The room is extremely versatile and can be laid out for parties, or formally in boardroom style or theatre style. Seating is available for up to 60 people.

For children's parties, choose from a traditional party tea or burger and chips.
As well as keeping nine skittle teams busy, the skittle alley is available to host events such as fairs and fetes.
With few public toilet facilities in Thornbury, particularly in the evenings, The Swan has joined a Town Council partnership to provide clean, safe and accessible toilets in convenient locations in the town centre.
It means anyone can use The Swan's toilet facilities during normal opening hours, with no obligation to buy food or drink.
The Swan in Thornbury is a beautiful listed building, which was fully refurbished in September 2011, but still retains many of its original features and is definitely a 'traditional local'.
Towards the back of the building we have the original flagstones where the horses were tied to the coach house. This area is Grade I listed, as is the front of the building, including the old windows where the coachmen were served. Come and have a look!
Over the years it has been claimed that there were many coaching inns in Thornbury. Owing to the importance of its livestock market, Thornbury had a considerable number of pubs or beerhouses with as many as 17 being in operation at the same time in 1830.
While it is true that many of these pubs had stables, there was in fact only one true coaching inn – the Swan Inn in the High Street. It's also the only pub that has kept its original name.
The other pubs had livery stables, carrier, haulage and vehicle hire businesses operating from them, the vehicles all being horse-drawn.
The Swan was one of Thornbury's most important pubs for centuries and was probably owned for much of that time by the Lord of the Manor. The earliest known record dates back to 1642 but it is likely that the inn existed long before that date.
A swan was one of the heraldic devices of Edward Stafford, Third Duke of Buckingham, who started the building of Thornbury Castle in 1511. The castle was never finished because the duke was executed for treason by King Henry VIII in 1521.
The mail coaches stopped at the Swan on their way between Bristol and Birmingham. The mail coach from Bristol would arrive at 8.30 in the evening and the one from Birmingham at 5.30 in the morning. The through coaches stopped running in 1845, when the railway line between Bristol and Gloucester opened.
However the tradition of stopping outside the Swan Inn continued with a horse bus service and then in 1906 with the first motor bus service.
The original model of a swan was set up on top of the porch in 1844. It survived for nearly a hundred years but the replacement was not quite the same. Have a look next time you go by and try to spot the differences!
We are proud to we have won a Bronze in the Best Fairtrade Food Outlet category at the South West Fairtrade Business Awards, which aim to increase sales of and support for Fairtrade amongst local businesses.

11/21/2014This app is good, but can you separate XD and digital Time because it really confusing which is which?
11/21/2014Can't login.
11/18/2014Useless trash. It won't let me log in to my account to purchase tickets. Always complains about a connection error, when I'm perfectly connected via Wi-Fi. A real waste of time, I would rate it 0 stars if I could. Better not to have an app if it's going to be this bad.
11/18/2014Great app, but crashes on a windows phone.
11/16/2014Fandango mobile development team: Please prioritize windows phone login connection issues. Last night fandango services failed me on my 1520. I could not order tickets in the app due to connection errors on login, and the website login page was (and still is) broken on IE, so I ended up standing in line and missed the first 10 minutes of the movie. Please make it possible to use fandango from a Windows phone; presently it is broken.
11/15/2014Fix this app. It has always crashed on me but I was able to overlook that because it would kick me out then let me back in to make a purchase but now it doesn't work at all. Come on now Fandango. So sick of companies dealing windows phone the short straw.
11/11/2014Sucks... Doesn't let u login
11/9/2014"No results within 15 miles for today." Yeah, I know, but you won't let me change the search radius without going through settings, losing where I'm at. Plus this movie's not out yet so I'd like to search another day to buy tickets but instead you just pop up the same ******* error message... User interface is lacking! I'm better off using the full website...

The US Congress is considering a bailout of the top three car manufacturers in the U.S. - General Motors, Ford and Chrysler.
While some unions favor the bailout as a way to save their jobs, others have called for this crisis to be turned into a real opportunity for change in the transportation infrastructure of the country.
Mark Brenner is the head of the Detroit-based periodical 'Labor Notes'.

The Supreme Court Nominating Commission will interview 14 attorneys and judges who applied to fill a vacancy on the Kansas Supreme Court created by the July 28 departure of Justice Nancy Moritz to serve on the 10thU.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Applicants will be interviewed beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, August 4 and Tuesday, August 5 in the Fatzer Courtroom at the Kansas Judicial Center in Topeka. The full interview schedule and brief biographical statements from each applicant are available online at the Kansas Judicial Branch or below:
"These will be the first Supreme Court justice interviews open to the public since the guidelines for open interviews were adopted by the commission in January 2011," said commission chair Anne Burke of Overland Park. "This level of transparency makes it possible for anyone to observe how the commission interviews candidates and reviews their skills and qualifications in our state's merit-based selection process."
Although the interviews are open to the public, cell phones and other electronic devices may not be used in the interview room. Also, the guidelines allow the commission to, on a motion and a majority vote, close part of an interview if it's "necessary to protect the privacy interests of the applicant," although the provision further states that, "closing any portion of an interview is disfavored."
To ensure a fair interview process, applicants are discouraged from attending an interview other than their own and from seeking or accepting information about questions asked of other applicants.
The public may make written comment to the commission up to one week before the interviews take place, or by Monday, July 28, by sending them to: Supreme Court Nominating Commission; ATTN: Anne Burke; 301 SW 10th Ave., Room 374, Topeka, KS 66612.

OpCodes.Mkrefany Field
Pushes a typed reference to an instance of a specific type onto the evaluation stack.
Namespace: System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The following table lists the instruction's hexadecimal and Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) assembly format, along with a brief reference summary:
Assembly Format
mkrefany class
Pushes a typed reference of type class onto the stack.
The stack transitional behavior, in sequential order, is:
A pointer to piece of data is pushed onto the stack.
The pointer is popped and converted to a typed reference of type class.
The typed reference is pushed onto the stack.
The mkrefany instruction supports the passing of dynamically typed references. The pointer must be of type &, *, or native int, and hold the valid address of a piece of data. Class is the class token describing the type of the data referenced by the pointer. Mkrefany pushes a typed reference on the stack, providing an opaque descriptor of the pointer and the type class.
The only valid operation permitted upon a typed reference is to pass it to a method that requires a typed reference as a parameter. The callee can then use the Refanytype and Refanyval instructions to retrieve the type (class) and the address respectively.
TypeLoadException is thrown if class cannot be found. This is typically detected when Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL) instructions are converted to native code rather than at runtime.
The following Emit method overload can use the mkrefany opcode:

Poisoning Children
Between 1932 and 1968 [the Chisso Corporation] dumped twenty-seven tonnes of mercury into [Minamata Bay in Japan].
Ironically, it was the villagers of Minamata who, in 1907, had persuaded the founders of the Chisso Corporation to establish their factory in the area.
They were poor fishermen, and the prospect of employment was a great attraction.
Fish are an important part of the diet of the people of Minamata. …
[B]y the 1950s people were reporting numbness in their limbs, slurred speech and problems with their eyesight.
A few began to shout uncontrollably and were thought to have gone crazy [like Alice's Mad Hatter]. …
By 1959, doctors working for Chisso had established that mercury pollution from the factory was the cause …
(p 184)
The company responded with years of deceit, cover-ups and bullying.
[By the time] it stop polluting [in 1968] over ten thousand people, many of them children, had suffered severe, irreversible physical and mental damage. …
Astonishingly, around two-thirds of the mercury circulating in Earth's air and oceans … comes from the burning of fossil fuels, mostly coal.
Some coal is rich in mercury because coal is a natural sponge that absorbs many substances dissolved in groundwater, from uranium to cadmium and mercury.
When the coal is burned to provide steam for electricity production, these elements are released into the atmosphere, then blown by winds over the ocean, into which they eventually fall. …
Abandoned coalmines are another source of mercury, groundwater often accumulates in the mines, and then finds its way into creeks and rivers. …
(p 185)
Mercury remains in its elemental form while at the sunlit surface of the ocean.
But, aided by the same plankton and krill that absorb radioactive particles, it soon reaches the abyssal depths, and there it is transformed into a highly toxic form known as methyl mercury. …
Methyl mercury is dangerous because [it bio-accumulates] up the marine food chain, until the largest predators such as sharks and swordfish accumulate dangerous levels of mercury.
And what eats shark and swordfish?
The world's ultimate top predator and repository for anything that bio-accumulates: humans. …
(p 186)
Not all methyl mercury is created in the deep ocean.
Some forms in deep lakes and in landfills, wherein lie countless mercury-containing discarded batteries, fluorescent lights and other products. …
In the US, mercury levels are four times higher in fish-eaters (defined as those who have eaten three or more servings in the past thirty days) than others …
There may be as many as 4.7 million women with elevated levels of mercury, which puts 2,000 newborns at risk of mercury-related brain damage each year. …
(p 187)
Under the Obama administration, the EPA is moving to address this threat, and has said it will propose standards for coal fired power plants by 2011.
And [in 2009, the US endorsed] negotiations to finalise a global treaty on mercury. …
While most cadmium enters our bodies via our stomachs, it most efficiently absorbed via the lungs.
Tobacco plants accumulate cadmium in their leaves, which means that smoking is a major cause of high cadmium levels.
(p 188, emphasis added)
[Potential complications] include softening of bones (sometimes to the point where they fracture merely from the weight of the body), lung diseases and possibly cancer. …
Two, albeit, controversial studies [have shed light on possible] ramifications of lead poisoning in children …
(p 189)
A 2007 study across nine countries revealed a 'very strong' correlation between high lead levels in preschool children and subsequent crime rates, with murder showing a particularly strong correlation with the more severe cases of childhood lead poisoning. …
[And] a second study [of] twelve thousand children born in Oakland, California, between 1959 and 1966 … found that children exposed to high levels of lead in the womb were more than twice as likely to become schizophrenic. …
Lead, copper, silver and zinc have been mined and processed at Mount Isa in Queensland's Gulf Country for decades.
[I]n 2005-06 alone an estimated
were released into the atmosphere.
- 400,000 kilograms of lead,
- 470,000 kilograms of copper,
- 4,800 kilograms of cadmium and
- 520,000 kilograms of zinc
Blood tests carried out in US laboratories on six-year-old Stella Hare, who lived in Mount Isa revealed dangerously high levels of lead and ten other metals in her blood.
She suffers learning and behavioural difficulties, and her family is now suing mining company Xstrata.
[Of another] four hundred children … tested by Queensland Health, forty-five [ie more than 10%] had lead levels above the dangerous threshold …
(p 190)
Some in the company [have argued that the lead] comes from natural sources.
Lead levels in soil in residential areas of Mount Isa are thirty-three times higher than federal limits, while lead in swimming holes near the town exceeds those limits several hundred times.
In a newspaper advertisement Xstrata claimed that '[A] few simple steps related to hygiene and nutrition will ensure … lead levels remain below World Health Organization standards.(p 191)

Some of the earnings were imaginary, based on mark-to-market accounting, not true cash profit. …
In 2006 [Dow Kim, head of Merrill Lynch's] fixed income business, including mortgages, received a bonus $35 million on top of his salary of $350,000. …
Merrill ultimately lost vast sums when the basis of the profits, mortgage investments, fell sharply in value. …

Joining CitiGroup after his term as Treasury secretary, Robert Rubin was paid $20 million a year as a non-executive board member with poorly defined duties.
During the tenure of Rubin and CEO Chuck Prince, Citi lost over $50 billion and its market value fell by more than $60 billion, ultimately requiring a government bailout.
(p 315)
[Prince,] a lawyer appointed to deal with regulatory problems, lacked the requisite risk skills. …
Prince's nickname was "one Buck Chuck," a reference to the fact that Citi's stock price barely moved $1 under his leadership.
Losses on mortgages drove Citi's stock price perilously close to the one-buck figure as the bank struggled to survive.
(p 201)
[On leaving Citi, Prince] was paid an exit bonus of $12.5 million, additional to $68 million already received in stock and options, a $1.7 million annual pension, as well [as] an office, car, and driver for up to 5 years.
Prince signed a 5 year noncompete agreement.
Citi may have benefited more by allowing their former CEO to manage a competitor, give the results of his tenure at the bank.

… Lehman's Richard Fuld and Bear Stearns' James Cayne, took nearly 2 decades to become multimillionaires and finally billionaires. …
[By contrast,] Brian Hunter, responsible for energy trading at hedge fund Amaranth before it imploded, earned between $75 million and $100 million [in one year,] ranking him a middling 29th highest paid in his profession [for 2005.]

Ponzi Prosperity
Economics is not a science.
At best, it's an ideology.
And, at times, a very dangerous one. …
Generally these people are influenced by one of two novels.
There are two novels that can change a bookish 14 year old's life, like Ben Bernanke.
Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and Ayn Rand's, Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes; leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs. …

Alan Greenspan:
[G]overnment regulation cannot substitute for individual integrity …
[T]he first and most effective line of defense against fraud and insolvency is counterparties' surveillance [eg] JP Morgan thoroughly scrutinizes the balance sheet of Merrill Lynch before it lends. …

Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis (Summary For Policy Makers)
Drivers of Climate Change
The total anthropogenic [Radiative Forcing] best estimate for 2011 is 43% higher than that reported in AR4 for the year 2005.
(p 9, emphasis added)
Detection and Attribution of Climate Change
Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in the global water cycle, in reductions in snow and ice, in global mean sea level rise, and in changes in some climate extremes (Figure SPM.6).
This evidence for human influence has grown since AR4.
[There is 99% confidence] that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.
(p 12)
There has been further strengthening of the evidence for human influence on temperature extremes since the SREX.
It is now very likely that human influence has contributed to observed global scale changes in the frequency and intensity of daily temperature extremes since the mid-20th century, and likely that human influence has more than doubled the probability of occurrence of heat waves in some locations. …
There is high confidence that changes in total solar irradiance have not contributed to the increase in global mean surface temperature over the period 1986 to 2008, based on direct satellite measurements of total solar irradiance.
No robust association between changes in cosmic rays and cloudiness has been identified.
(p 13)
Future Global and Regional Climate Change
Relative to the average from year 1850 to 1900, global surface temperature change by the end of the 21st century is projected to …
(p 15)
- likely … exceed 2°C for RCP6.0 and RCP8.5 (high confidence) …
- as likely as not … exceed 4°C for RCP8.5 (medium confidence).
Adapted from Table SPM.2, Table SPM.3 and Box SPM.1
Cumulative CO2 Emissions (b) (GtC) Surface Temperature (c) (°C) Sea Level Rise (d) (m) Scenario (a)
(ppm CO2e)
Mean (Range)
Global Mean Increase (likely range)
(Relative to 1986-2005)
Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) (a) are identified by their approximate total radiative forcing in year 2100 relative to 1750:
- 2.6 W m-2 for RCP2.6,
- 4.5 W m-2 for RCP4.5,
- 6.0 W m-2 for RCP6.0 and
- 8.5 W m-2 for RCP8.5.
Cumulative CO2 emissions for the 2012–2100 period (b) compatible with the RCP atmospheric concentrations simulated by the CMIP5 Earth System Models.
- Most of the CMIP5 and Earth System Model (ESM) simulations were performed with prescribed CO2 concentrations reaching 421 ppm (RCP2.6), 538 ppm (RCP4.5), 670 ppm (RCP6.0), and 936 ppm (RCP 8.5) by the year 2100.
- Including also the prescribed concentrations of CH4 and N2O, the combined CO2-equivalent concentrations are 475 ppm (RCP2.6), 630 ppm (RCP4.5), 800 ppm (RCP6.0), and 1313 ppm (RCP8.5).
Projected change in global mean surface air temperature (c) and global mean sea level (d) rise for the mid- and late 21st century relative to the reference period of 1986–2005.
- The total increase [in combined land and ocean surface temperature] between the average of the 1850–1900 period and the 2003–2012 period is 0.78 [0.72 to 0.85] °C, based on the single longest dataset available.
(p 3)
- Based on current understanding, only the collapse of marine-based sectors of the Antarctic Ice Sheet, if initiated, could cause global mean sea level to rise substantially above the likely range during the 21st century.
There is medium confidence that this additional contribution would not exceed several tenths of a meter of sea level rise during the 21st century.
[The decrease in surface ocean pH due to ongoing ocean acidification] by the end of 21st century is in the range of
(p 19)
- 0.06 to 0.07 for RCP2.6,
- 0.14 to 0.15 for RCP4.5,
- 0.20 to 0.21 for RCP6.0 and
- 0.30 to 0.32 for RCP8.5 (see Figures SPM.7 and SPM.8).
Carbon budget required to limit global surface temperature rise to less than 2°C
(531 [446 to 616] GtC was already emitted by 2011)
Likelihood Maximum cumulative CO2 emissions since 1861-1880 (GtC) >66% 800 >50% 840 >33% 880
Climate Change Research Centre:
In 2000-2009, about 350 [GtC of CO2 were] emitted …
(Abrupt Change, Tipping Points and Past and Future Climate, The Copenhagen Diagnosis, 2009)
[Annual emissions of CO2 alone] have grown between 1970 and 2004 by about 80%, from 21 to 38 gigatonnes (Gt), and represented 77% of total anthropogenic GHG emissions in 2004.
(Climate Change 2007, Synthesis Report, p 36)
A large fraction of anthropogenic climate change resulting from CO2 emissions is irreversible on a multi-century to millennial time scale …
{[Up] to 40% of emitted CO2 will remain in the atmosphere longer than 1,000 years.}
Surface temperatures will remain approximately constant at elevated levels for many centuries after a complete cessation of net anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
[O]cean warming will continue for centuries.
It is virtually certain that global mean sea level rise … due to thermal expansion [will] continue for many centuries.
[For] scenario RCP8.5, the projected rise [by 2300] is 1 m to more than 3 m (medium confidence).
Sustained mass loss by ice sheets would cause larger sea level rise …
There is high confidence that sustained warming greater than some threshold would lead to the near-complete loss of the Greenland ice sheet over a millennium or more, causing a global mean sea level rise of up to 7 m.
Current estimates indicate that the threshold is greater than about 1°C (low confidence) but less than about 4°C (medium confidence) global mean warming with respect to pre-industrial.
(p 20, emphasis added)
Abrupt and irreversible ice loss from a potential instability of marine-based sectors of the Antarctic Ice Sheet in response to climate forcing is [also possible.]
[With respect to geoengineering, t]here is insufficient knowledge to quantify how much CO2 emissions could be partially offset by [Carbon Dioxide Removal] on a century timescale.
[Solar Radiation Management, if realizable, has] the potential to substantially offset a global temperature rise, but they would also modify the global water cycle, and would not reduce ocean acidification.
If SRM were terminated for any reason, there is high confidence that global surface temperatures would rise very rapidly to values consistent with the greenhouse gas forcing.
(p 21)
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
The Parties to this Convention,
Acknowledging that change in the Earth's climate and its adverse effects are a common concern of humankind,
Concerned that human activities have been substantially increasing the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, that these increases enhance the natural greenhouse effect, and that this will result on average in an additional warming of the Earth's surface and atmosphere and may adversely affect natural ecosystems and humankind,
Noting that the largest share of historical and current global emissions of greenhouse gases has originated in developed countries, that per capita emissions in developing countries are still relatively low and that the share of global emissions originating in developing countries will grow to meet their social and development needs …
Recognizing that various actions to address climate change can be justified economically in their own right and can also help in solving other environmental problems …
Recognizing further that low-lying and other small island countries, countries with low-lying coastal, arid and semi-arid areas or areas liable to floods, drought and desertification, and developing countries with fragile mountainous ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change …
Affirming that responses to climate change should be coordinated with social and economic development in an integrated manner with a view to avoiding adverse impacts on the latter, taking into full account the legitimate priority needs of developing countries for the achievement of sustained economic growth and the eradication of poverty …
Determined to protect the climate system for present and future generations,
Have agreed …Article 2: Objective(UNFCCC, 1992)
[To stabilize] greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
Such a level should be achieved within a time-frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner.
Article 3: Principles
- [To] protect the climate system for the benefit of present and future generations of humankind, on the basis of equity and in accordance with their common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.
Accordingly, the developed country Parties should take the lead in combating climate change and the adverse effects thereof. …
- [To] take precautionary measures to anticipate, prevent or minimize the causes of climate change and mitigate its adverse effects.
Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing such measures, taking into account that policies and measures to deal with climate change should be cost-effective so as to ensure global benefits at the lowest possible cost. …
Article 4: Commitments
- (a) [To] adopt national policies and take corresponding measures on the mitigation of climate change, by limiting its anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and protecting and enhancing its greenhouse gas sinks and reservoirs.
These policies and measures will demonstrate that developed countries are taking the lead in modifying longer-term trends in anthropogenic emissions consistent with the objective of the Convention, recognizing that the return by the end of the present decade to earlier levels of anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol would contribute to such modification …
(b) [To communicate] detailed information on its policies and measures referred to … above, as well as on its resulting projected anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases not controlled by the Montreal Protocol … with the aim of returning individually or jointly to their 1990 levels these anthropogenic emissions of … greenhouse gases …
The Organization
[The IPCC] was established [in 1988] by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts.
The UN General Assembly endorsed the action by WMO and UNEP in jointly establishing the IPCC.
The Secretariat [which] coordinates all the IPCC work and liaises with Governments [is] hosted at WMO headquarters in Geneva.
The IPCC is a scientific body.
It reviews and assesses the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide relevant to the understanding of climate change.
It does not conduct any research nor does it monitor climate related data or parameters.
Thousands of scientists from all over the world contribute to the work of the IPCC on a voluntary basis.
Review is an essential part of the IPCC process, to ensure an objective and complete assessment of current information.
IPCC aims to reflect a range of views and expertise.
The IPCC is an intergovernmental body. …
Currently 194 countries are members of the IPCC.
Governments participate in the review process and the plenary Sessions, where main decisions about the IPCC work programme are taken and reports are accepted, adopted and approved. …
Because of its scientific and intergovernmental nature, the IPCC embodies a unique opportunity to provide rigorous and balanced scientific information to decision makers. …
The Reasons for Scientific Uncertainty
There are many uncertainties in our predictions [due to an] incomplete understanding of:
These processes are already partially understood, and we are confident that the uncertainties can be reduced by further research.
- sources and sinks of greenhouse gases [—] which affect predictions of future concentrations,
- clouds [—] which strongly influence the magnitude of climate change,
- oceans [—] which influence the timing and patterns of climate change [and]
- polar ice-sheets [—] which affect prediction of sea level rise.
However, the complexity of the system [is such] that we cannot rule out surprises.

Abbott on Murdoch
Tony AbbottWikipedia:I've got a lot of time for Rupert Murdoch because whether you like his papers or don't like his papers he's one of the most influential Australians of all time.
On 4 September 1985, Murdoch became a naturalized citizen to satisfy the legal requirement that only US citizens were permitted to own US television stations.
This resulted in Murdoch losing his Australian citizenship.
(21 February, 2013)
Rupert Murdoch
I'm an American citizen and [I] consider myself an American.
Aussies should support our hometown heroes — that's what I think … Rupert Murdoch is.
(Tony Abbott hails Rupert Murdoch as 'hometown hero', The Guardian, 6 September, 2013)
[Apart from] John Monash, the Commander of the First AIF [who] saved Paris and helped to win the First World War, and [Howard Florey,] the co-inventor of penicillin [who] literally saved millions of lives, Rupert Murdoch is probably the Australian who has most shaped the world …
For our guest of honour … experience trumps theory and facts trump speculation.
His publications have borne his ideals but never his fingerprints.
Rupert Murdoch is a corporate citizen of many countries, but above all else, he's one of us.
[And m]ost especially … he's a long-serving director of the IPA …
[Tonight we] renew our commitment [and] our faith.
In a hundred years' time [m]ay it be said of us that we … passed the torch of freedom [on] to our successors …

Brothers in Arms
Wendy Bacon: Professor of Journalism, Australian Centre for Independent Journalism
[T]he most critical point … was the hysterical overreaction by News Limited [to the proposed Public Interest Advocate.]
I don't think anyone could read this legislation and think there was anything remotely like a star chamber. …Tony Abbott:[This is] a complete distortion of what the law is actually proposing.
Not since the days of the Committee of Public Safety have we seen an attempt by a government to do something as Orwellian as the Public Interest Media Advocate is.
[T]he Public Interest Media Advocate, the government's version of the Ministry for Truth, will be vetting every aspect of the media for fairness, accuracy and the professional conduct of journalists.
[Which] is that, after a whole lot of consideration of different factors, some of which are set down in detail, the advocate would have the power to approve a self-regulatory body.
Which would then, as it does now in the case of the Press Council, take complaints.
There is no suggestion … that this advocate would be in any way dealing with day to day content of the media. …
What we've got here, is News Limited and Abbott in unison … overstating and misleading the Australian public about the powers of the advocate.
The Minister … can't direct the advocate at all.

In the late 1820s there were two million men, women, and children living in bondage in {one of the largest slave societies in history:} the United States.David W Blight [Historian]:(The Abolitionists, Part 1: From Courage to Freedom, American Experience, PBS, 8 January, 2013)

The Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

The Wealth of Nations (1779)
The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations … generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it it is possible for a human creature to become.
The torpor of his mind renders him not only incapable of relishing or bearing a part in any rational conversation, but of conceiving any generous, noble, or tender sentiment …
Of the great and extensive interests of his own country he is altogether incapable of judging …
(p 127)
The proposal of any new law or regulation of commerce which comes from [the business community] ought always to be listened to with great precaution, and ought never to be adopted till after having been long and carefully examined, not only with the most scrupulous, but with the most suspicious attention.
[For i]t comes from an order of men,
- whose interest is never exactly the same with that of the public,
- who have generally an interest to deceive and even to oppress the public, and
- who accordingly have, upon many occasions, both deceived and oppressed it.
(Cited by Tim Flannery, Here on Earth, 2010, p 220)
Richard Wilkinson
Professor Emeritus of Social Epidemiology, University of Nottingham
[Status differentiation has] deeply ingrained psychosocial effects.
[Inequality is] not just about poverty [or] unfairness.
Its about a response to social hierarchy, social ranking …
It's also about whether people feel valued or devalued.
[I]n the Financial Times 100 companies that go into the share index, the average pay difference between the CEO at the top and the lowest paid full time worker, is about 300 to 1.
There's no more powerful way of telling a whole swathe of the population:You people are worth almost nothing!And then of course we say:
Than to pay you one third of one percent of what the CEO gets.The problem with the poor is low self-esteem.(Inequality and Progress, Big Ideas, ABC Radio National, 5 February, 2014)

Robert Skidelsky
John Maynard Keynes 1883-1946: Economist, Philosopher, Statesman
From the start 'scientific' economics had been strongly normative.
By increasing understanding of 'economic laws' it hoped to shift actual economic arrangements towards the competitive ideal which would maximise the creation of wealth; hence the strong association between nineteenth-century economics and the policy of laissez-faire.
Adam Smith and his followers were chiefly preoccupied with the failures of government.
Their idea was that government should keep law and order, and get out of economic life.
By the last quarter of the nineteenth century the mood had changed.
[The 'Age] of Collectivism' dawned.
- The failures of laissez-faire were palpable;
- the competence and the integrity of governments were much improved; [and]
- the growth of democracy had increased the pressure on the state to 'solve' or at least alleviate social problems.
Feeding the growth of collectivism was
(p 455)
- the growth of the social sciences, and
- the parallel emergence of an activist intelligentsia, claiming a right of direction, vacated by the aristocracy and the clergy, by virtue of superior intellectual ability and expert knowledge of society.
The central claim which emerged from the confluence of these two tendencies was that society was a machine whose working could be improved by deliberate action, with unintended side-effects being equally amenable to correction and control, much as a mechanic fine-tunes an engine.
It was the vision … that we can make of our lives and world the world what we wish.

very friendly workers, very helpful and nice. I always go to this one for that reason
The physical location of the place is nothing special. However, the staff and the service are excellent.
Very efficient in both pick up and drop off. Service was prompt at both ends!!!
nothIng at this time. Everything was very professional. Thank you for the great experience.
Without a doubt, I can ALWAYS depend on Tim and the crew at Box Brothers! HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!
Tim and the whole staff at Box Brothers are absolutely THE BEST! I've never experienced customer service like this! Thanks guys and keep up the GREAT work!
Due to an accident on freeway, attendant showed up about 40 minutes after supposed opening time. Would suggest that whenever there is a scheduled pickup at opening time that the attendant have the cell number of customer so that a call explaining late show can be made to the customer.
Inform customers that there is a late drop off box. While truck was in a high traffic area, the windshield could have been cleaned.
Customers should definitely check fuel levels before they leave. Make sure paperwork matches.
Website was hard to follow. When I went to reserve a truck I remember it asking for the pickup date but no end date. When I arrived at the store for my rental the person behind the counter said I only reserved it for 4 hours not the three days I needed it.
I could not get the pickup I had reserved but ended up with a box van instead.
truck looked like it had not been washed in two months
Trailer was clean, but one tire was at the end of it's service life- the tread was almost worn smooth.
Local rep was courteous and helpful.
Always on point and expeditious. Online system allows for accurate and timely rentals.
Picture perfect in every way. Really couldn't improve anything except to make the rental cost less. Onsite staff were great and very helpful.
If renter doesn't have tow ball hitch, make it available to renter! If my buddy didn't let me borrow his i would have had to buy a hitch, and it wasn't even rated very high!!! Maybe have a different assortment of hitches to buy different rated capacities if your gonna make us buy it.
great service
The front staff is so friendly. pre-check in is really helpful. from begging into store till I finish my paper work got the car within 7 minutes. They did really good job!
I specified a location in Oxnard and the day before I picked up the trailer I was notified to pick it up at this location instead. Provide the equipment asked for at the location requested, don't make the customer hunt down another location.
Perhaps more available equipment. That being said I had a great experience with my rental. Very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend .
Thank you
Very friendly and helpful staff. Over all, I will use them again for next rental needed. Thank you!
Awesome customer service! By far the best U-haul team
They were a great help, will be back next weekend.
Fantastic Place.I think more people need to know about this gem. Maybe more advertising?

Critical vulnerability in pre-1.16 versions of wget fixedPosted on 03-Nov-2014
Puppy Linux users should install the two following packages with the red heading as they fix two recently discovered Linux bugs.
All current and past versions of Puppy are affected but as usual the guys on the forum have been quick to get a fix out there. Puppy Linux-4.1.2 is affected and you should download and install download wget-1.16-p4-i486.pet
Bash Vulnerability AKA SHELLSHOCKPosted on 26-Sep-2014 ( Updated 6-oct-2014 )
You may have heard through the media by now of the Bash Vulnerability and the guys on the forum have been busy applying a patch to the Bash Shell. If you are not sure about what the situation with Puppy Linux please check the appropriate forum post
I have included the updated patched version of Bash below and here from Wary/Racy. Many thanks to mavrothal (forum name) for the update which works with Puppy-4.1.2.
Download (567kb): bash-3.0.22-i486.pet
Puppy 415Posted on 06-Aug-2014
'mikeb' (forum name) has put together a rather nice XFCE puplet using Puppy-412 as a base Pup_415_v2.2.1.iso. It includes Gimp-2.4.6 and a very nice Dropbox GUI plus other goodies. Download, burn and enjoy.
Website UpdatePosted on 03-Aug-2014
I said previously that "I will no longer be maintaining 412 Collection" but I have have had a change of heart and will continue with the 412 Collection. I have changed a few things, firstly I have changed the guestbook to a more up to date comment system (link at the top of each page) that visitors may find a better option, especially if visitors would like to ask questions.
Lastly I have included a link to the improved Puppy Linux Search Engine in the right hand column that I have set up after the demise of wellminded.com.
FL BurnPosted on 07-May-2014
'darry1966' has been pretty busy again compiling pets and here is a CD Burner from him. FL Burn is very simple and is good with ISO's and works well with older Pups and very good on extremely low ram hardware.
Thunderbird 12Posted on 07-Apr-2014
There was a request for Thunderbird-12 on the forum but this particular version did not seem to be available so here it is. Although I prefer to use webmail myself but Thunderbird is an excellent choice of email client.
Xorg driver update for various cardsPosted on 04-April-2014
Thanks to Patriot on the Forum for making these Xorg video drivers and to darry1966 for making me aware of them and have been mirrored here.
Wellminded SearchPosted on 21-Mar-2014
With the www.wellminded.com website being down for some time now with no sign of it reappearing although the Google Custom Search still exists. I have included it as part of 412 Collection so Puppy Linux users can have somewhere to access this well used Puppy Linux Search. I have also included a link (right hand column) on the main navigation to it from each page
Adobe Reader 9Posted on 09-Mar-2014
Adobe Acrobat Reader 9, while not exactly what you could call Puppy friendly weighing in at a hefty 58mb and may not be for everyone although you can have more than one PDF opened at the same time and has tabs for all opend documents. Although if you are using a more up to date hardware you will find it very good. According to Adobe you should have a 1.3-GHz processor or higher, 512 MB of RAM and 985 MB of available hard-disk space.

Fabrication techniques for a sharp Si tip on a cantilever have been developed by using an ultrahigh vacuum-scanning tunneling microscope/atomic force microscope. The Si tip growth was performed by applying a voltage at a constant current between a Si substrate and the cantilever. It is considered that Si atoms were field evaporated on the substrate, and deposited onto the cantilever with this procedure. The sharp Si tip was successfully grown when a 3000 Å gold coated cantilever was used, and not grown when the gold film was absent. The cantilever that formed the tip may have applications in scanning probe microscopy. © 1997 American Vacuum Society.

Back to Breitbart TV
However, a flashback of Charlie Crist, as the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in 1998 addressed the Monica Lewinsky scandal potentially exposes the hypocrisy of Crist's 2010 party affiliation change.
In 1998, Crist said then-President Bill Clinton had "shattered the confidence and trust of the American people."
Crist is getting the boost from the now-popular Clinton to aid in his campaign against incumbent Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL).

GIENC is an organization I'm honored to be associated with. I have personally and professionally worked with top level management and Board Members to further the mission of assisting families. GIENC has been generous in providing support to many Boys & Girls Clubs organizations, two of which I served as Executive Director. Without the various levels of support, several of these B&G Clubs would be non-existent. I have always witnessed a true community effort with GIENC, an effort that expands globally. The integrity of GIENC has never been comprised during my 4 year relationship and I look forward to partnering with GIENC for many years. I can honestly say that GIENC is responsible for providing free sevices to over 2,500 youth and families during our collaboration.
