Flights cancelled nationwide after technical problem
12:12pm Saturday 7th December 2013 in News © © Press Association
UPDATE 15.05pm
PASSENGERS Were left stranded today when a technical problem at an air traffic control centre caused chaos at airports across the UK and Ireland.
The National Air Traffic Service said the issue, which has led to flight delays and cancellations, was unlikely to be fixed until between 6.30pm and 7pm.
FLIGHTS have been delayed and cancelled at airports across the UK and Ireland because of a technical problem at an air traffic control centre.
Thousands of people have been affected at major airports including Birmingham, Heathrow, Stansted and Gatwick and the National Air Traffic Services does not currently know how long it will take for the situation to be rectified.
The National Air Traffic Services said the issue arose at its control centre in Swanwick, Hampshire, in the early hours of the morning when a computing glitch meant the night-time operation failed to properly switch over to the daytime system.
A spokesman said: "Due to a technical problem at Swanwick we are currently experiencing some difficulty switching from night-time to daytime operation.
"At night, when it's quiet, we can combine sectors of airspace. When it gets busy in the daytime, we split the sectors out again. The voice communications system is configured to enable this to happen.
"We experienced a technical problem in the early hours of this morning, which means that it hasn't been possible to reconfigure the voice communications system to split out the sectors for the busier daytime traffic in some areas of the UK enroute airspace.
"Engineers are working to rectify the problem as soon as possible, but this is resulting in some delays. Safety has not been compromised at any time, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience being caused to passengers."

The 1909-11 T206 baseball cards measure a larger 1½" by 2¾" and were reprinted in 1988 by CCC. The original T206 is considered nearly impossible to complete and many of the common cards can cost $75 each.

article in The Sun about a fluffy kitty named Jessi-cat who's helping her young owner to find his voice.
Lorcan Dillon is a 7-year-old from Davyhulme, Greater Manchester who suffers from an anxiety condition that makes it almost impossible for him to communicate or express emotion. But that all began to change when his mother, Jayne, brought home a cream-colored Birman cat named Jessi-cat a couple of years ago. (Birmans, not to be confused with Burmese, are semi-longhaired cats with distinctive sapphire eyes and pure white "gloves" on each paw.)
Yahoo! Screen: Meet a crusader for endangered gibbons
Lorcan bonded strongly with Jessi-cat, and as a result, he's better able to show affection, Jayne told The Sun. "The bond between Lorcan and Jessi-cat is so touching as he's able to show physical affection to her which he doesn't like doing with people – even me." Not every cat is up for lots of canoodling, but according to Jayne, Jessi loves it: "She's such a delightful, responsive cat and he hugs and kisses her all the time." Aw.
The article also says that Lorcan is doing better in social situations recently. In the last couple of weeks, Jayne said, he's "started communicating with people he doesn't know very well and even reads to one of the teachers now," which he hasn't done before (aw!). And he's started saying "I love you" for the first time. Awwww!
Jayne noted that cuddling and spending time with the cat is a way for Lorcan "to express his emotions that otherwise he wouldn't be able to do."
Numerous studies have suggested that pets can help with anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses; pet-assisted therapy is offered by senior centers, hospitals, and even universities during exam periods. Jessi-cat may have no formal training and only one "client," but she's still doing great work. She sure made us feel better today.

Welcome to the website of St Mary of Charity - the parish church of Faversham
St Mary of Charity has a diverse, interesting and lively congregation who gather regularly not only to worship but also to support and care for each other and our beautiful church - the largest parish church in Kent.
Please come and visit St Mary of Charity if you are in Faversham - it holds many surprises and we'd be happy to see you!
Information for visitors and those wishing to attend services may be found on the links on the right. There are more pages in this site than tabs appearing on this front page, once you are 'inside' the site you will be able to see them all! If you wish to visit for a specific reason on a particular date, please contact the Parish Administrator or Churchwardens who will ensure that you will be able to access the church. Church closures are shown on the 'News and Events' tab.
If you are planning a visit as a guide with a group, please contact the administrator in advance to ensure that your visit does not clash with any other activities. When visiting, please ensure that you close the door behind you on entering and leaving.
During 2012, St Mary of Charity was in an interregnum which meant that our Priest-in-Charge (our Vicar) left and the church was being run by our curate (Rev James Pettit, now at St Michael's in Sittingbourne) and the Churchwardens. In the meantime, we had to find another person to fill this role. This was an exciting time for us!
Our new Priest-in-charge, Rev Simon Rowlands was Licensed and Installed on Tuesday, 12 February 2013 by Bishop Trevor Willmott, the Bishop of Dover in Canterbury. However, Simon spent six months this summer 'on loan' to the Territorial Army. You can see an open letter from him below:
17 September 2013
Chaplain in Combat
"I was over 30 when I gave up being a Highways Engineer and took Holy Orders. I have now been a vicar for 14 years, currently serving the ministry in Faversham, Kent. However, to be far more accurate Im not actually in Faversham. I am presently in Camp Bastion, Helmand, Afghanistan
The reason for this current location is that I am a Reservist Army Chaplain. Prior to deploying to Afghanistan I completed all the required training, but the greatest amount of time I had ever spent away from my wonderful family was two weeks. However, these short stints away did include trips to Cyprus and the USA. It wasnt all bad!
When in the UK I am chaplain to 3 PWRR (Princess of Waless Royal Regiment). The regiment has deployed a great deal previously and now with my own tour to Afghanistan I am in a stronger position to provide pastoral support to soldiers back home. Back home I am on call to provide counsel and guidance to any of the soldiers in the South East of England in need. There is a regular chaplain, but the footprint they have to cover is so large that it can only be achieved by the integrated support that comes from the Army Reserve Chaplaincy.I am now in Afghanistan. It is a different world, with a different community and different responsibilities although the job that I do is essentially the same. I am chaplain at the hospital in Bastion. I minister directly to that community; not only the patients, but also the staff of this first-class establishment.
On a day-to-day basis I am always on call but with a pager rather than a mobile phone. I am used much more than a normal hospital chaplain would be in the UK. I get paged for all serious medical emergencies and I the
n have about the same time to get there as it will take the helicopter to arrive with the casualty or casualties. I then have a special place to stand within the Emergency Department.
It is the Afghan Armed Forces that do the majority of fighting against the insurgency now and as a result the people coming through with the most serious injuries are overwhelmingly Afghan. They are all Muslim. What can I do as a Christian minister for them? I support and I listen. If an Afghan is dying an interpreter will be called for, but I will be there holding the dying mans hand. No-one should die alone.
My duty is caring for the spiritual and moral well-being of the staff and patients. I do this by being alongside them or, if you will, the ministry of loitering with intent! Others have described it as the ministry of quiet conversation.
I have found the work much like I expected it to be but it has been also more intense. I have seen the full range of the hospitals work from someone dropping a spanner on their foot to the individuals that the medics cannot save. Much of my duty of care is for the staff who deal with all of this, yet a lot of the time all I can feel is humility as I witness these miracles of modern medicine. However, it creates a different perspective when someone is described as being lucky to have lost an eye rather than far worse.
There are still some things that hurt more than others. The clearest example of this is the cry of a child. We almost acknowledge here the risks that adults take and the consequences of the activities that go on, but with a child it is a different degree. You see everyone step up even more on such an occasion. The medics think of home and ask the question Why?
Although my mind quizzes these things, I dont get challenged in any kind of role as Gods representative. Instead they thank me for being here, even though my actions seem inadequate alongside their efforts.
The staff community that I serve is incredibly varied. It starts with personnel from all three of Britains armed forces. It then expands to Danish and American physicians. On the clerical front I deal with Georgians, Danes, Estonians and Americans. Within the American community there are the nuances between US Army, USMC, US Navy and USAF. However, the variation does not end there with the different Catholic and Protestant denominations joined by the Orthodox Church, the Church of Latter Day Saints and Rabbis. However, all the interpreters and locally employed Afghan staff are Muslims which provides yet a further dimension!
Obviously there is an irony that I am employed as a Christian minister within the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. I was here during the heat of summer which coincided with Ramadan. The prayerfulness and commitment to faith shown by the fasting individuals has left a clear impression on me. I have had the chance to meet the Jordanian Forces' Imam and my knowledge of Islam has been unquestionably increased. Faith is to the fore here. It offers the chance to explore.
I also have the regular day-to-day duties and they are little different to Faversham. The church is here but it is a tent rather than a listed building. There is music but not from an organ; CDs are used instead. In case that might be thought to be inferior it is enhanced by the differently accented voices whether they be American soprano or the deep bass rhythms provided by Fijian soldiers. I also find that my mind is focussed. If you are preaching to an armed congregation then you need to make sure the sermon has been well written!
I return in November to my Faversham parish which is being cared for by a band of hard-working retired clergy and the Churchwardens. I will return to my family that I miss on a daily basis. I will be able to walk my dogs and have a reliably decent cup of tea.
The only advice I would give to my successor here in Camp Bastion would be to listen carefully, walk quietly and do not be afraid to go anywhere in the hospital because this is a place where you and your calling are always welcome."
Chaplain Simon Rowlands

Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion
Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion isn't just a music festival. It's an infectious, three-day music experience, bursting with creative passion, electricity, and soul. Every third weekend in September, State Street in historic Downtown Bristol, TN/VA is amped to the beat of Appalachia's past, present, and future. It digs down deep into the roots of traditional Appalachian sound and lifts its branches to new heights–and it all happens in the heart of The Birthplace of Country Music. It is, and isn't, your Daddy's country music. It's hardly strictly bluegrass. It's not a rock show, but it totally does. And if you've never been, you'll never know how much.rnrnNashville may be country music's capitol, but Bristol is the birthplace. It was on State Street in 1927 that talent scout Ralph Peer made the very first country music recordings with The Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers, Ernest Stoneman, and others, for the Victor Talking Machine Company. The recordings known as The Bristol Sessions are recognized internationally as the "Big Bang" of country music.rnrnThe first festival took place in October of 2001 with just a couple thousand people in attendance. By its 10th anniversary in 2010, 45,000 people from 8 foreign countries and 34 states descended upon Downtown Bristol to celebrate the music.rnrnA 501(c)3, non-profit organization, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion is dedicated to keeping ticket prices low for families. The festival relies heavily on volunteerism, fundraising and grant funding. The Reunion is very fortunate to have been embraced by the community in a very personal way. BRRR works closely with a number of local non-profits on projects year-round in support of Bristol's Downtown and music tourism in the region.

Pardew vs. Carr, Kinnear vs. The World
There were no signs of the storm at Newcastle United calming Friday morning when the Daily Mirror's Simon Bird reported that the in-club rifts also include a serious problem in the working relationship of manager Alan Pardew and chief scout Graham Carr.
It was reported Pardew has not been as impressed by the players signed on Carr's recommendation as everyone else has been. The problem there is that Pardew doesn't seem to know how to use them. Moussa Sissoko as a forward or a right midfielder, Vurnon Anita barely used at all and so on. This is not a new issue for Pardew -- he displayed similar reluctance to use Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano in his time as West Ham manager despite them being the two best players at the club!
Another issue for Carr has been the arrival of Joe Kinnear into his role of director of football -- a role which gives the former manager the final say over all transfers. It is believed one of Kinnear's first decisions was to scrap the signing of FC Twente centre half Douglas on a free transfer. Douglas would have been a great addition, but by all accounts Kinnear had never heard of him. This angered Carr and rumours were rife that he was ready to follow Derek Llambias toward the exit, but he now looks set to stay after a meeting with Mike Ashley.
Given the choice of retaining only one of Pardew or Carr, it would be Carr who I would support. Pardew failed badly last season and dished up some truly ugly football in the process.
Pardew would like more influence over incoming transfers, but with his track record of signings I'm glad he won't be granted this wish. Then again I dread to think about the type of players Kinnear will force upon him.
This is where the whole structure inside of the football club falls down. You have a scout who identifies (mostly) excellent players at reasonable cost. Most of these players are 'footballers' (yes, I know that technically they are all footballers, but you know what I mean). The manager, on the other hand, doesn't have the need for footballers of this type -- he's much more comfortable using big, physical players better designed for his old-fashioned, route one brand of football. Square pegs into round holes.
In an effort to iron out the conflict between the manager and the scout (among other things) Ashley decided to bring in Kinnear. Yes, Joe Kinnear. As ridiculous an idea as bringing in a bull to clean up a minor spillage in a china shop. Unless of course Kinnear was appointed to force Pardew toward the exit door.
Or perhaps Kinnear's appointment and transfer dealings will change the club's recruitment strategy to the signing of players the likes of which he brought into Wimbledon. This type of player would far better suit Pardew's team setup, although it will make things even worse for the paying spectator.
My feeling is that by Christmas Alan Pardew will be gone. Many fear that this would mean the reappointment of Kinnear, as manager but I can't see that at all. He might take charge for a game or two but of Pardew quits I think the club would bring in a new man.
The club recently talked of stability when they awarded Pardew and Carr 16 years of contract between them, but in reality there is no stability at all. Quite the opposite, it looks like Ashley actually thrives on turmoil. It's a shame that the club doesn't.

I worked at Leslie's Poolmart
Pros – You learn about pools and how to care for them. You learn customer service and how to work one-on-one with people.
Cons – The hours are not great as you work most weekends and some holidays. Sometimes customers can be hard to deal with. There is no real effort to review employee performance and advance in the organization.
Advice to Senior Management – Provide benefits like health insurance, profit sharing, 401K to all employees, even the lowly associates. Put forth effort to make all employees feel relevent and want to work for Leslie's.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

It will be critical, Riggan said, for Chinese receivers to be instructed in how to handle, store and display U.S. pears to ensure quality. If shrink levels are high, they won't want to buy more, he said.
Point-of-sale materials from the bureau and planned samplings should help the process, Riggan said.
Assuming things do go well, there should be plenty of red anjous to meet whatever demand develops, despite the fact that Washington's crop is down this year, Riggan said.

Lunch & a Book January 2014
On Thursday January 9 at noon, we will be discussing:
Quiet: the power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking by Susan Cain — At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. People who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh's Sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer. Passionately argued, impressively researched, and filled with indelible stories of real people, Quiet shows how dramatically we undervalue introverts, and how much we lose in doing so.

Recipes/Unbeatable Mashed Potatoes
Presented by: Hana Jindrova, from Seattle
serves 4
- 2 medium baking potatoes, cubed
- 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup (or more) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- salt to taste
Optional Ingredients
- freshly ground black pepper
- pressed garlic
- nutmeg
- chives, finely chopped
Boil cubed potatoes in salty water. Drain the potatoes by having the lid on the pot and leaving a little slit. Do it repeatedly to remove all the condensed water and lift the lid to let the steam out.
Mash the potatoes with hand mixer for a few moments. While the potatoes are still very hot mix in quickly the raw egg. Do not worry about salmonella, if you do it fast enough the egg will get cooked. Finish mixing. Add heavy whipping cream to the desired density. Add a little butter, salt, and whatever optional ingredients you choose. If desired, serve with finely chopped chives on top.

I didn't mean every fractional degree. Just maybe every degree of sine up to forty-five for example. You wouldn't have to do cosine or tangent because of the relationships among them.
Which is only second to memorizing The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences
Sorry, God. I am an old guy and have a tendency to want to do things by hand. Whenever I use my TI-89, I almost feel like I'm cheating in some way. But if you really need an answer there is nothing wrong with using technology to find the answer. Actually, I use my calculator all of the time, it's not like I sat down and memorized the trigonomic tables....hmm, I have to put that on my to-do list.

I certainly applaud you ryos, if you brave and energetic enough to do that sort of division on this equation.
Can anyone say polynomial division?
Yes, but could you imagine being given:
y′ = 5(2x+1 / 3x - 2)^4 * [ (3x-2)2 - (2x+1)3 ] / (3x-2)²

A New York man charged with making death threats on Twitter against two CNN anchors covering the Jodi Arias murder trial will be in court Wednesday morning for a hearing.
David Lee Simpson faces five felony counts for comments made toward Nancy Grace and Jane Velez- Mitchell, both hosts of shows on Turner Broadcasting's HLN network who regularly covered the nearly five-month trial on national television.
Investigators said Simpson also threatened a Phoenix woman via Twitter.
Authorities extradited him to Maricopa County and a judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Arias was convicted of brutally killing her ex-lover Travis Alexander in 2008 in his Mesa home.

When driving down the highway, you probably wouldn't even notice a tractor trailer riding beside you. That trailer has the potential of being filled with stolen cargo headed for the black market entrepreneurs who can peddle it nearly anywhere.
These trucks might contain entire cargo shipments, ripped off nationwide by skilled thieves who can make a truckload of valuable cargo disappear in seconds. New Jersey and Pennsylvania are their two favorite targets.
The State Police say that cargo thieves can steal just about anything, from expensive women's handbags to perfume, electronics, valuable metals, food and beverages.
George Giles heads the New Jersey State Police Cargo Theft Unit, an elite squad of highly trained and very successful detectives.
"These guys aren't playing around; they are definitely professionals." Giles said.
This isn't a cheap operation either. The job is a million-dollar-job. The crew doesn't just operate in New Jersey, but throughout the Nation. Troopers and truckers say that truckloads of merchandise get stolen every day. Truckers leave their cargo behind for a minute, and they are soon questioning its new location.
"You stop for a cup of coffee or something like that, they break a window, jump in your truck and take the whole truck with the load," Giles said.
There's also the fictitious pick up to look out for. This occurs when thieves are able to track a truck loaded with expensive merchandise on the Internet or have inside information. They go to the warehouse where the merchandise is stored, posing as the trucking company that's supposed to pick it up. Video captured shows one such fictitious pick up in action. The scammers even had phony signs on the truck that matched the real decal. They changed it back quickly after the steal.
The New Jersey Police say that these cargo thieves are high tech too. They know that many truck drivers use GPS systems, so they often take counter measures.
"If the cargo thieves steal the trailer [and] clicks on the GPS jammer, that vehicle disappears from that company's screen," said Giles.
And truckers aren't just worried about having their GPS altered. Thieves even have keys made that can actually open certain tractors and start them up.
Efraim Melendez runs a trucking company out of Camden, and he works hard hauling all kinds of merchandise across the country. He admits that truckers are constantly worried.
"It's getting real bad. It's getting to the point near the Holidays that everybody needs to be real careful." Melendez said.
Another recovered video shows a New Jersey warehouse filled with millions of dollars' worth of stolen copper. There are also food products that could be spoiled, meats, cheeses, you name it. This is putting the public at risk as well.
"The consumer is the one who pays everything at the end of the day." Melendez said.
With over 1,200 cargo thefts nationwide last year, troopers say that trucking companies are reluctant to report many of these crimes, so chances are it's a bigger problem than gets reported.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Ten o'clock. The neighborhood's quiet has finally been broken by the hum of lawnmowers somewhere down the street. For the last two hours, I've enjoyed quiet. Throwing open the back door and looking out to my garden of basil and rosemary and lemon thyme with some geraniums woven in for color. I indulged myself in the rare morning quiet, listening leaves clicking softly against one another in the wind, a pair of cardinals calling to each other. I lost myself for an hour in a book, a a pot of strong coffee, a toasted English muffin slathered with butter and raspberry jam, and glances at an American flag flickering its red stripes in the spaces between leafy branches. The computer and piles of work sat accusingly on the desk, jealous that I hadn't yet paid them attention.
Now, I've snapped to back to reality, vacation over, the coffee pot practically drained, the cardinals flapping furiously away. The lawnmowers buzz like a swarm of crazed bees as more landscapers unload equipment around the neighborhood. The refrigerator starts depositing ice cubes furiously into its bin. I'll turn on sports radio full blast to my favorite broadcaster, as long as he's talking baseball. Pick up the kitchen. When the noise stops, I'll move the computer outdoors and try to outrun the sun.
Maybe later, I'll put together a berry crisp with my cache from the farmers' markets: they're just about to go too soft to put on my Cheerios.
ANY BERRY CRISP Makes about 6 servings
5 to 6 cups mixed berries, any kind
1/3 cup sugar
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 cup AP flour
˝ cup brown sugar
˝ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
˝ cup rolled oats
1/3 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, or any combination)
Whipped cream for serving

What is Trenchless Technology?
Trenchless technology is a progressive civil engineering process for the installation, replacement or renewal of underground utilities with no or minimal excavation and surface disruption. These innovative methods have been utilized successfully for all underground utilities including water mains, storm and sanitary sewers, gas main, electrical and fiber optics conduits. When employed in urban areas, substantial benefits are realized including dramatically reduced disruption to vehicular and pedestrian traffic, to business activities, to residential areas, and to environmentally sensitive areas.
Trenchless technologies are the premier crossing options for major roads, railways, waterways as well as natural or manmade structures. In most cases, trenchless techniques will demonstrate significant cost savings for municipalities and utilities over traditional open trench methods. Recent advancements in robotics have allowed trenchless technologies to provide pipe condition diagnostics never before available which permit utility owners to more accurately identify infrastructure priorities.
Who is NASTT?
NASTT is an engineering society of individuals, public organizations and private companies with strong beliefs in the practical, social and environmental benefits of trenchless technology. Founded in 1990, NASTT represents 1,500 members throughout the United States and Canada who all promote better and more responsible ways to manage our underground infrastructure.
NASTT's mission is to advance trenchless technology and to promote its benefits for the public and the natural environment by increasing awareness and knowledge through technical information dissemination; research and development; education and training. NASTT strives to provide a representative voice for all sectors of the trenchless technology industry.
For more than twenty years, the all-volunteer members of NASTT have presented non-commercial information seminars and training about these "green alternative" engineering methods to North American communities.

I'm an ESL teacher from Buenos Aires, Agentina. I'm a teacher of English and an online facilitator of Spanish as a Second Language. I also have a University Degree in Education from the Buenos Aires University.
I love teaching and I've been doing so for nearly a decade. My main interests are languages, education and the new technologies.
I have experience teaching young learners, adolescents as well as adults. I'm convinced that languages, above all, are communicational tools. That is why my teaching approach is mainly communicative.
Being each student unique, I firmly believe that the teacher should be flexible and always take into account the student's needs and interests. Teaching, then, should place the student in the centre of its concerns.

Us Congress
Here we go again. The High Streets are full of bargain-hungry shoppers, the Christmas decorations are back in their boxes, New Year's resolutions are still just about holding, and a certain ski resort in Switzerland is readying itself for an influx of global economic power-brokers. The World Economic Forum is about to descend, once again, on Davos.
The Eurozone's enduring sovereign debt crisis has dominated Davos for the past few years, reaching fever pitch as it lurched from one potential calamity to another. The currency's very survival has been the hot topic in this freezing Swiss town of late.
As Greece looked to be heading for the exit door, and some delegates wondered if it was all a big German conspiracy to control Europe, eyes turned to China as the global economy's potential saviour.

MANNY'S BRIDGE … Dr. Emanuel Salzman founded the Telluride Mushroom Festival 30 years ago, and he's been a bit of a one-week-a-year Telluride celebrity (reclusive and humble as he and his wife Joanne have always been). But they also have had a large role to play in Denver's Lower Downtown or LoDo neighborhood, where they were urban pioneers who began living across from Union Station when it was far from fashionable. Together they have spear-headed efforts to make LoDo more bicycle and pedestrian friendly, including preserving a steel railroad bridge across Cherry Creek on Wynkoop St. (where John Hickenlooper, with the Salzmans as investors, started his famous brewery) … The Mayor honored Manny last year by naming the bridge after him, and dedicating a plaque in his honor (smashing a special batch of Wynkoop ale on the abutment). I got to visit the bridge with Manny when I was in Denver last, tying up mushroom loose ends, participating in political dramas (progressives knocked two arch-conservatives off Colorado Counties' Public Lands delegation to D.C. and elected Rachel Richards of Pitkin County and our own Lynn Padgett of Ouray County in their place), and meeting with cohorts and consultants as part of my CSU's Center for Collaborative Conservation fellowship.
BETTER DEAD THAN RED … Not a few of us oldsters remember this apocalyptic Cold War mantra coined by the right, back when almost anyone who worked for social justice or peace was considered "a commie" … Curious that now the color "red" represents the very right-wing that tried to demonize the Left in the Sixties … Given the radical Tea Party hysteria and their untenable political positions (their much-touted Amendments 60 & 61, plus Proposition 101, are estimated to cost Colorado almost 6,000 jobs and is guaranteed to raise property taxes just to maintain existing services), perhaps we need an updated Dem version of this mantra as current bumper sticker.

This and That
I live in Greenfield with my husband and cat. I work full time. Frugality and simplicity have been a part of my life long before they became popular and it has made life a lot less stressful. I love volunteering, home improvement/decorating, crafting and gardening.
More Frugal Ideas! I Wish I Could Teach A Class On Frugality
I hope my ideas are assisting some of you. I wish I could teach a class on everything I have learned and done over the years to save money, build up savings, and reduce expenses and debt.
Over the last two weeks, our electric dryer quit drying and two of our printers started printing poorly. The dryer is only 3 years old, the black and white laser printer is 15 years old and the color laser printer is 8 years old. Together, my husband and I fixed them all and they are working and running as well as the day we purchased them and we didn't spend a dime! First of all, we went online and googled "how to fix......." and got into a website that bloggers use to help out people who have questions on fixing something that is wrong with an appliance and/or printer or whatever. We always save the booklets we receive when we purchase an item but this time they did not help us figure out what was wrong. First of all and most importantly, ALWAYS UNPLUG AN APPLIANCE OR PRINTER OR WHATEVER YOU ARE FIXING WHILE YOU ARE WORKING ON IT!
New School Board Members
I would like to get feedback (your thoughts) on the two new school board members. Do you feel they will get our city back on track with school spending as well as the needs of the children who need a good education in our schools? What are your thoughts on the previous school board members? I've heard things over the years on large raises, etc. and wonder if others heard or know of the same.
Thank you

Kids are still unsafe and our freedom is still under threat
The cyber world celebrated last week following the Labor Government's supposed 'back-down' on its mandatory internet filter proposal. Instead of imposing its own 'clean feed', the Government has begun issuing notices to require ISPs to filter a more limited Interpol 'worst of the worst' list. However, this change leaves a lot to be worried about.
We should be worried that the Government is using an obscure section of the Telecommunications Act - originally passed by parliament in 1997, ten years before Labor first took the policy to an election - to avoid legislative scrutiny.
We should be worried that the Government is still forcing ISPs to block a list of web address, with the major change pertaining to who writes the list.
We should be worried that rather than just our Government censoring and choosing what we can view online, many other Governments in democratic and very undemocratic countries will be deciding through Interpol.
And finally, we should be worried about the possible expansion and extension of the Interpol list.
The issue of mandatory Internet filtering has never been about what content is unacceptable; there was always agreement, even amongst its critics, about the unacceptability of the main target, child pornography. Nor was the main issue that the previous plan would slow down the Internet.
The central concern has always been the principle of not giving the Government control over what we can view online. However, the new plan is even worse than just giving our Government the power; we are giving this power to other unaccountable Governments and police forces. Moreover, unlike with the original proposal, with a clear complaints procedure, if a website is incorrectly put on the list Interpol provides no clear way to get it removed.
While right now the list is of little threat, Interpol could expand or change the list criteria, which Australian ISPs would be forced to implement. Alternatively, there is little stopping a future Government from using the already created infrastructure and legal framework to require the blocking of another list of websites. Considering how the law is already being used, there is little theoretically stopping the Government from requiring ISPs to filter any other illegal material - be it refused classification material, such as information about euthanasia, or overseas gambling sites.
This effectively leaves us in the exact same circumstance as the original plan: few of the websites on the current list are problematic, however it is the fact that the capabilities exist and the power exists that could lead to future abuse.
Optus and Telstra blocking the Interpol list at the moment is concerning, but this is only because they did so to avoid harsher Government regulation in future; the threat of Government regulation has effectively acted like actual regulation and compulsion. However, in general, there is nothing wrong with ISPs voluntarily filtering content as they see fit.
If filtering is optional, competition protects the user from mistreatment; we can always swap to a different ISP if the filter becomes unacceptable and a private provider is unlikely to apply an unacceptable list, for fear of losing customers. None of this is possible if the Government is mandating all ISPs implement the same filter. If the list goes bad, we are all stuck with it.
Many of the same problems with the original 'clean feed' also apply to the new proposal. It will do near nothing to stop people from willfully making, trading or accessing child sexual abuse through unblocked sites or peer-to-peer transfer. It will also continue to throw parents into a false sense of security, as once again very little will be blocked and the dangers of the Internet will continue.
Parents' closely monitoring their children's activity remains the only effective way to ensure kids are protected online.
Liberty is rarely taken away all at once; in fact we have most to worry about in cases like this, when it creeps away without many people complaining. Too often, following a long debate, we allow our Government to choose a more 'moderate' approach to an unpopular policy. The Government makes this choice to avoid the negative scrutiny of worst option. The original critics respond by breathing a sigh of relief in the knowledge that their worst fears have not been met.
However, it is this very sigh of relief that is most dangerous; once we ignore what is being done because it is not the worst option, we lose our chance to achieve the best option. Our Government does not need nor should it have the power to control the Internet through any manner of mandatory filtering.

The only important filter at the moment is the filter of a royal commission by the Gillard Labor Govt to flush out the evil atrocity that exists within the Catholic Church. The Labor Movement must forgo its ties with the Catholic Church, otherwise the victims of this evil atrocity will remain scared for life and our freedom and safety will always be under threat.
While dealing with the sex child abuse Gillard can also use a bit of push and a bit of charm with the Catholic Church to the gay marriage issue.
ramases says:
This is typical of all Labor Policies, a backflip that either cost millions or puts the onus on others to do its dirty work. Interpol may compile a list but it will take about 2 seconds to change the name of a banned website for it to be up and running again. The whole thing is an exercise in futility and whilst people want certain sites blocked its virtually an impossibility to do this without impinging on the rights of others to view what they wish. A list that is compiled in secrecy lends itself to uses other than those intended and this is the thin edge of the wedge. How long will it be before we are blocked from certain sites that openly criticise the Government of the day and we have no recourse as we have by our acquiescence allowed the Government free hand in censoring the internet without a squeak of protest under the guise of protecting us from child porn. Be afraid people, be very afraid.
Gerry W says:
Why has not the Government done anything about SEX SPAM…young kids do not need to be exposed to these spam ads…fix the real issues NOW
A Concerned Citizen says:
I wonder if "Wikileaks" will be categorized among the sites to be blacklisted?
Nothing this mob does surprises me anymore.
Elphaba says:
Filtering needs to be put in the hands of the parents. They need to be monitoring their child's internet use by putting computers in a public space in the home, installing filters themselves (there are loads available!), not buying them smartphones and getting educated themselves on how to check history, etc.
And when all of that fails and little Johnny does see something on his friend's phone, or computer, they need to get a grip. Kids will be kids. They will see something they probably shouldn't. It will not damage them. If the lines of communication are open between kids and parents, then your child will be fine.
The horse has bolted on internet censorship in this country. People need to take responsibility for themselves.
LC says:
This governement has backed down on the mandatory internet filtering plan. Even though the motivation is more likely to be the fact they've finally realized there's no way they can get it through parliament due to opposition from The Greens, The Coalition and all the Independents, (not because Conroy finally woke up to our concerns after 4 years), it's a decent first step. But they are by no means whatsoever a friend of the internet
This interpol filter still has potential for abuse, and will suffer all the same issues as the Aussie one. Why not, y'know, SHUT THE SITES DOWN AND ARREST THOSE BEHIND THEM, rather than filtering them out? Or failing that, order ISPs to monitor traffic that goes to them and relay this info to relevant law enforcement bodies. If there is indeed child porn sites on the web, then they're not going to be something Joe Average is going to stumble on or even look for.
And even worse, Roxon's plan to allow authorities acsess to your internet history for the last two years without the requirement of a warrant should be cauing immense concern.
If the plan was to record and database people's phonecalls for police to acsess without a warrant, open up and photocopy every letter (and photograph the contents of every parcel) and database them for police to acsess without a warrant, or have CCTV cameras installed in everyones homes for the police to monitor without a warrant, there would be a media shitstorm, riots in the streets, and post next election federal Labor will be in worse shape then their comrades in Queensland. This plan is the same thing in a different setting.
I just hope we aren't going to let Labor off the hook just like that <snaps fingers>, they still aren't and likely won't be anytime soon, a friend of the internet. But knowing the voting public's amazingly short memory…
Proud thinking Australian says:
Malcolm Turnbull said "Stephen Conroy's humiliating backdown on his proposed Internet filter comes after five years of bullying bluster. But don't be fooled. He hasn't turned into a libertarian. His instinct is always to control and dominate. This is the Minister who boasted that he had the power to make telco executives wear red underpants on their heads. The Internet filter has been abandoned only because Conroy has been forced to recognize he cannot get it through the Parliament."
Here ends Malcolm cheap dig posted on his Google+ social media feed last Friday attacking the government for "deciding to do nothing". I find this hurray the government did nothing very lame.
The elephant in the room Malcom and Stephen are choosing to side step is the growing level of criminality that exists online. If I was to open a shop front in downtown Sydney with framed still pictures and LED monitors displaying video material promoting child molestation and raping women I would be shut down and charged in NSW. However if I was to take my virtual store front with identical obscene material to the Reddit file link sharing platform in the USA I would be immune from Australian law and free to carry on promoting violent criminal acts (A misuse of lawful freedom).
The "content" (criminal material) is the same "content", whether printed out, on open display in a shop in town or on a pay per view from Nigeria. The federal government and opposition together should be focused on attacking the material which is illegal and those promoting child assault and rape etc.
Freedom to do and promote anything past the rule of law [and more importantly against the spirit of the law (with its intent of reducing crime and harm to others)] is not a freedom of expression issue.
There is civil society where the rule of law is respected and then there are other places around you would not like to live in. The same concept applies on-line.
The internet is already filtered by virtue of its size and the browsers used to search it. I would offer that a reasonable government direct efforts to instruct Australian ISP's and browsers to seek and destroy / report offenders and their material and thereby restrict or prevent access to violent criminal acts and their promotion anywhere. Net policing also already happens now. We can and should get tougher on limiting the promotion and reach of criminal activity into the Australian community in any form it wishes to mutate and transmit itself.
If "filtering" aka "robot search, report and destroy" is being proactive and ISP / browser software companies are instructed to do this by government as good civic minded players in our economy (law jurisdiction) there is no downside, unless you wish to obtain the criminal material. Stop the rot.
Chris L says:
Yeah, I didn't think it would be so simple. As much as I love the NBN and hope the project gets seen through in its entirety, I can't vote for any party that wants to control what we see and read. A shame, since I'm not overly fond of their competition at the moment either. Minor parties all the way for me at the next election.
Utopia Boy says:
"Parents' closely monitoring their children's activity remains the only effective way to ensure kids are protected online."
That's all that's needed to be said about children. The quality of the parents then becomes a key issue, and about time.
As for the P2P and dodging the filter, as described in the article, there's not much that can be done. Governments fighting that is like the dinosaurs trying to fend off asteroids. Governments don't have the capability to truly regulate the net, and that's why, in some shape or form, it will always be censorship free.
The fact remains though that people must have the right to choose. How can you know what's right if you get fed by the nanny state at every thought-meal?
