Where it all began for the Farriss brothers from INXS0:23
Meet Vicki and Scott Collins who are the current owners of this Belrose house which the Farriss brothers of INXS grew up and famously practised in the garage.
INXS guitarist Tim Farriss has joined the community chorus against coward one-punches, urging governments and local councils to put bands back into pubs to redirect the wild energies of mindless drinkers.
Tim Farriss, now 56, believes the decline of live entertainment in Sydney is a direct cause of the rise in alcohol-fuelled violence.
After building a global music career on the sweat of years "grinding away" on the national pub circuit, Farriss argues recent public policy changes need to address entertaining drinkers not just shutting them out.
"There would be a lot less alcohol-fuelled violence if people were getting their rocks off watching bands live, maybe getting something from Harry's Café De Wheels and then going home. But nowadays everybody just stands around in pubs and gets geed up for a fight."
While he supports the restrictions placed on licensing hours and the campaign to make a night out safer, he said redirecting the pent up energy of punters is key to solving the problem — while also nurturing a new generation of bands which could turn into world beaters like AC/DC and INXS.
"People are going to drink but let 'em drink in an environment where they're spending a lot of time looking at some band, dancing, being entertained. They forget about the alcohol as their only focus, for a start."
Rocking out to a band "is all a bit of a sex dance in the end," Farriss told News Corp Australia, "it's how men attract women and they're not going to do it by coward punching people on the street."
"When we were growing up it was all about what band we were going to see. It really didn't matter about drinking so much, it just happened to be in a pub. Then the slot machines and DJs started taking hold — nothing against DJs — but it's all a bit mindless."
He said large scale events like New Year's Eve and even Tropfest don't see the levels of violence marked so regularly on the streets of Kings Cross and the CBD because of the entertainment factor.
"No one fights after going to Tropfest. Even New Year's Eve, it just goes to show if you entertain people and they're not bored, they don't turn mindlessly to violence."
The father of two sons revealed he and one of his boys had both been victims of king hits, near their Northern Beaches home.
"James got king hit outside a hotel in Manly, which has struggled to deal with alcohol (related problems). He was defending some girls who were being approached by some guys and he said something."
Without the distraction of live entertainment, Farriss said: "this is all the kids have got. It's like this cage-fighting, I don't get it ... but it's because no one wants to be Cold Chisel, or Midnight Oil, or AC/DC or Mental as Anything or get their rocks off rocking out to The Radiators anymore, because it's just not out there."
When he was struck, walking home after a local cricket club function along Fairlight Wharf two years ago, he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"I came around a corner and these two fellows were having an argument and I think they were about to start a fight themselves. Being the friendly person I am, I just looked at them and they went `what the f*#$ are you looking at?' I said nothing and tried to keep walking but that wasn't enough and I just got hit straight in the head. Luckily my head hit the grass, not the path but I was out of it."
His INXS bandmate, the late Michael Hutchence lost his sense of taste and smell after being randomly punched by a taxi driver in Copenhagen, while holidaying with his supermodel girlfriend Helena Christensen.
For such a sensual and sensory person, the loss hit Hutchence hard and he spiralled into a dark depression which many around him saw as the beginning of the end.
The moment is relived in tonight's final chapter of Channel 7's sensational telemovie, INXS Never Tear Us Apart — one of many painful memories for Farriss.
"I remember him telling me that he couldn't smell and taste anymore and he was crying, literally crying. What do you say?" Farris said. "What can you do?''

No one will ever mistake Mark Cuban for a genial ambassador.
He still pouts and cusses too much to ever sport such a cool-head crown.
But, hey, let's give the temperamental owner of the Dallas Mavericks a big pat on the back for the way he conducted himself during his team's magical, if not improbable, run to an NBA title.
He made us mighty proud.
No, really. Cuban was brilliant: a restrained, thoughtful, classy, model sports team owner.
I hardly recognized him. Mainly, I reckon, because I didn't hear him swearing at referees during games or see him showboating on the sidelines like he has done since taking over the team 11 rough-and-tumble years ago.
Make no mistake: Cuban was the indisputable face of the franchise — and a lucrative disciplinary practice target for the NBA's buttoned-down commissioner, David Stern.
Cuban has dished out more in fines (nearly $2 million) than the average Joe will earn in a lifetime.
For Cuban, all the penalties and public criticism he endured was the price of doing business his way. His motto: To hell with what anyone else thinks.
I expected much of the same this year. I expected nouveau riche-boy Cuban to blow a gasket every time the zebras made a bad call. Figured I'd see him storming onto the court once or twice.
And once the Mavericks won it all, I braced myself for one of Cuban's expletive-fueled missiles. Frankly, I wouldn't have been surprised to see Cuban snatch the Larry O'Brien Trophy out of Stern's hands and pretend to smack him over the head with it.
But guess what?
Cuban, once again, surprised everyone, perhaps even himself.
He abruptly swallowed his tongue for most of the playoffs. Golden.
He deftly deflected attention away from himself and onto his team. Nice.
I'm an MFFL, Mavs Fan For Life, so Cuban brought tears to my eyes when he graciously invited the team's original owner, Donald Carter, on stage to accept the O'Brien Trophy from Stern. Sweet.
Somebody pinch me. Cuban showed a major-league level of maturity and class that many thought was beyond his reach or personal resolve.
"[T]he team owner handled himself with diplomatic skills that most of us in Dallas didn't even know he had," quipped Jim Oberwetter, president of the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce and a former U.S. ambassador.
I've always liked Cuban, even when, on occasion, I've taken dead aim at some of his antics. He's a passionate owner, a guy who sits behind his team's bench and cheers his players on like a blue-collar maniac.
If you buy the team, that's your prerogative, even if it rubs some the wrong way.
"Dallas has got a lot going for it," said Dr. G. Lynn Lashbrook, an Oregon-based sports management professor, author and president of Sports Management Worldwide. "You've got two Jerry Joneses in Dallas."
The other JJ, of course, is Cuban, the self-assured, often brash owner who has turned the Mavericks, once the doormat of the league, into another America's Team. Even Ohio, a state still taking swipes at ex-Cleveland Cavalier star LeBron James, is on our bandwagon, at least for now.
"Things changed, haven't they?" Lashbrook said.
I called Lashbrook because he's one of the experts I chatted with five years ago after the Mavericks lost the 2006 NBA championship to the Miami Heat, the team they defeated this year. That year, the team, the coach, the owner and even some Mavs fans totally lost their cool.
After one painful loss, the great Dirk Nowitzki punted the basketball into the seats, drawing a $5,000 fine from the league office.
Cuban cussed up a storm back then. It was an embarrassment punctuated by premature City Hall chatter about a victory parade.
"If Dallas truly wants to be remembered as a great sports town," I wrote then, "we must lose with grace, dignity and class — and that goes for the owner, first and foremost."
It took a while, but Cuban seems to get it now. He realizes he can't bully or bulldoze his way to glory. Sometimes, like a skilled matador, you've got to let the bull go by. Sidestep it.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't think Cuban is a totally changed man; just a man who made some much-needed changes at just the right time, while the eyes of the basketball world were upon him. He's even picking up what is expected to be a six-figure tab for Thursday's downtown parade.
"It's been fun watching the evolution of Mark Cuban as an owner," said Lashbrook. "I'm impressed with his vision, his passion and his leadership."
These days, who isn't?

January 17, 2014 at 12:17 pm #211173
I've just updated Enfold and WordPress, and now when I go into a page and try to use the Advanced Layout Editor it's blank. I can see the default editor OK, but the advanced layout editor gives me a spinning circle in the content box and then nothing. I've tried editing a current page, and creating a new page…I've also tried it in both Safari and Chrome to see if that was causing the problem.
Please help – this is stopping me making some urgent changes to my site, as I can't do a lot without access to the Enfold design tools!!!
ClaireJanuary 17, 2014 at 12:57 pm #211187
Hey ClaireBrummell!
Please try deactivating all active plugins and check if that helps. Then you can activate them one by one to find the culprit

I have the same problem with a new wordpress and Enfold installation with sample content uploaded. There are no active plugins. The Default editor only shows red underlining with no text (unless it is selected then it is visible as white characters. The rotating circle continues without end.
Please can someone help me get started on this site!
ChrisFebruary 12, 2014 at 2:30 pm #222793
Can you please give us a link to the website? Did you deactivate all active plugins?

There are no active plugins – i didn't get to the point of installing any. The website is http://www.euromondiale.co.uk.
I have reinstalled wordpress and enfold three times following the instructions accurately I believe. The website shows your sample content but I can't edit it on any page.
ChrisFebruary 12, 2014 at 9:38 pm #223056
It seems like you are using version 1.3.1 which is very old. Please update the theme to the latest version 2.5.1 via FTP and make sure you are using WordPress version 3.8.1 as well

Thank you for the login details.
I checked the website on Chrome Windows 8 and the Advance Layout Builder is there. Please remove browser cache then reload the page. If possible, test it on another browser or computer.
IsmaelMay 20, 2014 at 10:38 pm #267639
I too have the same problem. I have everything updated, no plugins installed and have tried on 3 separate browsers. All my type shows up in white, so it is impossible to see unless I highlight the text or turn the "advanced layout editor" off and switch to "text" mode. I am using Google Chrome on a mac. I also tried Firefox and Safari. Cleared the cache in all of the browsers and am still running into the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch!May 21, 2014 at 2:46 am #267740
I'm having tis problem also… any assistance would be greatly appreciated.May 21, 2014 at 2:50 am #267741
Just did the theme update, now it works – Many thanks! I could just kiss you xxxMay 21, 2014 at 8:52 am #267844
Hello all, I was having the same issue using Google Chrome on Windows 8, WordPress 3.9.1 and Enfold 2.7. All pages where I had used the advanced layout editor would not load the content, but would just give the spinning image.
I upgraded to Enfold 2.7.1, but it didn't resolve the issue. As recommended I started deactivating plugins. In the end, the culprit was the "Custom Facebook Feed" version 1.9.8.
I was surprised since I don't recall seeing any interaction between this plugin and the WordPress editor. Hopefully this post will help any others with this plugin and issue.
Thanks for the terrific theme and the excellent advanced editor.May 21, 2014 at 6:40 pm #268139
Glad it is working fine for you!
@webmalama thanks for sharing

I to am having the same problem not being able to access the advanced layout editor. Can you please help?September 26, 2014 at 11:10 am #325506
I am facing the same issue: Updated to Enfold 2.9.2 and all plugins, then updated WP to 4.0. Pages with Layout Builder load and load, but the AVLB does not appear. It happens with all plugins active or not, so does not seem to be any hazzle with plugins. Same applies to portfolio items, loading wheel keeps spinning, no content whatsoever is in reach to edit.
When trying do set up a new page or portfolio item, neither Layout builder nor standard editor are working.
Moreover, e.g. homepage`s permalink changed to an event title, somewhat like http://www.musikzentrale.net/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out) – (Purchase code hidden if logged out) – which is really strange and causes our Google ranking and visits to drop.
To make things even more weird, on writing blog posts, creating events etc., only the text editor shows up, visual editor does not react on clicking.
Any idea on how to solve this is highly appreciated.
Cheers. Sebastian.

Large-scale measurement experiments of P2P-TV systems insights on fairness and locality

P2P-TV is an emerging alternative to classical television broadcast systems. Leveraging possibilities offered by the Internet, several companies offer P2P-TV services to their customers. The overwhelming majority of these systems, however, is of closed nature, offering little insight on their traffic properties. For a better understanding of the P2P- TV landscape, we performed measurement experiments in France, Japan, Spain, and Romania, using different commercial applications. By using multiple measurement points in different locations of the world, our results can paint a global picture of the measured networks, inferring their main properties. More precisely, we focus on the level of collaboration between peers, their location and the effect of the traffic on the networks. Our results show that there is no fairness between peers and that is an important issue for the scalability of P2P-TV systems. Moreover, hundreds of Autonomous Systems are involved in the P2P-TV traffic and it points out the lack of locality-aware mechanisms for these systems. The geographic location of peers testifies the wide spread of these applications in Asia and highlights their worldwide usage.

Before they became the Scarlet Speedster and Girl of Steel, #GrantGustin and #MelissaBenoist starred in the musical series Glee. Their singing and dancing backgrounds on FOX's hit show has prompted The CW to create a musical crossover for both The Flash and Supergirl.
The two-part crossover, which will see #Supergirl come back to Earth-1 for the first since the time since the Invasion crossover, starts on March 20th and concludes the following day on March 21st. While Gustin and Benoist will be providing their musical talents for the episode, fellow Glee alum Darren Criss will guest star as the villainous Music Meister for the crossover, along with various stars of the #Arrowverse.
While all of this would be enough to get anyone excited for the upcoming crossover, the recent revelation that a certain fan-favorite hero will be receiving a costume update has made this crossover a must-see spectacle.
Supergirl Shall Be Receiving A New Costume
A recent tweet from ET's Leanne Aguilera has got fans hyped for the upcoming costume as she reveals that Supergirl will be receiving a "stunning" make-over.
An intriguing tweet to say the least, but the question now is: exactly could this costume be?
The tweet does state that it's the musical crossover costume, so that rules out any major modifications to the regular costume. Could we maybe be expecting some kind of diamond encrusted cape? It will be "stunning," after-all.
Supergirl receiving a costume update is sure to tick off a lot of #TheFlash fans, who have been begging for the Scarlet Speedster to receive a new costume for over two years now. If anyone deserves an update it is The Flash; Supergirl has been rocking a comic accurate costume for two years now, let's give Flash some love!

Q: I get an error "Could not inject DLL", how do I fix this?
A: First of all, run the injector as ADMIN. If you get this error, try loading the injector to the window that
tells you it is running, and asks you to press OK. Run AVA and wait until you see the AVA loading screen and the
anti-cheat in the top left. Then press OK, and it should inject fine.
Works here as well, and I'm 64-bit W7!
I suggest to use the aimbot with caution, as people quickly begins screaming "AIMBOTTER!11!".

Some days, no matter what I do, my writing can start to fill stagnant. It could just be a scene that I am bored with, or a character that I just find boring.
When this happens, and it does, I have to walk away from my story line and think outside of the box. The only problem is, I tend to think of new and exciting stories to try and write. Then I am left with a shelf of half finished first drafts which accomplishes nothing long term in the writing world.
So what do you do when you are stuck elbows deep in a story that you generally love but need a break?
Do a quick writing exercise. Try a prompt.
What is a prompt?
A prompt can be anything- a word, a picture, and paragraph – to spark an idea that you move forward with creatively.
Where can you find a prompt?
That is the beauty of the internet… anywhere. Try your local library or used book store. Another great thing about a prompt, they can never really go out of style.
Writer's Digest posts a weekly prompt here, and you just post your 500 word piece into the comments. Wordpress, Tumblr, and Blogger both have bloggers who dole out weekly/daily prompts. Just type in prompt in Tags and it will pull up a plethora of blogs giving you a prompt to try out.
My favorite is the Carrot Ranch weekly prompt given by Charli every Wednesday. This past weeks prompt was to write a 99 word flash fiction piece about the day the world turned brown. Here was my contribution to last weeks prompt…
We stood on the bridge looking down into the sandy abyss littered with long forgotten lost belongings and decaying fish.
"This isn't good."
I shook my head. There was nothing else to be said, we both knew what was coming next. It had already begun. Dehydration crept up the embankments as though the Earth was looking for a drink, and sucking the life from anything in its path.
No one knew how long we had, but we all knew what was coming. Without water, there could be no life.
We watched as the last lake took its last breath.
It was a simple piece, something that I will file away and maybe use for another day. It doesn't fit in my book right now, but I never know when it could fit somewhere. The point is, I was able to think outside of my box for an hour and think of a brown world.
Now my homework for you… A quick prompt. You have new neighbors that just moved in. Write out a scene 200 words or less and see where it takes you. Extra points to see just how twisted you can make it… For all you know, it could be a new chapter in your current WIP.
Let me know in the comments what you come up with.
Till next time,

I get lost when I'm speaking also and typing, can't remember words or how to spell but the thing that really gets me is when I'm trying to talk to someone and it's like my mouth is working faster than my brain can think. I start to stutter and say the wrong words. I don't even know why I say some of the things I do, I'm not thinking about them. An example would be me telling my kids that the milk is in the shower. Then when they look at me funny, I say "What", I don't even remember saying it. I have noticed a big improvement in being able to find my words and they come to me quick enough that I don't stutter or slur my words. I also don't forget what I am doing quite as much. I still get confused but it is so much better.
I have been trying all day to order more supplements but for some reason my computer is not cooperating, it's working really slow, I think it needs some malic acid/magnesium pills.

My rusty iPod arrived and my hope was that if I could clean up the rust I could get it to work. I was wrong. even after the port was cleaned it still didn't work. I pried open the case and took a good look at the circuit board. There didn't appear to be any water damage there. I thought perhaps the battery was bad, but a replacement would cost me $50 and even if it did work, that would put me well over my $50 spending limit.
So the rusted iPod is for sale on Ebay once again. At a minimum I am hoping to recover my $25. If I can sell it at a profit I am going to ad that money to my spending limit.

Fox news has taken down their breaking news alert - CNN is reporting that the gun turned out to be a plastic toy that was a prop for a haloween costume. That it was brought through security and caused a lockdown of the building is still cause for concern.
FOX News is reporting a security breach at the Cannon Office Building in Washington DC. The Cannon building houses offices form some members of the House or Representatives as well as some committee rooms.
Apparently, the suspect was attempting to bring a gun into the building in backpack, When the gun was detected the man grabbed the bag and ran into the building.
This is an ongoing breaking story so details may not be 100% accurate. But if these basic facts are accurate it certainly begs the question of what good are the metal detectors and the people operating them. Yes, they know there is someone lose in the building with a gun and they can and are taking steps to clear the building and find the suspect. None of that will be of any comfort to anyone who happens to get shot before he gets captured.
I have to take a rare trip for business in two weeks. If this is the level of security the government provides for itself, I'm a little doubtful about what they are providing for me.

As more Reagan supporters begin mounting boycott efforts, CBS President and CEO Les Moonves says the network is adjusting the script of its upcoming miniseries on the former president and his wife to present a more balanced view.
In an interview with Tina Brown to be broadcast tonight on CNBC, Moonves said criticism of a film nobody has seen is "rather odd." But in an apparent response to growing criticism generated by publishing of script excerpts by the DrudgeReport and the New York Times, he indicated changes would be made.
"We've looked at the rough cut, there are things we like ... there are things we don't like ... there are things we think go too far," he told Brown, according to the New York Post. "So there are some edits being made trying to present a more fair picture of the Reagans." (emphasis added)
What strikes me about this is not that CBS is making changes in response to public pressure - The Internet Strikes Again - but the admission by CBS President Les Moonves that the movie as originally scripted was unfair. (see bolded quote above).
Why do I have a suspicion that the revised version will stall fall short of fair and accurate?

Today's mail brought a measure of relief. Today we received a catalog from Despair, Inc. The headline over the message from the founder
Are you ready to unleash the power of mediocrity?The founder's message reads in part:
Think about it for just a moment - what hidden potentials exist within you?And when you browse through their collection of Demotivators - it gets even better.
Perhaps you're a wholly reasonable person with the potential to become an irrational fool? Perhaps your a team player, with a potentially argumentative loner lurking about inside you? Or perhaps your a dreamer, within whom lives a potentially disillusioned grouse, simply waiting to take fight upon wings of bitterness?

There was a vote to exempt Senators from the COLA. The measure was defeated 60-34.
There has got to be a better smelling way to determine congressional salaries. Maybe we should let the House determine salaries for the Senate and vice versa. We could let the Democrats set salaries for Republicans and Republicans for Democrats. This would surely result in a display of by-partisanship rivaling September 12.
Maybe we need to remove the question from Congressional jurisdiction all together. Let the governors of the 50 states determine congressional salaries.
The best option, of course is to use the model used in the private sector, tie salary to performance. You could link changes in congressional salary to the budget. If the budget runs a deficit of 3 percent - cut congressional salaries by 3% the following year. If the budget runs a surplus give them a raise in equal percentage less an equal percentage to any increase in taxes.
Given the rate at which the government tends to spend, within 5 years members of congress will be paying in rather than collecting a check.

In that speech, Brown said that "where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates, and our ability to control our destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege, war in the streets, unapologetic expropriation of property, the precipitous decline of the rule of law, the rapid rise of corruption, the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit."Justice Brown's response to Feinstein's attacks was ""I absolutely understand the difference in roles in being a speaker and being a judge." She added that her comments were intended to be provocative for her audiences and that she was "simply stirring the pot a little bit, getting people to think, to challenge them. " She could have added that the above statement is absolutely true even if you only look at the state of public schools.
"Do you really believe that?" Feinstein asked.
The idea of promoting judge who many consider a strong potential nominee to any future vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court who understands that government unchecked by the limits of the Constitution can do more harm than good in encouraging. Will the Republican party stand up and fight for the Constitution? I hope so. But I'm not holding my breath.

Elizabeth smart has been interviewed by Katie Couric, and Oprah as part of the promotional effort for her parents' upcoming book. But Katie tells us we should not worry:
I guess different parents would make different decisions, but I think Ed and Lois (Smart) have her best interests at heart and I don't think they would exploit their daughter," she said.Bullshit - on both counts.
NBC would not exploit Elizabeth, either, she said.
If parading your already traumatized daughter around the talk show circuit to boost the sales of your book does not constitute exploitation I don't know what does. And no matter what Miss Couric tells herself to the contrary she and NBC are guilty too.

Raising a child is a profoundly personal thing, and it should stay that way. I think the people who crow that giving your child an unusual name is child abuse are being a bit hysterical. But the bottom line is parents should stop and think a moment that the name they give their child may seem amusing and clever to them but it could be a burden their child will have to bear for life. Maybe take a minute to consider John or Susan before you name your child Viagra.

The results of his findings were basically that different people get different songs stuck in their head for different reasons. There is speculation as to why, but no real answer. Also, no solution for getting that pesky tune out of your head.
I have been unable to determine who paid for the research, probably every taxpaying U.S. citizen. But whoever it was, if they weren't sure it was a waste of money before the start, they are probably convinced of it now.
Professor Kellaris has also done research on the effects of hold music. You'll have to wait for comment on that.

CERN, whose laboratories straddle the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, said it had sent 1.1 Terabytes of data at 5.44 gigabits a second (Gbps) to a lab at the California Institute of Technology, or Caltech, on October 1.The test lasted 30 minutes. To translate for the non-geeks: a Floppy disk holds roughly 1 megabyte. A gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes. (The hard drive in my system is a relatively small 20 gigabytes.) a Terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes.
The Reuters comparison is likely to give the RIAA nightmares:
This is more than 20,000 times faster than a typical home broadband connection, and is also equivalent to transferring a 60-minute compact disc within one second -- an operation that takes around eight minutes on standard broadband.I am sure the scientists at CERN had something other than downloading Metallica CDs on Limewire in mind.

I have had some fun and some success playing the EBay game and set for myself the challenge of acquiring an Apple iPod for $50 or less. It has not gone well so far. And with today's announcement of the Windows iTunes, Apple's software for playing mp3's and for accessing the iTunes Music Store, I think my quest may have gotten a little harder.
I thought briefly about increasing my maximum but that is not a part of the game. An iPod is a really cool piece of technology that does cool stuff. If would be fun to have one but I am not suffering without one. It's a value judgment. It's an exercise in pure capitalism. I want to buy a iPod for $50. If no one wants to sell one for that price or the rest of the free world is willing to pay more then I don't get an iPod. So far in 19 attempts that has been the case.

What effect has this had in the region. Uprisings, brutally suppressed, in Iran and now the Associated Press reports up to 150 people have been arrested for protesting and calling for reform in Saudi Arabia. The protest was described as "the first such large-scale demonstration in a kingdom that has been under internal and external pressure to reform. "
Freedom is a powerful force. It will be interesting to watch its effect on the Middle East.

The first was posted by someone using the I assuming approprite name Pirate:
Copyright is a temporary loan from the public domain.That's right. Pirate wrote:
Copyright is a temporary loan from the public domain. (emphasis added)It's interesting to consider the idea that every original thought floating around in my head, and yours, belongs to the public. That it is only through the good will of the public that we have any rights to the work of out own mind. I wonder how many other rights Pirate considers to be on loan?
I work as a Graphic Designer for a large company. Every piece I design is reviewed by our internal legal department. They are reviewing to make sure that their is nothing in the design that could jeopardize the company's intellectual property - logos, trademarks etc. That intellectual property is key to the survival of the brands we sell, and without it the company and several thousand jobs - including mine - would not exist.
As I was thinking over what I was going to post in answer to Pirate - and just how badly I wanted to write a viscous flaming attack, I continued to scroll through the posts and read this from Sam I Was (quoted in its entirety because I couldn't have said it better.)
You and your cyber-fetishists are so bound up in your anti-copyright mindset, so giddy about this Groundbreaking New Era Upon Which We're Embarking Because Of Computers And Stuff, that you can't even see the basic flaws in your own writing. Such as:I have nothing more to ad to that.
Such profit serves as an incentive to create and distribute more intellectual property, which is good for all of us.
Sorry, that ain't libertarian. That ain't about ownership. That's COMMUNITARIANISM. It's defined by the very words you use to support your position (see bolded text above), and you don't even realize it, so self-assured are you in your animosity toward copyright.
"Good for all of us." Not good for me, the guy who created it. But good for all the rest of you. And being the red-blooded libertarian you are, what's good for all the rest of you -- at the expense of my exclusive ownership -- is what counts most for you. Right?
You want the workings of my brain to belong to you and everybody else. For the "good" of all of you. What I want to do with it doesn't matter to you. The books I write, the songs I record, the art I paint -- every bit of it belongs to you and the "public," because it's "good" for all of you.
With all due respect... Fuck that.
The original expressions of ideas that I concoct are MINE. Not yours, and not the public's. None of this has to do with "money," or "profits," or "revenue streams." This is about ownership. Money and profits and revenue streams are all incidental to that ownership. This is not about a means (copyright) to an end (profit). This is simply about ownership. Of the stuff in my brain. Which I own. And which you don't. I control the stuff I own. You don't. My reasons for not wanting you to have a copy are none of your business. If I don't want you to have a copy of something I created, tough luck. If you think otherwise, it's because you've bought into a communitarian view of property.
This is all very simple. Don't get yourself all lost in a rhetorical world of "incentivizing" this or "profiting" from that. Copyright is about ownership of expressions. That is all. It is very simple. Quit trying to make it more complex than it is.
I'm getting really tired of this argument. I'm tired of people who think the mere existence of computers has suddenly negated centuries of human reasoning about the sanctity of copyright. I'm really tired of people who call themselves libertarians and conservatives while promulgating socialist views of property, and laying claim to my creations because they think it's "good for all of us."
Because, frankly, I don't care what's "good" for all the rest of you. My creations are MINE. If I want to give a copy to Jane, but not to Joe, that's MY decision. Not yours, and not the public's.

In the last year or so I have scored a few victories in the Ebay game. The watch I am wearing is an Eddie Bauer design from Fossil. I didn't need a new watch I had a perfectly good Swiss Army watch. The new watch is nice enough but not really better than the one it replaces. It wasn't the need it was the hunt. First find a watch I liked, then win the bid without going over a pre-determined limit. It was mine for $18.00.
My next win was something I needed - a new PDA. Stage 1 of the hunt pick a manufacturer. The choices were limited Palm or Handspring. (Now it's back to just Palm.) I settled on Handspring mostly because of the ad on slot and the potential for future Ebay wins shopping for unneeded stuff to plug in. I targeted the Treo 90. Color display - decent memory and a mini keyboard for entering text - no Graffiti for me. Also there seemed to be a good number of them available. To make it interesting I set a $100 limit. I lost out on the first seven I bid on. Getting outbid by $2.00 on one just seconds before the auction closed. Number eight was mine. Brand new in the box, $299 retail value for $98 plus shipping.
My next target was a leather jacket. Brown, bomber style, all leather. I hate the elasticized cloth around the waist and wrist. Spending limit $50. I lost one really nice one in the last few minutes, the second was bid well over my limit. The third was mine for $28.00.
I haven't played the game for a while. I haven't really thought of anything that I don't need but really want. But recently I have been thinking that it would be cool to have an iPod. Not only that but that it would be cool to have an iPod for $50 or less. The disc size doesn't matter. New or used doesn't matter. I doesn't even matter if I don't get one (I've lost 8 in 2 days). What matters is, the game is on.

A recent example of this effort is the attempted enforcement of The U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child on the people of Canada. the U.N. Committee on Rights of the Child has informed the government of Canada they are required to
adopt legislation to remove the existing authorization of the use of 'reasonable force' in disciplining children.Fortunately the U.S. is one of two countries who have not signed this treaty.
I have seen a good deal of comment on this topic over the last few days. Almost all of which focuses on the wrong idea. Most of the debate I have seen focuses on the content of the decision such as this exchange cited in a World Net Daily article:
"When a child is young and cannot understand, a tap on the hand is essential for training," he said. "We have a wood-burning stove that gets very hot. It's ridiculous that I can't save my child from burning himself by tapping his hand away from it."That this committee member should have one hand placed on hot stove and then asked if they would have preferred a slap on the wrist is beside the point. The point is, no government - especially a self-appointed world government should be exercising that kind of control over individual lives.
However, a member of the committee responsible for communicating with Canada argued, if the child "puts his hand on a hot oven, he will be burnt and he will not do it again."
For the record I believe abusing a child is probably the single most horrific thing a person could do. I think the punishment for anyone convicted of abuse should be to be locked away and have their abuse repeated on them daily for 10 years. As for the argument that most abusers were abuse victims themselves - that is not only no excuse it should be grounds for doubling the sentence. But the U.N. instruction to Canada was not about abuse, it wasn't even about "reasonable force."
That I have deleted several paragraphs form this post because it was going down the path of what is appropriate discipline for a misbehaving child points to fact that raising a child is a deeply personal thing. It is not something that should be micromanaged by government at any level.
The U.S. pattern of not signing on treaties of U.N. World Governance in preference to maintaining national sovereignty is heartening. It is bad enough when the U.N. tries to tell nations what they can and cannot do, when they reach into individual homes they have reached too far.

He summed up the core of the issue this way
The new Medicare drug plan enriches pharmaceutical companies, fleeces taxpayers, and forces millions of older Americans to accept inferior drug coverage.  It does nothing, however, to address the fundamental reasons prescription drugs cost so much.
I have always believed that if you want to understand the true motives behind a piece of legislation you need to ignore anything a politician says and look at what the act accomplishes.
This plan accomplishes 1. Putting more money in the hands of rich companies that can be counted on for donations and spreading around a lot of lobbying cash: 2. Creating another level of dependency on government: 3. Putting the health of seniors (and the rest of the population) at risk by sticking them with inferior benefits.
The extra bonus for many corporations (read contributors) is that they get to eliminate drug coverage from their already thinly stretched retirement plans. And as the government gets its hooks deeper into medical care with the predictable decline in quality ALWAYS associated with socialized medicine, that will put an end to the pesky problem of ever increasing life-spans which again will take some strain off pensions.
This covers only some of the practical arguments and doesn't even begin to address the philosophical question of should government be forcing citizens to pay for someone else's medication or the question of where in the Constitution is the authority for the government to do so.

What new Climate and Energy Package for the EU?
on March 13, 2014, 11:09
As the European Council meeting in March 2014 gets set to address the next stage in the energy transition process and the decarbonisation of our economies, it is worthwhile putting into proper perspective the primary challenges associated with the renewal of the European framework for energy and climate policies ahead of 2030:
1. What certainties are there in a rapidly changing energy situation?
2. What answers does the new 2030 Climate and Energy Package contain?
3. Are we heading towards strengthened governance of Europe's energy policy?

German Roach Control Kit
Buy Now
Milton from Houston, Tx writes,
I am using d-fense sc for cockroaches. Works great. Using max force and traps for german roaches--
Maxforce and traps not working on German roaches. Any suggestions?? Would Vendetta Plus work for both cockroaches and german roaches??
When treating for German Roaches, using an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) is always recommeneded along with a roach bait and sanitation. The IGR is a crucial part when treating for roaches because it prevents the roaches from reproducing (birth control). The Vendetta Plus contains 2 modes of treatment, the food bait and the IGR. Vendetta Plus will treat all types of roaches, including cockroaches and German Roaches.
Gentrol Point Source packs would be a great product to add in addition to the D-Fense and Maxforce FC Roach Bait. These are individual IGR place packs that you use in areas where roaches are active. Using one place pack every 75 sq feet in active areas will last you for 90 days making it a convenient product for quarterly insect treatments.

I could really use some good advice. My girlfriend is planning a trip to visit me in the US in a month. It's a second attempt, the first time she was turned back in Poland and told to contact the consulate to find out what documents she was missing. She is from Lugansk but her and her mother moved to her uncles a small village about 45 minutes from Ternopil just after the fighting broke out 2 years ago. We have had much bad luck in our planning and I've told her before we move any farther let's stop and try to plan a bit better. Neither of us want another disappointment. The documents she needs is in storage in Lugansk. She says that due to the conditions and relations from the war postal service is unreliable at best from Lugansk. I'm a bit concerned for her safety because here in the US there are no real reliable reports of what's going on in Lugansk. Until a few weeks ago I couldn't find any new news from the area but now the news gives the feel of real tension in the area again. What kind of military presence is there? What are the conditions there. She says not to worry but I'm a bit worried for a woman alone traveling there. Do law abiding locals feel safe moving about. I hope that isn't an offensive question, I just don't want her to get there and her feel in a dangerous situation and me unable to help. She has expressed concern about needing a republic of Lugansk passport. That she has heard that she will be required to have one to move freely around. Also what about check points for her coming and leaving? Will she have trouble leaving once she's there and will she have to get the passport of the Republic of Lugask. I'm trying to think of any questions or situations she may run into coming and going. I've read that people need to get some kind off a permission pass to leave once there and even then Ukrainian army forces not letting people pass. Some of what I read was just after the cease fire agreement last year I just don't hardly know what to ask. If someone from that region or a close working relationship there could give us advice and some knowledge as what to expect for her arriving there in Lugansk and her departure back to Ternopil once she's retrieved the documents. Also she is staying with a family friend once there. She's not sure about cell phone service or even what to expect with the internet situation once there. We are a bit afraid of being out of touch once she's there. So if someone from that area could kind of give us a step by step guide of what to expect. If she can't get in and out quickly what are the service industry like there? I mean like will she be able to dine out if needed, what are the supermarkets like, or maybe if it's going to take a bit longer than expected I'm sure she would like to meet up with old friends if possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope one day I can return the favor.

Google Analytics Cross domain Link Tracking using jQuery
January 19, 2011 Leave a comment
Google Analytics is usually the first tool most ecommerce websites use to track performance of various marketing strategies, whether it's paid search (PPC), Affiliate marketing, landing pages or simply Organic Search. Many eCommerce websites also transfer visitors to external websites to complete the order and that creates a real challenge to track conversion rates.
Google Analytics provides the script to track cross domain conversions but that might become a pain to implement on all pages if that is not implemented nicely. That script needs to be called every time a <form> is posted to the external website or 3rd party shopping cart using onsubmit event or a link is clicked that points to that external website using onclick event.
The code below is the usual Google Analytic asynchronous script that is placed right before </head> tag with some additional parameters.
var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_setDomainName', 'none']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowHash', false]);
(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
Now here's our life saver! If you are familiar with jQuery and use it on your website. Just place the following code in any javascript code block in your page, and make sure this script gets called in all pages by using some header file or template. The following script will add GA link tracking information to to all <form> and <a> tags posting to http://www.example-commerce-host.com/petStoreCart/someServlet or http://www.example-commerce-host.com/petStoreCart/xyz/default.aspx.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
_gaq.push(['_linkByPost', this]);
_gaq.push(['_link', this.href]); return false;
How to verify that Link Tracking is working
The sole purpose of link tracking is to pass google.com (GA) cookie information to the external website (shopping cart, storefront, payment processor etc.). If the code is implemented properly, you should be able to see the cookie information passed using additional URL parameters to external website.

30 Days of Pinterest – Day 27
There's always something about my cakes, cookies or cupcakes that never turn out quite right. I can whip up a mean dinner without any recipe to follow, but if you ask me to bake a cake, you should probably expect the worst. Although, if there's one thing that I actually can bake, it's banana bread. For some reason, I've been blessed with the ability to make this treat without goofing it up, and that makes my fiance a happy man.
Because of my previous success with banana bread, I thought I would try my luck at making this banana cake. Probably not as good for you, but everything in moderation, right?
The Project Process:
You will need the following ingredients:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons of softened butter
- 2 mashed super ripe bananas (the more brown spots, the better. Really!)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup of flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Let me just say that having everything for a recipe already at home makes me the happiest lady ever.
Preheat your oven to 375F, and make sure you oven rack is positioned in middle of your oven. To make sure that the cake bakes properly, you'll want to have it baking in the right spot. Add the sugar, sour cream, egg and 2 tbsp of softened butter into your bowl and cream together. I used my kitchen-aid mixer, but this could easily have been mixed/creamed by hand.
Once your mixture is combined and creamy, it's time to add the mashed bananas and the vanilla. If you haven't mashed the bananas yet, now is the time to do it. I just throw them in a bowl, and mash by hand with a fork. You don't want to try to mash the bananas while mixed with the other ingredients, it'll cause your cake to be too dense.
Doesn't that look delicious? Once your bananas are mashed and mixed into your mixing bowl, add the flour, salt and baking soda. Mix well, and pour into an 8×8 pan. I only had a 9×9 pan, and it turned out just fine. However, if all you have is a 9×13 pan, you will want to double the recipe. Also as an added note, you'll want to make sure you grease your pan prior to pouring the batter in. I am constantly using Pam baking spray, which has a slight butter taste for baked treats. It's amazing!
Bake at 375F for 20 – 25 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick into the cake and it comes out clean. My 9×9 cake took about 23 minutes. The original poster did mention that if you are baking your cake in a glass pan, lower your temperature to 350F to avoid over-baking.
I let the cake cool a bit in the pan, and it separated nicely from the sides after a few minutes. I used a cooling rack to help flip it out of the pan, and then an additional cooling rack to flip it right side up again.
I used the recipe provided for the vanilla bean icing, but I have to admit I was less than thrilled. If you are interested in giving it a try, you can follow the directions here. I found it to have too strong of a 'icing sugar taste' and ended up adding more liquid to turn it into more of a glaze than a frosting.
The cake itself turned out much better than I could have imagined, and it has been a huge hit in our household! In fact, much of it has already been devoured and I have a feeling I'll be making it again sometime in the very near future.
Do you have a favorite banana bread, cake or cupcake recipe?

Art Deco Diamond and Enamel Brooch by Georges Fouquet

Most famous for his Art Nouveau creations, his work spanned multiple styles as he adapted to changing times.

New subscriber Thorsteinn Thorsteinsson wrote to ask for help in finding a driver for WiFi in his IBM ThinkPad Z60m Type 2531 Win7 Home Premiumn notebook computer:
Hi Terry,
I am calling you from Iceland, to ask you to find for me this driver which got lost after a HD disaster?
Best Regards TST
My first thought was to point Thorsteinn to the IBM web site, and to suggest that he find the Support section of it.
That's generally the right answer for finding updated drivers or replacement copies of older versions, if you can't find your driver CD/DVD.
Then, I remembered that IBM no longer has its PC division. It sold the PC division a couple years ago to Lenovo. Therefore, the right answer was to check Lenovo's site.
Rather than pointing Thorsteinn directly to the Lenovo site and letting him locate the right section, I decided to try a Google search first.
I searched for:
wireless driver for IBM ThinkPad Z60m Type 2531 Win7.
That turned up the right link, although it was several links down the page — it wasn't at the top.
Tech Tip
Personally, I use PC Pitstop's PCMatic to keep my drivers up to date. However, I don't know whether or not it would find a driver for hardware that did not already have a driver installed.
WHen I saw the link to a page on the ThinkPad Z60m at www.lenovo.com, I clicked through to check it out. I found that it had links to a lot of different drivers for that Thinkpad.
So, I wrote back to Thorsteinn to tell him to do a Google search for
wireless driver for IBM ThinkPad Z60m Type 2531 Win7
I advised him to check the Lenovo link in the search results, since Lenovo bought the IBM PC business. I pointed out that he would find links to a lot of drivers for the Z60m on their "Drivers and software – ThinkPad Z60m" page.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Jeep noise on 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee
I just purchased a 04 grand cherokee SE 4.0L. I never owned a jeep, but they seem to be a bit noisey when the driving. when i accelerate sounds like a a remote control car, a whizzing noise. Is that normal? is their anything i can do to quiet this down? I was thinking a HUB,powersteering pump?
Depending what transfer case you have in this car. I used to own 96 Grand cherokee 4.0L with 242 transfer case, and when it was in 2WD mode you could hear the gears in transfer case just whirring inside. It might be what you are hearing. Does it sound louder when 4WD is engaged?
| |
first step is to get the noise diagnosed. suggest using a good local shop that knows Jeep. it could be a bearing noise or it could be tire noise. you will need someone
to drive the vehicle, then see if the noise repeats while raised on a lift.

Unanswered: Log (dml) to logfile from within trigger
I'm looking for a way to log the dml statement -or (error) messages- from the triggerbody to a logfile.
I got an application which inserts records into a table, but is not programmed to catch errors (returned by an 'raise_application_error' in the trigger on the table).
Of course I can update an 'error-log-table' but I would like to log the whole dml (or my own error message) to logfile as well. (Oracle9i)
Is that possible an if so: how?

Re: Log (dml) to logfile from within trigger
We actually log the DML to a table not a file. We have a Log Schema that has the same table structure as the production schema accept each table has Update_Time, Update_User, and Update_Type (I = Insert, D = Delete, U=Update) This allows us to keep track of each modification, and query it when necessary. It is done in a Logging trigger. Below is the code to determine the type of DML.
IF INSERTING THEN lv_logtype := 'I'; ELSIF UPDATING THEN lv_logtype := 'U'; ELSE lv_logtype := 'D'; END IF;
I'm sure you can tweak this mentality to write records to a file instead of a table. And you can build the actual DML statment if that is necessary.
lv_dml_statment := 'Insert Into Table_Name(Col1,Col2) ' || 'Values (''' || :NEW.Col1 || ''',''' || :NEW.Col2 || ''')';
