The first day we just hung around the quite pool at the Ships Solarium. I loved this pool. On windy days the glass roof was closed and it was always peaceful and never really crowded. Most cruisers hung out at the main pool with the band and the entertainment. Our table mates for the cruise were three couples in their late 30s that all knew each other. They were a lot of fun and really loved to drink. Our first night we spend almost two hours in the dining room. I never had a bad meal on the ship. The food was tres excellent.
Our first stop was Key West. We only had till 1PM at Key West so we got up early had breakfast and walked to the Historic Key West Sea Port boardwalk. It was really just a boardwalk with lots of marinas and boats. But, it was a beautiful walk. I took some pictures and as it was still too early to shop we grabbed a taxi to Ft Zachary Taylor state park. The state park is very nice; we were really the first ones there. The water was very choppy so the visibility was extremely limited. No snorkeling for me that day, but the water was 84 degrees and the air was 84 degree so it was a wonderful way to kill a few hours. We then left Ft Zack and walked to Duval Street and did the Duval Crawl. Mom and I both bought bathing suits and a few other things. Stopped in my favorite Irish pub to rest and then headed back to the ship.
Wednesday was Cozumel Mexico. I think I was most looking forward to Cozumel. I love the blue water at Cozumel, but alas it was so windy all snorkeling excursions were cancelled. We had planned to go to the Chankanaab Park where you can snorkel off shore. We asked at the pier if snorkeling was available that day and were told yes, so we grabbed a taxi and went down to the park just to find out the water was red flagged and no one was allowed in, so we grabbed a taxi back to town to shop the water front. After a few hours we grew weary from lugging around all of our beach gear and everything we had purchased so we headed back to the ship for lunch. After lunch I walked to a hotel near the docks and sat on the pier to watch the waves crash against the rocks. Mom hung out at the pool.
Our last day was a day at sea and Mom and I mostly hung out at the solarium. It was very windy that day, so not much fun walking around outside.
For this trip we went with inside adjoining cabins. Our cabins were on deck two and they were very very quite. They were the last rooms at the front of the ship so it was a loooong walk to our rooms. The rooms were larger than other smaller ships used for 4 day cruises. I liked the adjoining rooms but really missed the window.
The cruise director was the best cruise director I have ever had. He was funny and the game shows were all funny. Of course I enjoyed the shows with the kids in May more as they all really got into them and of course Dave & I got selected for the love and marriage show in May. The Royal Caribbean singers and dancers were also some of the best we have ever seen, but they only did one show.
Even with the windy day in Cozumel it was a great vacation and I would not mind repeating the same cruise. The destinations were varied and all three stops have awesome potential.

The Princess Test is one of the hilarious books in the series The Princess Tales. It is a re-write of the classic story of the Princess and the Pea, with a few funny twists, like all the books in the series. I would definetly recommend this book. Although it is short, its a delight to read till the last letter.

The market for digital goods and virtual currency on its site is already a billion-dollar one, but up until now, Facebook is capturing only a fraction of the business.
The reason: it gives developers great freedom to monetize their applications using whatever business models and third-party services they think work best.
But that will be coming to an end this July as the world's largest social network looks to further boost its revenue growth.

Social gaming exploded last year. More consumers are now playing these sorts of games online, and brands (ranging from SMEs and local businesses to blue-chips and multinationals) are beginning to invest in this space.
The sector is now worth close to £1bn, and is expected to show further growth in 2011.
This post, which coincides with the launch of our Social Gaming Smart Pack, contains a brief overview of social gaming, why it's important, and how it can be used for marketing.

Got points? Starting today, you can redeem them for virtual items like cows in FarmVille or guns in Mafia Wars. In a first-of-its kind deal, American Express has teamed with game-maker Zynga to make its credit card rewards redeemable for virtual goods.
It's the latest example of gamification – or the introduction of game elements into non-game activities. There are reasons this commerce and gaming partnership works for AmEx and Zynga, but the deal could have implications for other companies' reward programs as well.

Thanks to the rise of massive social networks, namely Facebook, and a multi-billion dollar virtual currency market, social gaming has become one of the hottest spaces on the consumer internet.
But there's another reason social gaming is so hot: it is putting the 'casual' back into the concept of 'casual gaming'. Through social games like Farmville and Mafia Wars, millions upon millions of non-gamers have become gamers. In the process, social games are potentially reshaping the gaming industry more broadly.

Google is the 800 pound gorilla of the internet, but despite its prominence, it doesn't have a large footprint in some of the internet's most lucrative emerging markets, such as online gaming. But it might be looking to change that.
On Saturday, TechCrunch's Michael Arrington reported that Google has "secretly invested" $100m to $200m in Zynga, the maker of some of the internet's most popular social games, including Farmville and Mafia Wars. According to Arrington, the investment is related to a new product Google is creating with Zynga's help: Google Games.

Social gaming is the driving force behind the billion-dollar virtual currency market. Popular social games on Facebook such as Farmville and Mafia Wars have turned startups like Zynga into IPO candidates, and have led to an ecosystem of companies that have come up with alternative ways for consumers to pay for digital goods online.
But for social game developers, building social games that have staying popular looks like it may be a challenge. As reported by Inside Social Games, the past two months have been particularly difficult for some of Facebook's most popular games. In April, over half of the top 25 games, as tracked by Inside Social Games, lost users. And the drops intensified this past month.

Facebook has sat by and watched as prominent application developers have made millions upon millions of dollars on its platform, primarily through virtual currency. Not surprisingly, Facebook wants a piece of the action and is moving to take a piece of the action.
But that may not be so easy if the results of early deal making efforts are any indication. Application developer Zynga, which operates some of the most popular social gaming apps on Facebook, including Farmville and Mafia Wars, may leave Facebook and set up its own gaming social network after negotiations with Facebook over the use of Facebook's upcoming universal payments and credits system reportedly fell apart.

Russian firm Digital Sky Technologies, which has provided big funding for other big startups in the social space, namely Facebook and Zynga, has led a $135m investment in the young but profitable Chicago-based startup. The valuation: a cool $1.2bn valuation, which some observers believe is still "cheap."
Groupon is attracting a lot of attention these days, and for good reason. The U.S.-based group shopping service has fueled a worldwide gold rush in the group shopping space.

Assange speaks from embassy
Said Assange (see full transcript here): "The United States must dissolve its FBI investigation. The United States must vow that it will not seek to prosecute our staff or our supporters. The United States must pledge before the world that it will not pursue journalists for shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful. There must be no more foolish talk about prosecuting any media organization, be it WikiLeaks or the New York Times. The U.S. administration's war on whistle-blowers must end."

My Windows XP laptop computer has crashed and I inserted disk 1 of a Recovery disk I made ages ago when I first had the pc. It has been running now for about 3 hours. How long do they take to run approx? It is working, i.e. the magnifying glass is circling the computer in the middle of the screen. I have never run one before so I do not mind how long it takes, but if it is only a short time then I may be wasting my time. Would welcome the views of any member who may have run them.
How-To Geek Forums / Windows XP
(Solved) - Running XP recovery discs
(38 posts)- Remove Solved Status
Have had several cuppers, its been running since 2.3o this afternoon, now 8 p.m, but the magnifying glass is still revolving around the computer. Forgot to see you mentioned a dust free environment, yes, they have been kept in cases individually. I will just keep it running even leave it overnight, hang the electric bill, but if it is still running in the morning then it must be a glitch somehow. But sometimes these things do take ages and never having done it before I am in the dark as to approximate times. Thanks for your interest.
yes I put no. 1 in, then the Compaq PC Recovery screen came up to say "Backing up User data and Settings" and the mag. glass revolving is all that is on the screen. No other notations appeared as far as i know, but I did pop out of the room just after installing the disk and starting to run the computer.
Hi StringJunky, well at least I am happy at knowing that it may take a long time, which case I will just leave it. As a novice some things happen quick and others take ages, this must be in the latter category, for as I say I have never done it before, it is still whizzing around.
Wish it would ask for disk 2. I should have started it a.m. I May be going to bed late then, but I can't stay up alnight, need my beauty sleep. If the worst comes to the worst if it is really late and it is still running on the first disk, would it be ok to just manually switch off the computer and start again with the disk tomorrow? I know that is not ideal though.
Leave it on all night... it hopefully will be waiting for you to put disk 2 in the morning. If not you can start again and if you get the option second time round installing to NOT save your data, choose that one (if that's ok with you losing it) and it should run loads quicker. Go to bed when it's bedtime AND FORGET ABOUT IT TIL THE MORNING! OK? :) Nothing worse than staying up half the night only to find it failed... better to find out when you wake up refreshed.
I think I bet against this recovery ending anytime soon, so here is my advise in case it goes wrong:
If you have important files inside your computer, and they have not been deleted by this "recovery" attempt, you can use an Ubuntu Live CD to try to rescue those files: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto.....-computer/
You can download the ISO image of Ubuntu Live CD from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop . Select 12.04 (32-bit version), and then on the next page go to the bottom and select "Not now, take me to the download".
Then you should do a clean install of an Operating System. But I don't know how you could legally obtain a Windows XP Media Center installation disk. If you don't have one we'll try to find a way you could get one.
Also, please take into consideration that Windows XP is 11 years old, and support for it ends in April 8, 2014 (that's in 1 year, 4 months and 23 days). Consider upgrading to a newer Operating System, such as Windows 7 or Ubuntu 12.04. If you want, you can download an ISO for a Windows 7 install disk and try it in your computer without a key for 30 days: http://www.askvg.com/direct-do.....nd-64-bit/ . Ubuntu is free, and you can install it from the Live CD i mentioned above.

History and culture is communicated through the generations with songs, poetry and stories providing links to the past. Visitors to Rwanda should catch a cultural performance of dynamic dance and music to appreciate the heritage and identity that is carried by these songs and dances.
There are three main ethnic tribes in Rwanda - Hutu, Tutsi and Twa, each having their similarities and differences. The Twa comprise less than 1% of the population, and are hunter-gatherers, having lived in Rwanda for centuries. The Hutu and Tutsi are not divided by ethnicity but by a social caste system, with the Tutsi traditionally living pastoral lives and being members of the ruling class, and the Hutu traditionally being seen as peasant farmers. This is malleable though, as intermarriage between the two is quite common, so children may have a Hutu father and a Tutsi mother. While this has lead to much division and conflict in the past, Rwanda has more recently enjoyed 15 years of relative harmony, with these ethnic groups living and working alongside each other in peace.
Foreigners and travellers will find most Rwandans live simple lives, devoid of modern conveniences and perhaps it is because of this that Rwandans are known for being friendly, genuine and very accommodating to visitors. Homestays in particular provide valuable insights into the culture of Rwanda.
Geography and Environment of Rwanda
Sharing borders with Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda is a densely populated, landlocked nation. Covered in grassland, mountains and rolling hills, most people in Rwanda live in villages surrounded by farmland. Plantations of cash crops like coffee and tea are common, but small subsistence farming is the main source of income for most Rwandans living in rural areas.
The dense jungles and national parks of Rwanda house many species of animal including gorillas, baboons, chimpanzees and prolific birdlife. Unlike many other African bodies of water, freshwater Lake Kivu is free from crocodiles and hippos, so it's a great spot for swimming, fishing and other recreational activities.
History and Government of Rwanda
Early History
The original inhabitants of Rwanda, the Twa, lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle for centuries before the arrival of the Hutu people. Then the Tutsi brought with them a feudal system of land ownership and society. In 1890 Germany took control of Rwanda, and ruled until 1916 when the Belgians overpowered the German forces during World War I. Under Belgian rule, clashes between the Tutsi and the Hutu were frequent and a precursor to the violence of the 1990s. Independence was granted in 1962, and the Hutu majority came into power. Because of this, Tutsi people were marginalised, with less access to education and employment opportunities. This imbalance created simmering tensions within Rwanda, culminating in armed conflict and displacement of people.
Recent History
In 1994, Rwanda erupted into civil war following the death of the president in a plane crash (the plane was shot by a missile while trying to land in Kigali). Months of bloodshed ensued - it's estimated that close to a million people were killed within a period of 90 days. Millions of Rwandans fled into neighbouring Uganda and Tanzania to escape the violence, murder and looting that had taken over their country. Due to the loss of life and infrastructure caused by the genocide of 1994, many Rwandans today live in poverty. Despite this, Rwanda is currently rising out of hard times to move into the future with increased prosperity and improved living conditions. The economy is slowly improving due to a flourishing tourism industry and a new government that has invested in education and infrastructure.

Fantasy goes dark
As new franchises replace 'Harry Potter' and 'Twilight' a grimmer, more apocalyptic tone haunts the story line.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, which is the fairest young adult franchise of them all?
Skip to next paragraphUp to this year, the answer has been as clear as Windex: "Harry Potter." The boy wizard's journey of self-discovery produced a franchise so successful that it seemed as if it had been charmed by the benevolent wand of a fairy godmother: seven books and eight films, the final installment released last July.
Now that Harry's story is told, Hollywood's major studios are set to release a flood of replacement teen franchises over the next two years that they hope will prove to be just as resilient. While the requisite sword fights, evil beasts, and wise father figures are certain to get screen time, the new slate of entertainment is inviting its audience into worlds that are darker, gorier, and apocalyptic. The hero journey in "Harry Potter" and forbidden love triangle in "Twilight" feel trite among the following:
•"Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," which updates the story of gingerbread-munching waifs with a look at their adult years in which they become vengeful bounty hunters.
•"The Hunger Games," based on the wildly successful teen lit trilogy set in a postapocalyptic future where teens are forced to fight to the death for public entertainment.
•Two versions of Snow White's story: "Mirror, Mirror," a parody featuring Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen, and "Snow White and the Huntsman," a fantasy epic featuring "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart in the title role.
•"Ender's Game," a sci-fi thriller based on the Orson Scott Card series set in a dystopian world that follows a young boy recruited by the military to fight an alien invasion but who later realizes he's participating in genocide.
•"Oz: The Great and Powerful," a prequel to the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" that pits the wizard (James Franco) against three devious witches.
Television is also plundering fairy tales and fantasy literature to deliver darker revisions of the originals. Besides "Grimm," an NBC cop drama featuring characters from the classic tales, viewers can also tune into "Once Upon a Time," a reworking of fairy tales set in the present day on ABC, and "Game of Thrones," an HBO series of medieval fantasy.
Fantasy fare is maturing to correspond with the "Harry Potter" audience, which is older and now hungry for entertainment that is more evolved with a realistic element of danger, says Brad Ricca, who teaches at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and whose book, "Super Boys," a history of Superman, is forthcoming from St. Martin's Press.
" 'Harry Potter' primed its audience for these new types of movies. [Studios are] trying to get at the now older 'Harry Potter' audience, which is looking to somewhere new to eat their popcorn," Mr. Ricca says.

For consumer brands that want to harness - and feel the group hugs from - their community, there's nothing quite like Facebook.
With hundreds of millions of unique users, Facebook offers a ready-made platform for companies to communicate with customers and fans, to support and extend marketing campaigns and to move some of those key brand metrics.
I have collated a few of the best presentations and videos to help you understand exactly why Facebook matters, and what it can do for your business (and how to do it).
The first two presentations in particular provide excellent guidance on how to get the best out of Facebook, as a business, by creating brand pages.
There are a couple videos featuring Facebook's head of brand solutions, who explains how (and why) others are using the social network, and what's on offer. And there's also a video from two Coca Cola fans who set up what has become an unbelievably successful fan page for the company, plus a few other things, including a look at the brands that are already doing well in this area.

Depends on what armour you wear.

Could you not just as well be somewhat clearer? Do you expect a cross examination?

None that I know of Curuinor. Usually, somebody'll post an open question, or comment, of their own and people will respond; like what just happened with you now.
If somebody has a question just for you, you'll probably get a personal message. You'll have a little envelope that flashes beside your board name at the top of your screen, to let you know you've got a message.

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Russian Elite Image of Iran: From the Late Soviet Era to the Present
U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Dmitry Shlapentokh.
Since the late Soviet era, the presence of Iran has loomed large in the minds of the Russian elite. Soon after the end of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)—and even before—increasing numbers of Russian intellectuals became disenchanted with the West, especially the United States, and looked for alternative geopolitical alliances. The Muslim world became one of the possible alternatives. Iran became especially important in the geopolitical construction of Eurasianists or neo-Eurasianists who believed that Russia's alliance with Iran is essential for Russia's rise to power. Yet, by the middle of Russian President Vladimir Putin's tenure, increasing tension with the Muslim community and the rise of Russian nationalism had led to more complicated views of the Russian elite on Iran. At present, the Russian elite does not mind using Iran as a bargaining chip in its dealings with the West, especially the United States, and as a market for Russian weapons and other goods and services. However, the dream of a Russian-Iran axis is apparently abandoned for good.

Julia Gillard once said she would rather be at home watching children learning in a classroom than roaming the international diplomatic stage. This week she'd probably rather be anywhere than the bathroom of her suite at the Waldorf Astoria.
The PM has been struck down with a stomach bug right when she really didn't need one. She's just had to cancel dinner with Barack Obama.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr was sent in her place overnight to deliver a speech Gillard was too sick to give. Did you hear the introduction he got at the business lunch where Gillard was supposed to give a glowing report on our economy? The fellow doing the welcome didn't even know how to say her name.
Carr then went off notes and started talking about "galahs in the pet shops".
To be fair this was only a few hours after Gillard herself gave a press conference where she linked her lobbying efforts in New York this week to coaching a team in this weekend's AFL and NRL Grand Finals.
A couple of years ago I found myself in a gaggle of Washington journos whose full-time beat was the State Department. They seemed to find our bid for one of the rotating spots on the UN Security Council quaintly hilarious. That and the fact our former PM had been booted from his job by his own deputy.
I wonder what they would make of the galahs in a pet shop?
This whole thing is Kevin Rudd's baby, but he doesn't get to look after it any more. Yesterday he was preoccupied with a baby of a different kind, Tweeting the above picture of his granddaughter Josephine.
Do you think he might have been making a point?

Who keeps the bastards honest? and who keeps the b says:
Who knows anymore?
The problem with politics in Australia, is that it is filled with politicians.
Paleoflatus says:
It probably doesn't matter much, which of those two amateur diplomats represents us at the U.N. Either of them is quite capable of making us look a bit silly and incompetent.
JoniM says:
A few days of photo ops with some famous OS people !
Next best thing to taking a week off for Julia !
The polls should improve again !
And it only cost $40m !
But what about the Security Council ?
Who cares ! That's just one of Rudd's silly ego trips !
$40m to buy a bronze medal at the table ! As if the 5 permanent members are going to give Australia any influence in any important decision making !
Alfie says:
"Gillard was supposed to give a glowing report on our economy."
Can't blame her for hiding in the crapper then. Either that or "the dog ate my report".
James says:
The Labor Party's Grand Final metaphor really tells us how stupid the think the general public is. Look, over here, we're fighting our Grand Final tooo, just like yooo!!! FFS Give us a break. These pollies are the real morons.
A complete waste of money in a typically outrageous Labor Party way. Kiss a few more million dollars of tax money way for nothing.
Bob Carr is like an out of date cyborg muttering lines form the 1970's. Julia has worked out that being on the world stage makes here more popular at home. And we have attempted to buy off wonderful democracies like Iran in order to get a seat.
Tell It Like It Is says:
Perhaps she should travel with a 'beefeater' on such excursions. Maybe Kevin has his vaysss…........
John says:
"They [Washington journos] seemed to find our bid for one of the rotating spots on the UN Security Council quaintly hilarious."
Why? The rotating spots are filled by countries that don't have permanent spots. Australia has far more credentials than other countries that have been on it.
"That and the fact our former PM had been booted from his job by his own deputy."
Then they know nothing about the Westminster system, where this of thing happens quite often, and not just in Australia.
American journalists know about America and nothing else.
TChong says:
we ( Ozzies) dont need a seat at the UN, as Oz , historically has been a very willing foot soldier ( often literally ) for Britian , and the US.
What Whitehall and the State Dept decides, is whats best for us.
Both sides of our politics are happy with our foreign policy being enmeshed and subserviant to the US.
Mouse says:
I suppose a lot of Australians wish that she was at home watching children learning in a classroom than roaming the international diplomatic stage too.
Congrats to Kevvie on the birth of Josephine. That's going to be one spoilt little grand daughter I would imagine!! lol :o)
Dick Head says:
Everything is partisan now because the born to rule are not in government and damn should be, always!
Greg says:
The UN will always be a joke when the 5 permanent members can just veto whatever they like without the support of anyone else.
The only way to make them take notice would be to stop exporting our uranium and start making bombs that way we could fit in with the big boys.
Gregg says:
Seems as though it is doing swimmingly well indeed or more like paddling upstream in that barb wire canoe.
Maybe they need Kevins fair shake of the sauce bottle, could be a real humdinger if they put on a sausage sizzle in the forecourt and stay long enough with a big screen for the footy GFs and have a few eskies of cold ones handy.
C says:
I sincerely hope our bid fails. It should fail. It needs to fail. It would be a disaster for Australian foreign policy if it succeeded. We have already been pussy-footing around too frightened to say what should be said and do what should be done for fear of not getting the seat. If we got it we would then be having to abstain from voting in order not to upset one major power of another.
We have been handing out expensive bribes and lining the pockets of corrupt officials. We have been interfering where we should not - all in the name of lobbying for this seat.
Kevin Rudd wanted it ( and to be Secretary-General) and our grossly over-inflated view of our importance in world affairs has caused continued lobbying for it.
The Security Council is a powerless committee where decisions are, more often than not, vetoed by the US, China or Russia. We would be well out of it.
Joan says:
As I wrote before: `the ockers from down under visiting UN - the PM who knifed her way to the top and the unelected foreign minster what a team- Gillard on gender equality reckons more truck driver jobs for women and Carr yacking on about galahs in pet shops - sounded like the original galahs let loose in the UN. ` What a waste of tax payer money sending this act to UN
Hardworker says:
Labor and other left wing political types in Australia have a major inferiority complex and seem to think Australia is bigger than we really are. When Howard was in he focused on regional alliances and bilateral agreements, realising that the UN is a joke and incapable of achieving anything substantial.
Instead of spending millions on bidding for a 1 year security council seat, Gillard should be working on strengthening ties with India and other emerging economies that will help us to forge a balance to our China centric economic policies and that will help Strengthen our strategic position in the Asia Pacific.
Less time pretending to be a superpower and more time acting to protect Australia's interests is what's needed.
Babylon says:
Carr just introduced the 'Gillard Government way' into the International community, saying that the Mining boom was nothing and hinting that Australia does not need it, because it only ever contributed 2 percent of our jobs. Too bad if your jobs in that 2 percent eh?
Well we know these Mining Projects involved Billions of dollars coming into Australia. Typically projects were $50 Million to $30 Billion dollars and as a result the indirect benefit to Australia was estimated as 10 fold. This means the Mining boom contributes about 20 percent of the jobs that were in Australia.
Mining feeds multiple Australian economic sectors: Banking, Finance, Transport, Manufacturing, Fabrication, Administration, media, Construction, Housing, Rental, Retail, the list goes on. Many of these sectors themselves contributing up to 25 percent of our GDP.
So why did he lie? Well he needs You to believe the mining boom was nothing after all, so You do not hold the Gillard Government accountable for destroying the Mining boom through Carbon and MRRT taxes and a stupid war of words with key figures.
While Carr is saying the mining boom is insignificant, Swan is pulling a fastie saying 'commodity prices' are killing Australia's mining boom. But Swan does not realise that we are not that thick, we know Africa is picking up our mining boom and 'commodity prices' are not affecting their start up. If it was a commodity price issue, both countries would be in strife right?
Reuters reported that Africa's biggest economy grew 3.2 percent quarter on quarter. Our Mining boom is now over in Africa, pulling African mining from a minus -16.8 percent downfall in Q1 to plus +32 percent growth by Q2!!!
Wounds the heart does it not Aussie? You should be outraged, not just for Australia and it's people, but for the children and childrens' children, who will now be deprived of this magnificent inheritance.
Carr tried to cover this up by saying our mining boom had 'overspilt' into Africa and that many Australian investors were now in Africa. BHP is now over there big time. But Our boom shrinks while Africa's grows, it's not an overspill but a transfer away from a country with loads of high taxes and a hostile attitude to big business.
Nice spin Mr Carr, but because our mining boom is shrinking, Swan has now been forced to admit a $44 Billion budget deficit and confess he has to 're-do' the Budget entirely, when he only did it 4 months ago!!! whats gone wrong in 4 months?
Where has Swan's predicted profits gone? See Q2 Mining results for Africa , - 16.8 to +31.2 percent!!! From minus 16.8 to plus 31.2 percent in one quarter coinciding with Swan's confession on the budget.
The Gillard Government has driven our Mining boom , the 'envy of the world', hailed as a 'once in a generation phenomenon', over to Africa.
The Gillard Government are spinning tops trying to stop you realising it.
BruceS says:
Thank you Tory. The UN has proven itself to be a corrupt and extremely expensive and ineffective farce. We should be pulling out, not trying to buy our way in.
Bris Jack says:
Rudd the draft stop, just in case Tony thinks he will slide in under the back door.
'Rudd says he is working hard to prevent him [Mr Abbott] from sliding into office through the back door,'' he said".
Zeta says:
I think Australia is the perfect candidate for the Security Council. After all, we have a proud national tradition of flacidly condemning things and then having our concerns over ruled by the interests of China. Now we can flacidly condemn things, and have our concerns over ruled by China AND Russia.
Borderer says:
Here's the thing, we are spending 40mil campaigning for a seat on the UN security council which will mean a New York posting for somebody. We are cutting our defense budget at the same time. The two moves contradict each other unless there is a motive other than that which is stated.
How about we fix our issues rather than borrowing the world's woe?
If they don't get the seat, it's 40mil on literally nothing, if they do get the seat, then we have to pay for someone to live in New York and have zero influence on UN decisions as the permenant seat holders aren't about to change the way they act because some bloke is doing his best Croc Dundee impersonation. It's the old "Hey, look over there, shiny thing!!"
Dry Liberal says:
Well, all I can say is that if Gillard wants to be on the UN Security Council (yes, SECURITY!), then she better stop bloody well cutting back the Military Budget and start right now to re-fund the Defence Force of this country.
If Australia wants other countries in the world to perceive her as a middle power of consequence, then we need a powerful and capable Defence Force able to project our influence into world affairs.
The Defence White Paper 2009 laid out the appropriate way to acquire such capability, and what did the Government do? Absolutely squibbed it.
If we want to be on the UN Security Council, then we must IMMEDIATELY restore Defence Spending in the Federal Government to Howard-era levels of 2% of GDP AT LEAST!
Yes we also need to have a surplus, but we're just going to have to cut back on bloated welfare spending and excessive Public Service jobs numbers to achieve it.
sunny says:
New Zealand wouldn't dare beat us in the rugby while ever we have a seat on the Security Council. I say go for it.
Johnny atheos says:
Is this the same UN that won't ratify The Universal Declaration of Human Rights because many countries in Africa and Middle East see as it as Western cultural imperialism?
Is this the same UN that wants to propose a resolution criminalising the defamation of religion especially the Islamic one and that will make it crime in all countries of world to offend or criticise any religion.
Is this the same UN that has no concept of Freedom from Religion?
''Human rights are not about protecting religions; human rights are to protect humans,'' Courtney Radsch from the non-profit group Freedom House.
Someone maybe should remind Bob Carr, Julia Gillard and the serial apologist for all things UN, Kevin Rudd that Freedom of Speech is more important then, them, the UN, religion and a spot on the Security Council.
If these Islamic blasphemy laws are ratified, this should be a catalyst for like-minded countries that respect the values of Reason and Secular Democracy to leave the UN. If they don't they will be helping enslaving their own people.
Economist says:
This photo should be for the caption comp. according to Bob Carr, "Galah enters baby shop, talks Mandarin"
Babylon says:
Can we afford to pay the $40 Million dollar bribe to stay on the Security Council?
What do we know about security? I thinking Captain Emad making a joke of our Border Security. Are we planning to fight global wars like we promised we would not do after WW2 and Vietnam? I'm sick of Afghanistan and hope we're out soon, last thing I want is our boys marking off to another foreign war.
We are rapidly approaching $300 Billion dollar debt.
We have a $120 Billion dollar budget deficit Black hole.
On top of that the Gillard Government has announced it intends to spend:
$1.3 Billion per year on Asst Child Care
$10.5 Billion per year on NDIS
$6.5 Billion per year on Gronski Reforms
$1.3 Billion per year on Asylum seekers
$35 Billion on subs
$2.1 Billion on Nauru
$4.o Billion on dentalAll these projects, the Gillard Government will not answer the direct question on how they are to be funded? Where is the money to come from?
Surely no more taxes? Australians already work 6 months of the year just to pay all the direct and indirect taxation we suffer currently!
I am serious when I say, how are we going to pay?
Swan has had 4 budget blow outs, this last one has forced him to admit he has to re-do a Budget he only did 4 months ago!
NBN project will now be $30.4 billion, not $27.5 billion.
NBN operating expenditure $26.4 billion not $23.2 billion.With all these budget blow outs on existing projects as well… geeeez, enough is enough Mate
Bris Jack says:
Poor Julia, puts a damper on her swanning around NY or swooning around, the latter I fear.
CJ says:
"A couple of years ago I found myself in a gaggle of Washington journos whose full-time beat was the State Department. They seemed to find our bid for one of the rotating spots on the UN Security Council quaintly hilarious. That and the fact our former PM had been booted from his job by his own deputy."
I wonder what they made of the Bush Jr years?
Karen from Qld says:
Oh well another day another 40 million plus down the crapper. It's only play money after all isn;t it???
stephen says:
The CEO of The Lowy Institute says that a successful bid - and he even said that an unsuccessful bid, but a worthy one - will give this country respect from other nations, and they will sit up and notice us because of our attempt at international responsibility.
Initially, yes, I would agree that we have a nerve, but a further point is that there is nothing at stake if countries in fact ignore our bid, and for this reason, our $40 million is a waste of money.
We are not known, internationally, for anything in particular, and that our PM gets a bellyache right when, probably, Hilary Clinton gets one in the head when Julia leans over and says ... 'can I've a word, Ms. Secretary Of State ?' was most likely the UN's only reason for a grateful response to us.
Al says:
If we actualy got a member on the security council what would be their title?
I have a few options:
The UN security council member of Australia.
The UN Australian security council member.
(Reading as if written un-......... which I am sure the media would love)
cheap white trash says:
So the UN Security Council bid is going well then….
As one Famous Polly said "Unrepresentative swill"and that sums up th UN.
Waste of Time,Space and Money.
Jim says:
Australias potential role at the table has already been tarnished. Mr Carr has already said that Australia has made deals with several current members to vote in their favor no matter what is presented. Why bother then? They are not planning on servicing the worlds interest. Every member on the Council has been targeted in a terrorist attack - why open ourselves up to that?

Two found guilty over £750m fraud
by Michelle Abrego on Jan 16, 2013 at 16:20
Two businessmen, Achilleas Kallakis and Alexander Martin Williams, have been found guilty for defrauding banks, including the Bank of Scotland, of a more than £750 million through deception and forgery.
Kallakis and Williams will be sentenced on 17 January at Southwark Crown Court.
From 2003 to 2008 the two London-based men conspired to defraud Allied Irish Banks by using false or forged documents to obtain substantial loans to finance the purchase a property portfolio. This allowed Kallakis to acquire 16 properties that worth £740 million.
Between 2007 and 2008 Bank of Scotland agreed to a loan of £24 million to Kallakis, which he claimed was for the conversion of a former passenger ferry into a super-yacht for his personal use.
It used a guarantee from Oregon Finance Corporation, which was also based on forged or false letters, and a number of forged documents on Kallakis' family trust. By the time the bank became suspicious only £4.7 million has been advanced.
A third person, Michael Becker, is also alleged to have conspired with the defendants for being closely involved in the fraud and was director of companies presented to the banks in the loan agreements as 'borrowing companies'. He is a Swiss national who has not been charged due to his absence from this jurisdiction.

Matt Smith's face said it all on Saturday.
Following No. 16 Auburn's 11-1 victory at Oxford-University Stadium that wrapped up a three-game sweep of No. 17 Ole Miss, the normally jovial Smith looked like he — and the rest of the Rebels — had just been put through the wringer.
During Auburn's first sweep in Oxford since the 1976 season, the Tigers outscored Ole Miss 34-8.
"Obviously we didn't swing it well and it can't get much worse than what you saw this weekend," said Smith, whose Rebels have scored a total of 24 runs in their last three conference series. "I don't think you can put your finger on one thing in particular. We just didn't hit, that's the bottom line." (May 24, 2010, Page 1B)
