Irresistible Click-Me Tools for Marketing
Dorian Greer
Never mind the irritating, but effective, pop-up window. There is another type of interruption advertising that is much more subtle, much less annoying, and just as effective.
It is the negative interruption.
A negative interruption is when an expected pattern is removed or "restrained" from an expectation causing a noticeable non conformity.
Ill give an example, and then Ill show you. And Ill bet you a buck youll want to use it for yourself. Here goes:
Youre viewing a web page and you scroll down a bit to see more. But a small image off to the side, instead of moving "with" the page, "stays" in the same relative position.
It doesnt move, while everything else moves. It doesnt conform, thereby causing a persistent interruption, forcing you to notice its quaint existence until you act on it. Its like a child that just stands there and stares at you until you respond.
I am in the act of witnessing a marvelous phenomenon, as people not only just "have to have one" but Im watching the results grow daily. Let me give you two examples, so you wont think Im pulling your coat tails.
By the way, neither of these is mine. Im just a monkey in the middle watching this unfold like the crazy magic I told you so. In one of these youll be able to see with your own eyes how effective it is.
First is the "Instant Buzz" plug-in/ad-delivery system. Its free, and highly contagious. Youll likely get this from a small floating window that cant be ignored, though you can dismiss it with a click.
It works so well, that in the last two days Ive seen a mushroom of new subscribers to it. Its a truly beautiful and contagious and viral method of getting your ad to potentially thousands yourself. Take a look:
Now, what if you could use this very viral, persistent negative interruption method with YOUR OWN message, going to your own ad And what if you didnt have to share this technology with others And what if you didnt have to sign-on!
You can. And heres the second tool.
It is a persistent child with many faces and many locations, and you can edit with any message you want. And you can include with it any picture you want.
And you can include a "hide me" button, or you can make it appear only on the first page view, or every X duration of time, etc. And you can open it to a pop up or a new page, or in the same window, if you want to.
In short, you control every aspect about its presentation to your prospect AND you can make it viral because its code is in the HTML of the page. Or, you can refer the code like a site-wide CSS sheet that would be off-page, if you wanted to do that instead. Its versatility is phenomenal.
Heres a live example: http://www.seducingthebuyer/Persistent/example-1.htm
As you can see, the skys the limit with your imagination and creativity. But most importantly, you can have the power of the pop-up without the annoying side effects. Now, isnt that a gift worth respecting your customers with

Keen knitters were in for a real treat over the weekend as Norway's public broadcaster NRK aired an attempt to smash the current 'sheep to sweater' record.
Before midnight, the show explored the exciting world of knitting, after which - when the clock struck 12 - the highly-anticipated world record attempt began.
In total, the show came to a grand total of 13 hours of live knitting television.
The build-up to the main event included guests sharing their tips and tricks for knitting, while one of the broadcaster's foreign correspondents also told tales of taking his knitting away on trips with him and teaching locals the craft.
"We'll dive deep into the world of knitting, then from midnight, we'll turn down the pace, if that's even possible," commented Rune Moeklebust, a producer for the Norwegian broadcaster.
Trending the hashtag #nrkstrikk, Slow TV's effort caused quite a storm on Twitter, with many people tuning in and logging on to express their delight at the venture.
It is not the first time that the broadcaster has caught TV viewers' attention with quirky, potentially very slow-moving television. In 2009, it broadcast the view from the roof of a seven-hour train ride from Bergen to Oslo, while in 2011, it put out 134 non-stop hours of a cruise ship going up the country's coast to the Arctic - both of which were watched by millions of people. The latter in fact won the world record for the longest continuous television programme.
Before the attempt, the record for the so-called back to back challenge - that is, shearing the wool fresh from a sheep's back and turning it into a sweater for a person to wear there and then - was four hours and 51 minutes.
Unfortunately, the team was unable to beat the record, with the final back-to-back time coming in at eight hours and 35 seconds. However, spirits were not dampened, with Mr Mocklebust tweeting: "Official time: 8h35min23sec. Almost 4 hours behind the world record. But what a great effort! #nrkstrikk #knittv."

And then there were three?
In keeping with the tradition to try and make humorous connections to all things Genesis, the title of the above is a quote back to an old album from the progressive rock powerhouse called Genesis (aka Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks)
The question is this – has Harris/Leitch/DPS decided to quit the NLE market?
And then there were three now takes on more meaning in that the three you've come to expect are Adobe, Apple and Avid. Sure, there are a lot of other players out there and some from large companies like Sony and Harris, but in terms of market share they are more peripheral.
I'd heard a rumor some time ago but hesitated to post it because of just that – it's a rumor. I looked at Leitch's website but no press releases were there. In fact, no real press release on the NLE side since 2005 which in and of itself is quite telling.
Today, in revisiting this tidbit, I looked at Creative Cow and checked up on the DPSVelocity forum and found the following:
It seems pretty straightforward and some of the following user comments are upset and I understand why. Harris is a pretty big company but the NLE space is complicated and changing constantly, so you must be committed to the space to keep up. I think that Leitch was there but Harris' acquisition might have changed that.
Coming back to Adobe, I take great comfort in that our CEO, Bruce Chizen consistently talks about the importance of video tools for Adobe and for the marketplace in general. Media creation is exploding and to keep pace with that the need for video tools and video editors is also increasing. So, while nothing is forever, I'm confident that Adobe will continue to operate, innovate and lead in the market with our products and provide our customers a comfort factor that we'll be there for them today and in the future.
On a related note, downloads of Premiere Pro, After Effects CS3 and Soundbooth continue to increase and the feedback overall has been pretty positive. If you haven't checked out the website to get them, you can go here here

While i was driving, a penny fell into my cigarette lighter outlet and it sparked then my stock radio head unit stopped working.

595547 klms and still going. Amazing car. Balanced, comfortable and well thought out. One of the best vehicles I have ever owned. Just change the fluids every 5K
I bought my Avalon used. It had 76,000 miles on it. It now has 257,000 miles. I love this car. Have never done anything but replace struts. I have a Lexus also and would take my Avalon over it again and again. The inside and the body is still beautiful. Wish I could buy a new one just like it!!!!
Original owner of '96 Avalon.. It now has 240,000 miles on it and it still runs smooth.. I have replaced the struts at 175k miles and the power steering rack at 200k (due to road debris damage).. This is undoubtably the best car I have owned. have to replace the front cv axle now.. (very tough mileage, it has been used as a work car for 10 years).. My wife has a 2007 Lexus es350.... my Avalon is quieter and runs smoother....
I love this car....

"There is wisdom in smallness."
– E. F. Schumacher
As Andrew mentioned in his post last week, both Candace and I are winners of Vodafone's World of Difference (WOD) programme this year. I think Vodafone deserves a lot of credit for coming up with such an innovative CSR initiative.
At our induction day in late February, I had the pleasure of meeting lots of other winners from diverse walks of life. Like me, many of them are being enabled to transform the fortunes of small charities by the WOD programme.
A very small world
By very happy coincidence, one of the winners I met was Tom Stedall. Tom's charity, The Converging World, works with the same Indian partner as Jeevika Trust in Tamil Nadu, Social Change and Development (SCAD).
Jeevika runs Project Pisces with SCAD, which has brought three traditional water reservoirs, known as ooranies, back into use providing water for farming and domestic use. Here's an idea of how the transformation takes place:
Additionally, in 2010 the ooranies were used for fish farming and the harvest was consumed and sold by 2,500 villagers in the Tuticorin area.
The Converging World supports SCAD community development projects on GP consultations, education and women's self help groups and is also developing renewable energy and woodstove initiatives.
Connecting Schumacher with World of Difference
Both The Converging World and Jeevika Trust draw inspiration from the radical economist, E.F. Schumacher, author of the book Small is Beautiful: Economics as if people mattered.
Schumacher rejected large scale industrial development based on the exploitation of finite, non-renewable resources.
He instead believed in tackling poverty by revitalising rural communities, promoting inclusive, sustainable development and creating and sharing appropriate knowledge and technology centred around human well-being.
At Vodafone's inspirational induction day, listening to the fascinating stories of so many activists that are improving the world through grassroots, community-based organisations, it occurred to me that Schumacher's belief that "Small is beautiful" is also a very apt description for the WOD programme itself.

During the Legislature's first workweek this year, 73 of the 75 Utah House members accepted lodging allowances of $96 a night or $480 total for each. But few actually stayed in hotels. Most commuted from home and simply pocketed the allowance.
That is made clear by what happened after a rule change was enacted that first week requiring that legislators from then on could be reimbursed for lodging only if they presented receipts. Just 18 of the 75 members bothered to do that during the rest of the 45-day session, according to records made available through an open-records request.
The results seem to validate an independent commission's recommendation to change salary and reimbursement rules this year. As Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, said in debate, it "corrects the egregious problem of state legislators basically receiving money for hotels that they don't stay in and for meals they don't buy."
Under the change, Utah's part-time lawmakers now receive an annual base salary of $16,380. Previously, they were given a compensation package for essentially that same amount, which was roughly divided into thirds for daily pay and allowances for meals and lodging.
While members from distant areas actually had to spend allowances on hotels and meals, members from the nearby Wasatch Front could pocket it. "So members from urban areas were essentially paid twice as much as rural legislators," said Weiler, who personally had refused such allowances.
The new system still allows lawmakers to be reimbursed for exact amounts shown on receipts up to $96 a night for hotels and $38 a day for meals on top of the base salary.
Free meals • Surprisingly few lawmakers sought reimbursements after the new change, according to a review by The Salt Lake Tribune.
For example, just one of the 29 state senators Deidre Henderson, R-Spanish Fork sought any reimbursement for meals under the new system. She asked for just $38, the cost of two meals at the Little America Hotel, where she stayed, and a breakfast sandwich and drink at the Capitol cafeteria.
Why didn't more members seek reimbursement for food?
"I think there are so many free meals," Weiler said, "that I think there's rarely a need to go out and purchase food."
As The Tribune earlier reported, social calendars show that state senators were offered free lunches on 32 of the session's 33 actual workdays by special-interest groups and lobbyists. Such groups offered 103 events in the House and Senate from meals to snacks, receptions, movies and other entertainment.
"I gained 15 pounds in my first session last year," thanks to all the free food, Weiler said.
Most House members 41 of 75 accepted some food reimbursement this year, but mostly because of a key difference in House and Senate procedure. The Senate until a change in mid-session allowed special-interest groups and lobbyists to buy lunches for its party caucus meetings, but House members always paid for their own.
Almost all of reimbursements sought by House members were just for those caucus lunches in part because the process for reimbursement of it was easy, with members needing just to sign a sheet passed around by staff without collecting or turning in receipts.
Big change • How much of a difference did the rule change this year make in money paid for meals and lodging?
In the first week of the session under the old rule, the House paid $57,305 in meal and lodging allowances. During the remaining six weeks, it paid just $47,306 or $7,884 per week.
In both chambers combined during all of 2012, meal and lodging allowances totaled $234,000, according to data on Utahsright.com. After the rule change, they were $66,400 during the final six weeks of the general session.
However, legislators figure the new system will cost taxpayers a bit more overall than the old one because of the higher base salary and budgeted an extra $150,000 to cover it.
Some members said it is possible that few members are seeking reimbursement for outside meals and lodging because they know that receipts are now public and the news media might report any dining in expensive restaurants or lodging in hotels by members who live fairly close.
But Rep. Kraig Powell, R-Heber City, who has been an outspoken critic of lawmakers accepting meals and freebies from special interests, said it is more likely that the system was simply new and busy lawmakers didn't have time to figure out its details during their session.
Powell noted, for example, that he stayed in hotels a few nights toward the end of the session to save the long round-trip home to Heber City, but didn't file for reimbursement because "I didn't have time to figure out the new process."
Lodging • Records show that only one lawmaker living within 50 miles of the Capitol chose to spend every night of the Legislature in a hotel Rep. Dana Layton, R-Orem. She stayed at the Little America Hotel, the choice of most lawmakers far from home, which gives lawmakers a rate of $96 a night. That happens to be the exact amount for which they may be reimbursed.
"Some others are more motivated to drive because they have young children at home," Layton said. "I just decided to devote 100 percent of my time to the session. I went to every single social event, and I spent the extra time studying bills in my room instead of spending two hours a day on the road."
The first-term lawmaker said the difference between what the state spent on her lodging and what it would have paid her in mileage was about $20 a day (she said she lives 48.5 miles from the Capitol).
Overall, the Legislature paid $79,000 in mileage reimbursements during its 45-day general session, an average of $760 for each lawmaker.
Transparent • Most lawmakers praise the new system as more fair and transparent especially those who declined the old allowances to avoid criticism.
Rep. Rebecca Chavez-Houck, D-Salt Lake City, was one of two House members who refused both the old lodging and meal allowances. She notes she is the member "who probably lives the closest to the Capitol" and that taking lodging reimbursement would be silly and look bad. "I'm pleased we are finally using normally accepted business practices" for reimbursements, she said.
The other House member who refused the allowances was Minority Leader Jennifer Seelig, D-Salt Lake City. She says she stopped accepting them after she was asked at a community meeting if lawmakers were paid for lodging and meals they don't actually use. "This change has been in the works for a while," she said. "We had a new crop of legislators this year who finally thought the change made sense."
Powell adds the change came probably because several members "had to take lumps in the press or especially from their campaign opponents" for taking money for lodging and meals not actually used.
Weiler, who also had refused the allowances, said, "I understood it was part of compensation package, but it didn't seem right to me, as a servant of the people, to be taking money for a hotel where I wasn't staying. I live nine miles from the Capitol. I'm glad the change was made."
Legislature's salary changes
Old rule • Lawmakers received about $16,380 a year, divided roughly in thirds for salary, lodging and meals. They did not need to spend allowances on actual hotels or food and could pocket it.
New rule • They receive a base salary of $16,380. They may be reimbursed beyond that for actual lodging and meal costs if they turn in receipts.
Difference • Under the old rule during the first week of this year's session, 73 of 75 House members accepted lodging allowance of $96 a night. After change, only 18 members sought lodging reimbursements.

An Introduction to Dolphin's Pearl
Dolphin's Pearl free play is one of the original Novoline slots. The online slot debuted officially in 2010 at StarGames Casino.
The aim of Dolphin's Pearl online slot is to complete a combination of between 2 to 5 identical symbols appearing across the reels from left to right. With most symbols, you need at least 3 to create a winning combination, while with others, like the lobster or oyster and pear symbols, only two identical symbols are enough to trigger a win. Keep in mind, though that the dolphin is a Wild symbol and can be substituted for all other symbols to create winning combinations.
As a rule, the symbols must appear from left to right, on adjacent reels. However, there is one exception to this rule, the Scatter symbol. The Scatter symbol does not have to appear on adjacent reels to trigger a win and can appear anywhere on the screen. In addition, 3 or more of these symbols scattered anywhere on the reels win the player a special bonus or free spins! The pearl and oyster symbol functions as the Scatter symbol.?Importantly, the only symbol which the Wild symbol can't substitute for is the Scatter symbol.
You can also try out the newer version, Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe slot which is available at StarGames Casino. Dolphin's Pearl Deluxe has 10 paylines on 5 reels and if you hit three or more scatter symbols (sea shells containing a pearl), you will trigger fifteen free spins with a x 3 multiplier. There's few changes to the overall gameplay, however the look and graphics are significantly improved.
Dolphin's Pearl Strategy: A Matter of Risk
How can you improve your chances of winning? Below we have given you a few tips and tricks for the Dolphin's Pearl game, but they can also be used to other slot machines. The most important rule is very simple: each player should set a limit before the game, to know how much to risk to lose. We recommend that you only take as much money into the gambling hall that you can afford to lose.
Each person should also be aware of the fact that Dolphin's Pearl, like all other slot machines is programmed so that the chance of profit and loss decisions. Nevertheless, we would like to introduce three different strategies that you can increase your chances of winning!
Strategy 1: Risk Less - More Games
This strategy is based on the assumption that one's chances of winning is increasing over time. More spins means increased likelihood of profit. Consequently, you have a better chance of winning a jackpot if you spin a lot. Your goal should therefore be to start playing as many games as possible. In the beginning, play with the smallest coin-sized and increase until you've won!
Strategy 2: Maximum Risk
By playing on multiple paylines increase the chances of winning, or if it is a progressive game it's on the jackpot. If you play higher stakes you can win a lot - even though you might not hit the jackpot.
Strategy 3: Games With High Jackpot
On progressive jackpots you should play when the jackpot is high - the reason for this is relatively simple. The probability of winning remains the same from game to game, but the jackpot grows with every spin. For you, this means more money for the same risk!
Which strategy is right for you? As already mentioned, you better make it clear to risk what amount of money you're ready to risk before hitting the slots. If you are in a position to risk a larger amount, you should rely on the BetMax or the progressive method. BetMax helps you achieve by combining relatively quick profits, then you can increase your chances of winning percentage on this path. This requires a little more patience, but in the case of a win no less lucrative.
However, if you want to take such a high risk, you should see the 'risk it less, play longer' method.
Novoline Gaming
Novoline is a name synonymous with casino gaming, you may have already played Book of Ra, American Poker II or Columbus? If you have then you've played a Novoline game. Why not have a read through bettingexpert's Novoline page, where you can find out more about promotions in the series and current games in the comprehensive directory.

The IOC has formally stripped American cyclist Tyler Hamilton of his gold from the 2004 Athens Olympics and reassigned the medals after his admission of doping. IOC spokesman Mark Adams says the executive board notified Hamilton on Friday that he has been disqualified from his victory in the road race time trial. His gold medal will now go to Russian rider Viatcheslav Ekimov. American Bobby Julich will be moved up from bronze to silver, and Michael Rogers of Australia from fourth to bronze. After years of denials, Hamilton told CBS's ''60 Minutes'' last year that he had repeatedly used performance-enhancing drugs. The IOC asked for documents from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency before reallocating the medals. The IOC's move to change the medals was first reported Thursday by The Associated Press.

Video: Teens Exposed to Nirvana, React Surprisingly Well
Everyone loves reaction videos. Whether you're putting a camera in someone's face while they watch Game of Thrones' shocking "Red Wedding" scene or having a daughter tell her father she's pregnant, something about the sudden, natural human reaction to something new and unexpected fascinates us. And, much like society today, we have to document it in some digital form, which is where this new clip from The Fine Bros comes in.
This year marks several anniversaries in the Nirvana world. Some are great, some are terribly sad. To experiment with the reach of the short-lived grunge kings, kids ranging from the ages of 14-19 were shown three videos--"Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Heart-Shaped Box" and "About a Girl"--while their reactions were filmed. The results, as you can see below, are surprisingly amazing. As 19-year-old Jade put it, "Who doesn't love Nirvana?"
Everything goes well through the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video, but opinions shift as they move to the bizarre "Heart-Shaped Box," possibly the band's most divisive and terrifying video. The big reveal comes at the end when they shed light on Kurt Cobain's sudden end, much to the shock of some of the kids. Watch their reactions below and put on Nevermind once you're done celebrating Fleetwood Mac Day.

One of the much awaited, hyped movie of the year 2011, Shah Rukh Khan's "Ra.One" which promises to change the experience of moviegoers. For the first time, the Dolby Surround Sound 7.1 is reportedly being installed in several shopping malls and multiplexes in the run up to the science fiction of liberation. And this is not just a vain desire to be a follow-up on all the other movies technically sophisticated. SRK goes all out to ensure "Ra.One" sets a new benchmark for technical refinement in Hindi cinema.
In June, the technical team of the film, produced by Shah Rukh will be in Los Angeles to get special sound effects to make the film. These effects, never used in any cinema in India, can only be experienced fully only when the new Dolby equipment is in operation. Academy award winning sound engineer Resul Pookutty, which will also go to Los Angeles, said: "You see," 'Ra. One' is not just a movie experience. Will be the first Indian film to be somewhere between a game and a movie. It requires a very unusual sound and visual quality which cine-goers will enjoy after the Dolby 7.1 surround system gets installed." "The Dolby 7.1 format goes a long way in creating a larger-than-life experience on 'Ra.One'. We're looking at changing the Indian audiences' movie-viewing experience this Diwali," said Resul. "And for this I want to give a large part of the credit to Ramesh Sippy, who has been hands-on in supporting us in the campaign to update and modernize and sound and projection in the theatre," he said.
Explaining the Dolby 7.1 system Resul said: "Dolby 7.1 is a new sound format which gives you two additional surround channels that ensure much wider sound compared to the present Dolby 5.1. "All the digital cinemas playing sound through their native systems and formats will now have to go through a Dolby processor which follows and standardizes the cinemas according to the ground rules of the SMPTE (the Society Of Motion Picture & Television Engineers) and ISO (International Organization For Standardization) which ensure a better movie experience for the audience."

Regional Reviews: Seattle
Teatro Zinzanni - Dinner and Dreams
For a very special Valentine's gift, whether it's on the holiday or not, you could hardly do better than to take your main squeeze to Teatro Zinzanni. A savvy mixture of fine food, a circus atmosphere and intermingled acts that range from opera to spinning plates, Teatro Zinzanni makes for the perfect special occasion evening, and really gives you a big bang for your bucks.
The setting is a handsomely restored European style circular tent, originally built in 1910. The current Seattle cast (which changes periodically, as does its sister company in San Francisco) includes two commanding entertainers who play the brothers who host the proceedings. El Vez is a swivel-hipped, flashy-dresser modeled on the King of Rock 'n' Roll, with a brassy and powerful voice. His onstage brother, Chef Caesar, is played with abandon and satin smooth comic timing by Frank Ferrante. Ferrante (acclaimed for his impersonations of Groucho Marx) wrings laughs out of ad-libs that would be groaners in lesser hands, and is a master of manipulating audience members, from a spry old Texas grandmother to a poker-faced Army sergeant.
Ukrainian artist Sergiy Krutikov is a dexterous comic juggler and accordionist, and has the running gag of continually upstaging "La Diva" soprano Juliana Rambaldi. Happily, Ms. Rambaldi is given a near closing aria spotlight to showoff her impressive pipes. The statuesque Manuela Horn does a killer dominatrix bit, delivers songs with the sultry rasp of a Lotte Lenya and can yodel like someone from the Grand Ole Opry. Sabine Reick is a delirious comic acrobat with a putty face reminiscent of Lucille Ball. The Steben Sisters, identical twins familiar from HBO's Carnivale series, are poetry in motion as they dangle above the audience in their act. This is one of many moments where the fear of an actor landing in your plate actually adds to the evenings fun.
The incredibly hard working trio known as Les Petits Freres (Gregory Marquet, Mickael Bajazet, and Domitil Ailot) can best be described as graceful and suave acrobatic clowns who also dance, and as Les Voila!, Soizick Hebert and Johnny Filion add comic spice to the dining as cut-up waiters. Finally, Rie Taki (Wakataki Kyo), a Japanese dance specialist, makes glowing cameo appearances as a sort of Asian cupid who makes sure that love is in the air throughout the evening.
Artistic directors Norman Langill, director Stuart Gordon, and writer Amanda Rogers, have woven together a masterful vaudeville-flavored show, with expert musical support from Musical director Norman Durkee and his jaunty band.
The show goes on throughout your five-course dining experience, which starts with antipasto, followed by soup, salad, main course and dessert. The salad and main course come in vegetarian versions as well, and my companion assured me they were as delectable as my carnivorous versions. As appetizing as the food is, however, you may find yourself so caught up in the antics of the entertainers that a smiling, wacky server may be ready to whisk away your plate before you've cleaned it. Whether or not you are old enough to remember vaudeville or the Ed Sullivan show, Teatro Zinzanni, should leave you rolling in the aisles, and with a belly full of good food to boot.
Teatro Zinzanni, produced bye One Reel, has an open ended run in it's downtown Seattle location at 6th Avenue between Battery and Bell. Performances are at 6:30 Thursdays-Saturdays, 5:30 Sundays. Tickets are $89 Thursday, Friday and Sunday, and $109 Saturdays. For reservations and information call (206) 802-0015 or online at ticketweb.com.

|This article is about a/an mecha in Beetleborgs Metallix.
The Battleborgs are a duo of humanoid giant robots (Roboborg and Boron) which assist the Beetleborgs.
This isn't the only time a Saban tokusatsu used the name "Battleborgs" for mecha - the zords of the Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers were also called Battleborgs.

Canberrans have been urged to get outdoors and enjoy the national capital to celebrate its 101st birthday.
Canberra Day is held on the second Monday in March each year to commemorate the official founding of the city on March 12, 1913.
The epicentre of the day's activities will be Commonwealth Park and Stage 88, with children's shows, live music and food stalls on offer.
Those keen to start early can visit the Balloon Spectacular on Old Parliament House's lawns from 6am.
Chief Minister Katy Gallagher urged the community to turn out to enjoy the free entertainment.
She said the highlight of her day would be announcing the first winner of the Snap 100 childrens' photography competition and then cutting the 101st birthday cake.
''Canberra Day is a great opportunity for all of us to celebrate together and get out and enjoy a range of activities that highlight what it is to be Canberrans," Ms Gallagher said.
Canberra Day is the culmination of the Celebrate Canberra festival where Canberrans are invited to enjoy the vibrancy of their city. The weekend's highlights included the final night of Enlighten, Le Diner En Blanc, the Black Opal Stakes, and Symphony in the Park.
Events ACT general manager Neale Guthrie said feedback from the weekend indicated a near record-breaking year.
Mr Guthrie said Enlighten trended third on Twitter across Australia on its first night and the events websites have all had record hits every day.
Although Saturday night's crowd was down due to wet weather, Mr Guthrie said Friday night was the biggest turnout Enlighten had seen in its four years of operation.
He hoped the numbers would surpass last year's centenary effort of 115,000 people through the week.
''All the institutions say numbers for Enlighten are up on last year,'' he said.
''We had really good weather, 23 degrees celsius; dark, still nights, so people took advantage of that … we've had good numbers despite the weather, literally, putting a dampener on things on Saturday.''
Mr Guthrie said the comedy festival, sporting events, Le Diner En Blanc, Symphony in the Park, and balloons had also reported strong support.
''Stitch those things together, tell a common story, and you end up with a nice three weeks of March.''
The party continues through the week, with a 101st anniversary celebration at the Street Theatre, on Tuesday, and Skyfire on Saturday.
Canberra Day 2014
6am-10am: Canberra Balloon Spectacular at the Old Parliament House lawns.
2pm-7pm: Canberra Day in the Park at Stage 88, Commonwealth Park, featuring Scooby-Doo shows, face-painting, jumping castles, picnic, games and amusement rides, local bands, and 19 food vendors.
2.30pm: Chief Minister Katy Gallagher will announce the winners of the Snap 100 - A Kids' Eye View photography competition before cutting a birthday cake.
8pm-10pm: Enlighten festival architectural projections final night.

While it's common for junior faculty to be assigned senior colleagues as mentors, no such "buddy-system" exists for administrators. From entry-level administrators on up to the presidents' office, employees are most often on their own to develop their career trajectories--and moving up the ladder can be fraught with some real perils.
Consider the colleague who resents your being hired from the "outside" instead of promoting her from within. There is one-upsmanship, too, and don't forget there are colleagues who won't wish you well for apparently irrational reasons, from your talent with IT to your regional accent, and more.
So, what's to be done if you are relatively ambitious and are longing for an office instead of a cube? Consider finding a mentor. Your most obvious choice—your boss—may not be the best one, given the internecine rivalries mentioned above.
Have you been tasked with something new for you? A strategic plan for your division, an operation's manual for your department, or a yearly program report? Looking to the senior officers in the provost's office may be the best move you can make. This is the nerve center of the university where academic, operational, and budgetary planning take place.
Make an appointment with the head of Institutional Development and bring that strategic plan with you. And that operations manual or program report? Take that outline and those outcomes surveys along when you chat up the VP for Operations and the Executive Director for Programs. These senior officers are generally helpful people when available. Remember that summer is best, and never, ever, call on a Monday or a Friday-- you may just find a great mentor.

I arrived in Serbia by train from Hungary, travelling from Szeged to Subotica. It occurred to me when my passport was getting stamped that I can never arrive in Serbia for the first time again.
Being new in a country can only happen about 200 times in your life, give or take the number over a lifetime as unions are formed and regions break away to become new countries.
Serbia is a prime example of one country becoming many, many times over. In 1991 Serbia was part of Yugoslavia. Since then Yugoslavia gradually split up to become Croatia, Slovenia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia (which for a while was known as FYR Macedonia), leaving just Serbia and Montenegro in 2003.
In 2006 Montenegro voted to end its union with Serbia and become a separate country, thus adding another nation to the world tally.
In 2008 the region of Kosovo in Southern Serbia declared independence from Serbia, and they too proclaimed themselves a separate country. Here is where your country count gets tricky. Serbia has not recognized Kosovo as an independent country as it counts the region of Kosovo as a historical and integral part of Serbia. Half of the world has recognised Kosovo as an independent country and half of the world hasn't.
If you are on a quest to visit every country in the world and you ticked off Yugoslavia before 1991, you now have to come back and visit 7 countries, or 8 if you count Kosovo. I will expand on the every country quest in another post. For now though I am savouring that fresh "new country day" feeling.

England beat their northern hemisphere rivals Wales 22-16 earlier in the season, and Head Coach John Fletcher was just as delighted to get the win this time around.
"We played well in the first half," he said. "We played the territory game and we were pleased to go in ahead at the break. Wales are a good side, they were dangerous all match and played some good rugby.
"The second half was tough, we came out and scored two good tries, but as the game progressed Wales pushed on and scored three in quick succession. They built momentum, their kicks came off, we lost some of our defensive shape and we had to hang on towards the end.
"We made a lot of substitutions which sometimes changes the pace of the game but ultimately we are delighted to get the win. There's a lot to work on, but this is our first game together for a while.
"France are up next and we'll have to up our game for that one, they're a big, strong side but we have something to gauge ourselves on now and we're looking forward to the challenge."

It's hard to imagine a more dynamic, fast-changing sector than health in the UK. Innovations in practice, policy developments and new standards for treatment and care provide constant challenges and opportunities to professionals working on the front line – and none more so than nurses, who are in a unique position to make a difference.
The Open University offers exciting learning programmes at all levels in nursing – whether you're trying to get into the profession, or you're already qualified and looking to progress your career. Flexible study arrangements fit in with your work and home life, so you can carry on earning while you learn:
- Pathways for healthcare assistants/support workers (HCAs) and assistant practitioners (APs)
- A unique work-based route to qualifying as a nurse
- Opportunities for practising nurses including degree and masters programmes, management and leadership development and specialist skills updating
- Mentorship learning endorsed by the NMC. The first stage of the programme is a free short course Facilitating Learning in Practice. The next stage, open to registered, practising nurses, is a portfolio assessment developed explicitly to enable nurses to demonstrate evidence required to meet eligibility to enter locally-held registers for mentors. There is a fee for the portfolio assessment. Sign up at Mentorship portfolio assessment.
Our curriculum is developed and delivered by an expert multi-disciplinary team in partnership with service users and carers. You'll study alongside other students from a wide range of backgrounds, and hear from many more as you work through the rich multi-media learning materials. And at the heart of everything you learn will be the people who use health services, ensuring maximum impact on practice and patient care.

Winter Classic: Hottest ticket on ice
During his brief tenure as the Cleveland Browns' top executive, John Collins never saw his team win at Heinz Field.
Now the NHL's chief operating officer, Collins believes he is backing a winner, regardless of the score, when the Penguins play Washington in the Winter Classic on Jan. 1.
"It's a great town, and Heinz Field is a great venue," he said. "The two teams are playing well. The rivalry between the Capitals and Penguins is getting a lot of attention. You've got the two most recognizable stars in the game (in Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin). This is the matchup I think people have been waiting for in the Winter Classic."
Whether it's the matchup or the unique nature of the event, the game is generating a sizable buzz even though it still is three weeks away.
"It's a very hot ticket," said Craig Davis, vice president of sales and marketing for VisitPittsburgh, which promotes tourism here. The group's slogan for the Winter Classic is "3 rivers, 2 teams, 1 game to remember."
Added Davis: "Everyone I know is calling me and asking if I can find tickets."
He cannot, and he's not alone. Those who are even better connected are giving the same answer.
"I have a lot of relatives," Penguins CEO and president David Morehouse wryly noted. "The thing about the Winter Classic is that more people seem to be interested in coming to that game than even playoff games. I've gotten more calls from people who don't consider themselves avid hockey fans.
"This game transcends the normal hockey fan. It's a spectacle, a major event, and people want to be part of it. ... But it's tough when you're in the ticket-selling business and everyone's asking you for tickets."
It's a similar scene around Washington.
"(The response) has been absolutely tremendous," said Jim Van Stone, who is in charge of ticket sales for the Capitals. "Ever since it was announced in June, people have been absolutely bonkers over it. This is our Super Bowl."
The clamor for tickets hasn't ceased, even though the 65,000-plus spectators expected to attend far outnumber the past two Winter Classic crowds at baseball stadiums -- Fenway Park in Boston and Chicago's Wrigley Field.
The first Winter Classic, at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., drew more than 71,000 on Jan. 1, 2007. The Penguins played in that game, too, beating the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1, in a shootout on Crosby's winning goal.
It started snowing during the game, adding to the drama and creating a scene that was likened to a snow globe. That first regular-season outdoor NHL game played in the United States kick-started what has become a phenomenon.
About 30,000 tickets were allotted to the Penguins and 20,000 to the Capitals. The rest went to the Steelers, the NHL and its corporate sponsors and to fans whose names were picked in a lottery. A portion of the Penguins' tickets went to youth hockey groups.
About 4,300 tickets were available online Saturday, according to FanSnap, a website that provides links to ticket brokers. The cheapest seats, in the uppermost 500 level with a face value of $50, were selling for about $300 apiece. The median price of the remaining tickets was $575.
The highest original face value for a ticket was $250.
"We had high expectations, and it's already gone beyond high expectations," Morehouse said. "We had no reason not to think it wouldn't be extremely popular. We've sold out the last three years running; we have a waiting list of 8,000 seats. ... However, this has been even more than we anticipated."
Morehouse said he wanted the Penguins to host the event after attending the first Winter Classic.
"It's the uniqueness of it," he said. "It's also a celebration of winter. It's a way to experience hockey in a way you can't normally experience it. Instead of 18,000 screaming fans inside, it's a different experience with (65,000) fans screaming outside."
Chris Jankosky said he plans to get tickets for himself and his girlfriend -- one way or another. A Lower Burrell native, Jankosky lives in Denver, where he operates an ice rink. He said he has connections at Reebok, the NHL's official merchandiser, and hopes to land some freebies. If not, he said, he is willing to pay up to about $400 apiece.
"My friends in Pittsburgh are doing the same thing," he said. "It's like, 'How much can you spend• How much can you spend?' I'm just a die-hard hockey fan. I've been a Pens fan all my life, and I haven't made it back for a game yet this year. I like the different kind of events, and ever since they started this, I wanted to go to it. Once I heard it was in Pittsburgh, it was a done deal."
It would be especially cool, he said, to tailgate before a hockey game.
"That would be the main part of the experience," he said.
"Penguins fans will now have the ability to do what Steelers fans do," said Collins, who with NBC executive Jon Miller helped put the wheels in motion for the first Winter Classic. "People love big events."
So do local businesses. Most restaurants are closed on New Year's Day, but Davis said he is urging them to stay open to capitalize on folks staying overnight.
"I think all the hotels are pretty happy they decided to do it here," said Bob Page, the area director of sales and marketing for Omni Hotels and Resorts, which includes the William Penn Hotel in Downtown.
Page said the hotel is booked for New Year's Eve. That doesn't usually happen.
"Typically, we do a high occupancy, but we don't sell out," he said. "This year, it's a different story."

|Four pitches of chimneys and offwidths, what's not to like? Probably not worth a trip to Bells, but a worthwhile outing if in the area.

|I agree with Brian... It's worth the trip by itself... Just make sure you tail your pack. Or better yet, don't take a pack at all. The final pitch--coming out the roof has sweet exposure and moves!

|Did this route a few years ago and despite the offwidth nature of the route I had a great time. Excellent positions and exposure on the final pitch. I dropped my helmet at the top and watched it roll into the abyss so if you find a red Edelrid consider it a gift. I also thought this climb was a great experience- get on it!

|Outstanding! I hope she can use it, I thought the forces of that fall would have rendered it useless. Thanks for the update, climb safe~

|Given sfotexs description, I now know to avoid the Great Chokestone. Pitch two was a bit tight for my jeans- clearly it wasnt designed for an inflexible lank like me. Pitch three was surprisingly decent and pitch four started off fantastic (wow, the roof!) but quickly devolved into the expected grovel. Despite the heft, a #4 C2 was well appreciated, especially at the roof. Mostly worth the hike.

|Maybe it was bad luck, but this climb ended up being one of those Epic's that you'll never forget. One filled with falling boulders, night-descents with dead batteries and one working head light for 3 people, and empty water jugs. 16 hours after hiking up we got back to the car. For this reason, I give the 5.8 rating... Ha! Unforgettable!

hey im in the same boat, did you ever resolve the issue?
Whenever backtrack is started and after the login root and password toor and startx and all that jazz, my computer fails to enable the wireless and sound cards, yet everything else works perfectly.
In windows and ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10, once the OS has loaded, the cards become visibly enabled because their corresponding touch buttons turn from orange to blue. but when backtrack 4 is loaded, (which is debian based now like ubuntu right?), it remains orange indicating it is off. Can anyone help me with this or has a similar problem? This has occured in both backtrack 3 and 4.
Even when using ifconfig, it recognizes that there is a card, but it is not being enabled at start up for some reason
hey im in the same boat, did you ever resolve the issue?
no, i have not resolved this issue. I do not know where to start, really.
i have dv4 laptop to but i dont have the wireless problem, i use live cd of BT4 .
i do have sound problem.
and wireless injection not working ...
sorry about my English...
which dv4 laptop do you have, mine is a dv4-1125nr and there wasn't much information regarding it on the backtrack wiki site either. I've had this problem with both BT3 and BT4.
