After last week's lurch to the Coalition, the BludgerTrack poll aggregate is back where it was a fortnight ago after three stronger poll results for Labor, most notably from Newspoll.
The BludgerTrack yo-yo moves in Labor's direction this week, returning to almost exactly where it was a fortnight ago after lurching to 50.1-49.9 in favour of the Coalition last week. The movement last week was driven by a 51-49 lead to the Coalition in Nielsen, while this week's comes on the back of three strong results for Labor from Newspoll, Morgan and Essential, with the former having the greatest weight in the model. The primary vote results are notable for having the Greens at a new high for the current term, and a look at the charts suggests the recent move in their favour is more than just statistical noise.
On the seat projection, Labor is up 11 this week after losing 10 last week, the distribution of gains being two from New South Wales, one from Victoria, four from Queensland, two from Western Australia and one each from South Australia and the Northern Territory. This is the second week in a row that four seats have shifted on the Queensland projection, emphasising the point that the state remains a target-rich environment for marginal seats. Newspoll also provides a new set of results for leadership ratings, which produce only negligible shifts on last week's numbers.

Thommo pays for it – by David Rowe http://bit.ly/1l1mTwK
If only Quentin had used the reserve powers whilst there was still time !
Indeed, the dismissal of the good Sir Tony would be a fitting revenge.
Joe gets caught telling lies by the PBO.
[The analysis shows that if the Coalition had retained Labor's fiscal strategy of keeping spending growth to 2 per cent (after inflation) and holding taxes at no more than 23.7 per cent of GDP and had not made new spending commitments, the budget would be back in surplus by 2018-19, instead of the $29.1bn deficit implied by the Coalition's mid-year budget update. The surplus would rise from $1.8bn in that year to $45.8bn by 2023-24.
The PBO analysis said that with these assumptions, the net debt would be $110bn by 2023-24, not $370bn as forecast]
Good morning Dawn Patrollers.
What a murky mire of influence and corruption.
Brandis and Abbott are not making many friends with this move.
And it's fraught with political danger for them.
Woolies and Mathieson illustrate the golden rule – "don't get caught".
It should be worthwhile watching Bill Shorten at the NPC today.
Looks like the Catholic church is on the bones of its arse!
And not before time.

Sophie will do well with the ageing Professors at Melbourne Uni
[Former Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella will join the University of Melbourne as a Public Policy Fellow, contributing to public debates of national importance and helping teach students.
Over more than a decade in Federal Parliament, Mrs Mirabella served as Shadow Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research and sat on various Parliamentary Committees (including Foreign Affairs, Defence & Trade and Electoral Matters).
Mrs Mirabella said she's excited to be rejoining the University of Melbourne, where she previously studied Law and Commerce.
"I hope to be able to impart some real life experience about politics," she said. "It's one thing looking at 'Politics 101', it's another thing to look at how things actually operate."]
From last thread …

[It seems to me that Bolt got pinged because he named specific people rather than make a general observation. Am I wrong?]
No, you're not wrong.
Had Bolt simply made the claim that Aboriginality was something any non-Aboriginal could claim to secure social advantage and that there were some high profile people doing it, and that in his opinion, people who didn't seem black enough to him ought to be denied the benefits of claiming Aborginal status, then 18C could not have touched him because as offensive as such claims are, no specific person could have claimed they were defamed.
As a number of people, including the judge in the Bolt case, have said, it was not the right to offend that was examined here, but the right to defame a class of people using the claims of specific people within the class on the basis of their ethnic identity without the efforts to relate the claims to reality that would show a good faith belief.
If Bolt had not mentioned specific people as exemplars of his general point, the "reasonable man" might simply have treated Bolt's claims as bigoted venting, but the introduction of supporting evidence in the form of claims about specific people might incline said "reasonable man" to entertain the racially offensive claims, and assume other "insufficiently black" Aboriginals were fraudsters, and that indigenous identity was frivolous, arbitrary and spurious rent-seeking.
Re last nights Bolt discussion on the previous thread…
I can't quote exactly but the judge in the Bolt case specifically said the defence of good faith was not open to Bolt because the articles were riddled with inaccuracies and emotional language. In other words Bolt was dishonest and made up stuff.
This is the central point about the Bolt case and should be repeated whenever the subject comes up. Marcia Langton's 19 page essay the other day would have had a bigger impact if the first and last para hammered home this simple point. The judge said Bolt wrote crap. Can't be that hard to say.
Morning all. BK thanks for the links. I am unsurprised by the Sydney catholic churches reported $1.2 billion. That would only be for the Sydney diocese, and would not include assets held by various other religious orders. You could also add the value of various hospitals and schools owned by the church, which would be enormous.
As I said all along, their strategy has been to protect their money and keep Pell and friends out of jail, nothing else.
The reintroduction of knighthoods and damehoods is another exercise in turning the clocks back. Tony Wright lampoons it well. I can't wait for Lord Alan Jones of Toad Hall, or Baron Howard of Kirribilli. Sir Andrew Bolt will be knighted for pre-eminent service in restoring balance in journalism.
Abbott's characterisation of the honours also means that only a select few will get them. So there will be AOs for lesser beings in public service, research etc, and ex-pollies will get gongs.
I state now my refusal to ever say the word Sir in front of Chris Pyne's name, if it comes to that.
For those interested in Sir Toady brandis on LL last night
Sorry, link to Collett article
I see that Ms Hird will now not be attending the Essendon Board meeting. This offer was apparently leaked by someone to the MSM, although how and why it was supposed to be kept a dread secret is beyond yrs trly.
Anyway, some fool journo in the MSM then implied that she was being hauled in front of the Board.
So, in something of an apparent snit about the difference between personal volition and involuntary attendance, Ms Hird's offer is off the table.
'I am not a piece of cattle (sic),'she declared stoutly.
On the question of the status of "free speech" in pluralistic societies …
No society in the world
A) defines free speech as untrammelled expression of ideas
B) protects free speech
Even the most liberal and pluralistic jurisdictions impose constraints on the exercise of expression based on their conception of "the public good". It's obvious why this must be so. Any legitimate expression of the sovereignty of the community must take into account what will best serve their common interest, and when the exercise of a given act of free expression causes more harm than it is worth, states curtail it. Sometimes states overstep of course, overstating the harms associated with particular speech acts, but there can be no doubt that there is a line beyond which the permission to freely express a given thought would subvert legitimate community interests. The conclusion is forced: free speech is not an absolute right or one that can inevitably vitiate other rights or legitimate interests, but rather, one that is simply part of a mix of broader claims to freedom people have.
It is fair to say that the right to express ideas without legal or extra-legal harassment is an important indicator of the degree of freedom in a given society and therewith the legitimacy of governments issuing from the political processes obtaining, but to fetishise it as many in the right do when it suits them is pure cant. These folk aren't troubled at all by defamation laws, laws against publication of prurient material involving children, insider trading, industrial and military espionage, contempt of court or violation of privacy, publication of addresses of people in the witness protection program and probably one or two other things I haven't mentioned.
Such laws seek to reconcile other interests the community has with the broader desire not to be imposed upon by the state. People want freedom, but most realise that unless some freedoms are curtailed, in practice their total freedom will be prejudiced.
So the question becomes not a boolean — free speech or not? — but rather, a more complex set of questions — which curtailments and by which parties in what circumstances and with what sanctions serve the public interest?
Sections 18C and 18D seem to strike this balance pretty well. One can support these while still claiming to support free speech.
Brandis says that it should not be for the law to regulate people offending each other ….. offending others is part of our free speech entitlement.
I can see all the Premiers rushing to repeal their Offensive Behaviour laws today.
I can hear all the cops breathing a sigh of relief that they will not now have to arrest those who merely tell them "goandfuckyourselfyoumotherfuckinsonofabitch" when asked to move on.
A bit too "social pages" for PB, but in the light of the PM's newest push for titles…
[IT was Margie Abbott's first speaking engagement since her husband became prime minister, and she took to the podium with style and grace.
But when it comes to protocol, you can throw it out the 36th floor window of the Sydney CBD hotel where Mrs Abbott was on Tuesday to support the Pink Hope foundation.
"That term 'First Lady' I feel very uncomfortable with it – I'm certainly a lady but I'm not the first," she told AAP.
And as far as addressing her as Mrs Abbott, forget it, it's Margie.
Looking stunning in a soft pink dress and a smart new hair cut, Mrs Abbott said "she was honoured" to take part in the launch of the The Lucky One, the memoir of Pink Hope founder Krystal Barter.]
[What are the world's riskiest cities when it comes to natural disasters? For the insurance industry it seems an ever-more urgent question, so last year one reinsurance company set out to assess 616 cities around the world for their risk of earthquake, hurricanes and cyclones, storm surge, river flooding and tsunami. Here are Swiss Re's overall top 10 most risky cities]
[TONY Abbott has been forced on the defensive over proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act that have sparked claims the government is giving bigotry and racism its blessing.
The Prime Minister yesterday insisted he was maintaining the red light on inciting racial hatred but removing the amber light on free speech.
As Coalition MPs peppered Mr Abbott and George Brandis with questions on the plan yesterday, there was also some anger in government ranks that the Attorney-General's comment on Monday that people had "a right to be bigots" had mobilised public opinion against the changes.]
Those remarks by Brandis were a definite own goal. The man really says the weirdest things at the strangest times.
There is a puff piece on Margie Abbott in the Australian today about her about to be an 'empty nester'.
[FINDING the balance between being a mother to three daughters and the Prime Minister's wife is something Margie Abbott has grown accustomed to.
But for the first time in 25 years of juggling family life with her husband's stellar political career, Mrs Abbott will be a full-time first lady with all three daughters moving away from their home in Sydney.]
[According to the press release, there is hidden within the painting "numerous symbolic artefacts, each holding personal significance for the governor general and her connection to the Australian people", including objects that testify to "her commitment to women's groups and equal rights, respect for Indigenous culture and community, and gratitude and admiration for the armed forces".
I'll leave it to the viewer to determine whether it's the brooch on Bryce's suit jacket or the pen in her hand that comments on her gratitude and admiration for the armed forces.
Instead, I'd like to offer another interpretation. Bryce is looking out of her office, not into a sunset, but into the recent past: she's wondering why, in the age of photography, status and importance are still enshrined in paint, and why such pedestrian art is celebrated as worthy.]
Tony Abbott, the best male Minister for Women the civilised world has ever known, has decided he is going to promote the cause of women even more by bestowing upon those females who perform particular designated roles, the title of "Dame".
Cue Tones singing, "There is nothing like a dame" from the musical, "South Pacific".
We got typists in the pool
We got servants a plenty
We got blond secretaries who make
Filing their nails look easy
We got synchronised swimming
And other girlie games
What's to top it off?
We just need dames!
:- )
All these liberated women
Think they're just the bee's knees
But I've got some news for them
They'll soon be calling me, "Your Liege"
If they want to find their place in life
There's always the kitchen sink
Why don't they get it?
Too inclined to think!
:- )
There is nothin' like a dame,
Nothin' in the world,
For the ironing they are game
There is nothing like a dame!
:- )
Why feel restless, why feel blue,
Why feel lonely, and in grief,
Being a good housewife will bring
Mighty feelings of relief
Why wish for opportunities
That are better left to us males
When all the nuns
I'm gonna make dames!
:- )
There is nothin' like a dame,
Nothin' in the world,
For them no fortune or fame, cos it
Ain't part of bein' a dame!
(except when you've been sucked in
Or are a good loyal girl)
We already know this, but I suppose it's good to have it recorded.
[As parliamentary umpire, Bishop could have used her imperious manner to have all members shaking in their boots. She could have cracked her whip to set new heights for parliamentary standards.
Alas, Bishop looks to be failing her own brief.]
Barry Marshall defends Brandis and the govt over 18c.
Boerwar #32
"Brandis is a walking, talking offense to most decent Australians."
Never a truer statement.
IMHO like Bishop the "Speaker", I think Brandis knows in his heart that he's out of his depth, and compensates by bullish behaviour.
Both of them have a modus operandi of a bulldozer, and I suspect that they are both intent on running over anyone or everyone to get in first and ensure that the truth doesn't out … the truth that they are both know all know nothings.
An insightful PM would be very concerned that he has a Speaker like Bishop, and an A-G who spruiks the virtues of bigotry.
Napthine Govt are sweetening up the public for re-election in November
William had linked image of front page of the courier mail earlier on
Here it is again
Good Morning
Sir Darn.
Its a perfect storm reveling values to the public. Punishing war orphans, let there be bigots, honours changes. All with the background of Senator Sinodinos going to ICAC and good mate Cardinal Pell at the Royal Commission into child abuse.
Too much for Murdoch's mob to cover. Even as they try and minimise the news of the polling disaster this government is. On twitter someone noted it was the smallest space given to a Newspoll in its history.
So bad the Courier Mail has accepted the symbolic shambles with its front page to their credit. Boats and carbon "tax" and budget emergency debts are not going to pull the LNP out of the mire.
I think history will be saying this month of March is where Abbott became a One Term PM.

Work details
Daddy by Loup Durand (1987)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Translated from the french version, hard to get your hands on, but worth the effort to find it -- DADDY by Loup Durand. This strangely-titled book is a thriller set in the 1940's. Thomas, an exceptional 11-year old, holds the complicated codes to 724 Swiss bank accounts. The Nazis want him -- badly. Their operative is a sadistic, highly intelligent Gestapo chief. His mission is to kidnap the child and force him to give over the codes. Although there is plenty of action in this novel, the plot expands like a carefully played psychological chess game between the depraved military man and the young genius, and the stakes are Life and Death. Recommended.
If you like stories about supermen this is the book for you.Three characters have genius IQ's One is a perfect,never miss shot--he also is always at the protagonist's side but never seen..the evil German would be kidnapper is one of the geniuses and each of his actions is spoiled only by the ineptness of his aides. Characters have immense fortunes at their disposal and connections at the highest levels in Swiss banking circles, in Germany's highcommand and in American International Business and Banking. A 12 year old boy with a granite like memory has memorized the account numbers and addresses of thousads of Jewish Germans and must be protected from capture...If this is your type of book, you won't find better.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
You will first have to determine if that country has a double tax avoidance treaty with US. It is possible that based on that treaty gains from sale of such property will be taxed only by the country where the property is located. Hence you may not owe any tax on the gain from sale of such property in US. And, the child can bring the money is US.
If it is subject to capital gain tax than your original cost basis in the property plus any gift tax paid by the donor is considered as the cost basis for the recipient of the gift.
Let me know if you have any question. Bonus and Feedback will be highly appreciated!!!
Please note: This advice is provided with the understanding that all the relevant facts have been provided by you. Any change in facts might affect the advice given and hence may not be relied on in such cases.
US-Greece do have a tax treaty (see link below) however, it does not cover capital gains.
Hence, gains will be subject to tax in US. This will be long term capital gains in US taxed upto a maximum of 15%. You will also get a credit for taxes paid in Greece on this income in US and hence your US tax liability on this gain will be lowered to that extent.
Original cost basis is calculated based on what the parents paid for when they bought the property. Parents do not pay gift tax now as the gift took place long back and as it is gift upto $ 1 mn. are not subject to gift tax at they can be excluded(life time exclusion). But they were required to file a gift tax return when they gave the gift if they were US citixen of resident at the time gift was given.

akai 1730d-ss R2R motor wiring
Hi All,
I took apart an old Akai 1730D-SS reel to reel tape deck and would like to use the motor for other applications.
Can anybody help me with a connection schema?
The motor is a two speed AC synchronous motor with six wires coming out.
Thanks in advance.

I think we will sign this player as cover for Downing's replacement personally. Him and player x to compete for the right wing slot.
He doesn't seem anything like a right winger to me
Personally, I think that we will sign Aspas as competition for Downing at the right sided attacking position.
He doesn't seem anything like a right winger to me, I wouldn't mind him and Atsu. I'm in favour of having more players in attack than needed that way there is always competition and those who are unhappy are more likely to be those further down in the pecking order.Suarez, Sturridge, Coutinho, Borini, Henderson, Sterling, Aspas and Atsu fighting for 4 places will bring out the best in them.
If Celta do go down, you'd think there would be a lot more teams in for him than just us.
If I had to pick one thing that like about Rodgers, I would say that I love the fluidity of his attacking system, and the fact that the attacking players in his system don't have a fixed position. I know that most of us are still thinking in terms like "target man/lone striker", "second striker", "right winger" and "left winger", but these terms have absolutely no meaning in Rodgers' attacking system.
Cant see why we can have Aspas, Downing, and your player X in our squad. Suso may go on loan, Assaidi should be sold, and maybe Shelvey may go (loan/sale), so there's definitely space.Suarez, Sturridge, Borini, Sterling, Coutinho, Downing, Aspas, new player. That's a good line.Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Allen for the CM places.
You should literally be skinned for such a fucking daft answer
That would not be a bad thing to bring in another striker who knows where the goal is given that Suarez is suspended for a long stretch and Sturridge is our only centreforward.
Celta have to lose their last game to go down, right?
The last 5 teams in La Liga: Pts Pld W D L GF GA16 Osasuna 39 37 10 9 18 31 4617 Deportivo 35 37 8 11 18 47 69-------------------------------------------------------------------18 Celta 34 37 9 7 21 36 5219 Zaragoza 34 37 9 7 21 36 5920 Mallorca 33 37 8 9 20 39 7In other words, for Celta to stay they have to win and Deportivo have to lose or draw their last game, so it's not entirely up to them.
Just clicked on the main board and my virus scanner came back with this"When we visited this site, we found it exhibited one or more risky behaviors."
He seems like another Sturridge, not sure we need two of those.
You're right, Sturridge has been terrible.
I didn't mean it to come across like that - Sturridge has been good but we don't need two Sturridge's, not sure they would link together well and it's pretty pointless having two similar players, even if it was two Falcao's for example. I think we'd be better off getting someone like Son.
I was being flippant, but I take your point. We can't rely on Sturridge all season though, either in terms of form or fitness, and if we build our team to include someone playing in his 'style' then a backup Sturridge would be extremely useful.That's just assumign they wouldn't fit in the same team, which they might.
on a wage of £26k p/w. (Cadena SER)
We knew that Aspas on his official Twitter account was following spanish LFC twitter,but today he started to follow a Premier league account too.also Twitter: Celta Vigo's Iago Aspas will sign for Liverpool for £7.7m on a wage of £26k p/w. (Cadena SER)
IT'S A LIE!I've heard he'll be on 126K p/w.
Hodgson was a decent manager, without doubt in the top 1% of Football managers
For every pound Kolo Toure earns, Aspas will earn a penny.So that is correct, it'll be £26k a week.
Pounds earnt? Last time he had weight issues he ended up with a 6month ban!
That is true but so far we haven't seen him linked to bigger clubs than us. Only seen Valencia and Swansea links and with all due respect, we're a bigger team than both of them and should be able to offer him better wages than either of those 2 teams would. Unless he's looking to go to a team and be a regular first team member or stay close to his family in Spain, I don't see any other reason why he might want to join them clubs over us and I really doubt many bigger teams will be looking at him.

Now, I'm guessing that all this stuff sounded good during the briefings, meetings and presentations that must have taken place early on in the development cycle, and in many respects Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity is a perfectly competent game. The graphics aren't exactly stunning - I could have been told that this was a 2004 GameCube game and only the odd water effect would have made me bat an eyelid - but a few of the tracks have spectacular stretches, and the character modelling and animation is up to the usual Sonic standard (albeit not the standard of the Wii-specific Sonic and the Secret Rings, which remains the Hedgehog's most visually attractive game). The music is also pretty good if you're a fan of the silly Sonic school of eighties Rock. If I hadn't actually played the thing, I might think it was a decent enough title for the kids.
Unfortunately (for me) I have played the thing, and it's only when you have the controller in your hands that Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity falls apart. You control the game ExciteTruck style, holding the Wii remote horizontally and tilting it left and right to move left and right and forwards and backwards to accelerate and brake. Unfortunately, here the controls don't work so well - half the time you're tilting the remote almost vertical to get around a corner, the other half you're over-correcting and bouncing from wall to wall to wall. I hoped this was something I'd adjust to with time, but several hours into the game I started to suspect that it might not be all me, but that the controls simply aren't sensitive enough to cope with the game's twisting tracks. I've been told that it's more playable with a GameCube controller plugged-in but a) I don't have one to hand and b) call me strange, but shouldn't a game work properly with this system's default controller?
The track design doesn't exactly help either. Each one is full of places that can catch you or slow you down for a vital split-second, and while the idea of having different routes available to different characters with different vehicle upgrades is quite a good one, actually triggering an alternate route is usually more a case of luck than judgement.
Combine the above two factors with a third - the fact that your robot rivals go like the clappers, make use of secret routes and never make a mistake - and you have a recipe for intense frustration. I like to think that I'm reasonably good at racing games, but Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity had me stymied time after time after time. Even when I did proceed, I always felt it was more a case that I'd fluked it this time, rather than I'd learnt the track or upped my game. The simple fact is that unless you master the controls and understand all the quite complex game mechanics, you haven't got a hope of getting anywhere in Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity. Making races this tricky then expecting you to finish first, or else, simply doesn't make any sense at all - and remember that this is a game aimed at kids!

Disclaimer: Characters and situations owned by Babylonian Productions and JMS.
Spoilers: For all five seasons of Babylon 5; more obscurely for the Psi Corps trilogy.
Thanks to: Karabair, who was there for me on short notice!
Author's note: This story was written for the Remix Redux Ficathon 2008, based on "To Memories, Comitted" by Leyenn. You can find the original story here:
The title is an incomplete quote of a quote: "I have become death, the destroyer of worlds," is the quote from the Mahabharata Oppenheimer recited after the first successful test of the atom bomb. It seemed very fitting for Lyta and her arc.
I Have Become (Death) (The J. Robert Oppenheimer Remix)
Years ago, long before either of them had even heard of Babylon 5, Alfred Bester told Lyta Alexander that the truth wouldn't set her free. "It will circumscribe you," he said. She was a young intern then, and she had just watched him deal with a serial killer who preyed on telepaths. Bester's method of dealing had made the serial killer look like the more harmless person. The whole incident ended Lyta's short-lived ambition to work for MetaPol.
She hadn't believed him, of course. But like many of the platitudes that smug son of a bitch uttered in her presence, it had become true, in its own, twisted way.
You never forget your first. Lyta had injured a couple of people when leaving the Corps after they attempted to debrief her about Kosh, but she hadn't actually killed anyone until Talia Winters. She had known it was inevitable, of course. Whoever carried the Control personality inside would be wiped out once the password was sent. The Control program wasn't just your usual activation of a dormant secondary personality, with the first personality still intact, just surpressed; it was a complete replacement. Which meant that the original personality would be dead, and whoever sent the pass word would have killed her. It was necessary, Lyta had told herself in advance. Necessary to expose the spy, necessary to keep Babylon 5 safe. But she hadn't counted on Control being another telepath. It had seemed far too obvious for the Corps.
She hadn't counted on it being Talia.
The last time she saw Bester before leaving Babylon 5 with G'Kar, he was being treated for a gunshot wound in Medlab. Lyta wasn't supposed to be there, of course. Like Garibaldi, she had been told to stay in her quarters for the duration of Bester's time on the station. Unlike Garibaldi, she had no problem making people believe she did just that while entering Medlab at her leisure. What was left of her old scruples had been burned away when Byron died, and her anger and grief all but consumed her as she watched Stephen Franklin treat Bester like any other patient.
Bester noticed her. She meant him to. She wanted him to be aware of who killed him before she struck.. What she didn't expect was the familiar echo printed into his psyche.
You didn't? That surprises me, Bester 'cast at her, weariness mixed with anger of his own, but no fear. After all, you know what happens when you don't separate quickly enough from another telepath who dies, don't you, Lyta?
There was a difference, though. He had tried to reach Byron, to stop Byron from killing himself, to stop the others, too, and hadn't been nearly fast enough to shield himself when they had died. Their death screams, bound by the fragment of Byron's psyche that Bester had managed to touch, would remain with him until he died.
Lyta turned around and left Medlab without doing anything at all. He was still wrong, though. This wasn't what had happened with Talia at all.
You never forget your first. It hadn't been a romance, exactly. Between her arranged marriage and her crush on her mentor Ironside, Talia Winters wasn't really available anyway. But she and Lyta had known each other, two young telepaths hungry for an off-world assignment, impatient to get away from the sterile comforts of Geneva. They had been friends, of a sort. When Lyta had gotten her assignment, they had celebrated, had gotten drunk together, and between Lyta's joy and Talia's frustrations about her husband and Ironside both, they had indulged in one night of no-strings, no-regrets sex; that was how Lyta had lost the rest of her virginity.
Lyta hadn't thought about it in ages. She did when seeing Talia again, but it didn't stop her. She sent the password. It wasn't until the wave of horror and betrayal, the scream of a dying mind hit her that she realized the full implication, and then the Control personality screamed at her with Talia's physical voice as well.
Lyta had her shields up, though. That was the irony. She had known a death would come. She wasn't reaching out, and so there was no connection.
By the time Garibaldi dragged Talia Winters' body out of the room, her psyche had screamed her last, and had vanished, unheld.
Travelling with G'Kar did odd things to you. He carried his own ghosts with him, but mostly he was so curious about everything they found on their journey, so vividly interested in every creature that Lyta found it impossible not to be swept away from time to time. She remembered how her first glimpse of a Vorlon had drawn her out of her old life and had enabled her to travel in a way no human had before. The wonder that had filled her, instead of the unending rage and bitterness.
She would never trust someone the way that she had trusted Kosh again. Not with everything that had come after, especially through the Vorlons. But Lyta found herself telling G'Kar about some things of the past that were a bit more removed from the core of her anger. She told him about Talia, and then she told him what she hadn't told anyone else; that Kosh had given her the illegal recording he possessed of Talia Winters' mind.
"I do not think you can capture a soul in crystal," G'Kar said.
The Minbari would probably disagree, given the abhorrence they felt for the Soul Hunters. Lyta shrugged.
"Probably not. But that's not the point. Something of her is there, I can sense it – an echo, if you like. I don't know what it would do if you fed it back to her current self. Maybe it would erase the Control personality without doing anything else and leave her a vegetable. Maybe it would do nothing. But maybe it would restore something of the original Talia."
G'Kar didn't ask her why she had never told any of this to Garibaldi, Ivanova or indeed any of the Babylon 5 command crew. He just looked at her, and his glass eye seemed to record Lyta's own psyche.
"Maybe I didn't want someone else to be their pet renegade teep. They might have kicked me out altogether. With all the shortage in quarters," Lyta said acidly. G'Kar kept silent.
"Fine," she said. "I didn't want to get their hope up. Funny as it might seem, I actually care about these people."
"I think," G'Kar said, "we need to go back before we can go forward on our journey, Lyta."
Finding out what happened to Talia Winters wasn't easy, especially given the increasing level of violence and paranoia between telepaths in the aftermath of Byron's death. Lyta's sources among the resistance didn't have access to silent sympathizers in the Corps anymore; by now, everyone was forced to choose sides. While rummaging through Garibaldi's psyche for her own purposes during her last months on Babylon 5, Lyta had come across a memory of Bester implying Talia was dead, but had discarded it as not proving one thing or the other, since Bester was clearly trying to get an reaction out of Garibaldi when he said it. Still, in the end she decided he was probably in the best position to know. She asked G'Kar to arrange a meeting, promising she would not kill or otherwise harm Bester unless he attacked her first. "He's not interested in pissing off the Narn Regime by harming you," she added, "because he doesn't want aliens getting invested in Earth politics when it comes to telepaths. So I think he'll respect your diplomatic immunity."
"But you do not doubt," G'Kar said, looking up from his writings, "that he would want to talk to you?"
"Of course he will. You see," Lyta replied, and the smell of burning flesh invaded her memories again, "we're family. He'll always believe that. And as long as he lives, he'll never stop working for a family reunion."
Mundanes would see him as unchanged, but Lyta could sense the increasing death toll eating at him, could sense that inner emptiness rising and that fragment of Byron still causing his psyche to bleed everytime he tried to suppress or extract it, and she was glad.
"Travelling agrees with you, Lyta," he said, sitting down opposite of her. If the Vorlons had not touched her, she wouldn't have gotten anything from him. His shields were up, diamond-hard and flawless, as P12 levels were, but she had long stopped measuring her own powers by human labels.
"Talia Winters," she said, refusing to indulge his pretense at politeness. "Did your goons kill her once she was debriefed, or is she still alive?"
He inclined his head. For once, he didn't smile. There was something familiar in his dark eyes, and it wasn't the sense of Byron, screaming in his head.
"We didn't kill her," he said seriously. "You did."
Of course. Mr. Bester loved his little games, and making her feel guilty was probably something he regarded as easily done. She raised an impatient hand. "You know exactly what I mean, so don't waste my time. Is she still alive?"
He lowered his shields then. Not that it was necessary; she had already slipped in and started to search. It didn't take long. Abruptly, Lyta drew back and sat up, but the image wouldn't let go. She stared at him in horror.
After her debriefing, the telepath born as Talia Winters had been given a new name and face, and was supposed to go on a new mission. Then she disappeared. Bester had not heard from her again until coming to Babylon 5 with the proposal of an alliance. His lover, Carolyn Sanderson, had not been the only telepath familiar to him on the vessel he enabled Sheridan to capture. But Bester, ever someone to hold information back in case it could be useful, had never told anyone that he recognized another name among the frozen beings the Shadows had planned on installing as their operating systems. Those same telepaths Sheridan had later used to defeat Clark, after Lyta had woken them up and sent them to their deaths.
"I told you," Bester said softly. She saw herself in his eyes, dressed in black leather, ready to go to any lengths, to use anyone for what she believed was due to her and her people. "The truth will never set you free."
After that, Lyta couldn't just resume her journey with G'Kar. Besides, he said he needed to visit Centauri Prime, off-limits as the planet was these days, "because Mollari clearly cannot manage on his own". Lyta found herself on Babylon 5 once more, under an assumed name, passing through controls as invisibly as she wished. Like a shadow, she thought, and headed towards one of the less popular bars to get drunk. Tomorrow, she'd resume her life, start to organize the resistance better, maybe even remove Bester's restraint from Garibaldi after he donated more weapons and money for the cause. Today, she simply wanted to get drunk.
She hadn't sat down long, holding that useless crystal in her hand, feeling the faint echoes of a long gone mind imprinted on it, when a very much alive and equally familiar mind swam into her presence. Apparently, she wasn't the only one revisiting old haunts. Looking around, she spotted Susan Ivanova, currently curtly dealing with an unwanted admirer. Lyta sighed. She had not known Ivanova very well during her time on Babylon 5; for obvious reasons, the Russian had avoided her whenever possible. After Ivanova's decision to accept command of a ship, Lyta had not expected to see her again. But here she was, another pilgrim wandering through the debris of the past. Lyta was hit by the flash of a memory; Talia's hand on the back of Susan Ivanova's neck. It wasn't her memory.
One night, she thought, fingers closing around the crystal until she put it away. And then we're done. There is nothing more I can do for you.
She rose, and walked over to where Ivanova was still subjected to a non-ending stream of bad chat-up lines.
"I don't think she's interested," Lyta said, and when Ivanova looked at her in surprise, there was the promise of oblivion in her eyes.
You never forget your last. Lyta had seen her future when she looked at Bester; the one-night-stand with Talia Winters' lover was a last reprieve from that as much as it was anything else. She didn't say anything about this to Ivanova, of course, and she certainly didn't inform her about Talia's fate. Maybe there wasn't that much difference between Lyta and Bester anymore, but she would not be gratuitously cruel. There was still Kosh's crystal with Talia's scan, though, and as Lyta woke first, she put it in Ivanova's jacket.
They were probably of an age, but Ivanova appeared terribly young to her as they passed the morning in awkward conversation after the Captain had woken up and got dressed, all defensiveness, while Lyta felt mostly amused.
"I don't think I'd miss you, Susan," Lyta said, and the relief of it, of finally being done with her regrets, almost overwhelmed her. "If you fade away into your job and I never see you again, I really wouldn't be concerned."
"Glad to know I'm such a memorable lay, after all that," Ivanova said, glaring while fastening the last clasp of her uniform, evidently not noticing the crystal inside. Lyta shrugged and smiled.
"Just make sure someone does remember you, Captain. It's a terrible thing to be extraordinary and forgotten."
You never forget your last. Lyta struck her final and devastating blow against the Corps at the expense of her own life, and several thousand others. She knew it would end the Telepath War for good; she knew it would end her own existence as the most efficient human-shaped weapon the Vorlons had created. There would be nothing left of her; no DNA to breed or clone with, no mental imprint to copy.
But she would be remembered. The minds dying around her, with her, did not include Bester's. She had felt him get away at the last moment, and she had not stopped him. There would be nothing left for him now, nothing but memories, and maybe there was justice there, at last.
She closed her eyes. He had been right, all those years ago; truth never set her free, nor anyone else. But her death would.
Eyes open once more, she sent the command.

Foreign air power is crucial to Mali battle plan: sources
By Tiemoko Diallo
BAMAKO (Reuters) - Malian troops backed by foreign air power will lead the assault to recapture Timbuktu and other northern cities from al Qaeda-linked militants, under a battle plan now being considered, Malian army sources said.
West African bloc ECOWAS is expected to submit a version of the plan to the United Nations Security Council for approval, paving the way for war in Mali's vast desert amid fears the region could become a new terrorist training ground.
"International forces will not do the ground fighting, that role will belong to the Malian army," a military officer familiar with the plan, who asked not to be named, said on Friday.
"Air strikes will be the responsibility of the international force," he said, adding foreign partners would also provide logistical and intelligence support and soldiers and police to secure areas captured by the Malian army.
Military planners from Africa, the United Nations and Europe in Mali's capital Bamako last week drew up a battle plan that would involve a foreign force of more than 4,000 personnel, mostly from West African countries. It remains unclear how much of the force would come from Western nations.
The plan covers a six-month period, with a preparatory phase for training and the establishment of bases in Mali's south, followed by combat operations in the north.
A second Malian military source said the army expected Islamist rebels to try to avoid conventional fighting by slipping away into remote mountains or blending in with local populations.
"That is the main problem, and it will fall to our intelligence services to solve it," he said. Continued...

BK Music Closes Down Tomorrow
BK Music has become a staple for music fans in the RVA over the past 13 years. Sadly the run comes to an end tomorrow... for now.
It's been one of my favorite places for vinyl, CD's, and shirts, especially around the numerous Record Store Days over the past several years. Bill Kennedy is an all-out class act who loves music and XL102. Plus, he's a Red Sox fan, so you know he's good people.
I can't imagine a Chili Cook Off without BK Music doing artist signings next to our broadcast stage. But, that could be a reality for 2014. The store is being forced out of their current location on Midlothian Turnpike. The landlord of the building has decided to use a clause in the lease agreement that kicks them out in favor of a Chipotle or something of the like.
Tomorrow BK Music will close down, but it might not be forever. Bill is considering some other locations on Richmond's south side.

But the league has edged a bit closer to a balanced schedule while retaining the 30-game format. Each team will play every other team twice, home and away, which adds up to 26 games (two games each against 13 opponents). The additional four games will be played against two "rivals."
For some teams, an additional rival is easy to figure out. Expansion San Jose should play its California foes, Chivas USA and Los Angeles, which will still play each other two additional times, as they did this year. (Or the Galaxy can cross the country to play an extra game with the Red Bulls, assuming of course the league can assure the availability and health of David Beckham to jam the Meadowlands.)
Dallas and Houston have forged a great bitterness in just two seasons. They might draw extra games against Colorado or Real Salt Lake, which have their own history of enmity. Columbus and Chicago get in each other's faces regularly; could they also get as worked up against Kansas City?
The Northeast corridor has four teams, three of which won't want to play an extra game at BMO Field. But somebody will have to. Because of the imbalance between conferences in 2007 with 13 teams, those in the Western Conference played four games against its rival, three against other conference foes, and two games teams in the East.
Eastern teams, which played each conference opponent three times and Western teams twice apiece, didn't need additional rivalry games. They will next year.
Heh, heh, heh. Intensifying rivalries is a measure of the league's growth, as expressed by a D.C. United fan at RFK Stadium Sunday.
Whatever he paid for a ticket it was certainly too much to see New England play Houston on his team's field, but rather than waste it, he attended.
His statement, "I really resent having to come here today," had little to do with the chilly weather and everything to do with good old-fashioned bitterness.

Husky/CH Compressor check valve question
My 18 gallon Husky Compressor will build about 50PSI and then shut off. I have to unplug it of wait until the air pressure is all gone before it will repeat this cycle- never above 50PSI.
I have read a million stories from as many customers. I'd like to fins a definitive fix.
The lock tab on the unloader is worn away. The new unloader valve is$15. OK
The check valve is $25; but I don't know if it is the problem. What is the 1/8" filter type plug that screws into the Check Valve- opposite the 1/8" Black plastic tube to the unloader Valve? It leaks.
Post a picture, Huskey makes about a dozen differant set ups.
If the check valve is stuck air will be leaking back out of the pressure regulator.
Check for air leaks around the line that runs from the tank to the pressure regulatior. Also the line that comes out of the head of the compressor.
All there counting on to seal that line is a little round O ring and they fail. Copper lines work harden and crack, old rubber line from weather cracking. All of these can stop it from building up pressure.
With or without an extension cord?
why are you wondering about hte extentsion chord.. thinking the built in breaker is tripping?
Voltage drop would be an issue, I had the same problem with an Husky, I replaced the run capacitor, same issue, plugged directly to a 20 amp outlet no problem.
yah.. thats something that drives me insane on small jobs for people when i have to run air... gotta walk around hte house with my 70lb compressor trying to find an outlet thats on a 20 amp circuit

Peace for Israelis, Liberation for Palestinians: Bringing the New Jerusalem

Footnotes in Gaza — The Power of Memory
My review of Joe Sacco's astonishing Footnotes in Gaza appeared in Commonweal Magazine in October, 2011. It was a powerful experience for me to turn to it again today. The brilliance of the book is how it takes us back to '48, then to the near unknown (outside of Gaza) events of '56, and how these resonate so horribly and bloodily in present time. "Present time" for Sacco, of course, and for me when I wrote the book, was the Cast Lead massacre of 2008-2009. In 2014 the power of memory grows in … [Read more...]

Guaranteed Traffic Increases (or your money back)
Yes I know, the title makes me sounds like a twat. "Yeah right, like he can't guarentee traffic! He can't even spell guarantee!" I'm actually quite happy to put my balls on the line and say that if you work in the following areas you will have an increase in traffic to your website.
Keyword analysis for keywords that are currently bringing traffic to the website.
Review past traffic terms in Google Analytics/Google Webmaster Tools. Export data, review what page ranks in Google for that term. Improve it – make it more 'relevant' (you all know how to do this) make it more 'popular' (some of you know how to do this…) In fact you could probably do this with just on page alone, well at least I have and I don't really know what I'm doing
= Increase in traffic
Keyword review for keywords that can potentially bring traffic to the website.
Use keyword research tools to find keywords that are relevant to your sector. Export data, review competition to predict whether this term is a short or long term goal. Either edit pages that already exist so that you can incorporate your new keywords or create new content that revolves around your new keywords
= Increase in traffic
2 Responses to Guaranteed Traffic Increases (or your money back)
These are some ways to increase traffic – the question is just how much more you'll get. But if you see +1 visitor as an increase in traffic, you're spot on and this logic is infallible.
It really does come down to improving visibility in existing niches or expanding into new ones.
The challenge is in HOW you do that.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Mix Tape USB Drive
On this Valentines Day the girlfriend that I don't have will spend hours carefully composing the ultimate mixed tape. If this was more than a fantasy, she'd debate the song order and try hard to find tunes particularly meaningful, but also catch and things I'd never heard. Naturally, she'd fail at this, but i'd applaud the effort and appreciate the savvy that is a mixed tape on a usb,
I can' imagine how, when, where or who would actually use this. It seems so impractical, but at the same time so genius. I mean, I friggin' love karaoke -- not by me, but by my friends. This is could a greta gift for one of them.Tags: games, gifts, ipod, music, gadgets, accessories, tech, entertainment, MacAdded 8 Years Ago from Fredflare

Small Traditional Dog Collar in Patterned Red with Tan Twill
Size details
- Small: 5/8 inch wide, circumference of 10-11-12 inches
- metal buckle (nickel finish)
- metal sizing grommets (nickel finish)
- reclaimed materials
- sturdy yet flexible
- machine washable
Made of a reclaimed silk tie in red with small floral motifs + reclaimed tan cotton twill.
About the Traditional Dog Collar
Stand apart from the crowd of plastic buckles that are hard to remove and impersonal with an old-school metal buckle that's easy on the fingers and doesn't get caught in your dog's fur. This traditional dog collar also features metal grommets so the sizing holes stay nice and neat, and make it easy to insert into the buckle tongue.
This fabric collar is constructed to be substantial and sturdy, while being flexible and soft around your dog's neck. Attach a tag and leash on the metal D-ring, which is welded for durability. The buckle is secured with multiple rows of stitching, so the collar will stay safely on your dog.
All Oxford Dogma items are handmade in Arizona, so you can feel good about supporting a local economy and helping avoid exploitative business practices. And since this item features reclaimed material, there's less impact on the environment.
If your dog's collar needs freshening up, simply wash it in the washing machine on the gentle cycle with cold water. To dry, lay flat and air dry.

THIS indoor cloud does NOT smell like skunk. It is not a specter. It's a bona fide, spectacular, real life, living, breathing cloud (I told you a million times I do not exaggerate).
Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde has developed a way to simulate clouds indoors by carefully regulating the space's humidity, temperature and light. This intersection of science and art was recently named one of TIME magazine's "Best Inventions of the Year 2012."
The fluffy white billows are summoned up temporarily using a fog machine, creating a dreamlike experience in the middle of a room. Smilde has created his clouds inside different types of locations, ranging from corridors and hallways, to bedrooms and common spaces.
Wouldn't it be HILARIOUS to buy one of these clouds and set it up over the desk of the office curmudgeon (while he/she is not looking)?

Want to paint my kitchen cabinets
Hi All,
I want to paint my kitchen cabinets, any do' sand don'ts I should know before I start this project? I know there's kits out there for doing this project just not sure how good it is?! Does the paint peel?
We need to know what the existing finish on the cabinets is. And what condition it's in.
And what are you planning on painting it with. How are you planning to paint roller or brush? Are they wood?
What color? Let me guess. Expresso?
Literally thousands of posts on here about painting cabinets. Do a "search" and you will have lots of quality reading to do.
Here's just one example:

Remote backup solutions
Data backup expert Pierre Dorion discusses the pros and cons of data deduplication and continuous data protection for remote backup.
This Article Covers
Data reduction
We're also considering offline backup at one of our home locations. What is the best way to do this? I've considered RAID, but I live in Texas and the systems are in Phoenix, AZ. I take care of the systems remotely.
Drill down into today's new backup approaches
Due to the features of most modern backup software – which include snapshot management, DR elements, cloud support, VM protection – backups can do so much more than simply restoring data in the event of a storage or server failure. Download this guide and not only discover the latest upgrades to today's top enterprise backup vendors, but also learn where backup software works best in your computing environment.

There are also continuous data protection (CDP) solutions available, which allow multiple systems to back up data on a continuous basis to a central server. However, this solution must include a remote replication element to ensure an offsite copy of your backup data exists. CDP doubled with deduplication and replication is a good choice.
Finally, there are many software-based data replication solutions to choose from and some are capable of handling reduced network bandwidth. You'll want to focus on something that requires no physical intervention because you're managing these systems remotely.

Hi again everyone,
Thanks for all the ideas on my initial question. My rewiring project is going slowly forward. To catch you up on what I'm doing and where I am. I pulled parallel runs of 4/0 aluminum URD from a splicebox at the base of the power pole to the meter base. The power company will be running 300 kcmil aluminum from the transformer to my splice box. From the meter base, I ran 300 kcmil through a 2" conduit into a trough. In the trough I spliced a run of the 300 kcmil up to a 200 amp main breaker panel, using 2" conduit, and another splice of the 300 kcmil to a 200 amp disconnect. From the disconnect I'll be running #2 MC 65 feet to another main breaker panel. I ran a 5/8 ground rod in at the base of the meter, and used #4 copper to ground and bond all the panels, trough, and disconnect.
That said, the electrical inspector came and looked at things, so I could at least get the trench filled back in. He started questioning everything I did, and instead of telling me what he wanted, he just kept asking me the same question. "Is that what the code book says?" I thought it was his job to either say it was OK, or tell me what he wants to change it to. But, he didn't, he just kept saying: "I don't think the code says that's what it should be." or would ask me again what the book said. SIGH....
OK, so, the things he thought he didn't like, but wouldn't tell me how he wanted it, were the size of conduit from the meter base to the trough and breaker panels, and the size of the ground wire. He also didn't like that the ground wire was run and attached to the breaker panel in the garage, and then bonded from there to the trough and disconnect, but that's easy to fix. What I don't know, is what size conduit and what size ground wire. When I look at Annex "C", it says I was correct to use 2" for the conduit. I checked 250.66, and it says the #4 for ground was correct, but then I read #1, and wondered if I needed a larger ground wire because I ran the parallel 4/0 aluminum up to the meter base. I just figured, since the power company was only running 300 kcmil, I was fine with the #4. Again, the inspector never told me to change it, he just kept asking if it ws to code.
So, what would you guys do? Should I go through all the trouble and change the conduit size to 2 1/2 adn the ground wire to something bigger, or should I just show him the code book to back up each of the things I did? If I do change the ground wire, what should it be upped to???
Thanks in advance!

Irish based Web Designer and Developer
Peter Jasa's Portfolio
I was born in Slovakia but have been living in Ireland since 2005. I started learning web design in 2006. Gradually, I was devoting more and more time to it, both learning new tools and technologies; and working on various projects - from graphic design, to e-Commerce platforms development and SEO. In 2012 I set up Factor Pi, my own web design and development studio. It was a natural transition, where Factor Pi really serves as a branding umbrella to present my work in a more focussed and professional way.

Worst Cruise Line: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by traveler181818
Overall Member Rating
Worst Cruise Line
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
The dirtiest room I've ever seen. The worst was a used dirty diaper and used tampon under the bed. Hairballs in the corner. The room is a disgusting layout, with the toilet next to the the bed, and the smell of sewage. Be advised, that because NCL is trying to be eco friendly, that less water is used to flush the toilet (which is a vaucu flush) and sounds like a 747 every time you flush. This will wake the dead, and they use a deodorizer in the toilet system to mask the stench because of less water usage.
The food was average at best. Only a few "free" restaurants. The majority you have to pay extra. The food is equivalent to a buffet that you might get at an old "Reno Nevada" hotel, with lots of people jammed into a room, cramming and stuffing their faces full of cheap food.
There is very little "free" on board. Most of anything you will pay extra. The staff More is almost 90% Philippine workers and most were not pleasant.
When I complained about my room being unbearable and unacceptable, I was told there was nothing they could do, and in the end offered me a $100 credit on a future cruise (very insulting). Like I would ever go back.
I would avoid NCL like the plague. They do not have any kind of customer service. If you are going to plunk down $1000+ on a cruise I would not use NCL. Celebrity is 1000% times better in all categories.
The port south of Cancun, Playa Maya, is a tourist trap and worthless.
Roatan is nice.
Fitness center was good, but because of all the sweaty people Air conditioning was weak. Less

text: In Senior Watch, Rebecca Miller from the Northern New England Poison Center joined Carolyn Callahan on TV5 News at Noon to discuss what the poison center can do for seniors.They can answer questions about medications. For example if a senior took too many doses of meds, took the wrong medication, drug and food interactions. Sometimes seniors call because their pills are not the same color as usual or they forget to take a dose and it is close to time for the next dose. You can reach the poison center at 1-800-222-1222. A nurse will answer the phone and in many cases doctors contact them with questions.
