Didn't Olympus work with Panasonic on the micro slr format? So why this?
As is noted in a future edition of 'The Encyclopedia Galactica' when the revolution came 'Wes Streeting' was first against the wall.
'If I leave my front door open, it is still theft if you walk in and nick my telly.'
It might be theft but I'll have a telly and you'd be unlikely to get anything out of your insurance company :)
Surely something like an electric eel would be more appropriate, or perhaps some sort of ray.
Mine the one with the fishy smell about it.
"ISPAI is disappointed that the great potential of the internet, to provide opportunities to connect with users in new ways and develop new business models, is being missed by the music recording industry."
You tell 'em dudes :-)
As far as I can see this vehicle has no need of a solar panel, from this picture the mains lead can be clearly seen...
I've studied this picture in detail and have come to the conclusion that the model has been touched up.
Tongue lolling and spittle drooling in a Homer Simpson style...
At last a nice looking screen, the oled display takes away that horrible glossy shiny look that has been around for the last few years, excellent.
Why would pedestrians start doing that just because of the introduction of electric cars, they've spent the last hundred odd years stepping out in front of cars that make plenty of noise, why change the habits of a lifetime or two?
And if they do rely on hearing rather than looking, that can always be sorted by the use of a walkman to totally deaden the senses!
If like me you didn't fancy spending out all that dosh only to find that the tech didn't do what you want, try out the Logik IRMA 1, I picked mine up for £35 and as well as all internet 'radio' channels it can attach to local servers via uPNP also to shared drives including NAS devices.
Admittedly the remote is a bit restricted compared with the Sonos but what do you expect for a twentieth of the price, they've got to save money somewhere!
So once they've nicked your phone they'll now be able to escape by public transport all at your expense.
Mines the flame proof one.
Does it have to have a camera at all? After a week of use that this camera is going to get in the market it's aimed at and the lens will be completely covered in s**t and scratches.
If it had no camera I would consider buying one.
It a mobile phone... not a camera.
... says it all really. The Microsnot cube will dominate.

|Check-in before
The apartment does not look like the pictures. Furniture old and apartment was dirty. Good location near metro station
Le logement est très bien situé et le propriétaire est vraiment très sympathique. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour.
Very noisy and very basic.get ready to have sleep while u there because of the noise and bad beds.the Host is all right but they need to invest as peoples wants fair conditions when they rent out,not very old furniture,dirty.
The apartment does not look like the pictures. Furniture old. Apartment dirty and dark. Staying we had to start from tidying up. The apartment loud, you can hear everything from the street. Kitchen equipment very modest. Location good. Near the metro and train station.
Très mécontente
Nous sommes parties à 5.
Pas d'accueil à notre arrivée très mal accueillies
Appartement dégueulasse et sombre
Très bruyant mal isolé
Draps non changés et malodorants et sales.
Salle de bain défectueuse (pas de jet dans la douche)
mauvaises évacuation d'eau
Cuisine très sale inutilisable
Propriétaire pas aimable non chaleureux
Photos non conformes à la description (photos à l'appui)
seul point positif son emplacement
Apartament doskonale położony w centrum ,bardzo blisko metro , dworzec, sklep spożywczy, kawiarnia . Bardzo wygodny , pomieści nawet 6 osób ( 3 pokoje). Skromnie wyposażony, ale ma wszystko co potrzeba nawet na dłuższy pobyt. Właścicielka bardzo miła i pomocna. Polecamy zarówno rodzinom jak i grupom przyjaciół. Przy kolejnym pobycie w Barcelonie na pewno zamieszkamy tam ponownie.
The Apartment is not as nice as you would think from the pictures. There are no big double beds, only two big rooms with beds. The beds are old and you wake up when you turn around at night. So old and loud! The first night I couldn't sleep at all, so noisy outside. I bought ear plugs and it got better. It's Not cozy. I travelled with my mum and felt really sorry for her. She deserved better. I can recommend it for young people who want to have a cheap apartment and dont care so much how it looks. It is very central located and that's a plus! But I had also trouble with the deposit and nearly missed my flight because the check out lady don't came at the agreed time! Was not very amusing!
If you don't Care where you lay your head fair enough, but if you do then DO NOT GO!! Dusty, when we arrrived the bedsheets were smelling, no kettle or toaster in the kitchen, the oven does not work, shower curtains were dirty, walls are peeling off and that's just a few things. Don't personally think it was worth all that money that I paid. I paid for things that didn't exsist. So I shall never return or recommend somebody and this is my honest opinion. Not safe for kids as chandelier looks like it could collapse at any time. However the location is great but the accommodation ruined it. The host was alright but her attitude could have been better. I paid for an apartment but don't feel that's what I got. The apartment does not look like the pictures advertised.
Appartement très bon pour les petits budgets, bien situé et desservi ( gare de train et ligne de métro a proximité) mais possibilité de faire les trajets a pied facilement vers le centre et la plage.
- すべてのお部屋はチェック済み
- どのホストともお電話で直接お話いただけます

OT: See "Children of Men"
Damm good flick, below is a 10 minute scene from the flick. However, I must warn that it is a spoiler, but the scene is f-cking a -- the camera even catches blood on it.
This one is getting a bit overrated. A good action/chase movie but nothing much more than that. The sci-fi themes and background story were barely touched upon. It was an interesting idea but it was just left "out there". Good Clive Owen performance and one GREAT filmed action sequence towards to end.
Great movie, though I was somewhat disappointed in how it ended.
I think it was a lot more realistic then the other sc-fi, and because of that, I don't think it was really sci fi at all. The whole "all women are infertile" part is kinda like a bulb to illustrate the other problems in the society and showed how extremism only leads to more extremism.
It's not your typical sci-fi flick.
I agree. I didn't think it was anything exceptional. The action scenes were nice and all, but that was pretty much all I liked about the movie. The ending blows too, as MaxFly mentioned.
hmm i watched this and the illusionist on the same night
i liked the illusionist a tad better ;]
nice gears of war cam
I thought it was quite excellent. Definetly liked the action at the end. Some nicely filmed bits. Clive owen did a good job. I didn't see another way for the movie to end, so I thought the ending was alright.
Yep. Judging by what the critics are saying, you'd expect a 9 or 9.5 out of 10. Claiming it to be one of the best of this year and maybe even the next couple of years. I felt it was more like an 8. Better than just "a good movie" but not really something that's going to be of any significance come the end of the calendar year.
I like open-ended movies, but this one was a bit too open-ended for me.
Hmm...I actually just read some stuff that said they didn't do the single take scenes all at once. They supposedly shot a handful of takes and then spliced them together using CGI to mesh the transitions.
If so I think that's even more impressive in a way. :applause:
I just came home from seeing this movie and I loved it! 4 stars (out of four)!
For all you haters or the people who liked some of it but didn't like the ending, I guess you don't understand some of it.
If you haven't seen it yet you probably don't want to read this...
Sure the ending didn't answer the question, "What happens next?" or "How will the world change because of the baby?" It just assumes that the girl made it to the boat. The ending was so quick because it just fit with the pace of the movie. Everything happened so quickly. From the opening scene with the explosion in the Cafe to Julianne Moore's character getting killed (I thought she would've been in it more than she was), the movie was surprisingly simple, smart, and fast.
I was happy to see Clive Owen's character die. I hate movies where the likeable character gets through the impossible. With all those undodgeable bullets flying through the air, he had to die. If he didn't die, I would have been extremely disappointed and probably would have cost the movie a star and a half.
Just a few thoughts...
I don't think anybody in this thread disliked it (or part of it) because they misunderstood it. It's just the kind of movie where it's open to a lot of interpretation and some people are going to wish that things went a little further in depth. That's exactly how I feel and I understood the movie just fine.
I just saw the movie and now I want to kill myself. 4/4 Stars.
Great movie. Solid political parallels to today's scene, great pacing, great camerawork, good acting, great sound-track.
Cheesy ending sucked though. 'Taciturn hero valiantly fights through mortal wound that he somehow managed to hide the entire time before tragically succumbing to it after seeing his mission through'.
you ever see someone shot in the belly? they don't ****ing walk around with a slight grimace on their face.
Ever seen someone who knew it was solely up to them to lead the future of the human race to safety? People can do extraordinary things in extraordinary situations.
Of course, I think it was lame too. Just giving some possible reasoning. :D

Unlocking AMD CPU Cores Safe Say Mobo Makers
While browsing through motherboards at Computex, several manufacturers were quick to tell us some details about the recently released dual-core Phenom II CPUs from AMD.
Two motherboard makers told us at the show that AMD's new processors are safe when unlocking disabled cores. In fact, one motherboard maker even told us that when you unlock the disabled cores, they run at slower frequencies than the normal cores.
This is of course all incorrect, and it is indeed not a safe guarantee when you unlock the disabled cores. The reason for this is that the disabled cores are turned off for a reason: they failed factory tests. Cores can fail for any number of reasons, including defects in the silicon, problems running at full frequency, or a bug introduced during manufacturing.
Both AMD and Intel disable CPU cores for this very reason.
When you unlock the disabled cores, they will run at full processor frequency, since you cannot run each core at different speeds. While you may see initial gains and benefits from turning a dual-core CPU into a quad-core CPU, you may introduce instability into your system. Things may corrupt, calculate incorrectly or even crash.
Despite what we were told, we still recommend that if you're going to unlock disabled cores, do so with caution in mind--there is always a risk that something will go wrong.
Create a new thread in the UK News comments forum about this subject
0Anonymous , 6 June 2009 13:56I wonder if anyone has created a definitve test for cpu core integrity testing? This could be interesting if we are able to get triple/quad cores from dual core purchases
1caskachan , 7 June 2009 03:44amd makes X number of quads, but from the batch 1% fails to work correctly, bcuase some cores have defects and/or cant reach full speed, then they disable 1 or 2 cores and sell them as dual core or triple core, that way they dont loose money on the damaged quads
you might unlock and have a "stable system" that only crashes from time to time (once a week?), but a crash is a crash, and amd wont recomend you to unlock in order to avoid lawsuits.
some people have pondered that sometimes, theres over demand of dual cores or triples, and amd has to cater to that market, and purposedly disable cores on fully working quads, to fill that market need, in theory, those would be the fully stable dual to quad unlocks
so yeah gamble away XD

Indulge Yourself
Year round attractions close to La Terraza de San Juan include:
Two of the best preserved Spanish Colonial Forts – San Felipe del Morro and the Castillo de San Cristobal are both within walking distance and open to the public every day for a nominal fee. Every third Sunday of the month, from 11am throughout the afternoon, El Morro is the site of a Living History Demonstration in English and Spanish with demonstrators in period dress reenacting the lives of 18th Century soldiers, including black powder firing drills, work, and what they did for recreation. San Cristobal provides a free tunnel tour every Saturday at 10:30am in English and Sunday at 10:30 am in Spanish. This exciting tour shows the underground secrets of the fortification—not for the claustrophobic or faint of heart. We suggest that you arrive at least 30 minutes early to sign up for this coveted tour, and prepare to be amazed.
Plaza Darsena and the Paseo de la Princesa are just down the street from the hotel. Every Saturday night the plaza hosts Bohemia Night with live local music. The paseo fills with strolling couples and families checking out the artisans and local delicacies. Every last Sunday of the month, the paseo hosts the I Love Puerto Rico Cultural Event, a gastronomic event with live music.
Deep-Sea Fishing—Just 1 mile off the coast of San Juan is the 600-foot Puerto Rico Trench, allowing you to spend the day fishing for sailfish, wahoo, dolphin, mackerel, and tarpon. Charters are available at the marina, just 10 minutes from the hotel.
Heineken Ventana al Jazz—Free live Jazz on the last Sunday of each month, at the Ventana al Mar in the Condado. The Ventana al Mar is a grassy park right on the ocean, 10 minutes away by car or cab.
Every month something new is happening in San Juan.
Events in July:
July 12—Francia de Fiesta is a family event that will feature food, music, and an afternoon dedicated to entertainment for kids. The festival is sponsored by the Alianza Francesa de Puerto Rico and will be held at the Bahía Urbana complex pier 8 in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico from 2pm to 11pm. Admission is free.
July 19—Iconic reggae duo Israel Vibration will hold a concert at the Tito Puente Amphitheater in San Juan at 7:30pm. They will perform with Roots Radics Band. Tickets are available online at www.tcpr.com. We suggest you bring beach chairs—which can be found at Puerto Rico Drugs, just blocks away, since the amphitheater has no seats.
July 22-26—18th Annual Puerto Rico World Salsa Congress—Salsa dancers from around the world and right here on the island will compete in the biggest salsa event in the world. The dancing will take place at the nearby Puerto Rico Convention Center. Tickets are available at www.prticket.com.

Born Robin Ophelia Quivers on Aug. 8, 1952 in Pikesville, MD, she was the daughter of steelworker Charles Quivers, Sr., and his wife, Louise. Raised in Baltimore's predominately black neighborhood of Pimlico, she described her formative years as uneventful, though with a terrible secret: Quivers' father molested her during her preteen years. She found solace in television, drawing inspiration from medical shows like "Ben Casey" (ABC, 1961-66), which spurred her to pursue a career as a nurse. After graduating from the University of Maryland, Quivers' first job was in the shock trauma facility at the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services System, which proved to be a grueling experi...

#MileMadness Day 3: Life gets in the way
I managed to get the day off to a decent start, picking up $1k at the grocer via my stackable deal there en route home after dropping my boy off at school, but I knew I had a very busy work day ahead of me after that. And so it was and I did not finish until around 7pm at which point Raleigh was once again under siege from rain and snow. For those of you living under rocks this is what happens when snow hits Raleigh:
So despite the fact I knew the OfficeMax fiasco was fixed, I really don't think the points are worth risking life and limb for. Worse still is I was not able to unload the $1k I bought in the morning so now I have a small haul for the day AND are smaller bank role for Day 4. Maybe next time we can run this in summer?
Also just one note to add about my Day 2 spend. I bought $2k's worth of Visa Gift Cards and liquidated them through Evolve by paying my mortgage (sadly, I have a rather large mortgage). I thought this was in-bounds but Elena made a comment and I checked with the judges and this is not allowed as the money has to come back to you. So I've agreed with the judges I can "swap" that out by repeating the same MS but liquidating via money orders. In practice you should always liquidate using the method that is most efficient to you, so in this case the mortgage payment was definitely the most efficient as it costs nothing and I can do it from the comfort of my armchair. But for the spirit of the competition which means true money "recycling" I need to get that money back in the bankroll. I also had some other options because over the weekend I did more than the reported MS here – hey I am like a dog chasing a ball at Walmart Money Center, each time they give me money orders I can't help myself from asking for more

|Ruth Coker Burks learned early in life the true value of a cemeteryand "EVERYTHING" that is buried there. At ten years of age, Ruth's grandmother died in an automobile accident..The trauma of the accident dulled compared to the family fight that ensued...Ruth's eccentric mother bought 262 grave spaces in the family cemetery. ALL of the remaining spaces so that her mother's own brother, Uncle Fred, and his family could not be buried with the rest of the family..Ruth's mother then put up her marker that read in part, "Woe be unto you hypocrites, Pharisees and scribes" paraphrased from Matthew 23..to suit her needs..Throughout the next decade all Ruth heard from both her mother, and the family was about the cemetery and "that marker" Ruth has since donated the cemetery as a final resting place for over forty AIDS patients whose families had abandoned them in their greatest time of need.

The Washington Post is reporting that Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees has been arrested and jailed on felony charges following a confrontation with officers that took place early on Thursday. Because some of the charges are felonies, Rees hasn't been released yet.
Rees, 19, was arrested on charges of resisting law enforcement, battery to law enforcement, minor consumption and public intoxication, St. Joseph County police Sgt. Bill Redman said.
According to Sgt. William Redman, Rees was pepper sprayed before arriving at the jail. At this time, he isn't sure when it exactly happened. [FOX28]
Rees isn't the only Irish player to be arrested as linebacker Carlo Calabrese was also arrested on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and released after he posted $150 bond.
"The university is aware of this incident and is confident that it will be handled in a prompt and professional manner through the criminal justice system," Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown said in a statement. "Internal discipline is handled privately, in accord with our own policies and federal law."
Rees started 12 of the Irish's 13 games last season. Rees was among four other quarterbacks fighting for the starting position this season.
Irish fans are already not too happy with Rees so this won't make it any easier for him. I imagine Rees will move to the back of the pack in the quarterback race at Notre Dame.
[Update] Chicago Tribune reports
South Bend police had received a call about a loud party at about 12:30 a.m. on Notre Dame Avenue, an off-campus area that is home to many Notre Dame students, South Bend police Capt. Phil Trent said.
Officers found a "madhouse of people" drinking and congregating outside a home, enjoying the warm night, he said.
"It was a nice night, they were drinking, they're having a loud time, which is the reason we're there."
As officers approached, five or six people hopped a fence and led police on a chase, Trent said. The officers caught up with the group and used their hands to corral them, but Rees "actively resisted," Trent said.
"It wasn't terribly violent, but it was enough to be considered resisting," he said.
One officer suffered a minor scrap and "had the wind knocked out of him" while trying to stop the group, Trent said.

How to Rollover Your 401k to an IRA
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 03/08/2012 @ 12:11 pm In Retirement | 7 Comments
One of the ways you can improve your retirement investing is to roll your 401k over to an IRA. A rollover, if done right, can help you put your money into an account that sometimes offers more investment options than your company 401k plan offers.
If you are leaving your current job, some kind of a rollover might be necessary. You can roll a 401k from your old job to a 401k plan at your new job. However, if you aren't sure what your options will be with a new job, it can be worth it to consider an IRA. Unless the current 401k plan is a great plan, you are likely to find that you are better off rolling over your account. However, you should consider your individual situation, and consult a professional, before making such a weighty decision.
It's usually fairly simple to do a rollover, especially if you are transferring the money from a 401k to a traditional IRA. Here are the steps to follow as you roll your 401k to an IRA:
You can also rollover your 401k to a Roth IRA. However, there are additional considerations associated with a Roth IRA. Income restrictions on rollovers to Roth IRA accounts were lifted in 2010, but there are still issues to consider, such as the fact that hardship distributions can't be rolled over.
For the most part, your biggest issue is likely to be taxes. A Roth IRA has a different tax advantage; you pay taxes on your income up front, but the money grows tax-free. A 401k, though, is a tax-deferred account, so the money is contributed before you pay taxes. The result is that when you accomplish a rollover, you will need to make up for the fact that you have received the tax benefit. In some cases, the taxes you pay outweigh the benefits of rolling your 401k over to a Roth IRA.

Amid Health Ministry's efforts to bury organs, tissues collected by Forensic Institute, new evidence suggest unmarked samples were buried in a mass grave without families' permission
Carmit Reuven
Published: 06.03.12, 15:16 / Israel News
Carmit Reuven
The scandal deepens: Dozens of organs and tissue samples
of bodies autopsied at the Abu Kabir
Institute for Forensic Medicine were buried in a mass grave without notification to or permission from the families of the deceased, Ynet learned Sunday.
The samples in question had been stored in jars from which the identifying details had been erased. The Health Ministry confirmed the details, but refused to disclose the location of the presumed burial site.
Related stories:
After Yedioth Ahronoth exposed the fact that IFM Director Prof. Yehuda Hiss,
had, over the course of years hid body parts and tissue samples from police autopsies, the Health Ministry announced a "Final Resting Place"
campaign designed to provide fitting burial
for the some 8,000 samples left in the Forensic Institute.
Initially, the ministry tried to identify the thousands of jars to determine to whom the remains belonged, but was dependent mainly on the jars' labels. It now appears that the writing on some the labels had faded beyond legibility, and that the contents of these jars were buried en masse.

Therefore, the Health Ministry decided to apply the program only to remains for which there was a "demand" – the parts for which the family members of the deceased had signed a document or contacted the ministry by phone to have the parts buried with their loved one's bodies.
Thus far, some 1,000 requests have been received on the ministry's "Final Resting Place" hotline regarding the remains of approximately 400 people.
Orlansky said that families whose deceased tissue samples and/or organs had been buried without their knowledge had a right to sue the institute.

The ministry also said that it was currently putting all its resources toward an honorable burial for the tissue samples that were meant to be buried in a mass grave. The aspects of the institute's conduct are being checked and that investigation will proceed once the first stage of the 'Final Resting Place' campaign is concluded."
"No one asked my permission to bury parts of her in a separate mass grave. I would never allow her to be buried with others," Ahronson said.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

I have been reading up on all the criticism leveled against my faith and the Bible and since that criticism may have gone viral—it is so accessible over the web and on TV—I thought one or two believers who had some concern might take the time to read my response in this blog.
This reminds me of spiders. I wrote in my first book, Can You See God in This Picture? about spiders: One summer, I had a job painting bridges for the New York State Thruway Authority. One bridge first had to be cleared of the spider nests found under each cross rail before painting. The first few thumb-sized spiders were easy to splat, but after a dozen or so, the phlegm-like goo that resulted began to sicken me. I was not a spider-killer at heart, and this activity was making me nauseous. Too much is too much.
And that is how I have been feeling about the videos and the books that I have been reading and listening to that laugh at my faith and claim to have clear proof that my hope in a future with God is made up, and nothing more than the fancy dreams of a religious man that can't face reality.
Is it time to kill a few juicy false and vindictive ideas? I apologize in advance for all the quoting and the technical language. As any regular readers must have guessed by now: I am just a believer who has attempted to understand some of the scholarship on this subject, but I remain as dumb as ever. The upside is that I have come to the conclusion that some scholars have a loftier view of their academic achievements than they ought and that on the subject of my Bible and my faith they just might be dumber. With all due respect, here are a couple of quotes from persons I do not wish to denigrate but with whom I clearly beg to differ.
Opponents of our Faith
Acharya S, aka D.M. Murdock, is an independent scholar of comparative religion and mythology. She is a proponent of the Christ myth theory. In her work The Origins of Christianity she wrote: "Basically, there is no known non-Biblical references to a historical Jesus by any historian or other writer of the time during and shortly after Jesus's purported advent….. From all the evidence it, appears that there was no single historical person upon whom the Christian religion was founded, and that 'Jesus Christ' is a compilation of legends, heroes, gods, and god-men."
Her conclusion is that it is Christianity which has to scientifically prove its claim of a savior; it is not her burden to disprove our faith, So, bottom line: She gets to theorize that believers are living in fantasy land, regardless of how politely she makes that statement work for her.
Payam Nabarz, a Persian-born Sufi … holds a Ph.D. from Oxford University [England]… He is a Druid …and a revivalist of the Temple of Mithras. We take him for an intelligent man. In his The Mysteries of Mithras: The Pagan Belief That Shaped the Christian World he concluded that Christianity derives from a common religious source with the religion of Persia [modern Iran], "It seems there were no copyright concerns back in the years 200 B.C.E to 500 C.E. Otherwise, the competing religions would have been constantly fighting lawsuits."
Is Christianity nothing more that recooked Persian myth?
Franz-Valéry-Marie Cumont was a Belgian archaeologist and historian who studied the syncretic mystery religions of Late Antiquity, notably Mithraism, an ancient Persian cult. Cumont was a graduate of the University of Ghent (PhD, 1887). I appreciate his scholastic honesty. In The Mysteries Of Mithra he gives us a realistic appraisal:
"The only domain in which we can ascertain in detail the extent to which Christianity imitated Mithraism is that of art."
He wrote, "The struggle between the two rival religions [Mithras myth in Rome and Christianity] was the more stubborn as their characters were the more alike. The adepts of both
- formed secret conventicles, closely united,
- the members of which gave themselves the name of "Brothers."
- The rites which they practised offered numerous analogies. The sectaries of the Persian god, like the Christians,
- purified themselves by baptism;
- received, by a species of confirmation, the power necessary to combat the spirits of evil; and
- expected from a Lord's Supper salvation of body and soul. Like the latter,
- they also held Sunday sacred, and celebrated the birth of the Sun [Malachi 4:2] on the 25th of December, the same day on which Christmas has been celebrated, since the fourth century at least.
- They both preached a categorical system of ethics, regarded asceticism as meritorious, and counted among their principal virtues abstinence and continence, renunciation and self-control.
- Their conceptions of the world and of the destiny of man were similar. They both admitted the existence of a Heaven inhabited by beatified ones, situate in the upper regions, and of a Hell peopled by demons, situate in the bowels of the earth.
- They both placed a Flood at the beginning of history;
- they both assigned as the source of their traditions a primitive revelation;
- they both, finally, believed in the immortality of the soul, in a last judgment, and in a resurrection of the dead, consequent upon a final conflagration of the universe.
- We have seen that the theology of the Mysteries made of Mithra a "mediator" equivalent to the Alexandrian [Christian] Logos [John 1:1]. Like him, Christ also was a μεσίτης, [I Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 8:6; Hebrews 9:15; Hebrews 12:24 ] an intermediary between his celestial father and men, and like him
- he also was one of a trinity.
- [The Persian religion was a form of sun worship—spelled with a 'U'] ..the ecclesiastical writers, reviving a metaphor of the prophet Malachi [Malachi 4:2 ], contrasted the 'Sun of justice' with the 'invincible Sun,' and consented to see in the dazzling orb which illuminated men a symbol of Christ, 'the light of the world.'"
The most noteworthy similarity for me is the so-called "Second Coming" or the Parousia. [Titus 2:13] The Christians are awaiting the return of Christ. Our Jewish friends are looking for the coming of Messiah. The Islamic nations expect the return of Allah. And the Hindus anticipate the appearing of the 11th Avatar of Veshnu, their redeemer god. All on a white horse! The religious world might just have a common source of revelation but it is not Mithraism. Is it possible that God wanted to share some exciting news about His advent with His world? Is it possible that there is an innate awareness of something beyond this life in all men but modern thought has attempted to explain it away because it cannot be put under a microscope?
Take a closer look at some of the similarities between our Christian faith and ancient religions. Many of them are incidental. They are the sheer product of a common form of human reasoning and human organization. Forming small groups or calling each other brother does not prove a common source other than the mere thought process common to all men. [Exodus 18:14-24]
Baptism? My personal view is that because of its significance for initiation into any religious group, it became an important part of Christian commitment. I think God utilized it because of its overarching importance in the religious world which remains just as true today. Baptism, like sacrifices, became types in Christian theology. [Colossians 2:12; Hebrews 10:12] Some ideas, to say it simply, are useful in explaining our new life in Christ. The message of Calvary is the real body of truth, the antitype, although they have been draped in pagan garb. [Acts 17:23]
Oh, December 25? I never did believe that this was the day of Jesus' birth. Yes, the church borrowed it from a pagan calendar, probably to wrest it away from them like the church attempted to do with October 31 by making November 1 "All Saints Day."
The Persian religion, according to Franz Cumont, spoke of a mediator. Is this not the heart of the sufferer? [Job 9:33] To me, this is a common hope that someone might approach God on our behalf. Different religions have a varied view of how this might work. Gnosticism has an entire filter system from man to God. On each level up the angelic ladder a being became a bit purer, a little more god-like, a little less tainted by sin, a smidgen cleaner. Mithraism had 7 levels.
Christianity has only Jesus and a torn temple veil. [Mark 15:38; Hebrews 6:19] Not quite the same thing!
Christ makes a Difference
But the difference between Christianity and all other religions and myths is what is noteworthy. The Persian myth spoke of the god, Mithras, awarding the initiate with eternal life through the sacrifice of a bull. Dr. Cumont referred to this animal sacrifice as a "hideous sacrifice for their salvation." In the christian faith, it is the Savior Himself that is sacrificed [ I Corinthians 5:7 ] and that provides eternal life. This is the vicarious atonement. Hebrews 10:26.
Regarding the alleged parallelism between our faith and the ancient cult, Dr. Cumont candidly remarked,
…in the majority of cases we rather suspect [my emboldening] this transference than clearly perceive it. …. We cannot presume to unravel to-day a question which divided contemporaries and which shall doubtless forever remain insoluble. We are too imperfectly acquainted with the dogmas and liturgies of Roman Mazdaism [The Roman form of the Persian mythology], as well as with the development of primitive Christianity, to say definitely what mutual influences were operative in their simultaneous evolution. But be this as it may, resemblances do not necessarily suppose an imitation.
Can I repeat that?
And the Pièce de résistance is this final quote from Franz Cumont. Read it carefully!
But this strained parallelism could result in nothing but a caricature. It was a strong source of inferiority for Mazdaism [The Roman form of the Persian mythology] that it believed in only a mythical redeemer. That unfailing wellspring of religious emotion supplied by the teachings and the passion of the God sacrificed on the cross, never flowed for the disciples of Mithra [my embolding].
Dr. Gregory Boyd, a professor at Bethel College, St. Paul, Minnesota, in A. Letters From A Skeptic. wrote:
There is no other belief which does this… Only the Gospel dares to proclaim that God enters smack-dab into the middle of the hell we created. Only the Gospel dares to proclaim that God was born a baby in a bloody, crap-filled stable, that He lived a life befriending the prostitutes and lepers no one else would befriend, and that He suffered firsthand, the hellish depth of all that is nightmarish in human existence.
If you have been threatened with a crisis of faith because of the ramblings of would-be academicians like Bill Maher in his film 'Religulous', or the nastiness of a Hichens or Price, don't be intimidated by their claim to knowledge. Look for the Vicarious Atonement in all other religions. It isn't there. All myth offers is—well, dare I say it?—more bull [taurobolium].
Stephen Prothero, who claims not to be Christian but who is a professor in the Department of Religion at Boston University, in his text God Is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World–and Why Their Differences Matter tells me, if I understand him, that only Christianity offers a creed (an orthodoxy) and therefore is a "faith." It might be difficult to wrap one's mind around the idea that in this regard Christianity is unique but the message of Calvary is not borrowed from any religion, cult or philosophy ancient or modern. That should tell us something about the center of our spiritual universe around which all our beliefs and principles and interpretations of Scripture should revolve.
It is often a mistake to refer to a religion as a "faith," or to its adherents as "believers." As odd as this might sound, faith and belief don't matter much in most religions. Often ritual is far more important, as in Confucianism. Or story, as in Yoruba religion. Many Jews do not believe in God, and the world's Hindus get along quite well without any creed. Today the price of admission to the Christian family continues to be orthodoxy (right thought) rather than orthopraxy (right practice). "We believe," the Nicene Creed begins, and two hundred or so words later Christians the world over have summarized their collective faith. As the term Christianity implies, this faith revolves around the person of Jesus, whom Christians have traditionally regarded as Son of God, Savior, and Christ (from the Greek word for the Hebrew term messiah, the coming king who will remake the world).
Historical Revisionism?
If you got this far, I am honored by your persistence. I shouldn't stretch credulity by asking you to consider a couple isolated but relevant points.
For years I have been greeting people with a "Good Morning" regardless of the time of day. Those who know me have taken note of this and have at times with humor attempted a correction. Back in Bible college I did this and to my surprise so did the President of the school. It was the conclusion of some classmates that I was mimicking him—but not to my recollection. I never remember hearing him greet me. It had to be more suggestive or subliminal if I did pick up on it from him. It is a good theory that the first known reference to something is closest to its beginning; but, it is a weaker conclusion to deduce that the oldest known occurrence IS the beginning. Did I copy Reverend Emery?
Oh, this whole blog was brought to you by historical revisionism, the reinterpretation of orthodox views on evidence, motivations, and decision-making processes surrounding a historical event. And that event? The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Most critics are contemporaries of ours, because this is a current approach to reviewing the meaning and significance of the historical record. Since no historian can write without at least some personal bias there is some danger involved with the process.
- Negation-ism: In attempting to revise the past, illegitimate historical revisionism appeals to the intellect—via techniques illegitimate to historical discourse—to advance a given interpretive historical view. Some believe that the holocaust never happened. Some deny that the Jewish Temple ever existed in Jerusalem.
- Political influence: revisionists can rewrite history to support an agenda, often political, and use many techniques and rhetorical fallacies to obtain the desired results. In doing so, the revisionists therefore engage in deceiving their audience into believing manipulated information. Is it any wonder that Nabarz, a Druid, would attempt to discredit Christian faith? Sean Mccarey, whom I do not know but who I want to quote, in his review—on the Goodreads website—of Dr. Nabarz's book remarked,
"I quickly discovered that the author does not think there is a major division between … actual historical evidence and stuff he made up. Also he makes some pretty big claims,… without backing them up."
- Ideological influence: By revising history, therefore, one has the ability to specifically craft that ideological identity. Because historians are credited as people who single-mindedly pursue truth, revisionist historians capitalize on the profession's credibility and present their pseudo-history as true scholarship.
- Cognitive dissonance: The theory of cognitive dissonance in social psychology proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by altering existing cognitions, adding new ones to create a consistent belief system…. Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing one's belief, the dissonance can result in restoring consonance through misperception, rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others. Is it possible that some critics never started with an openness to learn but a preconceived idea they set out to prove any way they could?

Well, I hope all had a great holiday, and welcome to the first serving of the Coffee House for 2009.
After having a number of SharePoint projects under my belt I decided to look into creating a cloneable development environment for myself. The following is based on information and scripts from Ben Curry's blog entry on SharePoint Installation Scripts and Paul Horsfall's blog entry on SharePoint, Sysprep and SQL. Both entries were invaluable in helping me create the process (and my scripts) below.
First off, below find the software used to accomplish this:
Now, let's create the necessary image:
At this point you should now have a working MOSS machine/image that's ready for Sysprep. Sysprep requires an .INF file to run and I've attached the one I use to create my images. Note that you'll need to open it up and enter your correct Product Key for use. Also note the ComputerName entry and how it's valued with an asterisk (*). This tells the system to wait for user input before it can continue. What this allows you to do is give the machine a name during creation. Both of these attributes are in the [UserData] section of the Sysprep.inf file.
Sysprep also allows you to run scripts after the spinning up of the machine. In this instance I run 2 scripts: one to set up the SQL Server correctly (startsql.bat) and one to configure MOSS (mossconfig.bat).
startsql.bat does two things: it renames the SQL Server instance from the original (MOSSDEV) to the name that you gave the machine during spin up, and then it gives the relevant DB related rights to the ID to be used for MOSS configuration (note I use a different ID for this than 'Administrator', see Step 8 above). You'll need to change the ID in this file if you use a different one.
mossconfig.bat basically does what it says: it configures MOSS. It creates the Farm database, sets up the necessary services, creates 3 Web Applications (SSP Web Admin, My Sites and a Portal), creates the Shared Services Provider and configures it with those Web Applications, and then creates a Site Collection on the Portal Web Application.
To Sysprep the machine:
This newly created .VHD is what will be used as the parent when creating new Differencing .VHDs. The advantage here is that you can now create as many Differencing .VHDs as you want, all using the parent we created, and upon spinning it up you'll have a new MOSS environment to work in. Note: when you spin up your development image for the first time, and it asks you for your machine name, it'll finish up its configuration of the machine, and then restart. When it asks you to log on, you must log on with the ID you set up to be the MOSS setup ID (in my files I use the ID 'adminmoss' for this). This is important as this ID will then be used to configure MOSS.
Now, when you want to create a new MOSS development environment, you create a new Differencing .VHD, use the above as the parent, and then create a new Virtual Machine using that new Differencing .VHD. Quick and easy from that point on.
Attached in this post is a .ZIP file (CloneableAssets.zip) containing the 3 files above.

Learned something new - wssdebug.exe. I normally do this by hand.
You didn't link to wssdebug.exe. Is it the one from paulhorsfall.co.uk/.../...able-Debugging-And.aspx, or is there something more recent?

Novel cybersecurity approach has plenty of fans—and naysayers
Just how continuous should continuous security monitoring be?
The 20 critical security controls identified in the Consensus Audit Guidelines represent the highest-priority defenses that enterprises should focus on, based on the likelihood of real-world attacks. The categories, which are not presented in order of priority, are broken down into those that can be validated at least in part in an automated manner and those that involve manual validation.
Critical controls subject to automated collection, measurement and validation:
1. Inventory of authorized and unauthorized devices.2. Inventory of authorized and unauthorized software.3. Secure configurations for hardware and software on laptop PCs, workstations and servers.4. Secure configurations for network devices such as firewalls, routers and switches.5. Boundary defense.6. Maintenance, monitoring and analysis of security audit logs.7. Application software security.8. Controlled use of administrative privileges.9. Controlled access based on need to know.10. Continuous vulnerability assessment and remediation.11. Account monitoring and control.12. Malware defenses.13. Limitation and control of network ports, protocols and services.14. Wireless device control.15. Data loss prevention.
Additional critical controls, not directly supported by automated measurement and validation:
16. Secure network engineering.17. Penetration tests and red-team exercises.18. Incident response capability.19. Data recovery capability.20. Security skills assessment and appropriate training to fill gaps.

France buries gunman after Algeria refuses
TOULOUSE, France The body of a gunman who claimed responsibility for France's worst terror attacks in years has been buried.
The burial Thursday night came after days of painful debate about what to do with the body of 23-year-old Mohamed Merah, a Frenchman of Algerian origin.
His Algerian-born father wanted him buried in Algeria, but authorities there refused the request.
Police say Merah filmed himself killing three schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers earlier this month. Merah, who espoused radical Islam and said he had links to al-Qaida, was shot in the head last week after a standoff with police in Toulouse.
Abdallah Zekri of the French Muslim Council said he was buried in the Muslim section of a cemetery in the Toulouse neighborhood of Cornebarrieu.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
TOULOUSE, France (AP) - France, still reeling from its worst terror attacks in years, wrangled Thursday with how and where to bury the man who claimed to have carried them out.
Algerian authorities said they didn't want to take Mohamed Merah's remains, as his Algerian-born father had wanted. French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he just wanted the burial over with.
Police say Merah filmed himself killing three schoolchildren, a rabbi and three paratroopers in a spate of attacks earlier this month. Merah, who espoused radical Islam and said he had links to al-Qaida, was shot in the head after a standoff with police last week in the southern city of Toulouse.
His brother is in custody on suspected complicity and police are looking for a potential third man who might have helped.
But in the meantime, Merah's body remains unburied a week after his death.
The 23-year-old's father said this week that he wanted his son buried in a family plot in the Medea region of Algeria, a solution that seemed to satisfy French officials uncomfortable with the question of what to do with his remains.
With that plan in mind, Merah's body was brought to the Toulouse airport Thursday, and his mother had been expecting to accompany it to Algiers on a flight later in the day.
But Abdallah Zekri of the French Muslim Council, or CFCM, told The Associated Press that Algerian authorities refused for "reasons of public order." Zekri had been liaising with authorities at the Algerian consulate in Toulouse.
Instead, Zekir said Merah would be buried later Thursday at the Muslim cemetery in the Toulouse neighborhood of Cornebarrieu. But then the Toulouse mayor objected, and asked authorities in the central government in Paris to delay the burial another 24 hours.
"After Algeria's refusal at the last minute to accept the body of Mohamed Merah, (Toulouse Mayor) Pierre Cohen feels that his interment on the territory of the city of Toulouse is not appopriate," the mayor's office said in a statement.
Sarkozy said, "Let him be buried, and let's not create a debate about this."
Merah's brother has been handed preliminary charges of alleged complicity in preparing the killings, though his lawyer insists that Abdelkader Merah had no idea what his brother was plotting.
Abdelkader Merah told investigators that a third man helped the Merah brothers steal a motorbike used later in the killings, two police officials said Thursday. Merah did not give the name of the other man.
Also, police have found a car abandoned in a parking lot in a village in southern France, Saint-Papoul, that belongs to a man registered as living at the same Toulouse address as Mohamed Merah, police officials said. It's unclear whether the car owner and the alleged motorbike thief are the same person.

Colombian Community Cultural Initiative
FolkColombia Música y Danza
Have you come to one of our Taller programs recently? Click here to take a brief survey - we're grateful for your feedback.
In 2008, the Center for Traditional Music and Dance began field research in the rich traditions of New York's vibrant Colombian community. CTMD had presented the NY-based groups Los Macondos (vallenato) and La Cumbiamba eNeYé (Afro-Colombian) over the years, but explosion of new music coming from other young traditional artists also commanded our attention.
New York has been home to thousands of Colombians for over sixty years. Many Colombians fled their country during the civil war of late the 1940s through the 1950s, and the recession of the 1960s forced many more to look for work abroad. New York became the most popular relocation site for emigrating Colombians and by the 1970s Colombians had settled into the Queens neighborhoods of Jackson Heights, Corona, Elmhurst, Woodside, Rego Park and Flushing. Since that time immigration from Colombia has not abetted as the country has been plagued with economic and social turmoil. One in nine Colombians now lives abroad, often first relocating to Queens and then on to suburbs such as Westchester, Stamford, Elizabeth, Bergenline and Englewood.
Whereas much of the music heard in New York's Colombian communities in the 1970s was vallenato and cumbia, by the 2000s young NY Colombians began making new music based on the traditions they heard growing-up and other lesser known traditions they were interesting in exploring.
In the Spring of 2010 we were thrilled to offer a nine-part workshop series designed to engage audiences in the range of traditional music and dance forms from Colombia's coast to the plains. Produced in collaboration with the Queens Museum of Art and El Taller Latino Americano, these workshops not only demonstrated the richness of Colombian traditions but also indicated to us that the community was eager to learn more about the beauty and diversity of traditional Colombian music and dance. This was followed in Spring/Fall 2011 with a series of programs at Flushing Town Hall, Queens Museum of Art and El Taller, as well as a major showcase of Colombian music and dance at CTMD's Heritage Sunday program at Lincoln Center Out of Doors on August 7, 2011, an event which drew thousands.
Our committee of master artists and cultural activists formed FolkColombia Música y Danza which is dedicated to introducing the rich variety of traditional Colombian music and dance forms to Colombians, Colombian-Americans and the wider general public; and to exposing and educating all New Yorkers on the diversity, value and beauty of Colombian traditional arts while supporting creativity in the development of these artistic forms.

IBA West member and Republican Beth Gaines has won the election to fill her husband's former Assembly seat.
According to the Sacramento Bee, Gaines was ahead of Roseville Democrat Dennis Campanale in Tuesday's runoff election for the 4th Assembly District, leading 55 percent to 45 percent, with 90 percent of precincts reporting. The two emerged as the top vote-getters in an eight-way March primary election triggered by the January election of her husband, Ted Gaines, to an overlapping state Senate seat.
After winning by just one percentage point in the primary, Gaines scored an easy win against Campanale who had the backing of the firefighters. Thanks to the IBA West members who support Beth in her effort to win this race that turned out to be more low-key.
According to the Bee, the only real campaigning took place in the 11th hour when the firefighters' union backing Campanale, reported spending nearly $40,000 to mail voters' pamphlets to attack Gaines' positions on the state budget.
Gaines, who works as a marketing consultant for the family insurance business, Point West Insurance Associates in Sacramento, supports a cuts-based approach to solving the state's projected $15.4 billion budget deficit and has vowed to oppose Gov. Jerry Brown's proposal to ask voters to approve continuing higher income, sales and vehicle tax rates.
Gaines' swearing-in will mark the first time since late 2008 that there are no vacancies in the state Legislature, reported the Bee.

It can be hard to hear your heart and soul – it can feel daunting, and you can get stuck in your brain real fast. And you can also short circuit yourself because of fear. Which is why I invented this AWESOME LOVE FILLED GAME for finding your Heart & Soul Goals, and creating a year motivated by LOVE not pressure, fear or lack.
I've been playing this game all week — with Noah, at dinner with friends, and last night we had a Dream Party where we all played it and then painted our heart and soul desires on our windows! And now I will share it with you (window painting is optional).
The game is based on 4 core questions that help you get into your heart and soul DESIRES (desire means "from the stars" – in other words you co-create with Spirit instead of from want, lack or fear).
1. What do you desire to DO in 2014? (these are actions you desire to take)
2. What do you desire to HAVE in 2014? (these are things you are in relationship to – people, material things)
3. Who do you desire to BE in 2014? (this is about who you CHOOSE to be in the world this year)
4. What do you desire to FEEL in 2014 ? (choose three words that culiminate how you want to feel – your heart and soul work on the feeling level)
To bring these to life say them out loud with a friend, or get pieces of paper and free flow write the answers, using the questions as statements –
"In 2014, I desire to DO… "
"In 2014, I desire to HAVE…"
"In 2014, I desire to BE…"
"In 2014, I desire to FEEL" — and before you talk or write, put your hand on your heart, close your eyes, take a breath and then just write or say what comes — no thinking it, FEEL it or SEE it… and let it emerge. The best is when you just let the energy rip out of you talking or writing and YOU surprise yourself.
A few important self-love and spiritual pieces of wisdom
1. Use the word DESIRE not words like "like to have" "want to do" – want comes from lack, like from a place of not deserving – that is so not self-love! So when you state these desires, it's about coming from wholeness and enoughness. You already have access to all of this inside of you and through your connection to spirit. Desire means 'From the stars' so using this word invokes the truth that you are A. Aligning with Divine Will and B. Co Creating with the Divine. This isn't about magical thinking or hopeful manifesting, but getting yourself into alignment with your heart and soul's wisdom. When you do that, you create your year instead of pressure fill it.
2. January is the DREAMING TIME, February the Seeding Time – so play with these questions all month/moon long. This January holds a full cycle of the moon, which from a divine feminine perspective is really awesome and powerful. because when we create in conjunction with the moon cycle, we create realities that make harmony in our lives instead of stress.
Here's one of mine… it's a DO DESIRE… "In 2014, I desire to take a group of women to Italy for a Divine Feminine Immersion – a week of absolutely activating their Feminine Super Powers to Receive & Achieve instead of overgive and overdo… and then I desire to stay in Italy and the coasts of Greece to travel and have my own personal experience for the rest of the month!"
Now your turn… post it here on the blog.
Christine Arylo,
Inspiration Catalyst, Transformational Speaker, Queen of Self-Love
In 2014 I desire to midwife parentcoaching.org into a powerful business that supports me abundantly and generates enough new clients for my friend and co-conspirator Meadoe to have as much coaching work as she would like.
I desire to deepen my trust of the Universe unfolding through me and relax into my inner knowing. I desire to give my life energy only to projects and people that inspire and feed my YES! I desire to give my energy freely and fully (Fool-ishly) to that Yes and clearly and cleanly say No when that is my truth.
I desire to share this work with my women's circle and continue the work with them.
Thanks, Christine!
With love,

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440416442, Paperback)Cesa de Haro loves the land—the vast and beautiful Rancho del Valle de la Madrugada, the Ranch of the Valley of the Dawn—where she and her family live. It's where Cesa was born, the only home she has ever known, and the place where her mother died eight years ago. The ranch is Cesa's world.
But that world is threatened when Mexico loses the 1846 war with the United States. Upper California, and the de Haro family's ranch with it, now belongs to foreigners—the Americans. Each day more of them arrive in California, hungry for gold and for land. Now it is up to Cesa to assume her mother's role as mistress of the ranch and help to preserve her family's way of life. But will the sacrifice it requires be more than she's willing to make?
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:13:31 -0400)
Thirteen year-old Cesa has a wonderful life in the California of the 1840s, even if her great-aunt wants her to learn to fill a woman's place when she would rather ride the land.

Manus Islanders To Protest Over Asylum Service Contracts
PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (The National, Nov. 8, 2012) – The people of Manus are preparing a protest march in Lorengau town over service contracts before the asylum seekers arrive on the island.
Member for Manus Ronny Knight confirmed that the planned protest march would be held tomorrow.
He said they were protesting the lack of participation in service contracts.
Knight said he was informed of the planned protest action and would be flying out today to be with his people.
He said his people's concerns were true as they did not want foreign or outside companies to be given contracts.
"We have the capacity to provide services in construction and security. What will remain and how the people should be involved in service contracts is what we are concerned about. What we want is to give business to our people." Knight said he was prepared to receive the petition from the people if Governor Charlie Benjamin was away.
He said he acknowledged the infrastructure development the two governments wanted to undertake but economic participation was the people's concern.
The island is expected to see the first batch of asylum seekers arriving by the end of this week.
Australia's parliamentary secretary for Pacific Island Affairs Richard Marles said asylum seekers would be transferred "in the coming days," an Australian Associated Press report said yesterday.
The PNG and Australian governments had not specified a date as administrative details were still being finalized.
At a joint press conference in Port Moresby on Wednesday, Marles said it was "dangerous" to pinpoint a date for the transfers, with PNG Immigration Minister Rimbink Pato indicating a task force was on the island preparing for arrivals.
"Once all administrative arrangements have been made, the Australian and PNG governments will take the steps necessary to ensure the asylum seekers are sent to Manus," Pato said.
Earlier, island MPs said they had been told to expect transfers after the end of this week.
Security firm G4S had been hired to provide security for a temporary facility at the Lombrum Naval Base.
Mary Handen, representing the landowners, said locals wanted contracts for securing the temporary site and for the future construction of a permanent facility.
"We want to be given major service contracts. We want to sustain ourselves and build our capacity," she said. "People are organizing themselves (to protest) at the moment."
Australian High Commissioner Ian Kemish met with island officials last week to lay outaid plans for the infrastructure-poor island, to which AU$8 million [US$8.3 million] had been committed.

Take it Easy!
900 grams
Greg Schloesser's BoardgameGeek Review
Shannon Appelclinel's RPG.net Review
Click here for a PDF with more information!
Take It Easy is a staff favorite, and an excellent and accessible game for all levels of players. This is a new edition of the out-of-print favorite, a true multi-player solitaire game in which each player individually completes a hexagon-shaped board with spots for 19 hexagon tiles. The box comes with materials for six players, but there's no limit to number of players if you've got enough sets on hand – which makes it an excellent choice for game nights, families and parties (Take It Easy has been played by over 250 gamers simultaneously at the renowned "Gathering of Friends" annual gaming event!). One person (the caller, who may also play) randomly draws one of 27 tiles featuring colored/numbered pipes crossing in three directions. Each player then places a tile on his hexagonal board, with the goal of connecting the colored lines edge to edge. Placement continues until the hexes are filled, and scoring is calculated by multiplying the number on the tile with the number of tiles in the completed line. As accessible as bingo, but with color, strategy – and a lot more fun!

Introduction The establishment of the $10 million Seniors' Mobility and Enabling Fund (SMF) was announced in 2011 with the aim of assisting seniors in getting subsidised mobility devices to help them perform daily activities, and move around their homes and communities.
With effect from 1 July 2013, the existing SMF has been expanded into a $50 million Seniors' Mobility and Enabling Fund (still known as SMF). The fund's scope has also been expanded based on feedback received from institutions, voluntary welfare organisations and community outreach programmes. With its expanded scope, the SMF aims to (i) provide more holistic and comprehensive support for seniors to live independently in the community, and (ii) support caregivers in caring for their seniors at home, rather than in institutions like nursing homes.
The SMF has been significantly enhanced in a few ways:
Quick overview of the enhanced SMF
SMF Subsidy
Application Channels
Which seniors can apply?
Restructured Hospitals, Community Hospitals, Intermediate and Long Term Care Service Providers, AIC
Deemed to require device by a Qualified Assessor (e.g. Therapist, Registered Nurse, Doctor, Audiologist, etc)
Receive up to 90% subsidy of the cost of the devices needed, subject to different maximum subsidy caps corresponding to the type of device.
(via specialised vehicles)
Day Rehabilitation Centres (DRCs)
Community ambulant on wheelchairs and requiring specialized transport
Subsidy quantum depends on the means testing outcome for the senior.
Dialysis Centres
Dementia Day Care Centres (DDCCs)
All clients requiring specialized transport
Home-based healthcare services (home medical/home nursing)
High-needs seniors, being cared for at home and in the community by home-based healthcare or SPICE providers.
AIC's Singapore Programme for Integrated Care for the Elderly (SPICE)
Besides the current walking aids and basic wheelchairs, the list has also expanded to include motorised wheelchair, commodes, hospital bed, and pressure relief cushions/mattress, etc.
In response to feedback from VWOs and social workers, the application process for subsidies has also been simplified. Any senior living in a 3-room HDB flat or smaller will automatically qualify for 90% subsidy for devices that cost less than $500. All other seniors will still need to undergo a detailed household income means test.
Seniors are eligible if the following criteria are met:
How do I apply?
Those currently undergoing therapy sessions with qualified therapist(s) or with access to a regular assessor in the restructured hospitals, community hospitals or other Intermediate and Long Term Care service providers, can approach your assessor to put up a SMF application assessment for you.
Alternatively, you can contact AIC directly at 6603 6800 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com to apply. Transport Subsidy (ENHANCED):Seniors are eligible if the following criteria are met:
To apply or for more information, please approach the Therapist/Centre Manager of the above-mentioned centres. If the criterion is met, the centre staff will assist to apply for the subsidy.
Consumables Subsidy (NEW)
The list of consumables includes catheters, milk feeds, diapers, thickeners, nasal tubing and various types of wound dressings. With these subsidies, we hope to better support seniors who are eligible for nursing home but wish to age-in-place at home.
To apply or for more information, please approach the Nurse/Centre Manager of the above-mentioned centres. If the criterion is met, the centre staff will assist to apply for the subsidy.
For further enquiries, you can contact AIC directly at 6603 6800 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Known as the "Amazon Web Services Management Console for Android," it provides a summary of important information such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud instances, CloudWatch alarms, service charges and the AWS Service Health status.
Management capabilities include the ability to stop and reboot EC2 instances, and the ability to view CloudWatch graphs to gauge the health of resources and identify trends. In addition, the AWS Management Console also offers the ability to switch between users, in order to see the resources in multiple accounts.
The app does not yet have more advanced capabilities that may render firing up a PC unnecessary should problems pop up. Administrators are not currently able to fire up additional instances to handle traffic spikes from within the app, for example. However, the team says it plans to aggressively add new features and asked that users offer their feedback using the feedback link within the app.
Not surprisingly, Amazon cautioned administrators--who have enabled multi-factor authentication--to configure the dynamic passcode to be received on a separate mobile device for the "greatest level" of protection. An alternative would be to use a hardware MFA device.
