Can someone tell me if it damages the Output Power Transformer to power the Amp "ON" with NO speaker plugged in to the amp? I'm wondering if that could be one reason for so many power transformer failures.
Posted 15 July 2013 - 03:41 PM
Posted 15 July 2013 - 05:38 PM
You should never ever switch on a valve amp without the speaker plugged in!!
i know that.... but WHY??? My question is.... "does it actuacally damage the Output Power Transformer if the amp is powered on with NO speaker hooked up"? Or, is that only bad for the tubes? Anyone ???
Posted 16 July 2013 - 07:28 AM
If you leave the standby switch off, then you should be fine. It would still be dangerous though, as turning the standby switch to on can be easily done by accident.
I use to do this a lot with a previous band and a SV MKii Head. We used in-ears, so I didn't need the cab at practice. I would just use the head on standby. However, I kept a small cheap 80 watt home theater speaker at the practice space that I would hook to the head, just in case i hit the standby switch.
Posted 16 July 2013 - 01:45 PM
Posted 16 July 2013 - 06:37 PM
Power transformers and output transformers are two different things. The problem many of us had were due to power transformers, which are the transformers in the main power supply that convert the 120V (or 220V) input voltage to the various supply voltages used in the amp's circuitry. These are the bigger, heavier transformers and endure the most stress.
The output transformers sit near the end of the signal path between the power amp tubes and the speaker and are used mainly to convert the output impedance of the amp circuit to match the impedance of the speaker.
I'm no amp expert, but you can think of an analogy of a sneeze. Unplugging your speaker and playing through your amp is like sneezing while plugging your nose and shutting your mouth. All that energy has to be dissipated. The sneeze must be released or your head would explode! In an amp, the amplified power must be dissipated to the speaker, where the energy is converted to physical motion, otherwise the amp's circuitry would blow at the weakest link, wherever it may be.
I doubt that just turning your amp on would cause a problem, I believe it would be a problem only while playing and cranking up the volume to get the circuitry working. In other words, when there is sufficient energy to blow the weakest link.
Again, just my thoughts as a hobbyist. Others can correct me if need be.
Posted 21 July 2013 - 08:10 PM
Thank you for a respectful and intellegent answer, RP. Exactly what I needed to know. We all have to start some where, right? Unbelievebly.... I was given a DT-50 that has an issue (hopefully only 1 or 2). I installed a new pair of EL34's and they both began to redplate (glowing plates) within about a minute after switching from Class A power to Class A/B power.
I found a blown F2 fuse and replaced it. I had and old pair of EL34's that I put in it when I got it home, and it appeared to be working good on all settings. So, I thought..... "hummmm, maybe I got lucky???". So... I ordered new tubes, installed them and they both began to redplate within a minute. So..... I shut it down and let it cool, put the old tubes back in.... and now it works again, without redplating??????????????????????
I'm hoping someone out there has some knowledge in this area and might point me in the right direction. I'm suspecting maybe a cap in the bias section (if this thing has one?). Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I feel bad Toneman. I just wondered what that button did.... now I know.
Posted 04 August 2013 - 02:43 PM
My transformer blew in early March. I took it in. Then got the tech 059 bulletin email and that was done while it was there. Got it back about 2 weeks ago. In class A pentode mode there is a rattling sound coming from the speaker when I resonate notes. Took it back. Hopefully will get it back in 3 months or so. I bought a 2nd DT50 at the time it blew.
So... I will wait and see.
Good news is the amp was 2 months out of warranty and Line6 honored all repairs.

CALM study: A phase II study of an intratumorally delivered oncolytic immunotherapeutic agent, coxsackievirus A21, in patients with stage IIIc and stage IV malignant melanoma.
Abstracts that were granted an exception in accordance with ASCO's Conflict of Interest Policy are designated with a caret symbol (^).
Background: Coxsackievirus A21 is an oncolytic immunotherapy consisting of a bio-selected oncolytic strain of Coxsackievirus A21. Following intratumoral injection, preferential tumor infection causes cell lysis and enhancement of a systemic anti-tumor immune response. We present interim findings of the open-labeled, multicenter Phase II Coxsackievirus A21 in Late stage Melanoma (CALM) study. Methods: The CALM study investigated the efficacy and safety of intratumoral Coxsackievirus A21 in 57 patients with treated or untreated unresectable Stage IIIC-IVM1c melanoma. Patients received up to 3 x 108 TCID50Coxsackievirus A21intratumorally on study days 1,3,5 and 8 and then every three weeks for a further 6 injections. Patients displaying immune-related progression-free survival (irPFS) or better at 6 months were eligible for 9 additional injections. Key eligibility criteria were ≥ 18 yrs old, ECOG 0-1, and at least 1 injectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, or nodal melanoma metastasis >1.0 cm. The primary endpoint was to achieve >9 of 54 evaluable patients with irPFS at 6 months. The irPFS was calculated as the proportion of patients demonstrating a Complete Response, Partial Response or Stable Disease by immune-related RECIST 1.1 (irRECIST 1.1) criteria 6 months after the initiation of treatment. Secondary endpoints included 1-year survival, irRECIST1.1 best overall response and safety. Results: The primary endpoint of the study was achieved with 14 of 40 (35%) evaluable patients displaying irPFS at 6 months. The number of patients surviving 1-year from the initial treatment is 13 of 21 (62%). Best overall response rate (irRECIST 1.1) is 24% (9 of 38 evaluable patients). Patients received on average 8.3 series of injections, with the most common side effects being Grade 1 fatigue, chills, local injection site reactions and fever. There were no Grade 3 or 4 product-related AE's. Conclusions: Intralesional Coxsackievirus A21 is a promising novel oncolytic immunotherapeutic agent in the treatment of unresectable Stage IIIC-IV M1c melanoma based on good patient tolerability, with both local and distant tumor responses. A randomized phase 2 clinical trial is planned. Clinical trial information: NCT01227551.

Recap: 'Survivor: Caramoan' – 'Kill or Be Killed'
Pre-credit sequence. The Fans have lost hope. Wait. Sorry. The Fans have lost Hope. "Where do you think we're going to go from here?" Eddie whines to Sherri. "It's mind-boggling that we got rid of Hope tonight because she was the prettiest one here and she was a threat to everybody because of that," says Eddie. Really, Eddie? Really? Ugh. Reynold tells Laura that she made him look like an idiot. Matt protests that this is part of the game, but Reynold says that he doesn't want to be associated with any of them and he has no respect for them. Eddie's all "Good luck winning after you vote me and Reynold off," to which somebody correctly notes that they haven't been winning with them either. I dislike Eddie a lot. And Reynold tells me Eddie could be next to go. I'm fine with that.
Serenity and The Conqueror. Over at the Favorites camp, The Specialist is relaxing and comparing himself to Napoleon. It turns out that Napoleon also liked to give people names, so Phillip decides to induct Brandon into Stealth R Us, just to placate him. Brandon is now The Conqueror. Brandon announces to use that he's been lying to Phillip. So… Everybody's lying. Also getting a nickname is Erik, who is now The Silent One. This makes Adorable Andrea jealous, because she doesn't think people who aren't truly in Stealth R Us should be getting names. "So what? Are we going to give Brenda a name?" Andrea asks incredulously. And guess what? We are! Brenda is now Serenity, which she gigglingly accepts.
Whatchoo talking 'bout, Shamar? The hashtag says this is just a #RewardChallenge. The task involves teams getting players from one platform to another and to another and then everybody getting onto a third, much smaller, platform. Want to know what they're playing for? A local bushman will come in with a housewarming gift and will teach them how to live off the land. The Fans are transporting Julia and Laura, while the Favorites are transporting Brenda and Andrea. The Favorites have the lead going to the final platform. Will they get the whole tribe balanced first? The Fans get an interesting strategy, with everybody climbing on top of Shamar. The Favorites still win, but Shamar thinks his tribe won. "That's what I'm talking about," Shamar bellows. Sigh. Alas, that was not what he was talking about. Reynold sees this as further proof of Laura's weakness.
Welcome to the Peach Pit. The bushman paddles to join the Favorites. They're psyched to see him. "Nothing could have prepared us for this little guy," Malcolm says of Tata. Joe E. Tata? No. Alas. But close! Tata instantly begins a series of demonstration, starting with a new way of cooking rice using bamboo. "He's like a Filipino Gollum," Malcolm observes, awesomely. "The way he functions is basically saying enigmatic things that no one understands," Cochran observes. So actually, Tata is more like a Filipino Yoda. I'm not sure what they learned from him, but he cooks them a very nice feast. "It was kinda dinner and a show," Cochran says. After dinner, Tata tears down their shelter and rebuilds it. For his trouble, Tata gets to dance around with Brenda and Adorable Andrea, which makes Cochran jealous enough to imply Tata was just storing up memories for his spank bank.
Eye Alone. The Fans return. Shamar is still celebrating his not-victory. Michael is bitter about how well-off the Favorites are. And Shamar needs a nap. "He doesn't do anything. It's just pure laziness," Eddie says. "Can you imagine being my size and how I feel?" Shamar asks, before telling everybody else that if they want him to stay, they're going to bring him rice once a day. He's kinda like the dragon who has to be fed or else he'll torch their village. Nobody knows if he's kidding. "I'm just thinking, 'How much longer can this go on?'" Reynold says. Even Laura has run out of sympathy for the man she calls "a big baby," but Sherri brings him the rice. Then… somehow… Shamar scratches his eyeball. Eddie is unimpressed. This has turned everybody against Shamar. THIS? Constantly awfulness? Tolerable. An irritated eye? Well, that's a bridge too far.
Eye am what eye am. We're sticking with the Fans, who are huddled up against a storm. And in come the rats. Thunder. Lightning. Rats. It's not a good night. The next morning, everything is black-and-white. "We believe that Shamar is going to quit," Michael says. Shamar is rocking back and forth in misery. Everybody's contemptuous of Shamar's eye. "I'm not thinking about the game. I just kinda want my eye fixed a little bit," Shamar says. In comes the boat, medical and Jeff Probst. Somehow, "Survivor" is resisting giving us a close-up on Shamar's eye. Ooops. Spoke too soon. It's red. The doc puts in an orange dye to try to diagnose. The doctor says there's a divot in his cornea next to his pupil. The doctor weighs in and says she'd like to pull him. Shamar cries as Jeff Probst explains the ramifications, but says his vision is more important. The rest of the tribe comes over. "I know that you really care about my well-being," Shamar tells them, even though there's barely an iota of genuine sincerity to be sense. "The people who know me know that I'm a strong guy," Shamar says as he headed off. Reynold gives an amazingly circular farewell. He acknowledges that maybe he underestimated how hurt Shamar's eye was, BUT "he's disrespectful, lazy and I'm just happy that he's gone." Reynold still knows he and Eddie will be targeted if they lose.
Attack the block. Immunity time and the Favorites are shocked to see the Shamar-free Fans, now down to seven. The task asks players to retrieve five keys from a water platform, use those keys to open a chest and use sandbags to knock blocks from a platform. Or something. The key retrieval isn't easy, but Erik and Brandon get the Favorites out to an early lead. The Favorites have all five keys ahead of the Fans and unlock their chest in first. Phillip is sandbag-tossing on his own, but can Reynold come from behind? It's an impressive comeback and Phillip is stymied by a sideways block. It doesn't matter. Favorites win Immunity! And it's another setback for the Fans, who are about to be three players down.
Reynold quotes "Annie Hall." The Fans congratulate Reynold for how close he came to actually winning. That's how far they've fallen. Eddie and Reynold know they're going to be targeted next, with Reynold assuming there will be an attempt to blindside him and take out the Idol. But Matt has other ideas. He goes to Michael and tells his chum that they need to win challenges and they can't do that if they take out Reynold or Eddie next. "I'm like 'There goes the alliance,'" Michael tells us. Michael worries about losing Laura, who he trusts, and keeping Mr. Awesome with the… TARSIER! I've missed the tarsier! Matt tells Reynold about the new plan. "Well, la di da. He's bald-faced lied to me on more occasions than I can count," an unimpressed Reynold says. So now Reynold doesn't have a clue if he wants to risk playing the Idol for nothing, or if he wants to trust Matt. Laura knows her name is being thrown around and that her tribe has lost confidence in her. Matt tells Sherri he's voting Laura. "When Laura's name got brought up, I was not on-board with it at all," says Sherri, who worries the guys may turn on the women. Is Michael suddenly the swing-vote? "There's no way to know what the right or wrong answer is gonna be," Michael says.
Tribal Council. Jeff Probst talks about Shamar. "Now that Shamar is gone, I think there's less tension around camp," Matt says, admitting Shamar helped in challenges. Sherri says she misses having Shamar in her alliance. Reynold tells everybody that they won't win challenges without him and Probst agrees this is a strong point. Laura says the vote is about physical strength or loyalty. "They're all about trust to each other, but we're losing, losing, losing," Reynold says. "We're still losing. Even with them," Sherri says. Eddie says Laura is the weakest player and Sherri is also weak. Laura suggests a jumble could come at any moment and loyalty would play a big role there. "I think tonight is the make-or-break factor for this tribe," Eddie says.
The vote. Eddie says "It's kill or be killed" and votes for Laura. [This ends Brandon's two-episode streak of naming episodes with out-of-context crazy-quotes.] Laura speaks of the Idol and writes Reynold's name. With little hesitation, Reynold plays his Idol. Probst tallies. Laura. Laura. Irrelevant Reynold. Laura. LAURA. Farewell, Laura. Tee-hee. Remember a month ago when I talked about how I'd never be able to tell Allie, Hope and Laura apart? Guess that isn't so important anymore. "As a view from the couch, you really only get to see one side," Laura says, suggesting it's hard to feel the difficulty of the game from my couch. [And, in the end, everybody voted for Laura, even Sherri and Julia.]
Bottom Line, Part I. That was probably a valuable episode, getting rid of Shamar. It was too bad that Shamar had to go out in the first episode in which we saw some of his potential physical prowess in that Reward challenge, but we also saw his lazy and spoiled side and there was no indication it was going to get any better. Laura got scapegoated for logical reasons in that Immunity Challenge — If you're too weak to open locks, that's an issue — but the Fans fell behind after the physical part of the task that she had nothing to do with. [I think one could make the argument that as good as Reynold was with sandbag tossing, he might have been more valuable keeping the Fans from getting lapped at the beginning.] They're just not going to be stronger than the Favorites and a tribal shuffle of some sort makes good dramatic sense, doesn't it? If I were the "Survivor" producers, I'd give the tribes one more elimination, get down to 14 players and shuffle. But that's just me. And in that case, keeping Laura and voting Eddie out has strategic value. Eddie and Reynold become threats either after a shuffle or after a Merge, so they've got less strategic value than a weak, unassuming pawn might. If you're going down 9-6 against a powerhouse tribe, you might as well be a cohesive six, right? Or am I figuring wrong? Guess what? Even if I'm figuring wrong, I'm glad that "Survivor" strategy has returned to the game after a few weeks away. Progress!
Bottom Line, Part II. Again, the editors struggled to find any way to handle the Favorites. For the episode, we got TWO segments with the Favorites. One was Phillip being Phillip, which served only to showcase Andrea's jealousy and to let Brenda do something for the first time in weeks. And the other was with Tata the Bushman. Tata the Bushman was awesome and he gave quote-machines Malcolm and Cochran the chance to be quote-machines. Ultimately, though, if there's an iota of strategy or realigning going on with the Favorites, we haven't seen it. We watched some alliances form in the first episode, then we watched those episodes fall apart, but there have been six or seven days in which the editors want us to believe that nothing has happened other than Phillip being crazy and Brandon being crazy. And as for the Scenes From Next Week… Ugh.
What'd you think of tonight's episode?

Panzer III - Medium Tank
A brandnew Panzer III of Panzerregiment 8, 15. Panzerdivision |
German re-armament plans in the 1930's called for the new panzer battalions to be constitued of three light-medium tank companies and one heavy-medium company. The lighter tank, wich was to form the bulk of the panzer force for much of the war and remain in production to its end, was the Panzerkampfwagen (PzKpfw or Panzer III). One reason for this sucess was that a turret ring diameter was specified that allow upgunning to higher-calibre weapons that 37mm (1.41in) gun originaly fitted.
Development began as early as 1935, and the earliest models were available by 1937, seeing service in the polish campaign. Despite problems with the suspension and thin armour, the Panzer III defeated all opposition in the Blitzkrieg campaigns, its only significant losses caused by Polish anti-tank guns. The first four models (Ausf A, B, C and D) differed mainly in suspesion details. The Ausf E introduced the definitive six-wheel main suspention and had thicker armour, and the Ausf F was basically similar. The first truly mass-produced version was the Asuf G, introduced in spring 1940: 600 of these were build, compared with a total of 601 of all previous versions.
A Panzer III Ausf H with short 50mm gun |
The Ausf H was the first model to introduce a heavier main armament - a 50mm (1.9in) KwK L/42 cannon - on theprodution line, although this was fitted to later Ausf Gs, prodution of wich continued in parallel. Many Ausf Fs, were retrofitted with features of the Ausf H, such as the turret basket and the 50mm (1.9in) cannon. Additional armour was build into H and added to many Fs and Gs. The only reliable way to identify an upgraded F or G was by reference to the sprocket wheel, wich had eight holes rater than the six on the H and later models.
Panzer IIIs with 50mm gun were the most effective tank in the early part of the North African campaign,able to defeat all Allied tanks until the arrival of the Sherman. In the invation of the USSR in 1941, this gun was rendered obsolet by the Soviet T-34. Subsequent models were fitted with a long-barreled 75mm (2.9in) cannon that had a chance of outranging Soviet tanks. prodution of the Panzer III models continued into July 1943, but assault guns and other derivatives were produced until May 1945.
Freshly arrived on the eve of the battle of El Alamein, a Panzer III Ausf J with KWK L/60 gun |

The community at Grace University is the best aspect. This goes right along with dorm life. Making you feel at home is a priority. There are places all over campus…
Everyone is just willing to get to know each other and just join in on the fun!…
I am an off-campus student, but I am adopted to a dorm. I am basically living there, and again everyone is super friendly. I think it's harder trying not to…
The cafeteria has a huge array of choices. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served on a daily basis (except for the weekends, I think). If you don't want what the main dish is for that day, you can make anything else you want. There is a salad bar, pasta bar, sandwich bar, and ice cream! They also provide skillets and burners if you would like to cook your own eggs, stir fries, etc.
Read MoreI am Hispanic so I think the food could be better, then again I am a picky eater. Sometimes they knock it out of the park, but other days you just make yourself a sandwich. The dinning commons is buffet style. My personal favorite is the abundant supply of ice-cream.
Read MoreMore variety, the cooks do their best and they have different options for different days.
Read MoreI doubt many people go to college for the food and although sometimes the cafeteria lacks variety, the man in charge is always looking for suggestions. He very willingly takes critique and works to meet all of our requests. I also know that many people look forward to the ice cream bar open at all meals.

Public Housing ID not Valid Voter Photo ID in Alabama
11/04/14The state of Alabama has told the NAACP Legal Defense Fund that public housing Identification will not be accepted as a form of photo ID to vote at the polls.

North Carolina's new voting law has been a hot topic of discussion—and litigation—this election year.
The law reduced the number of early voting days, eliminated same-day registration during early voting, and did away with the counting of out-of-precinct ballots. In 2016, voter ID is scheduled to take effect.

Advertisement Just about any wood pallet will do, if it's in decent enough shape. If you're planning on growing edibles in your garden, you'll want to be sure you find a pallet that's been heat-treated (not chemically sealed), otherwise there's not much else to worry about when choosing one. Along with the pallet and plenty of potting soil, the only other things you'll need before choosing your plants is a small roll of landscape fabric, and a staple gun to apply it to the pallet.The best part about using pallets is that they're generally free. Grocery stores get rid of them by the dozens, and usually have no problem with giving them to people who ask the management nicely. Just take a truck with you—they're not very kind to the paint on small cars. Advertisement While getting the pallet to your house or apartment may be tricky, the whole thing's incredibly simple to put together once you've got your supplies. After sealing off one side of the pallet with the landscape fabric, you fill the inside with soil, and plant your garden. Just place the finished pallet-garden in a spot where it'll get good light, and enjoy some fresh air!Hit the link below to see more detailed instructions. Photo by Fern Richardson.

Today marks the release of the latest edition of the beyond-insanely popular Madden NFL game. Madden NFL '12.
A couple interesting new wrinkles to the game according to Wikipedia:
- To support awareness for concussions, players who suffer a concussion during gameplay will no longer be allowed to return to the game.
- Quarterbacks have distinct throwing motions, making them look much more like their real-life counterparts.
For Madden devotees, today is the day you call in sick to work, plunk down $60 for the game, and barricade yourself in your mancave for many many hours.
Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis is on the cover this year and, as per tradition, will probably blow out his knee in week three.
And it's Madden Day

My 3 year old come home with band aids on his stomach. When I finaly convinced him to let me take them off he had two big red whelps under the band aids. When I asked him what happened he said "Ms. ** did it. She just did like this... as he motioned" When I asked him why and what happened he said that he was being bad. It looks as if maybe she grabbed him by the waist and dug her thumb nails into his stomach and drug them. There are two raised red marks on the sides of his stomach and they are swollen up about 1/2 in long. I was not notified and was not given a report. I am going to the director about it tomorrow. But.... What would you do? What would you say???
Okay, first I want to thank every one for their advice. Sorry I couldn't update sooner. Yesterday I went and spoke with the director. I told her my concerns and showed her the pictures and made sure she knew I was concerned and upset. Well turns out she was the one who put the band aids on him.... because the teacher told her that the red areas were ringworm. I told her she needed to go look at them again. They are on the same spot on both sides of his stomach, that would be highly unlikely. I then repeated the part about what my son had told me and his story behind it (how and why). Anyhow, I had her call and make a formal report. I was told I had to go see a doctor and have ring worm ruled out... We went to one of those little clinics and when I explained they turned me away and told me I would have to go to the ER. They do not and will not see suspected abuse cases. He did however, say that the red spots look like pinch marks because of the size and the broken capillaries. The ER doctor confirmed saying they are abrasions NOT ring worm. (They look NOTHING like a ring worm) .
Today DHS came and saw my son. I have yet to hear from them as it is Friday, I am hoping to hear something on Monday.
Take pictures. Anything that lasts, and is noticeable enough for an adult to put a bandage on, should have been the FIRST thing they told you about at pick up. My daycare tells me if they think there might be a bruise later, or if there is any mark that lasts more than a few minutes I have to sign an incident report. Take the pictures, have a sit down with teacher and director. I would not consider this acceptable at all. I could see an accident, but there should still have been documentation, incident report, and you signing off on it before you went home. The lack of communication would be more concerning to me than the marks.

SUMMIT, NJ - The Summit Board of Education has approved the transfer of Felix Gil, current Principal of the Primary Centers, to Principal of Franklin Elementary School. Gil will take over for Dr. Sheila Cole upon her retirement, beginning October 1. Cole has served as Principal of Franklin Elementary School since 1999.

Does anyone know if the VTM-4 fluid has a date of expiration?
In other words can I store it for a year or so? I just bought 3 gallons of the Honda VTM-4 cuz it was cheap so if it not advisable to store it for a long time then I can sell the other 2... Cheers! |
I am not sure if this has been asked before so here goes!
VTM-4 Differential Fluid, When shoud it be changed? Ans: When Service Code appears on MM ie B16. where 6 is the code for VTM-4. How can it be changed? (for average DIY person) Ans: It is VERY easy if only you have the strength to loosen the two drain and fill plugs. Make sure you buy the crush washers, 18mm and 20mm. Get the pump at Autozone for $4 it works very well. (there is a writeup for the entire procedure so read it for tips) Is there a dip-stick to check the level? Ans: No dip stick, just the Maintenance Minder to tell you when. Do we have to use HONDA OEM fluid or can we use any other brand? Ans: As many have already said use only HONDA oil I know very expensive but look for it elsewhere as I did and found it at $10 each. |

Samuel Edward Krune Mqhayi
Samuel Edward Krune Mqhayi (S. E. K. Mqhayi, 1 December 1875–29 July 1945) was a Xhosa poet and historian.
Mqhayi was born in the Cape Province, South Africa to a Christian family. At the Lovedale institution he was trained as a teacher. In addition to teaching and helping to edit journals in the Xhosa language, he was appointed to the Xhosa Bible Revision Board in 1905. Later he would help to standardize Xhosa grammar and writing, and then become a full-time author.[1]
Between 1896 and 1944 he was a journalist and wrote for Xhosa newspapers. In 1907 he wrote what is considered by some to be the first novel in the Xhosa language, U-Samson, which is now lost. In 1914 he published Ityala lamawele ('The Lawsuit of the Twins') an influential Xhosa novel and an early defence of customary law and Xhosa tradition.[2] He is best known and most celebrated today for his authorship of much of the poem, "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika," which was to form part of a free South Africa's national anthem. His autobiography is titled, UMghayi waseNtab'ozuko (Mghayi of Mount Glory).[3] In 1929 he wrote Utopia, UDon Jadu. He was the recipient of the May Ester Bedford Prize for Bantu literature in 1935.[4]
A youthful Nelson Mandela, who esteemed him "a poet laureate of the African people,"[5] saw Mqhayi at least twice in the flesh, and once, to his infinite pleasure, heard him recite.

All salmon farmers want for Christmas is...streamlined regulations
BC's salmon farmers have a New Year's wish … accelerated regulatory streamlining as they enter year two under federal jurisdiction.
BC Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA) Executive Director Mary Ellen Walling says delays in the review of license amendments has created challenges for BC companies.
"The single-year fishing licenses granted now create uncertainty for the businesses," she added. "I hope to see more streamlining of the regulatory process in 2012."
In February 2009, the BC Supreme Court ruled that aquaculture should be under federal regulatory control rather than the previous provincially-led regulatory program. Following an extension in early 2010, the official transfer date was Dec. 18, 2010.
While the regulated requirements for BC's salmon farms stayed the same in many areas as they were under provincial control, there were alterations that needed to be worked through such as changes in staff contacts, reporting procedures and inspection processes.
"The transition last year was a big one. It required a lot of work from many people," Walling says. "We look forward to seeing these regulations settle more into place as we continue to move forward."
One of the biggest changes from a public perspective has been has been quarterly reporting of information about egg imports, sea lice, marine mammal interactions, incidental catch and escapes. Walling says BCSFA feels this additional reporting is a good step, though it has been challenging to put in context since the industry is the only BC food production sector providing this level of data publicly.
"Salmon farmers are always looking for ways to improve our business. That means making sure our operations are sustainable but also enabling our businesses to continue to be successful," Walling says. "We hope to continue working with DFO to find clear paths that ensure all parties' expectations are met."

Subscribe To Connect with Your City Food
GothamBox is a subscription based food service with a difference! While you may come across stores and catering services offering you organic foods or restriction menus, location based cuisine is a novelty indeed. The company specializes in sending a city or region specific ingredients to people living elsewhere. This has proved to be a wonderful opportunity for people who move from their home town but miss the familiar food in alien surroundings.
The entire idea was hit upon when Jonathan Chim, the co-founder of GothamBox received a parcel of food from his mother when he could not continue living at home. The venture succeeded with many homesick people willing to subscribe for it along with people who were keen to enjoy exotic locally grown foods that they have not tasted yet .
GothamBox has now teamed up with various small brands across New York and San Francisco and can provide you with coffee brands, fruits, biscuits and every other delicacy in between.
What's more, the company donates a meal to hunger relief charities for every subscription it manages to get. So, here's your chance to taste home food and feed the hungry all at one go.

Canada pulls lab team working on Ebola from Sierra Leone
(REUTERS handout)
More Coverage

FREETOWN/KINSHASA – Three Canadians working as part of a laboratory team in Sierra Leone have been pulled from the country over Ebola concerns.
Public Health Agency of Canada spokesman Sean Upton said late on Tuesday the three-person mobile laboratory team was recalled because three people in their hotel complex were diagnosed with Ebola, although Upton said none of the Canadians had direct contact with any of the sick people and were not showing any symptoms of Ebola.
In a statement, the PHAC said the three Canadians will remain in voluntary isolation and will be monitored closely on their journey home.
"The Ebola virus does not spread easily. An individual who is not displaying symptoms is not contagious. The risk to Canadians remains very low," the statement said.
The PHAC said it plans to send another team to Sierra Leone "once appropriate steps have been taken to ensure a safe living environment."
The news came the same day the World Health Organization (WHO) said it had shut a laboratory in Sierra Leone after a health worker there was infected with Ebola, a move that may hamper efforts to boost the global response to the worst-ever outbreak of the disease.
At least 1,427 people have died and 2,615 have been infected since the disease was detected deep in the forests of southeastern Guinea in March.
The WHO has deployed nearly 400 of its own staff and partner organisations to fight the epidemic of the highly contagious hemorrhagic fever, which has struck Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Nigeria. A separate outbreak was confirmed in Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday.
Nigeria's health minister said on Tuesday his country had "thus far contained" the Ebola outbreak.
One of the deadliest diseases known to man, Ebola is transmitted by contact with body fluids. The current outbreak has killed at least 120 healthcare workers.
The WHO said it had withdrawn staff from the laboratory testing for Ebola at Kailahun - one of only two in Sierra Leone - after a Senegalese epidemiologist was infected with Ebola.
"It's a temporary measure to take care of the welfare of our remaining workers," WHO spokeswoman Christy Feig said, without specifying how long the measure would last.
"After our assessment, they will return."
Feig said she could not assess what impact the withdrawal of WHO staff would have on the fight against Ebola in the Kailahun, the area hardest hit by the disease. The WHO said in a later statement that staff would return after an investigation was completed, adding that testing would continue in the meantime at the Kenema laboratory.
The Senegalese medic - the first worker deployed by WHO to be infected - will be evacuated from Sierra Leone in the coming days, Feig said. He is currently being treated at a government hospital in the eastern town of Kenema.
With its resources stretched by the West African outbreak, medical charity Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said on Tuesday it could provide only limited help to tackle Congo's outbreak.
A report from the U.N. mission in Congo on Tuesday said 13 people there had died from Ebola, including five health workers.
Congo said on Sunday it would quarantine the area around the town of Djera, in the isolated northwestern jungle province of Equateur, where a high number of suspected cases has been reported. It is Congo's seventh outbreak since Ebola was discovered in 1976 in Equateur, near the Ebola river.
Congo's Health Minister Felix Kabange Numbi said on Sunday the outbreak in Equateur was a different strain of the virus from the deadly Zaire version in West Africa, although further tests are planned in a German laboratory.
"Usually, we would be able to mobilise specialist hemorrhagic fever teams, but we are currently responding to a massive epidemic in West Africa," said Jeroen Beijnberger, MSF medical coordinator in Congo. "This is limiting our capacity to respond to the epidemic in Equateur Province."
However, the charity said it would send doctors, nurses and logistics experts to the region and would work with the government to open an Ebola case management centre in Lokolia.
Louise Roland-Gosselin, deputy head of mission for MSF in Congo, said Congolese Ebola experts working in West Africa should return to their own country to assist with the outbreak there. "MSF can't do it alone," she said.
The WHO plans to send protective equipment for medical staff in Equateur.
A 65-year-old woman with Ebola-like symptoms died in Equateur's capital Mbandaka, health workers said on Tuesday, raising concerns of a possible spread to an urban centre.
Health Minister Kabange Numbi confirmed the death but said the cause was not yet known.
Up to 90 percent of Ebola victims die, although the fatality rate in the current outbreak is lower at close to 60 percent.
The only treatments are extremely rare, experimental and have so far had mixed results. Of the six health workers known to have been treated with unlicensed drug ZMapp, two have died.
Still, the first Briton to have contracted the deadly Ebola virus while working in West Africa has decided to take the drug, the London hospital where he is being treated said, adding that the volunteer nurse was "in good spirits".
Sierra Leone and Liberia - struggling to recover from a decade of civil war in the 1990s - have seen their healthcare systems overwhelmed by Ebola, the first outbreak in West Africa.
In Liberia, the country that has reported the most Ebola deaths, the health ministry has reported more than 200 new suspected, probable and confirmed cases in a three-day period. Most of them occurred in the seaside capital Monrovia, where two neighbourhoods are under army-backed quarantine.
Some Liberian officials have been fleeing the country or not turning up at work for fear of contracting the virus, prompting President Ellen Johnson on Tuesday to issue orders threatening those of ministerial rank with dismissal.
More junior civil servants would have their salaries suspended, a presidency official told Reuters. It was not clear how many officials would be affected by the presidential order.
Liberia said a ban on travel to the region imposed by neighbouring countries was complicating the fight against Ebola and leading to shortages of basic goods. British Airways said on Tuesday it planned to extend a suspension of flights to Sierra Leone and Liberia until Dec. 31 because of Ebola.
"Isolating Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea is not in any way contributing to the fight against this disease," Information Minister Lewis Brown said. "How do we get in the kinds of supplies that we need? How do we get experts to come to our country? Is that African solidarity?"

Like many of Spike Lee's movies, Summer of Sam is a collage of characters, storylines, music, and styles. In this case, the collage encompasses the New York summer of 1977, which saw the financially struggling city suffer the strains of record heat, capped by a 24-hour blackout that led to looting and riots in several poor neighborhoods. Even more unsettling that summer was the serial killer, dubbed "Son of Sam," who was preying mostly on women in an Italian-American section of the Bronx. ...

Bieber is crowd's MVP of Celebrity All-Star Game
Justin Bieber was named MVP of the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game despite failing to lead his team to victory Friday. His eight points, two rebounds and four assists didn't make him the star, either.
If stat lines were the measuring stick in the voting, then ex-Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen would have won the award. But that's what happens when the crowd votes for the MVP.
Pippen scored more points (17) and led the Eastern Conference Celebrity All-Stars to a 54-49 victory, but it was the teen pop singer who won the crowd's heart loing ago with his singing skills, not basketball skills. And he did all that without messing up his famous hairdo.
Bieber played alongside such stars as former Lakers forward Rick Fox, Rob Kardashian, Romeo, A.C. Green and Jalen Rose on the Western All-Stars. They coached by Magic Johnson.
Coach Bill Walton's Eastern team featured Chris Mullin, Nick Cannon, Mitch Richmond, rapper Common and Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Pippen.
Lakers forward Lamar Odom and his wife, Khloe Kardashian, sat courtside to watch Khloe's brother, Rob, compete. Odom said his brother-in-law "did OK" and "didn't embarass the family."

Last week I introduced you to Danielle. This is a good friend of mine who recently got married and due to some changes in their financial situation and jobs her and her husband are now trying to make ends meet. There were a few questions regarding last week's video that I wanted to address quickly.
- $60 – $90 Month Grocery Budget – I know this was a shocker to all of you! And in all honesty I'm not sure if that's realistic or not. But what I can say is that I didn't ask Danielle what she spent before the camera was rolling so I didn't have any idea what she would say ;) (I wanted to keep this real for you guys) And keep in mind this is her "Budget" or was her Budget not what they were actually spending. In all reality after talking to Danielle More (In future videos) we learn that she has actually been pulling a lot of money out of savings!!!! That's one of our main goals to get them living within their means. Income=Expenses at a minimum. Then we'll move on to saving. So while I know that was shocking to hear, please keep in mind they were spending more than what they had budgeted which is why they are working so hard now to 1) Use coupons and shop sales and 2) Get their Income up so that they can have a more realistic budget.
- This is a Process – Nothing happens overnight. I think people often give up on trying to use coupons and save money when they go to the store and realize they only saved $10-$20…. Creating a Stockpile, Sticking to a Menu Plan are all pieces of the puzzle. One of the reasons I wanted to bring you along on this journey is so that you can help us out ;) And so you can see that it's more about a lifestyle and mentality shift. It's also a process, something that takes time and it is a gradual reduction in the grocery bill and household bill that allows us to meet other financial goals (And stop pulling all that money out of savings).
- We Don't Know the Outcome – I would love to say that I know how this is going to turn out, but I don't. I'm just letting you in on some of our conversations so that you can see what I would do if I were showing up on your doorstep to help you. Some of today's video is just me understanding a little more about what Danielle uses and buys, It's not so much about what we will actually end up with when we get to the store…. This is still evolving and growing and as Danielle's income and budget change then so will what we can fit into our budget, etc.
- More than a Budget– There are lots of things that contribute to financial success. Couponing is a means to an end. Danielle and her husband are also attending the Financial Peace University Class this fall. This is helping them make sure they have their priorities in line. They are working to reduce debt, build an emergency fund, create a zero balance budget and increase their income all while learning the couponing and savings process. It's the big picture of all of this combined that will get us to our goals in the end. Saving and reducing our grocery and household budgets is just one price of the puzzle.
Now Moving on to this weeks Video! This week I'm going over what I call a Stockpile Plan with Danielle. This is just me creating a list of items they buy on a weekly basis You can download & Create your own Stockpile Plan Here. Here's how to use the plan:
Just Print off the Stockpile Plan
Make a list of the Most Frequent Items you Buy in each Category. It doesn't reduce our budget to buy lots and lots of items we don't really use, in fact we can waste money on buying items we won't really use and we will end up with less money in our budget for the things we need. So think of this as a priority list. Finding The items you buy MOST often on sale and with coupons will save you the MOST money, and that's the goal!
Start Watching for Sales & Coupons. I know people are always wondering which coupons they should print. Well use this as a guide. If you find a coupon for an item on your list, get that printer going ;) Or pull out your scissors and clip that coupon. Again this list is just a guideline, but hopefully it will help keep you from getting overwhelmed and thinking you need to clip every coupon or waste money printing coupons for things you won't really use.
Buy When an Item is On Sale &/Or You have a great Coupon. It's all about timing and I try to always list the TOP deals at each store. You want to create your shopping lists around whats On Sale and a great deal. Buy multiples of items to get you through to the next sale.
- Stockpile Food Items for 8 Weeks
- Stockpile Health & Beauty or Household Items for 3-6 Months
I really don't think you have to have to have a ton of everything stuffed in your closets. In fact I know most of us (me included) don't have room for 50 boxes of cereal. So the goal is not to clear the shelves but to buy what your family will use in that time frame. That will get us to the next sale and get that item off our weekly shopping lists for a few weeks so that we can free up room in our budget to buy the other items we need.
Once again I want to stress that this is a Plan… This is not a shopping list :) We're not running to the store to buy 8 of each item on our list, we're buying as we find them on sale or as we need them. This is just our way of staying organized and not buying things we won't use.
Suggestions of Items to Add to Your List – Here's a few suggestions of items that are on my Stockpile List and my Rock Bottom Buy Price. Remember I Stock Up at this price or Less.

:: Basic Household Items – These sometimes need to be broken out by the unit. For example Paper Towels I purchase based on a "Regular Roll Price" So normally a package will say = 18 Rolls or something and I base it on the "Regular Roll Ct." same thing with Toilet Paper.

- Paper Towels ($0.33 or less per regular roll)

- Clorox or Lysol Wipes ($1.50 per tub)
- Paper Plates ($1 per package) note: I don't use much paper we use mostly real dishes but I will buy these for when we have company or parties and I don't want to do dishes ;)
- Dryer Sheets ($1 for 40 ct.)
- Stain Remover ($1 or less)
- Straws ($75 ct. for $1.50) – Add this to my list of things i never find on sale, but I just LOVE straws :) So I buy them anyway, good thing they aren't expensive.
:: Personal Care Items– Honestly I don't pay for much like this now. I typically get most of these items on sale at Walgreens. But I'll list a price I would pay if I couldn't get it for Free :)
- Body Wash ($1 each)
- Toothpaste ($1 each) – but you can almost always get this free!
- Toothbrushes ($1 each) – but you can almost always get this free!
- Deodorant ($0.50 each) – but you can almost always get this free!

So I know that was a long post and a long video, but hopefully it has you thinking about which items you need to stockpile.
Here's your homework for the week: Print off this form and create your Stockpile List, Then start watching for sales and filling in the prices :) This is going to help you get a good idea of when you need to buy an item.

what is the diff btw fifa 06 vs fifa 06 world cup? which is better? and whats the diff? thanks.
Fifa WC 2006 is only focused in the world cup and its qualification, it has every world cup stadium and some international ones, almost every national team with the new official kits, qualified or not, so you can play from the start of the qualification round to the final game.
Fifa 06, in the other hand, have less national teams, but includes a lot of national leagues; teams from the Premier League, Calccio Italiano, LFP (spain), Bundesliga (germany), MLS, and even the mexican and brazilian leagues. Here you can find stadiums from all over the world.
About the gameplay, WC is more simulation like, is harder to score, that means closer results and much more exciting games. In fifa 06 you quickly get bored because there are some ways that you almost never will miss a goal.
In graphics, both games are really good, but again WC is better, but not for too much, they improved the light effects.
If you are choosing between both games, I recomend you buy WC, it's really exciting, and THIS ONE feels like real soccer, I love this game.
i bought WC before i saw this post but so far its pretty good. I dont like af ew thing such as the free kick/corner kicks b/c before u could put spin on the ball and curve it due to it being an arrow now its like nothing and i dont like the graphics as much as far as details. You can't tell if you scored a goal or not unless its the replay/celebration cuz u dont see the ball go in. Btw, what do u do to kick a from pretty good distance? If I kick it at full strenght it obvoulys flies away but if i do it at a med. strenght i always (3 times) hit the Top post or goes into the goalies chest. I want to kick it full strenght but keep th eball low so it wont sail away. You got ne tips?Originally Posted by JuanchoColombia
I bought Fifa 06 a week and a bit ago and am absolutely hooked. The dynasty/career mode is absolutely awesome and WC doesn't have that. The benefit I saw in buying FIfa 06 opposed to WC was that you can play international games in Fifa 06 anyway. I created a tournament called World Cup and although it's not 100% accurate, it's a 32 intnl teamed, 4 pools + knockout set-up just like the World Cup itself.
I also figured that WC will drop in price after the world cup, and when Fifa 07 comes out, so I'll buy WC 2006 then.
Question about WC: Can you choose your international squads? In Fifa 06, you can choose your international squads from any players that are from the given countries which I think is an awesome addition.
Is it 3am yet?
i just played "PLAY" mode vs my friend for about 3-4 games. Ima give it some time today to figure it out and i will let u konw
I know what you're talking about,it's really cool. In WC you can choose your squad, but it's not like that: at the start of the world cup, after you choose your team, you select "use default squads" or "choose squads", if you select choose squads you open a list of about 40 players and you select the 22 players that go to the cup.Originally Posted by HysterikiLL
I thought it was like that. I didn't think they'd have all players loaded into WC and that's something pretty cool for Fifa. I'll still buy WC when it comes on sale though.Originally Posted by JuanchoColombia
Kinda sucks Fifa misses some international teams such as Netherlands, Japan..

Lovely little boozer. Best thing: massive beer garden. And I don't mean a walled-in courtyard or a few picnic tables butted up against a clogged road, like most of the 'beer gardens' in London, I mean a proper beer garden with grass and picnic tables and space between them. In fact, the pub is basically next to a (small) park, and you can drink in it.
Food is pretty average (or it would have got a fourth star). They invented the crouton hat (I won't spoil it for you) but everything else is a little institutional – a feeling added to by the fact it's brought out by a sergeant-type who barks your name, and if you don't answer straight away bellows it again like you've got five seconds to get it down you or you and your friends are damn well doing the assault course in full kit.
Still, a real hidden gem: cosy inside, spacious outside. Like I said, lovely.

How was your experience?
I had a great time at the event because all the speakers were interesting as if to be circling the subject of Broadway from varied and intelligent points of view. It was about ideas worth spreading for a future Broadway. I came away from the experience energized with new ideas sparked by new information. It was what I would expect from a TED event. Thanks, JF

Team Of The Week - Round 16
1 - Lachlan Coote (Penrith) - An unbelievable debut from yet another member of the Toyota Cup. Ran further than Forrest Gump! He made more hit-ups than any other player in both sides in the drawn match between Penrith and Brisbane.
2 - Taniela Tuiaki (Wests Tigers) - The man mountain has finally started to open up, much to the dismay of opposing teams. 2 Line breaks and 3 tries are a good sign that Tuiaki is starting to get back to the form he had last season.
3 - Reece Robinson (Brisbane) - Really stood up in attack when the Bronco

So the Detroit Free Press (and local TV station, WDIV) polled 800 Michigan residents about what kind of cars they own. The results were that 45 percent own GM products, 39 percent own a Ford, 22 percent own something from Chrysler, and 15 percent own a foreign car. Yeah, that's 111 121 percent. Here's the explanation behind the fuzzy math — the poll didn't account for multiple cars in the same household. So it actually tells us almost nothing while falsely suggesting some kind of domestic market dominance. Of course, they could have done something like tally up the percentages of vehicle registrations, but that would almost be too easy.
