To confirm the negative reviews, it's an asymmetric tent that pitches freestanding with one corner that sits a bit off the ground. I'm not sure why this is such a deal breaker, but if you have a strong aversion to using tent stakes (which immediately fix the problem), I recommend buying a much cheaper and heavier tent that is less likely to blow away and will not be missed when it does. Additionally, the tent tapers strongly at your feet, giving it a significantly less cavernous feel. For backpackers and adventurers, this is its best asset. For fair weather car campers, it's probably pretty obnoxious.
Okay, now for a review. I've loved this tent from day one. It's big enough for two if you really like the other person, as it should be with an ultralight two person tent (if it had cavernous spaces and we could sleep with a large buffer between us, that would add a lot of unnecessary weight). It's well-ventilated with the rain fly on (and when it's been properly guyed out I've never had so much as a drop of condensation fall on me), and it's nearly all mesh for some great views with the fly off. The tent looks sharp, and I actually quite like the bright orange of the fly for solo camping. I feel like if something ever went wrong it could help get me found, though I hope I never have to use it like that.
Those are all the reasons I loved it up until I got hit by a massive thunderstorm in it--one of those blood red on the radar things with tornadoes, quarter-sized hail, and rain coming down sideways with 50 mile-per-hour gusts. I set up camp, pointed that "too-narrow" aerodynamic footbox that others complained about directly into the wind, climbed in, and prepared to get soaked. Thanks to that shape, despite the Armageddon outside, I stayed warm, dry, and safe inside. I had no problems with anything flapping in the wind, no rain came in, and the fly held up to hail and winds just shy of hurricane-force. And it did it at under two pounds a person.
Oh yeah, and the whole thing pitches in under a minute once you get used to it, thanks to a single, hubbed pole and clips on the tent body.
Great review HGC!
Can't Say Enough
This tent has seen the world and has taken just about every kind of weather nature can dish out and has never failed. The tent is ridiculously light at under 2 pounds per person and extremely weather proof. I went camping in the Redwoods and it poured one night, turning our campsite into a 2" deep puddle. No water in the tent. It did great in extreme wind in Ireland and it did great in the heat of the Gobi Desert. The thing pitches extremely quickly as well. When I went camping with some friends I pitched this by myself while the three of them were still trying to get their poles out. There isn't really much I can complain about aside from two little cosmetic things. First, as some have mentioned, it pitches so that one corner is slightly elevated off the ground. However, after staking it down and putting your sleeping bag and everything inside there is no problem. Also, the color is pretty bright. It would be great if someone was trying to find you, say in a rescue situation. However, I've been in some countries were it is best to set up out of site, making the bright color somewhat dangerous. This is not something most people would have to think about though. I've slept in a variety of high quality tents from quite a few brands but this one takes the cake. I highly recommend this tent
Backpacking in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia
won't pitch taut
I took this on a two week kayaking trip in the Broughton Archipelago. We were there in mid June and had the campsites pretty much to ourselves so I was able to use the flattest best tent sites available. Every evening I would constantly readjust the stakes trying to get the fly to pitch taut around the door. I had read that other users had that problem and thought they were just "challenged" when it came to tent pitching. They were right, there is something about the cut of this tent that defies equal tension on the fly. It was dry in downpour conditions and had no measurable condensation and seemed to retain heat sufficiently on cold mornings and overall appears to be quality constructed but the fly is not SilNylon. At least not like any of the other SilNylon tarps and tent flys I own and so doesn't pack down as small as it might. I was looking to upgrade to a freestanding state of the art tent but am taking BC.com up on their satisfaction guarantee and returning it and will try a MSR HUBBA HUBBA

depends on your needs
I like hiking alone a fair amount. I took this tent to Peru and did several overnight hiking/camping trips in the Andes alone. Yes, almost 4 lbs. is a lot for one person, but its also the lightest of its class. I wanted room to keep things in the tent and in the vestibule. I would bring my pack in the tent and the "small" vestibule was plenty for boots and wet things. I could also fit my pack in the vestibule if I wanted.
When doing continuous overnighters, whether in a back yard or in the wilderness, sometimes it is nice to have the extra space for comfort, changing, etc.
The quality seems very nice to me, breathability is great, yet it keeps heat in well also. I can also set this tent up pretty fast.
My only downside is that its bright Orange, and especially when I am hiking alone, I don't like sticking on like a soar thumb. It would be great if the rain fly were green or any earth tone.
This tent has never pissed me off in its weather-protection, setting up process, or packing down. I love it for myself, but the greatest part is... I can use it with a whole-nother person if necessary.
Light-weight for size and strength.
*SORE thumb. Not soar thumb. Your thumb is not flying.
Good job on actually writing out "whole-nother." I don't think I've ever seen that one in print.
DB Mirage
Camping in Death Valley
Don't you mean BD?
I like black diamond as a company and most of their stuff is great, but the mirage seems to need a second, updated, version. Manufacturing quality is a little lacking considering the price. Just like the other reviewer, I set it up inside first because I was too excited to go outside right away, and it didn't sit level. Stakes remedy this, but disappointing non the less. The fly is difficult to get right even after setting up the tent a bunch of times to get good at it. You can get the whole thing taut and then the door flaps in the wind, you can fix that and something else flaps. The fly clips to the body with little adjustable plastic pinch clips like you find on your backpack's hipbelt. This is cool, but if you step on those little lightweight things they might break, and they provide too much adjustability i.e. inconsistency. I think the shape of the tent is it's downfall. A good idea but it would be hard to make right without the tent being more expensive than it is, so considering this, black diamond did a good job. The main reason I am disappointed in this tent is the vestibule space. Being able to set your stuff out of the way of the door is a good idea if there is enough room to set your stuff there in the first place. The fly is so close to the tent in the vestibule there might as well not even be one. If you use this tent by yourself and only by yourself, there shouldn't be any problem. You could put everything inside with you in that case, but if is wet/muddy/dirty the inside of your tent will be too, causing it to not last as long. I could fit my size 13 boots and cooking stuff for the morning in the vestibule and that's it. With the door situated how it is one person still has to crawl over the other to take a piss. Minor annoyance, but an annoyance still. As for interior space, for one person it is perfect. For two it's tight but very doable, but you have to put your gear outside in the rain. There seems to be a lot of wasted space because of all the corners. Not very efficient. As for condensation, this tent excels. Air circulation is great, so if you hate condensation and you would buy anything so long as it does not have any condensation problems, this tent is great. Mild weather can't get through this tent either. I had it at 11,000ft. in rain and on top of snow at the same time, and it was fine. Just don't expect it to be perfect for every weather situation. I wish the fly came all the way to the ground, or at least closer to the ground. There are vents built into the fly so I don't see why there needs to be tons more ventilation by making the fly short. So, basically, I was not happy with this tent, I will be returning it to rei and buying something different, probably spending more, but if you are looking at this like a solo tent, I would recommend it to you. Especially for warm weather use.
Bummed, I ordered this tent and set it up inside. Not sure if the tent was incorrectly cut??? but it wouldn't sit flat on the ground the nose was all tweaked back in on the the tent and the left front corner was about 4 inches off the ground. It took 3 people to pull it out flat. I put the fly on and it got even worse. Didn't feel very stable at all. With 2 people inside you were very cozy not much extra room, wouldn't want to be rained in for a day. Set up a MSR Hubba Hubba tent right next to it and this tent was way more stable and felt almost cavernous compared the mirage.
Why does everyone keep comparing it to the hubba hubba? not even made by the same company!?
No problem with rain.
This tent was used in heavy Colorado rain and the 2 wall design worked flawlessly. People in other brand tents were complaining while I was bone dry. The vestibule caused absolutely no problem with rain coming 'into' the tent. This simply was not an issue. Actually, it may be one of the better tents out there for heavy rain conditions because of the stout fly design. Since the fly can be easily made tight there is no chance of the fly and the inner wall ever hitting. The 'backpack' type snaps and closures make this a fool proof design for any rain situation.
Best All-Around-Lightweight-Tent Around.
I needed a lightweight tent for high altitude adventures that would fit myself, my dog, and my gear. In a newer, thought out design. This tent could not fit the bill more. Not only does it have these really cool hubs that help set it up extra fast but it also has that added vestibule area that is just perfect for housing your gear. Or your dog if he is too dirty to come inside. And it doesn't even weigh 4lbs. Replace the steel tent spikes it comes with for some MSR or Bibler titanium ones and you will even lose some more weight. Oh, did I mention all 3 poles are connected, all the time, even when you stash them. Doesn't that kinda mean it is more like 1 pole? Considering you cannot take it apart into 3 pieces. But yes, the tent poles are already connected to make setup even more intuitive. This is by far the best tent for that purpose on the market. And it looks cool too. If you are just buying it because you like the way it looks then it will probably piss you off but hey, that's not really my problem. 5 stars! What is wrong with this tent? I set the fly up correctly and had no problems stuffing all the gear out of my pack in the vestibule, plus my pack, as well as some misc. items with room to spare. My 120lb dog and myself fit fine inside the tent, and Im sure there was room for another person. If you want elbow room for 2 people you should always get a 3 person tent. The door is actually quite large for any alpine oriented tent designed lower than usual to handle high wind, and I especially had no problems getting in or out of the tent seeing it was a once piece mesh door. Most of my other tents like Bibler tents have 2 doors to unzip before you get out and you should see how tiny those doors are! Overall, there is no design problem with this tent. The style of the tent dictates that it's not going to be ideal for some huge guy car camping. I'm surprised this tent does not have more 5 star ratings. I'm sure when people see my review they may give this tent another look. Unless of course you are not into 1 person 5 star luxury :)
Black Diamond Mirage
As ultralight tents go, the Mirage is a nice tent. The materials are great, and quality appears to be high; however, it is not up to the design expectations of any tent in this price range. The most surprising information is the interior floor space is 26.5 sq ft, not the 30 sq ft every site in the world advertises. That makes the tent a very tight fit for two normal adults. Two 6 footers might have room for one pair of boots in the tent with them. The single door is a nice size, but with the fly/vestibule set up, the tent door and vestibule door are mere inches apart, and the usable space of the 10sq ft vestibule is mostly out of reach from the door. The vestibule is large enough for a couple pairs of boots and a pack, or two small packs, if you can reach around to get them there. I have not used the tent in rainy weather, but can tell it would be fraught with problems. If rain is coming down, water will get in the tent if anyone enters or exits, and even the small side access to the vestibule would make it difficult to get stuff in and out of packs. Anything in the vestibule will probably get wet if needed when it is raining. The fly vents are a nice touch, but cannot be closed, so great ventilation will happen at any temperature. As a two man tent the Mirage is very disappointing mainly because of the practically unusable vestibule. There are lighter, bigger, better designs available for less money. As a one man shelter it would be adequate (though heavy), though would still be iffy in rainy weather. In fair weather camping, this would be a decent tent. Personally, I would rather have one of the several currently available roomier tents with better design that weighs about the same.

Hi you all
Do you know if I pick up the fly with the footprint first. can I then from the inside assembly the inner tent so the inner tent will be dry under heavy rain?
Hey Guy,
Kinda sorta. The pole ends go into the shell grommets first, then the fly straps go under those. The pole clips are hard to get at once the fly is on, and you end up crawling all over your mesh, and it's then covered in mud and water. I've done it with other fast-pitch type tents before, but it's slow, a pain in the ass, and everything ends up wet anyhow. In heavy rain, when you need a dry shelter quickly, it's best to just use the fast-pitch option and deal with the shell when the weather improves and bugs become the bigger problem.
Is the fly on the Mirage seam sealed?

What's the truth about the actual interior size? One reviewer says it's NOT 30 sq ft, but less. Same reviewer also says the vestibule is basically unusable (i.e., unreachable) from inside the tent. What's up?
The vestibule was set up to store gear out of the doorway and does that well but it's not totally reachable from inside. For two people you would be very cozy not much room for anything extra inside with you... not sure of the actual sq ft but the hubba hubba @ 30sq ft was cavernous compared
Yes it is 30sq...but the legs have not a lot of room and the head have more room...i hope the Technical drawing help

Cancer Care Close to Home
Cathy Nash, of Bemidji, had routine mammograms like every woman is encouraged to do after the age of 40. But a digital mammogram in July 2010 revealed some microcalcification, so she elected to do follow-up digital mammograms every six months for two years.
"But my last one showed it had spread significantly," she said.
A biopsy confirmed she had breast cancer. A lumpectomy and additional surgery was followed by chemotherapy every three weeks for three months, radiation every weekday for a month, and some physical therapy, all at Sanford Bemidji. Nash said seeking treatment at Sanford Bemidji eased some stress being close to home.
"A lot of times with my chemo I was so nauseated and fatigued, I know it would have been very hard to have had to travel," she said. "Plus, it would have meant taking more time off for both my husband and me from work." It also allowed Nash to be near her support system of friends and family.
"My whole family is here in the Bemidji area and it was so great to have them help me out when I needed it," Nash said. "It gave my husband a break from caring for me when I was at my weakest and most needy times."
It was a painful journey, but Nash celebrated in June 2013 when her doctor called to share good news: her latest mammogram was normal. "I cried tears of happiness," she said. "I will always worry, but I know everything I went through was worth it. I'm only 52 and have kids and grandkids who I want to be around for many years to come."
Nash said the medical team at the Sanford Bemidji Cancer Center, who guided her through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and physical therapy were all helpful, compassionate and professional.
"When I had trouble in chemotherapy, I found I needed more fluids because it drained me too much," she said. "On the second day of chemo, the staff had IV fluid replacement waiting for me. They are just very good to work with and they make it very individualized." Shari Hahn, Director of Cancer Services at Sanford Bemidji Medical Center, said more than 350 patients are treated for cancer in Bemidji each year and every patient has different needs. The staff uses a variety of resources, programs and services to accommodate each of the needs and, at the same time, strives to develop and expand them.
"We serve a large population and we want to provide the best services as close to home as possible," Hahn said. Donors to Sanford Bemidji Cancer Center help ensure patients have access to cutting-edge diagnostics and life-saving treatment, and that the medical team can receive advanced training and education. That means the very best care is available right here, in the Bemidji region. Nash's cancer journey inspired her to want to support other breast cancer patients.
"After experiencing cancer and undergoing treatment, I've come to realize how important it is to support the well-being of a cancer patient," Nash said.

Rise in flu cases leads to new visitation policy at CHS facilities
Carolinas Healthcare System has restricted its visitation policy in all its in-patient care facilities in the greater Charlotte area in response to heightened risk of influenza.
Visitations by children younger than 12 years of age is restricted entry to all in-patient hospitals, while previously the restriction had only applied to neonatal and pediatric intensive care units.
"We had been monitoring the flu situation for a while," said Kevin McCarthy, communications staff member with Carolina HealthCare System. "And because it had started so quickly and we were starting to see so many cases a lot earlier than we usually do, we felt it was an appropriate step to take."
In order to hinder the spread of flu further, CHS is also requesting that anyone experiencing flu-like symptoms not to visit anyone in the hospital.

Average Customer Review: based on 1 reviews.Rating: Aqua Lung Infinity Mask Review - Scuba Gear Customer Reviews
Would I be better off with a mask like this or with a mask that has the go pro attachment? I have the go pro camera. I also wanted to ask if having a dive light helps during the day as well to see the colors more vividly?
Hello Ian, if you are looking to mount the GoPro to your mask then yes you would need a mask that has the mounting bracket to attach the mask or go with the head mount kit for the GoPro: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-540/168347/Gopro-Head-Strap-Mount-and-QuickClip.html. As for the lighting yes it would help.
The close-to-the-eyes frame design produces a mask with a low profile and an excellent view upwards and downwards
Three colors are used on the main frame for a stylish look
The side lens is made of an optical quality polymer and offers brighter vision and increased side light
Cardanic joint buckles (double joint buckles) rotate both up-and-down and in-and-out
Quick counterposed push button activation is easy to use even when wearing gloves
Wide headpiece on silicone strap provides stability and comfort
Mask Care and Maintenance
Care Before the Dive:
During the manufacturing process, a thin film of silicone will develop on the glass lens. This film of silicone will cause rapid fogging that is resistant to conventional anti-fog measures. It is important to remove this film of silicone from the lens prior to your first dive. To remove the film you will need to scrub the lens inside and out with a mild abrasive. A paste toothpaste is ideal but a liquid scrub will also work. Rub the cleanser into the lens with your fingers several times and then rinse clean thoroughly.
Mask fogging is a normal occurrence, even after the film of silicone has been removed. Normal fogging can be easily prevented with after market anti-fog agents or saliva. Rub onto the lens and then rinse. Your dive will now be fog free!
Some after after-market anti-fog agents contain formaldehyde, alcohol, or other substances that may damage the plastic materials used in your mask. If unsure, avoid prolonged exposure of the anti-fog agent with the plastic parts of your mask.
Care During the Dive:
When entering the water either from a boat or a beach, place a hand over the lens of your dive mask and hold it securely in place. This will help ensure your mask stays in place during entry and will help deflect any direct impact of water on the lens caused by the jump into the water or any approaching waves.
A typical dive staging area is a dangerous place for dive masks. Care should be taken to not leave your mask in a location where it might be exposed to dropping weight belts or tanks.
It is best to avoid putting your mask on your forehead at any time during the dive. Several factors can cause the mask on your forehead to be dislodged and subsequently lost. If you want to temporarily remove the mask from your face, place the mask around your neck.
Care After the Dive:
Soak in warm fresh water (not over 120°F) to dissolve salt crystals.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and towel dry before final storage.
Store in a cool, dry and protected place out of direct sunlight.
Store separated from other dive gear as the black pigmentation of other equipment may discolor the clear silicone skirt of your mask.
Avoid any contact with alcohol, oil, gasoline, aerosols, or chemical solvents.
Do not expose any part to aerosol spray, as some aerosol propellants attack or degrade rubber and plastic materials.
Do not use any type of alcohol, solvent or petroleum based substances to clean or lubricate any part.
Do not store your equipment near any oil, gasoline, chemicals, or solvents.

2006 Mooneyes Xmas Party - Moon Over SoCal - Expanded Web CoverageWritten by on February 27, 2007 Contributors: Tim Bernsau The 2006 Mooneyes Xmas Party
The Christmas season is all about tradition: smooching under the mistletoe, sipping creamy eggnog, and trolling for parking at the local shopping galleria.
In Southern California, fans of traditional rods and customs have developed a bit of holiday tradition of their own. Every year in early December, they scrub the whitewalls on their rides, dust off the primer, and motor on over to the Mooneyes Xmas Party and car show.
Like any holiday tradition, this one has evolved a bit through the years. It began as the Rat Fink Reunion, an annual party honoring Ed "Big Daddy" Roth (who always showed up to help host) and the kustom kulture he helped spawn. The focus of those early reunions, held at Moon headquarters in Santa Fe Springs, was Fink-inspired art and the artists who were carrying the torch Roth lit. By the turn of the century, the reunions were attracting a couple hundred traditional rods and customs-enough to overflow the Moon parking lot and clog the surrounding streets.
After Roth passed away in 2001, the reunion morphed into the Mooneyes Xmas Party and continued growing. It quickly outgrew its first venue-the Whittier Elks Lodge-and moved to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Academy (more than a little irony there, eh?) for several years. This past December 9, the ever-expanding primer 'n' pinstripe festival moved to its largest venue yet: Irwindale Speedway.
The location wasn't the only new twist for the 2006 bash. For the first time, the show included eighth-mile drag racing for anyone who wanted to run (provided their car could pass tech). There was also a retro-style, burlesque-themed pinup girl contest to help keep the holiday spirit, um, warm. This was in addition to a great lineup of rockabilly bands and the usual assortment of artists like Robert Williams, Keith Weesner, Dennis McPhail, Jimmy C, Von Franco, Pizz, and others.
Rod and custom fans responded by making the '06 party the biggest in Mooneyes history, with more than 800 cars and an estimated 4,000 spectators on hand. The expansion came with a few growing pains, however. It seemed like the once-prominent artists, pinstripers, and vendors were no longer the center of attention, which definitely impacted the show's character. And while the drag racing was cool, most of the cars running were Mustangs, Camaros, and the like; we would've loved to see more rod and custom owners take a stab at the 'strip.
Despite our gripes, though, the Mooneyes Xmas Party remains one of the coolest events on the rodding calendar. It's a tradition that's well worth continuing, and one we look forward to every December. Check out the photos and you'll see why.

I've been watching my LDAP servers for sometime now. It seems to me that after a period of time the LDAP replication stops. If I restart my backup LDAP server then all the information is replicated properly and it will continue that way for awhile, but say within 24 hours I make a change that change will not appear on the backup LDAP server until I restart the process. With not being very familiar with LDAP Im not sure where to start troubleshooting. I have seen nothing obvious in the logs. And there are no errors on startup of LDAP.
Thanks in advanced.

Corrections House -- Austin, TX -- February 9th, 2013
"It's not metal, it's not rock and roll, it's not anything you're used to. You'll just have to wait and see what we're like."
-Mike IX
The above quote summarizes the night very well. Experimental only begins to describe what these guys were like live. The night started with me entering the Red 7 and greeting Mike, who immediately identified me (I go to every EHG related thing in Austin, plus his IX is tattooed on my arm, so it's safe to say he knows who I am) and greeted me in return, telling me about how he had no idea what emergency caused Eyehategod to drop off the Neurosis show, how he planned to do some stuff with them after Corrections House is done touring and recording, and just other stuff - all to the sound of Black Flag's "My War" and the Melvins' "Gluey Porch Treatments" albums in the background.
We kept talking until smearCampaign greeted me, and I started talking to him about various subjects (1990's bands, stupid shit that happened at shows, and so on) until Skycrawler went on. The only way I can think of describing them is Sunn O))) crossed with the Melvins (Lysol, specifically) and a touch of Eyehategod's "Blank". They started up and didn't stop until the end of their thirty minute set. I actually dug the shit out of them, so...yeah.
I kept talking to smear and convinced him to buy a copy of Mike's poetry book, "Cancer as a Social Activity" and get him to sign it (which they both did), and I told Mike that since I had a shitty disposable camera that if he wanted, I could photograph the show and send him the pictures. He agreed, and he gave me an email address to send it to when I got them developed.
Finally, Corrections House went on. Since the set has to be seen to be truly experienced, I'll do the best I can to describe it. Sanford Parker started the show abruptly with an industrial drum beat and samples lasting about seven minutes or so, followed by Scott Kelly's guitar riffs (which changed sound from traditional guitar to piano at a moment's notice), Bruce Lamont's saxophone, and Mike grabbed his drink, his poetry book with Post-It tabs marking pages in it, a handful of notebooks, and papers with handwritten lyrics on it and started to do his spoken word thing.
At various times during the set, two members would step back and let the other two collaborate on a piece. For example, Bruce would record and sample the sound of amplified tin foil (no, I'm not joking, it had a fucking cord in it and everything) being slammed into the floor, scraped across the monitor, and let the audience scream into the microphone to sample it as well, and Scott would play feedback or some chords over it, or Mike reading from his book while Sanford would play on a drum machine. Eventually, they all got together and played Hoax the System, which was highlighted by an audience member grabbing a Corrections House banner and marching around the venue with it and Bruce running into the audience and grabbing random people to scream with him, followed by bringing out a semi-burned Bible, ripping it up, and throwing it into the audience. I grabbed a chunk, got it autographed by Bruce...and later lost it at the bar.
After the show, I wound up talking to Scott, who apologized for throwing water at me to get me to stop taking pictures and gave me two picks as a gift. I then got Bruce to sign my aforementioned Bible chunk and complimented him on his Led Zeppelin 2 performance; he loved that I told him that he sounded exactly like Robert Plant and that I put the sticker on my wallet, and Mike told me about how he opened for GG Allin (he got up and sang backup with Merle's microphone, Merle pushed him, and GG threw a cymbal at him, which split his lower lip open down to his chin - he later mentioned that he said he was glad that he never paid money to see GG Allin), which led to me jokingly asking when the autobiography is coming out, and he said that he wants to. "We've been around for twenty-five years and I have a bunch of pictures, but I can't find a publishing company, someone to organize something, and enough money for it."
I then promised him that I'd help him with the book, even if it was expensive, and even if I didn't, I told him that I'd be willing to work for him if he wanted. He thanked me, and shortly after that, smear left to go home and I left to check out the "blasphemous Mardi Gras" (as Mike put it) before I went home.
Overall, this was a fun night, and I highly recommend Corrections House to anyone who is a fan of any of the artists in the group. You won't regret it.

Yeah this group is WEIRD!!!! I saw a video for the first song they released. Pretty cool buncha members in the band though.
This group is kind of a dream team for me. They really need to come to LA sooner rather than later.
RampinUp46's review summed up everything about the night quite well. It was an awesome performance IMO. If you are in any of the cities they perform and enjoy any type of industrial/noise you need to go to see these guys.
I really wanted to see this, sadly Ft. Smith Arkansas was the closest to me and that is not a short drive as it is. Hopefully they will still come around fairly soon at some point.

Washington, D.C. (WUSA) - From a sushi restaurant in Bethesda to a white table cloth restaurant in DuPont Circle, violations ranging from mice to no hot water temporarily closed five Washington area restaurants.
In Temple Hills, Md., a complaint alleging both roaches and mice prompted investigators to inspect Seafood Palace Buffet, 3745 Branch Avenue.
The manager showed us steps Seafood Palace is taking to fight vermin, like sealing doors more tightly.
In addition to roaches in the ceiling lights fixtures, inspectors cited roaches under the buffet, in the sushi area, and mice infestations at all the dining room steam tables.
The manager called in a pest service and has moved rodent food sources to higher shelves.
Bathroom storage of food equipment and mice close Bethesda sushi restaurant
In Bethesda, at Hanaro on Norfolk Avenue, inspectors found food equipment stored in the bathroom
Officials also cited mice droppings on a cutting board, dishes, pots and pans, and in the sushi section.
Silver Spring restaurant suspended for contamination
In Silver Spring, the owner of Yasi, 9441 Georgia Avenue, blamed vandalism on a leak into his kitchen inspectors say endangered public health.
The manager said the leak never touched the restaurant's food, but the health department says it not only contacted the food, but contaminated it.
He believes a neighbor angry about the restaurant's noise caused the damage that caused the leak.
Wendy's in Silver Spring cited for no hot water
At a Silver Spring Wendy's, 17 Vital Way, inspectors cited the store for operating without a food safety manager and without hot water.
DuPont Circle white table cloth restaurant owner on health hazard closure: "Nothing to defend."
At La Tomate 1701 Connecticut Ave., near DuPont Circle inspectors cited an imminent health hazard and temporarily closed the popular Italian restaurant
The District's health department says La Tomate's hot water tested at only 80 degrees and unsafe.
When WUSA9 requested an interview, Lat Tomate's owner told a producer she had "nothing to defend" and declined.
All the restaurants passed re-inspection and are back in business.

Born: 12/16/1963
Birth Place: San Francisco, California, USA
Bratt was born Dec. 16, 1963. His paternal grandfather was Broadway actor George Bratt, but the grandson was raised in San Francisco, CA, mainly by his mother, a Peruvian-born nurse and Native American activist. His metalworker father was less a figure in Bratt's younger days, though he was the one who encouraged his son to try out for a school play at Lowell High School where Bratt was a member of the forensic society. It was not until attending UC Santa Barbara, that he began to develop a serious interest in acting. He was cast in his first television gig while studying at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, cutting his masters program short to act full-time. His first two ... Continue Bio >>

I'm using ZDesktop 7.1.2 on ubuntu 11.10 64 bit.
I set up with MS Exchange server 2010 using Exchange IMAP protocol.
I occasionally have a problem of ZDesktop saying there are unread e-mails in my Inbox, e.g. showing Inbox(3) on both the window title and Inbox name, although there is absolutely NO new emails when I directly log on to the web mail management.
This disappears when I "reset" the whole mailbox, but I'm very tired of doing it as it happened almost every week.
I uploaded the log file: (It will be deleted after 2 weeks.)
Could you please fix this error as soon as possible? Thanks!

"There's a new housing estate outside a Queensland mining town substantially owned by geared SMSFs thanks to the diligence and sales drive of real estate spruikers.
The value of the housing has fallen by 30 to 40 per cent and rents are plummeting as well."
Housing boom!
"In a couple of years, especially in areas like Docklands, the CBD and Southbank, where there are 300 to 500 multi-storey apartment projects, there is huge supply coming, which will be increasingly difficult to fill."
Housing boom!

AORDs heading towards 5600 full-steam
Resources were the main driver of the market today, but with the AUD up a lot as well most of the gains in commodities would have been offset.
The rest of Asia was fairly flat.
Look for more weakness tomorrow.
Too the moon tomorrow!
DOW in rising wedge - nearing top (17050) - diverging bearish RSI on this latest rally.
SP 500 also looking to confirm a diverging bearish RSI -- close below 1959 confirms.
CBA -- has been in perfect trend channel for past few months - currenlty resting on the lower line and has had a few bounces of it -- needs a close below 81 .
added to positions:
CAJ +2000 @ 44c
MGX +2000 @ 71c
NEA +2000 @ 43.5c
nice i added to CAJ on friday at 44c. not much volume today. hopefully the quiet before the storm.
BSB, with that last trade, and assuming your brokerage is $20, that's about 4% of the cost. Is it worth it when brokerage is that high a percentage?
@gareth mopped up free $ in trade acc and adding to a position of 5500 shares =$1.73 already so overall with divd at 6% im not phased by brokerage in the big picture.
Comment @2.05 pm - Padbury Mining
Looks like the dodgy brothers are up to their usual tricks in Geraldton, WA.
Many self made millionaires with influence who love a punt in this region.
Will not be surprised to see another big run on Padbury, only to die a natural death.
This Oakajee Port has been on the drawing board since Adam was a boy, think I bought my first speculative shares in a related iron project in 1982.
It will never happen while I am on the planet!
yep agreed GB
short oakajee n long hydro marijuana
sounds like you know my home town very well @ mushy....
So Basfoods is "hit" with a fine of $30,600. Gee, that was worth it. Crime does pay!
Watching Sky Biz and as usual they are all telling us our market is awaiting news. We receive good news and our market goes up only to be back down to where it was an hour later. What a waste of time and breath. What's that your saying. I could have sold CBA for 12cents higher made $200.00 and paid 4000.00 tax. Fantastic.
Yep. Good news from China market goes nowhere Bad news from China mark goes down 100 points three times in the last 12 months..

Someone is working a monster BUY order on Newcrest today. Gold was off, it was sold down, then there has just been $100k to $200k buys coming one after the other all day. Resistance is futile.
Nice spot. Whats going on here panick selling or brave buying?
Looks like long term institutional buyer increasing their weighting. Not a lot of short term information signal I don't think. Once they stop the price should come back down a bit.
It's not just Newcrest and not just Australia.
Volumes are up. We'll soon find out if it's just short covering or a rally.
Central Bank money printing could be shifting to a rally in commodities as there's little growth left to squeeze out of other equities and cash strapped highly mortgaged consumers.
@1127 chart...what bout ACR?
To all CBA fans...
shame shame CBA
"The Commonwealth Bank repeatedly ignored evidence of an alleged $100 million fraud that implicated its own staff, and instead, seized the homes of victims in a bid to recoup its losses."
Property still out of control. $700k for a 1 bed, when it this market going to flatten out?!?
700k seems like an eye popping figure but because of underinvestment in public transport , especially heavy rail to the 'burbs, we have the natural consequences of our actions. If you value your time and want to save 3hrs commuting per day, ( say if you live in Galston NSW and work in the Sydney CBD ) A one bedder at that price seems like good value.. say your time is on average 100 ph that is 300 per day.. what can you buy these days that returns that.
$700K to have extraordinary views of the best harbour in the world within spitting distance of the botanic gardens and sydney beaches. good buy me thinks.
all the wealthy are buying up in sydney pushing all the poor down to melbourne.
Can someone explain to me why volumes as low as 1 share can be traded on a stock which price has not moved since open? wouldn't the brokerage fee negate this practice?
I once ended up with 1 share in RIO, still not quite sure how that happened.
Ended up having to sell it as a single share. It does happen occasionally I guess.
good question, it is common, are some traders, brokers exempt from brokerage?
it doesn't make sense to buy 1 share to me!
VWAP and POV algos slice a client order into little parcels over the course of the day. If the original client order is small and the algo isn't great, you can see 1 share slices go to market. The comms structure is different for institutional clients.
Al's trading in that stock?
you are on to it @BSB...lol
ps - nice little jump up with RIO today,
Brokerage costs can very little for brokers and high volume traders.
It is probably computer trades, just testing, testing, or exploring market price for a share.
It could be a typo, it could also be a share someone had in their portfolio after dividend investment plan went through, after they had sold their main holdings.
Two types of algos: Prop algos which try to buy and sell to make money intraday like Optiver or Quantlab, and Agency algos run by investment banks which just help the traders work orders. VWAP and POV client orders will be from super funds wanted to buy and sell without smashing the market. These agency algos are the ones that slice small quantities to market. So yes, a computer trading, but not a predatory one.
yep. very strange. 3x today 1 share has been traded and one at 42 shares at 40c?
Whats the deal with iron ore stocks? bull trap? or is this a case of they know something we don't?
did you read need to know this morning?
FMG oversold on scaredy cat emotion.....support at 3.90-95 confirmed,macds still bearish,good volume and about time for a rally....could be short lived so a short and a long position would not be unwise.
buy in around 4.15 not bad entry..was going to swap outta RIO for FMG but decided to hold for $60 north [RIO] hands tied.
Day trade play also an option if ya can pick it like the big boys.
Iron ore up over the weekend which drove the first lift this morning, but futures trading at around 11:30am for the SCI Jul 31 @ SGX is up 1.90% extra at 94.63. This is indicative that the ore price will rise again overnight, which is driving the second run up into the 4.40s.
Yep. I would be more inclined to short it from here back down. Reading the need to know section investing reactively is a real dumbass approach by the way. thanks BSB and slack, I think I wll remain bearish at this point, possibly a case of selling off too quickly, may get a decent bounce but after that its anyones guess again.
to Slack : How do you get the SCI Jul 31 figures on the SGX??
A link would be appreciated....
as dumb ass as it may be, that is indeed the answer to your question, it certainly is not the way i invest, but I wouldn't be shorting FMG at this low price either!
I subscribe to Singapore Futures data from SGX (it's available via Interactive Brokers) for a small fee a month.
On 7 June 2013, Newcrest informed the market that it would:
downgrade its forecast FY14 gold production;
write down all of the $3.8bn of goodwill on its balance sheet;
impair the carrying value of its mining operations by a total of $2.2bn; and
not declare a final dividend in FY13.
Will the corresponding downgrading by the early informed brokers hold them to account as well....surely ASIC must pursue them for using the information and more than likely changing their own positions/holding in the company prior to the 20% torpedo taken by everyone else. Be a long process and i see there's no class action against the brokers?.......aww its ok you guys are neutral parties aren't you....yeah righto.
Assets go up over time.
A nice sort of Monday just before the end of our financial year. Very impressive.
Thought I would start up and old debate. What is everyone's thoughts on elders? Have they turned the corner. Their last set of financial results showed some signs that they were.
The share price has been making a bit of noise lately as well. Anyone have any objective opinions on the stock?
I read some news articles after they announced last month some small profit and looked at graphs, etc. Their P/E is really low and very tempting. I ended up buying a relatively small amount of shares at 13.5c, so that even if they further south, I won't be hurt so badly. I think they have already hit the bottom and the most likely way is up (I hope). I think a small investment is not a bad idea. I am not sure how objective my opinion is though.
That AU$ currency play was sooo seethrough..heres the date for china pmi...ok sell it down prior then position for 1/2c kick up if pmi50 and bang another $$$$$$$$ for those in the know...wheres that nab guys ph number.....
ACR finding support level ^1.00 lately nother 10% today good volumes and still no news.....catch the falling knife,now a flying kite.
The Aussie market is too small for fundamental analysis alone.. in this day and age it is too easy to collude,.. just a chat over details in the queue for coffee is sufficient and bingo a nice little earner that ensure targets met , the proceeds into bonds , and pop the Bolly on Friday arvo.
"Tesla now most important automaker in world" - Morgan Stanley
They are on fire, so to speak. Damn those lithium batteries.
A far lower rate of fires than happens with good old combustion engine cars.
Hidden in the story ..."Going for a seachange won't make you money" is the bombshell that in "Melbourne Council area ... almost 20 per cent of house and unit re-sales generated losses.".
I guess that would mostly be those Docklands units going Kaa-BOOM. No mention if the analysis includes transaction costs, so I guess not.

I am not a short trader. but enjoy logging into my super account each week to watch it grow. USA Economy is getting Better, Europe could be better but it wont go backwards.Re- Iraq situation, well some Arab countries should be getting of their fat butts and do something .Arab league...lol
Sorry to be a killjoy, but the US economy is hardly getting better. Quarter 1 saw the economy contract. Meanwhile the debt is ticking every higher, US government debt now at 17.5 trillion with no solution for even getting the budget in balance. Moreover, real danger ahead as ever more countries and companies are switching away from the US dollar. A couple of days ago the UK and China agree to start exchanging their currencies, thus switching trade away from dollar.
Its Because the USA NOW has oil. And the Saudis are pissed off. Who is financing this ISIS?
Australian credit card debt rising again ... and so are credit card defaults.
BNO trading halt for news of a significant commercial transaction.........found a partner for sure,should help better than the last trading halt re clinical trials -40% in 30secs scenario
With EOFY fast approaching who is expecting a big rally fri/mon to get the FUM up?
Wonder how Gina will take to PE firm grabbing Ten ?
Getting increasingly worried about SBM, recent increase in gold price but another new low of 11 cents this morning. Will it survive or is it destined for the scrap heap!
This stock has burnt many. Its only reacting due to speculator activity, as soon as the IRAQ headlines die down it will smash through another floor due to panicked selling, gamble if you must, but thats all you will be doing.
Basket case status with the gold price rally and news of buying interest gathering for shiny things....its a long road down and i have looked and studied them only to watch the trend continue...what will turn it around im unsure there is a solution.
Best start to the week for a very long time!
Sunshine & smiles guys 'n gals.
Shsssssshhhhhh! Not too loud!
Friday of last week from memory down 48 points.
Some food for thought
ASX200 for FinYear July 1 2013 4710pts to 5468 June 20th = rise of 16.09%
ASX200 2nd jan 2014 5368pts to june 20th 5420pts diff = 52 points or 0.9678% kickass, what a joke.
'Bull. The ASX actually went down in the first half of 2013 (ie, Jan to June) so it has done BETTER this calendar year.
blah tried to jump onboard TON but missed the sailing by 5c....gone up 22% outta the blocks.....in 10mins
Wait a while. It will settle back down again over the next few days has already dropped from 33% today down to 23%. Might lift up again later, but will drift down over the next few days.
Is graphite the new gold for day traders.
@mitch/confused Could be a more long term play for those future proofing...i was tracking them and did research looked good for a dive in...but seems many others had same idea and overbought but good announce today driven the exuberance...one to watch and possible entry into 30s range if there again.i was looking at a 6-12month hold and accum.
This was one of my "rush of bubbles" buys and I bought right at the top of the last up peak, and then watched it go right back down again. Don't really mind as also holding long term now and hoping for great things. Yes, I think Graphite is the new gold....for now....
Any ideas out there on the best way to take short positions on a US listed fad stocks like battery car maker Tesla?
Even with the help of silly emissions regulations, this one can't defy gravity and the laws of thermodynamics for much longer, but I can wait 12 months to crash back to earth.
I dont think so.
I am curious how you think it is defying the laws of thermodynamics?
If it's a real product is doubt that is the case. Seems more likely you are just blowing hot air.
Jimmy, Jack and Fred ...
Tesla claim to be "zero emissions" which of course is a nonsense. The power that is used to charge the batteries is generated with emissions. I guess you'll say it can be charged with renewables or 100% green. True. Just like I can also buy carbon offsets to go 100% green with my petrol car. Then there is the batteries. A huge amount of energy is embedded in their production and how long do they last? Five years if you're careful.
Tesla is in business because of this myth of zero emissions…. Last year it was supported by senseless California zero-emission vehicle credits of $67.9 million and "other regulatory credits" of $17.1 million
The idea that you can race these just convinces me more that it is a fad. That and the companies P/E ratio of over 200 and a market cap that exceeds $1M for every car they ever sold!
The current stock price is around US$230. I 'd be happy to enter into a small Contract For Difference for a thousand shares in 12 months time. I pay you the difference if it is over, you pay me if it is less. Any takers?
The "Zero Emissions" tag refers to tailpipe emissions. It is no more misleading than the l/km sticker on a petrol car recording petrol usage and not the amount of crude oil required to make that petrol and the energy to transport & refine it.
I have no particular opinion one way or the other on the finances of Tesla Motors but as an engineer I am certainly excited by some of the technology they have in development.
Your claims about batteries are of course true, however battery technology is improving at a much greater rate than the technology around fossil fuels. It seems entirely likely that in the future they will be a successful product. You are comparing a consumer product with more than 100 years of intense development against a product that is in it's infancy. Of course the raw stats are going to favour the mature product. For now.
And you still never said what on earth any of this has has to do with the laws of thermodynamics?
"A landmark Senate inquiry is expected to call for informants who expose corporate wrongdoing to be rewarded and for the launch of a dedicated office for whistleblowers."
Employment boom!
time to tune up
Confusing 'weak' for 'week' in your headline. Please correct.
Eds: Thanks Peter, updated now. Chrs
I feel more confident of my buy into UXC after their market update 18th june and also this article:
feeling like adding to position a current pricing.
What are people's thoughts on buying Australian government bonds?
Australia's going broke..I wouldn't touch them. Only thing I'd be confident in buying are global commodities. At least you are then worth X ounces of YandZ or X barrels of oil no matter what happens to our sham economy AND DOLLAR.....What if our dollar goes to $2US? What happens if our dollar goes to $0.50US?...Both feasible when governments meddle as they have for years now..... Just my opinion though Fred.
Conservative, don't carry any but as a % of a balanced portfolio cant see a problem.
"Negative thinking is a conditioned process whereby the negative patterns are established over and over.Associate only with positive, focused people who you can learn from and who will not drain your valuable energy with complaining and uninspiring attitudes."
@BearshapedBull...Or...Think for yourself and don't be swayed by people that are irrationally positive about an economy that's completely broken.
….""We can tell you point blank that foreign investment is 4.6 per cent of the entire residential platform."….We all know that's 100% untrue....Have an audit so there's no doubt.
Where's the accountability of the ministers and FIRB? Isn't someone responsible?
Apparently not JBB.. rampant disregard for the rules.. and lip service to those who are concerned..I think the last time the FIRB had anything to say about foreign investment it was to protect GrainCorp.. so unless you are a large vested interest with buckets of money you will not get much shrift with them
The whole point of foreign investment is to keep things humming along in real estate now that the locals have lost interest. It keeps people in jobs, stops a potential crash, and keeps the stamp duty flowing into the coffers. It's a dangerous way of pushing the inevitable down the road, but no more or less dangerous than other false economic stimulators. Eventually all our properties will be foreign owned and we'll all be renting. But by then, the perpetrators (successive govts) would have enjoyed their day in the sun and would have retired on pensions and probably all living overseas anyway.
The FIRB isn't interested in some Chinese Family buying an over inflated property for $1 million. (Would you buy a foreign property that could be repatriated years later because you didn't get permission?)
FIRB vets foreign investments at the $54 million, $248 million and $1 billion thresholds.
Sure because house prices are a national past time, its politically expedient to try reassure everyone that the government is keeping a beady eye on them. But don't expect the department to pay much more than lip service. :o)
Although the figure for foreign investment is quite low. They tend to all want to buy in the same area, which in turn has really put a rocket up the most peculiar places in Sydney. It is now more expensive to buy a 2 bedder in North West/West than Eastern Suburbs in some cases. But how cares about the beach when you can not swim right?! I have nothing against it, but without even giving a second thought I know it to be a terrible investment choice to compete against that type of madness in my area, no point even turning up to auctions. Hey my lovely neighbours are happy though so hats off to them. Happy trading!
there are nearly 1.5 billion chinese living in china and at least a couple of hundred million living outside china. India is not far behind. the next biggest is the USA with a smidge over 300 million. Its inevitable that the bulk of the world will eventually be of asian decent and country borders will cease to mean much. the rich will always get access to where ever they want. $1.6 million for a weatherboard cottage on a tiny lot in northcote over the weekend. nuts.
@Lean Too...Agree...
@Gareth...Exactly...We're creaming it for what it's worth now while leaving our kids a basket case...Utterly unfair and entirely sanctioned by both parties. One pretending to be left while selling our future out...
@Peter...."Would you buy a foreign property that could be repatriated years later because you didn't get permission?"....That's how many people would like to see it unfold. The only reason Australians are losing interest in housing is it's too expensive...because of foreign investment...A circular argument.
@Living next door to.. Yep...They're not silly...Been to the slow moving car park in the east?...All the infrastructure money's being spent in places, guess where? Hurstville, Revesby, Strathfield....So, again, anyone. How does this benefit existing Australians? Fewer homes, higher prices, more congestion. Make this and population growth BEFORE INFRASTRUCTURE THE election issue. Sydney's choking. Baird offers infrastructure that would have been adequate 10 or more years ago. Since then Australia's had about 5 million more people added; and he'll be voted for again? Joking.
@smilingjack...Agree 100%...However, we are still a democracy and can vote to stop it...It'd be very stupid not to. BTW, I couldn't care what we end up being race wise...For me it's all about the numbers. Too many people both here and globally. It's the biggest problem times 1000, never talked about.
That carpark JohnBB is due to Meriton offering 2+ car parks for every unit built, but yes no real change in public transport for the area. I believe light rail up Burke or the other street running parrallel could fix up thos choke points. That said i would still classify that area west (Waterloo). Im talking about how a 2 bedder in Coogee, which has best run of traffic in Sydney, compared with 2 bedders in Ryde, nothing more than urban suburbia, with a dirty river an hour from the beach at best a golf course.
Keep it on the down low,@living next door to..
Our prices here will remain stable despite any correction, cant see that being the same in ryde.
So lets pretend you own some property and you want to sell it. According to you, you don't want to see any Chinese investors to offer you the highest possible price; you'd prefer to get less money for your property?
or, you only want Australian, UK, EU or Indonesians buying your property but not Chinese?
and how do you know these "Chinese" aren't from Singapore, malaysia or some other country than China?
australia is doing what the usa is doing. both countries have declining birth rates. lowest in history. the only thing keeping both countries going is massive immigration. for the record Indian immigration to Australia far exceeded China.
apparently we ( the world ) are growing at 80 million people per year. darling square sydney sold out off the plan over the weekend.
@Econorat...Not sure I said anything like that....I don't want any foreign ownership that takes any houses out of the pool and drive up prices. If you ask most Australians they'd agree. There's a law because of it...All I want is that law be adhered to...Not so much to ask is it?
JohnBB, I'd happily vote to stop it, but which party is suggesting they would stop it?
No difference to a farm or a house or a business. Australia has been open to foreign buyers for 200 years.
It's just that the mix has changed on who the buyers are, but is that a problem or is there a racial tone to your message?
Our biggest investors still remain the US & UK peoples.
i remember all the whingers out there when the Japanese were buying up resorts. It actually meant fantastic prices for sellers, more people employed and eventually we bought it back cheaper from them.
@Gareth...Just look for it come the election...Demand your local member support the laws of Australia....Hockey's the minister for responsible for FIRB...What's he doing about it? NOTHING. Both LNP and Labor want the FIRB to do NOTHING and that's exactly what they're doing. A government in the future will hold them all responsible for what they're doing to Australia.
@Econorat...."foreign buyers for 200 years"....That's right and now it's really starting to hurt Australians.
...."racial tone to your message?"....No. I've always been against the foreign ownership..If you were looking at my ethnic face you wouldn't be accusing me of that....You sure you're not a convenient non-racist? It seems to suit the pretend left wing to be so PC while selling us out. We're onto you.
The greatest benefit to all Australians and to have a rising living standard is for free and open trade with all nations.
Simple economics 101.
No exceptions and that includes property.
@Econorat...."The greatest benefit to all Australians and to have a rising living standard is for free and open trade with all nations.
Simple economics 101.".....
It's very clear that's proving wrong because per capita GDP is now going backwards. It was all made up to suit a couple of generations that wanted to spend it all at the huge expense to their own offspring.... The theory was never real... Just make believe BS. Proven as we speak.
There is no free trade with China and Indonesia in property because you cannot buy property in either.

While setting up Desktop on my Vista PC, I was trying to port over my Outlook Calendar appointments to Zimbra desktop. It has a little wizard that says I beed to export my MS Calendar to ICS format, then import the resulting ICS file. It appears that this is an iCalendar format, and my PC Outlook only exports in Windows .txt file format. Is there some magical conversion program at Zimbra?

Poptails Review – Literary Monday
Poptails was made for this scorching summer heat! If you are wondering what poptails are, they are essentially popsicles made with booze. Yum! We received this book a few weeks ago and hadn't gotten around to reviewing it. It's hard to be excited about poptails when San Francisco has barely broken 70 this summer. However, we were inspired by the Oxley poptails that we had at the 2012 Tales of the Cocktail. As you can imagine, July in New Orleans is scorching hot with humidity so thick that you can cut it with a knife. It makes me sweat just thinking about it. Luckily, every day at high noon, Oxley served poptails made with their delicious gin. I was inspired.

We are looking at how we can support both types of synchronization methods for our prospective clients. Having tested a iPhone with Zimbra Mobile that works straight out of the box. Moving onto a BlackBerry using Funambol to sync with Zimbra we ran into quite a few issues; duplicate calendar entries, appointments being re-sent, appointments being sent with incorrect email address! From researching, the later, I believe the problem occurs when using two calendar sources are configured on the BB.
Which devices do you support for your clients ? What issues have you ran into ? Do you even use ActiveSync clients on BBs ?

KOREA, DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF (Tier 3)
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) is a source country for men, women, and children who are subjected to forced labor, forced marriage, and sex trafficking. Within North Korea, forced labor is part of an established system of political repression. The North Korean government is directly involved in subjecting its nationals to forced labor in prison camps. North Koreans do not have a choice in the work the government assigns them and are not free to change jobs at will. North Korea is estimated to hold between 130,000 and 200,000 prisoners in political prison camps in remote areas of the country. Many of these prisoners were not actually convicted of a criminal offense. In prison camps, all prisoners, including children, are subject to forced labor, including logging, mining, and farming for long hours under harsh conditions. Reports indicate that political prisoners endure severe conditions, including little food or medical care, and brutal punishments; many are not expected to survive. Many prisoners fell ill or died due to harsh labor conditions, inadequate food, beatings, lack of medical care, and unhygienic conditions.
The North Korean government recruited laborers to work abroad under bilateral contracts with foreign governments, including in Russia; Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, East and Southeast Asia, including especially Mongolia, and the Middle East. Credible reports showed that many North Korean workers sent abroad under these contracts were subjected to forced labor, with their movement and communications constantly under surveillance and restricted by North Korean government "minders." There were also credible reports that these workers faced threats of government reprisals against them or their relatives in North Korea if they attempted to escape or complain to outside parties. Workers' salaries are deposited into accounts controlled by the North Korean government, which keeps most of the money, claiming fees for various "voluntary" contributions to government endeavors. Workers reportedly only received a fraction of the money paid to the North Korean government for their work. Between 10,000 and 15,000 North Korean workers are estimated to be employed in logging camps in Russia's Far East, where they reportedly have only two days of rest per year and face punishments if they fail to meet production targets. Over the past year, reports indicated that the North Korean government worked harder to place North Korean workers in Russia, particularly in the Far East. Wages of some North Korean workers employed in Russia reportedly were withheld until the laborers returned home. North Korean workers at joint ventures with foreign investors within the DPRK are employed under arrangements similar to those that apply to overseas contract workers.
NGOs and researchers estimate that thousands of undocumented North Koreans currently live in northeast China, and as many as 70 percent of them are women. There is no reliable information on how many of these North Koreans have been trafficked, but their status in China as illegal economic migrants who may be deported to North Korea makes them particularly vulnerable to trafficking. North Korean women and girls commonly migrate to China, often with the help of a facilitator, seeking food, work, freedom, and better life prospects, but may then be forced into marriage, prostitution, or labor. Trafficking networks of Korean-Chinese and North Koreans (usually men) operate along the China-North Korea border, reportedly working with border guards from both countries to recruit women for marriage or prostitution in China. North Korean women often pass through many hands, with multiple brokers involved in their trafficking. Reports indicate that security along the North Korea-China border increased during the reporting period. It is unclear what impact this change had on trafficking trends. Some North Korean women who make their own way to China are lured, drugged, or kidnapped by traffickers upon arrival. Others are offered jobs, but are subsequently compelled into domestic service through forced marriages to Chinese men, often of Korean ethnicity, or are forced into prostitution in brothels or through the Internet sex trade. Some are forced to serve as hostesses in nightclubs and karaoke bars. If found by Chinese authorities, victims are deported to North Korea where they are subject to harsh punishment, including forced labor in DPRK labor camps.
The North Korean government does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking and is not making significant efforts to do so. The government did not demonstrate any efforts to address human trafficking through prosecution, protection, or prevention measures. The government contributed to the human trafficking problem through its ban on emigration, its failure to address its poor economic and food situation, and through its forced labor camps, where North Koreans live in conditions of servitude, receiving little food and little, if any, medical care.
Recommendations for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea: Recognize human trafficking as a problem in North Korea, and one that is distinct from human smuggling; work with the international community to close forced labor camps; work with the international community to allow North Koreans to choose their form of work and leave their employment at will, and with fair wages; work with the international community to improve the social, political, economic, and human rights conditions that render North Koreans vulnerable to trafficking; provide assistance to trafficking victims and forge partnerships with international organizations and NGOs to aid in this effort; and allow NGOs to operate freely within North Korea to assist trafficking victims.
The North Korean government made no discernible law enforcement efforts to combat trafficking in persons during the reporting period. The government continued to deny that human trafficking was a problem. Article 233 of the penal code criminalizes border crossing and Article 234 prohibits border guards from assisting border crossers; both carry a penalty of up to 25 years of detention in a labor facility. Article 289 of the penal code prohibits the abduction of children and Article 290 prohibits the abduction of individuals or groups. Both statutes prescribe penalties of three to 10 years of "labor correction." Article 7 of the 1946 Law on Equality of the Sexes forbids trafficking in women. However, fair trials did not occur in North Korea and the government was not transparent with its law enforcement data, so it remained unclear under what provisions of the law, if any, traffickers were prosecuted. During the reporting period, there were no known prosecutions or convictions of trafficking offenders or officials complicit in forced labor or forced prostitution. The government did not report whether it provided any anti-trafficking training to its officials. Reports indicate that repatriated North Koreans were subjected to harsh punishments during the reporting period. North Korean defectors reported instances of the government punishing traffickers, including execution.
The North Korean government did not make any known attempts to protect trafficking victims during the reporting period. The government reported no efforts to identify or assist trafficking victims. Government authorities provided no discernible protection services to trafficking victims, nor did it permit indigenous NGOs to operate freely in North Korea. The few international NGOs allowed into the DPRK were not permitted to assist trafficking victims. The government provided no assurances to trafficking victims that they would be exempt from being penalized for unlawful acts committed as a direct result of their being trafficked. DPRK authorities continued to screen North Koreans for contacts with South Koreans and exposure to South Korean cultural influences, but did not distinguish between trafficking victims and illegal migrants. Article 233 of the penal code criminalizes border crossing and Article 234 prohibits border guards from assisting border crossers; both articles carry a penalty of up to two to five years of forced labor. North Koreans forcibly repatriated by Chinese authorities, including women believed to be trafficking victims, were sent to prison camps, where they may have been subjected to forced labor, torture, sexual abuse by prison guards, or other severe punishment. Repatriated victims who were suspected of having become pregnant with a child of possible Chinese paternity may be subject to forced abortions and infanticide. Reports indicate that prison authorities brutally killed infants born to repatriated victims while in prison.
North Korean authorities made no discernible efforts to prevent human trafficking during the reporting period. Internal conditions in the DPRK prompted many North Koreans to flee the country, making them vulnerable to human trafficking. Although press reports indicated that border security increased during the reporting period, there was no evidence that the DPRK government attempted to prevent human trafficking by screening migrants along the border. DPRK authorities made no discernible efforts to reduce the demand for commercial sex acts. North Korea is not a party to the 2000 UN TIP Protocol.

Classes Start Monday At Long-Delayed School
January 4, 2013
CAMERON — Classes at the new Cameron High School begin Monday, but students got their first look at the facility this wee....
all of the schools are supposed to be locked up.part of homeland security.

Would love to see someone who thinks that because its Cameron, its too much money to spend on just those students. Yes, they should have had some trailers or tents because they are just second class citizens there. No doubt the execution of the plan by the Board was flawed, but the concept of the new building and the cost was approved by the voters. The previous school flooded from even a heavy rain, had no central air, had a gym from 70 years ago...Cameron high school is a good school (I am not an alum or resident) with a great history of education, community and sports. Their kids are just as important as your kids and have a right to education too. One thing about CHS that I have noticed is that it is an important part of the community in many ways, and expanding community access (for fitness is one) is a great thing. A lot of schools are locked up, but CHS is active in the community and vice versa. The school is a good thing, and people are worth the investment.

they must have changed the rules on balconies since they have a suspended walking track above the gym.all of our schools with balconies overlooking the gyms had to be boxed in so that nobody would get thrown off[even though for the first 50 years this never happened].i'd like to see a picture of it.
