Local Government Municipal Systems Bill is unanimously voted into law
The Municipal Systems Amendment Act, 2011, is aimed at professionalising local government for improved service delivery and performance management, while also inculcating a people-centred local government mindset in municipalities.
"One of the key objectives of the Bill is to progressively align government systems of municipal administration and human resource management with that of the public service in national and provincial government," Acting Minister for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA), Mr Nathi Mthethwa, told MPs when the Bill was presented to Parliament last month.
"Local government will never be the same again. This Bill will open a new chapter in local government and help turn it around into a responsive, accountable, efficient and effective local government system that will help accelerate service delivery and the building of a better life for all," he added.
One key objective of this legislation is to progressively align the systems of municipal administration and human resource management with that of the public service in national and provincial government.
In addition, in some cases Municipalities, regardless of the political party in leadership, are staffed with employees who are not necessarily qualified to undertake their duties.
"It is for this reason that this Bill makes it mandatory for Municipalities to employ appropriately qualified and competent people," Minister Mthethwa said.
The aim of the Bill, amongst others, is to –
Professionalise local government by ensuring that the administrative apparatus of municipalities is staffed by appropriately qualified and competent persons to improve on service delivery
Require employment contracts and performance agreements of municipal managers and managers directly accountable to municipal managers to be consistent with the uniform systems and procedures set nationally
Extend the Minister's regulatory power to make regulations relating to macro benefits such as medical aid and pension benefits after consultation with the Minister of Health and Finance
The Local Government Municipal Systems Act is aimed at learning from the lessons, and addressing the weaknesses, of democratic local government since 1994 and 1998 in particular, which was when the country adopted the White Paper on Developmental Local Government. It further focuses squarely on the key issues that arose from the State of Local Government in 2009 Report.
Minister Mthethwa called on all political parties who are running municipalities to ensure that the Act is implemented fully in each municipality.
Issued by the Department for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA).

Responsible Business - Let's take responsibility
Taking responsibility for the environment and local community has been an important part of the broader commitment of the Rezidor Hotel Group to sustainable development for many years. In 2001, this commitment was fortified and placed within the scope of a programme called Responsible Business (RB). Each hotel has a unique RB Action Plan covering areas such as community outreach, environmental improvement, employee well-being and health and safety.
The hotels are engaged with both local charities (St. Clare's Hospice and Essex Air Ambulance) and the corporate international charity organisation supported by the Rezidor Hotel Group, the World Childhood Foundation. The mission of Childhood is to defend the rights of the child and to promote better living conditions for vulnerable and exploited children at risk all over the world.
Here are some of the RB activities and achievements of this hotel:
- A preventative maintenance programme is in place, including the recording and monitoring of gas, electricity and water usage.
- As part of the hotel's commitment to recycling, batteries and fluorescent bulbs are collected and all waste is separated.
- Chefs use locally sourced ingredients.
- Flow-restrictor taps were installed to conserve water.
- Motion sensors and timers are used in low-usage areas.
- A proactive Green Hotel committee was created and includes a team member from every department.
- RB pin badges were awarded to guests and staff who made donations to the World Childhood Foundation.
- The hotel instituted an RB incentive for staff. Various activities throughout the year earn points that can be exchanged for an additional holiday. Possible activities include blood donation, Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan's Purse), an Airport Perimeter Walk and participation in the NHS program that encourages people to stop smoking.
- The hotel participates in Healthy Hotel Week, promoting health and well-being amongst employees and guests.
- The hotel received a gold rating from the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
- The hotel seeks to use suppliers that fulfil Responsible Business criteria.

Here it is folks. Twenty years of my life has come and gone since the first year I appeared on the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon. Back then, twenty years seemed like a really long time but it's gone by in a flash. I thought for sure by now we'd not only have flying cars, but a cure for Muscular Dystrophy. Turns out we don't have either but one is far more important to have and I think you know which.
The MDA Telethon kicked off in Las Vegas today and will continue through the night and into Labor Day. "Love Networks" throughout the country will be working hard as well as they go on air whenever Jerry and his crew take a break. Countless volunteers will sit by phones for hours waiting for your call and generous donation. I'll be spending my time in New York City like I do every year, hoping we at least raise one more dollar.
I'm extra excited this year because I'll be co-hosting an even larger part of the show on Monday after 3:00pm. We are all so very thankful for our lifetime supporters who give their time and money each and every year but it's very important to get the youth involved as well. Along those lines I'll be hosting a special "Rock Against Dystrophy" portion of the show to showcase several young individuals and their work to help MDA.
Not only that but I'll be talking about the new ways to donate to MDA. For the texting crowd, it's perfect, all you have to do is text "MDA" TO 20222 and a donation of $10 will be placed on your next phone bill. No call or credit card is required.
It's a gorgeous weekend, which is always a bad sign for us because it means most people are outside enjoying their holiday but remember MDA's new slogan for this year's Telethon: Make a Muscle, Make a Difference. Before you turn that doorknob to walk outside, think about the person who doesn't have the strength to make that simple move you make every day and make a donation.

Court review welcome
Proponents of Proposition 8 repeatedly talk about how marriage is a 5,000-year-old institution between one man and one woman. They also say that now that Californians have spoken, the will of the people must be recognized.
They are misguided on both counts.
Marriage as we know it today is a modern invention, surely post-Industrial Revolution, but probably more accurately, post World War II. Through most of history, marriages were forced upon its participants, especially women. Many were created while the bride and groom were young children. Often, they were basically a financial transaction that included dowries, property or other remuneration.
In most of these situations, there was no freedom of the participants to enter into these relationships. And, as a result, there was often no exit, even in situations of horrendous abuse. Often, women were viewed as property and were treated as such.
In many societies, including those written about in the Bible, there was polygamy — families with one husband and several to many wives. (This was common among Mormons until well into the 20th century, a fact that somehow escaped much review during the heated Proposition 8 election campaign when members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints reportedly donated more than $20 million to support a ban on same-sex marriage.)
Today, throughout the Western world, marriage is a civil institution. When you want to get married, you go to a courthouse and file papers. In most cases, you can have your civil ceremony right there and you are then married. If you later decide to terminate the marriage, you must pursue divorce proceedings in a court of law, which follows rules that protect spouses and minor children.
If you would like to be married in a church or by a member of the clergy, you must follow a separate or parallel path. You must contact that clergy member, convince him or her that you follow the doctrines of that religion and will continue to do so and any other stipulations they have. If you are Catholic, for example, you may not be able to be married in the church if you had been married previously and didn't received an official church annulment of the first marriage. If you are Jewish, most rabbis will require both participants to be practicing adherents to Judaism.
The California Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage in May did not change in any way the religious part of marriage. In its opinion, the California Supreme Court explicitly states that no church and no clergy are required to perform marriages that violate their beliefs. The California Supreme Court ruling recognized that marriage as a civil institution must treat all members of our society equally. It, therefore, ordered that same-sex couples have the same access to civil marriages as heterosexual couples have.
Now that 52 percent of Californians have said that they don't believe that same-sex couples should have the right to a civil marriage, the opponents of same-sex marriage believe the question has been resolved and that any court challenges are "undemocratic." Our American system of checks and balances was designed to deal with just such a situation.
Throughout U.S. history, there have been numerous times when the majority believed strongly, often supported by its religious beliefs, that another group of citizens should be treated in a different way than the rest of society. Two examples are the integration of public schools and inter-racial marriage. Both were decided by courts and would likely have been overturned if votes of the populace had been allowed.
One of the key roles of courts established by the Constitution is to protect minorities from the tyranny of majorities, especially related to individual rights. As Justice Joyce Kennard wrote in her concurring opinion in the California same-sex marriage case, whether a state ban on same-sex marriage is constitutional "is not a matter to be decided by the executive or legislative branch or by popular vote, but is instead an issue of constitutional law for resolution by the judicial branch."
It isn't clear what the California Supreme Court will do when it hears cases in March seeking to challenge Proposition 8. It is important to accept that this is a legitimate role as part of our government structure.

Fighting Above Our Weight Class
By Helen Watkins Norman
Bill Michaelcheck '69, vice chair of the Rhodes Board of Trustees, is one of those people who can address almost any topic with ease, whether it is fly-fishing in Argentina, the pre-Columbian history of the Americas or the economic theories of Adam Smith. Few topics, however, dominate his attention like education. And few institutions tug at his heart like Rhodes.
Michaelcheck, founder of New York-based Mariner Investments, has served on the Rhodes board for 17 years and for 20 years on the Nightingale-Bamford School, a private girls' school in Manhattan where his daughters have enrolled. He is a past board member at Landmark College, where his son attended, and he currently chairs the board of the International Honors Program, a comparative study-abroad program exposing college students to the economies and cultures of countries around the globe.
Moreover, most of his business partners at Mariner serve on the boards of America's top colleges and universities, and conversations among them frequently turn to academe.
So as a longtime volunteer in the trenches of higher education, what does Bill Michaelcheck consider the most pressing challenge facing Rhodes as it prepares to educate the next generation?
"Student scholarships," he answers. Being able to provide access to the students who really want to come to Rhodes but may not be able to afford it is critical to the college's future, he explains. And doing so, he continues, will take a significantly larger endowment than Rhodes currently has.
"My mother was a public school teacher," says Michaelcheck, who came to the college from Tiptonville, a western Tennessee town that had about 2,000 people when he arrived at Rhodes in the fall of l965. "We weren't poor, but I certainly couldn't afford to go to Rhodes. I ended up getting a small scholarship, but my mother took out loans on her teaching salary.
"I think the college today wants the best student body, not the richest student body," he says, noting that a diverse cross-section of students is a major goal. "But that is very expensive," he says.
(Currently, Rhodes meets 84 percent of students' needs. According to college officials, fully funding the current aid budget and meeting 100 percent of need would require an additional $300 million in scholarship endowment.)
"We are now competing with the big guys: Middlebury and Williams, not to mention Emory, Vanderbilt and Davidson," says Michaelcheck. "Rhodes is in the big leagues now. Most, if not all of these institutions have larger endowments per student and therefore more scholarships. It's a real challenge."
What's more, Michaelcheck says, Rhodes must compete more vigorously with state institutions that are increasingly offering "very special scholarships for the best students."
The college's ultimate goal is to provide 100% of a student's financial need which would mean "our admissions department could pick the very best class regardless of what a student can pay," according to Michaelcheck.
"Right now we don't have the money to do this. So we make compromises. Students have to take out giant loans. Some just can't come," he says. "A lot of Rhodes students today are like I was: They are middle-class students from small towns and families who don't have very much money. So many people like that have come to Rhodes and benefited, including me."
Michaelcheck points out that Harvard, Princeton, Davidson and a couple of other schools have already moved to providing 100% of student need, and others are moving that way.
"(To do that) Rhodes would have to offer significantly more scholarships than we're offering right now. It would be a wonderful thing," he says.
Among the nation's 50 top liberal arts colleges, Rhodes ranked 38th in endowment per student in 2006, according to U.S. News and World Report.
"While Rhodes has a nice endowment, we're way down that list. If you compare Rhodes to some schools in the region, we look great. We have a beautiful campus and buildings. We balance the budget every year. Our endowment is nice. But given our goals and objectives, we are certainly the poor relation in the liberal arts world among the colleges with which we compete."
Throughout its history, Rhodes has outperformed its financial resources, notes Michaelcheck. "Rhodes has always been fighting above its weight class," he claims.
In addition to providing access for worthy students to attend the college, an expanded endowment, notes Michaelcheck, would benefit the other major component in a top-tier education: faculty.
"What is a great college? It's great students and great faculty. They go together," he says. As Rhodes increases its emphasis on student-faculty undergraduate research, the costs escalate—for laboratories and facilities as well as faculty. "These experiences are very faculty intensive. If we expect our faculty to give the individualized attention that Rhodes is all about, we have to maintain a low student-faculty ratio. And to do that, we will have to have a relatively large group of faculty for our size."
Another priority, he explains, is access to international study.
"I was lucky enough to spend a year abroad on a scholarship when I was at Rhodes," he says. "I never could have afforded it on my own. In the global world we're in, our students need that global exposure to be well-rounded, truly educated students. In the future we'd like to be able to say that every Rhodes student gets at least one semester abroad."
While Rhodes faces some steep challenges ahead, Michaelcheck believes the college will succeed.
"Rhodes is doing so many great things that people want to help it. People want to be affiliated with a winning team. If you're going to give a scholarship, if you're going to build a building, you want it at a place that is doing great things, a place that you are proud of, that represents the values you have.
"There are a lot of people out there who are proud to remember they went to Rhodes," Michaelcheck emphasizes.
By all indications, Bill Michaelcheck heads the list.

There are quite a few diet pills and there are quite a few specifically claiming to cater to the female dieter. Slimquick is the first brand to as a whole specifically focus on women, and Slimquick Ultra Fat Burner is supposed to be one of the most hardcore options. Slimquick Ultra Fat Burner obviously provides the 6 different approaches to female weight loss that every Slimquick product talks about, at least according to the description, but call us crazy, we like to look at the ingredients before we determine anything.
Ingredients in Slimquick Ultra Fat Burner
Caffeine anhydrous – Caffeine anhydrous has been used to burn fat, and it seems to also increase energy. It can come with some side effects, but it is one of the most common options.
Green tea extract – Green tea extract has been used to burn fat with healthy antioxidant benefits. This popular ingredient has been used for quite a few different reasons.
Rhodiola rosea – Rhodiola rosea is a natural energy supplement that can improve your workouts.
Chaste tree extract – Chaste tree extract is largely meant to fight the symptoms of menopause and PMS, providing relief for women.
Soy extract – Soy extract is a natural supplement that looks like estrogen. It has been used to improve overall female health, and it seems to also provide protein benefits.
Brown seaweed -Brown seaweed has vitamin and healthy antioxidant benefits. Some find that it can promote stimulant free thermogenic benefits as well.
Uva ursi – Uva ursi works as a natural diuretic that can help you to eliminate water weight while also working as cleansing ingredients if you use it in the right combinations and the correct amounts.
Japanese knotweed extract – Used for its healthy vitamins and antioxidants, Japanese knotweed can promote a number of healthy benefits.
Phytosterols – Phytosterols have long been used to promote better health benefits and fight high cholesterol levels. These are not particularly specific to women, but it does seem to work.
L-theanine – L-theanine acts as a natural amino acid that happens to lift mood and support healthy muscles at the same time.
The Skinny
Slimquick Ultra Fat Burner has ingredients used to promote weight loss. It has a couple of ingredients that can help women by reducing the symptoms of PMS and providing other benefits as it turns out. Slimquick Ultra Fat Burner uses ingredients that have been proven when used right to do quite a bit. Does Slimquick Ultra Fat Burner use these ingredients in the right way? We're not 100% sure. Slimquick products have a mixed reputation. So far however, Slimquick Ultra Fat Burner seems to be alright.

22. Cook an Instant Side
GABRIEL KREUTHER James Beard Award Winner BEST CHEF: NEW YORK CITY The Modern, New York City
"Here's how I enjoy summer tomatoes: First I'll cook the piece of roasted fish or meat. When it's finished, I take it out of the roasting pan and let it rest. Then I cook a tomato in the same pan. Cut the tomato in half and put the halves face down in the roasting pan. Cook them in a 325° oven. It will take 3 to 5 minutes depending on the size. Take the halves out of the pan and flip them over carefully, then season with salt and pepper, and finish with some finely chopped garlic and some basil or parsley on top. Deglaze the pan with a couple of tablespoons of water and you have a nice little sauce with the drippings and some drops of olive oil. It's good and simple!"*

There is NO NEED to keep popping pills, and suffering agonies. You have found the right place to download not just ONE, but over ONE HUNDRED PAGES of drug-free, simple, natural, complementary and alternative therapy solutions and home remedies to bring relief from the tyranny of your migraines.
FROM: JoyHealey (BA(OU), Dip.ION), Nutritionist and Health-writer
Welcome Migraine Sufferer
I know what you're going through! I suffered migraines for over THIRTY years. They were largely caused by working well into the small hours, fuelled by coffee, chocolate and adrenaline to hit looming deadlines and budgets. Now, life is still hectic and still includes my favourite foods - but the relief of being 99% migraine-free is immeasurable. How did this happen? Read on to find out.
How many of these statements can you identify with?
And even while you're wracked with pain and misery, you can't help but worry how this terrible affliction impacts others in your life.
At home, however sympathetic your family and friends try to be, it's unlikely they truly understand what you're going through when yet another migraine or headache intervenes. It may be a special outing that has to be cancelled, or is ruined because you can't fully take part. Or perhaps the relentless effect of repeated headaches just casts a gloom over day-to-day activities.
At work, legislation is supposed to protect you from discrimination because of illness (which is, after all, what migraine is). But can legislation actually change what your colleagues are thinking and how they act? Does anyone really believe how much you are suffering? Even if you don't take days off, your work quality and output suffers – which may cause a vicious circle of even more stress and repeated migraines. You may never know how your career has been damaged.
It's not your fault. I've been where you are now, and felt your despair. For help with
headaches, you're at the right place. The answer to your search for a migraine-free future is within your reach.
Suffer no longer.
Click below for immediate download of
"Banish Migraine with Complementary Therapy"
…. before your next migraine strikes.
Other therapists typically approach migraine from one angle – their own therapy.
But because your migraine is not the same as anyone else's, "Banish Migraine with Complementary Therapy" doesn't just present a single solution. It introduces you to an exciting range of drug-free, natural, alternative ways to be free from migraine for life.
Why should you believe I can help, when so many others have failed?
Reason One:
As a previous migraine sufferer I understand your suffering. My own migraines were caused by regularly working until the wee-small hours, fuelled by coffee, chocolate and adrenaline to hit looming deadlines and budgets. Now, life is still hectic and still includes my favourite foods - but the relief of being 99% migraine-free is immeasurable. How did this happen?
When conventional medicine failed to provide answers or relief I looked further afield, even changing career to find relief. That wasn't easy. It took time, money, dedication and dogged determination.
Reason Two:
To answer my migraine questions I changed my career and retrained as a nutritional therapist at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (London, UK). Studying for three years under Patrick Holford and many other highly-esteemed experts, I researched nutrition and the science of healthy living.
My specialist final year subject for was, of course,
tension head-aches
. Obviously that's too broad a subject to cover in one year, so that year's research focused on links between migraine and one mineral.
YOU don't need to take such drastic action. I did the hard work studying so YOU don't have to.
Download my book for immediate access to tips and tricks to help you beat those migraines.
Reason Three:
My nutritional research was published in an earlier edition of this book: "Banish Migraine the Nutritional Way"(2004).
But that was only one approach to what is, after all, a multi-factorial problem. So, not content to leave it at that, my revised road-map to your pain-free future includes a whole host of new drug-free, natural, alternatives to conquering migraines.
You can now read
"Banish Migraine with Complementary Therapy"
, the updated version of that book, to bring you a far wider range of home-remedies in one low-cost package. It condenses into one convenient source, the knowledge of even more professionally qualified complementary therapists.
Because I understand your suffering, here's my promise to you:
In short - years of research compiled into one convenient sourcewhere you can learn about new, alternative approaches you may not have considered before.
Some would say that's an impossible and stupid question, but naming a figure lets you make one simple choice:
In simple monetary terms the price you're paying ranges from the trivial cost of purchasing pain-killers and medications, through to cancelled or spoiled social events, lost working days and right up to unquantifiable costs, such as damaged relationships and career prospects.
It's easy to evaluate lost working days per year, but how do you calculate the price tag on a spoiled family occasion or under-achieving in your career?
Furthermore, what you definitely can't put a price on is the emotional cost of seeing a hurt or disappointed loved one, distressed and frustrated by their inability to help you. What price can you put on a missed outing with your child, or elderly parent - possibly never to be repeated?
What pain did you feel? What inconvenience did it cause – to you and others? What were you unable to do?
How many times has that, or a similar scenario, been repeated?
If you could roll back the clock and prevent a migraine, how much would it be worth to you?
$57? $77? What price the smile on a loved one's face?
When you're in the throes of a migraine, if someone said to you "Give me
$17 and I'll make the misery go away" – Would you give them $17?
Would you willingly hand that trivial sum over each and every time a migraine struck you down? Would it be worth
$17, just to feel normal again.
Because any ONE piece of information in my eBook could be the bridge that transports you from pain, nausea, misery and suffering to normality, good health and even vitality.
You can benefit from my years of migraine research and study for $17 – that's less than the price of a night out.
How can you afford NOT to take a look, even if all you were going to receive would be that one source of information?
Because I truly want you to become 100% migraine-free, I'm going to include far more than just the one eBook.
To deliver the best possible service to you in your battle with migraine and tension headaches this package includes bonus information and money-saving discounts worth far more than the cost of the book, at no extra charge.
No need to spend another cent after taking delivery of
"Banish Migraine with Complementary Therapy"
– it's packed with information and advice to take advantage of right away. But if you do try some of the excellent products and services you'll read about, there's a whole host of money-saving discounts for you:

For years I suffered all the pain, plus the financial and emotional costs, without finding answers. That wasn't good enough. There had to be something out there to help. The results of four years studying nutrition, migraine, and health coaching are waiting for you.

There are a group of APUG photographers informally meeting around the Harbor Springs to Mackinaw Straits area between June 18-27. Most are visiting the second weekend of that interval. Check out this thread for info. I'm sure you would be welcome. It would be about 3.5 hour trip from Lansing, but not too bad of a drive if your weekends are free. There might even be some APUG folks from the Lansing area or points south heading that way should you lack transportation.
jmxphoto has published some maps in that thread showing good photo locations in the general area.

Track And Field Concludes Two-Day Stint At Indiana Relays
Feb. 1, 2014
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The DePaul track and field teams wrapped up their two-day stints at the Indiana Relays on Saturday afternoon in Bloomington, Ind.
The event marked the second-to-last competition before the BIG EAST Championships on Feb. 21-22 in Armory, N.Y.
Matt Babicz paced the Blue Demons in the men's shot put invitational, where he captured first place courtesy of a career-best throw of 19.43 meters. Babicz's throw was .07 meters longer than Curtis Jenson (Illinois State), who tossed a 19.36-meter throw. For Babicz, the win marked his fourth shot put competition victory in five meets this season.
Tayler Whittler qualified for the finals of the 60-meter dash with a run of 7.72 in the semifinals early in the day. She placed sixth in the finals with a run of 7.67 seconds, just .34 seconds off the first-place pace set by Remona Burchell (Alabama).
In the women's 200, Ayesha Ewing won her section with a time of 25.43, her second-best time of the season, and then followed with a time of 58.41 in the 400. Erin McCoy won her section of the 400 with a time of 58.12 as well.
In the women's 4x400-meter relay, Ewing, Whittler, McCoy and Julie Dambra placed third out of six teams in section two with a time of 3:47.91 while the men's 4x4 team of Tonderai Tomu, Brandon Threats, Xavier Jones and Mac Melto also took third (3:18.29).
Jones performed well in the 200-meter dash as well, placing first in his section with a time of 22.55 seconds. Melto also won his section of the 200 by posting a time of 22.44 seconds.
Finally, Chris Miedema logged a time of 4:14.91 in the one-mile run, a new personal record, to finish second out of 19 runners in the second section of the mile competition.
DePaul next competes at the Meyo Invitational in Notre Dame, Ind., on Feb. 7-8.

Women & Psoriasis
Diet & Psoriasis
Women & Psoriatic Arthritis
Info Kit
In a two-day trip to Washington, D.C. in late April, a group of nine psoriatic disease researchers and nine people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis met with 50 members of Congress and their staff from 13 states to campaign for continued federal support of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis research and better access to treatments.
The group asked Congress to support $1.2 million in funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to implement the first psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis public health agenda, which would make significant advances toward understanding psoriatic diseases and improving treatment, management and quality of life. They also urged lawmakers to cosponsor the Patients' Access to Treatment Act (PATA) to eliminate financial barriers such as high copayments and ensure that people with chronic diseases have access to needed prescription drugs.
Among the Capitol Hill meetings were the offices of House and Senate leadership, including Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif, Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Jerry Moran, R-Kan., and Reps. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. The group discussed the impact of psoriasis and its associated health risks, or comorbidities, and the future directions of psoriasis research and treatment.

A Brief Guide to Wedding Hairdos (2)
Previous Page
Depending on the specifics of the cut and styling, the swing look can suit a wide range of face shapes. Allowing the forward sections to frame the face can help balance features and
camouflage more difficult facial structures
Full Up-Styles
Full up-styles obviously utilize nearly all of the hair in their construction. These two typical looks are the foundations upon which most all full up-styles are based. They characterize the up-style based on the level of detail and the tautness of the style.
The Loose Up-Style
A loose up-style is generally used with those whose hair is less dense, or those who desire a lot of volume. The hair is often
to build up the interior structure and has the outer layers of the hair directed over this volume. Common loose up-style looks can be seen in photos from the turn of the century, and because of this classic characterization, are often chosen by brides whose gowns are inspired by the fashions of that era.
The level of detail in a
loose up-style
can vary greatly, but generally speaking, the details tend to be softer and minimalist. Common elements in a loose up-style include a soft bun wound at the crown section with the peripheral sections backcombed for fullness and swept in curving lines to the crown. The silhouette is often overlarge but provides a counterpoint to both the gown being worn, and the general body shape.
The Taut Up-Style
Taut Up-Styles are perhaps the most popular hairdos for many bridal environments. The hair is secured well against weather and other environmental factors and the looks tend to be long-lasting as a result. The taut styles are as with the other types widely varied. They include looks like the simple chignon, the French twist and top-knot bun.
Taut up-styles also include any style that secures the hair closely to the scalp or at least keeps the hair well-controlled and confined. At most, with a
taut updo
, a few tendrils will be worn loosely as adornment. Most curls will be carefully sculpted and will make a dramatic statement in detail and visual interest. As a result of the variety of styling options, the taut up-style is often the most-popular hairstyle type worn by brides.
All in all, bridal hairstyles are much like any other formal style, but they do have their characteristics that make them unique. Most all of the bridal hairdos are designed to incorporate a tiara, headpiece and/or veil. Brides as a whole want to feel like princesses on their wedding day, so they opt for ornate and elaborate looks that are basically once-in-a-lifetime occurrences.

Wild, Chaotic, Unencumbered. Derived from ancient naval slang. The hook referred to the anchor. In violent storms, if the anchor would break loose from the seabottom (or break loose from the anchor chain - ref "Off the chain.."), the ship would be uncontrolled, free and wild. Utter chaos. Can you imagine anything more wild than a uncontrolled ship in a hurricane?

User reviews on AMC Del Amo 18
this theater is safe. that fool that wrote the first review is trippin. EVERY movie theater has problems with teenagers sometimes. its a movie theater at all mall, what do you expect.
Everyone is correct! (How can that be?) Everyone has their own truths, it's what they see as witnesses. I live across the street from the "New" AMC Theaters at the Del Amo Mall.
During construction of the new section that involved demolition of the old Montgomery Wards building and the rest of the two story structure, we (those of us who live across the street) had to endure what seemed like endless lines of loud trucks rolling up & down Carson Street all through the night for nearly two years. It was a relief when the new addition was finally completed and some of the tenants were moved in.
Just like when all things are brand new, people from all over the place would arrive to see the new things that were not there before. It's a normal reaction for everyone. What is not taken into account is that it also attracts both, the good AND the bad behavior types. If you will notice, through history, when school starts in late Summer, during Spring Break, near the start of Summer when school's out, we will always have the kinds of trouble one of the Writers wrote they had experienced.
Even the Torrance Police has a schedule pre-determined a year in advance to anticipate trouble spots and their "Timings." According to the police, they always question those who were arrested as to WHY they would come all the way over to Torrance from places as far away as Orange County & Riverside County. The most common response was that they thought they could easily get away with it or that others would merely stand by and refuse to act against them - to stop them. Especially High School Students... if they get into trouble, the Parents are pursued for recourse. They are hit hard in the wallet and that stings the most.
As new construction occurs, new technology is created & presented most cost effectively. For example, the Del Amo Mall is heavily fortified with mini-cameras. Even if you try looking for them, you can not find them. There was one Merchant who was asked if he could stand in front of where one of those cameras were, and he still could not see it; even from 10 inches away! He had to have it actually pointed out from one inch away, and still says "There's A Camera Right Here?!"
If you think those security officers standing on those two wheeled Sedwicks machines are NOT watching you... think again. Camera images are piped to them so that they see everything you are doing. So if you spot a security officer appearing to be gazing out into the distance - he's actually watching somebody on camera (who may be somewhere behind him), maybe watching you looking at him.
Have you ever wondered why some unfortunate soul was having them & their car searched by a Torrance Police Car right in the middle of the Del Amo parking lot? Cameras! They were followed under suspicion and even their license plates were documented on camera.
So anyone who wants to do a crime in Torrance (especially at the Del Amo Mall), try driving in with your car's license plates covered with a thick towel to keep the cameras from taking pictures of your plates. That way, the cops won't know who you are.... Good Luck!
Honestly, the long story that is described below could happen at most any theaters these days, which is the real outrage. One time I went, the ushers actually threw out a guy who was disturbing the audience (I think there were MAYBE a dozen of us in there!) Thats pretty rare. Nice new facility and decent projection and sound (another rarity) and the seats were comfy. Decent parking and service.
the theater is really nice. dont believe the other guy who reviewed it. its really clean, very well made, and no worse than any other theater around.
I was incredibly disappointed by the management at the AMC Del Amo Mall and will never return to the establishment. I went to see the Dark Knight at the AMC Del Amo Mall yesterday at midnight (7/18/08 at 12am) with friends. A young lady and her niece who was in line with me about an hour before the show sat in the row in front of me and laid their jackets over 3 seats to reserve the spots.
The lady went to get her friend and left her niece, who I later heard was 14, to keep the seats. Within a minute, 2 men and a woman (older teenagers maybe) came up to the young girl and ordered her to move. She said no and they began using profanities, picked up the jackets and threw them in the young girls face, the girl obviously scared got up from the seat. Just as she started to walk away her aunt and the aunt's friend were walking up. They asked the teens (i think) why they cursed and threw the jackets at a child. The teens said there was no reserving seats and continued their horrible behavior.
What truly shocked me was the fact that the lady found 2 different managers to come over and talk to the teens, for a second, but they did nothing. I heard him tell the lady that he did not want to disturb the teens movie experience and offered her seats that were spread between 2 theatres. The teens were now being rewarded for acting like delinquents. Even though I said I saw what happened the manager (possibly on drugs) said it was her word against the teens and looked annoyed that she was even complaining.
When I say what management did was horrible I mean it. I would have walked out right then but the people I came with really wanted to see the movie.

YONKERS — After eliminating more than 10 percent of its staff, the district will cut deeper to save high school sports in the fall.
A $43 million shortfall that forced the district to shed staff and programs threatened an elimination of the district's interscholastic sports, but public objections caused officials to reverse course, at least until the winter sports season.
Yonkers Schools Superintendent Bernard Pierorazio said the reversal would require other sacrifices. ...

iPad app coming?
All responses
Hello JB,
Yes, we are currently working on a native iPad app and it should be available in near future.
For now, as a workaround, you could try to access the full Todoist web-app at http://todoist.com/m/forceRegular It is fully HTML5 compatible and should work on any modern mobile browser.
Best regards,
Any ETA on the Todoist app? It has been "available in the near future" since December of last year :( The original estimation was sometime Q1 of 2013, but that has gone and past. Hopefully we won't be waiting too long?
Hello Vivian,
As you've noticed, we were planning to launch in in the first quarter, but we didn't make it (quality is always our priority over deadlines), however it's almost finished now, but we can't give you any ETA especially considering that any iOS app requires approval of the App Store and in case it would fail the first time, any deadline may be delayed because of that and the approval times itself can vary.
Best regards,
Any chance of least an indicative launch?
Hello Craig,
Unfortunately, we can;t indicate any launch date because we simply don't know it. The app is almost done, but because it will have to go through the App Store approval, it's impossible to give any launch date.
Best regards,
Can I get on the beta test list? : )
Hello Valerie,
Thank you for your interest. If we release a beta version for testing, we'll contact you or announce it on our social media pages (Google+, Facebook, Twitter).
Best regards,

ACADIA NATIONAL PARK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Members of the University of Maine community are mourning the loss of studentShirley Ladd of Barnstead, New Hampshire. Shediedafter a fallat Acadia National Park.
Ladd was hiking the Precipice trail on Champlain Mountainwith a friend. She was somewhere near the top of the trail when she fell about 60 feet.
Park rangers responded to the scene and called in about 30 people to help, including members of the Bar Harbor Fire Department as well as Mount Desert Island Search and Rescue.
Ladd was taken by Life Flight to Eastern Maine Medical Center where she died Saturday evening.
She is remembered as a hard working senior at U. Maine. The 22-year-old worked for campus recreation for a number of years. Her directors say she always did her job with passion.
"She had a wide effect on all of us...so it {the tragedy} came as a real shock," said Jeff Hunt, who is the university's director of campus recreation,"and we're all very sad about his and trying to support each other and trying to work through it."
Park rangers at Acadia are still trying to figure out what caused Ladd to fall. Anybody who was on the Precipice Traillast Saturdayand might have witnessed the fall is asked to contact park headquarters at (207)-288-8791.

MILLINOCKET, MAINE — The huge mills along the Penobscot River roared virtually nonstop for more than a century, turning the dense Maine forests into paper and lifting the thousands of men who did the hot and often backbreaking work into the middle class.
But the mills have struggled in recent years, shedding thousands of jobs. Now this area, whose well-paying jobs provided an economic foothold for generations of blue-collar workers, has become a place where an unusually large share of the unemployed are seeking economic shelter on federal disability rolls.

Select your all-time Springbok dream team and stand a chance to win R3 000 in cash!
Get Sport24 on your mobile
The U.S. Open and Australian Open champion said a busy spring schedule overexerted her right shoulder and wrist. She will not be able to hold a tennis racket for the next couple of weeks while she recovers.
Clijsters will also miss the Madrid Open in the first week of May but hopes to resume her season on clay in Rome on May 9, giving her two weeks to prepare for the French Open.
"I don't want to force anything," she said on her website. "I want to avoid at all cost that this becomes chronic."
Despite promises to take it easy and limit her tournaments, Clijsters acknowledged she had already taken on too much this year. After she capped a stint Down Under with victory in the Australian Open, she played Fed Cup and Paris in February before moving to the United States for two long tournaments.
First, she pulled out of Indian Wells in the fourth round with a shoulder injury and lost in the quarterfinals in Miami last week to eventual champion Victoria Azarenka with a strangely listless performance.
Even then, the signs were already there.
"I felt something was not quite right," Clijsters said. "There were too many successive aches and pains that just didn't want to disappear. It gets into your head."
The injury is a bitter blow to Belgium, who face a strong challenge from the Czech Republic at home in Charleroi next week. Early in the season, Justine Henin was forced into retirement because of injury. So instead of featuring two of the game's greatest players, Belgium will be relying on No. 23 Yanina Wickmayer and No. 103 Kirsten Flipkens to face the Czechs.
"I was really looking forward to that Fed Cup," Clijsters said.
She wants a good showing at Roland Garros, where she was twice a losing finalist and forced to miss it last year.
At 27, she still wants to shine once at the Olympics in London next year, before letting the pull of family take over again.

I've added edge shading to the latest build, 298 (click here to play). It's not perfect yet, but it's actually quite handy for seeing which items are on which height levels. I also made a small optimization to lighting to help render somewhat faster, although there are additional optimizations to speed this along.
Here's a screenshot with edge shading and lighting turned on:
And here's the same area without it:
Great! just adds that extra bit :-)
Looks awesome with it! Awesome job.
Thanks :D
