Any tips on replacing jet parts? I have some that lose their ball bearings, and others that don't spin around.

That would depend on what style jets these are. If this is an older Sundance with intellijets, then they are quite simple to replace the bearings. You simply pull the nozzle out, the retaining ring should come out with this, and then remove the bearing rings as one assmebly.

The Biggest WTF Moments From Revenge Season 1, Episode 7: "Charade"
We're pretty convinced Revenge's version of the Hamptons exists in some parallel universe where dogs remain frisky long after they should've died, brothers raised in the same house can have completely different accents, and party planners don't get fired even though every soiree they throw ends in disaster. But all those crazy, mind-boggling moments are why we love Revenge so dearly, so we'll forgive them their little quirks. We'll still point them out, though. Here are the biggest WTF moments from Revenge Season 1, Episode 7, "Charade."
Emily gives Jack a compass (to her heart)
While she's a master at setting people up and taking them down, Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) needs to work on her poker face. She's always initially shocked that, for example, her therapist has leaked a personal video about her intimacy issues, but she always allows time for a secret smile amid the chaos. Then, in Season 3, Episode 7, "Charade," Em hands Jack (Nick Wechsler) a token of her appreciation — an old tyme mariner's compass — because he fixed her bench/didn't run away crying when she rejected him. She might as well have just tattooed "I <3 Jack" on her wrist. Next time, buy him a tie or Tuesdays With Morrie or something else that doesn't convey romance at all.
The Times' turnaround
Reporter Melissa had barely finished asking her last question when the next scene showed everyone oohing and ahhing over her article about the Hampton's happiest couple. There was barely time to proofread let alone fact check that bad boy. Basically, Melissa finished up her interviews, wrote the article, turned it into her editor, and got it printed in less than a day. No wonder she's the Hamptons' top reporter.
The warden loses Frank
Somewhere between the Emily Thorne memorial library and the top-secret records office, Frank gave the juvenile detention center warden the slip. This is only a few hours after the warden warned Emily not to underestimate her enemies, so she really should've been more careful. Maybe it's an easier place to break in to than it is to break out of?
Under the floor boards
Much like Dexter Morgan's box of murder victim slides, Emily's infinity box gives us palpitations whenever she pulls it out. It's basically a road map to all the shady stuff she's pulled — and plans to pull — on the Hamptons elite. Thank goodness she finally found a semi-decent hiding place for that thing, but she really needs to get a safety deposit box for all her plotting materials. We fear she'll be discovered every time she obsessively stares at that picture with an increasing number of faces X-ed out in red marker.

Pentium 4 loophole could let in hackers

Intel kills plans for 4GHz PentiumOctober 14, 2004
Hyperthreading, introduced in Intel's Pentium 4, could allow hackers to access secure information, according to Colin Percival, a 23-year-old Ph.D. student from Vancouver, British Columbia. The technology makes software run faster by letting two threads run on the same processor at the same time.
The attack, revealed Friday in a paper delivered at the BSDCan conference in Ottawa, relies on a spy process installed on the server and sharing the L2 cache with an OpenSSL cryptographic process. The spy process observes the time taken for certain cache operations and deduces what the other process is doing (which Percival refers to as "footprints in the cache"), gathering information that could help crack the desired password.
Intel, which was informed of the problem in March, said the risk is very low. It only works on a server that has already been compromised to allow a malicious hacker to install a spy process. If the hacker has already achieved this, there are many easier and quicker ways to steal data, Intel spokesman Howard High said.
The attack could also affect any other processor that shares resources and not just Intel chips or hyperthreading chips, Intel has pointed out. Nevertheless, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip giant expects future versions of the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems to fix the problem.
Since discovering the flaw in October 2004, Percival has been working with FreeBSD and other operating systems developers to assess the risks, and various responses are posted on his site. Operating systems that do not exploit hyperthreading and keep it disabled, such as SCO's UnixWare, are said to be immune.
Peter Judge of ZDNet UK reported from London.

- What nonsense
- This article illustrates a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! To call this a flaw is to say that every computer using a volatile memory has an inherint flaw. Was someone looking for funding?

- Spent too much time in academia
- In order to exploit this flaw, the hacker must already have full control of a system. If someone has full control of a computer, then why bother reading the CPU cache, if you can just read the keyboard directly?
Oh wait that would not get published, but sadly this did.

As Joe Staley lay on the turf, his screams filling a half-empty arena, he gave us what seemed like the answer.
During the week, the league's hottest topic was what to make of the 49ers. Were they simply enduring a sluggish start, thanks to a tough schedule and a spate of injuries? Or were they finally crashing to earth, having used up (and squandered) two years of good fortune?
After a week that started bad, got worse, threatened total catastrophe, but then seemed to offer a small ray of hope, Staley gave us what seemed like the answer. The truth about the Niners' season, screamed past the rafters and up to the heavens.
It's broken.
The week's first cracks appeared six days earlier, when Aldon Smith was busted—again—for DUI. Of course, driving drunk shows appalling judgment, no matter the circumstances. But Smith's case was stupefying. Smith was busted at 7 a.m., when most of his teammates were likely at work. He'd crashed into a tree and was so wasted that he was still gunning the engine, even while he slept at the wheel. The fact that no one was killed—including Smith—is more than a minor miracle.
Yet two days later, against the Colts, the Niners chose to play him.
Jim Harbaugh couldn't care less what you think. He knows what's right, and if you don't like it, then screw you. Unquestionably, this god complex is part of the reason he's such a great coach. But, of course, he's a human being. And here's the thing about human beings: when they think they're always right, eventually they're proven wrong.
In this case, Harbaugh was flagrantly wrong. He'd so often preached the gospel of discipline and accountability, yet when Smith showed a desperate need for both, he meekly passed the buck to the league. This wasn't Demarcus Dobbs, after all, the reserve whom Harbaugh had promptly suspended after a DUI last year. This was a star, and dammit, Harbaugh needed a win.
Harbaugh decided that a Week 3 game was more important than his own integrity. And almost justly, he lost both.
Though most expected an exorcism of the nightmare in Seattle, instead the Niners reprised it. With Vernon Davis sitting out, the receiving corps was at its nadir, no longer even professional-grade. Yet Greg Roman dialed up pass after pass, most of which naturally went incomplete. Meanwhile, though it was still a one-score game even as late as the fourth quarter, Frank Gore, who averaged nearly eight yards per rush, got all of three second-half carries. Then, at last, the D gave out, producing another blowout score.
And this time, there was no crowd-noise to blame.
Harbaugh had lost two games in a row, by a total score of 56 to 10. What once had been a Super Bowl favorite now looked like it couldn't beat anyone. Having failed to deliver the demanded win, Smith was sent away for rehab, which could keep him away for roughly a month. (At full salary, though; what a country.) Fellow all-world linebacker Patrick Willis joined the list of the walking wounded. And now, on a short week, off to St. Louis, to face a team we hadn't defeated in more than a year.
Things were bad and getting worse. And when the Rams were leading midway through the second quarter, having outgained the Niners by 80 yards, things were virtually catastrophic.
But Harbaugh is smart, if nothing else. And with the rest of the season slipping away, he finally accepted the ugly truth.
For more than four years, this page has featured a stirring debate on the topic of modern offensive philosophy. Many have argued the continued viability of an old-school run-first approach: using the run to set up the pass, trying to win by controlling the clock. It's a tough-guy style that appeals to our primal aggressiveness. The only thing wrong is it doesn't produce sustained success. Ever since Bill Walsh came around, the greatest teams have been pass-first teams: using the pass to get the lead, and then, having spread the field, using the run to keep the lead. There's no doubting the importance of balance and versatility, but that doesn't obscure the crucial fact: winning teams pass, and passing teams win.
Harbaugh knows this, of course. But he also knows that you can't waste time trying to pound square pegs. When he first arrived, his quarterback was Alex Smith, who could manage a game but couldn't go pass-heavy for long. So on went the run-first training wheels. The team won anyway, thanks to Harbaugh's singular genius. But as soon as Colin Kaepernick was ready, presenting the chance for a big-boy O, Harbaugh didn't hesitate. For the first time in more than a decade, the Niners had their pass-first QB.
But a pass-first O needs catching as much as passing. And by the second quarter in St. Louis, the truth was inescapable. The Niners had their pass-first QB, yet he didn't have enough weapons to throw to. So, with more than a touch of sadness I'd bet, Harbaugh did the sensible thing.
He put the training wheels back on.
Just like his prehistoric predecessor, Harbaugh made Gore his "bell cow," and Gore responded with 153 yards and a score. Meanwhile, Kaepernick did his best Alex Smith, taking checkdowns and only the occasional downfield shot. (His deep-throw percentage has plunged to 23%—down from last year's league-leading 30.) Our D strangled the Rams' hapless O, and the Niners notched a comfortable win that allowed us all to climb down from the ledge.
Afterward, Gore, who'd had it out with Harbaugh late against Indy, praised his coach for returning to what he felt was the Niners' true identity. "We had to get back on track and just be us," he said. "That's playing smash-mouth football ... That's what we do."
What Gore didn't say, though, is that we're doing it only with no other choice. Harbaugh didn't want to go back, to trying to grind out wins like this. He knows, long-term, he simply isn't playing the odds. But the mission now is not long-term. The mission now is to hold the fort. Pick up wins however we can, pray that they're enough for the playoffs, and hope, against hope, that by then we'll have the weapons we need, to take those training wheels back off, and hopefully put them away for good.
As this week of turmoil ended, it wasn't a plan that seemed likely to work. But as it turned out, Staley was wrong. It wasn't broken, not yet anyway. Despite having been literally bent over backward, Staley got up and soldiered on, limping into an uncertain future.
As a whole, the Niners are too.

By: ChantoDate: Sunday, October 6, 2013 at 10:13 PMComment: Hey Jeff, you still think Kaep is not regressing after just 6 completions tonight? Barely 160 something yards... and by the way again missing Boldin and Davis on easy passes.... I am really happy we are back on track with our D and with FG21, but Kaep's performance is concerning. Gooo niners!Response: Sorry, Chanto, but I won't judge Kaepernick until he shows a "regression" with a competent receiving corps. I just won't do it.
By: davidDate: Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 10:08 AMComment: Harbaugh and the 49ers just proved that they are only human and can make bad decisions, e.g. playing aldon smith, keeping colt mccoy #2, and the worst decision, letting BJ daniels go and picking up Skelton (25 interceptions & a 63.0 passer rating). WTF?
By: ShaneDate: Monday, September 30, 2013 at 6:52 PMComment: Our WRs are terrible, there is no doubt about it. I wld love if boldin was our 2, but its tough at this stage to be a one. The rest are just not ready. I'm hoping Baldwin pops this week and turns into what his potential says he should be. However, a concern is Kaep is struggling through his reads. The worst was when he missed Davis for a potential 90 yarder on a rollout that looked designed to hit Davis. He was wide open. He missed miller wide open on a second read. Patton in the seattle game alone. Etc etc. Is it rapport, lack of confidence, line play, or just the fact it's only his 14th game? Maybe all of them? I feel he regressed in this area from last year when he was reading the field well.
By: Roy PrasadDate: Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 5:42 PMComment: Jeff: Re Harbaugh going to a ground game more because he has to than he wants to: I submit that even if we were 100% at WR, a run-centric game plan would have been the right strategy @ Seattle, the loudest NFL stadium with the best secondary in the league. So shouldn't the question be why did we not bring the game plan vs. the Rams to the Seattle game? Why only 20 running plays, even when we were averaging 5.0 yds/play? Also, in the first Q, we had a 1st and goal at the 9 yd line. The end zone is the loudest part of the stadium. Why did we not call three running plays, with a chance for at least a FG? Strangely reminiscent of the SB. IMHO, it's rather pointless to generalize with cliches like if we're a winning team, then we must pass, or if we don't pass to set up the run, we're old school. You have to adapt to what the other team is doing, both strategically and tactically. You draw up a game plan that tries to avoid the opponent's strengths and exploit their weaknesses, while playing to your strengths and protecting your weaknesses. Yes, our WR corps was dinged, but more fundamentally, I don't think our game plan adapted to Seattle and Indy.
By: GonzolaDate: Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 4:37 PMComment: The 49ers survive, but the NFL is upside down. 2-2 is the norm and the Seahawks and Broncos are "good" teams. What is this world coming to? Patience... Week 6 will come and go and hopefully we will see some players return from the injured rosters. Kappy throws them in the dirt when receivers fail to run their routes and/or get open methinks?! What do you think Jeff? I think Colt McCoy is a pretty damn good backup. Now if Peyton gets hurt the Broncos are finished and the same goes for Seattle without Wilson... Coach H is an architect, not a one-hit wonder. Unfortunately, he has delegated offensive playcalling to Roman who runs on one brain cell sometimes. Go NINERS!
By: Paul A.Date: Sunday, September 29, 2013 at 9:34 AMComment: Jeff, This is what we have been hearing for the last half a decade. The backers of AS have been saying, if only there were a good receiving corps then the 9ers would have an explosive offense. Others have said it is the QB, so they changed QBs and the leitmotif is the same...HMMMMM!Response: That's why this is so frustrating, Paul. We waited all those years for the QB, only to promptly end up with the worst (or nearly the worst) receiving corps in the league. So we're back where we started. It's almost unfair.

I am just concerned by how he is playing.Response: Do you notice, though, that none of his throws at Boldin and Davis are terrible? I wonder why.
By: Gary MialocqDate: Saturday, September 28, 2013 at 3:46 PMComment: Great article, Jeff.Response: Thanks, Gary.
By: MrU5h3rDate: Saturday, September 28, 2013 at 3:04 PMComment: Aldon went to work after receiving a DUI. So do most people who don't lose their jobs over it.Response: Good for him. But he should've been suspended when he got there.

The Pug is a miniature mastiff, with boxy head, large bone and typically thick, wrinkled skin. He hails originally from the Orient, where the Chinese have always favored the snub-nosed dog. This little dog could pass for a flat-faced miniature Tibetan Mastiff or a long-legged, smooth cousin of the Pekingese.
Most agree that the Pug originated in China, dating back to around 700 BC.
They were bred to be a companion not a guardian. They were bred by the royalty
and were pampered and spoiled. They have not lost this characteristic. There are many stories surround the Pug, among them one that Napoleon had to call a truce with Josephine's Pug if he wanted to keep Josephine!
Quiet, but alert, affectionate and patient, Pug's are true "gentlemen" and "ladies." If they attend too many tea parties, however, they tend to become grossly overweight.

Renowned Russian State Chorus returning to Hong Kong
The world-class Russian State Chorus will revisit Hong Kong for two performances next month.
Under the baton of its music director Igor Raevski, the chorus will perform on October 8 (Friday) at the Auditorium, Kwai Tsing Theatre and October 9 (Saturday) at the Auditorium, Shatin Town Hall. The shows, featuring works by Rachmaninov, Schubert, Mozart, Brahms to name a few, as well as some Russian folk songs, will begin at 8pm.
Founded in 1936 by Alexander Sveshnikov, the Russian State Chorus has been recognised as one of the world's leading choral ensembles. Best known for its performances of the Russian classical repertoire as well as folk songs, the chorus has given a number of notable world premieres, including works by Schedrin, Shostakovich and Prokofiev. Under the leadership of the founder for 40 years, succeeded by Minin, Agafonnikov, Tytianko, and currently Igor Raevski, the chorus has been awarded top prizes and honours from many countries. Unique programmes, repertoire and powerful performing potential have helped the Russian State Chorus win worldwide fame. The chorus has toured widely and received high acclaim in Europe, the Far East and across the United States.
One of the most famous choral conductors in Russia today, Igor Raevski was appointed Artistic Director of the Russian State Chorus in 1995. Since 1958, he has worked with numerous ensembles of song and dance within the Russian Military Forces, and the groups under his leadership have been awarded various prizes by the Government. In 1997, in celebration of the 850th anniversary of Moscow, Raevski was selected as the grand master and choral conductor of the 3000-voice mixed choir. With his artistic achievements, Raevski holds the honour of People's Artist of Russia. He is currently a Professor at the Moscow Conservatory and Military-Choral Faculty of the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow.
"Concert by the Russian State Chorus" is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department.

Report: Overhaul needed for Calif. high-speed rail
SACRAMENTO, Calif. The state's independent analyst on Tuesday called for major changes to California's high-speed rail plans, including delaying the fast-tracked project and removing its oversight from an independent board.
Management at the California High-Speed Rail Authority is inadequate to guarantee that the project's first phase, which would link San Francisco to Los Angeles and Anaheim, will be developed successfully, the report by the Legislative Analyst's Office said.
The cost for that first phase was estimated in 2009 at $43 billion. But estimates for early stages of the project have grown by as much as 57 percent since then, the report warned, while funding sources are uncertain and subject to political winds.
Those factors, along with strings attached to the federal money already received and a lack of reliable information about the huge transportation system, "pose threats to the high-speed rail project's successful development," according the report.
Analysts recommended that lawmakers slow down the project, which is supported with nearly $10 billion in voter-approved bonds, and shift operational and strategic oversight to the state Department of Transportation. The report called on lawmakers to cut $185 million in funding requested for the project, which is scheduled to start construction next year.
"You have to have really good information to make decisions on a project of this size," said Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor.
The risks of high-speed rail are substantial, but so are the potential benefits, Taylor said. "We're trying to make the project as successful as possible," and one way to do that is to ensure that the first segments built provide the most benefit to the public and have a chance to draw enough riders and revenue to support their own operation, he added.
The rail authority will review the recommendations and work with the Legislature to address its concerns, said Roelof van Ark, the agency's chief executive officer.
"I believe this project has been successful thus far because it has strived to operate more like a private business than a typical government bureaucracy," he said in a statement.
High-speed rail backers warned that the LAO approach could endanger the project.
Folding operations into the transportation department would "bury the high-speed rail under more layers of bureaucracy" and trying to renegotiate the federal grants risks having the Federal Railroad Administration cancel them and award the money to another state, said Henry Perea, a Fresno County supervisor. The first phase of construction is slated to begin by September 2012 in and around Fresno County.
"Delays in construction would invariably result in higher costs and put billions in existing federal funding at risk," said Emily Rusch, state director of the California Public Interest Research Group.
A Federal Railroad Administration spokeswoman said she had not reviewed the report, but the federal agency was committed to keep working with the rail authority and the state's leadership.
Questions about cost have dogged the high-speed rail effort for years. The questions have become more insistent as the project nears construction and the state grapples with budget problems. Lawmakers and Gov. Jerry Brown are struggling to reach agreement on how to close an estimated $15.4 billion budget gap.

Dedicated to Becky Boyer, with many thanks
If there was any prospect in the world more horrifying than a shopping trip, it had to be a shopping trip with my stepmother. And if there was anything worse than shopping with Stepmama, it was shopping with her and both of my older sisters for my oldest sister's upcoming wedding--also known as Stepmama's New Obsession.
My oldest sister might be the closest thing to a mother that I had ever known, but even for Elissa, I could only go so far. I would have stepped between her and a rampaging highwayman in a heartbeat, but when it came to spending hours upon hours in a millinery shop while Stepmama insisted on testing every fabric and Elissa speared me with Looks of Guilt every time I let out a sigh...well, enough was enough.
Luckily, I had a plan.
Unluckily, my sisters knew me well.
"Hmm," said Angeline. "She doesn't look ill."
"I am!" I said, and forced myself to lie still on my bed. Both of my sisters were leaning over me, one on each side, to study me from every angle. It made me feel like a caged animal. "Miserably ill. Just feel my skin!"
"I'd rather not," said Angeline. "I don't know what you used to prepare yourself for us, but you're positively dripping."
"Oh, Kat," Elissa said. "You didn't actually use the beef drippings Mrs. Watson was saving for our supper, did you?"
"No!" I said indignantly. "Of course I didn't."
I'd used a combination of butter and water, actually. But it didn't seem to be doing me much good.
I scowled as I took in the skepticism on both of their faces: Angeline with one dark eyebrow raised in sardonic disdain, and Elissa with her pale, angelic face furrowed in a mixture of distress and exasperation. Now was one of those moments when I desperately wished I could have begun my proper magic lessons with the Order of the Guardians by now, to learn how to use the magic I'd been born with to safeguard good Society. Unfortunately, the initiation process was taking longer than I'd expected. I still didn't know a single magic-working that would give me a good fever just when I needed it most.
Society, in the form of myself, would just have to go unprotected for now.
"Fine," I said. "Tell Stepmama I'm not ill after all, if you want. But you know perfectly well that it's a waste of time dragging me along on today's shopping expedition. It's not as if I'll actually be helpful."
"There's an understatement," muttered Angeline.
Elissa said, "But darling, how will we know which fabrics suit you? You know you need a new gown for the wedding."
"I know." I rolled my eyes. Stepmama was determined to make this the finest and most splendid ceremony our village had ever seen. It was a good thing that Elissa's fiancé was so besotted, he was happily paying all the bills. "I'll wear whatever gown Stepmama chooses, I won't complain, and I'll do anything she asks for the next month, I promise. But please, please, please don't make me shop with her!"
"Well…" Elissa worried at her bottom lip.
"Oh, let her," said Angeline. "You know she'd only be in the way. And even if Stepmama does choose a hideous gown for her, it'll pay her out perfectly for being such a coward."
I snorted. "I'm not the one who's a coward. Who still hasn't had the courage to ask Frederick Carlyle what his intentions are?"
Color mounted on Angeline's cheeks. "Frederick--I mean, Mr. Carlyle--is Papa's student. That's all there is to it. I'm not--I wouldn't--"
"You summoned him here with a true-love spell," I said, "and he knows it, now. You two will have to discuss the matter at some point."
"I'm sure he--I mean, I don't want--I mean…"
It was pure, undiluted pleasure to see my superbly confident older sister tangling herself up on her own tongue, for once. Even Elissa couldn't manage to hide a smile at the sight.
"I wouldn't worry, Kat," she said. "I'm sure Angeline has had plenty of conversations with Mr. Carlyle on the subject. All those long, long walks around the churchyard…"
Angeline divided her glare between us. "Those were perfectly proper," she said to Elissa. "Even you couldn't complain! We were in full view of the house the entire time."
"Mmm," I said. "What about that time I found the two of you sharing a private pot of tea in the parlor?"
"What?!" Elissa's mouth dropped open. She looked genuinely scandalized, and I felt a twinge of guilt. I might actually have gone too far, this time.
"It was only a pot of tea!" Angeline said. "Kat, you wretch--"
"It really was," I assured Elissa hastily. "It was perfectly proper. They were sitting on separate couches, and the door was at least three inches open."
"Oh." Elissa's shoulders relaxed. "You should have mentioned that part first. But Angeline, you must have a care for your reputation. No matter how harmless your actions, if any gossip should begin in the neighborhood--"
"Giiiirls!" Stepmama's voice sounded below, and I breathed a sigh of relief at the interruption. If Elissa had had enough time to deliver one of her endless lectures on propriety, I knew exactly whom Angeline would have blamed for it.
Normally, Stepmama wouldn't have dreamed of being so common as to shout for us, but Stepmama had limits, too, and climbing up the ladder to my attic room was one of them. She claimed the hopeless disorder in my bedroom gave her palpitations. So she stood below the trapdoor and caroled, "Are you ready yet?"
"Very," Angeline called back. There was a snap in her voice like an arctic chill. "Come along, Elissa. We'll leave Kat to enjoy her day alone. All alone."
"If you're really certain…" Elissa began.
"Oh, I am," I said, and pushed myself up to a sitting position, reaching for a flannel as they left. I was so busy wiping off the greasy butter-and-water mixture from my face, I barely even noticed Angeline muttering something under her breath on her way out.
I didn't realize anything was wrong until I tried to swing my legs off the bed.
They didn't move. At first I thought I was imagining things. Then I braced myself on the mattress, pulled with all my might…and fell flat on my back as my legs remained firmly planted on the bed. They might have been painted there, for all that they budged.
I gritted my teeth. Every so often, it was truly annoying to have a practicing witch as an older sister...

Amalgamated Beverage Industries (ABI), supported by the PET Recycling Company (PETCO), inaugurated a School Recycling competition in 2012, which has 120 primary schools in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal regions collect 67 tons of waste for recycling in the 4-month campaign.
The winning schools were Boikgantsho Primary School from Mamelodi (Gauteng) which won R50,000 as the first prize and the first and second runners up were FF Rebeiro Primary School from Mamelodi and Lourdes Primary School, from Diepkloof (Gauteng) with R25,000 and R10,000 respectively for infrastructural development for their schools.
The awards took place at Montecasino before a diverse audience of students and headmasters joined by representatives from the Departments of Education and Waste Management and executives from ABI's corporate green partners and stakeholders.
The main aim of the school recycling competition has been to educate students, teachers, parents and the whole community about the importance of waste collection and recycling for a sustainable future. The schools were rewarded for volume collected as well as spirit embodied in their programme, which includes motivation of learners, use of the educational material, and innovation in recycling as well community involvement.
Recycling heroes
Surprise winners announced were the 10 recycling heroes from each of the 10 finalist schools who each walk away with school fees for the year, school uniform, stationery & school bags and the two most motivational and driven program facilitators walk away with IPads. In addition to this, the highest PET collecting school was rewarded with R5,000.
"On behalf of our partners, we would like to congratulate all our winners for an outstanding effort in greening their schools," said Gaopaleloe Mothoagae, sustainable development manager at ABI. "We commend the teachers who supported this learning opportunity to enhance the educational experiences for the students."
It has been a long but rewarding journey for 120 primary schools within ABI territories in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. The focus was on primary school children; in order to change the behaviour patterns of our country we need to change the mindset of a generation.
"This is a perfect example of one simple action by young people having a bigger impact - this is something we can all learn from, as a great achievement towards caring for the environment we live, work and play in," she concluded.

By Shawn Clarke, Contributing NFL Editor
(Sports Network) - The Seattle Seahawks are a stylish pick to represent the NFC in this year's Super Bowl and the long and winding road begins Sunday against the host Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.
Seattle came close to advancing to last season's conference championship game, losing in the waning seconds at Atlanta in the divisional round. The Seahawks went 11-5 a year ago, the best mark since going 10-6 in 2007, and are pegged to compete with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West.
The Seahawks owe a lot of last season's success to quarterback Russell Wilson, who beat out Matt Flynn for the starting job as a rookie. Wilson never relinquished his golden opportunity and because of that the Seahawks have high hopes for 2013. Wilson started all 16 games last season, going 8-0 at home, and passed for 3,118 yards with 26 touchdown passes, tying Peyton Manning's rookie record.
Wilson, who had a 100-plus passer rating in nine games in 2012 and exceeded all expectations, will try not to struggle through the so-called sophomore slump now that opposing defenses will be keying in on last April's third-round draft choice. Head coach Pete Carroll is confident in his signal caller and knows Wilson makes everyone around him that much better.
"Russell is the kind of player that will affect other guys," Carroll said recently. "He affects everybody around him and hopefully that will help everybody play better."
Seattle has reached the playoffs twice in the previous three seasons and was riding a six-game winning streak until falling to the Falcons at the Georgia Dome. The Seahawks overcame a 20-0 deficit to make it interesting and the outcome could have been different had Marshawn Lynch been able to find an opening across the offensive line. Lynch is another star for the Seahawks and perhaps gives the team a better chance to win than Wilson.
As difficult as that may be to believe, Lynch has been born again in the Pacific Northwest and Carroll will feed the hard-charging back as much as possible. Lynch has transformed himself into one of the top backs in the league and was third in the NFL last season with a career-high 1,590 rushing yards. Lynch had 100 or more yards rushing in eight of the final 10 games in 2012 and leads the NFL with 2,531 rushing yards since Nov. of 2011.
The Seahawks have lost two straight and three of their last four season openers and are winless in the past three lid-lifters on the road. They haven't won a season opener on the road since Sept. 10, 2006 at Detroit and will start the season away from home for the 10th time in 14 years.
Carolina has missed the playoffs each of the past four years and, like Seattle, is counting on big things in 2013. Quarterback Cam Newton set the bar high this offseason by saying: "The time is now."
Newton said that during a radio interview and touched on how the atmosphere is much different than a year ago. Whether the new attitude serves a purpose in 2013 is unknown, but Newton is saying all the right things.
"We're looking at the small things that can make a big difference. It starts here in practice. We can't hold ourselves accountable to a standard in a game if we don't do it in practice," Newton said. "That's been something of a different vibe in practice. It's been working out for us."
The Panthers enter the new season with a chip on their shoulder and teams should be wary of what they could do. After a lowly 1-6 start a season ago, the team was able to come together and finish strong, going 6-3 the rest of the way with four straight victories to close the season.
Carolina hasn't had a winning season since 2008, when it was 12-4, and finished the 2009 campaign at 8-8. Head coach Ron Rivera was given a pass by owner Jerry Richardson in January, when it was confirmed he will return for a third season. But 2013 could be his last if the Panthers fail to meet requirements. Carolina was 6-10 in Rivera's first season, but the team rallied at the end of 2012 to finish 7-9. The four-game winning streak to end the season gave hope to Rivera.
"We played a lot of young players who gained valuable experience that should help us in the coming season," Rivera said. "There are a lot of positives to take away from last season, but they are only meaningful if we learn from them in 2013."
Carolina has lost four straight season openers.
Sunday's matchup between the Panthers and Seahawks will be the sixth in the regular season. The teams split the first four encounters, then the Seahawks won last season's meeting, 16-12, on Oct. 7 in the Tar Heel State.
Newton has been all the rage the past two seasons in which he's amassed 7,920 passing yards. He is the only quarterback with 500-plus rushing yards in each of his first two seasons and shouldn't have to shoulder the ground load with DeAngelo Williams in the backfield.
But Lynch deserves some credit, too, for his transformation in Seattle. How Lynch goes, the Seahawks will go this season. The Panthers and Seahawks have similar dilemmas with athletic QBs and an above average backfield, but Seattle has the edge with Lynch.
Once Lynch gets into "Beast Mode" he's pretty tough to stop. He leads the NFL with 16 100-yard rushing games since 2011 and has hit that mark in 16 of his last 25 games. While Wilson has Sidney Rice and Golden Tate to throw passes to, it may be easier for him to just stick the ball into Lynch's midsection.
Lynch, the third player (Chris Warren, Shaun Alexander) in Seahawks history to rush for 1,500 yards in a season, came within one touchdown of matching his career-high of 13 back in 2011. Lynch has a streak of four straight 100-yard rushing games alive to start the 2013 campaign for the Seahawks, who have compiled 100-plus rushing yards in 21 of the past 25 games. Lynch ran for 85 yards on 21 carries in last year's game against Carolina.
Since Week 9 of 2011, Seattle's 3,791 yards ranks first in the NFL.
The Panthers, though, will counter Lynch and the Seattle offense with second- year stud linebacker Luke Kuechly, who was the NFL's top tackler his rookie season with 164 stops. Kuechly helped turn around Carolina's defense by season's end and earned the praise of his teammates.
"He's done a fantastic job. He just makes plays. He's a young guy who didn't come in entitled. He was real eager to learn. He takes notes," Panthers star wide receiver Steve Smith said. "It doesn't surprise me how much success he's having. I think he hasn't even cracked the surface."
Smith will have an interesting matchup with Seahawks flamboyant and trash- talking cornerback Richard Sherman, who helped contain Carolina's top wideout to the tune of 40 yards on four catches.
Left defensive end Charles Johnson recorded a team-leading and a career-high 12 1/2 sacks last season and is Carolina's top pass rusher. Johnson has posted 33 1/2 sacks over the past three seasons and hopes to contain Wilson and Seattle ground attack.
Seattle's defensive front is nicked up and that will most likely lead to its demise Sunday. Sack leader Chris Clemons will not be 100 percent because of his rehab from anterior cruciate ligament knee surgery in January. Clemons, though, was activated from the PUP list during final roster cuts to avoid missing the first six games.
"To take the next step he needs to start pushing people and all that," Carroll said of Clemons. "He's coming along great, and he's making great progress."
Defensive tackles Brandon Mebane (groin), Tony McDaniel (groin) and rookie Jordan Hill (strained biceps) are all questionable because of injuries, while offseason acquisition Cliff Avril is nursing a hamstring issue.
The turf at Bank of America Stadium will need re-surfacing when the Panthers and Seahawks are through Sunday. In a matchup between teams aiming to exceed last season's expectations, it will come down to which defense makes stops and gets off the field often.
Even though Carolina has a chip on its shoulder from last season's late success, the Seahawks are a more polished bunch and losing on opening weekend will be detrimental to their psyche.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Seahawks 21, Panthers 17

Iran says here that it will soon unveil — and fly — its first domestically manufactured fighter jet.
(Source: Iran Defense Forum)
This is presumably a reference to a new version of the Northrop F-5F, potentially modified with the Russian RD-33 engine, Iranian radar and avionics, shoulder-mounted air intakes and — most bizarrely — a V-tail. I believe the program has been named Shafagh, but the new release calls it the Azarakhsh.
The program does not appear to demonstrate so much a leap in military capability but in domestic industrial prowess, assuming the aircraft can, indeed, fly.
Developing an indigenous aerospace manufacturing capability has become the hot new fad for countries on the US export control blacklist, with Iran leading the way. Last fall, Venezuela announced it was seeking to develop an indigenous industry to build military fighter trainers after the US blocked Brazil from exporting Super Tucanos to Caracas.

Plaxico Burress may not leave the AFC East after all. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that Burress is en route to New England for a workout with the Patriots. The free agent receiver has generated little buzz this offseason, largely due to his contractual demands, which he's since lowered. He's now willing to play for the league minimum, and that's all he could expect entering his age-35 campaign. Burress, who led the Jets with eight touchdown grabs in 2011, would not have a major role with the Pats, a team stacked with capable wideouts. Should he come aboard, it would likely spell the end for Deion Branch or Donte Stallworth — or both — as their offense is mostly centered around the play of tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, making one or two players expendable. If anything, the 6-foot-5 Burress would provide another redzone target for Tom Brady — and that's about it. As he showed last year, Plax has lost quite a bit of his explosiveness and is no long...

I usually wear size Mens Large but after reading the comments on this rashguard shirt prior to purchasing it, I opted to size up to an XL. I received the shirt today and tried it on. It is a very very snug and uncomfortable fit. I am returning it.

This seems like a great rash guard shirt. The material and stitiching are all quality. Well worth the extra money for a the name brand over store brand or no-brand. Though this is reated at SPF 40. That is lower than most other shirts are rated, but it SPF 40! It was smaller than I expected, so I simply got another in a Large.One comment about the sizing. "Boys" and "S, M, L, or XL" is non-specific at best. I bought a medium for 9 yo. and there we no way it would fit on him. I checked before even trying by stretching sleeve and body around his bicep and torso. I put the Medium down over other rash guard shirts and it was larger than a loose 4T and smaller than a 6/7.
I like it
Just as my son expected.
A little more snug, but a great fit! Good protection against the sun and the waves!
Great shirt! Fits well. Worked great for our vacation. My son wore it every day in the pool and river. He loves the shirt.
My son loved his new Hurley rashguard! Awsome fit, great product!
These do fit snugly (by intent), so if you want a loose fit, you should probably order a larger size. They worked great and we used a lot less sunscreen since the torso and arms were completely protected by our shirts. My older boys preferred the short sleeve version, but I would have made them use the long sleeve if they were fair-skinned.
My 11 yr old son who is 5'2" and weighs 98lbs wears this shirt to swim team practice and many times during afternoon swims. It fits him perfectly(XL) although he could have made do with a large-he likes the looser fit. Sun protection is very good. This was exactly what I wanted for him. Washes and dries perfectly.
This shirt is the best. My younger son has always refused to wear a swimshirt - he felt too confined, I guess. And has issues with necklines, always. This shirt is softer than you can even imagine, with no scratchy seams, or thick-sewn seams under the arms and around the neck, which always put off my sons. I got the Large, my son is a 60 lb. 8 year old, and it's slightly big, but in a good way. The medium would have been too tight, I think.

Hurley™ was born out of a love for the ocean that continues more than three decades later. Bob Hurley founded Hurley Surfboards in 1979 in Costa Mesa, CA. Within a few years, he was shaping boards for some of the world's best surfers. By the 1990s, Bob began to realize that surf culture was intertwined with fashion, music, and art. He sought to capture the ever-changing spirit of the ocean in the company's beach apparel. Bob founded Hurley with the intention of redefining what it meant to be a surf brand.
Today, Hurley remains true to its beach roots as one of the leading producers of surf gear, boardshorts, and swimsuits. Hurley's most popular items for both men and women include the "Phantom" and "Puerto Rico" swimwear lines. The company also features rashguards, bags, and other accessories for the avid surfer.
But Hurley products are not just for lovers of the water -- the brand's apparel takes the spirit of surfing into all facets of life. Hurley features popular lines of t-shirts, hoodies, backpacks, tote bags, hats, pants, and dresses. Despite having become one of the biggest names in surf and swim gear, Hurley remains passionate about the ideals of inclusion, positivity, and freedom of expression that go hand-in-hand with beach culture.

Fictions of History
- Course Code:
- 155901013
- Unit value:
- 1
- Year of study:
- Year 2 or Year 3
- Taught in:
- Full Year
Objectives and learning outcomes of the course
Please note that this course will be renamed to 'Fictions of History' shortly.
At the end of the course, a student should be able to:
- show an advanced level of understanding of literary and critical representations of history in Africa and the diaspora
- undertake independent research and complete it successfully
- show advanced level of expression of his/her views both orally and in written form
WorkloadTotal of 22 weeks teaching with 2 hours classroom contact per week.
Scope and syllabus
This course looks at representations of history in Africa and the diaspora. Our focus will be on novels from Africa and the Caribbean, but we will also look at questions of auto/biography (The History of Mary Prince; Head Above Water; Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight) and the story of a runaway slave in the American South (Property). Throughout the course we are examining the intersection of history and literature to discuss the ways in which they work as genres and as disciplines. What are the implications of reading a novel for its historical content or accuracy? How do different writers reflect on questions of authorship?
This is a seminar, requiring a high level of participation, motivation, and independent thinking! Attendance at seminars is compulsory. Short presentations will be allocated on key critical readings; two major presentations will also be required during the year.

Starlets as living advertising platforms
WARNING: Explicit photos NSFW. Neuroscientists tell us that "sex and food" are the two things that make us happy. Even the sheer thought about either two has an instant effect on our mood. Marketers, of course, know this too and have been using sex especially as a potent stimulant to sell about anything humans have ever produced. Sex sells. They know it, you know it.
The marketing industry has introduced about any method to incorporate sex in advertising imaginable; from subliminal 'sexual graphics' to bikini clad models promoting bicycles or hamburgers. They've done, we've seen it.
While the use of subliminal graphics didn't really work out too well the use of scantly dressed women is still a favorite. But with the arrival of the social web, and the ever increasing struggle for 'awareness' and 'publicity' in our over consuming media culture it is increasingly difficult to stick a product into the consumer's head.
Traditional advertising is hardly working anymore unless we're able to add a 'buzz', make our message go 'viral', or spin a little 'scandal' like being banned from a TV-network or magazine. Unless you revert to the entertainment industry and use their new advertising platform; the starlet, the socialite, the 'reality TV star'. The young celebs that are so hungry for attention that they are prepared to do almost anything to score a few headlines and backed by an industry that no longer is interested in talent but exploits living advertising platforms ready to sell your product at editorial pages. Who needs advertising pages when you can have a starlet promoting your product on the front page?
There are numerous brands that make use of these platforms one of which is Smartwater; a bottled water with some added 'extra's'. It was Smartwater who was aiming for a viral last year with the alleged Jennifer Aniston sex-tape. (see video below) The video managed to gain some 'buzz', but it hardly went viral.
Nevertheless, ever since we see countless 'talents' strolling the streets billboarding their bottle of Smartwater. And especially for a society like the U.S. that adores their celebs and represents a bottled water market of 500 million sold bottles every week that's a smart move and accomplishment.
But it doesn't create a 'buzz'. Neither does it go 'viral'. And for a product that is one of the most unnecessary of the Western world, so much that it considers tap water as its biggest enemy, celeb billboarding alone, although very useful, won't do.
So, it's no surprise Smartwater took their celeb billboarding one step further. This time it wasn't Jennifer Aniston with an alleged 'sex-tape' that turned out to be anything but a 'sex-tape', but they hired Miley Cyrus and got her to deliver the 'fantasy' and the headlines and online buzz.
Miley set up the campaign in front of her Pilates studio where after her work out she quickly slipped in (or should I say 'out') a tiny black dress as a perfect prop to very publicly and openly slide into her convertible carrying her Smartwater bottle. The paparazzi did what they were expected to do and within 24 hours the Smartwater campaign was copied over countless websites and social networks. Mission accomplished.
This wasn't the first time Miley Cyrus used her naked assets to set up a campaign btw. She did the same format for Tesla Cars where she slipped out of her undies when the paparazzi arrived and slipped back into modesty when they left.
And Miley isn't the only 'talent' that uses 'voyeurism' to promote a product. We've seen it before, and we will see it again. The question only being; what will be the next line to cross? Sex-tapes start to backlash and up skirt photography is getting old too. So what's next? Completely naked appearances? Well, we're almost there.. Or do we grow up and stop buying into this type of marketing? Or what?
Here's the Jennifer Aniston "sex-tape" ad for Smartwater:(5021)

Getting worse
When I first downloaded Instagram back in 2013, things were pretty chill. Your updates got better, the best one yet would probably have to be when your explore page was just "based on people you follow" and "based on photos you liked". But after that, your updates weren't as good anymore. I didn't like it very much when you changed the design of the like and comment button, and quite frankly, neither did anyone else that I follow on either of the two accounts I run. But now that you've completely redone the explore page, it's safe to say that things were best the way they were before. Your updates are coming out like a chicken laying eggs, each one degrading the quality of this fantastic site. It's safe to say at this point that if you keep this up, Instagram will be ruined. It doesn't need updating every 2 months. You're gilding the lily, and it's irritating, trying to get used to your crappy new job, only for it to be changed in a few months so we can get used to it all over again.
I have a few things I need to say. Let's start with the spam accounts. Ok so most of the stuff that people post is fake things, that aren't even on other accounts. And then they are trying to get us to download stuff. Most people know that that spam things are fake. And it annoys many people. Ok second, is my account going to get disabled? Because when I have wifi, it says "no internet connection" or it says "could not refresh feed" if you are disabling accounts. At least let people know so they can figure out what to do. And third of all, people are getting into unnecessary fights on people's pages. For example on Fall Out Boys page, some people got into a fight about the bible? It was on a #lovewins. That is supposed to be a post about happiness about how gay marriage is legal in all states now. It wasn't supposed to be a post on where you start a fight. One good thing I have to add is that the new update on the search icon is very useful. Thank you for reading, I hope you can improve this app to make it even better.
Hate the new updates!
People were complaining about the new update and I wanted to see what this was all about so I updated it myself- I agree with the people who are not happy with this update because I am not either! First of all, what are these top posts? People can find that themselves if they want to, but it's so much harder to see the recent posts in the hashtag and search which is what Instagram users actually care about. Second, in the last update, the comment and like layout completely changed! The updates are getting worse and worse and they need to stop. It's ridiculous how Instagram went from the easiest social media app to use to the hardest in just a couple months. All in all, what I am really trying to say is that we don't need extra buttons to love Instagram. We like Instagram how it was... or at least I do- sweet and Simple. If you want people to start using Instagram again, update the app to something useful like 30 second videos, not some extra useless buttons. Thank you for reading this Instagram Team, and please consider these changes!

The Classroom Economy: End-of-the-Year Class Auction
- Grades: 3–5
Auctions are a great way for students to take part in a real-world economic activity. I demonstrate this concept in my classroom economy at the end of the year. My students are able to participate in a silent auction by bidding on larger ticket items and class mementos.
I ask parents to donate "desirable" items that are new or gently used for our end-of-the-year auction. I also include items like autographed class pictures, class books, hallway signs, and other theme-related classroom decor that might appeal to my students. Each item has its own bid sheet, and students are able to bid and outbid each other to get the items they most desire.
