You know, I had to wiki this one to make sure...it is pop culture but it definitely has some history to it. I saw it first in a community theater in 1998 or so and it was very entertaining. I don't know about that recent-ish movie though. Definitely worth seeing in some form I think..although which form and where beyond the film...I'm not sure.
Sweeney Todd is a fictional character who first appeared as the murderer of the Victorian penny dreadful The String of Pearls (1846–1847). He was later introduced as the antihero of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and its film adaptations
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a 1979 musical thriller with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and libretto by Hugh Wheeler. The musical is based on the 1973 play Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Christopher Bond.

Jerome Smith added 158 rushing yards for the Orange, which ran for 369 overall--the program's first 300-yard rushing game since 2005.
On the other side, SU's defense held West Virginia's attack completely in check. The Mountaineers entered the game averaging nearly 42 points, seventh-highest in the Football Bowl Subdivision, and 519 total yards, eighth-best in the FBS, but only managed two touchdowns and 285 yards while also surrendering two safeties, one on a sack and another on a call for intentional grounding in the end zone.
Syracuse ends the season with six wins in seven games for an 8-5 record. The Orange has now beaten West Virginia (7-6) three-straight times.

GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County woman charged with felony theft on Monday for allegedly stealing goods from Walmart in Gallipolis escaped from the Gallia County Work Release Center on Monday evening.
Theresa Lee Artz, 37, Crown City, pleaded not guilty to a fifth-degree felony theft charge in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County on Monday and was given a $5,000 own recognizance bond with an additional $1,500, 10 percent bond.
According to the original complaint filed against Artz in this case, she was observed by a loss prevention officer inside Walmart on November 17, 2012, for an extended period of time and had a shopping cart "overflowing" with clothing and other miscellaneous items. She was later observed leaving the store without paying for the items, according to the complaint.
Artz was arraigned in the Gallipolis Municipal Court and charged with theft. Her case was later bound over to the common pleas court where it was heard by a grand jury on December 13.
Following Monday's arraignment hearing, bond was not posted for Artz's release from the Gallia County Work Release Center and, according to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning, she later left the grounds of the work release center without permission on Monday evening.
A search for the defendant ensued, and she was arrested in West Virginia by the Point Pleasant Police Department on Tuesday morning, according to Browning.
Artz, who initially gave the West Virginia police officers a false name, was later identified by a Gallia County Sheriff's Deputy.
She will later appear for a hearing in the Mason County Circuit Court where she will be given the opportunity to waive extradition and be brought back into Gallia County to face additional charges.
According to the arraignment entry, Artz is scheduled to appear in the common pleas court on April 16, 2013, for a jury trial in relation to her theft charge.

Re: Rim boltsAvailable new from IH dealers:
http://www.tmtractor.com/new/wh/4101-1fp.htm Originals can be found for sale also. You may place an ad in the wanted section of this forum if you want. I have been collecting, buying, and selling Farmall Cub tractors, implements, and parts for nearly 11 years.
Re: Rim boltsCecil also found some at a JD dealer that were much cheaper. You might see if you can get a part # from him.

Re: Rim boltsOnce you know the size, try your nearest tractor dealership. I have found that the local tractor dealerships stock quality bolts. Grade 5 and 8.
Might try a well stocked hardware store. They may have the bolts in grade 5 or 8. I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Rim boltsThe standard rear wheel nuts and bolts from the dealer are OUTRAGEOUS, about $20 bucks apiece. I found the ones at Home Depot affordable and good enough for me.

Pirates formally annouce Clint Hurdle as manager
Clint Hurdle was formally announced as Pirates Manager on Monday afternoon during a news conference. He is the 39th in the rich history of the Bucs and the fifth in part of the 18 consecutive losing seasons. It's no shocker that Hurdle has a lot work to do, but he seems to generally believe in the organization, players and the future moving forward.
"This wasn't about taking a job because it was a sure thing," Hurdle emphasized. "This was about taking an opportunity that felt sure. And it fit right. I felt comfortable with the people that I was going to be getting after the job with. "There is not a doubt in my mind that this is eventually going to turn. I wanted to get on board now, because I believe this is the time it's going to start turning."
"I'm not going to shy away from talking about a championship," Hurdle said. "I really don't care what people think. You have a young nucleus of good players that grow up together, they learn together, they stumble together, they fight together, and through it all, they emerge as champions together.
"We're headed in the right direction. It's not about taking our time to get there. There's some urgency."
The Pirates finished the season with 105 losses as well as last in both pitching and fielding. The organization has discussed adding to the payroll for the 2011 season and that they would be attacking the free agent market.
General Manager confirmed on Monday that after firing John Russell, Hurdle was the guy they had their eye on. He asked around approximately 30 different people on Hurdle's philosophy and credentials.
"We had been told that he was going to be a remarkable interviewee just because of the presence and the intelligence and the passion," Huntington said. "But the alignment of where he is philosophically and where we are philosophically was a terrific fit right away.
"He has the ability to help young men grow up and mature and be ready to take the next step, yet he's also a person that can relate to veteran players and help them get better. He believes in being unified. He believes in cohesion. He believes in a lot of the same things we believe in."
Hurdle may have gotten fans to like him already. He was in attendance at the Steelers game on Sunday night (where he met Pirates players Neil Walker and Joel Harahan) as well as the Pens game on Monday night.
"I'm going to be upfront. I'm proud to be a Pirate," Hurdle said. "We're not going to back down from anybody. We're going to show up and we're going to play. Our focus is going to be on a commitment of excellence that is unique and that is real. We're going to hold ourselves to a very high degree of accountability and responsibility.
"I'm all in."

LONDON - Skeptical investors sent shares in aerospace and defense contractors BAE Systems and EADS down sharply Thursday, a day after the two companies announced they were in merger talks.
Shares in British-based BAE were down as much as 9 percent in early trading in London, after gaining 10.6 percent on Wednesday after the news leaked. Meanwhile EADS shares were down 5.6 percent at (euro) 26.44 in morning trading, leaving the stock back at the level of Tuesday's close and more than 12 percent lower than last Friday.
If it goes ahead, the deal would create a global aerospace and defense giant with combined sales of more than (euro) 70 billion ($90.3 billion) and more than 220,000 employees.
The new company would create a European rival to U.S. defense giant Boeing.
The U.S. company's defense and space business had revenue last year of almost $32 billion, from selling Chinook helicopters and F-18 fighter jets to the U.S. and, increasingly, other countries.
Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said the Chicago-based aerospace leader was not threatened by such a merger, which he predicted would mark the start of global consolidation in the industry.
"I don't see this as something that is going to threaten us fundamentally," Boeing CEO Jim McNerney told Reuters Wednesday after a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington.
Executives at Lockheed Martin Corp declined comment.
Defense revenue at EADS was
Oliver Wynne-James, an analyst at Panmure Gordon & Co. said the proposed deal "paves the way for value creation across unloved, deep value stocks."
However the merged organization will have a complex ownership structure split among several countries including the U.K., France, Germany and the Netherlands, and all would have a say in how and whether the merger goes ahead.
"With the prospect of a protracted and bumpy ride to completion, we advise shareholders to cash-in," said Andrew Gollan, analyst at Investec Securities in London.
"Approvals will be required from multiple global governments. Perhaps of more significance, agreement by U.K., French, German and Spanish governments on ownership structures, and protection of national interests (e.g. nuclear deterrent), will prove politically highly sensitive issues," Gollan said in a research note.
EADS is incorporated in the Netherlands with dual headquarters in Munich and Paris as well as the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse, France.
"There's always political machinations between the French and the Germans," said Cai von Rumohr, an aerospace analyst at Cowen & Co. in New York. "Now if you put the British in the mix, I think that's going to get further complicated."
The British government said it was aware of the proposed deal and was working with both companies to protect British interests.

District Attorney John Wampler announced Friday that the Assistant Police Chief in Hollis was arrested on Thursday. The arrest was following an investigation by agents of the District Three DA Drug Task Force into allegations of sexual assault on a 28-year-old female inmate in the Harmon County jail.
Arrested was Jayson Scott Vest, 34, who is being held in the Jackson County jail on a bond of $250,000.
According to Wampler, the assault allegedly occurred on Wednesday evening, Jan. 16 in the Chief's office when Vest removed the inmate from her cell to allegedly question her about drug activity in the county.
The Hollis Police Department and the Harmon County Sheriff's Department are both housed in the same building where the joint City/County jail is located.
According to the victim, Vest sexually assaulted her and they had intercourse.
Vest is expected to be arraigned next Tuesday before Harmon County Associate District Judge Mike Warren. Wampler said he expects to charge the officer with Rape of an Inmate, which if convicted, is punishable by 1 to 15 years in prison.
The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

While your children are most likely making their list for Santa and their eyes may light up over all the shiny toys on the market this time of year – you need to remember that some of these items account for hundreds of thousands of injuries each year. In 2009 alone, it was reported that there was an estimated 181,900 toy-related injuries, stating that nearly ½ of these injuries occurred in children 5 or under.
In order to keep your little ones safe please take a moment and read over some great reminders when it comes to kids, toys and safety.
- Kids 3 and under tend to put most everything in their mouth, avoid toys with small parts, they can become a choking hazard.
- Avoid marbles, and small balls that are smaller than 1.75 inches for kids under 3.
- Remember kids 3 and under pull, prod and twist toys, make sure toys with eyes, noses and other parts are secure.
- Keep in mind a child's age when buying gifts this season
- Get rid of the plastic that toys are wrapped in; it can be a real hazard in the wrong little hands.
- Toys with long strings or cords may be very dangerous to infants and very young kids.
- Always remember projectile toys can turn into weapons and can injure eyes very easily.
It's good to remember that protecting children from an unsafe toys is all of our responsibilities. Careful toy selection and proper supervision of kids while they play is the best way to make sure they do not get injured while playing.
Now go have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and remember its always more fun to play with a friend, so this Christmas get on your knees, crawl around, enjoying the new toys and best of all enjoy the smile you'll see on your little ones face while you play with them.
Merry Christmas: from the staff at KidSafeInc.com.

High-speed trading under investigation
Could flash trades made anonymously potentially bring down the markets?
That's what regulators are trying to figure out. They're examining whether giving "naked" access to high-speed traders could potentially screw up the markets, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Firms have ramped up computers to trade billions of shares a day, and the tradebot strategy has paid off handsomely. So much so, in fact, that those high-speed trades now account for more than half of all stock-trading volume, the Journal reports.
Here's how it works: Regulated brokerages have computer access codes that allow them to trade directly on exchange computers, according to the Journal. These brokerages are loaning out those codes -- at high fees, of course -- to hedge funds and other firms.
Stock exchanges and regulators have no idea who is renting
these codes. All they see are high-speed trades coming in under the
regulated brokerage's name.
With the trading now being done by
computers, it's pretty safe to assume that something will go wrong. And
one could imagine a major trading glitch -- like a wave of high-speed
orders triggering other waves -- causing a broad decline in the overall

Here at the college we used an open-source solution compromising SpamAssasin/Clam AV and assorted plugins for about 5 years. At first that worked decently well, but as time went on and spam became the unruly problem that it is these days the system became inefficient and untenable. About two years ago we started looking for alternatives and settled on the M+Guardian from Messaging Architects. We implemented the system about 1 1/2 years ago and noticed an immediate benefit from this device. A quick list of some of it's features: - Policy-driven, meaning we can create multiple policies for what to detect and how to handle messages and assign them globally, by group or by individual - Identified spam can deleted/tagged or quarantined on the appliance (depending on policies) - When using the quarantine feature, policies can be set to automatically clean-up users accounts (or not) and email daily reports to each user detailing new messages. These reports include point and click options to release, report or allow individual messages - Users can maintain their own block and allow lists for addresses and domains - everything is controlled through a web-based GUI which is easy to navigate and aesthetically appealing - An administrative dashboard gives access to realtime statistics for overall system and scanning agents and access to logs - System is based on modules allowing you to easily enable/disable the features and functionality you require - Due to it's modular nature the system is easily designed to be spread out over multiple devices (nodes) if you wish. This allows for easily configured load balancing and fault tolerance We currently run just one node in a stand-alone configuration and it seems to handle our ~1,500-user email system very well. If you are interested I can forward on contact information that I have.

Are there any prebuilt Linux distros running Spam Assassin, Clam AV, and a pretty UI through which end users could manage their spam?

There isn't a lot you can do about it if your exchange server is responding to SMTP request from the outside world. Even though your users are using [log in to unmask] to respond to emails, the exchange server's MX record has to be registered to received email from the outside and this maybe one source that spammers are using. One way to curtail this problem is to install some sort of a SPAM filter between your exchange server and the outside world where the outside world talks to the spam filter and only the spam filter talks to your exchange server.

Oakland County prosecutors charge roadway shooting suspect with attempted murder; 60 counts stemming from 9 incidents
The man accused of going on an October shooting spree that spanned across four Michigan counties, including Oakland, appeared in a Novi court Friday afternoon and was arraigned on 60 charges.
Raulie Casteel, 43, was arraigned in front of Judge Dennis Powers via video from jail on charges stemming from 9 shooting incidents that occurred in Wixom and Commerce Township.
He opted out of having all 60 charges read, and said he would go over them with his lawyer. His lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf all counts.
Charges included several counts of assault with intent to commit murder, which if convicted, he could face life in prison.
Other charges included assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle and carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent.
He was denied bond on several of those counts.
Wixom police Sgt. Ronald Moore told the judge that shell casings were recovered from the windshield wiper track on Casteel's 2009 Chevy Malibu.
Bullet fragments from several of the victim's vehicles matched Casteel's 9mm handgun.
Wixom Police Chief Clarence Goodlein said he believes the charges of intent to murder will hold up in court.
"I think that it is difficult to ignore the fact that when anyone shoots any type of a weapon firearm at another vehicle that the outcome of that cannot be at someone dying," Goodlein said. Continued...
Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said he thinks the charges were appropriate and he thinks that anyone shooting at a moving car from a moving car has an intent to hurt someone.
Bouchard and Goodlein said these are the vast majority of the Oakland County shooting cases.
"At this point it takes care of most of our victims that we have in our complaints, we have some other complaints to still further investigate," Goodlein said.
Goodlein said he is unsure of Casteel's mental state, and will leave it to the professionals to further examine him. He thinks it is unlikely that we will ever find out a motive for these crimes.
Earlier this week, Casteel was charged with six counts of a combination of felonious assault, carrying with unlawful intent, felony firearms and discharge of a dangerous weapon from a vehicle in Howell.
He is being held on $2 million bond in that case.
Several of Casteel's family members were present for Friday's arraignment, but did not want to comment.
Casteel, who has been married for 11 years and has a 2-year old child, was arrested Monday night at a home in Wixom.
Casteel's preliminary exam conferences are scheduled for Wednesday at 9 a.m. in Novi.

Does anybody know how to change light direction?
back end of my trailer is coming along nice an yes i know the wheels are not mine they are just there to make it look good
Ok, so time to start on the N/B and textures.
I'll be honest I'm not quite sure what it is. I think it may be something to do with an oil rig or pipes under the sea.
Yeah, I'm not sure on the real weight but I'm guessing 150+ tonnes.
This is what the mesh is based on. I know no measurements or weights for it so I'm just guessing really.

A warmer winter for Emmanuel Care Centre
Atlantis, Western Cape – Residents of the Emmanuel Care Centre for physically and mentally challenged individuals will not have to face the bitter cold unaided this winter, thanks to the generous donation of 12 wall heaters and 13 blankets by the Parow Plant of Peninsula Beverage Company (PenBev), the local bottler of The Coca-Cola Company's products in the Western and Northern Cape.
PenBev have adopted the Emmanuel Care Centre in Atlantis as part of their "Live for a Difference Campaign". The committee members of the PenBev Parow plant raised the funds to purchase the wall heaters and Waverley blankets for the centre and handed the items out to residents earlier this month, ensuring that everyone could keep warm this winter.
Emmanuel Care Centre Manager, Marie Petersen, was concerned by the looming winter months and the effect the cold would have on the centre's occupants as the newly developed centre had no infrastructure in place yet to keep the residents warm. Residents of the centre range in age from 12 months to adulthood. "Many of the people at Emmanuel Day Care Centre stay with us their whole lives, until they pass on," Petersen says, "The severity of their disabilities is of such a nature that they can never be placed out into other facilities."
Petersen has compiled a wish list of items needed by the centre and was very grateful for PenBev's contribution. "Compiling the list was a task of its own, as we need so much and yet we do not want to impose," Petersen says.
Other items on the wish list include, a gas stove, computers, petrol weed eater and non-perishable foods to name but a few. Organisations in the area are encouraged to help the centre where possible this winter.
To get involved with Emmanuel Care Centre contact Marie Petersen on firstname.lastname@example.com

Sea Point Rotary and Bonaqua bring joy to little ones
Little ones from the Ilitha Crèche in Khayelitsha and the Ruth First Crèche in Philippi could hardly contain their excitement when they visited the Rotary Club of Sea Point's Blue Train Project last week.
Gavin Schachat, Director of Projects Sea Point Rotary, said, "We were delighted to host these children from disadvantaged backgrounds and to witness their joy when riding the train, jumping on the jumping castle and in some cases, seeing the sea for the first time!
"We are very grateful to Peninsula Beverages (PenBev) for their continued assistance with our projects and for sponsoring Bonaqua water to keep the children and teachers hydrated during their visit." Schachat added.
The Rotary Club of Sea Point's Blue Train Project has been bringing joy to communities through similar excursions since 2008.

RAIN Water for Schools
Homba Primary School, Khayelitsha
Learners from Homba Primary School in Khayelitsha can now enjoy cool water during a hot morning break between classes thanks to Coca-Cola South Africa's legacy project entitled RAIN (Replenish Africa Initiative) Water for Schools. Homba Primary is one of a growing number of schools that has benefited from the RAIN Water for Schools project in South Africa. The Coca-Cola Company's RAIN programme aims to improve access to clean water for 2 million Africans by 2015 through a $30 million investment in programmes such as the one in South Africa. Working together with the government, Coca-Cola South Africa is providing schools in disadvantaged areas across the country with basic water and sanitation infrastructure such as working toilets and urinals, taps with drinking water in and around the school area, drainage systems and new basins and taps. The infrastructure upgrades implemented in schools varies according to their individual needs as assessed by the Department of Basic Education.
"We started the RAIN Water for Schools project in 2010, with nine schools as our legacy project for the 2010 FIFA World Cup," says Sammy Mohlaoli, Senior Manager, Community Affairs at Coca-Cola South Africa. "Since then we have identified a total of 100 schools in all nine provinces that are in dire need of basic water and sanitation."
"Without running water there are many health risks that communities, especially learners, are faced with," says Denise Green, Manager of Corporate Social Investment Projects at Peninsula Beverages (PenBev), the local bottler of The Coca-Cola Company's products in the Western and Northern Cape. "We are glad to be associated with the RAIN Water for Schools Initiative and to have the opportunity of providing clean water and sanitation whilst educating learners about health, hygiene and the importance of saving water."
The Coca-Cola Company's RAIN Water for Schools initiative is a three-year initiative that will be funded and implemented by The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation working with a number of co-finance and implementing partners that include the Global Environment and Technical Foundation, Re-Solve Consulting, the Mvula Trust and the South African Department of Education.
Patrick Katsha, Deputy Principal of Homba Primary School says, "We are incredibly grateful for Coca-Cola's contribution to uplifting the standards of our school. Not only have some serious health hazards been averted, but our learners also are learning about the importance of basic hygiene whilst simultaneously becoming conscious of the importance of saving water."
The 22nd of March is World Water Day. This year's focus is specifically on water and food security. As part of the Homba Primary School RAIN Water for Schools project, rain water is collected by the school and used to water a vegetable garden which is maintained by women from the local community. The produce grown in this garden is sold, providing economic empowerment for these women.

CSI/Community Affairs
Corporate Social Investment has a pivotal role to play in bringing about meaningful transformation to the benefit of all.
The social needs facing our country are substantial and it is our moral duty to make a difference by supporting projects that benefit historically disadvantaged sectors of our society. Our contribution to the upliftment of communities through the transfer of funding, skills and education with the aim of creating sustainability makes us proud.
Community Projects
We are committed to a wide range of programmes, which support the needs of these communities in which we do business. Some of the more recent initiatives are listed below:
Lord's Acre Christian Community Centre
Lord's Acre Christian Community Centre, a joint venture between PenBev, Rotary Newlands, FRANCO and the Lord's Acre Mission was opened in May 2010, with the aim of providing support in the form of education, recreation and much-needed life skills and food to the local community of Franschhoek.
Activities include a soup kitchen, cooking, a crèche group, and a crèche management meeting facility, a computer area as well as musical instruments for band practice. A recent visit to the Lord's Acre showed that it is truly a blessing for this community.
Koinonia Wellness Centre
In October 2010, a poor community in Kuilsriver celebrated the opening of a state-of-the-art community health clinic – Koinonia Wellness Centre – that is set to provide primary healthcare to many people. The Koinonia Wellness Centre will provide primary healthcare to the surrounding community offering home based care, a school nurse, medical services and skills development thanks to the passion of a local woman and a sponsorship partnership that has spanned decades.
The visionary behind the project, Mrs. Susan Lapoorta, believes that the centre will render a holistic community healthcare service that's accessible to the people who need it most in the community and they are expecting to provide primary healthcare to hundreds of people each week since the nearest clinic is nearly 3km away.
Masakhane Grassroots Educare Centre – December 2010
The Masakhane Grassroots Educare Centre is situated in the Mbekweni Township outside Paarl. PenBev, Newlands Rotary and certain private individuals jointly sponsored this Centre. Graham Finlayson, the architect took great pride in transforming some containers into beautifully restored, lime green classrooms, which include a studio type roof and covered walkway. This is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also helps control the extreme temperatures.
The Centre now has 3 large classrooms, an admin area, kitchen and ablutions. The Centre started with 12 children as home-based care over 10 years ago and now offers facilities to over 240 toddlers, under the guidance of the Principal Joyce Mokapane. She is ecstatic with the new Centre.
The final assessment of repair work following the settling in period has been completed. The centre is in spotless condition and the children are obviously joyful and appreciating the "new" environment.
The jungle gym is fully utilised, as are the play toys and the school is in demand and the new buildings are at full capacity.
World Cup™ 2010 Community Initiatives
Learners from 18 Western Cape high schools won their share of the 20 000 FIFA World Cup™ tickets in a national schools recycling programme run by the Department of Education (DoE) and Coca-Cola in association with the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Ticket Fund.
Fuelling Fire Fighters
Fire Fighters burn an enormous amount of energy trying to keep blazes at bay during the peak summer period. In a bid to refuel and increase energy levels, PenBev proudly sponsored energy-providing Powerade and Bonaqua water to the very appreciative City of Cape Town Fire Services. This initiative is ongoing.
Nompumelelo Creche
Children have moved into their new crèche premises. Thanks to the generosity and community involvement of Worcester Minerals. Worcester Minerals has been involved with Nompumelelo since 1992 and has shown their support by donating toy boxes, mattresses and blankets.
As one of the main businesses in the area, we consider it important that we are making a contribution to the community and are improving the quality of life for local residents.
Holy Cross Toy Drive
Coca-Cola South Africa and staff at PenBev brought smiles to the children of Holy Cross Children's Home in Parow during December 2010. After staff collected and donated toys, we hosted a Christmas party where Santa and staff handed out these gifts.
The Holy Cross Home houses more than 115 children aged between 3 – 18 years from the Greater Western Cape Area. The children come from different backgrounds with some of them having been removed from situations of deprivation, abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse and abandonment.
We are extremely proud of our involvement and staff generosity because there is no better way of spreading the Christmas spirit than making a positive difference in the lives of the less fortunate.
Masiphumelele Library Outreach Centre
After a successful opening on 2nd March 2010, the Masiphumelele Library Outreach Centre is actively used by the community. Bright coloured furnishings and artwork warm the centre to create a welcoming vibe. The centre now hosts daily and weekly activities, which include:
Computer, Xhosa and literacy classes, homework clubs and more, as well as providing valuable services such as faxing and photocopying, access to studying and reading material, computers and recreational activities.
Zanempilo – August 2010
Children from Browns Farm community in Phillipi are now the proud recipients of the Coca-Cola South Africa donation of a much-needed Edutainer, school uniforms and garden equipment for a food project. Pre-school children will use the Edutainer, a 12m x 6m shipping container that has been beautifully converted to a classroom and nearly forty orphaned and vulnerable children received uniforms. Zanempilo is a non-governmental organisation on (NGO) that delivers comprehensive, holistic primary health care services to disadvantaged communities and works in partnership with the Department of Health to deliver quality home based care in Phillipi and Khayelitsha.
Community Chest
PenBev has a long-standing association with Community Chest, spanning 15 years and our involvement includes the donation of carbonated soft drinks, staging and lighting for events when needed as well as sign writing for the various events. Over the years we have proudly contributed to The Community Chest Carnival, which raises money for over 400 social welfare organisations that contribute to human care. Another huge involvement sees us sponsoring the refreshment for The Annual Twilight Run, which draws over 20 000 entrants.
Give as You Earn
Give-As-You-Earn (GAYE) or workplace giving provides PenBev employees with a simple way of making a meaningful contribution to their communities either by way of a direct dedication from their earnings, or by debit order.
In the last few years the Community Chest has raised some R600 000 per annum from employees in the workplace through Give-As-You-Earn and PenBev is extremely proud of their staff that have embraced this initiative
Deaf Community of Cape Town (DCCT)
"A community of deaf people who assist each other through self help"
Stephen Lombard, who himself is deaf, is an employee of PenBev and for the past 20 years has been seconded to the Deaf Community of Cape Town. Stephen is involved in various Public Relations programmes for the deaf community and also raises much needed fund for DCCT.
The DCCT has worked for more than 23 years and embarked on many project aimed at the development and empowerment of deaf people. Through Stephen, PenBev is able to make a positive contribution to the deaf communities in Cape Town.
Emannual Day Care Centre
Mandela Day on July 18 is an annual international day adopted by the United Nations. It is more than a celebration of Nelson Mandela's life and legacy; it is a global movement to take his life's work into a new century and change our world for the better. Mandela Day asks us all to embrace Madiba's values and honour his legacy through an act of kindness. In celebration of Mandela Day, representatives from the Blackheath Distribution Centre visited Happy Valley Creché to play with the children. Delicious soup, kindly made by the Blackheath kitchen, was served to the children, together with
fresh rolls donated by shops in the area. Coca-Cola is a registered trademark of The Coca-Cola Company © 2011 Staff spent 67 minutes on a small act of Community kindness that made a huge difference.

why ads?As with the rest of Mini's lineup for 2013, Bluetooth wireless connectivity is now standard, replacing Sirius satellite radio, which becomes an option. John Cooper Works editions are now more fuel-efficient and can be had with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Driving the marque into an entirely new market segment, the 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe raises the dynamic bar for the Mini family and sets the stage for what the automaker promises will be an expanded lineup destined to include no fewer that 10 different body styles within the next 10 years.
The fifth new model to be spun from the current Mini platform, the 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe is billed as the quickest, fastest, most agile iteration ever. In addition to being the firm's first-ever 2-seat offering, the new Cooper Coupe is also the most distinctively styled. Sharing many basic mechanical and powertrain components with its siblings, as well as the established Mini Cooper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works performance hierarchy, the new Coupe arrives on the scene as an admitted niche player. Its mission is to reach both current Mini owners as well as conquest other young, adventurous, single and mostly male buyers seeking a lower-priced alternative to cars like the Audi TT Coupe, Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class and Porsche Cayman.

Jason and Justin Sablich provide fantasy football advice and analysis throughout the season on this blog and on Twitter @5thDownFantasy.
Weekly Player Rankings
Rankings for each position will be updated each week by Thursday, up until the first game on each Sunday. See how they compare to other experts on FantasyPros.com
We look at a lot of numbers when preparing for the fantasy week, but we're not sure we've seen anything like this before.
Oddly enough, the Houston Texans' run defense and the San Francisco 49ers' run defense are all knotted up as the second best in the N.F.L. with 1,181 rushing yards allowed, a 90.8-yard average, and three rushing touchdowns surrendered apiece. How bizarre is that?
What's even crazier is that New England's Stevan Ridley matched up against the Texans last week and will face the 49ers this week. As was the case last week, he is likely to need to reach the end zone, which he has in seven straight games, in order to justify his RB2 consensus ranking.
If Ridley gains 72 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown again this week, all of his owners will vanish into the Twilight Zone and never be heard from again. Is that a risk you're willing to take?
Do you have a "start or sit" question? We are taking questions on Twitter. Follow us at @5thDownFantasy. Also, check out our complete rankings for Week 15.
Favorable Quarterback Matchups
Andrew Luck (IND) vs. Houston — Hopefully his down day against the Titans last week did not end your season; otherwise Luck is a solid candidate to quickly redeem himself against a reeling Houston secondary that has allowed an absurd 356 passing yards per game and 11 touchdown passes over the last four games.
Josh Freeman (TB) vs. New Orleans — Freeman is a popular start this week. He dropped 420 yards and three touchdowns on the Saints back in Week 7, and no team has allowed more fantasy points to quarterbacks than New Orleans this season.
Carson Palmer (OAK) vs. Kansas City — The garbage-point man posted a respectable 18-point fantasy day against the Chiefs earlier this year thanks to a pair of touchdown throws. Kansas City has allowed multiple touchdown passes in 10 games, which has propelled it to the sixth-best fantasy matchup for opposing quarterbacks in 2012.
Favorable Running Back Matchups
Reggie Bush (MIA) vs. Jacksonville — His 19 touches last week against a tough 49ers front give us hope he'll be heavily involved in a much friendlier matchup with the Jaguars, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to the position this season.
Ryan Mathews (SD) vs. Carolina — A meeting with the sixth-best running back matchup of 2012 puts Mathews, who ran the ball 25 times for 65 yards against the Steelers' stout run defense in Week 14, back into RB2 consideration this weekend.
Darren McFadden (OAK) vs. Kansas City — The ankle injury he suffered in the Denver game is a non-issue, according to him, and that's great news for his owners considering he has a date with the Chiefs' 27th-ranked rushing defense this weekend (131 yards per game, 4.6 yards per carry).
Chris Johnson (TEN) vs. Jets — If Jacksonville's fourth-string running back, Montell Owens, was capable of exploiting the Jets' shoddy run defense for 16 fantasy points last weekend, you'd like to think Chris Johnson will be able to at least find similar success against the seventh-best fantasy matchup for running backs.
Favorable Wide Receiver Matchups
Josh Gordon (CLE) vs. Washington — Gordon is averaging 101 receiving yards during his last two games, and will now match up against a Redskins defense that has yielded the second-most passing yards in the game (2,589).
Vincent Jackson (TB) vs. New Orleans — There isn't a better wideout play on paper this week as Jackson went off on this secondary for 216 yards and a touchdown (26 fantasy points) back in Week 7. The Saints are coughing up an average of 27 points to the position on the season.
Marques Colston (NO) vs. Tampa Bay — He hasn't cleared 100 receiving yards since Week 7, but a drool-worthy matchup with a helpless Tampa Bay secondary that is allowing the most fantasy points to the position (28 FPPG) could change that.
Steve Smith (CAR) vs. San Diego — The Chargers are fresh off a 23-point smackdown from Mike Wallace, and are giving up the ninth-most fantasy points to the position heading into Week 15. Smith should benefit from a rejuvenated Cam Newton and end up with a nice day of fantasy production.
Favorable Tight End Matchups
Dennis Pitta (BAL) vs. Denver — Pitta has hit pay dirt in two of his last three games and could be a useful start for the desperate this week as the Broncos have struggled against the position all season (second-best TE matchup, 10 FPPG).
Martellus Bennett (NYG) vs. Atlanta — The unicorn has found his way into the end zone in consecutive weeks and will square off with an Atlanta team that has allowed the seventh-most points to opposing tight ends this year.
Favorable Defense/Special Teams Matchup
Detroit vs. Arizona, Miami vs. Jacksonville, Seattle vs. Buffalo, Green Bay vs. Chicago
Unfavorable Quarterback Matchups
Colin Kaepernick (SF) vs. New England — Fantasy quarterbacks used to feast on the Patriots' secondary, but that has changed since the addition of Tampa Bay castoff Aqib Talib four weeks ago (13 FFPG allowed). Talib was injured during the second quarter of the 42-14 Houston rout, but he is expected to be ready for this week's game. Kaepernick's legs will make him an intriguing option on most weeks, but the Patriots have done a good job limiting some of the shiftier quarterbacks they have faced this season, allowing just 132 rushing yards to quarterbacks through 13 games.
Tony Romo (DAL) vs. Pittsburgh — The Steelers are the toughest matchup for fantasy quarterbacks (14 FPPG) and Romo's offensive line has struggled to protect him. Not to mention that his best receiver, Dez Bryant, will be at less than 100 percent with a broken finger, if he suits up at all. On the bright side, Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes against an Ike Taylor-less Steelers secondary last week, and Taylor isn't expected to return until Week 17, so there is some hope if you don't have any better options.
Jake Locker (TEN) vs. Jets — The Jets' numbers against quarterbacks have been propped up of late against the likes of Chad Henne and Ryan Lindley. But all in all, the Jets have been pretty solid against the pass this season, surrendering17 FPPG, and Locker has been so erratic, can you really trust him leading your team in a playoff week?
Matthew Stafford (DET) vs. Arizona — Surely, the snow and wind played a part in his pedestrian stat line last Sunday night. But the fact that Calvin Johnson was his only real weapon hurt him the most in the end. Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew is undergoing tests on his injured ankle, and Stafford's outlook would brighten some if Pettigrew suits up. But Arizona has been sneaky good at limiting quarterbacks all year, ranking as the fifth-toughest matchup with just 16 points allowed on average.
Unfavorable Running Back Matchups
Alex Green (GB) vs. Chicago — Green has looked a bit more spry of late, averaging five yards a tote in his last two games, and the Bears have been struggling against the run in recent weeks, but considering they have had to munch on an Adrian Peterson sandwich with a meaty Beast Mode center over the last three weeks, their struggles against the run shouldn't be too surprising. They still rank in as the third toughest matchup on the ground, and Green has yet to reach the end zone this season.
Vick Ballard (IND) vs. Houston — Houston has planted many a running back in our unfavorable category this season, and rightfully so, since it has allowed the fewest points to the position. With opponents averaging just 90 yards per game on the ground against them, you'll typically need a touchdown from your back to make for a worthwhile start, something that has happened just three times this season. The Colts' touchdown vulture Delone Carter was injured last week and as of early Wednesday his status is still unknown. His absence would leave Ballard as the only healthy back on the roster and his chances for a score would improve, but we'd still feel safer leaning on other options this weekend.
Unfavorable Wide Receiver Matchups
Kenny Britt (TEN) vs. Jets — Britt is coming off of his best performance of the season, but the good times might be short-lived as the shutdown corner Antonio Cromartie and the rest of the Jets solid secondary have allowed the fourth fewest fantasy points to receivers this season.
Stevie Johnson (BUF) vs. Seattle — Richard Sherman's appeal will be delayed, meaning he'll be active this week, which is bad news for Johnson and company. The Seahawks held Larry Fitzgerald to just one catch for 2 yards on 11 targets last weekend, and overall are the second worst fantasy matchup for wide receivers.
Torrey Smith (BAL) vs. Denver — One of the most disappointing starts last week, Smith will be hard to trust against Champ Bailey and a stout Denver secondary that has held Denarious Moore, Vincent Jackson, Steve Smith and Dwayne Bowe to a 3.75 fantasy point average over the last four weeks.
Brandon Lloyd (NE) vs. San Francisco — Lloyd draws the worst fantasy matchup in the game this week but there may be some hope for a decent WR3 day. With Julian Edelman and Donte' Stallworth done for the season, Tom Brady may need to look his way more in this one and for what it's worth, he is coming off his best performance of the season (89 yards, 1 TD).
Unfavorable Tight End Matchups
Jason Witten (DAL) vs. Pittsburgh — Jacob Tamme has been the only tight end this season to score more than nine fantasy points against the Steel Curtain, and that was all the way back in Week 1.
Jermichael Finley (GB) vs. Chicago — He was targeted just three times in last week's game against Detroit. He drew only four targets against Chicago the last time these two teams met, who are limiting the middle of the field to a six point fantasy average, which is the fifth lowest in the league.
Unfavorable Defense/Special Teams Matchups
Giants vs. Atlanta, Chicago vs. Green Bay, San Francisco vs. New England, Baltimore vs. Denver

Time of Death
by J. D. Robb
I love J D Robb and was surprised that I had not read this anthology yet. It is three novellas about Eve Dallas and the crimes she solves. It was fun to read them and see if I could figure out where they fit in the whole series. I am never disappointed in an Eve Dallas story and these did not let me down.

Superintendent Dance To Address Air Conditioning Issues
About 40 percent of county schools lack air conditioning in some classrooms.
The Board of Education has asked the new superintendent to address air conditioning issues at county schools.
Board President Larry Schmidt said Superintendent S. Dallas Dance agreed to provide a systematic review of air conditioning and other infrastructure issues at school facilities in the next couple of months at a board meeting.
"[Lack of air conditioning] is a top, top priority," Dance said.
At this point, Board President Larry Schmidt said about 40 percent of county schools have heat issues. By comparison, all Howard County public schools are properly air conditioned, said Linda Long, a representative for the neighboring county's school system.
"We have the second oldest stock of schools in the state," Schmidt said. "Solutions aren't as simple as people may think. In some cases you have to ask...can the infrastructure in the school support air conditioning?"
Baltimore County Public Schools provided Patch with a document from July 27, 2011—which is attached to this article—that breaks down the air conditioning status at every school.
County Executive Kevin Kamenetz's budget for fiscal year 2013 has allotted money to provide air conditioning for 12 public schools. Patch county politics reporter Bryan Sears previously reported that county officials have said it would cost between $400 and $450 million to install air conditioning in schools that are without it.
Ellen Kobler, a county spokeswoman, said it's too early to say which schools will receive funds in fiscal year 2014.
"We choose the ones that can get [air conditioning] the most quickly, at the lowest expense," Kobler said. "This way, the most schools are being taken care of."
This is little comfort to Denise Avara, president of the Parent Teacher Association at Westowne Elementary School in Catonsville.
As an older facility—Westowne opened in 1951—Avara is concerned that the school system will continue to overlook the elementary school.
"Our kids are really suffering," Avara said. "This is really not fair to them."
Avara said parents at Westowne are concerned that the heat makes it difficult for students to concentrate and they are returning home dripping in sweat.
And the situation could get much more dangerous, said Jean Suda, an advocate for air conditioned classrooms.
In September 2007, Suda's son was hospitalized at Greater Baltimore Medical Center for chest pains.
The boy had spent the day at Ridgely Middle School, where he was a student. At the time, the school had classrooms without air conditioning.
"We were scared that he was having a stroke or a heart attack," Suda said. "It was in the high-90s outside, so it felt much worse in the school."
Suda said her son was diagnosed with dehydration and released from the Towson hospital about three hours after admission.
Although her son has since graduated from Ridgely—which received air conditioning in fall 2011—the experience was enough to make Suda a staunch advocate for heat issues in Baltimore County public schools.
"It took four years after I started advocating for Ridgely to get this problem resolved," Suda said. "It's unacceptable."

It is an expensive infrastructure nightmare. Schools have to be completely overhauled. It's not as simple as dropping a window unit in every classroom.

The tidal wave of angry citizens is really sounding the bell for political education leaders in this county.
The real question is, what the hell were they doing for the past 15-20 years? Sleeping on the job?

It makes me angry to hear this, when in the next breath, BCPS announces that they are building new schools. Let's fix (and where possible, expand) those schools we DO have, before embarking on the building of new schools.
Jessica Tartal

It's even more infuriating that the people making the choices about which schools are getting AC and which aren't, are doing so from their air conditioned offices. Spend a 95 degree day in one of my children's sweltering class rooms and do your work from there!
Karen Williams

Oh the luxury problems, as a grad of bcps and a child who attended one of the oldest schools in balto co. carroll manor, yes it got hot, but we dealt with it, teacher would take the class outside under the trees, we could sit the the shade, in the grass, feeling the light breeze. I think that air conditioning is not a priority, but then again I am not in charge... I find that kids today are a bit spoiled, mine included... I mean really, my 1st grader is begging for her own smartphone and tablet... When I waa her age the most I begged for was a bicycle and a babydoll... Oh how times have changed.... And at just under 40, I feel ancient....
11:14 am on Wednesday, July 25, 2012
I remember those days to, but that was back in the days when you had the extra staff to monitor the playgrounds, when you didn't have to worry about a child getting hurt because it was an insurance matter if they did get hurt. That was back in the days when there was equipment for the children to play with. I'm just saying that times have changed to the detriment of the children. Administration would rather have the children stay inside because they feel that it's safer or less strain on the budget and less time in litigation because of playground accidents. In the long run, look what it's cost schools because they were over zealous to meet the budget constraints and the demands of other groups. Children might be safer inside for a lot of reasons, but they forgot that by not allowing them outside for something as simple as recess they were putting the children at risk if not more because the schools were not air conditioned. Basically, they threw out the child with the bathwater.

Karen - I, too, attended a non-air conditioned BCPS school and survived. But what is not obvious unless you spend a lot of time in a school on hot days is that the windows are being replaced in these old schools and the new windows are designed for air conditioned spaces (as are all windows nowadays). Ridgely Middle School had a $13M renovation recently which included new windows -- only 50% of the windows were designed to open and they only opened 6". When schools were designed long ago without a/c, all windows were designed to open and they all opened a full 3' OR swung open a full 90 degrees. Safety does not permit that anymore. We wouldn't keep our dog in a hot car with the windows only opened 6" and we shouldn't do it to our children.

This comes down to a safety and health issue and providing our children with an environment that is conducive to learning. Period! I work at Lutherville Lab and the temperatures in those classrooms can reach 90+ degrees in August, September, part of October, part of April, May, and June. Trying to function in a work environment like this is impossible and when the staff is miserable then the children don't get what they need from the staff. If you are not personally subjected to working conditions such as these, then I really don't think anyone has a right to oppose air conditioning in schools that don't have it.
9:20 pm on Wednesday, July 25, 2012
Great point BCP! Most people,don't realize this about the newer windows. They barely open and don't allow any air to circulate. In the good old days, those top windows swung way out along with the bottom ones. When I taught I kept the lights off and had three fans cranking away and it wasn't too bad. Now, it would be like teaching in a greenhouse.
We should close down schools by Memorial Day and open after labor day anyway. No real it teaching or learning takes place in June or May. We all know it but we buy into the idea that the number of school days really makes a difference - its BS. Education is about quality and not quantity.
9:07 am on Thursday, July 26, 2012
I just want to emphasize something that is often overlooked in comment threads related to A/C in school, and that is that we are not *just* talking about "spoiled" kids suffering in the heat (as if that weren't enough) but all of the teachers, teachers aides, volunteers, cafeteria workers, etc. Some of these employees are pregnant, elderly, or have health conditions. They are not sitting in air-conditioned offices -- they are in the classrooms, gyms, crowded cafeterias with these students. What other indoor work environment can you think of that does not provide temperature control for its workers nowadays? Times change, and we are more aware now of the issues with poor air quality, in addition to the other changes mentioned in the other posts (time spent indoors, academic expectations, testing requirements, style of windows, litigation, etc.) Updating schools to accommodate air conditioning may not be "easy," but it past time that it become a priority.

Additionally, I would choose other school districts to live and work in if I was reli acting to the area. I could see the quality of the neighborhoods go down if this ancient practice continues, in light of no fans, new windows, stricter school board rules, allowing less teacher and student freedom and how we are in generally warmer climes these days. Additionally, there will be less good teachers as they will choose schools with better work environments.
I think the cost of operating window units is higher than central a.c. and it is louder in the room, too.
9:55 am on Thursday, July 26, 2012
What's crazy is it can be just as bad in the winter! Some rooms are so hot the kids feel like they are dying - they go to the next class and its freezing. This is what happens when contract goes tomthenlow bidder or pal of the school board.
Meg O'Hare

Citizens should be outraged that the Baltimore County School Board = Baltimore County Government did not air condition schools when times were good. No building happens without Baltimore County Government participation (read control). For many years, Baltimore County Government ignored the aging schools until it was almost too late.
Two elementary schools were built in Baltimore County in the mid 1990's without air conditioning, specifically Seven Oaks Elementary and Joppa View Elementary, both in Perry Hall I think. This is unconscionable.
Oh well, the school where Larry Schmidt's wife teaches is scheduled to get air conditioning soon.
Time to get a fully elected school board. Real citizens who are not influenced by politicians because school board elections are non partisan. If we can be trusted to elect president, governors, U.S senators, congressmen, state senators and delegares, County Executives and County Councilmen/women, I guess we can make informed decisons about who should be on the Baltimore County Board of Education.

the hottest, sexiest, most desirable species on the planet.
can seduce any living human being (with the exception of the gay man) with a solitary glance. usually pass as straight but when seen romantically with another woman all jaws in the vicinity drop. John (straight): Holy shit! Did you just see that lipstick lesbian? Uhhh I think I need to excuse myself to the restroom for a moment...
Sara (straight): Wow look at that lipstick lesbian! She is really beautiful. I can't believe she is gay.. I really want to have sex with her! Lindsay (lesbian): Heelllllllllooooooo lipstick lesbian! |
1. | lipstick lesbian | ||
feminine lesbian who is attracted to other feminine lesbians. they generally enjoy fashion, flowers, perfume, sex and the city, lingerie, lipstick of course, and (gasp!) passionate sex with other women. "If I wanted to date someone who looked like a man, I'd find a man. Where are all the lipstick lesbians?"
2. | lipstick lesbian | ||
A feminine lesbian. It can be used interchangably with femme to indicate a feminine lesbian, but strictly speaking, a femme is usually attracted to masculine, or butch, lesbians and a lipstick lesbian is attracted to other feminine lesbians.
Often thought of as demure, submissive creatures, many, if not all femmes and lipstick lesbians are quite strong, independant women. Hmm, what's this? Sex and the City, hairstyle and fashion magazines, satin curtains, a dress spread out on the bed... a picture of two kissing women dressed in Edwardian style? Looks like I've stumbled into a lipstick lesbian's love nest.

1.A lesbian who knows that you can look like a girl and still date them.
2.A type of lesbian that loves getting her hair and nails done, shopping, and cute shoes, but still only prefers the company of other feminine women. 3. The best type of woman on the planet. 4. A lesbian who refuses to date butches/studs because they are just like men to her. 5. A lesbian who rejects anything masculine. 6. An ultra-gay lesbian, almost as gay as the stud-on-stud lesbian. I am a lipstick lesbian because I put on eyeliner, a skirt and heels to go to the club and look pretty so I can possibly meet another girl that put on eyeliner, a skirt and heels for the club.
6. | Lipstick Lesbian | ||
A Lipstick Lesbian is a stereotype subset of lesbians. They are usually high fashion and wear make-up (something not generally associated with lesbians). Because they dress this way they will "appear straight", but are only interested in women. She wore high heels, makeup and all the boys loved her, but they'd never know she was a Lipstick Lesbian and only interested in women.
