All the good from that late-December/early-January run is being undone now. It's six losses in eight games, with only five of a possible 16 points gained.
1) Don't know about you (actually I do), but haven't we seen enough of Drury and Rozsival on the power-play points? Isn't it time to put Kotalik back in the lineup, even if he only plays the PP point? What's the worst that could happen? During those nearly six minutes of consecutive PP in the third period last night, we saw Rozsival fail to keep a puck in at the point, commit an icing; we saw Drury get shot after shot blocked; we saw the Penguins get three (I believe) shots on goal to the Rangers' seven, including a semi-breakaway. Could Kotalik do worse than that? How bad could it be?
2) I don't know how many times the Rangers' fourth line has been on the ice against Sidney Crosby this season (the Rangers are 0-4 vs. the Pens, by the way) but it has happened far too often. If it happens once, that's too often.
3) Vinny Prospal had his worst game as a Ranger. Watch the replay of the winning goal. That's all him. Originally I thought that the goal occurred because both Rozsival and Staal were on the same side of the net, and they were, but that's because Rozsival was taking care of Crosby. Then I thought it was Dubinsky's man — but I had my doubts when Dubinsky wouldn't own up to it in the post-game lockerroom. So I watched it again. Prospal glided down the slot and let Conner get away from him.
4) The battle level was a lot better than it was in Montreal. That's not saying much.
5) I guess Anisimov saw that story about how he should be sent to the minors. Seriously, he's fine where he is, playing a third-line role and developing. And if he gets on a little roll, maybe he slides up to the first or second line.
6) I cannot believe how many Penguins fans were in the building, not to mention how many Islanders fans the last time the teams played, and how many Devils fans the last time the teams played, and how many Flyers fans the last time the teams played. Add to that the number of first-time fans who somehow got tickets at every single game, and that's why the crowds are so average-to-dull, and why there's so little actual fury in the building when things go bad. One game recently, the Rangers scored a goal and the cameras panned the crowd and a bunch of "Rangers fans" were sitting in their seats clapping. Sitting!
7) Saw an interesting move by a guy sitting near the pressbox, which is over the Zamboni entrance. When the game ended he took off his Rangers jersey and clapped for the Penguins and told them what a great game they had played, in an attempt to get a stick from one of them.
8) It seems the worse the losses get, or the more they pile up, the funnier you guys get. Last night might have been the most hysterical thread yet … and one of the biggest in terms of traffic.

Apple Earnings Worry Investors; Stock Falls 10 Percent

Apple's profit is flat due to higher manufacturing costs
While Apple managed to surpass analysts' profit forecasts for the fiscal 2013 first quarter, the company's stock took a tumble as investors worry over Apple's
ability to maintain steady growth
with new products.
Apple reported a revenue of $54.5 billion for the quarter ended December 29, 2012, compared to $46.33 billion in the year-ago quarter. The tech giant just missed analyst expectations of $54.73 billion.
Apple also earned a net profit of $13.1 billion ($13.81 a share) compared to $13.1 billion ($13.87 a share) a year ago. Profit clearly remained pretty flat, but it exceeded analysts' expectations of $13.44 a share.
The iDevice maker also noted that it had record iPhone sales for the quarter at 47.8 million (compared to 37 million in the year-ago quarter). It also had an uptick in iPad sales, from 15.4 million in the year ago quarter to 22.9 million in the most recent quarter.
"We're thrilled with record revenue of over $54 billion and sales of over 75 million iOS devices in a single quarter," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "We're very confident in our product pipeline as we continue to focus on innovation and making the best products in the world."
While Apple did okay for the quarter, investors are concerned with the company's flat profit due to higher manufacturing costs and also worry whether Apple can keep up its momentum with product popularity. Many new devices are hitting the market at lower prices and offer newer, better features. For instance, the
iPad's market share was bested by Google's Nexus 7 tablet
in Japan mainly due to cost differences.
Apple's stock has lost nearly 25 percent of its value since September 2012 ($170 billion in market value).
In after-hours trading today, Apple's stock fell over 10 percent.
Looking forward to fiscal 2013 second quarter, Apple expects a revenue of between $41 billion and $43 billion.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Apple had
cut iPhone screen and component orders by 50 percent
for t
he first quarter of 2013.
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Just a quick question - I have a couple of different iFrames (containing external content) within a responsive layout and am wondering how do I get around the problem of the iFrame not scrolling/interacting in the mobile/tablet breakpoint?Example link
If you mean the actual content inside the iframe then you can't change that content as it doesn't belong to you
The only way to change the style of the html in an iframe is by adjusting the css in the page that the html belongs to. An iframe is basically a window that lets you see outside your site. You can't change the view by changing the window.
If the iframe content is hosted on your own site and you have access to the css then you would need to design the page in a responsive manner so that it fits the viewport accordingly.
Hi Paul,Sorry I think I may not have been clear in my question - I am aware that the content in the iFrame belongs to a third party, what I meant was when you view the page on a mobile screen - the iFrame scrollbars are not visible and therefore the user can not even scroll the content within the iFrame left/right/up/down. Is there something I can do so they can? Thx.
ikandee, when I reduce the size of my desktop screen to mobile size, the iframe's scrollbars are still present. Is this what you see, also? In which mobile devices are the scrollbars not visible?
It seems to be happening on the iPhone and iPads... (blackberry and andriod are ok)
As far as I know the iphone doesn't show scrollbars on any internal elements and to scroll inside an overflow div you need to use [a two finger swipe. There is a script called [URL="http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4"]iscroll](http://www.flickr.com/photos/joostvanderborg/3240775419/) which should address the issue although I;ve never used it.
Hi Paul - thanks I will take a look through it.

Arrest made in Ardenwood shooting
Baton Rouge police arrested a suspect in the fatal Tuesday night shooting of Kedrick Ricard outside of an apartment complex on North Ardenwood Drive.
Police identified the suspect Wednesday morning as Eric Johnson, 25, and arrested him later in the day in the 3200 block of Plank Road, said Cpl. L'Jean McKneely, a police spokesman.
Police located Johnson, of 1844 Gayosa Ave., after receiving an anonymous Crime Stoppers tip. He was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison Wednesday on counts of second-degree murder and illegal use of a weapon.
The shooting remains under investigation, and the details that led to it remain unclear, McKneely said.
However, a cousin of Ricard's girlfriend said Tuesday night that Ricard, 28, and other family members heard a couple arguing while walking along a sidewalk near the Renaissance Gateway apartments in the 600 block of North Ardenwood Drive. Ricard looked at the couple, which did not sit well with the man who was arguing with the woman, the girlfriend's cousin said.
The man arguing with the woman then pulled out a handgun, walked behind the group and began firing wildly, he said.
Ricard was at the apartment complex dropping off diapers to his girlfriend for their three young children.
Anyone with information on the shooting may contact the East Baton Rouge Violent Crimes Unit at (225) 389-4869 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867.
One accused of driving while intoxicated
Authorities arrested at least one person suspected of driving while intoxicated in East Baton Rouge Parish and booked him into Parish Prison between 2:30 p.m. Wednesday and 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
- Daniel Wilson, 28, of 5156 Creek Valley, Slaughter, was booked into Parish Prison Thursday for first-offense DWI, speeding and possession of alcohol in vehicle, booking records show.
Homeless man accused in stabbing
Police say a homeless man stabbed a man in the 1300 block of Florida Boulevard in the early morning hours of May 31 after the man refused to hand over his money.
The victim was taken to the hospital with a stab wound to the chest from a small pocket knife, according to the arrest warrant.
A woman saw Terrance Curtis, 53, running away soon after the stabbing, police said.
Curtis, of 227 N. 13th St., was booked into Parish Prison Thursday on a count of attempted second-degree murder.

HOUSTON - Stores pull out all the stops and offer big deals for the biggest shopping day of the year -- the day after Thanksgiving, also known as Black Friday. Some stores are also hoping freebies and gimmicks will draw in even more people.
USA Today found the following Black Friday freebies.
- Digital Cameras: Old Navy will be handing out Kodak EasyShare Sport digital cameras and other freebies worth about $100 to a very limited number of shoppers who purchase at least $40 in merchandise at its 1,100 U.S. stores. A spokeswoman would not reveal how many cameras will be given out.
- Snow globes: J.C. Penney will hand out Disney snow globes to shoppers. The snow globes feature Mickey Mouse with a wreath.
- Ornaments: Sears will hand out free Thomas Kinkade collectible ornaments to the first 200 shoppers who make purchases of clothing, intimate apparel or accessories. Each store is also given 13-inch Craftsman tool bags (retail value $9.99) to the first 60 customers who buy $20 worth of tools.
- Coffee: Seattle's Best is offering free coffee to Black Friday workers. The first 100,000 who reach out via its Facebook page will be sent free samples.
- Parking Lot Movies: Best Buy is putting up giant screens in parking lots at 123 of its stores where it will show Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at 9 p.m. on Thursday to those waiting in Black Friday lines. It also will feed folks popcorn and Coke. The store said it wants to make an event of it.
- Shirtless Greeters: Abercrombie & Fitch is offering some eye candy. At midnight as Black Friday begins, it will place its famed, shirtless male greeters at every U.S. Abercrombie and Hollister store. A spokesman said, "They are iconic symbols of our brand."

SANFORD, Fla. - Six years after it was approved, and a year and a half after construction began, the first Sunrail train car is on the tracks right now in Sanford, and commuter rail is getting ready to roll.
It's due to start next May, from Sand Lake Road in Orlando to Debary. By 2016 it will stretch north to Deland and south to Poinciana.
There are big bets this train could reshape central Florida.
Sky 6 flew over Sanford, where the first Sunrail cab car arrived from New York. Outside of the cab car, you can see what will be a two story ride. Inside, it can seat about 132 people, and fit up to 337 riders.
The cab car will also have the ability the drive the train. Still missing are the locomotives and coach cars.
The progress is not only exciting for the developers, but those who'll be using it everyday.
Jeff Sanchez, who lives in Lake Mary, said, "It'll help people with jobs. People who can't drive can take a train, and then a bus to where they need to be."
As construction starts winding down along the rail line, and each of the eventual 17 stops, the focus now turns to what people will see around the station.
Most likely you've seen the work that's being done at the Sunrail stations, but what may not be as visible are the projects in the works, and in Lake Mary, developers are talking luxury apartments, restaurants and shops.
Across from the Lake Mary stop, there isn't much now.
"200 unit luxury apartment project, shops, retail, restaurants," said Lake Mary Development Director John Omana.
They're even looking at an amphitheater. The idea seems to look good on paper.
"As planners, we have to dream big, and you have to start somewhere," said Omana.
When the Sunrail starts rolling through next year, people will notice their city looking a little different, but some parts will be looking a lot different.
"As we speak, it is happening," said Omana, as he points to the construction already happening.
It's a way to attract people to work, play, and live in Lake Mary. First up is Station House, luxury apartments that could soon come up alongside the Sunrail stop. But, how successful could luxury apartments be next to a rail line?
"If it's by shopping and good restaurants, then that would be great," said Sandra Sigourney, who lives in Lake Mary.
Developers believe it will work, and people say the area, for now, is attractive. Other stops like Winter Park and Maitland are hoping the Sunrail station becomes a catalyst for growth.
"Will it all happen? I'm not going to sit here and tell you that it will, but you have got to start somewhere," said Omana.
Lake Mary even wants to put up a kiosk so residents can drop off their utility bills and hop on the train.

And here's Kirk Cameron again.
Because Jesus wouldn't waste free publicity, Kirk Cameron issued People the following statement regarding the suicide of his Growing Pains co-star Andrew Koenig:
"It is with great sorrow to hear about the final outcome of the search for my old friend Andrew. I hope everyone will be sensitive to the Koenigs and give the family some private time to reflect and to grieve the loss of their beloved son. At a time like this, we all are reminded of the briefness of life and the importance of being ready for our eternal destination. My prayers will continue to be with Andrew's family."
Listen, what happened to Andrew Koenig was, no question, tragic for his family. I couldn't even imagine. But let's be honest, nobody cared about Boner from Growing Pains until this week and now he's become an excuse for a bunch of people to pretend they're hyper-sensitive human beings with their "Oh, I'm hollow inside."; "My heart skipped a beat" and other fake sympathies. Even worse, you've got Kirk Cameron capitalizing on the death of "an old friend" he apparently never talked to just to push the oldest swindle known to man: Claiming to know what happens when you die.
I'm not trying to get on a soapbox here, but what I am trying to say is Hilary Duff needs to blow someone in front of the paparazzi again. I'm not guaranteeing that will help. But, dammit, we have to try.

A security grid was a system in place aboard starships, space stations, and other installations that was responsible for monitoring and maintaining the various systems designed to protect the crew from potentially hostile incursions.
In the 22nd century, the capital city on Vulcan was protected by an extensive security grid, prohibiting the use of transporters without a proper access codes. In 2154, Starfleet captain Jonathan Archer and T'Pau were able to obtain the proper codes from Koss, the husband of Commander T'Pol, Archer's first officer. Gaining access to the chambers of the Vulcan High Command, Archer and T'Pau were able to present the Kir'Shara, a copy of Surak's original teachings. (ENT: "Kir'Shara")
In 2370, Quark circumvented Deep Space 9's security grid to allow access by Yeto, a Klingon mercenary with whom Quark had made a deal for the sale of liquid data chains. It was soon revealed, however, that the deal was simply a ruse to gain access to the Dax symbiont. (DS9: "Invasive Procedures")
In 2376, the crews of the USS Voyager and the USS Equinox collaborated to create an auto-initiating security grid meant to confine any attacking nucleogenic lifeform behind a multiphasic force field the moment one emerged from an interspatial fissure. Before the grid was brought online, however, the Equinox crew stole Voyager's field generator and integrated it into their own systems, for the purpose of continuing their criminal experiments of murdering the lifeforms and converting their remains into a source of fuel. (VOY: "Equinox")
In 2377, the crew of Voyager developed a plan to introduce a nanovirus into the Borg Collective by uploading it into the central plexus of a class-four tactical cube. However, since the central plexus of the cube was protected by multi-regenerative security grids, this necessitated the boarding party allowing themselves to be assimilated into the Collective, thereby allowing them access to the plexus. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero")

Mobic suspension is an NSAID. Exactly how it works is not known. It may block certain substances in the body that are linked to inflammation. NSAIDs treat the symptoms of pain and inflammation. They do not treat the disease that causes those symptoms.
Do NOT use Mobic suspension if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Mobic suspension
- you have had a severe allergic reaction (eg, severe rash, hives, trouble breathing, growths in the nose, dizziness) to aspirin or an NSAID (eg, ibuprofen, celecoxib)
- you have recently had or will be having bypass heart surgery
- you have a peptic ulcer
- you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy
- you are having problems becoming pregnant or you are having your fertility checked
- you take sodium polystyrene sulfonate
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Mobic suspension:
Some medical conditions may interact with Mobic suspension. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of kidney or liver disease, diabetes, stomach or bowel problems (eg, bleeding, perforation, ulcers), or Helicobacter pylori infection
- if you have a history of swelling or fluid buildup, asthma, growths in the nose (nasal polyps), or mouth inflammation
- if you have high blood pressure, blood disorders, bleeding or clotting problems, heart problems (eg, heart failure), or blood vessel disease, or if you are at risk for any of these diseases
- if you have poor health, dehydration or low fluid volume, or low blood sodium levels, you drink alcohol or smoke, or you have a history of alcohol abuse
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Mobic suspension. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin), antiplatelet medicines (eg, clopidogrel), apixaban, aspirin, bisphosphonates (eg, alendronate), corticosteroids (eg, prednisone), dabigatran, desirudin, heparin, rivaroxaban, or serotonin reuptake inhibitors (eg, fluoxetine) because the risk of stomach bleeding may be increased
- Sodium polystyrene sulfonate because a serious and possibly fatal bowel problem (intestinal necrosis) may occur
- Probenecid because it may increase the risk of Mobic suspension's side effects
- Cholestyramine because it may decrease Mobic suspension's effectiveness
- Cyclosporine, lithium, methotrexate, pemetrexed, quinolones (eg, ciprofloxacin), or sulfonylureas (eg, glipizide) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by Mobic suspension
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (eg, enalapril), angiotensin receptor blockers (eg, losartan), or diuretics (eg, furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide) because their effectiveness may be decreased by Mobic suspension and the risk of kidney problems may be increased
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Mobic suspension may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Mobic suspension:
Use Mobic suspension as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Mobic suspension comes with an extra patient information sheet called a Medication Guide. Read it carefully. Read it again each time you get Mobic suspension refilled.
- Take Mobic suspension by mouth. It may be taken with food if it upsets your stomach. Taking it with food may not lower the risk of stomach or bowel problems (eg, bleeding, ulcers).
- Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist for help if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.
- Shake gently before each use.
- Take Mobic suspension with a full glass of water (8 oz/240 mL) as directed by your doctor.
- If you take cholestyramine, ask your doctor or pharmacist how to take it with Mobic suspension.
- If you miss a dose of Mobic suspension, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Mobic suspension.
Important safety information:
- Mobic suspension may cause dizziness. This effect may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Mobic suspension with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Serious stomach ulcers or bleeding can occur with the use of Mobic suspension. Taking it in high doses or for a long time, smoking, or drinking alcohol increases the risk of these side effects. Taking Mobic suspension with food will NOT reduce the risk of these effects. Contact your doctor or emergency room at once if you develop severe stomach or back pain; black, tarry stools; vomit that looks like blood or coffee grounds; or unusual weight gain or swelling.
- Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or use for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Mobic suspension has an NSAID in it. Before you start any new medicine, check the label to see if it has an NSAID (eg, ibuprofen) in it too. If it does or if you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Do not take aspirin while you are using Mobic suspension unless your doctor tells you to.
- NSAIDs, including Mobic suspension, may be associated with a reversible delay in ovulation in women. This may affect the ability to become pregnant. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
- Lab tests, including kidney function, complete blood cell counts, and blood pressure, may be performed while you use Mobic suspension. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use Mobic suspension with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially stomach bleeding and kidney problems.
- Caution is advised when using Mobic suspension in CHILDREN; they may be more sensitive to its effects, especially diarrhea, fever, headache, stomach pain, and vomiting.
- Mobic suspension should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 2 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been determined.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: Mobic suspension may cause harm to the fetus. Do not use it during the last 3 months of pregnancy. If you think you may be pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Mobic suspension while you are pregnant. It is not known if this medicine is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking Mobic suspension.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/12/2012 (1712 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BRISBANE -- Australia appears to have spent the week shouldering a collective sense of guilt over a simple radio hoax gone horribly wrong.
Aussie broadcasters Mel Greig and Michael Christian are in the global village stocks this week, and social media is throwing more than just rotting fruit their way.
The whole affair is almost too hideous to contemplate -- lives destroyed by a simple, adolescent attempt at humour.
The hosts are now internationally infamous after purporting to be Queen Elizabeth II and calling up the hospital where the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was recovering from morning sickness.
It was Mel who asked how the "daughter-in-law's little tummy bug'' was going.
Before the tragic suicide of nurse Jacintha Saldanha, who had accepted the call as genuine, the joke was one of those mildly-funny-but-didn't-quite-hit-the mark affairs.
The lame attempt to mimic the Queen's accent was only slightly less appalling than the fake corgis barking in the background.
Greig and Christian went on a national current affairs show Monday night to claim they were stunned when their call was put through to the hospital ward -- the planned punchline was being hung up on.
Many Australians have expressed sympathy for the family of Saldanha and for the two hapless announcers.
The radio hoax is part of Australian culture. It's a minor evolutionary advance from the old prank telephone call and a close relative of the whoopee cushion in the hierarchy of humour.
But in a country not known for its deference for the powerful and privileged, it's also an accepted form of satire, provided it's designed to capture the instigator in the general frame of stupidity while not seriously humiliating or denigrating the target.
Australia has history in this genre. One of our most famous comics in the 1970s was "Norman Gunston'' -- a bumbling fool created by actor Gary McDonald who falsely presented himself to visiting celebrities as a serious journalist to create cringe-inducing, but often hysterical, mayhem.
That Greig and Christian don't possess the satirical genius of McDonald might be the only charge laid against them but for the catastrophe that followed.
Whatever the reasons for Saldanha's death, the pair is now being openly accused of being responsible for it.
Following Monday night's tearful expressions of regret in the 21st-century equivalent of the confessional box (a television interview) they then participated in a public act of contrition.
Their radio station's parent company, Southern Cross Austereo, will donate profits from advertising until year's end to Saldanha's family with a minimum of $500,000 expected to be raised.
Social media has provided the forum for vicious attacks on the pranksters, who are themselves in a fragile emotional state.
While Saldanha's death will be investigated and no conclusions can yet be drawn, it's fair to speculate some of the online commentary calling her a "stupid nurse for taking the call'' may have played a role in exacerbating her anxiety.
The venting of almost hysterical fury at Greig and Christian on Twitter and Facebook is equally thoughtless and, potentially, just as destructive.
Almost every good-humoured practical joke has the capacity to misfire at some level. And most of us are aware a lack of "intent" is recognized as mitigation not only in our everyday social interactions, but in almost every legal framework on the planet.
But while few have the moral right to cast the first stone in this sad story, a quarry full of rocks will continue to be hurled towards Australia for some time yet.

A one-in-1000 flood around the Hawkesbury Nepean, such as that in Queensland early last year, would cause up to $8 billion in total damages affecting 14,000 homes and requires urgent preventative measures, according to a group of 10 western Sydney councils.
A one in 1000 flood is one that has a 0.1 per cent chance of happening each year.
The Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils last night called on the state government urgently to address threats of potential floods around the Hawkesbury Nepean.
A repeat of the 1867 flood would cause up to $1.7 billion in direct damages and $3 billion in total damages, the group said.
"This would affect an estimated 7600 homes, with about 1200 of those destroyed, WSROC president Tony Hadchiti said.
Flood prevention measures could include raising the wall of the Warragamba Dam, which filled to capacity in March, spilling water over the wall.
Infrastructure NSW last month backed the implementation of Hawkesbury Nepean Flood Plain mitigation measures as a key recommendation of its 20-year strategy "First Things First".
Cr Hadchiti said the flooding was a serious concern for key western Sydney councils including Liverpool, Penrith, Blacktown and Hawkesbury.
"Our councils have been calling for action on this issue for years," he said.
A study carried out as part of the strategy had shown there were 21,000 residential buildings on the floodplain – 5000 more than previously thought, and that an additional 143 hectares of commercial and industrial property had been built since 1990, he said.
He said: "A flood of this magnitude would put 43,000 residents and 9000 employees of local business at risk.
"These are risks that we simply cannot afford to take and the NSW government needs to act on these recommendations as a matter of urgency."
The issue was also raised at last week's Local Government and Shires Associations conference in Dubbo with calls to both the NSW and federal governments for a study to determine the potential threat.
WSROC vice-president, Tiffany Tree, who is also the deputy mayor of Hawkesbury, said she strongly supported the need for action to fund key mitigation initiatives such as raising the dam wall.
"This is important because, although individual councils have conducted their own studies, we need an overall regional assessment in order to be truly effective,'' she said.
In his book Hawkesbury Heritage, Stan Stevens wrote that the 1867 flood "from Riverstone to the Blue Mountains, and from Pitt Town to Kurrajong extended a vast inland sea dotted only by the islands of Windsor, Richmond and Pitt Town.
"Many residents of the Lowlands, as they were being taken to safety, watched heartbroken as uprooted trees, broken furniture and other debris smashed into their homes, pounding against walls and even caused some buildings to be swept off their foundations."
Residents all over the Hawkesbury, clinging to roofs of their homes, fired gunshots to alert rescuers in boats to their location, he said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/10/2012 (1774 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
1. Will the real Joey Elliott please stand up?
The Bombers quarterback looked masterful in a 27-22 win in Montreal last week. His numbers were great -- 335 yards, 3 TDs -- but it was the poise he showed in running the offence and overcoming adversity that was perhaps most impressive.
Elliott was rewarded with player of the week honours, just as he was in August after a 406-yard showing against Hamilton. But in between the feasts, it's been famine for Elliott, who went five games between player of the week honours without so much as a touchdown pass.
So, what is it? Is Elliott the kind of game-breaking quarterback who can dominate CFL defences, like he did against Hamilton and Montreal? Or is he in so far over his head that the time between his touchdown passes is measured in months.
Today should provide some clarity as Elliott takes on a man-to-man defence that provides him with fewer bailout options than Montreal's zone defence.
2. Can a team that was drilled 44-3 come back and beat the same opponent?
The Bombers were throttled at McMahon Stadium on Sept. 14 by a Calgary team that so dominated in them in every aspect of the game, the only question by night's end was whether the horse on the sidelines would need a glucose drip.
So, were there any lessons learned that night? "We got our ass kicked, that's all we could take from that game," Bombers slotback Terrence Edwards said Friday. "We got beat down and took behind the shed. And we don't want to feel like that again."
Better than nothing.
3. What effect will all the moving parts in the Bombers lineup this week have on their performance?
With injuries last week in Montreal to defensive linemen Bryant Turner and Alex Hall and receivers Cory Watson and Kito Poblah, the Bombers will have a completely remade defensive line and aerial corps this week.
With Watson definitely out and Poblah expected to be out, expect to see non-import Rory Kohlert and import Kurt Adams both start. The addition of an extra American to the receiving corps in turn creates a ratio issue that the club intends to address by starting non-import defensive end Fernand Kashama in Hall's spot on what had been an all-American defensive line. Import J.T. Gilmore will get the start in place of Turner.
4. Can the Bombers -- finally -- contain Nik Lewis?
The Rubenesque Calgary slotback, who claims to be the only receiver in history to record 1,000-yard seasons in eight different weight classes, feasted on the Bomber defence as usual in the 44-3 victory, recording seven catches for 131 yards as he went over 10,000 career receiving yards that night.
What was hyped coming in as a showdown between Lewis and Bombers strong-side linebacker Jovon Johnson proved to be a hopeless mismatch as Lewis ran all over -- and, a couple of times, right through -- Johnson and the Bombers defence.
"I've never seen a receiver as big as him as athletic as he is," Johnson said Friday. "The plays that he can make, the problems that he causes -- I've never seen a guy as big as him that can create such a mismatch for defensive backs the way he does."
5. New life after a death-row pardon?
It seems almost unfathomable that after everything that has befallen this Bombers team this season, they are still very much in the playoff hunt after last week's win in Montreal. But it's true, with several plausible paths to the post-season available to them in the final four weeks of the regular season.
So, the question of the day: Having stared into the abyss and been issued a second chance at life, will this team make the most of it? Or will they just plunge right back over that same ledge?

How to Use Texting to Spice Up Your Love Life
You're glued to your phone all day anyways, so why not use it to bring back the romance in your relationship?
-Faye Brennan
When you're single, every little text from someone you like makes you smile. But, when you're in a relationship, messages like "Have a great day. I love you," lose their impact if you send them every… single… day.
That's why Relationship Coach Michael Fiore started the website, Text The Romance Back. He believes that, when used correctly, texting can be the best way for couples to "renew [their] connection to one another and communicate the things [they] struggle to say face-to-face."
Read Real Women Share: Dating Horror Stories: What Was I Thinking?
So, how do you reignite the spark in your relationship using your cell phone? Fiore offers these tips:
1. Use visual language.
We've heard before that men are visual creatures, so use this to your advantage when you're texting. "Guys are not always as emotionally complex as women and are a lot more blunt in their communication," says Fiore. "If you want your guy to give you the romance and attention you crave, you've got to speak his language first." Send a photo of you smiling, or vividly describe what you'll be wearing when he comes home later.

Pershing 62 — By Alan Harper —
January 2005
Rocket Cruiser
Pershing's 62 is part motoryacht, part muscle boat, and all about the drive.
They named the company after the missile, not the general, and you can see why. In more than 20 years there hasn't been a Pershing motoryacht that wasn't fast, sleek, and powerful, and the 62 upholds this tradition. Sometimes, the marine equivalent of a tactical nuclear weapon is the best tool for the job.
It was on a late-September morning at around 1500 rpm that this analogy somehow seemed most appropriate. On flat-calm seas in the Gulf of Genoa off Italy, easing the throttles forward gingerly was having the desired effect. There had to be at least 2,500 hp left. Where was it?
Then the turbochargers woke up. There was little appreciable increase in sound levels, and the handling didn't feel any different, but something was definitely happening. The water seemed to be going past a little faster, but it was so flat it was hard to be sure. Then a glance at the GPS told the rest of the story. Unable to keep up, the hapless electronic navigator seemed to be suffering from flashbacks—not to selective availability, but selective credibility. Its every update registered velocity increases that would have seemed wildly improbable if the log hadn't been there to back them up. Our speed had nearly tripled in 20 seconds, and yet with my right hand still resting lightly on the throttle levers, I could see that the tachometer needles hadn't yet reached the 2000 mark.
In fact, there was still plenty left for the engines to give: 300 more revolutions, more with the drives trimmed up—perhaps ten additional knots. And suddenly, there it was, with the GPS and log finally in agreement: 45 knots flickering up towards 46, as our silver-hull missile flew straight and level over the rich, blue Mediterranean Sea. This, I remembered, is what it's all about.
To get 30 tons of boat up and running at this speed with so little fuss and no creaks and groans from structure or fittings is not just a matter of horsepower. The boat felt solid. I swung the wheel from side to side, and the 62 followed every move with a gentle bank, like a willing thoroughbred keen to show what it can do. At 40 knots I hauled the wheel hard over, turn over turn, and the 62 banked into the curve like an F-16. The only thing visible out of my side window was sea: To gauge our progress and keep an eye out for other boats, I tilted my head to look up through the open hardtop, and halfway 'round the circle our own wake came into view, no more than 100 yards away. The keel gripped, the props bit, and as we completed the circle I checked the log again: 30 knots. Not bad at all.
And, of course, immense fun for the helmsman: Pershing prides itself on building drivers' boats. You can tell by the single, macho helm seat on the 62 that it was designed with the sporting client in mind. He certainly won't be disappointed, but as I was to discover, Pershing has been thinking of his family, too. There is much more to this boat than power and performance, just as there is much more to Pershing's design philosophy than the trademark external curvature that has proved so influential. You find it expressed in the simplest ideas: the electrically adjustable backs on the forward passenger seats, for example, which transform the outer one into an irresistible chaise lounge. There is also a huge LCD TV stowed behind the cockpit sofa, which doesn't just rise into view in the usual way. You can swing it around on its stainless steel support to face its audience in the saloon or even turn it 180 degrees to face the cockpit on fine evenings. The elegant simplicity of those cockpit seats is another example: They lift to reveal liferaft stowage space, and with the hydraulic table between them lowered, the whole area over the garage becomes one big sunpad.
Next page > Part 2: For all her horsepower and dreamlike handling abilities, the 62 is, in fact, also intended as a docile and trustworthy cruising machine. > Page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
This article originally appeared in the December 2004 issue of Power & Motoryacht magazine.

They do the same with regular sized iPads.
The ripping off is old news most companies do that...
there will always be cheaper products in the market. apple could charge its users 1000$ for an ipad mini and still find people to buy it. its choice over what the actual cost is. you can't call them stupid. If you had that kind of money you would throw it around too.
Last time i checked business' are in business to make money. What they make off a product is what it is, as its the consumers choice to buy it. Yes I think its overpriced. I was hoping for $299 at the most. Yet im far from shocked with the extra $30 added on. You either buy it or you don't..babies cry adults buy hahahaha!
if its only $188 where can i buy the parts to build it myself?
the pricemarkup is also to cover the 1 year warranty guys

Displays such as these had participants wondering if they were just mannequins or if they were real — ready to jump out and scare them.
Shrieks and giggles filled the Harmony Community Center's gym for the 13 nights prior to and including Halloween where a host of community spirits created an elaborate Haunted House as a fundraiser for the Fillmore Central High School's Music Department.
The First Annual Monster Bash Haunted House was a huge success in many ways, organizers reported. The money raised exceeded the funding goal while garnering a high level of community support from students, parents, community members and businesses from throughout the entire Fillmore Central School District.
Once the project was announced, people stepped forward and shared their time, talents and resources to pull together a final project that far surpassed original expectations.
The true "Mastermind" behind the event was Harmony resident, Jay Masters.
He explained that he has enjoyed the dramatic side of Halloween for most of his life and dabbled with creating a haunted house at his home at Halloween the past few years.
Recognizing the popularity and fundraising possibilities of Halloween Haunted Houses, Masters approached Fillmore Central's band director, Lane Powell, to promote the concept.
The timing was right as the Fillmore Central Band and Chorus had recently been chosen to perform at Disney World at Orlando, Fla., in June of 2014. This trip will require a large fundraising effort.
Masters and Lane Powell, along with the other music department teachers, Jessica Powell and Sarah Holton, formed a leadership group to explore the concept.
Masters was inspired and spent hours gathering ideas from friends and researching online for more inspiration. Ideas were written down and then reviewed carefully for appropriateness. These ideas were then put into three piles: yes, maybe and no.
Once the no pile was cleared, Lane and Masters once again reviewed the maybe pile and after more careful consideration re-categorized these additional ideas.
Masters took these mutually approved ideas and carefully designed on graph paper the best flow pattern for walking through the haunted house. Once approval for use of the community center's gym space was obtained, the haunted house project was ready to take off.
Masters' house design was based on rooms and hallway concepts. Lane reviewed the plans for the electrical needs of each space. Design, implementation concepts and suggested material lists were created for each space and placed into manila envelopes to distribute among volunteers.
It was time to take the fundraising project to the music parents so a meeting was called. By the time the ambitious project was explained to the parents, the envelopes for the sections of the haunted house were quickly claimed. The ball started really rolling as more people heard about the project and offered their skills.
Solicitation letters were sent out to businesses within the school district for monetary donations to cover needed start-up costs and over 80 local businesses, groups and individuals contributed. Those sponsors were honored on signage at the haunted house and on the back of t-shirts.
Originally designed t-shirts were ordered and their sales were another funding source. The shirts rapidly became the local fashion must-have. Businesses ordered shirts for all their employees to wear to help promote the event. Harmony Telephone Company helped out by selling early tickets and shirts in the weeks before. The Harmony Telephone Company also printed up flyers to promote the event in the local phone bills as well as providing enough to be placed all over the region to advertise.
A system of record keeping was developed to track the hours of work the students contributed, which will be converted into monetary credit towards their individual trip costs.
Artistry is said to be found in the details and the details of this event were amazing. Crews of people put in hours and hours of painting, construction and finishing of the structure. There were 100 pieces needed just to form the wooden walls.
The Haunted House included a large cemetery with comical headstones and a roaming ghost, tilt floors, a live werewolf in a cage, an endless hallway created with mirrors, the "Mad Scientist," the electric chair and guillotine, the "Splatter Room," a portrait wall, a ghost car, a visit with Frankenstein's Monster and many other details.
More people came forward to help sell the tickets and shirts at the door. Baked goods were donated for the concessions at the end of the haunted house tour. Actors committed to performing during the run of the fundraiser, a few appeared all 13 nights of the event!
Chris Skaalen, president of First Southeast Bank, portrayed a convincing mad scientist all 13 nights!
Marketing efforts through all free sources were pursued. A Facebook page and webpage were created. Television, newspaper and radio community calendars were tapped and word of mouth invites brought visitors from all over the region. People traveled from La Crosse, Winona, Rochester, St Charles, Decorah and Waukon.
Visitors who toured were impressed with the haunted house. Many commented on how elaborate and well made it was.
Masters was told by one visitor, "Yours is better than the others."
Even though the haunted house is gone now, quickly taken apart and stored for next year, next year's plan includes new displays and new surprises that will be worth waiting for.
The materials will be reused and repurposed in a different manner for the 2013 Monster Bash.
While it was a huge effort, most of the participants said they really enjoyed volunteering and enjoyed seeing the reactions of those who came through the scary displays.
The total money raised is still to be determined as there are a few bills still outstanding. Masters conservatively puts the current estimated total at over $8,000.
When asked if he was glad they did it, Lane Powell stated, "Very much so! I hope to make it an annual event. The parent and student involvement was incredible... the whole community involvement was amazing!"
Masters was deeply moved by the level of support. He said "...Absolutely enjoyed it. So many people helped out! I just want to thank everybody who was involved."

A water spout and 100km/hr winds buffeted Bribie Island on Sunday afternoon as thunderstorms made their way across South East Queensland.
Residents say the water spout was huge, and Bureau of Meteorology Senior Forecaster Andrew Bufalino said it wasn't the only event affecting Bribie.
"Yeah, basically there was a water-spout spotted just off the coast," he said.
"But even on land at Bribie Island, we had some damaging winds of approximately 100km/hr, so quite a significant storm that pushed over."
The storms which crossed the south east of the state passed out to sea on Sunday evening, leaving blacked out homes and some fallen trees - but little other damage.
The Bureau of Meteorology had issued a number of warnings throughout Sunday, starting with the Gold Coast region, and then covering the Scenic Rim, Brisbane's north, and finally the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Gympie.
However, by 6PM the bureau was advising that severe thunderstorms were no longer affecting the Southeast Queensland area, and that the threat of severe thunderstorms has passed.
Earlier on Sunday afternoon, an Ipswich man was reportedly treated after a lightning strike near his home, and thousands of homes lost power as the storms moved north.

So just how does she get that gorgeous grin? "I brush with baking soda," Julia says. "I learned it from my grandfather. He'd put a big heaping mound of it on his toothbrush. He had only one cavity his entire life." Impressive! Furthermore, if she had only two minutes before she had to get out the door, the one thing she'd do would be to brush her teeth.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - For the fourth year in a row, Wolfson Children's Hospital will celebrate the lives of their current and former patients at the One to Grow On and 55 Mile Ultra Marathon.
The kickoff to the celebration is taking place Tuesday morning with the lighting of 55 candles on a colossal birthday cake in the circular rotunda driveway in front of Wolfson Children's Hospital and Baptist Medical Center.
Each candle represents one of the Wolfson 55, comprised of 53 past and present patients of Wolfson, along with the hospital's mascot.
The Wolfson 55 children and their families will be honored Tuesday morning to celebrate their lives and their courageous fight against life-changing and, in some cases, life-limiting illness.
The One to Grow On cake lighting ceremony is from 6 - 7 a.m. on Tuesday.
The Cake will stay up in the Rotunda until the February 9th One to Grow On Event and Ultra Marathon, where it will then be displayed at the Jacksonville Landing.
There will also be a special guest at Tuesday morning's event. Six-year-old Ellie is fighting a brain tumor and is a frequent guest of Channel 4.
Ellie is a patient of Wolfson and will light the cake to represent the Wolfson 55 and the other 10,000 plus kids the hospital serves each year.
After the kickoff on Tuesday morning, the next event is the day long Telethon for Wolfson on Tuesday, January 29th from 6 a.m. - 11:30 p.m.
The 55 Mile Run and Birthday Party will then be at the Landing on February 9th and Channel 4's own Richard Nunn is running the 55 mile event again.

Myers Presents at Educator Conference
May 17th, 2011 | SMWC
Kathryn L. Myers, coordinator of paralegal studies and associate professor at Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC), presented a session on Marketing Your Graduates in Tough Times at the North Central Regional Conference of the American Association of Paralegal Educators (AAfPE) in Chicago, Ill., on April 9, 2011.
Myers, a 1986 alumna of SMWC, focused her presentation on four main themes designed to help students catch an employer's eye by standing out from the job-seeking crowd. First, she emphasized the importance of creating multiple backup plans. Flexibility, Myers said, will be key in securing a job in these tough times. Another theme stressed the usefulness of understanding your own strengths and weaknesses. Knowing your weaknesses helps you improve them, Myers told the crowd, and knowing your strengths helps you improve your people skills. Myers's third theme centered around the value of being proactive. Many people believe that looking at help wanted ads is a sufficient way to secure a job. Myers explained that, especially in today's times, networking is more essential than ever. Students can join groups their potential employers might be in, continue their educational opportunities, volunteer to teach a legal seminar or write an article for a newsletter or magazine. Finally, Myers impressed upon the students the advantage of creating a portfolio. She said students should develop two portfolios: one portfolio contains the most impressive materials that the student has compiled and the second, on CD or a thumb drive, should be left with the potential employer. The second portfolio should also contain a cover letter for that specific employer, resume and selected completed works such as correspondence, memoranda of law and pleadings. The conference had more than 60 attendees from across the Midwest.

• eschew •
Pronunciation: es-chu • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: To avoid, shun, shy away from; to reject.
Notes: Perhaps the shortest one-liner in English is "Eschew obfuscation", funny to some because both eschew and obfuscation are thought to contribute to obfuscation. However, both these words have now been established as alphaDictionary Good Words, making them simply citizens of a literate vocabulary. One instance of eschewing is an eschewal while the process itself is eschewance; someone who eschews is an eschewer.
In Play: Do not eschew the use of this word wherever you are. It is a very handy term around the workplace: "Gladys Friday tends to eschew work on warm, sunny days." This word also offers a lovely way of expressing your wishes indirectly without resorting to such expressions as gimme: "I get an allergic reaction to flowers but I would not eschew a box of truly excellent chocolates."
Word History: Believe it or not, eschew is English shy in French clothing. Eschew originated in the ancient ancestor of English, Proto-Germanic, as skiva- "to avoid, dodge". This word was borrowed by Old French before it went on directly to become English shy. English borrowed the word back from Old French eschiv(er) "(to) dodge, avoid" as escheuen (before the Old French verb became Modern French esquiver). When Old English gave up the infinitive ending -en, the result quickly became Modern English eschew.

Claude Mason Steele is an American social psychology professor at Stanford University, where he has taught since 1991. He is best known for his work on stereotype threat[1].
He earned a B.A. in psychology from Hiram College in Ohio in 1967. He then studied social psychology, earning an M.A. in 1969 and a Ph.D. in 1971 from the Ohio State University.
According to the Social Psychology Network:
- "His research interests are in three areas. Throughout his career he has been interested in processes of self-evaluation, in particular in how people cope with self-image threat. This work has led to a general theory of self-affirmation processes. A second interest, growing out of the first, is a theory of how [group stereotypes] -- by posing an extra self-evaluative and belongingness threat to such groups as African Americans in all academic domains and women in quantitative domains -- can influence intellectual performance and academic identities. Third, he has long been interested in addictive behaviors, particularly alcohol addiction, where his work with several colleagues has led to a theory of "alcohol myopia," a theory in which many of alcohol's social and stress-reducing effects -- effects that may underlie its addictive capacity -- are explained as a consequence of alcohol's narrowing of perceptual and cognitive functioning."
His twin brother is the conservative writer and fellow of the Hoover Institute, Shelby Steele.

I was wondering how do you deal with your Help and support. I am using a mail client, but I think it is pretty slow. I need more interaction with users. Something like jabber.
Thanks for your tips!
It depends on what you are offering help and support for.
Let's say you have an independent video game or software application (using this example as I was discussing a help system for a software product with someone last week).
In that scenario something like an online help/faq type tool is helpful, where the user can search help topics and get answers; maybe with user contributed answers (in the form of comments) can be really helpful.
Then back that up with an online touble ticket type system where the user can interact directly with support, where the ticket and its replies are visible online and via email response.
You could also have live chat support if you have the agents to support it.
Thank you very much for your tips. I decided to go for the ticket system and works for me perfectly.
what ticketing system do you use, we are pretty happy with ours but maybe there is something better / more affordable out there?
I am trying out osTicket and so far all is ok. May I ask what system you are using?
currently we use freshdesk
I think you should chat with the customer support agent to solve this issue.
I saw the website and i like it . How I understood it is a serious system . How many years you use this system ?

• allegator •
Pronunciation: æ-lê-gey-dêr • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: An alleger, someone who alleges, who claims something to be true, especially to make a claim without proof.
Notes: The verb, allege, has received considerable comment in the past. Aside from the frequent misuse of its past participle, alleged (the alleged bank-robber), it's action noun is allegation, with an unexpected -at- inserted. This noun comes from a synonym of to allege, namely, to allegate. This verb rarely rises to the surface of conversation but it does exist. It has an interesting agent noun, allegator, that indicates the doer of the action. Even if it is rarer than alleger, it is certainly more amusing for its homophone.
In Play: Hey, I'm telling the truth! Now when you are subjected to false allegations, you have a more emotionally charged word for your accusers: "Ben Downe is nothing but a cold-blooded allegator who will swallow whatever the opposition feeds him, then regurgitate it for the press on command." How's that for an image of your accuser? Around the house? Sure: "Mom, I am not picking on Billy; he is just an irresponsible allegator." Now, doesn't this Good Word cast a much more powerful beam than alleger?
Word History: Today's Good Word is a creation from Latin allegat(us), the past participle of the verb allegare "to send off; to relate, recount". The verb is made up of ad-'(up)to" + legare "to appoint, assign". So, the prefix al- is really ad- "(up) to", whose consonant assimilates to any other consonant to which it is attached (that is also it in arrest, attest, adduce). The root is that fascinating Proto-Indo-European root *leg-/log- which gave us Latin lex, legis "law" and Greek logos "speech, word, idea". (The Greek root also gave us lexicon, lexical, and Lexiteria!) The best guess as to how these two meanings crossed paths is that this root goes back to the day when a king's word was the law.

101 Places Not To See Before You DiePosted in 101 Places Not to See Before You Die, Books, Essays, Favorites, Travel, Video, Writing on 08/13/2011 09:30 am by Catherine
Now out from HarperPaperbacks, 101 Places Not To See Before You Die is a guide to some of the least appealing destinations and experiences in the world. From the armpit of New Jersey to the Beijing Museum of Tap Water to, of course, Euro Disney, it includes some of the most boring museums,stupidest historical attractions, and worst Superfund sites you'll ever have the pleasure of not visiting. But the book goes much further.Jupiter's Worst Moon, an Outdoor Wedding During the 2021 Reemergence of the Great Eastern Cicada Brood, Fan Hours at the Las Vegas Porn Convention —101 Places Not To See Before You Die travels through time and space to provide a welcome — and unusual — reprieve from the glut of "inspirational" travel books currently on the market.
Far from being just an encyclopedic list of crappy travel statistics, 101 Places Not To See Before You Die is also a backhanded tribute to what makes traveling so great: its tendency to put us in situations that we otherwise never would have experienced. With guest entries from writers like Nick Kristof and A.J. Jacobs, 101 Places Not To See Before You Die is filled with stories and anecdotes of misadventure to which any seasoned traveler can relate. These are the experiences we tell to friends afterwards, the stories that earn us bragging rights, the reason why we're willing to put up with the bed bugs and the food poisoning and set out to explore to the world.
