IPod interface kit and iPhone 5
I've had the BMW iPod interface kit installed in my e53 2006 3.0i a few years ago for $1150AUD (outrageous price!), but now, as is typical of Apple, the iPhone 5 comes with a new connection, smaller than all previous phones.
Anyone know if an adaptor lead exists, one that can convert the old connection to the new iPhone 5 connection, which means of course that if this is possible, I will be able to play music through an iPhone 5 when I get it with my mobile phone contact renewal in April?
I will be pissed off if I need to buy a new iPod interface kit from BMW, just so that it connects to iPhone 5!
The Apple old-to-new adapter is supposed to work but it's a bit expensive. Mixed feedback on the cheaper e-bay ones; some charge, some don't; some transfer audio, some don't; some transfer control, some don't.
It sounds typical of iPhone connectivity issues doesn't it? Thanks for the info. I want charge and I want music through the BMW kit, and hopefully some?expensive adaptor will give me that?

Bamboo Photo Landscape- Jan 6, 2011
This is a spectacular piece! It has been in transition for almost a year and was completed January 2011 using photographic images printed on canvas and mounted on aluminum. Our bamboo grove is not only a bird refuge, but also a source of inspiration, photographic possibilities and not to mention, bamboo.

Live webchat about FGM and violence against women with Lynne Featherstone, MP, minister at the Department for International Development, Thursday 20 June, 1pm-2pm.(110 Posts)
We'll be welcoming Lib Dem MP and International Development Minister Lynne Featherstone this Thursday from 1pm - 2pm for a LIVE webchat.
As Minister Lynne leads on the government's Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategy; the UK's international development programme in Africa; and on issues such as malaria, water and sanitation, polio and HIV. She is especially interested in your questions around the practice of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), also known as female circumcision. Lynne spearheaded a government announcement earlier this year on a five-year programme to help end FGM within a generation.
FGM is illegal in the UK, but it is estimated that up to 20,000 girls in the UK are at risk of suffering genital mutilation, and that more than 60,000 women have already been cut. With UK schools' summer holidays fast-approaching, the risk to thousands of girls living in the UK is at its highest, as many girls return to visit their extended families in Africa, where over 95% of all FGM takes place.
Join us this Thursday to find out more about UK's work to end FGM in Africa and beyond, and - if interested - listen in advance to a podcast of three activists working to end FGM within Africa and the UK. You can also find out more on FGM - what it is, its risks and practices - here.
The Minister will be interested in hearing your thoughts and questions on this, and more of course. Please do join us on the day or, as ever, post your question in advance below.
I was wondering, what happens if a girl knows she is going to be mutiliated or sent abroad for that reason? Is there anywhere she can go for help or to escape that situation?
If a girl in the UK is concerned that she (or a friend) is at risk of FGM or that someone may be taken overseas for FGM they should call the police 999. If someone is abroad and needs help or advice, they can call the Foreign & Commonwealth Office on +44 (0) 20 7008 1500.
There are also some extremely good organisations which can help like Daughters of Eve 07983 030488. Childline 0800 1111, www.childline.org. Or Equality Now (in Nairobi, Kenya, and London), tel (London): +44(0) 20-7973 1292, (Nairobi): +254 20 271 832, www.equality now.org.
Lynne, could I ask please about your reply to Bicnod:
Which governments, specifically?
And do you agree with her, as do I (regretfully IYSWIM) that a lot of local opposition will come from women, and so how will this actually be tackled?
The UN programme works in 15 countries in Africa, for example Somalia, Sudan, Kenya, Senegal and Ethiopia. There is a list online, which I can post to this thread later.
In terms of whether local woman disagree: there are issues around women's attitudes towards violence against women and it's been certainly shocking to find that there's a higher percentage of women who think it's okay for a man to abuse his wife than among men themselves in some countries. In terms of FGM itself, whilst women organise it and carry it out generally, it stems from the requirement to get a man for a husband and it's - in my view - a double-damage that women have come to carry this out on behalf of their communities.
There's a very strong women's movement in Africa to end FGM and they are the agents of change, which has now delivered, not only the UN General Assembly Resolution calling for a global ban, but also ensured that 25 African countries have now made it constitutionally illegal. Of course the law is not the end of this, but it's a very good start.
Hi Lynne, I am very glad that an effort is now being made to eradicate this barbaric abuse of women and girls.
I'm reading a very interesting book at the moment by Tahira S. Khan, A Historical Materialist Explanation of Honour Related Violence.
One of the points the book makes and that I fully endorse it that the material and economic basis of peoples lives drive culture and religion. Practice shapes ideology rather than ideas shaping practice.
Nawal El Saadawi www.nawalsaadawi.net/ says "The life of the people and their essential needs are dependent on economics and not on religion. Throughout human history the standards and values of religion have themselves been shaped by the economy. The oppression of women in any society is in its turn a statement of an economic structure built on land ownership, systems of inheritance and parenthood and the patriarchal family an an inbuilt social unit"
I have read a couple of the links and found the "business case" I would like to ask two things.
1) what sort of organisations will be invited to tender for the frontline work and research?
2) In view of the fact that economics shapes lives and ideology, women's oppression is tied to the means of production and ownership of resources, I feel that no ideological or cultural change can happen without changes to the economic base structure that underpins all social relations, creating vast inequalities of wealth and therefore social power. Will the vast sums of money being invested into this project, be used effectively to train, empower and support WOMEN in these communities to be agents of change.
Or is this another case of western cultural and economic imperialism forcing our own ideologies whilst still perpetuating the same inhumane patriarchal economic system of capitalism? A system that is actually at the root of women's oppression. Patriarchal private ownership of all resources from cotton and food to women's bodies is the starting point for any critical analysis and effort for change. There is always a tendency to focus on cultural norms, this is cart before horse and an attempt to eradicate proper analysis and ward off any criticism of our economic system.
Hi MinitheMinx
To take your 3rd question first...
We are absolutely clear that our work on FGM is about supporting an Africa-led movement. There is a lot of momentum now within Africa to end FGM, with communities deciding to stop, new laws and policies, leadership from first ladies and politicians. A resolution was passed at the United Nations General Assembly last December calling for a global ban this was led by the Africa Group at the UN. The UK's role is to support these efforts and to encourage others to do so.
Can we learn any lessons from the way foot binding was eradicated in China (in a relatively short time) in relation to FGM?
Yes. I often use this comparison in speeches i give about FGM because that is exactly the possibility that is held out - a very quick ending once this ball is really rolling.
2) In view of the fact that economics shapes lives and ideology, women's oppression is tied to the means of production and ownership of resources, I feel that no ideological or cultural change can happen without changes to the economic base structure that underpins all social relations, creating vast inequalities of wealth and therefore social power. Will the vast sums of money being invested into this project, be used effectively to train, empower and support WOMEN in these communities to be agents of change.
Yes this whole programme is part of the UK government's commitment to put girls and women at the heart of our development efforts, and we believe that supporting women and girls to have power to being about this change themselves is fundamental.
1) what sort of organisations will be invited to tender for the frontline work and research?
There are three parts to the programme. The first includes work on the ground with communities and work to support changes in laws and policies in different African counties. The second is about helping the change movement in communities and countries with good communications and information about FGM. We have just started a competitive tendering process for this. The final component is the research. There is still not a lot of good information about FGM and what is the best way of tackling it. We are still deciding on exactly how this part of the programme will work but we're planning to start a competitive tendering process later in the year.
Hi Lynne - thanks for answering one of my questions and for your reply to LineRunner.
Can I just follow up by asking for more on how local opposition from local women will be addressed? You say that whilst women organise it and carry it out generally, it stems from the requirement to get a man for a husband - so how will you begin to address this on the ground with local women? Women who want the best for their daughters and truly see FGM as the only way of getting that?
I know the law is a good place to start, but enforcing the law on this is going to be massively challenging if local women are not on board.
Also - please can you answer my third question about how long the UK government will remain committed (i.e. with funding) to this programme?
Hi Lynne
Not a question. Just wanted to say thanks for obviously taking the time to read and prepare responses for some of the questions on this thread before you came on. Either that or you are a damn fast reader and typist. I think you've already managed to answer more questions than yer mate Dave did in the entire hour he was on.
It's important also to remember that prosecution relies on an often young girl being willing to give evidence, often against her family, which can be very difficult particularly if pressure is put on her from her family or community.
That's disingenuous, though. The same used to be said about DV. There are myriad ways to recognise and gather evidence of a crime, and prosecute it. But you have to recognise it as a crime first, not just some kind of private complaint.
If a daughter who lives with me suddenly turned up at school with her genitals mutilated, I would expect to be prosecuted for at the very minimum neglect, even without a statement from her.
This question has been asked, but I wanted to ask it again: why has their never been a prosecution in this country for FGM? Not sure this is your remit, but is there anything you can do in this area?
Also, I believe more schools in this country need training on spotting the signs and then in dealing with it. Are there any plans in place for this?
Thanks to all those who've addressed this point.
It's one of the most frustrating things to not have had a successful prosecution. There's a lot of work going on in the Home Office. Some of it is awareness raising, such as guidelines for front-line workers (doctors, nurses, teachers, social workers). The Director of Public Prosecutions has published an action plan on how we might better get the evidence needed for prosecution. Clearly girls are either too young or unwilling to give evidence against their parents, for example; however, Jeremy Browne (who is a Home Office Minister) and myself are meeting with the MET Police lead on child abuse in the next two weeks, who has publicly stated himself that he is on a mission to relentlessly pursue FGM cases in London.
I think it really is important to get a prosecution to send out a really clear message. However we have upwards of 20,000 girls of risk each year and another part of the answer has to be behaviour change because we're never going to put 20,000 sets of parents in prison. We need prosecutions; we need behaviour change; and we need everyone out there to help us.
So if you think a girl is in danger, then please contact any of the organisations referred to in my earlier post (At 13:12)
Also - please can you answer my third question about how long the UK government will remain committed (i.e. with funding) to this programme?
We've committed to reduce FGM over five years by 30% in at least 10 countries. But this is the start-up. We expect to galvanise a world movement to join in this endeavour. We expect our programme to run for at least 10 years.
Yes, I support slug in saying that this is a really good and productive web chat with a politician.
I know it's hard to get a prosecution, and of course so many parents could never be prosecuted. [Though I am sure it would act as a deterrent]. I just wonder how other countries have managed to get prosecutions.
In France, the genitals of young girls in practicing diaspora groups are routinely checked for evidence of FGM as a prevention method.
In FGM discussions, I often hear people calling for similar measures in the UK.
However, I believe that this is a gross intrusion of privacy and is degrading and discriminatory. I also think that this would only serve as a means to push FGM practice further underground and perpetuate an 'us and them' dialogue.
While girls were in the right age group for the checks they would be safe from being subjected to FGM, however I believe this would simply encourage the practice to be postponed until the girl was old enough to refuse the checks.
I was wondering if you agreed with me, or if you feel that FGM checks are an effective and appropriate way to protect girls at risk of FGM? Do you think that this is a method the UK would employ, and if not how do you hope to protect girls at risk?
In France the girl babies are checked once a year to the age of 5/6 and genitally examined. Given that this is very specifically practiced by specific communities, it wouldn't seem the best approach or use of resources to examine our girls in that way.
The Public Health Minister came with me to an FGM clinic in London to talk to survivors and to look at ways of advice and intervention that would enable the community to both know more but also to suggest timely interventions where we could address particular issues.
Yes - I'll third that - LynneFeatherstone wining the politicians' battle of the webchats so far
Dear Ms Featherstone,
World Vision congratulate you on your commitment to tackling violence against women and girls, and particularly harmful practices like FGM/C and child marriage that are so rooted in gender inequality. It is great to read from your response to GirlsNotBrides that DFID recognise the link between child marriage and FGM/C.
With this approach in mind, will some of the funding that DFID have committed go towards tackling child marriage, alongside efforts to eradicate FGM/C?
It would be great to see a declaration of commitment from the UK Government to ending child marriage in a generation, as well as FGM/C. Is this something you would support?
*It's important also to remember that prosecution relies on an often young girl being willing to give evidence, often against her family, which can be very difficult particularly if pressure is put on her from her family or community.*
That's disingenuous, though. The same used to be said about DV. There are myriad ways to recognise and gather evidence of a crime, and prosecute it. But you have to recognise it as a crime first, not just some kind of private complaint.
If a daughter who lives with me suddenly turned up at school with her genitals mutilated, I would expect to be prosecuted for at the very minimum neglect, even without a statement from her.
This is child abuse and of course prosecution is absolutely vital, but the focus when i meet the Met Police's lead on child abuse, will be to understand how we can get a prosecution against cutters or doctors practicing this illegally in the first instance.
If in the example you give, the girl came to her teacher and said 'i have been mutilated', then i would expect a prosecution to follow as you say, regardless of any other circumstances.
Thank you Lynne,
Thinking about a point that was made by IntlPlannedParenthoodFed can I ask one more question?
As attitudes change towards this practice and the prevalence of FGM decreases, how can we be sure that women here and in other countries who have been cut are able to access health services without feeling they might be stigmatised? I ask because a recent documentary touched upon this, some women were having home births in the UK and declining medical help because they feared that hospitals/doctors would have a negative opinion & question them because they had been cut.
HI Lynne,
5:30 am here in Tucson, Arizona. Just held a meeting of key FGC players
in D.C. to discuss next steps. Whom do you first want to approach here in the USA about securing funds from our side? We might be able to help.
Hi Lynne,
We applaud DFID for the initiative to end FGM and for helping bring the harmful effects of this practice to attention.
As a global organization leading on sexual and reproductive health, IPPF has always had a fruitful partnership with DFID, coming together to deliver sexual and reproductive health services and advocate for sexual and reproductive health rights for the world's most marginalized and under-served communities.
It is the world's poorest women and girls who suffer as a result of denied access to sexual and reproductive health and rights. FGM is one terrible example of this.
IPPF has been working in the Seguela district in Cote d'Ivoire where the prevalence of FGM is a staggering 88%. The overall aim of the project was to reduce the prevalence of FGM in the district, with an emphasis on changing attitudes at the community level. Key achievements of IPPF's addressing FGM project were:
- 202,000 people attended awareness raising activities around the abandonment of FGM, health implications of FGM, the law against FGM and forced marriage
- 4 arrests made
- 17 ex-practitioners agreed to abandon the practice of FGM
We know that FGM has a negative lifetime impact on women who have been cut. IPPF asks:
* How will the initiative ensure that, there is no additional stigma or discrimination against women who have had this procedure practiced on them?
* What are DFID's actions to strengthen health system responses for survivors?
* What role does DFID see men & boys playing in changing social norms and ending FGM?
The work DFID is doing is in the developing world - and yes boys and men are absolutely crucial to the work going on there. I went to Senegal to visit the work of one organisation called Tostan, who have a two and a half year programme with a community. At the end of that period, if the community decides - and that's having done nearly three years' work all-inclusive of the religious leaders, the men, the boys, the women, and the children - to abandon FGM, then have a public declaration of abandonment (a bit like swearing an oath), it is delivered. Without the whole community, that would never be possible.
(a) Britain has taken a lead on working to secure a global end to FGM. However, there still isn?t accurate data on the number of women and girls affected by FGM in the UK. What plans does the Government have in place to gather data on the occurrence of FGM?
(b) Girls and women affected by FGM require specialised health and support services. What is the UK Government doing to ensure that support for girls and women who have undergone or are affected by FGM is readily available, and easily accessible?
Rukayah Sarumi
Campaigns and Advocacy Manager
FORWARD (UK's lead organisation tackling FGM)
This in referring to your first question re. data. That is an issue I've discussed with Jeremy Browne (the Home Office minister responsible) and they're currently looking into how this can best be achieved.
HI Lynne,
5:30 am here in Tucson, Arizona. Just held a meeting of key FGC players
in D.C. to discuss next steps. Whom do you first want to approach here in the USA about securing funds from our side? We might be able to help.
Great to hear that Tucson is on it! We're already in contact with USAID and I've spoken to Bill Gates myself on this issue, but more help always welcome. PM Mumsnet you contact details and I'll be in touch.
Thank you for answering my questions so frankly.
What do you need from us to help secure future funding?
And just, thank you. (An often thankless task being a politician, I can imagine.)
I have too many small children bouncing all over me to add follow up comments - but am following as best I can.
MNHQ - more web chats like this please, less of the Holly/ Kelly promotion stuff from what I gathered of that.

Gone Too Soon: 10 TV Shows That Should Never Have Been Cancelled
Category: Everything Else
2 Comments
Making good television is tricky business and networks have to make important decisions as to where to place television shows based on who the audience is and what will keep their interest. It is no exact science and sometimes highly entertaining material gets cancelled simply because of business. Here are some of the more unfortunate cancellations:
- Firefly
- Freaks and Geeks
- Eastwick
- Aliens in America
- Dead Like Me
- Veronica Mars
- Kings
- Reaper
- Undeclared
- Futurama
When you ask about television shows cancelled ahead of time this will always be the first to pop up in internet conversation. The fans of this show have made a continued effort to support the show since Fox cancelled it in 2002 and a movie spin-off was made just for their benefit (Serenity).
Why Judd Apatow's Freaks and Geeks ever got cancelled is a mystery. Broadcasted on NBC and then syndicated on Fox Family, the 1999-2000 television show is now a cult favourite.
Airing from 2009-2010, this sexy Urban Fantasy was fun. However, poor placement (late on ABC's Comedy Wednesday) as well as poor promotion led to early cancellation in a television season full of other such cancellations.
This CW television show was a comedic lesson in cross-cultural understanding, especially in the post-9/11 America. It was a show the told us that awkward teenagers existed in every culture.
After running for two seasons in 2003 and 2004, this Showtime series was cancelled. The quirky and playful approach to life and death was both artful and hilarious. Starting off on rocky ground already, the creator left the project early on claiming that an air of unprofessionalism pervaded the process. After its cancellation there came a movie in 2009, however the film went straight to DVD.
Veronica Mars ran from 2004 to 2007 after being transferred to the killer of dreams, The CW. As is common with cult TV shows, there is the promise of a film that help to solve some of the overarching mysteries of the Teen Detective series. All the same if the trends show anything, it is that the movie probably won't do more than help to cement the death of the entire series.
This series was a clever and epic story that imagined America as a monarchy. In it, mysticism and absolute rule framed the world of power plays. However, having failed to find a sufficient audience, NBC eventually cancelled the show.
Reaper was fantastic, it was clever, well-written (by Kevin Smith), the devil was awesome – why did this show get cancelled?! It had the sort of staying power that Charmed and Angel had as a fun Urban Fantasy series. Unfortunately it never got to have a third season and the negotiations to pass it from The CW to another network failed.
Yet another brilliant series by Judd Apatow, this series also ended after one season. Apatow explained that is was difficult to portray college life in its reality on network television and thus most college shows never really got the chance to get off the ground. 16 episodes were shown on Fox to poor ratings and the show was eventually cancelled in 2002.
Futurama, though now back on air, was cancelled by FOX. Running from 1999 to 2003 on FOX before ceasing production and going over to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim in rerun format, it was later revived in four straight-to-DVD films. Now Comedy Central has syndicated the show and new episodes for its seventh season are set to air in 2012, which is a good decision as it is currently the most critically acclaimed cartoon (literally). We love a happy ending!
Still, with such lists everyone will miss something different, be it Kyle XY, Pushing Daisies, Prison Break, Journeyman, Moonlight, Wonderfalls or Twin Peaks. What show do you wish never got cancelled so soon? Leave a comment!

Cupid works magic as poll shows more happy couples than singles
By Marina Lopes
NEW YORK (Reuters) - With Valentine's Day fast approaching, an international poll released on Wednesday showed that more people feel happy and financially secure if they are in a relationship than being single.
Nearly 80 percent of more than 18,000 adults questioned in an online Ipsos poll in 15 countries who were part of a couple said they were happy, compared with 67 percent of singles.
Canadian couples were the most content at 90 percent, compared with 53 percent of Hungarians, according to the survey by the independent market research firm.
"Based on our research, people in relationships say they're happier," said Janis Gilman, global marketing director for Ipsos.
But she added that the survey grouped singles with divorcees and widows, which are "all factors that play a negative role in one's happiness and financial security."
In Japan, 53 percent of singles said they were happy, compared with 77 percent of people in a relationship.
In the United States, 74 percent of singles said they were happy, compared with 89 percent of people in a relationship.
Couples were least happy in Hungary and Spain at around 50 percent. Argentine singles and couples tied, with 65 percent in both groups saying they were happy. Continued...

Vee Hoffman, thrift store fashion enthusiast and unapologetic crazy cat lady, has been creating fictional worlds since her teens. She has lovingly honed her unique style of character study over ten years of writing in the online community, learning (eagerly, and sometimes embarrassingly) from the school of slash fanfiction in the early Internet Age. Putting those lessons to work, she debuts with "Acclamation," part one of a four part series, at age 31.
A sometime music journalist, she indulges her critical side with the occasional
vlog or guest article on Japanese pop music, hoping the day will come when someone actually asks for her opinion on AKB48. When not writing, Vee can usually be found browsing Tumblr at 3:00AM, getting emotional over posts about Doctor Who with red wine in hand.
Review by:
Shirley Frances
on May 09, 2013 :
So there I was trying to get my M/M Romance groove back when I remembered I had a little treasure saved up on my library.
My goodness, what a way to get back into the genre!
I sooooo want to hug Vee Hoffman for giving me insight into Dominic's thoughts and feelings. If I had anything to complain about the previous books (and even then I didn't) it would have been the fact that I still had not had the chance to know firsthand how Dominic was dealing with his relationship with Michael.
Vee outdid herself with this snippet into Dominic and Michael's weekend. She brought an overwhelming range of emotions to the page that helped me to fully understand how deep the connection between these two is and how Dominic has grown into a matured, young man. Through his thoughts, I could see that he is open in exploring everything that his relationship with Michael entails. I saw how loyal he is to him and that his emotions run deeper that just a school boy's crush on his teacher. Yes, I had assumed this was the case, but it is so much better to be certain! I loved it. I could feel Dominic's need for Michael - his passion, his love. But most of all I got to see Michael through Dominic's eyes.
Sublimation was everything I wanted and then some! With only 38 pages Vee Hoffman has ratcheted up my need for more Dominic and Micheal. As I said before, I am emotionally invested in this couple and this short story just added to my obsession need to see them achieve their happily ever after.

A male dog try to tie on my 10 month puppy but in less than a minute a went and stop it. Can be pregnant?
Today I took my puppy(10 month) for a walk to the park. A male dog try to tie on her but in less than a minute a went and stop him. The problem is that for less than 5 minutes she was playing with other dogs in an area I could watch her. As soon as I put her in the car, I noticed a blood spot on the clothe she was sitting and a strange smell like blood period. No other sign before or after that fact appeared. I am not sure If she was in a heat and I didn' t realise it. And I am really worried, if there is a chance to become pregnant. Although she is 10 months and she lives in a flat all the day, I haven't noticed to be in a heat yet.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
If a dog has tied with her then there is every possibility she will become pregnant. At 10 months old she is FAR to young to have puppies so your best bet is to have her checked over at the vet and ask for his advice from there. I think there is an injection that can be given to bitches called a mismate jab that might be a good idea in your situation, but your vet can give you all the help and advice you need.
Do NOT allow your dog out of your sight while she is in heat and do NOT allow her to interact with other dogs from now. I used to wait 6 weeks in total before allowing Missy to interact with other dogs to be on the safe side. Walks were around the block, late at night, no off lead time and she was supervised in the garden too, even with 6ft fencing surrounding it.

art knits | Design by CHRISTEL SEYFARTH
When I hand knit, I work with many different colours at the same time. By allowing the colours to flow softly from one to the other, I create a living canvas of gentle colour shifts. The hand knitted models are not planned in advance but allowed during knitting to subtly, intuitively take on a life of their own. I am simply following along, watching the action. These custom knit models take hundreds of hours to complete and are always uniquely personal.
When I sit down to knit using the knitting machine, I am in charge. Everything I do is carefully planned in advance and there is little room for improvisation or intuitive leaps. Often, the graphic patterns and the repeats dominate and become the primary focal points.
The machine knitted models are always carefully hand finished.
I emphasise a thorough finish and knit pin-tucks and piping on all my knit models.
Get started – be creative…
For those of you who want to get started on your own knitting, I have created several hand knitted models that can be purchased as knit-kits.
Yarn and patterns are available in my eSHOP along with many other items to tempt and tantalise the knitting enthusiast.
Need help? Just call…
I am first and foremost artist and designer. I love what I do and I am dedicated to helping my many loyal customers as we pursue our joint passion for knitting. So, if you want help - just call!
Sources of inspiration
My grandmother taught me to knit when I was five years old. I have knitted ever since. On Fanø, someone is always knitting something somewhere whether from wish or want - so it was easy for my grandmother to collect bits and pieces of yarn, in every imaginable color, from her girlfriends on the island. I knitted small and large projects and then sold these very colourful works of art to my girlfriends and their mothers. So it is safe to say that I was weaned on the joy of colour.
Fanø - my creative universe
My main muse resides on Fanø; she is the ocean, the light, the waves, the storms, the birds and the powerful nature. The traditional Fanø costume with its hundred-year-old tradition is another undeniable inspiration. Everyday dresses in plain cotton and party dresses made from silk that came all the way from China. Fanø is a seafaring island and for generations my ancestors were sailors and ship masters who returned with cloth from every corner of the earth. So even back then, the colours were vibrant and effervescent. You can see it for yourself when you visit Fanø during the colourful Fanø and Sønderho Days.
Wanderlust and wildness
Like all Fanø natives, I hear the call of the sirens. Just sweet sixteen, I set out to live for a while in the United States and later in Canada. From my many visits throughout the world, I have packed the sun, the wind and the sky into my colourful soul. Home, once again, on my beloved island and sitting with my dog on the top of a dune, the many impressions are transformed into dynamic colours and shapes. A small, threadbare piece of cloth bought on a market in China, becomes a huge shawl or a jacket or something else - guaranteed never seen before.
Art and costumes
With an open heart and mind, you can find inspiration wherever you are. While my colour choices are marked by the proximity to Fanø's natural habitats and the multiplicity in the big beyond, my fashion choice is permeated by my passion for old costumes:
Turkish coats, the simple cut in Eastern clothes, the Rococo's voluminous detail richness and much more. I also love flowers and birds, leaves, checked squares, triangles and, more than anything, the colour lime green that I try to insert anywhere and everywhere possible.
I never work with just one base colour and one pattern colour - but always with large groups of base and pattern colours that hop, skip and dance to their own lively tune while I follow along. As an old hønsestrikker (no-rules), I dislike too much 'do this- not that' and I always try to find the easiest way out of a complicated piece of knit. However, on one point I am a pedant:
"It must be made properly!" no matter how otherwise wild or anarchistic it is. I always emphasise an elegant and thorough finish.
My patterns
My patterns are only a guide. You can follow them precisely, diverge as you want and play along as the fancy strikes you. The pattern does not commit you to a specific colour combination. You determine the sequence, and there is plenty of yarn for you to play with. The pattern is the same for everyone, but the result always uniquely personal, depending on what colours you feel should follow each other.
My knit designs are made on a circular needle and then cut up, just as with Norwegian sweaters. Although there can be up to 18 different colours in a knit kit, you knit with only two colours at a time. If you can do pattern-knitting, then you can knit my design models.
Please take a look at the design models and the knit-kits in my eSHOP.
Ready to be noticed
I am not hot on the heels of fashion trends, for I simply assume that if it is unique and exciting, then it is also fashion. So, be ready to be noticed when you are finished with one design and ready to start on the next project. Naturally! For my way and style of knitting is very addictive.
Fanø Knit Festival
In 2006, I developed the concept of the first Fanø Knit Festival. This has become a huge success with more than 10,000 participants from around the world presenting their knitting. The festival offers great booths, a wealth of workshops with stimulating and inspiring instructors, fashion shows and exhibitions. Inspiration, fun and joy.

Here's the problem with gun laws...Joe Q. Citizen is expected to jump through all the hoops to carry concealed, but these three dirtbags have illegal possession of 'illegal' guns and not much is done to them.
FL's 10-20-Life should kick in here and require a MINIMUM sentence of 10 years, added on to that should be additional years for the possession of an illegal weapon.
These dirtbags shouldn't see the light of day until they are old and gray.OMOYMV

I agree, we don't need more laws we need more maximum sentences.
send them to jail for any length of time it's like sending them to summer camp. 3 hots & a cot, free cable, free mesical, decent meals ...
it should be no tv, cereal for breakfast & sandwitches 4 2 meals, need medical attention PAY FOR IT, we all have to. Make jail a place they don't want to come back to
I love my Country but I fear my Government
Three guns to my one? I'm probably out my wallet at that point. I'm gutsy but I'm not stupid.
I see a comment on the article that says "Throw the book at them." Screw that. Tie them up in a corner and beat them with it. And pick a big one. Hardback. Unabridged.

I travel for work and carry anywhere my permit is valid (it is KY, so pretty good anywhere except a few states). I am very conscious of hotel security issues. It is a lousy situation, you are asleep in a strange place, you do not have that instinctive feel to move around like at home. I keep a flashlight and my firearm on the nightstand in a hotel. In a few places I have put a chair up under the door (I go some places that are "not so nice")
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
These comments are awfully close to home!
I earn my living on the road, too. Unfortunately, hotel living is a daily event for me.
It really irks me that one of the key places that I must use for my current project forbids any weapons. Also, they do an airport level screening of every person each time you enter their building.
I'm really looking forward to being able to carry regularly--following this project's end.
I love the comments on the web page.

Picked these up last year had them on for a couple months and they decided to not work. Had individual lights go out. One two three four five or all six were not working on half of the fixtures. So it was under warranty they sent me a new set and hopefully no problems arise. It has only been a week or so since the new ones were put on. The lights are bright and other than the problem i love them.

If this weekend's behavior is any indication, Lindsay Lohan isn't about to let a little thing like an alcohol-monitoring bracelet come between her and the Los Angeles party scene--she's just coming up with some wardrobe solutions to disguise it. Check out what she recently wore to hit Las Palmas and Bardot night clubs and a pool party in the Hollywood Hills, after the jump.
The first time Lindsay donned a SCRAM bracelet, back in 2007, she was all about showing it off--she even rocked it with a bikini and high heels!--but this time around, she's being a bit more discreet about it (y'hear that, judge!?). She hid the device under a sparkling jumpsuit at the MTV Movie Awards last week, and this weekend was spotted all over L.A. in what looks like her de facto SCRAM bracelet uniform--short shorts and boots.
On Saturday afternoon, she left a pool party with little sis Ali wearing denim cutoffs and a pair of suede knee-high boots that kept her device under wraps...
Sign up for Glamour.com's Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters!
...a day earlier, she was shopping at Fred Segal in another pair of teeny tiny shorts with flat fringed boots that also hid her SCRAM bracelet...
...and post MTV Movie Awards, she changed into the same boots and another pair of itty bitty booty huggers.
What do you dolls think of Lindsay keeping her alcohol monitoring bracelet covered up this time around? Is it a smart sartorial choice and a sign of her maturity that she doesn't want to show off her run-in with the law? Or is she drawing even more attention towards it by wearing boots in the middle of summer in California? Is this a cute and clever solution to an unsightly wardrobe problem, or just kinda silly? Discuss!

Big City Adventures in Building Science:Sherlock Holmes and the Physics of Forensics - Joseph Lstiburek
AIA CES: 7.5 LUs | 7.5 HSW
When: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11
Where: At The Center
Sherlock Holmes and the Physics of Forensics - Joseph Lstiburek
How do you diagnose problems in buildings? They are often like classic mysteries or detective stories. The best of the best at solving mysteries was Sherlock Holmes. Taking a "Holmesian" approach - the art of deduction - to solving building problems requires a firm understanding of building physics. It also requires patience and stubbornness and confidence when all those around you are loosing it. Joseph Lstiburek will share his diagnostic skills, methods and tools using case studies and a discussion of fundamentals. He will cover rain leakage testing - and why it is often useless; air leakage testing - and why it is often useful; mold testing - and why it is useless; IR scans - and why they help sell jobs but not solve problems; pressure field mapping - why it is useful to the diagnostician but pretty much useless to your clients....and much more. He believes the most useful approach is to "look" rather than test. But that seldom satisfies the client. His motto has become: "You don't get the dough until you do the show." Testing is the "show".
As we have learned to expect from Dr. Lstiburek, you will gain insight and understanding and your designs will never be the same!
Speaker: Dr. Joseph Lstiburek, Building Science Corporation
Speaker Bio

In an announcement to the Stock Exchange today, the club blamed 'short and medium-term cashflow problems' on relegation from the Premiership, 'unsustainable' high wages, lack of activity in the football transfer market, and the loss of revenue from the recent winding-up of ITV Digital.
The club says it is exploring ways of raising fresh capital from shareholders as well as player sales and renegotiating its debts.

PSD template got rejected, can you give some advice? Here is the screenshot: http://oi44.tinypic.com/2yxhwtt.jpg
Hi man, I'm also new here and don't have much experience with this marketplace but I'll tell you my opinion so you can get some idea which things maybe you can make better… First, for menu items, some more styling, maybe to add some separators and something, and make it bigger. This post area below the slideshow, maybe combination of white, blue and gray text is not good, it looks all together too light, maybe to make something (at least text) darker…and change TYPE YOUR COMMENT HERE not to be uppercase…in the footer you have a lot of empty space on the right of contact number and log in, maybe to add something ( move log in little bit to the right and then add something in the middle)...make bigger gap between CONTACT NUMBER and CALL US…contact number is maybe too big…and change Ryan Gossling to someone else (who is not famous) they doesn't accept images of famous people in templates (at least that says knowledge base), however I saw Kelly Brook and Drogba in some templates, but it doesn't matter, I think you'll have a better chances if you replace that image… I hope you'll get some idea from this…Best regards mate

Jake Bostwick: Entering the championship rounds
By JJ SADDINGTON
Cage Warriors 69: Super Saturday saw Jake Bostwick (15-8-0-1) extend his winning streak to eight, claiming arguably his most significant triumph thus far following a split-decision victory over former UFC fighter Simeon Thoresen.
CWFC fans also saw Bostwick's career-to-date played out over the course of three rounds.
ROUND ONE: A promising start, a downward swing…
The start of the round belonged to Bostwick, peppering his opponent with hard leg kicks and a big right hook that visibly wobbled Thoresen. More leg kicks followed and another right hook, before Thoresen turned the tables with a takedown, eventually moving to mount. Bostwick scrambled to half guard, but the round ended with Thoresen in full mount again, landing punches from the top.
Bostwick announced himself on the UK MMA stage in 2006 with three straight wins in a combined cage-time of 1:33. This swift ascent was met with just-as-rapid a decline, as 2007 saw Bostwick go 0-4 - with all four defeats ending inside the first round.
ROUND TWO: A steep decline, an upward swing…
A stuffed takedown and an exchange of leg kicks ushered in the second round, before Bostwick snapped Thoresen's head back with a hard uppercut. The Norwegian responded with a desperate takedown, advancing position and passing Bostwick's guard. Round two was all about Thoresen's top control, moving from one dominant position to another. Bostwick survived the round and the submission attempts, even fighting back from the bottom. The crowd in attendance recognised the significance of this endurance.
The year 2008 continued where its predecessor left off: a 'no-contest' and three further defeats left Bostwick without a win in eight outings and a record of 3-7-0-1. Only a win towards the end of the year signalled a change in fortunes, bringing an end to the drought. Three more victories followed, heralding the start of a revival.
ROUND THREE: A victorious comeback, a remarkable rise…
The final frame was all about Bostwick. Hard leg kicks immobilised Thoresen early in the round, leaving him unable to shoot in effectively for the takedown, and allowing Bostwick to dictate where the action took place. The fight ended with Bostwick having turned the contest on its head, stalking his opponent down and walking away with the victory.
In 2010 Bostwick picked up an impressive win over Denniston Sutherland and he's been winning ever since. The string of defeats had been countered with an even greater run of victories.
Three rounds have passed, but whether or not we'll witness Bostwick enter the championships rounds as a CWFC world title contender remains to be seen. One thing is certain; it'll be a journey worthy of our attention.
For a career that began in less-than-auspicious fashion, Bostwick's emergence as a potential threat to the CWFC welterweight title is as remarkable a turnaround as you'll see in MMA. Make no mistake; this is no renaissance. Bostwick's resurgence has greatly surpassed the initial promise of his early career - we've yet to see him realise his full potential.
In Philip Mulpeter (7-4), he faces a legitimate test to his unbeaten run. A team member of the renowned SBG camp in Ireland, Mulpeter has looked impressive in his CWFC victories, most recently running through Aldric Cassata en route to a first-round TKO stoppage.
Bostwick versus Mulpeter is set to be a crowd-pleasing spectacle that's already got the fans talking, but it's potentially something more than that. It could be the next step in the evolution of a fighter who continues to improve every time he steps into the cage.
Jake Bostwick takes on Phillip Mulpeter in the co-main event at Cage Warriors 70 in Dublin, Ireland, this Saturday evening, August 16. Click HERE for more information.

Glenn Youth seeks to be a safe space for 6th through 12th graders to be themselves, ask questions, have fun, and learn. We understand youth development and promote an environment that focuses on growth. We emphasize trust and building relationships with one another. Glenn Youth is open, accepting, and welcoming to all, and we strive to serve others in our community and abroad.
View and/or subscribe to the weekly "Youth at Glenn" E-Newsletter.
Weekly Schedule
9:45 - 10:45 a.m.: Gather for fellowship and study in the Youth and Activities Building (YAAB).
6:00 - 6:30 p.m.: Combined Dinner in the YAAB
6:30 - 7:30 p.m.: Mid-High United Methodist Youth Fellowship (UMYF)
6:30 - 7:30 p.m.: Chapel Choir (Sr. High)
7:30 - 8:30 p.m.: Altar Choir (Mid-High)
7:30 - 8:30 p.m.: Senior High UMYF
6:30 - 7:30 p.m.: Following Wednesday Night Supper, youth will either participate in the programming in the Ward Fellowship Hall or meet across the street in the YAAB for community building and fellowship.
Goals and Milestones
6th Grade: Our hope is that youth feel welcomed and comfortable and are excited about the opportunities to get involved. This is the first year of Confirmation where 6th graders are partnered with a Big Brother or Sister in the program. Youth are given the opportunity to participate in Sunday Worship as an acolyte, communion server, lay reader, or musician. Youth will also be asked to serve on one of our Youth committees: Missions - Local, Missions - Outside of Atlanta, Sunday Nights, Retreats, Confirmation, Musical/Play, or Fundraising.
7th Grade: 7th grade youth will continue to be integrated into the programs of Glenn Youth and the larger congregation. This is the second year of Confirmation where youth will learn about the Christian faith, discipleship, and United Methodist theology and polity. Our goal is for youth to claim their faith and make an informed decision on whether or not they will be confirmed. 7th grade youth will be paired with an adult "Friend-in-Faith" who will serve as a mentor.
8th Grade: 8th grade youth have the opportunity to attend our Spiritual Life Retreat in the Spring and serve as a Big Brother or Sister to our 6th grade youth. Our goal is for our 8th grade youth to be the leaders of our mid-high ministry, setting examples of love, service, and hospitality. 8th grade youth are also highly encouraged to participate in worship services and may serve on one or more of our ministry committees. "Beyond Confirmation," our casual confirmation series that is driven by youth questions, is available to 8th - 12th grade students.
9th Grade: As they integrate into the senior high youth program, youth are given the opportunity to serve as a Co-Chair on one of our youth committees. Youth may also participate in Bite Nite, a city-wide scavenger hunt, and are expected to be leaders of this fun event. Youth may continue to participate in "Beyond Confirmation."
10th Grade: As they integrate into the entire life of the congregation, touth are expected to participate in Sunday worship services, serve on a committee, help plan worship The Gathering at 5:05 p.m., and volunteer for service and outreach events outside of Glenn Youth. Youth are encouraged to ask deep questions about their faith and begin to form a faith language.
11th Grade: Our hope is that 11th grade youth would be able to clearly articulate the WHY in how their faith shapes the decisions they make. Youth are expected to serve their community outside of Glenn Youth and be leaders in the community.
12th Grade: Seniors are given the opportunity to give back to Glenn. Seniors together create, organize, and lead "March Madness," a series of Sunday evening services. Seniors are given the opportunity to share their "Senior Reflection" on Youth Sunday, the 100% youth led worship service every May at 11:00 a.m.. Seniors have the responsibility of driving our culture of love, service, and hospitality.
All youth entering 6th grade and older who desire to explore their faith, grow in their relationship with Christ, and get involved in United Methodist Youth Fellowship are invited to join confirmation.
Our two year structure is set up to first help youth assimilate into youth group. The first year focuses on fellowship and integrating youth into UMYF. Confirmands are paired with high school youth who will be "Big Brothers and Sisters" and who have committed to help their younger "Brother and Sisters" feel comfortable and engaged at UMYF. If you would like to sign up for Confirmation, contact Rev. Blair Setnor.
In the second year of Confirmation, the focus is exploring our United Methodist heritage and understanding and practicing faithful Christian discipleship. Members of the congregation are involved as "Friends-in-Faith," walking along side Confirmands to provide a broader scope of congregational support. This Glenn member will be active in many of the Confirmation activities as well as acting as a mentor for the Confirmand throughout the process. To participate in the second year of Confirmation or to nominate a Friend-in-Faith, contact Rev. Blair Setnor.
Service & Mission
A large part of the identity of Glenn Youth is service. Each year our youth partner with a local non-profit to build relationships and work to impact change. We commit to working with this organization at least two Saturdays in the fall and spring, with additional summer dates.
Youth also have the opportunity to serve throughout Atlanta for one week in June. During this week youth may volunteer to help with Vacation Bible School in the morning at Glenn and then will travel throughout Atlanta serving in the afternoons.
Additional service and mission opportunities include a yearly week long mission trip in June or July. Summer of 2016, our youth traveled to Toronto for their Choir Tour and also worked stateside with Servants in Faith and Technology.
*NEW* Youth Bucks! Earn money for Glenn Youth Events
From August 2016 - July 2017, earn money for any youth activity, retreat, or trip! For 1 hour of work, you earn $10 towards an activity of your choice. Work must be approved by Blair or Susan.

Had third fraxel dual to rid my face of the rest of the melasma that the IPL did not get off. I have tried the other Fraxel's which did not help with the melasma at all, including Fraxel Restore and Repair. I would go so far to say that those prior treatments (including other lasers such as Thermage and CoolTouch) may have helped exacerbate the melasma. However, the Fraxel Dual really helped eradicate whatever remained. I had a melasma-mustache (that looks much better, if not totally gone.
I will know in a few days as I just had my last (hopefully) treatment today, if it is totally gone.

Hey guys! Well, I just picked up my new '13 WRX on Thursday (base model) and I'll be taking it up to my place in Montana with my girlfriend in about a month or so. I'm in southern California (Orange County), so it's going to be a nice fun trip (about 1,140 miles or so). The big question is whether or not I should swap out my tires for some nice all-season or winter tires for the trek up there. Obviously my rex came with Dunlop summer tires, so I'm a little cautious as to how they will perform in the snow (if there is any - Montana generally seems to just be really wet this time of year).
Does anyone who lives in a colder climate have any insight to offer about the stock tires? I don't mind swapping them out, but I also don't want it to be for nothing if the performance won't be too drastically different. I'll be in Montana for about 4-5 days before driving back, so is it worth it changing them out for such a short period of time? Thanks in advance!


text: CHICAGO, Oct. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitek Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MITK; www.miteksystems.com), the leader in mobile-imaging solutions, today announced version 3.0 of its award-winning Mobile Deposit® product that enables mobile-banking customers to make deposits simply by taking pictures of checks with their smartphone cameras. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100224/MITEKLOGO) The new version improves the user experience and performance of Mitek's industry leading mobile Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) product, which now runs on Windows Server 2008 R2, the preferred operating system of many financial institutions. Mitek announced the improvements in its flagship mobile-check-deposit application at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference & Expo 2011 being held here. Six of the top 10 retail banks in the United States and more than 80 financial institutions are using Mobile Deposit as their mobile RDC application of choice and a cornerstone of their mobile strategies. "The first month that we launched Mobile Deposit, we saw new enrollments for consumer capture increase four times," said Mike Kroft, VP of E-Banking at Mercantile Bank of Michigan in Grand Rapids, Mich. "It has been an extremely effective tool in helping us grow our retail customer base, so we are pleased to see Mitek continue to evolve the product." A new market research paper entitled "Mobile Remote Deposit Capture: Changing how consumers bank and banks compete" by AlixPartners LLP, the global business-advisory firm, found that mobile RDC is a powerful, must-have capability for banks in acquiring new mobile-banking customers and keeping existing ones. Banks that fail to implement a mobile-banking strategy with mobile RDC as an essential capability risk losing market share, the report found. "In today's marketplace, where basic mobile banking functionality is quickly becoming table stakes, Mobile RDC capabilities represent an opportunity for banks to increase relevancy with their customers, enhance engagement and communication, and stay at the leading edge of the mobile app game. Mobile RDC delivers that unique combination of real consumer utility and marketplace sizzle," the AlixPartners report stated.

Menzer defends Saturday!
Photos: Eroll Popova
Press the picture to go to the next
Universum is returning to Bremen nearly ten years after the last appearance in the same city. On Saturday the "Universum Champions Night" will feature two title fights plus the return of a highly regarded contender. Headlining the event will be the popular and unbeaten WIBF/WBC featherweight champion Ina Menzer (23-0, 9 KOs) will be risking her belts against Franchesca "The Chosen One" Alcanter (18-8-1, 9 KOs). Also, Wladimir Sidorenko (21-1-2, 7 KOs) is returning to try to take back the WBA bantamweight crown he lost to Anselmo Moreno (24-1-1, 8 KOs) last year, and recent WBO cruiserweight title challenger Alexander Alekseev (16-1, 15 KOs) returns against The Contender's Max Alexander (14-4-2, 2 KOs). A press conference was held earlier this week at the Bremer Autohaus Brandt.
World champion Ina Menzer: "Franchesca is always attacking, she knows what's she's doing. I expect a very aggressive opponent but I have prepared myself very good with my coach Trainer Michael Timm for this challenge. I'm in excellent shape and my last fight against Esther Schouten has given me a boost on my level. I want to make use of this improvement against an awkward and experienced fighter. I want to show a great fight and thrill the Bremer audience!"
Ina Menzer's trainer Michael Timm: "The fight against Esther Schouten past January was her best fight so far. We still have worked on some parts like left or right hooks to body and head as well as the feeling for the distance to the opponent."
For the US-American Alcanter it will be the first fight on European soil. Alcanter: "Its a new experience for me to fight in Europe and here in Germany. I'm excited and I'm looking forward to the challenge. Ina is a deserved champion but she has to get past me. I will pressure here from the beginning."
Alcanter trainer Brian Spicer: "Ina has great boxing skills and we know that. The fight will be a very big challenge and we have to give our best. The fight on Saturday night will be special and a lot of fun and be prepared what we will show."
After the presser both fighters drove to the famous landmark, the Bremen Town Musicians. Menzer and Alcanter touched the the front hooves of the donkey as it is said to make wishes come true.
Two male fighters are ready to return
Additonal high class fights will be featured in Bremen. With lots of anger the bantamweight Wladimir Sidorenko (21-1-2, 7 KOs) is returning to action. The Ukranian "Mini-Power Station" will face current WBA champion Anselmo Moreno (24-1-1, 8 KOs) of Panama in a rematch of his controversial points loss one year earlier. The Michael Timm trained Sidorenko now has the chance to recapture his title. Sidorenko: "I feel I was cheated out of the win. It was at least a draw so I would have kept my title and would still be world champion. I will make it much better and clearer now and I want to take my belt back."
Michael Timm: "Wladimir has trained very hard and intensive and I'm sure that he will win this time against Moreno."
World champion Anselmo Moreno stated about the differences to last years fight: "This time it will be much easier. I will take the belt back once again to Panama. Last year everyone in my country watched my fight and my win and the will be watching it this Saturday as well."
The highly regarded cruiserweight Alexander Alekseev (16-1, 15 KOs) wants to get back on track. He was surprisingly upset by Victor Ramirez in January in a bout for the vacant WBO interim belt by technical knockout in round 9. Alekseev will now take on the American Max Alexander (14-4-2, 2 KOs) in a ten-rounder. Alekseev: "I don't always want to remain a contender, but to become the world cruiserweight champion. Here in Bremen I want to take the first step on the way."
A total of seven fights are scheduled including Marcel Meyerdiercks. The unbeaten featherweight will be facing the Bulgarian Iordan Vasilev in his 12th pro fight. Also in action will be the Hungarian flyweight prospect Pal "Pimpa" Bedak who wants to demonstrate his amazing speed and punching power against Hassan Azaouagh of France.
The talented heavyweight Christian Hammer returns to the ring for his second pro fight after a long injury lay-off. Hammer will be challenging Nikolai Marinov.
The fight of Ina Menzer will be shown live on ZDF from 11:00pm. The highlights are available to see on www.boxing.de on Sunday.

Import pdf problem
Hi all,
I'm importing data from pdf documents on a web site. This works well
most of the time. But for a few of the pdfs, Mathematica "barfs" and
does not return either the "Pages" or the "Plinatext". (I am only
really interest in the "Plaintext".) Instead it produces error
messages such as "Expected PDF object" and "Expected array operator
argument", etc.
Here are actual examples. First, one that works fine:
Rate_And_Energy_Futures_2008017.pdf", "Rules"]
Next, one that does not work fine:
Rate_And_Energy_Futures_2008016.pdf", "Rules"]
Finally, one that really bums out Mathematica (it produces a Runtime
error from Visual C++):
Rate_And_Energy_Futures_2008022.pdf", "Rules"]
Note that Adobe has no problem opening and reading the ones that give
Mathematica problems.
Presumably, this behavior is a bug. Have others encountered such
problems with other pdf files? (FYI, I'm using version 6 for Windows.)
