Jim Newbery is Edinburgh-based freelance developer and having only recently moved to Scotland he attended the 2011 Culture Hack Scotland to engage more the Scottish digital community. Having recently been at a party where he had been speaking to Ian Rankin but hadn't realised it until afterwards, he decided to take the Edinburgh International Book Festival's (EIBF) listings and make a mobile site which tied a lot more information to each event – such as bibliographies, press mentions and of course photos – so he'd know what every author looked like should he ever meet them at a party.
Andrew Coulton, EIBF's Admin Director saw the great potential of the hack that Jim was able to make in 24 hours and working together it developed into the full official mobile site of the festival in 2011 and 2012.
And we have made the code for the mobile site available free and open source through github. And so if you are an organisation anywhere around the world who'd like to use the code, visit this github repository and talk to a developer about how to integrate your own listings. We estimate it will be approximately 5-10% of the cost of having to make it a mobile site from scratch.

Who Played James Bond: A Complete History
If you asked someone who the first actor to play James Bond was, they would probably answer Sean Connery. Similarly, if you were to ask how many actors had played the role, most people would say 5 or 6. You may be surprised to know that the above answers are wrong. Below, we give you the complete history of all of the actors who have played James Bond, not only in the official series, but in unofficial films, TV series and radio shows.
1954 Barry Nelson
In early 1954, Ian Fleming was paid $1000 for the television rights for Casino Royale. The novel was adapted into an hour long TV special and was broadcast on CBS on October 21st, 1954 as an episode of the Climax! Mystery Theatre.
It was a low budget black and white episode that was adapted by Charles Bennett, who wrote the screenplays for most of Alfred Hitchcock's films in the 1930s. It starred Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre, Linda Christian as Valerie Mathis, Michael Pate as Clarence Leiter, and American actor Barry Nelson as the first ever James Bond.
Barry played James Bond very casually, and despite several laughable fighting and torture scenes, the episode was an interesting and enjoyable rendition of Casino Royale. Peter Lorre in particular was a strong addition to the cast. The episode appears as a special feature on the DVD for the 1967 spoof film Casino Royale.
1956 Bob Holness
In 1956, Bob Holness provided the voice for James Bond in a South African radio adaption of the Ian Fleming novel Moonraker. He would later go on to become an actor and game show host for Take a Letter and Blockbusters.
The Moonraker special was arranged by the Durban Repertory Theatre. Bob has said that it was broadcast live, and as such, there is no known recording of it. It is believed that local performers from Durban voiced the other roles, and that the production was under ninety minutes.
1962 Bob Simmons
The first official EON Productions James Bond film, Dr. No, was released in 1962. It opened with the gun barrel sequence that would become a trademark of the series. James Bond, played by stuntman Bob Simmons, walked along a white backdrop, shown through the view of a henchman's gun barrel. Aware that he was being watched, Bond quickly turned and shot the assassin. Blood dripped down the screen, the gun barrel trailing off and opening to reveal the main titles.
Bob Simmons could arguably be called the first official James Bond actor, and he was in fact the first person to portray 007 in a cinema-released Bond film. Bob's scene was reused up until Goldfinger, before being reshot with Sean Connery.
1962-1967 Sean Connery
In 1962, producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman brought James Bond to the silver screen in Dr. No, based on Ian Fleming's 1958 novel. With Sean Connery's unique style, the exotic locations, and the spectacular supporting cast, Dr. No became an instant success.
Sean Connery went on to play James Bond four more times in From Russia with Love, Goldfinger, Thunderball and You Only Live Twice, before temporarily retiring from the role.
1964 Roger Moore
In 1964, between playing Simon Templar on The Saint, Roger Moore starred as James Bond in an episode of the comedy sketch show Mainly Millicent.
In the 7 minute sketch, James Bond is on holiday and goes for lunch, only to meet Russian Spy Sonia Sekova. Sonia is also on holiday, and the two spies suspect that the other is spying on them, resulting in some comical situations. Bond discovers the waiter is wearing a wig and punches him over the balcony, and the two throw several drinks over their shoulders, suspecting cyanide pills. They both get called back on to cases and end the episode with a kiss.
1967 David Niven
In the mid 1960s, American producer Charles K. Feldman acquired the film rights to Casino Royale. After a failed attempt to have it made as part of the official series, he decided to turn it into a James Bond spoof instead.
The film opens with David Niven playing a retired 007. M begs him to come back to them, and when Bond refuses, his mansion is promptly blown up! M is killed in the explosion and Bond takes over his position.
He decides to rename all of the agents to James Bond to confuse the enemy. This results in David Niven, Terence Cooper, Woody Allen, Joanna Pettet, Daliah Lavi, Peter Sellers and Ursula Andress all playing James Bond!
1969 George Lazenby
After Sean Connery's departure from the series in 1967, the producers began the search for a new James Bond. They found Australian model George Lazenby, who was the highest paid model in the world at the time.
During production, George's manager advised him against accepting a multi-movie contract, believing that the Bond movies would loose their popularity. How wrong he was. On Her Majesty's Secret Service was George Lazenby's first and last appearance in the Bond series, although in later years, he played Bond-like characters in several TV spoofs.
1971 Sean Connery
When George Lazenby retired from the series after filming On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the producers became desperate to find a new James Bond, as they had already sold part of the new film's proceedings to investors. The head of United Artists told them to bring back Sean Connery at any cost. Sean eventually agreed to do one last film, getting paid a $1.25 million base salary plus an estimated 12.5% of the profits.
Sean's performance in Diamonds Are Forever was as good as his prior Bonds, and the film was an enjoyable success. However, it would be the last time that he worked for EON Productions. Sean chose to donate his entire base salary to a Scottish education charity.

Cromwell Grant Will Enable Bilder to Work on Madison Book
ByProf. Mary Bilder (Law) has been awarded a prestigious grant from the William Nelson Cromwell Foundation to fund the work on her new book, Madison's Hand, which will explore the impact of James Madison's notes upon historic understanding of the Constitution and his mediation of the Constitutional Convention.
William Nelson Cromwell, partner of the Sullivan & Cromwell law firm in New York, established the foundation in 1930 to support legal education and research in American legal history. The foundation gives grants to assist in original research and writing on the subject and is a highly coveted award amongst American legal scholars.
In a letter awarding the grant, John Gordon, secretary of the William Nelson Cromwell Foundation, wrote: "The trustees were influenced by, among other things, the importance and originality of the subject of [Bilder's] work, the high quality of her previous publications, and the great respect for her scholarship voiced by other leaders in the field of legal history."
Describing the idea behind her book, Bilder says Madison had great influence over the interpretation of the Constitution, and the documents that led up to writing the Constitution, such as the Federalist Papers, the official Convention journal, and the first printed publication of the extant records of the ratification debates.
"Madison's Hand will combine traditional political and constitutional approaches to Madison's notes with an emphasis on biography, cultural history and constitutional historiography," Bilder said. "The book will argue that our ability to see what happened at the Convention is nearly impossible except through Madison."

Great Experience-Absolutely Recommend for Nose Job - Atlanta, GA
I wanted a rhinoplasty because I hated the big...
I had been searching for a plastic surgeon to perform a rhinoplasty for a long time because I hated my big nose. I scheduled a free consultation with Dr. Majmundar and really trusted his opinion and skill, which is why I chose him to do my surgery. Dr. M, his nurses and the ladies at the front desk were all very welcoming and easy to work with. I had my surgery at the in-patient facility which was very convenient. It's been over a year since I had my surgery and I am so happy with the results! My nose looks so much better now, and Dr. Majmundar did a great job making conservative changes that gave me the nose that I wanted. He also performed a septoplasty to fix my deviated septum and other internal issues I had. Not only does my nose look better now, but it works better too! I can breathe much better than before. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Majmundar if you are interested in getting a rhinoplasty or septoplasty. These are surgeries that should be done by a FACIAL plastic surgeon like Dr. M, not just any plastic surgeon!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm glad you had little pain! We'd love it if you'd consider sharing your before and after photos (even blurring out your eyes is fine if you'd like to preserve your identity). Pictures are SO helpful to others considering rhinoplasty.

Katsube's shiny and mighty little figurines are on display through June 30th, 2013 at the Wellcome Collection in London as part of a Spring exhibition entitled Souzou: Outsider Art from Japan.
"The word "souzou" has no linguistic equivalent in English, although in Japanese it refers to concepts of both creation and imagination. For these artists, the primary and dominant mode of expression is through the visual rather than the verbal or written. As such, there is an emotional intensity and delightful conceptual inventiveness to their works as they communicate their thoughts on culture and memory in deeply personal ways. From the grotesquely riveting pointillism of Marie Suzuki's portraits, to Shota Katsube's meticulously constructed army of action figures made from wire, to Norimitsu Kokubo's astounding cartographies of teeming urban spaces, Souzou presents an endearing collective account of the peculiar world we live in through pure and fresh eyes."

Gronk had a breakout season for the Patriots in 2011, and during the off-season he was everywhere.
In fact, he partied so much and made so many appearances, people started calling his off-season "The Summer of Gronk."
Not surprisingly, Gronkowski said a number of ridiculous things in his SI feature but the one that stood out to us the most is that he claims he doesn't feel fear.
From SI:
"He claims he does not feel fear. 'No, not at all,' he told me. What about getting crushed over the middle? 'It's all good,' he said. 'Sometimes it's cool, you want to get that feeling, to feel what it's like to get hit the hardest, when you're not looking, just so you're ready.'"
Gronkowski's family says Rob was "born without the capacity to feel fear or pain." He's always just gone for it, the first time he went skiing when he was a kid he snuck to the top of the hill and went down at full-speed. He also endured constant "ritual pummelings" from his older brothers, to which they credit his ability to break tackles so well.

"The most obvious solution is also one Blizzard steadfastly refuses to acknowledge: separate PvP and PvE damage numbers."
The recent issue and *possible* fix with Colossus Smash (a warrior ability that bypasses armor) shows that Blizzard may be changing their mind on having abilities other than just CC work differently in PvP and PvE situations. Mr. Rossi and Mr. McCurley discussed how there's a lot of people shouting that making this change will open the floodgates to all kinds of abilities having differences between PvP and PvE. But I hope that, if Blizzard decides it's a viable solution for some abilities, they'll take a good look at the frost mage with that in mind.
Yeah, except people made a lot of similar comments when Blizz changed Deep Freeze to deal damage on bosses, unfortunately that was about 18 months ago. I don't really see this as a sign of massive changes to come, more just a continuation of their current policy of only doing this in extreme circumstances.
Personally I think the next time we're likely to see a similar change will be in patch 5.1 where they decide some new spell they added in the next patch just cannot work for PVE and PVP, and we'll probably see similar comments then as well.

I thought the issue with Deep Freeze was that it was useless on any creature that was immune to stuns. But it's interesting to see that Blizzard is willing to make these sorts of exceptions. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

Fell's Point is one of the older areas of Baltimore's harbor area. I spent a lot of my afternoon walking around there because I heard so many locals talking about it when I asked them about places to go in Baltimore. I also had some of you guys suggest the area in the Comments earlier, so I decided to take you up on it!
This is a really cool part of town. Note the cobblestone roads. It is the first thing you'll notice about the area., but this is in no way a mainly historic area. Instead, you'll see it is a popular hang out point for Baltimore's, for lack of a better word, hipster crowd. Don't let that turn you off, though. Baltimore's hipsters are way more down to earth than what you normally think of when you hear that term.
I first stopped in the Broadway Market. It is an old-style market that now host a series of restaurants in an open space. Mostly, there is just bar seating. It's like you are in the kitchen with the restaurants. There is a Korean Fusion Place, a European Deli, a Burger Joint, and Sal's Seafood. Since we don't have a whole lot of seafood in the ATL, I went up to Sal's "counter." Well, it's less of a counter and more a display of fresh fish on ice. See for yourself in the pic. I had a Fish Taco Wrap and fried smelt, which is basically the fish equivalent of french fries. It was all pretty tasty.
Another place of note was the Sound Garden. This was a huge new and used music store. I could be consider a bit snobbish when it comes to music, so I went inside and saw if they had 4 rare albums I would want. They had 3, which is actually pretty impressive.
Right outside of Sound Garden, I ran into a guy who asked me outright if I like Spoken Word poetry and hip hop. Don't laugh, but I actually wrote my thesis on it. Needless to say, we talked for a while on the street. He really represented the friendly nature of the people I'm running into here in Baltimore. Also, he had a small part in The Wire, which is cool cuz I love that show. Anyway, check out Urn-Raunchi, he's a cool guy trying to show the intellectual side of Baltimore hip hop.

Creamy Curried Lentil Salad
It is nice to be home again. While I have a very bare kitchen (some borrowed knives, cutting board, pot and frypan only with a few containers), I am still happy to be starting my new life. We had dedicated more time for unpacking over the long weekend, but since we had nothing to unpack, we spent more time at my parents, thoroughly exploiting their fully functional kitchen.
We quickly gravitated to make old favourites: Tamarind Lentils, Pad Thai, and Moroccan Carrot and Chickpea Salad. Then, finally itching to make something new, I decided to make a spin on two of my other favourite salads, aka The Best Lentil Salad and The Best Chickpea Salad. This time, I used lentils, capers and currants but with a dressing more similar to the tahini-maple-curry dressing from the chickpea salad. I added some greens, too, which I like to add to lentil salads. It was so delicious, it barely lasted one meal.
Got to love simple salads like this. What is your favourite summer salad?

Eccentric Caesar Salad & Straight From the Earth Review+Giveaway
This post is a twofer.
First of all, I have a gift for all of you! A free Beyond Meat product – click here for your coupon.
I don't tend to get too excited about mock meats (it is a bit processed for my liking), but was really curious after it was selected as the "real chicken" on the Today's Show. Some things are easier to find in the United States, so with a coupon for a free product (see above), how could we refuse? Beyond Meat isn't new, but it was new to me and definitely uncannily similar to chicken, complete with the grill marks. You buy it frozen and just need to defrost it prior to serving. Thus, it was super easy to make and great source of protein.
Now for the book review, as advertised, with an eccentric Caesar salad. Eccentric because it is no standard Caesar. I mean, it is a vegan version of a decidedly un-vegan salad but the twist comes from the nutritional yeast and curry powder in the dressing and the mishmash of additional ingredients. The cashew-based dressing was simply delicious, aka awesome sauce. Paired with the fresh lettuce, buttery avocado, briny capers and hemp seeds, it was a superfood-packed salad. (And by superfoods, I mean super tasting foods!) Instead of the herby croutons, I wanted this to be a complete meal and thus added the chicken-less strips overtop. The strips look a bit too perfectly rectangular but they tasted great.
The recipe comes from Straight from the Earth, by mother and daughter team Myra and Marea Goodman of Earthbound Farm fame. Neither one is vegan but have created a gorgeous cookbook filled with tantalizing recipes. There is something for everyone between the two cooks. I found myself naturally gravitating to Marea's recipes, who learned her vegan culinary tricks while living and cooking for fellow vegans in a co-op while at college. Her mother's tastes are more classical. As an example, Marea has a recipe for chipotle-lime Brazil nuts and Myra has a recipe for double-roasted maple-spiced hazelnuts. OK, OK, both sound delicious. Lots of delicious recipes, including a nut-free crispy baked kale chips with nutritional yeast and shiitake mushroom, water chestnut and tofu lettuce cups.
Thankfully, the publisher allowed me to share the recipe and giveaway the cookbook to a reader living in the continental United States. To be entered in the random draw for the cookbook, please leave a comment below telling me what you think of mock meats. The winner will be selected at random on June 8, 2014. Good luck!

Pan-Roasted Cauliflower Steaks with Tomatoes and Capers (& Eating Cauliflower Greens)
Lest you think this blog is only made up of Asian and Southeast Asian/Indian, or ridiculously easy treats, sometimes it is nice to branch out a bit. Branch out into fancy foods, even if Rob is away.
The joke is on you. This may look impressive, but it is still very easy to make.
Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that is finally getting its time in the limelight. Is cauliflower the new kale? Roasted, riced, pureed, mashed, curried, I have done it all. The last one on my hit-list was to make cauliflower steaks.
Basically, you roast or bake thick slabs of cauliflower and season them in any combination of flavours. I think it was Denis Cotter, in For The Love of Food, who admitted he could only ever get 2 steaks from one head of cauliflower. He is correct. Try carefully cutting cauliflower and you will still end up with cauliflower carnage. But at least I procured two cauliflower steaks along with some bigger chunks.
For this version of cauliflower steaks, I opted to pan-roast the cauliflower, creating a lovely layer of caramelization. It is flavoured simply, with tomatoes, capers, garlic, chile flakes and salt and pepper (do not skimp on the seasoning). And the neatest part of this recipe? I used the whole head of cauliflower, leaves and all. (I used the leftover cauliflower crumbles in the raw caramel apple). Gosh only knows why I always used to discard cauliflower leaves, but it is an edible green. Like bok choy, the stems are thick and crunchy and the bitty leaves are like baby greens. It all went into the dish.
In truth, I served this with a healthy blob of hummus on the side. After which, I reminded myself of Susan's hummus-crusted cauliflower steak recipe I had bookmarked. Next time, for sure. :)
Have you ever eaten cauliflower greens?
This is my submission to this week's Weekend Herb Blogging, hosted by Graziana, and Virtual Vegan Linky Potluck.
Raw Vegan Smoked Salmon and Scallion Cashew Cheese Cucumber Rolls (Aux Vivres Végé-Lox)
I wasn't going to join in…
But then I saw this article co-authored by one of my former classmates debunking Dr Oz. I may have done a little cheer and a happy dance. I couldn't keep quiet. Please read it and tell me what you think.
It seems like the new year ushers in the applause for "healthy" fasts and diets. I condone a balanced diet but not starvation. I don't believe in miracle foods. While I tried a sweetener-free challenge last month, I am back to eating fruits and chocolate. Fruits are filled with vitamins, anti-oxidants and fiber and too good to pass up.
I am certainly not doing a juice cleanse. I was gifted my grandmother's juicer, but have only made juice a handful of times so far. I juice because I like the taste of fresh juice. Proponents of juice cleanses focus on the increased consumption of vegetables (more than one could eat in their raw form), lack of fibre and a way to detox your body and lose weight. If you are not one to eat vegetables and enjoy juice, then yes, this could be a way to consume more nutrients found in vegetables but it does not replace eating whole vegetables. If you are healthy, there is no evidence that your liver, kidney or stomach needs a rest to assist removal of toxins. The higher glycemic index of juice (without fibre) may actually cause one to gain weight.
There is evidence, though, that vegan diets (moreso than vegetarian diets) protect against cancer. A study in BMJ from earlier this summer suggests that low carb/high protein diets are associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events, mainly exacerbated by those consuming animal protein. I recently added a link to Vegan Health on my side bar which has a lot of good information about nutrition advice for vegans, including supplementation (gotta get the vitamin B12), especially if consuming a raw food diet.
In any case, for those of you with a leftover juice pulp otherwise destined for the compost, or those with an excess of carrots, or those who rave about Aux Vivres' raw smoked salmon, this dish is for you.
My last visit to Montreal had me visiting the vegan restaurant for a second time. I have recreated their delicious Macro Bowl with tempeh, greens and a miso-tahini sauce, but also wanted to recreate their raw smoked salmon, or végé-lox as they call it. Made with carrot pulp and seasoned with red onion, parsley, dulse and liquid smoke, it is a delicious spread combined with their tofu cream cheese and capers. I used shallots and dill and added capers directly into the spread for a different twist. Instead of tofu, I went all raw with a scallion cashew cheese rolled into a light cucumber roll.
If you want something more sweet for your carrot juice pulp, I highly recommend these raw carrot cupcakes. What is your take on juice fasts? On miracle weight-loss products?
Any favourite recipes for juice pulp?

Lemon Mediterranean Lentil Salad
How often do you second guess a recipe? Something just doesn't seem right… an odd ingredient, a different preparation technique…. what do you do? Try something new or resort to your old habits?
Even a small change in herbs or ingredients can change a meal, and a new technique can have great results. But sometimes, it doesn't make sense.
Dreena Burton's recipe for this Lemon Mediterranean Lentil Salad had me scratching my head. Cook my lentils in lemon juice? With oil? Had I not learned my lesson with the Green Mango Curry? Acid makes for firm beans. Even dry-toasting makes beans keep their shape. I want my beans to cook! Heck, I already know that the secret to great lentil salads is to use French du Puy lentils. Quick cooking, they also keep their shape and hold up well to salads.
So, I forged ahead… ignoring the plea to simmer the lentils in lemon juice. Forgoing the suggestion to toast them beforehand.
My mistake: The original recipe didn't say to drain the lentils. So I didn't. I should have. The glory of this salad comes from the simmering finale of the herbs and tomatoes with the cooked lentils. The olives, capers and lemon zest add a delicious mix of flavours that permeate the lentils in a great way. Except, because I had omitted the lemon juice and toasting, they kept cooking. They became mushy. Still uber delicious, but not as firm as I prefer for my lentil salads. Not as photogenic as I would like, but this recipe was too delicious not to share pronto. I know I will be remaking this, during the perpetual season of summer potluck gatherings, but I did not want you to be deprived of such a great dish… although may I suggest actually following the recipe? ;) Let me know how it goes!
Here are some other great Mediterranean bean salad recipes:

11-Spice Lentil Salad with Capers and Currants
What will it take to get you to make a recipe?
For me, I doddle between what I have already in my fridge, to what is on sale at the grocery store, to really wanting to make a specific dish. I waver between recipes with a lot of positive reviews, or from my favourite cookbooks and blogs, to more unique recipes with my favourite ingredients. But mostly, it is dictated by what needs to be used up in the fridge. This is why I have a hard time making recipes that are purely from pantry staples (except after returning from vacation and being welcomed by an empty fridge).
I bookmarked The Best Lentil Salad, Ever at My New Roots last year. With a name like that, from a blog that I admire, how could I not want to make it? I adore lentils, especially French du Puy lentils in salads. Then Sarah posted it a second time this spring for her stint at Martha Stewart, and her friend commented:
This salad was the reason that I became friends with Sarah way back in Nutrition School. It is so delicious and easy to make. Don't get intimidated by the amount of ingredients. This one is a keeper (just like Sarah!)
How cute is that?
Suffice it to say, it has been on my to-do list for a while and I was just waiting for the right opportunity.
It still took me a few months to break it out, but I made it for a recent potluck I hosted. Not that my fridge was bare, but the gathering came together a bit faster than my grocery shopping allowed. Perfect timing. Experimentation with friends.
I had witnesses. We unanimously agreed this was a wonderful lentil salad! Sweet, savoury, and salty, deep and complex, warming yet refreshing… and quite addictive! I stuck with the base of the recipe, tinkering only minorly with the spices (decreased the pepper and chili flakes), and thought the capers and currants were fabulous. The ingredient list is long, with 11 different spices, but they really blend harmoniously. To be honest, I was a bit worried when I first tasted the salad, but it was much better after an overnight marinade. If you can find the French du Puy lentils, they are incredible in stand alone lentil salads such as this. But if you cannot find the French variety, do not let that impede you from making the salad – green lentils would work, too. Furthermore, in case this becomes a staple recipe in your kitchen, feel free to experiment with your favourite dried fruit, vegetables, sprouts, nuts and seeds. Personally, I loved it as is, without too much distraction, and loved editions included some chopped apple and mixed greens too.
The Best Lentil Salad, Ever. For Sure. Make. This. Now.
This is my submission to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays, to this month's Bookmarked Recipes, and to this month's My Legume Love Affair, hosted by Preeti.
Spanish Chickpea Salad with Capers and Roasted Red Peppers
I have been on such a chickpea kick, adding them to my recent salads, that I am starting to wonder whether I should try to make them from dry. I am all for dry beans, as they are infinitely cheaper and probably taste better, too. Lentils are a no brainer as they cook up quickly and don't need an overnight soak. That overnight soak, ie. advance preparation, is usually not that onerous since I routinely plan my meals days in advance. However, I have not had good luck with cooking dry chickpeas nor black beans, incidentally my two favourite beans – they just don't seem to work. I remember having a pool of black soup with hard beans when I cooked black beans the first time. Does anyone have suggestions? Other than buy beans from a high-turnover bean store? (Bestwin definitely fits the bill here).
The good news is that canned beans work just as well for this dish! :D
I highly recommend roasting your own red peppers, though. I know you can buy them in a can, but freshly roasted peppers are infinitely juicier, tastier and healthier since they aren't packed in oil.
When you have a simple salad, such as this one, each ingredient counts. And this salad is delicious: the sweet roasted red peppers are paired with the creamy, nutty pan-fried chickpeas, and they are dressed with a minty red wine vinegar vinaigrette with a sour note from capers. Lovely for picnics as a side salad, or even a main meal as the beans are quite filling. Traditionally this is served as a tapa, or appetizer, in Spanish cuisine.
I originally found the recipe on Smitten Kitchen, who adapted it from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone. I found that there was a fair bit of oily dressing left over, so I modified the recipe to increase the red peppers and chickpeas. I also pan-fried the chickpeas in some of the oil, since pan-fried chickpeas taste a lot better than chickpeas straight from a can (the lesson I learned while making the utterly delicious warm chickpea and artichoke salad).
Allow the salad to mingle its flavours a few hours before serving and serve at room temperature. Leftovers are equally good, if not better. :)

Batman: Earth One Review
In 2010 DC Comics released a new take on there already established superheroes, the title is called Earth One. Dc Comics answer to Marvel Comics Ultimate universe, what's awesome about this new interpretation on heroes like Superman and now Batman is placing their already known origins and placing them in a new "modern" setting. This new era of graphic novel storytelling started with J. Michael Straczynski's Superman, with art done by Shane Davis, retold Superman's origins, but also retold Krypton's destruction. Even though that Earth One title met with acclaim, there still was criticism amongst fans. So when it was acknowledged that DC comics C.F.O. Geoff Johns and his Superman: Origins collaborator artist Gary Frank will be supplying the art to this new take on an already know character that is Batman, I was overwhelmed with excitement on this potentially ambitious and creative project from DC comics. Will it live up to the hype it deserves or fail like Aquaman's marriage? Let's find out….
{WARNING!!! Potential Spoilers, I REPEAT!!! Potential Spoilers}
With a summer that already feels like the "Summer of The Batman" it is quite refreshing to read Geoff Johns take on the Batman, but we already know his rich kid goes to the picture show with his family, they leave said picture show and end up in the alley where Thomas and Martha Wayne get shot and killed. What Johns do is establish little hints and changes the Wayne family and Alfred Pennyworth's character persona's completely, to purists this is uncalled for while those embrace change love the fact that Martha Wayne is (Remember I mention spoilers?) related to the Arkham's! Now if you've been playing Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum/City games then you already know who is the Arkham's are. Also what's interesting to note is that and I wish it had a little more focus on that, the Martha Arkham-Wayne have a dark family secret, to which maybe get explained down the line in future Batman: Earth One novels.
Now every interpretation of Batman always mention that Alfred was with the British Royal Navy, but we never got to see what he can really do in a straight up fight and it doesn't even matter how old he is either. When reading through this Alfred is this straight up bad to the arse fighter, who just so happen to have trained Bruce Wayne/Batman, but it was still Bruce's idea to be an image that people would fear if they hurt the innocent. Like other iterations of Bruce and Alfred this relationship between the both of them seems more like a student/master relationship, than the usual parental figure who just so happens to be the butler. What I find just so great is that he's still teaching Bruce how to be better, how to in a way unpredictable in a fight, use the enemies' weakness against them, and always use what you got to have the leg up in the fight.
As for Batman himself, it's cool to see him struggling to be the hero, that we already know he is and yes it would be cheating if he already was the arse kicker we all know and love. Though my only gripes with the OGN (Original Graphic Novel) is that Jim Gordon is still a Detective, now I know with the circumstances that Gordon is in he can't really be the James Gordon we all know a love, I just feel story wise he's being cheated and that we have to wait somewhat going towards the end of the story he finally gains a freaking backbone. Detective Bullock is one of those Batman: GCPD characters that you love to hate and hate to love (well I do, can say the same for any of you.) Though Johns really did a number to Bullock through out this novel, that I really would love to see where Det. Bullock is going to end up mentally.
With surprising twists like a certain umbrella carrying bird as the Mayor of Gotham City and the appearance of Barbra (Babs) Gordon, plus her hints to becoming Batgirl. Now on that, look I love Babs just as much as anyone, but I totally dislike the fact that Batgirl always get mention or hinted at before Dick Grayson/Robin does, though that's just a small annoyance plus it great to see more Barbra Gordon/Batgirl (Step a side Stephanie Brown/Batgirl!)
Batman: Earth One is absolutely one of Geoff Johns best's, right next to his Brightest Day, Blackest Night Green Lantern event. This OGN is really worth putting in your summer reading list, it's that damn good. Even if you're getting tired of Avengers Vs. X-Men.

I'm happy you're asking for input, which shows you're already off to an excellent start in making an informed decision. And I'm appreciative that you think enough of me, to ask me, specifically.
But since I can't answer every one of the questions presented to me, I'm going to condense the advice I've given to others here. This is a good place to start, but it's by no means complete. If you have a question that isn't answered here, feel free to ask. And ask as many questions, of as many people you can, as it takes for you to feel like you're making a well-informed decision.
Here goes.
Right off the bat, we need to get one thing straightened out. I am not a crystal ball, I haven't worked in every club, and I'm not entirely sure I'm qualified to give more than the most general advice.
· Every single club is different. I can't give you specific advice. I can't tell you exactly what is going to be required of you at the club in order to start dancing. This means, I can't tell you whether an audition is required, whether you'll be required to be seen naked first, whether you'll have to fill out an application or simply verbally interview, how many songs you'll dance to, what you'll be required to wear and/or take off, what your schedule (or lack thereof) will be like, or what height/weight is acceptable for any given club. I simply don't know. Every club has it's own set of hiring policies.
That said, you've probably given this at least a moment's thought. You've probably been wondering whether you can really strip, whether you really want to, and whether you really have to strip in order to make ends meet.
· This is not a decision that you should enter into lightly. Allow yourself a few days (or more) to consider the different aspects of the job and how it will affect your personal life. Are you willing (and mentally prepared) to give private dances? If you have a boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/etc, how will this affect your relationship? If/When your family finds out, what will happen? Are you willing to be naked, or nearly so, in front of large crowds? Are you willing to spend lots of time outside of work taking care of yourself? Are you willing and able to work a physically demanding job? Are you willing to alter your sleep schedule (and the many other inconveniences that come with sleeping during the day)?
· If someone is making you strip, or you feel forced into stripping by your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse, know that there is help, and that the decision is YOURS to make—not anyone elses. Read here and here.
· Before you get started, you need to know more about the particular club(s) you're considering. This is only a place to start with general information, and you still need more specific information. Visit the clubs you're considering. It's expensive to pay cover, but in the long run, it can be very unsettling to work in a place where you're fully nude if you're not willing to be, or to find out that the club doesn't have many customers on weekends, and it could wind up costing you money (see below, for related information on house fees). You need to know just how much you'll have to take off. Is the club bikini only (your top and bottoms stay on), topless (and is it required that you cover your nipples?), or fully nude (you remove your top and bottoms)? If you're able, buy a private dance (usually around $20-40 for the most basic dance). Private dances (as well as some clubs' VIP or Champagne Room) will become one way for you to earn money, and in some clubs, the majority or what you earn. What is the club's policy on touch? Some clubs do not allow contact between dancers and customers; some allow only dancers to touch customers (but not the other way around), and some allow touch both ways. The policies on nudity and touch may very much affect your decision to work at that club.
· If, somewhere in learning about stripping, you know it isn't the right fit for you, that's okay. It isn't an easy job, and it isn't a job for everyone. If you're still unsure, try one night. You can leave right away if you decide you really don't want to do it.
What does a stripper DO? (Read past the bolded part, because the juicy stuff isn't in the first sentence.)
· She spends time on stage. She's on stage, lights flashing, music blaring, with a crowd of people expecting to see her dance, and expecting to see her take her clothes off. She's dancing, which is a lot of work! She might be starting to sweat, her feet are crammed into her heels with her toes contorted and her foot flexed at an unhealthy angle, and she's entertaining customers with moves that have been worked on and worked on and worked on over months (or years). She might be doing pole tricks, which take strength and balance to perform. She's pausing here and there to pick up tips from customers and do "dollar dances" (which might be anything from putting her boobies in a customers face to shaking her butt to flashing her pussy, depending on the club and the tip!). She may be dancing for five minutes before getting off of the stage you're watching, or she may be in front of you for twenty minutes. After she leaves that stage, she may go on to dance on yet another stage (some clubs have many stages, and dancers are expected to rotate through them). She may not always be dancing to "her" music, and she may not be dancing to music that she likes at the moment. She might make $5 in tips for one stage set, or $100, or anywhere in between.
· She's talking to customers. She's talking to all kinds of people—young, old, fat, skinny, broke, wealthy, polite, douchebags, conservatives, liberals, construction workers, CEOs, engineers, housekeepers, golfers, fathers, sons, brothers, and even women. She's talking about all kinds of things—the weather, a sports team or event, politics, local events, national news, international news, music, someone's drinking problem, porn, someone's child's favorite stuffed animal, her own personal goals or a childhood memory, beer and liquor, favorite books or movies…[Recently, I've discussed (as a sample): goat farming, Alaskan tourism, card games, the smell of leather, taco pizza, the Civil War, gemology, and an upcoming lawnmower purchase. ] She's trying to convince customers to buy drinks (if applicable—some places do not allow alcohol, or some only allow BYO beer). She's trying to convince customers to buy private dances, or VIP dances, or access to a Champagne room—it's definitely a "sales" position!
· She's probably dealing with douchebags on and off, all night. She'll have to deal with people who have wasted her time, who are trying to touch her in ways that aren't acceptable (or wanted!), who are drunk beyond recognizing their surroundings, who sometimes swear at her or make fun of her, who argue with her, who underpay her, who accidentally elbow her in the ribs, who push past her and knock her off balance…and that's just the customers! She might also have to deal with some variety of 'drama' between the other girls—like theft, drug use, prostitution, who's stealing regulars from whom, and other topics to fight over.
· She's doing private dances, going to a VIP room, or going elsewhere with customers for a little alone time. She's convinced someone to buy the time to spend with her. It might be as simple as dancing in front of a customer, without touching. Or it could be topless, with the dancer occasionally grinding on a clothed customer. It could be a fully nude dance, in which the customer is allowed to (and the dancer may encourage customers to) touch her breasts and butt. It could be anywhere in between! The rules vary between clubs, in different cities, and in different states and countries. But nevertheless, the customers are always trying to talk her into more, and it's getting annoying (but she's still smiling, right?). She might have "man rash" from men's scratchy faces on her chest, or be sore from grinding on someone in jeans for a half hour. She's trying to make the experience sensual and sexy and flirty and fun.
If you're thinking about stripping, you need to know that you're likely to have to PAY to go to work (not get paid, like with most employers). This is something you will have to ask when you apply, audition, or interview.
· Some clubs still pay their dancers a minimal wage on top of their tips, but most operate with dancers as independent contractors. The "house fee" for clubs is a fee paid from the dancer to the "house" (the club itself) in order for the dancer to work. It might be as low as $5 or be over $100. It might vary, depending on the day (with higher house fees on weekends), or it might be the same for each day. It might even vary depending on the shift you work (night or day?) or what time you go into work (7pm might be different from 10pm). It might include the DJ and bouncer fees, or those might be separate and on top of what you've paid to the house. You may not have a house fee at all, but you still may not get paid in anything you haven't gotten from the customers yourself. You might pay a portion of what you collect from selling dances to the house (ie: $5 from every $25 dance, which is specific to my club).
The club, the city, the state, and the country you are located in will have a set of rules about what kind of touch and attire is acceptable.
· You still need to draw your own boundaries. If your club and location allow customers to touch you, but you have an aversion to being touched in the neck area (as my club does allow, and as I do have an aversion to this), then you need to set down the rules from day one, with all of your customers. Doing things that make you very, very uncomfortable or scared only makes you look uncomfortable (which doesn't sell dances, anyway!), and it only tortures your own psyche. You don't need the money so badly that you have to break your own rules. There are other customers, and there will be other days, or there are other jobs that you can do and feel just as much control over your own body. I know many a dancer who won't do X, Y, or Z that still make significantly more money than dancers who will do X, Y, or Z in the same club.
· Attire is set by the club (as guided by laws). If it's a topless club, they'll expect you to be topless at some point. If it's a fully nude club, they'll expect you'll be fully nude at some point. If you're not comfortable with the level of attire that you're required to strip to, I suggest not working for that particular club. You won't get to "draw the line" at being topless and remain only in a bikini. Some clubs, as with mine, will "fine" you for refusing to strip down on stage. If I "forget" or refuse to do so, I get fined $25 for each occurrance. Some clubs will simply fire you for not understanding the requirements of the job. Be sure that you're comfortable with whatever level of stripping down is required and that you understand fully (is a thong okay in a bikini club, or do the buttcheeks have to be covered?).
I can't tell you how much you will make, because I don't know. It varies widely.
· Some dancers boast earnings of into the thousands per night. And some are happy to make a hundred in one night. It varies from dancer to dancer, and usually depends on their personalities, their looks, their conversational skills, andwhether they have many regulars. I know dancers who make over a thousand nearly every time they work, and I know dancers who regularly make fifty bucks.
· It varies from club to club, too. Some smaller or rural clubs have girls who make about a hundred bucks a night. Some larger, or more upscale, or more metropolitan clubs have girls who typically make well over a thousand in a night. Of the three clubs I've worked in personally, the "typical night" for a "typical dancer" was: (1) $80, (2) $200, and (3) $300-400.
· Some clubs will allow you to make your own schedule, giving you the freedom to work when you need or want to be paid, and some will not. It's another one of those questions to ask when interviewing/auditioning.
Check out some other stripper blogs and get a feel for what their clubs, job duties, and customers are like for them.
· See Ava Adore's list of Tumblr-hosted stripper blogs. That should keep you busy for awhile, ey?
· Also check out some non-Tumblr stripper blogs: Tits And Sass, Story, Confessions of a Feminist Stripper, and Diary of an Angry Stripper.
So let's pretend you've read through this whole page already, you've visited the clubs you're interested in, you've picked one that you want to try to work at, you've read some more blogs, you've probably talked to a dancer somwhere along the line, you've discussed it with your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse, and you've really given it some thought. Now what?
· Call the club, or visit in person, and ask about how to get a job. Some clubs hold amateur nights, some ask you to fill out an application, some states or localities require a license to dance, some managers require a personal interview, and some require you to do a stage set or work a night before they make their decision. There are tons of different approaches that clubs use. Ask when you can apply (only on the last Friday of the month, during amateur night? Right now? Tomorrow at 2pm?), ask for the name of the person you need to talk to (is it John, the manager? Bob, the owner? "Bear", the bouncer, when you show up for amateur night?), ask what you need to bring (for amateur night, you'll need at least an outfit and shoes, whereas for an interview, you might just need to show up in nice street clothes), and ask what kind of ID to bring (just a driver's license or state ID? Two forms of ID?)
A few notes on your first night:
I was asked for a list of what goes in my stripper bag, and here's my answer. Your first night, at minimum, you need: an outfit, a pair of heels (usually, a pair of heels you last wore to a wedding is fine, but check with the club), an extra thong, makeup, and anything you need to keep your hair done as you like it. You don't need all of the listed things at first (some of them are just creature-comforts and the ability to repair things quickly), but you should probably acquire a few outfits, a sturdy pair of platform shoes made for working in, a sizeable collection of makeup, your choice of painkiller, and baby wipes as soon as possible. At bare minimum. Dancing isn't cheap—know that now.
· Don't expect the girls to be nice or helpful to you, but thank them and be polite when they do offer help. Girls are sometimes surprised to find out when they begin work that none of the girls will talk to them or help them. Remember that you are new competition, and not yet trustworthy. It takes time. Keep being polite, work hard, and stick with the rules of the club. Avoid stepping on toes, and when you inevitably do in those first awkward weeks, apologize sincerely and politely and then move on immediately. In time, you'll find a few pals you can work comfortably with and talk to…but you'll have to earn it.
· Expect to feel confused about the rules. Not all girls obey all of the rules that were told to you, and you'll see that from time to time. Stick with the rules that were given to you. In time, you'll know whether the rules are firm or fluid, and what the true expectations are from you at the club.
· A good dressing-room rule of thumb? Listen. That's it. Listen. You'll learn a lot from simply listening. And after you've listened and heard some questionable things? Keep your mouth closed. In the long run, you'll earn trust. In the short run, you won't have girls trying to chase you out of their club and make your life hell for being a "snitch."
· Expect to work on dancing. It's not easy. Even with a background in dance or gymnastics or excessive clubbing, stripping isn't like any kind of dancing you've done before. Give yourself time. If you can, go in a few minutes early or stay a few minutes late to try things you're not sure about. The best advice given to me was "to take one move you like—just ONE, one that you think you can do—from every dancer that you see on stage, and try to work it into your set. In time, you'll have your own unique set that makes you stand out."
· Expect that the first times you talk to customers will be awkward.
· Rejection happens. Customers say "No." Get used to it.
· Don't get drunk or high. Drinking helps. It does. And it might help you to have a drink before you go on stage the first time. But there's a line between "had a couple of drinks and feel like dancing!" and "falling out of shoes, puking, and slurring." No one likes a dancer they're afraid is going to puke on them (and many clubs will send you home over this). As far as getting high? Here's where I get to tell you not to do drugs at work, and how it could get you fired, and how it's not legal, and spout the good stuff. But the truth is, drugs exist in strip clubs (just like every other job, to be fair!), and you're just going to have to navigate that whole mess for yourself. My advice is keep out of it (it will only take all of the money you just worked hard for, anyway, right?).
· Expect to be extremely sore at first. Your legs, back, butt, arms, and feet (okay, pretty much EVERYTHING) will hurt at first. You're going to need time to sleep, and time to soak in a good bath. I joke with new dancers on their second day, asking them how trying to go up and down stairs for the past few days had been—because it's not easy, and I do remember. The bruises are intense, and massive, and in places that make you wonder what the fuck you did to get that one. The pain doesn't go away for quite some time, and even then, you're still likely to be a little sore or acquire some bruises after a night or more of work. Treat yourself well.
Updated to add:
Sometimes there are other people who can just say things better than I can. So here…don't be these girls. Or these girls.

Indictment in Auburn YouTube pot bust
The reflection at left in this image captured from YouTube was used by authorities to identify Kyle Berry, 40, of Auburn, who was indicted this month on felony drug charges. (JAMES A. KIMBLE / FILE PHOTO)
Kyle Berry, 40, now faces up to 7 1/2 to 15 years on a pair of felony drug charges alleging he intended to sell the marijuana he was growing in his Auburn apartment in January.
Berry, who is free on bail, will be arraigned on the charges later this month in Rockingham County Superior Court.
A grand jury indicted him on felony counts of possession of a controlled drug with intent to sell, manufacture of a controlled drug and a misdemeanor count of possession of a controlled drug.
The Rockingham County Sheriff's Department began watching Berry's YouTube account after receiving a tip from a confidential informant around Dec. 20.
Berry had posted a total of 35 videos featuring him speaking about the progress of his growing operation, preferred soils and the variety of marijuana plants sprouting up under heat lamps and fans.
Deputies began collecting information about him, including his home address, a booking photo from a November 2010 jail stint, and a driver's license photo.
He was arrested shortly after one video showed a reflection of his on a foil-covered wall.
Berry, who used the YouTube handle "beginnergrowerktb1," said in a posting a few days after his arrest that his aunt was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.
"I'm not a drug dealer," Berry wrote in the comments section of one of his videos. "All I wanted to do is help my aunt. I'm not a bad person. All I wanted to do is give my aunt a chance, and if not, at least make her comfortable."
In one video, Berry brags about how his U.K.-based seed supplier, Herbies seeds, "packages things stealthily to avoid detection" by mislabeling the contents, Deputy Sgt. Jay Murphy said in an affidavit.
"As you can see, it's very secretly stealth," Berry allegedly says on the Oct. 17 video. "They have it down as a video game. Awesome, right?"
But the video also shows the package has Berry's name on it, followed by the narrator opening it to reveal packages of marijuana seeds inside.
Deputies executed a search warrant at Berry's home finding the marijuana plants, a pound of loose marijuana and a variety of unknown chemicals that are being tested by the state, court records say.
Investigators with the state forensic laboratory and the Drug Enforcement Administration's Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement Team assisted with the search.
During an interview with investigators, Berry admitted to buying his grow equipment at a store in Manchester and ordering marijuana seeds from Herbies Seeds in the United Kingdom, Murphy said in the affidavit.
He told investigators he had been growing marijuana for about eight months.

Whether UHURU or RAILA …… OBAMA and CAMERON invited to the SWEARING INNews 01:43
Friday, the 1st of March 2013 - Head of Public Service Francis Kimemia today revealed that US President Barack Obama is one of many world leaders that have been invited to the swearing in of Kenya's next President.
Also on the list of inviteesis British Prime Minister David Cameron and other Heads of State of the various members of the European Union.
Kimemia said he hoped President Obama can send someone to attend on his behalf if he is unable to make the trip;
"You can be sure that we will invite the American President. If he cannot come then he can delegate. If you go to the European Union we have the various countries," he said.
Also on the invited list are regional leaders like Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, Tanzania's Jakaya Kikwete, Rwanda's Paul Kagame and Burundi's Pierre Nkurunziza.
Speaking at Nairobi's Hotel InterContinental this morning, Kimemia however clarified that the list does not include every leaders in Africa because of space;
"If you go to the continent of Africa, we have key representatives since we cannot invite everybody to come and witness this historic occasion," he said.
Kimemia ended his address with a call for Kenyans to observe peace on Election Day;
"We urge Kenyans to maintain peace. We have put in place everything necessary to ensure this process is successful. We have mobilised all our internal security organs to ensure that Kenyans are fully secure round the clock," he said.
If there is a clear winner of the Presidential election on March 4th, then the next Kenyan President will be sworn in on March 26th.

AMD Gaming Evolved Interview: Technical Aspects of Development
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), Oct 13, 2011 16:47
Wrapping up our series of interviews with AMD Gaming Evolved that demonstrate AMD's commitment to PC gaming and how it benefits everyone from the gamer all the way through to the developer, we take a final, technical turn to see how they interact with those developers.
When a new developer wants to interface with AMD on a new project what are the first steps?
After initial contact is established, AMD and the engineers assigned to the project are in constant communication with the game studio.
Our Developer Relations team is located all around the globe. We have the ability to support studios based in nearly all geographical areas and usually match the studio with a local team, since this allows us to optimize logistics for arranging visits and supplying equipment. We make sure that the studio has a suitable selection of the best AMD hardware, ranging from AMD GPUs, AMD Fusion APUs or other suitable equipment (e.g. AMD HD3D and Eyefinity configurations) they will need for development.
It is important to discuss the main technical aspects of the project fairly early on in order to avoid issues in development later. At the outset, we discuss details of the graphic engine used and inquire about the design of intended features so that they don't clash with GPU hardware principles like Crossfire-friendly behavior, for example. Similarly, we advise on performance from day one to prevent major optimization issues later on. We usually take this opportunity to present any performance tools that will help the graphics programmer in their tasks, like GPUPerfStudio 2 and GPUShaderAnalyzer.
Once this initial meeting has taken place, we arrange for regular builds to be sent to us so we can provide the ISV with technical reports and regular feedback, hopefully culminating in a graphically beautiful and cleanly-designed title.
What determines the level of support that AMD can give to a developer?
We will always support every professional game developer requesting our support – there's just no question about that. Of course, we tend to put more resources into the big games that are pushing graphics technology forward as these are the titles that make our graphics technologies shine, like DiRT 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the upcoming Battlefield 3.
If a developer is building a game but the tech spec requirements are rather high, how can AMD help them to widen those allowing more people to potentially get into a game?
Every member of our engineering team is an expert in real-time computer graphics and performance optimizations. They are able to provide advice and recommendations on scaling down selected graphic features in order to allow a wide range of GPUs to run the game at good performance.
As an example, we always try to ensure games are able to run on our AMD Fusion APU offerings at maximum performance while maintaining the bulk of the graphic features. AMD has worked very hard to ensure our integrated graphics are a compelling option for gaming purposes, and going forward we're going to see even more goodness coming from this area where gamers will be able to enjoy the full gaming experience on our AMD Fusion APUs without compromising on quality.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy today announced an extension of price control arrangements on Telstra which will force the telco to continue charging 22c for untimed local calls from home phones and 50c from payphones.
The price controls had been slated to expire by 30 June this year, but in a statement released this afternoon, Conroy said a draft amendment would extend them by two years to 30 June 2012.
The controls also cap the price of long-distance and international calls and the cost of monthly line rental for a basic phone line.
"Telstra has always strongly supported continuity of consumer protections such as untimed local calls available to all Australians and all Australians should have access to a uniformly priced standard telephony service," said Telstra spokesperson Craig Middleton in response to Conroy's statement.
"The fact is many Telstra customers are paying less than 22 cents for local calls and several plans include all local calls. These prices are the result of a highly competitive market."
Conroy said the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) had reviewed the controls earlier in the year and recommended they be extended by two years and that their overall scope and composition not be changed.
"The ACCC also made a number of suggestions for streamlining the current arrangements, which the government has considered but decided against implementing," said Conroy. "Extending the controls to 2012 will ensure that consumers continue to benefit from these protections."
The minister said while Telstra and some parts of the industry had argued that price controls should cease, the government considered that consumer interests were best served by continuing to keep them in place. A more comprehensive review of pricing policy would be conducted in 2011 to assess how the National Broadband Network deployment will affect the industry.
