? I didn't get it
OK, it seems to me that on move 5 black could have advanced the E pawn instead of moving the king. There was no stalemate as long as the bishop could still move. I don't see how white could have prevented a pawn promotion after that.
Many of the moves are wrong
This isn't even logical, why would black move his king from b3 to b4?
No Comment
real nice lesson.......
Move 4. Bb3 can the Black King just take it? or is doing that a tie?
First time! Sorry I should say that
I've been wondering the same thing. I read all these posts hoping somebody would explain what I missed there.
Exploring it a bit more, all I can figure is that Bd1 forces the black king to move anyway and then black loses the pawn at b2, and white will eventually still get a draw.
why couldn't black take bishop on move #4?
Love the fourth move; took me a minute there. Nice puzzle !
Because that would result in a stalemate.
ok thanks

I seriously found this one to be hard.
Nice one, but I did a good job! Only grabbed HELP once!
I don't fully understand move 4, wouldn't the King just take the bishop?

She has not only stormed the male bastion but has also achieved a rare distinction of being the first person from the Scheduled Castes to take the top rank in the English and Foreign Languages University (Eflu) entrance test.
Priya. P from Kozhikode topped the entrance test conducted by Eflu for admitting students to the BA Hons (English) programme and in the process also became the first girl to do so. "I am in love with books and perhaps that led to my passion towards English literature," Priya told The Hindu from Kozhikode.
Such was the passion for literature that she convinced her father, a DGM in BSNL, who was keen on her joining an engineering course.
"After the first rank, my parents now just cannot deny me the opportunity to study literature," said the student of Kendriya Vidyalaya No 1 in Kozhikode.
She scored a high of 89 per cent in the entrance test countrywide.
I am in love with books and perhaps that led to my passion towards English literature, says Priya. P from Kozhikode

… and stop shopping for "lingerie" at Wal-Mart! Happy New Year, everyone!
How to sum up the lingerie world in 2010? In a word, whew.
It was a year in which glam styles and goth looks, bold prints and subtle hues, sharp lines and gushing romanticism and a resurgence in vintage styling all competed for the lingerie buyer's attention. So "wow" moments weren't hard to find.
We've narrowed down our best-of list to 20 pieces that encompass a vast range of styles and brands, from new indie designers to some of the world's premium labels. We've left a LOT off the list, so we'll leave it to you to fill in any blanks in our 2010 scorecard.
First, we start with a slight cheat: the image above is actually from the new Spring-Summer 2011 collection by Lise Charmel, but it's been available for the past few weeks so we can't resist. It's from a new line called Look Fatal and it sums up the year for us: creative, colorful, beautifully styled and with just enough glam appeal to make it interesting.
Now, discuss among yourselves.
Lily silk floral-printed soft-cup triangle bra with bow detail and matching brief, from one of the UK's most ultra-romantic, and impressive, new labels. Comfort never looked sexier.
Sublim Up plunge bra from Aubade's Envoutante Esquisse collection. Everything Aubade does takes our breath away; this piece shows the venerable French label is constantly evolving.
One-shoulder bodysuit, modeled by Crystal Renn. It was a banner year for Victoria Bartlett's trend-setting New York label, which keeps defying convention with astonishing results. Who says nude lingerie has to be boring?
Mesh bra, waspie and string from the RC Instintual collection by Crescentini, the edgy diffusion line of Italian brand Cotton Club. Hot looks for glamorous math students.
Fresh Foundations satin and lace brief and garter. A brash mix of colors defines this very pretty set from the UK's hottest boutique label of 2010. Wildly creative, MBN seems willing to try anything, so watch closely.
From the Lonely II collection by the much-admired, often-imitated New Zealand label. Their Add It Up streetwear line was also the best compilation of layered undies we saw this year.
String and lace bodysuit from the fall-winter 2010 collection. This high-end Italian glam label makes jaw-dropping statement lingerie. If you're looking for applause, followed by panting and drooling, start your shopping here.
Sheer Romance peach silk and chiffon dressing robe. A magical creation from one of the new stars of New York fashion design.
Midnight bodysuit from the Swing collection. While everyone else was designing prints, Eres released a knockout fall line of monochrome pieces that draw from the French brand's swimwear lineage. A triumph of warm colors (this one's called roquine) and crisp architectural lines.
It seemed to take forever for Gaultier's capsule collection for La Perla to reach the stores, but it did not disappoint the faithful. Several pieces, like the Madonna-esque basque above, felt like Gaultier was plagiarizing himself, but does anyone care? This is your chance to whisper at your next cocktail party, "I'm wearing Gaultier!"
Lavender underwire bra and boyshort, from the Spring-Summer 2010 collection. One of the nicest sets from one of the most romantic collections of the year.
CK's minimalist aesthetic got a bit of a makeover with the sleek, refined new Envy line. Although we can't remember if Zoe Saldana was brought in to promote the lingerie, or vice-versa.
Greta lace and satin ensemble. Watching La Perla's bizarre efforts to reinvent itself this year was like watching Tiger Woods rebuild his golf swing — painful, confusing and done with our fingers crossed. Mercifully, the iconic label emerged from its rebranding exercise with a brilliant new range of styles, including this one, inspired by screen goddess Greta Garbo.
Cutout tie-dye leggings, from the F/W collection inspired by 1970s Swedish porn movies (true!) Know how to tell if a fashion writer has a clue? Look for the endlessly creative, boundary-pushing L&S on their best-of list; if it's not there, don't bother reading.
Lace and silk bodysuit. The stunning debut collection of silk finery from this London-based French designer was one of the year's great surprises.
Heart bra and I Love My Bike shorts from the Love is Like a Dreamland collection. Australian designer Courtney Meyer is like a rock star to young girls Down Under, and no wonder. Her summer collection was achingly sweet. And her Heart bra was, quite simply, the prettiest thing we saw all year.
Both collections this fall from Damaris and Mimi Holiday by Damaris were absolutely sublime. It was hard to choose just one piece, but we'll go with the Noir du Nuit ensemble by Damaris with FOUR different types of lace, as well as tulle, which best exemplifies the luxurious, ornate and innovative vision of this UK-based trendsetter.
The British label landed pouty supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whitely for their spring 2010 campaign, to predictable acclaim. More surprising was Monsoon's decision to add some exquisite vintage-inspired pieces like this one to its collection.
Looking for a single piece that screams 2010? How about this corset-dress with its elasticized bands, harness details and studded straps? In a year in which bondage-inspired riggings came out of the closet, so to speak, Bordelle led the way. Feel like a sexy bad-ass, even if you're just pretending.
Jean Paul Gaultier should have known better than to attach quilted shoulder pads to bras in his new lingerie line for La Perla. Now everyone's going to have them in their new collections. And we have to figure out how to wear the damn things.
Shoulder pads are the year's goofiest and most perplexing trend in underwear/outerwear accessories. Assuming you can figure out how to wear them, the next question is when-and-where.
This would not be a problem if the occasion were, let's say, your next Vogue cover shoot or perhaps a tryout for the Lingerie Football League. Otherwise, you're likely to leave these pieces in your closet.
Of course we jest — but only slightly. Have a look at the images below featuring the shoulder pad contraption from Gaultier's new Createur collection for La Perla. On the left, from Marie Claire UK, Posh looks sublime and you can imagine what this piece will do for her silhouette when worn under the right outfit. On the right, from a Marie Claire Italia spread, the stylist figures the pads work better on the outside. Clearly these things need to come with instructions.
Today's shoulder pads go way, way beyond the puffy padded inserts that pumped up our wimpy frames back in the 80s, when it was fashionable to look like a linebacker under our oversized blazers.
The latest shoulder accessories demand to be seen, and many of the designs featured in the gallery below are outerwear accessories suitable for club and party wear. Some of these pieces work well with your foundation garments or a bodysuit, while some stand alone as statement pieces. Now, what exactly that statement might be is anyone's guess.
Our advice? Think of the new breed of shoulder pads as decorative, not functional. Skip the overbuilt bras and wear these pieces like you would a big belt: not so great as office wear, but perfect for your next Ke$ha concert.
Huit Lingerie, Cupcake Magic Air Bra and Boxer Short. The French label is renowned for its architectural detailing, but this just looks uncomfortable — and heavy.
Una Burke, studded leather epaulets from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection Trans.Form. Must-have wear for your next medievalists' fair.
Dimepiece Designs. This puffed piece shows up in the L.A. label's new Save No Prayer collection but we can't find it in their online store, so we don't know what to tell you. L.A. fashion is all about being seen and remembered; this should do the trick.
Electric-Ibiza, Ruby Aztec pink fringe bodysuit. Why does this make us think of Sgt. Pepper? The attachable feathered shoulder piece in the main photo is also from Electric. Watch for our profile of this hot new label next week.
Rachel Friere, from the AW 2010 collection. Amplified shoulders are a common motif in the futuristic creations of this UK artist/designer. This militaristic outfit looks like it was made for one of those Alien/Predator movies, though for which monster we're not sure.
Zana Bayne, 2- and 3-wing shoulderpieces. The ultra-buzzy NY leather artist takes shoulder accessorizing seriously and her Fall 2010 collection included these spiky epaulets. They fit under the arms with a connecting strap across the back. Just be careful you don't poke someone's eye out.
Blessings and best wishes for the holiday season to all our friends and fans. We'll be back in a few days!
Part of the fun of working in this industry is looking at all the ridiculously creative marketing campaigns used to sell lingerie.
Video in particular has become the lingerie marketer's best friend; like the product itself, film exerts its power through suggestion and association to excite the viewer's imagination. Talk about a match made in heaven. And, as Lane Bryant or Fortnight Lingerie learned this year, you don't need access to the airwaves to get your message out.
We set out to pick the top 10 lingerie videos of 2010 but, like kids in a candy store, just couldn't stop. So, at the risk of using up a month's worth of bandwidth in a single day, here are 15 films to titillate, amuse and seduce you while you're wrapping presents.
The videos below come from a wide variety of sources and range from big-budget TV commercials to DIY indie shorts, some seen by tens of millions around the world and some barely seen outside the filmmaker's Facebook group.
We've listed them in no particular order, except to say that the first video below was our overall favorite. (The photo above is a contact sheet from that film).
Alas, there are hundreds more that were regrettably left off the list. Santa, if you're listening, all we want for Christmas is more bandwidth.
Marloes Horst by Warwick Saint
Dutch model Marloes Horst was everywhere in 2010, most notably in some memorable lingerie campaigns for Princesse Tam Tam and other labels. This languid little film by U.S. celeb photographer Warwick Saint was our favorite video of the year. Marloes, decked out in luxurious Stella McCartney undies and a hand-made diamond and platinum necklace, allows the camera to worship her while Cat Power purrs seductively on the soundtrack. Very very sexy. You can see Part 2 of this collaboration here.
Lane Bryant – 'Not What Mom Would Wear'
With 4 million views on YouTube alone, and unknown numbers around the world who saw this on the news, Lane Bryant's "banned" TV ad for its new Cacique line was a true marketing phenomenon and made an unlikely media star of Ashley Graham. Kudos to all involved for taking a brave stand and weathering the storms that followed. This video didn't change public stereotypes about plus-sized women overnight, but it ignited a lengthy and healthy debate and for that we owe them thanks.
Ann Summers – 'Giving Wood Since 1972′
One of a series of riotously naughty videos this year from the boundary-pushing Ann Summers, purveyors of great lingerie and battery-powered accessories. We'd love to show you their latest production, Christmas is Coming, but it's so NSFW we can't even describe it. Have a look, and be prepared to gasp, snort and howl before you forward the link to all your friends.
Justin Anderson – Chore Damaris
Smart, sexy and a bit odd, Justin Anderson's project for UK label Damaris was hugely popular thanks to its unlikely juxtaposition of housework with the world's hottest underthings. Vacuuming will never be the same.
Agent Provocateur – 'Betty Sue'
We lost track of how many videos comprised Agent Provocateur's hugely ambitious Private Tapes, a series of grainy peep-show films to promote their new fall line. After seeing a few, they all started to look the same and blend together in our mind. AP forgot the first lesson of lingerie: less is more. Regardless, the concept was brilliant and we can't wait to see what they do next. The video above, with Kirsty Hume playing the aggressive vixen Betty Sue, was our favorite from the Private Tapes series.
Alexandra Grecco
This no-budget gem is three minutes of pure joy from retro designer Alexandra Grecco, featuring model Celia Rowison-Hall twirling around the room. A great soundtrack from The Generationals helps. Our only complaint is that only a few of Grecco's lingerie pieces are shown.
Oh La La Cheri
This entry from the Parisian label Oh La La Cheri is a straightforward commercial video that oozes elegant sensuality. The old-money setting and lingering camera make it work.
Fortnight Lingerie – 'Super Sexy Abdominal Thrusts'
Toronto's Fortnight Lingerie had the OTHER video hit of the year with their amusing, original multi-purpose Super Sexy CPR. This was the follow-up, which we prefer if only because of the very sweet payoff at the end. Both are worth seeing again. So is our article about the video.
Angela Ferraro – 'Elle Tourmente'
Honey Birdette, an Australian lingerie boutique chain, held a contest this year inviting fans to submit original short films to promote their brand. Hmm, sounds like a great way to get film students to do free PR. Regardless, the results were very impressive and the winning entry, 'Elle Tourmente' by director Angela Ferraro, is exceptional. Check out the rest of the 'Saucy Shorts' here.
Victoria's Secret – Angels Lip Synching
Victoria's Secret churned out a couple of dozen high-end BTS vids and big-budget commercials this year, but this is the one that sticks like glue. Released online as a promo for the VS Fashion Show last month, it features the usual Angels prancing around while lip synching very convincingly to Katy Perry's 'Firework'. The whole thing is a blast and is worth many repeat viewings. The song fits VS perfectly and you will swear Behati can sing! And even if she can't, one thing is certain: the Angels lip-synch waaay better than Katy.
Journelle – 'The Lover'
NYC's Journelle, every lingerista's favorite store, released a series of well-crafted promo videos earlier this year. 'The Lover', a sultry bit of European-style tease, is our favorite.
London Fashion Week – 'Underworld'
This was a collaborative piece to promote the Lingerie Boudoir at London Fashion Week, and features lingerie from 10 designers including Ell & Cee, Ayten Gasson, Kiss Me Deadly and Lascivious. Shot by Ali Peck, music by Marilyn Manson, and, yes, that's Marloes Horst again.
Bordelle – S/S 2011 Teaser
This is as basic as it gets — a model posing in pieces from Bordelle's spring 2011 line. Now try to take your eyes off it.
Armani Jeans – 'The Tip'
Not strictly a lingerie ad, but you'd never know it. Featuring Megan Fox, there's a clever storyline and — bonus! — a companion video featuring Cristiano Rinaldo pretty much doing the same thing.
Fresh Pair – 'Summer Body'
Okay, okay, this is men's underwear. But it's just too damn funny not to show again. Ladies, prepare to nod in disgust.

WELCOME FROM THE MEC GAUTENG – The Smart Province THE SOUTH AFRICAN ECONOMY AND ITS ENGINE ROOM, GAUTENG Gauteng has the highest per capita income, the highest disposable income and accounts for a third of the country's GDP THE BIG PICTURE S outh Africa's economy is the largest, most sophisticated and diverse in Africa – by far. Over the longer term, the economy has made a natural transformation from one that Miners was essentially agricultural based to one that, after the discovery of the mineral wealth in and around Johannesburg, was largely dependent on minerals and the extractive industries. Today, while the role of mining and minerals remains important, the secondary and tertiary sectors generate the . largest part of GDP Mining and agriculture together account for just , 10% of GDP while manufacturing accounts for just under 20% and finance just over 20%. % ECONOMIC GROWTH RATE - SA & GAUTENG 7 6 5 4 3 2 SA 1 Gauteng 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006* Source: Statistics SA, Gauteng Treasury * Estimate figures The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng SA ECONOMY AT A GLANCE Area 1.2 million sq km Population 47.8m Currency R1 = 100 cents Time GMT + 2 hrs Official Name Republic of South Africa Capitals Cape Town (Legislative) Pretoria (Administrative) Bloemfontein (Judicial) Head of State President Thabo M Mbeki Main Languages 11 Official languages English preferred language of business Religion Predominantly Christian.

Since the inauguration of democratic government in 1994, South Africa has enjoyed a run of unprecedented economic growth. Over a period of eight consecutive years of positive growth, all the key indicators of economic health have improved. Budget deficits were reduced dramatically, foreign debt and government debt have declined significantly, inflation, once at double-digit rates, has since been reduced to low single-digit levels, and economic growth has been consistent and steady. Individual and corporate taxes have been reduced. So has unemployment. Meanwhile, the stock market has realized record growth in volume and value. Altogether, it is a record any government would be pleased to claim credit for. Uninterrupted growth has its downside. Inflationary pressures emerge and the national infrastructure becomes overextended in an economy demanding a modern, efficient road, rail and port system with the capacity to handle higher levels of manufacturing, tourism and trade. When the 2010 FIFA World Cup is added to the equation, the country is challenged to step up performance to the next level. Fortunately, South Africa should be up to the challenge. Commodity prices should remain buoyant as global demand for gold, platinum, coal and other mineral resources is expected to remain strong. Continued rising consumer spending, combined with massive infrastructure spending The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng GDP - SA & GAUTENG Rbn At current prices 2,000 1,800 1,600 1,400 1,200 SA 1,000 Gauteng 800 600 400 200 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Source: Statistics SA GDP PER CAPITA SA & GAUTENG At current prices Rands 70,000 60,000 50,000 40,000 SA 30,000 Gauteng 20,000 10,000 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Source: SA Reserve Bank, Stats SA, Budget Review in preparation for 2010, will keep inflationary pressures alive. However, the Reserve Bank has consistently responded quickly and decisively to changing inflation scenarios and used interest rate changes effectively to stem inflation or stimulate the economy. The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng MACROECONOMIC POLICY With a stable political and economic environment in place, government in 2006 introduced the Accelerated and Shared Growth Initiative - South Africa (ASGISA) as a blueprint for reducing constraints to investment. Among the constraints that could discourage the levels of investment needed to reduce unemployment and poverty are: - infrastructure bottlenecks - lack of capacity, especially at the local level - skills shortages, especially in the public sector - labour market rigidity - currency stability - over-regulation These constraints are already being addressed. Infrastructure spending is rising rapidly. Business and labour legislation is under review. Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) codes have been revised. Restrictions on foreign workers have been eased. Through sound monetary and fiscal policies, currency fluctuations have been substantially reduced. Skills shortages and lack of delivery capacity are longer term problems but are being addressed. It has long been government's stated official policy to welcome and encourage foreign direct investment. Its record on monetary and fiscal policy, the ASGISA initiative and the revision of the BEE codes, among other actions, validate government's policy statements. All the actions were designed to create a more favourable business environment in South Africa. The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng FOREIGN TRADE Foreign trade is an important part of the South African economy, normally . amounting to about 50% of GDP Total trade has been expanding steadily with economic growth over the past decade. For the past few years the country has run a trade deficit. Economic growth, infrastructure spending and a stronger currency have contributed to greater demand for imports and made exports more expensive. Fortunately, record levels of foreign investment in the equity markets have kept the current account deficit within acceptable levels. With continued heavy spending on infrastructure, the trade and current accounts are likely to remain in deficit for the next several years. Continued global economic growth is expected to keep commodity prices high which will ameliorate the expected deficit. South Africa's main trading bloc is the European Union. On country terms the main trading partners are Germany, USA, UK, China and Japan. Since the demise of apartheid, trade with other African countries has burgeoned, with South Africa enjoying a huge surplus of about six to one. Manufacturing accounts for over 60% of exports while minerals have declined to about 30%. Exports consist mainly of minerals (platinum, gold and coal), base metals, other precious metals and diamonds, intermediate commodities and, increasingly, fully assembled automobiles and components. Imports are dominated by petroleum products, machinery, raw materials, chemicals and consumer goods. The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng THE BUDGET South Africa's budget process has been rated as the third most transparent in the world, just after France and Britain and ahead of the US. Over the past dozen years, budget deficits have been reduced steadily and substantially. In 2006 and 2007, the South African Minister of Finance, blessed with substantial revenue overruns, was able to present a budget surplus. Over 80% of South Africa's tax revenue comes from personal and corporate income tax and a 14% value added tax (VAT). The biggest allocations for spending go to education and social welfare and most of that is distributed through the provinces. , Capital expenditure, now at about 6% of GDP will increase over the near term to address infrastructure bottlenecks and to meet the requirements for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Here are a few of the reasons that Gauteng already is the preferred investment destination for both foreign and domestic businesses: - Provincial GDP accounts for one third of South Africa's GDP , - Gauteng's GDP is greater than any other country in SADC (Southern Africa Development Community) and is the fourth largest in Africa. The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng - Gauteng has the highest per capita income, the highest disposable income and the highest literacy rate in the country. - Gauteng is the centre of finance and industry with a highly sophisticated and diverse economy including transport and communications, business services, call centres, manufacturing, mining, ICT. - Gauteng has the most literate and skilled labour pool in South Africa. - Three of the country's metropolitan municipalities are located in Gauteng: City of Johannesburg, the provincial capital and largest city in the country, is the most advanced financial centre in Africa and home to the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE). Ekurhuleni is Africa's leading manufacturing centre. City of Tshwane is the administrative capital of South Africa. - Gauteng is home to outstanding universities, technical colleges and research institutions. Since 1994, Gauteng's average annual economic growth rate has exceeded that of the country as a whole. In 2005 the Gauteng economy grew at a 5.4% rate compared to 5.1% for South Africa. The provincial economy is expected to grow by 6% in 2007 and to reach its objective of achieving an 8% growth rate by 2014. Given Gauteng's dominance in the South African economy, it is not surprising that the two economies are similarly structured. Finance (21%) and manufacturing (19.7%), along with trade (12.8%) and government services (15.7%), account for over two-thirds of The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng % UNEMPLOYMENT BY PROVINCE 2006 SA Total Unemployed: 4.4m, 25.5% (official definition) Eastern Cape Free State Gauteng KwaZulu-Natal Limpopo Mpumalanga North West Northern Cape Western Cape 0 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 Source: Statistics SA/ Labour Force Survey March 2006 . Gauteng's GDP Nationally, those four sub-sectors also account . for just over two-thirds of GDP The province's primary sector – agriculture and mining – contributes less than 4% to GDP whereas the primary sector nationally contributes about 10%. Like the national economy, Gauteng's economy has evolved over time from a heavy dependence on agriculture and mining to one dominated by finance, trade and services. ECONOMIC SECTORS Just about every conceivable economic activity can be found in Gauteng's modern, integrated economy. And the economy is broad based, spread throughout the various regions. For example, Johannesburg is dominated by finance and business services. Mining dominates the western areas and manufacturing the eastern. Coal, iron and steel are predominant in the Vaal region in the southern part of the province and Pretoria's economy is based on government services, motor vehicle industries and transport.

Maize is the main agricultural product of the province. MANUFACTURING Gauteng has the largest manufacturing base in the country with almost half of all factories located there. As with the national economy, manufacturing has not grown as fast as the tertiary sector and now is the second largest contributor to the province's , GDP after financial services. Still, manufacturing provides more employment than any other economic sector. The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng Food products, automotive components and assembly, industrial chemicals, iron and steel production, metal fabrication and refined petroleum products have been the mainstay of the Gauteng manufacturing sector but, as the 'smart' province evolves into a Global City Region (GCR), hi-tech manufacturing, along with ICT products and transport equipment, look to be the fastest growing sub-sectors. The main destinations of goods manufactured in Gauteng are Europe, the Far East, the US and other African countries. South Africa's largest international airport – OR Tambo Internatinal Airport - is located in Gauteng and the province is also the hub of both the national road and railroad systems. Gauteng is therefore the gateway for trade to Africa and provides direct transportation links to the major ports in South Africa and Mozambique. SERVICES Like the national economy, services now dominate the Gauteng economy. Building, construction, trade, catering and accommodation and especially financial services are the major sub- sectors and are growing steadily to accommodate an expanding economy and a growing tourism industry. As described in the section on Business Services in Doing Business in Gauteng, the financial services sector in South Africa is of world class standards and one of the great strengths of the national economy. That sector is centred mainly in Gauteng and provides the investor traditional The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng banking services as well as ready sources for raising finance for business expansion. THE GAUTENG BUDGET Like the rest of the provinces, Gauteng depends heavily on the central budget for its revenue. Of net provincial revenue, 95% comes from the central government in the form of equitable share (75%) or conditional (25%) grants. Gauteng is the second largest recipient of central government transfers after KwaZulu-Natal. A large portion of Gauteng's conditional grant funds are earmarked for the Gautrain Rapid Rail Link. Five percent of the Gauteng budget revenue comes from provincial sources such as gambling taxes, vehicle licenses and hospital fees. On the expenditure side, two-thirds of the budget is devoted to education (36%) and health (30%). The province also makes transfers to local governments within the province. Some 80% of infrastructure spending goes to public transport, roads and works (60%) and housing (20%). Overall, the Gauteng budget is geared to support the basic strategic objectives of the province: - to reduce high levels of unemployment and poverty. - to enhance broadbased economic growth - to invest in strategic infrastructure - to promote Gauteng as a preferred destination for investment, tourism, business and sport. The South African Economy – And Its Engine Room, Gauteng - to consolidate Gauteng as a major economic hub of Africa and as an internationally recognized global city region.

Very nice skin sale.
if noxus hunter is on sale, does that mean an incoming anivia skin is going to be released?
I really think they need a 300 themed pantheon skin. Sort of like a battle scarred kinda thing. don't get me wrong, the new one looks great. but Panth needs a bloody battle kind of look, plus without a helmet. that would just be epic beyond reason.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Resident feels drivers need lesson on traffic circles
Although traffic circles are becoming more and more common across the city, one East Kildonan resident says drivers still need to learn how to use them properly.
Michelle Taylor said she has witnessed drivers having difficulty navigating traffic circles, including the ones located on Roch Street.
Taylor said her 14-year-old son Chris and their dog were almost hit by a driver at an intersection with a traffic circle earlier this fall.
"A lot of people don't seem to know how to use them. We need to do more education," said Taylor, who uses the traffic circles on Roch a few times a week.
"You could have public meetings, but then again you need to have people who want to learn."
Chris said the driver who nearly hit him and the family dog was travelling at nearly 70 km/h on the residential street.
"Some guy in a big Hummer almost hit me. You can't say that's good," he said. "Why don't they just slow down. I just thought, 'Oh God, he almost hit me.'"
Taylor said she understands it will take Winnipeggers some time to get used to traffic circles, but stressed drivers need to pay more attention when they get behind the wheel.
"When I grew up there were no traffic circles, so I'm learning as I go," she said.
"The (Roch and Leighton Avenue circle) seems to be worse than others, and I think honestly it's because this is a busier intersection. You see people just zipping by."
A City of Winnipeg spokeswoman said the city is working with Manitoba Public Insurance to ensure drivers are aware of the proper use of the circles.
"The city works with MPI, the entity charged with driver education, to make sure that they have the most recent information about traffic issues so that they can update their driver education programs," Tammy Melesko said.
"There is also information on the city's website."
The city's website indicates drivers should remember the following when approaching a traffic circle:
• slow your speed when approaching the intersection
• stop in advance of the sidewalk if pedestrians are crossing
• yield to vehicles that arrive first at the intersection
• yield to vehicles on the right if arriving at the same time
• keep to the right and travel around the traffic circle in a counterclockwise direction

Recipes (Conversation)
I started a recipe thread over on the 'Conversation' side. I started it off with a couple scone recipes. Everyone knows food tastes better in a small house!
Jay, I just discovered THE greatest apple pie recipe in the world! It started from an excellent recipe already, I just tweaked it till I thought it was perfect...you will NOT regret trying this pie :)
ready-made crusts, top and bottom (or pastry recipe)
1/3 cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
6 Apples - peeled, cored and sliced
2 tbs apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature and let simmer. Keep stirring so it doesn't seize up.
Mix sliced apples with vinegar and cinnamon. Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with apples, mounded slightly. Cover with a lattice work of crust. Gently pour the sugar and butter liquid over the crust. Pour slowly so that it does not run off.
Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 25 to 30 minutes, just before apples are soft.
eat hot! yummy yum :)

Govt should announce date for hanging Afzal Guru: BJP Last Updated : 13 Dec 2012 01:00:53 PM IST File Photo
On the eleventh anniversary of Parliament attack, BJP on Thursday said the government should announce the date for hanging convict Afzal Guru itself to pay "real tribute" to the martyrs of the strike.
"Real tribute would be only if the Home Minister assures the House today that we have paid tributes to the martyrs but their families and country will get relief only when he (Guru) would be hanged.
"If they fix a date (for hanging Guru) and announce it today, this would be the real tribute to these martyrs," the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said inside Parliament House complex.
She was talking to reporters soon after paying homage to the nine martyrs of the 2001 Parliament attack.
Swaraj said every year the country pays homage to these martyrs. "But one question is still unanswered that the attacker who has been twice or thrice sentenced to death by the Supreme Court, why has he not been hanged so far?"
She said after the hanging of 26/11 Mumbai terror convict Ajmal Kasab, "hope has increased that the government will show courage to do what it has not done so far."
Minister of State for Home R P N Singh criticised Swaraj for making the demand, saying the occasion should not be politicised.
"We have just paid tributes to those martyrs. I think it is extremly unfortunate that the moment we get away from there, we get into politics... I think to politicise this thing on every December 13, is not paying real homage to martyrs of this country," he said.
Singh said matters related to hanging convicts are not dealt by Parliament and are handled by the courts.
"There is a process that has been explained by Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde. He has said the file is lying with him and he will look at it and make notings after the Parliament session," he said.
Commute Afzal Guru's death sentence to life imprisonment: Beni
On the other hand, Union Minister Beni Prasad Verma advocated that Afzal Guru's death sentence should be commuted to life imprisonment.
He accused BJP of playing communal politics by demanding execution of Guru.
Earlier, MPs paid tributes to the deadliest attack on Indian Parliament on December 13, 2001.
Afzal Guru was sentenced to death on December 18, 2002, by a trial court, which was upheld by the Delhi High Court on October 29, 2003.
His appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court on August 4, 2005. His mercy plea is pending and Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde has said he will study the file after Parliament's winter session ends on December 22.
On 13th December 2001, five gunmen infiltrated the Parliament House with Home Ministry and Parliament labels.
The five gunmen, believed to be from Lashkar-e-Taiba terror group, entered the Parliament complex at 11:30 am. They opened incessant firing before entering the Parliament building after being challenged by the security guards. All five gunmen died on the spot. Several security men died during the firing session while several others got seriously injured.
Meanwhile, the families of martyrs have appealed to the government to carry out death sentence on Afzal Guru, jailed for his role as one of the masterminds in the conspiracy.

If you can't find that, get with a friend who knows how to ride well and work with that friend on enhancing your skills. Have them watch you braking and turning and such.
And then for yourself, go practice things. Every time you ride. Personally, I pick a subject for each ride, and work on it during each ride. What I work on varies with each ride and what I think I need to improve the most.
I might have missed it but I didn't see a response from you to foxtrapper's suggestion especially the first and third part.
Those two make a lot of sense to me. I don't think that you need a lot of improvement, just some fine tuning.

With the Browns picking Trent Richardson as the number 3 pick in the 2012 NFL draft many thought the man from Alabama would come into Cleveland and lead the NFL in rushing yards. It did happen that way exactly and T-Rich had to play through some injuries. Now that the Browns changed their coaching staff and brought in Norv Turner to run the Cleveland offense, many are thinking the Browns will come out in 2013 and air it out on every play. No So. Turner has a history of using the running back to produce positive results.
How positive was the running game in Turner's past? Very positive. 3 times running backs have led the NFL in rushing while working with Norv Turner. Emmitt Smith did it from 1991-93 when Turner was the O.C. in Dallas and this was a team that Turner did some of his best work as an O.C. for. Then there was Ricky Williams did it in 2002 who was in Miami, yes there was a time Williams could run in the NFL when he wasn't high on pot. Turner had one more running back that tore it up in the NFL too, LaDainian Tomlinson also did it in 2007.
Now I am not saying that T-Rich is any of those 3 players. I am saying he should get his chance to showcase his talents in the NFL this season. The Browns should use the running game under Norv Turner very effectively. If T-Rich can stay healthy in 2013, he should get the bulk of the work. Don't just expect giant pass plays from the Browns in 2013. Turner also likes to run the ball and in 2013 we will see just how great Trent Richardson can be.
I think the 2013 season will decide if the Browns running back Trent Richardson's name belongs in the same sentence as LaDainian Tomlinson ,Emmitt Smith and Ricky Williams. He should have a big season.

good article LG … i would imagine t-rich will easily be in the top-10 in rushing this year … especially if they go out & get a hard-nosed FB to lead the way as you mentioned before.
I'm not sure what to expect from Richardson. The Browns rush offense from this year only outgained the previous years running game by not even 100 yards.
I know he was injured from part of the season. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
good artical LG, i'd like to see Richardson have a break out year. what are your thoughts on Hardesty? last season it looked like he could find the gap in the line (what few there was) better then T-Rich was able to. do you think they could go with both backs? Mack & Byner was awsome to watch!
LG, I agree but I think what hurt Hardesty's chances was the fumble problems in the preseason,other than that he looked pretty good.
LG, i agree and think they wuold be a hard combo to stop. Hardesty looked stronge when he carried the ball.
LG, no Rick is my brother and a long time Browns fan like me.
LG, we post from the same place during the day. and don't always have time to leave coments.
Hardesty would be a good second back if he can hang on to the ball. Another candidate that should get consideration (especially in 3rd down situations) is Ogbonnaya (sp?). I thought Obi looked good when he was out there. As for FB, I think Smelley deserves a shot (he started for Saban and blocked for T-Rich in 'Bama, he can't be too bad, right?)
