Further to previous discussion regarding the discoverer of Tasmania's largest gold nugget, I have dug up a little more info on him.
Not much is known about his early life, but he was born in Ireland circa 1836 and most likely found his way to the
Victorian goldfields where he may have gained his prospecting experience.
LIke most prospectors, both oldtimers and modern, he seems to have kept under the radar & not much was heard
of him until he made that famous discovery.
Towards the end of December 1882, James McGinty & his companions, D.Neil and T.Richards arrived on the Rocky R having prospected their way up the Whyte R. To their knowledge the Rocky had not been prospected before.
Good colour was found in the river bed and they continued prospecting their way upstream, eventually finding a nice pocket of nuggets. The three men kept working their way up the river until they reached a sharp bend about 1km upstream from its confluence with the Whyte which had good concentrations of heavy gold.
They set up camp nearby and proceeded to work the alluvial terraces on the inside of the bend.
On the 23rd January !883 a 243oz nugget was found at a depth of 5ft in the gravels of the terrace. A week later a 39oz nugget was found nearby. The gold was buried under the floor of the tent for safe keeping while the men worked.
Meanwhile another party comprising Jim Griffin and two others were working their way upstream too and not doing too badly on the crumbs left behind by McGinty's party. On enquiring how James & Co were doing, they were
told "Well, we have got a little gold."They were invited into the tent, where the gold was ceremoniously unveiled.
Apparently Jim's eyes nearly jumped out of his head when he saw it. Nothing even approaching that size had been seen in Tasmania before.
Anyway Jim Griffin and his mates struck it lucky too, finding a 143oz nugget in the Riverbed in 5ft of water and 4ft of gravel.
Subsequent prospectors did very well on the field too, many of them leaving with as much as 100ozs of gold.
McGinty made his way to Launceston where he tried to sell his gold. Obviously not satisfied with the price he was offered, he sailed for Melbourne. Fortunately casts were made before the big nuggets were melted down.
He seems to have dropped off the radar screen again for quite some time but apparently was drawn back to the West Coast again by the lure of gold to prospect creeks in the Savage R & Heazlewood area. In fact one of the creeks near the Nineteen Mile Osmiridium field still bears his name.
When Osmiridium became valuable after about !910 he spent his later years mining it until he died out on the Nineteen Mile in April 1920 at the age of 83, a pretty good age for someone who had spent a hard life in the bush.
James McGinty was buried at the Waratah Pioneer Cemetary on April 25th 1920.
If you go to the MRT website and download OS_258.pdf, there is an image of him on page 4 .

Re: James McGinty
Hi Fox and all
i put in a submission today with Mineral resources Tasmania to see how we can go about protecting James McGinty's workings in the 19 mile area and or rocky river. His discoveries of gold and later marketing of osmiridium are noteworthy and historical enough in the state without the amazing work done on his diggings.
i will let you know the outcome when MRT get back to me about it.

Happy New Years' Eve!! I've been really busy cleaning closets, cubbies, and cupboards in preparation for the New Year, divesting of clutter so I can begin the New Year with a clean slate. It's a New Years' Tradition in my home… out with the old, in with the new! It's wholly amazing how much STUFF one can accumulate during the course of just a few months or, in this case a whole year! My work is not done…. I'm taking a brief cleansing break to post my newest Super Saturday Tutorial, wouldn't want to disappoint YOU!
Today's tutorial actually had two points of inspiration… a few years back, I took a silk ribbon embroidery class by Elly Sienkiewicz. She was a fabulous teacher, and I LOVED the artistic ribbon elements we created to add to our quilts, pillows, and garments. Taking Elly's class was a dream come true… a gift from my DH for an entire weekend in nearby Orlando, Fl. where I studied quilting arts with a host of famous quilt teachers/instructors including Eleanor Burns, and many, many more! Just the other day, I came across a blog post where the author of Scientific Seamstress had created ribbon rosettes with fabric on recycled CD's…. Wow! It was a duh moment!! LOL.. I'd made similar ribbon rosettes with Elly, talk about De Ja Vu!
So, here we are at the New Year, and my Super Saturday… and I'm going to show you how to create ribbon rosettes suitable for paper crafting… with recycled and new materials you may already have in your home!
Wouldn't these ribbon rosettes look fabulous on your lapel, a paper project, headband, or gift bag?
Here's the supply list for a 3" Ribbon Rosette:
- Chipboard… this can be recycled cardboard from packaging and/or cardstock. I prefer 1/8" thick or better.
- Paper piercing tool and snips and/or Japanese Hole Punch and snips.
- Ribbon… I prefer 1/2" or wider, approximately 4 feet of ribbon is needed for a 3" ribbon rosette.
- Hemp Twine*
- Household Tape
- Mat Pack
- 3" sizzix circle die
- Big Shot Machine
Step by Step Directions:
- Cut a 3" circle using the Big Shot Machine and Die from scrap chipboard.
- Find the center of the chipboard by drawing a line both the 1.5" line horizontally and vertically. As you can see in the photo below, I used the self healing mat that came with my SU! Mat Pack to find the center of the 3" circle die cut.
- Pierce a hole where the lines cross… I used my Japanese Hole Punch to make the hole, but you could just as easily use a paper piercing tool.
- Use the fine point tip of your paper snips and a twisting downward motion to increase the size of the center hole. You will be threading hemp twine* through the hole several times, it needs to be approximately 1/4" in diameter.
- Thread hemp twine* through the center hole, and attach to the 3" chipboard circle with household tape. The center whole in the photo below is actually smaller than it should be… I had to increase the size with paper snips before completing the project!
- Wrap hemp twine* around the 3" circle, threading forward through the center hole….
- Repeat the process until you have 7 spokes, or more on your 3" chipboard circle disc.
- In order for this ribbon rosette to form properly, you need to have an odd number of hemp twine* spokes. You may increase and/or decrease spokes as desired.
- Using the very end of your ribbon of choice, wrap the ribbon twice to tie a knot which will become the center of your ribbon rosette.
- Snug the ribbon down, but not too tightly… you want a nice and fluffy flower center!
- Insert the tail of the knot through the 3" chipboard circle and secure to the back with household tape.
- Using an over/under motion, begin threading the ribbon through the spokes.. under the first spoke, over the next… etcetera.
- Be mindful to straighten out the ribbon as you tug it towards the center… the twist in the photo below is NOT good… see the big red X?
- The ribbon should be flat and flowing in one direction as you work around the 3" chipboard circle.
- Continue working around the circle in an over/under motion until the entire 3" chipboard circle has been covered with ribbon, snugging the ribbon in even tugging motions.
- Once the 3" chipboard circle has been filled with ribbon, attach the last ribbon end to the back of the 3" chipboard circle with household tape.
- Your 3" Chipboard Ribbon Rosette is now ready to use for that special paper crafting project..Isn't it lovely?
- Wouldn't the ribbon rosette look fabulous on a gift bag? Or a fabulous vintage sweater or card?
- Of course it would be even more fabulous with some antique brads, pearls or rhinestones LOL! But I'm cleaning closets so didn't really have time to kick it up! (Maybe tomorrow LOL.)
- Varying the size of the chipboard circle, you can have perfect ribbon rosettes for wedding invitations, cards, scrapbook pages.. imagine the possibilities!!
- This rosette began with just a 1-3/8" chipboard circle punch.
- A crop-a-dile tool was used to create the center hole, linen thread was used to make the spokes, and paper snips were used to increase the size of the hole to just under 3/4".
*Instead of hemp twine or linen thread, use matching ribbon in a narrower version to 'hide' thread and hemp trails. When I made rosettes with Elly Sienkiewicz, we always used matching thread. We never used chipboard LOL… we used fabric as the backing!
I hope you enjoyed today's Super Saturday Tutorial!
I hope you had a wonderful and safe New Years' Eve, and wish you a prosperous and pleasant New Year!

From giardia to cholera to Montezuma's Revenge, the diseases you can get from drinking dirty water can be dangerous to your health. And if you're hiking, it doesn't matter how clear and delicious the water in that mountain stream looks – chances are, you can't trust it. How about that tap water in a Cambodian hostel (or a St. Petersburg hotel, for that matter)? Don't even think about it. Even brushing your teeth with bad water can render you bedridden for days.
But thanks to ultraviolet technology, which harnesses the same light that can make you sick with sunburn, state-of-the-art water bottles can simply be dipped into that mountain stream, then exposed to light with the simple flip of a switch, and finally shaken for 60 seconds. The result? You now have a bottle full of clean, drinkable water. It sounds like science fiction, but that's exactly what the CamelBak All Clear water bottle does, and it can do it with up to 80 bottles full of water (or 16 gallons on a single charge).
According to the site, the CamelBak All Clear water bottle uses proven ultraviolet technology to "neutralize microbiological contaminants to EPA standards" in 60 seconds. The impact- and weather-resistant cap has an LCD screen that verifies success and insulates the UV bulb for consistent effective purification.
The UV equipped lid fits on most CamelBak water bottles and can be easily interchanged for your favorite lid for drinking. It's an excellent solution that frees you from buying plastic water bottles or using inefficient pumps.
On a recent hike, we filled the All Clear up with water from a mountain stream, turned on the light, swished it around for 60 seconds – not even enough time for the water to get warm – and then gulped down the icy cold delicious water. Who knows if the stream's water was okay to begin with or not? And who cares? Besides not getting sick, the best thing about the All Clear is not worrying about getting sick. [$99; camelbak.com]

Few good ones, but probably the first match between the West Indies and Australia. Some great batting from Lara, Morton and Gilchrist, and some great bowling at the end to snatch the win.

The Windies beating India was a pretty awesome match.
Interesting how not a lot of people think Pakistan v South Africa. IMO that was the best game of the tournament. South Africa got off to the worst possible start, with the score at 45-5 and they ended up winning the game by 100 runs, when I'm sure at the start of the 2nd inning everyone thought it should have been Pakistans game

Sorry if this is already a thread! I am just wondering if anyone has any experience with Cavalier mixes? I currently have a 2 year old Blenheim girl. I know the Cavalier breed is perfect for me - but I also would love something a little larger (especially since my little girl is very petite at only 9.5lbs!) I have looked around and seen Cavaliers mixed with a Golden Retriever - any reviews on this? Thanks in advance! :-)

NC resources helping East Coast recovery efforts
RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Bev Perdue has activated the North Carolina Disaster Relief Fund to help residents and businesses along the East Coast recover from Hurricane Sandy.
Perdue says the new NC Helping Neighbors Fund will support recovery efforts in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington D.C., and West Virginia. Assistance will go to communities the federal government has declared disaster areas.
Perdue says 100 percent of donations will go to states hit by the hurricane.
The fund is managed by Perdue's office, with the United Way of North Carolina.
Resources from North Carolina assisting in the recovery include church volunteers, utility employees, National Guard service members and aircraft, fire departments' swift-water rescue teams, and American Red Cross mobile feeding vehicles.

Slow searches might be a result of your system index list size exceeding the index list threshold. The index list threshold is the maximum number of values for each index key. To determine whether the index list threshold size has been exceeded, examine the access log. The notes=U flag at the end of an access log RESULT message indicates that an unindexed search was performed. A previous SRCH message for the same connection and operation specifies the search filter that was used. The following two-line example traces an unindexed search for cn=Smith that returns 10,000 entries. Timestamps have been removed from the messages.
conn=2 op=1 SRCH base="o=example.com" scope=0 filter="(cn=Smith)" conn=2 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=10000 notes=U
If your system often exceeds the index list threshold, consider increasing the threshold to improve performance. The following procedure uses the dsconf set-server-prop command to modify the all-ids-threshold property.
You can use DSCC to perform this task. For information, see Directory Service Control Center Interface and the DSCC online help.
Adjust the index list threshold.
You can adjust your index list threshold at any of the following levels:
At the instance level:
dsconf set-server-prop -h host -p port all-ids-threshold:value
At the suffix level:
dsconf set-suffix-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN all-ids-threshold:value
At the entry level:
dsconf set-index-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN all-ids-threshold:value
At the index level, by search type:
dsconf set-index-prop -h host -p port suffix-DN all-ids-threshold search-type:value
where search-type is one of the following:
eq-enabled equality
pres-enabled presence
sub-enabled substring
The all-ids-threshold property cannot be configured for the approximate index.
You can use DSCC to set the threshold at the index level, by search type. For more information, see the Directory Server online help.
Regenerate the suffix indexes.
See To Generate Indexes.
If the database cache size was tuned for the old all IDs threshold value and the server has adequate physical memory, consider increasing the database cache size.
Increase the database cache size by 25 percent of the magnitude of the increase to the all IDs threshold.
In other words, if you increase the all IDs threshold from 4000 to 6000, you can increase the database cache size by about 12 ½ percent to account for the increase in index list size.
Database cache size is set using the attribute dbcachesize. Find the optimum size empirically before applying changes to production servers.

Givenchy Spring 2013 | Runway
Givenchy Spring 2013
Givenchy Spring 2013
Riccardo Tisci's Catholic upbringing is usually present in the clothing he creates for Givenchy, but his Spring 2013 show for the house telegraphed it in a number of literal ways. He took some of Hubert de Givenchy's '60s couture flair — primarily in the form of sculptural ruffles and beautiful materials like taffeta and duchesse satin — and poured them into dresses that referenced nun's habits with the addition of wide collars typically seen only in convents. (For good measure, the show was set to live organ music by Mathias Lecomte and DJ Discodromo.)
Even when the clothes weren't cut from slightly sheer fabrics, they looked light as air. This may have had something to do with the color palette: beige, white, black, and a flattering pale blue dominated here. It also is partly attributable to the chaste way Tisci chose to expose skin. A lot of the pieces had one sleeve (accented by those ruffles) or none. Even the strictest nun would approve.

Recovery Foods for Cyclists
When an injury sidelines a cyclist, the natural reaction is to cut back on calories until it's time to ride and burn energy again. But the healing process demands fuel, too. "It's like fixing a house," says sports dietitian Cynthia Sass, R.D. "A crack in the foundation requires raw materials to patch things back together, and in the body those raw materials come from what we eat."
Proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants help heal wounds, relax stressed tendons, and mend fractured bones more quickly. So in addition to your doc's advice to elevate and ice, choose the right combinations of foods to speed recovery and get back on your bike. Here's where to aim your cart.
Produce Section
Buy: Carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, and kale for vitamin A; oranges, strawberries, peppers, and broccoli for vitamin C
Why: Vitamin A helps make white blood cells for fighting infection, "which is always a risk with injury," Sass says. Vitamin C has been proven to help skin and flesh wounds heal faster and stronger, making it a valuable ally when caring for road rash. Vitamin C also helps repair connective tissues and cartilage by contributing to the formation of collagen, an important protein that builds scar tissue, blood vessels, and even new bone cells.
Meat Counter
Buy: Lean turkey, sirloin, fish, and chicken
Why: Lean meats are packed with protein, a critical building block for producing new cells. In a 2008 study published in the Journal of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, researchers at the University of Ottawa identified a protein that acted like a bridge between damaged tissues, promoting repair. Because athletes require about 112 grams of protein per day (for a 175-pound male or female) for optimum healing, eating meat is an easy way to rocket toward this goal faster.
Dairy Department
Buy: Eggs, milk, and yogurt
Why: All three are good sources of protein—milk and yogurt also contain calcium, which repairs bone and muscle. The vitamin D in dairy products improves calcium absorption and helps injured muscle and bone heal. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery reported that boosting this nutrient's levels in deficient patients produced earlier results.
Cereal Aisle
Buy: Fortified cereal
Why: It contains zinc, a proven asset to the immune system and to healing wounds. Along with red meat, fortified cereals are the best sources (some deliver 100 percent of your recommended daily value). By itself, zinc doesn't repair damaged tissue, but it assists the nutrients that do. "Just don't overdo it," Sass cautions, adding that too much—more than 40 grams a day for an adult—of this potent mineral lowers HDL cholesterol (the good kind) and actually suppresses your immune system. Cereal supplies moderate zinc doses as well as whole-grain carbohydrates, which fuel your body's healing efforts and keep it from dipping into protein for energy. "Eating enough carbs ensures that your body puts all of its available protein toward repairs," Sass explains.
Seafood Case
Buy: Salmon, tuna, and trout
Why: In addition to an added protein bonus, fish is packed with omega-3s, fatty acids which quench the inflammation that slows recovery from tendinitis, bone fractures, and sprained ligaments.
A Little Inflammation Goes a Long Way
Most of us heed our doctor's advice to use rest, ice, compression and elevation to reduce inflammation and speed recovery. But should we also rely on anti-inflammatory measures such as cortisone injections, large doses of ibuprofen, and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs?
In a 2010 study done at the Cleveland Clinic, in Ohio, researchers concluded that these measures may actually slow healing and that moderation is key. They observed that in acute muscle injuries, inflammatory cells (called macrophages) aided growth that sped muscle regeneration. In other words, a little inflammation actually facilitates healing. This makes anti-inflammatory foods, such as fish and berries, particularly valuable to cyclists on the mend. "These foods throw a big bucket of water on inflammation, but they don't put the fire out entirely," Sass says.

Swimming Pool Blog
by Rob Cox, July 18, 2012
Filtration, Sanitation & Circulation
For clean, clear pool water, one needs a balance of Filtration, Sanitation & Circulation. These three work together to keep pool water fresh and inviting.
It's true that if you have a large DE filter, you can get by with less sanitation and less circulation. Or, if you shock the pool with chlorine daily, the water will be quite sanitary and you'll need less of the other two.
And if you have the circulation of a rushing river, hundreds of gallons per minute in a small pool, the amount of filtration and sanitation needed, diminishes.
Balance is what's important, an equal and fair amount of work is expected from our pump, filter and sanitizers. Here's some ways that you can improve each of these, should they be lacking in any way.
Your pool filter is designed to trap particulate matter and small contaminants. In terms of particle size, DE filters offer the best filtration ability, followed by Cartridge filters, and then Sand filters. No matter which pool filter type you use, having a larger filter than you need will serve you well. If you oversize your pool filter, you get more filter surface area, lower operating pressure and longer time periods between cleanings.
If you wanted to maximize your pool filtration, you would install the largest D.E. filter, either a 60 or 72 sq ft. DE filter. Not planning on buying a large D.E. filter? Here's some tips to improve filtration on your existing pool filter.
- Use Clarifier to coagulate small particles into larger, more easily filterable clumps.
- Use Filter Cleaner annually to remove oils and minerals from your filter media.
- Replace your filter media (Sand, Grids, Carts) when it no longer does the job or time between cleanings increases to an inconvenient level.
- Robotic pool cleaners filter as they clean. Many models will filter the water that passes through them, down a very small 2 microns, equivelent to a DE pool filter.
Purifying the water is important because filters cannot trap all pathogens and bacteria that can be present in your pool water, and because many forms of algae and bacteria are not free-floating, but attach themselves to your pool walls and like to hide under ladder treads and behind pool lights.
Proper water balance it also part of the equation. Not only do we need to introduce chemicals that will attack these contaminants, but we also need to create the best aquatic environment through balancing pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness levels. When your water balance is out of whack, chlorine and other sanitizers don't work as effectively, and it creates an environment that is suitable for algae and bacteria growth.
Some pools operate very well with nothing more than balanced water and a 1.0-2.0 ppm chlorine reading. These pools usually have great circulation and filtration helping out. If your pool needs help in the sanitation department, here's some ways to improve purification of your pool water.
- Install a Mineral Purifer like Nature2 or the Frog. Silver & Copper ions act as a bacteristat and algaestate, respectively, reducing your chlorine demand, and raising your overall pool sanitation.
- Shock your pool when levels of combined chlorine are greater than 0.3 pm, or if the water smells strongly of chloramines and your swimmers eyes are burning.
- Keep a level of chlorine Stabilizer in the water, in the range of 40-80 ppm. Especially important during the hottest months, to shield your chlorine from the sun.
- Use an Enzyme, like products from Orb-3 or Natural Chemistry. Just like the enzymes used to clean up ocean oil spills, pool enzymes digest organic matter, oils and invisible contaminants, which reduces the workload for your primary sanitizer and your pool filter.
High flow with no dead spots. Churning and moving water - never stagnant. If you shut off your filter pump for 12 hours per day, as most people do, circulation and filtration stops, and sanitation has to take up the slack. Good pool circulation moves unfiltered water into the suction ports, and distributes filtered and treated water to all areas of the pool.
Older pools can have poor cirulation in some cases. Most newer pools were designed with a few calculations on the pump size and number of suction and return outlets. It's common that old main drain lines can collapse or be sealed up to prevent leaking. Dirty filters or pump baskets reduce flow rates. Connecting pool cleaners that raise the filter pressure slows the flow and inhibits designed circulation patterns and flow rates.
Here's some things you can do to improve circulation in your pool, should it be lacking.
- Point eyeball return fittings in the same direction, to create a circular flow pattern around the pool.
- Robotic pool cleaners can be a big help, especially in pools with abandoned main drains.
- Brush your pool! It not only improves circulation, but de-dusts the surfaces, so it can be filtered.
- Go swimming! Nothing helps circulation quite so much as some active swimmers in the pool.

MADRID/LISBON (Reuters) - Police and protesters clashed in Spain on Wednesday as millions of workers went on strike across Europe to protest spending cuts they say have made the economic crisis worse.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled, car factories and ports were at a standstill and trains barely ran in Spain and Portugal where unions held their first ever coordinated general strike.
Riot police arrested at least two protesters in Madrid and hit others with batons, witnesses said, and in Rome students pelted police with rocks in a protest over money-saving plans for the school system.
International rail services were disrupted by strikes in Belgium and workers in Greece, Italy and France planned work stoppages or demonstrations as part of a "European Day of Action and Solidarity".
"We're on strike to stop these suicidal policies," said Candido Mendez, head of Spain's second-biggest labor federation, the General Workers' Union, or UGT.
More than 60 people were arrested in Spain and 34 injured, 18 of them security officials after scuffles at picket lines and damage to storefronts.
Protesters jammed cash machines with glue and coins and plastered anti-government stickers on shop windows. Power consumption dropped 16 percent with factories idled.
International lenders and some economists say the programs of tax hikes and spending cuts are necessary for putting public finances back on a healthy track after years of overspending.
While several southern European countries have seen bursts of violence, a coordinated and effective regional protest to the austerity has yet to gain traction and governments have so far largely stuck to their policies.
Spain, where the crisis has pushed millions into poverty, has seen some of the biggest protests. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is trying to put off asking for European aid that could require even more budget cuts.
Passion was inflamed when a Spanish woman jumped to her death last week as bailiffs tried to evict her from her home. Spaniards are furious at banks being rescued with public cash while ordinary people suffer.
In Portugal, which accepted an EU bailout last year, the streets have been quieter but public and political opposition to austerity is mounting, threatening to derail new measures sought by Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho.
His centre-right government was forced by protests to abandon a planned increase in employee payroll charges, but replaced it by higher taxes.
Passos Coelho's policies were held up this week as a model by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is despised in much of southern Europe for insisting on austerity as a condition of her support for EU aid.
"I'm on strike because those who work are basically being blackmailed into sacrificing more and more in the name of debt reduction, which is a big lie," said Daniel Santos de Jesus, 43, who teaches architecture at the Lisbon Technical University.
Some 5 million people, or 22 percent of the workforce, are union members in Spain. In Portugal about a quarter of the 5.5 million strong workforce is unionized.
Major demonstrations were planned for the evening in Madrid, Lisbon, Barcelona and other cities.
Just 20 percent of Spain's long-distance trains and a third of its commuter trains were running. Lisbon's Metro was completely shut and only 10 percent of all trains will run under a court-ordered minimum service.
In Barcelona, Spain's second-biggest city, hundreds of trash containers were taken off the streets to stop them being burnt.
More than 600 flights were cancelled in Spain, mainly by Iberia and budget carrier Vueling. Portugal's flag carrier TAP cancelled roughly 45 percent of flights.
Italy's biggest union, CGIL, also called for a work stoppage of several hours across the country. The transport ministry expected trains and ferries to stop for four hours. Students and teachers were expected to march.
In Greece, which saw a big two-day strike last week while parliament voted on new cuts, unions geared for a march to parliament around midday although police expected a low turnout.
Holding banners reading "Enough is Enough" state workers started rallying on several squares in central Athens on Wednesday morning.
Spain's economy, the euro zone's fourth biggest, will shrink by some 1.5 percent this year, four years after the crash of a decade-long building boom left airports, highways and high-rise buildings disused across the country. Portugal's economy is expected to contract by 3 percent.
Spanish unions have never held two general strikes in one year before. The previous one in March brought factories and ports to a standstill and ignited flashes of street violence.
Unemployment stands at 25 percent and every week brings fresh job cuts. Spain's flagship airline Iberia, owned by UK-based International Airlines Group, said last week it will cut 4,500 jobs. The prestigious El Pais newspaper just laid off almost a quarter of its staff.
"We have to leave something better for our children," said Rocio Blanco, 47, a railway worker on the picket line at Madrid's main rail station, Atocha.

Why Quit Smoking After Diagnosis?
If I already have lung cancer, why should I stop smoking now?
Anil Vachani, MD, Pulmonologist at Penn Medicine adds:
Even if you have been diagnosed with lung cancer, you should still try and quit smoking. There is evidence to suggest that patients who continue to smoke may respond less well to their treatment and thus have worse outcomes clinical with their lung cancer. Patients may also have more side effects from treatment if they continue to smoke. Quitting smoking also reduces your chance of developing future lung cancer, head and neck cancer, or other cancers, such as esophageal, bladder, etc, as well as several other conditions like heart disease. We hope that you will be cured from this lung cancer, but if continued smoking results in you getting a second cancer in the lungs or nearby structures, it may be very difficult safely treat you with more surgery or radiation therapy, and you, unfortunately, may not have another curative option for treatment in the future.

DQM x Vans 'Square Ones'
DQM will be releasing its Summer 14 footwear collection in collaboration with Vans next Thursday, August 7th. Made exclusively for DQM, the shoes are inspired by the utility and economy of a basic, what it means for a product to be useful, to be essential or classic. The concept is inspired by the Japanese 'Muji' brand of utility items, as well as fashion classics: blue jeans, white t-shirt, M-65, black leather motorcycle jacket.
A true 'basic' is designed with simplicity, utility and economy in mind; a basic is something that works. Considering what the aesthetic and functional qualities of a manufactured product would be if you only had one of it, DQM has pared back Vans' Sk8-Hi, Old Skool and Authentic styles to the very essentials. Built to be worn daily, the shoes are constructed in a light-weight cotton ripstop fabric that won't tear, in a wear with anything white. They feature tracer cord laces that won't break, a flexible and washable light-weight Ortholite insole, and deconstructed styling including stitched side stripes.
Produced in a limited edition, the Square Ones collection will be available in men's and women's sizes at The Vans DQM General in SoHo, New York and The Vans DQM General on Newbury St. in Boston, MA, as well as online at dqmnewyork.com, on August 7th.

The UK provides "Statutory Sick Pay" SSP to provide people who are temporarily unemployed (up to 28 weeks per annum) due to ill health with an income – becuase employers are not required to pay them while they are ill. Small and medium sized businesses cannot afford to give thier employees the benefit of normal pay during illness.
The standard weekly rate for SSP is £85.85 a week. Try living on that! My weekly living costs, even without work related travel are substantially more than £85.85 per week.
My sick note is for 4 weeks off work from the date of the operation, 5 weeks after the accident. If I took that time I would have to live-off my savings. I started working again before my savings were touched.
I can't afford to be sick

Fully Licensed & Bonded
Situated mid-way along the south coast of the Dodecanesian
island of Kos, Kardamena is one of the most popular resorts in
Greece, particularly with young Brits looking for a lively and
entertaining holiday. Once a small fishing village, the town is now
very commercialised with scores of English-style pubs and
restaurants, and tightly packed apartment blocks. A wide variety of
watersports can be organised from the long sandy beach and the
Kardamena resort is well-placed for those who want to explore the
island's fascinating interior.
The main beach in Kardamena is ideal for lazy days in the sun
and for watersports - everything from pedalos to jet skiing and
banana rides can be organised, as well as scuba diving and
snorkelling. Other beaches with watersports are Banana Beach and
Sovereign Beach. The aptly-named Bubble Beach is popular, and
nearby Helona Beach is recognised by the Blue Flag programme. There
are fascinating historical sites scattered around the island to see
while on holiday, particularly in the capital Kos Town, 40 minutes
away. Further afield, boat tours can be arranged to the spectacular
volcanic island of Nisyros and to Rhodes (though be aware the
journey takes almost three hours).
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, divided into 100 cents.
Banks and bureaux de change are widely available and travellers
cheques and major credit cards are widely accepted. ATMs are
widespread and are generally the cheapest and most convenient
method of obtaining euros.
Holiday visitors should be warned that all the bars on the main
strip along the Kardamena seafront have loads of touts working for
them, trying to get tourists in, which can become annoying after a
few nights. Drinks can be expensive, for Greece; it's best to stick
to the local beers.
It's not quite Ibiza, but the nightlife in Kardamena is still
fairly intense, with dozens of bars and clubs catering for all
musical tastes, from indie classics in the aptly named Stone Roses
Bar to cheesy pop in Cheeky Monkeys. The main nightclubs are
Status, Starlight, Honey and Downtown, which all stay open until
4am, and 6am at weekends.
There is a wide choice of restaurants in Kardamena to suit all
tastes, from Indian and traditional Greek to fast food joints and
cafes offering full English breakfasts and Premiership football.
Even those with a penchant for good home food should try the local
fare, at least once. Good Greek restaurants include Andreas, Scala,
the Chrisopoulos Family Taverna and El Greco, all on the
Kardamena is packed with shops offering everything from designer
clothes to tacky holiday souvenirs. Most are located around the
main square. Good buys include the local jewellery and sponge (from
the Nisyros volcano). For those in self-catering apartments, there
are some good supermarkets offering most of the well-known brands.
The two largest, both called Louis, are situated in the main square
and by the bridge at the top of Main Bar Street. There are also
some interesting local markets, including one on Bodrum, across the
water in Turkey (Tuesdays).

Bicycle Tires: What Should You Choose?: Orange Bicycle Tires
Bicycle tires are a lot more than just hard rubber over tubes and a nozzle for pumping them up in case of a flat. With today's technology and knowledge about the sport of cycling, tires come in an amazing array of sizes and tread styles to suit both on and off road riding. Learn about the various types so you know what to put on your bike the next time you hit the streets or the trails.
Racing Bicycle Tires – For people who get into street racing or simply ride their bicycle a lot on paved pathways, slick tires are the best bet. These ones are usually relatively narrow and do not cause a lot of friction on the road. Semi-slick types also exist. These combine the low friction with better handling and a bit more strength in case of debris in the road.
Off-road Bicycle Tires – Wider, heavier and with a considerable tread, bicycle tires designed for mountain biking and off-road use have to be stronger to withstand the jabs of sharp rocks and the possibility of landing heavy after going over a branch or small jump. These are sometimes also called knobby tires And help with both protection and traction on loose ground.
Recreational Use and Everyday Writing Bicycle Tires – If you are casual bike rider and just travel around the town or take occasional jaunts down a well-groomed trail, you do not need any special bicycle tires with an aerodynamic profile or rugged tread. If you have to replace the stock tires, get something similar to what was originally on the bike.
The fascinating digital imagery is part of Bicycle Tires: What Should You Choose? has dimension 1206 x 905 pixel. You can download and gain the Orange Bicycle Tires images by click the download button below to get multiple high-res versions.

HOUSTON - It's a major milestone for the Perkins family. Born in April, the three boys and three girls are finally home.
The last baby, little Leah, was discharged from Texas Children's Pavilion for Women Monday and she went out with a bang. Her five brothers and sisters, Benjamin, Allison, Levi, Andrew and Caroline, joined her for a send off celebration.
Each child was hugged and held by the countless staff members who watched over the babies from day one.
Their dad, David Perkins said, "It took longer than we expected (for the babies to be discharged) and we were prepared for the roller coaster experience of the NICU, but that's all in the past now. We're just excited to bring her home."
Mom Lauren Perkins added, "It's exciting and a little nerve-wracking to just to have six and (Leah) has some special needs, so that makes it a little more challenging."
Leah still wears a feeding tube to help with digestive issues after two corrective surgeries, but developmentally, she and her siblings are doing great.
Lauren and David Perkins said home is "organized chaos" -- a lot of noise, a lot of mess, but a lot of fun, too.
David Perkins said, "I appreciate that we have no choice but to live life to the fullest. I appreciate the fact that our house will be full of life. There will never be a dull moment."
Lauren Perkins added, "Words can't describe how grateful we are. We couldn't manage without all the help, without friends and family and neighbors who come over every day."
Thanks to that help, Lauren and David Perkins have even be able to enjoy a few date nights and get some real sleep on occasion.
As the Perkins family left the Pavilion for Women, the hospital welcomed its first set of quintuplets born to Sarah and Bruce Plauche of Lake Charles.

Nuit Blanche from Spy Films on Vimeo.
"Nuit Blanche," by Arev Manoukian.
Nuit Blanche from Spy Films on Vimeo.
When the two broke out of protective their shells with a kiss of kisses, they could never put their shells back together again and became one. I admire the film maker for using visuals that tell the story without dialogue.
Should've taken the blue pill.
When the two broke out of protective their shells with a kiss of kisses...
Or maybe they were just cool special effects without much deeper meaning.
Interesting "Nuit Blanche" translates as "white night" but means "a sleepless night". Ironic given the film noir technique.
But again, the film has more effect than meaning.
C3... Don't give up. She is waiting out there somewhere for your kiss that will shatter her old boundaries so that you two can build new ones together.(also See, The Song of Songs).
I just do see the metaphor. I mean the film ends with them still behind their protective shells
It just felt too much like that fight scene on the highway on the semi's in "Matrix Reloaded" (here) also a "confused" movie (but really cool!!!)
C3...I take it that Matrix reloaded is not a Disney Film? I still like the famous Pasternak line from Dr Zhivago to the effect that some people need to keep life and love going on while the warriors for Scientific of Materialism crush human life in their noble goal of killing imperfect life. So this maybe Lara and Zhivago seeing one another in Siberia.
So this maybe Lara and Zhivago seeing one another in Siberia.
Wow, that seems like a stretch to me. And from a director who was so "nature-oriented" (i.e. beautiful wide screen landscape shots)
But I LOVE ZHIVAGO
As John Ford observed, "The pictures tell the story. The words are only there to make the pictures make a little more sense".
traditionalguy said...
C3... Don't give up. She is waiting out there somewhere for your kiss that will shatter her old boundaries so that you two can build new ones together.(also See, The Song of Songs).
I like the way you think.
Pretty nice. "Sleepless Nights" by Gram & Emmylou gives me chills...
also See, The Song of Songs)
details please
More "cool stuff". The Making of Nuit Blanche
I bet there's a Director's cut out there somewhere.
She didn't really go through the glass and the car didn't really hit him.
I'm piling on now but...
The Director IS the Cinematographer...
so pretty pictures but limited narrative
C3...That is also called Song of Solomon in the scriptures ( in the X-rated section) and written as a metaphor for the Christ and his bride. And the details are all there. The lady sees her lover's beauty in a living and sweet smelling body and he sees her's the same way, much like this Video, and they consumate their intimate and passionate relationship, and then they lose touch and long for reuniting with the other like Zhivago and Lara. One of the famous closing lines is that "love is stronger than death". Who knew that Jehovah was a romantic.
Oh that song of songs, yeah I knew that. I thought there was some movie named "Song of Songs"
PS: I rummaged around the Spy films site. Now this this is what was missing from the Winter Olympics.
Now this this is what was missing from the Winter Olympics.
Am I totally a terrible person? I laughed out loud at that.
C3...The French commentater sees a smart Swiss competitor blown away by a German's superior weapon. That is tres jolie. Only an Austrian named Freud could understand the depth of meaning behind that one. But the subject is KISSING, not large male weapons. They come later on. Never forget the foreplay.
The music is terrific. I wouldn't mind hearing Theo expound on it, but I think it suits the hyper-realism, dream sequence quality of the film.
Better that many of the Oscar nominated stuff.
This reminds me of the first 15 minutes of "Up". Film making at it's finest. It tells the story of how Carl and Ellie met, and how they spent their lives together. Most of that segment is told visually, and it's stunning in its effectiveness. Seen that three times, and cried each time! If I were to write a textbook on how to make movies, whether live action or animated, that segment would get a whole chapter. Just for that segment alone, I would give it the Oscar.
PS. I majored in Telecommunications, specializing in radio / video / film production.

You don't need parcel shelf speakers especially in a small car. A good set of front speakers and a sub will sound much better.
Basically, i have a Renault Clio Biarritz (1998) which has the standard speakers which are awful and fuzzy. The previous owner had the whole sound thing which was stolen along with the parcel shelf.
I know absolutely nothing about cars and speakers but i want to buy just a standard pair of speakers which are acceptable which i can listen to loud music on, im not bothers about getting a system i just want speakers which are cheap and will make me happy!
So i guess to start i would need to buy a parcel shelf which i was thinking to have a look in a local scrap yard. But as for the speakers where could i maybe get pre owned ones and how would i go about fitting them and is it easy enough to fit
so as you can see i know next to nothing! so please could someone help just to but and install a pair of speakers
p.s the reason i say about fitting them in the parcel shelf is as this seems the easiest way to do it rather than in the door or anywhere else??
thank you, yes it nay sound better but i am trying to do the easiest way.. so i thought if i put front speakers in i would have to drill a hole in the door etc. and i am clueless. I am not looking to have big loud speakers and a sub i just need a set of speakers which are better than mine as they crumble and are basically terrible and i thought the easiest and cheapest way of going about it would be to fit speakers in to the parcel shelf. but i do not have a clue but the previous owner had speakers and there is a wire going into the booth with two leads... would this jus tplug into one speaker and the two speakers are connected together or would that of plugged into a sub and the speakers are connected to the sub?
what are they connected to?
the head unit?
an amp?
are they run in parallel from the rear speakers?
do you have rear speakers?
you cant replace normal speakers with parcel shelf speakers unless you drive the car from the back seat or they will sound rather odd coming from the back
just replace the normal door speakers if they are breaking up. you wont have to drill a hole just use the same hole you took the speakers out off
do you have tweeters?
tweeters are the liitle speakers about an inch wide that are higher than your normal speakers and allot tinnier.
if im honest you need alot off education on this subject. more than i can give you anyway.
try searching this first http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=how+to+replace+door+speakers&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org
and might be an idea to pop down to halfords and see if they will fit new speakers for you. halfords arnt the best at audio but for OEM speaker replacement im sure there fine
if its broke, fix it......if it ant broke, mod it!

Smartphones as a Resource for Understanding PeopleZeit: Tue 11.2.2014, 14:30, 60 Minuten
Ort: Science Park 3, HS 19
ZusammenfassungCommodity smart phones have made the visions of ubiquitous computing common place. We call these phones "smart phones" simply because they have a mobile operating system, not because they are smart. In fact, they are pretty dumb. They know nothing about their users, despite the fact that they spend hours a day with them. The Ubicomp lab at Carnegie Mellon University has been using these phones to collect a wide variety of data to enable a wide variety of context-aware user experiences, focusing on experiences that require a truly "smart" phone. In this talk, I will provide an overview of our projects and will discussion a number of assumptions we make about phone usage that are wrong and will dramatically impact the way we design mobile smartphone applications.
VortragenderAnind K. Dey is an Associate Professor in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He is the director of the Ubicomp Lab, which erforms research at the intersection of ubiquitous computing, human-computer interaction and machine learning, in the areas of mobile computing, health and sustainability among others. He has authored over 100 papers on these topics and serves on the editorial board of several journals. Anind received his PhD in computer science from Georgia Tech, along with a Masters of Science in both Computer Science and Aerospace Engineering.

Staff writer
A Marion County Road and Bridge Department crew put a fresh layer of gravel over 230th Road this past week.
To Dina Vogel, who lives on 230th, it was about time something was done. She said she is tired of having to complain so forcefully to have the ruts driven in by oil trucks repaired on her road.
"There are problem spots all over the county," she said. "The only way you get things done is you find cell phone numbers and keep asking for it. The squeaky wheel gets the grease."
Road and Bridge Superintendent Randy Crawford does agree with Vogel that oil trucks on gravel roads have been a problem. He said he will request the most frequent drivers of gravel roads to pay for road maintenance, possibly using their own motor grader for roads like 230th and 250th.
"Eventually it will happen," Crawford said of oil companies paying for road maintenance.
Crawford brought the condition of 250th Road to the attention of Marion County Commission on Monday.
Crawford understands Vogel's dilema, but he said 230th is far from the most traveled gravel road in the county. The county has 745 gravel roads it is charged to maintain. Crawford said it is impossible to rock every road every year.
Gravel costs between $9 and $10 per ton. Crawford said it takes 800 tons of gravel to do an inch overlay for a mile, nearly $10,000. He also said the rock budget for this year is nearly depleted. He said he is attempting to get a reimbursement in federal exchange money.
Crawford and Vogel also agreed that the road maintainer for 230th Gene Lanning has done a great job working on the road.
"Gene is doing a great job putting a crown on the road and getting water off," Crawford said.
In other business:
- Crawford informed the commission that he was intending to purchase a wood chipper to help trimming trees throughout the county. He said having the chipper would limit the amount of burning the county would have to do. He said the current price for the machine is $2,500, but the maximum bid the county would offer would be $5,000.
- Crawford also told the commission about a Kansas Department of Transportation sale of equipment. He pointed out a backhoe but commissioners turned down that request because of a lack of funding.

Written by Sally Wainwright ("Scott and Bailey," "Unforgiven," "At Home With the Braithwaites") and directed by Euros Lyn ("Black Mirror," "Sherlock") and Jill Robertson (Law & Order: UK), LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX tells the story of love struck septuagenarians Alan (Jacobi) and Celia (Anne Reid) who rediscover their love for each other later in life — 60 years, in fact, after they first met.

Made by Red Production Company for the BBC, LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX is produced by Karen Lewis with Nicola Shindler, Sally Wainwright and Matthew Read as the executive producers.
The six-part series returns as Alan and Celia continue to negotiate family baggage to plan a life together. Having come so close to losing each other forever thanks to Alan's near fatal heart attack, he and Celia decide to have a romantic secret wedding as soon as possible. But how will their respective daughters react? The uptight Caroline and rebellious Gillian are discovering they actually quite like each other, however Gillian's need to own up to her night with Caroline's ex-husband John could jeopardize the soon-to-be stepsisters' fledgling friendship. As secrets from the past come tumbling out and family members adjust to changing relationships, can Alan and Celia find the long-awaited happiness they deserve?
"LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX captured the hearts of millions of viewers," said Beth Hoppe, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, General Audience Programming, PBS. "We are excited to continue the love story between Alan and Celia and work with Red Production and the BBC on an exciting second season. We're also thrilled that we'll be giving the acclaimed Derek Jacobi an additional opportunity to shine later in the evening with VICIOUS."

Amy's Pizza is voted the best by Consumer Reports!
DENVER - When you're in a pinch for dinner frozen pizza can come to the rescue. Sales topped more than three billion dollars this past year - with the "It's not delivery.... It's DiGiorno" pizza the top seller. But is that the best-tasting pizza? Consumer Reports put it and 15 other cheese pizzas to the test, and Amy's came out on top!
Consumer Reports' sensory panelists tasted more than 800 slices. A great-tasting pizza should have a crust that tastes fresh-baked, flavorful cheese, and sauce with fresh-tasting spices. And though pizza isn't exactly diet food, it turns out some are more nutritional than others.
Among the worst for nutrition - Red Baron Fire Baked Thin Crust 5 Cheese and Totino's Crisp Crust Triple Cheese Pizza. Totino's was the lowest rated for taste, too.
It turns out none of the pizzas rated Excellent. Still, many did rate Very Good. Even better - the tastiest also rated good for nutrition.
That pizza was Amy's Cornmeal Crust Three Cheese Pizza. It costs about $8.
With goat cheese and a cornmeal crust, it's not the most traditional pizza. Testers said it was a tasty change from the same old cheese pizza.
