I have confirmed that running the "$runCmd" by itself returns an exit code of 255, but the "die" clause isn't getting invoked. How do I exit with the correct code or at least fail for non-success codes?
Another minor requirement is that I want the output from $runCmd to be printed to the screen.

A lunch with the right mix of stamina-boosting foods can help you cruise through an afternoon of meetings and an at-your-desk workout, says Amy Jamieson-Petonic, R.D., a spokeswoman in Cleveland for the American Dietetic Association. Her advice for a noontime nosh:
Aim for 300 to 400 calories, with a ratio of three servings of carbs (together, the size of a tennis ball) to one serving of protein (smaller than a deck of cards). Carbs replenish energy, and protein helps muscles recover, so you can keep going strong all week!
Brown-bag it to nab your desired portion and ingredients low in saturated fat. Try a whole-grain bagel with veggies and 1 ounce of lowfat cheddar plus a banana (400 calories).

My model has different entities that I'd like to calculate once like the employees of a company. To avoid making the same query again and again, the calculated list is saved in memcache (duration=1day). The problem is that the app is sometimes giving me an error that there are more bytes being stored in memcache than is permissible:
Values may not be more than 1000000 bytes in length; received 1071339 bytes
Is storing list of objects something that you should be doing with memcache? If so, what are best practices in avoiding the error above? I'm currently pulling 1000 objects. Do you limit values to < 200? Checking for objects' size in memory doesn't seem like too good an idea because they're probably being processed (serialized or something like that) before going into memcache.

Update: An EA spokesperson has responded to this story. You can find the response here.
Slightly Mad Studios' Project Cars has been delayed once again, according to an announcement by publisher Bandai Namco. The game will now be released in "mid-May" for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Bandai Namco did not mention the Wii U version in its announcement. The racing game has suffered a string of delays this year; it was originally due out in November but was delayed to March 20. In February the publisher announced that it had been delayed to April 2. And now today the game has been pushed to May.
Kotaku reports that an undetermined number of players are having trouble with the Season Pass for Resident Evil Revelations 2 on PlayStation 4. Some users are claiming that they cannot play the second episode of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 despite purchasing a Season Pass that entitles them to it and other episodes as they are released. The Season Pass costs $24.99, while individual episodes are $5.99 each.
Those who bought the PC version of Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Steam learned shortly after their purchase that the game does not contain local cooperative play, despite it being advertised as a feature on the game's Steam product page. Console owners of the game apparently do have the ability to play local co-op.
So why did Capcom remove this feature from the PC port of the game even as the product page on Steam STILL (as of this writing, at least) claims it supports it?
It looks like the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V has been delayed again by Rockstar Games. In a new post on the Rockstar Newswire, the company delivers the bad news in a sea of updates about other things. The game's original release date was January 27, but that date was pushed to March 24. Now PC gamers won't be able to play it until April 14.
Square Enix has pulled iOS version of The World Ends With You: Solo Remix from the Apple App Store after user complaints about the game finally got some attention from a Kotaku report. According to that report, the game hasn't worked for months - since the release of the latest major iOS update. Square Enix finally decided to pull the game from the store so no one else buys it as it works on fixing the issues.
Turtle Rock Studios launched Evolve earlier in the week. Many rushed out to buy the Season Pass for the game, which - they assumed - would give them access to all the downloadable content released for the game in the weeks and months to come. But once again a game published by 2K Games offers a DLC purchasing option that leaves out a ton of downloadable content.
Nintendo's Creator's Program is already off to an abysmal start, according to this GamesBeat report. The program, which aims to share revenue with YouTube content creators (a 30-40 percent skim for Nintendo), requires participants to submit their videos to Nintendo before they can be posted on YouTube. When Nintendo announced the program it said that it would take 1 - 3 business days.
The Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel game update that launched alongside the latest DLC The Lady Hammerlock Pack, is causing crashes for some users. The update was released today alongside the latest DLC for the game, but some users have experience serious problems after updating.
Developer Gearbox Software says in this post that when the update is applied, "putting three items of purple rarity into the Grinder has the potential to cause a crash."
The fourth major update to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Unity was supposed to offer a refurbished version of the game's Paris map and provide some fixes for continued problems with framerates. But something bad happened in the process: The download, which was already a whopping 6+ GB, apparently ballooned to 40 GB for the Xbox One version of the game. Ubisoft is blaming patch downloading process on the system for the gigantic download too:
From the "Oh, isn't that precious? department" comes this wonderful story from Ars Technica about how Comcast has stopped blocking HBO Go and Showtime on Roku streaming devices. You didn't know Comcast was doing that? Well anyone who is a Comcast customer and owns a Roku device certainly knew all about it.
A brand new update for Halo: The Master Chief Collection has been released offering some new tweaks and fixes to matchmaking, parties, the roster, and more. According to the Halo Waypoint web site, the following changes are in the latest update:
Update: GameSpot reports that the patch is being released today on Xbox One and PS4 and weighs a whopping 6.7 GB.
A number of Super Smash Bros for Wii U owners are reporting a system error has caused some people to accidentally "brick" their consoles. This odd glitch is only happening to a small minority of Wii U owners. According to some users, their system is refusing to play Super Smash Bros and spits out a 160-0103 error code with the Wii U system message: "There is a problem with the system memory. For help, make a note of the error code and visit support.nintendo.com."
Sony Computer Entertainment America president Shawn Layden is defending UK-based DriveClub developer Evolution Studios, despite continual problems with the PS4-exclusive racing game since launch. The game has been out for six weeks and in that time has been continually plagued with technical issues and problems with connectivity. The game was also supposed to be launched as a freebie for PS Plus subscribers - but that version of the game has been put on hold until everything can be ironed out.
This Reddit post is keeping track of all the problems that users have experienced with the freshly released Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The most frequently mentioned issue seems to be with online multiplayer matchmaking.
343 executive producer Dan Ayoub apologized for the launch day trouble and noted in a new Halo Waypoint post that tweaks, fixes and improvements will be applied to matchmaking through several server updates today:
In new story on the next-gen versions of WWE 2K15 (for Xbox One and PS4), Game Informer delivers some bad news on specific features that had to be cut from the game(s). According to that GI report, options to create arenas, Divas, championships, and narratives through the story designer will not make it into WWE 2K15.
Sony has issued an advisory for those who pre-ordered and pre-loaded the digital version of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on PS4 through the PlayStation Store and couldn't get the game to work.
"If you pre-loaded CoD: AW and you're experiencing issues with the game, you must delete all pre-load files from your system and re-download all Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare content," advised Sony in a response posted via the official PlayStation Knowledge Center.
A number of people who enjoy playing Smash Bros 3DS online have found themselves banned... for 136 years! No this isn't Nintendo being heavy-handed with players; apparently it's all due to an odd bug. According to what one programmer posits on this Reddit thread, the bans occurred due to a bug related to the game's ban verification process, he suggests. His theory is that it involves a simple code error in the programming used to determine a player's correct ban length.
Things are not getting better for Sony when it comes to its online-focused racing game, DriveClub for PS4. Sony's PlayStation Network problems have gotten a bit worse due to the release of the 2.0 update for PlayStation 4, which enabled Share Play and YouTube video uploads. These new connectivity issues have in turn caused even more problems for DriveClub; so much so that Sony has shelved the free PlayStation Plus version of the game. Connectivity issues, which Sony says it is well aware of, have been plaguing the network since the update was released.
Evolution Studios says that it has not ruled out offering compensation to DriveClub owners in order to make up for the game's less-than-stellar launch. According to a series of tweets from game director Paul Rustchynsky, the developer is considering a number of options.
In response to a question about compensation for early adopters affected by the game's rough launch, Rustchynsky offered the following:
@pauldshelley We're considering all of our options right now.
The free version of DriveClub for PlayStation Plus subscribers has been delayed, according to a report on Eurogamer. The PlayStation Plus version of DriveClub - free to those who subscribe to the monthly subscription service for PlayStation family platforms, was originally due to launch this week.
Disney recently pulled a Star Wars- themed mobile game called Tiny Death Star from online app stores without warning players or its development team of the action in advance. A spin-off of Tiny Tower, Tiny Death Star is a business management game that pays homage to the Star Wars Death Star from the films. It was developed by NimbleBit for Disney.
The game, which is less than a year old, has now been pulled from the iTunes App Store and the Google Play store by Disney, which did not inform the game's developer NimbleBit that it was going to do so.
On Sept. 20 of last year the developers of the Kickstarter-backed sword fighting game Clang announced that the project had run through all of its funding and was looking for an additional source. The Kickstarter campaign for the game raised $526,125 in 2012.

08-09-2012 04:20 PM - edited 08-09-2012 06:58 PM
Today I decide to go open a new checking account at a credit union, to get away from BOA. Unfortunately, the new CU merged with an old CU, where I had an auto loan that got repossessed in the 90's. There is a balance that was charged off. They won't let me open a checking account unless I set up direct deposit and a payment arrangement. Well, I said I was not comfortable with depositing my whole paycheck there, which they understood. So, we agreed on a savings account, direct deposit agreed upon amount of payment, have the small payment taken out every month.
Since I had to make a $5.00 deposit to open the account, and had no cash, I left to go get some from BOA. But upon thinking for a second, thought that if I made a payment it would reset the SOL. I don't mind paying them off, but will not have the cash to PIF. I am NOT however, willing to get sued. At the time of the charge off, I was on disability and my checks were not garnishable. Now I am retired, and they are.
They would probably agree to put in writing that as long as I continue making payments they will not try to sue me, but not sure that I would even trust that.
This CU handles their own mortgages in-house and they do not sell them. I ultimately want to get a mortgage from them.
IMO, any chance to pay off old debts the better. YMMV on your state's laws as to whether a payment resets SOL. If you opt for payments then don't stop until paid.
I agree with you llecs. I want to pay it off, I just don't want to get sued in the interim when I have an almost clean credit report. Although I guess a clean CR means nothing if you already defaulted on a loan at the place you want the mortgage from. (and rightfully so) ;o)
If concerned they might break the agreement, definitely get it in writing.

ARAB TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 2012 INTERNATIONAL 20 World News Roundup Weather Grain region suffers 'Dry spell' will hit Black Sea MOSCOW, Aug 1, (RTRS): Hot and dry weather will continue to dominate the Black Sea regions in August, increasing pressure on weak grains crop prospects in Russia and Ukraine, while rains in Kazakhstan are expected to aid its crop, forecasters said on Wednesday. Weather in the Black Sea pro- ducing countries, which normally supply a quarter of world wheat export volumes, has already hurt grain crops in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan this year and has lent sup- port to global wheat prices, which soared this summer. Wheat prices have jumped about Prysyazhnyuk 50 percent since mid- June amid a severe drought in the US Midwest, dry conditions in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, excessively wet weather in Europe and a below average start to the Indian monsoon season. The USDA is expected to cut wheat crop estimates for Black Sea exporters as bad weather takes a toll, while it continues a trend of lowering figures for US corn and soy production, Barclays bank said on Tuesday.

I think 400TMY was introduced in 2003, so it is at most 8 years old. The previous owner always kept the stuff in fridge. I always kept the stuff in fridge. I moved my studio due to expansion of my photo business perhaps 4 times during that period, and of course there could be some time where the film would sit unrefrigerated during the move. Generally speaking, though, I move film in middle of night and together with expensive wine and cheese, so as to minimize exposure to heat.
One thing I noticed is that the foil bag was pierced so that air could get inside. But the film wasnt fogged or anything. What's noticed are huge grains, poor shadow details, and poor resolution. Maybe the film deteriorated due to air even at 2 degrees centigrade over at most 8 years period?
I also processed Delta 400 that was sitting in a camera for 6 years. It had poor shadow details and very grainy look, but it wasnt as bad as this freshly exposed 400TMY.
Why do you prefer HP5 Plus over 400TMY-2 for outdoor shoots?

Which is a Better Window: Soft Lite Imperial LS or Serious Window
I would appreciate your evaluation and any experience you have had with these 2 windows: Soft Lite Imperial LS or the Serious Window 600 Series Quantum 2 Window. The differences that I can see is that this Serious window, although a double pane window, has a clear membrane in the middle which I guess can be considered a third pane of glass without the weight. The window is insulated with kripton gas vs argon for the double pane Soft Lite. They use a double steel space system (used for strength and durability) vs kevlar at the meeting rails for strength and the well know Super Spacer system for the Soft Lite. Their glass comes from ppg. They, (Serious) rate this window as an R- 10. I have called them to find out about the windows DP rating, but they could not tell me at the time. The window I am told is accepted by the AAMA but is not have a "Gold" Certification as does the Soft Lite. Does this really mean anything? The guarantees appear to be the same. Would appreciate your assist. Thanks

This vegetarian cafe is part of Hotel Kadampa which is a Buddhist-run enterprise. Loyal to its name, Cafe de la Paz is situated in a very peaceful spot in rural Andalucia. The cafe itself was renovated in April 2010 and offers ready meals such as veggie burger, pretend fish fingers, fake chicken scallops all with fries and salad, as well as a hot dish of the day and also tapas, gazpacho, salads, vegetarian sandwiches, pizzas and a variety of chilled desserts. There are also cold drinks and a wide selection of teas and coffees. The adjacent Templo de la Paz temple has very special energy and is a beautiful spot for meditation. As the centre hosts many Buddhist courses, festivals and events, it is strongly suggested to ring prior to visiting in order to check whether the cafe is open to the public on the day you intend to visit. Access via car is on the A404 (the road between Alhaurin de la Torre and Alhaurin el Grande). Coming from Malaga direction, just past Lauro Golf at KM 12 there is a bus stop (where the Malaga/Alhaurin El Grande bus stops). The lane on the right is Fuente del Perro. When the road curves off to the left the hotel is through blue gateposts on the right. Price: Moderate more-less

Disney Is Not A Fan of Your Freedom to Gamble Unless Its With Them
Florida is considering a bill right now that would allow people tired of being exposed to giant cartoon mice to instead blow their hard-earned cash on slot machines and table poker games carefully located within pleasant yet confusing environments. Starved for money and unable – or unwilling – to earn it from taxing it's geriatric population into oblivion, Florida is looking to approve "destination casinos" similar to the ones in Atlantic City or Las Vegas, so that adults who have no desire to spend their money hand over fist in amusement parks can still come to Florida for fun and, possibly, profit.
It only makes sense. The primary audience for large casinos is old people, who spend endless hours chained to penny slots in polyester running suits, chain smoking out of fanny packs and spending their social security checks. Florida already has thousands of old people and more that visit every year. And if they're willing to just give casinos money, why not approve more ways to take it from them? Florida is already home to horse tracks and (allegedly) thriving sports book operations, as well as an increasingly healthy adults-only vacation paradise. The state merely wants a cut.
But not if Disney has anything to say about it. The Mouse is lobbying to prevent the destination casinos, saying that having them would "ruin" the "family friendly" atmosphere in Central Florida. Not that it isn't well within their rights to lobby against something that might cut into their profits, but it seems Disney is not being entirely forthcoming about their rationale for pouring money into the fight.
The Institute for Liberty, who is fighting to protect consumer choice in Florida, has records of Disney selling off the rights to its characters to make money off online gamers. Yep. It turns out Disney has been licensing Marvel characters for use in slot machines online, which is not only contrary to a "family friendly image," it's also a bit morally questionable, considering that these characters, in their cartoon iterations, appeal specifically to children and could encourage kids to take part in pastimes their parents wouldn't particularly approve of, or would fit with the Disney brand image.
There's also a question as to whether Disney is preserving it's own right to have casinos. Bloggers have indicated that several of the Disney resorts are wired in a specific way so as to leave the possibility of slot machines and video gaming open. Disney is ready to take full advantage of gambling, family friendly image be damned, if and when Florida is open to approving gambling statewide.
When Big Business is allowed to influence Big Government, freedoms get curtailed. Even freedoms you probably didn't know you had.

Review of the Residential Services (Accommodation) Act 2002 Submission by the Office of the Public Advocate – Queensland 6 May 2005 I. Preliminaries Scope of the review The Residential Tenancies Authority is conducting a review of the Residential Services (Accommodation) Act 2002 (RSA) which commenced on 23 August 2002. The RSA focuses on boarding houses, supported accommodation hostels, and aged care rental units. It seeks to establish the accommodation rights and responsibilities of residents and service providers by requiring written residential service agreements and providing a process for the resolution disputes about these agreements. The Public Advocate's interest The Office of the Public Advocate was created under chapter 9 of the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000 (Qld). The Queensland Public Advocate is charged with providing systems advocacy for adults with a decision-making disability. This group includes people with an intellectual disability, a psychiatric disability, an acquired brain injury or some form of dementia. Under the Act, it is the function of the Public Advocate to: promote and protect the rights of adults with impaired capacity for a matter promote the protection of the adults from neglect, exploitation or abuse encourage the development of programs to help the adults to reach the greatest practicable degree of autonomy promote the provision of services and facilities for the adults monitor and review the delivery of services and facilities to the adults. The Public Advocate's interest in this Review stems from the following basic premises. 1. The boarding house and supported accommodation sector has traditionally been home to large numbers of Queensland citizens with a decision-making disability, particularly people with intellectual or psychiatric disabilities. Many of these citizens are highly vulnerable with significant disabilities, low incomes, poor access to necessary services, no family involvement in their life, and few social supports and networks. 2. As outlined in the Public Advocate's 2003-04 Annual Report to the Queensland Parliament, issues relating to housing and support are the most important systemic issues facing vulnerable people with decision-making disabilities in Queensland today. Having access to a real home of your own means more than just having a roof over your head. It provides the basis for having a good quality of life. It carries significant meanings about belonging, identity, security and control over one's life. 3. The Residential Services industry is undergoing considerable transformation. Faced with a rising real estate market, operators are choosing to sell-up and leave the industry in growing numbers. Having operated without government involvement for d:\docstoc\working\pdf\99da0ed7-c8e1-4858-86e8-567d1bac04d6.rtf 1 decades, the industry now also struggles to adjust to an intensifying wave of regulatory reforms. These shifts will have substantial impacts on vulnerable residents. 4. Many boarding house and hostel residents lack the capacity to speak out on their own behalf. In some cases, this is linked to the extent of their cognitive disability. However it also reflects the historic culture of the industry – a culture that, despite the presence of numerous reputable operators, has been distinguished by a pattern of intimidation, summary evictions, and scant recognition of resident rights. The Office wishes to acknowledge the contributions of other stakeholders to this Review process. In particular, the Tenants' Union of Queensland for its 2004 Residential Services Monitoring Report. In the main, the Office endorses the analysis and findings of this detailed examination of the RSA. Also, the Boarding House Action Group, for its sustained advocacy on behalf of boarding house and hostel residents. It is also fitting to recognise the work of the Residential Tenancies Authority. The Authority has overseen the commencement of the RSA, has actively engaged with operators on its adoption, and has contributed to the advancement of resident awareness and empowerment. The Office further acknowledges the considerable efforts of the Authority in this consultation process. II. Key issues To understand the Office's analysis of, and recommendations for, the RSA review, it is necessary to understand what life is like for the cohort of Queensland citizens on whose behalf it advocates. What does it mean to be a vulnerable person with a decision-making disability living in a boarding house or supported accommodation hostel? You will live on a fixed, low income, often a disability pension. You will pay anywhere from 75%-95% of your weekly income in rent/board. You may not have the capacity to read or understand documents that relate to your accommodation. You will most likely have few other options about where to live. You are unlikely to have any/many family members or friends in your life. You are likely to be unable to make complaints about, or assert your rights with respect to your accommodation. If you are able to, you are likely to be afraid of reprisal if you do so. You are unlikely to have any access to necessary health and disability support services. You are likely to spend a good deal of your time within the confines of the facility, and to have few meaningful connections to activities and people outside the facility. It is these multiple disadvantages in the lives of adults with impaired decision-making capacity that drives the recommendations of the Office. These recommendations centre on four key aspects of the RSA. d:\docstoc\working\pdf\99da0ed7-c8e1-4858-86e8-567d1bac04d6.rtf 2 1. Ending agreements and evictions Of chief interest to the Office are the provisions relating to the ending of agreements and the eviction of residents (under Part 9 of the RSA). Currently, residents of boarding houses and hostels have less security of tenure than other Queensland tenants. This is related to the weaker tenancy provisions in the RSA, relative to those embedded in the Residential Tenancies Act 1994 (RTA). It is known throughout the sector that the threat of summary eviction significantly undermines residents' security of tenure, contributes to the transience of some residents, and underpins their fear of speaking out or making complaints. Furthermore, the evidence available to the Office to date suggests that the current eviction provisions are not working as intended. Many residents seem to prefer to self-evict rather than engage in dispute with an operator or attempt to assert their rights. Further, based on data collected by the Tenant's Union of Queensland, it would appear that police are rarely called in to attend evictions, as intended under s.82 of the RSA. The Office supports the following amendments to strengthen the security of tenure for vulnerable residents. The timeframes for breaches, terminations and remedies under the RSA should be increased, consistent with the protections for tenants afforded by the RTA. For serious breaches (s.79), the power of immediate eviction by operators should be removed, and replaced with the provision for an urgent tribunal hearing before any eviction can proceed (i.e. ensure access to independent adjudication). Operators should not have the power to end a Residential Service Agreement without grounds (s.81). With respect to the provision of notices (for rule changes, to remedy a breach, to leave, to end agreement etc.) to residents with impaired capacity, the scope of s.133 should be expanded to include informal decision-makers (i.e. members of a person's support network). 2. Coverage and definitions At present, there are several issues related to the coverage of the RSA, and its definitions. The Office makes the following recommendations. The link between the RSA (Accommodation) and the RSA (Accreditation) should be broken, with a "residential service" being clearly defined under the RSA (Accommodation). In line with the above, the term "service provider" should be defined more broadly in the RSA to include other parties who are acting on their behalf, specifically "associates". Residents fulfilling a caretaker role, and/or collecting rent, should be included within the definition of "associate". Serious consideration should be given to the inclusion of certain types of facilities which are currently exempt from the RSA. Specifically: d:\docstoc\working\pdf\99da0ed7-c8e1-4858-86e8-567d1bac04d6.rtf 3 facilities with some self-contained features (e.g. cooking facilities or toilets), given the current trend for operators to "self-contain" accommodation to avoid coverage, as documented by the Department of Housing facilities run by community organisations and which operate under a Government grant from Disability Services Queensland, Queensland Health or the Department of Housing. If residents in these facilities are not covered under other, more powerful tenancy protections (e.g. those afforded by the RTA), they should be covered under the RSA. Following the recommendation of the Tenant's Union, the Office considers that it makes good sense to define coverage under the RSA by the occupancy elements of the accommodation (e.g. boarders and lodgers), rather than by the type of accommodation and services provided (e.g. boarding houses, supported accommodation hostels etc.) to avoid confusion over coverage. The "multiple location" issue should be clarified – s 4(4) of the RSA (Accreditation), and a revised section included in the RSA (Accommodation). 3. Residential service agreements The written Residential Service Agreement is fundamental to the protection of vulnerable residents' rights. With respect to such agreements, the Office makes the following recommendations. The Office agrees with the Authority's suggestion that the creation of specific timeframes for providing written agreements (s.16) would facilitate compliance. It has been reported to the Office on numerous occasions since the RSA's commencement that residents are not receiving written agreements from operators. We are unable to ascertain how widespread this failure is, nor whether it requires a more vigorous approach to compliance on the part of the Authority. However, the Office would support a closer inspection by the Authority of the issue. The reported failure to provide a written agreement may be linked to the relatively minor penalties operators incur for this failure under s.16 of the RSA (10 penalty points). The Office recommends that the RSA penalties be consistent with those of the RTA (i.e. 20 penalty points). Sections 16-17 of the RSA discuss the provision of a written service agreement to the resident. No mention is made of residents with impaired decision-making capacity. While the Office agrees that operators should not be penalised if a resident refuses to sign an agreement, for those with impaired capacity the situation is more complex. Here the concern is that impaired capacity might be used by operators as an excuse not to prepare and provide agreements. In these cases an agreement should be prepared and provided to the resident's guardian, where one exists. An inclusive definition of "guardian" should be applied. As recognised by the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000, a guardian may be formally appointed by the Guardianship and Administration Tribunal. More commonly friends, family, d:\docstoc\working\pdf\99da0ed7-c8e1-4858-86e8-567d1bac04d6.rtf 4 support workers or allies will be acting in an informal decision-making capacity as part of a person's support network. Hence the RSA should acknowledge the role of informal decision-makers in people's lives. However, it would not be reasonable to accept that the boarding house/hostel operator could act as an informal guardian for this purpose, given the inherent conflict of interest. 4. Access to visitors, support workers and advocates The lives of many vulnerable people are frequently circumscribed by the physical boundaries of their boarding house or hostel. Seldom are there opportunities to venture into the wider community, let alone develop meaningful connections to activities and people that lie beyond the hostel's front door. "Outsiders" will infrequently cross the threshold; few of those that do will form a complete picture of what life is like for the vulnerable person. Residents with impaired capacity are often unable or unwilling to speak up about issues that concern them. Moreover, boarding house owners/operators often exercise strict controls over facilities; it is not uncommon to hear reports of outsiders (including family members, support workers, advocates, friends or allies) being denied access to the premise, and hence to the vulnerable person within, without good reason. Currently, the RSA contains no provisions to support residents' rights to have visitors, including support workers or advocates. The Office strongly supports legislative provisions within the RSA to protect the rights of residents to receive visitors, particularly support workers and advocates, without fear of reprisal. This is particularly important given that external support may in fact assist an individual to sustain their tenancy, as well as meet other personal needs. d:\docstoc\working\pdf\99da0ed7-c8e1-4858-86e8-567d1bac04d6.rtf 5
