Hi Jeremy,
I am akshay from India,i have been using factory_map to get the object of a class at the run time , but i am not been able to get access of the functions which are non static or non const ,
please suggest me any way to do so.
thank you in advance

You will have to be more specific.
Naturally, if you're using a factory, only those methods which are declared virtual in the base class are going to be callable across the shared library boundary. If you need more than this, I'd suggest using Boost.Reflection.

Hmmm I can't access http://redshoelace.dlinkddns.com:9080/boost/extension_reflection12Feb08.zip?
Still some probs?

My ISP is having connectivity problems lately. I'd suggest downloading from the Subversion repository anyway - to get the latest build (which should work better than the build from February).
svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox sandbox
This will actually check out the whole sandbox - you can look at an earlier post for the actual location of reflection and extension.
- June 16, 2008 at 8:13 AM
Hi Jeremy,
I tried out your boost.extension library on Linux (gcc-4.2.4) but the simple word example did not work.
No classes are loaded.
factory_list.size() == 0

May 21, 2013
Wed-Mon., May 22-27 -- at NCAA Individual Championships (Urbana, Ill.)
Tournament Central/Live Video | Live Scoring | Singles Draw
For the third year in a row, University of Michigan senior Evan King will represent the Wolverine men's tennis team in the NCAA Individual Championships, to be held Wednesday through Monday (May 22-27) at the University of Illinois' Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex in Urbana, Ill. King, the tournament's No. 11 seed, will take on Georgia's Nathan Pasha, ranked 47th in the latest ITA singles poll, in the first round of the singles draw on Wednesday (May 22) at 8 a.m. CDT.
Senior Evan King, the 2013 Big Ten Athlete of the Year, earned one of the possible 45 at-large selections to the 64-player NCAA singles field. The Wolverine senior boasts a 29-4 record, including a 23-1 dual-match record, and carries a 12-match winning streak into the NCAA Singles Championships.
To become an ITA All-American in singles, a player needs to end the season ranked in the top 20 of the ITA singles poll, enter the individual championships as a seeded player, or win their first two matches of the draw (therein reaching the round of 16). The final national rankings will be released on June 5. By these standards, Evan King will earn All-America honors for the third consecutive season.
Each match at the NCAA Individual Championships will be to the best of three sets. Scoring is the same as in dual matches, but a 12-point tiebreaker will be used.
U-M boasts two NCAA singles champions -- Barry MacKay (1957) and Michael Leach (1982) -- and has garnered 23 ITA All-America selections in program history, including four under head coach Bruce Berque. In 2011, Evan King became the first Michigan player since 1992 to reach the Round of 16 in the singles draw.
Senior Evan King owns the U-M program record for most combined career singles and doubles wins. After two more victories against Virginia Tech in the first round of the NCAA Championships, King upped his career total to 190 wins (113 singles, 79 doubles). Prior to this season, Peter Pusztai previously owned the school record for most combined victories with 180 career triumphs (115 singles, 65 doubles) from 1993-96.
King, who recently earned ITA Midwest Region Senior of the Year accolades, has won 26 of his last 27 matches dating back to Jan. 6.
For the second consecutive year, senior Evan King was named Big Ten Conference Athlete of the Year. King, ranked No. 13 in the latest ITA singles poll, is the first player in U-M history -- and only the fifth player in Big Ten annals -- to win the prestigious award on two occasions. He went a perfect 10-0 in Big Ten dual competition, earning a pair of wins over ranked opponents -- Illinois' 31st-ranked Jared Hiltzik and Minnesota's 49th-ranked Rok Bonin.
On March 6, senior Evan King became only the fifth Wolverine in program history to post 100 career singles victories, accomplishing the feat by defeating Pepperdine's seventh-ranked Sebastian Fanselow, 6-2, 6-4, at the No. 1 singles position.
On March 13, senior Evan King collected his third Big Ten Athlete of the Week accolade of the season after putting together a 3-0 road trip. King has garnered Big Ten Athlete of the Week on nine occasions during his Wolverine career.
The University of Michigan men's tennis team finished the team season with a 16-10 record, falling to Virginia Tech, 4-2, in the first round of the NCAA Championships on May 10 in Lexington, Kentucky.

Money Managers As Marketing Managers
February 1, 2013
Seventeen years ago, the fellow running the $44 billion Fidelity Magellan fund, Jeffrey Vinik, found himself touting his favorite technology investments in what most pickers of stocks would consider an outlet they would never set foot in.
A shoe store. In Vinik's case, a Salvatore Ferragamo boutique at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
The point, says Dan Sondhelm, a partner and senior vice president of marketing communications firm SunStar Strategic in Alexandria, Va.: Portfolio managers have to play a role in marketing the funds they run. They can't just leave it to an in-house sales team or a wholesaler.
Now, they are "speaking to all different types of clients, all different kinds of prospects,'' he said, whether it's advisors, consultants, institutions, high net-worth individuals or wholesalers. They're even becoming fixtures, at conferences where mutual funds hawk their wares. "There are so many more portfolio managers working the booths than there used to be,'' Sondhelm said.
In some cases, there will be life-size cutouts of the portfolio manager, promoting times that he or she will appear at a booth. In any case, they're treated almost as the star of the show. The money manager, in effect, becomes a marketing tool. The objective: To gain more assets for the manager to run.
"Clients want to talk to the person pulling the trigger,'' said Sondhelm.
Yes, this takes time away from managing portfolios. But a portfolio manager "has to wear a lot of hats these days,'' he contends. And with competition for the investable dollar increasing, there's no escaping making practiced pitches to consultants or pension funds or other audiences.
To make the money manager an effective marketing manager, a fund company has to get serious about the practice. Here's what it requires, in Sondhelm's view:
Commitment from the top. The chief executive of the firm or similar senior executive with institutional heft has to spearhead the program. Make it clear that communicating with customers and prospects is part of a portfolio manager's responsibilities. And make it stick.
Connecting the effort to results. The link between marketing efforts and increases in assets under management can and should be tracked. The whole process is about results. Making it clear that the portfolio manager performs. If you have performance, but no one knows about it, you won't get more assets to manage.
Work with what you've got. Every portfolio manager can do this. Some are better than others. But as long as they're natural and honest, none will embarrass a fund or a firm. The trick is to work first with the willing participants and then closely with those who need coaching.
Make it competitive. You can do this with data, showing who's doing the best at attracting interest and money. You can also do this by stroking egos, putting out more messages about managers who are willing to be high-profile, attend conferences and do digital marketing. You can do it with bonuses, contests or incentives. "You can't force anyone to do these things,'' Sondhelm says. But you can encourage it.
Train them. If you're going to have them talk to a roomfull of people, then train them in talking to a room full of people. Bring in wholesalers and sales teams. Make them the audience for dry runs of the pitch. When you do it, get and keep the video camera running "With a camera, you see everything," he says. The manager can see how he or she looks, how he or she responds, whether wording works, whether questions are answered well. Body language also shows up.
Make it simple. Every message should be clear, not complicated. Think in terms of five bullet points to get every message across. Create five-bullet-point summaries for what the company is about, what the fund's methodology and objectives are, why it focuses on the assets it does, what the strategy is, and what the positioning is, in a universe full of funds of all stripes. When done, make sure all these sets of bullets fit on one sheet of paper.
Know your message. If you're moving from small cap stocks to large caps, know the reasons cold. If you believe financials are going to become darlings again, explain it clearly. Get this down ahead of time, so it's second nature. And everyone on the team knows it, not just the portfolio manager.
Control the delivery. You can't control the questions that will be asked, so don't try. But when you answer the question, keep talking. Take it where you want to go. Make sure one or more of your bullet points are weaved into the answer. As each question comes, focus the conversation on what is important to you.

I totally agree with Richard. Significant is not the same as relevant.
If I am in a bad mood I tell whomever comes in my office for help that
if they get a non-significant result that only means that they haven't
collected enough data, and if they get a significant result that they
collected too much data. Don't get me wrong, significance testing is a
very elegant and smart solution to an impossible problem, but too often
people attach magical properties to p-values. Just looking at some
predicted probabilities, marginal effects, or odds ratios (I am
actually starting to appreciate those, though I admit they are an
acquired taste) can tell you so much more. And don't forget graphs!!

Byron, Illinois
Get Lawn Care for Your Byron Home
Having a healthy lawn is one of the most vital aspects of preserving your home. In addition to increasing curb appeal, regular maintenance can also prevent structural damages from water and pests. With good lawn care, you can add a lasting value to your property and the neighborhood by keeping the grass trim, soil healthy, and edges neat.
With every new season, different problems can arise, which is why it's important to maintain consistent lawn care. It may be worthwhile to use professional lawn care services in Byron that can provide the tools and equipment needed to get lawns into good condition. You now have a refreshed look for your lawn in addition to more time to enjoy it all year long. Here are other facts about some of the most common lawn care methods used by homeowners and professionals alike:
Mowing— One of the most common mistakes made in lawn care is mowing at the incorrect height. Depending on the season and current climate, some grass types may need a different mowing schedule. By cutting your grass too short, it could end up scalping it and destroying the roots and stems. To prevent damaging the lawn, it's crucial to cut grass according to its recommended height for the season.
Watering— Plants need water to thrive, but overwatering could lead to shallower roots and stunted growth. This can cause lawns to become more vulnerable to a host of lawn problems, such as weeds and diseases. Even so, watering is still necessary, especially when droughts occur. For the majority of lawns, it helps to water deeply and infrequently rather than inundating the soil at once.
Fertilizing— One key practice in lawn care is fertilization, which helps grass grow strong and healthy. When fertilizing, there are a few things to consider, namely climate, grass type, and type of fertilizer you are using. Fertilizers can be made of food, compost, and grass clippings, or from synthetic components such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. It should be noted that adding more fertilizer does not necessarily entail faster growth.
Aerating— Despite being widely used on lawns with compacted soil, healthy lawns can still receive many benefits from aeration. In breaking and loosening the soil, aeration allows for more oxygen, nutrients, and water to be distributed to the roots. Areas that receive consistent rain or lawns with foot traffic may see a greater need for aeration.
More about Lawn Care in Midwestern Cities
Being aware of the season and the type of grass on your lawn is important when doing lawn care. For residents of Byron, lawn care is mostly focused on maintaining cool-season grasses. As the Midwest generally experiences extreme version of each season, year-round lawn care becomes crucial. Among the most common grass types in the Midwest are:
For a healthy lawn, watering, fertilizing, weed control, and general maintenance are required throughout the year.
- Kentucky bluegrass
- Fescue
For many areas of the Midwest, flooding is a severe issue in spring lawn care. Because of this, watering should be monitored to avoid oversaturating the soil.
Make sure your lawn mower is properly functioning, as Midwestern lawns will need heavy mowing through the summer. Some of the things you'll need to check for are the spark plugs, oil tank, engine stabilizer, and fresh tank of gas.
Spring is also the time to dethatch hardened spots around your lawn. Purchase a dethatching rake and do it yourself or hire help to use a power dethatcher.
Summer can bring swelteringly high temperatures to the Midwest, causing problems in maintaining lawn hydration. Lawns that lack moisture also become more susceptible to crabgrass, a summertime weed. To keep weeds from sprouting, water frequently and deeply, especially during droughts. Apply post-emergent herbicide on any weeds that have already sprouted.
Apply a slow-release fertilizer during the summers. This allows nutrients to be released over time, rather than at once.
Overseed any bare or damaged areas to fill in the lawn.
Allow your lawn to go dormant during periods of drought. Even though dormant lawns don't need as much attention as active ones, watering should done once a week.
During dry periods, lawn mower blades should be set higher to avoid cutting off too much grass at once. Longer grass is better able to handle droughts.
To prepare for the winter, cut the grass to a medium height so that it doesn't mat or weight down from the snow. Snow mold can build on the lawn if the grass becomes matted down.
Apply pre-emergent herbicides to prevent new weeds from rooting and sprouting.
Take this time to organize the chemical cabinet containing lawn products. Read the packaging instructions and discard any products you may have that are set to expire in the winter.
Although grass may not grow as fast in the fall, mowing should still happen from time to time to prepare for winter snows.
Try to stay off the lawn as much as possible during the winter. Walking on frozen grass can cause severe damages.
Shovel the sidewalks and driveway carefully before applying snow melting chemicals. This prevents the chemicals from running off onto your lawn.
Drain the irrigation and sprinkler systems as temperatures drop.
Do maintenance on your lawn mower by replacing the blades, installing a new air filter, and purchasing new spark plugs. This helps you save time and money while lawn care is at its most inactive during the year.
Winter provides an opportunity to take a break from lawn care when snow is heavy and not much lawn care can be done.
Seek Professional Help Now!
Planting your own lawn and maintaining it can be rewarding, but it's important to consistently curate your lawn. Lawn care can easily pile on top of household priorities, making it difficult to accomplish on your own. When this happens, your lawn could become neglected, causing it to drop in value and functionality.
To avoid this, seek help from a Byron lawn care specialist who can help you find out what your lawn needs. Hiring a lawn care service can help you save time as well as money in building and maintaining your lawn more economically. It also helps prevent costly damages early on. Get in touch with a lawn care company in Byron today to get started on growing a green and healthy lawn now!

Erdei enjoys Philly Gym scene
Photos: Team Erdei
During his preparations for Saturday's clash against former world champion Byron Mitchell, unbeaten former light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion Zsolt Erdei (32-0, 17 KOs) has trained at two famous Philadelphia boxing gyms, the Joe Hand Boxing Gym and the James Shuler Memorial Gym.
Erdei usually used the Joe Hand Gym for his morning exercises focusing on his fitness and coordination workouts. The gym is managed and supervised by Danny Davis, who also helps with the preparation of Bernard Hopkins. "I have heard that Bernard Hopkins visits this gym regularly, the last time was yesterday." said Erdei. "I have seen the fight and the deserved win for Hopkins in a sports bar here in Philadelphia. Unfortunately we have missed each other last week here in the gym. The two gyms that I'm using for my preparation are the best ones that you can find. There is a great boxing atmosphere and you can feel the traditional American boxing scene."
He continued, "It has been the ideal place for me to acclimate to be in the US. It is impressive how they made me feel welcome and looked at my work appreciatively. Not only in the gym during training but also on the street and in restaurants. That's different to some places in Europe. I'm feeling very very good when I'm here. The training was fine, everything goes on schedule. Physically I am feeling fine and I am in great shape. On the other side I am in the 19th week of the preparation and it's a little bit exhausting but my aim is to be in the best shape in Atlantic City next week. I'm very excited and ready to step into the ring and face Byron Mitchell on Saturday."
* * *
Erdei finished his final sparring session this past weekend. In the gym of Percy Custus, also known as the James Shuler Memorial Gym. The Hungarian champion found excellent training conditions and great training partners. IBF cruiserweight world champion Steve Cunningham, who is also in training for his next fight, came by and took a look at Erdei's sparring session. Afterwards both fighters had a longer talk and Cunningham holds a high regard and respect on the boxing skills of Erdei.
"It is a very interesting situation as I now fight in Europe and Zsolt has the courage to take the step to fight in America, It's a great feeling and it honors me that he is training in my home gym, which is one of the best ones in Philly," said "USS" Steve Cunningham.
Alongside Cunningham there are also the heavyweight Eddie Chambers and light heavyweight Yusaf Mack (who is going to fight against Tavoris Cloud on Juni 25) currently in training and preparing for their upcoming fights. The gym has great atmosphere and it's an excellent place for Zsolt to assimilate with the circulation of the American boxing. Erdei's sparring partners were Dhafir Smith and the Julien Williams and despite the high temperatures Erdei showed a his dominance in boxing skills and excellent physical shape.
"The temperature and humidity inside the gym was very high so I didn't need too much warm-up. But the atmosphere and the many people watching was amazing! Small children, former boxers and world champions were all present and train in the gym. The gym is full of boxers and everybody do their exercises: warm-up, sandbad training or sparring. They were friendly, made me feel welcome and I felt after the second sparring they looked at me with respect. They watched our workouts and acknowledged them. In this place you feel the respect, everybody is equal. I am very satisfied and happy with my preparation and ready to take on Byron Mitchell. I spoke with Cunningham and Mack a few time because we exercised together and we talked about the current situation in our weight divisions. Maybe we will meet again one day," Erdei said smiling.

The Navy said it believed all others were accounted for. The survivors were scattered through various hospitals in the San Francisco bay area, or had gone to their homes in nearby ci- ties. The crash occurred south of the main ship channel entering San Francisco bay, about four miles out from lie Golden Gate bridge. Visibility w-as zero as blind- ing white fog drifted in from sea. The outbound freighter, Mary Luckenbach, ripped into the flank; of the hospital ship which was en- tering the harbor after ft trial run. The freighter appeared little dam- aged. It crept into port during tha night. The Navy said it expected to have a casualty list available about 10 a.m. Pacific daylight time. Captain T. K. Wirth, chief of staff of the 12th naval district, said i the Benevolence keeled over with- in 15 minutes after the collision. Admiral George D.

Eni Rises to Highest in Four Years After CDP Sale: Milan Mover
Eni SpA (ENI) rose to the highest in almost four years in Milan trading after state lender Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA sold a stake in Italy's biggest energy company.
Eni gained 4.2 percent to 18.70 euros, the highest price since November 2008, giving the Rome-based company a market value of 68 billion euros ($89.4 billion).
Cassa Depositi yesterday said it sold 61.7 million Eni shares between Aug. 7 and Sept. 13 at an average price of 17.76 euros a share. The Rome-based bank now holds 27.4 percent of Eni.
Eni said it expects to complete the sale of a 30 percent stake of Snam SpA (SRG), Italy's gas-network operator, to CDP for 3.5 billion euros by October. Yesterday's announcement makes it probable that transaction will be concluded on schedule, said Theepan Jothilingam, an oil analyst at Nomura Holdings Inc. in London.

Let me start out first by saying that we have had some hard times and subequently have had difficulty in paying our CareCredit bill consistently and on time - but it eventually gets paid. It might be late, but it gets paid. At any rate, tonight I was making a payment on the site for GEMoney.com, which facilitates CareCredit, and looked at some past statements. I noticed a charge called "Account Security 1-866-846-6991" in the amount of $40, give or take some change (it appears to be a percentage). I wasn't sure what this was, so after some time Googling, I finally found someone else's RipOff Report listed in the search results on Google when I Googled the phone number. That's when I realized that this is a charge for something particular - i.e., account protection in the event of a layoff, or becoming disabled, etc. The problem is, I never signed up or agreed to this program, and apparently a few months ago it started showing up on the statement. Needless to say, with the corn-holing I'm getting on interest charges, and then late fees, and THEN this stupid a*s thing I didn't even ask or agree to participate in, I am now over my credit limit and never making a dent in the principal.
My next step is to find out what I can do about this. This is as bad as if someone else took your account number and bought something without your authorizing it. It is theft, and it is fraud. I fully intend to file as many complaints as possible with as many watchdogs and bureaus I can find. This is fraud, I don't care how you slice it.

Wireless internet booster?
So I have a wireless Internet USB adapter to my PC but the problem is that my signal is very weak because of the distance it is from our router. Is there a way to make the signal stronger without moving the router closer? Some type of booster or anything?
Short of moving the router or getting a different one with more range, you can get a wireless repeater.
I installed one at my in-laws house. It works well.....you just have to understand how it works....it will actually show up as a different wireless access point....so instead of connection to 'my home', you would connect to 'my repeater'.....
BTW....how far are we talking?
If you have an old router...instead of buying a repeater...get a new one with more range....and while your at it...get one with NAS. Basically, NAS capability lets you plug a USB HD into the router and it is now accessable by any computer on your network. Sort of a cheap and easy way to have a network drive.
If the antennas are removable from the router, buy new higher dbi antennas. They are cheap, no complicated setup, and work great.
Well I am using a D-Link Xtreme N Dual Band N+300 USB Adapter. It's the first one I found that would actually even find a signal. My signal strength jumps up and down from 10% - 25%. The router and my computer are on opposite corners of about a 2500 sq. ft. house.
I did check the antennas and they are removable, so getting new antennas might help.
It's worth trying the antenna's...but I think you are only going to get marginal improvement. The freq is pretty high and chances are the installed antenna is already a full wavelength antenna....about the only improvement would be a remote antenna....and you can get the same result by just moving the router.
On your USB...is it the fixed type? Looks like a USB memory stick? If so....have you tried pluging it into a USB port on the other side of the computer?
I use a USB on one of my computers...but this one has a cord and the actual reciever can be mounted up high...
I still think your going to need a repeater....
I use higher gain antennas at work for our office building which has concrete walls throughout. They work, they really do extend the range. 3 access points cover the entire building now where I used to have 5.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but is this your house? Is running cat5 or moving the router THAT out of the question? Or are you just renting a room and stuck with what you have?
Adding a repeater is certainly your best bet given your restraints. It's going to add a bit of latency, so if you're a gamer, keep that in mind.
Yeah you could say I'm renting a room and stuck with what I got. I'm not a gamer on the PC. I just use it mostly for surfing the web but would like it to be faster. We are in the 21st century and I need better than dial-up speed Internet, lol.
Haha no. I rent a house with 4 others. I just can't relocate the router. I'm just looking for an affordable way to make it better because I may only be here for a few more months
You might search Lifehacker. They often run feature articles on DIY built signal boosters. www.lifehacker.com
Not sure where you are but is your own wireless connection in the budget? I have been delighted with CLEAR and get unlimited super fast service with no ceilings or throttle downs for $45/month. I had to buy my own modem thingie but it was cheap. Obviously I can take the connection with me.
CLEAR also sells a hotspot for $45 that you can tap with 6-8 devices.
I think Virgin has a plan for like $35 but it does threaten to slow you down after a certain data amount.

Not sure if OP has solved their issue or not but.... Dump the D-Link and throw in something better and grab some high gain antennas Throw them on there, Grab something like a ZyXEL http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833181136 such as this or there are others but this gives you the added security of a hardware firewall. or this ZyXEL http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9SIA1EA0UT8905 It has the newest bandwidth capabilities of AC1200 not the fastest but it's high end and would give you amazing range, shove a couple high gainers on there and you would likely reap the bennefits. I will also be posting some of these into another thread with a user with a somewhat similar issue. There are TONS of options, NETGEAR just came out with a new AC series router called the Nighthawk, it looks freaking awesome and I would buy it if I could afford it. Get everybody to pitch in 40 each and you can afford a really nice setup, it would benefit all of you, seeing as there are 4 people in the home, an AC series router would be better than an older B/G/N 300 Router. If you look at it from a standpoint of a technician and networking specialist such as I am you'll find that you can't beat just upgrading, testing and then going out and buying the high gain boosters, then placing a booster out there in the house as a second option. You've got a few things to work with. I'll leave you with a link to the XyXEL store on Newegg and Let you browse. Please feel free to skype me with any questions you may have. http://www.newegg.com/ZyXEL/BrandSto...7208?Tpk=XyXEL

1955 step side
Im building my old 1955 step side Big window with my son, I have just purchased a 327 from a friend who claimed it was out of a early Vett. when I get back from Iraq i plan on getting heavily started in the complete resoration and build of nthis fine american hot rod.
i like to think i can repair anything and have worked on cars my entire life but this will be the first engine i have actulay rebuilt form the bottom up. Of course any guidance would be appreciated.
As far as the truck we plan on a hot rod orange sngle stage acrylic enamel, the interior a leather tan or buckskin with some classic rolls. The frame will be origional except for the Fat man IFS and updated braking system.
I have owned this truck since the early 80s when i was early hotroder, and with all the new technoligy and parts availabe i can visualize this project becoming a drivable show quality hot rod.. thanks.. Archi
Sounds like a cool project, any specific questions so far?

I was having lunch with my family at a small town restaurant when I saw several street cats begging for food. One of them was successful in procuring a half-eaten piece of fried fish. I had my D60 on hand so I thought, I took some pics of stray dogs... how about street cats going about their daily life? It's basically the same as taking pics of people in the street - minus having to ask for permission (or model release). This street cat-beggar was more than cooperative, it basically gave me some brilliant facial expressions for me to capture in photos.
And so, friends, here are two of the photos of the street cat-beggar.

Bob McComas and the Trade Practices Commission : doing it his way
Corones, Stephen G., Merrett, David, & Round, David K. (2005) Bob McComas and the Trade Practices Commission : doing it his way. Australian Business Law Review, 33(6), pp. 475-485.
Submitted Version
(PDF 230kB)
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
As part of a wider research project on the history of competition law and its enforcement in Australia from 1973 to 2003, the authors interviewed the four Chairmen who guided the Trade Practices Commission and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission over this period, in order to get their views of their role in its history. Given the untimely death on July 27 2005 of Bob McComas, the second Chairman who held office for three years from February 1985 to February 1988, it was thought fitting to publish a brief record of parts of the interview with him (which took place on 24 January 2005), in which Bob discussed the background, agenda, legacies and disappointments of his term in office. He was contemplating writing his memoirs, and so he had thought in detail about many of the issues raised during the interview. He regarded himself as significantly different from the other three Chairmen, and made no apologies for his relatively non-litigious approach to preserving the competitive process in Australian markets.

Love it. I'm just waiting for some black mirrors for mine and plan on doing the wheels as soon as the money is available. Keep the photos coming!
cheezy88 (14-07-2010)
Just out of curiosity, how much would it cost someone to get their roof done the same as yours?
is any1 on here still doin photoshop and could do some of the bits id like done??
You need to be asking Bigbenstrikes, he did an amazing job on an alloy of mine to see what it would look like black and when I sprayed the spare it was almost identical to Bigbens photoshopping. He's brilliant at it.
cheers matey bigbenstrikes back is gonna do a photoshop for me!!
maybe buying a set of black m3 mirrors for 20quid from a friend so fingers crossed!!!
the more i look the better it looks done black and from above it looks like its glass roof!!
You won't be disappointed, he's very good. I'm just waiting for delivery of some black standard mirrors myself and I bought a black bootlid and spoiler including the brake light for £40. I can't decide whether or not to keep the spoiler black when I spray the rest of the bootlid though. I might call on Bigbens skills myself! So far the black bits I've done I quite like as I wasn't sure what black bits on a Calypso red car would look like. It's a shame you're so far away otherwise I would've called on your services for the roof seeing as you've done such a good job on yours.
Just give me 10 minutes and I'll try and find them.

In our previous post, it sounded as though Mr. Tony Posawatz responded that the Volt will use a DC motor, which seemed surprising.
Readers caught that and I questioned Mr. Posawatz again..he indicated that the Volt has an A/C motor.
Sorry for any confusion.

Maranda Pleasant: Hey Peaches, how are you?
Peaches: Good, how you doing, Maranda?
MP: What is it at the heart that inspires you so much, with your work and your life?
P: Just to get to my own truth. To always be able to speak my mind and do it creatively.
MP: You're so full of life and color and passion. Where does that all comes from? What place do you pull from in your work?
P: I question everything. I question authorities. I question norms, I question the mainstream. And I wonder how that relates to me, because that should be my world. I shouldn't have to fit into the world that is presented to me. The world—and all of us should do this—should reflect not what we should be but who we need to be.
MP: One thing I love about you: there's not a lot of masks and bullshit. What is it that makes you the most vulnerable?
P: I put myself out there in a very vulnerable way, actually. I [pray] to people's good wills, that people have the sense that they use [it] the right way and not destroy themselves or me in the process.
MP: I'm working on that one! [laughing]
P: It's hard, it's hard.
MP: How do you process pain? I know a lot of artists channel it, use it. When pain comes in, how do you work with it?
P: The first part is, you try to process it. That's actually the most difficult part of all. Because to really deal with it, you really have to understand that it is a process, that you're not going to understand right away. It's going to be different. You can have different feelings around it, and it's going to change, and you're going to have to go through a lot. It's really about the process, and letting yourself process it.
MP: Do you ever use it in your work?
P: I definitely do. Part of pain or feeling, not feeling whole—whatever it is, you have to process that. You have to find a way to deal and question why that is, if you can find a way to overcome that pain.
MP: When I watch your work, it's like you invite people in and then we come on this journey with you, and you take us to this world that is possible. Where does that come from—this beautiful, surreal, edge-pushing passion? The costumes, the fire behind it?
P: I'm in a really good position. I never signed on to be any sort of mainstream star. I never had the goal of winning a Grammy or being the number one person at Glastonbury or being on the cover of Vogue. That set me free from adhering to any sort of beauty standards or anything like that. My goals are more to express myself and say, Look at the possibilities. Don't be like me, but I want to show you, by modeling—not modeling like fashion model—modeling my behavior. To say be yourself. Do your thing.
MP: Have you always been so colorful? Have you always pushed ideas and limits?
P: I think we're all born that way. That's how you learn, right? You push. That's what you're like when you're a kid. That's why they call it the Terrible Twos—because you can finally push buttons. And we have to continue learning and growing. I'm not interested in really being an agitator as much as inclusive. I'm always surprised how shocked people are by that, and how close-minded people can be, and how they find what I do maybe angry or exclusive.
MP: What is it that drives some of your work?
P: It's definitely a feminist perspective, and not in an old-school way, where it's like, Don't do that, don't do that. It's more like, Oh, you're doing this? So I'm going to do it, too, and I'm going to do it harder, and I'm going to do it stronger. That's my post-feminist direction: questioning the mainstream, questioning authorities, questioning religion, questioning people's relationship with their own body, and [questioning] people's relationship with their age. You know?
MP: WOW. I'm inspired. Are there any particular issues or causes that you're passionate right now?
P: I put a lot of work in for this Pussy Riot debacle. I made a song and a video because there were big celebrities writing letters. And then there were a lot of artists and underground people who were doing incredible actions and weren't getting any attention, which is what it was for—to get attention, to show. People need to be creative. I felt like I was the middle ground and the missing link.
I am appalled with American politics, Republicans, and how nations are run. Organized religion—I believe people should believe what they want and religion is fine, but organized and extremist is really an incredibly hurtful thing, and takes away from the meaning of what religion should be, which is just loving your fellow person, neighbor, people.
MP: You live in Berlin?
P: Yeah, but I'm on an American tour right now.
MP: Let's talk about that. What projects are you working on right now?
P: I just finished a movie called Peaches Does Herself, which is a fantastical rock electro-opera based on my music. A fake biography that deals with all the myths and misconceptions that people have thought I should be or who I am throughout the years. That's my biggest project right now. It was a stage production that I did two runs of. We filmed every night, and then I would bring people in in the afternoon for filming close-ups. It's basically a film of the stage production. I wrote, directed, starred in it, produced it.
I have a single that just came out a few days ago and the video will come out next week, which is super dark and awesome. I'm really excited. The song is called "Burst."
MP: Love it: Super dark and awesome.
P: We have a lot of pictures from the film. The video single has fantastic images, too. Now I'm on a DJ Extravaganza tour, which means I can't keep from behind the decks. I definitely mix but I'm jumping around and singing and spraying people. It's exciting. It's also commenting on DJing and the boys' club of DJing. And how my show is really way more fun—it's not just a video of fun, it's just really interactive.

The main reason I no longer sell on eBay - I don't want to be held hostage by a bidder.Originally Posted by MTS
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The main reason I no longer sell on eBay - I don't want to be held hostage by a bidder.Originally Posted by MTS
I suppose the hostage thing can be a huge problem, but I hate feeling afraid to leave honest to goodness negative feedback, because of fear of retaliation.Originally Posted by bodie358
Case in point-- I ordered an item from a seller. The seller's description says
"Will ship within three days." The seller shipped a week later.
The seller actually emailed me and asked me to leave feedback for her, When I explained that I wasn't planning to leave ANY feedback, because I was unhappy with her shipping timeframe, The seller told me that I those things happen on ebay, and for me to expect shipping in three days was unreasonable. SO I left NEUTRAL feedback, that just says seller shipped a week later.
Seller left me "neutral feedback" saying that I was impatient and not to do business with.
I am sure the seller has plenty of recourse with ebay if the buyer is trying to extort, but aside from that very small exception, what else could possibly go wrong for a seller that they would need to leave negative feedback? If the seller gets paid within three days then the buyer has completed their end of the deal. If the buyer does not complete, then they get a strike. Easy as that.
Ah, you'd be surprised how little recourse sellers have with eBay these days. Most of the changes in the last few years have been to "protect" the buyers. Well,sometimes the sellers need to be protected from them.Originally Posted by alimaui
However, in your situation if the buyer thought it was unreasonable for you to expect shipping within 3 days, then he shouldn't have put that he would ship within 3 days in his damn listing. And that was a stupid explanation on his part too. Better to tell you the dog died and he couldn't get to the post office. Sheesh. I hope you dinged his stars, too. He's an idiot.
These days, eBay puts a lot of pressure on sellers to maintain a good star rating - you know, those annoying stars you have to click on when you leave feedback.
Based on those ratings, eBay will allow sellers to get better placement in the "best match" listing display, reduced fees for insertion and final value(?), get that snazzy "top seller' Logo on all the listings, and other goodies. And there are corresponding penalties for not performing well, as well.
Personally, I think most of the problems arise because there are sellers and buyers (new and not-new) who NEVER read the instructions or any how-to tutorials provided. They think - heck, I know whoe to order from Amazon, I'll just sign up on eBay and start bidding.
And then they make a best offer, but don't actually execute the BIN, and are pissed off at the seller because he didn't send an I'm sorry note. Well, if they would have read how the best offer feature works, they wouldn't have had that problem.
(And I'm not trying to beat up on the OP about this, just using it as an example.)
What about the newbie buyer who hits the BIN, and then decides he doesn't want the item? eBay is not Nordstroms, with a 3 year return policy. So the seller is out the time the item was already listed because he has to list it again. And now he has to get the buyer to agree - by going to a certain screen - to get the sale canceled so he can recoup his fees that he'll be billed for as eBay recognizes it as a valid sale, if he wants to be nice and let the buyer out of a binding contract. It's a time consuming PITA.
Or the buyer who didn't read the "fine print" in the listing and now wants to contest some of the terms AFTER they've already won the auction. Or asks, after they've won, is the blue more of a teal blue than purple blue because they really want a teal blue.
And I'm not letting all the sellers off the hook. They throw up listings (sometimes without ever having even BOUGHT an item). Let's say it's listed as an auction with a starting price of $.99 (because the insertion rate is cheaper). And people bid it up to a $30 final price at the end of the auction. But the widget is actually worth $300, and that's around what the seller thought he'd get. So he goes into the eBay forums crying because he doesn't want to sell it at that price. And gets eviscerated (it ain't pretty).
Well, idiot (the seller), if you had read the seller's tutorial, or asked BEFORE you listed the item, this would have been clear to you. :wink: You might have gotten some insight into certain strategies to use to make sure you don't end up giving your precious items away for bupkus.
And not to mention all the scam artists and trouble makers out there, although there does seem to be a lot less these days.
When you have a knowledgeable buyer AND seller, the transaction is a beautiful thing.
And my experience has been that fabric buyers are among the best because they generally know what they're getting - in terms of value, size and condition. In over 11 years, I really haven't had any problems (as a buyer or seller) in the fabric market.
Sorry about my incoherent rant. I'm cranky. :lol:
I guess what I'm trying to say (nicely) is that if you're going to play in that sandbox, it pays to learn the rules.
Ditto. There are just as many bad bidders as sellers. If anyone wants examples, I have lots. (not personally but people I know).Originally Posted by bodie358
I wouldn't give neg feedback but I'd be narked. Good luck with the new iron. You did a good vent!
Do not buy on e-bay, of course know of others who just love it for the convenience.
This has been an eye-opener, was not aware that there are so many ins & outs of buying. Miss not having a Nordstroms, etc. nearby. Browsing & shopping was some sort of physical exercise.

Omega 3 Oils Help Correct Leptin Gene Problems
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
A detailed gene study involving 1,754 adults, some with metabolic syndrome1 and some without, showed that those who were low in omega 3 oils like DHA were more likely to manifest gene problems with leptin.
The researchers were studying polymorphisms in the leptin receptor. The hormone leptin is seeking to communicate around your body so as to regulate your metabolism. In order for the instructions to have meaning they must bind to a leptin receptor, setting into motion various metabolic instructions. Some individuals have alterations in their leptin receptors, which is more common in individuals who are overweight. When these leptin receptor problems kick in, it is one factor that fuels insulin resistance and eventually metabolic syndrome.
The researchers showed that too many omega 6 oils (common in today's junk food diets) magnifies the malfunction of the leptin receptor gene polymorphisms. On the other hand, high omega 3 with lower omega 6 enabled the handicapped leptin receptors to function normally.
This is one reason why DHA oil is so important to human health, especially in individuals who are overweight or have moved to the more advanced metabolic syndrome (insulin resistance, high blood pressure, high cholesterol).

It was established, before we married, that The Professor and I would (upon winning the lottery) take the most amazing vacation to Southern Spain and Morocco. If we liked it (and we shall), we would buy an adorable vacation home near Marrakesh with a courtyard big enough to eat in and grow at least two citrus trees. I'd make Moroccan preserved lemons from our courtyard tree. At night, we'd sit outside surrounded by a few candles in rich colored glass lanterns and sip tea. I'd own exactly seven tagine pots (heavy bottom Moroccan cooking pot with a cone shaped lid - genius idea to cook a most perfect stew with the steam rising and then falling back down to keep the stew moist and the spices deeply involved) - not from Le Crueset (ok, maybe one!), but from the local market. Surrounded by beautiful things and flavorful foods: that's what I am convinced Morocco would be like.
I'm still waiting for my Powerball habitude to payoff, so I didn't have any homemade preserved lemons to add to this dish. Nor have I found a reliable recipe for homemade harissa (and it's impossible to buy the stuff locally) or I would have used that instead of cayenne pepper. Worst of all, I've yet to visit the market in Marrakesh to buy that handmade tagine I most certainly deserve, but my French oven (cast iron pot) worked well. With any luck, I maybe blogging to you from exotic and *warm* Morocco... someday! Until then, here is the recipe...
1 butternut (although probably most any squash would do) squash, peeled and cut into 2-3" cubes
1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes
2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander/cilantro, plus a few sprigs for garnish
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
4 cloves of garlic crushed
1 yellow onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (or - better yet - harissa!)
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp agave nectar or apricot preserves or a sweet lemon preserve
2 tsp tomato paste
2 cups of water
salt to taste
In a tagine - or heavy bottom pot (cast iron or dutch/french oven) soften the onion and garlic in the olive oil for just a couple of minutes. Then add the cumin and turmeric and cook for about 1 minute. Add the cayenne, paprika, agave, and tomato paste. Add the coriander and parsley.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Reduce heat to low (simmer) and cover. Let cook until the squash is soft, about 25 minutes.
After about 15 minutes into the fully assembled stew cooking, make the couscous. It's best to make it towards the end because couscous cooks very fast and is best (fluffy and light) right after it is made. For this you need:
3 cups of vegetable broth or water
1 1/2 cups of Moroccan style couscous (tiny grain)
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup of golden raisins
1/4 cup pine nuts
handful of chopped fresh mint
Bring the water and olive oil to a boil. Add the couscous and return to a boil. Promptly remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and fold in the raisins and pine nuts and mint. The raisins add a really nice sweet chew to this dish.
Top the couscous with a generous portion of the tagine and garnish with coriander/cilantro.
