Regarding "knowledge" in the sense of the e-books, training videos and programs outlined above, I think that often there is a distinction to be made between whether you are actually paying for the "knowledge" itself, or rather the collation of the "knowledge"
For example, many IT-Sec related books and video training materials are, on a simplistic level, just reiterations of already freely available "knowledge", to be found legally and freely through other channels, such as websites, forums, mailing lists, etc.
In such a case, I would have to say that it is still reasonable to expect to pay for the time and effort spent by the author in collating the "knowledge" into an easily accessible and digestible format.
Usually there is a choice of doing the "leg work" yourself, or buying the prepared materials.
Some materials are actually unique works of study, or unique works of programming, etc, in which case you are actually paying for the "knowledge" or "information" itself (or at least the ability to use it)
I would say that it is still reasonable to be expected to pay for the actual unique information itself, because put simply, it's the authors own unique work, performed as a means of income.
Obviously other factors are involved, such as returning on any financial investment undertaken by the author, and so on, further entitling them to expect a financial gain.
As for a non-monetary based utopia - the internet has gone quite some way to providing alternative means of freely and legally accessing information which may otherwise had to have been paid for.
Again, for example, take the C|EH CBT's - you could probably find most, if not all, of the information covered in this series through alternative freely available means, scattered around the internet.
But again, we're back to the question of "is it worth it to you?" to save the time and hassle and just buy it in a pre-compiled easily digested and consistent format?
It's hard to make a justifiable and convincing argument for making compulsory free access to absolutely all and any material.........
Just some "off the top of my head" observations...........

Its hard to feed your family "fun and enjoyment'What ever happened to just doing it just for fun and enjoyment?
There is a lot of information that I distribute directly or indirectly that I never expect will return direct renumeration. Things like posts here on the RE Forum and other fora are a good example. Mostly these are for fun, although at times they do pay off indirectly in the exchange of information. Another example of something I never expected to get paid for was coming up with the idea of the WPA Rainbow Tables* that so many people in the pen-testing community use. In that, I saw the greater danger to wireless users of the weak passphrases and the potential for a rainbow attack, and thought that it should shown to the pen-testing world. Nothing was expected in return, except perhaps some peer recognition, and the fact that a great number of users would become aware of the danger of weak passphrases and would therefore be better able to protect themselves.
However, when I sit down to write a book, there is a definite expectation that when I put the words on paper (or screen as it were), that I will be paid for the work of presenting the information in an organized format for the reader. (For those who have never written more than a term paper, writing is work.) The expectation is that readers will find value in the information contained in the book, and they will pay the publisher for that value. Face it, people buy books for the content, not for the paper. I further expect that the publisher in turn will pay me for writing that information in the first place and thus making the information valuable and a salable commodity. Those people who do things like download a free scan of a book I've written are finding value in the information, but are doing nothing less than taking money from me and the publisher (or any other writer and publisher in the same position) since they haven't paid for the information.
I understand what you are confused about, but I reject the belief system that insists that altruistic works are always good and self-interest is always bad. There is nothing wrong with being selfish about earning income from my works. To be selfish means that one cares about his own interests above those of others. In this case, I am merely looking to get the monies that are due me from my works, and I place that value above other people getting the information for nothing. This is precisely what is at the heart of the matter of what Pureh@te is saying about feeding the family.
This is no different than going to a job, and expecting an employer to pay a reasonable amount of money in return for the time and energy used to do that job. Few people expect to do a job and not be paid. On the other hand, if something is done for enjoyment, then few people expect to be paid.
In the same way, the ethics are quite simple and consistent. If a work is done for profit, I expect that there will be payment by others as long as my work is of value to them. If I release some information without expectation of payment, then people are free to accept or reject that information without owing me anything.
*For what it's worth, the basis for the WPA attack was my idea. I'm happy to acknowledge that Renderman, Joshaua Wright, and Dragorn ran with it and did all the heavy lifting.
Stop the TSA now! Boycott the airlines.
Another example, in a larger sense than the WPA tables, are most if not all of the Church of WiFi projects, the Wireless Village, and associated presentations. No one, of course, is paying us for this work, but I know we spend a lot more time than people probably realize behind the scenes. Most people go to cons to enjoy themselves, have fun, and learn something, and so do we. But we put a great emphasis on actively contributing to the community, and it too is also a lot of hard work.
Thorn. I see you quoted be before I had a chance to edit out most of what I said. I edited it out because I didn't want you to get me wrong, and I felt you might with what I said. So a big thanks for taking what I said in stride. I can relate to having to put food on the table to feed my family. I like working on PC's and fixing other peoples PC issues. And I under bid myself because I enjoy it so much. Its more of a hobby turned professional, like my pentesting. I just do them both for fun and I don't expect to be paid much...but I do expect to be paid something. Thanks again Thorn for not taking my unedited words to heart and for seeing what I was truly asking of you.

I hate these topics. I'd prefer not to comment... but while I'm here.
The way I see it, most knowledge is free... depending on the subject, of course.
All you're paying for... most of the time, is the format, the time spent stringing words together, the printing and the paper.
I enjoy the idea of free knowledge... however... I would also like to have a hard copy handy, if possible.
Either way, if you want the knowledge on paper... it has to be paid for, somehow... whether one prints it out oneself or if one is fortunate enough to afford the book.
[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]hehe...
I was trying to make a simple distinction between whether we are often really paying for the knowledge, or just individual presentations of it?
More often than not, especially with IT related materials, the actual knowledge can be found quite freely elsewhere - mainly thanks to the www.
the inventors worked many years unpaid so as to make the world a better place because they loved it so very much, also you will find alot of authors. WOULD still write regardless to pay when you find something you truely love and dedicate your life to "ALBERT EINSTEIN" pay is irealevent. Lots of people dedicate lots of time for free, a perfect example would be charity work, and although i completely understand providing your family with food is priority number one that doesnt mean that every one WRITEs to get paid or studies to get paid.
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8byte space, on purpose.

Yeah, that's right, a health center - lots of sweating fat people in spandex. Really gross. I don't go in for spandex. When I go to work out, I wear cotton sweats, Nike's, and my CWPT hat. I don't really fit in.
Any way, my first day (a few weeks ago), I was treated to a tour of the facilities - several weight rooms, indoor tennis courts, indoor track, pool, all kinds of treadmills in front of widescreen TV's, biking machines - you get the picture. But the item that finally convinced me this was not going to be so bad after all was the facility's eats area. When I first walked in, I saw pretty much what I had expected: lots of organic-type weirdo stuff, tofu, green teas, energy drinks, protein meals, etc, etc. But then the daily special caught my eye. On a big handwritten sign:
All members receive 10% off our grilled hot dogs!
Yeah, I'm gonna like the health center.
I'll have two with chili, nacho cheese, mustard, onions, and relish. Oh yeah, and a diet coke. And hurry please, I have a date with a treadmill.

A more detailed breakdown to be published next month is expected to show that about 29,000 pupils were in classes that broke the official limit of 30 - 5,000 more than last year.
The news is embarrassing for the government because reducing class sizes was a key election pledge for Labour in the 1997 general election campaign. Ministers changed the law to make it illegal for five- to seven-year-olds to be taught in infant classes of more than 30 pupils from September 2001. But the proportion of children taught in such large classes has risen every year since then.
The first set of new figures published yesterday by the Department for Education and Skills showed that 2.1% of the 1.4 million five-, six- and seven-year-olds in English schools were taught in classes of 31 or more in January this year. This was up from 1.6% last year and 0.6% in 2002. Last year the DES said there were 24,300 children in infant classes of more than 30.
Yesterday government officials stressed that the number of primary school classes actually breaking the law had fallen this year. This was because many of the large classes had been approved as "exceptions" and given temporary permission to exceed the limit.
The exceptions include situations when children are moved into a school's area after the start of the school year, or when a local authority has placed children with special needs in a school.
Schools minister Jacqui Smith said: "We have made significant progress in meeting our commitment to limit the class sizes for five-, six- and seven-year-olds. This year the number of classes that contravene class size regulations has fallen. However, there has been a small rise in the number of classes, with valid exceptions, where numbers exceed 30 children.
"The government has a range of legal powers that can be used to ensure that schools fulfil their legal obligations on class sizes, and there should be no doubt that we will not hesitate to use them where necessary."
Steve Sinnott, general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said it was vital that the true picture of how many pupils were being taught in classes of more than 30 - legal or otherwise - should be revealed: "It's essential because it was one of the genuine consensus strategies of the incoming government in 97."
Sarah Teather, Liberal Democrat shadow education secretary, said:"These figures are deeply worrying. Parents want to know that the teacher is going to be able to pay attention to the individual needs of their child. The bigger the class, the harder it is to give individual children attention. Smaller class sizes create a better learning environment and help foster better behaviour within the classroom. Once again the government is failing to deliver the basics for young children."
David Willetts, Conservative shadow education secretary, commented: "Labour made a promise to parents that they would abolish infant class sizes of more than 30. Tony Blair even claimed last year to have delivered on it.
"New figures will show that there are 30,000 infants in classes of more than 30, and the trend is moving in the wrong direction. The prime minister may have claimed victory, but this is yet another battle he has yet to win."

Opinions to lower my recent TT scar and lift my still sagging mons further include removal of an inch of skin below scar, extend scar, anchoring sutures, lipo to pubis. One suggestion to maximize how much the scar can be lowered is to release the belly button and lift the skin to just above it. Realself has very opposing views on umbilical floats with regards to a modified or mini TT. What are your opinions on this please if we're just aiming to lower scar? Thank you for your time.

It's 2016, and 'prediction' season has well and truly kicked in. There's a lot to mull over in the hospitality industry, and much of it – like the increase in mergers and acquisitions and the switch from property ownership to management – is a reflection of what is happening across all industry sectors.
But there's quite a bit in the travel and tourism sector that is quirky and off-beat. With pop-up hotels, peer-to-peer dining, and Generation "0" travellers (Grandparents taking their grandchildren on all-inclusive holidays) Les Roches International School of Hotel Management has come up with some trends that you might not find on other such lists.

Gold's price path during the Far East trading session was pretty much what it's been for the last little while...a tiny rally that tops out in afternoon trading in Hong Kong...and the a gentle sell-off into the London open and beyond.
Such was the case again yesterday. Gold traded pretty flat in London...dipped, and then went vertical about ten minutes after the Comex open. That rally lasted about one minute...and that was pretty much it for the day, as the high frequency traders engineered a price decline that took back all of Wednesday's gains...plus a little bit more.
The low of the day [$1,656.90 spot] came minutes after 12 o'clock noon in New York...and from there it recovered a few dollars going into the close of electronic trading. The high, about $1,681 spot, was around 2:00 p.m. in Hong Kong.
Gold closed at $1,663.80 spot...down $12.60 from Wednesday. Net volume was very chunky...around 172,000 contracts. All the newly-minted long positions that were placed during yesterday's big rally got blown out of their positions during the New York trading session on Thursday, as JPMorgan et al rang the cash register again.
It was precisely the same story in silver...and I'll spare you the gory details, as the chart says it all.
Silver's high [around $32.10 spot] came at gold's high...around 2:00 p.m. in Hong Kong. Thursday's low [$31.04 spot] came at 12:10 p.m. in New York.
Silver closed at $31.47 spot...down 55 cents on the day. Net volume was pretty hefty at 51,000 contracts....as the new silver longs met the same fate as the new gold longs.
Platinum and palladium had totally different chart patterns, but both finished down on the day as well.
The dollar index opened at 79.26...and then traded basically flat the whole day, closing at 79.20. Nothing to see here. For the umpteenth time the currencies had nothing to do with the price action on the world's precious metal markets. It was all paper trading on the Comex that determined the price yesterday...as it is most days.
The HUI dropped over a percent during the first thirty minutes of the trading day...and basically didn't do much for the rest of the day, closing down 1.14%.
Except for a couple of small junior producers, the silver stocks all finished lower on the day...and Nick Laird's Intraday Silver Sentiment Index closed down 0.93%.
(Click on image to enlarge)
The CME's Daily Delivery Report for 'Day 2' of the February delivery month showed that 1,554 gold and 1 lonely silver contract were posted for delivery from within the Comex-approved depository on Monday. There was no stand-out short/issuer amongst the more that two dozen companies involved...but Morgan Stanley, the Bank of Nova Scotia and Goldman Sachs were four of the most notable. The two biggest long/stoppers by far were Deutsche Bank and HSBC USA...with 575 and 564 contracts respectively. JPMorgan Chase was a distant third. The Issuers and Stoppers Report is definitely worth a quick look...and the link is here.
There were no reported changes in GLD yesterday...but an authorized participant withdrew 2,079,201 troy ounces of silver from SLV.
The U.S. Mint had a tiny sales report to round out the month. They sold 500 one-ounce 24K gold buffaloes, along with another 78,000 silver eagles. For the month, the mint sold 150,000 ounces of gold eagles...72,500 one-ounce 24K gold buffaloes...and 7,498,000 silver eagles. The silver/gold sales ratio for January was almost 37 to 1.
Over at the Comex-approved depositories on Wednesday, they reported receiving 300,964 troy ounces of silver...and shipped only 19,612 ounces of the stuff out the door. The link to that action is here.
The latest Weekly Analysis of SLV's bar list was posted on the about.ag/SLV Internet site on Wednesday...and you can read all about the latest internal goings-on by clicking here.
I have three charts courtesy of Nick Laird today. The first two are the Intraday Average Gold/Silver Price Movements for December 2012. Note that the average daily high in gold in December came around 9:30 a.m. in London...a bit of a recovery at the noon silver fix...and then the sell-off at the Comex open...with the low of the day shortly before lunch in New York.
(Click on image to enlarge)
The December Intraday Average Price Movement for silver is almost identical to the above gold chart...with the major price changes coming at the same times.

I don't have all that many stories today..and I hope you have the time to at least read the parts of each that I've cut and paste.
As new weekly jobs numbers emerged Thursday showing a jump in unemployment claims and a report released the previous day showed the economy shrinking in late 2012, President Obama is effectively laying off his jobs council.
The layoff -- which comes in the form of the administration not renewing the council, which sunsets Thursday -- takes off the table a first-term panel set up to field ideas from the business community for spurring growth. But the administration was accused all along of never taking full advantage of the group at a time when the economy desperately needed those ideas.
The council itself, a group of business and labor leaders, hasn't met officially in more than a year. The group was tasked with making recommendations to Obama to help create jobs, but the 26 members only met four times in two years.
As the council expires Thursday with no plans to extend it, House Speaker John Boehner's office panned the president's alleged disinterest in the group.
This Fox News article was filed from Washington yesterday...and I thank Washington state reader S.A. for today's first story. The link is here.
Bill Gross, the PIMCO fund manager known as the "Bond King," is out with his February investment letter, titled "Credit Supernova!"
This month, Gross tackles the relationship between credit expansion and real growth. He channels the late economist Hyman Minsky, saying the economy is now in Minsky's "Ponzi finance" phase, "when additional credit would be required just to cover increasingly burdensome interest payments, with accelerating inflation the end result."
Gross writes that new credit is providing diminishing returns: "Each additional dollar of credit seems to create less and less heat. In the 1980s, it took four dollars of new credit to generate $1 of real GDP. Over the last decade, it has taken $10, and since 2006, $20 to produce the same result."
Gross is starting to sound suspiciously like Doug Noland over at the Prudent Bear. But if Bill really wants to walk the walk that goes with the talk, he should convert his bond fund into a physical precious metal fund. This story appeared on the businessinsider.com Internet site yesterday morning Eastern time...and I thank Roy Stephens for sending it. The link is here.
Two thirds of French people agree with their labour minister's controversial claim that the country is a "totally bankrupt state".
In all 63 per cent agree that "in France, the state is bankrupt", with 45 per cent saying the claim was "more or less justified" and 17 per cent feeling it was "totally justified", according to a CSA poll for BFM TV.
France last balanced its budget in 1973. State spending accounts for almost 57 per cent of gross domestic product while public debt has now reached 91 per cent of GDP – some 28,000 euros per inhabitant.
The trade deficit hit a record high of 74 billion euros last year and unemployment has risen constantly over the past two years to above the three million mark.

Remember all those soaring German confidence indices that said ignore the negative GDP print and focus on a future so bright, ze Germans got to wear Zeiss? Appears the confidence may have been a tad massaged upwards because following a spate of weak corporate results out of Europe's growth dynamo, the German HDE retail association said Christmas sales for November and December were down some 0.7% from the prior year. Specifically German retail sales plunged -1.7% from November on expectations of a modest -0.1% decline, while on a year over year basis December imploded a whopping -4.7% vs. expectations of -1.5%. Did the Germans blame the weather of lack of government spending, or maybe say to only focus on the positive aspects of the report (if any)? No. They were not girlie men about it.

Italian magistrates investigating losses at Banca Monte dei Paschi say the mushrooming scandal has taken a dramatic turn, with political fallout that threatens to rock the country's elections next month and upset eurozone plans for a banking union.
"The situation is explosive," said Tito Salerno, head of the prosecuting team in Siena, describing the fast-moving events at Italy's third-largest bank as extremely grave.
The Milan bourse tumbled 3.4pc and yields on 10-year Italian bonds spiked 15 basis points to 4.31pc as the political scandal widened.
Monte dei Paschi (MPS), the world's oldest bank dating back to 1472, is under investigation for covering up losses on derivatives and paying over the odds for its €9bn (£7.8bn) purchase of Banca AntonVeneta in 2007. Italy's press alleges that the inquiry has unearthed a network of bribes and kickbacks, a claim denied by the bank.
I ran a story about this a few days back...but here's Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's take on it. It was posted on The Telegraph's website late Wednesday evening...and it's courtesy of Roy Stephens. The link is here.
In the aftermath of yesterday's surprising attack by Israel on Syrian soil, an act which any prior justification notwithstanding is a clear act of
war sovereign aggression, it was only a matter of time before Syria responded, at least diplomatically at first. And as we also noted yesterday that "Iran has previously warned that any attack on Syria is the same as an attack on Iran" it was safe to assume that Iran would have a thing or two to say in response as well. Earlier today they did just that, with Syria warning that a "surprise" response to the Israel attack is forthcoming, while the "Iranian deputy foreign minister Hossein Amir Abdullahian said the attack "demonstrates the shared goals of terrorists and the Zionist regime...
It is necessary for the sides which take tough stances on Syria to now take serious steps and decisive stances against this aggression by Tel Aviv and uphold criteria for security in the region." Finally yesterday we wondered "how Russia and/or China which have made clear that Syria is a strategic geopolitical center for both in the past will react", and today we know: "Russia, which has blocked Western efforts to put pressure on Syria at the United Nations, said that any Israeli air strike would amount to unacceptable military interference." So far nothing from China, which has in the past let Russia be its proxy on Syrian matters.
And while the rhetoric has soared on all sides, it remains to be seen if Syria will indeed challenge Israel or if it will retain its bluster, an act which will simply invite Bibi to launch ever more offensive sorties until one day something finally does snap.

The first is with Egon von Greyerz...and it's headlined "Key Charts, Propaganda, Gold, Silver and the Ongoing Collapse". Next is this blog with Paul Brodsky. It's entitled "QB Asset Management Projects Shadow Gold Price to be $15,000 in One Year!" And lastly is this interview with Michael Belkin. It bears the headline "We're Facing A 1987 Selloff and Eventual Hyperinflation".
Many financial institutions and multinational organizations view speculating on food commodities as a dangerous game and a contributor to global hunger. Despite its bruised reputation, Deutsche Bank is leaping back into the business.
In May 2012, shortly before ending his term as CEO of Deutsche Bank, Josef Ackermann realized with some remorse that "no deal is worth risking the good reputation of Deutsche Bank."
But, by then, the reputation of Germany's largest bank was already somewhat battered -- and it's suffered even more since. The latest scratch came on Thursday, when the bank reported a surprise net loss of €2.2 billion ($3 billion), for the fourth quarter of 2012, citing numerous lawsuits and official investigations among the reasons.
This makes it all the more surprising that Jürgen Fitschen, who succeeded Ackermann along with co-CEO Anshu Jain, is now returning to the type of business that could further damage the bank's image: speculation in agricultural commodities.
This story was posted on the German website spiegel.de late yesterday morning European time...and it's worth skimming. It's courtesy of Roy Stephens...and the link is here.
You've likely heard that the German central bank announced it will begin withdrawing part of its massive gold holdings from the United States as well as all its holdings from France. By 2020, Bundesbank says it wants half its gold reserves stored in its own vault in Germany.
Why would it want to physically move the metal from New York? It's not as if US vaults are not secure, and since Germany already owns the gold, does it really matter where it sits?
You may recall that Hugo Chávez did the same thing in late 2011, repatriating much of his country's gold reserves from London. However, this isn't a third-world dictatorship; Germany is a major ally of the US. So what's going on?

Writing for Forbes yesterday, economist, fund manager, and author Nathan Lewis proves that Harry Truman was right about gold as well as everything else insofar as "the only thing new in the world is the history you don't know."
In an essay headlined "The 10-Minute Gold Standard: It's Much Easier than You Think" -- Lewis quotes the classical economists David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill to argue that, theoretically, at least, a gold standard for currency can be maintained very simply without convertibility or any gold reserves at all if issuance of the currency is tightly controlled.
Quoting Ricardo from 1817: "It will be seen that it is not necessary that the paper money should be payable in specie to secure its value; it is only necessary that its quantity should be regulated according to the value of the metal which is declared to be the standard."
The rest of Chris Powell's commentary, plus the link to the article itself, was posted on the gata.org Internet site yesterday...and the link is here.
Interviewed by Lars Schall for Matterhorn Asset Management's Gold Switzerland Internet site, the economist Robert Blumen explains why gold mine supply is of little relevance to the gold price, gold being largely hoarded and always available to the market rather than consumed or destroyed like other commodities. Blumen also comments favorably about GATA's complaint that Western central banks are surreptitiously active in the gold market to restrain the price.
I borrowed all of this preamble from a GATA release yesterday. The interview is headlined "What Is Really Key for the Price Formation of Gold?"...and it's posted at Gold Switzerland's Internet site here.
Turkey is facing more pressure from global communities to end it's gold-for-gas dealings with Iran.
The latest to join the fray is United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), which launched its Turkey gold campaign, and called on both the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and Istanbul Gold Exchange (IGE) to enact new measures to combat illicit barter agreements, where Iranian crude oil is being exchanged for Turkish gold.
Specifically, UANI is calling for the LBMA to require all of its members, particularly the IGE, to certify that the recipient of their gold products is not Iran. The LBMA should revoke the membership of any member that is unable to do so.
The trade of Turkish gold for Iranian crude oil is enabling the Iranian regime to evade sanctions and continue funding its nuclear program.
This article showed up on the bullionstreet.com Internet site early yesterday afternoon India Standard Time...and I thank Marshall Angeles for sending it. It's a must read...and the link is here.
Trade in Turkish gold bars to Iran via Dubai is drying up as a growing number of banks and dealers refuse to buy the bullion to avoid the risks associated with Turkey's gold-for-gas trade with Iran.
U.S. officials say they are concerned the trade between the two countries provides a financial lifeline to the Iran, which is largely frozen out of the global banking system by Western sanctions.
The U.S. State Department said in December that diplomats were in talks with Ankara over the flow of gold to Iran after the Senate approved expanded sanctions on trade with Iran's energy and shipping sectors, which would also restrict trade in precious metals.
This commentary was posted on the mineweb.com Internet site sometime on Wednesday...and I thank Marshall Angeles for sending it along. It's definitely worth reading...and the link is here.
Maybe I'm reading too much into the latest utterances on likely gold price performance this year and going forward but I do get the feeling in my bones that the yellow metal's flat performance of the past 15 months or so may be coming to an end – not in a collapse, but in an upwards surge.
There do seem to be some fundamental moves which could suggest a bit of a sea change in sentiment towards precious metals, and gold in particular.
The first of these is the German decision to repatriate half its gold, from vaults in the U.S. and France, over the next seven year. Now while the Bundesbank seems to deem this a satisfactory programme, the German in the street must be asking why can this not be achieved this year, or this month even.
No explanation from the Bundesbank, or the Fed can possibly alleviate the suspicion, long expressed by organisations like GATA, that all the German gold is not, at this time, actually available to be moved.
This wonderful commentary by Lawrie was posted on the mineweb.com Internet site yesterday...and although I've never met the man, I can tell from his picture on the web page, that he'd look pretty spiffy in a tinfoil hat. It's a must read for sure...and the link is here.

Aben Resources (TSX.V: ABN) is a Canadian gold and silver exploration company with a focus on developing properties in the Yukon and Northwest Territories. The Company owns a 100% interest in the 18,314 acre Justin Gold Project located in SE Yukon. A 2,020 metre diamond drill program was carried out in 2011 to test never before drilled zones. Aben made a significant new greenfields gold discovery when it intercepted 60m of 1.19 g/t Au in hole JN11009 at the POW Zone. Additionally, a new high grade silver-copper zone was discovered at the Kangas Zone with hole JN11003 returning 1.07m of 7320 g/t Ag (234 oz/ton) and 3.52% Cu. Aben carried out an aggressive exploration and drill program in 2012 to follow up on the initial discoveries. The first drill hole in 2012, JN12011, returned 46.4m of 1.49 g/t Au and extended the gold mineralization at the discovery zone 85 metres laterally. The Company has four other prospective Yukon and NWT projects in its portfolio along with a seasoned management and geological team. Aben's chairman, Ron Netolitzky, is credited with exploration success on numerous properties including three Western Canadian gold and silver projects which became producing mines.

Wood burns faster when you have to cut and chop it yourself. - Harrison Ford
Well, the new technical fund longs that rushed into the market on Wednesday got their heads handed to them by JPMorgan et al about twenty-four hours later. I don't know how much the Commercial traders made off that one-day trade, but it wasn't peanuts. On paper they lose money all the way up during a rally, but ring the cash register during the inevitable engineered price decline that follows. They've been doing this for decades...and it's flat-our illegal...but who's going to stop them?
The last couple of trading days have not been kind to precious metals investors. The obvious price intervention in both the metals themselves and their associated equities, shows you just how desperate the powers-that-be have become. They're doing everything they can to keep the average investor as far away from the precious metals [and salvation] as they possibly can. The message they sent in the last couple of days is..."stay away, or you'll get burned."
This day-to-day noise is aggravating and, without question, wears down the average investor. But, underneath the surface in the precious metal markets, there are big changes going on that we just aren't privy to...and it's a good bet that they're tied in with the economic and political changes that are engulfing the entire planet at the moment.
The only thing that is certain, is that this situation can't go on forever...and I'd bet serious money that when the end does come, it will come suddenly...and probably on a weekend or overnight when no one is in a position to take advantage of it. You will either be all the way in...or all the way out when that moment arrives.
As Lawrie Williams pointed out in today's last story, the charts certainly indicate that an upside breakout is imminent...but as I've gone on about many times in the past, these chart looks the way they do because of JPMorgan and friends. Chris Powell's now-famous quote..."There are no markets anymore...only interventions"...applies in spades when viewing the 3-year charts in gold and silver posted below.

So we just have to wait it out...and continue to buy the dips if one is in a position to do that. However, speaking for myself, I've had all the dip-buying opportunities that I could ever want over the last thirteen years...and it's time to get this show on the road for real.
However, if you haven't yet done so, the precious metal stocks have never been this cheap versus the price of gold itself...and it certainly appears to be the time to take the plunge if you haven't already. So I'd like to remind you one more time that there's still an opportunity to either readjust your portfolio, or get fully invested in the continuing major up-leg of this bull market in both silver and gold...and I respectfully suggest that you take out a trial subscription to either Casey Research's International Speculator [junior gold and silver exploration companies], or BIG GOLD [large producers], with all our best [and current] recommendations...as well as the archives. Don't forget that our 90-day guarantee of satisfaction is in effect for both publications.
Today we get the latest Commitment of Traders Report for position held at the close of Comex trading on Tuesday...and based on the price action during the reporting week, there should be decent declines in the Commercial net short positions in both gold and silver. But whatever the report shows, I'll have all the numbers in tomorrow's column.
Gold and silver prices didn't do much in Far East trading on their Friday...and now that London has been open for a couple of hours, gold is up a dollar or so...and silver is down about 15 cents. Volumes are on the lighter side...and the dollar index isn't doing much, either.
That's it for today. The job numbers comes out at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time...and we'll find out instantly how the precious metals react to it...or are allowed to react to it.
See you here tomorrow.

Ryan O'Bryan's Tips for Becoming a World-Wide Music Superstar
Essentially, it's a look at several common events I've seen take place at nearly every concert I've been to in my life that I transformed into "tips" for all aspiring musicians looking to become rock stars regardless of musical style.
The only changes I made for this re-publishing was the removal of a few naughty words. Outside of that, I've left the majority of the transcript as I wrote it back in 2004. Reading through it again, my observations are still as relevant today as they were back then. Enjoy!
How to be a Rock Star in Just a Few Simple Steps
ATTENTION ALL ASPIRING ROCK BANDS/MUSICIANS! Want to hit the big time? Want to be worshipped by thousands upon thousands of fans? It's much easier than you think. But before we get started let me explain that I am not a rock star, nor am I trained in any way, shape, or form to teach people how to do much of anything. I have simply attended enough concerts in my day to have figured out how it all works, so sit back, read on, and get ready to ROCK OUT!
1. Form a band.
No talent? NO PROBLEM! You can be the bass player.
Make sure at least one song is a big radio hit. (Write about love gone wrong, everyone can relate to that.) Don't worry if the rest of your CD sucks, your popularity will stem from your live show. Speaking of which…
3. Go on Tour
Your best bet at first will be to try and hook up with a better known band. This will get you in front of larger audiences. Also make sure you dish out the extra cash for a good sound system and a guy who knows how to run it because if you suck, he will know how to make you sound like you know what you're doing.
Before I continue, keep in mind steps 2 & 3 will cost you quite a bit of money at first. But rest assured that one day you'll look back and laugh at the days of living off Ramen Noodles and sleeping in your 1984 Dodge "tour bus". Moving on…
Pay close attention to the remainder of these steps, as they all take place during your "show."
4. Begin Your Show
Keep in mind people are there to be entertained. Any type of lights, stage decoration, and/or "eye candy" is highly encouraged. However don't go overboard, remember they are there to see you. You want the audience to be excited to see you…so make them wait as long as possible without upsetting them. This means bringing down the lights and having your sound man play music or sound effects that start out slow and quiet then eventually build into a loud, almost obnoxious climax. While all this is going on, take the stage and get into a position. If you're the lead singer, this means putting most of your weight on the microphone and looking at the floor.
Time everything out so that when the lights come on and the sound effects stop you kick into the first song of your set. This song needs to get everyone's attention. Pick a song that starts with screaming or a snare drum pop, and has a really good groove that everyone can jump up and down to.
5. Mention the City's Name
You can never do this enough! It is also a tremendous help if you tell them how much you love their town. For example: "What's up Evansville? Thanks for being here, we love comin' to play for you guys, you're always good to us." Also be sure to throw in the city's name somewhere in your biggest hit. If you have to re-write a lyric – DO IT! Their reaction with be well worth it.
6. Curse…ALOT!
People will love to hear you curse. It's like having HBO, they paid good money to see you and they want it uncensored. If possible make every other word out of your mouth filthy, even if it makes no sense. Curse so much that sailors are impressed. Combine this with step number…
7. Call the Audience Names
This somewhat goes back to step 5 in the fact that by calling your fans names, you acknowledge their presence, and they eat that up. Also urge them to be violent. For example: "What the 'F' is up you f-ing Mother F-ers! Are you f-ing ready to tear some f-ing s–t up?!?! Even if they cheer as loud as humanly possible, always be sure to follow up with, "I can't f-ing hear you! They will scream until their vocal cords bleed.
8. Alcohol Rules!
You don't have to be drunk to do this, but at some point in the evening tell your audience about how drunk, wasted, hammered, and/or, f-ed up (see step #7) you were last night, are now, or plan to be as soon as you finish "rockin' their asses!" This is another way to relate to the crowd. If you make them think you enjoy drinking yourself stupid on a regular basis, you give them the idea that they are like you and that is the whole point.
Repeat steps 4 – 9 at every show on your tour. Once the tour is over, repeat steps 2 – 9 until your so huge that you can afford to only put out a CD and go on tour once every 4 or 5 years. Following these instructions to the last detail will turn people into sheep. They will kill for you if you ask (I don't suggest it).
You're probably wondering what I charge for this gold mine of information…$99.99? $59.99? $19.99? Would you believe that I've given you all this money-making info absolutely free? Believe it! All I ask in return is that you step on me lightly as you climb your way to the top…and maybe a guitar pick.

Nowadays, camera straps are a big thing in the camera world. And why wouldn't they be? The world today is about personalization. Everything we buy can be customized to our satisfaction. Some car companies now will even paint your car any color that you would like (for a small fee, of course ). We now have more camera strap companies than ever before, and that is not a bad thing. Some may say it's a waste to "bling" your camera out but hey, it's YOUR camera, and you can add whatever you want to it. I remember when I first received my M3, I wanted a leather strap so badly for it. I wanted that old school look to really resonate from my camera. I was 12 then, and at that time, they didn't really have any third party camera strap companies. Now, they do, and one company that has earn the respect of many photographers is Artisan & Artist. I spoke of Artisan & Artist straps before in my ACAm-280 Kobe Strap review, and today, I will be showing you the Artisan & Artist ACAM-301 silk cord.
Artisan & Artist ACAM-301 Woven Silk Cord Build Quality:
One of the reasons for why Artisan & Artist can command such high prices on their straps is because you really get a quality built product. The Artisan & Artist ACAM-301 woven silk cord is no exception to this rule. You're first greeted with a plain, and simple black box. When you finally take your strap out, you know you bought a quality product because you can see all of the intricate detail, and craftsmanship that goes into making this wonderful strap. The photos of this silk cord do not do it justice; the silk cord looks absolutely awesome in person. Seriously, this is a really nice strap…in my opinion, a better strap than the leather ones that Artisan & Artist makes......

Hi everyone,
I was searching the internet for a nice hat pattern and I came across this free- for-personal use pattern for a "double-knit" hat:
I like it because it is essentially 2 hats in one and therefore warm! It is also reversible.
Here's my attempt:
Oops, I forgot to add that the lady at that website also has a cute beginners hat project which looks like it would be great fun to knit:
WOW! That is CUTE! Ive been looking for something to make for my brother & that may be it. BUT, this chick needs to see Amy's video on double knitting....where she does both colors in a row at once.
Just now discovered Double-knitting! :?? Do you knit 1 stitch and slip 1 all in the same motion?!
I just posted HERE about the beginnings and my method for making this hat. CHECK ME OUUUT! :cheering:
Oh cool. I have questions about double knitting. --edited seconds after posting so i wouldn't hijack the thread--

Submitted to: Quarterly Review of Biology
Publication Type: Literature Review
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/15/2003
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: A review is presented of the book Plant Physiology: Characteristics, Breeding and Genetics (Dris & Barry-Ryan) which was created from 26 papers presented at a workshop held in 2002 and had the stated focus of examining "factors affecting physiological changes occurring during the growth and development of plants and the application to crop breeding." Although the papers were peer-reviewed, the quality was generally far below what one expects in published material. A redeeming feature is that many papers were from authors located in countries that are seldom represented in English-language publications. The suggestion is made that this type of publication is better presented through a web site.
Technical Abstract: None required.

745 door handle bulbs
anyone know what kind of bulbs are in the door handles of the 745Li id like to replace them with a more xenon looking led like in the new models
look up the part number, and then call your local dealer and ask them. Most likely its a 5 or 10 watt bayonet style bulb mounted inside a reflector housing just like the angel eyes.
i believe its the part no. 06 but wtf is that???? it says light module but that looks intense to me
sorry its a good site bro but it confuses the **** out of me lol can you kinda explain it to me or find the bulb im looking for cause i have no clue.
i have a 2004 745Li so i think you would click E66->745Li->10/2003
I think it's number 13. #6 is the light module that actually feeds the light to the door handle output. Anyone know anything more about this?
13 Halogen Lamp 10w 4 63318371610 $12.05
Ntb 760?
P.S. Sorry to steal your thread Triggerhappy1 :p
Was in the shop every 3 weeks for 7 days on average for a year+.
BMW bought it back and gave me a loaded 2006 750Li in its place, and when i say loaded i mean loaded. Has every single option but the sports package.
thanks well so its a 10w halogen bulb... hm well im wondering if i can figure out the exact bulb . and does anyone know how to access this bulb? i dont want to tear up the whole door panel just to change this little bulb.
I told you before and Im telling you again...you MUST remove the door panel to get to this bulb.
If you dont want to open up the door panel just to see what kind of bulb it is and if anyone even makes it in hyperwhite or LED, then go to the dealer and buy the bulb. Then you can see exactly what style it is. My bet is that its a bayonet style bulb, probably a Ba9
My friends has had the same story....
Also last week they ordered a new differential......wats left? The Engine :mad:
So do you miss the fridge in the rear seats :angel: and the full leather with suede headliner :bigpimp:
why dont you two love birds start a new thread about the 760 or pm each other. Lets keep the thread technical and on topic. =)
you jealous or somethin :rolleyes:
okay i get your point....:eeps:
Im really interested in this door LED.. someone done this?? Not sure if i want to be the guinea pig on ripping apart my interior.
Does anyone think the "hyperwhite" door leds will clash with the yellow interior lights when you unlock the vehicle?
probably not.. esp if you have tint.. it will look pretty sweet
You can go out N the dark garage and just hit the button to light it up and not even need to turn on the lights. Pretty nice.
all the new 5 series and 3 series have xenon colored leds and they look really nice even with the yellow interior light
I think the xenon colored LEDs with the yellow interior light looks awful. The new Caddy DTS has xenon colored LEDs in the overhead console and regular yellow lights in the bottom of the doors, looks like crap together.
Actually the bulb size is a Ba9....
I went on Ebay and I bought 4 LED in Ba9 size...the only problem here is removing the door panel, it sucks and is really hard because you don't want to do a mess in your door panel, there's 5 screws you need to remove, one is behind the air bag plastic emblem, 2 in the middle of door, one behind the handle, and another small one in theplastic party closer to the body of the car. Then after that you need to pull really hard to release the plastic retainers, pulling from the bottom.
Then there's a little black cylinder and the bulb is there inside.
error free right?
Wow, 5 years later someone is serious about doing this. Please take pictures. You will be the first one!
I just learned that the you don't need any error free lights in courtesy lights, interiors.... I'll do it this , I'll keep you guys posted...
And most of the lights the car uses are equivalent to t10 in LED.
The only ones you need to be error free are reverse lights, license plates, stop, angel eyes, turn and that's it.
Its 100% true about fiber optics, there's a small chamber with the bulb inside and a fiber optic cable all the wary up to the door handle, but the bulb is replaceable.
You only need 2 sizes of torx screwdrivers 30 and 10 to remove the door.
Do u guys have a pic of the bulb or link on ebay by any chance.

EU should halve meat, dairy consumption to cut nitrogen-report
* Nitrogen can pollute water, air and soil
* Halving meat consumption could cut nitrogen emissions by 40 pct
By Nina Chestney
LONDON, April 25 (Reuters) - People in the European Union, who according to a United Nations body eat way more protein than necessary, could prompt big cuts in nitrogen pollution if they halved their meat and dairy consumption, a U.N.-backed report said on Friday.
Nitrogen is used in fertiliser to replace nutrients which are removed by soils during plant growth but excess nitrogen can harm the environment by polluting water, air and soil.
Nitrogen can also be released into the air by animal manure or as nitrous oxide, the third most potent greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane.
Currently, 6.5 million to 8 million tonnes a year of nitrogen escape into the environment due to agricultural practices. That represents around 80 percent of nitrogen emissions from all sources, said the study by the United Nations' Economic Commission for Europe's (UNECE) Task Force on Reactive Nitrogen.
Around 79-88 percent of total emissions in the EU related to nitrogen are from livestock production. The nitrogen footprint of meat and dairy is considerably higher than that from plant-based products, the report added.
"If all people within the EU would halve their meat and dairy consumption, this would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by 25 to 40 percent, and nitrogen emissions by 40 percent," lead author Henk Westhoek, program manager for Agriculture and Food at the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, said in a statement.

If you block her from facebook, she will not be able to read your comments or postings, or see your photos.
The two children have an interest in both enjoying a relationship with their father and with their half-siblings. Until the father is out of jail, it is probably best to avoid contact. When he is out, the three of you should work out a co-parenting arrangement, so that it is clear when the children will each visit with their father, when such visits will overlap, etc. Having a totally separate relationship from the other mother and the half-sister is not practicable. Do you really want your daughter to only see her dad every other Christmas, or only for half a day on Christmas? Will she really want to not be invited to her sister's birthday party, and to not have her sister at her own birthday?
The family court may offer mediation services that will be useful to the three of you. Mediators are neutral, and usually know what arrangements have worked in the past for other families.

Ask a Vet and Get Your Veterinary Questions Answered.
Hmm....I am not entirely sure the diagnosis was correct. Those coughing fits may have been more hacking fits and associated with the stomach and vomiting problem.
There may have never been a respiratory problem.
My primary concerns for vomiting include:
- Dietary indiscretion (eating something you do not know about)
- Stomach or intestinal foreign body
- Something that was given to them (new dog food, new treat, human food)
- Intestinal parasitism (not just the worms, but the microscopic bugs like Giardia and Coccidia). They can cause vomiting also, not just diarrhea
- Toxin exposure would be less likely, unless you have reason to suspect exposure to a chemical.
To help settle the stomach you could try one of the following drugs. My favorite product is Pepcid (an over-the-counter antacid).
Pepcid comes in 10mg or 20mg tablets. You can give it every 12 hours.
Pepto-Bismol (NOT TO BE USED IN CATS)
However, it really sounds like you may have to get back into the vet, or perhaps, another vet for a second opinion and better supportive medications than I can offer from here.
, here is a bland diet recommendation:
Boiled boneless, skinless chicken breast
Cooked white rice
Low-fat cottage cheese
*Never add on salt, pepper, oils, butter to any of the above
*Ideally, give 1/3 chicken or cottage cheese, and 2/3 white rice
*Sometimes, you will see cooking hamburger meat being recommended and taking off the fat. I try to avoid this option as it can exacerbate pets that may have pancreatitis. Chicken works great.
Veterinarians will often prescribe some prescription bland diets like Science Diet I/D or Iams Low-residue. Both are wonderful options.
1. Abdominal x-rays to look for foreign bodies, masses, and intestinal wall changes.
2. A basic blood test for an overall health assessment.
3. A fecal test to check for intestinal parasites (not just worms, but also microscopic bugs like giardia and coccidia)
That's about the most info I can provide.
I hope that is helpful.

can the antibiotics be causing her stomach problems to continue and cause her symptoms?
Absolutely. That's the tricky part. I am not permitted to direct you to stop giving the antibiotic. I am sure you understand. If there is a upper respiratory infection, and it gets worse, it would be my fault.
I can only advise I what I have said so far and how to help settle the stomach.
Dr. Andy
i understand. Coughing is no longer an issue. I will finish out the last 2 pills today and closely monitor her to see if she improves. If not then a second opinion will definitely be looked into.
Sounds like a plan. Good Luck

On Friday, July the 22nd, Norway was attacked by terrorists.
Almost 100 people are confirmed killed.
As i write this, over 150.000 people are gathered in downtown Oslo, the capitol of Norway, to show their support to the victims of this gruesome attack.
In a speech given only 10 mintues ago, crown prince Haakon of Norway says: "Tonight, our streets are filled with love".
A German newspaper wrote: "Even in their deepest sorrow the norwegians don't get hysterical. They resist the hate. It is amazing to see how politicians and the whole country reacts. They are sad to the deepest thread of their souls. They cry in dignity. But nobody swears to take revenge. Instead they want even more humanity and democracy. That is one of the most remarkable strengths of that little country

Show Super Hidden File Extensions (All Windows) Popular
Even when you have configured Windows to display all file extensions, there are still some which remain hidden. This allows potentially dangerous files to be masked as safe files, fooling the user into executing them. This tweak helps expose those file extensions.
|This tweak can be easily applied using WinGuides Tweak Manager.
Download a free trial now!
It is possible for a malicious user to name a file so that it looks safe to open, when in fact it may be executable containing dangerous content.
For example, a file could be displayed as "readme.txt" in explorer, when it fact it is really name "readme.txt.shs" but since the ".shs" portion of the filename is hidden it is impossible to tell it apart from a simple text file. Then once a user double-clicks to open this file, instead of seeing a text page as expected, the file will be executed by Windows as a scrap object and potentially harm the system.
To remove the potential to hide files, open your registry and using the search function find each occurance of a value named "NeverShowExt".
When this value is present the associated file extension will not be shown. To display the file extension highlight the "NeverShowExt" value and press Delete. Repeat this process for each extension you want to display.
Some common hidden extensions include:
Document Shortcut (.SHB)
Internet Shortcut (.URL)
File Shortcut (.LNK)
DOS Shortcut (.PIF)
Explorer Command (.SCF)
Shell Scrap Object (.SHS)
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.
|(value not set)
Value Name: NeverShowExt
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)

|A little verse I came across " until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." To all at the bridge, Thanks for the awaking!
That a particular dog could evoke such powerful feelings is a true testimony to how that dog graced your life.
We're so fortunate to have these things and many a life lesson is learned when we understand, there are no guarantees.
Miss my boy Zack...
It's weird though... I still think about him from time to time even though I got him when I was 8. He has been by far the best dog I've ever had. My grandpa got him for me and he just died of cancer 3 years ago. Those two were a big part of my life. Zack was like my best friend and my papa was more like my 2nd dad. When I think about my dog Zack always get sad and then it makes me think of my papa, or the other way around. Zack is the reason why I like the blanket backs so much and male dogs at that. It's nothing against females, tbh I don't know what it is. He lived live my papa and my grandma and mom, and me and my brother lived with my dad, and we'd go to my grandparents house all the time and I'd use to scream this weird bunched up words that would get him soooo exited! We had a jack Russell too named jack. He's in the picture and me Zack and Jack would go walking in the woods and Jack would bolt after a squirrel or whatever and Zack would follow but when I got scared I would yell his name and no matter where or what he was doing he would go back to me. When I first got him he had a little rat tail with no fur hehe, but sooner or later the hair grew on it. One day my papa picked me up and looked sad and I asked what's wrong and he told me that Zack got hit by a car a was killed... I didn't believe him at first because I thought he was laughing but it turned out he was crying barley.. He didn't really show emotion too much so I was balling and asked him why he was laughing but he nodded his head and wiped his eyes under his glasses and hugged me. I've never been so sad about something in my life, let alone lose something that was so special to me. He died about 6 months old by getting hit by a car in papas neighborhood... Since then they've put speed bumps bc people fly down a curve that you can't see the other side too and that's where Zack was hit. My papa is the reason I love German Shepherds so much. They honestly are great dogs. He had one that died of heart worms thy he got shipped to GA from DC. Her name was Heidi. Now she was a sable. Before my papa died of cancer he told me that he would either come back as a German Shepherd or he would let one find me. And since then all I've been having now are GS's. I miss my papa, & I miss Zack. They'll both forever have a special place in my heart! I'll see them both again one day hopefully thank y'all for this therapy session hahahaha... I could on figure out how to put one pic on here or I would put more... Attachment 199369

One of the hardest things to do as a parent is to take your child to the doctor. Not only does the child usually not want to go, but any good parent wants to avoid an emergency room full of contagious people. As such, it is important for the child's health that a parent know when to take a child to the hospital and when to just keep the child home.
In general, as long as the child's life is not in danger you may be better off waiting a little bit. This should be not be read as a general advisory to take your time getting the child to the hospital, but advice to use some judgment in the situation. A child may be able to suffer through the worst of the sickness and be perfectly fine, so there is some good reason to just keep the child home. However, a parent needs to keep an eagle eye out for potentially lethal diseases that all start with the same flu-like symptoms; what may seem like a regular childhood disease may end up being something far worse. Do not be afraid to be worried; when it comes to your child's health a little paranoia is not a bad thing and may keep the child alive.
As a parent you need to be able to differentiate between the flu and more dangerous diseases. Flu-like symptoms include running a fever, vomiting, some coughing, and some diarrhea; as long as these are mild just worry about making the child comfortable, administer aspirin, and keep the fluids coming. It is when these symptoms become more severe that you need to start worrying. This includes a fever over 102 degrees or a cough that will not let up or has actually started turning painful. When the child cannot keep anything down or is dry heaving for long periods, the parent should definitely worry. Also be nervous if the child has to go to the bathroom a lot; this can represent a severe loss in fluids that can be life-threatening in and of itself.
There are some other issues to look for when it comes to your child's health. Swelling under the armpits should definitely be a cause for concern, as that is where the major lymph nodes are located; if they are enlarged it means that the body is putting forth a lot of effort to get rid of something. Watch for any bruises that cannot be explained by a known source; if your child is developing lesions it is time to head to the emergency room. If blood shows up in the stools, urine, or vomiting, or even coughing, it is past time that the child be in the emergency room.
If the symptoms remain minor, then make sure that the child is well taken care of. Keep him rested, make sure that he is getting lots of fluids to replace those that he is losing, that foods are simple and not spicy, and administer some sort of medicine. The child's immune system is a remarkable thing, and can deal with a lot more than some parents realize. However, do not be afraid to head to the emergency room if it is needed: Your child's health should be paramount, and not being afraid of the emergency room is part of that.

Great video, I've used Arduino boards in numerous projects. They're quick to get going and cheap to use (esp. if you just burn the bootloader onto blank chips from SF/CPC/RS/Farnell).
I wish I could say the same about the ARM7 boards I've also used. Sure, they're more powerful and you can do more with them once you've figured out all their intricacies, but unless you 'need' that, why bother?
I won't enter into the PIC v Atmel holy war, but I do take issue with people banging on about FPGA's. For the majority of tasks, they would be a 'sledgehammer to crack a nut' solution, regardless of cost or development environment complexity. I fail to see why using something more difficult would make a solution better.
I'm a firm believer in choosing the right tool for the job. If a family friend wanted some advice on a computer for reading email and playing solitaire, I'm hardly going to recommend they buy a full on gaming rig when a £250 netbook would suffice.
I love the fact we now see people with no background in electronics building robots or autonomous vehicles, who 5 years ago wouldn't have even thought about doing anything with a micro controller. Anyone thinking that you should have an EE/CS degree before you even breathe on an IC is an idiot.
Let me firstly say that I love you guys, and Lady Ada. Not in 'that' way obviously. But you guys make some really excellent stuff.
I've never actually commented on a post here before. But, if I was going to poke some light-hearted fun at a fairly specific type of product, I wouldn't put a manufacturers name on it.
While I'm sure the vast majority of Velleman's staff are easygoing people (who may even get the joke), there's always going to be some humourless scrooge that's going to take offence, and it's usually someone in the legals department.
Anyways, keep up the good work and have a great Christmas and new years. Looking forward to the 7th!
No public wish lists :(
