Dear Readers: Saving money never goes out of style. With groceries costing more and more, here are some simple hints to cut costs the next time you go to the grocery store:
■ Plan your meals for the week, using coupons or items that are on sale in the store's weekly flier.
■ Go on the computer to check manufacturers' websites for online coupons, especially on the most expensive name brands you use.
■ Try a meat-free meal once a week, because meat tends to cost the most.
■ Buy meat in bulk, especially when on sale. Freeze in portions you can use for later meals.
■ Be sure to stock up on items you use all the time when you find them on sale.
■ Share a warehouse membership with a friend. Split the cost of items you can both use.
■ Never shop on an empty stomach. That's how you end up with purchases that you don't need! — Heloise
Dear Heloise: With the Fourth of July almost here, I am planning my usual menu of hot dogs and hamburgers for several friends and family members. Since I have grilled so many hot dogs through the years, I have discovered this easy hint.
I take two skewers and stick them through up to five or six hot dogs at a time. Now, with one motion, I can evenly cook multiple hot dogs, and they will not roll off the grill rack, either. — Michael S. in Tennessee
Dear Heloise: I am often tempted to buy smoked paprika when I see it in the store. However, I am really not sure how to use it. Do you know anything about this spice? — Carly F., via email
Smoked paprika is made from sweet, red bell peppers. The peppers are smoked over wood to create a smoky flavor before being ground up. It's much more flavorful than plain paprika, so you won't need to use so much in your cooking. Add it to any egg or meat dish, or even rice or potatoes. — Heloise
Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 210-HELOISE or email it to email@example.com.

Guild blames declining dues, investment losses
HOLLYWOOD — On the heels of declining dues and investment losses, the Screen Actors Guild plans to cut 35 of its 440 employees.
SAG national exec director David White notified staffers about the cuts in a memo sent Monday, two days after the guild's national board approved a $60 million budget for the fiscal year starting May 1.
"To correct a serious gap between our expected revenue and costs, the budget calls for a significant reduction in our expenses, including the elimination of certain staff positions," White said. "The loss of even one position in our professional family is difficult for all of us, and few words can offer relief. Nonetheless, I have asked all employees nationwide to convene tomorrow morning so that I, and our executive team, can speak directly to you about this situation and its consequences."
White did not elaborate in the memo as to which departments would see cuts.
White, who replaced the fired Doug Allen three months ago, told the board during the meeting that the cuts were necessary to close a $6 million operating deficit.
One board member said that the deficit also stemmed from the board not exercising enough authority over Allen's spending during his two-year tenure. Control of the board shifted to moderate SAG members last fall.
SAG members have seen declines in feature work over the past year due to the uncertainty stemming from a possible strike. In addition, SAG's share of primetime work has fallen as nearly all TV pilots signed with the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists, which shares jurisdiction on shows shot on digital.
According to the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers, SAG actors have lost a potential $67 million in wage hikes due to its leaders' refusal to accept the feature-primetime deal when it was first offered last July. SAG's national board OK'd that deal Sunday, triggering a ratification vote.
Leaders of the WGA West recently cut 18 jobs, or about 10% of its staff, due to investment losses and declining dues.

"For us it's a big game, I'd have to say if you look at Texas Tech, they've played up to this point better than we have. You have a common opponent in Iowa State, they beat them at home. They had a big win against West Virginia and they've played some tough opponents and they're still 5-1. We have a tough challenge on our hands. We'll get ready to go just like we did last week. Last week everyone was throwing in the towel."
"I felt like it was the first time we practiced like we really needed to. We really worked on the up tempo; good on good was really good. That's what you have to do if you want to win week after week in this league. You have to be ready to play."
Can you talk about the process for Trevone (Boykin) in facing one of the best defenses?
"It hasn't changed, you got to go play. The week before he turned the ball over and this week we were able to run the ball and we didn't turn the ball over and he did a great job of running the offense. There's a big difference between the schematics of Tech's offense and defense and Baylor's offense and defense. Every week presents a new problem."
Do you expect this to be a tough defensive game?
"No, but I think both defenses will play a part. I think the team that can create takeaways and get stops is going to be critical. Playing these kinds of games comes down to how you play in the red zone. Don't give up big plays and how do you play in the red zone. You've got to make people kick field goals."
How much does having Chad (Glasgow) back help you this week?
"No more than what they have, they worked against the defense last year and he worked against the offense. So, not that much more."
What do you see is the biggest difference in Tech and the reason they've been able to improve defensively?
"They have a lot of returning starters and I think Coach Kaufman and his group came in with a wealth of experience and done a great job. They brought in some new JC guys. But, I don't think it's just their defense, they're running the ball better, they're physical up front, they're big and they throw the ball around. Obviously the quarterback has done a great job. You've got to give them positives for everything they've done up to this point."
What are you impressions of their quarterback (Seth Doege)?
"Good, he's been around for a while. He doesn't make a lot of bad decisions and he can scramble and get himself out of problems. There's a reason why they've won ball games."
What did you learn about your defense last week with them being challenged?
"You're going to be challenged in this league throwing the football. One touchdown was knuckleheads and one was my fault. I called a blitz and put a safety on Terrance Williams which wasn't a very smart move. We didn't call that ever again. Everybody has a guy that can go in this league. For us the key is to keep getting better. I don't even talk to them about yardage, I talk to them about points and stops and I'm proud of them; I think we lead the nation right now in takeaways. When we have played passing teams we've had success."
Are your players aware that last year this team didn't want to play you?
"It wasn't that their team didn't want to play us. Their coach just said because they were young it would be better to schedule a different way and that's the way I took it. They're upset set with us right now and saying it's a revenge game because they said we said they were chicken. Nobody at TCU, not Gary Patterson, not my team, nobody said that. It can be for the fans and media people but outside of that I'm going to go play a ball game on Saturday. But everyone changes games, the Arkansas game has been pushed back about ten times and nobody makes a big deal out of that. Everybody does it. Coaches make business decisions, there's no such thing as a coach or team that doesn't want to go play somebody. They do it so you can have a better business model."
Where do you see this team and how they've responded?
"We're hitting the grind. I thought they were still sluggish coming off the Iowa State game, I didn't think until the afternoon the last walk thru before we got on the bus to go over to Baylor, because the morning walk thru wasn't good. When we're dealing with a young football team, I'll take every minute. We have never walked thru when we got off the bus here at the stadium, we've always gone to the locker room. But, I'll promise you there's a great chance we're walking thru the indoor with this group. The last 2:30 game we played here, we didn't play very well. I've got to get my group ready to go and how we do that is a big deal."
How is Stansly Maponga?
"It'll probably be the rest of the season because he's got a foot injury it will be how he can tolerate the pain. At some point in time after the season he's probably going to have to have surgery, it's the same thing he had as a freshman in his other foot. How he tolerates will depend on whether he can play. So, every week he's going to be a game time decision to be honest with you. Josh Carraway is a guy that we'll start working in our two-a-days, we wanted to redshirt him as a defensive end but we'll start working him this week just to prepare for the next six ball games. I just assume redshirt him because he has a tremendous upside. If it means Stansly can't go the rest of the season, we have to have another defensive end."
What about Matthew Tucker?
On the Tech game and what he wants from the TCU fan base...
"I think it's going to be an unbelievable atmosphere as far as the stadium is concerned, probably the best since the 2009 Utah game. We're excited about that because I think it helps your players. I like playing against great competition and Tech has a very good football team. I think you find out about your football team and what you're trying to do. It's just one of those games where we find out what we can do.
"I'm going to tell you this, I need the emotion of that crowd I had at Baylor. The ones that were there were loud. Our kids noticed it and it made a difference with them. We need our stadium to be exactly the same way. The last time we played them here in 2006 there were more Red Raiders than TCU people. Can't win many home games and have home field advantage if that's the way it's going to be. We've got to get ourselves ready to go and the fans got to stay and understand they have to help us. We've got to where now that everybody comes to the stadium and it's a social event. Now we need to understand the next evolution of our stadium is – we want to make it a place you don't want to come play. We do that, we'll have exactly what we want for three hours every Saturday when we play at Amon Carter stadium. Our students are doing an unbelievable job of making sure we're trying to have a home field advantage; we've got to get the whole stadium to be the same way."

Recap: 'Heroes' - 'Turn and Face the Strange'
David Bowie was a chameleon back in the start of his rock and roll career, so it's only fitting that "Heroes" titled tonight's shapeshifting-filled episode "Turn and Face the Strange" after a line from Bowie's hit single "Changes." But the changes in tonight's episode were not merely physical, but emotional as well. Quite a few characters experience life-altering events that shattered whatever passes as "normal" life within the confines of this show.
So, if I may steal a line from tonight's resident Asian redneck, "Let's rodeo!" (And yes, that's the only time I'm going to mention him. In fact, I'm already regretting the fact that I brought him up at all.)
[Recap after the break...]
Shape Up, Ship Out
Poor Noah. I'm impressed the NBC promo monkeys didn't cut a trailer of Noah's exploits to Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" to drive home just how awful an episode he would experience. If there's a lesson to be learned from his exploits, it's this: ALWAYS LISTEN TO ANGELA PETRELLI. It's up there with answering "Yes!" when Gozer the Gozerian asks you if you're a god.
See, Noah's a smart cookie, but he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is. Sylar and Danko can't completely fool him for long, but they know how to keep him off-balance. As such, what occurred this week wasn't so much a full-on assault so much as a form of psychological jujitsu, in which the pair used Noah's instincts and emotions to do most of the work throughout the hour.
In other words, Sylar more than likely assumed his status as shapeshifter couldn't be perpetual. But he also knew that impersonating Sandra just once would be enough to throw Noah off his game. Ironically enough, it was that distrust that may have finally ended Noah's twenty-two years of marriage. Now, I've only been married less than two years, but even I know da ladies don't like it when you put a gun to the back of their head. And if they do…well, can't really help you there.
The shapeshifting trope is a tricky one: when used effectively, it keeps the audience off-balance. However, when overused, it just feels gimmicky. So, props to "Heroes" for pulling a true bait-and-switch with an HRG-less HRG tricking Danko into admitting that he and Sylar are in cahoots. However, Danko proved every bit as manipulative as Sylar later on; HRG confronted the soldier Danko identified in private, only to have Emile contradict his own confession in public. Long story short: Noah "kills" Agent Donner, runs off after Donner loses approximately 400 gallons of blood, and thus doesn't stick around to see Sylar later rise up and cough up the slug.
Sure, it's pretty lazy to have the auto-healing ability suddenly have a snooze alarm, but I'll forgive it this once since it added to not only Noah's sense of derangement, but a momentary meta-sense that one of our nominal heroes just went cuckoo for cocoa puffs. And it led to Sylar's genuinely disquieting line, "I squeezed out a little extra…for show." With HRG having officially left the building (26), let's hope the shapeshifting misdirections stop coming at a Vin Diesel-esque pace (i.e., fast and furious).
I've Got My Mind Set On You
Danko didn't only deal with the dismissal of Noah this week. No sirree, "Heroes" was chock full o' Emile this week, as Matt Parkman aimed to provide the same sense of hurt that the death of Daphne gave him. In some ways, Parkman's plan mirrored Sylar's: both wanted to destroy, not kill, their adversaries.
Parkman's plan? Plant a seed of doubt about the person closest to Danko, and follow him to said person. And said person, Elena, was a hottie! Apparently, watching Faux Emile get jiggy with that young thang in the club last week was no joke. Then again, Danko's pulled his own version of Faux Emile on this woman, telling Elena that he's Jakob, Seller of Schoolbooks. Scariest encyclopedia salesman EVER.
Parkman at first uses his mind mojo to mess with Elena, but soon realizes the affection between the two is genuine. Of course, "Jakob's" backstory is completely false, so he forces Elena to visit Danko's real apartment and makes Danko spit out the truth in front of her. Parkman's mind voodoo can sometimes come off as hysterically cheesy (go rewatch Parkman and Peter "think" their way into Building 26), but props to Zeljko Ivanek for selling the holy hell out of Danko's forced confession. Layers of hate, anger, regret, and absolute despair coat every word that comes out of his mouth as Parkman pries the truth from his mind through his unwilling lips.
Having completed that task, Parkman attempts to shoot Elena. Naturally, he falls short, as "Heroes" doesn't have the guts to turn Matt Parkman that dark. Danko seizes the chance to put a bullet in Parkman's brain, an option Parkman willingly accepts. But, halfway through the bullet's path, Hiro arrives on scene and wheels Parkman to safety. Literally. How did Hiro get there? Glad you asked!
Route Sixty Suck
The less said about this the better. Essentially, Baby Parkman is like a human LoJack when upset. So he keeps stalling the car in which Hiro and Ando are using to drive Baby Parkman to meet his father. Ando eventually hits upon a ridiculous face that keeps Baby Parkman happy, and they drive to NYC. There was also that rodeo dude but I promised to leave him out of it.
Their sole function in this episode? Provide a reason for Parkman to not go completely suicidal, or worse, go emo. So now father and son are reunited, Parkman's no longer going to play My Chemical Romance MP3s on his iPod, and maybe, just maybe, Hiro and Ando will be given something to do in this volume. It's a lot to ask, I know.
National Lampoon's Petrelli Vacation
I've been on some bad family trips in my time, but those look like downright utopian experiences when compared to the road trip taken by the Petrellis this week. They head to Coyote Sands, a little out of the way place in southwest Arizona where one can enjoy fishing, camping, and digging up the seemingly hundreds of skeletons that litter the landscape. So, you know, something for everyone.
The skeletons are the remains of something called Operation: Icarus, the latest iteration of "Heroes" trying to establish some Zero Hour for the madness we see today. Just don't ask Mohinder about Icarus, since he completely butchers the myth in his episode-ending voiceover. For some reason, his version omits Icarus' father Daedalus who built the wings that led to proud Icarus' death. In Mohinder's version, Icarus constructs the wings, not Daedalus. That kind of completely changes the meaning of the myth, but no one ever accused Mohinder of being smart. Or remotely competent. In this construction, "Operation: Icarus" implies a project designed to impart lessons upon the brash youth, too naïve to understand their own hubris. Which is why Angela then went and kept her mouth shut for a few decades. Or something. The less you think with "Heroes," the more you tend to enjoy it.
At least we're seemingly due for an Angela-centric episode soon, as we uncover (literally and figuratively) the secrets of her past. I suspect there are as many demons there as skeletons for Mama Petrelli.
In summary: two solid character-based plots connected by two flimsy road trips. Parkman, Danko, and Noah were the stars of the hour and all brought their A game. The rest of the cast was largely stranded, either forced to make silly faces at babies or barely onscreen at all. But overall, "Fugitives" is ending stronger than it started, and its hits outweigh its misses. It's no longer Must See TV, but it's a pretty pleasant watch with more than a few genuinely cool moments per week. And given its recent woes, I'll more than take that as this volume winds down.
Did Danko's backstory flesh him out or feel forced? Does the shape shifting enthrall or annoy? And is anyone else getting a "V for Vendetta" vibe from Coyote Sands?

DuPont's (NYSE: DD ) nearly 110-year streak of consecutive quarterly dividend payments has gotten a little longer. The company has declared a common stock distribution for its Q3, which is to be $0.45 per share paid on September 12 to shareholders of record as of August 15. That amount matches the firm's previous dividend, which was handed out last month. Prior to that, DuPont paid two cents less at $0.43 per share.
The firm is noted for its consistency in paying dividends. In the press release announcing the latest disbursement, the company pointed out that it will be its 436th in a row.
The just-declared dividend annualizes to $1.80 per share. That yields 3.1% at DuPont's most recent closing stock price of $57.68.


text: I think the one major problem here in this forum is that everyone assumes that Nintendo has every single classic game just sitting around waiting to go onto the virtual console and they're just holding out on us. We don't know what process it takes nintendo to get a game onto the virtual console. The process to convert a game, adapt the controls, write a virtual manual, and test it may take a month for all we know for any given game. In this case it's much different then iTunes where apple literally needs to do nothing to prepare an album for release. Can this possibly be the reason for the slow rate of release and can we cut nintendo a little slack? How pissed would you be if they release Goldeneye and there were numerous glitches and controller issues? My guess would be very. So let's let them get the job done right.

Yes, Female Armour Is Somewhat Inadequate
Discuss37 Comments | Reply
June 29, 2011 3:48 pm
This has a point.
Double standards in art direction are always identified as a problem, but developers keep maintaining them.
Related point: there was a *huge* outcry after the E3 demo for Mass Effect 3 showed Ashley (the heavily-armoured female soldier from the first game) in a skimpy catsuit with high heeled boots.
Needless to say Bioware had to quickly clarify that she'd have other options available, including armour that actually made sense (by, y'know, providing protection).
MikeZdoesit GuestJune 29, 2011 8:55 pm
I debated just letting this go but I have a couple of theories.
1: Its actually not different for guys and and there is no double standard, the stereotype for men is strength, barbarism, athletic and generally handsome when we all know 3/4 of the people playing these games are skinny / overweight hairy and debatably nothing like that (to put it in nice terms).
2: You were born without a sense of humour
3. You suffer from any number of social impairments that render woman in general as what you think they are telling you they are (when they're not). What if a chick playing wants cute / sexy armour?
4. You don't understand that a game is fiction and the relentless pursuit of realism has driven the fun factor of games and entertainment into the ground
5. You are 25 or under and know everything already anyway so whatever you say must be right and you twitter excruciating things like 'watched tv' as is every mundane activity you do is somehow interesting (which it isn't).
June 29, 2011 10:41 pm
None of that excuses the double standard. It's there and it shouldn't be.
Joking about it or calling it fiction trivialises the real impact of media on people's perceptions. You can't say "all CHICK armour has to be FOR HOTNESS YEAHHHHH" then run a mile when someone points out that it's a) objectifying and b) ridiculous.
It's also not a good idea to get defensive or insulting when people point out something you don't like.
I'm perfectly comfortable with what I said and what I do. It'd be nice if you could argue the point without getting personal.
Corgi GuestJune 30, 2011 1:01 am
1: It's completely different for guys due to fanboys' lurking fear of finding other males even vaguely attractive. Male fantasy armour rarely promotes a 'take me, big boy' ambiance.
2: You apparently don't know a sense of humour when it bites you on your well-armoured behind.
3. What if women don't want to be called 'chicks'? God, what decade do you live in?
4. I understand that a game is fiction, and if it overstresses my willing suspension of disbelief, I'm going to stop enjoying it. Putting female warriors in absurd bits of tinsel will definitely earn a sneer and a fast drop.
5. I am 25 or older, and think you've got a whole raft of attitude problems, including a superiority complex. Boy.
June 30, 2011 3:49 am
I'd usually agree that you should give games a free pass because it's fiction. But guess what, many people play games for a sense of escapism, and especially games that intend to immerse you in a well-crafted universe that strives, if not for realism, but believability.
Considering how Mass Effect, a series that goes into ridiculous lengths in its Codex to assuage science geeks and has everything anchored in practicality... Giving a female character fanservice boob armour is ridiculous.
Your attacks on other members isn't appreciated, it's juvenile and makes you look like an insecure douche. What can you possibly hope to gain with baseless accusations about another's personality, age or appearance? You know nothing about him. He's just a guy on the internet whose username is Aidan. This just cheapens and discredits your position.
cpt_threepwood @cpt_threepwoodJune 29, 2011 10:09 pm
So, if I understand correctly, we're *all* okay with a game that has scantily clad men and women? I could live with that. Choose according to your taste and everyone gets sexy.
Steve-O the Deve-O @steve-o_the_deve-oJune 29, 2011 3:52 pm
Ohhh, right in the shiny part!

Anderi GuestJune 29, 2011 4:59 pm
I've always had a problem with the ridiculous ways armour is depicted on the female form.
Cliched as hell, they'll run around in a fur bikini with maybe a crotch plate or steel bra.
Why is it so hard for designers to see a fully tanked up female warrior is hella hot?
And the Japanese are worse! Always the same "cute" design! And voice acting!! Gaaaaargh!!!
June 30, 2011 3:53 am
Japanese men (for the most part) prefer submissive and 'innocent' girls, which is why their voice actors deliberately use high pitched voices and sound like 12 year olds. And heavens alive if you let them get hit in combat, because they'd make a sound like they're being raped by their parents' murderer.
Ian GuestJune 29, 2011 5:03 pm
Dragon Age has done reasonably well on the armour front, not letting "design" choices get in the way of things like... protection.
ME however, decided that "unique" female looks (Jack especially) are more important than say, practical combat kit.
But then again, just about every MMO out there has their share of scantily clad women of all species, armour or no.
Flay GuestJune 29, 2011 9:42 pm
See the TVTropes page for a heap of examples: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChainmailBikini
I'm trying to think of examples of games which DO use practical armour (aside from Mass Effect/Dragon Age), but I'm struggling. Arena Net stated that Guild Wars 2 will have armour designs to suit 'both tastes', I guess that's *something*.
SoPP GuestJune 29, 2011 7:32 pm
Im not here to argue the wrong right of this. But surely developers do what most people want? And if people dont want it... they wont buy it. That said if the majority of people want something else, its up to game developers to do that and of course thats what Developers DO do, cause its what makes them money.
Justin GuestJuly 13, 2011 1:07 pm
Thing is that most people don't buy the games because the female characters are in skimpy clothing, we buy them for the plot or gameplay. Some people consider the skimpy clothing a bonus, some a detriment, I'd really like to see a well conducted survey on this... I'm a bit curious as to the results. Personally it depends on the character for me, if a woman is a warrior I'd rather them be armored appropriately, if its an enchantress or something similar then sexier clothing works well. Additionally, having a mix allows for another way to character build.
Casual Prolix @germinalconsequenceJune 30, 2011 12:05 am
It's kind of amusing that a woman running around in very little armour always brings out a big discussion but you throw a male barbarian running around in a fur loincloth into a game and everyone is cool with it. Or how about the "Pirate Pete" look with the shirt that reveals half of a guy's chest with his tight emo pants? Dante certainly didn't get any flak for running around bare chested in DMC 3. The Prince of Persia did a very slow undress over the course of Sands of Time and everyone was cool with that. Solid Snake has a very tightly molded camouflage suit that we don't complain about.
I think us males should start protesting against shirtless men in games and stand up for men's lib! Besides, I don't want to play as someone that looks better than I do.
sqiggles GuestJune 30, 2011 1:35 pm
SHHH!!! Stop bringing the hypocrisy to light! XD
Ill take whatever shirtless men i can get in my games, and long live molded armor! Secretly pleasing to the female eye for years ;)
twiryn GuestJune 30, 2011 8:48 pm
Yeah, men are sometimes sexualised too - Dante in any DMC is a great example. Ladies certainly have no problem with that. However, how many sexualised female characters can you think of compared to men? And how many are fun and sexy, versus unrealistic outfit just for the sexy?
As a female gamer, I like good looking men in games. I also appreciate good looking female characters, and really have no problem with them pushing reality a little bit in order to get a sexier look. It's just ridiculous when characters in combat are wearing stupidly useless clothing in terms of protection, all to expose more skin and look hotter.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota Association for Pupil Transportation (MAPT) members who can't make it to Wednesday's committee meetings in person will have another option: tuning in online.
MAPT's safety and special-education committee meetings will be held at the Saint Paul Public Schools administration building this Wednesday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Both meetings will be available in a live stream on YouTube and Google+. Web viewers will even be able to submit questions for the meeting moderators and the members in attendance by commenting via YouTube.
To view the meetings on Wednesday, go to MAPT's YouTube channel and look for the live broadcast that will be titled "MN MAPT Safety and Special Ed 01 15 2014."
Jason Schoolmeesters, who is director of transportation at North Branch Area Public Schools and serves as MAPT's webmaster, told SBF that the association began using the streaming technology in March of last year. Since then, MAPT's monthly safety and special-education committee meetings have been available as a live stream.
"Our initial hope when we began using this technology was to see more MAPT members, school districts, bus contractors and others to be able to gain important knowledge and expertise by tuning into the meetings either live or watching them at a later date," Schoolmeesters said.
On Thursday, the association will expand the use of the technology for its board meeting. A few board members can't attend in person but will be able to participate in the meeting using Google Hangouts.
Schoolmeesters added that the ability to log in live for the MAPT committee meetings has been a popular option for some members.
"We have heard from many users that they really appreciate the opportunity to be a part of these meetings using this medium and technology," he said.

Parliament - South Africa's national soccer team must stop being the laughing stock of sports, the acting chairman of Parliament's sports committee said on Tuesday.
"We must stop being laughing stock of sports... Look what has happened in Gabon," Mgolodi Dikgacwi told SA Football Association (SAFA) bosses.
"Under-preparation. This is a problem. In other countries this is not a problem."
The South African team recently failed to qualify for the Africa Nations Cup tournament to be held next year.
Dikgacwi told the soccer bosses: "We need to sort that thing out. In rugby that does not happen. It is only in soccer that this is happening. So I don't know what is what."
The SAFA delegation included deputy president Mwelo Nonkonyana and chief executive Robin Petersen.
Dikgacwi expressed concern over what he described as poor preparations by the under 23 and under 21 teams ahead of the 2014 Soccer World Cup in Brazil.
"We are not going to perform because the under 23 and 21s... they are the next Bafana Bafana," he said.
"If they don't get necessary exposure in time, we are going to be behind. If we want to do better in 2014 Brazil then preparations should start now."
Cope MP Graham McKenzie said it was "totally unacceptable" that South Africa, which would host the Africa Nations Cup, had failed to qualify for the tournament.
"Not only from a point of view of disappointment, but also there are massive implications for our country."
McKenzie said players had to be released from the Premier Soccer League to participate in the national team.
"We can't have a situation where some clubs release players and others don't," he said.
Nonkonyana told the committee SAFA had accepted joint responsibility for failing the nation.
"We didn't qualify. We have proffered our apology to the nation. We took collective responsibility. We reiterate today that apology."
Petersen said the key to having successful teams in future was to have a continuous pipeline of talented, well-developed players.
"We have commitment, we have plan and we are implementing that plan," he said.

Funding Suspended
Funding for this project was suspended by Kickstarter on May 10, 2013.
The GMOD Client: A mod management platform that "Just Works" for all your favorite games. Simple, Intuitive and Robust.
Funding for this project was suspended by Kickstarter on May 10, 2013.
~~UPDATE 6: A conversation about Garry's Mod~~
We don't make games and we don't make mods.
We make the technology that enables you to use mods with your games Faster, Safer and Easier than ever before!
Gmod is a platform designed to help you enable and disable mods without the headaches. No more unzipping, directory diving, copy-paste-overwrite, or game reinstalls. We've been pounding the code for more than two years constructing a system that will support all mod types for all games - and we're almost complete!
Several months ago we launched a closed beta with support for:
The beta was successful and we're ready add support for more games! With your help we can add support for the next batch including:
and with your help, many more...
The website is designed to make finding mods, adding them to your library, and discovering new content easy and straight forward. We also plan to extend these exploration functions to the client in a later release.
The client is designed as a holistic solution to modding. After two years of development, we've created a client that allows you to handle mods from any source, regardless of how you acquired your game. Mods you've added to your library on the website automatically sync and load to your client. Mods from others sites are also easy to use; just drop them in and we'll take care of the rest!
It's your tool to mod your game as you want.
This is our passion. As backers it's your voice that molds where we go. We understand that mod development is a labor of love for developers. They work hard to give everyone a better (or new) experience.
It's time that someone gives back.
Because mods make great games better. They provide an avenue for aspiring game developers to hone their craft. They represent the creative input of programmers, artists, and the downright ingenious. In fact, many games we enjoy today have their origin as mods of games we loved before.
Yet there exists very specific reasons why so much great content isn't fully realized.
Supporting a platform that intelligently addresses these issues expands the potential audience and unshackles creative mod developers. Allowing users to get access quickly and easily means that even more innovation can be experienced by a greater number of people. It means mod developers to get more of the recognition they deserve and that the products they create won't be missed.
Which is why we've taken this project to kickstarter. Supporting Gmod keeps us independent and focused on supporting the modding community; developers and users alike.
If you've never modded before, or haven't seen just how far they can go, we've compiled the following videos to showcase a few of the exciting things that are being done.
Here at Olympus Games, we're gamers, modders, and developers. We don't create games; instead, we work to make games better. We collaborate with game studios (many of whom directly advise the platform), mod developers, and the community to make mods easy to find, play, and share.
Four bachelors in game development and simulation, 3,000 man hours, and lifetimes of gameplay experience has brought to life the Gmod client. Our development team has spent years working on the algorithms needed to intuitively handle the robust processes and automation that our client offers.
The art team has diverse backgrounds spanning from the Seattle Art Institute to the Art Institute of Chicago. Having worked on everything from own graphic novels to video production, they bring a unique variety of perceptions and styles together. When asked to display their skillset, they drew a perfect circle…with an etch a sketch.
Our community managers get modders because they are modders. They have been developing and using mods for nearly a decade, so when they say they get mods they mean it. When not supporting the Gmod community or live-streaming on our Twitch channel they are thinking up new combinations of mods to try.
Lee Powers, CTO
Lee was a founder of Adept software, and has worked on projects for companies such as MTV, CNN, Disney, and Nickelodeon. In addition to creating advanced web architecture and rich data systems, Lee spawned an intelligent web based life-form he calls "Hal."
Grant Riddell, Operations Manager
Before joining the team at Olympus Games, Grant spent the last twelve years as an Operations Manager for everything from real estate to software development. His true passion is MMO's, where he's spent over nine years running online game communities. He also plays a mean kazoo.
Skylar Kreisher, CEO
Prior to Olympus Games, Skylar was VP of Game Services for Solid State Networks, where he introduced the "Direct" content delivery and patching middleware to market. Direct has since been used to deliver and update games for Microsoft, EA, Bigpoint, Riot Games, BioWare and is being featured in Bethesda's new MMO, ElderScrolls Online. He got his start in the game industry as a lowly compatibility tester on the Xbox in 2002. Skylar is a science nerd and spends his free time memorizing π.
To Be Announced.
There are about as many ways of displaying tier rewards as there are tier rewards, and in this section we'll provide them all. In short, they're awesome...the rewards that is...and if you're ever unsure of what rewards go where please ask us! We're more than willing to articulate these in every form possible...including smoke signals. Do ask, I've got my blanket and fire ready.
Every project faces challenges, from staffing to technical difficulties, and overcoming them is part of the process. We have dedicated ourselves to taking a hard look at what problems we face and (even more importantly) how we will address them. As such, we've found that the risks can be broken down into two hurdles; technical and funding challenges.
Hurdle One: The potential for increasing technical challenges.
The landscape of video games is changing and a greater number of publishers are seeing the benefits of providing support for community created content. With an every growing population, there comes the growing pains of many games addressing this frontier in different ways. This means that the approach we use for game 'X' won't work for game 'Y'.
This situation has manifested itself in the form of a variety of clients, that address a single approach for a single game, or a middle ware, such as steam, that requires the game be tied to it's distribution. All of these are attempts to address the technical challenges in the modding world by providing a less focused upon second option to their primary service, be it game sales or forum hosting.
Gmod is different because our client is our primary focus. We have spent two years, and thousands of man hours, to create a technical solution that allows for a robust, versatile modular system that can address every new game in a way that is specific to it's needs, while still maintaining the same excellence that our users deserve.
In fact, the features listed in the section "up to now" are functional on the beta. We work actively with publishers and mod developers to make sure that our platform meets the standard we've set for ourselves; which means it works when you use it. (Odd concept, I know) That includes relying heavily on the wisdom of our advisory team, all of whom have countless titles under their collective belts. We've a very clear road-map on how to get all of these features into Gmod, but it needs your help...because of hurdle two.
Hurdle Two: Funding.
We have very carefully appraised every feature and what it will take to make this platform a reality. It's amazingly important that we, as a company, remain free to provide support for every game we can. This means that we must remain independent from the big studios while maintaining the awesome friendships and relationships we have with them.
So in this spirit, we have evaluated the potential costs of the initial goal and the tremendous stretch goals we have planned. We've placed them at the lowest price point while still keeping a small reserve buffer between them so that each can be fully accomplished. We have taken great care to run our road-map through a variety of scenarios with our team, our advisers, and our friends at other studios to make sure that what you're backing gets to you. And, it is with your help, that these things will become a reality.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
I know it sounds crazy but Gmod can install mods no matter where you found them. The only exceptions are that we don't support .exe files, and the file archive file has to be packaged in a someone logical way. During our tests we've found that around 95% of mods are packaged in a way we can read. We accomplish this by running the file through several algorithms to determine what file goes where, then repackage it so it can be installed with our engine.
As for requiring modder support: Modders don't have to do anything special for their mod to be supported. Just package it up like normal and be sure not to include any executables.
Yes and Yes. Gmod supports every content platform so no matter how you acquired your game (retail, Steam, Impulse, Amazon, Origin etc.) we have you covered.
Steam Workshop requires the integration of the Steamworks middleware by the game developer. This has three limiting factors:
1. Only games installed through Steam can be modded.
2. Older games will only get supported if the game developer integrates the middleware with the original code. (easier said than done)
3. Publishers with competing digital platforms (Ubisoft, EA, Etc.) aren't likely to install a middleware in their games that locks customers into using Steam. This means we probably won't see Steam Workshop support for these games anytime soon.
Gmod has none of these limitations. We don't require any middleware integration by the developer and we support Steam and non-Steam games alike.
Yes and No and No. We don't have any "DRM-like" protection included, and we don't add any such elements to your games or mods. You do however need to be online to use specific features of the client. More specifically:
You must be online to:
1.Sync your library with your Gmod account
2.Share mods with friends
3.Convert mods (drag and drop)
---The algorithms associated with the conversion process live on the server and are constantly being updated to provide support for new games and mod types. As a result, you'll need to be online to use this feature
We plan (post beta) to enable offline support for:
1.Logging in / out
2.Enabling / disabling of local mods already in your library
3.Changing logos / names of mods
Our business model is subscription based. We will continuously update our system to improve mod compatibility and provide support for additional games. Players who want to use Gmod pay a small monthly subscription. We plan to share a portion of the revenue we generate with mod developers.
Today the Gmod service includes enabling and disabling mods, and syncing your mods with your account so you can access them on other computers. We have a number of other feature planned for the service as well such as game save backups, file sharing and playlists. In essence, we focus on providing services designed specifically for core gamers. For gamers by gamers

New York Times best-selling author Jon Katz has written a successful series of mystery novels, nonfiction works, and a popular fiction series based on his experiences with the dogs on his farm.
In Rose in a Storm, Rose is a working dog devoted to keeping the sheep and other creatures at Bedlam Farm out of danger. But as the weather grows cold, Rose senses danger - a storm unlike any she's seen. When an epic blizzard finally strikes, Rose needs all her courage to help her master save the farm.
©2010 Jon Katz (P)2010 Recorded Books, LLC
"Absolutely Fantastic From Beginning to End"
Although this story is not told entirely from the point of view of Rose, you are convincingly, vividly and completely transported into her world. Not since "Watership Down" have I found a book which so effectively accomplishes this feat. It is well read and utterly engrossing. Some of the details of the final couple of chapters are somewhat unrealistic, but I think this is notable mostly because the rest of the story is so riveting and believable. Taken as a whole, the story is very uplifting, but at times can be devastatingly sad - particularly for the soft-hearted - keep a box of tissues handy if you are of this ilk! The story of Rose has been indelibly imprinted on my memory and has become one of my all-time favorites (no small task for a very avid reader); I will surely return to it again and again for years to come.
"A story for all Border Collie lovers."
Story told from both Rose's & her masters point of view. It is a very touching story of the working border collie. It is well written & performed. I will recommend it to all my BC owner friends. Having two of them myself I know the way they need to work and their personalities are so different from any other dogs I've ever had.
"Absolutely amazing story."
I could entirely be biased in my love of dogs, but this story, trust me, was absolutely amazing. The performance was great, and I enjoyed the reader's southern accent was very enjoyable. The conclusion was great, and without spoiling the story, there were quite a few touching scenes. Definitely a book you should purchase if you're a dog lover.

Medical care benefits, March 2011
January 24, 2012
In March 2011, more than two-thirds of private industry workers had access to medical care benefits, and 51 percent of all workers participated in a medical care plan. Employers paid 80 percent of premiums for single-coverage medical care benefits and 69 percent of premiums for family coverage.
Among these workers, access and participation rates varied widely by wage category.
Higher wage workers (the highest 25 percent of wage earners, at or above $24.81 per hour) had greater access and participation to medical care benefits than lower wage workers (the lowest 25 percent, at or below $10.69 per hour). Access and participation rates for the lowest 25 percent of wage earners were 36 and 21 percent, compared with 91 and 71 percent, respectively, for the highest 25 percent of wage earners.
The share of employer premiums paid for single coverage and family coverage also varied by wage category.
The share of single-coverage health premiums paid by private industry employers increased from the lowest 25 percent of wage earners to the highest 25 percent of wage earners—ranging from a share of 76 percent to 82 percent. For family coverage, the share of premiums paid by employers ranged from 63 percent to 73 percent, respectively.
These data are from the National Compensation Survey — Benefits program. To learn more, see the Program Perspectives for December 2011, "Health Benefit Costs by Wage Category" (PDF). Employees are considered to have access to a benefit plan if it is available for their use. Participation is the percentage of employees who actually enroll in a benefit plan. Health care is a collective term for the following benefits: medical, dental, and vision care benefits; and outpatient prescription drug coverage. Medical care provides coverage for the treatment and prevention of a broad range of illnesses and injuries, including coverage for surgical care, visits to a physician, or hospital care with inpatient hospital charges.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, Medical care benefits, March 2011 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2012/ted_20120124.htm (visited September 29, 2016).

Saturday morning
It looks like www.utube.com is still for sale. And that's not a typo. We're not talking about YouTube, the video sharing site that Google purchased this week for $2.2 billion.
The other 'Tube belongs to Universal Tube and Rollerform Equipment Corp. And an owner of the Ohio-based tubing recycling company said the extra traffic from misdirected video searchers is slowing his site down. "It's a huge problem," Ralph Girkins said yesterday. "The guy who hosts my website can't handle [it]."
He said an offer made on behalf of YouTube for $1.3 million was "just too low". He said he's hoping for at least $3.4 million. And it's all for a name he probably bought for less than $200.

Where are the Uberti 1873's?

> Where are the Uberti 1873's?
July 18, 2010, 11:18 AM
A few months ago there were a number of Uberti's in local shops. Can't find one anywhere now. Are they still producing them or are folks just jumping on them that fast? Looking for an 1873 Winchester in .357.

I am pretty sure that Uberti is still making them; it may be that just some distributors are low on stock.
On a side note it's a little amazing to me that Uberti bothers to make them in .357mag. The Winchester toggle link action is not the strongest in the lever action world.
They must have improved the metallurgy a good bit.
The 1876 Winchester lengthened the same toggle link action receiver to handle stronger loads, and that really became the epitome of what the toggle link could do. Winchester employed Browning designed actions for its more powerful guns.
July 18, 2010, 06:38 PM
I rarely see the Uberti 1873s in shops. They are expensive for a lever gun. More than double the price of a Marlin lever action or one of the 1892s.

Their availabilty was scarce a few years ago when the cowboy boom was going. Especially ones that would shoot the the 38 Spl.There should be plenty of them. You probably will not see a bunch on shelves or racks. A 24" Uberti 1873 "Sporting Rifle" (or the Border Deluxe) with pistol grip, checkered stock and fore end will run about $1200.00 msrp.
Most of the cowboys order them and have them shipped to their favorite gunsmith. They are out there.
Tommygun, the Uberti 1873 will easily handle the 357 mag. The factory 45 Colt is easily handled also. The +Ps will begin to wear the main toggle pin.

Tommygun, the Uberti 1873 will easily handle the 357 mag. The factory 45 Colt is easily handled also. The +Ps will begin to wear the main toggle pin.
I'm sure that they will handle .45 Colt; that round is not really all that different than the .44-40 round. In fact, the only real reason why Winchester never chambered any of its lever guns for the .45 Colt round way back then was it was a balloon head cartridge, and had a thin rim. It was believed that the extractor would be too prone to ripping through such a thin unsubstantial rim on a hot dirty rifle, therefor they didn't make them in 45. Today's cartridges are solid head and the problem is long gone.
As for .357, I am sure that Uberti knows what it's doing, and would never release to the public any rifle it believed would fail if used with commonly available commercial ammo --- we live in a litiginous world and no one want to make lawyers any richer than possible. I was simply commenting on my surprise that that the toggle link mechanism could handle such a potent round. The .44-40 was a good round in its day, but it's a bit anemic by magnum standards. I own a .44 magnum levergun as well as the Uberti 73 in .44-40, and believe me the difference is recoil between the two is not negligible!
July 18, 2010, 09:36 PM
Hasn't the Uberti 1873 always been a nitch/special order kind of gun? I've never seen them stocked in great numbers. You see one here and there, in the largest big-box super stores, like a Cabela's or a Bass Pro. Not so often in the typical main-street gun shop. An the ones you do see are inevitably chambered in .45 Colt.
