Diversified economy the key for Tassie
A push for new infrastructure investment has given the island state a boost.
The president of the Real Estate Institute of Tasmania, Peter Bushby, is very upbeat about the future of the Tasmanian property market. He holds the state economy up as an example to be followed by the rest of Australia, even the world.
"The reason Tassie is so strong at the moment is because we've got such a diversified economy," Bushby says. "We're not relying on any one particular component of the economy for our survival. We've got tourism, education, fishing, forestry, mining, horticulture. You name it." Bushby compares this to the economies of WA and Queensland, which he says largely rely on tourism and resources and are hence more volatile.
Tasmanians are certainly innovative when it comes to finding new ways to boost their economy. The best example is the northwest coastal town of Burnie. Ten years ago, realising that the local woodchip mill was not going to be able to provide for the whole town, the council decided to start inviting international cruise liners to dock in Burnie's deepwater port. Millions of dollars have since poured into the community and Burnie has become a must-see destination for many travellers.
Population woes
John Lindeman, chief property analyst at Residex, is not convinced that the real estate market simply responds to fluctuations in the economy. "It's more to do with people," he says. "Without more people coming in, you don't need a lot more housing. [The Tasmanian market] is in balance. There's not a great shortage."
The population of Tasmania is, in fact, growing. "That's good because it reverses a trend," says Bushby. "Up to about 10 years ago we were having a negative population growth."
However, Lindeman notes that the rate of population growth is the lowest in Australia.
Most of the new arrivals to the state are retirees rather than families or operators of businesses. Bushby counters by pointing out that a lot of the retirees moving to Tasmania bring considerable resources with them, enhancing the state's economy.
Whichever way you look at it, high affordability in all the major centres makes investing in Tasmania less stressful. Bushby points to the low vacancy rate as evidence of strength in the market: "Right around the state, the vacancy rate for residential is still only 2.1%. In Launceston it's even lower than that." Also, demand for boutique units in the inner-Hobart area is very strong, Lindeman concedes.
Increased investor activity
The influx of new investors, many from interstate, has coincided with the reduction in first homebuyer activity across all Tasmanian markets.
"Last month just over 20% of sales were to investors statewide," says Bushby. "The investors are coming through, and why wouldn't you at the moment? You're going to get lousy returns from the banks. People are still very wary of superannuation and share market volatility, so bricks and mortar with a strong rental demand, low vacancy rates and low servicing costs, it's a good opportunity to get into property."
A number of state and federally funded infrastructure projects as well as private ventures are expected to further boost demand for property throughout Tasmania. In April, work commenced on the $243m Brighton Bypass and transport hub, which is expected to improve access to residential and industrial areas in the south. The project is due to be completed by mid-2012.
In the north, the controversial Gunns pulp mill looks almost certain to receive a green light. "We're waiting for the final push, and that's going to have a positive impact on the northern economy in particular, but the state economy as a whole," says Bushby. "There'll be opportunities for leasing and investments. It's not going to be an overnight apparition. It's going to be sustained over a period of time."

Nightmare for Boeing as Dreamliner fleet is grounded over fire danger
The future of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner is in serious doubt today as it emerged that the official investigation into electrical and battery failures could take months to complete.
The global fleet of 49 Dreamliners was grounded indefinitely yesterday after the US Federal Aviation Administration demanded that Boeing and those companies flying the aircraft take "corrective action" to remedy the risk of battery fire on the aircraft.
Aviation experts said that it was the most serious safety intervention of its kind by the FAA since it grounded the McDonnell Douglas DC10 in 1979 after an aircraft lost an engine and crashed in Chicago, killing all 271 on board.
The worldwide grounding of the Boeing 787 immediately affected Heathrow, where a Qatar Airways 787 flying daily…

text: For a short piece titled "S.A.T.'s for Rockers," Entertaiment Weekly writer Evan Serpick contacted the famously frank frontman for Memphis metalband Saliva. Given the fickle nature of the music industry, the story's subhead, "Josey Scott, you have 15 minutes," seems eeerily prophetic,but the article may well go down in journalism history as the most inane interview of all time. Some sample questions and answers: EW: "Fill in the blank. Saliva is to rap-metal as John Coltrane is to _______. [A} deep-trance techno, [B] a turkey sandwich, [C] jazz." Scott, claiming that Saliva's fusion of rap and metal was not "rap-metal," chose B: a turkey sandwich. ALSO: EW: "I rocked so hard I almost _____ my ______. (A) Wet my pants; (B) Did my homework; (C) Lost my lunch." Scott, to his good credit, answered "none of the above," noting, "Those are all f---in' awful, dude!" AND FINALLY. . . EW: "What do Rick Dees, Three 6 Mafia, and Saliva all have in common?" Scott answered correctly "Memphis," though the more appropriate response might have been, "Dude, why are you f---n' wasting my time?"

Bobby Summerford lives here on Kingsbury Court in Longview, a neighborhood trying to get some peace after vandals played an expensive prank.
Summerford says the vandals cost him hundreds of dollars in damaged paint jobs to his two cars and he's already been hit several other times this year
"As I came out to church Sunday morning, the back of my truck was covered in eggs. So I told my wife I think we've been hit again. She went 'again?'." - Summerford
"Bobby Summerford says he was sick and tired of having his cars vandalized, so he installed these cameras, to keep watch while he isn't." - Kevin Boyce
A measure that may seem extreme for some but for Summerford, it's to protect the ones around him.
"If I have to spend a little extra money on security cameras to keep this neighborhood safe than that's what I'll do" - Summerford
The cameras paid off, Capturing video of 3 men jumping out of this car and egging half a dozen cars in the neighborhood including two of the Summerford's.
"To them destroying someone else's property doesn't mean anything. But I've worked hard for my things." - Summerford
Longview Police hope someone recognizes the people in the video and comes forward.
In the mean time, Summerford is preparing in case it happens again..
"We're gonna upgrade, and have cameras to where we can get better footage."

'Gringrich divorced wife for not being pretty enough to be President's wife'
Former House of Representatives Speaker and 2012 White House contender Newt Gingrich divorced his first wife as he believed that she was not beautiful enough to be the President's wife, according to his former aide.
Gingrich's messiest political problems resurfaced when CNN posted papers from his first divorce that contradict his claims his wife sought the split.
CNN interviewed Gingrich's former pal and early congressional campaign treasurer Leonard Carter, who said their friendship ended over the ambitious politician's callous treatment of his wife. "Gingrich) said, 'You know and I know that she's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of a President,'" Carter told CNN.
He said Gingrich initially refused to pay alimony -- a claim supported by the court papers -- and a church had to launch a food drive for Battley and her two daughters. When Gingrich left Battley, he was seeing a young congressional aide, Marianne Ginther, whom he married in 1981, the Daily News reports.
He divorced her 19 years later after an affair with another young congressional aide, Callista Bisek, who is now his third wife and main campaign strategist. On his campaign website, he denies the much-retold story that he served his first wife divorce papers in the hospital where she had just had cancer surgery.
"It was (Jackie Battley) that requested the divorce, not Newt, and it was months before the hospital visit in question," the campaign website says. But newly revealed 30-year-old court papers posted on CNN's website appear to contradict that. In the papers, Battley asks the judge to reject her husband's request for a divorce.

Beautiful, such a clever idea!

Great idea! I think this would be nice for gift tags, too.

Thank you Kirpa, retrorudolphs, mag-o, ottomanbrim, and Holly. I'd love a glass of champagne on any one of them, thank you.

Beautiful illustrations and wonderful concept!
ottomanbrim says:
Great idea! I love the bows!

This is really wonderful Victoria! I can picture a glass of champagne sitting atop any one of these festive napkins!

Great idea Victoria and the bows are so pretty too! Good luck in the contest :)
kirpa says:
So great idea, and beautifully done!!
victorialasher says:
Thank you Pennycandy, Scrummy, Spellstone, Muymajobv, and Rhonda. I also think they would make nice sachets, either double sided, or backed with a coordinating fabric.
rhondadesigns says:
These beautiful rosettes look wonderful, Victoria! I can think of many interesting uses for this design beyond the idea of cocktail napkins! Gift tags, tree ornaments, coasters and feature prints in quilts are just a few of them!
majobv says:
so pretty! they look great!
spellstone says:
Such a good idea! Love the bows x
pennycandy says:
Great idea and great mix of color combos! The bow is so festive, and the way it is centered with the ribbons it makes a sort of "landing area" for your glass!
victorialasher says:
Thank you Shelley, Weaving Major, Fireflower, and Jillian. Fire flower, I have something slightly different in mind for a table runner and cloth. It will still use the bows though.
jillianmorris says:
Great idea for squares! Your illustrations were done beautifully! Picking the bow is my favorite part of present wrapping :)
fireflower says:
I like these a lot, and I can see them working well for many occasions, and in many colors. The larger napkin sizes would make nice table mats and tray cloths, too. And if you got it up to 24-36in., it would make a lovely table centerpiece, table topper, or tea tablecloth. Good luck in the contest!

brilliant idea - nice bows and I love your classic Christmas colors!

Hi all,
First post here so please bear with me. I have a lot of anxity over my health, mainly about
my heart and heart rate. I don't know where it came from and all I can say is that is seemed to just hit me like a wave. I am paranoid about
how fast my heart is beating, how hard it's beating, how good my blood pressure is, etc..
I know how variable your heart rate can be but I am feeling so anxious about
mine. It seems like it never slows down even when I'm asleep (its fast when I wake up). My resting heart rate is up to 90-100 and I get out of breath doing the most simple things (eg. climbing stairs) and over the last day or two I feel that it's gotten even worse and I'm getting stabbing pains in my chest, my left arm feels so tense and my legs are tense aswell. I'm getting cramps in my calves and feet (left mostly) and tension everywhere. No matter how much I try to relax, I just can't slow my heart down and I'm scared it's going to suffer in some way. I know technically 90-100 is still within normal limits but there's something going on.
The other day I had some serious anxiety all day and my heart was about
90 all day, then in the evening it went up even more and was resting at around 100. This caused me to have several, quite sever panic attacks. After having the panic attacks my resting heart rate was up even more and was now around 110-120. I ended up going to hospital and they basically just sent me home but the weird thing is that when I got out and got back home, my heart rate was down to 65. I know it seems to obvious to someone reading this that I was just feeling better after going to hospital and getting sent out because there's nothing wrong with me, but I swear I didn't really feel any different when I came out.
Also, I was recently under general anesthesia for a minor operation (abscess) and its sedative effects didn't wear off for a couple of days. During those couple of days I noticed my heart rate was down again (70-80). I am so confused about
why my heart rate is up because no matter how much I try and forget about
it, it just won't slow down. I saw a cardiologist on the weekend and I have an echo tomorrow and a 24/hr monitor on Friday. He told me he doesn't think either will show anything and that I probably just have anxiety (after I told him I have anxiety, mind). He did a full blood count, thyroid and kidney function test and they're all fine except for a little anemia (Hb 11.3) which is actually an improvement (from 10.3).
To end: why won't my heart slow down, and what's making it go up?
I can't take my mind off it, it's driving me crazy. No matter what I do or how much I try and forget about
my heart, I can feel it. I'm thinking about
it 24/7 and I can't take my mind off it for a second. When I wake up in the morning, it's like my brain has already prepared my first thoughts of the day before I wake up. When I wake up, I don't just decide "Hmm, let's check my pulse", I'm already checking it before I realise what I'm doing!

Hello George and welcome,
Many people experience heart palpitations and increased heart rates during an anxiety attack. This pounding of your heartbeat can cause you to feel as if you are having a heart attack or as if you are going to die. The good news is that heart palpitations are often not serious and do not signal a health concern.
If you feel this is a medical condition please do seek out the advice of a cardiologist.
Please know you have come to the right place as this is a very common problem for members and I know you will hear from other members with support and advice for you on how to learn to cope with the anxiety.

Well just thinking about
it can cause your heart rate to go up and become anxious.
You need to stop watching your heart rate and when you feel the urge to check your pulse or blood pressure don't do it.
Do something else read a book, watch TV, take a walk what ever just don't monitor your heart.
It will beat no matter what and since you had all the checks you need and you are fine then you can relax.
I am in a really bad shape and my heart rate is normally around 80 - 90 I know when I start working out again it will go down.
Are you getting any help for your anxiety?

hoping you come back n read the input from both kitt n isergodur both make valid points.......
i know my heart rate goes off the charts with anxiety i have at times especially since i hv lost total hearing
checking with a cardio would be a great idea to get your mind at ease / find out what it is ...just another opinion...keep us posted on how you are doing....lyn

As SOON as I think about
my heart rate, it races. Some days I don't think about
palpitations, but as SOON as I think about
it, I get palpitations all darn day. Some days I have energy and feel fine, but if it's a day of heart racing and palpitations, the slightest walk from the kitchen to the bedroom is enough to send me into a panic. Then all I want to do is lay in bed and not deal with it.
Like they said above, make sure you don't have a heart problem, but if it is just anxiety. This is verrrrry common. Uncomfortable, but so common.

Hi again,
As I said in the first post, I have already seen a cardiologist. Had an echo done on Thursday which was fine and I've just dropped off my 24/hr monitor which I don't think will actually show anything because I had no palpitations or anything while wearing it. Still, I'll wait and see what the cardiologist says. The sonographer said my echo was fine. I don't even have a follow up appointment because the cardiologist said he'll just send the results to my GP. Heh, shows how concerned he was that there might be a problem
Anyway, still can't seem to get it to slow down much and I'm trying not to look at my pulse all the time but sometimes I just can't help it. Often I feel worse when I don't know how fast it is going because it feels like it is beating a lot faster than what it is actually beating.
Thanks for posting.

I totally understand what you are saying but don't check it :)
I know it will be hell the first days but then you will learn to keep your mind off your pulse..
Trust me I know what I am saying I have been in your shoe's and It was hell !!!
But it gets better and I am not aware of my heart today :) Except that it beats and keeps me alive ;)
If you feel that your heart is beating to fast get some exercise and the puls will slow down, when you get into a better shape (not saying that you are in a bad shape, just that if you have high pulse that is probably the reason )

Anxious88- I have experienced the same thing with heart palpitations. The one thing that helped me to feel more comfortable that nothing was abnormally wrong was an outpatient telemetry monitor that was prescribed by my cardiologist. Instead of only 24 hours, I wore the monitor for 21 days (which almost guarentees an episode during that period)...it records the exact time of the episode and also any other symptoms that you're experiencing at that time. The information is then sent directly to your doctor for review. It felt great knowing that my heart was under constant monitoring for almost a month...The monitor was through a company called CardioNet, I loved it, and everything came back normal for me (with the exception of increased heart rate, but no abnormalities)...Just something you may want to consider to ease your mind about
your heart. If you're convinced your heart is fine, maybe your attention wont be drawn to it as much?? Good luck and take care...

hi,, i also was worried about
my heart,, was getting palpatations etc and getting out of breathe easily,, thats the stress and panicks of it i guess, cause we work our selfs up so much thinking the worst, i know ive been there too,, i too had the echo scan and the 24/hr monitor all came back fine,, ive cut out caffeine, i have decaff tea or coffee and no coca cola,,, and if i felt anxious about
it i used to get a colouring book out or anything to take my mind off it, i know a colouring book sounds daft but it helped me,, i was to busy concentrating on something else and it seemed to calm me,, always try and do something if u feel anxious, it helps i promise,,, xxx

I went through a similar situation myself, always worried about
my heart,blood pressure and palpitations. I was constantly checking my pulse to see if I had one..LOL or at least to check on my heart rate. I also had the heart monitor thing and should add they may see some palpitations you do not feel like when your sleeping. I just myself went through a stress/echo/imaging heart test for a breathing episode I had and it was nothing but gerd/acid reflux which needed me to take my medication on a more regular basis. You can cause your own anxiety/panic worrying about
your health I can relate to that with my personnel experience. The worst part about
all this is that first come out of know where attack, its somethings from and illness or sometimes just unexplained, facing the fact you may have more makes it easier to handle. Once all your tests come back good keep telling yourself they said I'm alright when you feel panicky, it will help.

The spruce grouse ( Falcipennis canadensis), found in northerly conifer country, is nearly as big as a ruffed grouse, the male darker. Its flesh usually has the resinous taste of conifer buds and needles, its chief food.

Arsenal team news: Injury update ahead of Barcelona Champions League game
Arsene Wenger said he has no injury worries ahead of Arsenal's Champions League last 16 match against Barcelona.
The manager revealed Mesut Ozil was rested against Hull in the weekend's FA Cup fifth round due to illness, with Aaron Ramsey also given a break.
"I believe the positive of the day is that [Danny] Welbeck came through quite well. He started for the first time in 10 months and he was one of the positives of the day," he told Arsenal.com after the 1-1 draw with Hull at the Emirates.
Gabriel is still a week away from returning, meaning he won't get to face Barca, while Jack Wilshere is "three or four weeks" away, according to Wenger, while it is also too early for Santi Cazorla.

WATCH: The Irish version of Dance Moms starring Linda Martin as a dancing sausage
There's an Irish version of Dance Moms and it's probably the best thing you'll see all day.
RTE's Republic of Telly aired a brilliant sketch on Monday night called Dance Mams.
It's the Irish version of 'Dance Moms', the American reality TV show about child dancers, their pushy stage mothers and overbearing dance teachers.
It stars Linda Martin as the lord of the dance of the "world-renowned Willie Garry Dance Academy" and we bet even Twink would think twice about crossing this version of Linda.
Terrifying but brilliant.
Wait for the end... it's worth it.

Discussion in 'Website Design Critique:' started by gregmihalko, Nov 17, 2008.
Let me know what you think.
I would if the link worked
It works... try searching "Greg Mihalko" on Google.
Ah working now ok ... very slick and intuitive to navigate and a nice use of flash ... I like this alot simple and clean
Hi Greg.
Very nice portfolio (both design and content). I like the different background colours, simple navigation and subtle use of Flash.
Good job! :up:
Hi Greg,
Nice site, clean, cool sharpe design. I like it.
One thing I would say is though on this page I would make the numbers bellow clickable rather than rolling over them to change the image. It just comes down to expected behavier really.
I would agree with Lee on this point as on my first visit, with some of the smaller size images I hovered over and got the next image straight away on some of the other larger images it took a few seconds and I was wondering whether they were broken links. Could you add the loading graphic that you have in the photography section to the design section to let the user know that the image is loading perhaps?
Other than that minor point looks good, nice and clean, and the use of flash is nice, not over done in anyway. Have you thought about buying a domain name and some web hosting (relatively cheap to do) and having the site on your own domain rather than a sub-domain?
I agree with the previous two comments also, another issue with doing it like this is that when you are on the gap between two of the numbers it reverts to the default image.
On the contact page I had to search for the email address and telephone address if I was looking at your site as a potential customer I would not have searched I'd have taken one look at the contact page and gone straight to a competitors sight with those details clearly displayed.
Also on the About page at first it looked like just a page with a picture until i hovered over the image.
Just a few points I hope this come across as constructive criticism as that's how its intended.
Thank you for all of the comments. All were very helpful and a little tweaking is definitely necessary. Maybe I will make it more apparent somehow for the users to activate the links for the contact and about pages. As for the hosting, I will probably invest in some private hosting as I start to present myself when I graduate.

The US Education Department's investigation found that the City University of New York failed to respond promptly to a student's complaint of sexual harassment.
The Office for Civil Rights has announced an agreement with CUNY after finding that Hunter College violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 by failing to promptly and equitably respond to complaints of sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in education programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance. Hunter College is the largest college within the CUNY system.
"By entering into this agreement, CUNY and Hunter College demonstrates a strong commitment to addressing and preventing sexual harassment and violence among students, staff and the CUNY community at large," said Catherine E. Lhamon, assistant secretary for civil rights. "We look forward to working with CUNY and Hunter College to implement this agreement, including through ensuring a university-wide culture of prevention, support, and safety."
OCR's investigation was triggered by a student complaint of sexual harassment by a professor. That student also alleged that the college retaliated against her.

The latest handiwork by JBF Customs sees the popular silhouette given a Missoni-inspired rework. The shoe boasts vegetable-tanned leather alongside Missoni chevron, which was cut from a pillow.

What's New
Lila Lazarus the proud winner of the 2013 Emmy Award.
Here comes the birthday girl – make that bride
Hello, the caller said, and she gave her name — and then she laughed.
"It's the first time I've said that," said Lila Fernandez, who until Saturday night was Lila Lazarus. "I haven't had a chance to use the phone."
She's been online a lot, posting pictures. Then there was that whole business with a mutant storm knocking out the power the entire weekend of the wedding. And her husband drove off Monday morning on a business trip.
So she's been busy, and things are always hectic when you get married … especially when you don't tell anyone that's what you're doing until the ceremony starts.
"I'm the mother of the bride," Evelyn Orbach told her when Lazarus suddenly appeared at her own birthday party in a wedding dress. "I should have known."
Spontaneity being the order of the evening, Lazarus offered her arm, and Orbach took it and walked her down the aisle. As mother delivered daughter to groom, Ms. Fernandez reports, "The crowd went crazy."
Ed Fernandez and the former Ms. Lazarus have been engaged since the 2012 North American International Auto Show preview party.
That means they've been evading the when-are-you-guys-getting-married question for a year and a half, partly to be coy and partly because they had no earthly idea.
Golden opportunity
Lila Lazarus was a reporter and anchor at multiple slots on the local TV dial. These days she runs a production company, serves as the spokeswoman for a hospital system, teaches yoga, makes speeches, water skis and rides her Harley. All Fernandez does is oversee seven stations, including WXYZ (Channel 7).
They toyed with marrying on a trip to Belize over Memorial Day, but the law there says you have to be in the country for five days first and it turns out your arrival day doesn't count.
At a benefit for the Belle Isle Conservancy before the 2012 Detroit Grand Prix, they asked Gov. Rick Snyder if he'd do the honors. "Like, tonight," she said. He declined, on the grounds that he didn't know how and he wasn't sure he was allowed to, which it turns out he isn't.
Fast-forward to mid-June, when they invited 150 dear hearts to Lila's Blanco Birthday Bash. That's blanco as in everyone-wear-white, and birthday as in 50 on Aug. 3.
After RSVPs came in from a bunch of his relatives in Grand Rapids and her brother in Jerusalem, inspiration struck. "We'd been looking for that magic moment," she says, and here it was — bearing down on them like a runaway bridal train.
Keeping their secret
She bought her dress last week. Ditto the rings. When a friend offered to bring a birthday cake, she asked, "Do you mind bringing two?"
The judge was the husband of a friend she ran into at a Tigers game. He brought the number of people who knew the scoop to maybe a dozen, including Fernandez' three daughters, the seamstress who snuck in Saturday night to make sure the dress fit, and the hero of the evening, David McKnight from Emerald City Designs.
McKnight is the florist and event planner who came up with generators and fallback plans Friday when the storm knocked out power and shredded the tents at their lakefront house in Oakland County. Guests were all but unaware, just as they didn't know anything was in the works for the first 2 ½ hours of the party.
Then Lazarus snuck off to a neighbor's house to put on her gown, grabbing her friend and hairdresser Yiannis Karimalis on the way.
"I got the dress on in two minutes," she says. Meantime, a gospel choir was leading the guests to a chuppah on the water behind the neighbor's house. About the time people figured out this was more than a birthday, Fernandez puttered to shore in a ski boat.
Vows broke out, followed by abundant joy and tears. "We'd been saying all along the perfect moment would show up," she says, and in fact, it did.
Then Monday came, dragging the real world behind it, and the new husband motored off to a station in Indianapolis.
Ms. Fernandez sent him off with a kiss and a smile. "This is the longest I've been apart from you," she said, "since we got married."

Design speeds and acceleration characteristics of bicycle traffic for use in planning, design and appraisal
This paper reports the results of a study of a cohort of cyclists to determine their speed and acceleration characteristics relative to gradient and other influencing factors in order to supply data for planners, designers and appraisers of cycle infrastructure schemes. A cohort of everyday cyclists was supplied with a global positioning system device and a heart rate monitor and asked to collect data from their journeys in Leeds, UK. The analysis determines the cyclists' speeds and accelerations at every point on their journey and elevation data, corroborated by mapping information, was used to determine the gradient. Two linear regression models of speed and acceleration were estimated and show that the influence of a downhill gradient on speed is less pronounced than the effect of an uphill gradient. The results indicate an eighty-fifth percentile speed on the flat of 22Â kph, and for a downhill gradient of 3%, 25Â kph. The power required to cycle has been estimated and shows that cyclists deliver around 150Â W on the flat, but that this rises to around 250Â W climbing hills. Mean acceleration on the flat is 0.231Â m/s2 and the average power output over the acceleration phase, which is of mean duration 26Â s, is approximately 120Â W. Air resistance accounts for approximately 70% of the resistive force when cycling at design speed. It is recommended that designers adopt 25Â kph as a design speed for gradients less than 3%, but that consideration should be given to design speeds of up to 35Â kph for steeper gradients. Free-flow speeds in this range should be used when modelling mode and route choices and in benefit appraisal.

Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall is right when he says that Ontario's protectionist rules favouring local firms in government contracts are unfair to industries in other provinces. He could have easily added that Ontario is also hurting itself with these policies.
There is a simple appeal to the idea that when Ontario spends money to buy things, it should buy them locally to create jobs close to home. After all, Ontario's unemployment is stuck at 7.5 per cent.
Yet, if Ontario companies can't compete on quality and price in their own province, then they also cannot compete effectively elsewhere in Canada or abroad. These policies encourage companies to live off the taxpayer dime as opposed to innovating, becoming more productive, and becoming long-term job creators.
Some people may think it is impertinent for the president of the Canada West Foundation to take shots at Ontario's management of its economy. After all, much of the West's success is the good luck of having resources that are in high global demand.
Fair enough, but it is also true that the West has one of the most open markets in the world. This helps us tremendously because if we are able to buy goods and services inexpensively from, for example, Ontario, then this lowers the cost of our exports and helps grow our global market share. Oil, wheat, potash and lumber are all products where cost matters a great deal. Our open policies have helped us create jobs not only in the West, but also in Ontario. This win-win approach abandons short-term gain for a few in favour of long-term economic benefits for everyone.
Another consideration is the cost of public goods. We don't just build roads and schools and ice rinks because they create jobs. We build them because they improve people's lives and contribute to prosperity. Paying a premium to contract locally means either fewer things get built or public debt inflates, reducing the ability to build in the future.
I agree entirely with David Dodge, former governor of the Bank of Canada, that with low interest rates and some slack in the economy, it is a great time for governments to invest in infrastructure. That does not mean, however, that it is a good time to pay extra for such work. Nor is it helpful to Ontario companies to enable them to build at uncompetitive prices, because this simply makes them less competitive.
The path to plentiful, well-paid jobs is innovating to produce things people want at prices they can afford. It is not the slow death of protecting unproductive firms. It is also not currency devaluation, which is just a stealthy way of giving all Canadians a pay cut.
Ontario's experience with building wind turbines is an illustrative example. The province chose to encourage the development of Ontario's wind turbine production industry through strong protectionist elements, not sourcing quality inexpensive components made in other parts of Canada.
As a result, the cost of purchasing, erecting, financing and connecting a turbine runs about $2,500 per kilowatt of capacity, according to the Canadian Wind Energy Association. That means a two kilowatt turbine costs $4- to $5-million to install. In Europe, the cost is $2,000 - $2,250 per kilowatt, and in China and India the cost is $1,400 - $1,570, according to the International Renewal Energy Association.
By not producing devices that can compete internationally, such industries as Ontario's are fated to die shortly after the big government spend ends.
Another example is the cheese industry. Supply management drives up the cost of milk in Canada. As a result, companies like Montreal-based Saputo Inc., Canada's largest cheese-maker, has closed five plants in North America in the past two years, and is developing instead in Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. We have lost an opportunity to grow a high-value industry – cheese – in favour of one with essentially no growth potential – milk.
The most recent Ontario election showed that Ontario voters like Premier Kathleen Wynne's willingness to listen and to keep an open mind. Yet, Ontarians are also concerned about the long-term economic strategy for the province. We can only hope that the premier will be open to abandoning long-standing policies that are crippling the export potential of what remains the most important economy in Canada.
Mr. Wall is taking the courageous step of standing up for the interests of Saskatchewan citizens and businesses. A change in approach by Ontario would be even more courageous and of even greater service to the citizens and businesses of Ontario. And in both cases, such courage serves the national interest.Report Typo/Error

Hi Love,
Our road to friendship has been a little less then traditional but for some reason it worked for us. I know you will always be there for me and that's one of the reasons I think I may be falling in love with you.I know you do not have time for a relationship right now and that you may even be scared to commit to me, but I am patient. I will be by your side regardless of my status with you. I have never felt so connected to a person in my life; I love talking to you or just being in your presence.I also realize that it is hard to tell somebody you care about that you do not love them as they love you. Please don't ever be afraid to be honest with me, because I will always be your friend.Mainly I wanted you to know I will wait for you. I don't need 100% of your time, all I need is to know you care, and you do that already. I love your comforting words and I want to say thank you for everything. I have loved you as my friend for some time and I would cherish the chance to love you even more.i am presently on holiday for now for 6 weeks and im still thinking of where to go have splendid and lovely holiday.hope to hear from you soonest,miss you
Linda Cares.................

The future of animation is practically upon us, where you develop into your individual avatar within a digital entire world, interacting with characters and changing into a single oneself. Allow me describe, several several years backy I met an intriguing Gentleman at a Coffee Search, Robert V. Ries, was his brand. Bob expressed to me that he felt our everyday living expertise was nothing at all a lot more than a really good simulator which fit us into organic our bodies to knowledge the Earthlings Realm and to test our will and strength of character in a range of situations.
He went on to say that we ended up being interacting with a lot of other would be the similar simulator. We talked for several hours and his theories seemed somewhat much-fetched, although he did go into an extended scientific explanation of how this might give good results. He explained our advancement of Artificial Intelligence, Simulation, Electronic digital Gaming, in addition as modern day day time films such as Vanilla Sky, The Matrix and Combat Membership. We discussed the Division of Defense's Net-Centric Battlespaces exactly where your targets came up in augmented reality and the way your night time vision and eye-monitoring techniques became human being brain-mind-eye interfaces aided by the silicon world inside a 4D entire world where you could possibly see below, beyond and 360 degrees.
He explained paradigms of time, space and intellect. Additionally I brought up other concepts which assisted the dialog; concepts of NASA's ten display screen Air Targeted traffic Manage Simulators, Sci-Fi writer Ben Bova's insights around the future of Mars and area for leisure tourism, Bill Gate's funding in Six Flags Magic Mountain and DARPA's research with mapping of a individual's life learning the experiences, emails, films, conversations and functions from start to passing away.
The dialogue in fact went via all the technologies of simulation from truck driving to initial responders. It grew to become obvious to me that even though the daily life practical experience was not a simulator, very well aided by the rapidly approaching know-how, it definitely might be. We also discussed issues of a single in a very express of animation where their our bodies didn't move but they remained inside the living simulation function, which they had selected, and their our bodies ended up being flipped more than and biometrically watched as to stop entropy; equivalent for the motion picture Coma.
We made the decision that possibly it would not be this sort of a negative life as you might chose your dream or simulation, rather than facing a actuality. A different considered came out of the conversation that is intriguing and that is the use of a individual's collective of minds of those that ended up being at present in their simulator. Considering that quite a few areas of the mental faculties would not be utilized they could be hooked along at a quantum stage to work on problems and currently being absolutely exercised though the other elements in the human brain ended up being completely engaged in the simulator. The truth is we determined by lengthening the dreamtime of your participant we could extend their life by ten fold and however borrow a few of their mental faculties capability although idling the physique.
We further surmised that we could use brain within the simulator through their pretend dream instances and choose them lower to one-five Hz frequency for super immune healing with the human body, blood filtration cleaning and ion-treatment. Meanwhile whilst operating at such lower frequencies the intellect could be straddling what we perceive as time. We could then send other folks into your simulator for brief visits to request queries of the participant to see how their daily life simulator was progressing, interact with them after which it report back again the findings and achievable futures that their brains acquired picked up on.
When the individual woke up they'd feel younger, be in great well being, be quite a few several years forward in their real living after which return to society free from psychological problems, health and fitness issues and within the future. But who would volunteer for this? Relatively who could possibly compensate for this. Our thoughts were any individual dying of the ailment, any individual who couldn't cope, anybody who felt that they had been residing inside the mistaken time time period or anybody who truly needed to encounter an intense in existence. Excessive pleasure, adversity or problem seekers would be worthy candidates, also it can be wonderful for offenders of society or prison rehabilitation as they could be donating mental ability on the collective for crucial initiatives, study a fresh lesson, be cured of their disruptive tendencies and so on.
Our dialog ended abruptly as he seen he necessary to acquire for the airport prime catch his plane again to the UK, while I had not gotten his e mail deal with for more dialogue to carry on this dialog, maybe me passing it on to you may very well be just as excellent. Consider on this for me.

To Form a More Perfect Union
Unions have a loud voice in communicating with elected officials ? and rightfully so. However, the voice must not be so loud that it resembles a seat right next to the bank of speakers at a rock concert. It must not be so loud that it causes long term hearing damage preventing other balancing voices from being heard.The employees of a public agency need more direct opportunities to demonstrate their loyalty and innovation in a safe, enriching environment free from inequity and poor behavior by colleagues and supervisors. Personal accountability and acceptance of responsibility for behavior and performance on the job would be a wonderful thing to encourage in a society continuing to be weakened by the retreat of these qualities.

Does ISO 27001 compliance need a data leakage prevention policy?
On one of the ISO-27000 lists I subscribe to I commented that one should have a policy to determine the need for and the criteria for choosing a Data Loss Prevention mechanism.
I get criticised occasionally for long and detailed posts that some readers complain treat them like beginners, but sadly if I don't I get comments such as this in reply
Data Loss is something you prevent; you enforce controls to prevent data
leakage, DLP can be a programme, but , I find very difficult to support
with a policy.
Does one have visions of chasing escaping data over the net with a three-ring binder labelled "Policy"?
Let me try again.
Policy comes first.
Without policy giving direction, purpose and justification, supplying the basis for measurement, quality and applicability (never mind issues such as configuration) then you are working on an ad-hoc basis.
Remember: CMM plays an important part in ISO 27000
The DLP device you end up with on the ad-hoc basis is just whatever the networking people think they want; it may or may not fulfil business objectives from the POV of other stakeholders.
Oh, and did I mention priority? Priority leads to how you allocate resources such as budget. The business may place a different importance on matters than the network technicians or even the IT managers. But if there is policy that says something should be done then the IT managers can go to the executives and say "Your policy says we have to do this, please give us the means to fulfil your policy".
There is more in this ilk, but trying to justify actions and expenditure for which there is no policy is going to be fraught with complications that a policy could just cut through. You are trying to put the horse
before the cart.
Policy serves many other objectives in a variety of settings, such as coordination, of activities, avoiding redundant activity ("reinventing the wheel"), guide product selection, avoid liability for negligence,
make issues visible as part of an awareness program and more.
And if you have an ISO9000 or other then you are using policy to, as I said, establish metrics for measurement and improvement as part of the quality control process.
Please note that I'm not saying that things - and DLP is just one of them - shouldn't be done, but on a means of ensuring that they ARE done and done is a consistent and managed manner rather than as the ad-hoc whim of technical people in the networking group.
"Oh we need a DLP" could very well be "We've just come back from a vendor's presentation about this whiz-bang product and its really exciting and we should get one..." for whatever it is. The technoloy-de-jour principle of IT management.
And as a number of people have had attributed to them:
"If you think that technology can solve your problems
then you don't understand technology and you don't
understand your problems"

Market boom gets solar manufacturers charged up
New Mexico's solar manufacturing companies are entering a boom cycle this year, thanks to substantial growth in utility- and commercial-scale projects.
Albuquerque's Unirac Inc., which makes mounting platforms for solar photovoltaic systems, projects an 80 percent jump in revenue in 2012.
Array Technologies Inc., a maker of solar trackers, and Sacred Power Corp. — which makes and installs fully assembled solar systems — also forecast double-digit expansion.
"Utility-scale and commercial projects accounted for about 25 percent of our revenue in 2011, but we expect that to reach 50 percent this year," said Peter Lorenz, Unirac's president and CEO. "I believe we'll see a lot more growth in those market segments over the next two years."
The utility and commercial sectors accounted for 84 percent of the 1,855 megawatts of new solar capacity installed nationwide last year, according to the 2011 market report by the Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research.
Price declines for large systems are fueling demand. Costs fell from about $5 per megawatt hour of installed capacity five years ago to less than $2.50 today, said Array Technologies President and CEO Ron Corrio. A 30 percent federal tax break for solar systems also helps.
Residential demand remains strong in some states, but declining state and utility incentives for homeowners and small businesses to install solar systems are impacting the market in many places. A sharp drop in Public Service Co. of New Mexico incentives has intensified competition among local installation firms, pushing some small players out of the market.
But New Mexico's solar manufacturers sell in national and international markets. That allows them to target places where residential demand remains strong, while taking advantage of growing utility and commercial demand.
Unirac, which launched in 1998, created a commercial and utility group division in 2010 after the company was acquired by the Hilti Group, a global tool supplier.
"Unirac was founded to sell a racking product tailored for the residential market, not the utility-scale market," Lorenz said. "But we've invested a lot since 2010 to grow that division."
That investment is paying off. Unirac declined to disclose revenue, but projects an 80 percent jump in sales this year, based on signed contracts. That's on top of a 100 percent increase between 2009 and 2011, Lorenz said.
Unirac is expanding sales to more states in the U.S. and to other markets in the Americas, including Canada, Mexico and Chile.
And it's considering another 40,000-square-foot expansion to its facility at the Springer Industrial Park north of Downtown. Unirac already expanded from 66,000 to 80,000 square feet in 2010.
Lorenz expects to hire 15 to 20 more employees this year, growing the workforce to nearly 150.
Array Technologies, which sells its solar trackers in the U.S. and Canada, is pushing into markets in South America, South Africa and Australia, Corrio said.
The company grew from $10 million in revenue in 2009 to $38 million in 2010. Corrio declined to disclose recent revenue, but said Array installed about 380 megawatts of capacity in 2011, up 280 percent from 2010, and will install about 800 megawatts this year.
Array doubled its workforce from about 50 in early 2011 to 100 today. It will hire another 40 this year.
Sacred Power is benefiting from a surge in federal spending on solar systems at military installations and funding for systems on Native American lands, said co-owner and Chief Operating Officer Odes Armijo-Caster.
Sacred Power peaked at $9 million in revenue in 2010. It declined to $7.5 million last year, but Armijo-Caster projects $10 million in 2012.

Having lived in places where this season is marked by the color brown, I just love California's green winters. But the weather is heating up for spring and we'll be losing our green hills to the brown of summer. So I wanted to put together a little list of places to go in OC with green hills for family hikes. The disclaimer is that this list is only good after the rain has come in December or January to make the hills green! We have sure had our share this year already.
Let me explain that "family hikes" for me can just be a brief nature walk together! You can just play at these places or even just drive by to take in the view. NOTE: None of these photos were taken this year — just my historic photos of the green! You'll have to investigate yourself to see if your visit looks like my photos.
