The Kiwi qualifies for the Scots on account of his Glasgow-born grandparents and will make his Test debut at Twickenham as his adopted nation go in search of their first Calcutta Cup success in London in 30 years.
But despite the hostile environment his new charge is likely to face, Johnson - who today named a starting XV which mixes youth and experience for the match with Stuart Lancaster's men - insists 24-year-old Glasgow player Maitland is ready for his international introduction.
Johnson told Press Association Sport: "It's got to happen sometime, sharks are born swimming.
"He has got good pedigree, but it's an opportunity for him. He does things that coaches can't coach, so I think he's a bit different to a normal Scottish player.
"The Scottish team now has some jet shoes and it is quite nice to have them."
For Maitland, his Six Nations bow will fulfil a family ambition which started back in his boyhood days when his father would wake him in the middle of the night at their Tokoroa home to tune into Scotland matches being played out on the other side of the globe.
Maitland said: "I'm very proud to be given the opportunity to start by Johnno - it's very special and I'm very proud.
"My parents are happy for me too. They are very proud and talking to my dad, he's a man of little emotion, but he definitely showed a lot of emotion when I told him the news."
Maitland, who moved to Glasgow from Crusaders last year, insists his decision to leave the land of his birth had paid off.
He said: "When I came over, international rugby was on my radar. My dad said I had the opportunity to play for Scotland, I'm half-Scottish and it's in my blood, so I was very lucky."
Other notable inclusions in Johnson's squad were stand-off Greig Laidlaw, who replaces retired scrum-half Mike Blair at number nine, and Dougie Hall, who takes former British Lions hooker Ross Ford's jersey for his 40th cap but his first international start in six years.
Johnnie Beattie is also back in a Scotland strip for the first time in 18 months, and Johnson believes this team can compete with the Auld Enemy, who they have not beaten on English soil since 1983.
He said: "We said we were looking for two things - form and future - and I think the side we've picked covers that.
"With Greig, we had a good look at the autumn and we've looked at his form with Edinburgh as well. We are trying to find something a little different in this country, and Greig gives us that.
"If he can go out in a test match and do well at number nine, we have got a kid who can play two positions. I quite like that, the French have done and have been successful.
"Dougie also comes in and he has been terrific. I've been really, really pleased with him. On the back of that, Ross hasn't had much game time, so we thought it was in the best interests of them both if Dougie started. One, to reward Dougie and, two, to ease Ross back into it."
Johnson, meanwhile, refused to rise to the bait laid down by former Scotland boss Jim Telfer in an article with the Daily Mail.
The Five Nations-winning coach branded England too "arrogant" for their own good and claimed Johnson still had to "prove" his coaching credentials.
"For me to sit there and criticise someone's opinion is the height of hypocrisy, so I'm not going to stand there and tell someone what to say."
Scotland squad: Stuart Hogg (Glasgow Warriors), Sean Maitland (Glasgow Warriors), Sean Lamont (Glasgow Warriors), Matt Scott (Edinburgh), Tim Visser (Edinburgh), Ruaridh Jackson (Glasgow Warriors), Greig Laidlaw (Edinburgh), Ryan Grant (Glasgow Warriors), Dougie Hall (Glasgow Warriors), Euan Murray (Worcester Warriors), Richie Gray (Sale Sharks), Jim Hamilton (Gloucester), Alasdair Strokosch (Perpignan), Kelly Brown (captain, Saracens), Johnnie Beattie (Montpellier).

I have owned this range for two years. It looks fantastic and has all the right features. I bought it at Sears Outlet and got a great price too. The issue I have is with it's quality. When I used the self-cleaning oven, it blew a fuse, which required removing the back of the stove to reset... Next, the knobs are very cheap plastic. They deform/melt when cleaning the oven and/or using the broiler and they also break off very easily. I hope you have a better experience.

Kenmore thought of everything when designing this Pro Dual Fuel range. First of all, it is attractive and looks as good as any Wolf or Viking out there. Secondly, it has all the BTU's you could want in a cook top for the gourmets out there, including the bridge on left that allows you to put a large roasting pan across it as I did on Christmas to make the gravy. It heats up the whole pan, middle included. The bridge comes with a griddle for pancakes, grilled cheese, etc., and a grill top that fits over it to do steaks when it's too cold to grill outside. Plus, you can use the bridge side as regular burners, too, if you don't need the middle burner lit. The oven is amazing, too. It not only has a bake, broil and warm feature, it has convection bake and convection roast. I roasted a 16.6 lb. turkey on Christmas 2 1/2 hrs. using the convection roast and it was the most tender, moist turkey we've ever had! It has very precise oven temperature settings. It moves like a dial to the exact temp you desire. Last but not least, it cleans up easily, too, and unlike a lot of other high end professional style ranges, it has the self- cleaning feature. BTW: I didn't notice that the fan was that loud. It does go off after your heat rises to the selected setting. A couple of things to be aware of that we learned after purchasing: we needed to upgrade our electrical since we didn't have the proper amperage from the low end cook top we replaced but the gas line was there. Since we were replacing a cook top with a range, we needed a professional installer to remove the cook top and the cabinet below. At the end of the day, it was worth every penny to purchase and have installed. Watch for sales on this item at Sears. We did and then it went down again in price and Sears made the adjustment. Also, it is a little frustrating because Sears doesn't have it in their showroom to see ahead of time. We did see the look of it (awesome big dials) from their Kenmore Pro oven but we had to buy sight unseen; however, Consumer Review gives it high marks. That was enough for us along with all the features we were looking for: dual fuel, professional style/look, convection baking, high BTU's, self-cleaning, etc.

Out of the box missing propane conversion kit was supposed to be included. Now I have to wait another week for kit. Turned on oven to bake a pizza a noisy fan came on and never shut off.... Turned off the oven 30 minutes ago and the fan is still running. I guess I will need a service man!!!

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
Union's recipe for success was pound and ground.
The three-headed rushing attack of Jake McCray, Ben Baugh and Mekyah Davis ran for 335 yards and five touchdowns, and the Bears defeated Graham 34-28 in the opening round of the West Section, Division 2 playoffs on Saturday night at Mitchell Stadium.
Union (8-3) will host Stuarts Draft (8-4) next week in Big Stone Gap, Va. The Bears lost to that same team in the playoffs last season by a field goal. Stuarts Draft is coached by Bluefield High School product Tommy Goforth.
"Last year was a heartbreaker the way that game ended when they kicked a field goal with about 30 seconds to go in the game," Union head coach Travis Turner said. "Hopefully we can get healthy and get prepared and have a great week of practice and have a home game."
Graham (8-3) would have hosted with a win, but the Bears ran the ball 68 times, with McCray (26-191, 2 td), Baugh (34-119, 2 td) and Davis (8-24) running behind a huge offensive line that pushed the smaller G-Men off the line.
"There wasn't a whole lot of fancy things going on really out of either team, just line up and run it and play smash-mouth football," Turner said. "Our offensive line, before we came out we told them we are putting it on your back, you will win us this game and I think they did.
"They had 10 or 11 people at the line of scrimmage and we're still able to get 3 or 4 yards a carry and we are pretty happy with those 3 or 4 yards."
Graham never led in the game, but was able to tie the score at 13-13 going into the final quarter, but all those running plays may have eventually worn down the G-Men on defense.
"We went down by 3 at the half which is fine, that is a good position to be in," Williams said. "We go into the fourth quarter tied and the premise behind that offense is they wear you down and I guess that is exactly what they did."
Graham also had four turnovers, two of which led to two of Union's three fourth quarter touchdowns, and the G-Men were also called for 115 yards on 10 penalties and had a player ejected near the end of the game.
The G-Men their season at 7-4, but were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs for a second straight season.
"We are not satisfied, this is a game we thought we could win and we didn't," Williams said. "We are disappointed about our performance tonight, but we will take a couple of weeks off and start gearing up for next year."
A fumble recovery by Cody Craft and interception by Trey Lomax in the final quarter gave the Bears good field position in the fourth quarter, and they scored a pair of touchdowns in just over six minutes to build a 27-13 lead with 2:13 left in the game.
"I am very disappointed with how we all played and honestly I think we should be playing next Saturday," Graham quarterback Spencer Sheets said.."You have got to give credit to them, they all came to play, you could tell they watched film and they ran the ball very well and we just didn't have an answer for them."
Sheets used his arm and shiftiness with his legs to set up a 29-yard field goal by Samuel Stowers to tie the score in the third, and he continued to play havoc with the Bears in the final period, finishing with 100 yards on the ground and 179 through the air.
Charlie Benfield had 118 yards on four receptions, and Cody Hatfield, who was held to 37 yards on the ground, had 81 through the air on five catches.
"(Spencer) is good in space, he makes things happen and it might have been a few things we could have done earlier in the game, but at the end of the day you have got to stop that pound and ground that they do and we didn't do a good job of that," Williams said. "At the end of the day they walked away victorious."
Sheets' 10-yard scoring pass to Colby Hill narrowed the lead to 27-20 with 1:26, but the onside kick was unsuccessful, and Hunter Cook was ejected during a skirmish following that play. Union added a touchdown on a 24-yard run by McCray. Sheets able to score as time expired, but it was too little for the G-Men.
"We want to control the clock and control the tempo of the game and all three of our running backs ran hard and they blocked hard for each other," Turner said. "We just executed the game plan and what we wanted to do."
Union led 6-0 after the opening period on a 9-yard run by Davis after a fake punt by Graham was unsuccessful at their own 14. Stowers cut the lead to 6-3 on a 24-yard field goal after Adam Carbaugh caused a fumble and picked it up for the G-Men.
The Bears' offensive line then took control, going 65 yards on 16 plays, with Baugh scoring from the 1. Williams certainly saw what the G-Men need to work on in the offseason.
"I think we are going just going to have to focus on putting on some weight and strength over the next year," he said. "We were 7-4 strong and size-wise this year, but that is something where we are going to have to continue to grow and get bigger and stronger."
Graham closed the margin to 13-10 at the break on a short pass by Colby Hill to Hatfield, who ran 31 yards for the touchdown.
Union outscored Graham 21-13 in the fourth quarter, as several seniors played their final game for the G-Men.
"That is a good senior class, it was fun to get to coach those guys, it was an honor to get to coach them," Williams said. "We are going to miss them, they provided a lot of leadership and a lot of productivity for this team.
"We wish them well as they go forward with their careers."
Sheets was the leader of a Graham team that won just one game when he was a sophomore. That mark improved to 5-6 last year and 7-4 in Williams' second year at the helm.
"I had a great run with these guys, I don't regret a thing," Sheets said. "I wish I could keep playing with them because I am going to miss it.
"This is our last chance, but hopefully we will be the start of a new legacy. Hopefully next year they will keep building up and they will just get better."

Borris from rocky and bullwinkle has a lawsuit pending against Mr. Perot for his blatent bigutry. Some people can't control the growth of facial hair.
BUSINESS people love to talk about corporate social responsibility. But how many of them are actually willing to sacrifice profit for principle? When pressed, most of them simply argue that they are doing good by doing well, which prompts the question of why they bother to talk about CSR in the first place.
I was delighted to discover, in Michael Eisner's "Working Together: Why Great Parternships Succeed", that Ross Perot, the founder of Electronic Data Services and two-times presidential candidate, was an exception to this rule, a man who was willing to sacrifice a quick buck in pursuit of a deeply-held principle.
In the late 1970s Arthur Blank and Bernie Marcus visited Mr Perot in Dallas to finalise plans for him to take a 70% share in what became Home Depot. Noticing that Mr Blank sported a moustache, Mr Perot said that he had a strict no-facial-hair policy. He made his investment conditional on the removal of the offending hair. Mr Blank refused and took their idea elsewhere. Mr Perot lost billions by turning down the deal, but nevertheless held up the wider principle that companies need to set an example of good personal grooming to the world.

Costco has Die Hard 5 Hollywood Movie Cash for Master and Commander, Kingdom of Heaven, Valkyrie, and Last of the Mohicans. The movies should be $7.99.
Apparently the Die Hard movies plus a bunch of other stuff from FOX are $9.99 at best Buy with the $10 Good Day to Day Die Hard ticket. Maybe the Best Buy here can take down the Skyfall movie cash endcap finally and replace it with these.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 04:02 AM
Anybody that get the die hard ones at bet buy have any idea when they expire? I'd kinda like to go see that movie but I have to wait till I get back from vacation in a few weeks to buy anything else my girlfriend says. Lol

They expire 3/31/13 so you have plenty of time. Though they probably won't be on sale for that long.

Anyone know if DMR codes from Monsters Inc 4 disc (1st print) work to get HMM for Monsters 2? (might buy off of friend)
Doesn't look like it. The DMR page only shows the three new releases as being eligible.

Also spotted $45 JP TRILOGY w/$8 fandango bucks for JP3D. So it's not just amazon.

Can someone report BBY carries the Crood tix w/ Rise of the Guardians? Is it on certain packages (egg bundle) or certain retailers (ie Walmart). Asked a worker if he could check in the back. "if it's not in the ad, no" was the response. Lazy.
Also spotted $45 JP TRILOGY w/$8 fandango bucks for JP3D. So it's not just amazon.
I saw an ad posted at Wal-Mart about select movies having the $8 Croods movie money. It was on a poster with a picture of RoTG so I would guess that would be one of the movies. Not sure about any other retailers though.

Saw the Jurassic Park blu's at Target today for $18 w/ $8 movie cash to see Jurassic Park 3D. Sure hope they go on sale for cheaper than that somewhere next week, around $10 each would be a great deal.
Fandango Cash right? Not hollywood movie money. The only way that will cover most of the ticket price is if you see it like at a discounted before noon showing so 5/6 dollars +3 to 4 dollars add on for 3-D. I am debating to get the single packs with the UV copies or the box set..hmmm...

Not sure if this is allowed or if anyone cares, but Amazon has their own selection of movies on sale that come with a free $7.50 GI Joe: Retaliation ticket. And one of the movies is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Single-Disc Edition) for $5.50 on DVD, which trades in for $3.80 in brand new condition, essentially making the movie ticket cost $1.70. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Exactly what I did. Purchased 2 (with different accounts) and set it up to send them both in for a net of $3.40 for both tix. They emailed the code about 4 hrs after I received shipping confirmation.
Went to see the movie last night. Enjoyed it, but beware of the false advertising. Channing Tatum is only in it for about the first 15mins and Bruce Willis has only a few small parts. This is The Rock's show - which is not a bad thing, it's just not as advertised.

I don't recall what kind it was, honestly - the $18 sticker scared me off anyway. I have a local theater that offers special pricing in the afternoons between 4:00 - 5:30, so I could catch it for $8.75 then. Would definitely be worth it for me if I could find the right price on the movies.
Not sure if the versions at Best Buy have the movie cash, but if they do they would be about $51 for all 3 movies + 3 movie tix and a $10 BB gift card.

Column #15
The Patchwork Pals, a group of quilters who quilt for the public, operate out of the Lampasas Texas Senior Citizens Center. They meet twice a week and their quilt frames are suspended from the ceiling in the rear section of the senior citizens building.
Try as I might, I can't find any history about the origins of quilting for hire or— as this practice is commonly called—quilting for the public. My guess is that people have been paying others to quilt for them for about as long as people have been quilting, although I don't have any documentation to support that theory.
The reasons for paying someone else to quilt are many and varied. A lot of people simply have none of the prerequisites—know-how, time, equipment, and space—to do their own quilting. Some quiltmakers prefer piecing or appliquéing a top to quilting it. Some feel that their quilting skills are not on par with their ability to create tops. Others may have made so many tops that they don't have the time or energy to quilt them all!
Still others, who may have inherited or been given tops and would like to have them made into quilts, don't know the first thing about quilting and have absolutely no desire to learn.
The reasons for taking money for quilting a top made by someone else also vary. For individual quilters, the main impetus is to earn personal income. For group quilters, such as those often found at senior citizens centers, women's auxiliaries, church groups, community clubs, and other organizations, the main drive is to raise funds for charitable purposes, to assist with organizational activities, or to fund some specific goal. This could be a new community fire truck, a church elevator, a missionary trip, or the like.
For both individual and group quilters, however, money is not the only incentive for contracting out their services. It would be hard to imagine someone quilting for the public who didn't love to quilt. There is virtually always an artistic component at play, as well as satisfaction in mastering a difficult skill to the point of performing it professionally. For those who quilt in a group, there is also the companionship of other like-minded individuals that enriches the experience.
Regardless of the motivations on either side of the equation, quilting for the public has been a viable cottage industry for many, many years and remains so today—whether it is done by hand or machine.
Hand quilting is labor-intensive and time-consuming and requires frames or a hoop. A quilt in a frame takes up a fair amount of space, which is why in earlier times, it was most common to have the frames suspended from the ceiling so that the whole operation could be rolled up to make room for other activities. This method is still used in many situations.
Quilting by machine is much faster, and people have been machine quilting almost since sewing machines went into mass production in the 1850s. Traditional machine quilting still takes quite a bit of time, however, and requires special skill to do competently. Because relatively few quilters achieve that proficiency, traditional machine quilting for hire is not common.
Longarm quilting, on the other hand, is a different matter. It's no exaggeration to say that the longarm quilting machine has brought about a sea change in the way that quilting for the public has evolved in recent years.
Early versions of the longarm quilting machine have been around since the late 19th century, but during the past couple of decades—with the advent of lasers and computer-guided machine heads—longarm machines have become mainstream. Experienced longarm quilters can produce beautiful results in a fraction of the time required by other quilting methods and at a very reasonable price.
The longarm machine and longarm quilters have taken quilting for the public to a new level. In the next Suzy's Fancy, we'll meet one of this new wave of professionals. See you then!

Hot Off the Press! An update to the GRS Restructuring Study
A quarterly webinar apprising customers of our progress in the restructuring plan was held November 21. If you missed it, check out these slides.
In October 2012 we released "The New GRS: A Plan for Restructuring and Updating the General Records Schedules". This master-plan document outlined an ambitious 5-year plan for rewriting the entire General Records Schedules (GRS) to reflect the contemporary Federal workplace. On May 2, 2013, we released for agency review six draft schedules, the first fruits of this effort by the GRS Team. Just recently we released two more draft schedules.
Many reviewers noted small discrepancies between the Master Plan and the released drafts schedules, particularly regarding current GRS items originally mapped to a new schedule that did not show up in the the new draft. These discrepancies are because the master plan has morphed in numerous ways as the GRS Team worked through this first year of rewriting schedules. This "GRS Plan Revision Table" details current changes in the master plan pertinent to the draft schedules sent out for comment.
Watch this space! We hope to issue soon an update to the Master Plan so that you are aware of our current thoughts regarding the master crosswalk from the old to the new GRS. As we continue to revise, rework, and restructure particular schedules, we will keep you informed of other alterations in the master plan.
Two New Draft Schedules Released for Comment
The GRS Team has completed drafts of two new schedules, bringing the total currently in active stages of rewriting to 8. Federal agencies have been invited to review these drafts through the end of September. Once agency comments are adjudicated, revised drafts will be published in the Federal Register and comments solicited from the public. These new schedules and their appraisal memoranda, can be downloaded from the links below. If you wish to comment, please use the comment form also downloadable just below. Send your completed comment form to email@example.com.

Hobbes on the Euphrates Scott Horton
Back in April, I found myself in Baghdad across the table from one of the nation's most prominent judges. A man with a reputation for integrity and independence, he had resigned from the bench rather than implement a cruel set of directives issued by Saddam Hussein. He suffered and was forced into a marginal existence thereafter. The Coalition forces, noting the respect his name commanded, tapped him for a particularly sensitive role, which he has held ever since. Since judges are killed at the rate of one-per-week in Iraq, however, I am going to refrain from using his name. Wednesday, July 19, 2006
Stem Cell Compromise Mark Graber
Seems to me that the perfect compromise that might resolve the stem cell controversy is for the scientific community to agree to do research only on embryos that could possibly mature into terrorists. After all, our president who so emphasizes morality believes there is nothing immoral about torturing persons who are suspected of being terrorists, even in the absence of any legal procedure that even confirms the suspicions are reasonable (much less a legal procedure which convicts them of any crime). Our president who so emphasizes morality also finds nothing immoral about killing innocent civilians and children in military missions that also kill a certain number of terrorists. If we can torture and kill people suspected of terrorism or people who live near people suspected of terrorism, then surely we ought to be allowed to experiment on embryos that we suspect might have become terrorists.
What the Bush Veto Means JB
Perhaps you think that the Bush veto of the stem cell bill today suggests a divided Republican Party, or a weakened presidency, or a newfound ability of Democrats to form bipartisan collations with their colleagues across the aisle. In fact, it means none of these things. Bush has never vetoed a bill before because (1) his party has controlled both houses of Congress throughout most of his presidency and because (2) vetoing was not the most politically propitious alternative. That's to be expected when the President and the Congress are from the same party. Usually the President could get what he wanted-- or avoid most of what he didn't want-- through his Republican allies reshaping or watering down bills, jamming up legislation in committee, or through Presidential signing statements. It just so happened that with this particular piece of legislation, politics dictated that the veto was the best alternative both for Bush and for the Republicans in Congress. To understand why, over five years into his Presidency, George W. Bush finally vetoed a piece of legislation, it's worth comparing President Bush's veto of the stem cell bill with two other pieces of legislation that he strongly opposed but nevertheless allowed to become law: The McCain Feingold Campaign Finance Bill and the McCain Amendment which became part of the Detainee Treatment Act (DTA). (You will note, not entirely coincidentally, the presence of John McCain's name in both pieces of legislation). First let's compare the stem cell bill with the DTA. The DTA was part of a very large defense appropriations bill that it would have been quite difficult to veto. Congressional leaders deliberately attached it to that appropriations bill. Hence the President worked hard to weaken the bill by limiting the jurisdiction of the federal courts to hear allegations of prisoner mistreatment. This is what the Graham-Kyl amendments did (Senators Graham and Kyl even went so far as to insert bogus legislative history in the Congressional Record to help the President's cause). Moreover, when the President signed the bill, he offered a signing statement that indicated that he reserved the right, at some undisclosed point in the future, and in various undisclosed ways, to refuse to enforce it. So although he signed the bill, we have no idea whether it will really do what it says. And that's just the way the President wants it. The stem cell bill was different from the DTA in two important respects. First,the Congress arranged matters so that the bill was not hitched to other crucial legislation that the President would be politically unable to veto. The fact that Congressional leaders did this is quite significant, and it suggests that Republican supporters of the bill were far less upset about the possibility of a Presidential veto than the public debate might lead one to believe. Indeed, the most important story is not why the bill was vetoed, but what political bargains (and Congressional rules) led to it not being attached to other more important pieces of legislation. Second, a signing statement made far more sense in the case of the DTA than in the case of the stem cell bill. The President might have issued a signing statement announcing that he would withhold any funds appropriated for stem cell research. But a signing statement to this effect would be a far less effective alternative. A signing statement threatening to withhold funding would have no obvious constitutional basis for objection-- unlike the signing statement for the DTA-- and would itself have precipitated a constitutional debate about impoundment of appropriated funds that had lain mostly dormant since the Nixon years. It was far cleaner and easier just to veto the legislation, especially since Congress had not attached it to a crucial appropriations measure. Perhaps equally important, a veto is a far more powerful political gesture; a signing statement would seem particularly devious and unsatisfying, both to the public at large, and, perhaps more importantly, to the President's supporters in the pro-life movement, who would have demanded a clear rejection of the bill rather than allowing it to become law. An equally interesting comparison is to the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance bill, which the President opposed but ultimately signed rather than veto. The most important difference is the political meaning of the veto. The White House probably predicted that vetoing McCain-Feingold in early 2002 would portray the Republicans as the party of corruption and would hurt the party's chances in the 2002 and 2004 elections. (Remember that the House didn't pass McCain-Feingold until after the collapse of Enron). By contrast, the White House probably imagines that vetoing the stem cell bill does more good than harm for Republicans: it signals to the conservative base that the President supports the pro-life agenda while allowing individual Republican Congressmen and Senators to signal to moderates and independents that their views are different. In sum, this first veto of the Bush Presidency does not signal anything out of the ordinary, other than ordinary politics. Of course, if the Republicans lose one or both houses of Congress in the 2006 elections, we may see a lot more vetoes coming from this White House. But that, too, will be an entirely predictable consequence of ordinary politics. Mission Accomplished, Indeed JB
From today's Los Angeles Times: At least 57 Iraqis were killed Tuesday and scores more injured when a suicide bomber lured a group of day laborers to his minivan with the promise of work before setting off explosives. The bombing in Kufa rained blood, burnt debris and charred body parts on a small market across the street from the Muslim bin Aqil mosque, the main platform for radical Shiite cleric and militia leader Muqtada Sadr. Since the beginning of May, attacks by Sunni Arab and Shiite Muslims have claimed the lives of more than 6,000 Iraqi civilians, according to a United Nations study and Iraqi police reports. The Kufa blast, coming on the heels of mass killings and bombings attributed to Sadr's Al Mahdi militia and its Sunni Arab enemies, brought the battle to the Shiite cleric's doorstep, igniting fears of a fresh wave of reprisal killings. "The message is clear, and the message confirms the sectarian differences," said Fadhil Sharih, a leader of the Sadr movement. "It seems clear that it's been moving toward the direction of civil war." U.S. and Iraqi government leaders have argued that the 150,000-strong foreign troop presence has kept the country from descending into full-scale civil war. But many Iraqi officials fear the threshold has been crossed. "What is happening in Iraq is a disaster and a tragedy," Adnan Dulaimi, a Sunni Arab leader, said in an interview. "It's bloodshed and killing of the innocents, killing the elderly and women and children. It's mass killings. It's nothing less than an undeclared civil war." Killings of civilians are on "an upward trend," with more than 5,800 deaths and more than 5,700 injuries reported in May and June alone, it says. The report, a bimonthly document produced by the U.N. Assistance Mission for Iraq, covers May and June, and includes chilling casualty figures and ugly anecdotes from the insurgent and sectarian warfare that continues to rage despite the establishment of a national unity government and a security crackdown in Baghdad. The report lists examples of bloody suicide bombs aimed at mosques, attacks on laborers, the recovery of slain bodies, the assassinations of judges, the killings of prisoners, the targeting of clergy -- all incidents dutifully reported by media over these three-plus years of chaos in the streets." This is not the first time that misguided leaders believed they could control the chaos of war and make it serve their will. It won't be the last. But one has to shake one's head in amazement and wonder what combination of arrogance, ignorance and hubris led this President to be so confident that he, finally, had mastered the art of destruction, that with the aid of new tactics and new technology the war he started would reach only the guilty and spare the innocent. Note to Senator Specter -- A Youngstown Refresher Marty Lederman
Dear Senator Specter: On several occasions, most recently at yesterday's hearing with the Attorney General, you have articulated the following reasoning in (possible) support of the legality of the NSA surveillance program: As If Hamdan Never Happened: Don't Give an Inch on Article II Marty Lederman
As I noted here, DOJ is asserting the rather remarkable view that the Court's decision in Hamdan "does not affect our analysis of the Terrorist Surveillance Program." A response to this proposition from a group of constitutional scholars and former government officials (of which I am part) is here. Tuesday, July 18, 2006
Tales from the Unitary Executive, Part II JB
You may recall that the Bush Administration halted the Justice Department's probe into the legal ethics of the NSA's domestic surveillance program on the grounds that the Department's own lawyers lacked the necessary security clearance to investigate any possible misconduct. As I pointed out at the time, this had the ironic consequence that private phone company employees at AT&T and other corporations had sufficient security clearances to know what the NSA was doing- because they worked with the NSA in running the program-- but the Justice Department's own ethics lawyers did not. Today Attorney General Gonzales noted that the decision to cut off any Justice Department inquiry into ethics violations was made by the President himself. This revelation nicely symbolizes the problem we currently face. The unitary executive theory demands that there be a final chain of command in executive authority that leads all the way up to the President, or, in other words, that the President is the boss of everyone in the Executive Branch and, at least in theory, has the final say on anything that anyone in the Executive Branch does. (For the moment I put aside the obvious counter-examples in the independent federal agencies). But if one adopts this vision of Executive power, then it becomes extremely important to have some other method outside the Executive branch of overseeing the decisions that the President makes. Otherwise the President will be sorely tempted to confuse what is necessary to safeguard the country with what helps him avoid oversight and political embarrassment, and he will use his position as capo di tutti capi of the Executive Branch to enforce his will. For this reason, the idea of a unitary executive-- i.e., that the Executive Branch ultimately has one boss-- must not be confused with another idea sometimes also identified with the "unitary executive": the notion that the President has inherent authority to do certain things (because, for example, they are "executive" in nature) and that in doing them he may not be checked, impeded, regulated, or overseen by the other branches. Indeed, *precisely* because the President is ultimately the boss of everyone who works beneath him in the Executive Branch, somebody who *doesn't* work for him must be able to check him. And what that means is that these two different interpretations of the unitary executive-- which are often confused with each other-- are actually at war with each other. You can have the President be the boss of everyone in the Executive Branch or who exercises executive functions. Or you can make the President immune from oversight and checking by the other branches. But you can't have both. If you have both, you don't have a system of checks and balances. You have a system that produces corruption, mismanagement, abuse of power and tyranny. Sunday, July 16, 2006

Sure, Apple unveiled a new Macbook Pro with a high-resolution retina display at its developer conference. But news of its planned participation at next month's Black Hat security conference could be even more significant, as it suggests a shift in the company's longstanding silence on security matters.
If Apple's representative takes Q&A from the audience, it will serve as further evidence that the company is fostering a more open, transparent relationship with the security research community.

The pub history site now covers all of the UK, well bits of it. This is the reason I run this site - a tribute to Ian Pubby Hunter
This is a local search engine of the UK Pub history site. You can search by surname, street address, or public house name. There are over 50,000 pages of pub history detail in this search engine; which is mainly historical. New pubs and additional detail is added every day, and the search engine updates weekly

The pub / public house / boozer is where most of us spent our youth, and more. They are now expensive places to drink, and the local supermarket has replaced many (if not all) of the Off Licences. There is also a new breed of pubs, with a range of nice ales at affordable prices (I am quoting the likes of Wetherspoons); and this new brand replaces the old established and often run-down pubs of the past. I am not selling either as a preference, this is a pure article on pub history as I see it from the last ten years of research into the matter - my thesis, for what it is worth.
Let us start in 2013 and a round up of the current pub trade. Many pubs are closing, and being replaced by restaurants and pizza houses. Other pubs are closing and being converted back into housing, generally flats. The current economic climate is forcing many of the tied public houses to close, whilst newer pubs are continuing to open ( at a lesser rate). The reference 'tied houses' refers to the fact that a pub has to purchase its beer and spirits from the chain which runs the establishment. This is a more expensive option than being able to purchase from the market place, and has forced many pubs to be uneconomical, thus closure. I am not clear as to how Wetherspoons pubs operate, but their prices tend to undercut many of the established lager pubs, and is generally a better experience.
A major trend over the last twenty years or so, has been the renaming of pubs from a centuries old name, to a modern trendy name. The pub history site tends to reflect on the original names. Another trend appears to be the purchase by a brewery of an 'old' building, with little pub interest; and then transforming the same building into a historical pub. I am never clear about the economics of such a transformation, but the costs of this can run into a million pounds for just one pub, and therefore it must make economical sense.
I am now going to move back to the 1970 - 1990 period. At this time, there were a number of new pubs replacing the older, and generally larger pub. The pub names were still relevant, e.g. the White Hart, Kings Head etc. This was a time when the Watneys and Truman pubs were being sucked into the empire of the Grand Metropolitan chain. Watneys (Red Barrel, which was appalling beer) and Trumans (slightly better beer) were purchased by the Grand Metropolitan chain. Apparently, Grand Metropolitan closed down the good breweries and sold even more appalling beer to the detriment of the brands.
The wiki states that Grand metropolitan bought the Truman, Hanbury & Buxton chain in 1972, and next Watney Manns; plus a host of other drinks related businesses including J & B Whiskey. The problem was in 1989, Lord Young decided to cut the brewers monopoly, by reducing their size to 2,000 but in essence to sell off half of all pubs over the number of 2,000 by the year of 1992. The wiki covers most of this detail, and I will not repeat it here, but this is a list of about 500 Grand Met pubs in 1991 just prior to selling off to Charringtons - these are in London and also the South East (Hertfordshire, Kent & Essex).
You can research a Pub, or any home, by researching using a surname in the BT telephone directories. These are available as part of the Ancestry basic search. If you need more detail, their other packages offer additional searches, e.g. the electoral rolls. I am not selling their services, but these are available, at a cost.
Stepping back in time again, we step back about 30 years to the 1940s and the World War, when great swathes of London and the South East were harangued by the war time bombing, and masses of London was demolished by the V1 and V2 rockets. About the same time, streets were being renamed to remove the repetition of road names. I list each and every pub and beer house in 1944, and this is a very useful guide in researching back further. This pub history site largely covers pubs and beer houses in 1944 and the two hundred years earlier - including their street name changes along the way.
One point I always make is NOT to exclude the beer retailers. many of these were, and continued to be off licences. Other beer retailers are now the well known pubs that we have known forever (apparently). The youngsters of today have no idea of the rich history which exists in our earlier pubs and beer houses, as they know little different. Their idea of the history of a pub is what is was last renamed a few years ago.
It is also important to not to discount hotels as pubs. Many areas, not quite so much in London, list a considerable number of Hotels. These are not listed in the publicans, or beer retailer sections, as they are Hotels. You often need to search a particular area in this case. As ever, a good example of this is Wincanton, in Somerset (one of many).
An important point
My next article on research of a pub will start to explain the differences between the different
areas of London and the South East, and why some areas had lots of pubs, and
some had none.

Scuba St. Lucia receives PADI loyalty award Scuba St. Lucia, the PADi 5 Star dive operation at the Anse Chastanet Resort in Soufriere, was presented a loyalty award by PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, marking its 30th anniversary of the dive centre's affiliation with PADI. The award was presented on Tuesday, April 10, by PADI's Regional Manager, Mike Hill, in a brief ceremony held at Sandals Regency in conjunction with a PADI Forum being conducted for all of St. Lucia's affiliated scuba diving operations. Receiving the award for Scuba St. Lucia were manager, Bernd Rac, and assistant manager, Callistus Jackson. The award cites "For 30 Years of Outstanding Service Member Since 1982". PADI is the world's largest scuba diving training organization which is affiliated with over 6,000 dive shops and resorts around the globe. Founded in 1966, PADI is recognized for setting industry standards for dive training for its modularized approached to teaching which combines theory with practical application. Anse Chastanet owner Nick Troubetzkoy founded Scuba St. Lucia in 1981, recognizing the great potential of the diving tourism market for Saint Lucia and taking advantage of Anse Chastanet's location in the midst of numerous coral reefs which soon became recognized as offering some of the best diving and snorkeling in the region. The resort's initiatives since the early 80's to attend international dive shows and advertise in scuba diving magazines abroad soon put Saint Lucia on the top as a must see destination for scuba divers. Also, these early marketing activities undertaken by Anse Chastanet and Scuba St.Lucia created the foundation for other dive operations to eventually emerge on island, making scuba diving a viable segment of Saint Lucia's tourism product. Scuba St. Lucia, for many years, was the principle operation to provide training and professional certification to Saint Lucian nationals to become dive instructors and dive masters. Also, Scuba St. Lucia played a key role in the development of the Soufriere Marine Management Association (SMMA) which oversees the sustainable management of Saint Lucia's important marine resources along the island's southwest coast.

I will be moving to KY soon (within the next year) I think to the north of Barkley Lake. I have a 31ft camper, anyone know of a cheep place to park it, and anyone want to go fishing, I have a nice 14 ft boat .
Are You retierd? If so, You may want to look for a lot to buy. It takes some looking. But a decent lot, where a large camper can be used, can still be found. I think the north end of Lake Barkley, could be a good choice. As You would be within a few minutes of ether lake. And only about 15 minutes from the Ohio, at Smithland. I fish below Barkley dam a lot. Fall fishing, is My favorite time for that. The striped bass, saugar, and big catfish, show up then. I do not fish for black bass. But will do so, once in awhile, just to have a fishing buddy, for a day. I have a 16 foot V bottom, with a 65 horse motor. It is not fast. But not real slow ether. During the spring, I like to fish for blue gills, at Smiths bay, on Kentucky lake.
When I am not fishing. I do some wild life photography. My avatar, is one I shot last March, below Barkley dam. Life member since 04/05/1989. Samuel J.
No I am not retired yet, and yes I would love to buy in that area. I have been around that area a few time and I love the weather and from what I hear its Great fishing. I can't move till Sept, I work in the oil/gas wells in Co. but thing are slow now. The nice thing is I work from home, the weather and fishing sucks in Co so its time to go. I got hurt bad on a job site back in Oct. so I may be retired by Sept. Would love go fish with you guys when I get there.
Things have changed so I could be on my way by the 15th of June
