BetrayedI believe that each one of us has their own troubles and I too had my fair share of it as well. I had been betrayed by the person whom I had loved and treasured the most in my life. He spun a lie and distributed my photos without my permission and without even knowing it , I became an internet star overnight and I only found out after some of my friends told me about it. Apparently he had used the context of 'someone hacked into my account' and distributed the photos. However , the police had tracked him down but alas , the photos had been distributed all over the internet already and it was too late.
Not wanting to make much more of a commotion so that people's attention on me would die down , I did not file a lawsuit against him , letting him off the hook and continued the facade of having my account hacked by a stranger. But it has been a few years since that incident yet people could still recognize me like someone of the people here already did. I was especially mortified when people could recognize me when I go out in the streets , pointing their fingers at me , laughing.
I sincerely regret for being so dumb , so dumb that I had trusted the wrong guy. Trusting his sweet words and did the foolishest of things possible. I would also like to borrow the chance to apologize to the people whom I had blocked and deleted comments of.
I'm really sorry , I don't mean to do that but I just want to start a new life. It had been really hard for me to get past these two years after I became infamous. Did you know how hard was it for me just to get out of depression afterwards ? Did you know how much pain I felt when I felt as though I had disgraced my family ?
Struggling with a break up with my boyfriend , facing the stares and snickers of people , even relatives were sneering at me behind my back. Ultimately when I went out one time to fetch my little brother from school despite the stares that I were getting , I was dragged into a dark corner where I was raped. Up until today , their voice still haunts me , calling me names like a nasty dirty **** and such for posing for such photographs..
I was really that devastated that I did not come out from the house for months. Withdrawing from school , losing all form of contact with the outside world as I stayed cooped up in my bedroom , cursing myself for being that stupid. Yes , who's to blame ? I myself was the cause of all this. Unable to take it after the commotion did not die after a few months , being unable to resume to my daily life , I attempted suicide but failed. Up till today , I still have the scars on my wrist to prove it.
After attempting suicide for the first few months , my family had to refer me to a therapist. And after sessions and sessions of counselling , he finally convinced me to come out of my shell once more. He told me that if I was worried about how society viewed me , I should try socializing on the internet first and suggested to me to create a fake alias so that no one would be able to recognize me.
As many of my friends may had noticed but my replies were usually cold and short. I sincerely apologize for it , I'm just not used to conversing anymore. I'm afraid of being judged like how others had judged me without knowing the whole truth. I am afraid of trusting people now , that's why I spare little to no information about myself , not even wanting to reveal my age.
I had been scolded '****' , '*****' , '*****' in the past few days that I had joined by the people whom had recognized me through the photos. Some of them even called me fake as my name and photos were pretty infamous back then. Why is it so hard just for me to blend into society once more ? Can't I be normal again after committing a single folly ? I realize my mistakes and even people whom came out of jail often get a second chance in life and yet people are giving me the death sentence. Why must you all continue to condemn me ?
All I want now is just a second chance in life. Please , for those of you whom had added me and recognizes my photos , please try to keep mum about my real name. I just want a second chance in life as a different person , not daunted by my past anymore and I really don't know what to do anymore.. Do I really have to die for you guys to let me off ?
Hope things have taken a turn for the better now.
No. We all make mistakes. You're still young, so allow this experience to make you stronger and wiser; however, beware of isolating yourself because of the actions of a nasty person (the Ex). You're a beautiful and articulate woman, so thrive in this knowledge...
Make lots of good deeds and people don't notice, make a single mistake, and they never forget. Society had been a real downer, but there are still people out there who would look past that mistake and see you as who you really are, a strong, kind, loving lady. Well, to those who stare, they stare cause they don't have a life, or they don't know that anybody could have made that se mistake. You handled it well, stay strong.
Your story is really inspiring.
It's amazing how you managed to continue with life and I'm very glad that you did. It may seem to take a while to fall back into the patterns of society, and a lot may seem as if it has changed, but hey, life continues.
I'm sure not the whole world could have seen your mistake.
Continue to get up in the mornings, find a reason to smile, and life with bless you.
I know now, ignore parts of my message.
So sorry that you are going through this. It will all pass but that's no comfort in the moment. Fortunately the internet is moving so fast that anything more than a few days old is ancient history and largely forgotten. Don't harm yourself, it will get better.
It's really terrifying that we as a people have come to this. We see something on the internet or television and automatically assume we know the truth, and anyone who doesn't agree with us is "blind". You seem like a really sweet woman, and I personally doubt I would be able to recognize you, but that isn't why I requested a friendship. I believe that everyone should be given a second chance to correct their mistakes, because everyone makes them in all forms. I wish you the best.
oh my god, this is so embarrassed. the only thing I can help you is by praying.. hoping that you can get through with these trials.. Be strong girl.. and if u want any strange person to talk to, Im free will.. this is so sad.. :(
None of this was your fault you cannot be responsible for other people's actions or narrow views. Sadly you have paid dearly for it. You have done exceedingly well to get this far don't give up x
I'm so sorry you had to go through all that. It's sad because I feel like many people share pictures like that with the one they love, and I'm sure some of the people that scoffed at you did the same. There is absolutely nothing wrong with what you did. You shouldn't have to feel guilty or wrong. I'm sure people will get over it, keep your head high! Go out there and be yourself and no matter what is in your past people will see the real you and love you.
You will fine someone to love you, so don't even worry yourself about it.
dunno what you did in your past sweetie but it doesn't matter. I'd date you in second! :)
Your story brought tears to my eyes Debbie, I feel heartbroken for you, the situation you were put it just by loving and trusting is so unjust..
Yes like many people say it will take time, a long time but you need to re evaluate the people around you who did not stand by you and support you and press the delete button on them..
I would love to be your friend and chat with you and be there to just listen to you even vent if need be. Nobody is perfect we have all done silly or stupid things and sometimes it's a massive learning curve for us when things go wrong.
I hope you find strength and slowly slowly each new day will bring a smile to your face...
All the best Debbie, take care xxxx
Please email me if you are upto it, I'd love to hear from you....
There are whole communities who live their lives totally naked, award parties for **** stars and girls totally naked on tv every single day of the year. There is nothing dirty or shamefull about being naked, its beautiful. The people who judged you should be the ones hanging their heads in shame for treating another person like that. You were tricked, people are bastards, you loved someone and they betrayed you. Anyone with half a brain should see you were the victim and took those photos because it was an intimimate moment between you and a loved one, who later ****** you over. Its cool, you'll be stronger by the end and you've got rid of all the useless people in your life in one great step. Its time to find the new life and take the next steps. You will survive and be great. Happy face x
My God is a God of 2 and 3rd chance.Jesus great granmother married twice {RUTH}, his great, great....great grandmother was a prostitute.There is no shame for you. Rather your BF act is shameful. Don't worry! Hold your heads high. Can't you see so many boys comment you are cute?So seek to live an honorable life!
Dear Debbie,
Your post made me cry. I cry for you and and all the women out there who are victimized by the "so called humans " that would do such a thing to a woman. You didn't deserve it . Photos in a private setting should remain that way, private. It is hard to find a trustworthy young man, they don't think! They do not think what they could do to you, let alone invading your privacy but publicly humiliating you! I wished you would have had him prosecuted because now he can go on and do this horrible thing to other women! That part makes me upset too, he should have been punished !
Don't blame yourself, everyone has something in their life they are not proud of. If you have to and can, move to a different area and start a new life. If you can't then to all the people that snickered behind your back, pay no attention, the more you feel bad about it the more they will keep doing it. I would suggest not associating with them, find new friends and move on. As far as family members doing this to you, I would confront thm and tell them you messed up , and that you do not appreciate their nasty comments and you would have hoped that they would have been empathetic not join the crowd of fools that condemn you. Tell them that if it continues you will be forced to cut all ties with them.
Find a group for abused women and go and tell your story.
I wish you all the best! You are better than the insecure snickering fools. Be proud of yourself and learn from your mistake.
God loves you!
You should never be ashamed of what happen in the past. Sadly there is A-holes in this world. I would recommend learn for the past mistakes and move foward wit the head high. Do the best you can, and if you can defenitive move to a new place. No A-hole should make you feel less about yourself!.
I am so sorry for all that you have had to endure. I can only imagine the pain and embarrassment that you have gone through. I wish there was a way that I could help you and take you away from the pain of your past haunting you.
Have you reported to the police about the rape? Those *** holeee are monster. They are fuckinggg criminals. People saw your **** photos that show they are fuckingg sinners watch those kind of craps.
It is hard especially live in Asia. People are not behave like in the western countries. I hope you can move abroad in somewhere nobody knows you.
Please don't suicide!
I want to be your friend and accept you.
Aw you poor thing. It's not your fault, hopefully you'll get a chance to a fresh start.
Sad to know all that you have gone through. I have been a victim too. But it was my girlfriend turned wife who did the same. It took me 3 years to come out of that shock. I suggest you too can overcome. Be strong and take courage.
Hold your head up. **** THOSE MOTHER *******. So what a few lewd pic's. So WHAT
You should never be ashamed of who you are. No person should make you feel less about yourself!
if you okay with sorry that's good but i don't think that's a word worth the situation....pray its gone
"Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings."
There are males out there who believe women are sacred. Are you to be a victimized because you are a good soul and you show positive attributes like caring and trust. I hope you can and will find peace. The quote above from Elie Wiesel holds true, especially given the community at EP. You are not alone and there are good, like minded people that care about you. After reading your story, i now too hope and pray for your well being. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong. What ever it takes
Wow, that really got me , hang in there, so you made a mistake- just flush the toilet and move on.
I have several big mistakes in my life and I am still working through it all.
I wish you to be happy.
I think you have found a community that accepts you. I'm sorry about what happened to you, but I don't think it was your fault.
I am sorry. I hope you are better now. I agree with one of the posters who said, what does not kill you makes you stronger. You do not see life from that prospective at the time. You are beautiful and Chinese. I am going there Next September for 5 weeks. I look forward to my visit.
We all make mistakes, the important part is what you learn from them. <br />
Hold your chin high, learn from your mistake and move on with your life. As bad as this is for you things could be worse. I must say though that the person that did this to you is a worm not worth your thoughts so don't give him your power by letting this define who you are. Hang in there!
GEESE ,THATS MIND BLOWING ! how could a person do something like that.forgive me for trusting too. I can relate to your story because of experience. A man is suppose to love and respect his partner regardless if their married or not,consenting adults you would think everything is cool! Thanks You so much for SHARING!!
it is never wrong to love. Unfortunately the person you loved ended up being a disgrace to men. No person man or woman should ever share something given in love. They say every person has a twin and just tell people that is your twin. You seem like a true sweet girl and I will say very pretty. Everybody makes mistakes but trusting someone you love should never come back to haunt you. I really want to be your friend. I am a nice guy and I hope I can bring some joy to your life. I will admit I might go over the top on compliments sometime but WOW you are a gorgeous girl. I hope you can love again and you WILL find a nice guy that will love you back. You have suffered like no person should ever suffer so hopefully now life will only bring you pleasure.
Sorry for what this dirtbag put you though Debbie. What you need someone to cherish you and to make you happy.
wow what a horrible experience. i myself went through a different but equally bad experience when i was younger. i was in highschool and was betrayed by a "friend". at the time this happened no one knew i was gay. he called me one day for what seemed like a casual phone call. oh boy was i sadly mistaken. i found out later that he recorded our conversation and took the time to dub a tape of it. during the chat he was asking me specific questions to which he knew he would get me to say what he wanted. he then circulated copies of the tape to the entire school. it wasnt long before i had people i didnt even know coming up to me just to cast insults. it was a very painful time in my life and i would pray for death every day. well the saying goes what doesnt kill you makes you stronger right? that ordeal made me alot stronger and, like you, hardened and cold towards others. just give it time and one day you will realise that you will be one tough lady. i just wanted to share this with you to let you know that you are not alone. i feel your pain because ive been there. take care
It is not your fault in the least... Don't blame yourself for others ignorance. I'm glad that you are able to socialize again. You had your bad times but it seems like you are becoming a stronger person... I would like to add you as a friend and chat sometime. I hope your doing a lot better and continue to do so. :-)
I am sorry to hear that...but i am also happy that u realised ur mistake. Everyone deserves a second chance just be strong and ignore those stupid people around u..try to think positively and never let anything bring u down..*hug*
Those people were never your real friends, they did you a favor, your only crime was trusting someone with somthing. they should be mad at him. All those people showed thier true colors about what they are really all about. A real friend would have stood by you..family included. they should all be ashamed. but Karma, one day they may be in similiar situation and maybe feel what you feel now and actually get it, maybe he wished they stood by you because you would stood by them..I'ts really disgusting when you think how they treated you when you needed them the most. On a much lesser scale I got a promotion once, had the time..could do the job..was ignored by people who thought were friends..including the one person I thought would stand by me...nope..I told them off ..what I thought...saw them at work ingnored them..if they stared I would stare back..yell..what? you got somthing you want to say? or walk right up to thier lil group ..they weren't going to intimidate me...you are soo better off with them..its not your fault..it was his..and your so called friends...
This reminds me of the girl that left a message to the world on youtube who had this similar problem like you, although she successfully committed suicide. :( You have been heard Debbie because of this story you shared with me and others on EP. I don't know what it's like to be you but I could imagine and tell how much you suffer far more greater. If you meet the right person or people, you will find a second chance at life. Don't give up hope. I myself is still looking for that support group, someone special, or just a significant person I trust. I'm dealing with loneliness and I'm sure part of you has that also. It's a cruel world, I know. I've experience it myself for being too gullible all the time and I hated that sometimes. I'm that easily influence by others but not as much as before now. Story like these makes me want to be their instant EP buddy. Thanks for sharing. Well said.

Tips on Wisconsin child porn cases took years to investigate
In 2011, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children passed along 1,059 tips about potential child exploitation to Wisconsin, including one on Robert Turk (left), a Pewaukee man suspected of uploading 200 images of child pornography via Facebook. Nothing was done for more than two years. The previous year, the center passed along 418 tips, including one on Christopher Kosakoski (right), a Milwaukee teen described as having a history of troubling sexual encounters. Nothing was done for more than three years.
Two state agents reassigned after questions about delays
The delays meant that a Milwaukee man, 19, was left free to allegedly molest a 15-year-old schoolmate, while a Pewaukee man obtained a plea bargain. »Read Full Article

TELEGRAPHIC Tremendous Bush Fires. MELBOURNE, Feb. 8. •Bush fires are raging throughout the State and have desolated many districts. Valuable properties have been swept away and numerous families rendered homeless. The Western district, which suffered so severely-last year, has.again been de-' vastated -by a firewhichstarted five miles from Hamsilto'n. -Fanned by a strong north wind it swept irresistibly along, and grass,-fencimng, trees, and stock went down before it. Many houses were threatened, but escaped serious damage, some being charred and others half -burnt. The estate of Mr. A. J. Simson, a well-known breeder of Shropshires, was-almost entirely destroyed. The wool sheds and sheep sheds were swept away, ":'and the homestead was only saved by a nmiracle. Byaduk, a fair-sized township, a few miles further on, now barely exists. In Lower Byaduk. three houses alone stand out of the original fifteen,.. and to-day seen -smoking from the charred ruins, the place is terrible to look upon. On one big station 2ooo sheep were roasted, and a mile or two further along on the MIurrori Estate nearly 30oo sheep were roasted and charred. Filly so,ooo sheep and much valuable stock and ma chinery, and many sheds, houses, and., outbuildings in this district have disa.p peared. Casterton and the dtljoining country is a mass of .smoke. The fire which - gaaused this started on Wednesday and burned all night Thursday; and then, tanned by a heavy north wind, swept toward Condah, covering scores of miles of country, and it is still burning. Old residents say that Black Thursday did not exceed in fierce intensity and de .vastation Thursday's fire. The .rnaiwy line .between Mialcite
and Branxholme is a wreck, and the lossj of stock, crc;s, and fencing is enor moius. 'Camperdown has suffered severely. Railway bridges and culverts have been burned and farms and stations devastated. At Dunolly the newly-erected Pres byterian church was blown down and the roofs. of houses and sheds scattered by terrific gales which careered madly over this State on Thursday night. The.Birregurra distriot has suffered most intensely, not only in property and stock, but valuable lives have been sacrificed. A spark from a passing train caused the fire, which has already accounted for five lives, with two o?thers still hanging in the balance. The dam age done to the district is at present in calculable. The Yeo Valehomestead, with the woolsheds and machinery, was com pletely demolished. It was at this spot that several plucky fire-fighters were so'severely burnt as to necessitate their removal to the Colac. Hospital. The Deep Deane property was also des troyed, and the township of Birregurra narrowly . escaped total destruction. Houses after houses were swallowed uj and the manager of the Colonial Bank had to place his wife and family in a tank to save their lives. Three sturdy little fellows were burned to death in the panic and con fusion... The two McCallum boys, aged io and Ii. and young McDonald, aged I2, got separaited from their people, and their charred remains were after wards found. The forest is still in flames, and the navvies on the rail way there only succeeded in 'saving their tents. Kingwell, one of the fire-fighters so badly burnt on Thursday, died in the Colac Hospiital this evening. Two o.:hers are in an extremely critical con dition. The injured men are Wm. Lanbell, Wm. ?mes, Juner,. Oliver, Clifton, and Wm. Wells, all of whom may still possibly sucrumb. A fierce fire swept the Yielima State forest, in the Nathalia district, . on Thursdai and practically -destroyed it. The danage was great, and will seri ously affect the red gum industry, by nason of the large number of young trees destroyed. Avenel, mn the North-East~ern dis trict, has been scourged for miles by the fiercest bush- fire ever known in the district. The extent of the fire was 25 miles by. 12. At one time yester day, the Sydney express and other trains' travelling in the North-Eastern. district had to pass between walls of fire.

Running up the score? The New England Patriots got a ton of heat for running up the score in 2007. But the Broncos have avoided any of that talk, despite scoring at a higher rate than the '07 Patriots. If Denver scores 50-plus points against Dallas, I wonder if any national writers will pick up on the theme.
Jeff, scoreboard watcher
Kiz: Here's one theory. These Broncos are more likable than any Patriots team. New England quarterback Tom Brady makes guys envious. Those same guys wish Denver QB Peyton Manning could be their neighbor. And next to evil Dr. Hoodie (Bill Belichick), Broncos coach John Fox is downright cuddly. Run up the score? Here's thinking Denver might have to do it to survive in Dallas. Prediction: Broncos 37, Cowboys 34.
Mr. October a bad rap. I absolutely agree with you and Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey: Expanding the NFL season to 18 games would be a bad idea. As it is, I decided years ago not to pay much attention to the opening eight games of the season unless there is a good matchup between top teams or a player such as Manning is performing brilliantly. A team can be confused about the real purpose of the first eight games: Get your act together, then do well enough in the second half of the season to make a run at the Super Bowl.
Stan, Fort Collins
Kiz: Manning is Mr. October. That's awesome in baseball, not so hot in football. And that's the one thing Manning must change to be known as the greatest QB who ever played.
Expanding playoffs a rinky-dink idea. Loved your column about how the NFL is a glutton for profit. If fans want more football, why not add more teams to the postseason? This is what I would do: Cut one or more preseason games and add two teams from the NFC and AFC to the playoffs. I would rather see more wild-card teams than more regular-season games, which only increases the chance of injury and seeing Brock Osweiler playing quarterback for the Broncos in the Super Bowl.
Clint, Appleton, Wis.
Kiz: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell knows he would look like a hypocrite on the issue of player health by expanding the regular season anytime soon. So his plan to increase profits is to add playoff teams. Here's the problem: If you expanded the playoff field to 16 teams, having a winning record would no longer be a qualification for making the tournament. Seven teams with 8-8 records or worse would have qualified for the playoffs during the past four seasons. The NFL postseason should be more prestigious than some rinky-dink college bowl game in Shreveport, La., don't you think?
Logical head vs. Rockies' heart. And today's parting shot is from a Colorado baseball fan who can't quit the Rockies:
I got my season-ticket renewal e-mail from Rockies owner Dick Monfort. No changes in the front office? Unbelievable! So frustrating. My head tells me to turn my back on the Rockies, but my heart won't let me. Write a column and flame these knuckleheads.
Michael, broken-hearted lover

subtitle: Donuts and coffee secrets
What's a road trip without coffee and donuts? it's unheard of. While on the road out east – we tried to share the secret of keeping your coffee in your cup instead of being spilt on your lap while trying to drink it in a moving car. Since the roads in Montreal / highway 20 were in the state they were in – I figured it was time for a second attempt. I requested a pit stop to pick up the necessary supplies and was pleasantly surprised by a specialty donut. You have to love the spirit of support fans of the Habs. I wasn't going to get a donut – but I decided it needed to be done. Christian was not up for eating one – so I took it for the team.
As for coffee secrets – I recorded a second attempt at getting the proper lid design in place to prevent you from "clausing" yourself with hot coffee while driving. This time around – I was in the passenger seat.

Galaxy DX2547 Review, Written By Raymond B. on Sun, Jul 10, 2011
This is a awesome radio, but I am not an expert on all the radios out there. I just know this radio works for me. Once again Walcott has done a perfect job, everything came as orderd and showed up a day early. I got the peak and tune and the Antron 99 antenna. I just have the antenna hooked up to the cloths line for now untill i get the stuff i need for the chimny. There was no need to adjust the SWR it was 1.4 on channel 1 and all the way down 1.0 on 40, I am not going to mess with it. A very nice radio and antenna, I was talking skip right away. It will be better once the antenna is on the roof. The large Channel knob is nice feels good going thru the channels.

Nerys, thank you for your response however we are not interested. 123 REG cost us 10000's of baht in business. The reason we are not interested is that 123 REG showed that they were not interested. At least we have said so up front and with 24 hours.

OK - 123-reg sucks - BECAUSE: As it turns out, the default settings on the server are for log files to grow infinitely. Not being a server guru, I would never guess that something like that needs to be set differently from the default setting. Needless to say, after a few months the logfiles are so huge that the server stops running. I open a support ticket, but after several hours no response. I have to wait until 9:00 AM until the support phones are answered. Fun enough now? All day, the… Read Full ReviewVisit 123-reg.co.uk

Here is the final product of the King of the Concrete Jungle belt for Kingsport Speedway. For a first time shot at making one of these I'm quite happy with the end result, been trying to bend the center plate just a bit so it has a curve in it but so far I haven't had a lot of luck with it....so glad to see all of those years watching 'wrasslin came in handy, lol.
And yes, I've been wearing it around the shop...feels so good for the ego.
And yes, I've been wearing it around the shop...feels so good for the ego.
came out ok, nicely done
Don't know if BoBo Brazil or Dick the Brusier would have worn it, but it looks good.
I did a lot of researching on the design before I made it (they wanted a jungle theme, hence the clawmarks, zebra stripes and palm trees) I went onto Highspots, a wrestling supply company and looked at their belts...they can't touch this, lol.

Something remarkably enchanting about this work.
L'ambiance est super ! Le titre est en référence à l'assassin royale ?
Terrific lighting on this.
One step beyond N.C. Wyeth. Beautiful light and sense of place.
Exquisite lighting, tones and colours!!
This is truly amazing! The thumbnail does look like a very complex picture, it really didn't let me exspect a speedpainting! This is just a great use of light and atmosphere.
Reminds me of Oblivion for some reason. It's beautiful. It evokes a great sense of emotion.
the colors are amazing !!!! XDD
AHH I am forever amazed and jealous that people are able to make such beautiful scenes in so little time! The atmosphere, the pose, the colors... they're all just right. *stab worship stab*!
love iiittt
superbe *o* cette clarte est vraiment reconfortante ^__^
(et j'aime le titre ^^ allusion a la saga de Castelcerf je suppose ?)
(et j'aime le titre ^^ allusion a la saga de Castelcerf je suppose ?)
Le choix de cette lumière presque crue alors que tout le reste respire la sensualité, c'est vraiment très réussi ! l'atmosphère est du coup très étrange et très mystérieuse ^^ Génial !
Magnifique, aucun brush qui encombre la lecture, tout bien placer, j'adore
great landscape
This is really beautiful! I love the colors and that light. Great work!
Really impressive! I love the lights in it
That's amazing... You should really try to finish this piece! We are all cheering for you!
beautiful scene, nice work
très poétique et la lumière diffuse est splendide
a very lovely piece!
Whoa! *rubs eyes* Man, what an amazing setting in this piece! The character is very well done as is the beautiful bird, but your atmosphere and environment definitely steals the show here. I'm very curious to know how long this took as a speed paint is generally completed within an hour, but I can't see all this taking one hour. You even have some moss on the rocks for the big win! Superb work on this, it's very inspirational!
Lovely atmosphere.. you should go on with this one and finish it <3
Not really the type of art that I'm in, but this piece is really impressive! Congrats.
Wow. That's amazing.
This is GORGEOUS! I would absolutely love to see how much more beautiful it could be not as a speedpaint.
Thats really cool. Great job! ^-^

DAMOS LA BIENVENIDA A LAS FAMILIAS CON NIÑOS. El Villa Park House es uno de los pocos B & B en Spring Lake, Nueva Jersey que da la bienvenida a familias con niños, por lo que es una alternativa ideal para familias, maravilloso alojamiento en hoteles. Estamos localizados convenientemente bloques de cuatro y una mitad del océano Atlántico y dos kilómetros de Jersey Shore paseo marítimo y playas de arena. No es simplemente una escapada - Es una experiencia!

We were looking for a b and b in Spring Lake that would allow us to spend two of the three nights of the Memorial Day weekend. After many calls to other inns, Matthew was willing to accommodate us with the caveat that we book a room with a shared bath. No biggie but we booked months in advance and it looked like it would have been to our advantage to wait as many of the other guests also only spent part of the weekend there. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and enthusiastically by Matthew, who made sure we had all the information we needed for our stay. Our room was basic but included a mini fridge, a nice extra. There is parking behind the inn and also across the street. Breakfasts were sumptuous and delicious but better for a meat eater (I am vegetarian but still had plenty). We were very happy when Matthew was flexible to include my brother in an additional breakfast while he waited out the traffic from the Spring Lake Five Run. It is a reasonable walk to the beach (tags included) and to town. The inn is located very near the train tracks so you WILL hear trains. Also - it is kid friendly so make sure this is not a problem for you (you will hear the more "rambunctious" children). Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would consider returning.

the room was very nice however we found the bed to be too firm for our liking. It should be noted we like a very soft bed so this may not be a problem for many. The owner provided excellent service and is very welcoming. The cost was in line with expectation. Cleanliness was excellent. The breakfast was very hardy, enough to last until dinner.

My wife and I went for a relaxing day/night there and it was EXACTLY what we wanted. Fireplace, great breakfast, Matthew was a super host! I would highly recommend the Villa Park House in beautiful Spring Lake! Frank C. Leonia, NJ

We were attending a wedding locally and needed a room for the evening. Villa Park House was mentioned as one of the choices and we always will pick a B&B if available so we chose Villa Park House. Our host Matthew greeted me on check in and helped with our overnight bags to our spacious 2nd floor room with a huge king sized bed. Everything in the room was perfect and Matthew prepared a wonderful breakfast in the morning. All in all, so glad we made the choice to stay there.

From check in to to time leaving 3 days later Matt and his staff were part of our new family. There family was our new family for a short visit with his younger children also giving us a warm well come on our check in. Our room was clean and in the front of the house ( and I don't care what other people say about the train, I looked forward to watching it go by time and time again. i would stay up at night and also in the morning look forward to see the train go by again.. I would stand by the tracks to see that train night after night.) Drove my wife nuts because I would wait to see the train again and again. Matt is the best host ever of all the B and B that we have stayed at over the years. Also the breakfast is better that you will find any where around.

stevesmithfor6 replied to Lilsmitty09's topic in Carolina PanthersSaying that he's trading in rainy days for 100 plus degree summerssummers and everyone staying inside is exaggerating a tad. I'm upstate south Carolina, and it is normal to have low to mid 90's in summer, but it is fairly rare to reach the 100's. It happens, but maybe a couple times a summer at most. And people still get out in that temp. Carolinas north or south are great place to live, all areas have pros and cons, no matter what state you live in. But the positives in north and south Carolina outweigh the cons

Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
4 10
"This tasty appetizer is similar to the version served in restaurants, but it has a fresh homemake flavor that keeps everyone dipping," remarks Cathy Carroll from Grayson, Louisiana. "It's a cheesy scrumptious snack that always results in recipe requests."
- 1 jar (6-1/2 ounces) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Colby/Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 teaspoon Creole seasoning
- Vegetables, tortilla chips or crackers
- In a skillet, saute artichokes and onion in butter until onion is tender. Stir in spinach and Parmesan cheese; cook over low heat until spinach is heated through. Add Colby/Monterey Jack cheese, milk and Creole seasoning; heat until cheese is melted. Serve immediately with vegetables, tortilla chips or crackers. Yield: 2 cups.
Editor's Note: The following spices may be substituted for 1 teaspoon Creole seasoning: 1/4 teaspoon each salt, garlic powder and paprika; and a pinch each of dried thyme, ground cumin and cayenne pepper.

Family members are mourning the death of Fred Lopez Gonzales, 64, who was struck by two cars and killed Monday night in Huntington Beach.
Gonzales, a Huntington Beach resident, was crossing Beach Boulevard south of Ellis Avenue just before 11:30 p.m. when he was hit, police said.
His daughter Marisa Gonzales, 35, said she had seen her father earlier that day but the family started to worry when he didn't return home for dinner.
"He came by at about 2:30 p.m. and he was excited because he had just found a church downtown that he had gone to that morning," she said. "That was the last time I saw him."
Marisa said her father didn't drive and would often bike or walk places.
Fred Gonzales had worked as a chef at Crabby Kenny's in downtown and most recently held a place in the kitchen for eight years at Newport Beach's Club 333. His daughter said he was recently laid off and had been considering taking a year to volunteer his culinary talents to various local nonprofits.
Police said it appears the driver of a 1988 Oldsmobile Toronado sedan struck Gonzales in the southbound lanes. He was then struck by a 2008 Ford Ranger pickup, police said.
Gonzales had been a chef since his early 20s, but he grew up learning the ropes in the kitchen at a Los Angeles Mexican restaurant his parents owned, his daughter said.
He broke off on his own and started a catering company followed by a baking business. A series of culinary trials led him back to Huntington Beach, where he was born and raised.
Gonzales loved to cook for his family, too. They would host family dinners every Sunday and one of his grandchildren's favorite dishes was his fettuccini Alfredo.
Although cooking was his passion, it wasn't his only gift, Marisa said.
"He was talented when it came to music. He could play pretty much anything you put in his hands," she said. "I don't think very many people knew how talented he was."
Fred Gonzales was a devoted family man. He loved spending time with his children and also took care of his mother and brother.
"He was my rock when things got hard," Marisa said. "He was the one person I could call that would always make me see the brighter side of things."
Marisa said she mostly wants the community to remember her father as a man with a playful spirit who loved those around him.
"He loved life," she said. "He just had a big heart and made you laugh. He'll be missed."
Fred Gonzales is survived by his mother, his children Brian Schott, 42; Aaron Gonzales, 37; Marisa Gonzales 35; Mark Gonzales 35; Christian Gonzales, 31; 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
Memorial services have not yet been set.

President Lyndon B. Johnson serves as Commander-in-Chief in the second year of his elected term — having assumed the position in 1963 following the death of John F. Kennedy. Black-nationalist leader Malcolm X was just shot to death at a Harlem rally. "The Sound of Music" plays on the big screen while The Temptations "My Girl" and The Beatles' "Eight Days a Week" play on the radio. A first class postage stamp costs 5¢. We're back in 1965.
On Broadway, Zero Mostel and Sammy Davis star in new musicals Fiddler on the Roof and Golden Boy, respectively, while John Gielgud appears in Edward Albee's Tiny Alice and Jason Robards delivers a dramatic turn in Hughie. Playwright Neil Simon and up-and-coming director Mike Nichols — whose last collaboration, Barefoot in the Park, is still on the boards — introduce their latest.
Art Carney and Walter Matthau are the big stars of the new comedy The Odd Couple about two lovelorn men — one neat, one not — who suddenly find themselves roommates. The cast of the work, which opens March 10 at the Plymouth Theatre, also features Nathaniel Frey, Paul Dooley, Carole Shelley, Monica Evans, Sidney Armus and John Fielder.
The title page of The Odd Couple Playbill.
In the Playbill, among advertisements for cars (the Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight with "Morrocceen fabrics, walnut-grained paneling," Ford's Thunderbird Special Landau with "'burled walnut' vinyl accents on doors and instrument panel" or Chrysler's Imperial-Vintage (featuring "inlays of rare claro walnut" inside), perfumes, cruises, cosmetics, airlines (TWA, Pan Am or Iberia), cigarettes and plenty of alcohol are full pagers for original Broadway cast recordings of Goldern Boy, Luv and Fiddler on the Roof.
An ad for the cast album of Golden Boy
Editorial featured in the Playbill include a Harold Clurman-penned "French Dramatists of Our Day," a "Playwright as Psychoanalyst" focus on the colliding worlds of drama and science," the signature "Who's Who in the Cast" and "Theatre Quiz" as well as an Al Hirschfeld "unLikely Casting" caricature of Barbra Streisand as Saint Joan and Steve Lawrence as The Dauphin in the George Bernard Shaw classic (accompanied by the actor's reactions: Streisand "sends word that she views this casting as not unlikely at all" while Lawrence quipped he would "be glad to play anything with Barbra — even jacks.")
Part of Al Hirschfeld's "unLikely Casting."
Original cast member Carole Shelley — who made her Broadway debut in the work as Gwendolyn Pidgeon — recalled the experience for her and fellow Londoner and Broadway newcomer Monica Evans (Cecily Pidgeon). "We had no idea really how grand it all was going to be. We had heard of Neil Simon, we had met Mike Nichols, we had seen Walter Matthau on film [in "Charade"], but we did not know an Art Carney if we saw him. The irony was, he was the big star." She recalled "The day after it opened on Broadway, [there were] mounted policemen holding back the crowd all the way up to the then Astor Hotel [now the One Astor Plaza office tower] and around [onto] Broadway, it was pretty mind-blowing." [A revival of another play Shelley appeared in, Absurd Person Singular, recently opened on Broadway.]
The Odd Couple would lose out for the Best Play Tony Award that season to Frank Gilroy's The Subject Was Roses (which also earned the Pulitzer Prize for Drama), but playwright Simon would took home an honor for the work as Best Author (no longer a category). Tony wins also went to director Nichols (also honored for Luv), scenic designer Oliver Smith and actor Matthau — who would star opposite Jack Lemmon and original co-stars Shelley, Evans and Fielder in the 1968 film. The Broadway run would last 966 performances before ending (then at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre) July 2, 1967. The characters Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison would later endure in a television version which ran 1970-75 and in 1985 would become Olive Madison and Florence Ungar in a female Broadway version starring Rita Moreno and Sally Struthers.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 29 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CowboyJack Good product; good price; good delivery. Filters worked well in my dog's fountain water dish. He didn't say he could tell a difference in the taste, but I noticed he was drinking more water. I took that as a good sign of his approval and much appreciated especially with a hot summer coming on. April 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MunchkinMom Convienent 6 pack The PetMate fountain encourages the cats to drink,and the filters help to keep the water fresh tasting. With a 6 pack of filters I am able to have extras filters available when needed. March 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by looney hard to find in my area I have not been able to find these in my area for over 1 year I am very happy that you have them for my older Petmate water flowing bowl for my cats August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amzy Good to remove dirt and hair in water The water from our tap has so many chemicals that could easily cause our pets to have kidney or liver problems, so we have always used the fresh flow water fountain. The filters also remove any hair or dirt particles that can get into the fountain. It captures a lot of dirt and food particles and keeps the fountain water clean. June 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by phil237 looks good While I haven't tried these yet, because I just got my fountain and it came with a filter. They look just like the one that came with the unit, so they should be just as effective and easy to install as the one in it now. If you're going to use one of these fountains, you're going to want to use the right filter for it, since these are from the manufacturer I expect they will work fine. August 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Quilter Excellent Service I could not buy these filters in Rochester. I love the fountain and didn't want to change. A fussy cat hates anything new. I ordered the filters online and they arrived within a couple of days. Wonderful service...now have a happy cat. December 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by sageroze Fountain Filters i really like that I can get a 6 pack of these. my scheduled shipment comes every 6 weeks and I can change the filter every week and not break the bank trying to give my fur babies better than tap water. These are for a fountain water bowl and one of my dogs and the kitty really like the fountain bowl.. my other dog she like her water tainted with ACV and will not drink water unless it contains ACV. July 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mikie14 Chewy.com/ Petmate Deluxe drinking fountain and filters I have had a Fresh Flow fountain for many years. It began to have a few broken parts so I decided to just order a new one since I feel it had given very good performance. I ordered the filters with the fountain since they are hard to find locally and have to be ordered. Chewys.com has provided excellent customer service and Brittany was extremely helpful. I will use Chewys.com again. February 26, 2015

Parallel shell with pdsh
Shell Games
The most fundamental tool needed to administer a cluster is a parallel shell, which allows you to run the same command on a series of nodes. In this article, we look at pdsh.
A parallel shell allows you to run the same command on designated nodes in the cluster, so you don't have to log in to each node to run the command. This tool can be useful in many ways, but I like to use it when performing administrative tasks, such as:
- Checking the versions of particular software packages on each node
- Checking the OS version on all nodes
- Checking the kernel version on all nodes
- Searching the system logs on each node (if you don't store them centrally)
- Examining the CPU usage on each node
- Examining local I/O (if the nodes are doing local I/O)
- Checking whether any nodes are swapping
- Spot-monitoring the compute nodes
The complete list of possible tasks is extensive, but anything you want to do on a single node can be done on a large number of nodes using a parallel shell tool.
If you try to use a parallel shell on a 50,000-node cluster, however, the time skew could be large enough to make the results meaningless. Although certain techniques can allow the use of parallel commands on a large number of nodes, parallel shells are better used on a modest number of nodes or to gather information on slowly varying data. Parallel shells are even great for administering instances in the cloud on something like Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Many parallel shells are available – including DSH [1], PyDSH [2], PPSS [3], PSSH [4], pdsh [5], PuSSH [6], sshpt [7], and mqsh [8] – and each tool has its pros and cons. (Note: I have not tested all of these tools, so I can't vouch for them.) Several of these tools are written in Python, which has become a very popular tool for devops.
In this article, I'll select one of the parallel shells to illustrate its possibilities. Other tools are fairly similar, with some syntactical differences and various sets of features. The tool I'm going to talk about here is
Introduction to pdsh
Pdsh is arguably one of the most popular parallel shell tools. The most recent version on SourceForge as of writing this article is 2.26, dated 2011-05-01. Code development appears to have moved to Google code. The most recent version there is 2.29, updated February 2013. I'll be using that version in this article.
Pdsh is very interesting because it allows you to run commands on multiple nodes using only
ssh. The client nodes only need
ssh, which is generally present on systems, and you don't need to install any extra software on the compute nodes – you just need
ssh. However, you need the ability to SSH to any node without a password ("passwordless SSH").
Building and Installing pdsh
Building and installing pdsh is really simple if you've built code using GNU's autoconfigure before. The steps are quite easy:
./configure --with-ssh --without-rsh make make install
This puts the binaries into
/usr/local/, which is fine for testing purposes. For production work, I would put it in
/opt or something like that – just be sure it's in your path.
You might notice that I used the
--without-rsh option in the
configure command. By default, pdsh uses
rsh, which is not really secure, so I chose to exclude it from the configuration. In the output in Listing 1, you can see the pdsh rcmd modules (rcmd is the remote command used by pdsh). Notice that the "available rcmd modules" at the end of the output lists only ssh and exec. If I didn't exclude rsh, it would be listed here, too, and it would be the default. To override rsh and make ssh the default, you just add the following line to your
.bashrc file:
Listing 1
rcmd Modules
[laytonjb@home4 ~]$ pdsh -v pdsh: invalid option -- 'v' Usage: pdsh [-options] command ... -S return largest of remote command return values -h output usage menu and quit -V output version information and quit -q list the option settings and quit -b disable ^C status feature (batch mode) -d enable extra debug information from ^C status -l user execute remote commands as user -t seconds set connect timeout (default is 10 sec) -u seconds set command timeout (no default) -f n use fanout of n nodes -w host,host,... set target node list on command line -x host,host,... set node exclusion list on command line -R name set rcmd module to name -M name,... select one or more misc modules to initialize first -N disable hostname: labels on output lines -L list info on all loaded modules and exit available rcmd modules: ssh,exec (default: ssh)
export PDSH_RCMD_TYPE=ssh
Be sure to "source" your
.bashrc file (i.e.,
source .bashrc) to set the environment variable. You can also log out and log back in. If, for some reason, you see the following when you try running pdsh,
$ pdsh -w 192.168.1.250 ls -s pdsh@home4: 192.168.1.250: rcmd: socket: Permission denied
then you have built it with rsh. You can either rebuild pdsh without rsh, or you can use the environment variable in your
.bashrc file, or you can do both.
First pdsh Commands
To begin, I'll try to get the kernel version of a node by using its IP address:
$ pdsh -w 192.168.1.250 uname -r 192.168.1.250: 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64
-w option means I am specifying the node(s) that will run the command. In this case, I specified the IP address of the node (192.168.1.250). After the list of nodes, I add the command I want to run, which is
uname -r in this case. Notice that pdsh starts the output line by identifying the node name.
If you need to mix rcmd modules in a single command, you can specify which module to use in the command line,
$ pdsh -w ssh:email@example.com uname -r 192.168.1.250: 2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64
by putting the rcmd module before the node name. In this case, I used ssh and typical ssh syntax.
A very common way of using pdsh is to set the environment variable
WCOLL to point to the file that contains the list of hosts you want to use in the pdsh command. For example, I created a subdirectory
PDSH where I create a file
hosts that lists the hosts I want to use:
[laytonjb@home4 ~]$ mkdir PDSH [laytonjb@home4 ~]$ cd PDSH [laytonjb@home4 PDSH]$ vi hosts [laytonjb@home4 PDSH]$ more hosts 192.168.1.4 192.168.1.250
I'm only using two nodes: 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.250. The first is my test system (like a cluster head node), and the second is my test compute node. You can put hosts in the file as you would on the command line separated by commas. Be sure not to put a blank line at the end of the file because pdsh will try to connect to it. You can put the environment variable
WCOLL in your
.bashrc file:
export WCOLL=/home/laytonjb/PDSH/hosts
As before, you can source your .bashrc file, or you can log out and log back in.

Set in a futuristic cartoon-like world where rocketlauncher-wielding pigs and lasergun-carrying cyberpunks roam the streets, Warsow is a completely free fast-paced first-person shooter (FPS) for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. Speed and movement, that's what Warsow is all about. Like a true cyberathlete you jump, dash, dodge and walljump your way through the game. Grab those power-ups before your enemy does, plant the bomb before anyone sees you, and steal the enemy's flag before anyone knows what's going on! A handful of popular gametypes come shipped with Warsow, like Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Clan Arena, Instagib and Duel. Warsow invites you to add to this list, by creating your own custom gametypes with the brand new gametype scripting system! Please post all support issues in the forums for the game.
The game feels very Quake 3 like in it's fast paced action, and the art style is just STUNNING. However, for an Australian like myself I haven't had much luck so far in relation to local servers having anyone on them. I'm hoping that will be better at later times in the day.
ok game if you like jumping
I'm not FPS's fan, but this game's quite good.
I used to play this game all of the time, until they ruined it by taking out the blood and gore effects and added cartoony explosions. kind of fast paced.

No 'shemozzle', but Gonski post raises governance questions
- Share
In a piece on the Future Fund on Wednesday I was prematurely positive about Peter Costello not entering into the public arena with complaints about the board selection process.
He let fly on the ABC's 7.30 last night. He called the process that has led to the appointment of David Gonski as chair of the Future Fund board of guardians "a shemozzle" and that it was not good corporate practice.
Whether or not it was good practice is a matter for judgment.
Should a person who advises shareholders on board composition be ruled ineligible for appointment to that board? The public record is silent. There is no guidance in the Australian Stock Exchange corporate governance guidelines, or the OECD guidelines on corporate governance on whether or not this is good practice. Sometimes it happens.
Should a chair of a board be chosen from among internal candidates? That is much more common, but not essential. It can lead to inward looking and complacent boards.
Executive search processes can aid such complacency. Boards will conduct a national or international search for a candidate for chair or CEO, and following the search, to amazing fanfare, they announce that the best candidate was sitting under their noses all along. That kind of vanity searching is as bad as vanity publishing. Better corporate practice is that a search is done when a board is serious about getting in someone new.
What is undeniably poor governance practice though is when board members speak out in public against their board chair.
It will be hard for the Future Fund board to work in a cohesive fashion in the face of such public division.
There have been two strands of comment about the Future Fund appointment process: that it should be more open and transparent, and that it should be more like the corporate sector. These two are inconsistent.
Appointments to large corporate boards are anything but transparent. They are done behind closed doors, with no publicity until the favoured candidate emerges.
At the extremes, some companies still cling to the English tradition of board selection by what private school and university a candidate attended, how they behaved in the rugby locker room, and the gentleman's club they belong to. That is clearly poor governance, and something professional bodies such as the Australian Institute of Company Directors have been aiming to overcome.
There are good practices in selection of a good range of skilled directors who can represent the interest of the shareholders. The problem in the public sector is that the shareholder or owner interest is represented by the government of the day. We can't complain — that's how democracy works. But it does mean the government will be criticised by the opposition for any decisions, and there will be a dispute about how well the interests of citizens are represented.
In the public sector, therefore, there is a case for greater transparency and an arms-length selection process. Professor Meredith Edwards argued for this in yesterday's edition of The Australian Financial Review.
Her solution would include an impartial panel, with departures from the panel recommendations to be tabled in a parliament. It is not a complete answer (who selects the selectors?) but better than what we have now.
The outburst from Costello is hard to understand. It is not going to change the outcome of the selection process, but will add to tension in the board. A divided board is a less effective board. It is a good thing the Future Fund has effective and competent management, or we would be really worried.
Maybe he was egged on by his former colleagues who are still in politics. Perhaps he was just caught up in the moment.
All one can surmise from the public record is that Costello felt some sort of entitlement. He said last night "… the Future Fund was something that I conceived, I legislated it and I put every dollar of capital into it — every dollar".
That is an overstatement. The advisers in his office, the officials in Treasury, his colleagues in Cabinet, and the Coalition members who voted for it also had a hand in creating the fund. The capital came not from Costello's pocket but from taxpayers. He should take credit for his surpluses and is entitled to do so. Remember though that a surplus comes about only because the tax revenue we pay to government exceeds its spending.
It is also a rather tricky argument to suggest that because a politician thinks up a fund — or any other government body for that matter — they become the right person to look after it.
That would create a perverse incentive for ministers to set up high-profile independent bodies as often as possible, in the expectation of being appointed to their boards.
Some jurisdictions, such as the USA, go so far as to prohibit cabinet members from ever being appointed to the bodies with which they had dealings while they were in the executive. There, the problem of conflict of interest and a desire to control excesses by the executive government are the prevailing governance principles.
It all shows how difficult this whole business of public sector boards is, compared with the private sector.

Why anyone wishing to appoint the best possible candidate to this position would even consider a "gutless wonder" is anybody's guess. Peter Costello has serious problems with an over-blown sense of entitlement and an unrealistic assessment of his own abilities. To hear him on the ABC's 7.30 talking about the Future Fund as his own personal property almost made me puke. Those responsible for the appointment of Mr Gonski have made a considered and wise decision not to appoint Costello. Costello is , as Paul Keating so eloquently remarked, "…all tip and no iceberg".

4seriously?Posted Friday, 16 March 2012 at 2:27 pm | Permalink
I can't believe (actually I can) that this "issue" has got the airplay it has - so Costello misses out out on getting a cushy job and we all have to hear him whinge about it. Hopefully his behavior in the past few days will deter others from ever appointing him to another role. And, as others have suggested, he should resign on principle. Anyway, the "future fund" - what a misleading title - is of little relevance to the so-called business community (who are apparently also upset about the appointment) as it is just a fund to pay the pensions for public servants.

And little Johnnie tells us Costello was our best ever treasurer. Is there no end to their self delusion?
6CleaverPosted Friday, 16 March 2012 at 2:54 pm | Permalink
Costello is too desperate. That alone is a good reason to drop him. The bigger question is how desperate was Gonski? He would have known very well that this would kick up a stink and he must have had an inkling of what was going down when he was asked to "review" but not recommend.
Gonski hasn't actually had much luck with board seats. He got Coke from his mate Dean Wills, a cushy in-house sort of gig. He got ASX because no-one really wanted it. He failed to get ANZ, which he sorely wanted. And he turned up on Therese Rein's company board - how weird is that?? Kinda like the Eddie McGuire of the corporate world, but not really a big player. Makes you wonder about the FF, which appears already to have a heavy load of wood ducks.

Peter Costello is destabilising and damaging the reputation of the Board of the Future Fund with the help of his old mates in politics. The Government of the day appoints board members and the Chairman, not the current board members. Mr Costello doesn't like the choice - fair enough. So he has a choice - shut up and work with his fellow board members to manage the fund, or if he wants to play politics, resign and go for it.

Peter Costello was an embarrassment to all of us on 7.30 Report last night. He should now resign from the Board of the Future Fund and give Gonski the chance to unite the rest of the Board.
Costello's lack of entitlement for the position is evidenced by the dearth of job offers from the corporate section since his cowardice in not staying to fight for his beloved Liberal Party as LOTO.
Good economic manager? Not in the eyes of many in the financial world.

Geez that's a big call Cleaver. If Gonski isn't a big player, who exactly does
meet the criteria to be gifted the title by you?
As for Costello, he surely must resign.
He is an embarassment.

I actually used to have some respect for Costello many moons ago. Thought he had the right stuff as they say. But over time I realised that my judgement was clouded by my loathing of how Howard made the Liberal Party and Australia look and how desperate I was for someone to come along and save us. Over time he kept squibbing the big decisions and whining about it, blaming everyone except himself.
Last night just reinforced why he wasn't and shouldn't have been chosen - what a great big dummy spit.
That Howard and co have come out and backed him screams loudest.

Unless you posted at 3.00 pm then you can whinge about anything.
Pete, like Beezer so rightly pointed out all those years ago, you're fundamentally, a sook.

Never thought I'd see the day when I'd ever agree with anything Nick Minchin had to say, but I think his comment, that appointing a retired politician would politicise the Fund - not a good idea.
Fact is, this is not a Coalition Govt, and retired Coalition politicians haven't done too badly out of the Labor Govt. Would a Coalition appoint a retired Labor person? I don't think so!
Costello is just as repugnant to me as ever - his arrogance and ego would fill my house - not a pretty sight! It may have helped his position if he or any of his whinging mates said, that it was OUR money that went into the Future Fund. It didn't just materialise out of his 'good' job as Treasurer! They start believing their own bs don't they?
The Labor Govt had the right to appoint who THEY saw fit. Everyone else is bellyaching! They should get over themselves and move on! And this goes for Howard too. I'm not the tiniest bit interested in anything he or his colleagues have to say - about anything at all!

If, as the OO claims, bigbiz is upset at Costello not being appointed, then is it not passing strange that so talented, & in demand, an expollie has not been snapped up by the aforesaid big bellied end of town?
He pimped his sorry arse up & down Corporate Ave from the day the Rodent lost office (and probably long before) and not one of those sheltered hospices for distressed, relevance deprived ex lackies offered him the price of a cup of coffee.
And why would they? He'd served them well and good riddance.

And don't forget Liz that while that money was going into the future fund, it wasn't going into superannuation funds to pay for retirements and reduce the bill for pensions. The libs have taken money out of workers pockets and now dodgy Pete thinks that it was his money to play with

Surely Gonski has at least a perceived conflict of interest, in having
conducted a review relating to a position, then accepting it himself.
But conflicts of interest are so last century, aren't they? No one apparently worries about them anymore. In this environment, no longer the endangered species, conflicts of interest flourish. Why, you often see them, feeding on the plentiful grasses of the public sector. Someone should conduct sightseeing tours.
19CleaverPosted Saturday, 17 March 2012 at 3:07 pm | Permalink
Just making the point Dog's Breakfast. Gonski is not generally picked for board seats and certainly not chair roles in the big instances. He gets these things - not first tier gigs - through his favours and network. He is replacing a bloke who on the evidence of his current cv is unwanted in corporate board rooms. So there is consistency.
I suppose it's unlikely with public sector roles but one would hope that the FF might get a genuine chair of substance.
20Posted Saturday, 17 March 2012 at 3:32 pm | Permalink
I disagree with Bartos' concluding statement that the membership of public sector boards is more difficult to manage than the membership of private sector boards. As Stephen Mayne would be quick to remind us, private sector boards are riddled with conflicts of interest, collectively they have caused their own and executives' pay to spiral out of all reason and they often don't act in the shareholders' interest due to what is known as the principal-agent problem. Some of these problems are also shared by public sector boards, but others are solved or avoided by government regulation or policy decision.

Actually I need even more: 3 columns to select any in a triplet by another in a triplet (individual values will never be met more than once in the entire map). But a 2-column bidirectional map can help too.
