Nessus 3.2 with IPv6 Auditing and WMI
Tenable Network Security has just released version 3.2 of its Nessus vulnerability scanner.
The new features according to the vendor are IPv6 auditing and improved bandwidth utilization control during scanning. On top of this Nessus 3.2 is capable of restricting user permissions for specific ports and audits.
Support for the Windows Management Instrumentation protocol (WMI) is also new. This interface gives remote applications like the scanner the ability to retrieve information on the performance and configuration of Windows systems, and to change settings.
Since the 3.x branch was introduced, Nessus has been under a proprietary license; the 2.x versions remain GPLd. The current Nessus version 3.2 is available for Linux, BSD, Solaris and Windows as a free download, however, users are asked to agree to an extensive license agreement. Scanner plugins are available to customers who subscribe to "Direct Feed" at a price of around US$ 1200 per year.

Mistake (sort of): Ashley says (to Irene): "Well, you know what it's like to kiss Pete Irene...Oh wait, ya don't". And Irene's response gives the impression that what Ashley said is true. Ashley wouldn't know this, but Pete and Irene made out on the couch during the "Two Guys a Girl and Valentine's Day" episode. Irene should have known that.
Pete: An angry mob that hates Ashley...aah, my people.
Marti: Ashley, you should get out of here, before they hurt you.
Ashley: Why? No one knows who I am.
Pete: (points at Ashley and yells) Hey! Aren't you Ashley from the TV?
During the end credits we see outtakes of the mob throwing eggs at Pete.
Yet again Ashley says she broke up with Nomar.

Colin, many thanks for pointing out the obvious; I realise the Police cannot be omnipresent.

You can report someone for loitering in a hoody but not for wielding a ton and a half of metal in a dangerous manner. How odd.

In terms of seriousness of offence involuntary manslaughter isn't wildly different to death by dangerous driving. Maximum sentence is life but that's rarely enforced and certainly wouldn't be in this case. Max for dangerous driving is 14 years though to my knowledge it's never been used. Whatever happens it'll likely not buck the trend of people on bikes being sentenced more harshly than people in cars for doing what amounts to the same thing. My thoughts are with Chris and his family.

But honestly the above quote is your problem. If you want to climb hills better you can't really buy your way into it. Losing weight and practice is the best idea.I live in Didsbury and within half an hours ride there is Marple (Col du Mellor), alderley Edge (as mentioned above), Disley (high lane and bakestonedale road)
Within 50 minutes you can be at Macclesfield and head over to Buxton for one hell of a drag.
In fact if you head about 10 mins down the road you have stockport which is built on a massive hill.
I would suggest half hour out to alderley edge/marple, climb some hills, go home.
And eat fewer twixs. Losing weight helps tremendously!!
Oh and Manchester Wheelers are nice people!

Running an iMac running 10.5.8. Downloading video from a Panasonic SDR-H80P-K. It completes the task, but all clips are blank. Each clip shows the clip's length and the file is 3 gigs big so it downloaded. Why won't iMovie see the colored clips? I have downloaded the camera into another iMac with the same OS and iMovie 09 (8.0.4) and it worked perfectly. Any ideas?

I don't know. Make sure you have all the latest updates for iMovie and the iLife support updates first.
If you have other codec helpers installed, such as Perian, Flip4Mac, DiVX, etc, you might try un-installing them. That is a wild guess. Look for any software differences between the two iMacs. Even a slight version difference may be the cause. CameraTime - Time lapse photography for novice and advanced users. When asking questions, post the version of your software. You'll receive better answers. Please post your results to the thread as it is good feedback. |

Jeff Kuhner Officially Named New WRKO, Boston AM Drive Host. As TALKERS reported yesterday, Todd Feinburg and Michele McPhee are out as morning drive duo at the Entercom news/talk outletand now WRKO confirms the moves of late morning talk host and Washington Times columnist Jeff Kuhner to the AM drive slot. Kuhner has been a weekly guest and fill-in host on the station since January of 2012. He began doing a daily 11:00 am to 12:00 noon program on WRKO in August. Entercom VP and market manager Jeff Brown states, "This caps off a season of positive change for WRKO. It's the right move for our two most important customers – our listeners and our advertisers – and needless to say, I'm excited about our future." In addition to his work at the Washington Times, Kuhner is the president of the Edmund Burke Institute, a Washington think tank. He did his doctoral work at Ohio University and taught U.S. history at McGill University in Montreal from 1998-2000 before deciding to make a career change to journalism. He has made numerous national radio appearances and served as a frequent guest host on "The Savage Nation." Vice president of programming for Entercom Boston Jason Wolfe states, "Jeff has made an immediate impact in a very short period of time and has demonstrated that he's ready for a bigger platform. The positive reaction to his 11:00 am hour has been simply overwhelming and his fearless, honest brand of talk makes him appointment listening." Kuhner will continue to host the 11:00 am hour as well. As for Todd Feinburg, he had been with WRKO since 2003 hosting in different dayparts, the last several years in AM drive with Tom Finneran and most recently with McPhee. He is considered one of the most capable and versatile talk show hosts in the business. He can be emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com.
America's Radio News Network Adds Election Night Coverage. Special election night programming is being added to America's Radio News Network on Tuesday, November 6 as the team of John McCaslin, Lori Lundin and Chris Salcedo will broadcast "Election Night 2012" to affiliates from 9:00 pm to 3:00 am ET. McCaslin states, "Before the winners are even announced, we will have for listeners the final state-by-state exit polling – including crucial battleground states like Ohio, Florida and Virginia – as quickly as the polls close in each state. Once the voting stops, we will be able to closely examine various exit-polling data and get a clear signal of the ultimate results. Take the all-important race for the White House: if President Obama or Mitt Romney were to win certain key battleground states – with the right combination, this could be as few as two of the states – we would be able to suggest which candidate will be taking the oath of office on January 21, 2013."
New Jersey Radio Stations Move into Day Three of Hurricane Sandy Mode. Meteorologists are saying that Hurricane Sandy could have been much worse and indeed some of the early models called for prolonged rain and wind well north and west into the mainland U.S. The broadcasting community is well aware that New Jersey and New York took the brunt of Sandy and today many Garden State radio stations are still working on generator power as the clean-up gets underway. New Jersey Broadcasters Association president and CEO Paul Rotella tells TALKERS that he's proud of the people who are still working hard in the often-overlooked aftermath of a storm like this. "Our broadcasters responded magnificently almost without exception. What was so poignant about this tragic weather event is that although our beloved New Jersey Shore got ravaged it's really interesting to see how many broadcasters were at their posts manning their stations while their own homes were being destroyed. It's nothing less than awe-inspiring, the dedication of the broadcasters here in New Jersey."
Nebraska Secretary of State Denounces KFAB, Omaha Satire. Responding to a satirical radio interview in which late morning host Scott Voorhees spoke with a phony U.N. elections observer named Steve Apple about the United Nations' monitoring of voting in the Ohama area, Nebraska Secretary of State John Gale called the content of the bit "completely false" and stated, "I want to make it clear that the U.N. has no right to send election observers to the United States, much less any whom are 'armed and in uniform.' It is also untrue that Omaha was targeted due to serious concerns about civil rights violations." During the bit, Voorhees' conspirator states the U.N. observers may asked for I.D. and pat down voters if they feel they may have illegal campaign literature. During one point, a caller asks why Omaha is being observed and the fake U.N. observer states that the fact that the Midwest has no blue states indicates the likelihood of voter fraud. While Gale called the stunt reckless, saying, "This is a serious time in America, right before a presidential election. Spoofing the process demeans our democracy. People don't need further distractions as they prepare to cast their votes. They need straightforward and honest information on which they can rely." Voorhees tells the Omaha World-Herald that he did it to call attention to questions about international election observers.
Salem Communications Officially Takes Over Columbus FM; Flips to Conservative Talk. Last week TALKERS reported that Salem Communications was planning to flip soon-to-be-acquired WJKR, Columbus to a conservative news/talk format using Salem Radio Network programming and that's what happened at midnight last night. Salem is buying the station from Radio One but took over today under an LMA and is positioning the station as "98.8 FM The Answer." Salem's vice president and director of spoken word format Phil Boyce says, "This will be the fifth 'Answer' station we have launched at Salem, along with New York, Los Angeles, Riverside and Dallas. Salem continues to be a leader in the news/talk format, and this new station will be the first FM news/talk station in the company fold. 'The Answer' imaging voiced by legendary Lonnie Perkins will sound great coming out of an FM speaker." The station will air the SRN programs — Bill Bennett's "Morning In America"; Mike Gallagher; Dennis Prager; Michael Medved; and Hugh Hewitt; plus Dial Global's Dennis Miller from 9:00 pm to 12:00 midnight and Compass Media's Lars Larson from 12:000 midnight to 3:00 am.
WERQ, Baltimore's LaDawn Black Returns as Relationship Expert on Bill Cunningham TV Show. "The Love Zone" host LaDawn Black is back for a second season as a relationship expert on WLW, Cincinnati talk host Bill Cunningham's eponymous nationally syndicated television talk show. Black hosts the 10:00 pm to 2:00 am show on Radio One's hip hop WERQ, Baltimore "92QJams." She is a best-selling author of such books as Stripped Bare: The 12 Truths That Will Help You Land the Very Best Black Man (One World/Ballantine) and Let's Get It On: 15 Hot Tips and Tricks to Spice Up Your Sex Life (One World/Ballantine) and contributed to episodes last season and will contribute to more shows during Cunningham's second season.
Main Street Radio Network Inks Distribution Deal with Salem. Independent syndicator Main Street Radio Network informs TALKERS that its programming operations will now be distributed by the Salem Radio Network (SRN). This includes its flagship daily show, "Battle Line with Alan Nathan," and its popular weekend program, "The Dr. Evelyn Higgins Show." Jane Silk, president of Main Street Radio Network says, "We're exceptionally pleased to have our programming now distributed by the Salem Radio Network. SRN's longevity and steady prominence in the radio industry are renowned and we look forward to all the mutually promising horizons attainable through this new relationship." SRN VP of operations Charles Mefford adds, "SRN is thrilled to assist in the production and distribution of 'Battle Line with Alan Nathan' and 'The Dr. Evelyn Higgins Show.' It's always exciting to add quality shows to the growing list of program producers who daily rely on the Salem Radio Network for outstanding production and distribution services.

TRN's Jerry Doyle Says Consolidation is Stifling Objectivity. Speaking to legendary Southern California radio newsman and current PodJockey personality Brent Seltzer on Talkers TV at the recent New Media Seminar in Los Angeles, Talk Radio Network nationally syndicated host Jerry Doyle says he believes the vertical consolidation of the talk radio business is stifling objectivity much the same way consolidation stifled creativity in Hollywood in years prior. "It's killed objectivity to a degree, where you become a cheerleader for whatever side it is that wants to see their side win. I would like to think of myself as — what we should be doing more of in the business – as a coach. A cheerleader will cheer for you when you drop the ball in the end zone but on a critical fourth down, they don't ask the cheerleaders what they think, they ask the coach…I think we need to coach more and by people just cheering for their own side it allows those sides to be lazy and get away with mistakes…and I think healthier competition has a better outcome for all of us…I think that we have a responsibility in the bully pulpit that we have, to speak the truth." See Brent Seltzer's entire interview with Jerry Doyle in Talkers TV on the right side of this page.
Interim WGN, Chicago GM to Address Staff Today. A week after Tom Langmyer was ousted, interim GM Jeff Hill will meet with the entire staff of the station in Campbell Hall at Tribune Tower this morning. Hill spoke with Time Out Chicago's Robert Feder and says his goal is to rally the troops, dispel some rumors and explain the bankruptcy process and what it may mean for station staffers in the future. Hill tells Feder, "I am dedicated to the success of this radio station and to serving the needs of the listeners, the advertisers and the employees here. I'm a little exhausted by the kicking around that we've dealt with from a lot of outside sources, and think that we need to stay as positive and as focused as we can." The news that afternoon host John Williams would give up his WGN gig to focus on his WCCO, Minneapolis show came on the heels of Langmyer's departure and Hill must deal with the staff's concern about the future of the station. Hill is combating chatter on message boards that Tribune Broadcasting president and CEO Nils Larsen will attend the meeting to begin preparing the staff for job cuts. Hill tells Feder, "I don't know where the message boards come up with this, but that is by no means the case. I'm sure there are people out there that want to create havoc and confusion and distress amongst current staffers or want to create headlines that aren't there. But the memo came from me to our staff. In my conversations with Nils he has said flatly that it's my meeting and my agenda." But Hill does say he's not eager to have the "interim" removed from his title since a sale of WGN is possible and new owners would want to make those types of management decisions.
Chalk One Up for the CHR Station. Consultant and brilliant radio idea man Walter Sabo – a resident of Manhattan – tells TALKERS that from the perspective of a person who lives in New York City and whose life was seriously disrupted by Hurricane Sandy, he found the absolute best and most valuable coverage and information provided by any station of any format on either the AM or FM dial during the blackout and aftermath of the storm was – believe it or not – Clear Channel's CHR outlet, Z100! Sabo says, "They did a much better job of conveying the real news and helpful information to the listener than any other station – some of which, of course, weren't even on the air because they weren't technically prepared for such an emergency. Z-100 provided blocks of about 20-25 minutes of really important information – the stuff people need to know – followed by a top five song. Then when the song was over, they went right back into providing the information I needed for me and my family…transportation updates, health concerns, school and road closings, and safety guidance for another 20 minutes or so. It wasn't long-winded, superfluous filler, but rather vital facts and stuff people could use. And then they would play another top five song. This went on throughout the day."

Sandi Bergman, whom TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison describes as "a dynamic rising star among today's crop of media brokers," has positive news for the many recently laid-off radio management figures looking to apply their seasoned skills in a new and productive direction in the industry. They should consider radio station ownership! Ownership is not just for the mega-corporations who are burdened with seemingly insurmountable debt. As a matter of speculation, it is indeed possible that many of them will be spinning off unwieldy properties in the months and years ahead creating new opportunities for fresh blood in the business. According to Bergman, who owns the innovative website www.RadioTVDeals.com and the New Mexico-based brokerage firm MyMediaBroker.com and is one of the relatively few major female brokers in the game, there are many incredible opportunities for first-time buyers. She states in an exclusive interview that will be carried in its entirety tomorrow (11/1) in both TALKERS and RadioInfo, "In the large markets, AMs can be purchased for a fraction of the price they sold for five years ago. I have listings for AMs in top 10 markets that are priced very reasonably, and, one of those sellers will carry some paper. There are some great groups in medium and small markets that can be purchased at a six-to-seven-times cash flow multiple, and many of those sellers may offer some portion of seller financing. In my opinion, a first-time buyer should consider looking into small markets where the station or group is the only show in town. Local businesses will support a local owner first and foremost, especially if the station group is enmeshing itself into the community and schools. It is a good situation where he operator does not have to deal with the competing stations going for the same local dollar." Bergman points out, however, that sales is the key to making it: "The very most important factor in operating a station or group is sales. Without adequate sales, the owner can very easily miss the loan payment. Miss the loan payment, you lose the station. This must be kept in perspective at the very onset of ownership! A new owner/operator needs to keep operating costs in check and make the loan payment. It is also important to keep all bills current. It is not an ideal situation in any marketplace to have a reputation for being behind on bills. Not good for business. First-time owners/operators should become entirely involved in the communities they serve, and give on-air time to local clubs/organizations. Many operators sell sponsorships for public service announcements which is good business. Broadcasting local high school/university sports is most always a "ticket" to advertising and overall business success in radio. Combine these items with superb local news coverage, and you'll have the local advertisers in your pocket." Read the entire interview with Sandi Bergman here tomorrow.
Arbitron and Magic Broadcasting Settle Dispute. Magic Broadcasting, LLC and Magic Broadcasting Alabama Licensing, LLC owned stations in the Dothan, Alabama market before selling them in February of this year. Previously, Arbitron had taken legal action against Magic for copyright infringement and breach of license agreement. In a suit filed last November, Arbitron alleged that Magic Broadcasting improperly used proprietary or copyrighted Arbitron materials, information, and data after the expiration of its license agreement with Arbitron. The lawsuit was filed as part of ongoing Arbitron initiative to protect its intellectual property rights. Now, the two sides agree to settle the complaint for an undisclosed sum. Magic also agrees not to engage in any activities that would infringe, misappropriate, or breach Arbitron's intellectual property rights in any of its reports, data or software. Magic acknowledges that its on-air personalities are not authorized to refer to Arbitron ratings data and agree to refrain from making any unauthorized use of Arbitron's ratings data in the future. Arbitron agreed not to pursue legal action against Magic as long as Magic complies with the terms of the settlement agreement.
Hulk Hogan Settles Suit with Radio Host Bubba the Love Sponge. Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and talk radio star Bubba the Love Sponge have reached a settlement over the release of a video of Hogan having sex with Bubba's then-wife Heather Clem. TMZ reports that a settlement has been reached but does not publish the details. The story states that Hogan is still suing Heather Clem and the gossip sit Gawker for $100 million. The video is some six years old and shows images of Hogan and Clem having sex in Bubba the Love Sponge's home. It was recorded with a security camera unbeknownst to Hogan – making it illegal under Florida law – and how Gawker got a hold of it remains unclear. However a lawyer for Bubba the Love Sponge says Bubba did not release the video and does not condone the release of it.

Talk Hosts and News Operations Deal with Logistical Issues and Weather as Republican National Convention Begins in Tampa Today. The Republican National Convention, a huge "radio row" and live broadcast draw for many radio stations and networks around the country, begins today and talk hosts, programmers and news staffers are dealing with what is already a complex couple of days of remote broadcasting being amplified by the threat from Tropical Storm Issac. Today's first day of the RNC is being canceled due to the storm and broadcasters are having to make contingency plans as a result. From a logistical standpoint, hosts and news staffers may be forced to cram planned interviews and guest appearances originally scheduled across three days into two days on Tuesday and Wednesday. As for live broadcasts scheduled from the convention center for today, that will depend on how quickly the storm moves through the area. Salem Radio Network VP of news & talk programming Tom Tradup tells TALKERS SRN's equipment on radio row is set up but its two early Monday shows – Mike Gallagher and Dennis Prager – will originate from Salem Communications O&O WGUL, Tampa and the Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt programs will broadcast from the convention center radio row later today.
Lincoln Financial Media Buys Miami FM for Sports Talk Simulcast with WAXY. West Palm Beach FM WMSF at 104.3 will change hands from Palm Beach Broadcasting to Lincoln Financial Media for a reported $13 million and the latter will use the signal to give sports talk "790 The Ticket" WAXY an FM presence in the South Florida market. Palm Beach acquired the station from CBS Radio earlier this year. Palm Beach has applied to move the 104.3 signal from West Palm Beach to Miami and that application is still pending the FCC. LFM will begin operating the station under an LMA prior to FCC approval of the sale.
Program Director Jay Bohannon Exits Clear Channel's WPGB, Pittsburgh. When Clear Channel fired up the Pittsburgh FM talk outlet in January 2004, Jay Bohannon was named the program director. During his tenure at the station, he was responsible for working with morning show team Jim Quinn and Rose Tennent and bringing the program into syndication. He also led news/talk branding and imaging for the company. Bohannon is available for his next opportunity. Reach out to him at email@example.com.
Salem Communications to Buy WMUU, Greenville from Bob Jones University. The station – owned by the Christian college's Gospel Fellowship Association – currently programs a combo of Christian teaching and beautiful music but that will end when Salem Communications takes over and turns the Greenville, South Carolina FM at 94.5 into a news/talk outlet using programming from the Salem Radio Network. No price has been announced nor has a start date for an LMA.
WOR Low Price Tag Cause of Angst for AM Radio Owners. As the dust settles in the aftermath of the recently announced sale of Buckley Broadcastings' heritage outlet WOR, New York to Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, the cold hard reality of the low price tag is beginning to settle in and it is being perceived as a seriously bad indicator about the value and future of AM sticks. Industry observers and players alike remember stories about the late Buckley Broadcasting CEO Rick Buckley turning down offers as high as $150 million for the station as recently as a decade ago. In 2001, Disney paid then-owner The Forward newspaper $78 million for WEVD (1050 AM) to find a New York City outlet for ESPN Radio – a station with a significantly inferior signal than WOR's. An article in the New York Daily News reports on the topic: "One of the many nervous discussions in radio these days revolves around the future of AM stations — that is, if they have a future." Perhaps the revelations of the WOR deal will usher in an industry station deal cycle marked by what TALKERS publisher Michael Harrison describes as the "lesser fool" theory.
Former Eagles Star Brian Dawkins Joins 97.5 The Fanatic for NFL Coverage.

I am thrilled to bring his passion and insight to the Delaware Valley on a week to week basis."

Programmers Owe it to Themselves to See Obama Movie. Radio consultant Holland Cooke says of the new movie "Obama's America 2016," "If you work in talk radio, you owe it to your audience to understand what all those network commercials in your show are selling. And as an insider, you'll recognize the event you're attending as a theatrical 'infomercial,' a rented theater." Cooke says that regardless of your personal political viewpoint, as a content creator the film is instructive in numerous ways. Read Holland Cooke's analysis here.

Dale "The Truckin' Bozo" Sommers Dies at 68. The cause of death is not yet public but Dale Sommers had been dealing with unspecified health issues since he left the WLW, Cincinnati overnight program in 2004. Although he retired from the show at that time, he resumed the program on satellite radio and hosted it until earlier this year when he again gave it up. As the Cincinnati Enquirer's John Kiesewetter reports, Sommers' program made national news twice when it helped solve crimes. The first time was in 1984 when he was talking off the air with a regular caller who went by the name of "Mississippi Lady," a convenience store clerk in Camilla, Georgia "when he heard her tell someone, 'You can't come back here' before quickly hanging up the phone. Sommers called Camilla police, who were familiar with his 'Bozo Show' and a store clerk known as the 'Mississippi Lady.' Within minutes, an officer apprehended the robber." His program was also credited with assisting police is catching the DC sniper in 2002 after a listener heard Sommers give the car's license plate number over the radio.

In a story from the Boston Globe, Entercom's Boston sports talk brand WEEI will soon split the current simulcast of the radio station and make the 850 AM signal a full-time ESPN Radio outlet. WEEI has had a relationship with ESPN Radio for almost three years now with the station airing some ESPN programming and ESPN personalities such as Buster Olney making appearances on WEEI programs. It's expected the regular national lineup of ESPN Radio shows will air on the signal when the split takes place in the early fall.
Mike Costa to Co-Host PM Drive at Xtra Sports 1360 in San Diego.

Half-Hour Weekend Talk Show's Success Inspires Music Show Syndicator to Eyeball More Spoken Word Offerings. Los Angeles-based MannGroup Radio, headed by radio vet and co-founder of Premiere Radio Networks, Ed Mann, has avoided talk radio for almost the entire 14 years of its existence as an independent syndicator of such fare as GrooveWorx Imaging and music libraries, CPR consulting with Paige Nienaber, She Prep with Beth Bacall and other products geared to music stations. In early 2011, MG took on the marketing of a short 30 minute-per-weekend program for talk stations called "Issues Today with Bob Gourley," the success of which has obviously meant a great deal to Mann. The fast-paced half hour, hosted by veteran broadcaster and Southern California-based journalist Bob Gourley, chronicles topical subjects from health to the economy. It began at KPPC where Gourley served as public affairs director. In a recent extremely candid conversation with the TALKERS editors, Mann reveals, "Extreme polarized talk has always left a sour taste in my mouth, particularly the very far right and left issues that never resolve on a broadcast forum, yet, as an avid listener of talk radio, I've always been starved for an intelligent, entertaining approach to issues for the day. As we've taken on this relatively small but meaningful program, Bob Gourley's 'Issues Today,' and watched how it's grown and how the affiliates and listeners embrace it, I'm more encouraged than ever to hear from producers, stations and hosts in the hope of developing and marketing other like-minded programs for national distribution that can cut a swath in talk radio without sitting on either side of the seesaw and sticking their tongues out at each other. Some have already come my way, and I sense a shift in the marketplace. Our company is jazzed at the notion of collaborating with producers, hosts and radio stations who can see the need on the listener level for level-headed broadcasting." Independent hosts and producers can contact Mann at 310-346-4991 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Looking to switch carriers. Currently with Sprint, I seldom have dropped calls and have been a satisfied customer for 12 years, but looking to make a switch. I am getting tired of their nitpicking my account for miscellaneous things as in changing my corporate discount and how the percentage is taken off, and continually promising 4G (and technically charging for it), but never having it in Des Moines. Does anyone have Tmobile that lives in or around Des Moines? What is the reception like? And is their 4G in Des Moines adequate? I'm not willing to switch to AT&T or Verizon, because of the way my family plan (6 people with various needs) works out. So please don't thread crap with anything involving those two carriers.

In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

No matter how many liberties are ultimately granted agenda-pushing lyricists, boldly emoting about Abraham is still a curiously ballsy move, especially when your audience skews a bit Williamsburg: It's likely that bespectacled youth sporting unfunny "Jesus Is My Homeboy" T-shirts will get pink-faced when the (pointedly non-ironic) subtexts of Seven Swans start pumping loud through their headphones. Still, it's all that earnest cooing that makes the record so stupidly compelling. Stevens (whose avant-religion mirrors the quirky righteousness of his Danielson Famile labelmates, and whose blowsy sound nods to the sweet-faced sighs of the Innocence Mission and Iron and Wine) consistently eschews gilded pulpits in favor of low plywood stages. Instead of gospel soloists caterwauling in robes, Stevens pushes light acoustic strums and gently whispered compliments ("I can see a lot of life in you/And I think that dress looks nice on you.")
His beliefs take periodic diva turns, but Seven Swans is still far more preoccupied with the banjo than God: Stevens's tenderly picked chords fly higher than any golden harp, and his delicate, lapping vocals lovingly complement all that tinny stroking. Wary listeners might waste precious hours trying to pinpoint subliminal, Blakeian indoctrinations, but will walk away with nothing more than a perfect melody lodged upthroat.

District to save money by refinancing bonds
By Brenda Sexton, The Courier-Herald
Taking advantage of current low interest rates, the White River School District will refinance its 1992 bonds, which have already been refunded once before, saving taxpayers $62,000.
The board approved refunding the bonds at its regular meeting Sept. 10.
The district was currently paying a rate between 5.65 and 5.8 percent. The new rate, district business director Susan Smith Leland said, will be 2 percent.
Refunding bonds works like refinancing a home mortgage. The old bond is paid off and replaced with the new bond at the lower interest rate. The difference returns to district taxpayers through reduced property taxes.
"It's always small refunds, but we always take advantage of them," Leland said. Taxpayers will hardly notice the difference in their property taxes, pennies per thousand, but, due to refinancing, the district will be able to pay off the loan by 2005.
The original bond occurred in 1986 and was used to build Foothills Elementary and remodel Elk Ridge Elementary and White River Middle School.

State to sanction higher secondary schools in villages
The demand for upgrading Government High School Cheruvadi, at Kodiyathur panchayat in the district, to a higher secondary school has gained new momentum with the Cabinet on Wednesday deciding to sanction higher secondary schools in all grama panchayats having no such schools.
Cheruvadi GHS is the only government high school in the panchayat. "Since the Chief Minister has already made it clear that government schools will be given priority while sanctioning Plus Two sections, we have hope," P. Gireesh Kumar head master-in-charge of the school, says.
The school, which has already produced talents in different spheres including arts and sports, was selected by the Sarva Siksha Abhyan (SSA) as one of the best schools in the Mukkom educational sub-district recently.
The government school has 1,250 students, majority of them from economically poor families in the neighbouring places such as Keezhuparamba, Kodiyathur, and Karassery.
Progressive movements such as the Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad (KSSP) has also demanded that the Cheruvadi GHS should be given priority while sanctioning Plus Two sections since it is the only government high school in the panchayat that qualify for the upgradation. There are a few aided schools the managements of which have already started lobbying for Plus Two sections for their schools.
"We hope the government, especially the Education Department will not succumb to their pressures," Vijeesh Parari, a member of the KSSP and an alumni of the Cheruvadi GHS, says.
The district panchayat under which the Cheruvadi GHS comes has already supported the sanctioning of Plus Two courses for the school.
If the panchayat is to get a higher secondary school, Cheruvadi GHS has to be the first choice by any means," K. Sivadasan, district panchayat education committee coordinator, says.
Of the total 75 panchayats in the district, there are only three or four of them without a higher secondary school. Cheruvadi is one, and others are Perumanna, and Koothali, Mr. Sivadasan says.

Grand Vienna
Trip Start
Feb 02, 2010
Trip End
Feb 02, 2011
We are staying with Kathi, Edo and little Zora, friends of Felix and his family in Vienna. When we arrived at their apartment, after the last few days in Hungary going flat out everyday for fear of running out of time and a pretty sleepless night, we were pretty tired so we spent the rest of the day relaxing in the apartment.
The next day we didn't venture too far either. We went for a little walk to find some supplies for Felix to try and repair the old watches he had bought in Budapest. We also collected some food supplies, in the apartment there was a waffle machine which I was busting to try out. Camilla from Norway had given me her waffle recipe and Felix and I have been dreaming of having waffles with sour cream and strawberry jam like we did the night we stayed with her family after the bike meet. Felix was also dreaming of brownies and was talking my new-found brownie baking skills up so pretty soon everyone in the house was rallying for brownies as well. I can't say dinner that night was particularly healthy - but it sure was enjoyable and very tasty, there's nothing quite like waffles and brownies for dinner.
Saturday we went to a huge Flea Market, it was really big, most of the stalls were selling way, way, way overpriced 'antiques' and sure some of them were genuinely old but most of it was just people trying to flog off there grandparents porcelain cats and candle holders that were clearly not worth anywhere near what was being asked. Apart from that, there was some people selling some interesting stuff, but anyone who has ever been to a flea market knows how it is, an absolute mountain of old junk to sort through with a few gems hidden in there somewhere if you can find them and bargain the stall holder down to a reasonable price. Felix found another few watches and a guitar which I thought was a pretty large waste of money seeing as it's only a few months until we go home, but at fifteen euros for a reasonably playable guitar he is very happy (me too after some time playing it). I found a few items of clothing.
That night for dinner, Edo took us out to running sushi again - the novelty still hasn't worn off. After a great dinner (not as good as the one in Budapest, but still fair) we walked around the city for a while, which was really nice on such a pleasant night.
We were waiting for the train home in Karlsplatz Station and it was about midnight when something really amazing happened. When we were in Budapest up at the castle, Felix and I watched a family for about an hour. They were so funny, first the mum was chasing the baby around trying to take pictures of it with seagulls for ages then the dad took the camera and the mum and sister were posing in front of EVERYTHING, one shot with their sunglasses on, then off, then with the designer handbags on show. Seriously there were taking so many pictures of each other - it was so funny and dorky. Anyway back in Vienna as we were standing on the platform in the station waiting for the train and who should also be waiting for the same train? Of course that same family. And there was no mistake, the mum was even wearing the same leopard print trench coat and chasing the baby around while the grandmother looked after the pram. Amazing.
I can't remember what we did on Sunday, so it can't have been too great, we probably slept in really late after staying up watching a TV show we have become addicted to.
Monday though we walked into the city to the museum quarter planning on visiting a Keith Haring exhibition I had seen advertised around. Sadly I had misread the sign. On the original sign it said it closed on Sunday but a sticker had been stuck over which said something about it being extended until next month, the fine details that were lost in translation were the details that said only a few pieces from Keith Haring were still on display.
I was so excited to see some real Keith Haring, he is one of my favourite artists ever, he really inspired me when I was at school. Before seeing his work I thought that to be a good artist or to make a 'good' picture you had to be able to paint things like all the great artists you hear about in art class - the Michaelangelo's and Monet's and blah blah blah of whom all are no doubt talented but for me totally boring artists. A teacher introduced me to Keith Haring's work and suddenly I discovered a totally new style, a completely new way of showing something, his pictures told stories, were funny, made statements and were mostly just bold colour and lines. From him I then was lead on a trail of finding many more contemporary artists to love and admire. I realised that to enjoy drawing and painting and all that I didn't have to be able to copy things in front of me and produce perfect photocopies of whatever still-life subject it was this time. I realised I could draw things with more of a cartoon feel, I could do away with shading and tone, I could use symbols and represent objects, people, emotions and situations in simple, basic forms. I discovered my own style and went from hating art to loving it and getting so much of my teenage angst out on paper, board, canvas and walls.
So when I realised I had missed the Keith Haring exhibition by one day I was totally shattered. I wanted to cry but I was too embarrassed to start crying in front of the ticket man, especially after he was so blunt and rude about it like we were totally stupid. So I just went and sat down blinking a lot and biting my lip. Too good to be true that I should just happen to be in Vienna at the same time my dream exhibition was showing, something had to go wrong so I would miss it. If only we had gone on Sunday...
When I recovered we decided to go and see the exhibition that was on anyway seeing as it had at least a few Keith Haring pictures and even a few other artists I also quite like. And it did turn out to be a good exhibition - about street art. It had some Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat as famous representatives and a lot of other very good stuff. But also some seriously shit stuff. You can try and make all the intellectual arguments you want about the creative process and blah blah blah but seriously there is nothing nice, interesting, visually captivating or artistic about muddy cloths on the floor - if there is - every child with a messy room is a world class artist and should be getting paid to leave there cloths on the floor so people can pay top bucks to come and see them. Get real, it's shit. Thats what I hate about modern art, to see some really cool stuff you sadly have to also see the shit stuff and your little entrance fee supports the shit when all you really want it to support is the artists who are actually talented and creative (these views in particular are expressly Felicity's). But overall it was a good exhibition, we both liked it.
After the exhibition we enjoyed the lovely sunshine in the gardens by the Natural History Museum, sitting among the bushes trimmed into perfectly round balls and other geometric shapes. We moved on when an old man started acting funny and we were getting really hungry. We wandered through the city for a while, paying the really big, really famous church in the city centre a visit as well as the famous Manner wafer shop where we bought a good supply of wafers wrapped in the trademark pink wrapping.
For dinner we had Japanese yet again, it has become quite a favourite of ours and I now have a rather large selection of the different paper wrappings that the disposable chopsticks they give you come in.
We went into the city a few more times during our stay but generally took Vienna at a much slower pace than Budapest. I really don't know how the standard backpacker, hopping from city-to-city hostel-to-hostel keep up with themselves, it's totally exhausting going from city to city and feeling like you have to make the most of every minute and see everything flat out like that.
One afternoon we went to 'Schloss Sch�nbrunn'. It was a perfect warm sunny afternoon and the gardens there are so great. Not the kind of thing I would waste my time cultivating but I'm happy someone else has so I could enjoy the perfectly straight garden edges, perfectly trimmed hedges, perfectly straight avenues of great old trees who's branches are also trimmed into perfectly straight lines. More than enough straight lines to satisfy the most addicted to straight lines person in the world (maybe, I don't know how many straight lines that person really needs).
The lovely bright flower gardens look like lacework. Really amazing gardening even if it is slightly impractical for the average household garden. We didn't go into the main attractions there - the imperial palace and zoo - but had a lot of fun in the labyrinths and mazes, which I imagine are better than the palace anyway. This little corner of the garden under some giant old trees has some very nice hedge work. It was great, I really enjoyed it, it's amazing to be in a maze of hedges. It's one thing to do a maze on paper but to really be inside it is fantastic, wandering around and getting totally lost and disoriented is a great feeling when you know your not really that 'lost,' just really tricked. To me, in a hedge maze, it feels like the closest I'll ever get to the magic, fantastic fantasy and unreal world of my dreams in conscious, touchable life.
On our last morning in Vienna before heading back to Graz for the weekend we went to see the Spanish Riding School. We couldn't afford to go to a performance, which is the case for many people so the morning exercise session is a popular substitute. The horses were really beautiful and so highly trained but watching two hours of random walking and trotting around an arena did get a little slow, Felix even had a short nap. I was hoping they would maybe practice some routines or some tricks or some of the more spectacular things but it seems Friday morning is just a day for fitness.
And so that was Vienna....
