Throughout 2012 I'll be working with Pecha Kucha Nights in Aalborg and Pecha Kucha events in Northern Jutland. It'll be the 7th and 8th Pecha Kucha event in Aalborg and about 60 people have already presented ideas and projects around town. The dates are March 6 and June 12, both events will be at Huset in Hasserisgade and we're looking for participants. Only a few more needed to fill the slots for March 6h, but there's still plenty of room for presenters for June 12. Both Danish and English speaking presenters are welcome.
You can read more about the Pecha Kucha presentation format at the official website and more specifically about the Aalborg events at Huset's website.
Pecha Kucha in Northern Jutland
Besides the two Pecha Kucha Nights in Aalborg, I'll also be helping out and documenting a tour of Pecha Kucha events throughout the northern part of Jutland. Huset's Pecha Kucha organiser, Annette Scheibel, is the main coordinator of this tour and I'll tag along with my camera.
So far the following dates are in place:
- March 14 at Café Bio in Lønstrup
- April 17 at Kinorevyen in Skørping
- May 23 at Mygdalhus in Mygdal
I'll update the list as more dates are added. We hope there's enough support around Northern Jutland for about 8-10 events in 2012.
Your help is needed
If you want to present at any of these events (in Aalborg or around Northern Jutland – or both) please let me know! We are also looking for people to help organising Pecha Kucha events in their local communities throughout Northern Jutland. In any case, please get in touch.
Looking forward to seeing you out there!

I had a great big dopp kit. It was great for bringing on longer trips, however was a bit big for the weekend trip. I bought this for a weekend toiletries kit.
This is fantastic for that. Its well built, and just about the right size. (I had to acquire a shaving cream that's rub on as the shaving brush and soap just didn't fit with everything else.)
After misplacing my passport (didn't lose it just forgot I packed it). I realized I needed a pouch for travel. This is the perfect size and the lining is awesome.
High quality fabric, durable lining make for a great carry-all that holds all of you everyday needs. Also one small bonus is that the zipper does not stick! Wish they came in different colors!!!
While a little on the pricey side, I wasn't at all disappointed with this pouch.
The inside is fully lined with a rubber coating, making it extremely useful and diverse - whatever you put in it, it's so easy to clean out in case of liquid or powder leakage. It is also extremely sturdy.

Federal officials said late last spring that they were tentatively scheduling an informational meeting concerning the matter in August. But it remains unclear whether any such meeting has occurred, though federal officials have reported that they are still planning a public meeting concerning land leases and drilling in the forest.
Keith Johnston, managing attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, said the meeting may occur this fall. The Law Center, which works to protect the environment in the Southeast, has been tracking the development of the proposed land lease sales in the forest.
"We haven't received an official word yet but we've heard that they've moved it to November," Johnston said.
Attempts to confirm that with Steve Lohr, director of the U.S. Forest Service for Alabama, weren't successful late last week.
Lohr was a few miles outside of Sylacauga Friday for a work day in the Talladega National Forest. Lohr declined to take a reporter's phone call; another official said she could not confirm the meeting's date but added that a media advisory may be issued as soon as this week providing more information.
Members of the community were caught off guard in April when the Bureau of Land Management, an agency that manages public lands in the United States, and the U.S. Forest Service announced that the drilling rights to 43,000 acres of land parcels in the Talladega National Forest were to be auctioned off.
Following protest from environmental groups and local residents – and a letter from U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Saks, asking officials to allow more time for public input – the agencies announced in June that the leases would be postponed. In a press release issued at the time, the agencies said the delay was to "allow for additional public engagement, including public informational meetings."
Calhoun County Commissioner Tim Hodges has been fielding questions from his constituents about drilling in the forest for months, but he hasn't been able to offer many answers.
"I haven't been able to give them a lot of information because I haven't been able to get a lot of information," Hodges said.
But it isn't because he hasn't tried, Hodges said. Three times he's attempted to contact federal officials on the matter, and three times he's been unsuccessful, he said. Federal officials he's tried to contact, Hodges said, have been unresponsive.
Hodges said he thinks that drilling in the Talladega National Forest, which could involve the controversial hydraulic fracturing method, has the potential to affect his constituents more than residents in other districts in the county. Portions of the forest cover Calhoun County's District 2, which he represents.
He said residents should have more information sooner about how land lease sales and drilling could affect the forest.
The federal agencies' websites both acknowledge that a meeting will occur, but as late as Friday, neither provided a date or a location for a public meeting on the matter. Despite reaching out to the federal officials by phone and by email, Hodges has yet to receive a reply, he said.
Environmental advocates and some local residents are concerned about what would happen to the environment if the land leases move forward and if hydraulic fracturing is used.
Hydraulic fracturing is a technique in which millions of gallons of water and chemicals are injected underground to fracture porous rock and release natural gas trapped within. Some believe the technique can have harmful effects on groundwater.
"I know how I feel about it and I know how the people in my district feel about it and I want everyone to know that to me, it's a major concern and I think we need to do everything we can to not have fracturing," Hodges said. "That's going to take the community getting together, but we all have to be on the same page."

I've dated mostly clean shaven guys. Closest I've come is one that has a 'stash, but it suits his face and he has soft/fine hair so it's actually pretty nice.
Current is clean shaven mostly because his beard is much more grey than his head hair. And I'm cool with that. :D
I just got an old Gillette safety razor and started using it for the areas of my face where I do shave.
I like it. 10 blades were $1.97.
Trimmed the stache a little. I now have what is basically the same style as Charles DeGaulle:

Honestly, OP is looking at a Macbook.
I dunno man, it's pretty awesome when you can take something more powerful than an Xbox and PS3 combined with you and play whenever. Nadda mean, bruh? I mean, if you dig the stationary stuff, cool. I like laptops, cause there's a 85% larger chance single components won't die off.
I've had desktops in the past, the harddrives end up burning out, or the MOBO gives out, or something else gives a shit. I've had about 4 laptops in recent years, only thing that dies is the battery pack, and even then I just keep em plugged up. Though they are dated quickly, which is why you pay more, so you're assured you're future proofed for a bit. I don't see any games taking full optimized advantage of DX11 any time soon. DX11 is meant to make games look better, and run faster, but atm you got games like Metro 2033, Red Faction: Armageddon, Crysis2, etc. And they all get a massive FPS hit.
So until that happens, if you pay more for a gaming laptop, you're effectively future-proofed for a few years at least.
But I'm talking about in the gaming sense. I'm a gamer, so I mean... of course I'm gonna pay more for a good piece of hardware.
edit: You get what you pay for. That sums it all up.
Honestly, OP is looking at a Macbook.
Well, your best bet is a computer that will be good for 3d rendering as they are surely to work well with games as well. They practically have the same requirements and will most likely work to your advantage as you are inclined to do some GIMP work on it as well.
The newer ivy bridge modules are slated to roll out in a few months so that would be something that you would probably want to wait for.
Just had my laptop melt on me for the dozenth time and I thought I'd drop you a peice of advice; Some high spec laptops do come with their own problems. Heating, in the case of the said HP Pavillion. T'was a very nice old warhorse, but it was on it's fourth power adapter before the CPU finally toasted last week.
So yeah, there is nothing wrong with going "middle of the range", if affordability and reliability is what you are after. Avoiding touch screen computers or things with Vista software is always a good idea if cheap performance is what you are after, too.

Energy efficient. Water efficient. cleaning efficient. So you're efficient.
Hobart's advanced Opti-Rinse technology is the industry's most advanced water- and energy-saving rinse system. Opti-Rinse technology creates a strong and powerful spray by forming an S-shaped pattern across the surface of the ware. The pattern means a saving of more than 50% in water and energy, and even helps you save additional money by reducing the size of the booster heater required.
Depending on the size of the operation and number of hours the machine is used, this can add up to an average annual saving of $7,685 to upwards of $15,000.
Operating Cost Comparison - Annual Savings of $7,685
(10 hours per day; 70% of the time)
Opti-Rinse means bigger drops. Bigger is better because bigger drops transfer heat more efficiently to the ware. The result: completely sanitized, sparkling-clean ware.
Designed for efficiency from the inside out. The FT900D and the FT900SD have the lowest water consumption in the industry. The FT900 dishwasher maximizes efficiency and minimizes waste in almost every detail. Hobart's cascading water system conserves energy and water by replenishing each tank with the heated water from the adjacent tank, as it moves through the machine from the rinse to prewash area.
Meanwhile, our exclusive soil-management system results in fewer tank fills, which reduces water, detergent and energy use. Sloping screens and deep collection baskets work together to suspend food soil and keep it out of the tanks.
Additional features save more water and energy:
Multi-layer curtains separate wash and rinse zones to reduce carryover of water and control air movement to help keep proper operating temperatures.When activated, the Dish Limit feature stops rinse water flow and alerts the operator to unload the ware.When no ware is detected, electronic sensors automatically initiate an energy-saving idle mode.Insulated chamber and doors help hold heat for greater energy efficiency.
Harness existing heat while significantly reducing energy consumption. Even if you serve more and more people each day, you can cut down on the energy it takes to clean up after them. Hobart's optional Energy Recovery system can reduce the FT900 dishwasher's energy consumption by as much as 16% or $3,200 a year.
Energy required to heat entire machine
The Energy Recovery system achieves this saving by taking advantage of the heat energy that the machine already generates—heat that would otherwise simply be vented outside, and recycles it to preheat the incoming water supply to the booster heater.
The Energy Recovery system allows operation using a cold water supply for the final rinse with temperatures as low as 55°F/10°C.
A commercial dishwasher that's built to last because the dishes never end. Like all Hobart products, the FT900 flight-type dishwasher is designed to help you achieve the highest return on your equipment investment over its entire life cycle.
The longer life starts with a heavy-gauge, stainless steel frame, combined with the FT900's heavy-duty rolled hem rail, which together add greater strength and structural integrity, plus superior support for the flight belt.
The doors and chamber are insulated, double-wall, stainless steel construction, and the doors are hung on heavy-duty stainless steel brackets designed to stand up to the kind of daily use and abuse kitchen equipment can suffer.
The stainless steel drawn tanks minimize the number of welded seams, and all pumps and impellers are stainless steel, further adding to the FT900's durability.
Features that increase peace of mind. A variety of features helps ensure that the FT900 is reliable and hard-working. Totally enclosed, fan-cooled motors are equipped with inherent overload protection for longer life. Corded and cabled, prewired connections reduce the potential for water and moisture damage. The control panel is water resistant for added reliability. Low-water sensors for the power wash and power rinse tanks protect the heating elements.
In a busy kitchen, every time-saver is a benefit. These FT900's save you time and increase your peace of mind.
The digital control panel provides the operator with crucial information at a glance, such as machine status and temperatures. So whether it's an operational indicator (the machine is filling with water) or an alert (a door is open), little troubleshooting is required.
Efficiency from every angle. Conveyor start-and-stop controls are located for easy access at the load, unload and the center of the machine. And the wash arm design makes correct installation simple, allowing for proper machine operation.
Lightening the load on your operators. The FT900 helps the operator work more efficiently, too. Ergonomic platform heights for staging ware at both ends of the machine minimize reaching, letting operators load and unload with ease.
With the FT900, you can also match the dishwasher's speed to the type of residue on the ware.
Speed it up or slow it down—an adjustable conveyor speed of 4 to 8.5 FPM (depending on model) lets you adjust to the type of ware, soiled condition or workforce requirements. So more lightly soiled ware can be cleaned in less time, while more time can be taken with heavily soiled ware.
Easy to work with before you even turn it on. Professional installation sets the tone for years of easy operation. Our factory-trained service team provides the basic assembly. The modular design of the FT900 means the unit installs quickly and reliably. Corded and cabled prewired connections simplify installation and minimize the need for service. Single-point ventilation reduces the number of connections, saving time and installation expense.
Fast, reliable service. The Hobart FT900 Flight-Type Dishwasher comes with a comprehensive one-year warranty on parts and labor. Hobart's factory-trained service team—1,700 professionals strong—is by far the largest and most experienced of any manufacturer in the industry. And when you select Hobart Service for your installation, you'll receive an extra six months of warranty coverage. Extended service plans and complete turnkey installations are also available.
We designed the FT900 with easy access and thoughtful construction to keep cleaning time to a minimum.
Lift-off panels throughout the machine provide greater access to clean under and around the conveyor, as well as maintain the machine.
Large, hinged doors provide operators greater access to the interior. The smooth surface of the fully enclosed back panels and the rear manifold design create an obstruction-free interior for quick cleanup between shifts.
To reduce debris on the load platform, our exclusive, removable flush arm rinses food scraps from the loading section into the prewash area scrap basket. The stainless steel debossed wash arm manifolds are easy to remove, clean and replace. And our drawn tanks with coved corners and a limited number of welded seams make them easier to clean for optimum efficiency and labor savings.
Fewer parts mean less to maintain. Instead of multiple screens and scrap baskets, each tank is fitted with just one flat screen and one scrap basket. This makes for quicker and more efficient breakdown and cleaning, and it saves the operator a great amount of time.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Printed Cotton Knit Dress with V-Neck and Shoulder Ties …
"I bought this dress for myself in the coral color because it looked stylish and looked like something I could wear outside when it was warm or humid. I'm not usually comfortable wearing dresses unless I'm also wearing pantyhose, but I wanted something that moved with me and didn't constrict and this dress fit the bill. It also didn't look like a nightgown. I was very happy with it and received some nice compliments when I wore it. The color and print complemented my features. I believe I may buy the turquoise one."- Joanne Gibbs, York, PA

'Stage Fright' Trailer: Found Footage Teen Horror Film Set In Drama Department
Posted on Tuesday, August 14th, 2012 by Germain Lussier
Horror has always been a genre where going meta was met with success. Some recent examples, of course, are found footage movies like The Blair Witch Project or Paranormal Activity as well as the self-referential nature of the Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer films. The new film, Stage Fright, takes that kind of meta-self-awareness even further. It's a film about found footage that's being turned into a film. Basically a movie, within a movie, within a movie. Directed by Chris Lofing, this independent film is aiming at an October release. Check out the trailer, as well as some stills and two posters, after the jump. Read More »

The billboard was moved from a spot along U.S. 30 just west of the Allen County line to one 20 miles west in the town of Larwill, David Ditton, a spokesman for the Whitley County Patriots, told WANE-TV. Ditton said it was moved at the request of property owner Steel Dynamics Inc.
The billboard shows armed military personnel and the text, "The Navy Seals removed one threat to America. the voters must remove the other."
The wording of the billboard is similar to bumper stickers that can be purchased online that call Obama a Muslim. They read: "The Navy SEALs removed one Muslim threat to America! It's up to the voters to remove the other in 2012!"
Obama self-identifies as a Christian. There is no apparent connection to the source of the online bumper stickers and the Whitley County Patriots or the tea party group that paid for the billboard in Elkhart -- "We the People of Marshall and Fulton County."
Indiana Democratic Party Chairman Dan Parker described the billboard as "garbage" in an email to The Journal Gazette.
"You might not agree with the President, but comparing him to Osama Bin Laden, who conspired to kill thousands of Americans, is utterly disgusting, despicable and shows the Tea Party's true colors," Parker said.
Regarding the billboard now in Larwill, the Whitley County Patriots' website says, "Our goal as Whitley County Patriots is to EDUCATE voters about politicians' platforms, COMMUNICATE the issues, and to ELIMINATE APATHY by getting people to WAKE UP. Our Constitutional freedoms are at stake!"
Steel Dynamics did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
The billboard in Elkhart remains near Nappanee Street and John Weaver Parkway. We the People of Marshall and Fulton County said it will stay there until November 1.

Praying Hitler in ex-Warsaw ghetto sparks emotion
A statue by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan shows Adolf Hitler praying on his knees in Warsaw, Poland, on Friday Dec. 28, 2012. The work, "HIM" has been drawing visitors since it was installed last month and even some anger. One Jewish group, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, this week condemned the work's placement in the former ghetto as "a senseless provocation which insults the memory of the Nazis' Jewish victims.".

Yesterday, the fire held within all lines on the fire. Firefighters continue to hold, patrol and mop up. Firelines were completed on the eastern part of the fire. With strong southwest winds, the eastern perimeter may be exposed to winds that may challenge these firelines. Fire fighters on these lines will be keeping a watchful eye on the line and outside the fireline so they can quickly respond to flare up or hotspots. Along the southern and eastern flanks helicopters were used to extinguish hot spots and support crews.
Crews will continue repairing the Pacific Crest Trail and other areas impacted by fire suppression. Minimum Impact Suppression Techniques are being utilized within the park. Crews are prepared for initial attack in Lassen Volcanic National Park and are available for structure protection. Snag removal will continue on the Lassen Volcanic National Park Highway.

A meeting to discuss the Chips Fire was held 12:30 p.m., Aug. 20, 2012 at Hamilton Branch Fire District.
The fire has been upgraded to a type 1 fire and is now being managed by California Intradistrict Management Team 4.
"We are very fortunate to have an incredible amount of resources from California. Due to the complexity of the fire, we are able to bring in additional resources as needed," said Team 4 Incident Manager Rocky Oplinger.

Former UFC welterweight number one contender Frank Trigg has re-signed with the UFC and again finds himself in the middle of a very stacked 170 lbs. division. According to UFC.com, Trigg over three years removed from his last UFC appearance finds himself back in the division he found most of his success despite spending much of his time away from the Octagon as a middleweight.
Despite losing both of his title shots to former UFC champion Matt Hughes via rear naked choke, he has had some impressive victories of late taking out Falaniko Vitale, Kazuo Misaki and Jason Miller. Known as much for his mouth as for his fighting skill, Trigg should be an interesting addition to an already deep division.
When and who he will fight next is not known at this time.

A Titanic replica? Clive, that's a great business idea
I'm not sold on Clive Palmer's political instincts. The mining magnate, who controls a variety of resources companies like Queensland Nickel, has a tough challenge ahead of him winning LNP preselection in the seat of Lilley which is currently held by Deputy PM Wayne Swan. Particularly since Opposition Leader Tony Abbott hit a reluctant note talking about it yesterday.
But I am sold on Palmer's idea to build a second Titanic. Reason one: it's an example of a billionaire actually doing something grand with their ginormous reserves of cash for once. "I don't want to die wondering, you know, I always wondered if we could build another Titanic," he told ABC Brisbane this morning.
Reason two: it's an exciting and potentially viable business opportunity.
In light of the 100th anniversary this year of the unthinkable happening to the "unsinkable", interest has been revived in the ocean liner's tragic story.
For instance, a spokesperson for the Australian National Maritime Museum told The Punch there's been plenty of demand for its latest Titanic exhibition: "We've been really surprised and delighted with the response to the exhibition," museum spokesperson Shirani Aththas said.
And just look at the Titanic Memorial Cruiseliner. A passenger ship (that's not a carbon copy construction of the original) is following the original liner's exact route from Southhampton to New York with the exact same number of passengers. It launched last month to mass acclaim.
A number of sage business minds know there's a dollar to be made in it all. James Cameron's Titanic raked in more than a billion dollars when the film bulldozed the box office in the mid-1990s. Film bosses figured they could make even more money out of it by re-releasing it in 3D earlier this year. That assumption was correct.
Considering all this interest and money that's already made off the back of the boat recently, I reckon Palmer's right about there being a long-term market in a replica cruise. And while there have been a number of proposals to build a Titanic II before, Palmer's idea actually has momentum.
Palmer explained the practicalities of the construction project this morning on ABC radio. He said that he is building four nickel carriers at a Chinese shipyard for his company's operations in North Queensland. Economies of scale mean it's efficient to build a passenger liner there at the same time, particularly since the Chinese shipbuilding industry are keen to jump into the passenger ship construction market.
Palmer said they've got technology engine- and propulsion-wise to make it fuel efficient (the boat will be diesel-powered). He says he already owns the rights to the name Titanic II.
One facet of the boat that will differ from its inspiration is that it will have a "Queensland Room" that will showcase development and investment opportunities available in the sunshine state. Typical big-noting Queenslander. Palmer's Titanic team will also hopefully make sure the boat differs from its namesake by ensuring it is equipped with substantially more life rafts.
The Australian reported this morning that as of late yesterday there have been 2000 expressions of interest in Palmer's maiden cruise, which he projects will launch in 2016. For their sake, let's hope Clive's team includes an OH&S supervisor who's a bit of a tightarse.
Most commented
Grumpy says:
"I don't want to die wondering, you know, I always wondered if we could build another Titanic,"
Cobbler says:
If he gets into politics will he have to sell his 'pig farm' or have we moved past that whole pesky vested-interest problem in politics?
Rick of the Dustbowl says:
maybe he could take T Abbott and the rest of the LNP on the maiden voage, don't worry about any life boats this time.
Onlooker says:
I wonder has it occurred to Clive there is reason why no one in 100 years has built another Titanic.. Firstly its a grave ship and secondly the bloody ship sunk!!
pj says:
In my opinion i'm not sold on any polotician ,so I figure Mr Clive Palmer could only make an improvement! As for another Titanic! Why not….
Karen from Qld says:
I think you will find that Clive is not that serious about putting his name up for preselection in Swan's seat. I have a sneaking suspicion that Clive is just trying to mess with Swan's head (do sock puppets have heads?). But let us consider the CV's of both - Palmer is a billionaire and runs a mining empire and given his personal wealth one would say rather successfully. His companies generate jobs and help out with the nation's accounts.On the other hand Swan who is in charge of the Nation's accounts is part of a government thath has racked up record debt and is still yet to bring in a surplus budget (let's just see if next Tuesday he brings in a genuine surplus), His "reforms" are a threat to jobs and the living standards of all Australians.
Clive's bouts of eccentricity reflect on him persoally but when Swan stuffs up he stuffs up on our behalf.
iansand says:
Apparently Mr Palmer is asset rich and cash poor (all things are relative). Grandiose schemes extraneous to core business are often a sign of an impending lack of cash running into the wall of the need to fund a business. That way lies receivership. Irises, anyone?
For his, and his workforce's sake, I hope I am wrong. Maybe pre-selection is an income insurance policy.
nossy says:
When Captain Edward Smith of RMS Titanic gripped the wheel as his ship slipped beneath the waves and uttered those immortal words "looks like Im off here!" we find a similar situation 100 years on with Captain Gillard of the RMS Labor , having clipped an iceberg, gripping the wheel and uttering similar words as her ship slips beneath the political waves. My how history repeats itself!
Bev says:
Are but would be get takers for an Artic cruise?
Other than that it will be a roaring success. The ship that is not his political career.
SydneyGirl says:
Is he hiring Leo and Kate for this voyage?
And why is it being built in China? Is the Chinese Navy accompanying it? Are we not GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU CLIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lyla says:
Build Titanic II? Sure, why not! But for gawd's sake make sure there's enough lifeboats to go around this time. I don't want Leonardo freezing to death again because Kate was too selfish to move over on that piece of flotsam.
C. says:
Build a steel manufacturing plant here Clive. Or will that upset your mates in China? Oh, I forgot, no Chinese labour laws here.
adrian says:
ummm does the names RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic many anything to anyone ??? these are the first and third "titanic's" built exactly on the same plans as the second "titanic" you know the famous one that killed 1500 or so, so if Clive is to build another it would in fact be the fourth and not the so claimed second titanic, but who's going to let a few facts get in the way ...
Chris says:
Titanic is small by comparison with some of the monster cruise ships of today. One would hope that ship-building has progressed to the point where designs from a century ago are seen as the historic relics they are.
Waste of money
Martin says:
unfortunately once Clive gets on that titanic, no one else can get on it there's no space left.
Chris says:
Considering how well he piloted Gold Coast United I think Titanic III would be a more appropriate name…
Ian1 says:
If anyone could rebuild pride, it would be Clive. Personally I would have let the memory of the Titanic remain a watery masterpiece, a tragedy of hubris, but to vicariously feel being a part of resurrecting the benchmark would be humbling to say the least. As a name, Titanic II somehow fits the story.
Adam says:
But will it be Clive-proof? I can see it now. He'll step on the gangway and it'll capsize before it leaves port..
Dan says:
Hey.. why not build the pyramids too and Clive could be Pharaoh ? Clive, if you build that ship- Titanic 2 -make sure you and Tony and the creepy Mr Pyne are on that 'madmen' voyage. I'll be down at the dockside waving frantically with my hankie .. a very dry hankie. I hear the Southern Oceans are great this time of year . Instruct the Captain to steam due south -full speed ahead.
Melaney, says:
Hi Clive,
The sinking of the Titanic was a tragedy beyond comprehension.
However, would you think the money could be better spent on providing scholarships, grants and donations to schools, colleges and universities?
Overit says:
Sadly most of these politically-minded commentators will vote, and vote for Abbott. The Australian will get the kind of government you deserve - intentionally uneducated, wildly self-absorbed, and controlled by someone with too much money but will still do anything to anyone to get more. Why oh why will the Libs not return to Turnbull as leader? At least he has credibility and can think faster than his mouth moves!
Nearer My God To Thee! says:
What a contrast.
One bloke uses HIS OWN money to take a ships' name universally associated with failure and if his own form is any guide, he will make tens of millions of dollars profit from it.
The other bloke, who has never held a proper job or produced anything of value in his whole ignorant life, has taken an economy which was billions of dollars in surplus, and in a few short years has transformed it to the point where it is now two hundred thousand million dollars in deficit.
This innumerate buffoon is still borrowing over one hundred million dollars PER DAY, and yet he comically boasts that he is "the world's best treasurer".
This time around, I suspect that Captain Palmer's Titanic will float, both majestically and profitably, but Captain Gillard and First Mate Swan are about to become very soggy specimens indeed.
Lord Stockton says:
Titanic II AS a sub title I wonder if ALP 2012 would be appropriate. After all steaming full speed ahead to an iceberg of their own making.
They have a number to choose from -
The carbon tax lie,or
the deal on pokie reform with Wilkie or
Julia 'stand by your man' - choice here of Tompson or Skipper or
Abbott will close down the tent embassy on Australia Day
Damo says:
"Reason one: it's an example of a billionaire actually doing something grand with their ginormous reserves of cash for once."
You're sh*tting me right? I suppose Bill Gates having a foundation to rid the world of poverty and preventable health problems with over 30 billion in the reserves is just some ego trip?
This is a d!ck measuring exercise by about the biggest d!ck of all. At least we don't have to measure his bollocks because we already know he's nuts…(it was in the Wikileaks CIA emails…).
Terence D says:
One thing about Clive. "He's certainly not dull".
He's more like a modern version of Barnum&Bailey;, and like he once said. "There's a sucker born every minute!".
Anonymous says:
I'd be less inclined to call this guy an idiotic and greedy sack of shit if he instead put the hundreds of millions of dollars towards something useful like cancer or stem cell research.
Garry says:
Clive you can't give your " Titanic " to Gillard and the Labor party, they are already sitting on their own, rearranging the deck chairs and looking for a way to throw the captain overboard !
Dieter Moeckel says:
Pity the topic so quickly descended into politics abuse and vitriol.
While it's Palmer's money to with as he wants its is unethical and amoral to spend it on an idiocy while a child is dying of hunger and preventable disease every few seconds.
I really wish that people such as Palmer would take a leaf out of Peter Singer's book and not only pay lip service to real charity.
My wife and I are on a comfortable retirement income and allocate an affordable amount to charity not quite the same as Peter Singer, not even close really but in relative terms more the Palmer a great deal more.
Ross says:
I wish you all the best with your Ship Clive ,if it sails please don't be on it . Instead get all your close mates and build a replica of the Hindenburg ,you and your mates could provide enough hot air . Hydrogen would be better for what I Would like to see though.

Ardmore, PA (Sports Network) - Tiger Woods mixed two bogeys and a birdie in his final seven holes on Friday as he wrapped up an opening-round, 3-over 73 at the U.S. Open.
Woods, a three-time winner of the Open, finished the first round six strokes off the pace of Phil Mickelson at Merion.
After play was halted by darkness on Thursday evening, Woods returned to the 11th green on Friday and kicked in a short par putt. He stumbled to a bogey at the 12th, but atoned for that mistake with a birdie at 13.
Woods parred three in a row before faltering to a bogey on the long par-3 17th. He nearly chipped in for birdie at the last, but settled for a tap-in par.
"I certainly had two 3-putts and I missed a (lot) of putts and the round could have easily been under par. So that's good heading into this afternoon," Woods stated.
The opening 75 was the worst first-round score for Woods since he began the 2006 U.S. Open with a 76 at Winged Foot. He went on to miss the cut that week, and that stands as his last missed cut in a U.S. Open.
Late Friday, Woods appear to injure his left arm on his approach shot to the 11th. But he downplayed that after wrapping up his first round on Friday.
"My left arm didn't feel very good on that shot. A few shots," he admitted. "But overall it was not too bad a round."

The Braun 7871 Dual Epilator is the revolutionary new hair removal experience that everyone is talking about.
Braun's epilation knowledge together with Gillette Venus technology brings you a completely new hair removal device with a unique combination of epilator and blade.
The epilator removes hairs as small as grain of sand so you don't get that 'black dot' effect left when shaving. And because hairs are removed from the root, regrowth is finer and slower, giving you long-lasting hair-free skin.
The breakthrough comes with the integration of the removable Gillette Venus blade. It follows behind the epilator, capturing stubborn hairs and lifting up dead skin cells to reveal a fresh new skin feeling every time.
You can use the The Braun 7871 Dual Epilator in the bath or shower for a more relaxing experience.
As an epilator and shaver in one, the Braun 7871 is ideal for all-over body use, with the pivoting head fitting snugly to your body's contours, including under-arm and your bikini line.
The epilation head features a unique arrangement of 40 tweezers and the battery lasts for up to 30 minutes before needing a recharge.

Mixing wire sized is certain not prohibited by code, but it is not a workman like installation and can cause issues down the road.
If this is done you MUST size the breaker according tot he smallest wire on the circuit. So, your 20A circuit with #14 to the lights is not complaint and should be fixed. Either replace the breaker with a 15 or replace the #14 with #12.
Hopefully you did not create and even worse violation and tap off a kitchen/DR or bath receptacle circuit for lighting.
The argument that all you are doing is tapping off for a light fixture is NOT valid.
It is extremely rare that you would need to upsize wire in a typical residential installation to counter voltage drop. If you do though it is a good idea to use all the same wire. If you do mix wire sizes IMO it is a good idea, and IMO should be code required, to label the wire in the panel to only be used for the smaller breaker. Someone down the road might see #12 and have no idea that the circuit has #14 on it and replace the 15 with a 20A breaker.
Some people have the misguided idea that they should use all #12 and use some 15 amp breakers so they can someday "upgrade" the circuit to a 20A. They feel there is some safety factor built in by doing this. This is completely untrue, unless of course you have an extremely long circuit and voltage drop is an issue as I mentioned before. There is NO "safety margin" by doing this. All you are doing wasting a potential 5 amps of circuit capacity by under sizing a breaker.

The fading pride of Three Lions
Michael Owen always was a footballer apart. He retires as a throwback to an extinct breed. There was once a time when players were known for being better for England than their clubs. Owen followed in the tradition of Darren Anderton back to Ray Wilkins and even Bobby Moore. In modern football, such a status is no longer acceptable.
- Brewin: Owen: Too much, too soon
- Owen's career in pictures
- Blog: Owen calls it a day
When Owen moved to Newcastle United in the summer of 2005, it was with England in mind. The Magpies never saw anything like the best of him. After a Christmas injury sustained in a collision with Paul Robinson, Owen played just half a game for his club before joining the England squad for Germany 2006. There he sustained the knee injury that kept him out of the game for a year. For that, he received little sympathy from his paying public. He was always known as "England's Michael Owen" from then on. It was no term of endearment.
In England, the Premier League is eating international football. Clubs rules OK. The England team may be an object of obsession for the mainstream football media, but a glance at the absentees from Roy Hodgson's squads for the double-header with San Marino and Montenegro spells out priorities.
It might be providence that Jack Wilshere is missing again. It appears sheer bad luck that there is an injury crisis among centre backs but the Rio Ferdinand saga is indicative. Ferdinand was once viewed by his club's fans as more interested in his England career than playing for Manchester United. A player who has long stated his disappointment at being omitted from Euro 2012 has now decided that his club training regime was the priority.
Ferdinand is eyeing a contract extension at Manchester United. At his advancing age, the legs need to be preserved, the aching back to be given a rest. That he has spent his downtime from football attending a One Direction concert, hanging out with heartthrob Harry Styles and having a late-night curry has caused opprobrium about his chosen mode of recovery. His spending the evening of the San Marino game as a pundit on a Qatari TV channel has twitched some suspicious noses into smelling a rat.
Ferdinand's defence is that this is normal practice and that he will be availing himself of the training facilities of Doha's Aspire Academy, but still do not look the actions of a patriot. Despite the friendly statements exchanged between Rio and Roy on Monday, there seems little chance of Ferdinand playing in the World Cup finals, should England even reach them. By Thursday, Hodgson was saying he didn't "have any serious thoughts" on Ferdinand. The player has shut the window of opportunity on himself.
The trend of English players giving up on international football to extend their club career was begun in earnest by Alan Shearer. England's captain went into Euro 2000 stating that this would be his last tournament. Six years later, he hung up his boots as a Newcastle player. Paul Scholes followed in 2004, and when he retires this summer he will have been playing nine years beyond his international retirement. Jamie Carragher followed suit in 2007, only to make an ill-starred return at the 2010 World Cup. Few would be surprised if Steven Gerrard were to hang up his international boots either next summer or should England fail to qualify for Brazil. Wayne Rooney's international career might well finish after the European Championships in 2016. It is accepted practice. The pull of a final contract is far bigger than a major tournament. Been there, done that, it seems.
Just like the FA Cup, the England team is in danger of becoming a backwater, an inconvenience. A lack of success does not help. The pride of the Three Lions has been dimmed. One of the stated aims of the Premier League back in 1992 was to make the England team even better than the squad who had reached the semi-finals of Italia '90.
England's success there had revived the game's popularity after the pallor of the 80s. Euro '96 brought football home, and crystallised a national excitement about the game not seen since the 1960s. Yet 1996 was the summer that foreign talent began to fully flow into the English game. The dilution process that has resulted in only Newcastle United's Steven Taylor being first choice for his club of any of Hodgson's available central defenders began there.
The club game has gone global ever since. The Champions League's expansion in 1998 led to continental giants being able to furnish themselves with the talent to cement their place at the top table. While the competition's group stages are often completed as tedious routine, the knock-out rounds are almost certainly the highest grade of football on the planet. In the international game, coaches cannot buy players to fill gaps in their teams. Even indomitable Spain have weaknesses. Their infamous 4-6-0 formation at Euro 2012 was built through necessity and not pretension.
The expansion of the club game seems inexorable such that a "Dream League", a World Cup for clubs, seemed plausible to Oliver Kay, the usually intractable Chief Football Correspondent of the Times. That he believed in what a conman had copied from a French spoof website reflected a resignation towards the club elite eventually dictating the terms of the game's direction. With fans, or customers as they are known these days, being seen in global terms, then the fortunes of the England team has become of little interest to the clubs. Non-qualification for Euro 2008 happened the same season two English competed in the Champions League final.
That is not to say that England can afford to miss out again. The flavour of an international tournament is unique. Even if they are the déjà vu of repeatedly going out on penalties, the shared memories of a footballing nation are those at a World Cup or European Championships. Club football may hold all the aces but it still cannot compete with that.

The Price of the Surge
STEVEN SIMON is Hasib J. Sabbagh Senior Fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. From 1994 to 1999, he served on the National Security Council in positions including Senior Director for Transnational Threats.See more by this author
This article is part of the Foreign Affairs Iraq Retrospective.
In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new approach to the war in Iraq. At the time, sectarian and insurgent violence appeared to be spiraling out of control, and Democrats in Washington -- newly in control of both houses of Congress -- were demanding that the administration start winding down the war. Bush knew he needed to change course, but he refused to, as he put it, "give up the goal of winning." So rather than acquiesce to calls for withdrawal, he decided to ramp up U.S. efforts. With a "surge" in troops, a new emphasis on counterinsurgency strategy, and new commanders overseeing that strategy, Bush declared, the deteriorating situation could be turned around.
More than a year on, a growing conventional wisdom holds that the surge has paid off handsomely. U.S. casualties are down significantly from their peak in mid-2007, the level of violence in Iraq is lower than at any point since 2005, and Baghdad seems the safest it has been since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime five years ago. Some backers of the surge even argue that the Iraqi civil war is over and that victory on Washington's terms is in sight -- so long as the United States has the will to see its current efforts through to their conclusion.

That's according to the second-quarter derivatives report of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. It tallied $222.5 trillion of notional derivatives held by insured U.S. commercial banks and savings associations, compared with $203.5 trillion in the second quarter of 2009.
"It's outrageous," says Lawrence Parks, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Monetary Education, who included the statistics in a recent presentation. "If these guys were making bets with their own money, go to it. But don't come to me after you've lost and say, 'I'm too big to fail, give me money without limit.' "
To be sure, new Dodd-Frank rules on swaps dealers just took effect on Friday. But Sheila Bair, the former head of the FDIC who now chairs the Systemic Risk Council, says in an e-mail that, while some derivatives are ordinary hedges, their sheer magnitude, complexity, and opacity "creates an almost impenetrable web of interconnections that makes our global financial system vulnerable to systemic shocks." Her advice? Rules to get risky derivatives out of federally insured banks.

XD And having it so your Pokemon can follow you around is awesome. Im not sure why it took them so long to do it again since Yellow because it was a great feature.

I bought both when they came out, because I am a true Poke-fan.

I bet you didn't catch them all legitimately.

Don't worry your tiny, oversized brain over it, I did catch them all legitimately.
That's why I buy most versions when they come out.
