- I have not read your piece in the New York Review of Books.
- I will not read your piece in the New York Review of Books.
- I have, however, hit CTRL-F to search for the following words: "imagination," "human being," "qualified," "experience," and "censorship."
- All five are present and accounted for.
- I feel like I have basically read your piece in the New York Review of Books.
- The argument is a little derivative.
- Derivative in the way that writing a novel about a writing workshop is derivative (which I read and liked about 80% of).
- Have you met Joyce Carol Oates?
- I think you should be friends with Joyce Carol Oates.
- What about Lionel Shriver?
- You two could go hat shopping together.
- I understand you wrote a novel about a monkey.
- I'm starting to be a little worried that you wrote a novel about a monkey.
- That's one way to get around the "cottage industry" of sensitivity readers.
- Okay, so I read your piece in the New York Review of Books.
- If a child accidentally discovers a piece of racist literature that her grandmother has tucked away in her attic, what we tell the child is not that "once it was considered okay to picture black people that way."
- What we tell the child is that it has never been, nor will it ever be, okay to picture black people that way.
- What will truly "enable [you] to consider what it means to be a human being" is to address, and redress, whom you think of as counting as a human being in the first place. Fiction will only get you partway.
- I know it's easier to traffic in anthropomorphized monkeys. But try this: use your imagination.

It's easy to look at Parquet Courts as martyrs for 'social consciousness' folk music, examining web-warped society through poetry and reconciling techno-dislocation with unmasculine punk and offbeat indie rock from the internet-pre-empting decades of yore. Andrew Savage and co. no doubt grew up educating themselves on that corner of music history spearheaded by Lou Reed and Brian Eno and Neil Young where all anyone wanted to hear was a guitarist experiencing inner maelstrom with agreeable chords in hand, narrowly dodging Led Zeppelin territory by shooing away testosterone's influence on the whole procedure.
The band's goal is mostly clear five albums deep: codify their late-20th century idols' art into a platform for contemporary messages; a similar mechanism to the one folk music has used historically. I mean, we can all turn a blind ear when a '60s folk singer is sitting there fingerpicking C F and G on a Martin, because those musical elements and cues have been codified by so many different artists that it just doesn't matter anymore; it's a language supplementary to the actual point of the music. That concept of rock music being a communal exchange of ideas is what Parquet Courts is going for. How the band applies it on Human Performance is admirable, but disorienting. In finally cleaning up and colourising their previously dry sepia sound, the instrumental sounds and cues occasionally become so directly referential to very particular music that it starts feeling like a joke. "Captive of the Sun" is the sound of an Odelay era Beck going cold turkey. "Steady on My Mind" is, like, literally a Velvet Underground song. Parquet Courts is of course just one among countless projects under that influence, the thing is that here they're not exactly 'taking cues' but rather holding their headstocks and pedals up to the sunlight and tracing "Pale Blue Eyes" nuance for nuance. "One Man No City" also tries to hide its rephrased plagiarism by turning the nightlight raga of "Lady Godiva's Operation" into a roadtrip jam.
Human Performance feels most assured at its most concise and poppy – "Outside", "Berlin Got Blurry", "Pathos Prairie" as well as the title track are all among the band's most profound moments. This is engaging, modestly straightforward rock music with a few textural quirks and extremely strong lyricism. Parquet Courts may be overtly influenced by other music but they end up getting away with it because, like folk, it's the singing that holds the purpose. It's just a shame how wobbly they straddle the line between reference and parody.

The Chicago Tribune's chilling account of sexual assaults on students by other students highlights the stark need for better budgeting and training of special education positions within the district. Students with disabilities need the support services outlined in their education plans and staff to handle them if CPS is to prevent crimes like these from happening.
According to the Tribune's reporting, in more than half of the cases either the sexual-assault victim or the perpetrator was a student with a disability, and in some cases both students involved had disabilities. Neither the perpetrators nor the victims are getting the support they need, deserve, and are legally required to have, leading to these horrible assaults.
Historically CPS has dealt with budget shortfalls with severely austere budgets that are balanced by cutting staff and services, particularly for students with disabilities. These bad policy decisions led to the environment we see in CPS today — unfilled positions and students with disabilities unable to access the appropriate education to which they are entitled.
CPS' violations of special ed law were recently very publicly highlighted by a historic investigation by the Illinois State Board of Education. In May, ISBE announced support for an independent monitor to supervise an overhaul of CPS' special education service following an investigation that concluded CPS violated a broad swath of federal laws and regulations regarding special education services for students with disabilities.
By taking this extraordinary step to appoint a monitor to supervise CPS' rebuilding of special education services, ISBE says to students with disabilities and their families: You matter and are valued and you will get the education you should. Access Living and other advocates and parents hope this monitor has the independence and resources it will need to finally address the pervasive failings of CPS special education.
There is an ongoing disconnect between budget priorities, PR announcements, and the actual delivery of services for students with disabilities by CPS. It's high time CPS treats its special education violations like the crisis it is and seriously budget and plan for remedies for students if it is to avoid future failings across the board.

Symptoms Symptoms
To all those who think they may be infected with hiv .
I am a young black gay south african man .I was too scared to get tesated for hiv because i once had sex and the condom broke.... I had been too scared to get tested untill one day i noticed i had swollen lymph glands this small aliment lead me to belive that i had been infected with hiv - I thought i was hiv positive and eventually got the courage to get tested.To my suprise it was negitive....I hate the fact that it took an event like that for me to take responsabilty for my actions.. If you think you may be having symptoms ...GET TESTED.
Hey there,
I've been reading these stories and I must say that everyone here is incredible. You've shown the emotional side of this disease, both the negative and some positive. With your stories you all have opened up a new way of viewing HIV, not just about the disease itself, but about the people who live with it in their daily lives.
I am sexually active and had unprotected sex but screened guys pretty good and asked.. most encouters have been oral id say 80 percent. I have not been tested in 6 months and went to my doctor last friday he ordered all blood tests including hiv. They called monday and wanted me to come in for a re-test. I asked if there was a result and they said no just need to re-draw blood.. I got scared and called the doc office manager and told her i was upset and freaking out and wanted to know why.. she said she would have my chart pulled and call me back. today they called and my doctor wants to see me friday when i come in for my re-test.. I am scared and don't know where to turn for whats going on....
I am sitting in a hotel room on a business trip with work very nervous and scared and nobody to turn to.

Hi all,
I have just uploaded V4.1.6 to <www.sheetcam.com>. This version has the following changes:
Fixed: Orange outlines showing at the wrong time
Added: DNC tool can now run an external program
Changed: Lots of multi-select code
Changed: Now uses current XP theme (XP only)
To run an external program, click on the configure button in the DNC tool. Select 'Run external command' and then enter your command. The % character is used as an escape to specify various different strings.
%% = % character
%F = full file name and path
%f = file name without path or extension
%p = path without filename
%e = extension
For instance:
notepad.exe %F
will open the file in Notepad.
copy %F com10
will send the file to com10
If 'wait for command to finish' is checked then you cannot run the post processor again until the command has finished. You can also terminate the command with the abort button. Note abort kills the running application so you don't get prompted to save changes etc. If you have 'run in a dos box' selected the dos box gets killed but the running command may not.
I am thinking of adding a DDE option. Does anyone have a use for this? DDE has the advantage in that it can send a message to an already running application (if the application is not running it will be started).
V4.1.6 released
New releases and important announcements will be posted here. This is for announcements only. Please use the new features or problems forums to discuss new releases.

Fiona, Howarth
Hi Edward,
I am just dropping a quick line to say that the service I received today was truly outstanding. Whilst visiting my sister in Leeds she told me about the wonderful service she receives with repairs and sales from your hidden away shop and workshop. It was well worth the three flights of stairs for you managed to re rhodium plate my three rings in as little as twenty minutes.
I explained to you that they needed doing but said that where I live it always takes my jeweller a week to send them away and as these were my wedding rings then it was too long. As you were closing and you understood that I was only visiting Leeds you managed to do re rhodium plate all three rings in just twenty minutes!!!!! Thank you so much! I am recommending you to all my friends over here for when they visit Leeds too!
Thank you so much.

First, I found my crochet hooks - they were in the trunk at the bottom of my closet, which meant pulling out the tubs and the other heavy trunk ... but I got them. And saw no signs of bedbugs, but you never know. *shudder*
I can't wait to write something AFTER this whole ordeal - write the thing that I went searching for online when I first discovered this infestation ... that it CAN be OK and people can make it through this. Because from where I'm sitting, that's not seeming realistic or plausible.
After a late lunch today - I started to feel better (today's previous entry was depressed, to be kind about it). I don't feel great, but I'm also OK with that. It sucks that this has happened to us, but this is certainly not the worst thing that could happen (although I hope it's the worst thing that Shawn and I ever face together! Wouldn't we have a happy, carefree life then?).
We have each other - and our stuff isn't destroyed. We WILL eventually leave this behind us, even if we can't get them knocked out of this apartment. And we've found coping mechanisms and a way to live with the bugs (buy stock in Comet, right?!) if we absolutely have to. And I'm no longer shelling out co-pay after co-pay for a skin allergy that wasn't.
It's going to take a while until I'm comfortable in this apartment (which is a struggle, since I spend up to 24 out of 24 hours in a day in this room) ... but I have to remember all the blessings I have and the ways in which life is GOOD, despite this bad THING that's happening in it. If only that nugget of positive emotion and empowerment and HOPE could stick with me and dry the tears that I inevitably shed when looking around and thinking about it all... Baby steps, though. Baby steps.
Also - now it's OK to listen to Christmas music - giving myself just over a full month to enjoy my collection - including Mariah, Trisha and a great Merry Mixmas CD that has classics re-mixed. Minimal decorating will commence when we return from our Thanksgiving trip, as will Christmas card writing and baking - cookies and candy and good stuff! I'm ordering custom Christmas cards (the first try wasn't what I wanted, but I've found a company that can do what I want), and I'm going to put up a ceramic tree with light bulbs and a mosaic picture holder thing that my mom gave me - instead of photos I'm going to hang/attach ornaments that I've got - it will be fun times.

Kimo Wilder McVay
Kimo Wilder McVay (September 16 1927–June 29 2001) was a musician turned talent manager, who successfully promoted Hawaiian entertainment acts. McVay promoted and managed acts such as teenage heart throb Robin Luke, Don Ho, John Rowles, comic Andy Bumatai, Keolo and Kapono Beamer, ventriloquist Freddie Morris, magician John Hirokawa and many others.

Kimo Wilder McVay was born September 16, 1927 in Washington, D.C.. His father was Navy Captain Charles Butler McVay III.[1] His mother was Hawaii heiress Kinau Wilder (1902–1992), great-granddaughter of pioneering missionary physician and politician Gerrit Parmele Judd, and granddaughter of shipping magnate Samuel Garner Wilder. One of his many cousins on his mother's side was George R. Carter (1866–1933), the Territorial Governor of Hawaii.[2]
It was possibly the clearing of his father's name that gave Kimo Wilder McVay the most personal satisfaction.[1] His father was found guilty of negligence in the 1945 sinking of the USS Indianapolis in the closing days of World War II and eventually committed suicide as a result. Kimo spent his adult life on a quest to clear the record. Half a century later, the United States Congress passed action exonerating the senior McVay.[3]
He was managing Hirokawa when he died on June 29, 2001.
Robin LukeEdit
High school student Robin Luke was appearing in a 1958 Punahou School music program when McVay saw the potential [4] of this fresh-faced teenager. McVay hooked Luke up with Bob Bertram of the Hawaii-based Bertram International Studio where they recorded Susie Darlin' about Luke's kid sister. McVay went on to promote the song with local deejays and TV stations, helping to make the song a national hit.
Duke Kahanamoku and Don HoEdit
Kimo was a friend and manager to Duke Kahanamoku. The Duke Kahanamoku Invitational Surfing Championship[5] was developed by Kimo McVay in 1965, in part to help publicize the newly opened Duke Kahanamoku's nightclub McVay operated in the International Market Place in Waikiki. In the early 1960s, Kimo accompanied Duke Kahanamoku to see the up-and-coming Don Ho at Honey's in Kaneohe.[6] It was a magic moment that brought Don to Duke's Waikiki nightclub as a springboard to international fame for Ho and his band The Aliis. With Don on stage hoisting a mai tai glass and encouraging the crowd to "Suck 'em up, everybody!", the promotional "Suck 'em Up"-themed mai tai glasses became souvenirs among Don Ho fandom. It was McVay[7] who in 1967 talked Don Ho into recording the [8] song Tiny Bubbles, written by Leon Pober,[9] Ho's signature tune.
John RowlesEdit
McVay lined up Maori artist John Rowles as Duke's in-residence act[10] to follow Ho's tenure at the nightclub. Rowles had already made his United States debut the same year at the Flamingo Las Vegas, following Ho's booking at that venue. When Rowles was the in-residence act at Duke's, McVay placed copies of Rowles' hit single Cheryl Moana Marie into invitations for the opening of Al Lopaka as a fill in act for Rowles.[11] Under McVay's management, Rowles would become the headliner at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel's Monarch Room.
Na Hoku Hanohano AwardEdit
The Hawai'i Academy of Recording Arts awarded McVay the 1999 Na Hoku Hanohano Lifetime Achievement Award[12] for his substantial contributions to the entertainment industry in Hawaii.

The United States Navy has announced that one of their guided-missile destroyers has collided with an oil tanker off of the coast of Singapore
A search and rescue operation is currently being carried out as ten sailors are currently missing.
The ship involved in the incident the USS John McCain was traveling through the Strait of Malacca getting ready to stop in Singapore when the collision happened.
The vessel is reported to have "sustained damage" to the port side of the ship after hitting the Liberian vessel.
Local authorities are assisting the US crew with their rescue efforts.
This incident comes just several months after seven US sailors were killed when the USS Fitzgerald hit a container ship in Japanese waters back in June.

According to Ubisoft, the Ghost Recon Wildlands DLC "Fallen Ghosts" will be a direct continuation of the original game's story. It will be releasing on May 30 if you're a Season Pass holder, but if you're not one of those, you'll be getting it on June 6. Fallen Ghosts is the game's second DLC.
According to the blurb, the Ghost Recon Wildlands DLC will focus on the aftermath of the game's main story. Now that the Ghost team has taken down the drug cartels that ran the country, the rogue military unit Unidad is trying to restore order.
However, with Bolivia collapsing into civil war, Unidad has put out a call for anyone willing to "help" them restore order. Various brutal mercenaries, disgraced special forces squads, ex-cartel members, and more have all taken up the call.
This leads to the birth of a new faction, "Los Extranjeros" (the Foreigners) who are very dedicated to killing any American they find. The Ghosts are given a new mission to get every American out of the country as soon as possible, but when their chopper is shot down, they are dumped into the middle of the Bolivian jungle with Los Extranjeros closing in.
The Ghost Recon Wildlands DLC will include fifteen different missions, which focus around the Ghosts taking down four new bosses in three different regions. Players will be given a new level 30 character, and the level cap will be pushed up to level 35 in the DLC.
This, along with new unlockable skills, new gear, new weapons, and new side activities, will help to make Fallen Ghosts a DLC that you can easily lose a few hours in, along with getting a bunch of cool new stuff.
Once again, the DLC will be out on May 30 if you're a season pass holder, or June 6 if you aren't. The DLC will be 15 dollars or your regional equivalent.

Les Hale
Its a sad day to day. Today we learned of the passing of Les Hale I got to meet Les on several occasions throughout my years in the UNI Varsity Men's Glee Club and then later while serving on the board of directors for an endowment fund in his name. He always had a story to tell about the group, his students and gettings started so many decades ago. Les talked about the Glee Club and not only its impact on the guys in the group and the men that they became.

The first of May in the National Strike, I found a group of about 25 to 30 people carrying anarchist flags, with faces covered, sticks and spray paint in their hands. You my friends are a joke and a shame for both anarchist ideals and for modern society. I saw with my own eyes how they vandalized and destroyed private property while the other demonstrators confronted to make them desist from these destructive practices to which they reacted violently. You friends of mine are poor "charlatan" puppets. In addition, their knowledge in Spanish is even lower than a 5 year old child. Their bad spelling is capable of offending even the less educated, but that's not the point. Let's see why this behavior is not appropriate even for anarchism.
For a while I was an anarchist and a rebel of the current social system. Anarchy, as an ideology, does not call for violence, for disorder, much less for destruction. So what is anarchy? Anarchy is an ideology that proposes the destruction of government and the system of oppressive laws. Anarchy is the belief that the human being has the natural ability to live in society and harmony without the need for a controlling government and justice at hand.
The system works as follows: there is no government and the population takes all decisions. Justice is citizen, each region has a judicial board which takes justice into their hands. Violence is never allowed or justified. Anarchy allows the use of force as discretion if, and only if, it's the only mean for the people to hear their call. Anarchy is peaceful and this is the first resource for their ideological society to function.
So who are these individuals?
These characters are criminals, ladies and gentlemen. They are vandals who take advantage of mass protests to hide their crimes and justify them with their "anarchic" beliefs. These gentlemen are not anarchists, they are idiots with a desire to damage the effort and sacrifice of others with stupid crimes. These individuals are the scum of this country that are not very different from the politicians who have brought us here. You disgust me and I openly repudiate them. It makes me angry that they use and carry the anarchist flag without even knowing its meaning. Although within anarchism there is a kind of violent movement, but it never compares with the abnormality of these idiots. For people like you this country is a mess and live in these crisis. I repeat, you guys are disgusting and should not even exist as a movement or in this society, psychopaths.

5:00am – 6:00am: Wake up at some point and look around confused. I fell asleep on the couch and remember waking up a few times in my bed but I cried out for Mommy so she took me out to the couch and laid with me so I wouldn't be afraid anymore, it's dark and lonely at night in my room. Now I'm in bed with Daddy and Mommy is missing.
6:00am – 7:00am: I'm usually grumpy from waking up too early, closer to 5:00am, or happy because I woke up closer to 6:00am. Regardless, I've sat with my Gigi and drank some milk and am now roaming the house. Turns out Mommy was in the bathroom playing with her hair and putting that funny stuff on her face.
7:00am – 8:00am: Mommy and Daddy left some time ago and I've spent time outside in the back yard with my Gigi and Sophie. Sophie does not look like me at all. She's always walking about on all 4 legs, has WAY more hair than I do and never talks to me like everyone else. I've also eaten the eggs Gigi makes me each morning. I eat in between my adventures, who has time to sit?!?
8:00am – 10:00am: I've been back outside again. I love outside. Whenever one of the doors in the place opens and I see my chance, I run for that door. Nature calls me to her. The wind dances through my hair and play in the water in my pool. Slapping my hands into the water and tosses it around brings me great joy. I don't even notice that my diaper is soaked and sagging, I'm having too much fun.
10:00am – 12:00pm: With any luck I'm in dreamland. My mornings are so busy that they make me sleepy. Sometimes I try to stay awake though, what if I miss something?!?! If I rebel enough and decide not to sleep my Gigi will take me for a walk. We go to the store where all the people smile at me and tell me how much I've grown. I like these people.
12:00pm – 3:00pm: This is a tricky time for me. I'm both running around the couch and laughing with pure joy or I've decided to sleep. It really all depends on my mood I guess. Being stuck in this small body is hard. I can't reach anything. I yell and shout for what I want but nobody seems to understand. I'm working on learning the language of my Mommy.
3:00pm – 4:00pm: My Mommy will be home anytime. I'm pacing back and forth hoping it makes her get here faster. Sometimes I think it works! When she walks through that door I throw my arms in the air and squeal at her. I want her to know how much I missed her. I'm pretty sure she missed me too, she drops all her stuff and holds her arms open to me. She smiles really big and keeps saying she loves me.
4:00 – 7:00pm: This time of day is always hectic. My Daddy comes home during this time and always picks me up to hug and kiss me. I let him, I like to play with the dark glasses on his face. Mommy never lets me play with her glasses, but I can get my Daddy to do anything! Mommy usually gives me food in my chair during this time, then we go play again before bath time. I LOVE BATH TIME! There are bubbles in the water and I try to eat them. I also splash around and giggle then look to my Mommy to see if she's smiling. She always is when I act like this, so I do it some more. I'm not a fan of getting my face in the water, it's harder to breathe that way. After my bath Mommy snuggles with me on the couch and I drink my milk. It's nice to lay on Mommy, she's very soft and rubs my back. It all gets fuzzy at this point. I try to run around some more but my arms and legs can't keep up so I fall on my butt a lot. That's ok, I'll just do it all again tomorrow.

Grand Traverse County assistant prosecutor, Bob Cooney, said jurors were not able to reach a verdict on the other two counts and was not sure if Strange would be retried at a later date. "We are not going to consider this lightly whether or not to pursue this further," Cooney said Friday.
Strange, who had been arrested on April, 15, 2002, for allegedly making false bomb threats to the NMC campus in Traverse City, could have received a maximum penalty of four years in prison and a $2,000 fine for each charge if he had been found guilty.
He was accused of using a long distance calling card to make bomb threats on Nov. 13, 2001 and Feb. 4 and 23, 2002. Traverse City Police, who conducted a six-month investigation into the case allegedly searched phone records and were reportedly able to trace the calls back to Strange's calling card.

SACRAMENTO – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and California's top lawmakers are set to resume talks Monday with the hope of hammering out the final details on a deal to close the state's $26.3 billion budget deficit.
The negotiations come as the state pays its bills with IOUs for the first time in nearly 20 years and as major credit agencies threaten the state's already basement-level bond rating. The dismal economy has forced a new round of cuts just 4 1/2 months after California closed a previous $42 billion deficit.
The state's four top legislative leaders had been scheduled to meet with the Republican governor Sunday to work out what all sides expected to be the final budget deal. But the meeting was abruptly postponed by scheduling conflicts.
Assembly Speaker Karen Bass said she expects a budget vote by Thursday despite Sunday's delay.
"I feel very, very upbeat that we really will be able to have a deal in the next day or so," said Bass, a Democrat from Los Angeles.
Aides to the governor and leaders spent the weekend trying to work out legislative language that could resolve the remaining issues.
Those issues include borrowing from local governments, guaranteeing that schools will be repaid money they lose during poor economic times, and saving money for future budget emergencies.
They also include Schwarzenegger's plan to permit oil drilling from an existing rig off the Santa Barbara coast. The proposal opposed by many conservation groups would be the state's first new offshore oil project in more than 40 years.
"It's worth a couple billion dollars and has the added benefit of tearing down those oil rigs at the end, so it's good for the environment," Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear said Sunday. He said terms of the lease are still being worked out, but the drilling would likely run for 20 to 30 years.
Most of California government would continue to shut down for three Fridays each month through June because of employee furloughs ordered by Schwarzenegger. The three furlough days effectively reduce most state workers' pay by about 14 percent. But officials said state employees will not likely have to endure an additional 5 percent salary cut that the governor had proposed.
The largest state employee union, Service Employees International Union Local 1000, is asking its members to authorize job actions that could include a walkout to protest the furloughs. The ballots are due by July 31.
"I'm extremely angry," said union president Yvonne Walker, who represents 95,000 of the more than 200,000 state workers. "That's money that's not being spent in each of the counties in California by state workers."
Legislative leaders were trying to work out the details of borrowing $4 billion from local governments.
Cities and counties already are laying off firefighters and police officers because of their own budget problems, and some are threatening to sue if the state takes their money for its own needs. Legislative leaders said they have little choice, however, once Republicans led by Schwarzenegger refused to consider raising state taxes or fees.
"Any way you cut it, local government will feel the pain, as will most Californians," said Bass. "There is no way that we get out of this budget without everyone feeling the pain."
The leaders have a tentative deal to repay schools $9.5 billion in installments in future years without amending the state Constitution. The money was cut from schools last year, and Democrats and Schwarzenegger had differed on the legal and fiscal means to reimburse them under the requirements of voter-approved Proposition 98. The measure sets minimum funding levels for schools.
They were still negotiating the final levels of cuts to state programs and proposals Schwarzenegger says are needed to limit waste and fraud. Aides said negotiators had scaled back Schwarzenegger's proposals for dramatic cuts to state prisons, but hadn't decided if early releases of inmates would still be needed.
"We're getting closer," McLear said. "But there's not final agreement on any of those issues."

Heatset-web wars: IVE grabs PacMags contract
IVE Group has swiped a key four-year contract from rival PMP to print the entire stable of titles of leading Seven West Media-owned magazine publisher Pacific Magazines.
The majority of PacMags titles – including Marie Claire, Family Circle, That's Life!, Who, Men's Health, Women's Health, InStyle, Home Beautiful, Girlfriend, Virgin Australia Voyeur and Diabetic Living – will transition to IVE in mid-October, while the remaining two mastheads – New Idea and Better Homes & Gardens – will follow in January 2018.
"We are delighted to be expanding our services with Pacific Magazines," says IVE Group MD Warwick Hay. "Our capacity to provide high quality on time delivery for a range of publications is underpinned by our current $40 million investment program to upgrade technology in Blue Star WEB and the establishment of our Franklin WEB operation in NSW.
IVE Group recently shifted construction of its major heatset-web printing plant from Seven Hills to a larger existing facility at Huntingwood in Sydney's west.
Pacific Magazines CEO Gereurd Roberts says: "Blue Star WEB have been valued partner since 2005, and we are pleased to be taking our relationship to the next level."
The contract snatch is the latest shot in a heat-set web printng war between the two giants.
In January, IVE won the multi-million-dollar contract to print Coles Supermarkets' monthly catalogue from IPMG, effective 1 July 2017.
The deal came just weeks after IVE completed a $116 million takeover of Franklin Web and AIW – a move seen as a counter to the market dominance of rival PMP – and weeks before PMP's takeover over of IPMG was approved by the ACCC.
PMP prints Bauer and News Life Media magazines, as well as a host of catalogues including Woolworths, Harvey Norman, Bunnings, Officeworks, Aldi, Metcash, Myer, David Jones and Ikea.
The two major players dominate over 90% of the catalogue market.
One Response to "Heatset-web wars: IVE grabs PacMags contract"
Inky McFeesaid:
Not the lucrative contract it once was. I assume it's for less than the existing contract value which was already very low margin. No secret that Pac Mags have no love for PMP going back to the days they were the same business. Hopefully IVE aren't just buying business to prop up the share-price which seems to be under significant pressure since the PE Investor sold out, and the Seligs sold down.

In my reflections on the 25 years of ministering here at Victory, I have great memories. I remember former students who have called my cell phone and just wanted to check in with me and see how I was doing. Once, after many years, a student from my second year here visited us. He, his wife, and baby girl were such a blessing. We had lunch, talked about their ministry and walk with God. Those calls, from Chicago and Utah, and the visits from former students brought me face to face with what Victory is all about. We are building relationships that go deep, reaching the hearts. We love these guys, really. The natural product of those relationships is heart influence. As Scripture is wrapped around the daily life here at Victory, their view of life is challenged and biblical answers are found to be true. That impacts the foundation of their worldview. That reveals the cracks in their self-focused worldview and brings light to the solid foundation of the biblical worldview. That impacts the inner man, the heart, life. As they see themselves as sinners in need of a savior, we then begin to show them the value of Christ and His work on the cross. When they see that at heart level, real growth of heart begins, life changes.
We have seen such good fruit in reaching the hearts of struggling young men that as I reflect, my adrenaline begins to flow and my focus is narrowed. Deep relationships have the ability to produce long-term influence and good fruit. Why I sometimes forget the sureness of the biblical sowing and reaping principle puzzles me. It puzzles me because one would think that by now I should recognize that correctly applying the Word of God produces good fruit. After all, good fruit is what those who are in Christ were designed to produce (Eph. 2:10). That is what God is in the business of doing in us. We recognize that we don't see that fruit in every boy we work with, which reveals that our relationships didn't get as deep as we wanted them to get. However, even with those we often see in the later years when they do finally grow up and commit themselves afresh to God, they call back and want us to pray, and they want to visit.
I have had the opportunity to work with well over a hundred young men in my time here. Many of those have gone on to succeed in life as policemen, firemen, missionaries, faithful employees, and great husbands and fathers. Today, in the day to day struggles of ministering to the guys we see little rays of hope as the light of the Word is shined on their hearts. That is what Victory is all about. We press on, influencing, reaching into one heart at a time, and seeing God work His work of changing lives from darkness to light.

IT is always at the leading edge when it comes to innovating and adopting new technologies. But it is difficult to predict which trends will make it in the long run and which ones will fall by the wayside. The way I see it, any trend in IT follows the same cycle:
1. Recognition (Hey, this is cool!)
2. Commercialization (Hey, we can make money out of this!)
3. Overhype (It'll cure whatever ails ya!)
4. Disillusionment (Hey, it doesn't work as advertised!)
5. And from here, it will either fall from grace (It doesn't work—NEXT!) or go into the mainstream (It's got its value if we use it right).
I believe that this whole cloud thing is hovering between the overhype and disillusionment phases. For every breathless vendor-authored white paper or LinkedIn post saying their cloud solution will have an ROI of 200% and can be implemented within 20 minutes, there will be comments from experienced consultants with real-world experience cautioning of potential pitfalls.
Let's focus today on the cloud ERP phenomenon. Maybe it is time to take a reality check and see if it will fall from grace (like fidget spinners will do any day now), or become part of the mainstream. While my money is that it will enter the mainstream and in a not-too-far-off future and on-premise ERP will become a bit of an anomaly, keep in mind a few points when you are considering a cloud-based ERP system.
1. Rethink your implementation trade-offs
Business processes are complex beasts, and sometimes it doesn't matter if you are a $10 million, $100 million, or a $1 billion company; the complexity cannot magically disappear with any system that you put in, regardless of how cloudy it is. Yes, the cloud systems are generally easier to implement and more user-friendly, but with that comes the loss of flexibility and the degree of customization allowed.
This is where you need to take a step back. How much business benefit will you get by putting in something quickly and easily with a cloud solution rather than waiting to design a "big bang," heavily customized solution using your typical on-premise ERP implementation methods? Instead of spending months or years with an army of consultants at your premises, would it be easier to get up and running quickly on some part of your business, bringing other parts into the cycle as time goes by and reaping the benefits along the way?
When you select your implementation consultant, asking these questions will go a long way towards understanding their mindset and seeing if they are the right people to implement your cloud solution. I have found from personal experience that the cloud is not just a technical construct; it is a mindset. I have had to rewire my own thought processes to understand how this new world works, and you'd want people working on your businesses who truly understand this.
But wait, you say—does this mean I will end up with a hodgepodge of cloud solutions not talking to each other?
Excellent point, and this is a very common pitfall in any cloud ERP project. But fear not, look at my next point.
2. Completeness of solution is still important
Selecting a cloud ERP vendor these days is really like being a kid in a candy store. There will be tons of appealing videos on YouTube where office workers wearing soft pastel colors gaze blissfully at beautifully rendered ERP screens on their PCs or tablets. If you peruse their websites, each one will take you by the hand and show you how mundane tasks such as doing a vendor payment run pretty much feels like the Rapture. But being hardened industry professionals, we know we need to penetrate all this and understand what's really importants: How can the vendor support our end-to-end business?
It doesn't really make sense for a cloud ERP software to send your accounting staff to Rapture while still keeping your shop floor team in Hades.
This means we need to look for a vendor that can indeed support our whole business. To my first point above, this does NOT mean that you need to put everything in all at once. It does mean, though, that you should put completeness of portfolio as a high priority.
For example, does the vendor have a clear strategy on how it will support your central finance processes (and for most ERP vendors, this should be absolutely mandatory). How about your HR and payroll? Customer relationships? Projects? Manufacturing? Analytics? How about all this Big Data that you've been hearing about?
Oh, yes, and I read in some online paper that we also need to think about something called machine learning, whatever that is. You get the picture.
Any consultant will tell you that one of the more intractable problems in an ERP implementation is integration between systems. And common sense dictates that cross-vendor integration is much more difficult than getting two or more pieces of software made by the same vendor talk to each other. Keep this in mind when you do your vendor selection, and don't base it just on how blissful the online demos are.
3. Cloud and on premise are not mutually exclusive
Unless we are living in the Matrix, you cannot completely leave the on-premise world behind. (Side note: isn't the Matrix the ultimate evolution of the cloud?). Why? Because your machines, your customers, and your people are still going to be on premise for the foreseeable future. In fact, the latest trend is about the Internet of Things, and these Things are going to be on-premise, even if you are going to be processing Thing-generated data on the cloud.
To my last point, consider a solution that has a clearly defined strategy around integration with the on-premise components of your business cycle. Sometimes a hybrid solution will be the best. There's no need to be overzealous in moving everything to the cloud where it does not make sense.
In conclusion, when you consider your cloud ERP journey, consider your options carefully. Look for a vendor that does not just provide a quick fix in one part of your business while leaving other areas in the cold. Do not underestimate the cost and complexity of integrations with your various systems.

super simple, super cool! and it's open source too: https://github.com/calebdre/SMSt...
If the main use case is happy birthday messages, you could build an import feature that matches up facebook friend birthdays with your contacts. Texts feel better than generic fb wall posts, so it's something I would probably use
@shaw_nelson Actually I just realised I'm not sure if you can even get that data from fb
@shaw_nelson That's not the main use-case, but it is one. It's whatever you want to send a message, but not right now
@shaw_nelson but that's actually a really great idea.

January 11, 2008 —
Children and youth genre publisher, Scholastic (bringing us the Harry Potter series), set the bar higher for publishers in announcing its intention to use more managed forest-certified and recycled paper in its books, magazines and fliers. The publishing giant also announced a new website, Scholastic's Act Green—for educating kids on ecological, environmental and socially responsible issues. In 2007, the company stood out by printing the seventh Harry Potter book on post-consumer waste paper.
Scholastic is working with the Rainforest Alliance and other groups to use paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council for 30% of their publishing over the next five years. Additionally, they are committing to 25% of their publishing paper needs coming from recycled paper (75% of which is post consumer waste). Calculations from the Environmental Defense Paper Calculator state that this use of post consumer waste paper alone will reduce greenhouse emission gasses by 23,998,000 lbs.
In 2007, Scholastic bought 95,000 tons of paper—4 percent was FSC-certified and 11 percent was post consumer waste recycled. "Scholastic's environmental purchasing policy will set the bar for publishers, and its goal of ensuring that 30 percent of its paper supply is FSC-certified by 2012 will help create more demand for paper from responsibly managed forests," observed Rainforest Alliances Executive Director, Tensie Whelan.
Scholastic is also integrating green construction and maintenance practices into its headquarters and other company buildings

Hands, Wrists and Carpal Tunnel
One of the specialized areas of our practicee has been in the treatment of problems in the hands, wrists, arms, elbows, shoulders and neck. These can come as a single area of pain, numbness or weakness, or in combination with other areas. Our reputation in this area of health restoration is so great that many people with these problems travel from great distances to receive care from us. We get calls from people suffering with these problems from New York to Tokyo.
Millions of computer workers, musicians, mechanics, athletes, writers and professionals requiring careful and repetitive use of their hands or arms have had pain invade their lives. Sometimes it cripples their activities. Numbness, weakness or lack of control and endurance can also result.
Hands and arms are an integral part of living in both work and play. Factors in the onset of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Repetitive Stress Injury, Tendinitis or related conditions can include lifestyle, dietary and glandular patterns, as well as injuries or overuse. Even your workout regime may turn out to be a culprit in aggravating your problem.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is where the bones of the wrist pinch the nerves passing through the wrist. Although surgery can be utilized for some of these disorders, it is an irreversible and radical choice of treatment, with uncertain results. Through advanced procedures in manual diagnosis of these problems, adapted from the most advanced methods employed for Olympic athletes, rapid and accurate diagnosis of these problems can be made. These techniques come from Applied Kinesiology, the chiropractic specialty that developed muscle-testing as a diagnostic method and from the Propriceptive Technique in which we specialize.
The neck is an important area to be analyzed and corrected in many hand and wrist conditions. Nerves leave the spine from the lower neck and then travel down the arm. Those nerves connect all the way down to wrist, hand, thumb and fingers. The lower neck is frequently injured in car accidents, falls and sports injuries, etc., causing pinched nerves that limit or wreck hand and wrist function.
It is quite common for hand, wrist or carpal-tunnel sufferers to also experience problems elsewhere (farther up) in the arm. A shoulder or elbow injury that was overlooked by the prior doctors, can be a key factor in these situations.
Our doctors' legendary expertise in dealing with these problems is based on the detailed testing, adjustive and nutritional procedures researched and perfected here. We have brought relief and health to sufferers of these conditions, utilizing non-invasive and non-drug methods. Highly specific hands-on chiropractic correction combined with precise nutritional support is used to cause the healing of injured joints, ligaments and inflamed nerves. State-of-the-art electronic Acuscope therapy can be used to speed healing. Therapeutic exercise and other therapy methods may be needed to finalize the correction.
We have successfully returned to normal even the hands with failed carpal tunnel or arm surgeries. Before coming to us, many of our patients had prior medications, injections, braces, chiropractic treatment and physical therapies that were failures.
This is yet another area of health where the natural way is the best way.

Based in the UK, Hideman has been in the market since seven years but somehow it has managed to stay under the radar. This is a bit baffling considering the wide range of features Hideman provides to its users.
We thought an unbiased and thorough review of Hideman was in order to take a more systematic look at what this VPN really has to offer.
Before exploring further, you can discover our detailed VPN reviews guide to check VPNs those who have outperformed the other VPNs in the market.
- Free version which requires no registration
- 256-bit encryption
- Clients for Android, iOS, Windows
- Good speed on some servers
- Torrent and P2P Support
- Free trial comes with numerous restrictions
- Some logging
- Chrome extension is unimpressive
- Connection issues on some servers
Company Overview
It is hard to find any information regarding the founders of Hideman and what motivated them to develop this VPN service. The website of Hideman itself has nothing to say about the company's history, its mission and what it has set out to achieve. Anyhow, you always expect some level secrecy from a VPN service.
Hideman Pricing and Plans Review
With Hideman, you will get three different payment plans:
- Mobile plan cost $2.9 for a month and $24.9 for an annual service. It comes with clients for both Android and iOS.
- Ultimate plan covers Windows, Chrome, Mac, iOS and Android. It costs $9 a month but you maybe be tempted to take an annual subscription for $69.
- Private VPN plan lets you choose the location of your liking and costs $9 a month. There is no annual subscription available for this plan.
As of now, Hideman does not offer any type of discount to its paying users.
Hideman Payment Method Review| Bitcoin and Other Secure Options
Hideman accepts payments in form of Mobiamo, Mint, Perfect Money, OkPay, Webmoney and Bitcoin. There are manuals available Hideman's website to guide you through this entire process. The customers of Hideman are entitled to a refund within 30 days, but there are few standard safeguards to protect any potential misuse of this facility.
Hideman Free Trial Review | Numerous Restrictions and Limitations
"Hideman free trial client"
Hideman offers free trial that initially lasts for 6 hours. After that, you can use the service for 4 hours a week. These 4 hours are divided into one-hour blocks that must be utilized in a single sitting as the countdown doesn't stop even if you close the app.
While using the free trial, you are not allowed to access the servers in UK, US, Germany, Australia and some other more 'desirable' locations. This means you will face trouble accessing services that are exclusive to these regions.
What you do get are the servers of some Eastern-European states such as Ukraine, Bulgaria and Russia along with Canada and Luxemburg.
Although the free trial comes with a number of restrictions, it will still attract hordes of casual users, as it requires no registration whatsoever.
Hideman's Customer Support
There is considerable customer support available on Hideman's website. There is a FAQ section, which has concise answers to several basic questions. Some may find these answers to be 'too concise' but we appreciate the straightforward approach of Hideman.
You will also find some useful manuals on the company's website. These manuals provide a step by step guide on how to configure Hideman's connection for platforms such as Windows, Linux, Android, Mac, iOS and others.
There is no live chat available on the website but you can use Skype and Jabber to converse with Hideman's representative. For this Hideman review, we mailed them some queries and received a reply within 24 hours.
Although the support system of Hideman is fairly standard – the company has taken some extra steps to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. On its terms and service, Hideman mentions that its customers have the right to;
"Inform on detected errors in Company's system operation and require for compensation for service downtime in case of no opportunity to use the service".
This means that Hideman is willing to provide compensation to customers whenever the system fails to perform. In our experience, this offer is hard to find anywhere else.
Hideman Compatibility Review |Apps for All Devices
Hideman is compatible on Windows, iOS, Android, Linux and Mac. It also features browser extension for Chrome, Explorer, Firefox and Opera. This basically covers all smartphone, Tablet and desktop devices. If users choose the ultimate plan, they can connect to four devices at once.
Hideman for Android
For Android, Hideman has designed a simple interface that can be operated without much effort. The free version of Hideman allows you to use the VPN for 5 hours a week. However, you can use it more by watching the ads on the app.
Hideman for Linux
Linux user can access Hideman via OpenVPN. For this, they are required to configure OpenVPN on Ubuntu. Users can seek guidance from Hideman's website for this purpose.
Hideman for iPhone
The features of Hideman's iOS app are pretty much the same as its features on other systems. The user interface of the app is simple, attractive and can be navigated without much difficulty.
Hideman for Windows
Since the focus of this Hideman VPN review is its Windows client, we can say with some certainty that this app is practical and to the point. You can tweak with the setting but for most part, you don't need to. Of all systems on which it's available, we have found Hideman to work the best on the Windows.
Hideman's Chrome Extension
Chrome extension of Hideman does not have many features and is pretty unreliable. Frankly, we recommend skipping it for the Windows client.
Review of Hideman's Speed | Inconsistent Connections
We tested Hideman for speed and the results were somewhat mixed. Of the 7 servers which were available, Ukraine provided the best speed.
"Best Speed provided by Hideman's Ukraine Server"
"Speed provided by Hideman's Bulgaria Server"
To review Hideman's speed, we ran three trials for the Ukraine's server and the results varied to a great degree. Meanwhile, the server of Bulgaria provided abysmal speed.
|Download Speed
|Upload Speed
To compare, the usual speed on our local connection is around 8 Mbps.
"Speed on our local server"
In the end, one does expect VPNs to throttle the speed of the connection. And for us, the speed on different Hideman servers can be classified as 'decent'. But what really bothered us was the inconsistency of the connection and the constant fluctuations on the Hideman's servers.
Hideman Servers Review |More than 20 Locations
The paid client of Hideman provides access to servers from more than 20 different countries. And for non-paying users, the choice is limited to 6 countries. Conversely, you will find differences in performance of the available servers.
While we tested the trial version of Hideman, some connections provided superior speed than others and some did not work at all. On some attempts, the servers of Russia, Canada and Romania completely failed to connect. But these issues are mostly present in the trial version and the paid client promises to be better.
Protocols and Encryption
While writing this Hideman review, we were pleasantly surprised to learn that Hideman utilizes a 256-bit military grade encryption. This makes it one the most secure and reliable VPNs in the globe. Moreover, you get two connection protocols with Hideman, namely, TCP and UDP.
TCP or Transmission Control Protocol is widely regarded as a safe and dependable connection protocol. Its function involves sending data packets to its target website and awaiting a response. Upon receiving a negative or positive response, it either sends another data packet or resends the last one.
On the other hand, UDP does not wait for a response while sending the data packets. This makes it faster than TCP.
These are the only two connection protocols provided by Hideman and they are more than enough to guarantee digital privacy and definitive protection.
Hideman Logs and Privacy Policy Review | Some Grey Areas
While most VPN providers consistently stress on their "no-logs" policy, Hideman takes a more nuanced approach in this matter. On its website, the company gives a clear warning that it does store the information of non-paying users.
The information recorded by Hideman of free trial users includes:
- Account used
- Destination IP address
- Volume of data transferred
- Time of initial data transfer for the last 14 days of use
The company also makes it clear that it bound to release the information of an account if the said account has been involved in hacking, financial fraud, child pornography and other life-threating criminal activities.
In contrast to this, Hideman is extremely clear about not storing any logs of its paying customer.
Using Torrent and P2P on Hideman
Torrents, Tor and I2P are few of the prominently advertised features of Hideman. The VPN service promises torrents 'without restrictions and penalties' and offers access to onion and i2p resources.
In its free trial – the servers of Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria and Luxemburg are marketed to be appropriate for torrent users. But when we tested these servers, only Ukraine was able to provide a decent torrenting experience.
"Torrent Speed for Ukraine Server"
While we are reviewing Hideman's torrenting prowess, the server of Ukraine provided download speed of around 500 kB/s. This is not too bad considering that the torrenting speed on our local server is normally in excess of 800 kB/s.
Another thing to like Hideman is that it lets you know which countries have put restrictions on torrents and P2P networking. Therefore, on its client, you will see red marks on locations such as Russia and Canada where torrents are illegal.
Nevertheless, to a certain extent, the free users will find the torrenting experience on Hideman to be rather average. And not to forget, the 3GB download limit will frustrate many torrent lovers.
Final Verdict
The conclusion you can draw from this Hideman review is that you need to test the waters before picking this VPN service. And to credit Hideman- they offer you a free plan without any registration to do just that.
Our experience Hideman suggests that they strive to provide a pleasing VPN experience but their service is not without its faults. What they give you is a strongly encrypted and P2P friendly app that can used on a variety of devices.
Yet all this comes with server issues, logging concerns and a number of restrictions. In any case, the final decision rests with you.
Your feedback is important to us. Let us know if this article was helpful?

So I have been doing 4:3 (3 days fasting as I have a lot to lose) for three weeks. So far I have lost 5lb, 4lb and 1lb (total 10lb) and I promise I have had 4 days a week when we have eaten takeaway and I haven't been careful or counted calories.
Fingers crossed it will continue, but I have never done a diet that is so flexible.

I LOVE fresh Dungeness crab! And am in the perfect spot to eat them until I'm sick!
Crabbing season started 3-4 weeks ago, so broke down and bought our licenses, crab pots, floats etc. First time out we got 9 good sized one. Rick, a neighbor across the road, brought bait - enormous clams he dug and some old turkey that was freezer burned and not for human consumption. We zipped out to his favorite spot and threw out the traps in abour 60' of water.
There is a limit of 5 per person and the crabs must be male, and measure 6" across the carapace. And you can only set pots Thursday through Monday. We pulled 9 that day, throwing back several rock crabs in favor of the Dungies!
I don't have a huge pot so had to cook my 5 in batches. (Note to self: get a huge stock pot.) Oh they were sooo good. They don't need any butter or anything when they are that fresh. They were so big, I couldn't eat a whole one, so made room in the freezer for the stash.
Yesterday evening, we caught a break in the rain and headed out. I hadn't been over to Rick's to dig clams for bait, so decided to try our luck with canned cat food. We heard from the other neighbor, Joe, that there had been a party the previous day at the beach near where we drop the traps, and the party goers had raided the pots and even stolen one of his. But he thought they had probably gone home. But as we roared across the bay, I could see masses - well at least 10 - cars at the park so we decided to drop the traps in a different area away from them. We picked a spot, dropped the traps, made a note of where they were, and headed home, hoping for the best. And making it home before it started to rain again.
This morning dawned beautiful and clear. What a surprise - and what a pleasure. It was still and perfect as we sped out to see what we caught. The floats were easy to spot and we eased up on the first one, and I leaned over to grab the line and started hauling away, coiling the line as I brought it on board. It felt very light, and sure enough, all we had was an enormous star fish, wrapped around the can of cat food. He didn't want to let go, but I finally managed to release him back into the depths. We thought maybe crab don't like cat food.
Next trap was a different story! I could tell, as soon as I had pulled in the slack, that it was heavy. And there they were - three monster, male crabs. I opened the trap door and grabbed the first one by the back leg and dropped him into the bucket. Same with the second and third. Then number three managed to haul himself out and landed on the deck. But I managed to grab him again and toss him back into the bucket and loaded the trap on top. Good thing I had thick leather gloves on, too! There claws are nasty!
Back at the dock, I cleaned them. You grab the back leg - carefully - then smack them down hard on the dock, cracking the shell and killing them. Then you pull off the shell, squirt out the innards with a fresh water hose jet, then pop in a pot of boiling water with some seasoning for about five minutes.
I went ahead and cracked and picked out all the meat, a long, tedious project. Now the crab meat is freezing, packed in a muffin pan for 12 individual servings that I will vacuum bag later today.
