Not your regular curio shop, you will find original treasures that have been gathered from all corners of the African continent. A range of collectable sculptures, home-ware and furnishings will allow you to recreate 'the safari dream' within your own home. Artefacts, as well as authentic carvings and jewellery created by local craftsmen are just a few of the treasures you may find to take home as gifts. Amongst beautiful museum quality, fine-art prints and works by some of the most respected artists on the continent, there are many pieces especially designed for Singita. Here too you can find a range of quality branded Singita safari wear.
We offer a worldwide shipping service so you may make your purchases at the lodges with the option to send them straight home.
Community tour
Guests at Singita Grumeti have the opportunity to visit the Environmental Education Centre, which was developed for the young people of the local communities, to meet the students and learn about the programme. The Centre is dedicated to instilling in its students an understanding of the Serengeti Ecosystem and provides education on the rationale behind "protected areas" and on general, local and global environmental issues.
Game drive
Daily game drives with professional guides and trackers provide the perfect opportunity to get up close to Africa's incredible animals, while spot lit nighttime drives reveal the elusive magic of nocturnal Africa. Our game drives are all conducted in state-of-the-art Land Cruisers, each accommodating a maximum of six guests. During your stay at Singita Grumeti, you are likely to spot a great variety of wildlife including cheetah, bearded wildebeest, bat eared fox, black rhino, Maasai giraffe, lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, zebra and the rare Colobus monkey.
Fully equipped gyms are available for guests' convenience. Each facility provides picturesque views of the plains, allowing you to keep an eye on the action outside while you work out.
Premier wine boutique
As one of Africa's most influential buyers of wine, Singita's cellars are home to some of the most sought-after private reserves and vintage wines the continent has to offer. Whether you are a connoisseur or just enjoy the occasional glass of wine, our experienced sommeliers delight in introducing guests to a vast selection of varietals from all over the world.
Through Singita Premier Wine Direct guests may purchase wines from our cellars: either to be taken home at the end of their trip or conveniently delivered to their door. As an addition to cellar purchases, we have secured allocations of highly limited, sought-after wines, including 'Icons', 'Single Vineyard' and 'Limited Release' wines, directly from leading wineries in South Africa. Stored in temperature-controlled cellars, these wines are unlikely to be available anywhere else.
The Singita wellness philosophy takes personal rejuvenation to a level well beyond any pampering you've previously experienced. All of our peaceful lodge spas, where nature provides its own special calm, present the ultimate escape, sure to restore equilibrium and peace to body and mind.
There are two pools at the main lodge area at Singita Faru Faru Lodge as well as a private infinity pool at the lodge's private villa suite.

Hawaii Football Coach's Anti-Gay Slur
McMackin referred to a dance the Irish performed during a banquet before the game as a "little faggot dance."
Moreover, McMackin used the term "faggot" three times while explaining why Notre Dame was so fired up to play Hawaii in the game, which Hawaii lost 21-49.
As soon as he said it he seemed to realize the implications it would have, and he asked the reporters there not to relay his statements.
So far no one involved with the football program at Hawaii is saying much, but McMackin is meeting today with Hawaii athletic director Jim Donovan, so we will see what comes from that.
Below is the apology that McMackin issued yesterday. What do you think? Leave us a comment and let us know.
"I would sincerely like to apologize for the inappropriate verbiage of words that I used. I have nothing against the University of Notre Dame. I don't talk like that. I'm really ticked off at myself for saying that. I don't have any prejudices. It really makes me mad that I said that. I'm disappointed in myself.
"It ticks me off that I said that because Notre Dame played a great ball game. What I was trying to do was be funny, and I wasn't funny, and it's not funny. Even more, it isn't funny to me. I was trying to make a joke. It was a bad choice of words. I really, really feel that.
"I wanted to apologize. I'm going to apologize to my team. I'm going to apologize to the people of Hawai'i. ... All I can do is apologize, and I feel bad that I used those words. It was really stupid. I just feel really bad. I apologize."
6 comments:
If you've seen the video, the man's posture and the look on his face during his apology seem very sincere. Hawaii will take appropriate action, after all, the state as a whole celebrates and encourages diversity. For PFLAG to demand that the coach make a $10,000 donation is ridiculous. Surely, PFLAG can raise funds and awareness for its positive mission through more productive means. Demand an apology, but not money. That's petty.

Sounds to me like he doesn't realize who he really should be apologizing to.
- August 2, 2009 at 12:24 PM
- Erin Williams said...
To be clear, PFLAG did not demand any moeny ($10,000 or otherwise) from Coach McMackin. We simply posted this article to bring attention to his comments.

The guy is a homophobic idiot but shaking him down for $10k is a bit much. Just name and shame.

Could people with knowledge in Commutative Rings elaborate on this sentence from the Wikipedia article (Ideals and Factor Rings subsection, first sentence):
The inner structure of a commutative ring is determined by considering its ideals, i.e. nonempty subsets that are closed under multiplication with arbitrary ring elements and addition
The sentence seems to imply that knowing what are the ideals in the ring, we learn alot about its structure. In particular, what do the ideals in a ring tell us about its structure..?

STEUBENVILLE - With no Powerball winner since Oct. 6, the game's jackpot has reached a record $500 million, and local residents are buying tickets in the hopes of sharing in the prize.
Laura Corsi said that demand for Powerball tickets had been "non-stop" all day Tuesday at the Convenient Food Mart at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Lovers Lane in Steubenville.
"People have been buying $20, $30, $40 and $50 worth," she said, adding that not only had more people been purchasing tickets, but those who were regular lotto players were purchasing more tickets.

THE WINNING TICKET? — Tomi Skeens of Toronto fills out a Powerball form Tuesday at the Convenient Food Mart at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Lovers Lane in Steubenville. -Summer Wallace-Minger
Summer Wallace-Minger
A LOT OF MONEY — Dennis Barnhart purchases a Powerball ticket from cashier Diane Bertha at the Marland Heights Deli and More Tuesday. - Summer Wallace-Minger
The jackpot was first posted at $425 million Tuesday morning but revised upward to $500 million when brisk sales increased the payout. It's the second highest jackpot in lottery history, behind only the $656 million Mega Millions prize in March. It took nine weeks for the Mega Millions jackpot to get that high, before three winners - from Kansas, Illinois and Maryland - hit the right numbers, each collecting $218.6 million for their share of the split.
Tomi Skeens, who stopped in to purchase a ticket, said if she won the jackpot, she would share the money with family and friends and help disabled veterans, while Corsi said she would likely quit working.
"I'd probably gamble it all away," admitted Nathan Paulmar, an employee at the store.
Corsi said that a $10,000 Kicker ticket and a $120,000 Rolling Cash 5 ticket had been sold at the store and added she hoped the winning Powerball ticket would be among the scores being purchased there.
"We've got the best staff - the friendliest and best service," she said.
Powerball has posted sales exceeding $714 million in the current jackpot run since early October and it's possible more than $1 billion in tickets will have been sold by the time the drawing is held at 10:59 p.m. today. The odds of any single ticket winning the big prize are 1 in 175 million.
A single winner choosing the cash option would take home more than $327 million before taxes.
Across the river, at Marland Heights Deli and More, located at 3815 Bright Way, Diane Bertha said the store hasn't had any big winners and is due for a win.
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if this were the winning ticket?" she asked, selling a ticket to Dennis Barnhart of Weirton.
Kimberly Hicks of Weirton said she would pay her parents' bills if she won.
"I'd take care of them for the rest of their lives," she said.
Bertha said demand for the tickets has increased recently, and many of those who are regular lotto customers are purchasing more tickets.
Frank Grieco of Weirton said he would like to purchase some land and open a business.
"It would be doing something I liked, and it wouldn't matter if I made money or not," he said.
Bertha said, if she were to win, she would purchase new cars for her children and beach houses - one for herself and one for visitors.
"I'd probably spend a month at the Mall of America," she said. "I'd be shopping and sunbathing - those are two things I'm good at."
Powerball tickets doubled in price in January to $2, and while the number of tickets sold initially dropped, sales revenue has increased by about 35 percent over 2011.
Sales for Powerball reached a record $3.96 billion in fiscal 2012 and are expected to reach $5 billion this year, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Des Moines, Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association, the group that runs the Powerball game.
With soaring jackpots come soaring sales, and for the states playing the game, that means higher revenue.
"The purpose for the lottery is to generate revenue for the respective states and their beneficiary programs," said Norm Lingle, chairman of the Powerball Game Group. "High jackpots certainly help the lottery achieve those goals."
Of the $2 cost of a Powerball ticket, $1 goes to the prizes and the other dollar is kept by the state lottery organization, said Lingle, who also is executive director of the South Dakota Lottery. After administrative overhead is paid, the remaining amount goes to that state's beneficiary programs.
Some states designate specific expenditures such as education, while others deposit the money in their general fund to help supplement tax revenue.
The federal government keeps 25 percent of the jackpot for federal taxes.
Most states withhold between 5 percent and 7 percent. There's no withholding in states without a state income tax such as Delaware, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Texas. A New York City winner would pay more than 12 percent since the state takes 8.97 percent and the city keeps 3.6 percent.
Powerball and Mega Millions games are seeing jackpots grow faster and higher in part because the states that play both games agreed in 2010 to sell to one another.
Both games are now played in 42 states, Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands. The larger pool of players means jackpots roll over to higher numbers faster, which tends to increase the buzz about the jackpots which increases sales. It all can result in higher jackpots sooner.
"It really happened when both of these games became national games," said Terry Rich, CEO of the Iowa Lottery.
Still, just seven of the top 25 jackpots occurred after January 2010 when the cross-selling began. That just points to the unpredictability of games of chance like lotteries. It still comes down to the luck of the numbers, Rich said.
It has been proven that once the jackpot reaches a certain threshold more players buy.
Between $20 and $30 million in tickets were sold between Wednesday and Saturday drawings for most of October. Once the jackpot hit $100 million on Oct. 27, nearly $38 million worth of tickets were sold by Oct. 31. As the jackpot grew to more than $200 million on Nov. 17, sales surged by nearly $70 million by the next Wednesday. Then the jackpot reached more than $300 million on Nov. 24 and ticket sales during the next four days surpassed $140 million.
"Somewhere around $100 million those occasional players seem to come back into the stores in droves," said Rich, the Iowa Lottery CEO. The lottery also notices a significant increase in workers and other groups joining together in pools to combine resources to buy numbers, he said.
Strutt said the chance of getting a winner today is approaching 60 percent.

It seems odd to me that MySQL would not handle this internally: "Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction"
Does Oracle DB work around this issue? After all, Oracle owns InnoDB.
It seems odd to me that MySQL would not handle this internally: "Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction"
Does Oracle DB work around this issue? After all, Oracle owns InnoDB.
No database can possibly work around deadlock errors in general-- in Oracle, a deadlock indicates a bug in the application, not in the database. The Oracle database will detect the deadlock condition (i.e. session A has a lock that session B is waiting on and session B has a lock that session A is waiting on) and terminate one of the blocked statements to resolve the problem. Your application ought to avoid creating a deadlock in the first place-- one option is to always generate locks in the same order in every session.
Deadlock Detection and Resolution Issues has been around as long as RDBMSs have. Even though Oracle owns InnoDB, do not expect Oracle to fix InnoDB. Most applications are to blame for deadlocks, not so much the RDBMS. Regardless of Oracle, MySQL or any other RDBMS, a Deadlock Error can rear its ugly head.
Oracle acquired InnoDB October 7, 2005 when the partnership between InnoBase Oy and MySQL expired and MySQL was lax in renewing. IMHO, Oracle tried to stem the tide of MySQL by doing so. Sure, it has made commitments to improve InnoDB and MySQL. It has no choice now due to PR and possible antitrust issues. In light of this, we should not expect InnoDB to have improvements that would overshadow or become comparable to Oracle.
Getting away from business politics now, look at InnoDB on its own. It has the variable innodb_lock_wait_time. That option is there to provide for increasing or decreasing the length of time to permit a lock to succeed, and nothing more.
If deadlocks occur internally, I would normally look to the clustered index as the victim in InnoDB because non-clustered indexes drag clustered index pointers as well. Updating a row in InnoDB where indexed columns are updated, I expect a deadlock to occur due to the clustered index. Performing SELECT ... FOR UPDATE or SELECT ... LOCK IN SHARE MODE could exacerbate the problem more.
How Oracle handles it internally (if they have handled it) would be one of among the long list of things that give it the edge over MySQL. I do not expect Oracle to provide that same edge to an Open Source/Freeware product unless it is Oracle XE.
Deadlocks are a fact of life on all databases, and Oracle is no exception. There is no magic that can be done in this situation - it is a fundamental consequence of concurrency (letting multiple users access the data at the same time without harming integrity):
What Oracle has had for a long time is an excellent implementation of MVCC - read about it in the very useful Concepts guide.
I'll just add that Oracle owning InnoDB is unlikely to make much difference to how InnoDB works deep down at the level of concurrency control - although as I understand it the way they both implement MVCC achieves basically the same thing (as long as you are not mixing tables using other storage engines in your MySQL queries - though you couldn't fault InnoDB in that case)

similar questions have been asked, but the answers don't fully suit me because they are centered on issues other than the audio interface itself, which is my main incognita
Equipment setup for recording a podcast
What production tools should we look at for a weekly podcast
I want to get some cheap box with three or four inputs to do a live radio show. Amazing quality is not an issue, but I do want to have the voices as separate tracks (to apply cheesy effects to them), and I want to be able to plug cheap mikes with jack/minijack connections. And it should be under the 100 bucks mark. If there's nothing under that, i'll just go for this http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/1204USB.aspx which is 150 in amazon i guess (edit: the behringer doesnt give me separate tracks, thought it was too good to be true!)
I'm looking at a m-audio Quattro on ebay going on for cheap, will something like that do?Can i plug cheap mikes to that and have everything as separate tracks?

Victoria Ghost Chair by Kartell
Set of 2
designed by Philippe Starck
An armless sister to the Louis Ghost Chair, Victoria holds her own by being colorful, more adaptive, and just as odd and visually arresting. The backing of the chair is the same clear plastic medallion, the form still a clash of old world style and new world material.
What's to Like:
The personality of this chair can change at a whim, with all the different colors of translucent plastic you can choose from. Go with black, orange, yellow - they're all ghostly, all works of modern art, all their own unique energy.
What's Not to Like:
There are no arms on these chairs, unlike the Louis Ghost Chairs. So if you're looking for a more comfortable and luxurious side chair with the same look, look there.
Bottom Line:
These are very pretty chairs with an almost intellectual fascination. They're a mash-up of the modern and the classic, the new age and gilded one.
This is a chair born of classic lines. Its rounded backrest recalls the shape of antique medallions, while its seat is linear and geometric.
Victoria Ghost is made of transparent or colored polycarbonate and is formed in a single injection mold. It is stable, comfortable, robust, and scratch and weather resistant. Once more, Kartell has created a chair using technological know-how they have mastered over the years in their production of designer articles that make the company world renowned. Stacks 7 high.
The Victoria Ghost Chair is part of our scintillating list, Top 10: Furniture that Could Appear in A Clockwork Orange.
Materials & Measurements
Overall: 19.2" h x 15" w x 20.5" d
Seat height: 18.1"
Weight: 7.9 lbs

I love my new RD16 head, but where should i put the second bolt?
I need 6 shots around, and when I insert the bolt in the holes to the left of the lock bolt the incremental steps are getting very small.
Where do you put it. Or do you cut it off.
Is there a manual for this thing - I cannot find it on the site.

Write each of the following expressions in the form $ca^pb^q$ where $c$, $p$, $q$ are numbers:
$\dfrac{(2a^2)^3}{b}$ solved
$\sqrt{9ab^3}$ solved
$\dfrac{a(2/b)}{3/a}$ solved
$\dfrac{ab-a}{b^2-b}$ I tried and got to, $(ab-a)(b^2-b)^{-1}$. I know I'm supposed to bring $b^2-b$ to the top somehow because the answer calls for no fractions. That's all I have for that one.
$\dfrac{a^{-1}}{b^{-1}\sqrt{a}}$ I've figured out that $\sqrt(a) = a^{\frac{1}{2}}$. I also brought $b$ to the top and $a$ to the bottom to acquire; $1b^1/1a^1(a^{\frac{1}{2}})$. That's as far as I've gotten on that problem.
$\left(\dfrac{a^{2/3}}{b^{1/2}}\right)^2 \cdot \dfrac{b^{3/2}}{a^{1/2}}$ I am completely clueless on this one. Any help would be accepted.

HANNIBAL - As the Upper Ohio Valley waits to see if Ormet Corp. will continue operating, a state agency believes other American Electric Power customers are subsidizing the company with $305 million in electricity discounts.
"We support economic development, but there must be a balanced approach," said Maureen Grady, counsel of record for the Ohio Consumers' Counsel. "That is a lot of money for ratepayers to be giving to a corporation."
The counsel is the statewide legal representative for Ohio's residential consumers in matters related to utility services. It advocates for residential consumers before the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio with a nine-member, bipartisan governing board.
AEP spokesman Jeff Rennie said his company could not "speculate on the amount that customers might have to pay under the Ormet unique arrangement."
"There are several variables including future fuel costs and customer usage that we cannot predict and that would substantially impact the total," Rennie added.
In a November filing with the PUCO, the Ohio Consumers' Counsel states Ormet originally got the discounted electricity rate in July 2009 for a period of 10 years.
"The customers of AEP Ohio were ordered to fund the discount, reimbursing AEP Ohio for the discount to Ormet. Over the term of the arrangement, the discount customers are expected to pay is $305.7 million," the counsel's filing states.
"Our agency had to get involved - Ormet asked for a whole lot more," Grady said. "This was only supposed to be a stop-gap measure."
The filing also states Ormet "must maintain 650 full-time employees for Ohio" in order for the electricity program to continue.
This summer, Ormet issued a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice stating the company may lay off nearly 1,000 employees by the end of the year. Ormet cited a PUCO ruling that would increase its AEP bills by about $20 million per year - as well as low aluminum prices on the London Metal Exchange - as reasons for the company's difficulties.
Tom Byers, president of United Steelworkers Local 5724 at Ormet, confirmed that 102 union workers received layoff notices in September, but later said some of those workers had returned to the job. He could not be reached for comment for this report but said in November that employment levels have remained fairly stable with about 82 workers now displaced.
