Rustenburg — Police nyalas blocked the path of striking miners who were trying to escape into Nkaneng informal settlement, a wounded miner told the Farlam Commission of Inquiry on Wednesday.
Siphete Phatsha said, through an interpreter, that he and other striking Lonmin workers were assembled on a hill on August 16 when they noticed a nyala trying to "close us in".
"We left immediately. The idea was to proceed towards [Nkaneng]. We found police had closed our way."
Phatsha said the miners, who were being sprayed with teargas and by a police water cannon, ran towards the kraal.
Two or three nyalas had outstripped the miners and blocked their way, but they ran behind a kraal. When they emerged, they were fired on with live ammunition, he said.
"I jumped over people who had fallen down and went through the kraal and out the other side."
Phatsha said at this point he felt pain in his foot and realised he had been shot.
"The injured toe was impeding my movements and getting caught by stones and plants on the ground," he said in a statement.
He amputated what was left of his toe with a bush knife.
"I sat down, cut off that piece and I was able to run after that."
He tied a piece of cloth around the stump as a makeshift tourniquet.
Phatsha said at the small hill, he saw other protesters surrendering to the police.
"They were raising their hands and asking for forgiveness....They were being shot at."
He joined a group which was being arrested. A policeman later told him and two others that they needed medical treatment. They were taken to hospital.
Earlier, Phatsha described his job as a rock drill operator as dangerous.
In August, he earned around R5 000, including a "sleep out" allowance.
The commission is probing the deaths of 44 people during an unprotected strike at Lonmin Platinum's mine in Marikana, North West, last year.
On August 16, 34 striking mineworkers were shot dead and 78 were injured when the police opened fire while trying to disperse a group which had gathered on a hill near the mine.
Ten people, including two police officers and two security guards, were killed near the mine in the preceding week.

Windows 10 Home vs Windows 10 Pro comparison: Here are the extra features you get in the Pro version
Wales Considered Cheating
The fact that it was even a thought, let alone discussed, is disgraceful and in my view does no credit to Wales, their coach, or Rugby Union in general.
Cheating apppears to be becoming endemic in so many professional so-called sports.
I think Gatlin really got this wrong....He is not the best public speaker...The press have made a meal of this...What he actually said was:
"We COULD have feigned an injury resulting in uncontested scrums." COULD being the operative word.
Not the most sensible of comments, but I'm afraid this has become a feature of the game...Especially at club level.
I'm still proud of the way we have conducted ourselves in the tournament, and the Australia match should be a good one. I won't be able to watch as I have friends arriving for an annual visit, who are not Rugby fans.
I will record it though for consumption on Monday. Hmm, doubt if I'll be able to avoid the result though!
'...who are not Rugby fans.'
Just give them tea & toast and tell them to zip it for a couple of hours!
Make them watch the game and they will become fans????
If only....Wine and beer, but it would be rude of me to be glued to the TV when I only see them once a year! They worry about me, Tea and Toast? That's me these day's but for Tea read Coffee!
I shall try and avoid the result until I watch it :))
Sadly, small amounts of my friends don't like Rugby. They follow a game called Football????? Couldn't tell you much about that game! Horses for courses.
If it were the final.......I'm afraid rudeness would prevail. I would have to watch. Sadly, we are not there and th France NZ match will be a one sided affair I think.
Making them watch it? Julie would probably decide to "Go for a walk" Pete would tolerate, but would talk constantly throughout on differing topics.
Not everyone loves the game the way we do here in Wales :((
Yes I am.
The quote was COULD have not as the BBC put it "Considered It" Subtle difference , and not the the brightest thing to come out with, but a swipe regarding Sam Warburtons sending off and what COULD have been done had the staff decided to go down that route.
They didn't and I'm glad. The BBC used to be my rock for information but since cut's and the move to Salford, the quality and continutiy has dropped dramatically.
They seem to have different presenters and outside reporters on an almost daily basis.
Gatling also stated that it would not have been in the spirit of a semi-final to go down that road. This as I posted previously is rife in club rugby these day's, and it's something I'd like to see stamped on. Along with the tip tackle rule as posted in the World Cup thread.
I am still very proud of Wales and the way in which we approached the tournament.
"Wine and beer,"? The games on at breakfast time!
"...the move to Salford, the quality and continutiy has dropped dramatically."
Are you saying it's dumber up north...:)
I think Gatland was being refreshingly honest in what he said.
There would not be anyone, in any sport, who does not think about these things (but would never own up to such thoughts) - the quality of the man is that he publicly admits such thoughts and rejected them. Honesty is a rare quality.
This thread is now locked and can not be replied to.

Panic at the pumps in West Cumbria
Last updated at 19:19, Friday, 30 March 2012
Petrol stations have been running out of diesel as motorists top up in anticipation of a possible strike by tanker drivers.
Have your say
Well done everyone for joining that long queue for petrol at Morrisons. Did anyone ever consider their stupdity of blocking the road, particulary the mini roundabout to get in and out of the area? THe same problem arises at Christmas too. The entry and exit system on this area needs re routed to avoid this probem.
Are we all stupid it certainley seems like it as in last weeks budget the Government increased the duty on fuel by another 3p a litre then immediately announced there could be strikes, which in turn nobody no is bothered about the fule hike, I saw this used in my younger days the company sent a rumopur around that there were 60 people to be paid off mass panic endured and in the end they paid 12 people off and everything went quite this is government propoganda at its best
Be honest. Some of you puritans writing on here have filled up your own vehicles! I have ... not out of panic but out of the need to be sure I can go to work. My car was only 1/8 full and I was behind a man putting £5 in his car! We all want to be ahead of the game if there is a possibility of shortages. I'm honest enough to say so that's all! I'm not a fool - I'm a business person, the fools were those who started the panic. I hae to provide for my family, and fuel is essential for my business end of. I'm not stupid enough to stockpile it in my garage as that is dangerous. Filling Stations who permit people to purchase cans of fuel are potentially breaking the law and need to be aware of this. At the end of the day if we were told there may be shortages of anything - people will stockpile. Don't judge us unless you know how important it is to us!

Atlanta, Ga. (PRWEB) October 25, 2012
Traveling is a fun, and sometimes essential, part of life. With all the destinations out there, it's important that consumers plan to protect their gadgets accordingly. Protect Your Bubble shares tips on how to travel-proof gadgets:
Extreme Temperatures – Depending on the destination, it's imperative that consumers protect their electronics from extreme cold and heat. Purchasing a weather-proof case is a great way to help the phone stay temperate. Use common sense while traveling. For instance, don't leave the device sitting on a hot beach in direct sunlight and the same goes for snowy climates. Leave the device in a safe, mild location.
Moisture – Humidity can wreak havoc on a pricey gadget. Over time, the moisture can become trapped inside the device and cause electrical shortages and water damage. Consumers should be sure to seal gadgets in airtight, sealable bags or containers to keep humidity and moisture at bay.
Rough Luggage Handling – Airport horror stories abound about checked luggage getting thrown around. That's why it's important keep gadgets protected in the suitcase. Ensure that the gadgets are tucked into the suitcase and are surrounded by soft material to absorb impact. Never keep devices in the zipped compartment on the outside panel of checked luggage. That's too risky.
Protect What Is Important – A new study found that more than 7,000 devices were lost in seven airports over a twelve month period last year. Loss and theft is a real possibility when traveling these days. It's important to protect gadgets. Protect Your Bubble offers 24-hour replacement for stolen, lost or damaged phones.

Mediocre Pie weekend/Why were my pies all dough-y?
Friday night, I and Forno Fio were all fired up. I had the dough, cheese, toppings, etc. Just as I started to press out the first dough, it started raining. Muther[nature]! I shut down, ordered takeout (BBQ, not pizza) and set my sights on Sunday. On Sunday, the weather was much better, and I got the oven REALLY HOT. The tops of the pizzas cooked in three minutes.
But the pies were soggy! The bottom of the crust was pale and chewy! Why was this when the fire was so hot!
My theory: I moved the fire off to the side TOO SOON before cooking. The bricks directly beneath the fire didnt get hot enough. I should wait longer before moving the fire, that way the center floor will get and retain enough heat to cook the bottoms properly.
Does this make sense?
Hey Fio,
This makes sense. The more I do this, talk with oven owners, and we all share our experiences, I conclude that keeping/getting the floor hot enough is one of the biggest issues. Unlike a pizzeria, where the the oven is hot 365 days a year, we need to heat up the floor from scratch each time.
Do you remember how long your fire burned and how hot the floor was when you started coooking?
Did it fall off too fast, or perhaps, was it not hot enough from the start?
If you are willing, it would be interesting to see a series of floor temperature readings after pies 1, 2, 3, etc.
Here's what I recall.
I was impatient. I burned the fire in the center for maybe a half hour or maybe less, then I kicked it over to the side. That must have been the mistake. I didn't measure the floor temp before putting the pizza on; it was as high as 700 degrees during the course of the night, but that may have been "surface" temperature, not very deep. To get deep heat, I think the thing to do is let the fire burn on top of it for a good hour or more.
Description for Pizza Oven, Roasting and Baking Environments
Found this definition. I work from a white dome perspective and flame reaching to mid dome for pizza. See other definitions.
The Pizza Oven Environment refers to an oven which has been fired to maximum temperature. The goal is to saturate the floor and dome with heat, build up a large sized bed of coals and maintain a rolling large flame. When the oven is up to temperature there is no visible black (carbon build up) on the dome and there should be a large fire going with the flame reaching the middle of the oven. If using a hand held thermometer the floor should read approximately 650 degrees. Pizzas are baked right on the floor next to the fire. The door is left off during Pizza baking and smaller pieces of wood are added approximately every 20 minutes to maintain a large flame.
Roasting Oven (floor temp 550 F)
The Roasting Oven Environment refers to an oven which has first been prepped to reach Pizza Oven temperatures and then allowed to drop in temperature. The goal is to have a deep constant heat throughout the oven for initial searing and then allow the oven to slowly drop in temperature to the desired level. There should be no visible black on the dome, a medium sized bed of coals and a small flame of 2-4" high. The door may be left off for shorter roasting times (under one hour) or positioned inside the arch opening to help regulate the heat for hours of roasting.
The door is used to regulate both the air coming in to fuel the fire and the exhaust going up the chimney. Experiment with the exact placement of the door such as to not put the fire out or to create a smoky environment. If the oven is cooling off add more wood and open the door more. Inspect food periodically during
roasting and use the different heat zones in the oven to adjust for temperature i.e., move your pan deeper into the oven for more heat or forward for less heat. Add small pieces of wood as needed to maintain temperature. Roasting temperatures may start as high as 600 degrees for initial searing and allowed to drop to no less than 450 degrees.
3. Bake Oven (floor temp 450 F)
The Bake Oven Environment refers to an oven environment which has first been prepped to reach Pizza Oven temperature for total heat saturation, possibly used for other cooking, and then allowed to drop in temperature. The goal is to create a deep even heat throughout the entire oven to allow for baking items that do no need the high heat or browning that a live fire provides. You are actually cooking with the retained heat in the oven dome and floor.
The door is positioned inside the arch to completely close the oven. There should be no live flame at this time but some live coals are ok. Maintain the fully closed oven for at least thirty minutes and then remove door to check the floor temperature. If the oven is too hot either wait or leave the door off for 5 minutes then put back in place for 5 minutes before checking temperature again. Failure to do this may give you a false reading because the deep heat in the oven will raise the floor temperature once the door is in place again. A floor temperature of 450 degrees works well for baked pastas, casseroles or fruit cobblers. To bake, simply place your dish in the oven and close the door. If there are live coals in the oven keep the door cracked so the oven doesnt get smoky. You may wish to elevate delicate items off the floor after initial searing by using a trivet or inverted sheet pan.
saturate those hearth bricks with heat!
I'm not sure the time the fire sits over the bricks matters as much as the time the whole oven is exposed to heat. I think James' previous description of building a fire that radiates heat and pushes the heat across the floor is relevant here. Especially if you have a big fire, if the floor has not been saturated with heat you end up with an imbalance of heat - yours was too hot over (although you really cannot be too hut but..) and not hot enough under. When the oven has more time to equilibrate this problem should be better. I had this happen even with a white hot dome last week, I think the white hot dome only means the dome is white hot, but the hearth bricks also need to be saturated with heat instead of just surface hot. This would be tough to measure, I think it's a feel thing. The other factor that I think I've run into is becoming better at prepping more pizza at once and keeping them moving in and out of the oven. It becomes a little harder to keep the floor hot because the pizza absorb some of that radiant heat from the fire.
It probably varies from one oven to another, but I wonder if there is a certain length of time anyone has kept their hearth at the 750 range to ensure enough time to cook multiple pizzas.
Can I suggest a covered area in front of the oven (perhaps all the way from you porch to the oven) to avoid future take out pizza? :D
I have had a lot of pizza parties since the first time that the oven was fired.
As I am an engineer, the oven has 8 thermocouples, and each fire use to result in a spreadsheet with all possible kind of data.
The oven is a round one with 41 one inches diameter, 4.5 firebrick walls and hearth and 4/5 inches of isolation all around. Of course, the overall construction is perfectly dry.
Based in those data, even if much was said in this and another threads, I would like to add that the hearth temperature took 1 and half hour to go from ambient to 400°C (750°F), the ceiling reaches the 650°C (1200°F) and the ambient temperature (with flamed embers) in the dome goes near of 1000°C (1800°F).
Far go the flames, higher the temperature. However, the growing rate goes down. The maximum temperature that I had measured on the hearth was 450°C (850°F) less than a minute pizza with a strong fire going by 2 and half hours.
Another important fact is that the hearth (on the cleaned place of pizza position) has a fast increment in the final temperature when the fire is relocated to the side.
This is because the flames and the hot gases go high up, and the wood that was over the hearth offered a kind of shield to the hearth. When the wood is relocated, the flames from the side, running around all the rounded ceiling of the dome return to floor, plus the irradiated heat from the dome to the floor affects the hearth temperature to go higher.
When the target temperature was reached, just a few embers on the side are going to maintain the hearth and ambient temperature by several hours.
My oven has a constant temperature about the 400/410°C (800°F) by all the party time (3 or four hours).
Returning to Fio´s first question, could not your dough temperature be to cold? Or the dough had been so thin and the toppings been cold over it? I am pretty sure that your pizza was soggy because the dough management, and not the oven temperature.
Just my two cents, I hope this help.
hot numbers
Luis, I am staggered at the temperatures you reach in your oven, this emboldens me to perhaps try larger fires - I have seen the oven hearth actually drop a little in temperature after about 30 minutes when the fire has died down a little during the preheat sometimes from 750 back down to 700. I thought the 750 might be a threshold that I would not be able to surpass, but with your higher hearth temperatures I may try to push it past this during the preheat.
I'm surprised to hear your observation that the fire over the cooking surface actually slows down heating of the hearth - I would have expected it just not to help, but not to shield it from heating.
Where in the hearth bricks are your thermocouples? Are they in the surface layer, the middle, or under the bricks (it sounds like you might actually have several of these locations measured)?
I'm understanding that you fire your oven for 2 1/2 to four hours to reach pizza cooking temperatures - what does your hearth temperature vs time graph look like (hopefully with a superficial and a deep hearth reading)? Can you graph this (even a plot of several data points would be helpful) with a corresponding thermocouple or two in the dome at the interior surface of the oven?
While different ovens will perform differently at heating, your data could really help provide a concrete basis to oven management. I've cooked pizza in a little over an hour from the time I start my fire, and can get away with this with small amounts of pizza cooked, but I certainly have had a falloff of hearth temperature towards the end of my cooking despite having a flame in my oven 3/4 of the way to the apex of the dome. I have seen better crust when I have preheated the oven more than 1 1/2 hours. For bigger parties it sounds like the 3-4 hour preheat may be needed.
Thank you for your two cents, I think you've changed my understanding of this significantly.
Though mine is a bread oven, I've found using thermocouples invaluable for measuring mass heat. I can get to hearth brick readings of the 700 F range fairly quickly, but the mass heat simply is not high enough to bake repeatedly unless my slab and cladding are at the 450 range for each. I have a thermocouple in the hearth bricks, one inch below the cooking surface; one in the slab; one in the dome, about one inch above the brick surface, and one in the middle of the cladding. These readings, to me, mean a lot more that the surface readings given by an IR gun.
Food for thought.
There are in this forum several post from me, most of them referring to thermocouples installation and measures of these.
There are Excel graphs too, that you could use as reference to observe the oven behavior.
The main (most widely used ones) thermocouples in my oven are installed in the hearth, 1cm (0.3 inches) two of these, one in front and another in rear - below the surface. Same deep to the thermocouple installed in the center of the dome. I read an ambient temperature too.
Since the hearth thermocouples are near of the floor/ceiling, my readings are normally a little higher than others in this forum. (If I recall, there is a conversation with James about this).
If you go to the graphics, it is possible to see that the temperature of the hearth is not reaching the 400°C (800°F). This is because I use to heat the oven no more than 11/2 hours before baking pizzas to the family.
When a big party is being prepared, this time goes to 2 hours, rising the temperatures.
And yes, in my experience, the embers over the point of measure shield the heat to go down.
The management of the fire is, in few words, as following: a little fire begins in the front of the oven. Several stems (4/5 inches) are added almost immediately. As the fire grows up, this embers are pushed to the rear of the oven. More stems (3 or 4). Big fire. Temperature rising up. Embers to the side of the oven. Hearth brushed and cleaned. Temperature of the hearth rising up again. Pizza.
I am writing results about a pizza party for 35 invitees that was carried out this last week end and I am going to touch this subject again.
OK Luis, thanks, I did not see the graph before, I found one posted 7-15-06 at 5am. If I am reading it properly, the oven was heated about 1 hour (ambient temperature rising), then the fire was allowed to die out (ambient temperature falling steadily). Your hearth temperature (piso is hearth?) rose steadily for a while after the ambient temperature began to drop and reached 750 at about the two to three hour mark in this case depending on the thermocouple looked at. I also read your 35 person party post where you noted it is usually about 1 1/2 hours to reach 750 for your hearth thermocouples.
Jim, I appreciate your comments as well, if I ever make another oven I will include thermocouples. I suppose if I decided I really needed to I could drill through my concrete hearth slab into the bricks from below. You and Luis both have the thermal mass layer under your bricks rather than an insulating layer as I have. I wonder how much time difference there is in saturating the hearth bricks with no extra thermal mass under the hearth bricks. My take away from this is to definitely give more time for the hearth to fully heat up if more than 10 pizza are planned (I usually cook 2 at a time) to prevent heat dropoff in the hearth.

Introducing "Bucket Filling" to Your Students
- Grades: 3–5
At the beginning of the school year, many teachers take time to create class rules with the help of the students. It is during this time that we read the book Have You Filled a Bucket Today? The short book explains to students that we all carry an invisible bucket in which we keep our feelings about ourselves. When our buckets are full, we are happy; when they are empty, we are sad. It is important that students learn that when they fill a friend's bucket, they also fill their own bucket because it feels good to make others happy.
At this time, we also introduce the concept of being a bucket dipper. A bucket dipper is a person who hurts other people's feelings, essentially dipping into their invisible bucket. Since bullying is a common problem in schools, the concept of bucket dippers is often referred to as bullying.
After we read the book and discuss the idea of filling buckets, we brainstorm a list of ways we can fill each other's buckets both in our classroom and around our school. After making the list on chart paper, we type up the students' ideas and create a poster that is hung above our bucket-filling display.
Comments (3)
This is a terrific idea! Does Scholastic sell the book?It would be great to view your poster for ways to fill the bucket,I sure would like to know if I am missing any thing,too.
Wonderful idea, I can't read the things you wrote however, sure would like to know if I am missing anything!
Hi Beth,
I am a fellow Michigan teacher, teaching basic resource 5/6th grade students in Brighton. At this age/grade, students at times can be unkind to another, so I am planning to start off the beginning of the school year with this theme. I am curious as to your 'ways to fill a bucket'. My students need concrete examples and I think having written examples of this is a good way to get them started, but I am having difficulty reading your picture. I will of course be adding the common-sense ideas, but was just curious what yours had in case I missed something. Thanks so much!

Hello readers, welcome to the another edition of the environment page of this paper. In this edition, we would like to share with our wider readership some of the most fundamental benefits as well as challenges surrounding the sanitation of our environment.
Environmental sanitation is very vital for any nation and in order to live a world free from diseases, we must task ourselves in a more collaborative and more sustained ways to frequently embark on general cleaning exercises in our houses, homes and our communities. In the Gambia we must admit that the monthly cleaning exercise has paid dividend. Health experts have indicated that the initiative has drastically reduced the burden of malarial diseases and other health related issues.
Moreover, environmental sanitations are activities aimed at improving or maintaining the standard of basic environmental condition affecting the well-being of peoples - These conditions may includethe following observations: (1) clean and safe water supply, (2) clean and safe ambient air, (3) efficient and safe animal, human, and industrial waste disposal, (4) protection of food from biological and chemical contaminants, and (5) adequate housing in clean and safe surroundings, which environmental experts referred to as environmental hygiene.
What is Environmental Sanitation?
According to experts, environmental sanitation is a set of actions geared towards improving the quality of the environment and reducing the amount of disease. By doing so, the hope is that living conditions will improve and health problems will decrease. The management of water, solid waste, and industrial waste, as well as the topic of pollution and noise control, all fall under the umbrella of environmental sanitation.
Importance of sanitation
The importance of sanitation cannot be over outlined, but it involves both household and environmental sanitations. Household sanitation also involves household food safety, and the maintenance of clean living conditions which do not promote the spread of disease. This includes general cleaning in our places where we keep food.
Other areas of specialty can include environmental sanitation, which involves limiting environmental contributors to the spread of disease, commercial food safety in facilities like restaurants and farms, and hospital safety. This can also include isolating wells to prevent them from being contaminated, securing water supplies from outside the community, and developing a safe network of pipes to deliver water to residents.
Sanitation departments must also concern themselves with garbage. Most urban areas have a garbage collection service, allowing citizens to set out their garbage on a specific day for teams of collectors who will gather it and deliver it to a processing facility.
Challenges of sanitations
Environmental sanitation comprises disposal and treatment of human excreta, solid waste and wastewater. It also comprises the control of disease vectors, and also the provision of washing facilities for personal and domestic hygiene. All these are aims at improving the quality of life of the individuals and contributing to social development.
It has been defined by the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council as Interventions to reduce people's exposure to disease by providing a clean environment in which to live, with measures to break the cycle of disease. Environmental sanitation comprises both a change in behaviour and facilities to form a hygienic environment.
However, it is a truism that a significant number of people worldwide lack access to adequate water, sanitation, drainage, and solid waste disposal services. The latest statistics reveal that 1.1 billion people still do not have access to safe drinking water, and 2.4 billion people do not have access to adequate sanitation.
Furthermore, research has shown that in many urban areas of developing countries, less than 50% of the municipal solid wastes are collected and only an insignificant fraction is disposed off appropriately. This not only increases the rate of diseases and mortality, but also slows down the economic progress of hundreds of millions of people in developing countries. At the same time, the world's natural supply of freshwater is subject to increasing environmental and economic pressure.
According to United Nations Population Fund, 2007, urbanization in Africa has been phenomenal and puzzling with a rapid shift from 15% in 1950 to about 41% urban currently. It is estimated that by 2030, the continent may attain 54% urban. Not only are there more people living in cities but the cities themselves are becoming larger and more numerous.
Waste Management
Environmental experts have indicated that environmental conditions of a given area may be affected by waste management, the process used to dispose of garbage. How waste is disposed of varies based on living conditions and the accepted standard of living in a geographical area.
While some communities provide wastewater treatment and trash collection, others do not, which reduces the ability to control the well-being of the environment and its people. When waste is not removed and treated properly, pollution may lead to the spread of disease; when proper disposal and treatment methods are followed, disease and pollution can usually be reduced.
Solid Waste Management
Every day, people throw away a large amount of garbage, which is usually referred to as solid waste. In many countries, some form of solid waste management system has been put in place. Some common ways to dispose of the garbage include incarceration, which is the burning of waste, or landfills, which are places to store waste.

Yes, County Needs A Commission For Women
On Jan. 22, I attended a meeting at the Carroll County Office Building with the intention of hearing well-meaning persons debate the concerns on the Carroll County Commission on Women.
Yes, County Needs A Commission For Women
On Jan. 22, I attended a meeting at the Carroll County Office Building with the intention of hearing well-meaning persons debate the concerns on the Carroll County Commission on Women.
I listened as I stood against the wall in the back of this crowded room. After listening to those persons "for" the commission speak, I felt they had hit upon an area which desperately needs attention here in the county. . . .
Then I listened, with gritted teeth, to the opposition. It is so amazing how people choose to think or not think. Many who opposed did so because they did not want "their tax dollars" to be used in this manner. . . . We allow "our tax dollars" to be spent in less important ways. For example: How many of us will get the opportunity to live on the moon? Yet we watch millions of "our tax dollars" go up in smoke every time NASA decides to send a few persons and some metal devices through the atmosphere. We watch "our tax dollars" being sent to other countries to cure what ails them when we can't or won't take care of "home." We watch "our tax dollars" being pleasured away by so-called hard-working politicians, as they "do" lunch and dinner and the ,, taxpayer picks up the tab.
Those persons who spoke against this commission, especially the women, may not need or want someone to speak for them . . . These persons who were opposed were dressed neatly, most spoke fluently, and more than likely they have warm homes, transportation, and know when and from where their next paycheck will come. These persons may also have some family members or friends who can either shell out a couple hundred bucks or more when the need arises or they may know how to borrow it.
The persons who need an advocate were not present in large numbers at this meeting. Those needing someone to speak for (( them would not have been noticed in a positive light. Those in need are the women who are unable to stand up in a crowded room and speak, or they are the women who go the grocery store and use food stamps to shop while being scrutinized terribly by others with cash or a checkbook in their hands. Those women in need are the women who wait patiently for a monthly check because there is no child support or not enough support coming in on a regular basis, or they may be the women who have to deal with the degradation from a social worker who looks down upon her every six months when she must appear in the office of Social Services. . . .
It's fantastic if you are able to speak out for yourself, but do not make it harder for those who are in need of help from others. If you have the necessities in life, than you have been truly blessed. . . . The downfall of this country, from poverty to crime, is due to greed. And in this case, the majority rules.
Crickit R. Cook-Cook
The public forum held by our local legislators was apparently the largest and most vocal the legislators have ever seen. The hot issue was the request to establish a Carroll County Commission For Women. I was there to support the commission, and I found the open hostility of the opposition unnerving.
It became quickly obvious to me that its opposition was based on the unfounded fear that the Carroll County Commission For Women was backed by a group of "radical, liberal feminists." Its fear was fueled by attempts to link the supporters with the National Organization For Women (NOW). One woman spoke about these groups promoting homosexual and lesbian rights. . . . Naturally, we were shocked at such unfounded comparisons of the Carroll County Commission For Women with NOW. . . .
The recurring concerns expressed by the opponents were that this group would receive government funding, would not represent their views and would become a powerful lobbying organization.
I believe that the first concern was a valid one. However, the steering committee of the Carroll County Commission For Women had long ago accepted the fact that no funding would be available because of economic conditions.
The second concern was not valid. The members of the steering committee have varied political, religious, marital and employment backgrounds. In addition, the commissioners will have the right to choose half of the commission members. . . .
The third concern seems to revolve around the fear that this group will have too much "lobbying power." The main purpose of the commission is to provide women with a "clearing house" of information. . . .
Let us look beyond the unfounded fears which were fueled by misinformation. The time has come for Carroll County to establish a Commission For Women.

A Mombasa Court has directed the probation office to file a detailed report on the conduct and background of a prison warder who is accused of trafficking heroin.
Probation officer Fred Musyimi had informed the court that the time allocated for his office to present a pre-bail report on Shafa Abdi when he was charged on Monday, was short.
Chief Magistrate Rosemelle Mutoka had instructed the office to file the report yesterday, but they sought more time saying they had not been able to get interviews from some of the accused's relatives.
Mutoka directed that the report include remarks from Abdi's boss at Shimo La Tewa prison before the court can make its decision.
The court also wanted the probation department to ascertain whether the suspect, who resides at the prisons quarters, can get alternative accommodation in case the consideration is made.
"We also need to know his family background and any other details that can assist this court," Mutoka said.
Abdi who was represented by lawyer Jared Magolo was charged with trafficking in 10.4 grammes of heroin with a street value of Sh25,000 on February 19 at Coast General Hospital in Mombasa.
"We received the file late yesterday afternoon and it was difficult to trace some of the relatives, we request for more time," Musyimi said.
The magistrate said it was vital for information from the employer to be presented in the report before the court makes its verdict.
The warder is being detained at Shimo La Tewa prison where he works, pending a determination on the pre-bail.
Magolo confirmed to court that he was not opposed to the application by the probation department seeking more time.
The case will be mentioned on February 25.

34 year old man | Arvada, CO, USA | Seeking women 25-35 within 50 miles
New to Colorado, looking for some good conversation.
I'm brand new to Colorado and looking to enjoy everything it has to offer with someone who either knows their way around or is as open to discovery as I am. I'm very into movies and I'm a big music junkie too. I'm a musician myself, although I haven't found my niche in CO yet. I play piano and sing, majored in music in college, and trombone is my primary instrument. I don't have a car because I'd much rather ride my bike or take the bus. I do exercise, but I'm not what I'd call athletic and I'm not into sports. I do, however, like going to sporting events with someone I can laugh with and have a good time even if it has nothing to do with the spot we're watching. I have been sober for a couple years, so no partying, but I still have a lot of fun and laugh a lot. I love to sing and be weird, but also have great conversations about movies, culture, spirituality, anything. I've dated women with kids before and although I love kids and probably do want my own some day, I've found that its difficult to focus on getting to know someone who has kids. That doesn't mean it's a deal breaker at all, it just means I've learned to be careful. I'd love to meet someone who also loves music, movies, and enjoying simple, low-key time spent walking, talking, drinking coffee, eating ice cream, going to concerts and special cinema screenings, museums, anything culture related or out-doorsie, and most of all laughing. A moderate drinker is fine, but I do mean moderate, and, unfortunately, someone who smokes weed just wouldn't work for me. But honestly, as someone in recovery I don't need substances to be able to have a good time or see the surreality of life. A positive outlook on life is important, but it's also important to have a great sense of humor and be able to laugh at the dark side of things. I do have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, but I'm not an angry or depressive person. I have low expectations for this online dating experiment, but I guess it's worth a shot.

I exercise 5 or more times per week.

I recently discovered the Sie Film Institute in Denver, but haven't be here long enough to find much more. I'd love to check out the museums and hiking trails.
Movies: Royal Tenenbaums, Eternal Sunshine, Coen Bros, Tarantino, Terrence Mallick, Kubrick, Woody Allen, Scorsese. Music: Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Beatles, CCR, jazz, classical. TV: Seinfeld, The Office, Modern Family, Arrested Development, 30 Rock.
I go to a lot of movies, I spend a lot of time riding my bike or walking around the city listening to music and podcasts, I do like TV, but I'm not a junkie, I love going to concerts, musicals, performances if any kind.
Been reading 'Man Up' by comedian Ross Matthews, but before that was Galapagos by Vonnegut. My favorites are Catcher in the Rye and Great Gatsby. Cliche, I know, but they're classics and the only books I've read multiple times.

A fun small project that can be finished in about an hour. I found the pattern at freeprintable.com. They have several other gift box patterns.
Step 1: Setup, Find and Print your Pattern
I needed a glass board for cutting on, a small razor knife (scissors would work as well), a steel ruler, a large pair of straight hemostats (optional) and a tube of super glue. You want to use heavy cardstock as opposed to regular printer paper.
The pattern from freeprintable.com is where i started. But I wanted to change the exterior decoration. You can find hundreds of websites to get something you like. I picked a colorful exterior and then a black and white floral for the interior. You establish the interior by printing on the reverse side of the sheet.
Step 3: Crease the Fold Lines
Using the razor knife and the straight edge, form the crease lines.
Place the ruler on the line and run the back edge of the razor down the line applying firm pressure.
Step 4: Copy the Pattern to your Designer Sheet
Place the red cutout pattern over the designer sheet that you picked.
Then just cut out the sheet just as before.
Step 5: Prefold your Box
Go over each crease and break the paper to establish the folds.
All the folds are made toward the interior of the box.
Step 6: Connect the Sides
Apply a line of super glue along the tab and glue the sides together.
This is where I use the hemostats to hold the parts together.
You could just as easily hold them together by hand.
Step 7: Fold and Glue the Bottom
Fold the bottom "U" shaped flap in, followed by the angled flaps.
Tuck in the tab through the "U" slot. You may have to trim the tab down a bit to get it to fit properly.
Once it's folded, put a drop of glue under the tab to hold it firmly together.
Depending on what you want to put in the box, you may need a small platform. For example, I was using this gift box for earrings.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
CAMP TIGERLAND, Iraq, Jan. 29, 2005 "It's all about services," said Army Capt. Jessy Yeates, manager of essential services for the 256th Brigade Combat Team. "It's all about getting services to the people."
The captain, assigned to the brigade's 1088th Engineer Battalion, is responsible for improving electrical, water, sewage and medical services to hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in the 256th's area of operations west of Baghdad, Iraq.
Yeates and his team are at the heart of Gen. George Casey's counterinsurgency strategy. The general, commander of Multinational Force Iraq, says it is impossible to win a counterinsurgency campaign with military force alone. All aspects of national will -- economic, political, military and communications -- must work in concert to defeat insurgents.
The 1088th is responsible for more than $11 million in humanitarian aid projects throughout the area. The projects directly benefit Iraqis where they live. "Our biggest project is a nine-kilometer pipeline that will bring clean drinking water to Suba al Bor," Yeates said.
The former regime built the village to house about 25,000 veterans of the Iran- Iraq War. It now has a population of three times that amount. "Because of the demand, they have no water pressure in places where pipes run," Yeates said. "There are other homes with no distribution system or water."
The project brings water from a canal. The pipeline starts at 18 inches in diameter and changes down to 12 inches. "For whatever reason, they don't use water towers here," Yeates said. "So narrowing the pipe and putting in a pumping station will increase the water pressure to the population."
Local Iraqis did the work on the line. Iraqi engineers at Baghdad University did the quality control and served as consultants for the project. All that needs to happen is for generators to fire up, and clean water will start flowing in Suba al Bor.
And it may change some attitudes. "They don't like us there," Yeates said. "They see us as occupiers. But maybe they will see these projects as a benefit and we can get them to work with us.
"We won't get them to love us, but we will gain their confidence," he said.
The insurgents see these projects as threats. Yeates said a local power station was finally starting to approach generating capacity. The insurgents blew up the gas pipeline supplying the plant.
In other areas, infrastructure is poor or non-existent. In Abu Jadhial, the unit is investing in installing new substations and transmission lines. They are also hooking up houses to lines correctly. In some cases, inhabitants had tapped in to the power lines using concertina wire. "All of that is going to be dependent on getting the national electrical grid on line," Yeates said.
Most of the money being spent is in water projects. He estimates that by the end of February all people in the region, with very few exceptions, should have clean drinking water. Another project is putting a four-kilometer long pipeline in to the village of Hor al Bash.
The unit is also working on refurbishing schools. There are 17 schools in Suba al Bor. Sixteen of those need major work, and the unit is contracting for the work.
The unit built an addition on the local medical clinic in Suba al Bor, too. "When we first got there, you couldn't find a doctor or a patient," Yeates said. "We invested $200,000 in equipment, funded the addition, got a hold of two ambulances and a pick-up truck for them. The place is jumping. There is already talk of building a pediatric portion for the clinic.
"We will drive on," he said.

That's it, no more running advice from me...

Well we are now entering our autumn (not that we actually had a summer) and the conditions in which I prefer to run are returning. If I could get the cooler evenings but the sun stayed put until about 9pm then everything would be perfect.
I repeated the route on which I had my arse kicked (ROWIHMAK) over a week ago on my own ... and actually ran it slower by about two minutes. I also used my Garmin Forerunner and it was about half a mile shorter than I'd estimated.
The Forerunner had me running at a pretty slow pace but it is totally inaccurate round here. Warning if you consider buying one.
But I felt much more comfortable rather than being close to spontaneous human combustion, some of the trickier bits of the trail were in almost complete darkness so I had to walk a little to find my way through some undergrowth and I hit my top gear for the home run much earlier.
So, good
bad. But mainly good.
Then I went out on Monday night and did a 3 mile benchmark run and coasted a PB. Thought I was running slowly. That time had stood for about 4 years. And nothing ached afterwards.
Did a 5 minute on, 1 minute off for 30 minutes session yesterday and covered a pretty decent distance.
Lesson: Lots of sprints, circuits, cycling, conditioning stuff etc. do not translate to banging out 10k times with impunity. Build up to it.
I will retest the ROWIHMAK in a few weeks and
eventually knock 10 minutes off my time. And my girlfriend will suffer.

YIELD: Makes 3 (16-inch-long) loaves
ACTIVE TIME: 30 min
TOTAL TIME: 2 1/2 hr (includes cooling)
Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in middle.
Blend flours, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, and butter in a large bowl with a pastry blender or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. 3Stir in buttermilk and eggs until a smooth dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 pieces. Form each piece into a 16-inch-long log and arrange, evenly spaced, on a lightly floured baking sheet. Generously sprinkle with flour and cut 3 diagonal shallow slashes on each log with a very sharp knife.
Bake 30 minutes, then reduce oven to 375°F and continue to bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted into center of a loaf comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Transfer loaves to a rack to cool. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Cooks' note: Soda bread is best the day it is made, but loaves can be tightly wrapped in 2 layers of foil and frozen 1 month. Refresh, wrapped in foil, in a 325°F oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Game 2 Notes & Links: Illinois vs. Jacksonville State
Nov. 9, 2013
Coaching Staff
Series Notes vs. Jacksonville State
Notes from Friday's Season-Opening Win Over Alabama State
2. Illinois won its 23rd straight non-conference game at State Farm Center, and extended its home court winning streak in regular-season non-conference games to 34 in a row.
3. Junior Rayvonte Rice tallied a team-high 22 points, equaling the most points in an Illini debut since Brandon Paul scored 22 points against SIU-Edwardsville to open the 2009-10 season. Rice also had nine rebounds and shot 9-of-10 from the free throw line in his first regular season game for the Orange and Blue.
4. When including his production from Drake, Rice topped the 1,000-career point mark against Alabama State. Rice scored 983 points at Drake, entering Friday night 17 shy of 1,000. He recorded the 17th of his 22 points on the first of two free throws with 14:20 remaining in the second half.
5. Junior Nnanna Egwu registered the second consecutive double-double of his career with 10 points and a game-high 10 rebounds. Egwu recorded his first double-double in the final game last season with 12 points and 12 rebounds versus Miami in the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
6. Seven of Egwu's 10 rebounds came on the offensive end. That equaled his career best, as he also had seven offensive boards against Miami in last year's NCAA Tournament.
7. Senior Joseph Bertrand also scored in double figures with 14 points along with eight boards. It marked his best offensive performance since tallying a season-high 17 points last year against Wisconsin (Feb. 3).
8. In all, the trio of Rice, Egwu and Bertrand combined for 46 points on 16-of-27 shooting with 27 rebounds.
9. The Illini dominated the boards, outrebounding Alabama State 52-28. It was Illinois' highest rebounding total since grabbing 54 vs. Loyola-Md. on Dec. 28, 2007. The UI's +24 rebound margin against the Hornets, meanwhile, was its largest advantage on the glass since +29 (48-19) against Presbyterian on Nov. 21, 2009.
10. Much of Illinois' aggressiveness on the boards occurred on the offensive glass. Illinois collected 20 of its own misses, turning those into 22 points. The Illini enjoyed a +20 advantage in second-chance points (22-2), its largest margin in that statistic since +23 (31-18) versus Duke in Maui on Nov. 20, 2007.
11. While the Illini shot just 4-of-20 from beyond the arc, the Orange and Blue shot 23-of-41 (56.1 percent) on two-pointers.
12. All 11 available players on the roster logged double-figure minutes and entered the scoring column. The seven players who made their UI debut combined for 41 of Illinois' 80 points: Rice (22), Malcolm Hill (7), Austin Colbert (4), Kendrick Nunn, Maverick Morgan, Jaylon Tate and Jon Ekey (2 each).
13. For the second straight year, the Orange Krush student section and Illini fans at State Farm Center paid tribute to Coach Groce's alma mater, Taylor University, in a unique way. The Krush replicated Taylor's famous tradition of "Silent Night," where the entire gym remains silent from tip-off until the Trojans score their 10th point. When that 10th point is scored, the crowd then erupts into a wild celebration. The Illini faithful executed their version, called "Orange Hush", staying quiet for the Illini's first eight points before erupting in cheers when senior Joseph Bertrand hit a baseline jumper at the 16:04 mark for Illinois' ninth and tenth points of the game.
New Look Illini
The Illini lost their top two scorers from last year's squad in Brandon Paul and D.J. Richardson, and are without five of the top eight scorers overall. In fact, Illinois returns just 36.1 percent of its points, 36.7 percent of its rebounds and 38.4 percent of its minutes played from the 2012-13 campaign.
But while there are many new faces in the locker room, Groce's second Illini squad also includes key veterans whose experience will lead the way into the 2013-14 season.
Returning for the Orange and Blue
Abrams showed rapid improvement as a sophomore, increasing his scoring average by more than six points to rank third on the team in scoring with an average of 10.6 points per game. Abrams scored in double figures 22 times, led by a career-high 27-point outing against Auburn at the United Center to earn Big Ten Player of the Week honors. In addition to his improved scoring, Abrams also led the Illini in assists (3.4 apg) and steals (1.4 spg), ranking among Big Ten leaders in both categories.
Like Abrams, Egwu also made major strides during his sophomore season. Starting all but one game, Egwu averaged 6.5 points and led the Illini in rebounding with an average of 4.9 boards. He also ranked fourth in the Big Ten with 49 blocked shots. Egwu recorded his first career double-double in his last appearance, totaling 12 points and a career-high 12 rebounds against Miami in the NCAA Tournament. Egwu spent the summer bulking up, adding nearly 20 pounds to his frame.
One of just two seniors on the squad suiting up this season - and the only one who has spent his entire career with the Illini - Bertrand brings athleticism and a wealth of experience to the roster. He ranked fourth on the team in scoring (7.3 ppg) and third in rebounding (4.1 rpg) while shooting better than 50 percent on the season.
Walk-on Mike LaTulip made impressive strides in the offseason both in the weight room and with conditioning. Known for his shooting, LaTulip also could be looked upon to provide depth at the point guard.
Reinvented Rice
Ekey Adds Experience
Groce Lands Star Class in First Year
Nunn is a top-75 recruit who helped lead Chicago Simeon to four straight state titles. An exceptional athlete, he averaged 14.7 points and 7.3 rebounds as a senior, earning All-State honors. Nunn also has experience at the international level, winning gold medals with USA Basketball at the FIBA Americas U16 Championship in 2011 and the FIBA U17 Wold Championship in 2012.
Hill also is a top-75 recruit who put up incredible numbers at Belleville East. He averaged 25.3 points as a senior and is East's all-time leading scorer with 2,067 career points. Hill was a consensus all-state selection and finished third in voting for Illinois Mr. Basketball. He has the ability to score in various ways from different spots on the court.
Tate teamed up with Nunn on Simeon's state championship teams each of the last two seasons. The floor leader led Simeon in assists with an average of 7.3 per game while also contributing 8.3 points per contest. Tate is a true point guard known for his competitiveness and ability to create for teammates.
While the three freshmen on the perimeter all hail from the state of Illinois, the staff went east to sign their frontcourt. Colbert is a top-100 recruit who averaged 12.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.5 blocks at Gill St. Bernard's in New Jersey. Standing 6-9 and with a long wing span, Colbert is an athletic, versatile forward.
Morgan averaged 24.7 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.9 blocks as a senior at Springboro High School, just outside of Dayton, Ohio. He was named Ohio's Division I Player of the Year by the Ohio Basketball Coaches Association. The 6-10, 250-pound Morgan already has a solid frame and will provide a physical presence and depth in the post.
Trio of Transfers Await their Time
Starks played the last three seasons at Oregon State. He was a career double-figure scorer (10.2 ppg) and left as the Beavers all-time leader in 3-point field goals with 185. Illinois petitioned the NCAA to grant Starks immediate eligibility, but his hardship waiver was denied. Starks will have one season remaining next year.
Cosby was a two-year starter at Seton Hall, and like Starks, a career-double figure scorer. Cosby averaged 10.1 points for the Pirates and drained 132 three-pointers while shooting nearly 39 percent from behind the arc. Cosby will have two seasons of eligibility left beginning next year.
The younger brother of former UI star Brandon Paul, Darius Paul had an excellent first season at Western Michigan, earning Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year honors after averaging 10.4 points and 5.7 rebounds. Paul will have three seasons to play with the Illini starting next year.

Thanks to all. I discovered that the ringtones were set at "hidden" for some reason. Unchecking this attribute allowed them to show up.
Rapid, I still would request "cloudy tone" be cooked into the windows directory, so that the default alarm and count down timer will work out of the box.

I love tomatoes because, even when they're as tiny as these ones, you get that fabulous fresh tomato smell as soon as you touch the leaves. I think that's the main reason that I never buy horrible, bland supermarket tomatoes which smell of nothing and are almost totally tasteless.
These seedlings were planted almost two weeks ago and are nearly big enough to re-potted. They'll probably need at least another month in the house until it's warm enough to move them into the greenhouse - it isn't heated you see.
I'm trying 5 different varieties this year:
Totem is a great cherry tomato which is a bush variety so perfect to take home in a pot for the patio, or to give to other aspiring vegetable growers who are lacking space.
San Marzano is a traditional Italian plum tomato which I grew last year but had no real luck with due to blossom end rot - this is when the end of the tomato goes brown and rotten normally because the soil that it's standing in has dried out too much. This would make sense as it was virtually impossible to keep grow bags moist last summer because the greenhouse was getting so hot. I'm hoping for betetr luck this year and will be growing in pots instead of grow bags which should be easier to keep moist - but not too wet or the tomatoes will be big but tasteless.
Alicante is a really popular salad tomato which is supposed to be a great cropper. I've never grown it before but lots of my allotment neighbours seemed to have real success with it last year so I'm going to give it a try.
Chadwick Cherry is a cherry tomato which I grew last year and it was the most successful one I tried. Funnily enough though, not a single seed has germinated in this planting so I'll have to try some more this weekend.
Principe Borghese are another that I'm trying for the first time this year. They're an Italian variety which is supposed to be very productive and perfect to eat with mozzarella or in salads. It's also meant to be great for sun drying and I've got an Antonio Carluccio recipe for doing them in the oven which I'd really like to try so I hope I have some luck with them.
I'll pot them up into their own pots this weekend then they'll be moved into their big pots in the greenhouse (the biggest I can get) when they're between 20cm and 30cm. Tomatoes have got the reputation of being a real fiddle to grow, and if you're after prize winners I'm sure they are, but with just enough water and sun you can't go wrong.
