Home directory package manager
I always wanted to manage the files in my home directory. Generally, it's a complete mess and I wanted to get things right and understand the files I had.
At first, I just created a simple shell script that maintained symbolic links of
the dotfiles and dordirs of my homedirs to
.local/config, sort of early XDG
configuration directory. I also changed my .bashrc and later .zshrc to point to
files in
.local/etc/profile.d. The shell script was reading a database in
.local/config/database.sh that contained the link information in the form.
The script did the following for each file declared:
- if the file existed in the homedir but not in the database directory, it was simply moved and a link was created in its place.
- if the file existed at both places, tell there is a conflict.
- if the file existed in the database directory but not in the homedir, create the link
The database looks like:
link ".bashrc" "bashrc"
link ".zshrc" "zshrc"
# First file in home directory
# Second file in .local/config
My script just defined a function
link and sourced the database. But links
were not easy to construct in shell. So later, I decided to rewrite it in Tcl,
simply because the syntax is compatible (I love the Tcl syntax for that) and
because of the wonderful file command.
Later, I improved the script that was then called
fixdir to list which files
were not managed, and display them. So I could either delete those files
(because I don't care about them) or integrate them in the database. The script
gained a
clean command to automatically remove files declared as noisy.
Now, I have a slightly different problem. I have now different computers which do not have all the same configuration. At first, I synchronized everything and just used the hostname in the database to get different links depending on the machine. But now, with my computer at work, I will not synchronize all the personal configurations. i have to get to a modular approach.
And this script did not help me in tracking what programs I installed in
~/.local/{bin,share,lib}. For this, I wanted something like stow. I
tried using stow, but it failed with a conflict. Then I tried using
homedir. I just didn't like it because it created an ugly
instead of
Then I realized my
fixdir script looks much like
homedir already, and I
patched it up to make it better. And there it is.
The current version of fixdir is on github.
Let me copy the README file:
What is it?
This is my homedir package manager. Written first in shell then translated in tcl. Originally, this was just to maintain a set of symbolic links from my home directory to a directory where all important comfig files were stored. Then I decided to make it a package manager.
How to install it?
git clone git://github.com/mildred/fixdir.git fixdir
"$fixdir_dir/fixdir" install "$fixdir_dir/hpkg.tcl"
fixdir is installed in
~/.local/bin. Make sure it is in your
How does it work
fixdir works better when you are in your target directory (homedir)
Invoke one action with a database file. The database file is a tcl script that contain all files and directories that should be linked.
What else can it do?
fixdir unknown list all files not manages by fixdir in the current directory
fixdir clean remove files declared as noisy
- fixdir list doesn't work when pwd != target directory

Former Shepparton Swans secretary Rhonda Kortum is the Goulburn Valley Football League's newest board member.
But there is still one vacant seat to be filled following the resignation of David Fox in August.
That position won't be confirmed at tonight's annual meeting at AFL Goulburn Murray's Kialla headquarters, according to league chairman David Roff.
He said there would be more pressing issues to discuss and a decision about the vacancy would have to be made another time.
Roff was up for re-election, along with Philip Friedlieb and Braydon Aitken, after their two-year terms came to an end.
Aitken decided not to nominate again, with Kortum the only outsider to throw her hat in the ring.
Roff, Friedlieb, Kortum, Freddo McMahon, Mick Williams and Quentin Thomson are the current board members.
Fox resigned from his position following the board's decision to give a licence to community radio station One FM to live-stream this year's preliminary final and grand final.
The GVFL board put the live-streaming coverage for last season's finals series out to tender in July, with bids from producer and cameraman Haig Lindsay and One FM put on the table.
Lindsay has produced live football coverage for the league since 2013, with Fox and John ''J.R.'' Ryan leading the commentary team.
Their coverage had been used for three grand finals, along with four home-and-away games last season, as well as interleague matches.
The league is expected to finally unveil publicly the sale price of the former office at Dunkirk Ave after the prized asset was sold in June.
In the league's annual report of 2015, the value of the building was $206200, accounting for depreciation following its 2011 valuation.

A fair amount of strong play on its part, plus no small amount of good fortune, put the Oneida girls volleyball team in prime position to earn its third Section III Class A championship in five years.
However, in Saturday night's championship match against defending champion Fulton at Jamesville-DeWitt High School, the Indians saw fortune turn against them, beaten in three close games as the Red Raiders repeated its title.
Oneida brought a loud and boisterous cheering section to J-D for the final against Fulton, who had risen from a no. 6 seed to knock off no. 3 seed Carthage and no. 2 seed Homer to reach this title match.
Early mistakes haunted the Indians in the first game as it fell behind as much as six points, including 20-14. Oneida rallied, though, and even took a 23-22 lead late in the game as it seemed ready to take the lead.
But Fulton called a time-out, regrouped, won the next point to get back the serve and tie it, then got the last two points to pull out a 25-23 win.
Much the same thing happened in the second game, in that Oneida fell behind 14-9, stormed back to tie it on two occasions (18-18 and 19-19), then saw Fulton counter and make the big move, the game ending 25-21 this time around.
Determined to keep the match going, the Indians claimed an 11-6 advantage in the third game, yet gave that up to the Red Raiders as the game went through 10 different ties. At 22-22, though, a controversial net call went Fulton's way, and despite Oneida fighting off a match point, the Red Raiders closed it out 25-23.
Rachael Kline still had 11 kills, while Paige Pendleton gained seven kills. Clare Henry finished with 13 digs as Mary Sheridan gained seven digs. Shannon Dowling put together 11 assists and 11 digs as Melissa Murawski earned 12 assists, four digs and three aces. Ann DuChene had five digs.
Finishing with a mark of 13-5, Oneida sees four seniors depart — Kline, Henry, libero Maggie Lynch and Kelsey Wagner. The return of stars like Pendleton (just a sophomore), Dowling, Sheridan, DuChene, Murawski and Lena Reginelli has Oneida poised to be big again in 2010-11.
Earlier on Saturday, the Hamilton girls volleyball team saw its dream of a Section III Class D championship fell one victory short — again.
The Emerald Knights could not pick off a game from Living Word Academy in Saturday's championship game at Jamesville-DeWitt High School, falling to the Lions in three games. The scores were 25-20, 25-17 and 25-17.
Every time Hamilton (who lost to Oppenheim-Ephratah in last year's final) tried to put a string of points together, Living Word would answer as Alexa Bellucci (13 kills), Genise Gilbert (seven blocks) and Laurin Smith (29 assists) led the winning effort.
Hamilton finished with an 18-4 record and will see three key seniors – Tiffany Jones-Maxwell, Kaitlyn Askew and Sam Martin – depart, leaving the task quite tall for next season.

The Made in Italy Business Directory
The "Made in Italy" surprise: just when you think what you're looking for can't be manufactured in Italy, you can be proven wrong. For example, in the case of Maico, the Bolzano-based leader in locking mechanisms, who recently supplied, through its client Danese S.p.A., hardware for the 53 windows of the Italian-French Concordia Antarctic Base, which accommodates 32 scientists and must be resistant to temperatures that can fall to 84 degrees centigrade below zero. Maico's versatility is all-encompassing: the ability to adapt their own solutions to any climatic condition has also allowed the company to make, alongside Albertini S.p.A., shutters for luxurious Hawaiian villas along the Pacific coast.
These are just two examples that confirm Maico's ability to bring its own products to "challenging" settings, to both hot and extremely cold climates. "In both cases – said the CEO Siegfried Zwick – these are extreme situations that allow us to prove we are specialists in extreme solutions. Thanks to our exclusive anti-rust discovery "Tricoat", we can produce hardware that is resistant to all kinds of corroding or harsh agents: humidity, sodium chloride, acids". The "Tricoat" patent won both the European Din En Iso 9227 certification and licence eligibility in the United States. The number of potential markets is therefore without bounds. According to Maico managers, the new product could allow the company to enter a new market worth at least 5 million Euro over the next three years.
These are numbers of great importance for a group that in 2007 recorded an export value equal to 4 million Euro, an increase of 20% compared with the previous year. If exports have increased into double figures, the total turnover recorded for 2007 was a smaller increase than the previous financial year by 73 million Euro (up 6.7%). For 2008, company bosses expect an even higher increase in exports, with interesting performance in Spain in particular (above 10%). "The foreign markets with most demand for Italian hardware - explains Siegfried Zwick – are the United States and Japan."
The United States in particular is the world's largest importer of hardware. In the US market, Italy is the 13th largest supplier with exports equal to 8 million dollars in 2007. This is the same value of Italian exports as Japan, but in the Far East, Italy is the fifth largest supplier. "Hardware is now perceived as a furnishing accessory: functional yes, but also beautiful, as only an Italian-made product can be", highlights Zwick. In order to offer solutions to an increasingly demanding market with products that are both stylistically appealing and equipped with advanced features, every year Maico invests a large proportion of its revenues in new technology. It is not by chance that, in 2007, 13.5% of turnover was secured by new products on the market
If 2008 bodes well, the company's mid-term strategic aim is 2010. "It is the timescale - he explains - that we gave ourselves to reach our turnover target of 100 million Euro". In 2007, meanwhile, for the fifth year in a row, Maico has gained new market shares (up 1.8%), despite the negative cycle that has hit the industry. "Despite difficult times, for the second half of 2008 - the CEO discloses - we predict a turnover growth of 8%, with revenues in 2008 that will reach 79 million Euro".

Does it even matter who wins the Browns' No. 1 quarterback job?
As the preseason games got under way last week, new coach Eric Mangini had yet to make a decision on which of the two candidates for the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback job -- Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn -- would end up under center for Week 1 of the preseason and beyond. He even took his unwillingness to commit so far as to list both men side-by-side on the team's depth chart as "co-starters." Of course, it's hard to fault Mangini because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter one bit which quarterback ends up winning the job. Neither one has any business on your fantasy team in 2009.
The local media has been all over the Anderson-Quinn soap opera, with mock rumors of "sabotage" spinning out of control after the radio transmitter in Derek Anderson's helmet wasn't working during a scrimmage. Still, it all seems to be much ado about nothing. Regardless of whether it's Quinn or Anderson throwing the ball, there aren't many solid, fantasy-worthy options around to catch it. The Browns' offense is a shadow of its former self after the release of Joe Jurevicius, the trade of Kellen Winslow to Tampa Bay and the season-long suspension of Donte' Stallworth. That's more than 35 percent of the Browns' receptions over the past two seasons.
Braylon Edwards is still around, but coming off a season in which he led the league in dropped passes. Former Lions wideout Mike Furrey seems to have developed some sort of chemistry with both candidates for the job, but he's more suited for a No. 3 receiver role. Winslow's average over the past three seasons was 71 catches, and that would have been even higher if not for his injury problems in 2008. Meanwhile Robert Royal, the new Browns tight end, has had 81 receptions total over the past three seasons. That's a significant dropoff in talent. Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi are both rookies with potential, but how much they'll be able to contribute out of the gate remains to be seen.
The first preseason game against the Packers did little to quell fears of a long season ahead for the Browns. Brady Quinn got the "start," for what that was worth. He did complete a few short passes to Furrey and Royal over the middle but essentially spent his first series handing the ball off to Jamal Lewis before the drive stalled. After that, Anderson came on for an incomplete pass and two handoffs before a Dave Zastudil punt. In the second quarter, Anderson was picked off after only three plays and was done for the night. Quinn came on for the team's final series of the half and threw several short passes in the two-minute drill, leading a fairly successful drive that should have ended in a score, but Edwards dropped a ball in the end zone. Surprise, surprise! On the next play, Quinn went looking for Edwards again and was picked off. Yes, it was only a preseason game, but that initial impression sure seems to us to be a microcosm of what to expect going forward.
After all, Cleveland's defense did little to stand in the way of Aaron Rodgers & Co., as the Packers ran 78 plays to the Browns' 45 in a 17-0 victory. And therein lies the biggest hurdle of all for the Browns' offense this season: the poor defense. This team was outscored by 98 points over its past six games last season, and it lost linebackers Andra Davis and Willie McGinest. So the odds are that this team will be playing from behind an awful lot, and if that's the case, expect opposing defenses, including tough division rivals Pittsburgh and Baltimore, to have a field day sending wave after wave of blitzes into the backfield.
Not every Browns player is doomed for failure. Even though Lewis failed to reach 100 yards rushing in any game last season, he could well have a solid game or two in 2009. After all, with Eric Mangini calling the plays, expect a more conservative, run-the-ball, throw-it-short approach to moving the ball downfield. The approach can shorten the game and give the defense an extended recovery time, when it works, and heck, maybe this strategy will even get this team to .500 in '09. However, from a fantasy standpoint, it severely lowers the ceiling on fantasy output for receivers such as Edwards, as well as whomever winds up under center.
We're definitely leaning toward Quinn to end up as the winner of this quarterback competition. But whether we end up being right or wrong, drafting either Quinn or Anderson -- or both, and waiting for this whole thing to play out -- is a waste of your time and precious draft picks.

The battle to choose a new MP is the first significant test of public opinion since defeat in the EU referendum brought down David Cameron.
When he first resigned as prime minister he said he'd stay on representing his constituents in West Oxfordshire but he soon decided his presence in Parliament would be a distraction or worse for Theresa May's pro-Brexit pro-grammar school government.
So now there's a vacancy on the green benches which will be filled this week.
The Camerons plan to keep a base locally. Currently the family live in a relatively modest farmhouse in a village a few miles outside Chipping Norton.
The so-called Chipping Norton set, made up of local stars including Sam and Dave and local celebrities such as Jeremy Clarkson and Rebekah Brooks, is a thing of the past following the phone-hacking scandal.
Instead, Mr Cameron is well known and well liked by the ordinary locals in what is one of the UK's more affluent constituencies.
Witney is in fact a large rural area including a number of picturesque villages and towns built out of Cotswold Stone where 60% voted Conservative last time, giving Mr Cameron a 25,000 majority.
In all, there are 14 candidates standing in this by-election.
In a sign of the times, the Conservative candidate, Robert Courts, is a Brexit supporter but perhaps the most colourful hopeful is 83-year-old Larry Sanders, the brother of Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders.
Larry is a British citizen and a local councillor for the Green Party.
Labour were runners up at the General Election but the Liberal Democrats are campaigning hard hoping to get a boost in an area which voted heavily in favour of remaining in the EU.
Witney has had three star Tory MPs in a row.
Douglas Hurd was foreign secretary, Sean Woodward defected to Labour and later became a Cabinet minister, then came Mr Cameron.
Whoever is elected on Thursday will not be so high profile.

We received such great advice and feedback to my pre-holiday questions, I wanted to come back with a trip report which might help other families travelling in France and Spain.
I'll provide a brief overview of what we did and if anyone has questions, I'm happy to check back to provide more detail.
Firstly, we are two adults with three kids (5,5,2 years old). We had a five week holiday over Easter (March – April), equally split between France and Spain.
We used the French car lease back scheme and drove a Citroen Picasso Grande between cities and utilised public transport within cities. We travelled with our own car seats, travel baby cot, five weeks' worth of nappies etc. And while we actually had a lot of luggage,we found it fairly seamless, arriving at the airport, being met by the Citroen Rep, clicking our car seats in and away we went. With the use of a GPS, and despite the horror stories from others, we found the driving easy. We understand others find the driving distances vast, but perhaps coming from Australia and having kids who are used to driving holidays, we weren't bothered by this at all.
Accommodation wise, we either used AirBnB or booked apartments on Booking.com. We stayed exclusively in fully equipped, family apartments with secure off street car parks. Lots of the places we stayed at either had heated pools, big yards and/or toys for children.
Our itinerary turned out as follows. We had 10 days in the middle, which we booked on the road, allowing for some flexibility. The rest we pre-booked before we left. The towns listed below are where we slept each night. Major activities during that day are listed next. Most days also included a play at a park somewhere. Daylight savings started while we were in Paris and it was light until 8/9pm at night.
1 Arrive Paris
2 Paris – Lourve, Les Colonnes de Buren Square
3 Paris – Eiffle Tower, Sacre Coeur, Montmarte
4 Paris – Musee de L'Orangerie, Champ de Elysee, Laduree, Arc de Triumph (Hop on hop off bus)
5 Paris (Easter Sunday) – Notre Dame, Batobus Tour, Parc des Buttes Chaumont
6 Paris – Luxembourg Gardens
7 Mont St Michel – Depart Paris in early morning. Drive to Versailles. Depart after late lunch and drive to Mont St Michel.
8 Mont St Michel
9 Loire Valley – Depart early. Visit Azay-le-Rideau. It was torrential rain, so we skipped Villandry.
10 Loire Valley – Da Vinci House (Chateau du Close Luce, Parc Leonardo da Vinci), Amboise (Friday morning market).
11 Loire Valley – Chenonceau, Chambord
12 Orange – Depart early. Drive to Puy de Dome. Visit Vulcania amusement park. Drive to Orange. We actually stayed in a country farm house 20 minutes outside of Orange, perfect for kids.
13 Orange – Pont du Gard, Uzes
14 Orange – Caverne du Pont D'Arc, Aven d'Orgnac,
15 Orange –Gordes, Abbaye Notre-Dame de Senanque, Roussillon, Sault, Mont Venoux.
16 Orange – Fontaine de Vaucluse, L'Isle sur la Sorgue, Chocolaterie Castelain (Kids' chocolate cooking class), Teatre de Orange
17 Arles - Chateau des Baux de Provence, Carrieres de Lumineres. Drive to Arles.
18 Aigues Mortes/Camargue – Arles Saturday market. Drive to Aigues Mortes after lunch.
19 Aigues Mortes / Camargue – Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Gau, Salin de Bardon
20 Barcelona – Drive to Barcelona
21 Barcelona – Sagrada Familia, Picasso Gallery
22 Barcelona - Park Guell, La Boqueria food market, Las Ramblas
23 Valencia – Drive to Valencia.
24 Valencia – Oceanografic Aquarium, Gulliver's Park
25 Granada – Drive to Granada
26 Granada – Alhambra (highly recommend the kid's sticker book for keeping kids engaged as you walk around)
27 Granada - Sierra Nevada (build a snowman), Flamenco show.
28 Granada – I got up early and did the Lonely Planet El Nino Graffiti walk, Albayzin.
29 Cordoba – Drive to Cordoba. Stop at El Tornillo del Torcal National Park for a day walk.
30 Cordoba - Mezquita
31 Madrid – Drive to Madrid
32 Madrid –Reina Sofia, Chocolateria de San Gines, Plaza Mayor.
33 Madrid - Parque del Buen Retiro, Mercado de San Miguel.
34 Madrid – I went shopping by myself (Antigua Casa Talavera, Casa Hernanz, Monastery of Corpus Christi, Monasterio de la Visitacion), while hubby took the kids to the excellent Madrid Rio Park. Depart 10pm
What we would have done differently – We had terrible weather in Loire Valley. I think we would have dropped a night here and added a stop over in Puy de Dome. The kids loved Vulcania and, instead of just 4 hours, we could easily have spent the whole day.
Trip highlights – Mont St Michel, Chenonceau, Alhambra, Sierra Nevada, Vulcania, Sagrada Familia, Caverne du Pont D'Arc, Camargue's pink flamingos
Overall, we had a fabulous trip. We saw a lot, but still went slowly enough to allow for lots of croissants, carousels and ice-cream. Instead of fabulous restaurants, we visited many, many local parks along the way. Being able to cook our own breakfast and dinner each night was perfect for keeping the kids relaxed, saved a lot of money eating out and let us experience lots of local produce bought at the local farmer's markets along the way. With respect to galleries, we were very targeted, only visiting our most wanted and prepping the kids before hand with kid's books about Picasso, Mona Lisa etc.
It was our first overseas holiday with kids and while it was a totally different experience to travelling before children, we would do it again.

What a great trip! It sounds like it was a great experience for all involved.

I am a bit bemused by the concept of arriving with 5 weeks worth of nappies. France and Spain are not exactly South Sudan.

Re the nappies
Our daughter has sensitive skin and only one brand of wipes and nappies don't give her a rash. The change in tap water upset her tummy. I'm so glad we had the right nappies from home. A baby with nappy rash is best avoided while on the road.
We accidentally forgot our nappy bag while out in Paris one day and we did have a hard time finding a supermarket that sold nappies, as the pharmacy we tried didn't. And they were expensive!
We also brought certain snacks and five weeks worth of weatbix for my extremely fussy/ sensory issues son.
We had the space, bringing things from home that helped our kids be comfortable was a big part of our successful trip.

The day trips from Orange were great. For us the advantage of a lovely farm house for five days, complete with toys and a yard, outweighed the extra travel time. We also tried to group day trips into circuits, si we rarely drove the same roads twice.
If we didn't have kids, we would do it differently.
Report Abuse
Thanks for answering my question! Out of curiosity, how would you do it without kids (we don't have any)?
Report Abuse
Without kids you don't really need to try to create a base for them and it's easy to stay 2 nights here and there without worrying about adjusting. So we would choose a few little towns and stay 2 nights here and there and reduce drive time. But there are thousands of suggestions of itineraries for couples doing just this - you don't need my two cents!
Report Abuse
And I should add, with our GPS, we found the driving easy. French road rules are pretty straight forward, no trouble driving on the opposite side of the road and the roads were good. There are a lot of tolls and Via Michelin was great for working out routes.
Happy travels

Travelling anywhere with 3 young children is challenging, well done on your planning. A great experience for you all.
Am currently in Italy with teens, and even they prefer bases, rather than 1 or 2 nighters.
Report Abuse
Thanks for your perspective. In years past, we have tended to do spoke and wheel itineraries, with one base for a week or so. We like to rent apartments and they often require longer stays. But this coming year, we're doing something closer to what you suggest with shorter stays in more places--mostly because Andalucia doesn't lend itself to one base. So we!ll get to test which style we prefer.

It's funny, as a small child I absolutely loved changing hotels and cities every day (at age 6 then at age 10 then at age 14). Everybody is different.
At age 17 I was touring Europe alone and independently.

<Andalucia doesn't lend itself to one base> Understand what you mean, but Málaga city could work fine. 50 minutes to Córdoba (AVE Train), 90 minutes to Granada (bus), less than two hours to Sevilla (train) and some 40 minutes to Antequera, the so called heart or crossroads of Andalucía.
Report Abuse
Fair enough, Kimhe, but in planning the trip, I took note of how many people mentioned how different the towns can be after day trippers leave. So, we opted to have shorter stays in several places rather than a single base. Plus, each of the places we're visiting warrant more time it would seem than a single day trip would allow.

Hyderabad, India (PressExposure) June 01, 2008 -- UK-based Sun Group has firmed up plans to invest Rs 550 crore in the real estate sector in Punjab.
"Initially, the company would set up multi-facility project which will involve setting up of hotels, multiplexes and malls in the Mohali district," said a senior official of Punjab Industries Department.
A high level delegation from the company led by its Chairman Nand Khemka today met representatives of Punjab government and discussed their business plans with them, said an official release issued here today.
The regional consultant of the Sun Group, Dilbagh Singh Mangat, assured the Punjab Chief Minister that the group was happy with the investor friendly climate in the state.
He said that the group plans to replicate the Mohali venture in other parts of the state like Jalandhar, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Patiala and Bathinda.
It may be recalled that the sun group had already invested heavily in the revival of Punjab Wireless Systems (Punwire) for production of defence electronics and civil telecom items.

Speculation that COD4 has gone gold is apparently false despite the addition of COD4 to Fourzeotwo's Gamercard. According to Fourzerotwo's blog the team at Infinity Ward is testing the Single Player and using feedback from the ongoing Beta to fine tune the Multiplayer (including some improvements to Hit Detection problems caused by server lag).
I'm glad to hear they are working on Hit Detection, I don't know how many times I have seen my game register a Hit on my side but then when I'm watching the kill Cam I don't hit them at all.
Hit detection definitely needs to be fixed and Auto aim needs to be taken out of the game completely.
Yea hit detection kinda gets on my nerves. Love watching that killcam and seeing the guy I was shooting at never got shot, while I get blasted.
Spawn system needs to be fixed also. I don't know if they can do anything with it. I don't have any suggestions, but it's just ridiculous to kill a guy, then have him spawn practically with his gun pointing at you. Happens to me all the time. I'll kill a guy, then he'll spawn a second later behind me somewhere and waste me.
But other than that, this Beta has been one of the greatest online multiplayer experiences I've ever had. I love this game.
...they would allow you to select a game to join and not just assign you to one. I hate ending up in a game only to find my connection is crap. I also hate exiting that game to find another but ending back up in the same game!!!
That is what the Beta is for I hope. I found COD4 to be quite fun and addictive, however, all the points above are true.
To add to that, I wish they would actually get rid of the x that appears when you hit someone, especially behind obstacles. If someone is hiding and you shoot through a wall or throw a grenade for example, an x appears and it gives away where they are.
And I always spawn in a location close to where I died and thus, know where the _ucker that killed me is. I should be spawning as far away from where I died as possible (if possible).
Other than that... Level Design is Beautiful and Interesting. Can't wait to play the full version.

Whoregasm Trailer (1988)
01 January 1988 12 mins
Nick Zedd's controversial and disturbing WHOREGASM is a twelve-minute barrage of sexual loops interspersed with bits of found footage, dizzying opticals, and outtakes of Zedd's own POLICE STATE. The sex scenes, most which appear to be taken from old 8mm stag reels, are edited in such a way that makes the act of sex seem impersonal, mechanical, and altogether vile.
Watch the official Whoregasm 1988 trailer in HD below or find more Whoregasm videos on Vidimovie.

Company Overview
Latin Resources Limited is an Australian-based mineral exploration company focused on creating shareholder wealth through the identification and definition of mineral resources in Latin America. The Company has secured over 101,450 hectares of exploration concessions in the lithium pegmatite districts of Catamarca and San Luis Provinces, Argentina.
The company also has a portfolio of projects in Peru and is actively progressing its Iron Oxide-Copper-Gold and Copper Porphyry projects in the Ilo region with its joint venture partner First Quantum Minerals Ltd.
Latin believes the mineral rich countries within Latin America offer unique opportunity to grow shareholder wealth in a politically stable and fast-growing economic environment. Latin's wholly owned subsidiary, Peruvian Latin Resources, maintains an office and operational staff in Lima, Peru.
Key points about Latin Resources are as follows;
Total JORC Inferred Resource: Increased to 1.465 Bt Guadalupito Mineral Sands Project Q1 2013.
Conceptual Exploration Target: 4.5 billion tonne at Guadalupito
Positive Scoping Study: For a dredge mining operation for production of a heavy mineral concentrate at Guadalupito
Upside from further concentrate products: Including magnetite, andalusite, ilmenite, zircon, rutile and gold at Guadalupito.
Realigned focus at Ilo Norte Iron Ore Project: Follows the discovery of surface copper-gold mineralisation.
Six New Target Areas Generated: In the northern half of Latin's 100,000 hectares of 100% owned concessions promise IOCG style mineralisation and also good potential for Porphyry Copper deposits like the Tia Maria deposit (firstname.lastname@example.com% Cu, 0.199/t Au) only 3- km along strike to the NW of the new target areas.
In an Adjacent Concession Block to New Target Areas: Latin's Ilo Norte project hosts IOCG style mineralisation, is drill ready and 30km from port.

OGCC is pleased to announce the release of the ground breaking Roadkill Tracker! Help protect BC's wildlife by tracking roadkill. So What Exactly is ...
Discontinued App

OGCC is pleased to announce the release of the ground breaking Roadkill Tracker! Help protect BC's wildlife by tracking roadkill. So What Exactly is this? Ever been involved in a collision with wildlife and not known who to contact? Or have you ever passed roadkill and wondered what to do? Now you can help report roadkill to the Maintenance Contractor responsible for your location so that they can attend the scene. Just click and the notification is sent! At the same time the data is collected and analyzed to help better define wildlife corridors and reduce animal mortality! Ok...So how does it work? It's simple. Open the app, select the species, and click submit. The rest is all handled automatically. Using your GPS location, the app determines the maintenance contractor. You select the species from the drop down list, and then enter the highway name (if you want to...GPS kinda tells the whole story). Then hit submit. Two things happen: first, an email is sent to the maintenance contractor responsible for that area, detailing the location and species; second, the information is sent to the database where it is collected, verified and vetted, and then passed to the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation. With a couple clicks you are helping to ensure speedy cleanup of the road and defining areas where wildlife are being struck by vehicles. Please note that no personal information is collected at any time. At all. Period. Alright, but if I'm helping the government why does the app cost 99 cents? Good question. Part of it is because we have bills to pay here at OGCC. But check out our website to see what your purchase is going towards! You won't be disappointed! Download it now and start reporting! Be a hero! Want to see a version of this app deployed for your area? Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com

Bake sales are the best.
Homemade baked goods are the most "worth it" treat.
Amanda @ Run to the Finish has teamed up with Women's Health and will be running and fundraising for the FEED Project, which seeks to feed hungry US kids. Their RUN 10 FEED 10 program is really cool – you run a 10K and 10 children in your community are fed with the proceeds. (Amanda has a discount code you may use here.)
But you don't HAVE to run! You can opt to just eat. 🙂 Amanda is hosting an online blogger bake sale where 100% of the donations will towards feeding these kids.
Bidding began yesterday (I'm behind – sorry!), and bids will be accepted until August 7th 9AM EST. Winners will be contacted and asked to donate the specific amount via CrowdRise.
Hurry over and bid on your auction deliciousness here. There are tons be homemade items from bloggers (and products from several sponsors) available for bidding. A batch of my vegan, no-sugar added Chewy Granola Cookies are up for grabs… you might even get a little something extra. 😉
These WIAW meals were half eaten at work and half on the road. I didn't do the most elaborate job of planning, as I am enjoying my final week of "freedom" before I start competition prep in earnest!
Read on for my traveling food, and then check out Jenn's link up for everyone else's delicious days.
My morning cocktail (apple cider vinegar, water, Glutamine, and Fitmixer Aminos) happened, as usual. I swear this is the biggest addiction in my life.
I had an early morning meeting, so I made sure my breakfast was ready to grab a go. Overnight oats in a cottage cheese container! Almost as good as a PB jar…
This raspberry and maple-laced concoction was really good! And easy to eat from my lap on the way to work.
Raspberry-Maple Overnight Oats
- 1/4 C cottage cheese
- 1/4 C oatmeal
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tsp maple extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger
- 1/2 C almond milk
Mid-Morning Snack:
Like I mentioned last week, I have been into the Trader Joe's Balsamic Chicken. It's one of the few packaged things I buy, but when I'm traveling a lot this is a great (low sodium) item to keep on hand.
Eaten with veggies I pre-roasted on Sunday with some marinara sauce and nutritional yeast.
I was running out of my office to get my stuff ready for the airport (and squeeze in a workout… shhhh!), so this almost didn't even get pictured. A mix of no salt deli turkey, celery, hummus, and cayenne.
It was so quick I called it the lazy girl's turkey salad. 😉
Afternoon Snack:
I have become obsessed with post-workout Chocolate + Beet Protein Smoothie Bowls. I used this recipe again, but added spinach and topped it with muesli and kabocha squash.
No exaggeration, I could eat this every meal.
Dinner was eaten in Florida. I hopped a plane, ate some unpictured pretzels, and went right to dinner with my co-worker. We hit up Columbia, a famous Cuban spot and Florida's oldest restaurant. It was delicious!
We started with giant warm, crusty loaves of Cuban bread and the 1905 Salad. The bread was amazing… the salad… I'd say it's basically a Chef's salad with no egg and a ton of dressing. I also enjoyed a margarita – one of the best I've ever had!
My main was massive. The server highly recommended the Camarones Rellenos "Jesse Gonzalez."
I thought shrimp would be light-ish… I learned that it's not when it's stuffed with lump crab and a generous helping of butter. Did I mention it was served with rice, beans, and roasted veggies? And that my co-worker ordered sides of yucca and fried plantains?
Call me happy and roll me home.
You know I'm full when I can't even imagine eating dessert.
Hell froze over.
Tomorrow I fly back home and Thursday I drive to South Carolina. Despite the craziness all I can think about is 1) When do I get to go to the farmer's market to get "my" food and 2) How am I going to fit a workout in Thursday and Friday?
Have you checked out the bake sale? What item is catching your eye?
Does the combo of beets and chocolate sound #strangebutgood to you? I thought it was normal until I told my co-worker about it…

The London Bridge, currently located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, USA, was originally built in London, in 1831.
By 1962, it was determined that the bridge was not structurally sound enough to support the increased load created by the level of modern traffic crossing it. As a result, it was sold by the City of London in 1968 to entrepreneur Thomas McCullough, who moved it to its present location in Arizona.
At a cost of $7.5 million, the bridge was distmanted from its position over the Thames River and reassembled on the Colorado River in Arizona. Mr. McCullough had no idea that the transfer would stir up the ghosts that had taken up residence in the ancient stones. It was reopened on October 10, 1971.
Shortly thereafter, witnesses reported seeing the ghosts of a woman and a British bobby walking on the bridge at night. Lake Havasu City is at the California border on Highway 95. Find out more about Lake Havasu and the London Bridge here.

SNL has had its ups and downs in the past few years with some not-so-funny moments. But with Andy Samberg joining the team, it's definitely been looking up.
Let's take a look at his addition of the SNL Digital Short. Starting with Lazy Sunday, it's really sparked some new laughs. Besides being hilarious, it shows how music and comedy fuse to make an strong effect. Remember Samberg's collabo with Natalie Portman and Justin Timberlake? Here's the new one he did about controversial political head, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Not only did he enlist the president, but Maroon 5's Adam Levine and even Jake Gyllenhaal (who does have a striking resemblance to Ahmadinejad) make a cameo. And who could miss Samberg's piano playing Vanessa-Carlton-A-Thousand-Miles-Style?
And not that it was that original to come up with a skit for High School Musical 3 (since there will be another one), but of course SNL had to take Vanessa's story, Lebron's hosting appearance and Samberg's singing skills(?) to make an entertaining 2.5ish minutes of your life.

The Party Line is the political position taken by a group or, more generally a cultural position taken by manipulators. We were told that the line was something used by the Soviets in the USSR. Now it is used by the Puppet Masters running the Main Stream Media and Education industry. It is a weapon in their Culture War against us, against Western Civilization. That is why they complain so loudly about Racism, why they object to people using the word Nigger unless they are black.
All of this applies to the Propaganda machines in Western Civilization. In Israel it is different; when those puppet masters are among their own they treat Blacks with contempt & hatred; regarding them as Untermenschen [ the Nazis term for subhumans ].
All of this was demonstrated by the torrent of hate unleashed by the BBC against the patriotic Englishmen alleged to have killed a black, one Stephen Lawrence. They alleged Racism loud and long then proved their corruption by their indifference to Kriss Donald's murder. They didn't care about Kriss because he was a Scot i.e. White while his murderers were vicious Pakistanis.
Party Line ex Wiki
In politics, the line or the party line is an idiom for a political party or social movement's canon agenda, as well as specific ideological elements specific to the organization's partisanship. The common phrase toeing the party line describes a person who speaks in a manner that conforms to his political party's agenda. Likewise, a party-line vote is one in which most or all of the legislators from each political party voted in accordance with that party's policies. In several countries, a whip attempts to ensure this.
The Marxist-Leninist concept (see General line of the party) of democratic centralism involves strict adherence to, and defense of, a communist party's positions in public.
According to American educator Herbert Kohl, writing about debates in New York in the late 1940s and early 1950s,[1]
The term "politically correct" was used disparagingly, to refer to someone whose loyalty to the CP [ Communist Party ] line overrode compassion, and led to bad politics. It was used by Socialists against Communists, and was meant to separate out Socialists who believed in egalitarian moral ideas from dogmatic Communists who would advocate and defend party positions regardless of their moral substance.— "Uncommon Differences"
On the other hand, in inner-party debate sessions, the line can be questioned, criticized, and changed if necessary[need quotation to verify].
Used loosely, the phrase "the party line" may also refer to the non-party organizations such as religious groups, business offices, or social network a that may have a semi-official organizational policy or position that is unrelated to any political party.

Emile Hirsch makes light of dad-to-be reports
Actor Emile Hirsch is making light of reports suggesting he is set to be a first-time father, but refuses to confirm or deny the rumours. Sources tell the New York Daily News the Into The Wild star's former girlfriend is over five months pregnant.
The insider tells the publication, "His friends know about it, he is doing the right thing and will be taking care of her and his baby financially.
"He will definitely be in her life and wants to be a part of the baby's life. He's told all his friends about it and it's fine… They're friends and they're young and they're figuring it out."
The baby is reportedly due in February (13).
Taking to Twitter.com to address the story, Hirsch jokes, "I have a baby announcement to make. I am in fact RonanFarrow 's biological father."
The tweet pokes fun at another story which blew up on Wednesday (02Oct13) – Mia Farrow told Vanity Fair that ex-husband Frank Sinatra could "possibly" be her son Ronan's dad. She gave birth to Ronan when she was married to Woody Allen.

Pull&Bear started up in 1991 with a clear international mission and with the intention of dressing young people who are engaged with their environment, who live in the community and relate to each other. Young people who have a casual dress sense, who shun stereotypes and who want to feel good in whatever they are wearing. To meet their needs, Pull&Bear takes the latest international trends, mixing them with the influences that are seen on the street and in the most fashionable clubs, and reworks them according to their style thus turning them into comfortable and easy to wear garments, always at the best prices.
Pull&Bear evolves at the same pace as its customer, always watching out for new technologies, social movements and the latest artistic or musical trends. All of this can be seen reflected not only in its designs but also in stores. Inspired by the lofts of New York, renewal is a constant. All stores worldwide receive new merchandise twice a week.

Interview: 'J. Edgar' Star Leonardo DiCaprio
In one of the rare moments of levity to be found in J. Edgar, a solemn biopic tracing the rise to power of J. Edgar Hoover, the legendary and controversial head honcho of the FBI for much of the 20th century, Hoover's mother (Judi Dench) reassures her son that he is not getting too bulky by insisting, "It's nothing other than solid weight on a man." What makes Mrs. Hoover's comforting lie even funnier is the realization that the bulldog-faced man she is talking to is a character who just happens to be played by Leonardo DiCaprio, best known as the wispy, youthful dreamboat who helped Titanic plow through box-office records 14 years ago.
However, it would be unfair to pretend that DiCaprio's transformation into the kind of mature leading man who could credibly step into Hoover's impeccably polished dress shoes has happened overnight. The star has gained plenty of solid acting weight in the years since Titanic, due to an admirable interest in tackling psychologically dark roles for A-list filmmakers. His gallery of tortured anti-heroes includes the grief-consumed subconscious extractor in Christopher Nolan's Inception; the disillusioned, argumentative suburban patriarch of Sam Mendes' Revolutionary Road; and, of course, the mentally unstable protagonists of frequent collaborator Martin Scorsese's The Aviator, The Departed, and Shutter Island.
With J. Edgar, the thrice-Oscar-nominated actor teams up for the first time with director Clint Eastwood, who guides DiCaprio through another characterization that doesn't exactly beg for audience sympathy. The film follows Hoover from his early career triumphs of establishing the Federal Bureau of Investigation and putting an end to the reign of bank robbers like John Dillinger to his reputation-tarnishing, paranoia-fueled later years spent tapping the phones of radical figures such as Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. to appease misguided suspicions of Communism.
Showing no similar signs of career decline himself, DiCaprio, who turns 37 years old this coming Friday (also, in a neat fluke of timing, the date J. Edgar opens nationwide), talked to us about Hoover's notorious aversion to maintaining personal relationships, the real truth behind Eastwood's fabled three-takes-only shooting style, and the particular environmental cause that is currently occupying his time away from the spotlight.
What attracted you to the J. Edgar script, written by Milk Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black?
I think the screenplay that Clint and I initially responded to by [Black] was a very fascinating portrait of this man, and I think all of us as actors were very fascinated with these characters that had devoted their [lives] to government service, and that meant not having any kind of personal life whatsoever. They were representations of the FBI. That was their church. And it's a hard concept for me to wrap my head around, to completely sacrifice any sort of love in your life, to never experience that on a personal level.
What else about Black's portrait of Hoover appealed to you?
What I was fascinated by was his take on entering J. Edgar Hoover's career during a time of almost a terrorist invasion by Communists … and how J. Edgar Hoover really transformed the police system in America and created this federal bureau that, to this day, is one of the most feared and respected and revered police forces in the entire world. Of course, the story goes on to his later years, where he became this, in essence, political dinosaur who didn't adapt to the changing of our country. The one thing that was prevalent throughout his entire career was his staunch belief that Communism was an evil thing, and he wanted to retain the fundamental principles of democracy in our country. But when the civil rights movement came along, he saw that as an uprising of the people. He stayed in power way too long, and he didn't listen to his own critics. Therefore, his career ended on a failed note, in my opinion. So [Black's] portrait of this man was a very complex one and a very interesting one.
What do you think is valuable and relevant about making this movie now?
I think [Black] put it best when he said, "Look, if we can better understand these people and their motivations, and how this ambition manifested itself [in] their politics, we can learn from them." We can learn from history. To me, you couldn't write a character like J. Edgar Hoover and have it be believable. [Laughs] I mean, he was a crock pot of eccentricities. We couldn't even fit all his eccentricities into this movie. We could go on and on, but the fact [is] this man was, if not the most powerful man in the last century, one of the most [powerful] in our country, and he lived with his mother until he was 40 years old. He listened to his mother for political advice.
Do you find it ironic that a period piece about the government violating the individual's right to privacy is opening in an era in which that is still a hot-button issue?
Well, it's interesting in this day and age to do a film about espionage and wire-tapping. I don't think that those types of secrets that J. Edgar Hoover was able to obtain and keep for such a long period of time would be possible in today's [culture], you know, with the Internet [and] Wiki-leaks. This was a different day and age, and there were huge, catastrophic events that were going to happen if we didn't have a federal police system like that investigating a lot of activities that were going on in our country. I mean, it's an argument or a topic that people could talk about till they're blue in the face … but I don't think that J. Edgar Hoover would be able to do the same job in today's era, with all this massive distribution of information in a matter of seconds.
Eastwood has a reputation for working very quickly. Did you ever have to do more than three takes of a scene?
We actually did a lot of takes on this movie. I never left the set wanting more, that's for sure. This was a very, very difficult character for me … and at times, we went and did eight or nine or ten takes on a single day. Clint is very adaptable and has his process, and what he does is expect you to plant your feet and speak the truth, like James Cagney says, and that's what we tried our best to do on this movie. He gave us everything we could possibly ask for as actors.
How did he pull that off?
He has almost like this splinter-cell unit of people on set, the bare minimum. It's like an elite squadron of Marines that are there, and they sort of fade away, and that third wall disappears, and you start to feel like you're actually submerged in reality and you're really there. And it's incredibly helpful as an actor to feel like you're immersed in that environment.
Not bad for an 81-year-old director.
From an outsider's perspective, it's amazing what he does. I mean, if he's not directing a film, he's acting in it, or he's composing the music for that film. And his commitment to what he does is astounding for all of us to witness. It's inspiring, actually.
Speaking of aging, how difficult was it to play Hoover as an old man nearing the end of his life with the assistance of elaborate makeup?
The challenge for me was not just the prosthetic work and how to move like an older man, it was more so how to have 50 years of experience in the workplace and talk to a young Robert F. Kennedy as if he was some political upstart that didn't know what the hell he was talking about. That was a big challenge.
Are you worried that playing such a power-mad character will hurt your career?
No, not at all. I don't have to empathize or sympathize with a human being in order to be able to play them. Some of the greatest roles that actors have been able to play haven't been the most endearing onscreen.
Your efforts as an environmental activist have led to the establishment of the DiCaprio Foundation. Why is the environment important to you?
Why is it important to me? It's important to everybody. I think that the environmental movement is the biggest people's movement in the world. Unfortunately, our governments and our corporations haven't responded accordingly to protect our planet's natural resources. But ever since I was very young, I've been fascinated with nature, and I actually wanted to be a marine biologist when I was very young, and that was a great passion of mine. So I suppose in the off season when I'm not making movies, I became more and more active as an environmentalist and trying to be more vocal about issues that I felt were important, and I created my foundation as a result of that.
What specific environmental causes are you involved in at the moment?
Right now, the campaign that I'm involved in is to save the last remaining wild tigers throughout Asia. There [are] only 3200 left in the wild. There [are] more tigers in Texas in cages than there are tigers in the wild, and we're at the risk of losing this iconic species for all time.
J. Edgar opens in limited release this Wednesday before expanding nationwide on Friday.

Round 5 of MLS Fantasy Soccer: Manager was full of goals — in fact, it was the second-most of any round this season. Even with three teams missing action due to byes, nine teams managed to tally multiple scores in their outings. Only three teams secured clean sheets this week (FC Dallas, Houston Dynamo and Sporting KC) and Matt Hedges was the only player in Round 5 to make the Dream Team in back-to-back weeks. Benny Feilhaber and Will Johnson both made their first Dream Team appearance of the season.
How many players do you have on the Overall Dream Team?
Round 5 Statistics
- Most Captained player: Chris Wondolowski (3,125 people)
- Transfers made: 19,616
- Wildcards played: 387
- # teams that scored 0 goals: 3
- # teams that scored 1 goals: 4
- # teams that scored 2+ goals: 9
- # clean sheets per round: 7, 2, 5, 6, 3
- # goals scored per round: 24, 21, 17, 16, 22
Dream Team formation: (5-4-1)
Top Player: Benny Feilhaber, Will Johnson – 13 points
Defenders (5)
Five defenders secured a spot on the weekly DT for the fourth time in five rounds, which highly justifies the importance of their role in FS:M. Michel ($5.1m), Matt Hedges ($5.1m), Jair Benítez ($5.0m) and FC Dallas recorded their second clean sheet in as many weeks. Sporting KC's Matt Besler ($6.0m) and Houston's Jermaine Taylor ($5.5m) also pefromed at a high level, helping secure clean sheets at home against the Montreal Impact and San Jose Earthquakes. Three other defenders tallied eight points in Round 5.
Midfielders (4)
Graham Zusi ($9.8m) and co-player of the week, Feilhaber ($7.8m), connected on a great goal late in the second half of Saturday's game against the Montreal Impact. Johnson ($7.4m) and Hendry Thomas ($6.0m) had surprising performances in their 2-2 draw at Dick's Sporting Goods Park in Colorado. This was the first Dream Team appearance for Portland and Colorado this season. Five other midfielders had eight points in Round 5.
Forwards (1)
Since Round 1 we have not seen outstanding production from the forward pool. In Round 1, three forwards produced double-digit outings, a feat we've only seen two other forwards accomplish since then. Péguy Luyindula ($7.5m) is the only forward represented this week even though three other forwards managed to post the same magic number. Luyindula was the only one who didn't score, but his game-winning assist to Thierry Henry was definitely DT worthy.
Goalkeeper – Raúl Fernández (FC Dallas)
This is Fernández's ($5.5m) first DT appearance. Chris Seitz ($4.7m) has made it tough for Schellas Hyndman to choose a starter, but this performance should dim talks of a change, for now at least.

Signing up is easy – here are the codes for some of the best leagues. Congratulations to Thomas Rye (Harrison St TRye) who put up 82 points in Round 5. Rye chose Sporting KC's Zusi as his Captain!

Reusable, 'Green' Grocery Bags Raise Questions About Lead Content/
GreenTracker| Going green is just one more complicated activity of modern living. The NYT reports that safety concerns are mounting about the amount of lead in Chinese-manufactured synthetic, reusable grocery bags. There's no evidence that these bags pose an immediate public health threat, but concerns are mounting so rapidly that NY Senator Charles E. Schumer sent a letter on Sunday to the Food and Drug Administration, requesting an investigation.
Thankfully, Anne uses burlap. Woops, it's lined with clear plastic. Read on at NYT.

Not the trend you want to be showing as you work towards an IPO: In its Q1 ended March 31, Current TV had ad revenue of just $2.5 million, a decline from $2.64 million in the year-ago quarter, according to an amended S-1 filing. Total revenue for the quarter was up 23 percent, helped by growth in distribution revenue. Ultimately though, the Al Gore-backed cable network needs to show improvement on the ad side. It even identifies this as a key issue going forward: "We generated approximately 16% and 15% of our revenue in 2007 and in the three months ended March 31, 2008, respectively, from advertising fees, and our business model contemplates that over the longer term the majority of our revenue growth will be derived from advertising."
Meanwhile, though revenues grew overall, losses expanded in the quarter. Net loss came to $7.5 million compared to $2.9 million a year ago. Across the board in sales and marketing, production and general and administrative, costs were up big year over year.
The filing doesn't specifically say what led to the drop in ad revenue, but it does hint at some operational issues. Among them: A young advertising sales team that's having a hard time selling its inventory to wary advertisers. It also mentions some issues relating to user-gen media and user-gen ads, but ultimately the name of the game is viewership: "Historically, new television networks have received negligible ratings in the first several years in which they are rated. If we become rated and receive negligible ratings, advertisers may be less interested in sponsoring our content or paying rates consistent with our expectations, and our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected."
As for the balance sheet, it has cash on hand of just $6.1 million and debt of around $41 million; that's up from $36 million at the end of last year. It looks as though its debt will have to expand to continue financing operations at this rate. In this market, this could be a tough IPO to pull off.

text: Jan 24 - Fitch Ratings has affirmed Nqaba Finance 1 as follows: Class A9 affirmed at 'AAA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class A10 affirmed at 'AAA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class A11 affirmed at 'AAA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class A12 affirmed at 'AAA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class A14 affirmed at 'AAA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class A15 affirmed at 'AAA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class B9 affirmed at 'AA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class B10 affirmed at 'AA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class B11 affirmed at 'AA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class B12 affirmed at 'AA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class B13 affirmed at 'AA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class B14 affirmed at 'AA(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class C9 affirmed at 'A+(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class C10 affirmed at 'A+(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class C11 affirmed at 'A+(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class C13 affirmed at 'A+(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class C14 affirmed at 'A+(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class D4 affirmed at 'A-(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class D5 affirmed at 'A-(zaf)'; Outlook Stable Class D6 affirmed at 'A-(zaf)'; Outlook Stable The transaction is a securitisation of mortgage loans originated by Eskom Finance Company ('EFC', Not Rated) incorporated in South Africa. The mortgages have been advanced by EFC to employees of Eskom Holdings SOC Limited (Eskom, 'AAA(zaf)'/Stable/'F1+(zaf)') and its group companies. South Africa's sovereign local currency Long-term Issuer Default Rating was downgraded to 'BBB+' on 10 January 2013, and the subsequent recalibration of South Africa's national rating scale resulted in Eskom's National scale rating being revised to AA+(zaf). During the initial rating analysis Fitch has communicated that the ratings on Nqaba's notes would be capped at Eskom's National scale rating as the company is the employer of the large majority of borrowers. Fitch maintains that there is a much stronger dependency for Nqaba's notes ratings on the credit quality of the originator than in other RMBS transactions as it is the key employer of borrowers. However, Fitch has changed its view towards a strict rating cap and henceforth will allow for a limited rating differential. Fitch maintains that the employer concentration in Nqaba creates inherent risks that could materialise upon an Eskom insolvency, and which are not present in other RMBS transactions: (1) following an Eskom default a corporate restructuring could lead to substantial pay cuts or redundancies, which would impact a large number of the borrowers; (2) mortgage payments are directly deducted from the employees' salaries, which currently supports the positive performance and this may not continue; (3) Eskom provides an interest subsidy to borrowers which may no longer be available making the loans less affordable to borrowers; and (4) the default of an employer can in certain scenarios give rise to set off claims from the employee/borrower. However, Fitch believes that there are sufficient mitigants in place to address these concerns: (1) the nature of Eskom's business as monopolist utility provider does, in the agency's view, make mass redundancies or a company liquidation less likely; (2) Nqaba benefits from structural protection through credit enhancement and liquidity that allows the notes to withstand a substantial number of defaults - maintaining the original recovery assumptions Fitch has calculated that the class A tranches will be able to withstand default rates of up to 36%.; and (3) In Fitch's view the structural protection including the aforementioned credit enhancement supports a higher note rating when compared to Eskom's National long-term rating. Therefore the agency believes that the specific risks are reflected in the notes' current ratings. Any deterioration of Eskom's National scale rating will trigger a review of Nqaba's notes ratings and may result in a downgrade. In case of Eskom no longer maintaining a 'AAA(zaf)' rating, the transaction documentation provides for an early amortisation of the notes. Fitch has been informed by the issuer of the intention to seek noteholder approval to either waive or remove this early amortisation trigger. While it is unclear if this request will be successful, the outcome does not impact Fitch's ratings of the notes. The transaction is performing in line with expectations. 3m+ arrears levels have been falling since February 2011 and currently stand at 0.24%, which are the lowest 3m+ arrears of all Fitch rated South African RMBS transactions reflecting its unique structure. The number of loans in litigation has been stable at 0.6%. There is also sufficient credit enhancement in the transaction. Fitch believes the underlying performance is commensurate with the current rating levels. Additional information is available on www.fitchratings.com. The ratings above were solicited by, or on behalf of, the issuer, and therefore, Fitch has been compensated for the provision of the ratings.

Luke is interested in how firms compete with one another to sell their products to consumers. In particular, he is interested in the implications of such competition for market outcomes and whether policymakers can improve the competitive processes.
Luke's research relates to both competition and consumer policy, and it covers the areas of collusion (where firms recognise that fierce competition is not in their mutual long-term interest), mergers (that can enhance or undermine competition by changing the structure of markets), and consumer behaviour (which affects the incentives of competing firms to sell products of high quality at low prices).
He also has an interest in behavioural economics and, to a lesser extent, experimental economics.

Lydiate boost for Wales
Dan Lydiate is on course to win his fitness battle, handing Wales a major boost ahead of the World Cup quarter-finals.
Last Updated: 01/10/11 1:28pm
Dan Lydiate is on course to win his fitness battle and give Wales a boost ahead of next weekend's likely World Cup quarter-final against Ireland.
The Newport Gwent Dragons flanker limped off just 10 minutes into Wales' Pool D victory over Samoa 13 days ago.
There were initial fears the 23-year-old might play no further part in New Zealand having starred alongside Wales back-row colleagues Sam Warburton and Toby Faletau.
But Lydiate looks set to rejoin full squad training early next week after a gruelling regime that included him getting up every two hours through the night to ice his ankle and keep the swelling down.
"I had my head in my hands as I came off the pitch," Lydiate said. "My world had come crashing down.
"I was very worried, gutted when it happened. I had wanted to build on the performance from the week before against South Africa.
"As soon as I came off, we started icing the ankle. It was hard work getting up every two hours, but I didn't want to go home.
"Apparently, I nearly did get sent home, but I just tried to do everything I could so that wouldn't happen."
Lydiate also wore a protective plastic moon boot, adding: "It was more for protection, in case somebody stepped on my foot or I fell down the stairs.
"You don't want to give it (World Cup) up. You want to fight tooth and nail off the pitch, as well as on it, to be here for as long as you can."
Lydiate also made visits to the Wales squad sports psychologist Andy McCann, whose positive outlook helped him through some initial dark days.
"A lot of the boys see Andy," Lydiate said. "He's been really good for me about positive thinking and that sort of thing.
"Touch wood, I am going to be linking up with the squad on Monday. I have just started running, up and down the stairs.
"I am not the best watcher, so watching the boys playing against Namibia the other day was hard. But it's an awesome experience to be here - it has been class so far.
"It will be hard to get back in the team. Ryan Jones played really well last Monday, and all the back-row boys have played well.
Under the radar
"We have been under the radar at this World Cup. We are going really well, and the boys are in a good place. There are always things to work on, but they seem fresh and really hungry.
"There is still a real competitive edge in training. We've had it since pre-season because no one wants to give up their place and go home.
"We came off some good results pre-World Cup, and we were so gutted to lose against South Africa.
"It has been a tough group. As long as we get out of it, it's just one-off games then."

Senator Fuschillo Food Drive Collects Over 600 Pounds of Food to Help Veterans in Need
Over 600 pounds of food, household supplies, personal care items, and school supplies were collected through a food drive sponsored by Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) to help veterans in need.
Senator Fuschillo partnered with Long Island Cares: the Harry Chapin Food Bank to sponsor the program. All donated items will be used by Long Island Cares as part of their veterans outreach program, which provides support for veterans & active duty military personnel and their families.
Senator Fuschillo thanked local residents for their generosity in making the program a success. Residents dropped off food and other items at Senator Fuschillo's district office and at his booths at the Merrick and Bellmore Street Fairs.
"It's wonderful to see the outpouring of support residents showed to the heroes who serve our country. No one who put their lives on the line and made sacrifices for our country should have to worry about not being able to feed their families. I thank everyone who helped make this food drive a success, as well as Long Island Cares for offering these important services to the community," said Senator Fuschillo.
