continued: "This was very black and white: Two of your officers who, despite the fact that I know you have given them guidelines because I have a copy of it, who totally disregarded them and were either so completely ignorant of the law, or decided to ignore the law -- they were just going to say they knew the law better than the person they were talking to -- they were very seriously intimidating. I find it quite worrying that I don't think you are taking this quite as seriously as I think you should be." A blogger, who contacted BJP today, was detained last weekend by two Rail Enforcement Officers after taking photos, despite the fact that REO don't have the power to do so "Last night I had the "pleasure" of being detained against my will not by the police but by Rail Enforcement Officers who operate on the South Eastern rail services. What did I do wrong? I took a picture of these Rail Enforcement Officers and when they asked me to see and then remove the pictures from my phone I refused."

That's what unicorns actually look like. 'Her statement, that "there is no constituency of pressure for a united Ireland" might be true for the time it was made (2008, I believe) ' Indeed. Thats probably still the case and in a certain sense will always be the case . But as you correctly state 'If there is a Nationalist majority, there will be a constituency of pressure" But it will not take the form of "the gun in one hand and a ballot paper in the other ' -It promises to be a much more mundane event should it come to pass . For the vast majority of Irish nationalists it will be just the end of a phase of political history which has been since the late 1880?s driven by sectarian fears (not always unjustifiable ) and the desire on the part of an elitist minority to hold on to economic and political power . And that was and is nothing new in the history of nations -just look at the Sunnis in Iraq (Hussein's tribe) and the Aloites in Syria (Assad's tribe ) and even the now dead Gadaffi held power predominantly because of the predominance of the Gadaffi tribe .

Unless it was called to institutionalize failure, but I'm not quite that cynical] Have they perhaps sometimes been influenced by the secular ideology? Has it not cost us sometimes showing what and who we are inside and outside of the "public forum of history" (Benedict XVI). The Holy Father called us to "deworldification". We have to respond by examining our consciences and with the conversion of our hearts. Without this profoundly spiritual premise, the undertaking to evangelize would be pointless . So, finally at the end, we get to the good stuff. I was actually much more hostile to his comments the 2nd time I read through them (see all the red above) than I was the first time. It should be pointed out that Cardinal Varela is a big fan of Kiko Arguella of the disastrous neochatachumenal way, and even allowed Kiko to help redecorate the Cathedral. It's a bit ironic that a Spanish Cardinal -- of all places, if you know the history of the Church -- would use a modernist German theological term in order to advance his point about how the Church needs to be more worldly. So while the Cardinal seemed to get it at the end, I am left perplexed, wondering if his entire philosophy is not such that "deworldification" might mean something radically different to him than it would to, say, you or I or St. Teresa.

mortality rates than more active individuals -- even when they participate in the recommended minimal levels of moderate physical activity." Before the advent of industrialization, when we were farmers and fishers, when our living depended on our ability to work hard physically, we experienced very little heart disease or cancer. Our bodies, the incredible healing machines that they are, had plenty of oxygen to support our immune systems and we were likely better able to detoxify of the minimal amount of pollutants we absorbed. As life became easier, with cars and trucks and labour-saving devices, not only were we able to reduce the amount of physical labour required of us, we were able to pursue recreational activities that were counter-productive to a healthy lifestyle. A perfect example: TV dinners. Do you remember those foil dishes that came in sections? Meat, vegetables, potatoes and even a warm dessert! Perfectly prepared to save time in the kitchen, and conveniently packaged to sit on a tray table in front of the television. What a luxury -- or maybe not. Unfortunately, the more food is processed, the less nutritious and more toxic it becomes. And with the advent of genetically modified foods, the more unrecognizable these foods (or should I say, edible food-like substances) are to our bodies.

note, however, that the same could be said for black people or women, other groups deliberately excluded from constitutional citizenship by the framers US citizens are supposed to worship so avidly. Taking the more evolutive interpretive approach advocated by legal-liberals such as Ronald Dworkin, the court's reasoning in Tilikum appears glaringly question-begging: much of the textual evidence adduced to support the claim that the Bill of Rights serves humans alone, such as President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, refers not to humans but to persons . The reference of the term 'persons' being more a matter of morality than biology, the judge appears to have assumed the very thing he was purporting to prove. It may well be that you can't construct a political-moral theory of animal rights that plausibly fits with US constitutional law and practice as a whole -- what Dworkin would suggest we must do if we want to fight for constitutional animal rights -- but this wasn't even attempted. Whilst I intend to return to these constitutional issues at a later date, my intention is not to explore them here. Instead, I want to discuss Sue Donaldson and Will Kymlicka's book, published last year, Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights .

Tuesday, 21 August 2012 The Value of Words A rather taboo subject that always crops up on the regular #bbloggers chat on Twitter, is the matter of Sponsored Posts and payment for blog content. It's one of those great mysteries that no one wants to divulge any information about, but still want to know all the answers to. You know me though, I'm open and honest and if I can help anyone out with anything I will (to a point that is, don't expect to throw me 50quid to do in your mother in law or anything). This lunch time I had a mini #bbloggers chat of my own to see what other people thought about pricing YOUR words. As usual people weren't openly prepared to reveal how much they take for posts, but it was good to find out how people thought about these things. My initial question was how people felt about this; do they think it's fair that a blogger with more followers got paid more, or do they think the payment should be based on content alone. It was a mixed reaction. I personally understand that I, who has around 550 posts on my blog (not taking into account non GFC members who follow it, my readership from accumulative platforms reaches around 2000 if you add them up) would receive less than a blogger who has 1000+ visible followers on their blog (that's GFC followers that are usually added as a widget in the side bar | OP | OP OB | 3,026,503 |
Axed: 666 Park Avenue, Last Resort, Partners. The axe has fallen on new shows in the US, two of which impact on four Aussie actors. ABC supernatural series 666 Park Avenue which stars Rachael Taylor, Dave Annable, Vanessa Williams and Terry O'Quinn pitched itself as a glossy, spooky soap but wasn't able to connect with viewers. It has been fast-tracked to Australia by Foxtel. Last Resort , also from ABC, has been axed. The series about a renegade crew of a US Navy submarine included Daisy Betts, Daniel Lissing (pictured) and Dichen Lachman. It was recently announced by Seven has one of its international highlights for 2013. Both series will now wrap at 13 episodes. Meanwhile CBS has called it quits on comedy series Partners from David Kohan and Max Mutchnick ( Will and Grace ). The series was the only new comedy CBS introduced this season.

on Multi-Coloured Swap Shop , where they were asked by John Craven when they were going write a "proper book". Fighting Fantasy also became viewed by some religious groups as the work of the devil. One concerned mother called her local radio station to claim she had found her son levitating whilst reading Fighting Fantasy (which did the sales of the game books no end of good, as for 1.50 you could perhaps learn to fly). However, what some people forget is that Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson formed Games Workshop. Unable to afford both an office as well as somewhere to live, Ian and Steve chose to forego somewhere to live. Instead, they lived in a camper-van for three months, joining a squash club so they could use the facilities to clean themselves up in the morning (a consequence of which is that Ian became really good at squash). Ian later joined the software house Domark, which became Eidos, before being acquired by Square Enix. With Eidos, he is possibly most famous for the hugely popular Tomb Raider franchise. In recognition of his contributions to the interactive entertainment industry, Ian Livingstone was honoured with an OBE in 2006. As part of Sheffield's "Off The Shelf" writing festival, Ian Livingstone agreed to give a talk at the Showroom Cinema about his career in interactive entertainment, and about how he and Steve Jackson created the Fighting Fantasy game books.

In North Carolina in 1922 or 1923, Frank C. Brown collected a call-and-response work song called "Sheep Shell Corn by the Rattle of His Horn." that scans like "Blow, Boys, Blow," and bears a tune that shows some slight resemblance: You're right, Lighter. Talley doesn't even have a chorus. It almost looks like the Talley version is a blackface minstrel song. Some of those verses show up elsewhere in that tradition, I think. It seems like the Brown version has "evolved" a bit, but maybe it went the other way. But that is a definitive line about the "sheep shell corn with the rattle of his horn", along with the the "whipoorwill" line. I think you are onto something though with the Brown version.

into your clubs life story. It's a true honour. And yet my flawed pragmatism still pushes me back and away from it as the shadow of UEFA casts down on me from above. Football is not the same beast it was decades ago. But we are still aiming high. Bill Nicholson would possibly adopt to a similar outlook we're embracing now. Top four > Champions League > title push > champions > European Cup final. That's what every club at the very top of the tier would find agreeable as targets, even if very few are currently in that position to achieve it. That's just the way modern football has been set up to work. We don't care for the fiscal but our owners do because it's the only way to sustain such an ambitious challenge. In fact it's the only way to compete for any ilk of silverware, such (has been) the power of the dominant clubs in England in the past decade or so. I'm sure Bill would still not have frowned at the cups on offer. Unlike I have. Glory can't be measured. As stated, it can be a one off game, a piece of silverware or sustained success.

When it comes to building retirement communities, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who possesses more knowledge and experience than Joe (though his son Daniel might give him a run for his money soon). RLC 's much-buzzed about Palisades on the Glen project was recently voted "Best Retirement Community in Mississauga" and the company's communities in Cobourg and Stratford are widely recognized as the finest in their respective communities. We chat with Joe about how the retirement community industry has evolved over the years and how RLC 's communities offer a truly five-star lifestyle. Enjoy! BuzzBuzzHome: You've been in the retirement community industry for a few decades now. How has the landscape evolved since you entered the industry? Joe Ger: The nomenclature has really changed very significantly from the early 1980s when the concept started to evolve here in Canada. The concept of the retirement community migrated up from Florida to the Jersey coast where there is now a major conglomeration of retirement communities. The climate there has four seasons so it's far more applicable to what would happen here. At the time, retirement housing was basically what we now call "heavy care". You moved into a hotel-sized room. In some cases the bathrooms were shared between two rooms or were even in the hallways. You showered in common like in a YMCA.

Relationship Advice How to be less concerned with other people's opinions by Fran Creffield Does worrying about what other people think stop you from being able to relax and enjoy yourself in social situations? Is it stopping you from living the life you want and dating the people you like? If so here are some tips to help you overcome this. When dating being overly concerned with other people's opinions can become quite debilitating and stop us from relaxing and being ourselves. It is important to learn strategies to help you overcome this self defeating behaviour if you want to be able to relax enough to meet someone you really connect with. Self-consciousness Self consciousness is often at the root of concern about other people's opinions. When you are self-conscious you are excessively aware of your behaviours, thoughts and feelings and, as is often seen in teenagers, it can make you feel very ill at ease in social situations. When you are feeling self conscious you are paying too much attention to your thoughts, how you look and how you are feeling. It may seem as though you are overly concerned with what other people think of you but actually they are simply a reflection for you to look closer at yourself -- 'Do they like me? Do they think I'm stupid because I said that? Are they bored of my conversation?' these are the usual types of questions that come up when we are overly concerned with someone else's | HI | HI HT | 98,255 |

However, if the name "South Pole" is known for frozen-water products, the company could argue ownership of the name "South Pole" as a trade name, as well as prior use of a trade-mark. The Office of the Registrar of Trade-marks would not have the name "South Pole" in its trade-mark records, because it does not register trade names. "South Pole Inc.," however, could easily find out about your application for "North Pole," either by doing a search of the Office of the Registrar of Trade-marks records or a search at the time your application is published in the Trade-marks Journal. "South Pole" may then challenge your application during the opposition stage in the registration process. As trade names may be recorded separately in each province under provincial legislation, there is no complete central inventory containing all current names for Canada as a whole. As conducting a search of trade names is quite complex, we suggest that you hire a trade-mark agent to do the work for you. Consider hiring a registered trade-mark agent Preparing and following through on a trade-mark application is a complex process requiring broad knowledge of trade-mark law and Office of the Registrar of Trade-marks practice -- knowledge one can expect a registered trade-mark agent to have.

AS number delegations, steady growth. You can see in 2011, there is a bit of an anomaly there. It looks like it's stronger growth than the previous years, but the jump was actually caused by each of the six NIRs receiving 100 4-byte AS numbers for them to promote and distribute in their respective economies.

I panfried two porkchops breaded porkchops in clarified butter and afterwards added in roughly a quarter of a cup of leftover chicken stock from some lentil soup I made yesteday along with approx. the same amount of whole milk, I used enough flour to thicken it up and added some mushrooms I had left over quarterd, I reduced it down to a gravy consistency and it was wonderful over the porkchops, albeit not very healthy I would imagine. Glad to know I was somewhere along normal lines though. I'm going to try the tabasco next time :). I always make a roux for gravy, then add the turkey drippings and chicken broth and broth from the giblets and neck. Then (this is the great secret for delicious gravy) 1/4 to 1/2 cup dry sherry. Fabulous! I used your Mom's turkey recipe and roasted it breast side down. How great!!! Very tender. I noticed, also that there was less drippings with which to make the gravy. :( No matter. I had simmered the giblets, neck, heart and liver in a pot while the turkey was roasting. When my gravy called for water to be added, I added the "innards" stock and it was amazing.

Backstage at the Archibald Prize: paper planes and steel-plate etchings When Ben Quilty won the Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney yesterday [April 15, 2011], it was less than a decade since he had received his first real career boost -- the receipt of the 2002 Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship . And Margaret Olley, one of the judges of that scholarship in 2002, was the very appropriate subject of Quilty's Archibald winning portrait. Both artist and sitter were at the gallery when the $50,000 prize was announced. Quilty's two young children, Joe and Olivia, made paper planes from copies of the press release, their youth somehow showing how an art prize that is 90 years old is still going strong. I observed all this as the visual arts reporter for the Daily Telegraph . I first met Ben Quilty many years ago when he was just starting to exhibit his work to the the beginnings of what would become acclaim. It must have been just after he won the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship in 2002. Right back then, it was obvious he was a young man going places. And boy, could he paint. I thought he would win the Archibald a few years ago when he entered a wonderful portrait of Beryl Whiteley, who established and endowed the travelling scholarship in her son's name. It was a great painting of Beryl; so full of steely determination and the will to survive, no matter what. | SP | SP IT | 3,310,619 |

all government-run health efforts fail. The VA health system continues to receive the best quality scores of any segment of the U.S. health system, with the most satisfied patients. It beats the best HM Os in quality ratings, has a model information system, and focuses on primary care. It has led in addressing medical errors and in its application of AHRQ quality guidelines to both inpatients and outpatients. In 2004 it won the Baldridge Prize for quality and patient-safety improvements. 2. There is a lot we can learn from the Walter Reed disgrace. Its operation was outsourced to a Halliburton-connected company in 2002, over the objections of some Army medical personnel and leadership, with a subsequent drastic reduction in staff and loss of government employees with institutional experience. There was also some hanky-panky with the contracting process; when the government employees' bid for the operations contract came in lower than the Halliburton company's bid, the bids were "recalculated" to make the private company the lowest bidder. (This section was contributed by Anne Carroll, MS, MPH.) What about incremental reform of the health system?

I think -- I do think you're right. Sadly, the Republican Party, that strand of liberal Republican internationalism seems to have been sort of stamped out, particularly in the Senate. But nonetheless, there is in those parties all across the country this suspicion of international law, of international institutions.

History and practice tells us that not everyone will be able to grow their own food. Actually, only few people can. The same for drinkable water. So you have to pay someone to eat and drink. If you eat and drink without paying, you will get to feel how voluntary the payment is. We could go on with a place to live, and transportation you need to earn your living to pay for the food.

The second recipe that used the cookies as an ingredient was grilled ham-and-cheese sandwiches. Again, the idea is that you're capitalizing on the extra-high butter content of the cookies where you would normally be adding butter: the bread for a grilled cheese. Put cookie, flat side down, in pan; top with cheese and ham; cap off with second cookie; cook until cheese is melted; consume. This one was less of a win for me.

of the World Court. And -- This was actually the point with the Obama administration that I was trying to make, is that Obama now still has the same order from the World Court. There are still several dozen Mexican nationals on death row in different states, waiting to be executed. The Supreme Court has now taken away the president's power to do anything unilaterally, so he has to go to Congress to get legislation to comply with international law. I have to say I'm actually a little surprised that four months in, that he has not done that. That, to me, would have been low-hanging fruit. I think it probably has to do with the fact that my successor, Harold Koh, is not yet on duty. But President Obama will then have to use up significant political capital to go to the Congress to get them to pass a law that will give him the power to review all of these death sentences in different states in order to comply with a ruling of the World Court. And this then gets into this (theme ?): will Congress do that? They may not.

A conjecture of Colliot-Thelene in the case of the exceptional groups We consider a regular local ring R containing an infinite field of characteristic different from 2, the fraction field K of R and a simple algebraic group scheme G over R. The question is whether for a given parabolic subgroup in the group G_K there is a parabolic subgroup scheme of the same type in G over R. We answer the question in the affirmative provided that G has type G2, F4, or E6. If G is of type E7 or E8, then we answer the question in the affirmative for most types of parabolics. This partly solves a conjecture of Colliot-Thlne and extends an earlier result of I. Panin and K. Pimenov for quadratic spaces. | IN | IN CM | 193,333 |
writer to win the Pulitzer Prize with Annie Allen which tells the story of a black woman's passage from childhood to adulthood, against a backdrop of poverty and discrimination. In Saturday Review of Literature, Starr Nelson proclaimed the collection: "a work of art and a poignant social document." and Langston Hughes commented: "the people and poems in Gwendolyn Brooks' book are alive, reaching, and very much of today." After attending the Second Black Writers' Conference at Fisk University in 1967, Brooks' work took a more overtly political stance and shows a deepening concern with social problems. Toni Cade Bambara wrote in the New York Times Book Review that "something happened to Brooks, a something most certainly in evidence in In the Mecca and subsequent works -- a new movement and energy, intensity, richness, power of statement and a new stripped lean, compressed style. A change of style prompted by a change of mind." In the seventies, Brookes left the major publishing house Harper & Row, in favour of new Black publishing companies -- although this should not be taken as a sign that her work was universally acclaimed by its Black readership. Her autobiography Report from Part One (1972) did not provide the insight that some reviewers had expected -- prompting Brooks to reply: "They wanted a list of domestic spats." Other critics praised the book for explaining the poet's new orientation toward her racial heritage and her role as a poet.

Review: Returning to Doc Daneeka's Ten Thousand Yen after a two year absence, Chesus delivers four tracks of throwback house with a contemporary twist. "Goodfoot" sees a diva vocal and hands in the air piano riff go hand in hand with snappy percussion with a rippling flex, while "4am Dub" and "3am Dub" offer subtly different combinations of heavy 909 kicks and deep organ chords. The standout track is perhaps "Feelings" delivering a Kerri Chandler style, dubbed out house cut with voval manipulation from the contemporary bass school of thinking. One to file alongside Bicep for an impressively modern take on the 90s house revival.

From the first instance the swinging drums and vocal snippets kick off, complemented with staccato fills to kick the tune off proper.

My sister Eileen, two years older than me, brought books home from kindergarten and first grade, too.

Formats Book Description Release Date: September 26, 2006 This is not your father's war This is Iraq, where a soldier's first duty is reinforcing his Humvee with sheet metal and sand bags. Or, in the absence of plumbing, burning barrels of human waste. Where any dead dog on the side of the road might be concealing an insurgent's bomb and anyone could be the enemy. At age 17, Jason Christopher Hartley joined the Army National Guard. Thirteen years later, he is called to active duty, to serve in Iraq. Sent to a town called Ad Dujayl, made notorious by Saddam Hussein's 1982 massacre, Hartley is thrust into the center of America's war against terrorism. This is his story. "If you are distrustful of the media and want to know exactly what's going on in Iraq, you'll have to pray for divine enlightenment, because only god knows what the hell is going on over here. However, if you want to know how it feels to be a soldier in Iraq, to hear something honest and raw, that I can help you with."

Filmoria: Sunday night's episode revealed some rather scandalous news about your character, Michael Gregson -- that he is, in fact, married to a woman in a lunatic asylum. How did you react when you first read that in the script? CE: I thought, great! Because that says to me that that storyline needs to be seen through. It needs to be an issue! I love stuff like that, gothic, Bront-esque. Although she is an asylum, not the attic. I think having an attic would be far more gothic so that's a shame [laughs]. Filmoria: The storyline between Gregson and Lady Edith has been left open-ended. Will we be seeing you in the Christmas episode? CE: I've no idea! No idea at all! It could end with, you know, a phone call and she could be saying "Well thank you very much Mr Gregson, I'm really not interested." Then that's it! That's the end of my character.

few short sentences by the teacher. India is described as filled with pollution, cows, and poverty-stricken people. Hindus love to bathe in rivers where they throw the ashes of their parents and yes, they do worship elephants and monkeys. "Do you speak Indian?" I'm asked at least two times a week. "I heard there were two thousand gods and every full moon you had to give a sacrifice to them. Do you do that?" No, I try to explain that all the gods are really aspects of one almighty being. I've never sacrificed anything except my dignity, which slowly dwindles with each question. The release of popular award-winning books such as Homeless Bird, which portrays the typical Indian girl who is forced to get married at thirteen, didn't help Indians anywhere. And, who could have guessed, the author hadn't even been to India! No kidding. Six entire chapters in the textbook were devoted to Christianity, whereas one page is given to the history of India and the teachings of Hinduism. A second page is entirely about Lord Shiva, accompanied by a rather unbecoming picture of an ancient dancing Shiva statue. Buddhism gets one paragraph. This doesn't make sense, as most of the school already knows so much about Christianity, but hardly any even knew Buddhism or Hinduism existed. Now that they did, we would be ridiculed publicly.

I know that many will not have heard of Rush, so to give a quick overview: they were formed in Toronto, Canada in the late sixties. They consist of Geddy Lee - Vocals, Bass and Keyboards, Alex Lifeson - Guitars and Neil Peart - Drums. It is hard to describe their music style, as they have gone through different varieties over the years. Let us just say Rock, shall we? Classic, Hard, Heavy, sometimes Soft. They are, simply put...

This features all members of the band acting as a group of people in a sausage caf while 'Rash' are on a small stage in the caf performing a strange version of their hit Spirit of Radio. It is all rather silly. I guess it appeals more for Rush fans, but my two kids who are ages 12 and 8 and are not big Rush fans found it funny. We then join the concert and the real 'Spirit of Radio' ensues. It is followed by the rather different 'Time Stand Still.' Next up is the bright 'Presto,' followed by the dark 'Stick it out.' Then we have the new-ish and rather great 'Working them Angels.' This shows that Rush still have a lot to give as this is fresh and new.

Listen to METZ's Dbut Album The Toronto trio METZ is rude, severe, and excellent. They make rock music, all of it loud, most of it precise without feeling checked. It's raucous stuff, heavily indebted to music recorded for the Chicago label Tough & Go in the eighties, and recordings made in the nineties for the D.C. label Dischord. We are happy to be streaming their self-titled dbut album, exclusively, until Wednesday. A few days ago, I spoke on the phone with the band's guitarist and singer, Alex Edkins. Can you give me a brief history of the band? [The drummer] Hayden [Menzies] and I started playing music together in Ottawa when we were pretty young. We started METZ there with one other guy, about five years ago. We decided a change of scenery would be a good idea, so we moved down to Toronto four years ago. The other guy decided to stay in Ottawa. The moment you started playing together was five years ago? Yeah. But that's before we met [the bassist] Chris [Slorach]. We found Chris in Toronto, and that's when the real band came together and we started to put out records. Ottawa is a great town for live music. It is. I feel really fortunate to have started there, because, at the time, it was just an amazing place for punk rock and hardcore, a real tight-knit community.

is dainty and quaint in a good way. It's a dark comedy about anomie, an exploration of those difficult years between being young, being old and just being. July wrote, directed, and co-stars as Sophie, a 35-year-old dancer who teaches ballet to little girls and lives with Jason (Hamish Linklater), a pleasant young man who runs a computer-repair service from their small Los Angeles apartment. Neither seems to be doing much, and furthermore, they look the same, as if Jason were just another aspect of Sophie's vacancy. It's the unformed appearance of people who are drifting aimlessly. We've met such people before in film, but their purposelessness seems especially unadorned in The Future : It's part of July's unforced sense of whimsy. "I wish I was just a notch prettier," Sophie says, looking into the mirror with characteristic melancholy. "I'm right on the edge, you know, where it's up to a person to decide for themselves. I have to make the case with each new person." It's an ideal description of both July's pixie near-beauty and the solipsism of a lost generation. Sophie and Jason have decided to adopt a cat -- this is where Paw Paw comes in -- but they have to wait 30 days. They calculate that the cat may live another five years, necessitating their staying home to look after it. By then they'll be 40, which is basically 50, and after 50, Jason says, "the rest is just loose change. Not enough to get what | OP | OP RV | 425,931 |
sovereign definition of democracy. There is no correspondence between this broad conception and the outlook of His Majesty's Government. Democracy, I must explain to the Lord President, does not mean, "We have got our majority, never mind how, and we have our lease of office for five years, so what are you going to do about it?" That is not democracy, that is only small party patter, which will not go down with the mass of the people of this country. Presently, we shall convince the party opposite that the will of the people will prevail. We accept that tribunal, and all their plans will be to shirk it. The right hon. Gentleman has an obvious, unconcealable, well-known relish for petty dictatorship. He has many good qualities, but he should always be on guard against his propensity and love to "cat and mouse" people from morning until night. Look at all the power he is enjoying today. No Government in time of peace has ever had such arbitrary power over the lives and actions of the British people, and no Government has ever failed more completely to meet their daily practical needs. Yet the right hon. Gentleman and his colleagues are avid for more power. No Government has ever combined so passionate a lust for power with such incurable impotence in its exercise.

Hi I'm Phil Collins, and today I'd like to talk to you about my favourite band, Ashes. When I was at the peak of my superstardom (1984-1992 according to Wikipedia), I thought I had it all. I'd wake up every morning, look in the mirror and say to myself, "Enjoy it mate, it doesn't get any better than this." And for all I knew, it didn't. I had a beautiful (second) wife, and an amazing daughter ( love you Lily). I spent my life playing music to sell-out crowds, going to all the best parties, eating in the finest restaurants, and generally having a bloody great time. Then the dark times came. My second divorce hit me hard, much harder than the first, and possibly even harder than the more recent divorce I went through back in 2007. I was so caught up with my personal affairs that I barely noticed the gradual extinction of my signature sound, the gated reverb snare drum. It's only by chance that I happened upon a dingy pub in inner-city Sydney and caught my first glimpse of the band now known as Ashes. I had been staring into the bottom of an empty schooner for what seemed like hours, when a soul shaking blast of crunchy overdriven guitar nearly knocked me clear off my stool. | SP | SP IT | 3,298,386 |

bounds of prudent environmental review and safety precautions, to move expeditiously with resource-based exploration and development. These changes have not been undertaken in secret. The prime minister has campaigned on this agenda (or something close to it) in four general elections, plus his own original MP byelection. Indeed, before entering elected service, he had spent much of his adult life making the philosophical and evidentiary case for just such an agenda. For that matter, I suspect that even before I cited them, anyone reading this piece and likely most of the people they know could have listed these examples of Canada's economic action plan in action. Certainly, Tom Mulcair, the leader of the Opposition, knows them well and has been aggressively attacking each and every one of them. It strikes me that only the premiers seem not to know what Canada's economic action plan is. I reach that conclusion not only from their most recent words, but from their ongoing deeds. Between Christy Clark's "fair share" and David Alward's "buy New Brunswick" strategies, it becomes clear that free trade is not a provincial option. The size of government in just about every province is growing, not shrinking.

Sally' statement is that it is a well-worn phrase with a meaning and is used elsewhere other than shanties so if its name crops up at random it doesn't necessarily mean it is anything to do with the shanty of that name. I think that it is unclear which way the influences went on this song. It could just as easily have gone from chanty to blackface minstrel. Emmett wrote his song "Ole Aunt Sally", which contains the single line in the chorus about "round the corner, Sally", in 1843, and we have at least one earlier reference to the chanty (1839) that assumes that it has been out there for a while (Reynolds). Absolutely, the direction of influence between the different sources is a minefield. In most cases I would imagine influences were flying back and forth between the different genres at quite a rate. Some channels of influence are more obvious than others. African-American culture parodied/utilised in minstrel genre. Land-based work song on water-based worksong. Once the minstrel craze took off - universal influence. To mention but a few. I'd like to begin pulling together the references to stuff going on in the 1840s.

When first published in 1977, A Literature of Their Own quickly set the stage for the creative explosion of feminist literary studies that transformed the field in the 1980s. Launching a major new area for literary investigation, the book uncovered the long but neglected tradition of women writers in England. A classic of feminist criticism, its impact continues to be felt today. This revised and expanded edition contains a new introductory chapter surveying the book's reception and a new postscript chapter celebrating the legacy of feminism and feminist criticism in the efflorescence of contemporary British fiction by women. Reviews: " A Literature of Their Own places the women novelists everyone has heard of ... in a new setting, considering them in relation to their relatively unknown female contemporaries. The resulting shift of perspective generates fresh social and literary understanding."--Patricia Meyer Spacks, The New York Times Book Review "Ought to be required reading for anyone who cares about women or the history of the novel. [This book] is a rare thing: a book of literary criticism that illuminates our lives."--Erica Jong, The Los Angeles Times Book Review "This book is absolutely and immediately essential reading....

I think people can differentiate between big and small events and should expect more from these big events, after all they need a lot more volunteers. [QUOTE=thejoth;954327]all anybody wanted was a decent meal and a bit of respect, two things taken away by the outsourcing of volunteering.... Agree. Surely, a feed is the bare minimum?! If not, then it's little wonder they've needed to take this action. Good grief... Which is precisely my point. It probably needs to start with a touch of common decency rather than tickets and prizes. Catering for volunteers (I'd be happy with one of those delicious baked spuds!) and a genuine 'thank you for your time'. That would go a long way. Irrespective of whether it actually costs for the tickets or not, I bet the cost of the volunteers tickets is recorded as an expense for the event (for accounting purposes) and contributes to the fees - they're (fairly) considered a cost of running the event. Not that there is any actual loss in reality, as you say, they're just giving away spare seats. | ID | ID DF | 206,192 |
something that someone claims infringes copyright would mean that your site could potentially be blocked. Of course, SOPA wouldn't just harm non-profits like Wikipedia. Who would have invested in Google knowing that one link to the wrong website could shut the whole thing down? The policing and legal costs that would burden every website they did not kill off would be passed on to the consumer. Imagine if every cartographer were responsible for any crimes being committed in the places he charted -- to which he, essentially, created links. There would be a lot less exploration. That would be the online world under SOPA and PIPA. The Internet's culture of contribution and connection would be decimated. The Net would be unrecognizable, except that of course there would still be pirates. Pirates, whether they are boarding your ship and taking your pieces of eight or downloading your big-budget films and making their fortunes by selling them to others, don't obey the law (remember, copyright-protection laws already exist). Making the lives of a lot of other (admittedly sometimes seafaring) folks more constrained, litigious and generally less creative isn't going to guilt one single real pirate into suddenly becoming a decent, hard-working longshoreman. However, what might work -- if the aim of these bills is really to curtail the amount of illegally viewed films and television shows, and not to preserve outdated business models, or to allow governments more control over the Web -- is facilitating better access to more legal viewing.

Furthermore, the Bible also says that once we are saved, we are not free to be bad (Rom. 6:1-2). On the contrary, we are obligated to be good. In John 14:15 Jesus says, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." Also, 1 John 2:3 says, "And by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments." Confused? Don't be. We are not saved by our works because we cannot be. The only way to be saved is to trust in the finished sacrificial work of Christ on the cross. But, once saved, the person is now changed. He is a new creation and the old things have passed away (2 Cor. 5:17). This means that our old sinful ways are gone (or on their way out as we struggle against them). It also means that we then do good works to honor God. We don't do good works to be saved or stay saved. We do good works because we are saved. I once heard it said that you are not saved by good works, but you aren't saved without them. This means that our good works don't save us in any way, but once we are saved we naturally obey God's law and do good works which is a | OP | OP RS | 1,386,670 |
provide retirement funding? Will you also allow for losses?? The problem funding an insatiable state appetite is the result of successive govt's turning voters into beneficiaries. We are rapidly running out of "other people's money" The adjustment to reality is going to be very painful. Taxing everything that moves to chuck money down a black hole is only going to make things worse and fuel the "black economy". And yes I believe a CGT will target the family home and taxing that kind of "capital" is nothing short of bloody theft. Your home is already a tax paid investment.

command a higher weekly rental. Additional storage for bikes, lawn mowers and general household goods, should be considered if you are able to add value to your property with the addition of a garage. 5. Fixed tenancy versus a periodic tenancy Our research shows that in Australia most residential tenancies especially in the big cities, are for a Fixed Term. This appears to be becoming more popular in NZ now, as landlords understand why. The benefits: less turnover of tenants, thus more continuity of rent, fewer vacancies means a higher income less wear and tear due to fewer tenancy changes. Also the tenants may take better care of the property, and they are less likely to "do a runner" as they are responsible for the rent over the entire period, or until you find another tenant on similar terms. We recommend tenancies be offered for a one year period, and that inspections are carried out quarterly.

However because these Breadcrumbs are being rendered from the main StaffPage, if we are on Level 1, then they won't show up due to the <% if Level(2) %> in the Breadcrumbs.ss include, so we need to insert the code directly into our StaffPage_show.ss template like so: Just wanted to note that $allowed_actions isn't required as far as I know even in 2.4.

WARA: HAVANA MUSIC MEETS LONDON VIA THE REST OF THE WORLD Published on: Mon Aug 20, 2012 Author: Tian Spain Source: LAB Eliane Correa talks to LAB's Tian Spain about Wara, a Cuban-Latin-London group whose members are an awe-inspiring mixture of Spanish, British, Cuban, Argentinian, Chilean and African nations. Yet it's hard for them to break down the stereo-type images of salsa and rum and project not only the varieties and diversity of their music, but the realities confronting immigrants. "There's so much heartbreak, nostalgia, broken families and disappointments in migration," they say: and they try to reflect this in their lyrics. LAB: How did the group form and where are you all from? Eliane: I'd been wanting to do something with my songs for a while when, at the end of 2009, I said to some of my music classmates at the School of Oriental and African Studies, 'Hey guys, let's start a band'. None of my material was anywhere near finished at the time, and I just wrote out 'Pretty Clich' on the bus on my way to the first rehearsal so that we had something to do!

way to get a response is to reboot using the IR remote code. As a result I'd say avoid the Shutdown function, just use the Black screensaver and remember that the HDD spins down after twenty minutes anyway, as specified in the rc.local file that runs a hdparm command before launching XBMC. Shutting down doesn't seem to equate to any power saving or heat reduction, anyway - in fact for my money the box is actually hotter after shutting down and being left all night than just letting it go into standby via blanking the screen and spinning down the HDD. @zekepliskin That makes sense as the shutdown function is using HAL to execute a halt via "shutdown -h". @survery_sez Your log doesnt show anything out of the ordinary. Xbmc is not being shutdown. You can see what a real shutdown is like if you "Exit" from Xbmc. There's messages about the services being turned off, etc. It's just hung or frozen.

Typical trigeminal neuralgia is characterised by recurring, paroxysmal, lancinating, shock-like pain within the distribution of one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve. Light tactile stimulation may trigger such an attack. Although the contribution of central and peripheral mechanisms to the aetiopathogenesis of trigeminal neuralgia still remains unclear, the concept of vascular compression of the trigeminal root as the main causal factor in idiophatic "tic douloureux" has achieved widespread acceptance. Trigeminal neuralgia may also afflict patients with multiple sclerosis. In these cases, the demyelination of central trigeminal pathways is the accepted aetiology, and the presence of a T2 hyperintensity along the intrapontine course of trigeminal fibres is generally considered a contraindication to microvascular decompression. We recently saw a case of successful microvascular decompression in a patient without multiple sclerosis, despite an intrapontine trigeminal lesion. This 66 year old previously healthy man presented with a 6 year history of intense, paroxysmal, electric shock-like pain in the territory of the second branch of the right trigeminal nerve. The pain was triggered by washing his face and shaving and it lasted for a few seconds. Painful attacks, initially rare, gradually increased in frequency and intensity and spread to the first trigeminal branch. ... | IN | IN | 335,280 |

an essay which most obviously seems in keeping with the book's premise, investigating ways in which child agency is granted and then rescinded by an adult author. Rebecca-Anne Do Rozario's essay on The Bartimaeus Trilogy and The Welkin Weasels argues that children's literature "realign[s] the child as a central figure in order to reverse the power relationship traditional between adult and child, while reflecting upon the relationship of colonizer and colonized" (131). Jon-Paul C. Dyson investigates the creation of children's book awards, with specific reference to the American attempts to socialize children during World War II. Several interesting essays discuss multicultural texts and their socio-political viewpoints: Mijeong Lopez Park's investigation of subtle propaganda in Korean American children's books; Wendy Knepper's examination of Patrick Chamoiseau's fighting of French Imperialism through storytelling; and Sharanya Jayawickrama's assessment of fairy tales "ostensibly written by the children of the Butterfly Peace Garden of Sri Lanka"(xix). Different genres and formats are also remarked upon, with Roni Natov discussing autobiographical picture books, and Laurie N. Taylor arguing that comics and graphic novels "present [...] contextualized arguments about social justice" in a way child readers can understand (256). Ultimately this book provides a number of lively and interesting chapters investigating how adults assert their power in the world of children's literature.

You have to use violence to defend Islamic values? "Yes, of course." Where did this Misunderstander of Islam get this crazy idea? Has he been reading "Islamophobic" literature? Where is the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims rushing to disabuse him of his misunderstanding? "Defending Islam, with violence: Trial of Salafist man rivets Germany," from World Crunch , October 15 (thanks to Frank): BONN - "You have to use violence to defend Islamic values?" asks the judge. "Yes, of course," Murat K. replies. Five months after he attacked police officers with a knife, the 26-year-old Salafist came clean in the courtroom: it was his duty, he said, to wound the police officers. The officers in question are veterans, used to dealing with hooligans and rioting demonstrators, also very aggressive ones. They are not prone to being easily riled. That they should be the ones involved makes Murat K.'s case all the more unusual. The wiry 49-year-old commander has been with the police's operational readiness squad since 1998. Murat K. went for him with a knife, but missed. The policeman whose job it was to get into the thick of the action with a camera and document what happened had 12 years of police experience. He received a knife wound. Then there was the group leader: a self-possessed woman of 30 with a clear and precise way of speaking. She had been through May 1 demonstrations in Berlin several times.

still practice journalism in that they attempt to have both sides (or more) of the issue represented on their news segments. What really pisses off the liberals is that they have mostly conservative opinion shows on rather than the other outlets who have entirely liberal opinion shows. Madison and Jefferson and Franklin built a Republic - Roberts killed it! It may be "very much a part of Journalism now" but that depends on what they mean by "journalism." Case in point, how many of them, including the White House, consider Fox News a real news organization(this despite the fact that FNC has higher ratings than the others like CNN, MSDNC combined)? All this means is that they are no longer trying to hide which side they are on, the worst kept secret has changed to the the most blatantly obvious, which is that they are VERY much in the tank for the democrats and particularly DuhOne and are not afraid to say so. That's why they put forth so much effort to discredit them. They see the ratings, and like Obambi's administration, absolutely cannot stand for the truth to be told. It interferes with their agenda - they would much rather have nothing but spoon-fed Obamabots than an informed populace.

to the Mystery cults, it really belongs more firmly in the realm of Gnosticism. The Gnostic redeemer myth was that of a ethereal being whose participation in history was margin and whose fleshly appearance only illusory. The Gnostics traded in "secret knowledge" and "hidden wisdom." It is really the Gnostics that fit the theory better, but they do not fit Paul at all. Historical studies have increasingly shown the pervasive presence of Gnosticism in the background of several New Testament books, especially those which are important for this discussion-1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Colossians, and the Pastorals. At this stage Gnosticism was not so much a defined religious philosophy as it was a radical pneumatic disposition which was diffused throughout many religions including Judaism and Christianity. Paul Does seem to know a wisdom saying source for Jesus' sayings but it is one that is also reflected in the canonical Mark. The believers in Corinth seem to have a different take on the Gospel than many others. In the first couple of chapters of 1 Cor. Paul uses a different terminology than he uses anywhere else. Mainly this consists of words like "wise" and "wisdom." He uses these 10 times in the first chapter, but only four times in all the rest of his corpus. Therse terms bring up a set of sayings from Mark that are noted as distinctly different from Jesus' other other sayings. Mark: 11:25,27, 13:16-17--Luke 10:21-24.

I have detailed econometric models for each of the recessions since the Great Depression and I will reveal that at another time in another format. The following graph shows the annual changes in employment (vertical axis) against the annual real GDP growth rates (horizontal axis) from the first-quarter 1948 to the second-quarter 2012. The black line is a linear trend regression, which relates the annual growth in employment to the annual real GDP growth. The coefficient on the real GDP term for the whole sample is 0.4404, which means in English that for a 1 per cent change in annual real GDP growth, employment growth expands by around 0.44 of a percent. You can also gain some insight by seeing where the trend line cuts the x-axis -- which represents what we might consider to be an employment threshold -- the point after which real GDP growth stimulates employment growth. For the whole sample, the line cuts at around the zero mark, which means that employment growth will be stimulated at very low levels of real GDP growth. So there is an instant employment dividend for stimulus measures that | IP | IP | 22,249 |
