Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but when it comes to Lord Varys, it's best served basting in its own retched filth inside a shipping crate that takes about as much effort to open as today's infernal clamshell packaging.
But like the digressive storylines and carefully plotted machinations of Game of Thrones, a significant portion of Varys' pleasure stems from the patience, scheming and countless other dealings required to see his design come to fruition. There's been a great deal of maneuvering early on in season 3, but now it seems ready for some kind of pay off. And in a series where there are precious few payoffs each season ('Blackwater' potentially being the biggest of the series so far), the patience of the audience is a must, so even a hint of larger developments can justify an initially slow pace.
'And Now His Watch Is Ended' is still mostly about maneuverings – Tyrion wants information on his sister's alleged involvement in the attempt on his life, so he goes to the one man who apparently knows everything and understands what it is to live as an outcast with a taste for revenge – but they feel like maneuverings that will amount to something far more personal than who is winning what unseen battle between the Lannisters and the King of the North. Frankly, Tyrion could not have chosen a better moment to have his discussion with Varys, as seeing the Spider unveil the sorcerer who "cut" him was as much a testament to the virtue of patience as it was to the power of retribution.
Meanwhile, Jaime and Brienne continue to be the most interesting odd couple in Westeros, as their situation has forced a fascinating shift not only in the dynamic between the two, but also a severe and remarkable turnaround for a man who previously prided himself on his backstabbing abilities and once shoved a child from a tower window after an improper dalliance with his sister.
Now the Kingslayer is but a shell of his former self, a one-handed swordsman who has spent the last year in a cage and in chains; in his mind, the list of reasons to carry on is probably pretty short. But, for his sake, Brienne is there to talk up the intrinsic worth of living life for the sole purpose of enacting revenge on those who wronged you. "One misfortune and you're giving up?" she asks, which is both her idea of a pep talk and an illustration of how unpleasant this world is when having your hand hacked off by a rapist with a bad goatee is considered but a "misfortune."
Retribution, or the promise of it, is such a potent throughline in 'And Now His Watch Is Ended' that it's almost jarring to see Margaery using her soft touch on the callous Joffrey in such a persuasive manner. After what must have been the Most Thrilling Day Ever, spent learning about the deaths of so many people who helped build and shape Westeros, Margaery establishes just how gifted she is in crafting a king by convincing a little tyrant he is loved by his people.
"Give them your love, they will return it a thousand fold," she tells him. Whatever winds up being the true cause of this public outpouring of support for Joffrey, it certainly isn't reciprocation of his love. In fact, Joffrey's rule (or the rule of any one man for that matter) is precisely what creates bands of men like the Brotherhood Without Banners and the now-rudderless crew of the Night's Watch. They're both the disenchanted made whole by a feeling of camaraderie, but only one group seems to have the wherewithal to attack that dissatisfaction with the status quo with something resembling honor and the pursuit of justice.
But without a doubt, the showstopper goes to Danaerys, who could really use it, as she's been so physically removed from the rest of the story that at times her character arc has almost felt like an afterthought. The episode makes up for that in spades, though, as Dany makes a huge move not only in terms of shifting some of the momentum regarding claim to the Iron Throne, but also as a character. Indeed, Dany gives an excellent example of the kind of ruler she's capable – or may soon be capable – of being.
It's fitting in an episode so laden with the notion of patience and revenge that Danaerys would wait until the last possible moment to establish just how foolhardy it is for anyone (Ser Jorah and Barristan Selmy included) to underestimate her. Now, with her army of willing Unsullied warriors, three dragons and two advisors skilled in the art of war, Dany can finally begin her journey toward the heart of the story.
Game of Thrones continues next Sunday with 'Kissed by Fire' @9pm on HBO. Check out a preview of the episode below:

City of Lincoln
Fire & Rescue Department
LFR Earns Accreditation & National Recognition
On August 25th, 1997 the Commission of Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) granted accredited agency status to five fire departments. Representatives from Lincoln, Nebraska; Tempe, Arizona; Greensboro, North Carolina; Naperville, Illinois, and Los Alamos, New Mexico received the awards at the International Association of Fire Chiefs annual conference in Dallas, Texas. Then Lincoln Fire Department Fire Chief Mike Merwick accepted the tribute on behalf of Lincoln citizens and all fire department personnel whom he credited with making accreditation a reality. Chief Merwick stated "It is honor to be one of the first fire departments in the world to achieve this status."
As the accreditation process has evolved over the years, the process has grown even more extensive with a large part of the process focusing on community risk assessment and efficient deployment of resources. The change of focus reflects the change in the fire service from the traditional role of fire response, to an all-hazards focus. The new process also reflects focus on community expectations both in terms of response and fiscal efficiency and responsibility.
The most recent accreditation award occurred in 2014 under Fire Chief John Huff. The department underwent an exhaustive evaluation by a third party peer assessment team. The team found the self-assessment completed by the department as well as the Standards of Response Coverage document to be credible. During this process the assessment team made specific and strategic recommendations to improve department facilities, procedures and processes. Lincoln Fire & Rescue has accepted these recommendations and has either accomplished the recommendations or placed them in the Capital Improvement Plan. This third party process is invaluable to the department providing a true and unbiased critical assessment of the organization.
In 2014 per CPSE, Lincoln Fire & Rescue submitted an Annual Compliance Report delineating continued compliance with the core competencies as defined by CPSE. In addition, LFR was able to show that programs and processes identified during the site assessment have been accepted.
Currently, Lincoln Fire & Rescue remains focused on maintaining the department accreditation status. The department recognizes the fact that being an accredited agency is a process that is ongoing. The process enables the department to identify strengths and weaknesses and encourages ongoing review of the delivery of services to the community. Lincoln Fire & Rescue utilizes the process to assist in the development of planning for acute and long term organizational improvement and ultimately the delivery of the best service attainable to its customers, the citizens of Lincoln.
Lincoln Fire & Rescue remains one of only 133 accredited fire departments worldwide. This is a tremendous accomplishment for the organization and a compliment to the community.

Sun Spot Analysis
This resource received an Accept or Accept with minor revisions rating from a Panel Peer Review process
These materials were reviewed using face-to-face NSF-style review panel of geoscience and geoscience education experts to review groups of resources addressing a single theme. Panelists wrote reviews that addressed the criteria:
- scientific accuracy and currency
- usability and
- pedagogical effectiveness
- Accept
- Accept with minor revisions
- Accept with major revisions, or
- Reject.
Following the panel meetings, the conveners wrote summaries of the panel discussion for each resource; these were transmitted to the creator, along with anonymous versions of the reviews. Relatively few resources were accepted as is. In most cases, the majority of the resources were either designated as 1) Reject or 2) Accept with major revisions. Resources were most often rejected for their lack of completeness to be used in a classroom or they contained scientific inaccuracies.
This page first made public: May 11, 2005
This material is replicated on a number of sites as part of the SERC Pedagogic Service Project
Learning Goals
- Learn about the past sunspot record.
- Graph monthly mean Greenwich sunspot numbers from 1749 to 2004.
- Read the graph and answer questions related to the graphical data.
- Learn how to download and install the Spectra software program
- Perform a Fourier analysis on the monthly mean sunspot record using the Spectra Program.
- Learn about Fourier frequency analysis
- Use the relation between frequency and period of a component of the signal.
Context for Use
Teaching Materials
- Sunspot Assignment in PDF format (Acrobat (PDF) 211kB Aug27 04)
- Sunspot Assignment in MS Word format (Microsoft Word 124kB Aug27 04)for possible editing.
Teaching Notes and Tips
- The activity takes approximately 3 hours to complete. Omitting the last part on spectral analysis would likely make it a 2-hour activity.
- Little background mathematics is required for this activity.
- Students should be familiar with using Excel to make an X-Y graph and with the concept of period and frequency of a sinusoidal signal.
- For students needing a refresher on using Excel Graphing with Excel (more info) can help refresh them.
- More information on related to using Excel and related links can be found at How to use Excel
The two graphs above show essentially the same thing. The graph on the right was made with Excel by importing the Text frequency data from the Text output Window of Spectra. The Spectra program does not allow you to alter the horizontal axis. We did not ask students to do this step in the assignment since they can read the numerical values from the graph or from the table, but you may want to use these two figures in a follow-up discussion.

Published July 1998,February 2011.
The whole number $6712$ has digits $6$, $7$, $1$ and $2$. Given any whole number take the sum of the digits, and the product of the digits, and multiply these together to get a new whole number; for example, starting with $6712$, the sum of the digits is $6+7+1+2=16$, and the product of the digits is $6\times 7\times 1\times 2=84$. The answer in this case is then $84\times 16=1344$. If we do
this again starting from $1344$ we get
$$1344\rightarrow (1+3+4+4)\times 1\times 3\times 4\times 4=576$$
and yet again
$$576\rightarrow (5+7+6)\times 5\times 7\times 6=3780$$
At this stage we know what the next answer will be (without working it out) because, as one digit is $0$, the product of the digits will be zero, and hence the answer will also be zero. Whenever a digit is zero, the next answer will be zero!
How often do we end up at $0$? Here is a case in which it doesn't happen. Start with $332$, then we get
$$332\rightarrow (3+3+2)\times 3\times 3\times 2=144$$ and $$144\rightarrow (1+4+4)\times 1\times 4\times 4=144$$
Thus if we reach $144$ we stay there however many times we apply this rule. We say that $144$ is fixed by this rule. Now try $233$; what does this go to? What do you notice about $332$ and $233$? What happens if we start with $98$? Can you find some other numbers that go to $144$?
There is another number that is fixed by this rule; it is $1$ (because the sum of the digits of $1$ is $1$, and the product of the digits is $1$ so, starting with $1$, the answer is $1\times 1=1$).
Now here is something interesting. We only know of one other number (apart from $0$) that is fixed by this rule, and $1$, $144$ and this other number are the only numbers that are fixed by this rule; such numbers are sometimes called SP numbers. What is this other number? You can find it for yourself, but to help you I will tell you that it lies between $110$ and $140$.
There are a few numbers that have the property that when we apply the rule repeatedly, we end up at $1$, $144$ or this other number (which by now you should have found). It seems that most numbers will eventually end up at $0$ when we apply the rule repeatedly, but again, no-one has yet proved this. Try some numbers for yourself and see if they end up at $0$. If you find something surprising, show your teacher because you may have discovered something that has never been noticed before!
SP Numbers Continued, published in October 1998, is a follow-up (much harder) article on this topic.

All that talk of Peeta vs. Gale and who's hotter and who should Katniss pick and blah blah blah — we seem to have forgotten about another sexy guy from the cast of 'The Hunger Games': Alexander Ludwig.
Ludwig recently got rid of his pesky shirt and picked up an adorable puppy for a new photoshoot for Abercrombie & Fitch. And really, there are few things as gratifying as looking at a hot, shirtless guy as he holds a cute, furry little friend. This tells us many things.
First, the removal of the shirt says, "Hey, I'm comfortable getting naked," which means he has confidence. Second, it says, "I am ripped. Look at this body and tell me I am lying." (He is not.) And third, by holding a cute animal, he's saying, "I am a sensitive man, and I like baby animals, which means I like babies. Say hello to your ovaries for me."
Ludwig played Cato, the male tribute from District 2 in the first 'Hunger Games' movie. Yeah, we'd fight to the death if we could hang out with this dude, too.

When a show about the walking dead on basic cable beats every network show in the ratings demographic that advertisers care most about, you have to wonder who the real zombies are.
A zombie, after all, is something that continues to roam, and tries to devour all in its path even though its natural life is over — a description that does not sound that far-fetched when it comes to broadcast networks.
During its run last fall, "The Walking Dead" was the highest-rated show among viewers 18 to 49, the most-sought age group, with a bigger audience than network winners like "The Big Bang Theory," "American Idol," "The Voice" and "Modern Family."
Now the zombies are back for the second half of the show's third season, and they continue to gnaw on everything in their path, including the broadcast networks' historical claim to being the only place to find a mass audience. Three weeks ago, the zombies owned Sunday night, attracting 7.7 million viewers in the 18 to 49 range, more than any broadcast show in the land.
It gets better (or worse, if you are a network). AMC has a spinoff chat show about zombies called "The Talking Dead," and even that is making waves. That same Sunday three weeks ago, "The Talking Dead" drew almost 2.8 million viewers ages 18 to 49, trumping NBC not just for the night, but for all of February.
Being a cable network, it's clear, is less of a disadvantage than it used to be, as broadcast networks become just one more click on a seemingly infinite dial.
A couple of things are at work here. For years, inertia kept viewers locked on the big broadcast channels, but these days, consumers are roaming omnivores, hunting down whatever has heat and water-cooler value. And network appointment viewing has given way to foraging and bingeing.
AMC, along with its studio partners, has always made sure that if someone wants to catch up with America's favorite zombies, or "Breaking Bad" or "Mad Men," two of its other hits, then past seasons are readily available — on demand, on Netflix or on iTunes. As a result, the audience for "The Walking Dead" is up 51 percent overall last year, and it is one of the most consistently talked about shows on social media.
It's worth noting that the gap between basic cable and broadcast television has gradually shrunk as satellite and telecommunications companies have joined the fray. There are about 115 million television households in America, and some 99 million of them have access to AMC. On the networks, old franchises are tiring, new efforts are flopping in record time and a show like "The Walking Dead," whose audience grew slowly and steadily over three seasons, is just not in the playbook.
"AMC sold the show to Netflix early, so when people started talking about it, it was there for the watching," said Alexia Quadrani, a media analyst at JPMorgan.
Last Thursday, I visited Josh Sapan, the chief executive of AMC Networks, at his office across the street from Madison Square Garden. You might expect him to be celebrating his zombies' success, but you'd be wrong. Mr. Sapan has been at AMC for 25 years and he is too superstitious to tempt the gods like that. As a collector of lightning rods — he has acquired more than a hundred, two of them on display in his office — he knows that sticking out has a cost.
"I would have put big odds against a cable show winning over network five years ago," he said. Still, he warns, "People's taste in what is popular can be very fleeting and short-lived. There is some alchemy at work here that is hard to diagnose and replicate."
"It's a big moment to those of us who are in the business," he added, "but I don't think the general public, especially young people, even think about where programming comes from."
The zombies have not devoured all Mr. Sapan's challenges. Even though advertising in the fourth quarter is up 16 percent over the previous year, earnings at AMC fell short of Wall Street estimates because of a costly fight with Dish Network and expensive outlays to service debt.
And he's right to give the American audience, a notoriously fickle bunch, a wide berth. Ask NBC, which went from first to worst this season in nothing flat. As my colleague Bill Carter pointed out, the peacock was on top of the pile in 13 of 15 weeks from September to December, according to Nielsen. Since then, it has dropped below not only its broadcast brethren but also Univision, the Spanish-language network.
"The Walking Dead" was actually NBC's for the asking in 2011. At a news tour for television reporters in January, Kevin Reilly, who is now at Fox but was a top programmer at NBC when the show was still up for grabs, talked about the one that got away.
" 'The Walking Dead' is an extraordinary thing," Mr. Reilly told reporters. "I bought the script at NBC from Frank Darabont. I developed it. I loved it."
But NBC was back on its heels at the time, and Mr. Reilly ended up letting it go. "I thought it was good, but it was an early draft," he said. "And then, when I left and I heard it went over to AMC, there was just a lot of serendipity involved."
In fairness, "The Walking Dead" would have never made it to network prime time in all of its gory glory because of broadcast standards. Not long ago, I was wedged in the back of an airplane and took solace by catching up on Season 3 on my iPad. The guy next to me was sawing into some meat of unknown agency and looked over at my screen, where a pack of zombies were lustily feasting on human innards. "Really, dude?" he asked. "Zombies?"
AMC is also home to "Breaking Bad," where a former science teacher turned meth chef has been known to use chemistry to dissolve the bodies of people who got in his way. Think about the box that the broadcast networks are in. Audiences expect spicy and sometimes dark narratives, but because the networks are still in the business of not offending mass audiences, they cannot even grab a hit when it comes lurching through the door. And A-list actors who used to demand that their work show up on the big networks are now after their agents to get them onto a prestige cable show.
"The talent which used to complain about being on something like AMC now want to be where good stories are being told," said Rich Greenfield, an analyst at BTIG Research. "All around, it's a very seismic change in the television industry."
It's programming that rules now, not platform or position on the dial. I watch all kinds of AMC shows and I couldn't tell you what channel on the cable box they live on — even if a zombie were after me.

That depends on several things. Is your transmitter/receiver capable of variable speed commands? Is it the standard R/C servo PWM type? If it is, you can connect a standard R/C car variable speed drive to it.
you may want to invest in a decent R/C car from a hobby shop....... Or is there a particular reason you have to stay with this car - like a robot contest?
you could look at (research) using a resistor at the drive motor. Starving the motor of current might slow it enough... and for pennies.but it wastes battery energy . . .

bluemoon72 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 93 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Looking for a logo that successfully communicates the concept of a success team, which is a group of people who come together in facilitated sessions to help each other find and follow their dreams.
I would like a logo designed for Twin Cities Success Teams, an official Sher Success Teams program (see http://www.shersuccessteams.com for more information).
I put together a place-holder logo, which you can see here:
(This makes it obvious why I need a graphic designer to do the logo!!! :)
Here are some basics about Success Teams; hopefully this will help you in the design process:
A SUCCESS TEAM is a small, ongoing group, made up of about 6 people like you. The people on your team will help you make your dreams come true. Why? Because you're going to do the same thing for them. Your team will keep you moving until you discover and achieve your dream.
A SUCCESS TEAM meets with a faciliator once a week for eight weeks, then on their own every week after that until everyone's reached their goals. It will help you figure out what you want, and design a plan of action to get it. It will get you information and contacts and support week after week.
And that's the magic secret. That's why SUCCESS TEAMS work where other systems don't. Wishes and dreams need a lot of friends, because it takes more than desire to make a wish come true. You need ongoing, sustained effort over an extended period of time. You need support and encouragement when times get tough, and you run into the inevitable interruptions, setbacks, and fears that are part of every journey to the top. (You can't find a teacher; somone important cancels an appointment to see you; the bank turns down your loan application...) You'll run into obstacles that seem insurmountable. (Your family doesn't think you should be out earning a pilot's license; you run up against some unforeseen medical bills; you send out 25 manuscripts...and get 25 pink slips in return.)
But you'll meet with your team every week, and they will keep you going. They'll brainstorm new solutions to new problems; they'll introduce you to a cousin who works at NBC; they'll go with you to that important interview, and wait downstairs and buy you a beer when you're through. You'll work on your dream the same way you worked your way through school: by showing up and reporting in. You had certain small assignments you had to complete one at a time; you had the companionship and the encouragement that humans need.
That support is what makes the difference between success and failure: not your attitude, your mantra, or your toothpaste; just lots of ongoing help.
- Something warm, friendly, and welcoming feeling.
- Something that invokes a sense of community, whether with images or just with colors used.
- Perhaps something having to do with the Twin Cities, maybe a skyline image or something? For those outside of the United States, the Twin Cities are the metro area of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.
- Basically, I trust you pros out there to come up with something great, and I will be happy to see all the creative approaches to this logo contest!
I don't want anything too complicated or fussy. We will be having a fun, friendly time in our Success Team meetings, and so I don't want anything extremely formal, either.

Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey took another step toward a seemingly inevitable return on Oct. 14 by participating in practice Tuesday.
"Just out there, running routes, catching the ball, getting in a little practice,'' Heyward-Bey said. "We've got a plan for me. Today was step No. 1, and I feel pretty good.''
Heyward-Bey was knocked unconscious on Sept. 23 against the Pittsburgh Steelers by Ryan Mundy and also suffered a neck strain when he hit the ground. He was taken from the field in a motorized cart.
Asked if he was 100 percent, Heyward-Bey said, "I took a hard hit, man. I don't know. (I was) good enough to practice.''
Teammate Derek Hagan was happy to see Heyward-Bey back for a position group which has had its issues with injuries.
"It definitely was a plus for us just to have the whole group out there healthy going into the bye week,'' Hagan said. "That's the main thing going into the bye week you want everybody to be healthy and focusing on the job they have to do.''
Despite the lopsided nature of a 37-6 loss to Denver, Heyward-Bey believes the offense is close to breaking loose.
`We're real close. We're one cut block away, we're one cut away, one block down the field,'' Heyward-Bey said. " We showed a little bit of it against Pittsburgh and we had a little bit here and there. You just have to keep grinding. If you give up on things you'll never see if it's good or not.''
— Ranked No. 2 in the NFL in rushing in 2010 and No. 7 in 2011, the Raiders are ranked dead last through four games with an average of 60.8 yards per game.
It's less than half of the 131.9 yards per game Oakland averaged a year ago.
"It's not where you want to be,'' running back Mike Goodson said. "We've got a lot of competitors in here and it's not sitting right with guys. We're definitely out there working.''
— Cornerback Shawntae Spencer (foot) and tackle Khalif Barnes (groin) did not practice and remain out indefinitely.
— The Raiders practice again Wednesday, and then are off through Sunday. They return to work Monday and take another day off before preparations for Atlanta begin in earnest.

Pussy Riot Girls Aren't the First Artists to Fight the Power
"Pussy Riot": a Russian feminist punk band convicted and sentenced to prison for publicly denouncing, through their music, Russian President Valdimir Putin. It proves that art can challenge political power. Artists are inevitably on the frontlines of that conflict between power and expression. History is littered with examples like Pussy Riot, of artists exiled, imprisoned, or tortured for criticizing authority and official policies of their leaders. Here are just a few examples.

If I thought it was hard to take pictures when I was pregnant ( you know the whole "gather up the energy, put make up on, wash my hair, possibly style my hair, put clothes on, go somewhere pretty to take pictures), well it is twice as hard trying to get a good picture with Alexis in tow. I still have to do all the preparations listed below, all while she's hopefully sleeping, then pray for good mood on Alexis' part, so that all the pictures didn't look like this
And even when she's in a good mood, how on earth do you get a 2 months old to pose? You don't! So you take a million shots hoping that at least in ONE of them she's going to look decent in and you don't have a closed eye or busy shushing her. It's even harder with Alexis because she tends to make all kinds of faces that might look cute in real life, but definitely don't when they're frozen on a photograph.
So nowadays, I have to be content with 1 photo out of about 100 that looks good. And after yesterday's Mommy and Me shoot, this is The Photo:
I think the result is decent considering yesterday was a fussy day!
We're both wearing a Mommy and Me set from Boob Design, my absolutely favorite item in their store. If you've been reading my blog since I was pregnant, you're aware of my undying love to this brand. I think they have the cutest maternity clothes and absolutely THE BEST nursing wear on the market. They just opened their US store which makes it impossible for any pregnant or nursing woman to resist buying something. I wasn't planning on running another Boob giveaway, but after numerous requests from readers, I finally have it ready. So enjoy! It's open internationally and anyone who's pregnant or nursing or planning on becoming pregnant or has a baby can enjoy Boob Design clothing. I also have a DISCOUNT CODE if you plan on purchasing something. It's 20%OFF any purchase except for Outlet and it's valid till April 12th. Use BOOBDESIGN-APRIL-20% code to get the discount.
Some of the other Boob items that I have:
So for those who aren't familiar with Boob Design ( and note: this is not a review, I just love them this much), their nursing dresses, tees and tanks have a special pocket that opens up without exposing your belly so you can breastfeed in public without the darn cover-up. They are definitely my prefered online retailer of nursing clothes. I've nursed in Boob tees in public and it's a breeze!
It's funny that I had to nurse Lexi during the shoot, but it looks damn good, doesn't it? You open the top pocket and latch the baby on- VOILA! No boob hanging out 🙂 Most items are made out of organic cotton or lyocell and are very nice to touch and are very stretchy ( which is a key to baby onesies, because Alexis has developed hatred of clothes going over her head, so I have to stretch the neck to make sure it doesn't touch her face as I put it on)
So here are a few other photos taken that I am somewhat ( but not fully) happy with.
This was taken after the shoot, while I was putting Alexis to sleep in the stroller (more on that later)
BUY IT: Use BOOBDESIGN-APRIL-20% code to get a 20% off discount until April 12th.

text: Same rules as before. Name a band or artist who has a name that begins with the same letter that ends the name of the band or artist of the previous poster. For example: If the band I name is "Guns N Roses", then the poster who followed me would pick a band name that begins with an "s", like perhaps "Spinal Tap". The person who follows "Spinal Tap" would name a band that begins with a "p". And so on, and so on. A few simple restrictions to keep in mind: the band or artist name you pick must begin and end with a letter from the English Alphabet. No numbers or symbols, please! Also do your best to not repeat band names on the current page of the thread you are on. Also, please take turns with other players. Please do not make post after post tacking on to your own posts in succession. Ok, I will prime the pump! My band name is: Pink Floyd

Push to whittle super shires down to local size
A proposal has been made to replace the super shire structure of local government in the Northern Territory.
As part of their election campaign, the Country Liberals promised to reconsider the future of the shires, saying they were failing people in the bush.
Local Government Minister Adam Giles has released a proposal that involves replacing the eight super shires with regional councils.
He says these councils could be backed by local authorities made up of representatives of one or more communities.
Mr Giles says it too early to say how many councils would be needed but local people would take part in the decision-making process.
"It is up to the consultations to determine where people think their best boundaries are," he said.
"The regional council structure will be smaller than a shire; it will be a new model of regional governance."
There is also a longer-term proposal to have other stakeholders like miners and cattle producers involved.
Independent MLA Gerry Wood says the proposal sounds bureaucratic.
"If we go on grand plans, we start to lose the essence of what local government is about," he said.
The Government says consultation with 70 communities will start this week.
The Opposition has welcomed the decision to consult widely before replacing super shires in regional and remote areas.
Shadow Minister for Local Government Lynne Walker says it is an opportunity for ministers, including Mr Giles, to connect with the community.
"While think that obviously there'll be government officers at these consultations. I think, importantly, members of the Government need to be out there," she said.
"I'm talking about ministers; I'm talking about the new parliamentary secretaries."
