Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Our friends had a party there so we decided to spend the night to avoid traveling afterthe party. Rooms were tiny,bed tiny, bathroom smelled very badly of mold, shower broken. Service not friendly at all. Room, bathroom, service
Nice countryside, friendly staff - definitly will cone back
Good service, flexible on wishing to check in early (normal check in at 14.00 hrs a bit late?), nice breakfast, good room.
Close to the highway but far enough not to hear it in the night. Very friendly hotel staff and free internet connection (if I remember right). There is a good and cosy restaurant 3 min from hotel by car: http://www.stovletkatrineshus.dk. In order to eat at the hotel restaurant you have to make a reseveration before...If you do not know there is no table for you (however the lady recommended the restaurant above and it was a very good advise)
Very clean and good facilities. Comfortable stay in scenic, peaceful surroundings. Wonderful view from restaurant.
Great location as we were able to walk to the rowing races from there. It was hot when we were there and we did miss not having any air conditioning...it made sleeping a little difficult for us
For someone with a car, it's a very quiet country location with plenty of parking, yet close to a number of Danish sightseeing attractions (including the town of Soro itself). A bad odor (musty, slightly sewer-like) emanated from the shower drain in the bathroom of our lower floor room. Keeping a folded towel over the drain took complete care of it during our stay, but it's certainly a problem the hotel needs to fix.
Helpfull and curtious staff at every point, matched only by the high quality of the room No
Very good beds, a great variety of different pillows to choose, nice staff and a very good breakfast! We asked in advance until when the swimming pool was open, the hoten answered until 23.00h. When we were at the hotel, the pool turned out to be open only until 22.00h, which left us very little time to use it.
Able to invite friends to share the pool with us.Reception staff particularly helpful.
There are many children, and young fammiles. The people came different countries. Sweden, Norway, Niederland, Russa, German, Poland and ofcourse Denmark. Every afternoon I nedd to checked my room-carde at recepcion, and without this I couldn't to oppen my door.
The breakfast was good. The wireless Internet connection did not work.
Room was OK. It was a Suite booked for my parents and they thought the room was really nice (nice bathroom etc.) room 201. My parents were not impressed by the food in the restaurant, fish were good but vegetables and potatoes they mentioned was not exactly gourmet....
Postgaarden is a nicely situated hotel with a very friendly staff. The hotel is situated in the middle of the very beautiful village Soroe and a small walk will take you to the nature or to the nice centre of Soroe. Breakfast was good and quiet. The booked Suite was not really to categorize "Suite", the room was same (or even smaller) than a normal sized room at the hotel, the extra Suite comfort was a bathtub we were told (and a seeting area, but that was in the bathroom...). Food in the restaurant leaves room for improvement.
I stayed at the Hotel Postgaarden mainly because of its good location, and I was not disappointed. It was comfortable and efficient.
Good location. Room not well cleaned. Couldn't lock on to wireless internet, and there was no staff that could help me with that.
Sitting on the deck enjoying friends, beer and the beautiful view and of course the breakfast!! You need to get some paddle fans for the summer months to move the air around.
so close to the water, in a park og the cozy inviroment at the hotel none
Very nice grounds and being close to the sea.
Quick check in and check out Reservation through booking.com was lost bathroom quite small and inconvenient
Good selection of tv channels Whole hotel need a make over. The bar and restaurant area in particular, it is inpersonal and designed in the 1960's
Good and nice place, a park. Breakfast very good The apartament and the bathroom is little and bad, and expensive

STROUD district residents are being asked for their input as new council ward boundaries are to be drawn up.
The independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England is asking people for their help to draw up a new pattern of council wards for Stroud District Council.
The consultation is the first part of an electoral review which will re-draw ward boundaries across the district with the commission likely to recommend the number of councillors stays at 51.
In drawing up new boundaries, the commission aims to deliver electoral equality for voters in council elections so that each councillor represents roughly the same number of voters.
The review also aims to ensure that the new council wards reflect, as far as possible, the interests and identities of communities across the Stroud district.
Chairman of the Commission Max Caller said they would take into account local community identities as well as ensuring electoral equality for voters.
"If you think a road, river or railway makes for a strong boundary between communities in your part of Stroud, this consultation is for you," he said.
"We will carefully consider all evidence that is provided during this phase of the review whoever it is from and whether it applies to the whole of Stroud or just a small part of the district.
"Your views will make a difference."
The deadline for people to have their say is November 3 2014
For more information about the review and interactive maps of existing wards can be found at www.consultation.lgbce.org.uk and www.lgbce.org.uk
Draft recommendations will be published in February 2015.

Mustard-Maple Glazed Ham
The classic Easter ham gets a flavor upgrade with this enticing mustard-maple glaze. Serve with mouthwatering Maple-Thyme Biscuits, if desired.
- Servings: 30
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, March 2010
- 1 (18-pound) whole bone-in, fully cooked, smoked ham, room temperature
- 1/2 cup champagne vinegar
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 2/3 cup country-style Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam
- Pinch of coarse salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a roasting pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
Rinse ham under cool running water. Pat dry and wrap with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil; place in prepared roasting pan. Transfer to oven for 4 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat vinegar over medium-high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 6 minutes. Add maple syrup, mustard, jam, and salt; season with pepper. Cook, whisking, until well combined, about 2 minutes. Set glaze aside.
Remove ham from oven and uncover. When cool enough to handle, cut off rind using a sharp knife. Slice off most of the fat, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick layer. Score fat on top of ham in a pattern of 1- to 2-inch diamonds.
Brush ham evenly with one-third of the glaze and return to oven. After 20 minutes, brush ham again with half the remaining glaze. Cook for 15 minutes and brush with remaining glaze. Continue baking ham until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of ham reaches 145 to 150 degrees, about 15 minutes more.
Transfer to a cutting board. Let ham cool 30 minutes before carving.

A. In an effort to reduce waste, AT&T does not provide detailed billing on paper bills by default. However, customers are able to access bill details online at www.att.com/mywireless. Customers may also add Detailed Billing to their paper bills for $1.99/mo for each subscriber.
Q. When will I be able to use mobile to mobile with all AT&T customers?
A. When you switch to AT&T – this is just one of the great benefits of upgrading to an AT&T phone and plan.

PUPILS, teachers and families gathered at Christ Church, Hipperholme, for their harvest thanksgiving concert and service.
The Hipperholme Grammar Junior School pupils brought in a bounty of gifts of food and every child participated in the concert demonstrating their drama and musical talents.
The service was opened with a rendition of Food Glorious Food followed by musical contributions from all school years - even sung in French.
Between the songs, the children performed a play written by their teachers to illustrate that while the pizza they order may take just five minutes to deliver from the pizzeria around the corner, the ingredients to make it have actually travelled hundreds of miles.
A collection at the end of the service raised £105 for charity and the children's food parcels are to be donated to the Ebenezer Drop-In Centre in Halifax.

This week's final
Despite substantial judicial guidance in the past year, directors are still in the dark about the extent to which they can rely on advice from management or external experts on a contentious matter.
On Monday, the NSW Court of Appeal slashed penalties imposed on seven James Hardie non-executive directors for misleading the market, further clouding the issue. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission successfully prosecuted them for approving a misleading statement to the Australian Securities Exchange in 2001 which announced that a trust to compensate asbestos victims was "fully funded". The trust was later found to be $1.3 billion short.
The court accepted that then chief executive Peter McDonald told the directors the fund was fully funded. But Judge Ronald Sackville did not accept the directors were blameless because they relied on McDonald's statement. The judge said the directors should have questioned whether the fund was fully funded, given there was ample external information to suggest the press release might not have been accurate.
Former NSW Supreme Court judge and now Minter Ellison consultant Bob Austin said the decision was a lesson for directors. "While non-executive directors can take into account and, to a substantial degree, rely on the input they get from others who should know, it is essential for directors to make an independent assessment of what they receive. You don't have to be a full-time operative inside the company to discharge your duty but you do have to have commonsense."
The Hardie case contrasts with the Federal Court's 2011 decision in Centro, in which the court found that eight directors breached their duties after the company's accounts mis-stated current liabilities by $2 billion. The directors claimed they relied on advice from external auditors about the liability. The court said that reliance was irrelevant when determining a finding of liability, but did take it into account when imposing penalties. The only penalty they received was the declarations of contravention.
While the Hardie decision is distinguished on the basis Centro's directors received assurances from auditors and management, Mr Austin said it was a "puzzling distinction" and "not entirely satisfactory".

GeSI and StEP e-Waste Academy
ICT has tremendous potential to help businesses and societies dramatically reduce their impact on the environment through solutions such as smart grids, buildings and logistical systems. As the ICT industry grows rapidly, retired handsets, servers, computers, and other "e-waste" are entering the waste stream in countries across the world. GeSI aims to build capacity so that these products are disposed of responsibly and material is reused or recycled to the greatest extent possible.
Our vision is for the ICT sector to move from managing risks to encouraging more efficient use and more extensive re-use of materials by viewing e-waste as a valuable resource. Recycling more of the materials in used equipment – including precious metals – reduces environmental impacts from its disposal as well as the need to extract more raw materials from the ground. This, in turn, reduces the associated environmental and social impacts of mining, tying in with our supply chain work on extraction.
To build capacity for e-waste management, particularly in developing countries, GeSI, Solving the E-waste Problem (StEP) and the United Nations University Institute for Sustainability and Peace (UNU-ISP) co-organised the first ever GeSI and StEP E-Waste Academy on 25-29 June 2012 in Accra, Ghana. The objective of the event, co-sponsored by GeSI, NVMP Association and United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), was to share existing knowledge and research into effective e-waste management and regulation with policymakers, recyclers and other stakeholders from the West Africa region. To build on this year's event, organisers plan to conduct an e-waste academy in a different world region in 2013. Several national governments have expressed interest in hosting the event. Further information is available at www.ewasteacademy.org. You may also visit our Facebook or Twitter page. Download a PowerPoint Presentation of the EWA concept.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) June 09, 2014
Daily activities like dressing and undressing may present a challenge for individuals with various limitations. However, an inventor from Philadelphia, Pa., has discovered a way to help.
His invention, YOUNG'S FASTEN WITH EASE, is designed to reduce hand discomfort and pain for elderly or disabled individuals, promoting independence for anyone challenged by standard clothing fasteners. In fact, it completely eliminates the need to struggle with standard closures, like buttons, zippers, snaps and ties when dressing. Suitable for use by men, women and children, it also affords an attractive array of clothing items and accessories to choose from. Furthermore, it saves time and effort, particularly for persons whose fine motor skills may be compromised. In addition, it is convenient, reasonably priced and easy to use, even by those with movement restrictions.
The inventor's personal experience with conventional clothing fasteners inspired him to provide a better option. "As a stroke victim, I have had difficulty with buttons, zippers, snaps, and ties. I wanted to find an easier way to wear any type of clothing," he said.
The original design was submitted to the Philadelphia office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 12-PND-4392, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

I haven't worked on any Cabrio models as of yet, but we do have a few members thats reported this issue, yours doesn't sound as bad yet, but may get bad and make the noise during the entire spin cycle before long.
Seems the culprit is the Outer Tub Assembly W10193886 itself, it comes with a new bearing already installed.
FIXED Cabrio has loud noise during spin
Whirlpool Carrio making noise in spin cycle.
Check your warranty on the outer tub assembly, yours may have a 10 yr. warranty on it.

The food was excellent, atmosphere was great and the staff was extremely accommodating! The only downside for me was that the menu was in the smaller side and there wasn't any kid friendly options. The soup of the day was GF and wonderful! I also got the beef fajita meal. It was amazing! Their substitute for the GF options was on a giant salad! I'm as entice celiac and my 3 year old is as well! We didn't get sick!
Amazing food! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff! Well worth the visit!

DejaimeNeto commented on DejaimeNeto's blog entry in Bidimensional DreamsHey, I updated it with a link to the trailer!
DejaimeNeto posted a blog entry in Bidimensional DreamsHey everyone, It took us way longer than we'd like it to, but here it is! DeepHive Corporation - Greenlight For those of you who didn't catch my last post, the game is[quote] a story driven sci-fi game, inspired by Beneath a Steel Sky, The Dig and games like I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. It is basically a multiple endings visual novel, telling the story of three children born and raised without any human contact, who have to make difficult decisions in order to save (or doom) tens of thousands of lives after a comet is detected in collision route.[/quote] Any votes and shares are very welcome! Thank you! I intend on updating it in the next couple of weeks.
DejaimeNeto commented on DejaimeNeto's blog entry in Bidimensional DreamsWill do! Good luck with your game, it is looking great!
DejaimeNeto posted a blog entry in Bidimensional DreamsHi guys, For those of you who do not know me (i reckon something around the 99.9% of you), I am a professional game developer that was fairly active here around three years ago. Back then, I found a new Job in the game industry, and I have been mostly working on educational games for the last years. Today, I went back to College (graduating in the next year), and I am still in that job I got in 2014. Still, last year I had the opportunity to revive an old shelved personal project of mine, a story driven sci-fi game, inspired by Beneath a Steel Sky, The Dig and games like I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. It is basically a multiple endings visual novel, telling the story of three children born and raised without any human contact, who have to make difficult decisions in order to save (or doom) tens of thousands of lives after a comet is detected in collision route. I am developing this in my little spare time, not much, between full time job and college. Still, the news about Greenlight being taken down are forcing me to rush things a bit. We hope to pass the game through Greenlight before it is taken down, and that will be a big challenge, about which I may end up writing an article here later. I'll try to keep you guys informed, as me and my beautiful partner work our essays off to bring this game to life. Will drop some concept art and one or other gifs to keep you posted! This is also some sort of incentive for me to try and work on the game for every minute I can squeeze out of my days, and this is basically why I came to GD, as it is a great place for feedback and motivation. This project was a secret until I made this post. Wish us luck! This is our Greenlight description, any feedback is appreciated.[quote] Following a catastrophic space collision, three children are born into the light of an unknown solar system, and have thousands of lives on their hands. DeepHive Corp is a Sci-Fi Visual Novel, that tells the story of three children, with three different views of their world, where they were raised from babies by an advanced AI system, isolated from other humans. With hard choices take, and sacrifices to make, the children are the only hope for the tens of thousands of people, who find their minds trapped in a mind-machine interface. This project is being developed by a team of two, and is inspired by games like Beneath a Steel Sky, The Dig and I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. With it, we hope to bring our players that feeling of playing through those games for the first time. We plan on releasing all the source code, under the license available at http://deephivecorp.com/curiouslicense, for anyone who owns the game and wants to read the code, play around, break the game and learn from it.[/quote]
You can create a desktop game using LibGDX, as well as you can use Godot, Cocos2D-X and many many others that are not exclusivelly mobile.
DejaimeNeto replied to Sunsharior's topic in For BeginnersNothing prevents you from creating a window with SDL and capturing the input events inside it, while you use Qt for the second window. But you probably want to render inside the window, in a frame of some sort, so you'll probably have work around this. The first possibility that pops in my mind is to use Qt's OpenGL API, to get the rendering target and such, and return whatever you need to SDL2 so it can render in a QtWidget. What you could do as weel is trying and turning an SDL_Surface into a QtImage, and only use SDL to render to that surface. I don't really know how to do that, but it may be more googleable.

DejaimeNeto commented on Indium Indeed's blog entry in How to make a clone of Futile TilesThat's a nice selection indeed, I really liked cocos2d-x. I can't see myself using nor Unity nor UDK (or UE4 for that matter) due to the fact I wouldn't want to pay for their licenses now. When I finish something and go through the process of a formal release (and some money start flowing) I'd probably pick one of them though. I don't use libgdx as java isn't a language I like; I never use it except for Android development. If I decide not to use cocos2d-x I'd go straight to MOAI or the Haxe and HaxeFlixel duo and skip libgdx altogether. The libraries I am actively using today are MOAI and ClanLib. MOAI for the more serious development (as in the stuff I plan on finishing) while ClanLib on my experimental project that I am just starting. As for multimedia tools, I can't say much as I don't use them. When I need test media I use open source applications as they have a much better cost-benefit for me. If I ever get to the point where productivity is an issue I'd certainly grab an adobe creative solution or some other commercial software.

DejaimeNeto replied to rabbitrabbit's topic in For BeginnersThe problem with starting with the generator is that you won't really know what you need until you're coding the game itself. You'll need a good guess to avoid having to redo a big part of the generator once you start to see any possible problems in it when coding the game. The opposite approach also have a downside, as you'll need to create one or two maps by hand, what isn't that much of a problem, but your game will have just these test cases and you can then have some nasty bugs that for a random reason don't appear on your hand-made maps. Another possible approach is to code the generator and the game "simultaneously". Whenever you add a given feature to the game that affects your levels you add support for it to your generator. This is a safer approach, but it will probably take some rework now and then; you'll do a little rework to guarantee you won't do a lot of it. Now, if by generator you mean editor you'll need to create new maps whenever you make significant changes to your level system. If you really mean generator (as in a procedural generator) this wouldn't be a problem at all.
Oxigine is a relatively young engine with no community at all. It is unnatural at least to recommend this framework to a beginner given it has only a handful of examples. Especially after downvoting a post that recommends cocos2d-x that is really good and has tons of learning resources, including several published books.
I wouldn't recommend moai, because it is a tad too complex for beginners, it is designed to be used by more experienced devs. +1 for cocos2d. SFML is a multimedia library that "handles" media, system specifics and input. This includes rendering, audio, listening to kb&mouse/gamepads, networking and more. But that's it, it gives you access to these resources, but it doesn't do any simulation. This means it does no physics, no collision detection... Box2D is also a library, but it is a simulation one (physics simulation to be precise). This means it cannot render anything it is simulating, it "just does the math". You'd need to interpret its behavior to make it useful. Definitely not meant for beginners. There are many more ways to create physics though, and for a 2D sidescroller Box2D would probably be overkill, unless it is a physics game.
DejaimeNeto posted a blog entry in Bidimensional DreamsHello Again! These last few days I've been under the radar, my poor blog probably feels really lonely right now, but there's a good reason. I have sent my CV for a local studio in hopes of getting a full time job as a programmer in game development. For my own surprise, they have actually called me two days after I sent it. Just a week after I sent my CV I was being interviewed; hired in the next day! Actually, I can't even believe it. This is my first week on this new job, and I am really excited! For these first days though, I've been horrible, I must admit. My productivity was really low due to a series of problems while setting up my environment. I am not working in a game right away (I guess they want to test me first), but actually in an Android app, hence I use the Android SDK. They use the Eclipse AndroidSDK bundle, so everything is setted up accordingly. They installed Linux in a machine (as I stated I used Linux to work at home), and for some reason, Eclipse kept on crashing in the Property View (after the hour-long download of the SDK Manager)... Not to mention the first machine I used (in my first day) was then reallocated to someone else, just to start another series of problems with Java 32 bit fighting its 64 bit version, Android SDK and the buggy Eclipse. In the end, I am using Windows 8 and the bundled Android SDK and Eclipse; as it only crashes on Mac and Linux. Long story short, three days after I started all I did was set my environment up (three times) and start working. Done two tasks in the scrum board... I just hope they don't fire me for being incompetent! hahaha It is a hard job. I knew I would struggle in the start, but didn't expect it to be this much. They are all helpful though, I can call anyone to my table and ask questions, they always help me however they can. I just feel kinda bad about calling them over though, and I try to avoid it; I feel like I am getting in their way or taking too much of their time. I hope to get up to speed soon enough. I've only been there for some days, so I guess I'll do better with time. Anyway, most of you would want to know what I have shown them, what called their attention to me, so I'll go over it. Language: [indent=1]Even though I work with Java, they called me for my prior experience with C++. Yes, it looks counter-productive, but they tested my C++ proficiency to work with Java. Actually, they didn't even ask for any prior Java experience, but did ask for it with C++. [indent=1]Does that mean I wouldn't have gotten the job if I was a Java programmer? In this case, yes. Does that means I wouldn't find any job if I was a Java programmer with no C++ experience and portfolio? I think I would find one, it would probably take longer though (longer than a week for that matter). [color=#696969]YMMV[/color]. Portfolio: [indent=1]I listed both code I wrote and my small (and kinda amateurish) programming blog. College: [indent=1]I have no college degree, nor any formal courses in programming or GameDev. There is no possibility of studying programming through regular education (not until college, that is). In other words, what would I say is important? Have experience with one or more languages such as C++, C#, Java... Create yourself a good portfolio with code samples. Create an open source library, an open source game. Complete projects, not "started and abandoned" projects, to fill your portfolio with. I would also tell you to avoid game clones as a portfolio entry. It makes you look more of a hobbyist than you'd like it to. In addition, it is always better to see something simpler, but new and creative, than another clone of a classic game; unless it is a complex game (above the classic mario/zelda complexity). It is even truer if the web is flooded with tutorials to clone it. Well, that is it, I guess I will leave you again for now, as tomorrow I sign in @8am ! Wish me luck everyone, I really need it! haha

Apps for What Ails You
Could a mobile app save your life? Aza Raskin thinks so. Formerly in charge of design and user experience for Mozilla's Firefox Web browser, Raskin left the company last year to start Massive Health, a startup based in San Francisco that's pursuing secretive plans to launch a mobile health app later this year.
While Angry Birds and other addictive games may top the app charts today, Raskin is among a growing number of entrepreneurs who think that apps will be powerful tools for health care, too. (See six mobile health apps highlighted by Technology Review.) That is because mobile apps offer the sort of intimate interactions the health-care system doesn't: they are always connected, always by your side, and they can have a very personal feel.

80s dystopia by gifted director Terry Gilliam and -- I always forget this until I start watching the movie -- Robert De Niro. It's a classic.
My Collections:
John_and_Rose's recommendation
Director Gilliam creates a brave new world of bizarre sights and sounds in this wonderfully whimsical retro-future movie. A great, great movie!!
My Collections:
gordon's recommendation
One of the smartest, most darkly comic films ever. A vision of a truly weird but somehow convincing failed utopia, Brazil is one intense movie. It deals w/the large issues of freedom, personal responsibility, love, and oppression in an action-packed film and is Gilliam's best, imho (though Time Bandits rocks too). Also as Joe mentions, De Niro is in this movie and his character is brilliant: an insurgent plumber!
auntbeep's recommendation
I try to see this movie at least once a year, as I grow older Brazil seems to make more and more sense - it is prophetic, and gives a great sense of perspective about the absurdities of our bizarre social norms. Personally, I think this is one of De Niro's most endearing roles...he's so NOT De Niro, but my absolute favorite perormance/character/message in the whole film is Katherine Helmond's (a la Who's The Boss) role as Ms. Ida Lowry. This movie is a classic for sure, and so very very Beep.
My Collections:
wonderboy779's recommendation
This is a brilliant, ingenious movie about the line between reality and fantasy, and says some powerful things about society and the human mind. It's one of my all time favorites, and this Criterion Collection DVD has a ridiculous amount of extra material (3 discs!) Seriously, check it out!
Andrea's recommendation
Amazingly prophetic movie about a post-apocolyptic future where the government enforced fear of terrorism allows society to crumble, while the insanely opulent have cosmetic surgery parties. Oh, that's happening now? Oh yeah.
My Collections:
DJWong's recommendation
Great Film. Very 1984-ish.
paperheartmummy's recommendation
Such a phenomenal movie in the Criterion Collection.

Harvey an educated gambler
Published: December 15 2012 - 3:00AMGerry Harvey is no mug punter. In fact, he doesn't bet, he only backs his instincts.
FOR Australia's biggest racehorse owner, Gerry Harvey, the first fascination for horse racing came when he was studying at Sydney university in the 1950s.
One of Australia's wealthiest men reflected this week that during those times he engaged with the sport of kings but could only watch and admire.
More than 50 years later he has 260 racehorses and 450 brood mares in a racing empire that stretches from the Widden Valley in New South Wales to a stud farm on the outskirts of Auckland, New Zealand.
His passion for racing is obvious but, at the age of 73, he still wrestles with why people become involved in racing and at what level.
''I used to go to the races all the time in secondary school and then at uni, but I didn't have any money then, but I always thought is it the gambling, is it the breeding, is it the owning or is it just the whole concept or none,'' Harvey said.
Multiple Melbourne Cup-winning owner Lloyd Williams' first connection with racing came in his parent's newsagency in Camberwell. Renowned thoroughbred auctioneer Bill Stutt would debate the youngster on pedigrees from Tesio to Star Kingdom.
Williams and Harvey have one thing in common - their financial base grew from other commercial successes and their hobby of racing blossomed as a result.
But while Harvey has achieved much in commercial life, he admits that from 1961 until 1972 he only had a passing interest in horse racing.
''I was setting up my business. I started with other things and suddenly that business grew and grew. So in 1972 I went to an Inglis broodmare sale and purchased five mares,'' he said.
''From those mares the first three foals won 25 races, and then I bought a property and then that became a stud and then the next thing I knew I was a director of the Sydney Turf Club. And yes, I did think I knew it all then.''
But Harvey essentially is a deal maker. His background is in sales and he's good at it.
''It's all about people. What they like and what they don't like. What makes them happy and what makes them sad; that's the base you work off and that's what gives you the rewards.''
In 1978, he bought smart colt Best Western while still in training and immediately syndicated the horse; something rarely done if ever in those times.
Harvey believes that those deals were highly successful but one suspects the man behind the Harvey Norman enterprise is underplaying his involvement.
Harvey is a deep thinker, a hard worker, and maintains that he saw his father's lack of work ethic become his undoing.
''My father was a publican and a farmer. He drank too much and worked too little. At the young age I was, it was pretty confronting, so I did things in reverse and they've worked out well,'' he said.
However, Harvey is forthright in his principles about racing and is of the belief that Australian horses in the future will have little or no chance of competing for Melbourne Cup honours.
''They won't like me saying it, but trainers in Australia don't really know how to prepare a stayer. Perhaps one or two can, but overall we are just a sprinting-driven nation,'' he said.
''Put it this way, we are the best in the world at getting great horses under 1400 metres and the worst in the world at getting them past 2000 metres.
''We looked at Americain, a Melbourne Cup winner, as a possible stallion, but the harder we looked it seemed that no one in Australasia would send him a mare, so we dropped off him.
''And then we had Galileo come to Australia and what did we do with him? We pushed and pushed his offspring and he was a complete failure and yet a successful sire in Europe - that's got to telling you something,'' he said.
Harvey, from those who know him, is a carefully measured and considerate businessman. Most maintain that his passion and energy is why he is worth $1 billion.
But the global financial crisis of 2007 stripped $1.5 billion from his personal wealth, something the businessman puts into perspective. ''I lost $1.5 billion and was wiped out, but I would get up every morning and think, 'Well, I never thought I'd make a dollar and now I've made a billion of them'.
''There was nothing you could do about it; the Harvey Norman empire went from $7.5 billion down to $2.5 billion - that's just the way of it.''
Over 12 months ago, Harvey, who owned 50 per cent of the Magic Millions sales concept, called in his two partners John Singleton and Rob Ferguson over what direction the business was taking.
In 1997, the three businessmen took over Magic Millions, which was turning over $14 million, and 15 years later the business is achieving a $250 million turnover.
''John and Rob are horse owners and gamblers. I'm a horse owner and breeder, so we work things out and I bought the two of them out,'' Harvey said.
''We're all still mates, but when you talk about gambling on racehorses I feel sometimes across my businesses I'm gambling every day. I never buy a package of shares under half-a-million dollars and on occasion spend a lot, lot more than that.
''I'm at the top of the retail game and have studied the market closely, so I should be able to make something out of it.
''Gambling on racehorses is another interesting level of the game. It's never appealed to me, but at the same time if I was to go into it, I wouldn't go into it as a mug.
''I'd hire a few professionals, create a pot of money about $5 million, and do it over five years. At the end of the five years, I could sit down and see where the $25 million went.
''We'd probably lose it, or we might break even, or there could even be some profit. But I can't stress enough, if you go into projects, any projects, you've got to think long and hard about their viability,'' he said.
Harvey spends more than $6 million a year on training fees alone. He makes no excuse for his expenditure and maintains that other successful commercial interests often support his racing investments.
''Just two years ago, we got into mining accommodation in Queensland. I just wished we'd done it 10 years ago, but that's proving to be a successful enterprise,'' he said.
Harvey says speculation that he's joining a coterie of businessmen keen to take over Australian-based airline Qantas is ill-founded.
''No, I'm just a passive investor. Quite a happy passive investor really; I've purchased my shares at $1.15 and they're currently $1.39, so I'm more than happy,'' he said.
''Don't worry, I've felt a sucker before when people have come to me to borrow a few million to get a venture off the ground. I'm genuinely excited for them; sometimes it's not the money, it's just the satisfaction of creating a business that is a going concern and has achieved someone's dream.''
Next month, Harvey will sell 70 yearlings at the Magic Millions Sales and then 70 more in New Zealand, with another 70 placed on the market between the Adelaide sales and the national sale on the Gold Coast.
But Harvey says that while getting $1 million for a yearling is satisfying, seeing small-time operators who manage to snare a yearling makes it all worthwhile. ''I get so much enjoyment at watching people that have done their study, examined the yearling from top to bottom and that they've managed to buy it for $10,000 - just the amount they'd budgeted for,'' he said.
''I was like them once and I marvel at them for the enjoyment they derive but, more importantly, I know they will go home and not only treasure their investment but dream, and dream of what could be. In reality, it probably won't work out but people in racing never die wondering.''

Psychology may be defined as the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes. It is concerned with almost every aspect of our lives. Students will be exposed to a field of study that has assumed an increasingly important role in understanding and addressing social and individual problems. Psychology has developed as both a science and as a profession. Students will be introduced to the various approaches of psychology, including related theories, research, and concepts.
While students will discover that there are no simple answers to such questions as How should I raise my child? or Why do I feel this way?, they will learn that psychology can help them to appreciate the complexity of such questions and to seek and evaluate useful answers.
UCFV currently offers a major and an extended minor in psychology as part of its Bachelor of Arts program. In the Fall semester of 2000 changes were made to the courses offered by the Psychology department, the prerequisites for several courses, and the requirements for a major and extended minor.
Students who have completed part of the previous set of requirements for a major or extended minor in Psychology should consult with the Arts advisor or the Psychology department head. In some cases students will have met this previous set of requirements for the second-year level. In other cases students may be able to complete the previous requirements by obtaining special permission to substitute current courses for courses from the previous requirements that have been discontinued. Students will require this advice and permission because in some cases previous courses are simply renumbered, while in other cases previous courses will not be given specific transfer credit toward the new requirements.
Note: Student transferring to UCFV with psychology credits from other institutions should also seek advice from the Arts advisor or the Psychology department head in order to determine how their previous work can be used toward fulfilling the current requirements.
Note on prerequisites: Unless stated otherwise, the minimum grade acceptable in all course prerequisites is a C- (see the psychology course descriptions in the Course descriptions section).
Listed below are the program requirements for the major and extended minor.
This section specifies the major and extended minor discipline requirements only. See the Bachelor of Arts section for additional requirements.
Psychology major requirements
Lower-level requirements: 17 credits
* MATH 104 or MATH 106 may be substituted for PSYC 110.

The writer of this article examines the philosophies of Jeremy Bentham and Robert Nozick regarding their beliefs on hedonism and human action. The writer discusses the moral theory of each man. The writer also looks at intrinsic values. In this paper the search for pleasure and happiness versus the search for authenticity are discussed. The writer also studies Bentham's utilitarian philosophy.
From the Paper:"The basic definition of hedonism is that feelings of pleasure or happiness are the principle objective of conduct. From an ethical perspective this means that whatever causes pleasure is right. Within this perspective however, there are many caveats. Pleasure for whom for example and what kind of pleasure constitutes the highest good. The Utilitarian philosophy of Jeremy Bentham identifies happiness with pleasure judging the rightness of actions from the happiness they lead to that may be considered as a form of hedonism. In his essay Classical Hedonism he argues that ... "

Now Ms. Lewis and Mr. Carlson, who often were at odds with Mr. Widmer and his allies, have prevailed in the long-running dispute over whether to build a new library in Holbrook-Palmer Park. By a healthy 2-1 majority, Atherton residents voted a resounding "no" on ballot Measure F, which would have authorized the new library.
With the library dispute settled, the council can move on to approve an earthquake retrofit and upgrade of the existing library at Town Center, using funds put aside by a county joint powers authorty for exclusive use on an Atherton library. In a year or two, there will be $8 million in the fund, which some residents had hoped would be used to build a new library. But strong opposition not only knocked the new library out of the picture, it also ended the council hopes of strong library supporter Denise Kupperman, who along with Greg Conlon lost her bid for a four-year term.
Now it will be up to Ms. Lewis and her allies to set the town's agenda for the next two years. In an interview last week, she said she aims to bring harmony to the council following the bitter disputes that characterized much of the discourse over the last four years. It is encouraging to hear that she is committed to renovating or replacing the old library at Town Center, and intends to push for beginning work on a master plan to identify the location and plans for all the town's public buildings.
In addition, the upcoming contract talks with the police officers union will not be easy, especially after the APOA inserted itself in the council campaign. The group spent more than $10,000 in support of Ms. Lewis and Mr. Wiest, paying for yard signs, advertising and a controversial robocall that some council members and residents felt was inappropriate and threatening. In response, the full council authorized Mr. Widmer to send out a press release to, among other things, counter the charge raised by the phone call that the current council was considering outsourcing police services to the county Sheriff's Office.
Ms. Lewis admits that the negotiations with the police union are "not going to be easy," and that what will matter is "whether we can pay for the services we are wanting to have."
The town dedicates 60 percent of a $750-per- household parcel tax to help pay for the police department, a position the union is banking on as negotiations grow near. Except on one occasion, Atherton residents have approved the parcel tax, which is renewed every four years.
Given the town's other financial challenges, it is virtually a given that without income from a parcel tax, the council will have to bring down costs in the police department, either by reducing staff or outsourcing the department to the county. It may be past the time when Atherton taxpayers will continue to support one of the costliest police departments per capita on the Peninsula. But it will take a courageous council to pull the plug on what has been a hallmark of Atherton for many years.

A pensioner who downloaded and made almost 12,500 indecent images of children was caught out by a workman in his home.
George Thompson's activities came to light after a painter and decorator was doing some work at his premises in West Kirby.
Police were notified and when they raided his home in Hilbre Court, South Parade, West Kirby, they found a total of 12,428 illegal child porn pictures.
Kate Morley, prosecuting, told Liverpool Crown Court that 79-year-old Thompson had used a programme which had wiped most of his internet history and had a further anti-encryption program which made it difficult for police to forensically examine his computer.
He said he had collected the images from the internet and created some images himself by transferring the heads of some children onto the bodies of others.
Thompson said he gained sexual gratification from the pictures but they were for his own use and he had not shared them with anyone else, said Miss Morley.
He pleaded guilty to 16 charges of possessing and creating indecent images of children. The majority were in the lowest category of seriousness but included hundreds at the next three levels.
Thompson, who walks with two sticks, has previous convictions for indecently assaulting boys under the age of 14 in the 1950s and 1970.
Judge Andrew Hatton said he bore in mind Thompson posed a "limited risk" in the future and that he had admitted his guilty straight away.
"In my judgement the offences to which you have pleaded guilty merit a custodial sentence, but I think the long-term interests of society are best served by you being made the subject of supervision in the community."
He imposed a community order with three years' supervision and ordered him to attend the Northumbria sex offenders programme.
Quentin Neal, defending, said the 12 months he had spent on bail was a "period of trauma" and that since his last conviction he had built up status in the community which he had now lost.
"To a large extent he has subdued the demons in his personality. He feels shamed by his offending," he added.

Rolling for Initiative is a weekly column by Scott Thorne, PhD, owner of Castle Perilous Games & Books in Carbondale, Illinois and instructor in marketing at Southeast Missouri State University. This week, Thorne gives an overview of Kickstarter and a major problem with the site.
After writing about the success of Giant in the Playground and Reaper's Kickstarter projects last week, I decided to do a little more research on the subject of Kickstarter, since it is getting so much attention and use in the comic and game field.
Kickstarter launched in 2009 out of frustration co-founder Perry Chen faced when he ran into difficulties promoting a concert and turned to the Internet for funding. Finding lots of interest among internet users wanting to support creative types, Kickstarter started as a way for those interested in art and music to provide support to the artists creating it. Kickstarter supports the company by taking 5% of the proceeds of projects that successfully fund. For those of you that don't like Amazon, grit your teeth when you fund a Kickstarter project as Kickstarter uses Amazon to process pledge payments, with Amazon taking another 3 to 5% of the contributions for the handling. Since launching, Kickstarter has had about 61,000 projects posted to the site and processed over 215 million dollars in pledges but didn't hit its first million dollar funding until this past February, when a proposed solid aluminum iPod dock , originally looking for $75,000, raised $1.4 million. The most successful Kickstarter campaign so far has been for the Pebble, a watch with programmable faces. Pebble Technologies originally sought $100,000 to produce 1,000 of the watches and wound up collecting about $10.3 million, selling about 85,000 watches, enabling the company to add 6 people to its staff within two weeks, tripling the company's size.
The attention garnered by successful Kickstarter projects such as these, and the Reaper and Giant In the Playground projects, obscures the fact that posting a project to Kickstarter is nowise a guarantee of success. In fact, according to Kickstarter, roughly 9% of all projects posted to the site receive zero pledges. Less than 35% of game projects and 32% of publishing projects successfully fund (the most successful category: theater. Over 60% of theater projects launched on the site have successfully hit their funding levels). Very few Kickstarter projects reach levels that attract the attention of the media, with only seven so far breaking the $1 million mark, as far as I can find. The most successful Kickstarter projects fall into two categories, 1) they come from companies that already have a base of support for the project and are able to drive support for the project by pushing it relentlessly to that fan base or 2) technology blogs or other media sources find about the project, view it as novel or innovative, and start talking about it, creating awareness of it among potential funders.
There is also the problem of what happens if a project funds but never gets produced. In the early days of Kickstarter, projects were typically musicians seeking funding from fans so they could produce another album. Today, a Kickstarter project is much more likely a developer seeking funding by preselling a product before producing it. According to the terms of service on Kickstarter, if this happens, the creator is supposed to refund all money to the backers but the company provides no method for doing so on the Website. Since Kickstarter never has the funds for a project, operating solely as a facilitator between creator and funder, the company's position is that it does not give refunds and all negotiations must take place between creator and backer.
According to a recent story on NPR the designer of PopSockets, an iPod case and cord designed not to tangle while dancing, raised about $18,600 from 520 backers last February. Now, the money is gone, spent on legal and manufacturing fees, with no PopSockets to show for it, none likely to appear, and a host of unhappy backers. Creator David Barnett eventually refunded about $1,300 to 40 of them, which only made the 480 unpaid backers even unhappier.
The problem, really, is that Kickstarter is not set up to police itself, similar to eBay in its early days. The site only does cursory investigation of projects before allowing them to post and, while the terms of use do constitute a legal requirement for the creator to produce or refund, there is no mechanism on the site for enforcement. All legal disputes are between creator and backer and, given the size of many pledges, backers likely don't feel it worthwhile to involve the law.
For the moment, Kickstarter is the premier source for crowdfunded projects. However, unless the company develops better mechanisms for policing itself, it likely will lose that position to a similar website that provides stronger protections for funders.

Paula Abdul Breaks Down During 'X Factor' Elimination (VIDEO)
It was between the R&B boy-band Stereo Hogzz and the all-American girl group Lakoda Rayne. Both have been having a hard time identifying with the audience, as the Stereo Hogzz were in the bottom two last week as well.
We all know Paula can get … emotional … but did she not realize what she signed up for? Perhaps she didn't expect her groups to ever be pitted against each other, but it was bound to happen at some point.
As the seconds were ticking down on the clock, you could tell host Steve Jones, who is thought to be the first thing changed for next season, was getting flustered trying not to go overtime. Simon Cowell could clearly see that Paula was having a nervous breakdown, so he stepped in and controlled the situation.
Eventually Paula realized if she abstained, the Stereo Hogzz would immediately go home because judges Nicole Scherzinger and L.A. Reid already voted them off, so she indicated she wanted the Stereo Hogzz to stay to give them a chance and let Simon decide. Simon voted the boy group out and that was that.
Check out the drama for yourself in the video above. She starts breaking down at about 2 minutes in.
What do you think? "Poor Paula" was a worldwide trending topic on Twitter last night. Do you feel bad for her too? Let us know in the comments.

An interesting story in today's NYTimes on the NBC - iVillage acquisition. Particularly interesting to me is the fact that NBC admits it's dogfood doesn't taste so good:
"Most embarrassing, an effort to increase traffic by introducing a syndicated television program, iVillage Live, resulted in a month-to-month drop in visitors to the iVillage Web site."
And it goes on:
"You assume in the beginning that a mention on the Today show will drive tremendous traffic, but it's not that easy...."
We'll see if some great NY Times PR works better for iVillage....

British diving star Tom Daley has named his new diving partner as 17 year-old Max Brick.
Max will replace Blake Aldridge, whose partnership with Tom ended after the Beijing Olympics.
Tom and Max will make their debut together later in April in the World Series competition in Sheffield.
Tom and Blake hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons when it was reported that they fell out after their poor performance at the Beijing Olympics.
Tom and Blake came last in the 10m synchronised diving contest in China.
Tom is said to have got cross with Blake for phoning his mum during the competition and not concentrating on their next dive, while Blake blamed Tom for their disappointing performance.

I have the bt home hub and use wep - I am now aware of the precautions I need to take to stop this happening again but it look like someone has been using my wireless without me knowing. I think this because in the admin pannel the dowloads are much more than I do. Is there any way I can find out some details about this person ?
yep Im aware of that but thats going forwards I am interested in seeing what I can descover going back and looking at whats happenmed
What happend was the hacker decrypted the wep packets using most likely linux.
BRILLIANT! Thank you for the enlightening post.
Hahahaha, yeah, great one!
Is there a log in your router? Check that out
Use this chance to experiment with some tools. You can knowingly leave the AP how it was so the neighbour can come in again and then see what you can discover. Use Wireshark to monitor all the traffic in the network, and maybe also Kismet (or airodump writing only ivs as an easier solution) to have a real time and easy to read activity snapshot. Leave it running in the background and continue your normal life. At the end of the day you could go through the registered traffic to find his MAC address, whatever is not yours, and then filter-out the rest of the traffic to see what has his activity been about. You could also be lucky and be in front of your keyboard when he comes in. Find his IP address and scan his ports to see what's open. Option -O in nmap (or Umit for a graphical user interface) is quite nice also. Try to get to his shared folders. And, at last, you can practise Man-In-The-Middle attacks, tracing his internet activity in silence with ettercap!
All in all, I see the perfect chance for you to join the game. It's like politics, I know he knows that I know... but he thinks I think that I know that he thinks... Use the chance!! Have fun!!
If it was me and someone was on my network without asking me.while he was on, i would use ettercap to get his passwords then i would use aireplay to inject his a$$, then when he's trying to connect i would sign in to all of his accounts give all his friends (if any) $hit then delete his contacts and change his passwords. But im just being nice, there worse things other people would do im sure.
I know a couple of people who run an open ap just for the purpose described by madmanu. It can be an interesting experiment in an apartment complex.
The above article might give you a couple of ideas. Beware of geeks bearing gifts.
Thanks for helping out here guys.
I have had a look round and done some digging after reading what you have said.
I am interested in the use of ettercap to have a look at what he is doing and will leave my network as it is at the moment (although I have changed the default password on the admin pannel!). I have downloaded ettercap and wondered if anyone could advise me a very basic tutorial that I could start with. I will have a look on their forums too but I like to know the basis of what I am talking about before asking questions.
I know about Nmap and Umit and what you use them for but I think that it might be a little too advanced for me at this stage.
One question though, it was mentioned to use aireplay to run an injection but I thought that this "attack" was used as one of the steps to steal a wireless key not as one to prevent unauthorised access.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
I liked it because its calming, and quite. Also I liked it because it dosent have any violence in it, I'm not some blood raving barbarian like some of the people below me. Also it tells alot about life today, lots of people meet just for a second and then they some how fall in love with each other. But then when they stay together longer, they figure out that they don't like each other. But in real life they are usually married. Also, great animation and voices.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This was great. The only problem I had was that the voices were a little hard to understand.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great flash great music great plot great everythin
You know what? That has loads of potential for sequels.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I loved it. Simpley amazing.

i can see that its some sort of drama at the beginning but as the story progresses... it turns out to be good.

Even solar panels will not last forever, so First Solar will provide packing materials, shipping costs and recycling services at no charge after a request for collection. The company claims that they can turn about 90% of each module into raw materials for new ones. Of course, this applies only to their customers but hey, at least they can take care of them so that they do not end up in a landfill. We admire the concept enough to make them our SOW this week.

The Marine Corps has gone green with their Ground Renewable Expeditionary Energy System. It utilizes stackable 1600W panel arrays and deep cycle batteries to reduce the fuel needed for generators and resupplying fuel in remote locations. GREENS supplies a continuous output of 300W up to 1000W of power. Tested at the Naval Air Warfare Center in China Lake, California, it supplied 85% of the energy needed.

India has been steadily rising in the solar PV market. What started out as a 10 member sector a couple of years ago now has 30 module and cell suppliers. The country is looking for investors to produce PV modules and cells, system components, silicon wafers and polysilcion feedstock. In addition to creating, the government is promoting solar energy in the form of solar farms, roof top systems and rural usage to make up for some of their power deficit.

Peng Xiaofeng, CEO of China's LDK Solar, claims that solar power will supply 60% of the planet's energy supply 100 years from now. He believes that existing energy sources, such as oil, will run out. The Chinese government wants 20% of their power to come from renewable energy by 2020.
LDK is located in Xinyu, now nicknamed 'Solar Power City,' and also houses most of its 14,000 employees. Peng also says that people underrate the cleaner energy and we have to agree.

Roger Efird, chairman of the Solar Energy Industries Association and Managing Director for Suntech America, has predicted that the US solar market will double this year. His reasoning is that it has become affordable for middle class families and believes that installed capacity could reach 1GW in 2010.
CEO of Acro Energy Technologies Harry Fleming claims that the average cost of a 5 kilowatt power system in California has fallen $6,000 in the past year and a half, and should drop another three by the end of the year with incentives. Acro is adding to the savings by offering 4 months of solar electricity free if you sign with them before March 1.

We extol the virtues of going solar, but do you ever stop to think about what impact that has in saving money and energy? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a list of 2009 Energy Star Leaders. There were 58 organizations listed that saved more than $48 million total, 4 times the amount of the previous year. That equaled out to reducing emissions by 220,000 metric tons, equal to usage by 39,000 homes.
Most of the Energy Star Leaders were school districts, but there were others on the list as well, including Stop & Shop in Massachusetts and NY Presbyterian Hospital. To qualify, an organization must have reduced their energy use by 10%. There are now more than 100 organizations that have joined the list.

California once more takes center stage in becoming green by their Public Utilities Commission offering a $350 million rebate program coupled with a 30% Federal tax credit for those who install solar hot water heaters. The CPUC is hoping for a total of 300,000 installations over the next 8 years that will save 6 million cubic feet of natural gas and 3 million kilowatt hours of electricity yearly. The average household rebate should be about $1,500 with larger ones for businesses and multi-family buildings.
