Hi! I'd have the
start_url: http://foo.com/ http://foo2.com/ http://foo3.com/foofile.html
Some of the start_url URLs I was supplied by the site maintainers are in the
form "http://foo3.com/foofile.html" and they have no index file. Since I am
not in individual contact with all these people and am working off a URL
list, I can't get them all to rename "foofile.html" to "index.html"
However, I'd like to have all the <a href> linked local files on
foofile.html indexed, anyway.
The present limit_urls_to is like this
limit_urls_to: ${start_url}
Can I change the limit_urls_to another generic string that will get every
file on "http://foo3.com/" and sub-directories that is linked to
(I know it would be better if they all had proper index files and I could
just use the URL http://fooX.com/ for each starting_url, but it might be
hard to contact all 300 sites and get them to all change them properly.)
Thanks very much.

The Public Education System in Ohio is dysfunctional. The concept of mandating that a particular student attend a particular building regardless of the positives and negatives contained within that building as they pertain to that student does not fulfill the mission of education. It perpetuates the building and the system contained with that building. The choice of a student's education belongs with the family, without the "blackmail" of losing their property tax dollars or their child's athletic eligibility if they make an educational choice other than what the State of Ohio mandates. There has to be a voucher system that travels with each student in Ohio to be used at any recognized location in Ohio, allowing each family to make individual choices for their student.
It has been a painful experience to follow the Nelson twins' problems with the Ohio educational system. It has likewise been an uplifting experience to watch the twins on the wrestling mat even though it resulted in a loss for my son. From my vantage point, wrestling and wrestlers in the state of Ohio will suffer from the loss of ability, character and competition the twins bring to the sport. This society needs to strive towards excellence, this situation is at the very least one step in the wrong direction.
The Ohio educational system is a problem crying out for solutions based in individual choice.

So, are you on an US campus now? If you are a Chinese student, your culture shock is guaranteed. To understand others, you will need to master not only the English language, but also the art of crossing cultures.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you to adapt to your new reality as soon as possible. That's why I prepared the following orientation tips which are meant to help you.
Culture Shock – Welcome to the USA!
As soon as you make your first steps on campus, some things you see and hear can leave your mouth wide open. These are only a few elements of culture, which seem absolutely natural to Americans, but astonish Chinese students and other foreigners:
- Freedom and independence. Everyone in America is free to do whatever they want (unless it does harm to other people.) From their early childhood, American kids are free to choose their food and activities. However, responsibility goes hand in hand with freedom. Thus, high school graduates are called 'young adults' and can be asked to pay the rent or even move from their parents' house and live on their own.
- Individuality. Americans are individualists, and they feel absolutely comfortable alone. You will see an American student alone on campus every now and then. By contrast, a Chinese student needs company and usually shows up with a group of Chinese friends.
- Privacy. Americans' homes are their castles of privacy. This is why it would be absolutely inappropriate to visit somebody without calling ahead and letting them know you come. Even if someone tells you "to feel like home", you'd better be careful how you interpret this invitation. This principle, however, is not applicable to living in the dorm.
- First names. Chinese students can be surprised with the fact that everyone (even professors) may ask them to use their first names. Only imagine calling your 40-year-old professor "Jane"… However, you should not do so unless the professor asks you to do it.
- Politeness. Americans are rather straightforward and do not care too much about finding softer wording (unless it is a matter of politically correct terms, such as "visually impaired" for "blind" or "African-American" for "the black".)
When an American says "yes", it usually means "yes", and "no" usually means "no". Yet, the English American language is full of polite words, such as "please", "thank you", "you are welcome" and others. Always say "thank you" even if the action is not optional. For example, when a McDonald's cashier gives you your change, you should say "thank you."
Go Outside Your Comfort Zone
Crossing cultures and making friends from another culture can be scary, but it is rewarding! All you need to do is:
- to bear in mind the above-discussed differences,
- to go outside your comfort zone (the familiar company of other Chinese students);
- to find something in common with other students (sports, studies, or music);
- and to kick up a conversation.
Even if your attempts fail once or twice, you should keep trying. If you feel that your accent is bad, you may use these accent reduction tips. Studying abroad is your chance to make friends with people from all over the world. Do not miss it!
Have you ever had a culture shock? If yes, what situation made your lower jaw drop in surprise? I am looking forward to reading your funny stories in the section below.

How are Giovanni Caboto, Giovanni Verranzzano, and Jaques Cartier the same or different from each other?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Caboto and Verranzo are different for several reasons. Caboto was born earlier and made his first navigation exploration in 1497. Verranzo was born about 1485 and made his first navigation exploration in the 1520s, about forty years after Caboto. In addition, Caboto sailed for England's Henry VII while Verranzo later sailed for France's Francis I. Cabot landed on New Foundland in what is today Canada while Verranzo landed near Cape Fear in North Carolina of today's the United States and later discovered what is now New York Harbor.

Daniel Barenboim Makes his Met Debut Conducting Tristan und Isolde on November 28
Renowned maestro Daniel Barenboim conducts at the Metropolitan Opera for the first time in his illustrious career on November 28, leading an acclaimed cast in Wagner's master opus of transcendent love, Tristan und Isolde. Singing the title roles for the first time with the company are Swedish soprano Katarina Dalayman and German heldentenor Peter Seiffert. The opening night cast also includes German bass René Pape as King Marke, reprising one of his most admired portrayals; American mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung as Brangäne; and, in his Met debut, German bass-baritone Gerd Grochowski as Kurwenal. Korean bass Kwangchul Youn portrays King Marke in later performances. At all performances, Stephen Gaertner is Melot and Matthew Plenk the Sailor's Voice. This 1999 production by Dieter Dorn continues through December 20.
On Sunday, December 14 at 7:00 p.m., Barenboim, one of the world's great pianists, will play the first solo piano recital on the Met stage since Vladimir Horowitz's legendary performance in 1986. The program consists entirely of works by Franz Liszt: from the "Années de pèlerinage, Deuxième Année: Italie," he plays the three Petrarch sonnets, and "Après une lecture de Dante." Also in the first half of the program is "St. François d'Assise - La predication aux oiseaux" from "Légendes." Following intermission, he performs the virtuosic Paraphrases on three operas by Giuseppe Verdi: Il Trovatore, Aida, and Rigoletto.
On November 23, Barenboim joins Met Music Director James Levine and four members of the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program-Lisette Oropesa, Sasha Cooke, Matthew Plenk, and Shenyang-at the season's second MET Chamber Ensemble concert in Weill Hall. He and Levine will play four-hand piano pieces, Schubert's Sonata in C "Grand Duo," and Brahms's Liebeslieder and Neues Liebeslieder Waltzes, accompanying the quartet of young singers.
Throughout a remarkable international career spanning more than five decades, Daniel Barenboim has established himself as one the finest concert pianists, conductors, and chamber musicians in the world today. Maestro Barenboim made his conducting debut in London with the New Philharmonia Orchestra in 1967, and from 1975 to 1989 he was the Music Director of the Orchestre de Paris. In 1991 he succeeded Sir Georg Solti as Music Director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, a position he held for 15 years. Opera has figured prominently in his career: Barenboim made his conducting debut in 1973 with a performance of Mozart's Don Giovanni at the Edinburgh International Festival, and in 1981 he made his debut at the Bayreuth Festival, where he has conducted Tristan und Isolde, the Ring cycle, Parsifal, and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. In 1992 he became General Music Director of the Berlin State Opera. He was named "Maestro Scaligero" at La Scala in 2006, where he conducted Patrice Chéreau's new production of Tristan und Isolde in December 2007. Barenboim maintains an active schedule of performances, appearing in recitals and with orchestras worldwide. This season, Carnegie Hall has selected him for his second Perspectives series. Daniel Barenboim has published his autobiography A Life in Music, and Parallels and Paradoxes, which he wrote together with Edward Said. Music Quickens Time, his book arguing for the urgent value of music in this present day, is being published this month in the United States by Verso Books.
Katarina Dalayman, who made her Met debut as Brangäne in 1999, has since appeared as the Duchess of Parma in the Met premiere of Busoni's Doktor Faust, as well as Lisa in The Queen of Spades and Marie in Wozzeck. She has sung Isolde at the Berlin State Opera, most recently under the baton of Maestro Barenboim in September 2008. Other notable engagements include Marie in Stuttgart and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Kundry in Parsifal at the Paris Opera, Sieglinde at Covent Garden, and Brünnhilde in the Stockholm Ring cycle and at Aix-en-Provence, the latter a role she will sing at the Easter Festival in Salzburg in 2009 and 2010.
When Peter Seiffert made his 2004 Met debut in the title role of Wagner's Tannhäuser, the New York Times reported that he "has plenty of Wagnerian power and, rarer, a true tenorial cast to his sound." He has recorded the role with Maestro Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin, a recording which received the Grammy Award in 2003. In 1996 he made his debut as Walther in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at the Bayreuth Festival and has since appeared there as Lohengrin in 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005. His Tristan has previously bowed at the Vienna State Opera and the Berlin State Opera.
Michelle DeYoung was Brangäne in last year's performances of Tristan und Isolde (part of The Met: Live in HD series). She is an alumna of the Met's Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. Among the many roles she has sung here are Venus in Wagner's Tannhäuser, the Shaman in the 2006 world premiere of Tan Dun's The First Emperor (also seen as part of Live in HD), and Fricka in Wagner's Die Walküre.

Md. ethics panel says delegate should not have tried to silence football player
Source: WaPo
By John Wagner, Published: February 4
A Maryland legislative ethics committee has found that a delegate who used his official stationary to try to silence a Baltimore Ravens player who supports same-sex marriage committed a particularly egregious abuse of public resources. But the Joint Committee on Legislative Ethics determined that because Del. Emmett C. Burns Jr. (D-Baltimore County) has already apologized for the episode, there is no need for disciplinary action.
Burns, a longtime opponent of gay nuptials, wrote last year to Steve Bisciotti, owner of the Ravens, asking him to cease and desist the advocacy of linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo, who spoke out for legislation and a subsequent ballot measure to allow same-sex marriage in Maryland.
In a letter to Burns dated Jan. 30, the committee said that under ethics rules, delegates should not use their General Assembly letterhead to advocate for or against ballot measures.
Your use of official General Assembly letterhead to pressure the employer of a citizen of Maryland to suppress the citizens right of free speech was a particularly egregious abuse of public resources, the committee told Burns in the letter, which was obtained by The Washington Post.

I'm sorry that they decided since Burns had apologized, nothing further was needed. In my opinion Burns should have been censured for trying to overawe and silence Brendon Ayanbadejo with his position as a MD state delegate. Fortunately Steve Bisciotti didn't bite.

He should have been censored, but at least he was rebuked. Seems anyone can do anything and then say "I'm sorry" and go on about their rat killing. I'm sick of these jerks, vote 'em out!!!

Rodarte for The Zoe Report is a limited edition collection of apparel and jewelry designed by Kate and Laura Mulleavy, exclusively for Rachel Zoe's The Zoe Report.
"The Zoe Report readers are fashion obsessed and very eager to have a piece of glamour and to have a piece of the fashion world," Zoe told Style.com.
Zoe also spoke to the publication about Rodarte's knack for athleisure-wear that stems from their L.A. roots.
"I mean, Karl Lagerfeld just put sneakers on the runway of his couture show," Zoe noted.
"I think that just broke down walls we never thought could be broken."
Zoe took to social media to share her excitement.
"So honored and excited to have worked with my friends Kate & Laura Mulleavy on this exclusive collection for @thezoereport...it's available to shop now at shop.thezoereport.com!! xoRZ #RODARTExTZR"
The capsule collection features Rodarte's iconic t-shirts and sweatshirts designed for the first time with metallic screens and whimsical crystal-and-butterfly jewelry adapted from the fall 2014 runway, as The Zoe Report highlights.
Kate and Laura spoke to Style.com about the opportunity to work with Zoe, whom they have a years-long friendship with.
"We are all working in Los Angeles, and so it's really hard for us to remember a time, at this point, when we haven't known Rachel."
The duo also added on how this collaboration allowed them to think beyond the runway.
"We love the idea of great design."
"Design can be a specialized couture item, but it can also be powerful with something as simple and wearable as a t-shirt."
Prices range from $113 for a t-shirt to $154 for a sweatshirt to $299 for a handmade Swarovski necklace, which the design duo commented on to The Zoe Report.
"We love the idea of wearing the crystal pieces backwards, with the chain dangling in the front."
Take a look at how the Rachel Zoe Studio styled pieces from the capsule collection on model Sidney Williams, and let us know your thoughts on Rodarte for The Zoe Report.

A great weekend cruise: Majesty of the Seas Cruise Review by komich
Overall Member Rating
A great weekend cruise
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
1 boarding and disembarkation was as seamless as it could be. No lines to wait in, no hassle with waiting in a lounge before going off the ship. A great improvement from last time and most other ships was that we did not have to carry and put on floatation vests during the mandatory drill.
2 the crew was unusually young, with a 30 year old captain and a cruise director who was More about the same age. The captain night reception was fun, a lot of jokes and humor, really a performance rather than a dull introductions that you often get on other ships.
3 the food was good. The buffet had everything you get for breakfast at a 4 star hotel, lunch was also quite decent, nothing extravagant but fine. For a longer cruise one might get bored with the selection of food, but for three days OK. Dining room food and service were great. Very friendly wait staff, bar tenders, really pleasurable experience.
4 entertainment was good. One night there was a comedian who was funny, next night there was a quite decent Motown concert, followed by the same comedian in adult show. Great performers in bars, an old hippy playing guitar and singing 1970s oldies in the 14 deck lounge, and the pianist / guitar player in the Schooner bar were terrific. The latter one commanded a huge crowd of dancers till after midnight, a lot of fun, we loved it and I don' remember when I had so much fun dancing and watching others to be so relaxed and enjoying themselves.
5 few things were quite annoying. First this ridiculous rule that you have to "rent" towels and get fined $25 if you don't bring it back. Worse still was that after coming back from shore you had to go to deck 11 to check in the towels, while it would be so easy to do it on the gangway, or even leave it on shore at the Coco Cay private island. This is real bad, a total disrespect to the guests. A cruise line that calls itself Royal Caribbean this is a completely unroyal treatment. There is no need to punish passengers because of very a few guests who may abuse towels. The whole thing is cheap and demeans the reputation of otherwise a very good cruise line.
6 there is no sauna in the gym, which may be OK since this is an old ship. There is a steam room but it is very small, 3 persons max, and is intermittently cool to lukewarm. There is no way to control either the temperature or the time cycle that it goes through at it own will.
7 shore excursions were disorganized and the list showed wrong times of departure. We've booked a 12 pm snorkeling tour in Nassau, only to find out that it has left at 8:30 am and there is no other one.
8 another negative experience was the tip policy. In the past on most ships the custom was to hand tips in envelopes to cabin attendant, waiters, head waiters, and staff, which was rally awkward and ruined the experience of dealing with these nice people. It was a great relief when most cruise lines including RC started charging standard tips on the onboard account. This was what we have expected this time, but last day before going for the last dinner we have found envelopes and a form that we were supposed to fill out the day before and bring to the front desk and get vouchers that we were supposed to put in envelopes and give to the staff. This completely defeats the purpose of doing it through the onboard account. As a result we have got no vouchers, and had to tell the waiters that we have put them on the form, but have no vouchers. A totally unnecessary thing. I wish RC revises their procedure as it is quite unpleasant for both parties involved.
Overall, we liked the cruise, and would recommend it to friends. Less

I married into a family that goes camping together on a regular basis. Planning the trips has gotten a little more complicated as we've all started popping out kids, but that doesn't mean that we still don't always have a great time! I have to say, one of the best things about camping with my in-laws are the AMAZING meals that get whipped up. For some of the meals we use a camping stove (like this one) but some of the best meals come out of our cast iron dutch ovens! Dutch ovens offer so much variety and everything that comes out of them seems to magically taste better than when cooking with a regular old pot. The awesome thing is you don't have to be camping to have great dutch oven meals! With these great products from Amazon, backyard dutch oven cooking is easy!

The Sybarite had received several shots below her water-line, and the Red Galleon had her tree cut in two.
A Sybarite in every taste, he has invented a little philosophy of his own.
The Sybarite seemed unnecessarily large for a pleasure boat.
The Athenian bowed, and the Sybarite returned to his philosophy.
Altogether the library gave evidence of a refined taste, and was a cross between a monkish cell and a Sybarite's bower.
With all her devotion she was something of a Sybarite and liked repose.
On the seventh day the course pricked on the chart placed the Sybarite's position at noon as approximately in mid-Atlantic.
Without the immorality, we had the very atmosphere of a Sybarite indulgence.
"Sybarite," she murmured, glancing around at his arrangements for complete comfort.
It is the Spartan, not the Sybarite, who is capable of heroic deeds.
"person devoted to pleasure," 1610s (implied in Sybaritical), literally "inhabitant of Sybaris," ancient Greek town in southern Italy, whose people were noted for their love of luxury. From Latin Sybarita, from Greek Sybarites.

We have tried pinging eBay Australia website using our server and the website returned the above results. If ebay.com.au is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress...
If the site is UP but you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:
Browser Related Problems
Force a full refresh for the site. This can be achieved by pressing CTRL + F5 keys at the same time on your favourite browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)
Clear the temporary cache and cookies on your browser to make sure that you have the most recent version of the web page. For instructions choose your browser :
Fix DNS Problems
A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.
Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
Check our help page for step-by-step instructions on how to change your DNS.
can't connectto Ebay Australia, I can on my Android but not showing any pictures or photos GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
CRAP I ONLY GET EBAY USA AND OTHERS BUT EBAY AUSTRALIA .PAGE NOT RESPONDING done chaecks its there but will no longer load something is wronge with there site and no way to contact them . may be the new world order has started in australia ? lol
Cannot acces my summary
I have listings to look at here in Australia & 'unable to find page keeps popping up'. SO EBAY IS DEFINATELY DOWN. 06 June 2016
Site appears to be up. However when trying to Sell an Item I get following message: Page not responding. The eBay page or feature you are attempting to access is not responding.
Please try the options below:
Try to access the feature directly from the eBay Home Page, instead of using a bookmark.
Wait a few minutes and try to access the feature again.
If you have waited ten to fifteen minutes and you still can't access your page:
Check our Announcement Board to see if the feature is currently unavailable.
If what you are looking for is unavailable, you may still be able to access other parts of the site from the eBay Home page
The website might be 'up' but its not responding. Many attempts to login have failed. I even sent a password reset email and it has not been responded. So, we could say that ebay is 'not' working.
Won't go to My Ebay Summary page, only showing "Orders" also says "I have no watched items" which is incorrect!!
Can't sign in grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Can sometimes sign into my ebay account, but every time i try to list an item to sell, it takes me bck to sign in screen again.
abkle to go on site and browse somewhat but not functional. Might have to do with the paris bombings since all ebay sites are interconnected, and since France is in Lockdown, it may be related, not sure, just speculating. On another note, please try to be understanding to the sellers as they have not access to sales etc or messages. Enjoy your weekend people. p.s. this is affecting me as well, as a buyer. Items purchased history, cart, unable to add to it etc.
Ebay.com.au. cant sign in with ebay app. Can't complete listings. Looks like not many will be able to purchase or list any items or very few at the best. Would be great if ebay Australia would give an update on the issue or problem. Why not check out my listings when its back up. Look for GTC Phone Cases. Unique and specialized phone cases for iphone 6.
maybe seller does not sell/ ship to your country or state? Try message the seller and ask if they can relist what you are trying to buy maybe. Also some sellers can block certain buyers. Not sure what might be happening with that one. Best of luck.
when will ebay australia be fixed and will i get my watch list back and purchase list back
Sorry, we couldn't complete your request. Try again later. Not working.
Cannot see messages or notifications or reply to anything. 10.10pm Vic
Sorry, we couldn't complete your request. Try again later.
This is all I am able to find on ebay . . . def not working 9.45pm Vic
Australia EBAY; Had problem signing in for last hour, now able to sign in but cannot buy anything, all listings replied as invalid.
Can't access any pages and recent buyers can't pay. The King has us by the balls again!
Seems like authentication issue can't login with user profile for last 1 hour
Oh well guys - you'll just have to try talking to each other for a change rather than trying to bring a blank screen to life!
I think it used to be called "conversation", remember those days? :)
This site (http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ebay.com.au.html) says it's "UP" - but it certainly isn't!
Messages lost, not sent and cannot recover!
I think they are right that the problem comes from the ISP. I am using internet data from my mobile and everything is working. Just FYI ISP is iinet and mobile internet is with Telstra.
its been hours, i cant access my page, store or view mwssages.
Shame eBay. Thumbs down....
It's been more than 9 hrs since the problem occured. Really eBay, it takes those hours? Fortunately I still can print invoice and mark purchases as posted on my mobile but I can't send messages and can't do many things, I can't even open Help & Contact. It totaly did not work on my PC.
so if i can't send my parcels out within the one day handling because i can't get on the site because my log in times out, who's going to give a sh*t if i get low DSR's for it? God i hate ebay! When will Amazon come to Australia and kick ebay is the ass?
couldnt pay for an item earlier and now i cant do anything, page keeps timing out
Cant access my buyers info to put tracking numbers up..... cant relist any of my listings...circle just keeps spinning on home page...
managed to contact ebay about issues and they are aware of problems and are trying to fix them
2.05pm Wednesday in Adelaide and still cannot connect with eBay I AM NOT HAPPY EBAY.....NOT HAPPY a whole day wasted because of YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ebay down for me. Customers getting grumpy and no way to contact Ebay to tell them. Just times out??
Can not get eBay at all zero finito I thought this was the modern age in a very advanced country. Oh I forgot it's getting filled up with the unadvanced...................bet centrelink is up and running!
not loading anything except for homepage, phone app doesnt seem to work either
Ebay appears to be down. Have used several browsers but not functioning to full capacity
Either getting service down or cannot load page notices when trying to access my.ebay.com.au.
Ebay is down - i am very surprised that Ebay of all websites is down
ebay.com.au server is down first time this has ever happened to me in 10 years
Service Unavailable - DNS failure
The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later.

Have logged a complaint with EBay about unable to reach their website. They have started some action. Gees, hard to find a phone number for them!
Have items on eBay AU for sale and I can't access their website. Had to go through eBay.com to access my account. eBay Global appears to be OK.
eBay.au unreachable. Cleared cache. Still hopeless.
Unable to access eBay AU since last night on 2 PCs tried IE, Chrome & Safari is it a problem only in Windows7?, it works ok on my iPad on the same network
Telstra broadband in Cooloola Cove Qld. Ebay down. everything else OK but ebay connect page times out.
unable to access www, ebay, com.au from Australia, using telstra and google chrome
eBay Australia is down for me - 7pm Gold Coast Australia. The eBay app (android) is working fine.
Yes there is a problem with ebay Australia. The terraconectivity bandwidth has been compromised. The dikweigh is being replaced
Cannot log onto ebay australia at all for the last hour, is there a problem?
eBay.com.au has been a intermit problem being on and off all day today, very annoying.
ebay australia always return error 503 service unavailable for weeks now
It's not down... but it IS acting weird... my buyer invoices are going out in a foreign language, measurement options are in inches not centimetres... wtf
email/username not valid - however I am still getting emails from eBay to that email addy. No response from technical support
Down here in Riverview Qld at the moment. Same issue, ID and Password not working. On the phone waiting?
Still down in NSW near Parramatta. Page comes up but unable to log in.
Wont let me complete a listing, or revise any items that I'm selling. Keeps bringing me to the log in screen over and over again. This has happened many times in the past as well! Very inconvenient.
Still down in NSW. Temporarily worked and then again it is dysfunctional. Is anyone else having problems with other sites since this issue?
iPhone App went down a few hours ago, as of now have very limited aka useless access to my account and keep being logged out in any case. I had a listing that was closing in the middle of this total mess.
Seems to work on Firefox, but keeps signing me out on the iphone... :S
Limited access via community.ebay.com/
I won an item this afternoon, no email to advise that I won, cant get in on PC or Phone wanted to pay for item - will have to try again later grrrr 8.25pm Victoria
Cant open ebay australia keeps going back to login screen with USA info before https
I managed to sign into my account via http://community.ebay.com/ but it's still very buggy and drops out a lot. Very frustrating, it's making me have to get a life ;-)
this site is showing ebay is up and running again, no not properly, you cannot see any item description on any items, not even my own ones I have listed. You still cannot ring them at all, as I need to speak to them urgently about a dishonest buyer who never paid..
Can't sign in at all, in WA here. On my phone it reckons that I have a network error. Pfft.
Rang ebay about 6 pm, they had computer generated voice saying, we are having tech issues, should be up about 6 pm EST, that was over 2 hours ago, it is now 8.07 pm. So looks like we shall just have to wait for them to fix as usual what was not broken. Glad I am not selling or wanting to buy tonight, but have items listed to go off on Monday evening, hope same issues are not on this coming Monday. I feel for all who are selling or wanting to bid tonight, this is why it is always good to place a max bid onto something prior to item going off, this way you cannot miss an auction, like this issues, electrical power cuts ect
Lost three hours of work when all this started when the server trashed my saved draft and reverted to an older one. Thanks for nothing guys.
thought it was just me - changed password too, but keeps telling me login is incorrect :(
eBay.com.au is experiencing intermittent issues following complications during routine maintenance. We are working to resolve the matter promptly and regret any inconvenience.
Still not working. Got on their briefly and into My Ebay but once again asking me to sign in over and over again when I try to contact a seller. Just tried again and got the HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.
really upset with ebay.com.au poor effort by them they just cost me money I think I might go to gumtree from now on
been trying to access my account for an hour as im selling my car WTF
down, is reporting incorrect username / password to saved details :(
Same internal server errors here for two of us in Tassie since about 4:30pm and still a problem now at 7:30pm.
Down for me too. Allows me to sign into My Ebay, but when I try to contact a seller re an item not received it just keeps telling me to sign in over and over and then comes back saying my user ID/email/password is incorrect which is bullsh!t because I'm already signed in and I know it's right. I figure, what the hell, and follow the link to change my password and then the server times out/says it's not responding etc. I tried it at work as well on a completely different connection and server and the same thing happened.
Yep down for me still in sydney, I thought it was a virus, changed password same thing.
Re:Already telephoned their 1 800 088 741 or 02 8288 0199 and they have a message advising they will have Ebay Australia back up by 6pm AEST ...

Already telephoned their 1 800 088 741 or 02 8288 0199 and they have a message advising they will have Ebay Australia back up by 6pm AEST

Ebay.com.au is down. If you try and log in on ebay mobile app it says 'ebay servers are down, please try again later.'
on my laptop i can get in but no info on bidding history also no access via my tablet or phone apps.
Damn it, I have atleast 5 things due to finish in this time period... does ebay delay the end time when it is down?
Yep, in Perth getting the same internal errors aswell. Oh well, can't work, better go to the pub!
It logs in but has an error on my.ebay saying that not all my information is available. I also can't do searches.
All I get is internal server errors or item/store no longer exists... GAH FIX IT!
Ebay is down from Adelaide too. Both ebay.com and ebay.com.au.
Plus ebay service chat is down too. Say it is no in business hours. 4:41PM local time.
It's logged me out and I can't get back in - every item I view is not available
Ebay is giving internal server errors and every item, appears to no longer exist
Ebay au. useless at present, photos of sale items not loading correctly for last two days!
Driving me crazy! I have uploaded photos 3 times then it goes to log in page and nothing!
Have not been able to connect with ebay Aust for some months now. As they have no support is there any way to get back on
keeps saying ebay.au is an invalid page even when i click on the google link... it just goes round in circles redirecting me to the same faulty page. refreshing does the same... been a big problem for me since beginning of may. once it sent me to us ebay but even that does not seem to be displaying correctly -all the format had gone loopy- hyperlinks and text overlapping at the top of the page and the item's pictures were not even visable.
cant sign in, cant buy anything, cant ask questions. What to do?
Error message: This page can't be displayed
•Make sure the web address https://signin.ebay.com.au is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.
•Make sure TLS and SSL protocols are enabled. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Settings > Security
It really is the most woeful website. Non-intuitive, bug-ridden, every browser type sees a different version (chromium gets the worst version). Why the heck don't they spend some of the umpteen billion dollars to improve it?!?

Home Telepresence Product Delivers Amazingly Clear and Lifelike Video Get-Togethers Through Existing HD Televisions
SAN JOSE, Calif, October 6, 2010 – Cisco today introduced Cisco ūmi™ telepresence,/, a first-of-its-kind consumer product that brings family and friends together in HD video, whether they are around the corner or across the country. Cisco ūmi connects to an existing HD television and a broadband internet connection to create a video communications experience that is so clear, natural and lifelike, that users will see and hear their loved ones, right down to the twinkle in their eyes and the tone of their voices, as if they were in the same room
Cisco ūmi, which includes an HD camera, a console and a remote, takes advantage of Cisco's heritage in business telepresence, to deliver an immersive video experience that fits into every home, automatically adjusting to lighting conditions and various room sizes to provide superior video and audio performance.
Once Cisco ūmi is connected to an HD television and a wired or wireless broadband connection, a remote control provides access to an on-screen user interface, through which users can make ūmi calls, access video messages, manage contacts, and customize their profile and settings. Users can also record their own ūmi videos, which they can share on Facebook™, on YouTube™, or via email. Users can even keep in touch with people who don't have ūmi by placing and receiving video calls from any computer with a webcam and Google video chat.
"Cisco is bringing people together, driving new video experiences that change the way we communicate, connect, and enjoy entertainment – in the home, at work, and on the go," said John Chambers, chairman and CEO of Cisco. "Cisco ūmi will bring the unique telepresence experience into living rooms and change the way we are able to be together with family and friends. We envision a future where technologies like this will play a role in connecting consumers with businesses to enable the delivery of new services, ranging from education, to health care, to financial services – to the home."
"Cisco ūmi is the ultimate way to capture the simple joys of being together with our distant friends and loved ones, whether they are around the corner or across the country," said Marthin De Beer, senior vice president of Cisco's emerging technologies business group. "From singing happy birthday every year to reading bedtime stories every night, ūmi lets friends and families experience life's special moments together."
Cisco is also working with Verizon to bring the ūmi experience to Verizon FiOS customers early next year. The two companies have been conducting successful trials of Cisco ūmi over Verizon's 100 percent fiber-optic network, which delivers what a 2010 PCMAG.COM reader's survey rated the fastest Internet speeds in the United States.
"Verizon's high-IQ networks are incredible incubators of innovation that connect our customers to the things and the people they care about, how and when they want," said Eric Bruno, vice president, of consumer product management at Verizon. "We plan to be the first service provider to offer Cisco ūmi to our customers, delivering an amazingly clear and lifelike experience that brings family and friends into your living room."
Cisco is working with Best Buy to bring the Cisco ūmi experience to Magnolia Home Theatre stores this holiday season. Within Magnolia Home Theatre stores, consumers will be able to experience Cisco ūmi, get expert advice on the product and required broadband, as well as purchase Cisco ūmi, with installation and support provide by The Geek Squad.

The Herald Sun's Roger Franklin observes illicit RuddFest activity:
Why was besieged Age editor Andrew Jaspan, who withdrew as a delegate, scuttling about the floor, where the press was banned?
Makes sense to me; it's not as though Jaspan is a journalist. The Great Gathering's saddest aspect was Tim Flannery's non-appearance, which denied us a furious battle of agreement:
Leading environmentalist Tim Flannery will go head-to-head with Ross Garnaut, author of the government's Garnault Review on climate change.
Whoa! Talk about conflict.

The camera always seems to love her, and yesterday (July 18) Freida Pinto was spotted leaving a photo shoot in Malibu, California.
The "Slumdog Millionaire" actress was smiling from ear to ear as she exited the American Vogue session, sporting a white and red summer dress with sunglasses.
Of her "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" costar James Franco, Miss Pinto recently told press she was taken aback by his acting style.
"He's got his own unique and distinctive style of acting. It's not conventional at all. It does take you by surprise initially, but it's all about being flexible and trying to understand how another actor works. I found a lot of things in his acting style that I could pick up and learn from."
Enjoy the pictures of Freida Pinto out for an American Vogue photo shoot in Malibu (July 18).

The Loans Standard Model of Credit Money
The Loans Standard (LS) model is an example of a credit monetary system. The LS model encapsulates the credit money characteristics which have been identified in the present monetary system, but abstracts away from other aspects such as commodity and fiat money. In the resulting purely credit monetary model, the implications for interest rates, monetary inflation and the structure of monetary institutions are explored. The LS model can be used to help clarify some of the endogenous credit money issues raised by Moore, Wray, Minsky and others.

President Obama saved 1,000 jobs by embracing a protectionist policy on tires.
The FN has become a protectionist, anticapitalist party of the dislocated working classes.
Then there is always Congress, threatening a rash of protectionist bills directed solely at China.
Thus was formed the protectionist party, strictly so called.
Yet in the protectionist dispensation, this has become an article of faith.
This argument is constantly recurring in all writings of the protectionist school.
It was protectionist so long as it suited its purpose to be so.
But the difficulty of his position lay in his having been brought into power as a protectionist.
As to himself he had never been and was not now "a protectionist."
My excuse is that the spirit of the protectionist breathes in almost every page he has written.
in the economics sense, 1841, from French protectionniste (in political economy sense, protection is attested from 1789). As an adjective by 1843.
1846, from protectionist + -ism.

The heart is one of the most miraculous "machines" ever devised. It is capable of operating, non-stop, for many, many decades.
Before we discuss canine congestive heart failure, let's first discuss how a mammalian heart works. The heart is a pump that is responsible for moving blood through the network of blood vessels found in the body. It is actually two pumps, one on the right side and one on the left. The right side of the heart is a smaller, lower pressure pump that receives blood from the body and delivers it to the lungs where the blood gives up carbon dioxide and is replenished with oxygen. The left side of the heart is a larger, more muscular pump and operates at a much higher pressure. It receives the oxygenated blood from the lungs and delivers it back to the body. This cycle continues non-stop during life.
Each pump contains two chambers. The first chamber, called the atrium, is a staging area for the main pumping chamber called the ventricle. These chambers are separated by a valve that prevents the back-flow of blood during contraction of the ventricle. Additional valves are found in the vessels that carry the blood out of the ventricles. These valves also prevent the back-flow of blood.
The strength and speed of the heart's beat can be influenced by many factors including exercise, mental status and disease conditions.
What is congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart is no longer able to pump blood to the lungs and/or body at the designed volume and pressure.
When the output of blood from the heart is decreased, the relative amount of blood entering the heart is increased. This increase in blood upstream from the heart changes the balance of fluid pressures in the upstream blood vessels and surrounding tissues. When these pressures are increased, blood fluids leave the vessels and congest the surrounding tissues.
What causes congestive heart failure?
For this article, we will concentrate on the two most common causes of CHF in dogs: Degenerative valvular disease (DVD) and Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
Degenerative valvular disease is a condition that reduces the ability of the heart valves to prevent the back-flow of blood during ventricular contraction. In dogs, the valve found between the left atrium and left ventricle (the mitral valve or left atrial-ventricular valve) is most commonly involved. When it is, it is called mitral valve disease (MVD). The cause of MVD is unknown.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a progressive enlargement of the chamber within the ventricle, with a steady loss in the strength of the ventricular contraction. DCM is separated into the sub-clinical or occult phase and the overt clinical phase. In the occult phase the ventricles' ability to pump blood is diminishing. However, there are no outward clinical signs of heart disease. As the strength of the ventricle to contract is reduced, the amount of blood exiting the heart is reduced. This reduced out-flow from the heart increases the volume of blood upstream, leading to congestion. Dogs with DCM typically progress from the occult stage to the overt-clinical stage. The cause of DCM is often times unknown.
In the early stages of congestive heart failure, the dog's body is able to compensate for a lower output of blood from the heart. Blood vessels in the body constrict increasing the resistance to blood flow, the heart rate will be elevated, and a mechanism will be activated that causes the dog's body to retain sodium and water. These three factors lead to an increase in blood pressure which helps to maintain normal blood circulation. Eventually this increase in blood pressure can lead to an accumulation of fluid in tissues and body cavities. In the case of a decrease in output on the left side of the heart, the fluid will accumulate in the lungs. This condition is called pulmonary edema. If this occurs on the right side, there will be congestion in the abdomen or other body spaces.
Who gets CHF?
Mitral valve disease is seen primarily in elderly, small breed dogs.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is seen most commonly in adult large breed dogs, particularly the Doberman Pinscher, Irish Wolfhound, Scottish Deerhound and Great Dane.
What are the symptoms of CHF?
Whether CHF is caused by MVD or DCM, the symptoms are very similar. As the dog's heart pumps blood with a leaky valve or a weakened ventricular wall, its ability to deliver blood efficiently to the body is reduced. In either case, the symptoms are progressive. Common symptoms of CHF include:
How is CHF diagnosed?
A diagnosis of CHF is based observing the following:
Especially with mitral valve disease, the veterinarian will almost always hear a heart murmur. Crackles in the lungs may also be heard if pulmonary edema is present. Radiographs of the chest may reveal an enlarged heart and congestion of the lungs. Electrocardiography may be used to evaluate the strength and regularity of the heart's beat. An echocardiogram may be used to evaluate the size of the heart and the strength of the beat.
How is CHF Treated?
Since CHF most often results from a physical change in the heart (a poorly functioning valve or a weakened ventricular wall) and is progressive, treatment involves certain medications and centers on relieving the symptoms.
Medications can be administered to:
At this point in time, there are no practical surgical alternatives to these heart conditions.
What is the prognosis for a dog with CHF?
The prognosis for dogs with CHF depends on the cause, severity and their response to treatment. CHF is progressive. The changes to the heart, whether from DCM or MVD, cannot be reversed. We can only manage the symptoms.
Many dogs can survive for over one year after symptoms are discovered.
The prognosis for dogs that have developed DCM is always more guarded.
