Have you spotted that David Cameron has succumbed to a nasty bout of summit-itis? Newspapers and Radio 4 have certainly cottoned on. He's had three this week already and it's still only Friday: Somalia yesterday, racism and homophobia in football on Wednesday and the ill-starred health bill summit at No 10 on Tuesday, the one where Andrew Lansley was cornered on camera by an irate customer. Does it all do much good?
Cameras, that's the problem. To a greater extent than ever, public figures live and die by what the camera records them doing in a perambulatory sense, though it's not a new phenomenon. Roman triumph, medieval royal progresses (at great cost to wealthy subjects who had to provide B&B), William Gladstone chopping down trees (though not rescuing fallen women), paintings, photos and reports all amplified the often erroneous impression that the great man or woman was DOING something.
Summits are an extension of that impulse, traceable to ecumenical church councils since the early Christian era – think the first council of Nicaea, called by Constantine in 325 to sort out the finer theological points of the trinity – and sustained through more worldly concerns about territorial spoils in treaty-making ever since.
At Westphalia (1648), Vienna (1814-15), Versailles (1919), the great and good were doing something. Or rather, seen to be doing something, not always wisely (as Keynes pointed out at the time, the savage "Carthaginian peace" Versailles imposed on Germany merely guaranteed another war).
Ditto Nato, the G8, G20, EU (gosh, they meet all the time now), climate change, world trade organisation (etc etc), all doing good and bad. It's a patchy record.
That's where instant summits – just add instant hot air – serve a purpose, even if they achieve very little of practical use because there hasn't been enough time to do the prep work, the months of painstaking negotiations done at international levels by "sherpas" – as in "summit" (geddit?). The idea of "a parlay at the summit" was popularised in the 1950s by the ageing Winston Churchill, desperate to broker a summit between Stalin and Truman as his last great contribution to world peace, though by this time he was getting to be a menace to it.
The Somali summit in Lancaster House seems to fit the definition of a properly prepared summit – Hillary Clinton and the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, also attended – though whether its conclusions will change much I am not qualified to say. (Old Somali hands have told me that British de-colonisers botched independence when they combined British and – very different – formerly Italian-held Somali protectorates into one state in 1960.)
But let's give that meeting the benefit of the doubt, as we do some – certainly not all – of our international summits, usually multilateral, often worthy but dull. It's better that we meet than that we don't, prime minister Jim Callaghan once reminded an impatient opposition leader after a not very good G7 summit in Tokyo. Her name was Margaret Thatcher and she later became rather a forceful, if disruptive, summiteer.
It's not that most industry chiefs like to be summoned to Downing Street: the novelty wears off quickly enough, and they know they may well be merely backdrops to an ill-prepared speech by the prime minister of the day which is designed to earn him/her a one-minute package on the TV news. Sometimes the top people are needed to finetune the details of an agreement which has already been hammered out in private. Often not much is achieved except to irritate all concerned.
The health summit seems to have been a classic of its kind. Google it and you find pretty negative coverage – as in the Guardian's own live blog here – both about the substance of exchanges inside No 10 and the process whereby the Lansley bill's more vocal NHS critics were excluded.
Then there was Lansley's own spat with protesters in Whitehall, the health secretary's melancholy Via Dolorosa, his back lashed by 75-year-old activist June Hautot. They were just the kind of pictures Cameron's staff should have been organised enough to avoid. As in: "Come in via the Cabinet Office side entrance, please, Andrew."
Most prime ministers share the very human belief that if they can get warring parties or obstinately selfish sectional interests – think the 1998 Good Friday agreement – in a room to feel his/her laser-like authority and eloquence, then something worthwhile can emerge. Occasionally it does, albeit with lots of hard work (Belfast '98 again), but generally not.
Better surely, as Gordon Brown liked to do, to announce that a meeting of Cobra would be taking place to address the emergency of the moment, all very hush hush, but it sounded good. Cobra is actually the Cabinet Office briefing room A, where the civil contingencies committee meets.
In reality that's how most useful government – and corporate – business is done. No cameras, no hyped expectation. Sometimes a theatrical touch is appropriate, but it's a formula that quickly wears thin, leaving the impression that there's more spin than substance. And we wouldn't want people to think that, would we, Dave? Three summits in a week is at least two too many.

|Ship Quality
|It's GREEN...Think Emerald City here. Everything when you first walk in is in a shade of green, overwhelmingly so. The atrium though comfortable, seemed rather odd when looking up as you could see service ladders and such.
|Service and Staff
|The Dining staff was terrible, two nights in a row I had nothing to chill my wine in, and my water glas was regularly empty without any refill until 2 courses later. Little conversation from our assistant server, and when ordering room service they had no idea what the food was like.
|Food and Dining
|Our restaurant was in an ackward position on the ship, you had to go up to the prominade deck to the rear of the ship and then back down two floors in order to enter the dining room. The position of the Pacific Dining room makes the vibration of the props very noticable especially on sea days when cruising at top speeds. The food was not what I had expected in comparison to previous experiences and what my friends had told me to expect. I'd agree in saying it's average restaurant quality, just with flare in the presentation.
|Cabin / Stateroom
|The rooms were of nice size, Disney of course has the lot on the business for size so I wasn't surprised when the balcony room was smaller than the balconies there. The housekeeping staff did a wonderful job having to deal with 4 young adults between 18-21.
|There were activities to do on the ship yes, but the idea that there are a million things to be doing at any giving point? Not quite. Unless you count a million rays of sun to be catching on deck. I found myself with little else to do but go into the casino out of bordom.


text: Sooooo I have no idea why this file will not delete. I had a simple .wav file called welcome.wav It was placed on the desktop When making a copy of it, (the copy was on the desktop, too) I accidentally named it "welcome.wav." If you can't see, this copied file had a period at the end of it. Windows took the file name. What was strange is when I tried to delete the "welcome.wav." it just deleted the original .wav, while this bizzaro file remained. WHen I tried to delete it again, it told me that "Welcome.wav" does not exist on the drive, and to try again. I have tried every kind of forceful deletion program and cannot get rid of it. Does anyone know what I can do? It would not be too much of a problem if it was not ON MY DESKTOP

Starting promptly at 9am at Oregon Ridge Park (Nature Center). The Nature Center entrance is on Beaver Dam Rd., only about 50 feet south of Shawan Rd., just behind the Oregon Grille restaurant parking lot. It's called Kurtz Lane on many maps. Follow this road for roughly 1/2 mile to get to the parking lot.
We meet in the parking lot between the lake and the Nature Center. Look for the "carved" wooden bench. You can't miss us.
We will walk approximately a mile and a half, at a comfortable pace for beginners. We will alternate the many different trails that are there. All trails do require climbing the central hill in the park.
Go here for an excellent map of the park with the Nature Center entrance clearly marked.
Some may want to stay for a while later and take advantage of the free exhibits at the Nature Center. Others may want to stay for a swim at the lake, in season (one of Baltimore County's best kept secrets), which does carry a daily charge.
I will not post cancellations because of the weather. I assume we're all capable of making that decision as each of us sees fit.
If you decide to respond "Yes" to this event and later change your mind for whatever reason, please,please go in and change your RSVP to a "No". That way, we know not to be waiting for you. Thanks.

wikiHow to Disable Game Center
Two Parts:Logging OutDisabling NotificationsCommunity Q&A
While you can't completely remove the Game Center app on your iOS device, you can keep it from functioning so that you aren't bothered by notifications for it. You'll need to sign out of Game Center so that it's no longer using your Apple ID. You can then turn notifications for it completely off.
Part 1
Logging Out
1Open the Settings app on your device. You can find this on one of your Home screens. It may be in a folder labeled "Utilities."
2Scroll down and tap "Game Center." This will open the Game Center settings menu.
3Tap your Apple ID. You'll likely see the same Apple ID you use for the rest of your iOS device.
4Tap "Sign Out." This will sign you out of Game Center, but will not sign you out of other Apple ID services like iTunes or the App Store.[1]
- Signing out of Game Center will allow you to disable it when you cancel on the Sign In screen four times.
Part 2
Disabling Notifications
1Open the "Notifications" menu in the Settings app. Return to the main Settings menu and select the "Notifications" menu. You'll find this towards the top of the list of options in the Settings app.
2Select "Game Center" (iOS 9) or "Games" (iOS 10) from the list of apps. This will show Game Center's notification settings.
3Toggle "Allow Notifications" off. This will turn off all notifications for the Game Center app.[2]
4Cancel any Game Center windows that appear four times. Even after doing all of this, Game Center may still appear when certain games are loaded. This is because the games are designed to work with Game Center, and will always try to open it. Cancelling the window that appears four times in a row will completely disable those notifications.[3]

How to Buy a Used RV from a Dealer
by spencer • March 26, 2012 • Rv Dealers • 0 Comments
How to Buy a New or Used RV or Motorhome and Beat the Dealer at Their Game
As a former RV salesman, I am quite familiar with how the game is played. Let's start by mentioning three things that people do WRONG to try to get a better deal when buying a motorhome or RV. These things don't work!
1) Buyers pretend not to be interested in a coach they really want. They don't want to appear vulnerable. They think that by displaying emotion, they will be taken advantage of. Truth: They will probably know that you want it anyway, and they will realize that you are insecure about making the decision and ultimately these will give you less control over the final out come.
2) Buyers focus exclusively on problems, I call this negative buying. These buyers can talk themselves out of anything. Ultimately they waste a lot of time and they may lose a few good deals because they only focus on what they don't like, rather than what they do like. After buying an RV or motorhome, they may continue to be pessimistic towards it.
3) Saying they are 'cash buyers' and asking for a discount. In reality the dealer could care less if you pay cash or finance the motorhome. The dealer gets cash for the motorhome no matter how the RV is purchased. Dealers that provide in-house financing may look at cash as a negative because dealers make less in interest off of cash buyers as a generality, cash buyers tend to be more frugal in purchasing extended warranties etc.
What is the right way to buy a motorhome or RV and get the best price from the dealership?
The absolute BEST way to buy a motorhome is first decide on what you want and on how much you are willing to pay for it, budget for it, and start saving so you can either pay cash for it, or at least have a large down payment to put down.
When you are ready to buy, go into a dealership and say, "I am ready to buy a motorhome, I am buying one this weekend and this is what I am going to buy". This will get you a lot of positive attention both from the individual sales person and the dealership/owner. After you have looked at the motorhome and you are satisfied with it, tell the salesperson you are ready to buy and will buy it if they can meet your price and terms. Then you make an offer. On a new motorhome, most offers that come within 25-35% of suggested retail will be presented to the sales manager.
It is important to remember that if their competitor has the same model in stock, this will give you considerably more buying power. If one competitor carries Itasca and one carries Winnabego, they are essentially the exact same thing, and they can be played against one another.
If the dealer doesn't agree to your terms, it is important to remind them again that you are serious about buying a motorhome this weekend and if you can't buy it there, you will just have to buy it from a competitor. In most cases, the dealer would be more willing to sell a motorhome at cost, than to see a competitor make money off of you.

Re: DX Nikon with great..best;)) IQ?
In reply to oliveoil • Jun 15, 2013
I'm researching the Nikon as I'd like to do some wildlife photography work..
D7100 because of the combination of high ISO sensitivity, ability to crop from 24MP, and better focus module.
If you have extremely challenging AF requirements, or very harsh environmental conditions, then D300s might make sense, but I doubt it otherwise.
If wildlife is not your priority this might not apply.

Olive View-UCLA Medical Center, Sylmar, CA
SESSION TYPE: Miscellaneous Student/Resident Cases I
PRESENTED ON: Tuesday, October 23, 2012 at 11:15 AM - 12:30 PM
INTRODUCTION: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an inherited disorder that results in formation of benign hemartomas in multiple organs. We report a rare case highlighting the unique array of multiorgan involvement in TSC and the dilemma associated with management massive renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs).
CASE PRESENTATION: A 28 year-old female with a history of seizure disorder and developmental delay presented with a two-week history of abdominal fullness, and two days of acute dyspnea and chest pain. Initial vital signs were normal. Examination was notable for decreased breath sounds at the left apex, a palpable mass in the left abdomen, and numerous ophthalmic and dermatologic findings consistent with TSC. Laboratory findings were within normal limits. Chest x-ray showed a moderate-sized left pneumothorax. CT chest, abdomen and pelvis was notable for diffuse cystic lung disease, a left-sided pneumothorax, and massive bilateral renal AMLs--the largest measuring 16 cm x 16 cm x 12 cm (Figures 1,2). Further imaging, including brain CT/MRI and echocardiography, revealed numerous manifestations characteristic of TSC. A chest tube thoracostomy was performed with resolution of the pneumothorax. The patient continued to experience significant abdominal pain. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach was pursued--with input from numerous services--and the patient was placed on sirolimus for 12-months prior to consideration for embolization and debulking surgery.
DISCUSSION: Angiomylolipomas are slow growing tumors often associated with TSC. While benign, these tumors can become symptomatic when they achieve extremely large sizes. Tumor size is correlated with increased risk of aneurysm and rupture. In addition, tumors can undergo malignant transformation and is associated with renal cell carcinoma. There are several indications for treatment, including suspicion of malignancy, alleviation of refractory pain and hemorrhage. The goal of therapy is to spare the kidneys. Transcatheter embolization has been shown to reduce tumor size by >50 percent, with preserved renal function. The use of sirolimus, an immunosuppressant that targets mTOR, has also been shown to be effective in reducing tumor size by half. In our patient, given the extreme size of her AMLs, the treatment decision was based on using a multi-modal approach with sirolimus followed by embolization and/or surgical resection.
CONCLUSIONS: The management of massive renal AMLs associated with TSC is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. This includes numerous treatment modalities aimed at achieving reduction in tumor size and ultimately decreasing the risk of untoward complications.

Following his comeback bronze medal run in the 200 metres, the European sprint champion told how he had been so depressed by the turmoil in his athletics and his private life that he had thought of driving his car into a brick wall.
He said the break-up of his relationship with girlfriend Clair, who had taken their threeyearold son Aaryn with her, made him feel he no longer wanted to live. But, as he hugged the pair in what looked an emotional reconciliation after last night's success at the City of Manchester Stadium, Olympic silver medallist Campbell said his life had been transformed by the Games. "It's a whole new hope for life," he said.
Mancunian Campbell, 28, whose chances had been written off less than six weeks ago after 18 months of injury woes and personal trauma had left him looking a shadow of the man who had become one of Britain's greatest sprinters, thrilled the 38,000 full house to snatch bronze.
He broke down after learning that he had won a photo-finish with Dominic Demeritte, of the Bahamas, as English teammate-Marlon Devonish took silver-and Namibian legend, Frankie Fredericks, took gold.
Indeed, he admitted today that the whole race was so emotionally draining that he was now considering whether to pull out of the defence of his European Championship 100-metres title in Munich next week.
Talking of the torment, Campbell said: "Around the New Year, I just didn't want to live, let alone run. I just thought about ending it all, getting into my car and driving into a brick wall. For me to seriously ponder something like that gives you an idea of how much I'd got things out of perspective both on the track and at home." Injury problems, he said, had helped bring him to despair. "When you have a dream and a vision, there's only so many battles you can keep fighting through. I give everything, I love what I do and when that's taken away, it's like everything has been taken away.
"My girlfriend left because I was emotionally down and because maybe I wasn't the best father in the world nor the best person I could be. A strain was put on my relationships because athletics came first, and being able only to spend a couple of hours with my son in Cardiff on Christmas Day brought it home."
His thoughts of suicide, though, were put into perspective by a meeting with an old friend from Manchester who had been the victim of four shootings. "He gave me a reality check, saying 'Do you think you're the only person who's ever thought of committing suicide?' and it forced me to appreciate what I have. I had a good life, an Olympic medal, a beautiful son, a nice car and nice house.
"Only in the last four weeks have I realised athletics doesn't have to take over my life. Now I can see light at the end of the tunnel. We're in the middle of getting back together as a family and it was important that they [Clair and Aaryn] were here to share the moment with me and that the world could see us as a unit.
"Athletics is now something different for me. It isn't life and death. It's now time to dedicate some of the time I spent on the sport to my family. I have been down in the drain and, believe me, I'm not going there again.
As Campbell prepared for today's heats of the 4x100metre relay, he added: "I'm emotionally spent and I'm not sure if I can get myself up to defend my European 100metre crown."
His uncertainty and the doubts surrounding the fitness of Mark Lewis-Francis and Dwain Chambers following their own 100metre trauma in Manchester leave the possibility that Britain's top three sprinters could all miss Munich.

Johannesburg: New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming reflected on Sunday on what he described as the best innings of his life, while South Africa's Shaun Pollock faced up to the possibility that his team might be eliminated from the World Cup in the first round. It's out of our control," admitted Pollock after New Zealand pulled off a nine- wicket win at the Wanderers. "We've got it all to do and we've got to hope results go our way."
South Africa has to win its remaining three matches, against minnows Bangladesh and Canada and then Sri Lanka in what could be a crucial match in Durban on March 3. But if Sri Lanka beats the West Indies in Cape Town on February 28, the hosts could be eliminated anyway. "It's not an ideal situation," said Pollock, who admitted his side was outplayed by New Zealand despite having scored a seemingly insurmountable 306 for six. New Zealand reached a rain-reduced target of 226 in 39 overs with nine wickets and 13 balls to spare, with Fleming making a career-best unbeaten 134 off 132 balls.
Pollock criticised his bowlers for "bowling on both sides of the wicket" and acknowledged that the pressure of being the host nation might have got to some of his players, "although I'd be disappointed if that was the case", confessed the skipper. Fleming said his innings was the best of his career. "A lot was on the line. It was a must-win situation and as captain I felt I had to make my mark as a player. It's the World Cup and I haven't had great performances in the World Cup in the past.
This was my day." Acknowledged as one of the most cerebral international captains, Fleming admitted to concern that he had not always performed well enough as a player. "It's an honour to lead your country but to win a game as a player is a bigger thrill. It gets respect and you feel better about yourself as well. You make better decisions when you're feeling confident."
He said a let-off when South African wicket-keeper Mark Boucher dropped him on 53 off Jacques Kallis was "a big moment in the game." "It came at a time when things were getting a bit loose. That often happens when you're chasing a big score and then two or three wickets can fall and the game is over. It was a good reminder to me that I had to bat through."

Of 1,000 UK businesses that participated in the Information Security Breaches 2002 survey, 42% of those with e-mail had suffered computer virus attacks as a result of e-mail attachments. This represents a massive increase from the 16% of attacks in the 2000 survey.
The survey blamed the increase on the emergence of sophisticated viruses that combine worm, virus and Trojan horse techniques with hacking. The report stated that the 2001 Code Red and Sircam viruses were as significant as the Love Letter virus in 2000 and Melissa in 1999, in that they evolved worm attacks to a new level. It also found that while the majority of businesses used anti-virus software, fewer had good firewalls and intrusion detection systems.
The report warns users that it is no longer good enough to just use anti-virus protection and recognises the importance of frequent "patch" updates.

Bill Huber: Let's start with the big picture first before getting into more detail. The vibe around the league – not by insiders but fans and hacks like me, who just don't have time to study the rest of the league – is that the Bears are the luckiest team in the league. A couple bad calls against Detroit. A few third-string quarterbacks. So, are the Bears a legit contender?
John Crist: I don't know if it's fair to say the Bears are the luckiest team in the league and that's the lone reason why they're 11-4, but, yes, coach Lovie Smith and Co. have enjoyed their fair share of breaks in 2010 – mostly with regard to injuries. It's incredible how many times the Bears have practiced in November and December with their entire 53-man roster available and at full strength, plus the only players on injured reserve are backup linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer and rookie running back Harvey Unga. As for other team's injuries, Chicago managed to beat the Panthers without Steve Smith; the Dolphins without Chad Henne and Chad Pennington; the Eagles without Asante Samuel and Ellis Hobbs; the Lions without Matthew Stafford and Shaun Hill; and the Vikings without Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson.
Regardless, I do believe the Bears can handle any team in the league provided they're playing at their best, meaning no turnovers on offense, getting a few takeaways on defense and continuing to dominate on special teams.
BH: The statistics show Jay Cutler has taken quite a beating this year, but how much of that is old news? Judging by the offense's overall productivity down the stretch, my hunch is pass protection isn't a major issue anymore.
JC: The offense seems to be peaking at the right time of year, but Cutler is still being subjected to too much pressure more often than not and has been sacked more than any quarterback in the league. The difference is coordinator Mike Martz going against his damn-the-torpedoes instincts and keeping the run-pass balance around the 50-50 mark since the bye in Week 8, which has made it easier on the pass protection and also forced opponents to play more honestly. The offensive line simply lacks marquee names, as it's largely made up of free agents and late-round draft picks – Olin Kreutz, a six-time Pro Bowler, is more of a locker-room leader than an on-the-field difference maker at center these days.
Say what you will about Cutler, and the "experts" at the four-letter network have done so time and time again, but you can't deny the fact that he's a tough S.O.B. and keeps getting up no matter how often he hits the deck.
BH: The Packers and Bears have changed so much since that Week-3 game, I'm not sure how much of what happened that night is relevant. It might take you an hour to talk about how the Bears have changed, but give us a Cliffs Notes version.
JC: As I alluded to above, the biggest change for the Bears on the offensive side of the ball is a commitment to what is an average ground game, a better understanding of Martz's scheme as a whole and Cutler pushing his passer rating up to what would be a career-high 90.6 if 2010 ended today. Defensively, Julius Peppers finally saw the stats start to slant his direction, as he was equally dominant in the first half of the season but didn't really have all the numbers to prove it. In the secondary, Tim Jennings has played relatively well since taking over for the disappointing Zack Bowman at corner, D.J. Moore has come out of nowhere to impress at nickel back and Chris Harris has shown to be a more complete player during his second tour of duty in Chicago.
All that aside, when Devin Hester finally broke out of his touchdown-return slump against the Packers in Week 3, he made Chicago arguably the best special-teams unit in the league again, as he is as confident as I've ever seen him and truly believes he's going to score every time he fields a kick or punt.
BH: You asked me about the Defensive Player of the Year race between Peppers and Clay Matthews. So I'll ask you the same question, and, in your humble opinion, is Peppers or Brian Urlacher the key "addition" to the defense?
JC: After dealing with back and neck issues from 2007-08 and then missing almost all of the 2009 campaign with that freak wrist injury he suffered in the opener at Lambeau Field, not many people – myself included – figured he'd ever play at a Pro Bowl level again, certainly not at 32 years old. We were wrong, as Urlacher is one of the league's leading tacklers, among the frontrunners for Comeback Player of the Year and, yes, a member of the NFC Pro Bowl roster for the seventh time. Because the Bears have gotten back to playing a more pure version of Smith's Cover 2 this season, Urlacher's ability to fly from sideline to sideline defending the run and then cover the deep middle of the field defending the pass is almost impossible to replicate.
Nevertheless, when Urlacher himself says time and time again that Peppers is far and away the Defensive Player of the Year in the NFL, I tend to believe him.
BH: This just seems so comical now: Remember all the gnashing of teeth about the Bears wasting Hester's talents as a return man by having him play wide receiver? Yeah, I guess Hester running post patters had everything to do with his struggles on returns. So, after a touchdown-return slump for a couple of years, why is Hester such a lethal weapon again?
JC: When you cover this team on a daily basis, as I have done going back to Hester's rookie season, you get to see for yourself just how different Hester's body language can be from year to year, week to week and sometimes even return to return. When he was setting the world on fire this first two years and scoring seemingly every time he dropped back deep, even though he is a remarkably humble young man off the field, on the field he had a confidence and a swagger filling the stadium with every step he took. But then came 2008-09, when his workload as a receiver was increased substantially, and all of a sudden he wasn't quite sure where to go or what to do as a return man, as he wasn't able to focus on it as much in practice anymore.
Once he got King Kong off his back in Week 3 at Soldier Field against these same Packers, the confidence came back, the swagger came back, and now he's reclaimed his reputation as the baddest man on the planet in the open field – at least on special teams, that is.
While making Hester a receiver didn't necessarily waste his talents as a return man, it did initially put too much on his plate and tucker him out more during games.

When the Australian actor Ray Barrett joined the cast of Britain's first hospital soap opera, Emergency – Ward 10, he soon became known as "the actor with holes in his face". The holes were pockmarks left by teenage acne, but they did nothing to stop Barrett's career from soaring. On joining the serial as the fictional Oxbridge General Hospital's new casualty officer, Dr Don Nolan (1960-61), Barrett made an immediate impact – with his character getting off to a bad start. First, he misdiagnosed a malingering old woman with abdominal problems, then he was undiplomatic enough to voice his opinions on the "antediluvian" institution that paid his salary.
But Barrett achieved his greatest fame in Britain as the globetrotting Peter Thornton, a go-getting Australian field agent for an oil conglomerate, in the 13-part drama series Mogul (1965), which was then retitled The Troubleshooters (1966-72) and ran for a further 123 episodes. The programme was sold by the BBC to more than 60 countries, including the United States and Australia.
At a time when North Sea oil drilling was just beginning, it was a topical drama. Filming of Thornton's exploits for Mogul Oil took Barrett around the world, from Africa and Venezuela to New Zealand and Antarctica. As well as shooting scenes on oil rigs, he was winched down from a helicopter into a jungle in Singapore and thrown into a tropical river in Ceylon when a canoe overturned – but the tough-guy actor had no fear of water, having enjoyed ocean-racing in his homeland and sailing on the Channel.
However, it was not just Barrett's craggy face that became familiar to television viewers. His was the voice that launched each episode of the futuristic, Gerry Anderson-produced puppet series Stingray (1964-65). As the wheelchair-bound Commander Shore, he dramatically announced: "Stand by for action! We are about to launch... Stingray! Anything can happen in the next half-hour."
Barrett also contributed other voices to the series, as he did for Anderson's most popular production, Thunderbirds (1965-66), and its film spin-off Thunderbirds are Go (1966), in which his main characters were John Tracy – the astronaut on the space station Thunderbird 5, monitoring calls for help – and the villain The Hood.
Appearing on the London stage as the obnoxious charmer Cooley in Don's Party (Royal Court Theatre, 1975) led to a watershed in his career. The Australian playwright David Williamson's story of an acrimonious gathering on the night of his country's 1969 general election, with many of the guests' hopes for a Labor Party victory slowly dashed and their behaviour becoming more boorish and reprehensible, was turned into a 1976 film. The director, Buce Beresford, invited Barrett to appear in it, but this time as the foul-mouthed intellectual and womaniser Mal. The stereotypical, beer-swilling, sexist image of Australians was not universally welcomed back in Barrett's home country, but it proved a critical and commercial success.
Barrett was then offered the role of the racist police officer in The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith (1978), based on Thomas Kenneally's novel about a rebellious, mixed-race Aborigine. His performance won him the Australian Film Institute's Best Supporting Actor Award and, recognising the resurgence of the country's film industry – acknowledged internationally with the success of pictures such as Picnic at Hanging Rock – he decided to stay.
Born in the Brisbane suburb of Wooloowin in 1927, of an English mother and an Australian father, a travelling hardware salesman, Barrett won a talent competition on the Brisbane radio station 4BH in 1939 and acted in the medium for several years. On leaving school in 1942 he was employed in the station's record library and, by the age of 16, was an announcer and breakfast-show presenter.
In 1954, he moved to Sydney to find more acting work with ABC radio. The experience proved invaluable for his later television voice work. "We had to go from serial to serial and, of course, play any part, any accent," he said.
The actor also joined the city's Phillip Street Theatre, appearing in plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest and Kind Hearts and Coronets. Switching to the Elizabethan Theatre in 1957, he took his first major dramatic role, as John Osborne's angry young man, Jimmy Porter, in Look Back in Anger. Back on radio, he played Tarzan and was heard alongside Spike Milligan in The Idiot Weekly (1958), an Australian version of the comedian's British television show.
Barrett made his small-screen début with a role in a 1957 episode of The Adventures of Long John Silver. Also a talented singer who had previously performed with dance bands in Brisbane, he was contracted to Philips and had several records released.
In 1958, he moved to Britain, later explaining: "I was getting to the age when I had to find out if I was any good or not, and to do that you have to come to a world market." The actor quickly found a screen role as a sub-lieutnant in the Second World War drama-documentary film For Valour (1958). Then, in 1959, he was among the cast in the television version of the radio comedy Educating Archie and appeared on stage in the revue One to Another, alongside Beryl Reid, Patrick Wymark and Sheila Hancock.
His first feature film role, uncredited, was in The Sundowners (1960), starring Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum, a drama about an Australian sheep-herding family. He appeared only in scenes filmed in a British studio after location shooting had been completed in his homeland.
He followed Emergency – Ward 10 with a string of television roles, in popular series such as The Avengers (1963), Z Cars (1963, as a blind former detective) and The Saint (1964), various plays and adaptations that included The Brothers Karamazov (1964-65, as Mitya Karamazov).
Barrett also acted Peter Clarke, the undercover Scotland Yard agent with an aversion to violence, in the drama series G.S.5 (a 1964 sequel to Ghost Squad) and took the dual role of Bennett and Koquillion in the Doctor Who story "The Rescue" (1965).
Fame in Mogul and The Troubleshooters brought him the money to buy a farmhouse on the Spanish island of Formentera. He also released two albums on which he sang chart hits.
The actor was offered the part of Mal in the film version of Don's Party when he returned to Australia to make a cigarette commercial in 1976. Over the next three decades, he was a regular on screen there.
He won another Australian Film Institute Award, as Best Actor, for his role as a policeman-turned-journalist blowing the whistle on Queensland politics in Goodbye Paradise (1982) and the institute's Best Supporting Actor Award for his performance as the patriarch in the family-reunion drama Hotel Sorrento (1995).
His other films included Where the Green Ants Dream (1984), the director Werner Herzog's tale of Aborigines protesting against uranium mining, in which he played a bigoted miner, Heaven's Burning (1997), as the embittered father of a fugitive played by Russell Crowe, and, finally, the director Baz Luhrmann's Australia (2008), when he was seen as Nicole Kidman's father.
On television, Barrett had regular roles as a grouchy sports journalist in Sporting Chance (1981) and a busybody coaching a poor soccer team in a former gold-mining town during the first year of the serial Something in the Air (2000). He also popped up in episodes of other serials, such as The Flying Doctors (1986), G.P. (1989) and All Saints (2004). The actor's memoirs, Ray Barrett: An Autobiography, were published in 1995. Ten years later, he was presented with the Australian Film Institute's Raymond Longford Award for outstanding achievement.
Barrett's three marriages tied in with the three stages of his working life – in Australia, Britain and back in Australia. He is survived by his third wife, Gaye O'Brien, who became his agent and was credited by him with putting both his career and life back on course, helping him to sober up after a period of heavy drinking.

Newfound Metals Stainless Ports
Has anyone had experience with the stainless NFM ports? Would like to hear pro or con before making the investment
Thanks in advance
Newfound Metals Stainless Ports
Installed ten bronze NFM''s. Have a friend who did the stainless. Except for the chrome finish of the stainless they are identical. Is your question specific to the stainless finish? If general about the quality, installation, and upkeep feel free to write to me. I can also give you my friend''s address for specific stainless questions.
Newfound Metals Stainless Ports
Thanks for the response. Was mainly interested in the quality. Have they leaked? Are you happy with yours?
Recently ran across a thread in another forum that was questioning their suitablilty for off shore work. Don''t plan to go off shore, but thought I should ask around for another opinion.
Newfound Metals Stainless Ports
Noticed my old Email address was on my response. New address is firstname.lastname@example.com
Newfound Metals Stainless Ports
Do not understand your comment about "offshore". I installed them exactly for that reason. These are heavy duty, bolt-through portlights with safety glass. And they look great. I installed six 7x14''s and four 5x12''s.
If installed and maintained properly they do not leak. The two dogs and two hinges are both adjustable to get a tight seal. Whenever I close one I run a damp cloth over the rubber seal and frame. It is a compression seal and dirt will allow leakage.
The downsides are: 1) expense, 2) difficult to install properly(write for detail), 3) require a hanging chain to keep open, and 4) they do not drain. This is a problem for me because of the sloping cabinsides. I sponge out the ones I plan to open when I arrive at the boat.
Newfound Metals Stainless Ports
Thanks much for the information.
I had already placed an order for 6 5X12''s and was concerned when I read something negative about them.
As with all things I guess, you can''t keep everyone happy all the time! Your comments are appreciated!
I would not recommend dealing with New Found Metals. They shipped the wrong ports (they Mixed up OD frame size for Inside Size) I needed 7 by 14 outside frame size and they shipped me their 7 by 14 ports which have a size of outside size of 10 by 18". I talked to the owner(Richard) prior to ordering and only gave him my old port outside frame sizes. Which is 7 inches by 14 inches long outside. So they have reshipped the correct ports, charged my Visa twice for the ports, twice for shipping, I have paid the duty into Canada twice, and he is giving me a hard time refunding any of the funds back. And to boot he yells on the phone, talks over you, blames me, is a complete jerk to deal with. I do not recommend doing business with New Found Metals what so ever. I have sent about 5 e-mails to them in this regard, about the same amount of phone calls, and the shipment is still incomplete. Screens paid for, still have not been shipped) And the large ports, which somehow he did get right, don't have the self supporting hinges. He did make 4 large custom made ports for me, and these look ok, they are missing the said screens and hinges. The original order was for 4 small ports for the v-berth, head and hanging locker on a Sabre 34 mark 1, and I had him make 4 large ports for the main sallon. He did get the large port made to the correct size(the outside frame deminsions of the old ports) but really screwed up the order on the front small ports, and now I have issues getting refunded my moneys owed to me. So be careful.
None better..
There are none better! When researching I dug into portlights to a very in depth level, as I usually do, and there are honestly very few portlights at any price that even come close to the quality of NFM. The NFM port lights represent one of the best values in the marine industry when compared to thier competition and their prices especially when you take quality into account.
The frames are solid cast stainless or solid cast bronze these are NOT cheap stamped stainless frames. The gasketing is bomb proof and the bolts are hidden from view and leaks. You would be hard pressed to find a more durable portlight for offshore work than NFM.
Richard and his wife were great to deal with if not a little bit spacey. You have to really look at the price to quality ratio though to get a full grasp of what a true value they are. If they made a mistake I'm sure they will correct it!
Aesthetically the NFM ports added thousands in value to our boat. This summer we had more gawkers than usual and people asking specifically about the georgeous ports.
Before you install these please take the time to read this very thorough installation blog (link below) on NFM ports. It takes much longer than you would think to do the job right.
When I get home I'll post some close ups of the quality and construction of these ports.
Installing New Found Metals Stainless Ports (LINK)
Beautiful boat
Hey Maine Sail,
Every time I see a picture of your boat I think what a beautiful, well maintained boat. She will turn anybody into a gawker!
I put in 8 of the tri-metal's on my hunter 31, pic's are posted elsewhere if you search sailnet for it.
It was easy all things considered, maybe 2 hours per. I've since sold the boat but since it sits in the slip next to my current boat I can positively say that 5 years later not a single drop of water has leaked in.
I'd do it again for sure.

China stocks broadly lower after bomb attacks in Brussels
* CSI300 -0.4 pct, SSEC -0.3 pct, HSI -0.3 pct
* Indexes struggle for clear direction in thin trading
* Global equities down, risk assets up, after attacks
SHANGHAI, March 23 (Reuters) - China stocks were broadly lower at midday on Wednesday, led by finance and manufacturing shares, after bomb attacks in Brussels pushed investors out of equities and into safe haven assets.
Global equity markets fell on Tuesday while safe-haven gold and government bonds were in demand after attacks on the airport and a rush-hour metro train in Brussels triggered security alerts across western Europe.
Chinese shares ended the morning session down in line with American benchmarks, but trading volumes were tepid and indexes flitted between positive and negative territory for much of the morning with no clear direction.
Total volume of A shares traded in Shanghai was 10.76 billion shares, barely a third of Tuesday's full day volume, while Shenzhen volume was 13.30 billion shares.
The CSI300 index fell 0.4 percent, to 3,212.84 points at the end of the morning session, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.3 percent, to 2,990.15 points.
China CSI300 stock index futures for April fell 0.7 percent, to 3,178.4, 34.44 points below the current value of the underlying index. Continuación...

In November 2009, the lawyer Sergei Magnitsky was beaten to death by guards after 358 days in "preventive custody" in Moscow. His offence had been to uncover a massive tax fraud scheme stretching high into the Russian government. The case became a cause célèbre, Exhibit A of the lawlessness and corruption that plagues the country's business life.
Now, almost three years later, in a rare display of bipartisanship, the US Congress is moving to pass the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act, denying visas to Russians implicated in human rights abuses and freezing their financial assets. Congress is absolutely right to pursue such legislation. But it is essential it does so in the right way. What would be wrong would be – as some on Capitol Hill demand – to link the passage of the Magnitsky Bill directly to the repeal of the Jackson-Vanik amendment.
The latter is an obsolete vestige of the Cold War, dating from 1974 and imposing trade restrictions designed to force Moscow to accelerate the emigration of Soviet Jews. That problem no longer exists, and since 1990 Jackson-Vanik has been waived annually. It is time for it to go for good. Russia is about to join the World Trade Organisation. Not only will membership bind it further into a global system of rules and laws. If the US persists with Jackson-Vanik, it will itself be in violation of WTO rules. But to insist that Jackson-Vanik be replaced by the Magnitsky bill is the wrong course, playing into President Putin's argument that Washington and the West are viscerally and irredeemably anti-Russian.
The Magnitsky Bill stands on its own merits. Yes, objections can be made. It is, by any standard, interference in the internal affairs of another country. Understandably, the Obama administration, anxious not to jeopardise Russian co-operation over international problems from Iran to Syria, is extremely wary of it. And who will decide which individuals are targeted – the State Department, or Congress? The measure could even prove counter-productive, further poisoning business practices in Russia as feuding factions and oligarchs seek to have each other placed on Washington's blacklist.
The advantages, however, far outweigh the disadvantages. In the best Soviet fashion, the Russians promise to retaliate in kind. But Mr Putin himself has expressed alarm, a sign of his desire to avoid anything that might destabilise the rotten system, almost wholly dependent on energy and raw material revenues, over which he presides. The Russian opposition welcomes the Bill, as does almost every Russian who believes in the rule of law. Above all, it is the least that we owe Sergei Magnitsky.
