Johno Johnson, the former Labor MP, has been selling tickets at ALP state conferences longer than anybody but him can remember.
So yesterday, when the state president Ursula Stephens announced over the speakers that someone had paid $50 for the "wrong series of tickets from Johno's raffle" and could they please return them, nobody blinked an eyelid. After all, ALP conferences are used to arranged tickets, especially when it is in a good cause.
Late yesterday, however, Labor's NSW Senate ticket nearly came up wrong when the all-powerful NSW Right faction was hit by friendly fire. A sizeable bloc of its own supporters shifted votes in a valiant attempt to have Labor's Senate leader and left-winger John Faulkner head the ticket.
Lobbying before the vote had reignited animosities between the factions, prompting Senator Faulkner to end his decade of "self-imposed" exile from internecine war with the Right.
"I'm back," he told the conference at the Sydney Town Hall amid rowdy scenes after he lost top spot to the Right's Senator Steve Hutchins, a backbencher, 393 votes to 406.
Senator Faulkner, regarded as Labor's best performing senator and publicly endorsed by former prime ministers Gough Whitlam and Paul Keating for the top spot, said it was the Left's greatest "victory" since he started attending ALP state conferences in 1971 as a 17-year-old.
He attracted a leakage of 12.8 per cent from tightly controlled Right votes after widespread criticism of the state secretary, the faction's Eric Roozendaal, whose decision to call the Senate ticket election was seen by many delegates as a macho display having no impact on the pair's re-election chances.
Senator Faulkner attacked Mr Roozendaal, indicating his relegation risked sending a message to voters about how NSW Labor valued its leading lights: "[But] knowing the NSW branch as I do, I must be doing something right if they won't wear me."
An unrepentant Mr Roozendaal took the microphone and returned fire: "Unlike you, John Faulkner, I don't tolerate disunity in the branch; I work towards unity. And I say to those delegates who were seduced by phone calls 'I told you'."
Senator Faulkner's speech was the most dramatic event so far at the conference, and while delegates argued about whether or not he would be allowed to speak, Johnson quietly took the stage and unobtrusively drew ticket number 13,993 in his raffle. The prize had not been collected last night.

It is believed EU leaders will press Mr Wolfowitz, currently US deputy defence secretary, on his plans for the job.
Some in Europe have expressed concern at Mr Wolfowitz's appointment, as he was a key architect of the Iraq war.
But it appears likely he will be given the top World Bank job, possibly as early as Thursday.
Since the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were established after the end of World War II, the US has traditionally chosen who will head the former, while Europe chooses the boss of the latter.
Poverty pledge
While Mr Wolfowitz's nomination has raised eyebrows in Europe - Luxembourg's economics minister Jeannot Krecke said there was "some concern" at the situation - his appointment appears a formality.
The informal talks with EU officials in Brussels on Wednesday will give Mr Wolfowitz a chance to smooth the water.
A key "neo-conservative" in President George W Bush's administration, Mr Wolfowitz has already given a newspaper interview in which he pledged he would not use the World Bank job to promote American-style democracy-building.
Instead he told the Jakarta Post he would be focusing solely on tackling global poverty, and pledged to be an "international civil servant".
London's Financial Times newspaper has speculated that EU officials may use their meeting with Mr Wolfowitz to press him to appoint a European deputy at the World Bank.

Sound — 8
The band's sound has strong emphasis on guitars, due mostly because of three guitarists. The guitars seem to fit nicely with the music. Danny Elfman fails to disappoint with his unique voice that manages to sound apart from the music, and rises above so that his morbid emotion can be felt. There other instruments going as well with the guitars such as unique percussion (the beginning to "Insanity"), and addition of brass instruments. The general sound of the album gives off the usual Danny Elfman feel: morbidity, darkness, things we generally don't like to think about. Though, I was taken back by the heavy electric guitars because I mostly know Elfman for his soundtracks with Tim Burton. It seemed to draw away from the sound of Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, The Nightmare Before Christma, and Edward Scissorhands. The band also performs a decently sounding version of The Beatles's song "I am the Walrus". In the end, I found myself liking the band's unexpected musical touches.
Lyrics — 10
The lyrics (which I had to read to understand them better), are probably the most distressing and darkest lyrics I have ever heard. Elfman's voice powerfully express emotions of madness ("Insanity"), longing ("Hey!"), and the breakdown of human reason ("War Again"). My personal favorite is "Pedestrian Wolves" which I believe is a metaphor comparing wolves to mob gangs in cities. The lyrics to "Insanity" are by far the darkest. The song talks about the collapse of a human mind while turning Christian religion into a satire. Every time I listen to it, I get goosebumps. Overall, the lyrics to this album definitely have the familiar Elfman-ish morbid feeling that his musical genius seems to always express. By far, the strongest aspect of this album is the lyrics (though they might not be understood on the first listen).
Overall Impression — 9
I have never listened to any other of the Oingo Boingo albums too much. I mostly listened to the band because of Danny Elfman. But once I listened to this album, I instantly became a fan. It wasn't quite what I expected (especially how dark it was), but I found myself liking it the more I listened to it. It's a pity Elfman refuses to to do a reunion with the band (he's suffering from hearing loss) because if they were to release a new album, I would buy it the first chance I got.

no picture, only sound...
A few months ago I bought an old VHS (a 1986 film new and still sealed though) on Amazon.com. (I'm Italian, but I'm used to buy films in english and my VCR has the NTSC playback system too).
I finally found the time to watch it a few days ago, but when I put it into my VCR, I couldn't see anything! After a minute or something, an automatic message from this LG VCR (not expansive, but a new one) shows up: HEAD STATUS = PLEASE CLEAN.
I used 2 different types of head-cleaning tapes, and the film looked fine.. for a couple of minutes!!!
Tried to play other tapes (both PAL and NTSC) with different results:
Sometimes the pictures disappeared, other times they didn't.
After many cleanings, ONLY the other tapes played fine!
I'm starting to think that the first tape that gave me problems, caused this momentary defect to the VCR!
Is that possibile?
If anyone has an advice...
Every once in a while a tape can cause the video heads to become clogged, which often results in no picture at all, and although this is a temporary condition, it can be a real pain to get rid of. Sometimes the only way to fix it seems to be to play an ordinary tape for several hours or so. It can take quite a while at times, but with patience it should clear up eventually.
A lot of times only one or two of the heads in a four-head VCR will get clogged; this is the how the picture can be totally clear in certain operating modes and not others (different heads are used for different functions and/or tape speeds).
Another thing I thought about when I read your post again: if the problem comes back every time you play the first tape, the first tape may be badly shedding its oxide particles for some reason. Possibly fast-winding the tape to the end and back to the beginning may shake the particles loose and improve the situation, but I don't know how likely that is to work (I haven't come across this problem often enough to try it). Otherwise, the tape may be physically deteriorating (from age, perhaps?) and perhaps may not be fixable.
I think "Truth or Dare?" (the movie "the first tape" contains) is the problem. Even if it was still sealed, it could have been exposed to some excessively warm temperature or something in years... (the VHS is supposed to be more than 20 years old, anyway)
Hey, thank you for answering me, TravisE!
do you know if there's a way to fix the tape or, maybe to transfer it on a digital device, recovering the picture?
Thanx again,
If you can manage to get the tape to play at all for long enough periods at a time (again, perhaps fast-forwarding and rewinding the entire tape a few times first may help), it would probably be best to transfer it yourself this way and then play only the copy from that point on. If the tape is in such bad shape that it just will not play without clogging the heads no matter what you do, then the only recourse might be those recovery procedures that I've read about in various places on the Web.
Thanx again, I'll try this way as soon as I got time to.
One way to tell if it's just the 2-hour heads that are clogged is to find a prerecorded 6-hour (i.e. SLP or EP speed) tape; if it plays fine, then one or both of the standard speed heads are clogged.
If a head-cleaning tape doesn't fix the problem, you can try removing the lid to the machine and use a piece of clean laser printer paper.
The lids usually come off with screws on the sides and/or rear of the lid. And there's sometimes a shield covering the tape transport section, where you'll find the rotary video drum. Make sure the power cord to the VCR is unplugged from the AC power, and no tape is in the machine.
Gently place the paper against the surface of the rotary drum; the heads are located in the gap between the upper rotary drum and the fixed lower portion. Don't press too hard, and don't move the paper at all, just rotate the upper head drum. The heads are usually located 180 degrees from each other, so slowly rotate the upper drum several revolutions. You can then look at the piece of paper and you'll usually see a series of thin, black streaks of tape oxide and other debris from the drum. This often fixes clogged heads when a cleaning tape doesn't. The important thing is to absolutely apply no up or downward motion to the paper, because this would break the fragile ferrite video heads. And make sure you do this with the VCR UNPLUGGED from the AC power.
Sometimes these problems happen because the tape in question has been "eaten" by another machine, causing the tape to have wrinkles which will then delaminate the oxide onto a subsequent machine's tape transport. It's also possible for an eaten tape to get grease or other lubricants on it from the machine's transport; this grease can then clog your heads. If you try the above mentioned cleaning procedure and you find evidence of grease on the rotating head drum, you can use a bit of 91% isopropyl alcohol (NOT the 78% rubbing alcohol) on the piece of paper. Just make sure you let the alcohol dry completely before playing a tape, because if the rotary drum is wet, it'll disrupt the boundary air layer and eat the tape due to stiction.
Hi, JoeV! My VCR got better and better after some cleanings, or simply playing other tapes into it.
Since then, I just didn't play anymore the corrupted VHS: I really think it was the cause of that temporary damage...
I'd really like to recover that tape somehow, but I won't try to play it in my VCR again... probably I should try someone who can transfer it on a CD-R (if he can play it in the first place).
Thanx for your full answer.

PBS inside information leaked to Bondì
The acting head of the PBS editorial board, Dominic Fenech, has raised the alarm at the national station about confidential internal information leaked to Bondiplus presenter, Lou Bondì, after the latter admitted in a press release that he knew which programme was intended to replace his.
Reacting to a story published in MaltaToday about the editorial board's and the Broadcasting Authority's decision to stop him from holding a programme on the budget two weeks ago, Bondì blamed Fenech for wanting "to take Bondiplus off-air permanently" when John Camilleri was still chairman of the same board.
He also let slip that he was in the know about the editorial board's internal discussions earlier this year that would have led to his programme's removal to be replaced by other programmes, including a proposed programme by Media Today – the company which publishes this newspaper.
"This man (Fenech) wanted to take Bondiplus off-air permanently," Bondì wrote. "I will let your readers decide why Fenech is now doing everything possible to prevent me from doing the job I have been doing on PBS for 15 years. And of course, I will also let your readers decide why Karl Schembri never mentions that Dominic Fenech wanted to substitute Bondiplus with programmes presented by journalists from the MaltaToday stable."
The editorial board's decision, which was unknown to Media Today and the MaltaToday journalist mentioned by Bondì, was however inexplicably revoked by the PBS Board of Directors, leading to Camilleri's resignation after an acrimonious conflict with chairman Joe Fenech Conti.
But upon receiving a copy of Bondì's press release, Fenech reacted by raising the issue on the editorial board last week. He told MaltaToday that "if PBS was run seriously, it would investigate this serious issue".
"It is clear Bondì was given insider information when he said I wanted to remove his programme to replace it with a programme proposed by Media Today," Fenech said.
"He is incorrect in attributing the decision to me personally, as it was an editorial board decision, but he is right in saying we wanted him out. So it is obvious someone must have told him what was being discussed, that we had considered positively a Media Today proposal and that he was not short listed.
"It is a very serious and delicate issue. Here you have one of the tenderers for a PBS programme being informed about his competitors. How did he get to know? All the editorial board members denied leaking the information to Bondì. All I know is that the board minutes are forwarded to the PBS chairman. If PBS were a serious station I would expect an investigation."
Saviour Balzan, managing editor at MediaToday, said: "The fact that our programme Reporter was selected to replace Bondiplus is news to me. I am more than convinced that when the board of directors overturned the editorial board they took the independence, the credibility and objectivity of the host of the programme into consideration."
PBS chairman Joe Fenech Conti was however unperturbed by Fenech's protest at the sensitive leak.
"Given the unfortunate circumstances regarding the well publicised selection process for the winter schedule on TVM, I am not at all surprised that certain 'internal' information is now in possession of a TVM producer," Fenech Conti said.
"Under normal circumstances, where the interests of PBS are the only item on the agenda, the Board of Directors, Editorial Board, management and producers act as one team. In this scenario board members, management and producers would express their views freely and not feel they are 'leaking' information. The end result on TV is the fruit of co-operation between all the said parties."
Claiming that the board of directors took on board more than 90 per cent of the editorial board's recommendations for the winter schedule, Fenech Conti admitted that "Bondiplus remains the main bone of contention".
In fact, the board has defended its decision to overrule the editorial board on the grounds that Bondì had credibility and would be the best choice to lead current affairs programmes in election year.
"The Board of Directors and I feel that the programme was in the commercial interests of the company since properly produced current affairs topics attract larger audiences. I want to point out here that properly produced current affairs programming on television, besides the aesthetic, research and production values, also means impartiality. We are proud that TVM has never been found guilty of breaching impartiality laws and we will defend this record."
Meanwhile Fenech cancelled a meeting with the Broadcasting Authority that was meant to discuss ways of easing the authority's regulations requesting current affairs producers to inform it a month in advance of their subjects and guests.
Fenech wanted to assure the BA there was no need for such a requirement given that his board was there to ensure the overall balance and impartiality the authority wanted to guarantee.
Yet he cancelled the meeting at the last minute after the board of directors overruled the editorial board for the umpteenth time in deciding Bondì could go on with his budget programme.
"The situation is very frustrating," Fenech said. "I wanted to convince the BA there is no need to take this measure of having a list of topics and guests a month in advance to ensure balance and impartiality, as the editorial board could take care of that Constitutional requirement internally, on the assumption that the editorial board could be relied on.
"But it's clear I can't give my word on that now, when Fenech Conti insists he and the board of directors have the last word on editorial content. When it became clear the board of directors would proceed with their decision, against ours, I decided to cancel the meeting. The truth is that ultimately, the PBS watchdog on impartiality is being kept out."
Fenech Conti however hit back at what he called "a handful of self-proclaimed prophets".
"In the interest of its audience and public service commitments, PBS will keep on managing its business on impeachable ethical grounds without ever being hostage to a handful of self-proclaimed prophets, keen to assist to the downfall of the station. I trust that all parties responsible to co-operate and produce TVM programming will put as their priority PBS interests and not their personal agendas."
Tomorrow, Bondiplus was meant to discuss Azzjoni Nazzjonali but Bondì changed the subject of his programme yet again to discuss Labour's proposals in reaction to the budget.
This time round, the MLP accepted to participate in the programme as according to its secretary general, Bondì "followed procedure" in inviting party representatives through him.
"I know the programme was meant to discuss something else but this time Lou Bondì sent his invitation for our deputy leader through me, as is our normal procedure," Jason Micallef said.
"Lou can call me a gardener as much as he likes but in the end he had to accept our procedure, and he has come to terms with the fact that he has to pass through me," Micallef added, hitting back at Bondì's dig last Wednesday on MaltaToday Midweek in which he referred to the programme Naturambjent that the MLP secretary general used to present on TVM.
"He knows as much about journalism as I do about the gardening programmes he used to present on PBS," Bondì wrote.

IRVINE – The West Coast processing warehouse for Operation Christmas Child buzzed with activity Wednesday as volunteers worked to ship an expected 700,000 shoe boxes filled with small gifts for needy children around the world.
Ben and Linda Betzer, a retired couple from Orange, were right in the thick of things early in the day, overseeing the unloading of more than 2,546 shoe boxes that filled a trailer ceiling to floor, end to end.
The gift boxes all came from The Rock Community Church in Yorba Linda, where the congregation has spent the past year collecting an item a month – soap in January, washcloths in February, and so on.
"Our goal was 2,400 and God blessed us with more," said Alma Townsend, children's ministry director and coordinator for the church's Operation Christmas Child effort.
Inside the warehouse at 1062 McGaw Ave., big cardboard boxes stacked on dozens of pallets held what Ben Betzer estimated was 300,000 shoe boxes donated so far. Volunteers standing at long rows of work tables will inspect each gift box before it is shipped. War toys, liquids or items that will melt, such as chocolate, are removed, but otherwise the shoe boxes stay intact, Ben Betzer said.
Operation Christmas Child is a project of the evangelical Christian relief organization Samaritan's Purse, which is headed by Franklin Graham, son of the Rev. Billy Graham.
"We could not do this project without the volunteers. I just want to say thank you to each and every one of you," Franklin Graham said during remarks to about 350 people – a good half of them volunteers – who gathered for a kickoff program that included Christmas songs from Saddleback Church Children's Choir.
The Betzers, both in their 60s, have been involved in Operation Christmas Child for the past 10 years. Since retiring four years ago from their jobs as bankers, they've worked on the project year round. Last year, they helped deliver shoe boxes to impoverished children in Ecuador, including about 300 kids who resided at a dump site where fires burned and vultures circled in the air.
"You couldn't imagine having your child live in that environment," Linda Betzer said. "Just to give them something as precious as a shoe box and a little bowl of food, it was just amazing … The thing that struck us was how incredibly grateful the kids were for the smallest thing."
As the volunteer area coordinators for Orange County, the Betzers visit churches, schools and community organizations.
The Betzers' three children and six grandchildren also do their part. A daughter who works at Orange Lutheran High headed up an effort that resulted in more than 2,200 shoe boxes being packed in one day.
In addition to the local volunteers who will be working at the processing center through Dec. 12, others have come from northern California, Alaska, Arizona, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon and elsewhere.
Operation Christmas Child hopes to collect about 8.5 million of the gift boxes this year at centers here and in Charlotte, N.C., Atlanta, Denver and Minneapolis. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has seen 86 million shoe boxes hand-delivered to children in more than 130 countries.
Ted Foreman, 21, of Minnesota spent several years of his childhood in an orphanage in Russia with his sisters before all three were adopted by a family in the United States that turned out to be Operation Christmas Child volunteers. While in the orphanage, he received a shoe box gift one year.
Foreman, whose Russian name is Vladimir, described to the crowd the hope engendered by the love that went into sending a shoe box filled with simple things – a towel, a notebook, a tube of SpongeBob SquarePants toothpaste – that he could call his own.
"We felt the pain that these children have and we know that they need that gift," he said. "They need that hope."

BUENA PARK – Every day, fifth- and sixth-graders at James A. Whitaker School's Gateways program practice their vocabulary, developing sentences using words like "preservation" and "remote."
"Ashley, would you want to live in a remote place?" teacher Stephanie Williamson asks after a few minutes of group discussion.
"I would not live in a remote place because I would not want to be far from my family," answers Ashley Young, 12, eliciting a class-wide "aww."
Williamson spends a few hours each day with 20 students in Gateways, a program tailored to students more than two years behind their grade level in English language arts.
Williamson taps her iPad for another randomly generated name.
"Jocelyn, how can your family keep your photographs in a state of preservation?" Williamson asked.
"We can keep our photographs in a state of preservation by putting them in a photo frame so it won't get wet or damaged," says Joseline Villamil, 11.
In Williamson's class, students spend much of their class time speaking aloud – they read back their writing, their vocabulary words and practice reading fluency.
In the fall, they arrive are shy and quiet, unused to the confidence that comes with knowing the correct answer.
By spring, there's not a shy kid in the room.
When students join the Gateways class, they're a tough crowd. They act out, cause disruptions and try to provoke a trip to the principal's office.
So, Williamson creates a safe space from the start – where students practice respect and work together. Once students establish that rapport, they thrive.
It's a crucial skill in this high-needs community, where about 91 percent of students come from low-income homes and 59 percent are English learners.
"They couldn't keep up with the work, the pace the class was moving, so they were going to avoid the work by getting kicked out of class," Williamson said. "Now that they're in a program where they can do the work they're feeling successful. They're seeing their own progress."
The students write every day. They work on reading comprehension, asking questions about the text and clarifying parts they don't understand. They use context clues to find meaning for unfamiliar words.
To improve reading fluency, students read aloud for one minute while a partner underlines difficult words for practice later. Williamson encourages her students to push forward even when tasks prove difficult. She structures her lessons in a way that requires students to pay attention, Principal Julie Linneke said.
"Sometimes, the only time they have structure is when they're here at school," Williamson said. "That's one of the reasons why I think it's really important while they're here that they need to be happy. Yes, they need to learn; yes, they need to focus; yes, they need all the academic skills. But, if they're not feeling comfortable and safe and happy then they're not able to do anything further."
Williamson encourages students to show off their work. She often invites other teachers, parents and community members to observe their progress.
"They feel proud of themselves and I think they become higher achievers because of that," Williamson said.
When students are proud of their work, it shows. They point out the art projects lining the walls. They read aloud with confidence. Their hands shoot into the air to answer Williamson's vocabulary questions. Test results show the kids are making major progress throughout the year, Linneke said.
"She really pushes you hard so you'll know better when you go to another class," said Estephany Montelongo, 11.
Williamson is known around the school for her brand of tough love. In her class, students are expected to always treat each other with respect.
Williamson's students choose new desks every two weeks. The move teaches an important skill – you can't always be with your friends, and you have to work together no matter what. Williamson gleans information about student relationships by observing how they choose their desk mates.
"She respects us. When we're talking she doesn't talk over us," said Juan Rodriguez, 11. "She makes sure we don't have trouble because she says we're all a family in here."
When students write her notes – a frequent occurrence – she tapes them to the front of her desk in the classroom. The notes are a visible and constant reminder of why Williamson teaches.
"If I'm feeling overwhelmed I can look over and say, 'I made a difference to that person, and that rainbow is because that person was happy in my classroom," Williamson said. "That's what I try to make the kids feel. I need to let them know that every day, you are important to me. And every day you're here is important to me."

Poppy Seed-Filled Scones with Lemon Curd Recipe
These scones are lovely when cut into wedges and draped with lemon curd. I often mix up the batter the night before and pop them into the oven the next morning to bake up fresh and golden brown.—Shannon Koene, Blacksburg, Virginia
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel

- 1/3 cup poppy seeds
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup cold butter
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 egg
- 1 egg, separated

Audio Fresh Thai election unlikely to resolve crisis, says analystTom Nightingale
SHANE MCLEOD: Overseas now, a likely date has been identified for the election that Thailand's government hopes will resolve the country's political crisis.
The prime minister dissolved parliament yesterday to try to head off protests. Now it seems an election will take place in early February.
But protestors are expected to return to the streets today. And some analysts say the streets of Bangkok could become even more chaotic.
Tom Nightingale reports.
(Sound of people cheering).
TOM NIGHTINGALE: An estimated 150,000 people marched yesterday, as the prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra dissolved parliament.
(Sound of people singing and clapping).
The protests are linked with the opposition party.
And they're led by a fiery former deputy prime minister named Suthep Thaugsuban.
Last night he told crowds his reform committee will take over.
SUTHEP THAUGSUBAN (voiceover): This means that from now on we'll have the People's Council doing the legislating instead of parliament, which is no longer in power.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: He also said his committee would hold an election in about a year.
Then the government trumped him - by announcing a poll in early February.
But the protest leader wants power immediately.
The protestors want the prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, out of the country.
They also want her brother, the popular former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, to remain in exile and out of politics forever.
The protestors say they're sick of losing elections that they believe are rigged.
ANDREW WALKER: Look I think it's sour grapes. I don't think there's any credible commentator on the political scene in Thailand who'd say that the elections that have brought Thaksin and his allies to power don't reflect the will of the people.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: Professor Andrew Walker is with the Australian National University.
He thinks there's now a real chance of civil conflict.
ANDREW WALKER: Well this has been building for a number of weeks, but it's become very clear and quite explicit in the last day that the opposition simply won't accept an election. They are being quite open about the fact that they don't want an election because the current government is likely to win.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: The opposition's calling for a people's council. Now, what's your view on what that could involve?
ANDREW WALKER: Well, to be polite, I suppose this is a crazy proposal. This is for an unelected body to rule Thailand. Perhaps the army would have to appoint the council. Perhaps it would be the judiciary. But the fact is that the large majority of people in Thailand who support the current government and who voted it into power just two years ago, simply won't accept this proposal. So it's a proposal that's a recipe for civil conflict.
TOM NIGHTINGALE: Politics in Thailand has been volatile for decades.
By some estimates, there have been up to 20 attempted coups in 80 years.
ANDREW WALKER: Well so far this has proceeded pretty peacefully and I think it's to the credit of the government, but there's real danger signs. Remember, the opposition forces have put very big crowds on the street of Bangkok, no doubt about that. The pro-government forces, the pro-Thaksin red shirts could equally mobilise very large numbers and if we start to see competing mobilisations in Thailand, we have a very dangerous situation indeed.
SHANE MCLEOD: Professor Andrew Walker from the Australian National University, ending Tom Nightingale's report.


text: Remember Flo on the old TV show "Mels Diner" when she got huge laughs by uttering, "Well, kiss my grits!"? Most of us thought that was funny, except for my good friend and fishing buddy, Jim Ferguson, who cringed at even the mention of grits. Fergie once moved to a different table while I ate eggs and grits in a Georgia restaurant.Well, theres one place Im sure Fergie passed up over this past weekend St. George, South Carolina, home of the annual World Grits Festival.This event draws some 50,000 folks to that quiet southern town of 2100.Cambridge area residents who travel to Florida probably pass St. George, just off I-95. The festival started in 1986 and quickly caught the imagination of the world's press and public alike. Visitors flock there to wolf down bowl after bowl of the gloopy and, some would say, tasteless boiled and ground corn. Aside from the exciting grits eating contest, other attractions include corn tossing and corn shelling competitions and the crowning of Miss Grits.But the highlight is the Rolling in the Grits competition, where ardent competitors queue up to dive into a small swimming pool filled with cold grits. Whoever gets the most stuck to their body in 10 seconds wins. The "Roll" requires strategic preparation on how best to use the body and clothing to collect the most grits.Grits have always been a traditional breakfast favorite for Southern families. Generations have grown up eating them every morning, savoring grits for their warm, satisfying, unsweetened taste and nutritional value.As a true grit(s) fan, Im passing along a recipe that anyone who appreciates really fine dining should try, Bleu Cheese Grits with Shrimp:THE GRITS 2 oz. Bleu cheese, 2 C water, 1 C instant gritsTHE SHRIMP --1 T julienne onions , 1 C julienne tomatoes , * T capers, 1 C chicken stock, 2 T butter, 2 large shrimp, peeled and deveinedBring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add grits and stir constantly for 5 minutes. Set aside.Place * cup grits into a mold. Place 1 ounce of cheese in the center. Add another * cup of grits to the mold and set aside.Sauce: Saut onions, capers and tomatoes. Add chicken stock and reduce by half. Add shrimp and butter Cook for 3 minutes.To finish, saut cheese grits in 1/4 cup oil until golden brown on both sides. Place shrimp on top of grits and pour sauce over grits in a shallow bowl. Serve immediately.Finally, one of the favorites at this years fest was grits ice cream.Just cook the grits, let cool and mix with vanilla ice cream Now go grit em, tiger!(E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit my Website at www.geocities.com/jerry7068.)

Disclaimer: Absolutely no-one is allowed to make any judgments about my musical tastes from this post. Including Sunday Shaming by certain Canadians with horrible horrible plastic shoes 😛
So I was pottering around looking for some musical accompaniment to the randomness that has been plaguing me of late and decided to go for Lady Gaga's Teeth – because it always makes the day a little more fun. And I'm sure the guy in the chair could be a lot of fun, yes yes I am.
And a message came up, I had to log in (which necessitated remembering my password, an event in and of itself) to prove my age because the video had been flagged for adult content.
And I have a "hmmm" moment. Because, yes, it is sexy – oh so very sexy – but none of the other music I'd been listening to had been flagged.
Katy Perry feat Snoob Dog: California Gurls
Near complete female nudity, strongly sexually suggestive, whipped cream shooting breast guns (I can't believe I just typed that)…
Not Flagged.
Shakira: She-wolf
Woman locked in a cage in flesh coloured body suit, writhing in an extremely sexualised manner
Outfit that exposes one arse cheek
Awful choreography (sorry, had to go there)
Not Flagged.
Woman completely naked side on
Man in underware and naked in a steamy shower
Lots of sexualised contact and dancing between man and woman
Sexualised violence.
Not Flagged
As may be guessed, I suspect there is a double standard here, especially in what we consider porn or suitable for children.
Completely naked women? Plastered absolutely everywhere – in fact, I think you'd have to have your eyes put out NOT to see sexually objectified women at least a dozen times a day. Completely suitable for children
Women dancing sexually/writhing around near naked? Also perfectly suitable for minors. Not adult content.
Shitless, underwear clad or carefully fuzzed naked men so long as there's a woman around? Not nearly so common (alas) since men are not close to as objectified as women – but when it appears, suitable for minors. Not adult content.
Men and women dancing, kissing, groping, grinding, straddling, lap dancing and all but doing it in front of the camera? Not adult content.
2 shirtless men in a scene with a heavy homoerotic subtext though with relatively little sexual contact? Oh my GODS! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!
This is an utter pet peeve of mine. It annoys me that our sexuality is considered so much more threatening than heterosexual sexuality. It annoys me that we're seen as something we should protect children from (oh boy does that one annoy me). It annoys me that people had utter screaming meemies over Adam Lambert kissing a male band member – a simple kiss! It irritates me that if I go out in public holding hands with Beloved, I'm made to feel like we're doing something inappropriate. It annoys me greatly that if I should kiss him so many would regard us as if we'd stripped down and had a lap dance in the town square.
Our sexuality is no more obscene, no more inappropriate and no more in need of censoring than heteronormative sexuality. We don't need sweeping under the rug. We don't need hiding behind closed doors and we sure as hell don't need to be kept away from the children.

By giving sneakers to 1,000 needy children, the 'Fine China' singer wants to remind them that 'whenever and whenever they walk, we are a united community.'
Chris Brown spent his weekend to help children in need. Chris and his team handed out Reebok sneakers to children for his "WE US: Walk Everywhere in Unity's Shoes" campaign at Crenshaw High School on Saturday, July 6.
As a part of the project, the "Fine China" singer worked with Los Angeles City mayor's office and gang reduction organizations. He and Team Breezy L.A. reportedly stayed up until 1 A.M. to sort 1,000 boxes of Reebok sneakers for the children. By giving the shoes to youth at three sites in Compton and The Jungles, Chris wanted to remind them that "whenever and whenever they walk, we are a united community."
The 24-year-old singer posed with the children after they received the shoes. Chris as well as his young fans were all smiles as they posed for some photos. Some of the children happily brought the shoe boxes at the photo session.
"I used to have to borrow my cousin's clothes. So being able to come from that poverty-stricken environment and then being able to get out of it is what I tried to [do]. I just want to show the kids and have them have a better light of opportunities for them to do what they need to do," Chris told PEOPLE of his motivation to carry out the campaign.
"Thank you for allowing me to continue to inspire change in the world. Today was a great step forward! #UnityCampaign" he tweeted on July 7. He also gave a shout-out to his team who helped at the Saturday event. "S/O to Team Breezy LA who were a huge help today! Love Ya'll!" he wrote.

Hurricane Charley Leaves Florida Gas, Power in Short Supply
Shortages are likely to persist for a few more weeks.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Gas lines and shortages were the late-breaking insult to injury delivered by Hurricane Charley, reported the Orlando Sentinel.
Many Central Floridians venturing out from their powerless and waterless homes Sunday found themselves on a futile trek across metro Orlando in search of gas. But virtually all gas stations and convenience stores with pumps fell into one of three categories: gas but no power; power but no gas; no gas or power.
Anger management is advisable because the spot shortages are likely to persist for "a few weeks," said Jeremy Kemp of Florida Rock & Tank Lines, a major supplier to gas retailers in metro Orlando.
Normally, Florida Rock tankers serving Orlando draw from the company's storage facility at Taft, in south Orange County. But with no power in Taft to pump the gas, Florida Rock tankers have had to gas up in Tampa, Jacksonville and Fort Lauderdale -- doubling the delivery time. Add to that the oil barges in Tampa Bay that have been waiting for Charley to pass before docking.
Friday, the day Charley arrived in Central Florida, Florida Rock stopped filling tankers and sending them out on the road. "We were rolling as early as we could Saturday," Kemp said. "We had trucks that were preloaded. But we have 100 orders we haven't been able to deliver. We're 72 hours behind."
Motorists scouring metro Orlando on Sunday for gas grew accustomed to the sight of pump handles wrapped in plastic shopping bags or red covers. As the day wore on, gas shortages became outages and produced a cruel mirage -- convenience stores where vehicles were pulled up to the pumps, seemingly in the process of being fueled. But it turned out that motorists had turned the useless fuel bays into parking spaces for beer and soda runs into the store.

The other day a reader left a comment on one of my columns, lamenting that I did not hold out much hope for small traders and investors. I didn't mean to create that impression at all. There's a lot of hope for small traders and investors -- providing they are willing to do the work.
My intent was to paint a picture of what the markets are like today and outline what not to do as an investor. To find success in the market, you can't do what everyone else is doing. You have to think differently and learn to profit by doing the opposite of what the large pools of money that dominate financial markets are doing.
Let's look at stock trading. The little bit that I do is arbitrage-related selling of options (with a value flavor) and using puts to create short positions on overvalued stocks. If I were to engage in short-term trading, the first thing I would do is take a refresher course in higher math with an emphasis on statistics and probability, or hire a math whiz. The vast majority of successful traders I know rely heavily on this type of market analysis.
Given the enormous amount of money being channeled into exchange-traded funds and other index products, I would focus on building models devoted to the mean reversion of index components and dispersion trading. A large amount of money flowing into these products regardless of component valuation has to create mean reversions of the components that can be exploited by traders. Adjusting for index weightings and other factors is a daunting task. But if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. Trading success does not come from an off-the-shelf product. It takes original thought and lots of hard work.
If index-valuation components occasionally get out of line and forced back to the mean by money flows, options on the underlying components would be subject to the same pricing mechanisms. If I were interested in shorter-term trading, I would have option-dispersion models to spot the volatility and pricing anomalies in an attempt to benefit from the eventual correction and re-pricing. Again, if it was easy, we'd all be rich.
To succeed you have to think differently and find ways to exploit what the larger pools of trading capital are doing in the marketplace.
The key for a long-term investor is to avoid distortions caused by large pools of capital in search of non-existent alpha and edges. Doing the same thing and owning the same stocks as every large institution or hedge fund is not going to yield results much different from the averages. This is true no matter which approach you use to invest in the market.
In my experience, all successful long-term investing is based on either value or momentum strategies. I have written more than once about how avoiding over-owned stocks in the major indices improves value investing. But does it work for momentum-based trades? I ran a quick momentum screen to see if it turned up any viable ideas. I found some that should interest momentum investors who are not heavily influenced by index traders.
Look at Heritage-Crystal Clean (HCCI). The industrial and hazardous waste company's stock is in a few broad indices but none of the popular ETFs. It's close to a 50-day high and up 21% year to date. Earnings have grown by 51% this year and are projected to triple next year. Earnings per share have grown by an average of 34% over the past five years and the stock is above all its moving averages.
HCCI has all the characteristics of a momentum stock but it's only 26% owned by institutions, so you are not going to see the price distortion caused by their daily activity. If anything, you'll get new buying when the big players discover the stock. It's a momentum investor's dream stock.
My momentum screen has dozens of stocks like this. My value screens of smaller companies also have candidates that should trade purely on fundamentals, not the whims of a black box or short-term index traders. That should increase the odds of investment success.
The key for small traders is to exploit what the black boxes and index traders are doing with huge pools of levered capital. For these small investors, the answer lies in swimming where the big fish can't follow and finding stocks to own on their own merits.

"Vetter is a specialist in filling sensitive and high-end drug injection systems. Trust and reliability are therefore fundamental to successful collaborations with our clients," says Vetter's managing director Peter Soelkner. "Each of our clients is given individualized care through one key account manager, who becomes the customer's permanent contact and link to experts throughout the company. Through regular visits, we get to know our customers better and understand their individual needs. That results in a true partnership, which enables excellent results for the client."
For Christian Himmelsbach, partner in Deloitte's Tax SME division, Vetter's professional customer relationship management was convincing. "Besides the usual approaches to customer relations, Vetter particularly impressed us with how extensively it collaborates with its clients in the development process of new products."
Vetter recently founded a new subsidiary that combines global key account management and customer service. Key account managers cover key markets and are present at each client's site. As a full-service provider, Vetter supports clients from clinical development through long-term market production. The company fills syringes, cartridges and vials for large and small clients across the international pharmaceutical and biotech industry.

Hagstrom Drilling
The Australian Business Awards are delighted to recognise Hagstrom Drilling as recipients of The Australian Business Award for Enterprise in its industry classification for 2012.
Hagstrom Drilling is a privately owned, independent drilling, cone penetration testing and marine contractor. The company's philosophy, and its attitude towards servicing its clients, is underpinned by the view that the company strives to focus on the continual improvement of all aspects of the business rather than rest on its laurels. Hagstrom Drillings' view is that the way it does business, its reputation, and its capabilities are all areas that need to be constantly nurtured and developed to ensure the company continues to maintain the growth strategy and continue to maintain and strengthen its position as a leader in the Australian drilling industry.
Hagstrom Drilling's unique service offering is one of providing a quality service safely and ensuring that its reputation for completing challenging projects is maintained. Adapting to changing times and conditions involves continuing to improve the way it does business to ensure it doesn't allow competition the opportunity to challenge its industry position. Hagstrom Drilling works by the principle that the primary focus of a corporate strategy is to assist with determining which areas of business that the company should operate in, and then ensuring it focuses its actions and resources on the areas identified. By choosing a concentrated growth strategy where its resources are focused on existing core capabilities, the company believes it will continue to create economic value and growth. The other benefit to this focus is that it has allowed the company to investigate the strategy of related diversification; creating value by purchasing or maintaining businesses in related industries or markets, providing the ability to share knowledge and competencies specific to an industry between its business units and to attempt to minimise the business risks of reliance on other organisations.

text: I haven't followed his career like possibily some of you have but I like this kid's upside. I know I've been saying this for years but I expect him to get stronger, especially once he gets to the league. He's a lean, athletic 6-10 with a solid midrange game, he can rebound, block shots and more importantly run the floor. I'm not sure about taking him 15th but trading back into the draft to acquire him appeals to me. Then again, if players that we are shooting for are off the board by 15 it wouldn't bother me if we took him 15th.

How to Train a Powerful Athlete for Muscle Endurance
At OPT we all agree that in fitness:
- Everyone needs an individualized program.
- We are preparing for unknown pieces in fitness competitions.
- We believe in balancing all aspects, not focusing only on previous tests.
- You have no control over preparation for specific movements, etc.
- Things are not simple when trying to develop all, but we'll be damned if we don't try.
This is a specific training insight based on working with an athlete who competes in fitness, but needs to improve multiple things that deal with stamina, muscle endurance, and bodyweight to endurance ratio. If we all thought that the path to being more fit and getting stronger was just lifting and varied workouts, it would leave someone who is powerful like this on the sidelines. So there are ways to do it "better" with simple principles as explained in the video.

Pretoria - Electoral laws will be put to test on Wednesday morning in the High Court in Pretoria when the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) launches an urgent application against the imposition of money required to contest the May 7 elections.
It is the first time in the history of democratic South Africa that such laws have been challenged in court.
The matter was to be heard on Tuesday, but was postponed to 11.30am on Wednesday to allow all respondents – the president, minister of home affairs and the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) – enough time to file papers. This must be done by 10am, and will be followed by arguments from all four parties.
Political parties intending to contest the national and provincial elections have until 5pm next Wednesday to submit their candidate lists and pay their deposits to the IEC.
The deposit for contesting seats for the National Assembly is R200 000, up from R180 000 in the previous election, while parties contesting provincial legislatures will have to pay R45 000 (up from R40 000) per province.
A political party contesting the national and all provincial elections will therefore be required to pay a deposit of R605 000. The rates were last increased in 2009, the IEC says.
Parties need to win one seat in the National Assembly or provincial legislature to get their deposit back.
The EFF has strongly rejected the high deposits and said it was unconstitutional and unfair to new entrants, and violated the right to vote and be voted for.
EFF commander-in-chief Julius Malema said if the court ruled against his fledgling party it would be sending a message that contesting the election was an honour reserved only for the rich.
"For an organisation like the EFF, R600 000 can print lots of campaign posters instead of giving it to the IEC," Malema said on Tuesday.
He was accompanied by his central command team, including Dali Mpofu and Floyd Shivambu. "We will not pay. The IEC doesn't need the money, hence it gives it back to parties to compete against us."
Malema, who addressed rain-soaked EFF members in front of the Palace of Justice, said the case was a "battle against racism".
Money should not determine who campaigns in the election, he said. "This is a capitalist mentality. There are other means that can determine the seriousness of a political party that can be explored.
"You cannot pull a crowd of 70 000 to the manifesto launch, as we did, and still be required to justify your seriousness. The IEC should be ashamed of waging war against the poor. Any party that has an office with phone lines and able to pay rent every month, should be serious."
Malema said other parties had money and "some even steal from the government", while the EFF relied on donors and generous members donating their personal money.
The party also had legal gurus who had made it their priority to liberate the poor free of charge.
The EFF, he said, would take the matter to the highest court in the country – the Constitutional Court – should it not succeed in the high court. "If all the courts rule against us, that will still be a victory for the EFF: we will have succeeded in proving our internationally-acclaimed constitution only benefits the rich.
"While this requirement has been there since 1994, there has never been a party committed to fighting for the poor."

where an investor's only connection with an EIS eligible company is by way of being an unpaid director, income tax relief is NOT withdrawn if they subsequently become a paid director. Providing the remuneration is reasonable. What constitutes reasonable? My view is that a 30% shareholder in an EIS eligible business, who is the founder and runs the show can only hope to benefit from EIS treatment if they restrict their rewards to capital gains on exit and dividends in the meantime and no remuneration as it feels to me that any remuneration is dangerous and prejudicial to EIS eligiblity. Do other members agree?

A CHESHIRE business leader – and a Knutsford-based firm – has welcomed the news that the economy continued to grow in the last quarter with both believing it is having a direct impact on firms in the county.
Figures released last week by the Office for National Statistics show the UK economy grew by 0.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2013, bringing the annual growth rate to 1.9 per cent – the fastest rate of growth since 2007.
Christine Gaskell, chair of the Cheshire and Warrington Enterprise Partnership, said: "We have certainly seen an upturn in our economy in Cheshire and Warrington.
"The feedback we're receiving from business colleagues both corporate and SMEs, is that confidence levels are a lot higher and order books are improving.
"There is no room for complacency, but with continued hard work and innovative thinking we believe that businesses in Cheshire and Warrington can continue to lead the country out of recession.
"The strength of Cheshire and Warrington is its diversity and we do know that some businesses are waiting to see the benefits that will come from the economic upturn.
"Those businesses need a well-researched business plan, to be sure that their product range is in line with customer demand and must ensure that they look to innovate and export. Businesses must also remember that there is assistance and support available to them in the sub-region."
Knutsford-based engineering firm AMEC has also recently been awarded a five year £255m contract to provide project management consultancy services for a range of projects in Kuwait.
The contract was won in a competitive tender following AMEC's successful delivery of two previous contracts held since 2004.
Tatton MP George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, added: "These numbers are a boost for the economic security of hardworking people.
Growth is broadly based, with manufacturing growing fastest of all.
"It is more evidence that our long term economic plan is working. But the job is not done, and it is clear that the biggest risk now to the recovery would be abandoning the plan that's delivering jobs and a brighter economic future."

Classic Game Room HD – NASCAR KART RACING for Wii review pt2
Part 2 of 2: Watch in HD. Classic Game Room reviews NASCAR KART RACING from EA Sports for the Nintendo Wii video game console. This cart driving game is ultra-fast and ultra-smooth and ultra-fun for fans of the cartoony, anything goes smash your enemies with dynamite sticks racing genre. Are you bored of all the existing MarioKart Wii racing courses and want to try something new? Whether you're a Nascar stock car fan or not this game should appeal to you if you're in the mood for a family friendly outing of competitive Kart racing. It works with the Wii Wheel and instead of magic mushrooms and Mario characters the game is filled with cartoon likenesses of Nascar drivers like Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson Cark Edwards and Matt Kenseth. Drive the DuPont car, Lowe's race car or (my favorite) the M&M race car! There are also a number of unlockable fictional characters (that players unlock) who would easily win any Wii wet T-Shirt contest. Now… that's a game idea…. Race on Nascar inspired tracks like Daytona and Talladega. Classic Game Room HD brings you the best in new school and old school retro video game reviews. We are a Wii reviewer reviewing new Wii games from 2009 as well as PS3, Xbox 360 and Atari 2600. Nascar Kart Racing is published by Electronic Arts, Inc. and developed by EA North Carolina.
