Steve Adamyk Band
Forever Won't Wait
US: 15 Nov 2011
UK: 15 Nov 2011
Though separated by 2,500 miles and 33 (!) years, I have no doubt that the rowdy Ottawan foursome who make up the Steve Adamyk Band have worn out more than a few copies of the seminal 1979 Western Canada punk document Vancouver Complication over the years. Firmly indebted to—and raucously celebrating—power pop/punk circa '77-'82, Adamyk and bandmates drummer Dave Williams, guitarist Emmanuel Sayer (all ex-Sedatives) and bassist Davey Quesnelle tear through their second album's 16 tracks with gusto (generously appending the Take It Back EP).
A little tougher in spots than the band's '10 debut—dig the big metal solo on "I Run Wild", the pummeling beat of "Ontario" and the dark thump of "Election Day" (alas, not the Replacements' b-side)—and those tunes offset the classic, pogoing, bright-as-hell guitars of "Take It Back", "Bored of Love" ("I don't wanna say the words that finalize") and nervy—and Nerves-y—"Never Wake Up".
Of course they have excellent record collections, covering the Carbonas, the Dickies and Idle Hands. So yeah, the Steve Adamyk Band are trodding territory the likes of Pointed Sticks, DOA, U-J3RK5 and the Diodes did way back when, or that modern day practitioners like Gentleman Jesse, the White Wires or pretty much anyone who calls Dirtnap or Douchemaster home, are doing today, but Forever Won't Wait is highly recommended to anyone who understood this last sentence.

Hello All,I'm not really great with references, so a friend recommend I ask ppl here for some clarification.I'm Class-A and goin gon course and it would take 2 days to drive my car to the school (800km away). Since I've only been given 1 day of travel on my contract, they're saying I can't drive there. They're saying that I have to use one day of leave to drive my car (so that I have 2 travel days total: 1 allotted and 1 annual leave), but because I haven't "earned" my leave yet, I can't take leave before my course starts.What I don't get is that, I'm Class-A, why do I even need leave? Can't I just start my drive, and be "half-way" to my destination when my contract starts, so I only use "1 day of travel"? I mean, I remember after Christmas one year, I was going on an exercise right after the Christmas holiday, but because I was visiting friends during the Christmas holiday, I wasn't "at home" on my allotted travel day. Where I was was actually closer to where I was going, so my OR just booked me a flight from where I was to the exercise, and then back home after the exercise (Point C to B then Point B to A, instead of Point A to B then Point B to A).If I was RegF or Class-B, I could understand, because you can't get extra time off work just because you want to drive your car. But I'm Class-A, I can be wherever I want when I'm not on contract.What idea a friend of mine gave me was to "go on a trip" somewhere closer to the school, and do like I did at Christmas, and tell my OR that "because of civilian commitments, I will be in location C before my contract starts. Since it's within 500km of the school, can I drive my POMV", and they should say yes? Is this legit? I mean, in theory I could actually need to be somewhere else, like at Christmas.Thanks
Annex A, POMV Travel Waiver: http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/caf-community-benefits/temp-duty-travel-instructions.pageBeen done many, many times before. You're just eligible for cost comparison for most economical means to get you there (usually a plane ticket) and they should be doing a cost comparison sheet to show you all the costs involved.
7.40 — PMV — DRIVER - (2) (Member Requests To Use PMV) Subject to paragraph 7.20(2) (Selection), a member — including a member of the Reserve Force on Class "A" Reserve Service — who requests to use a PMV rather than a more economical and practical mode of transportation selected by the approving authority and who uses that PMV on duty travel is entitled to be reimbursed — for only the first day of travel to the destination...
7.41 — PMV — DRIVER — ADMINISTRATION - (5) (Paid Leave) A member who requests to use a PMV — rather than the more economical and practical mode of transportation selected by the approving authority — and who uses that PMV on duty travel shall take one day's paid leave, after the first day, for every 500 kilometres travelled.
(6) (Paid Leave) If a member — who requests to use a PMV — has insufficient paid leave remaining for any travel in excess of the more economical and practical mode of transportation selected by the approving authority , then the member shall not be authorized to use their PMV as requested.
Note quite. Class-A reservists get kind of screwed in this regard.
He could ask his CO for a short day. This is paid leave!
ooh the wonderful PMV again. maybe this will help, from DCBA in 2013. Some points to note that is not there but I have learned through attending briefing sessions in Ottawa that included DCBA, VAC and TB along with follow on briefings at Bdes and Divs.
Even though a class a mbr can be approved PMV for TD 650 kms or less away it does not mean they travel it in one day without risk. The concept is they would travel up to the 500kms, stop for the night and then complete the trip the next day as you can travel 150kms and still perform a full days work. If the mbr decides to exceed the 500kms they take on a risk if an accident does happen in which they are injured may not be covered by VAC as they do not consider them on duty at that point.
Big note: Travelling via PMV without authority - "not be entitled to any duty travel benefits under the CFTDTIs" means exactly that - you get nothing. No mileage, meals or accms enroute, incidentals and no entitlement to R&Q while there unless local mbrs are ordered into quarters because you have just made yourself a local mbr.
For the concept of "tell them you will be somewhere else closer". Had that scenario and wish I could find the email but the basic answer we received when it was sent up was to book the mbr CA as authorizing the PMV from another location was viewed as an attempt to circumvent the regulations and grant the mbr an unofficial travel day. How about the return - pure coincidence that mbr happened to have business to stop over for on the return leg too?
Special Leave (Relocation) for Reservists proceeding to the new employment location: Reservists proceeding to the new employment location on att posting, course (TD) or on taskings, pursuant to Ref B, the approving authority may approve "Special Leave (Relocation)" which must be taken prior to the member's first duty travel day and/or after the last duty travel day (at location of the member's Reserve unit). Additionally, these days "shall not be reckoned against weekend days or statutory holidays", as stipulated at ref B para 5.11.02. If "Special Leave (Relocation)" is approved by the unit approving authority, then the member would start the Class "B" reserve service effective that date. Units are cautioned that the option of using "Special Leave (Relocation)" has a direct cost associated with it; given the member of the Reserve Force's POS would need to be extended for the extra day(s). If this type of leave is granted, it is imperative that the pertinent POS msg/instruction be amended to account for the extra day(s).
I've probably spent more time discussing, debating, and reading policy and references ad nauseam regarding Travel policy than anything else in the 2 years I've been Adj.
But what about pay? What if a member's travel day is Monday the 1st of May, and they tell us "don't book me a flight, I'm driving, and I know I don't have enough time, I'm going to leave on Sunday and waive all my CFTDTI benefits". Pay isn't a CFTDTI benefit. Do they lose out on pay as well? Further, incidentals IS a CFTDTI benefit. They'll be getting to their new location, say Borden, and staying in shacks, so they should get incidentals. But they lost their travel benefits for that day? Does that include incidentals? The staying in shacks has nothing to do with their actual "travel".
Hey, I don't ask Class-A members what they do in their personal lives or with their civilian occupations. If they tell me "due to personal/civilian occupation commitments, I will be in location X on the morning of the travel day", I will make arrangements for them to travel to their TD location (assuming it's closer and cheaper) from location X.
Highlighted bit: do "Route Letters" count as "pertinent POS msg/instruction"? Because, the reference I have says just to amend the Route Letter, nothing more. The actual message remains unchanged.
Pay they would get for the dates they are on Task/Course not for travel days as they are not entitled to one if travel has not been authorized. They are not entitled to incidentals or staying in the shack either unless the JI's specify local members are ordered to stay in quarters. Remember by driving there on their own without any authority they have now made themselves a local member.
Doesn't seem right, I've had members drive to course and still get full TD....

same problem me to
How would I run VMware toolbox automatically?
Running it automaticlly isn't the problem. VMware won't run at all after the initial installation.
I also thought that VMware tools would run on BT3......
same problem me to
*confused*How would I run VMware toolbox automatically?
Running it automaticlly isn't the problem.
1. CTRL+D ( or VM-> Settings...)
2. Tab Options
3. >Power
4. Run VMware Tools scripts ...
Be sensitive in choosing where you ask your question. You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you:
* post your question to a forum where it's off topic
* post a very elementary question to a forum where advanced technical questions are expected, or vice-versa
* cross-post to too many different newsgroups
* post a personal e-mail to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem
I don't understand the post, are there issues running the vmware-install.pl script in vmware-tools-distrib? Or is it because of an error starting the vmware-toolbox?
If it is vmware-instal.pl giving issues, have you previously downloaded the appropriate kernel headers? Get kernel sources from wiki.remote-exploit.org and extract them to /usr/src/linux/
Once you have the header files you can run vmware-install.pl which will actually build the tools from scratch.
What I mean is that the vmware tools that allow you to smoothly drag items from your desktop to the bt3 desktop (or even just move your mouse in and out of bt3 without using CTR+ALT) don't work when the bt3 OS boots.
Does it need some time to start? Am I too impatient? Or should it be available as soon as the BT3 OS loads?
What exactly are the steps to installing VMWare Tools on/in BackTrack?
I've been running BackTrack distros for several months and have always just dealt with clicking in and out, and Control+Commanding in and out.
I noticed that the virtual machine supplied by the Aircrack-ng team (Aircrack.vmx) has this preinstalled in their download (that or it just works) which is convenient. BackTrack is the only virtual machine that I've had trouble doing this with.
Sorry for having to blatantly ask, but unfortunately, the search function didn't yield much.
Thanks in advance, guys.
Edit: Oiy, my title is "just burned his ISO." How annoying and untrue.
If you have any problems I can take a closer look once I am at home, but the whole process really was quite simple and nothing too involved.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
But yeah, take a look at it when you get the chance. I'd really appreciate it. I'm sure I'm not the first idiot that has seen this and has been dumbfounded by it.
Thanks, =Tron=.
Also, if I end up getting this worked out before that happens, I'll be sure to post my findings for the community.
When I choose "Install VMware Tools" in Fusion I first get a disclaimer stating "Installing the VMware Tools will greatly enhance..." and once I choose install a virtual CD will be mounted. This include two files: manifest.txt and VMwareTools-e.x.p-116369.tar.gz

"Firefighters and other first responders are putting themselves at a serious risk for injury or even death when responding to hybrid and electric car crashes,... The danger comes with the increased size of those vehicles battery packs and becomes potentially deadly for those dealing with wrecked vehicles. Members of SAE International said in a report..." Are our first responders prepared?
Actually Con_Bill, Aerospace Spec and QC makes its automotive counterparts look like a joke. And just because there is system redundancy doesn't mean any system is taken less seriously. At least not among people who are worth a ****. It comes down to the operator and if you build something idiot proof they'll build a better idiot.
Trawl...this is oe area where your opinion may be on track. Aviation quality control is inferior to automotive QA. Many aircraft systems have 2 backups, so the push for zero defects is not nearly as strict as in the automotive. That is my opinion of 40+ years experience supplying parts to both industries.
I figured this would have rotated out by now .... @ Con_Bill, it wouldn't surprise me to learn Boeings fires were caused by flight crew misuse of the system. If the machine (aircraft) will do something Fight Crews (Pilots) are well known for making the machine do that something. In short it wouldn't surprise me to learn the fires were ultimately traced to being operated out of spec. Down here on the ground operating batteries out of specification isn't as much an issue, as charge and discharge are "computer" controlled and if operation that is potentially damaging to the cars batteries is being attempted by the "pilot" the machine can simply turn itself off and the operator walk. Not an option in aviation.
Lancer, Martin always signs his name. The WhizZard posting below is an impostor. Martins posts are much longer and not rambling like the poster below does. It's most likely conservative billy redlegs, he spends his day posting here.
You always have an opinon Whiz and not afraid to speak your mind, so I like reading them even though I don't agree with most of them, it makes it interesting.
Seems as if Boeing is learning of the dangers of lithium ion batteries?
so I am a right winger huh.
Actually I prefer the breast.
should proof read before I hit submit.
I don't have an electric vehicle, so I am probably not going to put the fire fighters in danger. I don't plan to buy one, so what do you want me to say? I have not opinion unless maybe the school district wants to invest in one.
Why, miss me?
they probably don't know how to register with this site again. Martin Fleming is a gentlemen from streetsboro who use to post a lot of opinion's on this site but has vanished since the new site came online.
@ Lancer: I don't know who martin fleming is, but many of the Crazy Right Wingers seem to have evaporated or changed their names on November 6 ~ 7. Just another indication of how the Right Wing is polluted with cowards.
Want I want to know is where are all the martin fleming posts since the new recordpub website was launched?
Trawl is a critical thinker Billy, you should sit up straight and pay attention.
trawl...exactly....provide the training and adopt SAE standards.
ug, some neanderthals have same anxiety with first fire
Mayhaps this anxiety over electric vehicles could be reduced with education and learning electricity isn't magic. ? That electricity isn't a Mystical Force?
At one time there was a new technology called "air bags", effectively explosive devices in steering wheels. Air bags were (and are) pretty dangerous. The technology was adopted and refined and now some vehicles have half a dozen or more air bags of one form or another. First responders learned to work around air bags, I suspect it will be the same with electric vehicles. If you care at all about First Responders there will be no crying over the financing of their training in dealing with the hazards of their job, electric vehicles being only one of these hazards.
Interesting that today's story on Boeing 787 battery problem references same problem with chevy volt crash fires...
tagg...you are so biased you can't open your brain to see potential hazzards. Electric vehicles pose a potential hazzard to first responders as noted by the SAE. The SAE further considered the threat serious enough to publish the study and then follow-up with a new SAE standard to help protect first responoders. All new technology passes through a learning curve. The Shewhart cycle of plan-do-check-act and repeat again and agian is how improvements are made and the technolgy addresses unforseen problems and concrerns. I am sure the proponents of electric vehicles did not intend for first responders to be exposed to leathal shock...hence unintended consequence!
By the way, auto mechanics are more likely to be shocked by electric vehicles. Especially your backyard mechanic. This has been known for years, ask a certified mechanic if you doubt me. Progress Bill, come on, try to keep up.
Chicken Little Conservative always yelling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling. Squeeze that Teddy tight Billy. It's a scary world out here.
Furthermore the SAE is recommendig standards be adopted that would alert 1st responders when they are dealing with a potential electric shock hazzard vehicle.
SAE is the Society of Automotive Engineers. It is their report. If you know of an EMT or 1st repsonder you would be concerned too. Do a little fact checking before you hurl insults just to blow smoke around a real concern.
TaggR, I suspect Schmidt found the "electric/hybrid cars are Oooo Dangerous" pap at Dick Armeys TeaBagger FreedomWorks which links to the original story on a UK Scandal Sheet. Generalized fear is one of the tools used to control their masses. Not to totally dismiss the added concerns of battery powered vehicles, in the big picture these concerns are just another thing. If people don't like progress they best grab their Teddy Bear and hide under the bed.
How about some actual facts Billy? Electric cars have been around awhile. Surely you have frightening incidents to report to back up your claim? I can provide all sorts of incidents of explosions due to gas fueled cars. I would really like to hear about the incidents involving electric cars? Do you claim to be a conservative? Just asking because conservatives love using scare tactics and that is obviously what you are trying to do, spread fear.

At the most basic level, the job of a parliamentarian is not to obfuscate, self-aggrandise or intrigue against their colleagues. No, the bottom line for MPs is to vote.

There's a few interesting bills up this week, including the recent state budget and another one establishing an independent speed camera tsar.

I am Honest, Loyal, and Hilarious
making pancakes
telling rambling stories that go nowhere
singing in the shower
I usually go for non fiction, psychology books are interesting, biographies always have a little extra to them because the stories are usually really interesting but they have a little extra spice to them because you know the stories really happened. I am currently reading kathy griffins biography, highly recommend, recently read my horizontal life by chelsea lately, hilarious.
I will watch pretty much anything once, I like really bad movies because its fun to watch them with friends and make fun of how horrible they are. Comedy is probably my biggest genre, I like action, scifi, fantasy, horror, or just low budget shlok.
I'm more of a rock guy but I like at least a little of everything, I can talk about music all day. Some favorite bands are the gorillaz, hot chip, kings of leon, and I'm not talking about sex on fire kings of leon, mgmt, nirvana, peaches, tool, I could go on all day.
I'm american so anything greasy in large portions is appealing to me. But I'm pretty good at following a recipe and can cook a pretty decent meal. Love going out and trying the weirdest sounding thing on the menu.

A 1932 painting by Pablo Picasso of his muse and mistress has sold for $106.5 million, the highest ever for a work of art at auction, the Associated Press reports.
Eight clients were bidding for Nude, Green Leaves and Bust for nine minutes Tuesday evening, with the final two dueling at $88 million until it went for $95 million, with the buyer's premium bringing the total to$106.5 million.
The unidentified buyer bid by telephone in the Christie's auction in New York.
The 5-foot by 4-foot painting shows the reclining nude figure of Marie-Therese Walter with an image of Picasso in the background looking over her.
The previous record for a work of art at auction was $104.3 million for "Walking Man I," a sculpture by Alberto Giacometti sold in February in London, the AP says.

Microbial inoculants are becoming more available as sustainable alternatives to fertilizers and other agrichemicals in broad-acre cropping. However, with the exception of legume inoculants little is understood about effective delivery and survival of the inoculum. Legume inoculants are applied to both seed and soil but seed inoculation is the most economical technique. Large quantities of pasture seed in Australia are inoculated by commercial seed coating companies, but the long-term survival of seed-applied inoculum is variable and monitoring of viability requires specialist microbiology skills and facilities. The aim of our research was to define optimum storage conditions for survival of rhizobia on legume seed and evaluate water activity as a means of monitoring shelf-life. The relationship between survival and water activity varied according to seed species, inoculum preparation, coating ingredients, initial water activity and time suggesting that storage conditions would need to be defined for each different combination. Although drying seeds after coating significantly reduced viable numbers of rhizobia, survival of rhizobia on dried commercially coated lucerne seed after 11 weeks was less variable than seeds that had not been dried. The highest numbers were maintained when seeds remained dry with water activities of between 0.47 and 0.38. The quality of inoculated seed could be improved by reducing the death rate of inoculum during preparation and providing optimum storage conditions for long-term survival.
Interest in application of microorganisms to agricultural crops and pastures as a means of supplying a sustainable source of nutrients, increasing nutrient-use efficiency or controlling disease has increased in recent years. Culture collections hold many thousands of potentially beneficial microorganisms but very little attention has been given to their commercial formulation or large-scale application to broad-acre crops [
The aim of legume inoculation is to provide high numbers of viable effective rhizobia to the rhizosphere to allow rapid colonization, nodulation and nitrogen fixation by the selected inoculant strain in order to maximize legume yield potential [
Inoculants may be introduced to either the seed or directly to soil. However, soil application requires large volumes of inoculant for adequate distribution of rhizobia so inoculation of legume seed is a more economical way of introducing rhizobia to the rhizosphere. Seed inoculation by commercial seed coaters, either on demand after sale of the seed (custom inoculation) or prior to sale (pre-inoculation), provides farmers with a convenient ready-to-use product. Application of inoculant by commercial seed coaters also has the potential to improve the reliability of inoculated seed quality by allowing for better control and standardisation of coating methods. However, problems facing the seed coating industry are poor survival of the inoculant rhizobia, particularly on clover seed where surveys have indicated that numbers rarely satisfy numerical standards [
Viable cell numbers of all rhizobia decline on seed but the rate of decline is dependent on environmental conditions and varies between rhizobial species and strains [
Factors affecting survival of rhizobia during commercial inoculation of legume pasture seed.
Survival is affected by the initial condition of the cells in the inoculant, particularly the moisture status, age, purity, the initial number, the strain and the type of inoculant [
Optimum long-term storage conditions for rhizobial survival on inoculated seed are not well defined. As with inoculants, it is assumed that temperature and moisture status is important for rhizobial viability over time [
Rhizobial viability on seed is usually determined by dilution plate counting or plant infection methods. While counting viable cells is the most direct method of determining the microbiological quality of inoculated seed, the methods are time consuming and require specialist expertise and facilities. There is a need for the development of techniques for rapid measurement of the microbiological quality of inoculated seed that may be easily adopted by the seed coating industry.
Water activity is defined as the energy status or availability of water and is affected by colligative properties of dissolved solutes and capillary and surface interactions with solid matrices. It is measured as the vapour pressure above a sample relative to the vapour pressure above pure water and this varies with changes in temperature. The water activity of processed food is regularly monitored to detect conditions that may support the growth of food spoilage organisms and thus to determine shelf-life [
The relationship between water activity and survival at constant temperature varied according to seed species, polymer and time (
Viable number of
Seeds coated with the GL05-oil blend equilibrated to relative humidity conditions faster than the seeds treated with GL05. Seeds stored at the lowest relative humidity reached water activities of less than 0.4 after 24 h, whereas the water activities of seeds coated with GL05 were all greater than 0.4 after 24 h. Oil may be acting as a plasticizer in this case, reducing the glass transition temperature of GL05, which would increase the rate of water loss. This increased rate of dehydration and change in glass transition properties of GL05 may have contributed to the reduced overall survival of TA1 after application with the GL05-oil blend (average percent survival from 24 h to 1 week = 36.5% and from 24 h to 2 weeks = 11.6%) compared with GL05 over the two week period (average percent survival from 24 h to 1 week = 51.8% and from 24 h to 2 weeks = 29.6%). Survival of rhizobia is improved when the rate of dehydration and rehydration is slow [
The relationship between water activity and survival of TA1 on seeds of white clover (
Survival of suspended YMA-grown colonies of TA1 on subterranean clover after application with polyvinyl acetate latex was more affected by low water activity than the other treatments (
The relationship between water activity and survival may be useful in determining favourable storage conditions for inoculated seeds. While TA1 survived well on clover seed with high water activities, storage of seeds with high water activity is not practical. High water activities (above 0.7) may encourage the growth of contaminants and there is less flexibility of temperature for storage. The atmosphere inside a sealed packet of seeds with a water activity of 0.9 at 15 °C would reach dew point with a decrease in temperature of approximately 2–3 °C [

No contaminants were observed on samples from seed company 1. Poor survival was possibly due to low initial numbers of rhizobia, incompatibility of seed coating materials or lack of protection by seed coating materials from detrimental effects of drying on rhizobial cells. Large numbers of contaminants were present on samples from seed company 2 and in two cases (samples E and G) the level of contamination was so high that initial plate counts were not possible.
The number of colonies of
Although it was not possible to determine the effects of storage conditions on rhizobial survival with these seed samples, the results are presented here to illustrate the problems associated with rhizobial viability on commercially pre-inoculated seed. However, it should be noted that only one out of the seven samples was from a batch of seed coated using standard commercial practice (sample E). The other samples were from small experimental batches where coating methodology may have been modified and therefore not representative of commercial coating conditions. Nevertheless, it was not possible to determine the number of viable rhizobia on lucerne seed from sample E because of heavy contamination and the time since coating was unknown. In Australia, there is no requirement for pre-inoculated seed to be labeled with a date of production or expiry.
Subsequent to the previous attempt to measure the effect of storage conditions on commercially coated seed, lucerne seed was collected again from commercial seed coating company number 2 at three points in the coating process. Seed was collected immediately after coating from the coating drum, before drying and after drying to determine if drying seed after coating had an effect on rhizobial viability during storage at different relative humidities. Seeds were packaged in sealed plastic bags and transported from the seed company to the Australian Inoculants Research Group (AIRG) where the viable number of rhizobia per seed was counted three days after inoculation and then to the University of Sydney laboratories where viable numbers after sixteen days were determined. The seed was then placed in relative humidity chambers for long-term studies of viability.
After three days the number of viable rhizobia on seeds that had not been dried was significantly higher than the number on seeds that had been dried (

Similar to the previous results with clover seed, survival of rhizobia on lucerne seed after storage at different relative humidities for three weeks suggested there was little relationship between equilibrium water activity and survival (
Survival of rhizobia on lucerne seed after storage for nine weeks indicated a clear relationship between water activity and survival (
Survival of rhizobia on lucerne seed as a function of water activity after three (
The lowest equilibrated water activity of commercially coated lucerne seeds after nine weeks storage at low relative humidity was 0.38 which was higher than equilibrated water activity of clover seed inoculated with polyvinyl alcohol polymers after two weeks. However, the lowest water activity of the lucerne seed after three weeks of storage at low relative humidity (0.47) was similar to the lowest water activity of clover seeds coated with the polyvinyl acetate latex polymer after two weeks storage at low relative humidity (0.43). This indicates that equilibrated water activity of seeds is dependent on the moisture sorption properties of the polymer adhesive which varies between solution and latex polymers.
The data indicates that when water activity of seeds is high for extended periods of time, survival of rhizobia is poor. When water activity of seeds is reduced, survival is dependent on the extent to which the water activity changed (
Coatings on seeds that had not been dried had less integrity than the coating on seeds that had been dried. Material from coatings that had not been dried was loose and easily removed whereas dried coatings were intact. This may also account for lower and more variable numbers of viable rhizobia on seeds that had not been dried. Drying coated seeds is an important step in the seed coating process so that seeds can be packaged and the coating remains intact. High integrity of seed coatings is important to prevent sloughing-off during transport and seed drilling operations [

Survival of rhizobia was determined after storage of inoculated seed at different relative humidities and a constant temperature of 15 °C. Experiments were carried out using inoculated seed samples prepared in the laboratory and seed collected from seed companies after inoculation using commercial seed coating processes. Seed species included subterranean clover (
In the laboratory, subterranean and white clover species were coated with either peat cultures of
Commercially coated seeds were collected from two seed coating companies. One company provided four samples from experimental batches of lucerne coated with
Commercially coated lucerne seed was collected at a later date from the second seed company at three points during the seed coating process. Seed was collected directly from the seed coating drum, after transfer on a conveyer belt to the drying table and after drying. Seeds were packaged in sealed plastic bags and transported to laboratories at AIRG and the University of Sydney for analysis. The number of viable rhizobia on coated seed was counted at three days (at AIRG) and 16 days (at the University of Sydney) after coating. At 16 days after coating the seed was distributed to relative humidity chambers.
Triplicate samples of coated seeds were stored in a refrigerated incubator at 15 °C. A constant temperature was required to maintain stable relative humidity conditions so that experiments could be replicated. Laboratory coated seeds were stored at relative humidities of 23%, 33%, 54%, 75%, 85% and 100% and commercially coated seeds were stored at 10%, 33%, 54%, 75% and 85%. In the later experiments with commercially coated seed, 10% relative humidity was substituted for 23% to provide a lower range as ambient relative humidity can often be low in rural regions of Australia. The highest relative humidity of 100% was removed as a treatment as coated seeds were likely to be contaminated and rhizobia would be difficult to count if growth of non-rhizobial species was encouraged. Relative humidity chambers were prepared using desiccators containing super-saturated salt solutions listed in
Saturated salt solutions and equilibrium relative humidities.

Rhizobial cells were resuspended from 100 seeds in 100 mL of sterile phosphate peptone buffer (PPB, 1.21 g K2HPO4, 0.34 g KH2PO4, 1.0 g peptone and 1 L water) by shaking for 10 min on a wrist-action shaker. The number of viable rhizobia was determined using spread plate counting on YMA after 10-fold dilution in PPB and water activity was measured at various time intervals using a PawKit™ water activity meter (Decagon Devices Inc, Pullman, WA, USA).
Significant differences in viable numbers of rhizobia on laboratory and commercially coated seed was determined by one-way analyses of variance at each time using GenStat (14th Edition, VSN International Ltd, Hemel Hempstead, UK). The effect of seed drying and storage at different relative humidity on survival was analysed by two-way analysis of variance. Polynomial functions were fitted and R2 values calculated using Microsoft Office Excel 2003 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA).
Relationships between survival of rhizobia on legume seed and water activity of coated seeds were established after storage of inoculated seeds at different relative humidities and constant temperature. However, this changed over time and was dependent on seed species, inoculum preparation, coating ingredients and whether inoculated seeds had been dried during production. While strains were not compared directly, it is assumed that results would also vary with different rhizobial strains because of inherent variability in survival [
If storage conditions are defined, shelf life may be more accurately determined and indicated on packaging. Longer-term studies will further establish relationships between storage conditions and survival on commercially coated seed. Inoculated seeds may then be easily monitored by seed coating companies using measurements such as water activity as an indicator that storage conditions are optimized for rhizobial survival. More research is needed to refine drying techniques and coating materials that reduce the death rate of rhizobia on seed. Survival of inoculant microorganisms on seed must be better understood and improved if inoculated seed is to be an effective means of delivering microbial inoculants to broad-acre crops.

I am now 30 years old and I have suffered from tension headaches and occasional migraines since I was 17. The migraines I used to have were so bad that I was actually tested through CT scans and MRI's to make sure I did not have a tumor or aneurysm like my mother did. Fortunately, I am fine and all results were negative. However, the only type of relief I could find through two neurologists I went to, were from strong medications such as Imitrex or shots from a visit to the ER.
One day after a new friend and I were talking, I came to discover that he also suffered from these headaches and actually went to a plastic surgeon for botox injections. I couldn't believe that botox could offer this type of relief! So I also went to his plastic surgeon for a consultation and wound up getting the injections myself.
I was hesitant to do this at first because of the cost, and hearing that the effects MAY only last for 3 to 4 months. However, I had a different experience. The typical visit is about $400, and the effects last for me usually about 15 months. I am not sure if this is because the doctor gives me a larger dose or my body just responds this way. I have never had any side effects, drooping eyes, or any other problems. The other upside is getting rid of tiny lines on the face that have formed.
I highly recommend this to anyone suffering from any type of headaches. It has changed my life and I will never be without it!!!!!

What would you do if you had nearly $100bn burning a hole in your pocket? Sadly, it's not a question many of us will ever face, but for Apple it's been a long-standing dilemma.
With sales of iPhones and iPads adding to its ever-growing cash mountain, the technology firm had to do something with all that money.
So today it's announced it will start paying a dividend to shareholders – for the first time since 1995 – and buy back some of its own shares.
The company will pay a quarterly dividend of $2.65 per share from July, and will spend a further $10bn (£6.3bn) buying back its shares in the next financial year, starting from September 30th, 2012.
"We have used some of our cash to make great investments in our business through increased research and development, acquisitions, new retail store openings, strategic prepayments and capital expenditures in our supply chain, and building out our infrastructure," Apple chief executive Tim Cook said in a statement.
More after the break
"You'll see more of all of these in the future.
"Even with these investments, we can maintain a war chest for strategic opportunities and have plenty of cash to run our business. So we are going to initiate a dividend and share repurchase programme."
At the end of last year, Apple revealed it had $97.6bn in cash. It expects to use $45bn over the next three years.

Muzaffarabad, Pakistan (AFP) Jun 3, 2006
Some 55,000 earthquake survivors will be relocated due to the danger posed by monsoon landslides in Pakistani Kashmir, officials said Saturday.
"A strategy is being evolved to relocate some 50 to 55 thousand people from areas prone to landslides before the start of monsoon season," the region's top administrator Kashif Murtaza told AFP.
Murtaza said that 18 villages were likely to be affected.
The government would work with the United Nations and other aid agencies get the people out of harm's way, he said.
"It is a big challenge to relocate the most vulnerable to safer places before the monsoon starts," Murtaza said.
Depending on how many people need to be resettled the government may have to buy land near Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir, he added.
The government already pays 25,000 jobless survivors a monthly benefit of 3,000 rupees (50 dollars) under a six-month grant programme.
It has also paid 4.27 billion rupees (71 million dollars) to 58,000 survivors whose houses were damaged by the earthquake.
The 7.6 magnitude quake on October 8, 2005 claimed more than 73,000 lives, seriously injured nearly 70,000 people and left 3.3 million homeless in Pakistan. More than 1,000 also died in Indian Kashmir.

Hi friends!
It's been marvellously sunny and warm here in Sydney for the past few days and I am really loving the smell of blooming spring flowers and the warm breeze that comes through the open windows. The mornings are much brighter and the days are getting longer - Summer is on its way!
I am also happy to let you know that we have finalised the deal for our new home and will be moving in later this spring! I am so excited about planning the interiors for the new place. After five years of living together we have of course accumulated a lot of stuff, but we will need to buy some new furniture as our new home will be quite a lot bigger than our current one. I will try to plan this carefully and select pieces that are perhaps a bit pricier but better quality and therefore (hopefully) longer lasting. Anyway, it's all exciting stuff and I'll be updating you guys regularly when things really start happening.
In the mean while, here's a little Sunday morning treat I made for this sunny spring day. I used roasted ground wattleseed to give these muffins a little extra flavour, but if you can't find wattleseed (a native Australian spice), you could replace it with cinnamon. Wattleseed has a nice coffee-like flavour that goes really well with the ingredients used in these muffins. I'm serving these treats with some refreshing rhubarb juice which is so simple to make and beats any of those sugar and preservative loaded shop-bought juices any day.
Hope you are all enjoying the weekend!
Gluten-free Strawberry and Wattleseed Muffins
(makes 8-10)
100g raw caster sugar
110g teff flour
110g sorghum flour
55g almond meal
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt (I use Maldon)
1 teaspoon ground wattleseed
175ml water
75ml olive oil
2 large free-range eggs
3-4 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1. Preheat the oven to 180C and prepare a 10 or 12 cup muffin tin.
2. Mix the caster sugar, flours, almond meal, baking powder, salt and wattleseed in a bowl.
3. Whisk the water, olive oil and eggs in a jug.
4. Pour the egg mixture in to the dry ingredients and stir quickly together.
5. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups and top each muffin with a slice of strawberry. Gently press the strawberry slices into the batter.
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a tester inserted in to the muffin comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
Rhubarb Juice*
(makes about 1 litre)
500g rhubarb, cut into pieces
1 lemon, peeled and cut into slices
boiling water
raw sugar, to taste
* you need to start this recipe a day ahead.
1. Layer the rhubarb and the lemon slices into a clean jar.
2. Top the pieces with boiling water.
3. Close the jar and keep it covered (with a tea towel) in room temperature for about 24 hours. Half-way through, gently mash the rhubarb in the jar. Close the jar and continue to let "brewing".
4. Sieve the juice, add sugar to taste and enjoy. This will keep in the fridge for about 3 days.

Christchurch welcomes best selling Author
A huge crowd was on hand to welcome best selling American author, Dr. Will Tuttle to New Zealand on Thursday night.
Dr Tuttle, author of the best selling book, The World Peace Diet, began his much anticipated New Zealand Tour this week, speaking to a near-capacity audience at the Canterbury Horticultural Society in Christchurch.
Dr. Tuttle spoke about how we have to eat more sustainably. "If we keep going the way we are going, the climate is not going to be able to support the huge amounts of methane, nitrous oxide and other things that are de-stabilising the climate, such as cutting down the rainforests and over fishing the oceans," he said. "As we have more people on the Earth, we have to eat in a more environmentally sustainable way".
"Dr. Tuttle's message of respect and compassion for all others, as articulated in The World Peace Diet has been very well received by his New Zealand audience. His presentation is positive and uplifting. We're looking forward to even larger audiences in Wellington, Auckland and Hamilton in the coming week" said New Zealand Tour coordinator, Amanda Sorrenson.
Dr. Tuttle will be speaking in New Zealand until February 26. Full details can be found on the Tour website.

| Remove from label for propofol (Diprivan) the warning that propofol should be administered only by trained persons

| Propofol is one of the most commonly used drugs to render general anesthesia. This drug has a very high risk of causing apnea. I feel strongly that this drug in the hands of care providers other than Anesthesia providers could cause great harm including death. As a CRNA I have been using this drug for over ten years. I strongly urge you to keep the warning label as noted. Without this label health care facilities will try to "cut costs" and inadequately trained providers could put the general public at great risk.

Last week, my retail technology-related travels took me closer to home than usual – to Boston, the city where I was born and still live within a reasonable drive. I visited the old homestead to attend the official opening of CVS Health's new Digital Innovation Lab.
Same-store sales increased 3% in April 2015, compared to the same month a year earlier.
Jins Eyewear, Japan's largest eyewear brand by volume, will open its first U.S. store on April 10, in San Francisco's Union Square neighborhood.
Rite Aid will assist customers with prescription insurance coverage issues related to the Affordable Care Act which went into effect Jan. 1, 2014 and help ensure they are able to access prescription medications under their new plans.
Through the end of January 2014, customers at Walmart and Walgreens who have signed up for public health exchanges but have not yet received their plan identification information from their insurance providers will be able to fill up to a 30-day supply of prescriptions with no upfront cost.
CVS is adding a feature to its mobile app that allows customers to check for potential drug interactions by comparing over-the-counter medications they buy with existing over-the-counter and prescription medications they already take.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has partnered with other international regulatory and law enforcement agencies to take action against more than 9,600 illegal online pharmacies this week.

Agencies NEWS
Dominik Obertreis was commissioned by the Stefan Kerp agency to spend four days in six different nursing homes for DANA in North Germany. He realised almost 6,000 images.
The booked photo models were aged between 68 and 89 years of ager and had plenty of fun on set. One or two people were featured per residential home. The result is a large, colourful series inspired by everyday life at the nursing homes.
From hairdresser visits, to group sports, nice chats with the carers, a watercolour course, finger exercises, bingo afternoons and even blood pressure readings. GoSee member FavoriteRed, amongst others, provided the photo models. The entire reportage and a »Best of-PDF« can be viewed in the news section on www.obertreis.de.
Dominik photographed Europe's leading industry gas producer; LINDE GAS in a dramatic downpour of rain, for various publications. The agency, client photographer all agreed: the stormy weather created an authentic result… and Berliner models Thorsten Radschus and Andreas Rieder still managed to keep everyone's spirits up.
He photographed the welding of the large wind turbines in the dry (but very dark and noisy) warehouses. There is also a PDF of this story in the news section of Dominik's website.
Dominik travelled to Mumbai for commercial motifs for SEW EURODRIVE, the market leader of gearmotors. His brief included photographing elephants in city traffic. However, just before the shoot was set to start, animal rights group PETA made it very clear that elephants are no longer allowed on the streets of Mumbai.
Still, thanks to the agency's networks, an elephant was transported to the edge of town in a van and was photographed on the Bollywood film estate. Dominik also travelled to VW in Wolfsburg and a large distribution centre for SEW.
A selection of the results can be viewed here. The agency was Ogilvy with CD Thomas Bullinger.
