National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete says she has asked Members of Parliament belonging to opposition party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), to give reasons why they should not be suspended for disrupting a sitting of the National Assembly last week.
The Speaker said this on Tuesday ahead of a Parliamentary Debate on the downgrade of the country's credit rating, the negative outlook assigned by Fitch and the first quarter contraction in South Africa's Gross Domestic Product.
Mbete said she has referred the incident, which led to President Jacob Zuma's oral reply to questions during a House sitting being disrupted on Thursday last week, to the Powers and Privileges Committee in Parliament.
"I have to inform the House that the matter is being referred to the Powers and Privileges Committee ... The Committee is to investigate whether the conduct of the Economic Freedom Fighters constitutes contempt of Parliament in terms of the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Act of 2004," she said.
Last week, the EFF - led by its leader Julius Malema - disrupted proceedings when they expressed their dissatisfaction over how President Zuma responded to a question over his response to the Public Protector's report on security upgrades done at his Nkandla residence.
The sitting had to be adjourned after EFF members defied the Speaker's instruction to vacate the chambers for undermining Parliamentary rules, and instead chanted slogans and sang struggle songs.
Mbete said the committee had been requested to deal with the investigation as a matter of urgency.
"Honourable members, while the Powers and Privileges Committee is considering the matter, I wish to inform the House that I am considering the implementation of item 10 of the schedule to the rules, which makes provision for the suspension of members where the allegations against them are of a very serious nature.
"To this end, I am affording the members involved an opportunity to give reasons in writing why they should not be suspended. The House will be kept informed of developments in this regard," she said.
Earlier today, Ministers in the Justice, Crime Prevention and Security (JCPS) Cluster briefed members of the media on the disruptions in Parliament.
Cluster Ministers said they have instructed their senior officials to make recommendations on how to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
Defence and Military Veterans Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said the cluster, which also heads up security in Parliament, supports a robust democracy and debate, including questions put to the executive.
"But that must be done in a dignified manner. Even if there are disagreements, it must be done within the confines of the law and out of respect of the institution."

Here he is: Mr. Fall TV! Joshua Jackson—bless his sweet and witty soul—is back on our TVs this season in Fox's fabulous new series Fringe, premiering Tuesday at 8 p.m., so when you say your prayers tonight, throw in a thank you to the TV gods for J.J.'s return, but for now, click in to see what he has to say about his new gig and about being back on a regular series.
Who He Is: Who is Josh Jackson? Josh Jackson is Pacey! Josh Jackson is the cute one from Mighty Ducks! Josh Jackson is the platinum-blond gay from Cruel Intentions!
Where to Meet Him: Josh is back on television beginning next week! Tune in to Fox on Tuesday at 8 p.m. for Fringe, the new sci-fi series from J.J. Abrams and Transformers writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Josh's character, Peter Bishop, is the approachable, colloquial middleman who translates his mad-scientist father's ramblings for the audience, while pitching in with Olivia Dunham's (Anna Torv) difficult and dangerous investigations into the mysterious "Pattern."
Why You'll Love Him: You'll love him for being the voice of the common man on Fringe, for being consistently hilarious—the man can deliver a smartass punch line more reliably than almost any other leading man on TV—and for being, if you're anything like me, one of your all-time favorite TV boyfriends. They do say you never forget your first love...
Thank god you're back on TV.
Oh, thank you. It's nice to be back on TV, especially doing something like this, which is great.
What's exciting you about Fringe right now?
I get to work with these amazing actors other actors—Lance Reddick, Anna Torv, John Noble—and then you also get to deal with these wildly outlandish scenarios, and that's something I've never done before.
What other shows is Fringe like? X-Files?
The content of the show is X-Files-esque, but it touched on more supernatural themes, and ours is not that. And then the dynamic of the show is different. Anna's playing an FBI agent, but I'm not an FBI agent, and you have this other fantastic character of my father, Walter Bishop, so the dynamic is wildly different...
Are you and Anna Torv's character, Olivia, going to be in love?
I don't know—people above my pay grade get to make those decisions. It doesn't seem like we're headed in that direction. It doesn't feel like it—it's tough to answer the question because, Id have to tell you the storylines, but it would be, let's say, inappropriate for our two characters—at this point.
Are you saying that telling me storylines would be a bad thing?
I would become an ex-castmember of Fringe.
Press play above to check out a little more Josh goodness and then post in the comments if you love Señor Jackson too...

I have been out of town for a week have they announced when they are going to start selling playoff tickets.
Link anywhere?
WS ticket prices.. OUCH!!!!
No matter how much I love the Reds.....I would not take out a loan to take my family to a WS game. What a shame.
WS tickets are going to be scalped for prices like that anyway. I'd rather see MLB getting that money than scalpers or profiteering season-ticket holders.Quote:

If we make it that far it's cheap! ;)Quote:

I found out tonight my father sprung for the playoff and WS tickets for the both of us! Can you belive it?
And if they don't make it we'll just roll the money into the 20 game mini-package we would have bought for 2007 anyway. And the remainder of the money will be refunded.
But I'm stunned that he did that for us. He went to some of the playoff games in 1976 (and maybe 1975) but has never been to a WS game.
I'm speechless.
A 20 game mini-package in my same seat next season would only run $220 + the small printing fee compared to the $765 I'd have to front for playoff tickets right now. If the Reds failed to make the World Series and/or NLCS and I knew those tickets would be actually refunded even after I spent $200+ on a package next season, that's a significant change from what I've heard.Quote:
For any games not played at Great American Ball Park for the 2006 DIV, LCS and/or WS, the tickets will be automatically credited to the 2007 account of the Season Ticket Holder of record. Tickets SHOULD NOT be returned and will have no cash value.
I'll give him a call tomorow and let you know what I find out.

Reviewer: Evan from FL
Pros: durable, easy to maintain, simple, pretty accurate, with a good barrel
Cons: on the heavy side, kinda loud, not worth $140, barrel is trash
If you know that you are really going to get into paintball then just save up for a nicer electric gun that has all the firing modes, and will last you as you get more and more into paintball

Its tippmann; nothing more, nothing less.
November 29, 2013
Reviewer: Drake Rusk from United States
Its built like a tank, but you can do better. Also I have a normal 98 and this one with ACT but I can't tell the difference.
For a first Gun, I'd suggest looking at a Tippmann A5 or BT-4 combat slice.

pretty decent!
September 8, 2013
Reviewer: Roo from Stony
This marker is great. Well...my marker is great. I have an older model of the c98, before ACT and Platinum. And in all honesty, this is a very reliable, very durable marker made buy a very reliable and trusted company who practically defined paintball.
The pros: very durable, very sturdy. Little to no Maintenance required. I went a whole year without cleaning my marker and it never failed.
The cons: out of the box its pretty loud, and its a pig on air.
This is NOT a speedball marker, without heavy and often times custom upgrading. This is a marker designed to be reliable and cheap. It may be a rental gun, but I like it. That won't stop me from getting an x7, but I know I can trust the c98. Very rugged, unlike the fragile and flasyh fast shooters of spedball.
If you can trust your marker, you know you picked the one. In the end the marker is only as good as the person weilding it, and 2-3 well placed shots acheive the same results as 100+ balls shot in a general area.

Reviewer: Peps from Santa Paula , CA United States
don't believe what other people say , this is a great beginner gun that is reliable and indestructible . The 98 is a woodsball gun not a speedball but with a good barrel you can beat anybody on both fields.

Reviewer: Matt from Ohio
I have had this gun for about two years and play every other weekend, It is very durable, customize-able, I have installed a flat-line barrel, response trigger, cyclone feed system, and a butt stock. It never chops paint balls and it is very accurate. I would recommend this gun to all new paintballers.

Reviewer: Mike Frankl from Lawrenceburg, IN United States
This is the best starter gun you can get. its highly upgradable and will always work. I've used other guns like a azodian zenith and spyders and nothing compares. You're going to want a larger barrel first though I personally recomend a lapco. Then your going to want a trigger again i recomend a fang trigger. This will help with being outshot alot and make sure you hit what your shooting at.

98 custom
February 24, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person
This gun is durable, very customizable, and easy to take apart. I gave it 3 stars because it is a good beginners gun, doesn't chop with act (hence the anti chop technology) and is compact. but -1 star for its accuracy. it isn't very good on accuracy. if you want to make it accurate get an apex 2. and -1 star because this is not for people with longer arms.. Honestly, I would just go with a us army alpha black for the same price, spend another 10-20 get a salvo or save 30 bucks and get a carver one.

It was a geat way to leave the headache of pain med's and bike fixing behind if just for a little while. So back that subject, thanks to everyone for you advice and support. Lets kick this off properly with a little '2RTW Video', yep keeping with her good form Lisa made sure to photograph and video my during my time of pain and angst
. She apologises to you blood thirsty lot that she didn't get a photo of me actually under the Hilux, but considering the driver moved the vehicle whilst I was still under it, pretty damn quick I think we can forgive her! Here's what happened...
OK, for those that want to know the sad and gory truth, here's what we're looking at trying to sort for the bike, by the way I'm two very large gins into the post, which is mixing well with the pain med's
We used the online micro ficshe at ASCycles website to turn up these number.
Basically all the parts we need should be for an 2002 R1150GS ADV
These are our notes and I'm too tired to pretty the notes up so I hope they make sense?
Some of these numbers cover R1100RT/R1100GS/R1150GS and R1150GSA. Must make sure when ordered that the correct bike part is requested – ie don't leave it to any dealer as your bike is all sorts of bikes!!!
51162313530 right mirror R1100GS $69.22 (The mirror should be the same as the 1150GS ADV)
61312306178 electrical for R1100rt...check it out. $181.81..??? don't think correct.
11121342684 R1100gs/1150GS cylinder head. $653.12 check if your year R1150gsadv is same.....
32712331876 HIGH HANDLEBAR F HEATER HAND for R1100gs $299.37..?? where are the actual handlebars on this list??
31422314505 fork head upper (needs to be stipulate which model 1100-1150 or GSA etc) $580.05
31422338223 fork bridge (stipulate which model ie 1150 or GSA) $478.25
31427661689 fork slider (stipulate which model ie 1150 or GSA) $584.38, we need both sliders or buy a complete set of front forks and be done with it and just transplant them onto the 1150GS ADV!!!
31427661890 no such number...?
46512314698 front frame ?? more than in Malaysia? But AB state –Schwartz? And A&S says BMW oem $795.26
46632328688 fairing bracket $124.77
46632328866 panel carrier (stipulate which model) $162.02
46617666021Fender Tip from 1150GS Adventure $229.25
Question….is this the black tip or the whole beak or what..?? where is the beak on this list? The black beak extender we still have from the wreck we can re-use it! 63122306963 no such number?
63122306962 no such number?
13541342495 throttle body (if you choose the R1100GS it only states left Throttle for this number) $544.40
13541342496 throttle body right $325.60
46712314762 foot peg plate right $74.69
36317690959 spoke wheel front (no specification as to what bike) $1277.29 but think this is the HP2. We need an HP2 ri and then get it re-spoked to a 1150GS hub by Woody!
61317710224 also tried 61817710224 no such number. ?
46712310404 foot rest right $43.68 (much more in USA than in Malaysia??)
46717687107 spacer left $2.36
46712310401 foot peg rubber $10.28
subTotal USD $ 5158.51
plus 4 parts not found at estimated cost (MYR) of $ 2056.51
To make sense of this I'm actually taking photos and compiling those images into a doccuent, which I'll then post in order to better identify the parts we need. But as you can see the fact that the front frame is cracked shows you how hard i hit the Hilux.
Again, thanks to you all for your concern and best wishes. OK I'm off to bed
i have left over prizes from another event, 3 smith goggles and couple of tools which i will bring, plus some others stuff.

It plunked the machine in a room with other scrap and forgot about it for 25 years. On February 26 this year, DU auctioned off the machine and other scrap to dealers in Mayapuri for Rs 1.5 lakh.
The scrap dealers dismantled the equipment and in the process peeled off the lead covering, exposing themselves to radiation, the police added.
"We showed the victims pictures of the radioactive material," said Sharad Aggarwal, deputy commissioner of police (west). "One of them recognized it and told us he had bought it in an auction from DU."
"We will first cancel DU's licence and then decide on other penal action," Dr S S Bajaj, chairman, Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, told HT.
The chemistry department head had switched off his phone and was unavailable for comment but top Delhi Uinversity (DU) authorities claimed to be as shocked as everyone else.
"I don't know if the cobalt-60 source was procured from the chemistry department auction," said vice-chancellor Deepak Pental.
"I will institute an inquiry to see if there was any negligence on their part."
University sources told Hindustan Times that the department had auctioned a lot of old lab material in the last two-three years.
"The department sought special permission from the V-C as a lot of equipment was lying unused for as many as 30 years. We sold off mainly old instruments," said a faculty member who did not want to be identified.
Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope of cobalt, a hard, grey metal. It is used in cancer therapy machines and other medical equipment.

Derek Jeter has joined teammate Alex Rodriguez in hitting against minor league pitching. Coming back from a broken left ankle, Jeter had an opposite-field single to right in six at-bats Friday against a minor league right-hander. The Yankees captain said it was his second day of facing live pitching. Rodriguez, who had hip surgery in January, had two doubles and a single in five plate appearances, and he also ran the bases after putting the ball in play. The Yankees have not announced a date for when A-Rod will begin a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment, but running bases during the at-bat situation normally is among the final preparation steps. Rodriguez also had a post-hitting baserunning session with catcher Francisco Cervelli, who caught during A-Rod's at-bats and resumed taking on-field batting practice. Cervelli is rehabilitating from a broken hand. Rodriguez didn't stop to talk with reporters when leaving the Yankees minor league complex. Jeter hasn't played ...

Excellent condition! Fun to play but challenging also. A great bargain. We will come back when in Ludington, MI
Nice well kept public golf course. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Clubhouse has a nice deck out back looking over the course.
My brother and I play this course once a year and we continue to be amazed at the landscape and the natural beauty. Many difficult holes but worth the time.
Golfed Hemlock Golf Club for the first time last week....... LOVE LOVE LOVE this course!!!!
I am a new golfer but hubby is a 15 handycap --- i played better than he did!!!!! lol!!
Eventhough i played from the yellow tees, this course was not only challenging but oh my gosh, was it beauytiful, especially during the early part of...
I had heard good things about the course and met some friends for 9. The clubhouse was like a modular home. It was clean and decent on the inside with a deck overlooking the course.

Clean, nice course with many challenges. My husband golfs here every time we are in the area and he really enjoys the course.
After crossing Lake Michigan on the car ferry we stayed the night in Ludington and decided to play some golf early the next day before hitting the road.

Carved out...
My group played this course in April. And I will never forget those greens.... Unreal very fast and very smooth and 100% playable for ALL levels!!
Simple clubhouse and decent range. But go for the course my top courses in Michigan.
My friend and I golfed 18 holes at Hemlocks last Thursday, May 2013. This was our third time golfing there. It is one of our favorite courses because each hole feels like it is all alone. The holes are well separated by trees. Carts are a must. The holes are challenging and visually appealing. The course is in fantastic condition...

Microsoft planning complete reversal of DRM policy for Xbox One

Re: Microsoft planning complete reversal of DRM policy for Xbox One
AlphaMan wrote:
I'm no Xbot fan or nothing, but I hope no one at Microsoft is holding the yet to be launched Xbox One against Mattrick at this point. It's not like Microsoft has had any successful consumer electronics launches other than the Xbox and Xbox 360 in the past. Any one remember the Zune Media Player? Microsoft Kin smartphone? The Surface, anyone?
And honestly, does anyone expect the Xbox One to be a flop? It may under perform, but it will sell millions of units and have substantial market share.
While Mattrick isn't solely responsible for the Xbox One's PR disaster, as the head of the Entertainment and Devices division at MS he was responsible for the overall strategy and they have made numerous strategic errors under his leadership.
1) The DRM debacle is the most obvious. The fact that Mattrick didn't anticipate the scale of the backlash and have a PR strategy in place to deal with it was utter incompetence. As you said, MS were completely unprepared at the reveal event, and the fact that execs couldn't keep their story straight on how the DRM would work gave the impression that MS were trying to obfuscate the issue. Mattrick also had his own personal PR blunders, particularly the golden "buy a 360" soundbite.
2) Sony beat them on price. After being burned on the $599 fiasco for PS3, it should have been obvious to MS that Sony were going to target a price in the $300-400 range and MS should have aimed for the same price-point. The really damning thing about that is it was a self-inflicted wound, if they hadn't insisted on bundling the Kinect with the console then they would have matched Sony on price. That looks to have been a big mistake.
3) There's evidence that MS are several months behind schedule and are rushing to meet the launch deadline. There's rumours that Sony will beat MS to begin mass production and that MS are having yield issues with their APU, rumours which appear to be substantiated by the fact that preorder allocations for the PS4 are 2 or 3 times higher than the Xbox One. It will simply be easier to find a PS4 for sale this Christmas, which means Sony should have a larger install base to build off of. That could put MS at a massive disadvantage long-term.
4) Under Mattrick's leadership, Xbox's standing among core gamers has declined. Exclusives have dried up, MS focused their attention on Kinect and casual gamers, while their E3 presentations in recent years have been cringe-inducing. The casual gamer strategy was successful for them in the short term, but core gamers, the ones that are going to be the early adopters for these new consoles, have grown weary of MS. With the PS3, Sony has shown a dedication to releasing quality and diverse exclusives over the life of a console, and PS+ appears to offer much better value than XBL Gold. Sony has the better reputation with core gamers over the last few years.
MS got outmanoeuvred by Sony this time, but it was mostly because of their own screw-ups and not because Sony had an amazing strategy. Mattrick has to take much of the blame for that even if he's not wholly responsible.
...so many different suns...

2 - cups basic spaghetti sauce or store bought is fine,( I like Paul Newman`s Tomato and Basil)
3/4 - cup freshly grated Parmigiano-reggiano
I used my Cuisinart Griddler to grill my eggplant, Its healthier than frying.
|This variety "Sicilian" is slightly smaller with a wider base and purple skin streaked with white. It is sometimes referred to as "Zebra" eggplant.
While the grill is getting hot place a paper towel on a plate and lay the eggplant slices on it and sprinkle lightly with salt, this pulls out the excess water. Let sit for a few minutes. Then place on the hot grill, when the eggplant starts to get char marks flip over for 3 minutes. and remove from the heat.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a glass baking dish, spread a layer of sauce over the bottom and place the grilled eggplant in in a layer placed like the eggplant on the grill pic. and sprinkle on 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat this process again till the remaining ingredients are used with cheese on the top. Cover with a lid and bake for 30 min. or until bubbly. Serve with a warm crusty bread.

|Beautiful California Peaches
|I used my Cuisinart Griddler to grill my peaches, but a gas grill or charcoal grill will work fine also!
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit, take out 1/3 cup of pulp from the peaches and smash with a fork in a med. sized bowl.
Then add the Ameretti cookie crumbles* notes below ,cocoa, sugar and mix till moist,enough to form 4 balls, then set aside.

Heirloom Tomato Salad with Middle East Inspired Sumac Dressing
|Heirloom Tomatoes come in such a variety of colors and shapes. They make any salad beautiful!
6 - Heirloom Tomatoes, your choice of colors cut in half then into wedges
4 - cups spring Salad mix chopped
4 - Radishes thinly sliced
1/2 - cup Feta cheese crumbles
Put the tomato wedges, radish slices and chopped salad in a bowl and toss and sprinkle the Feta over top of the veggies, just before serving, drizzle the Sumac dressing over top and serve.
Sumac Dressing:
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sweet paprika
2 tsp sumac
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
Whisk together very well before putting on the salad.
Notes .... Cherry red sumac is used extensively throughout the Middle East. In the Mediterranean region today, sumac is used as a tabletop condiment or added during cooking to lend a pleasant, fruity sourness and soft cherry color to sauces, poultry, fish, and Turkish salads. The flavor is on the order of lemon juice or vinegar but milder and less acidic.
Sumac can be purchased at spice stores or found in international food stores or online on Penzeys.com

Vadim Rabinovich, a Jewish Ukrainian philanthropist and businessman, survived an apparent attempt on his life in Kiev.
According to the online edition of the Russian daily Komsomolskaya Pravda, an explosive device was hurled into Rabinovich's car near the Klovska metro station on Monday.
The daily said it was not yet clear whether Rabinovich, co-chairman of the European Jewish Parliament and president of the All-Ukrainian Jewish Congress, was in the car at the time of the explosion.
A Rabinovich associate told JTA that the businessman gave a statement to Ukrainian police. The identity of any attacker or motive is not known.
Igor Mihalko, a spokesman for the Ukrainian police, was quoted as telling the news site Comments.ua that no one was hurt in the explosion.
An unidentified woman told police she saw a young man of medium height wearing a baseball cap that covered most of his face flee the scene immediately after the explosion, the Comments.ua reported. Other witnesses said the explosion was strong enough to shatter the windows of nearby houses.
In addition to being involved in Jewish organizations, Rabinovich, 60, is an importer, energy magnate and president of FC Arsenal Kyiv, a professional soccer club in Kiev.

Communicate, Socialize and Share Now Even More 'Open and Widespread'
200 Free Minutes per Month Towards Landlines Numbers in Italy Until March 31, 2013
Indoona, the application that integrates voice and social network for calls, videocalls and multimedia messages from your smartphone and PC, developed by Italian telecommunication company Tiscali, today added the new "Social Settings" feature. the feature offers users a direct connection to other social networks, first and foremost: twitter.

In addition, Tiscali informs that the promotion of 200 free minutes per month to all national fixed Italian landlines has been extended until March 31st 2013.
The indoona application is tailored to mobile users, and the new version adds many new capabilities to the traditional "one-to-one" channel, allowing you to share the excitement of your life with your circle of your friends or contacts in your address book, with photos, video and more. In this sense, indoona is the first app that integrates personal communication, social communication and sharing.
Indoona, which recently surpassed one million downloads, is available for Apple and Android smartphones, and is also available with the same functionality, from the Web http://www.indoona.com, by simply downloading the client on your PC or Mac
Indoona is the first application that integrates and meets all the needs of today's communication, no longer based on a purely personal and private level, but strongly focused on "social".
With the new version of indoona begins a new era.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

Condition Census 1801 Large Cent with 3 Errors, S-219, AU58 NGC1801 1C 3 Errors AU58 NGC. S-219, R.2. A popular Large Cent variety that has three significant engraver's errors showing on the reverse. The left wreath stem is absent, the U in UNITED was initially entered inverted, then hastily corrected, and the fraction is 1/000. The M in AMERICA is also noticeably repunched, a fourth error, but of lesser interest. This appears to be an early die state without the prominent die cracking usually seen at the lower portions of the reverse. The smooth, medium brown surfaces are essentially unabraded and well struck. Close examination reveals several microscopic pinpricks, but these hardly detract from this exceptionally well preserved, very pleasing specimen. For pedigree purposes, one is noted above Liberty's bow in the obverse field, three are seen to the right of the D of UNITED, and one more is under the IT of the same word. Certainly qualified as a Condition Census piece.

No, I'm not talking about something Savannah Mayor Otis Johnson said this week. I'm referring to what Rahm Emanuel, Chicago's new mayor, said Monday in his inauguration speech.
I happened to be in the Windy City for a few days -- a wonderful opportunity to experience cold, wet, miserable weather in mid-May. Yet the political climate was invigorating.

I was out of the country in San Francisco the past few days. So I missed the passing and the funeral of Marcus Holland, a former colleague here at the Savannah Morning News.
Marcus died Sunday, May 20, at the age of 76. He toiled 50 years and six months in this crazy, yet addictive profession. That's a half century. In one place. Amazing. If his health hadn't taken a sudden downturn, he might have made 60.

I don't get paid to write sports. That's the job of Don Heath, Dennis Knight, Tony Stastny and the rest of our sports staff.
So don't consider this bit of scribbling a sports blog. Instead, it's much-needed therapy for sad, wreck of a man who's cursed to follow a college football team that can't win the big ones, and, who pulled out much of his hair last weekend.
I'm guessing I wasn't alone in my sudden bald-headedness either.

Achmed Williams, who was shot and killed in the middle of the afternoon Wednesday while sitting on a porch on East 54th Street in the Edgemere-Sackville neighborhood, was no stranger to violence.
Just last summer, he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter in the slaying of his brother, Alex Williams, during a quarrel in 2008, also on East 54th Street. Chatham County Superior Court Judge Penny Haas Freesemann sentenced Williams, then 23, to 15 years with three years, six months to serve, and the balance on probation special conditions.

This year's Rock 'N' Roll Savannah Marathon will give runners more local flavor and less of the dreaded and deadly dull Truman Parkway.
Credit organizers for making this needed change, which was announced Wednesday. Let's also hope the message about the new course gets out to the 23,000 participants in last year's inaugural run. Those who liked Savannah's super-successful new marathon, but may have been put off by pounding the asphalt on such a large stretch of the Truman, need to know the 26.2-mile course for the Nov. 3, 2012, event has been updated for the better.

You're welcome, Lord Ganthor. Outside of some entirely separate headaches I've been having with crashes and such, this contest wound up being somewhat difficult since my brain went into full tilt Serious Business mode which caused a bit of an artist's block. Figured that in the end, most inaccuracies could be noted as understandable given the resources.
With my entry, I made a bit of an update. Changed the layout slightly, fixed clipping in a few places, and made small adjustments. The watch was added to help with the "preparations" concept in that she's not finished getting ready or perhaps this is a rehearsal.
Oh, I didn't have those watches… Link checks out, entry still accepted.
ZamuelNow, could you update your earlier post (#211), please? That will prevent some judges looking at the older version of your entry and other judges looking at the newer version.

Floor Polisher Parts
If you have wooden floors then it is mandatory that you invest in a good floor polisher. Though the wooden floors give the rooms a warm and golden tone, taking care of them can be tricky if you're not very careful. Wooden floors can be easily scratched, excess moisture and chemicals can damage the wood. Here we look at how to use a floor polisher on a wooden floor.
How to use Floor Polisher on Wooden Floors
•Clean the floor with a soft brushed broom or a vacuum cleaner before using the floor polisher.
•Ensure that the pad of the floor polisher is clean and sparkling. Buff the floor with the pad from one corner to another until the entire room is covered.
•You can either use a floor wax or make a all natural floor polish at home. In a double boiler heat 2 cups of mineral oil and 1 tbsp beeswax. Once they are melted drizzle the mixture evenly over the floor.
•Slide a new pad into the floor polisher. Slowly move the floor polisher from the back of the room to the front in gentle motions. The slow and gentle motion of the floor polisher over the polish will bring a glow and sparkle to the floor.
If you are planning to invest in a good floor polisher look no further than GoVacuum.com. Here we deal with only the top most brands such as Bissell, Bosch, Carpet, Dyson and so on. The floor polisher replacements such as pads, shower feed brush, roller brush are available with us. GoVacuum.com is a one stop for all your cleaning solutions.

Ceramics Corridor incubators in WNY and Southern Tier have graduated 30 firms over the last two decades; case study of SCP in latest annual reportSubmitted by admin on October 20, 2014 - 9:25am
Over the last two decades, the two-site Ceramics Corridor Innovation Centers (incubator facilities in Alfred and Painted Post) has admitted and graduated 30 businesses, according to the incubators' latest annual report available on the CCIC website. Resident businesses have generated $97 million in employee payroll and employed 90 people on average each year.
The report also features in an interview with Martin Metzger, co-founder of early tenant Silicon Carbide Products (SCP), a manufacturerer of advanced ceramic components for challenging industrial uses. SCP now owns its own 30,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Horseheads and exports 40% of sales globally. "Without the innovation center, it wouldn't have been possible for us to move here and start our business," Metzger recalls.
NYSERDA case study on Stony Brook's Clean Energy Business Incubation Program and four Long Island startupsSubmitted by admin on October 8, 2014 - 10:30am
The Innovation and Business Development group at NYSERDA, which sponsors the Clean Energy Business incubator Program hosted by our member Stony Brook University Incubator Programs, has published an excellent case study of how CEBIP has assisted four client companies, two resident at the university's Advanced Energy Center in its Research and Development Park, and two at existing commercial facilities off-site:
- Solar Cool, a student-initiated venture now developing a solar-power cooler with applications in leisure markets as well as transportation of temperature-sensitive medicine and vaccines;
- ThermoLift, Inc., developing a highly efficient heat pump system;
- WATT Fuel Cell Corp., developing a solid-oxide fuel-cell system;
- Havelide Systems, developing a new technique for converting natural gas to liquid for easier transport.
The case study also does an excellent job explaining how the CEBIP integrates with other aspects of the Long Island venture ecosytem such as Long Island Angels, and with other aspects of state policy such as the Innovate NY Seed Capital Fund and the START-UP NY tax-free zones. For more, please read the study.
