- O2 Pay & Go UK SIM card
The O2 UK SIM card gives you cheap calls and data access when visiting the United Kingdom and many European countries.
|We now sell all our O2 UK SIM cards pre-loaded with credit so your SIM card is ready to use as soon as you arrive in the UK.
You have a choice of a SIM card pre-activated on your choice of three different O2 Pay & Go tariffs. The best option will depend on the type of calls you plan on making and how much data access you need. There are also several add-on options that let you add extra data and all O2 prepaid tariffs offer low-cost roaming when used in other European countries. Overall an O2 SIM card on one of the Big Bundle plans is an excellent choice if you're visiting the UK and making side trips to Europe and an O2 SIM on the International SIM tariff is a great option for a short trip of up to 10 days.
Call and data charges when using an O2 SIM card in the UK
The O2 UK SIM card is great value if you're visiting the UK.
You have a choice of three tariffs:
- The £15 Big Bundle tariff is the best option for people who will mostly be making local calls (including calls to other people also travelling with an O2 UK SIM card) but need data for maps, social media and translation apps and who also need to use their phone when travelling in other European Union countries.
- The £30 Big Bundle tariff is the best option if you need a lot of data (20GB to use in the UK) but also need to make both local and international calls and who also need to use their phone when travelling in other European Union countries.
- The International SIM tariff is best if you're only making a short trip and only need a little data and most of your calls will be international calls back home.
Here is an overview of the three plans you can choose from:
|International SIM
|£15 Big Bundle
|£30 Big Bundle
|Call a UK landline or mobile phone
|3000 minutes to O2 mobile phones included, 30p/minute to other networks
|500 minutes included, after you have used your first 500 minutes per month you will be charged 35p/minute
|3000 minutes included, after you have used your first 3000 minutes per month you will be charged 35p/minute
|Send a text message to a UK mobile phone
|3000 text messages to O2 mobile phones included, 15p/message to other networks
|1000 text messages included, after you have sent your first 1000 messages per month you will be charged 15p/message
|3000 text messages included, after you have sent your first 3000 messages per month you will be charged 15p/message
|Call an Australian landline phone
|Call an Australian mobile phone
|Send a text message to an Australian mobile phone
|Data access
|200MB data included, then £1/day
|5GB included, then £1/day
|20GB included, then £1/day
|Included credit
|£0 (but your first month of service is already paid for so you have 30 days access to your inclusive call and data package)
|£0 (but your first month of service is already paid for so you have 30 days access to your inclusive call and data package)
|Cost to continue your service for another month
|No minimum monthly charge
|Best for a short trip with cheap international calls
|Best inclusive package with local calls and moderate data use
Best inclusive package with local calls and cheap international calls and high data use.
The above call and data rates apply when using your phone in the United Kingdom.
The 3000 minutes of calls and text messages to O2 UK mobile phones that you get on the International SIM tariff is valid for 30 days from the date you start using your SIM card upon arrival in the United Kingdom. You get another 30 days of calls and text messages to O2 UK mobile phones every time you top up £15 or more.
Charges to UK landline and mobile phones apply to standard numbers only (that is to mobile phone numbers in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales starting in 07 and landline phone numbers in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales starting in 01, 02 and 03), higher charges apply when calling premium numbers such as numbers beginning with 0845 and 0875 (similar to 13 and 1300 numbers in Australia) and when calling phones in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man (including some travel SIM services that advertise as having UK numbers). Calls to freephone numbers beginning with 0800 and 0808 are free on all tariffs.
Charges for calls to special numbers are as follows:
|Freephone numbers (starting with 0800 and 0808)
|Premium numbers (starting with 08 and 09)
|Landline and mobile numbers in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man (although these numbers use the UK +44 country code, they are considered international calls but are not among the countries that have discounted calls with the International SIM or £30 Big Bundle tariffs)
|Directory information numbers (starting with 118)
The International SIM comes pre-loaded with £15 credit, which you can use to pay for calls and data (after you have used your initial 200MB data allowance). As you will be charged £1/day for data use (after you have used your initial 200MB), most people find that the included £15 credit will last them 10–14 days, so it is worth considering a Big Bundle plan for a longer trip.
The Big Bundle packages don't included any credit, but we do pay the initial £15 or £30 to cover your first month of service. This means that you can use your inclusive call and data allowance without needing to add any additional credit, but you will need to top up a little extra credit if you need to make calls that are not included as part of your plan (such as international calls or calls to 0845 or 0875 numbers). Most people using the Big Bundle packages do not need to top up any additional credit.
Yes, you can tether with this SIM card. Unlike many other UK and European prepaid SIM cards, you can now tether (use your phone as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot) with this SIM card.
Tethering is only supported when you're on the O2 network in the United Kingdom and if you have an Apple iPhone, tethering will only work with an iPhone 5 or newer and it needs to be running iOS 10.1 or higher.
Data bolt-ons if you have an O2 SIM card on the International SIM tariff
Data charges with an O2 SIM card on the International SIM tariff are not as attractive as those offered by the Big Bundle tariffs, but there are some bolt-on packages that you can add that will give you more data if you are on this plan.
|Data bolt-on
|Cost per month
|How to add your data bolt-on
|500MB data
|Call 2202 from your phone
|1GB data
|Call 2202 from your phone
|2GB data
|Call 2202 from your phone
You must have enough credit in your prepaid account before calling to add one of these data bolt-ons.
International call charges when using the O2 SIM card in the UK
If you are on the International SIM or the £30 Big Bundle tariff, international call charges are discounted when using the O2 SIM card in the UK, but these discounted call rates do not apply when roaming on other networks elsewhere in Europe. Also you will need to have sufficient balance in your prepaid account to cover the cost of these calls.
|International SIM
|£15 Big Bundle
|£30 Big Bundle
|Australia – landline
|Australia – mobile
|Canada – landline

Discounted international call rates to the United States of America do not include calls to Alaska or Hawaii. Calls to Alaska and Hawaii are charged at 4p/minute to both landline and mobile phones if you are on the International SIM or the £30 Big Bundle tariff, the standard international call charge of £1.50/minute applies if you are on the £15 Big Bundle tariff.
International text messages cost 15p/message if you are on the International SIM or the £30 Big Bundle tariff and 20p/message if you are on the £15 Big Bundle plan.
If you are on the £15 Big Bundle plan (or are travelling outside the UK) then we recommend using an app such as Facetime, Localphone, Rebtel, Skype or Viber for all your international calls. If you have credit on a Rebtel or Skype account, you are able to call any phone (not just other Rebtel or Skype users) at low rates.
Compared with other networks, O2 has excellent coverage throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It will work in most parts of the country, including the Scottish Highlands and islands. However, coverage in rural areas is never as good as what we're used to in Australia (if you're an Optus or Telstra customer, then virtually nowhere else in the world offers rural coverage as good as what you're used to at home). All networks in the UK do have some areas where coverage is a little patchy, particularly in rural areas. If you will be visiting rural areas you should check your coverage here.
Roaming in Europe
You can use your inclusive call and data allowance when travelling in other European Union countries, making an O2 UK SIM card an ideal SIM card for use when travelling elsewhere in Europe. However there are some conditions.
With the O2 UK SIM card you can use your inclusive calls and data in the following countries (Europe zone countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, French Guyana, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Guadeloupe, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Martinique, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Reunion, Romania, Saint Barthelemy (St Barts), St Martin, San Marino, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden
This covers all European Union countries plus Iceland and Norway and French territories in the Caribbean and South America. However, it does not include other European countries including Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, the Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey), Georgia, the Isle of Man, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, Russia, Serbia, Switzerland and Ukraine.
|The O2 SIM is a great option if you are travelling in most European countries, but the Three UK SIM may be a better option if your trip includes the Channel Islands or Switzerland.
The included value you can use when roaming in Europe outside the United Kingdom will depend on which tariff your O2 UK SIM card is set up on. Generally the Big Bundle plans are the best value for roaming outside the UK as they include a bundle of calls and data that work throughout the European Union.
|These cheap European roaming rates may be discontinued when the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. At this stage, this is scheduled for 11pm (UK time) on Friday 29 March 2019. The cost of using your SIM card outside the United Kingdom may increase if your trip extends beyond this date.
European roaming with the International SIM tariff
The International SIM tariff is reasonably priced for calls and data access when roaming outside the UK, but the Big Bundle tariffs are much better value. The cheap international calls that are included with this plan are only available to you when you are using your SIM in the United Kingdom. You are able to use data from your data bundle (if you have bonus data from a top up or if you have added a data bolt-on) when travelling in European Union countries. Free calls to other O2 mobile phones are also available when travelling in EU countries (but this only applies to phones on the O2 UK network, not to phones on O2's networks in other European countries).
- Incoming calls free
- Calls to the UK 30p/minute
- Calls to other O2 UK mobiles free if you have a bundle of free calls to O2 mobile phones (you get a free bundle of calls to other O2 mobiles for 30 days whenever you top up £15 or more)
- Data access you can use data from your bundle
When roaming in Europe zone countries using an O2 SIM card on the International SIM tariff, you can access any data that is included in any bolt-on data package. This means that you should add a bolt-on data package before leaving the UK (the £1/day data rate only applies when you're on the O2 network in the UK).
European roaming with a Big Bundle tariff
The Big Bundle tariff is the best value for European roaming. With this tariff you can use your included call and data bundle (up to a maximum of 10GB per month) when travelling in Europe zone countries.
The Big Bundle plans give you a monthly call and data allowance. The total call and data allowance is for use in both the UK and when roaming in Europe zone countries, however the way that the calls and data can be used varies depending on whether you are using your phone in the United Kingdom or when roaming in Europe zone countries. For instance if you are on the £30 Big Bundle plan you get 3000 minutes of calls during the one month validity of your plan, in the UK this call allowance can only be used for calls to UK numbers, but when travelling in Europe zone countries it can be used for local calls, calls to the UK and calls to other Europe zone countries.
|Incoming calls are free on all O2 plans when travelling in Europe zone countries.
The inclusive data allowance in your O2 tariff can be used when roaming in Europe zone countries up to a maximum of 10GB in a 30-day period. This means that you can use the maximum data allowance if you are on the £15 Big Bundle tariff, but only 10GB of your 20GB data allowance if you are on the £30 Big Bundle tariff.
O2's European roaming is a great deal, but there are some terms and conditions:
- Your first use of the O2 SIM card must occur on O2's network in the United Kingdom
- You cannot use the SIM roaming in Europe (outside the UK) for longer than 60 days in any four-month period
- You cannot use more than 10GB data roaming in Europe (outside the UK) during a 30-day period. This means that if you are on a Big Bundle package with more than 10GB data (such as the £30 Big Bundle plan with 20GB data), then you are restricted to using only 10GB data when roaming in Europe outside the UK (although you can use the rest of the 20GB data package in the UK).
- Data roaming must be enabled on your phone in order to access data when travelling outside the UK.
- It is likely that these cheap European roaming rates may be discontinued when the United Kingdom leaves the European Union.
Cheaper calls to countries outside Europe when travelling outside the UK
Calls made within the European Union (for instance calls made from France to Spain) are cheap (you can use your included minutes for these calls), but calls made to non-EU countries while roaming within the EU (for instance calls made from France to Australia) are considerably more expensive (calls to Australia cost £1.99/minute, regardless of which O2 tariff you have). Fortunately there are a lot of ways to make cheaper calls home when travelling outside the United Kingdom.
Apps such as Facetime, Localphone, Rebtel, Skype or Viber all give you cheap (and in some instances, free) calls home to Australia. Because these apps use a lot of data it is best to use them when you have a Wi-Fi connection. These apps can also be used when you're in the UK, especially if you have the £15 Big Bundle package which does not include discounted international calls.
We recommend adding credit to either a Rebtel or Skype account. If you have credit on a Rebtel or Skype account you are able to call any phone (not just other Rebtel or Skype users) at very low rates. An advantage of Rebtel is that it has the option of piggybacking your international call on top of a local call to minimise data use (although this does use your inclusive call minutes).
Topping up your credit
Your SIM card is pre-loaded with credit and is ready to use when you arrive in the UK, however it is easy to top up extra credit after arriving in the UK.
Even though you will have a zero pound balance on your prepaid account (if you are on one of the Big Bundle plans), credit will have been added to your account the day you arrived (but O2 will have taken this to pay for your Big Bundle plan). If you're on a Big Bundle plan, you should not need to top up any extra credit as you will have a bundle of calls and data that will last for 30 days from the date you arrive in the UK.
You may need to top-up additional credit for the following reasons:
- You need to call a premium number that is not included in your free calls
- You need to make international calls
- You want to extend your service for an additional month (you need to top up £15 to extend the £15 Big Bundle tariff for another month or £30 to extend the £30 Big Bundle tariff for another month)
Topping up at shops in the UK
You can buy top-up vouchers from over 100,000 shops in the UK including corner shops, newsagents (including WH Smith), post offices, petrol stations, pharmacies (like Boots and Superdrug) and supermarkets (like Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose). The minimum value top-up voucher is £10.
Any shop in the UK that has the green top-up logo will sell top-up vouchers for the O2 network.
Just ask the cashier at any of these shops for an O2 top-up voucher and you will be given a top-up voucher that looks like a receipt. The top-up voucher will include instructions for redeeming your top up. Basically, to redeem a top-up voucher call 4444 from your mobile and follow the prompts (which will ask you to key in the code printed on the voucher).
As a tourist, you can not top up directly with O2. You must purchase a top-up voucher from a retailer in the UK or from a third-party top-up site.
Only UK residents can top up by calling O2 or through the O2 website, as O2 only accept credit cards issued in the UK (with a UK billing address). However, there is no problem buying top-up vouchers from other retailers (or even from O2's own physical retail outlets).
Topping up when travelling in Europe
You can only buy credit from shops in the United Kingdom, but there are still other ways that you can top up when travelling outside the UK.
|You can only use top up vouchers for the O2 UK network. You can not use top up vouchers for the O2 network in Germany to top up this SIM card.
If you are travelling outside the UK you can top up online at mobiletopup.co.uk (this website will accept payment by PayPal and also accepts Australian credit cards).
Before you leave the UK to travel around Europe, it is a good idea to buy credit in the UK as top up vouchers purchased from retail shops in the UK are slightly cheaper than credit purchased online.
Help is just a phone call away
If you have any questions with your SIM card when you are travelling in the United Kingdom (or elsewhere in Europe) it is easy to get help. You can call O2's UK-based customer service centre or if you prefer you can call us directly. We have a UK number (020 3286 2828) that will come out of your generous allowance of minutes of your Big Bundle package. Our UK number is also the cheapest way to contact us if you are roaming elsewhere in Europe (as it will come out of your call allowance). However if you are calling us from the UK with a SIM card set up on the International SIM tariff, then it will be cheapest for you to call our Australian number +61 3 9988 0686. You can call our UK number 24 hours a day.
Frequently asked questions
When will I know my UK mobile phone number?
You will know your UK mobile phone number as soon as you receive your SIM card. Your phone number is printed on the back of the SIM card packaging. It is the 11-digit number starting with 07 printed under the barcode.
Does my phone need to be unlocked?
Yes. Your phone must always be unlocked before using a SIM card from a different network. Although nowadays, many phones are sold already unlocked; it is best to check that your phone is unlocked prior to travelling. If you're on a contract, most networks will unlock your phone free of charge (Vodafone may charge a small fee for unlocking your phone but Optus and Telstra generally don't charge anything).
Can I use my phone as a mobile hotspot?
Yes. Unlike many other European prepaid mobile services, O2 let you tether (use your phone as a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot). This wasn't always the case and up until early 2017 this was a service restricted to customers on contract, but now all O2 customers including prepaid customers can use their phone as a mobile hotspot.
A couple of important points:
- If you have an Apple iPhone, tethering will only work with an iPhone 5 or newer and it needs to be running iOS 10.1 or higher.
- Tethering is only supported when using your phone on the O2 network in the United Kingdom. There is no guarantee that it will work when roaming on other networks outside the UK.
Do I need to register my service and do I need to provide ID?
No. There is no requirement to register your service or show identification when activating a new mobile phone service in the United Kingdom. Simply put it in an unlocked phone and turn it on when you arrive in the UK and it is ready to go.
When will my SIM card start working?
When you buy your SIM card from us, we ask for the date you arrive in the UK. We add credit to your SIM card just after midnight (UK time) so your SIM card is ready to use the day you arrive in the UK. It is important to let us know if your travel dates change so we can ensure that your mobile service is ready to use as soon as you arrive in the United Kingdom.
How long will my SIM card remain active for?
If you are on the International SIM tariff you can keep using your service until you have run out of credit, then top up more credit to keep using it again. If you are on one of the Big Bundle plans your service will be valid for 30 days from the date you arrive in the UK, you can extend your mobile service for another 30 days simply buy topping up enough credit (£15 or £30 depending on your Big Bundle tariff) to pay for your next month of service.
If your credit runs out or your Big Bundle package ends, your SIM card will remain active for six months from the last date you used your phone (the last date you accessed data, sent a text message or made a phone call). You can top up your credit within this six month period to start using your service again, but if you go for longer than six months without using your SIM card, your service will expire and you will need to buy a new SIM card.
If you regularly travel to the UK or Europe, you can keep your SIM card active simply by popping it in your phone in Australia (make sure you turn off data roaming first) at least once every six months to send a text message (the cheapest thing you can do when roaming outside Europe). You will need extra credit on your account to do this.
Please note the above rates are current as of 13 December 2017

Denver's weather forecast is nearly identical for the next four days
Good morning. Denver's forecast for today, Sept. 18, is a high of 84 degrees and sunny skies. It's pretty much identical for every day through Thursday, with minor fluctuations in temperature, according to the National Weather Service. The dry weather will result in increased fire danger.
The pattern may break on Friday as another cold front starts to bring temperatures down, according to NWS. The weekend could see highs in the 60s. The mountains are already pretty chilly — I ran into blasts of sleet while hiking near Mount Evans on Sunday.

The Studio Experience - Special offers from £19
There is always a great feeling about having a professional portrait done, but there is also a little apprehension. Most people have never set foot into a Photography Studio before and the experience can be a little daunting at first as well as exciting. I have great experience in putting my models at ease so that I can capture the real you. The Studio is booked on a half or full day basis to ensure that there are no time pressures. You will be greeted with a warm smile and we will take some time to discuss what you are looking to achieve from your session. Professional make up and Professional Hair Stylists can be arranged for your shoot should you want them (at extra cost, contact me for current pricing). Once we are happy that we have a 'plan of action' for the shoot we will get you into the studio and have some fun capturing the images you are looking for.
To see the stunning hand picked products available for your photographs you can download our
STUDIO BROCHURE HERE and our STUDIO PRICE LIST HERE
Most Studio Shoots only require a half day booking, as looking your best and posing your hardest can be more tiring that you may think. There is always the option of a full days shoot for more complicated assignments which we can discuss beforehand.
Studio Time is £120 per hour. The Studio is also available for hire at £20 per hour for any budding studio photographers out there.
Please contact us through the CONTACT page

Hollywood actor, Charlie Sheen has come out to confirm reports that he is HIV positive. This comes after many months of rumors that the 50 year old actor had the viral disease.
"I am here to admit that I am in fact HIV positive and I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks, of sub-truths – very harmful … stories that are threatening the health of so many others," he told the Today show on NBC this morning.
Sheen said he learned about the diagnosis roughly 4 years ago. "It's a hard three letters to absorb."

Beware of those who are selling the Track Topper/Track Cap/Rail Topper/Rail Cap names usually seen when talking about this product. Who are cutting these down in 3' or 4' foot sections to reduce shipping costs for Long Packages. The whole idea is for a continuous clean solid piece from one end to the other so that the weight of the very heavy doors are fully supported across the length of the rail. If you cut this very ridged piece in half you will have two pieces flopping around and not getting the complete support that is needed for the doors. That's why we only offer full 6' 8' and 10' sections. The shipping charges are higher, but you get a complete product that does the job that it was designed to do. However in this $4+ gas economy we now must concede that the 10" rail topper has become almost Gold when it comes to shipping.
I finally got one of the cut in two rail topper jobs here in Atlanta. As you can see the 8' door that had this rail topper installed had a bad track about 3 foot into the track itself. So when the rail topper was cut at 4' it was almost right on the bad spot in the track. As you can see there was not enough support near the bad track spot to support the weight of the door. The weight of the door along with the location of the bad spot in the track caused the cut 2 piece rail topper to roll up and cause the door not to work. We installed a complete 8' rail topper and it is capable of spanning the several inch bad spot in the track itself and is now working like a charm. The rail topper wont span a 6" long spot of bad or missing track but it will comfortably take up a 2 or 3 inch bad track gap as long as the rail topper is installed in one piece full length.

Twenty years ago, one year after the Berlin Wall fell, filmmakers Gabriele and Mark Hayes produced a documentary about the impact of German reunification on everyday life. This documentary was seen some twenty years later by Justinian Jampol, director of the Wende Museum and Archive of the Cold War in Los Angeles.
The Wende Museum was looking for an event to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the reunification of Germany. A documentary would be ideal. Gabriele and Mark agreed. They had been thinking of producing a new documentary combining some of their older footage with new material that would include interviews with politicians, musicians, comedians, and everyday " Ossis" and Wessis." Now they had a goal – to finish the project in time for a Wende Museum event commemorating the twentieth anniversary of German reunification.
They began shooting One Germany, The Other Side of the Wall in June of 2010 and a rough cut was finished in time to screen at the Wende Museum event on October 3, 2010.

I bought a new Olympus OMD E-M1 (recently after my PEN got broken). Such a precious peace of technology with high-end image quality! I really love this tiny monster! I used it already for a wedding-shooting and on my (still on-going) three-weeks trip Stockholm. And during the latter one it happened: Problems with the rear-wheel occurred.
I operate my cameras mostly in manual-mode (M) and the rear-wheel of the E-M1 is used to adjust the exposure time. On the street I have to adjust the exposure time very often and very quickly, while I keep the aperture mostly wide opened. A wheel, that works inconsistently, slows me down and I miss important, unique moments. And that's the problem I have with the E-M1: adjusting the wheel has often no effect on the exposure time or any other setting related to that wheel. This issue is well documented by other OMD-user on DPReview.
When I'm back I'll bring the camera to my retailer. Since this problem seems to occur from the very beginning of the E-M1 (since 2013!), one might ask the question, if Olympus is taking its quality control seriously. The E-M1 is a high-end premium product. I'm totally disappointed.

IE9 Forms bug with some web sites
Hi all
IE9 seems to have a problem on some web sites (doesn't matter if comptability view is enabled or not) with forms so you can't for example log in
Chrome doesn't display the same problem
Here's the SAME website logon form from IE9 and Chrome
IE9 on the left -- LOGIN is written over where you would normally enter your password.
Chrome on the right displays correctly.
IE9 version running on W7 X-86.
|My System Specs
|16 Mar 2011
Use F12 and see if changing the compatibility or browser modes (or some combo of the two) gets the page to display. Setting compatibility mode for a page doesn't go as far as the dev toolbar can - and while the dev toolbar won't help you fix it (unless it's your web site, of course), it can give you info to give to the web page designers. IE9 is pretty standards-compliant at this point, so it's likely the page is just coded improperly (versus the way IE used to be before IE8, where you could be pretty sure it was an IE problem rather than a page problem in IE6 and IE7...).
|My System Specs
|16 Mar 2011
Hi there
Thanks for the suggestion --always appreciated - but I've tried all that.
Seems strange however that Chrome renders the site OK while IE9 has problems whatever the site coding.
BTW I've also tried Firefox and Konqueror (KDE) both on on Linux SUSE 11.3 and web site is OK so its something in IE9 -- whether I've set something wrong I don't know -- I just downloaded and installed IE9. The only change I made was to get the Menu bar to display using the Group policy editor gpedit.exe so I wasn't even hacking the registry.
Site displays OK in IE8.
|My System Specs
|16 Mar 2011
What is the default browser and document rendering modes when you press F12 on the page when in IE9? My guess is it's using quirks mode, which is not going to render well in some pages in IE9 (quirks mode means the page either doesn't have a doctype, or has one that when parsed with the page renders back using the old IE5 rules).
|My System Specs
|16 Mar 2011
Hi there
I'll have a go with that tomorrow as I've re-installed IE8. I've got a W7 Virtual Machine I'll fire up later and see what happens.
Thanks -- now going to bed.

Maintaining the Connection
I've been really sentimental and emotional lately. Even catching glimpses of "Bethenny Getting Married?" on TV will make me tear up. Seeing the usually bitter, acerbic Bethenny Frankel get all mushy and gushy about her new baby daughter takes me back to the wonder and the profound love that smacked me over the head when H entered our world. I wonder if it's this bad when people have more than one child.
Anyway, we came home about an hour later, and I went upstairs to chat with her. She had a different idea. When I think of it from her point of view, (long week, emotionally drained, needing to decompress) I completely understand, but it was still difficult for me. She was in her bed, watching some mindless TV, and I came bursting in wanting to hear all about her night. She did NOT feel like sharing...just didn't have the energy. I reverted back to childhood and kind of stomped off, then she felt guilty and apologized. Not the outcome I had imagined or wanted for the evening.
experiences at Adventure Treks, Operation Smile, and Design Camp at NCSU. She is discovering things about herself, and in an effort to develop that sense of self, she feels the need to rebel a little against my control. I know that...my common sense tells me I need to let go a little bit...but my emotional side keeps fighting back.
We're making some progress. The good part is she's developing a really good connection with her dad. They walk the dog together, or have lunch together, and she is telling him more now than she did as a young girl. I do bite my tongue many times when I want to ask for more details than she gives, and try to keep my tidbits of "advice" which she always sees as criticisms, (are you going to wear that? I like your hair better this way, etc) to a minimum.
In other words, when she pulls away, I'm trying not to pursue as hard. She does always come back. Every now and then, when the stars align, I am in her bedroom when she feels like talking, and we have some wonderful discussions and connect in a way that gives me hope for the future. I think she reaches out when I don't push so hard.
So my hope for this school year, is that she continues to find out more about herself...her goals, her dreams, and who she wants to be. The only way that is going to work is if I let go. Not all the way. Just more than I have in the past. We will always be bound together, but I'm going to give her some slack in the rope.

Everyone in the U.S. Army, from top officers to new recruits, gets some kind of training. Soon, many of those trainees will also be in college. Sort of.
They will be in Army University: a soon-to-begin restructuring of the Army's educational system that will be modeled after traditional civilian universities. The idea is to consolidate the Army's many educational and training programs, to make them more flexible and adaptable, and to help students get more college credit for their military experience.
A handful of Army institutions, like the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and the U.S. Army War College, already operate as universities and offer accredited degrees. The vast majority of the army's training programs, however — some 70 different schools that train everyone from cadets to engineers to officers and truck drivers — are mostly unaccredited and unconnected.

Cyclone Sidr: European Commission to boost planned aid to 6.5 million euroNovember 20th, 2007 - 8:09 pm ICT by admin
Brussels, Nov.20 (ANI): The European Commission is launching a second humanitarian decision for Euro five million to help victims of Cyclone Sidr that struck Bangladesh last Thursday.
The proposed new emergency funding comes on top of Euro 1.5 million in fast-track aid allocated on Friday and would bring the total Commission contribution to 6.5 million euros so far.
Announcing the move, Louis Michel, the European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, spoke of the "shocking picture emerging from the coastal regions of Bangladesh". He continued: "the Commission's humanitarian field experts, who are in the stricken region, have reported total devastation in some villages; people left with nothing and living in the rubble.
The homes of around 280,000 people have been swept away. The immediate and critical needs are for food, clean drinking water, shelter materials, clothes, blankets and cooking utensils. The enormous damage to infrastructure, coupled with losses of both crops and livestock, mean that urgent action is also needed on basic rehabilitation. Otherwise, disease and malnutrition could claim many more victims".
The new funds will meet vital needs for water, food, shelter and household items such as soap, cooking utensils and jerrycans.
Commission humanitarian funds are managed by its Humanitarian Aid department (ECHO) and channelled through partner implementing agencies, including non-governmental organisations that specialise in international relief, United Nations agencies and the Red Cross/Crescent movement. (ANI)

BARCELONA, Spain -- The campaign lasted four years, cost $450,000 and took the sailors away from their homes and families for months at a time.
And yesterday, in the biggest race of their careers, the skipper and crew of the U.S. Olympic soling team gave away the 1992 Summer Games gold -- at the start.
After losing the first race in the best-of-three gold-medal match against Denmark, the U.S. team was penalized and required to make a 270-degree turn after the two boats touched just before the start of Race 2. Denmark took advantage of the mistake and took the second race.

Maybe we should just go ahead and rename it the ACEU (Anti-Christ European Union).
Turkish Foreign Minister Ali Babacan warned the European Union against becoming a "club of Christians" as he pushed Saturday for Ankara's membership in the bloc.
"If the EU finds itself as a club of Christians…. it is against the very soul of the EU," Babacan told reporters on the sidelines of the annual World Economic Forum in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.
EU heavyweights France and Germany are both opposed to full Turkish membership, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy has been particularly vocal on the issue, arguing that the mainly Muslim country does not belong in Europe.
Babacan regretted that the issue of religion had apparently become a factor in the debate on Turkey's accession.
"Religious lines should never be presented as a border," he said, adding that the current 27-nation composition of the European bloc already contained "huge differences" in terms of culture, religion and language.
"Yet, these countries have been successful to find communality," he said.
"At the end of the road, the decision has to be made over whether Turkey is going to add new richness to the EU, so that the EU has a truly global voice and a truly representative voice," he added.
Babacan also argued that allowing Turkey into the EU would allow the bloc to act as a bridge between the West and the Islamic world.

'Tis the season of children's movies, big-budget franchises and Oscar hopefuls, but there's a different kind of film moving me this year. I know what you're thinking: what could possibly be more thrilling than "Harry Potter?" That's easy, a thriller…You know the genre – conspiracy theories, intrigue, gut-wrenching music and nail-biting deadlines – and I'm happy to say two flicks in theaters right now fulfill these requirements and then some. The first is "Fair Game," starring Naomi Watts and Sean Penn, and the second is "The Next Three Days," starring Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks. Both movies are great rides and I recommend them to anyone looking for a little excitement at the box office this weekend, but they deliver very different types of thrills so I'd suggest reading on to determine which is your cup of tea…
"Fair Game" is based on the true story of Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson, the couple whose family lives and careers were turned upside down during the weapons-of-mass-destruction scandals of 2003. If you don't remember the political uproar involving Valerie Plame and Karl Rove, don't worry because the movie does a great job of filling you in. To pique your interest, however, I'll simply tell you that this movie is a story of a CIA operative who loses her job when the White House leaks her identity. The tension and thrills of this film are rooted in political intrigue and further heightened by Naomi Watts' exquisite performance, which will get you cheering for her from the start. Sean Penn gives an equally memorable performance as Watts' strong-willed and rather unlikeable husband, adding a unique layer of suspense regarding the couple's strained marriage. (I should note that I normally detest dramas that are simply about turbulent marriages, but watching the all-too-human struggle of two disparate people fighting against the world to keep their love alive is riveting in the context of this thriller.) There are not the typical action sequences you might expect from this genre, but you will be gripped by the constant threat of lives, marriages, and countries that are at stake.
"The Next Three Days" is a more conventional thriller, packed with guns and enough action sequences to take home leftovers in a doggy bag. The movie centers on a man's attempt to break his wife out of jail, and it does a great job of keeping you guessing…You're often left guessing whether Elizabeth Banks' character is innocent or guilty of murder, guessing how far Russell Crowe will go to save her, and even guessing what happened between the opening scene and when we next see Banks in jail several years later. Of all of these guessing games, I would say the most important is the way the film keeps the audience in the dark about key elements of Crowe's plan to break Banks out of jail – it delicately balances what we do and do not know, and uses this tightrope act to keep us in a maximum state of suspense. It is gripping to watch Crowe transform from a humble community college professor into a man who readily blows up crystal-meth labs, and this only augments the film's slow build of tension. However, make no mistake: this is not a character piece. This is a flick solely focused on the urgency of a ticking clock and a man's warrior-like attempt to outsmart the corrections system. In short, if you want character thrills go see "Fair Game," and if you want white-knuckle-action thrills go see "The Next Three Days."
Psst: Any other good thrillers in movie theaters right now? I've heard glowing things about "Unstoppable," but I've never been fond of movies that take place on trains – yes, this means I vastly preferred "Under Siege" to "Under Siege 2." If anyone can make a good case for "Unstoppable," though, I think I can bring myself to see it. Let the convincing begin.

"After" -6. Kc4xRd3, the position is:
White's captures are bQ and bN on f3 and g3, bQB at home. bBa6 is from a promotion on f1 or d1, so that the bl. Ps made 8 captures. The wPa2 did not leave its column and appear in this inventory. Similarly, the wPb2 did not leave its column and thus had just been captured on b5. So that -6 ... c6xPb5+ is indeed the only legal retraction. If White had retracted -4. Kc4-d3?? without uncapturing a R, then Black could have legally retracted e.g. -6 ... c6xBb5+! with no forward mate.

The Channel 6 segment that was filmed on monday should be airing tonight. After I was interviewed, the reporter talked to 3 different people who helped work on the mural. Some are staff and some are members.
Here is a link to the video
In addition I was just interviewed byWHYY's Maiken Scott for a segment on the mural that they will air tomorrow morning, just in time for the dedication (which, by the way, starts at 11am at 41st and Market Sts). This ceremony should be the biggest one I've had to date.

On April 3, 1917, an 11-year-old punched a naval officer on a ship in Halifax Harbour.
His father was proud.
"Shall I hit him again, Papa?" the boy called to his father, Leon Trotsky.
His father was being dragged from the Norwegian ocean liner that was supposed to take the family to Russia, where they intended to help lead the country's socialist revolution.
Instead, Trotsky ended up in an Amherst prisoner of war camp.
And in a historical irony, an out-of-the-way Nova Scotia industrial town unwittingly played a minor role in shaping the mind of a man whose ideas would help define the 20th century.
Leon Trotsky in August 1940. (THE ASSOCIATED PRESS / File)
"The whole month I was there was like one continuous mass meeting," Trotsky wrote in his memoirs in a chapter dedicated to his time in Amherst.
"We had constant group discussions. Our friendship (between him and the other prisoners) grew warmer every day."
The huge buildings of the Canadian Car and Foundry Co. had been converted to an internment camp around the outbreak of the First World War. Most of its 852 mainly German prisoners of war became, much to the camp commander's frustration, an experiment in Soviet-style organization.
Cape Breton author Silver Donald Cameron researched Trotsky's time in Amherst extensively for his play The Prophet at Tantramar, most recently performed in November by Amherst's Showcase Productions, an article for Canadian Geographic and a radio play for CBC.
"I wanted to see if I could get back to that sense of promise that the adherents of the Communist party felt at that time," Cameron said.
"The First World War was seen by them as the last clash of the old order and that the people would see through it. Trotsky was the prophet who articulated that vision."
That brave new world Trotsky envisioned would end in cruel realities for both the prophet and his revolution.
But in the meantime, his first order of business was to berate the prisoners of the camp for not being productive during their imprisonment — a peculiar way to make new friends.
He organized them to clean up the camp, lectured on international politics and encouraged them to learn English while stuck in an English-speaking country. He organized a prisoner strike over conditions in the camp and became a thorn in the side of camp commander Col. Arthur Henry Morris.
"He was a man who when he looked at you seemed to hypnotize you," remembered Capt. F.C. Wightman, a guard at the camp, in records dug up by Cameron.
"He gave us a lot of trouble at the camp, and if he had stayed there any longer … would have made communists of all the German prisoners."
So Morris, an old-school British officer and veteran of the Boer War, locked Trotsky in the foundry's old blast furnace as a form of solitary confinement.
The now-organized prisoners of the camp responded with a petition that garnered 530 signatures demanding their leader be let out of the furnace.
Meanwhile, far away from Amherst, the world was changing.
The new revolutionary government in Russia sought and obtained Trotsky's release.
It was bittersweet for Morris.
"In his characteristic Anglo-colonial way, (Morris told us) that we were to sail on a Danish boat for Russia," reads Trotsky's memoir.
"The Colonel's purple face twitched convulsively."
Back in Russia, Trotsky would head the negotiations with Germany that saw the Russians stop fighting, much to the frustration of the Allied forces, in the First World War. He would also, for a time, be placed in charge of the Red Army.
But the world continued to change and Trotsky was displaced by Joseph Stalin, who replaced Vladimir Lenin as the Soviet Union's new leader.
"I guess there's a tendency for people like Trotsky to see the possibilities of a much more fine and equal and respectful way of organizing society," said Cameron.
"People like that have a tendency to think others see the world in the same way and not to recognize the inherent venality of all human beings, the spectacular amount in some, the inherent brutality of the power-hungry and ruthlessness that characterizes some human beings."
So his revolution worked in an old foundry in Amherst but not on a world scale.
Whatever his failings, he paid dearly for them.
The son who made him proud by punching the British naval officer was later assassinated on Stalin's orders. Trotsky's other son would be executed and on Aug. 21, 1940, as part of Stalin's cleansing of the old Bolshevik guard, Trotsky himself would be stabbed to death with an ice pick by a KGB agent in 1940 in Mexico.
"To me, he was a tragic and flawed figure but a phenomenal human being," said Cameron.

Susan is a proud new member of WPSE (Women Painters of the South East). Her painting, Hydrangeas, pictured here, won 1st place in the WPSE 2015 exhibit. Hydrangeas also took the first place award in the North Carolina State fair in 2014.
"When I looked at this painting, I felt that I could walk right into this scene and pick one of the beautiful hydrangeas. The perspective of looking slightly down on them gave the painting a trompe l'oeile effect as well as an unusual and original composition. There was lovely, masterful work in the rendering of the flowers, lost and found edges, a nice place in the foreground for the eye to rest and incredible light. A beautiful painting in a beautiful frame made a perfect presentation."
Judges comments...
Camille Day
I found it hard to believe that I had never heard of Susan Brabeau before last month—an artist of this notoriety and caliber living in the Triangle, and completely unknown to me? My loss. For Susan is truly a talent of some measure. Her oil paintings are reminiscent of Norman Rockwell, what she refers to as "Americana style."

I have used these bears before and they are great quality and very soft. Kids love stuffing them!
Posted by Unknown on 14th Feb 2017
Ordered a variety of animals for my 6 year old's birthday party and the kids had a ball -- I got several emails from parents talking about how much they love their animals and what an amazing party it was! Stuffing was fun -- we used the idea on this site to make different stuffing "traits" and the kids loved it. One thing -- the holes are small and it definitely takes a good amount of time to stuff. It would have been very difficult if I was the only "helper". For kids that age I would recommend a 1 helper to three kids to help stuff otherwise they would likely get bored or frustrated given the time it would take. GREAT deal, better than going to the mall, super soft fur and very cute! There are 13 very happy 5 and 6 year olds in my town today!

Great product. Just as described
Easy checkout & delivery
Posted by Unknown on 4th Oct 2016
We ordered them for my daughters Doc McStuffins birthday party. We have not stuffed them yet however they are all adorable. Exactly what I expected. They also came really fast. I'm thinking about going back and ordering shirts to go with them. Super soft and will be a great addition to her party. Will defiantly be ordering again.

When my daughter wanted to have her bday party at Build-a-Bear, we just couldn't see spending that kind of money. We needed an alternative. I could not be more happy with all of the products we ordered. We got bears, rabbits, stuffing, t-shirts and boxes. My correct order came so quickly and the quality of the stuffed animals is GREAT. What a great alternative. Actually, I think it is better than going to build-a-bear. I look forward to getting more stuffed animals to do as a mission project with my girls to take to children entering foster care.

Better than expected!

It was a huge Sunday at the San Diego docks. The first 100-pound tuna caught on a spinning outfit arrived on the American Angler. The Shogun had a catch of yellowtail in the 40-pound range. Vagabond visited Guadalupe Island on a four-day trip and came away with big tuna up to almost 120 pounds. The Red Rooster III produced some big fish from Alijos Rocks, including a 72-pound wahoo caught by a little gal from Florida on mono and a 6X Jr. jig, and the fourth-largest yellowtail ever, an 84-pounder! Heres how it all came about
The fourth-biggest yellowtail ever came on the Red Rooster III, to Don Lyon of Pinon Hills.
100-Pound Spinner Tuna
Sam Patella and Brian Kiyohara took their 27 fishermen on the American Angler to Guadalupe on the James Hardware charter, unusual in itself in that four gentlemen named David Samarin were aboard. Thats right, four of em, pictured together at Pt. Loma Sportfishing on August 27.
Four anglers; one name--David Samarin.
It was the David Samarin of La Habra Heights who won first place for a 109.5-pound yellowfin he caught on an Accurate spinning reel, a 30, and a Calstar 700 XH spinning rod. To the best of this reporters knowledge, it was the first such tuna ever brought in to San Diego caught on a sport boat with spinning gear.
The pickup was slow, said Samarin, but he spun off a lot of line against 25 or 30 pounds of drag. The reel was super smooth; it didnt stick at all.
I got five yellowfin on the outfit, and my dad got three, he continued. One advantage it has is casting a little farther than a conventional rig. I get another 20 feet with the Accurate 30. I got a 67-pounder in 15 minutes.
Big 'Un: This tuna appears to be the best ever taken on spinning gear, on the new Accurate 30 reel.
The big tuna took 40 minutes, said Samarin, who said it bit on a sardine and an Eagle Claw 2/0 hook. He used 45-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon leader, 40-pound P-Line and 80-pound Spectra backing on the reel.
Gary Samarin won second place, for a 104.5-pound tuna, and Gabe Berekoff of Silverton was third, for an 80-pounder.
American Angler jackpot winners took some nice yellowfin tuna at Guadalupe.
The average weight of out tuna was 63 pounds, remarked skipper Patella, and the white sharks werent too bad.
Shogun Pops Em
Norm Kagawa docked his Shogun at Fishermans Landing August 27 after a six-day trip with 29 anglers that visited Guadalupe Island. There were a couple of large though ineligible tuna. Bill McBain of Mt. Shasta got a 109.8-pounder on the kite, and Laurence Lucas of Canal Fulton, OH found a 117-pounder, for which he needed a bit of help.
Bill McBain got his Shogun tuna on the kite, so it was ineligible.
Russ Snow of Carlsbad won the Rollo Jackpot for the biggest yellowtail with a 43-pounder he bagged with a sardine on a 3/0 Gamakatsu hook, 30-pound Izorline on a 332 Newell reel and an unknown make of six and a half-foot rod.
The best yellowtail on the Shogun came to Russ Snow.
Jim Fujitani of Roseville won first place for a 91.6-pound tuna. He took me around the boat one and a half times, said Fujitani, who said he fought the beast for 45 minutes. I couldnt move him the last 20 yards for about ten minutes.
Jim fished a sardine on a 5/0 Eagle Claw hook, with 40-pound blue Izorline on a Penn 4/0 reel and a Seeker 6465 Black Steel rod.
Jim Fujitani bagged this big tuna after it stalled him 20 yards away.
Fred Meyers of McKinleyville was second, for an 83-pounder, and Carl Antonovich of Palos Verdes won third place for a 70.5-pound yellowfin tuna.
Alijos Rocks Victory
The fourth-largest yellowtail ever caught by a San Diego sportboat arrived on the Red Rooster III with skipper Andy Cates August 27, after a seven-day trip to Alijos and Cedros Island.
We spent three days at the Rocks, said Cates, on the Jeff Johnson trip. We got a good catch of tuna and yellowtail, and 55 wahoo. The water was 75 degrees, and we had nice weather; no problems from the storm that passed.
The giant yellowtail was caught by Don Lyon of Pinon Hills, and it weighed 84.4 pounds on the certified scales at H&M Landing.
Bigger Than Big--Don Lyon and Andy Cates display a true giant yellowtail of 84.4 pounds.
He came off the bottom, said Lyon, where we fished in 24 fathoms. After he came up about 50 feet he started pulling really hard. He made three or four runs. About 20 minutes later, I got him to the boat.
Don said he fished a scad mackerel on a big Mustad 9/0 hook. Ive had a box of em for about five years, he remarked. I got em to fish big tuna. This was the first time I needed one.
Don Lyon can be proud of his giant yellowtail from Alijos Rocks. It ate a scad.
Lyon used 80-pound blue Izorline in his dropper loop rig with a 10-ounce sinker, and a 6/0 Penn reel and a Daiwa five and a half-foot rod. He posed for numerous photos, including the jackpot lineup, where he was fourth, by four ounces.
Tene Sablo of Boynton Beach, FL took a 72-pound wahoo on mono, with a Salas 6X Jr. jig in the ubiquitous scrambled eggs tone.
Tene Sabalo's whopper 'skin glommed a 6X Jr. jig on mono.
J. R. Baxter of Albuquerque, NM won first place for a 103.5-pound tuna. He said he got it with a sardine on a 4/0 Super Mutu hook, 50-pound clear Izorline on a Penn 30 reel and a Calstar six and a half-foot rod, after a 45-minute fight. A great day of fishing, he said.
Red Rooster III winners had some dandy tuna--and the big yellow.
Mike Portman of Santa Maria was second, for an 88.7-pounder, and Coach Cliff Clark of Union City was third, for an 84.8-pound yellowfin tuna.
Vag Snags Em
Mike Lackey docked his Vagabond at Point Loma Sportfishing August 27 after a four-day trip with 25 anglers. He also found good fishing at the big island.
Mike Jones of San Clemente won first place, for a 97-pound yellowfin that beat him up for 45 minutes. He said it bit a sardine on an Eagle Claw 4/0 hook and 40-pound P-Line. He used a Penn 4/0 reel and a seven-foot Calstar rod, an older model.
Vagabond jackpot winners had a good time at Guadalupe Island for two days.
Dave Roberts of Corte Madera won second place for an 84-pounder, and Jack Bair of Huntington Beach won third place for a 70.4-pound yellowfin tuna.
