I would make sure to have plenty of gauze and tape on hand because the first couple days there is a steady drip of blood that comes out your nostrils. This only lasted a couple days on me and is normal. If you have straws, those are... READ COMMENT

Breakdown: Since 2008, the reality series "Wipeout" has been a mainstay for ABC, with the network airing 148 episodes of the obstacle-course-challenge show over seven seasons. Despite recent rumblings that season eight has been cancelled due to low viewership (neither confirmed nor denied by ABC), the brand, pairing with what was formerly ROC (Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge) Race, has taken to the streets with a nationwide race series called WIPEOUTRUN.
Setting up shop in the parking lots surrounding U.S. Cellular Field for the Chicago leg of this tour, thousands of participants paraded through a course consisting of giant inflatable obstacles with names like "Big Balls," "Sweeper" and "Foam of Fury." And though many of these certainly have the right to be called obstacles, there are also a number that are just entertaining water park rides—from the inner-tube-driven Tumble Tubes to the epic finale slide christened Happy Endings.
Though billed as a 5K, the course, which wound its way around a series of cones and fences, registered as only slightly longer than two miles by my measure. Still, lines at various obstacles extended completion time to at least a forty-five minute experience. Individual costumes and team themes provided an extra level of entertainment on the course, along with pounding music and the fun of watching other participants… wipe out.

I was wondering what sort of rare, unusual, flight safety card(s) do you own. Currently I am trying to obtain a flight safety card from Ariana Afghan Airlines. Does anyone have any advice for my quest? I have written to Ariana many times, but they always tell me that they cannot send me a card. Can anyone offer any assistance? Thank you.

I thought I'd wake up and post a new thread, recently requested, and hope it sparks some comment.
Like most here, I have some carefully chosen and much enjoyed bikes. They're in storage in UK. Spouse and I are travelling, and have included some bike riding since we left BAHRAIN in early January.
(I know this deserves photos - forgive me, I'm travelling with just a little device called a kindle and I'm not sure if sending photos is within its capabilities)
Anyway, so far bike rides have included Barclays rental bikes in London (heavy and a bit wonky but nice to spin alongside the Thames), a friend's Jamis Bosanova in the Yorkshire Dales (fantastic countryside,fantastic bike,suited me down to the ground), a dahon folder to explore Fort Lauderdale Fla. , (I was seriously impressed), unbranded beach cruisers in GRAN CAYMAN and Curacau (I was . Seriously unimpressed), a Trek District to explore Lima (great city, great city bike), a Trek somethingmountain bike to speed down a volcano off-road outside Arequipa Peru (fantastic day, but rather a tired bike), and most recently a Specialized downhill bike, maybe a Status??, to blast down the Camino del Muerte outside La Paz. Very confidence inspiring bike, which is just as well - steep and rocky unsurfaced road with 1000metre precipices, dropping from 4500 metres to 1450 metres over 62 kms. Whizzy.
And I've loved the variety of new bikes, many of styles and types I've never owned. Next will be a bike tour of the vineyards in Chile!
(I know I don't deserve it. But I' 've 25 years in offshore platforms and refineries in the Middle east to get over!)
(And in another thread - now 66 kilos. 78 when I left BAHRAIN!)

Low Blood Pressure: A Typical Night in the ER (cont.)
Norepinephrine bitartrate (Levophed) is a drug that acts like adrenaline on the body, and will cause the blood vessels to constrict or narrow, to support the blood pressure is started intravenously. It will also put a strain on his heart, not necessarily something we want to do since he has had heart problems, but there isn't much choice.
More fluids... more oxygen...more time. The blood pressure creeps up to the mid-80s...success? He's more alert, and the catheter that was placed in his bladder is starting to show signs of urine. That means his kidneys are receiving enough blood supply to produce urine, and they are sensing that there is starting to be enough fluid in the body to allow that to happen.
The intensive care team has shown up at the bedside. He will be theirs in ICU, and it's time to start transitioning responsibility to them. His systolic blood pressure is 90 now, and the heart rate is down to 100. Things are looking up, but who knows for how long. He's older, undergoing a lot of stress, and still needs machines to help him breathe and medications to support his blood pressure. But he's alive when he leaves the ER; another win.
The next ambulance call comes in.

There's a lot of buzz regarding employee engagement and retention these days. As Vanessa Graf has demonstrated at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, successfully engaging workers happens when you listen to their concerns.
By expanding the emergency relief agency's employee viewpoint survey to the entire workforce, Graf helped FEMA's leaders to get a better overall understanding of employee morale and satisfaction levels. Graf, 29, meshed data analysis with plain-old conversation to find solutions to morale issues plaguing the agency. Her efforts were recognized by FEMA as well as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Graf also has spent time in the field during emergencies, managing Homeland Security employee teams who delivered provisions, cots and blankets while also communicating FEMA programs and services to residents in need. Because of Graf's many contributions, FEMA is seen as a leader in best practices among Homeland Security agencies.
"Ms. Graf often tackles the HR projects many shy away from and does not hesitate to choose the road less traveled to deliver optimum results," says Robert Gunning, human resources specialist with the Department of Homeland Security, in his reference letter.

Check out appoLearning.com, because your kids deserve the very best educational apps!
The Bank of America iPhone app is a direct port of their iPhone web app. No extra bells and whistles have been added. The only major difference that occurs is that when you select a link to follow, you won't have to see all the work Safari would be doing to load the next page.
While there isn't much more functionality that needs to be added to the mobile banking solution for Bank of America, it seems awkward that they would choose not to take advantage of a native iPhone apps capabilities.
All of your account information is still presented in the same fashion that it is on the mobile app. That means that you're still reading straight text on a white screen. On the regular web version of their site, the information is displayed to you in a very neat and easy to follow manner. This app could have easily reformatted the information to follow that styling and made everything much more appealing.
Nothing is lost in the transition to native app, but nothing is gained at the same time. It's not as if you can view the information for your account without being able to access the internet, so there really isn't any benefit over having a bookmark icon to the web app. If you have Bank of America, you'll probably download this app and simply enjoy it for providing you with the information you need. But if you don't, this isn't going to convince you to go sign up for a new account or anything special like that.

Asus Kickoff: Eee Keyboard with PC
Asus introduced a PC-in-keyboard model at the CeBIT 2009 show in Munich. The device, with its five-inch side-mounted touchscreen, targets home theater users.
Combined with a TV or monitor the Eee Keyboard can be a multimedia player, provided it can communicate via ultrawide HDMI or wireless. The device also includes a speaker and mic.
Asus considers the Keyboard a novelty and in a new device class, with the multimedia setup fitting into the Touch Based Computing market. The Keyboard is still in its test phase and Asus declines to offer specs or a price; they didn't have a model handy at the show. Perhaps the summer, end of Q2, they say. Its first release phase will come with Windows XP Home. According to product manager Jörg Wissing, a Linux version is possible, considering that other Eee PC models already have Linux on board.

What was the research process like for the film? Did you have your cast read any Jane Austen?
I think they all quickly watched Colin Firth's version again. Keri reread some Austen novels in pieces to just refresh her memory. And I did, of course, and I watched every adaptation known to man and [read] all the books. And that's how I got familiar with J.J. Feild, from Mr. Tilney [in "Northanger Abbey"]. We wanted to be educated enough so that we could mess it up.
Right, and that's a lot of what Jennifer's character is about. She's sort of playing the well-meaning ditz but she needs to know, as an actor, everything that's right about Regency culture to get it all wrong.
In rehearsals, we had this historian come and teach us about manners and decorum and about the history of the time and it was so dull we were like [mimics snickering] "We got it! We got it! We're ready to go!" I guess I really don't want to live in this time where it's like, all day you would sew. I'm like, oh yeah, that is the joke. That it's kind of dull.
You have a mixed cast, some from a background of period pieces, like J.J. Field, and some people you think of as more modern actors, like Jennifer Coolidge and Bret McKenzie from "Flight of the Conchords." How did you assemble this group of people?
It was a real hot mess -- it was great. It was me calling friends in the end, like, "Will you be in this?" And of course Jennifer always had to be in it. She didn't believe me that I was making this movie. Her agents would never get back to me, I think they thought it was fake, until she was like "What? You're really doing a movie? I didn't believe you." And I was like "Well, Jennifer, I've been trying for a while. I've been trying to get your people for a while."
Keri I had known, and she's just so sweet and in "Waitress" she was just so earnest and sweet and simple, she seems like she could be every girl. Even though she's gorgeous and no one is that girl, you think "I could be her." And then we had an English casting director who hooked us up with these English people who have done it. Georgia King had been in a Dickens "Little Dorrit" production. James Callis has done theater in England, and then "Battlestar Galactica," of course. He was in "Bridget Jones's Diary." So I knew he was going to be funny. You have to mix it. It's a British film. It's about a bunch of Brits and then these unknowing Americans that come to it so you sort of have to play with that.
So, you are really experienced with fan culture.
Not as much as [producer] Stephenie [Meyer].
What were you trying to say to Jane Austen fans? The movie opens with a scene in Keri's room, and it's bedecked with letters spelling Mr. Darcy on the wall, a life-size cut out of Colin Firth, and at first you see that and go "Woah!" but also you don't want to alienate someone whose room might really be like that.
You don't want to go too far. And it's not that her room was bad. But she was alienating friends and not moving on emotionally and intimately in her life with relationships. She was just stuck. She had a real case of arrested development. And that's the problem. It's not how many teacups you have shadowboxed in your house. That's fine.
I mean, I went in that room for the first time and I was like "Oh my gosh, I could live here!" It was so cute, and I was like, "Who wouldn't want that as their own little private space?" It's so sweet and beautiful. And that was just a means to get her to be like "Oh, if I change my room that means I'm changed inside." But it was just inside she needed to open herself up, move on, and have healthy relationships. So, you know, to the fans: dress up. Do whatever you want. These girls don't dress up every day. They don't go to their jobs like that. It's just what they do in their spare time.
It's their release.
Exactly. I did it with "Battlestar." I had an arrested development party where we all dressed up as characters. It's fun. It's fun and we all need a little outlet, and I hope the fans still love it even though we are kind of saying "Tsk tsk" to the overly enthusiastic…
Don't go too far.
Exactly. And it's for every fan. It's not just the Jane Austen fans. It's for anything that goes too far.

Can someone explain which bottom bracket/chainset I need, I'm having problems getting anything to wor.
Let me expplain.
I have an old MTB with a tange frame that I always thought rode quite well. I fancy turning it into a tourer/road bike. Trouble is it has a small Acerta x chainring. It's way too low for real road use. I've tried changing it, though, and nothing else seems to fit properly - or rather, I cant get the deurailier to move to the outside ring. It runs out of travel. All the newer chainsets I've tried seem to have the chainrings further out than the original one I have.
Anyonew know if it's fixable. I've tried a wider BB (one I had hangong around, and it's not much wider) but it still doesn;t work.

One potato, two potato, three potato, four! Oh, alright. I'll stop my silliness this instant. And please forgive me in advance—I'm deliriously intoxicated by the wintery Holiday season, as it so beautifully ushers in so much wonderful, cozy food, that I can barely contain myself. But before I digress, let me get back to my original premise: the potato. Don't most of us have a love affair with potatoes? Let's be honest; of all the foods that people tend to be picky about, potatoes are generally ... {more please!}
Food for LOVE's sake.

Insoluble fiber, also known as cellulose, is the part of a plant that can not be broken down by the body's digestive process and therefore forms into stool to pass out of the body. By adding bulk to the stools, insoluble fiber acts like a scrub brush to help maintain the health of the intestines. Experts recommend 20 – 35 grams of total fiber daily, with the majority of it coming from insoluble fiber sources. The following foods have the highest insoluble fiber content.
Bran Flakes
There is a reason why Grandma swears by her daily bowl of All Bran. Containing nine grams of insoluble fiber per half cup serving, it is the single food with the highest amount of insoluble fiber. Try it with milk for breakfast, mixed with yogurt for a snack, or crumbled on top of a casserole at dinner. Note: not appropriate for those who need to avoid gluten! Read on for gluten-free sources of insoluble fiber.
Lentils are a nearly perfect food as they are low in fat while high in protein, vitamins, and fiber, especially insoluble fiber. In a half cup of cooked lentils, there are seven grams of insoluble fiber, roughly 25 percent of your daily requirement.
Popcorn (unbuttered) is known as a dieter's treat because it mainly consists of insoluble fiber. This means you can eat quite a bit of popcorn without absorbing many calories as the fiber just passes directly through the body and into the stool. In four cups of popcorn, there are three grams of insoluble fiber.
Root Vegetables
Insoluble fiber is concentrated in the skins of root vegetables, such as turnips, sweet potatoes and parsnips. When cooked with their skins, just a half cup serving of turnips contains three grams of insoluble fiber. A half cup serving of cooked sweet potatoes contains 2.5 grams, while the same amount of parsnips contains two grams of insoluble fiber.
Apples can vary in their content of insoluble fiber, depending on the size and variety of the apple. Most sources site a range of two to four grams of insoluble fiber in one apple. The insoluble fiber is in the skin of the apple, thus applesauce only has one gram of insoluble fiber in a half cup serving.
In one ounce of almonds (equal to about twenty nuts), there are two grams of insoluble fiber. Nuts and seeds in general are good sources of both insoluble and soluble fibers, but exercise caution with the portion size as they also are dense in calories from fat.

MAGNOLIA, Miss. (AP) — Beacham Memorial Hospital has shuttered its outpatient clinic in Osyka but officials say the main medical center in Magnolia is not closing for now.
Beacham administrator Emmett Hennessey tells the Enterprise-Journal (http://bit.ly/1kuYumD ) shutting down the Osyka clinic Monday resulted in three layoffs. At Beacham, Hennessey says two or three employees are voluntarily leaving and the remaining staff of about 100 will work fewer hours.
Beacham chief of staff Dr. Luke Lampton says at least 85 percent of the hospital's patients qualify for Medicare and a reduction in reimbursements is a major financial hit.
Lampton says there are ongoing discussions with local leaders, lawmakers and hospital officials at other facilities in Mississippi to find a new funding method for private, not-for-profits like Beacham — whether through partnerships, grants, loans or donations.

Anderson Cooper Jumps on the Rotating Co-Host Bandwagon
A name change, an additional rotating host and a new live format are in store for "Anderson," the hour-long daily syndicated talk show helmed by Anderson Cooper. For its second season, the show, now "Anderson Live," is also being moved from The Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center to the CBS Broadcast Center on the stage formerly occupied by "The Nate Berkus Show."
The first co-host is Tony Award winner Kristin Chenoweth. She left CBS's "The Good Wife" after an on-set injury, and will be joining Cooper on Sept. 10, when the second season premieres.
Other recently announced co-hosts that will share the stage with Cooper include Goldie Hawn, Howie Mandel, Kelly Osbourne, Cyndi Lauper, D.L. Hughley, Kellie Pickler and Erin Andrews.
They join the roster of previously announced celebrity guests who include Richard Gere, Beyonce, Jake Gyllenhaal, Claire Danes, Meg Ryan, Ben Affleck, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Kerry Washington, Kelsey Grammer, Carol Burnett and Stephen Colbert.
Both Jeff Probst and Katie Couric, who have daytime talk shows launching next month, have made a point of stating their desire to avoid celebrity-promotion style shows.
For the last several months, ABC's "Live! with Kelly Ripa" has been searching for a permanent co-host to join Ripa on her morning show.

Relieved Devils focusing on start of season, not possible cap moves to come
Nothing is certain yet, but as the signs pointed today to the Devils going with only 20 players on their roster to meet Wednesday's 3 p.m. deadline to be under the salary cap, there was a definite feeling of relief among the players that were possible candidates to be moved.
Devils captain Jamie Langenbrunner admited he felt "a little bit" of relief that it appears he will still be with the team when it opens the regular season Friday night at Prudential Center against Dallas..
"It looks like this is what it's going to be going forward for a while," Langenbrunner said. "Everyone will have to fend for their health, but for now the focus is on Friday. All of us in this business know that there's never going to be relief any time, so I don't think it's that's big of a deal for us. (But) we knew something was going to happen or we thought something would, so there's a little bit of relief."
"The way it looked as far as practice today, it looked like that might be the way we're going to start," left wing Brian Rolston said of the team starting the season with a 20-player roster. "I don't know. Nothing has really been said to us. We just come in and prepare ourselves for the first game."
Most of the players insisted they were not thinking a lot about whether they would be moved.
"Personally, I don't care about the uncertainty," Rolston said. "I don't put a lot of stock in it. My approach is I prepare myself the best as I possibly can. I want to contribute wherever I am. It doesn't matter. I think we have to prepare ourselves for a new hockey season. That's what I've done and I don't like to put a lot of thought into where am I going to be or this, that and the other. Am I going to get traded? You deal with it when that time comes. If it does happen, it happens. If I doesn't, I never spent a lot of time thinking about the 'What ifs?'"
"Until somebody tells me differently, I'm here," said Dainius Zubrus, who was shifted from left wing back to center for today's practice.
Zubrus was one of the few players whose name was mentioned as a possible cap casualty that didn't have a no-trade clause in his contract. Rolston and Langenbrunner do and neither was approached at any point about waiving his no-trade cause.
"It's part of the situation we're in," Langenbrunner said. "I think all of us I wouldn't say bonded over it, but felt for each other that we were in that situation. I think it was frustrating for all of us waiting for something to happen, but, at the same time, it's part of the job."
Of course, the solution of putting defensemen Bryce Salvador (concussion) and Anssi Salmela (torn ACL, meniscus) on long-term injured reserve -- something that has not happened yet -- is likely only a short-term solution to the team's cap woes. And there is still a chance that Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello makes a cap-space-clearing move before Friday's opener against Dallas anyway.
"We all know that when Sal gets healthy, something is going to have to happen," Langenbrunner said. "Of course, you want him to feel better and, hopefully, it will be soon and then we'll have to movve forward. But, as of now, we play a lot of guys real quick and we need to be thinking of that and not what's going to happen a month from now or whenever (if placed on LTIR a player must miss at least 10 games and 24 days). So, we have to go with that focus in those 10 games and worry about it after."
The Devils do play six games in nine days to open the season. Going with the roster the way it is will be risky, though, because if a player is injured, but not seriously enough to go on LTIR, they won't have the cap space to call another one up to replace him.
"There's no (safety) net in a game with 20 players anyway," Langenbrunner said. "I don't think you're thinking of that safety net. That can be solved by a phone call. The minor league is not too far away from here. I think we're happy with the 20 we've got here. We've got some experience. We've got some pretty talented players. We have some young guys that are young and ready to go. I think it's a pretty good mix."
"The situation is what it is," said defenseman Colin White, another player who was a potential cap casualty. "We're just sitting here and we're getting ready for the season and we're excited about it...We'll deal with whatever comes. There's going to be injuries throughout a season. There always are. We just have to battle through them and stay focused as a group for every game."
At this point, with forward Adam Mair still practicing with the team, but unsigned, the Devils have 11 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders -- which would meet the NHL's minimum requirement of 20 players on the roster.
Playing without four complete forward lines might not be ideal, but as goaltender Martin Brodeur pointed out, the Devils have several forwards that thrive on playing heavy minutes. And they are paid well to do so.
"Look at our top three lines," Brodeur said. "(Langenbrunner) at $2.8 million is the lowest-paid guy. (Actually, it's David Clarkson at $2,666,666).. It's amazing."
The Devils just announced that defenseman Rob Davison, who cleared waivers earlier today, has been assigned to Albany of the AHL.

Re: Canvas suggestions for Epson K3
Wondered if I might join in.
I found your post via a search 'canvas'. I too am interested in producing some canvas prints from a Epson 4880.
Has anyone tried the Epson Exhibition Canvas Matte or Satin?
Pros and Cons you've discovered or is the aforementioned canvas a superior product?
If so, what profile is used?
Thanks in advance for shedding some light.

|How does this benefit Australians?
|Passed the "Water Trigger" Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Amendment Bill 2013
|Gives the Federal Government the ability to nix Coal mining and Coal Seam Gas "fracking" projects that may endanger water resources. Drought is the norm here in Australia, despite the recent few years of good rain, and coal is something best left in the ground according to leading climate scientists.
|Australia now has its first ever national Space Industry Policy as of April 2013
|Public and private services associated with space technologies enable much of our day-to-day life. Satnavs, GPS enabled phones and mapping services like Google Earth, are becoming increasingly central to personal navigation and planning, and enable critical capabilities that underpin Australia's economic security.
|The National Broadband Network — projected total cost $37.4b, Government contribution $30.4b
|Wiring up every house and business in Australia to super-fast broadband, without penalising those who live in the outback, has benefits for us all, many of which have not even been invented yet.
|Building the Education Revolution — 7,920 schools: 10,475 projects completed with over a 97% satisfaction rate
|As part of a national economic stimulus program, the Government chose to invest heavily in new facilities for schools right across the country. This had the twin effect of both stimulating the economy, helping stave off the effects of the global financial crisis which swept through the rest of the world, while improving the lives of many hundreds of thousands of children right across Australia.
|Gonski – Education funding reform
|The Gonski reforms will ensure that all Australian schools get the funding they need to improve the educational outcomes for all young Australians, no matter where they live.
|National Disability Insurance Scheme — DisabilityCare
|Making sure all Australians have a place in our society by insuring against the onset of a disability.
|The Mineral Rent Resource Tax and aligned Petroleum Resource Rent Tax
|The mining boom was not being shared with all Australians effectively. Economic modelling by the Treasury as well as independent modelling by KPMG has found that the restructured mining tax could see the average worker gain about $450 a year, due to the flow-on results of cuts in company tax and tax breaks for small businesses.
|Earned a seat on the United Nations Security Council
|Australia's status as both an economic powerhouse and fair-player has been recognised by its inclusion on the UN's Security Council. This benefits all Australians.
|Ratified the Kyoto treaty
|Australia was in danger of being regarded as an environmental pariah, making our exports less desirable, and our citizens less welcome around the world. By ratifying Kyoto, the Government showed the world that we are willing to be part of the solution, not just part of the problem.
|Signatory to the Bali Process and Regional Framework
|By signing up to the Bali Process and Regional Framework, Australia again demonstrated its willingness to tackle the scourge of human trafficking.
|Eradicated WorkChoices
|WorkChoices was manifestly unfair to both employees and to business owners, and was widely reviled across Australia. The Government eliminated this hated legislation.
|Established Fair Work Australia
|Fair Work Australia put in place a fair, balanced system that allowed workers to negotiate with employers in mediated dialogue, leading to fairer employment conditions for all Australians.
|Established a price on carbon pollution which has already contributed to an 8.6% reduction in emissions from stationary energy since July last year
|To meet its Kyoto obligations, and to effectively reduce carbon emissions from Australian activity, the Government instituted a price on carbon pollution, to be paid by the nation's top emitters. It also restructured the tax base to ensure that most Australians were not financially disadvantaged.
|Established a national network of reserves and parks
|Australians all love the outdoors, and our country has some of the world's rarest and most endangered animals and plants. The Government has ensured that our natural beauty will be there in the future for all Australians to enjoy.
|Created the world's largest network of marine parks
|Fish stocks are being depleted world-wide. Australia has the largest coastline of any country, and leveraged this advantage for the benefit of all the world.
|Introduced the Reef Rescue program
|Reef Rescue represents a coordinated approach to environmental management in Australia and is the single largest commitment ever made to address the threats of declining water quality and climate change to the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
|National apology to the indigenous people of Australia regarding the "stolen generations"
|The long-overdue apology honoured the Indigenous peoples of this land and reflected in particular on the mistreatment of those who were stolen from their homes under government policy, saying "For the pain, suffering and hurt of these Stolen Generations, their descendants and for their families left behind, we say sorry".
|Increased superannuation contributions from 9% to 12%
|For most Australians, their Super is the only money they'll have after their working life is over. We are living longer, and we need to set more aside for a longer retirement.
|Changed 85 laws to remove discrimination against same sex couples
|Discrimination because of anyone's sexuality is both unfair and also adds an economic burden on all Australians. All Australians need to be treated equally in the eyes of the law.
|Introduced a national plan to reduce violence against women and children
|Women and children suffer violence far more often than adult men do, and this just has to stop.
|Improved the Sex and Age Discrimination Act
|Discrimination because of anyone's gender or their age is unfair, and also adds an economic burden on all Australians. All Australians need to be treated equally in the eyes of the law.
|Introduced plain packaging of cigarettes
|Smoking cigarettes is one of the worst things you can do for your health. Cigarettes themselves are addictive, and aggressively promoted, especially to young people, as being cool. Plain packaging is a bold experiment to try to curb this scourge.
|Legislated equal pay for social and community workers, resulting in them receiving pay increases of up to 45%
|Social workers care for our society's least advantaged people, and they were being paid dismally for their fine and difficult work.
|Legislated Australia's first paid parental leave scheme
|Women and men alike were being forced out of the workforce, simply because they, or their partner was having a child. This legislation brings Australia into line with other first world nations, and is manifestly fairer.
|Established a $10 billion renewable energy fund
|It's as obvious as the balls on a dog that there is no future in coal, and that Australia needs to radically overhaul its ageing energy infrastructure to remain competitive. Renewable energy is the future, and if we are to continue to prosper we need skin in that game.
|Legislated Murray/Darling Basin plan (finally, after one hundred years of trying.)
|The Murray Darling river system is sick. Use of vital fresh water has been mismanaged for many years. The Murray Darling plan is the first genuine attempt to fix that, for the benefit of all Australians.
|Increased higher education funding by 50%
|Investment in Australian education had been underwhelming for years until these vital reforms.
|Established direct electoral enrolment
|Some people simply forget to enrol to vote, and so miss out come election day. Now the Government uses data from other departments to keep the electoral roll up to date; saving you time, and ensuring you never miss out.
|Created 190,000 more University places
|A better educated population makes better choices about its collective future. Australian innovation is world-famous, and more places at Uni mean less chance of you or your kids' missing out.
|Funded a computer for every year 9 — 12 student
|It's impossible to overestimate the impact computers have had on education. Your kids deserve properly equipped schools and classrooms. This deal has expired now for grade 9 kids, but it was a fabulous boost at the time.
|Established the 'My School' program
|A valuable tool for educators and communities to understand what is going on inside classrooms. The site's greatest utility remains its power to spark the sort of conversations which lead to better outcomes for students.
|Established a national curriculum
|For the first time education standards have been equalised between the states, allowing for more transferrable skills, and a higher degree of social mobility for all students.
|Established the National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy
|The NAPLAN provides a way for governments, education authorities and schools to determine whether or not your kids are meeting their vital educational outcomes.
|Increased health funding by 50%
|The Government increased healthcare spending by more than $20 billion, or 50%, from the previous Australian Health Care Agreement, with direct benefits to all Australians.
|Legislated the 'Living Longer — Living Better' aged care reforms
|We are all living longer, and caring for our elderly is what compassionate societies do. We'll all benefit from these reforms if we live long enough.
|Legislated the National mental health reform package
|A stronger, more transparent, accountable, efficient and effective mental health system benefits all Australians, even those not suffering from a mental illness.
|Legislated Dental Care package
|No-one likes having broken teeth, but too many Australians were avoiding their dentist due to expense. Now all Australians can smile with confidence.
|Created 90 Headspace sites for young people with mental health issues
|Mental health problems can ruin young lives, and the lives of everyone around them. By setting up a network of services across the country to support young people dealing with depression, substance abuse and other mental health issues, we all benefit.
|Created the Medicare Locals program
|We all benefit from this nation-wide network of primary health care organisations that supports health professionals, improves delivery of primary care services at a local level, and improves access to after hours primary care.
|Created the Aussie Jobs package
|Three core strategies to create more jobs today, and to create skilled and rewarding jobs for the future.
|Created the Kick-Start Initiative for apprentices
|An employer incentive designed to increase the number of Australian Apprenticeship commencements in skills shortage areas of the building and construction industries and in skills shortage engineering trades.
|Funded A New Car Plan for a Greener Future, providing vital industry support
|A comprehensive plan to assist the car industry to invest in the technologies of tomorrow, bringing every player in the industry together in a partnership to reshape the industry and deliver enduring benefits to all Australians.
|Created Infrastructure Australia
|Infrastructure Australia brings major project developers and Government together to ensure that projects that are federally funded adhere to strict guidelines, and are in line with the nation's priorities.
|Established a nation building program involving 350 major projects
|The biggest capital works program in Australian history, with huge investment in roads, rail, ports, and many other projects that directly contribute to Australian efficiency and productivity.
|Doubled the Federal Roads budget ($36b) resulting in 7,500km of improved roads
|The biggest capital works program in Australian history, doubled the road budget with more than 7,500 km of new and improved roads, targeting those that deliver the greatest safety and productivity benefits.
|Rebuilding ⅓ of our interstate rail freight network
|4,000 kilometres of sturdy track that doesn't buckle in the Australian heat, and replacing millions of decaying wooden sleepers with stable concrete ones. Combine this with additional passing loops and the elimination of steep curves, and rail is once again becoming a viable means of carrying freight.
|Committed more to urban passenger rail than any government since Federation
|Rail is safe, fast, and efficient, when used properly. Getting cars off the roads means driving is safer for the rest of us. Trains are cheaper to run, and are the backbone of many modern public transport systems.
|Developed a National Ports Strategy
|Streamlining how goods get into, and leave the country is vital for Australian productivity. As an island nation, our ports are Australia's gateway to the world. A nationally coordinated approach to the planning and development of port infrastructure is essential for Australia's future economic growth.
|Developed a National Land Freight Strategy
|Australia is a large land mass far from its international markets. The ability to efficiently and reliably move goods through supply chains, particularly to and from these markets, substantially determines our productivity and economic performance.
|Created Australia's first ever Aviation White Paper
|The first ever comprehensive aviation policy statement issued by any Australian government, bringing together all strands of aviation policy into a single, forward-looking document providing planning, regulatory and investment certainty for the aviation industry out to 2020 and beyond.
|Revitalised Australian Shipping
|The most significant overhaul of our coastal trading arrangements since they were introduced early last century, making transparent the decision making processes, which determine a foreign vessel's participation in Australian domestic shipping.
|Reduced transport regulators from 23 to 3, saving $30b over 20 years
|The Australian road transport industry employs more than 220,000 people and is a vital link between our factories and our cities, between our farms and mines, and our ports.
|Introduced the National Infrastructure Construction Schedule
|The first-ever national government infrastructure project pipeline. A collaborative effort between the Commonwealth, state and territory governments, and local government, the NICS provides industry with information on major infrastructure projects committed by governments across the country in a dynamic, easy-to-use manner.
|Australia has moved from twentieth in 2007, to second in the OECD infrastructure ranking
|While other nations are suffering from their failures to invest in appropriate infrastructure, Australia has been future-proofing itself now, using the proceeds of its mining boom, to ensure it has long-term viability.
|Awarded International Infrastructure Minister of the Year (2012 Albanese)
|International acclaim for our Government is something all Australians can be proud of.
|Awarded International Finance Minister of the Year (2011 Swan)
|International acclaim for our Government is something all Australians can be proud of. Under Swan's watch the nation avoided the worst economic meltdown in the world's history.
|Introduced Anti-dumping and countervailing system reforms
|Australia has an export driven economy, and an anti—dumping system is the only means by which unfair market behaviour can be deterred at the global level.
|Legislated Household Assistance Package
|This provides ongoing increases to regular government payments for families, seniors, and individuals to commence between March 2013 and January 2014; improving the lives of tens of thousands of Australians.
|Introduced the School Kids Bonus
|Helps struggling families afford their education costs. The benefits are automatically paid in January and July each year to eligible families and students with no need to make a claim.
|Increased the Childcare rebate
|Working families sometimes need help securing appropriate childcare. This rebate helps them do that by covering up to 50% of your out of pocket child care expenses, up to a maximum amount per child per year, over and above any amount you already receive from Child Care Benefit and/or Jobs, Education and Training (JET) Child Care Fee Assistance.
|Allocated $6b to Social Housing (20,000 homes)
|The Social Housing Initiative serves both to stimulate the economy, and create affordable housing for some of our least advantaged citizens.
|Provided $5b to Support for Homelessness
|Can you even imagine being homeless? Can you imagine any circumstances that might render you homeless? It's something that can happen to anyone. People who are homeless often find themselves between service systems. They have lost housing, cannot find work, may have chronic health conditions or been victims of repeated abuse or violence.
|Established National Rental Affordability Scheme ($4.5b)
|A long term commitment by the Australian Government in partnership with the States and Territories, to invest in affordable rental housing for low income families.
|Introduced Closing the Gap to improve the lives of indigenous Australians
|Many Indigenous Australians have a good standard of living, but far too many experience unacceptable levels of disadvantage in living standards, life expectancy, education, health, and employment. Life expectancy for Indigenous Australians is lower than the non-Indigenous population by approximately 11.5 years for males and 9.7 years for females. This gap must be closed.
|Preparing a pathway for Constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians
|The Australian Constitution is the foundation document for our laws and our government, but is silent on the special place of our first Australians. To build the momentum needed for successful constitutional change, on 13 February 2013, the House of Representatives passed the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Recognition Bill 2012.
|Provided the highest pension increase in 100 years
|The most recent pension increase took effect from 20 March 2013. It resulted in an increase of $35.80 a fortnight for single pensioners and $54.00 a fortnight for pensioner couples combined on the maximum rate. This new system of indexation, along with the Government's pension reform boosts, has delivered pension increases of around $207 per fortnight for single pensioners and around $236 per fortnight for pensioner couples combined, since September 2009.
|Created 900,000 new jobs
|There are more Australians in work than ever before and our jobs growth is at least twice as fast as any of the major advanced economies. The Government has repeatedly funded programs that contribute to the creation of new jobs in Australia, allowing the skills of almost all Australians to be properly valued.
|Established the National Jobs Board
|In this highly mobile age it's important to be able to look for work anywhere. The national jobs board allows employers to list jobs, and job-seekers to find them.
|Allocated $9b for skills and training over 5 years
|Gives more students the opportunity to earn the basic qualifications they need for a decent job in a higher-skills economy, and enables taxpayers to be assured of efficient and effective spending.
|Established Enterprise Connect for small business
|Offers comprehensive, confidential advice and support to eligible Australian small and medium businesses to help them transform and reach their full potential.
|Appointed Australia's first Small Business Commissioner
|The Commissioner provides information, assistance, advocacy and representation of small business interests within the Australian Government.
|Introduced immediate write-off of assets costing less than $6,500 for small businesses
|Enables eligible small businesses to write-off depreciating assets costing less than $6,500 in the income year in which they start to use the asset, or have it installed ready for use.
|Introduced $5,000 immediate write-off for Small Business vehicles over $6,500
|You can choose to use your small business's capital allowance provisions to calculate the deduction for a motor vehicle costing $6,500 or more that you start to use, or have installed ready for use, for a taxable purpose.
|Introduced Small business $1m loss carry-back for tax rebate from previous year
|To help generally profitable small companies going through a temporary downturn the Tax Office now allows them to 'carry back' losses of up to $1 million.
|Legislated Australian Consumer law
|Standardised national laws that address unfair contract terms, guaranteeing consumer rights, product safety, lay-by agreements, and unsolicited consumer agreements covering door-to-door sales and telephone sales.
|Introduced a national levy to assist Queensland with reconstruction
|We were all horrified by the recent floods in Brisbane and other Queensland towns, and saddened by the loss of life that resulted. We all pitched in to help (as Queensland failed to insure itself against the damage), because that's what mates do. Yo, way to go.
|Standardised national definition of flood for insurance purposes
|We all know insurance companies will do almost anything they can to avoid paying up. Flood damage in particular was loosely defined and inconsistent, which allowed many insurers to skip out on payments. The Government put a stop to that.
|Created Tourism 2020
|Australia's tourism sector has been hit hard by the rise in the dollar, triggered largely by the mining boom. Also much of our tourism infrastructure is ageing. All that chintz in rural B&Bs springs to mind. Tourism 2020 assists tourism businesses to remain competitive into the future. If it could convince hotels to offer free wifi too, that'd help.
|Completed Australia's first feasibility study on high speed rail
|Europe, Russia, Asia, Africa, Latin America and the USA all have comprehensive rail networks, so why don't we? The Government finally decided to take a look at this, and who knows, maybe in 20 years or so, I can get a train to Sydney that doesn't suck.
|Established the Exporter Supply Chain Assurance Scheme to provide traceability and accountability for live animal exports
|We all saw that Four Corners episode that brought home the horrors of the live animal export market. The Government responded by making it harder for unethical animal exporters to allow such cruelty to go on. Why? Because it was the right thing to do.
|Established a Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse
|Some of our most vulnerable citizens have had their lives shattered by the very people in whose trust they were placed, with the churches, and other institutions conspiring in cover-ups. The Royal Commission will investigate where systems have failed to protect children, and make recommendations on how to improve laws, policies, and practices to prevent, and better respond to child sexual abuse in institutions.
|Established the National Crime Prevention Fund
|Crime costs Australians around $32 billion per year. The NCPF is a $40 million component of the Australian Government's package of measures to address gang violence and street crime in the community.
|Lowered personal income taxes. The average family now pays $3,500 less p.a. than in 2007
|The Government has put in place a series of major reforms to build a stronger, fairer, and simpler tax system that we all benefit from.
|Raised the tax-free threshold from $6,000 to $18,200
|This means if you earn less than $18,200 in a financial year, you do not need to pay income tax. If you earn more than $18,200 in a financial year, you will only pay income tax on your earnings over $18,200. Paradoxically this saves the Government millions too due to not having to process over a million small tax returns.
|Australia is now the fifth richest per-capita nation in the known universe
|While most of the rest of the world was going backwards, we surged forwards, becoming the envy of the modern world. We've literally never had it so good.
|For the first time ever Australia has three triple A credit ratings from all three credit agencies
|A better rating means investment is more secure and our money is thus cheaper. Interest rates are lower, and our purchasing power is enhanced. It's also another sign of just how well our economy has been managed by the Government.
|Record long-term low inflation rate
|In Australia, the inflation rate measures a broad rise or fall in prices that consumers pay for a standard basket of goods. Historically, from 1951 until 2013, Australia's Inflation Rate averaged 5.28% reaching an all time high of 23.90% in December of 1951.
|Lowest interest rates in 60 years with the average mortgagee paying $5,000 less p.a. than in 2007
|The benchmark interest rate in Australia was last recorded at 2.75%. Historically, from 1990 until 2013, Australia Interest Rate averaged 5.44% reaching an all time high of 17.5% in January 1990. This means it's easier for businesses to borrow to invest, cheaper to invest in new housing and infrastructure, and the economy as a whole benefits.
|Record low unemployment
|Under the current Government, more Australians are participating in the workforce now than ever before, meaning the nation as a whole is more productive, and we all have more disposable income.
|Lowest debt to GDP ratio in the OECD
|While money is cheap it makes sense to have debt, but a lower debt ratio leaves us better positioned the next time our public debt needs to go up. By borrowing when money was cheap, and funding a range of economic stimulus packages, the Government avoided the global economic crisis that ravaged much of the rest of the world.
|The Australian Dollar is now fifth most traded in the world and is an IMF Reserve Currency
|Trade in a country's currency is correlated to its level of international trade. The fact that our dollar is heavily traded indicates that our exports are highly valued. It connects Australians to bigger export markets. Also the more heavily a currency is traded, the more stable that currency becomes, meaning lower risk for foreign investors.
|One of the world's best performing economies during and since the global financial crisis
|While much of the world slid into economic chaos, the Australian economy continued to grow and Australians prospered.
|Australia now highest ranked for low Sovereign Risk
|International investors can invest with confidence in Australia, meaning that the cost of their investments here is lower than in other countries with higher sovereign risk.
|Overseen the largest fiscal tightening in Australia's history (4.4%)
|The Government has remained committed to reining in expenditure, even during these good economic times. This is just common sense. Thrift is good, even in boom times.
|21 years of continuous economic growth
|The Australian economy has grown at a sustainable 3% per annum for the last 21 years. This is unparalleled anywhere in the world.
|11 years of continuous wages growth exceeding CPI
|For the last 11 years wages have grown faster than inflation. Speaks for itself really.
|Increasing Productivity
|Australian economic productivity has continued to improve, meaning a higher standard of living for all Australians.
|Increasing Consumer Confidence
|The more confident we are at buying stuff, the more stuff we buy, and thus the more money we all make, or something like that.
|Record foreign investment
|When overseas money floods in there's more of it for us to use. We love foreign money, even though we still don't seem to like foreigners themselves much. Can't blame the Government for that though. We are a nation of racist dickheads much of the time.
|Historic levels of Chinese / Australian bilateral relations
|China is our biggest trading partner and the growth of its economy is strongly linked to our own economic growth. We may not like what they've done to Tibet, but we'll turn a blind eye to it if it's going to keep making us money.
|Australia's first female Prime Minister
|Prime Minister Gillard has shown women all over the country that the glass ceiling can be shattered. And man has she copped shit for it. Her ascendancy has really brought the red-necks out of the woodwork, and she's copped more abuse for being a woman than is fair.
|First female Governor General
|Quentin Bryce is the Queen's representative in Australia, and has specific constitutional and statutory powers. Like Prime Minister Gillard, she has demonstrated to women and girls all over Australia that it is possible for a woman to achieve high office in this country.
|First female Attorney General
|Nicola Roxon was appointed as the country's first female Attorney-General only last December, having spent four years running the $60 billion Health Department, and she wasted no time in embarking on a comprehensive agenda of reform, with an ambition to unleash a fairer Australia on the world, expanding civil rights, and reducing poverty and inequality.
|The National Apology to Forgotten Australians and Former Child Migrants
|It is estimated that 500,000 children experienced institutional care in Australia in the twentieth century. Many of these children were horribly mistreated, never achieved due justice as adults, and continue to suffer from debilitating depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, and remain financially and socially disenfranchised.
|Australia is now ranked as the number one country for mining investment
|Based on indicators such as political and economic risk, social issues, bureaucratic hassles, currency stability, and taxation policy, Behre Dolbear Group Inc now considers Australia to be the best place in the world for mining investment.
|Australia is the third 'most free' nation in the Heritage Index of Economic Freedom
|It's easy, safe, and consequently cheaper to do business in Australia than almost anywhere else in the region.
|Australia now has the seventh least risky government to lend to in the world
|Risk is measured in dollars, and so, due to sound economic policy, our Government is considered one of the world's best debtors. That means we can borrow money more cheaply, meaning we can invest more effectively in our own infrastructure.
|Introduced laws to tackle forced marriage, people trafficking and other exploitation
|There is now a maximum penalty of 7 years jail for anyone trying to force vulnerable people into marriage. The laws also include a new standalone forced labour offence, which means that labour exploitation can be prosecuted wherever it occurs, including where the victim is not moved across a border.
|The Minister for Mental Health and Ageing (Butler), honoured with the Alzheimer's Disease International Award
|The work of The Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, Mark Butler, and his ongoing commitment to improving the lives of people living with dementia, has been recognised internationally. This boosts Australia's international reputation and benefits us all.

text: Hi everyone, My question is targeted to understanding Netfilter, because I know that the dropped packets are not impacting on the connection. My firewall is configured like this (showing only the important information): IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT IPTABLES -A FORWARD -p TCP -i $INET -o $LAN --syn --dport http -j ACCEPT and I've been noticing that packets with the ACK PSH flags set are dropped during the connection. I know that it's not because of the connection tracking, since the drops are occurring during the connection, not a long time after the connection, so they are definitely ESTABLISHED packets. And since ESTABLISHED packet should get through, I wonder why those are being blocked. Thanks, Pastorino

What's worse than working for a living? Working, and not making a living at all.
(Photo Credit: Tax Credits/Flickr)
The recent brouhaha over Lean In editor Jessica Bennett soliciting unpaid interns has brought up an interesting point: should internships be paid as a matter of course? Or is job experience -- especially in this harsh employment climate -- its own reward?
Not withstanding the obvious value of internships on a worker's CV, I believe that internships should be paid. Here's why.
Not paying interns amounts to exploitation.
The economy has been in a rough state for half a decade or more. New graduates are famously underemployed and not having job experience makes it that much harder to climb out of the cycle of debt and poverty. Ironically, the very fact of their bad economic circumstances makes it necessary for students and the recently graduated to accept working for no pay, in the hopes of escaping a grim, underemployed future. A pool of workers with no ability to protest their poor treatment = an exploited underclass.
Companies benefit from having interns.
Even though it's now illegal to use interns as unpaid entry-level employees, we all know that many companies get away with doing just that. It's hard to imagine an internship without at least a little bit of grunt work.
Put it this way: even if an intern spends 75 percent of her time doing activities that contribute to her education, could the company really get by without that 25 percent of fetching and hauling? They'd have to pay for that labor.
Bottom line: If internships aren't paid, only the wealthy will be able to be interns.
College is more expensive than ever before, and the vast majority of students don't have families who can pay their tuition and expenses, all year round, including while they're doing unpaid internships.
Nor does every industry revolve around the 9-to-5 job. Ask anyone who has worked in the magazine business -- they'll tell you that "The Devil Wears Prada" is barely fictionalized. This means that students who have to pay their own way might not have time to hold down part-time jobs after their internship work day is over.
Do we really want to force less-affluent students to choose between adding to their already crushing student loan debt and taking their chances on a blank resume after graduation?

text: Home > News and Events > Club Blog > The top three camping essentials for 2014 – so far Search the Club Blog When The top three camping essentials for 2014 – so far The recent National Camping and Caravanning Week (NCCW) has had me thinking about some of the interesting things that have passed my way in 2014 - so far. Here are three of my favourites. 1. Possibly the best camping road atlas in the world Recently I've been using the new road atlas created from a collaboration between Philip's and the Club. It's not the lightest one on the market but that's because it's got so much in it. The scale is 1:100,000 (about 1.6 miles to the inch) and it's wonderfully clear. I've only had it a short while, but it's already saved me an hour by finding a route round a traffic jam between Minehead and the M5, helped me swiftly pin-point a remembered spot from a previous photoshoot and found me the perfect Certificated Site for our front cover photoshoot – none of which would have been easy with my trusty Snooper satnav. 2. The neat cubbyhole on the Ford Custom Transit's dashboard I'm still amazed at this small feature on the new Transit's dashboard. Why hasn't anyone thought of it before? And will there be something similar in the new Fiat Ducato? I've tested a couple of Transit conversions – from Wellhouse Leisure and Auto Campers – this year and loved them both. This cubbyhole has been the icing on the cake. It has a flat top to secure your satnav in a visible position, without obscuring the windscreen, and the clever feature of a gap in the lid so you can plug the charging cable into a 12V socket and keep the cable out of sight. Put this all together with a U-Grip stand and the Philip's roadmap you're all set to find the most remote campsite or intriguing tourist attraction. 3. Pocket Wellies Perhaps this is a little premature since I haven't tried them yet, but the principle is so good I'm putting them in this year's Top Three Of 2014 So Far. Feetz are knee-length overshoes, meaning you can wear something comfortable on your feet but still have waterproof protection if the weather turns. Perfect for a muddy camping field. I'm off to the Hay Festival armed with some Feetz and will report back – weather permitting. But here's hoping I won't need them...

text: The New York Post [1] recently spotlighted a WorkPlace Media [2] poll which found that 76 percent of respondents preferred a male boss. Why? Aside from the old stereotype that a female boss is most likely, to quote the story, "a bitch," Post reporter Mackenzie Dawson wrote: "Dealing with the perception that motherhood is inevitably going to dull a woman's drive is a sad reality of professional life . . . Employees want to feel protected by a manager that's looking out for their best interests – and if a woman is trying to juggle her job with her family, there might be a perception that she won't concentrate on her team." (August 2007)
