Your house can't go any higher without the approval of municipal authorities.
Ron North, manager of development and regulatory services for the City of Victoria, outlines some of the regulations that govern house-raising in the city, where one to two such projects go up every month.
1. The first thing homeowners should confirm is whether plans fall within height restrictions. The raised house must not be more than 7.6 metres high, just shy of 25 feet, measured from the midpoint of the slope of the roof calculated on the average grade inside.
2. The price of the building permit is calculated at 1.25 per cent of the project cost -- or almost $2,000 for a $150,000 house-raising.
3. The foundation must be approved by a municipal inspector or a professional engineer if the inspector balks. Many old homes in Victoria have rubble foundations.
"In almost no cases is it," Tim Agar, manager of Horizon Pacific Contracting, says. That's because most foundations pre-1990 were in the strip form, which is a simple, vertical wall of concrete. Without a two foot wide base on it with an eight inch vertical wall coming out of it, they won't get the nod from any municipality or structural engineer, he says.
4. Many older homes have no perimeter drains. Once the lower floor becomes living space rather than storage space, a perimeter drainage system needs to be installed.
5. Most, but not all, houses are connected to the city storm drains. If not, the connection costs $5,000. If a sewer pipe is installed in the same trench, the price is $6,700.
6. Most raised houses include a lower-floor bathroom, which means inadequate three-inch sewer pipes must be replaced by four-inch pipes.
7. Most old homes will require new water connections -- an 18-millimetre pipe costs $2,900 and a larger 25-mm pipe with much better flow costs $3,450.
8. The cost of an electrical service upgrade is estimated at $2,500.
9. The city does not allow old unlined chimneys to be re-installed so most house-raisings entail a new chimney and conversion of wood fireplaces to gas.
10. North stresses that city staff is "more than willing to help" at the planning stage and get a much better understanding of issues when homeowners come to city hall in person. Cost of a plan search: $25.

With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
Picnic for the Planet
Celebrate Earth Day!
Set a World Record!
Join us this Earth Day & set the record for the world's largest picnic.
Earth is an amazing planet, and we're taking it out for lunch! The Nature Conservancy is celebrating Earth Day by hosting the second annual Picnic for the Planet and connecting people around the world through the food they love. Host or join a picnic in honor of our planet, the delicious food it provides and the wonderful people with whom we share it. This is truly a global event and may be the largest picnic ever.
The Nature Conservancy is hosting picnics around the world including in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Washington, D.C., Arusha, Tanzania, Beijing and Melbourne, Australia. If there is not a Nature Conservancy picnic happening locally, you can celebrate by hosting your own – just RSVP online, pick a day, gather some friends and enjoy a delicious meal outside.
If you gather 25 picnickers at your event on April 22, your picnic can be part of the Guinness World Record® attempt, as The Nature Conservancy plans to set the record for the largest multi-venue picnic in a 24-hour period. You can have fun, honor the Earth and be part of history. Picnic hosts are encouraged to turn their picnics into fundraisers to help protect the outdoor places we love.
"In a time where many people think their food comes from a grocery store or a drive-thru window, it is important to learn about where our food comes from," said Dr. M. Sanjayan, lead scientist for The Nature Conservancy. "Thanks to the popularity of locavores, farmers' markets and farm co-ops, people want to know the story of their food and if it's good for them, the economy and the planet. Picnic for the Planet is an opportunity to get outside, eat locally and eat green."
The Conservancy is partnering with Cooking Channel and SUBWAY® restaurants to raise awareness and share Picnic for the Planet events with their viewers and customers. During the month of April, Cooking Channel will share picnic tips on-air and online, and SUBWAY® restaurants are giving out reusable bags designed in partnership with The Nature Conservancy in their Fresh Fit for Kids meals and will be promoting the event through their social media outlets.
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) has accepted a commitment to action for Picnic for the Planet. This commitment allows the Conservancy to find new and innovative supporters for the event and as a result, the world's largest retailer, Walmart, is supporting Picnic for the Planet by engaging its workforce and promoting the event to its 1.4 million employees in the United States.
The Nature Conservancy launched Picnic for the Planet in 2011 to nurture our connection to the planet and the food it provides. Last year's Picnic was a great success with thousands of people joining more than 600 picnics in 61 countries on all seven continents. Picnic for the Planet is part of The Nature Conservancy's All Hands on Earth campaign which aims to build an active, global community for the environment and provide everyday ways for people to get involved in creating a healthier earth.

Introducing GlassFish Update Center
By Nazrul on May 23, 2007
I have been involved with the GlassFish Update Center project for last few months. Now, I can finally share what I was up to...
Updatecenter (Screencast) is an open source project hosted @ java.net. The initial release with GlassFish V2 is focusing on providing simple download and installation experience of additional applications for GlassFish. If you have used any of the auto updates features in Windows, Mac, Google Updater, Ubuntu or NetBeans; then you would understand GlassFish Update Center easily.
The Update Center functionality in GlassFish is implemented across two tiers. On the server side, we have Update Center modules and corresponding catalog XML file (see DTD). The client side is part of GlassFish V2 installation. When started, Update Center client connects to predefined Update Center server URL. It then downloads available catalog file, compares it to local installed component registry and uses catalog information to show components available for installation or update. Afterwards, based on user's selection, components are downloaded and installed.
Currently, we have the following components integrated with GlassFish V2 UR1:
- Java EE BluePrints
- Java EE 5 Samples
- Java EE 5 Tutorial
- Java EE 5 API Documentation
- Open ESB
- Open ESB BluePrints
- Access Manager 7.1
- Access Manager BluePrints
- Portlet Container
- Web Services for Remote Portlet
- Portlet Container BluePrints
- Sun Web Developer Pack
- jMaki (blog)
- Jersey (blog)
- jRubbyOnRails (blog)
- Phobos (blog)
- Roller (screencast, blog)
- XWiki (blog)
To try GlassFish Update Center, install GlassFish V2 (screencast, associated blog). Then go to install-root/glassfish/updatecenter/bin and invoke updatetool (or updatetool.bat). Update Center UI will come up. If you don't see anything on the Available Software tab, you may need to set the connection proxy information on the Preferences tab (more details). Refer to the Getting Started Guide for more details.
On the Available Software tab, if you select Java EE BluePrints, Java EE 5 Samples, Java EE 5 Tutorial and Java EE 5 API Documentation and click on Install button, you will be able to convert your GlassFish installation into the Java EE 5 SDK with one click! Refer to this blog by Rajeshwar for detailed steps and post install locations of the installed modules.
Give GlassFish Update Center a try! Let us know about your experience at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hans Blix: The Iranian threatThe former UN weapons inspector discusses Iran's nuclear programme and how to prevent another war in the region.http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/03/2012323161458267958.html
Hans Blix surely has views that should not be dismissed as rhetoric given his experience, expertise and global reputation in this area. He tried to pour cold water over US and British claims of WMDs(sic) in Iraq. If our war-mongering leaders had genuinely listened to him many many lives would have been saved but alas war (not finding WMDs) was the aim of our leaders.
Rhetoric has negative connotations (such as lack of sincerity or substance within clever words). But you have now made it clear that you disagree with him and that's all which is fair enough.Interesting use of 'sic' in your post (after rhetoric and WMDs) by the way. Have I misspelt these words or used them incorrectly?
Cheers, Stuey for clarifying. I wasn't trying to be a grammar Nazi; I was just curious.
When one of the two men in 2008 in place to be leader of the free world was asked what his policy on Iran would be, his response was "Bomb,bomb bomb"Amidst such 'rhetoric' it is of no surprise that Iran seek nuclear arms
So what? What exactly does a 4 year old quote, have to do with Irans attempt to build a Nuclear weapon? McCain was an asshole politician, who chose the worlds dumbest f***in' moron as his VP running mate, this was a women trusted to be one step from President and she didn't know the 3 branches of the American Government or that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, not to mention his opinion means nothing. He's not President because he wasn't elected. Politicians are morons and they lie and talk sh*t and bow down to fundamentalists and anyone who can help them get reelected. They don't give a f**k about you or me or our opinions or needs or wants. I dont think its possible for my opinion of our leaders to get any lower.
What are the chances of this Mitt Romney getting in? I was reading the other day how he would support Isreal in using military action against Iran's nuclear sites, as opposed to Obama's preference of using sanctions and diplomacy.
It would be catastrophic for all concerned if any attack was allowed on Iran because that would draw in China,Russia,Syria,Iraq to the defence of the Iranian regime.
It would, that's why I asked. I'm not particularly up to date with these US presidential candidates so wondered if anyone could give me an idea as to whether he was a genuine contender (threat?) or not?
He is being trumped up by he republican media and is going out his way to be very hawkish, it's also prompted Obama to pledge a further $70 Million to the Israeli Iron Dome project,you see they are only interested what's good for Israeli policy and the Jewish vote.The real threat to Obama is the Libeterian Rebuplican Dr Ron Paul who has been pretty much taking the cauceses votes by storm and a number of delegates who have backed him as the next president but the media fail to mention the impact Dr Paul is having and who is followers are the young, war veterans & current military personal.
Ron Paul for me.He promotes peace.
I'd agree, Res. Having said that I've taken little interest in the election because whoever gets in I expect exactly the same foreign policies to be implemented. Obama proved this to be the case with his unfulfilled pre-election promises; he has been if anything worse than the war-mongerer Bush.
Nothing changes, US foreign policy in general cannot and will not change no matter who is in office.The security services and the military are not affected one iota and that is where the power lies.
Are you from the US Finchie?
With comments like the above Ron Paul has no chance. The establishment won't allow it even if the voters would.
As stated the policies and attitude of any US administration does not vary to any significant degree, any divergence from the perceived norm is corrected by the security services.
JFK being the best example.Many say this is the speech that got him killed.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xhZk8ronces
Where is the outrage over these remarks?.Shas spiritual leader calls on Jews to pray for annihilation of IranShas spiritual leader calls on Jews to pray for annihilation of IranDuring his weekly sermon, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef says Jews should pray for destruction of the enemies of Israel, with an emphasis on Iran and Hezbollah.By Haaretz and Reuters | Aug.26, 2012 | 11:24 AM | 22 Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. Aug.26,2012 | 11:24 AM | 15By Haaretz and ReutersAug.26,2012 | 11:24 AM | 6Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who was updated last week on the Iranian nuclear project, called on Jews to pray for the destruction of Iran, this past Saturday.During his weekly sermon, the ultra-Orthodox leader of the Shas party stated that his followers should pray for the annihilation of the enemies of the Jewish people during Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year), with an emphasis on Iran and Hezbollah."When we say 'may our enemies be struck down' on Rosh Hashana, it shall be directed at Iran, the evil ones who threaten Israel. God shall strike them down and kill them," said Yosef."The comments come in the wake of visits by senior defense officials, including National Security Council head Ya'akov Amidror and Interior Minister Eli Yishai, to Yosef to convince Yosef to support a possible Israeli attack on Iran.It is not known whether Amidror or any of the others succeeded in persuading Yosef. However, during a sermon delivered the previous week, a day after his meeting with Amidror, Yosef said: "You know what situation we're in, there are evil people, Iran, about to destroy us. ... We must pray before [the almighty] with all our heart."Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet, which Israeli officials have said is divided over the question of launching a go-it-alone attack on Iran, includes a Shas minister as one of its eight members. Iran says it is enriching uranium for peaceful purposes.Yosef wields significant influence over Shas's lawmakers, who seek his guidance on policy.In the past, the Baghdad-born Yosef has stirred controversy by likening Palestinians to snakes, calling for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to "perish from this world" and describing non-Jews as "born only to serve us".But he has also spoken out in favour of Israel ceding occupied land for peace with the Palestinians in order to end conflict and save Jewish lives. F***ing Ironic he was born in Iraq and also Shoal Mofaz the opposition leader of the Kadima party war born in............wait for it......IRAN.http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/shas-spiritual-leader-calls-on-jews-to-pray-for-annihilation-of-iran-1.460765

The Two Gentlemen of Verona
by William Shakespeare
The Forest
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
When Valentine gets booted out of Milan for trying to elope with Silvia, he flees to a forest somewhere between Milan and Mantua, where he quickly becomes the leader of a band of outlaws (who have also been banished from court). Although Valentine misses Silvia and thinks that keeping his crew of thieving outlaws out of trouble is hard work, things are hunky dory in the forest. He says so himself: "How use doth breed a habit in a man!/ This shadowy desert, unfrequented woods,/ I better brook than flourishing peopled towns" (5.4.1-3). In other words, Valentine could get used to the simple life. In the forest, he doesn't have to worry about the chaos of court or the problems that come with his romantic interests.
Eventually, all of the major characters wind up here as well and the problems that follow them are quickly resolved. The Duke gives Valentine permission to marry Silvia, the outlaws are pardoned by the Duke, Proteus falls back in love with Julia, Valentine and Proteus become best buds again, and so on.
What is this? A magic forest? Sort of. Here's what literary critic Jean Howard has to say: "The utopian possibilities for social renewal in a world beyond the walls and customs of the city are celebrated in this play as they are later to be in A Midsummer Night's Dream, As You Like It, and other Shakespearean romantic comedies of the 1590s" (Introduction to Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Norton Shakespeare, 2008). In other words, the forest is a space where characters can escape from their problems and repair the social relationships that they've managed to screw up. Shakespeare really likes this convention – he's always sending his characters on vacations into the woods or the countryside where life is simpler and the air is cleaner.
For women, however, the forest is also a place of potential danger. This is where Silvia is nearly raped by Proteus (5.4) and it's also where Valentine makes his band of thieving brothers promise not to hurt any women (4.1), which sort of implies that women get hurt in the forest all the time. Eventually, however, the forest is where Julia's relationship with Proteus is mended and where Silvia is engaged to her sweetie, Valentine. This, by the way, is Shakespeare's way of "restoring social order" for the ladies – by hitching them to husbands.

"Higher Ground" is the May 1 episode of "Reign." Be sure to check out the slideshow for more quotes from tonight's episode. "Reign" airs Thursday nights at 8 p.m. central on the CW.
Francis is on the battle field looking all adorable in his armor. Strangely enough, he is not with the Duke and his men, even though it sounded like they would be inseparable seeing as how Francis was kinda counting on the Duke to protect him. Anywho, Francis runs into a ragtag group of French soldiers. Seriously, they look a little sad. Leith is one of them! It feels like forever since we have seen him. He comes back in a big way too – he saves Francis' life.
Catherine's cousins stop by. Anytime her family comes to the castle, it is rarely present. The Medicis don't seem like nice people or at least "Reign" doesn't show them being nice. Mary approaches Catherine for assistance. Her mother needs to escape Scotland in secret, but that requires money. Mary hopes that Catherine will help by using funds from her secret pool of money. Alas, that is not the case. Mary should have expected as much. It's not like Catherine is all that charitable. Catherine does give Mary a good piece of advice though about how to act as a Queen.
Mary goes to plan B. Thankfully she didn't anticipate that Catherine would hand over a bunch of money, but Mary is still Mary, so she decided to give it a shot. John, a mercenary, is who Mary hires to find Catherine's stash of money and bring it to her without Catherine having any idea she had been robbed. Yeah, John has a different plan. Mary should have known that hiring a mercenary – one that her uncle recommends – would make things a tad more complicated. John decides to kidnap her. It's almost the same thing, right?
Lola begins to worry about Lord Julien. He has her dowry now. The bank could not hold off any longer, and he kept pestering them about when he would get it. Kenna decides now is a good time to start being a good friend, and so she tries to get Bash to befriend Lord Julien and dig up some dirt. This is far more interesting than watching the two of them in bed for an entire episode. Bash discovers that Lord Julien is going on a hunting trip, but all he is taking is one horse and a carriage. That's all you need for a hunting trip, I suppose.
Catherine's confession is hilarious. She starts out with something mild like taking the Lord's name in vain, then moves to ordering the assassination of Scots, and then to striking a servant. Sadly, her confession is cut short by her kidnapping. She's a smart one though. Catherine manages to put together that Mary kidnapped her, and offers him double if he brings her the head of the person who orchestrated her kidnapping. Damn, that Catherine is a wily one. What she doesn't except is for John to go and inform Mary of Catherine's response. He isn't easily turned.
An ear appears with Catherine's earring on it is delivered to the castle gates. Cortenza (if that is how you spell her name) aka Catherine's cousin is not at all bothered. She basically doesn't care if Catherine lives or dies. Cortenza is already threatening servants and Mary, whom she believes is spying on her at the request of Catherine. After hearing Bash's warning about being sure as to who you are going to sacrifice, Mary decides to let John cut off Cortenza's head and bring it to Catherine, thus making it seem like Cortenza was the one behind her kidnapping.
When Kenna informs Lola of what Bash found, she begs Lola to have an honest conversation with Lord Julien. Lola does. She has this speech about how she doesn't need much to live on and that she loves him. It tugs on the heart strings a bit. Lord Julien ends up doing this dramatic walk out of the castle where he gazes upon his carriage, and then returns to Lola. He owns up to being broke and no longer affiliating with his horrible family. So he is a good guy, I guess. I'm still suspicious of his two rich wives dying though.
Francis has a battle plan. When the English attacked, he realized that the same men are coming every time, which means the castle is undermanned. What Francis didn't realize was the English have a cannon. Oops, that's small problem, no big deal guys. Francis actually manages to take it out with a flaming arrow, and he even gets a pep talk to his men. The downside is that Leith gets injured from the cannon. Have no fear, Leith! Francis is going to make sure you get home safely, and then he will give you land and a title so you can marry Greer!
Catherine buys that Cortenza is behind it all. It helps when Mary and John plant a fake note in her empty jewelry box, making it seem as if she was being blackmailed and is currently broke. There is a moment where Catherine begins to worry about what traits Mary picked up from her. She hopes that Mary didn't orchestrate the killing of Cortenza because it makes a person grow hard. Wow, Catherine might actually care about Mary. This is a little shocking. She is expressing motherly concern for someone who isn't Francis.
What did you think of the episode? Did Mary's decision surprise you?

Snippets about British and other European crime fiction, tv and film.
Tried to watch this show on BBC television, but it appeared to have the frame rate of a movie played back on a 10 year old laptop - very jumpy and giving me a headache. Does anyone know how this was filmed/produced?

› Link: Mars Exploration Rovers Have you ever heard of Asteroid 6816 Barbcohen? Well, maybe not, but it was named after me! I can't think of an award I'd rather have. I received it for my study of lunar meteorites - pieces of rock knocked off the moon that fall to earth. They come from lunar sites that no humans or robots have ever visited, so they contain unique new material for scientists like me to study.
I wasn't always interested in studying rocks, or in any scientific study. I loved writing, and literature, and music (I still do!). But two things happened - one was that I saw a TV show about Voyager visiting the planets, and they were beautiful. Then I took a chemistry class in high school, and something really clicked with me. I started thinking that I could be a scientist and study the planets. I wasn't sure exactly how to approach learning about them until I took a geology class in college. Then I knew I'd found my niche. I thought, "This is it! This is how I can get to the planets. I can study the rocks!"
The teachers in my geology department were great. They let me work in their labs, where I learned new techniques and used cool instruments to open a rock up like a storybook. For example, each wavelength of light interacts with a rock in a certain way, telling some aspect of that rock's story. The elements in the rocks tell about what conditions were when the rock formed, and the age of the rock tells you when those conditions prevailed on the planet. It's amazing! Even if you don't know exactly where a rock came from, you can get a picture of the history of the planet where it formed.
After earning my PhD, I began working as a research scientist. One of my best experiences was joining the team for the Mars Exploration Rovers - Spirit and Opportunity. I was excited to come to Marshall because NASA offered me the chance to plan and operate robotic missions to the Moon and other planets to learn more about them. I've worked with LRO and with LCROSS - the mission that confirmed water on the Moon - and I got to see LCROSS launch! I've also helped with human mission planning for the Moon and other destinations where we will need human geologists.
I love working at Marshall because I get to discover something new every day. I might look at a meteorite in a way no one has been able to do before. Or I may get to see pictures of Mars fresh off one of the rovers. On other days you might find me working on a new robotic lunar lander project. I wake up each day thinking, "What am I going to learn today?"

The SAFC annual will explain why the red and whites are called 'The Black Cats' and it wonders what might happen if Sunderland merged with Newcastle to form a new team – just as Sunderland's pre-season opponents in Denmark FC Midtjylland did when they joined forces with their local rivals 15 years ago!
There's also a new addition for supporters' bookshelves in the form of the Official SAFC Yearbook.
The Yearbook is aimed at the adult supporter. There's plenty to keep you entertained with features on 10 great Christmas games, 10 great goals, leading scorers of the last decade and a look at the ton-up club – the dozen players who have scored 100 goals or more for the Lads.
For those who want a walk down memory lane the 40th, 50th and 100th anniversaries of the 1973 FA Cup win, the first ever promotion, and the club's greatest ever season are all included along with a look at Sunderland's foray into major European competition 40 years ago this season.
There's also a 'What's It Worth' focus on SAFC memorabilia and just for fun a quiz of 2013 and five team photographs to see if you can spot the season they are from.
Both books are available to buy now - the annual is priced at £8 and the yearbook is priced at £10 - visit www.safcstore.com to get your copy.

UT Health Northeast receives a $7.8 million, five-year NIH grant to study lung scarring, the largest government-funded grant in the history of UT Health Northeast.
UT Health Northeast is named a "Nurse-Friendly®" hospital by the Texas Nurses Association, one of just 31 hospitals in Texas to achieve this distinction. In addition, UT Health Northeast is one of only 118 hospitals in the nation to be recognized for its care of cardiac and stroke patients by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's "Get with the Guidelines" program. Pierre Neuenschwander, Ph.D., associate professor of biochemistry, discovers how a crucial part of the blood-clotting process works. His work could lead to new treatments to prevent excessive bleeding or clotting. An all-digital cardiovascular and interventional imaging system is installed, allowing UT Health Northeast physicians to clearly see the structure of the heart, as well as blood vessels throughout the body, even the tiny vessels that carry blood to the fingertips.
The Southwest Center for Agricultural Health, Injury Prevention, and Education on the UT Health Northeast campus received a $5.44 million, five-year federal grant from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. In research, T. Howard Stone, JD, LLM, associate professor of bioethics, received a $1.757 million, four-year NIH grant to study the legal and ethical ramifications of using genetic information about drug addiction in the criminal justice system. This is the first project of this type funded by NIH. In education, NIOSH awarded UT Health Northeast a three-year, $444,000 grant to train occupational medicine residents in agricultural and rural occupational health issues is designed to fill that gap in knowledge and experience. Several UT Health Northeast faculty and staff helped develop a new Web-based curriculum to promote safe health care prepared on behalf of the Texas Medical Association.

Does this Teapot Look Like Hitler?
I'm a little teapot, short and mustached? A JC Penney billboard in Culver City, Calif. is being criticized for the teapot it advertises — which some have pointed out strikes a strong resemblance to Adolf Hitler.
The $40 Michael Graves-designed tea kettle sparked Internet debate on Tuesday, prompting a Twitter response from JC Penney, which declared the kitchen tool's resemblance to Hitler "completely unintentional."
@mashable Totally unintentional. If we'd designed the kettle to look like something, we would've gone w/a snowman pic.twitter.com/DAbbOwlB65
— jcpenney (@jcpenney) May 28, 2013
Someone who wrote into the Morning Show pointed out the blurred teapot's resemblance to South Park's Hitler.
What do you think? Would you have seen the teapot's resemblance to Hitler without it being pointed out to you?
.@jcpenney A Hitler teapot?? I was willing to look past the fact that your full name is "JEWS COVET Pennies," but this is TOO MUCH.

no servers, PS2 slimline silver
Someone may've already hit on this, but having a problem.
I just got a PS2 slimline silver to replace my old PS2 slim which bought the farm. Popped in Battlefront and on multiplayer, the server list is empty. Battlefront II worked fine as always, no problems finding a game and game play was normal. In fact all other games I have, their online play is fine, but with the original Battlefront, I can't find any servers at all. The list is totally empty.
Any suggestions of what might be happening here? I don't believe they shut down the servers on Battlefront, some friends are still playing it, so kinda at a loss here.

Australian Conference Call Service
HotAir Conferencing is a fast growing, plain speaking Australian conference call service provider.
Our customers include some of the largest corporations and government departments through to the smallest associations.
They choose HotAir because they are tired of paying high prices or need to upgrade to a conference call service they can always depend on to work and sound good.
So, whether you are looking for great prices, a company that is easy to work with or a special application, we probably have the right service for you . . and we say probably because we really do believe in plain speaking. That's why over a third of our new customers are through word of mouth.
Easy to use teleconferencing
It's easy to start or join a conference call once you have setup an account:
- Dial a telephone number
- Enter a PIN
- Start talking
Conference calls when you need them
Hold your meeting with up to 30 lines at any time without making a booking. If you think you might need more lines, tell us.
Record your conference call - FREE
Record the conference call and download the recording minutes after the meeting ends. If someone missed the meeting, just email them the link to download the recording. Most companies charge between $30 and $100 for making a recording and listening to it. With HotAir, recording your teleconference is FREE!
Create your account online or call 1800 157 313
Excellent sound quality
Effective meetings require everyone to be heard clearly. That's why unlike other low cost services we use the highest grade telephone lines, not the internet or discount phone services. With HotAir Conferencing, you can be sure the sound quality will always be crystal clear, making your conference calls more productive.
A service you can depend on
HotAir uses the same ultra reliable equipment as the world's largest teleconference service providers. We also have back up systems, this means that you can be sure the service will always be available when you need it. So whether the conference call is internal or with your most important client you can depend on HotAir.
Guaranteed to work every time
HotAir is the only conference call company in Australia with a quality guarantee. If your meeting does not go ahead or is compromised because of something controlled by us there is no charge for that meeting. Read more.
How am I charged?
There are no set up fees or ongoing charges and you only pay for what you use.
Each conference call is charged per line per second (most providers will charge you more by rounding up to the nearest minute). Invoices are sent once per month by email and if you use a credit card your payments can be automated.
Create an account online now or call 1800 157 313
Is HotAir good value?
A Google search will show that HotAir is half the price of services from the big names companies like Telstra and Optus but several times the price of many other services.
With HotAir you get the ultra-reliable service you can depend on without paying the premium for the big name.
Why does the service cost more than some of the companies I can see online?
HotAir has been providing a teleconference services since 2005. We have grown rapidly and gained benefits of scale, but to provide a service at a lower price we would have to cut corners that would reduce the reliability and sound quality of the service.
Price is important but not as important as knowing the service will always work properly and always have great sound quality.
What does a conference call cost?
The charge is calculated per line per second, so the more lines in the meeting and the longer it lasts, the more the conference call will cost. You will only pay for what you use and there is no flagfall or setup cost.
A typical teleconference taking place during business hours, that lasts 60 minutes with 5 lines all dialling a 1800 (toll free) number will cost $75.00 + GST. This is approximately half what the other companies providing business grade (reliable) meetings would charge.
How am I invoiced?
Invoices are sent once per month by email. They show the connect time and cost of every line that was in every conference. This makes it possible to assign costs to departments or projects or just confirm you have been billed correctly. Telecoms companies often bill incorrectly so we give you the tools to keep us honest.
You can see a sample conference call invoice here
Can I have more than one account?
If you have more than one person/department that needs to hold conference calls you can give them all their own conference facility.
This is much easier for you to manage and makes it easier to track costs. Please call us for further information: 1800 157 313.
Mobile phones and joining teleconferences
When a caller presses a number on their phone, it makes a tone and the receiving system knows what number that tone represents.
If the line has poor sound quality or the tone is very short the conferencing system will not know what button is pressed.
For mobile phones with variable sound quality, this can mean that your callers often can't successfully enter the PIN.
Why is HotAir better for callers on mobile phones?
Uniquely, if the caller cannot successfully enter the PIN (during business hours) they are answered by an operator who will place them into the teleconference.
Tell a colleague about HotAir
Easy to setup
Complete our online form and we will send your teleconference account details within 30 minutes (during business hours). If you need an account even faster than this, please call us.
Alternatively call us on 1800 157 313 (you can expect to speak to a person right away, no waiting and being told how important your call is) or .
Creating a conference call account with HotAir is free and does not commit you to anything. You can use the service as much or as little as you choose.

Tonight's episode of "Cake Boss" was titled "Fiery Competition." As the episode begins, Grace announces that her hubby, Joe, also the head baker, was promoted to lieutenant at the Harrison Fire Department. Now they are planning a big party with a cake fitting the wonderful promotion.
Buddy comes up with the idea of a cake that will light on fire, and put itself out. They have done fire department cakes in the past, but this one Buddy wants to be on steroids. They get busy making a building, and two fire trucks with ladders, lights and the whole nine yards. Moe and Ralph are busy trying to get the pump ready, and the details are being worked out.
Buddy met with a guy named Pat, who runs the Anthony Fasano Foundation. Anthony Fasano is an NFL Football player and a Jersey boy who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs. The foundation will be running a bocce bash to help veterans. Being Italian, Buddy loves bocce and his father-in-law has a court in his backyard. So Buddy is going to make a bocce cake that will be just perfect for the charity bash.
While the fire cake is being tested in the parking lot, and Buddy is full of confidence, but the rest of the gang is not so sure.
The bocce cake is great, with a red, green and white background for the Italians, and red, white and blue for the veterans. When they get to the event, Buddy's father-in-law comes along to play. Anthony Fasano stated that the guys from the bakery should stick to baking, not bocce, as their team lost. But they redeemed themselves with the cake and had great big thanks from all involved.
The cake must pass Joe's approval before his colleagues and friends see it, so he supervises the testing. When it met with his approval, he was sent away so they could put the finishing touches on the cake, like the lights, sirens and special effects.
At the party, held at a Hoboken landmark, Biggie's Clam Bar, colleagues, friends and family were amazed at the cake that paid tribute to the courageous men and women who risk their lives each day. The cake did exactly as Buddy predicted, when the house went on fire, the truck's hose extinguished it quickly and everyone had cake on this episode of "Cake Boss." Congratulations Joe!

State Controller to Collect 2010 Wage Numbers
On Aug. 31, State Controller John Chiang ordered cities, counties and other local governments to report their 2010 wage information to his office. This follows a similar action last year, when the Controller created a statewide Government Compensation in California database on his website.
The database currently contains 2009 data for local governments and 2010 compensation information for State civil service and California State University employees.
The 2010 local agency data will be posted starting this fall. State employees' 2011 information will be posted by summer 2012.
Controller Chiang continues to improve and expand the database, which lets California taxpayers see how much their local and state governments spend on employee pay. For more information, see the database.

You thought you were prepared for the new arrival and honestly believed you had it all figured out. You were going to deliver naturally, breastfeed, and ban all pacifiers from ever entering the house. You were doing so well until you brought the bundle home and realized that nursing babies always want to suck. So cave just a little (it won't be the last time) and pop that pacifier in. They will be satisfied and you'll actually get the dishes clean. And when you are out in public, don't be embarrassed when your nursling starts getting antsy for the sucky. Just whip out the Ju-Ju-Be Tokidoki Paci Pod ($18) and be the cool mom with the cool accessories, instead.

Last week I shared some tshirt refashions and upcycles over at Infarrantly Creative. I've got plenty of material for these, since between the two of us, my husband and I have a stack of almost 75 old tees! Here's one I made with my daughter, Kayla.
Kayla and I turned an old white tshirt into a scarf that was just her size. We cut a long rectangle of solid-colored fabric from the shirt. We jazzed it up a bit by stamping designs on it with fabric paint. We chose x's, o's, and hearts for Valentine's Day, but you could really do anything with stamps of your choice. Kayla loves her new scarf, and we had a lot of fun making it together.
Check out the video tutorial of this project at Infarrantly Creative.

Dead Space 3 Review
publisher: EA
developer: Visceral Games
genre: Shooters
|ESRB rating: M
release date: Feb 05, 13
|» All About Dead Space 3 on ActionTrip
When you jump into a co-op game, Dead Space 3 gets increasingly fun, as players find different ways to tackle various types of enemies. In that respect, the series has indeed brought something new to the table and that deserves praise. However, it was never easy to define Dead Space. When it comes to picking genres, the franchise always remained on the fence so to speak. This installment emphasizes action, whether you're playing a co-op game or just going through the single-player campaign. On 'Normal' difficulty, the game showers you with ammo and loot and that kills off any sense of survival and dread one would usually expect from a true horror-themed experience. The crux of the game is to mow down foes one after another.
Does this outfit make me look like an asshole? It does, doesn't it?
Braweasllbbbllbbaraaagghgh! Well, that's what they usually say.
Our biggest regret is that more time ought to have been invested in, say, level design to reduce backtracking, which is still a frequent occurrence. Less time should've been spent on making overblown cinematic scenes where control is taken away from the player. The cinematic-style action has its good sides too. We were impressed with unexpected scenes that take place during some of the boss encounters. There's a segment in the game where Isaac gets swallowed whole and has to fight his way out of the belly of a gigantic, hideous Necromoroph.
It's not entirely the same as in the previous two games. This time around, you can craft your own weapons, which adds some variety to the whole experience. It also gives players the opportunity to create, modify and upgrade the kind of weapons that suits their play style. As it turns out, most of the weapons the developers have come up with in the series so far are quite sufficient. In that sense, the new-fangled component of weapon crafting feels a bit redundant. The variety sometimes seems unnecessary if a lot of gamers are still going to be satisfied with the Plasma Cutter.
Dead Space 3 is a fun action game and a delightful ride for those who are after a decent co-op shooter. If you want to play the solo mode, the co-op bit won't get in the way, which is fine. But you still have to realize that this is a pure shooter. We have spent a lot of hours playing, in the hope of finding at least some traces of survival horror, but to no avail. It's clear that they've upped the ante when it comes to action and EA and Visceral are not shying away from this fact, often admitting openly that it was the right course for the series to take. This, however, doesn't mean they made the right decision.
7.0 Good
This game shines as a co-op shooter, some interesting boss encounters, there are a few brilliantly designed locations in this game, there's a lot of cool stuff to unlock, great cinematic ambience;
The backtracking and elevator rides, as DS fans we can't deny that this is the weakest entry in the series, be it co-op or single-player it appears that any magic the series had is now lost in the murky and crowded waters of generic action games.

Tennis Bounces Back With 5-2 Win Over Fordham
Feb. 28, 2014
AMHERST, Mass. - After a tough loss to Dartmouth on Wednesday, the UMass tennis team bounced back on Friday afternoon with a 5-2 win over Atlantic-10 conference opponent Fordham. The Minutewomen (5-4) bested the Rams (4-2) in five of six singles matches.
In doubles action, Fordham took the No. 1 and No. 3 matches to clinch the doubles point. Sonia Bokhari and Chanel Glasper led Fordham's No. 2 pair of Angelika Dabu and Julie Leong in a 6-3 unfinished match.
The Minutewomen dominated in singles play, winning five of six matches on the afternoon. Bokhari led the team at the No. 1 spot where she topped Fordham's Elliesa Ball 6-2, 4-6, 6-3.

Are you looking forward to hiring the best corporate entertainers for your upcoming event? Good entertainers will make your event a great success and give your business a good name. Getting a professional entertainer who will amuse the attendees in your event should not be a hard task if you take into account these factors: (click here to see more)
Occasion and attendees
As a priority when choosing a corporate comedian, you need to consider the kind of guests who will be attending your event and the kind of entertainment most of them will enjoy. By understanding your audience, you can easily go ahead and look for an entertainer who will be able to offer a variety of entertainment to please everyone attending the occasion. Some good corporate entertainment used by most artists includes music, comedy and magic. Specialist corporate performers know how to amuse people by incorporating funny acts or jokes in their performances.
Plan early
If you are a corporate planner looking for a corporate entertainer for your company, it would be good to plan way ahead from the time the date of your event is set. Corporate comedians get booked early because of their exceptional talent. It would, therefore, be a good idea if you to start your booking process as early as you can since entertainers are in much demand at particular times of the year.
Always remember that corporate entertainers are businessmen too, and that you always get what you pay for. Professional artists who are reputed in the business of entertaining people in events charge higher fees than amateurs. It would be better to pay more and make your event one to remember than pay less and disappoint your audience. The number of your expected attendees, along with the experience and reputation of the artist(s) helps you make a reasonable budget for your corporate event if you face the challenge of allocating money towards the occasion.
Performers' experience
An experienced performer and especially in corporate entertainment understands the expectations of the event. Picking artists who only specialize in entertaining audiences in corporate events is better as they have good knowledge of business environments and know the twists and turns of amusing, serious minds in a professional way. Don't hesitate on asking their experience in business entertainment. Look for experienced corporate entertainment practitioners in your area that are also familiar with your business. This may help in connecting with the audience and avoid boredom.
Avoid disappointment at all costs by planning well in looking for a suitable business entertainer. Knowing your type of event and audience will ease the task of finding an ideal entertainer. Finally, do your research. Check out online reviews about corporate entertainers to get an idea of what to expect. Other than reading the promotional materials the entertainers put up on their websites, prioritize on watching some of the videos of their live performances before real audiences. Professional artists can provide video demos of some of their performances. You can ask for references from other clients who have been served by the performer.

Reproduced below are just a few of the topics discussed in the House of interest to Muslims:
15 Oct 2008 : Column 882
Local Government
Mr. Paul Goodman (Wycombe) (Con): Although my hon. Friend the Member for Bromley and Chislehurst (Robert Neill) cheered us all up with his knockabout attack on the various follies and errors in Government policy, the debate has necessarily been rather sombre, given the background. It has also been thoughtful and constructive, and I want to respond to some of the main points.
I am sorry that the Minister is not in his place—doubtless, he will scurry in shortly—because I wanted to congratulate him on his elevation to the Privy Council. In the light of that good news, I expected many Government Back Benchers to flock in to support him. However, at the start of the debate, only two were present, neither of whom—how can I put it politely and diplomatically?—is famous for supporting every dot and comma of Government policy. Nevertheless, the Minister did his usual excellent job, in his polite, thoughtful and constructive way—and we are grateful for his comments about the Icelandic banks—of defending the indefensible.
The hon. Member for Falmouth and Camborne (Julia Goldsworthy) presented the argument, as I expected, for local income tax. To put it mildly, we do not agree with her. We do not believe that, at this point in the economic cycle, with a downturn looming, we should impose more taxes on hard-working families. However, I am determined to agree with her about something, and I agreed with her intervention about IN35, one of the indicators that measures PVE—preventing violent extremism. She was right to point out that the Government should ensure that money does not go to extremists, but that local councils should have the maximum flexibility to use PVE money as they want.
15 Oct 2008 : Column 883
The hon. Member for Blyth Valley (Mr. Campbell), who has not returned, made a doughty defence of his local interest. The hon. Member for Bassetlaw (John Mann) asked me for a commitment on neighbourhood renewal money. I am sorry to disappoint him, but I am not in a position today to write on the Floor of the House our general election manifesto on every pot of money that the Government produce. I know that he will be disappointed, but I am afraid that he must live with that.
My hon. Friend the Member for East Devon (Mr. Swire) made, as always, a polished and assured speech, and demolished the various follies of unitaries. He made a telling point about parish councils, which do a job that the Government seem to want to reinvent.
My hon. Friend the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mike Penning) reverted, as one might expect, to the Buncefield fire, a subject that he has raised many times. It proved again, were proof needed, that he is capable of phenomenal hard work on behalf of his constituents.
My hon. Friend the Member for Northampton, South (Mr. Binley) brought all his council experience to bear—I am sorry to hear that he is finally to leave his local government post—on various aspects of Government policy with which he disagrees.
I want to ask a few questions about community cohesion, especially about the way in which the Department perceives the role of local government in helping prevent violent extremism—an aspect of local authorities' work that we have not discussed so far. I will make three brief points about that.
First, it is wrong to assume that violent extremism is the monopoly of any particular ethnic or religious group. It is worth noting that, in the past year, a neo Nazi from Yorkshire was sentenced for serious offences under terrorism legislation for designing violence to be committed specifically against Muslims.
Secondly, we must recognise, however, that the main threat to public safety—to Muslims and non-Muslims alike—comes from those who would exercise violence in the name of Islam. I would like quickly to make the point that it is not often appreciated that Muslims face a particular difficulty, because the aim of al-Qaeda is to drive out mainstream Muslim leadership and replace it.
Finally, many people talk about the causes of violent extremism and give different reasons for it—the failures of multiculturalism, foreign policy, discrimination, and so on. The point is that local government has to pick up those issues and deal with them. They are not just a matter for national Government. I appreciate that the Minister will not have time to answer all my points, so I would be grateful if he indicated that he will write to me about any that are outstanding.
Government policy on preventing violent extremism has been through three main phases since 2007 and the horror of 7/7. The first was to work through the preventing extremism together programme, with which I know the Minister was involved, with partnership organisations at a national level. The second phase, begun after Tony Blair rushed out his famous—or notorious—12-point plan, saw the Department for Communities and Local Government in the driving seat and the start of the preventing violent extremism programme or PVE, the
15 Oct 2008 : Column 884
flagship DCLG scheme. The third and current phase sees the Home Office back in control, seeking a more targeted approach. We must all hope that the latest strategy works, and of course we entirely support its aim of preventing extremism and supporting moderation. However, it raises questions about the future of PVE and the role of local authorities.
As I have told the House before, we must recognise that targeting taxpayers' money at one faith community is problematic. None the less, given the seriousness of the threat of violent extremism, we have supported PVE and continue to do so. Indeed, I pay tribute to some of the good work that I have seen up and down the country. However, we must recognise that considerable sums are being invested in PVE—some £45 million this year and the next two years, on top of the £7 million or so that was spent on it last year. It is vital to ensure that the money is effectively spent.
The Department should therefore surely support an independent study of the scheme's effectiveness in achieving its indispensable aim of preventing violent extremism. If Ministers will not commission such a study, questions are increasingly bound to be asked about whether the scheme, which works through local authorities, is achieving its aims. We have to be sure that it is doing so. Will the Department commission an independent assessment of the effectiveness of PVE?
In July, the Secretary of State announced that she planned to establish a new board of academic and theological advisers. I previously floated the idea of a privately financed institute of British Islam to achieve the same aim and we have some reservations about the danger of the state being seen to impose a preferred model on British Muslims. Will the Minister say whether members of the board have been appointed yet and, if so, who they are, whether they have met, whether they will publish any reports and what role local authorities will play in the process, if any?
We are aware that the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board published a draft constitution last year and obtained responses, and has since published a second draft constitution in the light of those responses. We would be grateful if the Minister said when MINAB will publish a fully fledged constitution and what plans there are, if any, for links between MINAB and local authorities.
In closing, I make no apology for returning to the implications for community cohesion and local government of sharia courts in the UK, a matter on which the new Minister quite properly opined last weekend and which we discussed yesterday. As both I and the Minister intimated yesterday, my hon. and learned Friend the shadow Home Secretary has received a letter from the Home Secretary confirming that Muslim arbitration tribunals were established in Britain last year. We have no objection in principle to the use of arbitration vehicles, including such tribunals, to resolve private family and contractual disputes. However, those tribunals will clearly be run by sharia judges and are therefore likely be marketed to Muslims as state-licensed sharia courts. There are, in particular, important questions about whether Muslim women will always come before such tribunals voluntarily.
I want to put it on record that we are deeply concerned about the paucity of information that we have received from the Home Office and about the implications,
15 Oct 2008 : Column 885
therefore, for community cohesion. This is a subject of great public interest, as the Archbishop of Canterbury, for one, will confirm.
Ministers do not appear to have announced the establishment of these tribunals last year. They have not said how many there are, or who was consulted. They have not told us who the mediators or judges are, how many cases have been heard or what measures are in place to protect women. The House and the public are being told very little. I was grateful to the Minister for confirming yesterday that he will use his good offices to clear up these matters, by ensuring that we get answers in writing, but our message to Ministers this afternoon is that they should not take refuge in letters that conceal more than they reveal.
I could close this debate in the manner in which my hon. Friend the Member for Bromley and Chislehurst quite properly opened it, by attacking all the flaws and follies of Government policy in relation to centralisation, the target culture, the planning quangocracy, the gimmicks—such as doughnuts for voting—to which my hon. Friends have referred, and people pressing buttons when councillors are not even in the chamber. Or I could refer to the absurdities of the Standards Board for England, about which so many councillors complain.
However, given the questions that I have just raised, to which I am seeking answers from the Minister, I would like to end on a note on which I think the whole House can agree. The challenges of violent extremism are clearly serious. If we are to succeed in tackling it, much of that success will depend on the effectiveness of an unwritten social contract between British Muslims and non-Muslims. Non-Muslims, such as me, all the non-Muslim Members of Parliament and others, have to make Britain a warm place for mainstream Islam and acknowledge the contribution that Islam has made to the west in the past, is making now and will surely make in the future.
The other side of that social contract is that Muslims themselves must continue—as the majority do—to seek to drive out support for terrorism and extremism. The success of that social contract will depend on what is effected not only at national Government level but at local government level, where local councils have responsibility. That is the forum in which many of these great issues will be decided. I look forward to hearing the Minister's reply.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Mr. Sadiq Khan)
15 Oct 2008 : Column 889
Mr. Khan: The hon. Gentleman's hon. Friend the. Member for Wycombe (Mr. Goodman) spoke, characteristically, in a partial, unbalanced but witty fashion. I enjoyed his contribution, as I always do. I think that he and I agree on the ends—such as community cohesion—and also on some of the challenges that we face, although I suspect that we disagree to an extent on the means. He was wise to point out that issues of terrorism and extremism are not the purview of a single faith, religion or race, and I am pleased that he gave other similar examples. I shall write to him to answer some his questions, but if he considers a meeting with me to be desirable, I shall be happy to meet him—with or without officials—to discuss the issues that he raised. We need national unity during the times of crisis that he described, as well as at times of economic crisis.
This has been a very important debate, and I congratulate all who were able to take part in it.
