I wish they would have fixed the problem first. Then pointed fingers later. I do not understand why oil has to be drilled so far out any way. It is easier and safer to drill on land. When there is a problem, it can be fixed right away. When I worked on the drilling rigs there were certian things that had to be done. All safety. There are inspectors that come around and enforce the regulations to prevent things that can happen. The contracts were enforced for the well leasers and the property owners. Our rig employees treated the areas where we drilled at like we were drilling on our own land!!! Like it is supposed to be!!! I do not know about in the Gulf but off of the coast of California the reason why they were drilling so far off the coast was because to get the "eye sores" out of sight for the sight seers. To me a person has to look beyond that. On what that machinery does, they are quite a marvel.June 20 2010 at 10:09 PM Report abuse Permalink +2 rate up rate down Reply
It is shocking that we, the American Public and Congress, continue to espouse the conjecture that "Business Knows Best" and we continue to subjectively administer the Government on the Old Adage that "What's Good for General Motors is good for America" and we let the large Oil Companies waste, by burning off, huge amounts of methane-natural gas without Debate or penalty because it is inconvenient for the Oil Companies to plan for the Utilization of this Rare Depletion Product. They used to say in the Chicago Meat Packing Industry that they use everything but the Squeal in the meat processing business. We should insist that Conservation of Natural Gas in the Production of Oil be the Obedient Motto of this decade! It is entirely possible that this whole Gulf Tragedy can be traced to this irreligious indifference to Conservation of Methane and it initiated the entire Gulf Tragedy. I think some materialistic person on or off the Drilling Platform said, so we have got a bubble of gas down there that we have no Conversation Plan for; so we will just burn it off uncontrolled. And that person issued the Order to let err Rip. The Gas Bubble was obviously so huge it took the Platform, with them on it, and caused the fire. If they had planned and provided for the conservation capture of the methane, this whole catastrophe may not have happened.

Obama isn't the probem. Democrats did not deregulate just about every environmental protection. Congress is focusing on finding a scapegoat and making sure there is enough federal largesse spread around to guarantee solons from states affected by the oil spill to get themselves elected again. Here is the real rub: The Republican Party has turned into a back bench "no" saying crowd of do nothing hacks. But, he who appears to fix the oil spill (i.e. spend money) is going to be a hero. For the Republicans to take credit they are going to have to stop their nay-saying juggernaught and step up to the plate. Who ever the Republican strategist is who dreamed up this end-game scourged earth opposition policy needs to start dreaming up new ways to reach across the isle, before the lone ranger who is at plate right now gets all the notoriety.June 18 2010 at 2:27 PM Report abuse Permalink -6 rate up rate down Reply
Yes ,I miss the days of Jimmy Carters government caused gas shortages because he levied a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. This was so there would be money for alternative fuels research. So what did the oil companies do...they made less profit by pumping less oil and making less gas....and VOILA
INSTANT GAS SHORTAGE.... who could forget the innovation of ODD AND EVEN GAS FULL UP DAYS AND 8 GALLON MAXIMUM PURCHASES. Yes sirree Bob ,those were the days!! of course after 3 months of no gas ,they reversed the tax and voila no more gas lines. gee now the Big O wants to tax big oil and everyone else for alternative energy research....I wonder what will happen THIS TIME. Only this time gas will be $5.00 or more ,we will sink into a depression because of the increase in energy cost and it will take a decade to get out of the damage caused by the energy king. Of course he will be long out of office by the time we work thru this mess..but hey he meant well.....Now that boys and girls is what happens when you get naive inexperience meeting the real world....those who cause the mess are merrily on their way are the public suffers from the sheer stupidity of the actions......but hey that's why we elect Democrats...just meaning well is enough.
Make fun of Jimmy Carter all you want, but there's no denying some of what he said made sense. The housing debacle is a perfect example of Americans thinking they DESERVE 2000+ sq. ft. homes, and bankers/agents convincing them they CAN afford them. Selfishness and high egos were stroked by bankers and real-estate agents, and we know the results. Carter's caution that American citizens should aim lower was roundly scoffed at, but it doesn't sound too radical now, does it?June 16 2010 at 11:08 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
i remember Carter threatening the Shah with withdrawal of fifty million in monetary support unless he let the Ayatollahs out of prison. they came out overthrew the Shah and Iran has been a mess ever since. Their students use to come and study here. That's what happens when you put the wrong man in as president.June 16 2010 at 8:16 PM Report abuse Permalink +11 rate up rate down Reply
Mr. President, Please stay true to your principles. It was the promise of change that got you elected. You now know real change is next to impossible. It is obvious that some self labeled "conservatives" are bent on your destruction, even it means diminishing the Office of the Presdent itself. "Conservatives" is placed in quotes to seperate partisan demagogues from the traditional, moderate, cautious and descreet individuals that want you, our President, and America to succeed. Conservatively yours, Ernest Valerius.June 16 2010 at 11:58 AM Report abuse Permalink -21 rate up rate down Reply

Shame on the President. BP has denied their people to use masks when doing cleanup so less cleanup is being done as their people get sick from not using masks. Shame on the President for not demanding ships come into this area to clean up. This oil spill is out of control and it seems our President has no clue as to what to do. He is showing he has no clue as how to be President.June 15 2010 at 9:34 PM Report abuse Permalink +19 rate up rate down Reply
If you "have a clue as to what to do", why don't you tell the rest of us? You would inevitably be go down in the history books, and would be honored as a hero.

Xanthadrene claims to help you to burn more fat, increase metabolism, decrease appetite, and multiply your results by 450% in just a few weeks. This being said, they also claim to specifically target belly fat, and they seem to sell through a few third party retailers out there. They claim that Xanthadrene will finally help you to get a revolutionary new fat burning compound and the best natural ingredients you will ever need. They claim that hoodia is "an excellent appetite suppressant", green tea is for energy, and it has fucoxanthin and pomegranate.
So how does Xanthadrene work?
Well, that remains an open question. While green tea is the only fat burner they have, they say it's for energy. Yes, energy is great, but not really great compared to all that they should be using to describe green tea. This being said, the other ingredients are not weight loss supplements. The research and otherwise on fucoxanthin is limited and biased to say the least, and no labs have actually been able to fake results for hoodia. All credible studies have shown that hoodia does not promote weight loss. This being said, it's obvious that pomegranate has no relation. All in all, they also fail to use the required amounts of anything including green tea.
Green tea -a powerful thermogenic fat burner, it requires 400mg. If they had this, they would bother disclosing it.
South African hoodia-hoodia has been hyped in the media on news programs and Oprah. However, had they done any research at all, they would have known that hoodia has actually been disproven in every major study. They tried to patent a form. But being that the original never worked, it failed. And then the South African government made it illegal to export hoodia from South Africa in the first place, the only place in which hoodia gordonii actually grows.
Pomegranate-a natural superfruit, this has been called the fruit of the dead among other things. This is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and other powerful nutrients meant for various purposes.
Fucoxanthin -it has been tested by one lab twice in Japan. They are the only ones who seem to be able to get those results, and all tests have been done on rats.
Xanthadrene side effects
Possible side effects of Xanthadrene include irregular heartbeat, chest pain, dizziness, headache, nausea, insomnia, mood swings, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, tension, anxiety, and high blood pressure.

Postgame thoughts: Hawks complete season sweep of 'Cats
A few thoughts after tonight's 104-92 win over the Bobcats:
– The Hawks were without four members of the active roster (Al Horford, Zaza Pachulia, Anthony Morrow and Devin Harris) due to injury. Harris was the only one of the four who traveled with the team, and although he practiced yesterday and was supposed to be available, he did not dress, leaving only 10 players in uniform. All 10 played significant minutes.
– Kyle Korver extended his consecutive games with a three-pointer streak to 36 by drilling one in the first quarter. Korver is shooting 45 percent from deep this season, which is four points higher than his career average. Tonight he made five of six from deep and shot 8-11 overall. Opponents will learn not to leave him at some point, right?
– Josh Smith filled up the stat line once again…30 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and three blocks.
– One thing the Hawks have been doing a lot this week is fouling. They were 28th in the league in fouls called against them before Minnesota but racked up 23 against the T'Wolves and 22 more tonight. Granted, the Hawks were undersized tonight without Horford and Pachulia.
– Despite the absence of their two centers, Atlanta out-rebounded Charlotte 45-41. Smith and Ivan Johnson combined for 28 of those.
– Johnson got his first start of the year and made the most of it. He scored 12 points and pulled down 15 rebounds, 10 of them in the first half. Ivan has had problems staying in games due to fouls lately but had only three tonight in nearly 32 minutes.
– Jannero Pargo, who the Hawks signed Monday after Lou Williams was ruled out for the season, played another quality game tonight. After scoring 16 points, 14 of them in the fourth quarter, in Monday's win, he scored all eight of his points tonight in the final frame. If you're keeping track, 22 of his 24 points have come in the final 12 minutes. Oh…and the Hawks are 2-0 in those games.
– With Pachulia missing tonight's game, Jeff Teague is the only Hawk who has played in every game this season. He has started all 42 of them.
Injuries are mounting for the Hawks. Luckily they were able to battle through it tonight to end a five-game road losing streak. Harris practiced Tuesday but didn't dress, so we hope he's available for the Boston game Friday. Horford and Pachulia both played Monday before sitting out of practice Tuesday, so hopefully the extra few days of rest will be enough for them as well. Anthony Morrow continues to receive treatment for a few nagging injuries, including his back. Maybe the best news from tonight is it's the first game in a while without an injury. Let's hope the health improves, as the next two are against the Celtics and Knicks.

93. Oneman – Ninety Three Mixtape
93. Oneman – Ninety Three Mixtape
First time we ever met Bok Bok I remember sittin backstage in Stereo with a blinking bar light, sat on cheap plastic seating with Jack Revill aka Jackmaster talking about how metronome-tight Oneman was – How he was 'techno tight'. I mean, a DJ's-DJ is kind of a rare thing in 2011 when even the guy who cleans your windows probably fucks with Serato. But Oneman is just that and here he explains why with an excellent tracklisting that's so on-point with references we love that we feel almost embarrassed like he dropped the Quiet Storm instrumental in just for us. Big up the head of 502.

After sitting dry for several years, Bumpers, Americas Car Wash, the vacant automated car wash that sits in front of Salmon Run Mall, is generating some interest.
The town of Watertown received a call on Monday from someone who is interested in reopening the car wash. The man identified himself as David Clements, but town Planning Board officials had no other information about him or his plans.
He is scheduled to appear at Monday nights Planning Board meeting to talk about his plans. The meeting will be held at 7 in the Town Hall, county Route 67.
In January 2006, the automated car wash opened, billed as the first of a franchise and a guinea pig for possible others in the north country. The owners, brothers who grew up in the Utica-Rome area, thought busy Arsenal Street would be an ideal location for a car wash. It closed within a year.

A Little Disappointed
By Ali
from Ontario
Have to admit, I am little disappointed with this brush set. I had high expectations being a Stila product. I find some of the brushes, the concealer in particular to be rough on the skin. Overall okay for the price, but would not purchase again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Google Glass is one of the most talked about devices on the planet and it hasn't even been released yet. It'll actually be quite some time as the search engine pushed its target date back to 2014, according to ComputerWorld.
Not all the buzz around Google's forthcoming foray into high-tech glasses is positive. NPR recently pointed out that the gadget was already mocked on Saturday Night Light, with Fred Armisen violently jerking his head around and repeating commands ad nauseam to operate a joke version of Google Glass. The news source jokingly recommends buying a neck brace in addition to the device.
Skepticism aside, Google Glass may represent the wave of the future for technology. Maybe in a couple years everyone will have a pair, smartphones will be relics and Apple fans will be touting the superiority of the iGlass.
The main concern of many professionals' is how Google Glass is going to affect business. Is this device just a minor blip not worth worrying about or is it the next big thing in technology?
Information everywhere
Ved Sen, head of mobility at Cognizant Technology Solutions, told the BBC that he expects Google Glass to represent a massive leap forward because it gives employees instant access to reams of data.
"Take a sales person walking into a client's office; they might be able to access instant information in front of their eyes. 'What was the last order this company placed? Are they happy with us?' Even 'when was the client's last birthday?'" Sen said.
This is all the information that someone could possibly need to access without having to sit at their computer or pull out a smartphone or tablet. Further, if the gadget is compatible with video conferencing software then professionals could conduct meetings anywhere without having to carry multiple devices.
Indeed, this is the main selling point of Google Glass - endless data and cutting-edge functionality can be put right in front of your eyes. Just imagine how you could streamline operations if your employees could find any information with a nod of their head or voice command.
But is it functional?
Of course, that all depends on whether Google Glass is actually functional and not a nightmare to operate. While Saturday Night Live is obviously hyperbolic, it's tough to imagine that the device will be simple to control.
Essentially, Google Glass' impact on the business world will be based on its ease of use. If the device doesn't respond properly, it won't be worth the trouble, especially when you can just use your smartphone anyway.

Long Read: in northern England, 1936, a boy of six suddenly hears that he once had a mother. All that survives of her is a handful of photos and her sheet music. Only later does he piece together her story. A memoir by Irving Wardle
From INTELLIGENT LIFE Magazine, Summer 2010
When I lost my job as a theatre critic in 1995, I had no plans for what to do next. Instead of trying something new, I reverted to an old life. I bought a piano, found a teacher and picked up where I had left off at the Royal College of Music in the 1950s. It was as though the past 40 years had never been; or I'd squandered them, like Peer Gynt, on a frivolous detour from my proper path.
Except in moments of teenage self-delusion, I've never hoped to become a good pianist. But I have to play the piano, or at any rate practise it. Otherwise I start feeling guilty and tearing the skin off my hands. I hold my mother, Nelly, responsible for this state of affairs. She was a pianist with a thriving career in Lancashire in the 1920s. I have no memory of her and have never seen as much as a letter of hers. What I do have is her sheet music; and while I cannot summon up her voice or her playing, her fingering is there in bold red ink, so I can put any masterpiece up on the rack and reconstruct the precise hand positions she devised to perform it. It's contact, of a kind.
In my pianoless years, when I would play Brahms's G minor Rhapsody on any available table top, I kept Nelly's stuff in the wardrobe I inherited from my grandparents. This is the first object I can remember, and I have hung on to it through collapsing marriages and spells in bedsits as a token on self-sufficiency. If I lose my house, I can set up my wardrobe in some open space and live in it; and when the time comes it will make a roomy coffin. It never ages and looks as indestructible as a mill-owner's mansion. As with all wardrobes, you never know what you'll find once you get inside. Behind Nelly's music, stowed in orange boxes, I stumbled on another old box, which turned out to hold my wartime gas mask—a discovery that triggered childhood memories of this castellated monster with its mirrored door opening onto cavernous darkness, whose secrets I explored long before Narnia arrived on the scene.
Closing the door behind me, I would press through my grandparents' mothballed clothes until I reached the back wall and stretched out for whatever I could find. My first discoveries were a spiked German helmet, a black pleated dog whip, and a dress sword in a rigid leather scabbard. Later on these were joined by a junior cricket bat, a child-sized Ruritanian uniform with a frogged tunic, and other things that I was given. But the first three were the best, because I had found them.
Downstairs was another relic: a Bechstein grand piano, on which my grandfather would bang out his favourite piece, "Grandpapa"—a one-word lyric to the tune of "Chopsticks". It sounded fatuous to me, but it wasn't all his fault. There was something wrong with the piano. It had a cracked sounding board. Although I tried to take no notice, there was also something wrong with the things in the wardrobe. Someone had bent the scabbard so that it flopped about absurdly when you drew the sword; the whip was a mass of knots, never to be disentangled; and you had to take care going into action in the helmet as the spike was always falling off. It didn't occur to me at the time, but much the same was true of our lives in that house. There was an unspoken sense that things had once been good and now they had gone wrong.
We lived in Stockport in a house full of old ladies, all claiming to be my aunts, whose purpose in life was to fuss over me. My stone-deaf grandfather, the lone male, was treated with unsparing derision by his wife and had long settled for the role of resident buffoon. My father also slept there, but as he worked on a newspaper in faraway Bolton I saw little of him.
Every morning, as I heard him leaving for the office, I would shout, "Have you got your glasses?"
"Yes." Slam.
And that was it until the next day. At the weekends he sometimes had a day off and would closet himself in the room with the piano, which he played loudly while my grandmother held me in an armlock by the door. His favourite piece was "Polish Dance" by Xaver Scharwenka with a key signature of six flats, which did something to excuse all the wrong notes.
Occasionally he would tell me a bedtime story. I liked his voice. I liked his old herringbone overcoat with newspapers stuffed into the pockets, and I felt at home with him in a way that I did not feel at home with anybody else. It seemed to me that I had been dumped among strangers even though they treated me like something precious salvaged from a wreck.
My grandmother sometimes talked about her pre-1914 life, before her husband's business failed, when they lived in a large house in the village of Darcy Lever where she kept a good table and the place was always full of lads. Every month she tried to recapture those days with copious Sunday lunches attended by a crowd whom we never saw at any other time. There were no more lads; most of them had been killed in the war. But there was always a roast for which my grandfather put on his cinema manager's suit and picked up a carving knife, completing each serving with a dollop of meat grease and an exclamation of lip-smacking relish which led his wife to close her eyes in nausea. Her compulsive stroking of my father ("a touch of Jack", she called it) had much the same effect on him.
At the first opportunity I would slide under the table and examine the visitors from the waist down. Regulars included the unspeaking Uncle Will Boyes, easily spotted by his webbed fingers; and an elegant set of high heels and silk stockings belonging to the otherwise unglamorous Mary Stott, future founder of the Guardian women's page. On one Sunday a new pair of legs appeared, bulging out of mustard check trousers: my godfather, Frank Singleton. And next to him, my father's hands under the table, tearing a bread roll to shreds.
It was Frank who had given me the Ruritanian outfit, and I decided to pay back the surprise. Unnoticed, I crept up to the bedroom and put it on, adding the helmet and sword as a finishing touch. On my way back, I heard Frank's voice from the hall. "At Nelly's funeral", he was saying, " there was still some confetti on your dress from the wedding."

We often get requests for Gift Cards around the holidays – so we decided to get ahead of the curve this year, and give you what you want!
What are MOO Gift Cards?
MOO Gift Cards are virtual Gift Cards that you can email either to yourself if you fancy handing over the gift personally, or to friends and family.
If you'd like to buy one for somebody, it's very easy – simply choose the amount you want to spend, and design it from the Gift Cards page. If you send it directly to a friend, you can even choose to specify a future send date – perfect for birthdays and big celebrations.
As we mentioned, the Gift Cards are virtual – we might one day introduce physical Gift Cards (you know we love to print), but just for now, Gift Cards come in email format only.
Saying that, we couldn't help ourselves from offering an innovative way of handing over your Gift Cards…
We've introduced a bit of a twist (well – it's a fold, really!)
If you buy a MOO Gift Card and choose to send the email to yourself (it makes more sense that way, rather than your friends having to fold their own present), you will in the email find links that open up PDFs of three origami style designs: paper-plane, envelope or fortune teller. Each link contains the Gift Card code, the amount, helpful hints on how your friends can redeem the code, but also fold instructions.
Hand your friend one of these and they will certainly be impressed:
Finally – what can you spend a MOO Gift Card on?
MOO Gift Cards can be spent on anything on MOO.COM – but you can't buy Gift Cards with Gift Cards. (It'd upset our finance team and their spreadsheets.)
Got any questions on our Gift Cards offering? Take a look at our terms & conditions or contact our customer service team.
We help our customers print things like Business Cards, MiniCards, and Letterheads, making it easy for them to share information about themselves or their business in the real world.
Don't miss out on special offers and discounts that we share with our subscribers!
We know that lots of you are great ambassadors for MOO and so we've been thinking of a way to say thank you. Which is why you can now actually earn money off your next order when you refer friends to MOO.Find out more
If you can do us a favour, we'll do one for you in return. Sign up as an affiliate and you could earn up to £5, $8, or €6 for every new customer you send our way.Sign up now

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- If you tried for a parking spot at the Albany Mall on Wednesday, you may have thought you'd traveled back in time to the week before Christmas. The crowd had come not only to exchange well-meaning but ill-fitting, gaudy or duplicate items, but also for the sales.
According to all the early signs, Christmas retail sales were disappointing nationwide. Despite the commercial cannons of Black Friday, Cyber Monday and more, U.S. retailers have some making up to do.
"Yes, I came for the sales," said Alex Jones, an Albany shopper. "I found some things for 75 percent off at Belk's and Penny's. It just makes sense to wait until after Christmas."
According to a report by MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, sales for the two months before Christmas increased by only 0.7 percent compared with the same time last year. That's below the healthy growth of 3 to 4 percent that has been expected, and the worst year-to-year performance since 2008, the onset of the recession.
SpendingPulse is an information service that reports on aggregate retail sales activity in the MasterCard payments network, coupled with survey-based estimates for certain other payment forms, such as cash and checks.
On Wednesday, Charlotte Easterling, of Baconton, seemed determined not to buy a thing for more than 25 percent of its original price, moving methodically through the sale bins at Bath and Body Works.
"I like to save my money and come back after Christmas," Easterling said, never breaking her stride.
Predictions by the National Retail Federation had been much rosier, forecasting a solid sales growth of 4.1 percent over 2011. Unfortunately, some unforeseen events had adverse impacts. In late October, Superstorm Sandy battered the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states, which account for 24 percent of U.S. retail sales. In addition, since the second half of November, many shoppers have worried that the nation will plunge off the "fiscal cliff" next month and possibly fall straight into a second recession.
According to a recent article by The Associated Press, sales increases were about 3 percent in the Southeast. That's a lot better than in the North, but still weaker than the 4 percent expected by many retail analysts.
At the Albany Mall on Wednesday, sales were plentiful and deep. But many of the shoppers seemed less than motivated. Toward the middle of the afternoon, a visual scan of shoppers at the food court found only around one in five with packages.
Dottie and Don Vandelaar, originally from Albany and now residents of Jacksonville, were moving casually through the mall, on the lookout for a sale that suited them. As a specialized "collector," Don Vandelaar missed out on an item he really wanted.
"Unfortunately, we missed the life-sized Santa at Kirkland's," Don Vandelaar said. "Missed it by just five minutes."
Internet sales, typically a bright spot, grew just 8.4 percent from Oct. 28 through the Saturday before Christmas, according to SpendingPulse as reported by AP. The previous 18 months had seen online sales growth of 15-17 percent.
With November and December accounting for up to 40 percent of annual revenue for many retailers, a weak holiday season means steeper discounts, which are good for shoppers, but not so good for retailers. Further, considering consumer spending accounts for some 70 percent of overall economic activity, the eight-week period can be critical, not just for retailers, but for manufacturers, wholesalers and companies at every point along the supply chain, AP reported.

Got Water? Kids Need Just as Much as Adults, Experts Say
Their bodies may be smaller, but that doesn't mean they can skimp on drinking water. In fact, it's more important than ever, experts say, to make sure children are properly hydrated.
"The standard recommendations are for children to get six to eight glasses of water per day," says Dr. Melina Jampolis, CNNHealth's Diet and Fitness expert. "Mild dehydration can affect learning as well as mental and physical performance."
Supporting Jampolis' contention is a recent Tufts University study that found that children who are even mildly thirsty can become cranky. For older, school-age children, dehydration--even at low levels--can mean impaired cognitive function, says lead researcher Kristen D'Anci, PhD.
In reality, however, many parents can commiserate on the difficulty of getting kids to drink any water, never mind enough.
To that point, the following tips may give concerned parents ideas on how to help kids guzzle more of what's good for them.
>>Make water easily accessible
Place a pitcher in the refrigerator, have water bottles out, waiting, and ready to be filled, or have bottled water handy. That way, there'll be no excuses.
>>Offer water with mildly alkaline properties
For example, try Alkame Water. Ionized water has smaller molecule clusters that are able to permeate a body's cells faster, while hydrating more fully and effectively. In turn, this allows little bodies to absorb water and minerals better and flush out toxins. Another benefit: Alkame is the only water patented for high levels of stabilized dissolved oxygen.
>>Take it to go
Kids model what they see, so whenever you and your wee ones are on the go, make sure you take water for yourself and your child. If you're taking sips of water throughout the day, chances are, they will too. And don't stop at car rides--take water on family picnics, on walks around the neighborhood, to the park, and to other outings.
>>Serve water-rich foods
Many good-for-you foods, such as soup, fruit, and milk, contain 80 to 90 percent water. Watermelon, for instance, is usually a kid-friendly favorite and a great water-logged fruit.

20-10-2010 22:39 - edited 20-10-2010 23:02
Im a bit confused, when i first moved to Virgin my xbox360 was behaving completely normally. However today i joined a game of Modern Warfare 2 and found that with my headset connected and not muted i couldnt chat in game , lobby or in party.
The chat headset was tested and i could record a message (voice) and send it to a friend on xbox live who was in the party that i couldnt chat to. So no problem with the headset hardware or controller there.
Xbox 360 is cat cabled to the router.
I tried the following.
- assigned a fixed IP to my 360
- set port forwarding for the recommended ports by microsoft for xboxlive
- checked my NAT and Upnp and confirmed that NAT = open and Upnp was enabled
- verified via the 360 network test that my NAT wasnt restricted.
- rebooted cable modem and the netgear wgr614v9 wireless g-router
Problem remained.
so i tried the following.
- put the 360 outside of the DMZ (strangely this caused the NAT to become moderate??)
- changed mtu to 1394
Problem remained.
Gave up, switched on PS3, started up a game that used the chat function and this worked fine.
Does Virgin have some restrictions on Voip for the Xbox live service that i am not aware of?
Does the wgr614v9 wireless g-router not work with xbox live service on Virgin broadband.
I found one similar topic of this on the support forums but no solutions. if anyone found out how to resolve this i would like to hear how it was resolved.
on 18-12-2010 20:41
I am having the exact same problem,everything was fine up till few days ago then I started cutting up on Live to the point now,my friends cant hear me at all yet I can hear them. Question is, is it going to be a case of having to leave Virgin because of this problem or will it be fixed by them (I'm sceptical!. Its so annoying as it totally ruins online play, anybody got any ideas??
on 27-12-2010 16:48
I have a problem close to the one you both mention. In black ops games everyone else can hear me, but 2 of my friends can only hear me cutting in and out. Strangly it does not cut up sometime, and I can always hear them no problem. We also have an issue with the xbl party we can't connect to one, but I can connect to a friend of theirs, and their friend can join my party invite. Once that is done my friends can join. But once that firend of their leaves (who is also in my friend list) they get dissconnected from the party.
And both nat's are open (black ops says so, and xbl test has green all the way through)
on 27-12-2010 19:36
i'm still no closer to solving this problem but literally tried everything now,wired and wireless,different xbox's,different headsets and controllers........it has to be something Virgin has changed, some sort of update which has affected this as its not an Xbox problem.Everything was fine then one day it just started to go and now it cuts out constantly yet my friend who live nearby who are also on Virgin can talk and I can hear them???? i am completely baffled and still trying to get an answer from Virgin...have even submitted a complaints form and had no response......

There's a tepid optimism brewing in this country. The latest jobs report showed an economy in recovery–a sluggish recovery but still a recovery–and now new numbers from the Pew Research Center suggest even those hardest hit are finding bright spots.
The study focused on the impact of the recession on young adults and found that the number of young adults ages 18-24 currently employed is at its lowest since the government began collecting data in 1948 and large majorities of the public say it is harder for young adults to reach many of the basic financial goals their parents may have taken for granted.
Yet despite this glum news 88% of young adults say they either have or earn enough money now or expect they will in the future?
The findings mark similar trends of optimism in other populations hard hit by the recession.
Adults ages 35 and older are much less optimistic with 28% saying they don't anticipate making enough money in the future.
One explanation in the increased pessimism in adults could be the cost of raising children. Daycare costs make saving for college impossible and the price of college tuition makes attending more and more difficult. With nearly one-third of this population feeling the pinch, parenthood is a reasonable link.

I suggest we give credit to all whom have achieved high spirits during this "down" time amongst many whom have not. There is a future for this logic. It is those whom choose to drag others down with them that we wish to achieve and acquire to our positive way of thinking. Happily, I say, there is more positive than negative in the universe. Our future is already won. It is a done deal. NOW THAT IS POSITIVE. Should one prove otherwise, I will think eternally on this until I can prove he/she is wrong.
To find leadership ability in our youth is truly inspirational for our future holdings.
For your information Sue many Older baby boomers are having to move in with their kids too.
Most young people are out there trying to make things happen. Some groups are setting up barter systems .some are out there hawking whatever talent they have. Very few are just sitting home living off of mom and dad like you are implying. And that last smugly self important statement you made is beyond the pale.
yeah I'd be optimistic too if I had baby boomer parent who worked their asses off to provide for their now spoiled brat kids who refuse to do anything!
F'you young ones. one day mom & dad will not be ther to take care of your ass.
Welcome to the real world. you will be my bitch
Well sure, Big Biz loves young cheap help. That's all they'll hire. As soon as this batch grows up Big Biz with dump them like a hot potato and hire more young ones. It's the new Newt Gingrich morals. Use em up, dump em and get another one. These kids are gonna get screwed just like the rest of us, they just don't know it.
Interesting article - thanks for posting.
@ cecily w
The more people that have to share a resource, the less each person gets. Thanks for recognition of the overpopulation disaster.
The above quote is especially true in Canada which has a commodities economy. In other words the economy relies on selling wood, minerals and other pieces of the country.{ fish used to be included }, so the ongoing welcoming of thousands of new Canadians is particularly insane.
@ Bruce R.. As I suspected. They are playing make-believe and they think its reality.
That'll change.
And I believe in the Easter Bunny.
Most of the students I talk to are optimistic that things will turn around after Obama leaves next year

Biology: The psocids are commonly called book lice, a misnomer since they are not even closely related to lice. Relatives are called plant or bark lice and they infest foliage of trees and shrubs. A large species of structural importance is called the "deathwatch", due to its habit of tapping its abdomen on the surface and causing an audible clicking sound. The primary food of booklice appears to be molds and fungi, and their presence in structures or in food will be caused by excessive moisture and the resulting growth of molds. For this reason they also may be found in books or other materials stored in damp conditions. They are prolific breeders, with females averaging 60 eggs in warm weather, and the interval from egg to adult less than one month. Identification: The common species in structures are tiny, very light tan insects. They are wingless but very active crawlers. With magnification it is easy to see their very long, thin antennae, large round head, and round to oval abdomen. Their eyes are large and visible. Characteristics Important in Control: The presence of psocids indoors usually indicates excessively moist conditions exist, and the control of this moisture will control the insect problem. Old foods may be infested, with sufficient but possibly invisible fungi growing on it to attract the psocids. Univar www.mcdonaldpestcontrol.com

There is some evidence that they are. Nate Cohn takes a closer look at the voters Obama is targeting:
In the six national polls, 5 percent of college educated whites were undecided compared to 9 percent of whites without a college degree. Romney's road to victory starts with consolidating disaffected voters who do not approve of the President's performance. Unsurprisingly then, the Obama campaign's initial wave of advertising appears well-suited to disrupting those efforts.
Depicting Romney as a plutocratic corporate raider seems likely to resonate with working class voters, especially since many traditionally have voted for Democratic presidential candidates. On the other hand, most of these voters harbor deep reservations about Obama's performance and probably voted for Republicans in the 2010 midterms. Romney's main goal in the coming months will be to convince them to join his cause.

PIC: Britney Spears Rejects Lady Gaga Makeout at VMA
She's made out with Madonna -- but no Gaga for Britney Spears!
At Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards in L.A., Britney Spears accepted a Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award from another pop queen: Lady Gaga, in full drag as Jo Calderone, her male alter-ego.
PHOTOS: What all the stars wore at the VMAs
And though Spears, 29, and Gaga, 25, shared an initial chaste smooch, the "I Wanna Go" singer awkwardly (but cheerfully) avoided Gaga's advances for a more intense makeout session. (Spears and Madonna, now 52, famously swapped spit during an unforgettable 2003 VMAs performance.)
PHOTOS: Brit's best and worst VMA looks of all time
"It was interesting, her character," Spears told MTV News backstage. "We got onstage and we felt it out."
Gaga (as Calderone) accepted the rejection with poise. "I don't want Gaga to get pissed."
Backstage, Gaga (still in character) effused about Spears. "She is f***ing hot. She is f***ing Britney Spears. Didn't you j*** off to Britney when you were a kid?

Enacts the "hospital closure planning act"; provides that whenever a general hospital closes, the commissioner of health shall within thirty days of being notified of such closure, hold a public hearing at a location within the geographic area served by such general hospital to solicit testimony concerning the extent to which such closure will result in the reduction or elimination of health care services in the affected community, and options and proposals for replacing or enhancing such health care services through other means in order to meet the needs of residents in the affected community; makes related provisions.

TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to enacting the "hospital closure planning act"
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: To allow for community input on the impact of a hospital's closing on access to health care in the surrounding community and require the department of health to identify the measures which the department and other parties have taken or will take to ameliorate such impact.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: The public health law is amended by adding a new section, 2801-g, which would require a public forum on the consequences of a hospital's closing and a response from the state health commissioner on measures to mitigate the negative effects of the planned closing.
JUSTIFICATION: New York's hospitals are a vital part of the state's health care infrastructure. The loss of these institutions can have serious public health consequences for the surrounding community, including but not limited to recipients of medical assistance for needy persons, the uninsured, and underserved populations. The current economic climate increases the chances that hospitals that provide important services may be forced to close for financial reasons. Therefore, it is critical that procedures be in place to establish contingency plans that will minimize the impact of such closings on the affected community.
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: None.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

manufacturing organizations spend more than 35% of their IT budgets integrating
disparate systems such as CRM, ERP, and Supply Chain applications. Yet, the
level of integration most organizations achieve is a simple point-to-point data
exchange which may allow the sharing of customer information between front and
back office applications, or batch transfer of supply chain planning information
with an ERP System.
is painting a vision of true business to business collaboration over the Internet.
In this vision business partners are able to seamlessly share information and
collaborate on business processes to achieve new levels of responsiveness to
customers and business partners.
companies to compete effectively in the emerging business to business Internet
economy, integration across the various business domains is an absolute requirement,"
said Mary Coleman, Chairman and CEO, Baan Company. "As consumer expectations
of service and support have changed dramatically with the advent of Internet
sales - today customers expect 7 x 24 service, next day delivery and more competitive
pricing - Baan believes that the changes brought about by the Internet on B-2-B
commerce will be even more dramatic. To compete, manufacturing businesses will
need to learn to partner with suppliers and customers to deliver custom configured
solutions, while maintaining minimal inventory in reduced timeframes."
OpenWorld is an integration framework built on four tiered levels of exchange:
Level: At this first level, applications share or exchange common elements
such as customer information, part numbers, and inventory levels. This level
of integration includes data migration, replication, and data connectivity.
Level: At this second level, applications exchange data in the form of objects
at the sub-process level. This includes connectivity between applications and
certified integration interfaces for 3rd party applications.
Process Level: At this third level, organizations are able to integrate
business processes between applications using standards like XML and based on
IBM MQ Series or MSMQ messaging queues. At this level, businesses are able to
use common process modeling and workflow tools, common user interfaces and business
intelligence systems to seamlessly solve multi-functional business problems
like Available to Promise, order fulfillment, demand management, etc.
Community Level: This top-level of exchange enables true business process
collaboration within an enterprise, and across the heterogeneous enterprises
of business partners and customers. Adaptable business logic, real-time alerts,
and a publish and subscribe communications model will allow organizations to
work together, using XML standards-based Internet messaging to react quickly
to customer demands.
first three tiers of the Baan OpenWorld Integration Framework are included in
the Baan Enterprise Solutions suite. Beta customers for new products supporting
the Business Community level are planned for the first half of 2000.
Mary Coleman observes, "Businesses that don't learn to E-Collaborate will lose
a competitive edge." Baan's move into providing E-commerce solutions, like those
of SAP and PeopleSoft, represents a growing trend for ERP providers. As the
technology evolves and the giants in this otherwise moribund industry move into
price and feature competition with each other, this segment of e-commerce will
be worth watching.
you are a manufacturing organization that already has, or is considering Baan's
solution, this announcement represents value. Business-to-business E-commerce
is in the future for most corporations, and should Baan's framework successfully
evolve it will represent an attractive alternative. However, it is important
to note that the XML business to business environment remains to be defined.
Several consortia and standards organizations are pursuing XML (at the transaction
level) in an attempt to define a common methodology (See TEC News Analysis articles:
One Meets GM: Web Now Has A Really Big Parts Department" November 10th,
1999 and "Ariba
Successes Highlights Standards Wars" August 13th, 1999).
SAP's recent announcements detail an open architecture designed to connect thousands
of their customers within SAP's Market place. Baan will need to reciprocate
with additional information in order to stay competitive. Vendors working to
establish themselves in the business marketplace arena (eg: Commerce One, Concur,
Ariba) have already endorsed open XML based standards. Baan will need to maintain
an adaptable standard, publish more data on integration plans, detail possible
partners and describe rich feature sets if they hope to compete with SAP and

Canadian Islam Is Healthier
by Daniel Pipes
American and British Islam are dominated by extremists, but Canadian Islam is "different, in a promising and heartening way." So argues Stephen Schwartz of the Center for Islamic Pluralism in "Canada is Different, Even in Its Muslims." That's because "Canadian Muslims are engaged in a debate about their future, which offers an immense contrast" with the situations in the United States and United Kingdom.
The diversity and pluralism one finds in Canada's English-speaking provinces results from two main factors, he writes: "immigration by heterodox Shia Muslims from east Africa, including groups known as Khojas and Bohras, who despise extremism and adjust easily to Canadian life"; and Canada's energy independence, which means it has "no incentive to truckle to Saudi Arabia."
In French-speaking Québec, another factor predominates. Muslims there must contend with
Schwartz sees here a lesson that other small cultures and countries (he mentions the Netherlands and Denmark by name) can learn from. In Québéc,
Comment: I agree that Canadian Islam is healthier than its counterparts elsewhere in the West. Toronto is the city with the per-capita highest number of free-thinking Muslims, the country has a sizeable number of pro-Israel Muslims, Muslims led the successful effort to combat application of the Shari'a in Ontario, an Islamist informed on the Toronto 17, and the Hérouxville code of conduct breaks new ground. It is good to have this first cut at an explanation why that is so. (February 14, 2007)
May 29, 2007 update: Add this to the list: Muslims shouted down a visiting emissary from the Islamic Republic of Iran at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario. at a public meeting, "Two Peoples, Two Faiths in Dialogue," part of a on-going nine-year-long "peace-building" project between the Mennonite Central Committee and the Imam Khomeini Education and Research Institute in Qom.

•The Eagles' star running back Robert Murtha graduated last year and is now at Orange Coast College. But Estancia still has a Murtha on the sidelines every week.
It is Robert's mom, Christine, who is the Estancia football trainer this year.
Bargas said the Eagles' former trainer, Kelsey Blackard, went off to college.
"We were scrambling to get a trainer, and [Murtha] is qualified, and she loves football," Bargas said. "She stepped up at the last minute, and she's awesome. She doesn't 'mother hen' the kids; she's very professional. She wants to be a part of the program. She does everything in a loving way, but not too motherly. She actually will send kids back on the practice field, which I appreciate. If a kid breaks a cuticle or something, it's 'Get back out there.'
"She's awesome. It's nice to have the Murthas still stay with the Estancia football family."
•Estancia High might be the underdog going into Friday night's Orange Coast League opener, the Battle for the Bell game at Jim Scott Stadium.
Coach Mike Bargas has led his team to victory in the contest against Costa Mesa for three years in a row. He said he sees his team as being able to contend in the Orange Coast League, despite being picked to finish fourth in the six-team league before the season began.
Estancia (2-3) returned just one combined starter this year on both sides of the ball. But sophomore quarterback Connor Brown made some impressive throws in Friday's 19-14 nonleague victory over Sonora, including a 53-yard touchdown pass to junior Dalton O'Daly in the first quarter. Brown threaded the needle, getting the ball to O'Daly just before the defensive back could get there.
Brown passed for a season-high 156 yards and the touchdown.
"We dropped a couple of balls, but we showed we can throw the ball and that's what we have to do," Bargas said. "We have to be balanced. Unfortunately, when you have a sophomore you make bad mistakes, but he made a lot of good [decisions] tonight."
•Bargas said the Bell game is "not the end-all game," but obviously his team would like to open league with a win against a rival.
"That's OK," Bargas said when told some observers have picked Costa Mesa to win the league. "I think you've got to respect Laguna Beach as the reigning league champion, and I think Godinez has a very good football team. Coach [Chris] Cox at Calvary has gotten them going, and I know Saddleback is struggling ... but anybody can beat anybody."
— Matt Szabo
•Newport Harbor High goes into Sunset League play without much momentum.
The Sailors' hopes to enter league with two straight wins were dashed last week, as they lost to Manhattan Mira Costa, 33-21, at Davidson Field.
