As according to VWs plans, development of the next generation Golf is well underway. The Golf VI is being developed to be cheaper to build than the current Golf V, which has had VW management lamenting many ills: the electronics are too complicated and require highly qualified personnel, increasing training costs. The doors and the multilink rear suspension also require complex assembly techniques, leading to production times almost double those of rivals which leads to high production costs. The result is a car which in 2004 generated €900 million less than expected, one of a myriad reasons why VW has considered a replacement much earlier than originally planned. (more…)
Finally. The wait is over.
South Africa's, nay, AFRICA's First VW-Only aftermarket and performance vehicle magazine is now available. Limited print run means this first issue is sure to have cult like value and status!
A smoking red Mk1 old-skool vdub graces the cover and exclusive features inside include: G60 Vw Mk2 Golf, Flip-Flopped Mk1 16v monster and a slick Revo Tuned, Vw Mk5 running on 19″ alloys! Somewhat thinner then the usual Speed & Sound Magazine content, but they'v made up for it with a stunning centre-fold photo poster of a Mk2 dub.
Official Magazine Launch date is 1st April, the CNA's and newstands should get their copies from the 22nd March. Now now, being a VW blooded nutter, we can only have so much patience. Autostyle Motorsport has managed to grab a 100 odd magazines for ourselves.
A huge congratulations to the boys & girls at Speed & Sound Magazine, and expect tons of support from us at Autostyle Motorsport.
IMMEDIATELY available at our Johanesburg store, and available from Next Thursday at our Umhlanga Ridge store.
After a flood of emails and unapproved comments, I felt the need to give ya'll the lowdown on whats going on with Vdub Magazine.
Yes it still is coming out, its all completed and by the time you read this the boys & girls at Speed & Sound Magazine would have finished their proof reads and final checks. All ready to print. Delays were bound to happen, being the first issue they want everything to be just right.
I'v been told that we shall receive our copies middle to end of next week or the following week and will have about 100 or 200 copies for sale. As in the past, we grab the freshest copies off the printing press and I'll be sure to send out an exclusive mailer to announce this.
In the meantime, check out – designed and developed by Vito Fiorello, a die hard VW enthusiast. Many a late nite I have spent skype chatting about the technical bits of their website. In a nutshell you choose a Vw, and get an array of options to kit it out. Using authentic bits from Kamei, Oetinger, ATS, BBS and a whole lot more.
Above is a screenshot of my dream Mk1 Gti. Slammed to the ground with 15″ 8.5j BBS Alloys, Original Broad Front Spoiler, ultra scarce plastic wheel arches and original Gti Red grille trimmings.
Yes, I'm just as anxious to sink into this magazine as any other VW nutter in South Africa!
The boys & girls at Speed & Sound Magazine have been ultra secretive about their latest project, today finally I'm allowed to blow the whistle on South Africa's latest aftermarket tuning magazine.
VDubs Magazine – squarely aimed at VW owners and the brands in the VW stable. Think Volkswagen, Audi & Seat. Launching at the end of February 2007 with R19.99 pricetag, this publication is sure to be a hit in South Africa.

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) – The Louisiana State Fair means lots of food and fun, but it can easily get stressful if you find your child lost in the crowd.
But, with the help of a button and GPS technology, you can make sure you know where your kids are at all times.
Dorothy Long rented a GPS tracking device for her grandson Braxton.
"That's wonderful, wonderful," said Long. "Because he's a busy body. He loves running around seeing, so that would work out great."
Secura Trac puts Long's phone number into their system, and straps this small white tracker to her grandson's arm.
"If your child is lost or presses the s.o.s. button, you'll be able to quickly locate them, because it will send a text message or e-mail to your phone.
If they don't press the s.o.s. button, you can still track where they are and where they've been.
Just log on to the Secura Trac website, or call the booth during the fair.

We love longer lashes because they instantly give us bigger, sexier eyes. The latest lash enhancing treatments and conditioning mascaras give a simple way to add drama and impact.
There's a grow-your-own revolution in the US – and it's got nothing to do with gardening. Women looking for longer, fuller, darker eyelashes are no longer opting for false lashes or extensions, but are turning to a prescription service which could spell the end of these – and standard mascara, too. MyLash, has many high-profile devotees, including London lash queen Sue Marsh. Sue, who counts Elle Macpherson, Patsy Kensit, Trinny Woodall and Amanda Holden among her clients, specialises in couture eyelash extensions, but she says she has long sought a more permanent alternative.
"I have to admit that extensions can, in the long term, damage your lashes, so I needed to find a way to strengthen, lengthen and thicken my clients' lashes without them," says Sue.
The American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a prescription-only treatment for treating sparse eyelashes, and the active ingredient has been patented. However, beauty companies have been working hard to create cosmetic treatments that have the same effect, yet can be bought over the counter. The result is products such as RevitaLash and Peter Thomas Roth Lashes To Die For, both with active ingredients that mimic the action of prostaglandins, and Jan Marini Lash, which features a lash-lengthening peptide.
Even L'Oreal Paris has taken its haircare knowledge and applied it to lashes with its Lash Renewal Serum, which contains a protein particle that strengthens hair. If you're serious about longer lashes, you could use a serum at night and a treatment mascara during the day. Each normally takes around six to eight weeks to work – so start now and you'll have longer lashes by Christmas.

10 Most Ridiculously Difficult Games Ever Made
Nethack (PC)
NetHack is a single-player roguelike video game originally released in 1987 with ASCII graphics. It is a descendant of an earlier game called Hack(1985), which is a descendant of Rogue (1980). Comparing it with Rogue, Engadget's Justin Olivetti wrote that took its exploration aspect and "made it far richer with an encyclopedia of objects, a larger vocabulary, a wealth of pop culture mentions, and a puzzler's attitude." In 2000, Salondescribed it as "one of the finest gaming experiences the computing world has to offer." and in 2015, USGamer called it "one of the most intricate and challenge video games ever made."

Absolutely Wonderful
C. W. Emblom | Ishpeming, Michigan USA | 07/01/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This DVD rates a strong five stars with me. The hit songs are all here, the voices are superb, and comments throughout the one hour program about each individual are provided between songs. Although I remember when these songs first became popular I realize there are other reviewers who may be more knowledgable about The Mamas & The Papas in analyzing this program than I am. However, at least for me, the songs that we all remember and enjoy are here with comments regarding the songs and each of the singers. This was a one hour program that I sat through with my eyes riveted to the screen thoroughly enjoying every minute. I'm thankful for this DVD and so should anyone else who remembers this wonderful singing group."
Enjoyable, but far from perfect
Emilio Dreyer Pacheco | Porto Alegre, Brazil | 06/10/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"First, let me make it clear that this DVD is mandatory for any fan of The Mamas and The Papas for the musical footage it contains. As a documentary, though, it is disappointing. It tells the group's story rather superficially and looks more like a tribute to Mama Cass. It is only one hour long and ends after Cass's death. The previously released "Straight Shooter" faced some criticism for including too much interview footage and not enough music, but at least it was thorough, in-depth look at the roller coaster ride that was John Phillips' life and career. This new documentary focuses on the music, but still features voiceovers and edited clips, so why didn't they release a collection of videos, instead? "Straight Shooter" seems to be out of print, so maybe they should reissue the unedited version of it and update it in the extras, including a tribute to John Phillips. That would do the group's legacy justice. But don't get me wrong, this new DVD is highly enjoyable, a fitting celebration to the bright side of The Mamas and The Papas and a touching homage to Cass Elliot. And it does feature some footage that is not on "Straight Shooter", including some comments by Cass's daughter Owen."
Mamas and Papas Sing For Their Supper on DVD
Papa J | 03/30/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)
"This is a very good DVD, although it varies a bit from the PBS program. No, unfortunately it does not have their performance of "Nowhere Man" from Hullabaloo. I also noticed that in a few performances like "California Dreamin'" and "Monday, Monday" the sound is out of sync with their facial expressions and movements. There also is a part of "California Dreamin" where the Papas' vocals are missing and all you hear are the Mamas. On "Monday, Monday", the vocals are extremely upfront and the musical or instrumental track seems to be drowned out or missing, although part of the song there is an emphasis on strings. There are also vocal parts that appear to be different from the studio versions and from the PBS program. I have to watch my videotape of the PBS show to be sure, but it seems the vocal "I used to live in New York City" from "Twelve-Thirty" is different, and there are slight changes in "I Saw Her Again" and "My Heart Stood Still." However, this DVD truly has a wealth of classic and rare performances that makes it worthwhile. I really enjoyed the early black and white performances, especially "Somebody Groovy" and "Do You Believe In Magic," where the group outshone Barry McGuire's lead vocal. The bonus material of "Sing For Your Supper," "Here in My Arms" and "Make Your Own Kind of Music" features complete performances and brief interviews from Michelle, Denny and Owen Elliot (Cass's daughter). The only other criticism I would make is that not all of the performances are complete - some are edited like "Words of Love" or have band members or other interviewees talking over parts. Most are full-length performances though. This is a must for Mamas and Papas fans - now, if they would only release a live concert DVD from one of their Hollywood Bowl performances! P.S. When you first put the DVD in and you get the main menu, you hear part of "California Dreamin'." If you listen very carefully, you can hear Barry McGuire, who originally recorded the song for his second album. The Mamas & Papas provided backing vocals for Barry and later, when it was decided they were going to record it and release it as a single, Barry's vocal track was erased and Denny's lead vocal inserted."
Mamas & The Papa's / Were as popular as the Beatles
Little Joe | Timbuktoo | 03/07/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I've seen many a music DVD in my time but this one stands out as one of the best. Most people are aware of the affair between Michelle and Denny but I sure as heck didn't know until now that Papa John & Denny wrote "I Saw Her Again Last Night" about that affair! This was right from John Philips own lips on this disc. The whole DVD is filled with inside info, home movies and beautiful, quality filmed color performances from different TV shows. I was channel surfing and just happened upon this DVD being shown on a PBS station. It isn't sheduled for release for another couple weeks but I'm ready to pounce on it when it does."


text: David, how far is your tower from the shack? I wonder about whether the tower ground should be connected to your house ground with something other than the shield of your coax cable(s). My thought is that if your tower is located a ways from the shack then as a charged cloud moves overhead (or if lightning strikes) the ground potentials at the tower ground and the shack ground will be different. This will cause current flow between the two and it'll take the least resistance path which will be down the shield of your coax cables. It seems like it would be better to keep everything more or less at the same potential by connecting both grounds together with some heavy wire/cable/strap, and placing ground rods between the tower and shack. That way most of the current (either from charge build up or during a lightning strike) flows along the ground cable instead of on your coax. Bob and I have gone round and round on this. He thinks it's a waste of money, I'm not so sure. Does anybody else on this list have a strong opinion one way or another about this? thanks, Dave K0QE ---------- From: DavidC [SMTP:email@example.com] Sent: Thursday, December 09, 1999 8:57 PM To: firstname.lastname@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Three Lightning Protection Clarifications Please? Thanks to all for the very helpful review of lightning protection and grounding principles! Here is what I have learned from this and am about to apply. Context: The only reason I am extending the ground is because the shack entry point for antennas is 48 feet away from the service ground rod. I understand that I need to connect to that to avoid circulating currents. The tower will be heavily grounded so hopefully most of the energy will be absorbed there. The ground here is said to be Alkaline (sand, some clay and limestone) and the test I just ran confirms that. Plans: I will go with copper ground rods and avoid complications. The wire I have is stranded and each strand looks to be about #10. I am awaiting a reply from Harger as to the cost and part numbers I need for the CADweld moulds, starter and materials. I am told that Harger is 1/2 to 1/3 cheaper than all other sources. I will have a grounding panel just outside the shack wall, about 24" from the wall, through which all of the antenna and rotor lines will be routed. My one open-wire feedline will have both a disconnect knife switch and inline AEI lightning protection fuses. The coax and rotor wires will have Polyphaser and MOV protectors. The panel will be thoroughly bonded to the buried ground line that I will have extended from the service panel ground rod to the shack entry point 48 feet away. I think that about covers it. - Thanks! & 73, DavidC K1YP ************************************************************************ __________________________________________ NetZero - Defenders of the Free World Get your FREE Internet Access and Email at http://www.netzero.net/download/index.html -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: email@example.com Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com Problems: firstname.lastname@example.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search.htm -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: email@example.com Administrative requests: email@example.com Problems: email@example.com Search: http://www.contesting.com/km9p/search.htm

Microsoft released the first Community Technology Preview (CTP) of SQL Server 2008, code-named Katmai, at TechEd last week. Yes, yes, I know. Some of you actually have real jobs with real servers and might want to continue reading about SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2000, and perhaps even SQL Server 7.0 from time to time. But talking head pundits like me just love to discuss the latest and greatest tools coming down the pike, so bear with me. I promise to stay relevant by talking about existing technology, but it's fun to dream about what we'll have within the next 18 months or so, isn't it?
SQL Server 2008 is a major release and it's impossible for me to cover or discuss everything in a single week's editorial. This week, I simply want to have a high-level conversation about the CTP program in general. We'll dive into a review of features and other SQL Server 2008 topics at a later time. Of course, SQL Server 2008 provides plenty of opportunities for further conversation in the coming months, and there's no lack of current reading material if you want to dig deeper into SQL Server 2008 right now. SQL Server 2008 CTP Books Online is a great option, and I'm sure there's plenty of interesting information to peruse among the more than 885,000 Google references to "SQL Server 2008" that were available when I was writing this article.
You can download the first SQL Server 2008 CTP from the SQL Server Connect Web site at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/content/content.aspx?ContentID=5395. Don't fret if you miss the first CTP. Microsoft told me that it plans to release a new SQL Server 2008 CTP every two months until the final product ships "sometime in 2008." Speaking of timeframes, I had a long conversation with various Microsoft people at TechEd about the multiple-year delay in getting SQL Server 2005 out the door. The company assures me that this won't happen with SQL Server 2008. Microsoft wouldn't commit to a date more specific than 2008, but the company did assure me it's talking about calendar year 2008 rather than its 2008 fiscal year, which runs from July 1, 2008, through June 31, 2009.
Microsoft also shared several new engineering changes that will affect the coding and development of SQL Server at a very high level. One topic we discussed was new engineering and code-management techniques that will let Microsoft work on new features that could potentially take more than two years to build without affecting it's commitment to ship a new version of SQL Server roughly every two years moving forward. These techniques, among other things, give me confidence that SQL Server 2008 will, in fact, ship in its namesake year. As software vendors like to say, "shipping is a feature." Let's hope that Microsoft realizes that shipping SQL Server 2008 in 2008 is one of the most important features that users need.
Getting back to the CTP features, Microsoft informed me that this CTP cycle will be a bit different than other CTP cycles because the features introduced in a SQL Server 2008 CTP will be fully implemented. In the past, Microsoft would sometimes implement only part of a feature, leaving users to wonder if the way the feature worked in the CTP was by design and finished, a bug, or just not quite done. Making these determinations was especially fun if the feature didn't quite work the way it was described in Books Online. I hope that the new doctrine of all or nothing at the feature level will make working with CTP's more pleasant. I think it's a great change on Microsoft's part.
For more information about SQL Server 2008, go to http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/futureversion/default.mspx. I also encourage you to peruse the many interesting SQL Server 2008 Web casts from TechEd 2007 that are available at http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/teched07.aspx?tab=webcasts&id=19743. In particular, you'll find that David Campbell's SQL Server keynote provides a great roadmap and high-level feature discussion for SQL Server 2008. Enjoy.

My wife and I think you are all the greatest people in the world that God put here on earth. We have health problems and there is always someone to help.
I was a firefighter and medic on the Des Moines, Iowa, fire department and know how much people are appreciated when helping others. As a double amputee, I rely on drivers. Most recently my wife had a fall and had back injuries and so she, too, needed drivers. There has been someone to take us to the doctor, grocery store and church. Also many have brought food in for us.
Drivers are always there for me for Lions, Kiwanis and band concerts in Hot Springs.
The volunteers for the physically challenged at Coronado are to be commended for helping us enjoy the game as much as we can.
My wife and I love you all and in closing, I can't say thank you to each of you enough times. God bless.

ASUS has joined the ranks of other brand twitter gaffes with its latest tweet. Apparently featuring the rear of one of their promo models, the tweet joked: "This rear looks pretty nice, so does the new transformer AIO"
Thanks to Twitter user Melissa: https://twitter.com/#!/0xabad1dea for the now-deleted photo.
When will brands learn? As a social media strategist I often dabble in community management for my clients. Yes there are a number of situations that arise that are hilarious and make for funny FAILS like this one…but you don't want to be the brand to publicly put it out. Someone like ASUS who is already behind in the hardware game should recognize that. Besides, with a generally lower price point on their products, you might not want to alienate the decision makers who might be buying inexpensive laptops for their kids.
Good work ASUS. Thanks for the laugh at your expense. Hope you have a good crisis team.
UPDATE: Asus exec: Google 'targeting Amazon' with upcoming tablet…

part of a small rebellion | by maryann johanson

This turns out to be mostly false. The issue in question mostly pre-dated the Murdoch takeover. Still, not a good sign.
Thanks, Jurgan.
Also thanks, MaryAnn, for posting it so that Jurgan could bring the whole flap to our attention and we don't get our knickers in a twist.
I'm inclined to hold off judgment until I know more about the article's content. Maybe the "secret" revealed is that seemingly supernatural phenomena have perfectly reasonable explanations.
So basically it's an episode of Scooby-Doo.
In that sense, the entire history of science is an episode of Scooby-Doo. :-)
My favorite episode is "Scooby-Doo Meets the Insane Clown Posse." Most of the episode is Velma trying to explain magnets and getting increasingly frustrated.
(I'm writing this in the middle of the night, and I can't tell if it makes any sense, but I think it's funny.)
Please support truly independent film criticism as generously as you can.

Futures jumped Wednesday after a better-than-expected rise in durable-goods orders.
Futures had already been pointing to a higher open amid anticipation of the Federal Reserve's announcement on interest rates and monetary policy.
Orders for durable goods, big-ticket items like refrigerators and cars, rose 1.8 percentlast month, triple the 0.6-percent gain expected, amid strong aircraft sales. Excluding volatile transportation components, orders were up 1.1 percent.
Still to come: A report on new-home sales at 10 am ET and crude inventories at 10:30.
New home sales are expected to have risen to 360,000 annualized units versus 352,000 in April, a Reuters poll showed.
The Federal Open Market Committee releases its statement at 2:15 pm New York time, at the end of two days of meetings. Economists expect the Fed to give a nod to stabilization of the economy. It may also add some weight to its comments about holding rates down, and it may tweak its quantitative easing program.
The dollar hit its lowest level in nearly two weeks against a basket of currencies ahead of the Fed meeting.
A lower dollar boosted mining stocks and in Asia and Europe as metals prices increased. Gold climbed past $930.
In the Treasury market, a $40 billion offering of 2-year notes was well received Tuesday, with large participation by foreign central banks and others, traders said. Another $35 billion in 5-years will be auctioned Wednesday.
Oil slid below $69 a barrel after data from the American Petroleum Institute's (API) showed a surge in U.S. gasoline stockpiles, signaling weaker-than-expected demand from the world's top energy user.
In corporate news, technology stocks got a boost after Oracle reported expectation-beating earnings. Oracle shares were 2.6 percent higher in premarket trading.
But Boeing shares continued to slide following yet another delay in the debut of its Dreamliner aircraft. Shares slid 1.3 percent premarket after dropping nearly 6.5 percent Tuesday; Morgan Stanley cut its rating on the stock to equal-weight from overweight.
JPMorgan Chase was the world's strongest bank in 2008, moving up from fourth place the previous year, magazine The Banker reported in its annual list of 1,000 strongest banks globally. The UK's Royal Bank of Scotland was the biggest loser of 2008.
Staying the in the financial sector, Citigroup is raising the base salaries of rank-and-file employees by as much as 50 percent this year to offset smaller annual bonuses, the New York Times reported.
In addition, Bank of New York Mellon is one of the three remaining contenders to buy Citi's Japanese asset management unit, according to the Nikkei business daily.
Meanwhile, a major union this week called on Morgan Stanley to reverse recent salary hikes for senior executives and other top earners, the Wall Street Journal said citing a letter from the union.
And General Motors notified its white-collar workers late Tuesday that it plans to cut up to 4,000 more jobs by the end of the year.
Companies reporting earnings include Monsanto before the opening bell and Bed, Bath & Beyond , as well as Nike after the closing bell.

Perhaps the least-surprising news of the night: As soon as it became clear that Republicans would regain the Senate, Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley told CNBC that making last year's tax cuts permanent would be a key item on the GOP agenda.
The prospects have similarly improved for several other Republican economic projects that have been bottled up by Senate Democrats, including tax breaks for investors who have taken losses and tax cuts for profitable corporations.
Such moves may or may not help jump-start the sputtering economy. But they will virtually guarantee a return to the era of structural budget deficits. That may be the most far-reaching economic implication of yesterday's unexpected Republican sweep. We are now blessed with a Congress and executive branch devoted to the proposition that the government should spend, but not tax. (And what's more, it shouldn't try too hard to collect the taxes that are owed, especially if they're owed by companies or the cheating wealthy.)
Last month, the books were closed on a disastrous fiscal 2002. The government ran its first deficit since 1997—$157 billion—and the $6.3 trillion, 10-year surplus that President Bush inherited all but evaporated.
Of course, many of the spending increases and the tax cuts were telegraphed in the 2000 campaign. Bush entered office committed to spending more on defense and education, and to not slashing popular entitlement programs. Wouldn't be compassionate. And to be sure, Democrats abetted the squandering of the surplus. But every time a problem has cropped up—a drought on the plains, problems in the farm economy—the Bush administration and Congress got together to increase spending. Add the costs of permanent mobilization for the global war on terrorism, and you get an expanding deficit. Last year, spending rose 8 percent while receipts fell 7 percent.
It's true that as a percentage of GDP, the deficit is comparatively small. A $157 billion deficit in a $10 trillion economy is peanuts. Back in the early '90s, deficits approached $300 billion in a $7 trillion economy—triple the impact of today's shortfall. And I don't subscribe to the '90s-vintage Republican orthodoxy that the government should balance its books every year. When the economy can't generate jobs on its own, the government should run a deficit. So far the re-emergence of the budget deficit hasn't hampered the economy much. Despite the deterioration in the federal balance sheet, interest rates have plummeted to record lows—the opposite of what many thought would be happen.
So, what's the problem?
Well, the election changes the dynamic of revenues and spending in troubling ways. Essentially, all the forces against deficit spending have either disappeared or been defanged. Alan Greenspan was a deficit hawk in the '90s, but he has either forgotten the significance of long-term deficits or changed his tune because a Republican is in the White House.
The Democrats who controlled the Senate for most of the past two years embraced balanced budget politics—although they did it more from political expedience than principle. But those Democrats no longer run the Senate. Gone, too, are many of the Northeastern root-canal Republicans—like Warren Rudman—who could be relied upon to agitate for balanced budgets. With control of both houses of Congress and a 2004 re-election campaign that starts now, Republicans will have little incentive to control spending.
What's more, the government spends money in far bigger chunks now than it used to. The United States nearly broke even on the Gulf War. By contrast, we'll be picking up the tab for any military campaign against Iraq: $50 billion to $100 billion. The numbers bandied about for a prescription drug benefit are in the hundreds of billions. Among other worthy issues with bipartisan support, we'd need several hundred billion to fix the alternative minimum tax and a couple of trillion to "save" Social Security.
Even without such gigantic commitments, it's likely that the disconnect between government income and spending will grow. More and more, the federal government is coming to resemble one of those little oil companies the president was involved with in the private sector. Every year, revenues go down and expenses go up. Under Bush, government spending has risen at a 6.05 percent annual compound rate, while receipts have fallen at a 4.34 percent annual rate. If the trends of the past two years continue, the government would run a $590 billion deficit in 2004. On a percentage basis, we'd be back where we were at the end of Bush père's term. Disregard the administration's absurdly optimistic prediction that revenues will rise 9.5 percent and spending will rise just 6.3 percent in 2003. The continued phase-in of the backloaded tax cuts and the likely passage of new tax cuts mean revenues are likely to fall further.
Meanwhile, it's difficult to read the shift in congressional control as anything but a green light for tax avoidance. Buried amid the campaign talk yesterday was a New York Times article in which outgoing Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Charles Rossotti lamented that his agency is unequipped to deal with the growing army of wealthy and sophisticated tax cheats. "Basically, demands and resources are going in the opposite direction," said Rossotti. "This is systematically undermining one of the most important foundations of the American economy." What's more, the Bush administration had prohibited Rossotti from telling a congressional hearing that the IRS couldn't do its job with the funds it had.
All those who think that Bush will replace Rossotti with a pit bull and then grant him the resources he needs to pursue tax cheaters aggressively, raise your hands. (The deficit the administration helped create is the perfect excuse not to bolster watchdog agencies like the IRS and the SEC.)
With the corporate scandals having proved irrelevant at the polls, the Republican-controlled Senate now has little incentive to crack down on companies or individuals going offshore to avoid taxes, or on accounting firms constructing sketchy tax shelters. Already, corporations have been paying a declining share of taxes—a mere $144 billion last year. While the profits they report to investors have risen steadily, the income taxes paid by corporations have fallen. In 2002, the corporate income tax raised 22 percent less than it did in 1997.
Granted, budget figures are notoriously hard to predict. But given the trends and the new power arrangements in Washington, it's difficult to see how the budget will be balanced anytime soon.

re: burning sys image to dvd
I am running Win7 home 32bit on my laptop. I saved the C drive image to my D hard drive because I didn't have any double density 8.5gb dvd's. I now have some double density dvd's. 1st off I have a 250gb hard drive. About 1/4th used for the C drive. Will the image fit on one 8.5gb dvd? and how do I move the C drive image off the D hard drive to the dvd?

FORT LAUDERDALE — Ben Bollenger`s hobby takes a lot of time.
And, in an exhibit Thursday at the Broward County Library, Bollenger and others showed why they are never at a loss for the time of day.
Bollenger wore four pocket watches, all 100 years old or more, as he and Art Fogelson, both members of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, talked about the ancient art of figuring out what time it is.
``They`re fun to collect,`` said Bollinger, a Lauderhill resident and retired businessman.
On display in an eighth-floor library room were more than 50 mechanical clocks and watches, many of them more than 75 years old.
About 40 people attended the exhibit.
Bollinger has been collecting pocket watches and clocks for several years now, and he talked about them the way children talk about baseball card collections.
He owns German Bird clocks, Vienna (Austria) Regulators, Fuzee Repeaters, Dollar Watches, Steeple clocks and Mantel clocks.
``I rarely sell a clock,`` he said.
In South Florida, 230 people belong to the Florida Gold Coast and Palm Beach chapters of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, according to Bollinger.
The two chapters are sponsoring a regional convention next week for national association members at the Marriott Resort and Beach Club in Fort Lauderdale.
A large exhibit of clocks and watches will be on public display.

Usually when you're talking about sex and size, the word micro is not used in a good way. But today, on day 3 of the 12 Days of Orgasm, I'm going to tell you otherwise. Because powerful things can come in small packages.
The name of today's sex toy, My Micro-Miracle Massager ($21.50), is an accurate description. It looked pretty small when I took it out of the package, measuring at a little over 4 inches.
But you know it's not the size that matters, right?
It's what you do with it. And you can make this massager have some intense vibrations.
The head of the massager is dome-shaped and looks like a mushroom cap. On the sides of the head are a series of ridges that are large enough to add to your experience. The whole head is completely flexible and can be bent to over a 90-degree angle.
The entire massager has a nice weight to it and is covered in a nice-feeling silky smooth material.
It's turned on by rotating the base clockwise. The more you turn, the more intense the vibration. And it gets pretty intense. High intensity is HIGH.
One drawback, especially when throttled to the limit, is that the vibrator makes a loud buzzing sound, kind of like one of those large remote-controlled airplanes. This is not a toy you can't use and expect to be discrete.
The vibrator comes with a hand strap at the base, which gives it the look of a big key chain. One way the strap could come in handy? If you use the massager, say in the ocean (it's waterproof) and lose your grip on it. Otherwise, I would take the strap off because it can get in the way. It's made out of nylon and isn't as easy to clean as the rest of the vibe.
Another thoughtful feature? The vibe takes 6 watch batteries to operate, but it comes with 12 of them. I love that. No running to the store and asking the clerk where the economy pack of watch batteries is. You might as well say, "Hey, I need extra batteries to power up my vibrator so I can go get off."
I think the name Micro-Miracle says it all. Because aren't we all looking for a miracle?
Keep up with our ongoing 12 Days of Orgasm list.
Would you like this miracle in your stocking?

I've been reading a lot lately, something I never ever in a million years would have thought I would do! But lately books have been a huge part of my life (thanks Abi!) and I've been thinking I'd like to write a book or 2 myself one day..
This made me realise I should probably start small and get some practice by writing short stories on my adventures, cause sometimes I get up to some cool stuff every now and again.. So starting with my latest mission to Nugget Point with some good friends of mine, Jeremy and Sina, heres how the weekend went...
AS per usual for me, we left an hour or two later than planned so ended up slightly rushing to make it for sunset! There were road works along the last few km of road to the Nugget Point lighthouse and the road was just large rocks so Jeremy's poor car took a hell of a beating! He was adamant we would make it for sunset though and he didn't fail!
It wasn't a bad sunset so we were pretty stoked! I tried running to the top of a hill to find a good angle and decided a short cut over the long grass was the best option, my shoes paid the price...
We hung around talking, laughing and shooting as the light faded, met a cool couple and had a good chat too! Tried a few shots of these guys but didn't exactly succeed.. Jeremy pulling a pretty sexy face here when I caught him off guard haha
with clear skies we anticipated a good night for some astro and were not disappointed! after getting some cool shots of the Milky Way over the Lighthouse, lady Aurora decided to pay us a visit!
A quick pano of the Aurora between the lighthouse and cliff we were shooting from;
After a good long time shooting in the cold, we decided we should probably go and find a place to sleep as we only had a couple of hours left before we needed to get up for sunrise.. We ended up finding a nice spot overlooking the ocean to set up our tents for about an hour and a half worth of sleep! I was shattered and never actually got around to setting mine up properly, so just slept on my yoga mat, essentially wrapped in my tent with my head poking out haha it was a truly awe inspiring, sleeping under the Milky Way by the sea, something I'll never forget!
Shortly after finally managing to fall asleep, I awoke to Sina telling me we need to get up.. I raised my head to the amazing view of some great looking cloud beginning to turn orange with the first rays of sunlight peaking out from below the horizon! It took a good few minutes to muster up the strength to get up, but the sky gradually lighting up more and more motivated me to grab my gear and start running! This was the first quick shot I took on the run to the Lighthouse;
I really wish I managed to get up earlier to have captured the best light and had time to pick some more awesome compositions but I ended up getting such a sick shot of the path leading up to the light house towards the end of sunrise anyway, so I shouldn't complain! This was the first decent shot I took as I was rushing up the path;
I really wanted a shot of the nuggets so headed to the viewing platform in front of the lighthouse to get that typical view, but it was super worth it...
This sunrise just kept on giving! The light was different every minute so I managed to get a couple of different shots, heres a hand stitched 2 shot panorama of the light getting under the low cloud and lighting it up nice and red, I decided on a kind of minimal processing style on this one, just adding a slight glow effect, I quite like it..
I decided I should run back up to the cliff to get a shot of the lighthouse and the nuggets but as soon as I got around the lighthouse I fell in love with the view of the path leading up to the lighthouse with the orange glow of sunrise behind it! I stayed here for a while and got a couple of nice shots but this one below was, for me at least, the winning shot of the whole trip! (Also at the top of this post too, I liked it so much I posted it twice lol)
We headed up to the cliff to get that typical view overlooking the point, but there was tonnes of tourists there all over the sketchy track up the hill, so I never really got any good shots.. But I did get this kind of cool silhouette of the lighthouse on the way back;
By this point we were pretty damn shattered! We had spent the best part of the last 11 hours shooting, so we needed some more sleep! We headed back to our camp spot and were loving the view over the ocean with the sun just rising in the sky, so we packed up the tents, chucked the air bed right on the edge of the hill overlooking the sea and the 3 of us fell asleep to a truly epic view! Sadly I never actually got a shot of our bed on the hill, but I did get one of the tent before we pulled it down;
After catching up on a bit of sleep in the sun, we continued on our adventure with a coffee in Kaka Point, then had a huge debate on wether we had enough time to visit Purakaunui Falls or not, which was quite funny having 3 very tired people trying to sort our lives out haha.
We decided that we wouldn't have enough time to make it to the falls as well as make it to Steam Punk HQ in oamaru before it closed, which was one of the main reasons for going on this trip, so we just continued on to Oamaru and had an hour to enjoy the weird attraction..
This place was pretty funky, heaps of weird sculptures made from bits of metal and junk, with a kind of Nazi/demonic feel to it haha got some cool shots around the place;
I quite liked the flare from the light on this Parana thing, it was good fun roaming around in this place, lots of interesting dark scenes to play with! My 6D was really in its element here with its low light capabilities!
The main reason we came to this crazy place was for one certain room they have.. Sina saw a cool photo from this place and was super keen to come check it out! I'll let the photos speak for themselves..
I think Jeremy got the winning shot from this room with some amazing multi-coloured skulls but I can't find the photo.. None the less, it was a pretty epic experience! I imagine a few people on different hallucinogens will have had a great time in this room in the past..
After a bit of fun here and staying a good 15 minutes after the place had closed, we headed to Dunedin to get to Tunnel Beach for sunset. I saw an awesome lone tree on a hill on the way and had to pull over to shoot it! Sadly there were a few other trees in the way which made it quite difficult to get a good angle, but I still quite like this shot;
We stopped at a little fish 'n' chip shop in some small town somewhere in some place called something at some time I can't remember, but had a great big feed and had heaps left over so I took my chips with me down to the beach!
I was stoked to finally get to shoot here after seeing a lot of epic shots of this place, I never realised how cool this beach actually was! I went prickle diving to try get to a good angle but didn't have much luck, this was the best shot I got after being stabbed in the legs a few thousand times..
Best seat in the house.. haha
I did get a few nice angles while roaming around, sunset wasn't too bad either;
I hung around in the grass while Jeremy and Sina headed out onto the point, I ended up yelling instructions at them to cuddle for a photo from a few hundred metres away over the sound of the wind and waves, which I'm surprised they managed to figure out what I was saying! Got quite a nice shot of them though..
There was an interesting cloud hanging out in the sky too which kind of looked a bit like a crab, so had to shoot a huge pano of it;
We then headed down a really cool stair case through a tunnel down to the beach which I never knew was there! It was quite a surprise and such an epic spot! The cliffs all around us were beautiful and had some really cool shapes, Jeremy posing to provide a sense of scale;
That pointy cliff hes staring at looks very much like a roman warrior from the side, with that crazy mow-hawk helmet thing and a big bushy beard, don't you think?
After this we were shattered and began our long drive home to Queenstown, as we wanted to be back in our own beds for the night and had a few things to do the next day, but it probably wasn't the best decision to drive 4 hours after so little sleep! I got a few hours of nap time in the car and drove the last stretch through the Kawarau Gorge which I really enjoyed and felt great doing! I always love driving that road.. Arrived home at 1:30am and a warm bed was a very welcome feeling after an intense few days!
To finish off, heres another few shots from the mission;


text: Gearbox was a company only truly known for working on Half-Life. That all changed in 2009 when they blew everyone's minds with their instant hit, Borderlands. Now, 3 years later, they have finally let us get ours hands on Borderlands 2. The game promised to be bigger, better, and more badass, not to mention that it would cause us to joy puke our faces off. However, did the game stand up to the hype around it?


text:
In 2013, after the shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newton, Connecticut, Vice President Joe Biden held three days of wide-ranging talks on gun violence prevention including a meeting with video game industry executives. At that meeting the Entertainment Software Association gave a statement similar to the one it issued on Monday.
"Like all Americans, we are deeply concerned about the level of gun violence in the United States," the organization said Monday. "Video games are plainly not the issue: entertainment is distributed and consumed globally, but the U.S. has an exponentially higher level of gun violence than any other nation."
After the 2013 meetings wrapped, the White House called on research on the effect of media and video games on gun violence but nothing substantial came out of that.

I'm delighted to announce a special Yuletide Edition of the Cambridgeshire SQL Server User Group on Tuesday 9th December 2014 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. We are delighted to have Tony Davis giving his first ever presentation for the User Group and Mark Broadbent will be giving his first for us in over 2 years. The agenda will be as follows:
- 18:00 – Registration
- 18:15 – Session 1 – Tony Davis presenting on "You did WHAT to my transaction log?!?!"
- 19:15 – Break
- 19:30 – Session 2 – Mark Broadbent (MCM) presenting on "Ye Olde Cluster Curiosity Shoppe – Clustering Tips, tricks and oddities"
- 20:30 – Close!
To register for this meetup, please head over here.
Session 1: Tony Davis – You did WHAT to my transaction log?!?!
You won't believe what people will do to the transaction log when they get into trouble. The log is full! The application is experiencing strange errors! Do something! In this session, I will apply commonly suggested advice from internet search results and various forums, in search of a fast remedy for explosive log growth. How bad could it be?
Fortunately, once you understand what the transaction log looks like, how SQL Server uses it to guarantee database consistency, and the factors that can prevent reuse of log space, the dangers of 'quick fix' advice will become readily apparent, as will the right way to diagnose and fix a full log file.
Note: no production servers will be harmed during this presentation.
Tony Davis is the editor of Simple-Talk.com and SQLServerCentral.com websites and newsletters, with a combined audience of over 1.5 million subscribers. Tony specializes in databases, and especially SQL Server. As the editor behind most of the SQL Server books published by Red Gate, he spends much of his time helping others express what they know about SQL Server. He is also the lead author of the book, SQL Server Transaction Log Management. In his spare time, he enjoys running, football, contemporary fiction and real ale.
Session 2: Mark Broadbent – Ye Olde Cluster Curiosity Shoppe – Clustering Tips, tricks and oddities
Welcome to the strange and mysterious world of SQL Server Failover Clustering and enter Ye Olde Cluster Curiosity Shoppe where we will reveal a miscellany of top tips, tricks and advice gained from nearly two decades of installing and troubleshooting SQL Clusters. Roll-up, roll-up! Come and see :- The horrifying "Shrunken Head" The stomach turning "Bearded Lady" The incredible "Many-Headed Cluster" The mystifying "Marie Celeste" The unbelievable "Zombie" The doom ridden "Installation of Death" The nightmare inducing "Bodysnatcher" The malevolent "Montezuma's Revenge" …and many more freakish exhibits and top tips from the field of SQL Server Failover Clustering!
Mark Broadbent is a SQL Server Microsoft Certified Master and event lead to SQLSaturday Cambridge, the UKs first ever SQLSaturday. A frequent speaker at international events, User Group and Virtual Chapter leader and current PASS UK Regional Mentor, Mark is always looking to support and grow the global Community.

Iggy, Iggy, he's our man!
Looks like Iggy pulled through with another one!
The next online tournament for both bloggers and readers will be on Sunday, March 13 at 9pm EST.
We will be playing HORSE, and the buy-in is only $5.00. The tourney will be held at Full Tilt Poker.
I'm sure there will be tons of bounties, added money and bubble prizes.
I will post more as soon as Perry Friedman confirms that this date and time is okay.
Be there, or be, well, since I have no life, way cooler than me!

Chalk-Tique Paste Wax - Light 170g
FeaturesThe perfect follow up for a Howard Chalk-Tique Powder Additive painted surface. Chalk-Tique Paste Wax adds a natural-looking satin wax finish that helps protect and beautify your new chalk-style painted surface. Use Chalk-Tique Dark Paste Wax to slightly darken the paint and help create a "distressed" looking, aged patina. Use Chalk-Tique Light Paste Wax to help seal, finish, and protect the newly painted surface without darkening the paint. This process creates a very appealing patina that only a chalk-style paint and paste wax combination will achieve.
- Enhances the chalk-style look of your project for a beautiful patina
- Use on wood, glass, ceramic, laminate, metal, etc.
- Chalk-Tique Paste Wax helps protect finish color from sun fade with a UV inhibitor
- Chalk-Tique Paste Wax is available in 2 colors: Light and Dark
|Download Chalk-Tique Product Info Sheet
|View Howard Products Chalk-Tique Gallery
|Visit the Chalk-Tique Blog for some great tips and hints
DirectionsPrior to applying Chalk-Tique Paste Wax, sandpaper can be used to create a distressed look. Use coarser grit for a heavily distressed finish or fine grit for a lightly distressed finish. To ensure your piece looks naturally worn, sand corners and edges first. IMPORTANT: Allow paint to fully dry before distressing and always sand with the wood grain. If you feel you have distressed too much, simply touch up with more Chalk-Tique paint.
- Make sure surface is dry and free of dust or other contamination. To clean, use Clean-A-Finish Wood Soap.
- Using a clean, soft cloth, apply a thin, even coat of Chalk-Tique Paste Wax in a circular motion to a small area at a time.
- Let dry 3-5 minutes, then buff with a clean, soft cloth.
- Turn the cloth frequently for best results.
- Reapply if necessary.

Montana University System Staff Association
Conference call participants included, Julie Strobel and Jane Stuart from MSU-Northern, Darlene Samson from UM-Missoula, and Joan Ford, Jeannette Radcliffe, and Kevin Thane from MSU-Bozeman.
The Board of Regents will be meeting May 27th and 28th in Havre. It was noted that MUSSA members are scheduled for a 7:00 a.m. breakfast meeting with the Regents on Thursday May 27th. As of this conference call Julie, Kevin, Jeannette, and perhaps Jane are planning on attending both the breakfast and the Regents meeting. Kevin encouraged all campuses to participate in the Regents meetings and MUSSA interactions with the Regents.
Conference call participants discussed the domino effect of budget reductions.
MSU Bozeman, MSU Northern, and UM Missoula reported that job vacancies are being reviewed with an eye toward the budget. Some jobs are either not being filled or contracts are not being renewed. All expressed concern that with increased student enrollment there is increased pressure to do more with fewer employees. Job positions with student interface (such as admissions, registrar, financial aid, etc.) are facing situations that are affecting students. Also noted was that the business of the University (such as accounting, custodial services, maintenance, etc.) are also being affected by having fewer employees.
- Admissions materials were sent out late causing the student to choose a different institution.
- An IT person did not have his contract renewed.
- Documents forwarded to a department for approval sat in an inbox for almost three weeks before being processed and forwarded to the Business Office. Resulting in delayed reimbursement.
An issue of growing concern is morale. Morale is more than just a work load issue as it affects retention as well. Employee turnover is costly not just to productivity but also the time to advertise and interview, and the cost of training.
- Turnover has been seen in custodial staff due to morale and work load issues.
- The impact of having fewer employees with more work to do is affecting supervisors who are trying to get more productivity out of their employees. Supervisors are showing signs of stress.
- The Technology Colleges are facing proportionally larger increases in enrollment numbers when compared to the increased enrollment of the four-year institutions. This amplifies the pressures felt by employees at those institutions.
The group suggested that all MUSSA members be contacted to solicit solutions to these work load and morale issues. Kevin will prepare a presentation for the Regents breakfast meeting that will include campuses unable to attend. It was noted that while talking with the Regents at the upcoming breakfast meeting, it would be a good idea to talk about these issues and offer possible solutions.
- Share existing educational resources developed by Human Resources and Wellness with other Montana campuses. Human Resources offer mini seminars and proactive training. Wellness offers stress management classes and web cast programs.
- Extension developed a lecture series offered at MSU Bozeman called "Solid Finances in Shaky Economic Times". Sharing this series with other Montana University System institutions could be helpful.
The group discussed developing a MUSSA Fact Sheet that classified employees could share with Legislative candidates that include talking points regarding what the higher education institutes do for the state and the impacts of reduced educational funding.

Bell Gardens Police Seek Driver In Fatal Hit and Run
By EGP News
Police are asking for the public's help to find the person responsible for a hit-and-run that killed a man in late October.
Bell Gardens Police Capt. Jeff Travis identified the victim as Salvador Lopez, 52, of Maywood.
Lopez was struck on Oct. 21 around 7p.m. as he was crossing the street on the 8300 block of Eastern Avenue. The driver stopped but never exited the vehicle before driving off, said Travis. Lopez was pronounced dead around 2 a.m. the following day.
Travis told EGP an eyewitness described the suspect vehicle as a Nissan Quest minivan with a license plate containing "6K."
No other witnesses have come forward, but Travis told EGP that "Sometimes people talk," adding, "The vehicle may have come home with some damage, so maybe a neighbor would see the damage to a car."
Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call the Bell Gardens Police Department (562) 806-7600.

dlight44:Q. "Could someone explain why the price of OCLI has skyrocketed recently?"A. possibly, though i've been incorrect beforeQ."Is it the planned merger with JDSU?"A. absolutely. jdsu is a dominant player in a cutting edge market (fiber optic systems, the stuff all out 'net and telecom systems run through). telecom stocks and net stocks have been out of sight recently, but they couldn't exist without infrastructure - which is jdsu's bag of candy.Observation: "And even though the price has leapt upward, the volume hasn't been exceptionally large."Speculation: since jdsu and ocli are essentially synonomous, i suspect most people are buying in at the source (ie jdsu). also, late buyers into ocli are not guaranteed jdsu shares - but, having made that cut, i confess i haven't been paying attention to when that date is. if you are contemplating getting in on the action, i'd probably go straight to jdsu.Gratitude:"Thanks."Disclaimer: no problem. just remember cheap free advice is just that.good luckfred"caveman2"
