Shows to maximize trade opportunities for international buyers sourcing hot fashion products
HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Sources' (NASDAQ: GSOL) fall 2013 fashion shows opened today at Hong Kong's AsiaWorld-Expo. As Asia's leading trade shows dedicated to fashion-related products, the four co-located events are China Sourcing Fairs: Fashion Accessories, Garments & Textiles, Underwear & Swimwear and India Sourcing Fair: Garments & Accessories and run until Oct. 30.

"The China Sourcing Fairs fashion series are Asia's premier one-stop sourcing platform for fashion products and the majority of exhibitors are direct manufacturers," said Tommy Wong, President of Global Sources Exhibitions. "Offering head-to-toe items for all seasons, the shows this fall feature Asia's leading pavilions for scarves, and sweaters and knitwear," he added.
Reflecting a 13.4 percent annual increase in exports of clothing and accessories from China in the first half of 2013, this year's shows have seen booth numbers increase to 1,300 with the belts and footwear pavilion increasing in size by 20 percent while the underwear pavilion has seen a 19 percent increase in size.
Wong said, "With the value of the global apparel and accessories retail market expected to reach an estimated US$1.36 trillion in 2017, it is no surprise that buyers from some of the world's leading fashion brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Bestseller, Bossini, Cotton On, Diesel, El Corte Ingles, Folli Follie, Gap, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren and Swarovski have pre-registered to attend to look for next season's hot sell items.
"The global apparel and accessories retail market is in healthy shape and is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4 percent by 2017. Our Fairs give international buyers and quality exhibitors in the industry an ideal platform to meet, trade and benefit from this booming market."
On-site services extend buyer and supplier benefits
To help buyers and exhibitors meet and do business more effectively, Global Sources is organizing a series of special on-site activities at the Fairs. These include:

"It's safe to say a large part of the [X775's] battery life comes from Nvidia's Optimus technology which automatically detects when the notebook isn't playing games or running graphics-intense applications and switches to the Intel integrated graphics to conserve battery life."
"The Just Cause 2 benchmark shows that this test is no match for the G74SX-A1 and its GeForce GTX 560M, as the notebook easily posted playable frame rates at all resolutions tested, even at 1920X1080 native res for its LCD."
"[The MSI GT683R's] GeForce GTX 560M GPU delivered very playable frame rates, even with the eye candy dialed up. On our Just Cause 2 real-world gaming benchmark, it gave us 40.4 frames per second (fps) at 1,366x768 resolution, and 29.4fps at its native resolution of 1,920x1,080, both of which show that the GT683R can handle this demanding game without stutter or noticeable lag. Its Far Cry 2 scores were even better; it turned in 43.9fps on the DirectX 9 test and 59fps on the more demanding DirectX 10 test, both of which were run at a resolution of 1,920x1,080."

If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12yrs hard labor. If you do that in Afghanistan, you get shot. In Iran Americans get 8yrs…but if you come here to the U.S. you get a job, driver's license, food stamps, housing preferences, health care, child benefits, an education, and tax free business income for 7yrs…no wonder terrorists love U.S. so much. We make it too easy to kill us here!
Wonder how this will play out for the immigration bill now?
Amazing, all you have to do is purchase a few pressure cookers...place them about town in various places, and you can shut a whole city down now!

Tenacious1 (Doug),
First there is a big Market differences between SGA and HPA.
HPA is more of a specialty market (and niche market) were suppliers have to tailor production to very specific needs. The margins are very high but the market size is much more limited than the sga market. With a production of 10 tpd (or 2 HPA plant ) ORT need to capture about 15 % of the total worldwide HPA market (and many customers are state owned by China).
The SGA market is a commodity market and it's size is huge. With 10 SGA plants, ORT is targeting to supply only half the Alumina needs of the Quebec based Aluminum plants. Selling price might be only $325/t, but ORT will have a production direct cost around $210 (possibly 20 % better) and all the by-products for free. With reduced transportation costs for the customers, ORT have strong competitive advantages in this "main stream" market.
Second, yes on a strategic and financial basis ORT don't need to have any JV's to develop the HPA market. ORT should have enough cash to build a second HPA plant (or double the size of Cap Chat plant) during 2013 ...

Heard of Craig's list before but have you heard of -- live this online site hosts thousands of reports of reviews for local service companies like plumbers mechanics and of course doctors.
Joining us now from Indianapolis to tell us more is the gutsy founder of and -- list Andy heck can't you -- -- about fitness.
Thanks for having me on the shell was -- -- say to comply backing Cragg era pentagon Craigslist but -- -- haven't heard of and his list tell us how it works as a membership fee but what can you really offer people.
-- latest plus -- -- views on all types of local service anything you really go to the phone book for -- be home improvement contractors pet care providers.
Even health care providers and we -- an operating business now for fourteen years actress started.
In the offline world and it -- -- really focuses on the integrity of those reviews.
And really -- upon the experience as people look for when they're asking their friends and neighbors.
For recommendations for different service providers.
So since you do we have membership fees Angie you have to provide some -- the freebie -- don't offer what is it.
Full real difference it didn't listen they quality information is on the list for example we don't allow anonymous reporting which I'm a big advocate that the Internet should.
Shouldn't impose accountability to people we shouldn't be able to go out and say just what ever we want to say you have no accountability -- -- -- that factor companies don't pay to be on the list so it's all based on the consumer feedback and we monitor.
The reviews -- -- that you companies are reporting on themselves so what the consumers are getting is good reliable information and you -- find the people.
Have cut back on their memberships because of the economy you know people are looking to cut back on cable of their computer service a broad band anywhere they possibly can help your business holding up.
It's doing really well actually people are are sticking around an organization nice revenue growth this year and I think part of it is because the -- -- folks does not only on.
Improvements that you might want to do but also the rate payers a lot of people are turning to really stretch their dollars.
Do we care -- repair the refrigerator repair their car things like that.
First of buying news so that really just reinforces that the service is needed even in a downturn in the economy.
Now since people are paying out there are ponying up -- money for this thing I guess it advertiser it.
Advertisers -- interest in getting yen because they realize that these people really watch intently is to what's going on the list to tell us about your ad sales.
Well it's it's an out of the way we -- advertising -- companies who are -- or B rated.
And and it ended in order to do so they have to offer a discount to the members as well so those are really good way for consumers to when I get a discount and -- usually get their money back on their membership.
How do you plan to really expand -- what's next what can you possibly offer people that you don't already.
Well that's what adding new categories every day -- -- the medical expansion that we did about a year ago is really a big vertical expansion -- -- continually adding.
New services and plan to do so and adding new markets recover.
-- the top 200 US markets at this point and will continue to expand there as well so.
You know so this this -- for finding quality service still seems a very strong and consumers are looking for a so we're trying to meet that demand going public.
'cause I'm -- let go they let their guns on the line.

12:30-?? Optional Lunch (Location TBD) - Beyond the Aphorisms: All Leadership is Not Created Equal (Leadership Day) There are a lot of sayings about leadership … some are true, some are not, and many are situational. In this talk, we will take a look at leadership from a number of perspectives and approaches.
- Mentoring the Mindful Way (Leadership Day) The term "mindful" conveys reference to awareness, meditation, and careful thought. For some of us, these have been our core guiding principles. For others, we struggle to find ways to slow down and meditate on the work that we do, and the future of the industry. As we commit to mentoring the next generation of leaders, we have the opportunity to explore mindfulness in our professional lives, to share a more focused awareness of core leadership values, and to reaffirm our commitment to making significant contributions in our lifetimes. This session will explore the core concepts of mindf
- Leveraging an Industry Council to Enhance Your Organization's Value (Leadership Day) Every organization that is run by volunteers can attest to how tough it can be to try to keep up with all the industry trends. During this session we explore the ideas of an Industry Council and what it can bring to the table. We review ideas related to developing such a group, what to ask for from others, how to approach them, and what they can contribute that you don't see from your membership or elected board and council. Use what you learn to help build your community, provide leaders further guidance, and develop longer term vision without sacrificing independence of your leadership
- Solutions Discussion (Leadership Day) Pose your questions about situations you're facing as leaders and hear the solutions our panel suggests.
- Get Your Head Out of the Clouds! (Leadership Day) A practical application of rhetoric for focusing leaders who just want to get 'er done! If you're an ideas person and want to influence others, consider a practical application of good old fashioned rhetoric to get buy-in. Come to this session with an idea or a problem you want to solve and we will investigate simple models you can use to refine your idea. Then, we will dissect a targeted interview portfolio to identify practical applications of rhetoric that you can apply to your pitch, whether it's a written proposal, presentation, or an agenda.
- Leading in Context (Leadership Day) Every leader wants to effect change. But what change is possible? What change is appropriate? Given limited resources, how can we intelligently focus our efforts? What's possible is largely governed by the context in which we operate - the context of society, the economy, changes in technology, and trends in our profession. Together we will consider our context, and learn how to use that knowledge to guide and focus our efforts as leaders.

RE: [opensuse] backup
- From: "James George" <jgeorge@xxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:56:35 -0400
Whatever you do, stay the heck away from the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11
harddrives, no matter if they are 500gb, 1TB, 1.5TB, etc.
I learned an expensive lesson in impatience. I've always preached to go
with Western Digital and to keep a good backup. However, there I was,
in Best Buy on a payday, and they happened to be out of WD, so
impatiently I bought a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB HD for $149.
I took it home, dumped ALL of my archives onto the drive (years of baby
pics, documents, movies, music, etc...EVERYTHING), and then began
building a file/backup server on a second computer, to serve as a backup
server on all computers in the house. Of course, I didn't rush to do
Not even two weeks later, the new drive started clicking every couple
seconds...so I frantically rushed to finish the backup server...
Needless to say, I was too late - I started receiving S.M.A.R.T. errors
on the drive, and when I attempted to copy files off of it, it would
just hang the system.
I sent the drive off to a data recovery center and they want $834, plus
the cost of a new drive, plus tax.
The moral of the story is three-fold - 1) be patient and be rewarded; 2)
BACK UP YOUR JUNK! and 3) NEVER BUY SEAGATE - buy Western Digital!

Fall camp for football players is a grind. The long days and long hours of workouts, meetings, and practices all seem to run together eventually for the players and the structure and setting can get old. On Friday, the Lumberjacks were scheduled to have a double day practice, their fifth of the camp. Before the morning practice Coach Souers called an 'emergency' team meeting in the locker room. Everyone in the locker room was anxious and had no idea what to expect. To see what ensued, watch the video below!
Special Thanks to Starlite Lanes for hosting the NAU Football Team!

Oh no, I just keep on falling (Back to the same old) And where's hope, when misery comes crawling? (Oh my way) With your faith, you'll trigger a landslide (Victory) To kill off this common sense of mine It takes acquired minds, to taste it, to taste it, to taste this wine You can't down it with your eyes
I got a lot to say to you Yeah, I got a lot to say I noticed your eyes are always glued to me Keeping them here And it makes no sense at all They taped over your mouth Scribbled out the truth with their lies You little spies They taped over your mouth
Close your eyes and make believe this is where you want to be Forgetting all the memories, try to forget love cause love's forgotten me Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late pretty soon you won't remember a thing And I'll be distant, as stars reminiscing Your heart's been wasted on me Ohhhhh ohh ah oh oh oh oh You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you My little decoy
I'm sitting in a room, Made up of only big white walls and in the hall There are people looking through The window in the door they know exactly what we're here for Don't look up Just let them think There's no place else You'd rather be.
Just talk yourself up... And tear yourself down. You've hit your one wall... Now find a way around. Well, what's the problem? You've got a lot of nerve! So what did you think I would say? No, you can't run away, no you can't run away. So what'd you think I would say?
What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things A memory remains just a tiny spark I give it all my oxygen, So let the flames begin So let the flames begin Oh, glory Oh, glory This is how we'll dance when When they try to take us down
Maybe if my heart stops beating It won't hurt this much And never will I have to answer again to anyone... Please don't get me wrong... Because I'll never let this go, But I can't find the words to tell you I don't wanna be alone,
I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive So I'm going to start over tonight Beginning with you and I When this memory fades I'm gonna make sure it's replaced With chances taken Hope embraced And I have I told you I'm not going
I'm in the business of misery, Let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an hourglass it's ticking like a clock. It's a matter of time before we all run out, When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth. I waited eight long months, She finally set him free. I told him I can't lie he was the only one for me. Two weeks and we caught on fire,
You say the sweetest things and I Can't keep my heart from singing along to the sound of your song My stupid feet keep moving to this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you) (Someone stop this) I've gone too far to come back from here, but you don't have a clue You don't know what you do to me Won't someone stop this song, so I won't sing along
No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore. It's your turn, to take a seat while we're settling the final score. And why do we like to hurt, so much? I can't decide You have made it harder just to go on And why? All the possibilities... Well I was wrong
I climb, I slip, I fall Reaching for your hands But I lay here all alone Sweating all your blood If I could find out how To make you listen now Because I'm starving for you here With my undying love and I ... I will
I am outside And I've been waiting for the sun And with my wide eyes I've seen worlds that don't belong My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize Tell me why we live like this Keep me safe inside Your arms like towers Tower over me
And when it rains, On this side of town it touches, everything. Just say it again and mean it. We don't miss a thing. You made yourself a bed At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole) And convinced yourself that It's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore And oh, oh, how could you do it?

Anonymous asked: making your writing free doesn't magically make it worth our time
I assume this anon message was prompted by my little Amazon gambit, which is just a small sideline right now compared to my main money maker, which is a story I give away completely for free. (The mind boggles, does it not? And yet it's a successful business model for independent web comic artists all over the web.)
You probably haven't followed my writing career much, but when I set out I was very clear: I don't write for everyone. And by that I don't mean I write for myself and no one else, because if I did I wouldn't be bothering to try to sell it, would I?
I write for myself, and anyone who wants to read the things that I like to write.
It's a niche market, to be sure, but this is the secret of making it: it's easier to tap the demand in a niche market than it is to try to compete with everyone else who's fishing in the mainstream.
To people who don't want to read my stuff… eh. That's not an insult to me, anymore than it's an insult to them for me to say it's not meant for them.
To people who do… well, here's the thing. When you write stuff that's not like most of the stuff on the market, you'll find people who have been looking for it and not finding it all of their lives. And these people are some of the most loyal readers and some of the best customers anyone could ask for.
I've been giving the vast majority of my writing away for free for a decade now, and I've been making my living doing that for six years. It's a modest living, but most authors… even card carrying professional authors… never accomplish that much.
I understand my approach is unorthodox. The conventional wisdom says I'm supposed to care if you, J. Random Internetperson, want to read my stories. I'm supposed to court you. I'm supposed to chase after you.
But I don't do that. I put my stuff out there for the people who want it. The people who don't? Well, most of them are a bit more clever than you. If they decide it's not worth their time—and after all, they're better at determining that than I am—they don't, as you have done, waste their time and energy telling me so.
It was worth my time to answer this because I never get tired of talking about my business model or my writing philosophy. Was it worth your time to ask?

In January 2003, the nation commemorates the bicentennial of Lewis and Clark's historic journey across America. Backed by a hearty crew of fellow explorers and supported by invaluable guidance from Native Americans -- including a Shoshone Lemhi woman named Sacajawea -- the duo traveled the Missouri and Snake Rivers from St. Louis, Missouri to the Columbia River Basin and the Pacific Ocean. They mapped the region and collected plant and animal species along the way. The Sierra Club joins other organizations and individuals in the bicentennial commemoration by premiering a film narrated by actress Sissy Spacek, presenting the explorers' journals online, hosting a reception with speeches and a panel discussion at the Monticello gala, and much more. Choose an activity below to learn more about the journey, find out what the Sierra Club is doing in the region Lewis and Clark explored, and find out what you can do to preserve their legacy.

QGraphicsView unprecise painting with raster engine
I have a QGraphicsView with multiple QGraphicsItems. The items draw a QPixmap into the boundingRect of the item and a black line on the border of the boundingRect. If I use the opengl painting engine the border is exactly where the image is painted. With raster engine there is (depending on the size of the graphics item) space between the drawn border and the drawn image. It looks like the sizes are calculated as integers and not as floats. Is there an option to set or a workaround for this painting errors ?
9 replies
I'am zooming the viewport and the drawn rect should be drawn everytime with the same width in every zoom level. This item can be moved and resized, the inaccurate painting is only done in some zoom – size relations.
- // draw the pixmap
- painter->drawPixmap(dataItem()->rect(), pixmap)
- // reset the transformation
- painter->resetTransform();
- // get the rect to draw without transformation
- painter->drawPolygon(selectedPolygon);
- // draw some other untransformed stuff
- ...
I thought it is some kind of rounding problem, but with opengl it is exactly this code and it works.
This is how it looks

Breastfeeding is not political for me. It's not a statement. It's not a battle that I'm fighting in the mythic mommy wars. I don't even have to tell myself it will cure cancer and make my baby brilliant. I just do it because Eden needs to eat and I need to feed her.
I quickly chose my fabrics, knowing full well that I had little time to meander as life with a newborn baby has me on the tight milk leash. I headed to the fabric table, which I will subsequently refer to as the 'hellmouth.'
UP-SET [Fr. upset + up or awake]: Feeling of profound disappointment that a parent has when a baby wakes up much earlier than usual from his nap.
Socially and politically, breastfeeding seems to be having a big moment in this country. Unlike the birth process, which happens quickly and is hidden from public view, decisions around breastfeeding follow mothers for several years and become unavoidably public.
That moment in the morning, when Mike and Mazzy are both still sleeping and Harlow and I are tethered together in a way that only a mother and child can be... That moment is mine. Ours. For now.
I have gotten as far as taking the breast pump out of storage, but I cannot seem to make myself use it. It just seems like too much effort with not enough payoff, although some of my friends have expressed annoyance that I cannot be more flexible.
The shame meted out on women and the harsh public criticism leveled on moms over openly breastfeeding makes no sense -- especially when there are so many other disgusting things we, as humans, allow other humans to do unchecked, unpoliced and unpunished.
Breastfeeding isn't just good for babies; it boasts many health advantages for moms, too. One benefit, especially noteworthy during October for Breastfeeding Awareness Month, is the reduced risk of breast cancer in breastfeeding moms.
New research out today confirms that buying breast milk on the Internet via milk-sharing sites may not be safe. Not surprising, I suppose. And although breast milk purchased from online sites may be free or as cheap as $1 an ounce, it may carry significant risk for babies.
Given that we don't have the equipment to breastfeed, we considered our options and saw donated milk as the best path. Having turned out just fine we had no strong aversion to formula -- it seemed though, that if possible to feed our little human babies human milk, that made more sense than processed milk from a cow.
Everyone has an opinion on your parenting methods. The advice comes at us from medical professionals, friends, family and even strangers on the street. We are exposed more than ever before to more information, but also more evaluation and more judgment
They are a natural part of your body, no big deal, something to hide, something to be ashamed of, bought in a doctor's office, something to flaunt, a prize, part of a show for entertainment, something to change, something that produces milk, an industry. They are an enigma.
Breastfeeding can be challenging enough as it is for many moms, so when you introduce the return to work and the need to pump milk, it can be daunting.
Back then I could barely whisper my breastfeeding concerns. In those first months I was often isolated. Frustrated. Lost. I'm sure plenty of other mothers struggled as well but I wasn't comfortable or confident enough to talk about it.
The only thing I regret is not having given more thought to the surgeon's warning that as a result of the surgery, I may lose my ability to breastfeed. I was 18. Childrearing seemed decades away. They'll be able to fix that by then, I thought.
The children of this country are our responsibility. How can we encourage other parents to feed their children with love if they don't have anything to feed them?
What would you do if you could give your child something that is proven to boost her creativity, empathy and cognitive functions, while putting her on a path to increased academic and career success? You'd jump all over it, right?

Hi Janet,
Is his vent empty? Could there be something pressing on a nerve? I think that there is a chance of recovery, or partial recovery at least. At least he has some function in his legs. I have seen worse...but that is an awful, uncaring place. My booklet on homeopathy has a section on paralysis. I will copy it for you. If he needs a permanent home he can come here. Have a look at Maria's (taralotti) thread, yours and hers could be company for each other. Cynthia
...while all the time your dear full-throated pigeons will be heard, and the turtledove high in the elm will never bring her cooing to an end. (Virgil) |
Hi Cynthia,
I'll have a good look over him tomorrow and check out his vent. Thanks for the tip. I'm going to order that book but have been poorly the past few days and haven't been out. If you can copy that relevant bit in the meantime, that would be a great help. I want to use some soap or something to really get this muck off. He'll not have many feathers after but it needs to come off. He is so sweet and just lets me do whatever, probably cause he's so fed up. That place is a disgrace. I did speak to the RSPB a while ago. I called pretending to need a place to take a rescued bird. They gave me their number. I said that I was horrified that they were recommending people to it and proceeded to tell them what it was like in the hope they would stop using it. Unfortunately the local vet sends birds there aswell, so it's difficult to stop birds coming in. You know what was doubly disgusting, there were six members of staff messing about cooking bread over the flames, and none of the birds had any food. You can see why I have to keep going. There were still three more injured Woodies left behind. (sorry about the rant). I did think as I was reading that thread about March how alike their problems seemed. That's why I thought there might be something I could try. I'm in awe of the way Maria has helped him, March is a very lucky bird. What about that aviary, March could have lots of friends!! Janet |
Hi Janet,
Have you got any hibiscrub? Yes, that aviary is beautiful. I wish Maria was staying in the UK. Cynthia
...while all the time your dear full-throated pigeons will be heard, and the turtledove high in the elm will never bring her cooing to an end. (Virgil) |
Yes I have Hibiscrub, would that be better than soap? I did put in my last post that we'd have to talk Maria out of moving, then I deleted it in case she thought I only wanted her for her aviary !!! Janet |
...while all the time your dear full-throated pigeons will be heard, and the turtledove high in the elm will never bring her cooing to an end. (Virgil) |
Bless you for taking this poor woody home with you! How awful to read that he, and other birds are not being cared for properly. I was particularly saddened about the comment regarding the bird being 'fit for the bonfire'. How can people like that who obviously show no compassion for wildlife, work in such an environment?! Thank goodness for people like you who really do care! Thank you!
Sending my thoughts and prayers that this woody recovers soon. Lindi |
Lindi Thank You.
Hi, Well he had a good bath and got most of the mess away. Unfortunately he has very bad smelling poops, brown but not a lot of white and slightly soft. Should I give him any meds straight away or wait and see if they improve. I've given him ACV in his water and tomorrow will give him Potent Brew. I held his underside gently in a bowl of soapy water to help the poop dissolve and he did a very good job of kicking his legs. So he can move them, but soon withdraws them when I put him down. The claw on the back toe of his bad leg is loose I think. I moved the toe to see if it would straighten. It did but it sort of clicks as I move it, so I wondered if it was broken in some way. I can move the claw which I can't on the other toes. He curls it up again. I was wondering about putting a small straw or such like, cut to size on it as a splint to keep it straight and see if it would rectify itself. I don't want to hurt him though if it's a permanent injury. Janet |
Hi Janet,
I would use the Potent Brew first. I decided to try probiotics before antibiotics in cases of diarrhoea early this year and it worked. Then when I was reading the literature at the vet's office I found out that this is also their approach. Cynthia
...while all the time your dear full-throated pigeons will be heard, and the turtledove high in the elm will never bring her cooing to an end. (Virgil) |
In 2005 I rescued a female pigeon, Splitbeak, who had a golf ball-sized clump of rock hard poop (from accumulated layers of diarrhea) stuck to her keel. She had previous bouts of diarrhea because of her split beak. Left half of upper beak dangled from a piece of flesh; right upper beak was mostly gone; but she could pick up food by laying her head sideways to the ground. She had trouble walking because of her legs bumping against the poop, couldn't get seeds or food fast enough, and was getting weaker when I finally caught her. Spent a half hour to an hour in the shower with her to get the poop off. She struggled mightily to escape; didn't want to drown or choke. After she put on weight for a week or so and regaining her health, she chose to fly out the window to join her flock. She was very restless indoors, once she felt healthy. I rendezvoused with her to secretly let her feed from a jar of seeds, until the day came when I no longer saw her. She had an extra four or five months of living an almost normal street life. A few days before her disappearance she actually joined the flock for a few minutes in their flight when a raptor came by, instead of her usual hunching down under tree cover and dashing to nearby safety. She was part of her flock again. I have written a number of posts about her, but what i want to share is that from her I also learned that a pigeon can make an amazing recovery from a disabling situation, and enjoy life. Don't give up! Wishing you and your rescues the best. Don't know what to say about that "sanctuary" which would add much to what you and others think of it. Maybe they should change the name to "hell hole" or "dead-end trap for the helpless." "Sanctuary" used to refer to a holy place, a place one could use as a refuge or place of safety. Words get misused and abused, and lose their proper original meanings. How people treat animals is indicates how they will eventually treat other humans, and themselves. Abusing animals destroys one's ability to love, and one's awareness that such a thing is happening. Well, enough of my opinions. Larry

Thanks Cynthia, that's interesting, will do that.
Larry thanks for your thoughts. I absolutely hate going there. I spout off about it enough. Yet it could be such a lovely place, set in a wood, lots of large aviaries with room to fly for the birds of prey. It's the people that make or break it. I pray as I drive down the path that there aren't any new birds before I get there, sadly there usually are. I have ended up calling it the 'sanctuary', but the reason I put apostrophies around the word is to emphasise my disdain for the place. That's a really wonderful story about Splitbeak, that's everything I could wish for any I find, just to see them free as they should be. I've never had one that was able to go free... yet, I still live in hope. But ..if they can never go free, to at least be amongst their own kind, with good food, a clean habitat, and as comfortable as they can be with any disabilities. I wish you the same for your birds too. Janet |
Hi Janet,I hope woodie gets better, I feel so sorry for the poor bird. I do dislike very much haw those people are with the pigeons and their bad jokes are so inappropriate, makes me wander why are they even there.
I am so pleased. I just went to change her bedding, food etc. She was fairly clean as she had stayed put, resting on the towel nest, so must feel a lot better for that. She's also a lot fluffier after her wash and blow wave yesterday. Before I put her back in the carrier I held her up in my hands and she kicked away with her legs. Amazing what little things please you!! Then I put her on the carpet to see how she moved today, and she managed to walk a few steps. It was just like the first time my girls walked, I was so excited. ( I really am getting worse). She did about four steps and then fell forward onto her stomach, and then she got a second wind and pottered right across the room to find a corner to hide in. She looked so funny, just like some small mechanical toys my girls had when they were little, you wind them up and they scoot along. She walks very flat on the back of her legs, not upright, and uses her wings for balance, and has made no attempt to flap her wings at all, but it's a start. Notice I've started calling her 'her', she is so quiet and obliging at the moment for a Woodie, she must be a girl! Apart from the smelly poops that is. Also have given her Potent Brew in her water, syringed her some first so I know she's had some in case she's fussy about the smell. I do hope this is progress. Janet |
Dear Janet
I am pleased to read about the progress of your woodie and I am so happy to see that there are still human beings with a real open heart on this planet.. I know excactly how you feel as my baby March had such a terrible time after this car accident and every day since his accident (8th September) I have been feeling all his emotions. I have been very busy with him so, not much time to follow other threads. Hopefully, he will get even better. As Cynthia suggested I truely believe homeopathy really works on all animals and unlike orthodox medication, there are no side effects but the remedies work alongside the immune system. I also believe probiotics and proper nutrition can restore health and the right PH in the blood. Paster's and modern medical theory of microbes is completely out of date and has contibuted to many early deaths or unwanted side effects. Bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens are everywhere but they can only cause problem when the blood PH is out of balance. In other words, if you try to maintain the right environment in your body, you will never have any problems with any microbes. Microbes are not the bad guys, they are the scavengers of our bodies and are trying to help when toxic load gets too much for our body to get rid off. March is on organic seeds and green vegetables, sprouts and I give him Evian mineral water! As we also eat mostly organic (vegan) food and the cats have only organic freshly cooked vegetarian food and some vegetarian dried food (Ami an Italian manufacturer, imported by Veggiepets), March and Alfie (canary) could not be treated differently. If it has worked for all of us, it must make a difference to March's health. Thanks for your comments about the Aviary. I think March has settled down very well but he is looking forward to moving in the open area. I feel bad to keep him in the cabin all the time but his injured wing gets hurt every time he flaps his wings on the floor (this is the reason I covered the cabin floor with straw). He has caused a wound on the curve of this wing and it bleeds when he hits the floor. Please do not wish me to stay in the UK. I really want to move to New Zealand as my dream is to buy a house in nature with a few acres of land and accommodate lots of animals. Just think how many more animals I will be able to save and help when my dream comes true! I will have an even better aviary there and I can be your contact in New Zealand! As I said, this beautiful aviary will be donated to a GOOD sanctuary, unless Cynthia, who has offered to adopt March, has moved to a new bigger place and finds room for it. Please dear friends pray for this dream. It is for a good reason!! Take Care Maria, March and animal family |

Platonic love in its modern popular sense is an affectionate relationship into which the sexual element does not enter, especially in cases where one might easily assume otherwise.
See also:
A simple example of platonic relationships is a deep, non-sexual friendship between two heterosexual people of the opposite sexes.
At the same time, this interpretation is a misunderstanding of the nature of the Platonic ideal of love, which from its origin was that of a chaste but passionate love, based not on uninterest but virtuous restraint of sexual desire.
For more information about the topic Platonic love, read the full article at Wikipedia.org, or see the following related articles:

Getting any girl into bed is a complex process. Some guys make it look so easy, while others struggle their whole life trying to make it happen. There are a number of factors that can make or break the end result of actually fucking a college girl. Here are some tips to look out for.
You can't Logic a Girl into Bed
This is one of the major problems that guys have with girls. They try and convince them logically to sleep with them. This is rarely possible. Logically, there are hundreds of reasons for a girl to NOT fuck you, and chances are, they will be stronger than any logical reason you can come up with for her TOO fuck you. So what do you do? Focus on getting her attracted to you, comfortable with you, then work on the logistics to get her home with you. You should NEVER talk about having sex. It should always 'just happen'.
Take Small Steps
If you have enough attraction, it is possible to say to a girl you have met in a club or you are on a date with 'let's go home and have sex' but it is truly not a high percentage play. Instead, take small steps. First goal is to get her alone. Not necessarily in your house, but somewhere away from her friends. Try taking her from the club to a restaurant, or for a walk, down to the river. Then ask her if she wants to come and watch a movie at yours. Then lead her into the bedroom later in the night. You should always give her plausible deniability. This is important so the girl doesn't feel like a slut. She may really want to sleep with you, but societies conditioning may hold her back.
Physical Stimulation Overrides All Else
Sometimes, you may have a girl in bed but she starts telling you she doesn't want to sleep with you, she doesn't know you, she doesn't want to seem easy, whatever… It is important to not address these statements because it will switch her into a logical state. If you are feeling resistance, you have to let the girl stay in a fun, pleasurable emotional and physical state. Do this by either ignoring the verbal and focusing on the physical, or acknowledging the verbal and continuing with physical. If a girl says "I don't even know you, we shouldn't be doing this", respond with "I totally agree, this is very naughty" then continue with foreplay.
** Idiot disclaimer – If a girl seriously tells you to stop, you need to stop. That is called rape. Rapists are sick assholes who should be shot. The goal here is to let the girl enjoy her emotional feelings and remove the society ingrained guilt that can result from sexual acts. Not to force yourself on her.

Stolway Holdings is an internationally renowned company which designs, manufactures and delivers industrial air conditioning systems for extreme environments. With specific expertise in the petro-chemical industry, Stolway works with some of the worlds leading exploration and development companies in areas including oil rigs. Stolway first approached Internetrix to redevelop their existing website early last year, and have now upgraded to a new design and taking the opportunity to build their site on Freestyle, the Internetrix Content Management System. Developed and delivered in near-record time, the site is still being populated, with more sections coming online in coming weeks. Feel free to check it out at www.stolway.com.au.
Shellharbour Council - eDA
A key part of a Council's responsibilities to their community is to act as a consenting authority. To provide consent on issues related to developments, constructions and more, Councils accept applications, and assess them against relevant policies, regulations and laws. Internetrix was approached by Shellharbour Council around 12 months ago to undertake a pilot project to develop an online Development Application form, which would take an application online. Following this initial scoping, Internetrix has delivered the eDA, an entire online application submission and tracking system, based on the Gravity product, which went live with a group of customers this month. Progressively being rolled out, firstly through high volume users, and eventually to the community level, the eDA is an exciting step forward for e-government. You will soon be able to view an interactive demonstration of the eDA in action on our website.
Bio Medical Logo Development
Bio Medical Holdings, a success story in the innovation and distribution of leading safety products for the health industry, is expanding into the global market. As part of this process, they are re-branding to become BMDI, or Bio Medical Distribution International. Robert Archer, a valued client for a number of years, approached Internetrix to design a new logo and then redevelop his website. The website is currently under development, and the new logo and brand identity is being used around the world in the BMDI production facilities. Stay tuned next month to see the new site live in action.

In our August newsletter, we discussed the need for websites to strive for higher levels of online intimacy to realize their potential. Online intimacy is all about you getting to know your customer, and vice versa, using your website or other online tools.
One of the biggest challenges to be overcome with any website or electronic communications tool is to arouse a response from the anonymous users who visit your site. How many of us would consider visiting a store, hanging around for 15 minutes, and walking out without even being acknowledged by a staff member as good service?
If your website does not encourage online intimacy, then that is the kind of store you are running.
Increasing your levels of online intimacy is a lot harder than building a relationship in an offline, face to face world. Online, people are used to being anonymous, and the strange times of day and night that they surf your website, not to mention the technical challenges, often makes real-time support difficult to achieve (although we will show you how to make that happen in later months). However, we believe, just because it is harder does not mean you shouldn't try.
A good example of a tool designed to boost online intimacy is the small helper on the right of any page on our website. This helper is in place to do two things: firstly, he is a simple way for people to provide us with feedback, and secondly, he can get rankings of our pages, should people wish to provide us with feedback and commentary of that nature.
By using some old fashioned smarts with some clever technology, we can also make him interact with the user. For example, our online helper knows how many pages you have been to on the website, and if you have spent more than a certain amount of time clicking around (and thus seem to be someone interested in what you are reading, as opposed to someone who is just browsing quickly through), he will wake up and talk to you, asking if you would like some help or have some feedback to give.
The benefit of this kind of approach is that we are avoiding those annoying pop-up boxes that are so common in websites today - how often do you go to a website, and, having been there for a whole 10 seconds, get asked to do one of those surveys? What kind of feedback do you think I can provide you considering the homepage has not even loaded yet? Technically, the helper runs in his own little space, sending comments and feedback without you needing to leave your place or page - quick, easy and convenient.
If you are interested in working to arouse more online intimacy from your website, contact us today. You don't even need to be hosting your site with us, and if you are, then this can be a valuable edition to your regular monthly stats provided as part of your package. To find out more, don't hesitate to contact us today.

If you have had to build or renovate a property in Australia, you will be familiar with the sometimes painful process of getting consent for a Development Application from your local council. This compulsory process often leaves builders, developers and renovators fuming as a result of delays, confusion and miscommunication - but not for long - thanks to our latest major project, the eDA.
Internetrix this month commissioned an electronic Development Application (eDA) for Shellharbour City Council, which will enable people to submit a development application and supporting documentation, all online.
This is one of the first times such a venture has been undertaken in Australia, and represents a breakthrough for online service delivery by local government.
What makes this development a true first is the ability for applicants to not only submit their application - a handful of Councils have achieved this feat - but the ability for applicants to track it right through to conclusion - all online! Now, applicants can track the cause of any hold-ups, and time of the day or night, and because it makes it easier for assessment officers to get clarification electronically, it delivers efficiency gains at the same time as delivering process transparency. Applicants can even enter enquiries as well as answer questions from assessment officers, straight into the system, via the website or via email.
Internetrix are excited to be taking this new product to the Local Government Association 2003 Annual Conference in Albury, 9-12th November. Working closely with Shellharbour Council, we are looking forward to taking this product forward to many other Councils in the coming months. Underpinned by one of our flagship products, Gravity, the eDA is an exciting example of using the internet to make a real difference.
This initiative, coming hot on the heels of the Online Mapping System deployed by Shellharbour Council a couple of months ago, further demonstrates their leadership in online service delivery for the benefit of their residents. Currently being rolled out in a phased approach, watch this space to see more in the future about how you can access this new and innovative system for your needs!

The computing hardware world is an area of Information Technology that follows a constant course skywards - faster processors and bigger storage, more compact features - onwards and upwards at a speed that is truly dazzling to all involved.
As with any new technology, early adopters often pay exorbitant prices and get new and buggy technology that does not offer value for money. DVD burners and the discs themselves have followed that path.
DVD's are well known as the dominant format for watching movies at home. In the last couple of years they have also been available to computing buffs for storing 4.7 gigabytes of data (more than 7 times larger than a CD). For most of us, DVDs have been a read-only format - you buy the disks and just read from them.
To burn data to a DVD requires a DVD burner, which first entered the mainstream market a few years ago, costing thousands of dollars. A mish-mash of standards hampered adoption, and blank DVD discs themselves were available for $30 - about the same price as a movie in a store.
Now in 2003, the cost of this technology has plummeted, with obvious benefits being passed onto the consumer. DVD Burners are now available for under $500 and the discs have dropped to as low as $2 in some places - the same price as many blank CDs. This change is a boon for movie buffs and the IT industry alike.
The applications for the new and affordable format are both predictable and innovative.
Of course there are many movie fans taking advantage of the format to back-up their collections (keeping originals pristine and safe and scratching their cheaper copies in regular use), but there are also a whole range of people realizing the benefits of this format for backing up their data systems. Considering many people have email inboxes containing thousands of emails filling more than a couple of gigs, this kind of technology is removing the excuse many back-up slobs have that it is too expensive and inconvenient to use tape drives and tapes (the only way to back up files larger than a CD up to now).
If you want to know more, contact your trusted computer supplier, or check out online stores like Harris Technology ( www.ht.com.au ) to see what kinds of deals you can get.

Did you know that the internet went commercial almost 10 years ago now? While the 'internet' as a technology has been around since the late 60's, it wasn't until 1993 that the first graphical web browser, Mosaic, was released, resulting in a 341,634% increase in WWW traffic!
In these last 10 years, the internet has made a major impact onto a number of industries, and the biggest 'losers' who have been adversely effected by the world going online would have to be the music recording industry.
CD Sales have dropped in the last few years by more than 25%, and names like Napster and Kazza have become well known to many people online as a great way to get popular music on demand. Record companies were (and still are) very slow on the uptake of this new medium for distribution, and they are clinging tooth and nail to the physical package that digital music is distributed in – a CD. To keep consumers purchasing music through the only currently legal medium, a CD from a retailer, they are attempting to do a Taliban and turn back time by shutting down new online services through legal action.
So far, success has mostly been on the side of the record companies. Napster, one of the most phenomenal success stories in the internet world was shut down by the courts. In it's footsteps, a range of new peer-to-peer networks have sprung up, essentially removing the central directory of music that made Napster so vulnerable – now the users are the network, and there isn't a central controlling authority for record companies to sue.
So, the latest play in the battle over online music piracy – one can't loose sight of the fact that accessing music without paying for it is piracy and theft, no matter how you cut it – is targeting the user, and this means you could be at risk.
In Australia, authorities have been fairly successful in pursing online pirates, and have done it in a way most people would applaud. By targeting people running large websites of MP3 downloads, often drawing some income from the advertising associated with the massive traffic these sites bring, Australian authorities have been going after the criminals, and leaving the enthusiasts alone. That was until the last day in May, when Federal Police raided the offices of UTS.
Now in the US, things are getting interesting, with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (which erodes more civil liberties in the US than the most draconian security legislation) as their weapon, suing individuals sharing music at home. After forcing Internet Service Providers to reveal the names and addresses of subscribers accused of sharing copyrighted works, the RIAA has filed 261 suits against individuals out of the estimated 60 million Americans sharing music online. This list includes, among others, a single mother from the Bronx, and US Federal Copyright Law provides for damages from $1100 more than $200K (AUD). Considering each person being sued was offering more than 1000 songs for download, each suit is likely to be worth millions of dollars.
Where all this goes is anyone's guess. While it is not reasonable or likely that the legal landslide from the RIAA is going to extend across the tens of millions of online file sharers in the US, it is also curious to note the Copyright Laws as they stand in Australia were updated in 2000 to make the transmitting party more responsible for copyright violation (thus bring the laws more into line with the US model).
This means that your computer system, if it is serving up files to be shared, is regarded as breaking Copyright Law, giving all sorts of agencies the ability to pursue you. Currently, they can only track an IP address absolutely, and this IP address is the property of your ISP. They can, however, be compelled by a court to release details about you, thus putting you at risk. And if you run a network or are responsible for your company internet connection (as a director or officer) you may find out that you are the one being pursued for any breaches of the Copyright Law eminating from your network. While the Australian experience does not provide clear precendent for an ISP to hand over your contact details in a Civil matter at this time, the US experience shows that it may only be a matter of time, and it is thus a risk you should be aware of and minimising.
If you have an opinion on this matter, please don't hesitate to contact us using the feedback pane on the right of this site, or get in touch with Internetrix. Stand by in future months as we continue watching this amazing change and its consequences unfold before our eyes.

New Cinematic For TERA Online
With just a matter of weeks until TERA Online's May 1st release date, developers En Masse Entertainment are releasing more information by the day. The latest bit of juicy gossip our way is a new game trailer titled "Beginnings". The trailer is available in-game for those that have pre-ordered TERA Online and are preparing to reserve their character name.
The trailer doesn't really show off anything we haven't seen, it's mainly just a bit of information on the current situation within the game. Even still, every highly anticipated MMORPG Game that's approaching launch needs all the coverage it can get, and we have to say, the graphics alone make the video worth watching.

By Larry Vingelman – Source: www.winning-the-lottery.org
I first met Dr. Gopala at a "Spiritual Regeneration Movement" residence course many years ago. These yoga courses were usually taught over a long weekend and regularly held at Catholic retreat houses around the country. He was a guest lecturer discussing Yogic Siddhis (yogic powers) primarily levitation and invisibility now called remote viewing by educators and the military. I attended all his lectures. He was a favorite among the initiates and spoke with a clear passion for his specialty.
During that weekend, on a wakeful night, I had a chance to speak with Dr. Gopala. It was not unusual for the attendees to be milling around at all hours of the night. The course leaders had us "rounding" (a series of yoga practices involving breathing, stretching and meditation) all day long when not attending a lecture. It seemed like after all the stretching and meditating, we did not need as much sleep as usual. It was just dawn when I sat on an outdoor bench next to Dr. Gopala overlooking a quiet pond located next to the retreat center. It was an odd experience; for coupled with his spiritual presence, the pond itself was teeming with an abundance of life. Mayfly and Caddis were beginning to hatch and trout were beginning their morning feast, their rises more rhythmic then random. The pond, full of predator and prey, seemed to me an entire microcosm of the universe, all calmly transpiring before our eyes. Still, I searched for the courage to speak.
I was nervous at first, the way students are when speaking to a professor, but he had a calming effect on me. We discussed invisibility since that was the last lecture he had given and the Siddhi I was most interested in at the time. He answered all my questions, then said he was somewhat saddened by the way the west was using the Siddhis, which had for thousands of years been secret and mysterious only taught to the highest caste of Brahmins.
He said that the military was using invisibility, which they renamed remote viewing and were using this Siddhi (yogic power) to spy on the other countries. He was less saddened by the fact they were using a Siddhi to spy and more saddened by the way this yogic technique had been studied, quantified, analyzed and taught. He went on to say, in an offhanded way, it would be easier to teach someone about lottery predictions then many of the ancient yoga Siddhis. Of course, all I heard was lottery predictions.
I asked Dr. Gopala what he meant by lottery predictions trying not to sound overly excited. He said, just like he had discussed in his lectures, if getting close to the Source of Thought could bring about remote viewing, then with the properly energized intention and the Matra-vrttas (Devine Proportion or Golden Ratio – a sacred number used in one of the categories of meters in Sanskrit and Prakit poetry around A. D. 1100) we should be able to make reasonable lottery predictions. Actually easier then remote viewing since consciousness didn't need be maintained near the Source of Thought for hours at a time. With a strong, energized and unselfish intention, most people should be able to perform this technique.
How Does Dr. Gopala's Dream Lottery System Work?
What does "internalizing the Symbols" mean when using Dr, Gopala's Dream Lottery System?
Internalizing the Symbols is the easiest of four tasks that must be performed when using Dr. Gopala's new Dream Lottery System. The gist of internalizing is communicating to the Source of Thought the proper dream symbol which would allow you to calculate the winning lottery number. Consequently, it is important to say the word representing the dream symbol under your breath, associate the Mantric symbol with the dream symbol and glance at the Core numbers.

Paul's videos are great! I should point out that although our site domains are similar his site is actually
They use "n" instead of "and:.
We both started our sites about the same time and where totally unaware of each other for about a year or so.

Sure they are good videos and well get you started in building a puppet. A monster puppet is not that much different then a person puppet. It is all in the features you give your puppet. Big teeth, fur, large ears, horns are just a few things you can do to make your puppet a monster.

Like many here, I have built a puppet using a modification of Paul's plan.
However, it would be easier to help you if I knew more about the puppet you were wanting to make and the materials you were planning to use in the build.
Often times if you can't find one thing you can substitute something else or adjust your design to get the job done a different way.

Hi Jordandavey,
Is there a local dollar store where you live? Its a great place to get a whole bunch of crafting supplies that you can use to make puppets. If not, ask around if there are craft related stores. I am sure that there is a store where you live where kids can get crafting supplies. Ask around, you may be suprised.
I hope that this was a little bit of help,
Puppet hug,

It is easier to buy puppets, but I think it would be cheaper to make your own. It depends how skilled you are, what your wanting. You can find many materials on the internet. You can do a search on ebay which will bring up a variety of inexpensive foams and fabrics.

Well the hardware store won't have a sign stating "puppet supplies," but you can find a TON of wonderful things there. Your imagination needs to take over when you are browsing a store like that. I live in my local hardware store on a daily basis. Right now, I am making a horse out of a brush that I found there. I also use pvc pipe fittings for finger tubes. I get my contact cement to build foam puppets in the paint department. What is your list and maybe we can tell you where to get your items.
My online shop has a few choices in plastic eyes and you can also check your local craft store like Michael's or Joann's. I find a lot of wonderful items in Walmart's craft and sewing department as well. Like I said, it is a state of mind that you have to go with when shopping for puppet materials. The imagination is the key ingredient/supply to the art of puppetry. I live and breath puppetry 24 hours a day and my mind never stops thinking about what I can use to create a "living" character. Just a simple ball on the bare hand is something of amazement to me.
Let us know exactly what you are looking for and we can probably all help you find what you need.
Good luck!

Ok but what exactly are you looking for. Here is a list that I think you might need to get you started with a hand-in-mouth puppet:
Pattern (make your own or purchase....one great resource for purchasing is Project Puppet)
Foam (like upholstery foam found in Walmart or craft stores...usually 1 inch deep)
Fleece for "Skin" (found in Walmart, craft/fabric stores)
Glue (hot glue gun found in above stores or you can try your hand with working with contact cement found in the paint department of your local hardware store)
These would be the basic supplies to give you the overall body/shape to your puppet. Then the rest is embellishments and creativity. You can use feathers and feather boas for hair/eyebrows. You can create your own eyeballs with ping pong balls, styrofoam balls, or plastic doll eyes. If there is anything specific that you are looking for, please ask and we will gladly help you.
