Still crazy about Commodore 64
Devotees of the seminal Commodore 64 gathered last weekend to praise the majesty of their PCs, poring over manuals and swapping stories
Dec. 4, 2006. 07:24 AM
Dropping his ears close to the motherboard now and then, Greg Nacu fiddles with the guts of his Commodore 64 laptop computer like he's tinkering with the engine of a car.
Once the pride of 1984, the hulking dinosaur lies open on a table in the basement of a west-end church as the 25-year-old hooks it up to an equally archaic 13-inch monitor.
It doesn't work right away.
But that's just fine for Nacu, a computer programmer from Kingston, who's been using this laptop exclusively since he found it hidden under his parent's bed more than a decade ago.
Being able to troubleshoot with ease is one reason he's crazy about his Commodore.
"It's just like a car," the pony-tailed man says, referring to the entire line of primitive, personal computing machines, specifically the suitcase-sized box before him.
"All you have to do is pop `em open and listen. Oh! there's a problem with chip CI #2, so you just slip in another chip — that's the best thing about these computers and it's cool in a geeky sort of way."
More than 75 others share his sentiments.
Their love of the yellowing clunkers is what brought them to Alderwood United Church, near Sherway Gardens mall, last weekend for the World of Commodore 2006 conference.
Coke-bottle glasses, flood-pants and a kind of tech-testosterone were in ample supply at the annual Toronto PET User's Group conference, which draws Commodore 64 fanatics from all over Canada and the U.S. to revel in what is now seen as nascent technology. The Commodore PET, unveiled in 1977, was billed the world's first personal computer. Even so, the Commodores were in production until the early 1990s.
Formed in 1979, TPUG is known as the second-oldest Commodore 64 club around and is dedicated to talking about, playing with and worshipping the computing equivalent of Ford's Model T.
Wearing "I Heart My Commodore Computer" buttons on the left side of their shirts, TPUG members flocked to the event to swap ideas, ancient DOS manuals and obsolete computer parts, such as the floppy disk drive.
Many user group members are more than mere hobbyists.
Leif Bloomquist, 33, has been crazy about Commodores since acquiring his first in 1988.
`I wish Commodore 64 were still alive. The rest of the industry is so boring'
Programmer Greg Nacu
Hovering beside a black screen blinking with a line of fluorescent green text, he says he's here to corroborate with like-minded individuals about a special project — getting Commodore computers to communicate with one another over the Internet.
"I had this idea when I was 15," says Bloomquist, a contractor to the Canadian Space Agency who's involved in writing software for the next Mars mission.
"I can now take what I've learned back to the computer I started with and do all the crazy ideas I had as a kid.
"We can create things now that were impossible 20 years ago."
Some enthusiasts, like Joe Palumbo, prefer to remain in the past. The 39-year-old, who sings the Commodore's praises at every opportunity, remembers fondly when "science fiction came into his home" in the late 1970s.
To this day, he uses a Commodore 64 to run his small business. He sells Commodore parts.
"It was a giant leap," Palumbo says, of owning such a device, "and being able to program it ... I was God." He adds that another advantage of living in this bygone era is that the technology of the best-selling single computer system never changes. About 17 million units were sold.
Erik Kudzin, an electronic technician, who drove in from Chicago to attend, says it's liberating to be freed from the shackles of having to keep up with the latest, increasingly pricey and complicated hardware.
"You can pull your hair out trying to use the computers nowadays," he says, from a room filled with vendors selling past-their-prime games such as Jump Man, old joysticks and even a Commodore 64 in its original 1982 wrapping.
"And, it does what you want. These are from a simpler time."
Waxing nostalgic about his childhood Commodore, Rob Adlers, a Toronto software tester, came to show event-goers that these devices, which long ago joined banana hair clips and Pac Man in the history books, have a purpose in today's world.
He demonstrated how the Commodore's SID (sound interface device) can be used today by DJs looking for the grainy, retro sound only this type of computer can produce.
"It gives them a new life," he says, as a handful of people gather around a small television nearby.
They watch with folded arms as a TPUG member shifts a joystick to make a pixelated man run through a maze. In another part of the room, a computer screen comes to life in front of Nacu, who hopes there will one day be a Commodore renaissance.
"I wish Commodore 64 were still alive," he says, as he types Load "*",8,1 onto the screen — it's the most common first command the defunct computers understand. "The rest of the industry is so boring. The Commodore has personality."

A circle has its ups and downs as it spins around. Biology drives the perception that these ups and downs are truly different. It all begins at the elemental cellular level: neurons flip flop between on (up) and off (down). The billions of neural connections in a complex nervous system make for countless 'not quite up', 'not quite down' areas. Even so, the dividing line is there. The essential role of the Taoist view is to help remove that line from perception.
Doing so is a tall order. Perception lacks impartiality because emotions (feelings) inherently choose sides: attraction vs. aversion, like vs. dislike, happy vs. sad, pleasure vs. pain, win vs. lose. Chapter 1 notes, These two are the same, but diverge in name as they issue forth. Naming things institutionalizes the rift. Alas, the cat is out of the bag because we begin naming things in infancy.
Naming the unknown imparts the security of knowing. Knowing a name, a label, takes the edge off the unknown. Heck! At least we know something. I'll admit I've often thought of this as a false sense of knowing, an illusion. Yet, that's going too far the other way. So, to put it more impartially: Names and words deliver neither true nor false knowing. The degree of truth or falseness lies in the emotions of the believer, whether speaker or listener.
The more important a belief feels, the more misleading it unavoidably becomes. Emotions of need and fear drive our sense of what is important to us. Chapter 64's view, "desiring not to desire", sounds like it could help mitigate this. Most religions push this approach, in one way or another, to counter the negative consequences of desire. Although, while it may be an appealing ideal to many, is it realistic? What really works?
Loosening my mind's grip on words and names is the most useful and essential Taoist secret I've found. It works. It doesn't matter what I think, as long as I remember that I don't know. Chapter 71's, To know yet to think that one does not know is best; is how D.C. Lau put it. The literal is more ruthless and accurate, Realizing I don't' know is better. The literal is closer to D.C. Lau's chapter 10's When your discernment penetrates the four quarters, are you capable of not knowing anything, which agrees with the literal, When understanding reaches its full extent, can you know nothing?

Create Beautiful Mother of Pearl Necklaces
Crafters can make stunning mother of pearl jewelry by placing a pendant made out of this material on a necklace. It is as simple as that, and will only cost a fraction of the pricespspent on a pre-assembled necklace with a mother of pearl pendant. Personally I adore mother of pearl pendants because these sparkle in the sun, and are not pricey like real pearls. Recently I made a necklace with a mother of pearl pendant, which was quite stunning. The mother of pearl pendant has turquoise and silver colors in it, so I choose accent beads that were similar to these hues. The beads I used on my necklace are acrylic, but you can use glass beads if desired. One reason I like acrylic beads is because these are affordable and can be purchased in large quantities. For this necklace I had a pre-assembled beading wire with a magnetic clasp, which makes this an easier necklace to create. All I have to do is twist one end off the magnetic clasp and slip all the beads on to make the necklace. Usually I prefer to make my own necklaces with beading wire and by attaching a clasp with jewelry pliers, but this works fine since I already had the pre-assembled beading wire on hand. Next, I had to create the pattern for my beads, which I did by laying these out on the table first. Some people prefer to design their patterns with a bead board, but I really have never used one. So the supplies you will need for making this necklace consist:
- pre-assembled beading wire with a magnetic clasp
- accent beads
- a mother of pearl pendant
Here Is The Mother of Pearl Necklace
Making The Mother of Pearl Necklace
Do You Like To Make Your Own Jewelry?
If you have never made your own jewelry, it is very easy to start! All you need is a stunning mother of pearl shell pendant, and some cool accent beads. You can even shop online for these supplies.

ACI supports airports stopping transportation of illegal wildlife products
The Airports Council International (ACI) has expressed its commitment of airports joining the effort to stop transportation of illegal wildlife products.
Resolution 3 was approved this week at the 26th Meeting of the ACI World General Assembly expressing ACI's support of the "United for Wildlife Transport Task Force" campaign.
The Resolution follows ACI's signing of the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce Buckingham Palace Declaration on 15 March 2016, committing to supporting the fight against, and the shutting down of the illegal wildlife trade
"ACI's social responsibility goes beyond the impact of aviation on the environment," said Angela Gittens, director general, ACI World. "We are also engaged with the aviation industry against the use of its global connectivity to support the much under reported crime of wildlife trafficking. The Resolution's approval confirms the ACI membership's commitment to the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce Buckingham Palace Declaration signed earlier this year. ACI is dedicated to developing a practical framework towards this goal, including cooperation with international initiatives such as the Reducing Opportunities for Unlawful Transport of Endangered Species (ROUTES) partnership."

It was recently announced that AT&T (NYSE:T) plans to buy DirecTV (NYSE:DTV.DL) for $48.5 million plus the assumption of their debt. As DirecTV's largest shareholder, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A) owns about 34.5 million shares, for which they'll be compensated a total of $95 per share.
They'll receive $28.50 per share in cash, for a total of just under $1 billion, plus the balance $66.50 in AT&T stock, which as of this writing translates to approximately 63.7 million shares worth $2.3 billion. Not a bad return when you consider most of their original investment was acquired for less than $43 per share in 2011.
Whether or not Berkshire will decide to keep its AT&T stake remains to be seen, but whether they sell those shares or not, the one certainty is they will have a new chunk of cash to put to work. Here are a few great values in the market Berkshire could use to fill the void left by DirecTV.

Caring at a Critical Time
This is a cause that's near and dear to my heart, because I work with students like this every day.GIVE NOW
Caring at a Critical TimeNovember 21, 2016
Every MSU student, past or present, regardless of his or her major, remembers something about Finals Week. Some remember watching the sunrise from the 3rd floor of the library or midnight scream or study breaks in the dorm caf.
Erin Romanuk remembers the care packages her parents sent full of goodies that took the sting out of non-stop studying.
Now, she gives to MSU's FAME program every year to help keep her favorite tradition alive for students who need it most. FAME, which stands for Fostering Academics Mentoring Excellence, assembles Finals Week care packages for students who come from foster or kinship care, homelessness, or other out-of-home situations.
"This is a cause that's near and dear to my heart, because I work with students like this every day," Erin says—she is the program manager for attendance and discipline for Seattle Public Schools. "They've overcome so many odds just to get to college, and this is such a great way to support them during Finals Week, when they may not have a support system back home."Lois Furry

Emboldened by a successful sales season last year for its popular Weebots electronic pets, Sharper Image is following up this year with another in-house design, the Q Ball. When shaken, the Q Ball offers 140 different "mystic" answers in 20 voices to the person using it.
Spending on the effort, which includes radio, is estimated at $5.5 million.
Each TV commercial will run on targeted programming. The teen spot, for example, will run on cable's Nickelodeon.
In one commercial, a group of teens pass the Q Ball around while dancing. In another, an executive pondering a decision on the phone at work shakes the Q Ball to get the answer. In the third execution, a Q Ball left on a kitchen counter is picked up by one family member after another seeking "answers" to everyday questions.
The current approach, done in-house, veers sharply from Sharper Image's last concerted ad effort, a sophisticated print campaign in 1996 from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco. One, for night vision glasses, featured an embracing couple.
Started up in 1977 by Richard Thalheimer, Sharper Image built its business by taking the offerings of other manufacturers and selling the gadgets a season or two before they became more readily available to consumers. Some of its products sold for novelty value alone, such as a telephone with a built-in lie detector.
Now the company, which is projecting $300 million in sales this year via its 100 stores, online and catalog operations, is emphasizing its own merchandise.
"We are pushing our own designer products," said Kathryn Grant, Internet media manager.
About 50% of its products are now private-label or designed in-house.
Among them: Weebots, electronic pets that resemble tiny space ships. The original line proved so popular last year that Sharper Image is now extending the franchise with a trio of "PeeWee-Bots" named Twizzer, Zop and Bop.
In a move to boost sales, Sharper Image last year had tinkered with a store redesign intended to provide more of a "retailtainment" venue. The retailer reduced inventory and encouraged customers to come in and play with featured products. It abandoned the approach earlier this year because it failed to lift sales.
Like several other retailers, Sharper Image also is making a concerted push toward global e-tailing, putting in place the means to clear products through

Steve McDermott, European Business Speaker of the Year shares his tops tips to achieving presentation success.
1. Believe
As most people will know, a presentation starts long before you get up to speak but it is amazing how many of us fail to practise what we preach. Mental preparation is at least as important as physical rehearsal. Dont be afraid of making a mistake though, you are only showing that you are human and we all make mistakes. This gets your audience on your side and helps everyone relax.
2. Exit
The most important part of your presentation is the end. Thats what people remember so its no good running out of steam before you get there. When youre preparing, allow enough time to plan a big finish. And deliver it like you mean it.
3. Once upon a time
People like a good story. They want to know what happens next, and if its good, theyll pass it on. That makes personal stories a brilliant device to build in when youre presenting. Its also a useful way of thinking about your presentation as a whole - whats your story and whats its point? Giving real life examples of where your training material has worked will help your audience relate it to their own job.
4. The drill
Speed up, slow down, remember to use pace.
5. The hammer
Theres no point in muttering out a great point, emphasise your words.
6. The touchy feely stuff
According to a study by Birtwhistle and Mahrabian, 38 per cent of communication is tone of voice. Only 7 per cent is what you actually say; 55 per cent is physiology, which is why using your voice and the right body language and props are so important.
7. The right technology
Making a presentation isnt about rushing to PowerPoint and writing thirty slides of text-heavy bullet points. Technology can play a role however, especially if you use it for pictures rather than words.
8. Look whos talking
Presenting is all about being able to get your personality across whether youre in a room with one person, 100 people, or for that matter, several hundred people. Be confident about who you are and let it shine.

In 2008 my friend Maria Haas and I went to Gold Basin. When we were on the way out we stopped by Red Dry Lake for a few hours. We didn't have long because I had to catch a plane in Phoenix later that day. I went into to the dunes on the East end of the lake, and was practically running as time was getting short. Several times Maria yelled at me from the vehicle to "hurry up, let's go!" I'd yell back "just a couple more minutes!" Then it happened, I ran up on this rusty rock just setting there in the sand, then I did the happy dance!
Red Dry Lake 068 The first stone I ever had classified.
The cut surface of RDL 068. For close ups of the interior go to the page "Under The Scope"
I made several trips to Red Dry Lake and found 2 meteorites total.The second one was 2 pieces that fit together.
These tiny piece were too small to have classified.
After a day on Red Dry Lake, Laura heads back to the truck.

Close Companies: Directors: Private Expenses
In close companies, there is a strong possibility that the business will be used to pay private expenses of the owners. Standard Accounts Information forms part of the self-employed pages and the self-employed have to add-back the non-business element of expenses in their return. However, a company as a separate entity from its directors can legitimately pay expenses on their behalf as part of the remuneration package. It is not objectionable for private expenses to be categorised as remuneration provided these expense payments are properly treated in the books and accounting requirements for the disclosure of directors' remuneration are satisfied.
Accounting disclosure requirements for directors' remuneration include sums paid by way of expense allowance and estimated money value of other benefits received other than in cash. The money value is not the same as the taxable amount though this is often used in practice. Thus there is an onus on the director to justify why amounts not disclosed in accounts should be accepted as part of the remuneration package rather than debited to his loan account.
You may encounter a claim that directors' expenses uncovered during an enquiry will be made good by a debit to the loan account. Often though, the benefit is also chargeable as money's worth under ITEPA03/S62 to which making good does not apply. If retrospective making good is sought after the amendment window for the ITSA return for which the benefit arises (and the director's return is not under enquiry) you should make a report with the file to Contact Link.
The resulting benefits should be returned on a P11D by the company and by the directors on their returns. Liability to National Insurance Contributions (NICs) on the company as well as Employment Income Tax liability on the director arises since 2000/2001 on practically all benefits. Guidance on the Employer Compliance aspects is at EM8250. Where expenses are not part of the remuneration package these must be debited to the director's loan account.
In practice there are rarely precisely defined contracts between directors and their close companies. Moreover, it is widely accepted behaviour among close company directors to draw on the company bank account for certain expenses. These are often not distinguished, or can be mis-described, in order that the company's auditor or accountant and you will not discover them. You should therefore always check directors' private expenditure when undertaking a close company full enquiry. When opening the enquiry details of what has been charged to loan account should be requested. Unless these and the expenses returned on P11Ds appear comprehensive, you should include in your records examination a check to see what might not have been dealt with correctly.

POMPANO BEACH -- City commissioners agreed Tuesday to pay $12,000 to a law firm to try to iron out the wrinkles in the relationship between the city, the Federal Aviation Administration and James Brettman.
Brettman first tried seven years ago to establish an airport service business at the city`s municipal airport. When the city offered Brettman a lease that differed from that of the current fixed-base operator, the FAA hauled the city into court.
A Broward circuit judge ruled in Brettman`s favor last November, and ordered the city to issue Brettman a lease ``substantially equal`` to that of fixed-base operator Brian Becker.
Brettman said the city is prejudiced against him, while city officials say that is nonsense.
After years of disagreement, City Attorney Donald Roberge said Tuesday that FAA officials are satisfied with the city`s most recent lease offer to Brettman.
But commissioners say words are not enough. They want a written agreement.
The Washington-based law firm of Eckert, Seamans, Cherin and Mellott was hired in July for $5,000 to do battle with Brettman`s attorney, Judith Hope, the daughter-in-law of comedian Bob Hope. The firm now has been charged with getting the words of FAA officials in writing, commissioners said.

Gioia and Wood
Dear Dana Gioia,
So, we agree on W.S. Merwin's book: No good. And John Hollander's: Not good enough. And now our little antiphon of agreement continues with Philip Levine: No good at all.
I am a critic of fiction, largely, and so I come to some of these poets for the first time: and their badness deflowers me. I had never read a word by Philip Levine until I picked up this new book, and it was a shock to see Levine's earlier work bathed in blurbs from Harold Bloom and the like. (A quick note on Bloom. A great critic, I think, with absolutely no taste in poetry. Why should I believe any praise by a critic of poetry who fails to see anything remarkable in T.S. Eliot, Philip Larkin, and Robert Lowell? I mean, it's one thing to praise John Ashbery's 540th book, or whatever it is, but to do this while simultaneously excluding Lowell and Berryman from his favored account of post-war American poetry? He's simply not trustworthy. Do you recall Frank Kermode's deliciously mild rejoinder, in that book of interviews with literary theorists by Imre Salusinszky? The interviewer says to Kermode: "Bloom dismisses Larkin, but at least Bloom has read him." And Kermode replies: "Well, he may not have read him. It seems to me that anybody that knows about poetry cannot really read Larkin and dismiss him.")
Anyway, Bloom aside, Levine's poetry deserves no friends. For one thing, it isn't poetry. He selects a dismal memory of his early life in Detroit, stumbles across the most obvious words, and then shuffles it into broken lines. But it has no meter, no pressure, no grasp of what line-breaks exist for, and no extravagance. It's the opposite of Keats' "fine excess;" it's a blank minimum. Even as prose it would be dull. Every so often, he seems to recognize his own inadequacy as a writer, and then tries to make an awkward joke about it:
Hungry and cold, I stood in a doorway
On Delancey Street in 1946
As the rain came down. The worst part is this
Is not from a bad movie.
Later in the same poem, called "Once," in which he calls himself "a kid from a small town with big ideas" (how did his editor let this stuff see the light of day?), he writes:
Gatsby said if Detroit is your idea
Of a small town you need another idea,
And I needed several.
How true! Alas, he doesn't have several. In poem after poem, he rolls out the same muddy carpet of flat prose broken into entirely arbitrary lines and gray adjectives and adverbs:
I lived alone in a one-room,
Walk-up apartment across
From the Catholic seminary
On Lawton.
I think that Levine could return again and again to this material with impunity if he were a better poet. In fiction, Bellow has described and redescribed Chicago, with streaming radiance. But then, when Bellow describes a man's foot, say, he sees the toes "pressed together like Smyrna figs." Levine sees waitresses who "flirted shamelessly." Always the most obvious word, the most obvious detail. Ugh.
Now: What on earth--or in heaven--is one to make of the angelic and tweetering Virginia Hamilton Adair, and her bare ruined choirs? You are right that she seems to have been writing poetry in a strange parallel universe of her own. But, alas, it's not an appealing universe is it? There are perhaps three pleasant, slight, stripped poems in her new book, Beliefs and Blasphemies. The rest is a dreadful confection of religious sentimentality and cozy homilies. It's an insult to both believers and blasphemers to give this book the title it has. Adair's blasphemy is babyish; and her belief is simply infantile. Her idea of formalism seems to be that poetry rhymes, preferably in AABBCC lockstep. Apart from her rhyming, and a certain commitment in the early poems to blank verse, her poetry has no other very remarkable formal pressure: The lines are flat, the language is a peaceable ghost.
And the thought, the thought! Her sentimentality and Christian whimsy gum her poems with syrup. Take "Timing," which I quote in its entirety:
How can we say "I'm sorry" to the dead?
Say it to God and hope he'll pass it on?
Perhaps it's best to get the "sorry" said
Before the injured ones are dead and gone.
Did I read this on a page of paper in a book, or was that paper made of card--Hallmark card? This kind of feeble-mindedness makes one wish that Auden were alive, so that he might bitchily review it. Or take this, "Saving the Songs," again quoted in its entirety:
Said Luther of the singing in saloons,
"Why should the devil have the choicest tunes?"
He therefore, unless history is a liar,
Moved the best tunes from taproom into choir,
Though some are shocked, the controversy dims
When all the world sings lusty Lutheran hymns.
God's in His heaven, Christmas cheer in barrels,
And 'round the world, the lovely Lutheran carols.
I would like to report that Adair intends this poem ironically, but I fear not. Adair writes ditties, not poems. Even her longer things, such as "If and What," are ruined by a sentimentality that reduces Christianity to what she calls "Having tea with God, companionable." Now, I was brought up in a sternly evangelical household, in England, and I have a hostility to organized Christianity that perhaps renders me a prejudiced reader of Christian poetry. I love George Herbert, for instance, but those moments when Herbert eventually bows his head and surrenders, generally at the close of the poem, somewhat sicken me. Yet Adair's failures are not just at the level of her thought, which is null, but at the level of the literary. Eliot showed, in "The Journey of the Magi," that fine, devout poetry can be written. But Adair is not devout; she is trivial. Her kind of belief gives belief a bad name. Take the end of her poem "His Mother," for instance, in which she imagines the Virgin Mary as an ordinary Mom who sees her son die on the cross, and then goes home to give the disciple John his tea. Adair's last verse imagines Mary talking about Jesus:
Her most difficult kid,
she always said,
but what a darling!
Something about him too good
For this lousy world.
Don't forget him. Don't forget my boy--
His beautiful voice
saying those strange things.
He could be right, you know,
in the long run.
Yesterday, we measured the gap between George Herbert and John Hollander. Today, we are suspended across the gigantic chasm that separates Donne's "Batter my heart, three-person'd God" and "but what a darling!" Jeez ... I need a bath in impurity.
Yours sincerely,
James Wood

Illegal dumping costing council thousands of euro
Increasing levels of illegal dumping along one of Longford town's most scenic walkways is costing Longford County Council thousands of euro each year.
Over the past 12 months alone, close to four tonnes of rubbish were retrieved along the route known locally as the 'Ferafad Walk'.
In monetary terms, that translated to more than €3,000 to date. Now there are fears that the cost of clearing the area may spiral if the current rate of dumping continues .
"There's been an awful lot of illegal dumping that's taken place down there over the last month,†conceded the Council's Environmental Awareness Officer, Gary Brady.
The walk, which spans the best part of 6km, linking Ferafad to Stonepark, is widely viewed as being one of Longford town's most idyllic passageways.
Due to its remote location and its close proximity to surrounding bogland, CCTV is now operational in the area.
In spite of those measures, fly-tipping remains a clear and pressing problem.
"We (Council) have spent a lot of money tidying it up,†continued Mr Brady.
"But it seems to have gotten particularly bad over the past couple of weeks.â€
Mr Brady put the recent upsurge in illegal dumping down to the blatant refusal of some to take responsibilty for their rubbish.
"It's laziness really,†he implied, before adding a further clean-up operation had been planned for the coming days.
"You would come across buggies, mattresses, household waste really.
"Ninety per cent of the items we find are actually recycable.
"And when you consider things, it's actually costing people more money to drive out to the bog rather than recycle it properly.â€
Mr Brady said the Council remained fully intent on ensuring genuine users of the walkway were not put off by the goings on of recent weeks.
Fines have and still remained a viable option to the council, he said, as he implored members of the public to play their part in reporting any illegal activity.
"It's a very scenic walk and lots of different people use it, so yes, we would like to keep it that way,†he said.
Mr Brady added that reports of fly-tipping and illegal dumping can be made by contacting Longford County Council's Environment Section at (043) 3343367.

Storm tropical beaches and stab kamikaze soldiers in the neck, with Call of Duty 5: World at War, available from ShopTo for just £25.99!
According to a price-comparison, ShopTo's deal for Call of Duty 5: World at War is the cheapest offer available! It sold millions upon release, but World at War divided critics, some confused with the abrupt return to WW2, others revelling in the spectacular set-pieces and rewarding multiplayer. It averaged an 85/100 on MetaCritic, with GameChronicles remarking "a shooter so satisfying and complete you won't care what war it is you're fighting".
World at War returns the Call of Duty series to its WW2 roots, following the fourth installment's modern setting. As per usual, you command two soldiers from different countries; a US Marine deployed to Japan, and an infantryman from the Soviet Red Army. The Marine's story, in particular, is compelling, as the Pacific Theatre is a relatively fresh experience, with the tropical vistas and kamikaze ambushes a far cry from the cobbled roads and industrial buildings so prevalent in most WW2 games.
Call of Duty is renowned for its multiplayer, which averages millions of users each and every day. It's an established system now, with you deployed into a variety of matches, from free-for-alls to more tactical affairs. Every kill, successful objective or completed challenge earns you experience, upgrading your character's skills and broadening his weapon arsenal. World at War also featured a co-operative campaign, with teams of four able to do battle with the Empire of Japan.
UPDATE: Too late – you were too slow and missed this hot deal! Why not subscribe to our email updates or RSS feeds to make sure that doesn't happen again?

Good quality taps, arrived later than scheduled, but well packed.
Arrived on time very nice tap for the money, very soft operation, very easy to fit it took me ten minutes and it was working great.Allthe parts fitted well together and with the basin looks fab. well worth the money.
I was looking for a basin tap that would suit a sink that has a traditional but modern feel and after looking at hundreds of taps that at least cost 50% more I found these. I was thinking that for the price they might look a bit "cheap" and would be light and flimsy but they are fantastic. Very happy with my find!

I used to be like that but mine stems back from when my ex used to beat me. I was scared of what he was going to do and had P/A hyperventilated and kicked my legs , waved my arms , flailed around and screamed as much as I could to keep him away from me. So even when I wasn't with him anymore my panic attacks put my brain in mind of protecting me so I would still lash out even if no-one was trying to hurt me (if you get what I mean?). I don't do this anymore as I realise I am not going to get hurt - I know there is no reason for my fear so I try and deal with it best I can. When I think that I have upset someone that I love I go for myself - will not say how as there is no need - and feel unworthy , suicidal etc... and I think that stems from abuse aswell , I used to get told that I wasn't good enough etc.... and thats ingrained in my head now - I feel apologetic all the time when I needn't be ,I feel smaller than everyone else.
Well I hope this answers your question , think I might have let a little more out than I intended about me but I'm gonna post this anyway.
Take care

It's July 9, and there's no email in your usually frenetic Web-based inbox. Your friends on Facebook and Twitter have fallen silent. Searches are fruitless, and the music has stopped on Pandora and Spotify. Your convenient home office setup has been reduced to the small screen of your smartphone.
Not exactly a digital doomsday scenario. But, you could be cut off from the wealth of information, productivity and community of the Web if you are one of the 300,000 Windows users affected by malware that surreptitiously redirected your Internet excursions.
Relax. It affects only a small number of the millions of Internet users in the U.S. But if it affects you, you'll probably feel isolated from the connected world you've become accustomed to.
A sophisticated online fraud scheme infected more than 4 million computers in more than 100 countries with malware that hijacked computers to redirect them to sites that enabled the scammers who were driving the scheme to be paid for every click and visit, according to the to the FBI.

On suspicion of illegal entry into the ports of the annexed Crimea, the State Border Service of Ukraine has brought to justice around 38 ship crews, according to the SBSU's website.
The violators have brought to justice thanks to round the clock surface monitoring by specialists of the Main Control Center of the State Border Service of Ukraine.
"With the help of data provided by the system, it's possible to determine the type of vessels, home port, flag, place of last port call, the approximate time of arrival at the next port, and traffic route," says the report.
As noted, the ships have been charged with nearly UAH 240 thousand.
One of the important functions of the operational control division of the SBSU Marine Protection Service, monitoring the situation on the maritime borders of Ukraine, is to maintain information exchange with the border services of the coastal states. This refers to vessels which are under suspicion or have dangerous cargo.
Due to innovative developments, the border department has started the implementation of the wireless communication system to communicate with ship and boat teams carrying out their mission in the sea. This system ensures stable communication channel that opens up the possibility of video conferencing between any control link and the commander of the ship, as well as allows creating a system for visual observation of the situation both on the ship and its perimeter, which makes it possible to avoid the admission of unreliable data on the situation.

Cluttering up your copy with jargon and trite phrases weakens your message.
Effective content means your message is heard loud and clear. Overused jargon and big words cloud your message and "corporate speak" — writing that throws around important sounding phrases with little or no meaning.
Below are seven examples of phrases and words that decrease your content's value — are you guilty of using these?
See also: The 5 Most Valuable Metrics in Content Marketing
1. We Are the Best
Why it's weak: Saying "we are the best" doesn't do a lot of convincing. It is lazy writing that says nothing.
Instead: Don't brag about your company, actually show people why it is the best (see also: Write Wisely: Word Choice and Impact). For example, turn "We are the dry cleaning company" to "Our dry cleaning service removes 49 percent more stains than our competitors does."
2. Solid Track Record
Why it's weak: Telling potential customers you have a "solid track record" doesn't mean anything. It's totally subjective — no better than saying "we are the best."
Instead: Don't advertise your "solid track record, " show people your company's success by specifying your companies' benefits, like, "companies that have used our product have increased sales by 93 percent."
See also: 4 Reasons Why BuzzFeed Makes You Click on Their Super Awesome Articles
3. Due to the Fact
Why it's weak: Valuable content is concise and easy to read (see also: 8 Key Qualities of Excellent Web Copy). Adding complexity for the sake of sounding professional makes people have to read twice to understand you. And that's assuming they'll have the patience to read clunky text a second time. Phrases like "due to the fact" and "whether or not" uses a lot of words to say "because" or "whether," respectively.
Instead: Simplify. It's way easier to understand "because every product goes through rigorous testing" than "due to the fact that every product goes through rigorous testing."
4. Each and Every
Why it's weak: Written words and words in writing shouldn't be redundant. Oh wait, was that sentence redundant?
Yes it was.
You wouldn't say the same thing twice in a sentence? Most do this without realizing it. Take "each and every" together for example.
Instead: Cut out the redundancy and say either "each" or "every," but not both.
See also: How to Measure the ROI of Your Blog Content
5. Think Outside the Box
Why it's weak: Cliches like "think outside the box" are so common and unremarkable that they'll pass through your readers' minds without making an impact. What box are you even thinking outside of anyway? Why is thinking outside the box an inherently good thing?
Instead: Don't tell your audience to "think outside the box," show them how your company is different.
6. Win-Win
Why it's weak: It's another useless cliche. People are immune to overused jargon — they know instantly it's meaningless. Instead of building trust, "win-win" makes people think of a dishonest salesperson.
Instead: Clearly describe what your product or service offers, enabling readers to come to their own conclusion.
Take a look at your content. Does it communicate meaning, or does it sound too familiar? Get rid of useless terms, unnecessary words and overused phrases. Replace that with clear wording that tells your target reader what your company, product or service is really about.

You all know my dear friend Elizabeth ~98 years young. With graduations, doctor appointments and general busyness, I hadn't had a chance to visit her for almost a month. So today I decided I would just take off and make a day of visiting her and running a few errands on that side of L.A. (She is such a sweetheart and looked so pretty in her pink blouse)
She has such a good memory and loves to tell me stories. She's quite the "pack rat" (I say that nicely) so today she share with an invitation dated 1937 in Hungarian. She explained it was a Hungarian Ball. That is where she's from. It listed the menu of stuffed cabbage, and other delicacies. It was held after the grape harvest and bunches and bunches of grapes were hanging from the ceiling. Sometime during the ball, the lights were turned off and you could keep as many bunches as you could grab in the dark. Doesn't that sound like a fun time??
When we lived in Sunland we enjoyed Guido's Combination Pizza almost every Friday night. I had this idea since I was going right by it on my way home from my visit with Elizabeth to pick up one and surprise my dearest.
It was torture driving 45 minutes with it sitting in the back seat and the aroma kept tickling my nose. More that once I almost pulled off the road and had a piece. But I held off, and we enjoyed it so much. Not much leftover....but then it's been a long long time since we've had Guido's.
How was your Saturday?

Apple may have foiled Amazon's plans for a fall tablet release by sucking the display ecosystem dry of the 1.5-2mm touch panel's they are after. Amazon was planning on shipping the "Hollywood" and "Coyote" which are expected to offer ereading and media streaming as well as internet services – expected in September. Their target was four million devices to ship before the year is out however, some suppliers have expressed doubts that they could accommodate the scale of Amazon's demand.
Apple is already partnered with Wintek who has apparently warned that its production schedule is closing up for the latter half of 2011, and that it "may be difficult" to satisfy potential Amazon sales as well. TPK who also currently supplied the iPad have supposedly been reluctant to commit to Amazon's supply contracts, again based on capacity.
If Amazon switched to glass they would be able to get their quota's met, gorrila glass would be an upgrade but might bump the price of the tablet up a little too high.
Display has always been a hot topic, since they are one of the best ways to tell exactly how many units have shipped. They have also been a component often in the news causing product delay's, remember RIM's Playbook month long delay also thanks to a touchscreen shortage.

The BFI London IMAX Cinema has now taken £636,228 in ticket sales for the 3D version of Tom Hanks's Christmas animated film The Polar Express.
Due to continuing public demand, with 65,000 tickets now sold since 3 December, the film's run on the South Bank has been extended for the fourth time to 13 March.
The cinema recorded its highest ever number of admissions for one month in its 5 year history during December 2004, with almost 52,000 people through the doors, over 40,000 of whom came to see The Polar Express. In a 12-day stretch before and after Christmas Day, all 40 performances of the film were completely sold out.
Following the success of IMAX DMR films such as The Matrix Reloaded and Spider-Man 2, Warner Bros. Pictures' The Polar Express was the first Hollywood movie to be digitally re-mastered into an IMAX 3D Experience. The IMAX DMR process re-masters 35mm live-action films into 15/70 film format, enhancing the image and sound for projection onto the giant screen with perfect picture quality and 12,000 watts of digital sound. IMAX Corporation has confirmed that the next two Hollywood features to undergo the DMR process are the animated adventure Robots, due to open in March and Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory due for a summer release – albeit in 2D.
"We're now in talks with several distributors regarding major new films for 2005," said Jim Hamilton, Head of BFI Exhibition. "Our phenomenal success with Polar Express, much of which was generated from word-of-mouth, has shown how much cinema audiences love the giant screen and the big effects experience. We've even had people coming back to see it for the second and third time. Now that IMAX DMR has proved its appeal, this looks like being a really exciting year for big screen fans."
Customers are still advised to book in advance for weekend performances of The Polar Express. Bookings can be made in person at the box office, by telephone on 0870 787 2525 or online.

Unleaded self-serve sells for $1.49 a gallon at station on Central near McCord.
Allan Detrich / blade Enlarge
Tumbling world crude-oil prices are showing up at Toledo-area gasoline pumps, where prices yesterday were as low as they've been since late February.
"I love it," said Jason Thomas of Toledo after filling up his car with $1.479-a-gallon regular at the Shell station at Alexis Road and Lewis Avenue yesterday afternoon. "Keep on comin' down. I hope it's 99 cents by the end of the year." That might be a bit much to ask.
A Web site that tracks local gas prices in real-time nationwide showed that Toledo's average prices yesterday morning were more than 35 cents a gallon cheaper than they were on Thanksgiving and nearly 20 cents cheaper than they were just a week ago.
John Cogan, a spokesman for the federal Energy Information Administration, said the "biggest single factor" in declining pump prices is the price of crude, which went as high as $55.17 a barrel in late October but has fallen into the low $40s this week.
Mike Burdette, a senior analyst at the agency, said the crude price decline equals about 34 cents a gallon, and "all other things being equal, most of that should show up at the pump."
How long the price break will last is uncertain.
While the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries agreed yesterday to cut production by 1 million barrels a day starting next month, the price of crude declined yesterday to
$40.71 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange - a four-month low - after bouncing upward for several days before the announcement.
Mr. Burdette said the crude price rebound occurred before OPEC ministers met because market players expected the cartel to announce a production cut. He said he was "a little surprised" that it went back down yesterday but predicted "a really rapid decline" in retail prices nationwide over the next couple of weeks.
As of Monday, the national average reported by the Oil Price Information Service in Wall, N.J., was $1.911 a gallon, while the Midwestern average was $1.832.
Market anticipation has been a factor in gasoline price changes throughout the year, according to an Ohio Price Information Service analysis. Low inventories and supply concerns triggered rising prices early this year, while fears about potential supply disruption in Iraq, Nigeria, Venezuela, Russia, and the Gulf of Mexico affected the market later on.
Yesterday's mercantile exchange closing price for U.S. crude futures was $1.82, or 4.3 percent, lower than Thursday's, and marked the first time U.S. crude ended a day below $41 since July 21. Al Younes, the owner of the Shell at Laskey and Alexis, said he lowered his prices because the wholesale price he pays went down 20 cents over the previous 10 days, and competitors were lowering their prices too. "It's been very crazy for the last five or six days," he said. "I want to be competitive on the street."
"It's a lot better than it was," said Domenic Maviglia of Monroe, who stopped at Mr. Younes' station on his way home to fill up with gas cheaper than he expected to find in Michigan.
The lower price was a pleasant surprise for Luanna Urbanski of Toledo, who pulled into the BP across the corner. She said she hadn't even looked at the signs because her tank was nearly empty and she just needed gas.
"It works for me," she said.
