R289m payout for Oceana workers
Comment on this storyCape Town - Employees of South Africa's largest fishing company netted more than a quarter of a billion rand in a trust payout on Thursday.
"Oceana Group will pay out R289 million to employee beneficiaries of the Oceana Empowerment Trust," CEO Francois Kuttel announced in Cape Town.
The trust, established in 2006, is a share ownership scheme for black employees. It has an 11.7 percent stake in Oceana.
The trust is currently worth R1.2 billion.
A total of 2650 beneficiaries, most of them living in the Western Cape and Northern Cape, will receive a pay-out.
"The payout will see workers receiving an average R100,000 (each) after tax," Oceana said in a statement.
Kuttel said his company took "the black-based part of BEE (black economic empowerment) very seriously".
Speaking at the event, Fisheries Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson described the pay-out as a historic moment.
"I implore other companies to do the same... We are running out of time," she said.
Oceana Group is a 54.9 percent black-owned and controlled company. Its core business is catching, processing, marketing, and distributing canned fish, fishmeal, fish oil, lobster, horse mackerel, squid, and hake.
Principal shareholders in the company include Tiger Brands Limited (41.9 percent) and Brimstone Investment Corporation Limited (16.8 percent).
Oceana is listed on both the JSE and Namibian (NSX) securities exchanges.

Albany Herald
ALBANY — Michelle Mitchell took the Darton State College women's basketball program to new heights last year, guiding the Lady Cavs to a 30-4 record and a first-round bye in the NJCAA national tournament.
Now she plans on taking the Albany State program to the next level, too.
Mitchell, who signed with Division I Troy University after graduating from Darton, is transferring to Albany State University and will start her career with the Lady Rams next winter as a junior. She is enrolled at ASU for the spring semester of 2014 and will work out and train with the team in the months leading up to the 2014-15 season.
"She is going to change (Albany State's) program," Darton coach Lea Henry said. "She is that good. (ASU coach Robert Skinner) has a good team right now, but she is the one player who can kind of take you there. The one player who can take you up a notch."
Henry knows all about Mitchell's ability to take over games after the Eastman native averaged 16.6 points per game and was named the Region XVII Player of the Year as a sophomore.
And Skinner agrees that Mitchell might have an extraordinary impact on his program.
"We are really pleased to get Michelle back in Albany," said Skinner, whose Lady Rams are 4-2 this season. "Michelle is just a great basketball player. She is really good and really consistent and is very disciplined. We are trying to bring in kids who are good basketball players and can play more than one position and help us on defense also. And that's Michelle. She's a hard-nosed, tough kid."
Mitchell was one of Troy's prized recruits a year ago, but the 5-foot-9 guard said it just didn't work out at the Sun Belt Conference school.
"It's not all about the Divisions. It's about if you feel like you can fit in with the team and are comfortable playing," Mitchell said. "Troy just wasn't for me. It was overrated. Division I basketball is overrated."
Mitchell believes she will find that same comfort at ASU that allowed her to excel at Darton.
"I feel like I can fit in with the team," she said. "I know a couple of the players, and we will work very well together."
Mitchell initially contacted Henry about her desire to return to Albany, and then Henry relayed the information to Skinner.
"(Henry) said Michelle wanted to come back to Albany and asked if I would be interested in her, and I said, 'Would I be interested? Yes,' " said Skinner, who recruited Mitchell while she was at Darton.
There's no place else Mitchell would rather be.
"I just want to be that all-around player and do what I can for the team," Mitchell said. "I want to help the team win, that's all I want to do."

Sacred Rhythms Wellness Center's eight highly trained staffers aim to diffuse ailments with a suite of holistic services, from traditional massage to pain-relieving acupuncture. In private treatment rooms with flickering candles, holistic healers conduct chakra assessments before realigning energy points with reiki or sound therapy. The ancient art of cupping encourages the body to release toxins, and an herbal body wrap cloaks the corpus in an elixir of 27 minerals and herbs that lures impurities and uninvited dinner guests out of the skin. Clients can also indulge in organic facials blended from fruits, vegetables, spices, minerals, and vitamins, and the center's own skincare line, Sacred Skin, is also formulated in-house using naturally sourced, organic ingredients. The center offers yoga, tai chi, and meditation classes.
Licensed massage therapist Shelley Steeves steams towels, their heat radiating as she places them on a patient's back, warming the skin before her fingers get to kneading out tension and stress. Clients return to Sacred Beauty again and again for such tension-reducing services, each of which is catered to the client's needs and time constraints. Shelley's signature Serenity massage couples the long strokes of Swedish massage with warm towels and the aromatherapy of essential oils, locking clients in a soothing embrace for a quick 30-minute session, or as a longer service or package. During a hot-stone massage, smooth, warm rocks dissolve sites of tension and epidermal surfaces soften during a sea-salt body scrub, which leaves just a hint of the sea, or enough to convince you that actually going to the ocean is overrated.
After renting a chair for seven years, Erika Cook, a stylist with 16 years of experience, was ready to move up. With the support of her family, friends, clients, and fiancé, she opened Tranquility Salon & Spa, where she and her staff perform everything from curls with Surface hair products to manicures with durable Shellac gel polish. Cook is doing everything she can to make the salon a success, especially by making as many services available as possible. Along with waxing and makeup applications, she offers hot-stone, sports, and other massage services, as well as glycolic-acid peels that reduce the worry lines that appear when you agonize too long over whether to buy ketchup or catsup.
The sound of shears snipping away at split ends permeates Simplicity Hair Care, where salon owner Dawn Cyr draws on more than a decade of cosmetology experience to helm a team of professional stylists?all of whom pride themselves on using products that protect hair with limited artificial additives. The eco-friendly and fashion-forward salon?s natural approach manifests in shelves stocked with low-ammonia hair color from Wella and sustainable styling products from Alterna Bamboo, Sebastian, and Wella. When they aren?t taming curls or charming snakes on Gorgons? scalps, the stylists lengthen locks with extensions crafted from all-natural human hair or rein in frizz with texture-altering treatments.
Sharon Farber is the licensed massage therapist, healer, and owner of Dragonfly Healing Arts. With more than 25 years of massage therapy experience, she provides a safe place for her clients to heal and grow. Her healing center allows clients to connect their bodies, minds, and spirits in a welcoming and sacred space. It offers services including massage therapy and Reiki energy healing along with meditation, yoga, and mediumship.
With Marilyn Monroe's timeless likeness keeping a watchful eye on coiffure transformations, Studio180's savvy stylists snip strands and apply careful color in foils or all-over treatments. They can also make curly hair straight—and vice versa—with advanced retexturizing treatments. Fancy updos prepare brides for a big day, and facial waxing keeps complexions fuzz-free longer than shaving or shaking your head like a Wooly Willy.

Byers Canyon shooting range in Hot Sulphur Springs reopens to public
HOT SULPHUR SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Parks and Wildlife has reopened the Byers Canyon public shooting range in Hot Sulphur Springs, with a reminder not to use any tracer rounds that could spark wildfires.
Wildlife officials say two fires were sparked last year by people using illegal tracer ammunition, which have a pyrotechnic charge built in to make the bullet visible.
The Byers Canyon shooting range closes every winter to protect big game seeking forage in the area.
It typically reopens in April.
The range features five centerfire rifle ranges, one rimfire rifle range, one shotgun range and one handgun range.

Scientists have described a new family of proteins that appear to play a key role in cancer and might be targets for future cancer drugs.
A major new study in the journal Nature sets out the structure of the new family, called glutamate intramembrane proteases the founding member of which plays a critical role in transforming healthy cells into cancer cells.
The research, funded by Cancer Research UK and conducted by scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, defined the structure of a protein called Rce1, and established it as the first known member of a whole new protein family.
The research was conducted on Methanococcus maripaludis Rce1, a homologue of human Rce1. It has relevance to cancer in humans because Rce1 helps control another class of proteins (the CAAX proteins) involved in cell division and the transformation into cancer.
These CAAX proteins include one of the most important of all triggers for cancer the Ras protein which is enormously important for turning cells cancerous but has been difficult to target with traditional drugs.
Understanding the other proteins that are required for Ras to trigger cancer is therefore enormously important, since they may prove easier targets for precision drug treatment.
The researchers chose M. Maripaludis Rce1 from a shortlist of around 30 versions from different organisms including humans, yeast and bacteria. They selected the M. Maripaludis version as the most suitable for the crystallisation process needed to study the protein in detail. Although M. Maripaludis Rce1 is quite different from human Rce1, it shares important elements of its structure.
Using a second bacterium, Escherichia coli, as a protein factory, the researchers manufactured M. Maripaludis Rce1 before purifying and then crystallising it. Using a technique called X-ray diffraction, they were able to examine the structure of

Remember Inner Lip Tattoos??
Tattoo // Wednesday, October 03, 2012
There was definitely a time in the early 90's where the thought of getting an inner lip tattoo seemed like a cool idea. Its hidden, rebellious, it seems like a pretty fun party trick and it seems like the perfect place for any 4 letter word. Apparently this tattoo trend hasn't died out and there are new lip tattoos out there to behold, in that awkward moment when you are forced to look at the eroding gums of someone you just met, to check out their 'ink'.
Fingers Dead at Swahili Bobs
Tattoo // Tuesday, October 02, 2012
Fighting roosters, burning churches (in the perfectly appropriate shape of a human skull), shrine tributes and bulletproof fonts- ahhh- all in a days work. The intricate permanent renderings of Fingers Dead, an artist over at Swahili Bob's Tattoo in Sweden show no shame. A brilliant artist to visit next time you find yourself in his neighborhood of the globe.
Rendered Tattoo Realism
Tattoo // Tuesday, October 02, 2012
Color or blackscale? Full sleeve, or business sleeve? Gorgeous tattooed rendering by the talented fashion illustrator Ricardo Fumanal depicting 2 fully tattooed arms. I'd be curious to know where or who he got his tattoo illustration inspiration from.
The Steady Hand of Mike Moses
Tattoo // Tuesday, October 02, 2012
There is no doubt in my mind that when you got it, you simply got it. Talent, an eye for color and composition, a good sense of aesthetic direction, design and dedication all fall into this category. There is also no doubt that Mike Moses, over at Thicker Than Water Tattoo in NYC, carries these traits. His skillful hand stays busy doing what he does best, leaving a permanent mark, gracing others with what comes natural.
Flo Nuttall's Solid Line
Tattoo // Sunday, September 30, 2012
I can certainly say that one of my favorite kinds of tattoo (visually) is simple, black solid line work. Even if it is an unfinished piece, I love the simplicity and relationship it has to illustration. This series is from the incredibly talented Flo Nuttall, who believe it or not, has only been tattooing for a year and a half!! Schedule yourself in now while you still can, Flo is at Love Hate Tattoo, in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Gakkin's Legs
Tattoo // Saturday, September 29, 2012
Absolutly LOVE these inked legs by Gakkin, resembling vintage clip art compilations for cut-and-paste designers. The boldness of his work and the contrast of the elements make for incredibly unique and beautifully designed stems. Gakkin is a tattooer out in Kyoto, Japan working at Harizanmai Tattoo.
Lyle Tuttle Tattoo Interview
Tattoo // Thursday, September 27, 2012
'Before Ami James, Kat Von D, and reality TV, there was tattoo superstar Lyle Tuttle. Tattooing since 1949, Lyle rose to fame in the late '60s tattooing a predominantly female clientele and celebrities like Janis Joplin, Peter Fonda, and Cher at his San Francisco studio. He appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and was photographed by Annie Leibovitz for the inside cover of Rolling Stone in the 1970s, an iconic image of modern tattooing...'

Lydia Bailey
1 edition published in 1952 in English and held by 1 WorldCat member library worldwide "In the year 1802, the infant Republic of Haiti, barely a year old, found itself tottering. It had won its freedom from the French while Napoleon was engaged elsewhere, but now the Master of Europe had turned his eye and his might against them, and all that opposed Napoleon was an ex-slave, Toussaint l'Ouverture, with a tiny nation wracked by factions and keyed to hysteria by the constant beat of jungle drums. On February 6th of the year 1802, Napoleon's fleet under the command of General Leclerc sailed into Cap François, and after months of rumblings, the volcano that was Haiti finally erupted. In the weeks that followed, Toussaint and his men withdrew into the mountains, wetting the scorched fields of their homeland with the blood of the Emperor's army. But while their troops sought a deadly and elusive enemy, glamorous Pauline, the sister of Napoleon, and her consort, Leclerc, strove to create a new Paris in Cap François." "Narrative picks up Robertson, an American lawyer from Baltimore, arriving in French-held Haiti to gain the signature of one Lydia Bailey to a document which will transfer a fortune to the United States. He makes his appearance just as the Ameircan consul is hurriedly packing to leave the island, since hostilities between the French and the Negroes momentarily is expected. Within the first few minutes of arrival, Robertson finds himself involved in the dissension, a little Negro boy carrying his bag killed and he himself knocked out by one of the top revolutionaries, William Marshall, known as King Dick. Dick, high up in the rebel forces, helps him reach the plantation where he can find Lydia Bailey, the ward of Charles Korvin, a French officer. Resultant footage delves into voodooism, attacks by the blacks upon white-held plantations, Robertson saving Lydia Bailey from massacre, and later efforts of the French to lure Toussaint l'Ouverture, leader of the blacks, into a false truce so he may be seized"--Variety review, May 28, 1952

Instead, at the end of six hours, the St. Vrain board voted 6-1 to transfer VanderMolen to an alternative middle school, where his talent for creating intense attachments with kids might be put to better use. The only boardmember voting against the transfer was Milt Etter, who six years earlier had been jailed and charged with misdemeanor child abuse for allegedly beating his wife's eight-year-old son when he failed to unload groceries quickly enough.
VanderMolen himself knows all about food fights. In December 1993, 21 years after he first joined the staff of LHS, he threw his lunch--complete with tray--at the school's kitchen supervisor when she told him he'd have to pay for his extra helping of salsa. "No goddamn woman is going to tell me what to do," he announced to the cafeteria.
But women were telling him what to do, and it was apparently sticking in the coach's craw. Since 1982, the head of the LHS physical education department had been a woman, Diane Schell, and VanderMolen had never appreciated her telling him when to teach a class, much less where and how. Even if that was her job--albeit an uncompensated one.
In fact, VanderMolen hadn't appreciated Schell from the first moment she took the position as physical education teacher and head girls' volleyball coach at LHS back in 1979, although she'd been born and raised in Longmont and her brother had once played football for VanderMolen. Early that first season, Schell set up softball equipment for her class. But when she went to use it, it was gone--removed by VanderMolen or his aide. There were other niggling irritations, but nothing Schell felt she could complain about at the time. "In those early years," she says, "we didn't know what sexual harassment was."
They do now.
On January 30, Schell and fellow physical education teacher Frances Sixkiller, the girls' volleyball coach who has brought two state championships home to Longmont, filed sexual-harassment complaints against VanderMolen with the school district. Schell's 29-page complaint outlined sixteen specific incidents stretching from October 1991 through January 1995; Sixkiller, who had taught in Lyons for seventeen years before joining the LHS staff in 1991, limited her list to the preceding seven months.
The day before Sixkiller and Schell filed their complaints, VanderMolen had been placed on paid administrative leave, reportedly for failing to heed a formal warning issued January 19 by LHS principal Duke Aschenbrenner and St. Vrain assistant superintendent Thelma Bishopp that he cease his inappropriate conduct toward Sixkiller and Schell.
He didn't. Push had really come to shove on January 25, when a few female students who were supposed to be in VanderMolen's "Ironworks" class were caught circulating a petition around school stating the following: "We as students at Longmont High School feel that our school environment would be more comfortable if we were not subjected to dress in front of people who openly profess to an alternative sexual lifestyle. We wish to make this petition to make LHS a more comfortable school environment."
That environment rapidly became much less comfortable. Although the petition did not name names, LHS has only three physical education teachers who are women--none of whom openly profess to much of any kind of lifestyle, much less an "alternative" one. Still, the stereotypes about single female gym teachers die hard, and it wasn't difficult for people to determine the petition's targets--or that VanderMolen's fingerprints were all over the place. After all, the coach had long complained about "lesbians" at the school, and the day after administrators confiscated the petition, he told one class, "I dearly thank you for sticking up for what you think is right." Listening was one of the students who'd circulated the petition; not only was she VanderMolen's assistant, but earlier that fall she'd complained to the coach that Sixkiller had treated her unfairly on the volleyball team and had even assigned players "sexually questionable" practice drills.
Such details are the subject of a February 23 report submitted to the school district by a team from the American Arbitration Association, which had been called in by Bishopp. The team interviewed forty people, including Schell (four hours), Sixkiller (two hours), VanderMolen (five hours), Aschenbrenner, Bishopp, the three other members of the LHS physical education department, assorted teachers, administrators, and students and their parents. "We've done nothing wrong," says Schell. "I've done nothing wrong in sixteen years. There's never been a question about my job or my morals. We're the victims here.

'Annie Get Your Gun' hits right on target
The Wichita Theatre's production of "Annie Get Your Gun," led by the sublime Lara Williams as the titular character, hits its target in every way.
The circuslike set, brightened by twinkling lights and campfire lights to set the magical mood, aims for wow and achieves it. Add to that a cast of jugglers, a vibrantly-colored ballerina, a clown, Native American characters in headdresses and a chorus of girls in poofy petticoat dresses, and the theater succeeds in completing that enchanting illusion of a late 19th century Wild West show.
The visual candy in this production is endless, and the "Annie" team even entertains the audience with dancing girls during set and costume changes.
But the jewel that sparkles the most is Williams in an astounding, commanding performance as Annie. She fulfills the character's promise in all its shades. Annie always has been an enormously likable character, and Williams makes her so. The actress, in what is her best role, hands down, is hilarious as the uneducated, ragamuffin, braggadocious Annie. She delivers these over-the-moon facial expressions and goofy laughs to convey how her character adores her love interest, Frank Butler. She goes from that to sweet and vulnerable, and she just about makes you cry at the end of the first act.
And what a find Chance Harmon is as Frank. He, too, understands the comic manna of his character and gives these aw-shucks and conquered-by-love cowboy expressions that really play to the audience.
He and Williams, their fine singing voices in tow, are perfectly cast.
"Annie Get Your Gun," if you've never seen the Irving Berlin classic, is a musical based on the life of real-life sharpshooter Annie Oakley, who is discovered and hired by Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show.
She joins the tour so she can be near the show's overconfident, charming star, Frank Butler.
The two fall in love, and it looks like they'll get married until Annie, the better shot, becomes a sensation and starts being billed as the show's star. That's when Frank leaves the show, and Annie, to join Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show.
Besides the resplendent set, the scenic artistry of Chris Jackson, the variety of wild west show characters and the emotionally rich performances, "Annie," directed by Abbie James, features brilliant choreography by Stephanie Medenwaldt for each song, particularly the very funny "My Defenses Are Down," by Frank and the cast's young men.
The cast is right on in its musical performances, thanks to the lead of musical director Carissa Hix.
The costumes by Lisa Jackson and Cheryl Jenkins are perfection, particularly Annie's duds as she transforms from ragamuffin to lady at a ball to sharpshooter extraordinaire in her glittery white shooting outfit.
And the supporting cast adds its own magic to this show. The standout was Kristin Hoskins as the scheming Dolly Tate. Wesley Vaughan as Tommy and Kayleigh Boyd as Winnie were cute as the young couple in love. Other supporting cast members that make this show a hit are Spencer Williams as Buffalo Bill, David Conrady as Chief Sitting Bull, Seigen Walker as Pawnee Bill, Kyle Coker as Charlie Davenport, Jim Winters as Foster Wilson, Hannah Davidson as Jessie, Sydney Wilson as Nellie and Chase Shaw as Little Jake.
The best scene in the show had to be the performance of "Anything You Can Do" by Williams and Harmon.
One thing's for sure, there wasn't anything this cast could do to make it better. This is one of those you-can't-miss-it shows.
What: "Annie Get Your Gun"
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and Sept.
28-29. Matinees are 2:30 p.m. Saturday and Sept. 29.
Where: Wichita Theatre, 10th and Indiana

The economy was growing at a moderate pace in December and early January, helped by gains in sales of consumer products, a boost in tourism and more.
Hiring keeps rising, and unemployment keeps falling. Eventually, pay and inflation are supposed to start surging in response. But that's not happening.
Job growth increased briskly in December, further strengthening the economy's fundamentals and increasing chances of an interest rate increase from the Fed.
President Obama recently told prominent CEOs that he wants to work with them to overcome stagnant wages.
U.S. private employers added 208,000 jobs in November, below economists' expectations, a report by payrolls processor ADP shows.
U.S. home prices rose at a faster year-over-year pace in October than in September, snapping a seven-month slowdown.
Manufacturing output rose in October, but a third straight month of declines in motor vehicle production suggested some slowdown in factory activity.
In the face of grim unemployment statistics for veterans, U.S. Pavement Services CEO Mike Musto is challenging other companies to hire at least one vet.
Fed Chair Janet Yellen says the Fed is striving to clearly communicate its intentions on interest rates to minimize surprises that could disrupt markets.
JPMorgan Chase says it will cut more than 3,000 jobs than previously expected in its retail banking unit.
America's underperforming economy likely did the Democratic party few favors in midterm elections Tuesday -- but it may not have been the decisive factor.
U.S. private employers added 230,000 jobs in October, exceeding economists' expectations, a report by payrolls processor ADP showed.
Republicans took control of Congress with a push from voters who feel they've been left behind in the nation's gradual economic recovery, exit polls show.
The stock market held close to record levels on Monday thanks to a strong U.S. manufacturing report, but falling oil prices weighed on energy stocks.
Consumer sentiment rose in October to its highest level in more than seven years on growing optimism about the economy, a survey shows.
Consumer spending fell in September for the first time in eight months, suggesting the economy lost some momentum heading into the fourth quarter.
The Fed plans to keep a key interest rate at a record low to support a job market that isn't yet healthy and help lift inflation from unusually low levels.
The global economy has stumbled, and financial markets have been volatile. But that doesn't mean the Federal Reserve plans any major policy shifts.
U.S. consumer confidence rebounded strongly in October, hitting a seven-year high as solid job gains raised expectations for economic growth.
New orders for capital goods by U.S. businesses recorded their biggest drop in eight months in September, a surprise decline.
The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits rose last week, but the underlying trend remained consistent with a firming labor market.
Industrial production posted the biggest gain in nearly two years in September as factory activity rose and utilities output logged a weather related jump.
U.S. retail sales declined in September and producer prices also fell, worrisome signals on the economy's health that helped fuel a major stock sell-off.
The government says the deficit for the just completed 2014 budget year was $483 billion, the lowest of President Barack Obama's six years in office.
Retail sales and producer prices fell last month, worrisome signals on the economy's health that heightened financial market worries over faltering growth.
Wall Street had its best day of the year, Wednesday, erasing a steep loss from the day before. Investors were reacting to minutes from the Fed's latest policy meeting.
The Fed's debate on whether to change its interest rate guidance heated up last month, with officials saying the central bank risked misleading investors.
The federal government's budget deficit has fallen to $486 billion, the smallest pool of red ink of President Barack Obama's six-year span in office.
Employers stepped up hiring in September and the jobless rate fell to a six-year low, which could bolster bets on a Federal Reserve rate hike in mid-2015.

What is your experience with these plants? Are they invasive? Deer resistant? I love the look of them in catalogs but wanted to get some real opinions. Thank you, Ree in MD |

Camas is native to my area and a lovely, less common, slowly naturalizing bulb. The Spanish bluebells on the other hand are a weed here in the PNW and considered an invasive species in the UK. But both bulbs may perform differently in different parts of the country. |
I grow Camassia leichtlinii and I'd agree that it is slow to increase. It prefers a damp soil and doesn't mind some shade. Bluebells spread by seed, runners, offsets. They turn up anywhere, sun or shade and a wide range of soil types. They dig themselves down into the soil and take on weird shapes. They look glorious when in flower and like an unkempt lawn thereafter. Their leaves produce a sort of mucus/slime when broken and they make a very effective weed suppressant. Nothing much survives the flop of the bluebell leaves. Nice flowers. Best kept quarantined in pots and deadheaded very promptly. Only naturalise if you have acres of space and plan to stay with your garden for years. |
Oh my! Vetivert8, I'm so glad I posted on GW. Thank you Gardengal48 for your input as well. They sound awful. Pretty is as pretty does. Thank you again. Ree in MD |

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
6 For though I would desire to glory , I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear , lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. | 6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say. |
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure . | 7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. |
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. | 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. |
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. | 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. |
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak , then am I strong. | 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. |
11 I am become a fool in glorying ; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles , though I be nothing. | 11 I have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the "super-apostles," even though I am nothing. |
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. | 12 The things that mark an apostle--signs, wonders and miracles--were done among you with great perseverance. |
13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. | 13 How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong! |
14 Behold , the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. | 14 Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. |
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you ; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved . | 15 So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less? |
16 But be it so , I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. | 16 Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery! |

Postal Commission Denies USPS Exigent Rate Increase Request
September 30, 2010From the outset, we devoted ourselves to a careful study of the law. The Commission and our staff have worked to determine the law's intent, to clearly understand its provisions and to define our responsibilities in order to apply it fairly. Notwithstanding the complexity and difficulty of the issues before us, the Commissioners' deliberations have been collegial. The decision we have come to is a consensus and is unanimous. We concluded we must deny the request.
The Price Cap is the centerpiece of the law; it had strong bipartisan support when enacted. The Cap was seen as essential for promoting efficiency and creating an environment of rate stability that would encourage mailers to stay in the mail and use it more, while providing the Postal Service with incentives to reduce its costs.
The Exigent rate provision is a carefully crafted exception to the Price Cap. Congress made the terms for the exception very narrow. To be valid, an exigent rate adjustment must be shown to be:
1. Due to either extraordinary or exceptional circumstances;
2. Reasonable, equitable, and necessary under best practices of honest, efficient, and economical management; and,
3. Necessary to maintain and continue the development of postal services of the kind and quality adapted to the needs of the United States.
All of these three provisions must be met.
The Commission responded to the Postal Service's July 6th request by initiating an expedited review process to last no more than ninety days. The Commission heard the Postal Service testimony and evidence that identified exigent circumstances and requested rate relief. A wide variety of parties submitted extensive arguments that were very helpful to the development of the record. In addition, the Commission received and reviewed more than 500 public comments.
The Postal Service has asked the Commission to find that volume declines resulting from the recent recession are an extraordinary or exceptional circumstance. The Postal Service also supported its request with a statement from its Chief Financial Officer that it is facing a cash flow crisis, and that without some assistance it will be unable to make Congressionally-required payments in September and October of 2011.
The documentation provided by the Postal Service demonstrated that the primary cause of the liquidity crisis was structural and related to an overly ambitious requirement for the Postal Service to prefund its future retiree health benefit premiums.
After careful consideration, the Commission agreed with the Postal Service that the recent severe recession, and the decline in mail volume experienced during the recession, do qualify as an extraordinary or exceptional circumstance under the law. However, the Commission finds that the requested exigent rate adjustments are not due to the recent recession, or its impact on mail volume. Rather, they represent an attempt to address long-term structural problems not caused by the recent recession. The Commission finds, therefore, that the Postal Service has failed to meet its burden under the law and the Commission is unanimous in denying its request for an exigent rate increase.

On Tesla's testing standards and air conditioning
I don't think [mainstream automakers] standards are higher. I think their standards are not high enough. Let's be clear about that. I would invite you to visit [our] test facility. It's pretty extreme.
The battery pack goes through every possible scenario. We have full-scale vibration tables that are also capable of thermally cycling the pack, so it can go through the "shake and bake." We can actually thermally shock the pack...while vibrating the pack, we have the salt tests, we do accelerated power cycling of the pack...
The toughest testing has been for safety. We want to make sure that, in extreme circumstances, the pack cannot break down. In order to achieve that, there are many levels of safety, starting with the cell; the cell is internally fused and then externally fused on each side so each cell is triple fused. Then each cell has a heat-shield sleeve around it. So you can have a cell go into thermal runaway and not affect the rest of the module. Let's say all those things fail, including the active safety systems -- there's a coolant loop running through that makes it very difficult for something like thermal runaway -- let's say in a very bizarre circumstance all of that fails, and the cells go into runaway. Then even at the module level we must contain that thermal runaway. We have to take the hot gas and vent it down at just the right angle, about a 45-degree angle away from the car, because we don't want it going under the car or into the wheel well. We're talking about an extremely unlikely event. But even in this event we want to make sure everything is OK.
The Roadster has prior-generation technology, but despite being involved in accidents -- none of which have ever been blamed on the car, by the way, people have just driven the cars like sports cars -- there's never been any battery fire in any Tesla, ever. I think we're taking extreme measures here to be safe.
The Roadster is not strong on air conditioning. If you're in a humid and a hot environment, the Roadster can sometimes struggle to keep up. That is not the case with the Model S, which can keep you ice cold in the middle of nowhere. If you want to be really cold in the middle of an Arizona summer, the pack is liquid thermal controlled. It's chilled and heated according to what the situation is. And the cell chemistry that we're using is actually conducive to high temperatures. We just completed our hot weather endurance testing, we had the Model S out in Death Valley. [During] the hottest portion of the day, we wanted to see if the Model S could maintain cabin temperature while going at 70 mph up an incline in Death Valley. Yes it can. I'll tell you what couldn't: the tow truck that we brought.
On being involved at such a detailed level
I'm an engineer, so what I do is engineering. That's what I'm good at.
On the fact that some automakers' CEOs are not so involved
It's shocking. I don't know how they make any kind of sensible decision. No, I'm super 'in the weeds.'
On what he'd tell someone trying to start a car company
It's an extremely capital-intensive industry. It should certainly not be anyone's choice if they are trying to get the highest return on investment.
So my first advice would be, unless they have some compelling non monetary reason to create a car company, as I did, than this is not a good use of their capital.
On environmentalism and his overriding mission
We needed to accelerate the advent of electric cars. There's a tragedy of commons problem that we have, a classic Economics 101 issue where there's a common good that's being consumed where the appropriate prices [don't exist to] cause the right actions to occur. And since we are not appropriately pricing the capacity of the oceans and atmosphere, then the only way that I could think of to address that was with innovation -- to come up with a product that was better so that people would choose to buy an electric car because it's the best car in the current economics of the source of energy. And that's the fundamental value that I was trying to achieve with Tesla. And we've had, I think, some effect. The [Chevrolet] Volt is a direct result of Tesla, which Bob Lutz has kind of credited us with.
My goal is to accelerate the advent of the electric car by whatever means necessary. And if we simply tried to sell electric powertrain technology to the car companies we would have had no success. We need to show by example.
On the viability of his businesses (and Mars)
SpaceX has been profitable now for a few years. There's a separate question as to how much progress SpaceX is going to make in developing technologies necessary to establish life on Mars. But there's not really much of a question whether SpaceX itself will survive.
The next six months for Tesla are going to be tough. I think six months from now, we'll know whether it will survive or not. And I think it will. But the next six months will determine that.
On manufacturing versus Internet startups [Musk founded what became PayPal]
I think manufacturing is really cool. It's like the ultimate Lego. I think there are a lot more smart people in America that should be working on manufacturing. There are far too many smart people that went into finance and real estate and stuff. We used to have a lot of smart people that went into manufacturing. I think we are seeing a bit of resurgence in U.S. manufacturing and we'll see more of it because things are getting not that cheap in China. I would never build in China, out of intellectual property concerns. It's asking for trouble there. And I'd have to travel to China all the time.
On how he'd feel if Tesla fails to compete with mainstream automakers' electric cars.
If Tesla had served as [an accelerant], we'd consider it mission accomplished at that point. Because it means that big car companies had made lots of electric cars. The more electric cars, the better. On a financial level it would be disappointing, and there would probably be lots of people angry at me, but I honestly would still feel personally that we had been successful if that were the outcome.
On the personal toll of running two companies
It would suck if I went insane. I really hope that doesn't happen. Please send me a note [if that happens]: "It appears you're going insane. Just letting you know." It's good to question one's sanity because at the point you stop doing that, you're probably insane.
On retiring to a vineyard
Maybe when I'm really old. I plan to be at least 65 or 70 before I have a vineyard.

Caring for muscle spasticity or spasms
Caring for muscle spasticity or spasms
Alternate Names
High muscle tone - care; Increased muscle tension - care; Upper motor neuron syndrome - care; Muscle stiffness - care
Muscle spasticity, or spasms, causes your muscles to become stiff or rigid. It can also cause exaggerated deep tendon reflexes, like a knee-jerk reaction when your reflexes are checked.
These things may make your spasticity worse:
- Being too hot or too cold
- The time of day
- Stress
- Tight clothing
- Bladder infections and spasms
- Your menstrual cycle (for women)
- Certain body positions
- New skin wounds or ulcers
- Hemorrhoids
- Being very tired or not getting enough sleep
Your physical therapist can teach you and your caregiver stretching exercises you can do. These stretches will help keep your muscles from getting shorter or tighter.
Being active will also help keep your muscles loose. Aerobic exercise, especially swimming, and strength-building exercises are both helpful. Playing games and sports and doing daily tasks may also help. Talk with your doctor or physical therapist first before starting any exercise program.
Your doctor or nurse may place splints or casts on some of your joints to keep them from becoming so tight that you cannot move them easily. Make sure to wear these as your doctor or nurse tells you to.
Be careful about getting pressure sores from exercise or being in the same position in a bed or wheelchair for too long.
Muscle spasticity can increase your chances of falling and hurting yourself. Be sure to take precautions so that you do not fall.
Drugs that Help with Spasticity
Your doctor may prescribe drugs for you to take to help with muscle spasticity. Some common ones are:
- Baclofen (Lioresal)
- Dantrolene (Dantrium)
- Diazepam (Valium)
- Tizanidine (Zanaflex)
These medicines have side effects. Call your doctor if you have these side effects and they make it hard for you to keep taking your medicine:
- Being tired during the day
- Confusion
- Feeling "hung over" in the morning
- Nausea
- Problems passing urine
Do NOT just stop taking these drugs, especially Zanaflex. It can be dangerous if you stop taking your medicine all at once.
When to Call the Doctor
Pay attention to changes in your muscle spasticity. Changes may mean that your other medical problems are getting worse.
Always call your doctor or nurse if you:
- Have problems with the drugs you are taking for muscle spasms.
- Cannot move your joints as much. This is called joint contracture.
- Have a harder time moving around or transferring out of your bed or chair.
- Have skin sores or skin redness.
- Your pain is getting worse.

1989 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L Straight 6 from North America
Scary good! All around awesome car!
Noise from drive train in the back end at over 50mph.
Noisy fuel pump.
Folding seat doesn't work. (apparently a common 2 door model problem, but an easy fix)
Clunky transmission.
Electrical problems. (bought with custom stereo, may have a wiring problem)
Shocks blew out. (may have been my fault... found a badger hole though)
Slow start.
General Comments:
This rig worries me in that, despite the few groans and clanks, nothing has gone wrong in the 4 months I've owned it (though I've only put on just under 1500 miles).
The few problems it does have (above) are typical problems found with this model of car at this age, and are not yet bad enough to warranty repair according to my mechanics.
I've taken this vehicle where I probably shouldn't have, but its gotten me out every time. Has more power than I suspected from such an old yuppie rig.
Cosmetically looks great, runs even better and at 3k purchase price, with 21mpg/highway the cost is just gravy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

For more than a century before gay marriage became a hot-button political issue, same-sex unions flourished in America. Pairs of men and pairs of women joined together in committed unions, standing by each other "for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health" for periods of thirty or forty—sometimes as many as fifty—years. In short, they loved and supported each other every bit as much as any husband and wife.
In Outlaw Marriages, cultural historian Rodger Streitmatter reveals how some of these unions didn't merely improve the quality of life for the two people involved but also enriched the American culture.
Among the high-profile couples whose lives and loves are illuminated in the following pages are Nobel Peace Prize winner Jane Addams and Mary Rozet Smith, literary icon Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas, author James Baldwin and Lucien Happersberger, and artists Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg.
Praise for Outlaw Marriages:
"Outlaw Marriages gloriously outs same-sex couples through history and celebrates their love and impact in theater, arts, and social change. If you love the guilty pleasure of reading People magazine for your celebrity-couple news, you'll love this book. And the fact-checking is flawless!"—Kate Clinton, humorist
"15 love marriages that dared not speak their name defied laws and mores, flouted conventions, and live today in Streitmatter's essential, well-documented history."—Booklist
"The volume will have particular appeal to readers of gender studies, but these stories ultimately prove that true partnership is gender blind."—Publishers Weekly
"[A] nice gift for just the right couple."—Kirkus Reviews

Re: Welcome to BEL AIR - Belinda Benčič Cheering Thread
Was able to watch her singles final and the doubles final.
Very impressed with her mental strength during the singles and how solid she is. Smart player and that will take her far along with having a decent serve.
In the doubles though
She looked very negative and while she usually shakes it off in singles and helps her play better, in doubles she was consistently pretty off. Petra looked like the more positive one and basically won them the 2nd set, serving very well and hitting right through the girls at the net.
The third set started with Belinda serving and once she got broken, it looks like both girls were just done
But can't really blame Belinda as she's had a long day and a great tournament.
Will keep following her progress!
