Fan Walk fanfare for Norway friendlyComment on this story
Cape Town – Tickets for Bafana Bafana's match against Norway at Cape Town Stadium in January have gone on sale and are expected to be snapped up by locals starved of live international soccer.
The City of Cape Town said the match was scheduled for 8.15pm on January 8.
"A full Fan Walk activation along Somerset Road in Green Point will be in operation, and fans can expect to be enthralled by the colourful sights and sounds we all remember from the 2010 World Cup," a source said.
General seating tickets are priced at R50 and R100 and are available from Computicket.
Meanwhile, Sport Minister Fikile Mbalula – or Mr Razzmatazz, as he's also known in some circles – has promised that the Afcon soccer tournament next year will be a "real humdinger".
He said marketing and publicity for the event would soon get under way using funds from various cities in addition to contributions from the Treasury.
Mbalula – who was responding to questions in the National Assembly on Wednesday – promised MPs the event would be "a humdinger".
IFP MP Mkhuleko Hlengwa expressed concern that "Afcon is a few weeks away, but there is a general silence in South Africa".
"What's going to be done?" he asked.
Mbalula responded: "You are going to see visibility and marketing of Afcon like you've never seen it before.
"It's not going to be razzmatazz, but a humdinger. We are approaching exciting moments."
Just over R130 million from various cities had been set aside to market the event, in addition to the R200m allocated by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan in his medium-term budget last month. Cape Town will not host any Afcon games. – Cape Argus

I'm sorry for not being around folks. Life has been hectic! Allow me to summarize the past year.
- I put ZxT on the back burner. I'm actively fixing that as of this month, but I have some be brainstorming to do first. Expect rewrites.
- Adrian Monjula proposed to me! I accepted of course, but there's no rush.
- I now have two jobs, one being mostly third shift. It's exhausting but since Monj and I didn't make enough money with two part time jobs, I picked another one up. I work 56 hours a week. Oy!
- I moved from Gaia to a healthier, less money-grubbing avatar site called Recolor.me. It's honestly doing amazingly well for having opened in April!
- I have gotten back into MMOs. FFXI at the moment, when I can.
- I rarely draw anymore. Writing is just more satisfying. I do want to get back into drawing some day though.
- Lost both of my grandfathers this fall. One died of old age, the other killed by a distracted driver while he was standing on a sidewalk. Still shocked honestly.
- I don't know if DA is right for me anymore - I've been enjoying tumblr a bit more, since it's simple and not full of ads. I have a personal tumblr, Tet has his own tumblr and there's a tumblr that has some ZxT spoilers and brainstorming from me.
Please don't hesitate to comment or note me for contact info - I miss my DA friends!
Love you guys!

Alsop's art gang take over the AJ Small Projects awards
AJ Small Projects judge Will Alsop surprised the audience last week when he revealed that the runner-up team at Lincoln Miles Architecture were not really architects at all
One is an architectural technologist, the other, an artist, a fact which appealed to the part-time painter, who claimed, in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, that this was what landed the practice a podium position at the awards ceremony.
The more arty-than-architectural evening continued when winner, Jellyfish Theatre designer Martin Kaltwasser, grabbed the mike from Will to recite a poem in honour of the team that built his design.

Animal charity accused of wrongdoing
You don't want to see pets suffer, and you may even give money to help dogs and cats in need.
But now a national pet charity rescue based in Portland is getting complaints over how it handles your money.
Another charity filed a complaint with the Oregon Department of Justice about the Animal Miracle Foundation and Network or AMFN.
Paws for the Cause Feral Cat Rescue near Detroit, Mich., was raising money last year for a cat named Snow, a victim of abuse. Paws for the Cause founder Laura Wilhelm-Bruzek said someone tied Snow's paws together and poured a chemical on him that caused severe burns.
She posted pictures of Snow online with a request for donations.
But she said she was shocked to find out that AMFN posted pictures of Snow on the AMFN site, and asked for donations to be sent to AMFN, instead of to Paws for the Cause.
"We had no clue they were fundraising for us. We had never even spoken to them," said Wilhelm-Bruzek.
Wilhelm-Bruzek contacted the founder of AMFN, Colleen Paige, and said Paige told her there was no time to contact Paws for the Cause because Snow's case was so urgent.
Wilhelm-Bruzek said AMFN sent one $110 donation a day after AMFN posted Snow's pictures. But she said AMFN kept up the pictures and donation request, without providing any further donations.
"We'll never really know how much they actually raised," said Wilhelm-Bruzek.
She added that some of Snow's supporters told her they sent in more than $110 to AMFN on Snow's behalf.
"So then we were able to start adding numbers up," Wilhelm-Bruzek said. "From the few people that came forward, we already had over $110 in just those people, so we knew there was some sort of pocketing of money going on."
Another animal charity said it also had a problem with AMFN.
DFW Rescue Me posted pictures of a puppy named Justice last year as well. Justice had been tortured and burned, and needed money for medical help.
The group says AMFN asked to raise money for Justice and the group agreed.
Justice only lived a few more days. Online records show the AMFN organization posted a note about his passing.
DFW Rescue Me said months after Justice died, AMFN posted again, saying Justice was alive and asking for more money to be sent to AMFN.
The KATU Problem Solvers contacted Paige about the complaints from other charities.
Paige told us by phone and in email that she is not mishandling anyone's money, that she does not make a cent from the fundraising and that her organization has helped many abused animals.
She added that she has started several events, including National Dog Day and National Cat Day to help animals find homes.
She said the allegations in the complaints are not true.
She said she did not understand why Wilhem-Bruzek of Paws for the Cause filed a complaint with the state of Oregon.
"The only thing I can think of is that she's jealous because I am founder of National Cat Day and she wants to be," said Paige.
Online, Paige claims she is the "Oprah of the Dog World," a dog psychologist, a former firefighter and paramedic in Los Angeles and more.
We tried to verify some of those claims.
On her LinkedIn resume, she says she received an M.S. in zoology at Cal-Poly Pomona, an A.A.S. to be a paramedic at Mount San Antonio College in California, and says she studied music at UCLA. We checked with all three schools, but none could find any records for her.
We checked in with the Los Angeles Fire Department, and the personnel department said it had no record of her working as a firefighter.
We contacted Paige about the discrepancies in her resume, and asked her if there was some sort of confusion about her educational background. We also asked her where and when she worked as a firefighter and paramedic.
She refused to answer our questions. Instead, she issued a statement saying that she is the victim of an online stalker and a smear campaign.

Balancing the books in Oxfordshire
Children's centres, roads and social care - all will be feeling the pinch as Oxford County Council struggles to balance its books. Councillors have been voting today on how best to save millions of pounds. As Divya Kohli now reports, it means all departments will have to tighten their belts.
Day care centre charges: pensioners' views
Council tax looks set to rise 1.99% in Oxfordshire as the council aims to save £77m between now and 2017. The biggest savings will be £28m in Adult Social Care. Charges for day centres will triple in the next two years. Divya Kohli asked pensioners for their views.
Council tax rise and cuts to services in Oxfordshire
Council tax looks set to rise 1.99% in Oxfordshire as the council aims to save £77m between now and 2017.
The biggest savings will be £28m in Adult Social Care. Charges for day centres will triple in the next two years from £4.18 a day to £15 for five hours for pensioners.
Other proposals include an £800,000 cut from the children's centres budget but the council insist none of Oxfordshire's 44 centres will close. The council will also introduce 24-hour charges at park & rides.
Kent budget cuts: full report
For the third year running council tax in Kent will be frozen. But it will mean the loss of at least another one hundred jobs - and a raid on emergency funds.
The county council - one of the biggest in Britain - is slashing its spending by nearly ninety million pounds to balance the books after cuts in government grants.
John Ryall talks to Kent County Council's leader, Paul Carter and Councillor John Simmonds.
Kent's budget: council's comments
Kent County Council Budget: latest headlines
Kent County Council has announced it needs to lose 100 posts as part of a drive to save £16 million.
It needs to make £90 million of savings in total from a budget of just over £1 billion
Leader Paul Carter says some of the job losses will come through natural wastage and that many would be from back office positions. He's stated that there would be little impact on frontline services.
West Sussex fire service budget cuts consultation ends
A public consultation into a cost saving plan by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service comes to an end today. Proposals include reductions in support staff and managers and changes to some response arrangements.
The proposals could reduce the service's budget by £2.5 million. It's part of West Sussex County Council's bid to cut its costs by seventy-nine million pounds.

Stone the crows, what a difference a day makes. If I didn't know better I would have said that I'd woken up in April. Verging on tropical considering we had snow less than two weeks ago. It would therefore have been rude not to celebrate what might be the first day of spring, by cracking out the ballet pumps and light coloured bag (any excuse). However, might have been a plan to look outside at the ground before getting all carried away and deciding on an outfit. Rain yesterday = wet and soggy underfoot. New ballet pumps = rather bad idea.
So here's how it went today
Beige linen v neck t-shirt (just seen) - Zara
Distressed skinny biker jean - By Malene Birger
Grey and beige blazer - Zara
Nude and fuchsia camel print scarf - Virginia Johnson
Rose gold ballet pumps - Zara
Tan rivet cuff - Mulberry
Sunglasses (completely justified today) - Tom Ford
Vanilla (not yellow despite how it looks in the photo!) Roxanne - Mulberry
You can't tell but I am wearing hugely glamorous pop socks which hail probably from somewhere as exotic as Sainsburys or Tesco. I've spared you a photo.
The Virginia Johnson scarf, as I haven't done a close up of it yet and it's one of my favourite things in my wardrobe. Hard to convey how lovely it is in a photo!
And one of the ballet pumps as they're new. In the sale at Zara post Christmas. A splendid £12.99, down from £49.99. The fact that they have a leather sole and will need resoling every three wears is clearly something that wasn't relative as I was frothing at the mouth seeing the bargainous price. Fool.
Enjoy the sunshine everyone! Hopefully later, a blog on statement jewellery (well that's the plan......I reserve the right to change my mind and watch tv instead)

What I wore today (brief one!)

Those pumps are gorgeous and I love the colours in that scarf, very spring-like!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! They're ever so slightly less gorgeous now have been trashed somewhat but they were fabulously comfy. Colours are gorgeous aren't they. Scarves like that are such an easy way to add colour (and i'd never be brave enough to wear a top in that shade!)Delete
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
I have some similar leather soled pumps from Ruby and Ed and the soles are still in good nick even though I have worn them a lot so fingers crossed your soles will hold up.ReplyDeleteReplies
oh that's great to hear, thank you so much!Delete

I'm sure most of you haven't missed the news that Peter Jackson will be making The Hobbit into a movie trilogy, as opposed to filming just two movies as initially intended. Now, I'm not entirely sure if this is a good idea. When they made The Lord of the Rings there was plenty of source material to draw from and with The Hobbit, it's just like one book and that's it. Of course, they can grab something out of LotR and The Silmarillion and use that in the movie if they want, but all in all, it seems a bit too much to stretch 'The Hobbit' into three bloody movies.
I dunno.
What do you guys think?
UPDATE: Here's the P.J.'s announcement.

Three movies require three climaxes.
The Hobbit as a story ONLY HAS ONE CLIMAX.
So how exactly are the first two movies going to avoid being slow and padded, and dissatisfying at the end? They're basically going to be forced to embellish lesser scenes in the book in an attempt to pass them off as suitable climax scenes for the first two movies... and it's not really going to work.
Jackson can draw from Tolkien's appendices to pad the content, but a good movie needs a good crescendo, and the fluff that comes from Tolkien's appendices just won't provide that.
|Aug 22 2012, 08:35 am EDT
Jackson doesn't have the rights to use Silmarillion and Tolkein's estate is unlikely to sell them to him since they didn't like his LotR adaptation.

"I have the answer for those of you who say," why is one book being made into three movies, when the Lord of the Rings was 3 books and only 3 movies long". Many people don't understand how the movies came to be to begin with.... New Line Cinema took a huge gamble from the beginning when choosing to film The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. They took a gamble and gave director Peter Jackson a couple hundred million and said go make us three films. Peter Jackson filmed all 3 of the LOTR movies at one time. Then from there New Line Cinemas crossed there fingers and hoped that they would do good at the box office. The gamble surely paid off! To put a long story short, if New Line Cinemas had only of known in advance that the LOTR Trilogy was going to rake in the money that it did, im sure that each of the Lord of the Rings books would have been made into 3 movies each :) and I would have paid to go see every single one of them!"

They could have made LOTR into 9 movies easily or better still it could have been like A Song of Ice and Fire (aka Game of Thrones) and made 10 episodes per book.

How To Become Productive At Work (Part I)
Each day starts with best of intentions. There are deadlines to meet, essential work to be finished, important business meetings & phone calls and short and long-term projects to be started. As the day comes to a closure and we are wrapping up to leave, we discover that barely a fraction of what we had on our to-do list has been accomplished. As a result we make a mental note to come in early the next day, stay late, and work at weekends as well. Yes, we are busy, but are we productive?
A professional is hired for one reason, i.e., he demonstrates the potential to be productive at work. So now you are there in a cubicle, facing a computer with the expectation that you will do something good for the company. Do you feel like being stuck at work sometimes? Would you like to be more productive and feel a greater sense of accomplishment at the end of each day? Well you can. It just takes a desire and commitment to renew your habits and routines.
A productive environment leads to productive employees. The article below is divided into two parts. This week we will give an insight on why a productive environment is necessary to motivate and make employees industrious at work while next week we will focus on how can employees themselves inculcate productivity in their profession.
Why is a productive environment necessary?
Employees produce good results when their managers treat them well and the organization pays special attention to their professional needs. So the question arises: What do most talented, productive employees need from a workplace?
Good managers recognize employees as individuals and do not treat everyone at a collective level. They don't try to "fix" people and their weaknesses; instead, they excel at turning talent into performance. The key to productivity is to make fewer promises to your employees and then strive to keep all of them.
What does a great workplace look like? Gallup took the challenge and eventually formulated the following questions:
The Twelve Questions to Measure the Strength of a Workplace:
- Do I know what is expected of me at my job?
- Do I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right?
- Do I have the opportunity to do what I do best everyday?
- In the past seven days, have I received recognition or praise for doing well?
- Does anybody at my job place seem to care about me as a person?
- Is there anyone, may it be a supervisor or a colleague, who encourages my development?
- Do my opinions seem to count at my workplace?
- Does the mission/purpose of my company make me feel that my job is important?
- Are my co-workers committed to accomplishing excellence while performing their job responsibilities?
- Do I have a best friend at the organization I'm an employee of?
- Has someone at work talked to me about my progress in the last six months?
- This last year, has my job given me an opportunity to learn and grow?
The results yielded that the employees who responded positively to the 12 questions worked in business units with higher levels of productivity, profit, employee retention and customer satisfaction. It was also discovered that it is the employees' immediate manager, and not the pay, benefits, perks or charismatic corporate leader, who plays the critical role in building a strong workplace. So it implies that people leave managers, not companies. This means that if your relationship with your immediate manager is fractured, no amount of company-sponsored daycare will persuade you to stay and perform.
Relationship between managers, employees & companies:
According to the Gallup survey:
- A bad manager can scare away talented employees, hence, draining the company of its power and value. The top executives are often unaware of what is happening down at the frontlines.
- An individual achiever may not necessarily be a good manager; companies should take care not to over-promote.
- Organizations should hold managers accountable for employees' response to these 12 questions.
- They should also let each manager know what actions to take in order to deserve positive responses from his employees because an employee's perception of the physical environment is colored by his relationship with his manager.
Bring out the best:
The Great Manager Mantra is: People don't like to change that much. Don't waste time trying to put in what is left out. Try to draw out what is left in.
Managers are catalysts:
As a catalyst, the manager speeds up the reaction between the employee's talents and the achievement of company's goals and objectives. In order to warrant positive responses from his employees, a manager must:
- Select a person
- Set expectations
- Motivate the person
- Develop the person
Why does every role, performed at excellence, require talent?
Great managers define talent as "a recurring pattern of thought, feeling, or behavior that can be productively applied", or the behavior one finds oneself doing often. The key to excellent performance is: matching the right talent with the required role to be played.
"Excellence is impossible to achieve without natural talent."
Every individual is unique and everyone has his/her own personality accompanied by a dignity and self respect to go with it. Without talent, no amount of new skills or knowledge can help an employee in unanticipated situations. In the words of great managers, every role performed at excellence deserves respect; every role has its own nobility.
Comfortable environment:
In today's competitive corporate world, it is becoming increasingly important to focus on the appearance of the workplace. With a mounting number of people spending more time in their offices, the physical comfort, visual appeal and accessibility of their workplace has gained ever more importance. Wouldn't it make far better sense to retain valuable employees by making small, yet meaningful, aesthetic adjustments to their work environments?
Studies have shown that employers, who care about their employees and their work environment, have fashioned more motivated and productive people. There is a strong relationship between motivation and productivity at the workplace. Employees who are inspired will be more diligent, responsible and eventually, more industrious.
Well lit, airy & clean:
Employees spend 6 to 8 hours at their workplace every day which makes a workplace their second home. It is up to the employers to see and make sure that the office is fully facilitated and is in good working order. It must be well lit and well ventilated with the right amount of lights, fans, air-conditioning. Cleanliness is of utmost importance as there are a huge number of workers working at a job place. The offices, cubicles, rest area, washrooms, kitchen & serving area must be neat and clean. The more comfortable the working environment is more productive will be the employees.
Safety measures:
An employer must make sure that he provides a safe environment to his/her employee. The security measures outside office include security guards and parking facility. While inside the office, there must be introduced a safe environment for male and female employees to work so that if an employee has to work late hours she/he should feel safe and comfortable working in his/her office. There must be no discrimination or harassment practiced and the employee should be given equal opportunity to grow as an individual despite being male or female.
The power of recognition:
Acknowledgment is a powerful motivator. If you praise your employees and acknowledge their efforts they will feel better about themselves and about the hard work they have put in.
The saga of raise:
Sometime back it was believed that a "salary increase" is the most obvious tool for encouraging employees to work hard. Today several studies have discredited the idea. Employees do not become more productive simply because they are paid more. After all, employees do not calculate the monetary value of every action they perform. Studies show that while a raise makes employees happy, there is an abundance of other things that can accomplish the same thing.
The power of praise:
A pat on the shoulder can produce wonders. For effective management, a manager must recognize that fairness and leadership alone cannot inspire his staff to work hard. Deep inside all of us, we crave for being appreciated. Praise is an affirmation that an employee did something right, and every time he receives compliments in the workplace he pushes harder to receive the same avowal the next time around.
The importance of incentives:
Incentives even with no monetary value are just as important as praise. Incentive can be categorized as, praise with a physical form. It is actually a reward for a job well done. Managers tend to ignore the importance of non-monetary incentives while these have been found to dramatically increase employee's sense of worth in relation to actual work accomplished. They could be company logo mugs or shirts or business card holders, no matter what you decide to give to your employees as an incentive, never lose sight of the need to recognize their efforts, whether verbally or through small office gifts.

Nice writeup towards enlightening the intrinsic as well as extrinsic values one should understand and as an employer should have included in the contents of company's policies & plan of actions. However having said that like to also put a critical thought that one should adopt an approach of practicality before executing the highlighted aspects of making the company – an ideal place to work at. As firstly see the how much room you have to execute these points and then manoveur your execution accordingly because every company has a different background & a set of diversified action standards. We need to be diversified rather than conventional

Thats Great Rozee!
Likewise the previous articles its again extravaganza.But here i disagree on some points no doubt about it that appreciation & recognition plays a vital role in motivation but if you consider the current situation of financial distresses which is being faced by an average salaried employee then we can say it that salary increment is a very important factor of motivation and best utilization of employees.Although this salary increase may be not bring some substantial effect to a particular class but it brings a good impact upon that class which really under paid.If any organisation is taking care of its employe's need and plus giving a soothing enviorment at work place it will bring extra ordinary benefit for company.

I agree but I also agree with above reader that it is not necessarily to have the "Excellence is impossible to achieve without natural talent" it depends on ones personal abilities and willingness towards positive learning which can make a person real professional.

For all those employers out there, it really is an eye-opener for you and everything that was mentioned here is exactly what you need to do in order to achieve what YOU want to achieve. Productivity is not just dependent on you. Make your employees feel worthy of their presence. If they feel they are as much important and valuable to the organization as others in it, it will work wonders for all. It is a win-win situation and no one wants to feel left out.

An expert of human psychology once said that "its the "need" that drives the humans not the "want".
HR is the biggest asset of an organization and productive HR is the wish for all the organizations. Yet many fails to motivate them as motivations values varies from individual to individual.
It is perhaps a communication gap between managers and reporting staff, which leads to setting of staff's wrong expectations and hence under/poor performance.
I would like to reiterate two points over here.
1. Commit to your staff, which you can honour, and 2. devise a proper career progression of your staff, purely based on performance and merit.
Trust me, it does wonder to the motivation/peformance of your staff.

Sadistic managers……….. Some organizations have sadistic managers who love to torture their subordintes simply out of their own insecurities (which I think happens only in under developed or developing societies).
Maybe the top management must have slightly better awareness of what is going on at the frontlines. Why highly positive & ambitious employees turn so negative, indifferent & passive. Obviously, the reason lies with his/her immediate senior(s).
These sadistic individuals must be not be made to lead any group of bright, young, newer, promising employees. Or must be fired or demoted if sadistic approach towards their subordinates has been proved.
This can be done only when there is open communication between all the levels of organization. Be it top management, middle management or the front line staff. Open communication makes it difficult for such sadistic managers to continue to oppress those they dislike (for whatever reasons), spread fabricated rumours about the employee(s) they're jealous of & come out clean & deny that they have anything to do with turning the employees so negative.
Open & easy exchange of ideas/communication between all the levels of a company is a very important factor, IMO, to provide a better, non-suffocating atmosphere to the employees working for that organization.

as of my personal experience many times people leave the companies just bcz of their bosses…but more over it is a widespread reality now is the time over for a typical bureaucratic, exploitative, manipulative, derogatory , intimidating, threatening & unfair attitude. The companies which acclaim their employees can only survive in todays cutthroat & competitive world…no matter a CEO or a frontline document controller they belong to the same company….missions n objectives same….but people don't care…they abuse the managers who misbehave them at their back…n when its excruciating they eventually leave the company…..RESULT: company suffers; not the managers…..so giving admiration is free of cost…but if an resourceful employee leaves it can cost the company enormous asset

That's true Kashif Alam. And you'll be surprised to know that I have seen managers who intentionally oppress their bright & newer subordinates only to make them leave. They 'want' them to leave because they want their organization to lose the valueable talent, human resources. These managers actually harm the company by doing that. The top management must be very careful to recognize what's going on.

Faisal, start looking out for other better opportunities already. If you're dedicated & competant, really you do not need to stay with who do not recognize your efforts. I think you lack leadership qualities. Maybe that's why they needed to put someone else as your boss. While you build those qualities, also take some time out to look for better opportunities. Really, becoming a doormat or working like a donkey without recognition is not going to help you. So start looking now. It will take a while until you land something good.

Marcie Sheehy and her daughter, Carrie Hermens, brand cattle with their family and neighbors. This spring, they will open up a Wallowa ranch house to guests looking for an authentic ranch experience. (KATY NESBITT/The Observer)
WALLOWA — The Wallowa County ranching lifestyle may not seem extraordinary to most rural dwellers, but to those in urban areas, life on a working ranch could be intriguing enough to travel to Eastern Oregon for a taste of it for themselves.
For many years, the local 4-H Extension office has partnered with Sunnyside Elementary in Portland, bringing in city kids to spend a weekend feeding cows, checking calves and trailing cattle. The Sheehy and Hermens families of Wallowa have a similar idea of attracting urbanites to the country for a few days to get their hands dirty and sun on their face.
Last spring, the two families leased the Diamond Prairie Ranch, which sits at the foothills of the Wallowas just as the Wallowa River makes its way into the canyon heading west. The Sheehys and Hermens were looking for cattle and sheep pasture when they rented the ranch, but it came with a farmhouse built in 1901.
Carrie Hermens started dreaming about what to do with the house.
"We didn't need to live in it, so I started thinking of ways to put it to use," she said.
Hermens got the idea from traveling abroad and from Scottie Jones, a woman in Alsea who started Farm Stay U.S., an Oregon-based company focused on developing a network of working farms and ranches around the U.S. that offer overnight accommodations for travelers.
A little paint and some minor repairs and Hermens and her mother, Marcie Sheehy, said the ranch house could be ready by April 1.
The agreement with the county is for the families to provide lodging for guests who would participate in farming and ranching activities. The conditional-use permit granted by the planning commission allows up to five unrelated persons to stay in the house.
A farm stay is an unusual use for a ranch, so Planning Director Harold Black looked into it.
Black said he contacted the Benton County planning director, where Jones runs her Leaping Lamb Farm Stay.
"He emailed me their findings for conditionally permitted activities in an (Exclusive Farm Use) zone," Black said. "The state has some revised statutes for agritourism, but the uses address events, not people coming to the farm."
Hermens said she sees it to be a boarding and educational experience for those who want to learn more about ranching.
"There can be contentious points urban people are worried about, so it's a way to open a dialog and make it a positive thing," Hermens said.
Unlike a bed and breakfast, guests will be on their own to make their meals, but will be welcome to join the families as they go about their day-to-day work on the ranch.
Neighbors Amy Lou and Norman Werst sent a letter of support to the planning commission as well as the ranch's owner, James Smekjal.
"I think it's a positive thing and beneficial since more and more people don't understand where their food comes from," said Ken Wick, planning commission chairman.
Hermens said there are only two or three farm stays in Oregon and the others are more like dude ranches.
"This is done all over the world, but not so much in the U.S. She said Leaping Lamb is booked all the time and allows for a real-farm experience, much as she would like to offer.
Black said when the Rural Design Assistance team put out a document on economic development one aspect it listed was to promote the county as a campus and educate people as to what rural life is like.
Commission member Ramona Phillips said she has hosted students from Portland through the 4-H exchange program and thought the farm stay would be a benefit to the county as well as guests.
Hermens said her family started leasing the ranch this year.
"All summer I've been mowing lawn and thinking about this historic, beautiful place and how we could share it," Hermens said. "We run cattle and grow hay and would like to communicate with people who have no experience and don't have the opportunity to go to a ranch, especially one this beautiful, and meet a ranch family and be a part of it."
She said she sees it to be different than a dude ranch because they run an authentic, modern ranching operation.
"It's not a huge corporation, not even a huge ranch. It's a normal size for Wallowa County, a size of ranch that is dying out in the U.S," she said. "I hope to have a lot of informal discussions and find out what the guests are interested in about first-hand knowledge of agriculture. It's a way to get our story out there. Everyone else is good at getting their story out, like environmentalists."

"Planet of the Titans" Revisited

Re: "Planet of the Titans" Revisited
I know this sounds prehistoric, but I don't actually have a digital camera, and my 35mm broke about 3 years ago. I tried taking a picture with my laptop just now, but even under kitchen halogen lighting, it was just mush, out of focus and indistinct.
One more thing of note; if any of you have seen SPY WHO LOVED ME, the bond that Adam designed just before he worked on STAR TREK, you may remember the huge submersible structure in the film. I've always thought the pontoons looked like warp nacelles, and it is even funnier now, because his trek enterprise nacelles didn't look as much like them as this ATLANTIS thing in SPY. Maybe he was afraid he'd be repeating himself.
I also just thought of something in reality that might have inspired that 'open' saucer section. In a really horrible movie called CONCORDE AIRPORT 79, which can be screamingly funny if you're in the right mood, there is a sequence inside a big airport (france?) and it is filled with escalators in tubes if I recall correctly. Anybody who has seen this POS will probably remember the location, as it is the only element in the movie that looks interesting and doesn't have matte lines.
I gotta get back to the book now.

Boing-Boing has a transcript of WorldChanging ally #1 Bruce Sterling's recent keynote for the 2004 SIGGRAPH conference, wherein he takes on "blobjects," the digital manipulation of industrial design, and "spimes" -- the next iteration of material objects (the order is: artifacts, the tools of subsistance farmers and gatherer-hunters; machines, used by customers in an industrial society; products, used by consumers in a military-industrial complex; gizmos, used by end-users in our current era; and finally spimes, used by "wranglers" -- all of which makes sense if you read the speech).
Alex adds: On second reading, I think this is the most important speech/rant Bruce has laid on us since the original Viridian Design speech. It's Viridian 2.0, essentially. Do yo'self a favor. Read it. ((Except -- Jesus God! "Spime" is an awful word. An insult to the tongue, an injury to the ear, and, to my mind, at least, utterly forgetable. We must be able to do better than "Spime."))
This is both classic Sterlingian oratory and a dead-on hit of what dematerialization means for a bright green future:
"Having conquered the world made of bits, you need to reform the world made of atoms. Not the simulated image on the screen, but corporeal, physical reality. Not meshes and splines, but big hefty skull-crackingly solid things that you can pick up and throw. That's the world that needs conquering. Because that world can't manage on its own. It is not sustainable, it has no future, and it needs one.
It is going to get one from you.
Now let me briefly tell you how I think this process will play out.
Listen to this: ProE, FormZ, Catia, Rhino, Solidworks. Wifi, bluetooth, WiMax. Radio frequency ID chips. Global and local positioning systems. Digital inventory systems. Cradle-to-cradle production methods. Design for disassembly. Social software, customer relations management. Open source manufacturing.
These jigsaw pieces are snapping together. They create a picture, the picture of a new and different kind of physicality. It's a new relationship between humans and objects.
If you can bear with me a while today, and kind of oil and loosen the joints of your incredulity, I'm gonna suspend some disbelief for you here.
You see, the future is already here, it's just not well distributed yet.
I really hate to say this as BruceS is a fine orator and a great writer, but I found this keynote to be relatively uninspiring, particularly compared with his other excellent speeched like the Viridian Design Speech, the Geeks and Spooks rant, or the Open Source speech.
As I said to Howard in email, I think I fall somewhere betwen the two of you in my reaction: Bruce raises some interesting ideas, but I don't think it's Viridian 2.0 yet. Maybe the next iteration of the speech...

A bright way to maximize your savings.
TFSAs are a smart savings option for:
- People who have savings and want to shelter their investment earnings from taxation
- People who have maxed out their RRSPs, and want to explore additional tax-efficient options
- People who want easy access to funds before retirement, and want to keep their investment income tax-free
- People who want to make sure that their savings don't impact their eligibility for government benefits and tax credits
Here's how a Tax-free Savings Account can help you maximize your savings and minimize your taxes
A large purchase or emergency fund
Many Canadians keep emergency funds in savings accounts, where any interest earned attracts the marginal tax rate. TFSAs are better for storing emergency money, or building up funds for a particular expenditure. There is no tax on interest earned, contribution room is replenished in the following year to match any withdrawals, and money can be withdrawn for any purpose.
Your education
You can use the Lifelong Learning Plan to use up to $20,000 of your RRSP savings for education purposes. If you don't repay the money, it is included as income and taxed.
You can use money in your TFSA for anything you wish. While deposits don't generate tax deductions like RRSPs, investment income earned in a TFSA grows tax-free, withdrawals don't have to be repaid, and you can take it out any time without tax penalties.
Your child's education
RESPs are designed to help save for a child's education, and they have the significant advantage of triggering Canada Education Savings Grants (CESG), which deposit at least an additional 20% into the plans. The investment earnings of the RESP and the CESG are included in income and taxed to the child who withdraws the funds.
If you have contributed enough to trigger the maximum CESG of $7,200 per child, and your child is age 18, gift $5,500 to your child, who can then use this amount to open a TFSA. Save even more (which can then be withdrawn completely tax free).
Buying your first home
The Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) lets first-time buyers withdraw up to $25,000 of RRSP savings to use toward the down payment. Money borrowed via the HBP must be repaid on a schedule, or it is counted as income and taxed.
Using a TFSA to save for/buy a home has advantages. First-time buyers who want to save more than $25,000 (or $50,000 per couple) can build their savings in a TFSA (subject to maximum TFSA contribution amounts). With a TFSA, you don't pay taxes, and you don't have to repay the money. Also, withdrawals replenish the TFSA room in the next year, something that doesn't happen with RRSPs.
Buying a second property
If you're thinking of buying a larger house or an additional property, or downsizing, putting the money in a TFSA will let your savings grow tax-free. Since you don't have access to the Home Buyer's Plan, using a TFSA to save and enjoy tax advantages is smart planning.
Taxes and retirement
Earn more than your spouse
A spouse can open a TFSA using money that their spouse has gifted to them. Use this strategy together with spousal RRSP contributions and pension splitting rules, and you've got an effective, efficient way to minimize a couple's tax burden and maximize income.
Maxed out RRSP contributions
If you regularly use all your RRSP contribution room, maxing out your TFSA as well can add to your savings. This is a great way to build retirement funds on a tax-assisted basis.
Company pension plan
Company pensions are good news, no doubt about it. But having a company pension results in a Pension Adjustment that reduces your RRSP room for the next year. Again, putting your savings into a TFSA effectively helps to build your retirement funds.
RRIF withdrawals
If you're 71 or older and have to make RRIF withdrawals, but are lucky enough not to need the money, put the withdrawals into a TFSA. You'll continue to grow your savings on a tax-assisted basis, and you won't have to worry about taxes when you decide to use the money.
Government benefits
RRSP withdrawals can result in triggering the OAS claw back. TFSA earnings and withdrawals don't affect these and other income-tested benefits at all. While the benefits of RRSPs may be debatable for lower-income earners, the benefits of TFSAs are clear: they provide the tax deferral benefits of an RRSP without any of the drawbacks.

In the
examples that comes with Tomacat, I have a question regarding the number guess JSP and bean. I will not give the code here since many of you already have it.
Question: What causes the "setGuess" method of the "NumberGuessBean" bean to get called when the form is submitted. I do not see the connection.
Thanks for the help. I am just getting started with JSP and Beans.

I don't have the code with me now. However, i looked at this example before. I think, setGuess method is called automatically when you have <jsp:setProperty> directive. If you use property="*" in your attribute,
will match the method to the property and invokes it automatically. So the setGuess method is called at the beginning when the page is loaded. When the action is not specified, i believe the submit button refer to the page itself. One way to find out when it is called, you can add one line of code in all the method(System.out.println("setXXX called")
. Then observe the dos or shell console when you hit the page. Hope i am right.

The JSP uses the following:
<jsp:useBean id="numguess" class="num.NumberGuessBean" scope="session"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="numguess" property="*"/>
So you were correct about the "*".
However, I still do not see how that tag causes the "setGuess" method of the bean to be invoked.
Still need help.

setGuess may have one argument that correspond to the form field in your jsp page. When you hit submit, the form field is matched by the server with the property. Once it finds the match, the method is invoked (this is my interpretation only). Try use println statement in both your .jsp and bean, then you will know where and when it is called.

Here is the form:
<form method=get>
What's your guess? <input type=text name=guess>
<input type=submit value="Submit">
Here is the Bean method called:
public void setGuess(
guess) {...
The method is getting called when the submit is done. I verified that already.
From your explanation, this is being done because the method parameter name is "guess"?
Please let me know if I understand you correctly. That seems like a wierd way to have a bean method invoked. Wouldn't there be conflicts if the parameter name is being used?
Thanks again for your replies.

Don't make life more difficult than you need to! The useBean tag is designed, as its name implies to use Javabeans. Javabeans have properties, such as firstName, city - or guess. The useBean tagset understands that when you want to set a property, you must call the bean-mandated method setXXX and to get a property, call getXXX. where XXX is the property name. So to set the property "guess", the tag invokes "setGuess".

Yes the '*' invokes all the set methods whose name match exactly as the request parameter.Here is an excerpt from the book "Web Development with JavaServer Pages"
When multiple form field names map directly to Bean properties you can also use
the special wild card character �*� in the place of a property name. Using a wild
card indicates that you wish to set the value of any Bean property whose name corresponds
to the name of a request parameter. The names must match exactly as
there is no way to map parameters to properties with different names when the wild
card is used. For each property of the Bean, a matching request parameter is looked
for. Extra request parameters are ignored, though they can be accessed through
scriptlets and the implicit request object.

'Growth of marine plants and animals on vessel hulls, or biofouling, is the main way these pests arrive,' Ms Burrows said. 'The boat 'sleeve' we are using today provides a method of quarantining the vessel's hull for treatment so that identified pest threats can be better managed.'
'The special encapsulation device, called an IMProtector (Invasive Marine Pest protector), is designed to be positioned around a vessel while it is still in the water and generally requires only a few personnel to operate.'
Ms Burrows said the special hull sleeve was manufactured for use in Broome and the owners of a local vessel Intombi had kindly allowed their boat to be used for this week's trials.
'The device is of sufficient size to fit most illegal foreign vessels which may be encountered in the region, but it can also be used for other vessels up to a similar size,' she said.
'Once the vessel is encapsulated the threat is immediately reduced before numerous treatments, such as chemicals or heat, can be used to kill the organisms.'
The State Government has invested $9.4 million over the next two years to boost WA's defences against significant aquatic biosecurity risks.
Ms Burrows said the Department of Fisheries was the lead agency responsible for aquatic biosecurity in Western Australian waters.
'The department has a dedicated team of staff involved in policy, research and compliance, who work to reduce the risk of invasive marine species entering our State's important marine environment,' she said.
'It has been estimated that, of the 250 non-indigenous marine species identified in Australian waters, approximately 75 per cent have arrived as biofouling on vessels. A number of these species are considered to be invasive pests, because they breed quickly and over-run our native species.'

This Winter I am ramping up my selection of studio sample albums. I have (finally!) narrowed down six amazing albums from various vendors in a range of sizes and prices that are sure to delight. More to come on each album, but today I'm sharing a sample layout I created from a recent family portrait session in Auburn, NH.
I favor album layouts that are either symmetrical or asymmetrical but they always have to be full bleed (image printed so it runs off the page) or on white. The photos should speak for themselves so I stay away from overly designed pages that include text, doodles, or layered images with borders. I want my album pages to be clean and modern looking and more importantly, to stand the test of time. The white background allows the photos to breathe in the same way a white gallery allows its artworks to breathe. (The gray border here is only to add separation between layout pages.)
Photographs age like fine wine you know, so it's only right they are preserved with care.

Sync was only added from around Q3 2012.
My Focus was built 25th May 2012.
I'm actually quite glad from the horror stories I have been hearing, plus I have directional controls for the HU on my steering wheel, which is so much better for safely navigating my usb stick.
Syn has worked flawlessly for me with a 500gig HD connected. The lack of directional controls on the steering wheel bugs me, but most of the down side is mitigated by the voice control, which (despite being sceptical) I've found incredibly accurate and intuitive.
I guess it's a trade-off. The voice control is a lot better for finding music than directional controls, but on those occasions when you need to navigate manually (like searching through a list of albums when you can't remember the name of the one you're looking for), the lack of steering wheel controls is a pain.
