James Lawton: Johnson left with nothing to cling to but his usual cussed defiance
Martin Johnson talked about the ground gained not the huge tracts lost. He had a position to defend and so, of course, he defended it. It was lonely work
Monday 10 October 2011
It was over now but the big man Martin Johnson couldn't put down certain of those things which had become the foundation stones of his rugby life.
Things like bone-deep pride in achievement on the field and the need to stand four-square with the blokes, the "adults" in whom he had invested three of the most ultimately unproductive years of a career which had for so long been programmed only for the accumulation of success, hard-won, smashed-out, unforgiving of yourself and all those around you.
In this most unwelcome of dawns in New Zealand, a place where as a young player he learnt his first and most telling lessons about winning and losing, it was reasonable to believe that it was all wrecked now.
Certainly it was an idea hardly softened with the news that a campaign riddled with disciplinary problems had been given a last twist with a police warning of a charge of disorderly conduct against his star protégé Manu Tuilagi after allegations he had jumped from a ferry at the waterfront here.
Johnson sat beside Rob Andrew, the RFU professional rugby director who, having survived the wars of Twickenham that have left the Rugby Union the poster boys of big-time sports maladministration, announced matter-of-factly that his recommendations on quite a few things – including the fate of Johnson – would be delivered after a month or so of "robust" appraisal.
The embattled hero showed just one flash of emotion. It came as he spoke of his belief that the England team now packing its bags for home still has some claim on a brilliant future.
He said a lot of groundwork had been done and that in players like Chris Ashton and Ben Foden and Manu Tuilagi there were the ingredients of a new, winning England.
It was too soon to say that he would walk away – or seek to stay, just possibly stronger at the broken places and less ready to trust in his belief that athletes called to international duty would understand their responsibilities – and would always respond to an invitation to behave like professionals who could allocate a small segment of their lives to supremely concentrated effort.
Of course, he knows better now than when he made his announcement that there were would be no strongly drawn limits on alcohol, no curfews and no restrictions on the presence of WAGs. What we will not know for some time is whether he will be granted – by the RFU or himself – the chance to act upon his new, hard-won knowledge of the English professional rugby player in 2011.
Defiantly, he still reckoned that the indiscipline which so clouded the start of England's tournament, and persisted in some form or other on and off the field, contributed no more than 00.1 per cent to the disaster which reached such a shocking denouement here at Eden Park when England were so powerless to stifle the rebirth of the French belief in their ability to play rugby filled with life and panache and brutal force.
Johnson insisted that a fantastic group of coaches had been assembled, one filled with experience and knowledge and that in the World Cup of England in four years' time the benefits would be seen in the development of a new generation of players walking in the steps of Wilkinson and Shaw, Moody and Thompson.
Yet even as Johnson voiced his defiance a new list of contenders was taking shape out in the ether.
In some minds it is headed by Sir Ian McGeechan, a man of the world beyond the touchlines of the game in which he has distinguished himself as a pragmatic, Grand Slam-winning coach of Scotland and of the Lions.
There is talk of the heady Springbok Nick Mallett, out of his time with the Italians and his more abrasive, World Cup-winning compatriot Jake White. You hear a word, too, for Australia's Eddie Jones. All of this speculation about contenders from south of the Equator is powerfully fuelled by the brilliant tournament of Wales' latest adopted Kiwi, Warren Gatland.
Indeed, even as Johnson spoke with a solemn, and not undignified force, and you were reminded of all the qualities which are now being weighed by men whose judgements are based on a fragment of his knowledge of some of the most important realities of the game, it was hard to get the meaning of Gatland's work out of your head.
The trouble is that Gatland's young and thrusting Wales have been almost everything Johnson's England has not.
They have been hard and cool-headed and came into this tournament insisting that this might indeed be the great shot of their lives, the time when the alignment of the planets was perfectly disposed towards their ambitions.
Not the least cruel of Johnson's circumstances is that we saw the composure and the bite of Wales so close to the panicky confusion that consumed Johnson's England once it was clear that they were playing not blue-shirted imposters but a more than passably authentic France.
The older Ireland, with the great Brian O'Driscoll throwing in some of the last of his combative instincts, came back at Wales but only to discover they were up facing opponents of a special resilience – and aggressive devices.
Wales are being lauded here not just for their promise – the most vulnerable of assets as the tournament takes a serious turn – but for the strength and the consistency of their demeanour and their performance. They ran world champions South Africa to the point of expiry and when Ireland suggested they knew a little too much, they were cut down for their impertinence. This young Welsh team announced their own curfew even as Johnson was obliged to defend the indefensible.
Johnson, the old loyalist, talks about the future of men like Foden and Ashton and Tuilagi. Meanwhile, the likes of Rhys Priestland and George North and Jamie Roberts and, above all, the 23-year-old captain Sam Warburton announce their belief that the future might just be now.
It means that if many old case-hardened characters in this corner of the rugby world, and not least the World Cup-winning hooker Sean Fitzpatrick, see Wales as potentially a new and invigorating force in the game, others closer to home may reasonably behold them as England's supreme reproach.
Whatever happens in the semi-final against France, Wales have fulfilled their essential ambition. It was to come here and show the best of themselves. Johnson's misery on the morning of his accountability was the bleak knowledge that his team had consistently displayed not their best but quite often their worst.
Their performances were consistently far short of the highest standards here. In the group games they were dull and accident-prone in all but the training run against Romania seconds.
They talked more about their need for a few beers than even the smallest swig of contrition. They have served their critics one self-serving bromide after another. They have refused to face their own shortcomings and when it came to redemption time, when the French, apparently so broken, had to be put out of their misery, the English response was pathetic.
It had no hauteur or cleverness or understanding of the challenge that had been presented. It was the rawest panic.
Maybe understandably, Johnson refused to acknowledge this reality. He talked about the ground that had been gained, not the huge tracts of it lost.
He had a position to defend and so, of course, he did it. It was lonely work and if you had to admire him for the sheer, cussed defiance of it, you could still only weep for the weakness of his case.

Used Hotels-Rates.com once to book a nights stay in St. Louis. When I checked out the front desk would not provide a receipt, when I called Hotels-Rates.com I was told that they would only fax me one - no emails, etc.

That's actually a common practice. The hotel can not provide you a receipt because technically, you did not pay them, Hotels-Rates.com did.
Posted by Ben There on 2007-11-15:
You did not pay the hotel, you paid hotel-rates.com so the hotel does not know exactly what you were charged and should not give you a receipt with the net amount. Just like most other retail organizations, online travel sites buy products at a bulk or discounted rate then sell them on to the consumer at a marked up price that may or may not be cheaper than what the hotel is selling directly to customers. When you buy anything online, you should print the confirmation as that is often your receipt. It is a bit wierd that they could not email you another one, but that might just be because travel had passed.
Posted by osmosis on 2007-11-16:
I asked for a receipt from hotel-rates.com and was told that it could be faxed only. I dont have a fax! The email I recieved when I booked it will not suffice for a legal receipt as it's only proof I booked it.
Interesting that the confirmation can be emailed but not a receipt.
Also, beware of the in house restaurant at the Crowne Plaza. I signed a charge to my room for $19.49 at the restaurant and was charged $27.19.
Posted by Mr Happy on 2008-06-25:
Hotels-Rates.com is the WORST. On Saturday I booked a room for the following Tuesday. My host changed my plans so I needed to cancel the reservation. Hotels-Rates couldn't give me a confirmation number when I called to cancel, and then said they couldn't reach the hotel to get a number. Promised to send an e-mail with confirmation number but that never happened either. They require 48 hour cancellation notice (and still charge a $25 cancellation fee) and if you cancel less than 48 hours in advance, YOU LOSE THE ENTIRE COST OF THE ROOM - NO REFUNDS. RIP-OFF.

PAC spending sets records in Kansas primaries
- Staff Kansas City Business Journal
Political action committees dropped $747,465 in the 10-day period before the Aug. 7 Kansas primary election, dwarfing the $14,604 it spent during the same period in 2010, The Wichita Eagle reports.
In part, the jump can be attributed to the growing reliance on PACs — backed primarily by big business, wealthy donors and unions — but it also highlights the heated infighting between moderate and conservative Republicans, the newspaper says.
The Kansas Chamber of Commerce PAC led the way, with $675,810.

The hilarious but slick and stylish clip, featuring jazzy original music and lyrics by Todrick, was choreographed by Jamal Sims (you may have seen his fancy footwork on "RuPaul's Drag U") and "So You Think You Can Dance" regular Christopher Scott. Christopher's amazing dance squad the LXD appears, as does last year's "SYTYCD" fan favorite, Cyrus "Glitch" Spencer.

As for using another browser - go ahead, however 90+% of users will be on IE so you'll only be fooling yourselves!
Good to hear full screen will be disabled. I know a few sites that spawn full screen windows and have no obvious way of getting rid of them.
Personally I use ctrl+alt+del but I'm sure this must be a real fustration to some users.
Most of the other fixes sound OK as well, not too happy about the whole Java thing but whatever.

Kelly Chiropractic & Holistic Health Center
Licensed chiropractor Kelly Quach uses modern chiropractic techniques and consultations to ward off chronic pain. Unlike conventional medicine, which only seeks to treat disease after it occurs or send the body back in time to before it was unhealthy, chiropractic treatments and massage aim to balance long-term wellness and wholesome lifestyles. Minimally invasive massage treatments and spinal adjustments reduce chronic pain and correct misalignments, and nutritional counseling, posture screenings, and lifestyle coaching help patients achieve long-term well-being. During a patient's first visit, the chiropractor provides a one-on-one consultation and performs x-rays.

When did we stop taking church architecture seriously? Christians used to devote themselves to building projects that lasted over a hundred years. Not anymore.
Redeeming the Gift of Power
Power is a gift, a means of peacemaking, a God-sanctioned key to human flourishing. This is the striking claim advanced in Andy Crouch's engaging new book.
Leviticus 19:1–2, 9–18; Matthew 5:38–48
What does God require of us? We tend to like Jesus' most famous answer, what Scot McKnight calls the Jesus Creed: to love God with our entire being and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
But what about the answer we find in the holiness code of Leviticus and the Sermon on the Mount? Are we really ready to sign up for a program of holiness and perfection? Sure, it's simple and to the point. But what chance do we have of living up to these radical standards?
Ashes in the streets
At our first outdoor procession, I felt awkward. I'd led liturgies before, but my church life and my real life didn't usually intersect so publicly.
"Take and eat," Jesus said, passing the bread around. And everybody did—except for Philip, who went away hungry, for he was allergic to gluten.
The purchase of a $3.6 million condo in Beacon Hill to house the rector of Boston's Trinity Church has caused consternation among some members of this landmark Episcopal congregation. Some members claim that it reinforces the congregation's reputation as a place for the elite. Others say it is a betrayal of the congregation's commitment to the poor in the city. Congregational leaders say a place was needed for the rector within walking distance of the church and that nothing reasonable can be purchased in the neighborhood. The purchase of the condo, which used funds from Trinity's $30 million endowment, didn't affect the operating budget of the church or its substantial ministries to the poor and homeless (Boston Globe, February 14).

LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwired) -- 07/05/13 -- Forward-thinking healthcare professionals can maintain competence and expand knowledge of policies and practices related to patients seeking medical tourism opportunities by earning up to 11 Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits at the 6th World Medical Tourism & Global Healthcare Congress, Nov. 3-5, in Las Vegas, through a joint partnership -- the first such offered worldwide -- the Medical Tourism Association® and the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine announced today.
"Globalization of healthcare has opened opportunities for patients to travel for medical and surgical care -- domestically and internationally -- but few medical tourism resources exist in terms of CMEs or peer review medical journal articles," said Eduardo de Marchena, M.D., professor of medicine and surgery and associate dean for the International Medicine Institute at the Miller School of Medicine. "Our goal in developing these CME courses is to educate and engage primary care physicians in pre-travel/preoperative and post-travel/postoperative patient care to decrease risk and improve treatment outcomes."

Home garden source of ingredients for herbal products
Relevant offers
Small Business
An interest in natural remedies has grown into a part-time career for Maree Murphy and she now produces teas and tinctures using organic herbs from her home garden.
Murphy, a qualified scientist turned medical herbalist, used to work for sausage manufacturer Huttons testing meat quality and later for a Wellington dental research laboratory. As a busy mother raising her brood of nine children, she turned to herbal remedies for relief.
"I was quite stressed when I had little children and found how much more relaxed I felt drinking herbal lemon balm tea."
She retrained with a three-year diploma through the International College of Herbal Medicine and since starting Heavenly Herbs three years ago she now sells about 25 herbal products she has concocted and has consultations with clients seeking specialised treatment.
Her brain and memory oral formula includes gingko and rosemary to improve memory, concentration and mental performance. A blend of licorice, lemon balm and other herbs was supposed to reduce constipation while a fenugreek, dandelion root and St Mary's thistle mix was designed to be a cholesterol aid.
She also makes creams. These include one for eczema, using citrus seed extract and Jojoba oil, and a nourishing night cream using rosehip oil and calendula oil. Therapeutic creams include one for haemorrhoids, with aloe and horsetail, and one for stretchmarks which is wheatgerm-oil-based.
"I'm always making new ones," she said. Murphy recently started making natural rose and lavender-scented perfume creams after customers requested non-chemical perfumes as some traditional eau de parfum can irritate allergies.
Plenty of people were sceptical about herbal treatments. She said there was "definitely a place for doctors, nurses, hospitals".
"I like people to go to the doctor first to know exactly what condition we're looking at."
Her clients ranged from people with long-term, chronic health conditions to those who had recently been diagnosed with an illness and wanted to avoid starting to take a host of antibiotics.
She usually discussed nutrition with clients, advising that they avoid processed foods. "Good nutrition is the base. If you think of the body like a car, good food is the petrol and herbs are like oil and water - a top-up now and then to keep things running well."
Her clients included a teenager with bad skin, pregnant women, recent mothers and menopausal women. The majority were aged in their 30s and 40s, when health problems typically began to arise in otherwise healthy people.
"Most are people with small niggling health issues, from feeling stressed and constipated, people who can't sleep or have digestion issues, get migraines, have skin conditions." She said it had taken an investment of under $10,000 to get the business off the ground, marketing it online and through letterbox drops, although word of mouth drew most clients.
The business is small-scale, taking up about 18 hours a week of Murphy's time.

Chick-fil-A president deletes anti-gay marriage tweet
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy took to Twitter Wednesday to announce his disappointment with the Supreme Court's decisions on same-sex marriage — but he deleted the tweet shortly afterward.
It's hard to make a social media post disappear, however.
Several Twitter users took a screen shot of the tweet, which read: "Sad day for our nation; founding fathers would be ashamed of our gen. to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies."
Chick-fil-A released a prepared statement that neither supported nor denounced Cathy's tweet.
"Dan Cathy, like everyone in this country, has his own views. However, Chick-fil-A is focused on providing great tasting food and genuine hospitality to everyone," the company said.
The tone of Chick-fil-A's statement is similar to how the company handled backlash against Cathy's previous comments on gay marriage. Cathy told a newspaper last summer that Chick-fil-A is "very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit."
After Cathy's comments sparked protests — including gay rights activists holding "kiss days" at the chain's restaurants — Chick-fil-A released a statement saying its "intent is not to engage in political or social debate."
The company also stated that it treats all customers with "dignity and respect," regardless of sexual orientation.
The Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A, which has 1,700 franchise locations across the country, makes it clear that the owner's religious ideals are a big part of the company's practices.
Chick-fil-A's website states its corporate mission is, in part, "[t]o glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us." Company policy is to close restaurants on Sunday for both practical and spiritual reasons.

The L.A. Sheriff's Deputy who arrested Mel Gibson in the infamous 2006 arrest is suing the County of L.A., claiming he's the victim of retaliation.
In the lawsuit, Deputy James Mee claims at the time of his arrest, Gibson was a spokesperson for the L.A. County Sheriff's Star Program and had filed a public service announcement for Sheriff Lee Baca, whom Mee says was Gibson's "close friend."
Mee claims he was "unjustly denied" a promotion -- the result of "religious discrimination and retaliation for plaintiff's religion and his report of anti-Semitic remarks by [Gibson]."
You'll recall, TMZ broke the story of Gibson's anti-Semitic rant. Mee is Jewish.
The suit claims Sergeant Tracy Palmer erased a videotape involving the arrest of Gibson. Sources tell TMZ Mee has said the alleged video shows Gibson out of control at the jail after his arrest. Mee has told people the tape shows Gibson screaming at the top of his lungs and pacing in the cell.
TMZ has independently confirmed there was indeed a videotape of Mel at the jail -- the cameras are mounted and trained on the booking area in the Lost Hills jail.
This is the first time Mee has revealed at length the events of July 28, 2006. He claims, as TMZ first reported, he documented Gibson's tirade in his initial report but was ordered by superiors to rewrite the report, deleting the slurs. The lawsuit -- filed by attorneys Etan Lorant and Yael Trock -- goes on to say the original 4 pages in Mee's report were published by TMZ.
Mee says he was immediately targeted as the alleged TMZ leak, despite the fact that other non-Jewish deputies had access to the 4 pages. Mee says he was unmercifully interrogated, received a negative job performance report and claims it was all the result of religious discrimination.
Mee says the department launched several investigations targeting him, to determine if he was the TMZ leak. Although Mee didn't mention it, the Sheriff's Department secretly obtained search warrants for the work and home phone records of Harvey Levin. The Sheriff's Department has never determined who leaked the document.
Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells TMZ, "We are looking forward to telling the whole story and the whole story is not being told in this lawsuit. Ethnicity and gender have nothing to do with any of this. An investigation was launched by the Sheriff's Department to try and discover who was leaking official documents without authorization. That is a crime."
Mel Gibson hates too many people. DO NOT go to his movies. DO NOT buy anything connected with him. Mel flushed his career down the bowl.
Posted at 5:01 PM on Sep 9, 2010 by Lew
If you love Lew, you will keep his commands. john 14: 15
Though shalt not view Mel Gibson's movies
Though shalt not buy anything connected with him
Though shalt be a slave to politically correct instruction
That is the gospel according to "john" and by "john" I mean the thing that Lew said Mel Gibson flushed his career into...
um, did you look at what this thread is about?
this is a lawsuit based on the fall out from the night of the arrest and how it snowballed into a police officer being allegedly discriminated against because he refused to make a false report.
so why are the "rabid team mel" group in here trying to deny something that he admitted to actually happened?
why did it take 4 years?
maybe because the internal affairs investigation was ongoing.
maybe because the last time he was qualified for a position and it closed without being filled was the "last straw".
maybe because the board granted his right to sue the department.
maybe because he wanted to sue while press was discussing Gibson.
It looks like a well do***ented case. get it before a judge so we get to hear actual evidence, and not sound bites leaked to a gossip rag.
Posted at 5:05 PM on Sep 9, 2010 by TMZgossip
"police officer being allegedly discriminated against because he refused to make a false report."
According to police reports: When deputy Mee asked to re-wrote his reports was to omit the religious profanities directed at him"
1) As I said before and said it again "That is standard procedure"
2) You are on duty and people you're arresting bound to call you named while you arrest them.
3) You cannot files and record the profanities that was aimed to you ( deputy Mee) that come with the job.
4) Deputy Mee can only write and file of Mel Gibson assaulting him, if he was assaulted.
5) Deputy Mee can write a files of Mel Gibson ranting if he was aiming it to ordinary bystander.
Deputy Mee was not asked to file false reports. " He was asked to omit the religious rants because his superior knows is not allowed and also will cause some public uproars"
In my mind deputy James Mee was so angry about being told to omit the religious rantings aimed to his person "James Mee"
So the the original reports mysteriously ended to TMZ.
Mel Gibson was charged and apologized because his arrest was made public debacle and of course jewish community was outraged.
That one of the reasons the superiors of deputy Mee trying to the avoid, the backlashed and the person will be judged harshly before the case goes to the court.
Deputy Mee already served 17 years as police officers and was overlooked to any promotions.
I think I know why, he is thin skinned, vindictive and not fit to served his country as law enforcer.
Did you know US soldiers that served overseas are victim of racist taunting and abusives profanities but as law enforcer they are taught of "I hear nothing to any profanities hurtled their way."
That also apply to the police force or police officers on duty. "Deputy Mee broke the rules section of regulations" by filing a report for personal verbal attacked to his person "deputy Mee"
Which is not allowed, if he was off duty, and Mel Gibson was taunting him with racist tirades, he can file a report to the police station that's his right as a citizen and he was off duty, therefore he is bound to the same protections as any other citizens.
But while he was on duty he cannot, he chose to work in hazzardous/high risk professions and he should expect abused/taunting from louts on the street everyday while he is on duty.
Did he files reports about them too? that he was called Jewish or other matter? guess not.
He made exception for Mel Gibson arrest because he is celebrity.
As I said before I am not making excuses for Mel Gibson dui, he made mistakes it was his first offense why can't people let it go?
He made a noble gesture to atoned himself, therefore that should be end of the story.
And for TMZGossips, I wonder if you have deep hate and anger towards Mel Gibson, because you seem can't let go of his anti-semitic ranting among other things. Everytime something come up about Mel Gibson's your one of the people whom jumped into the bandwagon and make sure to remind the haters about his past misdemeanor, doesn't your conscience twinged a bit?
Mel team are rabid according to TMZgossips: "stick and stones will break my bones, but your words can't hurt me" Police officers gospels, which deputy Mee forgotten.
Well TMZ Gossip - Bet this latest action of "Mee's" won't get him a promotion either - So I would guess if he hasn't gotten one in the past 17 years he's got a bad attitude and therefore this is just his excuse for a bone to pick this time round.
"V" outlined his past performance - it's a good read - you might look into it -
As for your beliefs and mine - well we differ - not that either will make any difference in a court of law - unless you happen to have been present at the time of the incident -
Gibson apologies for making anti-Semitic statements. Your IDOL isn't denying he made the statements, you wackos are!!!!!
that DOESN'T make him guilty of DV.
From the beginnings of the posts over this split up I have steadfastly maintained that Oxy is not believable.
btw... hate is an emotion. I don't hate anyone.
Posted at 6:48 PM on Sep 9, 2010 by TMZgossip
Excused me, I did not deny he didn't make any statement, I fact if you read it right, I stated I don't make excuses to Mel Gibson driving while under the influenced. Don't just glaced at it, read it properly.
I am the disputing his reports of alleged ranting by Gibson to himself.
Which he filed on reports, which was not allowed.
If all police officers are allowed to files a reports of profanities/racist remarks hurled to them on the streets while on duty, there'll be no room for those Anti-Semitic/abusive/misogynist/anti-religion/anti-Muslims/anti-gay/Anti-politicians/Anti-Asians/Anti-black people in jail.
I am not idolizing anyone, I am not one of those doe eyed gal that go gaga to celebrities and other famous dignitaries.
They just people and I would never attached myself to anyone to be famous.
I just want was it right, deputy James Mee has already ruined Mel Gibson reputations years ago and still trying to dragged his name down even though he had repented to his sins.
So before you get your balls into a knot weight down what I said. Don't you think it's really fair for you to keep bringing up his past misdemeanor till the day he die? don't you have compassionate bones in your body at all?
And for your remark about Oksana, I don't hate her, I am angry for she didn't do the right thing.
I used to enjoy reading what "sweetheart" had to say, but this "sweetheart" not so much. Someone already said that they didn't believe it was the same "sweetheart". Can someone tell me, did the old "sweetheart" ever use the word "DUDE"?
Maya 28
In #352 Sweetheart posted "nothign hapend during the arrest, and mel gibso was filmed in jal and also while arrivign at the station and a third time while being interogated and dint show out any of the things that officer mee alleged he did."
That's probably correct since Mel Gibson's breathalyzer test showed his alcohol level was only 0.12, which is 0.04 over the legal limit.That information is out there, I think it's even on wikipedia. How could anybody go wild when they're only a tiny bit over the legal limit ?
James Mee may have fabricated the entire incident.
If Mel's PR person told him to just go along with it and apologize, I think that was a mistake. He should have fought the allegations if they were false.
I really hope that all of the truth comes out ! I have never seen anyone's character assaainated by liars as much as Mel Gibson's has been.
James Mee didn't ruin Gibsons rep -- Gibson did that himself.
come on COURT CASES -- lets hear the evidence!!!!!
Posted at 7:25 AM on Sep 10, 2010 by TMZgossip
Oh to be perfect like TMZGossip.
Again I have to remind you, that was Mel Gibson first offense.
But I knew I am wasting my time, your a person whom be there cheering in front of a gallows, yes I can't wait for the court case and would like to find out whom leaked or handed the Mel Gibson dui files to TMZ, then again, we should know that no one will sing it out.
I hope justice will be served to the guilty ones and those who profits from other people bad times. As the saying goes, god works in mysterious way, we are not invincible on earth nor immortal.
tmzgossip - understand where you stand on the Mel DUI. But this case is an EMPLOYMENT suit, isn't it? It really is about the character, competence, and claims of Deputy Mee, isn't it?
There were two separate investigations into the 2006 MEL GIBSON DUI arrest. The ARRESTING OFFICER's REPORT was closely examined. One of the results was a policy the SHERIFF's department had used for years morphed into a CA statute. That LAW was directly linked to Deputy Mee and what he did both the night of the arrest AND what he said during interviews and to the media immediately following the arrest, wasn't it?
IN LA there are laws on the books and units within departments of various levels of government in CA. And there are policies in place to try and ALLOW CELEBRITIES, "HIGH PROFILE CASES" the SAME RIGHT OF PRIVACY and DUE PROCESS that regular citizens receive. (If you have followed baby Lucia's custody and support case, then you have read about DCFS's SIU) It was/is not a question of SPECIAL treatment. And it was NEVER a question of FALSIFYING A POLICE REPORT. To assert that one has to ignore police polices in force in 2006.
Deputy Mee's initial report DID NOT FOLLOW the SHERIFF's department ALREADY in PLACE rules on how to WRITE A REPORT when a CELEBRITY is involved - and remember he had been employed for 17 yrs and worked in a precinct where lots of celebrities reside! How and why he did not automatically include a supplimental report goes to the heart of the problems that he claims followed, doesn't it? So when he turned in his report his supv had to TELL him to DO IT OVER and do it RIGHT. Obviously there was NO attempt by anyone to DESTROY that first report was there? When he was asked by his supervisor to do what was expected AND WRITE THE REPORT CORRECTLY he argued didn't he? It is in the body of his lawsuit, isn't it? So he was ORDERED to do it AND HE was also ORDERED to put his initial report in a safe.
When examined by two independent reviwers, the material in his initial report with the four page narative and the corrected report with the included the supplimental report submitted to the DA were IDENTICAL. NO ONE at any time in the Sheriff's Department ALTERRED or GAGGED Deputy Mee's account of events, did they? And the DA had all the information he needed to properly handle the case. Begs the question why Deputy Mee had a problem at all, doesn't it? And because all of it was there what was/is any basis of discrimination against Mee?
But it doesn't stop there does it? REMEMBER THIS CASE IS ABOUT HOW THIS EMPLOYEE BEHAVED - HE is claiming RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION and HARASSMENT by HIS EMPLOYER. Deputy MEE was supposed to secure his initial report in a safe but apparently someone made copies of it. How did that happen? HE was the creator and the one who had custody of the report, wasn't he? What did he do wrong? Then these copies found their way to TMZ. You have mentioned inaccurately falsifying a report. What about a police officer properly SECURING HIS own REPORT? And if you want to believe he secured it in the safe then how do you explain what happened next?
Two more steps occurred didn't they? BOTH investigations found phone records between Harvey Levin and Mee's RESIDENCE, right? Begs the question who in this man's home had a relationship or multiple conversations with Mr. Levin and WHY? Considering his lawsuit made sure to note that Sgt. Finch and Mel Gibson attended the same church, I had to wonder "do Mee or any of his family/friends attend the same TEMPLE as Harvey Levin or someone else who works at TMZ? I also wondered because MIKE from TMZ talks often about his family working for the police and fire departments, if that could be a link in this chain? I also wondered about the man whose cubicle is directly behind the TMZ live shot who apparently used to be police officer. In Deputy Mee's lawsuit filing he mentions how he while at Lost Hills a long time and was "established" and "familiar" and his transfer forced him to "re-establish contacts with the public". Who in the public was he familiar? Could that be the link? Doesn't this man now open the floodgates for any and all relationships to be scrutinized again?
What I find most intriquing the dates of the conversations between Mr. Levin and someone who made calls from the Mee home have never seen the light of day, have they? I think the dates and times and lengths of those calls should be made PUBLIC. What do you think? Do we know if any preceeded the actual arrest? I also wonder about calls from anyone at that home where Mel Gibson was and Deputy Mee and TMZ. How about how long after the arrest did any calls between Mr. Levin and Deputy Mee begin? Because charges were not picked up by the DA much of the police work regarding the CRIMINAL investigation into the THEFT of Mee's initial report is unknown. THIS LAWSUIT is going to force it into the LIGHT, won't it? MEE used that arrest over and over as a basis to sue his employer so won't his actions now find their way on the record? And if this man's case fails what could be the COUNTERSUIT(s)? against MEE?
Hasn't he put a lot of people's reputations and careers in the crosshairs? When anyone sues someone shouldn't they weigh carefully all of the reputations not just their own? This man clearly has a grudge against his employer. And he apparently has no trouble throwing a lot of people under the bus -

Watch Sergeant Kevin Finch
Sgt. Tracy Palmer
Lt. Stephen
Captain Martin
WHOEVER EVALUATED & HIRED for the eight positions at the various commands/stations/departments he was denied
Internal Affairs
Whoever was hired for seven of eight positions he desired
And Deputy Mee has dredged up and mentioned Mel Gibson repeatedly in his filing, hasn't he? How long is the statute of limitation? Did anyone find it interesting that the date of the Notification to Complaintant's attorney occurred the very SAME month that ROL began to publish information from those tapes? I couldn't help but wonder IF and WHEN TMZ was approached about the tapes? Was it just coincidence? Were there any communications between TMZ and MEE around the same time? Isn't the door open to speculate if TMZ received an opportunity to use the 2010 RANT tapes if they declined because of something involving the 2006 DUI events? I do find it very interesting that authorities have as far as we know NOT been able to determine the specifics as to terms and value assigned to the TMZ published STOLEN ARREST REPORT and ROL published tape series supposedly derived from ILLEGAL recordings.
TWO last things happened back in 2006 where Deputy Mee was concerned, didn't they? Deputy Mee gave statements to various press after the arrest, didn't he? Statements by the Police usually are made by the Public Affairs officer or the CHIEF or a DETECTIVE working a case. Why was he talking at all? It was during this time the "sugar tits" comment was determined to be a phrase Deputy Mee used wasn't it? Yet in his report(s) he assigned it to Mel Gibson. Doesn't that bother you? Some have mentioned "falsifying a police report". What would you call what Deputy Mee did?
I doubt seriously calling a co-worker or a supervisor that phrase was acceptable code of conduct in 2006, do you? This man listed position after position he didn't recieve and yet if you go to the SHERIFF's employment pages you will find there was a successful lawsuit forcing the Sheriff's department to HIRE at least 20 percent females in force for most of the time period. I couldn't help but wonder as I read his lawsuit and then read the specifics about the LONE mysogonistic comment assigned to Mel Gibson during that 2006 arrest actually correctly belonged to arresting officer Mee if HIS OWN CONDUCT was why he kept getting rejected as a candidate. Considering the language he used during that arrest and his subsequent UNSATIFACTORY performance review I am puzzled how this man doesn't understand through a PAPER TRAIL how to understand HIS PART. Didn't his performance review state clearly what he did wrong? And don't folks in the LA Sheriff's department have to sign their performance reviews? I did notice that NONE of that paperwork was submitted to the court.
And this man waits until SEPT. 2010 to file any civil suit. I wonder what was in his most recent performance review? Do they happen annually in August?
His decision to go into CIVIL court instead of allowing governmental agencies to investigation OR after governmental agencies did investigate forces I HOPE this whole matter to be HIGHBEAMED! Afterall, this man worked as a public servant. He was paid with tax payer dollars. This lawsuit will cost even more tax payer dollars. Ironically he listed a position (which is frozen due to budget cuts) as part of an effort to discriminate against him -- AMAZING to me.
When I finished reading, I had one fundamental question circling - Is he ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY IRRESPONSIBLE?
I had to wonder will ANY of the defendants in this case or even MEL GIBSON at the end of this CIVIL case have grounds to SUE this man or/and possibly others personally? This man alleged his reputation has been damaged. What about all the reputations of the folks he claimed were less qualified than him?
His new attorneys may see great opportunities for themselves at every angle of this, but did Mee actually realize what he set in motion and can he afford it? There are statutory limits if this man prevails aren't there? And prevail or fail the people whom he branded as "LESS QUALIFED" have had their credentials and reputations adversely affected by his suit,haven't they? Why on earth would he or her attorneys feel it was proper to brand anyone who received a position as "LESS QUALIFIED"? I would be talking to my attorney RIGHT NOW if I was any of the seven.
I think this is a case of "sue Mel and try to get some money? Mee, too!"
Do people have NO SHAME? (Oh, sorry -- it's L.A/Malibu, I forgot...)
Popping in with two cents -
Righty-O, Mr. Mel screwed up and got busted in 2006 for DUI. He took responsibility for the rant and the arrest, went over and above his sentencing and has not been arrested since.
Four fookin' years later, people are STILL carrying on in Hollywood about racists rants. Mee's suit is based on discrimination from that arrest (despite the fact his work record is barely passable).
OMG!! Political Incorrectness! We must crucify the bastid!
Meanwhile, those same people in Hollywood who to this day still rage on what Mr. Mel SAID (just words, remember), welcome with open arms the return of Roman Polanksi who raped and sodomized a child.
Yeah, folks, ya'll got your priorities straight.
(That was sarcasm, by the way.)
TMZG -- Calm down, sweetheart, it was only 25 or so years ago. Have you lived that long?
Both times, Mr. Gibson paid the price for his crimes.
Tee hee

A video of the Shield Summit, where Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins got together in the middle of the ring during Smackdown to talk through their issues heading into Wrestlemania 30.
March 9, 2014
"I mean I started training in a shipping warehouse, and I'm in Wrestlemania XXX this year, in front of millions of people worldwide, you know? I spent a few years cutting my teeth in the Midwest, I worked for Ring of Honor, then I went down to Florida and relearned everything there. It wasn't different, but the crowds are bigger now. The paychecks are nicer, but that's not really why I do it, so it doesn't make much of a difference for me." - Seth Rollins talks about being in Wrestlemania 30
March 7, 2014
With CM Punk no longer with the company, the plan moving forward for WWE is to push John Cena and Daniel Bryan as the top two baby faces. No word yet on which one of them will be the top guy or the champion. Some were under the impression that Roman Reigns would be elevated into one of the top two spots once he does his face turn and leaves Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins behind.
March 6, 2014
There are still those backstage that are pushing for the Shield to remain together, even when Roman Reigns is split off and pushed as a singles star. Some are concerned that Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose could be lost in the shuffle without Reigns around. There were talks previously of bringing Mason Ryan up as a replacement member, but no word on whether WWE is still planning to do this.
March 6, 2014
For quite some time now, Roman Reigns has been guaranteed of a spot at Wrestlemania 30. However, it now appears that management has opted to give pay per view spots to Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose as well. After what transpired on Monday Night Raw this week, it appears that management will indeed go through with the triple threat idea after all.
March 4, 2014
There are talks that Big Show will be returning on Monday Night Raw this week, as the former world heavyweight champion was working live events for WWE over the weekend. He teamed up with Kofi Kingston to take on Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. No word yet on who he will be working with when he returns, but there are talks that WWE wants him on Wrestlemania 30.
March 2, 2014
Initially, there were plans to make Wrestlemania 30 a huge night for Roman Reigns, but as of late, it appears that WWE is struggling backstage with how to actually pull that off. Some are still pushing for the triple threat match against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, while others want to put him in a filler tag team match against Luke Harper and Erick Rowan.
March 1, 2014
During the Smackdown taping, it was announced that there would be a big Elimination Chamber 2014 rematch on Monday Night Raw featuring Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan taking on Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. The belief is that this is being done to further the friction between Ambrose and Reigns.
February 26, 2014
One of the reasons why Jason Jordan and Mason Ryan are being phased out as a tag team is because WWE wants the latter to be utilized as a singles wrestler again, in preparations of being called up to the main roster. The idea of him joining Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins as a replacement for Roman Reigns is still on the table.
February 26, 2014
In an extremely exciting six man tag team match at Elimination Chamber 2014, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan were able to claim victory over Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins.

Chiang Mai Mega Mayhem
... where another guide was having his group snort something like herbs and pepper to "clear their minds". "It's completely natural!" they said. After lunch were elephants! I was absolutely astonished by their size in person. I struggled trying to balance on his neck, and his ears smacked my legs with every step. The elephant ride led along a dirt road and through a river. Our elephant decided he was hot and started to spray himself (and me) with the muddy water. I was ...
I cant sell you a ticket, but I know a man who can
... 12 hour train journey during the day where the a/c hardly worked and we were both ill afterwards you can understand our trepidation. At 8am sharp everyone in the station stood up and faced a portrait of the king to sing the national anthem. The train left Bangkok 20minutes late, but the seats were comfy, the a/c worked very well and each carriage had 2 stewardess' who would bring drinks, rolls and a small meal down the aisle much as you would get on a plane, all as part of the ...
They did it their way
... more like a physio session than a massage as they stretched, twisted and pressed against pressure points around our body. The pulling of the fingers and toes until they clicked was also very enjoyable. The worst part came when they sat us up with our legs crossed and seemed to put us in some sort of a wrestling hold and then began to gently rock our torso left and right. This seemed fine and fairly relaxing until the third rock when the woman quickly and sharply twisted our torso, ...
Watch out for the new master thai chefs
... he had polished his off without even giving me a taste... charming. I was still nice enough to share mine around, mainly because I was full, I don't normally share my food!
By this point we were all so full and we still had two courses left. We needed a breather to make room for the main course of the day.... the big thai curry. A couple of the group opted for a Chiang Mai curry which took a long time to prepare so whilst they were doing that we got ...
... thai. The perfect night. We wake early to pack and catch our flight. We arrive in chiang Mai and get a cab to the hostel. The hostel has separated beds with walls which is great for privacy but not good for meeting people. I feel like I have to whisper every word I say which is a big transition from Tuptim where Rachel and I would laugh, play and sing along to music. I'm excited for chiang Mai and have high expectations. Tomorrow, ...

Flashlights are portable lighting you keep in your car, garage, and any room in your home
Flashlights are great for keeping on-hand when you need extra light when working around the house in any dark corners or rooms, where work area lights won't reach or won't be appropriate. Although work area lights can be portable lights, too, flashlights are more lightweight and can be stored all over your house and in your car. Flashlights are meant to be used anywhere: when the lights go out in your home or your car stalls on the side of the road, when you go camping, when you need to see in the attic or when you're plugging in wires behind your television. Work area lights, however, do not have the same versatility. That's why it's important to have at least one flashlight in your home and in your car.
Sears carries flashlights of every size and power needed. From LED to krypton, incandescent, halogen and fluorescent, Sears has a variety of flashlights to get you through any project or event that needs extra lighting. Flashlights can come in many different sizes, from large flashlights with long handles to small pocket-sized to hand held lanterns. Sears carries flashlights brands that you can trust to last, including Craftsman, Maglite, Dorcy and other brands you trust. You can always use your flashlights when working on a project in the garage, but you'll need an extra set of hands to hold it, and that's why Sears has work lights you can hang or place that will provide a wider range of light, so you'll see more while working.
While flashlights and work lights are practical lighting equipment to have in your home, you might want small lighting outside. Sears has solar lights to light up your walkway or to have as a decorative figurine outside your front door or in your garden. These solar lights gather has much sunlight during the day and turn on at dusk, providing as much light as it can from the energy absorbed during the day. While you might consider planting flashlights along your pathway to lead guests to the front door, Sears has solar lanterns you can easily install on both sides of the walkway to get a similar and more aesthetically pleasing affect.
You'll want to be ready in those times of emergency when you don't have power at home or in your car, so prepare yourself by grabbing a flashlight from Sears today.

Judge Vesna Adamovic in Belgrade said she questioned the Bosnian Serb general before his extradition to The Hague, and he testified that the weapons -- a hunting rifle and four pistols -- found in his home belonged to him, the Tanjug news agency reported.
The judge suspended the case against the general's wife Bosiljka, and said the government will bear the court costs.
Bosiljka Mladic did not appear in court Wednesday.
Ratko Mladic is accused of war crimes during the Balkan wars of the 1990s, including the massacre of up to 8,000 Muslim men and boys in July 1995 in Srebrenica and the prolonged siege of Sarajevo.
He was captured in May after 16 years as a fugitive.

As we approach Father's Day, here are a few thoughts on the importance of being an active, engaged dad during the "in the home years." We never get them back. Excerpt from "Man on the Run" by Zeke Pipher The Most Important Quarter A man may get seventy, perhaps eighty years, on this earth before his last sunset.

"Thanks, Farmers!" – From Sportsmen
I think many sportsmen are farmers at heart. They've simply missed their calling. Think about it: farmers love being outside, alone with their thoughts. They live for overcoming weather, equipment, and wildlife. And they find a great satisfaction in providing food for themselves and others. Is that not the same soul of a sportsman? This past fall, on a crisp, breezy November afternoon, I sat in a tree stand along a cut bean field. Across my field, on the other side of the road, a seasoned … [Read more...]
New Year's Resolution #1
Let's make something other than body fat our focus in 2013. If you're like me, you're doing a lot of reflecting on your life this time of the year. As I think of my hopes for 2013, many of my "resolutions" have been sparked by one verse in the Old Testament: Daniel 6:4 "Then the high officials and the satraps sought to find a ground for complaint against Daniel with regard to the kingdom, but they could find no ground for complaint or any fault, because he was faithful, and no … [Read more...]
Sorry Bob Costas, I Disagree.
Sorry, Bob. I disagree. First of all, let me say that I'm every bit as sad and discouraged as Bob Costas by the Jovan Belcher situation. However, I'm also sad because we're in a day in which a sportscaster feels he should use his platform to act the part of a cultural expert, giving commentary on one of the deepest moral and social issues of our times. By pinning this tragic shooting on guns, Costas trivialized the Jovan Belcher situation. See video below: Don't misunderstand me. … [Read more...]
Bowhunting & Debating – Paul Ryan Makes The Connection!
If you like to hunt and fish, you've got to admire a politician who approaches a debate like he approaches a morning in a treestand. Let me just say, if I were a whitetail or a politician...I wouldn't want to wander into Ryan's territory. Henry David Thoreau wrote: "There is a period in the history of the individual, as of the race, when the hunters are the 'best men,' as the Algonquins called them. We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more humane, while his … [Read more...]

He made it feel that we were the honored guests for the following two hours. Knowing about his life and ministry has reminded me that … [Read more...]
Hmmmm…A Sportsman Vice President
In three months we might have a sportsman for our vice president, and that thought thrills me. But I'm aware that it confuses many. Those who don't hunt and fish tend to struggle with those who do. A man asked me two weeks ago, "Doesn't it bother you that your favorite sports involve taking lives?" That's a fair question, and because a sportsman has now been thrust into the political spotlight, I'd like to present a few thoughts about this odd activity that many of us enjoy. … [Read more...]

Broncos lose Kuper

02:08 PM ET 11.05 | Carted from the field in the second half of a key win over Cincinnati, Denver Broncos offensive lineman Chris Kuper reportedly suffered a severe left ankle sprain on Sunday, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post. Though his exact timetable will be clearer following Monday's MRI, the 29-year-old Kuper is still expected to miss a good chunk of time on the field. Named Denver's starting right guard heading into Week 6, Kuper has been completely unable to shake the injury bug over the last calendar year. The 6'4, 303-pound lineman dislocated the same left ankle in Denver's regular season finale last January, and then suffered a broken forearm during training camp that forced him to miss the entire preseason
His helmet kept flying off.... Maybe he should tighten his shoes too.
Sounds like he is carrying more weight than his peripheral bone structure will support. I wonder how that happens.
