Wonder Walls Festival out to showcase graffiti art
Wollongong designer and artist Simon Grant says it can be a hard sell trying to convince someone to allow you to paint an enormous graffiti artwork on their business' wall.

He runs the up-coming three-day Wonder Walls Festival in Wollongong - a growing event now in its second year that sees major professional graffiti art created throughout the CBD.
"I can see why they're apprehensive because you have a random guy lobbing up in the street asking if he can paint this thing on the side of your building," he says.
"The property owners are amazing though - they don't see any design briefs or proofs, they just trust us to turn up and make their wall look beautiful."
And if you were a business that turned down his invitation last year, you'll probably be kicking yourself now.
Last year's major work - an enormous and beautifully created girl's face painted on a wall on Keira Street by artist Rone - has been unanimously acclaimed.
"The thing last year was nobody knew what the girl's face was a part of, but this year people are more aware of the event.
"It's [the girl's face] what got people last year - the Wollongong public didn't know it was coming and it just popped up."
And this year, he's wanting to go bigger, and more of it.
While he can't reveal what will be painted, the organisers have come to an agreement with the Wollongong Central GPT group and Wollongong Council for renowned graffiti artist (and ex-local turned Glaswegian) Smug to work on a major project.
"A lot of people are surprised with how this stuff [artwork] starts and how it's planned, so it's a good chance for people to check it out and if they are fans of the artist, they can say g'day and see what goes into the work," Simon says.
The festival is a collaboration between him and Sydney-based group The Hours, and will feature a three day program starting with the opening in Globe Lane in Wollongong's CBD this Friday 8th, and carrying through until Sunday 10th.
"Last year was to get some runs on the board and it started modestly - it was us finding our feet and making sure the format could work, but it was always our idea to build it."
He says the graffiti art scene in Wollongong has been strong for years.
"There are guys who were painting in Wollongong in the early 90s, so there's always been a scene, but it's a way to not necessarily formalise it, but shine a light on it.
"There are a tonne of talented artists down here."
The festival also serves to help promote quality street art and perhaps open people's minds to the art form.
While 'tagging' vandalism continues to be a problem in all cities, Simon says the festival helps the public separate the thoughtless graffiti from the technical art.
"There's an emphasis on creativity with everything we do, and you'll always get haters, but we do our best to keep graffiti positive.
"I'm always thinking, and I've always got my eye on walls - we're always looking for new spots and bigger spots."

Readers who have followed me on www.lawbizblog.com know of my ongoing billing problems with Verizon. The details aren't important, but I was struck by two facts about them as they relate to legal practice...
*Verizon outsources their collection issues rather than first seeking to resolve any questions internally. This may work for a communications oligopoly. But, for lawyers, unresolved billing issues could result in a malpractice action. It's better to address the billing issue, resolve it and retain the goodwill of the client, not to mention the client's future business.

The Real McCoy Homestead Uncovered in New National Geographic Series DIGGERS
The home of Randall McCoy , the patriarch of the famed McCoy family, and the site of the deadly 1888 New Year's Day showdown between the Hatfields and the McCoys, and 125-year-old artifacts from that feud have been uncovered in rural Kentucky. The discovery was made by the Diggers team shooting an episode of the National Geographic Channel series and confirmed by Kim McBride , co-director of the Kentucky Archaeological Survey (jointly administered by the University of Kentucky Department of Anthropology and the Kentucky Heritage Council).
This site, located on private property in rural Hardy, Ky., had long been speculated to be the McCoy's land and the site of the final family feud. Remains of the cabin where the family lived and artifacts from the site where the most famous feud in American history went down, however, had never been uncovered ... until now!
The new National Geographic Channel series DIGGERS premieres Tuesday, January 1, 2013, with back-to-back episodes at 10 and 10:30 PM ET/PT. The episode detailing the McCoy homestead discovery airs on Tuesday, January 29, 2013, at 10 PM.
Diggers hosts, amateur scientists, vocational metal detector enthusiasts and history buffs George "KG" Wyant and Tim "Ringy" Saylor, first discovered what they thought were clear signs that finally proved the McCoy home was on the property and that this was the site of the final Hatfield-McCoy standoff, which helped to end at least a decade of family fighting. Conferring with the private landowners and working with Diggers staff archaeologist Kate Culpepper and local historian Bill Richardson , the team pinpointed the location of the home and discovered charred wooden board remains, as well as specific items from the home, including possible parts from a stove, nails and a plow blade fragment.
After they found the burned wood and artifacts, Wyant and Saylor followed protocol agreed on with the archaeology community at the start of the series production and called in McBride to verify the find. The team screened shovel test units and recorded the site with the Kentucky Office of State Archaeology, to ensure that the site was protected and the find was legitimate.
"This is an incredible discovery behind America's greatest family feud," said McBride. "After spending two days excavating at the site, we were pleased to find a number of original artifacts from the actual structure, such as window glass and both wrought and machine-cut nails, and we were able to trace the lineage of the property right back to Randall McCoy and his wife Sarah McCoy. As archaeologists, we are very excited to find real evidence to back theories that have abounded for decades."
Added Saylor, "This is the coolest discovery an amateur metal detector like me and KG could ask for, with amazing significance for our country's history. The McCoy homestead could turn up more details about that fateful night in 1888, and provide evidence of how the family lived and died. I feel like we hit the jackpot!"
Property owners Bob and Rita Scott and Richard and Wanda Scott Goodman said, "It is tremendously gratifying to find these items connected to the feud. We expect visitors from all over the world to come and see these important artifacts."
West Virginia University Extension Professor Bill Richardson said, "This is amazing. These appear to be actual bullets fired at the Hatfields by the McCoys in defense of their home. Nothing like this has ever been found before."
In the Diggers series, Saylor and Wyant scour the country for lost pieces of American history - from Civil War buckles to family heirloom rings and silver coins. Where there is an empty yard, field or beach approved for metal detecting, the duo see a treasure trove, and will go the distance to uncover "the juice," as they call it, working in close collaboration with a local archaeologist or historian at every site. It's not just the raw value of the object that gets them excited; it's the thrill of the hunt and the possibility that the next artifact they dig up could yield the discovery of a lifetime, similar to the lucky Brit who found the Saxon hoard. In this case, it was the real McCoy!
Diggers is produced for National Geographic Channel by Half YaRD Productions; Abby Greensfelder and Sean Gallagher are executive producers. For National Geographic Channel, executive producer and vice president of production and development is Charlie Parsons , executive in charge of production is Michael Cascio and president is Howard T. Owens .

If you call commit or rollback without having a
transaction started, the next transaction is not
started correctly and the connection stays is
autocommit mode.
The problem is that fInTransaction gets a negative
value in commit/rollback and there are tests for
fInTransaction > 0, the next call to beginTransaction
increments the value but it is still negative or 0. A
suggestion is that fInTransaction should not be allowed
to be a negative value and should be checked for this
before being decremented.

reference to the everything list where people could be interested).
Note that the idea that MWI restore locality is as old as Everett. In
particular Everett makes that point clear in his big paper on the
Universal Wave Function, when he looks at the EPR phenomenon from the
multiverse point of view.
But with Tipler's paper it is Bell's work itself which is under
scrutiny with some clarity and rigor. That paper gives me the feeling
that MWI restore also completely the classical use of counterfactual
propositions. BTW it would be nice to see explicitely what happens with
Kochen and Specker theorem in the MWI. In my opinion this shows that the
MWI can be seen as a realist, local and determinist hidden variable
interpretation of QM, where the hidden variables correspond to the
universe where we momentarily belongs. It is so unfortunate that Everett
meet Bohr and not Einstein :-( ... (I mean in our branch!).

Thanks for the elaboration - I think I have a clearer idea now of what Mermin is saying.
It seems that his view of the quantum state is similar to Dennett's on consciousness, or Dennett's example of the view, popular in the past, that there was some special quality about life that was reified as a "life force" or elan vital.
Nowadays we view life as an emergent property of certain types of biological systems, taking away any role for a "life force".
So I can respect Mermin's position in that I can understand how you might consider life force to be "not even a property of any reality outside our minds" - and by analogy that the same could apply to the quantum state.
I can also see how unnecessary reification can result in a lot of wasted philosophising and "make life harder than it needs to be".
But it seems a rather extreme view, particularly as the human mind seems to need these interpretations to help us make sense of what is going on. A bad habit possibly, but one we are likely stuck with.
And I still don't see it as a criticism of the MWI. However we choose to interpret it, many worlds is still what quantum book-keeping predicts.

WASHINGTON — With the clock ticking ever louder, Obama administration officials and congressional Republicans clashed anew Sunday over extending the nation's debt limit, with the White House threatening a veto if the government's borrowing authority is not extended through the next elections.
Even so, with an eye toward nervous financial markets, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the two sides seem to be making progress in their long-running debt battle and predicted they will avert a historic federal default.
"It's unthinkable that this country will not meet its obligations on time. It's just unthinkable. We never do that. It's not going to happen," Geithner said.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, flatly rejected President Barack Obama's insistence on a package that would extend the government's authority to borrow money beyond the November 2012 presidential and congressional elections. Democratic congressional leaders have also said the extension must last through next year.
"I know the president's worried about the next elections," Boehner said. "But my God, shouldn't we be worried about the country?"
The remarks came as congressional leaders and aides were beginning another day of meetings at the Capitol as they and the White House strain to craft a deal to avert a debt ceiling crisis by Aug. 2 — a week from Tuesday. That is the day the government runs out of cash to pay its bills — which administration officials and others say could cause catastrophic damage on not just the government's credit rating but the entire economy.
Congressional and Obama administration officials are hoping to announce a framework for an agreement by 4 p.m. EDT Sunday, and House Republicans planned a members-only conference call for shortly after that. That is before the Asian financial markets open, and lawmakers want to avoid producing bad news that could push those markets down and worry American investors as well.
After a long day of meetings Saturday, lawmakers were looking at a plan that would boost the debt limit immediately by roughly $1 trillion — about enough to last through this year — while locking in slightly more spending cuts. Another package combining trillions more in savings and another extension of the debt limit would be considered later.
"There is going to be a two-stage process," Boehner said. "It's not physically possible to do all of this in one step."
Boehner said he hoped to announce a plan on Sunday, but added that the details were still being worked out. He said he could not predict whether it would be supported by congressional Democrats.
Administration officials said a short-term extension of borrowing authority would be harmful.
Asked if Obama would veto a plan that did not extend the government's borrowing authority into 2013, White House chief of staff William Daley said, "Yes. The president believes that we must get this uncertainty in order, to help the American economy and help the American people."
Geithner also said the administration opposes that proposal.
"We can't adopt an approach that leaves the threat of default hanging over the country for another six months," he said on ABC's "This Week." ''That would be deeply irresponsible to do, and we do not think that's an acceptable burden to put on the American economy."
On CNN's "State of the Union," Geithner used a different timeframe, saying it was crucial to "remove this threat of default from the country through the next 18 months."
"You want to take this out of politics, you don't want politics messing around with America's credit," he said.

But again, it's inconsistent to argue both that they're so decentralized and that they could somehow retain a continuous identity and influence for generations as their membership changes. If they're that decentralized, then what was left after the big "weeding out" would just be a few malcontents here and there, nothing big enough, organized enough, or influential enough to have any major influence on events. I can marginally buy Section 31 managing to infiltrate its way into positions of influence once, particularly during the Dominion War when Federation and Starfleet officials were desperate and willing to compromise their principles for expediency. But it must've taken time to build up such a network in secret. If their role as an active manipulator of the government and the military were exposed, if their agents in those organizations were weeded out, then those organizations and the public would be on the alert against them from then on, and it would be hard for the few lingering remnants to gain any influence. So even if there were still a few scattered S31 loyalists here and there, the organization would still be effectively gone as a relevant force in the Federation. And those few lingering fragments would probably just die out or change focus eventually.
Although admittedly such a radically decentralized conspiracy could "mutate" easily. The Triads founded to oppose one Chinese dynasty or another became organized crime networks, for instance. There may be descendants of Section 31, somewhere, with very different aims.
There is no way that the rank-and-file populace of the Federation would approve of Section 31, so they wouldn't give them succor or help them elude the authorities. It's simply not a viable analogy.
In he examples I mentioned earlier, the conspiracies survived only because they had broad support. In the case of the Organisation de l'Armée Sécrète, the OAS people were fighting to retain an Algeria that was an integral territory of France and home to more than a million French citizens, part of a broader effort to keep France relevant as a major power. In the case of the Turkish deep state, the belief that Ataturk's secularization and republican reforms saved Turkey from annihilation post-WW1--not indefensible, actually; separate issue--inspired generations of people working for the Turkish state to believe that whatever it took to keep the republic as it was was a justified act.

Each year, some 50 million Americans go on diets for weight loss. That means about 30 billion dollars is being spent each year on diet foods, diet sodas, diet books, diet videos, diet cassettes, fitness clubs, and related diet services.

One of the most important proven concepts that is often overlooked in the efforts to lose weight is the fact that inorder to lose weight, the human body should have less energy in than energy out.
Recent studies from Harvard School of Public Health indicate that the risks of diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease, are strongly related to the glycemic index of the overall diet.
Hunger is a feeling that can be brought on by one of several mechanisms. One such mechanism for initiating hunger is a low level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. When the blood glucose level falls below normal, hunger is a response.

Report: April disappointing for retailers
April may not be the cruelest month to most of us - after all, the cold finally broke across the Upper Midwest and spring was definitely arriving in most areas - but don't tell retailers that. According to new data out this week, April didn't bring record numbers of shoppers into stores...not even to fill those Easter baskets.
Final numbers aren't in quite yet, but look for April to be rather muddy for most retailers. That is the takeaway from new Euclid data which shows a drop in traffic to stores and in spending for the fourth month of 2014. According to their estimates, overall spending may be down about 2% (YoY).
"Looking at Easter more closely, the week preceding the holiday Sunday showed the same mixed performance as the month as a whole. Traffic was down nearly nine percent against the comparable period last year. However, engagement was significantly better than last year, with average visit duration up ten percent. Shoppers were well engaged by the seasonal merchandise, but this was likely not enough to compensate for fewer numbers," writes the company.
Some interesting takeaways from the report include:
• Shopper traffic dropped 10% YoY
• Storefront conversion increased 1% YoY
• Time spent in-store increased 7% YoY
• Repeat visits dropped 2% YoY
The best shopping day of the month was Sunday, April 6, with high customer engagement; the worst shopping day by volume was Friday, April 25.
Meanwhile, new data out from comScore indicates online shoppers weren't looking at retail outlets, either. Their most recent numbers, from March, indicate more consumers are heading to pharmacy/health sites, likely to get a jump on spring allergy season. The top 10 gaining sites for March were Health/Pharmacy sites (29% traffic increase) and Travel/Rental Cars (26% increase).

The food is delicious, the culture is curious and modern, yet ancient temples are always nearby. Anyway I'm being told to get going out of this cafe and to keep exploring.
Utsukushigahara Highland
I travelled to Matsumoto with an old friend from university. On the first day of the trip, we visited Matsumoto Castle and walked around the streets of Matsumoto, tasting some local foods including basashi, sanzokuyaki and sansei, local sake. On the next day, we drove along Venus Line, stopping at Utsukushigahara Highland and Mt Kirigamine.

Even though we only stayed for one night the room was very nice. The inn is close to Letchworth state park. The owner was very nice and helpful on places to eat. There was chairs outside the room to sit .

The location is very attractive, convenient to Letchworth State Park (recently voted the #1 state park in the country), clean and well maintained. This is our "go to" place when we visit Western New York.
My husband and I stayed here in early November/14 as we hiked through Letchworth State Park.

Although it might seem like good form for someone who has just landed a sweet new gig to kowtow a smidgen to their predecessor, soon-to-be 'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert doesn't need to force such emotions when it comes to current host David Letterman, because, man, does he really love the comedian and his show.

NYX Merengue, Strawberry Parfait, Sugar Cookie Butter Glosses
NYX Butter Gloss ($5.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is supposed to have sheer to medium color coverage, a non-sticky texture, and be a hydrating formula. They feel really creamy going on, and they're comfortable to wear with a lightly tacky texture that doesn't feel heavy. The wear is slightly below average (three hours), but for something with as much creaminess, it is decent. Something I kept experiencing was just uneven coverage, though, where the color tended to settle into lip lines and/or look splotchy applied. I think they work better as a layering product (over lipstick or the like), rather than alone. The formula has a sweet, vanilla scent and was lightly hydrating.Read Full Review

NYX Butter Gloss ($5.00 for 0.27 fl. oz.) is described as a "sheer to medium coverage" gloss that can be worn alone or over lipstick and "is never sticky." The formula is also supposed to "provide nourishment." They have a creamy, light-to-medium-weight consistency that glides on, feels comfortable, and is lightly tacky (they gradually get a little tackier as they wear on as well). The formula has a sweet, vanilla scent. As described, coverage varies from semi-sheer to semi-opaque. They wear two to three hours on me, on average, and they were slightly hydrating.Read Full Review

Not sure when/if I'll have a chance to review all of them, but I know I'll have a few reviews, at least. I can, however, promise you photos and swatches.

It's time to change who sits on Belknap Board of Commissioners
To The Daily Sun,
It was a pleasure to serve Alton and Gilmanton as a state representative for the past two years.
As a member of the Belknap County Delegation, it was amazing to see the current County Commissioners flout the law on many occasions and to fail to properly manage the county. It was this that prompted me to contest for the District 2 commissioner's seat for the towns of Barnstead, Gilmanton, Belmont and Tilton.
When one-tenth of the county budget is devoted to health care premiums, does it make sense for us not to put the contract out for competitive bidding? When commissioners admit that our population growth is stagnant, that our median age is increasing and that county income is down, does it make sense to propose a new jail at a cost of $40 million, and to hire 20 new correctional officers to staff it?
The existing jail does have issues, issues which were worsened by years of neglect. But there are proven ways for the county to meet its obligations at a cost about one-fourth of that which the commissioners have recommended.
In preparation for a new jail plan, a plan which will cost the county about $5 million a year each and every year, the requisite reports to the state attorney general about the condition of our jail were never submitted.
It is time to change who sits on the board of the Belknap Commission.
Please vote on Sept. 9.

Brian Gallagher will vote in best interests of San'ton & Tilton
To The Daily Sun,
I recommend, without reservation, that Sanbornton and Tilton citizens vote Brian Gallagher for state representative. I have known Brian since the 1980s, when our children became friends, and we later served together on Sanbornton Budget Committee. His work and community experiences more than qualify him as the state representative for Sanbornton and Tilton. His resume reads like a job description for state representative.
1. He is educated with a BA in political science, an MBA in management, and an AOS in accounting.
2. He is experienced with 12 years in the NH State Budget Office, eight years in New Hampshire Supreme Court Administrative Office, and six years as business administrator for several local school districts.
3. Involvement at Town level, in elected positions: he served on Town Budget Committee, Library Trustee, and Trustee of The Trust Funds. He currently represents Sanbornton on the Winnisquam Regional School District Budget Committee.
4. As a community volunteer he served as a soccer coach through the Sanbornton Rec Commission. He currently serves as an active volunteer in several positions at his church.
In these times when government officials tend to overspend budgets, choose which laws to enforce, overstep or bypass the Constitution and thereby threaten not only our form of government, but threaten our constitutional rights, we need to start the fix at the local level. We need Brian Gallagher to represent Sanbornton and Tilton in Concord. He will vote in the best interest of our towns. He has the experience and knowledge in state and municipal levels of governance, laws, budgets, and planning.
Vote Brian Gallagher for state representative on Sept. 9.

Having no plan is really the only plan at Obama's White House
To The Daily Sun,
The media is all abuzz regarding the statements made by Great Britain Prime Minister David Cameron.
Mr. Cameron stood before his countrymen and stated, "We will use all our resources to root out Islamic extremists." He also indicated that military force may be used. He offered up a comprehensive plan to combat terrorism. His action was not only a proactive strategy, it was a definitive notification to the terror group ISIS that the UK stands ready, willing and able to take the initiative in confronting the growing threat to the civilized world.
The media was quick to point out that Mr. Obama has no strategy and doesn't know what to do. In the face of adversity and true to form, Mr. Obama blamed the Pentagon for not presenting him with a number of plans of action so as to pick the one that best fulfilled his political agenda. He has no foreign policy, only a deep desire to fundamentally change this nation. But into what?
To answer that question we must first examine his ideology and his motivation for his actions or lack thereof.
Obama's grade school records indicate that he was a practicing Muslim. This speaks volumes as to why his support lies with the Muslim's and his alienation of Israel and the Christian community.
Later on in college he was a devout believer in the teachings of Sol Alinsky (Rules for Radicals).
Obama's plan is brilliant and simplistic: Having no plan or strategy is the plan and the strategy. The White House has always preferred to be reactive as opposed to proactive. As always Obama waits to be informed by the media of a crisis before reacting.
Make no mistake, this country will be attacked by ISIS, and when that day comes the first priority of the people of the United States will be to insist that their representatives in Washington impeach Obama for failing to fulfill his oath of office.

Is this fatal accident still under investigation or just swept away?
To The Daily Sun,
I feel compelled to write this as a concerned citizen. We had a 82-year-old man by the name of John Giuffrida in a wheelchair, who was struck by a car while crossing South Main Street in front of Vista Foods on Saturday, June 7. I was there when this happened.
Usually I don't pay attention to people in wheel chairs to see where they are going, but something told me to watch this person to see if they were crossing on the crosswalk, and sure enough he was. I turned around and got into my car, all of a sudden there was this horrific crash. A customer said to me, "What was that?" I said, "I hope its not what I think it is. I think a man in a wheelchair just got hit." I got out of my car to have a look and sure enough this man was laying in the road groaning. I knew it had to be bad from the sound of the crash. Unfortunately a day later, this man passed away from his injuries. The police asked for eyewitness accounts and I went down to the Laconia Police Dept and filled out a statement.
Now this happened in June, and we are now into September. Is this accident still under investigation or has it been swept under the table? Anyone else wondering the same thing? I do believe the State of New Hampshire has a law that states stop for pedestrians on crosswalks. Why isn't the media on top of this one?

Sen. Forrester combies service ideals with volunteer spirit
To The Daily Sun,
We would like to support and recognize state Sen. Jeanie Forrester.
Senator Forrester, in our opinion, is a terrific blend of community service ideals and the volunteer spirit. Additionally, she has the pragmatic skills needed to ensure that she is highly effective in Concord. Her legislative record certainly confirms that she is highly effective representing us in Concord.
Jeanie's long and distinguished record of government service is matched by her lifelong commitment to volunteering and community service across the Lakes Region and the state. Highly visible and always listening to and interacting with her constituents throughout all the towns she represents, Jeanie is always accessible, open and caring.
Jeanie Forrester serves as a Senate Committee member on the Finance, Public and Municipal Affairs Committee where her MBA from Whittemore and her extensive executive and managerial background in both the business and non-profit worlds comes in very handy. Jeanie has the knowledge, the skills and the educational and career background to be an effective steward of our Lakes Region and state economy.
Importantly, Jeanie understands and respects the unique natural resources that make her district so special for residents and tourists alike. Jeanie is committed to sustainable, affordable and reliable energy policies that grow and protect our local economies while preserving our state's natural resources for future generations.
In an era where many people are skeptical about the motives of politicians, Sen. Forrester stands out as a beacon of integrity and principles, principles that represent the best interests and core values of her constituents across our district.
Please join us in supporting state Sen. Forrester by voting for Jeanie on Sept. 9. She is committed to us.
