Pastel Slug Tribe

I like your slugs! In my youth, I used to knit a lot (never clothes) and often made up patterns for unlikely things to knit. One of these was a slug, which made people think me quite mad -not least because knitting itself was not even popular then. I never guessed that 30 years later slug knitting would be considered desireable or that there would be so many young knitters! Kindred kniitters at last!

My shop is a two car garage that I am slowly converting to a full time shop. The built in closets were already in place when I moved in; these serve as my hand tool cabinets. I hope to eventually heat and cool the shop but there are many home projects that need to come before that luxury. My floor power tools were all purchased used over the past several years. I just picked up the jointer but have not used it yet. I still reach for hand tools the majority of the time.
The cup holder was from an unfortunate lesson. It was a hot day and I had a bottle of coke on the work bench. I apparently set my jack plane down on a drop of condensation leaving a rust spot on the bottom. From the scrap pile came a cup holder; no more drinks on the bench!

#054 In which our hero is petty (but not really).
It's petty. And the thing is, I know it's petty. Hell, I even started the conversation by saying "Now, this is petty, but..."
But, it's not really petty at all.
I had my one year review, and, as expected, I was not given a raise. My boss told me (as he did six months ago) that he wanted to give me a raise, but it was denied by upper management. In the course of this review, my boss wanted to "just chat" and discuss how I'm doin', if I'm enjoying my time here, blah, blah, blah. The thing is, my boss and I don't "chat." Ever. Frankly, I don't really like the guy, and have very little that isn't work related to speak to him about. In an effort to "connect" I once went into his office, sat down, and tried to strike up a casual conversation. As the awkward pauses became longer, I realized that it was a big mistake and bailed.
But, for purposes of customary protocol we sat and talked. He praised me for some things and criticized me for others. Being that I hold little to no respect for the man, l half-heartedly listened, all the while the voice in my head saying "whataboutthemoneywhataboutthemoney-." However, his criticism became a little too personal for my tastes (or possibly, hit too close to home) and I felt inclined to respond in kind. He had, after all, asked for my honest opinion. Which is something you really shouldn't do unless you're sure you want it. Really sure.
So I elaborated on his notion that we had never really "connected" with an example of why I thought that was.
A petty example.
He, an account executive and I drove down to Akron once months ago to check out the retail store of a client. The account executive, whom I will refer to as "the asshole" because he is a colossal asshole, drove. The three of us walked out to his car together. My boss got hung up for a moment checking something before it printed or whatever, so the asshole got in his car, then I got in his car. And since I'm not twelve, I got in the front seat.
My boss wouldn't have it. "Oh no," he said. "Get in the back. I'm sitting in the front seat." I said no, if you wanted to sit in the front seat you shouldn't have been screwing around. First come, first served. "No, Craig, I'm serious as a heart attack. Get in the back."
Well, I didn't make a big stink about it then, mostly because I had only been there six months or so. So I got in the back seat. But it ate at me.
Petty? Maybe... but the real issue isn't that I had to sit in the back (which, really, I could care less) but that he ordered me out of the front seat like I was his teenaged son. This guy is maybe two, three years older than me. Being that we're all adults and co-workers, I thought it showed a distinctive lack of respect for me.
And I told him so. My boss was unphased. He told me that since he was my boss, he gets to sit up front. Simple as that.
ME: So let me get this right. You're saying that because you're my boss, that gives you the right to decide where we sit in the car?"And I got up to leave. He saw that I still had something on my mind, and had me come back and sit down. Even as I write this, I'm amazed at the arrogance that makes him think that our rank within the company gets him to mandate everything, up to and including positions in a car. I wasn't happy about it, and, since he was asking me to be honest, told him so.
HIM: Absolutely!
ME: Okay, I see we're done speaking.
HIM: Look, like it or not, I'm your supervisor, that's just the way it is.An aside: it's things like this that make my wife worry that I'll get fired. I won't... it's hard to explain the advertising community sometimes. Crap like this is said, then forgotten. Sometimes it's more like working in a truckstop than an office.
ME: Hey, I'm not debating that, obviously you're the boss. I have no problem with that. But you think that allows you to order me into the back seat?
HIM: Yes it does.
ME: That's fucking bullshit!
But, like I said in the beginning, this is a petty example. But it does demonstrate my boss's attitude toward me. I told him I didn't like his attitude, and that while I was trying to work with him, it was clear that in his mind I could only work for him.
But, the conversation rebounded and ended on lighter topics, and he even said that he thought it had been "constructive," and thought it was promising that we could air our grievances.
Little does he know that I totally spit in his coffee while his back was turned.

Vanessa Reed, CEO, PRS Foundation, commented: "We're delighted to be supporting over 25 artists to take their first steps into the US market by performing at SXSW and the iconic British Music Embassy. Overseas showcasing is a crucial step in any independent musicians' career – 89 per cent of those we supported to perform overseas through our International Showcase Fund gained tangible business outcomes.
"It's also an important contributor to UK music exports – for every £1 of support, artists embarking on an international career generated an additional £8.90 in revenues.

Hey pallies, likes we are back once 'gain for more touchin' 'n tender thoughts on the reunion of our most beloved Dino and is most beloved partner Mr. Jerry Lewis durin' the Labor Day MDA Telethon on September 5, 1976. As we have shared in prior recent posts, it seems that this year bein' the 40th anniversary of this most wonderful event has literally brought a plentiful plethora of posts accentin' one, if not the most, heartwarmin' events in all of Dino-history.
Likes today we share a personal reflection scribed by a blogger who tags themselves "citizen john q public" at the "Go Do Good" section of "CHICAGO NOW." We digs it the mostest that this everyday pallie has chosen to wonderfully write their personal awesome appreciation of this monumental moment in the life, times, and teachin's of our one and only Dino. Most often the scribin's that we end up sharin' are from professional pallies who are makin' a livin' writin'...and that is all for the good dudes, but it makes it evermore extra special when an average Joe or Jolene use their talents in rememberin' our most beloved Dino.
Anyway, we also thinks it is the coolest the tag that "citizen john q public" as used for these reverent reflections....."Blessed are peace makers with Blue Eyes!"......puttin' Mr. Frank Sinatra's extraordinary efforts into the potent perspective of bein' a "peace maker" which is exactly what he set out to do and did! That this wonderful writer has their own personal history with workin' on MDA telethons makes the reflections even more deeply delightful.
We sez our thanks to the pallies at "CHICAGO NOW" and 'specially "john q public" for hugely homagin' our most beloved Dino and his pallie of pallies Mr. Jerry Lewis on this awesome anniversary of this most marvelous moment in all of Dino-history. Likes to checks this out in it's original source, simply clicks on the tag of this here Dino-gram.
We remain,
Yours in Dino,
Dino Martin Peters
Blessed are peace makers with Blue Eyes!
By citizen john q public,
I have fond memories of the Labor Day Weekend for a number of reasons. My daughter Gina was born late in the day on Sunday, Sept. 4th, the day before the 1983 LD holiday. She was a healthy, big (9.4 lbs) baby. The weekend was also significant for my work as a camera operator/director for a number of Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) telethons broadcast over a local Rockford CBS affiliate. The network programming originated from Las Vegas hosted by comedian Jerry Lewis with Ed McMahon as a side-kick which Johnny Carson approved since Ed had an exclusive contract with the Tonight Show.
For those that don't remember what an MDA telethon was all about, Jerry Lewis would joke, mug, cajole, weep, and play ringmaster to a horde of celebrities as he appealed to viewers to dig deep and donate to the research effort to battle the disease. For 20-plus hours that started the Sunday before Labor Day Monday and carried through till the sign-off on the evening of the holiday, it was non-stop entertainment with a tote board that would reveal the millions being pledged by Americans. It was also a time when the average citizen could come to the station and get on TV with contributions collected at a workplace or by family, club or church. Jerry Lewis would always conclude by singing "You'll Never Walk Alone," which was a tearjerker for me and many viewers.
One of the most memorable TV moments of an MDA Telethon featured the one and only Frank Sinatra. Sinatra had a long history with Jerry Lewis and his entertainment partner on stage and screen, Dean Martin. Martin & Lewis were huge as an act before live audiences. Jerry was the clown to Martin's straight man - an act that commanded "mucho dinero dollares." On the tenth anniversary of the Martin/Lewis partnership, Dean decided to bale and many critics figured Jerry wouldn't make it without his colleague. Both men did just fine and had very fruitful careers. However, the decision to part company ended their friendship and neither spoke to one another. That changed on stage on Sept. 6, 1976 when Frank brought out "one of his friends," to pay homage to Jerry for his good work on behalf of MDA. The friend was Dean and both men hugged and then commenced an awkward conversation that was the beginning to peace and a friendship that never faltered the rest of their lives. Jerry Lewis eulogized Dean Martin as one of the kindest souls he had the pleasure to know.
God bless the peacemakers - including Old Blue Eyes for bringing two friends back together.

The main symptoms of Parkinson's disease are shaking (tremors), slow movements and stiffness.

School Direct institutions may offer School Direct 'training' places to suit graduates who may be eligible for training bursary of up to £30,000. School Direct 'salaried' places to suit graduates with at least three years' work experience. You'll be employed by the school and earn a salary as you train. Provider-led training The University selects the two schools in which you complete your school experience. We work in a range of schools, academies and teaching school alliances to ensure you are able to put theory into practice in high-quality, supportive settings. You may be eligible for a training bursary of up to £30,000 depending on your honours degree and the PGCE you select. Entry requirements All candidates must have at least GCSE grade 4 or C (or equivalent) in mathematics, English language and science. Most candidates who are interviewed, have, or are expected to achieve, a 2:1 or above in their bachelor (honours) degree and have elements within their studies which are relevant to the primary curriculum. We also look for evidence of wide subject knowledge, a good reference and a strong commitment to primary education. Acceptance to the course requires a criminal convictions self-disclosure, followed by a satisfactory enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure (formally known as CRB). It also requires a medical check. Professional Skills Tests All students must pass the Professional Skills Tests in Literacy and Numeracy before beginning the course. These tests cover the core skills that teachers need to fulfil their professional role in schools, rather than the subject knowledge required for teaching. They do not replace the GCSE grade C (or equivalent) entry requirements in English language and mathematics. The tests are set in the context of the professional role of a teacher and the questions use real data and information that teachers are likely to encounter. They are computerised and can be taken at approximately 150 test centres throughout the UK. For more information visit the Department for Education website

Local photographer Paul deBerjeois' alias, Color Bandit, is in reality less menacing and more practical than it sounds.
"If you look at the spelling of my last name, you would see that it would be very difficult for someone to see that and memorize it and then find it on the Internet," says deBerjeois, adding that he decided to look for an unused Internet URL that related to his photography.
"Color Bandit" indeed reflects the vibrant hues he captures with his camera and with 30 years of experience. While he shoots exclusively digital, he says the only "enhancing" he does on the computer is to convert certain images to a black-and-white scale.
"I don't even own Photoshop," he says. "But there are things that you can do with lenses and perspective that will twist and distort reality."
He points out the nighttime spotlight on Kissing Camels at Garden of the Gods as an example of "light painting," or using artificial light to selectively illuminate a certain part of the scene: "That's not natural, but that's not done with the computer, either."
DeBerjeois' modus operandi calls for occasional midnight missions and knowledge of the lunar clock. Using the light of the full moon, he employs long exposures that "bring out all of the colors in the features ... and it looks like it's bright enough to be daytime." But, he says, there are some clues in the skies if you look closely. (Visit colorbandit.com for a look.)
Having left the corporate world in 2008 to pursue photography full-time, deBerjeois now contributes work to local TV newscasts and is the official photographer for the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce.
Colorado Classics, which opens at the Warehouse Restaurant and Gallery on Thursday includes Colorado landscapes, Victorian architecture, a sun halo and aspens in full flame.

|What better way to start than a selfie and introduction? HI, my name is Liz!
I don't know how to start this. I've started a fitness/health post several times over the past three months, and every time I've ended up deleting what I've written. I'd worry this post was too braggy, or that post was too rambly. I was concerned about offending someone with the way I might phrase something. In the end, though, Deb phrased it quite nicely: my opinions are *my opinions* and I should be able to natter them on *my blog,* right? It's still a concern, though. I guess I've read too many horror stories about Feminazis and Tumblrites (I apologize if you enjoy Tumblr. I've seen nothing good from it) attacking people for 'oppressing' them or other equally ridiculous notions. I was talking with Michael about my fears and he summed it up quite nicely for me. "Stop caring about what others think." Besides, it's not like I'm setting out to offend anybody. I've been asked to post about this, and more importantly, I've been wanting to.
So. Here we go. I shall just let the words flow, maybe try and tidy them up a bit, but this will just be an introduction to my health and fitness progress over the past few months. This post will be very long, hard to understand, and very ramble-y. Let me say this again. This post will be very long, hard to understand, and extremely ramble-y.
*beep breath, channeling Sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender*
Let me start at the beginning. Katara and I discovered Aang frozen in an iceberg, now I didn't like Aang at first but grew to love him over time, then we went to the Southern Air Temple where Aang used to live and then we met Suki...
I do not apologize. I saw an opening and I took it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, disregard that previous paragraph. Anyways, back on track.
Four months ago, I was dealing with a huge change in my life. I had left my job to move half way across country to reunite with Michael. It was a big change. We'd spent the past 9 months of our lives living apart while he did his military training thing and I continued with schooling and work. In any case, I was really feeling lethargic and, to be frank, fat. That's the only description I have for how I felt physically. I felt my stomach bunch when I sat down. I felt winded going up the single flight of stairs that led to our apartment. My heart would start racing for no apparent reason. I wasn't sure what caused it, but I knew it wasn't good. I tied it to what I knew was my declining health. I phrase it in a dramatic way, but that's really the best way to put it. I wasn't fat by any means, but I could no longer call myself fit or skinny/thin.
Eventually our possessions arrived and, eventually, I unpacked our scale. Out of curiosity I stepped on it and found to my horror that I'd gained 10 pounds in the month since Michael and I had been reunited. The funny thing is we've found out that our scale is inaccurate and has been for a while. It was probably broken during the move. So weight I thought I'd gained was, in fact, weight lost. I can tell you the weight the scale tells me I am, but it wouldn't be accurate. I'm wary of posting it until I know something more accurate. Eventually we'll buy a working scale, but none of us think it's important or healthy to have one in the apartment. Whether I'd like to admit it or not, I place more value on the numbers I see there than I should.
In any case, I started really paying attention to my body and found that I wasn't happy with how it had gotten. I was no longer toned. I didn't feel comfortable wearing the same clothes I used to wear. I used that more than anything else as a motivator. So Michael and I resolved to work out at least every other day.
My initial workouts were nothing out of the ordinary. They weren't even hard. I would run 1 mile on the treadmill, then stretch, then hop back on and do interval training. Modified interval training. I'd like to say I switched between running and sprinting. In reality I switched between walking (3.5-4.0 mph on the treadmill) and running (anywhere between 7.0 and 8.5), one minute to each speed. When all was said and done, I'd average between 2 and 3.5 miles for my workout, including my warmup. On off days I would do some minor weight lifting with some dumbbells we owned (skullcrushers, squats, lunges, v-ups). It was by no means a workout. If I saw the weight and could do it while, say, playing a video game or watching a YouTube video, I'd do it.
We kept that up for about a month. In February when we went to Keys West I wore some bad shoes and really messed up my feet. I would experience sharp pains in the arches of my feet whenever I walked on my feet, and even as they healed I couldn't pivot on my feet or I would anger the soles of my feet. It was a month before my feet completely healed and Michael and I started working out again.
This time I stuck to the same workout, only I completely cut out the warmup mile and my sprints were faster (8.0 or higher). I'd stretch before the run and just go until I hit 20 or 25 minutes, whichever I could mentally push myself to. I would hit maybe 2 miles total.
That lasted for a week or two before Michael was put on profile for a hip injury and he was no longer allowed to workout. Fortunately a friend had decided that she wanted to start using the clubhouse facilities and we resolved to meet up as our hubbies set off for work, at 7:45 AM.
This time my running was more 'run as long as you can at 7.5, then switch to intervals.' I would make it to about 10 minutes, or a little over a mile, then switch to intervals until I'd hit 3 miles. I'm happy to say that this period of working out had 3 miles as my absolute minimum. I was more likely to hit 3.5-4 miles per run, averaging at about 9 minutes a mile overall (and I was still doing my walk-sprint intervals).
Unfortunately, that only lasted about two and a half weeks. This puts me at about mid-April.
Over the course of my attempts to improve my stamina and keep up with cardio workouts, I've continued to add in more and more weights to my everyday routines, as well as clean up my eating. Michael and I make a point to either not buy or buy very little microwaveables. The meat we eat is confined mostly to ground turkey, tuna, salmon, or chicken. We add in lots of veggies to our foods and pay more attention to the butter or oil we cook our food with. Really we were just getting back to the sort of eating I'd grown up with alongside my parents. It wasn't that hard. The hard part was making sure I actually ate. One of the most important things I learned from my Dad while he was in school for Kinesiology is never starve yourself, intentionally or not. I've never been a breakfast person, but I can say the time where I've seen the biggest changes in my body were after I started making myself eat breakfast every morning. Now I'll have 5 or 6 smaller meals throughout my day, and I'm still seeing a difference in the mirror from last week.
Michael and I don't run anymore, since he's still on profile, but we will still go out on hikes or go disc golfing or just go out and stay active. I guess this post isn't about working out or eating right, it's more just chronicling how I've slowly made changes to a more healthy lifestyle. I still do very very bad things (just last night I made a meal of some raw cookie dough. no ragrets). but I hope the inspiration in this post is that I was imperfect. I am imperfect. I still continue to do bad things and I have yet to stick to any one thing consistently, but the overall effect has been astounding. Are you ready for some hard numbers???! Because I hate following someone's lifestyle posts and not seeing hard numbers. Also, I know some people lie about consistently getting 'better' numbers. It ain't happening, and it most certainly didn't happen with me.
I happened to take periodic measurements of my bust, neck, waist, hips, and butt over the past three months. I'll share my initial and today's results with you because 1. I want to put out there my overall improvements and 2. I feel like it makes me more believable... and human :) If you want more, just tell me. I'm really willing to share, I just feel like it might be too much info all at once. Like this entire post LOL. If I don't get everything out now, though, I'll keep psyching myself out of ever posting this.
I am 22 years old. I am 5'7". My weight for most of 2014 was somewhere between 135-145lbs.
Weight (keep in mind this is with a faulty scale. From what we can tell it's between 10 and 15 lbs over.)
February 4: ~150 lb.
Today: ~155 lb.
February 4: 35.5 in
Today: 34.25 in
February 4: 14 in
Today: 13 in
February 4: 30 in
Today: 29 in
February 4: 37 in
Today: 35.5 in
February 4: 43.5 in (I have a, as they call it, ba-donk-a-donk LOL)
Today: 41.75 in
Body Fat Percentage (as calculated by this Army body fat calculator. Keep in mind it's not entirely accurate, but it's nice to get a general idea of where you're at)
February 4: 25%
Today: 23%
What's that? I've gained weight? Why yes, I have. Let me say this: muscle is heavier than fat. In case you didn't understand me: muscle weighs more than fat. Need another rephrasing? You can still get 'thinner' and gain weight. This is due to muscle replacing the fat. Which the muscle is more heavy than. I've been working out my muscles with both weights and running. They were bound to get bigger, and thus, gain weight.
If you're like me and not what the medical field would qualify as overweight (by weight/age I'm actually considered at the high end of normal), it is very possible to gain weight when you go through the health changes I have and yet still end up 'thinner' than when you started. I knew this going into this change, which is why I made a point to take measurements. That, more than anything, would tell me how exactly my body has been changing.
If you are looking at making any sort of change in your lifestyle to be more healthy, I highly encourage you to take the time to take measurements from your body and document that instead of your weight. Obsessing over weight will not help you. That's not the most important number you should look at. I could go on and on about this, but I won't.
Anyways, this is my huge and rambly post. If you have any questions ask and I'd be happy to answer. I just needed to force myself to wordpuke this entire story out so I can now contemplate whether I'm going to make this a more consistent post topic as opposed to whether I'm even going to breach the subject.

20 March (Part 2) - The Lesnes Abbey update
The Lesnes Abbey project continues to give the impression that no one is in a
hurry. One of the new ornate gates began to make an appearance last Tuesday, it
has not advanced since. Nevertheless there has been progress, in particular
a start has been made on the soil and moss roof of the Visitor Centre. It will
probably all look very good when everything is completed. One of the staff on
site said this week that that would be by the end of May. It seems to be an
optimistic forecast, they not only have to finish the job but also restore the
damage, which is quite widespread.

If you have a substantial amount of IT equipment that is at your facility, you will be able to find a company that can help you very quickly. These are businesses that are capable of providing you with the pickup and disposal of any type of information technology equipment. Most of this should not be simply buried in the ground. Much of it can be broken down into component parts. There is going to be a substantial amount of plastic, metal, and many other components that are going to be part of these products. Once you have found a company that can help you with disposing of your IT equipment, you will want to use them for everything that you are saving. Get in touch with gigacycle.co.uk business that will be more than happy to give you this type of service.
How Long Will It Take To Find This Company?
It's not going to take very long at all to find this business. You should find them within a few minutes. There will be many in larger cities, and a few of them will be able to come out to your location. Others will require you to go to their facility. They will have a specific area where you can place this electronic equipment that needs to be disposed of and broken down. They actually make money from the components that are recycled, and this is one of the primary motivators for them to offer this type of service.
What Type Of IT Equipment Will They Take?
The equipment that they will take will be virtually anything. This could be laptops, PCs, printers, and many other products. They will be able to take you what type of products they are able to take over the phone, and then you can bring everything by. If this is a business that does offer to pick up everything for you, this is going to save you a lot of time. They will tell you what to set aside on the phone, or by email, and then pick it up for you in the next few days.
Finding a place to recycle your old computer equipment is not that difficult. You should be able to locate these companies in the local phone directory or online. Once you have this information, you can then evaluate each company. You may even be able to see if they will take other items. As long as it is related to electronics, they probably will. However, you are going to have to ask. In most cases, IT disposal companies are just looking for systems that are specifically designed for information technology.

This dissertation aims to improve tropical cyclone (TC) intensity forecasts by exploring the connection between intensity forecast error and parameters representing initial condition uncertainty, atmospheric flow stability, TC strength, and the large-scale environment surrounding a TC. After assessing which of these parameters have robust relationships with error, a set of predictors are selected to develop a priori estimates of intensity forecast accuracy for Atlantic basin TCs. The applications of these forecasts are then discussed, including a multimodel ensemble that unequally weights different intensity models according to the situation. The ultimate goal is to produce skillful forecasts of TC intensity error and use their output to enhance intensity forecasts.

What if the sharpener is blunt?
In fact very simple, as long as the pencil tip wrapped in a layer of fine sandpaper, and then put into a pencil sharpener relay a few laps, the blade will be sharpened, the use of electric pencil sharpener, do not reach to touch the sharp blade, lest cut the finger.
Can the pencil sharpener be sharpened?
No grinding, the pencil sharpener inside is made of machine, there is no suitable tool for grinding such knives, generally larger stationery stores can be matched to the corresponding sharpener knife, you can be equipped with knives, so in order to achieve the best results, or to go with a or to buy a new pencil.

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard yesterday promised generous tax cuts and payments to compensate households for the impact of a new carbon tax as she steps up efforts to win public support for an increasingly unpopular policy.
Gillard has staked her troubled leadership on introducing a carbon price, but a new poll yesterday found most voters no longer regard tackling climate change as a major goal.
The prime minister said 90 percent of Australian households would receive tax cuts to compensate for the impact of the carbon tax, while 3 million low income households would be better off, with compensation payments to be 20 percent higher than any carbon price impacts.
"That is 7 million Australian households getting a tax cut or payment increase," Gillard said. "People believe climate change is real. They want us to do something effective. The most effective thing we can do is put a price on the big polluters, get them to pay and they will work out how to reduce their carbon pollution."
The government, Greens and independent lawmakers are working on final details of the carbon tax, with the carbon price and levels of compensation for industry and householders to be announced within weeks.
The Lowy Institute for International Policy poll found that for the first time in seven years there was no longer majority support for action on climate change.
Only 46 percent of Australia's believe fighting climate change is a very important foreign policy goal — down 29 points from 2007 when the Labor government was first swept to power on an environmental platform.
Gillard is struggling to gain political support for her carbon price scheme, to come into force from the middle of next year, and is banking on it and a new mining tax to turn around her poor standing with voters before elections by 2013.
Her minority government, dependent on a handful of Green and independent members of parliament, would be thrown from office if an early election was called, according to opinion polls.
The fall in support for tackling climate change in Australia coincides with the failure of global talks on climate change.
Australians said protecting jobs was their top policy priority, which is interesting as the country enjoys virtually full employment.

WHEN HUMANS, CHIMPS WERE KISSIN' COUSINS / Genetic analysis shakes up ideas on when, how the two species diverged
The story of human evolution that began when the earliest ancestors of humans and chimpanzees first separated from their common ancestor has taken a new turn with a claim that the epochal event may well have occurred millions of years more recently than the fossil record has long maintained.
On top of that, the split of the two lineages was probably far more complex than anyone had thought -- with some of the earliest members of both lines interbreeding again and again before the two species finally separated permanently, according to scientists analyzing the genes of both modern chimps and modern humans.
If that controversial claim turns out to be true, the famed fossil skull of the creature nicknamed Toumai -- and dated at roughly 7 million years old -- may have lived long before the final chimp-human split occurred, say researchers at the Broad Institute, a collaborative venture linking the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard.
Toumai (Sahelanthropus tchadensis), discovered five years ago in the desert of Chad by French anthropologists, has until now been considered the earliest known hominid representative in the human lineages that split from a common ancestor of humans and chimps.
But by analyzing the genes of modern humans and chimps and other primates, the MIT and Harvard researchers say, the true split between the ancestral ape and human lineages could have begun much later -- probably much less than 5.4 million years ago and surely no more than 6.3 million years ago -- than previous estimates based on the fossil record.
The new estimate for the earliest beginnings of human evolution was published online Wednesday in the journal Nature by a group led by David Reich, a geneticist at the Broad Institute, in Cambridge, Mass. The group includes famed geneticist Eric Lander, a leader of the Human Genome Project and the Broad Institute's director.
The scientists analyzed the genes in the X chromosomes of humans, chimps, gorillas, orangutan and macaques -- the chromosomes carried by the male and female lines of those animals. They noted that creatures like Toumai, which displayed both human and chimp features and has been set at between 6.5 million and 7.4 million years old, could well have come from a species whose members were interbreeding before the final separation between the lineages of human and chimp species occurred.
"The study gave unexpected results about how we separated from our closest relatives, the chimpanzees," Reich said in a statement. "We found that the population structure that existed around the time of human-chimpanzee speciation was unlike any modern ape population. Something very unusual happened at the time of speciation."
The unusual happening was that once the two species began separating from their common ancestors, they might well have been repeatedly interbreeding with each other -- at times producing sterile offspring but sometimes producing offspring that remained fertile and, in turn, created a short-lived mixed lineage -- a kind of dead-end tribe combining both pre-human and pre-chimp genes.
It was one of those interbred hybrid groups that ultimately began the human lineage, according to the Broad Institute group.
"It's a fascinating tale of ancient shenanigans," said David Haussler, a leading geneticist at UC Santa Cruz in an e-mail message. "I continue to be amazed at what DNA analysis can reveal."
Edward M. Rubin, director of the Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute and chief of genetics at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, was equally intrigued.
Rubin, who has been interested in determining the genetic relationship between Neanderthals and modern humans, called work of the Reich team "complicated, but plausible."
"Until now our view of human evolution has largely come from the fossil record which is still incomplete," he said. "This is very provocative because it provides a new window into a time when hominids separated from the common ancestor of chimpanzees. It's the beginning of a new wave of work that will bring us new insights into our view of how species separate."
Rubin noted that the Broad Institute team worked with only 20 million base pairs of genes in their genetic analysis of the X chromosomes of humans and the other primates, while some 3 billion base pairs are available in the human genome alone. Even firmer conclusions will come, he said, when the entire genome of the gorilla has been determined, as this will provide evidence for the far more ancient time when the gorilla and chimp lineages separated.
At the Broad Institute, Nick Patterson, a statistical geneticist, noted that "if the (fossil) dating is correct, the Toumai fossil would precede the human-chimp split. The fact that it has human-chimp features suggests that human-chimp speciation may have occurred over a long period of time with episodes of hybridization between the emerging species."
