I have lived here for a year and really like it. Crystal (current property manager) worked with me on my rent price so I could afford to extend my lease for another year. Maintenance is prompt, usually same day, and friendly. My neighbors are quiet and even though I see kids at the pool or playground, I never hear them when I'm in my apartment. The apartment is on the pricey side, but for me it is worth it for the location, higher-end appliances, privacy, and above all quiet. The fitness center is really nice and well-equipped. The only real problem I have with the complex is parking in the evenings. I usually end up parking at the back of the complex and walking if I get back after 7-8 pm. Also, you can't opt out of the concierge service, which I have literally never used and never will use, but still pay for.

I will now seek Greystar complexes out after my experience with Erika, Daisy and the Plantation. This is a corporation with a heart, a beautiful complex filled with amenities, and are a great place to make your home. My elderly parents were living in the Plantation when my father passed of a sudden onset of Leukemia. Greystar had caring options to help with the difficult transition of breaking the lease and moving my mother back to Oklahoma. Many management companies would have caked on the penalties for breaking a lease regardless of the reason. Not at the Plantation, the staff went above and beyond helping my family during this difficult time. They quickly remodeled and re-leased the apartment saving my widowed mother thousands she could not afford. Erika and Daisy exemplified outstanding customer service. I was a licensed Real Estate Agent in Oklahoma and the General Manager of a seven figure management company. I specialized in Rental and leasing for over a decade. This is not a typical complex, it is well above the average. This is a well run complex with a staff that truly cares and tenants that smile in appreciation.

I was at the Plantation from July through January, and honestly I had enough. I basically stayed with my girlfriend through the end of April because I couldn't stand the thought of staying at the Plantation. I have never written a review but I don't think the Plantation truly anything special. It's gated but it DOESN'T MATTER. Two days before Christmas all four of my tires on my new truck were stolen. The Office said that they didn't have adequate security technology to capture what happened. And there were 60 cars that entered, exited the night of the event. Needless to say, you lose piece of mind after you get to your car at 6am for a 7am conference call and your vehicle is on blocks. What good is a gated community when anyone can get in' There are hundreds of residents and some of those friends know the code to get in. Or you can just wait for someone to go into the complex and anyone can literally follow you in. For all my troubles the Plantation wanted me to ask where to get quotes for a new security system, and gave me half of my deductible. Oh gee, thanks! The 2nd in command saw me coming asking for any information and suddenly I became her problem. God forbid someone tries to help. Anyways, long story short, why pay the premium for a "premium" community' Their water bill is insanely high, which also pays for the concierge service. Parking is kind of limited if you get back after 8pm. Noise was ok, its better than other places I have been. I think I alluded to safety above and what I thought about it. I don't think their gates are for anything useful. Construction seemed solid. Maintenance was good. The front office staff turnover was a bit extreme. It was like there was 3 different waves of employees within 6 months. Oh and their are some cool programs. One of them for instance was a drawing for $50 off rent if you came onto these types of websites and wrote a positive review. Just throwing that out there

IMy family was transferred here and honestly, we leased the apartment over the internet based on the website (which is beautiful and full of information by the way). The lady we dealt with was extremely helpful and made sure we had all of the information necessary to make a comfortable move. She even sent me information on local daycares after I mentioned I had a 14 month old daughter. She put me in touch with their concierge company to help me with some various things on my to do list who also came and sat in my apartment and waiting on the cable guy for 4 hours so I wouldn't have to leave work!!! They have a playground and a kids pool and seem to have some kind of event going on several times a week. The property is beautiful and always perfectly clean. I can't say enough about my experience here. Our home purchase has been put on hold since we may be transferred again (ugh!) but I'm perfectly fine with that since we are comfortable and Love Love Love it here!!!

Why Ben Nelson Voted NoApril 26, 2010 - by Donny Shaw
Sen. Ben Nelson [D, NE] surprised just about everyone when he voted "no" Monday evening on beginning debate of the Democrats' financial reform bill. Immediately, speculation began circulating that he voted against the bill to curry favor with legendary investor Warren Buffet, a constituent, who had a regulatory exemption he supported for existing derivative contracts removed from the bill just one day prior.
The jury's still out on that. Nelson hasn't admitted to protecting Warren Buffet's interests. Instead, he issued a confounding statement on his vote that begins like this:Read Full Article Comments (5)

A look at San Diego from the beach. Relatively free from smog and overbuilt freeways, San Diego, set around a gracefully curving bay, is the second most-populous city in California affluent and libertarian, but also easygoing and friendly. Although it was the site of the first mission in California, the city only really took off with the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1880s, and has long been in the shadow of Los Angeles. However, during World War II the US Navy made San Diego its Pacific Command Center, and the military continues to dominate the local economy, alongside tourism. Understandably, the long white beaches, sunny weather, and bronzed bodies give rise to the city's well-deserved nickname, "Sandy Ego.

Hot off his second career Red Bull X-Fighters contest in Dubai last month, Red Bull rookie Lance Coury has been staying busy both on the bike and off. One of the few FMX riders to start their own moto-related company, Coury is the latest to take a stab at the good ole' American dream with his new product, the Moto-Gate.
The Moto-Gate is a simple concoction from Coury's brain, made up of two motorcycle tie downs linked by a net that is meant to strap across a pickup truck's bed to prevent contents like gas cans, bike stands and gear bags from falling out while en route. The idea is simple, but the product has been getting rave reviews from top riders and media outlets. Whether or not they've been paid to endorse the Moto-Gate is beyond us, but open up any magazine and you'll see it gracing their pages in one way or another. Maybe Coury has a career in marketing and promotion when his riding career is over, huh?

It's been a while since I last posted. Got BG fitted and upgraded a few bits.
2012 Breezer Venturi ("D'Fusion" hydroformed steel) frame
2013 SRAM Force crank, RD and shifters
2013 SRAM Red Yaw FD
Bontrager Race Lite TLR wheels and R3 TLR tires, set up tubeless
KMC X10SL gold chain
Yokozuna Reaction cable set
I'm thinking about installing the trick Switch Aero seatpost and a set of clip-on aero bars, as well as possibly upgrading the crank for DA-9000 with Stages power meter arm, but need to save up for it.
Attachment 358617
Please don't mind the ghetto rear wheel in the pic: I shot this with the indoor trainer wheel & tire mounted.
After some issues with a couple of different LBS trying to tune the FD, I decided to just spend a couple of hours myself and learned how to get the Red Yaw FD to work flawlessly on my bike. Shifts with authority now, way better than the Force FD!

Not completely done the way I want it yet, but enough for me to start riding! What do you guys think?
Giant Defy Dura Ace : Rip/Hammer-Specialized Allez Ultegra/105 : Recovery/Spinner-Specialized Allez Red : Trainer-Kona Major(Rad) Jake : Down & Dirty
I did raise the saddle 1/2", but it's doesn't make a whole lot of an aesthetic difference. That's the problem with being so freakishly short, all bikes are big for me. My Scott Addict is the smallest they have, 47cm. I have seen a professional fitter before and he suggested that I get a custom bike. That would be nice, but I'll have to continue saving my lunch money!
I wasn't really commenting on the aesthetics of your bike. It looks great to me to be honest.
Fit it important to be able to recruit the muscle needed @ certain times. You might not be able to get into much of an aero position but thats not a big deal if your not racing.
47cm is small, but if you look harder you can find smaller.
I've seen 44cms around.(probably too small)
Have you considered WSD's, or Junior frames?
Giant Defy Dura Ace : Rip/Hammer-Specialized Allez Ultegra/105 : Recovery/Spinner-Specialized Allez Red : Trainer-Kona Major(Rad) Jake : Down & Dirty
Ghost rider: I did try a Cannondale and Specialized WSD, but I really did not enjoy them. It was a noticeable difference climbing up the hills especially. Enough so, that even though the geometry felt fine, the bike just didn't feel appropriate. My Pinarello feels great, but then again, so does the Scott. The effective top tube is 1cm longer on the Scott, compared to the Pinarello.
Thanks for your feedback!
Picked up this 1999 Raleigh R600 over the weekend.

text: I seriously dont understand people now a days. I think all of this is money hungry and specially this man. Funny how this man is running in a residential area and if he had wittnessed a kid getting runned over, his complaint would have been that they are always speeding and there is never a police unit there to slow traffic down. Maybe him being taken to jail for that was a little to much but then again, what hes still doing right now shows how bright he is thinking his case is going somewhere

ALBANY — Officials with Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany told Dougherty County commissioners Monday the base is continuing its ongoing efforts to set national standards for clean, renewable energy at all U.S. military installations.
Fred Broome, director of the base's Installation and Environment Division, told commissioners the joint MCLB/Dougherty County landfill gas-to-energy project had recently received the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star combined heat and power award. The recognition has become commonplace for the base, which has received six other awards, including accolades from the Department of Energy and the U.S. Navy.
"We're proud of this recognition, but we're not done," Broome said. "We've purchased a second landfill gas generator and will begin installation soon, and we're working with Procter & Gamble on another partnership that will impact the base. These projects save the federal government money, it moves us toward getting off fossil fuels and it fosters strong ties within the community."
District 6 Commissioner Jack Stone offered a comment that Broome said was another important element of the success of the clean energy efforts at the base.
"When (the Federal government) starts talking about base closings, be sure and send them a copy of this (information)," Stone said.
Commission Chairman Jeff Sinyard lauded base leadership for its clean energy efforts.
"When that second generator is installed, it will help pull 30 percent of the base's electricity," Sinyard said. "It makes a huge difference (with federal officials) when you go way, way, way beyond what anyone else is doing."
The commission got more good news at its work session when Mauldin and Jenkins CPA firm senior manager Craig Moye told the board it had received a "great audit" for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2013.
"We have issued an unmodified audit report, a 'clean opinion,'" Moye told the board.
The CPA firm senior manager noted that the board had under spent its budget by around $2.7 million and added some $3.5 million to its fund balance.
"This is (county finance director) Martha's (Hendley) first year of working with us on this audit, and she and her staff did a great job," Moye said. "The 'findings' we cite have to do with reporting of your judicial finances, and we're aware that there's not much you can do there.
"All-in-all, this was a great audit report."
In a report presented by Public Works Director Larry Cook, the commission learned that, among other accomplishments, the department had cleaned 84 acres of canals during 2013, had cleared 4.1 tons of litter from county property and had completed 615 miles of right-of-way mowing. The department's 49 employees had also had a hand, through their environmental control efforts, in helping keep the county free of reported West Nile virus cases.
"Our folks are pretty much unheralded, but we're proud of all they do," Cook told the board. He also recognized Public Works' Employee of the Year, heavy equipment operator Robert "Jack" Loud, and Supervisor of the Year, stormwater technician Jason Hillhouse.
The commission also discussed a change order that would allow Jim Boyd Construction to extend storm drainage improvements on Holly Drive for another 700 feet. County Administrator Richard Crowdis said the bid on the project, which got under way Monday, came in significantly lower than projected costs. Thus, more than $100,000 in funding would be available to extend the project.
Boyd officials told the county that extending the drainage and elevation of Holly Drive all the way to Tarasavage Road would cost an additional $57,458.
"If you approve this measure, we can do continuously what we were going to have to eventually do anyway," Crowdis said.
The commission will vote on the matter at its business meeting next Monday.

A growing number of Americans are skipping needed medical care because they can't afford it, according to a recent study released by Commonwealth Fund's Biennial Health Insurance.
Take a look at how many Americans can't afford health care and the reasons why, by the numbers.
53 million - The number of working-age adults in 2012 who didn't visit a doctor because of cost.
50 million - The number of working-age adults in 2012 who didn't fill a prescription because of cost.
49 million - The number of working-age adults in 2012 who skipped recommended care because of cost.
28% - The percentage of working-age adults with good insurance who still had to forgo treatment because of the price.
28% - The percentage of those with a chronic condition like hypertension, diabetes, heart disease and asthma who needed medication, but didn't fill prescriptions or skipped doses because they couldn't afford to pay for the drugs.
25% - The percentage of Americans with deductibles greater than $1,000. This number more than tripled between 2003 and 2012.
84 million - The number of people who went without health insurance for a time last year or had such high out-of-pocket expenses relative to their income that they were considered under-insured.
41% - The percentage of young adults, those ages 19 to 25, who were uninsured in 2012. This number is down from 48% two years earlier, due in large part to the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, which allows young adults to stay on their parents insurance until age 26.
2014 - The year more health reform is expected to take effect. These are primarily the state-based insurance exchanges, which are intended to offer affordable plans to those without work-based coverage.
40% - The maximum percentage of total medical expenses insured patients will be required to pay through the Affordable Care Act.

The newest restaurant in Temecula, Corner Bakery, is a hit. The fast casual restaurant opened its doors this month where the old Original Road House Grill once stood with lines of customers going out the door at peak times.
When you walk into the restaurant the brick walls and dark woods welcome you like an old neighborhood pub. The feel is open. But with a mix of booths, tables and a community hub spot you can be as social or private as you like while dining. On the walls the photographs have scenes of the local community, creating a look that's traditional and familiar yet simultaneously modern.

Mercy Corps in the news
Peace Corps turns fifty
March 1, 2011 will mark fifty years since President John F. Kennedy signed an executive order establishing the Peace Corps. Since then more than 200,000 volunteers have served in 139 countries. Over 13,000 of them have come from Oregon and Washington.
Giving the world's young the future they deserve
Young people represent promise. As a parent, I often look at my children and wonder: What will they make of their lives? How can I help them achieve their potential? As the chief executive of Mercy Corps, I look at young people in the world's poorest, most desperate places and ask the same questions.
How Rajiv Shah can buck the system: 5 tips from the frontlines of conflict and development
With fragile states increasingly constituting first-tier US foreign policy priorities and global development funding being targeted by budget hawks in Congress, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah is making the case for his agency's relevance in the 21st century. Quoting Defense Secretary Gates' observation that "development is a lot cheaper than sending soldiers", Administrator Shah argued that USAID's work serves to stabilize countries in crisis while also helping to prevent conflict from arising in the first place.
Haiti: How tech is helping the Haiti recovery
Jokebed Auguste, a 31-year-old single mother from Mirebalais, in Haiti's Central Plateau, has come to see her cell phone in a whole new light. A team leader in one of the cash-for-work programs run by the international relief agency Mercy Corps -- she oversaw 15 colleagues in an initiative to clean up roads and canals -- Auguste was among the first Haitians to begin receiving payments for the project directly through her phone. The convenience of the T-Cash system means she doesn't have to stand in line for hours at the bank, but even more important is the security.
Haiti: In Haiti, cell phones serve as debit cards
The past year in Haiti has been marked by the slow pace of the earthquake recovery. But the poorest nation in the hemisphere is moving quickly on something else — setting up "mobile money" networks to allow cell phones to serve as debit cards. The systems have the potential to allow Haitians to receive remittances from abroad, send cash to relatives across town or across the country, buy groceries and even pay for a bus ride all with a few taps on their cell phones.
Preparing for disasters
Over the last year it's been hard to miss the images of disaster-struck families on TV and in the papers, whether from the earthquake in Haiti or the floods in Pakistan. We all want to help where we can, but in the wake of the recession, rather than just reacting to disasters shouldn't we take a tip from the Scouts and help these communities "be prepared" in the first place?
Haiti: Haiti survivors 1 year later
In the year since a devastating earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, reconstruction has been a slow and frustrating process. Bill Whitaker speaks to Lisa Hoashi of Mercy Corps and reports on the strength of Haiti's survivors.
Haiti: Can cell phones rescue Haiti?
When I visited Haiti in November, I saw one of the most effective weapons in the fight against poverty -- an intervention that may well be the key to Haiti's long-term recovery. It wasn't a doctor combating cholera, a new shelter for the homeless, or food being distributed to hungry families. It was a cell phone.
Haiti: Cell phones key to commerce in post-quake Haiti
Two of Haiti's biggest cell phone companies are working with aid groups to help cash-strapped Haitians purchase goods using 'mobile money'. Donated funds are transferred to residents' cell phones and then traded in at local shops for food. Associated Press TV speaks to Raymond Chevalier of Mercy Corps, on the aid agency's 'mobile wallet' initiative.
Haiti: Mobile banking: a new way of doing business in Haiti

Sardine cans, buckets of rice, jars of cooking oil and stacks of empty Coca-Cola bottles fill her shelves — along with a glaring reminder that she, like Haiti, remains in the financial dark ages.

Review: Bistro du Vin
Most Popular
1D Davis Street, Kennedy Town
Tel: 2824 3010
Open: noon-2pm (closed for lunch on Tuesdays), 6pm-10pm
Cuisine: French
Price: about HK$400 for a three-course meal without drinks or the service charge.
Ambience: the space is long and narrow but it doesn't feel claustrophobic because of the high ceiling. Tables are close together so don't come here if you want a private conversation. The walls are covered with vintage-looking French signs, posters and knick-knacks.
Pros: we liked most of our dishes, and portion sizes are generous. There are hooks under the table for handbags. The menu is brief, listing many classic French dishes such as escargots, duck confit and bouillabaisse for two.
Cons: the only real complaint is that my guest, who asked for a kir that was "not too pink", was served one that was very pink - it had too much cassis.
Recommended dishes: the brandade (HK$95) with house-made salted cod was piled high on a slice of bread. The potato and salted cod mixture, flecked with chopped parsley, was nicely balanced and didn't need the runny-yolk egg or the hollandaise served with it. The charcuterie platter of house-made rillettes, thinly sliced sausage and a thick slice of pâté were varied and delicious, although crunchy crusted plain white bread to eat with the meats would have been better than the sliced bread served to every table. The suckling pig confit (HK$230 for a leg, HK$210 for the belly) had been poached in fat before being baked to crisp the skin. The meat was wonderfully succulent. Some people might have an issue with the thin layer of fat under the skin, but they probably shouldn't order this dish anyway. The skin looked undercooked, but when it was cut, it was delicately crisp.
What else? Bistro du Vin is operated by the Singapore-based Les Amis group, which also has Cepage in Wan Chai and the Piccolo pizzerias.

The rate of decline in physical ability depends upon both fitness level and lifestyle. Frequent dieting has also been shown to affect the metabolic rate as well, and not in a good way. People who diet frequently actually have a significant metabolic decline, so dieting (especially crash diets) may actually make it more difficult to get rid of that belly fat or lose those love handles.
Unfortunately, there is no age-related appetite decline. Most people continue to consume the same amount of calories that they did 20 years ago, but have become more sedentary, resulting

VIEWS: 132 PAGES: 6 CATEGORY: Childrens Literature POSTED ON: 12/5/2009
UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN Department of Student Affairs Disability Service Progress Report 2006 All documentation produced by the Disability Service is available in enlarged text, audio, Braille and e-text on request VISION To ensure that the influence of the UCT Disability Service is exercised in a manner which will enhance the reputation and standing of UCT and the Disability Service both within UCT and at Universities and organisations world-wide. To establish a human rights culture at UCT with a special emphasis on disability. To act within the University structure, providing advice and support both in terms of harnessing mainstream capabilities for the accommodation of people with disabilities, as well as providing specialist services where mainstreaming is not possible. To provide academically deserving disabled people with the opportunity for a fair and equal educational and work experience. DELIVERABLES To provide UCT with the knowledge base to react with sensitivity and insight to the need for accommodation of disability. To provide UCT with the necessary guidance in developing or establishing cost-effective infrastructure, which meets the needs of disabled staff and students. To ensure that this is done, to the greatest possible extent, through the harnessing of mainstream university facilities and activities, but where reasonable accommodation of disabled staff and students is not possible in the mainstream environment, to ensure that such reasonable accommodations are provided for via Disability Service specialist facilities and services. In this way the Disability Service is the sounding board, knowledge base and benchmark which deliver to the University the capacity to interact appropriately with students, staff, prospective students and visitors with disabilities. SOME NEW INITIATIVES 1. Assisted Listening Students with hearing impairments has been a group which until recently has been under-represented and underserved at UCT. We were determined to build on the modest foundation we laid in 2005 when we provided Sign interpreting services for two Deaf students who had enrolled in the Adult Education Masters offered in the Centre for Higher Education Development (CHED). Although there are currently no students registered at UCT who use South African Sign Language (SASL) we do have several students with hearing impairments and that seemed like a good place to start. We paid a visit to the Ear Institute in Pretoria during February this year and we were extremely excited about the FM transmission technology which we saw working in Eduplex, a mainstream educational setting specialising in integrating children with hearing impairments. We are still very keen to install this equipment when we find candidates for whom it will be of benefit. It is important to bear in mind though that in order to benefit from this technology one needs to be in possession of a relatively sophisticated hearing aid. We would therefore be duty bound to ensure that users of this system could also be sure of having access to suitable hearing aids. We may well need to appeal to our generous donors in this regard when the occasion arises. In the mean time we have laid sound foundations towards being able in the near future to accommodate Deaf students whose first language is SASL. 2. Deaf Awareness Presentations An absolute find in this regard was the addition of Emma Coop to our student body. Emma is a doctoral student with a hearing impairment, who also happens to be an ace presenter of seminars on Deaf culture and a born teacher. An enthusiastic audience of students and staff responded warmly to a Deaf Awareness presentation by Emma. It was practical and interactive with audience members soon following Emma's lead in signing the alphabet. After learning some of the Deaf do's and don'ts the audience had the opportunity to sign up for the South African Sign Language classes which the Disability Service will be offering under Emma's capable leadership to staff and students at UCT in 2007. Over 200 people have thus far signed up for these. 3. Ikhaya Dayhouse As this report goes to press, we are putting the final touches to the Ikhaya Dayhouse for students with disabilities. Do they need a separate facility? Couldn't they use the bigger mainstream student Dayhouse? Of course they can, and will be encouraged to do so. Even so, sometimes it is nice to know there is a place where you can go to make yourself a coffee and warm up your lunch in a fully wheelchair accessible kitchenette - put your books and other possessions in a locker so you don't have to schlep them round all day, maybe do some work, watch a video, even lie down - just chill out in a space where it is okay for a short while to, if you like, just be disabled. Of course you should rejoin the hustle and bustle, go to classes, go to the library, get involved in whatever university life has to offer. But when it all gets just a little too much, there is a space where you can duck out for just a little while, and interestingly enough, get to know other students with disabilities. Because contrary to what you might imagine, students with disabilities do not naturally seek each other out. 4. Research-related logistical support Below are some of the eminently deserving requests we have responded to in 2006: * A doctoral student doing groundbreaking research on the law in South Africa as it pertains to victims of abuse is someone with a learning disability with particular problems related to memory processing needed to have research interviews transcribed. The nature of his disability specifically made that part of the work around his research at worst impossible, and at best very difficult, and by no means the best use of his research time and skills. * Another student who plans to register for a doctoral degree in Philosophy and who was described to me recently by one of the students in her tutorial group as "a damn good tutor" (a rare accolade I suspect) was provided with a computer with screen reading software in her office in the Philosophy department. HIGH ACHIEVER PROFILE I have decided to depart somewhat from the format of previous reports and include a high achiever profile. On the one hand one hesitates to do this, because it is the Disability Service's achievements and progress that is primarily highlighted in this report, and we should take infinite care not to imply that we deserve some of the credit when students with disabilities achieve exceptional results. Rather we are wanting to say that if a student can do this, then surely it behoves us to work even harder, to be even more committed to build that ramp – to install that lift, to buy that special piece of software that will just make things possible, never mind easy. And no student underscores this fact better than Tristan Gorgens. In October 2003 almost at the end of his second year at varsity, one week before exams were to begin and very shortly after he had been elected as SHAWCO (Student Health and Welfare Centres Organisation) President, Tristan dived into what appeared to be deep water off Clifton beach, and hit a sandbank. He sustained very serious neck injuries and now lives with quadriplegia. But here's the thing. Barely three months after Tristan sustained what really were life threatening injuries, he wrote all the exams he had prepared for the previous October and passed them all. He dictated his answers into a tape recorder, because they had to be marked by several members of staff, some who were out of the country. Tristan recalls swotting for these exams lying in bed in the living room of his parents' home, with workers swarming around busy rebuilding parts of the house so he could access his upstairs bed-room. Because of the nature of the work of SHAWCO Tristan had to be replaced as president, but by March of 2004, very, very shortly after being discharged from hospital, he was back on campus attending SHAWCO meetings as a board member and taking on his full share of responsibility. It is hard to exaggerate just how unusual and courageous this is. When one sustains a serious injury of the spinal cord at cervical level it is not only that your arms and legs don't work any more. Your organs, the biological systems that keep you alive, are severely compromised, and often take months, even years to normalise and readjust. You have to contend with life threatening plunges in blood pressure, and seriously impaired kidney and lung function. Tristan took only one year off from his studies for rehabilitation. In February 2005 he was back on campus full time taking a full course load and graduated at the end of that year with exceptional results. When I commented on how remarkable this was, Tristan answered: "the short turn-around time between my injury and my return (and much of my subsequent success) is due to the phenomenal support of my family. When I was in hospital I watched many people have family walk away from them or unable to support them and in South Africa, with the problems in our social security net, re-entering the world with a disability without the support of your family is extremely difficult. I am very thankful for the unerring support that I receive from my family." Tristan received the Student Affairs student leader award in 2004, and was awarded a Mandela-Rhodes scholarship when he graduated at the end of 2005. And he's done it again!. Tristan has graduated with a first class Honours in just one year. He has been awarded the Steve Biko scholarship to pursue post graduate studies in the field of Social Development. As a person with a disability myself, I am not easily impressed by ordinary disabled people doing fairly ordinary things. But I am truly in awe of this guy. Go Tristan! A CHAIR TO STAND IN Thanks to one of our generous donors we were able to purchase a special hydraulic "standing" chair for Ronald Mothelisi, a wheelchair user, who is in his fourth year of his MBChB degree. This chair enables Ronald to "stand" up so that he is at the "normal" height to work at operating and dissecting tables. Ronald is to our knowledge the first wheelchair user in South Africa to be admitted to a degree of medicine, although I understand that a few students who had been injured during their training had completed their degrees in the past. Ronald has done remarkably well throughout his studies. His lecturers have nothing but praise for his work, and all were delighted when it became apparent that the "standing" wheelchair was going to become a reality. DISABILITY AS A TRANSFORMATION ISSUE Great strides were made during the course of 2006 to get disability formally established on the University's transformation agenda, on an equal footing with its siblings gender and race. In many spheres of South African life there is a tendency to pay lip service to disability as a designated category along with race and gender, but in reality it has emerged over and over again as very much the runt of the litter. The UCT Executive is to be commended for its determination that this will not be the case at UCT from now on. An example of the extent to which the University has made good on this resolution is that Mike Watermeyer whom many of you will remember as the Disability Unit's previous Director was appointed as Faculty Manager in the Law Faculty commencing 1 October 2006. Appointing a totally blind person as a senior administrator in an extremely high-pressure environment required an act of faith. I have no doubt that Mike will live up to and exceed those expectations. EMPLOYMENT EQUITY As part of a strategy to raise UCT's employment equity profile of people with disabilities, the Disability Service has laid the groundwork for establishing a national database of graduates with disabilities, so that talented PWD's can be identified and encouraged to apply for jobs whose requirements match their skill sets. We are also working on our own code of good practice for the recruitment, appointment and advancement of people with disabilities. We have also formed a Disability Advisory group whose remit will include strengthening the Disability Service's transformation mandate, and to assist in the formulation and implementation of policies and procedures intended to advance the opportunities for work and study at UCT. TEXT CONVERSION AND ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY SERVICES November 2005 saw the successful graduation of two senior blind students, Phandle Phandle and Siphiwe Mashawu. Assistive technology was invaluable in facilitating their academic success. The range of services offered to students with disabilities was enhanced in 2006 by the addition of an electronic desktop magnifier to assist visually impaired students. We also acquired a five-licence version of special scanning software to afford blind and visually impaired users full access to scanning facilities in our Student Computer Lab. A standing desk/podium and a bed were purchased to assist students with serious back injuries, or those who are unable to write tests and exams sitting up for long periods of time. The power crisis in the Western Cape earlier this year also prompted us to purchase three laptops as a safeguard against power outages during the exams. They have also proved very useful as they provide more scope and flexibility to accommodate students who cannot write in the normal exam venues. The scope of our service to students with disabilities writing tests and exams continues to grow and expand. In the 4 years from October 2002 to October 2006, a total of 722 tests and exams have been written at the Disability Service, by students with disabilities ranging from blindness, schizophrenia, quadriplegia and epilepsy, to handwriting disabilities, broken arms, and dyslexia. We believe that the provision of a safe space with individual attention and specialised accommodations has contributed to the continuing success of these students. We also assisted the Alternative Admissions Research Project (AARP) with the conversion of the entrance exams into braille and alternative format for students with disabilities hoping to enter UCT in 2007. Supervision and invigilation of these exams is also provided by the Disability Service. Our volunteer programme continued in 2006, and we thank our dedicated and enthusiastic student volunteers for their support. THE RESOURCE CENTRE Our Resource Centre continued to expand and we added a total of 68 books and 7 DVDs to our collection of resources on disability-related issues. We also launched a project this year to try to collect in one easily accessible place copies of the research in the field which has been done in this country. There is a surprising amount of it, but it is not usually easy to find, scattered as it is in small branch libraries all over the peninsula! We have thus far gathered 25 copies of dissertations in the field of disability. NEW WOMEN'S RESIDENCE In 2007 the new Graça Machel women's residence will be opening its doors for the first time. It boasts four fully accessible wheelchair rooms with bathrooms. Our measurable progress in pushing the barrier free access envelope has been less than we might have wished, but a lot of planning and lobbying has been happening and we are hoping to come up with firm policies and procedures to accelerate the pace of this part of our work. Due to the ongoing restructuring in the Department of Student Affairs our physical access portfolio has been vacant since Cindy Watermeyer left us in October of 2005. We are hopeful that this matter will be resolved soon. In the mean time we have not been idle. During November to January 2005-2006 we conducted a comprehensive access audit of lecture venues. This has greatly assisted the staff responsible for assigning lecture venues. As a result we had no last minute requests for venue changes as a result of courses in which there were students in wheelchairs having been located in inaccessible venues. We contracted with Disability Solutions, who have submitted plans for significant alterations to at least three of our buildings, and we hope to have tangible proof of our joint efforts by the time you read our next report. We also see our collaboration with Disability Solutions as a fruitful one in terms of specialised skills transfer and training for Disability Service staff. This will become vital once new posts are filled as restructuring unfolds. STUDENT RECRUITMENT We visited several schools in the peninsula, among them, the Athlone School for the Blind in Bellville South and Vista Nova school in Pinelands. We hope next year to expand this project and visit several more schools in the Western Cape including the three schools for the Deaf. OUTREACH PROJECT In May 2006 The Disability Service and SHAWCO teamed up to provide assistance to the Golden Girls Disabled children's home in Langa. The Disability Service had a few very small wheelchairs that had been used in disability awareness programmes. They were not suitable for its adult users, but the many children at Golden Girls could benefit enormously from them. Golden Girls cares for about 50 children with disabilities. SHAWCO students visit the children to help with occupational therapy and physiotherapy each week. Reinette Popplestone Manager: Disability Service Phone: 021-650 5090 firstname.lastname@example.com

The Arrest and Trial of Jesus

"Between heresy and schism there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church."

The apartment was very comfortable, quiet and well located near the train station and the city center. The neighborhood appeared friendly and safe. There are many shops just a short walk away. It was also easily accessible, even for my dad who has reduced mobility. The apartment is equipped well enough for cooking a meal. It has a bathroom and a shower room which made it perfect for two couples staying.
We were welcomed by Sean who was lovely and answered any questions we had about the city.

Life lived in chaos, is life lived well. Change challenges us to change even if we don't want to. Whoever came up with the statement that change is good, hasn't had to deal with the repercussions very often. They were delusional. Sometimes we choose change because we knew what we were doing was no longer working. We didn't have a clue, so sometimes we asked someone else who didn't have a clue and tried something different anyway. Now if all this sounds familiar, its because I see all my friends falling of their resolution fence. I, on the other hand, don't make them. That way I don't set myself up for failure. Besides, I change things when I know I need to. And because I know I can follow the changes. :o)

Yeah, and there is that old Chinese proverb: 'May you live in interesting times.' Resolutions are for those who 'try', but as Yoda said, 'Don't try. Do!', and Picard said, 'Make it so.' Even in a spinning top, there are moments of wobbling before it finally falls over.. It is therefore considered as proof that an element of chaos is within the definition, 'All in the natural order of things.' Translation: Doo doo happens! Lol

Rose Pollination Question
I have a friend who thinks the wild roses on her property are 'ruining' her hybrid tea roses by pollinating them. I think she has suckers coming up from her rootstock. She says that because the wild roses are pollinating her tea roses the tea roses are now producing different looking flowers that resemble the wild roses. Upon further questioning she said the new roses were 'coming up' around her tea roses. I told her I'm almost certain that a plant cannot be genetically altered by being pollinated but she is convinced, and is threatening to tear out the well-established and beautiful wild roses growing near her home. She lives in France and I have never been there, let alone gardened there, but I'm still pretty sure those wild roses aren't hurting her tea roses.
Help me help her!
You are correct. "Wild rose pollen" pollinating her HTs and other roses will have no altering effects on her roses or we couldn't breed new roses because the pollen put ON the ones used as seed parents would change them. Perhaps you might use the analogy that her father "pollinating" her mother to produce her did not change her mother genetically. Neither will wild pollen change her planted roses. It's the same thing, sexual reproduction where sperm fertilizes eggs, resulting in either infants or seeds.
The possible explanations could be:
1. Her roses have root stock suckers emerging from below their bud unions, which may resemble 'wild roses' to her compared to what she has come to expect from her roses. These might actually be wild roses if her roses are budded on some wild rose used to provide the roots for her plants.
2. Seeds from the "wild roses" around her are blown in, washed in, bird-dropped in to where she has her roses planted and are germinating around her roses, where, probably, the soil is better amended and more water and fertilizer are used, making it more beneficial for them to germinate and grow.
3. If the wild roses are of a type which suckers, sends out under ground runners, they may have been drawn to the area because there is more water and other necessary resources. They could be suckering into her rose beds.
But, I promise, any wild rose pollen applied to her rose bushes will not alter them any further than creating hips, fruit, just as any wild pollen blown or brought to her apple trees will not change her apples to "wild types". Only the seedlings germinated from the resulting seed will be altered by the "wild roses". I hope it helps you explain to her what she's potentially seeing. Kim
I'm sorry Jimmy, that one I can't answer. You might want to read the thread about the Best Nursery for virus free plants at the link below to get more information about that question. Kim

STEM Expo April 22
This year's STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) Career Expo, organized by the Fermilab Education Office and local educators, will take place at Fermilab on Wednesday, Apr. 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 pm. If you would like to volunteer for Computing, please email Clemmie Jones by Monday, March 9. This is a very popular event, with over 800 local high school students and parents in attendance last year. You can read about the 2014 event here.
New Training Module: Scientific/Technical Publications
Did you know there is a new 20-minute online course to inform all those who do scientific or technical work at Fermilab or use Fermilab facilities about requirements and responsibilities regarding scientific and technical publications? You should!
Fermilab's status as a government contractor means there are mandatory rules, and so a course has been added to the ITNAs of scientific/technical workers to ensure understanding and compliance. Remember, "publication" can be broader than you think, including, for example, technical memos, conference reports and theses. If you have any questions about the course, please contact Heath O'Connell, head of Fermilab Information Resources.
Open Source & Technology Enthusiasts meeting Tuesday, March12, noon, Quarium (WH8SW). Meeting announcements and notes are sent to the linux-users listserv mailing list, so subscribe if you are interested.

More Halloween from Luvs #3
This bat sign and some small bats hang above the wide doorway from the kitchen to the family room--thought it was appropriate for the kitchen. LOL
These three signs are in the front yard in front of the patio planters.
This jack o lantern sits on the fire pit table, and another one with a black kitty sits on the patio table.
These signs were purchased, one at TPT and the other at Michael's on sale.
The next three pics are the top of a bookcase in my entry way.
Haven't put together a tablescape yet, just have a witch's hat on a pedestal stand on it right now, and the kitchen table just has a vase with clippings and flowers from my yard. I put a little DT witch's menu sign, a little wooden witch I painted and some little wooden ghosts on the kitchen counter but forgot to snap pics of them. I think I also only shared the scary little jack o lantern covered in cobwebs from my front window. Another time maybe. Hope this hasn't been pic overload for anyone.
That spider! What a kick! Do you have time to take a side shot of him? He's darling. Does he have wire coat hanger legs? More, more. Tell us more.
Luvs...I've enjoyed seeing Everything...not at all
'overloaded'. If you have more, please post them.
Such cute displays and so much 'you' in all your wonderful creations.
I really enjoy that part of your posts too.
That first sign between your Kitchen and FR is Hilarious!
You do have it in the 'right spot'!
Your outdoor signs must bring lots of smiles to all who see them. One cuter than the next.
Love the one you bought with the Witch Boots too.
I see you have 'my twin' sparkly cat. I like how he's displayed with the 'Boo' sign. It's the perfect touch for him.
Again, I enjoyed seeing all your decorations and creations, and thanks for the smiles they all brought to me.
Lady, you are on a roll here. I bet your little DGD is loving all the Halloween stuff too!
That kitchen bat sign made me laugh out loud. And you know I really luv the black kitty one in the second photo.
The crazy big spider is too funny.
(only thing I'll pass on is the Jack 'o Lanterns, LOL. I just can't get into those scary guys.)
Every time I see one of those black sparkly cats on here,
I regret not getting one. I was really dumb to get the purple one. He's still in the garage and not displayed.
hugs, Karen
Luvs, What a wonderful variety of things to look at! It's like shopping online! So hard to pick a favorite, but I sure like the witch shoes/boots. Very cute. I think you displays are just great. Looking forward to more pics. You are just an Art Machine!
Your tole painting projects are just out-of-this-world, luvs! You do such a great job! And what FUN stuff for celebrating the Halloween season!
I love the "Boo" blocks you created with the big HAPPY spider! Like OA, I would like to see more & instructions on the spider if you can share. Looks like you are using scrappin' paper on the blocks? I can just see that vignette sitting in the Youth Dept at our library! FUN! FUN! TFS everything...never "overload" for me, either! Glad the camera is bk in working order! Have fun with your GD with all your CUTE decor! Jeanne S.
Wish I could take credit for that spider--bought at a craft show many many years ago and one of my most favorite things. Sometimes I just see things that I can not resist especially if I know I will not be able to remember how to make one! I will take pics of him at all angles and post them in a bit. OA, the wire is thinner than a coat hanger, if you press on him, he "bounces" so the wire is flexible. Made of light weight wood too. Pics coming soon! ;o)
Jeanne, the blocks are just old 2x4's cut to various lengths on the "chop" saw. Give them a coat of paint and cut a piece of scrapbooking paper and Mod Podge to the front. If you didn't cut your paper just right, use a nail file or sandpaper and just gently sand the edges. You can hand cut letters out of cardstock or buy some at the craft store. And don't forget that you can make them reversible too--like "boo" on one side and "eek" on the other. Bet your DH even has some 2x4's laying around already!
Ladypat, I didn't make all these things THIS year! Many of the painted signs were from last year or prior. All the blocks were made this year however.
Karen and Frou, I made three of the punkins with the black kitty--neighbor has one and so does little GD--and this time I kept one for me. The pattern came from a book for making cookie jar lids!
Thanks to all of you for your nice comments, you sure know how to make someone feel good and I love you for it!
I'm still trying to catch up on all of the great Halloween posts here, Luvs, and almost missed this one! Wow, you have ~ and create!~ such wonderful decs. I LOVE the black kitty in the jack-o-lantern and all your signs, too. Love that "smell my feet" sign and your sweet green haired monster. Is your black cat new this year? I don't remember him from last year, but really like him a lot!
