A structural study of methanethiolate adsorbed on Cu(100)
UNSPECIFIED. (2000) A structural study of methanethiolate adsorbed on Cu(100). JOURNAL OF PHYSICS-CONDENSED MATTER, 12 (10). pp. 2153-2161. ISSN 0953-8984
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The interaction of methanethiol, CH3SH, with Cu(100) has been studied by S 1s photoemission, S K-edge near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure and normal-incidence standing x-ray wavefield absorption at both (200) and (111) reflections. The results indicate that a single methanethiolate species, CH3S-, is formed and this is bonded to the unreconstructed surface via the S atoms which adopt the fourfold symmetric hollow site. This conclusion confirms the results of a recent near-edge and surface extended x-ray absorption fine structure study, but contrasts with the established adsorbate-induced reconstruction produced by this species on Cu(111).

Re: CURRRLING
I totally love this guy. Good one, Cheese!
Rejected because: This is too similar to a previous entry by Adder XYU. You two should collab and rule the world.
Re: CURRRLING
I LOVE this one....SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Funny!!!!!
Seems some don't get it????????????
Re: CURRRLING
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Matey - that be the finest shirt I ever sawrrrrrrrr.
awesome, got my vote
Re: CURRRLING
I must have missed this before...
Is it still curling season? I should figure out when that starts to get a head start on merch options.
Sorry, Cheesy.
Re: CURRRLING
Kinda surprised by this rejection. They really aren't that similar. Oh well.
Damn. There goes the one shirt I would have voted for.
And honestly, woot. It's not a copy. It's a variation on the skull-and-crossbones theme, which isn't uncommon. If you want to reject this, you'd have to reject every entry based on commonly used symbols.

A couple months ago, Delightfully Tacky approached me asking if I'd like to participate in a giveaway on her blog. Always up for a little promotion, I quickly agreed. Lucky Lauren won a 25$ marker render, and since she was a patient sweetheart and waited a couple months for me to be able to get to the commission, I put the same amount of time and care I'd give to a 45$ commission into it.
Sadly, the scan kills the grass, and no amount of Photoshop tweaking will save it.

Paris and Oenone
Although he identified himself first and foremost as a sculptor, Flaxman's greatest fame and most lasting influence rest with his drawings. Engravings made after his spare designs illustrating classical epics by Homer, Dante, and Hesiod became the most celebrated work in his oeuvre and spread his stylized linearity widely. This highly finished, signed and dated drawing was made while Flaxman was in Rome and needed to supplement his income while trying to obtain commissions for sculpture. Flaxman chose an obscure classical subject: the famous Trojan shepherd, Paris, with his first love, the nymph Oenone. The scene takes place on Mount Ida, in an idyllic time of peace before Paris was called upon to judge the beauty of the goddesses Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, thus instigating the Trojan War.

WASHINGTON -- Ala bama is one of three states suing the Environmental Protection Agency for its December ruling that greenhouse gases are a danger to the public health. Attorney General Troy King has filed a petition with the federal appeals court in the District of Co lumbia asking the court to review the EPA's decision. Alabama now joins a large coalition of business groups, manufacturers and
The EPA in December, in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, said the heat trapping greenhouse gases threaten the public health and welfare of the Ameri can people and that on road vehicles contribute to that threat; are "the pri mary driver" of climate change; and increase ground-level ozone pollution linked to asthma and other respiratory ill nesses. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane and ni trous oxide.
Efforts to reach King Thursday about Alabama's position were un successful.
Business groups and conservative lawmakers argue the EPA's ruling is based on flawed science and that cracking down on greenhouse gas emissions would harm the econ omy.
"If EPA moves forward and be gins regulating stationary sources, it will open the door for them to regulate everything from industrial facilities to farms to even American homes," John Engler, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, said when his organization filed its challenge last week.
There is also resistance to the EPA ruling on Capitol Hill. Alabama's Republican senators, Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions, are co sponsors of a Senate resolution dis approving of the decision that may come to a vote in a few weeks.
EPA officials are confident their ruling will withstand the legal chal lenges.
"EPA is proceeding with com mon- sense measures that are help ing to protect Americans from this threat while moving America into a leadership position in the 21st cen tury green economy," according to a prepared statement from a spokesman. "Unfortunately, special interests and other defenders of the status quo are now turning to the courts in an attempt to stall pro gress."
Earlier this week, EPA administra tor Lisa Jackson told Congress that regulations on greenhouse emis sions will be phased in starting in 2011 for large facilities. Smaller emitters won't face restrictions be fore 2016.

Data indicate sweet spots, dead zones
Shale gas plays in North America have rapidly become so numerous – and productive – there's a tendency to think of them as being conventional rather than unconventional.
Despite the well-publicized public concern about the safety of hydraulic fracturing involved in shales production, the already hot action in shale plays appears to be heating up further.
This reportedly is being spurred in part by BP's now-infamous Big Spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the ensuing government-imposed moratorium on leasing, deepwater drilling, etc.
Even before this near-unfathomable mess occurred, newcomers to the shale were latching onto opportunities to stake out claims in the high-flying plays via acquisitions or joint ventures. These included some of the larger companies based in the United States as well as international firms.
Many industry participants anticipate this trend to intensify given the iffy situation in the Gulf, which has long held forth as the backbone of domestic energy production.
Under the circumstances, few would argue that the timing of the shale gas "boom" has turned out to be fortuitous.
Recent estimates of recoverable gas from unconventional shale reservoirs in the United States exceed 500 Tcf (USGS/EIA 2009), with potential for another 200 Tcf in Canada, according to AAPG member Murray Roth, president of Transform Software and Services in Littleton, Colo.
The EIA Annual Energy Outlook 2010 reports that shale plays make up 2.75 Tcf of current U.S. natural gas production, with this number expected to reach 6 Tcf in 2035.
Roth noted that North American shale gas reservoirs currently account for six of the 22 largest gas fields worldwide based on estimated recoverable reserves, with average recovery factors about 20 percent.
Since the now-legendary George Mitchell and his dedicated Mitchell Energy team of experts succeeded in devising the particular fracing technique needed to spur economic production from the original big daddy of shale gas plays – the Barnett – shale-focused technology has evolved considerably.
This includes horizontal drilling and completions, supported by 3-D seismic, microseismic and FMI (Fullbore Formation MicroImager), FMS (Formation Micro Scanner) among other measurements.
Sounds like the operators have mastered the shales, huh?
How naïve.
Nothing is simple in this industry, and even some of the most experienced shale players often have to step back and do a bit (a lot?) of head scratchin'.
There are shales, and there are shales.
North American shale gas basins generally follow a trend of thrust belts and a Mississippian/Devonian shale fairway from western Canada and into the western, southern and eastern United States, according to Roth.
Serving as source, trap and seal, shale beds have characteristics that vary not only from region to region but also within specific plays and fields. In fact, there often are significant well-to-well variations in gas production within a single field.
"Part of this variability in production performance is related to evolutionary and company-to-company differences in best practices fracturing," Roth said. "Surprisingly, after nearly 30 years of development and over 14,000 wells, wellbore lengths and completions parameters in the Barnett Shale of Texas can vary by factors of two or more, pointing to the challenge and non-uniqueness of production optimization."
Where there is large variability in production from well to well, it clearly tends to challenge any assumption that shales and their indigenous hydrocarbons are simple and consistent.
Transform is throwing the book at the challenge.
"Our approach is to integrate all of the geophysical, geological and engineering data," Roth said. "Engineers tend to want to treat the shales as 'gas factories,' laying down a well every 10 or 20 acres and developing the fields in a very methodical mode.
"This works in some cases, but an integrated approach is needed for optimization in most plays," he noted. "For instance, well-to-well production can often vary by a factor of two or more if you haven't used seismic data to determine where the fairways are."
To try to understand the variances in gas shales, Transform has conducted a study that integrates published data, type logs, accessible seismic and microseismic data along with five years experience across most significant North American shale gas basins, according to Roth.
The tabulation of shale gas reservoir characteristics and well log analysis highlights key production differentiators including clay content, pressure and total organic carbon.
"It's our work with 3-D seismic and microseismic that clearly supports the concept of shale gas 'sweet spot' fairways and converse 'dead zones,'" Roth said.
"Whether it's faulting in the Woodford, karst collapse chimneys in the Barnett, natural fracturing in the Marcellus or relative clay content across many plays, seismic and microseismic data provide valuable calibration and prediction tools for mapping productive and/or non-productive fairways," he noted.
There's motivation aplenty for folks to perform some scientific detective work on the slew of shale deposits.
Roth noted that 60 potentially economic shale gas plays have been identified in North America, and shale "fever" is spreading quickly overseas in Poland, Germany, Austria and other countries.
And it's not all about gas, owing to the relatively high price for crude oil.
For example, activity is full-speed-ahead in the highly productive Bakken shale oil play in North Dakota, and also in gas-liquids-rich shale plays such as the Eagle Ford in Texas.

I've shared some bizarre horror stories about adults being victimized by anti-gun fanaticism, including the Washington, DC, man who got fined $1,000 for saving a child's life and a British man who got arrested for finding a gun and turning it over to the police.
But I get more worried about the future of the country when I read reports of children being subjected to this kind of politically correct nonsense.
Consider, for instance, these absurd details from a local news report.
A Massachusetts kindergartener has been given detention and could be suspended from the bus after bringing a Lego-sized gun to school last week. …the incident happened on an Old Mill Pond Elementary School bus in Palmer last week. A 6-year-old had the toy gun, which is slightly larger than a quarter, on the bus and it was seen by another student, who alerted the bus driver. The boy's mother, Mieke Crane, said her son had to write a letter of apology to the driver, was given detention and could be temporarily suspended from the bus.
Reading that passage, I don't know whether to be more angry with the bratty tattle-tale kid who told the bus driver, or with the bus driver who obviously must have informed the school.
Both of them could use some serious counseling.
But that's just part of the story.
The school sent home a letter to parents explaining what happened, stressing no gun was on the bus and there was never any danger. "(The driver) said he caused quite a disturbance on the bus and that the children were traumatized," Crane told WGGB.
A letter to parents about a tiny plastic toy gun?!? Are the bureaucrats in this school so under-worked that they have time to waste on such nonsense? If I was a parent in this school district, I would put my kids in a private school.

Where to buy a chandelier and what to look for:
1. I LOVE buying things used. So I'm most likely to head off to the nearest second hand and antique shops to find an old chandelier to breathe new life into. I found this one at a yard sale. You can also find a plethora of them on eBay on any given day. Just make sure you double check the measurements to be certain you find the right size. Photos can be misleading and often the chandelier will appear larger then it really is in a picture. I have paid anywhere from $50 to $300 for a used chandelier.
2. I am partial to thinner more delicate ironwork. The older chandeliers are usually this way with modern ones being heavier in weight and bulkier in design. At least that's what I've found.
3. When possible buy a chandelier that has no glossy paint or lacquered finish. This creates an extra step of needing to sand the finish before you paint. .4. Don't worry if crystals are missing. You can pick up cheap ones at a local hardware shop or go upscale and order some of the new Swarovski chandelier crystals online. I'll tell you where later when we get to that step.
5. If the chandelier isn't wired or you don't trust the condition of the wires you can take it to a lamp shop and pay to have it professionally wired. This usually costs me around $50.00 (US) to do. The cord can be then be made to be any length so if you know where you'll be displaying your new chandelier pre-measure the length from the lamp to the hook, then the hook to a second hook along the wall then to your outlet. If you're hardwiring straight into the ceiling pre-measure that as well. Hey it's a custom fit so as long as you're starting from scratch why not get it right?
6. Don't worry if the little plastic sleeves are missing over where the light comes up. We'll be replacing those with beaded covers later so that's ok if they're missing or in poor condition.
7. There isn't enough chain attached to the chandelier. Not to worry. Again a trip to your local hardware shop and you can pick up some chain at very little cost.
Just for fun. That's my dog in the background. He has his own website www.CutestDogEver.com

Raghda's deteriorating health a rumor
Raghda insists her health is fine.
More >
Syrian actress Raghda has denied recent circulating rumors that her health condition has deteriorated and that she is suffering from a dangerous disease to the point of being bedridden and paralyzed.
Raghda stated quite the opposite, claiming that her condition has improved tremendously and the rumor of her going abroad to receive medical treatment has been greatly exaggerated by the media.
The actress said that the rumor that has her contracting a dangerous disease is simply not true. The truth of the matter is that she had a bad cough and an inflammation in her chest but after taking the right medications and abiding by the doctor's orders to rest, she has improved tremendously.

A country needs stronger incentives to increase exploration investment in high-risk isolated frontier and deepwater areas. Tax consolidation is one of the possible incentives to raise exploration investment level in those frontier areas. Tax consolidation means that expenditures of non-producing contract(s) can be deducted from the income of producing contracts of the same contractor(s) for determination of taxable income. From the government point of view, the application of tax consolidation represents its current investment for future income. In this study, risk analysis of the application of tax consolidation in frontier areas was taken with Monte Carlo simulation to identify its impact on the Government of Indonesia (GOI) income and on the profitability of contractor as well as quantifying the risk involves respectively. The result showed, that from contractor's financial aspect, tax consolidation was more attractive incentive compared to increase in production sharing split. On the other hand, it was less attractive to the GOI, not only because it reduced GOI's NPV, but it also posed high risk to the GOI.

Kowalski: Ok. Based on everything I know about zombies, the safest place to hide is in a dark room with creepy lighting.
(Skipper follows them into a similar room)
Kowalski: EVERYTHING I'VE LEARNED IS A LIE!!!
Things that make Skipper look like a zombie:
1. Skipper breaks his left flipper, which gets bandaged up.
2. Skipper is given a topical cream, which relaxes his vocal cords too much and cause him to babble gibberish.
3. Skipper breaks his left foot, which causes him to limp.
4. Skipper gets covered in white powder.
5. Skipper gets covered in gauze material.
6. Skipper gets a bit red in the eyes.
7. Skipper has some gauze material on his right flipper.
Second time the Penguins think that one of them has 'gone' (died). First time was with Private in "Skorca!". In this episode, it's Skipper.

Visit Caithness and Sutherland
Caithness and Sutherland together form the most northerly counties on mainland Britain. Their combined area of 764,094 hectares is nearly half the size of Wales, and with a population about that of an average English town (less than 40,000) – the sense of freedom and space is both refreshing and inspiring. Each county has its own distinctly individual character and beauty, fashioned by their respective cultural influences and landscapes.
Caithness, by virtue of its position and relative fertility, experienced successive invasions by the Norse who maintained a stronghold around the coastal plain for centuries. A testament to the fact that Caithness was once more part of Norway than Scotland can be seen in the abundance of place names with Viking origins. Sutherland however, with its more rugged topography, resisted the advances from the north and east and, still to this day, maintains its strong connections with Celtic traditions. These are most evident in the use of Gaelic translations for towns and villages on road signs. It could be said that Caithness has a quiet appeal when compared to the immediate attraction of its neighbouring county, but there is little doubt that the openness, the huge skies and the impressive seascapes have an intoxication of their own which is irresistible and draws visitors back to the county year after year.
For many seasoned travellers there are few places in the world to match the mountains, moors and beaches of Sutherland. The combination of colour and texture can, at times, be quite magical.
Outstanding highlights include Dunrobin Castle, Dornoch and Royal Dornoch Golf Club, The Castle of Mey, the Falls of Shin Visitor Centre, Smoo Cave at Durness, and of course John O'Groats. Regular ferries run form Scrabster, near Thurso, to the sublime Orkney Islands

Australian firm Charles Wright Architects used a mixture of precast and in-situ concrete to construct a house that can withstand the most powerful cyclones in northern Queensland (+ slideshow).
The two-storey residence hangs over the edge of a lake in a beachfront rainforest area that is prone to tropical cyclones at the top end of the meteorological scales. The chunky cantilevered volumes are not only strong enough to withstand these cyclones but also prevent water from getting in during any accompanying floods.
Charles Wright Architects designed the building to be self-sufficient, so it functions entirely off-grid. Solar panels on the roof generate electricity, while a 250,000-litre water system lets residents take advantage of rainwater harvesting and grey-water recycling technologies.
"The aim was not to simply produce an engineered outcome," explain the architects, "but to produce a building which made the most of the site's natural amenity and reintroduced the surrounding native wetland environment."
Named Stamp House, the building has an embellished exterior featuring a grid of circular indents that dot across the walls and roof.
The entrance to the building is located on the uppermost floor and is accessed by crossing a long bridge over the water. Inside, a large central living room accommodates various seating areas, a kitchen, a dining room and a gym. Bedrooms are situated in the wings.
Other houses designed to withstand intense weather conditions include a concrete bungalow on a Japanese island prone to typhoons and a conceptual tornado-proof house.
See more houses in Australia, including a blackened-timber residence outside Melbourne.
Here's some more information from Charles Wright Architects:
Stamp House
CWA were approached by the project client to deliver a carbon neutral (in operation) solution for an environmentally sensitive site off-grid on the edge of the FNQ beachfront rainforest. The aim was not to simply produce an engineered outcome but to produce a building which made the most of the site's natural amenity and reintroduced the surrounding native wetland environment. The building is literally reflected by way of its siting over an engineered water ecosystem which was the result of lengthy liaison and collaboration with National Parks, Environmental Agencies, State and Local Government.
The design is formed in an innovative combination of in-situ and precast concrete. The concrete has been engineered and insulated incorporating a total solar panelled roof to provide for a constant cooler and more comfortable ambient temperature year-round. The design utilises massive cantilevers to mitigate impact from potential flooding and king tide inundation associated with cyclonic activity. The project has been designed to be solid and to withstand intense cyclones.
ESD initiatives include: total 250,000 ltr water harvesting, recycling and reticulation, renewable solar energy generation with solar backup non-reliant on fossil fuel backup generation, On-site Advanced Tertiary Sewerage treatment plant, grey water recycling and irrigation, Shaded and Insulated Thermal mass engineering, 'green' cooling and energy conservation controlled via building automation system (CBUS).

The V-Moda XS on-ear headphones produce above average sound, but do carry pitfalls. They thrive at the low end of the mid-range delivering some genres near perfectly, but can struggle when highs compete with lower frequencies. Sound aside, the custom twist adds a true personal touch.
V-Moda is one of the less known audio brands in Australia; the manufacturer doesn't have the reputation of Sennheiser or the social hype of Beats down under. Unlike its competitors, though, the V-Moda XS on-ear headphones aren't just about sound; they offer a unique touch by allowing you to customise the metal plates which sit on the outside of the earcups. But while they offer a twist to conventional design, the XS' custom element isn't enough to overshadow some of the pitfalls in their sound.
Note: this review unit was supplied by Busisoft, V-Moda's exclusive distributor in Australia.
The XS headphones might appear flimsy at first, but V-Moda has ensured they are a solid pair while maintaining enough flexibility for comfort. The headband is tough, but can be stretched to fit around larger heads without issue. Each earcup is joined to the headband by two pieces of metal, which connect by way of a hinge that allows the headphones to be folded inwards. The XS headphones are comfortable for mid-length listening sessions; you'll have no trouble keeping them on for an hour or so. After that, fatigue sets in by way of pressure on the ears and top of the head.
The headphones' only vulnerability is the audio cable that carries sound to the earcups via the headband; the design of the device forces this cable to be exposed. It isn't a major flaw as we doubt it will be damaged unless the headphones are handled recklessly. That said, V-Moda could take an alternative approach to hide the cable; the XS headphones already have an input in each earcup (only one is used, but they are there to allow you to choose whichever side is more convenient), so introducing a cable which splits in two could work.
The upside of the on-ear fit is that it creates a seal to reduce external sound interference. It's far from a perfect enclosure (it certainly can't match over-ear headphones), but it helps especially because the headphones do not use active noise cancelling technology.
We should mention that V-Moda ships the XS with a kevlar-coated auxiliary cable, which unlike the standard rubber kind does not cling to clothing or other materials and will therefore not tug at the headphones and cause them to slip out of position.
The cable also has an in-line microphone and controller, but the latter only has a play/pause button which doubles as a pick-up/hang-up feature for phone calls; no volume rocker to be found here. V-Moda sells a dedicated microphone extension for $49. It is too expensive for what it offers, but gamers (particularly those with desktop replacement who frequent LANs) may find value in this more portable option when compared to traditional headsets like the Sennheiser G4ME Zero headphones.
Like with the other over- and on-ear headphones in V-Moda's product range, the hexagonal plate which sits atop the XS' earcups can be customised. V-Moda offers a series of colour options, and you can also opt for text or a logo/design to be engraved on the metal.
If you are Australian and want custom plates (without ordering directly from the US Web site), you need to contact Busisoft and specify which colour and/or logo/text you want. The custom plates are priced at $30, $70, and $100 depending on the level of customisation.
We must note the headphones do not ship with a tool to unscrew the plates, but V-Moda does include these if you order a custom set.
The XS headphones are ideal for users who prefer sound that leans towards bass but isn't altogether obsessed with the low end of the spectrum. The headphones' strong point is the lower end of middle frequencies. They are somewhat typically modern in that sense; using 40mm Dual-Diaphragm High Fidelity drivers, they pack a punch without going straight for the knockout blow, which in turn keeps them open to being used for various genres.
"Edge of the Earth" by metal band, Volumes, is an example of this. The XS' powerful delivery of mids brings electric rhythm guitar, bass guitar and vocals to the fore, followed by the bass drum, tom tom, and cymbals, in that order. The tail end almost struggles to keep up as highs wash about depending on how busy the song is at any given moment.
This is really the headphones' main weak point; they are unable to maintain sound segmentation and detail during high-traffic songs, which in this case causes highs to suffer. This occurs across all volumes, and becomes slightly overbearing at maximum volume. We recommend keeping your source at about 85 per cent to avoid losing clarity.
What makes the XS headphones really enjoyable is their ability to flawlessly manage volume levels, providing a multi-directional feel. This is most evident in slower songs in which instruments, samples, and vocals aren't clustered. The Chrome Sparks song "Marijuana" demonstrates this perfectly. The first minute of the song plays with your ears and mind as notes jump from left to right consistently, coupled with migrating vocals; the movement can be tracked as volume balance transitions across from one side to the other.
The XS headphones do the same with Andrea Roma's "Sorority Sisters," but not quite as well due to the faster pace of the tune. This effect does mostly rely on the production of each individual song, but the headphones' ability to deliver sound in this way reflects its attention to detail within electronic music.
The XS' bass itself is interesting. It can cause a rumble without producing static, but isn't powerful enough to keep bass-heads satisfied. The bass build-up in "Under the Influence" by the Chemical Brothers demonstrates this; the bass starts slow, then ascends to its peak at which it becomes punchy, but not quite dynamic. The headphones' delivery isn't effortless. Whether this is a good or bad thing is solely up to you, but nonetheless, bass is rich and far from flat.
On the flipside, songs which weren't produced with low frequencies in mind become crisp at the hands of the XS. Take "Goddess" by Chrome Sparks as an example. There is plenty going on, but the subdued bass production allows for high notes to sound intricate.
The area in which the XS headphones left us underwhelmed was while listening to acoustic- and vocal-driven songs. City and Colour is one such artist we couldn't truly enjoy with this pair, and this is due to the preference for mids, which left us wanting more from the acoustic guitar, piano and at times even vocals, all of which would be monetarily flustered by inconsistent lower tones.
Your experience with the V-Moda XS headphones will depend on your preferences. We believe they are worth the investment, but they are definitely not for not everyone. For example, those who prefer electronica (and its plethora of variations), rock, hardcore, metal, and even blues will find good value in these headphones, but those who prefer a more balanced sound should look elsewhere. That said, the XS' value doesn't lie solely in their sound; the headphones are intended to be customised, and with the potential to truly build a unique set with the lingering V-Moda style, they can be an excellent investment, and potentially a great gift idea thanks to their customisation.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The rest would get wireless broadband, while the truly rural would have access to a new class of satellite service that can deliver a least 12Mbps to the entire country. Too modest! says the report. Instead, Australia should bump its fiber build up to 93 percent, provide fixed wireless service for four percent, and Ka-band satellite service for the remaining three percent—and it can all be done in eight years and on budget.

Critical Essay by Frederick M. Keener
SOURCE: Keener, Frederick M. "Candide: Structure and Motivation." In The Chain of Becoming: The Philosophical Tale, the Novel, and a Neglected Realism of the Enlightenment: Swift, Montesquieu, Voltaire, Johnson, and Austen, pp. 194-216. New York: Columbia University Press, 1983.
In this essay, originally published in 1979, Keener focuses on the characterization of Candide, contending that despite Voltaire's use of him as a marionette in the work, he deserves consideration as a character.
Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. Immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. … I do not have any need to think; if I can pay, others will take over the tedious job for me.
—Kant, "What is Enlightenment?"1
That Candide the character is a marionette has become a commonplace in criticism...

"With over 5m properties and assets worth £132.2bn in England and Wales at risk from flooding, Shoothill and the Environment Agency (EA) have released the world's first visual representation of live flood information on Facebook - FloodAlerts. "FloodAlerts uses data supplied by EA experts and displays pin-point accurate shapes on a BING map represented as different colours depending on the extent and severity of each flood warning (updated every 15 minutes). "Facebook users can register any location they want to monitor and if a relevant alert is issued, they then receive a notification on their Facebook wall and to their email address."
Its a really amazing application, and given some of the recent bad weather we have had here in the UK, well worth checking out:
And for an application that needed to run 24 x 7 and scale to meet the demands that such an application needs to handle, which platform did Shoothill choose? Windows Azure of course!

Alpaca My Bags: Eric Hoffman says Ziggy (front) and McDuff represent the best and the brightest of the camelid species.
The Emperor of Alpacas
Eric Hoffman discovered the golden fleece--and no, it isn't itchy
By Tai Moses
ON A RAINY DAY in 1976, Eric Hoffman met a llama that changed his life. He was visiting friends in Northern California who lived near a llama farm, and he walked over to check it out.
A llama came up to the fence and looked at him with, as Hoffman would later describe it, "the quiet resolve that is purely llama." On impulse, Hoffman shelled out $700 and bought the llama, whose name was Sunny.
Eric and two buddies took Sunny backpacking in the Sierra--the first time a pack llama had ever been in the national park system. They climbed the summit of Mt. Whitney and trekked 110 miles across the Sierra (Sunny carried all the gear). Hoffman wrote an article about the expedition titled "Sunny, the Pioneer Llama." It was published in California Living, the former magazine of the San Francisco Chronicle, and it launched his career as a writer.
Eight years and many llamas later, serendipity again smiled upon Hoffman in animal form. He was hosting the International Llama Conference at the Cocoanut Grove. Some importers had brought an exotic animal into the United States, a smaller, woollier cousin of the llama native to the Andes of Peru, Chile and Bolivia.
"They unloaded them here, and as soon as I saw them, I knew this is where I wanted to go. This is it: I'm there."
Eric Hoffman had been smitten by an alpaca--the llama's better angel.
Today, the descendants of those first intrepid South American immigrants graze the gently sloping acreage behind Hoffman's home in Bonny Doon, site of the only alpaca farm in Santa Cruz County. Hoffman, now 54, has become an alpaca breeder and an internationally recognized authority on alpacas and llamas as well as their wild camelid cousins, vicuñas and guanacos. "What's odd," he reflects, "is that meeting Sunny kicked off two things--this whole animal world, and the writing thing took off too."
Meet the Alpacas
A GROUP OF young male alpacas gazes at a visitor quizzically, alfalfa straw poking out the corners of their rubbery lips and clinging to their shaggy coats. They are droll, gentle, curious creatures who look as if they have sprung fully realized from the imagination of Dr. Seuss.
About half the size of a llama, alpacas are covered in copious amounts of thick fleece. They have two-toed feet with soft pads, floppy topknots and enormous eyes fringed by long lashes.
Alpacas are utterly absurd and they are also positively beautiful. It is this unlikely combination, more than their practical use as wool bearers, that makes them so enchanting. "I just find them endearing," Hoffman says. "I like the way they interact. They're very communicative animals."
Hoffman's alpacas don't seem to mind that, instead of grazing the alta plano, the high, empty plains of the Andes, they are living the easy life in rural 95060. They don't mind much, in fact, as long as they have each other.
A solitary alpaca is a anxious alpaca. These camelids are herd animals that believe religiously in the idea of security in numbers. No alpaca ever gets a wild hair and decides to run away from home. No alpaca ever yearns to spend a night alone meditating on a mountaintop. An alpaca, even in a fit of pique, will stay close to its buddies.
In his memoirs, British actor Sir Alec Guinness recalled his first sight of a herd of alpacas. "They look lovely and not as daunting as llamas. I want one for my birthday, but I fear the idea will be frowned on. Only as a pet, of course, and perhaps as a pullover."
Their fluffy appearance does suggest a penchant for cuddliness, but they are actually rather reserved. "They don't fawn on you like a dog," Eric says. "They're basically sort of wild, but they go along with whatever you're trying to get done."
What he's trying to get done right now is to single out one alpaca from the herd. He eyes the yearlings, who in turn eye him back. They don't seem disturbed; just quietly and penetratingly observant, like Zen masters. "Maybe we should grab some of these guys," Hoffman suggests.
He approaches them with arms spread wide, as if encircling them with an invisible fence. There is no whooping or whistling in alpaca wrangling; such crude techniques would only insult the intelligence and subtlety of alpaca nature.
The yearlings move quickly away en masse, with the harmonious symmetry of a school of fish. An aerial view would show a large carpet of fluff, moving gracefully this way then that. On padded feet, they are almost noiseless. This schooling behavior, he explains, is called a "banding instinct. In the alta plano, there's no cover; the only thing they have to hide behind is each other."
He gently grabs a yearling, and everyone else dashes to one end of the paddock and turns as a single alpacan body to regard Hoffman with wide, astonished eyes. Actually, the audience has grown; every single alpaca in the adjoining corrals has lined up at the fence and is watching the show with rapt attention, like spectators at a rodeo.
The yearling knows the game is up and submits peacefully. These alpacas are mild-mannered chaps; they are not fighters. They don't bite or butt; they have no horns, hooves or incisors. Hoffman parts the yearling's thick silvery gray fleece to reveal a silky undercoat, a dense, soft, odorless abundance of luxuriant, lustrous wool.
The Running of the Wools: Surefooted and graceful, alpacas are light on their feet and quiet--even during one of their favorite recreations, running downhill at full speed.

Getting Fleeced
IN THE mid-'90s, a team of archeologists discovered the mummified remains of a young woman, victim of a human sacrifice to the Inca gods, high in the Peruvian Andes. Her body was wrapped in an intricately patterned weaving made of alpaca wool.
The weaving, its colors still vivid, was in virtually perfect condition after being frozen, buried for some 500 years and unearthed in the melting ice. It looked, said one of the archeologists, "as if it were made yesterday."
That legendary durability has made alpaca a prized luxury fiber among artisanal weavers and knitters, and European fashion designers. Garments made from alpaca are five times warmer than sheep's wool, water-resistant, and come in a palette of natural earth tones from black to white and everything in between, including fawn, russet and silver.
"Various Andean cultures over a period of about 6,000 years created an animal with 22 natural colors," Hoffman explains, "which is a phenomenal feat in terms of genetic projects."
But, are they itchy?
To settle the question once and for all, Hoffman presents two sweaters--one in a multicolored geometric pattern, the other a silver-fawn shade he calls rose gray. "This," he says proudly, proffering the rose-gray sweater, "is McDuff." A touch confirms that the finely spun wool is feathery light and even softer than cashmere.
McDuff--who may soon put his stamp on a whole line of McDuffwear--is one of Hoffman's alpaca studs. He shares a corral with another stud, Ziggy. McDuff is a huacaya alpaca, with fluffy, crimped fiber that grows outward into a voluminous puffball. Ziggy is a suri, a much more rare type of alpaca. Only 10 percent of the world's alpacas are suris. A suri's fleece is supersoft; it has no crimp but spirals off their body in fine ropy ringlets that resemble dreadlocks.
Like many professional gigolos, Ziggy and McDuff have rather high opinions of themselves. A handful of grass offered to Ziggy elicits a piercing screech from McDuff that sounds like a loose fan belt. In response, Ziggy begins to spit at the back of McDuff's head. Scandalized by this breech of alpaca etiquette, McDuff enthusiastically returns the spit.
"It's a cantankerous relationship," Eric observes tactfully. "Ziggy is a very dominating animal. He's a nice guy in a lot of ways, but he doesn't know how to back off."
Unlike some other crabbier camelids, alpacas seldom spit at humans. "Spitting is a last resort," Hoffman says. "They'll telegraph what they want to do first."
Stand next to an alpaca for any length of time, and you may hear it hum--a creaky, soothing, kazoolike murmur. Humming is one of the more common alpaca vocalizations. They hum to themselves, and they hum to each other.
"The mothers and babies hum back and forth; it's a bonding thing. And they make an alarm call that sounds like a loud quacking; they also 'orgle' when they're breeding, which is sort of like"--here Hoffman emits a squishy rumble that sounds like a seal clearing its throat.
Alpacas, Accidentally
HOFFMAN'S RUSTIC, light-filled house, which he built back in the early '70s when land in Santa Cruz County was cheap and plentiful, is filled with weavings, paintings, pottery and baskets from his 40 or so trips to the Andes.
Today the camelid expert is wearing a brown fleece, made not from alpacas, but by Patagonia. Stuck to his sleeve are a few flakes of alfalfa hay. He pads about the house in soft leather scuffs, and his thatch of silver-gray hair is rumpled. He is shaggy and inquisitive and ruminative, not unlike his extended alpaca family.
Lately, Hoffman has been greeting visitors with the dreamy, preoccupied expression of a writer immersed in a project. He is updating the third edition of his reference work, The Alpaca Book, "the bible for alpaca breeders." Come July, however, he's off to Chile, where he'll screen alpacas for a DNA-based registry much like the Alpaca Registry he created here in 1988, which contains the genealogy, blood types and ownership records of nearly every one of the 30,000 alpacas now in the United States.
"The reason I wrote it was so llamas wouldn't be bred with alpacas, since marketers will sometimes breed a cheaper animal with a more expensive [one]. What I was trying to do was preserve the genetic qualities of the alpaca. The U.S. now has the largest population of alpacas in the world that can't be crossbred."
Alpaca breeders in Britain, Australia and New Zealand have copied his registry, and he occasionally gets requests to create registries for other animals; for instance, a rare French donkey called the Baudet du Poitou. Like most of the four-legged creatures dear to Eric's heart, the Poitou is something of an oddball. "It's a monster of an animal; it's as big as a huge draft horse and weighs 1,400 pounds. It's a superhairy donkey with ears 22 inches long."
Fleece Season: Alpacas are smaller and a little shier than llamas; they have gentle personalities; their fleece is softer than cashmere; they eat less than horses; and their padded feet don't tear up pastures.
Pullovers to Pronking
HOFFMAN LIKES to let the alpacas out to forage in the open area between their corrals. As he unlatches the gate, the herd begins to trot slowly toward him. When one moves, the others follow as if drawn by magnets. It's like the night of the living alpacas.
The clan tucks into the tall green grass with the fanaticism of true grazers. "They're good eaters," he says admiringly, as his herd rips mouthfuls of grass. "Happy campers."
Like many long-domesticated animals, alpacas have some remarkably humanlike traits. For example, they have faces. A gallery of a hundred alpaca portraits would reveal a hundred different alpaca faces. And any alpaca owner will tell you that alpacas are true characters, with preferences, eccentricities and distinctive personalities all their own, both contrary and sweet.
So it seems natural and right that Eric talks about his alpacas with the affectionate familiarity usually reserved for close friends and family members. They are his people. At the moment, he's thoughtfully probing the psyches of several of the crias, which is what baby alpacas are called.
"Mauricio's always insecure, so is William. You never see William away from his mother--his idea of life is to stay right on top of Mom." Sure enough, William, a little white suri, and his mother stroll around, nose to tail like circus elephants.
"What's funny is these other ones will play and interact, but I've never seen William step out on his own." Eric watches William for a moment and shakes his head. "That guy needs a psychiatrist."
"Then look at Annie, who half the time can't figure out who her mother is." Annie, an adorable white cria, is boldly going where no alpaca has gone before. "Annie's an interesting little animal, she's very independent. You hardly ever see her with her mother."
"That one, Alice, is eating like a horse," he observes, which is a funny thing to say since it would take 10 alpacas to eat as much as a horse. "She's just like a vacuum cleaner. She's a funny animal. She's a Peruvian import, and most of them are very standoffish--she's very bold. My guess is some Indian kids befriended her. She's just not fearful."
"I always like how they segregate themselves by age," he adds. Most of the crias have congregated a short distance away from the boring grown-ups. Without warning, Annie suddenly springs vertically into the air, demonstrating the astounding four-legged alpaca hop known as "pronking." Pronking is how a happy, healthy cria expresses herself.
"They do it near the end of the day," says Hoffman. "The babies start to play, and one of them will pronk through the group to pick up any more playful people, and somebody else will follow and eventually you get a whole line of animals all pronking together.
"The other day, they were all lined up and racing around and coming down the hill pronking at 100 miles an hour."
This gives him an idea.
"Hey kids, you want to go up the hill?"
The alpacas raise their heads, clumps of grass clinging to their short, velvety muzzles. Eric spreads his arms to deploy the invisible fence and shoos his people up to the top of the hill.
As the herd thunders back down the hill, nostrils wide, padded feet thrumming on the hardened earth, several crias spring into the air, twisting their heads and arching their backs in joyous pronking--a spontaneous performance that really has nothing to do with locomotion and everything to do with the exuberance of being alive and being an alpaca.

West With the Night (autobiography) by Beryl Markham
West With the Night is a poetic tale of Ms. Markham's adventurous life in Africa. As a bush pilot during the '30's, she carves avionic history by being the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean flying east to west.
I have read this book twice! Why? Because it is masterfully written. Don't take my word for it. Listen to what Ernest Hemingway (who happened to rub shoulders with Ms. Markham) had to say--
"...she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer."
As I was saying, Markham takes literature to a higher level. Her first hand account with wild elephants, lions, and warthogs will make you wish you were there (or not). This book is funny, dangerous, melodic, peaceful, and tragic! Don't pass up Markham's masterpiece!

Shearer drops permanent hint
Interim Newcastle manager Alan Shearer says he is enjoying his current role at the club, fuelling speculation that he may retain the job beyond the end of the season.
The Magpies gave their chances of survival an enormous boost on Monday with a 3-1 victory over fellow strugglers Middlesbrough at St James' Park.
On Saturday, Shearer's side face another home clash with Fulham and can virtually assure their safety if they are victorious and Hull are beaten by Bolton.
When asked if he was sad to be missing out on his television commitments to manage Newcastle, he had a simple answer.
"No, I'm not missing it at all," Shearer said.
Enjoyment"I am thoroughly enjoying this. I have said every week that, despite not winning, I have enjoyed it.
"But you enjoy it a hell of a lot more when the results go your way, like Monday against Middlesbrough. Now I will be looking for that again.
"I have not had any free time at all in the past few weeks, but I didn't expect any. I have no complaints and have enjoyed it - if we continue to get results, I will enjoy it even more."
At the moment, Joe Kinnear is scheduled to return to the helm after he has recovered from heart surgery but players such as Steven Taylor and Kevin Nolan have recently hailed Shearer's transformation of the club with Nolan stating he wants to see the 38-year-old continue as manager.
Shearer also confirmed that there has been no change to the Joey Barton situation at a pre-match press-conference on Friday.
It is thought that Newcastle will welcome offers for the 26-year-old midfielder in the upcoming transfer window.

It appears to me that Guerlain was trying to reach a younger audience with the store's modern decor. The displays were designed to be more user friendly with low counters, well-lit and easy to see merchandise, and self-serve vanity tables where customers were encouraged to test the makeup at their leisure.
