The hostel had a great atmosphere, we slept in a renovated room, really nice and clean for a great price. We made a 5 day trip in Central Mongolia organised by this hostel and I definitely recommend it. The guide also cooked for us delicious meals, and the driver was very friendly. We stayed by nomadic families, it was a amazing experience! The owner of the hostel took good care of us, and you can see they really want you to feel welcome and happy with them! Great experience!

The Chicago Reporter invites you to join them in launching the September/October issue on September 9, 2010 at M Lounge. Come and enjoy free appetizers, $5 drink specials, door prizes, and free copies of this month's issue featuring an analysis of the criminal justice system in Illinois.
The Reporter discovered that Illinois is one of a handful of states that still sends 17-year-olds with a felony to adult court, even though many of these crimes are non-violent offenses. A disproportionate number of these kids are black and come from impoverished neighborhoods.
Register for the launch party raffle to sign up for our e-newsletter and a chance to win a messenger bag, swag, a FREE 1-year PDF subscription to The Chicago Reporter and a guest appearance on our weekly public affairs radio show. We'll announce the winner at the launch party. Be there to claim your prizes.

Surely I'm not the only one whos noticed that this is a repeated phrase in the game? I've heard plenty of times now and I'm sure we'll be hearing it plenty more. It must be some sort of extremely powerful magic placed first on Faith and probaly others so that they can't reveal harmful secrets to Bigby.
This comment may contain spoilers!
OH crap wait!
Is it the Vorpal Blade that is beheading the girls!? Bigby said a magick blade or something would do that, and in the book you look through while searching for Faith's family crest you do in fact see the page in Latin "Gladium Vorpal" now my theory so far, it has to be someone familiar with magick to create a powerful spell so no one could tell anyone about what or who was involved. My guess is that Telltale is setting up like the comics... I think maybe Baba Yaga might be involved disguised as Red Riding Hood (one of the achievements in steam is "What Big Eyes You Have" said by none other than Red Riding Hood)
This is my theory: http://www.scaryforkids.com/red-ribbon/
Here's my thought on the "lips are sealed" thing. Everyone's been tossing out the idea of powerful magic sealing away Faith's whereabouts and everyone else's ability to share what they know about them (including the mirror). It was seeing Georgie in the Episode 2 trailer with his "Kiss the Girl" tattoo that gave me the idea of the concept. Anyone wondering if the redhead with Georgie at the beginning is (based on the anemone-like flower in her hair) supposed to be The Little Mermaid? Someone whose fairytale is based on the idea of giving up one's ability to speak (or possibly, in this case, speak selectively) to a powerful witch? Maybe that's what we're looking at with Faith: a silencing spell cast by a witch (Baba Yaga?). If so, the spell in the fairytale was the result of an exchange. Hmm...
The witching cloak can conceal anything. Through powerful magic her whereabouts concealed. The ribbon is also magical and if it were made of the same fabric it would conceal specific words through a spell. And her ribbon was created in the mundy world.
This comment may contain spoilers!
while looking through the book when trying to find more about Faith, one of them mentions the vorpal blade, it's all in Latin of course but who wants to bet that that might be the powerful magic they mention that can take people's heads off.
What's weird. I noticed at the start of the game. You ask that woman, Faith what's she doing with the woodsman. She says "These lips are sealed" its likely nothing. Perhaps the person knew that Wolf would meet Faith there,
Then later on she repeats it, if you ask her about her job. Even the mirror repeats it. Has to be a magic spell. It's just difficult to know which one, because we only played first ep.
But people, didn't Snow end up in the same way as faith. She also didn't have any ribbon or anything.
I don't think the ribbon had so much to do with her death but who she was working for.
When you ask her who it is she's working for, she avoids the question and then points out her ribbon, which is really odd. No matter what you reply she gets a look like she's distressed or disappointed. If you reply with "quit changing the subject" she says she's trying to answer the questions as best as she can. That's just my take on it, anyway.
Powerful magics leads me to believe that we will in some way see Frau Totenkinder in here somewhere. I mean what good is a Fable story without a wicked witch right?
I love Frau Totenkinder! And I wouldn't call her wicked (any more), just machiavellian and ambiguous.
This comment may contain spoilers!
In episode 2 you see faith and lily's stuff and there is lipstic on the ground and when you ask the litle mermaid, she is puting lipstic at the same time she says that her lips are sealed, so it might be the lipstic or the ribbon

Canada Law
Ask a Canada Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
The value is about $25,000.00
My logging contractor has crossed the line (there is NO survey) and removed two loads (one poplar and one hardwood). Total value of wood removed is about 1,500.00
I arranged a meeting with the neighbor and the contractor on location.
The contractor admitted that his employees had made a mistake.
The contractor offered to do clean up and pay $2,500.00 compensation.
The neighbor refused this offer and demanded $10,000 in damages.
At first the neighbor was going to sue the contractor, but now he decided to seek damages from me. I and my wife are the owners of the property.
To put pressure on me the neighbor threatens to put all the cost of the legal action on me, which in final conclusion could cost me a lot more.
Is it true that in Quebec the loosing party does not have to pay the legal costs of the winning party?
And finally, I do not understand why I could be liable for any damages.
I hired the contractor to cut trees on my property, not the neighbor's.
In fact I marked the line (to best of my abilities), and the neighbor agreed on the line. Unfortunately, some hunters placed red ribbons in other parts of the property and that caused confusion. Is the neighbor not guilty of negligence (allowing multiple sets of ribbons on his property, knowing well that there is logging going on).
Sorry, is that too many questions?
Thank you
Thank you for your answer.
I understand I would not have to pay lawyer fees. Thank you for this information.
How about other costs?
If the neighbor decides to pay for expertise, such as surveys,
damage report, etc. (these are usually quite expensive) - do I run
a risk of having to pay for these (in case he wins)?
What the neighbor is unhappy about?
This is difficult to understand, unless one considers an opportunity to make some easy money.
This is a bush lot, where he also cuts trees. In fact in the past he crossed the line and cut my trees (he admitted that). He said "I may have cut on you, because I thought the line was further down that way".
Now he claims because of the contractor's mistake his lot has lost value and he will have to look at this "for the rest of his life".
During the same conversation he states that he had a party interested in buying his lot, but now they will not want to buy because of the missing trees.
He does not want to be compensated for the tress, but for the lost value of his lot.
Knowing this man and the lack of consistency in his statements I strongly believe he is simply interested in "free" money.
Of course damage was done and I understand he is entitled to compensation. However the compensation needs to be proportionate to the actual damage, not some imaginary, but real.
I do not understand if he can claim more than the value of the wood removed (almost 7 times more) from his lot. This is not a park or a cottage lot. This is a bush lot where the only value is the wood, and where he cuts trees, too.
He seems to be trying to scare me with the cost of the lawsuit, surveys,etc.
This is extortion.
Extortion (also called shakedown, outwresting, and exaction) is a criminal offence of unlawfully obtaining money, property, or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion (threats or intimidation).
Does the Quebec Civil Code have a provision for this kind of situation?
Can I counter sue him for extortion?
Surely there must be a reasonable expectation to what he may want as a settlement.
I can see $200 per tree in some more attractive location, but this is a bush lot where he too cuts trees. The trees cut were worth $1500 at the mill.
He wants $10,000 or my 50 acres !!!
So my 50 acres are worth 10,000 while his one acre is also worth 10,000? If this is not extortion I do not know what is.
Are you saying he can demand whatever he wants ???
He is also talking of adding a clam for his stress, etc.
In fact he says there is no end to what he wants.
This is causing my family a lot of stress - much more that it would be reasonable.
The reason I am asking you is because you (and this site) offer answers.
This is what I expected when I signed up.
I know I can hire a lawyer, but then what about your offer to answer questions?
So I repeat my question: Can I counter-sue for his unreasonable demands?
Yes, he admitted he cut on me in the past.
But let's leave this.
I have another question.
He claims his lawyer told him he has to sue me, not the contractor.
I know I own the land, but it was his people who went to cut where I repeatedly told them not to go.
In fact I do not know the details of what happened.
He claims one thing, the contractor claims another.
Clearly they are in conflict and I am in the middle (without knowing all the facts).
I cannot defend myself because I do not even know the details of how all this happened.
In short: is my neighbour correct in believing that he has no choice as to whom he must sue, and that he MUST only sue me even though I did not cut his trees?

Adding Rattle to the Reving--now to BMW corporate
Adding a rattle to my woes of reving.
Have had it for several months but kept getting worse.
This rattle is coming from the rear, at low speed before the car downshifts. So 'lugging' a gear will make it happen.
Replicated the rattle for service tech; shop kept the car 24 hrs and it rattled on the way home.
Took it back today and the shop foreman got in the car, listened for 20 seconds, did not replicate the problem but he began to rant about not being able to fix the problem. Will have to involve BMW.....GREAT will make sure the idle reving that still exists makes the list as well.
Gotta say, little pissed at BMW at this point. Not happy that a car of this price and quality is delivering these problems.
Still not happy with low speed surge; will make sure I throw that in as well.
Time will tell, will keep you up to date on BMW rep visit.

Sotalol is a drug used to treat rapid heart rates in dogs and cats. Rapid heart rates may lead to arrhythmias causing the heart to pump inefficiently. If the heart isn't pumping blood properly, oxygenated blood may not be able to reach different areas of the body. Sotalol is used primarily to prevent dysrhythmias.
Potential adverse effects:
shortness of breath
Too much sotalol may result in a very slow heart rate, low blood pressure, low blood sugars, and congestive heart failure. It is important to give your pet this medication exactly as prescribed and to not discontinue the drug without consulting with your pet's veterinarian.
There are many drugs that can interact with sotalol. Inform your pet's veterinarian about all medications given to your pet including non-prescription products and supplements. Below are a few medications that interact with sotalol:

Andy Murray [2] wants to repay British with Australian Open [3] success next month.
Murray has been recently crowned BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
According to the BBC [4], the 26-year-old Wimbledon champion beat rugby union player Leigh Halfpenny and jockey AP McCoy to win the award.
Murray is training in Miami to prepare for 2014's first Grand Slam, which starts in Melbourne on 13 January.
Murray said that he would try to repay their faith.
An emotional Murray said he would not immediately celebrate his victory, but would instead visit the gym for a weights session, the report added. (ANI [5])

Business Process Management Software Setting a New Phase in Business Automation
Technology has brought about a lot of benefits to business owners. Just imagine going back to the same old traditional way of doing business wherein everything has to be done manually. It is not only time consuming but a lot of money is being put into waste, considering the huge demand in the competitive market nowadays to produce quality goods and services. This is where Business Process Management (BPM) comes in, setting an entirely new phase in automating business operations. To get this done, there is a need to integrate both human resources and Information Technology assets to coordinate business strategies better than the usual. There is no other way to get this done, if not through the use of a Business Process Management software.
Most BPM software applications nowadays are so powerful that they do not only have the capability of solving challenges in handling certain exceptional tasks and automating routing scenarios but also challenges of putting together long-lasting yet refined activities that will involve both people and systems to act as a team in getting things done. There are some software applications that can work with less human intervention, which is just right for employees to focus on doing other business processes. But then again, there are still some that could not stand alone and need people to operate it to produce results. It is because of such situations that software vendors think of better ways on how they can improve their software. Not only business processes continue to improve over time, but supporting elements as well.

A samskara -- a groove in the mind that makes thoughts flow in the same direction and thus robs one of free choice -- is a choice you remember from the past. Each choice changed you by a tiny fraction.The process began at birth and continues to this day. Instead of fighting it, we all believe we should keep on making choices; as a result, we keep adding new samskaras and reinforcing the old ones. In Buddhism, this is called the wheel of samskara because the same old reactions keep coming around again and again. In a cosmic sense, the wheel of samskara is what drives a soul from one lifetime to the next -- old imprints impel us to face the same problems time and again, even beyond death.
Yet in a state of simple awareness, the most evolutionary choices seem to come spontaneously. While the ego agonizes over every detail of a situation, a deeper part of your awareness knows what to do already, and its choices emerge with amazing finesse and perfect timing. Hasn't everyone experienced flashes of clarity in which they suddenly know just what to do? Choice-less awareness is another name for free awareness. By freeing up the choice-maker inside, you reclaim your right to live without boundaries.

In the Far East the social unit, the ultimate molecule of existence, is not the individual, but the family.
The family was not only the social unit, but also the unit of government.
The family is no longer the social unit of the city as it is in the country.
The school or the schoolroom should constitute a social unit.
The individual and not the family is the social unit; the rights of individuals are foremost.
This feeling took a striking form because the family was a social unit occupying to a great extent the place of the state.
In some degree social relations should be considered, so that each class may be as far as practicable a social unit.
The social unit appears to be the family and the power of the headman is very limited.
The village is the social unit within which there are no clans, no political, or other divisions.
Every monastic house may be considered from two points of view, as a religious and as a social unit.

Dear Abby: First, or second, enjoy the dance
Dear Abby: I was invited to my first prom yesterday. The boy is a senior and the son of a friend of my mom's.
We have a lot in common. We have been friends for years and compete against each other in academics. The problem is, he asked a close friend of mine to go to the prom last week, and he did it right in front of me.
My friends, including the girl who said no, keep telling me he really does like me, even though I was apparently his second choice. The trouble is, I already said yes and I don't want to go back on my word. How do I keep myself from feeling like a consolation prize?
– Second Best
Dear S.B.: The boy who asked you to the prom wants to have a good time. As you said, you are friendly and have a lot in common. Please don't let the fact that he asked your friend first get in your way. It's not a contest for anyone's affection; it's only a dance.
Painful wake-up call
Dear Abby: In June of last year I fractured my kneecap. I was employed at the time and asked my daughter to fill in for me while I recuperated. Not only did she walk away from the job, she has yet to visit or even call me to see how I am doing.
I can't imagine anyone being so cold and distant. It hurts me to this day. How can I get past this hurt and disappointment?
– Still Hurting in Palm Desert
Dear Still Hurting: I can't imagine anyone being so cold and distant – not to mention irresponsible – unless there were unresolved issues between the two of you before you hurt your knee, or your daughter has emotional problems.
How do you get past something as painful as this wake-up call has been? The first option would be to try to understand what has caused your daughter to act the way she has. Another would be to fill your days with enough activities that you don't have time to dwell on it.

PDFs: Latest pendency plan - Nov. 26 | Previous pendency plan - Nov. 19
Catch up: San Bernardino
SAN BERNARDINO - It's not quite a balanced budget and it's not quite unanimous, but after weeks of pressure the City Council reached a milestone Monday when it passed a cuts package that will be presented to the court as part of the city's bankruptcy filing.
The plan, which cuts $26 million and defers nearly $35 million in payments, passed 5-2 after pleas for unanimous passage by City Attorney James F. Penman and Mayor Pat Morris, frequent adversaries.
"The people of San Bernardino are appealing to your patriotism, not to country but to city," Penman told council members, predicting tough legal fights against creditors who would argue a divided City Council wasn't committed to fixing a budget deficiency of $52.4 million. "The court, quite frankly, is not going to let us go forward if we don't have that resolve."
A 4-3 vote could demonstrate some commitment, but the closer council members are to speaking with one voice the better, Penman said.
But some cuts in the plan - particularly funding only 260 officer positions, compared to a peak of 350 and a current force of 268 - were unacceptable given high crime levels, said Councilmen Chas Kelley and John Valdivia, who cast the two dissenting votes.
The police cuts wouldn't involve layoffs. But as long as at least 260 officers remain, departing officers' positions will be unfunded - one of several changes in wording from last week's version, which said vacant positions would be "eliminated."
"When we make those cuts, we're jeopardizing the safety of the residents and we're jeopardizing the safety of the men and women in public safety, and that's irresponsible," Kelley said.
Instead, the plan needed to include cuts to top administrators, involve more public input and include a plan for economic development and more middle-class homeowners.
"How are we going to keep ourselves from going back to bankruptcy court without those changes?" Kelley asked.
Councilwoman Wendy McCammack said revenue generation was important and was mentioned in the plan as a future possibility, but creditors would tear apart a plan that depended on taxes that might not materialize. If that happened, she said, the city might be found ineligible for bankruptcy protection and forced to dissolve.
She and Councilman Robert Jenkins both referred to the vote as "holding (their) nose."
"This is not a perfect plan - it isn't," Jenkins said. "Unfortunately, a lot of the plan is on the back of our employees, and that I don't like."
Another controversial measure was increased employee pension payments - meaning smaller take-home pay - for police, fire and other employees.
The package is known as a pendency plan because it will guide the city's spending during its bankruptcy. A traditional line-item budget will follow that and may include small changes.
"I'm talking $1, $5," said Interim City Manager Andrea Travis-Miller.
As part of Monday's vote, the council also decided to have monthly meetings on the city's actions relative to a budget stabilization plan presented July 9. That plan was the basis of the pre-pendency plan passed in September and the pendency plan.

Come to the Knicks!!! We need a PG on the cheap.
Link doesn't work.
Anyways, if Nash is 39 and still playing, Allen Iverson could definitely still play. He's quicker, stronger, and can draw a huge fan base even if he sucks. He will sell merchandise and tickets. A team like Bobcats or Phoenix could use him.. He can put up 15 PPG and at least 3 rebounds/5 assists per game. Still one of the quickest and elite scorers in NBA history. It's unfortunate that the only reason he's not playing in the NBA is because of his attitude. Coaches and management don't want a player who doesn't practice and has a negative aura. Let's just hope he grows up.

AI, VC, Dirk, and Brand on a team.. man, a few years ago THAT would have been the dream team! i really hope he makes it back! I could see boston goin after him now maybe, at least to have him the rest of the season

Actually I hope he plays one game in the NBA this year, because it will put off him getting into the HOF so it will delay all the media whores singing his praises when he is inducted.
6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.
told you all since 2010 he was a toolbag.....
He isnt making it back to the NBA, ever, in any way... Period. He had his run but he is done, for a reason. He just doesnt have it anymore. Teams wont take a chance on him now... and for good reason. He gave his all for so long and now he just doesnt have it. Respect him but, hes done

The icons collection has some issues that need to be resolved: * It's nice to have a more generalized library, but this goes to a point where "icons" is really questionable. This can be seen in the weird result of logos being considered as a kind of icons. More generally, this could probably cover "sprites" in the future, so perhaps some more generic term like "image" is more appropriate. * The "Making New SVG Icons" section should really be elsewhere -- and IMO, this kind of text should go into some readme file (but if not, then a second manual that will not get distributed would be more fitting). The text is written as a kind of a README thing anyway, and it's explicitly said to be "for Racket developers". As another indication for this, the section documents stuff in `icons/private', which is a self-contradiction (if it's documented then it's not private). * Is it really worth it to add such a huge amount of stuff to the distribution?? (It is now the second biggest collection, only redex is a little bigger than it.) * It breaks the dependencies. The error is: unsatisfied dependency for "dr-bin": "racket/collects/icons/main.rkt" (in: "racket/collects/drracket/compiled/syncheck-drracket-button_rkt.dep" ...) This means that the DrRacket distribution requires "icons/main.rkt", and that's missing from the distribution. The reason it's missing is that Matthew tried to fix the more serious problem that was there before: the new icons requires `slideshow' and `texpict' (via `unstable/gui/pict'), and since DrRacket uses it, it now depends on these too. Potential ways to resolve it: 1. Decide that it's fine to make slideshow and texpict required for drracket. 2. Dump the idea of making sense and stop making these tests. 3. Avoid the new dependency, and make the code not require that. Potentially do that by splitting the code into a part that drracket can use, and a part that is not needed. * Also, it seems to me that the code that uses Inkscape, and probably the SVG files too, should not be distributed by default, since they have no use for most people. This means that it is better to put them in something like `meta/images' which will sort out the dependencies by default -- since `meta' is not intended for distribution, and since normal code should never require stuff from `meta'. * And a minor picky point: when I compare "magnifying-glass-left-shiny.svg" and "magnifying-glass-left-diffuse.svg", they are both cropped at the top (at least the way that they're rendered in Emacs), but in addition they're at different places (which is visible in the PNG rendered files too). I wouldn't have pointed it out, but it might be some bug in your rendering script. -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life!

 Isky was asked by multiple people to move his computer somewhere else,
 and he just blows them off. Isky gets asked by multiple people to
 actually work on projects instead of just using the space as his
 living room, and he just blows them off. I don't think the problem is
 people not being assertive enough with him.

I imagine Isky is getting heavily conflicting suggestions from all of Noisebridge on this. Some people seem to assertively want him to move the desktop or take it home, others probably tell him it's nice to have the desktop there, and that he's not in the way, and it's great that it's available for use. I don't think it's unusual in that situation to prefer the advice of the people who you already agree with.

 Isky is going to continue to do whatever he wants. Sometimes that fits
 well with others, sometimes it doesn't. But that doesn't influence
 Isky's behavior.

I've recently noticed a number of weird channels that pop up from time to time in airodump-ng. These access points include various channel numbers like 108 or 133, have their rate set to -1, and come with an empty SSID (<length: 0>). I've seen these pop up many times in multiple areas, and I've seen them in multiple versions of aircrack-ng - first tested with the version that comes prepacked with BT4b and later with an updated version of 1.0 rc3 r1508. I'm not sure whether this is a bug in airodump-ng or the drivers, but I thought it'd be worth reporting. I've used my Alfa AWUS036H to make the capture.
Here is a screenshot (check the last two) and a capture file.

Country star Martina McBride has corralled some high-powered friends to appear in the music video for her latest single, I'm Gonna Love You Through It, which debuted today.
To go with the lyrics of the song, the music video features dozens of real-life cancer survivors and supporters including four well-known celebrities who have very personal connections to the disease including Robin Roberts, Hoda Kotb, Sheryl Crow and Katie Couric.
Roberts was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, underwent treatment and was declared became cancer-free in March 2008. Katie Couric lost her husband Jay Monahan to colon cancer in 1998. Sheryl Crow was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer in 2006. Hoda Kotb announced she had breast cancer in March 2007 and underwent a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery.
"Many of my songs have championed causes over the past several years. When I heard this song for the first time, I knew it was a song I wanted to record because of the strong message it sends," said McBride. The song is from her upcoming album titled Eleven, due out Oct. 11. The music video was shot in Nashville, TN, in mid-July and was directed by Roman White.

Bartlett prepares to fall on sword
Page Tools
Lost their seats: Brian Greig, Aden Ridgeway and John Cherry.
Photos: Supplied
Andrew Bartlett says he will stand down as leader of the Australian Democrats if members decide it is best, after the party's vote plummeted in the election.
The Democrats look set to lose all three senators who were up for re-election - NSW's Aden Ridgeway, Queensland's John Cherry and Western Australia's Brian Greig - and the party appears unlikely to gain the South Australian seat it lost when former leader Meg Lees, who won the position as a Democrat, formed her own party.
That leaves four senators - one short of what the Democrats require to maintain party status under parliamentary rules. The loss of status would mean the loss of significant resources, which could threaten the party's existence.
Its share of the national Senate vote was 2 per cent, down from 7.25 per cent in the previous election. Senator Bartlett said it was clear that reform was needed, but it was up to the members if that should begin with a leadership change.
"Of course as leader you take the ultimate responsibility and, as befits a democratic party, the membership will decide what happens next - whether it's the leadership or other aspects of where the party goes," he said.
"If the membership believe (me standing down is) the best way to go, I'm quite willing to do that, or I'm willing to stay on."
Under the party's constitution, there is an automatic spill of both the leader and deputy leader positions after each election. A leadership ballot will take place before Christmas.
The party needed to win at least one seat to maintain its party status, which entitles it to extra staff and larger office.
Senator Bartlett did not concede any of the party's seats yesterday. South Australia is its best prospect, but the Democrats were only polling 2.32 per cent of the primary vote.
Senator Greig, who still thought he had an outside chance of keeping his seat in Western Australia, blamed the national result on the leadership spill in 2002 that saw Natasha Stott Despoja replaced by Senator Bartlett.
"I think it basically comes down to the internal troubles we experienced two years ago, from which we've never recovered," he said.
"We haven't won back the faith and confidence of voters from that time."
He said the party needed to do a lot of soul-searching and a change of leadership had to be considered.
Democrats founder Don Chipp was devastated to see the party he founded in 1977 decimated.
"When you have a dream, a dream that you've treasured all your life, to keep the Parliament honest and having people vote according to their conscience - to see that dream shattered, it's pretty difficult," he said.
Andrew Bartlett may stand down.
Photo:Erin Jonasson
But he was optimistic about the party's future, saying that three years with the Coalition in control of the Senate would remind Australians how important the Democrats' role in the upper house was.
"I'm totally confident they'll bounce back and regain the balance of power," Mr Chipp said.
"Australians have demonstrated that they need and want a centre party in the Senate to control the excesses of Government."
His advice? "They need to go back to the basics, the basics that I set in 1977: honesty, tolerance and compassion."

Whitecaps to host Major League rehab Sunday
By West Michigan Whitecaps | July 12, 2013 2:25 PM ET
COMSTOCK PARK, MI - The Midwest League affiliate of the Chicago Cubs is coming to West Michigan this weekend, and the Kane County Cougars are planning on bringing a big leaguer with them.
Former Minnesota Twins' pitcher Scott Baker, now rehabbing from Tommy John surgery with the Chicago Cubs' organization, is scheduled to make his first appearance of the season for the Cougars on Sunday at Fifth Third Ballpark. The 1:00 p.m. ballgame is the second game of a three-game series between the West Michigan Whitecaps and their Western Division rivals from Kane County. In addition to a Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Family Day, there will also be a special appearance by WGVU's Buddy the Dinosaur.
As reported by the Chicago Tribune, Baker threw a bullpen session at Wrigley Field on Thursday in front of Cubs' manager Dale Sveum and pitching coach Chris Bosio. The Kane County Cougars have confirmed that Baker is expected to start on Sunday and throw four innings or 60-65 pitches.
The weekend series between West Michigan and Kane County marks the only opportunity of the season for Whitecaps' fans to watch Chicago Cubs' farmhands at Fifth Third Ballpark. The Cougars' current roster includes seven members of Baseball America's top-30 prospects in the Cubs' organization, highlighted by No. 2 prospect Albert Almora and No. 7 prospect Dan Vogelbach.
The 31-year-old Baker was selected by the Twins in the second round of the 2003 draft and played with Minnesota for seven seasons from 2005-2011, posting a 63-48 record with a 4.15 ERA. He was in the midst of a breakout season in 2011 - ranking eighth in the American League with a 2.86 ERA in late July - when right elbow soreness eventually cut his year short. After missing the remainder of the 2011 season, Baker had surgery in April of 2012 and was expected to return early this season before suffering a setback during Spring Training.
Baker pitched in the Midwest League during his initial climb up the Minor League ladder, spending his 2003 professional debut with the Quad City River Bandits. He went 3-1 with a 2.49 ERA over 11 starts during that season.
After being released by the Twins over the off-season, Baker signed with the Cubs in November for a reported $5.5 million.
The Whitecaps continue a six-game homestand at Fifth Third Ballpark with a 7:00 p.m. first pitch on Saturday night against the Kane County Cougars. RHP Jake Thompson (0-2, 3.27) is scheduled to pitch for West Michigan against RHP Tayler Scott (4-4, 4.35) of the Cougars. Promotions include a mini-bat giveaway for the first 1,000 fans, a celebration of the Whitecaps' 2004 championship club and post-game fireworks. Group and individual tickets can be reserved by calling the Whitecaps front office at 616-784-4131 or visiting www.whitecapsbaseball.com.

Syd Bone, the managing director of CP2, has ruled out lifting the fund's $2.1 billion takeover bid for
"It can't happen," Mr Bone told The Australian Financial Review.
"It's a full and fair offer price. We'd be pretty confident [ConnectEast investors] would be interested in taking the offer."
ConnectEast plans to hold a meeting on September 27 for shareholders to vote on the offer after its board recommended a bid of 55¢ per share for the Melbourne-based tollroad group from CP2 (its largest investor) and a consortium of eight foreign investment funds last month.
CP2, which put together the consortium, had secured commitments from the funds to participate in the bid on the basis the acquisition price had already been agreed, Mr Bone said, adding the funds needed approval from their investment committees to participate. "It was quite a delicate balance in the end," he said.
Some of ConnectEast's minority shareholders were pushing for a higher price, closer to 60¢, before the Australian sharemarket fell sharply early this month.
ConnectEast's shares have since traded as low as 51¢ this month before closing yesterday at 53¢.
But the uncertainty in the markets has reduced pressure on CP2 to raise its bid price.
CP2's offer has also received backing from Deloitte Corporate Finance, which has described the bid as "fair and reasonable" because it sits within the fair market value range for ConnectEast of between 51¢ and 57¢ per share.
ConnectEast's board yesterday released Deloitte's report after commissioning it to provide an independent opinion.
Meanwhile, some of ConnectEast's largest shareholders, such as the Commonwealth Bank, have been reducing their holdings in the tollroad company, suggesting they are not confident of a higher offer.
The Commonwealth Bank owns about 6 per cent of ConnectEast, making it the fourth largest shareholder behind CP2, the New Zealand Superannuation Fund (which is participating in the bid) and Lazard Asset Management.
CP2's 35 per cent stake in ConnectEast is held on behalf of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, the British Universities Superannuation Scheme and the Danish fund ATP, with the five other funds in the consortium planning to acquire the remaining 65 per cent of the company.
Once the deal is complete, CP2 will be paid a fee for managing the investments of consortium members and will also own a 0.7 per cent stake in ConnectEast directly.
CP2 has no plans to change ConnectEast's current strategy, with Mr Bone stressing he is happy with the tollroad group's current management, led by managing director Dennis Cliche. "It [will be] very much business as usual."
CP2 argues that ConnectEast will deliver more value for its owners as an unlisted entity because it will not be affected by market volatility.
Although listed infrastructure companies like tollroad group Transurban claim to be "defensive" assets in volatile markets, their share prices have still fallen in line with the broader market when the ASX 100 has dropped sharply.

SWINDON Town manager Mark Cooper lathered praise on Jay McEveley after the defender made his final appearance for the club in Saturday's defeat to Rotherham United.
McEveley revealed after the game that he was set to move to pastures new over the summer after two years as a permanent fixture in the Swindon squad, and the former Barnsley man received a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 87th minute at the weekend.
As one of the senior members of a young squad, Cooper was thankful to the Scouser for making his life easier since being appointed Town boss in mid-August.
The Robins chief said: "He's been fantastic. For me, as a manager coming in, he's been a model professional. He's tried his socks off every time he's trained and played and you could see the desire from him to go out with a goal.
"Believe it or not, he asked if we could set that corner up yesterday (Friday) morning in training and it worked like that.
Unfortunately it was a couple of inches from being a fairytale ending for him but he has been brilliant for me and I sincerely wish him all the best.
"I'm sure it won't be long before he gets fixed up.
"He's thoroughly enjoyed this year. It's been a totally different way of playing from what he's used to and he feels he's learning different thing every day. He's been outstanding."
With McEveley moving on, Cooper may need to recruit another experienced pro for next season. However, he stressed that he is not about to sign a player simply on the basis of the number of appearances he has made in the Football League.
He said: "It's all well and good having experience but it's got to be the right kind of experience. It's no good having an experienced player who doesn't really help the team. Whoever we bring in has got to be able to benefit the team and help the younger players around him."

How the Republican Party is like the Catholic Church, Except It Isn't, Except It IsVis-a-vis the Foley scandal, in an essay "How the Republican Party is like the Catholic Church" for the New Republic, Andrew Sullivan asks: "What is the closet, after all, if it isn't the steadily crumbling facade of internal psychic damage?"
I ask: Does anyone actually edit the New Republic?
A facade is the outward, public face of something, so it can't be "internal." If it were, however, the fact that the damage was "crumbling" would be a good thing. Damage = bad, right?
The sentence comes from a passage designed to partially absolve Mark Foley for his behavior by blaming, in part, those who disapprove of homosexual activity:
Is it possible to feel sympathy for [Mark Foley]? I guess I felt a twinge of it, as I feel when any gay man is subjected to public scorn and anger. And I do not want to doubt that he may have been molested himself as a teen; or that he might have an addiction problem; or that he has a psyche damaged by decades of internalized homophobia. What is the closet, after all, if it isn't the steadily crumbling facade of internal psychic damage?The over-written phrase "steadily crumbling facade of internal psychic damage" serves to disguise the fuzzy thinking. Why, after all, should disapproval damage the psyche of a person who believes the disapproval is meritless? Make them mad or contemptuous; possibly. Crumble their facades, no.
But why think it over anyway, as Sullivan in his next paragraph tells us none of what he wrote in that one matters:
But, in the end, none of this matters. Foley is entitled to his weaknesses and his pathologies. He is not entitled to drag young people in his care into them.Okay so far, except then Sullivan says it matters again:
The worst thing one can do to [teenage homosexual men] at such an impressionable age, I think, is to initiate them into the cycle of shame and denial that comes with the closet.And it is back to blaming those who disapprove of homosexual activity again:
And it points to the obvious conclusion to this tawdry, depressing spectacle. There is something deeply sick about a Republican elite that is comfortable around gay people, dependent on gay people, staffed by gay people -- and yet also rests on brutal exploitation of homophobia to win elections at the base. These public homophobes, just like the ones in the Vatican, may even tolerate gay misbehavior more readily than adjusted gay people do. If you treat gay sex in any form as a shameful secret to keep concealed, the line between adult, consensual contact and the sexual exploitation of the young may not seem so stark. That's how someone like Speaker Dennis Hastert could have chosen not to know...Got it everybody? External facades are internal, and damaging, but when the damage crumbles, that's bad. And what Mark Foley did is the fault of people who think sex is for marriage, except it isn't, except it is.
Everybody straight on that?
I thought not.

Brandi Chastain reacts to criticism from Hope Solo
LONDON – NBC commentator and former U.S. soccer star Brandi Chastain responded Sunday to Hope Solo's weekend criticism of her on Twitter.
Chastain, hero of the 1999 women's World Cup, invoked the ire of the current U.S. goalkeeper with critical comments of the team's defense during the broadcast of a 3-0 victory Saturday against Colombia in Glasgow, Scotland.
Chastain said her new job is to be a journalist.
"I'm here to do my job, which is to be an honest and objective analyst at the Olympics," she told news reporters at a media event in Birmingham, England.
Solo complained on Twitter in the moments following the game that Chastain, a former defender, should learn more about defense and goalkeeping in today's game before assigning blame.
She kept the conversation going Sunday when former Atlanta Beat coach James Galanis supported her on Twitter, writing that the old generation of American soccer players have for years been afraid the new generation "will eclipse their legacy."
Solo agreed, tweeting, "Some people see through it." The tweet was later deleted.
In an interview with USA TODAY Sports a day before the Colombia game, Chastain praised Solo's ability and demeanor, adding that she had a "humongous ego" necessary for her position on the field.
"She's a big strong athlete," said Chastain, asked to describe the indispensable players on the American roster. "She's very coordinated with both feet. She can make big saves and she has a humongous ego. You have to have a goalkeeper that feels she owns the goal. She feels that she can dominate.
"She plays the villain and I think at times she likes to walk that line. You have to have that swagger to play the position."
Solo and the U.S. women have clinched a berth in the Olympic quarterfinals and will face North Korea in their final group play match Tuesday in Manchester.

Do you ever feel as if you have too much junk in your closet? I'm referring to the closet of your mind and the information you process every day when you log into your social stream and open your email.
Maybe it's time to schedule a spring cleaning and reduce the pressure of your social media fire hose!
The answer might be "yes" if you:
- Get Facebook messages from groups you didn't join or from people you don't really know.
- Receive daily notifications from LinkedIn groups that you automatically delete, or if you get invites to connect from people simply because you share a group and have nothing else in common.
- Look at your Twitter and Facebook streams and wonder, "who is this person?"
If so…
Where do you begin?
Here's my story of how I began this difficult spring cleaning chore…
I mentioned to my husband that I really wanted to do some spring cleaning and clear out stuff I don't use but didn't know where to start. He asked and suggested,
"What gives you the most stress? Start there."
Stress begins the moment I set down to the computer and "log on!" The answer resulted in my quest to cut down the influx of information processed on a daily basis as a result of being involved in social media.
I began my quest on a rainy day spring Saturday by leaving Facebook and LinkedIn groups, changing email notification settings on others, and unfriending and unfollowing people I don't really know.
My biggest stress is the overload of information I don't find useful or don't act upon, cluttering up my brain and taking attention away from what I do want to read, including zapping free time.
The decision to leave groups and unfriend people has been stressful in itself. But the following words from a long-time close friend resonate:
"Why are you spending so much of your energy with hundreds of people you don't really know?
You're the one who often talks about opportunity costs, and you've been complaining about not having time to ride your bike and do other stuff. Something always has to give."
The advice of this good friend served as a mirror. What was I willing to give up?
After months of feeling like I don't have time for things I really want to do, to master the things I want to become proficient in, I realized the opportunity costs were getting the better of me and I had to change – NOW! Many of you know I've been dealing with some health issues. I sleep more as a result. If I want to enjoy biking, hiking, writing, gardening, time with family, studying, reading and working full-time (plus) while running an SEO consultancy, then it's time to guard the few spare hours left in a day.
This spring cleaning served as the difficult first steps to turn down the pressure of my social media fire hose to free up headspace and make time for what's important. (And writing blog posts is one of those.) The spring cleaning exercise reminded me it's time to get back my writing voice and share why I've made such changes.
Your Backyard
You're in control of what comes into your yard, your personal space. You either control it, or you'll be overwhelmed by it.
Let's take physical space and compare it to an etheral, online sense:
You are in your backyard. You have a table and chairs and your little space. You invite a few people over to chat. Others start showing up, talking about whatever. You welcome the first few and enjoy varied conversations.
But you didn't shut the gate to the yard. More and more people come in. Later, hundreds of conversations are circling you at once. Your back yard is no longer a place to hang out with close friends, family and neighbors. Every time you walk outside, you are bombarded with megaphones of chatter. You stop going into your own yard as often as a result.
That's the way I've felt with the growing size of my social networks. Oh, I LOVE the socialization and the sharing, but one can only hold so many conversations at one time and retain quality.
The following people have also served as "mirrors" and inspiration in their writings and attempts to shut down the influx of noise from social media:
Joanna Lord wrote, Finding My Voice: A Lesson Learned, in which she decided to stop allowing so much noise to surround her after asking herself:
"Am I doing what I should be doing?"
"Am I spending my time on the right things?"
"Am I being true to myself and the dreams I once dreamt?"
Amanda Orson shared about her Reverse To-Do List in which she writes down progress she's made each day in a notebook. Her focused approach lead her to tweet and participate in forumns less:
"The relentless pursuit of becoming more efficient and getting things done readjusted my priorities. I spend a lot less time wasting time and a lot more time trying to add things to my tiny notebook of accountability."
Matthew Leonard shared his journey, When to Take a Social Media Break:
"Twitter became my priority. It became my obsession.
I should've been shutting down and enjoying a moment in life, a moment I can never get back.
Instead, my mind was focused on how to condense the moment into 140 characters and share it.
My life had become a massive extended relationship. I was losing focus on the core people, and priorities, in my life. I was spreading myself too thin for fear of not 'sharing', or turning my back on social media.
If one's not careful, life can become one massive extended relationship!
I recently had a conversation with Shane Igo, a guy very involved in consumer electronics, and discussed how fewer people are reading. I expressed my concern about a "dumbing down" of our culture due to people spending so much time in social media. His response was insightful:
"There is a lot of good that comes from social media. However, people get overwhelmed if they don't have good filters or ability to process.
People have a longing to have mastery over a craft or subject. That will not come from just keeping up on tweets. You need to dig deeper."
Yes! You have to dig deeper! The social media firehose can become a distraction that interrupts one's mastery over a craft (other than becoming a "social media guru").
I love social media and appreciate the friendships that have developed from it. I want to keep those friends and not get so diluted that I don't notice them as they "fly by" in my stream. Too much of a good thing doesn't make it better.
For me, it's time to control the fire hose.
What about you?
How do you control the influx of information you process? Do you have things you enjoy or passions you want to pursue that do not involve the computer?
If you could free up an extra hour or two a day, what would you do with your free time?

The US soldier accused of feeding a trove of classified documents to WikiLeaks looks almost certain to face trial following a second recommendation that he be court-martialled.
Bradley Manning has been indicted on 22 counts relating to the largest ever leak of confidential data in American history.
If found guilty of charges – which include aiding the enemy – he could be sentenced to death, although prosecutors have indicated that they will not be seeking the ultimate penalty.
Nonetheless, the counts against him carry a maximum jail time of 150 years.
Earlier this month, the army judge presiding over the case recommended to a court-martial convening authority that Manning be tried.
Thursday's decision to pass that ruling further up the chain of command means that Manning is just one decision away from knowing if he is to face a court martial over the alleged crimes.
That decision is now in the hands of major general Michael Linnington, commander of the military district of Washington.
Manning, a 24-year-old low-ranking intelligence officer, is accused of passing on more than 700,000 US Department of State documents and sensitive army records to the whistle-blowing website.
In a preliminary hearing in December, a military court heard that the suspect "indiscriminately and systematically" harvested sensitive data after being deployed to Iraq in 2009.
"Manning gave the enemy of the United States unfettered access to classified documents," army prosecutor Ashden Fein claimed.
But his defence team countered that the unit in which the young soldier served was "lawless" when it came to security.
Manning's civilian lawyer David Coombs also drew attention to his client's fragile state of mind.
The young soldier suffered from gender identity disorder and felt alienated in the army due to his sexuality, the court heard.
Coombs also suggested that prosecutors were trying to "strong-arm" his client into a confession, so that they could use him to "go after Julian Assange and WikiLeaks."
The civilian lawyer also hit out at the military proceedings for not allowing him to call a string of witnesses, including psychologist and psychiatrists.
On Monday on his website, Coombs criticised a decision to refuse his request for oral submissions from nine other witnesses.
These experts would have testified on whether the data leaked was indeed classified and if "there was any harm to national security" from the documents being made public.
Coombs accused the government of "improperly" in blocking his access to what the lawyer described as "essential" witnesses.
