At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, an armistice, or cease-fire, went into effect ending the fighting in World War I. After four long years, the "Great War" was over. President Woodrow Wilson had called it the "war to end all wars" and the war "to make the […]

CCMA issues nonresolution certificate as Safcec, unions' wage talks failBack

The certificate allowed the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and the Building, Construction and Allied Workers Union (BCAWU) to embark on procedural strike action once 48 hours' notice had been given to Safcec.
The unions told Engineering News Online that they would meet with their representative shopstewards over the weekend to obtain a mandate from their members that would determine their next course of action.
However, neither ruled out the possibility of strike action from next week.
BCAWU general secretary Narius Moloto said the union would continue direct engagement with Safcec despite the issuance of the nonresolution certificate, with a view to reaching an agreement on wages by the weekend.
"While we do not want to strike, and will avoid it if we can, we will consider strike action from Monday if there is no deal," he said.
NUM regional coordinator for KwaZulu-Natal Bhekani Ngcobo added that, should the union's demands not be met, there would be "no other option but to submit a notice of intent to strike."
Safcec confirmed that a deadlock had been reached between the parties and that the CCMA had issued a certificate of nonresolution.

Cadel Evans of the BMC Racing Team shadowed the overall contenders up the final climb Monday to finish third on the stage and move into third overall at the Critérium du Dauphiné.
Difficult Final Climb
BMC Racing Team's Michael Schär and Manuel Quinziato made a hard tempo on the last of four categorized climbs, setting up the showdown between all the race favorites as Jurgen Van den Broeck (Omega Pharma-Lotto) soloed to win the 144-kilometer race. "It was a difficult situation to make a move in a final like that," Evans said. "Congratulations to Van den Broeck and (Alexandre) Vinokourov. There is still a long ways to go, with the time trial Wednesday and many more mountains before the final stage."
Seven Seconds Off The Lead
Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said the day's plan to not lose seconds over the main contenders worked well. In the overall standings, Evans trails new leader Vinokourov (Astana) by seven seconds. "We knew there was going to be a selection," Lelangue said. "Tomorrow we have to be careful and attentive to not lose any seconds in the final three kilometers. The finish is not any easy one."

BMC Racing Team's Greg Van Avermaet took the overall lead at the Tour de Wallonie Sunday thanks to second place on a stage that finished with the steep climb of the Mur Saint-Roch.
Terrific Leadout
After receiving an impressive leadout into the final corner from his teammtes, Van Avermaet stayed in the slipstream of Alessandro Ballan before going clear with the finish in sight. But on the steep climb he was unable to hold off Joost Vanleijen (Vacansoleil), who overtook him in the final 200 meters to get the victory. "I tried to win the stage by going early," Van Avermaet said. "The team did very good work to put me in the front and Ballan did a great job. We had a gap, but there was still 500 meters to go." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe said Taylor Phiney and Martin Kohler did a good job of keeping the field together in the final 10 kilometers of the 194-kilometer race.

As promised here is my review of my 2008 FireCat with updated limbs and Cat2 cams.
I got the limbs Dec. 17th and installed them using the original Cat cams and new Roto cups. The limbs rely on machined side plates on the Roto cups for alignment. They are not drilled and pegged on the underside of the limbs so they can "float" longitudinally in the Roto cups. They only thing I can see to keep them from sliding is the limb bolt. This may work. Time will tell.
The Roto cups sit in the riser the same as the old ones so no shifting should occur here. The limbs are narrower and the limb forks so shorter axles are needed (included in the package). There are two thin (1/16") washers on each side of the cam. Cam lean was very evident and very bad at full draw. A call to Joel at Martin confirmed that the older Cat cams are not compatgable with the new limbs. He sent me a pair of 2010 Cat2 cams which I installed in about 15 minutes.
Bow specs fell within a reasonable proximity to factory with the ATA being 32 1/4" (both sides) and the brace height being 6 7/8". Draw weight peaked at 53# with 50# (1M) limbs.
At first glance there appeared to be no cam lean and a straight edge held along the side of the cam and parallel to the string confirmed that there is virtually no cam lean at rest. I removed the cables from the cable slide and checked again, with the same results. At full draw I could see no cam lean so I had a friend look from behind me as I stood and aimed. He said he couldn't see much of any cam lean at full draw. So far, so good.
Now for the tuning. I tied on a nockset 1/4" above square and moved the centershot in toward the riser. The centershot is closer with these new limbs, about 1/8". Put in a peep and took a shot at 10 yards with my old 20 yard sight setting. It was off a little with the first arrow hitting low in the X-ring on a Vegas face. Pretty darn close for a thrown together remake.
Bow is quiet and performing as well as can be expected. More work to come, as I don't have properly spined arrows for my setup. Bare shaft at 15 yards and paper tuning both show the same thing. Nocking point is right on and left tear through paper (stiff arrow for me). Need new arrows anyway with a softer spine.
Here some info about the new Cat2 cams. The cams have been redesigned to minimize cam lean. The cable track around the inner part of the cam is machined in spiral, meaning that as the cam rolls over the cables tracks deeper into the physical center of the cam. This is what helps with the cam lean as the pressure from the cable is shifted more toward the physical center of the limb forks, evening the pressure. The spiral (or helical if you will) isn't real noticable till you look hard, but it's there. It appears to work well.
The modules are different, too. First off they are not a silvery color, but more of a charcoal. They are narrower with a deeper groove for the cable to track into and the outer edge is rounded where so many people were getting severe cable serving wear. Also, there is a little gap between the cable and the module (at least on my bow) so this should help, too.
My shooting keeps going down hill along with muscle depletion so shooting test won't mean much to people, but with the bow set for 26.5 " draw, 42# of draw weight, and a 275gr arrow the bow chrono's at 256 fps. With some tweaking I should be able to get 260 fps to 265 fps out of it.
The only other thing I would say is that it has new Stone Mountain strings (Martin). I put a peep in right away and am having no peep rotation as of yet, with approximately 100 shots through the bow yesterday. My shoulder hurt today.
OK, now I'm open to questions and/or suggestions.

Apparently, Nielsen didn't like what he deemed a reversal of Microsoft's user interface strategy, one that differs from the traditional Bill Gates-driven style that emphasizes powerful commands. He said Microsoft has "gone soft" and "smothers" users with big colorful tiles while hiding needed features.
"One of the worst aspects of Windows 8 for power users is that the product's very name has become a misnomer. Windows no longer supports multiple windows on the screen," Nielsen wrote in a blog post. "Win8 does have an option to temporarily show a second area in a small part of the screen, but none of our test users were able to make this work. Also, the main UI [user interface] restricts users to a single window, so the product ought to be renamed 'Microsoft Window.' "
Sacrificing Usability for Looks?
As Nielsen sees it, the single-window strategy works well on tablets and is a must on a small phone screen. But with a big monitor and dozens of applications and Web sites running simultaneously, he said, a high-end PC user definitely benefits from the ability to see multiple windows at the same time.
"When users can't view several windows simultaneously, they must keep information from one window in short-term memory while they activate another window. This is problematic for two reasons," Nielsen said. "First, human short-term memory is notoriously weak, and second, the very task of having to manipulate a window -- instead of simply glancing at one that's already open -- further taxes the user's cognitive resources."
Nielsen said the new user interface sacrifices usability on the altar of looking different. He called the icons flat, monochromatic, and coarsely simplified. He said the overly live tiles backfire and that the application designers went overboard. He also complained that the charms are hidden in generic commands. Charms are a panel of icons that slide in from the screen's right side after a flicking gesture from the right edge on a tablet or after pointing the mouse to the screen's upper right corner on a computer.
"In practice, the charms work poorly -- at least for new users. The old saying, out of sight, out of mind, turned out to be accurate," Nielsen said. "Because the charms are hidden, our users often forgot to summon them, even when they needed them. In applications such as Epicurious, which included a visible reminder of the search feature, users turned to search much more frequently." (continued...)

In 2012, Master Luthier Gordy Bischoff teamed up with longtime friend, Justin Vernon, the Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter and front man of Bon Iver, to develop "The 1608" a baritone guitar made with original white oak from Bushmills Irish Whiskey barrels in his instrument shop located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Entitled "The 1608", this recent collaboration aims to support "Since Way Back", a local charity that promotes artistic development around the Eau Claire community.
This artisan crafted Tenor Uke comes from that collaboration.

He is kinda in agreement (he likes to be hard headed). So it looks like I will be getting him something. I dont want to break $200 as he will probably lose interest.

"The program includes musical performances by small musical groups from Woodland Middle School and the Woodland Jazz Band," Band Director Eric Willoughby said. "The music performed throughout the night is a variety of classic and popular jazz charts. Formal dinner is included in the ticket price.
"There is also a huge silent auction that includes a number of great items.
WHS Band Booster Association President Danel Lins cited recent accomplishments of the jazz band, including earning second place in the 2012 Atlanta Youth Band Competition, later performing on the main stage of the Atlanta Jazz Festival last May.
"The Woodland High School band program seeks to be an organization to include students of all levels and to provide a quality experience with opportunities to develop as advanced musicians and good citizens," Lins said in a press release.
He added, "The band program receives very little funding from the school system, so to carry out our mission, we must rely on the involvement and generosity of our community. Enchanted Evening is one of just a few key fundraisers sponsored by our band boosters."
Proceeds from the event will directly support the WHS band program and help cover expenses such as instrument purchases and new uniforms. Tickets are $18 per person and include a meal and dessert.
"You can kick up your heels if you care to enjoy the dance floor, and you also have the opportunity to participate in a prize-packed silent auction," Lins said. "Auction items include a four pack of Disney World Park Hopper passes, hotel stays at the Embassy Suites and Hilton Garden Inn, a pontoon rental, tickets to Six Flags, Dollywood, and other area attractions, and food, games, jewelry and much more."

World road champion Cadel Evans, U.S national road champion George Hincapie and former world road champion Alessandro Ballan headline the BMC Racing Team's roster for its first Tour de France.
Setting Objectives
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue announced the team's nine-man roster for the 21-day, 3,642-kilometer race which begins July 3 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Joining Evans (AUS), Hincapie (USA) and Ballan (ITA) are Brent Bookwalter (USA), Marcus Burghardt (GER), Mathias Frank (SUI), Karsten Kroon (NED), Steve Morabito (SUI) and Mauro Santambrogio (ITA). Evans, Hincapie, Burghardt and Kroon are all past Tour stage winners.
Strong Team Support
Lelangue said the team's sole objective is to be competitive and to make the best result. "The best result for the BMC Racing Team is looking to the highest step on the podium," Lelangue said. "With Cadel, we come to the Tour clearly with one objective – one leader. All of the team will be focusing on supporting him." Nearly 25 years after Jim Ochowicz made history by managing the first American team in the Tour in 1986, the BMC Racing Team's president said he has realistic expectations. "We'll have our day in the sun there and we'll have some tough days as well," Ochowicz said. "But overall, it will be a great experience for the BMC Racing Team."
Evans Experiencing Success
Evans is a two-time Tour runner-up (2007, 2008) and was fifth overall at the Giro d'Italia this year. The Australian said his season has gone well, but he hopes for more. "Leading into the Tour, things seem to be coming together," Evans said. "For me, the Giro was a bit more fatiguing than I expected, possible because of the health problems I encountered. We will see during the Tour how my alternative race program goes."
Hincapie: Tough First Week
Hincapie will be making his 15th Tour start, one shy of Joop Zoetemelk's record.
The three-time U.S. national champion said the first week of the Tour may figure prominently. "There are cobblestones in the mix and small roads and wind and possible bad weather conditions, so it can be very hectic," he said. "I think the first week this year can blow the whole race wide open."
Ballan On Form To Help
Missing the Giro was a disappointment for Ballan. But the 2008 world road champion said he is on form and ready to support Evans. "I was most worried about not returning in time to be selected for the Tour de France," Ballan said. "I had hoped to help Cadel at the Giro but was unable to participate. Now I can work 100 percent for him at the Tour."

A patient originally from Puerto Rico but now living in Texas attended PHA's 8th International PH Conference in Houston and noticed that there was no support group or organization for residents of Puerto Rico. Although Evelyn Crespo lives in Texas, she travels frequently to Puerto Rico and contacted PHA almost immediately after Conference to determine what steps she should take to organize a group there.

This is a slow but excellent quality x264 video codec which give good results up to a max resolution of 1280x720 (HD).
Created from x264 preset examples.
- Set your projects profile
- When rendering decide if you want interlaced video to be converted to progressive = use the 'Force Progressive' setting.
- optional you can decide if you want to have a different output size.
Audio codec:
I have chosen the mp2 codec because it can easy be used on all kind of devices as well. Another reason is that faac is not always available in ffmpeg. I also tested ac3 but some players crashed when testing (kaffeine)
Video codec:
This profile uses the video input frame-rate and video aspect-ratio and project-size also for the output video. You can rescale the video. You do not have to set audio and video bit-rate.

It's no doubt that the combination of warm and sunny weather, breathtaking sunsets and the soundtrack of crashing waves makes Malibu Beach Inn an idyllic setting for romance. And from time to time, we're lucky enough to witness two hearts become one.
It's our pleasure to share with you the story of Jonathan & Marian…
"I was in LA for a few weeks on business and had planned to propose to my girlfriend of two years when she visited. My colleague, who got married in Malibu about ten years ago, said he knew just the place. Upon first glance of the stunning view through the lobby of the Malibu Beach Inn, I knew it had to be the spot. The staff was extremely gracious & helpful in arranging my plans. The day finally arrived. We spent the afternoon sight seeing along the coast, strolled along the beach and pier to catch a perfect sunset, and returned to our room. With moonlit waves and a warm fireplace as backdrop, I expressed my love to the woman of my dreams, fell to one knee on our balcony, and asked her to spend the rest of her days with me. Fortune smiled and she said yes! We'll no doubt be returning for future anniversaries, to enjoy the idyllic setting and hospitality, and to relive this beautiful memory." - Jonathan M.
We wish you all the best and look forward to helping you celebrate many anniversaries together, Jonathan & Marian!
Jonathan & Marian celebrating their engagement at The Malibu Beach Inn
Oftentimes our guests ask us about the history of Malibu Beach Inn. Perhaps they visited the area many years ago and have vague memories of a tiki-themed restaurant where the hotel now sits. Or even more common, they wonder what happened to that bright pink hotel that used to be here?
We'd like to invite you to take a walk with us through the history of Malibu Beach Inn…
From 1961 through the mid-80's, 22878 Pacific Coast Highway – the current address of Malibu Beach Inn – was home to two popular tiki-themed restaurants: the Tonga Lei Polynesian Restaurant for much of the 60's, 70's and 80's and the Don the Beachcomber Inn for a short stint in the mid-80's.
Then, in 1989, 22878 Pacific Coast Highway became the official home of the Malibu Beach Inn…
Yes, it was pink. Very pink. What can we say? Pink and green were synonymous with tropical paradise back then. And with a prime location and views of the ocean from every room, you couldn't get much closer to paradise than this…
In October 2006, it was decided that the pink had outstayed its welcome and it was time for a more refined, updated look. Malibu Beach Inn underwent extensive renovations, including completely refinished interiors and exteriors, the addition of the Carbon Beach Club and expanded meeting space, all designed to complement the property's location on Malibu's exclusive Carbon Beach.
And finally, in October 2007, after renovations were complete, Malibu Beach Inn re-opened its doors as the only luxury oceanfront hotel in Malibu, offering unparalleled levels of luxury and service…not to mention absolutely stunning views!
One of the most noticeable changes was the stately, yet elegant entrance.
And of course, since the former property did not have a restaurant, Carbon Beach Club was a remarkable addition that continues to be a favorite dining spot for hotel guests and local residents.
And finally, the brand new CURE Spa at Malibu Beach Inn was unveiled, allowing hotel guests and local residents to enjoy luxurious spa treatments by top professionals in an atmosphere of sophistication.
Although our appearance may change, it remains our quest to continue providing nothing less than an immaculate oceanfront getaway and unprecedented, impeccable service.
We look forward to continuing our history with you…
