Australia's year of extreme weather has collected a fresh record with January posting the hottest average temperatures for the month on record.
With just a day's data to be collected, the average of maximum and minimum temperatures for the month was 29.7 degrees. That tally was 1.79 degrees above the long-term average.
Short of a remarkably frigid final few hours for the month, January was all but certain to beat the previous record set in 1932, the weather bureau said.
The monthly result means the September-January period was also the hottest on record, beating the previous three highest in 2002-03, 2006-07 and 2009-10.
Those earlier years "were all El Nino and drought years, whereas that hasn't been a factor this time," said Blair Trewin, senior climatologist with the bureau's national climate centre. "That makes it even more remarkable."
Trewin said that while Australia had a variable climate, the recent heat spell should be seen against the backdrop of longer-term warming.
"If you do super-impose your normal variability on a warming background trend, you are going to see more warm extremes and fewer cold extremes," he said.
The rainfall tallies show a mixed picture, with some regions along the east coast reporting well-above average rain, thanks mostly to the remnants of tropical cyclone Oswald, which dumped record rain on many parts of Queensland and New South Wales.
By contrast, parts of Victoria posted record low rainfall for the month, particularly in the south west, Trewin said.
Melbourne's tally of eight millimetres - about one-sixth of the city's average - placed it within the driest 10 per cent of annual records dating back to 1855.
Sydney's Observatory Hill collected 138 millimetres of rain in January - most of it falling in the 24 hours to Tuesday morning - or about one-third more than the average for the month, said Brett Dutschke, senior meteorologist at Weatherzone.
The massive heatwave in the first half of the month prompted the bureau to add extra colours to its heat charts in case temperatures climbed above 50 degrees Celsius.
While the new colour scheme of purples and pinks for 50-52C and 52-54C has yet to be used, the country did smash previous records dating back to 1910 for days in a row of average maximums above 39C (seven) and the hottest area-average mean temperature at 32.36C.
One of the month's more notable records was Alice Springs, which notched up 17 days in a row over 40C.
In 1972-73, the previous time Australia experienced such a broad-based heatwave, the town managed 17 days straight over 39.5C, Trewin said.
While the big wet brought cooler temperatures in some east coast regions towards the end of the month, unusual wind patterns triggered hotter-than-usual weather to north Queensland. Cairns, for instance, saw the mercury climb to 38.6C on Tuesday, its hottest day since 1995.

Is there an easy way to remove a UV gel top coat? Or is there a product for removing this?
First we need to determine what you mean by UV gel top coat. There are generally three different gel products that are considered top coats: UV-cured sealing gel with a sticky residue, UV-cured sealing gel with no sticky residue, and UV-cured top coat. Sometimes UV-cured sealing gels with sticky residue can be soaked off like an acrylic with acetone, but not all can. Some need to be filed off.
UV-cured sealing gels with no sticky residue usually cannot be soaked off and must be filed off, but there is at least one type I know of that will soak off.
UV-cured top coats are technically not gels but they have some of the same properties. They are used over polish — like a traditional top coat — but cure very quickly when exposed to UV light. They can also be removed with any nail polish remover or acetone.
An easy solution is to use an e-file with a coarse sanding band. Since gel is easy to file, it usually takes less time to file off than to soak. And when you get close to the natural nail, just switch to a block buffer or a fine grit file.

Windows Phone 7 Series (hereafter I'll just call it WP7) debuted a while ago at a press event but it's true coming out party was this past week at MIX 2010. This conference is a designer-developer hybrid conference and, of all the Microsoft development conferences I've ever attended, this has consistently been the most informative and exciting of the bunch.
In case you've been hiding under a rock this past week, Microsoft has been showing off WP7 and the development experience for it. I'm going to oversimplify here, but this is the basic idea: You can choose to either develop for the platform in Silverlight or you can use the XNA toolkit normally used for building XBox and PC games in C#. WP7 has all the trimmings including push notifications, rich GUI (hardware accelerated), rich audio, the full power of Silverlight's media control, and it even has Xbox live integration allowing you to unlock achievements by playing games on the phone. Development tool is standard Visual Studio and for the Silverlight model you can use Expression Blend 4 to build you GUI (and there are some fantastic new improvements in Blend 4).
I'm going to talk mostly about the Silverlight experience here since the last time I used XNA it was in beta and XNA has come a long way since then and I couldn't possibly do it justice. Your application is made of up pages (this concept should be familiar to SL3 developers), with each page acting like a specialized SL user control. These pages can have an application bar, which is similar to an iPhone tab bar control. The difference is that when you tap the elipsis ("...") on the WP7 app bar, the app bar expands without you losing context while the iPhone tab bar "more" button transitions you to a fairly bland table view controller. At this point you can do pretty much anything you would normally be able to do in Silverlight, but you also get things like raw access to audio from the microphone, pickers for all native types of data on the phone like contacts, etc and the ability to send e-mails and SMS - all the stuff you'd expect to have.
So, how does it feel to code for this thing and, more importantly, how does it compare to writing iPhone apps? First, let me preface this by saying that I've been writing iPhone apps off and on since before the SDK came out and we had to "fake it" with clever CSS and HTML and for the past few months I've been seriously writing heavy duty iPhone apps for real businesses. On many occasions over the past few months, I've said that developing for the iPhone was 'fun' and 'what coding should be like'. That said, I have also forcibly rammed my head into my desk out of frustration with certain aspects of the iPhone development process.
Writing apps that look and feel like iPhone apps that look just like every other iPhone application is a task that takes little to no effort. I can go from empty project to a data-driven table view controller on the iPhone in pretty much no time at all. I can also do the same thing on the WP7 tools in about the same amount of time. Where the two begin to diverge is when I want to start customizing. I won't go into painful detail here because I plan on making a bunch of blog posts about WP7 and comparing it to the iPhone later. There are a few points that I want to make, however:
Push Notifications
As I said, I plan on delving into individual topics as I blog more about this, but I wanted to bring this up specifically. Dealing with the App Store and with the Developer Portal in general on the iPhone is a headache at best. When you add into it the juggling, management, and eventual botching of certificates and provisioning profiles, the mess gets even worse. Now you add into it the debacle of getting certificates based on provisioning profiles that are used by your servers to send push notifications to registered iPhone devices and it can bring the strongest of men to weeping on his knees. From firsthand experience, the act of getting your first push notification to work on an iPhone/iPod touch application is akin to climbing mount everest and when you get to the top you're thinking, "#@*! I have to do this again!?" With Apple, the phone contacts Apple to get a notification token (assuming the application is using a provisioning profile configured for notifications), the token then has to be sent by the app's code to the app owner's server for storage. That server needs to be configured with the right certificates to that it can send a proprietary binary package of goo containing the notification to Apple's servers, which will eventually make its way down to your app. Trust me, getting this to work is a victorious moment, preceded by weeks of eye-gouging pain.
Here's how it works with WP7: App gets a unique notification URI that represents notifications for that app on that device. App sends the URI to the app owner's server. When you want to send a notification, HTTP POST the contents of that notification (XML payload) to Microsoft's notification server. That's it. Done.
Small side note here: I like that you can send unobtrusive toasts with WP7 far better than sending modal dialog boxes with iPhone, they feel more like the Palm Pre notifications than iPhone dialogs. There are no certificates and private keys to manage, there are no provisioning profiles to deal with, there are no certificates required to be present on the notification sending server and there is no management portal you have to go to in order to maintain this stuff. For the first time recent history, Microsoft took the "it just works" approach whereas Apple's is hideously and unnecessarily complex.
GUI Customization
I alluded to this earlier in the post. If what I want to do is display two rows of textual information in a table view cell, then the iPhone gives me that out of the box and my application will feel perfectly at home on the device. However, when I want to mix in some icons and some other gauges and indicators that might not fall into the existing line-up of controls, I quickly drop from feeling safe and secure to feeling like I'm back in the low-level Windows programming days of yore where everything I do needs to be a custom view with a custom render/paint method. It gets tedious, difficult, and time-consuming FAST.
Because WP7 lets me do all this stuff in Silverlight, I can use the advanced, composited, declarative UI to do truly remarkable things in very little time at all. I could make the cells in my table view (list view or grid in SL) have three rows and put whatever controls I want in there. Creating a type of UI that doesn't exist in the stock toolbox in Silverlight is easy... doing the same in the iPhone feels positively primitive by comparison.
Overall Experience
As you'll see in the blog posts I'm planning on doing, WP7 development is like a breath of fresh air. It's funny, because I remember saying that when I first got my hands on the iPhone SDK and I was comparing iPhone development to Compact Framework for Windows Mobile. Cast aside all your preconceived notions about all previous versions of Microsoft mobile OS development - this is something entirely new. Also, keep in mind that when you build your mobile app in Silverlight, if you do it with a little forethought, you could potentially share 90+% of your code for an app that works on WP7, on a PC, and on a Mac.
I will still build apps for the iPhone, but only because people continue to want to pay me to do so. From now on, my mobile development for pleasure is going to be entirely WP7 based.

The search for a Malaysia Airlines jetliner deep in the Indian Ocean was again cut short on Wednesday when technical problems forced a US Navy underwater drone to surface without finding anything, officials said.
While a massive air and sea search for missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 is continuing almost 2,000 km (1,200 miles) off the coast of Perth, hopes have been pinned on the Bluefin-21 autonomous underwater vehicle finding the first concrete sign of the plane in more than six weeks of hunting.
Malaysian authorities have still not ruled out mechanical problems as causing the Boeing 777's disappearance, but say evidence suggests it was deliberately diverted from its scheduled route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
An aircraft's black box records data from the cockpit and conversations among flight crew and may provide answers about what happened to the missing plane.
A unspecified technical problem meant the Bluefin resurfaced early on Wednesday and analysis of the sonar data downloaded showed no significant detections, the Australian agency leading the search said.
It has subsequently been relaunched to continue its search.
The drone was forced to end its first deployment early on Monday after it exceeded its 4.5 km (14,750 feet) depth limit in the remote stretch of ocean where search authorities believe the jetliner crashed after its disappearance on March 8 with 239 people on board.
The introduction of the Bluefin marks a methodical, slower paced new phase of the search, now in its 40th day and described by the search coordinator, retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, as the most expensive in aviation history.
U.S. Naval personnel have said the drone could take up to two months to scour a 600 sq km area where the plane is believed to have sunk.
The deep sea area now being searched, the Zenith Plateau, has never been mapped in detail because it is not in any country's economic zone.
However the sea floor is likely covered in ''foraminiferal ooze'', a sludge formed by microscopic marine organisms, which would show up any large metallic object clearly, James Cook University marine geologist Robin Beaman told Reuters.
''A sidescan is very good at detecting the difference in the acoustic return of a hard object versus a soft, muddy sea floor,'' he said. ''This is quite a good environment for looking for wreck debris, albeit deep.''
An air and sea search for floating debris continued on Wednesday, but Houston has indicated that will soon end.
Up to 11 military aircraft, three civil aircraft and 11 ships would help in Wednesday's search, covering a total area of about 55,151 square km in rainy conditions.
Authorities have targeted the remote stretch of ocean based on four acoustic signals they believe are from the plane's black box recorders.
But they have not heard a ''ping'' for a week and with the batteries on the locator beacons now 10 days past their 30-day expected life, authorities have decided to stop searching using a Towed Pinger Locator and to use the Bluefin instead.

US: Judge rules that equal marriage must be recognised in state of New Mexico
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Good to hear!
Someone buy that judge a drink for his use of common sense.
Today, New Mexico. Tomorrow, the rest of the civilized world …. (but don't hold your breath).
From I've read, only 3 counties, Dona Ana, Santa Fe and Bernalillo counties have been ordered to issue licences, not the entire state as of yet.
….From what I've read….
There are three counties under court order, but Doña Ana County is not one of them. Santa Fe, Bernalillo, and Taos Counties have each been ordered by different judges to issue marriage licenses. Three other counties, Doña Ana, San Miguel, and Valencia Counties, have each decided to issue marriage licenses on their own.
"but no recognition of same-sex relationships existed within the state."
Not quite accurate, as same-sex marriages validly carried out in other jurisdictions were already recognised in New Mexico!
Think this should give the New Mexico legislature the encouragement to simply make the issue clear. Its a liberal state and there's a clear majority for change
They do have the small issue of a horrendous Governor though. I reckon one or two more rulings and the state Supreme Court will feel ready to make a ruling. They said they turned down the case a few weeks ago because they wanted some solid district-level decisions to judge.
I think that the ruling could be argued to be applicable to any other pioneering county clerks, or in another local trial. But, the actual ruling technically only demands that two counties allow for SSM. However, it's great news as the three counties thus far constitute over half the population!

|Check-in before
Great place to stay during Alp days in Swiss. Charming apartment in a wonderful village with all comfort and home tools. Besides, Patricia the owner is really helpful and make you feel like home. I would recommend this apartment to any traveller.
This apartment is very well designed and the owner was very friendly. We spend a very good time in Brugge. I will recommend this apartment. But we had a problem with Wimdu because they gave us a wrong telephone and address and we couldn´t contact with the owner and Windu. Finally we could contact with Interhom and they gave me the right telephone and address. It was a very stressful situation.
We stayed in the appartment during Christmas.The appartment itself is fabulous and located in a wonderful, but quite village. All rooms, big kitchen, furniture and facilities were well taken care of. A practical space for a family, like ours with two young children. Forests for walking is near. Shops and cities are further away. A good option is to drive to the closest train station to catch one of the trains that take you through the whole country, with its nice towns and to Luxemburg city for just 4euro a day, children under 12 yrs travel free. Food and wine in Luxemburg are nice, so we enjoyed Christmas very much.
The place was very clean and big. It had a nice garden that we could use whenever we wanted, which is great if you go with kids. The only problem was that it said the beach was 400m away, which is true but it was 400m of steps, which is a problem when you are coming back and have to go up (with kids, baby and a lot of stuff).
Apart from that, everything was great.
Nice apartment as advertised
Very nice accommodation
Fantastic views - just like in the pictures.
Would go back anytime!
Located in central Supetar with walking distance to beaches and the ferry, this accommodation is a perfect hub for a Brac vacation.
The view from the terrace is scenic with a clear view of Split from the other side of the strait. The beds are comfortable and not as hard as a lot of beds are in these kind of accomodations. The kitchen, though small, works well to cook in. We cooked one meal a day here for almost two weeks without getting swamped. The host is nice and very helpful and sometimes unexpectedly gave us treats such as fresh lemonade or home baked cookies. We traveled with a 1 1\2 year old, which worked really well here, she had a crib of her own and loved both the host and the house cat!
Every was beautiful: house, service, neighborhood, environs, region - all was the best, but unfortunately the one thing disturbed our stay.
Very unpleasent strong smell of animal (cat, dog?) in living room.
It was really unpleasant.

Today, Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) and Space Communication Ltd. (Spacecom) announced an agreement to launch Spacecom's AMOS-6 satellite on SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch vehicle. Falcon 9 will insert the communications satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO), further enhancing Spacecom's existing satellite fleet.
The AMOS-6 agreement is the latest in a series of wins for SpaceX. The company closed out 2012 having signed 14 launch contracts—maintaining the company's position as the world's fastest growing launch services provider.
"This last year has been one of great success and tremendous growth," said Gwynne Shotwell, President of SpaceX. "Spacecom was one of our earliest supporters—SpaceX is proud to be their partner and we look forward to launching their AMOS-6 satellite."
The AMOS-6 satellite, to be built by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), will provide communication services including direct satellite home internet for Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. AMOS-6 will replace AMOS-2, which is expected to end its service in 2016.
"We are excited to partner with SpaceX and its tremendous team. AMOS-6 will be larger and stronger than AMOS-2 and AMOS-3 combined, and signals a new age for Spacecom," commented David Pollack, President and CEO of Spacecom. "As we establish our position as a global satellite operator providing more services and capacity, AMOS-6 will be a key element of our business strategy and future."
The AMOS-6 mission is targeting a 2015 launch from Cape Canaveral, FL.
About SPACECOM
Spacecom (Space-Communication Ltd.), operator of the AMOS-2 and AMOS-3 satellites co-located at 4°W, and AMOS-5 located at 17°E, provides high-quality broadcast and communication services to Europe, the Middle East, the U.S. East Coast and Africa via direct-to-home (DTH) and direct broadcast satellite (DBS) operators, Internet service providers (ISPs), telecom operators, network integrators and government agencies. The company's planned launches of AMOS-4 in 2013 with coverage over Russia and South Asia, and AMOS-6 in 2015 with coverage over Europe and the Middle East, will further enhance its position as a multi-regional satellite operator.

As so often happens, whenever there is a political spat in Europe, the rating agencies are quickly involved (thing S&P and Moody's downgrades and upgrades of Greece depending on how well the vassal nation is "behaving"), and moments ago S&P downgraded Poland from A- to BBB+ outlook negative, precisely due to Poland's new media law which has been the topic of so much consternation over the past week. In other words, S&P is now nothing more than a lackey for Brussels, threatening to send Polish yields higher if Poland does not fall in line.

Amazon's service was great years ago, items arrived within two days, next day delivery was next day delivery but nowadays you're lucky if you get what you ordered at all. Most things arrive within a week, a week, it's 2013 for christs sake, not the middle ages. Then when you complain to amazon customer service they say sorry and say you have to wait about 4 or 5 days to see if the item arrives, why?
Also, the 3-5 day delivery option is misleading, amazon don't tell customers that it's 3-5 days AFTER the seller has managed to get off their behind and ship it, so it could take 4 days for the seller to bothere sending it, then another 3-5 days delivery. About 60-70% of the items i've ordered from amazon this year have arrived very, very late or not at all, meaning i've had to contact customer service, and customer service have been polite but unwilling to help much, telling me I have to wait days and days to see if the item arrives, and wait 2 days everytime I e-mail a seller to get a response from them because sellers have 2 days to respond making conversations with them VERY long winded. Amazon these days are a complete and utter joke.

SCRANTON - A hearing for a Scranton woman accused of pointing what turned out to be a pellet gun at two city police officers and briefly stealing a patrol car in December was continued Monday.
Police said Amanda Bordo, 19, of New York Street, pointed a gun at a police officer when he opened the door of her home to check on her mental health after she had threatened to kill herself on Dec. 22.
Ms. Bordo later ran onto the front porch and pointed the pellet gun at a second officer before jumping into an idling patrol car and driving it a short distance. She was then forcibly removed, according to police.
She was arrested on 13 counts, including two of aggravated assault.
Her hearing was rescheduled for Jan. 14.

My Milwaukee tattoo
I threatened to honor Milwaukee with permanent skin ink for many years, and admired others who boldly adorned their bodies with Brew City devotion. In 2007, I even wrote an article about Milwaukee tats, and last week, I finally got one.
I went to Adambomb, 2028 N. Martin Luther King Dr., and owner Adam Werther tattooed the Milwaukee Tool logo on my left forearm. I know I am not the first Milwaukee patriot to pick this, but it has appealed to me for many years.
After owning four houses in Milwaukee, I spent a lot of time (and money) in local hardware stores, and every time I saw the red-and-white Milwaukee Tool logo on a sign or box, I admired its jaggedy font and the badass lightning bolt beneath it.
My tattoo was done entirely in black ink and it took Adam about three hours to complete the six-inch indelible image. I have numerous tattoos, but I have never had this much black ink applied. The process ranged from almost painless to annoying -- especially near the wrist -- even though I have a pretty high threshold for pain and am one of those wack-a-dos that actually likes the feeling of getting tattooed.
The healing process, however, has been painful at times. My tattoo went from weepy to scaly and my entire arm is so sore I joked with a friend about wishing I was born with detachable limbs.
But for the love of a town that Alice Cooper calls "Mila wau kay," it is worth it.

South of Gympie, the rain gauge at Cooran recorded a total of 50mm. Other areas in the Wide Bay/Burnett district missed out in the bulk of the rain, only recording 8mm at Toolara and 7mm at Gayndah and Kingaroy.
A band of cloud associated with a low pressure trough is the culprit of the recent rainfall. The trough will continue to bring showers along the south-east again, with the heaviest falls most likely to be between Gladstone and Brisbane today, potentially adding another 5-10mm, with isolated falls of 10-20mm.
The trough will quickly shift off the coast tonight, dragging the cloudy conditions which have brought warmer-than-average mornings away. Clearer skies as well as a cooler air mass, will bring about a cooler morning for wide areas of the south east, with Brisbane potentially falling to eight degrees overnight, and Mackay settling just over the double digits of 10 degrees. This would be a whole eight degrees cooler than the previous day.
As a high pressure ridge rebuilds over the coast, settled and mostly sunny conditions will return for the remainder of the week, with the odd coastal shower lingering in onshore winds.
