Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
It's not hard to understand why actress Rinko Kikuchi is a Lagerfeld muse: the cheekbones, those bangs, that unmistakable Japanese street style combined with a couture flair. Judging by her makeup at the Madrid premiere of her latest film, Maps of the Sounds of Tokyo, Chanel's artistic director of makeup, Peter Philips, would be wise to take notice, too. Kikuchi wore a layered lip to spruce up a simple black dress, pressing gold pigment on top of a brick red lipstick for texture and a prismatic effect. We'll definitely be looking for her at the Grand Palais this October. Thoughts on the look?
She definitely has a unique look
Wonderful on her!
Awesome for the occasion!
In ll fairness, memorable looks should come with a warning: 'beware of becoming someone else's cheap – possibly illegal – knock-off'. And this one seem eminently memorable.
The warning may not apply to anyone who might find dousing with someone else's scent acceptable. And that's a hell of a disclaimer already.

South Burlington, Vermont - May 29, 2009
Officials at Burlington International Airport are heading to Montreal next week to try and convince airlines to create routes to Burlington.
This expansion effort comes as AirTran plans to scale back service to Vermont in September. Airport officials say they're focusing on five airlines besides AirTrain, who they're trying to convince to stay. American Eagle, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and U.S. Airways will all be courted by BTV officials in 20-minute "speed dating" sales pitches. Even though airlines are struggling right now, officials expect them to expand again once the economy starts bouncing back.

This whole Illya Kovalchuck debacle is absurd. While everyone knows they don't expect Kovie "in good faith" to play well into his forties at the league minimum, the NHL can't wholly expect to prove otherwise. Therefore, the loophole has been found, and this sort of salary cap avoidance will be accepted.I'm willing to bet the deal goes through, and at the ripe age of 37 he "retires" and heads to the KHL.
I propose a change (or fix) which is pretty simple. During the next CBA they should set maximum salary deviations from a player's cap hit. For instance, if that number were 25% and a player's cap hit was 4 million, at no point throughout the life of the contract would this player's salary go below 3 million or above 5. Enough of these front loaded garbage contracts, they undermine the purpose of the salary cap in the first place. I, personally, hate the salary cap, but if you're going to have one, do it right.

Series 99
Chapter 3: General Supervision - D. Annual Compliance Review
Annual Compliance ReviewAt least once per year the member must conduct a compliance review of each OSJ and each registered representative. Branch offices are not required to be directly reviewed. When the member reviews the OSJ, the member is automatically inspecting the activities of the branch offices under the jurisdiction of the OSJ.
Business Continuity PlanOne of the regulations developed as a result of the attack on 9/11 is the requirement for FINRA member firms to develop and maintain plans and back up facilities to ensure that the firm can meet its obligations to its customers and counterparties in the event that its main facilities are damaged, destroyed or are inaccessible. The plan must provide for alternative means of communication as well as a data backup. The plan must be approved by a senior member of the firm's management team and must provide plans to ensure customers have access to their funds. The plan must be provided to FINRA upon request and must identify two members of senior management as emergency contacts, one of which must be a registered principal with the firm.
Currency TransactionsAll member firms must guard against money laundering. Every member must report any currency receipt of $10,000 or more from any one customer on a single day. The firm must fill out and submit a currency transaction report also known as Form 4789 to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) within 15 days of the receipt of the currency. Multiple deposits that total $10,000 or more will also require the firm to file a currency transaction report (CTR). Additionally, the firm is required to maintain a record of all international wire transfers of $3,000 or greater.
The Patriot ActThe Patriot Act requires broker dealers to have written policies and procedures designed to detect suspicious activity. The firm must designate a principal to ensure compliance with the firm's policies and to train firm personnel. The firm is required to file a Suspicious Activity Report for any transaction of more than $5,000 that appears question¬able. Anti-money-laundering rules require that all firms implement a customer identification program to ensure that the firm knows the true identity of their customers. All customers who open an account with the firm, as well as individuals with trading authority, are subject to this rule. The firm must ensure that its customers do not appear on any list of known or suspected terrorists. A firm's anti-money-laundering program must be approved by senior management.
U.S. AccountsEvery member must obtain from U.S. customers:
- A social security number/documentation number
- Date of birth
- Address
- Place of business
Foreign AccountsAll non-U.S. customers must provide at least one of the following:
- A passport number and country of issuance
- An alien ID number
- A U.S. tax ID number
- A number from another from of government-issued ID and the name of the issuing country

South Florida's once-moribund housing market has rallied, with bidding wars pitting investors against first-time buyers in a chaotic race for a limited supply of homes.
But amid the frenzy comes a concern: Are prices rising too fast?
For much of the past year, Broward and Palm Beach counties have seen double-digit median price increases for existing homes. The January medians jumped by more than 20 percent in both counties compared with a year ago. Traditionally, the typical home appreciates at about 4 percent annually.

In Spain these are known as cazuelas and are a classic cooking utensils.
Brown pottery which is half glazed inside the dish leaving the half the outside unglazed. They come in all sizes and are very hardwearing and practical as well as having a rustic charm. They are all dishwasher proof, oven proof and are often used directly over a flame before being transferred to the oven.
Cazuelas can be used on the BBQ, gas hob, in the oven, or just for display. Remember to soak your cazuela in water for 2 hours before you use it the first time - and you will get years of great service.
Sizes range from 10cm to 40cm, and prices range from £1.90 to £28.00.

I was on my 4th or 5th Maker's but it made sense at the time.
Four super conferences of 24 teams
Each conference has two 12 team divisions
Each division has two 6 team subdivisions.
Let's take the BIG PAC…
Split into East – West divisions and then those are split into North – South subdivisions. Can you see it? Looking familiar? Say KSU is in the North sub of the East Division...or the Northeast Division? We'll work on it.
So each subdivision plays their teams (5 games) and 3 from the other sub in a cycle (8 games) then pick one team from the other division to manufacture a "rivalry" (that gets you to 9 games and I pick Arizona State, sometimes their good but usually bad and a trip to Scottsdale every other year in November for "Rivalry Day" is good for the soul) and 2 non conference games (11).
Then! The North and South Champs play for the East Division Championship (12). Winner of that plays the winner in the West to be the BIG PAC Champ (13).
The 4 conference champs are seeded by record and 1 plays 4, 2 plays 3 (14) unless there are 2 undefeated teams then 1 plays 3, 2 plays 4. Why? I don't remember, but we argued this over and over and this is agreement prevented warring against a small island nation.
Those winners play for the big enchilada (15 game season for those in the final).
Everyone get's a minimum of 12 games…those that don't play in the "playoff" play in a bowl.
96 teams get to stay in the BCS…which is why those that remain get to play in a bowl even with a losing record as 16 of them will be in the playoff. There's got to be 40 bowls, right?
So who are the 24 that get dropped?

Item: The Role of Bacterial Protein for Snowmaking and as an Antifreeze
Title: The Role of Bacterial Protein for Snowmaking and as an Antifreeze
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 1994 International Snow Science Workshop, Snowbird, Utah, USA
- David A. Lind [ Department of Physics, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO ]
Date: 1994
Abstract: Since making of artificial snow for ski area application is now widely practiced at most major resorts, an understanding of the basis for the process is desirable for ski professionals. An outline of the supercooling of liquid water and the ordering transition necessary to form the crystalline state will be presented. Natural and inorganic nucleating agents do the job but rather inefficiently. Depending on water droplet size natural agents will nucleate ice at 18°F on the average, while bacterial proteins are effective at 25°F to 28°F. Thus snow can be made more efficiently and the liquid water content may be controlled for the application. This paper will address some the engineering as well as environmental concerns of snow making. Related to this discussion is the prevention of nucleation and growth of ice in biological fluids or plant structures. A brief survey will show how similar proteins prevent ice crystal growth in living tissue as well as the application for preservation of frozen food products.

Let me just get straight to the awesome news and not talk around it...
Later this year wet n wild will be releasing a new ColorIcon 8-pan eyeshadow palette...ALL MATTE! For lovers of matte eyeshadows, like myself, this is huge news. I'm so excited for it!
All of the details haven't been released yet but what I do know is that it'll be Limited Edition and released later this fall at selected retailers.
Now with this exciting news, there is also some disappointing news. wet n wild is discontinuing the ColorIcon 6-pan palettes. If you haven't picked them up, or have a favorite, you might want to stock up while you can. You do still have time though. The discontinuation date is set for January 2012.
Anyone else excited for this matte palette?
Awesome News from wet n wild!

Kansas City Chiefs
Mike DeVito - DE
|6' 3"/ 305 lbs.
|Wellfleet, MA
|Years played
Chiefs' fantasy questions for the offseason
With the offseason upon us, fantasy football owners have some questions about the Chiefs.
Chiefs finalize coaching staff
The Chiefs have finalized Romeo Crennel's coaching staff for the 2012 season, including the retention of QB coach Jim Zorn.
Steelers hire Haley
The Steelers have hired Todd Haley as the team's new offensive coordinator.
With Daboll aboard, Cassel looks like Chiefs top QB
There will be an open quarterback job with the Chiefs this offseason, but based on the hiring of offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Matt Cassel is expected to remain the starter.
Reports: Chiefs hire Daboll as OC
The Chiefs have hired Brian Daboll as their new offensive coordinator, according to reports by ESPN and NFL Network.
Chiefs OC Muir calls it quits
Bill Muir dedicated nearly half a century to the game of football. Now, the Chiefs' offensive coordinator is ready to hang up his headset.
Chiefs name McMahon special-teams coach
The Chiefs named Tom McMahon the club's special-teams coach on Monday.
Emery named Bears' new GM
Former Bears area scout Phil Emery, most recently the Chiefs' director of college scouting, is returning to Chicago, this time as the team's general manager.
Nose tackle needed to solidify Chiefs defense
The Chiefs are pretty set on defense, but have a major need for a nose tackle to anchor the middle of the unit.
Crennel passes his test to become Chiefs' head coach
The final three weeks of the 2011 season showed the Chiefs' front office and roster that Romeo Crennel was the right man for the head-coaching job.
Chiefs need offensive coordinator to get to next level
The hiring of Romeo Crennel makes sense for the Chiefs, but he will only be successful if the team also finds an offensive coordinator to pair with him.
Crennel hired as Chiefs' head coach
The Chiefs will officially announce Romeo Crennel as their next head coach at a press conference on Monday afternoon.
Report: Chiefs to retain Crennel as head coach
The Chiefs plan to retain Romeo Crennel as head coach and remove the interim tag from his title.
Chiefs counting on healthy Charles and Moeaki
If the Chiefs are to return to the playoffs next season, they will need their offense to improve. They will rely on a healthy Tony Moeaki and Jamaal Charles to help bolster the attack.
Even with loss, Broncos win AFC West
Former Bronco Kyle Orton got his revenge in leading the Chiefs to a 7-3 win over Denver on Sunday, but it's the Broncos who clinched the AFC West and are headed to the postseason.
Kansas City agreed Tuesday to a four-year, $16 million deal with former Dolphins tight end Anthony Fasano, a three-year, $12.6 million contract with DeVito, and a three-year deal with former Saints backup quarterback Chase Daniel.||||||| DeVito had been with the Jets.
The Jets have restructured DeVito's contract, reducing the veteran player's salary this season after drafting Quinton Coples in the first round.||||||| According to NFL Players Association records, DeVito will earn a fully guaranteed base salary of $700,000 instead of his scheduled $2.26 million in the final year of a three-year extension. But the 27-year-old DeVito will receive several bonuses that will make his total salary about $2.5 million this season - $610,000 less than he was originally supposed to receive. The new deal includes a $750,000 escalator that he can earn based on playing time.
DeVito was inactive for Sunday's game with Kansas City because of sprained left knee.||||||| This move was not unexpected.
Moore sat out practice Wednesday with an injury.||||||| DeVito missed last Sunday's against Washington with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and coach Rex Ryan says he's "very, very doubtful" this week.
DeVito is inactive versus Buffalo..||||||| DeVito, a starter at defensive end, missed the Jets' last game before the bye-week break against San Diego with a knee injury. Coach Rex Ryan said on Monday he'd be "shocked" if DeVito didn't play against the Bills, but says Wednesday that the team will know more Thursday if he can practice and isn't experiencing soreness.

Recently I asked TET for your thoughts on the Pac-10 and Pac-10 related issues. Today I come to you with predictions. I listed the Out of Conference games for the SEC, then made guesses regarding the outcomes. I am quite certain my predictions will be wrong as although I am a fan of college football, it is hard to keep pace with 120 differents teams, and my heart and knowledge base lays within the Pac-10 (my having a 'knowledge base' is debatable). In any case, I am seeking knowledge, so please respond.
For each game I rated it as either: Definite Win, Probable Win, 50/50, Probable Lose, Definite Loss. These are guesses based primarily on nothing more than a hunch. Let me know if you agree, disagree, wish I would keep my thoughts to myself.
If you are curious, here is the link to my Pac-10 Projections
In Alphabetical Order: (Wins - Losses - 50/50)
Virginia Tech (Neutral Site) - 50/50
Florida International - Definite Win
North Texas - Definite Win
Chattanooga - Definite Win
If I had to chose a winner between V. Tech and Alabama I'd choose the latter, but since I gave myself the 50/50 option I'm taking it.
Missouri St. - Definite Win
Texas A&M (Neutral Site) - Probable Win
Eastern Michigan -Definite Win
Troy - Definite Win
I think Arkansas is going to be better this year. It seems they struggled adapting to the new coach at the beginning of last year, but improved drastically over the second half (I still love the beat down they gave Tulsa). However, I don't think they will be good enough to challenge for the SEC West.
Lousianan Tech - Definite Win
West Virginia - 50/50
Ball St. - Probable Win
Furman - Definite Win
The only reason I'm saying Ball St is a probable and not definite win, is their success last year, this makes them an unkown to me. If they play 5 times, I think Auburn wins at least 4. As for West Virginia they, like Auburn, are tough to gauge as you are both undergoing coaching and structural changes (West Virginia's change is life without both Rich Rod (One year removed) and Pat White).
Charleston Southern - Definite Win
Troy - Definite Win
Florida International - Definite Win
Florida St. - Probable Win
With FSU I have adopted a 'skeptical until proven otherwise' approach regarding their ability reassert themselves as a dominant college football team. As for Florida, they are definitely among the best.
At Oklahoma St - 50/50
Arizona St. - Definite Win
Tennessee Tech - Definite Win
At Georgia Tech - Probable Loss
Georgia is going be good, but they are losing a lot of star power. At least, they scheduled some quality OOC games.
At Miami (OH) - Probable Win
Louisville - Probable Win
Louisiana-Monroe - Definite Win
Eastern Kentucky - Definite Win
I know Kentucky was above average in '07, and had a good D in '08. 2009? Don't know much about them, but their OOC is weak.
At Washington - Definite Win
Louisiana-Lafayette - Definite Win
Tulane - Definite Win
Louisiana Tech - Definite Win
Winner of the Missing Cajones Award regarding scheduling, you might say they figured Washington would at least be decent. But, they scheduled them midway through last season, so they knew they'd be an easy victory.
At Memphis - Probable Win
Southeastern Louisiana - Definite Win
UAB - Definite Win
Northern Arizona - Definite Win
Northern Arizona? Granted its a money game, but you can't find a team closer to home to play?
Jackson St. - Definite Win
Georgia Tech - Probable Loss
Houston - Probable Win
At Middle Tennessee St. - Definite Win
I hear Houston is supposed to be pretty good this year, but I am generally doubtful of non-BCS conferences not named the Mountain West.
At North Carolina St. - 50/50
Florida Atlantic - Definite Win
South Carolina St - Definite Win
Clemson - 50/50
I think North Carolina St is going to be decent to good, and don't know what to make of Clemson after their disappointing season and subsequent coaching change.
Western Kentucky - Definite Win
UCLA - Probable Win
Ohio - Definite Win
Memphis - Probable Win
I don't think Tennessee is going to be that good, but looking at their OOC schedule who can beat them? Furthermore, who can beat them at home?
Western Carolina - Probable Win
At Rice - Probable Win
At Army - Definite Win
Georgia Tech - Probable Loss
Vanderbilt has built themselves up to medicority over the past few years. I think this trend will continue.
Some concluding stats:
Totals: (40-3-5)
The SEC again plays a mostly boring OOC schedule, sorry, didn't mean to harp. The home/away/neutral break down is as follows: 38, 8, 2. The SEC should finish somewhere between 45-3 and 40-8. In either case, the numbers sound good, but there are a lot of cupcakes. Ironically all three losses are at the hands of Georgia Tech. I don't think Georgia Tech is going to be amazing, but they have the upper hand in those match-ups (I think). Similarly, the head-to-head match-up between the SEC and Pac-10 should finish 3-0 in favor of the SEC. I don't believe the SEC is a vastly superior conference (you are very good, and I'm not saying the Pac-10 is better, just that the gap isn't as large as 3-0 record might suggest), rather look at the match-ups. The 3 teams Pac-10 teams participating won an average of 3 games last season, and the better two are on the road. Of the 5 50/50 games I would say that the Alabama/Virgia Tech match-up is the most important as both have Top Ten aspirations, and likely pits two Top 3 teams from either conference head to head.
Anyways, feel free to correct me....

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Fifth Resident Evil movie offers nothing new, but it still makes zombie-slaying look sexy
Been there, killed that
GIVEN that the Resident Evil franchise is the most lucrative of all video-game-based movies, one must grudgingly admire how these films manage to be so successful.
Let's face it, Resident Evil riddles bullets into narrative coherence and fires grenade launchers at conventional notions of plot and character.
Resident Evil No. 5, subtitled " Retribution" (for no other reason than it looks good on a poster) may be the most incomprehensible entry of all.
It's going to make millions.
Milla Jovovich, playing the indestructible warrior woman Alice, is likely the best explanation for why the franchise remains watchable. Clad in form-fitting black and wielding an assortment of exotic armory, the Ukrainian- born beauty is an all-American cultural symbol — sex and death in a tantalizing two-for-one package. If she happens to be vanquishing enemies in the same painstakingly choreographed way she's done in the last four movies, well, you still can't take your eyes off her.
That helps us navigate through Retribution's wonky plot, which begins where the fourth one left off. Alice is on a retooled aircraft carrier, battling dozens of military minions of the Umbrella Corporation, the sinister multinational that unleashed the apocalyptic T-virus. She is blown into the water.
The next thing we know, Alice awakens in a nice suburban home, taking care of her deaf daughter (Aryana Engineer) and packing off her hunky hubby (Oded Fehr), whom we knew in past movies as Carlos, one of Alice's fellow warriors. Suddenly, the film's trademark diseased zombies attack.
What gives?
Alice awakens again, back in warrior- woman mode. She is tortured by none other than Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory), a former confederate brainwashed into assisting the Umbrella Corporation.
But just as things are looking their bleakest, Alice finds doors opened for her, and she makes her way into the streets of Tokyo just as the T-virus is beginning to turn citizens into malevolent, flesh-ripping zombies.
It turns out the guy who has freed Alice is her nemesis and Umbrella's fiendish No. 1 guy Albert Wesker (Shawn Roberts). Apparently, he and Umbrella's computer overlord the Red Queen have parted ways, and he offers Alice's only hope of survival, navigating through a multitude of cityscapes (also including Moscow and New York) to freedom.
Got that? Me neither.
Adding to the confusion, Alice keeps encountering people who were killed in previous movies, including the hardbitten soldier Rain (Michelle Rodriguez) from the first film, once an ally and now a fierce enemy.
Why? For no other reason than Rodriguez smiling fiendishly is as intrinsically cinematic as Jovovich swinging a chain at a zombie attacker.
The key to understanding this movie is understanding its director Paul W.S. Anderson, the guy who wrote all the Resident Evil movies and directed most of them.
Anderson's directorial debut back in 1994 was titled Shopping and it was about "ram-raiding," a practice wherein teens would steal cars and crash them into shop windows to steal the merchandise.
Anderson has been ram-raiding other movies ever since. Watch how his 1997 film Event Horizon lifts tropes from everything from Don't Look Now to The Exorcist. See how the first Resident Evil borrowed from the low-budget Canadian thriller Cube or the even more obscure bio-zombie thriller Warning Sign.
In that context, it is not surprising the opening suburban setup of Retribution closely resembles the opening scenes of Zack Snyder's 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead, in which a nice quiet suburban abode is suddenly invaded by vicious zombies. It worked once. Why shouldn't it work again?
At least Anderson borrows from quality. It almost redeems his films, which are well-produced and fun to watch, even if there's not an original moment in any of them.
Resident Evil No. 6 is presumably in the planning stages. One hopes Anderson's bank account is sufficiently stocked that he can wrap up this nonsense for good.

About Randall King
In a way, Randall King was born into the entertainment beat.
His dad was Winnipeg musician Jimmy King, a one-time columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press. One of his brothers is a playwright. Another is a singer-songwriter.
Randall has been content to cover the entertainment beat in one capacity or another since 1990.
His beat is film, and the job has placed him in the same room as diverse talents, from Martin Scorsese to Martin Short, from Julie Christie to Julia Styles. He has met three James Bonds (four if you count Woody Allen), and director Russ Meyer once told him: "I like your style."
He really likes his job.

Perfect pass for students
8:57am Wednesday 20th June 2012 in Youth Sport By Echo Reporter
DORCHESTER Martial Arts boasted a 100 per cent pass rate at their latest grading.
Junior members led the way, displaying their skills in front of visiting instructor Bob Spour.
And club instructor Luke Mannion was delighted with their efforts.
He said: "The children's assessment was an hour long.
"They did a warm-up, a bit of a workout, a lot of work on the pads practising their techniques and then a scaled-down sparring session.
"After that they were given their belts and certificates and I'm pleased to say they all passed, which is great.
"We also had an assessment for the adult members of the club and everyone who was put in for assessment passed as well.
"Both the children and the adults did really well and the standard was very high. My instructor Bob Spour, who came down from Birmingham, was really impressed with everyone."
Anyone interested in joining the club, can visit dorchestermartialarts.com or contact Mannion on 07939584113 for more information.

Jailbreaking a smartphone means fiddling with its OS so you can load the applications of your choice, bypassing the requirement to download digitally signed apps only from, say, Apple's iTunes App Store. Opinions tend to be binary: Either jailbreaking is an unalloyed act of end user liberation and empowerment, or it's the Digital Apocalypse.
Recently, Apple quietly and without explanation disabled a new API, introduced in iOS 4.0, intended to be used in discovering whether an iOS device had been jailbroken. Software vendors of mobile management applications insist they can, and do, use other techniques to discover that. (Apple has published a list of problems encountered by iOS users who have jailbroken their devices.)
[ InfoWorld's Galen Gruman shows how some Android devices lie about their security compliance. | Stay ahead of advances in mobile technology with InfoWorld's Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
Apple's decision sparked a new round of debate over jailbreaking, but without shifting the binary terms in which the debate has been framed. We went into more details about jailbreaking and the enterprise with Jeremy Allen, a principal consultant with Intrepidus Group, a consulting firm specializing in mobile security. Allen has a background in security and application development, and he focuses on iOS and applications that run on it.
Q: Some will argue that jailbreaking iOS is a right, not a risk. How do you see it?
A: My general thought on it is that, as shipped, iOS devices add a lot of security due to the code signing of everything on the device. When you live and play in the "Walled Garden of Steve," as I have seen it called, you get a lot of benefits for that ... The problem I have is that, usually, big organizations don't let users have administrative privileges on corporate-owned devices [such as laptops], so why would we be letting users have them on a corporate-owned iPad?
Q: What does code signing bring to the table for mobile security?
A: Code signing is a pretty giant roadblock to malware.
On a Windows PC, when you download a program from the Internet, you get a popup that tells you "publisher: unknown" or "publisher: Adobe" and so on. Windows figures that out through code-signing -- the code publisher gets a certificate from Verisign, and "signs" the code. That lets you, as the developer, prove you're the author of the code and that it's trustworthy.

With a number of political matters looming on the horizon, I thought it was worth providing pointers to some of my past posts that remain relevant to current political issues.
The next year will see elections in the Northern Territory, the ACT and Western Australia. Websites for all three will be published over the next few months. In the meantime I have already published analysis of the new electoral boundaries in both the Northern Territory and Western Australia. (Links at the end of this post.)
There is also heightened possibility of an early Federal election for the House of Representatives held separate from a half-Senate election. There is also continuing discussion on whether the Coalition can win control of the Senate if the Labor government manages to last until the end of its term.
Federal redistributions have been completed in both Victoria and South Australia and I have updated by 2013 Federal electoral pendulum using figures from the Parliamentary Library. You can find the new pendulum with margins for all seats at http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/2011/09/2013-australian-electoral-pendulum.html.
A new federal election calculator using this pendulum will be available shortly.
Poor polls and on-going political difficulties for the Gillard government are increasing the likelihood that the current parliament will not last until the end of its term in the second half of 2013.
If the current Labor government falls and an early Federal election is called, it will be for only the House of Representatives along with four Senators representing the ACT and Northern Territory. It is constitutionally impossible to hold a half-Senate election for state Senators before August 2013.
I previously covered when an election could be held in this post. http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/2011/08/when-can-an-election-be-held.html
As only the four Territory Senators face the electorate at an early House election, the rest of the Senate remains in place until 30 June 2014. Making the assumption based on polls that the Coalition would win an early election, the new Abbott government would face the current Senate controlled by Labor and the Greens.
A half-Senate election would then have to be held some time between late 2013 and May 2014. The new government could call an early House election to keep terms in line, or allow a separate half-Senate election to be held on its own for the first time since 1970.
Much more likely is that an Abbott government elected at a separate House election would set out to get one or more double dissolution triggers that would allow it to hold a double dissolution election in place of the half-Senate election.
The dissolution of both the House and the Senate for a double dissolution cannot take place in the last six months of the term of the House. In the current Parliament that means before 27 March 2013. The double dissolution election could be held up to nine weeks after that date. This is extremely unlikely to occur.
However, an early House election re-sets the cut-off date for a double dissolution for two years and six months after the House first sits after the election. An early House election would force an Abbott government to live with the existing Senate, but would also give it much greater flexibility to engineer a double dissolution for late 2013 or the first half of 2014.
I have not written a post on the possible outcome of a double dissolution election as it would require speculation on the various levels of party support 6-12 months into the term of an Abbott government.
However, I have written a post on the possibility of the Coalition winning control of the Senate if the current Labor government lasts through until the second half of 2012 and calls a normal House and half-Senate election.
It is very tough for the Coalition to win control of the Senate via a half-Senate election, but all the possibilities can be found at the following post. http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/2011/09/can-the-coalition-win-control-of-the-senate-through-a-half-senate-election.html.
Returning to state and territory matters.
You can find the new seats for the redrawn boundaries in the Northern Territory at the following post. http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/2011/07/northern-territory-electoral-boundaries-finalised.html. Note that since I published this post, former Labor turned Independent MP Alison Anderson has moved further along the political spectrum by joining the CLP, making the current numbers Labor 12, CLP 12 and an Independent.
Full calculations for the new electoral boundaries in Western Australia can be found at http://www.abc.net.au/elections/wa/2013/redistribution.htm
Don't forget that this weekend I will also be providing analysis of the Tasmanian Legislative Council elections at http://www.abc.net.au/elections/tas/2012/legislativecouncil/

Digital Electric Radiator
Product Reviews Add your own review
I have had this particular unit for 2 years now. This winter (2010/2011) will be the third season I have used it.
Heats up very fast and provides a VERY warm and comfortable environment even on the worst of winter days. Completely fills the room with even, warm heat.
I love the adjustable power selection and thermostat controls.
The castor wheels provide wonderful a wonderful and easy way to move from room to room.
Safety is outstanding as there are NO exposed elements
Best 'radiator / oil filled' heating unit I have ever bought.
I purchased a ceramic heater before this and that was directional and hard to use in my 1900 home. After much research I decided to get this oil-filled heater. BEST PURCHASE EVER. My bedroom was on a regular basis 45 degrees in the winter and I would put this on a timer and have it shut off during the day. Would recommend placing a bowl of water in your room to ensure you don't over dry the room or yourself. I would suggest this, and have, to any friend.
This heater is beautiful and functional. Heats very quickly and holds temp well. And what a GREAT price!! Ships fast as lightning. I highly recommend.
This is the second honeywell I have purchased. They do a superb job heating larger areas than the specs show. The large room temp readout is lacking on a lot of high-end models and the controls are intuitive. I am considering getting another one to save on heating another area of my home. With the cost of propane due to soar (along with gas prices), these little gems are a god sent. If you need a heater of this type, IMO, you can't do better.
This is the 2nd Honeywell heater I have purchased from Kaz. I like this particular heater because of it's features and it is a good value for the money. These little heaters can and do heat a much larger space than they are rated at as long as your home is well insulated. The thermostat works on all three heat settings and it keeps the room I use it in very comfortable. Very pleased with this product.

I have a room that's always the coldest in the house. It faces north and has 3 large windows. Great light for the house plants but without this heater, they'd freeze!
The Honeywell HZ-709 does a GREAT job of heating and maintaining the warmth in this room. (It's winter and I have 2 orchids about to bloom, miniature rose trees that are full of blooms, and very healthy foliage plants.) I also use this room as my office and I used to freeze in here.
All of this is due to the heat provided by the Honeywell heater. I can turn my central heating much lower than before and it has turned on a lot less than before I bought the Honeywell heater.
This was a very good purchase.
Pros: Consistent warmth, save money, great comfort, makes almost no audible noise
Cons: Kicking myself for not buying the heater sooner
Our Honeywell HZ 709 oil heating unit is brand new today, so we are just starting to use it. We do have an older Honeywell oil heating unit too that is still working well after many years. We have about 3,000 square foot of living space in our home and with the high cost of heating now days, we will supplement heating the home with both of the Honeywell oil units.
Thank you!
This is in addition to another Honeywell Electric Radiator Heater. Just what the Dr. ordered. Works great!!
A great heater, and very reliable when heating my livingroom and dineing room area. It is very cold and I am very satified with this heater and its performance.
We never bought a space heater before but this one is amazing. It is able to warm up an entire upstairs in only a few minutes and its easy to use an safe as well.
Easy to setup for use. Providing nice heat for a small room. Very quiet and easy to use.
I live in frigid Colorado, and this unit heats my bedroom perfectly. The digital thermostat keeps it +/- 3 degrees. The handle on the front makes it easy to move while still hot if need be. This unit makes almost no noise, and has never disturbed my sleep. I love the idea of no moving parts, and I anticipate this product will last me at least a decade.
The auto shut-off for the temputure is great. A peace of mind when your away from home and worrie about your heater being to high.
Very user friendly, easy to use. Attractive style I like that you can set temperature by one degree at a time. Three settings from low, med, to high, makes the room warm and safe to use.
I love this radiartor heater. It's very easy to setup and use. The thermostat is accurate.
Bought Unit for Large Master Bedroom. Heats up nicely and is very quiet. No Paint Burnoff odors as reported with other brands.
I had a number of heaters but none of them performed as well as this one. The settings allow me to set the time and temp. No noise with unit.
just got it, easy to put together,instructions easy,so far so good. it is heating nicely at this point.
Very well engineered and thought-out
A seemingly well built
Good Performance
Good Manual
Good Website info
Quiett, heats up whole bathroom, energy efficient; much better than heaters with fans.
I had purchaised other oil heaters they burned out after a few uses, and they were an eye sore, they did not look as nice. The black exterior and lighted digital dials make this item's appearance apealing and very nice to look at. As soon as I plugged the heater in and turned it on it began to work. I like it alot, looking forward to using it for at least a few years.
Bought it for our bedroom. The digital programming it has is a nice feature. It's silent operation is another thing we like. It keeps the room comfortably warm, getting up and getting ready is more pleasant now!
the product works well .easy to put together, easy to set up, and provides a impressive appearance
Heater works perfect for where we need it. Heats up fast and makes no noise at all. Very pleased with our purchase.
We love this heater. It is energy efficient and warms our room very well. We have bought two of them. One has lasted several years. The other lasted less than a year but was replaced as it was still under warranty. Great product, great company.
Purchased one of these last year and it served my purpose very well. This is now a second heater. A small fan on the floor behind it distributes the heat and improves efficiency.
real happy with the oper, but now i need to repair it after diag. seams like the control board is inop.think you so much.
Love these heaters. This is my second one. So easy to use and affordable. I have heard that the plug in sometimes gets hot. Easily avoided by running the heater on medium and setting it for 4 or 5 hours at a time, turn off when out of the home.
I appreciate how quickly I rec'd this product. Thank You
Still working with this unit but I have high expectations & so far I am very satisfied. If there is a way to follow-up I would be happy to let you know of the outcome of my experience.
Thank You
Well, four weeks in and this heater is leaking oil....It worked great for a while, never been moved, knocked over or abused in any way - it just started making puddles on the floor (glad it's in a room with vinyl flooring). I'm not too concerned because Honywell has always been great about replacing their defective products. So, will not complain except for the bad luck!
Very good product. I have a wide downstairs area that isn't heated much by my air system. This heater warms up fast and covers the whole space. So pleased with this product!
I use my 709-710 to heat a sun room and this heater surprised me in its ability to handle this 16 x 16 foot square room with wall to wall insulated windows. My old gas fired floor furnace provided 35,000 btu (input) when it died this fall after 30 plus years and I cannot find repair parts for it. I plugged up this heater and set it to max settings, but found it made the room too warm! (I have not tested it yet in reall cold weather, but believe it will keep the room warm enough overnight to protect my house plants).
My only complaint is that the timer function can only be set for continuous use by turning the power off and the back on, re-setting the heat and temperature controls (don't touch the center timer control if you want continuous use!).
A big improvement would be to provide a continuous run setting on the center timer control after the 18 hour setting.
Since natural gas is priced higher and electricity is lower in the winter here, it will be interesting to see if switching to electerial heat will be less expensive. Stay tuned!
I have had this heater for two years, for my sun room which is about 10X12. And it keeps it warm at 69 degrees all winter, and is easy to progrm.
I just purchased the heater, but upon its first use, I'm really impressed. There's very little setup involved, it's very quiet and easy to use. The automatic shut off and timer function make for a really functional item. You do need to be careful to keep your toddlers away, because this type of heater is not cool to the touch.
My 3 issues are the wheels are too cheap they break too easy and not option to change the default settings when is turn on is on High and 70 Degrees I will prefer Low and 68 Degrees last it gets pretty hot hotter than the conventional oil heaters.
I like the digital settings and that shutdowns by itself and that works pretty well too.
The Honeywell HZ-709 heater seems to work well. I would recommend it as being so far as a good product.
Easy to put together, control panel is easy to operate. Need to wait for the cold weather to set-in before we'll know just how good it does but so far not disappointed.
After trying a few other heaters to warm up an unheated breezeway, I tried this radiator style heater and it solved the problem. A comfortably warm room, without hearing a fan clicking on and off and only getting heat in a few areas of the room. It holds a constant temp, is silent and seems to be easy on electricity. I would recommened it to a friend.
My heater broke late in the p.m. & my son ran to get a unit a Target. Only two of these units left so he grabbed one. All we had to do was put the legs on the bottom and we were ready to go! Instructions are very easy and the heater works well. Only thing I don't like is I find the cord too short and the unit is not to be used with an extension cord so you can't get the maximum use by moving the unit away from the walls.
To early to tell if will do the necessary heating. If it works as well as some of the others we have used it will be fine.
I was amaze how precise assemble and operating instruction was, also ease of operation. However there is no information about the Tip-Over Switch except it is mention on the box
This is a very sleek unit and easy to move around with the nice handle in the front. It takes a little white to heat up, but once it is hot it keeps the room warm. The only things I would add would be a little longer cord and a fan would be nice. Good unit for the money. The timer is a nice option.
I have never used one of this type of Heater system needed on and I decided to try it, so
far it seems to be ok.

I owned and used the Model HZ-709 oil filled electric heat for 7 years. Just recently the heater's on and off switch seems to have stuck to the on position. The heater operated with an auto on and of thermostat feature which seems to have failed, and heater does not shut off when desired temperature is reached.
I like it. It heats the area I wanted heated. I just got it a few hours ago and it is heating up the dining, living room area that seems to stay cool. I shall see how it works when it gets below zero here in the northland.
The Honeywell HZ-709 space heater was purchased for my daughter's room. She uses it almost daily during the cold months. It has made her a much happier person in the mornings being able to wake up nice and warm!
The product is great, it will be exellent if it has internal clock and on/of programable time.
Initial reaction is that it is a good heater. Does not take up much space. Heats up quickly. The various features such as automatic shut-off timer and temperature setting based on degrees are very convenient. Digital display shows the curent room temp as will as what temp the thermostat is set to in addition to Low, Medium or High setting. Welcome improvements to a tried and true heater style.
I have had many different oil-filled radiator heaters over the past few years to help keep the bathroom warm in winter. This heater not only looks great in black it cranks the heat out. I love that it keeps the room at an overall average temperature, whereas with the other heaters you needed to either turn them down, off, or open the door wide. My grandson can play in his bath longer, and more comfortably than ever before.
I absolutely love this heater - we have used it a couple of times for camping, as well as in the home - it is a great product. The multiple power settings and timer control are a fantastic feature that has made this unit fit into our lifestyle perfectly.
I accidentally knocked the heater over and now it will not turn on. I'm afraid I have broken it, is there any thing I can do to correct the problem? Thanks, Paula
Very good functionig heater, I especially like the precise temp controls, I wish my 717 had the same temp setting selections.
It seemed to work very good at first..... but.... I set temp at 70* and next thing I know it's says the temp is 77* ..... and now all the numbers do is flash back and forth between 68 & 69.... At 1st thought it was adjusting to room temp but it never stopped!
This heater worked really well, but fell over easily when bumped. We only had it for about 3 months before it stopped working, which was very dissapointing.
I have bought these heater before and never had a problem with them. Until this year. I bought one to replace the other one and paid 3x the price as before and got it home and loved it. It ran exactly 7 weeks and then just quit. I tried different plugs just in case it was the plug ins. But no. I reset it like it said in the paper work. Again no. I will never buy another from them again.
I bought this heater last winter to use in my one room apt. and it was great! I was very happy with it and would recommend it, but the castor wheels roll terribly wanting to jam up every few inches. The result was the heater fell over on it's face plate while moving it and broke all the buttons. New winter....new heater but will spend less.
We just started using the heater today. We do not know how well it works yet.
purchased 2 of these heaters, one works great and one is leaking it's oil out all over.
I feel that this is the best heater that is manufactures today. I recently purchased the Model HZ-709 as a replacement for the same model I purchased 3 years ago. Unfortunately, the one this replaced started leaking oil onto the carpet. I'm hoping this one does not do the same thing. This is the only thing I have found wrong with the old one. Were it not for the oil leak, I would still be using it today and I would have given this product 5 Stars.
We bought two. one got tipped and will not work anymore.
This heater was good for about a month. I've been using it to keep my room warm at night and setting it to automatically shut off in the morning. However, three times now I have had it on, shut it off to roll to another room and it wouldn't come back on. I would wait an hour or so and it still wouldn't come back on. It took the next day for it to work again. Now, it won't come back on at all. Even though it kept my room at a nice temp, it has become unreliable.
Good little heater that seems quite safe around the house.
But quit working after a year of use.
this was a gift and when opened it was missing the wheels and the remote as well as the Owners Manuel. But other then that it works so far.
Hi, my heater fell down, and i i try to turn it on and it didn't came on, i was wondering if i still have warranty for it? i don't think i fill out the little form, there is a number on the bottom 3173839, thanks.
Warms up room nicely but goes over the preset tempature so I have to turn it off when room gets too hot. Wish it came in white.
Purchased 2/10 used only 2 months. Started to reuse..... As I stated slight hard nudge in the dark..... heater did not even tip...... just rolled on wheels about 6 inches from previous position. Tried to troubleshoot as suggested to no avail. Only option ship at my expense plus pay Kaz 10.00 for handling to get it replaced. So in less than a year a 65.00 heater increases in cost for me to almost 100.00.
It would have been less cost and easier to just have installed a external reset switch.
As for heating a large room.... there is no way at best it might heat a small room about 5 x 7 room with no window
We bought this for our small kitchen area last year and it worked fine until we put it up after winter. I took it out this year 11-03-2010 and it wont heat at all. It doesnt warm up even! I cant believe this until cost me almost $80 dollars and I was only able to use it for 6 months before it quit!
Heater works quite well. But the electronic interface in the front of the panel has stopped functioning. The numbers do no display correctly and the controls do not respond either. The power button fails to switch off the unit so we have to continuously unplug from the wall in order to stop the unit. We would like to replace the unit but have lost our receipt from Home Depot. Please advise what can be done.
We bought our heater on 12-26-11. It was sitting in our hallway and one day my husband forgot it was there and knocked it over. I just figured that the safety tip over shut of switch had been tripped. So we unplugged it like the manual says, plugged it back in and it still won't come on..
The balance of this unit is extremely poor. I understand it's a heater and not meant to be bumped into, but when there are dogs in the house, things happen. My issue is that this unti's balance is so poor it can fall over in any direction with very little, to no pressure. Case in point, the day this unit died on me, I caught the toe of my shoe on the cord and I am still uncertain how it didn't just come unplugged, and after a fall with a mild thud, never worked again. Still trying to find the reciept to take it back to Wal-Mart but I may have to eat this one, at one year old and very hard, I don't think it will taste good. By the by, there is a note on the unit that claims automatic shutoff when the unit is tipped which is supposed to prevent damage... guess that missed the mark, it should say, "May fall a few times and still work, but probably not." Honestly, other than the balance issue it was a solidly mediocre heater and I would highly recommend it over frost bite.
my unit was along a wall and flat with that wall, but as i passed by with a package i tipped the unit over on its face dials and controls, on a carpeted floor no less, and the unit is toast. the front curicit board with the push switches was bent and cracked in two lines almost 3 pieces, and the one leading edge was along the end of a chip wich makes repair of the board almost impossible, without taking that chip off and then three of the switches seem not funtioning,, how can i get another board for this machine and or faceplate with the attached boards etc. this unit is just 2 years old and the winter is commin real soon. got it a walmart.
unit worked great except for the tipover which i feel wasnt that extreem, need to put a stiffener in that part so the boards wont be destroyed if it happens to them...
Unit was used just 2 mild southern seasons and just quit. Unplugged it in the spring and stored it in a closet over the summer months. Plugged it in 11-5-10 and nothing happens. Avoid this product.
Wish I had checked these reviews before purchase! My unit died the very first time it accidentally tipped over. It wasn't on and the fall was inconsequential, but apparently any tip over kills this unit's electronics. Absolutely worthless! And since I can't find the receipt, it was a very expensive accident!
I purchased this unit from walmart in september and barely used it. Today is December 1st and after the first snow of the season I came home to find the unit completely dead. It will not turn on. The company must have cut back on the quality of their products because for $70.00 I had hoped the heater would have worked for longer than 2 months.
I got 1 year out of it.Now it shuts off after a few minutes for no reason.To have it service ,I need to pay a service fee of $10 dollars plus shipping ,which is probably over $30.The warranty is a joke and so is its reliability.
Worst excuse for a heater I have ever had. If it had a fan to disperse the heat it would do well. However, you need to practically sit on top of it to get the heat. Very poor product. I rated it 1 star, because I could not find a negative rating.
Right out of box, this heater would not work! Got as a gift 4 months ago and just opened and tried to use it but nothing. Am going to try to return.
I bought this heater last year and was very happy with it. I doesn't blow the heat but gently heats the surrounding air. This year when I plugged it in it just stopped working. I have tried plugging it in different outlets and everything else I can think of. I have been looking for a reset and can't find it. I don't have animals or children so no one has been touching or bumping it. I just can't figure out what caused it to stop working. I miss it and hate to buy another since I don't know what caused it to stop in the first place. Hope others have better luck.
This was a good heater when it worked. Winter has just started and one day I pushed the on button and heard a little pop. Heater now doesn't turn on, this heater is less than a year old now and shouldn't have this problem. I will buy only an old fashion analog switch heater from now on.
Just bought this heater last night for my basement; plug it in this morning and it doesn't work. Digital display is reading an 88, which must be an error code.(basement is definatley not 88 degrees). None of the control, including the on/off button are responding. I dont know if this will be an easy fix, havent gotten that far, only got on-line to look up troubleshooting tips and this is where I ended up. Can't believe Im troubleshooting right out of the box!!!!!
We have had this heater for less than a year and only used it occasionally and it no longer works. When we plug the unit in there is no response from the power switch at all. We let it sit for 20 min plus as suggested in a troubleshooting recommendation and it still does not work. The breaker was not tripped. We would like a full refund or a replacement heater. We are very dissappointed with this product.
Please help to rectify the situation and keep us as a valued customer.
I was using my heater the today and noticed a odd wire burning smell. I took a flash light and shined behind the control panel, looking through the small groves and saw a wire that was melting. I unpluged the unit and need to have it replaced under warranty. I cannot find my purchase reciept from Walmart
I got this last year and it worked great, but when I brought it out this winter the temperature setting doesn't work. It goes WAY past the setting. And if you put it on high setting, the plug gets really hot. Dissapointed in this product.
I bought this heater about a year ago. It has provided a great deal of heat to a bedroom and I have enjoyed it until now. One day it just wouldn't turn on. Kaz offered to replace it because it's under warranty but the shipping is almost as much as a new one. I'm bummed!
This heater is less than 2 years old and has stopped working. It's not worth the trouble of packaging and shipping for repair. This is the second product we purchased with the name honeywell. The last one only lasted 4 months. We will never own another product with honeywell on it. Lesson learned.

The drinks we did have were very nice.
The grazing platter was missing a couple of items listed on the menu. When we queried this we were told the terrine was there, underneath the salad leaves. We pointed out it wasn't (not sure the waitress knew what we meant) and she offered to try and find something else from the kitchen. We declined as there was a singer in the restaurant who was good but far too loud, so much so that we couldn't even hold a conversation. They also didn't have one of the cocktails we asked for.

As relations between Israel and Azerbaijan prosper, Iran is making no effort to
disguise its fury over the friendship.
This week, the Iranian Foreign
Ministry called in Azerbaijan's ambassador and demanded answers over a $1.5
billion arms purchase from Israel. Iran, Baku's southern neighbor, has also
repeatedly accused the country of allowing its territory to be used by Israeli
intelligence operatives.
"There is no military alliance. But there are
naturally shared interests. Azerbaijan is an enlightened, secular, advanced
state," former deputy defense minister Ephraim Sneh, who was instrumental in
forging the first links between Jerusalem and Baku two decades ago, told The
Jerusalem Post.
The country sells Israel a third of its oil, and
cooperation on technology and trade is well developed, Sneh noted.
refrained from discussing sensitive defense contracts.
"I saw the
potential 19 years ago, and worked to bring relations closer as a Knesset member
and a minister, because I saw the similarities and joint interests. I'm pleased
at how things have developed," Sneh added.
Sneh, now chair of the S.
Daniel Abraham Center for Strategic Dialogue, spoke this week at a conference on
the relations, held at the Netanya Academic College.
Dr. Ganire
Pashayeva, Azerbaijani parliament member and foreign affairs committee member,
also attended the conference.
Although she did not mention Iran by name,
Pashayeva said that "strategic cooperation between Azerbaijan and Israel will
continue" despite opposition from "neighbors in our
Israeli-Azerbaijani ties are important from defense and economic
perspectives, she added. Pashayeva also called on the Jewish state to support
Baku's demand that Armenia withdraw its military from the territory of
Lev Spivak, who heads the Israel Azerbaijan
International Association, said that relations "are very good between the
militaries" of the two countries, adding that the Azerbaijani president's
security guards are trained in Israel.
On the cultural level, Jews had
lived in Azerbaijan for five centuries free from persecution. After Azerbaijan
broke free from the former Soviet Union, some 70,000 of the country's 100,000
Jews moved to Israel, but return to visit often, forming a natural bridge
between the two populations, he added.
Asked how he thought most
Azerbaijanis would respond to Iran's condemnations, Spivak said, "I think they
would be happy. Because many of their friends and former neighbors now live in
