Lake Como
... unreal, sun is fierce and not a breath of wind. Afternoons on the balcony are the order of the day, listening to all the birds shouting at each other and arguing over bread dropped on the floor at the cafe by the lake.
Only downside is having to wait until 7 till the restaurants open. Not easy for two gluttons like us. Had a rubbish meal first night too which is enough to put us in a bad mood for about a week. Italy almost done. ...
Day 2 - Milano
... thin, so I start watching a movie. That only lasted about 10-15mins before the guy finally arrived. The airport in Milano is a fair distance out of the city centre, so it seemed like it took forever. Finally we arrived at the hotel at around 4pm, somewhat 2hrs after we landed. Was good to have a quick lay down and a shower. It wasn't too long till I was down at the hotel bar, having a beer and watching the rugby union semi final between NZ and ...
Chapter Six - A quick visit to Switzerland
... br>
Como is a typical 19th. Century lake resort, similar to Lugano, only it's not quite as expensive. We stroll along the promenade, and decide to take the funicular to Brunate It's one of the longest I've ever seen, and one wonders what would happen if one of the wires break. A Disneyesque wild ride I would imagine!
We have reserved a table this evening ...
Lugano Easter Saturday
On the bus to Lagura Switzerland, free time for coffee and shopping in the markets. Weather is very cold here. We took the bus to the cable car up the mountain called Monte Tamaro. Beautiful views on the way up of the valley below, snow on the alps here. We had a set lunch menu and a walk around at the top, threw ...
Flying to a new journey ...
... my journey, and I kept adding people who asked to me on the mailing list. It was really enjoyable to share this with you.
Now, that I have downloaded all my 6000 pictures onto my computer, I will be adding them to my blog entries, so you will get emails still, but it will for the pictures, I will not be changing entries just adding pictures.
I wish you all the best, please keep on commenting, emailing me and keeping in touch!

Bleeding Bonds
Skade was insane. Ragta had realized this when she had watched her kill the king. Nanye was even more insane for not realizing this, or perhaps he did and just didn't care. But what sacred Ragta the most was that Nikolai, her rider, seemed to share Skade's disease.
Should she have seen it when they bonded? Was it bonding that had turned him? Had she done wrong? Should she have let the spirit's take him? Should she have taken their attack to signal that he wasn't fit.
Ragta trembled as they flew. Nikolai didn't seem to understand who they were tracking. Lady Aryanna and Princess Vellery had always been nice. She did not want to kill them. But what was she to do if Nikolai continued in his present state, kill him as she had killed her last rider? But, that had been an accident, she hadn't meant to do that. She couldn't kill another rider. Even with the Soulriders in chaos, Ragta wouldn't let herself bond again if she caused Nikolai's death no matter how monstrous he was.
Was that the pain Nanye felt? Was this the same chaos that went on in the elder dragon's mind? Ragta trembled again and Nikolai forced her down. She tried to slow down to give the people below them time to escape. But Nikolai, in his mad state, was faster and five more were killed by his blade. This time it was a family with three young children. The only comfort Ragta could find was the fact that the day was ending.
"We need to find rest for the night," she told Nikolai, braving to break the silence that existed between them.
"No," his answer was flat. "You can see in the dark."
"I need to eat and so do you," she insisted.
"You ate three days ago."
"And I have been flying non-stop since then."
Ragta landed; her nose scenting deer nearby. She waited only long enough for Nikolai to dismount before vaulting back up into the air.
"You abandon me and you are a dead dragon!" he yelled at her.
"I would never abandon my rider!"
Ragta swopped and killed two does and a yearling. She ate the two does before picking up the yearling and bringing it back to Nikolai.
"I would die before I abandoned my rider, no matter how horrible he was."
Ragta studied Nikolai with her fiery eyes, but she couldn't tell if he'd understood. Curling up she let herself rest determined not to budge until morning.
Morning brought a new scent to Ragta's nose. Nikolai had built a fire and had cooked the small deer. She could still smell that, but there was something else; another person. She moved her head ever so slowly. Nikolai was still asleep.
The person was nearby. Ragta sensed no fear, but rather a sense of wisdom.
"Password!" Nikolai demanded jumping up as the shadow moved in the trees.
"It's Cyllell!" Ragta mentally shouted at the figure.
"TRAITOR!" Nikolai suddenly spun upon Ragta his balde biting deep into her leathery hide.
She roared in pain.

First Rounders In Focus: End of Season
Khaled Elsayed starts the PFF season in review with a look at how all the first round rookies fared in 2013 for their teams.
First Rounders In Focus: End of Season
17. Jarvis Jones, OLB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Grade: -5.9
Snaps: 646
Analysis: Didn't turn his college production into NFL production as he battled for a starting spot (unconvincingly) for most of the year. Game looked a little quick for him at times and he rarely delivered the kind of pressure the team was looking for in a guy expected to replace James Harrison. Only Matt Shaughnessy (a base OLB for the Cardinals) had a worse pass rushing productivity score.
18. Eric Reid, S, San Francisco 49ers
Grade: +4.2
Snaps: 1,003
Analysis: Every time I write about Reid it's to remind everyone that the first rounder has fitted in seamlessly for the departed Dashon Goldson. That's the biggest thing you can say for him as he's ensured the team hasn't missed a beat even if he has missed more tackles (13) than you'd like.
19. Justin Pugh, RT, New York Giants
Grade: +6.6
Snaps: 1,042
Analysis: Before the draft many wondered if Pugh would be a tackle or guard, but he made an extremely convincing case he'll cope with the demands of playing out on an island for a long time. Finishing the year our highest ranked rookie first round tackle he put a difficult start behind him to earn six positively graded games in the final half of the season.
20. Kyle Long, G, Chicago Bears
Grade: -3.3
Snaps: 1,070
Analysis: For a guy with as limited collegiate experience as him, handled himself well. There were certainly times where he was exposed and looked a little lost, but those offset with some moments where his physical ability took over. The team will hope this was a development season for Long with more to come in the upcoming years.
21. Tyler Eifert, TE, Cincinnati Bengals
Grade: -1.8
Snaps: 681
Analysis: Saw a lot of action in two tight end sets, with Jermaine Gresham doing the heavy lifting with the in line work and Eifert moving around more often. Unfortunately he looked lightweight in the run game and didn't offset that with the kind of receiving production the team would have been hoping for. A mismatch that didn't take advantage of that often enough.
22. Desmond Trufant, CB, Atlanta Falcons
Grade: +11.7
Snaps: 1,022
Analysis: In a miserable year for Atlanta the play of Trufant was the biggest bright spot. Making himself a legit rookie Defensive Player of the Year candidate, the Falcon finished seventh in our cornerback coverage rankings. He also ended up behind only Brent Grimes and Alterraun Verner with his 17 combined pass break ups and interceptions. A quality win for the front office.
23. Shariff Floyd, DT, Minnesota Vikings
Grade: -1.3
Snaps: 472
Analysis: As the snap count suggested, the team brought him along extremely slowly in his debut season. That meant his impact was somewhat sporadic and he ended with just 19 quarterback disruptions and eight other defensive stops. You wouldn't expect him to be so quiet next year.
24. Bjorn Werner, OLB, Indianapolis Colts
Grade: -6.7
Snaps: 312
Analysis: Missed plenty of time hurt and then struggled to make much of an impact (as evidenced by only 13 quarterback disruptions) when he was on the field. Not the finished article, the hope has to be the coaching staff has the tools to develop his.
25. Xavier Rhodes, CB, Minnesota Vikings
Grade: +1.5
Snaps: 686
Analysis: Before his season ended after Week 14 seemed to be getting the hang of things after a tough stretch in the middle of the season. Last three games saw him earn a +5.6 grade with nine pass breaks ups over those games.
26. Datone Jones, DE, Green Bay Packers
Grade: -8.0
Snaps: 263
Analysis: Ended the year with a healthy 18 quarterback disruptions but rarely made the kind of instant impact you'd hope from a situational rusher. In fact saw his playing time decrease as the season went on with the team seeming to realize 2013 was not going to be his year.
27. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Houston Texans
Grade: -1.7
Snaps: 1,015
Analysis: Led the Texan receivers in snaps but fell 85 targets behind Andre Johnson. A victim at times of some erratic quarterback play, you get the impression if the team can feature him more then he'll make plays. His 15.4 yards per catch combined with just one drop all year are numbers to be impressed by.
28. Sylvester Williams, DT, Denver Broncos
Snaps: 301
Analysis: The injury to Kevin Vickerson has seen him get far more playing time in recent weeks and the results have been promising. Has certainly made more plays and has four positive grades on the bounce since his number began to be called more frequently.
29. Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Minnesota Vikings
Grade: +6.8
Snaps: 448
Analysis: Saw his snaps increase as the year went on, but you wonder why the team were so reluctant to play him and get the ball in his hands earlier in the year. Incredibly productive when he was on the field and likely to make a play at any point whether returning, receiving or rushing, the Vikings have found their replacement for Percy Harvin.
30. Alec Ogletree, LB, St Louis Rams
Grade: -4.4
Snaps: 1,055
Analysis: A lot to like about his rookie year, though he undid some of that with his 19 missed tackles and 785 receiving yards allowed in coverage. Patchy season with eight games graded positively, and eight games graded negatively.
31. Travis Frederick, C, Dallas Cowboys
Grade: +13.2
Snaps: 1,025
Analysis: Finished the season our seventh ranked center, and top of our positional run blocking rankings. The big problem was in pass protection where he had the fifth lowest grade of all centers, often struggling to anchor against bulrushes. He'll need to work on that if he wants to take the next step to elite center.
32. Matt Elam, S, Baltimore Ravens
Grade: -3.6
Snaps: 1,034
Analysis: Drafted to be more of a strong safety, the team cutting ties with Michael Huff meant he had to play more of the deep role while James Ihedigbo flied around making plays near the line of scrimmage. His troubles in coverage (-6.6) were his biggest problem and it will be interested to see what spots he ends up playing next year.

OK, so I had a fantastic idea.
You know, the Big Yawn/DCeiver folderol could continue ad infinitum if I wanted it to. But, it has been correctly pointed out, my continuing it isn't very interesting for anyone.
I think that what one commenter had to say is right: Blogging, on one level, is essentially a safe promontory for a person to spout outrageous opinions. I do it. My pal Here's a Hint does it. If you ever read my man Castor Oil's blog, you know he can stick and move with the best of 'em.
But, maybe it would actually be very interesting if I did something different--if I invited the much maligned Big Yawn editors into my safe space to give back as good as they got? Tear down the barricades that allow me to toss grenades, and let them write their own story on these pages for all to see, and to remain in theoretical perpetuity? That might be different. That might be cool. At any rate, it would elevate things considerably.
So here's what I propose. I have been looking to do another Seven Deadly Questions featurette after the first one with HaH. I say, let's have me and the editors of Big Yawn each interview the other in the seven-question-over-email format. I'll give those guys the opportunity to ask me where I get off. And I'll run both interviews on this site, and give them permission (not that they need me permission) to run both on theirs. And it will be completely unexpirgated and unedited.
And let's not go into this with any preconceptions. If it ends up vitriolic, we'lll accept from the outset that that's allowed to happen. If its hugs all around, that's fine too. But I want to allow the discussion on this site about this matter to stop being so one sided, with me having final edit.
All right. Now I'm at least interested. I will email this post to those dudes, and invite them to contact me with the "Drop Me A Line" feature on my sidebar.
If any of you think this stands to a crushing bore, feel free to indicate so. But let's see if I don't end up getting what's coming to me, whatever that may be.

London Fashion Week is upon us and the general rule is: if you ain't got an invitation you're not coming in. But... if you're keen to get in on the action, there are opportunities for plebs like us to sneak in to the unofficial parties, linger on the steps of the catwalk venues, and dine out and drink up in the same places as the glitterati — you just need to know where to go. So here's our guide to getting the most out of London Fashion Week without being Cara Delevingne's BFF — but shh, we're trying to stay exclusive, so don't let everyone in on the secret.
Harvey Nichols Fifth Floor Bar
This colourful bar is a great place for people-watching at the best of times but during Fashion Week the sleb-spotting goes up a notch. There's a special Fashion Week drinks menu inspired by different A/W fashion shows. Try the Birds cocktail, which is bold and bright and pays homage to Alexander McQueen's latest collection: a base of Sipsmith vodka, with cherry orange blossom, a dribble of vermouth and chocolate bitters (£18.95, including a side dish of chocolates).
109 -125 Knightsbridge, SW1X 7RJ, harveynichols.com
Tom's Terrace
What better way to soak up the Fashion Week vibes than being at the heart of the action? The boozing den of Tom (Aitken not Ford) is the outdoor bar overlooking the Thames by Somerset House, where the majority of the LFW catwalk shows take place. Simply order a glass of bubbly, hover by the exit and gaze on as the beautiful people clatter like delicate fawns up and down Somerset House's stone steps.
Somerset House, Strand, WC2R 1LA, somersethouse.org.uk
Gong at The Shard
Gong is part of the new suite of venues that opened along with the Shangri-La hotel at The Shard this year. It's super-luxe and full of fabulous people even when Fashion Week isn't on. Slip on something sexy and and nab a window seat in time for sunset. It's the highest bar in London, so you'll be torn between watching the gorgeous views and the glamorous people.
31 St Thomas Street, SE1 9QU, gong-shangri-la.com
If you're trying to stay slim for that all-important Fashion Week party, order Cartizze's sharp and sassy Skinny B cocktail. Designed specially for Fashion Week, it's low calorie, but still tasty with prosecco, perked up by three scoops of vodka-lime sorbet, lime liqueur and a spritz of lime juice (£12).
4 Lancashire Court, W1S 1EY, cartizzebar.com
The Happenstance
The Happenstance is decorated with fashionable trinkets from the days of yore. Inspect its crevices while sipping the Instagrammable London Fashion Tweet cocktail, made with gin, peach liqueur, peach bitters, rose wine, soda and topped with mint and rose petals. Pretty enough to be papped.

Horst: Photographer in Style
V&A, until Sun Jan 4
This exhibition leads us through 250 beautiful portraits and a few landscapes from fashion photographer Horst P. Horst. The early works are in black and white and then, in the later years, colour seeps in, but in all of the photos a great mastery of lightness and shade is evident. The allure of many of the portraits lies in the fact they feature high society models (the Cara Delevingnes of the day) and famous actresses including Marlene Dietrich and Bette Davis, so not only is this a chance to see fabulous dresses on beautiful models, it's also a 60-year-long chronicle of the evolution of the fashion world. Our critic gave this exhibition five stars.

Drawing on Style: Four Decades of Elegance
Gallery 8, Sep 11-16
Back in the day, before fashion photography took over, glossy fashion magazines like Vogue and Harpers used to carry fashion illustrations on their pages. This exhibition resurrects those drawings — hasty sketches on thin layout paper, dribbled with ink and watercolours; much maligned in their day — and displays them in a way that makes us appreciate them for what they are: an artform. Some of the works are even available to purchase, that is if you've got a spare few grand lying around.
Gallery 8, 8 Duke Street, St James's, SW1Y 6BN, 8dukestreet.co.uk/#/forthcoming
Wedding Dresses: 1775-2014
V&A, until Sun Mar 15
Here's another five star exhibition (according to our critic), also at the V&A, but we're not playing favourites with the venue, this is a genuinely brilliant show that will appeal to fashionistas even if they're dead set against all that marriage malarkey. The wedding dress is always the pinnacle of any designer's collection and here you get to see the crème de la crème of those special dresses (often, incidentally, rendered in cream). You'll learn how wedding dress styles have evolved across two centuries, see gorgeous designs by Vera Wang, Christian Lacroix (the fairytale king of wedding dresses) and Vivienne Westwood, and get up close to gowns worn by the likes of Dita Von Teese and Gwen Stefani.

Knitwear: Chanel to Westwood
Fashion and Textile Museum, Sep 19-Jan 18
Getting Fashion Week withdrawal? never fear! this exhibition opens during the London Fashion Weekend (a week after Fashion Week, September 18-21) to keep the fashion vibes going. With an iconic 1920s Chanel jersey, a cute but completely impractical selection of knitted swimwear and experimental knitwear from Comme des Garçons, Vivienne Westwood and Julien MacDonald, knitting never looked so good (except in the case of the swimwear, where it just looks mental). You might even be inspired to create your own woollen wonder at one of the accompanying knitting and stitching workshops.
Fashion and Textile Museum, 83 Bermondsey Street, SE1 3XF, ftmlondon.org
All the official Fashion Week parties are closed to the public but we've come up with a few ingenious ways to get in on the action.
The Miss Hoi Polloi Pageant
Hoi Polloi, Tue Sep 16
This Fashion Week party at Hoi Polloi, the Ace Hotel's restaurant, offers something a little different — it pays homage to the 1968 drag pageant documentary 'The Queen'. If you don't manage to gatecrash you can still hang out at this fashionable hotspot because it's celebrating London Fashion Week all week long with the refreshing Fantabulosa, a cocktail of lemongrass and cardamon-infused gin, muddled with cucumber and mint, available at the Hoi Polloi and the stylish lobby bar.
100 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6JQ, acehotel.com
The Vogue party
Location tbc, Tue Sep 16
This is the holy grail of Fashion Week parties and the odds are that us mere mortals won't get in as it's strictly invitation only. Information on the location is a closely guarded secret and security is so tight it makes Kim Kardashian's tube dresses look like loose-fitting Regency gowns... so it's unlikely you'll ever make it through the doors. Your best chance of getting in is by dressing up in a giant lobster costume and brazenly pretending to be Lady Gaga. The only hitch we can foresee is if the REAL Gaga turns up...
Fashion Week unofficial Afterparty
Disco, Sun Sep 14
LFW ticket holders get in free to Soho's Disco but anyone else can get in for just a tenner. The club takes inspiration from the heyday of Studio 54, so inside there's Seventies decor, including funky wallpaper, disco balls and rotary dial phones mounted on the walls, plus a Pan Am-inspired airport-style lounge area. It's time to boogie like it's 1975 baby!
13 Kingly Court (Beak Street entrance), W1B 5PW, disco-london.com
Chiltern Firehouse
Granted it will cost you your arm/leg/left eye brow, but scoring a table at celeb magnet Chiltern Firehouse this weekend is a sure fire way to increase your friendship group. Set to serve as a hotbed for everyone who's anyone (and not bored of it yet) in London this weekend, it's still the place to go to spot/stalk the likes of Cara, Kate and even Naomi Campbell, who've all been papped there in recent weeks. The only other hitch is it's a tough place to get into at short notice if you're not Rihanna. There's a three-month waiting list for dinner, so your best chance of sneaking in is by booking for breakfast and then hanging around until the late evening, when the lights dim and the DJs take to the decks.
1 Chiltern Street, W1U 7PA, chilternfirehouse.com
Lima Floral
This Peruvian restaurant is a mere stiletto's throw (or a two-minute cab ride) from the main LFW site. Sip a Pisco Sour and order some nifty nibbles at the 'piqueos' tapas-style bar and watch the great and the good of the fashion world trot through the doors.
14 Garrick Street, WC2E 9BJ, limalondon.com
This is one of LFW's recommended restaurants, so there'll doubtless be a few discerning fashion folk nibbling at the offerings here, but aside from providing a chance to watch models eat food (much like getting a glimpse of the baby tigers at London Zoo, it's a rare a fleeting occurrence), Barrafina is also a very nice restaurant. Expect dishes from executive chef Nieves Barragán Mohacho, like chargrilled milk-fed lamb's kidneys and Iberico ham on toasted bread with salmorejo (tomato and bread puree) with a touch of rosemary.
10 Adelaide Street, WC2N, Barrafina.co.uk
Oxford Street Fashion showcase
Oxford Street, Sep 12-19
Oxford Streets stores, including Oasis, Gap, Primark, John Lewis and Selfridges have teamed up to offer talks and giveaways during London Fashion Week. Once you're all shopped out, head to one of the local bars, many of which are offering discounts for those in the know. Check out the website for offers.
Oxford Street, oxstfashion.co.uk
The Shop
Somerset House, Sep 12-16
The official London Fashion Week shop, aptly titled The Shop, returns for another season. Situated in the courtyard of Somerset House and designed by the very clever Robert Storey, the pop-up will stock a host of modern day design classics including pieces by Maria Francesca Pepe and Coops London. Limited edition product by Stephen Jones for Wedgwood will also be available. Talk about high tea.
Somerset House, Strand, WC2R 1LA, londonfashionweek.co.uk
Red Cross Shop
Buckingham Palace Road, Sat Sep 13
For a thrift shopping experience with a difference, head to the Red Cross Shop on Buckingham Palace Road on Saturday to see ethical stylist Emma Slade Edmondson recreate a host of catwalk looks as they appear on the catwalk using items available in the Red Cross Shop. The event, from which outfits will later be auctioned on Ebay, is part of a joint mission to show that charity shopping can be both sustainable and on trend.
22-24 Buckingham Palace Road, SW1W 0QP, redcross.org.uk/en/About-us/News/2014/August/London-Fashion-Week
LFW photo booth
Somerset House, Sep 12-16
Head to the official London Fashion Week venue at Somerset House to have your picture snapped in the LFW photo booth. Open to the public (provided you don your finery), the booth allows fashion fans to print images and share them on Facebook.
Somerset House, Strand, WC2R 1LA, somersethouse.org.uk
Amex Insiders
Around London, Sep 12-16
Clad in printed kimono jackets from Osman, fashion's fairy godmothers will be flying around the capital carrying out lovely deeds for the style brigade. From booking restaurants – can they get you into the Chiltern? – to cobbling shoes. Nice work if you can get one.
LFW Talks
Somerset House, Sep 12-16
For an insight into the growing world of fashion tech head to Somerset House where a series of panel discussions with speakers including Neil Harbisson, the world's first cyborg artist and designers such as Stephen Webster MBE will take place. Supported by Knowledge Transfer Network and in conjunction with the GREAT campaign, the talks are open to the public. Perfect for geeks.
Somerset House, Strand, WC2R 1LA, londonfashionweek.co.uk/news_list
Dalston's new pop-up Bleach bar is flexing its fashion muscles this Sunday with a Fashion Pub Quiz hosted by East End based stylist Victoria Young. It sounds like a worthwhile night out for those who can tell their Margiela from their Marni. Its £3 to play – get there early to bag (geddit) a table. From 8pm.
428 Kingsland Road, E8 4AA, bleachlondon.co.uk
If all this fashion talk has got your creative juices flowing, why not try your hand at a bit of fashion DIY? This bijou craft shop on Broadway Market has fashion and textiles classes for beginners through to experts and from macro-knitting to turning second-hand clothes into objects of desire. Who knows, you could be the next Stella McCartney or Katherine Hamnett.
7 Broadway Market, E8 4PH, fabrications1.co.uk
King's Cross
With Louis Vuitton, TFL (what? The Tube is glamorous?) and now Topshop's official London Fashion Week venue in residence at King's Cross, it's the perfect weekend spot for style moochers. Enjoy a late brunch at Grain Store on Granary Square then try to spot Kate and Anna and head to the Topshop show on Sunday afternoon.
The Strand
The lovely people at Annin arts have teamed up with TFL to bring the work of surrealist photographer David LaChapelle to the streets of London. Keep your head held high while strolling down The Strand in order to spot the public exhibition taking place on top of bus stop shelters.
High Holborn Waitrose
The Bob, also known as Anna Wintour, is expected in town from Saturday. Spot her on the live stream of Hunter's catwalk show on Saturday or lingering outside Lidl on Sunday. Jokes. Anna's obviously a Waitrose girl. La Wintour is also expected to attend a host of shows on Monday before heading for Milan.
If your craving for style-based activity still isn't satisfied by the end of London Fashion Week there's always Vogue's Fashion's Night Out (vogue.co.uk/special-events/fashions-night-out, Tuesday September 23) and the London Fashion Weekend (londonfashionweekend.co.uk, September 18-21) to look forward to. At the London Fashion Weekend you can take part in loads of free fashion events, like catwalk shows, masterclasses from industry experts and product launches while Fashion's Night Out sees the late-night opening of stores across Regent Street and Oxford Street, where there'll be live music gigs and DJs based in the stores and 'style spotters' roaming the streets — and there are plenty of freebies, discounts and giveaways at both events too.Reuse content

The workplace bullying reforms — the big challenge for 2014 - .PDF file.
By Harriet Eager
There have been a number of developments on the workplace bullying reforms since Minter Ellison's May Higher Education Focus, which detailed the reforms and practical tips to meet the challenges they present.
The bullying reforms are twofold: from a WHS perspective — the Bullying Code of Practice and Worker's Guide for harmonised regimes; and from an employment law perspective — commencing on 1 January 2014, the new right for 'workers' (in the WHS sense of the word) to make a bullying complaint to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) (FW Act).
The new coalition government has indicated that it supports 'in principle' the new right of action in the Fair Work Act, but may seek two changes: requiring workers to seek 'preliminary help, advice or assistance from an independent regulator' before making a bullying complaint in the FWC; and providing for employers, managers and workers to make complaints to the FWC about bullying by union officials…

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

This website is for you. Learn, get excited, roll up your sleeves, go outdoors and start building a healthier relationship with your abundant and magical planet!… Call us if you want some help. We take great pride in our aspects of our work and provide unmatched land planning and service.

Sara Evans Song 'Put My Heart Down' Sends Message to Ex
Sara Evans' new song "Put My Heart Down" sends a clear picture to her ex, to just move on. While most break up songs are slow and lingering, Sara's 'Put My Heart Down' is uptempo and somewhat cheerful sounding. I believe she's had enough pain, now she's ready to move on.

I stayed here for four months and loved every minute. The apartment is centrally located and within a vibrant neighbourhood full of trendy restaurants, cafes and bars. The location was perfect for the Las Fallas festival as it was half a block from the most interesting attractions but was quiet enough to sleep at night. The park is also nearby.

Really good place to go with family and friends and Really nice pizza and service. The price is just right.
You can order off the menu - however the best option is the "all you can eat" option. Servers just keep coming by with different pizzas until you stay stop. They also have a nice variety of sweet dessert pizzas. Not the very best pizza I have ever had but very good and really nice taste varieties.
This is a pizza place with a food that is good but nothing out of the ordinary. The real deal here is that the place is huge and beautiful so it's a nice spot to gather friends for a birthday party, for instance. They have this pizza rotation service at night that is cost-effective. Their pizza is simple but good...
If you are in Belo Horizonte and would like eating pizza, this is the best place to go. You will find more than 30 different types of pizza. And there is a different service there, called "rodizio" that you can eat as many pizzas as you can and you only pay for this "rodizio". The service is quick and you...
This is a good pizza place although I know there are many, many better pizza's in Belo Horizonte. Also, the price for the unlimited pizza is pretty good and makes it one of the best cost-benefit pizza place (if not the best).
The location is good, but parking is usually a problem. The pizza is a bit small if you...
It´s basically a pizza place, but you have other very good options, such as meat and chiken. You may order your own pizza (small or large) or you may eat as much as you want. It´s not really cheap, but I found prices fair enough.
This is an "All you can eat" Pizza Restaurant. They offer other italian cuisine plates. The "All you can eat" is the best choice. Their Pizzas are tasteful and varied. Salted and Sweet pizzas. Deserve a visit.
Huge restaurant,nice pizza ,great variety ,friendly service,very good price!Happy place
I've been promised that restaurant since we started planning our trip. And you know how it is when you talk about it for a long time... your expectations are just too high to reach...
Well not this time! I just wished I had a second stomach! Before that restaurant I liked pizzas... now I LOVE them!
Here's a quick list...
If you like to taste different pizza flavours that's the place! I've payed R$ 25,00 for the buffet (drinks apart). They do have sweet pizza! Great place to go with friends, or with a girlfriend/wife!

A Government drive to bolster the NHS by recruiting senior doctors from overseas is in disarray after foreign specialists turned up their noses at the jobs on offer.
Two schemes aimed at recruiting 1,000 foreign specialists to help run the service have so far lured just 45 doctors into the NHS. But applications from foreign junior doctors to take the registration exam, known as the PLAB test, which allows them to practice in Britain have risen 75 per cent in a year, from 4,600 to over 8,000.
Professor Sir Graeme Catto, president of the General Medical Council which monitors standards of overseas doctors and runs the PLAB test, said: "We have had a few hundred applications from senior doctors and we have been inundated with applications from the training grades. Word has got out that the UK is desperate for doctors and anyone can get a job. They are just the sort we don't want."
Sir Graeme said the US was short of doctors and Canada was about to start recruiting abroad. Sweden, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand are also said to be short of doctors. "We are going to have the ludicrous situation where we are all setting up our stall in the back streets of Calcutta," he said.
The shortage of home-grown doctors was highlighted yesterday in the annual census of consultants carried out by the Royal College of Physicians, which showed a sharp slowing in the growth rate from 6.1 per cent a year between 1993 and 2000 to 3.2 per cent in 2000-01. Cuts in working hours under the European working time directive will put further pressure on the service and more than a third of consultants plan to retire in the next 10 years.
Dr Rodney Burnham, the college's director of medical workforce, said: "The problems underlying consultant staffing are causing great problems and are likely to do so for many years. They cannot be solved merely by the injection of new funds."
Last year the Department of Health announced that it had hired Sir Magdi Yacoub, the globe-trotting heart surgeon, to spearhead its overseas recruitment campaign.
Sir Magdi headed an international fellowship scheme intended to attract senior doctors to the UK, with a target of 450 specialists in post in three years. But the scheme has so far brought in 26 senior doctors. None of them is a heart and lung surgeon like Sir Magdi, which was one of the specialties targeted.
Many applicants were not of the quality needed and others turned jobs down once they saw the terms and conditions. A health department source said: "We had difficulty closing the deals."
A separate global scheme which involved an advertising campaign in 11 Western countries has also yielded disappointing results.
About 5,000 doctors expressed interest in working for the NHS, and 665 firm applications were made, but only 19 doctors are in post, all from Spain and Germany.
According to Hospital Doctor, which obtained the figures, only the Royal College of Psychiatrists judged the recruitment exercise a success. Seventeen of the 26 specialists recruited from overseas were psychiatrists.Dan Ash, president of the Royal College of Radiologists, said: "Thousands expressed an interest, hundreds applied, tens were interviewed and single numbers were appointed."

clans of the bride and groom, weddings are one of the most frequent topics of conversation.
The économie unit is the household, whose nature and methods of function illustrate admirably certain very fundamental Zuni attitudes. The household is'a group of variable composition, consisting theoretically of a maternai family; that is, a woman and her husband, her daughters with their husbands and children. To this permanent population is added a fluctuating group of miscellaneous male relatives of the maternai line-the unmarried, widowed, divorced, and those rendered homeless by passing domestic storms. This group occupies a single house consisting of several connecting rooms. There is a single kitchen drawing upon a common storehouse. The bousehold owns certain cultivated fields which can not be alienated. In addition, the various male members individually own certain fieldsgenerally fields recently brought under cultivation-which remain their own after they have severed connection with the household. However, ail fields, whether collectively or individually owned, are cultivated by the cooperative labor of the entire male population of the household. The products go into thé common storeroom to become thé collective property of the women of the household. The women draw on thé common stores for daily food and trade thé surplus for other commodities. Sheep are owned individually by men but are herded cooperatively by groups of male kindred. When the profits of the shearing are divided a man is expected out of these to provide clothing for himself, his wife and children, including children by previous marriages, and his mother and unmarried sisters, in case they are not otherwise provided for.
Personal relations within the household are characterized by the same lack of individual authority and responsibility that marks the économie arrangements. The household has no authoritative head to enforce any kind of discipline. There is no final arbiter in disputes no open conflict. Ordinarily thé female contingent of blood relatives presents a united front. A man finding himself out of harmony with the group may withdraw quietly whenever he chooses and ally himself with another group. With his departure obligations cease, and his successor fathers his children. Diffusion of authority and responsibility is especially marked in the treatment of children. The tribe is divided into 13 matrilineal exogamous clans, varying greatly in size from the Yellowwood, consisting of two male members, and which will therefore become extinct with the present generation, to the large so-called Dogwood (PFtcikwe) clan, which comprises several hundreds of individuals. The kinship system follows, in the main, the Crow multiple clan system, ail members of one's own clan being designated by classificatory terms. There are different terms for classificatory relatives of the father's clan. Adoption is frequent,

Do startups and small businesses really need a CTO?
Many people have heard of a virtual CFO, but a virtual CTO is a more novel concept.
However, the idea of getting technical advice only when you need it seems an elegant solution for lean startups who don't have the money to compete in a cutthroat jobs market.
What does the digital agency of the future look like?
Just about every organisation, from the board down, is now talking about the importance of customer experience, breaking down silos and aligning data across the company.
In essence this is to keep up with rising consumer expectations – consumers expect to be treated as individuals, and remembered, before engaging with brands.

The week in digital (in five minutes)
It's your weekly digital roundup.
Everything you need to sound like you know what you're doing.
Could Brexit be the biggest threat to London's digital sector?
The recent Mayoral Tech Manifesto sets out proposals to continue London's development as a digital city, and has highlighted a talent shortage as its number one concern.
Though current immigration regulation is less of a concern for those businesses surveyed, the manifesto doesn't directly tackle the issue of the UK's possible exit from the EU (a central government affair).
Has the Brexit debate as yet ignored the ramifications for tech, an increasingly important industry in the capital?
Is lack of strategy really killing conversion rate optimisation?
Do you know any conversion rate optimisation nuts? It's likely you do, and that in itself is strange.
Why should improving the efficiency of your marketing online be an acquired taste, like rugby league or larping?
One of the alarming findings of Econsultancy's Conversion Rate Optimisation Report (in association with RedEye) is a continued strategy vacuum.

Can Bose create a pitch-perfect content experience?
Despite creating fantastic products and winning several Red Dot design awards in the process, BOSE isn't often seen as a cool company.

Despite this slight lack of street cred, Bose remains one of the strongest brands in audio, so I thought I'd check out its content to see how it fares against the competition...
Seven big industries Google could disrupt
Google is making many companies nervous. Anything bought online that involves the collection of information naturally falls into Google's path.

CES 2014 product launch roundup: Yahoo, wearables, Dual OS
The Consumer Electronics Show is big business. It runs in January each year, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, one of the sprawling venues for which Google provides Indoor Maps.
If you've never heard of CES, it's where tons of new tech is debuted, from new tablets to robotics, new games to 3D printing.
Incidentally, CES has an interesting history that goes back to 1967. It was the place that technology such as the VCR first saw the light of day.
In the '90s, CES used to coincide with the AVN Adult Video awards; you must read a wonderful essay by David Foster Wallace, with lots of fascinating insight into both shows (the most popular venue at CES for a number of years was the Adult Software exhibition, but thankfully things have moved on since then, tech is even bigger business and attracts less of these crazy sideshows).
Anyway, I digress; let's have a rundown of CES 2014 interesting product launches so far that might just affect the world of digital and marketing.
Reinventing, or perhaps just finessing, retail for 2014
What do customers want in a multichannel experience and how will technology help deliver it in 2014?
Customers don't always know what it is they want, but by looking at current habits, themes will undoubtedly emerge.

I really don't know what to unlock.
I like Scorpions damage, but I can get like 4 kills with one clip using the PDW, the mag carries like 12-15 kills. The MP7 I can get when I first start so won't use it with that.
I use SMGs more than AR. Plus the mags are just too small. I don't get enough for me to use it unless the map is large and I need target finder + precision. The Scar works for that, so does type 25. Haven't tried the one that you get once you hit 55 though..
As for perks. I like to use flackjacket, hardline, dexterity, and toughness.
I'm not familiar with Ghost yet, only used that perk when when I'm level 1-4(before being able to customize my class.) The pre designed classes I go with operative.
I don't know if it's the scorpion, ghost, or scavenger within that class, but what ever it is that class works great with me. I'm going to try it out with the PDW, and if I get the same results then it has to be Ghost that's giving me such great results.

I wish you had proof read your post first. But to answer your question I would suggest CACTI for a web based interface, The Dude for an application based interface. You might need to get a mib file for the device from Juniper to monitor everything. Another option depending on the monitoring you want done is you could try Nagios.

Ziegler spaghetti dinner/silent auction benefit planned
Spaghetti dinner/silent auction benefit planned for Ziegler family
There will be a benefit for the James and Sheena (Meyer) Ziegler family at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Eagles Club in Brainerd.
In late October, Sheena and James found out their family of three would be growing with the addition of identical twin boys, Landon and Lucas. Unfortunately, one of the boys has a condition called Vasa Previa, which has a high mortality rate. Because of this, Sheena was hospitalized at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis. Ultrasounds confirmed that Landon's right upper extremities end abruptly at the wrist. This means there is no right hand with the possibility of complications on the left. At this point there is no way to tell of any other complications that may arise for Landon or Lucas.
To help the family with current and unlimited future expenses, this benefit is planned. The dinner will begin at 6 p.m.
Items listed for the silent auction include Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza tickets; Show and Go passes at BIR, two-night stay at The Lodge in Brainerd; one night whirlpool suite at Crossings Inn & Suites, Brainerd; restaurant gift certificates; and a gift certificate to Lakes Fun Rentals on Gull.

Odd FeelingMature
Chapter Two: Odd Feeling
Tayla Caplin
I woke to the sound of my alarm clock tinkling away in one of the soft melodies I'd set; it was supposed to wake you more slowly so you weren't as tired throughout the day. I sat up, letting the duvet fall back onto itself. With a stretch, I got up.
I turned the alarm clock off, jogging it by accident, causing it to move an inch or two. I frowned and moved it back into place before smiling and standing up straight, looking around my ordered room.
Pushing the curtains apart carefully, I looked out of my window down to the ground, which was a couple of floors below our flat. I could hear Amber tripping around all over the place in the room next door, making me scowl. I'd tidied her room yesterday and it was clearly a tip already. I took a deep breath, trying not to get angry. Anger wasn't good for karma.
I moved over to my dresser and lit the incense sticks, blowing them out and letting them smoulder. I stood in front of the mirror built into one of the doors of my wardrobe and combed my hair slowly. The dirty blonde locks only came to my chin, just as I liked them. After it was brushed, I messed it up a bit, going for that choppy look that I just adored.
It worked, as it usually did, making me smile. I placed the comb down on the dresser again, making sure it was in line with my brush and mini straighteners. I picked up the small bottle of oil and rubbed some into my round scars across my forehead and cheeks. The oil was meant to get rid of scars but it didn't seem to be doing anything, not at all within the last six months of using it. Despite that, I kept going with it, sure it would pay off eventually.
I used the mirror to look at my timetable, which I'd written in my neat handwriting on the whiteboard above my bed. I didn't have a very busy day, just a lecture in the late afternoon. I grinned; I loved my lectures. I'd managed to get a course doing exactly what I'd always wanted to do: classics.
Latin was the best thing I'd ever been taught in school, and then I'd picked up Ancient Greek in my second year as an extracurricular thing.
I breathed in, loving the scent of the sandalwood incense that was now permeating the air in the room. I smiled before leaving the room.
As I reached the kitchen, I remembered that our dress-up Halloween party wasn't long away. The others hadn't seemed too impressed at my idea, but they'd agreed to it--probably because I promised to bring ice cream and pizza.
I'd got my costume weeks ago, and I loved it. It was a female demon costume, including a red wig and I'd even bought some red contact lenses to go with it.
"Morning," Amber mumbled as she walked in, her pyjamas crumpled and creased from sleep.
"Good morning," I grinned. "I could iron those for you," I said, nodding to her pyjamas.
"If I wanted them ironed, Tayla, I'd do it myself."
I shrugged, trying not to be fronted by her tone. I smiled at her.
"Please," she nodded.
I turned around and added some more bread to the other side of the toaster.
After it popped and I'd buttered it, I handed Amber hers before eating mine. I somehow had a feeling today wasn't going to be exactly a normal day.

Bang on the door wakes her up.
An obnoxious bang on the door suddenly scares Nozomi and she trembles and wets her diaper. You try to comfort her, "It's okay baby girl, I'll protect you and change you after I see who's hear. You get up and walk to the door while carrying her. You open the door to find the pixie known as Talathia at the door. She kicks you in the shin coming inside which hurts quite a bit; but not enough to budge you. What do you do next?

Why Did I Drink That? Irish Moss Peanut Drink
Although I'm not into alcoholic beverages, I will drink just about anything that doesn't contain alcohol at least once. If it doesn't sound too gross nor cost much nor pose an immediate threat to my health, at least.
While shopping at a bodega a block away from my apartment in search of Horlicks (they had it), I spotted a dusty can of Jamaican Irish Moss Peanut Drink. Never before had I consumed a beverage containing peanut butter and a seaweed-based gelling agent. Potentially tasty? Maybe. But it would only take a small investment to find out.
It poured out unsettlingly slowly, a bit thicker than crème anglaise. Not that I have anything against crème anglaise—I love it—it's just not something I would pour into a cup and drink. First thought: This is obviously not a thirst quencher. Second thought (mid-sip): Jesus christ, this is like drinking pudding. Like peanuty, not very sweet pudding. The substance appeared to be midway to something else—custard, sauce, bonding agent. What's it doing in a can?
I wouldn't say the drink is particularly bad. Or good. Or fulfills any craving for peanut, sweetness, or liquid. Maybe it would taste better as a hot, stomach-coating drink, like atol del elote. Or maybe it's unsalvageable. Does anyone out there have love for the gloopy peanut pseudo-liquid?
[I'm aware of Irish Moss's reputation as an aphrodisiac. Coupled with the name "Big Bamboo," this drink is a bit suggestive. But I'm almost 500% sure that it does nothing.]

Do you have a death wish, 'Boppy?

You guys do drink egg nog around christmas time out of cups, isn't its consistency remotely similar to that of this peanut drink?
Posted by: frenchie at February 27, 2009 6:10 PM [#]
Annie: Yup, yet I keep living!
Graeme: I shook it, but I'm not sure that did anything.
And I think I will ignore the orifices.
frenchie: This is way thicker than egg nog. Or rather, a different kind of thick. Egg nog reminds me more of a milkshake, which I wouldn't compare to pudding. But this was...puddingesque. ...I need a larger vocabulary to properly describe these things.
Kirby: You're right, WHAT A FOOL I HAVE BEEN!
Grommie: Coconut oil put you off? Most of the other ingredients would've put me off first I think, haha. I like coconut oil, not that I eat it very much. And yeah, Irish moss is not a great name for something in a drink.
To be fair, I would have drunk it. My friends tell me I am far too fearless when it comes to trying foods. I think it's a good thing (especially for a food blogger). Was the flavour roast-y? Or peanut butter-ish? It looks a bit like Baileys/other Irish cream in that glass.
Posted by: SuperChomp at March 2, 2009 7:31 PM [#]
You tried that weird aloe drink sold in a lot of convenience stores? There's even a light version now. I need to man up and just drink one.
Posted by: piccola at March 2, 2009 8:54 PM [#]
SuperChomp: It wasn't roasty! Not even that peanut butter-ish. Kinda weak. Hm. I'll try whatever if it's not a bug, I think.
piccola: I've definitely had aloe drinks before, assuming there aren't that many of em. There's a light version? I didn't know it needed a light version!
There's a non-Irish moss version we had in Trinidad called "peanut punch"; it's much better! Less mucilage and more like a very thin peanut milkshake.

I love vanilla-flavored Jamaican Irish Moss drink. It does a *wonderful* job of relieving an upset stomach and soothing a sore throat - I guess since it's a thick starchy stuff.
Basil Seed Drink is also good for sore throats, but isn't much of a stomach remedy. It tastes quite a bit better than Irish Moss. I agree with you that Irish Moss is like drinking thin pudding. lol
I've not seen any peanut flavour at any stores in Nashville. The one odd peanut-related drink I've seen is made in Taiwan and called "Milk Drink" (I don't have a can handy to see what brand it is.) It's basically boiled green peanuts and sweetened milk. Very odd, but still good. Not something I'd drink every day though!!
Since you mentioned blancmange, I have an urge to go down the road to the little Mexican market and buy some of the home-made Flan they serve at lunchtime. Yea, not the same, but close enough.
Posted by: Tom at May 6, 2009 12:49 PM [#]
This stuff grows on you. I tried it once a few months ago, and thought it was mediocre, but I found myself drawn back for more. It didn't really get good, though, until I realized that you can mix it (at about a 1-1 ratio) with rum, and it still won't affect the taste. :)
Posted by: me at September 9, 2009 7:51 AM [#]
Irish Moss is extremely good for you way too many good things to list here look it up!
Posted by: Edward at February 27, 2011 12:24 PM [#]
My, I am glad that you gave it a chance. Most people wont do that. As a Jamaican I might be a bit biased but dont take my word for it just google seamoss and see the nutrient content of this drink (sans the rum and sugar). I just made a large pitcher full and I am in heaven. One of the main ingredient is "linseed" AKA flax seed wow. its basical nothing new just with a different twist...add some rum, gin etc and bring it up a notch. BTW processed foods in can are not usually the best choice when tasing something new, stick to homemade.
Posted by: yardie at March 8, 2011 12:05 PM [#]
I have tasted the canned Irish Moss and I think it is disgusting. I doesn't compare to the home made stuff. It doesn't look appealing when it is being prepared though it actually looks like snot
Posted by: CheerfuL Cynic at August 19, 2011 6:22 PM [#]
I absolutely loved this drink. My girlfriend and I think it's delicious. Neither of us noticed any aphrodisiac effects, but neither of us knew that this drink claimed to have one.
Posted by: AdamT at September 15, 2011 4:00 PM [#]
Grappling with the details of so many different individual policies can lead to a strong urge to pick the next one that sounds halfway reasonable. But halfway isn't good enough.
Posted by: reverse cell at January 9, 2012 1:38 AM [#]
i'm jamaican
i hate the way this tastes!
but i know an amazing amount of men who drink this..for obvious reasons ;)
Posted by: dani at April 16, 2012 5:42 PM [#]
I tried this beverage, in vanilla, I think, rather than peanut --ABSOLUTELY DIVINE! Like liquid custard. Think of it as dessert you can drink. I don't buy it routinely because I don't like to drink my calories, so, more of a treat for me, like on my b-day or something
Posted by: Sparkina at June 3, 2012 2:53 AM [#]
Well the taste something you either like or dislike, But it was worth trying,And after i finished it My crazy Cat Decided it would lick what was left in the cup, she seemed to like it better than i did so it must be OK for a cat to like it

WAMSI's $30 million Kimberley Marine Research Program (KMRP) is delivering the marine research needed to support the management of the marine environments of the Kimberley region, especially the proposed state government marine parks.
We have 160 scientists from 10 partner agencies working on 26 research projects along the 13,500km Kimberley coastline.
WAMSI has designed and managed this research program from its inception to result in the greatest possible likelihood of WA's public investment in marine science leading to successful knowledge transfer and impact to benefit researchers, stakeholders and ultimately WA's marine ecosystems and the communities and industries that depend upon them.
KMRP Strategy KMRP Science Plan
Dr Kelly Waples of WA's Department of Parks and Wildlife is the Science Coordinator of WAMSI's $30 million Kimberley Marine Research Program.
"The objective of the KMRP is to provide a baseline of information for future marine park and reserve management and coastal planning in the region," Dr Waples said. "To be successful, the research projects must be designed to deliver the information that's needed, and the results have to be provided in a form that is useful and usable for managers."
Each project has a science plan that has been approved by the main end-user – Parks and Wildlife – as well as the Minister for Science. Project objectives and outputs are built into legal contracts between WAMSI and the WAMSI partners completing the research, and linked to milestone payments. This helps keep projects on-track over time, focused on end-user needs.
Project science reviews by an independent panel (including representatives from Parks and Wildlife) helps ensure research quality and progress is maintained, and the department's Director of Science and Conservation has oversight of project scope and appropriateness of delivery.
Increasing end-user involvement and understanding during the life of the project not only improves the project, it also increases the chances that the results will be actually used, and the overall success of the research program.

By John Waggoner, USA TODAY
All you'd really like is to get out of the stock market when it's going down and jump back in when it's going up. Is that too much to ask?
Of course not, most academics would say. And a wee sprite on a unicorn will ride up to your desk and tell you when to trade.
But there's a large group of people who say that timing the market is no fairy tale. Some of them have piled up fairly impressive records. And, given the stock market's gyrations recently, they're attracting many new clients.
Should you give market timing a shot? Only if you're willing to pay the often-hefty fees that timers charge for their advice — and willing to take the additional risk that your timer's timing might be off.
Mark Hulbert, editor of the Hulbert Financial Digest, has been tracking timers and their claims for more than two decades. He's not surprised in the sudden popularity of market timing. "A year like this will make market timing incredibly popular," Hulbert says.
"Subscribership is up significantly," says Steven Hochberg, chief market analyst for the Elliott Wave Financial Forecast, which charges $59 a month for a basic subscription, plus hotline advice. "When you're right, people want to read you."
Market timers fall into two broad camps: technicians and fundamentalists. Technicians simply try to follow broad trends in the stock market. They use various technical indicators to determine whether the market's main trend is up or down. When the trend is up, they stay in the market; when it moves down, they get out.
A simple example is the moving average — a trailing average of stock prices or stock index levels. For example, when the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is above its moving average, you would be in stocks. When it falls below, you'd sell. Using that one indicator alone, you would have exited stocks in November 2007 — not at the exact S&P 500 low, but close enough to miss most of the bear market.
Many times technicians use far more complex systems, however. The Elliott Wave Theory, for example, is based on the notion that stock market psychology, like much else on the planet, moves in intricate cycles. These cycles, in turn, are linked to the Fibonacci series of numbers, which you get by adding one number to the following one: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13, and so on. (Dividing any Fibonacci number after 8 by the previous Fibonacci number always returns the Golden Ratio — 1.618 — which is frequently used in architecture and painting.)
Fundamentalists tend to look at broad economic indicators, such as interest rates, corporate earnings and valuation measures, to make their calls. Many use a combination of fundamental and technical indicators.
Are the stars aligned for stocks?
The nation's top timer last year, Arch Crawford, used technical analysis — and astrology. "Sometimes the astrology is very significant, and a lot of other times it's not," Crawford says. "I do have a very thorough grounding in technical analysis."
For the record, Crawford says that Saturn will oppose Uranus four times this year and next, beginning in early February. "That will prevent any major bullish move," he says.
Crawford's long-term record is less impressive, Hulbert says: He's lost an average 1% a year the past decade. But Crawford says that Hulbert doesn't include his long-term record, which includes a sell signal before the 1987 stock crash.
Hochberg, whose system follows the Elliott Wave Theory, also has been on target this year, rolling up a 19% gain, according to Hulbert. Hochberg thinks there will be some bear market rallies in 2009, but that 2010 will be awful. "We're still far, far above the ultimate low," he says.
Hulbert's returns for Hochberg's newsletter are based purely on its market-timing calls: There is no stock or fund picking involved. Hulbert assumes the portfolio is in a broad-based stock index when the newsletter is bullish, and in Treasury bills when the newsletter is bearish. The same is true for the returns from Crawford's newsletter.
Some timers, however, have model portfolios, which Hulbert also tracks. Doug Fabian's ETF Trader Portfolio, for example, gained 15.5% last year through exchange traded funds. But Hulbert says Fabian's 10-year record is a dismal -11% a year.
Are there timers with good long-term records? Sure. Stockmarket Cycles has gained 2.2% a year for the past decade, Hulbert says, which beats the broad market. A newsletter called the Yamamoto Forecast has gained an average 8.1% a year. (The only way to contact the newsletter is via the U.S. Post Office: P.O. Box 573, Kahului, HI 96733.)
Academics say there's little evidence that any market-timing system will work over the long term, and that any top-performing timer is simply a fluke. Your biggest danger with a timer: You'll get a set of bad calls that leave you selling low and buying high.
Unfortunately, people also tend to seek market-timing advice at the wrong time, Hulbert says. "Market timing tends to be most popular at market bottoms and least popular at tops, and that's the reverse of what it should be," he says.

Good price? General grabber at*2
some guy who recently threw a rod through his oil pan and is now selling 5 barely used 31x10.50R15 general grabber at*2 for $500, i was wondering if this was a good price and if i should try to haggle lower? also wondering if these are too big for my stock suspension and little 4 banger. ty
he also has front tow hooks how much should i offer him for those?
I think DiscountTire has new General Grabbers for about $155 each. Seems like a descent deal.
Whether they are on wheels or not it seems like a good deal, yes you will be fine on 31x10.5 with a 2.5.
Check the online tire stores for new prices to compare. tirerack, treaddepot, discount tires direct, etc.....
update: Got the tires $500 for 4 and free install plus shifter boot (mine was ripped)
they look 100x better than my old ones and it was time for new tires

The Iranian director Asghar Farhadi (who won an Oscar for A Separation) brings extraordinary powers of observation to this French-set drama about divorce and family betrayal. His style is pared down in the extreme. There is little music here and the camerawork is unobtrusive.
Instead, Farhadi's interest is in the looks and gestures of his protagonists as they struggle to understand each others' motivations and feelings.
The most poignant moments are of kids in doorways looking on in bafflement at the behaviour of their parents or the adults themselves gazing at one another, trying forlornly to work out why everything in their lives seems so unresolved and chaotic.
Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) is an Iranian man who has come back to France to finalise his divorce from Marie (Bérénice Bejo). She is now planning to marry Samir (Tahar Rahim) and is pregnant by him. To complicate matters further, Samir's own wife is in a coma, having tried to commit suicide for reasons that are only very slowly revealed.
Apart from an early scene of a family meal, there is very little joy or humour in The Past. The plotting skirts close to melodrama. Nonetheless, this is an exquisitely made film which probes away at the rawest, most intimate emotions of its characters with a delicacy and insight reminiscent of Krzysztof Kieslowski in his prime.Reuse content
