I can't believe that my mom hasn't updated my diary in how long?! YIKES! What is wrong with her?! I know we're busy going places. I know she takes me for lots of walks (& LOTS of swims)! I know she takes really good care of me by keeping me healthy and as slim a figure as a young woman should have. But come on....keep my friends updated as to what's going on in my life! Swimming is still number one for me. If there's any water, any amount, watch out...I'm in it! A big change in my life is the lost of my sister, Purrdy. She was about to turn 17 years old when she disappeared on us all. Purrdy let me know right away who was boss when I joined our household. She was about the same size as me but I could tell she had the upperhand on things. She let me know with a simple hiss and a swat the very first time I thought of her as an equal and as a new playmate for me. NO WAY JOSE! She did not play with me! She let me know where she was to sleep, where she was to walk and when she had to drink out of the water bowl I was to get out of her way! As I grew in size, she stayed the same but size did not matter....she was definitely the boss! Oh, have I mentioned Purrdy was a cat?! Anyway, we settled into our respective routines with the best one being that after she got fed every morning her can of cat food, I got to lick the can that it came in! HEAVEN! About two weeks ago my parents went on vacation and when they returned, Purrdy greeted them and disappeared. She had been particularly friendly to me while the adults were gone which I found really strange. She would rub up against my legs (while I stood perfectly still). She would come near me at all sorts of different times which she never use to do. I think she was trying to make amends for all the grief she caused me during my youth. Purrdy has not been seen in over two weeks. I miss her tremendously (& the can of cat food that I use to get)! Sweet dreams Purrdy! and mom, don't wait so long to keep my diary up from now on!
I got to go to Fort Funston today in San Francisco. If you're ever in SF, you HAVE to go there! It's the supreme place for dogs. There's sand dunes to run in, open space, the beach goes for miles (as long as the tide isn't high) and there are dogs everywhere. The air smells so wonderful, full of salt and the scent of ocean just makes you feel like a young pup again. My owner lets me off leash from the minute we get there until the minute we leave but I don't leave her, except to chase the sticks (& rocks) that she throws for me. There must have been almost a hundred dogs there today, some came with their doggie day care groups. Boy, were they having fun! You should have seen how cute they were getting in their cars and trucks to go back home. If they were like me, they slept most of the way home! They don't call it Fort Fun for nothing!
and the living is easy! Birds are flying and I'm chasing them like crazy! Water is spraying and flowing all around, just waiting for me to run through and play in. Longer days are just around the corner meaning more time to stay up and play with humans and dogs. Treats are getting better and more delicious every day (especially those frosty paws). Picnics, play days, trips and adventures are just waiting for me and I can't stand it. I want to do them all........NOW!! Thank goodness for summertime!

On Monday, the world celebrated the tenth anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the pride and joy of supernatural enthusiasts (myself included). While I haven't watched Buffy since they stopped showing re-runs of the series every day before school, I can't seem to go a week without remembering one of the show's unusual storylines. Everything I see brings back memories of this series somehow, like I'm caught in some sort of bad break-up, except Buffy can't point out my commitment issues or storm out of the house when I play Taylor Swift too loudly. Some of the episodes I recall, not because they were particularly heart-warming, but because they were so incredibly odd, it would be hard to forget them.
1) Restless (4×22) – I'm not usually a fan of dream sequences because I think it's a cheesy way to express a character's true emotions but the dream episode of Buffy was more transfixing than a basket of hairless kittens (which just confuses my emotions beyond comprehension). When the group of friends falls asleep during a movie, the camera plunges into the characters' heads and brings us all into a very weird dimension. From Buffy talking to her dead mom through a hole in the wall of her high school to Willow scrawling Greek symbols on her girlfriend's back for no apparent reason, "Restless" transports the viewing audience into a glass case of emotion that makes me mentally claustrophobic.
2) Once More, with Feeling (6×07) – What's more unsettling than flicking on the TV to watch the regularly scheduled Buffy episode is finding a musical with all of the same characters in its place, only to realize that you are watching exactly what you wanted to see. In "Once More, with Feeling," a demon places a curse on the residents of Sunnydale that forces them to spontaneously break out into song. (I don't know about you but that sounds like the best demon curse I've ever heard.)
3) Who Are You (4×16) – No matter how much I try to like Eliza Dushku (she's from MA so I feel like we have some sort of unspoken bond that we need to tap into), there's something about her that makes me want to silence her vocal chords and there's a good chance that feeling stemmed from her character, Faith, on Buffy. Faith, a slayer-turned-villain-turned-slayer, was an interesting character, to say the least. While she spent most of her time making poor decisions, Faith redeems herself through her impersonation of Buffy when her and the leading slayer switch bodies. This may be my fascination with Freaky Friday (2003) talking but I love these story arcs simply because I feel like a part of some inside joke with the characters, especially when I start saying, "Oh my god, that's totally how Buffy would act" every five seconds.
4) The Wish (3×09) – With all the movies out there about wishing away someone's existence and the consequences of such a decision, you would think that producers would stop trying to make this plot-line work but apparently, Buffy did not get the memo. And thank god it didn't. Season three's episode "The Wish" envisions what the world would be like without Buffy Summers, meaning, a world where Xander and Willow are very disturbing-looking vampires and Sunnydale is overrun with monsters.
5) Hush (4×10) – Before Joss Whedon was confusing audiences with his musical episode, he was captivating us by opting for the exact opposite extreme: total silence. In the episode "Hush," a group of ghouls named "The Gentleman" strip everyone in Sunnydale of their voices. In the 44 minute episode, there is only 17 minutes of dialogue.
6) Halloween (2×06) – Remember that time that you dressed up as an 80-year-old, promiscuous Wonderwoman? Now imagine if, once you put on the costume, you actually became that person? In the 1997 "Halloween" episode of Buffy, a shop owner begins selling costumes to kids that turn them into whatever character they're portraying. I feel bad for all of the people dressed as bees and M&Ms…
7) Band Candy (3×06) – There's a reason teenagers don't rule the Earth and if anyone had any doubts about that, this episode of Buffy would be the first place to look. When the principal of Sunnydale High School starts handing out cursed band candy, the characters begin channeling their adolescent roots. I can handle Buffy becoming a bad driver (though I'm tempted to believe this was also a commentary on women's driving skills), but when Giles and Joyce Summers started making out, that's where I drew the line. This episode weirded me out, which is how it ended up on this list.

Stephen Montgomery signed End the U.S. Policy of Perpetual War 2017-05-10 21:55:51 -0700It's time for a change.
End the U.S. Policy of Perpetual WarGOAL: 1,910 signatures
For every 1,000 signatures, NationofChange will send a letter to President Trump, telling him to end the U.S. policy of perpetual war.
[Update 3/16/17: We have sent the first letter to President Trump with 1,000+ of your signatures. We will continue to send letters every 1,000 signatures. Thank you!]
As Michael Payne puts it, "The War on Terror is not a war unto itself; it is just one facet of the larger agenda of perpetual war that this government, filled with bloodthirsty war hawks, has conducted for far too long."
For the last 15 years America, has been engaged in perpetual war.
Our government tells us to be afraid, and that terrorist groups pose a great threat to our country. But America has played the largest role in the origin, spread, and cultivation of these terrorist groups with our constant aggressive military policies.
It is time for the United States to end this state of perpetual war, to bring our troops home, and to cease our aggressive military policies.
Please join us in telling President Trump to stop the war on terror. We need to promote peace and communication between countries, not aggressive foreign policy and military practices.

While many are mentioned in the scriptures as it relates to the story of the first Christmas, many were unaware of the impact of this event.
The first of those who missed Christmas was quite obviously the innkeeper, although his name is not actually mentioned. In the hustle and bustle of his life, he missed it, although one would think that, of all those mentioned, he should not have missed it.
Mary and Joseph must have come to the desk of the innkeeper, and the child was born in a stable because "there was no room for them in the inn."

how do i stop outlook express from wanting to compress my files, the popup asking is a pain in the neck
how do i stop outlook express from wanting to compress my files, the popup asking is a pain in the neck
Are you sure it's compress and not something like compact? I don't recall Outlook Express ever asking to compress files.
yes it is compact .. sorry, but the end result is the same, but i should have been more precise
The following page maybe helpful:
It lists why you should run the compact function and how to setup Outlook Express to make a backup before you tell Outlook Express to run the compact function in case when during compacting the message store get corrupted (which normally should not happen).
I am not interested in running Outlook Express compact function, i dont need to do it, i have a 4Gig partition just for my mail store, all i am wanting to find out and get help with is stopping Outlook Express compacting...
Thank you ..
I just searched with Google and found http://groups.google.co.uk/gro.....b12b9bfb4f
It appears the popup comes up when Outlook Express has been closed 100 times and the only ways to remove it is to either compact like it wants to or edit the registry to reset the 100 times counter to 0.
Thankyou for this info, and i feel like an idiot for not doing the google thing too ... Thanks

Banks have so far received over 35,000 applications for Prime Minister's Youth Business Loan Scheme (YBLS), and the first balloting is scheduled for February 28, 2014 in Islamabad.

Over 35,000 applications have been received by both banks. Majority of applications have been collected by NBP, having a large network across the country.
Sources said NBP has received some 35,000 applications through its 1,341 branches.there is very poor response from women as FWBL has received only 227 applications through its 41 branches.
The government is also likely to review the women quota to address the requirement of other sectors/provinces as the current number of forms did not full the allotted women quota of 50 percent. NBP has approved some 4500-5000 applications, while First Women bank has approved some 60 applications.
All the approved applications will be sent to the PM Youth Loan Scheme Secretariat for balloting, after which both banks will disburse the approved amount among those applicants, which will be selected through balloting, sources said.
Under the loan scheme, unemployed citizens of Pakistan youth group would be given Rs 100,000 to Rs 2,000,000 for initiating their own businesses. Sources said during the recent visit of Karachi, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar reviewed the scheme in a meeting at the State Bank head office and asked NBP and FWBL officials to finalise the processing of application by February-end.
"First Women Bank has also started a special youth loan awareness programme under which women entrepreneurs are being encouraged to apply for the loan.
So far, First Women Bank has conducted some 5 awareness programmes in Karachi and Lahore to motivate women for the loan scheme," they added. The federal government has allocated some Rs 5 billion in the budget 2013-14 for YBLS and some 100,000 loans.

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Monday, Dec. 7, 2009
The Hudson Valley Community College hockey team defeated Erie Community College, 7-6, in a high-scoring game on Saturday, Dec. 5. The contest had three ties and three lead changes throughout.
Hudson Valley found themselves down 2-0 in the first period when David Gordon (St. Mary's, Lynnfield, MA) got the Viking's on the scoreboard. Brendan Costin (Lynnfield, Lynnfield, MA) tied the game up in the second. After giving up another two goals to Erie, a string of goals from Angelo Rosena (Nottingham, Hamilton, NJ), Anthony Girard (Okanason Hockey Academy, San Diego, CA) and Tim Zimmerman (Kings Park, Kings Park) gave the Vikings a 5-3 lead. Hudson Valley surrendered its two goal lead as they gave up two more scores to Erie to knot the game at 5-5. But, back-to-back goals from Andrew Dahlen (Lake Brantley, Littleton, CO) and Costin gave the Vikings all they would need for the 7-6 victory.
The Vikings will host Broome Community College on Wednesday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m.

This photomicrograph revealed the cytoarchitectural histopathologic changes detected in a liver sample from a Marburg patient (case #1) who was treated in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1975. As the disease progresses, symptoms of Marburg disease can become increasingly severe and may include liver failure, jaundice, inflammation of the pancreas, severe weight loss, delirium, shock, massive hemorrhaging, and multi-organ dysfunction.

Sergeant Glenn Vermette leans inside a truck window, his head a hand's length away from the driver's face.
"Anything to drink tonight?" the Victoria police officer says, as he eyes the interior of the vehicle.
It's Saturday night on Yates Street in downtown Victoria, and police have set up a seasonal roadblock aimed at nabbing drunk drivers. Sgt. Vermette's literal in-your-face technique, honed over 22 years of conducting these CounterAttack snares, is the first test. "Your nose works wonders," he reminded officers at a briefing earlier in the night.
The current state of B.C.'s drunk driving law means this roadblock is a fragile construction. Even two arrests for drunk driving here could bring the roadblock down for the night because it would tie up most of the officers with paperwork and process.
That is the unintended consequence of a Nov. 30 court ruling. For drivers who are suspected of being over the legal limit for alcohol in their bloodstream, police are forced to choose between time-consuming criminal investigations or just getting as many drunks off the road as possible.
One driver reeks of stale alcohol. He tells the officer he had a couple of beers and is asked to blow into a handheld Breathalyzer. The device shows his blood alcohol level is safely below the legal limit. "Thanks for telling us the truth," Sgt. Vermette tells him, and the driver is on his way.
Had the screening device registered a "warn" – an intermediate rating for a blood-alcohol content between .05 and .08 – he would have been slapped with a three-day driving suspension.
If it flashed a red "fail," he could have faced criminal charges. Then again, if police were really busy, the driver might have gotten off with as little as a 24-hour driving suspension.
"One of the short-term dilemmas we are going to have to deal with is, in theory, you could be treated more harshly by getting a warn than blowing a fail," said Victoria Police Chief Jamie Graham, who heads the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police Traffic Safety Committee.
Last year, the province rolled out what it billed as the toughest drunk driving law in the country – one that Chief Graham had a hand in crafting. It allowed police to dispense swift justice at the roadside. In half an hour, Sgt. Vermette could have an impaired driver off the road for 90 days.
It also effectively decriminalized drunk driving – just a small number of B.C. drivers have been charged since the law came into effect. But Andrew Murie, CEO of MADD Canada, said the new regime has proven to be a more effective deterrent. "The beauty of the administrative penalties is that they kept more police on the streets to stop people from drinking and driving," he said Friday.
The new law, inevitably, was challenged in court. Mr. Justice Jon Sigurdson of the B.C. Supreme Court ruled last month that drivers who failed a test on a roadside screening device should have a better appeal process.
The province has vowed to amend the law early next spring to restore the full suite of immediate roadside prohibitions, or IRPs. This season, however, police are operating under two different laws depending on a driver's level of intoxication.
Sgt. Vermette's team last weekend included six officers. The first driver to fail a handheld Breathalyzer test was accompanied back to cells by two officers who spent the next three or four hours conducting the more rigorous breath analysis test, fingerprinting, dealing with lawyers and doing paperwork. Had a second driver been arrested for suspected impaired driving, there wouldn't have been enough officers left to maintain the roadblock.
The government, police and officials from MADD talk about how the new IRP program saves lives. The first year under the new regime saw a 40-per-cent reduction in traffic fatalities related to alcohol.
But the 2010 law also appears to have created a more consistent response to drunk driving. Police don't like to say that the punishment for drunk driving in B.C. can be capricious, but the statistics tell a surprising story.
The majority of drivers who were given an alcohol-related driving penalty under the old system, prior to September, 2010, faced only a 24-hour driving prohibition – meaning, police processed the majority of drivers in the intermediate category, reserving the trip to the police station for a more rigorous sobriety test and the rest of the time-consuming criminal investigation for the most dangerous drivers.
"The sad reality is the impaired criminal investigation became so complicated it was almost impossible to get a conviction unless you do a lot of these, and that's all you do," Chief Graham said.
In the five years prior to the new law, an average of 8,000 impaired driving charges were laid each year. And an average of 4,800 of those charges led to a guilty verdict.
But a dramatic switch took place when the new law came into effect. The ratio of drivers found to be over the legal limit, compared to those in the intermediate range, reversed. In the first year under the IRP system, more than 17,000 drivers faced penalties after blowing over .08 in a roadside screening test.
Did British Columbia drivers suddenly change their drinking habits? More likely, police using the administrative penalties were able to consistently treat people who failed the roadside screening test as the law intended.
Solicitor-General Shirley Bond said she intends to make legislative amendments a top priority when the House returns in February. "It's critical that we move as quickly as possible to help clarify some of the uncertainty that exists today," she said in an interview this week.
But at least some of the uncertainty could be resolved on Monday, when Judge Sigurdson hears from the province on its proposed remedy, and from lawyers representing drivers who want punishments imposed under the flawed law revoked.
The province is hoping to limit the scope of the judgment, so that it doesn't include people who refused to provide a breath sample. It also will argue that the ruling should not be applied retroactively.
One thing is certain: The police want the 2010 law restored as soon as possible.
A week before the court judgment threw B.C.'s drunk driving laws into disarray, Sgt. Vermette heard Premier Christy Clark speaking about the success of the IRP regime. He wrote down her words, which he now holds up as a solid commitment to restore the 2010 law: "The greatest risk to our children and the people that we love is not terrorism, it is not a plane crash," Ms. Clark said. "It is a drunk driver."Report Typo/Error

Spring fashion is filled with prints and florals, which can be tricky to mix-and-match, but the Norwegian Wood SS10 collection pulls it off beautifully. The bold pattern-mixing is regarded by Kingdom of Style as "tempered by ensuring the tones are subtly complementary," meaning each ensemble doesn't look all over the place.
The Norwegian Wood SS10 collection is more edgy than whimsical, which is refreshing for a spring collection. Also, the model's half-shaved hairstyle, which is becoming extremely popular, gives that added oomph to each outfit.

Fisherman Fighting Dominion Cove Point LNG Export Terminal Worried About Explosions, Long-Term Impacts
Caroline Selle | February 4, 2014
By Caroline Selle • Tuesday, February 4, 2014 - 05:00
Pete Ide probably isn't the first person you'd expect to oppose the Dominion Cove Point liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal.
"First of all, I have to be frank," he says. "I depend on fossil fuels to make a living." A charter boat captain on the Chesapeake Bay, Ide has fished his entire life. As such, he's seen the decline in water quality and marine life in the Chesapeake firsthand.
"The water quality has been so bad these past two years, I had to move my boat because there weren't any fish here," he says. The dead zones get larger every year as algae blooms exacerbated by runoff from farm fertilizer, industrial livestock and poultry production eat up the oxygen marine life needs to survive.
Though the Dominion Cove Point LNG terminal won't be dumping fertilizer, Ide says it will just be one more step in the degradation. "It's not going to put me out of business," he says, "but it's another brick in the wall. It's 49 more acres of heavy industrial build-out on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay."
Through seafood production and tourism, the Chesapeake Bay supports more than a trillion dollars of economic activity. The Calvert County shore in Maryland, where Dominion Energy plans to build the liquefaction facility, is home to wetlands and rare species of plants and animals, including migratory birds. Construction would require clearing forests and bringing in heavy construction materials on the Patuxent River.
Dominion Energy's plans require constructing an on-site 130 megawatt power plant, storage units and a liquefaction facility. Upstream, pipelines, pier adjustments and compressor stations will need to be constructed or adapted for shipping natural gas.
When constructed, the facility will be the fourth largest greenhouse gas emitter in Maryland, and it won't just be pumping out greenhouse gases. Nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide and particulates are all byproducts of natural gas usage and are air pollutants regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Air Act. The World Health Organization recognized the negative health effects of air pollution, such as cancer, earlier this year.

As I mentioned on Twitter yesterday, just like that we are (not) homeowners. It is so much easier to be on the seller's end of the table at closing. It's more wham, bam, thank you, ma'am and less sign, here and here and here. That doesn't mean that it wasn't painful, because oh boy, was it ever painful handing over that check, but nonetheless it is done and over and I'm once again a road warrior.
Which brings me to the reason I fell in love with Jon all over again yesterday. I noticed a random cd sitting on the console in my car yesterday while sitting in traffic. It was a Rascal Flatts cd and I thought, "Oh, I'll just pop that in and escape from the endless drone of afternoon radio shows." Then I noticed there was already a cd in my stereo. I popped it out and it was a cd entitled "Songs for Katie".
Yes, folks, Jon made me a mix tape! Well, a mix cd but I prefer the term mix tape. He knew how much I have been dreading this commute so he put together a cd of some of my favorite songs, songs that remind me of him, our songs and songs that are commute appropriate. I drove home with the biggest grin on my face.
Some of the tracks include, "Can't Help Falling in Love" - UB40 (our original wedding song), "No Tears" - Scarface (from the hilarious scene in the beginning of Office Space), "Pussy Control" - Prince (one of my favorites), "Move, Bitch" - Ludacris (in homage to my aggressive driving), "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" - Wham (I always give my sleepy-doo a smooch before I leave), "Would You Go With Me?" - Josh Turner (one of our songs) and "Better Together" - Jack Johnson (a song that reminds me of him).
Le sigh. It totally made my commute a lot less dreadful. Gosh, I love him!

That is right, more gadget buyers are men, so why not bait them with a ladies soft touch? So thinks Samsung who has employed a sex'd up womanly hold on it's new P2 DAP. This smart looking player features a touchscreen and some side buttons.
While there seems to be limited hard facts at this point, Engadget says it features a virtual click wheel of sorts (based on info from a German site). Easy spots are the Bluetooth compatibility, Mp3, WMA, JPEG, MPEG4, and FM Radio. Akihabara says it will come in 2/4/8GB sizes, probably for Korea only.

Manning, Alan (2011) The recent debate over the 50p tax rate illustrates that academic debates conducted through newspaper letters pages are rarely productive. Economists have an obligation to provide serious evidence for their claims. Impact of Social Sciences Blog (28 Sep 2011) Blog Entry.

Last week 20 economists wrote to the Financial Times urging the government to scrap the 50% marginal tax rate on incomes over £150,000. Alan Manning argues that while it is important for academics to influence debate on public policy, such 'group' letters are more about who is signing them than the content that they contain.

Which is better when applying for a mortgage, lower your income to debt ratio by paying more each month or to save a larger down payment and keep your monthly payments lower?
This is a very good question. Before applying for a mortgage you should have worked on eliminating a good majority of consumer debt to lower your debt-to-income ratio, improve your credit scores, and increase cash flow. If you save enough to put down a large down payment, let's say 20%, you should first check how much you can afford in payments monthly. The reason behind this is to leverage and keep funds liquid for other purposes. Remember there is no rate of return in equity. Therefore, the least amount you put as a down payment the higher the rate of return will be.
I like to always advise my clients never to put a big down payment if they can afford a higher loan amount. I tell them that keeping money liquid is critical in case an emergency should arise that will prevent them from working. I tell my clients that they should always have 6 months of salary in a liquid savings account or asset accumulation account to withdrawal at any time without having to refinance.
All of my clients will have a personalized Mortgage Plan that helps them save thousands of dollars over time on their mortgage. With these savings they can sit with a financial planner who will help them allocate those savings in an asset accumulation account. Not only are they increasing liquidity, safety, rate of return and tax deductions, but they are also planning for retirement and reaching the freedom point sooner where their assets have exceeded their liabilities.

Capilano Suspension Bridge and the attached park is amazing, I loved it. Mum you would have flipped, the entire bridge swayed a lot! Straight from the web site "Vancouver's oldest tourist attraction, originally built in 1889, stretches 450 feet (137m) across and 230 feet (70m) above Capilano River." It was incredibly cool. The forrest around it was so re-chargind and amazingly beautiful. The trees! There was a large Tree House and I would have been quite happy to stay there. The air was so clean.
There is also a Tree Top Walk there which looks like an Ewok villiage
I managed to get a money shot with my Energy Resourcing Australia T-Shirt. Ha! Although I look like I am suffering from jet lag still. After wondering around there and exploring all of the little places we took the bus further up the hill to the base of Grouse Mountain, where we took a gondela up the Mountain, which is 3000 feet above sea level. The coolest thing is when the gondela goes through one of the cable towers it sways heaps. The view from there as you are making your way up the mountain is incredible.
Grouse Mountain still had a little snow, but it was not very clean so we decided to stay well away from it. They have large carvings all over the landscape and we were walking to the Grizzly Bear area and we saw a stand for BeaverTails and had to stop. They are the yummies pastieries ever. I got a maple walnut one yummmmm. Then we went and saw some of the birds of prey that they have in the park. They are generlly roaming around the place and then come back to rest for the evening. Deer and squirells where wondering around and I managed to get some good shots of a brown squirel.
The park hosts two Grizzly Bears who were rehabilitiated and now live there, they can not release them into the wild as they are too used to humans now. I climed on to a large pipe structure (not 100% sure I was aloud up there but dam it gave me a great view) and started to take heaps of photos.
After Heather and I walked a very steap hike up the mountain, the flies where very annoying but we managed to make it pretty high up
On the way back they had a Lumberjack show which was quite fun, they split the crowd into two teams and we had our own Lumberjack to support. Ours won. It was quite a funny show.
There was a mass exit from the Mountain after that (it was around 5.30pm) and the line to get back down the Mountain was really long so Heather and I wondered around the info centre. After checking back in with the Parentals and buying this amazing native Warrior Mask we came back down, bused it back to the SeaBus, got over the sea, walked about to the Hotel and then over to the Internet Cafe. After walking over 5 hours today, this is about all I can manage at 8.30pm!
I have a very early flight tomorrow morning to Vancouver Island and my tour starts on the 2nd of July. I may not have a chance to update for a little bit.

BNZ is to appeal last month's High Court ruling that it owes Inland Revenue $654 million in back taxes and interest related to its use of "structured finance"' transactions several years ago, but it will write off that amount in this year's accounts.
Meanwhile, information obtained by the Green Party reveals the IRD has spent $38.5 million over the past seven years pursuing banks over their use of the transactions.
BNZ yesterday confirmed it had filed a notice to appeal Justice John Wild's ruling last month that the bank's use of six structured finance transactions between 1998 and 2005 was indeed, as the Commissioner of Inland Revenue contended, tax avoidance.
"This is a complex area of law, and given the facts of the case, we're not convinced that the decision was the right outcome," said BNZ chief executive Andrew Thorburn yesterday.
Chief financial officer Ken Christie told the Business Herald that since receiving Justice Wild's judgment, the bank had sought further external legal advice, "and our view hasn't really changed, we still believe we want to appeal this case".
In the meantime, Christie says the bank will provision $661 million in this year's accounts both against the sum it owes Inland Revenue and a further $7 million against additional legal costs which will be incurred in the appeal.
The bank's overall net profit last year was $785 million.
Christie said the provision was "appropriate and conservative" and did "not all all" reflect the bank's view as to whether or not its appeal would succeed. After taking the provision the bank would still hold capital well in excess of Reserve Bank requirements and, as stated previously, "the provision will have no impact on BNZ's ability to meet any debt or equity obligations". Should its appeal succeed, the provision would be written back into the bank's accounts.
Christie was unable to say how much the battle with the IRD had cost the bank over the past few years "other than to say they've been substantial".
In a response to a question from Green Party co-leader Russel Norman, Revenue Minister Peter Dunne revealed the IRD's costs related to its pursuit of the banks over the use of structured finance transactions totalled $38.5 million by the end of last month.
The IRD first identified issues with the transactions in late 2002 and began tracking associated investigation and legal costs in the 2003 financial year.
BNZ's initial defeat bodes ill for the other major banks which are also challenging similar amended assessments related to their use of the same mechanism.
Westpac is challenging the biggest amended assessment in the High Court at Auckland. Its action over $903 million in back taxes and interest began on June 30. The IRD concluded its closing statements yesterday and the bank begins its closing today.
Given the experience of the BNZ case the judge's Westpac ruling will likely take several weeks to prepare.
Spokeswomen for ASB Bank and ANZ National said court dates for their hearings were yet to be confirmed.
Rabobank, which is also facing an amended IRD assessment, chooses not to disclose its contingent liability.

The visitors to this Bhow tonight will witness three good pictures. • The Lighting Raiders," is a good one. In addition will be seen Harold Lloyd in "I'm On My Way' and a big V. comedy "Bums and Boarders" This makes up a tasty program. Dr. Theodore Hanson of Kansas City, manager and general superintendent of the National Public Welfare League, presented his opening address last evening at the First Methodist church. Tile National League is promoting the welfare department in the units of government, city, county aud state. 'Emphasis is laid on the fact that organized society, the body politic, mast assume the responsibility of dealing with the causes of our social ills rather than simply handling the product." Dr. Hanson advocates the policy 'hat "Efficiency in government is not building institutes to house the social wreckage but rather to eliminate the cause which occasions the downfall of our boys and girls, and in the place of playing the roll of 'big police" we must supply the big brother' spirit." The speaker deals very definitely with the public amusements as an outstanding destructive or construe-ti\ e element in character building. ' The community play-life either supplements and bulwarks the school and church and home or. it runs lankly undermines the counter and efficiency of However, advocate th* amusements, community new sKK'ial all' Dr elimination blit insists is responsible order, where than Quitman Prewett is back home from overseas service, having received his discharge from the army.

Hanson does not of public that the under the it is the community rather than the home that supplies the social play-life of the home, to see that th** whole is made helpful and constructive. The speaker further insists that "The body community must be held responsible to se** that the proper physical and sanitary conditions are furnished in the home life of all the boys and girls." Stating also that "we are very particular with respect to our obligations to the murderers and criminals. whom we place in our penitentiaries, to see that all modern and sanitary appliances are furnished. to see that the institution is kept clean and wholesome." Then why should not society be as much interested in the multitude of boys and girls outside of our penal institutes living; in unsanitary and unwholesome conditions? He insists that "it is cheaper from the standpoint of economy. only, to build out of the boy* and girls a constructive citizenship than to handle them or to care for them after they have gone wrong. He opened our eyes when he said that, "Crime alone in the United States costs more than the education of all our children." Thus showing us how "Religion has unfortunately been too closely connected with death and not enough with' life." Those who were present on the occasion of the meeting last evening were impressed with the sincerity of Dr. Hanson's message and it certainly behooves every citizen of Ada to improve this opportunity to acquaint himself with this great modern movement. The mothers, especially, are urg*d to be present at the service to be held at the church Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock when the subject Under discussion will be, "Prevention. Not Cure." "The \\ hat, Why and How" will be the subject under discussion at the evening service on tomorrow evening at 7:45 o'clock. The committee appointed last night consists of J. M. Gordon, W. \Y.

American embassy at Mexico City w*as today instructed to make inquiries concerning the report that Mexican government had granted agricultural concessions to Japanese in Lower California and report the facts immediately. As no official information had reached the state department, yesterday** dispatches regarding concession to Japanese created a surprise in official circles. The American government is interested because of apparent Japanese success in ob-j taming a long sought foothold in ! bowet California and because the I land involved was developed and is 1 claimed by an American company whose rights w*ere declared forfeited bv the Mexican government on April ' 7*. 1917. Reports from Mexico City. .MEXICO CITY. March 31.—That Japanese corporations have been granted concessions to exploit agricultural lands in Lower California was the statement made Saturday by General Amado Aguirre, Undersecretary of Development and Agriculture. The affirmation was made, however. that the concessions were fully authorized by the provisions of the Mexican Constitution regarding the area and position of the territory in relation to the ocean shore and the frontier line. There was nothing in the concessions. it was asserted by the undersecretary, that might possibly lead to difficulty as far as the Monroe Doctrine w*as concerned. Report* that there is a possibility of international controversy over the granting of the concessions to the Japanese were said to be absurd by General Amado Aguirre in an interview* earlier In the day, in w*hich he said the action was legal. At that time he would not admit the concessions had been granted. The Japanese legation here denied it had any official knowledge of the action.

Hi all, I am hoping someone out there can help solve this problem. I bought my e36 2 weeks ago and was thrilled when DH gave me a keyless entry kit. The car has central locking via the key so the aim is to convert it to keyless (fob).
Had the kit wired in by an electronic friend but we have come across a stumbling block. When the fob is pressed it operates the hazard lights and directional light..all ok there. However it will not open or lock the doors!
Behind the glove compartment, the loom which deals with the central locking is purple (not yellow) in colour. We connected the wires from the unit to pins number 4 and 17. No joy. It appears that a previous alarm was fitted to the car as pin 17 seems to have a purple wire coming from it which is further attached to an orange and black wire. There is no alarm module so this is now inactive.
We have tried by passing the block and connecting the wires directly to the colours which are located at 4 and 17 still no joy
Please can anyone help?
many thanks

There's only one way to test a bullet proof vest: with bullets. Of course, any vest worth its hefty price tag has already been certified by the National Institute of Justice, so you can be pretty confident it'll work. But just how much pain will you experience while having your life saved? And what if someone decides to subject your vest to more punishment than it's designed for? In the world of "bullet resistance" (no garment is truly bulletproof), the term overkill takes on special significance.
Roundup: Bulletproof Vests
Talk about protection: The dimples left by the .44-caliber rounds in our lab tests were so negligible, the techs didn't deem them worthy of measurement.Held up even when Castle shot it twice in the same spot. Simple,concealable design. Least expensive vest in the group.
Some bullets left sharp plastic edges protruding from the point of impact. But you wouldn't wear a vest that's already been shot anyway. Besides, the low price on this one makes replacement a no-brainer.
How We Rate
- 1/10A complete failure in every way
- 2/10Sad, really
- 3/10Serious flaws; proceed with caution
- 4/10Downsides outweigh upsides
- 5/10Recommended with reservations
- 6/10Solid with some issues
- 7/10Very good, but not quite great
- 8/10Excellent, with room to kvetch
- 9/10Nearly flawless
- 10/10Metaphysical perfection
The NIJ recognizes six levels of ballistic protection for body armor; IIIA is the highest rating a soft garment (one with no metal plates inside) can attain. Naturally, that's what we chose to test.
We began by the book, at the Oregon Ballistics Lab — one of five NIJ-certified facilities in the US. Instead of strapping the vests on an intern (author's note: that would be me) and emptying a clip, the folks at OBL mounted the armor on a 220-pound block of modeling clay and used a mechanized rig to punish each with six.44-caliber and six .357 rounds. No need to count cracked ribs; to gauge impact, we simply measured the resulting craters. The greater the deformation in the clay, the greater the deformation would be in your chest.
The NIJ tests were awesome, but this evaluation wouldn't be extreme if we didn't crank it up to 11. So we enlisted the help of a friend, Mac Castle, who has a firing range in his basement and was nice enough to go just a tad more, er, ballistic on our test subjects.
Castle subjected each vest to six more .44-caliber slugs, some of them 25 percent heavier than the .44s at OBL. The bullets did some ugly damage, but we never had a vest truly fail. Good thing, too; in this category, we like a bit of engineering overkill.
1. Bulletproof Body armor HQ Vest
$344, bulletproofbodyarmorhq.com
2. Miguel Caballero Polo
WIRED Even after 12 rounds,ballistic material was still shrugging off slugs with ease. The polo-shirt exterior stayed cool under fire, with only small holes that you'd have to get pretty close to — we're talkin' knife-range close — to notice.
TIRED Even James Bond's Q Branch might balk at the nearly 5-G price tag. The shirt doesn't really hide the armor underneath, so you're still gonna need that sketchy trench coat. So much for being inconspicuous.
$4,490, miguelcaballero.com
3. BulletProofME.com Jacket Vest
WIRED Comes zipped inside a warm and comfy L.L.Bean jacket, making it easy to wear in public without blowing your cover/attracting the attention of Homeland Security. The lightest vest tested.
TIRED Ouch! Clay indentations were at least 25 percent deeper than with the others. One bullet did go clean through, but since it was close to a previous hit, official NIJ tests would have forgiven this failure. Good thing real-world gunshots are so thoughtfully spaced!

Here's a column I wrote about the Dunne case suggesting that the media's predictions of doom and gloom were wrong.

The open-ended program began earlier this week. According to the manufacturers, the new sync software has been developed over the last 18 months. To test the tool, registration and compliance with a non disclosure agreement is necessary.
Based in San Diego, Information Appliance Associates is the company behind the Pocketmac. They concentrate mainly on the distribution of synchronization software for Mac and Windows systems. But their claim that the new tool is the first of its kind is not entirely true. The open source project Barry, also enables Linux users to synchronize with Blackberry and has, the project says, been available since 2005.
