The officers who worked the most averaged 66 hours a week — a far cry from 90 hours a week when overtime peaked in 2008. Kilcullen attributed the change to contract negotiations.

Brilliant Baked Apples with Vanilla Bourbon Sauce
We are adding the recipe to your Recipe Box.

Want to add a splash of festivity to your next meal? Then the perfect dessert is our Brilliant Baked Apples with Vanilla Bourbon Sauce. Rich, tasty, surprisingly easy, this baked apple recipe is everything you want in a sweet!
Serves: 6
Cooking Time: 1 hr
- 2 tablespoons chopped pecans
- 6 large baking apples (preferably Pink Lady or Golden Delicious)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 vanilla bean
- 1 slivered peel of lemon
- 3/4 cup bourbon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees F.
- Cut a strip around the top of the apple. If you don't, as the flesh begins to swell from the cooking, the skin will crack and slip.
- Also, don't let the bourbon run dry (a good motto on any occasion). If it scorches, it will ruin the flavor of the sauce.
- Toast pecans in small ungreased pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Do not scorch. Remove to small mixing bowl.
- While pecans are toasting, core apples to within 1/2-inch of bottom, leaving bottom intact to act as cup to hold flavorings.
- Trim thin band of peel from around top of each apple and place apples in large baking pan.
- Add granulated and brown sugars to bowl with toasted nuts and stir to combine well.
- Cut vanilla bean into 6 segments and place 1 segment in center of each apple.
- Spoon liberal amount of sugar-nut combination of mixture over top of each apple and in pan as well.
- Scatter slivered lemon peel around apples and pour 3/4 cup bourbon into pan.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 until apples are almost done, about 45 minutes. Check occasionally and add more bourbon if necessary to keep bottom of pan moist. Remove foil, increase heat to 450 degrees and bake until sharp knife inserts easily into apple, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Remove from oven and divide apples among 6 dessert plates. Remove lemon peel and, while pan is still hot, stir butter into reduced bourbon in bottom until it melts into smooth sauce. Spoon sauce and any bits of nuts remaining in pan over apples.

Authorities say Pass was killed during the morning rush hour on Jan. 31 while helping a motorist on Interstate 85 south of downtown Atlanta.

The new BMW X5 raises efficiency to another new level in the world of the luxurious Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). BMW is using the 2013 Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) to present the logical next step towards landmark efficiency in the SAV segment.
The BMW Concept X5 eDrive combines the brand of driving pleasure for which the xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system is renowned and a luxurious ambience within the variable-use interior with a plug-in hybrid drive concept.
Launch Video Release for the 2014 BMW X5 - See it Nowby Mark Jurista on July 05, 2013 at 09:59:00 AM
Obviously everyone has seen photos of the new BMW F15 X5 but we haven't seen any great video of the car in motion. Now BMW has released the "Launchfilm" for the new X5 on Youtube and we have a chance to see the car in some new light.
The next generation BMW X5 (F15) goes into production this August with sales starting later this fall. The X5 will be available at launch in xDrive35i, sDrive35i and xDrive50i variants with an xDrive35d coming early next year.

The EUR/GBP pair fell during most of the session on Thursday, but did manage to bounce in order to form a nice looking hammer. This hammer is anchored to the 0.7850 level and it looks very supportive for the very short-term.
However, we do not like buying this pair as we can see quite a bit of resistance just above. Because of this, we are going to be flat of this market, or sell it on a break of the bottom of Thursday's candle. Until we get some type of bearish candle or that breakdown, we are going to be flat of this market as we see simply far too much noise in the charts.

Everything a fan needs to know
Sleepy Hollow
Nov 11, 2013 09:00 PMTV Network - FOX
Last week, as you may recall, John Noble ventured to "Sleepy Hollow." Our question is now, with the series' careful building of mythology, how will last week's episode and addition to the mythology affect the series going forward. Tonight is actually episode seven of the 13 episode season, making it the halfway point in the season and the return of John Cho. We don't know where things are headed, but we do know that things are growing ever more tangled and confused and with a second season coming next year we imagine it's only going to get more and more convoluted.

Address: Department of Radiology, University of
California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
E-mail: sharmila.majumdar at radiology.ucsf.edu
Key Words: Magnetic resonance imaging, osteoarthritis,

Publication date: May 15th 2007
Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging of articular
cartilage has recently been recognized as a tool for the characterization
of cartilage morphology, biochemistry and function. In this
paper advancements in cartilage imaging, computation of cartilage
volume and thickness, and measurement of relaxation times
(T2 and T1Ρ) are presented. In addition, the delayed
uptake of Gadolinium DTPA as a marker of proteoglycan depletion
is also reviewed. The cross-sectional and longitudinal studies
using these imaging techniques show promise for cartilage
assessment and for the study of osteoarthritis.

Food Marketing
Candy Culture: Cashing in on Halloween
According to the National Retail Federation, the average American will spend $66.28 on Halloween this year. Second only to costumes, candy eats up the largest chunk of this budget with American families spending an average of $22 each Halloween on confections.
Charging for Fast Food Extras May Actually Save You Cash
The typical American consumer is accustomed to unwrapping a hamburger from their favorite fast food establishment and finding "the works": lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and a few packets of ketchup on the side. However, according to John Stanton, Ph.D., chair of food marketing at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, the "frills" that come with fast food or restaurant meals could become a thing of the past.
How So-Called Healthy Foods Can Fool You
As America's collective waistline continues to expand, so does the number of food products parading themselves as healthy options. In light of growing concern over the nutritional value of the foods we put into our bodies, many food marketers have stepped up their advertising in an effort to stand out against their competitors.
USDA Serves a Dinner Plate for Healthy Eating
America is about to ditch the food pyramid. In its place, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will serve a plate-shaped symbol sliced into basic food groups. Beside the plate will rest a small cup of dairy (milk or yogurt). What this means for the kid on the playground, or the mom running in eight different directions, is that each will now have an easier guideline to follow for healthy eating.
Conflicting Messages on What to Eat When You're Expecting
Pregnant women often receive conflicting messages about what foods to avoid during their pregnancies. One of the most confusing health messages for women is the recommended guidelines for eating fish. In fact, conflicting reports about safe levels of mercury in fish have a majority of pregnant women eliminating the food from their diet altogether.
How Consumers Can Cope with Growing Food Prices
The current economy is putting a strain on everybody's pocketbook and food is no exception. You don't need to watch the evening news to know that food prices are rising faster than the average; just walk down the supermarket aisle.
John Stanton, Ph.D., chair of food marketing at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, offers ten things you can do to reduce the cost of your food bill while still eating well and not taking too much time.
Let This Holiday Season Jumpstart New Meal Traditions
The quintessential holiday scene – if not children eagerly unwrapping presents from under the Christmas tree – normally involves a family gathered around a table covered with home-cooked food. The reality is that, for the rest of the year, families don't routinely convene during mealtimes.
Will Holiday Shoppers Spend More on Food Than Gifts?
Whether your holiday tradition involves a buffet brunch or a sit-down dinner with seven fishes, abundant amounts of food will be featured. And with the cost of food outpacing the rate of inflation over the past year, entertaining your crowd will be pricey.
Grapes of Wealth: Local Wineries are Boosting the Economy
In an economic climate where many small businesses are struggling to survive, local wineries are experiencing a relative boom. "There are wineries in all 50 states," says Nancy Childs, Ph.D., professor of food marketing at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. "Nationally, there has been a huge resurgence in viewing local wineries as an artisan craft. It parallels the movement of microbreweries."
What's Behind Rising Food Prices, Beyond the U.S. Drought

Consumers see buying from area farmers and producers as a good way to keep money and jobs close to home, improving the local economy while protecting American jobs. But does buying local really make a significant economic difference?

France and Norway
Political Relations
Political relations between France and Norway were strengthened considerably during the 1990s due to the efforts of the Norwegian authorities to maintaining the country's place in Europe.
Energy and the climate are central to our bilateral relations, as Norway is France's leading supplier of gas (38.4% of our supplies in 2012) and one of our main suppliers of oil (behind Russia). French countries are very well established in Norway's hydrocarbons sector: with 103 licences, Total is the second-largest producer of hydrocarbons in Norway behind the public national company Statoil, while GDF Suez is the second-largest purchaser of gas in Norway and has 38 prospection and production licences. An annual energy and climate dialogue has been established at the initiation of the respective Foreign Ministers: the seventh consultations on energy took place in Paris on 8 March 2013, while the third climate consultations were held there on 4 March 2015. Moreover, a partnership was established in 2010 between the two countries on combating deforestation (conferences on 11 March in Paris and 27 May in Oslo), resulting in the adoption of the agreement on the REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation in Developing Countries) mechanism during the Cancún COP16 in December 2010.
Norway's positions are close to ours regarding many international issues, such as the Middle East Peace Process, development assistance, and attention for peacekeeping operations and improving the UN's effectiveness. Norway supports France's efforts in the area of innovative financing (as a member of the Leading Group on Innovative Financing Mechanisms, it applies the air ticket solidarity levy and allocates a share of its carbon/fuel tax to UNITAID). Like France, it is one of the seven founding members of the Foreign Policy and Global Health (FPGH) initiative.
As regards new climate and energy goals, Norway's position is very similar to France's. Both countries stress the importance of reaching an international agreement, with differentiated targets according to levels of national commitment. Bilateral cooperation on this subject intensified in the run-up to COP21 in December 2015, with Laurent Fabius' visit with his counterpart Børge Brende to Svalbard in July 2014 and the joint organization of the Arctic Encounter Paris 2015 conference on the Arctic and the climate in March. Norway was thus an important ally to prepare COP21 in Paris. The country is very active on environmental and sustainability programmes (SE4All for energy, REDD+ for forests, and a promised contribution of €200 million to the Green Climate Fund) and has made ambitious national commitments: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030; carbon neutrality in 2050. The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund has announced that it will divest from polluting industries.
More intensive bilateral dialogue on the Great North and the geopolitics of the region will be a major part of our bilateral relationship in the coming years.
We have regular bilateral contact. During COP21, Norway was represented by its Prime Minister, Ms Erna Solberg; its Minister of Climate and Environment, Ms Tine Sundtoft; and its Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Børge Brende.
The French Minister of Defence, Mr Jean-Yves Le Drian, made a working visit to Norway on 19 and 20 August 2015, meeting with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defence. Mr Brende visited Paris for the ministerial meeting of the coalition against Daesh, and met with then Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development Laurent Fabius on 3 June 2015. He had previously visited Paris on 17 March 2015 for the Franco-Norwegian conference on the Arctic and the climate, also meeting with Mr Fabius on that occasion. Ms Siv Jensen, the Norwegian Minister of Finance, met with her French counterpart Mr Michel Sapin on 25 February 2015. Following the Paris attacks in January 2015, the Norwegian Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs took part in the republican march in Paris on 11 January. Minister Laurent Fabius accompanied his Norwegian counterpart to Svalbard in July 2014 in order to observe the effects of climate change in the Arctic. The Minister of State for European Affairs, Mr Harlem Désir, met with his Norwegian counterpart, Mr Vidar Helgesen, in Paris on 30 April 2014. Mr Børge Brende visited Paris on 26 February 2014 and met with Laurent Fabius. On 3 February 2014, the newly elected Prime Minister, Erna Solberg was received in Paris by the President of the French Republic, François Hollande, and by the Prime Minister, Mr Jean-Marc Ayrault.
In the multilateral sphere, HRH the Crown Prince Haakon of Norway visited Paris on 2 and 3 November 2015 during the opening session of the 38ᵗʰ UNESCO General Conference, accompanied by the State Secretary for European affairs, Ms Tone Skogen.
Economic relations
Despite falling oil prices over the course of 2014, trade between France and Norway remains dominated by hydrocarbons (54% of our imports) and France thus has a structurally negative trade balance with Norway. The combined effects of the falling price of oil and the continued reduction in French consumption had a beneficial impact on the trade balance. The reduction in the bilateral trade deficit continued in the first half of 2015: having totalled €2.1 billion in the first half of 2013, it fell to €890 million in 2014 and €728 million in the first half of 2015, thanks to a 10.5% reduction in our imports, while our exports fell 1.9%.
The fall in the deficit is due first and foremost to the reduction in our hydrocarbon and petroleum product imports (54% of our imports), which have dropped by 16%, with a particularly strong trend regarding petroleum products (-52%) which have gone from representing 13% of our imports to accounting for only 6%. This is primarily due to a quantity effect, while the reduced imports of crude oil are related to a price effect. Other sectors, such as sea products (12% of our imports, fall of 7.7%) are also contracting. However, our imports of metal products have increased considerably (+26%) and now represent 16% of our imports. The world leader in aluminium extrusion, SAPA, which was formed by the merger of the aluminium activities of Norsk Hydro and Orkla in 2013, has four factories in France.
The situation regarding French exports is contrasted. French agricultural, fish-farming and agrifood industry exports contracted in 2014, but have now increased 10% and account for 13.7% of our deliveries. In the first quarter of 2015, they gradually recovered their normal long-term level, despite remaining lower than in the excellent year 2013. More surprisingly given the depressed investment in the oil industries, our deliveries of "machines" have risen 18%. This may be due to deliveries of goods under contracts concluded prior to the fall in the price of BRENT crude and the decisions to put off certain oil industry investments. However, the transport sectors (20% of our exports, fall of 20%) and our exports of "other industrial products" (31%, fall of 1.8%) are down. Transport is subject to major variations, as the delivery of helicopters can generate great fluctuations in the figures, while "other industrial products" suffer from overall depressed demand in Norway linked to a less conducive context.
2015 should be a good year in terms of the evolution of the trade balance: the deficit should continue to shrink thanks to the fall in hydrocarbon prices. However, it is likely to be difficult in terms of export flows. The price of the Norwegian krone (NOK), which has remained low since summer 2015, and the slowing of Norwegian growth will not be favourable for our exports over the course of the year. The current strong agricultural and agrifood deliveries alone will not suffice to compensate for tensions on industrial goods (80% of French exports to Norway).
Almost 130 subsidiaries of French companies are established in Norway, while about 90 Norwegian companies are present in France, active in the major sectors of the Norwegian economy (sea products and metallurgy). The aluminium producer Norsk Hydro is the leading Norwegian employer in France, with about 1000 employees. As regards investments, Norway is the 24ᵗʰ-largest destination for French foreign direct investment (FDI). A partnership is currently being established between two competitiveness centres: Toulouse's Subsea and Oslo's Aerospace Valley.
France is the fourth-largest destination for investment by the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, with a stock of €36.5 billion, representing 6% of the overall portfolio. The fund holds considerable stakes in major French companies and is the second-largest investor in the Paris financial centre.
The number of Norwegian tourists visiting France has been on the rise since 2013. According to the Norwegian authorities, there were 21% more tourists in 2014.
Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation
Our cooperation is carried out in an institutional framework made up of three agreements: two conventional ones, signed in 1953 and 1983, and a third signed in 1986 in the framework of the Troll gas agreements. Our four cooperation entities are leading foreign establishments in Norway: the Institut français (French Institute) of Oslo and its satellite centre in Stavanger, the René Cassin French lycée (school) in Oslo, and the French lycée in Stavanger.
As Norway is traditionally turned towards the United Kingdom and the United States, our educational and linguistic cooperation seeks to support the teaching of French in Norway and to foster knowledge of French language and culture, as part of a cooperation approach involving Norwegian educational professionals. French is the third most-taught second foreign language (excluding English), behind Spanish and just behind German, and 50,000 pupils study it.
The language barrier limits school and academic exchanges. However, there are Norwegian sections in three French high schools, which are an exceptional instrument supporting our cooperation. An agreement was signed during the Prime Minister's visit in June 2010, relating to the teaching of Norwegian pupils and the functioning of the Norwegian sections established in the Bayeux, Caen and Lyon local educational authorities, whereby several dozen Norwegian pupils are present in French schools every year. Moreover, France is the eighth-largest destination for Norwegian students (523 in 2013-2014)
The programme for the training of Norwegian engineers at the National Institute of Applied Sciences in Toulouse (NORGINSA), which has been in place since 1990, has been renewed through to 2020. NORGINSA satisfies all parties and is a good interface with the needs of the industrial world. Of the 320 beneficiary students, more than 130 had obtained the diploma of the school by the end of 2015.
In the art field, the Institut français (French Institute) of Norway cooperates with many local operators, including the festivals which have a central role in Norwegian culture, such as the Bergen International Festival and Oslo's International Ibsen Festival. Cinema also plays a key role in the action of the Institut français, which also works in regular cooperation with its counterparts in other Nordic countries. They organize common events in their respective programmes, as well as joint operations, particularly in the cultural field (artists' tours, Scandinavian platform for contemporary music) and the academic sphere (Campus France Nordic Day, preparation of the Horizon 2020 programme).
For some years, the Norwegian authorities have been seeking to strengthen their scientific and technological partnerships with France. We are thus the only European country to have signed, in July 2008, a cooperation agreement with Norway in the field of scientific and technical research and innovation, and one of the few to have a scientific attaché. The French Embassy in Oslo is working to tighten the relationships between the scientific and industrial sectors of the two countries. The 2013 "Oil & Space Forum" brought together major companies and research institutions in the sectors of oil in Norway and aerospace in France.
The foundations of our cooperation include two pillars made up of the integrated action programme "Aurora" and the French-Norwegian Foundation for Scientific and Technical Research and Industrial Development, which was created in 1983 to support short-term joint research. In Svalbard, France and Germany share two scientific bases for research into glaciers, geology and the climate. At European level, we are collaborating in the EU Framework Research and Development Programme (FRDP). France is Norway's fifth-largest European partner in terms of proposed projects, but third in terms of selected projects.

Welcome to Starships Wiki
Starships Summary
Starships welcomes you all!.
Our purpose here at Starships is to find and document any and all space faring vessels ever encountered in films, TV shows, games, comics, real life and basically anywhere. We do not want to be bound to a single sci-fi universe, but to be able to encompass all of them. We know this is a hard and sometimes daunting task, but through time and perseverance we will go closer to our goal and purpose.
Universes and categorizing
All universes covered so far can be found in the box to the right of this article. All ships that have been added to this wiki are found in their respective universe. All universes are required to have a description of their own, and we would rather that you don't exceed 100-200 lines. Pictures are optional.. All Universes are linked to in the box to the right.
Ships are the main focus of this wiki. Their link must appear in their respective universe. Each ship has, should and will have only one page. It is required to contain a description (canon descriptions are prefered, but if none are available, you will have to write it, based only on what is known about that ship). Also at least one picture is mandatory! Specs are optional but should be added if possible. Also it is required to mentioned where it first appeared. Also to be noted is the fact that we are discussing ships classes here, so no Enterprise, Battlestar Galactica and others, ok? Ship classes!
|Full Thrust Starships
|Nexus the Jupiter Incident
|Star Trek
|Babylon 5
|Chicken Invaders
|Dark Pirates
|Doctor Who
|Facebook Starfleet Commander
|Galactic Imperia
|Space Invasion
Other Tips
Use the discussion page attached to each article if you have a problem with it. Also feel free to contact the person who made that page or one of the main editors of the wiki. Refrain from modifying other person's pages unless there is something seriously wrong about it. Spell checkers have a free hand.
Linking can be quite tricky sometimes. Do not be afraid to ask.
I recommend making an account. This way, you can at least get rid of some of those nasty boxes on the left.
Have fun!

Hey Thomas, thanks for the kind words. We're doing alright, a little quiet these days but hey it happens. Yeah, not official but the staff'll discuss whether we should be or not when they get to it. We're not in a hurry though so no biggie.
Hey guys, how are we today?
I would've thought by now you guys would be official, you have 9 members (or 8 according to the gang system) which is the exact same as the FFM. I think the gang system went 'inactive' again or is ignored, either one.
How about you though? How's the FFM doing lately?
Posted 11 July 2009 - 07:55 AM
I haven't been around much lately to really say about the FFM but I believe we're doing okay.
Past member of the Fiore Family Mafia ;_;

Aha visa versa for me. Haven't fallen asleep in the last day or so and it's currently 3:02 AM so.. >.>
I'm fine, I haven't really woken up today I have to go to the bank later - bastard cheques take a while to bank
I haven't been around much lately to really say about the FFM but I believe we're doing okay.
Hmm, and cheques are..?

Yeah, and hopefully we can get as many people on as possible when we do get official. We'll hopefully be more organized.

Posted 14 July 2009 - 05:04 AM
Good to hear man. I won't be seeing you in there for a while but a few of our member's will so good deal.
Guys i finally did it! I made a little room on my computer and im gonna finally get San Andreas MTA. My comp might go into laggy mode but whatever it doesnt matter.
Posted 14 July 2009 - 08:37 AM
I guess people not being on and gang not heading towards being official is like cause-effect-cause thing..
Yeah, and hopefully we can get as many people on as possible when we do get official. We'll hopefully be more organized.

Haha yeah NotYouHaha just gave me the word. I think it's safe to say we are.
Congrats on the private forum! I suppose you're official?
@ Noru - Yeah what ever happened to the whole icon thing? I faintly remember people saying it would prove unstable if you already were flaunting an Elite badge around or etc. but I don't even remember if that was it. We're fine though man. Haven't seen much of Earth in a while but we're doing good. We'll probably get a little more active since we're official now. How about you, how's things been?
Posted 17 July 2009 - 12:49 AM
Just to clarify yes they're official now. Hence the private forum.
Posted 17 July 2009 - 03:23 AM
Honestly, don't start a fight here. I've got better things to do. Lil_G, we need at least 100 posts because we would like more active, respectful member, not members who won't be loyal to the gang, and won't stay active on our forums, etc. Obvious? That's how it is around here (and remember this isn't a GTA IV gang).
And Steam, please don't provoke him, seriously.
And thanks for making some useless posts on our chat topic, Lil_G's application has already been finished.
If you're going to continue this discussion, take it to PM.
kk i get it but it doesnt mean i will be active if i have 100 posts, i mean have u seen those posts, im posting and only get 1 or 2 re[plyes its like every1 died in there. Its harder than it looks you know lol anyways i already joined another ps3 gang so i wont apply again, possibly if i ever get gta sa mp or mta, i might.
Nigga, please. Seriously work on your grammar. And stop with the run on sentences!!
I'm also glad and happy that the raiders are finally an official gang. Wooh, lets see an epic battle against the Fiore and the Raids! Oh and guys I'm trying to spend a hunt on trying to find a PC and customizing the performance. I just need a place to find the specs. Do any of you know?

You can choose from PC's with AMD processors or Intel.
I'd go with AMD, cheaper and still does its work.

If you are aiming for a gunner I can tell you it's quite complicated to become a good gunner.
First. Gunners have the worst damage of all classes, although they are the best class you can choose to fight a 1x1 against a MONSTER.
Gunners are pure AC, however we rely a lot on the LK stats as well, we all know the creators of this game don't like gunners in PvP, the proof of that is that they decided that a lot of skills will simply bypass the LK stat. In other words, gunners don't PvP.
The game says LK affects compound but that's a lie. After 100 or 200LK the results can be pretty much the same to any person. LK is the most Effed up stats in this game. In other words, fox and lions can compound as well as any other class. (The Compound Mastery skill has been broken since the game was released)
The lack of a shield will be a pain at higher levels. A suicide build like mine 4 power 4 sense is not for everybody. You should go with 3 or 4 charm to compensate the lack of DP with HP.
The good things about being a gunner. We can hunt and drill items better than any of the other classes.
We can hunt bosses better than anyone else as well. I can take down ANY of trickster bosses in less than 15 seconds(except for Spicy dragon, this one can go up to 25-40 seconds)
About the gear: Extremely hard to find and quite expensive and having MyShop gear is mandatory for a gunner.
That's pretty much about it. Words of a gunner fox playing since 2007.

Extension Gives You More Control Over Your Facebook Privacy
Facebook Messages has a feature that tells you when a chat recipient has seen a message. This "read receipt" is, in true Facebook fashion, both nifty and unsettling. And it brings with it tons of potential for abuse. Unfortunately, there's no built-in method to opt out.
Facebook's privacy interface has undergone change upon change, yet some needed controls simply don't exist—and these days consumer privacy depends heavily on control. Luckily, the developers over at Crossrider have an extension, Chat Undetected, that disables the read receipt feature. The extension is available for Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. (Note: When using Windows, we highly suggest using Chat Undetected on a browser like Firefox or Chrome, which do not require downloading and installing a .exe file.)
By nature of its popularity, Facebook is inviting developers to customize users' experiences and create useful tools. We're hoping Facebook adopts a policy that allows its users to innovate, create, and—in the spirit of Facebook—hack. Currently, an overly vague Terms of Service has led Facebook to shut down helpful add-ons like Fluff-Busting Purity, which let users configure what news items were shown to them. As FB Purity's developer notes, many of his users stuck around Facebook only because their experience was tailored to their liking.
Often times, these helpful hacks and tools arise from clear needs, such as when Facebook doesn't make it easy to post X or configure Y. In the case of Chat Undetected, users have stepped up to fill a void left by the social network: Facebook should have a way to turn off read receipts.

Catchy jingles of a generation, where are the singers of Queensland's greatest hits now?
- From: The Sunday Mail (Qld)
- February 24, 2013
THEY'RE catchy, memorable and made in Queensland - songs that filled our ears, got stuck in our heads and sometimes our hearts.
We Loved You Brisbane after we Discovered Ourselves at Stefan. We drove to watch the Brisbane Bullets on Friday nights in cars we bought after doing a deal with Denmac.
From sporting teams to advertising jingles, these have become the theme songs to our lives.
But what are the stories behind them? In the '60s, '70s and '80s, jingles were a staple of radio and television with many big-name brands turning to agencies and studios to whip them up a dream song everyone would remember.
"The thing that music can do that nothing else can do is talk to your emotions rapidly," says Garry Smith, who ran Suite 16 studios in Brisbane and lectures on music in advertising at Griffith University.
"If you can hit the emotional buttons in people, it completely sells them before they know they're sold and that's why they remember them."
In the 1980s, campaign jingles often involved big bands, big budgets, several singers and sometimes an orchestra. They went out of vogue in the 1990s, says industry expert, Campaign Brief editor Michael Lynch, but they're still as effective as ever.
"They're still alive and kicking in country areas. You'll hear a lot more jingles created for smaller clients with smaller budgets," he says.
And while out of fashion now, many of those classic tunes have stuck around.
It was the 30-second TV spot that turned into a three-minute pop song that went to the top of the charts. Love You Brisbane was a promo song for Channel 7 that first went to air in the early 1980s. A number of people sang it - including Wickety Wak - but the version that will forever be remembered was sung by Kim Durant, who made it famous in 1982.
"It was my one and only hit, a very unlikely one, but I got a lot of work from that," says Durant, who today performs every Thursday at the Redlands Sporting Club and also teaches music.
Queenslanders knew him as the frontman for comedy music act Wickety Wak. But not many were aware that Greg Doolan also moonlighted as a jingle singer.
One of Wickety Wak's major commercial ventures was with Brisbane car dealer Denmac Ford. The band sang "Denmac does the deal" at the end of every ad.
Denmac sponsored the band for years, and the boys drove Ford cars and used a Ford semi-trailer for their gear. Even today, Doolan puts a few ad breaks in between songs in shows. "People remember them," he says.
"What comes after L? M? L for Leo, M for Muller." No one knew that song better than Bronwyn Muller and her siblings Bob, Brendan and Beth, whose father owned the Toyota dealership Leo Muller.
They were teased mercilessly for it at school in the 1970s. "The moment you said your name was Muller, that was it," Bronwyn says. "They would say are you related to (singing) 'Leo Muller'?
"I still get it now. It was very annoying but it did work."
Leo Muller was fond of recognising the family's Irish roots and sometimes jokingly styled his name Le O'Muller. He died in 1991, but his name will always be remembered.
Boom boom, we're the Bullets! The Brisbane Bullets theme song blared out at the start of all their games in the 1980s. "It was played for the crowd to gee them up," recalls former coach Brian Kerle. "We played it at functions and school visits. Many kids knew the words to the song."
The man who came up with the tune is Idris Jones, from The Mixtures, who had a No.1 hit in 1970 with The Pushbike Song. Jones went on to write many jingles for businesses and corporates, including Snappy Tom, Birds Eye, Conrad Jupiters and The Courier-Mail."There was a big push on basketball trying to make it a glamorous sport to get people along to the games, and Brisbane Bullets decided they need a jingle," recalls Jones. "I just came home and I remember thinking what can I sing about basketball?
"I wanted to do something catchy like (The Beach Boys) Ba-ba-ba Barbara Ann, so I thought boom, boom, we're the Bullets."
The song was recorded at Garry Smith's Suite 16 studios, and rocking it out in the fim clip were the Bullets star players including Leroy Loggins, Larry Senstock and Ron Radliff.
"I played on it and we recorded it at Suite 16," says Smith, who also produced the Let's Go Broncos song, which was based on a tune from the New York Mets. "We had an absolute ball."
John Gill can hum the tune better than anyone - he is after all "the timber man".
The catchy song that accompanied his TV ads was first commissioned in the early 1980s, and was produced by local broadcaster Ken Jones, who died in 2010.
"It's been an amazing thing," says John Gill, whose father first established the timber business in 1926. "Just about everyone knows it. It's done a huge amount of good for us. We've been running it for about 30 years." The ad has had several incarnations over the years including in the 1980s when it controversially featured scantily clad women in short shorts sitting on piles of timber.
The company got several complaints about that, as well as a few compliments, recalls Gill. The most recent version makes reference to that 1980s ad when a customer comes in and asks "where are the old girls"?
Says Gill with a chuckle: "The scene switches and there's all these elderly ladies that we got from the Cleveland Bowls Club putting timber in racks with big smiles on their faces."
A mystery plane flight led hairstyle king Stefan Ackerie to the song that would bear his name on those catchy TV adverts in the 1980s: Discover Yourself at Stefan. He was visiting his good friend radio entrepreneur Steve Bellinger, in the US, when Bellinger invited him for a ride on his private plane.
"We flew across America and I met this guy called Ralph Krueger," recalls Stefan. Krueger was a jingle guru. He talked with Stefan for two hours about his company philosophy. A year later Stefan was handed a cassette tape with the memorable song Discover Yourself at Stefan.
"The meaning behind it is if you have beautiful hair and you don't do anything with it you're hiding it," says the hairdressing king. "So many people have beautiful hair and they don't know what to do with it."

Expires: November 30
