1. All lots—which term shall include all forms of personal property whatsoever and property fitted or affixed to land—are tendered for sale subject to these Conditions, no variation of which shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by a person duly authorised by the Auctioneer. In these Conditions "the Auctioneer" shall be the company or firm or person, or his or their servant or agent, who has agreed to auction any lot. By making a bid for any lot, the person making the bid warrants that he has read, makes his bid upon and agrees to be bound by these Conditions, and further warrants that he has due authority and capacity to make the bid and binds both himself and any employer or principal to honour any contract resulting therefrom. Any bid shall be deemed to be an offer by the buyer (a term used herein as including the bidder and any principal or employer of the bidder) to purchase any lot tendered upon these Conditions alone.
2. The Auctioneer tenders any lot for sale as agent for and on behalf of the person from or through whom instructions for sale have been received (the Seller) and not on the Auctioneer's own behalf. The sale of any lot shall be concluded and binding at the moment when the lot is knocked down. The highest bid will be accepted save in exceptional circumstances, such circumstances to be determined by the Auctioneer whose decision shall be unchallengeable.
3. The Auctioneer shall have the sole and exclusive right at the site of the auction to determine all matters whatsoever concerning the conduct and/or effect of any auction sale or purported sale and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing he shall be entitled to resolve disputes between bidders, to reject any bid, to withdraw, divide or consolidate any lot or lots and he will be entitled to bid on the Seller's behalf. He will further be entitled to require proof of identity and/or of authority from any bidder.
4. The buyer must forthwith identify himself and any principal or employer, together with appropriate means of identification, to the Auctioneer, his servants or agents and if required to do so must pay 25 per cent of the sale price forthwith by way of deposit. The total sale price, less any such sum, must be paid to the Auctioneer at his office or elsewhere as he may direct. Payment in full shall be deemed not to have occurred until any negotiable instrument has been honoured in full (or cash has been paid) such payment to be made within the time specified in the sale notes or in default of specification by 5 o'clock p.m. on the day of the auction or on the next complete working day (excluding Saturdays). Time of payment shall be of the essence. The buyer shall not be entitled to remove any lot from its position at the time of sale until the purchase price of that and any other lot purchased at the auction has been paid in full and in default of payment as aforesaid the Auctioneer shall have a lien upon all lots purchased by the buyer during the same auction and shall be entitled to rescind the sale in respect of any lot or lots for which full payment is not made in due time, forfeit any deposit paid in respect of them and resell the same without any right of compensation in the buyer. The Auctioneer shall also be entitled to charge interest upon any unpaid balance at the rate of 1 per cent above Base Rate from time to time and to charge for storage arising after the time for removal at the rate of 25 per cent per annum of the sale price until he elects to rescind the sale, if at all, which election he may make at any time after such non-payment.
5. The title to any lot shall remain in the Seller until the full sale price and any storage and interest charges have been paid to the Auctioneer, but the risk of damage to or loss of the lot by whatsoever cause and in whatsoever circumstances shall be transferred to the buyer upon the sale.
6. The Auctioneer warrants that he will only sell lots which he believes to be owned by the Seller or to which the Seller will be able to pass a good title but should it transpire that the Seller's title to any lot is defective or that the Seller cannot pass a good title to the buyer, the Auctioneer shall be under no obligation to the buyer, other than to use his best reasonable endeavours (short of litigation), to procure the transfer of a good title to the buyer and to assist the buyer in exercising any remedies that he may have against the Seller.
7. The buyer shall remove any lot for which he has paid in full plus other charges, if any, by the time for removal, which shall be either the time for payment or the time stated in any sale notes of the Auctioneer, whichever shall be the later, but provided that no lot shall be removed without the Auctioneer's express written consent while the Auction is continuing. The buyer shall be responsible for the removal of the articles and such removal must be carried out safely and lawfully. Flame cutting, the use of explosives or of any other potentially hazardous or inflammatory process shall not be permissible at the site without express written consent. The buyer agrees to insure against and to indemnify the Auctioneer and the Seller against any and all claims arising in respect of injury or damage to person or property, whether real or personal, caused by or in connection with the acts or omissions of the buyer, whether caused by himself, his servants or agents or his principals or employer.
Buyers must insure against these risks.
8. All conditions and warranties as to the condition, quality, description or fitness for any purpose whatsoever of any lot sold by the Auctioneer are hereby expressly excluded. Neither the Auctioneer nor the Seller will be bound by or liable for any representation of any kind whatsoever, whensoever or howsoever made. Neither the Auctioneer nor the Seller shall be liable for any loss or damage whether caused by negligence or otherwise of either or both or of their servants or agents and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing neither the Auctioneer nor the Seller shall be liable for any loss of profit, business or production or similar or other loss whether direct or indirect or consequential, however caused. In the circumstances any potential buyer should rely solely and exclusively upon his own inspection of any lot and should not treat statements made in sale particulars or before or during the auction by the Seller or Auctioneer either as representations or to be relied upon.
N.B. A sale by auction is not a consumer sale. Consumer Rights Act 2015
No vehicle is warranted or held out to be roadworthy and no lot is warranted or held out to be merchantable or safe for use or complying with statutory requirements for use, display or movement. The Auctioneer, his servants and agents have no authority to make representations.
9. The buyer hereby undertakes to ensure that any lot he purchases will be used moved or displayed whether at the site of the auction or elsewhere only when he has ensured that such use and/or movement and/or display is lawful and safe.
10. Should a buyer, by himself, his servants or agents cause damage in any way to the site of the auction or damage to or loss of any lot thereat, the Auctioneer shall be entitled to exercise a lien in respect of any and all lots purchased by the buyer until such damage or loss has been paid for in full, whether or not the lots or any of them have been paid for in full, such loss and damage to be assessed by the Auctioneer whose decision shall be final and unchallengeable. The Auctioneer's assessed sum shall be paid by the buyer upon receipt of invoice therefor and payment shall be made forthwith, time being of the essence.
11. If before title to any lot has passed to the buyer thereof, the buyer, being an individual, dies, enters into a composition or arrangement for the benefit of his creditors or has a Receiving Order in Bankruptcy made against him or, being a body corporate, has a Receiver or a Receiver and Manager appointed or goes into liquidation or enters into a composition or arrangement for the benefit of its creditors, then the contract for sale of such lot shall be automatically and without notice rescinded unless the Auctioneer elects otherwise within 2 working days of written notice of such an event. Upon rescission, any deposit paid by the buyer shall be forfeit and the Auctioneer shall be entitled to exercise the rights set out in Clause 4.
12. If a buyer is permitted to take possession of any lot before the full sale price has been paid, the Seller and/or Auctioneer shall be entitled to enter upon any premises of the buyer or under his control in order to repossess such lot.
13. If, before title passes to the buyer under these Conditions, the buyer nevertheless purports to resell or otherwise dispose of the lot or any interest therein, the buyer shall hold the proceeds of such sale or other disposition upon trust for the Auctioneer and the Seller jointly until title passes to the buyer under these Conditions, if at all, and in the meantime the buyer shall not deal with, charge or dispose of such proceeds except with the written consent of the Seller or of the Auctioneer.
14. These Conditions shall be construed in accordance with and governed by English law save in respect of sales in Scotland and Northern Ireland which shall be construed in accordance with and governed by Scottish and Northern Irish law respectively.
It is expressly brought to the Bidder's attention that, at the time of sale, any item of plant, machinery or equipment contained in the lot(s) may not necessarily comply with the Health and Safety at Work Etc. Act 1974 or any other Act or Acts or Regulations thereunder governing the use of the plant, machinery or equipment in a working environment. Successful Bidders for any such plant, machinery or equipment are hereby required to ensure that the use of any such plant and equipment at a place of work within the United Kingdom does not contravene such relevant Act or Regulation thereunder applicable thereto.
It is expressly brought to the attention of Bidders (successful or otherwise) that certain types of plant or main service installations could contain blue or white asbestos, dangerous chemicals etc. which if not handled correctly during their removal from the site could be in breach of the Health and Safety at Work Etc. Act 1974 Section 2-9 and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 (COSH H) or any other current legislations covering the use of such substances in a working environment.

You are probably familiar with multitasking: the ability to have more than one program working at what seems like the same time. For example, you can print while editing or sending a fax. Of course, unless you have a multiple-processor machine, what is really going on is that the operating system is doling out resources to each program, giving the impression of parallel activity. This resource distribution is possible because while you may think you are keeping the computer busy by, for example, entering data, most of the CPU's time will be idle. (A fast typist takes around 1/20 of a second per character typed, after all, which is a huge time interval for a computer.)
Multitasking can be done in two ways, depending on whether the operating system interrupts programs without consulting with them first, or whether pro-grams are only interrupted when they are willing to yield control. The former is called preemptive multitasking; the latter is called cooperative (or, simply, nonpreemptive) multitasking. Windows 3.1 and Mac OS 9 are cooperative multitasking systems, and UNIX/Linux, Windows NT (and Windows 95 for 32-bit programs), and OS X are preemptive. (Although harder to implement, preemptive multitasking is much more effective. With cooperative multitasking, a badly behaved program can hog everything.)
Multithreaded programs extend the idea of multitasking by taking it one level lower: individual programs will appear to do multiple tasks at the same time. Each task is usually called a threadwhich is short for thread of control. Programs that can run more than one thread at once are said to be multithreaded. Think of each thread as running in a separate context: contexts make it seem as though each thread has its own CPUwith registers, memory, and its own code.
So, what is the difference between multiple processes and multiple threads? The essential difference is that while each process has a complete set of its own variables, threads share the same data. This sounds somewhat risky, and indeed it can be, as you will see later in this chapter. But it takes much less overhead to create and destroy individual threads than it does to launch new processes, which is why all modern operating systems support multithreading. Moreover, inter-process communication is much slower and more restrictive than communication between threads.
Multithreading is extremely useful in practice. For example, a browser should be able to simultaneously download multiple images. An email program should let you read your email while it is downloading new messages. The Java programming language itself uses a thread to do garbage collection in the backgroundthus saving you the trouble of managing memory! Graphical user interface (GUI) programs have a separate thread for gathering user interface events from the host operating environment. This chapter shows you how to add multithreading capability to your Java applications and applets.
Fair warning: multithreading can get very complex. In this chapter, we present all of the tools that the Java programming language provides for thread programming. We explain their use and limitations and give some simple but typical examples. However, for more intricate situations, we suggest that you turn to a more advanced reference, such as Concurrent Programming in Java by Doug Lea [Addison-Wesley 1999].
In many programming languages, you have to use an external thread package to do multithreaded programming. The Java programming language builds in multithreading, which makes your job much easier.
What Are Threads?
Let us start by looking at a program that does not use multiple threads and that, as a consequence, makes it difficult for the user to perform several tasks with that program. After we dissect it, we will then show you how easy it is to have this program run separate threads. This program animates a bouncing ball by continually moving the ball, finding out if it bounces against a wall, and then redrawing it. (See Figure 11.)
As soon as you click on the "Start" button, the program launches a ball from the upper-left corner of the screen and the ball begins bouncing. The handler of the "Start" button calls the addBall method:
public void addBall() { try { Ball b = new Ball(canvas); canvas.add(b); for (int i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) { b.move(); Thread.sleep(5); } } catch (InterruptedException exception) { } }
That method contains a loop running through 1,000 moves. Each call to move moves the ball by a small amount, adjusts the direction if it bounces against a wall, and then redraws the canvas. The static sleep method of the Thread class pauses for 5 milliseconds.
Figure 11: Using a thread to animate a bouncing ball
The call to Thread.sleep does not create a new threadsleep is a static method of the Thread class that temporarily stops the activity of the current thread.
The sleep method can throw an InterruptedException. We will discuss this exception and its proper handling later. For now, we simply terminate the bouncing if this exception occurs.
If you run the program, the ball bounces around nicely, but it completely takes over the application. If you become tired of the bouncing ball before it has finished its 1,000 bounces and click on the "Close" button, the ball continues bouncing anyway. You cannot interact with the program until the ball has finished bouncing.
If you carefully look over the code at the end of this section, you will notice the call
inside the move method of the Ball class. That is pretty strangenormally, you'd call repaint and let the AWT worry about getting the graphics context and doing the painting. But if you try to call canvas.repaint() in this program, you'll find out that the canvas is never repainted since the addBall method has completely taken over all processing. In the next program, where we use a separate thread to compute the ball position, we'll again use the familiar repaint.
Obviously, the behavior of this program is rather poor. You would not want the programs that you use behaving in this way when you ask them to do a time-consuming job. After all, when you are reading data over a network connection, it is all too common to be stuck in a task that you would really like to interrupt. For example, suppose you download a large image and decide, after seeing a piece of it, that you do not need or want to see the rest; you certainly would like to be able to click on a "Stop" or "Back" button to interrupt the loading process. In the next section, we will show you how to keep the user in control by running crucial parts of the code in a separate thread.
Example 11 is the entire code for the program.

In the previous sections, you learned what is required to split a program into multiple concurrent tasks. Each task needs to be placed into a run method of a class that extends Thread. But what if we want to add the run method to a class that already extends another class? This occurs most often when we want to add multithreading to an applet. An applet class already inherits from JApplet, and we cannot inherit from two parent classes, so we need to use an interface. The necessary interface is built into the Java platform. It is called Runnable. We take up this important interface next.
Using Threads to Give Other Tasks a Chance
We will make our bouncing-ball program more responsive by running the code that moves the ball in a separate thread.
Since most computers do not have multiple processors, the Java virtual machine (JVM) uses a mechanism in which each thread gets a chance to run for a little while, then activates another thread. The virtual machine generally relies on the host operating system to provide the thread scheduling package.
Our next program uses two threads: one for the bouncing ball and another for the event dispatch thread that takes care of user interface events. Because each thread gets a chance to run, the main thread has the opportunity to notice when you click on the "Close" button while the ball is bouncing. It can then process the "close" action.
There is a simple procedure for running code in a separate thread: place the code into the run method of a class derived from Thread.
To make our bouncing-ball program into a separate thread, we need only derive a class BallThread from Thread and place the code for the animation inside the run method, as in the following code:
class BallThread extends Thread { . . . public void run() { try { for (int i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) { b.move(); sleep(5); } } catch (InterruptedException exception) { } } . . . }
You may have noticed that we are catching an exception called Interrupted-Exception. Methods such as sleep and wait throw this exception when your thread is interrupted because another thread has called the interrupt method. Interrupting a thread is a very drastic way of getting the thread's attention, even when it is not active. Typically, a thread is interrupted to terminate it. Accordingly, our run method exits when an InterruptedException occurs.
Running and Starting Threads
When you construct an object derived from Thread, the run method is not automatically called.
BallThread thread = new BallThread(. . .); // won't run yet
You must call the start method in your object to actually start a thread.
Do not call the run method directlystart will call it when the thread is set up and ready to go. Calling the run method directly merely executes its contents in the same threadno new thread is started.
Beginners are sometimes misled into believing that every method of a Thread object automatically runs in a new thread. As you have seen, that is not true. The methods of any object (whether a Thread object or not) run in whatever thread they are called. A new thread is only started by the start method. That new thread then executes the run method.
In the Java programming language, a thread needs to tell the other threads when it is idle, so the other threads can grab the chance to execute the code in their run procedures. (See Figure 12.) The usual way to do this is through the static sleep method. The run method of the BallThread class uses the call to sleep(5) to indicate that the thread will be idle for the next five milliseconds. After five milliseconds, it will start up again, but in the meantime, other threads have a chance to get work done.
There are a number of static methods in the Thread class. They all operate on the current thread, that is, the thread that executes the method. For example, the static sleep method idles the thread that is calling sleep.

constructs a new thread. You must start the thread to activate its run method.
void run()
You must override this function and add the code that you want to have executed in the thread.
void start()
starts this thread, causing the run() method to be called. This method will return immediately. The new thread runs concurrently.
Running Multiple Threads
Run the program in the preceding section. Now, click on the "Start" button again while a ball is running. Click on it a few more times. You will see a whole bunch of balls bouncing away, as captured in Figure 13. Each ball will move 1,000 times until it comes to its final resting place.
Figure 13: Multiple threads
This example demonstrates a great advantage of the thread architecture in the Java programming language. It is very easy to create any number of autonomous objects that appear to run in parallel.
Occasionally, you may want to enumerate the currently running threadssee the API note in the "Thread Groups" section for details.
The Runnable Interface
We could have saved ourselves a class by having the Ball class extend the Thread class. As an added advantage of that approach, the run method has access to the private fields of the Ball class:
class Ball extends Thread { public void run() { try { for (int i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) { x += dx; y += dy; . . . canvas.repaint(); sleep(5); } } catch (InterruptedException exception) { } } . . . private Component canvas; private int x = 0; private int y = 0; private int dx = 2; private int dy = 2; }
Conceptually, of course, this is dubious. A ball isn't a thread, so inheritance isn't really appropriate. Nevertheless, programmers sometimes follow this approach when the run method of a thread needs to access private fields of another class. In the preceding section, we've avoided that issue altogether by having the run method call only public methods of the Ball class, but it isn't always so easy to do that.
Suppose the run method needs access to private fields, but the class into which you want to put the run method already has another superclass. Then it can't extend the Thread class, but you can make the class implement the Runnable interface. As though you had derived from Thread, put the code that needs to run in the run method. For example,
class Animation extends JApplet implements Runnable { . . . public void run() { // thread action goes here } }
You still need to make a thread object to launch the thread. Give that thread a reference to the Runnable object in its constructor. The thread then calls the run method of that object.
class Animation extends JApplet implements Runnable { . . . public void start() { runner = new Thread(this); runner.start(); } . . . private Thread runner; }
In this case, the this argument to the Thread constructor specifies that the object whose run method should be called when the thread executes is an instance of the Animation object.
Some people even claim that you should always follow this approach and never subclass the Thread class. That advice made sense for Java 1.0, before inner classes were invented, but it is now outdated. If the run method of a thread needs private access to another class, you can often use an inner class, like this:
class Animation extends JApplet { . . . public void start() { runner = new Thread() { public void run() { // thread action goes here } }; runner.start(); } . . . private Thread runner; }
A plausible use for the Runnable interface would be a thread pool in which pre-spawned threads are kept around for running. Thread pools are sometimes used in environments that execute huge numbers of threads, to reduce the cost of creating and garbage collecting thread objects.
Thread(Runnable target)
constructs a new thread that calls the run() method of the specified target.
void run()
You must override this method and place in the thread the code that you want to have executed.

Police say they shot and killed a bear cub that was hit by a car as it tried to cross Vanderbilt Hill Road Wednesday morning.
The bear was still alive when police arrived on scene a little after 6:34 a.m. when the call came in, but it was "gravely injured," said Lt. David Campbell, a spokesman for the Juneau Police Department.
"If an animal is suffering, and it's a wild animal, then in order to ease the suffering of the animal we'll put it down," Campbell said in a phone interview.
The bear was killed at about 7 a.m. An official from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game recovered the bear's body a few minutes later.
It was not immediately known what type of vehicle hit the bear, or the cause of the accident. The crash was reported to police by the person driving the vehicle, and the motorist's identity was not released.
Neil Barten, a Fish and Game Wildlife Management Coordinator who retrieved the bear's body, said JPD did the right thing by killing the bear by gunshot.
Barten speculated the bear had broken its back or crushed its pelvis because it was unable to walk.
"The poor thing was on the road, and it was trying to crawl," he said.
Barten said it was a male black bear cub that was brownish in colour. He estimated it weighed 75 pounds and was less than a year old.
Fish and Game has received reports that a female black bear and her three cubs — two of which were black and one that was brown — have been in the area.
Barten speculated that the brown cub was straggling behind while following its mother and siblings crossing the street when it was hit by the car.
As Barten was loading the cub's remains into the back of his pickup truck, he said the mother and her two remaining cubs re-crossed the street and scurried back toward the hillside above Twin Lakes.
"It's just kind of unfortunate because they were getting so close to getting to bed for the winter," Barton said, adding that bear sightings in town will drop off in the next two weeks as the bears begin to hibernate.
Barten said about four to five bears are hit on the road each year in Juneau.

With the recent explosion in cycling popularity, the United States is experiencing record growth in the sport of cycling. This is a particularly encouraging development in a country which has largely associated cyclists with automotive target practice using projectiles like Gatorade bottles and 7-11 Big Gulps.
Each day a new cyclist dons his or her two wheeled steed for the first time is a day where more people learn to tolerate the sport. However, if you go out on the road and look like the quintessential cycling geek who clearly doesn't know what they're doing, you will only hurt the cyclist's cause for social acceptance.
We all have to start somewhere, and I was definitely not immune to being a neophyte. I had all the rookie characteristics: the obscenely large helmet, haggard looking shorts, baggy jersey, hairy legs, greasy chain marks on my calves, bobbing posture on the bike – oh yes, I was indeed a tool.
However, not all rookies have to be subject to ridicule. There is a way to look experienced without having thousands of miles under your legs; you just have to pay attention to the details. This article is targeted towards folks who are new to the sport of cycling and wish to avoid the potential embarrassment I was put through as a rookie.
Tip 1: No Pro Kits
The cardinal violation in trying to be a cool cyclist is when you buy a full professional team kit (jersey, shorts, socks, etc.) of a team you do not ride for. Nothing screams ROOKIE louder than a full Discovery Channel uniform on a non-payroll cyclist. Steer clear of these overpriced kits. The only time these types of jerseys are acceptable is when they are vintage. General rule of thumb is 10 years after a team's disbanding. For instance, if you hit the road in a vintage Motorola or Coors Light jersey, you get big style points. Just make sure you know a few of the cyclists who rode for those teams so that when approached by other cyclists, you can sound knowledgeable.
Tip 2: Buy the coolest helmet you can afford
When it comes to helmets, don't skimp. You are going to be wearing this piece of equipment all the time (hopefully), and you want to be motivated to put it on. If you have some cheapo brain bucket or a nicer one that is two sizes too small, you'll never want to wear it. Back in the day when I was young and stupid, I thought riding around with no helmet and gel that made my hair glisten was cool – well, it wasn't. My Giro Pneumo helmet looks far cooler than my bare cranium, especially when it's hemorrhaging blood after a head-over-shammy 30 mile per hour crash.

Internet and Electronic Commerce Indicators Update
T he growth of electronic commerce is being propelled by developments in the United States. The number of secure servers in the United States nearly doubled, between April 1999 and April 2000, to reach 52 000.
The Member countries leading in use of secure servers for electronic commerce, on a per capita basis, are the United States, Iceland, Australia, and New Zealand (Chart 1). In April 2000, the US had 193 secure servers per million inhabitants compared to Canada (101), UK (59), Germany (37), France (19), Japan (17), and Italy (12).
In March 2000, the United States had 185 Internet Hosts per 1000 inhabitants. This compared with 83 per 1000 for Canada, 41 per 1000 for the United Kingdom, 23 per 1000 for Germany and Japan, 16 per 1000 for France. Chart 2 shows the penetration rates for all OECD countries as at September 1999. Current penetration rates for some OECD countries are available from Telcordia's Netsizer .
Chart 3 shows the penetration rates of Internet hosts and secure servers. There are six countries ahead of the OECD average on both scales - Australia, Canada, Iceland, New Zealand, Sweden and the United States.
The OECD regularly undertakes comparisons of Internet access prices. The most recent comparisons are for March 2000 . Chart 4 shows a correlation between the penetration of Internet hosts and the average price for Internet access, as recorded in successive OECD surveys, from 1995 to 2000.
Internet surveys of secure servers and hosts provide key indicators of Internet development and may be used as one potential indicator of comparative Internet development between countries. Historical data is available in the OECD Communications Outlook 1999 . These data are formulated from the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) survey undertaken by Netcraft .
Surveys of Internet hosts are undertaken by several entities. Network Wizards , on behalf of the Internet Software Consortium (ISC) , undertake the longest running host survey. This survey is carried out every six months. Alternatively, RIPE conduct a survey of Internet hosts every month for countries in their region. A third source of statistics is Telcordia .
Internet Access Pricing
The OECD regularly undertakes comparisons of Internet access prices. The most recent comparisons and background on the methodology are available here .
Secure servers
The Netcraft SSL Server survey provides one of the best available indicators of the growth of electronic commerce on the Internet. Whereas, the leading search engines only cover http sites, Netcraft also undertakes a secure socket layer (SSL) survey. The SSL protocol was developed by Netscape for encrypted transmission over TCP/IP networks. It sets up a secure end-to-end link over which http or any other application protocol can operate. The most common application of SSL is https (i.e. ssl-encrypted http), a leading enabler for electronic commerce over the Internet. For example, a user purchasing a product can use this technology to purchase goods and services over the Internet.
Internet Hosts
Network Wizards define an Internet host as a domain name that has an associated IP address record. This would be any computer system connected to the Internet (via full or part-time, direct or dial-up connections), such as oecd.org. The Network Wizards survey includes all country code Top Level Domains (ccTLDs such as .be for Belgium) and generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs such as .com) and is undertaken every six months. One qualification that needs to be made is that host data, do not indicate the total number of users who can access the Internet. Surveys of Internet hosts may only be interpreted as the minimum size of the 'public Internet', as it is impossible to determine the number of users accessing services via each host. redistribute hosts under domain names such as .com, .net and .org to individual countries.
Telcordia Internet Sizer
Another source of host statistics is the NetSizer, Internet Sizer of Telcordia Technologies. This site provides daily updates of number of Internet hosts based on a random sample of IP addresses sampled throughout every day. Because NetSizer collects and analyses the data continuously, estimates are provided on a real time basis. Telcordia provides hosts by country as well as by top level and second level domains. The former is computed by redistributing the hosts with three letter domains (e.g. com, net, etc.) to individual countries and then adding them to the hosts by two letter country domains.

The Things That Made Today the Perfect Day
1. I got to sleep in. Ashtyn says 7:30 is not sleeping in, but I slept till I was fully awake. That's a beautiful thing.
2. The weather was PERFECT. We reached 70 degrees, and it was sunny. That's warm enough to not need a jacket, to make the car hot and wonderful when you first get in it, to roll down the windows and get a beautiful breeze, and to remember that life is still there, after a long winter's nap.
3. I got to watch high school kids sing. And sing well. One of them was our son. His ensemble won a "1" at State! (We didn't get the results on his solo yet.)
4. I got to visit with my grandparents and my aunts and uncle. (The only way it could be better is if my parents had been there, too.)
5. Grandma had burnt almond fudge ice cream for her birthday, and she shared it with me.
6. I had a nice nap in the afternoon that wasn't so long that it made me groggy.
7. We were taught by a member of the Seventy at our stake conference, and it was wonderful.
8. Ashtyn made dinner. Not only did we have a wonderful dinner, I did not have to make it.
9. Ashtyn cleaned up her cooking. Isn't that great!?
10. Ashtyn is acting normal. Woot!
This was a beautiful, wonderful day. Wish you were here!

Fun in the Sand and the Sun
Ashtyn wanted me to get wet with her. I love the ocean, but it was COLD water, and the wind was brisk. So she said, "Can I bury you in the sand?" I nodded, and her eyebrows shot up? "Really?" she queried. I nodded. "Really, really?" she asked. I nodded.
So she and her friends got busy digging a hole big enough to fit Bri and I in, and then they buried us.
We are still shaking sand out of things! :) So. much. fun.

I Have My Grandmother's Skin
There are two reasons why I like to wear long sleeves. The first is that I am always cold; the second is that things that rub against my arms hurt.
I have worn short sleeves for the past 4 days. My left forearm is really sore. Just like Grandma's used to get.
I haven't yet needed to try 5,000 different styles of tops, and I don't have a satin pillowcase pinned to the armrest of the chair.

Why ICS Employees Are the Way They Are
Jesse's son, who has become the support guru in the Public Affairs Department, helped me download some software to allow me to put the picture and the music of my choice on my phone. Now our children are peering at me from inside a teepee each time I glance at my phone, and Chicago sings "You're the Inspiration" each time someone calls me.
My boss helped me through this--honest!
And that, my friends, is why ICS people are the way they are. The end.

Little Goodbyes
Remember that job I took a couple of months ago, wherein I was going to be Leland's secretary? And remember that the next week Leland was assigned to work at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, Hawaii? Remember the weeks of doing NOTHING because--as far as HQF in SLC was concerned--Leland was doing nothing? Remember how I was also supposed to support Jared, but he "lives" 9 floors away from me?
Well, my friends, it is time for some little goodbyes:
Goodbye to Leland, who leaves for Hawaii (for three years) this Saturday, but whose last official day at work (in SLC for three years) was yesterday. Incidentally, I will still be Leland's secretary. We will be working via email and shared network drives for the next three years. I'm looking forward to that challenge.
Goodbye to 2LL, as Jared (temporarily) moves to 8. BTW, I emailed Jared yesterday and told him that I thought Karleen should move to 8, too. She'd get a whole lot done, I said. It would be quiet, I said. She would be happy, I said. There's room here, I said. Jared said, hmmmm...
Goodbye to having nothing to do, because Jared is getting me busy with processes--Hooray!
AND--one more:
Goodbye, SLC. I will be visiting San Diego for a few short days. I hope you miss me. I hope you take care of my two Spencers while I'm gone. I hope you don't move directly into summer while I'm gone.
Sometimes goodbyes are a really good thing!

Basically, I'm a Bum
Here's the thing. Every time life has gotten stressful, my writing goes away. Wedding? Funeral? Primary Program? New job? New baby? I have no record of any of these things. My posterity will think my life just sailed along without anything hard because I never write about them till the stress is gone. And once the stress is gone, what's to write? I made it through. Let's not think about it ever again.
Additionally, I haven't gone running in a week and a half. Never mind that the Ragnar is just two months away. It's too cold. I'm too stressed.
Yard work? Forget it.
So really, I'm just a bum. I come home, get into my jammies, and curl up with a book, a movie, The Biggest Loser, or my embroidery. I guess the writing's not the only thing that goes away.
BTW, the fact that I'm writing tonight is a good sign. :)

So what does the third Latvian letter of the Family History Through the Alphabet challenge get us? Ērģeles!
I'll admit, this one is a bit of a stretch. But there aren't many Latvian words that start with Ē (a long E sound – not like the "ee" in "feet", but rather an elongation of the "e" in "elephant"), so I had to be creative. "Ērģeles" means "organ" – as in, the type of instrument.
I bring them up because they were very important to the churches that our ancestors worshiped in. Latvia has a number of organs that are of global historical note, rather than just Latvian historical note.
The most prominent of these is the organ found in the Holy Trinity Lutheran Cathedral in Liepāja, on the west coast of Latvia. The organ was originally built in 1758, and then expanded in 1774 and 1885. After this last expansion, it was the biggest mechanical organ in the world until 1912, when it was surpassed by an organ in Hamburg, Germany. Now, the Liepāja Cathedral organ is the biggest non-reconstructed mechanical organ in the world, but it seems like reconstruction and restoration work might be starting on it relatively soon. See it in its original state while you still can!
Another well-known organ is the one in the Dom Cathedral in Rīga. It is the second-largest organ in Latvia, after that in Liepāja. It was originally inaugurated in 1884 and reconstructed in 1983. The first organ in the Dom Cathedral was actually the largest one of its time, but it was lost in a fire in 1547.
Have you experienced any organ music in Latvia? Do tell!

My name is Kirsty Millican and I work for the Historic Landuse Assessment (HLA) Project at RCAHMS. The site I would like to focus on may not seem the most spectacular; if you visited it today all you would see is an apparently unremarkable arable field. Instead, like many thousands of sites in Scotland, it is revealed to us just as cropmarks – the differential growth of crops above buried features – photographed from the air. At Westerton in Perth and Kinross, these cropmarks reveal the former presence of a Neolithic timber enclosure (probably built sometime between around 3300 and 2600 BC, and classified on RCAHMS Canmore pages as a pit enclosure because of the way it is revealed on the aerial photograph), an enigmatic type of monument that I find as fascinating as much for the way in which it is revealed to us today as for the glimpse it gives us of the activities and structures built by our prehistoric ancestors.
The image here shows the Westerton enclosure quite clearly – it's the rectangular enclosure in the centre of the photograph defined by two parallel lines of five neat circular dark marks with one centrally placed mark at each end. These circular marks in the crop record the presence of buried post pits – the holes dug to take standing timber posts. The posts themselves have long since decayed and disappeared and only the infilled pits remain beneath the soil. And here's my interpretation of these marks with the enclosure in red. North is at top of this image, so the enclosure is at a slightly different angle to that in the aerial photograph.
Today there is nothing above ground to indicate that Westerton was once the location of an important prehistoric structure (see image below) and indeed it was built of a relatively ephemeral material, wood, which would decay and disappear over time. However, through the medium of differential crop growth and ripening caused by the buried features and the fact that those features were captured on a photograph taken from a small aeroplane, we have this picture of a monument constructed over 4000 years ago. Therefore, from these simple marks in the crop, it is possible to begin piecing together something of what people were doing, or at least building, here thousands of years ago. This in turn gives us a window onto the past peoples and societies, their lives, activities, beliefs and values. I continually find it amazing the something as apparently simple as the way in which crops grow can reveal so much.
So let's return to Westerton and see what it can tell us. The site at Westerton has never been excavated, but we know from similar sites dug elsewhere that it likely dates to the later Neolithic period (probably somewhere between around 3300 BC and 2600 BC) and that those post pits would have held substantial timber posts, probably of oak. This, then, was a substantial timber structure. For a variety of structural reasons it generally thought that Westerton, and other similar structures, are unlikely to have had a roof. Clues to the purpose and use of these timber enclosures are fragmentary, but they are usually interpreted as having some kind of ceremonial and/or funerary function. Below is one possible reconstruction of what Westerton may have looked like. As only the holes dug to take the upright timbers survive, inevitably there is a lot of speculation involved in reconstructions such as this. For example the timber posts may have been modified, carved or painted in some way, and there may well have been fencing between the posts. Despite what we do know, there remains an element of mystery about these Neolithic timber structures. Nevertheless, images such as this at least help us to begin to imagine what they may have looked like.
Some of the excavated sites that help us to interpret the cropmarks at Westerton are also found in Perth and Kinross, and the RCAHMS Canmore pages have some wonderful images of these sites. These include the timber structure excavated at Littleour and one at Carsie Mains. Another similar, though unexcavated, cropmark site has been recorded at Balrae. Several other timber enclosures are also known elsewhere in Scotland. Therefore, we know of several of these mysterious sites both in Perth and Kinross and beyond. Whether they were all exactly contemporary is impossible to say but, who knows, perhaps the same people who built Westerton knew of the structures at Littleour and Carsie Mains and the communities that built them. Certainly they knew the reasons for their construction, reasons that can only be vaguely grasped today, and will have participated in particular ceremonies and events both within and around these structures. Whatever they were used for, these were undoubtedly important structures. Think of the effort involved in cutting down oak trees without metal tools (these enclosures were built before the introduction of metal to Scotland, so stone axes must have been used) and of erecting the large timbers to form the enclosure without the use of modern machinery.
There is much more that could be said about this site; there just isn't enough room in a single blog post. However, I hope this has given some flavour of why I find sites such as Westerton so fascinating, and the way in which such ghostly marks in crops can reveal a wealth of information. This information would be unreachable (and indeed Westeron and many thousands of other cropmark sites would be entirely unknown) without a combination of the effects of buried archaeology on growing crops, the aerial survey of individuals and organisations such as RCAHMS and the luck that meant someone flew over this site at just the right moment to see and record it. The fact that all these factors came together at just the right time allows us to reach back to the things people and communities were doing and building in a location more than 4000 years ago. It truly is fascinating!

Good Morning,
Equity futures are up slightly at the open this morning, the dollar is up again, bonds are flat, oil is higher and challenging $100 from below, gold and silver are strongly higher, and most food commodities are higher as well.
No significant economic data today, and the rest of the week is fairly light with the highlight being PPI, CPI, and International Trade.
I see exactly no beef, all I see is fluff and a public that has been totally hypnotized with disinformation. Not one shred of evidence to support the Bin Laden storyline (sorry, but that video released this weekend is a joke), no one is investigating an obviously tampered Birth Certificate presented by our President, and meanwhile the truly important stories drop from everyone's attention, like the fact that we're brewing another war in Libya, trying to brew one in Pakistan, and we're still ignoring the fallout from Fukushima.
The business media is definitely all fluff – I watched a report that centered upon the question, "Was the 'investment' the American public made in GM the best public investment ever?"
Gee, and I'm not being led anywhere by the way they framed that question, am I? Of course they roll out the happy idiots who have no remorse at taking fluff money to shill a mindless storyline. Not one person even hinted what would have happened had they been allowed to fail – like the possibility that new companies would have been allowed to start up and bring truly innovative products to market. Alternatives are not allowed to be discussed when shilling is in progress.
Just like people who see alternatives to the storyline being offered by our politicians are ridiculed in the press for having alternative opinions or for even, heaven to Betsy, asking for proof of ridiculous assertions. It's stunning to me the wide acceptance of the storyline when it is accompanied by absolutely no proof and completely unbelievable assertions. In fact I believe there are several assertions in the official storyline that are outright lies – a couple are even physical impossibilities like the timeline presented to test and compare his DNA. Again, they have made this a matter of faith, like religion, but I must remain agnostic until convinced otherwise. Actually I lean more to disbelief as the evidence and reality do not match the storyline.
Yet no reporter questions, for they know that if they do they will have no job in order to feed their family and to keep them in the lavish lifestyle which they are now accustomed to. For those who feed the storyline Kool-Aid are rewarded, while those who question it are passed off as whack-jobs.
Thankfully in Japan the Prime Minister ordered CHUBU Electric to shutter the most vulnerable nuclear plant in Japan – Hamaoka. This is a step in the right direction, and it's still unfathomable to me the way our own government is ignoring the risks. Again, it's a sign that total government capture has occurred by the special interests.
Greece was downgraded once again – Europe is simply a debt saturated mess where few wish to acknowledge reality. The central bankers made it known that they expect "collateral" for their worthless money loans, and fortunately it looks like they are being told to pound sand. Finally talk of "restructuring" is occurring, just don't call it "default" though because that might sound bad and we can't handle that because it would mean that something might have to be done about the criminality of the way the central bankers are acting.
Turning back to the U.S., let's talk about the long term market situation. While the hot money printing, HFT, and market manipulation has propelled equities to new fluff heights, there is a long term glaring non-confirmation now in place. That was set up when the Transports closed last week at a new all-time closing high, but the Industrials are still more than 1,450 points away from its new all-time high:
Yes, they can simply gun the Industrials higher to erase that situation, but I want you to consider that the current crop of POMO money is about to run out – and they are talking somewhat hawkish about QE3. As you buy a rising market to buy it still higher, the cost to do so gets progressively more expensive - this means that each injection to maintain that trajectory must get larger. If they delay QE3, then the market will likely stumble and this stumble may occur prior to this confirmation. Big non-confirmations like this are often seen at major tops, so this is one to watch over the next few weeks and months.
Since we're looking back to the 2007 peaks, I just want to point out the XLF… it STILL has failed to break even a 38.2% retrace making it STILL the worst performing sector of them all. All those trillions, all the taking off their balance sheets of toxic waste, all that mark-to-fantasy accounting, all those perfect HFT trading rob you blind quarters… all of that, and yet they still are hugely divergent from the rest of the market:
So, the storyline goes that we're supposed to believe, and not even question, an obviously tampered birth certificate, an obviously fabricated Bin Laden storyline, and a stock market built upon money printing and manipulation where the Financials trail far behind, and where our economy still is not producing positive jobs (but the storyline says it is), where housing is still in the gutter, and where oil prices rise (and fall) wildly despite record high inventories and falling demand. Sorry, but I have to ask, "Where's the beef?"

I have phone numbers to call, Ive got them tagged on my wall.
In my meetings, And I will continue to Go because God orders it and I have to share; Im a dissociative interacting scared through the day. In the meetings I might be able to reach out to one person and thats it! More then one person and I shut down!
Lots of vets at these meetings, making them extremely strong meetings!
I have people on the outside to help! and I need the help for everything! That is because Im normal! Well, or because Im not normal! Im OCD on everything! I have problems..
I talked with a women that has helped me from the beginning! it was nice to know Im still cared about!
ITs so hard to accept that I am on social security for the remainder of my life... Its hard to talk about , However, I talk about it at meetings, Im a man, its very hard to talk about!
I have a dissociative Disorder and cannot respond regardless of the symptom levels.
I need to clean my apartment!
I talk about most things at meetings in front of people. Housing authority, payee, Social security! all of it! At some point I will talk more about getting well from my condition, yet having to stay on social security! How I cannot compete for work, and my symptoms would take me over with the slittiest pressures... I will tell people what they don't want to here, that the US government does not want you going on and off its social security programs.. it was never made for that. You were found disabled by a judge because you proved you could not work the several jobs you already had. Its assumed your done in the work world, regardless of how you feel about it!
I get judged. I look like an intelligent middle class guy! I do not look like I fit the food-stamp mold. I do not sound like I fit the mold when Im talking! I am not from the middle class, I am from the psychiatric class.
Ive learned that for my survival, honesty is the best policy! The truth is good enough! Status can wait outside the door!
As I was talking at the noon meeting, one of the girls that liked me started to turn and look at me while I was talking, she was 7 feet in front of me sitting at a table. I saw a very weird horrible thing.
We had a spiritual connection. She really liked me! However, she brought another man into the picture before I could ask her out! I waited to interact with her! As I was sharing I mentioned that I do not put up with deception from people! She has heard this before...
As she turned and looked at me, I could see the longing in her eyes for me, and I could see the tortured stretching of her skin along the eye lines, as if she was guilty. Guilty but refusing to give up her boy friend. Because of this, I will never talk to her again! She was lucky to get a stare out of me! Our eyes did meet! and I saw what I saw! it was horrible. She knows what she did! and its written all over her face! Yet, she does not care that she is doing wrong, she will continue to do so regardless of what it did to me! However, something backfired! She got involved with me! that is what backfired. I do not think she is used to someone pulling away from her. I pulled away out of disgust and never came back! Ive ignored her for 3 months within the same rooms everyday! As much as she liked me! She likes being 2 faced more! She made her life style choice and will not be interacting with me again! Its not my business, she is not my business, and her pain is not my business. She will be learning this the hard way! and that is none of my business. I will never see her again! even tho she is in the same rooms with me! I ignore her and will for the remainder of my life. She is a virtual stranger; she brought this on herself! she came in, and she was kicked out the same day! and she will not be returning; Ever! I will not tolerate deception from people; I put up with torture and rape from people like this! I will not put up with anymore of it from anyone!
A realtor friend of mine gave me the statistics for my area.. Women from age 30 to 55: 8500 single women in the area, all waiting for me to cool there lonely codependency problems at the coffee shop. Should be interesting!
I have the opportunity in this small town to come back to my original self and goals; to create and participate in relationships with nice people. To play in the snow, to have Christmas and Thanks giving, and to watch Charlie Brown specials on TV... I believe it will be possible I think to be me again I think! God is allowing this and watching this. A great horror occurred over my life, someone tried to destroy much like the Nazis tried to destroy the jews; and I was almost killed. It didn't work, I came back! or am coming back slowly!
I know who I am and what happened to me! I believe a good blue print story line can be created from the day I was born until now! I can write out my personal historical landmarks from the beginning of my life!
I fear for those who are not so lucky as I! They will hang themselves.... To bad! especially the young, as they are alone when they die with there eyes open!
May God take care of them!

New Transformers set pics show a Decepticon rampage. There's a high-res Resident Evil trailer. The Hobbit may have found its director. A scary Buffy rumor is debunked. Plus Doctor Who, Fright Night, Walking Dead, Alphas, The Event and True Blood!
Transformers 3:
Remember that set picture/report we had a while back showing a building that had been built so it could be tilted and flipped on its side? New set photos show it in action — a Decepticon attacks Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whitley, Tyrese Gibson and some soldiers, and tips over a building. Here are some pics and a video. More pics at the first link.

The Hobbit:
Rumor has it Neill Blomkamp has already been hired to replace Guillermo Del Toro as director of this two-part film. Nothing official yet, though. [The One Ring]
Resident Evil: Afterlife:
Here's that scary new trailer in HD.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer:
In case you forgot, there's still talk of remaking the 1992 movie without Joss Whedon or the television castmembers. Now there's been a chain of rumors, which are already shot down. Vanessa Hudgens was supposedly offered a part in this film, but turned it down — and one version of the rumor said that Sarah Michelle Gellar was going to be in the film too, somehow. But apparently, no part of this was ever true. Hudgens was not offered anything, and Gellar is not involved. You can go back to your lives now. [CinemaBlend]
Fright Night:
Some more details about the remake. Charlie (Anton Yelchin) is a nerd who hits a growth spurt and winds up distancing himself from his nerdy friend Evil Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) so he can date the super-popular girl Amy (Imogen Poots). Because Charlie is now a jock. Just run with it. But Evil Ed, who's a horror nerd, realizes that Charlie's next-door neighbor (Colin Farrell) may be a vampire. Evil Ed describes the vampire neighbor as the shark from Jaws. And David Tennant's character, horror host Peter Vincent, has a smaller role than in the original film but it could still allow Tennant to do some cool stuff if the director follows the script's suggestions. This film comes out Oct. 7, 2011. [Slashfilm]
Iron Sky:
It's not exactly a spoiler, but it's sort of interesting. This Nazis-on-the-Moon film is now officially an Australian/German/Finnish co-production. Most of the location work will happen in Frankfurt, but the studio filming will all be at Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast, and there may be a couple of location days in Australia as well. And please let me know if this paragraph makes any sense to you:
For us, it is an official German/Australian co-production. It will also be an official German/Finnish co-production under the European convention. As such, Australia considers the Finnish elements to be German.

Original comic creator Robert Kirkman says of the cast:
It's interesting because they're not characters that I'm writing very much any more. I'm working on the book every month, but most of the people on the show are dead in the comic. Spoiler alert! [Laughs] I'm walking around set thinking to myself, "Yeah, I killed that guy. Yup, killed her. Probably gonna kill him next issue!" So it's a different experience, and there are a lot of cool twists that are going to make the show entertaining for people who have read the comic.
And he says that he blew through stuff really fast in the comic that the TV show is dwelling on more. [AMCTV]
