Oracle clamps down on Sun hardware support contracts
Oracle clamped down on Sun customers, requiring full support contracts on all Sun hardware. Sun watchers say the move will shut out third-party Sun support and drive many Solaris users to Linux.
Sun hardware shops must get their support contracts in order with Oracle if if they want to continue getting patches, fixes and support for their Sun hardware, according to notice posted to Oracle's support site two weeks ago.
The money quote:
"To receive technical support ..., all equipment, including components, options and spare parts … must be a covered hardware system. Covered hardware system means all Oracle/Sun hardware for which you have (i) paid the technical support fee, and (ii) provided to Oracle the serial number and/or other identification and entitlement information as requested by Oracle and in the manner specified by Oracle. Components, options and spare parts purchased separately from your original equipment purchase are included in the definition of hardware system. Oracle will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide the hardware support service. (Note: These offerings are not available for non-Oracle/Sun hardware)."
And it's not just hardware. Solaris downloads will not be supported after 90 days. As blogger Ben Rockwood pointed out the relevant text:
"Please remember, your right to use Solaris acquired as a download is limited to a trial of 90 days, unless you acquire a service contract for the downloaded Software."
So far, OpenSolaris appears unaffected by these changes.
Sun watchers said all of this is quite a change for Sun's customers many of which had figured out a way to avoid paying top dollar for Sun support. One long-time Sun integrator said he understands, on the one hand, why Oracle is bringing down the hammer.
"Sun's service pricing model was horrible. Customers historically put some systems on support but not all so they could save money. You could have 100 systems running Solaris but have 25 on support," he noted.
In his view, Oracles approach looks to be easier to administer but (and this is a big, bad but), customers may not care how easy it is if their support costs go through the roof.
"This sudden about-face in which Oracle wants a support contract for essentially any use of Solaris will make me think long and hard about deploying Solaris instead of Linux or another free OS in the future," said Bill Bradford, a senior systems administrator for an energy services firm in Houston, Texas.
Bradford runs the Sun user help site, SunHELP.org and said "Sun's new owners aren't just shooting themselves in the foot, they've blown the limb off at the ankle. Unless we see some assurance from someone at Oracle soon with definitive answers about free security patch access and non-commercial licensing, they stand to lose a huge amount of their customer base."
Oracle clearly wants to weed out third-party support organizations in Oracle shops. Those third parties offered big-time discounts—up to 40% or more vs. Sun support. Anyone who doubted that need only look at Oracle's litigation against SAP, over its TomorrowNow support division, or Rimini Street , to see that Oracle wants the service revenue generated by Oracle products all to itself.
This move diminishes the value of third party service providers, and could foreclose more cost-effective support options to customers, according to another Sun customer.
A common reaction to this news was that Oracle CEO Larry Ellison is wasting no time getting as much of the $7.4 million he paid for Sun back into Oracle's coffers.

It can take entrepreneurs some time to fix on their business idea but everything they do along the way contributes to their eventual destination.
After his industrial design degree at Victoria University, Craig Fountain worked for Peter Haythornthwaite Design and met the LA-based head of BMW's design studio, Chuck Pelly, doing two projects for him in the US.
Back in New Zealand he did boat design for a bit, then went to work at his father's business, Fountain Apparel, a garment manufacturer for companies including Pumpkin Patch and EziBuy.
"I was thrown into the deep end. I did everything, production, quality control, talking with the Chinese, management. He put me on a speed management course," says Fountain.
His conclusion was: "It's not quite my thing." He went on to doing business development at Personalised Plates, then worked on a high-end property development in Kerikeri. During this time he discovered an impressive composite decking product from Canada.
Fountain became a sales agent for the Canadian product, but it was expensive. "So we researched other composites and decided to develop our own products and brand that suited the New Zealand market."
Outdure was incorporated in 2007. Based in Henderson, the company designs, develops and manufactures decking products for homes and commercial buildings, providing hardwood decking, timber alternatives and solutions for floating decks over membranes.
The raw materials are sourced from recycled materials in China and abroad. Its brands are Eco-decking boards and the Qwickbuild deck frame system, a finalist in the New Zealand Innovators Awards 2012.
With Qwickbuild, decking boards are installed without screws or nails.
"It has a prefab system that is light enough for two to four people to carry so access is not an issue," says Fountain.
"People are still building decks like they have done forever. Now we have completely redesigned the structure of it."
It takes from two to eight days to erect the decks depending on the materials.
"The whole idea was to set up a brand that we could not only build in New Zealand but export," he says.
The potential is huge in the US. "The composite decking market is 25 per cent of the US [decking] market. We get a lot of inquiries from there," says Fountain
"Our offshore projects trump our Kiwi sales," says Fountain. They are projects for resorts, walkways and floating bures in Fiji or the Maldives. Australia and Europe are other big markets. Having projects in both hemispheres works well, as decking is seasonal. Locally, Outdure, with a staff of 10, plus installers, has worked on a range of projects from the penthouse at the Shangri La apartment building in Jervois Rd to schools, the Kerikeri footbridge and Christchurch homes.
The young entrepreneur, meanwhile, has an impressive advisory board for the business he owns with his wife, Lucy, who designed his company website.
It includes his father-in- law, Wayne Brown, the former chairman of the Auckland District Health Board and Mayor of the Far Northern District Council, and his father, Warren. Jeremy Lubeck from Personalised Plates is also involved as well as Lester Haycock, the creator of Future-Proof Building in New Zealand.
The company's turnover is under $3 million. "The goal posts keep shifting. We are growing 100 per cent on last year," says Fountain.
Top Tip:
Something Craig Fountain learned from BMW: you can develop all the products in the world, but if you are not going to solve the problem, people are not going to buy it.

Ulrich is, on this point as on every other, indisputably correct.
At last month's Women and the LDS Church conference, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's stimulating plenary address was a guided romp through the archives, sharing some of the best bits of the sources for her latest project on 19th-century Mormon women. Though her tone was upbeat and very funny, her theme was tragic: the appalling scarcity of surviving Mormon women's diaries. So scarce are women's diaries, which she carefully distinguishes from long-after-the-fact personal histories, that she has been forced to look further afield, to autograph books and handicrafts, for a window into that historical moment. Nevertheless, she emphasized the richness of the records that do exist, the power of their implicit witness and invitation.

Tonight was just one of those nights where nothing seemed to go right.
First off, our "quick-and-dirty" PCB took far longer than we'd hoped, given that it didn't print properly in the first place.
Then we tried adding a dial of numbers to our petanque score keeping device. NewlyDraw lets you print and "scan" (engrave) from a single file, so we added an engrave layer to our cutouts and set the laser going.
The etching looked lovely as the head whizzed backwards and forwards, but when it came to cutting, things didn't look quite right:
For whatever reason, the etching and the cutting just didn't line up (yet looked perfect onscreen!)
Undeterred, we decided to try out some paint-filling ideas to make the numbers really stand out. A few CNC forums suggest simply using acrylic paint to fill the engraving, and wipe off with a damp cloth. It didn't really work for us!
We tried wiping the etching both while the paint was still wet, and after it had dried. The results were noticably different, with wiping once dried giving a better result (but still not brilliant)
(Numbers 5 and 6 were filled, left to dry, then wiped clean. Then other numbers were wiped while the paint was still wet on the surface)
So neither the etching, cutting nor painting was much of a success.
Our earlier PCB making was only partially successful, but, determined to salvage something from tonight, we soldiered on to make a test board.
We bought some shift registers from Farnell last night (ordered 7pm last night, arrived 2pm this afternoon – amazing service!) for another large LED-based project. The breakout board was supposed to be a quick-and-dirty way of testing out how they worked. So we added some surface mount LEDs to pins 1-6 and mounted a 74HC595 register on the board.
The only trouble was, we can't find the "pin one" marker on the casing. Normally IC chips have a dot in one top left corner, to indicate which pin is pin one. But this time, we couldn't see one!
So we've just mounted one and hoped for the best.
Now we need to get it hooked up to a microcontroller and see if we can get those LEDs to light up. If they do, we know we've got it right. The problem comes if they don't.
Is it due to a dodgy connection, some badly written PIC code, mis-understanding how the shift register works, or has the IC been mounted the wrong way around?
There's only one way to find out – but it's almost midnight now and there's little time left to go digging about looking for that PIC programmer…..

- Page 1 Acer neoTouch P300 Review
- Page 2 Screen, Camera and Performance Review
- Page 3 Sample Photos Review
Like the Acer P400, this model uses a 3.2in resistive touchscreen, but the resolution is lower at 240 x 400 pixels. Because the screen is resistive, it doesn't support multi-touch even though this feature is now integrated into the Windows Phone OS. However, the screen is bright and colours look quite vivid too. The resolution may not be anything to shout about, but it's perfectly acceptable for viewing web pages and text, and images look reasonably crisp. The display is also quite sensitive to touch input, so even lighter presses of your finger are accurately registered.
The P300 has a slower processor than the one Acer used on the P400. It's a Qualcomm chip clocked at 528MHz rather than 600MHz. These chips are related to the Snapdragon line, and include the OpenGL ES 2.0 engine, but they're obviously not as quick as the full Snapdragon processor as the phone does struggle a little with lots of apps running and screen redraws can be a tad sluggish at times.
As with the P400, this model has a 3.2-megapixel camera mounted on the rear. There's sadly no flash, but at least the camera does have autofocus. Strangely, the software driving the camera seems to be different to what Acer used on the P400. It's actually better as it suffers less from shutter lag and gives you a visual indication of exactly what the autofocus is targeting. Photos taken outdoors come out well and there's a fair amount of detail in the images given the limited resolution of the sensor. As you would expect, though, indoor shots suffer from the lack of a flash. They're generally very dark and noisy unless there is heaps of light streaming into the room.
When it comes to connectivity, the handset covers all the bases. HSDPA mobile data is supported alongside Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. There's also onboard GPS and although there's no navigation software included, the GPS chip did work well in Google Maps as it was fairly fast to get a lock on our location. Call quality was also impressive as the earpiece delivers crisp audio and the mic isn't overly directional so you don't have to talk directly into it as you do on the iPhone.
As with the majority of Windows Phone devices, the P300's battery is good for around two days of normal usage for phone calls and a bit of web surfing. However. the GPS chip does drain the battery quite quickly, so if you make heavy use of it you can expect the battery life to drop to under a day.
We think the P300 is better than Samsung's Omnia Pro, but nowhere near as good as HTC's Touch Pro2. If you're on a tight budget and want a Windows-based handset with a full keyboard it's certainly worth a look as it is attractively priced. However, those with a bit more cash to spend would be better off opting for HTC's model instead.

Coach Graham Henry, who became aware of the behaviour when there were no biscuits at morning tea, is believed to be very disappointed that 'some boys have let themselves and the blazer down.'
The late night shenanigans are the latest in a series of player misdemeanours the most recent of which involved chris Jack and Carl Hayman posing for photographs wearing Dan Carter's underpants. "They were being rude," an informant told the Kiwi Herald. "Dan was really upset because when he put the underpants on they had gone all saggy and the other boys laughed at him." On another occasion Troy Flavell apparently got a good telling off when he forgot the words of the National Anthem and sang "God of Nations tweet tweet tweet, God defend our toilet seat."
None of the players involved in the latest incident were due to play any time soon, in fact one of them, John Schwalger, regularly has to be convinced that he did not dream once playing in a test match. Sources say this isn't surprising since Graham Henry routinely mistakes Scwhalger for a ball-boy.
Meanwhile Ali Williams has returned to the squad after on-going dizzy spells. Inside sources say that doctors have advised the team management that further player rotation could cause a relapse.

After David Cameron's embarrassing parliamentary defeat this week over US action in Syria, the extent to which Britain is now insignificant in world events has finally been revealed.
The myth of Britain retaining power and influence in the world was this week blown apart as President Obama simply shrugged off Britain's refusal to go along with US military action in Syria in the absence of any real proof that the Syrian authorities had used chemical weapons against its own people.
As one major American news network put it, "The British are not coming."
After the disaster in Iraq, why is anybody surprised?
Nobody outside of the UK any longer cares – or really wants to know – what Britain thinks or does unless it is done in the shadow of the United States; usually done, it has to be said, rather cynically and in the vague hope that the prime minister of the day may benefit from some of the perceived reflected glory and respect that may be visited upon the incumbent American president.
Obama has subsequently expressed to Cameron his "understanding" – but has vowed that the US will go ahead with action against Syria anyway – whether there is proof of wrongdoing or not – even if that means going against the United Nations.
The fact that Obama is to seek the approval of Congress does not change the fact that as there is no direct threat to the US, without the approval of the United Nations Security Council the US would be in breach of international law if any attack on Syria were to go ahead.
The same thing would apply to Britain were "America's closest ally" to join a US attack on Syria.
Cameron must regret that in Britain there is a prime minister, not a president; something that never bothered Blair, who of course was convinced he was president anyway.
TheOpinionSite.org believes that in the end, America only ever does what it does for its own benefit.
Despite the fact that America states it is there for the good of the world and has "no empirical ambitions", such a statement is hard to believe when one considers the nearly 200 US bases and installations that the US has dotted around the world.
We therefore hope that this latest parliamentary event will perhaps enable the UK to at last become independent of the sycophantic pandering to the US that has become so apparent since Blair and which now it seems is still to be continued by the self-appointed 'heir to Blair', David Cameron.
If the UK were to be independent of the US instead of trying to be the 51st state, its leaders may be rather more interested in solving the problems afflicting its own people rather than interfering in the affairs of a sovereign state in the Middle East.
History shows that all British prime ministers want their own war; Thatcher had the Falklands, Blair Iraq and even MacMillan had Suez.
British leaders since Churchill have always been desperate to catch up with the wartime leader who is still idolised by many and hated by others.
Cameron must have been truly devastated when he lost the vote this week. The public humiliation was crushing.
Thursday's Commons vote was however much more significant than some would like to believe – or indeed are prepared to recognise.
TheOpinionSite.org has for a long time rehearsed the fact that in the real world, Britain is now little more than a pitiful little island moored somewhere off the coast of Northern Europe, where it languishes in what is frankly well-deserved obscurity.
Obsessed with immigration, the hatred of all things European and a very unhealthy, almost religious fervour to believe that the poor are there to be persecuted, women are always under-dogs, every child is always blameless and all men in Britain are always either sex offenders, pimps or women-haters, is it any wonder that the rest of the world now regards the UK as being rather mad, totally irrelevant and never again to be taken seriously?
Britain only has any standing at all on the world stage because of its historically gifted permanent seat on the UN Security Council – along one must say with Russia, China, the US and France; a seat by the way that it effectively gave to itself after the World War II.
The sad truth is however that through its obsession with all things American and its reliance on the fact that there was indeed once a British Empire but which has long since disappeared, Britain is not at all relevant in today's world.
It is not even relevant any longer as a friend of the US, with whom the UK claims to have a "special relationship"; a relationship that is not (and never has been) at all "special"; every other western nation claiming to have that same "special relationship".
Indeed, the US now regards France as its "special" friend rather than the UK; not least because President Hollande has said France will back the US over Syria whereas Britain would not.
There are also questions over the co-operation of the UK with the US regarding intelligence issues, especially now the British people know that they are being spied upon day in, day out and mainly at the behest of the Americans.
With a corrupt British government that cannot tell the truth over its own police force, let alone international conflict, the position of Britain and the UK as a whole is no longer one that other countries either covet or seek to emulate.
Like it or not, Cameron and his cronies – as well as pretenders such as Milliband – all need to come to recognise the truth as it now stares them in the face:
The British Empire really is dead and gone – and so is the respect that went along with it.
Instead, Britain has a new relevance; that of being one of the most spied-upon and state-controlled countries in the world (even more so than the US which has a constitution to prevent such things) and a country that most other states regard with ridicule and suspicion.
And in case anyone should be tempted not to believe such a thing, consider the following short list:
- Britain is now has more prisoners than any other western country of comparative population
- the UK has more life-sentenced and indeterminate prisoners than all the other countries in the EU put together
- the UK has the second biggest economy in Europe but some of the lowest wages
- Britain has a state education system that doesn't require the teaching of foreign languages despite being in Europe
- Britain has an acute housing shortage that no government is willing to address
- The UK has some of the highest consumer taxes in Europe
- …and of course, the UK has some of the highest public transport fares in the world after privatising everything in sight.
Britain, supposedly a 'democracy', also has a voting system that enables governments to claim power with only 25% of the vote, has a vindictive approach to anyone who is not in employment (regardless of the cause), has a population of which 20% cannot speak fluent English and a tax system that favours the rich but discriminates against the poor.
TheOpinionSite.org makes no apology for pointing out these realities, regardless of the fact that many Britons will not want to hear them, let alone do anything about them.
Sadly, it is the very fact that most people in this now soulless , vindictive little country are afraid to speak out that has put a once great nation where it is today. That and the fact that the British are a nation who love to be governed, in the hope that as individuals they will never have to take responsibility for their own failures and disappointments.
As Mr Obama prepares to go to war again, which he will almost certainly do, David Cameron can at least remain safe in the knowledge that he has gained some small measure of respect in not going against the will of Parliament and by not invoking the Royal Prerogative and recklessly joining the Americans as Blair did.
One would hope that he does not squander the limited respect he has gained by now finding an excuse to joining the US in an attack on Syria without first securing UN backing.
Had Tony Blair been in power, Britain and America would now already be at war.
Britain needs to realise that it is not the great player that it once was when it ruled the world; it is not a country which is envied in the modern world and the British are certainly not a nation of people who are respected.
Europe, Asia and even South America – now a real driving force in the world – look at the UK and wonder why it still has any relevance at all.
A European comment recently heard by the present writer which is particularly relevant went as follows:
"Why would anyone take any notice of Britain in today's world? The British are slaves to the Americans, have turned on their own people and now have the rare distinction of being the only emerging police state in the whole of Europe. As other nations seek to discard authoritarianism, Britain seemingly embraces it."
Whether one agrees with that sentiment or not, one cannot deny that more and more people are seeing Britain for what it really is today:
A country ruled by feminists and weak politicians, eager to please the mob and baying campaigners whilst subscribing more and more to American philosophies and doctrines, all in the hope that those in power may stay in authority for a little longer and feather their own nests at the expense of others.
"Rule Britannia"? Hardly. Those days are gone.
A time to recognise that there are enough problems at home without the need to interfere in the affairs of other countries? Certainly.
That is the reality of today's Britain as it struggles to come to terms with the fact that it is no longer a significant power in the modern world; a world that today lives for the future, not for the past and a world that has no need for a country suffering from delusions of grandeur and drowning in its own, now largely irrelevant history.

So out it came. Juicin. '04, '07, Manny, Papi. Without question, if they aren't in Boston those years, we get no hardware.
It's really important to begin with that statement so that people know I'm still sane… but honestly, Papi did steroids, and I'm cool with it. We all knew it already, kinda, when it took him a zillion plus games to hit his first dinger this year, and even if that wasn't a direct result of him stopping when ever he did, it was enough to introduce the suspicion and condemn him subconsciously… the irony of course being that we were all right.
But I'm not givin' back squat. I'm keeping my World Series trophies and I'm still rooting for Big Papi. Sure, if he was a Yankee, or Manny, or a pre-existing a-hole (or Rod), then ya, I'd freakin' hate him… but he isn't. He's a guy that has been universally loved by every member of the Nation and he and his wife Tiffany have been model community citizens. Big Papi is good for Boston and for baseball. Barry Bonds was a pre-existing a-hole and A-Rod is so despicable that the best thing we could say about him was "at least he isn't Bonds." (Now we can just hate them both regardless… which is nice.)
I'm cool with Papi because his equation still checks out. Whether or not you are one of the greats is a formula. Clemens was an a-hole (negative), but he was a dominating pitcher who mastered the mound (double positive). Clemens' equation before steroids checked out because even though he was an a-hole, he was also The Rocket. Introduce steroids and he's just some a-hole on drugs, his equation got thrown all out of wack.
Papi is a model citizen, involved with philanthropy and community, has a local business and a charming smile, helped bring 2 World Series trophies to Boston, blasted countless bombs on to Landsdowne Street and beyond, put smiles on the faces of MILLIONS of people and… ya, he juiced some. In an era when almost everyone was doin' it (please not you, Griffey… please), pitchers and hitters alike, Papi Juiced. And when I look at everything he's meant to the Sox, I'm square with it.
So go screw, Yankees fans; when you do it it's cheating, when we do it, it's just tryin' harder. And ya, I actually feel that way.

'Your Fave Is Problematic': How to Love Problematic Things (Or Can We?)
Last Tuesday morning I announced to my Facebook friends that I would be going to see John Mayer in concert and that I was excited. Instead of my friends joining in my excitement, I got reposes like: "You know John Mayer hates black people" and "well his penis does".
The "killjoy" has arrived.
These comments and others are just some of the responses I got when I first announced I bought these tickets back in September on Tumblr. All my fierce black revolutionary social justice tumblrs were like, don't know the terrible things he has said and done?
Of course I do. Of course I'm aware of John Mayer's problematic comments. For one, I am fan, and two I'm not oblivious to his comments. For anyone who isn't aware of the comments I'm talking about, his comments on the his racial preference when it comes to the opposite sex.
As a young black woman, I was disgusted. Though these were jokes, there is still this gross underlining racism that is still entangled in people who have "racial preferences" when it comes to dating. Right now these comments are almost 4 years old, and anyone who was following pop culture at the time knew that John Mayer was a PR disaster. Everything out of his mouth was just terrible. His personal life was messy, and as public figure it was for the world to pick and prod. This could lead anyone to have word diarrhea. Unlike you and me, we don't always get publicly outed and shamed for are comments. Unless your comments go viral, like Justine Sacco racist tweet that took the world by storm almost two weeks ago. Thanks to social media, it's easier to be dragged out online and for the world to see. You may even lose your job over things you post on the social media. Just ask Justine Sacco.
Now I'm not excusing for his comments or his past behavior. As a fan I'm aware and always conflicted. When our "favs" do something problematic or we supposed to stop supporting them or do we acknowledge that these people are just as flawed as us?
No one can really answer this question. I think of this Tumblr blog called, Your Fave is Problematic. A blog that calls out celebrities and lists everything wrong they've ever done (or at least what they've had done in the public eye). Blogs like this are educational because one, people can learn that the celebrities they look up are not God and that they are flawed just like you and me. And it makes you think twice about the people you idolize.
However one my biggest problems with blogs like this, is that now that you know everything wrong "you fave" has done. Now what? Your Fave tries to answer this question(s):
So according to this, I can still like John Mayer, but I can't come up with excuses for his behavior and as real fan I need to educate other fans on his behavior. Check, plus check.
Here is list of celebrities created by Your Fave is Problematic.
My second question however is, when does it become unforgiving to like something or someone?
I think of two major celebrities that have been in the news or blogosphere lately. R.Kelly's alleged exploits of being a sexual predator on teenager girls, was all over the news again. At first it was a bit weird that people were surprised of all the allegations he had against him. This is the same man who was married to singer Aaliyah when she was only 15. It's interesting how casually folks still bring this tad bit of information up, but people rarely question that this was a predatory move.
The general public tends to have a short term memory when it comes to our celebrities, especially when it comes to the abuse of women. For the first time in years R. Kelly is getting mainstream success, thanks for his collaboration with pop start Lady Gaga and his buzzworthy new album 'Black Panties'. He's hot right now. Now we can't deny that talent of R. Kelly, but is his alleged abuse of young black teenage girls enough to ignore because he is talented? Do we give him a pass and still support his music?
I ask the same about Ani Difranco. A popular singer songwriter whose music is seen as bible for many young queer feminists. In high school I was obsessed with her music, especially when I went through my acoustic guitar phase. Difranco and her fans are in hot water, after she announced on her Facebook page that she will be hosting her Righteous Retreat Song Camp next year at the Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana. Considered a feminist songwriting retreat, it frustrating to see another blatant example of "white feminism" excluding the intersectionally of what true feminism is about.
Yesterday, the controversy took to Facebook, as fans debated over the location of the event. Even one alleged fan defending the location. There's even allegations of a fan creating a fake account and posing as a black woman who agrees with the supporters of the location. From what I've read so far, there are a lot of messy allegations, but at the root of it all are that many people are upset with the choice of the venue. It has also bought to light the contemporary history of plantations being used as hotels and whether this is racially insensitive.
Ani Difranco has yet to issue statement, but it makes me wonder what will be her excuse that she or her organizers thought it was ok to have this suppose feminist gathering at a former slave plantation?
Here is another person I liked and at one point looked up too, and here they are doing something that I definitely don't agree with.
But as a fan, we acknowledge that the entertainers we like can and will be problematic. No one you truly like, love, or stan for will be perfect. Even Beyoncé has her slip ups. If we stopped liking every problematic thing, there would be nothing to like.

Nairns Mini Oatcakes are packed into a 200g box containing two individually wrapped trays with 24 mini oatcakes in each. They are small, measuring just 4.5cm (1.75") across and about the thickness of a pound coin.
They're described as 'Delicious bite sized oatcakes with a light texture and creamy taste, ideal for dipping or as a base for canapes'.
The good thing about oatcakes is that they are more satisfying than a regular wheat crispbread or cracker. This is partly because they're a lot chewier than most crispbreads, but also because of the oats they're made with. Oats are a slower releasing carbohydrate so keep you fuller a bit longer.
|Inside the Box
My kids are enjoying them as well, both for lunch or as an after school snack. I spread them with a bit of peanut butter or some thinly sliced cheese, a fat slice of tomato and sprinkled with ground black pepper. They're perfect with low fat cream cheese and cucumber for a satisfying snack at any time.
While they're low in sugar, they are high in fat, saturated fat and salt which is a real shame. This is mainly down to the palm fruit oil in the ingredients which, according to the box, does come from sustainable sources.
But they're also high in fibre and have no added sugar, no GM ingredients, no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, no wheat and no hydrogenated fat. They're suitable for vegetarians and vegans and are made with wholegrain oats.
Ingredients: Wholegrain oats (84%), sustainable palm fruit oil, sea salt, raising agent: sodium bicarbonate. Contains gluten and cannot guarantee nut free.
Nutrition Information per mini oatcake: 19 calories, 0.4g protein, 2.3g carbs, trace sugars, 0.9g fat, 0.3g saturates, 0.3g fibre, 0.07g salt. One mini oatcake has around 1GL.
Available in health food stores and some larger supermarkets.

The 2014/15 Real Madrid third kit, to be officially released on August 26, is eye-catching to say the least.
This new alternate uniform was created specially by award-winning Japanese fashion designer, Yohji Yamamoto, and unsurprisingly, it looks nothing like your average football kit.
The jersey, all black with white details, features two intertwined dragons sprawled across the torso. This motif – a symbol of power in some Asian cultures – is thought to be a tribute to Real's Champions League-Copa del Rey double last season.
This sleek number definitely bears the unmistakable mark of its designer. All three of Los Blancos' 2014/15 kits feature the same design template, which is notable for its round, buttoned collar. The inside of the third kit collar is inscribed with the Yamamoto's signature, while the club's crest has been given a splash of black and white paint to match the shirt's colour scheme.
The strip is completed by the familiar commercial presence of manufacturer Adidas – in its 17th straight season adorning the kit of Los Merengues – and Fly Emirates. Logos of both companies are in white, providing a striking contrast to the base colour of the shirt.
The shorts and socks are both black with white detail.
While this kit's inventive design may stop it from becoming an all-time classic, it's certain to provide a splash of glamour and intrigue to Real's away matches this season. Some may question the appeal of a dragon-themed third strip, but having recently captured La Decima, Madrid are entitled to proudly don this innovative uniform on the world's stage.
The Real Madrid third kit will be available in stores and online later this month, retailing at around €85 ($113). Check out Real Madrid's third kit for 2014/15

I am by no means a speed reader, but usually I can read a book in one day's time. Here are a few tips on how to finish a book by bedtime!
First, make sure the book is approximately 200-300 pages. Trying to read lengthy books like War and Peace (approximately 1 billion pages) will be impossible. But a short easy to read book like Catcher in the Rye can be done in a day.
Get comfortable. Make sure you are sitting in a nice chair, and you have some tea or coffee. A comfortable, quiet environment makes you more motivated to continue reading.
Second, don't try to read the book in one sitting. You will surely get bored, your eyes will get tired and you may stop paying attention.
Read the book in time intervals. For example, eat breakfast, then read, take a shower, then read, jump on the train, read, you get the idea!
Speaking of the train, commuting is the absolute perfect time to read a book especially if it's a long commute! Read the book on the way to work, during your lunch break, and on the way home and the book can be easily finished!

Lent is the most somber season of the Christian year. Every year on the first Sunday of Lent we hear the gospel story of Jesus being tempted by Satan in the wilderness.
And every year on this Sunday, we pray the prayer with which we began today: "Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save."
The gospel story and that prayer set the tone for the season. Like Jesus, we have to face our temptations. Unlike Jesus, we have to acknowledge our weakness in the face of temptation, our tendency to sin and failure. And, once again like Jesus, we can look to God and ministering angels for support to get us through. God truly is mighty to save.
Come Easter, we will celebrate the victory that Christ wins over sin and evil and death. Come Easter we will celebrate the grace and love of God that promise us a place in God's kingdom.
But before we get to the Easter celebration, we have to acknowledge the ways we fall short, the ways we separate ourselves from the love of God, the ways we obscure the image of God in us and fail to live as the people God creates us to be.
That is the great challenge of Lent: to open ourselves to the fullness of God's love by confessing and repenting the sin that stands in the way so that we can truly and authentically celebrate God's victory and experience the fullness of God's love.
At our Ash Wednesday service, the service that formally kicks off Lent, I invited those present to the observance of a holy Lent.
I extend that invitation again this morning.
"Dear people of God: The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord's passion and resurrection" in Holy Week and Easter. "It became the custom of the Church to prepare for [those days] by a season of penitence and fasting. This season of Lent provided a time in which converts to the faith were prepared for Holy Baptism. It was also a time when those who, because of notorious sins, had been separated from the body of the faithful were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness, and restored to the fellowship of the Church. Thereby the whole congregation was put in mind of the message of pardon and absolution set forth in the Gospel of our Savior, and of the need which all Christians continually have to renew their repentance and faith" (BCP 264-265).
The invitation goes on, and I will finish it. But first, notice that last line: "the need which all Christians continually have to renew their repentance and faith."
We all must continually renew our repentance and faith. Repentance and faith are not things we do once and then are done with. Repentance and faith are part of a way of life that is ongoing. If our faith is to remain a vital part of our lives, it needs constant renewal.
Our souls need to be fed more or less like our bodies need to be fed: regularly, often, and in a healthy way. Unfortunately, all too often we feed our souls with spiritual junk food. We feed our souls in unhealthy ways which damage the integrity of our faith. That is why we need to repent in an ongoing way as part of renewing our faith in an ongoing way.
Back to the invitation: "I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church" and in the name of God, "to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word."
The invitation to the observance of a holy Lent tells us how to renew our faith. It tells us what counts as healthy nourishment for our souls.
Ultimately, of course, faith comes as a gift from God. But there are things we can do to open ourselves up to God's gift. Self-examination and repentance. Prayer, fasting, and self-denial. Reading and meditating on God's holy word.
The list is not intended to be exhaustive. But the traditional spiritual disciplines remain the best way of nourish and renew our faith.
The discipline I want to emphasize for the rest of this sermon is self-examination.
We are using the alternate prayer of confession during Lent. But in the more familiar prayer of confession, the one that we say most weeks, we confess that we have not loved God with our whole heart, and we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We confess that we have sinned in thought, and word, and deed. We confess that we have sinned by what we have done and also by what we have left undone.
Since we say those words virtually every week, they can begin to just roll off the tongue, to become so familiar that they lose all meaning.
When that happens, self-examination is the best remedy. We ask the question, how have we failed to love God or our neighbor? What are our sins of thought or word or deed? What have we done? What have we failed to do?
We ask ourselves those questions, and we try to answer those questions. We answer them with as much specificity as we can manage. Only then, having consciously acknowledged our sins, can we humbly repent.
The point is not to wallow in our depravity. The point is to acknowledge the ways that we really do fail to live as the people God calls us to be. The point is to do better going forward. The point is to experience the love and forgiveness of God so that we can share God's love and forgiveness with others.
The invitation to the observance of a holy Lent ends with one more appeal. "To make a right beginning of repentance, and as a mark of our mortal nature, let us now kneel before the Lord our maker and redeemer."
I invite you now to observe a minute of silence for self-examination, kneeling or siting as you are able. . . .
In Christ's name. Amen.
Mark 1:9-15

For thousands of years various civilizations and cultures have been making use of wild plants for medical purposes. Some have proven more effective than others, but the fact remains that their popularity has never died off. Although scientists have been able to extract and improve on a number of molecules found in weeds, there is also belief that certain herbs work better when taken in their natural, unpurified form. Therefore supporters of natural plant based medications believe restrictions on drugs such as Cannabis should be lifted so that Australia falls in line with other countries such as the USA, who have much stricter drug policies than our own.
Historically we can see that Medical Weed may be an alternative option for those who wish to reject conventional western medicine. Here is some background information for some of the more commonly used plant based medicines from around the world.

Last week, the Texas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union launched a new app called ACLU Blue that allows users to record and share videos of interactions with police. When a user uploads a video via the new app, it will be reviewed and then posted to ACLU Blue's YouTube channel, where it can then be viewed by the general public.
Dione Friends, director of communications for the ACLU of Texas, said that the app is not only for negative encounters, but is also intended to highlight positive interactions as well. "When folks are doing it right, there's a lot of value in elevating that and saying, 'This is what model policing looks like,'" Friends said. "That helps make it more clear when something goes wrong."
The ACLU had previously released a similar app called Mobile Justice, which uploaded videos straight to ACLU lawyers for the purpose of sourcing legal advice. Friends said that while Texans wanted a version of the app, it wasn't feasible to roll it out in such a large state. "The hardest thing for us is that Texas is just so big," she said. "I didn't want to build something that would put a really big burden on our legal team."
With ACLU Blue, trained community members can help review videos online, removing some of the burden from ACLU staff. Friends also hopes the public sharing of the videos will help kick-start conversations about policing.
The app is currently only meant for use in Texas, but a national app is reportedly in the works. "Video is very powerful," Friends said. "It tells a story in a way that you can't really refute."

What They Say
"Without question, the two-year program is the best investment I've ever made in myself. Between the weekly groups, monthly coaching calls, second-level weekends, staffing opportunities and my leadership project … I have a community of brothers that I could have never assembled on my own. They've challenged me to move from living less in my self-reliance and living more from the lump in my throat."
"The like-minded men and excellent leaders helped me to 'reprogram' the outdated tapes in my head and change my unwanted behavior. I am closer to being the man I have always desired to be… Since then, I have taken on new leadership positions that I would not have accepted before. Today I am serving more people out of my 'sweet spot' and fulfilling my mission in life."
"My husband's involvement in the two-year program has helped to heal him as well as our marriage. He now understands that his judgments and reactions to situations…are the result of old messages, so he is far less likely to blame me. He steps into leadership more readily than he used to, and he seeks [out] his brothers for support in trying times. We are both so grateful for the marvelous work that The Crucible Project enables him to do and the network of friendship it has provided."

Hugh MacLeod is far from excited by the work coming out of the ad industry. That much we know. But what does excite Mr. MacLeod?
The Cluetrain wasn't written by a Leo Burnett employee.
Movable Type wasn't invented by McCann.
RSS wasn't invented by JWT.
Robert Scoble doesn't work for Fallon.
Techmeme wasn't invented by Saatchi.
Advertising people are supposed to be in "the idea business". But none of the ideas that have excited me in the last 5 years or so have come from Madison Avenue. Not one. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
He seems particularly excited by technology and its rapid advancement into our lives.
As for me, I'm more excited by the rise of eco-consciousness and the great potential green businesses have before them. I'm excited that Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes make The Allman Brothers Band sound the way they do. I'm excited when I catch a fish and later grill it to perfection.
If there's a point to this ramble, it's that advertising is work. I look for my inspiration away from work with the hope that it can later help fuel my work when I return to it.
That being said, there's no letting ad people off the hook for repeatedly turning in safe, totally irrelevant, pompous work. Idea people need to be entreprenurial. Sadly, widespread agency consolidation is stamping out creative cultures in favor of corporate cultures, run by bean counters not visionaries.
While I don't find RSS nor Scoble all that exciting, I do like that big ideas are coming from small teams and individuals. The ad biz can get its mojo back. The formula is rather pedestrian: Put small teams in charge of big projects, then get out of the way.

Step 1Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
Step 2In a large bowl, toss the squash, potatoes, parsnips and carrots. Drizzle one-third cup of olive oil on the vegetables and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and one-half teaspoon of pepper. Toss to combine.
Step 3Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet and roast them until they are barely tender, about 30 minutes, tossing halfway through for even cooking and coloring. Remove the pan from the oven and toss in the garlic, then roast until the vegetables are tender, an additional 10 minutes.
Step 4Meanwhile, line another baking pan with foil and place a baking or cooling rack on top of the foil. Lightly brush the fish fillets on both sides with olive oil and season each with one-fourth teaspoon of salt and one-eighth teaspoon of pepper. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each fillet, forming a wide band around the center and overlapping the ends on the underside of each fillet. Arrange the fillets on a rack, at least 1 inch apart, and roast until the fish is opaque, is firm to the touch and begins to flake, about 10 to 15 minutes. Do not overcook.
Step 5While the vegetables and fish are roasting, melt the butter over medium heat in a medium saute pan. Add the rosemary sprigs and reduce the heat to low. Cook, shaking the pan gently, until the rosemary leaves are just crisp and the butter begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, discard the rosemary and stir in the lemon juice. Set it aside.
Step 6To serve, place the fish on a platter or on individual plates and spoon the rosemary butter over the fillets. Surround the fish with the vegetables, garnish with lemon wedges and serve hot.

Lucy Luscobe
Sampler with black and white young lady friends
Dated 1809
Sampler inscribed: Lucy . Luscobe . Aged . 12 . March/ the . 1 . 1809.
Lucy worked this charming band sampler on a rather crude hand-spun linen background. The depiction of elegantly
dressed mirror image girls, one black the other white, the background fabric, and the (probably) misspelled last
name leads one to speculate that Lucy may have been the black girl depicted in the sampler. Although Lucy was a
fine needle worker she apparently didnt have access to expensive fabric or an extensive education. Who knows,
but the two girls were no doubt good friends.
Cotton and silk on linen; 20 ¾ x 7 sight.

2008 Penfolds Reserve BIN 08A Chardonnay
Subscribe to stock alerts
Please enter your email address to receive stock alerts for this product:
- Closure: Screw Cap
From its early releases Reserve Bin A was often assembled from the full-bodied, experimental components deemed unsuitable for the Yattarna style. However, with Reserve Bin A, Senior White Winemaker Kym Schroeter has enjoyed more freedom to explore chardonnay's stylistic boundaries, generally producing a more forward style of wine with a different expression to that of Yattarna.
Since its first vintage in 1994, Reserve Bin A has been sourced purely from Adelaide Hills fruit, from up to 80 vineyards and produced only when conditions are perfect. Reserve Bin A is notable for intense, elegant fruit flavours and distinctive complexity. Individual, fine-grained, French oak barrels have been selected for perfect integration, complexity, and fruit expression, producing an unmistakably rich wine.
Other reviews... Penfolds Reserve Bin 08A Chardonnay is so far ahead of the pack that when it cleaned up every other Chardonnay to win three trophies – and then every other variety to win the best wine of show – at the National Wine Show last year I knew precisely what it was long before it was announced. This wine nails that precarious balance between desperate purity, nervy acidity and pristine minerality on one side, and on the other, gorgeous complexity of roast nuts, white peach and grapefruit blossom. 97 points Tyson Stelzer, www.clearaboutwine.com.ausize>

As a tourist we are often in a rush to see as many sightseeing spots as possible in any city. We have less time, more to click, more selfies to take, more to absorb, more to tick off from our list. Though my travels are mostly unstructured and impromptu, I too do some of the touristy trips and one such trip was last year to Italy.
On a sunny afternoon enroute to Montecatini, in a group of 45 odd interesting fellow tourists, we halted at the world famous city of Pisa in Tuscany. Our lovely tour guide announced we have 45 minutes to see around. We were dropped off at the entrance of Piazza del Dumo. Well, yes even I was confused as every 'Square' in Italy is 'Piazza'. My excitement had no bounds as I came to know this Piazza houses the world famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, but only 45 minutes??
I knew it had to be a Marathon now. As I stepped inside the premises of the Piazza del Dumo, I was completely awed to see the Leaning tower from the entrance.
Apparently this is not the only monument in the Piazza. The square formerly called the Pizza del Dumo is known more popularly as Piazza dei Miracoli. There are four monuments in the Piazza, which are an example of brilliance of human engineering and are a part of World Heritage site under UNESCO: The four monuments are The Pisa Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Leaning Tower and the Camposanto Monumentale (Monumental Cemetery).
I started with the much obvious Bell Tower or Leaning Tower,. With the paucity of time, I decided not to climb up the spire but admire it from a shady vantage point. This lopsided tower was built over 199 years. The construction stopped after completion of its Third floor as the tower began to lean; and it resumed only after a century. There have been several attempts to correct the angle of the Tower and they say it leans lesser now, but if you ask me, its beauty and fame is only in its crookedness, so, we love it leaning, don't we?
Next I turned to the Pisa Cathedral. A rather unusual shaped facade, the doors were open. The entry is free, however a coupon for entry has to be purchased from the Ticket Office. It was the past the entry time and I had to make a compassionate begging to the Italian speaking officials to allow inside, and voila they did.
The interiors of the Cathedral blew me off as i was expecting something a little modest. But baby we are in THE Italy! This country has world's 60 percent of World Heritage Monuments and yes, they are exuberant and spendid.
The altar spelled grandiose with colors of gold and shimmer everywhere. What stole the limelight was indeed the ceiling which was very typical Italian and of the era where the Cathedrals were elaborately painted.
Awestruck walked out of the Cathedral with another 20 minutes left to return back to the meeting point. There was no time now to purchase tickets or wait in queues for other monuments. So walked around each mammoth structure.
The third monumnet was The Pisa Baptistery depicts the life of St John, the Baptist. I would rate it as one of the most unique building from the Architecture point of view. As the information displayed there said, what started being built as a Romanasque style structure, later got a Gothic dome which is the most notable feature in the Piazza. I couldnt go inside, however as I read on the web that the Baptistery is quite simple and unassuming inside.
The last of the monuments in this miraculous Square is the Monumental Cemtery or Camposanto. This is rather a very important monument historicaly. Legend has it that this was built around the same place where shiploads of sacred soil of Golgotha was brought where Jesus was crucified. This Cemetery later became the burial ground of the upper class and whos who of the region.
I read that the Cemetery has some rare paintings and is adorned by spectacular frescoes inside. This was surely a miss. And i would really want to come back to Pisa in a bit more relaxed time to view these monuments with some more ease and admiration.
However I would say 45 minutes wasnt bad at all. And as they say a high return on investment, isnt it!

PRINCETON, N.J. – Despite 16 points from Jeannie Boehm and a career-high 14 rebounds from Rachel Levy, the Harvard women's basketball team (14-11, 7-5 Ivy League) was narrowly edged by Princeton (18-9, 10-2 Ivy) 61-58 tonight, March 2, at Jadwin Gymnasium.
Junior Jeannie Boehm led the Crimson in scoring with 16 points tonight, while senior co-captain Madeline Raster followed closely behind with 12. Sophomore Rachel Levy posted a career-high 14 rebounds to guide the defense. Katie Benzan and Kelsey Bogdan each recorded two steals.
Princeton jumped out to an early 12-4 advantage to open the game, before Harvard scored three unanswered baskets to come within two. Despite a triple from Raster, the Tigers closed out the quarter on a 4-2 run to lead 18-13. Two quick buckets from Raster and Redford, along with a triple from Benzan, gave us our first lead at 20-19 to start the second quarter. The score would knot twice more in the closing minutes of the frame, before a triple from Skinner helped us to a 27-25 lead going into halftime.
Boehm began the second half dropping in two baskets to widen the Crimson's spread to four at 31-27. The Tigers' used a 4-1 run to tie the game at 33-33, until Levy and Boehm combined for nine points to give the Crimson the lead back at 44-41 at the end of the third quarter. The teams traded baskets to begin the final frame, as Harvard maintained a five-point lead through the opening minutes. Princeton knotted the score four more times up until 58-58, before scoring the final two baskets of the game to clinch the victory at 61-58.

Pets can suffer from the same skin problems that we humans do. From irritations and allergies caused by foods to more serious issues like eczema and dermatitis. Dr Zoo's Irritable Skin Cream is designed to help soothe irritated, itchy skin using edible oils and other soothing ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Chamomile and Colloidal Oatmeal, which is a well-known calming ingredient for pet's skin. This balm is ideal for applying to pet's itchy areas. We also use natural, concentrated extracts such as Centella Asiatica, for further calming. For the past four years, our customers have known first-hand the benefits of our cream and thanks to their word-of-mouth recommendations, we have been helping more and more pets.
What can you do if you have an itchy pet?
First, try to identify where your pet is itching most and see if you can identify the why or if there's is something triggering the itch. Then, talk to your vet. If you are a pet parent with an itchy pet looking for natural alternatives or if you are currently using anti-inflammatory or steroid creams and you want to try something natural, we recommend our Ditch the Itch Pack.
Please be aware that ingredient lists may change or vary from time to time! Please refer to the ingredient list on the product package you receive for the most up-to-date list of ingredients.
