My situation is a little strange in that I didn't believe in God even as a kid, and not understanding that it was a big deal, I was perfectly happy telling everyone I knew that God was made up. Only much later did I find out that my parents took a lot of criticism from the rest of the family about how they were raising me. I was completely sheltered from that.
My "coming out" has been less about people finding out that I'm an atheist, and more about people finding out that I'm a serious, argumentative atheist. As Douglas Adams said, "I am a radical atheist." This has been a gradual process, in that I do my best to not start arguments, but am more than willing to jump in if someone else brings the topic up.
As my radical atheism has gradually become more known, I have also learned more about the religious leanings of those around me, and found two things that I didn't honestly expect:
First, that there are a LOT of extremely ignorant Christians. There was a time in which I thought that the ridiculously bad Youtube Christian arguments were a small, tiny fraction of what most Christians believe. I honestly thought that the argument "if people came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" was a joke made by atheists to make fun of Christians. It's not. There are a large number of people who seriously think that is a killer argument.
Second, that there are quite a few atheists (or agnostics, or whatever) out there. You might be surprised how many people are just like you and also haven't spoken up. I've met similarly-minded people at work, in school, in my family, you name it. Just about a month ago I found out my cousin was an atheist, which completely surprised me since her father is an evangelical minister.
This felt very familiar to me. My parents raised us without religion, nor positive nor negative input. It was a religion-free house, simply. But I come from a previous generation where schooling was still managed by the church, and so I was exposed to Catholicism and its catechism in school. It always annoyed me, I was a precocious kid, and an argumentative one. But oddly enough, religions and faith had such a lack of rational foundation, that I could not even imagine there was anything to argue about, which made me appear quiet about religion, when in fact I just thought it was so stupid, it was simply not worth wasting any brain time on, and I was a brainy kid too. By age 13-14, my political self started to develop, and I started being more and more annoyed by my religious classes, so I took legal action against the school (with my parents) to be exempt from religious classes on the basis I was atheistic... so I became a radical atheist at 14. My fight against the school system was a tough one, I was THE ONLY atheist in my small village. There was a protestant girl who was exempt from religious (catholic) classes, but declaring oneself atheist did not even register on these people's radar, they could not understand someone who lived entirely in reality, vs imaginary (I don't remember any belief in childhood imaginary beings either). So in the end, I finally won my exemption for the last two years of highschool, which was replaced by self-directed morality classes, which I was supposed to spend time at the library for... ha ha ha. :)
But after that, the mere thought of faith/religion completely fell away my frontal lobe for the next two decades. Oh there was the occasional conversation where I'd cautiously state I had no beliefs, whatsoever, but I always pitied the people I had to state that to, and society coerced me into dishonest "respect for diversity". What's the point of showing false respect, I really never got that.
My desire to live in reality only became an issue again when I lived several years in Florida, and all my friends attended church on a semi regular basis. These were fun friends, who partook in life's decadence to the fullest, but our Sundays were my time away from them. I eventually came to be really annoyed by the constant duality in their lives regarding their failure to live up to their own self proclaimed morals.
After a couple of years of this, the atheist in me was getting more and more annoyed, which is when I found Florida Atheists and for the first time in my life felt the complete and utter joy of being able to converse with people without being forced into dishonest false respect. Oh what a joy those Tuesday evenings were.
Since then, I've moved back North, and I now wear my reality driven world on my sleeve in almost all circumstances. I exclude job hunting from this, since it impacts my earning potential, but otherwise I'm pretty open.
In Canada, our polls on religion study 'religious affiliation' and not faith per se (as opposed to USA polls which study faith), which gives atheist organisations an erroneous perspective of atheists in Canada. A majority of these Canadians who don't attend church or don't consider themselves religious actually do have faith, they are believers, they just aren't actively religious... but that religious value system underlies everything they do socially.
It's weird how my home was exempt from beliefs, and my teen years oosed political atheist, yet I spent two decades as an apatheist. I'm glad to be back to real honest self again.
If somebody asks me I don't have a problem with telling them, but even though alot of my friends are religious, somehow religion never seems to come up in conversation and I don't usually bring it up myself unless they say something really blatantly ignorant or false that I just can't let go. I don't discuss being atheist a whole lot, but I'm not trying to hide it either, so anyone who doesn't already know probably suspects or assumes. There aren't many theists who subscribe to the FFRF newsletter and put FSM decals on their cars.
Quite a few people relate that studying the Bible is exactly what brought them to atheism.
I recommend to people the website Skeptic's Annotated Bible http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/
It's dedicated to highlighting the absurdities, atrocities, immoralities, and contradictions -- as well as some moral "good stuff" -- in the KJV Bible text. (They also have Skeptic's Annotated Quran and Skeptic's Annotated Book of Mormon.)
One of their rotating quotes about the Bible:
It is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies. -- Mark Twain, Letters from the Earth
Every Atheist should read the bible. It is full of ammunition against itself.
Terry, you are my man. In fact if every religionist read the bible without his mind already made up,( praying to God to help him understand) then we'll all be atheists. Now how do you get this through to Moslem's? They are just as important and need desperately to break through.
I've always said that, "There's nothing in the bible that I can't learn form Aseop."
Plus, no rape!

It wasn't a good night for the Man High School girls' basketball team on Monday night at Westside as the Class A Lady Billes were pounded 72-34 by the defending 2A state champion Lady Renegades.
Man senior Summer Sword, however, had a special night.
Sword led Man with 17 points and broke over 1,000 points for her career. She reached the plateau after nailing a 3-pointer — one of three she made on the evening.
Man dropped to 2-2 on the season with the loss.
The Lady Billies trailed 20-9 after one quarter, 42-15 at the half and 63-19 after three after being outscored 21-4 in the third stanza. Man outpointed Westside 15-9 in the fourth.
Taylor Whited tallied seven points for Man. Morgan Conn and Mika McCoy netted four points apiece. Tiffany Belcher had two.
Hope Lester and Faith Davis led Westside with 17 points each. Megan Endicott had 12 on the night.
Man was only 11-for-21 from the free throw line. The Lady Renegades hit on 16-of-25.
The Lady Billies are scheduled to return to the hardwood on Thursday at Greater Beckley Christian in a 7 p.m. contest. Man then plays one more time over Christmas break — a Dec. 28 home game against Wahama. Tip off for that one is 5 p.m.

Blues' goalie Jaroslav Halak has still not recovered from his high ankle sprain that happened three months ago. I have a hunch that the nagging injuries that will stem from favoring this leg will have him in and out of the lineup a lot in the first half. I would be steering clear of the St. Louis goalie situation even without this added twist – but now there's no way I'd touch it. I would normally prefer Halak over Brian Elliott but at this point, I have to change that opinion. I know it's still only July and he's "on track for a return", but if Elliott gets to start the season because Halak is still nursing one injury or another, he won't give up the throne. Ottawa has signed a No.4 goalie. Nathan Lawson is locked in for next season to backup Robin Lehner. Dwight King signed an extension with the Kings for two years. He had a fantastic postseason, notching five goals and eight points. But potentially he's a third-line hustler who subs in on a scoring line occasionally. I would expect mid to high 30s this year, with perhaps 40 PIM. He should be a Top 6 player on the team in hits though (130 range). Sharks signed minor leaguer and occasional NHL guest star Jonathan Matsumoto last week. He's a very underrated checker who hadn't been used properly by either Florida or Carolina. Just a victim of the numbers game. He reminds me of Tim Brent. Here are the Top 10 players over 35, according to Eric Roberts at The Hockey Writers. Myself, I would shift Chara to No.1. In fact, if I just use his 10 players, this is how I would do it: 1. Chara 2. St. Louis 3. Selanne 4. Kiprusoff 5. Jagr 6. Elias 7. Whitney 8. Doan 9. Brodeur 10. Alfredsson Only other player I would consider here is Dan Boyle. Otherwise, he picked a good 10 – just not in an order I would have gone with. Other 35 and older players include Hejduk, Smyth, Prospal, Timonen, Gonchar, Koivu, Sullivan, Bertuzzi, Jovanovski, Sykora, Arnott and Souray. Over at The Hockey News I continued with my offseason reports. Yesterday I posted my fantasy reports on the New York Islanders and the New Jersey Devils. Regarding the CBA and defining (or re-defining) hockey-related revenue – isn't that something that could have been discussed and negotiated back in March? Get that solved and out of the way prior to July and then focus on the dirtier details of the CBA. Or would that make too much sense? Hockey Wilderness is trying to come up with a name for the legion of followers of the rumor mongers. You know, the people who follow Eklund (over 130,000 Twitter followers), NHLInsiderrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (or how ever many r's he stuck on), NHLSourcesSay, etc. I'll be interested in seeing the name voted in. Whenever the topic comes up in conversation or in the forum, I get the feeling that the people who follow one of these accounts are a little embarrassed. They feel the need to explain why they follow. The No.1 reason? "For a laugh". Well, I can help you there. I've never followed any of the three above accounts, but I have followed Conan O'Brien, Norm McDonald, or even Burnsy, our old pal Chris Burns. I follow them, I get my laugh. I don't need rumors for a laugh. While Eklund I don't mind. I think he's a pioneer in the field. He was the first. And right or wrong, he's marketed it well and I don't fault what he does. He can do his thing and I can do mine. I've been to his website four times in my life, once was to see a piece that he used from DobberHockey, and the other times were just via links in the forum. I don't need to see rumors. Zero desire. Like a bunch of chicks gossiping if you ask me. Those other two guys - Sources Say and that other one with the extra r's? Just a guy on the couch eating cheesies in his boxers. Yep. He could be living next door to you for all you know. Theo Peckham signed a one-year deal with the Oilers worth about a million bones. He lost his PIM crown last season and concussion issues cost him much of the second half. The PIM will always be there for him, but so will the injuries. Ondrej Pavelec was apparently in a car crash in May while driving under the influence. His license was suspended and nobody was injured in the crash. Note to Winnipeg players – if you go to a party with Pavelec and Byfuglien, you're probably going to be the DD. The Habs signed Blake Geoffrion to a one-year, two-way deal. As I noted in a recent ramblings, for prospects at that age, a two-way is the kiss of death in terms of making the team this year. Agents of such players should be angling for two-year deals with the second one being one way. Theo Peckham highlights…
A little teaser here. This is Mikael Granlund from Sunday:

Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?
Oh, please shoot me now before it's too late
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?I understood it, and I'm brand new...
In any event, an online test for psi, while perhaps fun, is not exactly rigourous scientific protocol!
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?
It's been a while, but if I remember right, it was simply information gathering rather than anything scientific at this point. I also seem to remember it was a preliminary to Gary Schartz' new round of experiments.
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?
In that case, I would worry if I were you.
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?It's been years since I've played with all that stuff but I will see if I can track down the articles around the CSICOP situation.
Memory serving me right, the situation happened in the late 1970s and had something to do with Astrology but don't hold me to that.
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?So what, no proponent has a scientific study supporting psi they want to discuss? Isn't this what you want skeptics to do? Look at the evidence for psi? Isn't that one of the reasons for this site?
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?
Good luck with someone finding that. Yes. Yes. and Yes. If you're bored though and want to discuss psi, go back and do a search on this site for Daz Smith. He thinks his RV experments are rock solid but for some reason, one day he just quit posting. Maybe we could regenerate some good discussion with how a description of music proves he was "seeing" a tornado--or something like that...
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?I miss Daz h/s was so much fun
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?The only reason I'm willing to believe psi is a real phenomenon is from my own personal experiences. I generally don't believe internet stories or what other people tell me. I definitely have faith in my own sanity and senses at least. I've mentioned personal experiences on other forums (mistakenly) and when the materialist religionists couldn't provide an explaination for what I've experienced they resorted to some extremely viscious personal attacks or the 'nicer' "sceptics" would resort to trying to twist my own words around or by actually trying to get me to 'admit' I was lying or confused (something I'm sure many innocent defendants being accussed of a crime they know they didn't commit while having investigators pounding on them to admit their guilt would understand).
I'm sorry, no Internet links from me here at this time. I've mentioned a few minor incidents on this site and I'm welcome to a sceptical analysis of those experiences I've mentioned in a respectful way. I'm not making any money off of selling any books here from talking about these issues like many other people who've claimed they experienced ndes and other experiences have done. I've responded to questions asked by 'sceptics' on other forums (I'm not referring to anything on this site) that wanted people to talk about any 'paranormal' experiences they thought the user had or some similarly phrased question. Then when I would answer and my experiences couldn't be debunked by their 'more rational reasons' then the ancedotal evidence not holding any weight stuff or the James Randi/Michael Shermer lovefest party would start up. This would bring me to this response then: Why the heck would you ask such a question then? I will try to find the link about a lifelong blind individual who had surgery done where that blind person was able to decribe some basic things when I get time and post it here. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?While I'll of course read any personal stories that you post, I usually try and avoid commenting on personal anecdotes. They are extremely difficult to assess and asking someone for an explanation is hardly a fair request given the limited ability of the person to investigate. The best you'll get are generalities - how could it be otherwise?
Yes, blind people have been known to have NDE's and to see in them. The issue of NDE's is very interesting and the subject of much exploration right now. A big study called the AWARE study is currently underway where they are looking very closely at what happens when we die, and particularly focusing on NDEs and whether they see things that could not have been sensed by ordinary means. Will be interesting to see the results.
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?It was through multiple personal experiences that convinced me. I've seen too many critiques on the Scole Report for no infrared cameras being allowed to take any pictures so I won't use that one. Here is a link about experiments/results done in a laboratory setting involving mediumship:
http://www.windbridge.org/papers/Beisch ... 07vol3.pdf mediumship. Here is one about electronic communications with spirits: http://www.worlditc.org/ . Here is an interesting article written about Ian Stevenson being interviewed about his study/methods on reincarnation involving children: http://www.worlditc.org/ . That link is probally the best link that you can get about Stevenson's research WITHOUT purchasing his book on the subject. Hard evidence? I'm not sure but it's something. I still believe Stevenson's research on reincarnation is the most convincing evidence for anything paranormal outside of maybe a handful of ndes/obes that I've read about. Maybe Ian Stevenson didn't directly prove reincarnation but from reading his book it does show that Occum's Razor actually favors reincarnation over any other possible explaination. You have to read the book. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?I screwed up there. Here is the link to the interview with Ian Stevenson: http://reluctant-messenger.com/reincarnation-proof.htm .
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Re: Best scientific evidence for Psi?I've looked at some of Stevenson's stuff. I'm not sold. There is too much interpretation that needs to be done. Most of the time he's getting there years after the stories are all mapped out. And I think there is a great deal of wishful thinking going on - or at least no easy way to determine that its not going on. I don't doubt a lot of these people believe it - some might be making it up - but children are so suggestive that it is hard to separate out truth from wish fulfillment.

Retrospect Ensemble
Retrospect Ensemble is London's exciting new period instrument orchestra and choir. Founded in 2009 the group has already undertaken major concert tours to the Far East, Middle East and Europe and performed at a number of prestigious UK festivals. Directed by Matthew Halls, one of the UK's most dynamic young conductors and acclaimed keyboard players, Retrospect Ensemble is taking its musicians and audiences on a new journey - exploring the repertoire of four centuries, embracing the practices, styles and aesthetics of former ages with renewed vigour and a fresh approach.
Retrospect Ensemble is a flexible group which performs as an orchestra, a choir, a chamber ensemble (including the Retrospect Trio, whose first recording was issued by Linn Records in May 2009) and other combinations - more about Retrospect Ensemble.
December 2012 - latest reviews of Bach Harpsichord Concertos CD
The Sunday Times (18 November 2012)
Hugh Canning
'After a period during which pianists have again laid claim to Bach's keyboard concertos, it is refreshing to encounter them in a context that their composer might have recognised: music da camera, or chamber music. At least, that is how these glorious concertos come across in Matthew Halls's nimble, improvisatory hands, and those of his five string colleagues and two recorder players. Halls directs the performance from the harpsichord, never dominating the tuttis, but exploiting a free-ranging fantasy in his stylishly decorated solo passages. The concertos sound pristine and revealed anew, like cleaned Old Master paintings. More, please.'
The Irish Times (1 December 2012)
Michael Dervan
'The four concertos all sound well in the form they've come down to us, and Matthew Halls's performances, directed from the keyboard with the single strings of his Retrospect Ensemble, are not just stylish but also sensitively recorded, so that the harpsichord is blended with the other instruments in a realistic manner rather than artificially spotlit.'

September 2012 - JS Bach Harpsichord Concertos CD release
Our highly acclaimed series of recordings continues with the recent release of JS Bach's Harpsichord Concertos. Full of dazzling virtuosic passages and incredible solo cadenzas, they provide a mesmerising showcase of director Matthew Halls's keyboard virtuosity and the ensemble's affinity with Bach.
The recording will feature as 'Disc of the Month' in the December issue of the BBC Music Magazine.

March 2012 - Review of Handel's Amadigi di Gaula at Wigmore Hall
Opera Britannia review by Miranda Jackson, 12 March 2012
"I was privileged to hear my first performance of Handel's Amadigi di Gaula at Wigmore Hall on 7th March in the very capable hands of Retrospect Ensemble, directed from the harpsichord by Matthew Halls… I would urge all you opera seria fans out there to look out for the next opera performances by Retrospect Ensemble. If the singers, players, direction and interpretation are half as good next time as they were at the Wigmore, I can guarantee this will be a 'must-see' event."

February 2012 - BBC Radio 3 broadcast on Sunday 26 February
Our concert of Polish Baroque music recorded at the Lufthansa Festival in St John's Smith Square in May 2011 will be featured on BBC Radio 3's Early Music Show on Sunday 26 February at 13.00. The programme features rarely heard vocal and instrumental works by Zielenski, Jarzebski, Gorczycki, Szarzynski and Stachowicz.
January 2012 - Review of New Year's Eve concert at Wigmore Hall
Sunday Times Culture section, 15 January 2012:
Even the New Year's Eve event did not slip below the level of the vividly arresting. Matthew Halls's Retrospect Ensemble offered an all-Bach programme whose crisp realisation involved a rather more than chamber-sized ensemble on the exiguous platform, even if the cantata Unser Mund sei voll Lachens (BWV 110) and the Magnificat in D (BWV 243) were given in the modern, period-conscious way, grouping the vocal soloists together as the chorus. Among the solo singing, the alto of Christopher Ainslie was notably textured and expressive. Halls's own harpsichord-playing in the other item, Brandenburg Concerto No 5, was magnificently businesslike, and Rachel Brown's flute-playing exquisite. One noted how the mere addition of a flute to a string quintet made the accompaniment plausibly orchestral.
August 2011 - Second Gramophone Award nomination for Retrospect
For the second time in as many years, Retrospect has been nominated for a coveted Gramophone Award. This year the group's recent recording of Bach's Easter and Ascension Oratorios has attracted the attention of the judges and has been named as one of the six finalists in the Baroque Vocal category. Described by the Sunday Times as "top-drawer Bach throughout" (Classical CD of the Week) and hailed by critics as a "landmark" Bach recording, this recent release is available in CD and download formats via the Linn Records website.
August 2011 - New Purcell Recording
We are delighted to announce the release of our latest CD featuring the sublime music of Henry Purcell. This second volume of Purcell Sonatas by Retrospect Trio has been hotly anticipated since its debut recording, a Finalist at the 2009 Gramophone Awards, was released; BBC Music Magazine described the follow up as "a mouthwatering matter of urgency." You can find more information on this recording on the Linn Records website.
August 2011 - Trio returns from Finland
The four members of Retrospect Trio (violinists Matthew Truscott and Sophie Gent, cellist/gambist Jonathan Manson and harpsichordist Matthew Halls) have just returned from their debut appearance at the Vantaa Festival in Helsinki, where they were previewing their new disc of Purcell Sonatas (to be released in September). You can view video excerpts of this concert online. Purcell's Sonata in three parts number III and 'O Solitude' (with soprano Julia Doyle) were amongst the musical highlights of this memorable concert.
March 2011 - Bach Easter Oratorio now available for download
April 4th marks the official release date of our latest recording on the award-winning Linn Records label. A world-class solo lineup and the combined forces of Retrospect Ensemble and Choir offer rousing performances of Bach's Easter and Ascension Oratorio. The disc is already receiving praise from the critics!
"MUSICAL highs don't come much better than a good dose of Bach in "rejoice" mode. So here's a double dose – a coupling of the Easter and Ascension Oratorios, served up with tingling and ecstatic energy by the excellent Retrospect Ensemble. Three components combine with single-minded unity and intent: the vital but stylistic flair of the small chorus; the poetic eloquence and lack of preciousness of the period instruments; and a star-studded band of soloists that include the purebred lustre of soprano Carolyn Sampson, resplendent tenor James Gilchrist, and the furiously agile countertenor Iestyn Davies. Conductor Matthew Halls gleans warmth from this wonderful music."
***** Kenneth Walton, The Scotsman

October 1st 2010 - Linn Records triumphs at 2010 Gramophone Awards ceremony!
We are delighted to hear the news that Linn Records has been named 'Record Label of the Year' at today's Gramophone Awards ceremony in London.
"Linn is the very model of a modern record company, ensuring that the highest standards are maintained from the studio right through the company's very impressive digital store. Shrewd A&R and matching ear-catching musicianship to appropriate repertoire, creates a sense of anticipation around every release."
James Jolly, Editor-in-Chief, Gramophone Magazine.
You can read the press release here.
a spellbinding concert... [Matthew Halls] inspired lithe performances from the vocal and instrumental ensembles, who constantly rearranged themselves with well-rehearsed assurance. The stones of Venice may crumble and sink but its music, with performances of this joy and sophistication, is imperishable.

£40K - The Cost of Being a Candidate
18 comments:
- Scary Biscuits said...
Having a bursary from Central Office is a terrible idea. It would increase CO's control over candidates even more, at a time when many Tories are coming to the conclusion that CO is part of our problems not their solution.
Anyway where would the money for these bursaries come from? Rich men or the consituencies? In either case why not just cut out the bureaucrats in the middle?
Many of the best MPs in our history had private patrons. Perhaps it's time this tradition was revived. - August 01, 2006 1:21 pm
- James said...
Tim needs to make his mind up. He opposes any public funding of parties yet imagines they can magic five-figure bursaries out of thin air.
- August 01, 2006 1:52 pm
I am not surprised at the cost. I guess if you want to be an MP that badly it may be worth it so I do not fel sorry for candidates. It is probably cheaper than doing an MBA.
- August 01, 2006 2:00 pm
Perhaps just a raffle-ticket allowance would suffice...
- August 01, 2006 2:03 pm
A more interesting question....
What do candidates think they'll get for forking out 40K?
An altruistic warm glow?
The joy of belonging as they're herded through the division lobby like sheep?
Or is it a very smart investment?
Can't think of any other occupation where such a small outlay would guarantee such a fat pension pot - with other benefits (travel, expenses, some poor sod of a reporter being obliged to listen as ego-driven drivel is spouted) along the way. - August 01, 2006 2:16 pm
- Hayek's Grandad said...
£40K is a tiny price to pay for the salary/pension/perks/expenses that come with being an MP.
Assuming a backbenchers total cost to the taxpayer is around 150K p/a (a very conservative estimate given the generous pension) and assuming you're average MP sits for ~30 years and that it takes on average two attempts to get elected.
That's a 187.5% annual return on your money and that doesn't take into account the annual inflation busting pay rise you get to vote yourself.
It's hard to see where you will get a better better return. The (just under) 30 year treasury rate is currently 4.04%. - August 01, 2006 2:25 pm
- Iain Dale said...
Hayek, that is an absolute load of rubbish. I'd love to see how you get to £150,000 when the salary is £59,000. the Parliamentary Allowance does not go into MPs pockets - it covers the cost of employing staff and running an office. And where you get the idea that an average MP serves for 30 years I just don't know.
- August 01, 2006 2:34 pm
- David Boothroyd said...
This is a fascinating story which has actually been told before: the book "Tory M.P." by Simon Haxey, written in the late 1930s, showed how expensive it was then for would-be candidates. In those days the candidate was expected not merely to pay their own election expenses but also to pay a hefty subscription to the local Conservative Association. (Incidentally, 'Simon Haxey' was a pseudonym and so far as I can find his real identity is as yet unknown)
The Labour Party has a very big issue with all this. There is a strong principle that no-one should ever be considered a better candidate merely because they have more money. A would-be Labour Party candidate who attempted to win favour by offering to pay the election expenses etc. would damage their chances of selection. - August 01, 2006 2:43 pm
- Hayek's Grandad said...
Come on Iain 59K??? The pension itself is worth the tax on the salary. The directorships and travel allowances and extra home allowances, take it easily over the 100K mark. Then there's the salary for the partner who's the 'constituency secretary'.
I'll hapily admit thought that 30 years was a complete stab in the dark, but even if you say the average is 10 years (I'm sure it must be more than that), it's still a much better return than you'll get in the markets.
And all you have to do in return is have people stroke your ego (yes I know some do a lot more than that but not all by any means). - August 01, 2006 2:55 pm
some Mps take a major cut in salary to become an MP. Shadow ministers are prob the worst off with circa 80 - 90 hour weeks and decisions that chief execs of private companies would be paid hundreds of thousands for making. Some MPs are lazy but the level of cynicism you have Hayek is not justified in current situation.
- August 01, 2006 3:04 pm
- Anthony Wells said...
At some point it was a live issue in the Conservative party, and amounted to little more than some Conservative assocations selling their selection in exchange for funds. Quintin Hogg described it in the 1940s as "a festering sore in the Conservative Party for years."
The Maxwell-Fyfe reforms limited the amount of money a Conservative MP was permitted to give to his local association to £50 a year. I've no idea when the rule fell by the wayside (assuming that it has!), but I'm certain most MPs and candidates give a lot more than that, if only in raffle tickets. - August 01, 2006 3:06 pm
If this is a way of suggesting state funding of political parties then you can forget it. I think it is a good thing that generally only rich people can become MP's. The country will be a damn sight better off when this principle is extended to voting in general.
The point about Government is that it should not represent people, rather property. I would advocate a system where only householders get a vote. Then we could avoid the current situation where people are going to vote for the likes of Dave "because he is cool" (Oakeshott is embarrassed to admit that he heard this from a member of his own family).
As for Hayek's point - he is largely right. The vast majority of the MP's are there because of party patronage(ie a monkey could win if they were given the right rosette - and there are a few monkeys of all colours there now). Many of the MP's employ their wives/current bit of stuff(or both) as their secretary, when they have no qualifications to do the job. Thus they pocket the money. I would suggest that if only rich people are becoming MP's, then we could do away with the salary altogether and get back to the good old fashioned idea of service. This would smoke out the working class lefties(well it would after we had dealt with the union racket). - August 01, 2006 3:18 pm
- phone cam foolery said...
come off it iain we all know how often MPs employ their wives /partners and rent rooms in their own houses for use as offices, not to mention the generous travel allowances and free stetsons.
However,tell me you are pro gun and pro hunting and I may just send you a 10 shilling postal order towards your campaign. - August 01, 2006 3:38 pm
- Hayek's Grandad said...
I agree some MP's take a major pay cut, but even more don't as they often continue their jobs as investment bankers, lawyers, writers, journo's etc.
I also agree something needs to be done to encourage more and better candidates and that at the moment it's a rich person's game. I just don't think throwing more money at MP's is going to help, I'm certain the rich would still win the game (they almost always do) and then we'll just have paid more money to achieve the same result.
If we want to improve the calibre of MP we need better ways of judging an MP's and a candidate's potential and performance. That would encourage good candidates to try their hand and should get rid of many of the candidates who simply want their egos stroked and/or a free ride.
Oddly enough MP's aren't keen on having their performance measured.... can't think why! - August 01, 2006 3:40 pm
"Shadow ministers are prob the worst off with circa 80 - 90 hour weeks and decisions that chief execs of private companies would be paid hundreds of thousands for making"
Balls. CEOs actually make real decisions and have responsibility for the observeable results. Shadow ministers aren't in charge of a whelk stall. - August 01, 2006 3:41 pm
- phone cam foolery said...
oakshotte yet again i agree with you 0+:
Being an MP should not be considered a job, it should be a public service.
I will always remember that t****** John Major boasting about how "productive" his government was and quoted how many pieces of legislation they had enacted, in other words justifying their existence by poking their stupid noses into my business and dreaming up more ways to piss my money up the wall. - August 01, 2006 3:49 pm
Why should activists' money be wasted on subsidising candidates?
If you choose to fight a seat outside your region that's your problem, not the party's.
The party is £18million in debt thanks to the mismanagement of finances under Michael Howard.
Get real! - August 01, 2006 5:35 pm
If anything £41k may be an underestimate, particularly for those selected early.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A break-in at Zoo Boise early Saturday left a Patas monkey dead from blunt force trauma to the head and neck and police were analyzing blood found at the scene to determine if it came from the monkey or one of two human intruders.
Two males wearing dark clothing were spotted by a security guard at 4:30 a.m. outside the fence near the primate exhibit, police said. Both fled, one of them heading into the interior of the zoo. Boise police used a thermal imager in searching the 11-acre zoo grounds but didn't find the person.
"I've been here for 15 years and we haven't had anything like this happen," Zoo Boise Director Steve Burns said. "It's unfortunate that we have to let kids know that something like this happens. Monkeys are always among the most favorite animals here."
Patas monkeys, often called the military monkey, have reddish-brown fur with grey chin whiskers and distinctive white moustaches. They are widely distributed across central Africa south of the Sahara Desert and can live more than 20 years in captivity.
During a search of the zoo before dawn, Burns heard a groan that at first he thought sounded human. It turned out to be an injured Patas monkey barely moving near the perimeter fence.
The zoo's veterinarian was called, but the monkey died just before 6 a.m. as it was being examined. A necropsy later determined that blunt force trauma was the cause of death, police said.
An inventory done by zoo staff found no other animals missing or injured. The zoo has one remaining Patas monkey — another male — but it's unclear if it will remain at the zoo or will be sent to another zoo where it can socialize with other Patas monkeys, Burns said.
"They're not endangered in the wild, but there are not many in zoos in the United States," he said. "Monkeys are social animals. We only have one."
The two Patas monkeys came to Zoo Boise about three years ago from Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo in Florida. They had an outdoor enclosure during the summer in Boise but were moved indoors to the primate building when colder weather arrived.
Burns said the monkeys hadn't been given names, and he didn't know their ages. The monkey that was killed was about 2 ½ feet tall and weighed about 30 pounds, Burns said. Continued...
Burns declined to discuss details of the police investigation, including how the intruder entered the primate building, if the monkeys might have been specifically targeted, or how the monkey ended up near the perimeter fence. The zoo doesn't have surveillance cameras, he said.
"It's very disturbing that someone would intentionally break into the zoo and harm an animal," said Sgt. Ted Snyder of the Boise Police Department in a statement. "We're doing all we can to find who did this."
Amy Stahl of Boise Parks & Recreation said the death shocked zoo workers.
"They're hit hard," Stahl said. "They care for the animals on a daily basis and they care about them deeply."
The zoo was supposed to open at 10 a.m. but remained closed while police gathered evidence, opening about 2:30 p.m.

Liz @ The Brambleberry Cottage
I am in AWE. Wonderful job and great concept. I must say, even though I have begun blogging, I am still a bit unsure of how things work so I was not sure how I would like a digital magazine. It did work with no problem; but still wonder if I will miss the smell and feel of holding an actual magazine as I sip my tea (or glass of wine). No worries though. Some of us older ones just come kicking and screaming into the digital generation. I'm sure I will get with the program........
Best, Lisa
Thank you for letting us try a complimentary magazine before we commit. I have been on the fence and thought the idea of a digital magazine an intriguing concept but was really uncertain if I would like it. I have long since given up regular magazines because they seem so banal as far as new ideas... and wasteful as far as what to do with them after I've read them. I recycle but that too seems like such a waste when it comes to magazines. Really pleased for the is opportunity:)
I love it already!... Happy Sunday... xv
I love it already! Happy Sunday... xv
Just found your website and I love it! I'll definitely be here more often. :) I'm going to send that email...now!

Professor Tim Noakes says the top Springboks must be rested for two months or Jake White's team will pay the price at the 2007 World Cup.
Noakes told Die Burger that he is not surprised about the Boks growing injury list.
"Some of our top players have been playing rugby continuously for nearly three years," he explained to Herbert Pretorius. "No player's body can take so much punishment week in and week out.
"It's no surprise that Bakkies Botha and Bryan Habana were injured in the Super 14 semi-final. They are two of the players who have been totally over-utilised the past three seasons.
"It is inevitable that they would be injured at some time or other. These were not freak injuries. Your brain tells you to continue, but your body will rebel at some stage.
"My advice is that key players like Matfield and Burger must forget about rugby for two months. They must not go near a rugby field, because it's just as important that they get a mental break."
Using the Sharks performance this season as an example, Noakes said: "After last year's Currie Cup the players were given a month's holiday [for the first time ever to his knowledge]. It's no coincidence that these players were so sharp this year."
Noakes said South Africa's rugby bosses cannot hold White responsible for defeats if he does not have rested players to pick from.
"SA Rugby must take the blame for the consequences of their decision if they deny Jake's request. If this will happen is another story, because usually the coach must face the firing squad."

23 May 2006, 13:11 pmkeep all the key boks out of the tri nations and currie cup next year.that should give them enough time to recover before the worldcup
23 May 2006, 13:12 pmkevin,
maybe you are right. Rugby is a sissies game. surely it cant take a toll on the players. they should organize mid week games for the S14 too. and maybe to make it interesting they should be allowed to use clubs and bats in the loose.
i think they should play every second day.you guys are ridiculous.
23 May 2006, 13:27 pmKevin – why are you banging on about Chris Jack, as though comparing one player with one other player proves anything at all. If you try to do what you are doing, everything else must be equal.
Why don't you pull out the stats on how many tackles both players have made, their training details, their relaxation details and while you are at it, their genetic predisposition to suffer injury (or not) after long periods of exercise.
23 May 2006, 13:29 pmIn my humble opinion Jake made one mistake. He should have used the end of year tour in 2005 to blood a few more youngsters. That would have alleviated the strain on his first pick 15. I think it`s too late now.
BUT I will back Jake until or if he`s proven wrong.
23 May 2006, 13:37 pmToo much rugby???
What exactly constitutes too much rugby?Is there a scientific study to answer this and if so what do the experts,like Dr Noakes,say should be the max?There is the question of money and this one fears has become a central focus of players and coaches alike.It pays to play and conversely for the Unions you don't want to pay for no play.A coaches job hangs on the thread of results and as a result coaches are reluctant to rest their stars,even when carrying niggling injuries (a'la Bakkies Botha last weekend).It seems there are only conflicting standpoints and at the end of the day the paying fan will now suffer.Some argue a world cup is worth a CC and S14 without the big names,other feel cheated by having to watch teams without the big names.I for one would dearly like to see a CC with the big names present,yet would also like to see the bokke sweep all before them.Somewhere in the middle lies a solution and some comprise by all could help us find this middleground.The competition structures are currently all wrong and have been chopped and changed ad nauseum.It is now time for SA rugby to decide once and for all where we are going.A strength vs strength Currie Cup is imperative and the timing of this is the key issue.If we are ever to win the Super 14 then we need to make this our primary focus and for the 5 teams (either entrenched or qualified in some manner) this will be what they plan their year around.We know well in advance what the years Test schedule is going to look like and the 3N is set in stone,it really can't be that hard to plan around.The Super 14 (despite our poor results and feeble excuses) is a great competition and I feel should be embraced as the Southern Hemispheres premier league with national competitions(like the CC) as the second tier.This means key international players will prove themselves in the S14 and can then be managed in the CC as necessary.The Currie Cup then becomes the S14 feeder and though it won't feature all the big guns all the time it would still be a major event.This type of thinking would sound the death knell for the Vodacom Cup, but surely we can use the framework of the VC to establish a major Club competition.There is an embarrassing lack of interest in the VC anyway.
Perhaps then the key is a massive shift in emphasis from the CC to the Super 14.The VC Club Champs (or whatever title it gets) would run in parrallel with the S14 and allow non S14 squad members a chance to stay sharp,young club hopefuls get to rub shoulders with quality seniors and club rugby gets a huge boost.The Currie Cup then runs later in the year in whatever form it takes and the non-essential internationals stay sharp in this competition, while the Boks are freed up to focus on their international commitments.I as Joe Soap on the street cannot see why some solution can't be found.Contracts for S14 could be handled at National level and this in turn makes the drafting of players a far simpler exercise and allows the National Body to manage the top 140 odd players in all comps.Any player who hasn't managed to secure an "A" grade contract is then contracted to the Union and managed at this level.National contracts can be reviewed annually and players will know they have to perform or their contract may suffer.Essentially what is needed is the creation of an elite league of players controlled by one body a'la New Zealand.Then have the Unions as the second tier and clubs as the entry level feeder system. Wether any of my ramblings are sensible I am not sure,but what I do know is it is high time all of this got sorted out on a long-term basis.Come on Mr Hoskins here is your chance to leave a healthy rugby structure as your legacy!! -
23 May 2006, 13:40 pmRastafox – to create a paragraph, hit the enter button twice. It's the big one on the right of your keyboard, marked 'enter'.
23 May 2006, 13:41 pmThanks *****,didn't think about paragraphs at all!!
23 May 2006, 14:00 pmI agree rastafox. SA needs a director of rugby, Mallet, to oversee the massive shift. I think the s14 is a great idea however the extended tri-nations is bollox. It is the most selfish competition in the world. they need to bring in the pumas and the island warrior team and everybody plays each other once. Plus the bledisloe cup and the mandela cup.
23 May 2006, 14:02 pmThe ozzies have a great break between tri-nations and end of year tour, coz they have no internal provincial competition. That means the players can really put their all into the S14 and Tri-nations, coz they know they have a break.
23 May 2006, 14:11 pmDirector of Rugby yes, but please not Mallet he's done nothing , zero, zip for the Strompies
23 May 2006, 14:16 pmI for one am rather bored by the Tri-nations and now we have to endure a coffer-filling extension. I would love to see an exciting competition featuring the Islanders and Argentinians.Not being sure of club commitments abroad would the Argies be able to field a full strength team at this time?
23 May 2006, 14:44 pmWWW's comments (No. 15) are really interesting and worth looking at.
The Pacific Islanders and Argentina have been knifed in the back by the goons who injected a 3-each Tri-Nation this year; and we (the rugby public world-wise) have been deprived of much more interesting rugby. Just despicable.

23 May 2006, 14:45 pmCapebull – why don't you swallow your prejudices and acknowledge that Nick Mallett has achieved at the highest level of rugby.
And maybe you need to wipe the bullshit out of your eyes and realise that the Stormers will once again rise to the top when the right structures are in place. Or do you think that the Bulls are going to be top of the pile forever. Oh sorry, why did I ask. That is probably exactly what you think.
23 May 2006, 15:10 pmDr Tim Noakes is one of UCT's 21 A-rated scientists (a global rating), which means that he is WIDELY published, with the expertise to supervise and interpet a wide area of research in human biology/exercise science.
According to an abbreviated CV, as of 2004 he had authored or co-authored 350 scientific papers and was on the editorial boards of 13 international scientific publications.
23 May 2006, 15:30 pmref posting #34 – Vinnie stop talking ****. Also comment #46 makes it sound as though you need a few lessons in physiology. The "koppestamp: mentality you seem so proud of is going to be SA rugby's downfall.
23 May 2006, 15:30 pmPussycat,
I make comments about Mallet , maybe beacuse I have inside info in the WP rugby matters, maybe because I know some things from his Boland days, what do you base your info on.
23 May 2006, 16:12 pm55 – For once Rastafox I agree totally!
23 May 2006, 16:19 pmCapebull, I also have 'inside information' into WP and SA rugby – through about 5 different sources. Cape Town is a very small place and if you listen to one person, you must listen to every other one. For every one point of view, there are another ten. This from 'people in the know'. The 'people in the know' more often than not are emotional, because they are involved in a political quagmire and petty squabbles.
I base my comments on ability, experience, achievements and logic.
Sounds as if Mallett made mincemeat out of you somewhere down the line. Maybe Boland? Toughen up, is my advice.
23 May 2006, 16:33 pmPussycat , you are way off the truth, lets leave it at that,
I still maintaine Mallet is no good and just talk.
You say he's not, then please enlighten me, what has he done for WP the last 2 years, and why if he has done anything, he keeps it such a big secret.
From what I see the WP has become wp and Stromers has become strompies, and please do not blame it on lack of players. Ask why Hougaard refussed to come to WP , and there are many more examples.
23 May 2006, 16:44 pmrastafaox rules,his remarks are spot on:-D
23 May 2006, 19:09 pmI think a lot of the reaosns for the gigh injury rates is also the way we play the game in SA.
We try to bully the opposition and dont, for example like the ozzies, try to beat a team on skill.The rush defense employed by JW is designed to get in your opponents faces and encourages a physical game.
Your opponents also get sore but the next week they move on and play a team not employing such a gameplana nd get a rest whereas we do it week in week out.
23 May 2006, 20:34 pmMake that three months minimum, four months would be closer to optimal.
Vinnie, I agree with your point.
24 May 2006, 00:12 amYou cannot STOP the S14 or 3N in a RWC year simply because you have a signed contract to play all these matches and with full-strength teams. It is these competitions alone that make the money to allow top players to earn a living doing nothing but play rugby. That's the unions' income stream. The cash the SANZAR unions earn from RWC once every 4 years is chicken-feed. It's adequate income for the minnow amateur unions such as Namibia or Uruguay, but small change for big pro unions such as SANZAR and Six Nations.
And if you breach the terms of your signed contract, the sponsors will simply sue you and bankrupt your union.
What's hard to understand about that?
24 May 2006, 01:06 amTackler, we're all speculating. A proper quantative analysis of the various options for SA rugby might assist decision-making. However, I suspect that a stakeholder analysis will, at the outset, stall any meaningful attempt at restructuring.
24 May 2006, 09:45 amJohn Cowper
Thanks bud, at least someone is listening…
24 May 2006, 14:34 pmWWW -
I've passed your ideas onto others – very good stuff which explains why our monstrous forwards (Eddie not counted) are not dominating like they could and should.
In the your opinion does Eddie take the 'balance' out of the front row and therefore the entire pack?

A barrel of oil settled Friday at $99 on the New York Mercantile Exchange--$2.58 more than the week prior.
The Federal Reserve's announcement last week to move forward with more stimulus measures in an effort to spur economic growth caused oil prices to jump. In addition, the escalated violence in the Mideast and North Africa has led to concerns of supply disruptions. This comes at a time when Iran's output is down because of sanctions against the country. In 2011, the Middle East and North Africa were responsible for approximately 36 percent of global oil production.
"With the stimulus announcement and increased tensions overseas, it's surprising oil prices are not above $100 a barrel," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, The Auto Club Group. "However, it's very likely the cost of a barrel of oil will surpass $100 this week, as concerns of a supply disruption in the Middle East intensify.
"Unfortunately, it doesn't look like motorists will see much of a decrease, if any, at the pump, as initially expected this time of year. Instead, gas prices are likely to increase."
The national average price of regular unleaded gasoline is $3.86, 3 cents more than last week. Florida's average of $3.81 and Tennessee's average of $3.67 both increased 2 cents from a week ago today. While Georgia's average of $3.77 fell 4 cents from last week, respectively. Visit AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report to find national, state, and local metro market retail gasoline prices.
Current and past gas price averages: National:
Last week-$3.825
Last month-$3.716
Last year-$3.611
Last week-$3.790
Last month-$3.651
Last year-$3.560

A disturbance in a local courtroom sent one man to jail.
Last Tuesday Larry Truman Kitts, Jr., 28, of 147 Davenport Road, allegedly became agitated during general sessions court.
According to LaFollette Police Officer Pam Jarrett's report, when Kitts' voice became loud he was asked by the bailiff to stand. As the bailiff approached Kitts allegedly stood up and "with both hands pushed the victim (bailiff) in the chest causing the victim to fall backwards and almost lose his balance."

I am designing a product that has a feature for end users to scan/upload visual and text work. The quality needs to be good. The user demographic is not very tech savvy. Question is what is the best user friendly tool out there that I can integrate in the website?
closed as not a real question by DA01, ChrisF, Vitaly Mijiritsky, JonW♦ Mar 16 '12 at 7:41
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.
As you probably know, three big problems with letting users use their own scanners are:
This is why many banks that do support customer side check-scanning prefer to either write their own software (for the case of mobile devices), or just issue their own device designed specifically for scanning checks. Assuming custom hardware & software combo is not an option, I would look into Active-X or JAVA based TWAIN solutions. TWAIN takes care of the device variability issue. But you'll also have to minimize user variability by customizing your software to provide guided flows and limit scanning parameters to prevent things like:

This is Go Ape, the multi-award winning Tree Top forest adventure. Head to one of the 28 UK forest adventures for two to three hours in the trees, taking on Zip Wires, Tarzan Swings, Rope Ladders and a variety of High-Wire Crossings, all set in the UK's most beautiful woodlands. At Go Ape you'll be kitted out with harnesses, pulleys and Karabiners, provided with a detailed safety brief with training and then let loose into the forest canopy to roam free. Life is so much more fun when you're jumping off a tree top platform into a cargo net.
Before you head up onto the course, you'll be given a half-hour safety briefing by one of the qualified instructors. Here, you'll learn and try out the obstacles at low levels, and get to grips with the equipment. It's not complicated, but it's important stuff and it will give you the confidence to enjoy your time in the trees. After your training they won't supervise you. You'll be responsible for yourself but of course, instructors are always on hand, regularly patrolling the forests (not in monkey suits unfortunately!)
All you have to do is pay for the experience you wish to purchase and we'll send a gift pack to you or directly to the recipient. A voucher and booking information will be included in the pack so you just need to check the info and book your experience.

Go Ape was amazing!! So much fun - and conquered my friend's terror of heights.!! She's still buzzing. Sophie
We really enjoyed our experience, the staff at the site were really friendly and informative throughout our time at Go Ape and we enjoyed it and will definitely come back!! Jen
My favourite parts of the course where the zip wires. I really enjoyed the day, me and my boyfriend had a fab time. Stacey
Great fun for all the family. 2 teenage girls and 2 adults had a great time. Suitable for all of reasonable fitness and fun for those with good fitness levels. Peter
it was really good fun, I enjoyed it very much. The best part is towards the end when things are a bit harder and especially the jump to the net! The bad part is the waiting - there was too much waiting. At some point we were 22 people queueing to climb the tree, we couldn't fit in the small area under the tree so we had to queue outside. This waiting was in all the stages which spoiled the experience a bit, however we were told that this delay was caused by a charity group taking all their time taking pictures. Maybe you should think on forbidding this and having your own photographers on site. Ashley

Wine Spectator published an article by MaryAnn Worobiec, senior editor and lead taster on New Zealand wines, entitled "New Zealand's Bright Horizon". The article discusses how far New Zealand wines have come in the industry, the amazing wines the region produces and the accomplished winemakers who have contributed to the bright future New Zealand wines have. Worobiec says the demand for New Zealand's Sauvignon Blancs, Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays is booming for good reason, these wines offer high quality and the majority of them cost $30 or less per bottle. "New Zealand is now the world's 10th largest exporter by value."
She also mentions, "At Dog Point, winemaker James Healy ages the Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough Section 94 2011 (90, $36) for 18 months in older French oak barrels. These wines – and a number of the other top Sauvignon Blancs – exhibit an enticing range of aromatics and offer supple textures." You can read more about all the great things New Zealand wines have to offer by click here. Also, see the photo below of James Healy himself feature in the article!

I have previously implemented Spring Portlet MVC applications and have hit a snag trying to implement a validator under SWF 2.0.3
My validator is a fairly simple affair:
I'm using an Errors instance in the method as opposed to a MessageContext instance as I have a bunch of legacy validation routines that depend on Errors. Based on previous portlet MVC experience, I'd expect my validator to be invoked after binding is complete, with any binding errors pre-populated into the Errors object and with the ability to call errors.getFieldValue() (which should return either the currently bound field value or the user-entered value if a binding error occurred).Code:public class ProjectFormValidator { public void validateActivityDetails(ProjectForm form, Errors errors) { rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(errors, "projectDetail.projectName", form.getProjectDetail().getProjectName(), RdtcConstants.REQUIRED_FIELD_KEY); } private void rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(Errors errors, String field, Object fieldValue, String requiredKey){ //Object value = errors.getFieldValue(path); if (fieldValue == null ||!StringUtils.hasText(fieldValue.toString())) { errors.rejectValue(field, requiredKey, null, null); } } }
After configuring my validator in the spring and webflow configuration files I'm experiencing two separate but potentially related problems:
1. My validator is ONLY invoked if no data binding errors occurred. This causes usability issues in our application, as a user will initially be presented with a set of binding-related errors, and after correcting these and re-submitting will potentially be presented with a new, unrelated set of errors (from the validator) that we could/should have been able to tell them about the first time.
2. Attempting to call errors.getFieldValue() throws an UnsupportedOperationException. I believe this has been previously raised as SWF-823 and looks like it will be fixed in the 2.0.4 release, but it is unclear to me whether the fix just prevents the exception being thrown or whether it will return the user-entered input in the case of a binding failure as specified in the Errors javadoc.
So are my expectations incorrect, am I missing something else or is there a problem in the framework?
