Ok, Im majorly sucking at this whole blog writing thing. I've been wanting to start a blog for over two years, and when I finally do, I can't commit to actually getting around to writing it. I think I have a lot to share, whether or not you actually think it's worth reading is another thing. Im going to get better, I promise. I have a goal of writing at least one blog a week.
Why am I so inconsistent? My life feels a little chaotic right now. I own my own business and Im in the "busy" season for it. My weekends are completely gone with work, and days are flying by. Most nights Im lucky if I fix my husband and kids dinner. I just had my second baby at Christmas, and moved into a new house one month before her arrival. I look around at the outdated wallpaper consuming every single wall, and I get discouraged that I'm never gonna have it all together. I sit and stare at it, and then stare at it some more, despising every inch of this horrible wallpaper that is screaming at me to take down. I seemed to get paralyzed by how much work it's going to require. The feeling of being overwhelmed by life can be completely consuming. Yep, I think that's where I'm at right now…. paralyzed by stupid wallpaper. Wallpaper 1, Carla 0.
I have all these things running through my head that I want to accomplish. I have dreams and visions of how great certain aspects of my life good be…and yet, fear of failure keeps me positioned safely on the couch watching re-runs of reality shows. I've recently realized how damaging most of these shows are on my mental state, sucking the life from me and prohibiting me of living my life to the fullest. I think the older I get the more I realize how precious time really is.
When it really comes down to it, where are my priorities? I am child of the Most High, Beloved God the Father. He has instilled in me passions and dreams. One area He has called me to focus on is being a wife and mother, my priorities belonging to those who have captured my heart. Every minute of every day ultimately leads somewhere… some actively leading me into fulfilling my dreams and others sucking the life out of them. To be honest, in the past I have struggled with putting my career first. This took years for me to figure out, but thankfully God always embraces and lovingly corrects.
This is my current life verse:
Proverbs 31: 26-27
26.) She opens her mouth in wisdom; kindly instruction is on her tongue. 27.) She watches over the affairs of her household,and does not eat the bread of idleness.
That means laying to rest activities that keep me from actively pursuing my God-given dreams. TV watching has been the single most damaging activity that keeps me from living a fulfilled life, the shows I seem to get sucked into are completely pointless. My hubby likes to say that I'm losing brain cells with the shows I choose to watch…how true. He used to make me so mad when he said that, but really he is right. UGH! Idleness is defined as "without purpose or effect, pointless." Reality watching, or even wallpaper staring are both idle activities that discourage me instead of encourage.
Activities and people that inspire and encourage me to be the best possible version of myself are where I want to spend my time. Writing down five short term and five long term goals always helps me to narrow down and focus on what God is calling me to be. And being the best version of myself includes living a life centered around God and family, but also using my God-given talents to encourage others to find their purpose and passion in life.

Security around the staduim before and after the game sucked, there was none. You should protect your fans if you want them to come back again When we got there Friday night to setup our rv in parking lot B the people that lived in the surrounding neighorhood were harassing us. They threaten my wife and made us feel very uncomfortable. We paid good money to stay there and we weren't treated right. We were so scared that we packed up right after the game and when home, knowing that we had paid for another night. You guys have a serouis problem there and one day someone is going to get hurt. I will never go back to that staduim again.The people kept saying "Welcome to beatuiful Orlando" when they should of been saying "Welcome to nightnare in parking Lot B" Experience rating: SUCKED!

LFW A/W12 – Corrie Nielsen
Corrie Nielsen is THE hot ticket at London Fashion Week. Since being chosen as the winner of the 2010 Fashion Fringe competition by John Galliano, her work has been admired across the fashion industry and I was delighted to get an invitation to her show and see something quite fabulous from the designer.
It was more than a full house at the BFC showspace tent in the courtyard of Somerset House, London and as we settled down, the fashion chatter reduced to silence as the lights came up and a deep, scottish voice greeted us.
Corrie Nielsen 'Vestiarium Scoticum' LFW A/W12
Corrie Nielsen looks back to her own Scottish heritage to inspire this Autumn/Winter collection. Corrie dug deep into Medieval English and Scottish manners of dress and uncovered the manuscript Vestiarium Scoticum. From this, and learning about the role of Scottish dress in the history of her roots and the official clan tartans, Corrie combined her signature sculptural forms to create an amazing collection of evening and daywear.

What's New
Smartform - new eQPARs and 20AA/33s
Pratique Documentary Clearance (PDC) - Launched 1 July 2011
Vessels entering Australia could unknowingly carry unwanted pests and diseases that can threaten our unique flora and fauna, our aquaculture and agricultural industries as well as human health. Australia accounts for approximately 10 per cent of the world's biodiversity so it is important that the spread of pests and diseases is prevented - making Australia's quarantine laws among the strictest in the world.
AQIS ensures that all vessels arriving in Australia from overseas comply with International Health Regulations and ensures that all quarantine risk posed by the vessel is adequately managed. This is achieved by monitoring, assessing and managing the risks associated with vessels, crew, marine pests and ballast water of all international vessels arriving in Australia, including wharf surveillance activities.
Many types of vessels enter Australia. Our legislation manages them in two streams:
- Vessels 25 metres and greater
- Commercial vessels – Barges, Military, Livestock, and Cruise vessels etc
- Australian vessels returning to Australian waters from overseas
- Offshore Installations
- Vessels less than 25 metres (recreational vessels such as Yachts).
As a cost-recovered organisation, AQIS must charge for all activities it undertakes to protect Australia's biosecurity. A full list of fees associated with vessel quarantine services are set out in the Seaports' fees guidelines.

If you are anything like me, picking out paint colors when you are remodeling or freshening up your home can be perplexing. I swear the color never looks the same on the walls as it did on the color cards in the store. One painting business in San Diego offers a nifty website tool that allows you to play with room color online.
Chism Brothers Painting has a webpage set up with a room and a wide variety of colors to choose from. By simply placing your mouse over the color you change the color of the room to get a more realistic idea of how a color might actually look on walls.
If you need even more help, the company also employs a color consultant who will work with you and to determine not just favorite color schemes, but what rooms are high-traffic areas and whether the color selected will compliment your furniture. The company's website states there are over 2200 colors to choose from. Sometimes another point of view can help when selecting colors for painting jobs.

Air Liquide seems to be right up there with PWOG for that weird Euro rave techno feel. Stuff where I'm not sure if its IDM or trance or what exactly.
― pattern loader, Monday, 23 April 2012 04:11 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, between 1992 and 1995 AL released stuff ranging from banging acid techno to cosmic trance to weird breakbeat excursions (like the track that sample Cypress Hill) to straight beatless ambient, sometimes on the same record. I'd recommend acquiring pretty much anything they released in that period, it's all good. Or if you want just one record, The Increased Difficulty Of Concentration comp is a good overall look to to their sound; it's neatly divided between a dance and a non-dance disc. In the late 90s they went electro though, IMO their post-'95 material is decent but mostly forgettable.

Distance: 19 miles
Duration: 8 hours
Elevation gain: 4,400 feet
Effort: Strenuous
Trailhead: River left, mile 156
The Havasupai ("People of the Blue-Green Water") have lived for centuries along Havasu Creek's Edenic waterfalls and travertine-lined pools that reflect the sky. A permit is required to enter reservation land. Backpackers and equestrians can make the trip from Hualapai Hilltop down to Supai Village, where there's a campground and a motel, at eight miles.
From the river, the village is 8.5 miles. Most river runners only go as far as Beaver Falls, but even a short hike up Havasu Creek leads to shady pools, perfect on a hot summer day.
From the river, the trail up Havasu Canyon crosses the creek several times and can be difficult to follow as it washes out frequently. At about three miles, you'll reach Beaver Falls, a pretty series of travertine cascades. The trail climbs around Beaver Falls to a ledge before dropping back down to the creek.
At about six miles, Mooney Falls plummets nearly 200 feet into the turquoise-colored pool below. The trail to the village, another 2.5 miles, tunnels through the travertine at Mooney Falls, a slippery route with ladders and chains for handholds. En route to the village the trail passes Havasu Falls, twin plumes of water falling 100 feet, as well as and 75-foot Navajo Falls.
Although you'll be wading and swimming a lot on this trail, you should pack plenty of water. The water in Havasu Creek water isn't drinkable, and most day hikers from the river won't make it to the campground or village, where water is available.

Thomas has experienced the hardship of finding a job first-hand. He's hoping Thursday's job fair will give him a big opportunity.
"Employment that is where it all starts, you get employment and things will fall into place," said Thomas.
For thousands across the country, Hiring Our Heroes has helped them get jobs.
On Thursday, about 100 companies sought out veterans and potential employees.
"I do notice a common thread we all have in recognizing what they bring to the workforce," said Nicole White with Prudential Insurance.
"It's so great to see these companies in here and say, 'Hey, we are looking for people, we have job openings,'" said Meyer.
Thursday's Hiring Our Heroes event was the first for the year in Kentucky. Organizers said there will be at least four throughout the year in the state.
Hiring Our Heroes has a goal of 400 job fairs per year across the U.S.
The next one in Kentucky will be held March 19 in Erlington.

Sometimes simple street food is the best tourist find.
By Kendra Nordin, Kitchen Report / August 6, 2012
"You are going where?" This was the response I got when I told various friends and family that my boyfriend and I were going to take a one-day adventure from San Diego to Tijuana, Mexico. I admit that with the Mexican drug war at full bloom I had some trepidation about crossing the border – even if it was just a short drive from downtown San Diego.

Our Evander Project in Mpumalanga is made up of two adjacent properties – the No 6 shaft area formerly owned by Harmony Gold and the virgin Twistdraai property. No 6 shaft was mined for a few years, and to a limited extent, until 1998 when poor gold prices rendered production unprofitable. Twistdraai lies directly to the south and was never incorporated into any of the Evander gold field's mines.
Taung's acquisition of the properties from Harmony was initiated in 2008 and completed in 2010. Drilling is taking place to refine our knowledge of the properties, but a scoping study based on historic exploration data indicates that the combined properties contain probable reserves and inferred resources totaling 28.2 million tons grading 6.8 g/t gold in situ and containing 6.17 million ounces of gold.
The scoping study forecasts a mine production life of 30 years to produce a total of 5.94-million ounces of gold. Cash costs per ounce are estimated at $397. The life of mine capital cost –including the cost of a two-year programme to provide underground access and plant and equipment – is estimated at $1.03 billion. Development is scheduled to start in January 2013, with actual production beginning in 2015.

The Fairy Tale Witch
Fairy Tales should not be swiftly discounted for their seemingly fictional and innocent purposes as children's stories. The tales thus preserved are, in fact, windows into other times, ancient peoples' thoughts, and older magicks. They are just as valuable a tool in anthropological study as traditional religious mythology, and to a certain extent, observational science and archaeology. They provide insight into the psychology and perception of their contemporary societies by both the people living in those societies and those transmitting the stories since. Furthermore, their archetypal nature speaks to something deeper in all man and womankind; regardless of the story's origins or original temporal setting. This archetypal voice is why these stories still resonate with audiences today. And it is research into understanding this archetypal psychology which has dominated the anthropology of the fairy tale and been the focus of work for famous names such as J.R.R. Tolkein, Joseph Campbell, Claude Levi-Strauss, Georges Frazer, and Carl Jung, etc.
The witches of the traditional canon of fairy tales, i.e. of Hans Christian Anderson, the Brothers Grimm, and the rest of their late 17th through to early 19th century peers provide particularly remarkable insight into two periods of time: the time of the authors themselves; as well as the earlier pre-Industrial Revolution era their stories are typically set in.
Growing discontent with the pervading religious system and local government, coupled with rampant diseases (like the Black Plague), led to a rise in fear on the European continent. With the advent of writing and a stronger infrastructure of roads and trade, this fear was not an isolated incident, but was communicated between groups of people: between villages on a smaller level and between countries -for indeed, now we have come to the period where countries are starting to define themselves as separate states with distinct borders rather than cultural alliances and princely empires as before. Though this new, unprecedented opportunity would later prove to be the cure for the darkness of the period, it was at first but a promoter of the miasma of fear which hung over the late medieval world. In need of a scapegoat, the western world, and in particular the Catholic Church, looked around for something 'other' to blame all of their fears and woes upon. And they found what they sought in the form of the witch. A female with power, an outsider to the community, a link to the devil or the pagan communities that had ruled Europe prior to Christian domination ~ the figure of the witch was a multi-purpose target. An easy mark, the witch was vilified, both in person and in the resultant stories of her.
If you want to learn more about the witches of fairy tale and take a deeper look at the residual layers of fairy tale and symbolism of the new characters and archetypes attached to the myth of the witch, then join the Sacred Mists' newest class: The History of Witches in the Western World ~ taught by yours truly. Using an anthropological perspective, this class explores the changing forms of magick and the evolution of the 'Witch' through the biographies of mythological witches of the antiquity through to the historical magickal figures.

Mythic Creatures in the Modern World
Somebody happened to call me a "mythic creature" on Friday; and it has stuck with me all weekend.
In context, it was a rather mundane and flippant figure of speech. One of the engineers in the digital archaeology lab I've just started at was merely elaborating on how rare it was to have one of the researchers in the lab for the full creative process. As a user of the technology verses a creator of it, he was basically saying that it was a novel concept to have my input at this stage of development. Really, it was a compliment of sorts (I hope). But it was more his turn of phrase that caught my attention. And rapidly pulled me from my everyday work, into the magickal realm I share here with all of you at Sacred Mists. Down the rabbit hole, as it were.
My initial visualization of my possession of the label 'mythic creature' had much to do with the addition of faerie wings trying to fit round my desk chair and a unicorn's horn sprouting from my forehead. Eventually, however, my meandering daydreams wandered away from the specific image of me as a mythic creature in the engineering lab; and more to do with just the idea of the mythic creature in the lab or office: Pegasus flying past the window, sprites floating in the water cooler, satyrs bounding off the elevator, and the like. The magick seeping through the mundane.
Really, however, if one has been paying close attention to the faerie tales of childhood and, indeed, of world mythology: that is exactly how these mythic creatures present themselves. Out of the corner of your eye, there is a little something extra that you can spot for an instant and then is gone. In faerie tales: it may be a meeting with an elderly woman in the woods who you politely shared your bread with (thus earning the power to spit up jewels) or the spider you carried outside instead of smashing (and who later helped you succeed at a seemingly futile task). In faerie tales, and indeed perhaps in real life, the true encounters with mythic creatures are not ones you really pay that much attention to as a special encounter of any kind. The effects of the meeting may be felt; blessings given or mischief enacted (depending on the type of mythic creature), and one is left pondering the encounter, identifying what one can about what you saw, and extemporizing the rest to make sense of it ~ often fitting it into the known order of things in order to make it fit into one's view of the world. More often than not, one might not realize that they've had such an encounter because they were not aware of what they were looking for and even if they saw something had no subconscious archetype against which to compare it. The Platonic archetypes extolled by the likes of Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung can often seem like vague generalizations, but they are worth knowing as reference points. It is, after all, easier to put together the jigsaw puzzle if one knows what the general picture is meant to be of. The meeting of the mythic with the mundane is where magick translates outside of anthropology and becomes a part of one's life experience.
I admit, that when not working on a project for the Sacred Mists, I often forget to look around me and see the magick in the world: the beauty and power that vibrates through everything; the wonder that I know I experienced as a child looking out at the world and knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that magickal things could happen. The seemingly innocuous phrase 'mythic creature' woke me up. It made me LOOK. It made me SEE. It made me aware and appreciative. For this past weekend, at least.
And while no, I have not spotted any landvaettir around my apartment, fey lurking in the shrubbery, or trolls under the freeway bridge: the part of me that steadfastly believes in the anthropological power of faerie tales maintains that they are there. They have just gotten very, very good at blending in. So much so, that when we see them or meet them, we probably don't even realize what they really might be.
The power of seeing the mythic creature in the modern world can lead to marvelous things. Ever heard of a little place called Narnia? Narnia is a magickal realm full of myth and wonder that has provided children and adults alike with a refuge, despite its ultimately fictional nature. Its author C. S. Lewis reputedly first began creating the back-story for Narnia whilst riding on a train one snowy evening. Looking out at the town, a man carrying his shopping and an umbrella appeared to have the legs of a faun instead of those of a human. And thus Mr. Tumnus, the first Narnian was born. If you take nothing else away from C.S. Lewis's masterpiece series the Chronicles of Narnia, take away the idea that great things come from using your imagination and seeing the magick in the mundane. From seeing the mythic creature in the modern world.
Have you had any recent encounters you've realized were less than mundane? Are your bumblebees secretly faeries or your pool overrun with lorelei? Or did you open the door for a stranger or give a lost tourist directions and feel inexplicably blessed the rest of the day? Mythic creatures come in all shapes and forms. Let us know about your recent run-ins!
And if you haven't had any recent encounters with mythic creatures: go seek them out. Attempt an anthropological cum psychological experiment into your own awareness and find them in unlikely places. Find them at your office, in your home, or in the pages of a fairy tale you've long since given up~ those archetyes still speak to you, if you're willing to listen, so give them another chance. And then report back here and share your experience with everyone else!

committee from the National Institutes of Health recently recommended that scientists retire a majority of the chimpanzees currently being used for federally-funded medical research in the United States. The recommendation comes after a groundbreaking 2011 report from the Institute of Medicine that said such research is harmful to the animals and largely unnecessary. The NIH owns roughly 360 chimps, and the report suggests all but 50 of them ought to be sent to a national sanctuary. But while animal activists are rejoicing, others wonder if the cutback will come at the cost of advances in medical research. Wherever you stand on that argument, it's worth taking a look back at some of the things we've learned by studying chimps, monkeys, and other non-human primates over the years. The methodology of some research is unsettling — but the conclusions do lead to a better understanding of who we are.
1. Stress early in life can lead to drinking later in life
This is, perhaps, not a huge surprise, but at least now you know you can blame your childhood for your drinking habits. Researchers compared the alcohol consumption of two different groups of rhesus monkeys, one raised without adult contact and comfort, and another raised with their mothers. When the monkeys were roughly 4 years old, they were given access to alcohol, and the monkeys raised away from their mothers drank more alcohol more often than the mother-reared monkeys. Of course, even those of us with the most stable childhoods can be driven to drink. When the mother-reared monkeys were placed in stressful situations, they increased their alcohol consumption, too.
2. Birth control for men is on the horizon
A 2004 study shed light on a potential new birth control option for men. Researchers gave nine male macaque monkeys booster shots of Eppin. This particular protein is found in the testes, and is added to the surface of sperm to protect them as they age. By giving the monkeys shots of synthetic Eppin, the researchers essentially vaccinated the monkeys against the protein. As a result, seven of the nine monkeys became infertile. When the shots stopped, five of the monkeys became fertile again within months. The fact that the other two didn't probably speaks to why this technique hasn't made its way into your local pharmacy yet, but it's a start.
3. The pill doesn't cause weight gain
Another study tested oral contraceptives on rhesus monkeys and found that, contrary to common belief, the pill could actually lead to weight loss in the obese. Both obese and average-sized monkeys took continuous daily human doses of oral contraceptives for eight months. At the end of the study, the obese monkeys had lost 8.58 percent of their body weight. The average-sized monkeys lost weight as well, but not nearly as much. While the study doesn't necessarily mean the pill should be used for weight loss, it "suggests that worries about weight gain with pill use appear to be based more on fiction than on fact," said senior study author Judy Cameron.
4. Eating less doesn't increase lifespan
For 25 years, researchers kept a group of rhesus monkeys on a low-calorie diet with hopes of proving that a restricted diet leads to longer life. According to the New York Times, "the males' weights were so low they were the equivalent of a 6-foot-tall man who tipped the scales at just 120 to 133 pounds." But when the study finally came to a close last year, the results were clear: The skinny monkeys died at around the same time as those that ate normally. Overall, a sad ending for the monkeys that spent their entire lives hungry, and for the researchers, some of whom had such high hopes that they started restricting their own diets.
5. We're not the only primates capable of selfless acts
Can non-human primates experience empathy? Can they understand and share in another's feelings? Research suggests it's very possible. In one 1964 study, a group of six rhesus monkeys were taught to pull a chain to receive a helping of food. At one point, a seventh monkey was introduced to the group, and each time the first six pulled the lever for food, the new guy would get a painful electric shock. In response, the monkeys did one of two things: Some pulled a separate chain that administered less food, but didn't shock their companion. Others stopped eating entirely. One monkey went 12 days without eating to ensure it did not shock the others.
6. And we're not the only ones who have midlife crises
Many people encounter a dip in happiness around age 50, and may grapple with the sudden urge to buy incredibly expensive cars or join a rock band. An international team of researchers wanted to better understand the origins of the midlife crisis, so they turned to chimpanzees. By studying 500 of the primates, they found apes often go through a midlife crisis as well, experiencing a drop in well-being around age 30. Senior author Andrew Oswald says the results show a midlife crisis is normal. So relax.

The management of distal femoral fractures: a literature review
Orthopaedics and Trauma, 08/17/2012
Obakponovwe O et al. – The majority of cases will make an uneventful recovery but severe functional impairment and permanent disability may result from the more severe injuries, with mal–union and limb shortening compromising functional outcome. Hence, specialist care for these patients should always be considered, if this service is available.

It's constantly under construction, just like me. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and He is my personal Lord and Savior! I express my faith in many ways and one of them is through music. Now don't get weirded out and run away. God didn't drop a weird gene in me when I became a believer. If you're new to contemporary Christian music, then have a listen. The music styles vary from track to track. You might even hear something you like! There's a bar at the bottom of this page, push play or >> to advance to the next track. You can listen while you walk through my pages! My CD, Build an Altar, is a collection of thought provoking music guaranteed to strum your heart strings and encourage your soul! If you'd like to donate a little something to the current CD project you can set your own price, or you may come back later and drop an offering in the bucket by clicking any donation button. A busy wife and mom, I still find time to serve in my church (which I believe everyone should find time to do), around town and abroad. Writing since my teen years, my interest in music has become a journey of worship and self reflection. I'd like to think that my songs will share hope and renewed faith. Sharing my story is part of my ministry and an encouragement to others whose plans were rearranged by circumstances. If you'd like me to speak and/or sing for your group, please see my BOOKING & CONTACT PAGE. My singing style includes gospel, soul, classical, country, bluegrass, folk, and rock. I've been told I sound similar to: Darlene Zschech, Amy Grant, Kathy Troccoli, Liza Minnelli, some country singer and a few more. I think I sound like "me." But rather than famous or religious, I'm hoping that you will hear authenticity in my singing which points to true faith and trust in Jesus.
Thank you, for taking the time to read this and for coming to my website. I hope you have the time to take a walk through the pages of uplifting stories, quotes and scriptures under my links. God might lead you to just the perfect one for today. Come back again tomorrow and see which one He takes you to then. Peace out, I'm off to go write & record some more songs! (or do some laundry, kiss a boo boo, cook dinner, or...you get the picture...) For more info about me, click here. |

Sysadmins slam Conroy's Wi-Fi "misinformation"
Australia's peak organisation for systems administrators has accused Communications Minister Stephen Conroy of producing "misinformation" in relation to his claim that internet banking details could have been collected by Google's Street View cars during their scanning of Wi-Fi access points.
Conroy had reportedly warned of the potential for the financial information to be collected, as part of ongoing public attacks he has made on the search giant for what many believe to be a gross breach of privacy by its Street View cars, which it has acknowledged collected some payload data from Wi-Fi networks on their travels across the globe.
But in a statement released today, the Systems Administrators Guild of Australia (SAGE-AU) said Conroy's banking claims were "misinformation verging on fear-mongering".
"While it is clear Google's Street View cars collected more data than necessary – a practice not condoned by SAGE-AU – Internet banking data is safe from collection due to the nature of the communications from web browsers to Internet banking servers," said the group's spokesperson Iain Robertson in a statement.
Conroy's office has been invited by email to respond to SAGE-AU's statement. This article will be updated with any response.
Robertson pointed out that banking transactions conducted over the internet used the Secure Sockets Layer encryption standard to protect data.
"The use of encryption in this manner is a proven technology and is part of banking industry standard practice throughout Australia. Even if portions of Internet banking communications were intercepted by Google's Street View cars, it is not possible for that data to be decrypted by unintended recipients such as Google," he said.
Google's cars would have only been able to collect data from unsecured Wi-Fi access points (those not using encryption standards such as the current preferred option, WPA2). SAGE-AU said it recommended the use of this additional layer of standard.

And what Conroy also apparently fails to realise is that if the Streetview cards were whizzing along streets at 50km\h picking up WiFi signals, they would not have picked up anything notable, and for the most part would be random packets which would have little or no meaning.
I think a telling fact in this whole debate (as with all privacy debates) is that there actually have been no privacy implications of Google's actions so far. Nobody has come forward and said: "Google took my data and did something with it and now my life is demonstratably changed in these negative ways."
In short, nobody knows what data Google has, the data is probably junk that would not be usable without some serious data mining, and even if it wasn't, Google has pledged to delete it/and hand it over to the authorities.
We should be getting over this debate and moving on to something that matters.
A technically illiterate moron, and an outright liar. Just what you want from the man responsible for the future of telecommunications in Australia.
What saddens me is I'll still have to indirectly vote for him. There's just no way I can bring myself to vote for the alternative.
If you live in Victoria, there's a site here that will, upon the release of the ballot papers, provide printable instructions to take with you to the polling booth so that you can vote below the line for your party of choice but put Conroy last.
Hilarious! The fact that Conroy is a Senator does make it a little hard for those of us who don't live in Victoria to attempt to vote him out at the next election :)
Having said that, I wouldn't say it's Conroy that is the main problem with Labor's policies, especially on the filter. It's the party line entirely that needs to be changed. That is something that is a much bigger challenge.
A nice feature! (putting Conroy last on any piece of paper would feel great) but alas I'm in Tas.
Given the scope of issues we'll be voting on this election it'll be a tough vote indeed. I love the tech industry, but to me there are more important issues I'll be voting for which sway my vote (albeit a very reluctant one) towards Labor.
Interesting Simon — what are the other issues that you're voting pro-Labor on? There seems to be a movement away from Labor at the moment, although I think most people still expect them to win the next election fairly easily.
It's not so much that I'm swaying "towards Labor" Renai, but more it's a defiant stance against Liberal. Malcom Turnball represented a much more "centre right" opposition, and was a strong support of a Republic and the ETS. When Tony Abbott came to power the Liberal party is now back to being a terrifying hard right, conservative, monarch supporting, capitalist army, and I would rather be set on fire than give them my vote. Tony Abbott is a religious, climate change denying, lying, "1950′s style" dinosaur who would take this country back to the dark ages. The prospect of him leading this country scares the crap out of me.
I am angry as hell with Rudd for walking away from climate change, employing a clueless technology minister with stupid policies, taking a hard line on immigration with no compassion whatsoever, and a multitude of other issues. Hence as I said my vote for Labor will be a reluctant one.
It really is a classic case of the "lesser of two evils".
Second story today about the dingleberry Conroy. Honestly, I do try and stay away from politics but having that man in the position he's in winds me up! Mind you, even some folks in the EU are making the same claims about banking details being exposed so he's not alone on this particular issue.
Strictly speaking you could say that some of the (encrypted) packets may well have contained parts of a session with a banking system but to suggest that the information is usable/complete/readable is at best misleading…
I'd like to see Google make a statement about what sorts of data it collected so that we could see really what is in there … as many technically minded people have said, it really could be just a lot of garbage, depending on how fast the Street View cars drive etc. And as you've said, much of the important internet traffic is encrypted these days anyway.
The main point, really is that Senator Conroy has no clue about the industry he claims to represent, repeatedly issues moronic statements like this one, with a frequency that makes your head spin, as well as failing to either elicit or act on informed, intelligent factual information that would actually help him do his job properly, if that was in fact what he wanted to do.
WE know he's talking out of turn about things he knows nothing about, but we are a tiny minority of the public. The damage he is doing to HIS OWN PORTFOLIO, and the emerging industries related to it is boggling! If KRudd wants to defend this minister's actions, far worse in my mind than the more personal dalliances of a recently uncloseted minister which led to his resignation.
How did this Luddite get this brief? The difference between Sen Conroy and Ludlum are like night and day, since Ludlam spends time researching, learning, and consulting before he makes public statements.

Vintage Notes Grown in the Russian River Valley, the Black Muscat grapes ripen slowly in the cool, foggy climate, reaching their full flavor maturity much later than other varieties of grapes. A dry, late winter and early spring was followed by a long, cool summer. While we experienced no major heat spikes, the remnants of an unusual typhoon from Japan brought tropical moisture in the form of up to six inches of rain on October 12th and 13th.We picked the Black Muscat grapes just prior to the rains.Though harvest was a few weeks earlier than usual, the exotic flavors of the Black Muscat had accumulated enough to achieve thesignature berry and floral characteristics of our Eldorado Noir.

Baltimore Ravens 38, Denver Broncos 35 | ||
21 | The Ravens were riding high off the emotion of Ray Lewis' retirement news last week, but that's not in play here. And this is a tough trip to a tough place to play. Oh, by the way, Peyton Manning is waiting and rested. The Broncos beat the Ravens in Baltimore earlier this season, handling them with ease. I see it happening again. The Baltimore pass defense doesn't have the rushers to get after Manning. He will sit back and carve them to pieces. That will put a lot of pressure on Joe Flacco to keep up. I don't think he can. The Broncos have great cover players, and they have great pass rushers in Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller. They will get after Flacco in a big way. Ray Rice could take some of that pressure off, and the Broncos aren't great against the run, but Denver will score often and up the pace. Manning has owned the Ravens in his career, and it continues here. Ray Lewis is sent to retirement. Result: Denver Broncos 35, Baltimore Ravens 38 | |

Green Bay Packers 31, San Francisco 49ers 45 | ||
27 | The Packers lost to the 49ers at home in the opener, but these teams are a lot different now. The Packers are healthy, while the 49ers are now starting Colin Kaepernick at quarterback. This is his first playoff start. That's tough. At least it's at home. But the problem will be when he is forced to keep up with Aaron Rodgers. Yes, I said that. Even though the 49ers are good on defense, look what Tom Brady did to them a few weeks ago. I think Rodgers can have that type of game spreading them out. Look for big games by Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley. The 49ers will counter with a lot of Frank Gore, which is their strong point. But that won't be enough against Rodgers on this day. The playoffs are about great quarterbacks. Rodgers reminds us of that as the Packers take it in an upset. Result: Green Bay Packers 31, San Francisco 49ers 45 | |

Seattle Seahawks 28, Atlanta Falcons 30 | ||
17 | The Seahawks did some good things against the Redskins winning last week. But this is a big step up in terms of opponent. The Falcons earned the top seed for a reason. Yet nobody is giving them the respect they've earned. That's because this regime has yet to win a playoff game. That shouldnt matter. What does matter is that they can pass the ball better than any Falcons team that has lost in the playoffs. I think Matt Ryan and his outside receivers will have plenty of options down the field against Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner. They can win those battles. On the other side, Russell Wilson played well last week but now must do it inside against a better team. Atlanta will try and take away Marshawn Lynch and make Wilson beat them. I think he will have some success, but I think this is Ryan's night. He puts his playoff demons to rest. Result: Atlanta Falcons 30, Seattle Seahawks 28 | |
23 | ||
Houston Texans 28, New England Patriots 41 | ||
23 | The Texans scored 19 points against the Bengals. That won't be good enough against the Patriots. New England will get their points with Tom Brady. The last time, the Pats lit up the Texans. Brady threw four touchdown passes. It won't be as bad as that game, but I can't see the Houston pass defense, which has struggled against good quarterbacks, having a good day against Brady. J.J. Watt can't do it alone. On the flip side, the Texans' passing game is struggling. Matt Schaub just doesn't look like the same passer he was early in the season. The Texans will pound Arian Foster to try and keep Brady off the field, but that's a dangerous formula. They have to be able to keep up with the New England offense, and I'm not sure they can. Brady advances to another AFC title game with a big night against the Texans. Result: New England Patriots 41, Houston Texans 28 | |

Student Spotlight: Colum Wilson
Colum Wilson
Major: Engineering, Physics
Hometown: Downers Grove
Colum Wilson, who has always been good with numbers, was in eighth grade when he found a diagram detailing how an engine works at a power plant.
"That one picture told me so much, and from there I wanted to learn how things work," he said.
After high school, Wilson enrolled at College of DuPage and found professors who were interested in being resources for their students. He singled out four professors – James Africh and Anthony Lenard in mathematics, David Smith in engineering and Tom Carter in physics – for their support and encouragement. While at COD, Wilson also worked part-time as a tutor, helping other students in math, engineering and physics.
Wilson is spending summer 2012 immersed in science and mathematics at Fermilab. He was selected for an internship that will include intensive, hands-on training during two months at the national accelerator laboratory inBatavia. Although he is not sure what his exact assignment will be,Wilsonis excited about the opportunity to gain experience working alongside researchers at the world-renowned facility.
"I've toured Fermilab twice, and I am amazed at the sheer complexity of what's going on there," he said. "The amount of research is very cool, and I just keep thinking to myself, 'I'm going to Fermilab!'"
After his internship, Wilson will transfer to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to study mechanical engineering. He eventually would like to work at a highly acclaimed research institution like Fermilab or Argonne.
"It's really not which degree you earn but what you do with it and where you go, because there are so many opportunities to explore," he said. "College of DuPage has been an amazing place to start. The professors helped me succeed, and working at Fermilab will only enhance what I've learned so far."

Serie(s) | Working Papers, Project Reports |
This report is part of a larger study looking at how marine protected areas have contributed to poverty reduction at four different sites in four countries. Between November 2006 and May 2007, the study team conducted almost 1,000 household interviews and many group discussions in Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Indonesia and the Philippines. The data and information collected were focused on determining if the marine protected area had contributed to poverty reduction, and if so, why. This country report is one of four and provides input for a synthesis report combining the results from the four study sites.

100% of customers would recommend this product to a friend (3 out of 3)
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Real Kingston brand. G3 is not even found at stores in Argentina
In some cases it exceeds capacity stated, but always depends on files being copied or read.
Data traveler models remain simple, with straight out-of-the-box use.
Cons: I personally dislike the cap since it is always bound to be lost, but its a personal opinion. If you take care and pluck it in the back when you use it, it will stay at hand
Other: If you want 8GB to trust, it is worth its price.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - It's a genuine "Kingston G3 DataTraveller", authenticity is verifiable through the official site with the serial number provided on the case;
- Comes in original packaging;
- Real 8 GB capacity (it comes formatted in FAT32 system);
- Decent transfer rate.
Cons: No significant cons. I only wish the cap system was different, since the separate cap tends to loosen itself and eventually gets lost.
Other: I was very happy to find such a product for such a low price, since this is really hard to come by here in Argentina. This is a very reliable brand, now I know that my information is safe for a moderate price.

Glass Wall Partitions
MasterFormat Section 10 22 26 & 08 41 00
Harvest the natural light with movable glass partition walls.
About Hufcor Glass Partition Walls
The drama and beauty of glass enhance any space. Hufcor has combined the beauty of glass with the functionality of an operable partition in our glass wall partitions.
Folding glass partitions allow the light to shine in and provide the flexibility to reconfigure space. They are ideal for areas where a physical, but not a visual, barrier is needed.
Our customers are using glasswall folding door panels to close off store fronts, showrooms, bank lobbies, library training centers or to create meeting rooms. Hotels use them to separate the breakfast area from the lobby or for their retail stores.
We offer three styles of glass walls:
- Frameless, Series GL (glass panels with horizontal clear anodized aluminum top and bottom rails)
- Timber-framed, Series GT (glass surrounded with a wood frame)
- Acoustical, Series GA (glass with an aluminum surround). Choose acoustic glass panels for sound separation to STC 44 (Sound Transmission Class).
Panels are most often ordered with clear or satiny translucent tempered glass. However, custom glass, etching, decals, acrylic inserts and more can also be ordered.
Glass partition walls are suspended from overhead tracks -- no floor tracks or guides are needed. Floor pins are required to keep the panels secure in the opening.
Designing glass panels into your facility allows natural sunlight into your space, which could qualify for LEED points for Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Credit 8.2: Daylight and Views-1 point. See Hufcor's LEED information.

Monona News Update 5/20-5/28
This is the Monona News for the 4th week of May.
The Monona Planning Commission met last Monday at the Public Library. The committee had four main items on their agenda. The commission approved the permits for a city solar project. If the project is approved by the council, it would include installing panels on many city buildings including City Hall and the Library. The planning commission also saw plans for an expanded Tiki Bar at the East Side Club, and for a new outdoor eating area at the Silver Eagle. Finally, the commission saw plans for a new McDonalds on Monona Drive. If you would like to see last weeks meeting, watch for it on Monona Community Cable.
Drivers on Monona Drive were switched to the west side of the street last week. The next phase of the project, involves building a temporary lane on the east side. In a few weeks, drivers will be switched to the temporary lane, so that crews can build the new, permanent lanes on the West Side. During the construction project between Nichols and Winnequah, please slow down and watch out for workers. The reconstruction project should finish all phases next spring.
The construction project on the Drive will shift a Monona tradition south next week. Mo
nona's annual Memorial Day Parade, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, will start at 10:00 a.m. on Memorial Day. T
his year's parade will begin
just south of Nichols Road
and head south on Monona Drive to
. The parade will then turn left all the way to
Edna Taylor Parkway
. Like always, you can watch the Parade right here on Monona Community Cable.
Finally this week, we'll leave you with music from last week's orchestra concert. Have a great week.

Every day far out at sea half the fish caught in the North Sea are being
thrown back dead. That's almost a million tonnes of edible fish every
year - wasted. Fishermen hate doing it, but EU law says they have to.
They call it "discarding". What would you call it? Madness? An
environmental crime? A senseless waste? We want to stop it. Now on channel 4 -- in his new campaigning series Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall investigates the plight of the world's diminishing fish stocks. Please join the discard protest at www.fishfight.net

The article in the TimesDaily that reports an increase in racism in this country since the 2008 presidential election seems to be missing some very important and relevant data. Where are the results of the poll that was done to measure the percentage of blacks and Hispanics who harbor prejudice against whites?
Was this poll not performed, or is it simply that racism toward whites is viewed as being acceptable and not newsworthy?
My guess is that the AP didn't perform this poll because they knew the results would reflect that racial prejudice is prevalent across all races. Admitting this fact, however, would tend to diminish the significance of a story about the level of racism among white Americans.
It also would lessen the obvious intended political impact of this story 10 days prior to a very contentious election.
Regrettably, the media in this country has apparently become unwilling and/or incapable of delivering fact-based unbiased national news coverage.
All stories, regardless of content or subject, seem to advocate some social or political agenda, and this AP story about racial prejudice is no different.
Even though I am extremely disappointed that the TimesDaily deemed this story worthy of front page coverage, I am certainly not surprised.

This is my first post. Can anyone help identify these blighters? I thought one was a red hot poker but there are no flowers, only these catkin type things, and it has spread into several different places. The other one I thought was a sunflower but no flower yet so now not sure? Thanks for any help, Kate
Welcome roseka.
1. Thinking!
2. Looks like Carex pendula.
Hi silver surfer - wow that was quick! Thank you, yes I'm sure it is carex judging from all the photos. Now I need to decide whether to keep it as its not very colourful when I was expecting flowers! If anyone can help identify the other plant it would be great, roseka
First one looks like it could be a perennial sunflower. (Helianthus multiflorus?)
Thank you Phot's-Moll. However I'm not so sure, it has no flowers and the leaves are really big, about the size of my hand, and all the pictures I can find of the perennial sunflower the leaves are much smaller. Do you know when the sunflower would start to develop flowers? thanks
I think photo 1 is Nicandra physalodes, the shoo fly plant. Dave
Plant 1 has been bugging me too and I know I've seen it in my own garden!! It's definitely not Nicandra physalodes of which I have a few in the garden. The one I'm leaning towards could be Mirabilis which has failed to come up in the garden from self sown seeds for the last two years and sowing new seed hasn't proved fruitful either for the last couple of years either.
Hi Roseka, as my plant has been described as "definitely not Nicandra physaloides" I would be really grateful if you could keep us informed of it's growth. A few pictures, especially when it begins to flower, would be very helpful. I'm always ready to learn something new. Regards Dave
Hi Dave, I am definitely thinking it might be a perennial sunflower now. There seem to be flowers forming, and yes I will get some more photos when the flowers are bigger. It definitely isn't your Nicandra judging from the photos. thanks for all your comments Kate
OK, thanks roseka
Hi Roseka, has your plant flowered yet? Dave
Hi Dave, Yes I was waiting a few days more until more had flowered, but here's a pic from earlier today. I think the rubbish summer has delayed the flowers coming out, but its definitely sunflowers, and its a big blighter, over 6ft tall now! I think I'll have to move it to the back of the border for next year. See it here http://s1070.photobucket.com/albums/u485/roseka73/Gardening/?action=view¤t=IMAG0243.jpg Happy gardening! Kate
Thanks Kate, i think it could be some type of Rudbeckia or Helianthus. Dave

Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, one of the all-but-officially declared mayoral hopefuls, sent an email to supporters this morning teasing "a very important announcement about 2013″ he will make on Sunday. Sources tell Politicker Mr. de Blasio will be officially launching his mayoral campaign at the event. Read More
