The owner of Omar's Barbershop, at 3741 Washington Road in Martinez, told authorities that someone stole his car from the barbershop parking lot early Wednesday. He had left the 2007 Ford Mustang in the lot in front of the business at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, and the car was missing when a salesperson arrived to open the business Wednesday morning.
Several new candidates for Columbia County offices and other local races emerged by the time qualifying for the 2012 elections closed at noon Friday.
Especially crowded are the School Board races, with two challengers lining up to run in District 4 against incumbent Roxanne Whitaker, and two of three expected candidates filing to run for the vacant District 1 seat.
A 12-year-old Evans boy was sent to an area hospital as a precaution today after the golf car on which he and another boy were riding flipped in an Evans neighborhood.
The boy, along with a 13-year-old, was riding the vehicle on nature trails inside the Sumter Landing subdivision, off Mullikin Road, about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday when the vehicle swerved off the trail, hit a stump and overturned, said Columbia County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Brockman.

Former Columbia County commissioner Scott Dean is seeking a retrial on his conviction for child molestation.
A hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on June 15 before Superior Court Judge James G. Blanchard Jr., where the judge will hear a motion for a new trial.
Dean's attorney, Pete Theodocion, filed the motion on Feb. 23.
The motion must be filed within 30 days of the conviction, Blanchard said.
If Blanchard denies the motion, Dean can appeal that decision, said Assistant District Attorney Parks White.
Two Harlem teens were arrested late Tuesday in connection to a recent armed robbery of two teens in Martinez.
Deontay Lemarcus Green, 17, of Tolbert Drive, was charged with armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Jeffrey Taylor Ray, 18, of Joy Road, was charged with making false statements.

Anil Dash: the Tags are like DeepLeap for Office, the potential is amazing
DinahSanders: Whoa.
DinahSanders: 'scuse me
Anil Dash: I was talking to Bryan Boyer about it tonight, and i told him not to look at the documentation, because he'll cry
DinahSanders: <keanu>Whoa.</keanu>
Anil Dash: nice :)
Anil Dash: there should be a universal Keanu Whoa indicator
DinahSanders: kWhoa.
Anil Dash: perhaps its own HTML tag, since you can't really separate that content from its presentation
DinahSanders: Yeah, something that makes it green droppy letters.
Anil Dash: exactly. although it may have to gracefully degrade to a Bill & Ted font
DinahSanders: *snork*
Anil Dash: heh, i think i'm gonna have to post this little exchange to my site :)
DinahSanders: You should do that.

Vanessa Moody stars in Michael Kors SS16 ad campaign
Meanwhile, Aneta Pajak and Grace Hartzel front the MICHAEL Michael Kors campaign
Michael Kors has two surprises for us today. The first is his Spring Summer 2016 ad starring Vanessa Moody and the second is a campaign for his MICHAEL Michael Kors line. Both campaigns were shot by Mario Testino.
In the first campaign, Vanessa lies in the back seat of a red convertible car and wears an eyelet-studded dress, embodying the modern, relaxed vibe of the romantic collection.
"I was thinking about optimistic blue skies and the American West, and about women who are strong and sexy at the same time," Michael said in a statement. "This collection balances a romantic softness with relaxed menswear tailoring in a way that's naturally glamorous."
In the second campaign, Aneta Pajak and Grace Hartzel take a cruise in Beverly Hills on a very sunny day, making a case for the summery denim and floral-printed tops. In contrast to Vanessa's campaign, these two represent the sub-label's more casual side.

Last 3 death coils i did in pvp have done 0 healing.
Is anyone else having similar problems?
Last 3 death coils i did in pvp have done 0 healing.
Is anyone else having similar problems?
Most probably absorbed/missed or you died before the heal bounced back.
were you useing on an undead target like your ghoul or yourself with Lichborn active?
or are you a warlock?
no it works off of the dmg dealt... if you dont deal any dmg you wont get healed i believe. you are thinking of the DK version if it "heals only undead"...
from wowhead
Causes the enemy target to run in horror for 3 sec and causes 670 Shadow damage. The caster gains 300% of the damage caused in health.
dk version
Fire a blast of unholy energy, causing 443 Shadow damage to an enemy target or healing 664.5 damage from a friendly Undead target.
only thing i can think of, and i wont be able to confirm it until i get off work and try it on my lock.. is that your Deathcoil was hitting a absorb affect of some sort.. shield or something, or was possibly resisted... thereby doing 0 dmg, and healing 0.. wont know till i try it vs a priest with bubble. seeing as this was posted in the lock forums i'm going to assume you are a warlock, and this is the only solution i can come up with from work.
if you are a dk, i have no idea as i dont play one.
"Stop," said a loud booming voice.* And Rhonin turned around to see it was Bolvar Fordragon, but he was all burned up and shit.* He took the helm from Tirion.* "I can take no comfort anymore, in the world of the living, for Arthas has burned my genitals off.* I shall bear the burden.* I shall be the jailer of the damned." - Legendary Knaak Thread
I know on my lock it's really annoying whenever I shoot a death coil and the target goes to low health when it hits so I get barely any healing if any other than that and bubble/sheilds/other absorb affects I havn't had any problems
Amazing how many question if he is a Warlock or a DK.
I really struggle to comprehend that some people would -
1) Not even know the answer to this question
2) Actually spend time writing and still not know the answer to this question
3) Actually ASK this question in the first place
No wonder there are so many fail PUG'S in the game.
its a warlock since its been posted in warlock forum.. so next time READ WHERE YOU A!!! OR GTFO :P :POriginally Posted by acidburn
As others have stated, Death Coil heals based on the damage it deals: if it missed, was resisted, the damage was mitigated, or the like... little to no heals for you. Watch for paladin bubbles, DK anti-magic shells/zones, priest shields, warlock shadow resistance, and the like.
Also, keep in mind that Mortal Strike type effects can reduce effective healing to you: losing 50% of a Death Coil heal can make it seem very, very small.
... and, of course, if you're taking damage (DoTs, someone sniping at you, someone beating on you, etc.), it might seem like there's no healing coming back, just because your life is bleeding out quickly.

By Abiola Inniss LLB, LLM, ACIArb The Guyana low carbon development strategy has been hailed internationally for its innovative attempt at mitigating the damage inflicted by carbon emissions globally. It is perhaps even laudable that Guyana's President Bharrat Jagdeo, Champion of the Earth 2010, has sought to vigorously promote the development and adoption of this strategy in Guyana as a sustainable means of livelihood for its citizens.
At first glance it has a prima facie appearance of a solid, workable alternative to the traditional means of forestry based productivity, complete with value added products, in addition to which, a few interested developed countries such as Norway have given financial commitments in exchange for carbon credits. Simply put, in exchange for leaving our forests intact as far as possible we are to be given sums of money that will ensure that the ability of our people to earn a living is not reduced.
There is some talk of value added products which will come from carefully monitored sustainable forest harvesting, though exactly what these products may be is yet to be defined. The issue of greatest concern and interest however is that this bilateral agreement with Norway does not seem to have a readily identifiable legal and regulatory framework to which Guyanese may apply for guidance on such matters as intellectual property rights, trade rights and the rights and mechanisms of redress for breaches of fundamental business law issues within the ambit of the Low Carbon Development Strategy.
The Memorandum of Understanding and concept note between Guyana and Norway give some indication of the mechanisms for the monitoring of the funds coming from Norway and the standards which are to be met in order that funding might be sustained. It is clear however that it is for Guyana to implement the necessary mechanisms for development of this strategy.
Thus far there have been seven factors considered to be essential to maintaining this arrangement namely: the strategic framework, which deals with the consistent development of a method of sustainable forest management; continuous multi-stakeholder consultations, special reference to Amerindian communities as they are situated in the forested areas and are immediately affected; governance, including relevant legislation and monitoring processes; MRV (monitoring , reporting and verification) processes on emission and removal of carbon from the forests; rights of indigenous people as regards the REDD agreement and, finally, annual assessment and verification.
It is under the governance factor that the requirement for the necessary legislation and legal framework which will see the successful implementation of the LCDS that there is this manqué. Perhaps the architects of the LCDS prefer to allow the ideas expressed in the documents outlining it to first develop, and then to create some kind of legal framework around them or adjunctive to them with the passing of time.
Perhaps this approach is informed by distaste for legal technicians and their craft. However, there is yet to be found across the world, any example of technical arrangements of the nature and magnitude of the Guyana LCDS, which does not have a tightly constructed legal and regulatory framework that provides guidance on the general and specific aspects of business law, such as intellectual property, trade and industry, consumer law and regulation and international trade law.
It is startling therefore that there seems to be little attention to the issue of legislation required for the LCDS to function properly. The general tendency across CARICOM seems to favour a piecemeal approach to the region-wide legal regulation of matters to do with the CSME and it would be a wasted opportunity for Guyana should it not seize the chance, to set the trend of thorough, rigorous construction of substantial and holistic legal regulatory mechanisms, which incorporate dispute resolution fora comprising competent, expert authorities.
It is not difficult to establish a legal and regulatory framework for the LCDS because the scope of the plan encompasses the major areas which will be covered by it. Almost immediately the legal technician can recognize that the interrelationship of traditional knowledge of the Amerindian peoples (this will fall under intellectual property law) local and international trade law (dealing with local and international trade rules and regulations) and public international law, which is applicable to the Norway-Guyana agreement, will have to be considered in the creation of such a framework.
It will also be recognized that environmental law, particularly international environmental law, will have to be included in the new legislation which will deal with carbon emissions and carbon removal.
There is also the necessity to deal with the resolution of disputes through the methods that currently exist and by the creation of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, such as arbitral tribunals. Guyana would significantly augment its general legal system by establishing a National Arbitration Board similar to that found in Singapore and other parts of Asia, which deal with the resolution of complex technical industry specific disputes.
The Low Carbon development strategy will certainly have a fair share of disputes ranging from traditional knowledge rights and other aspects of intellectual property, to trade rights, accounting and economic issues. In following the example of the Competition Appeal Tribunal of the United Kingdom, which was established in 2003, and which deals with a range of issues in economics, law, business and accountancy, the Guyana LCDS will have a sturdy monitoring forum.
It is clear that the effective working of the LCDS will require a high level of efficiency and management as has been dictated by the current donor, Norway, and which is an essential part of the arrangement. Guyanese as well as the international onlookers to whom it is hoped the LCDS idea will appeal, need to be assured that the LCDS is workable and demonstrates a workable legal and regulatory frame which will hold it together.
In its current state the LCDS expresses a looseness of character akin to a growing unmannerly but bright child, who without the necessary correction, control and discipline will lose all of the advantage of a privileged position, become a nuisance and burden on society, or may not grow up at all. A properly constructed, well thought out legal frame work is necessary for this grand design to work.

Although most wedding experts will tell you that it takes roughly 12-16 months to plan a wedding, not every couple has that long before their wedding for planning. There are so many things involved to make sure you get to have the wedding of your dreams. The best tool for helping you accomplish your goals every step of the way is a wedding planning checklist. It's always a good idea to map out everything you need to do ahead of time so you can stay on track of the wedding planning process. The suggestions here can be condensed to fit any kind of schedule, simply do the important things first.
Before creating any type of wedding planning checklist, it's important to work out a budget, find out exactly how much you are willing to spend. If you think the planning should be done by professional, look for a wedding planner and go over the details of your wedding with her. If you can't afford to hire a wedding planner or would rather do everything yourself, remember to keep everything organized. Create a binder with all of your research, contracts, etc. Use a day planner to schedule important appointments. After the initial prep work, it's time to get started. Continue reading

|#1 Ray Allen – (1993-1996)

Ray Allen is the greatest three-point shooter in the history of the game of basketball. That's right. I said it. His skill is unquestionable; his preparation is legendary. Despite only three years at UConn, he managed to score nearly 2,000 points. He is also the all-time leader in three-point shooting percentage. Allen is without a doubt the most successful former Husky to play in the NBA. In his final year in Storrs, he was named the 1996 Big East player of the year, and a First Team All-American. And who can forget that amazing off-balance game-winning shot against Allen Iverson and Georgetown in the 1996 Big East Championship.

by Peter Bard
Rd 5, defeated #1 Donyell Marshall, 225-218
Rd 4, defeated #3 Khalid El-Amin, 136-11
Rd 3, defeated #5 Hasheem Thabeet, 137-2
Rd 2, defeated #8 Kevin Ollie, 142-14
Rd 1, defeated #16 Johnnie Selvie, 197-8
Where to start? Walker came to UConn a blisteringly fast whirling dirvish of a point guard. He lacked discipline, but would make plays that just made you shake your head. His sophomore year, while statistically impressive, was a disappointment for the team, as they missed the NCAA tournament.
Heading into the 2010-2011 season, UConn was looking at another down year. Outside of Walker and sophomore F/C Alex Oriakhi, there was almost no experience on the roster, as the team generally started those two alongside three freshmen.
And then, Kemba happened. I couldn't even begin to guess what the signature moment was for Walker that season. I read an article before they played Wichita State in the third game of the season that assured me that it wouldn't be an upset when UConn lost. Of course, UConn won. And then they won again, against #2 Michigan State, thanks in no small part to Kemba's 30 points. When he scored 29 the next day in an 84-67 drubbing of Kentucky, he'd scored 90 points in three days, and UConn had vaulted from having received 0 votes in the first poll of the season to being #7 in the country as of the second poll.
There were, of course, ups and downs, as UConn struggled through a very tough league schedule, with some highlights along the way (that circus three-pointer against #1 Texas being the among most memorable). Kemba's legend was cemented in tournament play that year, when he carried the team to Big East Tournament and NCAA titles through what appeared to be sheer force of will. He ended his career 7th all-time in scoring, 6th in steals, and 10th in assists, and he set a program record his junior year with 965 points.

Who Took Our Poll?Top
Design TrendsTop
Well, the built-in rectification in recent models results in AC to DC conversion eliminates profound amounts of labor during installation. This hammers the bottom line down quite a bit and this is great.
Optical current transformer technology is most influencing current transformer design. Due to the almost same accuracy over the entire range of measurement from mA to kA range.
Since current sensing is a proven technology, we can not specify any particular company. There are many players in the market. When package units are considered, you can trust companies like Siemens.
Applications and UseTop
Wide bandwidth true floating voltage measurements. Elimination of ground problems, nearly optimal device. Easier to construct compared to voltage probes. I love them. Not many understand these. Good for hunting noise currents. Limitless uses.
AC current measurements in AC induction motors, Auto transformers ,Heaters and rectifier transformers etc. ACCT. DC current measurements in the Silicon controlled rectifiers with DCCT and Shunt etc.
We have developed and are using DCCT to measure DC currents from 0 to 6000 Amps. Development work is in progress to measure 30000 Amps DC. We are also using 8000 Amps ACCT.
For recording the generator voltage build up characteristics & sudden load throw off characteristics.
Accuracy over a wide range of DC components. For automotive power seats lumbar motors draw from 0.3 amps nominal, stall at 3.5 amps. The same power wires are monitored for some heater and larger motors where it may go over 20 amps.
Plain and simple DC output reflecting the RMS value of the AC Current. Real RMS would be very helpful. Superb galvanic isolation is a must.
-Always spec your desired end result, such as % accuracy at a rated load across a given temperature and frequency range. -Give the supplier breathing room at both ends of the current range if higher accuracy isn't needed to prevent overly expensive cores. -Ensure you know if there is a linearity requirement along with the accuracy.
Always specify your application and environment to manufacturer; they can guide you in a better way. Openly discuss with them your problems.
Buying AdviceTop
If you need a quick response, choose carefully - some of these are designed to monitor loads over a longer time and do not react quickly.
Always buy from Standard companies as they are with up to date technology.

Howard's visit to bomb victims hits a rough patch
Page Tools
Mercy mission ... John Howard visits Louise Barry in London
yesterday. Ms Barry was one of the Australians injured in the
city's bombing attack.
Photo: Pool
The Prime Minister has been put on the spot by an Australian casualty of the London bombings, Louise Barry, who asked whether he thought the attack was triggered by the Iraq war.
John Howard flew to London from Washington yesterday and went to the bedsides of two Australian bombing victims, Ms Barry and Gillian Hicks.
Mr Howard said he was inspired by the courage and spirit of the two women. Ms Hicks told him of her wedding plans, prompting him to say: "She is an absolute inspiration, given what she has been through."
Ms Hicks, 37, had her two legs amputated as a result of injuries she suffered in a terrorist blast on the Tube.
Ms Barry, 29, from Port Stephens, was caught in the Tavistock Square bomb blast. She suffered serious neck injuries but was expected to be discharged from University College hospital this week.
When asked about Ms Barry's question about what might have provoked the bombings, Mr Howard said the terrorists were driven by a "perverted and twisted and incorrect depiction of extreme Islamism".
He said he could not say the blasts were caused by the war in Iraq, just as the war was not the cause for the Bali bombings.

Spider-Man: Edge of Time Preview
Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions was a darn good game. It wasn't up to the elite level of Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum but then again, few titles could live up to such polish and overall excellence. Generally speaking, Beenox's superhero effort was stable, solid, entertaining, and actually quite lengthy. It provided fans with four distinct looks at the web-slinging Peter Parker and two of them will return for the next effort, Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Scheduled to release later this year, the new game asks Spidey to save himself, as he must travel back and forth – as the Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 – to avoid this terrible tragedy. Some Alchemax Scientist does the dirty deed, and he's gotta pay.
After checking out early media and info for the game, it's easy to conclude the following: if you enjoyed last year's effort, there's little doubt you'll enjoy Edge of Time. And that's primarily because, in addition to the two returning "characters," the gameplay will be quite similar. The fast, accessible action will return, and we're willing to bet they'll amp up the combat depth. Plus, we'll get plenty of new highlights, like when Spider-Man 2099 goes flying/falling down a tunnel, and he must dodge all sorts of objects and locate passageways…on the fly, so-to-speak. The rest of the gameplay will focus on the aforementioned fighting and a fair amount of platforming; we're just hoping the camera is a bit more reliable this time around. It was a little wonky before.
The webhammer will be back and we're also guessing the Sphere Grid-like ability enhancement and advancement system will return as well. Okay, it wasn't anywhere near as complex as the mechanic in FFX; it just reminded me of that feature. Also, we can expect all new, more challenging foes and a toned-up visual presentation, complete with fresh locations to explore and conquer. As for the story, that remains up in the air: it's not that the story was poor in Shattered Dimensions; it just felt erratic and almost pointless at times, probably due to all the jumping around between time periods. But this time there are only two specific eras (we think) and the plot sounds more urgent and gripping. In some ways, it sorta reminds me of Shadow of Destiny, when you had to go back in time to stop your own murder.
Of course, there was no combat in Eike's adventure; it was all about puzzle-solving on a grand scale. In this case, the action takes center-stage and that's just fine. Beenox is bringing back two of the four voice actors from Shattered Dimensions, too: Josh Keaton (who played Ultimate Spider-Man) now has the role of the Amazing Spider-Man and Christopher Daniel Barnes (he played Noir Spider-Man) will take on Spider-Man 2099. So in most every way, Edge of Time seems to look, feel and sound a whole lot like the last Spidey installment. But that's hardly a bad thing and besides, we get a new story and new locations, so it'd be a mistake to assume this is a sequel or rehash. It's an all-new adventure and one that should satisfy the hardcore fans. I think.

I'm actually going to return my used copy so I can reward the devs in my sentimental way by buying a new copy. And I'll have my eye on the next one as well.

I too enjoy Shattered Dimensions more than I did with Arkham, although I do see the obvious quality difference between the two. But Marvel is my "home turf", I hardly know any DC characters at all.
What I'd love to see is a merge of the best from Shattered Dimensions and Friend or Foe. That'd be the *ultimate* Spidey game...!

yea i did, the noire and 2033 spidys were good but switching from universe to universe, character to character spoiled it for me.
i wish they would go back to how 2 was.
heaps of combos to upgrade.
the smooth slick controls to freestyle the city.
heaps of side missions to complete helping the cops, or damsel in distress.
the really cool fun missions.
and of course kick a$$ boss battles!
thats one thing thats disappeared this gen, allot of games are just skipping bosses all together!
there the perfect way to switch up the gameplay, and stop the game from getting repetitive.
the best part of allot of games are the boss battles.
i mean GOW3 would be mediocre crap without the boss battles!

Valkyrie Pushed Back… Again
- By
- 14 Comments
A WWII thriller directed by an acclaimed filmmaker (who is responsible for two major superhero franchises, no less), starring an international cast (including a box-office super-star turned public punchline) and featuring an awesome trailer.
Is this really a film you want to dump in the "film wasteland" of February?
Apparently, that's the mindset over at MGM/United Artists.
For the second time now, Bryan Singer's Valkyrie has been pushed back; this time to February 13, 2009 where it will face off against Disney's Confessions of a Shopaholic and Sony's Pink Panther 2.
The film was originally slated for an August 8th release, then it was bumped to June 27th before it settled on October 3. But at least that move made sense.
Summer is just too damn competitive for a WWII-themed project to have any real chance of making an impact commercially. On the other hand, October opens up its Oscar-chances as well as box-office potential.
So why the sudden change to next February?
Oh, it's to "take advantage of an opening in the schedule for the President's Day weekend."
Uh yeah, sure it is.
The film must be terrible. There's simply no other explanation or way the studio can effectively spin this.

Morning and happy Wednesday! This is my first day of work this week due to strep throat, but I am happy to be going back. I am feeling great and ready to get back into a routine. I was also happy to eat some solid foods yesterday! Sunday and Monday, my eats were primarily applesauce, yogurt, popcicles, soup, and tea due to my very angry throat. Yesterday I took full advantage of my ability to swallow without pain and had some great eats. I didn't do a whole lot of snacking because the antibiotics I am on haven't been best friends with my stomach so my appetite has been skewed a bit. Ok, onto the eats!
My newest creation:
I tried out a new creation with my newest favorite ingredient, biscuits! I stuffed these with scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, and cheddar cheese for a real breakfast treat! This breakfast biscuit recipe is super simple and very customizable. I can't wait to make another batch with turkey sausage. They are a great on the go breakfast and only 160 calories each!
*It's really important that the eggs and bacon are cooked ahead of time and cooled before making these biscuits. If they are hot, they soften the dough and it's a nightmare to fold the dough.
This batch will be my breakfast for the week. 🙂 It's a nice change from the quiche or scones I have been eating the past few weeks! I have been heating them up, so the cheese gets melty and the biscuit is soft. yummmmmm. I enjoyed one yesterday morning, hot out of the oven with some fresh fruit. These berries look much better than they taste, but oh well.
For lunch I was still craving some bacon so I made a turkey bacon club salad filled with romaine, avocado, tomato, turkey bacon, and topped with fat free ranch. Again, I haven't had the best appetite this week so this filled me up!
Yesterday was a gorgeous day. I had the sliding glass door open all afternoon to let the fresh air in and the sick air out and all I was craving was grilled meat. It's amazing how weather can influence your taste buds! I pulled out a few chicken breasts, smothered them in bbq sauce, and tossed them on the grill for dinner. While they were grilling I cooked up a side of couscous, (Nolan's favorite side), steamed some frozen vegetables, and yes, I enjoyed a beer from a local brewery here in town. Grilling always makes me thirsty. 😉
Nolan gave me a phenomenal compliment, saying that the chicken was grilled perfectly. IDK why he is still so surprised by my cooking skills after all these years. But he was definitely right. It was the perfect way to end the day, and I have tons of leftover grilled chicken to use throughout the week. 🙂
-What have you been eating this week?
-What are you most looking forward to eating this spring/summer?
-Do you crave certain flavors during spring?

Slide the City 2015 postponed
Huisgenoot, YOU and Drum announces Slide the City events will no longer take place this year in light of one of South Africa's driest seasons in recent years.
The severity of the drought that has hit South Africa has led the organisers of Slide the City to postpone the event.
"Although every effort was made to ensure there would be no water wastage we take water conservation extremely seriously. We are all well aware of the severity of the drought and we wouldn't want anyone to think otherwise," says Minette Ferreira, general manager of Huisgenoot, YOU and Drum.
The events, scheduled for various cities in South Africa, would have drawn on non-drinkable water that would then have been recycled after use and distributed where most needed in the host cities.
Experts have highlighted the benefits of the event. "I would rather ask whether they are employing local people and contributing to the economy," said Simon Bundy of SDP Ecological and Environmental Services, an organisation operating in the environmental sector since 1999. The tourism industry, for example, would have benefited in the cities where Slide the City would have been hosted.
The volumes of water that would have been used would be miniscule, Bundy adds. "I don't think it would make much of a difference if you use it for something else."
Jannie de Villiers, head of Grain SA agrees. "What will happen if you give 35 000 litres of water to a farmer? It won't make a difference. Perhaps it will for a household but it will make no difference to the agricultural sector."
However, as proudly South African brands Huisgenoot, YOU and Drum believe all South Africans should be focused on conserving water and Slide the City might detract from this message.
"We know many people will be disappointed at the postponement given our ticket sales but we believe this decision is the right way to go as we all do our bit for water conservation in South Africa," Ferreira said.
People who have bought tickets can hold onto theirs until a new date is announced or get an immediate refund.
For an immediate refund:
- Go to a Shoprite/Checkers/House&Home and Computicket stores if you've printed or collected your ticket for a full refund.
- If you haven't printed your ticket contact the Computicket call centre at 0861-915-8000 to get a refund on your credit card.

Excellent Large Property By The Beach and Marina
3 bedrooms | Apartment | Beach | Alboraya
Property: 85 m²
Price: €155,000 Euros.
Lots of people dream of living overlooking a Marina with sea views and plenty of space for all of the family when they visit. Port Saplaya apartments in Valencia allow this idea to come to fruition.
This third floor flat is unusual for the area in that it has three bedrooms, two doubles and a long twin, and two bathrooms, one en suite to the main bedroom and another full bathroom off the hall. The kitchen would be better incorporated into the living room to give a larger space and if you only need two bedrooms then the twin could also become a part of the living area. The terrace off the living room faces south and looks towards the local hypermarket and has restaurants below.
There is even an optional garage space with this property for 15k extra and that is not only a decent price but it is also extremely convenient because car parking nearby can be difficult especially in the summer. Third floor with a lift, excellent value and with great facilities. Give it a clean and a facelift and you have an excellent beachside pad just 4km to the North of Valencia city.
Council tax around 650 euros per year, community 150 euros every three months and 200 euros a year for use of the pool and facilities of Port Saplaya.

This is not one of those healthy desserts that I so love. This is one of those "I really need a chocolate fix, and not just any chocolate fix, something over the top" desserts that I indulge on just a few times a year.
When my family and I took the opportunity to turn a library day into a full blown out on the town, let's take our books and have some lunch then go to a movie day; the restaurant we visited happened to be serving molten lava cake. The smell of this beautiful, luxurious dish permeated the air and sent my chocolate cravings into a tizzy. Obviously I could not enjoy what was so readily available…no amount of deliciousness is worth getting horrifically sick over (a lesson I learned early on), but the desire to partake simply would not leave me, no matter how hard I fought it.
The next day, after church and Sunday naps, the overwhelming need to create this dish would not go away.
So I gave in.
And you know what? I was amazed at how easily this came together.
Five ingredients. Well, six if you add the raspberries or strawberries I suggest…but the cake itself only has five ingredients.
Go ahead, splurge. This quick and easy dessert is so decadent, no one will ever guess how little time you actually spent putting it together.
You'll be the talk of the town, the queen of the kitchen… the envy of all those around you.
Have your cake and eat it, better yet, have your cake and love it, too. 😉
Molten Lava Cake (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Grain-Free, Soy-Free)
1c Coconut Oil
4 Eggs
¼ c Coconut Flour
¼ c Palm Sugar
Preheat oven to 350f. Grease 4-6oz ramekins, set aside. In microwave safe large mixing bowl, melt together chocolate chips and coconut oil, 30 seconds at a time mixing between each interval until smooth syrup has formed. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, whisk eggs together then add coconut flour and palm sugar, combining thoroughly. Add in chocolate mix and combine until smooth.
Fill each ramekin ¾ way until all the batter has been evenly divided. Place filled ramekins on cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until cakes form with soft middles.
It will look something like this:
Allow cakes to cool slightly (5-10 min) before moving to plate.
This time is important for two reasons: 1. the cake will firm up slightly making the transition from ramekin to plate easier, 2. you are less likely to burn your tongue. Enough said.
Place plate upside down immediately on top of ramekin then flip ramekin and plate so that the two never separate in the process.
Cake will slip easily from the ramekin; too much transfer area will cause the tender, chocolate lava center to escape. Nobody wants that.
Remove ramekin and top with dairy free whipped cream, raspberries, strawberries or whatever other kind of berry you have on hand…
That, or eat as-is. 🙂
I thought about doing these in muffin tins. While the size would be correct, as mentioned above, moving these tender beauties could cause the middle to rupture and the filling to escape. The first time I made this though, I did a double batch and made it in a large casserole dish. The cake cooked for about 25-30 minutes. This turned out well, although the side servings had significantly less gooey yumminess than the middle servings…even so, going this route would be great for large potlucks where you would instantaneously become everyone's best friend. 😀
I nearly forgot that this dish fits perfectly into this month's Go Ahead Honey, It's Gluten Free which is being hosted by Diane over at The Whole Gang. The theme for this month is "It All Ends Here!" which is based on the tag line for the final Harry Potter film. Not only were
these cakes served at the end of our meal, the film we enjoyed following the lunch that inspired this dessert happened to be Harry Potter. 🙂 I am beyond pleased to offer this recipe as my submission for this moth's event. (Thank you, Diane!)
Whatever you do with this, however you chose to enjoy it or whoever you chose to share it with…undoubtedly this cake will become an instant family favorite.

Amarchand Mangaldas launches new office at Ahmedabad
Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A. Shroff Co. (AMSS), moving a step further in its bid to be the biggest and the best law firm of the country, has today, launched its new office in Ahmedabad, the commercial capital of Gujarat.
This key development is part of the bigger strategy to double in size to 1,000 lawyers and 100 partners by its 100th birthday in 2017. Currently, the firm has 555 lawyers including 59 partners, offering comprehensive legal advisory services through its offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. As the firm is growing and extending its orbit, there is an increased emphasis on reaching out to the locations showing signs of speedy growth.
The regional expansion initiative is spearheaded by Mr. Pankaj Agarwal, Partner, who has distinguished experience in Mergers and Acquisitions, Private Equity, Joint Ventures, Financing, and Corporate Advisory group with special focus on advising clients on Real Estate and Private Equity transactions. The litigation practice would be lead by Mr. Tejas Karia, Partner, who specializes in International and Domestic Commercial Arbitrations, Corporate Litigations, Information Technology Law, Real Estate Disputes, Securities Laws and General Corporate Advisory. Born and brought up pudno in Gujarat, the excitement is more than palpable for Tejas as the regional office holds peculiar significance for him. He plans to facilitate the firm in establishing its presence in his home-ground.
At the launch, Mr. Agarwal stated, "In the absence of a structured full-service corporate legal advisory firm in Gujarat, Amarchand is set to provide the hitherto unavailable niche services from its diverse portfolio".
With the present scale of 6-7 qualified lawyers, the firm has plans to expand its operational strength by taking this number up to 9 within the first year of operation.
AMSS already has various clients from Gujarat, across sectors such as petroleum and petrochemicals, power, engineering & auto, mines & minerals pharmaceuticals & biotechnology, ports & ship building etc. The physical proximity and locational advantage of an office in Gujarat would provide an additional edge to the organisation in fulfilling its aims and aspirations in servicing the existing clients as well as acquiring new business. With the longest coastline in the country, Gujarat offers tremendous geographical advantage providing a direct access to European and African countries. It can easily cater to North, East and Southern regions of the country. Moreover, Gujarat has experienced rapid economic growth in the recent years due to the development of automobile, infrastructure, petrochemicals and IT industries.
The firm has consistently received accolades for its excellence by winning prestigious awards and rankings. International Financial Law Review (IFLR), for the 3rd consecutive year, has honored Amarchand Mangaldas, as "The National Law firm of the Year, 2011-2012". In the recent Mergermarket League Table of Legal Advisers to Global M&A for Q1 2012 Amarchand ranked 1 with deal value of USD 11,646 Million. Furthermore, in the Bloomberg 2012 Q1 Asia Pacific M&A Legal Advisory League Table, Amarchand ranked 1 with 12 deals. Also, the firm won the International Law Office (ILO) Client Choice Awards 2012 for the 2nd year in a row. It was also adjudged the 'exclusive winner' of the ILO overall award for India. Recently, the Managing Partner, Mr. Shardul Shroff, was honored for his 'Outstanding Contribution to the field of Law', by Chambers and Partners, at The Chambers Asia-Pacific Awards 2012. Mrs. Pallavi Shroff, Head of dual practices (Competition & Dispute Resolution) of the firm, has been adjudged the Best Lawyer in Dispute Resolution in Asia at the Euromoney Legal Media Group's Asia Women in Business Law Awards. She was also awarded as the 'Best Woman Lawyer' of the Year 2012 at the Legal Era Law Awards 2011-12.

A few months back I started hearing a creaking noise from the front left side of my car when braking. Gradually it got louder and louder. The noise would only happen when I would be braking and coming to a stop. My front brake pads were replaced less than a year ago. I took it to the dealership a few weeks ago and they re-lubricated the brake pads. Once that happened and we test drove it the noise was gone. They told me if it started happening again to bring it back because it may be the rotors or a ball joint I believe is what they told me. However they also said with the car being a 2008 and having just under 37,000 miles they couldn't see why it may be one of those 2 things. I've never been in any accidents or anything with it. Last night I started hearing the noise again slightly and again a little today.

Seriously Fruity Ultimate Cream Scone
This will be saved to your scrapbook
You can also add it to one of your existing cookbooks
Waitrose.com is happy to host a community of passionate foodies and we encourage you all to share your own recipes here on the site. However, unlike our own recipes which are double-tested, Waitrose have not checked or tested this recipe and cannot accept any liability for its content or method. If you use all or part of this recipe in any way, it is at your own risk. Thank you.
2 Large rich fruit scones, topped with lashings of proper rich clotted cream, and a huge spoonful of fresh strawberry compote. Shop bought scones never use clotted cream and they tend to use cheap jam, so I always make my own, however it would be nice to buy a good one from Waitrose!
What makes it the ultimate summer Seriously From Waitrose dessert?
A cream scone sums up the British summer. It is indulgent, rich and full of the best ingredients the country has to offer. It is also a dessert that all supermarkets sell, but none do it properly. They are always offered with cheap whipped cream and what tastes like the cheapest jar of jam available, yet when done well they are perfect.
