			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I made a shed load of edits to my address book yesterday, only to discover this morning the changes were not saved, so I did a date modified including system files (Grr another bloody gripe) to see where the address book put all my address book changes, and started to investigate what files it changed. I did note while i was editing my addresses, address book seemed to want to connect to some kind of syncservices of which i promptly told it to fuck off as im not syncing my data with a handset or mobileme any longer. If saving my address book changes to my local machines address book is dependant on net access, then there is something severely wrong with the way address book is programmed.</p>
<p>so this morning i was digging around in the following files to discover some weird stuff : the following file :</p>
<p>data.syncdb</p>
<p>found in the location :</p>
<p>/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/then inside a folder with a long filename of gobbledygook letters</p>
<p>which was modified just before i went to bed appears to contain allot of encrypted junk plus list of every application ever installed on my machine ?</p>
<p>what my machine is doing compiling a list of every application installed on my machine even ones ive removed, i dont know ? especially when it failed to write my address book !! and why it is in a folder related to syncing I dont know either ? All I wish is the peice of shit address book had saved the addrees book changes I damn well made considering I now destroyed the bits of paper the addresses were manually written on.</p>
<p>Typical of Apple my operating system is busy amending a list of applications without my knowledge, rather than saving my fing address book !!!!</p>
<p>Its a major problem with apples attitude which is to treat the user like a shmuck whilst stroking there brow with wizzy bullshit visual distraction, when you get under the hood a little you discover Apple are a vain self obsessed company who have contempt for the user. And dont bother to inform any of their users, the way the operating system attemptively works ?</p>
<p>Why if my address book couldnt save my changes …… did it not fing tell me it couldn&#8217;t ? was it so fing ashamed it had to slink off like a turd and pretend nothing was wrong and say nothing ? it should not be possible for my changes not to be saved !!</p>
<p>This is what comes of programs saving their own data automatically, and the coders not putting in a routine to protect the users data first above and beyond the embarassment to apple of implementing a code routine that highlights the programs failing at writing the data. Which of course from a Steve Jobs marketing scenario would be perceived to be a &#8220;lose lose&#8221; scenario informing the user of any program failings, theres probably a dickhead edict from the top saying its best not to write the routine to detect any operating errors occurring in ones own software, that way Apple get to look slickly cooler even though theyre not implementing a full set of program error detection routines and informing the user of such errors.</p>
<p>My suspicion is that the drive was running out of space even though is has 720mb available, due to the fact i was streaming video on a web page whilst editing the changes, It may have run out of space due to mac os x&#8217;s complete inability to reserve a small amount of unwritten space to write files with, considering the video buffer is a temporary web cache it should have less priority.</p>
<p>My prediction … is address books save data routine has no catch in it to pause quiting and alert the user when there is no space available to save the file, or it has failed to do so, its either that or there was space and address book failed to write the changes because of some corrupt preference, though I doubt it as this morning it has successfully written changes. Without any preference deletion.</p>
<p>In this day and age it should not be possible for a peice of software to fail at saving data and not inform the user, after all how difficult is it for a program to check the save it just made, was successful, before quiting ? and for essential data from an adress book, you would have thought such protections would have been afforded as industry wide standard for the users data. After all I now feel I can&#8217;t rely on address book&#8217;s save routine to keep me covered whatever the circumstance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>check out the indian family who host Rick in delhi, and their crazy english accents in episode 6 of rick steins far eastern odyssey.</p>
<p>How foriegn people can deliberately and artificially adopt and assume accents … they do ? or dont ? fully understand the negative class meaning of, is beyond me. Be carefull not to step outside an upperclass club and into the real world or peoples reaction to such accents maybe incalculable.</p>
<p>PLUMMY darling in the extremis, ie this accent doesnt signify clarity alone, no its been modified to indicate i&#8217;m of a certain class.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brandi Carlisle : thumbs up :) vocal clarity sings well, moving away from the more commercial / genre stuff yields gems, certainly a quality voice.</p>
<p>Hard Fi : part the modern enumeracy of intangiblly similar modern bands, not stand out, probably a few club / pub/ background music anthems in their repetoire, but didnt grab me at my age.</p>
<p>Electrelane : produced allot of music ? band very competent, the female vocalist knows how to move her voice about, but her tone seems constantly off in a disconcerting way, perhaps with enough flogging at it, she&#8217;ll come come good like nick cave eventually did and produce something like the boatmans call to make up for a profuse collection of weak albums that sound vocally the same. perhaps mpre than one band member should be singing</p>
<p>The Last Shadow Puppets : Fastpaced regional vocals rock duo, 60&#8217;s tone, small scowl thrown in, may appeal to young-uns, topics : women … unsurprising for two handsome young men singers, vocally their quality, music is well produced with 60/70&#8217;s filmic score touches, seemingly stolen from westerns or james bond.  Unappealing to the mentally jaded or lifeworn.</p>
<p>Santogold : backgound music to a pub / club, stand out numbers you will have heard even wihtout knowing it &#8220;L.E.S. Artistes&#8221; certainly sticks in the memory for the step vocals, and electro guitar muted setup, reminiscent of other music (the  police, 70&#8217;s cars, numanesque,  though references seem to abound, cleverly original none the less)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The European Union is demonstrative in its pursuit of destroying national identity &#038; democracy, if any proof were needed political decisions are no longer made through UK politics, now we are told by the EU what are responsibilities and liabilities are, as regards immigrants.</p>
<p><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8535625.stm">somali woman wins european ruling</a></p>
<p>A Somalian woman marries recently Danish Naturalised immigrant in ethiopia, they then use his EU status citizenship to move to the UK, where he works for 5 months and then starts claiming incapacity benefit, when his incapacity benefit is stopped, he then moves to denmark leaving his wife and children in the UK who then claim benefits, harrow council attempt to prevent the woman from claiming a house for her three children and living off benefits and using the school system here.</p>
<p>She then takes her case to the european court of human rights and gets a ruling whereby harrow council have to provide the full works for her and her children, House, Benefits, healthcare because her kids are in school in the UK . And she now says she is looking forward to being housed in a bigger house by harrow council, who will no doubt have to spend thousands and thousands to rent her a property from the multiple house owning landlords operating in the private sector. And this will set a budget draining precedent for councils accross the country. This must end end, as it is an insult for those who save in vain to afford a family and home from the standpoint of an english moral perspective that prevents them from using the benefits system, why should anyone of a moral bent bother , when all this can be stolen from the poor taxpayer.</p>
<p>Is this somalian woman morally justified in her use of this system ? though morals I doubt seem such a great issue when you come from the kind of poverty to be found in somalia, but to be honest poverty should not be used as an excuse for immorality, as giving succour to somalian pirates has proven.</p>
<p>This case proves that an out of EU immigrant, only needs to temporarily marry, a recently naturalised EU immigrant, to provide them with full rights to the benefits available to a UK citizen.</p>
<p>Yet how can the EU rule in this manner, when a UK citizen living in france cant claim full rights to say French Healthcare ?</p>
<p>This is an abuse of the benefits system without doubt ! which is now reinforced by a european ruling, our government and democracy will mean nothing, till it can stand up against rulings like this and choose which parts of european law to abide by.</p>
<p>We need to make a distinction about european citizens who have been recently naturalised. Or if not that, consider the speed and rapidity in which one citizenship is traded for another or systems abused to maximum selfish benefit by the recently naturalised.</p>
<p>May this country sink under the selfish weight of the vain media whoring fame seekers and high earning guardian reading slef obsessives, and the private sector government outsourcing commercialist internationalist cunts. Politics and the media in this country make me incandescant with rage. We are totally fucked for a culture if this is allowed to continue unchecked.</p>
<p>The european union is beneficial for rich business internationalists, and 2nd home owning self serving bastards, who believe in, and belong to no culture. And the BBC that have done nothing but endlessly foster and encourage foreigners and multiculturalism propaganda in the UK, and ram it down the poorers classes throat since the 60&#8217;s, when it is they and not the media set, who pay the price of this immigration in competition for all housing and services.</p>
<p>I admire Evan Davis&#8217;s attempt to raise this issue, as very few people in the media have even the balls to touch it, pity the whole program seemed to revolve about whether a certain class of english person is a worse or better surf, to the power mongering business owning classes than an east european. Culture is not purely measured in economic output, and if that is how, it is now purely measured then we are truly living in sad feudal times, in which, all are replaceable unless they comply submit and adhere to some purely economic formula. I would rather these jobs were automated completely, than we used them as an excuse to bring more and more foreign people to compete against and dilute an already fractured and underrepresented and disenfranchised part of our cultural population.</p>
<p>What is so often evil about this, is that the moderately intelligent, use programs like this, as an easy vehicle, to beat up on the lower classes, who&#8217;s ignorance is often a product of class division and lack of opportunity&#8217;s or education, similar in quality to those who berate them in the media.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00r3qyw/The_Day_the_Immigrants_Left/">The day the immigrants left</a>, attempted to address this issue, but converted it into a reality show piss take of english workers inability to pick asparagus fast enough, or pack potato bags into palletes like a robot, or recognise the difference between twenty different types of curry, alongside workers who are not english, as though theres a presumption they should be happy for the same opportunities, and also be happy to work in a social culture in which they are surrounded by foreign people. when in fact society and culture and the media has tried to sell people disdain for these menial jobs over the last twenty years, when in fact it is mainly only these kind of dull pointless and listless jobs that seem to exist in culture generally.</p>
<p>One guy in the program was a landlord who owned over 100 propertys, and employed exclusively east europeans to maintain and increase his property empire, at no point was any mention made of the inequitys inherent in a culture, that has allowed this single man to attain so many houses and rent them out. The government has wished to increase the financial divide over the last twenty years and has succeeded agressively in doing it. when you have no stake in a society and see so slim an opportunity of acheiving it, it disheartens them to the extent they lose faith in their own culture and their place in it.</p>
