Sweethearts Send 'Tweet Me' Love
"Tweet me" is the new way to say "I love you," according to the official candy of love, Sweethearts!
For the first time in the candy's 145-year history, Sweethearts will feature new fruity flavors (including Green Apple and Blue Raspberry), bright colors, and most excitingly -- new modern sayings chosen by America. Through an online contest, candy fanatics were empowered to decide exactly what expressions of love they wanted to see printed on the new candy hearts.
Favorite sayings that made their debut in years past, such as "Fax Me" and "Email Me," will now be replaced with phrases including "Tweet Me" and "Text Me."
"It's great that America chose 'Tweet Me' to be a new Sweethearts saying," said Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, Inc. "Twitter is a new way to communicate in 140 characters or less, and Sweethearts have been helping people communicate using short phrases for decades."

TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles
It's A Fummm Bulll... Today in his next-day press conference, Eagles Coach For Too Many Days That End In Y Andy Reid pointed out how turnovers killed his team in last night's game against Cincy, how you just can't have that, and how he takes complete responsibility for the team doing this, as if it were a new problem, rather than something that's been systemic. And when asked whether or not RB Bryce Brown, who has two FaRTs in the last three games (and sure, the official scorer might have given the one against the Bengals to QB Nick Foles, but when the RB closes his eyes while bracing for impact, I call that on the RB), would hit the pine in recompense for such transgressions...Reid answered that, well, no, the kid needs to learn, and given the record of the team and the potential he's shown, he'll continue to get carries.Now, I don't particularly disagree with the idea that Brown should continue to get the ball. There are two games left in this trainwre...

wow- I love the pallet wall. Do you think it would be too much in a residential application?
It would make for a nice room divider for a loft space. But as a wall treatment, it looks like spider heaven.
I'm a big fan of Vessel, Gus and Blu Dot. My birthday's coming up.. I think it's time to drop some not-so-subtle hints.

Deputies in Spartanburg County said they were called to investigate domestic violence in which the victim and her family reported that the suspect posted a video of the beating on Facebook.
Deputies said Terry Reed Jr., 34, was charged with criminal domestic violence first offense in the case.
The victim said Reed, her boyfriend, had come to her home just before midnight Friday and the two began to argue about the victim's decision to break-up with Reed.
After repeatedly asking Reed to leave, the victim told deputies that reed eventually dragged her by her arms into her bedroom, threw her on the bed, then climbed on top of her and choked her until she couldn't breathe, according to incident reports.
Next, the victim said Reed took her cell phone and began recording video of himself continuing to beat the woman. According to incident reports, this video was posted to Facebook.
Deputies said a few of the victim's family members saw the video on Facebook, which they said depicted Reed beating the victim as she pleaded for him to stop, and drove over to the victim's house to check on her.
When the family members arrived and knocked on the door, the victim told deputies she was able to get away and ran outside, where she called 911.
Family members told deputies that Reed then came to the door with a kitchen knife and refused to leave until deputies arrived.
Reed admitted uploading a video to Facebook, according to reports. He told deputies he posted the clip accidentally and later removed the post, but that the video did not show any violence of his part.
Reed claimed the victim was the aggressor and started attacking him after he received a phone call from another woman.
Reed told deputies he recorded video of the victim's behavior in case he needed to prove he was attacked later. He showed deputies several videos on his phone, but none showed any fighting involving Reed or the victim, according to reports.
He also told deputies that he was the person who called 911 after the victim's family arrived, and that he had armed himself with a knife because the family members arrived with guns and had made threats to kill him.
Deputies said the victim was crying and very shaken up. Incident reports state she had multiple injuries, including a knot on her forehead, bruises on her neck, bruises under each bicep, and a cut on her leg.
Deputies said the house showed signs of disarray that were consistent with the victim's version of events and injuries, and that enough evidence was collected to place Reed under arrest.
Deputies noted that Reed had several criminal domestic violence charges listed on his criminal history, but had not been convicted in any of the cases.
Reed is currently being held at the Spartanburg County Detention Center.

Waking Up Next To Bob Bryar - Chapter 263 Reviews
Mikey wakes up next to Bob, and Ray's not in a good mood..
Mikey's POV
Bob's lips joined mine, I leaned into the kiss more, my arms going around his neck, his around my waist. I moaned into the kiss, Bob's hand going to the small of my back, I moved my hands into his hair. I smiled into the kiss, Bob doing the same. I broke away from the kiss, looking at Bob, smiling, him doing the same. A sudden wave of tiredness came over me, making me yarn again. Bob grinned at me, pulling me over to his bed, making me lie down, covering me with the duvet. He went to the other side of the bed, getting under the covers, pulling me over to him, against his chest.
-Time Lapse-
I woke up to someone kissing a trail from my neck, up to my ear, I smiled sleepily, turning round to see Bob, smiling back at me.
'Monrin' sleepy head.' Bob grinned, kissing my lips gently, but quickly. 'Coffee?' he asked, knowing me to well, then getting up walking to the other side of the bed, waiting for me, I got out of bed, Bob taking my hand in the process. We went down stairs to them smell of burning toast. A classic sign that my brother was awake, this made me giggle, Bob looked at me strangely before entering the kitchen.
'Why is there 7 pieces of burnt toast on the table?' Bob asked, sitting me down at the table on one of the many seats, before going to get 2 mugs of steaming hot coffee.
'Err, well I burnt it, and didn't know where else to put it, so Frankie suggested we put it on the table, that way you know it's there and you can eat it.' Gerard and Frank had identical grins on their faces, Frank sitting next to the toaster on the work counter.
'Trust you two to make a mess, where's Ray?' Bob asked, throwing the burnt toast in the bin, before handing me my coffee.
'Sleeping. I guess.' Gerard shrugged, sitting down at the table, Frank joining us, Bob going to make some more toast.
'Now? Ray's usually first up. It's 11am, that's like half the day gone for Ray!' Bob laughed.
'I am not sleeping.' Ray came in from the back door, evidently not sleeping. He was fully clothed, and carrying a shopping bag.
'Where have you been?' Frank said, looking into the bag. 'And did you get me anything?' He grinned.
'No I didn't, apparently there was no non-de-caff-coffee.' Ray frowns, this makes me spit out all the coffee from my mouth, Gerard doing the same.
'YOU MEAN I JUST DRANK DE-CAFF-COFFEE?!' I spluttered, Gerard saying the edsact same thing as me at the same time, whipping my tongue with my hands, trying to get the horrid stuff off of it.
'Thought it taste funny.' This made Frank and Bob laugh, before Gerard and I gave them filthy looks, they should know what where like with our coffee.
'Yes.' Ray said simply, sounding not in the mood for interaction.
'What's been shoved up his ass and left to die.' Frank said quietly to Gerard, making Gerard laugh, loudly.
'Dude, you didn't say that very quietly, I can hear you.' I laughed, then saw Rays expression and ducked my head down.
'Nothing has been shoved up my ass.' He said through gritted teeth, something had gone on while he was out, I'm sure of it. I think we all where.

PAL sends two teens to Washington D.C., for a leadership conference
By Chris Fish
VIERA - Two teens from the Satellite Beach Police Athletic League recently attended a national leadership conference in Washington D.C.
Amanda Blanchard, 15, a sophomore at Viera High, and Chelsea Hill, 17, a senior at Satellite High, were selected out of 25 members of the beachside program.
"We looked at youth in our program, who showed leadership skills and at those who would do something with the knowledge (they would gain) when they got back (from the conference)," said Rene Ingram, director of the Satellite Beach PAL program.
Ms. Ingram said Amanda and Chelsea attended the Close Up program, nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that has inspired more than 725,000 youths to find their voices in a democracy, between the dates of June 24 and 27.
"(The conference) was designed to empower these kids, so they could know how the government works," Ms. Ingram said. "The focus of this weekend was to inform, inspire and empower youth to exercise the rights and accept the responsibility of citizens in a democracy."
The program also showed how government works, meeting members of Congress in the process.
Amanda said she hopes her experience will help her become a better citizen within her community.
"I had so much fun in Washington D.C. It was such an amazing experience seeing the rich history through the city lights," she said. "Many new friends and I are unbelievably lucky to have been chosen to participate in the amazing Close Up program. I hope I can make a difference in my community by the teachings of the Close Up program and my wonderful PAL group."
Chelsea said her experience gave her the opportunity to meet a variety of new people.
"Not only was I provided with so many opportunities to learn, but also the chance to meet and have a great time with kids from all over the country," she said. "We had a great time in the workshops, where we were taught how to form our own independent opinions and how to articulate them to peers. I learned so much in those short few days and met friends I will never forget."
The Satellite Beach PAL program is part of a national nonprofit that promotes positive relationships between police officers and youth through community-based educational and recreational opportunities.
The Close Up conference in the nation's capital was a gathering of PAL programs across the nation.
"Our PAL program is something that reaches out to the community. It's a safe place for kids to go. We are empowering them to become future leaders," Ms. Ingram said. "(We want them) to get out into their communities and schools and take active roles in the government. What they learn here, they take and go."

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
Information from Chehaw Park
Two of Chehaw Park's most popular attractions are set to reopen tomorrow for the 2013 season.
The African Veldt experience is a new ride that transports zoo visitors into the wilds of Africa. The 47 acre habitat is home to zebra, ostrich, wildebeest, eland antelope, and impala. It made its debut over last year's Labor Day weekend to the delight of young and old alike.
Visitors are transported in a tractor-pulled covered trailer that affords close-up views of the animals in a natural setting. The ride costs $3.00 (in addition to regular zoo admission) and will run on weekends and holidays every hour on the half-hour.
The other Chehaw ride experience, which will also run on weekends and holidays, is the Wiregrass Express train ride.
This popular attraction has been chugging through the woods at Chehaw for more than 20 years, and it is still only $3.00 per person.

As Australia and England are ready to face off in a back to back Ashes series, so it would be interesting to know and understand the story behind the The Ashes. The Oldest and Greatest Cricket Rivalry – The Ashes came into existence when Australia Defeated England for the first time in August 1882.
Following England's first defeat by Australia, the Sporting Times carried a mock obituary of English cricket, which stated that: "English Cricket had died and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia." Although England won the 3 match test series 2-1 but the English media dubbed the next English tour to Australia (1882–83) as the quest to regain The Ashes.
Later that year, when the English Cricket Team under the leadership of Ivo Bligh went to Australia and promised to "recover those ashes" by defeating Australia in Test Series. Ivo Bligh fulfilled his promise as England won the Test Series 2-1 and a small terracotta urn containing the ashes of a bail were presented to Ivo Bligh by a group of Melbourne women.
When Ivo Bligh died his wife gave the urn(containing the ashes of a bail) to the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), and it is now in the museum at Lord's. However after this tour the whole thing was considered over and forgotten.
Twenty years later, in 1903, English captain Pelham Warner once again led a tour to Australia, with the stated aim of "recovering the ashes", and after returning from a victorious series he wrote a book How We Recovered The Ashes, and that is how the term entered public discourse. The first mention of "The Ashes" in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack occurs in 1905, while Wisden's first account of the legend is in the 1922 edition.
Since the 1998–99 The Ashes test series, a Waterford Crystal representation of the Ashes urn has been presented to the winners of an Ashes series as the official trophy of that series.
Ever since 1882 England and Australia have been playing against each other every two years and the winner of the series takes the Prestigious Ashes Trophy. England and Australia have so far played 316 Tests out of which Australia have won 131 tests whereas England have won 97 tests and 88 Tests have ended in a draw.

Hi there,
My first big bike was a brand new, out of the box Suzuki GSXR 600 K8, I loved this bike and the power that it had, i had a few silly moments on her but nothing we have`nt all done before. I suppose it depends on if he`s a twat on a bike or not, i`ve seen 50 year olds act like right cunts so age does`nt come into it, its all about the individual...I`ve recently looked at life a different way and decided that sports bikes aint for me so i`ve changed to all year round fun...KTM 450 EXC
Ride safe people...

I would suggest that he has a test ride on several types of bikes, naked, supermotard, sports etc and see which style of riding he prefers. If he's never ridden a sports bike he may soon change his mind after finding the riding position uncomfortable. Of course there is the kudos attached to riding a sports bike but there is much more kudos attached to being a decent rider and riding the to the limit of the bikes capability and not your riding ability.
If he is still determined try and convince him that taking any one of the advanced riding courses on offer is a good idea.

There's nothing wrong with a fast bike but as many have already said you need the skill set to ride such a machine. Maybe you could buy him a course with IAM or Rospa. Not only will it give him a good foundation of skills to build on he'd meet a group of likeminded professional riders and potentially grow his group of regular rider mates? Good luck. Also he could have it restricted for the first few months if you're really concerned?

Hi there,
"My son understandably wants to get the fastest, coolest bike he can when he graduates from his 33bhp bike"
Nothing wrong with this, the fastest coolest bikes are usually the best equipped; better brakes, suspension, bigger tyres/contact patch and better quality parts and ergonomics. From his 33bhp period he should now know; the rules of the road, the vulnerabilities of a motorcylist, and most importantly that you can make any bike go as SLOW as you like.
"I feel strongly this is a bad idea, based at least in part of my own experiences of being a young lad."
When you were a young lad the very best motorcycles didn't have near the standard of equipment of today's budget 600s. The playgrounds of the roads were quieter and the training was poorer - tests consisted of riding round a housing estate without crashing to pass. Add to the fact that your son is a different person to you he is destined to ride differently.
At 17 I was riding a restricted ZX6R. Derestricted at 18 - I rode this bike hard and fast, but always kept within my limits. This is key. Your son CAN ride anybike from 50cc to 2300cc - I would recommend a decent 1000cc naked or sports 600. The important thing is that he understands his own limits and stays within them because ultimately a sports 600 will be far exceed his limitations compared to that of a 600 naked.
"How can I convince my son his first 'proper' bike shouldn't be a sports 600?"
You would be doing your son a disservice convincing him of this. But if you HAD to convince him, which from my experience (now 24 riding for 8 years) is a bad idea, then I'd tell him:
""Son, the throttles on sports 600s are constantly pinned open. All crashes on a sports 600 are at 150mph+ Nobody in the history of the world has ever crashed at 30mph or less on a sports 600. You should buy and ride a naked 600 - even if you chose to ride at the top speed (for naked 600s could be upto 130mph) then it is impossible to crash because there are no clip on handlebars or side fairings which are the cause of all crashes. In the impossible event that on the naked you crash into a car or something, even at top speed of 130mph, you will be uninjured because everybody walks away from crashes on a naked.
Lastly, I rode a sports 600 when I was a lad and I crashed and didn't survived to tell the story so there's the evidence.""
You should be alright with this :)

Financial incentive is always good, as in you could say you'll help him out with the cost as long as it's not a sports. I have to say, having passed my test not long ago and bought an xj6n it's plenty fast enough, and it's been good to get used to ovvertaking and cornering without having my observations hampered by a hunched riding position. A faired 600 like a a diversion, er6f, cbr600f or a suzuki gsx650f might be a good compromise.

Will the latest plan for the old Sears building work?
The new owners of City Hall East, a historic structure near Midtown, are planning an organic garden, a "green" roof top and a foodie market akin to the Ferry Building in San Francisco or Pike Place Market in Seattle, AJC writer Rachel Tobin reports.
They also plan to shed the names the building has been called, as far back as 1926, to rebrand it as Ponce City Market, Tobin writes.
Plans call for hundreds of residential units, 2,000 internal parking spaces, loft-style, upscale offices, retailers — possibly national chains — and a foodie destination with "farm to table" vendors and local restaurants, Tobin reports. The North Avenue side of the building could have an organic farm to supply the market.
Still, no new tenants were announced Monday when Mayor Kasim Reed and executives with Jamestown Properties celebrated the long-awaited sale at a news conference atop the brick building, Tobin writes.
Nonetheless, if everything comes to pass, it will be a big change for the hulking building that for years sat mostly empty along one of Atlanta's busiest arteries, Ponce de Leon Avenue, Tobin writes. Jamestown is paying Atlanta $27 million to buy the building and plans to spend $180 million redeveloping it for an early 2014 reopening.
The giant structure was built in 1926 as a Sears, Roebuck & Co. department store and was expanded to 2 million square feet for a mail order warehouse and offices, Tobin writes.

So M&A is rarely good when both companies are based here since any redundancies designed to create "synergies" will mean layoffs somewhere. Given the fine state of GA paid $100M+ to bring precious NCR jobs here can we ask for a refund on every single job laid off from Radiant?
Also, who finances a deal w/ 90%+ debt these days? I thought all corporate coffers were chock full of cash on the sidelines. It is a bit funny to see NCR have to spend 1/3 of its total market cap to acquire a competitor 1/15 its size. I wonder what the interest payments are on $1B of debt when the company nets $130M/yr and the CEO is sucking down 10% of that for himself.

Regrettably Atlanta is not San Francisco or Seattle.
Residents of those two lovely cities don't send their kids to cheater infested public schools, get filthy water when they turn on the tap, or run the same risk of being stabbed or shot by a crack addicted homey every time they step outside. Atlanta is more on par with Newark and Detroit.

« Do the words 'Schedule Shuffling' and 'Chase Tweaking' scare anyone else? | Main | Can Edwards give Ford two wins in a row? »
The Glen could prove to make or break Montoya and his team
By admin | August 6, 2010
By Richard Allen
To say the least, Juan Pablo Montoya and his crew have had two weekends filled with dissention during the races at Indianapolis and Pocono. So much so that after a late race pit stop in Pocono in which the #42 Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing Chevrolet lost crucial spots, the 35 year old Colombian driver unleashed an expletive filled tirade at his team. and particularly crew chief Brian Pattie.
Anyone who happened to hear the scanner chatter, which was replayed in full on the Showtime program Inside NASCAR, might well have labeled the exchange as one of contempt rather than a competitive disagreement.
The issue goes back to the Brickyard 400, which Montoya appeared to be on his way to winning for the second year in a row only to have a pit road mistake cost him for the second year in a row. During a late race stop, Pattie called for a four tire change. As it turns out at least six other cars went with two tires and gained crucial track position.
Ultimately, Montoya slammed against the outside wall after his car handled poorly in the so called 'dirty air'. Pattie blamed himself for the pit blunder.
In Pocono, Montoya and team once again found themselves in contention as a late race pit decision had to be made. Pattie told his driver to listen for his call, which was to be made as late as possible so as not to tip off any competitors who might be listening over the open channel. As the car approached the pit stall the crew chief barked the instruction to change four tires. After the crew finished their work on the right side of the car, Montoya allowed the machine to roll forward a few inches which upset the timing of the stop. As a result, positions were lost.
Once the cars cleared pit road Pattie keyed his microphone and said, "You're coming to Charlotte to practice pit stops, pal.â€
That obviously did not sit well with Montoya, who lives in Florida. From that point he launched into a nearly lap long dressing down of Pattie and the team using language that will not be printed here.
Even the command of team manager Tony Glover to focus on the task at hand did little to stop the anger storm.
This week in Watkins Glen, this team will come into the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen as one of the favorites. Montoya's two NASCAR wins were both scored on road courses, a Nationwide Series victory in Mexico and a Sprint Cup win in Sonoma. The former Formula 1 star had considerably more experience on road circuits than ovals when he first came to stock car racing.
No doubt, the pressure is on this driver and this team this weekend. Much of that pressure will in all likelihood be self-imposed. Should they do well, it could be that their recent troubles might be forgiven. However, a loss, especially one involving an issue on pit road, could lead to an even more contentious relationship.

A best seller for years, the Ultra Force Jungle boot is a low cost alternative to the more expensive, traditional jungle boot. Modeled after the classic military boot used in Vietnam and Panama, these Jungle boots have a black upper made from rugged nylon and canvas and have a strong black rubber panama sole. Vents on the sides allow for ventilation and drainage, while the light-weight construction makes them perfect for a variety of environments. These jungle boots make great uniform boots for step groups, marching bands, security companies, and more! Love the military look but don't want to break the bank? Then the Ultra Force Military Jungle Boots are the ones for you! Order yours online today!
Just as their name suggests, Military Jungle boots are designed for combat in tropical and jungle environments. While this less expensive version may not be up to combat, it still shares many of the same features as the classic boot. First made famous in the Vietnam war, jungle boots feature a panama sole that is designed to be especially effective in mud and clay, pushing either to the side as you walk to ensure a firmer foothold. There are vents near the instep to help the boot breathe and allow any water that gets in to drain out. The uppers are made of canvas instead of leather, aiding in breathability and making the boots extra flexible, while the leather toe looks sharp, takes a shine, and adds a bit of durability to the boot.

After being punked in San Francisco by the bigger and better 49ers, the Rams headed to the desert to take on the resurgent Arizona Cardinals. These two teams have definitely taken different paths after their week 1 meeting with the Rams fighting youth and injuries and the Cardinals looking to play their way into the last playoff spot in the NFC. The Rams were looking to play spoiler but instead were stepped on and punched in the mouth once again by a divisional foe.
The Good
Alec Ogletree - The Rams 2nd pick in the first round of the 2013 draft is really starting to come into his own as the Rams weak side linebacker. Ogletree led the team in tackles once again and at his current pace, is set to break the Rams single season rookie record for tackles.
TJ McDonald - When the Rams defense was struggling earlier in the year, McDonald was the lone bright spot. After missing most of the season with an injury, the rookie from USC really has bounced back in a big way. McDonald still struggles in coverage but his tackling skills have been stellar since taking over the safety spot in training camp.
Zack Stacy - Stacy only rushed for 25 yards but he continues to be the bulldozer the Rams hoped when they drafted him in the 5th round of the 2013 draft. If the Rams offensive line can figure out how to block, Stacy can do some damage to any defense.
The Bad
Kellen Clemens - In the last two games, Kellen Clemens has shown us why he is career back up quarterback. The Cardinals defense is good but Clemens was just plain awful. He made some horrible throws, missed some wide open receivers and misread many things. The Rams don't ask Clemens to carry the load and throw the ball 40 times a game but they do expect him to limit the mistakes and play smart.
The Offensive Line - Part of Kellen Clemens problem was that he had zero protection. The Cardinals blitzed early and often and most times, the Rams had no idea who to block. The offensive line also didn't open any holes for the running game and that in turn forced Clemens to become more of a passer, something he really isn't know for. The recipe for Rams success is easy. Run the ball, burn the clock and mix in some passing along the way. If they can't do that, they struggle.
Defensive Line - The Rams D-Line has been their best unit all year but in this game, they were completely shut down by the Cardinals. Robert Quinn and Chris Long were no where to be found and it allowed Carson Palmer to pick apart the weak Rams secondary.
Secondary - I wish the Rams secondary could cover as well as they talk. I've never seen a bunch of guys continue to talk smack and get burnt over and over and over again. The Rams are young but at some point, that has to stop being an excuse.
Penalties - Same story, different week. You can't win games when you continue to commit 12 penalties a game.
Coaching - The Cardinals did whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted in all phases of the game. The Rams, made absolutely no adjustments. They also once again failed to get the ball into their play makers hands, something that apparently is easier said then done.
As the Rams head into the final 3 games of the season, the team is playing for nothing but pride and where their draft pick will be. They do have the Redskins first round pick next season so the Rams brain trust will have 2 top 15 picks to try and fix some of the problems.
This week, the Saints come marching into the Dome, a place where they have actually struggled. However, this Rams secondary is hurt and young, a deadly combination when you have a MVP caliber quarterback in Drew Brees on the other side. The Rams are going to have to play mistake free football, take advantage of anything given to them by the Saints and wish for a Christmas miracle if they are going to spring the upset.

Basically, it streamlines those things that, sure, you Could do without the addon, leaving you free to make the rest of your play stronger.

It's not just you.
Personally I don't even use all of the options that have been added to the base UI, for example, the notifications to indicated that Overpower, Execute, or Hammer of Wrath can be used; I want to make that determination myself, not have the game inform me, and suffer the consequences if I fail to do so.
Of course you can make the argument that I am already reliant on the game to inform me of conditions like these, by displaying the target's health, or changing the icon to a ready state, I can't dispute that. But there's a degree past which I'm simply not comfortable, and it includes things like show enemy spellcasting, threat meters, and from the sounds of it Healbot Continued.
I'm not criticizing those who choose to use the tools available to them, and I'm sure that I am less effective in the game because I choose not to, but in the context of a recreational activity I find avoiding the feeling of distaste that comes with these tools more important than maximizing my effectiveness.

"We remain committed tenants and continue to play a key role in the revival of the Johannesburg inner city, as we continue to contribute towards building a greener future through such developments for the city and its people," says FNB CEO Michael Jordaan.
But it was also a property development milestone, with the opening of FNB Place marking the completion of a vision formed all the way back in the late 1980's.
In reflecting on the decision taken by its board to proceed with the development on October 16, 1987, Jordaan acknowledged that the initial catalyst had been the need for "additional parking".
"Parking had become a major issue at Bank City and, as the problem persisted, it was considered prudent to unlock the potential of this site, which had been vacant property for many years," Jordaan mused.
But FirstRand CEO Sizwe Nxasana argued that, with the completion of the development, the focus had shifted to that of being an expression of confidence in the future, as well as a commitment to reviving the inner city.
"My predecessors expressed their confidence when they built the original blocks. Our optimism for the future has been rewarded with the completion of the Bank City project," Nxasana added.
Back in 1987, the bank's board gave its approval for the exercise options to purchase sites on seven city blocks in the north western CBD of Johannesburg.
While parking was a priority then, the feasibility study indicated that it would also make sense to incorporate an additional office component into the building. "This thought was motivated by the concept of moving large business units from third-party leases into bank owned space," Jordaan ruminated.
FNB's initial requirements meant that only four blocks were completed in 1995 to create the heart of the bank's new head office complex. Over the years, additional blocks have been built on the sites purchased in the late 1980s. No additional land was purchased for the project and the original plan to redevelop seven city blocks remained intact.
Today, some 7 800 employees are housed in the wider complex, reflecting the remarkable growth of the bank and the South African economy. While the bank's total staff numbers have hardly changed over 20 years (FNB employed 26 062 people in 1988, 28 500 in 2010), the nature of banking has changed beyond recognition.
The bank's current focus on technology, efficiencies and innovation created a strong demand for development and management processes to deliver banking services to some 6,5-million customers. The tenants for FNB Place will be Ebucks, Retail Forex and the Card Division.
Ebucks is moving into the building within the next few weeks and the building will be fully occupied within the first quarter of this year.
Jordaan noted that the bank was committed to staying and growing in the inner city, and promised that FNB would continue to play a positive role in the future development and renewal of the CBD.

A Dynamic Operationalization of Sen's Capability Approach
AbstractThe limits of the utilitarian approach have led to a search for different notions of welfare. The income approach to well-being, in fact, doesn't account for the diversity in human beings and for the heterogeneities of contingent circumstances. Amartya Sen, looking for broader notions of well-being, has developed an approach focused on the freedom of individuals to pursue their own project of life: the capability approach. The main purpose of the paper is to explore the possibility of using system dynamics to operationalize Sen's framework. First of all we address the methodological issues that have to be considered in order to operationalize the capability approach in a dynamic framework. Then we investigate the architecture of the three-functionings model we devised to represent human well-being, as intended in the capability approach. Furthermore, we analyze in depth the structure of a particular functioning, and consider some simulations for the selected functioning and for the whole model over time. Finally, the concluding remarks suggest some indications about the use of system dynamics in order to operationalize the capability approach, and consider the main findings derived from the simulations carried out.

"I was fifteen when I first discovered John Fahey – or more specifically his guitar playing. I wasn't immediately hooked. It took me about six months to begin to appreciate what I was hearing. In particular one album 'Death Chants, Breakdowns and Military Waltzes' had excellent pieces that were especially evocative. But for me 'When The Catfish Is In Bloom' from the Requia album proved to me beyond doubt that I was hearing the work of a genius, no matter how misemployed that word has become.
By 1978 I was well on my musical journey, and 33 years later, I am still on that journey. I still mostly play for myself but now more than ever, I am being encouraged to push myself forward into a world teeming with good to excellent fingerstyle guitarists, there to lay down my own gauntlet.
This website is the first step in that direction. I am perhaps known in the hard core Fahey style guitar community as the guy John chose to impersonate him on John Fahey Vol II 1963 – 1993. It was a tremendous honor but it's time to move on.
Although I can play a lot of Fahey note for note, I have always felt free to improvise and create. In the coming months I will be working on an album of fresh pieces that I think showcase how far I have come. Some of them may already be heard via the store as downloadable sound files.
It's been a long time in the making but I think it's been worth the wait.

Upcoming OSTA Constitution Revision Vote
Each Spring, the OSTA Constitution and By-Laws committee is charged with examining the OSTA Constitution and By-Laws and recommending changes to the OSTA Board. Over the last three years there has been an on-going effort to bring the Constitution and By-Laws up to date and provide guidance to enable a growing, dynamic, and productive organization. This year's revision is hopefully the last major revision necessary to complete the task. Constitution changes require first Board approval (received in June) and then a ratification from the membership in attendance at the Fall Conference. Download the proposed Constitution HERE. Additions are underlined and items to be deleted are
struckthrough. A ballot to accept or reject the changes will be one of your voting duties at the conference along with your approval of candidates for OSTA Board offices. More on these candidates later. By the way, nominations for OSTA Board of Director positions are still open. Go to the on-line nominations form and submit your name or the name of a colleague for consideration by the Nominations Committee.

DAP's Anthony Loke (pic, right) and PKR's Azmin Ali took Najib Razak to task after the latter dismissed criticism over the exorbitant bill which was revealed in Parliament recently.
Najib had said the amount was "unavoidable" as he had to entertain heads of government at his official residence in Putrajaya.
"How to avoid such expenses? That is not my residence but the prime minister's residence. If heads of government come, are we supposed to dine in the dark?
"If the Chinese prime minister comes, are we to dine by candlelight? I would say, that is romantic," he said, poking fun at his critics.
Loke, who had been given the parliamentary reply by the Prime Minister's Department on the amount, said the excuse was "unjustified".
"We are not saying that he should dine in the dark. He can switch on whatever lights he wants for that particular function. But how many heads of governments visit Seri Perdana ever year?" he questioned.
"Don't tell me that we have to host heads of government at Seri Perdana every single night. I know for a fact that some these events took place during the day.
"So we didn't need to spend that kind of money," he said.
Azmin described the PM's remarks a "show of arrogance in power" by the Barisan Nasional leadership.
"This is a serious issue and the PM is trying to insult the intelligence of taxpayers and the rakyat. He has to be more serious as it involves huge amount of taxpayers money.
"They just don't care about the issues and the plight of the rakyat. People are suffering now, they need strong and credible leadership to ensure that every single sen of their money is spent wisely," the PKR deputy president said.
Loke meanwhile pointed out that Najib, who initiated a campaign to save electricity in government departments, had failed to lead by example.
"Perhaps he has forgotten about the campaign to reduce electricity bills by 10% and fix the air-conditioning temperature at 24 degrees Celcius.
"This shows the government is not walking the talk. Najib should have immediately instructed the person in charge of electricity at his official residence to do something about it, instead of making fun about it," he added.
Loke said it was disappointing that the PM dismissed the high bill as a "petty matter", saying RM2.2 million was an amount that the average citizen could never earn in a lifetime.
"For him, it might be small. But it is a huge amount for most Malaysians.
"The PM has said that those who evade taxes are traitors. Let me just remind him also that those who are corrupt and waste taxpayers' money can also be labelled as traitors," he stressed.
Muslim NGO Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia (Isma) yesterday reminded Najib that being extravagant with public money is also a form of treason.
Isma president Abdullah Zaik Abd Rahman, said as leaders entrusted with managing public funds, they were dutybound to be prudent in managing revenue collected from taxes. - November 26, 2013.

I think for me the biggest thing is I tend to pass as a young boy, you know? And that's like a complicated thing because you don't really know if people are being condescending to you because they think you're a young boy or if you're gender queer or what it is. I would just say that it's hard to live in a body that's different from everyone else — or, not everyone else but a lot of other people. Sometimes I walk down the street and I feel a sense that I'm still a freak and I think it's something that I'll always deal with because of my history and feeling oppressed for many reasons. One thing I've thought about a lot recently is promoting confidence. I feel like as a teenager I didn't have that and I wish I could help other young queer kids and gender-queers and women learn how to feel good about themselves. I always come back to that as the reason I may still effected by what people say to me, you know?

LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Changes to the nursing curriculum will allow students to transfer into different programs at different higher learning institutions almost seamlessly while helping some pursue advanced degrees.
The New Mexico Nursing Education Consortium (NMNEC) announced that all of the nursing programs offered through New Mexico's higher education institutions have agreed to establish and implement a common nursing curriculum throughout the state.
"By having a common core curriculum, that would permit students to move around the state," said NMSU Nursing Program Director Pamela Schultz.
Shultz said when the Dona Ana Community College nursing program lost accreditation, students pursuing Associate's Degrees in Nursing were admitted into the Bachelor Of Science In Nursing Program at NMSU and proved to be successful.
But for several students their credits did not transfer and extended their time going to school.
"If the schools would haveve had the same curriculum, I would have been graduating next semester," said Karina Estrada who has now spent four years in programs at DACC and NMSU.
She now has to wait another year rather than practicing her profession.
With nursing programs requiring countless hours of time studying and in the classroom, students rely heavily on loved ones to help them meet obligations.
"My husband helps me a lot," Estrada said.
With a uniform curriculum, students will be able to pursue their degrees in their hometowns and not have to move to a larger institution such as NMSU or the University of New Mexico.
Schultz said that will also open the door for students to pursue more BSN degrees as opposed to the associate's.
The curriculum changes will be implemented gradually and should all be consistent by 2017.

- A GREAT place to celebrate!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 9/29/2014We were at Capital Grille celebrating two birthdays. Capital Grille made the celebration so very special from the moment we walked in until we left. The food and service was excellent!!! I would highly recommend Capital Grille to anyone who is looking for a restaurant for a special occasion or to just dine with family/friends/colleagues.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome classy restaurant!TunkyDined on 9/27/2014Perfect ambiance for couples, or if celebrating a special occasion where you want to be able to conversate without noise. Very intimate setting, superb service and the food was far from disappointing. We took advantage of the magical dining month and the prefixed menu options were well suited for all pallets. Their regular menu is pricey however, you get what you pay for. After all, this is an upscale restaurant offering high end quality food. Great place and will definately be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lost LusterBrewerVIPDined on 9/26/2014The Capital Grille - I Drive has changed since my last dinning experience (about three years), but not for the better. It's seems to have lost it's client sophistication, thus future steak house desires will be fulfilled at either Christner's or Ruth Chris.Special Features:

- Average experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/23/2014The overall experience was average, we had a reservation at 8:30 and we were seated at 9:00, the quality of service and food in general was good but our steak was overcooked.
- ExperienceReview86Dined on 9/23/2014We arrived at 830 for our reservation, and were not seated till 9, watching many couples arriving after us seated prior to us. After raising this twice little empathy was shown and we were not informed at all why we were waiting, even on arrival. Unsure what difference the reservation made! This was a Tuesday, not a Saturday! The waiter seemed uninterested, and brought me my dessert without asking what I wanted. I was going to raise this but he did not ask if we enjoyed, seemed more keen to hurry us out the door. The food was very nice, is a shame the service was a million miles from this. I honestly don't remember when I have received worse service, very disappointing. I would not return. Nice setting, good food, very poor service.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/23/2014food and service was outstanding i recomend this place to everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food coupled with family funcatheavenDined on 9/23/2014You do not go to Capital Grille on a budget. Both the food and service are exceptional. The restaurant was super noisy; there were five of us seated at a round table, and it was difficult to hear those on the opposite side. The filet mignon was exceptional and cooked to perfection.Special Features:
- Magical DiningMisbjaDined on 9/23/2014Our second visit in our trip to Orlando. Food excellent, except that we were given a desert to share between 2, while last time had one each. Not very hygienic. Waiter not very good, while last time service was excellent. We had to ask for the rest of our wine, 1/4 bottle still to drink. Would still recommend and go again. Also had to ask for parking voucher, last time they asked us. Probably depends on day and time of dining.Special Features:
- PERFECTION!Cheric222Dined on 9/21/2014Food, atmosphere and service were all exceptional. We remarked that all of the food is especially well prepared and particularly delicious. We tried the lobster/shrimp cake and it was amazing. Our server Charlie was efficient, friendly yet not intrusive. Great evening!Special Features:
- Excellent Service!JoanneDined on 9/20/2014I went to The Capital Grille last Saturday as a "birthday surprise" for my boyfriend. He thought it was just a typical dinner date with a few family & friends; however I had placed a special request when making the reservation to see if there was anyhting that can be done to acknowledge his birthday. They had placed a "Happy Birthday" note at the top of the menu with his name on it for all the menus on the table. They also gave us complimentary champagne to celebrate & wrote him the sweetest birthday card from the staff. The food was delicious and very satisfying, and most importantly, our servers were amazing! Norberto & J.P. were so attentive in accomodating our large party & extremely personable. I would definitely go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Dinner poor serviceYummy22Dined on 9/20/2014We were given the regular menus when seated but requested the magical dining menus instead. The waiter seemed inconvenienced by this and returned with only one magical dining menu to share among 5 people. We had to again request magical dining menus for the rest of the group. The salads were great & the 8oz filets were very good as well. However, we were disappointed by the desserts as they are no longer full size and must be shared.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect!!Nm318Dined on 9/20/2014Great food cooked to perfection. The service is always impeccable.Special Features:
- Magical DiningMagicaldinerDined on 9/20/2014I had dinner there during Magical Dining Month. Our server was great and the food was amazing until our steaks came out. I asked for "medium" and was given "well done" Our server quickly took my plate and soon was brought another steak by someone else. Well this person had a little attitude and asked me to cut into it. However I didn't have any utensils. I told the server/cook that I'm sure it was fine. He left and I finally cut into my now "rare" steak. My question is why couldn't they get "medium" right? You are a steak house correct? Everything else from that night was wonderful except the steak. Magical dining hasn't been so magical.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Made Magical Dining Month magical!aowashingtonDined on 9/19/2014I've never been to The Capital Grille before, and realistically the only reason I'd go is for something like Magical Dining Month. Three courses for $33? Cha-ching! So of course I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. The food was excellent, and the steak was on par with my favorite local steakhouse in downtown Orlando. Very diverse atmosphere too: families, couples, groups of friends; it was a hodgepodge of people. I could have done without this baby's random outbursts, but at least they were very short and happy outbursts. Also really helped that the Manhattan I ordered was stronger than I expected. What really struck me was the excellent service though! Attentive without smothering, and just chatty enough. Loved it.Special Features:
- Service lackingDanielM220Dined on 9/19/2014As a capital Grill client in other cities we were extremely disappointed. We had a bad table in the enterance high traffic area, constant bumping of our chairs, poor service from the waiter who was haard to find, had to ask for almost everything from bread dishes to flateware, water glasses went unfilled, we waited a long time to order and even longer for the food, when it finally arrived one dinner was missing. Then they forgot our potatoes and vegetables. All in all it was like eating in an upscale, expensive fast food restaurant with low paid help. We would have gotten better service at Chic-fil-A. Can not recommend.
- Magical Dining Month!TracyWDined on 9/19/2014Kona crusted steak was a delight, not a strong coffee taste at all. Something different. Really enjoyed our experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- 5 StarMikeGDined on 9/17/2014I paid for 5 star and they delivered. Only one thing I would change about the place. The bar is too busy to serve food at. Keep it for the socializing crowd.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the best that we were used toOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/17/2014We waited over 30 minutes for a table even though we had a reservation. It was very busy and we just didn't feel like it was special at all this time. It's a great place usually.I would recommend this to a friend.

- Birthday surprise dinnerScottyDined on 9/13/2014We were having a surprise birthday dinner for my husband and the day before there was a message on our machine saying this is capital grille confirm your reservation for 8 etc. so much for the surprise !! It turned out okay we were seated in a small dining area on the side which got VERY noisy as the night went on, with large groups shouting etc. our waiter was one we had the last time we were there and didn't,t like him then and still don,t, he has a very strong accent and is hard to understand sometimes, service was okay but not very polite or friendly. The front desk had a handsome guy in a suit shaking hands with us and welcoming us, heard him talking to staff later saying area manager was coming so they needed to dissappearSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great serviceBronxQTDined on 9/13/2014My boyfriend and I dined at Capital Grille to enjoy their Magical Dining menu. Even though our check was significantly less expensive than if we had dined off of the regular menu, our server was more than welcoming, making sure our dining experience was impeccable. Our steaks were prepared perfectly and the lobster macaroni and cheese was to die for. Even after we heated up the rest of our steak at home, it never lost it's integrity. I highly recommend Capital Grille for Magical Dining or if you would like wonderful food, amazing service, and a romantic or professional ambiance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Democrats atop West Virginia's 2010 ballot find themselves running against, or away from, their party colleagues in Washington, D.C.
The races for U.S. Senate and the state's two Democrat-held U.S. House seats have become as much about President Barack Obama and their fellow Democrats running Congress as about the candidates themselves.
The same scenario has unfolded in most other states. As the economy struggles to recover, foes of Obama and such measures as the stimulus and the health care overhaul have rallied. A growing number of political analysts project Republican takeovers of one or both chambers of Congress.
The Associated Press recently documented the enthusiasm gap by reviewing the 35 statewide primaries held before Sept. 1. The study found that more than 4 million more Republicans than Democrats had cast ballots in those nominating contests.
From TV ads to Twitter, the GOP has been hammering home its message in West Virginia:
— John Raese, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, warns that his Democratic opponent, Gov. Joe Manchin, would be "a rubber stamp for Barack Obama."
— Elliott "Spike" Maynard, the Democrat-turned-Republican challenging Rep. Nick Rahall, lumps the 3rd District incumbent in with Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
— State Sen. Mike Oliverio, the Democrat running in the 1st Congressional District, has been similarly targeted by the GOP's David McKinley.
The situation marks a reversal for Democrats, who in West Virginia and elsewhere cast President George W. Bush as the boogeyman in 2006 and 2008. State Democrats had hoped they were immune from such attacks. In previous elections, they often sought to distinguish themselves from their national counterparts on such issues as guns and abortion. This year, their candidates seek to redirect the focus to local or regional issues.
TV spots from Rahall and Oliverio tout plans to preserve jobs — Oliverio decries steel imports from places like China in his district, while Rahall recounts his efforts for coal in his. Oliverio followed up last week by releasing a seven-point strategy that addresses such areas as trade, worker training and small business tax breaks.
Manchin has stumped on his nearly six years as governor, and his campaign's first TV ad mentions that record in passing. But the spot otherwise decries Raese's negative tone. Manchin also approached the family of the late Sen. Robert C. Byrd about Raese's ad, because it included an image from the July memorial for Byrd at the state Capitol.
The Senate race will decide who will serve out the roughly two years left in Byrd's term; the 92-year-old Democrat died June 28. After hearing from Manchin, Byrd's family slammed Raese in a statement for using the image of Manchin sitting beside Obama. Raese's campaign said it did not intend to invoke the memorial, and countered that Manchin was seeking to sidestep the ad's main thrust.
When recently asked about his party, Manchin cited its policies that he argued have historically improved the quality of life in the U.S. But he also denounced "entitlement mentalities without responsibilities," and attempts to "add more regulations and make it much more difficult for businesses to compete in the global market."
"Voters should be angry at everyone in Washington for not talking to each other," Manchin told AP. "What Washington needs is a good dose of commonsense West Virginia, and the responsible government we've been running."
Among other attacks, Raese supporters allege that Manchin supports cap-and-trade. The Obama administration proposal aims to limit greenhouse gas emissions from such sources as burning coal. That came as a surprise to Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association.
"He's clearly said he's opposed to it, and opposed to it because of the damage he feels it will bring to the coal industry and the coal-using industry here in West Virginia," Raney said.
Signs of a voter enthusiasm gap in West Virginia appear mixed. More than 94,200 ballots were cast in the Democrats' special U.S. Senate primary Aug. 28, when Manchin bested two other candidates with 73 percent of the vote. Nearly 54,100 voters chose among the 10 Republican candidates. Raese won with 71 percent.
Democratic primary voters outnumbered Republicans, though not quite by the nearly 2-to-1 margin the majority party enjoys among all registered voters. Democratic turnout equaled 14 percent of the party's registered voters, compared to 15 percent for the GOP.
The two parties saw similar turnout results in the regular May primary for the state's 1st Congressional District seat. There, Oliverio upset multi-term incumbent Rep. Alan Mollohan for the Democratic nod, while McKinley prevailed among a field of six Republican hopefuls.
But in the 3rd Congressional District, where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 3-to-1, May primary turnout was closer to 4-to-1 Democratic. With less than 20 percent of GOP voters turning out, Maynard squeaked past three other Republicans. Rahall defeated his primary challenger with more than 67 percent of the vote and nearly 26 percent of registered Democrats participating.
Obama lost West Virginia to Republican John McCain, receiving less than 43 percent of the vote in 2008. Obama did about as poorly in each of the state's three congressional districts. But while his support for cap and trade was a factor, six of the seven counties that Obama carried produce coal including state leader Boone.
Polling since suggests that Obama remains decidedly unpopular in the Mountain State. West Virginia was tied with Utah for the second-highest Obama disapproval rating, after Gallup surveyed 780 state residents between January and June. With just 34 percent of West Virginians polled approving of the president's job performance, only Wyoming's approval rating was lower at 29 percent.

Comments On Aug 14, 2014:Put these on my KLX250 because many of the trails here are single track through dense trees. Saved my hands many times as trees banged against both guards at once. Saved my brake lever when the bike fell on a rock ledge.
Easy to install. Fit great on my Pro-Taper Contour bars. Plenty of room for the levers. Very secure. Haven't budged since I put them on.

Comments On Aug 13, 2014:Great solid handguards with very durable wrap around steel. I have Renthal handlebars with crossbar and it was a very tight fit with the full wraparound. Most likely these were made for stock bars without cross bar. Still using the handguards and just have to do some minor adjustments to get my throttle to not stick. Would recommend if you dont mind bending the steel to fit

Comments On Jun 24, 2014:I've gone down several times, including on pavement, and these guards hold up. Nice to be able to change just the plastic. Could use a better mounting bracket. They don't fit nicely to my pro taper bars, but other than that they're great.

Comments On May 06, 2014:IMO these are the best hand guards money can buy. They your hands really well and they hold up!! I had a big crash at 75MPH over some whoops. I destroyed my headlight and wiring. The hand guards held up great, they had minimal scratching but that was it!! No broken levers or anything. There a pain to install but well worth it!!!

Comments On Apr 15, 2014:Mounted these to my 08KTM250sx-f with Renthal fat bars and the inside mounts didn't fit good at all. It took some bending to get them to go on and the inside doesn't make full contact around the bar. I tightened everything down before each ride and they begin to form to the bars and start making more contact so they don't slip as easily.
