So, you're one of the 50,000+ plus spectators set to attend The Red Bull Air Race World Championship at TMS Sept 26-27. That means a few things. You are about to see the world's best pilots race while controlling their planes with surgical precision at low altitudes, at speeds approaching 230 mph, and you'll be seeing this one-of-a-kind motorsport at the best motor speedway in the world, if you don't mind us boasting.
Texas Motor Speedway is well known as one of the best places in the world to watch an auto race, but you may be asking yourself; "Just how does TMS host a race in the sky?" Well here are some facts about TMS that are sure to get you psyched for a uniquely exhilarating event like Red Bull Air Race.
Texas Motor Speedway is the second-largest sporting venue in the United States (behind only Indianapolis Motor Speedway) and is the sixth-largest sporting venue in the world. This allows Red Bull Air Race planes enough room to maneuver while being able to comfortably host tens of thousands of spectators.
The front grandstand is constructed of 2 million pounds of aluminum and 15,000 tons of steel. The aluminum used could produce over 61 million Red Bull cans... that's a lot of wings!
Texas Motor Speedway is home to "Big Hoss"– the World's Largest HD LED Video Screen. Positioned in the middle of the backstretch above "Burnout Alley," Big Hoss covers 20,633.64 square feet of space. The state-of-the-art video board has a Guinness World Record for the world's largest HD LED video board and is 79 percent larger than the video board at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. So be sure to look to Big Hoss for shots you won't be able to see from the stands, including unique vantage points from GoPros from mounts on the wings and in the cockpit of all Air Race planes.
TMS has enough permanent lighting to illuminate 11 NFL stadiums — an average of 2,000,000 watts for a nighttime event. We'd like to thank Red Bull Air Race for making this a daytime event and keeping our electrical bill somewhat reasonable!
In one year, enough hot dogs are sold at TMS to go around the 1.5-mile oval track six times, that's nine miles. Be sure to grab a dog at Red Bull Air Race and help us make it an even ten!
There are only eight Red Bull Air Race stops, and it's no shock to us that Texas Motor Speedway is one of them. It simply comes down to size. TMS is HUGE. With enough room for planes, fans, hot dogs and whatever else Red Bull can throw at it, the speedway offers fan and pilot experiences like no other venue. If you've already got your tickets great! If you haven't, be sure to get them now at redbullairrace.com/fort-worth-2015.

It's taken less than two months for Kyle Busch to show us he will be a serious player in the 2015 Chase for the Sprint Cup. After missing the season's first eleven races with a broken leg and foot suffered at Daytona, Busch had a slow start. But ever since a late June run on the road course at Sonoma he's been the hottest driver in NASCAR, and shows no signs of slowing down ahead of the AAA Texas 500 on November 8.
Busch started his streak with an unexpected win in the Toyota/Save Mart 350. It started a run we haven't seen in nearly a decade, winning four-of-five races including three in a row. It tied him for the season lead in wins and satisfied NASCAR's first requirement for Busch to make the Chase.
Next, Busch had to climb to the top 30 in points, a tall task after missing nearly one-third of the season. But in just eleven races he has done just that, cracking the top 30 after a second place finish at the other Sprint Cup road course, Watkins Glen. He must stay in the top 30 to gain a Chase spot, but with an average finish of 13th it shouldn't be a problem.
Having Kyle Busch in the Chase is exactly what NASCAR needs. He's certainly not the most popular driver and for many is the most hated. But that's a good thing, having a nemesis for your favorite driver. Every pro wrestling match has a heel that the crowd hates. NASCAR can benefit in the same way. No Dale Jr. or Jimmie Johnson fan wants to see Kyle Busch bowing to them at Texas Motor Speedway in November.
Now there's no guarantee that Busch will still be alive in the Chase come November. There are two rounds of eliminations before race number eight in the Chase. However, Busch has never looked more focused than he does this season. Having his career nearly taken from him with February's crash, and having a baby in May seem to have grounded the driver they call "Rowdy".
Whether he's a championship contender or not we know that Kyle Busch will be a contender on the track in three months at Texas Motor Speedway. His history here is remarkable with eleven wins, including a record seven in the XFINITY Series. He swept the April weekend in 2013 and took a shot at sweeping the November triple-header in 2014, winning in the Trucks and the XFINITY Series. Love him or hate him, be prepared to make some noise either way for Kyle Busch in the AAA Texas 500 on November 8.

We're at summer's halfway mark which means we're a little more than two months away from the return of the world's fastest motorsport series at TMS. The seventh stop of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship flies into town the weekend of September 26-27 and tickets are still available starting at just $29.
Weren't able to make it last year? Even if you did, let us give you 10 reasons to stop by again this year.
1. SPEED- Witness the world's best race pilots as they navigate a low-level aerial track made up of air-filled pylons 80 feet high at speeds of up to 230 mph.
2. MEET THE PILOTS- Get an up close look at the pilots, planes and crews to see all the work that goes on during race day. Tickets with hangar viewing from the lawn start at $39 for the day, $59 for the weekend.
3. FEEL WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FLY- Experience Red Bull Air Race from inside the cockpit with an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. Kiosks will be set up in the consumer activation area outside of TMS on Saturday and Sunday.
4. SEE A HELICOPTER FLY UPSIDE DOWN- We're not sure how he does it, but stunt helicopter pilot Chuck Aaron will be on hand to put on a gravity defying exhibition full of backflips, 360-degree rolls, and a heart stopping tumble called the "Chuckcilvak".
5. ROOT FOR KIBRY- Kirby Chambliss will be looking for Texas-sized support as the Corpus Christi native tries to top the podium in his home state.
6. KIDS 12 AND UNDER GET IN FREE- Red Bull Air Race is officially a family affair with children 12 and under able to enter for free (max two children per adult).
7. GET CLASSY- Watch the race from the Sky Lounge, an elite hospitality area offering the finest possible race experience including premium grandstand seating, international cuisine, complimentary bar, as well as high-quality video screens and sound system so you don't miss any of the action.
8. PHOTO FINISH- Right now only five points separate the top three pilots in the season standings. The Fort Worth stop will go a long way in determining who will be crowned champion at the final race of the championship in Las Vegas.
9. THE PLANES, THE PLANES! - It's not every day you get to see Zivko Edge 540s, MXS-Rs and Corvus Racer 540s up close and personal, a real treat for aviation nuts and gearheads alike.
10. PYLON POPPING ACTION - There's nothing quite like seeing the wing of a plane slice through the Red Bull Air Race specially designed inflatable pylons at rapid speeds.

We are just learning about the death of Mr Dapo Osewa, popularly called Dapxin, a long-standing foundational member of NVS and major member of the site's technical crew.
Mr Osewa was a fierce patriot and firm believer in the future of Nigeria, a frequent online contributor, and he deployed his technical prowess to help build online sites like NVS, Sahara Reporters.
Aged 31, Dapo was born in Akure, the capital of Ondo state. He attended the Federal University of Technology Staff Secondary School, Akure, graduating in 1998. He later obtained a National Diploma in Electronics at Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti. In addition, he earned a diploma in Information Technology from the University of Pretoria.
In 2003, Dapo became a certified Microsoft engineer before heading to Huddersfield University in London where he completed his studies for a degree in law in 2011.
Before his death, he worked for the UK national archives as a linux system administrator and data capture specialist.
A few of Dapo's articles can be found in the link below
Testimonies on Dapxin's Facebook page and other places confirm how much impact this quiet hero made in the lives of people around him during the short time he was here.
May his Gentle Soul rest in peace and May God console the family.
Rudolf Okonkwo
Dap Xin was my Facebook friend. That was all I knew about him. He asked to be my friend and I accepted. Over time, I noticed that when I wrote something he would read it and find a paragraph he considered important. He would take it and place it in an electronic marble. And then he would blast it on his status page. It happened again and again. Unconsciously, it became one of my measures of whether I said anything important each week. I looked forward to seeing what he considered quotable. Some weeks he would place nothing on the marble, others he would. I understood. A few weeks ago, I noticed that I had not received any updates from him - nothing on the marble – not mine and not someone else's. I decided to visit Dap's Facebook page. I saw messages left for him by friends asking him to rest in peace. He passed away weeks before. His real name was Dapo Osewa...
I hate to know that Dapxin is dead! This guy has touched so many lives,he touched mine too, he was selfless. He spent an incredible amount of time talking to me about SaharaReporters. He taught me how to resize photos-plenty of them at once, he spoke goofily about the new media. And how it will change the world. He made predictions that have come to pass.
It is unbelievable that Dapxin is dead. I take a lot of painful decisions, I report painful things every day, but this is just too much. It is worse because I never knew he was gone until today. I feel extremely terrible about the demise of Dapo Osewa.
Very sad to learn that a friend Dapo Osewa Dap Xin died on August 13. I met Dapo on Nigeria Ngr VillageSquare many years ago. There was something about his punch comments online. Very friendly fellow. He has one of the highest number of comments on my blog and showed so much support to my writing. He promised me he would buy a copy of my book when it is finally released. Now he is gone. I will miss him. May his soul find rest. Amen!

I remember Dapxin very well from our many interactions on NNS, and it is sad to hear of his passing. May he rest in eternal peace, and may the almighty Allah grant his family the strength to bare this irreparable loss.

REST IN PEACE DAXPIN(Dapo Osewa)
A very tragic and unfortunate loss! May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. And I hope and pray that those of us behind would have the courage and wisdom to carry out his dreams and aspirations. I sympathize with his parents and family. May the Almighty God give them the strenght to bear the loss. What was the cause of his death at such a young age?
I have just been wondering where the following villagers are too: Tony, Felix, Iyalata, Son of the Delta, Uglyman and brother Teslim Anibaba? I haven't read/heard from them for some time.

@First Lady,
This is not the place to post unfounded speculative linkages of anonymous posts with real-life tragedy. In respect to the loved ones of the deceased, your last two posts will be removed. If you have confirmed information, please feel free to share.

Ajibs posted on 09-07-2012, 09:54:29 AM
I saw this yesterday and was STUNNED.
I suspected Dapxin was into technology due to his interest in IT and communications. He kept the Main One thread going for I believe over a year with updates. I did not know him outside our interaction in the village.
This is simply devastating. What could be the cause of his passing at such a young age?
Dapxin, Rest in peace.
On a side note, it recently disturbed me on the "facelessness" that "avatars" provide us on the site. There are people in the village with whom we discuss daily for years, almost over a decade now, but only know them by "avatars" and ID's and in cyberspace until a tragedy like this occurs. That is one reason why I personally decided to change that a few months ago.

Quite shocking. A young man full of life cut short in his prime.
I hope his loved ones left behind will find the courage and strenght to move on in his premature absence.
Re: DapXin Has Passed On
First-lady posted on 09-07-2012, 11:12:49 AM
It is very tragic
Real people with real emotions and real needs
dapxin's poems were a window into his soul,another poster already said this.
Looks to me like a young man crying out for help
His writings told a story of deep despair and pain and hope and hopelessness
I have learned a lesson in his death and that is always to seize the moment
Seize the moment !
Re: I Hope it's not Our Own Dapxin?
First-lady posted on 09-07-2012, 11:17:57 AM
I would really like to know as anyone who read my deleted posts can well imagine
There are people here who know him well
Does anyone know the cause of death?
He was only 32 and we did not read of any illness from all the commentators in all the web links posted
Every tragedy like this just like shiny's accident is an opportunity for us the living,to learn something.
Seize the moment!

I requested a refund,but they refused saying that because they no longer have physical possession of the merchandise and,therefore,cannot do anything unless and until I pay the "Tariff".Because they were NOT honest from the beginning,I was too reluctant to pay anything else as they would then also come up with another story asking for even more money after that,so I did not pay anything more as they'd most likely also keep that,too.They no longer return or acknowledge my emails nor respond to me on their website after I login. [continued below]....
It seems very apparent to me that the company claims that other customers have cheated them that they now require to have payment by Western Union or Money Gram because they know that once the money is sent and received it's then too late to be able to get any refund at all and Western Union will not refund anyone at all no matter what.This is what Regardsale depends on-customers not knowing in advance and trusting them only to learn the hard way.It's now been 2 years since and so far,at this time,nobody is will to help.
I have called their office by phone respectfully requesting a refund and they tell me to call back and ask for a certain person who seems to never be there which is a kind way of saying "go away now that we have your money".I have tried many avenues to resolve this and never get anywhere.If you send them any amount of money then consider it as a gift to them because you'll never gain anything from it or receive any refunds.DO NOT DO BUSINESS/SEND THEM ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR ANYTHING BECAUSE YOU WILL LOSE IT-100% OF IT!

I'm starting my own challenge, and starting up a blog: http://100pounds100dollars.blogspot.com
This is something I've been asking people for help with for several months, but now I've decided to just challenge myself to go for it and try to lose the weight in a healthy way, NOT a diet, a lifestyle change, cut my grocery bill, and blog about it.
I was inspired last week by a friend who told me about the All You grocery challenge. There's a link to it in my first blog post, scroll to the bottom. Basically it starts on June 20th and goes for 4 weeks, and the challenge is to keep your grocery spending to less than $25 per household member per week for 4 weeks, blog about it, and you're judged on creativity and originality and how healthy it is. The top prize is $1,000! I am going for it!
And even if I don't win the $1,000, I'm going to keep up my blog just to give me something to motivate me to keep up the weight loss, get more creative, and stay healthy. We have got into a rut with our eating lately that we need to get out of.
So I'm asking for your help: I need recipes, tips, and advice, on how you cook healthy and stay in your budget, stay creative, and please picky eaters. If I quote you on my blog I'll post your username (if you don't want me to just say so). My email is firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you so much for all of your help!

Please go to this link (((link redacted))) . And read about this company , .they are clear facts about their scam's and they still continue the Complet deception of posting false results and projection of making profit per trading day .Also giving false statements .. on their web site and misleading people like they maiking money
I have read loads of stories on Andrew Barnett. He was involved with TI - Traders International now it is called Goldrock.. below is one of the many quotes I have found on him. He is just a sales man making as much money as possible out of innocent people who believe in him.. There is always a catch trust me Andrew Barnett is not offering anything for free, he is hoping you will sign up and part with several thousand dollars at the time. [continued below]....
Andrew Barnett has no knowledge of trading he is a salesman and the nearest thing to a con man that I have witnessed in my life. Jimmy Polydoris programmed a signal for T.I called the JTI, it was an unmitigated disaster.
Do you really think these men know anything that you'd want to learn?
The directors at LTG GoldRock have indeed had a long association with Halifax, going way back to when they were running Traders International (TI). One would need to look no farther than the partner tab of Halifax's website http://www.halifax.com.au/gp/partnerprogram.asp to see why LTG likely chose them. The following statement leaps out of the page:
'we provide the highest introducing broker clearing rebates than any other provider in Australia'
In simple terms, they claim to provide the greatest kickbacks to introducing companies like LTG on their client's brokerage. For every dollar in brokerage you pay, LTG receives a cut of up to 30%. This extra money has to come from somewhere, and you'll probably find it comes from paying higher brokerage or spread than you can find elsewhere.
As stated, the LTG directors have been dealing with Halifax for many years. Prior to Halifax establishing its own clearing arrangements for futures markets in April 2009, TI used Halifax as an intermediary for the transfer of monies to U.S. based brokerages. When the LTG directors were running TI, they recommended clients use Chicago based Alaron as their broker, and clients funded their accounts via Halifax.
At some point Alaron outsourced its clearing arrangements to Preregrine Financial Group. You can read what happened at PFG here or elsewhere http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_Financial_Group. In summary, the chief executive embezzled its clients funds. Had you followed the recommendation of TI at the time it was run by Andrew Barnett and Peter Elsworth and started up an account with Alaron via Halifax, then in July of this year your account would have been frozen and you'd have lost most or all of your funds.
The other broker that LTG GoldRock has recommend their clients use is Gain Capital. It is now common knowledge that In October 2010, Gain Capital was fined by the National Futures Association for allegedly engaging in margin, liquidation and price slippage practices that benefited Gain to the detriment of its customers. They were fined $459,000 for that offence.

It means that LTG, that same mob who claim to have everyones
best interest at heart, do not simply operate one web site but (according to
the records) currently own 39 websites (domains). Most of those are used for
advertising and various spamming.
But I find the earlier figure of 323 registered sites to be the most telling. 323 sites. They ain't no mum and dad outfit running a business website to support their customers. Even before they left traders International, note that they had already registered a forex related domain.
Makes you wonder about the
ethics there??!!
323 sites. A targeted, motivated internet marketer, playing up to peoples' gullibility. Pity about the rubbish results. Three and a half years now. Not one of them profitable. But they don't care. They've got all their websites pulling in more punters.
With this report is self explanatory what this scam is all about and ow operates .

LTG results reports which in most cases were cooked !
AUTHOR: RH - (Australia)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, November 13, 2012POSTED: Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Ignoring the 2009 recorded results - which from
memory were cooked (ie if they scaled out 33% of position at a 30 pip profit
target and the market moves back and takes out remaining 67% of the position at
a stop (usually at the trade entry price point) they still record the full 30
pips as the profit from the trade. The more accurate representation would be to
record the full loss and 33% of the profits when scaled out.)
2010: If you survived the first 6 months, net signaled result ended up being recorded at 479 pips, or average of 40 pips per month. Am not sure what by Vid-Saver">money management method would enable one to make a reasonable living from that
2011: -136 pips for the year. I know it's not just the pips that determine the outcome, but still remains a pretty decent place to by Vid-Saver">start!
One can only assume that when the fine folk at LTG have built up their own bank to an adequate level they will procure the best trader going around and turn this all around, or retire. Or move on to their next venture to separate innocents from their money.
Don't forget that the results were artificially
inflated by recording the gap trades (which LTG call the Phoenix to make it
sound like its a trade that they invented) in with the trading room totals.
With these they chose not to take into account the high spread that occurs when
the market first opens, or the fact that it is nigh impossible nor even
advisable to enter 10 trades at once.
The trading room itself made 774 calls which were SMSd to subscribers in 2010. They resulted in a net loss of 826 pips. The damage was done by inane mechanical trades and by those moderators without a finance industry background calling their own trades.
But even if the result was +826 pips from 774 trades, it would represent a trading edge so weak as to be useless. Once you take into account a little slippage, or missing the odd good trade that takes off quickly, you'd end up behind anyway. As for making a living from them, well, not even a remote chance of that!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Proposals for a 12-12-18 system, with the top two leagues splitting into 8-8-8, the introduction of play-offs, revised financial distribution and the merging of the SPL and the Scottish Football League were rejected after Ross County and St Mirren voted against them two weeks ago.
However, the SPL clubs met again on Monday to discuss four different play-off options and will reconvene next Tuesday to study the proposals in more detail.
After the meeting, which lasted around three hours, Doncaster stressed that the most important factor for the SPL clubs to consider is cost versus benefit.
"It remains a possibility, no more than that," he said. "The clubs have expressed a keenness to get round the table again. It may be that nothing can be agreed but the clubs are keen to have that conversation.
"The clubs reluctantly agreed that given the time before now and the end of the season, it is not possible to achieve a full merger in time for the summer so it is looking unlikely that there will be any reconstruction involving a merger. But we looked at four different play-off models today.
"There was no formal proposal, it was discussion meeting to see if anything could be agreed. There is a view generally that play-offs could be a positive thing but it may suit some clubs more than others.
"The devil is always in the detail and whilst we all might like the idea of play-offs, you need to know how they will work.
"The clubs need to understand all the facts and figures, exactly what the risk is and what additional money they would get as part of those play-offs. All of those remain work in progress.
"What you are asking clubs to do is to take on the additional risk of being relegated but without all of the financial benefits that would have been accompanied with that risk with the all-through distribution model and the merger."

Culture Shock

Burque, I Hardly Knew Ye
Sometimes life hands you lemons, and when that happens, you're stuck squeezing the shit out of those lemons onto fried fish in hopes of extracting some flavor and thanking sweet baby Jesus you ordered the regular peas, not the mushy peas. Am I right? Or are you all wondering just how drunk I am, or if I've lost my mind and, in either case, what in God's name I'm babbling about?

You Feelin' Cyber, Punk?
Get into the mind of William Gibson
By Scott McCool
Ask any aficionado to list the foundational texts of cyberpunk and you will surely hear mention of William Gibson's 1984 debut novel, Neuromancer. Cyberpunk, for those not in the know, is a science-fiction sub-genre of urban-noir in which characters repurpose futuristic technologies to get by on the fringes of dystopian societies. Since those early days, the present has made great strides towards catching up with Gibson's imagined future. His latest cycle of books, which concludes with the just-released Zero History, examine our science-fictional present with the same skill set he once used to depict the 2030s. The Alibi caught up with Gibson through the magic of cellular technology in advance of his upcoming talk at the Albuquerque Public Library. In other words, the future is almost here.

America's Fastest Growing Quiz Sensation (behind 'Where in the World is John Tanner?') is 'Who Said This?'
Today's entry:
[I have] "always been a strong believer in the power of the free market. It has been and will remain the very engine of America's progress – the source of a prosperity that has gone unmatched in human history. I believe that jobs are best created not by government, but by businesses and entrepreneurs like you who are willing to take risks on a good idea. And I believe that our role as lawmakers is not to disparage wealth, but to expand its reach; not to stifle the market, but to strengthen its ability to unleash the creativity and innovation that still makes this nation the envy of the world."

The Travis Tritt concert, set for May 27 at the Lauderdale County Agricenter, has been anticipated for weeks.
The country music artist has sold millions of albums and puts on exciting shows.
But so far, ticket sales have been disappointing.
Organizers are counting on the community to keep this tradition of bringing in top professional talent going.
"We really need people to support this," said Carolyn Smith, a member of the Jimmie Rodgers Foundation board of directors. "And we really encourage them to buy these tickets. What a wonderful way to start their Memorial Day weekend with a great concert for Jimmie Rodgers "
Until Saturday, tickets may be purchased for $25 each at the Jimmie Rodgers Museum, the customer service desk at the Bonita Lakes Mall and at the Lauderdale County Agricenter.
On Saturday, the day of the show, tickets will be $30 each and available only at the Agricenter.

Age of Stupid
Andrew Bolt
–, Saturday, December, 03, 2011, (7:11am)
What is the most stupid thing Labor has done these fours years?
- apologise to a "stolen generation" no one can find?
- impose a carbon dioxide tax that couldn''t "stop" a global warming that hasn't actually happened for a decade anyway?
- bet more than $36 billion on building a national broadband network without even checking that the highly speculative benefits outweigh the enormous costs?
- dismantle border protection laws that worked, leading to 12,000 more people coming, some 500 drowning and billions more dollars paid out in detention costs and welfare?
Surely we live in the Age of Stupid when such colossally bad, irrational and damaging things can be done - and to the applause of so many journalists.
Have Your Say
Everything Labor has done, since coming to power, has been stupid
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:25am)
Sat 03 Dec 11 (11:42am)
Age of stupid indeed does sum it up. Andrew, make that your next headline in the "Sun" .
As Forrest Gump said, "Stupid is as stupid does".
But don't worry, I'm sure another "New, Real" Julia is being built in the spin factory to trot out to convince everyone that she is the answer to all the problems, even though the old plastic Julia is the one that created them.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:28am)
"Surely we live in the Age of Stupid when such colossally bad, irrational and damaging things can be done - and to the applause of so many journalists."
And the ALP boosters so regularly posting here.
Don't forget them.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:29am)
So what does this say about the AGENDA of Gillard.?
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:32am)
The pink batts debacle.
Four deaths with no tangible environmental benefit. Money given out without checking work has been done. Crime rings milking the system The lazy being rewarded for not getting out of their own way to insulate their houses with their own dollar. An absolute farce.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:34am)
Andrew how can one choose between so many stupid things?
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:36am)
Supid is as stupid does.!!!!
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:38am)
And lefty journalist want to ensure that we continue to live in Stupidsville. For them its Labor at any cost, no matter the cost to Australia. But the people of Australia are waking up. Everywhere there is a growing number of Ex Labor voters. They're angry and they're distressed. Never again, they say. Never again will I vote Labor.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:39am)
I guess the epitomy of the Age of Stupid is making an economic illiterate the World's best Treasurer.
But never mind, Labor and the greens and the dipsticks have the solution at hand.They are spending a week debating gay marriage at the Labor conference for the benefit of 1% of the population.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:39am)
Sat 03 Dec 11 (04:09pm)
Yes, I am glad you wrote "illiterate".
Most of our recent treasurers have not had a financial or economics background. Not even Mr Costello who's field was the law, but who was a clear and rational thinker, and so could apply his intellectual skills to keeping raving Keynseians in check.
A previous WBT (one PJK later a PM) was likewise not an economics major. However Keating at least had some life experience - managing a rock band, no less.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:31pm)
True John, he did serve as shadow Finance Minister in 1993/4 and Shadow Treasurer after that to John Howard who had been treasurer and an accountant by practice.
To be fair Swan was a Shadow Treasurer from 2004 until Rudd won. He had been the Shadow Minister for Family and Community services until factions deals put him in the Treasury position.
Which makes it all the more confusing that he seems to be making such a mess of the treasury job. The alternatives were Gillard and Smith.
I remember a press conference where the Labor reporters, Oakes etc, tried to trip up Costello. He answered with text book answers and little asides to demonstrate he knew what he was talking about.
To be fair, the Labor reporters asked Swan the same question. When he could not answer and started sweating, they hurriedly changed the subject.
Pretty well sums Swan up. If he can't make it up he sweats.
another stupid thing is labor to back gay marriage. the battlers are doing it tough enough but now labor takes away our self respect as well. you have decimated the only thing that counts, being marriage and kids and an 800 sq.m. block.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:45am)
Could anyone else sum up the situation better than that? I doubt it. Excellent work Mr Bolt. And utterly irrefutable. It's one thing to be a dedicated and enduring Labor supporter. It's bordering on lunacy however for the media to continue backing this particular mob. They're hoping things will improve and their ideology finally vindicated. They'll excuse stupidity and attack rationality all the way to the disatrous end.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:45am)
So it is up to the LNP to come up with something more than responsible fiscal management to galvanise the Australian people. The Nation needs a tangible vision. Build a new state in the North West, build something for goodness sake. A rocket, a space station, a railway, something that we can all be proud of.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:46am)
Sat 03 Dec 11 (01:23pm)
We've had enough of vision, thanks very much. I want a government who takes as little as possible, spends like a Scotsman and otherwise minds its own bloody business.
Vision is for entrepreneurs, not bloody bureaucrats.
I was just listening to a podcast with Prof Ian Plimer who was laughing at how politicians keep bleating on about "carbon pollution." Everything we do with our physical bodies emits carbon. Politicians who want to stop emitting carbon can do something about it - they can drop dead! Problem solved.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:46am)
Yep and as I have said for a number of years now, under the Labor/Green/Independent government the clever country has quickly turned into the stupid country.
To take just your four examples of the stupidity there is of course one underlying theme that goes to the core of socialist ideology.....punish the successful rich and redistribute their wealth via a big nanny Labor government.
- the 'apology' just provides further rationale for continued and extended welfare dependency.
- the carbon tax directly redistributes wealth
- the NBN promises taxpayer subsidised faster downloads of games, movies and porn
- the open border policy will result in tens of thousands of long term (and probably intergenerational) welfare dependency.
The dream electorate for the ALP is one that is largely reliant on hand outs from government - the more welfare dependency the more they like it.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:47am)
Sat 03 Dec 11 (02:01pm)
The NBN won't make games download faster at all because the problems is our international links NOT the interstate line. If anything, it'll make interstate data transfer faster.
Dont forget the deaths of those young Australians through the pink batts installations.
Wasting all that money giving people money for stimulus showed that even though they had all this money they just wanted to throw it all away on nothing. Instead of using it to build water saving dams. I know most of Australia was in drought then but northern Australia is NEVER IN DROUGHT. Just think of the major stimulus and water saving device that would have been able to save the murray dalring system.
Tax, waste, tax, waste, tax waste. When I think of Labor/union government, that is what flashes into my mind.They had a chance to build infrastructure that could have saved Australians from a 10 year drought, but no, they gave every Australian a flat screen TV. That speaks a volume in the ALP's DNA
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:48am)
Sat 03 Dec 11 (11:48am)
agree absolutely
the $200 billion they have wasted in 4 years
and still 2 more years to go
could have built dams,hospitals,freeways,etc etc , all the
infrastructure we need and create jobs in building and staffing
How about supporting to the important position of parliamentary speaker a member of parliament with an appalling attendance record. The same member,whose behaviour in recent years was such his own party branch could no longer support him for preselection for another term in parliament. Watching with interest on how this bomb will explode next year.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:51am)
Dumb and Dumber. The labor caucus are all to blame.
Everything they touch turns to rubbish.
They will not be remembered as a smart bunch.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:53am)
I cannot decide if the most stupid thing Labor has done was to elect Rudd as leader or to replace him with Gillard.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:53am)
But Julia said they have governed well! Geez, I'd hate to see what happens when they govern badly. Zimbabwe springs to mind.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:55am)
Not stupid, but evil. Stupidity can be forgiven up to a point, we don't get to choose our brains or intelligence. However, Labor's power-mongers know exactly what they're doing, dismantling our economy, controlling the media, lying to keep the masses under control, using the 'warm and fuzzy' Greens as pawns to impose Gillard's totalitarian agenda. The rest of the party is too gutless to stand up to them. In the words of a well-known visitor to this blog 'Wake up Australia'. Before it really is too late.
Sat 03 Dec 11 (07:56am)
Sat 03 Dec 11 (11:42am)
I agree with you 100% Arden. They are extremely dangerous as I believe they are doing things with full knowledge.

Check it out...
Check it out...
you have succesfully uglified hemmingway
the colors don't work
it was a really slow load
the text is too big
i disagree with resiny... partly.
i think the colors are "okay" - maybe a little tweaking here and there.
i had no problems with the load time... on a cable modem with a 2 year old computer it loaded perfectly fine. not sure about others.
and yeah, the text is a little too big. i'm not fond of the BRIGHT WHITE links, either.
however i wouldn't go so far as to say it's uglified... just in need of some more tweaking.
I agree w/ ladydelaluna
I kinda like it. :-) Only thing I'd suggest, from my opinion, is that the fonts could be a bit smaller.
"you have succesfully uglified hemmingway"
That is hilarious. resiny, I can only aspire. That is all I can do...
I try to be honest...
I figure I'm doing people a disservice if I lie to them about how their design looks
I'd make the search bar smaller, give it a size 11 or so, or rearrange the header so it wraps around it or something.
I'd prefer a side bar in it for all your links, it makes it easier to navigate as it fills up.
Its decent though, nice enough colour, but not seen them on a ordinary screen.
If it validates, it will be a fair blog. but I never tested that out or the Css.
I like it except for the colors. I'm not partial to browns. I'm a blues man. Good job.
Check out the update. The old color scheme. I'm still in the tweaking stage.
resiny -- I have no problem with honesty that's why I put it up here but I do have to take into consideration where it's coming from. I mean, looking at you blog, c'mon.
that's better. I like the header
when you ask for feedback and get it - it doesn't mean that all the posters asked you to post here your opinion about their websites.
Whoever is asking for feedback about their website... should learn first some humility to be able to swallow whatever is said about their design. Period.
And, please, try to avoid personal remarks.
WARNING: This is is not an issue for debate! Don't even try. [I am known as being quick with the delete button]
I also like this latest version better :)
Point taken. It wasn't meant to be a personal attack. I was just ribbing resiny and I am honestly open to criticism all around.
Thanks everyone for their comments.

Concert audience got a treat
Published: Friday, February 26, 2010 at 9:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 26, 2010 at 9:55 a.m.
On the evening of Feb. 10, I sat in the audience at Central Lafourche High School and saw two miracles take place. The occasion was the honor band concert.
When the first speaker was introduced, the reaction was, unfortunately, a strong show of whistling, hooting and shouting that is so typical of some audiences in our area. By the time the all-youth honor band finished its first selection, much of the audience must have been in awe by what we had just heard. I don't think anyone had expected such a good performance by our own talented sixth- and seventh-graders, and the audience reacted with respectful applause.
By the end of the three-band concert, I believe we all knew that we had seen and heard an amazing show of musicianship put on by middle school, junior-high and high-school students. I congratulate them, their wonderful teachers and their supportive families and friends. I certainly look forward to the next honor-band concert.
I don't think many people were aware than, because the junior-high honor band was short one trombone player, one young man and his trombone were moved from the youngest group to the junior-high group for this performance. Keep up the good work, young man.

So in the mail, I get a package from them and it's nothing like what the lady had described. I could only visit certain spots, stay at certain hotels, and spend a set amount of days wherever I chose from the list that they sent. It was crap.
I sent the packages back at my own expense and called thier billing dept. As soon as they answer the phone they pop off with an attitude like you shouldn't be calling them. Anyway I explained who I was and I needed to know when my refund would be in my account. They said it would be on my next billing statement-guess what...it wasn't!
So EVERYDAY I called and asked when it would show up and they said Oct. 31st....NOT! It's now Nov. 15th and my account is empty...I just spoke with Tracy the supervisor and she said "for sure, the earliest I can process your account will be next Tuesday!" Well I was so mad after that I wanted to cry.
They don't care about thier integrity which is next to nothing and it's very scary that they are in business at all. I need help because I wasn't treated with the respect I gave them. I was given the run around and to this day still no straight foward answers, just empty promises, which i don't think they'll fufill this time, either.

This was insulting enough, until I tried to cancel. There was no way to cancel online, where I signed up! I called customer service and got someone who spoke broken english who told me that the reason I couldn't cancel online was that there were security issues! I advised that there was no concern for that when I signed up! This morning (next day) I check my account and find a $1.00 charge for the 14 day free trial!! I am encountering this scam more and more where it is easy to sign up online but very difficult to cancel.

In August, as suspicions about the scope of Syria's chemical weapons program came to light, a Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman acknowledged his country's willingness to use its horrific chemical weapons against any would-be foreign invaders.
At the Seventh Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) Review Conference in Geneva last December, the treaty's 165 member states agreed to a new intersessional process of work to be done in preparation for the next such conference, in 2016. This new process retained the limited aim ("to discuss, and promote common understanding and effective action") of the previous two intersessional processes, but it did restructure the convention's annual meeting of experts and state parties within the process.
When survivors of the 2002 theater siege in Moscow -- in which Russian police used a gas widely believed to be a fentanyl derivative to flush out terrorists -- brought claims before the European Court of Human Rights, the ruling came down with mixed results.
April 29, 2012, marks the final destruction deadline for chemical weapons, according to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The United States will miss this deadline, as will the Russian Federation and Libya. This inability to comply with a crucial treaty provision that the US Senate approved and the Clinton administration ratified back in April 1997 may be puzzling to some, but it certainly should not come as a surprise.

Anticholinesterase Inhibitory Activity of Quaternary Alkaloids from Tinospora crispa

AbstractQuaternary alkaloids are the major alkaloids isolated from Tinospora species. A previous study pointed to the necessary presence of quaternary nitrogens for strong acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity in such alkaloids. Repeated column chromatography of the vine of Tinospora crispa extract led to the isolation of one new protoberberine alkaloid, 4,13-dihydroxy-2,8,9-trimethoxydibenzo[a,g]quinolizinium (1), along with six known alkaloids—dihydrodiscretamine (2), columbamine (3), magnoflorine (4), N-formylannonaine (5), N-formylnornuciferine (6), and N-trans-feruloyltyramine (7). The seven compounds were isolated and structurally elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Two known alkaloids, namely, dihydrodiscretamine and columbamine are reported for the first time for this plant. The compounds were tested for AChE inhibitory activity using Ellman's method. In the AChE inhibition assay, only columbamine (3) showed strong activity with IC50 48.1 µM. The structure–activity relationships derived from these results suggest that the quaternary nitrogen in the skeleton has some effect, but that a high degree of methoxylation is more important for acetylcholinesterase inhibition.
Keywords: Tinospora crispa; Menispermaceae; ethnoremedy; anticholinesterase inhibitory activities; quaternary alkaloids; 4,13-dihydroxy-2,8,9-trimethoxydibenzo[a,g] quinolizinium; dihydrodiscretamine; columbamine

Suddenly, 'Idea Wars' Take On a New Global Urgency
Published: November 11, 2001
(Page 6 of 7)
They say that the 1998 statute, by banning software tools used to circumvent the locks on digital material, prevents consumers from using copyrighted works in ways that have long been considered acceptable — excerpts for criticism or teaching, say, or making a personal backup copy.
"The emergence of new technologies has called into question whether we might have gone too far in strengthening the rights of property holders against consumers," said Richard C. Levin, the president of Yale University, who is heading an investigation by the National Academy of Sciences into the nation's intellectual property policy. "The key question is, are we getting the balance right?"
It is a question that has long been relegated to lawyers and lobbyists. But the direction of intellectual property policy has gained urgency in recent weeks as the Bush administration has begun to view international development in terms of national security. Further complicating the debate, a growing contingent of economists suggests that more protection for intellectual property does not necessarily lead to more innovation.
"There's been a tendency on the part of policy makers in the United States to equate stronger intellectual property rights with more innovation in a very simplistic way," said Josh Lerner, an economist at Harvard Business School. "A more nuanced approach is much more appropriate." In a study of 150 years of patent policies in 60 countries, Mr. Lerner found that there was no evidence that increased patent protection in developing countries led to increased innovation among domestic companies.
Some economists, legal scholars and entrepreneurs argue that patent protection should also be applied more sparingly in industries like computer technology where innovation is already taking place at a rapid rate. They point to the growth in a method of software development known as open source, in which programmers do not patent or copyright their work, as proof that innovation can occur without intellectual property protection.
"Patents are regulating a broader range of innovative activity than ever before," said Lawrence Lessig, a Stanford University law professor and author of a book, "The Future of Ideas" (Random House, 2001), that emphasized the importance of a healthy public domain to fuel innovation. "I believe we should be extremely skeptical about extending government-backed monopoly in the context of the Internet before we find out if it's doing any good."
At a hearing of the House Judiciary Committee earlier this year, Andrew Steinberg, vice president of the Internet travel site Travelocity.com ( news/quote ), said a flood of patents on business practices was discouraging innovation in his industry and wasting resources on legal fees that ought to be spent on developing products.
Travelocity had to pay to use Priceline's system for selling name-your-own-price airline tickets over the Internet, for instance, even though, Mr. Steinberg says, the basic reverse-auction concept is not new. By contrast, since the concept of holding traditional auctions online was not patented, he said, eBay ( news/quote ), Yahoo ( news/quote ), Amazon ( news/quote ) and others have been free to innovate and compete in that business.
"We believe the proliferation of these patents is a serious threat to the growth of electronic commerce," Mr. Steinberg said. "No prudent business would allow its competitors to patent key business processes without attempting to obtain some patents of their own. And so we, and virtually every other large Internet company, must accept the law as it is and aggressively attempt to obtain patents wherever we can."
But Jay Walker, the founder of Priceline, said he could not have started the company without being able to assure investors that airlines would not be free to copy his idea.
"Strong property rights fairly applied build assets for society," Mr. Walker said. "Lack of property creates uncertainty, destroys investment and ultimately is worse for society. The only people who really dislike intellectual property are the people who don't have any."
That may well be true. Mr. Steinberg's testimony contained strong echoes of a public hearing in 1994, when patents on computer software were just beginning to be issued in large numbers. Then, most of the executives who testified at patent office hearings argued for limiting such patents, saying that novelty in the software business was fleeting at best. Now, most of their companies have large patent portfolios, and many bring in annual revenue.
"Companies found that software patents were very easy to get in very broad terms," said Matthew Powers, a managing partner at Weil, Gotshal & Manges, a law firm whose 20 or so software industry clients have all been involved in patent litigation in the last year. "The inherent power of a patent — the power to force someone to stop selling a product — is so much greater than any other form of protection. They started embracing patents with every arm they could find."

After repeatedly asking if I was being entered into any obligation, they said I was not and did not have to keep the magazines and could cancel at any time. Was transferred to a "supervisor" and asked to put in a good word for her performance. The "supervisor" got my credit card number, claiming she had to verify I was still a valid cardholder (stupid on my part for not catching the scam) and after asking if I was authorizing a transaction, she said I was not.
Was called again by another supervisor, I requested to cancel any order they had placed, she said I could not cancel. I cancelled my card and she said that was ok, they had already pre-authorized the transaction (which I was told before that I was not authorizing anything) and there was nothing I could do about it. She was very rude and told me I was not under verbal contract with them and could not cancel and am obligated to pay them for 20 months of shipping charges. She then hung up on me.
I called back, spoke to a Holly, who told me she did not know the cancellation policy and could not give me any information and that some other person would call me and I would have to ask them. By law they have to disclose cancellation policies but they refused to do that. I've filed a complaint with the BBB who has already received hundreds of complaints on this same company. Filing a complaint with my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission, and contacting a lawyer.
These people must be stopped, everything they say and do is 100% illegal by FTC laws. DO NOT give them your information and fall into the trap!

She said I canceled my order and that I am being refunded. Also offered a letter to confirm that information. I have also reported them to my bank. I unfortunately am unable to file a report on them here. Due to the fact they refuse to give an address. It should be noted that I was not offered cancellation and refund, until I said that I had looked them up and see several complaints going back almost a year on them.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

1. No which plan I sign up with, where they claim you have unlimited amount of internet usage, towards the end of the month, they slow down your internet speed.
2. If something happens on their end like where you can't make phone calls for a day or two and its because something happened to their system and its not your fault they wont reimburse you or make up for your lost time.
3. Also once in a while, they will cut off your service ahead of time by 2 or 3 hours.
The only reason I am still with them is because my credit is bad and I really can't go to another phone service, but that doesn't mean you can treat me like this, and I think they know this.

2. If it is their fault, yes they should reimburse you. But to put it in perspective at their $35/month plan that works out to just a little over $1/day.
3. Then don't cut it so close when you are paying for your next month. Or better yet sign up for the automatic monthly deduction and save another $5 per month for the same plan.
The only reason I am still with them is because my credit is bad
