He is a monthly contributor to Channel.
Dream big, live big... FORGET 'CAN'T'
Do you remember a time when people asked you what you wanted to be? Before the world had tarnished your thinking? Before you learnt about restrictions and boundaries? When dreams were big and anything was possible? A time before you knew can't?
As a nation, Kiwis have had some notable people that could still think like that as adults. They opened up a host of possibilities that changed the world. Sir Ed; there was no can't when he decided to climb Everest. Nor was can't on the mind of Mark Ingles when he would be the first double leg amputee to climb Everest they both saw possibility and sunk a pick-axe into the ice. Then there's Burt Munro, he seized the possibility of the World's Fastest Indian, put his foot down and sped into the record books. And there's more, when we put our mind to something, when we dream big, think of the possibility, we can really make things happen.
It is natural and healthy for people to dream like this as it has taken the world forward, technology has evolved, so too has education and the record books that provide a sporting history have continued to challenge what people once said to be impossible. This is why sporting brands use slogans such as 'Impossible is Nothing'.
To dream a dream that alters life for self and others takes courage especially when there are people whose limited vision can be influential enough to crush a dream. Sir Edmond Hillary was the last kid to be picked for his PE class for he appeared scrawny and weak. Albert Einstein was told he could not be a teacher and a fellow athlete of mine (from my sporting days) who was once unable to run was refused entry to the Olympics for it was thought his artificial legs may put him at an advantage from the rest of his field. Sir Ed, Einstein and Oscar (the athlete) are among few who did persist to rise above what others said couldn't be done. This is a strength that is not taught, it is rare and those who don't have the strength to rebuild their dreams can lose courage to move onto another.
The biggest challenge to a dreamer are those people who fear that a dream builds false hope, that to support or encourage would bring damage and trauma. But the immeasurable strength of a dream can be that it's someone's fuel to get up in the morning and for another to refuse that can leave one disempowered and uninspired.
It is our greatest strength and greatest gift to be part of someone's dream, at whatever stage we enter that journey I personally believe 'that' to be the stage to focus on, because if we do this right, if we focus on the now the individual will have the tools to determine the direction of their journey.
Nothing in our life is ever guaranteed but like they say in golf "100% of the shots you don't take will be sure to miss their target, some of those you do take will succeed". If we lose the confidence to take a shot at a dream we will be sure to miss our target in life. If we are supported to take a shot we will continue to play many courses, these courses will become the journey and that journey can be as rewarding as the dream itself. As John Lennon once said "life is what happens when your busy making other plans".
As the festive season dawns, let us reflect on all that made 2010 great and dream for 2011 as if the word 'can't' has been withdrawn from our vocabulary.

We stayed at HQ Guesthouse in October 2012, travelling with our three young children. Mei was extremely helpful and fast at responding to our emails in preparation. The family room we stayed in was 2 big bedrooms plus lounge and a small dining room and small kitchen! Much larger than our expectations. The beds were comfortable and clean. The apartment was in a fantastic location - walking distance to the main market street, bell tower, drum tower, shopping and restaurants. It isn't a 5-star hotel, but it is clean and functional for a family - in the best location. The staff were friendly and even did our washing for a small charge. We would recommend this and we would definately stay there again.

Flynn banking on long break to cure persistent groin woe
Paul Flynn is hoping to reap the benefits of a complete break from football that lasted three months in an effort to clear up a nagging groin problem for once and for all.
Flynn had to manage the problem for much of last season after suffering a recurrence in the league semi-final against Monaghan last April.
He had undergone corrective surgery at the beginning of 2015 but steered clear of a second operation that could have brought complications.
"I got through the year. I just had to manage my training a bit better. I needed to rest it," he reflected on a season that left him without an All-Star for the first time since 2010.
"When we finished up, I went back playing with the club and it just got worse and worse. I wasn't doing them any favours and I definitely wasn't doing myself any favours. So I gave it the rest it needed."
Flynn says he switched off to such an extent after the All-Ireland final that he struggled to find his boots in recent weeks. Some bike and pool work and upper body weights was as much exertion as he committed himself to.
Last night he faced into his first running session of the season and has targeted the Cork match in early March as a comeback date though he left the door open to face Mayo in Castlebar in just over two weeks' time.
"Second operations aren't always a good option. There can be complications with them. We feel that we may not need it," he said. "It's no different from any player. Every player has niggles. I had very few injuries over the last while," he pointed out.
"I was very lucky. It was only a matter of time really because everyone gets chronic injuries, given the way we abuse our bodies. Training affects lads that way."
Flynn disputes the view that the injury held him back in 2015 and contends himself that he played better than he did in 2011.
"I definitely didn't hit the heights last year that I hit in '14. I probably played as well, if not better, than I did in '11. It's just that your own standards are rising each year," he said.
"The first game against Longford, I didn't do too badly. The next two games I didn't score. If I'd scored the points, it would have been fine.
"But in the All-Ireland series I started getting better. Sport is a funny thing. You can come in and out of form. Some days it's on, some days it's not."
Flynn admits 2014 has been his best season since his introduction to inter-county football, a summer when he felt things came easier to him.
"I felt like every game in '14 I was, sports people talk about being in the zone, I was just comfortable, confident. Every game I felt I was going to get scores.
"Every game I felt my passes were finding the man, I was going to win the kick-outs, I was going to find myself in the right place for breaks. Everything felt like it was easy, in my own head it was easy.
"There can be times when you are playing a game when you can be constantly battling with yourself. 'I need to get on the next ball, I need to make the next pass.' In 2014 it was a flow."
If 2014 was his best season, 2015 was the most enjoyable.
"The first one was very special, but last year we just had this group and it was the best craic I ever had throughout a year, whilst working hard and having a very competitive environment.
"We were always challenged, always feeling like you have to perform in training. But when we had any training camps or any training sessions as a group we had the best craic ever. If you are enjoying your football that much, it just makes it so much easier."
He enjoys the privacy of league football, afternoons and evenings when mistakes aren't magnified as much and you can play through poor passages of form.
Dublin have won the last three leagues and Flynn has made it his business to be available for as many of those 27 games as possible.
"You get your match fitness up, you get really good competitive games against Division 1 teams. You can work through your form.
"You don't mind if you have a bad game. But you reflect on them. You can reflect on them without the world watching them."

Look, you guys, you are all here giving help + advice. You all have 100's of postings, most of them in clean, understandable language. You are an exception! Most programs/applications are wrtitten for the average person because that's where the money comes from, not from a few like you. I am sorry but that's the way it is. I do not want to put the rest down; i am simply stating the facts of life. Read some forums where they talk about all kinds of things. The language is (for me) mostly garbage and i often cannot understand a word they are trying to say. Many of them can't even write a sentence that has a beginning and an end. On top of that the general feeling is that computers solve everything or at least should. My first experience with computers was in 1966 (when?) (IBM 360) and at that time there was this GIGO principle. Garbage In, Garbage Out. It's forgotten. The computer is the new Savior. A few buttons pushed and my problems are solverd, even on the social level. And if necessary a few emoticons are put in. That's the way it is. Period. It all has to go without any effort. But once again, who is to blame for it all? Not the generation that has to learn but the one that is teaching.

I like to know, if I want to make my brain think that option is there and even though I've never touched Linux, yet it appears linux is that route.
My first version of Windows, was Windows 3.1 with DOS so I am old school, I was on the Internet when it just started on dial-up for longer then most people and yes I was on BBS before the internet, when usenet slowly took over BBS.

Windows 8 Release Preview x64
Is computing really getting "dumbed down," or is it just getting more accessible and user-friendly to the masses (simplified, easier to use, whatever) because there's a limit to how much technicality the average person is willing to put up with? I'll say it before, and I'll say it again -- if my grandmother was alive today, I'm not sure how long she would be willing to put up with the Linux command-line (I think Windows or even a Mac would suffice as far as presenting her with as much computing comprehension challenges as she'd have patience for).
|My System Specs
|03 Dec 2011
There is a reason Windows and mac OS became so popular in the first place.
...removing the need for users to understand command line is pretty much the foundation of that rise in usage
and actually brought the computer out from under the rock and made it accessible to those very people.
I will never understand exactly why linux fans are so die hard about this. Of all the fanboyism I've seen on the internet
Theirs has to be the most extreme. ...and that really is saying something.
I don't have anything against linux outside of a bit of annoyance it once caused me it seems to do it's job fairly well.
This constant insistence that it is just as easy to use as windows or even the super simplified mac os I can not support though.
It's a statement made by someone who doesn't realize how much time and effort they have put into learning the system.
Take an andriod phone for instance I just recently finally jumped on the bandwagon and got a smartphone myself.
No one had to tell me how to do anything with it. It was immediately so intuitive I only had to look up one thing (how to make the thing use the 16gig microsd I put in it instead of onboard memory)
...and even that the phone would have worked fine without.
This insistence that you only need to learn this or that to use it.
People just want to turn it on and go about their business. I know we lose sight of that especially those of us that are basically chained to a computer everyday, but we've picked up things over the years that it would be ridiculous to expect the average person to know, or to even spend that much time on. I mean god forbid they decide they have a life they need to live instead of spending weeks trying to figure out how to install a single piece of software.
No there is simple and then there is dumb. I do believe there is a difference when it comes to computers.
Simple is when there is complexity, but it's been hidden for the sake of streamlined ease of use.
Dumb is insisting someone is an idiot because they don't want to spend a year trying to figure out how to do something they could otherwise do in minutes if not seconds.

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Texas (KXAN) — A possible human case of West Nile virus is currently being investigated in Williamson County. A spokesperson for the Williamson County and Cities Health District says they are waiting for test results to come back from the Texas Department of State Health Services lab to determine if the person is infected. Due to privacy reasons, the health department can't say if the individual is a man or a woman or the person's age.
On Friday night, the city of Georgetown is doing their final spraying for mosquitoes at 9 p.m. This is after the sixth mosquito sample tested positive for West Nile this year. Ahead of Halloween, health officials want to make sure the area is safe for kids and families outside.
The effort is reassuring neighbors like Chris Graber.
"In my opinion, don't let the fear scare you away, come out, enjoy yourself," said Graber. "If you're really that concerned about it, take precautions, use bug spray, treat yourself before you go out."
Graber's family goes all out on Halloween, and had over 200 kids trick-or-treating at the house last year. They hoped to bring in an even bigger crowd this year.
"I hope they take into account the city's made reassurances that this is safe," said Graber.
His neighbor, Ronald Weinstein, is also happy the city didn't waste any time getting the neighborhood sprayed.
"I'm glad that the city responded as quickly as they did to it, to try to prevent anybody from, or at least minimizing the possibility of somebody getting bitten by the mosquitoes and getting infected," said Weinstein.
The company spraying, Vector Disease Control International, says it contains Permethrin. The National Pesticide Information Center says it's common, but dangerous to insects and cats.
The species that tested positive, Culex quinquefasciatus, also known as the Southern house mosquito, has a flight range of about a mile. The sample was collected last week in the Villages of Berry Creek neighborhood on the north side of the city. The most recent report from DSHS indicates 271 people have been infected with West Nile this year and ten have died.
A mosquito sample in Cedar Park, collected on the far eastern side of Brushy Creek Sports Park, near the intersection of Brushy Creek Road and Parmer Lane, tested positive for West Nile. The WCCHD announced the positive test on Friday.
Earlier this month a 13-year-old boy from Elgin died after contracting West Nile virus, according to his family. Cody Hopkins' mother says her son tested positive for the virus at the beginning of October and within a few days his condition worsened. Doctors told the family the child had West Nile encephalitis, which severely attacked his brain and caused severe hemorrhaging.
Preventing a bite
Mosquitoes breed in standing or stagnant water. Eliminating places where mosquitoes can breed and reducing the chances of mosquito bites are the most effective lines of defense. As part of its Fight the Bite campaign, the Health District recommends the "3 Ds" of mosquito safety.
- Drain standing water in flower pots, pet dishes, or clogged gutters so mosquitoes don't have a place to breed and treat water that can't be drained;
- Defend by using an EPA-approved insect repellent; and,
- Dress in long sleeves and pants when outdoors.
For more information, go to the WCCHD website at www.wcchd.org or visit the Texas Department of State Health Services West Nile website at www.txwestnile.org.

Volibear Build Guide by Nordbo
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue

Volibear Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey mobafire!
This is my first guide here, so "bear" with me (gotta love those puns).
I decided to make this guide because i just bought Volibear and ofcourse there's a lot of quides here on Volibear already but i just thought that i would give it a shot now that Volibear is a new champ in the league.
First of all, Volibear is very versatile, he can go ap carry, ad carry and tank,
I prefer to play Volibear as a hp focused tank, this build will give u guidelines for building a succesful ganking tank.
Have fun tanking/ganking :)
Masteries are set after own needs, i just chose the above masteries because i like him as a allround tank, these masteries arent exactly NEEEDED, but i recommend using these masteries, since i've tried loads of different setups.
As well as the masteries, the items arent extremely needed to play a succesful Volibear, but as i play him, i can kill all champs belov 40-50% hp by pushing w and clicking the enemy, because of the bonus damage (20% of bonus health is added as physical damage).
Runes are very important for all kinds of builds, Volibear is great with all kinds of setups, though i again, recommend playing him with the above runes, because ive tried all kinds of builds with him, this particular rune-set is allround tank and just secures you a good start versus all kinds of champs.
Skill Sequence
The skill sequence in this build is focused on early game kills because: Early game kills --> late game pwn.
With this sequence you will get both damage output, knockback and slow, in early game that means securing the kills!
Summoner Spells
summoner spells are based on your own preferations and needs, i chose teleport and exhaust because these 2 summoner spells can both be used to get away, and catching up to a retreating enemy.
Pros / Cons
High damage output by single skill
Gets away from every enemy
Awesome passive saves your life in every 1v1
Can catch up to any runnning chickin-like enemy
He is a violent pedobear!
Slow run speed without his Q popped
Biggest damage output has 17 sec CD

|Summary, etc.:
| The Vorrh follows a brilliant cast of characters through a parallel Africa where fact, fiction, and fantasy collide. Tsungali, a native marksman conscripted by the colonial authorities--against whom he once led a revolt--is on the hunt for an English bowman named Williams. Williams has made it his mission to become the first human to traverse the Vorrh, a vast forest at the edge of the colonial city of Essenwald. The Vorrh is endless, eternal; a place of demons and angels. Sentient, oppressive, and magical, the Vorrh can bend time and wipe a person's memory. Between the hunter and the hunted are Ishmael, a curious and noble Cyclops raised by Bakelite robots; the evil Dr. Hoffman, who punishes the son of a servant by surgically inverting his hands; and the slave owner MacLeish, who drives his workers to insanity, only to pay the ultimate price. Along with these fictional creations, Brian Catling mixes in historical figures, including surrealist Raymond Roussel and...

Stacks of sliced meats and cheeses fill the deli end of the counter at this combination meat market and barbecue shop. But customer after customer steps up to ask for the ball-tip. Buttery and lean, the meat is dotted with just a splash of barbecue sauce. Almost as good is the shredded barbecue beef sandwich messy, salty, and flavorful.

And if you're anything like us, you will be eagerly awaiting the arrival of the postman so you can get your purchases ASAP.
Naturally, we thought it would be unfair to keep our designs all to ourselves, which is why we're pleased to be able to offer delivery not only to the UK, but Worldwide too! All our deliveries are sent out via the good old Royal Mail, as we feel they are the most reliable, plus you get the choice of standard or recorded delivery (although it is worth noting that tracking is only available on packages that are sent by recorded delivery.)
Once placed, your order will be lovingly packaged and individually wrapped with care, using our own specially designed Kidult and Co black and white twine, before winging its way to you as quickly as possible; we aim to have a turnaround of 5 days or less on all orders we receive.

But now for the important bit; the numbers! Below is a guide to the different delivery options and prices we can offer, along with answers to some of the most frequently asked questions with regards to delivery costs, time frames and returns.

- If you would like to be able to track your package, then we would recommend opting for recorded delivery; this is £3.95 within the UK and can also take 2-3 working days, however, unlike standard delivery, a signature will be needed upon delivery and you'll have the option of checking online to see when you item has been delivered.

- Deliveries of orders over £50 to European countries outside of the UK will be free!
- Standard delivery to countries within Europe is £4.95 and should take 3-5 working days to reach you.

International Deliveries
- Free delivery is available to other international destinations (as if we would leave you out!) on orders of over £50.
- If you are happy to go without tracking, then standard delivery for international orders is £6.95 and can take 5-7 workings days.
- Recorded delivery costs £9.95, takes 5-7 working days, you will be able to track its progress and receive a delivery confirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are several questions that we get asked time and again from our loyal customers, so we've set them out here to try and put your mind at rest.
How long will it take for my parcel to arrive?
Once we have your completed order we aim for a turnaround of no more than 5 days, so your delivery should take up to 5 days plus the time Royal Mail gives for you chosen delivery method. However, in the case of an item taking longer than expected, please allow an extra 3 days before getting in touch to query its location. We will of course do our utmost to solve any issues that may arise as quickly as possible.
Can I track my parcel?
If you have selected recorded delivery, then you will be able to track your parcel. Once the package has been posted you will receive an email with your tracking code, allowing you to keep a close eye on your purchase and receive a confirmation once it has reached its destination.
Do you offer free delivery?
Yes! Free delivery is available on orders that are over a certain amount for the UK and Worldwide; please see above for the specified amounts, as these vary depending on where in the world it is being delivered to.
Do you offer free returns?
We can only offer a free return if an item you have received has a fault; in this situation your return postage will be refunded once the item has been returned to us. In all other situations, unfortunately we are unable to offer free returns, although returning parcels to us from within the UK will only cost £2.95.

Rain and Wind have pounded Washington and Oregon
SEATTLE (AP) — Rain and wind have pounded Washington and Oregon, flooding streets, toppling large trucks, cutting power to more than 20,000 people, and causing at least one death. Flood warnings have been issued for a handful of western Washington rivers, with moderate flooding expected today along the Chehalis River in the Centralia, Wash., area. Nearly 2 inches of rain fell in six hours yesterday in one Seattle neighborhood — a total that Seattle Public Utilities meteorologist James Rufo-Hill called "extraordinary."

An autopsy revealed Antley had died from a mix of prescription drugs and methamphetamine. Because Antley had visible head wounds, police first suspected he may have been murdered. Further investigation revealed that Antley may have bumped his head during a drug-induced stupor and died from an overdose. A coroner determined the head injuries were not fatal.
Two men pleaded guilty Friday to breaking into the house of late jockey Chris Antley, who died last month from an accidental drug overdose.Antley's friend, Timothy Tyler Jr., 24, and Jeffrey Robert Jones, 22, pleaded guilty to a reduced misdemeanor charge of trespassing. Both men were arrested on Jan. 11 when they attempted to enter Antley's home in Pasadena. They were charged with one count of first-degree residential burglary but because no one was living in the house at the time, the felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, said Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Herbert Lapin. "We couldn't prove the felony," he said. Tyler was sentenced to six months in county jail but he opted to serve that time at a drug treatment program. Jones was sentenced to 90 days in jail and placed on one year probation. Both men were also ordered by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Judson Morris Jr. to never return to Antley's house.Tyler periodically lived with Antley, a two-time Kentucky Derby winner. He was told by police not to enter the house and retrieve some of his belongings after Antley was found dead last month. Tyler had apparently waited long enough and went to the house where he took some of his items but also stole some valuables. "Those valuables amounted to less than $200," Lapin said.Tyler was also arrested Dec. 3, the day after Antley died, on three outstanding arrest warrants. He and Antley had been picked up Sept. 28, 2000 by police for possession of illegal drugs.

Prue McKeel's life is ordinary. At least until her brother is abducted by a murder of crows and taken to the Impassable Wilderness, a dense, tangled forest on the edge of Portland. No one's ever gone in – or at least returned to tell of it.
So begins an adventure that will take Prue and her friend, Curtis, deep into the Impassable Wilderness. There they uncover a secret world in the midst of violent upheaval - a world full of warring creatures, peaceable mystics, and powerful figures with the darkest intentions. And what begins as a rescue mission becomes something much greater, as the two friends find themselves entwined in a struggle for the very freedom of this wilderness. A wilderness the locals call Wildwood.
Wildwood is a spellbinding tale full of wonder, danger, and magic that juxtaposes the thrill of a secret world and modern city life. Original and fresh yet steeped in classic fantasy, this is a novel could have only come from the imagination of Colin Meloy, celebrated for his inventive and fantastic storytelling as the lead singer of the Decemberists. Wildwood is truly a new classic for the 21st century.

Colin Meloy please narrate
Amanda Plummer's performance is slightly clumsy and distracts from the story. Characters are made to seem cartoonish and lack realism with her voice. Colin Meloy does an excellent job on the second book and the story just flows. I would highly recommend a second version of the first book with Colin as narrator, and I would purchase the audiobook again to have the superior performance.

I think I would prefer the print this time

Secularists biggest hurdle for Ram temple: Singhal
The VHP leader said Allahabad HC decision has further strengthened the confidence of Hindus as Lord Ram has always brought people together.
VHP president Ashok Singhal on Wednesday termed "so called secularists" as the biggest hurdle in construction of a grand Ram temple in Ayodhya and said if a
proposal to this effect is brought in Parliament it would get support of MPs from all political parties.
"I have full confidence that if a proposal for construction of Ram temple is brought in Parliament it will get support of MPs from all the parties and Muslim members too. The problem over the issue has been started by so called secularists," Singhal said here.
The VHP leader, who also inspected the workshop where the carving work of stones for the proposed Ram temple has recently resumed, said last year`s Allahabad High Court
decision has further strengthened the confidence of Hindus as Lord Ram has always brought people together.
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court in its judgement in the Ayodhya title suit said Hindus and Muslims are joint title holders and ruled that there be a three-way
division of the disputed land - one-third for the Sunni Waqf Board, one-third for the Nirmohi Akhara and one-third to the party for `Ram Lalla`.
Singhal also criticised Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for stating that Muslims have the first right over the country and termed it as vote bank politics.
This trend would not help anyone and eventually prove to be harmful for the country, he said adding that Ram temple movement has changed the politics of the country.

Limiting / Ranging values during calculation
Hello everyone,
Is there any function in openfoam to limit a value (density, x-velocity, y-velocity, pressure, ...) with upper and lower value at each iteration ?
I am thinking about something like the "Solution Control" + "Limits" that we can find in Fluent.
I am using the rhoPimpleFoam solver now. In my point of view, if I add a cell loop after the "solve", it will only patch the solution after all the iteration of the time step, right ?
Thank you in advance.
For the density, there is something like this :
Edit, this is present in the "fvSolution" file

In genre Biographies
1998 | 482 Pages | ISBN: 0887407188 | scanned PDF | 81 MB
The memoirs of the legendary Skorzeny appear here in its first unabridged English edition. Skorzeny's fame began with the successful raid to free Benito Mussolini from the Gran Sasso, Italy in 1943. His elite commandos surprised Italian guards in a daring daytime raid. Hitler presented Skorzeny with the Knight's Cross for this operation. Not only is this raid explained in minute detail, many of Skorzeny's previously unknown operations in all European and Russian theatres of World War II are given in detailed accounts. Operation Griffin - the innovative use of German Kommandos dressed as American soldiers working behind enemy lines - during the Ardennes Offensive in 1944 is given in-depth coverage, as is Skorzeny's rememberances on the Malmedy massacre. Skorzeny also offers his insights into the mysterious Rudolf Hess mission to England in May 1941, and offers a behind the scenes look at German and Russian secret military intelligence, and the workings of Canaris and Gehlen.

Nxanatseni (KNP) Honours Long Service
Date: 2008-03-07
The Nxanatseni region of the Kruger National Park recently held its annual long service awards at the Shingwedzi Rest Camp. These awards are designed to honour those staff members who have given dedicated service to the South African National Parks over interval periods of 5 years (5; 10; 15; 20; 25; 30; 35)
Honoured staff members along with invited guests, managers and supervisors enjoyed a short ceremony arranged by Queeneth Mashigo (Manager, Nxanatseni Human Resources) where Mr Ben van Eeden (Regional Manager: Nxanatseni) thanked all those present for their dedicated and loyal service to the organisation and that he hoped to see many more staff achieving these noteworthy milestones in the future.
Following the official ceremony staff and guests were treated to a delicious lunch, where many well wishes were exchanged by those members who had achieved their long service awards.
The Managers and Staff of Nxanatseni Region would like to congratulate all those who received these awards at Shingwedzi and look forward to seeing the staff thrive in the future and to continue with their dedicated service.

We have entered a new urban era in which the ecology of the planet is increasingly influenced by human activity. Due to increasing urbanisation, cities have become the center of attention, as they generate a rising demand for natural resources and have a global environmental impact. This URBES fact sheet explains the importance of understanding the relationship between people and nature in urban planning and decision making in order to achieve urban resilience and sustainability.
Urbanisation puts increasing pressure on nature, and weakens its resilience to a changing climate and events such as natural disasters, with devastating consequences for cities and their inhabitants. With the recent memories of hurricanes Sandy and Haiyan, floods in England and Wales, urban heat waves and air pollution, in addition to increasing costs of energy, food and water supply, cities and urbanized regions are aware of the urgent need for action.
Many cities have seen an increase in community initiatives for restoring nature and have supported sustainable activities. There is now an opportunity to strongly improve global sustainable development over the next two to three decades by increasing resource efficiency, and exploring how cities and citizens can reconnect to the biosphere and become responsible stewards of biodiversity and ecosystem services, both within and beyond city boundaries.

North Creek
Active Subwoofer
A dedicated powered subwoofer for mid-sized listening rooms
Discontinued, here for archive only
The Thunder
Conceived of as a mini-tower style subwoofer that can be used either as a stand or in stacks, the Thunder subwoofer is build around the spectacular Peerless XLS-12 woofer, XLS passive radiator, and the North Creek 250 Watt dedicated subwoofer amplifier.
The Peerless XLS-12 is ruggedly built, with a cast aluminum frame, stacked double-magnet motor, paper cone and rubber surround. Both the cone and voice coil are vented to facilitate cooling, and the pole is extended well above the top plate to keep cone motion linear and prevent gap jump. The cone is capable of 24mm peak-to-peak excursion.
The XLS-12 passive radiator is built on an identical platform and is capable of over 30mm of peak-peak excursion.
The core of the system is the North Creek Dedicated Subwoofer Amplifier. It is a discrete 250 Watt class AB amp designed with 6dB of bass boost at 23 Hz and an integral third order roll off below 20 Hz. The amplifier also has discrete phase and low pass frequency selections, which are precise and much better sounding than the continuously variable adjustments one finds on most subwoofer amplifiers. Stereo and mono inputs are provided for low-level (via gold-plated RCA's) and high level (via heavy duty gold plated binding posts). The North Creek Dedicated Subwoofer Amplifier is the only plate amp on the market that surpasses all of the DST/Peerless performance requirements.
The Thunder cabinet has a net internal volume of 35 liters (overall internal volume is 41 liters). Ladder bracing is employed to stiffen the side walls, while the front and back are a double-thick MDF/Plywood laminate. The cabinet is extremely stiff and weighs in at a hefty 48 pounds.
Thunder Normalized Amplitide Response
This system was designed to reproduce the deepest bass with authority. By carefully optimizing the box volume to perfectly match the passive radiator tuning and amplifier bass boost, the Thunder has flat response down to 20 Hz. Furthermore, the even at its maximum of 250 Watts, the amplifier can not overdrive the XLS-12 woofer. Because the amplifier has 6dB of boost at 23 Hz and a built in third order high pass filter below 20 Hz, the passive radiator is about one third lighter than would be required by an unassisted alignment, while at extreme low frequencies both the passive radiator and woofer are protected from overexcursion.
Thunder Cone Displacement
The Thunder can reproduce bass down to 20 Hz at 105dB and do so cleanly.
North Creek Thunder Subwoofer Kit
Includes the Peerless XLS-12 subwoofer driver and XLS-12 passive Radiator, North 250-Watt Dedicated Subwoofer Amplifier, connectors, genuine DuPont Dacron stuffing, grill fasteners, all required screws, North Creek Big Toe spikes, gasket tape, power chords, etc. Everything except the wood.
Discontinued, here for archive only
Designers Notes
I originally undertook this design after reading the Peerless Application Notes on the DST web site. This is good reading for anyone considering building a serious subwoofer. The link is under "Engineering".
The Peerless engineer's goal was to build a woofer that when used in a correctly sized cabinet with a port or passive radiator, could achieve 105dB of SPL at 25 Hz without destroying or overheating the driver. The Peerless engineer came up with an alignment for their XLS-12 woofer and 625-gm passive radiator in a 35 liter box that achieved this goal. The trade offs for this simulated system is that it would be low in efficiency (requiring over 300 watts of amplifier power, beyond the thermal limit of the woofer), that the passive radiator - with a cone of nearly a pound and a half - would be slow, that the suspension may be liable to warp over time, and that some sort of external filter was required to prevent the system from going out of control from any input below 20 Hz.
The DST simulations were done with HT Audio's very powerful "Bass Box Pro" software, and excellent simulation package. Two limitations of this software are that it does not allow the user to specify parameters of an external filter when used with a passive radiator system, nor can the user specify the exact frequency response contour of an external filter when used with a vented box system. This made simulations difficult as the North Creek Dedicated Subwoofer Amplifier does not fit any of their models. None the less, after working with the software for some time, routes around these issues were discovered and it became possible to apply our amplifier to the simulation and come up with a superior system.
The problem with the original Peerless simulation is that the tuning was so low that the passive radiator became too heavy to be well controlled, and so much amplifier power was required that the driver became at risk. Because the North Creek Dedicated Subwoofer Amplifier has 6dB of bass boost at 23 Hz and a third order roll off below 20 Hz, we were able to use a much lighter passive radiator and a slightly larger cabinet to get flat frequency response to 20 Hz, while still keeping both the woofer and passive radiator below their excursion limits. We were also able to get higher SPL with less amplifier power, which keeps the woofer within its thermal envelope. The key was to perfectly balance the bass boost, box volume and passive radiator tuning in order to protect the woofer. The third order roll off below 20 Hz is critical in keeping the system stable.
A simulation is not reality. I was a little apprehensive when building the prototype that I may have made an error circumventing the HT Audio software, and would be spending the near future blowing up $150 woofers. Most 12" woofers would not be stable under these excursions, regardless of what the software implies. The Peerless XLS-12 is better than most because its pole piece is extended beyond the forward excursion limit, and should be stable even at 250 Watts.
When all was said and done the system worked beautifully. The bass is in unbelievably powerful, deep and clean even at the highest SPL's, and conveys a wealth of texture and subtlety. This is THE SUB for individuals who love deep bass loud and clear.

Owners' Comments
Good Morning,
You may recall I purchased a pair of Thunder Kits a few months ago. We had a few conversations about construction. I've been remiss in not getting back to you to let you know how they turned out. In a word, superb! I even managed to veneer them using simple hand tools and advice from a web site I found (woodmiser or something like that). They look great.
More important the sound is awesome. They go deeper and subjectively sound much smoother and more articulate than my single _____ Sub Two that I was so pleased with for 4 or 5 years.
I couldn't be happier with these beauties. I'll get a picture to you as soon as I can.
Thanks again for another amazing product.
Joseph B., CT
The Thunders are finished and looking good. They sound good too. My son helped my build them and his comment was "I thought they would be louder than that". I guess a life time spent listening to booming car audio has ruined him because when we put the sound pressure meter on the test tone from the receiver, the subs were a full 6db louder than the mains after we set the levels listening to some metal CD of his. I have since reset those levels!
I am listening to "Supertramp - Crime of the Century" as we speak and those low rips on the fretless bass rock the house. A door slamming in a movie yields a visceral "punch in the gut" sensation. I am going to have to fix the closet door which buzzes in resonance during the flight deck scene of "Top Gun"....
Here is a pic taken before I rub out the ribbon mahogany finish a few weeks from now. When I do that and do a final clean up, I will send another. Note that I made front and back fascia's and out set them as shown in pics on your web site. I held the interior volume to with 0.5% of the original. The idea was to create a standard "look" for future N.C. speaker projects...
Hi George!
I have finished my work on Thunder Subwoofer speaker following your plans.
Now I want to thank you. My English is not enough good for describing, how happy I am. It's absolutely the best home bass sound I ever heard. It's so natural deep and clear, unbelievable :-)
The source of power for my speaker is my self build amplifier with about 600W RMS@6ohm (220V)
The cabinet has clear internal volume of 38 liters ant it works perfectly.
Here is a photo of my speaker and I am proud of this part of my home theater.
Thank you again
Sincerely yours
Ing. Petr

I've been enjoying my Thunder kit for almost a year now and am ecstatic about the performance. My friends and family are really impressed!! My only wish is that I built 2 at the same time. Once I build up the CM-77's I will see about adding another.
Jeffrey S., CT
Hi George:
I thought I would share a few words about my initial listening session with the Thunder sub.
First of all, It is gorgeous as you said. No let down there. The wood working is excellent.
Since my intended use for home theatre is not complete my initial listen was in my 2 channel system.
It is bi amped with an active digital crossover so flexibility with the woofers is easy.
I disabled my woofer section entirely, (which consists of 4 (2 per side) 10" Focal woofers in 5 cubic foot ported boxes).
My woofer section plays deep and loud and has always kept me happy.
The Thunder alone played up to 140 hz and gave way to a 7" Kevlar Focal midrange and a Dynaudio D-260 Tweeter.
The bass in this configuration was amazing. Rivaling the output of my 4 focal woofers.
While not providing quite as much slam (understandable given the differences between systems including there intended purpose), the deep bass (lower octave or 2) was considerably smoother, cleaner, and just plain better.
The Thunder truly delivers deep, clean bass as it is intended.
And after going back and forth comparing it to my reference set up several times, I added the spikes.
After adding the spikes I listened to CD after CD for 2 or 3 hours and never switched back for comparison once.
I just listened to all my favorites with only the Thunder playing the bass.
Well done!
Everything I have ever purchased from you, crossover parts, drivers, or whatever has been top notch!
Thank you!
I wish I could afford those matching Manifest demos you have. They must be georgeous too!!
And they probably don't sound too bad either, huh?

Biggest tench brace of 2013
OVER a decade of hard work and dedication paid off for Stewart Moss when he banked the biggest tench brace of 2013 with these huge fish topping the scales at 11lb 3oz and 9lb 15oz.
After arriving at a local Oxfordshire gravel pit to find that all of the best swims were already taken, he decided to target an un-favoured, featureless area that was choked with thick weed rising over 3 feet off the lakebed.
While many anglers might have been put off by such conditions, Stewart spent the next two hours out in a boat hauling up huge amounts of weed to clear a spot big enough to accommodate his two maggot feeder rigs.
After finally setting his trap over the top of a bed of hemp the Drennan International employee was woken at 4.45am by a screaming take that ended in the capture of a fish that was just 1oz short of the double figure mark – a target he'd been trying to reach for years.
But just a few minutes after re-casting his helicopter rig - made from 10lb mainline, an ESP Soft Ghost fluorocarbon hooklink and a size 14 hook - he connected with his new personal best.
"I must admit that I almost felt like going home as the last thing I really wanted to be doing after work on Friday was getting soaked head to toe while spending hours raking out seemingly endless piles of weed," Stewart told Angling Times.
"But all of my hard work not only cleared a spot for me but it created huge clouds of silt to puff up off the bottom, which I thought would attract any fish that were pushing their way through the maze of weed."
Stewart's hookbait consisted of three hair-rigged imitation casters and two live maggots soaked in Nash strawberry flavouring directly on the hook.
"I put a lot of hard work and effort into my fishing and I've had my fair share of hard-times and many blanks sessions. The fact that it's taken me this long to finally achieve my goal makes this capture taste all the more sweeter," he added.

A mechanical arm comes down and seems to be scanning the CRUXITE TOTEM. The ALCHEMITER buzzes and something suddenly appears on the big platform. A huge, pale blue set of blocks stapled on one another in groups. To someone who often performs parkour, they are sure tempting to climb. Only someone skilled in jumping and climbing could probably reach the top block...

Matt Bellamy
January 12, 2011 by Post Team
Matt Bellamy, Just days after actor Owen Wilson has revealed that he and his girlfriend Jade Duell expecting a child together, the ex-girlfriend Kate Hudson comedy has also announced she is expecting a child!
Kate Hudson is expecting a baby with her rocker boyfriend Matt Bellamy, but the couple did not confirm the news yet. The 31-year-old actress said in her third month of pregnancy, or its second quarter.
Hudson and her boyfriend, who have been dating for over nine months, were enthusiastic about the news. A source told U.S. magazine: "It was not planned, but they are excited and kiss."
Kate Hudson to the growing list of Hollywood stars pregnant.
According to reports, the daughter of Goldie and Kurt is 14 weeks pregnant with her second child. Dad? Her boyfriend Matt Bellamy, Muse frontman. "Kate is really happy," a source told U.S. magazine. "She was always very happy to have children again at some point."
The couple began dating last summer, the source said, "could not be happier" of the situation.
Of course, Hudson was married with a son, Ryder, 7, with The Black Crowes front man Chris Robinson. Robinson has since remarried and he and his third wife, Allison Bridges, welcomed a daughter, Cheyenne, on Dec. 26, 2009.
Hudson, whose pal Rachel Zoe is waiting (she revealed yesterday that she is a boy), told People magazine in 2007 "You realize after you've had children that you will never more than the love of your child. "No word yet on whether she and Bellamy have plans to marry.
When she was pregnant with Ryder famous Hudson won 60-70 pounds. As she says vogue at the time, "I would be eating ice cream and my mother would literally pull the spoon away from me, saying:" You have enough to last a lifetime. "It will be interesting to see how things unfold the second time.
