Date Introduced: 29 May 2003
House: House of Representatives
Portfolio: Attorney-General
Commencement: Royal Assent.
To create a mechanism whereby organisations can be listed as terrorist organisations, relying on the Attorney-General rather than the United Nations Security Council.
An extensive background to the terrorist organisation 'listing' arrangements under the Criminal Code can be found in the Bills Digests to the:
Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002(1)
Criminal Code Amendment (Terrorist Organisations) Act 2002,(2) and
Criminal Code Amendment (Hizballah) Bill 2003 (Hizballah Bill).(3)
For present purposes, it is sufficient to note that the present Bill and the Hizballah Bill both seek to amend Part 5.3 of the Commonwealth Criminal Code. Part 5.3 deals with terrorism. It contains provisions creating terrorist act offences (Division 101), terrorist organisation offences (Division 102) and financing of terrorism offences (Division 103). Division 102 also contains provisions which enable regulations to be made listing an organisation as a terrorist organisation in certain circumstances.
As originally introduced in the Security Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Bill 2002, the 'listing' arrangements would have enabled the Attorney-General to proscribe an organisation if he or she was satisfied on reasonable grounds that:
the organisation or one of its members had committed or was committing a terrorist offence, irrespective of whether a charge had been laid or conviction obtained, or
the declaration was reasonably appropriate to give effect to a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) decision that it was an international terrorist organisation, or
the organisation posed a danger to the security or integrity of the Commonwealth or another country.
(1) The Attorney‑General may make a declaration in writing that an organisation is a proscribed organisation if the Attorney‑General is satisfied on reasonable grounds that one or more of the following paragraphs apply in relation to the organisation:
(a) if the organisation is a body corporate the organisation has committed, or is committing, an offence against this Part (whether or not the organisation has been charged with, or convicted of, the offence);
(b) a member of the organisation has committed, or is committing, an offence against this Part on behalf of the organisation (whether or not the member has been charged with, or convicted of, the offence);
(c) the declaration is reasonably appropriate to give effect to a decision of the Security Council of the United Nations that the organisation is an international terrorist organisation;
(d) the organisation has endangered, or is likely to endanger, the security or integrity of the Commonwealth or another country.
These arrangements were substantially altered in the Bill's passage through Parliament. First, the ministerial declaration process was replaced with a regulation making power, based on the satisfaction of the Attorney-General as to the matters outlined above. The regulations would have been subject to the usual disallowance procedure set out in the Acts Interpretation Act 1901(4) but contained an additional safeguard. Proposed subsection 102.1(4) provided that regulations would not take effect until the disallowance period had expired.(5) Second, the 'danger to security or integrity' formula was removed from the regime.
The Government amendments in the Senate allowed for both Ministerial and UNSC listing and took this form:(6)
terrorist organisation means:
(a) an organisation that is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act (whether or not the terrorist act occurs); or
(b) an organisation that is specified by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph (see subsections (2) and (4)); or
(c) an organisation that is specified by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph (see subsections (3), (5) and (6)).
(2) Before the Governor-General makes a regulation specifying an organisation for the purposes of paragraph (b) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section, the Minister must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that the organisation is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act (whether or not the terrorist act has occurred or will occur).
(3) Before the Governor-General makes a regulation specifying an organisation for the purposes of paragraph (c) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section, the Minister must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that:
(a) the Security Council of the United Nations has made a decision relating wholly or partly to terrorism; and
(b) the organisation is identified in the decision, or using a mechanism established under the decision, as an organisation to which the decision relates; and
(c) the organisation is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act (whether or not the terrorist act has occurred or will occur).
(4) Regulations for the purposes of paragraph (b) or (c) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section may not take effect earlier than the day after the last day on which they may be disallowed under section 48 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901. That section has effect subject to this subsection.
Third, the ministerial discretion was effectively removed, forcing a reliance on decisions, or resolutions, by the UNSC on terrorism or terrorist organisations. This regime was enacted and became section 102.1 of the Criminal Code:
(3) Before the Governor‑General makes a regulation specifying an organisation for the purposes of paragraph (c) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section, the Minister must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that:
So, paragraph (b) of the definition of terrorist organisation was removed, along with corresponding subsection (2), the ministerial discretion provision. The provisions were not renumbered.
This left one way in which a regulation could be made listing a terrorist organisation if the Minister was satisfied on reasonable grounds about three things. First, that the UNSC had made a decision relating to terrorism; second, that the organisation was identified in that decision as 'an organisation to which the decision relates'; and third that the organisation was directly or indirectly involved in terrorist activity.(7)
The reason for removing 'paragraph (b)' was stated by Senator Faulkner as follows:
In response to strong objections to the government's proposed proscription regime we have before the chamber now a proposal which puts forward a regime with three alternative limbs limb 1 is an organisation found by a court to be engaged in a terrorist act, limb 2 is an organisation which is the subject of a decision by the United Nations Security Council that it is an international terrorist organisation, and limb 3 is an organisation which the Attorney- General is satisfied on reasonable grounds is engaged in a terrorist act. Of those, limbs 2 and 3 require that the Attorney-General make a regulation and do not take effect until the disallowance period has expired. The government has said that such a decision would also be open to judicial review. I indicated earlier the very serious concerns the opposition has that the government's approach still includes an executive discretion to proscribe organisations.(8)
Clearly, the focus of concern was the 'executive discretion to proscribe organisations':
That proposal remains unacceptable to the opposition and we are moving for it to be deleted. We do not support giving such wide powers, such arbitrary powers, to any minister of any government. We say that such powers are open to abuse. While we do have a very strong in principle objection to executive proscription, we have said that we are prepared to accept listing of an organisation declared to be a terrorist organisation by the United Nations Security Council. I want to point out that there is a fundamental need in the war against terrorism to have international cooperation. We say that in the same way that this parliament and the Australian people should expect Australia to cooperate with the United Nations committee processes in relation to human rights issues, whether it is refugee or environmental issues or the whole raft of other important questions, Australia should cooperate as best as we can with the international community and the United Nations effort to target and destroy terrorist organisations. This is an international struggle, and if the international community through the United Nations Security Council declares an organisation to be a terrorist organisation we do accept that such an organisation should be banned.(9)
Section 102.1 of the Criminal Code did not remain in its original form for long. The Criminal Code Amendment (Terrorist Organisations) Act 2002, which commenced on 23 October 2002, repealed subsection 102.1(4). As a result, terrorist organisation regulations made by the Governor-General no longer have their operation postponed to the end of the disallowance period. They commence on gazettal or as otherwise specified.
The reason behind removing subsection 102.1(4) was stated by the Attorney-General:
Under the act, in its present form, regulations made now that list an organisation as a terrorist organisation will not come into operation until after the parliamentary disallowance period has ended, in 2003. This is because there are insufficient sitting days in the remainder of the sitting schedule to satisfy the required waiting period.
This means that the government cannot complete the listing of a terrorist organisation such as a terrorist organisation believed to be involved in the Bali bombing until next year. As a result, even though there may be known members of a terrorist organisation here in Australia, this will limit the ability of authorities to investigate them and, if there is enough evidence, to prosecute them, until well into 2003. This is totally unacceptable. We need to be able to act swiftly (10)
The Bills Digest to the Hizballah Bill contains a discussion of the reference of State powers on terrorism to the Commonwealth under section 51(xxxvii) of the Constitution.
In the process of referrals, and the subsequent re-enactment of Part 5.3 of the Criminal Code under the Criminal Code Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2003, section 102.1 was renumbered, such that paragraph (c) is paragraph (b) and subsection (3) is subsection (2):
(b) an organisation that is specified by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph (see subsections (2), (3) and (4)).
(2) Before the Governor‑General makes a regulation specifying an organisation for the purposes of paragraph (b) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section, the Minister must be satisfied on reasonable grounds that:
(c) the organisation is directly or indirectly engaged in, preparing, planning, assisting in or fostering the doing of a terrorist act (whether or not the terrorist act has occurred or will occur). [ ]
Finally, it is necessary to trace through the machinery provisions in section 102.1 which govern the duration and expiry of regulations made under subsection 102.1(2):
(3) Regulations for the purposes of paragraph (b) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section cease to have effect on the second anniversary of the day on which they take effect. To avoid doubt, this subsection does not prevent:
(a) the repeal of those regulations; or
(b) the cessation of effect of those regulations under subsection (4); or
(c) the making of new regulations the same in substance as those regulations (whether the new regulations are made or take effect before or after those regulations cease to have effect because of this subsection).
(4) A regulation specifying an organisation for the purposes of paragraph (b) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section ceases to have effect when:
(a) the decision mentioned in paragraph (2)(a) ceases to have effect; or
(b) the organisation ceases to be identified as described in paragraph (2)(b).
The regulation does not revive even if the organisation is again identified as described in paragraph (2)(b).
(5) To avoid doubt, subsection (4) does not prevent:
(a) the repeal of a regulation; or
(b) the making of a regulation that is the same in substance as a regulation that has ceased to have effect because of that subsection.
(6) For the purpose of making regulations specifying an organisation for the purposes of paragraph (b) of the definition of terrorist organisation in this section, it does not matter whether the relevant decision of the Security Council of the United Nations was made before or after 6 July 2002.
So, regulations which implement a decision of the United Nations Security Council have a two-year sunset clause but may cease earlier if the regulations are repealed or if the basis for the regulations, in the decision of the United Nations Security Council, falls away. Otherwise, the regulations can be remade at any time.
Regulations may also provide their own time limits or expiry dates.
For completeness, it is also worth noting that the present Bill was introduced into the Parliament on the same day as the Criminal Code Amendment (Hizballah) Bill 2003. The latter is designed to give the Government a power to 'list' organisations as terrorist organisations provided they fit the definition of 'Hizballah External Security Organisation', or a derivative organisation, and provided the Attorney-General is satisfied that the organisation is directly or indirectly engaged in terrorism.
While the Opposition has supported the Hizballah Bill, the Government does not expect the present Bill to pass the Parliament. The Attorney-General said in his Second Reading Speech that:
the opposition has indicated that it will not support the [terrorist organisation] bill.
In such circumstances, the government is introducing a second bill, the Criminal Code Amendment (Hizballah) Bill 2003 that will allow the terrorist wing of Hezbollah to be listed in regulations, providing the statutory criteria for listing is met.
This bill [the Terrorist Organisations Bill] is intended to be complementary, not an alternative to the [Hizballah] bill.
Together they create a legislative framework that deals with the immediate issue of the security threat represented by the terrorist wing of Hezbollah, and the longer term issue of how Australia can act independently of the Security Council in relation to our domestic criminal laws.
While we support the opposition's indication that it will support the government's Hezbollah specific bill, the opposition has indicated that it will continue to obstruct passage of our first bill.
The government intend to vigorously pursue passage of our first bill.(11)
The fate of the present Bill is yet to be decided, so whether it could become a double dissolution trigger is a matter of speculation. It is noteworthy, however, that four potential double dissolution bills already exist.(12) Should the Government wish to take all or some of these to a double dissolution election, Parliament would have to be dissolved by 11 August 2004.(13) The latest date for a double dissolution election is 16 October 2004.(14)
In the United Kingdom, United States and Canada, proscription is controlled by the Parliament or Executive.
Under the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1974 (UK) an organisation could be proscribed either by legislative amendment or by legislative instrument. The Secretary of State was empowered to add any organisation 'that appears to him to be concerned in terrorism or in promoting or encouraging it'.(15) Under the Terrorism Act 2000 (UK) the Secretary of State is empowered to add any organisation 'if he believes that it is concerned in terrorism',(16) subject to an application-based power to revoke(17) and a right of appeal to a judicial review-based appeal body,(18) and, by leave, to a superior court.(19)
Under the Anti-terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (US) the Secretary of State was empowered to designate any foreign organisation 'if he finds that' it is engaged in terrorist activity,(20) subject to a power to revoke,(21) a codified judicial review process(22) and disallowance by an Act of Congress.(23)
Under the Anti-Terrorism Act 2002 (CA) the Canadian Governor-in-Council may proscribe an organisation if satisfied that there are 'reasonable grounds to believe' that it is knowingly involved in terrorism or is knowingly acting on behalf of or at the direction of or in association with such an entity.(24) This is subject to an application based power to revoke and a partially codified judicial review process.(25)
Thus, in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada, while the Executive has a primary role, supervisory control is vested in the Judiciary (to varying degrees). Clearly, attempts to establish effective proscription processes have had to grapple with the need to balance the roles of the Parliament, Executive and Judiciary.
The Terrorism Suppression Act 2002 (NZ) enables organisations to be designated as terrorist or associated entities. Among other things, is an offence to participate in such groups or undertake financial dealings with such groups.
The Act enables the Prime Minister to make interim and final designations that a group is a terrorist or associated entity. The grounds on which such designations can be made and the procedure for making them are set out in the Act. The designation must be publicly notified and must be notified to the organisation if a representative of that organisation is in New Zealand. Designations expire 3 years after they have been made unless earlier revoked by the Attorney-General or have been successfully challenged on judicial review grounds or have had their operation extended via a High Court decision. In order for the High Court to extend the operation of the designation the Attorney-General must apply to the Court for the designation to remain in force. The application must be served on any person the Court directs it to be served on.
The High Court cannot make an extension order unless the grounds set out in section 37 are made out. These include that the Attorney-General satisfies the Court on the balance of probabilities that the organisation is the subject of domestic or international criminal proceedings, has been convicted, or has acted knowingly in relation to certain principal or ancillary terrorist offences (terrorist acts, facilitating terrorist acts, or assisting such acts). These provisions also extend to organisations that are, on the balance of probabilities, wholly owned, or effectively controlled, directly or indirectly, by such an organisation.
Also, it is worth noting the struggle played out in the Northern Territory in respect of the anti-terrorism provisions in the Criminal Code (NT). Originally, these provisions applied to 'proscribed organisations'. These were identified by the Administrator, acting on the advice of the Executive Council, with a simple parliamentary tabling requirement.(26) Early drafts of these provisions 'contained no criteria or procedures relating to such proscription'.(27) As enacted, they simply required, in the opinion of the Administrator, the organisation 'has as its object or one of its objects the use of violence to achieve its end' or that the members have 'demonstrated a propensity to use violence to achieve the organisation's ends'. The power to 'proscribe organisations' was strongly criticised on the basis that it had 'potential implications for interference with a number of civil rights'(28) and, on that basis, should be 'the subject of impartial judicial consideration'.(29) The response at the time was that an appeal to the courts would take a sensitive issue out of the Parliament. It would be 'an extraordinary, novel and dangerous precedent'(30) and would 'politicise the judiciary'.(31) But, within a year the issue was reviewed and, pursuant to an agreement between the Commonwealth and the Northern Territory,(32) control was surrendered to the courts.(33)
Apart from obvious differences regarding the range of terrorist organisations covered, the main provisions of the present Bill correspond fairly closely to those of the Hizballah Bill.
Item 1 repeals subsection 102.1(2) of the Criminal Code and replaces it with proposed subsection 102.1(2). The effect of proposed subsection 102.1(2) is that the UNSC basis for listing terrorist organisations is replaced by the ministerial discretion that was once proposed by the Government in the Senate.
In effect, the version of 'paragraph (b)' of the definition, and the corresponding subsection (2), that was removed by Opposition amendments in the Senate in June 2002,(34) is reinstated and exiting 'paragraph (c)', and corresponding subsection (3), is removed.
In short the original proposal is reinstated and the connection with the UNSC is severed.
Item 2 deals with the machinery provisions.
Proposed subsection 102.1(4) effectively allows a 'terrorist organisation' to be 'de-listed' if the Minister 'ceases to be satisfied' that the organisation is directly or indirectly engaged in or assisting in (etc) terrorist acts. The way that de-listing works is that the Minister publishes a declaration in the Gazette. Once the declaration is made, the regulations cease to have effect. The Minister's de-listing is not subject to parliamentary review ie it is not a disallowable instrument. An organisation that has been 'de-listed' can be re-listed [proposed subsection 102.1(5)].

Fireflight Evolves Stylistically, Musically on For Those Who Wait
- Andy Argyrakis CCMmagazine.com
- 2010 30 Mar
Artist: Fireflight
Title: For Those Who Wait
Label: Flicker Records
Female fronted rock on overdrive …
For its third full-length CD, Fireflight left the runway with the goal of evolving stylistically and musically, and as the results on For Those Who Wait indicate, that mission was mostly accomplished. Now that the band's earned several radio singles and some Dove nods, the female-fronted troupe seems to have rallied the confidence and the cohesion it lacked across earlier albums.
Part of that growth process also steered the group towards greater accessibility, while still retaining its harder edges for more aggressive audiences. The title track, "Desperate" and "You Give Me That Feeling" are all shell shocking examples of the group's gritty guitars and the ferocity of front woman Dawn Michele, as the lyrics take an authentic approach to living a Christ-centered life that dares to go against the grain of the secular society. "Name" and "Recovery Begins" are perhaps the most contemplative tracks in the band's catalogue to date, and while they lack the guts of the above, these softer moments help add variety to the collection.
Even with all the praises, Fireflight still retains some generic elements, often times teasing audiences with explosive pockets, but never fully letting loose. The same can be said on ballad fronts, which are certainly poignant in their own regard, but fail to break the mold of other modern rockers temporarily adapting a stripped down approach. Nonetheless, the third time is indeed the closest Fireflight's come to a charm thus far and indicates a prosperous future for the fairly productive act.

One of several games based on the 1990s cartoon series Taz-Mania (in turn based on the Looney Tunes character), the Game Gear version has a unique design and set of levels.As in the other Sega versions, the story is about Taz setting off to find an egg of a legendary prehistoric bird, but the game does away with any kind of introduction and drops the player right into the action. Each of the nine levels of the game is based on a unique concept or gameplay mechanic. These include escaping from a giant boulder, riding a mine cart, or a ski ride down a steep mountain (Indiana Jones sends his regards). Several levels are auto-scrolling: one sends Taz sliding along across icy surfaces, another forces him to follow a tree log down a river with the catch that he can't stay on it too long or it will sink.
If there are any enemies in Taz' way, he can jump on top of them to dispose them or alternatively use his trademark whirlwind spin. The spin also allows him to jump higher and farther, but will also drain his health. This in turn can be refilled by picking up snacks lying along the way.

How long do you think till this bad boy able to bought as a used phone? An would you get insurance with it or no? Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums
I think it's standard one year unless you are claiming warranty on the same device to get a refurbished, then it's 90 day. I would give it a few months. On average, people don't usually wait in line for a phone with the exception to iPhones.
Well Im wanting it but can't afford full price... So that why im curious... but if I bought it straight as a cpo so it'd b cheaper.... Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Umstead Early OriginsThe surname Umstead was first found in the counties of Cheshire in north western England where they held a family seat for many centuries, probably well before the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, by Duke William of Normandy. Umstead Spelling VariationsUmstead Spelling VariationsUntil quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Umstead include Armistead, Armitstead, Armystead, Armstead, Olmstead, Ormstead, Ampstead and many more.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationSearching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Umstead or a variant listed above: Umstead Settlers in United States in the 19th Century

Fast. Lean interface. Decent HTML5 support. Excellent tab implementation. Top security and privacy features. All the browsing tools you want. Pinned sites for custom browsing.
No built in Flash or PDF reader. Still lags on new Web tech support (WebGL, e.g.).
Bottom Line
Windows 7 users can now enjoy the speed and compatibility of Internet Explorer 10, formerly the sole province of Windows 8.
Possibly the most realistic way to test browser speed is simply to test how long it takes to load webpages, and this type of study has been done by traffic monitoring organizations like New Relic, Strangeloop, and Compuware. Unfortunately, none of these have released testing for IE10, but the first two show IE9 in the lead, while the last (which doesn't account for hardware configurations) shows Chrome at the top. I've seen comparisons on other tech sites where the reviewer simply watches a page load from the Internet: This produces a completely unreliable, unrepeatable, and in the end, un-helpful set of results. I will simply say that in anecdotal testing of several content heavy sites on a fast broadband connection, IE10 loads them with speed comparable to Chrome, Firefox, and the rest.
Reformat tables so that the title is above the table, in bold, instead of heading up the second column; remember, we talked about this. Also, it might be nice to understand what each test actually tests for. Also, if you're going to put IE9 in some tables, put it in all the tables.

If you were to go just by SunSpider, you'd say that IE10 is the fastest browser in the West. It does improve by an incredible 30 percent over its predecessor, and it beats Chrome by a sturdy 24 percent.

IE10 makes massive gains over IE9 in this benchmark, more than doubling its score. But even that improvement doesn't put it at the head of the class—far from it. At least it's no longer the slowest on this one.

Startup Speed
Also important for any software's performance profile is startup time: The last thing you want when you're itching to get to that favorite site is to wait around for the browser to start up. This applies to both the first time you run the browser after starting up (cold start) and on subsequent runs (warm starts). How fast you can get to that website is greatly affected by this, if your browser isn't already running. The browsers have mostly gotten close on this measure, but there are still some differences. I used the same test system to get these timings:
Browser |
Cold Startup Time |
Warm Startup Time (seconds) |
Internet Explorer 10 |

Internet Explorer 9 |

Opera 12 |

So startup speed clearly isn't a problem for Internet Explorer, though Chrome edges it out a tad in restarts.
Hardware Acceleration
Another area of browser speedup that IE has been a leader in is hardware acceleration—using your PC's graphics card to accelerate browsing. Microsoft has made available demos that test this. I use two of these, Psychedelic Browsing and Particle Acceleration, since they produce comparable benchmark results. Psychedelic Browsing spins a color wheel while playing a whirring sound, and then produces a result in RPMs. Mozilla also offers a hardware acceleration test, but at this point that's just a pass-fail, not showing any differentiation among browsers that do implement hardware acceleration. Note I use a different test machine for Psychedelic Browsing, a 3.16GHz Core2 Duo with an Nvidia GeForce GT 240 on to take advantage of a better graphics card—results will depend heavily on your system's graphics processor.

Maxthon 4 |
333 (correct sound) |
As the browser that introduced the concept of hardware acceleration, IE increases its lead here, though not by as drastic a margin as on some of the other benchmarks.
Particle Acceleration uses 2D Context HTML5 Canvas to spin a 3D sphere composed of smaller colored spheres, and displays several measurements. I use the Draw Time and FPS results, since they're the most consistent. No IE9 score is shown here because that browser version doesn't run on the test tablet, a 1.6GHz Intel Core i5-based tablet with 4GB memory running 64-bit Windows 8 Pro:
HTML5 Particle Acceleration Benchmark |
Draw Time (milliseconds— lower is better) |

Firefox pulls out a surprise here, with the quickest draw time, but IE is well ahead of the rest. I don't report it since it fluctuates too much, but the test's Score result tells a different story, with IE10 ahead by many times over. I'm discussing with Microsoft how to publish reliable numbers for this Score.

Trip Start
Mar 10, 2011
Trip End
May 05, 2011
Where I stayed
I embarked along the Freedom Trail as my introduction to this city an was welcomed with a stiff easterly from the Atlantic. With my guidebook in hand, I battled the weather and attempted to absorb much as possible whilst not losing myself in the labyrinth of roads. Apologies for history buffs out there but after the long day I have come to these conclusions.
It seems that from the outset the American people were not destined to be governed by the motherland. Here was a bunch of ruffians and rejects, persecuted to search for a new land where they face and overcame numerous challenges. They were rewarded with boundless resources and their freedom from oppression - enough to incite jealously in their homeland. When the crown decided it was due some of these spoils, surely they knew what to expect? Of course the former colonists fought desperately, using tactics known well to those with lesser resources - Guerilla. Speed, stealth, espionage and underhanded attacks were able to outsmart and undo the greatest military power of the time. The glory of the war is still displayed proudly at the naval base. The U.S.S. Constitution is still in service after more than two hundred years. She is a testament to the ambition and power of the infant nation, lovingly preserved to be admired for the future generations.
Before ending the Freedom Trail I decided somewhat bullishly to climb the Bunker Hill monument. 294 steps, several rest stops later, with burning thighs and puffing worse than an asthmatic Thomas the Tank Engine I admired the view of Boston. Also, promised myself to get fit when I got home.
The final stop of my day was the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Some may say that it is a poorer cousin to the Met for it has very similar collections. This would be overlooking the neat organisation and the stunning interiors and frescos by John Singer Seargent. It also contains a small, but stunning post-modernist collection with Picasso's chilling representation of Rape of the Sabine Women and Gauguin's Tahitian opus.

Chris Reis is a loyal follower of Christ, devoted husband and father, philanthropist, Super Bowl champion, NFL player, author, inspirational speaker, and lifelong athlete.
He is best known for his historic, game-changing play made during Super Bowl XLIV, and ultimately helping to lead his (then) team, the New Orleans Saints, to victory.
As the first onside kick recovered before the fourth quarter during a Super Bowl game, NFL.com named Chris' play one of the "top 10 greatest Super Bowl plays of the decade," and the actual ball recovered resides in the NFL Hall of Fame.
Chris is a graduate of the Georgia Tech, where he was the president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes throughout his entire college experience. It was here that Chris met his wife, Michelle. It was also within these walls of fellowship that Chris' father Mike felt his own calling to surrender his life to Christ.
Passionate about helping others improve their lives, Chris serves on the board of lüō. lüō is a non-profit organization that works on empowering children in impoverished global communities by providing them with sustainable solutions including nutrition, biblical curriculum, education, and medical care. (For more information, please visit www.luo-setfree.org.
Today Chris travels the country speaking to men's groups, churches and religious organizations, rotary clubs, youth groups, touchdown clubs and corporations, inspiring others by sharing his story of living a faith-based lifestyle in an ego-centric culture. His "Live for More" motto inspires many who may find trusting God in today's culture to be more and more daunting.
Chris lives in Lafayette, Louisiana with his wife Michelle, daughter Piper, and son Rowan.
On February 7, 2010, trailing 10-6 to the Indianapolis Colts at halftime of Super Bowl XLIV, New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton made one of the gutsiest calls in Super Bowl history when they started the second half with an onside kick called Ambush.
Chris Reis, a back-up safety and special teams player, wasn't supposed to recover the onside kick, but when the squiggling ball bounced off the chest of a Colts player, Chris pounced on the ball—and held on for everything he was worth. His recovery changed the tenor of the game and propelled the Saints to their first Super Bowl victory—and gave their Hurricane Katrina-weary fans something to cheer about.
Watching the Super Bowl game that day in Miami was Chris' father, Mike. He needed his own recovery—a recovery from his addiction to alcohol, sex, and a life filled with bad choices and poor decisions.
Mike Reis grew up on the working class streets of Chicago, the son of a boozing father and a teenage mother who struggled with life. Sexually abused and terrorized by his grandmother, Mike and his family moved during his teen years to Atlanta, where he discovered sex at an early age and numbed his emotional pain with alcohol.
An early marriage to a high school sweetheart and the subsequent birth of two sons failed to tame his desire for sexual trysts and all-night drinking escapades. An affair led to the destruction of his first marriage and left two preschool-aged sons without a father in the home.
The younger son was Chris Reis, a two-year-old who didn't understand why his father had abandoned him, and the distance between father and son remained a chasm as wide as the Grand Canyon during the boy's younger years.
After his playing days at Georgia Tech, Chris won a spot on the New Orleans Saints roster. After his recovery of the onside kick in Super Bowl XLIV, there was one more recovery that needed to be made in Chris' family—his father.
Recovery of a Lifetime is a father-and-son book that unpacks the dynamics of family relationships and tells a redeeming story of faith, hope, restoration, and recovery

UEA Convention
It was good to see many of you down at the Southtown Exposition Center last week for the UEA Convention. I liked the new venue because of the easy access and free parking. The convention hall seemed more open and it was easier to find sessions. I spent most of my time at the membership booth and the Read Across America session where we gave away hundreds of books to students eager to read.

Ticket #9286 (closed defect: duplicate)
vboxdrv blocks suspend
Reported by: | domingo | Owned by: | |
Priority: | major | Component: | other |
Version: | VirtualBox 4.1.0 | Keywords: | |
Cc: | Guest type: | other | |
Host type: | Linux |
After upgrading to 4.1 r73009 the vboxdrv service blocks the host machine to go into suspend.
I cannot tell if I get a kernel panic but the caps lock button lights up.
If I stop the driver service before I send the host into suspend it succeeds. The second I start it and try to suspend it fails.
The failure occurs no matter what guest I've running or even without starting Virtualbox at all. Right after boot up I can try to send the host into suspend and it will fail/succeed depending on if vboxdrv is started or not.
The host is Ubuntu Natty running stock kernel 2.6.38-10-generic

What is a Destination Wedding?
When a couple decides that they want to exchange their vows and celebrate their love in a beautiful location that they and their guests will have to travel to, they are deciding on a Destination Wedding. The entire wedding party will travel to the destination and enjoy a long weekend - or an entire week - to be on vacation while attending the wedding.
Why plan a Destination Wedding?
There are many reasons to choose a destination wedding. Often, couples look to a Destination Wedding as a way to have a unique and memorable wedding experience. Often, when looking at a guest list, many people will have to travel from far away states or countries. A Destination Wedding allows them to travel somewhere where they can also enjoy a relaxing vacation. Some couples are in love with the destination, and want to spend the most special day of their lives with their families and friends in this ideal location. More couples decide upon a destination wedding as they are from different areas of the country, and do not want to decide against one hometown or the other, so they opt to go to a location that will, from now on, be somewhere special to each of them.

Wet Lasagne
Hi, I've been attempting the roasted vegetable lasagna, but the dish turns out rather watery. I'm sure it should be firmer that this, so I must be doing something wrong. Can you help?
Q&A's? We are here to help. We being Delia and Lindsey. We work closely together and can answer any queries you have relating to Delia's recipes and our online Cookery School. Why not ask a question right now? What we can't do though, is answer questions about other recipes. (For general website queries or technical questions please click here)
Hi, I've been attempting the roasted vegetable lasagna, but the dish turns out rather watery. I'm sure it should be firmer that this, so I must be doing something wrong. Can you help?
Sometimes, especially when using very rich pastry dough, it's almost impossible to roll out the pastry. I know you can use two sheets of greeseproof paper and that does help.
However, I'm wondering if silicone paper, like bake o glide would be a better option, or maybe it is to thick.
What do you think?
In the Coffee & Walnut Cake recipe it says to preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Would you adjust this for a fan oven? My oven is newish so it still quite accurate. Thanks :-)
Hello Lindsey I am making hot and sour prawns and expect to marinade for 48 hrs but the instructions on the fresh prawn labelling says eat within 24 hrs of opening - does the marinade preserve and extend their life once out of their vacuum packaging - I have 30 people coming to lunch on Saturday 1st April and expect to commence marinade on Wednesday? What do you think??!
This Christmas I made a sugarless fruit cake recipe, from one of my delia books, for my husband who has cancer. It was totally delicious and I would like to use it as a staple treat for the cupboard.

Mars at Opposition II [1]
Sunrise on Mars often sees frost and patches of fog and low clouds. They usually disappear by noon. But details of these cold, gray mornings remain unclear. How the fog and clouds form, and where and what times of year they're most common are a bit...well, foggy.
A spacecraft may soon shine a little more light on those questions. It's being moved to a new position that'll allow it to view early morning conditions for half of each orbit around Mars. The maneuver began in February, but won't be completed until November of next year.
Odyssey is the longest-operating Mars spacecraft — it arrived at the Red Planet in 2002. It orbits from pole to pole. It's been synchronized so that for half of its orbit it's seeing the ground at 4 to 5 p.m. local time. The other half of the orbit is before sunrise.
Sunrise conditions have received little attention from any Mars orbiter. A few observations by those orbiters — as well as from landers and rovers — show that morning frost, fog, and clouds are fairly common. Odyssey's new orbit will allow scientists to study these conditions in much more detail — filling in some gaps in our knowledge of Martian weather.
And Mars is in spectacular view right now. It's low in the east-southeast at nightfall, shining like a brilliant orange beacon. It scoots across the south during the night and is low in the west at dawn — if you can see it through the morning fog and clouds here on Earth.

DNA is the new frontier of genealogy. It has become an important part of WikiTree's mission to connect the human family on one accurate single family tree.
Put Your Test Results into Action
WikiTree doesn't offer DNA testing and we don't host DNA test results. You don't "upload your DNA" to WikiTree. We focus on what we do best: genealogy collaboration.
If you've taken a DNA test for genealogy — the major testing companies are Family Tree DNA, AncestryDNA, 23andMe and MyHeritageDNA — WikiTree enables you to put your DNA test results into action.
The primary reason to take a DNA test for many genealogists is the matches. The testing company will compare markers in your DNA with those of other customers. They then enable you to contact matches who are likely to be your distant cousins. It's up to you to figure out exactly how you're related and what to do from there.
This is where WikiTree comes in.
- We specialize in helping you share and collaborate with your matches.
- We also approach things from the opposite direction. We connect distant cousins who might be matches so that they can compare test results. As a single, collaborative tree we are constantly connecting cousins. Many of them have taken DNA tests and their test results may be useful in either scientifically confirming or rejecting (yes, that's part of it!) the family tree relationships that we have put together using traditional genealogy, i.e. paper trails and personal recollections.
See DNA Features for more about the details. Some of it is quite complicated. Don't worry about understanding it all right now! You might just want to skip to the tips on working with your matches.
But ... before anything else ... select which test you have taken here. This simple, two-minute step gets things started in the background. We automatically connect the fact that you've taken a test to ancestors' and cousins' profiles where your test might be valuable.
Help from the Community
You might have questions about using DNA for genealogy. If you don't now, you will! This is all new and the field is rapidly expanding.
WikiTree is lucky to have some professional geneticists and leaders in genetic genealogy participating in our community. We also have a lot of members, perhaps like yourself, who aren't experts but are learning and are willing to help each other learn.
Come to our Genealogist-to-Genealogist (G2G) Forum and ask whatever questions you have. Be sure to tag your questions DNA to make sure they're seen by the right people.
If you like, you can browse past discussions. And there's a DNA FAQ with Q&A on WikiTree's DNA Features.
If you consider yourself a bit more experienced, have an interest in helping others, and might want to participate in discussions on how WikiTree can further integrate DNA, follow the tag DNA and consider joining our DNA Project.

The mouse capture is a windows feature that can direct all mouse messages to a single window or control (HWND) even if the cursor is outside of the specified window. I assume that you are familiar with this feature and the related API (SetCapture(HWND), ReleaseCapture(), and WM_CAPTURECHANGED) and I want to show you a common mistake that developers often make. There are some custom controls and custom windows that sometimes need to capture the mouse, usually for the time of completing an operation. The window chooser (crosshair) control of spy++ is a good example, it allows you to drag a crosshair over a window on your desktop to select a HWND. Spy++ needs to capture the mouse because during mouse capture the HWNDs under the cursor never receive WM_SETCURSOR messages, so windows of other programs don't have the chance to change the cursor (crosshair) that is defined by spy++. After establishing the mouse capture for example for your file list dragging/copying operation, you can call SetCursor() to setup a dragging cursor and it won't change until you release the capture even if the user drags the cursor over the window of other applications. Don't be afraid of calling SetCursor(), WM_SETCURSOR does this millions of times on nearly all mouse messages, after releasing the capture someone will soon receive a mouse message and a WM_SETCURSOR in response to this restoring the original cursor. If you want to be extra safe, then you can call SetCursor() also at the end of the operation. My example program creates a window that you can move by dragging its client area. This behavior could be achieved just by returning HTCAPTION when the DefWindowProc() would return HTCLIENT in response to the WM_NCHITTEST window message, but with that solution, your main loop isn't running, as if you were dragging the window by its title bar (because windows runs its own message loop to do the job). Some programs (media players, games) usually make the whole window ownerdraw and provide the window-dragging feature with a codepiece found in my example program. This way, your main message loop keeps running. This window move feature needs the capture because if you press down the left mouse button and then pull out the cursor from the client area outside the window crazily the window mover code still wants to receive the WM_MOUSEMOVE message.
Let's see how is this "moving by grabbing the client area" feature works:
The main point of this article is the thing that you should do inside your WM_LBUTTONUP and WM_CAPTURECHANGED handler. It is important that WM_LBUTTONUP just releases the capture and only WM_CAPTURECHANGED ends the dragging operation!!! The reason for this is that the dragging operation can be ended for example by pressing ALT+TAB. In this case, you do not receive a WM_LBUTTONUP message, but you still lose your capture and WM_CAPTURECHANGED is received ending the drag operation. If you put the "drag operation ending" code to your WM_LBUTTONUP then your program still loses the capture on ALT+TAB but another big window may come to the forground masking your whole window that logically still thinks that it is being dragged (so it is in inconsistent state).
So the conclusion is, always put the ending of the operation to your WM_CAPTURECHANGED handler, and call ReleaseCapture() from other places where you want to end the operation!!! These places can be anywhere, in the WM_LBUTTONUP, WM_MOUSEMOVE handlers...
Compile my example code, and try to bring a big window to the foreground with ALT+TAB so that it covers the whole window of my example program while you are dragging it by its client area. Everything will work fine even after releasing the mouse button and switching back to the example program. Hovering over the example window is OK. Then comment out the WM_LBUTTONUP and WM_CAPTURECHANGED handlers and uncomment the buggy versions of these! Try the ALT+TAB again! After ALT+TAB, release the left mouse button and switch back to our window with ALT+TAB and try to hover with the cursor over our window, and try extreme cursor speeds as well! The window behaves crazy until you click on it with the left button to serve it a WM_LBUTTONUP message! :laugh:

Arizona immigration law heads to court, with $1.2 million war chest
First of seven lawsuits against tough Arizona immigration law is heard Thursday in federal court in Phoenix. Money from private donors across the US has flowed into a defense fund for the statute.
Tucson, Ariz. — As Arizona heads to court Thursday to defend its tough new immigration law in the first of several legal challenges, it has the backing of many Americans who have opened their wallets to show support for the border state.
Contributions to Gov. Jan Brewer's special legal defense fund now top $1 million, mostly in website donations of less than $100 pouring in from all over the country. Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida are the states with the most online donors.
As of Tuesday, website contributions totaled $1,104934.63 from 23,955 donors, according to the governor's office. Additional mail-in donations totaled $93,084, with contributions still coming in, says Tasya Peterson, a Brewer spokeswoman. The average donation is about $46.
The Republican governor set up the fund by executive order in late May to help the state defend its right to enforce the law, which requires local and state authorities to determine the status of suspects they believe to be in the country illegally. The law, which the governor signed in April, has spawned economic boycotts and seven lawsuits – including one by the US Department of Justice filed July 6 – that seek to stop the law, known locally as Senate Bill 1070, from going into effect July 29.
The financial contributions surged after the Obama administration filed its suit, reflecting opinion polls that show strong support for Arizona. In a Christian Science Monitor/TIPP poll released Monday, 51 percent of Americans favor the state's immigration law. Thirty four percent support the federal government's case against the state.
Phoenix resident Carlie Murphy, a retiree who has lived in Arizona for five years, says she contributed $20 because the state is trying to address what the federal government has neglected. "Our federal government has not fulfilled its responsibility for a long, long time when it comes to illegal immigration," she says.
Jeanne Kurucz and her husband, Andrew, of Garden Grove, Calif., donated $25 because they don't think the federal government should be suing Arizona. "We stand behind Jan Brewer and we think that the government should close the borders," Ms. Kurucz says.
Brewer and her backers say Arizona had to act because the federal government has failed to secure the border, but critics say the law will encourage racial profiling and is unconstitutional because enforcing immigration laws is a federal duty, not a state responsibility.
It is difficult to accurately estimate how much legal costs will total, says Paul Senseman, Brewer's communications director. "It depends on many variables including the outcome of the cases, possible appeals, if new cases are filed, if the federal government continues to sue the state, etc."
Arizona's defense rests in the hands of private lawyers. Attorney General Terry Goddard, a Democrat who opposes the law, withdrew from representing the state in court after continuing clashes with Brewer, a Republican. Both are running for governor.
Brewer hired Snell & Wilmer LLC, a corporate law firm based in Phoenix, to defend the state. Chairman John Bouma says attorneys are working long hours on behalf of the state. Adjusted hourly rates for the state's primary attorneys vary from $225 to $450 per hour, according to the firm's contract with the state.
Thursday's lawsuit before US District Judge Susan Bolton was filed by Phoenix police officer David Salgado. Various organizations, including immigrant-advocacy groups and the ACLU, filed subsequent legal challenges. The Justice Department suit contends that the law interferes with federal authority, and attorneys for both sides will argue that case before Judge Bolton on July 22. [Editor's note: The original version of this paragraph misidentified the plaintiff in the case being heard Thursday, July 15.)

Empire Avenue has made several changes to dividend and earnings system. Here's everything you need to know #EAvs new system.
Empire Avenue felt their dividend algorithm was to easy for spammers to exploit and recently changed it up. I used to be the #1 earning influencer in the US., now it's Chris Pirillo. To me it makes sense that he should be there over me (I know you probably disagree but it's ok, he's a cool dude). This suggests to me the changes are having the proper effect. Remember: We are all affected by these changes. Even if we don't like them we are still on the same playing field and all under the same system. If everyones divs go down together has anything really "changed?"
