Drupal is free content-management software designed to let an individual or user group publish, manage and organize Web sites that feature a wide variety of content. Drupal is currently being used to power community Web portals, discussion sites, corporate Web sites, intranet applications, personal Web sites and blogs, fan sites, e-commerce applications, resource directories and social networking sites. Recently, the Obama administration adopted Drupal as the foundation for the WhiteHouse.gov Web site.
The standard release, known as Drupal core, lets users do the following:
• Register and maintain individual user accounts within a role-based permission and privilege system.
• Create and manage menus.
Drupal is an open-source Web content management system written in PHP. It serves as the back-end system for many different types of Web sites, ranging from personal blogs to corporate collaboration applications and government sites.
• Create, manage and aggregate RSS feeds.
• Customize page layouts.
• Perform logging.
• Index and search all content in the system.
The basic Drupal installation allows the creation of classic static Web sites, single- or multiuser blogs, Internet forums or online communities that can handle user-generated content. New features can be added via plug-in code known as contrib modules, which have been used for collaborative authoring environments, peer-to-peer networking and podcasting, for example. Drupal can run on any server platform that also supports PHP and a database for storing content and settings. The software is distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Drupal was originally written by Dutch student Dries Buytaert to produce a small site that allowed friends to leave notes about network status and share personal news. Buytaert wanted to name the site dorp (Dutch for village) because of its community aspects, but he mistyped the domain name as drop and decided the erroneous version sounded better. Drop.org turned into a place for personal experimentation with new Web technologies, and in January 2001 Buytaert released the software as open source. Drupal comes from the English pronunciation of the Dutch word druppel, meaning drop.

Drupal: Yes or No?
Drupal might be a very good choice when you need a Web site that...
- Is flexible enough to evolve in any direction and add features.
- Can be easily configured to interact with other sites and technologies.
- Can handle complex forms and workflows.
- Allows you to create your own content types, such as custom fields.
- Can quickly organize and display lists of information.
- Meets your needs with one or more existing Drupal modules.
- May require you to quickly develop custom functionality.
Drupal might not be the best choice if...
- Your needs are limited in scope, such as just writing a personal blog, creating a wiki or hosting a discussion forum.
- You aren't prepared to spend time learning how Drupal works -- its learning curve can be steep.
- You absolutely need backward compatibility. Drupal's designers have chosen to forgo this with each new major revision.
- Performance is critical to you; in some tests, Drupal's high query rate has adversely impacted scalability and performance relative to other systems, such as Joomla.

How swimming helps me with my taekwondo
Even as a child I swam like an old lady.
You know the style...
...head out of the water. Very slow breast stroke.
And before you ask...
...No!.. I didn't have a swimming cap with flowers on it.
Fast forward 20 years.
I move to Australia. And watch the Aussies diving under crystal clear ocean waves. It looks pretty easy. And really refreshing.
So I give it a go...
...But my old lady style isn't quite good enough. And I end up coughing and spluttering in a washing machine of white water. Not the relaxing dip I had in mind!
Clearly if I want to cool off on in the ocean on a 40' Sydney day I need to learn to swim.
It can't be that hard.
Off I trot to lessons with my mate Chris.
She thinks it's highly amusing that I'm in the 'duffers' lane while she ploughs effortlessly up and down with the adult 'squads'.
I find freestyle is sooooooo much harder than it looks.
Learning to co-ordinate my breathing, legs and arms all at once without drowning is a major struggle! (And I'm still using a float!)
'Try to relax more Deb!' says our teacher helpfully from the side of the pool.
'Easy for you to say standing up there!'
After a couple of months I can manage half a length of freestyle before I have to stand up gasping for air.
I realize my breathing is the problem. Something I never learned to do before was to control my breathing at exercise.
So although I'd got fit through taekwondo training, I still tended to puff and pant when my heart rate went up.
And of course I can't puff and pant doing freestyle for obvious reasons!
So I gradually learn to take deeper slower breaths. A deep breath in for one count. Then a long, slow breath out for 4 or 5 counts.
It's like a re-education.
I can't say I enjoy every lesson. I hate swallowing water. And somedays I seem to get nowhere.
But I stick with it. And I gradually make progress.
And a year on...
... I can do 50 meters freestyle now without stopping.
I dive under the waves in the ocean.
And I'm not the worst swimmer in the duffers lane!
And best of all...
...the unexpected benefit.
I have more control over my breathing when I'm training in taekwondo.
I know my lung capacity is better.
And because I'm breathing more slowly and in a more relaxed way I stay calmer under pressure. This really helps in sparring!
And a few laps of Dee Why Ocean pool is a great alternative to running when it's hot.
So all in all learning to swim has been a very positive thing for me.
Just as long as no-one buys me a swimming cap for Christmas it's all good.

Previous Richard Herring shows have explored the life of Jesus and the moustache of Hitler, so he is clearly not averse to big topics. In What Is Love, Anyway? the self-confessed "short, fat, Charley Boorman lookalike" sets out to "destroy love", arguing that it is little more than the product of chemicals and biological imperatives to perpetuate one's genes. If soulmates are so special, he suggests, why do Brits tend to meet them when drunk late at night? Herring crams plenty in, talking fast and constantly flinging ideas out, some childish, some moving. There are effective props too. A surprisingly saucy Valentine's card sent by his mother in 1951 is revealed, alongside readings from his angst-laden teenage poetry journal, which display a heady stew of envy and contempt for a promiscuous acquaintance. After the interval he builds briskly to a beautifully evoked climax involving his nonagenarian nan which is touching and farcically funny. There are also delicious digs at his erstwhile double act partner Stewart Lee's repetitive delivery.
Since he premiered this set last summer, however, changes are afoot. The committed commitmentphobe is getting married on Saturday. His heartfelt description of his feelings for his imminent spouse spectacularly undermine his rigorous mission to torpedo Cupid. But if that produces a contradictory ending onstage it should make for a happy ending offstage. I doubt if his wedding speech will be this funny, though.

My 12 year old cat is breathing rapidly and strangely.
I have been monitoring her for a few days now and my fiancee' thinks she is fine, but I do not. Her nose is going from hot to cold, she is sleeping in the same spot and is hiding in unusual areas she doesn't go in. Her gums are pale. When she breathes, her stomach moves as well as her chest, but as her chest goes up her stomach goes down. As her chest goes down her stomach goes up. I won't lie, I don't think I can afford to see a vet with her. I will if I have to, but I can't spend the extra unless I know it is serious. I have had her since she was a kitten and is very special to me. Please help.

We are not vets here - just fellow cat owners. Your kitty is in distress - please take her to the vet. Most vets will work with you if you are upfront with them - ask them to only run necessary tests - and they may offer a credit program. Please take your baby to the vet as soon as possible.

You are describing what was happening to my 12 yr old cat last month. Took her to the vet and the vet diagnosed congestive heart failure. My cat's lungs were filling up with fluids making it hard for her to breathe. She needed emergency treatment which would involve life long treatment and careful monitoring. Of course it would be expensive. My vet suggested euthanasia since my cat was clearly suffering, so that's what I did.

Funny you should mention the treatment you received at your local Porsche dealer being a factor in your decision because I had that on my mind when I was thinking about the Porsche and didn't know what to expect from the dealer. [This is my first Porsche.] I called ahead (checking to see if "the coast was clear") to explain that I was in a leased BMW 7 Series and interested in test driving the Panamera as a potential next. It turned out that I was speaking with the manager (at Porsche of Tysons Corner) and he could not have been more gracious...he told me that they had every model of the Panamera available for me to test drive, and they did. I must have spent about two hours with my salesman test driving cars, and this was on a Saturday morning. Also, the salesman was very knowledgeable and walked me through all of the options (and buttons) on the cars...they actually appear more complicated than they are. The wonderful way that I was treated there made my decision to purchase rather easy...in addition to getting such a great price on my car. By the way, I did not test drive the Turbo notwithstanding that they offered it for testing to me 3 times...the third time being the funniest, as I was signing the papers for my 4S, and them saying "just try the Turbo"...all I could think (honestly) was wondering how many sets of
I would go through in a year with that car.
Currently: 2015 Porsche 911 GTS and 2016 Cayenne S eHybrid
Past BMWs: `05 645CiC; `07 650i; `08 M6 convertible; '08 135i; `11 750ix MSport; `15 M235i convertible

KATHLEEN WOLFE: Little changed since John Adams' presidency
I am currently reading David McCullough's "John Adams." The vitriol of the press during John Adams' presidential years, and the intrigues and back-biting of Congress, both during his term and during the next presidential election, show me that nothing has changed in 200-plus years.
Today's media, the conservative talk show hosts specifically, and the Republicans in Congress, whose philosophy seems to be "discredit Obama at all costs," frighten me.
There was no bipartisanship in 1798; there is no bipartisanship today.
The book implies that, in many cases, the criticism and hate-filled pamphlets eventually backfired on Adams' opponents.
The Republicans are digging a hole for themselves, and the voters just might cover them up when it comes time to vote.
We need some common sense here.
The Republicans need to look at the issues for what they are worth and not how they can knock President Obama down.

A beacon will be lit in Warrington on Bank Holiday Monday to help create a chain of light across Britain to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
The beacon at High Warren Service Reservoir, near to Warrington Golf Club on London Road, will be visible for miles around.
It will be lit at 10.15pm on June 4 – the same time as thousands of others nationwide – and accompanied by a ten-minute firework display.
The Queen will then light the National Beacon in London at approximately 10.30pm. This will be the last beacon in the UK chain.
Parish Councils of Appleton, Stockton Heath and Walton approached Great Sankey-based United Utilities to try to identify a prime spot for the beacon earlier in the year.
Walton Parish Councillor Cllr Bob Hardie said: "The Queen's Silver Jubilee was celebrated with a bonfire at Appleton Reservoir and we wanted to do something similar to mark the Diamond Jubilee.
"United Utilities suggested High Warren Reservoir this time, as people will be able to see the beacon better. It's a fantastic spot up there, you can see right across the Cheshire plains and even to North Wales on a clear day so hopefully people from miles around will be able to see the beacon and the fireworks display."
While there will be no public access to the reservoir site, the beacon and the display – co-ordinated by Runcorn-based fireworks experts Highlight Pyrotechnics – are designed to be viewed from a distance.
A beacon will also be lit on United Utilities land at Rivington Pike in Chorley.
United Utilities asset manager Neil Hancox said: "We've been delighted to help out for what is a significant event for both Queen and country. It will be a fantastic spectacle and we hope residents go out on the streets and into their back gardens to witness it as it is meant to be viewed - from a distance.
"In the history of this country, the only other Monarch to achieve a reign of 60 years was Queen Victoria. Occasions like this don't come around very often and we're delighted to play a part."
Cllr Hardie added: "We've been very pleased with United Utilities' help and co-operation in helping to get this event organised and we're really looking forward to it."
Councillor Taylor, Chair of Stockton Heath Parish Council said: "United Utilities have been brilliant in helping us, and they have taken all the hassle out of mounting such an event. Without them I doubt this would have gone ahead."

What We Believe
You matter to God. The same awesome God who created the universe created you. Through Jesus Christ, he wants to give you life with a true meaning and purpose. We believe the following Statement of Faith to be true and an accurate summary of what Scripture teaches.
About God
We believe there is only one God, who is the Creator and Ruler of all and who exists eternally as a Trinity of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each member of the Trinity is fully God, yet each is personally distinct from the other.
Genesis 1, Jeremiah 1:9, Matthew 5:18, John 1:1-14, II Timothy 3:16
About God the Son
We believe Jesus Christ (second person of the Trinity) was crucified and died on the cross, was resurrected from the dead and ascended to heaven. Someday he will return to earth to conclude history and fulfill God's plan.
John 1:1-18, Philippians 2:7-8, Romans 1:4,3:23-26
About God the Spirit
We believe the Holy Spirit (third person of the Trinity) comes to live within a person once they cross the line of faith. He gives us power to live as God wants us to live, and gives us spiritual gifts to serve the church and change the world.
Ephesians 1:13-14, Colossians 1:14, John 1:12, II Corinthians 5:17, John 10:10b, 11:25-26, 17:3, Acts 1:8
About the Bible
We believe the Bible (both Old and New Testaments) is the Word of God, written by men who were inspired by the Holy Spirit to write down what God wanted to communicate to us.
Deuteronomy 4:35, 32:29, Isaiah 45:14, 46:9, Exodus 20:3, 2 Timothy 3:16-17
About Humanity
We believe men and women were created by God to live in relationship with him. Yet, the first two humans, Adam and Eve, chose to rebel against God bringing sin into the world. Sin spread like a virus to all humans, separating us from God.
II Corinthians 6:19, Galatians 5:22 -23, Ephesians 5:18
About Sin and Salvation
We believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ, not by being a good person or doing good deeds, that a person can be restored to a right relationship with God.
John 3:16-18, 1 Corinthians 1:2, 12:12-13, Acts 2:1 & 42, Colossians 1:18, 1 Thessalonians 5:13-17, Hebrews 12:23
About the Church
We believe the church is God's plan to mobilize Christ-followers to radically change the world for God. All Christ-followers are members of the "church" in a universal sense and we live out that connection in the local church. Jesus is the head of the church - there are no other candidates. Every local church should do its part to represent Jesus in the context and community it is located. Those in a local church belong to one another and take care of one another, and use their time, talents and treasures to serve the church and the world.
Ephesians 1:22-23, 4:15-16, Colossians 1:17-18; Romans 12:4-8; Hebrews 10:23-25; Matthew 28:18-20
About Faith & Practice
We rely on the Bible as the foundation for all matters of faith and practice. MPCC cannot bind the conscience of individual members in areas where the Bible is silent. Rather, each believer is to be led in these areas by the Lord, to whom he or she alone is ultimately responsible. By adhering to God's Word and seeking God, we can best observe his greatest commandments, which are to love him and love others.
Romans 12:2 & 14, 1 Corinthians 8-9, 10:23-11:1, Proverbs 3:5-6; Mark 12:29-31; Romans 12:2; Deuteronomy 6:5

London shares plunge by Ł64bn
About Ł64bn was wiped off the value of British companies as the London Stock Exchange suffered its biggest one-day points fall since 1992.
The FTSE 100 index of leading UK stocks plunged to close down 225.9 points at 5,314.
It now stands more than 25% lower than the peak it reached on 31 December 1999.
The last time the market experienced a one-day fall of this size was when the pound crashed out of the European exchange-rate mechanism almost a decade ago.
A 'crash'
The BBC's business editor Jeff Randall described the fall as a "crash". He added the stock market "is telling us that a recession is on the way."
The latest losses were fuelled by poor company news, with profits warnings issued from Capital Radio, and industrial automation and controls company, Invensys.
Telecoms giant BT was another big faller, down more than 5% to 469p, as the pressure grew on its chairman and chief executive to tackle its debt mountain.
Hard times
Capital Radio, the UK's largest commercial radio station, warned that its profits would be 10% lower than last year.
The radio group blames the decline in advertising revenue for its lower income streams, and its stock was promptly downgraded by UBS Warburg.
Shareholders in the radio station watched their investments shrink by almost a quarter, with the stock price diving 24% to 670p from 877.5p.
The firm issued its second profits warning in six months, and said that it was stepping up its cost reduction programme by laying off 5,000 staff by the end of its financial year.
Only fourteen of the one hundred stocks that make up the index managed to rise, and most of these were retailers.
Burst bubble
Fifteen months ago, the FTSE 100 index hit an all time high of 6,930 points.
Since then the internet bubble has burst, and technology and telecoms stocks have come tumbling dramatically down.
Drops have been especially steep over the last two weeks, fuelled by fears of global economic slowdown in the US and its effect on the European markets.
The bellwether index has lost 14% of its value since the beginning of the year.
And this comes after the index ended the year 2000 10.2% lower compared to the previous year, only the third time the index has ended down on the year since it was first launched in 1984.

You might want to ask ExSolder762 about training, he is on this forum and I believe he provides training. He might be able to point you in the right direction.
Contact Vicki Farnam. Second best would be Ayoob, who does offer ladies only classes usually with one of his senior [female] instructors.
Randy Cain of Cumberland Tactics provides 'ladies only' classes. He does some teaching in Lakeland at Southern Exposure, but travels quite extensively. Might check his schedule and see if there is a class being held near you (Georgia, Alabama). And, if you could make the drive, Southern Exposure is an excellent outdoor range.
thanks for the replies. we're gonna check the various places out. if it involves travel, we're gonna have to wait a few months. both of us are working 6 and 7 days a week right now.
I have heard many good comments from women about Randy Cain, one took his shotgun course and was very up about it. So that guy has my vote.

If there has ever been a time to spring into action it is now: this is the moment to start your own letting business. As many of us know from personal experience there has been an enduring gap between housing supply and demand. Housebuilding levels were worst between 2008 and 2009. Since 2010 and following several government reforms including changing the planning system, there has been a change in the housing deficit in the UK.
In line with this, Government ministers have declared they will launch a massive programme to solve the housing crisis to build 25000 new homes by 2020. Government plans, announced last week by Sajid Javid, the Communities secretary, comprise a £ 1 billion of short term loan funding scheme to deliver the initial construction phase. A second long-term funding scheme will provide a further 200000 homes UK wide. Mr Javid stated that resolving the shortfall of available houses is a "moral duty" that falls on all of us, including local communities and businesses. Read More...
"The initial pack we purchased was absolutely priceless and enabled us to build a two office business from nothing(soon to be 3) but without your wonderful support and knowledge, not to mention our brilliant new website courtesy of you, then I am sure we wouldn't have had either the confidence or the know how to move the business forward the way it has."
Jay Coleman, Director, Angelwoods
"We are always happy to share feedback when receiving a service, whether it is good, indifferent or constructive - thankfully and appreciatively on this occasion it is very good. Our new website was remarkably easy to order - the communication was timely and very straight forward. We now have a much more contemporary looking website with a back-end CMS that makes it incredibly easy to adjust and change the content."
Damian Hicklin, Plumtree Properties
"I would like to say thank you to all at Southcourt Property for the excellent and professional service we have received since purchasing our business package and website. As a practising paralegal I don't make key decisions lightly, and it was only after careful research that I chose Southcourt."
Christopher Blake, AT Property Lets
"Wonderful Business Package & wonderful support!! We thought long and hard about if it was the right option. We decided to purchase this package. It was the best thing we ever did. We have not used the support much due to the extensive detail in the manual it has been invaluable."
Graham Scott, Letzmove Estate Agents
"The Southcourt Business Package was brilliant! It basically allowed me to learn everything I needed to know to sign up landlords, run my agency from home to fit in with my family and lifestyle then gradually grow the business at the speed I wanted. I also used their support service..."
Venessa Alfonja, VA Property Consultants
"Thank you so much for enabling me to create such a great business. I now own a thriving lettings business which is growing all the time. Your support, help and experience have been invaluable and it is very reassuring to know that your office is only a phone call away."
Sarah Bernhardt, Millstock Residential Lettings
"A big thank you to Southcourt for all their help and support they have given us over the past 6 months. We regularly refer to the manual and keep in contact with Southcourt for their advice.We work from home and have no high street office which means keeping the overheads to a minimum.Our business is continuously building. Once again, Many Thanks."
Mark Battochio and Phil
"I have found the Southcourt Business Package to be invaluable.

Things have snowballed and I'm happy to say recommendations from existing landlord clients keep coming in."

The 1999 campaign was expected to be one of futility. Instead, it is turning into one of genuine excitement. The Lions' thrilling 31-27 victory over the St Louis Rams was their sixth triumph from eight games, and it was achieved without their leading wide receiver, the injured Herman Moore, and their starting quarterback, Charlie Batch, who was forced out with a hand injury.
His replacement, Gus Frerotte, threw a touchdown pass to Cory Schlesinger, but Detroit's cause seemed lost when the St Louis quarterback, Kurt Warner, connected with Ryan Tucker to give the visitors a three-point lead with less than three minutes remaining.
Deep in their own half of the field, facing a massive fourth down and 26 and with less than a minute left, Detroit needed a miracle. Frerotte hurled the ball in the direction of Germane Crowell, who raced past Dexter McCleon for a 56-yard completion. The Lions then finished the job when Frerotte found Johnnie Morton with a 12-yard score with 28 seconds on the clock.
The Lions, who appear to thrive in adversity, are clearly gaining in self-belief. "This game shows we're for real now," said the safety Ron Rice, who intercepted Warner's desperation pass on the last play of the game to seal the win. "We've always believed in ourselves, but I think now other people have to respect us too."
Self-belief is clearly evident in Miami as well, where the Dolphins continue to prevail despite the absence of their talisman, the quarterback Dan Marino. Miami's strength this season is a smothering defence, which choked the life out of the Tennessee Titans in a 17-0 Dolphin win.
Miami's Sam Madison played through a stomach upset but still managed three interceptions, while Marino's replacement, Damon Huard, played within his limitations to throw a pair of touchdown passes. Defense is the story for the Dolphins, however: they have not allowed a touchdown in 14 quarters of play, and have given up 15 points in the last three games.
The memory of Walter Payton, the great former Chicago Bears running back who died last week at just 45, was honoured at grounds around the NFL, but had a particular poignancy in Wisconsin, where the Bears visited the Green Bay Packers. During his 13 years in Chicago colours, Payton had tormented the Packers on several occasions, and it seemed fitting that the 1999 vintage prevailed over their bitter rivals by a narrow 14-13 margin.
Green Bay should have won. Ryan Longwell attempted what would have been a game-winning 28-yard field goal inside the final 10 seconds, but the kick was blocked by Chicago's Bryan Robinson, who later claimed assistance from the other side. "I think Walter Payton actually picked me up," he said. "I can't jump that high."
The Seattle Seahawks are aiming high too. Their 37-20 trouncing of feeble Cincinnati was their sixth win in seven games, the quarterback Jon Kitna throwing three touchdown passes. The Seahawks have not reached the play- offs since 1988, the longest drought in the NFL, but look equipped to end that barren spell.
Similarly the Indianapolis Colts continue to impress, their 25-17 win over the gritty Kansas City Chiefs inspired by their young quarterback, Peyton Manning.

As some of you know, I just bought a Glock 23. I have a few questions from what I've read.
- Brass bulging because it's not fully supported: Is this still true of a 3rd Generation Glock? (I believe it's third generation, looks quite a bit like one.
- I've ordered this ammo for practice. I'm thinking since it's FMJ, I don't have to worry about all the "Lead issues" with the rifling. Is that correct? I just have to clean it like a normal handgun after use.
- Associated with 1. I've read all around, and even on this forum about reloads for Glocks, and how they are or are not a good idea. So if can just get a straight answer here: If I use a reload with FMJ bullets, and I make sure the brass isn't bulged, and I use the same grain count, etc. etc. as the above independence rounds, I should have nothing to worry about, right?
- How much would it cost to buy all the equipment plus a second die for a 9mm? What exactly is necessary to buy?
- I've read about interchangeable barrels. Does that mean I can change caliber as well? Besides that (if it's true), what other advantages are there of interchangeable barrels besides replacing one if it gets worn or ruined somehow?
I won't ever reload something until I'm comfortable knowing all the ins and outs, but I have to start somewhere, and figure these questions are a good enough place to start.

Peanut brittle recipe
Serving Size:
6 - 8
Cake stall, Dessert, Easy recipes, Kids cooking, Confectionery
Special Info:
Egg free, Gluten free
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 1 ½ cup raw peanuts
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
Butter a baking sheet with 1 teaspoon butter and set aside.
In a heat-proof glass bowl, combine sugar and corn syrup and microwave on high for 4 minutes.
Stir in peanuts and microwave for another 4 minutes.
Add butter, vanilla, and stir. Microwave the mixture on high for another 2 minutes.
Remove and add bicarbonate soda, stir until thoroughly combined.
Pour mixture into prepared baking sheet and allow it to cool completely.
Break up and serve or store in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Corn syrup is available in most big supermarkets – look in the baking, health food and/or toppings sections. If you can't find it, you could substitute glucose syrup in this recipe.
- Don't be tempted to use dry-roasted peanuts in this recipe – the brittle is far better with raw peanuts.
- Have fun break up the Peanut Brittle using a little meat mallet or hammer.
- This is one of my favorites! It's a nice easy treat and easy to wrap up in cellophane bags and pretty ribbons to give as delicious gifts.

The product from Brighton in Salt Lake City visited the Huskies and the Bruins on the final weekends before signing day, but instead picked a different Pac-10 school.

Mbhele retains Gauteng bantamweight title
By Ron Jackson
Cleutus Mbhele retained his Gauteng bantamweight title with a majority ten round draw against Cebo Ngema in a closely fought contest at the Nasrec Expo Centre near Johannesburg on Sunday afternoon. Judge Alfred Buqwana scored it 97-93 for Mbhele whilst judges Phillip du Randt and Joe Chaane scored it 95-95. The drawn decision was a bit harsh on the 22 year-old Mbhele (52'82kg) who appeared to box his way to a comfortable decision with his better boxing skills throughout. Ngema, 23, made a fast start and possibly shaded the first two rounds before the champion picked up the pace in round three. Boxing from behind his southpaw right jab Mbhele was in control throughout piling up the points with some good counter punching as the aggressive Ngema (53.22kg) pressed forward. Mbhele takes his record 14-4-3; 7 and Ngema goes to 9-3-1; 6.
The standard of boxing on the undercard was poor.
Results: Flyweight: Sandile Kukame beat William Manake, tko 3; Lightweight: Babalo Ncakeni beat Gift Bolo, tko 1; Super middleweight: Honani Netshidamboni, draw 4 Johannes Peterson; Junior welterweight: Luyanda Jaco beat Oupa Maimane, tko 1;Lightweight: Humbulani Netshamutshedzi beat Nhlanhla Nyathi, pts 6; Bantamweight: Bongani Mahlangu beat Mxolisi Nombhewu, ko 1.
The tournament was promoted by Pat Molefe of Rainbow Promotions.

What is there to say about Hamlet that hasn't been said already? I was once again thankful for Mr. Swigger's excellent coursepack of sources from our grade 12 study of it--I introduced my prof to some of the contemporary sources he included in it which she hadn't read before. These sources were also a part of my "advantageous reading" methods for exam studying--I didn't actually read Hamlet this semester, but the additional scholarly sources made up for the fact.
Hamlet is Hamlet, what can I say? ;)
First read this at school over thirty years ago. I liked it then and I like it now, but it was surprising how much I had forgotten.
"Frailty, thy name is women!"
"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."
"There are more things in heaven and earth..."
"Neither a borrower nor a lender be;"
"This above all: to thine own self be true,"
"Giving more light than heat,..."
"Murder most foul,..."
"Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,..."
"Though this be madness, yet there is method in't."
"To be, or not to be: that is the question:"
"The lady protests too much, methinks."
"When sorrows come, they come not in single spies but in battalions."
"Sweets to the sweet:"
And personal favourite: "Excellent well; you are a fishmonger."
Shakespeare is Hard, but so is Life: "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, Burton Raffel, Harold Bloom Published 2008.
"Shakespeare is Hard, but so is Life" (title of a 2002 book by Fintan O'Toole).
The 23rd of April is almost upon us (*). Those of you who have been following my diatribes on this blog, know that I've been thinking about doing this for a while. Last year I put my Shakespeare project ("re-read everything from beginning to end") on hold. I've decided that now is the time to jump-start this project. I want to read everything, starting with the plays I haven't read in a while, or at all, and moving to the ones I'm more familiar with. I'll post individual reviews as I go through. "Hamlet" had to be the first.
Read on.
The rest of this review is available elsewhere.

The Play of Plays: "Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, Jonathan Bate, Eric Rasmussen Published 2008.
"He helps us understand the human condition. But he cannot do this without a good text of the plays. Without editions there would be no Shakespeare. That is why throughout the last three centuries there has been a major new edition of his complete works."
(Jonathan Bate)
I studied Shakespeare at Universidade de Letras de Lisboa and have seen many plays in performance since then. We read twelve plays in sixteen weeks: "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Romeo and Juliet", "Richard II", "Richard III", "The First Part of King Henry IV", and "Twelfth Night" among others. I did not do as well in that class as I would have liked. In fact, I distinctly remember not studying much for the exam because the girl with whom I was studying asked me if I was interested in going out and, since I was attracted to her, I said yes. After my professor returned my exam to me, she asked me if I would visit her during office hours to discuss my poor academic performance. I told her, "I'm not going to lie. Instead of studying, I went out with a girl in our class." Her reply, "I can hardly fault you for acting upon the sort of thing Shakespeare wrote about. I am willing to give you another chance. If you do better on the final exam, I will not weight this exam as heavily."

Basement moisture - why not seal inside wall?
:huh: Having a slightly moist basement myself, I have always wondered why so many people say you can't fix the problem from the inside. In my case, the basement walls are porous concrete block with a rather ineffective layer of 6-mil plastic on the outside. I don't have water streaming in anywhere, but the blocks do get moist at times, especially near the bottom of the wall. I'm guessing the plastic has been torn or punctured in places by settling back fill. It seems to me that if the inside surface of the wall could be sealed against water pressure, the water would find its way through the rest of the porous block down the footer drain or out the downhill side of the basement. BTW, I'm dealing with a walk-out basement here.
So what's the real reason for the negative view on sealing the inside? Is it simply impossible to do it with the products available? I have indeed seen many instances where DryLoc (and similar) paints have failed miserably. But certainly there should be other processes and materials that could do the job.
it takes a good man to learn from his own mistakes but it takes a better man to learn from others - the temptation's always ' they didn't do it ( right - fast enough - slow enough - use enough mtl - used too much mtl ) :yes:
so for a base rule, let's agree you can stop if from the inside ( negative side ) however that's only as far's the eye can see,,, what's happening on the other side of the part you do see ? ask some of our clients who have their bsmt walls collapse ( implode ),,, the wtr still attacks the walls but the damage can't be seen till too late.
yes, there are instances in which an interior coating can be effective - my own house, for instance, just before we sell it,,, we'll fix the problem, disclose to the buyers, take the proceeds, & flee legal jurisdiction safe from lawsuits :laughing:
the bldg code is still the culprit at its core - 6mil disintegrates & 3mil asphalt emulsion is, to say the least, never applied correctly - even if it is, its not elastomeric so crks develop,,, more than likely, reason vapor collects on the btm is that water runs downhill & is collecting at the base of your foundation wall where it sits & can't percolate easily thru the soils.
[ DryLoc = waste of time & $$$ im-n-s-h-fo :censored: ]
i say just do it:thumbup:
199 Attachment(s)
no, water alone isn't responsible for the damage to block - its the soluble acid salts in the soil,,, bdge crete is generally spec'd to be a higher compressive strength & more strict water/cement ratio thereby contributing to a stronger mix,,, water attacks bdges more often by scouring however those living in salt water environments should know of their dot's efforts to protect bdge crete via coatings & electronic anti-corrosion systems embedded in the crete either at construction or retro.
in general, the bldg code doesn't fully address the issue of habitable space below-grade in residential property,,, any worthwhile engineer/architect absolutely does on commercial work,,, then again, its difficult for a homeowner to increase his investment then cover it so his n-bors can't see it,,, also, in general, homeowners are less concerned w/quality & prefer flash.
tyvek & fan-fold below grade - better stick w/framing & siding, kwik ;-)
therefore, in the inimitable words of the previous poster, tomstruble, ' just do it ! '
Thanks for all the comments folks. Please excuse my ignorance, but what's Fan Fold?
I think I will "just do it" but on a small scale at first to see how it works. Here's my idea: A sodium silicate treatment of the block to help seal the pores, then a rigid closed-cell foam board covering taped at all seams, and finally a wood frame wall with cedar paneling. I've seen lots of troubles with drywall in basements, so I'll pay the premium for real cedar.
Why: http://www.dnr.mo.gov/ENV/wrc/WaterProblems.htm
Why not: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...gs?full_view=1
Stopping the condensation on concrete: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...ent-insulation
Be safe, Gary
insulation foam that comes folded up - usually used in residing above grade on retrofit jobs.
what product(s) do you have in mind & how's that going to stop the wtr from penetrating your very fine foundation's block walls behind those pores you're closing from the INSIDE ( negative side ) ? ? ?
paying ' the premium for real cedar ' makes about as much sense as peeing into the wind while wearing new slacks but that's just me,,, suffice to say, if you're not interested in fixing the problem properly, no amount of $$$ will save your embarrassment when the wife sez ' what happened, mr genius ? ',,, have any idea how much it will cost to have this problem fixed properly in the future ?
decent links, gary, but about as useful as my posts,,, some have to learn the hard way
My first act has been to install gutters and downspouts with the water carried to the downhill side of the house in 4" corrugated plastic pipe. That alone may dry out the block walls. If so, I'll probably just use a vapor barrier on the block and frame in walls over that. Cedar, being more water tolerable than most woods, would seem to be the material of choice for the interior wall surface. Seems to me that plain gypsum board would not be so good.
this is our professional work & i only posted what i would tell any of our clients is necessary,,, ' how is that moisture going to melt them away? ' could be the temp differential between wall & basement - do a moisture test 1st.
gutters/downspouts is always a good idea but won't ' heal ' the underground waterways if that's the cause.

Dakar Rally will return to Peru in 2015, minister says
By Manuel Vigo
On Wednesday Peru's Minister of Foreign Commerce and Tourism Jose Luis Silva revealed that the Dakar Rally will return to Peru in 2015, and stay until at least 2018.
On Wednesday Peru's Minister of Foreign Commerce and Tourism Jose Luis Silva revealed that the Dakar Rally will return to Peru in 2015, El Comercio reported.
News of the rally's return to the Andean country comes after rally organizers announced last March that Peru would not host the Dakar in 2014, and would instead be held in Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina.
According to the daily, Silva disclosed that an agreement had already been signed to see the rally stay in Peru until 2018.
"In 2013 there was already a Dakar [in Peru], in 2014 there won't be one, and in 2015 there will be," Silva was quoted as saying.
"And in 2016, 2017, and 2018, there is already a contact in place, but I can't give details," the minister added.
"When you negotiate with an institution like this you have to keep some things on hold."
"We could not publicize the details of the contract," he added.
According to El Comercio, the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO), the rally's organizers, have not yet confirmed Dakar's return to Peru.
Although the country will not host the rally in 2014, organizers announced that Peru would host a Dakar Series event later this year.
According to rally organizers, the 'Desafío Inca' will take place in the Ica desert this October, offer "competitors a new chance to get to terms with Dakar conditions soon before the 2014 edition of the famous cars, bikes and trucks meeting."
Peru previously hosted the Dakar rally in 2012 and 2013, alongside Chile and Argentina.

Calingasan, Zubiri file COCs; switch positions
BUKIDNON NEWS | BUKIDNON POLITICS | BUKIDNON ELECTION WATCH 2013 – The top 2 government officials in Bukidnon have formally filed their certificates of candidacy (COCs) at the Provincial Commission on Elections (COMELEC) office today, October 3, 2012.
Bukidnon Governor Alex Calingasan and Vice Governor Jose Ma. Zubiri, Jr. filed their COCs late Wednesday morning. Both are running under the Bukidnon Paglaum Party (BPP).
The two are set to switch positions – Calingasan will run for Vice Governor while Zubiri will run for Governor.
They first established their Zubiri – Calingasan tandem in 2001. Zubiri served as governor for 3 consecutive terms before he swapped places with Calingasan.
Theirs was not a smooth sailing political partnership, however. There were reports that the two were on bitter terms after Zubiri accused Calingasan of various issues including funding a radio commentator's regular attack against him. Calingasan has denied Zubiri's accusations. The two allegedly made peace in August.

Updated Toy Safety Standard Requires Additional Testing
As of June 12, 2012, manufacturers and importers of children's toys must comply with updated Federal Toy Safety Standards. Third-party testing to the updated standards will be required after the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) publishes rules for third-party laboratories, which is expected in 2013.
Among the changes to toy testing procedure, the updated toy safety standard revised heavy metal requirements as follows:
- New limits for the soluble amount of eight metals: antimony, arsenic, lead, barium, cadmium, chromium, mercury and selenium
- New extractable cadmium requirement added for metal components that fit within the small parts cylinder
Companies that manufacture or import children's toys will need to comply with these new standards and include documentation of compliance in all conformity certificates. A children's toy is defined as a consumer product designed or intended by the manufacturer for a child 12 years of age or younger for use by the child when the child plays.
Businesses that distribute promotional products must be able to provide documentation of compliance to clients and the CPSC upon request. While third-party testing is not expected to be required until 2013, they will need to verify compliance to the updated standard. In many cases, this will mean working with a testing lab partner to begin tests to the new standards. Because distributors are often the only point of contact for clients, they serve as the link between the product, the buyer's intent for the program and the manufacturing of the product. Many of these regulations apply to products based on the intended audience. Distributors have an obligation to determine the product's intended audience and share this information with the importer, decorator or manufacturer. Review Product Safety: Ask & Answer to find a list of questions to ask a client and the supplier.
Some manufacturers in the promotional products industry may qualify for relief from third-party testing to ASTM F963-11 when it becomes required. A company may be considered a small-batch manufacturer if it reports total gross revenues of $1 million or less from the sale of all consumer products and manufactures no more than 7,500 units of the tested product in the previous calendar year. For the list of exempted standards, visit the CPSC online. Small-batch manufacturers can now register online with the CPSC.

Later on he studied theology under Hengstenberg, and became professor at Dorpat and later at Rostock.
Statues were erected to his memory at Berlin, Breslau and Rostock.
As early as 1526 a little volume of hymns was published at Rostock in the Platt-Deutsch dialect.
So he went back to Germany—first to Wittenberg, thence, driven by the plague, to Rostock.
Rostock, Warnemnde and Wismar are the principal commercial centres.
In 1607, they were again sent away, after they had performed the preceding year at Rostock.
At Rostock a man came through the train and asked to see our passports.
Retires, honored in all lands; shipwrecked; died at Rostock, Aug. 28, 1645.
So he instantly leaped on horseback and fled, with the vessel in his hand, along the road to Biestow and Rostock.
Grotius set out in an open waggon for Lubeck, and arrived at Rostock on the 26th of August very ill.

The first covered bridge in the United States was built over the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1800. Some of the first Burr arch truss covered bridges were also built in the state. Pennsylvania is estimated to have once had at least 1,500 covered bridges, and is believed to have had the most in the country between 1830 and 1875.[16] In 2001 Pennsylvania had more surviving historic covered bridges than any other state, with 221 remaining in 40 of the commonwealth's 67 counties.[5]
Covered bridges were a transition between stone and cast-iron and steel bridges. In 19th-century Pennsylvania, lumber was an abundant resource for bridge construction,[16] but did not last long when exposed to weather and the elements. The roof and enclosed sides of covered bridges protected the structural elements, allowing some of these bridges to survive well over a century. A Burr arch truss consists of a load-bearing arch sandwiching multiple King posts, resulting in a bridge which is both stronger and more rigid than one built using either element alone.[

Jun 15, 2014 - From staff reportsThe University of Wyoming Biodiversity Institute will host a Pollinator Party from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday at Sawmill Campground in Sinks Canyon State Park. The event will introduce Lander citizens and visitors to the bees, butterflies and hummingbirds that pollinate vegetable gardens, flowering trees and prairies.
These parties are free, open to the public, hands-on and interactive, and allow children and adults to catch insects, identify the species, watch what plants they visit, and learn how to attract them to their yard.
The Pollinator Party is part of Pollinator Awareness Week, a national event geared toward increasing the visibility and appreciation of pollinators, held June 16 to June 22. Gov. Matt Mead has officially declared the week as such in Wyoming.
Pollinators are a group of organisms that are critical to the process of plant reproduction, fruit and vegetable production, and in many cases agricultural success.
However, populations of a variety of pollinators are in decline, for many reasons known and unknown. Fortunately, this is a problem Wyoming citizens can help alleviate in their yards and towns.
Party participants will learn what types of pollinators exist in Lander, and how to provide food and shelter for them in their yards. There is also opportunity for participants to engage in citizen science activities by learning how to identify pollinator species and submitting sightings of pollinators to an online database. The database collects all observation information and fills in information gaps that are critical to the understanding of pollinators in Wyoming.
For more information, contact Brenna Marsicek at brenna.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Rob Williams
Thanks for the note and criticism.
I won't call you an idiot but the way in which you deliver feedback leaves much to be desired. Education trumps flaming, but I'm happy to admit a goof when one happens.
The retail box for this controller as well as the press release issued prior to its release has solid caps plastered all over (http://lamptron.com/products/view/Fan_Controller_FC8) as a selling point and with no way to 100% identify them the claims are taken at face value.
Thanks for the feedback.
Capacitors? Solid caps?
I just did a google search for the Lamptron FC8 Fan Controller and came across your review.
I admit I read about half of it.
Those "capacitors" on the back of the board? The black ones? They're freaking COILS guys. Who's the pro who decided they were capacitors? Even the location label on the board says "L" not "C".
Man, if people want to review electronic products, perhaps they should learn the difference between a coil and a capacitor (that's grade 10 high school electronics, and I bet it's first week too).
I couldn't get a good close up look at the aluminum capacitors (even though I looked around the web trying to get a good look at them).
I did notice in one picture on another site that they seem to have a black bottom. They also have a polarity stripe down one side. I can't call anyone an idiot over this because I haven't seen them with my own eyes, but they sure look like regular electrolytic capacitors in an aluminum case.
I have been working in electronics for over 20 years and I have seen tons of capacitors. Those cap packages look just like surface-mount electrolytic caps except they are not surface mount.
In order to be 100% sure I would have to cut or crush one to see what's inside.
I have seen caps just like those blow and when I took them apart there was electrolyte inside on both smt and radial capacitors. However, the packaging for "Japanese Solid" capacitors looks almost identical, so there's really no way to tell what type they are without taking them apart.
If the documentation does not say "solid capacitors" don't just assume that because you see a package like this they must be solid. Especially if you cannot tell a capacitor from a coil.
If you want to call me an idiot, feel free. You can find me on ocn. Same name. (that's overclock.net).
|Greg King
In my first PC build I used a Soyo KT333 Dragon mother board and you could use their baked in app to control fan speeds from Windows. It worked very well. I wish I could find that board again. I would build a machine for fun.
Good point, Jamie. When the channel is all the way down, the LED does shut off but you're right. It would be nice if there was an option to shut off the LEDs and still use that channel.
The last time I tried to control a fan in the OS, I wasn't impressed because it required the application to load and apply the preset before it actually throttles back the fans. In the meantime, I'm stuck to the back wall of the office and my computer is hovering a foot off the ground.
|Greg King
Good review Ryan. I love the idea of controlling the speeds of your fans but controllers like the Lamptron have never done anything for me. I love how you can customize the LEDs but don't care for the colors. Maybe it's all the data center time but I prefer green and blue to pretty much anything else
I would love to be able to accurately control all my system fans from within Windows, assuming they are all connected to headers and not directly into the power supply.
Regardless of my personal opinions, I enjoyed the review. Good read.
My eyes! They burn with the power of LEDs!! Ironic really, it gives you a choice of colours except for the most important one... OFF! I'm going to run out of black electrical tape at this rate with all these LEDs I have to cover up.
I nearly bought a Nesteq FanMax 8, until i realised it had 10 brilliant blue LEDs on the front panel. Gone are the glory days of strip lights and mini-discos going on out of the corner of my eye - I have enough ADHD problems with the Internet as is, without the lure of blue lasers dancing over the wall, turning me into a cat that's been at the 'nip a little too much...
Solid aluminum caps rarely (if ever) have a manufacturer stamped on them like old school caps used to. Gone are the days of the wrapping having Rubycon, Chemi-con or what have you stamped on the side. Now it's just specs, but very minor ones at that.
The ones on my motherboard, just as I'm sure any of the caps used on any of my video cards look pretty much the same with only a difference in color or specs.
"These capacitors are just as mysterious as the group on the other side in that there are no numbers to link them back to the manufacturer"
Probably since they were simply purchased from an OEM and the company didn't assign a part number? Those caps looked familiar - very similar to the ones I had on my 7900GS vid car

Lamptron FC8 Fan Controller Review
A couple of months ago, we took Lamptron's FC Touch fan controller for a spin, and were left extremely impressed with its ease-of-use and aesthetics. But what about those who don't care for touch capabilities, and are fine with knobs? Enter the FC8, a clean-looking and high-performing option; offering eight channels at 30W each.
Read through Ryan's look at Lamptron's FC8 fan controller and then discuss it here!
