Sen. Levin: U.S. Must Keep Pressure on Syria
A key Senate Democrat said Wednesday that a new resolution authorizing force against Syria if the latest diplomatic push fails has a better chance of passing the Senate.
Sen. Carl Levin (D., Mich.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has been working with a bipartisan group of lawmakers to draft a new resolution if the United Nations does not approve an enforceable measure stripping Syria of its chemical weapons.
Speaking to reporters in a breakfast meeting, Mr. Levin said the Russian initiative could lead to a positive outcome—a Syrian regime without access to chemical weapons—but only if the U.S. continues to put military pressure.
Mr. Levin said the timing of a vote would depend on the wording of the resolution and did not say when he thought the vote would take place, saying only that it should be held when it was most likely to pass. But even if there is not a vote, a strongly worded resolution that has growing support in the Senate could give the diplomatic talks a lift, he said.
"The prospects are better that this kind of approach can pass, because its aim is to promote a political settlement, which is in everybody's interest," Mr. Levin said.

The White House, Mr. Levin said, has the option of taking military action even if the Senate or House fail to pass a resolution authorizing force. He said it was important for the President to retain his power to strike without authorization.
"We should do nothing to reduce the availability of options to the president. Even if we cannot strengthen his hand we should do nothing to weaken it," Mr. Levin said.
On Tuesday, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey, said the U.S. had two sets of targets aimed at diminishing the Syrian regime's ability to launch chemical weapons or threaten its neighbors.
Mr. Levin said the most difficult targets for the U.S. will be the tanks and artillery that defend the launch sites for chemical weapons.
"The effect will not be small, the effect will be real," he said. "There will be an impact on their overall military capability although the target is their chemical capability. There will be a significant impact."

FOOD is usually preserved by curing – in salt or a salt solution (brine) – and removing the moisture. The way lap mei is produced is similar to the western way of producing, say, cured ham and chorizo sausages.
In the past, the cured meats were air-dried in the cold and dry northern winds that blew from high latitude areas at this time of year in China.
Today, they are mostly produced in highly regulated factories under controlled conditions. As its production is now not subjected to the vagaries of inclement weather, they can be produced year-round and in a much shorter span of time, but the demand for lap mei traditionally peaks around the spring festival.
According to a report published by the Hong Kong government, the process involves five main steps: the raw materials, usually meat or duck, are cleaned and cut. They are then placed in a curing mix of salt, sugar, wine, and nitrate, either manually or mechanically.
The mixture is then placed in chillers overnight to allow stabilisation and thorough diffusion. Some manufacturers may add other flavouring agents such as spices or soya sauce, and food additives such as colouring to enhance the appearance and taste of the products.
After curing and seasoning, the ingredients have to be dried to bring the moisture content down to 25% or lower. In the industrial setting, this is done via hot air drying in chambers at between 35°C and 40°C, for three to four days for the preserved sausages.
The addition of nitrates
The addition of nitrate or nitrite to meat at low concentrations has become common practice in the preservation of meat around the world for centuries. The nice, rosy pink appearance of cured meats such as ham and sausages is due to the addition of nitrate salt and/or nitrite in the production process.
If cured meats are not produced with nitrate, they will have an unappetising grey cloak, so that pinkish-red lap cheong will be greyish and quite dull – something that most consumers will not be able to accept.
In the curing of lap mei, nitrate/nitrite is essential not only to provide a unique characteristic colour, but also taste and texture, and more importantly, is its anti-microbial properties against bacteria growth and spore formation especially that of Clostridium botulinum, according to the 1999-2000 Lap Mei Surveillance Report by the Food and Public Health Branch of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the HKSAR government.
The research was commissioned to explore the health implications of lap mei consumption as nitrites may react with other substances found in meat forming nitrosamines, compounds that could cause cancer.
An earlier Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additive (JECFA) report in 1995, had concluded that small amounts of nitrate/nitrite used as food additive is safe – the acceptable daily Intake (ADI) is 0-3.7mg/kg body weight per day for nitrate and 0-0.06 mg/kg body weight per day for nitrite (as expressed in ion form).
Surveillance findings
According to the report, of the 130 samples collected throughout this period, 69 were tested for nitrate and nitrite respectively. Three were found to exceed the permitted level of sodium nitrate, representing a non-compliance rate of 4.3%.
There were another 168 tests conducted on non-permitted preservatives, and all of them were proved satisfactory. Test results on the colouring matter were also reviewed in this report, and one of the 62 tested samples was detected with non-permitted colouring matter, resulting in 1.6% non-compliance rate.
So one may conclude that lap mei from Hong Kong are generally safe for consumption, and the application of nitrate/nitrite in curing is strictly controlled to the amount required to achieve the intended effect only, according to the report.

Jason Collins Signs With NBA's Nets, First Openly Gay Player in Any Major Sport (UPDATE: He Signs for Full Year!)
UPDATE (3/15/2014): The NBA's Brooklyn Nets have liked what they've seen from Jason Collins, as the team has extended his contract for the remainder of the season, according to ESPN. Jason — who is the first openly gay player in any of the U.S.'s four major sports — had previously signed a preliminary 10-day contract. Congrats!
"It's cool," the basketball star says. "Thank you to the Nets organization, coaches and players. The team is playing really well right now, and I'm glad to continue to be here." Jason has been coming in off the bench and is averaging 9.8 minutes in his eight games.
When Jason joined the team, the Nets had the eighth-best record in the NBA's Eastern Conference, meaning they held the final playoff spot. The team now has the conference's fifth-best record. So Jason's minutes are paying off!
Original story (2/23/2014): Basketball star Jason Collins made headlines last year when he came out as gay. But Jason had remained an unsigned free agent since coming out. So perhaps the bigger news arrived today, as Jason has signed with the NBA's Brooklyn Nets. Way to go, Jason!
Jason, a 35-year-old center, signed a 10-day contract with the Nets on February 23, making him the first openly gay professional athlete in any of the U.S.'s four major sports (also including baseball, football, and hockey) according to ESPN.
"Sometimes in life, something happens, and there's an opportunity," Jason says. "I'm very thankful for this opportunity. That's why I work so hard, why I train the way I do, so that when I do have an opportunity, physically I'm not worried about my conditioning or cardio or anything along those lines."
Jason will make his post-coming-out playing debut when the Nets take on the Los Angeles Lakers on February 23. Jason is not expected to start but will come in off the bench. The Nets currently hold the eighth and final playoff spot in the NBA's Eastern Conference, meaning Jason gets to play for a playoff contender. Let's just hope he gets an extension to that ten-day contract!
How do you feel about Jason getting signed by the Nets?

Padres end Reds' 10-game streak with 11-5 win
CINCINNATI These Padres felt right at home, and it showed.
Will Venable drove in four runs with a single and a bases-loaded triple Monday night, and San Diego emphatically ended one of the longest winning streaks in Reds history with an 11-5 victory that was something special for many of them.
Former Reds played starring roles in stopping Cincinnati's 10-game streak. Edinson Volquez (7-7) got the win, and Yonder Alonso tied a Padres record with three doubles among his four hits, taking down a team that had the winning touch.
"They've been riding a great deal of momentum, they have a lot of confidence," manager Bud Black said. "But we've been playing well over the last five or six weeks. Today we had great at-bats. We had some big nights from a number of guys."
The Reds were trying to extend only the eighth double-digit winning streak in franchise history. The 1939 and 1957 clubs share the franchise record with 12 straight wins.
Not even close.
Mike Leake (4-7) retired only five batters in the shortest start of his career. The Reds walked a season-high 11 batters in all, and rookie catcher Devin Mesoraco was ejected for arguing balls and strikes. He poked at plate umpire Chad Fairchild's chest protector and bumped him before leaving.
Carlos Quentin homered and drove in three runs for the Padres, who matched their season high for runs. The 11 runs equaled the most allowed by Cincinnati this season.
The NL Central leaders had a lot of things go their way during the 10-game streak, which matched the New York Yankees for longest in the majors this season. After a fast start Monday, everything came apart.
The package of players they traded away last December helped end the streak.
Cincinnati sent four players to the Padres for starter Mat Latos, a move that solidified the rotation. All four got into the game - Volquez went five innings, Alonso started at first, Yasmani Grandal was behind the plate and Brad Boxberger relieved Volquez. Boxberger was called up from the minors earlier in the day.
Alonso, a first-round pick, was delighted to be back in town.
"It's very special," Alonso said. "This was my home at one point and I was excited. The guys here were great. They showed me the way."
Cincinnati essentially gave up on Volquez after four inconsistent seasons, but he has steadied himself with San Diego. The right-hander pitched well against his former team on July 5, allowing only one run in eight innings of a 2-1 victory.
He had a tougher time in the rematch, giving up five runs in five innings, including solo homers by Drew Stubbs and Jay Bruce. His excitement about pitching in Great American Ball Park contributed to a rough start - three runs allowed in the first.
"I was a little bit (excited) in the first inning," he said. "After that, I had to shut it down."
Volquez hadn't allowed five earned runs in any of his last six starts. His record was more a reflection of the Padres' lack of offense. They averaged only 2.59 runs when he was on the mound, the lowest run support in the majors.
No problem this time.
"That's great," Volquez said, breaking into a big smile. "That's awesome."
Leake threw 32 pitches in the second and retired only two of the nine batters he faced. San Diego sent 10 batters to the plate for five runs, with Leake walking three to keep it going. Venable singled home a run, and Quentin's two-run single made it 5-3 and ended the shortest outing of Leake's career after 49 pitches, only 25 of them strikes.

Is Alexandre Desplat the hardest-working man in Hollywood? If they were going to give an Oscar for that this weekend, he'd certainly be a contender, though as it is he's nominated instead in the real category of Best Score, for "Philomena." In the last three years alone he has worked on that film, "The Monuments Men" (where he also had a small role), "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Rise of the Guardians," "Rust and Bone," "Moonrise Kingdom," "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," "Argo," "The Ides of March," "Carnage," "The King's Speech," "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" and more. And he shows no sign of slowing down, with scores in the pipeline for "Godzilla," Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken" and now also for "D," Roman Polanski's new project.
Desplat is Polanski's go-to music guy at present, having done "Carnage," "The Ghost Writer" and even the documentary "Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir." "D," scripted by novelist Robert Harris, on whose novel Polanski's "The Ghost Writer" was based, is about the notorious Dreyfus affair (about which Harris has also just written a novel, "An Officer and a Spy"). The Dreyfus affair centered on a Jewish officer in the French army whose (blatantly fixed) conviction in 1894 for selling military secrets to Germany triggered years of political and cultural conflict in France and essentially drew the battle-lines along which the French left and right fought for most of the 20th century.

More than 11,000 private sector jobs were created on Long Island compared to a year ago, but job growth in Nassau and Suffolk counties still came in lower than the state and the nation, the New York State Department of Labor said Thursday.
In total, 11,200 new jobs were added compared to last October, a 1.1 percent gain over the year, the labor department said. New York State's private sector growth rate compared to a year ago was 1.8 percent and the nations came in at 1.7 percent.
Despite falling short of state and national numbers, there were some positive signs of job growth on Long Island.
Six of nine sectors got a boost in October, including education and health services, leisure and hospitality, according to the labor department's latest employment data.
In its report, the labor department said professional and business services approached record levels. The financial activities sector grew by 4,400 compared to October 2011, but is still more than 7,000 jobs from its average before the recession hit.
The construction sector continued its fall since the recession, according to the report. The natural resources, mining and construction sector lost 5,600 jobs compared to last year. Manufacturing also continued to decline as it currently employs half the number people it did more than 20 years ago.
Long Island surpassed its typical September to October gains by more than 5,000 jobs, which may be attributed to retailers hiring seasonal employees earlier than expected.

Fights over rules and regulations can earn entrepreneurs a certain cachet in startup circles. Harvard freshmen Akshar Bonu and Fanele Mashwama may have won their honour badges early. The undergrads launched a company called InstaNomz in March to cater to classmates who wanted late-night meals without leaving the glowing hearth of their computer screens. For fees ranging from $1 to $10, the service delivered food from a handful of Cambridge restaurants directly to the students' dorm rooms. The GrubHub-like startup operated between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m.

I don't think I've been as excited in recent years as I am today to watch the football games. It might be a couple of the story lines selling it for some people but to me it's the intriguing match ups. I don't know if I've ever not been able to predict an outcome or be pretty sure about it but today I have no idea who is going to win.
I'm excited for Saints vs. Vikings game and no I'm not a fan of either of those teams.
Colts vs. Jets doesn't excite me too much. Not a fan of the Jets (or any New York team really).
Saints vs. Vikings has the making to be a great game with Favre and Brees leading the way.
Watching the NFC game, and as a Chiefs fan am really p***** off over the number of our good former players who are on the field today.
Allen, Sapp, Fujita, just to name a few.
Thanks Carl Peterson, for setting the franchise back 10 years.
Walking on water is easy. Just do it in December when it's frozen.

Turnovers - all at bad times.
As a die hard Chiefs fan myself. We are the Cubs of the NFL
Pretty crazy game. I thought for sure that kicker would shank that field goal in OT.

At some point in the movie, two things happen I can recall:
They find some phsyco criminal, bust him out of a moving van (he's going to his death sentence), and get him to fight in this cage for viewers.
The main lady ends up liking him and she helps him.
At the end they escape and the undercover people find out where the secret location is where they are doing the fighting.
I'm NOT talking about Gamer.

SALT LAKE CITY – The 30th-ranked University of Utah women's tennis team improved to 11-6 on the season with a victory over Montana at the Eccles Tennis Center. This marks the fifth time this season the Utes have shut out their opponents.
"This was a tough match against an unranked but well-coached team," said Utah head coach Mat Iandolo. "It gave us what we needed in terms of a competitive match going into a big Pac-12 weekend on the road."
The Utes started the match off with a sweep in doubles play. Tereza Bekerova and Paige finished first with a win over Haley Driver and Precious Ghadamosi at the No. 1 spot (8-5).
Sarah Pham and Callie Craig overpowered opponents Ashley Mackey and Maddy Murry to win the third match easily (8-1), while the No. 2 match went down to the wire with Luisa da Rosa and Sarah Richer ultimately topping Sasha Carter and Laurence Pelchat, 7-6 (6).
Freshman da Rosa lead the charge for the Utes in singles play as she handily defeated Murray out of the sixth spot, 6-1, 6-1.
Richter gave the Utes a 3-0 edge over the Griz with her win out of No. 4 over Pelchat, 6-2, 6-1.
With a win at No. 1 singles, Bekerova secured the overall victory for the Utes. The 79th-ranked Utah singles player defeated Driver, 6-4, 6-3.
The match continued as Pham topped Gbadamosi at No. 2 (6-3, 7-5) and Miles came out on top in the No. 5 match over Mackey.
After dropping the first set, Craig battled back against Carter to win the second set. Taking the match into a tiebreaker, Craig came away with the victory (4-6, 7-6, (10-4)).
Utah heads south this weekend to face No. 35 Arizona Friday and No. 23 Arizona State Saturday. The Utes match against the Sun Devils will be televised on Pac-12 Networks beginning at 10:30 a.m.
#30 Utah 7, Montana 0
Order of finish: 1, 2, 3
Order of finish: 6, 4, 1, 2, 5, 3

October 15, 2012 04:00 PM by Donna W. Martin
Last week, Hulk Hogan was dealt the devastating news last that his best friend, Bubba the Love Sponge was responsible for making a sex tape of Hogan and Bubba's estranged wife, Heather Clem. But the star of Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling still hasn't been able to determine who actually leaked the footage to the media.
Hogan is determined to find out who is responsible for leaking the sex tape. Hogan and his attorney, David Houston have vowed to exhaust all civil and criminal sources necessary to ensure the culprit is identified and convicted to the fullest extent of the law.
According to TMZ, Hogan tried to file a police report in Florida but local police there told him they could not help him. When asked why, they police told Hogan since the sex tape was made six years ago, the four-year statute of limitations had run out. And because distributing the illegal footage to media crossed state lines, the crime was no longer local, but was now federal jurisdiction.
Hogan's attorney, David Houston then called in the FBI. Hogan plans to meet with them on Monday and hopes they will be able to identify the person responsible for leaking the sex tape footage and prosecute them.
We know Hogan's best friend, Bubba the Love Sponge is responsible for making the sex tape, but who do you think leaked the footage? Do you think Heather Clem knew her sexual encounter with Hogan was being taped? Who leaked the footage? Bubba? Clem? Maybe both? Tell us what you think by posting a comment below.

Once again. The shoes? You can be a mother of two and not wear shit for shoes. The bundles of joy after the jump.
Julia Roberts Looking Quite Matronly
Once again. The shoes? You can be a mother of two and not wear shit for shoes. The bundles of joy after the jump.
Ok, yeah, the shoes are quite hideous. But I would still rather see her in those than those ridiculous stillettos Paris-the-Slut wears everywhere.
Honey, you try lugging around baby + pounds of baby gear in 3 inch heels, then judge mommy footwear.
I don't really think she's ever had a good taste in clothing, before or after the birth…
Is she comfortable in those shoes/clothes? Post-baby, lugging around double the baby crap? If she is, then who cares what it looks like! At least she's got the sense not to traipse around in stilletos and a mini!!! Thanks, Julia, for making us other mommy's feel not so inadequate!
I'm with you guys…when you have to carry around stuff for ONE baby, you want comfortable shoes…
and she's got everything times TWO. plus, she's travelling. and, sorry to say, when I travel by air, I wear comfortable shoes, too. (some of those airport gate hallways are almost a half mile long!)
and speaking of 3 inch heels, have you all noticed that Britney wears heels ALL THE TIME these days?! I can't imagine that's comfortable while carrying around an extra 20-30 pounds…and in her case, more like 40-50 extra pounds.
she is being practical like Velma
from Scooby DOO…
But I did see something simular
in black by PRADA
and they weren't that bad…
You can't blame the woman. She's got twins, and even with a nanny, it's hard to keep up. I mean, I have two kids and it's hard to even take a shower with them around. You try feeding, bathing, dressing two kids, and see if you have energy to pick out a designer outfit with perfect shoes. I give her credit for lugging all her own stuff around, instead of looking "ghetto fabulous" like KImora Lee Simmons…who you know probably doesn't even bother with her kids.
She looks like an old, frail granny. She always looks like hell.
How no one said she's "parading" her kids around to the media. Probably cuz ppl dont care to have her pics taken as "other" moms. But I'm pretty sure Roberts is with her kids 24/7 too.
Btw, I do agree about the shoes. If you were to carry two kids walking around like that, I wouldnt care too much about the shoes either. She's not at a party.
she's perfectly hideous. just wronger than wrong!
What the hell? Stop being so mysogynistic. The woman's just had twins. She can wear Birkenstocks if she feels like her. Give recent moms and BREAK and stop being so shallow.
sorry to tell you this but I seriously doubt that Julia "luggs around all the baby" stuff. She has people who walk her kids when they are in strollers so I find it hard to believe she is packing everything up and strapping it on her back herself!
I really hope the kids aren't in the two carry-baskets in the first photo–if they are they'll end up as mashed-looking as their mother.
Yeah, Julia couldn't POSSIBLY enjoy doing "normal mom" things. She only had the babies because deep down she knew she couldn't wait to hire a nanny and watch her raise the children. Give me a break, Julia does need help because she does have an unusual career…but I do also believe that she is a hands on mom. Everyone needs a break once in a while…babysitters…heard of them? Isn't that basically what a nanny is, just full time? She has hardly done anything since she had the lovelies. She looks like a normal traveling mom, I applaud the fact that she doesn't feel she needs to dress up to make a public appearance with her kids. We all don't normally look like models all the time you know. Good for normal Julia.
I just want to tell you that you have some cute babies.
Ugh. She's the skank. Horse teeth. No talent. Halitosis. Straps one on for her man. Beat me up, haters. I'm her adopted sister.
I love stong women like Julia, Angelina, Goldie Hawn etc. They can do it all. Like that song: "I'm a Woman, W-O-M-A-N!!" Men are great, but we women can have our babies, work, cook, clean, and keep our wonderful husband as happy as can be….the real women.

An Interview with Comedian Greg Proops
Perhaps best known for his regular appearances on the hit improv show Whose Line is It Anyway?, Bay Area native Greg Proops is also an established stand-up comedian, voice actor and most recently, host of the popular podcast The Smartest Man In the World. Greg has appeared in a number of movies including The Nightmare Before Christmas, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, Kaena the Prophecy and Cyxork 7, as well as on television as the voice of Bob the Builder and on Nickelodeon's True Jackson VP. Greg continues to perform stand-up around the world while relentlessly recording new episodes of his hit podcast each week. Find out more about Greg and some of his comedic endeavors in our interview below.
When did you first realize you wanted to perform comedy for a living?
High school, but really college. I was trying to be an actor and a DJ, yes in those days that was a career. Then I started doing gigs. When we got paid to tell jokes that was it. Doing my own words and being treated like a grown up was the living end.
What made you decide to start podcasting?
I was asked by Matt and Ryan who I had made a couple of records with. They encouraged me. We decided no guests because everyone has guests. When I did the first one my wife told me this was the craft for me. So it stuck.
What do you like about podcasting that is different from stand-up comedy?
I find it is more from the heart for me. I can be sincere and serious and people will tolerate it. I can if I dare educate a bit.
Does podcasting offer any advantages for a performer over traditional stand-up comedy?
Direct communication with the people who want to hear you. Direct and instantaneous free downloading. No TV, no meetings, no yahoos in the crowd dictating where the show goes. Just a warm spontaneity and free atmosphere is what I want to brew up the jokes in.
What other podcasts do you listen to regularly?
I don't but I participate in Doug Benson's show and many others.
Are there any other artistic mediums you still feel like you would like to try?
I would love to be a bad guy in a show.
What comedians have had the most influence on you as a performer?
Warren Thomas, my pal who has passed. He was a genius of riffing and inventiveness. Truly one of a kind. Will Durst has always been a real mentor to me. Bobby Slayton I admire for his tenacity on stage. Paula Poundstone is so original. Bill Hicks was tremendously energizing as he was reckless and fearless and philosophical. Pryor is the greatest, period. My favorite is George Carlin as he is quite clear on where he is coming from. Lily Tomlin is unbelievably genial and warm.
Do you have any advice for someone wanting to create their own podcast?
Be interesting. You are communicating very intimately with one person at a time. Try not to be a narrow-minded douche.
What was the last book you read?
I just reread The Secret History of the World by Mark Booth. Esoteric fun. I also just read Opening Day, the Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season by Jonathan Eig. I am currently reading about five books, The Black Sheep by Balzac, Twenty Years After by by Dumas, Civilization by Niall Ferguson, Cracking the Egyptian Code by Andrew Robinson, the story of Champollion who broke open how to decipher hieroglyphics, we just visited his tomb in Paris.
Who are some of your favorite authors?
Cormac McCarthy, Perez-Reverte, George MacDonald Fraser, and Allan Massie.
What do you appreciate most about libraries?
They are full of books and books are full of magic.
You can find Greg Proops online on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr.

Today I was helping a user that couldn't read or write to files in a folder on the network. I figured something was set on the files that had them set to Read Only. So I ran the following DOS command on the folder containing the files:
attrib *.* -r +a -s -h /s
Some of the files were changed fine, but others threw an access denied error message. There are a few things to check when this happens. We'll cover the most common in this guide.
Check if File is in Use
Are any of the files in use by a program or open on another computer that is connected? Ensure nothing has access to the file when trying to run attrib. If you can't track down if the file is in use, you may want to try starting the computer in Safe Mode.
Check Permissions
Do you have access to all of the files you are running attrib on? You can check this with these steps:
- Right-click the folder you're working with then select "Properties".
- Select "Security".
- Select the "Edit…" button to edit permissions.
- Select "Add…".
- Type your username to allow just your account access, or type "EVERYONE" to allow access to anybody. Select "OK" when you're ready.
- With the account you just added higlighted in the "Group or user names" area, select the "Allow" check for "Full control". Select "OK" when you're ready.
Check File System or Disk
It's very common for attrib to throw "Access Denied" errors if there is problem with the hard drive. Try running CHKDSK /F on the drive from a DOS command prompt, then try to run attrib again when it's finished scanning.

Petrol or Diesel
Posted 01 March 2011 - 06:39 PM
can you guys add some inteligence to my ignorance?!?
I'm (still) trying to sort myself out with a vehicle to overland in from July this year. Travelling around most of southern africa, as far up (hopefully) as Uganda/Rwanda/Kenya etc, plus Namibia/Bots.....
We are really struggling to find anything in SA suitable (in our budget) and diesel. Loads of petrol fit the bill, but i was always under the impression that petrol is a no-no as this fuel is hard to find in most countries.
For those who have travelled around southern africa, what do you think?
cheers for the help. Whorty
p.s. if you know anyone with a 4x4 fir sale in SA please PLEASE let me know
Posted 02 March 2011 - 06:00 AM
Here is a little tip. Botswana imports second hand good condition 4x4s from Japan. They are reasonably priced and must be licensed in Botswana. Although SA also sells these vehicles, they are not allowed to be registered in the country. There is a car park in Durban where you can view these cars.
Actually I have seen quite a few options for you with pickups or double cabs. Isuzu Toyota - whatever.

Then there are other factors - Are you mechanically minded? Water crossings - where is the electronics located? Availability of parts, reliability, repair shops for that vehicle? High Clearance? If you are traveling long distances between refueling, do you want to have a half dozen jerry cans of petrol banging around on top, that adds to safety considerations and weight, when a couple long range tanks of diesel will do, with a low center of gravity and reduced weight....adding range, less chance of getting stuck in some conditions, and taking away that extra wear and tear on a drive train.
This is just off the top of my head.
If you buy a vehicle in SA, and traveling to a country(Kenya?) that needs a carnet, for non-residents you will need a deposit equal to the value of the vehicle. That is a requirement that AA has- your only source of a carnet in SA.

I agree that diesel is better than petrol for this purpose. That being said - you wont be the first people to travel into Africa in a petrol vehicle. I am pretty sure your way around.
Where are you at the moment Whorty - Maybe I can help. PM me.
There's none so blind as those who will not see.
Posted 03 March 2011 - 02:17 PM
Petrol is also freely available in all the countries we travel to. The main thing that concerns me about petrol vehicles is carriage of extra fuel. A petrol vehicle will guzzle more fuel so you'll probably need jerries. I hate carrying petrol jerries - I had a mate in the army who had petrol gush into his eyes when he opend a sun-heated jerry - not nice. But if you're careful, you'll be fine.
I find that my defender's standard 80 litre diesel tank is enough to get me anywhere I want to go. I only carry one jerry on the roof - in case of emergencies/leaks. By contrast, a friend with a V8 petrol landy has had to add additional fuel tanks totalling 200 litres to get by.
With the land rovers try your hardest to get a defender with a 200tdi or 300tdi diesel engine, rather than the BMW 2.8litre or the later TD5.

No pics, but considering this my 1st opportunity in a while to say more than "uh, around the block?"...
Just over 30 miles on Saturday, friends dragged us out of the house and away from remodeling, even drove us to/from starting point. Bethesda, MD to Falls Church, VA, via parts of Washington DC, all but a couple of blocks on nice paths. Actually decent scenery, and makes me re-think (SOME!) the avoid-cities requirement I usually have (uh, the last time I biked in DC might have been the time we paused to take part in an Impeach Nixon march).
Take aways: wow, combination of 90+ heat, being too old & out of shape, and the 42x18 bottom gear meant a succession of short steep ascents climbing up from the Potomac river almost did me in (wife did fine). Amazing how a lunch & beer at a brew pub had me feeling better for the return half of the ride. Oh, 30-year-old brake pads, even Campys, completely useless on a steep enough hill, so I think I'll at least try some Koolstops.
Alas, had a big tear in my 1974 Detto Article 7 shoes, I think they've had their last ride, and I was so proud of having riveted in the TA #39 cleats myself, back when I was 18. Probably for the best, I'm a half-size (US) bigger now for shoes, and had to keep flexing my toes so the feet wouldn't go completely numb.
Really busy paths, I kept my eye out for anything remotely C&V but no-go except for us.

Trouble really may be brewing in the Lamar Odom-Khloe Kardashian marriage. Jennifer Richardson (profession unknown) told Star magazine that she had an affair with the NBA player for more than a year. The 29-year-old recounted that she met Odom at a Dallas strip club (naturally) in early 2012, when he was with the Mavericks. The last time Khloe and her hub were seen together was June 2, at sister Kim Kardashian's baby shower.

Scholarly types see lessons in boycott
Conventions join gay-rights debate
Rally Against DOMA
Gay-rights supporters plan a march and rally to oppose the federal Defense of Marriage Act. They also plan to sign an open letter to President-elect Barack Obama urging him to repeal the legislation that defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman.
When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today
Where: County Administration Center, 1600 Pacific Highway, San Diego
Admission: Free
Fare: Speeches, live music, information
Several years ago, the Association of American Law Schools voted to hold its 2009 convention in San Diego, reserving meeting space and blocks of rooms at the Manchester Grand Hyatt and the San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina next door.
After developer Doug Manchester spent $125,000 to help Proposition 8, the voter-approved ballot initiative outlawing same-sex marriage in California, opponents of the proposition launched a boycott against his three hotels, including the Grand Hyatt.
Sympathetic to the cause but unwilling to break a contract, the law school group decided last summer to keep only the minimum number of rooms booked at the Grand Hyatt. They scheduled all receptions, discussions and registration events at the Marriott.
The five-day convention closes today, the same day that gay-rights supporters plan to march past the Manchester Grand Hyatt to oppose the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
"Institutional pluralism is a good thing for our students in the same way choices are good for consumers in other fields," association President John Garvey wrote to members. "It may also contribute in an important way to a healthy intellectual life."
Gay-rights activists may never have expected such lofty ideals when they launched their boycott against Manchester and other high-profile contributors to the Yes on 8 campaign. But some scholarly groups are sizing up the political landscape before choosing where to spend their convention cash.
This week in New York, the American Historical Association debated whether to keep its 2010 convention at the Manchester Grand Hyatt.
After much discussion, the historians decided it would be too costly to cancel their contract, but they added several workshops and special events to their agenda to raise awareness of equality issues.
Manchester declined to discuss the impact of the boycott, which has stretched into its seventh month. His top financial officer said months ago that the action could cost the company millions of dollars in business.
Kelly Commerford, the Hyatt's director of marketing, called the effect negligible. But he did note that more professional associations seem to be paying new attention to where they convene.
"There is an increased awareness amongst groups making sure they are doing business with companies that stand for equality," he said. "And the Manchester Grand Hyatt stands for equality."
Boycott organizers also targeted Terry Caster, whose family owns the A-1 Self Storage chain and gave almost $700,000 to Yes on 8. Caster did not return calls about the boycott.
In previous interviews, Manchester and Caster said their contributions to the Yes on 8 campaign were made strictly as private individuals.
Fred Karger of Californians Against Hate, the nonprofit that launched the boycotts, said they are having an effect.
"It's a real slap in the face to Doug Manchester when he loses business to his main competitor," Karger said.
In November, some National Communication Association members were so angry at Manchester's role in helping Proposition 8 pass that they refused to enter the Grand Hyatt for their conference.
After NCA officials rejected a proposal to move the convention, members organized alternate meetings at the Embassy Suites across the street, which they called the UNconvention. Hundreds of experts presented and attended sessions exploring race, gender, public policy and other topics.

As a critic and a cinephile (in addition to my many other hats), I have always felt my job was equal parts analysis, advocacy and education. I'd like to think I'm combining all three in my latest course on the "Contemporary Documentary," which takes place Wednesday nights at New York University (in their School of Continuing and Professional Studies program). Once again, I'm planning to make the course less a history lesson and more an examination of the filmmaking practices and various aesthetic strategies that have gone into the best (primarily American) documentaries, from "Titticut Follies" to "The Thin Blue Line," "Crumb" to "Grizzly Man," "Sherman's March" to "Tarnation."
I'm also enlisting the help of some real live documentary filmmakers to come in and offer advice. You can read about some of the 10 lessons that filmmaker-blogger Doug Block (The D-Word, "51 Birch Street") wrote about after he stopped by last year. I was quite proud of the distinguished nonfiction guests that stopped by last time out: Nanette Burstein even previewed a clip from "American Teen."
Enrollment is low at the moment, and time is running out! So if you're interested in the class or know someone who might be, please direct them to the link -- or we'll lose out on an opportunity to learn from the best. Classes run Sept. 17-Dec 10.

Have an existing C# .NET code base that is currently coded to directly access Oracle's ODP.NET API for database access. We're interested in doing some refactoring in this area of the application.
Our company has another Java-based code base where myBATIS is used to access Oracle db. We really like myBATIS there - so am considering myBATIS for the C# .NET application.
Yet here's the 'but': but in looking at the info on myBATIS for .NET it appears to be layered onto ADO.NET.
Would really like to have myBATIS go directly to ODP.NET for when dealing with an Oracle database. (And we'd like to have the latitude to use a very specific version of ODP.NET.)
Is that already possible to do or would we need to roll up our sleeves and code our own branch of myBATIS that layers directly onto ODP.NET (instead of ADO.NET)?
Am not a member (yet) of the myBATIS discussion groups so am asking here first.

Among the many anomalies of the biliary tree is interposition of the gallbladder between the common hepatic and common bile ducts. The existence of this anomaly has not been emphasized, since only 14 cases have appeared in the English medical literature, yet the failure to recognize this condition may have disastrous results.
Report of Case
This 67-year-old Creek Indian woman was admitted to Public Health Service Indian Hospital, Talihina, Okla, on Aug 27, 1963, with a perforated appendix. An appendectomy was performed during the course of which cholelithiasis was noted to be present. Postoperative course was uneventful until Sept 13, when she developed an attack of acute cholecystitis which subsided on conservative management. Because of intermittent right upper quadrant distress, patient was taken to surgery on Sept 23, for cholecystectomy.Exploration revealed the gallbladder to be solidly packed with stones and adherent to surrounding viscera.

Is there another role?February 02,2013
Is there another role?
In Wednesdays Times Argus, Publisher R. John Mitchell continues to use the only convicted sex offender on his staff to write a story of a Cabot teen charged with sexual assault on a child. The reporter, Eric Blaisdell, is still on probation for his conviction, yet Mr. Mitchell does not seem to care.
Why doesnt Mr. Mitchell assign Mr. Blaisdell to cover the Legislature or the environment?
I hope Mr. Mitchell is not using his power to thumb his nose at the courts or victims of child sexual abuse. Joe Paterno failed to do the right thing when it came to child sexual abuse, and we know what happened to his legacy.

Apple Setting Up Holiday Target For iPad?
Apple's iPad will be launched at the budget retail chain Target on October 3rd, going by a report at the Engadget. Which means the tablet's maker is probably looking to expand the iPad's retail presence just in time for the holiday shopping season.
Now, this speculation is based on pictures sent by a 'tipster', including one which shows a product appearing on a Target PDA with prices matching that of an iPad i.e. $599. But this, going by the reputation of Target as a discount store, is a little hard to believe. Especially, as the iPad has been around for a few months now and some competitors are expected to launch their products in time for the holiday season too.
The noteworthy competitors to iPad in the coming months are Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Notion Ink's Adam. Both of these tablets are based on the popular Android platform and have several things that are currently missing in the iPad like inbuilt cameras, support for Adobe Flash and among others, an unrestricted access to applications (Apple is notorious for censoring all sorts of material – ranging from political satire to swimsuit-clad women – and also for banning apps that provide functions such as free tethering and customization of the operating system).
But all this makes sense if Apple is planning on offering the iPad at a significant discount around Thanksgiving and Black Friday. And then follow it up by launching the newer models of iPad at a higher cost in the late holiday season. Now that this handy tablet has already proven its popularity with its user-friendly, touchscreen interface and long battery life, a decent discounted offering on the $599 price label will make it all the more attractive to small businesses and to anyone thinking of using the tablet.
Since Apple has been so quiet about its future product launches – various rumours about swankier, tinier iPads with OLED screens and more memory notwithstanding – let see how its Target strategy turns out.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
There are an infinite number of reasons why you didn't get a particular job, from the interviewer holding onto the gig for a friend to your decision to overload on perfume or aftershave the day of the interview. So how can you tell if you're to blame for a lost opportunity?
(Photo Credit: Sport Suburban/Flickr)
The first thing to do is to try to honestly assess your performance, without either beating yourself up or letting yourself off the hook. Ask yourself:
1. Was your presentation -- dress, grooming, etc. -- neutral, professional, and appropriate for the corporate culture of the company?
2. Did you express your interest in the job sincerely, passionately, and believably?
3. Did you feel a connection with the interviewer? You don't need to become best friends, but if things are going well, the interview should feel more like a conversation and less like you're being interrogated or making a speech.
4. Is there anything in your offline behavior that might cost you the job, such as posting something you shouldn't on social media or badmouthing a former employer online?
5. Did you follow up appropriately, with an email or card?
One thing you shouldn't do is worry over one interview that didn't pan out. The list of things that could go wrong is long and goes into the weeds pretty quickly, as the infographic below demonstrates. (Although if you have some of these characteristics -- like showing up to a job interview drunk -- you might want to think about seeking professional help.)
The bottom line is that it's worth evaluating your interview performance for weak spots, but don't get hung up on trying to figure out if your interviewer has an irrational hatred of people who wear blue suits or who are your exact height. When it comes to figuring out what went wrong in job interviews, you're looking for patterns, not obsessing over one lost gig.

Among the estimated 4.5 lakh supporters of Narendra Modi, the BJPs prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, at his Mahagarjana rally at the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) on Sunday, about 300 chaiwallahs (tea vendors) enjoyed a rather special status.
Taking the Congresss jibes over Modis beginning as a tea vendor in its stride, the BJP decided to issue VIP passes to tea vendors. While the BJP claimed to have sent invites to 10,000 tea vendors in the city, party leaders said owing to security restrictions, those without passes were not allowed to enter the premises.
The BJP had intended to make a separate seating arrangement for tea vendors but the plan did not materialise.
Modi, in his recent speeches, has referred to his childhood and adolescent years when he was a tea vendor. On Sunday, he said, I have read reports that my party has extended invitations to tea vendors for the rally. If US President Barack Obama could sell ice cream, Abraham Lincoln could work as woodcutter, former President of India A P J Abdul Kalam could sell newspaper, whats wrong if I sold tea? To me, every citizen of India is important.
Kamlesh Patel (35), a native of Udaipur in Rajasthan has been selling tea in the Bandra Reclamation area in a small stall for eight years. We liked the strong manner in which Modi spoke to the crowd, he said.
He added that BJP workers had asked close to 15 tea vendors from his locality to attend the rally.
Jagdish Daya, also a native of Rajasthan, started with a tea stall in Bandra (East) 20 years ago. The stall is now a 125-sq ft make-shift shop. Meeting Modi was like a dream come true. There is no leader today who comes even close in comparison to him, said Daya.
In what is being termed as the largest political rally in Mumbais recent past, BKCs MMRDA ground saw people pouring on foot, in cars, in private as well as public buses.
Modis supporters were brought to the city by 22 trains booked by the BJP to ply supporters from Vidarbha, Nagpur, Jalgaon, Ahmednagar, Aurangabad and other parts on the state.
In all, 250 BEST buses ran through the day to ferry people to and from the CST, Dadar, Bandra, Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and from Kopri in Thane and Bandra (East) to the BKC.

Libertarianism: A Primer
Simon and Schuster, 1997 - Philosophy - 314 pages
Tens of millions of Americans, from Generation X-ers to baby boomers and beyond, are rediscovering libertarianism, a visionary alternative to the tired party orthodoxies of left and right. In 1995 a Gallup poll found that 52 percent of Americans said "the federal government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens." Later that year, "The Wall Street Journal" concurred, saying: "Because of their growing disdain for government, more and more Americans appear to be drifting-- often unwittingly-- toward a libertarian philosophy."
Libertarianism is hardly new, but its framework for liberty under law and economic progress makes it especially suited for the dynamic new era we are now entering. In the United States, the bureaucratic leviathan is newly threatened by a resurgence of the libertarian ideas upon which the country was founded. We are witnessing a breakdown of all the cherished beliefs of the welfare-warfare state. Americans have seen the failure of big government. Now, in the 1990s, we are ready to apply the lessons of this century to make the next one the century not of the state but of the free individual.
David Boaz presents the essential guidebook to the libertarian perspective, detailing its roots, central tenets, solutions to contemporary policy dilemmas, and future in American politics. He confronts head-on the tough questions frequently posed to libertarians: What about inequality? Who protects the environment? What ties people together if they are essentially self-interested? A concluding section, "Are You a Libertarian?" gives readers a chance to explore the substance of their own beliefs. "Libertarianism" is must reading for understanding one of the most exciting and hopeful movements of our time.

Rockets hit city center, open field in nearby kibbutz; several people suffer from shock, damage caused to vehicle
Shmulik Hadad
Published: 06.14.07, 09:26 / Israel News
Shmulik Hadad
Palestinian gunmen fired two Qassam rockets from the northern Gaza Strip toward Israel
on Thursday morning.
One rocket landed in the center of the southern town of Sderot, and another landed in an open field in a nearby kibbutz. A vehicle was damaged and a number of people suffered shock in the attack.
Israeli officials fear that the Hamas takeover
of areas in the Gaza Strip may cause the fire to be diverted toward Israel.
Over the past few days, the number of rockets being fired at Israel's southern communities has diminished to just a few rockets in the early mornings and evenings, following internal Palestinian clashes.
In the meantime, terror organizations continue to attempt suicide attacks on Israel. On Wednesday it was reveled that Shin Bet intelligence service recently prevented a double suicide bombing in central Israel.
