Steven Seagal:
- Jon Jones denies Seagal pre-fight access!
"I didn't think that would be a good idea," Jones added. "My training staff works very hard on me and I'm their prodigy and I don't want to disrespect them by welcoming someone else's master into our room, into our house, into my family."
- Seagal to star in Under Siege III.
"Basically I am good at playing bad guys," Seagal tells fifties film critic Mark Kermode tonight on Sky Four's 'A La Kermode'. "Even when I was playing a good guy, I was bad. So when the opportunity came along to play a lead role and be bad, I thought: 'that's good'."
- Cage Potato breaks down Seagal's post UFC 135 interview.
Our friends Karyn Bryant from MMA H.E.A.T. and Ariel Helwani from MMAFighting caught up with Sensei Seagal before and after the event, respectively, and let's just say old cockpuncher had a few yarns to spin.
(Prime) Chuck Norris:
- The Rare One is confirmed for an appearance in The Expendables II!
That's easy: it's Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme appearing in The Expendables 2.
The News:
- One martial artist is living his dream.
Foody's resume is already impressive. He has the designation of American Eagle MMA Black Belt and Goju-Ryu Karate Black Belt.
- After the last Olympics taekwondo upgrades its rules.
In addition to revamping how attacks are scored, taekwondo officials have also changed the rules to make fights more entertaining for fans: Players now score more points for fancy kicks to the head.
- One karate cop also teaches!
The 50-year-old, who started karate training 27 years ago, has set up South Yorkshire Shotokan Karate – and runs classes at the Niagara Sports and Social Club in Wadsley, Sheffield, as well as new lessons at the Revolution Gym on Bridgegate, Rotherham.
- An aikido master shares his knowledge.
"Most martial arts are offensive in nature, whereas Aikido is strictly defensive," he said. "We may do some forms of punches and kicks, but really as a form of deception."
- Nicolas Cage uses verbal judo after some nut breaks in!
The strange man in his bedroom "was totally naked. He was wearing my leather jacket. He was eating a Fudgesicle. He was staring at me. I got up out of the bed. I put my jeans on and I chased him into the bathroom.
If only I had a dollar for every time this happened at the Patterson household…
- Check out this video of a karate kick going wrong!
Karate Expert Matthew Mounce appears in this exclusive sneak peek, which features an ill-fated roundhouse kick. "That second kick, I'm sorry there was no way that was an accident," Mounce exclaims. "He took his jaw out!"
- He may know karate but he did not know law enforcement.
A man and his wife were approached outside a bar by a drunken man. The husband asked the man to leave them alone, which infuriated the intoxicated man to the point that he began screaming profanity and threatening to use his knowledge of martial arts against him.
Police arrived, took two knives off the drunken man and took him to jail.
- Seven seniors earn their black belts!
The seven women, aged 63 to 74, received the top ranking in the Korean martial art after passing a test at the southern Chinese city's first taekwondo class for the elderly, the South China Morning Post reported.
- One top martial artist also achieves a top cop award!
The 49-year-old senior sergeant received his full due at Hawera police station yesterday when he was given the Gordon Hogg Memorial Rosebowl as administrator of the year by the NZ Police Council of Sport.
The Blogs:
- One of my heroes, Jerry Beasley, lists his top self-defense arts!
I selected 10 systems that I've practiced and found to be self-defense worthy. It's hard to say just one art does it all. The best advice is to try them all and get in combat shape. Ultimately, it's not the art that's important; it's the individual. It's not the technique that makes the difference; it's the delivery.
- Hugh Jackman slugs a wrassler.
Looks like it was all in good fun!
- Charlie does a good job of comparing karate to kung fu. After going from TKD to kung fu I have to say that he's spot-on!
Basically, what defines a linear or circular technique is notjust whether the body rotates or not, or even if the attacking hand/foot moves in a straight or circular motion. It is how the technique is powered. A linear technique is powered by the forward inertia and momentum of the body, whilst circular technique is powered by the centrifugal force created by a rapid rotation which does not necessarily move the body forward.
- Danny discusses efficient throwing.
We talk of breaking balance in 8 directions like the points of a compass. To be more precise balance can be broken in 360 directions if we use the compass as a reference point. The issue is how do we do effectively break someone's balance?
So far, based on my "stellar" aikido skills, I should write a post on how to fall like a drunk walrus. But, I digress…
- There's a lesson in Jon Law's post that goes beyond competiton.
A critical quality of a true champion is the ability to keep fighting when the going gets tough. This never say die attitude will get the champion out of seemingly impossible situations to claim the win.
- Formosa also offers a life lesson.
In life and in business we often assume that people will upgrade to a higher quality model if one is made available but that often isn't the case.
- Michele is soliciting advice for new karate students.
"What words of advice would you give to new karate students?"
- Nicola is back to posting about martial arts!
Its been great to rejoin the sessions again as a more active participant and looking forward to this week for some light training. Etiquette Modesty Perseverance Self Control Indomitable Spirit – leave the past where it is and continue forwards.
- Martial secrets offers some valuable advice.
Kris Wilder talks with KLAY radio, The Street Wise Forum show, about the new book with Lawrence Kane called; How To Win A Fight. Lawrence Kane couldn't make it as he was… actually working security at the time!
- Zimmer provides self-defense advice for pedestrians.
So in the video a guy was walking along the sidewalk and got hit by a car. My guess is drugs or alcohol may have been involved but so what? I mean what does the guy that was hit care the reason?
- And here I thought that my homemade mook jong was "rustic."
After a brutally hot summer the last few weekends have brought nice, mild weather here in VA, and what better way to enjoy it than working duck-to-counter setups on the training contraptions in the back yard…
The Videos:
The first find comes from Colin's TKD blog. Here Colin uses old-school TKD to address how he would deal with aikido's shomen uchi. The flavor of TKD that I practiced was somewhat newer so I never had to learn Toi-Gye. Regardless, I believe this is what he is referring to.
Since I am now fumbling through aikido I really appreciate his post. In the last few months I can't tell you the number of times I have wanted to just blast straight through!
…which means rather than slipping past and turning the opponent around us, we plough more or less straight into the opponent and apply forward pressure to oncoming strike.
Here's another version of Shomen Uchi Iriminage, courtesy of Colin!
The second video makes my side bar and is courtesy of Wim. I'm a big fan of Bas Rutten! He offers practical and realistic self-defense advice and he also has a sense of humor. I'd love to see Bas get in the ring with Seagal!
Got a martial arts blog? If so consider joining my Martial Arts Toplist!

France midfielder Mathieu Valbuena has confirmed that he intends to remain at Marseille this summer, despite reported interest from Arsenal.
Valbuena, 27, was one of the few Marseille players to emerge with credit from a disappointing season which saw the traditional powerhouse finish in 10th position in Ligue 1.
A long-time target for Arsenal, Valbuena has two years remaining on his current contract in France and insists he has no plans to leave the club this summer.
"I will remain faithful. I did not want to leave the club like that, finishing tenth. I am very much attached to the club. It's hard to leave. There are disadvantages to that but benefits too," Valbuena told L'Equipe.
"Even without the Champions League next season can be exciting. At Marseille we cannot talk about transitionary seasons, but there is everything to succeed. I feel good even if that is a bit contradictory with the season we have just had."
Valbuena has been included in France's 23-man squad for the upcoming European Championship in Poland and Ukraine.

Free $50 Best Buy gift card with iPod Touch purchase
If you're considering buying a new 32GB iPod Touch (fifth generation), this offer makes some sense because Apple products just don't get discounted. Target is also offering a gift card ($40) with the purchase of an iPod Touch.
Verdict: Mildly hot
The good: The 2012 fifth-generation iPod Touch has an excellent set of features: better front and back cameras, 1080p video recording, iOS 6, and a 4-inch Retina Display just like on the iPhone 5, in a design even thinner than the iPhone.
The bad: The iPhone 5 still beats it on performance. The Touch lacks any phone functions, and there are tablet competitors that beat the $299 Touch on price and screen size.
The bottom line: The latest iPod Touch is the best iPod ever, and as close to a phoneless iPhone 5 as you can get -- but its high price makes it a tough call versus cheaper tablets with larger screens.

I don't see any ethical problems with it as long as they treat the creatures well. In the world we live in, ethics must be proportional to the society, so I think we have bigger ethical issues which should be solved first (such as the destruction of the environment in the name of high standard of living at the expense of all life on the planet, including future generations of humans).
One real danger from this project is that the technology ends up as bioweapons or accidental outbreaks of really though and deadly bugs.
Permalink Mon, 24 May 2010 13:15:05 UTC | #472971
As PZ Myers points out, the "tough, deadly bug" objection is probably not worth worrying about, as "new" bacteria brought about in this fashion will not be very competitive - they won't have the benefit of millions of years of selection for hardiness and whatnot.

As interesting as the possibility of resurrecting that which is dead and gone is, I'm much more excited by the potential to create that which never was.
I suspect that we will see this technique used sooner rather than later for vaccines, insulin production, and protein synthesis of all types. Not long after, it will be the preferred method for nanotechnology fabrication, I should think. Materials scientists must be drooling more than any of Pavlov's dogs ever did.
And just think of the research possibilities! Want to know what a certain stretch of the genome does? Simple — just write out every possible combination of sequences, including those that do an don't occur in the wild.
This could also pave the way to all sorts of therapeutic treatments. If you've got Type I diabetes, it's now conceivable that your genome could be sequenced, the error fixed, the DNA re-inserted into de-nucleated pancreatic cells, and…well, you get the idea.
But, for me, the most profound aspect of this experiment is that, for the first time in billions of years, there is a true living alien on this planet. Every living cell of every living organism is the direct result of the division of the last universal ancestor; we are all cousins.
But not any more!
The chain of life, intact since not long after the formation of the planet, has finally been broken. It was showing signs of weakness; Dolly represented an unmistakable fracture. But Venter has actually broken it — and he and many others will proceed to smash it to bits. Indeed, it's entirely conceivable that somebody reading these words the same day I type them will someday fall in love with a person who isn't a cousin.
And won't that just blow the minds of those who so desperately cling to Bronze Age superstition!

This is all heady stuff. In terms of tinkering with nature to produce an organism that would not have arisen otherwise, this is surely nothing new. Since the inception of agriculture, animal domestication, husbandry and the manipulation of the environment to suit, new forms of animals and plant have been wrought from original stocks. Whilst this new post-genomic synthetic phase of emergent research utilizes technology inconceivable at the time, surely the intent is the same. As for the recombination of desirable aspects of a genome with our own, surely we are a long way off. Richard's quote, "give or take some epigenetic mark-ups" belies the fact that our understanding of genomic regulation is far from adequate.
Permalink Mon, 24 May 2010 16:40:51 UTC | #473039
One of the biggest things this opens up is an unprecedented research environment exactly to understand genomic regulation.
One of the first things Venter's team will do, I'm sure, is figure out the bare minimum genome necessary to create a viable organism. Once that is achieved, the path to adding on exactly what is desired is very straightforward: create a different cell for each possible combination of DNA sequences for a given coding region, and see what happens.
What this has done is obsolete all the fumbling ham-fisted techniques we're currently used to. It's like we've jumped, from making arrowheads by banging together pieces of flint, straight to a modern computerized milling machine.

Yes, that's the sound of my lower jaw hitting the floor. Commence the homeopathic longevity treatments immediately Professor Dawkins... we're going to need a few level heads on this crazy planet.
In fact, I propose we cross Richard's DNA with Pope Ratzi's, and thus produce the ultimate test of religion versus science. When this young man is 18 years of age, he is given a choice:
A) A comfortable existence as a brilliant, successful science writer, including a beautiful Hollywood starlet/artist for his spouse, honors and accolades galore from his adoring fans, the freedom to wander the globe as a respected, honest intellectual, and, perhaps most enticingly, a brand new bicycle, including a lovable, devoted, fluffy white pooch riding shotgun in the wicker basket attached to the handlebars...
B) Complete abstinence from sex, or carnal pleasure, of any variety whatsoever, a daily eight hour regimen of silent prayer surrounded by grunting, flatulent, child-molesting troglodytes, and a funny hat.
I do like our chances.

It was James Watson who had his entire genome if I recall, printed out on a huge roll of paper. It certainly looked impressive but a CD or DVD (no idea what the size in MB or GB would be) would be more portable.
It's a scary thought that a person could be sequenced and eventually meet a more youthful version of themselves. Shouldn't there be some kind of copyright rule, that each individual has a right to be the sole possessor of their genome at least until death? How many modifications could be made before the copyright no longer applies though?
If intermediate species are going to be produced, I imagine the ethical complications will be even more horrendous. It seems the day the genie escapes the bottle may not be too far off.

The scientific insights to be gained from re-creating neanderthals and other hominids are intriguing, perhaps exciting is a better word. There are serious ethical questions. Given that we would not be able to provide a realistic natural environment for them in the light of our policy of environmental exploitation of any species but our own. In any case, Neanderthals shared a natural environment with us, perhaps they can adjust with the same psychoses to urban life? Individual cloning would be a non starter, sufficient for a community is the bottom line. Presumably we would look to models of other primates in captivity for a suitable environment. Neanderthals would probably be the most problematic in ethical terms as they have a brain size the same or in excess of our own. I detect a consensus among anthropologists that Neanderthals were as intelligent but just different from us. I wonder, given a second chance if neanderthals might be more successful in their co-existence with Sapiens. But the biggest ethical question in the light of the introduction of new or renewed species is how we limit and reverse our own explosive population.

Comment 13 by Degsy
With regard to a minimal genome (a prokaryotic one), I thought strides had been made previously using Mycoplasma genitalium, a commensal bacteria found in the urogenital system. It contains around 600 genes if I recall. By using 'knockout' techniques, the consensus was that a minimal genome of 250-260 genes was necessary for life. To my knowledge, nothing similar has been done with eukaryotic cells and the world of epigenetics (chromatin and histone modification, non-coding RNAs etc.) has revealed a hitherto unknown genetic world at play. Whilst I appreciate the technology at our disposal represents a seismic shift in potential genetic 're-engineering', this newly discovered world of regulatory processes means that the elucidation of sequence data, admittedly of paramount importance, is only one element of a multi-faceted genetic inner space. Certainly I am in favor of such research, but I am always trying to be aware of its limitations. The one thing scientists are guilty of at times is overstatement, especially with regard to new advances. Certainly Venter deserves the success concomitant with such original and daring work, but remember, once such findings are published and in the public domain, in reality, that is the start of the peer review process.

For the last year or so I have been telling my religious friends that this was about to happen. Now, we have the first living creature that deserves to be called a creature (really was created), and the necessity of divine intervention for life from lifelessness has been falsified.
Of course, what he has could be made by piecewise steps of adding and subtracting parts of the DNA strand from a natural organism; there is nothing intrinsically more dangerous by Venter's one step DNA replacement. Thus, while a big thing from the life from lifelessness standpoint, the end result is not so far from what can be done by bioengineers in many other labs. A big leap would have been the replacement of the genetic code itself going for, perhaps, a four or five base-span tRNA and associated ribosomes with a vastly expanded library of amino acids to choose among (perhaps some with inorganic side chains).
The full DNA replacement does, however, help people understand the organisms as machines in the way they might understand manufactured machines. Yes, it is true, if you had the genome data you could start doing all kinds of nanotechnology by programming these machines. I expect someone to craft a genome that allows real time modification of the genome by flashing laser pulses of coded wavelength at the organism. Then you could have a programmable organism that could test new sequences faster than ever envisioned. I also expect that modified cells can be programmed to handle new materials, atom by atom, to do some of the nano-construction that has been envisioned in the last couple of decades. Presumably, the public would quickly see the benefit of producing single celled plants that extract salt from saltwater or that take carbon atoms out of the air (from CO2) and build carbon nanotubes that can be harvested for the building materials of the future.
Bottom line: An historic point; brace yourself for what comes next.

I remember reading that one man had lost the copyright to his own genome because a corporation that was using him as a test subject copyrighted it first. I havent been able to find that story on the web or remember where I read that, but I did find this:

I expect there will be a company that will do the same thing for general public customers within 20yr. The cost for sequencing is supposed to be very high right now, but it will quickly drop.

The cost of full sequencing is already low and going lower (see this project). The cost of synthesis is low per base pair, which makes it in reach for a single gene, but still high for something as advanced as a full eukaryotic cell genome because the number of base pairs is so large.

Comment 23 by William T. Dawkins
We all play God!
Humans are creativity personified. Survival requires our causal agency in an environment. Aspirations to understand and master our existences are not new, its a trait. Now however! Evolution has rendered us the ability to discover and synthesize nature herself, to devise and perhaps co-evolve with synthetic life, to recombine the aspects of a genome and even create new forms of life. Have we crossed the line or erased it? These life forms will not be descendants of the common ancestor of Darwinian evolution nor from a godlike or mythical beginning. A new mountain has arisen on our moral landscape. In what manner will the divided ethical waters of this quandary flow? We must decide!
The birth of micoplasma laboratorium now referred to as Synthia by Dr.Craig Venter, brings genomic regulation to the forefront. Science and Philosophy have been addressing these issues since the concept was introduced. Now that synthetic evolution is a reality, the critical peer review process will begin, research possibilities, industry standards, control and regulation, as well as ethical and legal consequences must be addressed. Currently, the synthetic life forms have coded watermarks for identification and nothing created can live outside the lab. Justifiably, vexations exists for things like: unethical humans, bioterrorism, biological warfare, technology in servitude to the State, exploitation and a rush towards industrial opportunities and capitalism, corporate ownership, copyrights, counter measures, biological ecosystems, taxonomies and many other issues. Computational Biology; using genetic algorithms and other formulas to imitate Synthetic Evolution before initiation may play a big role here.
As expected, religion also hopes to interject its values into the debate as well. To believers, religious opinion may seem very applicable, They shout "Scientists are playing God!" In truth, this assertion cannot and should not ever become relevant. The supernatural has no place here! Why? The genome itself, if realized properly, indicates that all current life on Earth, except Synthia, has derived from a single ancestor. Evolution is a self-evident fact! Divine intervention for life is not essential and never was. It is myth! The code that is life on Earth can now be copied, broadcast and disseminated into the macrocosm. The ethical waters will eventually stratify and level. Do we need societal debate or regulatory oversight? Yes! All people and maybe future life forms, should have the right to express their concern for the utilization of this technology, as long as it is based on evidence, verifiable fact and reality. As with all new invention, the ethics will also evolve along with it.
Synthetic Evolution is a revolution! The beneficial significance of this research together with nanotechnology and other disciplines are tremendous! Great visions of life in the past, present and the future can now be realized. Richard Dawkins has suggested such things as; Charles Darwin Jr., re-creating Neanderthals, new or renewed species, hybrids, genetic errors fixed by recombination of the desirable aspects of a genome, a more healthy and youthful version of yourself, artificial life programs and many other equally exciting things. Craig Venter suggests; therapeutic treatments, renewable energy, alternative energy, programmable organisms and new life that does not even exist yet. Extremophiles which could live and survive in areas humans cannot. The possibilities are endless! With additional epigenetic advances we may even resurrect the dead and restore their past memories. "Who gets the benefits, and who bears the risks?" Time will decide the fate of this resource. Hope I am there to see it.
Best Regards,
William T. Dawkins v 1.0

"...and so it was discovered that the resurrection of Jesus was false. Then in the time of the discovering the archaeologists did unearth the bones of the christ and knew they that they were of no other. Whereupon the Dawkins, son of Clinton and the Venter known as J Craig did set upon the marrow of these holy relics, resurrecting through gods revealed process called cloning the body of the Christ whereupon Jesus did smite them thereby phulphilling prophecy according to scripture.... ---Nostradamus from the codex of 1532.

My first reaction to this news was "concerned". But the more I read, the more I realise that what has been done is merely (I know... "merely" isn't the right word, but you know what I mean when I finish the sentence)to copy an existing example of DNA and substitute it into a cell instead of the original DNA. Not surprising, then, that it performed in the same way as the original. I am not belittling the achievement, but nor does it demonstrate the creation of an artificial species. When a scientist is able to make a reproducing creature from his own design of DNA - now, that will be something to get excited about. At the moment, as I see it, we are no further forward (and do we want to be further forward?) than perhaps being able to imitate the random variations that enable species to change via natural selection. The outcomes of such variations, even if carefully designed and built in the laboratory, will surely be unpredicatble. Or am I being naive and sounding uneducated? (I am a Physicist, not an evolutionary biologist, but the subject is fascinating!).

Re27,keithyhawk. Yes, I too, when reading between the lines of the news media, concluded that life has not really been created because a bacterium with life already present had its DNA replaced by a human designed DNA. A noteworthy step for science indeed but NOT the creation of life yet, unless I am mistaken?

I can see some good science fiction coming from this, like Carl Sagan did when he put many of his ideas into the novel Contact.
Instead of sending us plans for a transporter, as in Contact, we might simply transmit genomes at light speed. Then either side could simply create a living being w/o the need to travel through wormholes. Think of all the ethical problems this could entail.
Combine this with Ray Kurzweil's ideas on downloading our minds to a computer and we could even send full blown human blueprints with adult minds.
I recall an outer limits show on this idea, where clones were created on the other end - but they needed to destroy the original to balance the equation.
Add in all the spice of governments, religions, and corporations, and we could have a blockbuster novel.
The only question is whether fiction will outpace reality.

Comment 30 by PERSON
Comment 3 by JS1685 The problem isn't so much the synthorgs themselves as genetic transfer to other organisms in ways that couldn't normally happen. The added effect may be harmless, but remember those silver foxes and the precursor to the flagellum: genes don't provide a single function. Determining the full set of uses in all genetic contexts for a given gene or set of genes must be extremely difficult if not impossible.
Venter himself has said letting these things get into the wild would be extremely dangerous, though I don't know what his reasoning is.
One context in which it would be safe is one in which there is no life now. There may be a range of places in the solar system where that is true but which have the potential to support some form of life.
Comment 27 by keithyhawk Consider this the "Hello, world!" of synthetic genomics.
referred to as Synthia by Dr.Craig Venter Synthia isn't his coinage. I get the impression he doesn't like it hearing him speak about it in that Channel Four News interview.

Yui Yuigahama was the Service Club's first official 'customer', whom later becomes the third member of the club.
Yui is a teenage girl with shoulder length pink hair, in which a small portion of, is worn in a small bun on the right side of her head. She has brown eyes and fair skin.
Yui is a cheerful and outgoing girl; even when she's sad or upset she always has a smile on in public. It is also shown that she hides her true feelings towards other people.

Hachiman HikigayaEdit
It is shown that Yui seems to harbor romantic feelings for Hachiman - calling him "Hikki" in an affectionate manner, much to the latter's annoyance. Hachiman was the one who saved her dog on the first day of their new semester, leaving him injured and hospitalized. Always acting open and cheerful towards him, they seem to get along quite nicely though Yui sometimes finds Hachiman's personality and distorted view of youth annoying.
After Hachiman bluntly rejects Yui's friendly care towards him, due to him knowing that Yui was the owner of the dog he saved, which he thought was the root of her nice and sweet attitude she expresses to him, Hachiman sent Yui into tears.
Yukino YukinoshitaEdit
Even with Yukino's cold and brash personality, Yui still sees the latter as a dependable friend - affectionally calling her "Yukinon" and sometimes hugging the latter when feeling thankful towards her. She also views her straightforward personality and harsh honesty as 'cool'[1].
"I'm not a slut! I'm still a virg- never mind!"
- Yui's given name is also present in her family name. Four other characters share this characteristic: Yukino, Saki, Rumi, and Meguri.
- Her dog's name is Sablé.

Dell planning a 19-inch notebook
Dell, HP, Acer, Apple and others will substantially increase their orders for widescreen notebooks at their Taiwanese contract manufacturers (who produce most of the world's notebooks) in 2006, DigiTimes further stated.
For years, predictions about the limit to notebook screen sizes have been launched and failed. Toward the turn of the century, the practical limit was considered 14-inches; A 15-inch screen was thought of as something that only gadget guys would buy. Now it's the typical size.
The 17-inch screens, however, are pushing the boundaries of portable. HP's Jim McDonnell, who has said HP will likely come out with 20-inch screen notebooks one day, has noted that most of these machines never leave the house.

Like all cricket lovers, I was shocked to learn of the allegations about match fixing. They reminded me of that sad period during the 1950s when Eastern betting syndicates turned their attentions to British council by-elections. All over the country, candidates stood with the sole intention of losing û and some pretty fruity leaflets were issued as a result.
Things came to a head in a contest at Weston-Super-Mare, where the candidates of all three major parties were clearly doing their best to be defeated. In the event, they were trumped by an Independent Ratepayer, who was given 14 days without the option at the subsequent court case, but at least the authorities were finally compelled to act.
In those days, of course, local by-elections still fell under the aegis of the Marylebone Cricket Club, and at first-rate job they made of it. If they succeed in sorting out this Pakistani no-ball business, then I would be in favour of scrapping the Electoral Commission and putting them back in charge. After all, whom would you rather see entrusted with our democratic system: some faceless bureaucrat or Derek Underwood?
I am sorry to hear that Menzies Campbell has got himself caught up in this ôblood diamondsö business in Central Africa û it seems so out of character.
I can only assume that Elspeth put him up to it.
It was against my better judgement when I agreed to review Tony BlairÆs A Journey for the High Leicestershire Radical, and my doubts were by no means assuaged when I finally plucked up the courage to open the thing. It was not long before I passed it over to the Well-Behaved Orphans to be turned into paper darts. (This will not, of course, prevent my reviewing it).
One paragraph I did read caused me no little worry. In it, Blair reported that the animosity of his Chancellor was so great that it led him to have ôa stiff whisky or G&T before dinner, and a couple of glasses of wine or even half a bottle with itö.
Really, if a man is off his drink to that extent, he is clearly in poor health and unfit to hold a great office of state. I think the Queen should have Said Something.
The discerning reader û and I like to think that all my readers fall into that category û will have noticed that, of late, I have eschewed my customary format as a diarist. These days, rather than label the entries Monday, Tuesday and so forth, I simply (as we used to say at Rutstock) ôlet it all hang outö.
My thinking is this: some days are simply not terribly interesting. Today is a good example: after fielding a phone call from Clegg in Afghanistan (ôSay we are turning the corner,ö I told him. ôOf course we are not, but that is what our politicians always tell people when they go over thereö). I attended to an emergency on the Bonkers Hall Estate Railway. This is not, of course, the standard gauge branch that runs from Market Harborough, but the narrow gauge system that carries crops, fertiliser and stray Orphans about the old demesne. In all honesty, it has rather a variable gauge and that, I suspect, is what was behind today's derailment.
By the time The First Lady Bonkers had been set to rights, it was time to have my bath drawn and then attend a performance of BelliniÆs Norman Baker at the Royal Opera House, Oakham.
So you see, there was simply nothing to write about today.
You will by now, I am sure, have bought your new Liberator songbook. In my introduction, I mention LiverpoolÆs important role in popular music and my own visit to its famous Cavern Club.
I fear, however, that I was forced for reasons of space to omit a rather shameful detail. You see, I misheard the location of that club and wasted two days looking for it in Hartlepool before I realised my mistake. In my defence, I have to say that I thought it sounded unlikely even at the time.
The moral of this story is that it is a false economy not to have your ear trumpet serviced regularly.
I hate to say it, but I fear that being elected Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats has gone to the head of my old friend the Revd Hughes. Not a day goes past without his issuing a statement saying the party will not stand for this or will not stand for that. Now, I am the first to admit that he is the Soundest of Liberals, but since when did being Deputy Leader make one such a big cheese?
It happens that I was once myself elected as Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party and did not find out about it until a good two years afterwards. Even when I did learn of my rank, I did not go around telling Baldwin to watch his step or Ramsay MacDonald to pull his socks up.
Nobody, I had to remind the Revd Hughes after Divine Service the other day, likes a swank. The time may well have come, I judge, for our Deputy Leader to be elected by the party as a whole and not just our MPs û stout men and, indeed, women as they all are.
That said, I should undoubtedly have put my X next to the Revd Hughes rather than that of that Farron fellow from the Lakes who is, by all accounts, a great admirer of C.S. Lewis. Well, it happens that I knew Lewis, and I always found him Distinctly Odd.
Anyway, I know FarronÆs sort: let him into St AsquithÆs and in no time he would have sold the pews for firewood, painted over the mural of Nancy Seear Defending her Honour Against the Invading Socialists and got us singing ôShine, Jesus, Shineö while he plays the guitar.
Well, we don't like That Sort of Thing here in Rutland.
I met a member of Liberals Against Choice in Westminster the other day. He thrust a leaflet advertising the groupÆs fringe meeting into my hand, saying proudly: ôWeÆve got a civil servant coming.ö ôWhat is he talking about?ö I replied cagily. ôSome of these fellows can be awfully dull.ö ôOh heÆs not talking,ö came the reply. ôHeÆs just going to stand there so we can look at someone who works for the state. I am hoping I can have my photograph taken with him!ö
At this point I hailed a taxi, ejected its fare and made my escape.

Obama 'Threatens' Israel to Accept Peace Terms
Monday, March 03, 2014 | Ryan Jones, Israel News
Israel's mainstream media on Monday viewed US President Barack Obama's recent interview with Bloomberg as a direct threat that the Jewish state had better accept America's Middle East peace proposal, or else.
In the interview, held in the Oval Office last Thursday, Obama appeared to lay all the blame for the lack of a peace deal with the Palestinians squarely on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's shoulders.

When we take a look back at scripture, and the immoral behavior of those living in Sodom and Gomorrah, we find everything that is taking place today with the sexual immoral behavior, as it was back in those days. So what can we truly expect from God if he destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah?
36 Scriptures that clarify a pre trib rapture
By Daymond Duck.
We found this article on a Facebook page, and wanted to share it with you here..EXCELLENT resource!!
Putin is Unshaken…Introducing Gog.
Russia has long been mistaken as Magog for centuries…Modern day scholars point that according to manuscripts, Magog is modern day Turkey, and Gog along with Rosh, is Russia and Asia Minor. So, with Russia showing much aggression,where is the Turkey and the Israel connection with all of this if we are seeing the possible stages of Ezekiel 38 and 39 come to pass with Russia's invasion of Ukraine?
Can the U.S. Do More to Prevent International Crises?
It's a scary world out there.
Thousands of Russian troops have amassed on its border with Ukraine in response to the ongoing political turmoil there. More than 140,000 people have died in the brutal fighting that continues in the streets of Syria, largely at the hand of the Russian-backed regime. The U.S. has frozen much of its military aid to Egypt after a de facto military coup last summer that ousted its democratically-elected president, leaving the door open for what appears to be a multibillion dollar military deal with Russia.
From Libya and Iran to Somalia and North Korea, threats are popping up across the world, and many are pointing a finger at an absence of American leadership as the culprit…so..is cutting our military budget to a 75 year low a good idea?..Have we entered a new phase of birth pangs according to Jesus..or can we realistically say that the parable of the woman in travail has now reached the "sudden destruction" phase?
Attention Churches of America…and of Branch County, Michigan…are YOU going to fall for this?
Lately, Churches from across the country and in our local area have fallen for a deception so simple, it boggles my mind. Across the Country, it is the deception of "Unity in the body of Christ" lead by the Catholic Church. "The protest is over" according to Tony Palmer, a leader in the Ecumenical Movement to unify the churches under Rome. Pope Francis is also campaigning for this, reaching out to Protestant Churches across the world, proclaiming UNITY…the Catholic denomination means UNIVERSAL…in other words, we are all Catholics…because in 1999, the Catholic Church and The Lutheran Denomination declared the Protest was over. Catholics NOW believe that it is by "FAITH alone that you are saved by grace..it is the gift of God..lest any man should boast.." ending the 500 year old conflict..Catholics NOW believe the same thing as EVANGELICALS….so there is no more protest..and this means NO MORE PROTESTANT CHURCHES….but is this REALLY what is being preached?

TEAMS: San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, Miami Marlins, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers
Are Dodger fans really that bad?
Yes, yes they are.
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle pointed out the subtle idiocy of Dodger fans on Twitter during Monday's game.
Many fans here booed when Kemp misplayed Melky ball, didn't reach Arias RBI single.If that's what they were booing, they're total idiots.
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) May 8, 2012
Now they're chanting "MVP, MVP" for Kemp. These really are the worst fans in baseball.
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) May 8, 2012
To be clear, I'm not criticizing fans for MVP chant, but for doing it after booing Kemp on defense.
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) May 8, 2012
Then, Dodger fans and that bastion of online journalism Deadspin took Schulman to task, saying that fans were "booing that the Giants got a hit."
Oh, ********.
In two decades of being a fan and a decade of being a journalist, I have rarely heard any fans ever boo someone 'getting a hit.' If that were true, we'd hear boos out of every stadium multiple times every game. No. They groan when the other team gets a hit. They sigh. They throw their hands and take a long sip of a too-expensive beer. But they rarely boo. If fans do boo a player for getting a hit, it's because they have something personal against said player. And I don't know if anyone has anything against Joaquin Arias. What, does he remind Dodger fans of Eugenio Velez a little too much?
No, fans boo when they're mad at their own player for misplaying balls, or pitching poorly, or for giving up. I should know. As a Giants fan, I've seen that and done that a couple of times this season, and many times in the past (I'm remembering you, Alex Sanchez and Ruben Rivera).
If Dodger fans were booing the Giants getting hits, well, I sure didn't hear them tonight.
Shut up. Dodger fans. Deadspin. Both of you. Give it up. Stop booing one of the only players on your team worth cheering when he's legitimately going above and beyond. And stop defending your fans' lack of baseball savvy. Try getting to games on time. Hint: Stop going to the 99-Cent store before every game to pick up beach balls.

Brussels Sprouts and Date Salad
Posted By Linda Capeloto Sendowski On September 14, 2011 @ 11:29 PM In Cookbook,Fresh Produce,Holidays,Rosh Hashanah,salad,Thanksgiving,Vegetarian Recipes | 1 Comment
Last week, while having lunch at the popular eatery Joan's On Third [1], I tried a roasted Brussels sprouts salad that looked very appealing in the prepared salad case. I realized, although a bit too dressed for my taste, that Brussels sprouts and dates are a great flavor combination. Here is my version. It was a great side dish with the previously posted Pomegranate Chicken last Friday night. [2]
Serves 4 to 6
1 1/ 2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, washed, dried, and cut in half
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
1/ 2 teaspoon sea salt
8 Medjool dates, pitted and cut in 1/3 inch thick circles [3]
1/2 cup roasted hazelnuts
2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1 tablespoon honey
Heat the oven to 400° F. Place prepared Brussels sprouts in a medium-large bowl. Toss them with 2 tablespoon of olive oil and sea salt. Place Brussels in a large baking dish, single layer deep and place in hot oven. Roast for about 20 to 30 minutes or until turning golden brown with some crispy leaves. Remove Brussels sprouts from baking dish, when cool, and place them back in the medium-large bowl. Add the sliced dates and hazelnuts to the bowl. [4]
In another bowl whisk vinegar and mustard. Gradually whisk in remaining two tablespoons oil, until dressing is thick and creamy. Whisk in honey. Toss Brussels sprouts and dates with dressing. Serve cold or room temperature. This salad makes a wonderful side dish with roast chicken and rice, and could be used at Thanksgiving or Rosh Hashanah. It keeps for several days in refrigerated.

'Ugly Betty' TV Query: What was that song Betty and Daniel danced to?
Most of all, we'll never forget the scene when Daniel and Betty took to the dance floor and Justin and Austin bravely swayed to the music as everyone tried not to cry.
Zap2it reader, Lori Radcliff, asked via Facebook, "Did anybody catch that great song playing when Betty was dancing w/Daniel? Who sings that?"
Well, Lori, thank you for your post. You weren't the only one who was curious. Not only did we want to know, but we're sure a lot of other viewers do, as well.
That touching song is "A Love That Will Last" by Renee Olstead:
Wasn't that scene unforgettable?

Unforgettable and brilliantly done. With time so short, its nice they took time for love that will last forever. As will the love of many of us for these characters, the writers who created them and the actors who gave them life.
Renee Olstead should look familiar to TV watchers too, since she played one of the kids on CBS' "Still Standing" and is now on ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." The girl can definitely sing.
Oops - sorry, that wasn't the song I was asking about! Renee's is a good song, but I was actually asking about the one that played right after it, when Daniel/Betty are still dancing/talking. Anyway, I think I figured it out. I'm pretty sure it's "If I Could Fly" by Charity Chapman. Can u verify? I saw on the internet that "Fly" was also featured in an episode of "Felicity." Thx!
Found it! This is the scene from last night where you hear the song "If I Could Fly":
I loved how this song is so perfect for both Hilda and Betty romantic situation.
the line "I don't want the middle or the one before"
for hilda the middle is Archie or the coach while the one before is Santos
while for Betty the middle is Matt and the one before is Henry.
the fact that they are each dancing with their soul mate (though betty has yet to realize this) is so amazing.
yes I'm a Detty shipper :-)
And, apart from how lovely the song is ... apart from how perfect it is as a wedding-dance song ... apart from the fact that many of us never had heard it despite its being six years old (!) ... apart from how sweet it made as a backdrop for Hilda, for Betty, even for Ignacio and for Marc with Amanda (heh - you didn't think about *that* one, did ya! but their special love, too, is a love that will last) ...
HOW BEAUTIFUL IS IT THAT THIS WAS THE SONG FOR JUSTIN-AND-AUSTIN'S FIRST DANCE? and that Justin's wordless decision that his mother's celebration of love was a good time to celebrate his own, came during the wordless part of the song?
Just a beautiful moment, and one I will always choose to remember as the true series finale.

East County artist Malcolm Robertson installed his newest sculpture in Belfast last week.
The piece is inspired by the machines and rope-making techniques used in the world-famous Belfast Ropeworks. Titled "Let's Twist Again," the sculpture sits outside a newly built enterprise office building that has been built to provide communal office space for the currently divided community.
The stainless steel "twisted rope" section of the piece shows the various fiber strands coming together in a cohesive upward-reaching structure. An inscription on the piece reads, "By being bound together in a common cause, the natural tendency for each twisted fiber, yarn and strand to separate only serves to make the rope stronger."
