We have such a great community where we live, neighbours that you can literally call on for some sugar (or the modern day scenario use their wifi when your's stopped working 5 mins before a live hangout). Most of us seem to have kiddos roughly the same age too so during the summer it's been lovely to share a cup of tea chatting over a garden gate whilst the littles play in the street.
On Sunday we headed out to stretch our legs at our local city farm and seeing one of our neighbours needed to get some errands done picked up a little addition to the party.
Click below to read on!
Don't they look like they could be related?? They have the same baby faced cuteness!
Wilf's little buddy Stella took his hand and they walked around the farm like that for most of our trip.
Wilf may not have been as keen about being fed his raisins..
I had a teeeeeeny tiny glimpse of what having two kiddos might be like (I see all you parents of more than one eye rolling right now). Of course I saw a really really good part, the part where they enjoy each other's company and play together whilst you get take away coffee and watch them from a bench and talk about what DIY projects you might tackle the next day or what we might have for dinner.
I have to say it was very nice playing a family of four ;)
In case you were wondering:
On Wilf:
Jumper - Tootsa Mcginty sale
Coat - TKMaxx
Boots - Joules
Dungarees - H&M
Paddle Pack - c/o Trunki (take 20% off at checkout with code TIGERLILLYPP if you like!)
On me:
T-Shirt - Whistle and Flute
Skirt - Topshop
Brogues - Clarks
Tom's shirt is from TKMaxx and Jeans are from H&M
Stella - not sure but her cute bunny is from Jellycat!
I'm holding a little giveaway over on my Facebook page if you wanna pick up a Paddle Pack like Wilf's. Or just take 20% off one at the store with code TIGERLILLYPP
After the farm we took a detour at Biblos for halloumi wraps and coffee whilst the kiddos hit the play park and raced each other to the slide over and over. It's funny, Wilf used to be a little scared of the slide after flying off the end of one a while back but since playing with Stella he's been fine!
He did make sure she knew that I was his mummy a few times 'Stella my mummy is holding your hand too but she's my mummy OK?

If you own a television, chances are over the past month you've seen at least one commercial showing someone waking up Christmas morning to be surprised with a brand new car. This weekend we want to know if you think this scenario actually plays itself out in real life on a semi-regular basis or if it is mostly just a marketing myth dreamed up by people who work in advertising.
Have you ever heard about, witnessed or experienced the joy of Christmas morning with a new set of wheels in the driveway? Are cars for Christmas something that ever happens outside of the world of the über-wealthy? If so, why do car companies insist on trying to convince the world this is a regular holiday tradition? Do people actually get new cars for Christmas?
By the semi-ranting tone of this Question of the Weekend, you've likely already figured out how I feel about the issue—I think it is an unbelievably rare occurrence. Beyond the fact plunking down the cash for a new car or financing someone's Christmas gift for the next 5 years isn't the most realistic scenario for a lot of people, we imagine finding such a large bow is no small task.
Even after you've figured out a way to pay for and decorate your 4 wheeled Christmas present, getting a car into the driveway or garage undetected on Christmas Eve seems like it would present its own set of logistical challenges. Maybe we are missing out on a world of affluent and crafty gift givers, but the whole scenario seems pretty questionable to us.
What do you think? Are more lucky giftees waking up to new cars Christmas morning than we think or is this mostly an advertising gimmick? Do people actually get new cars for Christmas?

THE THOR SEQUEL might bring one Dark World, but we're here to bring the illumination.
What do we learn after seeing "Thor: The Dark World" — the follow-up that opens today in North American theaters?
Besides realizing that "Phase 2" of the Marvel movies is very promising, we came away 7 Observations About the Second "Thor."
Here they are, entirely free of spoilers, natch:
1. Chris Hemsworth has grown into the superheroic clothes.
Given his work in "Thor" 2, Hemsworth deserves to be given his due. Robert Downey Jr.'s much-praised Iron Man performances might make him the alpha Avenger — as well as the highest paid — but Hemsworth cements his status: He can ably carry his own superhero franchise. .
2. Natalie Portman: Marvel's reigning leading lady.
After it was announced that Patty Jenkins wouldn't helm the Thor sequel — she was ousted from the director's chair for Alan Taylor — Portman's return was rumored to be up in the air. Fortunately for "Thor" fans, Portman returned to shine again as Jane Foster — whether she's being a science whiz, going on an awkward first date or giving Thor a piece of her mind.
3. Hemsworth and Portman are Marvel's top movie couple.
Marvel movies don't always pack the romance. In the "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" trailer, Cap says he has no time to date. The Hulk has emotional issues. And who knows what's going on with Hawkeye and Black Widow? What about Tony Stark and Pepper Potts? No, not even they can top Hemsworth's Thor and Portman's Jane. The two actors capture lightning in a bottle, and are a joy to watch as a couple.
4. Tom Hiddleston is perhaps the most likable guy to ever seek world domination.
Hiddleston returns as Loki, god of mischief, who is paying for his crimes against humanity from his shenanigans in "The Avengers." Despite all that, Loki and Thor give the impression that they both would like to return to the days where they were fun-loving brothers — though both know that Thor can't trust him (something that Thor says frequently and that Loki seems to revel in). Circumstances in "The Dark World" force the two brothers to team up — which is a boon to viewers who can revel in Likable Loki.
5. Director Alan Taylor was a smart choice.
It seemed like a match made in fanboy heaven: Put the fantasy world of Asgard in the hands of someone who's directed "Game of Thrones." Fortunately, it meets expectations. Taylor takes Thor to new heights, though it helps that he wasn't shackled to an origin story to explain the mythos (as Kenneth Branagh was with "Thor'). Here's hoping Taylor returns for the third Thor.
6. Great Odin's beard! There are real laughs.
In superhero films, the action sometimes muscles aside the laughs. Although there's action to spare in "Thor: The Dark World," there are also many funny moments — some of them quite surprising.
7. Double the pleasure.
Marvel movies, of course, deliver a scene after the credits. What you may not know is that there are two after-credit scenes in "The Dark World." Stick around and you'll see some big-time revelations that will connect a lot of dots as to the rest of Marvel's "Phase 2" and beyond.

What do you think of all the new TV stations?
Carlos Pezua: "I don't have TV reception. I have a monitor for DVDs and VHS, but I don't have a TV. I can't imagine I'm missing much."
Christin Long: "I don't watch TV, so I don't really think anything of them."
Duane Gardner: "I don't watch TV. I mostly watch movies and listen to the radio.

Classics Guarantee
These terms
All Rapha Travel trips are provided by Rapha Travel Limited ("we", "our" or "us") and are subject to these terms and conditions. By booking your trip and paying a deposit you confirm that you are over the age of 18 and have read, understood and accept these terms and conditions in their entirety.
Price and payment
We reserve the right to increase or decrease brochure prices at any time. Once you have booked your trip and paid your deposit, the price shown on your booking confirmation is the guaranteed price of your trip unless there has been an obvious and manifest error. All advertised prices are inclusive of VAT. You must pay for your trip in full at least 60 days prior to your departure date. If you fail to pay for your trip in full 60 days prior to your departure date, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and your deposit will be forfeited.
Exchange rates & currency
We establish our exchange rates once in November of each year, we price our trips based on the average rate over a 3-month period. We do not provide a dynamic pricing model for our Travel Trips; thus the price of the trip remains the same throughout the year. Your deposit and final payment will be based on a consistent exchange rate set once in November.
Your currency is based on your browser location; it is not possible for you to switch between different currencies to pay for the 2 steps payment process of your Travel trip. The currency selected for your deposit will remain the same for the balance due; if you make your deposit in GBP, your balance due will be in GBP as well.
Your obligations
You shall: follow the instructions of your Rapha Travel professional guide at all times; ensure that you are of an appropriate level of fitness to participate in your trip; notify us of any medical ailments from which you suffer which may affect your ability to participate in the trip; wear a helmet at all times whilst cycling; not cycle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Insurance: it is a condition of these terms that you have adequate travel insurance. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance fully covers all of your personal requirements including cancellation charges, medical expenses and repatriation in the event of an accident or illness. Your insurance must also cover you for cycling activities and the associated risks as well as your baggage and cycling equipment. If you chose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses arising in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available.
Bike maintenance: Rapha Travel trips may include terrain that you may not be used to cycling on day to day. If you bring your own bike it is your responsibility to ensure it is serviced before your trip and is in a safe and roadworthy condition. We will not be liable for any damage or injury caused as a result of a failure caused by your bike, or its operation. It is your responsibility to bring with you any unique tools, electronic shifting chargers, or special components which may be required for your bike.
If you wish to cancel your trip
Should you wish to cancel your booking, you must give us notice of this by emailing us at email@example.com. Once we receive your cancellation notice we will follow up with an email confirming your cancellation. Your cancellation will take effect from the date that you receive our email confirming your cancellation. In the event that you cancel your trip, the following cancellation charges will apply (the charges are expressed as a percentage of your total trip price):
- more than 60 days prior to departure: your deposit*;
- between 60 and 31 days prior to departure: 50% of the trip fee;
- 30 to 0 days prior to departure: 100% of the trip fee.
*You are entitled to transfer your deposit only if you inform us at least 60 days prior to your departure date. Your deposit will then be transferable for 2 calendar years from your payment date. Please note that the deposits are not refundable and can be transferred to another departure only once.
If you wish to transfer your full balance
If you have paid for your full balance (deposit + single/double occupancy) and notify us more than 60 days prior to departure, you are entitled to transfer your monies to another trip.
You must transfer to another trip departing in the same calendar year and of the same trip type.
Please note there will be an administration fee of £50 (or equivalent) to make this balance transfer.
Our prices are based on double occupancy (two people per room), except Randonnées. If you're traveling solo on any of our trips, we'll assign you a roommate of the same gender. There is no extra charge if we can't find you a roommate. You can guarantee yourself a private room if you pay the Single Room Fee. Occasionally a room with two beds consists of one bed plus a rollaway bed or sofa bed. Call our office to see if this is applicable to the trip and date you select.
Single room:
As an optional extra, a person traveling solo on any trip may reserve a room for his or her exclusive use. This will guarantee you a private room and private bath every night in most locales. Note that in Europe, single rooms are often smaller than double rooms.
Please note that a single room will be only guaranteed upon payment of your balance as it is subject to hotel availability.
Late Arrival/Early Departure
On almost all of our trips it is possible to join us a day or two after we depart or leave a day or two early. If your schedule doesn't mesh with ours, give us a call and see how our in-depth knowledge of the area will make it work for you. However, it is not possible for us to prorate your trip fee based on the time you're on the trip.
Transportation to the Tour
We either offer complimentary airport and hotel transfer service in our van from the nearest major airport and city to the lodge where the trip starts, or we'll send you information on public shuttle buses that do. We will also send you our van schedule for pickup and return, plus driving directions to the tour meeting place. If you are driving to the tour, you may leave your locked car at or near the place where the tour originates for the duration of the trip (at your own liability and risk).
Many people who travel by plane prefer to arrive at the gateway city the day before the tour starts and leave the day after the trip is over. Accordingly, we will furnish you with the name of the recommended hotel or motel that we pick people up from on the first day of the trip, and where we can drop you off at the trip's end.
If you are transporting your bike in a hard case, a £90 handling fee will be applied. This fee is not included in the price of your trip and will have to be paid prior to departure, if applicable.
Bike Hire
It is possible for us to arrange bike hire for you for use on your trip. Such is subject to availability and your specific requirements and may not be able to be arranged unless you give us sufficient notice. Please discuss this with us before you pay the deposit for your trip.
Please note that bike hire is not available on our Cent Cols Challenge, USA, Norway Raids and Japan trips.
Our rights
We reserve the right to cancel or alter your trip at any time prior to your departure date, due to events outside of our control, such as but not limited to: acts of God, flood, drought, earthquake or other natural disaster; epidemic or pandemic; terrorist attack, civil war, civil commotion or riots, war, threat of or preparation for war, armed conflict, imposition of sanctions, embargo, or breaking off of diplomatic relations; nuclear, chemical or biological contamination; or collapse of buildings, fire, explosion or accident, (together "Events Outside Of Our Control"). We also reserve the right to cancel or alter your trip at any time prior to your departure date (at our discretion), although we assure you that we will endeavour to only do this when strictly necessary.
In the event that we cancel your trip
We will provide you with a £200 credit to use on another Rapha trip departing over the proceeding two years. You will also be entitled to: (a) book any other available trip; or (b) receive a full refund of all monies paid. We will not be liable for any flight or insurance costs you have incurred (it is for this reason that we recommend you delay booking flights and arranging insurance until your trip is confirmed). We reserve the right to stop you from participating on your trip if you: behave in an abusive and/or threatening manner; or engage in illegal activities.
Insured Deposit
Rapha Travel Limited are a company committed to customer satisfaction and consumer financial protection. We are therefore pleased to announce that, at no extra cost to you, and in accordance with "The Package Travel, Package Tours Regulations 1992" all passengers booking with Rapha Travel Limited are fully insured for the initial deposit, and subsequently the balance of monies paid as detailed in your booking confirmation form. The policy will also include repatriation if required, arising from the cancellation or curtailment of your travel arrangements due to the insolvency of Rapha Travel Limited.

Without prejudice to the above, our entire financial liability whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise (including any liability for the acts or omissions of our employees, agents, consultants, and subcontractors) to you in respect of any foreseeable breach of these terms and conditions shall be limited to the amount you paid for your trip.

This is probably more of a general network question than a security question. But scince I know there are some competent people here, I´ll ask anyhow
I need a program that can measure the actual bandwidth of a connection. The ones that connect to som generic site on the Internet (lots of web based such around) won´t do the trick.
The thing is I have a pretty large number of DSL connections on my network, and I need to know if the ISP is giving me the bandwidth I´m paying for.
The perfect scenario would be to have a server component on one of the central servers, and a small client on one of the computers at the peripheral DSL sites.
I´ve tried NetStatLive which is available at www.analogx.com. It works great, but it involves manually copying files to one of the computers at the DSL sites to see the actual bandwidth maximum. I could use something more automated.

text: brousseb 10 Posted January 21, 2018 Looks like I can post a new topic now. This is a test of my new Panasonic LX10 and Nauticam housing (no wet lenses). My goal was to test auto WB, custom WB, with and without a red filter, with and without lights to see what the ideal settings were. I adjusted the curves and increased the contrast. I did not adjust saturation. I'm not an expert in colour correction so I'm sure it could have been done better. The 2 ideal settings I found were custom WB (off a white card) with a red filter without lights, and Auto WB with a red filter when lights are used. I couldn't get good results without the red filter and I found that the custom WB with lights give off too much red (as expected). This was over the course of 3 dives (1 of those dives had 5 feet of viz, the other two were 30+). My sole purpose was to test the camera, there was not much sea life and I tried to get a variety of shots. Most were shot in 4k30 with a few clips in 1080 120, exported as 1080. All shots are labelled in the video. Setup: - Panasonic LX10 with Nauticam housing - Mangrove Red Filter on a i-Das flip holder - 2x iTorch Mini 800 lumen lights - Cinelike D profile (-3, -5, -2, -5) - iMove and Davinci Resolve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxpp1xdHJVs&t=176s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew Lewis Gossip
Matthew Lewis gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
Buzzfeed posted a photo on Twitter yesterday that made me hug myself. The Khaleesi and Neville Longbottom! Read Full Intro
Gryffindor house party?
Getty Images
Is that what it woulda been like to go to a house party at Gryffindor? If Hogwarts was university, I TOTALLY think Gryffindor would have had the best parties. Especially if Neville Longbottom took his shirt off. I'm a couple of days late on this because it came out just as the weekend was starting but that doesn't mean the enjoyment won't last. Full Story
Neville spits!
Do you miss hot Neville? I miss hot Neville! @merica1978 tweeted this at me earlier and gave me a hit of hot Neville! It's been SO LONG. Not sure what Neville is promoting. Doesn't matter. All that matters is that he's on the radio and trying not to spit out the water. Full Story
Neville Longbottom & Sansa Stark
Ummmm.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! @angelacrbrown just tweeted this at me. Neville and Sansa are hanging out. Harry Potter + Game Of Thrones!?! It's too much for this fangirl. It's TOO. Full Story
Neville and the gang!
Wenn, Gareth Cattermole/Getty
Look! It's hot Neville with his hair buzzed!Neville, Luna, Ginny, and director David Yates were at the Empire Awards last night. Am assuming that's his gf? Our Neville is hot now. Hot enough for a lady friend. Neville - Matthew Lewis for reals - stars in a new show on BBC called The Syndicate about lottery winners that premiered on BBC. Full Story
Neville & Seth!
An article caught my eye in The Guardian yesterday about the new BBC series that will premiere on March 27th. The Syndicate tells the story of 5 lottery winners and how sh-tty it can be when they go from working in the supermarket to not having to work ever again. Mo' money, mo' problems, right? Anyway, who stars in The Syndicate?Well, for starters, how about Just Judy Full Story
Best of 2011: Neville Got Hot
Wenn, Splash, Getty
The blooming of Neville, or, more accurately, should we say metamorphosis?, was a wonderful distraction from the sadness of The End. Neville got hot!And not just in pictures. In person, Neville was super, super cute. And wore his suit very, very well. I've not seen much from Matthew Lewis since summer. Full Story
Why is it always Neville?
"Greatest Harry Potter Moments" was trending a while ago Twitter. I'm guessing because ITV aired a Top 50 Harry Potter moments special last night? Thanks @swedishgirlies! Am attaching a short video of Neville describing a few of his experiences. "Why is it always me?" Since there are no new photos of Neville/Matthew Lewis, I thought I'd include some older ones – these are from April 2011 – of Neville with Tonks and Luna and just Luna promoting the DVD release of HP7A in London. Full Story
Neville around the world
Who's getting the biggest career bump from the success of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2? It's STILL surprising to me that it's Neville. That Neville, the new "heartthrob" might be, like, some kind of action star one day. Neville! After trips to Toronto, Washington, and Chicago last week to promote the movie, here's Matthew Lewis in Australia today at the preview for the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. Full Story
Neville has chest hair
Everyone is talking about Neville. Everyone is jizzing over Neville's transformation. Wouldn't be it be CRAZY if in another 10 years, it's Neville, I mean Matthew Lewis, who's, like, on the list of Sexiest Men Alive or something? Never mind. It could totally happen this year. Hilarious. Full Story
Three days with Neville
I interviewed him at the junket in New York on Sunday and I told him I'd be in his face the next three days because on Monday there was the NYC premiere and then on Tuesday he'd be in Toronto to promote the film and etalk had exclusive access at the after party. He was really sweet about it. Full Story

Author Sherman Alexie's Rants On Colbert Against Ebooks, Piracy And 'Open Source Culture'
from the you-said-what-now? deptOn last night's Colbert Report, author Sherman Alexie spent most of the interview ranting against digital books and how "piracy" was destroying the book business. The whole thing was odd not just because of how uninformed it was, but also because he seemed to contradict himself multiple times. I haven't read any of Alexie's books, but if his logic is so twisted, it's difficult to think that his books are worth reading:
He compares the book business to the music business, saying:
"When the music industry went digital, somewhere between 75 and 95% of music is pirated. Nobody makes money off their music any more. Everything is about live shows now."First of all, it wasn't the industry that went digital. Music went online way before the industry even realized it, and one of the main reasons that the piracy rates are as high as they are (and his numbers are industry figures that aren't reliable at all) was because the industry held back for so long in giving people what they wanted: which is exactly what Alexie is now doing!
As for his claim that no one makes money off their music any more, that's obviously silly. He admits that they now make their money from live shows (which is making money off their music). And then later in the interview, he points out that one of the parts he enjoyed most about being a published author was doing live performances and readings of his works. In other words, he already does what he claims happened to the music industry. So why is he so worried about piracy? That's not clear at all.
He also seems rather uninformed about how file sharing has helped some authors.
I'd be really worried if I were Stephen King or James Patterson or a really big best seller that when their books become completely digitized, how easy it's going to be to pirate them.Where to start....? First, Alexie doesn't seem to understand how book file sharing happens. It's not because the industry digitizes the books, but because others digitize those books, and, yes, they're most likely already available on file sharing networks, whether those authors released them in ebook form or not. It's not the official ebook they're sharing in most cases anyway.
Second, as for the claim that it will harm the biggest name authors most of all, Alexie might want to talk to Paulo Coelho. Coelho is the guy who quietly set up operations to "pirate" his own book and saw the sales of his physical books increase massively. Oh, and the book he chose to offer up via BitTorrent, The Alchemist is one of the best selling books of all time. Stephen King and James Patterson, by the way, do not have any books on that list -- though, to be fair, if you combine all of their books, King has sold more than Coelho, and Patterson seems to be in a similar ballpark, probably selling slightly more than Coelho, but both have published many more books.
Then, really strangely, he attacks "open source culture":
With the "open source culture" on the internet, the idea of ownership -- of artistic ownership -- goes away.Now, beyond this just being flat out wrong about what "open source" means or what "open source culture" is, what's the most bizarre thing about this statement is who it's coming from. Alexie is most well-known for his writing about modern Native American life -- and Native Americans aren't exactly known for their strong believe in artistic ownership. In fact, much of the understanding of so-called "gift economies," which are sometimes (though not always accurately) used to describe the open source world are actually based on Native American gift giving culture of tribes in the Pacific Northwest, which is where Alexie is from.
Colbert actually does a good job pushing back on this, in his usual self-mocking manner, pointing out that sharing helps get the word out there, and the only reason he's so famous is because of how easily his content is shared via TV. Without that, he notes, he'd have to just go door to door shouting at people. To which Alexie responds: "I'm a fan of door to door shouting at people." Good luck with that.

Bill Carrigan, manager of the Red Sox championship teams in 1915 and 1916, returned to Fenway Park as Boston's manager in 1927. However, Carrigan's arrival did little to change the team's fortunes and they finished in last place for the third straight year. Another continuing trend was the increasing amount of football played at Fenway Park in the fall, including a rare tripleheader of three football games on November 24, 1927.
Record: 51-103, 8th in American League
Manager: William F. Carrigan
Attendance: 305,275
It was hard not to notice the success the Yankees were having, with their Murderers Row winning 110 games to finish 19 games ahead of second-place Philadelphia. A former Red Sox player named Ruth hit 60 home runs, while his teammate Lou Gehrig - who the Red Sox reportedly could have acquired for Phil Todt at one point - drove in 175 runs. Former Red Sox pitchers Waite Hoyt and Herb Pennock combined to win 41 games for the Yankees.
Bill Carrigan, who had led the team to back-to-back World Series Championships in 1915-16, returned to manage the 1927 Red Sox. In the first year of his return, Carrigan's team won five more games than the Red Sox did the previous season but finished dead last again. Todt led the team with six home runs (one-tenth of Ruth's production) while the team hit just 28 total. Ira Flagstead tallied a team-leading 69 RBIs, one of only three Boston batters who drove in more than 50.
There was one positive club statistic in 1927; despite a 2-11 start and a 15-game losing streak in late June and early July, attendance was up for the second year in a row.
Much like the previous year, Fenway Park was rife with football in 1927. In one three-day span in October, four high school football games were played, while a rare tripleheader occurred on November 24, 1927. That day, Boston English and Dorchester High were victorious in the two morning games, while Pere Marquette bested Fitton A.C. in the afternoon match-up.

Australia – Chairman of Social Policy doubts country will allow gay marriage
The chairman of an Australian parliamentary committee that examined gay law reform said Monday that he believes lawmakers will maintain a ban on same-sex marriage when the contentious issue is voted on later this year.
The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs received an unprecedented number of responses on the question — more than 276,000 — and 64 percent of them were in favor of allowing gay marriage. But the committee's eight members were divided and made no recommendation in their report published Monday.
Committee chairman Graham Perrett, who has two gay brothers and supports gay marriage, said he does not believe a majority of lawmakers share his views.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, an opponent of gay marriage, will allow members of her center-left Labor Party to make personal choices on how they vote on the legislation. But opposition leader Tony Abbott, a staunch Roman Catholic, will insist that members of his conservative Liberal Party reject gay marriage.
Perrett, a Labor lawmaker, said he believes lawmakers would reject gay marriage even if Abbott allowed members of his party a free vote.
"My reading of it is that would not be the case" that gay marriage would be allowed, Perrett told reporters.
Perrett noted that the captain of Australia's rugby team, David Pocock, supported gay marriage.
"You know when a rugby player is more progressive than many of the parliamentarians, even within the Labor Party, you know that Australia has changed significantly," Perrett said.
Greens lawmaker Adam Brandt, who has introduced one of the two gay marriage bills, said Monday that he will not allow his bill to be voted on unless Abbott allows his party to vote according to their consciences.
Brandt said he was more optimistic than Perrett that the legislation would pass.
Labor lawmaker Stephen Jones said he expected his own gay marriage bill will be voted on this year.
"We're short of a majority at this point and a lot of that is contingent on whether the Liberals are given a free vote," Jones said. "I can't see that happening in the near term, but these things can change."
Australian law was amended in 2004 with the unanimous support of Labor and the conservatives to make clear that only a union between a man and a woman can be legally recognized as a marriage.
But Labor changed it policy at its annual national conference in December last year.

Will Stellarium 10.5 work without open GL? I currently have Stellarium 10.1 running on my machine - but I have to use windows to run it.
If only there was a 10.1 for puppy, I wouldn't have to run Windows at all.
When I try to run 10.6 in Puppy5.2,I get a "no open GL support" error message. I guess a new video card that supports Open GL is in order?

There should be information on OpenGL if you have it. Else try go to Quickpet drivers, test video card and hopefully you can install appropriate drivers for your system.

Thanks emil. I was just about to buy a new video card. I went to the driver menu in Quickpet and downloaded an updated driver. Stellarium now works! It loads quite a bit faster than the Windows version, too.
Thanks again, you're a Prince!

Post subject: How to: run Stellarium on Puppy 4.3
For anyone who needs or prefers Puppy 4.3 it is possible to run Stu90's Stellarium .pet - I'll try to explain. This is what works for me on Puppy 4.3.1 kernel 22.214.171.124.
First things
back up
your installation and any files that are on the same drive before trying this.
Install the full Open GL graphic drivers by running Puppy Package Manager and looking under the All category for
If you want to test this worked, open a terminal and type
than Enter. This should give loads of output with lines about "Glx" and "Open GL". If not, search the forum or make a new post to see what can be done for your graphics card before going any further.
What you'll need
You will need to collect the following downloaded packages, choose to save them when downloading rather then installing immediately and put them somewhere you can find them again
libc6 -- from the Ubuntu pages
clicky link is half-way down.
libstdc++ -- also from Ubuntu
, click on your nearest of the big list of links.
stellarium 0.10.6.pet from Stu90's opening post in this thread.
qt-4.6.3-lite.pet -- the second item from
Puppy Wikka page.
To install
Install these files (click on the downloaded file and follow Puppy's prompts) in this order, it's probably best to reboot after each one too.
libc6, libstdc++, stellarium and finally Qt4.
I found that QT4
be installed after Stellarium or it won't run, this seems wrong but is the case for me.
Running Stellarium
There should now be an entry under Menu > Programs > Fun for Stellarium which should run it but with a couple of quirks for anyone who has used it before.
Firstly: The programme opens in an apparently fixed part screen window without the pop-out tool bars at the base and left side or a title bar. To fix it: press the F11 key, the tool bars appear and the display will switch between full screen and windowed with the mouse button or F11 as it should.
Secondly: dialogues such as the one to set the observer's location don't accept keyboard input with the programme full screen but do when windowed so I just set things up while windowed then changed to full screen for the best display.
Last notes
Pmusic seems to be broken by doing this installation as it crashes part way through playing mp3 files. As Mplayer and Gxine both still seem to work OK and I'm not that interested in multimedia stuff I haven't followed this up but it might be fixable. Anyone who needs music and video stuff on the same computer had better test carefully that all their apps still work right.
Hope all this is of some value to someone.

Want to say hello and note some observations for stellarium on Puppy Lupu 5 :
There are
on the ibiblio mirror
My installation is a Puppy Lupu/lucid 5.1.1 full installation .
I installed the 0.10.4 pet first, which showed some bugs [tested only jwm] :
1. The left bottom sidebar showed only three contents
2. The left bottom bar did not show at all
3. jwm did not create a window frame , had been splash all the time
4. Therefore apparently F11 toggling fullscreen did not work, froze the computer, had to do hard poweroff
5. Also Control+q to leave the program froze my system (intel dual core@2,6GHz;4GB Ram)
The 0.10.6 version runs OK .
I am not a big supporter of updates and upgrades, but in this case it is really essential .
Additional NOTE : The Stellarium .pet s come with qt-4.6.2 . I had qt-4.3.2 already installed , and did not run ldconfig, so libQtcore.so still points to libQtcore.so.4.3.2 while libQtcore.so.4 got upgraded to point to libQtcore.so.4.6.2 (and same for all the other Qt4 libs) .
Thanks !

Palms - Wolf
Glasgow-based band Palms played at the launch of Covergirl's Paris Burns single release at Power Lunches a couple of weeks ago. My respect for them grew from hearing their first song, and thinking, "hmm, not bad", to being throughly obsessed with this song, Wolf, which they played at the end of their set.
There's a 50s garage/dark country element to the vocals which puts you in mind of bands like the Dum Dum Girls, but the bassline is more menacing, the tempo more languid, than that "girl group" style normally employs. I was also actually weirdly reminded of Sleater Kinney in parts, and the Cramps-esque howl at the end sealed the deal for me. I love this song.

Katy Perry Breaks Pop Songs Chart Record
Katy Perry has scored her sixth No. 1 song on Billboard's Pop Songs chart with 'The One That Got Away,' breaking the record for the most No. 1 singles from one album.
The Pop Songs chart record was previously held by Justin Timberlake and Lady Gaga, who each have claimed four No. 1 singles on the chart from their respective first albums, 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' and 'The Fame.'
The achievement is not to be confused with surpassing Michael Jackson, with whom Perry is tied for most No. 1 singles from one album on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Currently the two pop stars are tied at five each from the King of Pop's 'Bad' album and Perry's unstoppable 'Teenage Dream' release.
An official remix of 'The One That Got Away' featuring B.o.B was released in December, while an acoustic version of the song was unveiled on Jan. 18. Both versions have helped push the tune to the top of the pop charts, and Perry's label, Capitol Records, is hoping for the same results on the Hot 100.
For now, Capitol couldn't be more proud of its star. "[It's] tremendous recognition for one of the most talented artists in the world," the label's executive vice president, Greg Thompson, said. "We couldn't be happier for Katy."

Canadian Art
Canadian Modern (1910-1979)
A sizeable and key collection area for the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the modern Canadian art holdings exhibit great depth and breadth, and include many works of national historic and aesthetic significance.
Chief among these is an historically and stylistically comprehensive collection, numbering over 1,000 paintings, prints, drawings, and sculptures by Manitoban L.L. FitzGerald, one of Canada's best known artists. Important bodies of work by other Manitoba-based artists of national repute include prints and paintings by Walter J. Phillips, Tony Tascona, William Kurelek, Ivan Eyre, and Ester Warkov.
Early modern Canadian art is well represented by artists from coast to coast, and includes important works by David Milne, Emily Carr, the Group of Seven, Prudence Heward, and Charles Comfort, among many more. The WAG's extensive collection of early modern Canadian art testifies to the formative role of the Winnipeg School of Art, a sister civic institution between 1913 and 1950, through which the Gallery attained some of its earliest and best examples. Canadian mid 20th century abstraction, specifically by Prairie artists, is a well-developed sector of the collection, encompassing paintings, prints, and sculpture by the Regina Five, Toronto's Painters Eleven, as well as late- and post-Automatist painting from Montreal.
The WAG's collection of Canadian abstract painting is underpinned by Bertram Brooker's Sounds Assembling (1928), acquired in 1946 for the Gallery by then-principal of the Winnipeg School of Art, L.L. FitzGerald. This painting by the Manitoba-raised and Toronto-based artist is one of the first abstract works to be produced and exhibited in Canada.

What Is Thorium?
Thorium is a natural occurring element found on earth, the moon, mars... essentially everywhere. It is a slightly radioactive metal and is easily three times more abundant on Earth than uranium. Because of its fertility, it can be used as fuel in a nuclear power plant.
Why is thorium important if we already have uranium-fueled nuclear power plants? A thorium-fueled nuclear reactor generates hundreds of times the power of a uranium or coal power plant but produces essentially no waste. A thorium power plant would produce much less than 1% of the waste that a uranium plant of equal magnitude produces and, of course, would produce no carbon dioxide. More importantly, while the waste of a uranium power plant is toxic for over 10,000 years, the little waste that is produced in a thorium plant is benign in under 200 years. Even more impressive, the thorium power plant can be used to burn our current stockpile of nuclear waste. And yet, the benefits continue. The thorium power plant cannot "melt down", thorium cannot practically be used to make nuclear weapons, there is enough thorium in the United States alone to power the country at its current energy level for over 10,000 years, and the thorium power plant can be designed to be a plug and play module that could tap right in at the source of a current coal or uranium plant so there would be no need for laying a new grid.
Now, although it sounds like science fiction, the potential of thorium power has already been witnessed. Studies and experiments were conducted from the 1950's until the 70's. Almost 20,000 hours of operation and the true value of thorium was proven as a superlative energy source in the molten-salt reactor experiment (MSRE) between 1964-1975. With all that said, we hear the same question from everyone who hears about thorium for the first time. "It almost sounds too good to be true, why isn't it already in use today?" Surf on if you are one of these people. You'll find that there isn't a good reason.

The southern half of Florida's Atlantic coast is one of the most densely populated portions of the state. It's hard to imagine a time when this was not the case, but at the turn of the 20th century, the population in this area was comparatively tiny. In 1905, Fort Lauderdale had a population of only 219 persons. Miami had fewer than 5,000 residents, even counting the suburbs. West Palm Beach was home to about 1,300.
Investors were eager to get more settlers moving into the area to farm and generate economic activity. With help from Florida's Bureau of Immigration, they cast a wide net, seeking new residents from around the country and abroad. Jo Sakai, a Japanese man who graduated from New York University in 1903, was one of those who answered the call. In 1904, Sakai and others would establish a colony near present-day Boca Raton called Yamato.

You know Richard Morris. He is the Londoner who can make a Ferrari 430 look good.
While his beautiful photos are made with über-sharp Leica rangefinders, last year he also started shooting videos with DSLRs. His first movie featuring the best of Britain made Jalopnik readers start a discussion about hydrogen fuel cell technology, so I wonder what this will do to you.
It's just some Porsches driving very fast through the Alps and the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Places I've already been to, but should also go back to this instant. Someone please help me by sending a canary yellow 993...

text: Today the film studios will (finally) be announcing new Blu-ray and HD DVD titles in hopes of jump-starting the multi-billion-dollar next-generation formats while staving off criticism that they are responsible for delays. Twentieth Century Fox will release 20 Blu-ray films including "Fantastic Four" and "Ice Age" with Sony Pictures dropping an additional 20 Blu-ray titles including "The Fifth Element" and "Hitch." HD DVD supporters will get some love from Warner Bros. who will deliver the goods in both formats. Now how about some players, playas?

After five years of revising and refining, the
resolution "Increasing Access To Out-Of-Hospital Maternity Care
Services Through State-Regulated and Nationally-Certified Direct-Entry
Midwives" was approved by the American Public Health Association (APHA)
Governing Council at their annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia on
October 24, 2001. The resolution should be a welcome and useful tool
for midwifery advocates across the country!
The text of the resolution, including the footnotes, is provided below. It is also available as a PDF file at www.cfmidwifery.org/pdf/apha.pdf.
In addition, it will soon be published in the APHA's regular
publication Nation's Health and will be posted on their website. It
will also be included in APHA Public Policy Statements, 1948 to
present, cumulative, Washington, D.C. current volume.
Since its first introduction, the position statement
has gone through many changes to address the concerns and requirements
of many groups and professionals within the huge APHA. The intent of
both the authors, as well as APHA, was to draft a resolution that
supported access to out-of-hospital maternity care by qualified
providers, not to support a specific credential. Currently both
Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) and Certified Midwives (CM) would
qualify as state-regulated and nationally certified direct-entry
midwives. It is possible that in the future there might be additional
national certifications available; these would also fall under the
broad constructs of this resolution.
This resolution was the work of many people over a
number of years. The authors include: Sharon Wells, MS, LM, CPM, a
midwife who also holds a masters degree in education and is currently
on staff at Draughons College in Nashville, TN; Carol Nelson, LM, CPM,
a midwife who, among other pursuits, serves the Amish community near
her home in Summertown, TN; Jonathan B. Kotch, MD, MPH, Professor and
Associate Chair of the Maternal Child Health program at University of
North Carolina, Chapel Hill and past chair of the Maternal Child Health
section of APHA; Stanley H. Weiss, MD, FACP, Associate Professor,
Preventive Medicine at New Jersey Medical School – UMDNJ in Newark, NJ,
as well an active member of the epidemiology section of APHA; and James
Gaudino, MD, MS, MPH, MCH Medical Epidemiologist at The Epidemiology
Center, Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board in Portland, OR, as
well as an active member of the epidemiology section of APHA. In
addition, Stanley Weiss and James Gaudino served in an advisory
capacity with Ken Johnson and Betty Ann Daviss regarding the final
methodology design for the CPM Statistics 2000 project.
"Increasing Access To Out-Of-Hospital
Maternity Care Services Through State-Regulated and
Nationally-Certified Direct-Entry Midwives"
Formally adopted by the Governing Council of the American Public Health Association (APHA)Wednesday, October 24, 2001
its position on credentials for health occupations, that there should
be alternative routes involving educational systems of selection and
preparation, and legal systems of licensing by which people can prepare
and qualify for health occupations (1)
REAFFIRMING its recognition that many women seek birthing alternatives (2) and,
RECOGNIZING that pregnancy and birth are normal life events for a majority of women, (3,4,5) and,
REAFFIRMING its endorsement of the philosophy of
family-centered maternity care, the importance of continuity of care,
and the use of a variety of licensed care-givers, (6)
RECOGNIZING that Direct-entry Midwives encompass a
diverse group of midwives that have entered the profession directly
through midwifery education and training, and not through a
pre-requisite program such as nursing. (7) Recognizing that there are
alternative educational systems of selection and preparation for
national certification of Direct entry Midwives that include either the
Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) credential and the Certified
Midwife (CM) credential; and that both require didactic programs,
written examinations and clinical experience. (8,9) In the case of the
Certified Professional Midwives the didactic component consists of
education in a program accredited by an agency that is recognized by
the US Department of Education or the PEP Program, the North American
Registry of Midwives competency-based, educational portfolio
evaluation, and the clinical component is equivalent to one year of
experience which includes more than a thousand contact hours under the
supervision of one or more preceptors, some of which must be in
out-of-hospital settings, but none of which need to be in hospital
settings; (8) and in the case of the Certified Midwife (CM) credential
requires education in institutions of higher learning accredited by an
agency that is recognized by the US Department of Education to meet the
same standards that Certified Nurse Midwives must meet, completing core
science requirements similar to those required for a nurse, and
fulfilling core midwifery requirements that are a part of all
accredited nurse-midwifery education programs, and clinical experience
that must include hospital experience, but is not required to include
out-of-hospital experience. (9)
RECOGNIZING that individual states interested in
incorporating direct-entry midwives into their health care systems are
moving towards regulatory models based on national certification. (5)
RECOGNIZING evidence that many women seek alternatives to hospital care for normal pregnancy and birth, and,
RECOGNIZING the evidence that births to healthy
mothers, who are not considered at medical risk after comprehensive
screening by trained professionals, can occur safely in various
settings, including out-of-hospital birth centers and homes
(10,11,12,13,14) and,
NOTING that an epidemiological study of Certified
Professional Midwives (CPMs) is ongoing in order to further
substantiate practice outcomes, safety, client satisfaction, and
practitioner competency is in progress; (15)
RECOGNIZING that out-of-hospital settings have the potential for reducing the costs of maternity care; (7,12,16)
RECOGNIZING evidence that access to quality maternity
caregivers remains an important issue, particularly for underserved
urban and rural communities; (17) which may be addressed through
out-of-hospital maternity services in some communities; and
REAFFIRMING that the APHA currently recognizes the
value of and promotes educational opportunities for nurse-midwifery,
(18) and that many professionals recognize the contributions of
direct-entry midwifery; and,
REAFFIRMING that APHA has been an innovator in public
health care by supporting research on alternative and complementary
medicine (1,19) and increased access to midwifery services in the
United States, (20)
RECOGNIZING that there should be alternative routes
involving educational systems of selection and preparation, and legal
systems of licensing by which people can prepare and qualify for health
occupations, including those direct-entry midwives who are
nationally-certified and who have successfully completed "a recognized
midwifery education process"; (21,22,23,25) and
RECOGNIZING evidence that direct-entry midwives have
multiple educational routes (22,24) available to them in order to meet
the entry-level requirements of knowledge, skills and experience;
RECOGNIZING evidence that individual states interested
in incorporating direct-entry midwives into the health care system are
moving towards regulatory models based on national certifications; (22)Therefore, APHA
