The functionality of the T60 transmitters is as varied and versatile as are the needs of our customers. The latest model, T8, only measures 2.0 x 3.2 x 0.7 in. For your safety, we have added an on/off switch. If your application doesn´t need it, it can be disabled. All settings that were earlier made on a switch inside of the transmitter, can now be easily done in a user-friendly PC program.

This works together with the Tiger system, and both the weight amplifier and the receiver can be adapted to your weight system. The system's receiver can receive up to 16 readings; each reading can indicate overload or too little load and activate the safety feature. Even the electrical weight sensors show your cargo load, either in a dynamometer or in a portable display. The mechanical overload safety function indicates when the cargo load is over the maximum level or the maximum you are authorised to lift. Both the electrical weight sensors and the mechanical overload safety function work with T70 Jaguar, 860-Lion and the Tiger system.

Mar.14 (GMM) Renault is hoping to chase the heels of the pacesetting Red Bull and Ferrari teams with its own 2011 car.
Boss Eric Boullier told Spain's El Pais newspaper that the Enstone based designers "made a commitment to innovation" when devising the R31 car.
Indeed, observers and rivals have lauded the car's innovative front exhaust layout.
"We spent a lot of time thinking about it and discussing it, as it was a risk. But in the end we said 'Why not?'" revealed Frenchman Boullier.
Losing lead driver Robert Kubica to injury was a major blow to Renault's 2011 campaign, but Boullier said the team is hopeful of a very good season.
"It's too early to say if we can win races," he insisted. "It will be hard to be there with Red Bull and Ferrari. But they will be our main rivals.
"I very much respect Ross Brawn, Mercedes and McLaren and I know they have greater resources; if we can stay ahead of them it will be a great success for us," added Boullier.

It's funny. What's funny? Well, life's funny. The way life goes and all that. As you know, I'm a musician. I've been making music since I was twelve. I'm 29 now. I've always, more or less, hoped I could continue with music and maybe even live from it. And what do you know, since the beginning of this year I have been able to create a regular income by composing soundtracks for dance pieces and for video works, next to to doing occasional concerts…
It's fun. My job's fun. Even though I try not to see it too much as a job, I have to look at it that way sometimes. I attend rehearsals of dance companies, I discuss my music with the choreographer, I get to know the life in big theatres (with big organisation and big egoes)… I get artistically challenged because writing music for dance, video (or just projects in general) is different from 'just doing my thing'. Off course, I get to do my thing, but I have to respect the wishes of the choreographer as well, which is fine for me, by the way. I have to make sure that the dancers get into the music and respond to it in a way that suits them fine while performing… It's interesting.
It's cool. I go places because of these assignments I get. At this moment it's mainly Den Haag (NL) I have to go to. I'll put some pics of my trips later on.
Anyway, just wanted to share this. It doesn't always have to be heavy and philosophically questioning, right?
To be successful you must to be active to confident, be simple don't let self-jealousy overtake your headspace assignment expert be positive and take challenges. I don't believe you can be prosperous without being a good man.

1990 Ford Mustang Coupe LX 5.0 2dr Coupe
I've had my Mustang for a few years now. It's one of the most reliable vechiles I own. The performance is incredible. If you plan on getting a Mustang a 5.0 or a 4.6 or even the old 3.8 just plan on having money for a few things (tires and clutches.) I only put about 7,000 miles since I bought it and I'm due for a second set of rubbers and a new clutch.
My favorite features are no cup holders. Why do you need those in a muscle car that huals? the bucket seats are awesome as well
A better braking set up
1990 Ford Mustang Coupe LX 2dr Coupe
My car is a dark green, 1990 Mustang
5.0 LX. The engine was built by Budd
Moore Racing, and it looks and sounds
very nice. About one month after I
bought my car, my transmission started
messing up. When the transmission went
bad, I had Greenville Transmission
Clinic in SC rebuild it. All in all,
it cost me $1,411.30. Now the AOD has
been rebuilt w/ a high-performance
rebuild kit, new torque converter. Now
I love driving my green coupe around
town barking gears (I have spun my
wheels when shifting around 40 mph).
HP: 300+ (not had it dynotested yet)
Mileage: under 70k
Weight: around 2800k I think
Horsepower, sound, traction, fun
Wider wheels/tires
I bought my mustang with over 100,000
miles on it, and it has been a great
car. When something does break, it is
easy to work on and parts are easy to
find. When looking for a Mustang to
buy, go with the 5 speed, 5.0 litre
coupe. The automatic has problems, as
does the convertible's top.
5.0, 5 speed, ease of finding parts,
the aftermarket parts that are available
interior design
I had a nice 5.0 Mustang... except the
automatic transmission failed at 50,000
miles. Dealership told me it was out of
warranty, so I was out of luck.
$1500.00 later, I had a rebuilt
transmission. Except for that and a
problem with stalling (TFI ignition
module) and problems with the fuel pump
kicking out (impact switch in trunk)
and problems with leaking headlight
housings (common for Ford products) and
a few other problems, the car was great
to drive.
Power and looks.
Large turning circle due to oversized
wheels/tires. Poor reliability and
Excellent vehicle. Very fun to drive. Well built, pretty fast.
225 horsepower 5.0L V8!

Lifestyle and Attitude Changes Will Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals
Misconceptions of Weight Loss and DietingAll our lives we are told that being fat is unhealthy. There is no arguing that. At the same time we are taught to believe that losing weight is a chore, a task, something that can only be done by hard work and perseverance. We are conditioned to think there is no solution to losing weight, that it will always be a battle that you can never win. Regardless, there are hundreds of diet and weight loss plans out there.
It's no wonder most of us trying to lose weight are doomed to fail. That is unless you change your attitude about weight loss, and "unlearn" all the preconceptions that society forces on us.
The way to combat this and succeed in losing weight is forget everyone telling you about weight loss. Sure, genetics play a part in your predisposition to weight gain but it is sadly overstated.
Change Your Attitude About Weight LossChanging your mental attitude about weight loss can make a world of difference in your battle with the bulge. Here are some tips on changing your attitude about weight loss:
Forgive YourselfDon't feel sorry for yourself and don't think of yourself as a failure. Every single individual who is successful, regardless of the objective, have failed.
Learn From Your Weight Loss FailuresHey learn from your failures. Find out why you failed and make a plan to avoid falling into that same pitfall again. Failure can be positive if you are objective and heed the truth.
Positive Thinking WorksI actually have a note taped to my computer, my mirror in the bathroom and even on the dashboard of my car with a phrase that says "Think Positive and Never Give Up". Each time I see the note I repeat the phrase. This routine certainly has changed my attitude and now I look at it as a challenge that I can overcome.
VisualizationVisualization is a powerful tool for success. In fact, I teach visualization techniques to the kids on my youth baseball team. Seeing things in your mind's "eye" is the first step to actually doing it. Visualize yourself the way you want to look!
Conclusion With a change of attitude and adopting a new lifestyle are the keys to achieving your weight loss goals.

Mark is the director of the Longview School in upstate New York.
Grading and evaluation is a hot topic in education. There are many theories about what approach is best, but in order to be able to evaluate the theories themselves, it is essential to begin by taking a step back to consider how the goals of evaluation intersect with the goals of education.
The Goals of Education
The goals of education are not the same at all levels and in all contexts. Let's begin by examining vocational education. Consider a class in operating heavy machinery. What is the goal of the class? Graduates need to know how to operate heavy machines effectively and safely. In this context, the knowledge and skills are paramount: if they have been obtained, then the student has been successful in the class and s/he should receive the highest evaluation.
Consider college classes as in math, the sciences, English literature, psychology, etc. Here again, it seems to be a reasonable expectation that grades reflect knowledge of some material and/or acquisition of a particular skill set.
This brings us to K-12 public education. There are some significant differences between this and vocational training or college education. All students are expected to complete Kindergarten through 12th grade. (1) Admission is qualified for simply by reaching a certain age, rather than by having to meet ability-based acceptance requirements. As a result, the range of knowledge and abilities in any public school class is extensive, so much so that there is no possibility that everyone who leaves high school will have the same skills or knowledge. Let me say this again: it is impossible for high school students to graduate with the same skills and knowledge.
Let me provide a specific example: I recently participated in a Committee on Special Education Meeting in which a well-meaning director of special education looked me in the eye and told me that under his care, if one of my students returned to the public schools, he would be able to pass the New York State Regents exams, though it might take a few extra years for him to do so. Bracketing whether spending a few extra years in high school is worthwhile, the statement is simply a reflection of wishful thinking. This tenth-grade student, even with regular instruction using a multisensory approach, continues to add on his fingers, to multiply with repeated addition and to reduce fractions unreliably. It is not my expectations which limit this student, it is his ability. If he were to focus on schoolwork for ten hours a day from now until the age of twenty, the level he would achieve in math would still be below the level a significant number of students have already reached upon entry into high school.
The challenge of individual differences in students is equally problematic to a class as to a few specific students. Imagine a math class with 23 students. (2) Will all 23 students complete the class with the same math knowledge and skills? Of course not. Students do not start the class with equal knowledge and skills. As a result, they will not leave the class with the same. This is not a failing of the class or of the teaching. This is simply a basic reality of human development: because of differences in the students, some students will know more than others.
Our public school special education departments and state departments of education can pretend that this is not true, but under their current assumptions, there are only two choices for high school graduation requirements:
1. The bar can be set low enough so that even weak students, through study and hard work, can eventually meet the requirements for graduation. In this case, some of the brighter students would already have the required knowledge and skills upon entry into ninth grade.
2. The bar can be set high enough so that the work would be challenging even for brighter students. This would necessarily result in a significant percentage of students, the weaker students, being condemned to becoming dropouts.
The current trend, both in my home state of New York and in national education policy, is movement towards choice two. High-stakes testing is on the rise with seemingly a new test added or an old test made more difficult every year. In New York, there are no longer local diplomas for students who cannot meet the rigorous state requirements but who have worked diligently and passed all their classes in their four or more years of high school. If a student cannot pass the Regents tests, then s/he is considered unworthy, and must either stay in high school for as many years as it takes to pass the tests or drop out.
Fortunately, there is a third possibility, but to be able to consider it fairly, we must reassess the goals of K-12 education. There is more to success than knowledge acquisition and skill attainment. For students in this age range, self-development and the acquisition of life skills are at least as important as attaining academic knowledge. Therefore, a complete K-12 education would support each child in developing:
- responsibility
- good decision making
- the ability to apply her/himself to challenging tasks (perseverance)
- the ability to work effectively with others (cooperation)
- the ability to work on one's own (independence)
- a strong sense of self
- a positive self-image
An effective K-12 learning environment teaches academic material while at the same time supporting personal development.
Teaching Academic Material
The acceptance of individual differences in the abilities and knowledge of students as unavoidable has led to the creation of flexible teaching methods. A primary example of this is the development of differentiated instruction. Educators use this approach to teach students with a wide range of abilities in a way that challenges each and every student. Although this approach technically goes back to 1953, (3) good teachers have utilized their own versions for centuries. Differentiating instruction results in classrooms in which all students learn more and learn at their levels.
According to Rebecca Alber, consulting online editor for Edutopia, differentiated instruction is based upon the idea that
Equal education is not all students getting the same, but all students getting what they need. Approaching all learners the same academically doesn't work. We have to start where each child is in his learning process in order to authentically meet his academic needs and help him grow. (4)
There many excellent books and programs detailing differentiated instruction techniques. Suffice it to say, this writer believes that any teacher not using these on a daily basis is not a true educator.
Supporting Personal Development
Teaching personal development is particularly difficult for us educators because we are never trained in this directly. Sure, university education classes cover classroom management, and there are usually the required courses in special education and psychology which focus more on non-academic student needs, but we have no curriculum or learning standards for teaching responsibility or decision making. We often relegate this topic to health classes but personal development cannot be a subject covered only in a half-credit course in which we lump together diverse topics such as drugs, alcohol, depression, suicide, sex education, etc.
I believe the reason we require four credits in English and none in personal development is that we have not yet figured out how to teach this subject, much less assess it. Indeed, creating a curriculum for a course in personal development is challenging. We could create a syllabus for a course covering a range of personal development topics, but is a course really what is best suited to the subject matter?
Students learn more through living than listening.
- It is only through being responsible that students learn responsibility.
- It is only through making decisions, good and bad, that students learn good decision making.
- It is only through working hard that students learn that hard work gets good results.
- It is only through working in groups that students learn to work well with others.
- It is only through participating in an environment that creates the possibility for success that students develop positive self-images.
In accordance with this, a school could be the type of institution whose structures support students in learning personal development. Each and every aspect of the school, from making and enforcing the rules, to choosing the food to sell in the cafeteria, to creating a school budget could involve the students.
Much has been written about schools which share power and responsibility with the students. Although most public school administrators imagine overwhelming barriers to implementing this in their schools, there are some creative programs out there. These are outside the scope of this article. Here, the intention is to focus on the goals of education as they intersect with the goals of evaluation.
It is this last item on the list, development of a positive self-image, which is both crucial and directly tied to the issue of evaluation, and which leads to the third possibility for evaluation and graduation requirements.
Differentiated Assessment
I have argued that an effective K-12 learning environment teaches academic material while at the same time supporting personal development. It should be clear that in so doing, differentiated instruction techniques must be utilized in order to educate each and every student in multi-level classes. The problem is that differentiated instruction only goes halfway. Assessment should be a reflection of instruction. When we differentiate instruction without differentiating assessment, we send mixed messages: we allow students to achieve success during class, but then to fail when it comes to assessment.
For example, let's go back to our math class. With differentiated instruction, each student learns each topic at her/his level. Each student begins with a certain amount of knowledge and then learns more, moving towards mastery within the limits of time, ability and effort. Then, if everyone is given the same test on the material, those who knew more and have greater ability score higher, each and every time. What have we accomplished by testing in this way? This assessment method benefits neither the stronger nor weaker student. The stronger student will test well regardless of whether s/he has worked hard or learned a significant amount in the class. The weaker student will test lower than the stronger student no matter how hard s/he works in the class.
The effect this has on self-image is critical. A stronger student's positive self-image, whether deserved or not, is reinforced by testing each and every time. A weaker student's negative self-image is reinforced by testing each and every time. Who benefits? Neither student.
So, what is the alternative? Differentiated assessment.
With differentiated assessment, each student is evaluated based upon what s/he has learned in a class as compared to what s/he knew upon entry into the class. This should take into account the capacity each student has to learn and the effort with which each student applies her/himself.
Student should have different, personalized evaluation tools to determine whether they have learned what was taught to them. Imagine a class in which each student had her/his own customized test. In an ideal world of unlimited teacher time and small classes, this is feasible, but returning to our math class of 23 students, it is more challenging. A teacher can hardly create 23 unique tests.
There are a few ways to address this problem. A class of 23 students does not require 23 tests. More likely, by grouping the students by ability, 3-5 different tests would suffice, and some of the same questions might appear on all of the tests.
In addition, and much more importantly, in assessments on many topics, teachers can use open-ended questions, which each student can answer based upon her/his level. With these modifications, the test could be the same but the teacher would be able to grade in a differentiated fashion. If differentiated assessment were to be embraced by schools, publishers of textbooks would also be likely do so and in their textbooks could design multiple tests for each section so that teachers would easily be able to choose from these the test most suitable for each student.
The crucial point is that differentiated assessment changes what it is that grades reflect. Instead of providing information about how a student's knowledge and skills compare to other students in the class, grades reflect how much a student learned, how much growth they have demonstrated. Since education is about learning, having assessment reflect how much has been learned seems fitting.
This brings us to a possible third path for evaluation and graduation requirements. Set the bar neither too low nor too high. Don't set a bar at all. Every student should have her or his own bar set just high enough so that success will reflect significant learning from hard work. Every student who graduates under this system would deserve recognition for the work they have done and the amount they have learned. No one would have been bored along the way from work that was too easy nor would students have been set up for failure with impossible expectations.
Of course, this system would change the meaning of graduating from high school. Graduation would mean that a student is leaving high school knowing a significant amount more than when s/he entered as a freshman. To ascertain how much more was learned and how hard the student worked, one need simply refer to the student's Grade Point Average.
Many educators are probably jumping up and down yelling that this will result in the end of true education. How could I possibly propose a system which gives up objectivity? With differentiated assessment, a lower-level student could get A-grades for mastery of material a lazy, higher-level student had already mastered upon entry into the class. A smart kid could not meet her/his graduation requirements while a weaker student could graduate knowing less than the smart kid. The system has no objectivity. How is this fair?
Objectivity in Evaluation
First off, we should acknowledge that what we believe to be objective assessment often has more to do with how much a student has been able to retain for each test than what has been truly and indelibly learned. We don't have to look any further than the functional illiterates who have "graduated" from high school in our current system to convince ourselves of that. Or we could look at a less harsh example, and ask ourselves how much high school Spanish we can actually use as adults. Or even more probingly, we can ask why, if we truly learn what we're taught in high school, can't every high school teacher teach every high school subject? Didn't they ALL graduate high school, presumably at the top of their class? Maybe we don't objectively learn the things that we have earned our "objective" good grades on.
Second, we need to consider whether our assessment system should even be objective at all. Objectivity in evaluation is helpful for certain purposes and irrelevant for others. Currently, one of the primary uses for grades is the creation of data that can be reported on a transcript. A transcript is generally used by a higher educational institution in order to help with sorting. Colleges use high school transcripts (as private secondary schools use elementary and middle school transcripts) to help them decide which students to admit and which to reject. They hope a transcript provides an objective source of information from which to compare students from school to school, using information such as Grade Point Averages, course levels, etc.
In reality, even under the current system, colleges know there is little objectivity in grading, and they also realize that grades in one school are not necessarily able to be compared to grades in another school. As a result, colleges are hesitant to do any firm sorting based upon students' GPA's. This is the very reason why national standardized tests, both for general knowledge and skills (SAT I and ACT) and also for specific disciplines (SAT II) are usually required as part of the college admission process. Although I am not a proponent of over-reliance upon high-stakes testing, tests can be at least a part of a sorting process college admission offices could utilize. (5)
That being said, grades earned within a differentiated assessment system would provide information colleges would be able to use as part of their sorting process. The students with higher grades would be those who have shown the willingness to work hard as well as the ability to learn. I would argue that colleges will be better served by having this information than by knowing what knowledge students have presumably acquired prior to their enrollment in college.
Regardless of what information colleges would like to have in order to choose which students to admit, I believe it is not the responsibility of high schools to do sorting for colleges, especially as the attempt at objectivity utilizes an evaluation system which is not optimal for students' social, emotional and academic growth.
Another reason some people support objectivity in grading has to do with competition. Many people, especially Americans it seems, believe that a primary part of education is learning how to thrive in a competitive environment. They argue that the real world is competitive, and therefore responsible education prepares our youth by having them compete from an early age. Although competition is one aspect of the real world, it is neither prevalent nor primary. As a result, forcing our students to face competition in sports, in the arts, in classes, etc. unbalances them, creating the sort of people who expect and even impose competitive frameworks where one is neither required nor desirable.
Most workplaces are task-oriented: the goal is to complete tasks sometimes independently and other times in groups. Comprehensive completion of tasks is the measure of success. Sure, competition is an aspect of many work environments, and students should have some experience of competing, but our current system has blown this out of proportion with reality.
There is a place for competition in evaluation. Primarily, this is most appropriate in two ways:
- Competition against oneself, in which one demonstrates improvement over a period of study;
- Competition against the subject, in which one demonstrates acquisition of knowledge and skills competing against the challenging material or tasks (as opposed to other people in the class).
Class work can be primarily cooperative or at least mutually supportive. In our society, people have significant trouble getting along with each other. Part of the reason for this is that we view each other as competitors. Personally, I choose to relate to others as if we were working towards compatible goals. My goal is to:
- lead a happy life with positive relationships with friends, family and my spouse;
- to have enough professional success that I am proud of the results of my work;
- to earn sufficient money to meet my wants and needs; and
- to have some leisure time for entertainment and participating in sports.
There are times when I have found myself in competition with others—competing on a racquetball court, vying for a job or pursuing a potential love interest, but these times are infrequent compared to the times I find myself able to work cooperatively with others. Our competitive time in education should be brought back into balance with cooperative time.
Thus, it is my assertion that education will be improved when schools let go of the fantasy of achieving objectivity in evaluation, and instead trust teachers to focus evaluation on providing the most helpful feedback for those being evaluated.
Moving Beyond Grades
Too often evaluation is considered to be synonymous with grading. In my experience, grades are only one small piece of evaluation. We repeatedly receive feedback from the people around us. This can be as subtle as a person smiling at a comment we make or as overt as people arguing against a position we have taken. People are repeatedly telling us what they think; in other words, they are evaluating.
Teacher feedback is often constrained to number or letter grades. Some grading systems also allow for comments to be added, usually from a list of familiar lines such as "a pleasure to have in class" or "follows directions well." This attempt at personalization does little to explain to students how teachers perceive them and their work.
In our school, we use a grade plus comment system. Our comments are not chosen from a list. Instead, each one is composed by a teacher about a specific student. We train our teachers how to make these comments useful. It is essential that comments be completely personal. That is, a student should be able to recognize each comment as applying specifically to her/him, and conversely, is not broadly applying to other students in the class. While it is challenging for a teacher to write these, especially for larger classes, the information provided helps the student align self-perception with the perception of an evaluator.
This brings us to another heretofore unmentioned goal of evaluation: seeing oneself for how one is. How often have we met people who are incredibly talented, but who think of themselves as insufficient? How often have we met people who think of themselves as the best thing since sliced bread who have trouble slicing their own bread, metaphorically or otherwise? Too often we do not see ourselves as we really are. Being exposed to other people's evaluations helps us to create grounded self-images, but there is more to it. Only when we are in the habit of having to assess ourselves do we become proficient at so doing.
In my classes, I often combine self-evaluation with teacher evaluation. I write a form in which students are asked to describe how well they think they did in a range of areas and then to assign numeric values to this. At the end of the form, they are asked to use the information from their own assessment in order to give themselves overall grades.
This seems to work best when combined with short one-on-one consults in which teacher evaluation is compared to student evaluation in an atmosphere of open discussion. It is in this way that students' self-assessments come into alignment with the assessments of others and with what they have earned. It is a process that necessarily takes time to develop—at that start students may be all too eager to give themselves a 100, but given time, they learn to hone their self-observation skills and give more sincere grades.
I give schools a D for grading in the 21st century. Too often, we use grades in ways that do more harm than good. We evaluate without providing the information students need, and at a very young age, we set certain students up for success and just as many up for failure. Additionally, we inadvertently set things up so that the grade becomes the goal, rather than the learning. It is only when we question our fundamental assumptions about the nature of assessment and the goals of education, that we are able to create a system that makes assessment a supportive part of our students' education.
For decades our best teachers have been employing a wide range of differentiated instruction techniques to maximize the learning in their classrooms. Still, most of these very same teachers have continued to use the same old assessments. It is only when differentiated assessment is used hand-in-hand with differentiated instruction that we will be able to fully educate our students, both in academic knowledge and in life skills, and in so doing give each and every child the best possibility for success.

5. Although outside the scope of this article, I imagine a truly effective admission process would involve school specific testing with sections that were major specific, a rigorous interview process with both individual and group components, and maybe even some final sorting involving observation of work on a project during a full-day admission assessment.

Here we go with more tangled web weaving. Remember the debate where the moderator, Candy Crowley, came to the President's defense and assured us that the President had called the attack on the Benghazi Consulate "a terror attack" on September 12th, the day after the attack?
Remember how, when this was questioned at that time, the administration repeatedly pointed to the September 12th speech in the Rose Garden as referring to the attack as terrorism?
Remember how, on Sunday September 16th, UN Ambassador Susan Rice, appeared on 5 major networks and gave, let's call them misleading, statements on the Consulate attack that many questioned then and we now know were erroneous?
Fast forward to yesterday and President Obama, no longer a candidate, says this in his press conference:
"As I said before, she (speaking of Rice) made an appearance at the request of the White House in which she gave her best understanding of the intelligence that had been provided to her,"
Hmmm. Her "best understanding"… "provided to her".
So the White House timeline is:
September 12th……….It was a terror attack (per President Obama)
September 16th……….It was the video (per White House intelligence)
September multiple dates–It was the Video(per White House spokesman Jay Carney)
October 16th(Debate)…It was a terror attack (per President Obama)(per neutral moderator Crowley)
Yesterday……………"It was her best understanding of the intelligence"(per President Obama)
The ultimate decision approving Rice as the administration's spokesperson on that weekend following the attack had to be President Obama. After just calling the attack terror on September 12th he sent her out to articulate it was a spontaneous reaction to a video. Now that he is considering her for Secretary of State Obama said yesterday, in response to some Senators promising to oppose her appointment:
"If Sen. McCain and Sen. Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me,"
Could that be interpreted as "I made her lie, it's not her fault"? And will he bring a knife or a gun?
And all we have heard from the Obama administration is we won't discuss what happened at Benghazi until the investigation is completed. Really. I guess they didn't tell Susan Rice that either.

This is the year that has been declared the most of the important year in the history of our government and its constitution. This year we will be marking or celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the Freedom Charter, a document that was well crafted by men and women of this Country under very difficult times of Apartheid Colonialism. The Freedom Charter in its origin, it has made provision for certain elements that reflect the critical pledges made like, "the people shall govern''. This clause clearly shows how committed our government is to ensure effective public participation in all government program to create a platform for our people to have a say on a decision making processes in our government.
In terms of Section 34 of the Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000 (Act 32 of 2000) each municipality is required to review its Integrated Development Plan (IDP) annually to assess its performance against measurable targets and respond to the demands of the changing circumstances. This is usually done through an extensive or vigorous stakeholder consultation that includes our communities, businesses and other social partners. The IDP is our five year plan that is subjected for review annually to reflect our past achievement and challenges that might have impacted either both positively or negatively. In other words, the annual review is used as a tool to help realise the medium to long-term objectives of the Gamagara Municipal Council..

Few Americans wake up mornings contemplating the question of what makes a good work of art. But surprisingly enough, three belligerent public disputes have recently centered on this very question.
New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani made headlines last month when he vowed to withhold municipal funding if the Brooklyn Museum of Art went through with its controversial British art exhibition, "Sensation." The major object of contention: an image of the Virgin Mary, her breast rendered in elephant dung.
Then, a few weeks later, parents in South Carolina, Georgia, and Minnesota protested the presence in public school classrooms of J.K. Rowling's bestselling Harry Potter series, one mother claiming this fantasy literature carried "a serious tone of death, hate ... and ... evil."
Finally, there was the public uproar in Seattle over the heavily bosomed and pregnant "Picardo Venus," a community garden statue many find too suggestive.
In each case, those objecting to the disbursement of public funds for the display of art they find offensive insist they are not for censorship. They claim they merely want publicly funded and publicly presented artwork to reflect community standards of taste, decency, and respect for religious faith. All well and good; but who is to define those standards? Chris Ofili, painter of the "Sensation" exhibition's much maligned "Holy Virgin Mary," claims that Mr. Giuliani falsely assigned deprecatory motives to his work. He is not out to desecrate the image of the Virgin Mary, he says.
Rather, he's a Roman Catholic earnestly coming to terms with his faith, his African heritage, and a long Western tradition of representing the Madonna.
Similarly, J.K. Rowling might claim that the Harry Potter books also stand in a long "pre-apologetic" literary tradition: Yes, they deal with magic and witchcraft. Their tone is dark. But no less a devout Christian than C.S. Lewis understood the power of pagan imagery in preparing the young imagination for the moral rigors and spiritual comforts of biblical religion. Indeed, if there is something wrong with a "tone of death" in children's literature, then we might as well jettison all our volumes of fairy tales. For these distilled popular narratives exert their charm and power precisely, as Bruno Bettelheim pointed out, because they allow children a reality-removed way to confront the "existential predicament."
And what of the "Picardo Venus"? Must she be rejected, as one citizen-critic contended, because she "glorifies fertility a little too much for kids," or because, as another said, "no normal woman looks like that?"
Do "normal" women look like Picasso painted them? Or Rubens? Did not Botticelli's immortal "The Birth of Venus" also glorify fertility? The point is that almost all the arguments we bring against public support of controversial new works are at best specious, at worst manifestly wrongheaded. Informed aesthetic judgments seem to elude us.
Faced with creative works that seem to us alien and unappealing, we are forced to fall back on that proverbial disclaimer, "I don't know much about it ... I only know what I like."
Just because an artwork doesn't make us feel warm and fuzzy doesn't mean it's worthless. The Seattle man who protests against the "Picardo Venus" on the basis that "art is supposed to evoke all these good feelings" is wrong. Good art is not necessarily pleasing. It is, however, disciplined. It is about mastery of medium, form, and style. And good art must communicate something comprehensibly worthwhile, something worthy of contemplation. And here we get closer to the aesthetic problem facing the American public today. More and more so-called artists today call attention to themselves by shocking and agitating rather than by promoting reflection. In reaction to these salvos, the public has come to anticipate offense.
How do we move past the disturbing impasse of public contention over art and toward a healthier, more vital cultural life? One answer is to be guided in our aesthetic judgments by three important principles:
*Art doesn't do. It says. Art is not action; it is speculation. It is looking, listening, digesting, speaking. Art can make a controversial statement; but it cannot do controversial things. If the primary effect of a so-called artwork is physical repulsion or titillation, if it acts on us rather than speaks to us, it is simply not up to the standards of art. If it makes us think, however, we should take up the challenge.
*Art is about content, not context. Art is the schematic arrangement of forms and symbols through specific, culturally recognized mediums. If we exhibit, say, a cow's embryo in an art museum, it does not suddenly become a work of visual art simply by virtue of its surroundings.
Similarly, if we hung a print of Titian's "Woman on a Couch" in a biology lab, it would scarcely transform that painting into a science display. We need to be open to the possibilities of the creative process; yet, we must recognize that not everything offered up in the artistic arena is art.
*The greater the knowledge, the sounder the judgment. When we venture onto the battlefield of the culture wars, we owe it to our artists and ourselves to come armed with knowledge. In a multicultural society such as America's, that means making the attempt to familiarize ourselves with the major artistic traditions of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Before we criticize, we need first to understand. Indeed, there is nothing more inspiring to good artists than a public that can be communicated with on the highest and most subtle levels of creativity and skill.

Wow! I got an award and a petrol discount!
Remember the palin bag?? I posted it on Craftster, way back when and it ended up being chosen in the top five for it's category. Surprise! I don't spend much time at craftster these days, more on pattern review, but every now and then, if I've made something and haven't used a pattern, I'll post it. If you haven't ever checked out craftster.org, you should, there's all kinds of nifty things there.
And this dress:
I was wearing it when I filled the car up with petrol - the attendant loved it so much, he gave me a discount on my fuel! Nice one!

You deserve the award..... as for the discount petrol ...... someone giving away petrol money (ie discount) for what you are wearing - where is this place?ReplyDeleteReplies
ha ha, sorry BeaJay, it's in Brissie. As it's just down the road from the new house we're buying, tigerboy thinks that I should always go there to fill up the car.Delete
Congratulations on the award! The dress is very elegant with a pretty cool fabric. It fits perfectly.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. A couple of weeks ago we were away for the weekend and a few people stopped me at different points to ask where I bought it, tigerboy says he thinks the main reason is because it's such a perfect fit.Delete
Very pretty! Maybe you should call it your good karma dress.ReplyDelete
It gets worn a lot because it's such an easy dress to wear as well as being so light and cool for summer. There's also the bonus of having a woven that doesn't need ironing ;)ReplyDeleteReplies

You gotta love a dress that doesn't need ironing ;)! Super cute dress by the way!Delete
Gosh, I wish that kind of thing would happen to me ; of course, I don't have a car but ....!ReplyDelete
Probably not worth buying a car to see if it will happen ;)ReplyDelete


text: Cyanide Studio's Game Of Thrones RPG is going to have an "epic plot," apparently. Their words, not ours. But you can make up your own mind by watching the newest trailer, which focuses on protagonists, characters and storyline. Guided by vengeance, allegiance, honor and family, the two heroes of the game – Mors, sworn brother of the Night's Watch, and the red priest Alester – will travel across Westeros and its most famous locales.

CARMEL, N.Y. -- A 55-year-old Putnam County woman is facing felony charges after being caught stealing thousands of dollars from a family member's retirement fund.
On Thursday, March 9, New York State Police were contacted by a man from Queens who reported that someone had withdrawn more than $2,000 from his 401K account. According to police, the deduction, including taxes, totaled the removal of more than $3,000 from his retirement fund.
Police said that the subsequent investigation into the missing money revealed that Carmel resident Bonnie Garvey had applied for a hardship loan from her victim's account and forged his name on the loan document.
Garvey was arrested on Wednesday, March 15 and charged with felony counts of third-degree grand larceny and second-degree forgery. She is scheduled to appear in the Town of Southeast Court for arraignment on Thursday morning.

This item from The Toronto Star is just sad:
The classic literary novel To Kill a Mockingbird is being pulled from the Grade 10 English course at a Brampton high school after a parent complained about the use of a racial epithet in the book.
Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, which challenges racial injustice in America's Deep South, will be removed from curriculum at St. Edmund Campion Secondary School following a lone complaint from a parent whose child will be in Grade 10 this September.
Though I'd seen a couple of stage versions over the years and, of course, the movie, I didn't get around to reading Harper Lee's acclaimed novel until this year. It was worth the wait: To Kill a Mockingbird is a subtly stunning work of fiction. If you haven't read the book, add it to your must read list. And if there's a teenager in your life, perhaps buy a copy for him or her, if only to protest that idiot St. Edmund Campion Secondary School parent who would ban a contemporary masterwork through their own lack of intellect and understanding.

So, wearing my bra as a top leads to the most demure outfit I've ever worn to a nightclub? Of course it does.
Sublimaze and me at dinner last month in the lone star state.
If only you had Tony's trench coat.
Haha, true! I love how when he put it on at the hostel and went through the pockets he was like "Hey, cigarettes and condoms, this thing's fuckin' authentic!"
What's got two thumbs and wears short-shorts?
Shout out for Optik TV. Don't ask...
On another note.
Shortly before Halloween.
First ETS group shot of 2012?
On a rooftop at a hotel in Venice Beach, with a few select randoms:
Aww, takin' me back to SDCC!
Please say someone fingered Alex for me?
Look at Plastic Soul being too cool for school.
Speaking of ETS meet ups, I had the pleasure of playing host to a couple of ETSers last November for the Puscifer show here in Seattle
Tony and John playing tourist We went to the corp office for Starbucks and they just had to take a photo.....together <3
Tony, Karla, Myself, and Johnbron!
Y U ALL NO COME TO VANCOUVER??? And those photos are rad. <3!
Because there is fuck all to do in Vancouver. Best case scenario for me will probably be a trip to Seattle and then see where the days take me. But first I must visit the gay safehouse of the USA.

I'm sure we're all aware of the Nexus 4's lack of LTE, and some of us are more than a little disappointed about it. Well, depending on what carrier you're on and what part of the world you live in, we've got good news for Nexus 4 owners and potential buyers. Thanks to our Canadia friends, we've some videos of the Nexus 4's hidden LTE chip working on the Telus network with a simple carrier menu code.
It's a simple tweak that only involves dialing *#*4636#*#* and changing the preferred network type to LTE. Now, here's the bad news; this only works if your carrier uses band 4 LTE. Reports are that it isn't working in the UK, or on AT&T's LTE network. T-Mobile customers are in luck, as that is exactly the type of LTE T-Mobile will be rolling out soon.
Any Canadian Nexus 4 owners having luck trying this out?

Visitors are welcomed by an inscription that reads: "Let your house be wide open."
The maxim in the lobby of the new Hillel building on the Johns Hopkins University campus is more than a cheery salutation. It is an affirmation of the building's purpose.
"A good Hillel is one that reflects the Jewish values of being welcoming," said Rabbi Joseph Menashe, the director of Hillel at Hopkins.

Following a bitter dispute between CEO Damon Dash and David Gensler, CEO of the Native/DBG unit created as Rocawear's in-house agency, Mr. Gensler has departed along with five other Native employees, and marketing at the growing brand is now being spearheaded by former Levi Strauss & Co. executive Roy Edmondson.
The dissolution of Native last month-a joint venture formed by Mr. Dash, Mr. Gensler and Kareem "Biggs" Burke little more than a year ago-came about as a result of "differences in management styles and vision," according to Mr. Gensler, who has started his own marketing consulting business with former Rocawear VP-marketing Aki Spicer.
expanding portfolio
Native was designed to expand the stable of apparel brands, including the $300 million-plus Rocawear label, beyond the urban market. It also was responsible for marketing ROC's growing portfolio of film and record labels, Armadale Vodka, America magazine and other products.
Despite rape allegations that cast a specter over Rocawear's efforts (AA, Feb. 2), Mr. Edmondson said that expanding through alliances forged with outside partners is still very much the plan.
"The model is similar to Richard Branson's with Virgin, albeit with strong roots in urban culture," said Mr. Edmondson, a Brit whose resume includes marketing at behemoth Philip Morris Cos. (now Altria Group) and 15 years at Levi Strauss & Co., most recently as director-worldwide presence marketing.
Instead of being wary of the controversy surrounding the hip-hop scene he has entered, Mr. Edmondson sees it as "a crazy and inspiring new world" free of the red tape of classic marketing and a "completely new and refreshing opportunity to do things differently." As for the rape charges, he said those have "disappeared," and as the company moves forward it has to be true to its roots in the urban market, where core values include supporting family. "And the truth is, not everyone in your family behaves well all the time," he said.
Marshal Cohen, chief analyst at research firm NPD Group, cited Rocawear as one of three urban brands (along with Phat Farm and Sean John) that he believes will make it to the mainstream. The challenge, he said, will be "how to remain true to the urban consumer while you're busy playing in Sheboygan, Wisconsin."
multiple personalites
Doing so, Mr. Cohen said, will require "taking on multiple personalities" through branding, marketing, media and entertainment, branching out into various businesses and partnering with mainstream manufacturers as Russell Simmons has done so successfully for Phat Farm. Mr. Dash's behavior is less important to marketing the Rocawear brand in suburbia than P. Diddy's is to his apparel brand, Sean John, Mr. Cohen said, because he is not nearly as recognizable a figure.
Mr. Edmondson said that in fact the company's expansion is based on the view that "we're operating in a colorless world where we can be different things to different people."
Since he has come on board, Mr. Edmondson has executed advertising and promotions Native had in place to build the company's Rocawear, State Property and Team Roc apparel brands as well as its new WashHouse denim brand. He is in the process of "staffing up," having hired a director of communications and a sponsorship and promotion manager among others, and expects to "get the ship sailing in the right direction" within six months.
"The blend between music, film and clothing is quite an exciting opportunity for people, and we have the chance to market that in a unique and different way," he said.

Olde Tyme Writing Set
Prithee read this missive.
- Get back to the way folks e-mailed in the olden days.
- Feather and wooden pen handle included.
- Also comes with seven interchangeable nibs and a little bottle of ink.
In the days of olde, when carriages were the newest mode of transportation, people used to do a bizarre thing. They would take these things called quills (and later, pens) and dip them in ink. Then, by scratching them across paper, a tangible version of an e-mail was created. This then had to be physically carried to the recipient before it could be read. Strange, we know. Well, now you can relive this pre-internet form of communication with this Olde Tyme Writing Set. Readeth on!
Each Olde Tyme Writing Set comes in a rather pretty little box. Placed on your desk, it will instantly demand attention. Inside, you'll find seven interchangeable nibs, a bottle of ink, a wooden pen, and a feather pen. Just pick your nib, pick your writing implement, dip in ink, and go! With some practice, you'll be creating font-worthy letters and missives without having to type. The Olde Tyme Writing Set will let you introduce the present to the past and create a really fun future - one letter at a time.
Olde Tyme Writing Set
- Compose beautiful letters by dipping an actual pen into actual ink.
- Two writing options: use the turned wooden pen handle or the feather - both with a brass quill tip.
- Includes: Wooden pen handle, Feather pen, seven interchangeable nibs, and a small bottle of ink.
- Ink Color: Burnt sienna.
- Dimensions: (pens measured without nibs)
- Wooden Pen: approx. 5.25" long.
- Feather Pen: approx. 8" long (natural variations may occur).
- Storage Box: approx. 10" x 3.5" x 2.5".

Fergie: Up for 'X Factor' Judge Spot?

The 36-year-old singer is rumored to be considered for one of the vacant spots at the X Factor judges table.
Other reported candidates include Britney Spears, Pink, Katy Perry, and Avril Lavigne. Janet Jackson was also thought to be up for the gig, but she recently said "it just wouldn't be possible."
Last month, Fergie was in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to check out the annual Carnival parade.
10+ pictures inside of Fergie landing at LAX Airport…


text: I'm at the point now where I have finished traveling and some niche websites are just about paying my rent. Now that I have a new job in SEO I want to invest money into my websites to clear my student loan debt and taking flying lessons. I've always written the posts myself for all my sites but i'm not a writer and while I want to pump out 5 posts a day I have to be honest with myself that I prefer to fiddle around with websites and code etc. So, I need to produce content either spun or hire a writer.. Which one do you think would be best for a long term future with my website? I know spun would be attractive, less money etc and a good writer will be hard to find and expensive.. Just wondering people's thoughts on each one. Thanks
