Over the past several months, colleagues have been asking what kind of hardware is in use in our kiosk installations. After posting about the Firefox kiosk upgrade, hardware specifics seemed like it would be a good next post. If you are interested in this kind of thing…
We use keyboards from Input Technologies. They are anti-vandal and stand up to a lot of wear and tear. In addition, they don't have control, alt or delete keys so users can't break out of the kiosk interface. We use the Eclipse anti-vandal model, 63-key (not 85 key), fascia mount. If ordering a trackball we ask for the button to be top mounted (users had trouble with the bottom mounted). I was recently changing planes in the Minneapolis airport and noticed they were using the same keyboards on their internet kiosks.
To mount those keyboards, we just cut a plywood board, drop the keyboard inside a cavity and then mount the board on the wall using this small mount from Ergotron. This mount is really small and allows the visitor to angle the keyboard to their liking.
For CPUs, we like Shuttle since the computers are small, nifty looking and easily customizable for any situation. In most instances, we custom build casing that encloses the unit to match the exhibition design (see photo at the top of the post).
We've also just started using the Cappuccino models in places where space is even tighter and the computer needs to be smaller. The Cappuccino comes with this bracket which will mount the computer and the monitor. We use the Cappuccino for the electronic comment books in our special exhibition galleries (photo above).
For Touch Screens, we use Elo all the way. Having used different brands in the past, we find Elo has performed the best. We always go with the Intellitouch technology. Calibration seems to be a constant issue for us, but it has been with every touch screen we've ever used, so I can't fault Elo for that. When mounting these, we often use this mount from Ergotron.
If you are using hardware that you like or have questions about any of the hardware listed here, comment and let us know.

Shield your eyes from its overpowering beauty!
Holly Madison's engagement ring truly is a sight to behold. The 18-carat cushion-cut yellow diamond, surrounded by pink and yellow diamond flowers, had our readers oohing and aahing this week when we showed a close-up of it. Check out our original story here.
Even more remarkable, it was created by an amateur.
"My fiancé [Pasquale Rotella] designed it himself, because I told him that's what would make it most special," the former Girls Next Door star, 33, told PEOPLE. (Okay, celebrity jeweler Alan Friedman helped Rotella out with it.)
Put on some protective eyewear and look a little closer, and you'll even see some special hidden touches in the ring. "Because we love owls, there is a hidden owl engraved on the rose gold in between two of the flowers," Madison says. "The band is art nouveau-inspired, to go with the flowers."
Of course, an over-the-top ring needs an over-the-top proposal to go with it. And Rotella did not disappoint there, either.
He popped the question last Sunday at the top of a Ferris wheel in Las Vegas.

Recipe by Fei Fei
"Trust me, one egg is enough to make a sumptuous Egg Drop Soup! The problem I find with egg drop soup recipes is that the timing for the egg drop is never right, so the egg never separates into true ribbons. My Chinese father taught me the trick to this soup, which I now pass to you!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons tapioca flour
1/4 cup cold water
4 cups chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil (optional)
1 pinch white pepper (optional)
This is a wonderful recipe!! I, too, used cornstarch, because I did not have tapioca flour on hand. This satisfied my craving. Thanks!! =-D
Good flavor, but the tapioca starch made a texture that I personally don't care for. The family liked it, but like cornstarch version better.
24 Ratings
i didn't use the tapioca flour, used cornstarch instead, but it wuz still delicious. tasted just like the restaurant. i also used a drop or two of yellow food coloring to make it a little bit brighter.
This was really good. I used homemade chicken bone broth and a local free range egg, I did use the tapioca flour (my son is allergic to cornstarch and the rest of us do not care to eat genetically modified foods) and I wouldn't change a thing. I liked it with the sesame oil on top, but it is good without as well. I did need to add a little salt because my broth didn't contain salt. But I wouldn't think you would need to add salt if you use storebought broth. Thanks for the great (and super healthy) recipe!
This was great! The sesame oil really made it for me. Mmm. I used chicken stock instead of broth (it was what was on hand) and chives instead of green onion (also what was on hand). I also added an extra egg because I'm recovering from an operation and need extra protein. Excellent recipe! I'll definitely be eating the leftovers today.
Perfect. Far better than the too thick artificial yellow soup you get out. I followed the directions as noted and made beautiful egg ribbons that were delicate and abundent. I used cornstarch instead of tapioca flour because that is what I had but I will make this again with tapioca flour to note what the difference is. I used the sesame oil and thought the amount called for was just right. Use quality chicken broth for a delicious and quick satisfying pot of wholesome healthy soup. Very nice recipe Fei Fei, thanks for sharing!
This was pretty close to the restaurant ones except I used cornstarch and added a little soy sauce for taste. Thanks for the recipe!
Was salty, but may be because we used bullion cubes.

Gaming keyboard meets manual typewriter
Hard-core gamers are always looking for gear that will survive the most merciless abuse under their sweaty palms. So needless to say, tough keyboards are frequently at the top of the list.
But it isn't often that a new version borrows a technology from the distant past. The first gaming keyboard in OCZ's new "Alchemy" series features keys made from "100 percent rubber-coating for no-slip comfort," according to PClaunches. And in doing so, the "Elixir" is taking a tack used by old Royal and Underwood manual typerwriters, which occasionally sported rubber caps … Read more

You can try the instructions in this document, which applies to the "150: 30" error message: Error "Licensing has stopped working." If you want person-to-person support, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/v6wfLL. They'll be able to address the issue you've described. And while they aren't available on weekends, they are available during the week, I believe until 7pm PST.

Burberry Prorsum
Prorsum is Latin for forward, which is printed on the flag of the Burberry logo. When the classic British brand needed to move forward reinvigorating itself, they tapped Italian designer Roberto Menichetti to head the Burberry Prorsum line in 1998. Youthful and sexy was the aim while still maintaining the traditional elegance. Models Kate Moss and Stella Tennant were used to embody the rebranding and capture the reinvigorated energy. Meanwhile, designer Alexis Bittar produced the brand's first ready-to-wear jewelry collection under the line. Today Burberry Prorsum remains the go-to spot for the brand's bold stylish concepts.▼

Gordon-Levitt joined a musical theater group at the age of four and played the Scarecrow in a production of The Wizard of Oz.[10] Subsequently, he was approached by an agent and began appearing on television and in commercials for Sunny Jim peanut butter, Cocoa Puffs, Pop-Tarts, and Kinney Shoes.[10]
By age six, he was appearing in several made-for-television films. In 1991, he played both David Collins and Daniel Collins in the Dark Shadows television series.[12] During 1992–93, he played in The Powers That Be, a sitcom starring John Forsythe, as a clever young boy named Pierce Van Horne. Also in 1992, he portrayed Gregory Kingsley in the made-for-TV film Switching Parents, based on Kingsley's real life case of "divorcing" his parents. In 1994 he appeared in the Disney film Angels in the Outfield as an orphan who sees angels. In 1996 he began playing Tommy Solomon on the sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun. The San Francisco Chronicle noted that Gordon-Levitt was a "Jewish kid playing an extraterrestrial pretending to be a Jewish kid".[13] Gordon-Levitt was attending Van Nuys High School while acting on the show.[14] During the 1990s, he was frequently featured in teenage magazines, something he resented.[10] He has also said that during this time period, he did not enjoy being recognized in public, saying that he "hates celebrity".[13]
Gordon-Levitt starred in the 1999 film 10 Things I Hate About You, a modern-day adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, and voiced Jim Hawkins in Treasure Planet (2002), a Disney adaptation of the novel Treasure Island.[15] In 2000, he began attending Columbia University School of General Studies.[10][16] He studied history, literature, and French poetry.[10] He became an avid Francophile and a French speaker.[10] He said that moving to New York City from his hometown forced him to grow as a person.[13] He dropped out in 2004 to concentrate on acting again.[10]
Later acting work[edit]
Gordon-Levitt has said that he made a conscious decision to "be in good movies" after returning to acting.[16] His films include 2001's drama Manic, which was set in a mental institution, Mysterious Skin (2004), in which he played a gay prostitute and child sexual abuse victim, and Brick (2005), a modern-day film noir set at a high school, in which he had the lead role of Brendan Frye, a teen who becomes involved in an underground drug ring while investigating a murder. Brick received positive reviews, with The Minnesota Daily's critic commenting that Gordon-Levitt played the character "beautifully", "true to film's style", "unfeeling but not disenchanted", and "sexy in the most ambiguous way."[16][17] Another reviewer described the performance as "astounding".[18] He also starred opposite Steve Sandvoss as a young judgmental missionary in Latter Days (2003), a film that centers on a sexually repressed Mormon missionary (Sandvoss) who falls for his gay neighbor. He had roles in Havoc and Shadowboxer.[19]
His next role was in 2007's The Lookout, in which he played Chris Pratt, a janitor involved in a bank heist. In reviewing the film, The Philadelphia Inquirer described Gordon-Levitt as a "surprisingly formidable, and formidably surprising, leading man",[20] while New York magazine stated that he is a "major tabula rasa actor ... a minimalist", and that his character worked because he "doesn't seize the space ... by what he takes away from the character."[21] The San Francisco Chronicle specified that he "embodies, more than performs, a character's inner life."[13] His 2008 films include Killshot, in which he played a hoodlum partnered with a hired killer played by Mickey Rourke, and Stop-Loss, directed by Kimberly Peirce and revolving around American soldiers returning from the Iraq War.[16]
Gordon-Levitt played a lead role opposite Zooey Deschanel in (500) Days of Summer, a well-received 2009 release about the deconstruction of a relationship.[19] His performance, described as "the real key" to what makes the film work, credits him with using "his usual spell in subtle gradations."[22] Variety's Todd McCarthy praised his performance, saying he "expressively alternates between enthusiasm and forlorn disappointment in the manner Jack Lemmon could".[23] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said the movie "hits you like a blast of pure romantic oxygen" and credited both lead actors for playing "it for real, with a grasp of subtlety and feeling that goes beyond the call of breezy duty."[24] He was subsequently nominated for a Golden Globe Award.[25]
He later played villain Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.[26] On November 21, 2009, he hosted Saturday Night Live.[27] In 2010, he replaced James Franco[28] to star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Christopher Nolan's science fiction thriller Inception, which received favorable reviews.[19]
In 2011, Gordon-Levitt began filming Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, in which he played John Blake, a beat police officer who emerges as a key ally of Batman.[29] Also released in 2012, he played the starring role of a bicycle messenger in the action film Premium Rush; the younger version of the lead role, shared with Bruce Willis, in the time-travel thriller Looper;[30] and the supporting role of Robert Todd Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's biopic Lincoln.[31]
On January 7, 2013, it was confirmed that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was cast as new character Johnny in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, described as "a cocky gambler who disguises a darker mission to destroy his most foul enemy at his best game". In October 2013, it was reported that he was one of the frontrunners to play the lead character for Marvel Studios and Edgar Wright's superhero film Ant-Man.[32][33]
Directing and producing[edit]
Gordon-Levitt's first film as director, the 24 minute-long Sparks, an adaptation of a short story by Elmore Leonard starring Carla Gugino and Eric Stoltz, was selected for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival as part of a new program for short films.[34] In 2010, he directed another short film, Morgan and Destiny's Eleventeenth Date: The Zeppelin Zoo.[35] It premiered at two houses during the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.[35]
He was one of the many producers of the Broadway show Slava's Snowshow.[36]
In 2013, Gordon-Levitt wrote, directed and starred in his screenwriting and directorial debut, Don Jon. The film also stars Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, and Tony Danza, and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2013. Following the premiere, the film was acquired by Relativity Media and Gordon-Levitt stated: "I always intended this to be a movie for a mass popular audience. Everyone told me it was a long shot ... I couldn't possibly be more grateful."[37]
In December 2013, Gordon-Levitt announced his involvement as a producer on a film adaptation of the critically acclaimed graphic novel series The Sandman. He will produce for the Warner Bros. studio, alongside David S. Goyer and Neil Gaiman, the creator of the series. Gordon-Levitt may also direct and star in the film.[38] [39]
Personal life[edit]
Gordon-Levitt's older brother, Dan,[40][41] who was a photographer and fire spinner, died in 2010, when he was 36.[42]
In October 2013, Gordon-Levitt identified himself as a feminist, giving credit to his mother: "My mom brought me up to be a feminist. She was active in the movement in the 60s and 70s. The Hollywood movie industry has come a long way since its past. It certainly has a bad history of sexism, but it ain't all the way yet."[43]
Gordon-Levitt explained his understanding of the concept of "true love" in a November 2013 promotional interview for Don Jon:
Well those two words can mean a lot of different things. You mean, the Princess Bride version of true love? Do you mean the Sleepless in Seattle version of true love? Um, I would say true love means a genuine and unique connection between two unique individuals. What I think true love is not, is some shiny trophy that's the same "riding off into the sunset" image that you can get. I don't think ... if you think about true love as something that you're after, that you can have, um, you're missing it.[44]

News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEJanuary 31, 2003
COLUMBUS, OH - Landowners interested in creating a forest on their property may be able to take a direct deduction from their federal taxes this year by planting trees, according to state foresters with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The IRS allows for a 10 percent tax credit on the cost of reforestation projects which can be taken directly off an individuals federal income taxes, said John Dorka, chief of the ODNR Division of Forestry. For example, someone spending $2,000 to establish a forest on their property may be able to directly deduct $200 from the amount of federal taxes they owe.
In addition to the tax credit, Dorka advises landowners they can deduct up to 95 percent of certain reforestation expenses over an eight-year period.
Projects that the IRS approves for the reforestation tax credit include: the purchase of seedlings, labor and tools, site preparation and depreciation on equipment associated with tree planting.
Detailed information on the tax-saving programs is available through the U.S. Forest Services web site at: www.fs.fed.us/spf/coop
Investing in forests is good business and good for the environment, said Dorka. But forestry is a long-term investment and these tax-savings options help individuals to get started.
State foresters can assist in establishing forests through advice offered by on-site consultations with state service foresters and through the sale of seedlings from the Marietta Tree Nursery. ODNR is the largest producer of tree seedlings in the state, producing more than three million trees each year for reforestation efforts.
More than a dozen varieties of trees are still available for sale, including white pine, silky dogwood, baldcypress, sugar maple and sycamore. The trees, available in bundles of 50, are one- to-two years old and bare rooted. A minimum order of 250 trees is required.
Selecting the proper type of tree for a particular location and soil characteristic is essential for a successful planting. ODNR service foresters are available to help landowners in choosing the right trees for their particular objectives. This assistance is especially recommended for plantings in excess of three acres.
Since state reforestation efforts began more than 80 years ago, ODNR foresters have planted more than a half billion trees in Ohio.
For specific information about the availability of various tree species and their prices, or for a list of service forester office locations (by county) and telephone numbers, contact the ODNR Division of Forestry toll free at 1-877-691-8733 or on the Internet at ohiodnr.com
For additional news online, check out the ODNR Press Room at Ohiodnr.com

This car was a buig change for us. Coming out of a Jag XF Premium there was obviopus power/acceration differences. We have had the Cad for 1 week now and can't say enough about this car. The CUE system is intuitive and does take some learning but not as extensive as one might think considering the gadgetry involved. The trunk is huge! Did I say it was huge!? It is huge. The rear heated seats are to dye for and the ease of entry and exit are unmatched in other sedans. We were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the acceleration once we got used to the car and were not afraid to push it a bit. Put the shifter in "M" mode and the suspension adjusts to a sport setting. Shifting is normal until you use the paddle shifters. After that it is all up to you. Hold either of the paddles down for 3 seconds and the shifting returns to full auto but the sport suspension remains. This Caddy will get out of its own way. The quiet ride is exceptional. So far the only irritant is excessive wind noise when the moonroof is open. The interior and vehicle fit and finish is superb. This Cadillac has been a long time coming and was worth the wait.

What kind of responsibility do we have to do the right thing? It's easy to say that doing something which is against the rules but doesn't hurt anyone is OK.
Take paying for public transport. Many people feel that grabbing a free ride doesn't hurt, but if too many people ride for free, then the whole system risks breaking down.
Wealthy people and companies say they are doing nothing illegal by using overseas tax havens and other measures to avoid paying tax.
Technically they're right, but if the average worker put as much time and effort into reducing their tax bill as these companies do, then our governments would collapse overnight.
Last week the ACTU released research showing an alarming number of employers are paying their employees cash-in-hand, a practice that while not necessarily breaking the law, is closely associated with failing to pay tax, and neglecting or failing to pay workers' their legal entitlements.
Of the 1000 people surveyed, 13 per cent reported they had worked "cash-in-hand" at some point in the last three years, with 5 per cent currently working cash-in-hand.
Only 1 per cent said that they were working cash-in-hand but their employer was taking out taxes before paying them. The figure soared for younger workers, with 24 per cent of workers aged 18-29 working cash-in-hand at some point in the last three years.
While workers receiving cash-in-hand payments may be avoiding income tax, they are also missing out on things like superannuation (48 per cent didn't get it), annual leave (56 per cent), penalty rates (57 per cent) or sick leave (52 per cent). Many are paid below the minimum wage and many would not have the protection of the workers' compensation system if they were injured on the job.
The real winners are the unscrupulous employers, who avoid paying tax to the government and entitlements to their workers.
The amount of cash-in-hand work is one of the dirty secrets of the Australian economy and, from what unions are hearing, its use is growing.
At a time when employer groups are launching a campaign aimed at cutting penalty rates, we see evidence that almost half of young people in cash-in-hand work are not being paid their superannuation.
The number of employers using cash-in-hand payments is disturbing and so is the lack of interest from employer groups in dealing with this problem. The head of the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Peter Anderson, said on radio this week that he agreed cash-in-hand work was a problem, but didn't have any suggestions on how to fix it.
I have a simple way to reduce the problem – allow unions access to businesses to ensure that bosses are paying their workers properly, and let us work with the tax office and regulators to expose and reduce this issue.
Most businesses are honest, and do their best to comply with tax and employment laws. They are the ones that are hurt by cash-in-hand, because their competitors use it to gain an unfair advantage.
The usual employer complaint is that the "red tape" or "inflexible laws" means it is impossible for business, small business in particular, to employ staff, so they are forced to go round the system.
I don't see paying tax, paying the minimum wage, and paying employees superannuation, as "red tape". I see these as basic responsibilities of any business, big or small.
Most businesses treat their staff well and would not dream of refusing to pay their superannuation.
It is a major concern that young people are disproportionately being paid cash-in-hand, and backs up other ACTU research that has found young people are more likely to be stuck in insecure forms of work like casual or contract work.
The definition of "young" in the survey was between 18 and 29 years of age. So this is not a problem that only effects school or university students, it is hitting people who have been in the workforce for a decade and have families to support and mortgages to pay.
Too many young people are shifting through a series of temporary jobs, with no career path and no development in their skills. They face a difficult future because this kind of work limits their ability to own a house or to raise children with any sense of security.
Young workers are increasingly doing jobs that have irregular and inconvenient hours, have limited entitlements and have no job security. Cash-in-hand work is just part of this trend.
I don't feel strongly about this just because of the entitlements that young cash-in-hand workers are losing. I worry about what lessons are we teaching these young people, when they are told that the only way they'll be hired is if they accept cash-in-hand work.
We're teaching them that rules are made to be broken, that it's okay to rort the system as long as you get away with it, and that it's okay to rip people off.
And that's avoiding our responsibility to the next generation.

Bullshit, let Unions in to have a look at your books, why so they know how much they can screw out of an employer. I had the Unions come into my business during the Keating/Hawke era and try this on telling me I had to do this and do that and the end result was that every Union employee was duly given his marching orders and then rehired on casual rates and not a Union members. If they didn't like it they didn't have to take the offer but 99% did and only one died in the wool Union member refused whilst the others had a job the next day. Pissed the Union off no end but at least they had no excuse to come onto my property again and the next time they tried I called the cops to have then removed.
We have all seen and heard enough about the corrupt Union officials to know that they are not there to help the workers but to help themselves and make life miserable for any employer that they can get their dirty hands on in some way. Have a good look at the CMFEU and their disregard for the Workchoices referees who told them to go back to work but they refused and are now being sued for $10m by the firm involved. This shows that the Unions believe that they are above the law in all respects but expect the employers to toe the line. its a farce and needs addressing before we even tackle the cash for work problem. Get your own house in order before trying to get others to do the right thing and you may have more luck as now people just think and know what a bunch of lawless arseholes most Union officials are..

Unions have to show they have the ability to police their own backyard before they can be given the right to run around the country policing employers. I think we will be waiting a while on that one.
bananabender56 says:
We can of course easily fix the problem by doing away with personal income tax and increase the GST - you can't avoid it. We of course won't do that because 1. there is a huge accountant/tax industry and 2. the ATO would be reduced to a dozen people in a portable office. If unions want to act as 'proper' organisations then they need to adopt the same rules and regs as companies.
bananabender56 says:
Given the appalling record of this Government in spending my taxes wisely, I think it's my duty to keep as much money out of their hands as possible.
acotrel says:
The statistic that one on four workers are being paid cash in hand means that 25% of employers are GRUBS ! Nuplex in Wangaratta, a resin manufacturer is about to move its works offshore. The main reason that any business moves to the country in the first place is to exploit the feudal system - few unions in evidence, slack OHS, hire and fire much more easily. Now Nuplex are moving to where you can kill workers during the process of making money, and get away with it.
We often have businesses moving offshore, and I suggest it is the GRUBS which move first. They cannot do the right thing, and operate with a sound quality/safety/environment ethos.
In Australia we have a problem that many businesses operate w ith a compliance/minimalist mindset. THings such as ISO9000, ISO14000 and AS4801 certification are merely window dressing, there is no serious attempt to 'do it right first time' and produce high quality.
It means the intent is to operate at third world standards and when we compete with Asian countries on that basis, we must lose !
Our government should rationalise the OHS authorities, certifying bodies, and the productivity commission, and develop the same culture that the Germans already have. We must move up market in a quality sense, if we are ever going to keep our wages and conditions.
Tubesteak says:
"Wealthy people and companies say they are doing nothing illegal by using overseas tax havens and other measures to avoid paying tax"
This is somewhat of a misnomer. Using any soprt of "overseas tax haven" means it will be classes as a CFC or a FIF (rules to be rewritten but this is the state of play right now) which means they fall under the attribution regime. This means any income these vehicles generate has to be included in your taxable income whether you've actually received it or not. Essentially, you can be taxed on money you haven't received.
"a practice that while not necessarily breaking the law, is closely associated with failing to pay tax"
Not that it really matters because someone will pay tax on that money somewhere. The company is paid on it's taxable income. Wages are an expense and thus a deduction. So they wouldn't pay tax on wages paid anyway. If a worker gets the money in cash it is unlikely to have been subject to PAYG. Not to worry, as soon as that worker spends it on something that is where it will hit the tax system. This can be through rent paid to their landlord (income), whatever goods and services they buy from another business (business income) or leaving it in the bank means the bank treats this as income and pays tax accordingly. You cannot escape the taxman.
"The real winners are the unscrupulous employers, who avoid paying tax to the government and entitlements to their workers"
So don't work in these jobs. Make sure you've got the skills, and thus the bargaining power, to get a job that doesn't operate like this. Personally, I'd rather be paid cash in hand and avoid the taxman. That way I can decide where my money goes and not some pork-barrelling government intent on wasting it on dole-bludgers and middle-class welfare which never gets back to me.
fedup labourvoter says:
Paid in cash, what a great and novel idea! Back to the old days where govt deficits were hardly heard of, govt waste was no known. Why would you want to put good money into a supa system that has been going backwards? It's proven that if you banked your money and accumulated interest - instead of supa, you would be better off now. These days, people who are paid low wages don't want to pay tax, especially if it's a second job where you are taxed 50% - into the highest tax bracket, along with the millionaires. Who are we working for - Swanny or ourselves? This govt know how to waste money and they think they are doing a great job. All the more reason not to pay tax!
Alfie says:
"I worry about what lessons are we teaching these young people."
Like Craig Thompson you mean?
Mark says:
Paid in cash is also a way of avoiding the unions from getting their mits on workers salaries.
"allow unions access to businesses to ensure that bosses are paying their workers properly, and let us work with the tax office and regulators to expose and reduce this issue." Wow what a wonderful idea. I know, lets have Craig Thomson and Michael Williamson run it. What can go wrong?
shane says:
Ged, when your member unions comply with the law you may actually have some credibility when it comes to complaining about employers. Until you fix the problems in your own back yard, you don't have the right to comment.
So how about you shut up and pull the CFMEU into line?
AdamC says:
Paying employees cash in hand only really benefits the employer taxation-wise if it can also underdeclare its revenue. (Obviously, you cannot deduct the wages of informal, cash workers from your taxable income.) As such, cash-in-hand work seems to be most prevalent in cash-based businesses, such as hospitality and the building trades.
Based on my experience, in hospitality, cash-in-hand empoyment is certainly used to avoid award rates and penalties, which are set well above market-clearing prices in that industry. As for what can be done about it, I have no idea. However, in part, the non-compliance in this space is driven as much by regulatory failure as lax enforcement. If wages are set by the government without reference to actual market prices, it is hardly surprising that a 'grey market' in labour has arisen.

Give me a break Ged!
I just don't know what to say. The likes of Thompson is what is teaching that you can get away with it! (I believe his story though, he's such a nice man and he would never do anything wrong)
By the way I resigned from the TWU. You want to talk about getting ripped off get your mate Sheldon to look at the way long distance drivers are ripped of by not being paid for waiting time. Or you can get the various transport ministers to look at the BS length rules that mean drivers get to sleep on beds that are only twenty eight inches wide so the likes of Coles can get an extra two pallet spaces.
Another driver died on the Hume just this morning at work. We will have more than two hundred die at work in the next year. Fix that.
The only time that cash in hand is not fair is when you can't get any.
Tim the Toolman says:
"that it's okay to rort the system as long as you get away with it, and that it's okay to rip people off."
Yeah, I know politicians are bad but…oh, wait, you weren't talking about politicians?
I wish I was paid cash in hand…
Between PAYG, Medicare Levy, Private Health, Superannuation, GST and the various additional taxes on everything else (Fuel, alcohol etc…), it's amazing people have anything left to spend at all. I know my bank account would look healthier without every government division, real or invented, taking a cut.
expat says:
"Too many young people are shifting through a series of temporary jobs, with no career path and no development in their skills."
Well Ged, the days of full time work are over.. Business would much prefer to pay a higher contract or casual rate for the flexibility that it provides. You have nobody but yourselves to blame for this shift because you took the flexibility away. It's kind of like those airfares, you can buy the cheap deal but by the time you add on all the extra's and make changes down the track, it was far cheaper to buy the fully flexible fare in the first place.
John O says:
Facts are if a business pays cash in hand, if they get audited they will have to explain where the money went. Plus: with no payslip a worker cannot get a loan for example.
david says:
I've always been paid in cash.
I still pay tax on my earnings but I enjoy not having to pay the bank for the privilege of them earning interest on my deposits. If you recall, in the days before electronic payment of wages, banks did not have account keeping fees etc.
rebarr says:
Why would any small business owner want a union rep. within a bulls roar of their premises? Times are difficult enough already.
St. Michael says:
"The real winners are the unscrupulous employers, who avoid paying tax to the government and entitlements to their workers.
The amount of cash-in-hand work is one of the dirty secrets of the Australian economy and, from what unions are hearing, its use is growing."And what's an even dirtier secret is that employees who get paid cash in hand are often doing so while claiming Unemployment Benefit at the same time. Basically, the employer pays cash in hand, which is never on the employer's books; and the employee, being paid cash in hand, never declares this income to Centrelink.
To my knowledge, not one employer has ever been successfully prosecuted for conspiracy to defraud Centrelink where this collusion exists. It's like a shadow scheme for employment subsidy. Read Peter Sawyer's "Dolebludging: A Taxpayer's Guide" for more information on this.
Not to mention that the said employee paid cash in hand also does not therefore have a paper trail that can be trailed down for the payment of income tax. PAYG only exists as an administrative system: ultimately it's still the employee's income tax to pay, though I'm sure every employee paid cash in hand is super honest and goes directly to the ATO to pay the tax they owe on their income.
But hey, Ged, this is from the proud industry that turned a blind eye to the Nick, and to waterside workers taking off one minute into the shift that created double time and double rates, so what would the ACTU know about rorting?
lostinperth says:
"I have a simple way to reduce the problem – allow unions access to businesses to ensure that bosses are paying their workers properly, and let us work with the tax office and regulators to expose and reduce this issue."
Does this include getting the Union officials to account for the cashies they receive from employers to "avoid industrial action".
How about slush funds for "training" - that disappear into union officials houses.
So you want Union access to all people's business accounts and books. You basically want the power to examine everybody's bank account. Is this to see who is making a profit so you can screw them over.
The Union movement is as corrupt as the worst employer and takes this sanctimonious "holyier-then -thou" attitude.
How about this as a trade off. All Union officials have to answer to the same laws as all company directors have to under the Corporations Act, and all Union accounts are available for public scrutiny same as companies.
Like that will ever happen!!
Rocko says:
"I have a simple way to reduce the problem – allow unions access to businesses to ensure that bosses are paying their workers properly, and let us work with the tax office and regulators to expose and reduce this issue."
As a non-union employee, if this ever happened I would be making sure that I had a class action prepared through a solicitor and standing by for any breach of the privacy act that occurred through any union "observation and guidance" of my employer's payroll books.
It has been proven too often time and time again to me: unions are not trustworthy. Especially when they're calling other non-union members of my industry "scabs" that should be "eliminated" (amongst other colourful language).
You want to show the books? Show us the all the union books, right across Australia with full transparency.
I'd especially love to see the CFMEU books and what their management was using to line their property portfolios: probably the pay offs to "avoid industrial action." And finding out the truth behind the Craig Thompson mess would certainly settle a lot of bad blood amongst the members there too.
And let's not forget about the Victorian wharfies… I'd love to see those rent-a-crowd payments.
Wayne Hall says:
I am employer of many younger people and women working part time when the kids are at school. We have difficulties employing people as many many people in these groups want to be paid cash in hand so they don't have to report income to centre link so there is no impact on their, family payments, student payments etc!
As soon as you ask for a tax file number many people no longer want the job!
So who is the problem, employers, i dont think so, goverment handouts and rules surrounding them, I think so.
And unions want to come in and check the employer is doing the right thing. Can I do the same thing to check on union activities and their slush funds with same impunity and right to take action against the union and union workers?
Then the red tape, on employers, when centre link catch up with some one who may have been overpaid by them, this has to be seen to be believed and the demands and threats if you dont provide the info in a timely manner

Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Stalling Problem
benleuser7 Posts: 3Hey I got a 1995 gmc sierra 5.7l v8 z71 with 450,000k and well this problem first started after i drove for about 25minutes or + then parked for 5 minutes and restarted my engine almost immediately after started its like it stalls. The battery volts go down oil pressure goes down and it vibrates and shuts off. happened alot during the summer and then stopped for a month now even sometimes when im driving alot even in a parking lot the same thing happens im accelerating and then its like it looses power and battery volts go down as well as the oil pressure and dies but i can start it right away. and sometimes when its doing this if i accelerate alot harder it won't die. For winter i need tires rear brakes and my power steering pump is leaking so before i start putting money into this i need to fix this issue. Any thought or potential solutions would be greatly appreciated.
krc4x4 Posts: 1I'm not sure if you have fixed your problem yet, but I would try the remote battery terminal. Loosen the bolts and hit all the contacts with a piece of sandpaper or steel wool or something. After years corrosion builds up and doesn't break the connection, but can weaken the flow of current. Like I said, I'm not sure if it helps @ all, but I've had several vehicles that had that problem and that is what it was. I hope it helps.
benleuser7 Posts: 3i tried that last week and it is still happening, however when the truck shuts off my battery light and my check gages light comes on so does that mean all this is my battery? cause when im driving and accelerate and it sputters it doesnt shut off then so is that a different problem?
andyrogers442 Posts: 2Truck battery died tried to jump it. Didn't work. New battery starts fine,runs fine but lights dim at stops. Truck idles down and wants to stall. Hit the gas back to normal. Alternator tested good, ground looked good, checked blower motor resistor looked fine, and blower works fine. Also truck stays running if heater is off at low RPM's. Any comments could help
lisalisaharvey Posts: 1Hi my names Lisa and i have a 1999 chevy silverado 1500. Were having the same problem the rpms started going crazy and it started revving itself at red lights and stop signs etc. we changed everything we could think of put new spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, mass airflow sensor, got the iag valve cleaned and more stuff i cant think of right now. its still doing it and its getting way worse. now at stop lights etc anytime its supposed to idle it stalls and chokes out. i dk what to do help
egonza Posts: 1Hello,
I have a 2003 silverado 4.3L that I have an issue with when I try to accelerate. I turn the truck on and it turns on perfectly fine, when I put it in gear and try to take off it stalls like if gas was being restricted, this is only when i have it in drive! I can drive it but it will stall literally every other second and i've noticed that when it blows black smoke. It doesnt give me any check engine light, put a scanner in and no codes....I have replaced fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, fuel injectors and fuel filter and not it does this...any help will be appreciated. -

rraner Posts: 1I have a '95 k2500 silverado 6.5 turbo diesel 4x4 with around 250,000+ miles on it. The beginning of February I drove it one morning and everything was fine. left for home in the evening still fine. Stopped to do something then went to turn it on (belched black smoke) and it stalled almost immediately. This happened several times in a row. Waited on a mechanic to show up and by the time he got there it started up and ran fine. Got almost home and it stalled out again. Next day this happened again and it stalled out while I was driving this time. Started it up just fine but no smoke this time. Its now the middle of March and I just got the money up to replace the lift pump drive (been sitting since February). Put it on last night, drove it today and still after 30 minutes the truck wants to die. Last year I had to replace the fuel pump 2-3 times. If I replace it again will this solve the issue? I'm at the limit of what I know to do. Does anyone have any suggestions please?
KCRam@Edmunds Mt. Arlington NJPosts: 3,532Black smoke means the engine is getting more fuel than it can handle (diesel tuners used to pride themselves on how much black smoke they could generate with fueling boxes). It almost sounds like your stalling is due to fuel flooding. You'll probably need to mount a fuel pressure gauge and check to see if you're in spec - it could also be your fuel pressure regulator that's failing.

sb8807 Posts: 1my 99 chevy silverado 4x4 5.3L v8 has for a while been stalling out while im driving down the road. i will be driving along and suddently you feel the truck begin to slow in speed, the throttle doesnt respond and when you come to a complete stop the RPMs which usually run around 1000 are down to 250. i have to turn off the truck and wait a few minutes then restart, this doesnt always work and have to wait longer periods of time. after the RPMs return to 1000 my truck will creep along like its trying to go before you feel the truck suddenly begin to accelarate and runs fine before the problem persist. have changed spark plugs, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel filter. have also recently replaced the starter. any suggestions.
mextexdad Posts: 1Might be a knock sensor. A malfunctioning knock sensor could cause ignition timing to be too far advanced, which would cause the "clattering" sound and drivability issues. If that is the problem, it should run fairly well at higher speeds and light loads. Might be able to verify with timing light.
tcc1973 Posts: 1I've never had this problem with my Silverado, but I have seen this with my other vehicle(99 Chrysler LHS) and like you, I changed a lot of sensors before I got to the Throttle Position Sensor. Some days it would run fine, other days it would bog down and stall. Definitely test and/or replace the TPS.
2013ltz62 Posts: 2i have a 2013 6.2 and i have 2 issues, biggest issue is at slight acceleration the engine stumbles/hesitates/misses which you can feel as well as the tach goes up and down 100 or so rpm, no codes, was told by the dealer i need to wait till it throws a code....it bothered the hell out of me so i brought it back to the dealer, the tech hooked up a handheld scanner and 20 seconds later he said it needs a cam? since it wasnt a consistent hesitation and no back firing plus it ran great wot it was hard to believe, i questioned him and he said he has done 200 cams in this engine, i asked if he meant the 5.3 etc? he said no the 6.2? he said he "wasnt 90% sure it needs a cam but he was 100% sure", i said a cam sensor {still not thinking it needs a cam}, he said no,a cam, it would take 3 days-did i want to leave it, i said no then i said the reason i bought the 6.2 because i thought the 6.2 l series platform was proven to be a good engine and it was a high hp engine with the roller cam etc, he said the roller lifters get slightly turned in the plastic lifter guides and the roller cuts a groove in the cam...i could not believe what i was hearing after 2000 miles....now what? ANY HELP IS NEEDED, THANKS EVERYONE

dsavoy23 Posts: 1I've also got a 93 Silverado Z71. Mine will cut off when I put into reverse and sometimes at idol. It shuts off and I lose power steering, breaks, and check battery comes up. Almost like I was out of gas. But it would start back up with no problems. It's currently in the shop and I haven't heard back from them on what they think is going on. It sounds real strange and I'm glad to find others with the same problem
lprimo Posts: 1While driving my 99 silverado in hot weather (110) i have to rlease the gas pedal to shift from first gear to second gear. This does not happen unless it is very hot outside. I dont have any check engine lights on and when i took it to my mechanic he said the temp on the transmisson looked good and of course when he took it for a spin it shifted correctly without a problem. Any idea what it might be.

The graphs below show the number of motor vehicles per thousand people for various countries. The data for the U.S. are displayed in the line which goes from 1900 to 2007. The points labeled on that line show data for the other countries/regions around the world and how their vehicles per thousand people compare to the U.S. at two different points in time, 1996 and 2007. For instance, the top graph shows that in 1996, Western Europe's vehicles per thousand people was about where the U.S. was in 1967, but by 2007 it is about where the U.S. was in 1972. The lower part of the graph (1900-1940) is shown enlarged below the first graph.
Africa's ratio stayed nearly the same over the ten year period. China's ratio more than tripled from 1996 to 2007.
