issuance of debt by the United States. The President shall cause US Treasury debt to be issued or redeemed as necessary to facilitate control of the interest rate, but without regard to the level of spending or taxation. In order to promote the general welfare, the President shall, from time to time, and at his sole discretion, authorize the disbursement of funds to the governments of the several States, in proportion to their populations as determined in the most recent census. The Congress shall place no restrictions on the use of such funds by the States. Any portions of existing laws that contradict portions of this amendment are nullified, but other portions of such laws shall remain in effect until acted upon by the Congress. This amendment shall remain in force only so long as the United States is monetarily sovereign." I don't think it is a necessary condition for MMT-inspired policies to be pursued, although it would streamline the process. Mostly I think that to the extent that it got publicity, it would generate opportunities for wider public discussion of the 7 DIF. Fatal flaw? I'm having trouble getting past your assertion that "The US government is the issuer of the US dollar." The currency we use has printed on it "Federal Reserve Note" not "U.S. Treasury Note." My understanding is that the Federal Reserve is a private corporation, not an agency of the U.S. government.

Great experiences with Adventure Capital Don't just take our word for it! Have a look at what others have said about their experiences with us: "We just got back from a car camping holiday around NZ; rented a 2-person kit through Adventure Capital. Brilliant! Everything we needed and more...advice on where to stay very good and everyone we dealt with at this company was amazingly friendly and helpful. Thank you." Jan & Terry, Brisbane, Australia "I had a full day to spend in Auckland while waiting for my connecting flight -- rented a bike from Adventure Capital and had an excellent day out exploring the waterfront, big park where the musuem is and around the harbour bridge area where all the boats are...highly recommended...staff were amazing to deal with and excellent advice on where to go for lunch!

the FASB aiming to reach a common global approach, we will emphasise our position in favour of a mixed measurement model over one that requires full fair value measurement on the balance sheet. We will seek to reach common agreement on a forward-looking model for loan-loss provisioning and a simplified hedging methodology. I remain optimistic that we can overcome our current differences. I know that my counterpart at the FASB, Bob Herz, is equally committed to reconciling any differences. To this end, we have enhanced our co operation over recent months and have stepped up the joint meetings of our boards and staff. We at the IASB recognise the importance of our work on financial instruments, not only in Europe, but globally. The financial crisis has highlighted the critical nature of financial reporting to the functioning of markets and the importance of achieving a single set of high-quality accounting standards. I am pleased today to report that by taking urgent action, and by listening to stakeholders in Europe and elsewhere, the IASB will deliver a significantly improved financial instruments standard dealing with the classification and measurement of financial assets in November. | SP | SP FS | 468,313 |
it publicly but it led to our brand idea. Step 5: Strategy statement I've come across a lot of 'strategic thinking' that doesn't seem to have a strategy. It has some observations (mis-called 'insights') and a clunky single-minded proposition slightly connected to some of the observations. But ultimately, a concise strategy statement is a useful way to ground your prop and creative idea. A To/By statement may come in handy for this. Step 6: Proposition or core strategic idea Whatever you want to call this thing, it's the guts of your strategy. It links and evolves the insight and brand truth in an interesting way. It's a handful of words. Personally, I believe there's no role for an account planner unless they can flip the perspective on a problem/opportunity/brand/person. Of course, if you put in chunky thoughts and the creative teams you work with aren't used to it they may say you're putting in ideas. I agree. You are. That's the point. But you're not putting in Creative Ideas or Advertising Ideas. They still need to make a whole lot of leaps with your stimulus and take it to a whole other level. (For more on ideas, read How to explain an idea -- a mega post ) I typically walk the proposition around the office before I make it official. I don't mind at all if someone makes it better.

Timo, obviously you finished second here in 2009. Is that one of the reasons why you say this is your favourite race? Timo GLOCK: No, in general it's just the event here, the show. The first time we were here in 2008 I just the track and the event and for sure being on the podium was a great experience and good to be back to it and enjoy the time here. So what is it about the track itself? TG: The European races have enough run-off areas and here it's a bit different, the same like Monaco. If you do a mistake you end up in the wall and that's the challenging part here. I believe you only arrived this morning however. Are you a little bit worried about getting acclimatised? TG: No. I do that every year because we stay on European time. I just arrived this morning, went to the hotel and slept until 1pm or 1.30pm and I'm in the rhythm, so no problem. I'm not the only one who arrived so late. Nico, great potential in Monza but less so here. They're very different circuits. How do you feel about this track? Nico HULKENBERG: To be honest, quite positive. I think If anything this kind of circuit should suit us a bit more -- quite a lot of slow-speed corners. There's not really one high-speed corner here.

involving people using multiple identities. TONY NEGUS: Now despite this effort however, there remains insufficient evidence to charge any of the syndicate members with a criminal offence at this time. AMY BAINBRIDGE: The commissioner says the investigation is complex, covering multiple legal jurisdictions and languages, and that the AFP did have information from Four Corners before Monday's broadcast, but not enough to lay charges. TONY NEGUS: It's one thing to paint them in a damning light in a television program, but having enough admissible evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt in a court of law in this country is a different thing. AMY BAINBRIDGE: For now, Captain Emad is at large. Police say they have an idea where he is, but won't elaborate. It appears unlikely he'll be arrested and brought back to Australia. TONY NEGUS: The AFP is not in possession of enough evidence at this time to arrest him in Australia, so there's little likelihood he would be arrested overseas and returned to Australia unless there is more evidence that can be collected prior to that point. AMY BAINBRIDGE: The Opposition has seized on the case to blame the Immigration Minister. SCOTT MORRISON, OPPOSITION IMMIGRATION SPOKESMAN: I think Minister Bowen had a duty to inquire as to whether he could have cancelled Captain Emad's visa, even thought it was a permanent protection visa, given the information that he had available to him.

Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to, only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer. The maxim is so perfectly self-evident, that it would be absurd to attempt to prove it. It cannot be very difficult to determine who have been the contrivers of this whole mercantile system; not the consumers, whose interest has been entirely neglected; but the producers, whose interest has been so carefully attended to.

The first duty of the sovereign, that of protecting the society from the violence and invasion, can be performed only by means of a military force. The art of war, as it is certainly the noblest of all arts, so, it necessarily becomes one of the most complicated. The state can make provision for public defence by a militia, where citizens of military age are obliged to join in some measure the trade of a soldier to whatever other trade or profession they may happen to carry on. Or, it may employ a certain number of citizens as a standing army. A militia is the less expensive, but a standing army is by far the more efficient defence. The second duty of | IN | IN | 434,928 |

loud music, regardless of the genre, and the feeling of the music shaking through my body makes me feel sick instantly. I am also claustrophobic; just thinking about being surrounded by hundreds of other students flailing their limbs wildly to the already-feared deafening music in a dark-ish room makes me nervous! Also, with regards to being social, I don't drink alcohol. Or any drink other than water. Not sparkling either; just regular water. (People used to say that this was a pretty good metaphor for me...). It's not a moral thing; it just makes me feel sick to drink anything other than water. However, all the media that I am receiving seems to imply that university, and Freshers Week in particular, is just going to be a combination of these three things; a huge drinks-fest in a really loud and crowded club. (Just want to make this clear early on; I'm not at all opposed to people doing this sort of thing! It's just not my cup of... water.) There are loads of other reasons to make people think I am boring as well: Spoiler: Other than being someone who doesn't drink, doesn't enjoy clubbing and likes peace and quiet, I don't have any major hobbies, I don't play or follow any sports, I don't usually talk a lot, I'm not familiar with modern music of any genre... or any music actually, I'm bad at video games, I have a serious-sounding voice and a serious-looking face even when I'm smiling, | ID | ID DF QA | 3,134,243 |
schools for electrical engineering to do stuff related to music or audio it was not considered a worthy academic pursuit. Thankfully, that has changed now. At the time, the emphasis was on physical modeling of musical acoustics at CCRMA. I was into audio processing devices, speakers, and microphones. All of the other students were doing physical modeling of musical acoustics. I thought - why can't you do physical modeling of audio effects processing? It made me want to do the kind of emulations we do here at UA. How did the first UA plug-ins came about? Back '95 or '96, I was talking to my friend Dave Berners at CCRMA. I had brought along schematics of the LA-2A, and some other compressors, like the DBX 160 . We ended up talking about using physical modeling to simulate the characteristics and essence of these devices. This kicked off an ongoing discussion starting at Stanford in the mid-90s up until 2000. At this point time, the UAD-1 was on the drawing board and we needed to come up with the first set of plugs that would come out and make the UAD a viable product. So we started with the 1176, the LA2A, and a couple channel strips and other more generic stuff. We felt that magnetics were going to be one of the harder things to model on the digital side so one of the first things we did was put a transformer model together.

at 42 zettabytes if digitized as 16 kHz 16-bit audio. This was done in response to a popular expression that states "all words ever spoken by human beings" could be stored in approximately 5 exabytes of data (see exabyte for details). Liberman did "freely confess that maybe the authors [of the exabyte estimate] were thinking about text." [12] Research from the University of Southern California reports that in 2007, humankind successfully sent 1.9 zettabytes of information through broadcast technology such as televisions and GPS. [13] Leo, it's from 1997. I had more text describing the timing but for some reason it messed up the RSS feed so I just removed all the nonessentials. I also added some more modern stats from wikipedia for some of the larger values. yeah but ... most of the information being transmitted today is redundant. ain't no optimal compression going on and almost all of it is just copies of something somewhere else. it all compresses down to something smaller than google trends. 1024 bytes is a "kibibyte", at least since 1998 or so. I can understand the mistake though, if you are old and haven't really been keeping up with the news. A lot of people became programmers in the early 90s and kept the bad prefixes our forefathers invented. Those people in the past didn't really understand how SI units work. | IN | IN DT | 3,179,817 |
I would have to say job well done Mathews "I went from a hand-me-down 6 and year old Mathews Q2 to the new Z7 Xtreme that I purchased. HUGE, awesome difference!!! Yes, it draws smooth. Yes, it is forgiving. But what impressed me most is the speed at which it does all this. I shoot 100 grain field points on GoldTip XT Hunters 5575 arrows with no drop from 10 yards to 35 yards. In my neck of the woods, our longest bow shots are usually 25 yards! So there really is no point in having so many pins on your sight which is really helpful. Some people complain about the bow being shorter, but for me it's a huge plus- Our stands are mostly box stands that are not real tall or very deep so it really helps having a more compact bow to contend with. All in all, I would have to say job well done Mathews. Keep up the good work. Catch them if you can!" | OP | OP RV | 479,756 |

When his wife was 15 our son was 16 her 24 year old sister took them out supposed to be to a movie. But instead bought them liquor and let them have unprotected sex. She got pregnant But it was balmed on me for allowing it. So when our son was 17 and his wife and thier baby was 1 her mother brought them to our house and dumped them in our front yard and drove off. So we supported them until son was18 and guit school to get a job and moved out. That lasted 6 months and they lost the place, Because her sister moved in with them and my husband let son move back in. And sons wife went back to her parents with her kid. But in 6 weeks she was back. So they got another place and everytime we turn around they move back in. I say NO and my son wife goes to my husband and he says YES.

close enough to him to make amends. I have richly deserved this, for all that I was so unhappy because of his coldness and anger towards me and the breakdown of our physical relationship. He now says that he still loves me but does not want to live with me--we are nicer to each other than we have been for years but the existence of this baby puts a barrier between us which we will never overcome. I feel I was to some extent blinded to the shortcomings of my lover by my need for affection and intimacy and it was very stupid to look for such things with someone else instead of trying to sort out the problems in my marriage. After a certain point it was just too late to mend things and I have come to realise the full measure of what I threw away. I feel like just driving off a cliff most days but I have my children to consider.

goods at low prices. Reflecting the colourfulculture, Rajasthani clothes have a lot of mirror-work and embroidery. A Rajasthani traditional dress for females comprises an ankle-length skirt and a short top, also known as a lehenga or a chaniya choli . A piece of cloth is used to cover the head, both for protection from heat and maintenance of modesty. Rajasthani dresses are usually designed in bright colours like blue, yellow and orange. The main religious festivals are Deepawali , Holi , Gangaur , Teej , Gogaji , Shri Devnarayan Jayanti , Makar Sankranti and Janmashtami , as the main religion is Hinduism . Rajasthan's desert festival is held once a year during winter. Dressed in brilliantly hued costumes, the people of the desert dance and sing ballads. There are fairs with snake charmers, puppeteers, acrobats and folk performers. Camels play a role in this festival. Spirit possession has been documented in modern Rajasthan. Some of the spirits possessing Rajasthanis are seen as good and beneficial, while others are seen as malevolent. The good spirits include murdered royalty, the underworld god Bhaironji , and Muslim saints. Bad spirits include perpetual debtors who die in debt, stillborn infants, deceased widows, and foreign tourists. The possessed individual is referred to as a ghorala ("mount"). Possession, even if it is by a benign spirit, is regarded as undesirable, as it entails loss of self-control and violent emotional outbursts. [ 31 ] During recent years, Rajasthan has made significant progress in the area of education. | IN | IN EN | 9,995,980 |
Tuesday poem: My lover Jim November 5, 2012 My lover Jim is ramrod straight, and flexible as steel. Once he's on top, it's hard to make him shift. He makes me sigh, and grunt and feel pain, though sometimes I can just lift him before he renders me 2D. I have swooned and swallowed blood. Nausea breaks like a fainting sea, and I have to stop before it floods. My legs at such weird wide angles kicking the heavy sky; or squats: my hair sweated into ratty tangles, and arms tied in barbarous knots. Knees squeak like fearful rodents in the famous verse by Burns, Robbie as I scythe myself into components. He's more an addiction than just a hobby.

Brussels. A spokesman for Eurostar advised passengers to allow a little extra time to clear immigration because of anticipated "slightly longer" queuing times. With the contingency plans still unclear Eurotunnel voiced fears that motorists using the shuttle train across the Channel could face delays with traffic backing up onto the French motorway network. "We still don't know how many staff will go on strike," said a Eurotunnel spokesman. "Although traffic volumes will be low, it doesn't take long for queues to build up and frustration grows very quickly." Back in Britain, Gatwick airport is drawing up its own contingency plans to handle the 28,000 arrivals due on Wednesday. It is setting aside holding areas within terminals to accommodate passengers, rather than leaving them on aircraft until the immigration hall can deal with them. Meanwhile Heathrow said it had received an encouraging response from airlines to its appeal to fly planes half empty to ease pressure on the airport. Several airlines, including Virgin Atlantic, British Airways and bmi have said that passengers can reschedule their flights if they wish to avoid arriving during the strike. However Heathrow has the option of cancelling flights if necessary to keep the airport moving and prevent the chaos extending throughout the week. | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 522,898 |
make a difference! Portfolio: topleftdesign.com Twitter: @topleftdesign How Did You Get Into the Web Design Industry? I was at university, studying graphic design and visual communication. It was way back in 1996, when the internet had practically only just been invented! Well perhaps I exaggerate a bit. But I entered the Royal Society of Art Student Design Competition, which is a nationwide contest. I did an animation/"virtual world" project, and my submission won first prize. The prize was work experience with Pearson Entertainment Group -- and I got to work at The Financial Times, Penguin Books, and Future Publishing, over the course of 3 months. It was at Penguin Books where I learned to design and build sites and learned HTML -- as we were making a microsite for each book. So, that's how I first started in website design! As soon as I graduated from university, I applied for a job at a company to be a website designer, and I got a call the same day. I had an interview that week and they offered me a job on the spot. The experience I had by then was very valuable, so it was quite easy to get my first "real" job as a website designer. Do You Think There is a Lack of Female Web Designers?

Post navigation Don't eat the daisies (but go for zucchini flowers) When my daughter was tiny, she asked if she could eat flowers, and I told her that while it wasn't impossible, most of the time you couldn't (probably in clearer language that went something along the lines of "not really"). With the little guys it's good to go with blanket rules of thumb -- in this case, I didn't want to find her in the middle of a rose bush at breakfast one morning. Doris Day had the same rule. I used to watch this with my mom, who loves the oldie but goodies. It turns out, though, that if I had found my daughter in the middle of a rosebush having a nibble everything probably would have turned out okay, besides the inevitable thorn injuries. This article highlights the many different flower varieties that are edible, and roses are one of them. I didn't read an article and visit the Botanical Gardens in the middle of the night to get this recipe, but don't put it past me. Finding zucchini flowers was as easy as picking them up at my local organic fruit market/store. I proudly nabbed them as soon as I saw them, partly hoping to impress my daughter who is now old enough to be selective and cautious about which blooms to consume -- a mother would hope, anyway.

cruelly. Last, "uncouth rhymes," "shapeless sculpture," and "many a holy text" that characterize their "frail" cemetery memorials, and even those markers with only a simple name and age at death, "spelt by th' unlettered muse" (81), serve the important universal human needs: to prompt "the passing tribute of a sigh" (80) and to "teach the rustic moralist to die" (84). In the next three stanzas, the narrator -- the "me" who with darkness takes over the world at sunset (4) -- finally reveals why he is in the cemetery, telling the "artless tale" of the "unhonour'd Dead" (93). He is one of them. Like the "rude Forefathers" among whom he is found, the narrator ghost is "to Fortune and to Fame unknown" (118). Like anyone who "This pleasing anxious being e'er resigned," he -- in this narrative itself -- casts "one longing, ling'ring look behind" to life (86-88). As he says, "Ev'n from the tomb the voice of Nature cries" (91). He tells us the literal truth in saying, "Ev'n in our ashes live their wonted fires" (92).

and strong enough to be stuck into the ground and hold up Liquid Ocelot's Outer Haven, it could not slice a slightly mechanically enhanced enemy. The canon tale of Raiden's downfall post-MGS2 and his transformation prior to MGS4 had been lost, replaced by a non-canon post-MGS4 story where Jack seems to fight various cyborgs and Metal Gears for the sake of it. Zan-datsu is apparently still in the game, but was nowhere to be seen in the trailer. Instead of tactically using your environment to injure enemies, cars would be sliced and made to explode for aesthetic effect. The promises of a form of stealth different to any previous game (using your speed to be basically invisible, strength to jump up into the corners of rooms, like Snake in The Twin Snakes) had suddenly vanished. The original Metal Gear Solid: Rising showed a lot of promise. Raiden also has an alter-ego: Jack the Ripper. In my dreams, Raiden would have experienced flashbacks to his child soldier days, preferably in playable sections as a third person shooter.

word is supposed to tell the browser software that it's an italic word. Semantic Web standards are just the same, only we put tags into the markup that only make sense to software. We're all using this already -- the 'meta' tags at the top of just about every webpage around are examples that help describe what is on that page. It's just taking that concept further, and describing individual pieces of content on the page, and tagging those as having a specific purpose. Like tagging a byline 'By Bruce Chapman' as being of type 'author' from a specific taxonomy. Once you've done that, any software can make the correct deduction that the person tagged with 'author' was the one who wrote the page. And that's what Rich Snippets are -- Google terminology for integrating semantic markup in content back into search results. It's how Google works out who is the Author, what the rating or price of a product is, and then inserts that information into the search results pages. The full list of rich snippets for content is Reviews, People, Products, Recipes, Events and Music. No doubt they will add more as time goes by. Read about the full list on the Rich Snippets help topic . But for now, we're just going to concentrate on the Author profile. Getting your Author profile to show up in Google It's really easy to do this. If you can post a Blog post, you can link up your Author picture. | HI | HI HT | 3,319,903 |

Remove all the right wing influence from it's board and all the right wing reporters from its ranks (starting with Uhlmann). Then it will have a hope of returning to its previous position as a quality unbiased broadcaster. jerrybrookman: AT: The Australian is already an unprofitable enterprise. If it was answerable only to the marketplace, as many advocate the ABC should be, The Australian would long ago have been dead and buried. Not that it's gonna trouble anyone doing Rupert's bidding, but The Australian is not speaking on behalf of a massive readership, their advocacy does not have the imprimatur of the "masses". And yet they still wield a level of influence disproportionate to their lowly standing. You have to wonder why Mark Scott and The Drum expended so much energy fending off the bleatings of such a trifling and petty outfit? Well, the answer's pretty obvious, really, the ABC is fending off that old bull, the rampaging Rupert, not some considered, reputable and principled lobby.

the graph: "The GISP2 series -- the red line -- appears to be identical to Easterbrook's version. The bottom black line shows his 1855 "present", and it intersects the red line in the same places as his chart. I've added a grey line based on the +1.44C quantum calculated from the GRIP temperature data, and two blue crosses, which show the GISP2 site temperatures inferred from adjusted GRIP data for 1855 and 2009." It is hard to be clearer than that. Further, to be "mislead", a reader would have to also ignore the information in the graph plotting the temperature change at the GRIP site from 1855 to the present. 2) The clarity and openness with the information in the above article contrasts sharply with the practise of deniers. They either treat the temperature rise evident in the GISP2 core just prior to 1855 as the 20th century temperature rise (as does Easterbrook), or add a bar representing global temperature increase from (typically) 1905. The global temperature increase is significantly smaller than the local temperature increase, and comparing the two is inevitably misleading. Curiously, you find neither of those practises misleading, but find a clear debunking of the worst of them to be misleading because it clearly presents the relevant data. You must be using some non standard definition of "misleading" such as "shows my views on climate to be a house of cards". 3) In addition, Easterbrook's graph is is misleading because it treats a regional temperature index as | IN | IN | 163,058 |

This is an examination of the uterine cavity undertaken without an anaesthetic. Hysteroscopy helps diagnose certain malfunctions and recommends the appropriate treatment. For example, if a myoma or a polyp are found they have to be removed. This can be done during the same procedure or it may be necessary to schedule in a later appointment. Techniques to obtain a semen sample in case of vasectomy In general, when the woman does not have a sterility problem, a semen sample of sufficient quality (to retrieve enough spermatozoa from the ejaculate) has to be obtained to fertilise the eggs. Assisted Reproduction Treatments are a series of delicate techniques carried out jointly by Gynaecologists, Andrologists and Biologists in specialised centres. This procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. By means of a surgical magnifying glass the deferent duct is separated and an incision is made to place a fine catheter inside it. The use of finely calibrated equipment allows for a small quantity of liquid to be gently aspirated. This liquid is studied under a microscope in order to identify and retrieve the spermatozoa which are then frozen to be used in the egg fertilisation. This process can also be carried out in the epididymis according to the opinion of the andrologist in each case. If it is known in advance that quality sperm | IN | IN OI | 773,288 |
need to spend more than we currently spend to cover comprehensive care for everyone. But the initial transition to a universal system would be very disruptive if we spent less. That is because we have a tremendous medical infrastructure, some of which would likely retain its excess capacity during the transition phase. Secondly, we would likely retain salaries for health professionals at their current levels. Thirdly, we would cover much more than most other countries do by including dental care, eye care, and prescriptions. And for these reasons we would need the extra 40% that we are already spending - but NOT more. We could cover all the uninsured and improve coverage for those who have skimpy coverage for the same amount we are currently spending! How much of the health care dollar is publicly financed? Over sixty percent (60.5 percent) of health spending in the U.S. is funded by government. Official figures for 2005 peg government's share of total health expenditure at 45.4 percent, but this excludes two items: 2. Government purchases of private health insurance for public employees such as police officers and teachers. Government paid private insurers $120.2 billion for such coverage in 2005: 24.7 percent of the total spending by U.S. employers for private insurance. So, government's true share amounted to 9.7 percent of gross domestic product in 2005, 60.5 percent of total health spending, or $4,048 per capita (out of total expenditure of $6,697).

School reform efforts in the United States have increasingly come to focus on the identification, recruitment, motivation, and retention of highly effective teachers. This renewed emphasis on teaching and the teaching profession came to national awareness when, in 2009, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced it was phasing out its large investment in small high schools, and instead turning its attention toward teacher quality. 1 President Obama has also indicated a strong desire to improve teacher quality in the public schools, mostly through reforming teacher compensation. In a March 10, 2009 speech, for example, he stated: "It's time to start rewarding good teachers, [and] stop making excuses for bad ones" ( New York Daily News 2009). On July 24, 2009 he went further, adding that rewards should be based on test scores: "Success should be measured by results,,,That's why any state that makes it unlawful to link student progress to teacher evaluations will have to change its ways." 2 School districts have long paid teachers according to the "single salary" schedule, a fixed pay schedule based primarily on education and years of experience. A new conventional wisdom among education reformers has emerged suggesting that this system is outmoded (Hassel 2002; Solmon 2005; Vigdor 2008). The traditional system, reformers argue, fails to attract our best college graduates into teaching and provides practicing teachers no incentives to produce results.

I move, seconded by the member for Swan River (Ms. Wowchuk), that under Rule 31(1) the ordinary business of the House be set aside to discuss a matter of public importance, namely, the refusal of the Minister responsible for the Manitoba Telephone System (Mr. Findlay) to allow hearings in rural and northern Manitoba on Bill 67, The Manitoba Telephone System Reorganization and Consequential Amendments Act.

Nation rallies to safeguard iconic White Cliffs of Dover 12 Nov 2012 A 1.2 million appeal launched by the National Trust in the summer to raise funds to acquire the iconic stretch of the White Cliffs of Dover coastline has reached its target in just 133 days, raising an average of 9,000 per day. The Trust needed the money to buy a 0.8 mile stretch of this world-famous and much-loved piece of the Kent coastline overlooking the port. It completes the missing link of coastline under National Trust care, uniting a stretch of more than 7km (nearly 5 miles) between the Trust's visitor centre and South Foreland Lighthouse. More than 16,000 people and organisations* have supported the White Cliffs of Dover appeal which was launched in June 2012 with an average donation of 40.21 (including Gift Aid) from members of the public. Hundreds of messages of support were posted on a virtual White Cliffs of Dover on the charity's website**. Donations from supporters included a significant contribution from the Dover Harbour Board, which helped the Trust to reach its target earlier than had been anticipated, and support from the Regatta Foundation, Royal Oak Foundation and 16 National Trust supporter groups. The fundraising drive was given a boost in July when a number of household names including Dame Vera Lynn, Dame Judi Dench and the soul singing sensation and Dover-born Joss Stone gave their support.

Second cookbook, very different experience, a specialist subject (a gluten free cookbook for kids) , but one very dear to my heart.

Design wise it lacked everything which makes a book covetable, and despite my banging on and on about being underinvested in, it rang on deaf ears.

high-rise Tokyo apartments. I like this about them, but when I think about spending an hour doing jumping jacks and gnawing on elk jerky, my enthusiasm wanes. Still, I am compelled by new thinking on diet and exercise, and about the effects that certain foods can have on the body. And so it was that I recently embarked on a diet low in sugar and even lower in wheat. Who knew that one could do this and still eat cake? Cake! Not me. Not until a few months ago. I had set out to make the Brown Butter Financier from the Mission Street Food cookbook -- a cake made with browned butter, toasted ground almonds, icing sugar, egg white and just a teensy bit of flour -- when I thought, heck, I'm throwing caution to the wind and leaving that flour out. I won't exaggerate -- it was a minor revelation. But the result was as delicious as it would have been with the wheat. Over the summer, when the weather permitted, I made the cake countless times, growing lazier with each effort. First, I decided not to brown the butter. Then I determined that the ground almonds were perfectly fine sans toasting. A note: Because it is so trendy these days, almond flour, which is really just finely ground blanched almonds, is often required in recipes, gluten-free or otherwise. You can make it yourself if you have a good blender. Just grab some bulk almonds and blend them up. | HI | HI RE | 73,877 |
young people the task of collecting water in buckets for sanitation, cooking and washing. For those homes with access to fuel for domestic generators there is endless drone of their engines and the health hazard for children. But for most of Gaza's young people the main frustrations presented by electricity cuts are the lack of light for reading and study at night, and reduced access to computers and the internet. In a territory where education is considered the primary means of escaping poverty, electricity cuts can be at once disabling and dispiriting, negatively impacting on classroom performance and the development of young people.

rise of the Social Democrats in Saxony, which was of course itself a product of the same socio-economic developments. 12 Bismarck's Realpolitik , driven by pragmatism more than anything else, sought to resolve these social tensions of the industrialized society by granting workers rights and insurances, predicting State Socialism to be inevitable 13 and thus aiming at taking attention away from the newly emerging workers' movement. However, nothing could distract from the fact that the country was very much dominated by Prussia and had no outlets for the people's discontent with the country's many schisms and Bismarck recognized this: The lack of outlets for popular dissent and reform was especially damaging given the cleavages that continued to plague Germany after unification: Protestant North versus Catholic South, agriculture versus industry, Prussia versus the other states, Junkers versus middle-class liberals, industrialists versus the (increasingly Socialist) working class. Bismarck manipulated the parties and interests as he did foreign powers. But toward the end of his tenure, even he realized that German politics might someday reduce to a choice between surrender of privilege by the old elites or a coup d'tat against the liberal and Socialist groups he labelled Reichsfeinde (enemies of the Reich). 14 These splits within the country, some deeply seated, were only worsened by Bismarck's policy of Kulturkampf and the Socialist laws: The former, the 'fight' against political Catholicism (and its predominant form in Germany, the Zentrum party), to ensure the sphere of influence of protestant Prussia, once again divided Germany | IN | IN RA | 586,094 |

It proposes one outcome variable (termination) and one explanatory variable (psychological or other type of morbidity). By argumentative exclusion of other variables and by absence of measurement, a closed logical universe is created whereby rebuttal would be a scenario as hypothetical as the argument itself. This "phylosofical" freedom is so very academic in nature that it even enjoys the freedom of not being constrained to existing definitions. Such that abortion stops being in-utero and is sent ex-utero. I have done peer review of papers in epidemiology, but I do not feel tempted or dared by Professors Emeritus in addressing a construct, a simplistic world, explained by one variable, and where a relative measure of conflicting personal interest is turned absolute.

Could you send me more information? Andrew Churchyard Jill, Just wondering if what you were reading may have been in regards to vitamins/suppliments? Cheers Michelle i again how can i ask him thanks Asked by Meg (15) Meg, Maybe you could say something like "Im wondering if we could make a time to talk" "I have something I need to talk about, can I come and see you?" Another option could be to ask a friend to go with you, if you have someone you trust, and you go and talk to him together? Or could you put a note in his office or give him a note to ask to make a time to talk? It takes alot of courage to ask to talk to someone, it can often be the hardest part, but hopefully once you are there he will be able to help you.

assiduous in having its tale of 'the struggle' committed to history, but the Hunger Strike has been given a wide berth. Some years ago, as the 20th anniversary of the Hunger Strike approached, I was told by a senior republican that the reason for staying away from the Hunger Strike was 'because of the range of views, feelings and passions it could arouse within the movement -- not all of them positive.' He was right about that, but whatever those views feelings and passions, it is time for truth to shine. THE OTHER PLAYERS IN compiling this special edition extensive efforts were made to contact most of the main players from the hunger strike era. Attempts were made to get the views and recollections of British government and Northern Ireland Office officials from that period. However due to ill-health, the then prime minister Margaret Thatcher and Secretary of State Jim Prior, who took over the role towards the end of the Hunger Strike, were not available. Humphrey Atkins, who was secretary of state from 1979 to September 1981, and Prisons Minster Michael Allison, have both since died. Others including Lord Gowrie who followed Mr Allison, were not available for interview, while former senior prison officials in the Maze have since died or were unavailable for comment. Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams was asked for his views on the hunger strike but was not available. Danny Morrison, Sinn Fein publicity director during the hunger strikes, declined to take part as did | NARRATIVE | NA NE | 1,427,000 |
I have posted before about my son school refusing. This is getting worse as the school is not keeping to the assessment thing saying the steps they would take to make things better for him, such as meeting him in the morning at the front foyer and keeping things the same for him. So far they have changed his seating in class and then moved him to a different reading set, all of which have made my job getting him into school a lot more difficult! To top it off the specialist that saw him back in July finally sent out the results of the Conners test confirming what I already thought, that he doesn't have ADHD. She also said that seeing as steps had been put in place at school that we should give them a chance to work and she wont do anything till March at the next assessment meeting. So far I have had to phone the Integration Team into school to help me, as I was having to sit with him in the foyer for sometimes 3 hours as the school has no-one to sit with him.!! On top of that they have pulled a classroom assistant off for two mornings a week as a Monday and Wednesday seem to be worse than others.

The other day we were sitting down telling people the name of strains we tried in Amsterdam, it got us thinking. Many marijuana strains have awesome names and some awkward. There are obviously people who name strains and you can tell where some strains are named from by their ancestral genetics. What we started to think about was, 'What was the first ever strain?' I did the tour of the hash and marijuana museum and have learnt before that marijuana use has been around for thousands of years maybe dating back to ancient China or ancient Suma. We could stop there and say that sumarian skunk was the first strain but I sorta was hoping for more? I know many marijuana may have been firstly named after the region they come from. Like Thai, Jamaican, Morrocan or other such regional names. These such examples I am looking for and they will be greatly appreciated as information. But really mostly what I was looking for or what I was really pondering was, what was the first ever non regionally named strain? Was it Skunk, Northern Lights, Purples, or something I don't even know like Dankweed? Even if you want to tell me the first strain to hit a select region or the first strain ever in an Amsterdam coffee shop, I will appreciate that. Gobi Green would be a historical start however, I do not know how that would sound in ancient Gobi. When I started pot was referred to by | ID | ID DF | 218,944 |

There was no Plan B in the cards for Nick Theodosis. Given his background he was destined to run a restaurant. "I always had a passion for cooking and restaurants," he said. "It was a product of my environment." He is part of a family dynasty. His dad and two uncles are still involved in the business and his cousin operates the Buffalo Grove location. But running a restaurant is a challenge for anyone, let alone someone when they're only 22. "I'm passionate about what I am doing so it wasn't a problem," Theodosis said. These last dozen years have changed the proprietor as he oversees an operation with 25 employees and approximately 500 people come daily customers. "I've developed a lot more patience with people through the years," he admits. But Theodosis maintains a positive approach. "We have a family environment here," he said. "If you are good to people, they are good to you. That is our style of management" Theodosis may put in 12-hour days six days a week, but he doesn't mind. "If you love what you do, there is no grind," he said. "The fun part is you are dealing with so many people. You are basically running every department of a big business. You are the HR department, you are hiring and firing and you are training people. That is the hardest part, but also the most fun part.

the main area of interest, or it should be anyway. I think that was indicated by our policy work yesterday, we were talking about v6, we weren't talking about v4 very much. One of the things I asked from the meeting was could we begin to think about some high-level review of this. Adam has signalled there's some work to do from the administrative side of looking at all the policies, tidying them up and making them coherent, because they are a bit piecemeal and scattered. He will do that. There is work for the members of the Policy SIG Community to look at these other things and think firmly and hard about what we want to do, where we want to go. We are planning for way down the track in the future, we are going into uncharted territory and it would be good for us to do that. I asked the meeting if we should look at that stuff. I talked with my Co-chairs and we will put together exactly what we mean by that and come back to the Policy SIG Mailing List. You can subscribe, if you are not already subscribed, and I hope to see us promote discussion on the list, which gets us to the point where we think about some ideas that we could form policies with and perhaps bring them to Delhi and so on.

CHRISTIAN: For me, it wasn't even a plan A, it was just something that I was in. CONFRONT: So it wasn't really a conscious decision? CHRISTIAN: Yeah! Me and Pontus, we've known each other since we were 15 so it was more like two people hanging out and just making music. It was just part of our lives.

Top Opinion If I'm to be completely honest... I doubt I would even date someone who had been divorced 5 times nevermind marrying them. Once is fairly normal, twice... could be a coincidence, 3 times, a really shit deal... maybe. Five times tells me that there are probably some serious underlying issues that I do not have the time, patience or energy to deal with. No thank you. So here is goes...as a woman who has been married five times, it is easy to judge someone when you haven't lived their life. In my case my first marriage was at 15. I got pregnant and felt it was best to marry the father of my child, but at 15 you don't understand until death do us part. My second marriage was at 19. I was happy for the first seven years. My husband drank early on, but by the time we got a divorce after 10 years of marriage he was an alcoholic and would not seek help. We had a child and he has never been involved in her life. My third marriage was short (1 year) and I take full responsiblity for it's demise. I went out on my third husband and I still live with the guilt! I cheated on my third husband with the person that would become my fourth husband. My fourth husband came from old money and his mother ruled over him. this was a problem for our marriage, not to mention the guilt | ID | ID QA | 466,510 |

Add Chris Kenney,on Saturday, and throw in Piers Ackerman, Greg Sheridan, and others, and then try and tell intelligent people that they present a balanced view.

We will be sending an e-mail shortly with regard to the migration of services which use IAX (or green Freshtel ATA devices) to the new SIP protocol which is used for the majority of our services. Looks like they're abandoning support for IAX as well now. Every change they are making is to the detriment of the service. Time to bail out, I would say. This business is going to go from bad to worse until, one day, it will stop working like what is happening to Sipme. The major revenue during this period was the receipt of $334,339 from the ATO for R&D activities. Now that the VoIP service is run by 1 person, there is little doubt that Freshtel is doing it really tough these days (ie unlikely to carry out more extensive R&D). They had an excellent product (the IAX protocol was excellent for getting around firewalls in hotels particularly when overseas), so lets hope they survive. If they close their IAX servers (as their email to you is perhaps suggesting) this advantage will be lost. If they close their IAX servers (as their email to you is perhaps suggesting) this advantage will be lost. That (support for IAX) and the fact calls to 13(00) numbers are just 10c are the only things they had going for them. Now that IAX is going, their only advantage is the cheap rate for 13 numbers, for as long as it lasts. Once that goes, they may as well shut | ID | ID DF | 796,451 |

the hell is going on in Afghanistan. Our forces are there in occupation to opportune, preserve & protect US sovereign interests, be they public or private concerns, in order to maximise profits & future developments for those concerns. Put simply, we all know the US has been broke for quite a while now, & that China is the major debtor. There will come a time, for the US, when the best case scenario for alleviation of that debt is conflict, be it international posturing a la the Cuban missile crisis, or actual military engagement of some sort. The past , present & future positioning of the US war machine & it's inherent civilian accompaniments is aimed at rendering China vulnerable to whatever leverage can be gained prior to the line where the gloves come off. China will not seek to engage in a military fashion. Nor should it, why damage something you already own , especially when it is worth so much money. This renders China vulnerable to exploitation by way of denial of access to resources hence the heavy investment of time & money ( not to mention lives)by the US in the Middle East, where resources & their control are the primary bargaining chip.

will give some background to the original message sent from Arecibo, back in 1974. Arecibo is on the northern coast of Puerto Rico and contains a natural disc-shaped hole in the rock. Inside this bowl was constructed the world's largest radio-telescope, with a diameter of 1000 feet. In 1974 a number of modifications had been carried out to the transmitter, enabling it to broadcast signals at a power of up to 20 terawatts (1 terawatt = 1 trillion watts) and as an inaugural test of these improvements it was decided by SETI to transmit an encoded message to the heavens. This signal was aimed towards the globular star cluster M13, some 25,000 light years away and consisting of some 300,000 stars in the constellation of Hercules. The message was actually transmitted on November 16th 1974 and consisted of 1679 pulses of binary code (0's and 1's) - which took a little under three minutes to transmit. It was transmitted on a frequency of 2380MHz (which is significant later). Why 1679 digits? The reason for this is down to mathematics. 1679 is the unique product of two prime numbers; 23 and 73. Any sufficiently intelligent lifeform would no doubt look for unique, universal constructs - such as prime numbers, chemical element frequencies and binary digits. Don't forget that because we could be trying to communicate with an intelligence completely different to our own, we cannot talk in terms of 'human' systems, such as centimetres, feet, decimal numbers etc. Because ONLY the | IP | IP PA | 3,180,864 |
you immensely. You are an inspiration to other blind people and plenty of folks who can see just fine." (Jon Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air ) Erik Weihenmayer was born with retinoscheses, a degenerative eye disorder that would leave him blind by the age of thirteen. But Erik was determined to rise above this devastating disability and lead a fulfilling and exciting life. In this poignant and inspiring memoir, he shares his struggle to push past the limits imposed on him by his visual impairment-and by a seeing world. He speaks movingly of the role his family played in his battle to break through the barriers of blindness: the mother who prayed for the miracle that would restore her son's sight and the father who encouraged him to strive for that distant mountaintop. And he tells the story of his dream to climb the world's Seven Summits, and how he is turning that dream into astonishing reality (something fewer than a hundred mountaineers have done). From the snow-capped summit of McKinley to the towering peaks of Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro to the ultimate challenge, Mount Everest, this is a story about daring to dream in the face of impossible odds. It is about finding the courage to reach for that ultimate summit, and transforming your life into something truly miraculous. "I admire you immensely.

heated conversation is bad enough, a reactive, emotional email turns into physical evidence of rash behavior. The ultimate manifestation of stereotypical female emotion -- crying -- is the one behavior that nearly every woman is both guilty of and advises against. "There's no crying in baseball ... or in the boardroom," said Mandell, "While it is natural, it can make us look weak." But don't get yourself down over needing a good cry. If emotions overwhelm in the workplace, go for an extended bathroom break and get out what ails you. If you're finding yourself doing this every day, it may be an indicator to examine your current work situation. 3.

This week Darcy Burner, a candidate I supported got beat by a rich candidate . Recently, some groups I supported, SF Ocean Edge , The Sierra Club and The Audubon Society lost an appeal to stop seven acres of natural grass from being ripped out of the west end of Golden Gate Park and replaced with artificial turf and 150,000 watts of stadium lights for soccer fields. The project is funded by a rich family, the Fishers, whose father founded the Gap . It's rough when the rich beat us, not just because we lost, but because it can be used as an encouragement for the idea that being rich should be your first and main goal -- since it seems to prove that everything you want flows from that . "Want to win an election?" be rich. Then buy what you need to win. "What to break the law?" be rich, then pay the lawyers to make it a civil case so you just pay the fine. "Want to not break the law? Buy the lobbyist, who pays the lawmakers to fix the law so you don't break them -- it's cheaper than the fine and then you are a "law abiding citizen." Money can't buy you love? Yeah, but plenty of rich people find people to love them. It isn't always a "if you are rich you can't get love" equation. Poor people can't find people to love them either. And being poor can get in the way | OP | OP OB | 3,193,027 |

How to Make Small Talk and Keep the Conversation Flowing Comments Off While many people are quite comfortable talking to others, even strangers, some people struggle with so much as small talk. Most all social situations begin with small talk, which will engage a conversation and help it flow in another direction. However, if you are one of those persons who have no idea where to begin with small talk, the following tips may help. Talk About Your Surroundings Keep in mind that whatever you are doing, the other person is in the same location as you. Thus, this may offer you something to talk about. Look around at your surroundings. Even if your are simply waiting in line at a fast food restaurant, you can comment on how long the line is or how good their fries are. Strive for a pleasant and casual attitude. When you begin a conversation like this, others will more than likely say something back. Chances are, the other person will offer a casual comment as well, and a conversation has begun. It gets much easier after this. If the other person simply smiles, but does not offer a comment, do not get frustrated. Smile back and move on to another individual. Ask About Personal Interests Ask yourself what you would like to know about the other person. While you should, in no way, ask too much on an initial conversation, pick one general topic to ask them about. Ask them where they work | HI | HI HT | 704,165 |

How was it to have this fantastic prop on set? KT -- It's great when you are making a movie with real props, it feels more like you're in a movie, you're not in a studio, you're actually in it. I mean we were getting eaten alive by real black flies and mosquitoes. We had a real giant zombie killing machine named Painkiller behind us in the shot, the real effects allow you to feel connected to the process that way.

David L : Pandanus67 : 26 Nov 2008 11:05:29pm David L, The comparison of yield and pulp quality between plantation and native forests has been done many times. It will depend on the forest type (species), age structure, number of stems per hectare, site quality, carrying capacity, and a host of other environmental factors. In NSW on a per hectare basis the yield from a plantation will exceed those of native forests generally. Why? The factors mentioned above plus the fact that plantations are general stocked with seedlings that are the result of tree breeding, they have high intensity site preparation and a high stocking. Native forests on the other hand regenerate from the genetic stock at hand, without intensive site preparation and without intensive management such as the application of herbicide to control competition. The pulp quality is again another win for plantations. The pecking order is probably pulp from plantation, then regrowth forest, then mature forest and lastly old growth forest.

Yeah, they do mind. But I mind being able to record music as well, so it's kind of balanced. I read a really interesting quote from you in an interview where you were talking about the idea of IDM. I think the quote was that a lot of "intelligent" dance music was actually "clever" dance music. I was wondering if you could expand on that a bit. I'm glad you brought that up, because most people just say to me "so, you write IDM... how's your IDM album?" and it's like "what, my IDM album that starts with a guitar track and has got Martina Topley-Bird and solo piano tracks and not a single techno beat on the whole album? Do you mean that IDM album?" I don't really know what IDM is and it's an incredibly snooty, elitist... it just seems like this elitist fraternity of male dysfunctional opinion that just sort of floats around suddenly becomes part of musical history.

and the textbook/readings (note: here you are pointing out that you already did the footwork to try and understand) but I still can't figure out what my problem is. Can you help me with the material?" Then as the professor goes over it with you, you can suggest that maybe the points taken off were excessive. Regardless of how things go, be very sure to thank the professor for his or her time. The very worst thing that will happen is that your professor now thinks you are better mannered than the average student and want to learn his or her material more than the average student. That is a big achievement even if you get no better grade. Some professors will ask you to write out your reasons for challenging the grade. Professors are doing this so that they do not spend hours on end with students debating grades. The issue is in front of them and they judge it on its merits. This procedure can discourage students from challenging their grade without good reason, but it also gives students who have valid challenges the opportunity to present their cases clearly. Understand that each discipline has its own way of doing things. Writing an English paper is very different than writing a paper for Economics or Political Science. Don't approach your professor and tell her or him that they do it another way in some other discipline; it is your responsibility to adapt to the requirements of this professor | HI | HI HT | 102,213 |
have: "Separated / Retired Military -- does not meet any of above definitions" "Currently Serving National Guard/Reserve -- does not meet any of above definitions" "Military spouse" What other techniques have you used to baseline the number of military members in your company? Please share your ideas in the comments below. It would seem to be a fairly straight forward question: Are you a veteran ? A civilian who has never served in the military likely defines veteran as someone who has served in the military. However, people who have served in the military see many more shades of gray in the answer. If you are managing a military veteran recruiting initiative, you have many reasons for asking veterans to self-identify. And, depending on your reasons, there are many ways to define "veteran": For purposes of collecting the Work Opportunity Tax Credit , a veteran is generally defined as someone who has been released from active duty. As part of its Notice For Proposed Rulemaking, one change that the OFCCP has proposed to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) regulation is that employers ask the veteran to self-identify at the point of application (not only at the time of a job offer). How you ask for this information can impact your response rate. If you simply state "Are you a veteran?" veterans may not self-identify for a variety of reasons: If the applicant is in the final stages of transitioning from active military service (on 'terminal leave" or | OP | OP OB | 288,702 |

Permanent visa options for skilled workers Employment Nomination Scheme (ENS) (Subclass 121/856): the ENS is available for employers who want to sponsor a highly skilled worker from overseas. If an employer sponsors a worker under the ENS, the term of employment must be for at least three years, and the position must be on a full time basis, whilst meeting minimum salary standards. Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) (Subclass 119/857): employers who are from regional or low population growth areas can use the RSMS to sponsor a skilled worker to fill in any vacancies that are required in the region. Under the terms of the RSMS, a business must also employ the worker on a full time basis, and meet minimum salary standards. However, a worker who is a holder of an RSMS visa is employed for two years, as opposed to an ENS visa holder who must be employed for at least three years. Both ENS and RSMS visa holders enjoy full permanent residency privileges: such as access to social security; the ability to bring family members with them into Australia; as well as the option to eventually become an Australian citizen if they so choose.

Stock charts can take some time to get used to and are among the more unwieldy charts in the Excel chart palette. They get even more challenging if you want to extend the out of the box chart. Recently, a user asked how to combine a stock chart with a line or XY scatter chart. Trying this out I created a stock chart, then copied the data for an additional series and pasted it into the chart with Paste Special > New Series. I then tried to change the chart type of the selected series to an XY chart, but found that a stock chart cannot be combined with another chart. Excel presents an error information message, saying that "Some chart types cannot be combined with other chart types. Select a different chart type". Playing around a bit more, though I found that it is actually possible to just select the newly created data series and format it. After adding the new "data" series to the chart, select the chart. Then click the "Layout" tab in the Chart Tools ribbon. On the left hand side of that ribbon, select the newly inserted series in the drop-down of chart elements: Then click "Format selection" just below the drop-down: In the format dialog, the series can be given a line color and markers, just like an XY or line chart would take, so there's really no reason to assign a different chart type to the series.

Pat's Point of View Misguided Selflessness Posted: October 2012 Being a leader is a lonely job. There is no doubt about that. Anyone running an organization -- a corporation, a department within that corporation, a school, a church, a battalion or a local business -- must accept the fact that the role they have is often a difficult, sacrificial and solitary one.But that doesn't mean it should be thankless or unfulfilling. Or for that matter, always lonely. When humble, well-intentioned leaders convince themselves that they are supposed to be completely without needs, they create big problems for themselves and their organizations. "In-Between" Time Posted: July 2012 I recently returned from a vacation with my family, one that involved a number of big, fun activities. Interestingly, when I look back at the trip it strikes me that the best part of it, especially in terms of the lasting benefits to our family, happened during the times "in-between" those activities. For instance, we loved the evenings when we were just hanging out together in the condo where we stayed. And the simple, informal meals we made when we weren't going out for dinner were the best ones of all.

I have just purchased an EtherMega. I had been able to download to the device from Vista for a while but when that became impossible (error: Serial port 'com 12' already in use ) I tried on a netbook running Windows 7. This was good for a while, but after coming back to work on it a couple hours later same problem as the other machine. No joy with the XP computor either. Checked using the PC's hardware manager and nothing else appears to be using the port concerned: it is shown allocated to the Freetronics eleven. I used the driver specified by Freetronics. An occasional flash issues from the RX LED by the USB socket during attempts to load the new program. The board is happily flashing away with the last loaded program. Thanks Jon, I suspect the problem may have been that I was using the Serial pins to drive an LCD and this was interfering with the downloading of the program. I have gone to Serial1 and so far no issue. Have yet to try it out on the other computer, but optimistic. It is possible I could load the program without the serial connection to those pins and reconnect, or perhaps the use of (the main) serial also opens another use of the same com port used to load the program. For now though will stay with Serial1 to be sure! shoots wrote: Thanks Jon, I suspect the problem may have been that I was using | ID | ID DF | 3,292,751 |
