KiwiRail had to replace the brakes on all of its China-made freight wagons last year after tests found they were substandard.
The 500 wagons, worth a total of $49 million, failed to stop within the required 650 metres when fully loaded during initial tests before they entered service, according to documents obtained by Radio New Zealand.
The company replaced the brake blocks with a slightly higher-friction version.
KiwiRail said that was the quickest and most cost-effective solution, with the costs borne by the manufacturer as they were under warranty.
Labour's Clare Curran says it's appalling that the brakes weren't up to scratch.
"To have 500 wagons brought into the country and every single one of them to have to have its brake pads replaced is fairly extraordinary, and indicates poor quality workmanship, and not being fit for purpose for New Zealand conditions," she told Radio New Zealand.
"You've got to ask yourself how this managed to happen and who's accountable."
Ms Curran was critical last year when KiwiRail axed 44 jobs at its Hillside Workshops in her Dunedin South electorate, and sent the wagon work to China, where it could be done cheaper.

Nothing inside Sawa suggests barbecue. The squeaky-clean, white tile walls and bamboo kitchen door at this take-out spot look more like something out of a Japanese restaurant. And gas-fired ovens don"t scream "low and slow." But owner Takashi Sawa, a Japanese-born meat maven, is serious about his barbecue. He"s developed his own top-secret seasoning blend--a recipe that combines more than 20 spices--and serves traditional dishes like St. Louis ribs, BBQ chicken and Brunswick stew. His most unusual item: a country-style pork rib dish in which the meat is cut diagonally across the grain.

Car Names That Make Great Baby Names
When it comes to our animated characters, Cars 2 has some of the cutest, most charismatic casts around … with lovable names to match! (Tow Mater kills us every time.) But when it comes to actual baby name inspiration, there's little chance you'll be calling your kid Lightning McQueen (at least until he's 4 and insists on it). So we're giving the green light to this list of awesome, auto-inspired baby names.
A name this beautiful is sure to turn heads, but watch out: In addition to being high-maintenance, she might just be a mean girl when it comes to BMWs!
Although the Ranger is small when it comes to trucks, your son will seem anything but when he enters a room. Expect him to dig fun and adventurous things, like hiking up mountains or splashing in the mud. And stock up on detergent!
The sleek and sporty car may first come to mind when folks meet your little cutie pie. And if she's anything like her namesake, you may have a track star on your hands!
It's hard to tell if Lexus' new slogan describes their latest fancy car or your darling daughter to-be: "Unrestrained. Unexpected. And unlike any hybrid you have ever known." Definitely your daughter. Good luck!
Forget that scumbag Bentley Williams on The Bachelorette: Season 7. It's time to bring the charm back to this worthy name. No doubt your Bentley, like the handcrafted ride, will be exquisitely suave and handsome enough to do it.
Bring back the far-out fun of the '70s by naming your Dancing Queen after the little sedan that's seen more than its fair share of ABBA, the Eagles, Stevie Wonder and the Bee Gees.
Honor our top-hat-wearing 16th president by choosing this name for your little Navigator. Just be sure to clear lots of space on the playroom shelves for what will surely be his most frequently received birthday gift–you guessed it–Lincoln Logs!
When your little Jetta arrives on the scene, people will wonder why they didn't pick Volkswagen's cheerful and energetic name for their bundle of pink. You'll be a Fahrvergnügen trendsetter!
Perhaps the cutest name for a line of vehicles, Kia also offers many choices for middle ones, too, such as Soul, Rio, Optima, Sedona and Sorento. Another plus? She'll probably be able to spell her name when she is 2!
Got a brilliant baby name idea for this list? Add it to the comments below!

Kia maybe but not a huge fan of these names – reminds me too much of cars rather than children

Luke Bilyk: Fan of LunchPosted on 02/16/2011 by Mary
If all that future civilizations unearthed about Luke Bilyk were this quickie interview with him backstage at a Degrassi photo shoot, at least they would know that Luke Bilyk is a dude who likes lunch, and likes to scare people.
Also, here, have a nice big picture of him. That one in your locker is getting kind of ratty around the edges.
Overheard on Friday's Degrassi...Posted on 02/15/2011 by Mary
"I'm too bored to argue." -- ???
Someone's gonna say it on a brand new ep of Degrassi: In Too Deep this Friday at 9... who do you think it'll be? Set the scene for us in the comments...
Sneak peek pics from Friday's Degrassi!Posted on 02/14/2011 by Mary
Sneak peek pics from the next episode of Degrassi are up! Click here for all of them...
And about this whole "Bianca's on the hunt, and Drew's on the menu" thing...
So far we know that the very idea of it makes iluveli235 want to puke... how's your stomach doing looking at the pic above?
Do you believe in love at first sight?Posted on 02/14/2011 by Lisa
Here's a romantic topic for debate, since it is Valentine's Day and all. Do you believe two people can fall in love right away -- from the very first moment they meet?
For example: Alli and Drew. They felt an instant attraction, but was it love, or were they just hot for each other?
What about Eli and Clare? Did Eli step out of his hearse and right into Clare's heart? They definitely felt *something* when he picked up her broken glasses and told her he had pretty eyes... but it's tough to say if it was love.
Do you think it's possible to love someone before you know anything about what they're like as a person?
Maybe humans have love instincts and we can sense whether someone is right for us. But even if we DO feel an instant connection -- does it mean anything? Or is love more meaningful if it develops over time?
Has anyone out there experienced love at first sight? If not, what's the closest you've been?

Happy Valentine's Day from Degrassi and TeenNick!Posted on 02/14/2011 by Mary
Happy Valentine's Day!
We've got one more Degrassi V-Day mini to share...
So looks like so far:
Fiona says love is transforming, like Dior.
Adam says love is intense.
Anya says love is not being able to focus in class.
And Dave says love is a game.
You can watch all four Degrassi Valentine's Day minis here. Which Degrassian do you think is the most right about love?
Happy Valentine's Day to you... we hope cupid gives you a high five today!
Anya's Degrassi Valentine's Day MiniPosted on 02/13/2011 by Mary
I'm sure we can all relate with being 1000% distracted at school when we're in crush mode.
Have anyone's name doodled in the margins of your notebooks? Make a Valentine's Day Eve Wish in the comments; no last names and hey, you can star out their first name if you're not ready to go public.
May all your Valentine's Day Eve Wishes come true!
Degrassi OMG: Anya's Cringetastic MomentPosted on 02/13/2011 by Mary
Dude. It's one thing having to tell your hot doctor boyfriend that you lied about being underage. It's another thing to have to do so with your MOM standing behind you with her arms folded.
Feel the cringe:
This too-awkward-for-words moment aside... we've always really liked Anya's mom. They have such a cute relationship... what do you guys think of her?
Degrassi OMG: Fiona and Adam, Truth or DarePosted on 02/12/2011 by Mary
Remember that time Adam was all "Truth or dare" and Fiona was all "Truth" and then Adam was all "Dare" and then we were all "Omgomgomgomg, DANG Adam! Show her whatcha workin' with!"
Show of hands... who here has kissed someone during an actual game of truth or dare?
Adam's Degrassi V-Day MiniPosted on 02/12/2011 by Mary
Aww, it's Adam before he knew that he and Fiona were going to end up with their faces mashed together on her couch! So hopeful... and so has no idea what he's in store for.
Did you see Degrassi: In Too Deep?Posted on 02/11/2011 by Mary
If you haven't watched the hour long premiere of Degrassi: In Too Deep.... one, what's wrong with you, and two, thank heavens you can watch the whole thing in HD on this site. What would you do without us?
Here's part 1 and here's part 2.
* FADAM! Orrr... not? What do you think of them as a couple? How angry do you think Fiona is about the whole intervention thing? How much better does he look in Declan's clothes than he did in the baggy stuff?
* Dr. Chris and Anya. Hrm. He's into LARPing! And Renaissance Faire! Match made in heaven. And also he's finished med school while she's not even out of high school. What do you think the prognosis is for their future? Does it creep you out that he's going to wait for her to be 18, or do you think it shows some dignity and respectability?
* Dave and Sadie. Aww, Dave! She's adorbs! We're so glad Dave finally met a girl and didn't completely permanently screw it up. What are your thoughts on taller girl/shorter guy couplings? (We here in TeenNick blog land are 100% pro, for what its worth.)
* "Everyone knows the rule is half your age plus seven." What are your personal limits for how much younger or older of a person you'd consider dating?
* "She'd kill me for giving this to you, but after all you've done..." Holly J!! You can't just go around handing out pages from people's journals to other people! Why were you even reading Fiona's journal in the first place?! Still... I'm glad Adam got to read that.

This is a simple game, that was originally made by Chris Pirih, and later put into the Microsoft entertainment pack. The game still has many fans, including me. But yet, I couldn't find a flash version of it anywhere... I contacted Chris Pirih, and asked him if it was legal for me to remake it. He said it was fine as long as I gave him credit for the graphics.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
One of my VSTi's failed and ate a keyboard part. Sad trombone. Actually sad keyboard.
If you like a part so much you'll rerecord it, it better be a freaking keeper.
Add another.
Also, can you tell I don't quite know how to use Tumblr yet? How do you quote people? Not a time to figure it out. 40 minutes left. Still a lot to write.
baffledinbrooklyn replied to your post: Using the Dad-Guitar
Well, that wasn't my original intent, but now that you mention it…
Bass time. Playing with a basic progression. Working on strum pattern and tone. I already need to resequence the song. Might work on scratching out the parts first, then do a rerecord in the last 45 minutes.
Interesting note with all of this. AS compressed as all this time is, this is how I usually write. I write a component, record it, then layer layer layer. Writing and recording as almost always inextricably linked for me.
Guess who didn't learn their lesson.
I'll just add more distortion. Close enough for punk rock, baby.
0-7-1 replied to your post: First, we math…
i was just now working on an 128 bpm track… :O
I'm looking over your shoulder, like in math class to see if you have the answers. :-)
Drums are next. At least to temp out a pace for myself. I'm going to mock up a basic 4/4 and loop it for 3 or 4 minutes. I'll likely come back to this in a bit and alter them or add to them. Anything to make them more interesting, if I use them at all.
In FAWM, I've been on an electronica / industrial kick. That's likely where I'll go today. I want to start off with figuring BPM. I'm going to be nerdy and take the songs I've written so far and average together their BPM. That'll dictate the pace here.
80 + 100 + 170 + 95 + 110 + 140 + 140 + 120 + 190 = 1145 / 9 = 127.22
I'm gonna call it 128 bpm.
Interesting. Here we go.
It's a holiday Monday, and I'm home from work. I've decided to give another run at live-blogging a songwriting session. Today's goal is a bit more sedate, as I want to try an instrumental track, probably a bit more low-key. Without having to write and record vocals, I'm hoping this will be less difficult and annoying.
I know that's the equivalent to a character in a horror movie saying 'What could possibly go wrong', but I'm gonna just leave that there.
I'm putting 90 minutes on the clock. Good luck, internet.

This tasted so fresh and couldn't have been easier to make.
LeslieLou Posted: 07/11/11
TisReese Posted: 06/18/13
This took over an hour, even using a food processor for what I could. Perhaps I'm just a slow cutter. Either way, my MIL couldn't stop raving about it. Someone else at the BBQ said it was the best healthiest thing they'd had in ages. I had never had nor made gazpacho before, and loved the textures and flavors. It also makes a great topping for other dishes or even a good salsa IF you have any leftover. It did make a large punch bowl full. Great for summer.

I work with and for developers who are used to developing server-side components. It drives me bananas when I mention something off-hand about iOS development and they look at me like I'm crazy. Or if I give out an estimate they think is ridiculous, I have to justify the time I will need to spend on such-and-such a feature.
Developing for iOS in a Server-Centric World (via Justin Miller)
I've written about this kind of thing a lot before, and I'd still love to write my own longer post with more background when I have more time, but for now I think it's worth pointing out that I'm hearing more and more about this frustration from other iOS developers. I think my friend Harry Heyman, Foursquare's VP of Engineering, said it well: "The disconnect between the expectations of web devs and the reality of mobile app development is the engineering challenge of our time."

Staples were required to close the wound. The man would not give police any of his girlfriend's personal information other than her first name, so no warrant was issued.

Brought back a stash of pine nuts with me in my luggage, dutifully declared at customs. Pine nuts in Lebanon are so good! They always bring back fond memories of entire summers spent in Ain Zhalta (Shoof area) treasure-hunting these delightful snoobar. We'd grab a pine cone that seemed promising and feverishly dislodge the little nuts and break them open with a small rock. Oh, simple and natural pleasures of a childhood spent in the Lebanese mountains.
I wanted to make the tarator sauce with pine nuts that we used to eat with a whole baked fish. It was so delicate tasting and so exquisite. I knew it would go very well with bland steamed vegetables. Simple in execution, it requires only the best pine nuts, some garlic, fresh lemon juice and water. If needed, a few fresh crumbs of white bread can be added to the mix to give it more body. The sauce will look like a liquid mayonnaise, but the taste is, oh so infinitely superior! (and has no cholesterol to boot!)
Pine nuts play such a prominent role in Lebanese cuisine. Used in pastries, in kibbes, tarator , pies like lahm bel-ajeen and as a stuffing ingredient for grape leaves, among others. What about nutritionally? Well, surprise, surprise!
- Protein-packed, at 30% ratio, they surpass all other nuts
- Appetite-suppressant, thanks to a special hormone cholecystokinin. I tested it and had an ounce of pine nuts one morning and I was able to last without a meal till the afternoon without major hunger pangs.
- Magnesium-rich (more than 120% RDA), iron-rich (3 mg per 1 ounce)
- Vitamin A & D rich, an antioxidant and rich in fiber
This sauce can be used on fish, steamed veggies, as a dip with celery, carrot and green pepper sticks.
INGREDIENTS: This quantity will yield about one cup or 4-6 servings
- 1 scant 1/2 cup of pine nuts (about 2 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon of mashed garlic (fresh) with a pinch of salt
- 1 lemon, juiced , or more to taste
- 1/2 cup of cold water
- 1 slice of American-style white bread, crusts removed or 2 ounces of fresh bread crumbs, or more
- Mash the garlic with a pinch of salt in a wooden pestle or simply peel the cloves and cut them in fine slices
- In a small processor place the garlic, salt, pine nuts and process for a few minutes until the nuts are chopped up fine
- Add the lemon juice and process some more
- Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, processing more
- Add the bread crumb or the slice of bread chopped in little pieces
- Keep processing until the sauce has the consistency of a liquid mayonnaise
- Taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve cold or at room temperature with white fish or any type of steamed or baked vegetable
- You can add more bread crumbs to achieve the consistency you are after. Two slices of white bread instead of only one.
- You can soak the pine nuts in water for a few hours before processing them.

We had another cracking fundraising get-together yesterday, with a bunch of enthusiastic new people lending their energy and ideas to the campaign. It's always exciting to meet new folk: there are dozens of people working on this campaign on all sorts of different levels. Minutes of that meeting are available on request, with important messages below: an opportunity to help out with our amazing Tentracks month of music fundraisers, a callout for people eager to volunteer at community events, and notices of coming meetings.
The Forest, 3 Bristo Place, Edinburgh
The Forest Cafe, Edinburgh's independent arts and community centre, has been told it must leave its current premises at 3 Bristo Place by 31 August, in a letter received this week from the Trustees of Edinburgh University Settlement (EUS). But the campaign to Save the Forest has vowed to continue its fight to stay at the current location in the old town.
A live interview on Leith FM's Talk Show with Harry from the Save the Forest campaign, chatting about what's happened so far and how you can get involved.
Amazing news of events in London, a thrilling splash of press coverage, and a special announcement about the total raised so far — and what you can do to help hit the target of £50,000 by June 1st.
Huge thanks are due to everyone involved in making the Thursday 3rd's Spring Fling a glorious party and a massive fundraising success — and to everyone who came and made it the fun celebration that it was. We raked in over £1100, which has put the campaign pot over the £17,000 mark — well on the way to our target of £50,000 by June 1st, though we're still going to have to work very hard.
Saturday 5th also saw a diverse and widely-attended public meeting as part of the whole campaign relaunch. Over 30 Forest people — enthusiasts and new faces — gathered to hear the latest updates, offer their skills, and come up with new ideas for the campaign. We're bubbling with energy and drive, and you can be part of that too. See below for the latest on how to get and stay involved, and in the mean time stay tuned for news of an exciting art auction in May, and spectacular plans for the Festivals, as well as a host of other Forest goodness.
Forest believes in people being empowered to do things autonomously. If you have a campaign idea you'd like to pursue, go for it! But if you want a hand making something happen, email firstname.lastname@example.com. We particularly would like to hear from people with media experience, or who are willing to help with being a street flyering team in the future.
We're also stronger when we're organised together, so we're having regular fortnightly Forest Campaign Team meetings. The next will be on Tuesday 15th March, 5-7pm, upstairs at Forest, and everyone who's involved in the campaign is welcome.

Ownership Structure Changes in the Insurance Industry: An Analysis of Demutualization
AbstractThis article focuses on the demutualization process and investigates why certain mutuals undergo this organizational structure change. The primary motivation for conversion is access to capital. By statute, mutual firms are limited in their capital-raising activities while stock firms can attract funds through a variety of stock and debt offerings. By examining the financial characteristics of firms that demutualize, changes in business practices in the years surrounding conversion can be observed. Determinants of the conversion decision are explored through logistic regression. In the years before demutualization, converting property-liability mutuals exhibit significantly lower surplus-to-asset ratios. This capital constraint eases after demutualization. Converting life-health mutuals hold a significantly lower proportion of liquid assets; in addition, they have a higher proportion of separate accounts under management. This liquidity constraint and increased focus on a higher managerial discretion activity drive the demutualization decision. For both property-liability and life-health converting mutuals, support for the access to capital hypothesis is found. Copyright The Journal of Risk and Insurance.

The Creamery is a gorgeous property, clean and spacious with a great open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area at the top of the house. The wood fire and well stocked wood shed were a great addition on the windier, rainier days. We were travelling as a party of friends and the house was a good space to catch up, watch films and cook in the very well equipped kitchen. Kathy and James were very friendly and offered a lot of guidance regarding the surrounding towns and countryside. Although there is enough sleeping space for a party of 10, I think that it would be a rather crowded house with that many people and that the property would be absolutely perfect for a party of 6-8 (because of seating space in the dining and lounge area upstairs). The location of the property is wonderful and very close to lots of beautiful National Trust areas - although a car would be essential for travelling to the nearest places. mehr

Road work 2012-04-10 163943 by thejjays on Flickr.
Via Flickr:Traffic jam for at least 1-1/2 miles just outside of Janesville, Iowa!!! Narrowing to a one-lane road followed by traffic lights is really slowing down traffic during rush hour. This could go on for a while!!!!! This phase of the highway work narrows the road to 1 lane. They are taking up the outside lane and will rebuild it to connect to the new road. Then the traffic will be directed there While they tear up the other northbound lane and connect that to the new highway. Then for a short distance everyone going north will use part of the new highway. At the lights they will be directed back to the old highway.
In the Midwest, 'Construction Season' is no joke - generally jammed between Spring and Summer. Some say we have so much road work because we get a hard frost with plenty of moisture - which is hard on roads. Personally, I like to think it's because we all spend so much time driving on 'em to get everywhere, they better be nice otherwise people will complain!
Kinda crazy that this is pretty much in my backyard..

Smooch @ Midnight
Beware of the kiss at Midnight when the New Year Arrives.
The Brainbuster question yesterday had to do with regretting that lip lock at the bewitching hour. How did this tradition begin?
The kiss shared at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve is derived from masked balls that have been common throughout history. As tradition has it, the masks symbolize evil spirits from the old year and the kiss is the purification into the New Year.
According to a survey by Match.com, 43% of singles expect to smooch at midnight. However, be careful what you wish for -- 15% say they still regret last year's kiss.

Reviewer: Penny Blankenship from Baltimore, Maryland
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I bought this for my husband (who is always cold). This isn't like a "normal" electric blanket that gets hot, but once you get under it... be prepared to be comfy warm. Washable, no uncomfortable wires, my husband LOVES this blanket (and so does one of my dogs who throws himself on it when its turned on) auto 10 hour turn off, this blanket is fantastic. Highly recommend it
Reviewer: from
Overall: Comfort: Style:
I am very happy with this blanket. I love climbing into a warm bed and my husband doesn't even have to turn his side on if he doesn't want to. It is cozy soft and very comfortable even when not turned on. Doesn't get too hot and heats very even. I love that it is low voltage and so safe. Gives me peace of mind. Thinking of buying more to have at the cabin.
Reviewer: sophie uliano from United States
Overall: Comfort: Style:
Love, LOVE my warming blanket. So soft and plush, and the great thing is that the heat is gentle and doesn't ever get too hot. A great winter investment!
Reviewer: Lance Pearson from
Overall: Comfort: Style:
New Experience, never tried an electric blanket before...to lighten the load of two quilts on my bed on my feet (twisted a knee ligament a while ago getting foot caught in heavy quilts getting up) I ordered a very good low voltage Serta king sized dual control plush electric blanket..the best. It came yesterday so I redid the bed to have a sheet on then the blanket and hooked the in line transformers that step it down to 18 volts dc to warm the blanket up to the wall power under the bed and put each controller on each night table at the head of the bed. Each controls one side of the king blanket. Turned them on to a high setting, Lo to 10 then Hi are the choices. Booklet says: set to high then tone down and adjust over several nights. It preheats the bed it says when you turn it on then goes to what you set it for the next ten hours. I set it for 6 and 30 minutes later went to bed. The blanket has a right side up way you have to use it as well which is clearly marked. It turned out to be a strange experience as you can touch the .micro wired blanket when working and you don't feet heat, wires or anything hot at all. I crawled in wondering about that and I was nice and warm, almost too warm so turned the controllers down to 4. By morning I had them on 3 and tonight will set them to 2. The blanket is a good thick plush blanket on it's own... I was not sure what was keeping me warm since I could not feel heat whether it was working early on so re read the instructions. They clearly say you will not feel heat touching the blanket but when you get in the many micro wires will produce a soft, gentle heat and keep you warm on the coldest nights. It is low voltage technology new in 2000 compared to past methods and Serta, made by Perfect Fit, uses it exclusively in their blanket lines. Same system in all, just different blanket types. Their costs to buy are 2.3 times the cheaper Sunbeam, et al, 120 volt blankets but you get absolutely even and very soft heat. I'm kind of amazed at the physics of it and will tonight keep it very low and to protect the blanket and its wires from any chance of dog claws will pull the one quilt up and sleep under the light heat of the blanket. A surprise to me how well it worked. I guess I expected something like turning a heater on and feeling the heat that emanates and it is absolutely nothing at all like that. What you feel is the effect and can't really feel the cause yet it is there.

If you like your hot coffee cold and your electric blankets turned off then this is the electric warming blanket for you. After years of purchasing electric blankets that barely made it through one Winter (they short out, heat unevenly, or die after washing). I thought surely, a blanket that costs so much will save me in the long one. Not so. When Serta titled its blanket "Warming" they were grossly inaccurate. My laptop is literally warmer on my legs than the Serta Warming blanket. Another drawback is the crinkly lining. It feels and sounds like newspapers. The chords are extra long but the heating dial is a cheap plastic as is the plug that fits into the bottom of the blanket. I will be returning despite Zappos uncharacteristic statement on the blanket page that it will only take back unopened unused blankets. Frankly, I am disappointed Zappos would carry such a shoddy product in tandem with the no returns warning. I have never purchased a non shoe item from the site and do not plan to again after this inconvenience and disappointment. An expensive electric blanket that does not work!

"Intelligent" Avatars Poised To Manage Airline Check-In
Re:Sigh. (102 comments)
That sums up my impression of the state of airports that have adopted the machines wholesale. The machines are just scattered around, and there is no clear "line" to either check your bags or speak to a human. You just need to trace the ropes to find a gap, and hope that the line you started is the place where the lone counter person is looking for the next person to serve. If it's especially busy, there may be two people at the counter, but anyone else on staff will be wandering around to help people with machines (basically just pushing the buttons for them) or actively discouraging people from waiting on line instead of starting with the machines.
But the machines aren't flawless. I've never been able to get through the check-in for an international flight with an entire family. I make it through the initial steps of identifying myself and the flight, but when it comes to scanning the passports it will randomly reject one of them. It's likely because one of the family has a foreign passport. If that's the issue, why can't they just tell those cases to go directly to the counter? Three attempts at this is 10 minutes wasted (including for the staff watching over my shoulder telling me to try it again) that I could have spent waiting in line.
The problem isn't with the software, it's with a lack of care for the customer experience. It's as if the airline management never use an airport to realize ways in which the system is inefficient, confusing, or unpleasant. That's what think is the real reason for designing an avatar kiosk: throw money at software developers to magically solve the problem instead of understanding or addressing the real issues.

A man starts walking up a narrow mountain path at 6:00 a.m. He walks at different speeds, stopping to eat, sometimes going back a few steps to look at a flower, but never leaving the path. He eventually arrives at the top at 10:00 p.m. the same day. He camps out over night and starts down the same path at 6:00 a.m. the next day. After stopping to eat and so forth he arrives at the bottom at 10:00 p.m.
True or False: There is some point on the path that the man occupied at exactly the same time on the two different days. Explain your answer.
Imagine that on the first day a clone of the man starts down the mountain at 6:00 a.m. and arrives at the bottom by 10:00 p.m. The man and the clone have to pass each other at some point.

After another great Tony Awards show in New York City, one can only hope that the Oscar committee will ask four-time Tony Award host Neil Patrick Harris to carry their big night in Los Angeles next year. The energetic, funny Harris kicked off an evening that presented awards in 26 categories to New York City's 40 eligible Broadway theaters. The 67th annual TONY Awards were broadcast live from Radio City Music Hall on June 9, 2013.
In a face-off between two leading contenders in the musical category, "Kinky Boots" had a better evening than "Matilda," walking away with six awards, including Best Musical and Best Original Score by Cyndi Lauper.
Billy Porter, the lead in "Kinky Boots," won for best actor in a musical. Tracy Letts was named best actor in a play for the now-closed "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", which also won for Best Revival of a Play and Best Direction of a Play (Pam McKinnon).
Other winners in the performance categories included Cicely Tyson in "The Trip to Bountiful," Judith Light in "The Assembled Parties," Courtney B. Vance in "Lucky Guy," Gabriel Ebert in "Matilda" and Patina Miller and Andrea Martin in "Pippin," which also won for Best Musical Revival and Best Direction of a Musical (Diane Paulus).
The acceptance speeches are all captured on the official Tony Awards site. What happens when an actor finds out he's even been nominated? Rob McClure, nominated for Best Actor in a Musical for "Chaplin," tells us in an NYC-ARTS exclusive interview.

Pink Mist
Owen Sheers
Pink Mist is a verse-drama about three young soldiers from Bristol who are deployed to Afghanistan. School friends still in their teens, Arthur, Hads and Taff each have their own reasons for enlisting. Within a short space of time they return to the women in their lives (a mother, a wife, a girlfriend), all of whom must now share the psychological and physical aftershocks of their service.
A work of great dramatic power, documentary integrity and emotional intensity, Pink Mist uses everyday yet heightened speech to excavate the human cost of modern warfare. Drawing upon interviews with soldiers and their families, as well as ancient texts such as the medieval Welsh poem Y Gododdin, it is the first extended lyric narrative to emerge from the devastating conflict in Afghanistan.
Shortlisted for the BBC Audio Drama Awards 2013, Pink Mist displays all of Owen Sheers's virtuoso gifts for language and poetic drama.
'... a phenomenal poem ... captures the reality of what soldiering is all about and of what it's like to adjust to "normality" when one comes home from war.' Capt. Ed Poytner, C Company 2 Rifles
A proportion of royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to the Community Self Build Agency, a charity which provides help to ex-servicemen struggling to adapt to civilian life, giving them the opportunity to build their own homes.

During the government shutdown, the 122 National Weather Service (NWS) forecast offices across the country are still operating, issuing potentially life-saving forecasts and warnings. "Neither snow nor rain" is part of the unofficial motto of the U.S. Postal Service. However, NWS employees in Rapid City, S.D. seem to have taken that motto to heart.
Like most other federal workers during the shutdown, the NWS meteorologists are not getting paid right now, and are hoping to receive back pay for work performed during this period. Not only are the meteorologists working for no pay, at least temporarily, but they've had to deal with some truly exceptional weather conditions this past weekend that have posed forecasting challenges and even put them in harm's way.
A record-breaking early season blizzard struck a number of states from the northern Rockies to the Northern High Plains on October 4-5, dumping as much as 4 feet of snow and piling the snow into drifts up to 10 feet high in places. Those conditions created hurdles for NWS staff that would be tough to surmount under any circumstances, least of all during a government shutdown when offices are short-staffed and support services, such as technical support from NWS headquarters, are stretched thin.
(MORE: Feet of Snow Will Melt -- What Happens to All That Water?)
Below is a message sent from the NWS forecast office in Rapid City to the NWS Central Region Headquarters in Kansas City, Mo. on Sunday morning at 9:09 Central Time. This was sent to Climate Central from an NWS meteorologist who was not authorized to share any information related to the government shutdown, and some of the details contained within the message were confirmed with a staff member from the Rapid City office on Monday morning. The employee said the message speaks to the "dedication" of the NWS staff during the shutdown.
(This message has been edited to decode some of the acronyms.)
"Access to the office is still blocked. Two employees were able to hike in around some obstructions, but it is not possible to drive out of the parking lot due to snow drifts and downed trees in the neighborhood. The SOO (one who hiked in) is attempting to take two stranded employees home this morning. One forecaster hiked in for his mid shift last night, and I sent him home so he can come back tonight. Of the three who are on duty at this time, two have been here since 7 a.m. Friday, and I have been here since 3 p.m. Friday. We have two NWR (NOAA Weather Radio) transmitters down: Terry Peak and Rapid City. We have three ASOSs (Automated Surface Observing Stations) down: IEN (Pine Ridge, S.D.), RAP (Rapid City, S.D.), and PHP (Philip, S.D.)."
"We are on commercial power which has been stable since yesterday evening. Rapid City is pretty much paralyzed, and recovery and repair operations are in full swing. We have heard that the governor called in the national guard. Conference call briefing expected to take place later this morning. There is some concern about the potential for flooding with temperatures warming up quickly tomorrow and melting off the large snowpack. we have 1 to 4 inches of liquid equivalent on the ground and a big rain storm in the models for Friday. 8:09 a.m. MDT"
(MORE: NWS Meteorologists Deliver Shocking Message in Forecast)
Winds during the blizzard gusted to near hurricane force (74 mph), topping out at 71 mph in Ellsworth, South Dakota, and 68 mph in Rapid City.
The Associated Press reported that roads were impassable in Rapid City due to stuck vehicles, massive snow drifts, and downed trees and power lines. Blizzard conditions, with at least three hours straight of visibility down to 1/8th of a mile, occurred in Rapid City during the storm.
A whopping 48 inches of snow fell in Deadwood, S.D. For perspective, Deadwood receives 6.6 inches of snow in an average October according to data from the Western Regional Climate Center.
Further southeast, Rapid City picked up 23.1 inches of snow, making it the second heaviest snowstorm on record there, and the top October snowstorm on record. It was also the city's third-heaviest one-day snowfall total. Rapid City was under the gun back in April, when 22.4 inches of snow fell on April 8-10, 2013 according to weather.com. Heavy snow also fell in Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming.
A request for comment has been sent to NOAA Public Affairs in Washington, although many employees there have been furloughed during the shutdown.
While the weather service forecast offices are open, employees are not allowed to engage in their typical full range of activities, and only emergency maintenance is allowed during the shutdown, which has no end in sight. Much of NOAA's research activities have also stopped or been slowed.

Mr. LUA Goes to Washington
Mr. LUA Goes to Washington
WASHINGTON, DCThe gospel according to LUA (least-privileged user account) took center stage at Microsoft Corp.s Security Summit East here with a pair of Redmond consultants pitching the idea of a well-funded security deployment repository to help developers create applications for non-admin users.
The LUA principle, which promotes the use of accounts with fewer access rights than Administrator accounts, has been largely ignored by end users, but if Aaron Margosis and Shelly Bird have their way, code writers will have a central place to get tools and training to create least-privilege applications.
Margosis and Bird work as security consultants with Microsoft Consulting Services Public Sector, evangelizing the value of LUA to government, military and state agencies and during a "Lessons Learned from the Field" presentation here, the duo lamented the low rate of LUA adoption.
Despite the fact that LUA is accepted within software security circles as a key to reducing damage from malicious hacker attacks, Margosis said a large percentage of customers still run Windows with full admin rights, making them sitting ducks for malware attacks that rely on "maximum privileges."
Users overlook XPs non-admin security. Click here to read more.
"The malware writers know and assume youre running as admin and take advantage of it. The best way to avoid those types of malicious attacks is to run as LUA. Its that simple," Margosis said.
However, because existing applications cause compatibility problems when run by lower-rights users, Margosis said enterprises are struggling to balance the need for security against business productivity.
"A lot of business applications have these LUA bugs. They dont work correctly unless theyre run with full admin privileges. That means that the typical user is an admin instead of a least privilege user and that means that malware attackers will always have an easy target," he explained.
Thats the thinking behind the proposal for a security deployment repository to provide a central place to offer tools and training for developers.
"Were pitching this idea [of a repository] because we cant move forward without something like this," Bird declared.
"We need to improve the tools for finding LUA bugs and have a central place to find the fixes. We need to start training people to ease this suffering of figuring out why an application might not be working for a [non-admin] user."
"We need something centralized, where fixes are properly vetted in a structured environment," she added.
She said informal discussions had begun at Redmond on funding for the repository but stressed that it was an early-stage proposal that would depend on buy-in from agencies like the Department of Defense.
Bird said a huge part of the effort should deal with the re-education of developers to get them to think about LUA as the default scenario.
She noted that another unnamed consultant was already actively working on developer education and suggested the repository could sync operations to avoid duplication.

LUA to Go in
Vista OS">
"We need to heighten awareness around secure coding," Bird said, noting that this would involve improved LUA tools and the publication and distribution of software standards.
Microsoft plans to embed the LUA principle into the coming Windows Vista operating system but Margosis urged developers to shift the mindset today to avoid using bad coding practices in the future.
"Youll be in a position where you will still be hauling a lot of bad practice. You want to go and start cleaning up now," he declared.
Click here to read about Microsofts plans for IE7 scurity lockdowns.
Margosis and a group of senior Microsoft developers have started the ball rolling with the release of LUA-related information and tools on a non-admin Wiki aimed at Windows users.
On the Wiki, the Redmond security gurus are sharing tips on how to set up non-admin accounts and offering easy-to-use utilities that can handle things like dropping user rights or elevating privileges to handle specific tasks.
Margosis also announced plans to release another tooltentatively named LUA Buglightto remediate the challenges of finding code bugs that impact compatibility with non-admin users.
Convinced that there are no valid technical or business reasons why applications should require admin privileges, Margosis plans to release LUA Buglight into a pool that also includes Regmon and Filemon, two freeware utilities from Sysinternals.com.
With LUA Buglight, he said developers can generate new tokens and make calls to the Windows API to get reports on potential LUA bugs.
A pre-alpha version of the tool, which is being funded by Microsoft, is currently being tested and Margosis expects to have it available early next year.
He argued that the cost of ownership benefits from a well-managed LUA environment were significant.
"Its 40 percent cheaper to run a well-managed desktop. When everyone is running as admin, you simply cant have a well-managed desktop," Margosis added.

Gun Control Facts: Why Gun Control Always FailsFebruary 9, 2012
Free men must be able to defend themselves from robbers, killers, and tyrants. And that's why gun control is both unconstitutional and evil. The Second Amendment to the US constitution explicitly states:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Over the following week, I'll be going over the topic of gun control, the Second Amendment, and why gun control in all its forms is immoral, unconstitutional, and deadly.
Essentially all historical evidence points toward a gun control being unconstitutional. Essentially all national case studies show that banning guns increases crime. And a basic understanding of natural law should show us why the right to keep and bear arms is the most fundamental implication of life, liberty, and property.
To learn the basic facts about gun control, read the following articles:
- The Original Intent of the Second Amendment
- Why Gun Control Causes Crime
- How Gun Control Violates Natural Rights
- How the UN is Trying to Ban Guns
The Second Amendment doesn't exist so the people can kill deer. That's just a nice side benefit. The 2nd Amendment exists so the people can kill politicians and their cronies. And that's why statists fear the 2nd Amendment. It's their kryptonite, and they know it.
It's the last beacon of hope for a people faced with the inevitable threat of tyranny. It helps thwart off crime, invasion, and unpopular policies. Those who support it scoff at those of us who believe it's vital — even though they scoff at essentially centuries of historical event after event of unarmed people becoming chattel slaves.
If this isn't a new topic to you, and you already understand our position and agree with it, please spread this page by clicking the "share" button to the top or bottom of the page, and by clicking the "+1" button to the right of the title of this article. Doing that greatly helps us get more traffic and make a difference defending your right to keep and bear arms.
