About 30 motorists in Dunedin and Oamaru encountered engine
problems after filling their vehicles with contaminated
petrol last Friday.
The fuel had been contaminated with water during "routine
pipeline testing" at a terminal in Dunedin earlier in the
The contaminated 91-octane petrol was delivered to three BP
sites, Regent on George St, Dunedin North on Cumberland St,
and Oamaru BP, and Mobil Northgate on Cumberland St. The
91-octane fuel tanks at these stations were closed after the
problem was discovered. All had since been cleaned and
BP communications and external affairs manager Jonty Mills
said about 15 Oamaru customers and three in Dunedin had
reported problems.
Mobil Northgate owner Beven O'Callaghan said 12 customers had
experienced problems.
Mr Mills said BP had provided five rental cars to Oamaru
customers, and four mechanics were brought to the site to
repair affected vehicles.
Mr O'Callaghan said the contamination was noticed when
vehicles that had been filled up "couldn't leave the
"[The vehicles] that we organised to have repaired are all on
the road now, with new filters and fresh fuel." A couple of
customers had taken their vehicles to other workshops, which
were closed for the weekend, and so were yet to get their
cars back on the road.
Any others who believed they had been affected could contact
any Dunedin Mobil outlet, Mr O'Callaghan said. It was "rare"
for petrol to be contaminated.
Mr Mills said the petrol was believed to have been
contaminated on Friday during routine testing of a pipeline
at the industry terminal in Dunedin, which is owned by BP and
operated by New Zealand Oil Services Ltd.
The terminal services both Mobil and BP stations in Dunedin
and the surrounding area.
A couple of trucks loaded 91-octane fuel from the terminal
and delivered it to the affected sites.
The terminal tank was closed at 6.30pm on Friday. The problem
was rectified and the tank was operating again about noon on
How the water entered the pipe was subject to a "full
investigation", Mr Mills said.

The Denver Athletic Club (DAC) and Poor Boys Boxing (Jim Smith) 2014 'St Paddy's Day Punch Out' annual fundraising event was again successful with 100% of the live and silent auction proceeds to benefit the Mile High Squash program housed at the DAC.
A few memorabilia items auctioned included a Peyton Manning autographed jersey, John Elway autographed helmet, Willie Mays autographed framed photo, Mickey Ward and Arturo Gatti autographed photo, Meridian Golf Club 4-some with cart and a Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter autographed boxing glove all to benefit the Mile High Squash program.
This year's event again featured former Denver City Councilman Ed Thomas as the Master of Ceremonies and DAC General Manager Mike Hestera acknowledging corporate sponsors Diamond Cabaret, Boulder Beer and Egan Printing for their continued support along with the many Denver businesses and members who purchased corporate tables helping make the event a success.
The success of the 2014 Denver Athletic Club 'Boxing Night Extravaganza' was clearly due to the hard work of many, Event and Marketing Manager Brooklyn Garcia-O'Hare leading the way with the incredible DAC staff always courteous and helpful.
Missing in this event will forever be the smiling face of long-time Denver boxing trainer and DAC employee Mr. Bobby Dunlap who passed away back in 2010, his memory and legacy remaining part of the DAC and their 'St Paddy's Day Punch Out'.
The carefully prepared gourmet dinner began with an Iceberg Wedge Salad with bacon, hard cooked egg, tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles and avocado Ranch dressing, the mouth watering and delicious entrée of Herb Crusted Flat Iron with Veal Demi-Glace and Lobster and Shrimp Newberg en Croute with Sauteed Asparagus and Twice Baked Potato barely leaving room for dessert, chocolate Lava Cake with Crème Anglaise garnished with fresh berrries.
The entertainment portion of the evening satisfied all in attendance with boxing main event combatants Giovanni 'Predator' Merceron and Joel Vargas engaging in a spirited junior welterweight bout, the obviously smaller but more determined Merceron getting the unanimous decision win.
The co-main event featured young Donovan 'Slick D' Estrella taking on a game Elan Simon in an extremely competitive featherweight bout, Estrella remaining undefeated and getting the nod on the scorecards of all three judges for the unanimous decision victory.
Three heavyweight bouts ended with wins by TKO as Cristian Bonilla dispatched of Mason Chesmore by 1st round TKO, Andrew 'The Hebrew Hammer' Klein got a weird (eye injury) 2nd round TKO win over Mike Seymour and Terrance Perro gets rid of some rust when stopping Shawn Jeppson by way of 2nd round TKO. Martin Quezada stopped a game Estafa Jahad in the fourth round of their scheduled 4-round featherweight match-up giving all attending an entertaining evening of professional boxing for a more than worthwhile cause.
Sadly, dear friend Margarito 'Muggsy' Berzoza, former Denver boxer turned AIBA referee/official who was committed to the success of the Colorado Golden Gloves and scheduled for induction into the Colorado Golden Gloves Hall-Of-Fame March 29th (now posthumously) passed away this past Friday night, losing his battle with liver disease.
Condolences to the Berzoza family and as funeral arrangements are completed the time and date of those services will be shared.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 was a great idea in theory; an always-online racer that allowed you to live a life of luxury with an open world to explore. A lot of things are good in theory, but unfortunately Test Drive Unlimited 2 fails to deliver the compelling racing experience it set out to achieve.
Large Open World - Test Drive Unlimited 2 allows you to explore the island of Ibiza and beyond in a large open world that can be stunning at times. Whether you are racing for a championship or simply taking a cruise along the coast and viewing that sunset, you can't deny that Test Drive Unlimited 2 delivers a large playground to drive in.
Attention To Detail - Take the top off, wind down those windows, change the radio station or even use the turn signals. Test Drive Unlimited 2 pays attention to detail, even the little things.
Social Aspect - Buying houses and decking them out, showing off your impressive car collection or simply taking photos all bring together a certain social aspect to the gameplay which other racers are lacking.
Multiplayer Fun - Driving around in an always online world has its perks; meet up with some friends by the boulevard and have a race down the coast or simply enjoy a nice joyride around town.
Player Models - While a racing game should all be about the cars, considering you do interact with the character models on a regular basis you would think they would pay some attention to their looks. Unfortunately player models are atrocious, even by PS2 standards.
City Feels Empty - Even though the world may be huge, the city areas feel completely empty. Ibiza is a party island, yet there are no people in sight.
Broken Online - The multiplayer aspect of Test Drive Unlimited 2 is good when it works. Unfortunately the online portion of the game seems to be broken more often than not, and even when it does work you will suffer horrendous pop-in and unplayable lag.
Handling - This is a racing game yet cars handle like little toys. Never does a car feel correctly weighted or powerful. Steering is rigid and it takes some serious tweaking in the control menu to get things to a playable level.
In theory Test Drive Unlimited 2 should have been a wonderful experience; a massive open world to race in, luxurious cars and houses to purchase and an always online multiplayer aspect that focuses not only on racing but being social. Unfortunately ideas on paper don't always transcend into greatness, and Test Drive Unlimted 2 is proof of that.

AI in races are easy but for some reason in time trials (when you cannot see them) they become really hard to beat.

Can You Discipline Your Children Without Using Blame?
It's almost bedtime and you're pretty sure that Jason, your fourth-grader, hasn't done his homework. You're a conscientious dad and you intend to do your job, which, you believe, is to make sure your son gets good grades in school by being a responsible student.
•Read the original article published at the Huffington Post•
Now dad's upset. He takes a few breaths, allows his feelings to settle, and asks himself, "What's my goal with my son?" His immediate goal is to not create a massive display of anger and anxiety, especially just before bedtime. His higher vision, his long-term goals as a father, is to create a loving, collaborative connection with his son.

Randy DeMoville was saved as a 12-year-old young man at the Faith Baptist Church of Wildomar, California, pastored by Dr. Bruce Goddard, a graduate of Hyles-Anderson College. It was at Faith Baptist Church that Randy accepted God's call to preach and surrendered to be a missionary. Following his pastor's footsteps he enrolled at Hyles-Anderson College in the fall of 1990 as a missions major.
It was at Hyles-Anderson College that Randy met Kelly Ashby, whom he would marry in the summer of 1995. Upon graduation, Kelly taught second grade for two years at Hammond Baptist Grade School. She became a stay at home mother when their first child, Allyson, was born.
As a student, Randy had some years of struggle. A missions trip in 1999 to the Philippines was a major turning point in his life and in his academics. Several more missions trips to various countries gave him a greater burden for the world to hear the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. In his last semester at Hyles-Anderson College, though preparing to go to the Philippines as a missionary, God made it clear to Randy that he was to stay. This was made abundantly clear when Pastor Jack Schaap asked him to teach missions at Hyles-Anderson College.
For five and one-half years Randy taught Bible, Missions, Personal Evangelism, and other classes at his alma mater. He also served as a field director for Asia and the Pacific with Fundamental Baptist Missions International during this time. In the spring of 2009 Randy was asked to lead what had already been formed as the India Team, with plans to start a ministry in India.
Through a series of events, it was decided that the India Team would become the Indo-Philippine Team. This team would stage in the Philippines and reach into India and other Asian countries from this missionary-friendly country. As God continues to open doors of opportunity both in the Philippines and India, Randy is excited to see how God is going to use his team to see churches planted and millions saved.

(6) UCLA at (3) Clemson
Saturday, November 25
Clemson, SC (Riggs Field) *4:00 p.m. (PST)
This Week . . .
The sixth-seeded UCLA women's soccer team travels to Clemson, South Carolina to take on the third-seeded Clemson Tigers in an NCAA quarterfinal match. That match will be at 4:00 p.m. (PST) at Clemson's Historic Riggs Field.
Bruins Earn Second Quarterfinal Appearance . . .
For the second time in program history, the UCLA women's soccer team advances to the NCAA quarterfinals. The Bruins' last trip to the quarterfinals was a 1997 meeting with Notre Dame. UCLA lost that match 8-0.
How They Got Here . . .
UCLA received an at-large selection to the tournament, earning a first-round bye. The Bruins defeated USC, 3-0 in the second round on Dec. 11 and Texas A&M, 4-0 in the third round this past Sunday. Clemson, seeded third in the tournament, also received a first-round bye and advances to the quarterfinals after posting wins over Duke and Florida State in the second and third rounds respectively. The Tigers were also an at-large selection to the 48-team tourney.
Bruins vs. Tigers - TAKE TWO! . . .
UCLA and Clemson opened the 2000 season against each other at the Clemson/Nike Kickoff Classic in South Carolina on Aug. 25. Despite being outshot 15-7, Clemson won that match 1-0 on a goal in the 36th minute by Lindsay Browne. That match was the first-ever meeting between the two schools. Clemson and UCLA share only one common opponent in the Florida Gators. The Bruins downed Florida, 4-0 in Gainesville back on Sept. 3. Clemson beat Florida, 4-3 on Oct. 27 in South Carolina.
Swanson Breaks Two Freshman Records . . .
Freshman forward Sarah-Gayle Swanson tied two UCLA freshman records in UCLA's 4-0 rout of Texas A&M this past Sunday. Her goal in Sunday's game gives her 14 goals and 32 points on the year, tying her with Traci Arkenberg who had 14 goals and 32 points in 1994.
Bruins Earn Highest NCAA Seed in Program History . . .
At No. 6, UCLA earns its highest seeding in the eight-year history of the program. This is UCLA's fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and the third straight year that the Bruins have received a first-round bye. Seven Pac-10 teams made the tournament, however the Bruins are the only team in the conference still alive.

Interviewed by Sally Hauser and Joan Brown, February 26, 1988
Mary Summers joined the County of Marin in 1941 and became the County's first Planning Director. During the 1950s she was a leader in the drive for a new Marin County Civic Center and helped to secure the Scettrini Ranch as the building site. She was a strong advocate for the selection of Frank Lloyd Wright as architect, and a member of the Civic Center Committee which met him in San Francisco in 1957. On March 25, 1958, the day Mr. Wright signed a contract with the County, she stood in his defense when a conservative faction of Marin residents accused him of being a communist.
During her tenure as Planning Director, Mrs. Summers oversaw the writing of master plans for the Stinson Beach-Bolinas area, the San Geronimo and Gallinas Valleys and the revision of the Novato master plan. Throughout her career, she was known as a conservationist.
After her retirement in 1962, Mrs. Summers became president of the Marin Conservation League and worked to establish the wildlife refuge at Richardson Bay. She died on August 30, 1988 at the age of 70.
In the excerpts that follow, Mary Summers tells of the need in the late 1950s for a new Marin County Civic Center and fairgrounds. She also describes Mr. Wright's first visit to the building site.
Above: Mary Summers at the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Civic Center, 1987.
What was it like to accompany Mr. Wright on his first visit to the Civic Center site in July of 1957?

From 2002 Album: "The Future Is Now".....
Non Phixion's Myspace:
Get Non Phixion's Music:
Non Phixion (pronounced "non-fiction") was a New York-based hardcore hip-hop group consisting of members Ill Bill, Goretex, Sabac Red, and DJ Eclipse.
In late 1994, MC Serch (of 3rd Bass fame) took his protege Sabac and teamed him up with DJ Eclipse and Ill Bill, thereby creating the group known as Non Phixion. Within six months Goretex, a childhood friend of Ill Bill, had joined the crew after freestyling for MC Serch. Six months later they had released their first single, "Legacy". It went on to sell over 10,000 copies worldwide.
MC Serch secured the group a deal with major label Geffen Records. Serch used half of the advance to build a studio for the group, but faced with a recent marriage and lack of money himself, as he was receiving no money up front from the Geffen deal, he went on to take a promotion job with Def Jam Records. His lack of time spent with the group was seen as disinterest from the label, however Non Phixion continued to make songs, often working with Ill Bill's brother Necro. Through independent distributor Fat Beats (whom DJ Eclipse also worked for), Serch kept releasing singles for the group and they continued to garner underground notoriety. Eventually a series of mis-communications between the group, Serch and Geffen over the whereabouts of money led to Non Phixion being dropped by the label.
Following their attempt at a major label release, the members of Non Phixion spent their time performing live in New York and around the world; opening for contemporaries such as Gang Starr, The Beatnuts and The Roots.[3] After 1998 saw the release of their "I Shot Reagan" 12" on Uncle Howie Records, Non Phixion secured a deal for a full-length with Matador Records, however, this never came to fruition. Around 2000, Rick Rubin was attempting to bring Non Phixion to Warner Bros. and executive produce their record, but this too never materialized and ultimately their debut LP The Future Is Now was released on Ill Bill's own Uncle Howie Records on March 26, 2002.
After the release of their seminal album, Non Phixion's members put out their first round of solo material: Ill Bill released What's Wrong with Bill? on March 2, 2004; this was followed by Sabacs Sabacolypse: A Change Gon' Come on June 15, 2004 and Goretexs The Art of Dying on September 7, 2004; all of their solo efforts were released on Necro's Psycho+Logical-Records. The following year, Ill Bill and Goretex released an album with Necro and Mr. Hyde as The Circle of Tyrants on September 13th. At the time there was talk of another full length Non Phixion album, called The Nuclear Truth, with the same producers and ideas being extended from The Future Is Now. Non Phixion went on indefinite hiatus in 2006 before a second LP was finished. Goretex left to develop his solo career, citing his own lack of professionalism and a number of legal issues. Sabac Red moved to Oakland to likewise pursue solo efforts. Ill Bill started a new group with a number of other emcees called La Coka Nostra. Ill Bill, Sabac Red and DJ Eclipse still often perform together, but they have not recorded as Non Phixion.

Thelonious Monk: 'Round Midnight (1947)
'Round Midnight
Thelonious Monk (piano)
The Complete Blue Note Recordings (Blue Note 30363)
Thelonious Monk (piano), Sahib Shihab (alto sax), Art Blakey (drums),
Bob Paige (bass).
Composed by Thelonious Monk.
Recorded: New York, November 21, 1947
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
Monk's initial cover of his best-known song came three years after Cootie Williams first recorded it with majestic trumpeting amid a big band and with nary a hint of bebop. Yet as Monk shows, a small group better befits "'Round Midnight." Using trumpet and sax to help establish haunting atmospherics, Monk carries the melody by himself (except for a 5-note phrase strikingly harmonized between piano and alto) and is the sole soloist. Listeners sometimes mistake Monk's deliberate fractures—by 1947 fully developed both instrumentally and compositionally—as mistakes or hesitation; they are neither. They're the probings of a visionary sculptor radically reshaping modern jazz.

Though we suppose it does snuggle our necks, we prefer to think of the Neck Snuggle ($17) from Urban 1972 as a cowl. Mainly because "snuggle" reminds us too much of "Snuggie," which reminds us of everything that's the antithesis of fashion. And the neck cowl, err, snuggle, in purple and black, is definitely a trendy piece. Wear it around your neck like an infinity scarf, or bring the back end up to keep your locks safe from the wind and snow. Either way, it's comfy and hip!

Just got a Mueller 4-16 x 50 illuminated mil dot and was going to put it on my 7mm Mag which has a so-so scope on it now. I thought I might be able to use it on a pig hunt, but it looks like I will not be using it for that in the near future. I have a new to me, used, Savage Mod 40 22 Hornet that has a 6-24 x 42 Tasco Mil Dot on it now and that is okay, but now I am thinking that I might like (and use) the Mueller on the Savage. I am on a coyote quest thee days. I have not checked out the ring situation thoroughly on either rifle yet.I did some reading last night about the 7mm Mag being used as a varmint gun. I used to reload for that rifle and came up with a good load for pig quite a few years ago. There are a couple of adjacent properties where a reach out rifle like the 7mm Mag could be used. Around my place the Savage would be the choice.So I am in a quandry now and I think the best solution would just be to get another Mueller and be very happy, but funding won't allow that now. I could put the Tasco on a 30-06 I have that needs a scope and be done with it.Anyway I am kicking this around and haven't settled on a good plan and I know ultimately it is just a matter of personal preference, but wanted to see if I was not taking something into consideration while I am deciding.Any suggestions?Thanks - Denny from Sebastopol, CA

Denny, put the scope on the hornet. The 4X low end will work better if you get close shots. And, close shots is what we hope for when calling.JMHO

We'll admit it. The T by Alexander Wang Classic Long Sleeve T-Shirt ($80) isn't the best bargain out there. But a good long-sleeve white tee is an investment. We use ours all the time, especially in the summer. It's a comfy weight and length, with just a bit of transparency. We throw it on over our swimsuits at the beach or our tanks at night when the weather cools. It's the one piece of clothing we always reach for when we leave the house, and that totally makes it worth the price tag.

Shirley Temple Black passed away Monday from natural causes, she was 85 years old. Best known for being a child star of the silver screen during the Great Depression and in her later years being appointed as an Ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia. During the peak of her career, she starred and co-starred in over forty films. When her career on the big screen began to cool off, Temple made the transition to the small screen with shows such as "Shirley Temple's Storybook" and "The Shirley Temple Show". In her later years she became involved in politics as a conservative Republican and later on served on several Board of Directors for corporations such as Walt Disney Corporation, Del Monte and Firemen's Fund Insurance.
Born on April 23, 1928 in Santa Monica, California. Shirley Temple's parents enrolled her Meglin's Dance School (a.k.a. Meglin Kiddies) an acting and dancing troupe. She was discovered by a talent scout and casting director for Educational Pictures. During her tenure at EP, Temple appeared in fifteen short subjects and one reelers. When the company went bankrupt she signed a contract with Fox and made films with other studios (as an actress on loan). Temple's breakout films was her small role in the musical "Stand Up and Cheer!" Her musical number stole the show with the number "Baby Takes A Bow" and helped her become a star. She began to co-star and star in films such as "Little Miss Marker", "Baby Takes a Bow" and "Now and Forever".
Due to her rising success and huge box office numbers, Fox Films decided to produce films that showcased the talents of Shirley Temple (the films were sappy, sugary sweet and very uplifting). The first of these was the film "Bright Eyes" which featured her famous musical number "On the Good Ship Lollipop" (the song was a huge success and sold a half a million copies of sheet music). In 1935, Temple was awarded with the first ever Juvenile Academy Award for child stars. When Fox Films merged with 20th Century Pictures, Temple's career continued to soar. She was the studio's biggest star and she was becoming a well paid star and made even more from merchandising and endorsements. At the peak of her career, she starred and co-starred in box office hits such as "Heidi", "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm", "Dimples", "Stowaway", "Curly Top", "Wee Willie Winkie", "The Little Colonel". "The Littlest Rebel", "Captain January" and "The Little Princess".
As she grew older, her box office appeal began to fade. She tried several comebacks as a teenage actress but her draw as a star wasn't like it used to be. After a two year hiatus from acting, Temple made a return to acting when she signed a contract with producer David O. Selznick and co-starred in the films "Since You Went Away" and "I'll Be Seeing You". She made a few more films as a star but her shine at the box office failed to meet expectations and retired from Hollywood in 1950. Eight years later she made a return to show business by hosting and starring in the television show "Shirley Temple's Storybook" which lasted for a few seasons before being cancelled. During the late sixties Temple became a conservative Republican spokesperson and unsuccessfully ran for congress in 1967 but a couple of years later was appointed by President Nixon as a representative to the 24th U.N. General Assembly. She was appointed as an Ambassador to Ghana in 1974, 18th Chief Protocol of the United States in 1976 and Ambassador to Czechoslovakia in 1989.
Shirley Temple married twice. Her first marriage was to actor John Agar on 1945 at the age of 17. They divorced two years later. In 1950 she met and married Charles Black, a Naval Intelligence Officer. The two remained married for over fifty-four years until Mr. Black's death in 2005. Temple is survived by her three children. Shirley Temple was Hollywood's first big child star and a huge money maker for 20th Century Fox. She changed the way stars were used within the rigid Hollywood system and paved the way on how stars could make money from merchandising and endorsements. Shirley Temple was a pioneering star who's contributions to Hollywood and cheering up the nation during the Great Depression will surely be missed.

On April 22, 1969, Robin Knox-Johnston completed the Sunday Times Golden Globe race and became the first person to sail solo non-stop around the world. To set the record he sailed aboard 'Suhaili', his 31-foot ketch, from June 14, 1968, and April 22, 1969.
"It is hard to believe 45 years have passed since the day I completed that first historic circumnavigation. I'm still incredibly proud of the achievement, which was the start of many memorable moments that I am proud of throughout my years at sea," said Sir Robin.
Knighted in 1995, Sir Robin is one of Britain's most celebrated mariners. He was the UK's Yachtsman of the Year 3 times, the ISAF sailor of the Year with Peter Blake in 1994 and in 2007 one of the first 6 inductees into the ISAF Hall of Fame.
In 1996 he created the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race to offer people from all walks of life and ages the experience of ocean racing and the opportunity to complete a circumnavigation.
This autumn Sir Robin will compete in a solo transatlantic race, the classic Route du Rhum.
"From time to time I just like being on my own at sea. You know, I just like to be there—just me, the sea and the boat. I'm very relaxed with it. I just wanted to go back and do another race while I still can. I've got the boat. I'm still reasonably fit and I thought, 'Well, better go do this race now,'" said the 75-year-old Sir Robin.

So today we have a post for our friends on the other side of the pond, a pretty over-the-top British homage to Kate and William. The apartment is only 107 square feet, but packs in a small kitchenette, dining area and a area for socializing. I am assuming the back couch somehow converts into a bed. The bold colors certainly makes for a great space, but I do wonder about natural light, I don't see any windows which a downside, however being that it was done in an exhibition hall, it might not make sense.
This is one of the smallest apartments I have seen to date, at 78 square feet its pretty extreme! This being in New York its obvious Luke eats out most meals, but still finds room for a small fridge. He actually built all the furnishing himself, including the bed which is pretty neat.
I saw this apartment a while back, but after viewing the photos and not finding a square footage, I thought it was a larger apartment. I then got an email from a reader (thanks Dallas!) to an article which stated it was 366 square feet. We all know the power of light color pallets, natural light and combined that with a skillful photographer who makes it look big, this is a pretty neat tiny apartment.
The apartment is in Barcelona Spain, noted the drawers built into the stairs, also the floating stairs made of metal allows for more storage space. The contrasting wood paneling is just inexpensive plywood done really well, it is a pretty interesting choice, but I really like it!
I found this dishwasher that is designed to be a single serving dishwasher, which may be too small, but for some it may be right. I plan to just hand wash most things, but when it comes to cutting raw meat on a cutting board, I'd like to have something a little more. Check out this single serving dishwasher with a minimalist design.
I found this story over at CNN, its about cage homes in Hong Kong. If you haven't heard about these, they are essentially bunkbeds that are sealed off with cage wire so that people can lock them when they aren't there. They are the size of a single bed and are about 4 feet tall for each "unit". You have to share a bathroom with everyone, but the kicker is this, guess how much it costs for one of these in Hong Kong? $167 a month!
There has been recent outcry about the deplorable living conditions which a large number of people live in. Above is a photo of one of these cage homes that was used in an art exhibit to raise awareness of the growing trend. Among the cage homes, cubical farms have been cropping up where people pay to live in, about the same rate. In a city where houses have sold as much as $9,200 per square foot, no wonder why people go to these extremes. The questions is, what is the solution? With such densely populated urban centers, space is getting less and less accessible.

How to get rid of cyan tint
Posted 30 August 2010 - 11:52 AM
Posted 30 August 2010 - 12:26 PM
I have an Olympus 8080 camera. All my pictures which have significant ambient light turn out with a strong cyan tint in the RAW file. See example below. No problems when strobe is main light source. I can't figure out how to get rid of this tint using Adobe Elements 6 without turning to black and white. Is there something I can do when taking the picture to not generate it? If not, is there something I can do in Elements to get rid of it.
Take a look here
Restore Reds where I mention some ways to remove the cast, but it is in Photoshop. I think Elements has some similar things. Also shoot RAW in the Olympus (though the recycle is slow) Lastly, use strobes and get close, that is the best way.
Couple more links
Posted 30 August 2010 - 12:45 PM
Open the RAW file in Camera Raw, select the White balance eyedropper and then click on something in the foreground that should be white or grey.
That should provide a good starting point to then fine tune with the temp/tint sliders.
Posted 31 August 2010 - 08:17 AM
Posted 11 September 2010 - 11:39 AM
In elements 5 I used: Enhance, adjust color, remove color cast. This seems to be the same function, though possibly not as strong as that you used in RAW. Since getting the second strobe I use this very seldom and now tweak using layers and levels

Do you recognize this big boy? His Facebook thread is here.
The pit mix showed up at the All About Labs, Inc. facility in Vilonia.
He's a neutered male, with no collar or microchip. He does seem to enjoy the company of other dogs.
If you know this dog, please contact Gina Hartsell via Facebook.
This Facebook group page is assisting, with information on rescue groups, where to have pets scanned or treated and other up to date information. Residents who find an animal are asked to hold onto it until it's owner is located.
If the thread in the first paragraph doesn't take you to the lost or found pet, please check the albums on the group page.
Please leave a phone number where you can be reached. Don't depend on people being able to reach you on Facebook.
Also remember to be very careful who you release a "found" pet to. Sadly, in other disasters, people have taken advantage of the situation and taken custody of pets that did not belong to them.
People who have lost everything don't need to deal with nefarious folks also.. These disasters bring out people who scam, so please beware
Examiner articles are unpublished after pets are reunited with family. This simplifies keeping up with the many pets still needing help finding

overviewReferred to by many names, including Camel Cowfish, Thornback, Thornbacked Boxfish, Helmet Cowfish, and Hovercraft Boxfish, the Helmet Cowfish requires the care of an experienced aquarist. The Helmet Cowfish has a rather drab, pale tan body with random blotches of blue and occasional black dots. The eyes are large and blue.
The Helmet Cowfish should have a minimum of a 180 gallon tank. Use caution if placing it in a reef tank as it will often nibble at tubeworms. When stressed, the Helmet Cowfish releases a poisonous substance, called ostracitoxin, from its mucous glands which will kill other fish in the tank very quickly.
Very little success has been achieved in breeding this fish in the aquarium setting.
When introduced into a tank, the Helmet Cowfish can be fed a diet of live brine shrimp or bloodworms. After acclimatization, chopped squid, clams, mussels, and herbivore preparations can be fed. This fish has the peculiar habit of coming to the surface and spitting when it is hungry.
Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1" to 2"; Medium: 2" to 3; Large: 3" to 4"

Actress Kristy Swanson has started her own line of golf dresses for women. On April 10, Examiner got the chance to talk to her in an exclusive phone interview about this new venture. Her clothing line is called aDRESSitGOLF and you can check out their designs on their website.
The website for aDRESSitGOLF just opened up two weeks ago. At this time it is only for sale on their website but they are planning to open it up to Pro shops at golf courses and more. They are working hard on getting it out to the world where everyone can look great when they golf. You should start seeing it in stores and possibly even on home shopping networks soon.
This idea just came to Kristy one day. She is a huge fan of designer Eva Varro and wears her stuff on the red carpet all of the time. While going through her closet to pack for a charity golf tournament she picked out a retro dress from Eva. It had a belt on it and was different than the stuff you normally see on the golf course but she wore it anyway. Kristy said that men and women both went crazy over the idea.
After she got home, Swanson went to her friend Eva Varro and asked her about the idea of working together on this line of clothing. Eva loved the idea and they got started on it. aDRESSitGolf was born and is a great line of golf clothing for women that you can wear on the golf course but also works great for dinner or lunch while you are out. It took them about two years to get it all going.
You can check out aDRESSitGolf on Twitter as well. Keep your eyes out for it coming to stores soon and don't miss Kristy in her new Hallmark movie on April 19 at 8 p.m. CST.

Reviews for Bacon Cheese Wreath
"Everyone always wants me to bring my regular cheese ball to parties because it is so good. This year I made this bacon cheese wreath and it disappeared in minutes! Everyone raved about it! For a non-Christmas event, I'm going to shape it in a ball and roll in bacon!"
"Add 1/2 tsp of garlic powder to give it a wonderful flavor-it was too bland for us and this was the perfect touch. We omitted the pimento and parsley b/c no one wanted it!"
"I actually made these for Christmas eve last year and it was gone very quickly ! My friends sister hunted me down for the recipe on Christmas Day ! They all loved it!"
"Easter egg shape sounds good - suggestions on how to decorate? thanks"
"I have made this recipe for over 25 years and my Great Aunt made it for the family before that. It is a must have at all family get-togethers. We also change the shape to fit the theme of the party.My recipe calls for Miracle Whip though instead of regular mayonnaise and I think it does add a little extra flavor. The end decoration is different also, as we sprinkle chopped parsley over the entire wreath to look green and then use strips of roasted red pepper to make the bow. Try this recipe, you will love it."

In honor and support of top women professional golfers competing in the LPGA International Crown golf tournament, including Yani Tseng from Taiwan (former World No. 1) and American Paula Creamer (former World No. 2), Ambassador Lyushun Shen of the Republic of China (Taiwan) hosted a fabulous Mongolian BBQ, complete with drinks, food, and merriment on July 26th, 2014.
Taiwan was one of eight countries qualified to compete in the inaugural Internal Crown, a unique country-versus-country golf tournament that was held on July 24-27 at the Caves Valley Golf Club.
The BBQ dinner event took place at the gorgeous and historic Twin Oaks Estate, owned by Taiwan which is represented by TECRO, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office, here in DC. The menu featured an elaborate Mongolian BBQ, where guests could put together their own bowls of spices, sauces, proteins, and veggies, which were then sautéed by experienced Chefs on heated griddles outside and then served steaming hot to the excited diners. Guests were given a ticket once they handed over their bowls of uncooked ingredients so that they could be sure to get their right bowl after it was cooked. Pan-fried noodles and fried rice were served as well, as was an assortment of fruits and small desserts. Wine was of course in abundance, and there were even a few cans of special Taiwanese beer.
Mongolian BBQ is actually historically Taiwanese, not Mongolian, and first made its appearance in Taipei in the 1950s. It is therefore very fitting that the cuisine was served at the Embassy for a fabulous event honoring Taiwanese sports celebrities!

DENNIS ZALESKI, of Montreal, Wis., helps cut apart a downed tree in his neighbor Steve Schurtter's yard Friday morning after a severe storm rolled through Thursday night.
MONTREAL, Wis. — Trees and power lines were lost to the forces of wind and gravity last night after a thunderstorm rolled through Montreal, Wis ., Thursday evening leaving hundreds without power for nearly an hour.
According to Xcel Energy, after the storm hit around 7 p.m. Thursday night, 912 customers were without power. By 8 p.m ., the majority of those customers had power reinstated.
Despite power coming back on for many residents in Montreal, some spent Friday morning cutting up trees and large branches littering the streets and their front yards.
Steve Schurtter, who lives on Michigan Avenue in Montreal, said he wasn't in town during the storm, but returned home later Thursday night to find a large tree down in his yard.
"I knew that it needed pruning, but not like this," Schurtter said.
Montreal fire chief Louis "Cookie" Laguna said the storm blew in quickly.
"We had a business meeting for the department at 6 p.m ., and the storm blew in around 7:15 or 7:20 p.m.," Laguna said. "We had to call the whole department out."
It is believed more than 20 trees fell during the storm.
"There were a whole bunch of them," Laguna said. "They were on houses, across cars and on power lines. The city has been cleaning them up since (Friday) morning."
According to Iron County Emergency Management director Stacy Ofstad, the storm cut across from Montreal onto County D and went into the northern part of Carey and Oma.
"In the Center Drive location there was apparently a power pole that was damaged and down lines and trees across the road," Ofstad said.
"There were some trees down in Oma, but there was an extensive amount of trees down in Montreal."
According to the National Weather Service website, a resident in Gile, Wis ., reported pea-to quarter-sized hail in addition to the damaging winds.
"For us, we just basically assisted Xcel Energy in making sure that nobody was hurt from the power lines," Laguna said. "It's good that nobody was hurt because of this storm."
Despite the damage, neighbors helped each other across the city.
"My neighbor Dennis Zaleski is helping me cut my tree," Schurtter said. "I am very thankful to have such an amazing guy right next door."
Local businesses also helped where they could. On Facebook, Cary Mine Convenience posted on its page Thursday night, "Montreal, many people have come in for ice. The store is closed, but I left the outside ice cooler open for you. If you need some, come and get it. Stop by and pay tomorrow. Best of luck."
Montreal mayor Mitch Koski responded on the social networking site to the store, "Acts of kindness like yours are greatly appreciated. Thank you for thinking of the people who many need a little help."

About Childhood Cancer
We're leading the way to a cure
Overall, 80 percent of childhood cancer cases can be successfully treated, but our work will not stop until no child is lost to cancer. At Children's Cancer Research Fund, we're working every day to fund lifesaving research that leads to a cure.
Learn more about different types of childhood cancers and their treatments:
What is Cancer
Cancer is a disease in which the body's cells grow abnormally (mutate). Normally, healthy cells grow at a steady rate. But with cancer, the cells grow out of control. Read More
Types of Childhood Cancer
Childhood cancers are mostly those of the white blood cells (leukemia), brain, bone, and the lymphatic system (lymphoma). Each type of childhood cancer behaves differently, but all develop because of an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Read More
Treatments and Therapies
The remarkable quality of stem cells is that they can develop into any kind of cell in the human body. These "building block" cells can also renew, or replicate, themselves, over and over again, creating millions of new cells. Researchers see great promise in these traits. Read More
Even when treatment for childhood cancer yields positive results, young patients and their families must reckon with significant changes to their bodies and their lifestyles. Learn more about the many different aspects of life after treatment. Read More


text: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement today saying that the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is following with great concern and apprehension reports that the sanctity of the Holy Qu'ran has been violated on several occasions at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Kingdom urges the concerned United States authorities to launch a prompt investigation into these allegations. If these allegations proved true, it would be necessary to hold those responsible accountable for their actions and deter any repetition of such actions which are offensive to the Muslim community worldwide.

How to Transplant "Hens and Chicks" (Sempervivum)
"Hens and Chicks" is the common name given to various plants that have larger plants (hens) that produced smaller plants (chicks) as the plant spreads over the ground. The most common variety of Hens and Chicks are from the plant species of Sempervivum or Houseleeks. The plant is considered a ground cover and a succulent.
Each summer the plant will produce blooms and spread along the ground, up walls, or over the sides of a flower pot. Many types of Sempervivum exist and each looks slightly different. Using different varieties can help gardeners achieve unique looks to flower beds, patio planters, or in garden walls.
Many varieties are sold locally at garden supply stores, Home Depot, Walmart, or online stores like Gurneys. Since the plant reproduces so well, it can be shared with other gardeners quite easily. Transplanting should be accomplished in early or late summer before the threat of first frost to allow the roots to take hold.
Propagation of Sempervivum
The longer the "Hens and Chicks" are in a location the larger the coverage area. The plants reproduce by seeds after the plant blooms and vegetatively by offsetting around the base of the rosette. This creates the hens and chicks effect. As the plant matures, more chicks are produced and each develops it's own root system and becomes independent of the parent plant. Once the root structure has grown, the chicks can be separated from the parent plant and transplanted to new locations in your garden. The following will provide instructions for transplanting a section of "Hens and Chicks" from a mature plant.
Transplanting "Hens and Chicks"
Step 1: Find a location in full sun and clear away any debris or vegetation.
Step 2: Turn over the soil to loosen and allow the roots of the Sempervivum to take hold after transplanting.
Step 3: Using a shovel, carefully remove a clump of the rosettes for transplanting.
Step 4: Place rosettes in loosened soil and firmly pack and cover the roots.
Step 5: Water the Sempervivum generously.
The plants should feel right at home in the new location. During dry seasons, water the plants every few days until the roots are secure in the ground (about 7-10 days). Transplanting this type of ground cover is easy and can be very successful. Depending on how much sun the plant receives daily will produce a different look to the succulent and eventually the plant may look slightly different than the parent rosettes.

Nintendo had plenty of big announcements to make during their special E3 presentation earlier today, including the confirmation that a Mario Maker is coming to the Wii U. This title had been leaked several days ago, and seems to be everything we've wanted for the last few years. Nintendo has released a short trailer of this game in action, and it looks to be a must-have title for fans of platformers.
At its heart, Mario Maker is a basic level editor, but it appears that there's enough depth to it for us to create the crazy levels we've always dreamt of. Players will have the ability to drag and drop different elements, such as blocks and pipes, into the level, using the touchscreen to alter their size and placement. Aspiring game designers will be able to quickly edit their projects until everything is perfect.
Nintendo's E3 page for Mario Maker states that fans will be able to combine different elements to create things that have never appeared within an actual Mario game, such as a flying Piranha Plant. The trailer also shows Mario picking up a skinny version of a super mushroom, causing him to become slender as he grows tall. We're not sure how much fans will be able to customize the different items, though it seems like there will be several options to choose from.
Possibly the most exciting aspect of the trailer was the reveal that players will have the option to switch between retro graphics and those more akin to New Super Mario Bros. U. The ability to switch between these radically different graphical styles with the touch of an icon is sure to add even more depth to such an interesting new title. Nintendo hasn't announced a price for Mario Maker yet, nor have they stated whether it will be a full retail release or an eShop exclusive.

Mixed reactions from readers about Concord schools' upcoming referendum
Concord Community Schools' referendum is coming in May, and The Elkhart Truth's readers are split about whether the schools need more money or further cuts to their budget.
This spring, Concord Community Schools is asking taxpayers to vote for a temporary increase in property taxes to cover some of its losses after Indiana capped property taxes. There will be an additional tax levy of $0.405 or every $100 of assessed property value if the referendum passes in May.
Two groups have been formed in support and opposition to the referendum. 'Yes for Concord Kids' is trying to bring attention to the school district's needs and financial struggles. 'Vote No in Concord' is against the referendum, saying that schools should make more dramatic cuts to their budget rather than ask for more taxpayer money.
The Elkhart Truth also approached Wayne Stubbs, superintendent of Concord schools, to answer some of our reader's frequently asked questions.
When we posted the story about 'Vote No in Concord' to our website and on social media, we had a number of responses from readers who agreed and disagreed with the group. Here's what some of them had to say. (We have not edited the comments and have left them as they appear in our stories' comments section and on social media.)
"Penny wise and dollar foolish. Don't invest in schools and drive down property values as MANY choose where they live by the quality of the schools and the programs that are offered. State cuts have been DRASTIC. State taxes have gone down. Please get out and VOTE for our kids--our future. You know those against the referendum will be out." - Beth Kirkpatrick (Comment taken from Facebook)
"I see new and remodeled facilities in concord I have 2 children in concord schools I would love a look at the financial records before people decide if it's right to raise property taxes in the area. Hard times have gripped most of the country and cuts are to be expected, but some of the complaints on this link from the staff at the older facilities in concord school corporation concerns me and makes me question the budgeting of the funds they currently receive." - Joe Miller (Comment taken from Facebook)
"Give the schools the money, people pay to live in great school districts for a reason, My children have lost all fieldtrips except for walking to Oxbow park, i dont know about the rest of you but who didnt love fieldtrips. And i'm over this choice of school crap, you want to go to our schools and use our transportation then either pay to live in our school district or pay the price for the privlege to attend!! Our schools are over crowed because of this and we cant afford to lose anymore staff!!!" - Heather Maesch Vanschoyck (Comment taken from Facebook)
"I don't understand how a Third World Country like Sri Lanka can pass a 15% across the board flat tax with massive public support that solely funds public education. Our country is so much more wealthy that we could spend 5% of our income flat to fund much more. For 15% we could send every child in Indiana through the University level with a full scholarship. I wonder how many people in Sri Lanka could dream of even having a car at all let alone an old one. Americans like this guy have grown so selfish...kids come first and Elkhart County is incredibly wealthy relative to the rest of the world. We invented public education. I am not opposed to sports programs being cut but it's dumb that school is not year round and that teachers are not paid much more..there is no job more important." - Tom Butler (Comment taken from story's comments section)
"There are many places to enjoy extracurricluar activities. Boys and Girls Clubs, Brownies, Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, taxpayer paid for Tolson Center in Elkhart, YWCA, YMCA, many church and community organizations of which many are free, kids playing with friends in taxpayer paid for parks, kids playing and "hanging out" with friends in their neighborhood. Kids could even help around their house or help their grandparents to keep occupied and learn how to beome caring productive citizens. Education FIRST as that is what helps one go to college, a trade school or the work force. Teachers and schools are to TEACH, to EDUCATE, not be parents or babysitters. When funds are limited, choices must be made. If schools cannot bus the students to school, schools certainly cannot afford or need other activities as schools say without bussing, the kids won't be able to get to school anyway." - PKurpgeweit (Comment taken from story's comments section)
What are your thoughts about Concord schools' upcoming referendum? Do you think schools need more money or more further cuts to their budgets?

Fun with Sun Ray, 3D, Oracle VM x86 and SRIOV
By Wcoekaer-Oracle on Dec 21, 2010
One of the things I like about my job is that I get to play around with stuff and make use of the technologies we work on in my teams. Sort of my own little playground. It allows me to study the products in great detail and put them to use in ways that individual product teams don't always intend them to be used for :) but that makes it fun. I have a lot of this set up at home because... work is sort of hobby and I just like to tinker with it.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I was looking at my sun ray rig at home and how well 3D works. Google Earth and some basic opengl tests like glxspheres combined with virtualgl. It resulted in some very cool demos recorded with my little camera (sorry for the crappy quality of the video :-) :
OVDC (soft client) on my mac
Sun Ray 2FS
Never mind the hickups during zoom, that's because I was using the scrollwheel on my mouse and I can't scroll uninterrupted :) Anyway, this is quite cool !
The setup for this was the following :
Sun Ray on LAN, Sun Ray Server 5 latest installed on OL5.5 inside a VM running on Oracle VM 2.2 (hardware virt, with a virtual network (vif)) and the virtualgl rendering happened on another box (wopr5) that runs linux on a little atom D520 with an ION2 gpu.
So network goes from Sun Ray to Sun Ray Server to wopr5 and back. Given that this is full screen 3D it puts a good amount of load on the network and it's pretty cool that SRS was just a VM :)
So, separately, I had written a little blog entry about using sriov and oracle vm a while back. link to sriov blog entry
Last night when I came home I wanted to do some more playing around with SRIOV and live migrate. To do this, I wanted to set up a VM with 2 network interfaces, one virtual network (vif) and then one that's one of the SRIOV virtual functions from my network card.
Inside the guest they show as eth0 and eth1, and then bond them using a standard linux bonding device (bond0 here) with active active links.
The goal here is that on live migrate, we would detach the VF (eth1 in guest in this case), the bond would then just hum along on eth0 (vif) we can live migrate the VM and then on the other server after the migrate completes we re-attach a VF to the VM there and eth1 pops up again and the bond uses both eth0/eth1 to do its work.
So, to set this up, I figured, why not use my sun ray server VM because the 3D work generates a nice network load and is very latency/timing sensitive.
In the end, I ran glxspheres on my sunray server (vm) displaying on my sun ray 2 fs and while that was running, I did my live migrate test of this vm (unplug pci VF, migrate, reconnect vf) and guess what, it just kept running :) veryyyyyy cool. now, it was supposed to, but it's always nice to see it actually work, for real.
Here's a diagram of it.
No gimics - just real technology at work !
enjoy :)

First, Cindy Crawford was a supermodel. Then she became a super businesswoman associated with many international brands, filling in what scant spare time she had by writing books, creating skincare lines and making exercise videos.
Most recently, she's turned her talents to furniture design. And after debuting her new collection in the United States 18 months ago, she has now brought it to Canada, at The Brick stores.
"Some are pieces from the original launch; we're also adding collections as we go along," says Crawford, on the phone from her home in Malibu, Calif.
"The new partnership (with The Brick) benefits from our experience with other retailers -- we know what's selling." Crawford says the move into furniture was prompted by the challenge, and adds that she feels like she's "getting a college education" while she's doing it.
"It was not a natural jump. Obviously everybody has a home and I've always spent time decorating mine -- especially when you travel a lot, your home is really your refuge. And a couple of my homes had been photographed for Architectural Digest over the years," she explains.
"My main partner in the U.S., Rooms To Go, the president was aware of me as a model and contacted me, and said, would I be interested?" The result is seven collections, ranging from the traditional to the urban and hip to the casual and slip-covered.
"We have a line derived from some of the furniture I have in my home in the (Beachside) collection. That's the way we live, the playroom where the kids hang out," she says.
"My main focus started with accessibility and quality. Leather is great quality but it can also be expensive. At $2,200 for a leather sectional, that's achievable." She says she's really designing with someone like herself in mind -- "a 41- year-old mother of two who likes to entertain and who wants people to feel comfortable in my house.
"That said, my husband designs bars and nightclubs and he likes the hip factor," Crawford continues. "I run things by him." Crawford says the furniture collections have grown more rapidly than she'd anticipated.
But she's already added rugs and tabletops (linens, plates and accessories).
"If there's room and the plate is clear, we'll see where it goes next."

A Romanian man who was convicted of forgery in Medina last year now faces a wire fraud charge in federal court.
Marian Potcovaru, 29, is scheduled to appear Feb. 2 in federal court in Pittsburgh on a charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Federal documents show Medina County sheriff's deputies, the Medina County Drug Task Force and Immigration and Customs Enforcement went to Motel 6, 3122 Eastpointe Drive in Medina Township, on Dec. 30, 2009, on a report about a man who did not resemble the photograph on the passport presented to the motel manager.
Potcovaru, who was in a room at the motel, told authorities someone in Michigan recruited him to pick up money wired by people who thought they were making legitimate purchases, according to federal documents.
He said he would pick up the money using a fake passport at transferring locations.
He was told to keep 15 percent of the money and send the rest to unknown people in Romania, the documents show.
According to information provided by the FBI, 54 wire transfers were picked up in Pennsylvania and Ohio between Dec. 1 and 26, 2009, with Potcovaru's passport number. The transfers amounted to $144,189.42.
He reportedly told authorities he was scheduled to pick up $2,700 via MoneyGram at Giant Eagle in Medina from a Tennessee man who thought he was buying a motorcycle.
Potcovaru also allegedly showed officers how he would change the name on his French passport using rub-on transfer sheets and an ink pen to trace letters.
Sheriff's deputies charged Potcovaru with forgery.
He later pleaded no contest in common pleas court and was sentenced to six months in the Medina County Jail.
Federal court records show he was arrested by FBI agents June 25, the day he was released from jail.
He was free on $20,000 bond shortly thereafter.
Potcovaru's lawyer, Patrick Nightingale, said his client is staying in the Pittsburgh area.

Spanish Property » Spain / Spanish Real Estate
By Spanish Property / 2011-10-16 16:12:06
If you are one of those savvy investors looking for GREAT Spanish property bargains, then you may want to consider the possibility of visiting one of the many Spanish property auctions which take place throughout Spain.
Properties which are listed for sale at a Spanish property auction are generally owned by individuals who need a quick sale. This could be personal or financial reasons. Many of the properties which are listed for financial reasons have either been repossessed by the Banks or are on the verge of being repossessed by the Banks as the owner can no longer afford the mortgage repayments. Between 2000 and 2008, many Spanish property investors purchased off-plan with a view to either renting the property out or flipping the property before completion, thereby capitalising on price increases and avoiding any need to pay sales tax (IVA) on the purcahse. This has forced the Banks to repossess the properties and sell them - either direct or through approved agencies.
This has resulted in some excellent opportunities to invest in Spanish property at prices well below their current market value. And one of the main advantages of buying a bank repossession through a Spanish property auction is that they generally come with a 90% mortgage subject to the buyers status. All of this can be arranged when the terms of the property sale are finalised.
So, if you are interested in getting on the Spanish property ladder, there is no better time than now with some excellent opportunities available - from studio apartments to luxury detached villas with a swimming pool and ample land for a beautiful garden to relax in!
For 1000's of Spanish properties at GREAT prices, please visit www.theleader.info/spanish-property/ or call +34 96 897 1860 for sound investment advice from leading property experts.

Is there a workaround for this bug?
Dominic Steinitz <dominic <at> steinitz.org>
AFAICT this bug fix http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7239 did not make it into 7.6.1. Also I am happily working on the Haskell Platform with 7.4.1 and I'd rather avoid upgrading if possible. Is there a workaround?
