Abstract: One of the most visible forms of unemployment is the men who stand at the side of the road or on corners daily, waiting for any job that may come their way. It is estimated that there are nearly 1,000 places in South Africa where a minimum of about 45,000, mostly black African men, stand, waiting to be picked up. The South African space economy is characterised by an uneven distribution of economic activities. International empirical studies have shown that there is a geographical or spatial coincidence between levels of unemployment and levels of gross domestic product per capita. The first objective of this article is to highlight some of the basic demographic dynamics of day labourers. The second is to investigate the spatial distribution of and the relationship between day labourers, unemployment and the general level of socio-economic development in South Africa. Day labourers share a number of common characteristics, but there were also obvious differences in their morale and spirit. The analyses showed that there is also a general spatial coincidence between levels of socio-economic development and the numbers of day labourers in South Africa, with a relatively high correlation coefficient between the two.

Abstract: The process of community-based co-design is one that explores various solution configurations in a multi-dimensional design space whose axes are the different dimensions of requirements and the various dimensions of designer skills and technological capabilities. The bits of this space that one can 'see' are determined by one's knowledge of the user needs and one's own skills. Co-design is a way of exploring that space in a way that alleviates the myopia of one's own viewpoint and bias. As one traverses this space one traces a trajectory according to one's skills and learning and according to the users' expressed requirements and their learning.

Abstract: Introduction: This special issue of Kronos: Southern African Histories speaks to this imbalance, contributing in small measure to a recent turn in Cold War studies that has sought to incorporate regional perspectives found in area studies to readdress the parameters and politics of this extended period. Departing from the influential early work of scholars like John Lewis Gaddis – who helped to define the field of Cold War history in books such as The United States and the Origins of the Cold War, 1941-1947 (1972) and Strategies of Containment: A Critical Appraisal of Postwar American National Security Policy (1982) – scholarship published over the past two decades has reached beyond an exclusive American-Soviet dynamic and a 'great men' approach to history – whether Stalin or Eisenhower, among other leaders – to consider the role of social movements and popular trends, the factor of identity politics such as racial solidarity and, perhaps most significant, a broader political geography created through the global wave of decolonization after the Second World War. This change in focus can be attributed to a generational shift, as well as the end of the Cold War itself, which has resulted in the opening of archives and research areas previously unavailable. In fact, the expansion of Cold War history and diplomatic history more generally – at least in the American academy – has generated calls for renaming the field as 'international history' in order to move Decolonization of a Special Type: Rethinking Cold War History in Southern Africa 7 attention away from nation-state interactions to examine instead patterns of social and cultural history that transcend the totalizing effect that the 'Cold War period' as such has had.

Abstract: Derrida's The Beast & the Sovereign volume I, explores the contradictory appearance of animals in political discourse. Sometimes, as he points out, political man and the sovereign state appear in the form of an animal, and at other times, as superior to animals, which he is the master of. In session two of the Seminar, the main focus of this essay, Derrida explores the 'origin' of this contradictory logic inter alia with reference to animal fables, which he contends draw on unconscious forces in their invocation of images. They pretend to make known something that cannot be the object of knowledge. In the same vein Derrida shows how Hobbes's Leviathan, and sovereignty itself, are constructed and maintained through an uncanny fear, a fear not in the first place of one's fellow man, but of the wolf within the self, that is, the drive to self-destruction. It is the repression of this wolf, Derrida suggests, which leads to the further contradictory logic (in Hobbes) of excluding both beast and God from the covenant, whilst maintaining God as the model of sovereignty. God, in other words, 'is' the beast repressed, and can therefore hardly serve as foundation of sovereignty. The self, and ultimately sovereignty, it can be said in view of Derrida's analysis, is never purely present to itself, but instead arrives at itself by way of the 'binding' of unconscious forces. Sovereignty in this way ultimately shows itself to be divisible. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/832 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Drucilla Cornell's book The Philosophy of the Limit has for a long time been an important reference point in attempting to understand the relation between deconstruction and law. This article examines some of the themes discussed by Cornell in this influential book. The article specifically evaluates the translation of Derrida's thinking into law as argued for by Cornell and concludes from this reading that Cornell to some extent misrepresents and also unnecessarily "tames" Derrida's thinking. Instead of leading to the radical transformation of law and society, Cornell's book gives support to an understanding of the relation between law and justice that is unlikely to have this effect. The article expounds a different reading of deconstruction based on a number of Derridean texts and argues that Derrida's thinking poses a more radical challenge to law than that presented by Cornell.

Worden, Nigel (Univ. of Cape Town) (Published by History Department, University of the Western Cape, 2009)[more][less]
Abstract: This article analyses two separate cases of public violence which took place in Cape Town in the summer of 1772/3. At surface level they appear to be very different in character. One was a scrap among low-ranking soldiers who were playing cards at a shoreline outpost. The other was a formalised challenge between two captains of the VOC return fleet as they were lunching with the Governor, which resulted in a death and the flight of the murderer. Yet closer analysis suggests common ritualised codes of behaviour that intriguingly reveal how violence, masculinity and notions of honour operated at all social levels within the town. Both cases were complex and coded social conflicts, rooted in northern European early modern social beliefs and practices as transferred to a colonial context. However, none of these perpetrators of violence was viewed sympathetically by the VOC authorities at the Cape. By contrast, the assailant Captain who had escaped back to Europe was able to successfully appeal to the VOC directors in the Netherlands. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/100 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In party organisational terms, the rise of Jacob Zuma to the Presidency of the African National Congress (ANC) is a victory for the alliance partners and the struggle-era vision of the ANC as a popular front, or the 'ANC as alliance', as against Mbeki's centralised and exclusionary practice. Accidentally, this renaissance of the ANC as alliance is good for democracy in South Africa understood in both liberal and participatory terms. On the one hand, the factionalism in the party provided for an alternation of leadership not possible through formal elections; and perhaps not desirable at this time. Further, the emergence of Congress of the People (COPE) promises a more meaningful party pluralism, taking the pressure for democratic competition off ANC internal processes into the future. On the other hand, the renaissance of the ANC as alliance provides better access to government by organisations, especially COSATU, who have a proven record in mobilising working and poor people around key social issues from land to HIV-AIDS and Zimbabwe. In this way the chances of greater inclusion in national decision-making are heightened, at least for some marginalised groups. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/482 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Introduction: The constitutional debate in South Africa has place the related issues of democracy and increase production and redistribution of wealth centrally on the agenda. Democratisation of the employment relationship, it will be argued, it is essential to both. At first sight there has been a certain meting of minds between employers and organised labour around this question. The demand for greater democracy in the workplace has been raised increasingly from the side of trade unions and the mass democracy movement in recent years while some employers have taken initiatives of their own to involve workers in decision-making.

Abstract: In this article the author explores Jacques Derrida's reading in 'The Purveyor of Truth' of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Purloined Letter'. In his essay, Derrida proposes a reading which differs markedly from the interpretation proposed by Lacan in his Seminar on 'The Purloined Letter'. To appreciate Derrida's reading, which is not hermeneutic-semantic in nature like that of Lacan, it is necessary to look at the relation of Derrida's essay to his other texts on psychoanalysis, more specifically insofar as the Freudian death drive is concerned. The present article explores this 'notion' as elaborated on by Freud in Beyond the Pleasure Principle as well as Derrida's reading of this text. It also investigates the importance of the 'notion' of the death drive as well as the significance of Derrida's reading of The Purloined Letter for constitutional interpretation.

Abstract: In his recent book, Law and Sacrifice: Towards a Post-Apartheid Theory of Law, Johan van der Walt gives a clear exposition of the possible impact of inter alia Jacques Derrida's thinking on law. In this article, the book is critically analyzed and it is shown that Derrida's texts provide scope for a different interpretation. With reference to a number of themes it is shown that Derrida's thinking is more far reaching than in Van der Walt's model. The unconditional for example plays a vital role in Derrida's thinking while it is almost absent in Van der Walt's model. Van der Walt stresses the need for plurality and the impossibility of reconciliation between different views of the law in a particular case. Such an approach can have conservative political consequences. A different interpretation of Derrida, where the unconditional is more prominent, holds more promise for a post-apartheid theory of law.

De Ville, Jacques (Franz Steiner Verlag, 2009)[more][less]
Abstract: In this article, the author proposes a reading of 'Force of Law' from two angles: boundless desire and the 'law' of language. The author contends that an analysis from these perspectives casts new light on the notion of the 'mystical', as well as repetition, singularity and good/evil as they appear in Derrida's text. In exploring the 'notion' of desire, the article focuses specifically on Derrida's analysis of Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle in To Speculate – On Freud where the death drive is explored. The author shows the importance of this essay for an understanding of the relation between justice and law. The mystical and justice, the author contends, is to be understood with reference to the death drive, and repetition or law enforcement as its return. Law enforcement could also be viewed in terms of the 'notion' of iterability in Derrida's texts on language. These perspectives furthermore allow for an understanding of singularity in terms of unconditionality and of justice as beyond good and evil.

Abstract: Possible deviations from linearity of the Large Magellanic Cloud Cepheid period–luminosity (PL) and period–luminosity–colour (PLC) relations are investigated. Two data sets are studied, respectively from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) and MACHO projects. A non-parametric test, based on linear regression residuals, suggests that neither PL relation is linear. If colour dependence is allowed for, then the MACHO PL relation is found to deviate more significantly from the linear, while the OGLE PL relation is consistent with linearity. These findings are confirmed by fitting 'Generalized Additive Models' (non-parametric regression functions) to the two data sets. Colour dependence is shown to be non-linear in both data sets, distinctly so in the case of the MACHO Cepheids. It is also shown that there is interaction between the period and the colour functions in the MACHO data. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/806 Files in this item: 1

Composed of an sdB star and a much cooler companion, with a period near 0.1104 days, this system is very similar to the prototype sdB eclipsing binary HW Vir. The new observations show that the binary period of NSVS 14256825 is rapidly increasing at a rate of about 12 × 10−12 days orbit−1. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10566/891 Files in this item: 1

The hydraulic jack plate is one of the most mis-understood items aboard many bay and flats boats. Many people see them and think about draft, draft, and draft, but truth be told, there's a lot more to this story.
While the concept is simple – raise the outboard without tilting it – many people think a jack plate will allow them to get into 6″ of water with a boat that has 9″ of draft. And truth be told, this is initially true; a jack plate can be used to reduce draft by an inch or two while running, since it allows you to raise the drive slightly higher than you'd be able to tilt it without blowing out the prop. There's just one problem: as soon as you stop in that shallow water, you'll be stuck there. Your boat's static draft is usually several inches more than its running draft, and even if the keel is still off the bottom, you won't be able to pop onto plane with the drive unit raised up as high as the bottom of your boat (in most cases – tunnel hulls can be an exception).
Okay, so the draft you save comes only while on plane – this is still a good perk, since you can run over shallow flats to get to deeper waters, where you'll find fish and then later be able to hop back onto plane and skim the surface to freedom. But for most of us, the cost of a jack plate may well out-weigh this lone benefit. Wait a sec – this is only a small part of the story. By being able to adjust drive height without tilting the engine, you can see a significant speed and efficiency boost. You also get a performance boost since the jack plate moves the engine several inches aft of the transom, which often improves the boat's balance and natural trim angle. In fact, jack plates were used by racers and speed demons long before anyone tried using them to reduce draft.
Just how much speed and efficiency will you gain by adding a jack plate? That depends on the type of boat you run, its hull design, running draft, and a host of other factors. But the bottom line is this: the advanatges you'll gain with a jack plate go far beyond mere running draft and on most bay and flats boats, once you've tried using one, you'll never again want to run without a jack on the back.

Buying American San Francisco subway system -- become the very first transit agency in the nation.
To adopt that policy as it upgrades its aging fleet of rail cars but.
Some are saying the pro jobs approach could have a big downside body count is live in San Francisco Claudia Bart bay area rapid transit.
Appears to be blazing a new economic trail.
Well they could be -- that's right Greg good morning bay area rapid transit or -- as it's known is the nation's first transit agency to give preferential consideration.
To companies that manufacture most of their trains in the U west it's a move that makes the agency eligible for federal funds.
Now part is replacing nearly 800 trains which are among the oldest in the country with the so called fleet of the future made in the US.
The agency spending three billion dollars to do it more than it might cost to buy these trains.
If they're manufactured overseas but -- president says it's worth it.
It's our commitment not only to use the patrons -- -- but also to our fellow Americans.
And then a recovery towards the recovery of this recession do everything that we can to help the economy.
And put -- Americans are unemployed back to work.
Ironically bar is looking at 34 and train makers all with assembly plant in the eastern United States.
The one that uses the most American -- components from engine parts to seat cushions will stand a better chance of winning the lucrative -- Greg.
You know I rode Bart last year when I was out there and I thought you were really nice and injurious and -- and -- they're gonna replace them already at three billion dollars that's a load of money.
It has a lot about -- I think you actually I got lucky and -- on a pretty nice new car actually all the seat cushions were recently replaced and that please stop a lot of the 370000.
Who take part every day but it is a lot of money Greg and proof that doing business in -- in America isn't always cheap.
And one economist we spoke -- thinks that Bart passengers will get hit with higher fares.
They already admitted in their paperwork that the -- is going to be five to 10% greater as a result of this.
Process -- by American process.
That would've been otherwise almost always have to come from somewhere and most likely they're gonna come from the writers.

A simple mission involving a police car, and some Ravagers, and a crash. Very very quick mission. One of my own favorites, it always makes me smile.

I played the conduit community series several times and enjoyed them very much. This is really some good work. Well done. Makes me wish I was better at writing narratives.

I played plinko quite a few times. I didn't do so well.
You always come up with cool ideas. Just a thought, but maybe use volumes instead of rings so you can let the player know if they have won and enable the try again feature if they lose.

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying my work! I put a lot of hours and thought into my stories. I get a lot of inspiration for narratives from other people here like rasendory10 and modest-genius.

Put my name in the search bar and play these missions or search for them individualy (These are the missions I am most proud of):
NOTE: The priority goes to "The Final Chapter". It took me 20+ hours to perfect it. Play this first. Also please don't rate until you play through both sides (evil and good).

Here are 2 of my levels you should play:
This idea is from Wade13x's Flying Machine level, but I improved it and made it a lot simpler. This is a whole new vehicle that's small, easy to use, and doesn't use draining to control it. The objective is to get through all the rings (with the vehicle). Enjoy!
Cole and Zeke are trying to find the lost treasure, which was stolen by someone... Help them!
The first one isn't a remix of WADE13x's level, it's a whole different thing (Just the idea is the same).

A person accused of a crime in Orange County or Los Angeles, has many difficult choices to make.
Prosecutors in Orange County and Los Angeles have the resources no individual can match. Orange County prosecutors have their own investigators, Orange County expert witnesses on staff, the California Highway Patrol, various Los Angeles Police Departments, the Orange County Sheriffs' Departments, the Department of Motor Vehicles Driver Safety Offices which both have offices throughout Los Angeles, the Attorney General's Office, and many other public agencies throughout OC. Orange County prosecutors can access virtually any resource they require to fight any DUI or Criminal Case.
As a private party, if you stand accused, you have nothing but your own hard-earned savings to use to mount your Los Angeles Criminal or DUI defense. From the moment an individual falls under the government's suspicion, this difference in resources places the accused person at a significant disadvantage against the Los Angeles prosecutors. Only the wisest use of your resources has the potential to level the field with the Orange County Prosecutors. Experience has shown that hiring counsel as early as possible in the legal process is the wisest choice an accused person can make whether in Los Angeles or Orange County.
DUI Partners lawyers aim to narrow the gap by fellow members of The Private Defenders of California, with a supportive network of Criminal Defense attorneys with varied experiences, areas of expertise, perspectives, experience and resources that can be collectively used to greatly increase the quality of services our Santa Ana and Los Angeles DUI Specialists provide.
Some of our services include:
Aggressive defense of DMV hearings by a DUI Specialist, DUI's or Drunk Driving Cases (read the McNeal Case), whether based on breath tests or blood tests and all Criminal Cases including Murder and Watson Murder Cases defended by a DUI Specialist, and related crimes in Fullerton, Los Angeles, & Santa Ana as well as White Collar crimes including Embezzlement.
When you retain DUI Partners, you know you are receiving the resources of a network of attorneys committed to the Defense of the accused. Many times, the evidence is actually circumstantial evidence which must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, a common loophole that prosecutors use.

Since today is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day, I figured I'd go ahead and whip up a batch for myself. I thought about making a traditional peanut butter cookie, but I don't really know how to leave a good thing alone and decided that it needed some tweaking. After all, everything tastes better when Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are involved, right? Right! So I headed to the kitchen and made a cookie concoction. To see the ups and downs in creating my own peanut butter cookie recipe, read more
First of all, I'm going to fess up and say that the cookies came out a bit dry and lacked a great peanut butter flavor. However that is definitely because of the peanut butter I used. I opted for an organic, all-natural peanut butter that did not bring nearly enough oil/fat or flavor to the party. If I was going to make this particular recipe again, I would definitely opt for something like Skippy or Jif. You know, something high in fat, sugar and flavor. After all, who was I kidding? I was adding an entire bag of Reese's PB Cups to this dessert, it's not like I was going for the healthy option!
Peanut Butter Cookies
From YumSugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (I'd recommend a
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
8 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - pulverized to a paste
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup of chopped peanut butter cups (7-8)
1 cup of chocolate chunks
Note: One bag of Reese's PB Cups contains about 15, use them all.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a medium sized bowl sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
- In a large bowl (or mixer) put butter and peanut butter. Cream together.
- Add brown sugar and pulverized PB cups. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, blending slowly until mixed.
- Add vanilla.
- In three batches, add flour mixture on low speed until blended.
- Add chopped pb cups and chocolate chunks. Mix thoroughly.
- Decide which size you want to make, I ended up doing it three ways.
- Using a large ice scream scoop, make round portions of dough, flatten slightly and use tines of fork to create design. Bake on cookie sheet with parchment paper or silpat for about 17 minutes or until just beginning to brown.
- Using your hands, make small 1-2" balls. Flatten slightly with fork (design with fork also). Bake on cookie sheet with parchment paper or silpat for about 13 minutes or until just beginning to brown.
- Using your hands or a spoon, make small 1" balls, flatten them with the back of you hand, decorate with fork tines. Bake on cookie sheet with parchment paper or silpat for about 11 minutes or until just beginning to brown.
- Remove from oven and cool on sheet for 2 minutes.
- Transfer to cooling rack. Store in airtight container.

Customizing SMF > Portals, Bridges, and Integrations
Problem integrating SMF based on Wiki
Yes, the default theme is working perfectly fine.
Indeed, that has been reported quite often. Unfortunately, as far as I understand, the issue is not specific and the error doesn't state more then "there is something missing that's needed". That's why I tried to report everything I did.
I assume that the issue lies in the index.template.html as I've tried the one attached to the old version of the guide (here) and with this I was able to include content. I can't use this, though, as it's the index of SMF 1.1.x.
Just had a thought...
We often miss the obvious.
Are all the files in the theme's directory read-enabled?
Another one:
When you uploaded the files, did you use Filezilla, by any chance?
If so, was the "Transfer type" set to "binary", NOT "auto", which is the default?
That can break some files, unfortunately.
Yes, I've used Filezilla in Auto-Mode. Now that you've informed me, I changed the settings, downloaded a working index.template.html, customized it and uploaded it into the theme-folder.
I also made sure that the theme folder has the same owner / group and permissions as the working default folder.
Still, I receive the same error message.
I have a tiny update regarding my problem:
I went through the whole process with a new theme and the error starts to occur once I do the SQL Replacement:
--- Code: --- REPLACE INTO yourprefix_themes
(ID_THEME, variable, value)
VALUES (that number, 'theme_layers', 'site,main');
--- End code ---
Of course I replaced the placeholders with the actual values.
Ok, I have found the mistake. Once I realized that the SQL modification is causing the problem it was pretty easy.
All you have to do to resolve the issue is adding "site,body" into the SQL table. So the SQL should be:
--- Code: --- REPLACE INTO yourprefix_themes
(ID_THEME, variable, value)
VALUES (that number, 'theme_layers', 'site,body');
--- End code ---
I really don't understand why the wiki demands to add "main" instead of "body" but I suppose it's due to some template changes within an update.
Thanks for your support, K@!

Recipe by MakeItHealthy
"Blueberries are both healthy and great tasting. I altered this original recipe by adding a bunch of them, along with some dried cranberries and some yogurt for butter. They are still big and chewy and super yummy but healthier as well."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup dried cranberries
I tried the recipe exactly as written did not care for them at all, what a waste :(
These cookies were fantastic! I just used 1 cup raisins and 1 cup chocolate chips (All I had). Also used 200 grams cherry fat free yogurt (2 single serving size containers).The cherry flavour went very well with the chocolate :).

"W. Bellairs, Col."-Man of Mystery |
Martin Everett
My notes
BELLAIRS, William, Colonel, C.B. (1828-1913). A Staff Officer to Lord Chelmsford during the Anglo-Zulu War. Born in Honfleur, Normandy in France, the son of Sir William Bellairs, of Mulburton Norfolk, who had served in the Peninsular War and at Waterloo (1815) with the 15th Kings Hussars. William joined the army in May 1846 and fought through the Crimea War as Adjutant of the 49th (Berkshire) Foot, being present at the Alma and Inkerman. He saw further service in the West Indies, Ireland and Gibraltar, then took part in the Ninth Frontier War - 1877-78, and in the Anglo-Zulu War (1879) as Deputy-Adjutant and Quartermaster-General. As Colonel he commanded the force left in camp during the Battle of Ulundi. Later, he also acted in various civil capacities. During the subsequent First Anglo-Boer War, Brigadier-General Bellairs commanded the British garrison at Pretoria. After the departure of Sir Owen Lanyon, he was appointed Administrator of the Transvaal (April-August 1881). In 1885 a book entitled The Transvaal War 1880-81 was published under his wifes name. As Lady Bellairs was not in the Transvaal during this period, it is assumed to be his work. He was appointed a K.C.M.G. in 1882. He retired from the army as a lieutenant-general in 1887, but was later Colonel The Sherwood Foresters (1902-05) and The Berkshire Regiment (1905-13). He died at Clevedon in Somerset. |

Most detailed books on the AZW cover his activities. He was the subject of a contemporary (and disrespectful) little ditty involving a play on words with his surname, but for the life of me I just can't remember this morning how it goes. Anyone else remember it, or where it is recorded? Peter |
Thank you both, Peter and Martin. I acquired a small pamphlet dated September 1878 entitled "Regulations for the Movement and Operations of Mounted Rifles" published in Cape Town and written by "Col. W. Bellairs, DAG". I now gather the letters stand for Deputy Adjutant General. Two mysteries solved! Handwritten on the cover (in VERY stylized script) is what appears to be "Paul A. Herbert 28/4/79 Durban Natal". As we have pretty meager resources available over here in "The States", might anyone suggest where I could go to find the roles of the various mounted units in the AZW? It would be easy to conjecture that the particular unit I'm interested in would be the Durban Mounted Rifles, but that assumption would be based on pretty slim evidence. Oddly, it somehow found its way to the US and I imagine that that's an interesting story in itself
John Young
There's no Paul A. Herbert on the 1877-8-9 Medal Roll, you might want to have another try at the handwriting.
Don't forget that D'Urban was a port of entry for the campaign. John Y. |
Thank you John. Even with further scrutiny, it still appears to be "Paul A. Herbert". If a unit neither entered Zululand nor took part in any of the fighting as is the case with the Durban Mounted Rifles, who apparently went no further than Potspruit (still well within Natal), would they still be entitled to a campaign medal? I offer the DMR as an example only because it's the first that comes to mind, not because it's any more or less likely to be germane.
John Young
The Durban Mounted Rifles were assigned to Pearson's No. 1 Column for the invasion. They did cross the Tugela with the column. On 22nd January 1879 they missed the Battle of Nyezane, as they were assigned to escort duty. On reaching Eshowe, three of their number elected to remain with the besieged garrison, rather than return to Natal. Ten members of the D.M.R. served with the Natal Volunteer Guides and were present at the Battle of Gingindlovu. One officer and thirty other-ranks of D.M.R. also took part in a raid across the Tugela's Middle Drift on 30th May 1879. I do have some other material on the D.M.R., sadly it is on a file which Vista can't open I'm afraid. But as you can see a number of them would have been entitled to 1879 bar. I'll check another archive and see if I can find anything on Herbert. John Y. |
Keith Smith
You might like to check a book called The Armed Forces of South Africa 1659 - 1954, by Major G. Tylden. Copies are often available through Abebooks. This will give you a lot of information on the many units concerned, although their connection with Bellairs is hard to fathom. As DAG he was also responsible for the publication of Local General Orders - see my own publication. KIS |
Michael Boyle
Rather slow at work tonight so I may as well throw in a few items I've come across lately.
Bellairs vacated D.A.Q-G on 6 March 1880 and actually replaced Sir Henry Bulwer (upon Sir Henry's retirement as Lieutenant Governor of Natal) from 20 April 1880 until 5 May 1880 when Maj.Gen. Clifford assumed the position to 2 July 1880 when Maj.Gen. Colley oathed up as governor of Natal and High Commissioner for South-Eastern Africa and Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in country. ( The admin position apparently not unlike the old childhood game of 'Hot Potato'!) Bellairs was one of six Maj.Gens. awarded 100 pounds from Parliament for "Distinguished or Meritorious Services" in 1879 (along with Wood, Glyn and Pearson). In addition to the previously mentioned book edited by Lady Bellairs [she seemed to have written her other book - "Gossips with Girls and Maidens, Betrothed and Free" - with little help from from the General!], Sir William wrote "The Military Career, A Guide to Young Officers, Army Candidates, and Parents" (and here I thought that convincing parents was only a modern recruiting head-ache) which was apparently well received. He also wrote an article entitled "What are We fighting for?" in the June 1900 Humanitarian (pre-dating the iconic 'Country Joe and the Fish' song by some sixty-odd years). MAB |

According to the Natal press, which reported regularly on the doings of the various Durban units throughout 1879 (probably especially in the Mercury), a "Pte F. Herbert" (a relative, perhaps, or a misprint?) was serving with the Royal Durban Rifles, the report being dated 31 January and seen in Ron Lock's & Peter Quantrill's The Red Book. Additional perusals come up with other lists accompanying the reports of camps, travels and victory banquets of the Durban Volunteer Artillery, the Durban Mounted Rifles and Durban Mounted Reserve, but I don't see the surname appearing in these. A quick look via the NAAIRS facility on the NASA website for both the Durban and Pietermaritzburg repositories didn't turn up any candidates either, but a more thorough trawl might. Peter |
nGiyabonga! Thanks for all the thought provoking responses. Honestly, you've no idea how stylized the handwriting is. I submitted a high rez scan to my Mum and Dad, who have between them some 55 years of school teaching, for their translation-- totally out of context so they had no preconceptions. What I read as "Paul" my Mother reads as "Thanks" and my Father is convinced that it's Mister Herbert's rank, but he can't figure out what it is. The latter also believes that "Durban-Natal" is, in fact, "Done by ???". I imagine most of you share my thought that handwriting is now something of a lost art form and some few might even add that it's well that it has been lost for the sake of communication!
Thanks for that, Peter, but it's a pretty long stretch to get an "F" out of the name (but then it's a bit of a stretch to get a "P" also). You might be right, though; it could be a relative. |
Peter Ewart
Why not put a copy of your scan up on this thread? I spend most of the day reading handwriting from previous centuries, so would hope to be able to help or clarify. I would think that, between us all, a definitive transcription should be possible. Peter |
A kind offer indeed, Peter. Sadly, though I fancy myself a bit of a computer geek, I've never posted any pix on this site nor do I have a clue how it's done. Anywhere I can go to find out how?
Site Admin
If you have the lettering as a digital image you can send to me. I can post it for you. If not, are you able to get someone to scan it for you?

Three Little Words
No, I am not referring to those three little words that forever redefine romantic engagements. The three little words to which I refer are those that describe yourself. I have been asked to do this several times during the interviewing process and tend to spit out a slightly rambling and definitely generic dialog about being a hard working, motivated individual who is driven to succeed and has no qualms about being a team player. However, on one occasion my mind kept getting tangled... Read More

I'm gonna post away about boats. . .

I would have picked this for a spare rather than a blow boat.

That boat aboard the tug looks suspiciously like it was made of frozen snot... isn't ANYONE going to disparage it?
I got in touch with my inner self today... that's the last time I'll buy single-ply toilet paper!
the tug almost looks like a schooner

If only I had a green light to post Rabinowitz's pics of Aurora . . .
For sheer chutzpah I kinda like the boat with its own car
Good point. Now that I think about, this vessel has some similiarities to Aurora or LMC IV. Of course Aurora was merely a shy 22 feet. I could reach forward from the cockpit just far enough to hang a bumber on a little cleat about midship. The bow line led back to the cockpit from a foredeck cleat. On occasion I found myself draped over that deck on all fours. No anchor.
'Full marks for the fidelty to a vision . . .' I like that.
Maybe there are little laugh-in pop up deck hatches on the boat with a car.
The thread post almost pulled me in....
The biggest Tallship in Canada was a tugboat. Captain Rogers razed an 'Empire' class wartime 205' tug, stepped three steel masts with gaffsails and a bowsprit. Lightened and re-engined her stern became higher and the plumb stem became raked. The 'SV Empire Sandy' has sailed many thousands of miles as a schooner.

I've heard, on the grapevine, that some of the factions we know exist in the Society are, shall we say, having difficulties in properly motivating their members. I do hope that enough people realise that someone has to keep an eye on the Decemvirate and that Grandmaster Torch's associates won't feel the need to restablish themselves outside the Society.
In the meantime, perhaps we should be extending hands of greeting to some of the factions? It's an awfully long way from Tian-Xia and I'm sure that some of the Lantern Lodge would welcome more allies around the Inner Sea.
Apteryx, Dowager Countess Mantelli.
Agreed. We can invite those we know (and those we don't) to have a drink with us and share stories of our adventures.
Sadron Beraliel Owner of The Silvered Longsword Tavern and Temple to Cayden Cailean
I wonder what Torch would think...
Friendship is like echos on the wind as two ships sail. If they sail to the same port the communication is strong and they can defend each other easily. If they sail to different ports then the echos get lost the farther away they sail and the effort is wasted. As much as we would wish it so it is not always the case those that fly the same flag sail the same course. We must choose wisely those that choose a similar destination as ours.
Hello all, i have recently left the Grand Lodge to join the Shadow Lodge. (Sits at a table with back to the wall) "Barkeep, an mug of ale please."
"Torch is a good man, if a bit misguided about the nature of the decimvirate. If he ever left his hideout, he'd make a good Pathfinder." A cloaked half-elf speaks from the corner of the bar, a mug of ale in his hand."I've always though it would be nice if we simply threw aside our various factions, and had a place where veterans could swap more stories over ale." He smiles. "But let's hear some of yours first."
Misguided, huh? Give that man some more credit. Why do you think he's so focused on the Society's politics before all the other kinds? The way I heard it, he was a good Pathfinder, before all those... issues happened to him. Even though Torch makes sure to tell his contacts everything he's sure they need, ask him questions next time he sees you. It'll show him you don't want to be left clueless.
Something you should learn - Mr. Deun, right? - is that everyone likes to be different from other people, so long as "different" means "better" and not "worse". I'm happy to let other types keep their really obvious secrets. When they find out mine - not letting anyone die if I can help it - they'll think that's all there is to me, and let me keep my other ones.
Oh, and that's kind of you, but I don't drink. I'd just rather talk and listen.
And the shadowy figure in the other corner continues to listen on......
Roll perception?
Nothing is as profitable as a little chaos. Yet too much brings devastation. How much trouble are these factions in?
Personally, I see that we have little to worry about. Amongst the Pathfinders that I have most recently met, there is a strong inclination towards our approach to these missions. I believe, comrades, that we are gaining ground. May our work continue to flourish and may we seek to preserve the lives of our compatriots in each of our adventures.
With none left behind, Alain Falaviel
A halfling wearing the red stoll of the Lucky Drunk and hefting a clay mug sized more for an ogre speaks up from the bar, "If a faction is in trouble, I wouldn't mind so much if it were the Chelaxians."
"I may have to work with them for the good of the Pathfinders - and the fulfilmment of the agenda given to us by the Grandmaster, of course - but nothing says I have to like them. There's too much bad blood in my history to make friends with slavers and devil-worshippers."
He pauses for a long sip from his mug and to wipe the foam from his lips before continuing in a quieter tone, "Besides, while I have run into some strange and disturbing things on my missions, that Paracountess of theirs is what really gives me the creeps."
"Good riddance, I say," he finishes before gesturing to the barman for another round.
I have no problem with the Shadow Lodge, and my ancestors rank among the founders of the Society. I agree with your motives. If you need help, count on my axe.
Ohhh ohh it is the Andy-or-Anns, they are good sword swingers, they should stay? Jelly Axes, I still do not know what these things are or why they like jelly? Couldn't be the Grand boring they are too, well boring and I guess the same with Tallll-bore. They are a dead country and refuse to see it. Silly talls. Us Zarnies are are too awesome to even consider.
(A heavily tattooed and pierced elf wearing a grin says) I am setting aside some time to myself in tian xia. I will do what I can to find some interested minds. Perhaps some of the Tengu clans. (Lights up a fine osirian cigarette) Calistria knows they have a history of subterfuge as well as mistreatment.
A fully cloaked figure near the back of the bar flips a small dagger in his hand. Leaning back in his chair and feet atop the empty table.
"And after offering our help... This guarantees the lodge's security? Are we so sure, that our information within our ranks will stay there? What if they become.... curious?"
Now balancing the dagger in his palm.
"Can we trust it?"
Bursting through the door comes a young, silver-haired boy; a wicked scythe on his back gleaming against the candle light. This one obviously does not belong here.
"Harken to me, those who still bow to their former Masters of the Consortium! Spreading your filth-ridden lies about the state of the Crusade will not go unanswered! I will soon know who among you is taint! Soon! The Crusade is stronger than ever!"
He quickly shuts the door without actually having come inside.
Sliding out of the shadows, a vieled men dressed in kelish trsveling clothes and armed with a scimitar and kukri steps forward. His eyes behind the viel are as black as night, & he speaks with a gutteral voice.
"My name is Mukesh ibn Ahriman al-Kulateh, and I owe the life I have now to the one you call Grandmaster Torch. Regardless if the Decemvirate disbands this group, I will still willingly act as his agent. I know from first hand experience how power can corrupt those with even the most noble of us. I have sworn service to the Pathfinder Society, but I will always hold our leaders accountable. If we were disbanded, I would be afraid as I would wonder how the Decemvirate might justify our exit and to what ends it serves them. If the call goes out, I will be the one who will watch the watchmen."
After this, Mukesh slides back into the shadows to watch how others feel about this development.
A man at the bar in a monotone voice:
"Fear not, we have spent to many resources on brining you back into the fold. However, more sales would ensure your survivability, the next time you adventure with someone be sure to try and sell some Mayfinders to them. They don't always find the way, but they may. They are made in Tian and you know the Tian make quality stuff. Do this and earn the favor of the Decemvirate."
a man with a long coat, and a scar down his face that seem to curle from his ear down to his chest walks into the room "some wickedness i hear fortell?"
a big man with peaces of metal in and out side his body but dosn't seem to bother him " look guys we need a big thinker, and i have a friend in the faction andoran , now i don't know about trusting the whole faction but um maybe here my friend blunderbuss out ok guys?"
as part of the door that thunder bear pushed open stands a scrawny man with a long cap blue pants and a long shirt and jacket " all right gental-men, and ladies it seems that the factions are in trouble as mrs. Apteryx over ther-e just said, now we need some kind of organization on our part to get anything done in real time." "now thunder bear here wanted me to look over the problem and i have the only way really is to get the real information from the grand masters them selves only then can we have the real info and from there act in a good fashion way does that sound like a good idea?"
Shortly there after, a hooded elf emerges from the shadows along the ceiling, hops down with out a sound, sits in an open chair, and states in a low whisper
"I am Marcus, recently I have returned from a quest that placed me in the favor of the grandmaster of Cheliax, Zarta Draleen. She states to me that in fact not so much from her members, but the politics of the society, have made here aware of the possible decision to remove her faction once and for all. Perhaps this is where we can begin. Although I do not agree with their methods, they could be a powerful ally. Blunderbuss, what do you think?"
and then proceeds to drink a glass of mead.
After having heard rumours that some factions within the Pathfinder Society were in trouble, the latest breezes bring news that it is our Shadow Lodge that ails.
Perhaps we have had some effect, and the Decemvirate no longer sends Pathfinders on foolhardy missions as lightly as one might roll a die, but as Torch himself said
...the threat of slumbering Thassilonian evil has overshadowed that of the Aspis Consortium. How the Decemvirate and the Heidmarchs can so blindly throw well-trained Pathfinders at one task while so blatantly ignoring another is inexplicable and inexcusable!
The need to keep the Society true to its members is as pressing now as ever. My own brother was lost on a reckless task for the masked Ten, and I am loath to see any more give up their lives on their whim.
If that is true of the Pathfinder Society as a whole, it must be doubly true of our own organisation. If we are to keep the Society open and honest, we must first see to it that we are open and honest. We have all heard the rumours. Our leader is an information broker, so he can hardly have failed to hear it.
It is time that Torch climbed out of his bath and told us what is happening. What future for the Shadow Lodge, Grandmaster?
An elf who had been standing watching the proceedings gives a high, squealing laugh. "Ain't it obvious, lassie? The Shadow Lodge returns to the shadows! All of this forthright dealings and honest talk shan't do for us or them. It's quite the bad watchman who stands in plain sight - ye must remain unseen if you're to catch the wicked at the unseeable."
He pulls out a small book and flips through the pages. "Nay, companions, ye want to make Pathfinders work together? Ye dangle a carrot in front of them and have a stick behind 'em. Put a cursed artifact at one end of the tomb, and a wall of their sins and 'favors done' to keep 'em working together. Works the same for a wet-behind-the-ears milk-drinking baby-faced recruit or for the Decemverite themselves - the power of secrets simply comes in their magnitude." He winks. "That's why I try to make sure I have enough of 'em." The book vanishes into a pocket.

State and Main (2000)
. the soundtrack cd
It's become something of a rite of passage
for maverick filmmakers: biting the hand that feeds them.
Sooner or later, whether it's Billy Wilder (Sunset Boulevard) or Robert Altman (The Player) or the
Coen Brothers (Barton Fink), they
all get around to crafting their own versions of the Hollywood satire. With his seventh feature as a writer/director, State and Main, David Mamet joins the club. But far from the scathing warts-and-all expose
one might expect from the author of Glengarry Glen Ross
and Sexual Perversity in
Chicago, Mamet has whipped up a frothy, good-natured screwball comedy; it's both
the lightest and most fully satisfying picture he's directed to date.
State and Main pits the cast and crew of what
appears to be an earnest period melodrama, The Old
Mill, against the residents of their filming location, the quintessentially
picturesque New England town of Waterford, Vermont. Waterford
is actually the production's second choice of shooting venue, but they've already been run
out of New Hampshire due to the scandalous behavior of their leading man, Bob Barrenger
(Alec Baldwin). Everyone needs a hobby, and
Barrenger's happens to involve underage girls. Director Walt Price (William H. Macy)

commissions The Old Mill's
playwright-turned-screenwriter Joseph Turner White (Philip Seymour Hoffman) to rewrite his
original script despite the obvious negative effect it will have on the movie's title. But White is distracted from his mission when he
becomes smitten with Waterford's drama coach, Ann Black (Rebecca Pidgeon), who is in turn
engaged to a local political hack who smells both money and trouble from the insurgent
film crew.
The usual course of
events would have the simple but good-hearted natives teaching the soulless Hollywood
invaders a lesson or two about small town values, but that's not what Mamet is up to here. He knows media-saturated America has reached the
point where everyone's a show biz insider; thus a scraggly, Twin Peaks-ish pair of diner denizens chew over

stock since 1985. Locals and La-La-landers
alike get their fair share of jabs, but the tone is generally more affectionate than
condescending or malicious. And though the
script is peppered with jokey inside references to movie-making (ubiquitous crew t-shirts
reading "...does it have to be an old mill...?"; an actor's request for a
"tuna BLT"; a sly poke at product placement involving a dot-com company), the
perils of film production are more jumping-off point than primary focus.
Not every moment
in State and Main is pure gold; a couple of the
subplots exhibit the creakiness endemic to Mamet's more funhouse notions of storytelling. But the truth is, he could have plopped this cast
down in a Denny's and had them read the menu to each other for two hours, and it would
probably still be worth the price of admission. (Don't think so? Just picture Macy
ordering the "Moons Over My Hammy.") Hoffman
and Macy are particularly sharp; their roles here feel like reprieves from the schlubby
characters they're so often saddled with. And
though it's hard to pin down exactly why, Rebecca Pidgeon's performance is one of the
movie's most unexpected delights. In her
previous appearances in husband Mamet's films, she's come off as almost comically
straightjacketed by her stilted delivery of his unique dialogue rhythms. That delivery hasn't really changed, but there's
a cheerful offhandedness to her presence here; she's zeroed in on precisely the right
Earlier in his career,
Mamet's screenplays were often in safer hands when he wasn't behind the camera. James Foley's jazzy noir take on Glengarry Glenn Ross proved far more incisive than Mamet's flat attempt
at translating his incendiary play Oleanna to the
screen. House of Games and The Spanish Prisoner
played more like elaborate card tricks than plausible, fully-realized narratives. But with 1999's The Winslow Boy, Mamet began to come into his
own as a director and State and Main finds him
in full, confident flourish. As a master of
cinematic imagery he won't be giving Terry Gilliam a run for his money any time soon, but
his clean, crisp small town visuals are plenty evocative nonetheless. Meanwhile his signature touch - the clipped verbal
stylization that sometimes distracted in previous works - is here seamlessly transformed
into snappy wordplay that crackles like a contemporary version of the fast-talking patter
associated with 30's and 40's comedies. At
one point Price barks at one of his lackeys, regarding their star: "Get him whatever
he likes!" "He likes
fourteen-year-old girls." "Well,
get him half a twenty-eight-year-old!" There
are dozens of exchanges like this, and while not all of them are quite worthy of Preston
Sturges, most are still worlds beyond most of what passes for comic writing at the
cineplex today. After all, where else are you
going to hear the words "blunderbuss" and "butter churn" used in
consecutive sentences? It's Mamet's love of
language that keeps State and Main popping.
