2011 Z4 Fuel Pump Noise
Two to three weeks after I took delivery of our 2011 30i Z4 it started to make a high pitched howling noise. It has continued to get louder as the weeks go by . . . it can now be heard while standing several feet away from the car. The dealer said that has been an issue with the 2011 Z4's and there is nothing they can do about it. They have tried changing the fuel pump in other 2011 Z4's and it is quiet for a couple of weeks and then the noise returns.
I called BMW N.A. and they do not have a fix for it at this time. Has anyone else had this issue?
Love the car except for this constant noise . . . which I can now hear over the radio.
Took it to BMW Concord. I already know about BMW of Fremont . . . I would not take anything to them. Thanks for the suggestion . . . I may try East Bay BMW.
Did you have the same noise problem with yours?
What is the PUMA?
no. I am not picking up my Z4 until July. Don't bother with Concord either. Go to East Bay. a PUMA is a problem case that gets logged into a database with BMW when something has not been able to be fixed. BMW Regional Techs get involved and it gets funneled back up to BMW.
Oh! OK . . . well that makes sense then. I have been reading about a HP Fuel Pump recall that happened last Dec. Similar problem . . . I believe BMW needs to get fuel pumps from another vendor . . .
I am not going to let this go as I like the car and want it to be the same way it was when I drove it off the dealer's lot in Feb. Thanks again for your comments and feedback. Much appreciated.
My 2011 Z4 30i has the same problem. It was ordered in Jan and delivered March 30.
As with yours, it did not make the noise for a few weeks.
I've noticed that with mine once the gas tank gets below 1/2 full the noise disappears.
It is really irritating and I've asked the service dept. about it. They told me a BMW rep needs to visit and approve the repair.
Interesting that the noise goes away after the fuel drops below 1/2 tank. Mine still makes the noise below 1/2 tank of fuel. BMW obviously has a problem with High Pressure Fuel Pumps. Make a formal complaint about it to the number I posted in a previous post above . . . the more complaints they get will help prompt BMW to come up with a fix for this.
I could be mistaken but I don't think our Z4 30i's have HPFP's. I think those are exclusive to the cars with turbochargers.
BMW certainly does have problems making HPFP's-but it seems they also have problems making plain old electric fuel pumps.
Yes I believe you are correct, those are for the turbo's. I've been reading too many posts about the HPFP's. Sure wish they'd come up with a fix for the 30i's as I love the car except for that incessant noise...
SANguru . . .
Got a call from BMW of North America last Wed. As per their suggestion I took it to East Bay BMW on Thursday morning for a second opinion. East Bay BMW said they thought it was the fuel pump and want to put it on a lift to look at that area of the under carriage. They asked if I could leave it till later in the afternoon . . . and they gave me a loaner car for the day. They changed the fuel pump and VOLIA! NO more fuel pump noise . . . . I hope it stays that way.
SANguru . . . thanks for your suggestion to take it to Easy Bay BMW . . . good dealership! Think I may switch to them for my service needs from now on...
I had the fuel pump replaced two weeks ago. Now after only 200 mi the humming sound is returning. It's really disappointing.
Has anyone had better luck?
Sorry to hear your noise is back on the new pump, something neither of us wanted to see happen. Had mine replaced 337 miles ago and it is still OK . . . "knock on wood". We'll keep everyone posted as the miles roll by . . .
I am now just staritng to have this problem with 5K miles on my 2011. Curious if the noise has returned since the pump was replaced.
This car is a dream to drive and love to shift but hate the noise. Hope to get the pump replaced soon.
Yes, the noise is still gone and now have 17K miles on the Z-4 after the fuel pump was replaced.
New Problem Happened . . .
About 700 miles ago . . . around 16K total miles . . . one or two lifters must have bled down because the lifters were making lots of noise . . . took it to BMW and the replaced all the lifters. Noise gone but the car just doesn't seem to have the get-up-and-go it used to have with the new lifters. Sad . . . I am starting not to enjoy the car as much as I once did . . .
The whining that you hear is from the LPFP. I had the same problem and my dealer replaced mine about six months into ownership. It was a high pitched whining sound that seem to be coming from behind my seat. Anyway after the dealer replaced the pump two years ago, I have never had a problem with it.
I have a 35i which has the HPFP. I never experienced any problems with that, but my dealer replaced it anyway as it was a recall. The people that had problems with that had the car going into a limp mode, there wasn't any sound coming from that. The whining sound is from the LPFP. I would take it to another dealer as your dealer apparently doesn't have a clue.

Legend of Grimrock - Weekly Update
A short update from Almost Human this week that talks about their progress with the Legend of Grimrock editor in between their partying:
Wow, it seems like the Friday was here much quicker than usual! Quite possibly because on Tuesday we had the pagan festival called Vappu, or May Day, here in Finland. It's a pretty, ahem, colorful event when folks tend to flock to parks and other public spaces to consume a non-trivial amount of alcohol. Pagan holidays are the best!
Anyways, it's been another week with a lot of miscellaneous things going on right now. We've been answering interviews, developing the level editor and a bunch of other crazy things. The level editor is progressing at a good pace and it's looking pretty solid. One of our primary goals was to make a level editor that we ourselves would be happy to use and it's very promising in that regard already. We've had to revisit and rethink some of our old ideas and code since we didn't have a proper level editor ourselves during the development of the game but despite the extra work it'll definitely be worth it in the end! Oh, and one more highlight that's most definitely worth mentioning is that Legend of Grimrock was the overall most sold game on Steam for its first two weeks. That's pretty awesome!! A big thank you to all of you again!

text: I have a springer compact and carried it in a custom holster by Horseshoe leather for about 3 days. I cinch my belt tight and the holster would collapse. Went to a Galco Royal Guard and now have two of them for two different 1911's. I am well satisfied. I don't need a fancy name or fancy leather, just one that will do the job I want it to and the Galco fills the bill. I have seen pictures of RG's that have served their purpose for years and I am 67, how many more of them will I need?

"This publication explores the complex relationship between American art and early film. From the photographs of Muybridge, Marey, and Eakins of the 1880s, to the first films of the 1890s which drew from established conventions of American art, to the New York films and art of the first decades of the twentieth century, the struggle between art and film both polarized and inspired the artists of its era."--Jacket.

Extra enforcement and beefed up patrol during and after the annual Emerald Isle Parade resulted in several arrests, including three for possible driving while intoxicated.
More than 540 vehicles were stopped during a sobriety checkpoint March 15 in the area of S.W. Third and Noel streets. The checkpoint yielded: 36 tickets issued and seven arrests made, including three for DWI.
So far this year, to-date numbers that only include the months of January and February, the LSPD has made 28 arrests for DWI. Last year the total number of DWI-related arrests was 204, down from the 256 arrests in 2012. A total of 293 DWI arrests were made in 2011, so the numbers continue to shrink for the department.
"The police department feels that sobriety checkpoints fit well into our overall plan to reduce drunk driving as well as the serious accidents that occur from impaired driving," Lee's Summit Police Department Sgt. Chris Depue said. "We conduct sobriety checkpoints in addition to our saturation patrols to remove impaired drivers from the roadway before an accident occurs. A checkpoint has a deterrent effect because once the location is known and we setup the checkpoint, word spreads quickly.
"Hopefully, drivers who may have made a bad decision learn of the checkpoint, think twice and call a cab or get a safe ride home."
Depue said the department did not conduct any sobriety patrols on the official St. Patrick's Day March 17. However, the department did have a bar patrol squad that worked the downtown area on foot to provide extra manpower. They staffed an additional six officers that worked the downtown bar district from noon until 2 a.m March 18.
The department also had an additional 21 officers on parade detail from noon until 2:30 p.m March 15. That night, the department put out an additional five officers who worked foot patrol in the downtown bar district.
The extra manpower helped the department keep intact the 14 officers who normally patrol Lee's Summit.
"These extra officers are brought in to work the details so that we can keep our normal staffing levels of road officers that are available to handle routine and emergency calls for service," Depue said.

For anyone who wonders why people want a dog...
I've had a pretty rough couple of weeks, with health problems, stress at work, and all that fun stuff. Well, the other night, my asthma finally caught up to me, and I had, while not quite an attack, what you could definitely call an "episode", with my lungs feeling not so great. Nonetheless, I went to get Mira for her last walk of the night.
Now, usually, Mira is really hyper, all bouncing up and down when she sees the leash. But not that night. Instead, she came over real calmly and, when I kneeled down to hook up the leash, she came forward and pressed her head up against my chest and kept it there. Once we got back in, all she wanted to do was cuddle up with me, licking my hands.
I absolutely love my little dog. No matter how bad things are, she's always got a way to cheer me up. I really do think, once we get her settled down a little more, she's gonna make an awesome therapy dog.
So, I was watching ECW last night, and Mira was doing her usual thing, jumping around and being a puppy, when my favorite wrestler, CM Punk, came up on the screen. Mira stopped what she was doing, and literally watched the ENTIRE MATCH. Once it was over, she went back to playing. So, Mir-Mir is a CM Punk fan... which, naturally, led to her new nickname of CM Pup.
She's doing okay, but she doesn't seem to be quite as good for my fiancee in terms of doing her business outside, so I'm going to keep an eye on what she's doing and pass along any differences.
We're going to start more training tonight, probably looking at "stay". She's doing well with the other commands, but with a new couch in the living room, it's more complicated. =p

A big ole' Christmas hello to all of my friends. We have somehow managed to fly through an entire year once again and we find ourselves smack dab in the holiday spirit. Well, hopefully we are all in that spirit.
I thought we would play a little game in this article. It's called food association. I say a food and you think of what the first thing that comes to mind that goes with that food.
With only about a week until Christmas, the opportunity to buy gifts is nearing a critical point for those who haven't completed their shopping.
If you're among those still searching for ideas, one possible solution is to buy something produced locally. Governor Beshear, in fact, has proclaimed December to be "Give a Gift Made in Kentucky Month," which is highlighting the artists and businesses across the commonwealth that offer something rare if not unique.
With the new year just around the corner many of us have the same resolution: To get in better shape.
Some of us are hoping to lose weight or inches in certain areas. Others plan to train for events, like marathons or 5K runs. Some may even be looking to add muscularity to their frame. And then there are those who just simply want to look and feel better.
A few weeks from now, the General Assembly will return to the Capitol as it does each January to begin a new legislative session.
What is your favorite Christmas song? Certain songs are toe-tappin.' Others stir up strong emotion. But all Christmas music, in particular, is magical.
Many of us have strong opinions on what we believe is good Christmas music versus just plain obnoxious. But all of them evoke some sort of memory. The magic transports us to another place and time.
Christmas is filled with all sorts of traditions and memories, and music traditions are no exception.
There are many times we find ourselves in a constant state of change. I find this to be especially true in the accelerated world we live in now.
The library has gone through many changes in 2014. Some have been small, some have been big, and some have been epic, like a giant caterpillar.
As students near the end of the semester, they are invariably starting to think about the grades that will determine whether their Christmas break is actually a joyous one.
For Kentucky's educational system, our "report cards," so to speak, have already arrived. They came earlier this fall from the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, a non-profit organization that has been a driving force behind education reform since the 1980s, and the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE).
At Champions for a Drug Free Carroll County, we hope that you know by now the premise of our organization's main focus – education and prevention are always at the forefront of our coalition. We also hope you know that we are just as concerned with other issues as well, such as legislation, addiction and treatment.
With the new year upon us, December lends itself to planning and or getting a jump start on your New Year's fitness resolutions! So this month, let's look at some topics to help ensure a higher level of success and long-term lifestyle changes to make those resolutions, reality!

Does anyone mind me asking what sort of time they put into their affiliate marketing each week?
As I said in my OP, ive just started but i am putting in about 3 to 5 hours a day. Its not a full time thing. I started doing it as I was between jobs (im a freelance website developer) and thought it would be a good constructive way to spend my free time.
So its looking like on average between 100 and 200 clickthroughs gets a deposit. Thats not too bad actually and gives me (and other reading this i hope) a good idea of how much work I need to put into my program to reach targets I set.
Thanks guys for all your input… its pretty valuable info to know.
permian said
I have 42 clickthroughs with 0 signups, so, yeah, may be it's somewhere from 50 to 100
Thanks for the reply permain much appreciated.
I just started working on a website which has a large chunk of it for the Envato affiliate program.
I was just wondering what the average ratio of others might be for signups per click-through.
I thought maybe 1 signup per 50 to 100 click-throughs would be a good number to work off?
Just a quick FYI in the pricing tables page.
In FF 12 on Ubuntu when browser is shrunk to 'mobile size' the tables fall out the right and you need to scroll right to see them fully.
Its a very nice theme and with a few adjustments I can see it making quite a few sales.
Good luck with it!

Have you ever wondered why your tracks don't sound like the ones on the radio? That might be because commercial tracks are always mastered before release! Luckily, Sweetwater carries all the mastering tools you need to help your music sound better than ever. But choosing the right mastering software can be tricky, especially if you're not sure what you need. Fear not! We'll tell you what you need to know to get the right mastering software for your particular needs.
What is mastering anyway? Mastering is the final stage of processing music — the last stage your tracks should go through before being released. The point is to make tracks sound as good as they possibly can across all playback devices. Not to be confused with mixing, mastering isn't as concerned with how all the individual elements of your song sit together — it focuses on making sure everything is perfect when it comes to the overall tone, punch, and loudness. Mastering affects the entire track as a whole, not individual tracks.
Do you want to gently even out the dynamics of your tracks? Look for software with compression capabilities! Compression allows you to make the louder parts of your tracks quieter and the quieter parts louder, so you end up with a final product that feels even. If you want to get rid of uneven parts where volume rises and falls unexpectedly, compression is the way to go.
Want to tweak specific frequencies? Grab software with a built-in equalizer. Applied gently in the process of mastering, EQ can make your tracks sound sweeter and more tonally balanced.
And for the finishing touch, look for a limiter. Limiting drives the track's input gain, but leaves the output level at 0dB. This gives you the ability to push the overall volume of the track up to commercial levels without distorting.
Compression, EQ and limiting are the three basic mastering tools, but we also carry products capable of much more! Many of them include analysis tools, which allow you to see what is really happening with your tracks. You can also grab mastering software that offers stereo widening, mastering reverb, and more.
Sweetwater carries an array of mastering software tools that are compatible with both PCs and Macs, so be sure to choose a program compatible with your operating system.
Ready to start mastering right away? You can! Check out one of our instant download options, and start mastering from the comfort of your sofa. Of course, if you prefer a physical disk, our fast shipping will make sure you get it in time. We also carry academic versions for those of you who are teachers or are still enrolled in school. Take advantage of a sweet discount!
If you have any questions about the various features of the mastering software we offer, please give us a call. Our Sales Engineers are happy to help!
Sweetwater's Sales Engineers are regarded as the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals in the music industry, with extensive music backgrounds and intense training on the latest products and technologies. They are available to offer you personalized product advice any time you need it.

Study says retail employees looking for better work
January 21, 2005,
CHICAGO — Finding a new job is a priority for 47 percent of retail workers, according to a new CareerBuilder.com survey.
Forty-eight percent of retail workers say they do not look forward to going to work each day with more than half stating their paychecks are not providing enough incentive.Dissatisfaction with pay rose from 50 percent in August to 54 percent in the latest survey. Seventy-eight percent of retail workers say they did not receive a bonus in 2004 and 46 percent have not received a salary boost. Of those who were given a raise, more than one-third reported the raise was 3 percent or less.
More than two-thirds have observed their workloads rose significantly in the last six months and 35 percent say they struggle to maintain a healthy work/life balance. The pressure to meet the demands of their customers, employers and families has left 48 percent feeling excessive stress on the job.
Retail workers also voiced concern over the lack of a clear path for career advancement at their current employers. Four-in-10 report challenges with moving up the company ladder and one-fourth report being overlooked for a promotion.

Dryer problems - any advice welcome *SOLVED!*

I worked on this thing again last night. I removed the cheapy flex pipe and replaced it with semi-rigid. Before I did that, though, I shoved my arm into the vent to see if I could feel anything and about cut my hand off from a sawzall blade sticking up through the seem of the vent. Nice!
So I pushed the sawzall blade down through the vent and let it fall into the crawlspace, installed the new vent pipe and ran the dryer...still same problem. So...down into the crawlspace I went. I checked out the vent and found it had gotten disconnected, of course at the one place where there were so many pipes in the way I had to be a circus contorsionist to work on it. So after about 1 1/2 hours of bending in un-natural ways and cussing enough to make a truck driver blush, I managed to get the vent reconnected. Went to check the dryer again, thinking I had FINALLY solved the issue. This time, I put my GL4x4 sweatshirt in there (odd that this is what I had to test the dryer), since it was damp from the wash earlier in the day and fired up the dryer. The "Check Vent" light came on AGAIN, but it seems to actually be heating up properly now. Granted...I only put one damp sweatshirt in there. My wife is going to run a full load through today and see what happens...that will be the real test.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but to be honest I am done with this stupid dryer and am throwing in the proverbial towel. I have wasted enough time, energy, and good cuss words (usually reserved for the Jeep) at this point. If it is still not working, I am calling an appliance repair guy/gal. Any reccommendations on a good one in the Saginaw/St Charles/Hemlock area?

Authentic Bible Faith Part Three
Mark Stidham
2/14/2008 / Christian Living
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Heb 12:2)
This verse says to look to Jesus who is the author and finisher or developer of our faith. Well first of all how do you look to Jesus? How many times in how many sermons have we heard that we need to do just that. Yet in sermon after sermon you never hear exactly how to. Jesus is in heaven and unless you have a vision we cannot look at him in person, he is not physically present on earth. So how do we look to Jesus?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)
Jesus is one with the Word. If we are going to look to Jesus we are going to have to look to His Word. That is how you look unto Jesus. You can see his life, how he walked, how he carried himself, and you can see what he did in certain situations. Then you can read in the epistles exactly what it his death burial and resurrection means to us now. So looking to the word is looking unto Jesus.
The power or strength of your faith is relative to the amount of Word you feed it. Weak amount of the Word will produce a weak faith; a strong amount of the word will produce strong faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Jesus told his disciples, when they asked him to increase their faith, that if they would plant what they had it would grow. He also went on to tell a parable about a servant and after it had done all it was to be fed. This brings us to the realization that faith is a servant and it has to be fed (see Luke 17).
Our natural bodies need certain vitamins and minerals to operate at optimal perfromance. The spirit man is the same, and you can take all you want, you won't ever overdose on the Word. The Word is medicine to all our flesh (Proverbs 4:22).
So looking to Jesus is as simple as looking to God's Word, making it your priority and giving it the final say in all of your life. And the amount of 'looking' into the Word is going to determine the strength of your faith.

Extremely expensive and poor quality. It is obvious that they spend all their money on the expensive rent and not the ingredients for their dishes. Not a good experience so avoid!

We ordered three curries for take away on the 22nd June,,
Chicken tikka
Chicken korma
Gateway lamb
Total price, R470
There was about 4 small pieces of average chicken in each and the lamb was so tough and full of fat.
Very disappointed. Definitely a rip off. At that quality and price I am surprised they still have a business.

We arrived 10mins prior to closing time, but were still treated like royalty. My first visit to Durban definitely became more memorable after enjoying the traditional, authentic Indian flavours of their (Very Hot!) Rogan Josh. Very clean restaurant, with no expense spared on decor and good quality staff, leading to an extremely pleasant experience. Will recommend to all of my friends, thank you!

I would love to meet the owner of this restaurant as the service and the food is disgraceful. I ordered a lamb curry with potatoes and I get big peppers and onions and the toughest meat I have ever eaten! Not to mention the calibre of the waitron that delivered the food to us who literally argued with us upon delivering the food. I called to complain to the manager regarding this and the strange thing is that no one knows who the manager is cos I got a lady the first time who then handed my call very rudely to another gentleman! Talking about me whilst I was still on the phone. We work in gateway and have nothing but bad comments to customers about your service. The sad thing is that once pointed out to the so called manager, the service remains the same...very bad from a business perspective as you are loosing customers that could actually return cos we work around the corner from you and could add value to you.

Metaphors of Space - A Review
24/05/2009 , 8:25 PM by Martin Corben
Two Sydney Writers' Festival poetry events conflicted on Sunday afternoon - The Dorothy Porter Tribute in the Bangarra Theatre and the event Metaphors of Space in the Bangarra Mezzanine nearby.
Sadly, I am not as omnipresent as say, swine-flu hysteria or Eddie McGuire, and while I attended Poetry as Passion: A Tribute to Dorothy Porter, poet and philosopher Berndt Sellheim took in the goings on of Metaphors of Space.
Here is his review:
I must admit that the Bangarra Mezzanine is one of my favorite festival locations, particularly in the late afternoon. It's hard to beat milling about at the pier's end, beer in hand, while the dropping sun moves its own architectures of shadow and brightness over the timber floor.
On this occasion, the closing Sunday of the festival, it was a poetry event presented by Mascara Poetry and MCHP Architects. A series of models and panels about the room incorporated designs by Innovarchi, Welsh+Major and Silvester Fuller. Local poet Michelle Cahill was acting MC.
The event was convened by Chris Smith, who lectures in architectural theory and Techné at Sydney University. Smith's opening paper must be recognised as one of the event's highlights. Compacted as it was by the 10 minute slot, he managed to take our minds out over the harbour, through the nomenclature of clouds, and return us, via the French philosopher Michel Serre, with architecture and poetics elegantly gathered together in the one net.
Smith was followed by a procession (what is the appropriate collective noun here? a palisade? a punnet? a profundity?) of poets: Elizabeth Hodgson, Pam Brown, Andy Quan, Peter Boyle, Mario Licon Cabrera, Julie Chevalier and David Musgrave.
Perhaps it's poetry own spaciousness that permits it to engage so precisely with architectural spaces, but there is something of an affinity between the two. Sydney poet Andy Quan certainly found an apparently natural intersection. Very much a scribe of the urban, Quan offered a controlled, resonant reading of a poem on Kyoto Station, and a tribute to the 'poet of light', architect Louis Kahn. The Kahn poem's final movement reads:
The impulse of silence to become creation.
The chasm between ideal, what is, what could be.
The words pull us into a transcendental opening, the magic of delineating space that remains architecture's special domain. This concern is a unique mix of the material and the ethereal. All too frequently we forget to take note when lugging our bags through train stations or wandering the city, but these creations are part of what defines our humanity. To build, as Heidegger reminds us, is also to dwell. The relationship we have with place is an important one.
One of the strengths of this reading was its diversity. Pam Brown read with the poise and precision that consistently marks her work. Peter Boyle gave an expanded sense of myth to the local, and David Musgrave finished with a finely tuned and hilarious series of sonnets, which toured the house of an unnamed deceased poet, T. The tour's highlight was a bathroom that, choked with keepsakes, journals, and curios, also contained the throne upon which the late, imaginary poet, had died of a stroke some 15 years prior.
This diversity is essential. Architecture is not only the glass geometries of Kyoto Station or the vaulted curves of the Opera House, but also the private spaces of our homes: the quiet corner with the couch, where you curl up with a good book; the front door that you walk through with a sigh after a trip abroad. Architecture uses material elements to gather together 'natural' space with the vital impulses that motivate our love of light and locale. It's nice to be reminded that all these places are, in one way or another, sacred.
- Berndt Sellheim
Thank you Berndt, for proving once again why you are a poet, and I am a mere murderous scribe.
Check back to my SWF blog for more on the festival.

Code School Founder on Creating a Diverse Tech Community
Gregg Pollack discusses how the gamification of programming is just one step in equalizing an industry lacking in women and minorities
It's hard to ignore the nationwide push to get more girls into coding – and you shouldn't. According to research from the National Center for Women & Information Technology, while women make up more than half of the workforce, they only hold around a quarter of technology jobs. Women earn 57% of undergrad degrees, but only 18% of undergrad computer and information sciences degrees. This disparity is what sparked Code School founder Gregg Pollack to ask the question – how can we cast a wider net?
Pollack took note that Google was actively encouraging more people to learn how to code – the Internet giant donated $50 million as part of its initiative Made With Code – the funds going towards creating more opportunities for women and minorities in computer science. Google is also collaborating with Science and Entertainment Exchange in an effort to televise more female engineer characters.
Now, Code School is partnering with Google to support women and minorities in tech. Google gave away thousands of vouchers for three free months of the online programming courses, marking a further investment in creating a more gender-balanced future in tech. But it's not just about statistics and funding – creating a diverse and inclusive tech community is about the experience. That's where Code School stands out. Pollack tells PSFK:
What makes us unique is how we combine so many disciplines for an optimal user experience – branding, UI, illustration, jingles, writing, gamification. Nobody does it quite like us.
Code School courses "take the risk of failing out of it" through gamification, Pollack says, with many users' feedback being that it wasn't as hard as they thought it was going to be. Aspiring programmers take part in interactive exercises, earning badges and unlocking levels as they go, with intermingled jingles, motion graphics, and amusing characters to take the tediousness out of learning a new technology.
Code School is mindful of catering to both men and women, and this was evident in a modification to its Road Trip levels – all of the courses had featured a male animation – until about a year ago. Pollack said they didn't notice because they had used an outside contracting firm to create the motion graphics. Once it was brought to his attention, they added in a female character to the level.
The Code School staff of 30 is comprised of about a third women, and Pollack tells PSFK that bridging the gender gap doesn't stop short of these aforementioned initiatives – it's also an effort that needs to be taken within existing companies. Studies prove that gender equality in the workplace creates better performing companies, among many other advantages.
While there are a range of reasons to explain this link, one factor is that diversity brings together varied perspectives, produces a more holistic analysis of the issues an organisation faces and spurs greater effort, leading to improved decision-making.
Pollack says that in order to create an office environment equally appealing to all genders and backgrounds, Code School offers new amenities – such as Yoga Tuesdays and Wine and Whiskey Wednesdays. The site will also feature its first woman instructor, who will teach a JavaScript course online soon. But Pollack also recognizes that its just "the tip of the iceberg" in creating gender balanced companies, as well as in making learning how to code fun.
Money, initiatives, statistics, and policies aside, the bottom line comes down to – why code? Pollack says that's like asking, 'Why should I learn a second language?'

How the New Twitter Search Will Change the Way Brands Tweet
Overview of the New Twitter SearchLast Thursday, Twitter Personalization and Recommender Systems Chief Pankaj Gupta announced via Tweet (#gofigure) that Twitter search was "set to change forever." That tweet would foreshadow the company's major update to its Search and Discovery platform.The new search update seems to take a lot of cues from Google. It tries to guess what a user is searching for based on what other people are searching (or what is trending) and gives the user a drop-down menu that helps complete their search query without the user having to finish typing (Google Instant). It is also able to fix spelling if something was typed incorrectly, similar to Google's "Did you mean:" feature.Twitter will now also take your search query and give you options for similar search terms. For instance, if I search for "Social Media Strategy," it might suggest that another good search option is "Social Media Agency." This can be very handy when trying to discover new content or follow a trending topic.
The third, seemingly-minor update is the ability to filter search results down to people you follow. This makes it much easier for users to search through their feed for an old tweet they forgot to favorite or messages from friends. The more I think about this feature, the more excited I am about it. It may seem like a small update, but it has the ability to personalize the Twitter experience in a whole new way.
Social SearchingTwitter recognizes itself as the #1 place for breaking news, which is generally true these days. News is much more likely to hit the Twittersphere before it hits TVs, newspapers, or traditional media websites. For this reason, Twitter has it in mind to make itself the #1 place people go to search for news.Now, Twitter is not the first social network to try its hand at web search. Most notably is the partnership between Bing and Facebook, that generates search results based on what your friends are searching for and liking. However, Twitter's approach is quite different. With the new Twitter search functions, users will still only be searching within the Twitter "Firehose", and the results will also be in real time. This means less junk from the World Wide Web, and more relevant, recent tweets.
Effect on BrandsMost importantly, this update has huge implications for brands running strong Twitter promotions. If the platform is beginning to structure itself for searches, brands will also need to begin structuring their tweets for these searches. Similar to blog posts and websites that are optimized to show up in Google, tweets will need to be optimized for Twitter. This new type of optimization will affect tweets in a couple of ways.
- Hashtags – Hashtags will prove to be even more important in tweets. The old habits of hashtagging will not change, but they will likely have more of an impact in searches. Brands should begin to optimize their hashtags with commonly searched terms. There is a fine line here, of course – no one wants to read a tweet that's all or mostly hashtags.
- Keywords – Similarly, tweets will need to be optimized with keywords. Gone are the days of the arbitrary attention-getting tweet with a link. Tweets should definitely still grab followers' attention, but they should also use keywords that will help them appear in Twitter searches.

New York -- British grocery giant Tesco is moving closer to selling off its U.S. Fresh & Easy division, with Tesco CEO Philip Clarke traveling to the United States next week to try and strike a deal, according to a report in the British newspaper, The Telegraph.
Tesco has held discussions with Trader Joe's and others about selling Fresh & Easy, but a break-up of the business is considered the most likely option, the report said. Other options include closing the business and selling off assets.
All Saints, the U.K. fashion retailer known for its dark interiors and edgy threads, has been bought by British investment firm Lion Capital and U.S. private equity firm Goode Partners, Britain's The Telegraph reported.

What do you think of all the new car related reality shows?
Last night I unfortunately stumbled upon one of the newest car reality shows, but hopefully it won't be on long. It starred a guy named Mark Muller. You probably have never heard of him, but maybe you have heard of his brother, who is the radio shock jock named Mankow(Erich Muller). He also appears on the show, but the show apparently is more about his brother's alleged auto sales business. The show has the over-the-top title "God, Guns and Automobiles". In the opening credits for the show, Mark Muller claims to be a huge gear head and car guy, and if course he supposedly owns a car dealership, which I guess sometimes sells classic cars. He must be in his early 60's, and he's a self professed car guy, so you'd assume he'd know something about classic cars of the 60's.
Well, what happened in the first few seconds of time that I had ever watched this show really illustrated the current state of "reality" shows in America, and helped shine a light on the credibility of these shows. As in all reality shows, they take the shows stars aside and have them sort of narrate what is just about to happen in that portion of the show. So Mark is telling us how he is visiting this classic car dealership, looking at a 1964 Ford Galaxy. Then they show him and Mankow in this shop looking at this, umm, 1964 Galaxy. Problem is, it's NOT a '64...... They don't really show much film of the car, but it appears to be a 1966. It's got the over-under dual headlights instead of the side by side lights of the 64. This might not have been that big a mistake, if the 64-66 Galaxy's shared the same basic body style, but they don't. Ford made a major redesign of the Galaxy in 65. So the later model Galaxy is a VERY different car than the 62-64 design. It amazed me that nobody on that show, including the 60 something year old "car guy", nor the alleged classic car dealer, nor the producers of the show knew the difference and at least edited the narration sequence so that the year of the Galaxy was cut out.
In my opinion, there isn't much if any reality in reality tv anymore, and these classic car buy and sell reality shows seem staged to me. That makes them difficult to watch when you know you're being duped. It's occasionally cool to look at the car pictured in these shows for a few seconds if you happen to switch by that channel, but I turn on something else soon after. I did like Pinks and All Out though.
What's your opinion on these shows?
I like gas monkey garage and the old american hotrod. I could care less about what he knows about what year and this and that. The first guy that got canned at the place I work at got canned cause he knew everything but couldn't do anything. He was a poser. He could tell you about every little option about every car that came in but simply couldn't do the work. Not sure what that means other than don't judge a book by the cover. He might not know what year that is but maybe he's a heck of a wrench.
For the most part, they suck...I mean really suck. I saw a part of the episode that your talking about...and yes, they got the year wrong and that to me, makes them loose all credibility. What pisses me off is that sometimes they get big names in NASCAR that appear on the show...makes me wonder about NASCAR...is that staged as well, is NASCAR another reality show...I don't think it is but, why in Gods name would they bother with poorly constructed shows like the one your talking about.
another one that drives me around the bend and hurts the hobby and the trade is Counting Cars. There is no way that Count's Kustoms could do cars for the price that they do them for. On a recent episode they did a 1962 Chevy Truck for about $15 K...and the truck was rough. Or my utmost most hated and dreded shows about cars, "Fast and Loud"...why people would faithfully watch that dribble, I don't know. However they do and a few people that watch these shows want their car done and when I give them a price, they sometimes tell me "how come so much, I saw a vehicle that was in worse shape than mine and it was done for half the price"...I have to explain to them that it's television and that there are 2 things on TV that aren't real, car-shows and car-toons.
I rarely watch any of these supposed car shows...I can't be bothered...there's usually to much drama or the're flogging some product and not much about vehicles gets discussed or done...if they do work on a vehicle, they often get it wrong. I saw 10 minutes of "Trucks" a week or two ago. They where applying PPG's DP Epoxy Primer. The guy said that induction time was the length of time between coats when induction time is the 1/2 hour you allow the product to sit before it's applied, the length of time between coats is flash time. So what happens to the DYI guy that watches this crap, believes it and mixes up his Epoxy Primer and immediately applies it on his vehicle...chances are it will still work but, the information was wrong.
I could go on and on about the errors I've seen these television celebrity's make...will it change anything, no...just turn it to a different channel....I'm fortunate...when a lot of these shows come on TV early on Saturday morning...so does "The Rifleman", "Gunsmoke" and sometimes I get to watch "The Flinstones", in every opening sequence, Fred goes driving through Bedrock in his car, powered by his own two feet...much more real than the infomercial car shows that are on.
It's all about ratings, and there must be enough people that watch...these shows keep cropping up...it's like they've run out of ideas, when they haven't scratched the surface.
Just my opinion.
Last edited by 69 widetrack; 09-17-2013 at 11:19 PM. Reason: I spelled my name wrong...LOL
what can you do we are the 1%, 99% of america doesn't know the difference or even care they learn some useless lingo and go about there day.
Just my opinion
of course I'd like more technical aspect but not expecting that on TV land. I just like the guy's one liners and humor mainly. I agree with the hack work on these tv shows. It's got a lot of people fooled. When they do show technical know how you can see the hackness of it. On the Chip foose show where they steal someone's car they stripped a car and didn't even really strip it. I always take pride in going over it a gazillion times to get out all the surface rust. Getting it done in 1-2 weeks is just not gonna leave you a good restoration.
But worker quality wasn't really the point of the thread anyway. It's about the quality of so called "reality" tv shows these days. The quality has plummeted IMHO. Not that it was ever wonderful anyway. The point I was making is that the producers of any tv show should do their homework so they don't look stupid to the primarily car guys who watch it(I guess it's primarily car guys but I could be wrong). It's also odd that a car dealer/self proclaimed enthusiast can't tell the difference in a popular car from the most popular US auto era.
Fast and Loud and Gas Monkey are more accurate with their facts in the few minutes I've watched, but its still mostly staged. I'd bet 25-50% of the people on those shows are actors. I'd also guarantee the car deals and the sales are almost all staged as well.
But if people enjoy it, then I guess it's kinda like pro wrestling. If its entertaining, then maybe it doesn't have to be real. So if people enjoy it, then more power to them. I used to watch wrestling as a kid, so there you go...
These are the things I'm talking about, people see this and believe it...and this brings out questions from customers wondering why their car can't be done that fast...it's just wrong.
It's like the pawn shop reality shows. No pawn shop has people walking in all day long with super rare, extremely interesting and historical artifacts. In real reality, they deal with people pawning mid priced and cheap jewelry, power tools and electronic equipment all day long. Not Babe Ruth's rookie card or real 1966 AC Cobras!
How many people live in North America? How many are members of this forum?
Which population would you cater to as an advertiser?
For most people, if you ask them what kind of car they drive, you'd get an answer like "its a blue one"
To be accurate with the facts presumes that the audience can tell the difference. Of the 400 million or thereabouts English-speaking people in North America, how many even know that a starter motor is required to start a gasoline engine?
And you want the sponsors to pay for space to attract THAT small an audience?
And as for the rest - it is somehow 'beneath them" to know anything about something smelly, greasy & dirty like an engine or a car.
Ever wonder how to improve the quality of car-based shows? Improve the level of smarts of the audience!
Total agreement! They are not written (yes... written) for hard-core car enthusiasts. Almost nothing to be learned on these shows, plus they throw in all of the obviously phony drama.
An example would be the "urgent deadlines" that show up way too often. No self-respecting business would even take those jobs, since the quality of the work should take precedence over some (made up) priority.
Another one is the personality clashes, in which somebody would be fired in real life scenarios! ...yet they will be in the next episode!
Here is another example... several guys following a lead on a car by peeking over a guy's back wall! No professional would do that! They would respectfully approach the property owner, instead of lurking around risking arrest! BTW.... there just happened to be a radical television-worthy car in the back! What a coincidence!
I'm done ranting... and done watching! I usually switch to "Are you smarter than a fifth grader". Maybe I will actually learn something! LOL!

I agree with what your saying Dave, the audience needs to be edified and taught before they can appreciate or even care about the difference between a 64 and a 65 Ford. However, that being said, if education is one of the keys needed to improve the level of smarts of the audience, wouldn't a good place to start be to get the information correct in the first place...like the year of the car?
To most people, it doesn't matter and they don't care but if somebody is going to go to the trouble of putting together a show on television and I don't care if it's a cooking show, a how to build a house show or a car show...the information should be more accurate, no matter how many people are watching. They must have somewhat of a following...I've never seen so many car shows on television before with new ones cropping up all the time. It has been said that information is valuable, just a little or wrong information can be dangerous.
Just my opinion.
The bogus deadlines...give me a break, something goes horribly wrong on every episode (car warriors is the worst) and yet with 1.3 seconds to spare a tech magically pulls a solution out of his behind and saves the day. Things happen in every trade where sometimes for unknown and uncontrolable circumstances a commitment can't be made...I pick up the phone and explain to the customer...that usually works better than trying to find that Technician with the magic behind...LOL
I have stopped guys driving down the road to talk about cars, sometimes it's met with enthusiasm other times I've been told that I'm number 1 with a middle finger gesture...LOL. However, I wouldn't be brave enough to climb a fence, trespass on another persons property while wearing a Wife beater T shirt and a bandanna in the hopes of finding an automotive gem, especially in larger centers like Los Vegas. I think my excitement might eventually be met with a bullet or at the very least a large dog with an attitude.
Good Rant Jay
I have enjoyed a few of them like Monster Garage, but now honestly I can't take a minute of them. That guy with the head band from Pawn stars, OMG he is the biggest ****** bag ever! It's all about ego, it is BORING and childish and I don't even turn them on EVER.
It's like "American Pickers" I love that show.....for what it is, not what is created.

Socialising across channels : group multichannel communication
Heyer, Clint & Brereton, Margot (2006) Socialising across channels : group multichannel communication. In Kjeldskov, Jesper & Paay, Jeni (Eds.) OzCHI 2006 Proceedings of the 18th Australia conference on Computer-Human Interaction: Design: Activities, Artefacts and Environments, 20 - 24 November 2006, Australia, New South Wales, Sydney.
|Published Version (PDF 130kB)
People increasingly communicate over multiple channels, such as SMS, email and IM. Choosing the channel for interaction is typically a considered action and shapes the message itself. In order to explore how people make sense of communication mediums and more generally, social group behaviour, we developed a multichannel communication prototype. Preliminary results indicate that multichannel communication was considered very useful in the group context even considering the increased quantity of messages while it was little used for person-to-person interaction.

Voicemail to email going wild
- Purple, 4500 points or more
Cisco Designated VIP,
2017 Firewalling, VPN
Hi all,
it took me some time to get the voicemail to email working so I want to share what went wrong if anyone runs into the same problem:
My Setup:
UC320w with software 2.2.3 (5), but same problem was there with the last GA.
I send the mails to my own mail-server (Postfix) where the final receipients are. Because there is no mail-relay in this setup I did not configure a username and password as it is not needed when mails are sent to local receipients.
In this setup the Mails were not sent as an attachment, but were scrambled as ... well, shown in the picture.
I experimented with and without TLS, with different ports my mailserver is listening on but no success.
The only thing that helped was to enable authentication by providing a username and password. For the functionality of SMTP it is not needed, but the uc320w probably is not aware of that ...
regards, Karsten

US STOCKS-Wall St tumbles on global slowdown concern; Disney slumps
* Bernstein downgrade hits Disney, media stocks tumble
* Report of declining smartphone sales in China hits Apple
* Indexes down: Dow 2.1 pct, S&P 2.1 pct, Nasdaq 2.8 pct (Adds comment, updates volume)
By Rodrigo Campos
Aug 20 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 tumbled to a more than six-month low on Thursday, closing in negative territory for the year, on concern a decelerating Chinese economy will translate into slower global growth.
Consumer stocks led the decline on Wall Street with Disney down 6 percent after a brokerage downgrade, while Apple fell 2 percent after a report that overall smartphone sales in China fell in the second quarter.
Concern about the Chinese economy was underscored by a near 8 percent slide in the Shanghai stock index so far this week and after the Commerce Ministry said Wednesday exports could continue falling in coming months.
"The largest issue is certainly the fact that we don't know how much the Chinese economy is slowing," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities in New York.
"That's manifesting itself in lower oil prices," he said, pointing to the correlation between stocks and crude futures. Continuación...

Nikki Reed Clears Up Robert Pattinson Twitter Feud
After her morning workout, Nikki Reed took some time to run errands in Studio City, CA today (April 25).
The fresh-faced actress pulled off the casual look with her hair pulled back as she rocked a bright turquoise sports bra under her grey tee while taking a break from the recent Twitter feud rumors.
In personal news, the "Twilight" star recently battled an alleged tweet war against her co-star, Robert Pattinson, after a fan hacked into her account and shared, "Met a girl at #Coachella who asked me to give a letter to Rob. Um, I will if his bodyguards let me."
Miss Reed was quick to fire back on Tuesday (April 24), tweeting, "I never tweeted that guys. Go to my twitter and whosay page to see my tweets. Anyone can write a tweet with my Twitter handle."
Only hours later, the 23-year-old beauty added, "I never write nasty things about people. Especially not my friends or co workers. That was clearly photoshopped. Let's get it together and stop getting excited over negativity. Lets focus on the good and start spreading positive messages."
Enjoy the pictures of Nikki Reed running errands in Studio City, CA (April 25).

Several States Moving Closer To Marrying Gay Couples, Lambda Legal Says as Massachusetts Prepares To Issue Licenses Starting Monday
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(New York, Wednesday, May 12, 2004) -- As Massachusetts prepares to begin issuing marriage license to same-sex couples on Monday, Lambda Legal said today that efforts are intensifying to win marriage for lesbian and gay couples in several other states - and lawsuits identical to the case that won marriage in Massachusetts may reach high courts in New Jersey and Washington State by the end of 2004.
"We're living in historic times that will be looked back on by generations to follow. This isn't just one historic moment in Massachusetts next week - it's the start of what will be a long period of progress and breakthroughs, with gay couples in other states also winning the right to marry and finally being treated equally under the law," said Kevin Cathcart, Executive Director of Lambda Legal. "Lesbian and gay couples need the protections marriage provides, and they need them where they live and pay their taxes. We are closer than ever to making that a reality in several states."
For the last decade, Lambda Legal has been pursuing a state-by-state strategy to win marriage for same-sex couples. Currently, Lambda Legal is suing for marriage on behalf of lesbian and gay couples in New Jersey, New York, Washington State (with the Northwest Women's Law Center) and California (with NCLR, the ACLU and Equality California). All of those cases are in state courts, arguing that denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples violates their rights under state constitutions.
And all of those cases are heating up this month, Cathcart said. In New Jersey, Lambda Legal filed appeal papers last week and the case should move quickly to a final ruling. In Washington State, Lambda Legal and NWLC filed motions for a prompt ruling last week, and attorneys for the state and King County have agreed to move the case quickly. In New York, attorneys for the city are set to respond to Lambda Legal's lawsuit on Monday, just as couples begin marrying in Massachusetts. And in California, hearings are scheduled for later this month and early next month in nearly a half-dozen marriage-related lawsuits that Lambda Legal and the other groups either filed or intervened in on behalf of same-sex couples.
"We get calls every day from lesbian and gay people who are left vulnerable because they cannot secure the basic protections and security for their relationships that marriage provides. The legal patchwork that some couples can piece together without marriage does not come close to the protections of marriage itself," Cathcart said. "Unless same-sex couples can get married, they are not treated equally under the law. And when they can get married, nobody else is harmed - heterosexual marriages remain intact and aren't jeopardized in any way by same-sex couples being treated equally."
Background Materials:

Check Multiple Gmail Accounts
If you're a regular user of Gmail, you must be interested in my earlier post, Gmail notifier and Email notifications.If you've several or multiple accounts of gmail, you must be already facing the same issue faced by millions of Gmail users in opening or logging into your account. You need to logout everytime to login to another Gmail account and again logout to view any other Gmail account. I think Google heard the users inconvenience and has come up with a solution. Google has provided with the option for the millions of Gmail users, of login to multiple or several Gmail accounts at the same time. No login and logout. Check Multiple Gmail accounts in one go!
To do this, visit Google Accounts page of your Google account. To do this, you need to login with any of your Gmail or Google account.
Once you enter the page, you're given the option for changing your "Personal Settings". In the Personal settings of your google account, you have the option of editing the new feature "Multiple Sign-in".
You're presented with the facility of sign in to multiple google accounts. You need to accept the google terms kind of thing, before you save this page. Also, this sign in to multiple google accounts only works with few Google Products at this time like Calendar, Reader, Code, Sites, Gmail, Voice, since this is still in initial kind of stage, or otherwise called the Beta stage.
Once you sign up for Gmail and login to your first account, you've the additional facility of login or sign in to two more accounts from the advanced accounts menu on the top right hand corner of Gmail. You can toggle forth between these accounts. Also you can open multiple Gmail tabs, with each tab for each account.
To do this, all you need to do is, right click on "Sign in to another account" and open link in new tab ( For Google Chrome browser) or open in new window.
Hurray! You have two Gmail accounts open at once. All you need to do is just change tabs to check mails.

Plastic Bag Bans: A Feel-Good Eco-Fad
Posted in the Columbus Forum

Plastic Bag Bans: Another Feel-Good Eco-Fad
By Todd Myers
Across the country, cities are joining the latest environmental trend banning plastic grocery bags. Concerned about the amount of plastic that reaches our oceans and the impact on wildlife, communities have decided that banning the bags is a simple and environmentally responsible approach.
But is it? What does the science say?
The evidence points to the fact that banning the bags may actually be a net negative for the environment, yielding little benefit to wildlife while significantly increasing carbon emissions and other environmental impacts.
Advocates of banning plastic grocery bags often cite impacts on marine life and mammals, but they rarely attempt to quantify that impact. Unfortunately, many attempts to quantify those impacts are simply false or misleading. For example, one city council in Washington state was told the ecological impacts of this plastic include over a million sea-birds and 100,000 marine mammals killed by either plastic ingestions or entanglement.
In fact, the claim about harm to marine mammals and sea-birds has nothing to do with plastic bags. NOAA corrected the claim about seabirds on its web page saying,We are so far unable to find a scientific reference for this figure. The only study NOAA can find does not deal with plastic bags or even marine debris, but active fishing gear bycatch, in other words, fishing nets that are being used at sea, not discarded plastic bags.
The Times of London addressed this very issue in 2008, even quoting a Greenpeace biologist saying,Its very unlikely that many animals are killed by plastic bags. The evidence shows just the opposite. We are not going to solve the problem of waste by focusing on plastic bags.
One of the most commonly heard claims is that plastic bags, and other plastic, have created the Pacific Garbage Patch. Some claim it is twice the size of Texas. This is simply false. Last year, Oregon State University reported that the actual amount is less than one percent the size of Texas. Oceanography professor Angel White sent out a release last year saying,There is no doubt that the amount of plastic in the worlds oceans is troubling, but this kind of exaggeration undermines the credibility of scientists.
Additionally, White notes that the amount of plastic in the ocean hasnt been increasing. For example, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute found the amount of plastic in the Atlantic Ocean hasnt increased since the 1980s.
This doesnt mean plastic bags cause no impact. When determining the environmental costs and benefits, however, we need to be honest about the science.
Indeed, there are risks from banning plastic grocery bags.
The most significant environmental risk from banning plastic bags is the increase in energy use. Plastic bags are the most energy-efficient form of grocery bag. The U.K. Environment Agency compared energy use for plastic, paper and re-usable bags. It found the global warming potential of plastic grocery bags is one-fourth that of paper bags and 1/173rd that of a reusable cotton bag. In other words, consumers would have to use a reusable cotton bag 173 times before they broke even from an energy standpoint. Thus, even if consumers switched to reusable bags, it is not clear there would be a reduced environmental impact.
The U.K. Environment Agency study is echoed by other research as well, and the reason is simple grocery stores began using plastic bags in part because they are cheaper to produce, in part because they use less energy to manufacture.
Finally, it should be noted that the benefit of banning plastic bags is mitigated by the fact that half of the bags are used for other purposes, like for garbage bags or for picking up after pets. Grocery shoppers will still have to buy other bags, likely plastic, for those purposes.

The UK is quoted several times! We generally reuse bags and bring durable bags. Most (all?) stores charge per bag used. You see a load less plastic bag litter out here. But it is a pain to get charged if you forget yours.

And you see a lot more e coli and other illnesses caused by bacteria growing in your reusable bags.
But hey...you've got the good old "free" NHS to take care of you, right?

I think our rates of e coli are a lot lower than in the US?

Wake up, Sherlock. It's not about food quality at the time of purchase. It's about the meat drippings and specks of organic matter on fruits and vegetables that stay in your reusable bag for weeks and months that become germ factories:
Video: Reusable grocery bags can harbor bacteria
The sturdy reusable grocery bag traveled with the girls' soccer team from Beaverton to Seattle for a weekend tournament, where it picked up something much less sweet than the cookies inside.
But the team members didn't know highly contagious viruses were on the bag as they passed it around during Sunday lunch, plucking out the chocolate goodies.
The next day six of the girls fell violently ill in a mysterious outbreak of norovirus, the leading cause of severe gastroenteritis in the United States.
It took Oregon scientists about five days of intensive sleuthing to pinpoint the bag as the likely culprit and lab tests to confirm its role.
All of the six girls had eaten at the Sunday lunch. They kept mentioning the cookies, which had been passed around in the bag. The cookies were bought at a store and hadn't been opened. The only common denominator was the bag.
The first sick girl never touched the bag, but it was in the chaperone's bathroom when the girl got sick. Another team member saw it and took it to the Sunday lunch.
"It was a perfect vehicle for transmission," Repp said.

Yes, what I'm saying is that due to feeding and packaging differences, many countries don't have as many bacteria to transfer about. Meat drippings in countries where e coli and salmonella are less rampant are much less of an issue. I've lived in places where eating raw chicken, eggs and beef, while unthinkable in the states, are common.
Even with our high risk reusable bag habit, we've got a lower rate of foodborne illnesses.

Will they ever give up the nonsense?
We went to plastic from paper because of the environment, now they want to do something else. Is it possible for them to stay focused?
They forced McDonalds and others to switch from Styrofoam to paper wrappers. The recycling regulations say that paper that has been used to cover food cannot be recycled because it's porous and cannot be sufficiently cleaned to get the food particles removed. On the reverse, Styrofoam is non-porous thus could be recycled.
Will this ever end. Is there a brain trust that they can get a donation from?

The move to paper was a pretty great idea, polystyrene recycling rates were (and continue to be) tragically low. Mc D's was just tossing it out. Tossing biodegradable paper seems like a much easier way to go!

You people are beyond hypocritical...you bemoan Styrofoam (back in the day for CFCs; today that's not an issue) but forced a law upon us requiring only the sale of compact fluorescent light bulbs containing mercury.
Anything for your pathological agenda of state control.
#13 Jul 31, 2012
I'm a germaphobe so at the end of the day, that's most important. Living without having to worry about sickness or disease is a recent phenomenon. Anything that promotes sanitary living is a small price to pay to remain healthy.
Paper, plastic - who cares?
Reuseable? Hard for me to believe that running it through the washer all the time is any better for the environment than throwing away a plastic bag. Incidentally, my understanding is that bags are made of what's left at the end of the refining process, which is basically refined products we would be throwing away if not for the fact that we were making bags out of it. So it's not as much of a waste as people think (if this is true).
I also think people make a good point about using these bags for other things. I use about half of them for regular trash. I would have to go back to buying bags if not for all the free bags from the grocery.

Greetings, oh WordPress experts!
I am looking for a gallery plugin that allows registered users on a WP site to upload images, preferably from the front end but if I need to teach them to use the admin panel then so be it. Site admins would create galleries, and then users can choose which of those to upload their image to.
The only plugin I really found was Photosmash but that's out of date and no longer supported, so I'm kinda stuck.
Everyone just keeps suggesting nextGEN at me but unless I'm missing something it doesn't have the option for regular users to upload stuff? Also it seems to break Simple:Press forum and I'd rather not have to dive into the plugin code and figure out why.
Any other suggestions would be most welcome!
I think that there isn't any plugins that do what you need, however you can integrate this plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-submitted-posts/) with WordPress custom post types and create a great categorized gallery page, where users can submit their images
I actually did a very similar website for a client, except it didn't had categories I think that the best solution for you, would be contacting a WP programmer (like me ).
Ah that'll work, brilliant thankyou!
I was starting to think I'd have to build an entire plugin myself, which wasn't very appealing on a site I'm building for free as a favour, so this looks like much less work
