    Well. According to "Computational Diagnostics and Biocybernetics Unit, Saarland University; Saarland University of Applied Sciences, Homburg/Saarbruecken, Germany. yinfen@cdb-unit.de."
    Their conclusion was...

    It is concluded that the wavelet phase synchronization stability of ALRs single sweeps can be used as objective tinnitus decompensation measure and can be interpreted in the framework of the Jastreboff tinnitus model and adaptive resonance theory. Our studies confirm that the synchronization stability in ALR sequences is linked to attention. This measure is not only able to serve as objective quantification of the tinnitus decompensation, but also can be applied in all online and real time neurofeedback therapeutic approach where a direct stimulus locked attention monitoring is compulsory as if it based on a single sweeps processing.

    Now my whole head hurts. Tinnitus? What Tinnitus?
    I've found a cure...

    by imagining a radio with a large volume control button that I slowly turn down

    I do something similar, is this a form of virtual Bio-feedback as opposed to the usual electromagnetic/mechanical approach?.
    I will go a'Googleing.

    Bob McCoskrie's Family First site is in the 'suggested' options for 'Best Family Site'?

    I shudder to think what may be suggested for "Best Farming Site" Steve Crow's www.farmfun.co.nz ?.
    To be fair, it does have the word "Family" in it so it must be a force for good... eh?.

  • OnPoint: Gotcha?,

    I, for one, am not surprised.
    Mr. Slaters attitude has always been that of a Sociopath. He hasa hatred of people in general and a sense of entitlement to social constructs that work in his favour, in this case, his Insurance Company.
    If Wailboy were receiving a Sickness Benefit he would have his peers rial against him and denounce him as a Bludger but because it is an insurance company it's ok. It's OK because an insurance company will cut you off when you are no longer profitable if it can and in this case it could. Dontcha just love the smell of the free market now Mr Oil?.
    Oh, and get well soon.

    Or, indeed, Manure Wa, which means "Crying about Shit" but anyway...

    Len Brown was then quoted saying he wanted to make sure no builder responsible for the mess profited from the repair work.

    Builder??? FFS. When Carters, Feltchers, Hardies and an assortment of developers/finance companies lobbied their mates, Jim Bolger's Fourth National Government, to allow substandard techniques and materials in order to increase their profits is where the blame lies. A Builder is a Builder FFS , an Architect and or Developer tells the Builder what to build and how, what materials to use etc. The Council inspects the new building to assure compliance to standards, both local and national. Those national standards are set by Government and materials standards set by BRANZ (previously known as ?). All this turned to custard under the Fourth National Govt. Why aren't these people held liable? did they lie to BRANZ about the suitability of their products? Did they make those profits?. I'm sure that under the proceeds of crimes act we may have a way of recouping some of the cost but... maybe when Hell freezes over, that law was passed to "Protect" us from all those dangerous drugs. innit?
    So, would Mr Len Brown like to make sure those companies do not profit once more from that crisis?.

    A host of other big brands have their phones and things made by the Chinese company Foxconn, where there has been a spate of suicides -- but it's only Apple you're hearing about.

    Here we go again, the iPhone as a killer device.

    our "developed economy" is stuck with the mindset of roads, cars, roads, cars, roads, etc, ad nauseum?

    Let's not forget Trucks, even Bigger Trucks and Bigger Problems they cause Councils

    I feel that I must come to Russell's defence now, having poked him about the fanboi aspect. I think that anything that eats into McVicar's media time a good thing. As a media commentator, Russ almost has an obligation to cover such things, even if the iPad is the Lady Gaga of the media device world.
