Kildare, some thirty miles from Dublin, is the junction for the Kilkenny branch of the line.
Damis hesitated as the Kildare's keen gray eyes bored into his own.
The overthrow of the Kildare Geraldines was necessary, but had its inconveniences.
Followed by Damis and a score of Earthmen, the Kildare led the way into a building.
Kildare gave a grunt of disgust, entered the cell, and removed the manacles from Frank's wrists.
"And to any of them, Glavour's ship may have fled," replied the Kildare.
Move all available troops by shortest route to Kildare at once and report to me personally at Ardsley.
Kildare said nothing more, but left the cell, locking the door behind him.
He remained Bishop of Kildare for eighteen years, during which he was turned out of house and home three times by the rebels.
By the 31st the rebels in Meath, Kildare, and Carlow had lost all heart.

About the Book
This book is the true story of a 1946 Aeronca Champ airplane that was stored in a hangar in Brownsville TX. The restoration had been started but was suspended for a number of years because of other priorities. Bob brought the airplane home to Oklahoma where it was rebuilt to like new condition. The book teaches the lesson that if you have patience and wait your turn, good things will come to you. Original artwork and photos of the airplane while being restored and photos of the completed airplane.

Swiss National Bank 'Out of Their Tiny Little Minds'
By Stephen Bernard and Vincent Cignarella
By setting an exchange-rate floor, the Swiss National Bank is setting itself up to fail.
When the euro breached the SNB's floor last week, senior foreign-exchange dealers wrote off the move as a technicality and not a true test of the central bank's resolve. If history is any gauge, a real test is coming. Speculators will once again attack the floor, hoping to break the back of the central bank.
But just by saying it wants to keep the euro-Swiss franc exchange rate above CHF1.20, a person who 20 years ago found himself in a similar position as this small European nation's central bankers believes the SNB may have already lost.
"I think they are out of their tiny little minds to mention a target to the markets," said Jim Trott, the chief dealer for the Bank of England when it failed to hold the floor on the U.K. pound-Deutsche mark in 1992.

This position of confidence was occupied for twenty years by the grand secretary, Li Hung-chang.
There were reasonable men, however, who had seen the necessity of reform—especially Li Hung-chang, who has already been mentioned.
Li Hung-chang, the Empress's firm adherent during all her long tenure of power, is beginning to be known in England.
They speak of her generally in connection with Li Hung-chang, the unscrupulous; and they shake their heads over them both.
Li Hung-chang 518 lay back in his chair and chuckled, not offended but delighted with the retort.
The next step in railway construction was taken by the Chinese themselves, and on the initiative of Li Hung-chang.
The admiral, however, hailed from another province—that of Li Hung-chang.
Li Hung-chang had to a considerable extent imbued the Court with his own ideas.
Since the death of Li Hung-chang he ranks first in the estimation of his countrymen.
The best known of recent grand secretaries was Li Hung-chang.

"Now it is time for Republican leaders in Congress to draw a line in the sand and take the pledge. The only way Republican leverage on the debt ceiling will work is if they're willing to not increase the debt ceiling."—ALG President Bill Wilson.
June 21st, 2011, Fairfax, VA—Americans for Limited Government President Bill Wilson will be joining Senators Jim DeMint, Marco Rubio, Orrin Hatch, and House Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Jordan tomorrow, along with other free market and limited government leaders at a press conference in support of the "Cut, Cap, and Balance" Pledge.
Wilson called on all members in Congress to take the pledge. "In exchange for any vote to increase the $14.294 trillion debt ceiling, it is imperative that Republican leaders demand hundreds of billions of immediate spending cuts, statutory spending caps to no more than 18 percent of GDP, and a Balanced Budget Amendment with strong tax and spending limitations," he said.
The pledge is targeted to all federal elected officials as well as candidates for federal office including the presidency.
"With the national debt rapidly spiraling out of control, rising to more than $26 trillion by 2021, the nation's obligations are becoming too large to finance without a printing press," Wilson warned, adding, "Congressional Republicans need to use the leverage they have — now — before the debt gets too large to even refinance, let alone be repaid."
Wilson praised Senators Jim DeMint, Orrin Hatch, Mike Lee, Jerry Moran, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Pat Toomey, along with Representatives Jason Chaffetz, Jim Jordan, Ron Paul, and Joe Walsh for being the first members of Congress to sign the pledge.
"The sovereign debt crisis is coming to America. One need only look at Europe to see what is in store for the nation, and these Senators and Representatives deserve the thanks of the American people for their courageous stand to restore order to the nation's fiscal house," Wilson said.
"There should be no vote to further increase the debt ceiling unless the American people have the assurance that it will not need to be increased again, and again, and again," Wilson said, concluding, "Now it is time for Republican leaders in Congress to draw a line in the sand and take the pledge. The only way Republicans' leverage on the debt ceiling will work is if they're willing to not increase the debt ceiling."

Healthy Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Fish Tank
Spring Cleaning: Fish Tank
Undoubtedly, there has been a few times where you have let your fish tank go a little longer than normal between cleanings. A good thorough cleaning should happen at least once a month, where you replace at least ten percent of the water, clean off decorative accents, and vacuum or siphon the rocks. Since the primary cause of nitrate and algae in fish tanks is due to natural debris accumulating in the tank, cleaning the rocks and decorations is key to keep your tank (and fish) healthy.
If you have a seriously dirty tank, you may need to attack in sections over a few weeks to prevent new tank syndrome and disrupting your tank's pH balance, by cleaning a portion of the rocks and decorations at a time. Once you're all caught up, though, how do you maintain a good, clean tank? For some healthy tank tips, just
- First off, never clean with soap. Even if you feel as if you rinsed the tank really well, there will most likely be residue left and it is super harmful to your fish.
- Small fish bowls can be cleaned every few weeks with 30 to 50 percent new water and a good scrub of the walls and rocks.
- Aquariums, although more labor intensive, can have 10 to 30 percent of the water replaced every week. Make sure it is room temperature and is the proper water for your fish (fresh vs. salt water).
- Clean or change your filter (if it's really dirty) once every two weeks. This will help to keep the water in your tank sparkly clean, not to mention healthy for your fishy friends.
- Siphon or vacuum the gravel, rocks, and decorations in your aquarium once a month.

Starlight Starbright
ANIMAX was just asked by the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation to create a DVD version of the award-winning website Coping with Chemo that we created for them last year.
We're also creating a series of websites to help kids understand a range of health related issues including sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, kidney failure, what an IV is for, and a few other topics. We've actually been doing a lot of health industry work where we use animation to help communicate difficult subject matter in a more palatable way for children and adults.

Thank God for KCRW!
Okay, maybe that's a bit much, but we have to thank KCRW for one of our favorite clients, SL-Tech. SL-Tech offers a range of solutions for school districts and cafeteria systems as well as for families with kids in school.
After hearing a profile about them on NPR's All Things Considered, we picked up the phone and cold called them. That one call spiraled into us helping SL-Tech reconnect with their business and consumer client base in several new ways, from a wholesale identity campaign to marketing collateral production to character animation to a pending redesign of their website (due in January).
We must give props to Dale Carnegie for their cold calling class - cold calling is evil. It's ugly and dehumanizing and usually a waste of time. Until you happen upon a gem.
Thanks Dale. You're swell.

BALI UPDATE #586 - 03 December 2007
All I Want for Christmas is an Economy Class Seat!
Garuda Adds Seats and Deploys Service Teams to Keep Passenger Happy of the Christmas and New Year Period.
Garuda Indonesia have announced that they will add 9.984 seats on its flights to Bali (Denpasar) over the coming Christmas and New Year's holiday period.
Communication with the
Bali Post
, the airline's Vice President Pujobroto has confirmed that 19,450 additional seat to six destinations between the dates of December 19, 2006 until January 10, 2007.
In addition to the additional capacity to Bali,
will also add 268 seat to Batam; 804 seats to Solo; 804 seats to Pekanbaru; 6,880 seats to Singapore; and 810 seats to Hong Kong.
will generate the additional seat capacity either by adding frequencies or utilizing larger aircraft on existing services.
During the critical traffic periods of 20-26 December
will deploy senior managers to various flight centers as members of special service teams to address problems and devise solutions as they arise in order to maximize service to the public.
Seeking Continental Advice
Interview: Jusuf Kalla Calls for the Hiring of European Aviation Consultants.
Vice President Jusuf Kalla has instructed
Garuda Indonesia
to seek a European based consultant in order to enhance the quality and standards of aviation safety. The instructions to hire a foreign consultant comes as something of a surprise from the man who has made no secret of his preference for local consultants.
An interview with the Vice President published in the
Bali Post
on December 1, 2007, provides backgrounds on Kalla's call for the urgent hiring of a European aviation consultant.
The Interview: Jusuf Kalla
Bali Post:
Why do you want to use a consultant from the European Union?
Jusuf Kalla:
Standards of safety and the quality of aviation in Europe is sometimes of a higher standard, even when compared to America (FAA). They have their own standard and we must improve our standards. I have ordered PT Garuda to seek a European consultant to fix those things we must fix.
Bali Post:
What actually needs to be done by the Indonesian aviation sector?
Jusuf Kalla:
What must be done by Indonesia is to improve the standards of safety and security on its flights, not to undertake protests or threaten retaliatory flight bans. The cornerstone of every flight is safety. Because of that, the standards used by the European Union are appropriate everyone, including Indonesia. And, don't forget, this is about our image. Because of this I have advanced Garuda (first); if Garuda can fly to Europe that would be nice.
Bali Post:
Will Indonesia retaliate with banning flights?
Jusuf Kalla:
Don't be mad with the Europeans, look upon this as a wake up call to improve quality and safety of our flights. How can we be angry at someone else when it is us ourselves who have failed to make the grade? Don't be emotional for that will only further reduce the quality and image of Indonesian aviation.
Close Up on Building Rules in Bali
The Bali Land Grab: A Practical Guide to "Set Back" Rules for Building Along Beach or River Fronts.

My Son and I
An Exhibition of Art by Sasya Tranggono and Nicholas Hilman December 14, 2007 - March 7, 2007 at Jenggala Gallery.
Sasya Tranggono
Sasya Tranggono is an eminent name among Indonesia's watercolor artists. Describe by many as "feminine" because of her use of soft color, flowers and titles. Born into a Javanese family of entrepreneurs and educated in the West, Sasya decided to embark on a mission to express herself and her cultural identity via her artwork. To Sasya, flowers are simple objects that can be presented beyond themselves.
As art critic Jean Couteau says of her: "Sasya wraps the flowers in a magical aura of color that locates them beyond the 'real'. The flowers belong to the "unreality" of longing - the longing for an Indonesian identity."
Sasya studied industrial engineering at
Smith College
in Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York (BSC: 1987); She is also a graduate in business administration from the
Rotterdam School of Management in Erasmus University,
The Netherlands (MBA: 1991). Sasya's art skills debut at the
Vrije Academie
Rotterdam, The Netherlands (1995). She also belongs to the
Werve Shell Art Club
in The Hague, The Netherlands.
Nicholas Hilman
Nicholas Hilman was born in 1994 in The Hague. Nicholas started to paint at the age of 2.5 years, learning his painting lessons from his mother Sasya Tranggono. Many of his works are inspired by his daily life as a child growing up in a big city. His ideas are caught from people he meets, media he is exposed to and trips he has taken. From a scene of Godfather movie to the busy city of Jakarta, as well as his schoolmates - all are interesting sources of inspirations for his paintings on canvas as well as ceramics. His fondness of cooking and food are also reflected on his ceramic artworks as well as paintings. Seemingly unconcerned with style and techniques, Nicholas plays more freely with his theme. Such unconstrained concept makes for a wonderful variation of thematic artworks.
Using a brilliant choice of bright colors, Nicholas plays with all that interests him, landscape, objects and figures. It might be too early to mention his style but looking at the colors and figures, such as in
people might suppose he has seen the artworks of Austrian artist Hunderstwasser, New York's Jean-Michel Basquiat and Indonesian painter Eddy Hara. In his painting titled
Fake Money,
for example, he points out consumerism culture by illustrating credit card as a tool for buying clothes, shoes, and a cemetery lot. On his ceramic pieces, the odd nature of raw glazed ceramics that absorb color instantly do not make him awkward in manifesting his ideas.
"My Son and I",
Nicholas wishes to introduce his works to a Bali audience.

Visitors to Bali and delegate attending the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
between December 3 - 14, 2007 will have the opportunity to purchase trees saplings that will eventually become part of a "new" forest on the barren island of Nusa Penida, located only a few miles from Bali's shores.

Seeds for Bali
is a non-profit program initiated by
Bank Danamon Indonesia
and co-sponsored by
Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC),
in partnership with
Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF).
The program aims to pilot reforestation efforts on some of the most arid places in Bali, with "seed money" provided by
Danamon, BTDC
and donations from
American Express Card members
Through the promotion of
Seeds for Bali
at 3 tented locations in Bali the organizers hope to help accelerate public awareness on the important role of trees and reforestation in the effort to combat global warming. Via the sale of subsidized trees for eventual planting on Nusa Penida, participants will make a real impact on a specific micro-habitat conservation effort, offset their carbon footprint and make a positive contribution to the economy of Bali.
Working with
Friends of the National Park Foundation (FNPF)
, a ten hectare block of land at Nusa Penida's Puncak Temu and another plot of equal size at Adegan Village have been chosen to receive the thousands of trees targeted to be sold during the
The project works to ensure an 80% survival rate of the trees through the end of fifth year by working with local communities who help raise seedlings, prepare ground for planting, establishing catchments systems, undertake site maintenance and ongoing plant care.
the executor of
Seeds for Bali
program, estimates the cost of caring for a tree for 5 years is around US$3.30 per plant.
The choice of seedlings is based on a wide range of native species deemed suitable for the extreme conditions existing at the planting area, able to benefit local wildlife and birds, provide an economic benefit to the local community and have a firm connection to local cultural traditions.
Among the trees selected for Nusa Penida are sandalwood and mahogany trees with planting scheduled to commence in mid-December. An aerial surveillance program will be employed to track progress and safeguard the new plantings.
Donors and interested parties will be able to monitor the project on line at [

A Balinese Story of Turtles and Dolphins
New Tri-lingual Children's Book Provides Valuable Lessons on How to Save Bali's Natural Environment.
Education is the key to environmental awareness, and language is the vehicle that endows us with the ability to learn and understand. Indonesia's ancient tradition of story-telling is slowly giving way to reading and a modern lifestyle that provides much less time for leisure activities and precious family time with our children.
Creating a story for children in three languages for Bali - a group of concerned individuals comprising a writer, illustrator, story-teller, architect, environmental activist and publisher - all came together to create the
"Penyu dan Lumba-Lumba" (Turtle and Dolphin)
, each drawing upon their own particular skill in order to create a meaningful educational tool for the children of Bali.
"This is the first in a series of those books, telling the stories of birds, animals and children who are experiencing the life-threatening problems caused by plastic waste and rubbish which is dumped in the rivers and ends up in the sea on the island of Bali," says writer Maggie Dunkle.
The Clean Bali Series
has as its mission to educate through having fun. As the children learn to deal with the rubbish they also discover their social responsibility. Together, they will be able to make a change.
Working with Balinese story-teller Made Taro, well known on the Island for his passion in keeping traditional children's games and story-telling alive, gave the team a special understanding of how children learn by playing together. Today's children are often solitary and lacking in social skills, their main source of out-of-school learning being television and video games, sometimes violent, and rarely educational.
Including beautiful full-page illustrations by Margiyono, the team has also included a board game at the back of the book (plus a separate game-board in a bag) together with a song composed by Komang Dhananjaya Wishnuputra that children can learn and supplement with addition verses of their own. These combined elements of creativity, playing and fun are what makes this first book in the series so very special.
Through a program of generous sponsorship that includes
Metro Department Store
Cerebrofort Kalbe Farma,
3000 pre-purchased books will be given away free to local schools, with a focus on reaching those in coastal areas first, where environmental degradation due to rubbish is particularly serious. Another 2000 books will be distributed for sale in the bookshops of Bali, and the proceeds from these sales will go into funding future editions.
"Penyu dan Lumba-lumba"
is destined to become a handy teaching tool. To ensure that teachers are able to make good use of this book in their classrooms, the
Clean Bali Series
team and the publisher,
Saritaksu Editions
are working with
Yayasan Gelombang Udara Segar (GUS)
- a local foundation to distribute the book to schools. The foundations ongoing environmental educational program in schools has already reached some 15,000 children in more than 200 schools.

EU Continues its Blacklist of Indonesian Aviation
European Auditors Conclude that the Safety Administration of Indonesia's Air Space is Still Found Wanting.
Long-awaited reports from the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
that could have cleared the way for the lifting of the current blacklisting of Indonesian aviation have now been published. While noting improvements have been made in aviation safety,
decided to leave the current ban in place, saying much remains to be done before the skies of the Republic can be declared "safe" for European travelers.
reviewed the results of a six-man team sent to Indonesia to audit safety of domestic carriers. The
aviation safety and environment director Roberto Salvarani announced that "both the Indonesian presentation and the report of the audit by our own experts indicate there has been some progress." Adding "it (progress) is marginal when compared with the overall restructuring that the administration needs to do."
Placing much of the blame on Indonesia's civil aviation authority, Salvarani called for a complete reorganization, with sufficient resources and political commitment to ensute the Government is competent to oversee 42 air operators. Salvarani concluded, "it's obvious that today it cannot...so the decision was taken that the entire fleet from Indonesia will remain on the blacklist."
The continuing "blacklisting" prohibits Indonesian aircraft from landing in Europe, a ban of little consequence given the fact that no Indonesian carrier currently flies to any European port. At the same time, however, the ban continue to casts Indonesian aviation in a negative light and thwarts the desires and abilities of European travelers to visit Indonesian destinations beyond their international port of arrival.
In reaching its decision to continue its negative review of Indonesian air operations, the
exchanged notes with the Australian Civil Aviation Authority and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration who reportedly supported the EU view that the administration of Indonesian flight operations still suffered from major weaknesses.
Protests from Indonesian Authorities
The Indonesian press reports that the Minister of Transportation, Jusman Syafii Djamal, was indignant at the continuing blacklisting of Indonesian aviation, depicting the decision as "discrimitive" and vowing to send a letter of protest to the EU Commission on Transportation.
Menawhile, the Minister is resisting calls from national politicians to introduce retalitory bans on European carriers over-flying Indonesian air space.

Editorial: Bali Meeting Seeks a World Consensus to Prevent a Global Melt Down.
While Bali prepares to host leadership delegations from more than 189 countries at the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC),
it's worthwhile to re-emphasize here how vitally important the meetings and declarations hammered out between December 3-14th will be to the people of the world.
Lest we be in doubt as to what's at stake, the words of the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, who say that the Earth faces a real scenario more terrifying than any science fiction movies should serve as a haunting reminder of what must be achieved in Bali.
His statements echoed the conclusions of the
U.N.'s Forth Assessment Report on Climate Change
representing the considered opinions of over 100 climate change scientists who continue to monitor the world's steady decline down the slippery slope of a warmer planet. When men and women of science who are normally inclined to speak in couched terms begin to shout dire warnings, the world would do well to listen.
Asia is on the front line of the battle against global warming. The world's most populous nations, who may soon be unable to feed their people due anticipated crop failures, could lose hard won economic and social advances if the world doesn't deal with curbing greenhouse gasses.
Indonesia, where
estimates that areas equivalent to 300 soccer fields are deforested
hour, is at once the biggest potential loser or winner in the final outcome of the discussions and initiatives to be launched in Bali.
What's at Stake?
Just to help focus all our minds as the Bali Climate Change dialogue commences, it might be worth listing the following salient considerations:
. Asia is home to nearly two-thirds of the world's population. Of this total, half live near coastal areas likely to be adversely affected by rising water levels. Are recent floods of North Jakarta which cut off Indonesia's main airport only a hint of what lies ahead?
. Melting glaciers and alpine snow, disappearing ice caps and warming permafrost areas are already changing the economic complexion of wide areas of the world and putting the future viability of entire species in serious doubt.
. The U.N. warns that by the end of the current century surface temperatures will rise between 1.1 degree and 6. degrees centigrade as compared to the recorded averages in the last two decades of the last century. As a result, expect ocean levels to increase 18 centimeters.
. The U.N. also suggests that the current epidemic of heat waves, rainstorms, tropical cyclones and deadly ocean surges are merely precursors of weather phenomena expected to become more common, more widespread and more intense with each passing year.
. While the poor in New Orleans seemed to suffer most in the wake of Katrina, so too were the impoverished people living of Bangladesh devastated by the tropical cyclone
in November 2007. Those people already living in economic jeopardy in coastal and delta areas across Asia are destined to be the ones who suffer worst by changes in weather now underway.
. As Margaret Thatcher warned more than two decades ago, future wars will be fought over water and the rights to access water sources. Fresh water sources throughout Asia are on the decline which will have profound effects on agricultural production and community health.
. UN scientists studying climate change also paint grim pictures of growing world hunger, more disease, violent storms, prolonged droughts and the possible extinction of up to 70% of current plant and animal species.
The Important Work of the Bali Conference
What's at stake in Bali is an urgent and workable continuance to the solutions initially hammered out in Kyoto in 1997. At the very least, there must be a wider acknowledgement of the need to reduce greenhouse gasses among the 190 countries represented in Bali, achieving a degree of unanimity beyond the paltry 35 nations that finally signed on to the Kyoto Protocols. Nations, such as the U.S. and Australia, who refused to sign the Kyoto Protocols arguing that their economic interests outweigh any wider global need to address climate change should be roundly condemned if they fail to exercise their moral responsibility following the Bali conference.
We are only half-joking when we suggest delegates attending the Bali conference failing to devise a concrete program to curb greenhouse gasses should be barred from boarding their carbon-junkie private jets standing by at Bali's airport, inviting the "do-nothing" delegates to swim home in the increasingly luke-warm oceans just off Bali's shores.

Unprecedented Police and Military Presence on Bali to Safeguard the UN Climate Change Conference December 3 - 14, 2007.
Saying that Indonesia's international reputation depends on maintaining safety during the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
, the
Bali Post
provided a pre-conference summary of the extensive security precautions now in place on the Island.
Drills using aircraft, mobile brigades, marine corps members and foot soldiers have all been undertaken in an effort to address every possible threat to holding a successful conference. At least 12,000 police and 7,000 Indonesian military personnel will be on duty during the conference to be centered at Nusa Dua December 3-14, 2007.
Hundreds of special police and military vehicles have been deployed to Bali covering an entire range from escort motorcycles, tanks, bomb disposal units and special operational vehicles. Specially trained K-P corps dogs will also be on assignment at all the Island's gateways and main meeting venues for the conference.
By Land, Sea and Air
Police artillery-equipped patrol boats including the
KP Baladewa, KP Bisma
BP Kresna
will be cruising the waters around the Island throughout the conference. At least five helicopters will be conducting active patrols near the meeting venues, prepared and practiced to perform VIP and victim evacuations, if a developing situation dictates.
On the ground, the Bali Police will have no less than 900 motorcycles and 135 four-wheeled vehicles on constant patrol. Special crowd control barrier units are on stand by. VIP movements will be facilitated through the deployment of at least 30 escort units.
17 canine unites employing dogs trained in crowd control, explosives detection and perimeter protection will be on duty with their handlers.
Conference Central - Nusa Dua
Sophisticated screening devices and inspection procedures are now in operation at the entrance to the
Bali Tourism Development Corporation (BTDC) Complex
at Nusa Dua. Normally staffed by
BTDC Security Personnel,
the entrance gates to Nusa Dua will have an armed police and military contingent assisting in checking every vehicle, motorcycle and backpack entering the conference complex.
Special screening devices have also been installed at Bali's
Ngurah Rai International Airport
including X-rays units capable of reviewing the contents of an entire shipping containers. Protestors seeking to disrupt traffic or the proceedings of the conference will face the daunting prospect of an entire fleet of rapid-deployment barbed-wire trailers and thousands of
Mobile Brigade
soldiers equipped and trained to deal with unruly crowds.
Within the
BTDC Complex
an entire city of tents have been built to house NGO and supporting players at the Conference.

Tanjung Benoa Village Leaders Protest the Building of a New Apartment Complex Claiming Construction is Too Close to a Local Temple.
Bali Post
reports that citizens living on Tanjung Benoa in South Bali are protesting the building of
The Segara
apartment complex which, according to some locals, stands too close the
Pura Segara
temple. Six community leaders from Tanjung Benoa recently paid a visit on the Vice-Chairman of the Regional Parliament in Bali, I Ketut Tama Tenaya, the Chairman of 'Commission B' I Wayan Suyasa and parliamentarian I Nyoman Penayasa.
Following that meeting, Tama Tenaya told the press that the six local residents registered their objections to the building of the apartment just to the south of the temple, claiming that the sanctity and purity of the religious site would be diminished if the project is allowed to proceed. The 3-storey apartment building, when completed, will form the backdrop for local villagers when praying at
Pura Segara
. The apartment is also located just to the west of a
Pura Paibon
, or ancestral temple for the local community.
Despite strong protests from the some members of the local community the project has continued to be built.
The Chief Parliamentarian promised that all interested parties would soon be summoned to discuss the project, probably shortly after legislative budgetary meetings scheduled for December 2007.
Meanwhile, the Spokesman for the Badung Regional Government, Putu Eka Merthawan, has responded to the protests insisting that no laws have been broken by Badung administrators or the developers of
The Segara.
The permits issued by the regional government, according to Merthawan, are is strict accordance with established procedures. Moreover, the original request for the project submitted on June 30, 2007 in the name of Ni Wayan Satriani included the required "no objection" statements signed by people living adjacent to the proposed apartment complex. Similar letters signed by community environment officials, the
or Chief of Tanjung Benoa and the
or Sub-district Chief for South Kuta also reportedly formed a part of the initial building permit submission. Merthawan told the press that the project also held a written recommendation from
Desa Pekrama Tanjung Benoa
signed by the village
, I Nyoman Wana Putra.
Merthawan also underlined that zoning permits for the project conformed to local designated use permits as
tourism accommodation
meeting requirement that the final building must have a building/land ration of 60/40, that parking area must comprise 20% of the total land use and the maximum height of the final building heights must not exceed 15 meters.

State Power Board Asks the Balinese to Refrain from Flying Kites During the U.N. Conference on Climate Change.
Tempo Interaktif
reports that the
State Power Board (PLN)
have asked the people of Bali
to engage in their favorite pastime of kite flying during the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
set to take place in Nusa Dua from December 3-14, 2007.
PLN officials told the press that they have forwarded their request to village chiefs across the island because they are worried that kites may interfere with the electrical distribution system.
The extremely large kites flown by many village associations are often held aloft by wires that when they accidentally come in contact with high voltage lines can act as conductors causing short circuits.
The General Manager of
PLN Bali
, Budiman Bachrulhayat said that if the delegates attending the major conference in Bali suffer even "a moment's power outage, it could embarrass the entire nation." A meeting among PLN workers held in the week leading up to conference saw all the managers of
in Bali sign a declaration proclaiming their commitment to keep the lights on during the UN Climate Change Conference.

There's an obvious disparity between how kids are exposed to soccer in the United States and in Brazil. A previous conversation with former MLS player Davis Paul, he created this video for GoPro, shed some light on what the Americans might be doing wrong. This video shows what Brazil is doing right to ensure the future existence of homegrown Peles, Ronaldinhos and Neymars.
Pretty cool stuff.

By Rhonda Abrams, Speical for USA TODAY
Figuring out how to price your products or services is certainly one of the most perplexing questions for first-time small business owners or those who are new to an industry.
Here's an old joke: A store owner purchases pencils for ten cents apiece and then sells them for a nickel. Noticing this bizarre behavior, his partner asks, "How do you expect us to stay in business that way?" The man replies, "Volume!"
Surprisingly, many novice entrepreneurs choose a relatively similar business strategy. They imagine all that's necessary for success is to price their products or services less than the competition. Low prices, they assume, will generate sufficient sales to more than make up for smaller profits.
Competing on price alone is risky. Some discount outlets do build thriving businesses on low prices, but this strategy almost always means narrow profit margins, which in turn means less cash floating around your company. With a small financial cushion, you're vulnerable with every slight increase in costs. The landlord raises your rent 5%? That may be your entire year's profit.
And you're at risk from competitors: if you become a serious threat and they have deeper cash reserves, they can just undercut your prices and wait until you're squeezed out of the market.
Moreover, customers attracted solely by price are fickle. If they shopped around a lot before choosing you, they're probably going to shop around continually. And as soon as someone has a lower price, you're history!
Of course, when you're just starting out in business, you may want to set your prices lower (even much lower) than the competition. This gives you a chance to build a customer base and get some experience. Especially if you're in a service industry, you're going to be learning a lot while working for your first customers, so it's only fair to charge them less.
In Week Two, you did some research on the prices competitors are charging and that should help you get an idea of the market as you establish your own prices.
Professional service fees
Setting fees is more of an art than a science when what you're selling is expertise. After all, if you're smarter than the lawyer down the street but he has more experience, should you charge less or more? What if you work faster? Why does one management consultant charge $50 an hour and another $250? Is the second really five times better than the first?
Clearly, setting professional fees is inexact. Nevertheless, there are generally accepted practices and ranges. The two primary ways of pricing services are on an "hourly" basis or on a "project" basis.
Hourly: Most professional services can be charged on an hourly fee. This rewards you appropriately when you are performing long, complicated tasks for a client. However, you may find yourself shortchanged when what you are selling is your existing knowledge or expertise, and it doesn't take long to convey that to your client.
Project: On a "project" or task basis, you establish a set or minimum fee for an entire project. Clients often like to pay on a project basis because they like knowing what they will be charged before they commit. Project fees reward you when your knowledge enables you to finish projects quickly but penalizes you if you've badly misjudged the amount of time a given project will take.
One way to establish fees is to determine typical fees charged by others for similar services. Contact an industry association, ideally located in your geographic area, to get a sense of typical fee structures and ranges.
In the final analysis, the appropriate fee is always the same: whatever the market will bear. Only time will help you sort that out.
Prices for goods and other services
If you are a retailer or a reseller of products or services produced by others, it's often relatively easy to figure out how much to charge. Most industries have generally-accepted mark-ups over the cost of goods (for example, 100% in department stores, 200% for jewelry).
Understanding normal practice in your industry is a good place to start when figuring how much you want to charge. Suppliers themselves will often let you know what the normal mark-up is on their goods (but be careful—there are some laws limiting suppliers from setting the final prices of their goods). Of course, you may want to price your goods more aggressively, especially in the earliest days of your business.
If you are the manufacturer or producer of goods or services sold by others, the reseller will set the final price to the end-user. They, in turn, are going to set their prices based, on large part, by what you charge them. If your costs to the reseller are too high, then they won't be able to make money and won't purchase from you. It's critical for you to know what your competitors are charging those same resellers.
Of course, you have to cover your costs and make a profit. And that's typically how manufacturers and others set prices. This is "bottom-up" planning: figure your costs for raw materials, labor, overhead, shipping, returns, etc., and then set a reasonable figure for profit.
Some brilliant businesspeople have built great companies by knowing how to maintain ultra-low prices or convince customers to pay premium prices. Most of us, however, need to stick to the normal range.

Development of old Spaghetti Warehouse set to begin
Construction is scheduled to get started next month on the redevelopment of the former Spaghetti Warehouse and Sensationz nightclub building at 141 Elm St.
The $7 million project, to be known as The Planing Mill, will consist of about 22 market-rate residential apartments and 10,000 square feet of office space in the 43,500-square-foot, three-story brick building.
The apartments include three two-level units with interior staircases, 12 regular two-bedroom units and the rest one-bedroom apartments.
The project is being done by TM Montante, the company that last week won the rights to develop the former Millard Fillmore Hospital at Gates Circle.
Environmental remediation of the site is already underway, and construction will continue through the winter, said firm President Tim Vaeth. He said most of the building will stay as it is, with the exception of window replacements. The first residential apartments should be ready by late spring, although the office space may be available sooner.
The project will benefit from historic tax credits because the building dates to 1878. It was owned by E.M. Hager and Sons Co., a lumber mill operator. The mill operated six 10-hour days each week, using about 100 railroad carloads of lumber per year, and was one of the prime construction contractors for the 1901 Pan American Exposition in Buffalo. It was added to the state Register of Historic Places in March.
More recently, it was targeted to be redeveloped into 32 upscale apartments by Kevin Townsell in 2006 and then again by Greenleaf & Co.'s Jim Swiezy and Paul J. Kolkmeyer, who had a contract to buy it and invest $6 million to $7 million to turn it into 38 to 40 loft apartments.
Vaeth said Montante will also seek "gold" LEED certification for the building as environmentally friendly. Montante, which also owns a solar installation business, plans to mount solar panels either on the roof or in the parking lot.

International Business Machines (IBM) as a software and services company offers top notch, reliable consulting and both hardware and software products. Unlike IBM competitor, Oracle Inc., it does not hide costs in software contracts, and unlike Microsoft Inc., dominatrix of desktop market share, IBM does not strong arm partners in order to increase marketshare. Microsoft, however, does maintain both a competitive and working relationship with IBM.
To IBM's credit (as of this publication date,) Big Blue sets the standards for exemplary business services, and is regarded to be "the best;" but fails to deliver the message. IBM has many reasons to celebrate success. IBM also does not dispel the myth that it is the industry's most expensive solution for business operations. As Madison Avenue's darling, Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide, locked in as IBM's ad-agency in the mid-1990s, someone should ask why, after a decade of servicing the technology giant, old myths [still] persist.
"I was so impressed with
IBM, it is truly a respectable company, like starting at the
Jeffrey Allen Miller
However, on employee issues such as "retaining key talent" or remaining a patriotic (made in the USA) corporation, IBM loses any right to brag. No big deal to shareholders, but should be of concern to current and future employees. Businesses of all types now outsource to Asian countries; however, they outsource without having first transitioned their loyal workforce in the States.
In the following four articles, you will read a insider's view of working at IBM. The author, Jeffrey Allen Miller, dedicated nine years of his career in a number of IBM roles -- webmaster, editor, executive communications manager, and e-commerce strategist -- before the company's layoffs in 2004. Miller was not laid off for lack of or poor performance, as his employee review records will show in pages ahead, in fact he was an exemplary employee and received the maximum raises allowed during each of his nine years at IBM.
When Miller joined IBM in July 1995, he says, "I was so impressed with IBM... it is truly a respectable company... like starting at the top." Nine years later, as part of an IBM Resource Action (layoff) on 1 March 2004 along with 47 other employees from his corporate division, he has no real regrets. He says, "I'm not one to look back... when I returned my laptop to 590 Madison Avenue (in New York City), I walked out of the building, hummed 'Thanks for the memories,' and proceeded to plan my next career move -- okay, what do I do now?"
The author compares working for IBM to a marriage ending in divorce. "You meet, fall in love, argue and make love, and the sex is really fabulous! And then you find out she is in love with someone else... someone who doesn't challenge her like I do... with someone who keeps his head in the sand. There is simply nothing you can do to attract her again," Miller said. While Miller doesn't believe his outspoken views against the (George W) Bush administration led his employer to include him in the layoff as opposed to help him retrain for a hot job inside IBM, he says, "It is an interesting theory to contemplate though, considering [George W] Bush donations from IBM's past and present CEOs." Ironically, Miller worked for IBM's training business for the past three years.
Executives, Teaming
In IBM's 2003 layoff, CEO Sam Palmisano told the press that IBM was shedding several thousand employees who no longer have the skill set IBM needs. It was a careless blunder that [then new] CEO Palmisano no longer makes upon announcing company layoffs, but such a comment is not a surprise. Considering Palmisano's fundrace.org (type in Palmisano, Sam) and Louis V. Gerstner's 2004 contributions of $2,000 each to George W Bush's re-election campaign, the three blend as kindred spirits among talking heads. Former IBM CEO Gerstner now lists his occupation as "chairman of The Carlyle Group." (The senior Bush and Saudi Royal Family oil consulting business.) Sleeping with politicians is a nasty habit to take up, as former ENRON employees would confirm. However, balancing a company upon the idea of teamwork while following the a political motto of, "You are either with us, or you are against us" will ultimately find no winners. Miller describes the lost art of teaming and some of his favorite IBM executives in part two.
IBM Outsourcing
With an IBM corporate directive to "retain talent," one top executive blasted the Wall Street Journal after the newspaper published a story (March 2004) showing that new hire jobs at IBM were planned mostly for India and not the USA. IBM's Randy (Randall) MacDonald wrote an editorial saying that IBM has extensive retraining programs to help retain IBMers. So, how would an exemplary employee -- who works for IBM's training business -- fall through the cracks?
IBM's e-Business Strategy
While IBM claims to be the e-business leader, the IBM web user experience (ibm.com) has created tremendous internal animosity across the company in recent years. Some fight for the ability to lead the website design, some walk away frustrated from lack of speed to innovate, some tout design awards as key to their personal success... but the biggest problem facing IBM's website remains a simple one: The user experience fails to impress the most important people -- IBM customers.

"Please don't print my name, but I'm furious with IBM. My husband works for them in Poughkeepsie and he was let go after 19 years. Now with their outsourcing trend, this one company threatens the livelihood of the entire Hudson Valley. I fear the same thing will happen to Poughkeepsie that happened to Kingston [NY] -- IBM killed Kingston. How can one corporate giant be allowed to ruin so many lives? Were are the politicians when you need them? Where is Hillary Clinton on this issue? Why isn't anyone protecting our friend's and family's jobs?"
Randy Oneill

"I really hate IBM for how they treat employees, and my heart goes out to people like yourself who have dedicated themselves to a company that doesn't appreciate the effort. I'm glad I no longer work for them."

"Thank you for publishing this insight into IBM. Executives and processes at IBM work to quiet employees from speaking out. This company was a fun place to work back in the 1980s, but those days are gone. They either scare you with annual PBC rating restrictions, or blackmail you into 'not suing' them with an exit package. This is how corporate America works now. I don't like it, but I'm still employed with IBM, and I'm hanging on for five more years until I can retire. You are lucky, you are still young enough and will be fine in the end."

Tanzania - Entry 3 Zanzibar
PS- I just figured out the cooks name was John and I wanted to let you know as I'm sure all of you were being kept up at night trying to figure it out...
We are now on the amazing island of Zanzibar. We spent two days in Stonestown which is a really cool Muslim influenced city with narrow alleyways (like the Barrio de Santa Cruz in Sevilla), white washed buildings and ornate doors (apparently the cooler your doors/door-knobs- the more money you have- the more you are respected here). In Stonestown we went to this resturant called "Two Tables" where you show up at this man's house, ring his doorbell, tell him when you are interested in eating and he cooks you an amazing meal in his kitchen- the food was incredible and it was a really unique dining experience!
After two days in Stonestown we drove to the East Coast and are now somewhere on the beach at a resort with only 20 other people (all Europeans, some of whom are wearing speedos)- the water here is beautiful, the sand is like powdered sugar and each bungalow has their own private section of the beach- it is amazing!
So one thing I forgot to mention about the Tanzanian government is that they have recently implemented a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to poachers *it reminds me of some sort of policy that President Bush would implement* (the only thing that keeps the tourists coming to Tanzania is the animals) so now if you are caught hunting animals- they don't bother taking you to jail- they just shoot you on the spot (the government literally has hired people to roam around the national parks looking for poachers who they can kill- cool huh?)
But if you are into hunting don't even worry- you can pay to hunt certain parks here if you get a permit- and these hunters are really smart people- our cook John/George told us that he has been on a few hunting safaris with some really fat Europeans who feel like the highlight of their life would be to come to Africa and shoot a leopard. Apparently on one of these hunts there was a German man who found a leopard he wanted to kill so he shot the leopard- not knowing that the leopard had a buddy in the tree above him- so as soon as he stood up through the hole in the roof to shoot the leopard- the leopard's friend came down and jumped on him and ripped off his face. I bet he feels like a real winner now...
Also- I left out a few things in my last email- like the fact that there is a wide range of safaris you can go on- where you can spend anywhere from $10 to $10,000 a day- at the lower end of the spectrum is the same group of tourists who are likely to get maimed by the lions (like this smart German guy who decided to take a walk 2 kilometers from his campground at night where he encountered a hungry lion) and at the high end of the spectrum are these people that come on safari with their "SAFARI GEAR"- the whole nine yards- we are talking camoflauged clothes, vests, their safari hat, the local Massai jewerly (the Massai are another huge tribe- they are the only ones that are allowed to live in the national parks with the animals- I think they're a pretty sweet group of people because their breakfast of choice is to literally make a cut in a cow with their knife and then suck their blood for breakfast... delicious!
The cool thing about taking your bar trip in East Africa is that I seriously forgot that I ever took the bar- instead of sipping a cappucino in Italy contemplating how I did on that torts question I am driving down the street thinking about why the Massai make cuts in their animals to drink their blood for breakfast- wow this is a different world!
Okay back to the safari crowd- so they come on a safari with all their neatly pressed safari gear when you know damn well that these people are not going to be camping with the hyenas like we did (not that we are hard-core or that we would ever do it again- but still...) and they just look really how can I put it, "real." I guess it makes them feel better and either way they don't look as tacky as the Chinese tourists who come to the safari with their specially made safari dust masks....
Oh and speaking of the Chinese tourists- my friend Nora was on a safari here not too long ago in Ngorongoro/ the coolest park with the largest concentration of animals- when she saw a few Chinese tourists who had gotten out of the car and were walking around like they were in a zoo. When Nora tried to yell at them to get back into their car they just waived at her thinking she was trying to make friends *yeah like any normal American would want to make friends with someone who comes on a safari with a hot pink dust mask across their face*- but anyways, a few minutes later she saw those same smart tourists running across the grasslands....
Back to the beach!

At the annual turtle races, Poindexter, the record holder, is trying to retain his title. As the race begins, Poindexter starts off racing North with a speed of 0.025 m/s. He retains this speed for 0.5 meters at which time he speeds up to 0.10 m/s. He continues at this rate for 0.75 meters. Tiring, he slows to 0.07 m/s and continues for another half of a meter. Applying all his concentration and effort for the last bit of the race he increases his speed to a swift 0.085 m/s. An exhausted Wood Turtle, Poindexter completes his two meter race beating his closest competitor by a nose.
A.In what amount of time did Poindexter run the race? (Show all your work.)
Time= Distance/Speed,
It was a 2 meter race= 0.5/.025=20, .75/.125=6, .5/.055=9.1, .25/0.085=2.9. 20+6+9.1+2.9=38seconds.
B.What was his average speed? (Show all your work.)
Average speed= total distance/ total time.
2/38=0.053m/s^2 Average Speed.
C.What was his displacement?
I have no idea?! Please help!

The Islands Of Tahiti Hosts CBS' THE AMAZING RACE
The Amazing Race crew stayed at Hilton Bora Bora Nui Resort & Spa, a luxurious all-suite resort with 120 thatched-roofed bungalows situated on the hillside, along the beach and over the water.
Not only is The Nui on a rare motu with a hill, but the resort's location is also a memorable site in Tahitian lore. The mischievous Polynesian god Hiro is said to have thrown his spear from the top of the motu's black lava hill, giving Mt. Otemanu its jagged profile. And, The Nui's black lava hill rises above a sacred cove where ancient islanders gathered for stone fishing festivals. This island lore is celebrated in the original artwork displayed throughout the resort.
Tahiti is located halfway between California and Australia, on the same side of the International Date Line as North America and in the same time zone as Hawaii. To learn more about the Islands of Tahiti, visit www.tahititourisme.com
Catch another glorious glimpse of Bora Bora in the second episode of CBS' The Amazing Race on Sunday, February 24, 2013.

This Scratchpad wiki was created by the regulars of #firstname.lastname@example.com, as a place to maintain FAQ information on various LDAP-related topics. In keeping with the philosophies of FreeNode and Wikia (and the common topics on #ldap), the focus is on Free Software implementations of servers and clients.
General LDAP topics
See Wikipedia's LDAP page for some general information on LDAP if you haven't yet.
LDAP Documentation
- [1] Book mostly covering OpenLDAP on Linux, but includes 3 chapters and a few appendices on generic LDAP.
- [2] OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide
- [3] LDAP Implementation HOWTO - Beware it is very old, many statements are out-of-date, but basic docs on pam_ldap and nss_ldap seem ok on first inspection.

Uses Kerberos for primary means of authentication, retrieves user and group information via LDAP subsystem. "Group Policy" configuration management is itself outside LDAP but the Group Policy objects a machien should download are located via LDAP and internally it makes reference to information found in LDAP.
- Novell eDirectory
- NEC Enterprise Directory Server (Japanese website)
