Almost one million drivers in Britain have got behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs in the past year, new figures suggest.
A survey of 1,000 drivers by the Brake charity and Direct Line found that three per cent admitted driving while on drugs over the past 12 months – the equivalent of 900,000 if replicated among the UK's 30 million motorists.
More than one in ten people surveyed said they had been a passenger in a car with someone they believed was under the influence of drugs, while 29 per cent admitted they may hesitate to intervene if a friend intended to drive while on drugs.
New drug drive laws to be introduced in March will make driving with more than trace amounts of drugs in your system a criminal offence for the first time.
Officers will be able to test drivers for cannabis and cocaine at the roadside, while tests other substances can be carried out at police stations.
Offenders will face a maximum six month jail term, £5,000 fine and automatic ban from driving for 12 months.
Julie Townsend, deputy chief executive of Brake, said: "Drug-driving is a menace that causes absolute devastation to families and communities, and ends too many lives too soon.
"We all need to stand up and fight to end it. Our message to everyone is never to underestimate the effects of illegal drugs on driving."
A Department for Transport spokesman said: "Drug-driving is a menace which devastates families and ruins lives. That is why the Government is proposing a zero-tolerance approach to those that drive under the influence of illegal drugs.
"The new law being introduced next year will make it easier for the police to tackle those who drive after taking illegal drugs or abuse medicinal drugs."

The War Over Raw Milk, A Battle Heats Up
July 21, 2010 by staff
The War Over Raw Milk, A Battle Heats Up, In the holy war on raw milk, the lives of our children are involved, or when the faithful of each side of the battlefield claims. And if you were the club to buy food Rawesome on June 30, when police officers in Los Angeles, officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Food and Drug Administration and at least one Canadian agency hit at the door, gun in hand, you may think the war was more literal than figurative. As a member Rawesome said: "Why do you need guns?" When the enemy is, as far as anyone can tell, millions of microbes too small for the human eye to see, and surely the ball to destroy the man.
The FDA has long banned the interstate sale of raw milk, and many states restrict or prohibit the sale of raw milk over. Raw milk drinkers and potential sellers, who had already purchased raw milk through legal loopholes began to organize in early 2010, filing a lawsuit against the FDA claiming that the ban on interstate sales is unconstitutional. The FDA said in late April, insisting that "the plaintiffs have no fundamental right to obtain the food they want." The case is currently pending while the crackdown continues.
The raw milk debate
The Raw Milk is milk that has not been heated to at least 145 degrees, hot enough to kill living beings present in the milk of all mammals. These enzymes and bacteria have been shown to strengthen the immune system, development of healthy bacteria in the intestines and reduce the chances of everything from respiratory disease to obesity. All that yogurt manufacturers say about "good" bacteria in yogurt is also true of raw milk.
Pasteurization, on the other hand, destroys both good and bad bacteria (eg E. coli), but with the homogenization (a process in which the fat globules in cream are broken to such a small size that 'they remain suspended evenly in the milk), milk can be transported over long distances and have a shelf life much longer. The widespread use of pasteurization and homogenization mean that dairies are no longer necessary to deal directly with consumers, as in the days after delivery in glass bottles of milk at home.
As the FDA sees the greatest benefit of pasteurization is the virtual elimination of the dangers of bacterial infections. It was a great source of concern in the late nineteenth century, the dairies have moved closer to the cities to provide food for the newly industrial and urban population. But neighborhoods concentrated cows and regime change has caused a disease start to spread. Pasteurization, scientists say, the sharp reduction of its spread.
The FDA officially banned the interstate sale of raw milk in 1987, but it was not until 2006 that the so-called "repression" began. Ministries of agriculture in several states, with the help of the FDA, began staging raids of small dairies and buying clubs that were "filled with agents undercover operations, Surprise raids, the results questionable test-lab, mysterious illnesses, propaganda blitz, and grand jury investigations, "wrote journalist David Gumpert, who followed the war of raw milk and wrote a book on the subject.
A movement takes shape
By the 1970s, advocates of healthy eating and the sick seeking remedies began to consume raw milk as a health-giving tonic. At that time, Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz (with Cookbook author Sally Fallon) came to the conclusion that the consumption of raw milk from cows that are raised for food of a ruminant – grass and clover, and not much much – and may well be the basic treaties of the most nutritious food possible – and a movement was born.
Vonderplanitz said he was "fighting against" the government's efforts against raw milk since 1977. He started an organization called the right to choose healthy foods, where he taught first Foodista how they can circumvent rules governing trade, and especially international trade, holding in private clubs and animals leasing. Cow tenants pay upfront and pay the boarding fees in progress "for the board, care and animal feed, and harvesting the product by trafficking. Vonderplanitz As seen, those who consume raw milk from the animal they are leasing are not subject to the jurisdiction of U.S. agricultural and trade ministries and the FDA, which in many States, restricted or prohibited even the sale of raw milk to consumers.
Vonderplanitz organization also manages the Rawesome Club in Venice, California, and has chapters throughout the U.S. and "few" in Canada. The private buying club, which sells only raw foods for which you must pay a membership fee and sign a waiver to join has been challenged once before. In 2005, an official of the Los Angeles County Department of Health came on the property. The officer examined the food and issued a summons to the organization because she had no driver's health, to have food without labels and other charges. (Vonderplanitz denies his need for a health permit because he said is not required Rawesome trade.)
Vonderplanitz wrote a letter to the Ministry of Health on County July 22, 2005 stating that the health worker was illegally trespassing, and notice of hearing to the day after the visit was "without legal basis" . He never heard of, "he said, until June 30, 2010.
Firearms and dairy products
Shortly after Rawesome opened June 30, nearly a dozen police officers in Los Angeles (with guns drawn), a senior investigator for the District Attorney's City, an environmental health specialist for LA Environmental Health Food and Dairy Food Inspection Program Office, an investigator for the FDA in the United States, District of Los Angeles, a security officer for the FDA Consumer Import Operations Branch Los Angeles District, and an investigator in the special surveillance for animal health state of California and Food Safety Services California Department of Food and Agriculture, and two other people without cards visits which were identified as, respectively, the FBI and the Canadian Department of Agriculture highly knocked on the door, members Rawesome say. The police searched the premises and seized 17 large coolers of milk and other dairy products.
The warrant claims that the property "was used as the means of committing a crime." The only items on the search warrant were dairy products. The same day, one farmer who supplies raw goat milk Rawesome members was also attacked by about 20 government officials. His computer was seized, his third computer, that is, two previous computers have been seized and never returned, in 2008 and 2009.
Besides the list of agencies, Sandi Gibbons, Public Information Officer Office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's, would say only that the case was initiated by the FDA in California, and it was "in part of a criminal investigation underway involving the state and local investigators. "
As dangerous as Romaine, pistachios and Sushi?
Even Bill Marler, a lawyer who made his name representing victims of foodborne illness, especially raw milk, recently wrote that the actions by the FDA did not make sense given the relatively small number outbreaks of illness from raw dairy products – less than 1% of foodborne outbreaks. Marler asked on his blog last month, "the raw milk is treated unfairly? Ministries of Health introduced the hammer down on raw milk, while giving a free passage to other dangerous products? "His answer was:" Yes. "
Occasionally, people get sick after drinking raw milk. But the number of people sickened by raw milk compared to other foods does not justify the FDA emphasized the costly campaign. Marler highlights five cases of spinach and romaine lettuce-related diseases in which, despite the sickening of about 200 people, there was no advertising or recalls initiated by the FDA. Yet, while some pages on the details of the FDA's website "The dangers of raw milk, it does not exist on the" dangers of spinach (or lettuce, tomatoes and green onions .)
No government regulation of interstate commerce in peanuts, kale, cantaloupe, or have been proposed, although many are still many people sickened by eating these foods. Sushi, raw food, which offers greater opportunity for diseases that raw milk is legal in 50 states, too. French restaurants everywhere serving steak tartare, a dish of raw ground beef, with nary so much as an appetizer plate before. However, the FDA is firm. And even if the former head of the FDA food safety David Acheson recommended removing the ban on interstate sales (for reasons that "motivated individuals" continue to buy raw milk, no matter what, increased risk of contamination), it appears that the agency will eventually have its day in court.

Poland confident Trump will fight Russian aggression as Corbyn aide bashes Nato action
POLAND'S Ministry of Defence has welcomed the 3,000 American troops and tanks arriving in the country today despite Jeremy Corbyn calling to "ratchet down" military tensions in Eastern Europe.
Tomasz Szatkowski, Poland's undersecretary of state for defence, spoke of "significant military build up" with thousands of Russian soldiers taking part in military exercises close to the Polish border.
Speaking on Radio 4's Today programme, he also said he believed Donald Trump would continue to support Nato allies in the region despite the President-elect entering "pragmatic negotiations" with Vladimir Putin.
The comments come after the Labour Party leader's spokesman said Mr Corbyn preferred "talks and engagement" as a means of combating tensions in the region.
Mr Corbyn's spokesman even reinterpreted Article 5 of the Nato treaty, saying: "Article 5 means that if there is an attack on another Nato state there has to be a response by Nato members – it doesn't define what that response should be.
Poland believes Donald Trump will not withdraw American troops from the country
We expect that nothing should actually change with regard to US defence policy towards its allies in the central and eastern flank
"In practice, if you see from the wording of the treaty, that can be a whole range of things."
But Mr Szatkowski said a boosted Nato presence was necessary with Russia "constantly increasing their defence budget".
"[We're seeing] overflights, deployments of nuclear-capable missiles towards our immediate neighbourhood," he said.
"Very large exercises – when I speak about the very large exercises I mean over 100,000 troops next to our border, very aggressive language and last but not least aggressive actions in our vicinity – I mean Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea."
Russian soldiers surrounding a Ukrainian military base in 2014
The Polish politician said he had seen "no clear evidence" America would pull out after Barack Obama leaves the White House.
He said: "We expect that nothing should actually change with regard to US defence policy towards its allies in the central and eastern flank. We see no clear evidence coming from the transition team right now that such policy would change.
"I was in [Washington] DC last week and actually I spoke to a number of individuals that were around the transition team with regards to security and defence and I think that the language and perception was actually quite realistic.
"So I expect that, while they might be willing to enter into some sort of pragmatic negotiations with Russia over different issues, at the same time they will be willing to deter any aggressive actions from that state towards US allies."

Sex, Militarism, and what Robert A. Heinlein saw.
Published by ScaryMonster in the blog Notes from the devils conga line.. Views: 253
When I was a kid, I read a lot of Robert A. Heinlein's stories, recently I reread one, and I had to overlook some things in order to enjoy it.
The thing that I found distasteful in his writing was that in one respect he had a very conservative ideology espoused by many of his characters, which often were older men.
That was not such a huge problem, the issue I had was his attitude to sexuality, which seemed somehow connected with the 60's free love ideology. It seemed to me that the only effect this ideology had in his writing was as a means to allow older men to screw young attractive women.
Now I'm not a prude, and even I can accept that some old but not over the hill dude's might enjoy having sex with young but not under age women.
But I find it hard to get into a book that makes statements like: "A beautiful woman is more likely to attract males and is biologically superior to an unattractive woman." That's not an exact quote because I'm doing it from memory. Maybe it's true in a perverse biological sense, but I felt it was more like a license to be an old pervert.
You could also argue that being a beautiful woman must mean by definition that you're more likely to attract males? Which is a good thing, especially if you happen to be one of those males?
Also, I suspect that by "biologically superior", he meant within the context of natural selection. Characters in ""I will fear no evil"(not he's best work), "Time enough for love" and "Number of the Beast," made this statement, in the context of explaining to a young woman why being attractive was a good thing.
Nevertheless, the term "biologically superior" has a lot of baggage connected to it, associated with the Nazis pseudo eugenics of the past.
Somehow, this mix of extreme right wing conservatism mixed with Bacchanalian hedonism didn't ring true to me, and it's a sample of an attitude that a lot of his work of the 1960s – 70s and 80s propounds.
In his science fiction stories, he has said that democracy is doomed to fail, and you would have to be a fool to believe in it anyway. Benevolent dictatorship is the only way to go, and it's okay to screw anything on legs as long as it's attractive. Or at lest, that's how it came across to me.
Now "Starship Troopers," was a good book and the movie version was just mad!
The insane fascism that Paul Verhoeven sends up so well in the movie is also seen in the book. Although in the book, I can't be too sure if Heinlein is really serious or not.
He claims that a world Military Government is a good idea?
It would be kind of, like saying that North Korea with all its nukes, but added spaceships and ray guns is the ideal form of world government. Or he almost does.
Moreover, Remember "Starship Troopers," was originally written for kids! So just saying: "Whoa Scary, its just a work of fiction!" Is a bit simplistic, kids don't make such distinctions or do they?
Substitute "Starship Troopers" for "Storm Troopers" maybe, or am I just trying to scare the straights? Good that's my job here.
Some people I've spoken to don't understand why people think that the government in "Starship Troopers" was a dictatorship, fascist, etc.
The characters supposedly live in a democracy where you have to do public service (which can be military, but doesn't have to be) to get a vote.
The rights of non-voters seem to be protected and respected (they just don't get to vote or run for office).
But, the problem with this as a model of a society is that value is placed on military virtues as well as military mindset and public service is represented by civil or social service.
Therefore, you have a militarised, bureaucratic society that disenfranchises anyone who might have a balancing influence on it.
As for Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" being fascist, I do not go, as far as to say that it was his personal belief. It is after all a work of fiction.
"Starship Troopers," the movie unashamedly implies it (sends it up), and the book claims that military or civil service is the only way of gaining the right to vote.
These are quotes from "Starship Troopers" the book, can you see any holes in the reasoning regarding this fictional system of government from Chapter 12.
""Both for practical reasons and for mathematically verifiable moral reasons, authority and responsibility must be equal -- else a balancing takes place as surely as current flows between points of unequal potential. To permit irresponsible authority is to sow disaster; to hold a man responsible for anything he does not control is to behave with blind idiocy.
The unlimited democracies were unstable because their citizens were not responsible for the fashion in which they exerted their sovereign authority ...other than through the tragic logic of history. The unique 'poll tax' that we must pay was unheard of. No attempt was made to determine whether, a voter was socially responsible to the extent of his literally unlimited authority. If he voted the impossible, the disastrous possible happened instead --and responsibility was, then forced on him willy-nilly and destroyed both him and his foundation-less temple."
"Superficially, our system is only slightly different; we have democracy unlimited by race, colour, creed, birth wealth, sex, or conviction, and anyone may win sovereign power by a usually short and not too arduous term of service -- nothing more than a light workout to our cave-man ancestors. But that slight difference is one between a system that works, since it is constructed in match the facts, and one that is inherently unstable.
Since sovereign franchise is the ultimate in human authority, we insure that all who wield it accept the ultimate in social responsibility -- we require each person who wishes to exert control over the state to wager his own life -- and lose it, if need be -- to save the life of the state. The maximum responsibility a human can thus accept is thus equated to the ultimate authority a human can exert. Yin and yang, perfect and equal.
The Major added. "Can anyone define why there has never been a revolution against our system? Despite the fact that every government in history has had such? Despite the notorious fact that complaints are loud and unceasing?"
One of the older cadets took a crack at it "Sir, revolution is impossible."
"Yes. But why?"
"Because revolution -- armed uprising--requires not only dissatisfaction but aggressiveness. A revolutionist has to be willing to fight and die -- or he is just a parlour pink. If you separate out the aggressive ones and make them the sheep dogs, the sheep will never give you trouble."
So, what do you think?
Also to his credit, Heinlein featured many different kinds of government in his books. "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress," was a total libertarian anarchy, which is about as far from a dictatorship as you can get.

The word breakfast comes from the concept of breaking your nightly fast. And what better way to do it with our healthy breakfast recipes! Our regular sleep is when our bodies naturally go the longest without any food or water. Taking the time to eat breakfast sends signals to your body that it is not entering a potential starvation mode. This biological concept is important to understand because this is how your body has been designed to react over thousands of years. When your body senses a famine or starvation period coming, it holds body fat, literally for preserving your dear life.
Field research with obese people has shown a common trend. Those who suffer from obesity are most likely to not include a regular breakfast in their diet. Not eating breakfast sends signals to your body to keep energy in the form of body fat. This makes losing weight very challenging and is almost a sure-fire method of gaining weight. Eating a healthy breakfast, from whole food ingredients, will help you lose weight and balance your blood sugar levels.

Last night I had a dream that involved waffles and coins.
At first I saw myself leaving this train or waiting for another train. It was the Muni train in San Francisco, which takes a long time to arrive at the station and pick you up. So I got fed up and decided to walk. It turns out I was walking all the way from San Francisco to my Dad's house.
During this it seemed I didn't mind doing all this walking. Besides, there were some parts when I did a little flying to get me by. Eventually I somehow managed to be in this group of people who also were walking instead of taking transportation. We were walking along the freeway and chatting as we went.
Eventually we all grew tired and stopped over at a rest area. I looked around us and saw several choices for dinner. A Chili's, TGIF's and other chain restaurants. When then I looked over across the street and saw this cute little diner. I said to everyone, "Hey, why don't we eat pancakes and waffles for dinner?" as I pointed in the direction of the diner. Everyone seemed perplexed at first but then they all got excited. I was getting excited too because it seemed it had been forever since I had a waffle (since I had been in Korea). So we headed over there.
But on the way I saw something shiny on the ground and picked it up. It was an American quarter. When I saw it in my hands it felt like something foreign, but then I realized that it was a quarter. Then I felt a sense of panic because all I had in my wallet was my Korean money, I hadn't exchanged it yet. So I frantically asked my friends around me if they had any American money, which they had of course.
The dream stammered out as we entered the diner and I saw that the customers were made to wear aprons and chef hats. I was confused of course over this custom and so the dream faded with me trying to understand having to where a red apron and white chef hat, while at the same time looking at a plate of waffles with syrup.

Waffle Dream
2 comments:
Well you do wear aprons in Korea sometimes...ReplyDelete
After a few months in Korea, I started having dreams that were half in Korean. The odd thing was, I was speaking Korean and my studio mates were responding in English.
I miss those dreams, actually.
Joy, are you studying Korean?
Haven't taken the time seriously to study it but I can read it and I do listen well.ReplyDelete

The Municipal Act, 2001 permits Council to appoint an Integrity Commissioner who performs specified functions regarding the application of the Council Code of Conduct (the Code) in the Municipality of South Dundas
Council has appointed Robert J. Swayze as its Integrity Commissioner.
All elected officials (the Mayor and Councillors) are subject to the Code.
The role of the Integrity Commissioner is to:
How does the Integrity Commissioner get involved?
What is the extent of the Integrity Commissioner's Authority?
Who can file a complaint?
What is the process for filing a complaint?
How is the complaint investigated?
Does the Integrity Commissioner investigate complaints about Municipal employees?
Can an anonymous complaint be filed?
How is the public informed of the Commissioner's activity?
How does the Integrity Commissioner get involved?
Members of Council can ask the Integrity Commissioner for advice. Generally, this is to ensure that members of Council have availablility a resource to assist them in determining how to comply with the requirements of the Code. Council, any member of the Council or members of the public can request the Integrity Commissioner to launch an investigation into an alleged contravention of the Code by an individual member or members.
What is the extent of the Integrity Commissioner's Authority?
The Code sets out the scope of the Integrity Commissioner's authority and describes several types of complaints that would be covered by existing legislation and therefore not subject to the Integrity Commissioner's mandate. The first step in the process will involve the Integrity Commissioner determining whether the complaint falls within his mandate.
For example, an allegation that may involve a contravention of the Criminal Code of Canada is a police matter, and would not be investigated by the Integrity Commissioner. A complaint of alleged conflict of interest involving a contravention of the Criminal Code of Canada is a police matter, and would not be investigated by the Integrity Commissioner.
Likewise, the Integrity Commissioner would not consider a complaint of a alleged conflict of interest involving a member of Council because a process is provided under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. The Integrity Commissioner, in conducting his inquiry and investigation, has the power to review all pertinent Town files and records that have a bearing on the allegation, and access to anyone who is relevant to the complaint. On completion of his inquiry and investigation, the Commissioner will submit a final report to Council outlining his findings, the terms of any settlement of the complaint, recommended corrective action and/or penalty imposed.
Members of the public as well as members of Council can file a complaint under the Code.
What is the process for filing a complaint?
Members of the public and Council can file a complaint by following the Code and completing a Complaint Review Request Form. The complaint is filed with the Clerk together with the applicable fee. The Clerk will formally forward the complaint to the Integrity Commissioner and advise Council of the complaint through submission of an open report to Council which outlines the following:
The fee payable will be refunded except where the Integrity Commissioner determines the following:
How is the complaint investigated?
The elected official is given a copy of the complaint and asked to respond in writing to the complaint, with a copy of the response being provided to the complainant. The process may include an interview with anyone considered relevant to the complaint by the Integrity Commissioner. Within ninety (90) days of filing the complaint, the Integrity Commissioner submits a report to Council, detailing any contravention of the Code and any recommendations, corrective action and/or penalty.
Does the Integrity Commissioner investigate complaints about Municipal employees?
The Integrity Commissioner does not have any authority over Municipal employees. The activities of the Integrity Commissioner relate only to members of Council and their compliance with the Council Code of Conduct.
Can an anonymous complaint be filed?
The Code of Conduct forbids any anonymous complaint and the anonymous complaint will not be accepted.
How is the public informed of the Commissioner's activity?
The Integrity Commissioner is required to submit an annual report on complaints filed. These reports may be obtained by contacting the Clerk at 613-543-2673.

text: I know that there does not currently exist a path which would allow one to walk from AKL to AK. However, does anyone know if such a path was ever envisioned or, better yet, could be put in place in the future? It's hard to judge how far it really is from AKL to AK, but it would be cool if there was such a path, even if the walk took 15 - 20 minutes (for example, I love the walking path from MGM to the Epcot Resorts, even though it is definitely not a short little jaunt).

Brooklyn data artist Josh Begley's new work offers some context in a time where every bit of news might feel historic.
Every NYT front page since 1852 shows the front page of the New York Times through history. With five rows of nine newspapers, viewers travel at high velocity through the last 150 years of America's news. The viewer starts at the beginning of the 55-second video, when the paper is all text, and advances through the first pictures, then larger black-and-white photos and finally today's predominantly photo-oriented front pages.
What's striking about the piece is that it captures the inevitability of change, with what must have been huge news items flashing perpetually across the screen, framed by the constancy of institutions, as much as the world morphs and evolves across the page, the masthead up top remains unbroken.
Begley is talented. His past works include Archives + Absences, an app that sends you a push notification with the name of every person killed by police, and Best of Luck with the Wall, a video showing the length and terrain of the U.S.-Mexico border.

They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We were staying a week so they brought a microwave and mini fridge up to our room. Front desk staff switched our room when they saw my wife was pregnant. They knew she would be in the room a lot while I was gone so they put us in a room that had a balcony overlooking the lake for her. Nice!

Release Notes: This version added TCP support and a proper test framework, which still needs documenting. Many outstanding bugs and integration issues were resolved.
Release Notes: The CDR logging was rewritten to reflect the standards and other implementations. This may have created some new bugs. Some "reliability" was added to the sending of CGF-initiated messages, although there are no consequences to non-response yet. Backoff is exponential (a la TCP).
Release Notes: The incorrectly incremented version number, 0.81, should not have existed. It has been removed and replaced with this (identical) release.
Release Notes: Formatting of CDF and CGF addresses was fixed. A logfile option was added, which is useful when running as a daemon. A problem with "duplicates" due to open-cgf not responding instantaneously to messages remains.
Release Notes: Made many configuration enhancements were made to improve the out-of-the-box experience. All configuration items are now in an independent configuration file (in $BASEDIR/etc). All configuration items are now logged when read, and those that can have default values. More descriptions of values were added in the open-cgf.config file. A bug in which the cdr_post_close_command did not work 90% of the time was fixed.
Release Notes: Limited integration testing has been performed with a GGSN, more is desirable.

Richard Schaffer, Suffolk Democratic chief, talks to lawmakers
Suffolk Democratic Chairman Richard Schaffer said he met with the county legislature's Democratic caucus Monday to reassure them the current strains in his relationship with County Executive Steve Bellone will not impact them in any way, and that he intends to tone down the rhetoric going forward.
"I wanted to talk to them about some of the things going on in the press," Schaffer said. "And I wanted to reassure them that I have my eye on the ball for next year, for their election, and I will continue to work toward that goal."
Schaffer and Bellone traded barbs about the issue of public corruption following Bellone's State of the County address in March and the conviction of former Suffolk Police Chief of Department James Burke. Burke pleaded guilty in February to violating the civil rights of a Smithtown man and then orchestrating a departmental cover-up of the crime.

The Revolutionary Communist Party, USA (RCP, USA) or RevCom is a political party in the United States. Bob Avakian, the Chairman of the RCP, USA, has led the party since its founding in 1975. Avakian's body of work is taken by the RCP as its ideological and political foundation and framework.
The organization releases a weekly newspaper Revolution (formerly called Revolutionary Worker, 1979–2005) which is published in English and Spanish, and has been published continuously since 1979.
This section needs additional citations for verification. (October 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Bob Avakian was one of many activists who in the 1960s turned to communist ideas and began organizing in the Bay Area of California. H. Bruce Franklin, Stephen Charles Hamilton,[2] and Bob Avakian together formed the Bay Area Revolutionary Union (BARU), which was subsequently able to absorb a series of similar local collectives which had developed out of Students for a Democratic Society. The new nationwide structure allowed BARU to change its name to simply the Revolutionary Union.
The RCP claims that of the various groups coming out of SDS, it was the first to seriously attempt to develop itself both at the theoretical level, with the publication of "Red Papers 1".[3] This turn to 1970s "point of production" organizing was a broader phenomenon which was expanded throughout the Midwest and into the Appalachian coal fields during the wildcat upsurges[4][unreliable source?] through 1980[original research?].
Such rapid expansion was not without its problems, however, and in 1971 H. Bruce and Jane Franklin led a section of the RU to fuse with the Venceremos Organization, advocating immediate urban guerrilla warfare and then dissolving shortly thereafter.
Tensions over this "workerist" tendency came to a head within the RCP in 1977 around whether China remained a communist country after the death of Mao Zedong and subsequent leadership struggles in the People's Republic of China between the Gang of Four and Hua Guofeng. Bob Avakian declared that there had been a coup in China following Mao's death and the new Chinese leadership was taking China on a capitalist road. The RCP's Vice Chairman, Mickey Jarvis, along with an estimated 30–40% of the membership and most of the Revolutionary Student Brigade formally left the RCP to form the Revolutionary Workers Headquarters (RWHq).[citation needed]
In late 2005 and early 2006 the RCP launched the Revolutionary Communist Speaking Tour (RC4) of black leaders intended to "build a Communist movement among the people locked on the bottom of society in the current era of Bushite Christian-Fascism." The RC4 tour ended quietly with the disassociation of one of the lead speakers, Akil Bomani. Bomani claimed that the RCP had attempted to reach out the African American community through this speaking tour. However, there were low turnout rates with most of the audience not African American. Bomani stated that it was difficult to convince the audiences of the necessity of Avakian's leadership to audiences who most likely had never heard of him. Bomani said, "The problem was that this tour was too much structured as Avakian's cult of personality gateway into the black community. As a result, RC4 members were made out to be black representatives of Avakian and his party. This approach basically was saying two things: 1) "it's ok to follow this man because we're black like you and we do" and 2) Avakian needs certified blacks to talk to other blacks to get them to accept his cult of personality."[5]
The RCP has said that there are two mainstays of its work: the role of the party press and building a culture of "appreciation, promotion and popularization" of Bob Avakian and his body of work, method, and approach, "along with a whole ensemble of Communist work which is necessary to the bringing forward of a revolutionary people—including building "massive political resistance to the main ways in which, at any given time, the exploitative and oppressive nature of this system is concentrated in the policies and actions of the ruling class and its institutions and agencies" and solving the problems of how to involve the masses in "meaningful revolutionary work"".[6] Others have charged that the RCP has created a cult of personality around Avakian, with dissenting voices driven from the organization. The RCP has countered that over the period of the 1980s and 1990s two parties developed within the organization, representing two fundamentally opposed roads. One, represented by the "official" line of the Party and concentrated in the new synthesis Bob Avakian was championing, and expressed in the Party's newspaper (the Revolutionary Worker, now Revolution). The other, opposed the new synthesis and revolutionary-communist line, was becoming predominant on all levels of the Party, and "objectively, [this] amounted to abandoning the outlook and aims of the communist revolution, accommodating to the system of imperialism and settling for, at most, reforms within this horrific system."[7]

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'D.I.Y.' started by gung, May 18, 2016.
What's the pros and cons? If anyone has had one anything you would do different?
I will also be interested to hear any ideas.
I know one guy with one, and he had three comments. One - use the right trusses to that you get to use all that overhead. Two - windows are critical, and the fitting can be a real issue. Last, he said to make sure you had your layout figured before the slab was poured so that the plumbing and piping was right. Retrofitting (from his experience) involves breaking and repouring concrete
I helped a friend of mine with his.. He has a 2000sq ft that he got into for $40,000. Granted he had lots of help. Had a family member who's a skilled carpenter. I think that price included his pay though. He went middle of the road on most stuff. Laminate flooring instead of hardwood, linoleum instead of tile. Mid grade cabinets an countertop.. Point is his house is paid for an mine isn't.
We have several in our county that have been here for 25 years or longer. Their looking fine.. Not sure about a direct tornado hit but a stick built can't take that either.
Just like a slab home with talking plumbing like they mentioned up in the thread. Walls are studded so everything else is the same. Cost per sq ft goes way down. Wish I built one instead of my brick home!!!
Find a standard floor plan you like and go from there.
I'm getting ready to start one at Nolin lake. 50x100 -50x60 living 50x40 garage/shop. Have the floor plan. Will try to pose details as I go.
If I could figure out how to post pics without using something like photo bucket I'd post pics of house plan I created
I'm thinking of doing this myself. I'd be interested in seeing you guys progress and process, too.
I was thinking about building a pole barn house but my KY Farm Bureau said they would not insure a pole barn home, a double wide mobile home or a modular home. (Hawesville KY Farm Bureau).
Carl, I also have Ky Farm Bureau Homeowners Insurance, but I am changing to State Farm as Kentucky Farm Bureau raised our premium $800 this year. Got a better deal with State Farm on their Home/Auto Insurance. Don't know if State Farm will insure a pole barn home, but it would be worth looking into.
Thanks for the tip. I just received something in the mail about my earthquake coverage increasing in price but they didn't say how much. Do you have earthquake coverage?
No, but you can add it but it will cost extra. I don't believe my part of Central Kentucky will have a destructive Earthquake anyway. Not had any since living here 9-years. If you live in Western Kentucky or even in S.W. Indiana then I'd spend the extra money for coverage, as they are more likely to have one.

The place to get answers to zwave and products
"Have been shopping around for zwave devices and how to use the products. They were extremely helpful and priced similar to others out there. They take the time to support what they sell. Be patient though. I found they are a growing company and taking time to respond but usually within a day or 2 "
"The selection at ZWave products is excellent and great pricing, take a look at the Aeon Labs energy meter and appliance switch. I looked at a few of the other on line retailers and they had the best prices for the Aeon Labs, Remotec devices I was looking for. They also have DragonTech a new product line with the new 500 series Z-Wave ASIC and a new LED bulb called Domitech that has the 500 series. All the products I ordered arrived on time. They seem to have fixed whatever issues some of the other reviewers have mentioned. I would buy from them again. "
"Order said it would ship in 24-72 hours. 3 weeks later I am still sitting here with no answers and they refuse to answer their phones. I finally send an email asking what was going on they didn't bother responding just cancelled my order. 3 weeks down the drain. Avoid dealing with this incompetent company."
"I ordered a remote and a dimmer switch from ZWave Products. They sent only the remote. It was used and was missing parts. I returned it (I paid shipping) for a refund.
They NEVER shipped the Aeon Dimmer and never respond to my requests for a refund.
I gave them approximately $80 and received nothing."
"I placed an order on December 30, 2013 and took delivery on January 6, 2014. Seven days in all. Product was as-expected and works great.
I rated their cost as Moderate as I find they are competitive with other sources. I did however get a GREAT deal on my order as they ran a special and free shipping."
"Stay as far AWAY from this company as you can!!!
They are a total SCAM. I ordered the vera3 with the Schlage lock bundle, a Vestcam HD camera and a wireless light switch. They sent me a different lock altogether and I have not received the HD camera almost 1 month now. No one returns email complaints or gives any information about the status of your order. This must be a one man operation.
I returned the bundle and I'm disputing with my credit card company for credit on both Items and the return postage that I spent. Do yourself a favor GO TO ANOTHER WEB THAT SELLS Z-WAVE COMPONENTS!!!!"
"I bought a vera light bundle plus Aeon smart switch bundle. The purchase had free shipping which usually means slower shipping method, it took 3 days for the shipment to provide tracking number, but once it shipped it arrived shortly after with all the items I ordered. The bundle prices were the lowest from anywhere else. I'm glad my experience was positive, despite previous reviews. Maybe zwaveproducts.com is under new mgmt in late 2013."
"I bought a veralite bundle before reading the reviews of this site. I almost regretted the decision after 4 days of not getting a shipping confirmation, but 2 hours later, the mailman drops off a box.
Everything was in the box so I wanted to give this place a good rating to balance out some of the bad ones.
I'll update this if, for some reason, the devices don't work.
Also: It was shipped from NJ and I live in IL."
"Rating removed ."
"This company is a total fraud. I didn't even order directly from them I ordered the zwave products from Tiger Direct a very big online electronics retailer. It turns out that Zwave products is the actual fulfillment center for the order. Needless to say, the order arrived missing 4 items and the items that did come were not the ones ordered to begin with. Terrible experience overall, and beware, they are now selling their services through larger and more reputable online centers like amazon and tigerdirect...nevertheless, the poor reputation continues."
"I should have listened to the rest of the reviews here. Zwaveproducts.com is a SCAM. I was originally enticed with the free light module...what a sucker. They took me for over $300. Just try to call them for any reason BEFORE you purchase. If they won't answer the phone before the sale imagine what it will be like AFTER they steal your money. Can't believe they're still in business. Oh by the way, I returned my non-working merchandise just like I was told...after months of emails, credit card disputes, etc...no refund, no apology, no resolution. They stole my money and they will steal yours too. Do not do business with them, please. "
"Worst company ever. They don't send you what you ordered and then there is no customer service. They are a scam."
"Run as fast as you can from that Website. Shady company all the way around. There are other ways to get zwave products locally and via the web. The reason this stuff is hard to get is because its meant to be purchased through an integrator and not direct. Based on the few times they have answered the phone, Im pretty positive this website is run out of a home by some guy wearing sweatpants."
"As bad as the rest. Should have red the review before"

Microsoft to retire Windows Live Messenger in favour of Skype
Andy Ruffell / 5 years ago
I'm a heavy user of both Windows Live Messenger and Skype and have been for many years, using it as an outlet for both personal and business related matters, even going back so far to when Windows Live Messenger was called MSN, but now it seems Microsoft are willing to lock Windows Live Messenger away and focus their efforts onto Skype instead.
There are no definite dates as of yet, but it seems Microsoft will be retiring Windows Live Messenger within the next couple of months and will somehow integrate it in with Skype instead, making it the most powerful IM software on the planet.
The change has already started with Microsoft moving users over to the Skype platform, through use of the Windows Live Messenger backend and around 80% of Skype messages are now being processed through the Messenger backend.
Sources say that an official statement from Microsoft could come as early as next week confirming this news and as we know with Skype 6.0, you already have the option to login with your Facebook or Microsoft credentials.

In Alice McDermott's Charming Billy, the narrator's father Dennis Lynch shows what might be Helper patterns — at best unconditionally loving, at worst compelled to help in order to feel needed. But McDermott provides only enough of the father's history and inner dialogue to let us make an educated guess.
The narrator describes her father standing beside Billy's widow Maeve after the family dinner following Billy's funeral:
[He] would pay the bill and distribute the tips and take Maeve's arm when she walked out to the limousine. . . He would promise to stop in to see her later in the evening, just to make sure she was all right. He would shake hands with everyone, thanking them for coming, agreeing it was unbelievable. . .
Although Dennis was Billy's lifelong friend who helped Maeve deal with Billy's fatal drinking, his motivation for doing all this isn't clear. His behavior seems to reflect the Helper's instinctive responsiveness to others' needs. He was always cleaning up after Billy, whose excuse for drinking was the death of his Irish love, Eve.
Only Dennis knew Eve had not died. She'd jilted Billy and married her boyfriend in Ireland. Instead of this harsh truth, Dennis believed lying to Billy would "preserve his innocence":
The rest of the family would have to hear about it, and Billy would have to endure for some months, maybe years, both their sympathy and their studied silence whenever the subject of love and marriage arose . . . better he be brokenhearted than trailed all the rest of his life by a sense of his own foolishness.
Dennis' unilateral decision to protect Billy is a clue to the down side of the Helper personality, a form of manipulation that fosters dependency in others.
At the extreme end of this aggressive style of helping is Annie Wilkes in Stephen King's Misery. The book's other main character, novelist Paul Sheldon, awakens from a drug-induced sleep to realize his legs are mangled but he's not in a hospital. Instead he's immobilized, a prisoner of Annie, a former nurse and — she repeatedly assures him — his number one fan. Already ominous, the plot takes a darker turn when Annie finishes reading Paul's most recent novel and learns he's killed off a character she loves. Who can forget Kathy Bates as Annie in the movie version?
In her memoir Sleeping with Cats, Marge Piercy describes taking care of others much of her life. She even financially supported her second husband and two others in a ménage à quatre, and bemoans how people have abandoned her when she's needed them. Notice her emotional responsiveness in this passage about adopting two cats after her Siamese died:
[She and her third husband, Ira Wood] found heaps of Burmese . . . in piles of rich dark brown fur cuddling one another, except for two exiles: two big sable cats. . . . Woody named the male Jim Beam, and I named the female Colette. . . . Jim Beam was immediately interested and friendly, but Colette hid under a chair. . . . I captured her, held her and licked her like a mother cat. She was astonished and began to purr. From then on, except when she was angry with me, she was my cat. She fell in love that night. It was hardly sanitary, but it conveyed affection and trust in a language she understood.
Licking a kitten, the way a mother cat would, is a fascinating Helper metaphor. Piercy's examples of her motives and behavior also show how character can be deepened in memoir as well as fiction.
When Helpers become overly flattering and people-pleasing, they lose sight of their own needs. We see this quality in Judith Searle's (The Literary Enneagram) description of Mrs. Ramsey, in To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf:
In Scotland for the summer with her family and assorted house guests . . . feeding them, making them feel valued, and using her superb social skills to encourage appropriate romantic matches . . . Mrs. Ramsay's empathy is evident . . . she pushes aside her own feelings, especially her impatience with her husband.We're certain of Annie Wilkes as an exemplar of the Helper style, because its most unhealthy aspects are so clear. Marge Piercy's memoir suggests she shares this personality but is much more self-aware. In Mrs. Ramsey we find the Helper's strengths and blind spots in balance.
In Charming Billy, however, though we see Dennis Lynch as the big brother everyone can depend on, we aren't shown enough inner dialogue or signs of motivation to be certain. We only have a hint of this style's inner conflict. If Dennis were more central and/or the author had wanted to divulge more about his psychological nature, why would that matter? Because readers connect with a character when they recognize some common ground, and this is made possible only when writers share their own dark emotions. The best-drawn characters are compelling. They create emotional resonance, a sock in the gut. We like or dislike, love or hate them.
By comparing Mrs. Ramsey to Marge Piercy and to Annie Wilkes, you can see how a novel or memoir could even include more than one character with the same personality, each played out in a vastly different way. These personality tips will be most useful after your characters emerge in your mind and on the printed page. It's our goal as writers to create recognizable personalities — known to the reader without allowing them to become stereotypical – distinguishable from one another by unique history, behavior, and voice.
(Two more good example of this personality are Leo King in Pat Conroy's South of Broad and Nora Eldridge in Claire Messud's The Woman Upstairs)

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourself' started by imranshks, Feb 15, 2013.
hi.welcome new buddy
Congratulations! One question though. I was of the impression that 90HP model has been discontinued in favor of Punto Sports model (which is also 90HP, albeit with a sticker job, chrome touches etc.). I bought my Punto 76HP Emotion sometime in Nov 2012 and I opt for it because the dealers had me convinced that normal 90HP Punto has been discontinued in favor of sports model. Was I misinformed?
PS: I notice that you have black side mirrors, but no stickers on sides. You had me all confused
You have been completely misinformed buddy.
90 hp sports was a limited edition model, but 90 hp is a model to stay which again started selling after the sports was discontinued. .

Thank you for the clarification. I'm probably the most depressed human being in this forum today :firey. Coming to think of it, I wonder why I didn't explore the matter further back then :A. May be I was a bit too excited. I love my Punto, it's the best hatch I've ever driven. Period. But 90HP would have been more suited to my use case, which consist mostly of long highway drives. That engine grunt after 120-130kmph is pretty annoying
The engine will becime smoother after few thousand kms..the engine for 75 hp feels strained only above 140kmph..
Si dont worry and enjoy your ride to the fullest buddy

Hey congrats on the new car. It is a great coincidence. I have also booked the same car and the same color. Am taking the delivery tomorrow. I am really happy for you.
I would suggest you to go through the team-bhp link on using turbo-charged cars and the article on run-in period, if you have not already seen them.
All the best.

Updated June 24, 2017.
This vintage Candy Cane Cookies Recipe (gluten-free) is a well-loved Christmas classic passed down through the generations. It is still one of the most requested holiday cookie recipes in the United States and remains a childhood favorite.
Through time, cooks have put their personal stamp on this Candy Cane Cookie, creating their own family holiday tradition.
Some families top their candy cane cookies hot from the oven with white cookie icing before sprinkling on the peppermint candy sugar mixture. Others finish off cooled cookies with a peppermint glaze (see recipe below). I know a family who dusts their Candy Cane Cookies with powdered sugar just before serving them. I've seen these cookies garnished with drizzled chocolate and then sprinkled with peppermint candy sugar, very festive!
For those who prefer a stronger minty flavor, replace all extracts with a gluten-free peppermint extract, or stir crushed peppermint candies into the dough before dividing and adding food coloring.
Instead of making candy canes, color one half of the dough with green food coloring, twist dough into ropes and circle the dough to make Christmas Wreath cookies.
To make this Candy Cane Cookie recipe corn-free, use cornstarch-free powdered sugar, plain table salt and corn syrup free candy canes to make the peppermint candy sugar.
For a special treat, serve Candy Cane Cookies over the edge of a steaming mug of hot cocoa topped with whipped cream, garnished with crushed peppermint candy sugar.
Time: about 2 hours
Servings: 48 cookies
