Back in February, we highlighted Mission Motors, a quintessential startup founded in a San Francisco garage and fueled by no shortage of innovative thinking, driving vision, and just enough chutzpah to make it succeed.
The product borne of that driving vision is the Mission One, an all-electric, emission-free motorcycle that debuted at this year's TED conference as "the fastest electric motorcycle in the world."
That's the kind of statement that leads one to say "prove it." Mission Motors is the kind of company that plans on doing just that. In its own full-torque, whisper-quiet, and screaming fast sort of way.
This is one electric bike that's not intended for your morning commute to your job across town. It has a bigger point to make.
Iconic rider, innovative machine, inaugural race…
On June 12, 2009, on the Isle of Man, TTXGP, the world's first carbon-free Grand Prix, will take place. The inaugural event will also mark the beginning of Mission Motors' Motorsports Program as veteran motorcycle racer Tom Montano sets out prove the concept of Mission One at a Grand Prix level, racing with the best emission-free machines in the world.
"We are proud to have such an accomplished rider on board for our racing debut. Tom's racing experience and history at the TT coupled with our innovations in electric propulsion will be a winning combination for the team," said Forrest North, Mission Motors Founder and CEO. "This is a great opportunity to show the world that you can build a zero emissions sportbike without sacrificing power and top performance."
From the outset, the vision for North has been to show how innovative design, performance (make that "high performance"), and sustainability are all parts of the same equation that will lead to a better world. That's the kind of statement, in North's view, that riding a Mission One makes.
And now North and his team are looking to add an exclamation point to that statement by enlisting the racing expertise of Tom Montano to debut the 150 mph, full-band torque machine in direct competition with machines from other world-class innovators, all bringing to the event their ideas, passion, and belief that "being green does not mean being slow."
Behind every successful startup is a vision for a better world
From his days at Stanford University, where he led the Solar Car Team, to his work with Tesla Motors, North has pursued his driving vision to undo the myth that high-end performance and sustainable design are mutually exclusive. It's a vision that drove him to start a tiny little start-up in a garage in San Francisco's Mission district, assemble a team of some of the best and brightest engineers and designers he could find (many of them his old college chums), and turn that myth right on its head with the Mission One.
The story of this innovative startup continues, and Mission Motors stands ready to take on the world this June 12 on the Isle of Man, as clean machines from all over the world race for first place.

Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Justin Bieber took a page out of Michael Jackson's playbook and climbed to the top of his black SUV to wave to fans following his release from jail on Thursday.
Miami Beach police arrested the 19-year-old early Thursday morning after officers saw him racing a yellow Lamborghini through a residential neighborhood. He reportedly told police that he had been under the influence of alcohol, marijuana and anti-depressants.
After a judge set Bieber's bond at $2,500, the Canadian singer appeared outside Miami-Dade Jail Thursday afternoon wearing a black sweatshirt with the hood over his head.
Bieber's attorney, Roy Black, spoke to reporters following the pop star's release.
"At this particular time I'm not going to make any comment about the case except to say obviously that Mr. Bieber's been released on bail," Black said. "Both the state and I agree that the standard bail would apply in this case. They have not asked for any increase bail because of his popularity or fame. And I think this case hopefully will proceed as any other case in the system."

Went to see the Dreamboys in London with some friends.The show and Drag Queen were really good, however I was not impressed with the venue, service and staff. We were told there was food, which there wasn't. There was not enough seats for everybody, meaning we had to stand at the back, the bar ran out of alcohol before the show had even finished. The venue had been changed a few weeks before the show due to damage at the previous venue which I know can't be helped. However it's not an excuse… Read Full Review

Expertise and enthusiasm are the watchwords at this inviting store at the V&AWaterfront. A passion for showcasing South African wines is paramount and Vaughan's Top 100 list is an excellent guide for making one's wine selection. Good collectors as well as value-for-money buys and an international shipping service too.
Area Cape Town
Telephone 21 419 2121
Open 9am-6pm Mon-Fri; 9am-5pm Sat; 10am-5pm Sun.
Owner is extremely rude, definitely wont go back to his shop...
Vaughn was extremely rude, particularly to my grand daughter. He clearly dislikes children. His staff were petrified in his presence.
Poor selection of wines. We will never go there again.

Rude and Overly Pretentious!
My boyfriend and I decided to visit this shop to enquire about a wine we had the previous night with dinner and enjoyed. We know nothing about South African wine but live in San Francisco near some of the best wine regions in the world so can recognize a good tasting wine from a bad one. Needless to say we were enjoying a lovely afternoon in Cape Town before visiting this establishment. After asking about the wine we had with dinner the owner smugly and loudly pointed out, so that everyone could hear, that the wine was mass produced and could be bought at any grocer. It seemed as if he was actually trying to make us look like fools. My boyfriend promptly exited the shop and I was so stunned by this man's behavior that I just stood there shocked while the owner, having noticed my boyfriends departure, then made a remark that my boyfriend was "too sensitive and that he better shake that". Excuse me? What kind of a person belittles patrons and then attacks their character? This man could have very easily recommended a similar wine and made some money but instead decided to display very poor manners. We promptly went to the grocer and purchased a couple bottles of that mass produced yet delicious wine.
If you are looking for a wine shop that is welcoming, friendly, and willing to work with people who may not be wine aficionados than look elsewhere because Vaughan Johnson is exactly the opposite!
Thank you Jason for the great tour along the estates! You really know where to taste the great wines of Stellenbosch!!
Tip for everyone: contact Jason at the wineshop!
I phoned to VaughamWien shop 4 month ago to order wine. It was promissed tome to get e list. Nothing happen. The homepage is diverted to a blog in japanese.
Very disapointing.

* Prices may differ from that shown
Like everyone does when they are buying a new mobile phone I read the technical spec and it looked to be a really decent phone for the price.
I have had this phone for nearly a year now and can say it is the easiest phone I have owned. It came with some good tunes for the ring tone and message alerts but it is so easy to Bluetooth music from other mobile phones and my laptop.
The camera on this phone is brilliant and gives the user clear crisp pictures that can be emailed, sent in picture texts and blue-toothed to other appliances.
If I was to choose something negative about this phone I would say that the touch sensitive keys to answer and end calls are very sensitive and I have cut people of many a time without realizing because they have touched my cheek or ear-very annoying but a minor thing considering all the good points.
One other thing I would say is that this phone is very robust, I have dropped it down flights of stairs, dropped in nightclubs, spilt my cup of tea over it- you name it I have probably done it! Having said this it is still working fine so in my opinion it is a God Send considering how clumsy I am.

Early and Recent History and Genealogical Records
of Many of the Representative Citizens
DR. WILLIAM F. DONOVAN. Ability, when backed by enterprising measures and progressive ideas, will accomplish more than any other professional requirement, an illustration of which may be seen in the career of Dr. William F. Donovan, one of the most widely known opticians in the Southwest. He ranks among the leaders in the professional circles of Springfield, and is in every way deserving of the large success that he has attained in life, for he has by his own efforts risen from an environment none too auspicious to a conspicuous position in the professional world. But this is not to be wondered at when we learn that there runs in his veins blood of an excellent old Celtic family, and he has doubtless inherited from his sterling ancestors the characteristics that win in the battle of life.
Dr. Donovan was born in the city of Cork, Ireland, July 16, 1868. He is a son of John and Mary (McCarthy) Donovan. The father's death occurred in Hull, England in 1892. He was surveyor of the board of trade of the British government for a period of more than thirty years. He was also an officer in the Royal navy for a period of more than twenty years, having been a lieutenant. Our subject's mother died when he was an infant and he has little knowledge of her family.
Doctor Donovan attended the common schools and later was graduated from Christian Brothers College in 1883. When a boy he immigrated to America without the consent of his father. He went direct to St. Paul, Minnesota, and there began working for an oculist, remaining in his employ for six months, and then entered the University of Minnesota, near the city of St. Paul, remaining a student there two years. He received funds from his father to defray his expenses while in school there. He then went back to work for his former employer, the "Pioneer" oculist, remaining with him one year, then took a position in the technical department of the Spencer Optical Company, of New York City, remaining there about five years. Desiring to further his optical education, he spent one year in the Philadelphia College of Optics, and then went to Chicago and took charge of the Julius King Optical Company of the Chicago branch, this firm having other branches in Philadelphia, Cleveland and Chicago, the company's headquarters being in New York. After remaining three years with this company in Chicago and becoming exceptionally well equipped for his life work, he opened offices for himself on State street in Chicago, where he built up a lucrative and satisfactory business, remaining there until the opening of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, in 1904, when he came to St. Louis to accept a flattering offer by the A. S. Aloe Optical Company of that city, who had obtained exclusive optical concession at the World's Fair. Doctor Donovan accepted the offer and became general superintendent and head consultant in difficult cases. He remained with this widely known firm until the close of the fair, giving his usual satisfaction and high-grade service.
On February 6, 1905, Doctor Donovan came to Springfield, Missouri, and opened an office at 303 South street, taking the entire floor, and immediately built upon one of the largest businesses of its kind in the Southwest. After a stay of six months it became apparent, because of the crude and unsatisfactory work received in ordering his lenses ground in St. Louis and Kansas City and the necessity of returning them frequently for correction, it was absolutely necessary, if he was to turn out the high-class work, which had already won him an enviable reputation in Chicago and elsewhere, he must install a grinding plant of his own. In September, 1905, an order for the same was placed with the Bausch & Lamb Company of Rochester, New York, and on November 1, 1905, was ground the first lens in southwestern Missouri, and his is still the only institution equipped for lens grinding in southern Missouri; in fact, there are only four other lens grinding concerns in the state. The extent to which Doctor Donovan's private practice has grown is illustrated by the fact that he has on file seventy-five thousand prescriptions for lenses, fitted and ground under his supervision, in addition to this, many lenses for other opticians in this section of the state. An average day's grinding amounts to fifty pairs of lenses. Eight expert lens grinders and one frame maker are employed. Sixteen people are employed by Doctor Donovan to assist him in ministering to the needs of the eyes of the people of the Ozarks., In 1913 he removed from his first location to 306 South street, taking the entire ground floor, his increased business making this move necessary. In May, 1914, he began the erection of the attractive and substantial Donovan building at 420 South Jefferson street, and it was completed the following October. It occupies an excellent site just across the street from the Y. M. C. A. building. It was built at a cost of forty thousand dollars, and its erection would indicate the faith of Dr. Donovan in the future of Springfield.
Dr. Donovan was married on Thanksgiving Day, 1909, to Mary B. Durbin, a daughter of William F. and Matilda (Manning) Durbin, natives of Kentucky, from which state they came to Greene county, Missouri, in 1879, Mr. Durbin engaging in the grocery business on the public square, later removing to a location on South Campbell street. He is now conducting a large grocery store and meat market on College street. Mrs. Donovan was born in Springfield, on September 20, 1885, and here she grew to womanhood and received a liberal education in the Loretto Academy, making a good record, and graduating from that institution in 1900. She was talented by nature as a musician and she devoted special attention to the study of this art, with the result that she is a highly accomplished musician, both vocal and instrumental.

I'm not seeing any McNeelys buried in this 'McNeely' Cemetery. Does anyone know why it's called McNeely Cemetery??
I'm looking for my ggg-grandmother - Frances 'Fannie' McNeely's family. Fannie married Allen Adkins and they disappeared sometime between 1862 and 1870.
I've seen Joel Hager's Descendants of William McNeely
By Joel Hager May 17, 2008, but when it gets to Fannie's parents their names are not listed.
Fannie was 1 of 5 children who belonged to a son of William McNeely and his wife - Rebecca Barnett.
Does anyone recognize any of this McNeely family or know any of Fannie's siblings' families??
Her siblings were:
William McNeely m. Hannah Huffman
Joseph McNeely m. Martha 'Patsy' Workman
Samuel McNeely m. Susannah Richards
then Frances 'Fannie' McNeely m. Allen Adkins (s/o Elias and Susannah Adkins)
John Floyd McNeely m. Elizabeth McDonald
Any and all information on the McNeely family would be greatly appreciated.

Essence best-selling author La Jill Hunt is a hot voice in African-American fiction. Her humorous novels are a big hit with fans, who love her sharp characterizations and snappy dialogue. Don't be fooled by the title - No More Drama's got more drama than an acting school.
©2004 La Jill Hunt; (P)2007 Recorded Books
"Too much drama!"
What started out as a story about 2 brothers ends up taking a detour somewhere else. There was a never a dull moment to the plot line, but with a title like "No More Drama," what else would you expect? There were far too many characters involved for me. Trying to remember who slept with whom got taxing at times, not to mention gross! The author did a nice job with character development, which allowed the narrator to shine. A very entertaining read that held my attention throughout.
"loads of excitement"
This book was great. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. There is definitely a whole lot of drama going on in this book. If you need a book that will hold your attention from beginning to end, this is the one.
"A lot of drama before no more drama:)"
Yes, just to hear Kevin Free read it.
Any book with the word drama in it.
Yes! He's just good.
Made me laugh and hold back tears.
Keep reading to me Free.
"Great Sequel"
This was the sequel to Drama Queen! Plenty of drama...can't wait to read/listen to the next installment.
"No more drama"
I thought it was pretty good/funny.... Lots of DRAMA going on, thats for sure!! Along with lessons taught for having misleading relationships and how they can (will) backfire... My con for this: (Narrator/Too many characters) I had to get use to the narrator display of the characters.. I really like La Jill Hunt but I must confess that I had a hard time paying attention or keeping up to all the characters displayed in this book - YET - on the other hand I thought she was very clever with how she took multiple characters from her previous books and placed them in this book. Kudos sweety..

hi, got my little girl a 3ds about 12 months ago and just wondered if they play 3ds games through the 4r card and were to get the games and r4 card from. its been stuck in the drawer for the last 5 months as she doesnt have many games for it
Hi, currently there is still no flash cart can play 3ds games, so all of them will just play ds games on the 3ds. i suggest you just buy a r4i card for here and she will get tons of ds games and play them on 3ds. when there is a flashcart comes update in future (won't be in short time), you can just update your card or buy a new card then. If you want to buy a r4 card, make sure you buy r4i gold 3ds released by r4ids.cn, this one: R4i Gold 3DS Wood R4i 3DS flashcard For DS DSi 3DS -dsflashcart.com do not buy other clone r4 cards.
Do yourself a favor, don't buy crappy flashcarts.

OldGrowth (204) the Containment Area, North Carolina | October 21, 2008| Updated March 31, 2009
I had to visit after some joking between me and Nicerinperson. big place, bar is straight ahead as you walk in rectangle shape with chairs for twenty or thirty people, a few booths in the bar area. Large dining area on the right, pool tables and game rooms on the left. Lots of TV's, classic sportsbar. Brick and wood motif. Smelled smokey even though I didn't see anyone smoking. Service was good. It was a Tuesday afternoon. There where clearly some regular lunch folks who got most of the staffs attention. Small Micro drafts available, Big Boss, Duck Rabbit are what I remember for locals. I had the boneless buffalo wings, they were fine. Prices are in line for this sort of place, maybe a tad better. I was told this place gets crazy for wolfpack games. No reason as a beer geek to stop here though.
ucusty (52) raleigh , North Carolina | January 8, 2008
decent tap selection lots of locals, not really to many rarities. decent food.
BeerCommonSewr (9) North Carolina | September 29, 2006
Good place to watch a football game or play trivia, QB1, or Poker on their NTN network. Some hard to find beers on tap that rotate now and again so that there is always a nice variety as well as the standards. Food is your standard bar fare but not overall is pretty good.

En Pointe is about to begin test deployments of ECS, its En Pointe Collaboration Solution, and will be the first firm other than a telecommunications service provider to embrace the system. Verizon's version of Cisco Hosted Collaboration was announced in March at the Enterprise Connect conference, and AT&T is also planning a service based on the Cisco technology.
Because the telecommunication firms currently are testing the Hosted Collaboration Service with a limited number of customers, En Point wants to get a jump on the market by making its service available as of October 1. "We think we will beat them to market with the general release," Lon Cameron, director of hosted services, said in an interview.
Compared with a big telecommunications firm, or a pure cloud-computing player, En Pointe also believes its experience as a VAR serving mid-market customers and managing their on-premises technology "allows us to create a service more in tune with what customers need," Cameron said. Many companies have sprung up to offer voice over Internet protocol telephony as a hosted service, but the "next generation" of service needs to include video and collaboration services, he said.
Through wholesale relationships with telecommunications service providers, En Pointe can provide the same network services to its customers without being a telecom operator itself, Cameron said.
En Pointe is targeting midmarket firms of 600 to 800 employees, although it will also pursue Fortune 500 companies as the opportunity arises. ECS will be sold in five basic feature bundles, starting with a VoIP service, voice with more calling features, voice plus video, and two higher-level voice, video, and collaboration packages. Pricing for ECS will range from $42 to the high $60s per seat, per month, depending on the options purchased. En Point also charges an implementation fee and asks for a 3-year commitment to the service.
In return, En Point is promising a turnkey service where all required hardware will be bundled into the price. Its higher-level packages include Cisco phones with integrated video screens, features like mobile phone integration with a corporate extension, and WebEx web and video conferencing.
Cameron said the pricing and configuration of the solution can also be adjusted for customers who want a hybrid solution that allows them to continue to take advantage of their existing on premises equipment in combination with features of the cloud offering.
Security concerns give many companies pause as they consider migrating portions of their IT operations to cloud-based services. But you can stay safe in the cloud. In this Dark Reading Tech Center report, we explain the risks and guide you in setting appropriate cloud security policies, processes and controls. Read our report now.

I can't see anyone wanting to flip to those four guys. I don't think anyone in the majority alliance feels like they are at the bottom of it, so switching to become number five among challenge beasts would be craziness. It would take some mighty sweet talking and someone to be really really dumb for things to change, I think.
The majority alliance would have to be INSANE to vote out Phillip next. He thinks he's kingpin, so he's not going to flip, and they need his vote for a while anyway.
I would like to add, if the majority alliance votes out a couple of the minority ones, things could get really interesting as the seven start jostling for positions, and possibly using a couple of the minority alliance to help them with that. If that happens, I hope Malcolm and Michael are spared the next couple of votes. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plays out!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.
I did think it was interesting that no one from the favorite alliance even went to Malcom to say whom they were voting for. I thought he was on the "inside" with Phillip. If Malcom is smart he will say if asked, that Corrine said that they were going to vote off Shari per Phillip. Phillip might buy that.
There's no place like home!
I didn't think Dawn backstabbed her yet in that she didn't go directly to Phillip. Corrine wanted her to tell the others except Phillip, that her alliance will vote Sheri. Dawn told Cochran and he didn't like it so he told Andrea who you know will always tell Philip because she wants to ride his coattails. When Philip said that they have to get rid of Corrine, that was the time when Dawn backstabbed her in that she didn't tell Corrine that she's on the chopping block. In her exit interview, Corrine said that she didn't care for anyone else except for Malcolm and Michael. So she really didn't care for Dawn, she just wanted to get her trust.
I think Corrine was afraid, that Sheri might steal her gay toy from her so she wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible. She's such a f*g hag! LOL

I think we would have seen a discussion with Malcolm.
There's no place like home!
I'm rarely "offended" nor do I have a lot of patience with people who are "always offended." Particularly about Words. But tonight, I was really appalled at how Corrine stated that "she had the Gay."
Sooooo demeaning to him. Like a lot of posters already have stated, he's not a pet.
Really good episode. Reminded me of the old days of Survivor.
I don't care for Reynold's looks....and tonight I saw a shot of Erik with his hair blown back....He's going to be a really good looking man as he gets a little more maturity.
I also think Cochran will also look a lot better as he ages/matures. Often men look better when they're older.
The eating contest was the grossest thing ever! Could never ever do it.
What a great blindside, and it couldn't have happened to a more deserving person (except for Reynold maybe lol). See ya Corrine, don't let the door hit you on the way out, I'm so glad she won't be on the jury either. Reynold and Eddie just can't seem to get it right...Reynold was so sure he finally found his way into a majority alliance
This could be a real exciting season going forward. There's Cochran the hilarious genius (I was so happy he won immunity by the way g), Sherri's been forced to lay low after being a real dominant player on the original Fans tribe and with other targets can go far, Michael was never really close to Eddie or Reynold and could also lay low assuming the three strong guys will be targeted first, and you can never count out Malcolm, especially when he has an idol. I wasn't crazy about this season, and the whole Brandon situation was just depressing, but one awesome blindside can change everything...in less than an hour I went from indifferent to excited. Can't wait to see what happens next!

New York Giants vs Baltimore Ravens Live Stream: Watch Online NFL Football Free
The New York Giants will clash with the Baltimore Ravens in a huge game on Sunday in the NFL.
The game will see two of the league's biggest teams, both struggling in recent weeks, come together for an epic clash.
The game is scheduled to start at 4.25 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream (details below).
The New York Giants are in danger of letting their season slip through their fingers, with a run of form that has seen them lose four of their last six games. That run of poor results has left them on 8-6 and in a three way tie for the NFC East divisional title with the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys. Howevr, the Giants are at a distinct disadvantage due to their divisional results, meaning the title is out if their hands and they must hope for other results to now go their way.
Last week the Giants were chastised in no uncertain terms by the Atlanta Falcons, being dismantled 0-34.
The problem with the Giants right now is that no one knows what team will show up. The team that smashed the Green Bay Packers 38-10 and the New Orleans Saints 52-27, both in the last month? Or the team that slumped to the Redskins 16-17 and were put to the sword by the Falcons 0-34, also both in the last month.
If the Giants continue this roller coaster ride any longer there will not be much more of their season left, and their dreams of retaining the Super Bowl will be left in tatters.
They have already almost let the divisional title slip from their grasp, and they will need to win out and hope other results go their way now to get their hands back on the NFC East crown.
They simply must-win today against the Ravens, and see off the Eagles in the final game to try and hit some kind of consistency going into the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Ravens have already just about secured their playoff spot, although the one comfort for the Giants coming into this game is that they are playing another top team suffering as strange form as themselves.
The Ravens come into this game on the back of three straight losses, which has seen them slip from 9-2 back to 9-5. They are also letting Cincinnati continue their dream of overturning them for the AFC North division title. Cincinnati are 8-6 and just a game out from the Ravens with just two weeks to go.
Should the Ravens lose again today it could smash the division wide open. However, if the Raves can win at home today then they would finally clinch the divisional title.
New York Giants vs Baltimore Ravens will start at 4.25 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream by clicking here.

Johannesburg - South Africa intends to create a R10bn fund to tackle massive unemployment, the ANC's secretary general Gwede Mantashe told Reuters on Tuesday.
The R10bn job fund will be a partnership between the government and the private sector, he said.
Initially the government will lay out the capital, and businesses who participate by hiring new workers or providing training schemes were likely to benefit from incentives such as tax breaks.
Job creation was expected to be the major theme of President Jacob Zuma's state of the nation address on Thursday, when he outlines his government's priorities.
"We must not only do something when the anger and humiliation of those unemployed turn into uprisings when they begin to revolt," Mantashe said.
The fund will be used to help Zuma's already announced plan to create five million jobs in 10 sectors, although some analysts say the focus on government-directed employment growth should be shifted to the private sector, with laws that make it easier and less costly for firms to hire workers.
Unemployment fell to 24% in the fourth quarter of 2010 from 25.3% in the third quarter, but more than half of employable youth under 24 were without work.
High unemployment levels are partially attributed to tough labour laws, which make it relatively expensive and unattractive for firms to hire new workers.
However, calls to amend the labour laws have traditionally raised tensions between Zuma's ANC and the labour federation Cosatu that supported his rise to power.
"He (Zuma) needs to make it easier and cheaper to do business and loosen labour market tension if there are going to be any strides towards growing employment," independent political analyst Nic Borain said.
Mantashe said the fund was intended to address skills shortages and to provide real benefits for the unemployed, and to lessen the impact of the poverty many of them endure.
The government has proposed sweeping changes to labour laws intended to appease Cosatu by increasing job security for temporary workers, but economists expect the shake-up will make unemployment worse and ramp up costs for employers.
The ANC and Cosatu are at odds over the ruling party dropping the adjective "decent" to describe the types of jobs it plans to create. Mantashe said there was nothing as "indecent" as being unemployed.
Apart from the job fund, Zuma's government was also contemplating a youth wage subsidy for entry level workers. This is likely to appease business, which was unhappy with paying high start-up wages without knowing an employee's level of skill.
Only R10 billion to create jobs? But the spent over 50 billion on a silly world cup that ran at a dead loss with fafa taking all the profit? And they spent even more than that on the arms deal. This is just proof that the anc government does not care about the unemployed and poor. Fortunately for the anc, the masses will never consider these numbers and realise that their government does not give a **** about them. Such a waste.
Only for black people again I suppose?!
Small business should be allowed more breaks and skin color should play less of a factor in this country. That's if you want business free to do what it does best: create jobs.
Forget about nationalising mines. Focus on fixing potholes, policing etc, loosen the constraning laws around businessand let business take care of business. Business likes the color of money- nothing else. It's time to be as color blind as business if you want this country to grow. Or we entrepeneurs will leave. We've had it with silly racist laws and tax money squandered.
Drop the ridiculous labour laws and start creating a prosperous country for ALL its poeple, not only for a few union bosses.
That is what they will say now with the elections on the way.
Where are they going to find jobs, when foreign investment is bypassing us because of our stupid labour laws. Who will want to over staff their business by employing them train them and get stuck with them when they don't need them after the Govt has taxed us to death with no disposable income to grow the economy. Really does not make long term sense.
It is time the unions and govt came to there senses and scrapped most of the labour laws so making the employee respnsable for his action and destiny instead of creating a nanny state, that we alrady have. West african countries and Asia are sourcing our foreign investment.Half of the 10bn will be used for parties by Govt officials anyway.
well, the hikes in electricity prices and the new toll gates will create job losses in the business sector.
Please Mr president, explian to me how you are going to tackle job creation against job losses due to price hikes
What should happen is a 35% reduction on Personal Tax (See that we are now directly funding Escom, plastic bages, road maintenace, buying school books, have hospital plans,pay additional property tax, etc.) and have to get paid Interest at money market rates for Paye paid inadvance to SARS (It is actually only payable at the end of the SARS Fiscal Year) and allowed for deducting any "Input Cost" towards earning a salary, education, training, toll gate fees, transport cost and expenses occured on earning a living, i.e; 14% VAT on food and clothes to wear, etc.
Just some retoric before the election to go with the T shirts that will be given away by the ANC. T shirts that are made in China because the labour laws destroyed the viability of making clothing locally and providing jobs.
It is just another slush fund that will be plundered by the corrupt few and financed by the working few.
To the ANC's secretary general Gwede Mantashe! What the "frikkadel" happened to the SETA's???????????????. They have more than enough in their account!!! Another foolish way to channel money to the enriched BEE.
The only way to promote job growth is through private sector growth. No amount of money a goverment spends on stimulus will create any jobs. Look at the US. SA needs to catch a wake up and make it attractive for foreign investment. Decrease corporate tax rates and change labor laws so that employers are not held hostage by their employees. Since when is it a right to have a job? It is a priveledge. Employers should have the right to hire and fire who they want when they want and should not be held responsible for an employees lack of effort. Current labor laws breed lazy workers because they can never be fired, yet can demand more pay.
First of all, governements consume money - they don't create 'sustainable' jobs. Better to de-regulate the labour market and reduce taxes; it worked everywhere else and it would work here too. The ANC dfoesn't want to limit its ability to buy votes through social welfare (of which it pockets 90% in salaries for the welafre bureaucracy). In fact, given the track record of the ANC, it will proabaly steal most of the remaining 10% in any case.
So the taxpayer again is going to pay for a wasteful, ineffective fund (see UIF fund, see Skills Development Fund etc...) which is supposed to "create" jobs. Neither the ANC nor Cosatu can create jobs. This is the work of intelligent, resourceful entrepeneurs. Gov should rather keep their grubby paws out of business....
I have a better idea. Let's organise a Youth Congress, and discuss how we are going to tackle this issue. Only ZAR 10m, cheap at half the price.
@Deepee,,Drop the labour law???Dude are u smoking pot??? We might as well drop any other law in SA. Labour law it's there to keep arrogant and stupid employers at bay. The problem with people like you its that you think labour law was implemented for blacks but you would be suprised if you give yourself time and visit the CCMA offices for a day or two.
@gee dee, Leave!!!! These labour laws applies to every1. Don't flirt yourself and think that black businesses are free from labour laws. As much as we all know that if you exceed the speed limit you will be charged for that, the same goes for labour law, if you run a chinese factory then your ass will be burnt.
There has been an unemployment problem for too long now. We all know this is Part of the macro enviroment problems that are hard to tackle but I think we should stop talking and start doing.To be honest most south africans are lazy and love money but to decrease problems such as povery the government cant ignore the situation...
10 billion will give 500000 people R1666 p/m for 1 year.
I sense a wonderful opportunity to fool the electorate and then engage in a spot of corruption before throwing a party and going to Heaven.
@ every1,,,ask urselves this question..."why was the labour law implemented in the first place?" The labour law is not contributing to unemployement,,,whoever came up with that is smoking pot. Go do a proper investigation before blasting your mouth off with false information. Let me fill you in,,,,most referred disputes at the ccma is those of unfair dismissal, in most of the time you find that the employer failed to follow the proper channel of addressing issues within the company. Companies have policies but they can't apply whats on the paper properly. Theres companies that can assist employers with incompetent IR Managers on labour law. EDUCATE YOURSELVES AND STOP CRYING ABOUT THE LABOUR LAW BEING TOUGH.
Much prayer and honesty,and vote and encourage others to vote. God have mercy on South Africa,these people who kill the farmers are not humans they are savages prompted by the secret agenda spilled over from the heart of and evil Murdering Devil"Kill the Boer" God will deal with him he has not long to reign...

MOSCOW, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Metropolitan Kirill officially became the 16th Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia on behalf of the Russian Orthodox Church on Sunday, the church says.
RIA Novosti said in an enthronement ceremony in Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral Sunday, church officials presented Kirill with the tunic, broad scarf and headgear typically worn by the church patriarch.
Kirill was picked last week by the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church to take over the patriarch post left vacant by the death of Patriarch Alexy II. Alexy died at the age of 79 in December.
Pope Benedict XVI supported the results of the council's vote last Tuesday with a message of hope regarding his church's relations with the Russian Orthodox Church.
"May the Almighty also bless your efforts to seek that fullness of communion which is the goal of Catholic-Orthodox collaboration and dialogue," the Roman Catholic Church leader said last Wednesday.
RIA Novosti said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin were among the top dignitaries present at Sunday's ceremony.

A Hassocks garden centre owner who objected to plans for holiday lodges and three football pitches two years ago has submitted his own plans for another scheme on the land.
Two years ago, Jonathan Tate, who owns South Downs Garden Centre off Brighton Road, wrote a strong letter of objection to a plan for 23 holiday lodges on land backing on to Hassocks Football Club, citing traffic, flood risk, nuisance and "wholly inappropriate" commercial development in the countryside.
He added in his objection letter dated May 22, 2010: "...there are already an adequate number of football pitches in Hassocks."
In a separate letter of objection, Mr Tate's own Board of Directors described the land as "an important rural break around Hassocks that should be protected".
Since then, Mr Tate has acquired the land and submitted plans for an educational barn, nine holiday lets or 'Eco-lodges' and three football pitches, one adult size, a junior size and a mini pitch.
Mr Tate wants to expand a heritage centre, which is currently a display area in his garden centre showing mainly agricultural machinery and tools, into a 'Heritage Educational Barn' on the site where craft skills could be taught. The holiday cabins would help to finance the scheme.
His application states: "The existing heritage centre has had huge input from the local community" and the barn proposal "has been met with great enthusiasm".
However, Hassocks Parish Council suggests quite the opposite, stating in its objections: "The heritage centre in the South Downs Garden Centre does not appear to be much used so there is no proven need to expand the facility."
The council points out that a large, under-used camping and caravan park already exists at Lodge Lane, Keymer and adds: "There is little evidence of a local need" for additional football pitches because Hassocks Football Club "attracts a number of visitors from outside the village rather than local residents".
The council concludes: "The Parish Council concurs with all the objections Mr Tate had to the earlier application, which are applicable to the current application."
The site, with flooding problems, is inside the National Park and Mr Tate's plan will be determined by the National Park Authority in December.
A resident living across the road from the garden centre, Andrew Vermes, claimed: "We don't need a new heritage centre, the one in the garden centre is just used to signpost the cafe next door. This kind of development is inappropriate in a National Park."
Nearby resident, Julia Brown, added: "I wasn't notified in writing about the plans. This is lovely greenfield space and I would be able to see the development from my windows."
Defending his apparent U-turn, Mr Tate said: "I would be the first to agree that previous proposals by developers to build a high intensity holiday caravan park in the location were entirely inappropriate.
"We are very excited, however, that the aims and objectives of the new South Downs National Park Authority give support to low impact community based projects such as ours that will bring many benefits both to the National Park and to the local community."
The planning reference is: SDNP/12/02530/FUL
The deadline for comments is, ideally, by the end of tomorrow, November 29. Comments, with the planning reference clearly shown should be emailed to: firstname.lastname@example.com
You can view the plans on the South Downs National Park Authority website:
If you click on 'planning' on the top bar you can type in the planning reference to bring up the relevant documents.
Hassocks Parish Council has asked for the Park Authority to determine the plans.

Milwaukee –City public service workers, community members and activists were joined by AFSCME members from across the country today at Red Arrow Park to protect collective bargaining rights and defend the vital public services that the people of Milwaukee rely on.
"Today the people of Milwaukee are calling on our elected leaders to stand up for the working middle class and for essential public services in a time of great need," said Rich Abelson, Executive Director of AFSCME Council 48. "Milwaukee public service workers need a voice on the job through an ordinance to restore some of the rights that the governor has stripped away."
Hundreds of members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 48 (Milwaukee), AFSCME Council 24 and participants in AFSCME's National Women's Conference being held this week in Milwaukee urged the city's Common Council to recognize the rights of public service workers and protect essential public services, especially during these difficult times.
"In these tough times, Milwaukeeans need to pull together to find solutions that work for everyone," said Annie Wacker, a city resident and president of AFSCME Local 1954. "We can't cut our way to prosperity."
When the contract with the City of Milwaukee expires on Dec. 31, Milwaukee's public service workers, members of AFSCME Council 48, will lose their collective bargaining rights. At that point, they will lose their ability to bargain over wages, hours and working conditions because of the new state law that stripped away the collective bargaining rights of nearly 200,000 Wisconsin public service employees, including more than 60,000 AFSCME members.
"The workers who make Milwaukee an orderly, clean and vibrant city shouldn't be treated as second class citizens," said Ken Wischer, a truck driver and equipment operator for the city's public works department and a member of AFSCME Local 423. "We deserve a voice on the job so we can continue to provide great services to the public."
The rally also put a spotlight on expected budget cuts and other changes that will adversely affect public service workers and the citizens of Milwaukee who rely on vital public services.
"The people of Milwaukee know that you can't build a strong middle class when you're tearing down the services that help people find a way up," said AFSCME International Secretary-Treasurer Lee A. Saunders. "And you can't build a strong city by taking it apart, brick by brick by brick."
"These are not just attacks on public service workers, but the middle class itself," added Paulette Feld, who works at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh and is President of AFSCME Council 24. "These politicians are creating massive deficits by giving tax breaks to the rich, while balancing the budget on the backs of the working middle class."

Criterium Continues in Portarlington
The Mitchelton Bay Cycling Classic continued on to Portarlington yesterday. Another wonderful day as far as the weather went. Blue skies with lots of fluffy clouds. Perfect for taking photos. I have some more for you today, I hope you aren't getting too bored with them.
I look at the images and think I could do this or that to them, but right now there is no time, I am having a hard time just getting the posts done each day, no time for fancy editing.
The image above was taken from ground level, well almost, and she was coming into the corner. I love shots like these, and I am getting the impression you do as well.
For me, this is a fantastic shot, there are lots of cyclists around, but you really only see one. It is also a very hard shot to get. You have to be good at panning, but more on that tomorrow.
While there yesterday, I decided to play with my Holga lens and the fish-eye attachment that I got with it. I really haven't done that enough, so I wanted to see if it was possible with cycling.
This is probably the best shot I got. It doesn't do very well with speed. It was so hard to get shots that were in focus. Perhaps it is more of a still life sort of camera, good for things that aren't moving.
This was with the fish-eye attachment, which worked better. Though it was better conditions as well. Great effect and I might have to try it more, but not today.
I just want to show you two images that I have did some editing to, but not a lot. The next two images were taken on the first day in Geelong.
This is Emma, she is only 15 and racing with the Elite women, pretty amazing for a girl so young. I don't know if many of you are aware of this, but juniors have to race on restricted gearing, I think it is to protect them, so they don't get injured from pushing really big gears before their bodies are ready. It also puts them on a fairly fair playing ground with their peers. Emma is Under 17, so she rides with restricted gearing, even when she is the only one, her gears are still restricted. A tough ask, but it was great to see her out there doing what she could.
This is Lara and she is from NSW. She has recently gone up to U19, so gears still restricted, though not much.
With these last two images I have just blurred the back grounds, more to make them stand out. I wanted to make them the focus of the images. These are more individual portrait shots, I would call them, rather than shots of the racing.
Today is the last day. We are off to Williamstown today. It is going to be hot, 36C or 97F, so not great, but we are expecting southerly sea breezes, so that should make it bearable. Williamstown always has massive crowds, so it should make for an interesting day. Am I looking forward to it, I don't know.

User Interaction and Forms - Page 3
January 17, 2002
The key to creating interactivity with PHP is to understand the techniques we can use to send information about a users' interaction along with their request for a new Web page. PHP makes this fairly easy, as we'll now see.
The simplest method we can use to send information along with a
page request uses the URL query string. If you've ever
seen a URL with a question mark following the filename, you've
witnessed this technique in use. Let's look at an easy example.
Create a regular HTML file called
This is a link to a file called
To really understand the results of this, we need to look at
Now, if you use the link in the first file to load this second
file, you'll see that the page says "Welcome to our Web site,
Kevin!" The value of the variable passed in the query string of
the URL was automatically placed into a PHP variable called
You can pass more than one value in the query string if you want
to. Let's look at a slightly more complex version of the same
example. Change the link in the HTML file to read as follows
(this is
This time, we'll pass two variables:
As before, we can use the two variable values in our
This is all well and good, but we still have yet to achieve our goal of true user interaction, where the user can actually enter arbitrary information and have it processed by PHP. To continue with our example of a personalized welcome message, we'd like to allow the user to actually type his or her name and have it appear in the message. To allow the user to type in a value, we'll need to use an HTML form.
Here's the code (
Don't be alarmed at the slashes that appear in some of these tags
This form has the exact same effect as the second link we looked
at (with
The method attribute of the form tag is used to tell the browser
how to send the variables and their values along with the
request. A value of get (as used above) causes them to be passed
in the query string, but there is an alternative. It's not always
desirable -- or even technically feasible -- to have the values
appear in the query string. What if we included a
This form is functionally identical to the previous one. The only difference is that the URL of the page that's loaded when the user clicks the "GO" button will not have a query string. On the one hand, this lets you include large values, or sensitive values (like passwords) in the data that's submitted by the form, without their appearing in the query string. On the other hand, if the user bookmarks the page that results from their submission of the form, that bookmark will be useless, as it doesn't contain the submitted values. This, incidentally, is the main reason that search engines like AltaVista use the query string to submit search terms. If you bookmark a search results page on AltaVista, you can use that bookmark to perform the same search again later, because the search terms are contained in the URL.
That covers the basics of using forms to produce rudimentary user interaction with PHP. We'll cover more advanced issues and techniques in later examples.

Written on: 29/09/2013 by Clarisa (1 review written)
Hi there,
On saturday night I decided to try this new site "Best" Travel Store and give it a shot ... wrong idea!
I bought the ticket and I am used to receive the confirmation in my email 5 to 15 minutes later but this time I received instead a message saying they would check my credit card and let me know if the ticket would be confirmed.
I thought that process would take 24 hours (more than usual taking in consideration the technology in communications we have now a days). Almost 48 hours after I bought the ticket on their site (and after at least 4 emails from my side saying I did not want another airline or time) they sent me an email saying it was impossible for them to confirm the ticket because they could not reach my bank B.S. They asked me if I would accept another plane ticket for extra $10 and I said NO.
First and last time I use their site to buy a plane ticket. I booked my ticket in 3 minutes in Orbitz and got the confirmation email in 7 minutes. That is good service.
I DO NOT RECOMMENT Best Travel Store.

Jerome signs new Norwich contract
Norwich City striker Cameron Jerome has signed a new three-year contract, with an option in the club's favour to extend it by a further 12 months.
The 29-year-old has scored 24 goals in 80 matches since joining the Canaries from Stoke City in the summer of 2014.
Of those goals, 21 came in 2014-15 as Norwich won Championship promotion, but they were relegated last season.
"It's nice to get this deal over the line early on so I can come back fully focused for next season," he said.
"Within a couple of weeks of joining I realised what a good club this was. It's a good set of players and the manager is really enthusiastic and wants to help the lads improve.
"We need to come back with fresh optimism to get the job done and get promoted again next season."

Netanyahu Informs Peres That Israel's 33rd Government Has Been Formed
After turbulent negotiations that culminated in the signing of coalition agreements with Yesh Atid and Habayit Hayehudi, PM announces that he has fulfilled his task, just before extension expired.
Prime Minister Netanyahu informed President Shimon Peres Saturday night that he has successfully formed a government.
His announcement came after Yesh Atid and Habayit Hayehudi signed coalition agreements on Friday, bringing the negotiations between their parties and Likud-Yisrael Beiteinu to an end. With the parties signing the agreement, Israel's coalition was formed one day before the extension granted to Netanyahu by the president was due to expire.
The 33rd government will be sworn into Knesset on Monday.
Speaking on Friday after the agreement was signed, Netanyahu said, "We will work together in a new government with cooperation for the sake of all Israel's citizens. We will work to strengthen the security of the State of Israel and to improve the quality of life for Israeli citizens."
Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid managed to hold his first meeting with outgoing Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz on Friday in preparation of assuming the position. On his Facebook page, Lapid responded to criticisms of his appointment to finance minister. "I knew ahead of time what the risks involved were. I know of the argument that Netanyahu offered me the position so that I would fail. Even those who do not believe Netanyahu should know that if the finance minister fails, he takes the prime minister down with him."
Lapid added that he intends on conducting a "daily war to protect the Israeli middle class, [who are] suffering from two decades of neglect."
Habayit Hayehudi chairman Naftali Bennett said on Friday that "with the help of God, we signed. The 33rd government of Israel is on its way. I wish Prime Minister Netanyahu, and all of us, the ministers of government, to remember that we are servants of the public, committed to the people of Israel and all citizens of Israel."

Andre Rison is in a Georgia jail for failure to pay child support, but his business manager believes the Argos receiver has been set up.
Rison, who joined the Argos midway into the 2004 season, was sentenced to jail on Wednesday pending payment of $127,000 US he owes to a woman, Raycoa Handley, with whom he has two sons.
Rison was sentenced to an additional 20 days in jail for violating a court order to pay $3,500-a-month child support for his 16-year-old and 18-year-old sons since August 2002.
Rison's manager, Bill Thies, said the player agreed in September to appear at a Decatur, Ga., court room on Wednesday to take care of his legal situation.
"We understood that the warrant (for his arrest) had been set aside because he had started to send (Handley) money out of his cheque," Thies said.
Rison received a prorated $60,000 salary from the Argos. Thies said Rison paid half of his net salary to Handley -- about $10,000 US.
"For her to grab him and say he is still in contempt when they'd already agreed in early September to set that aside was to us a complete ambush," Thies said. "We came to settle the matter and to determine what was going to have to be owed for the future."
The Argos were aware of Rison's plight.
"(Rison) has got to figure out his own situation," Argos coach Pinball Clemons said. "There is no guarantee that Andre will be an Argo again. We will have discussions with his people."
Rison, who spent 12 seasons in the NFL, appeared in five games with the Argos -- losing his starting spot before the playoffs and sitting out the Grey Cup, which Toronto won -- catching 14 passes for 174 yards and one touchdown.
Thies said Rison wants to return to the Argos.
He said Rison has been unfairly portrayed, that he was not a deadbeat dad and has supported the children financially.
