Five Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota County members each received $1,000 college scholarships from ESPN television sports analyst, philanthropist and longtime supporter of the Boys and Girls Club of Sarasota County, Dick Vitale. The presentation ceremony was held Wednesday, Aug. 5.
The five scholarship recipients are Kristopher Powell (Miami Dade College); Shane Sethi (Florida Southern College); Brittney Cannon (Valencia Community College); Sharod Campbell (Alabama State University); and Markus Black (Florida A&M University).
Before Vitale and his wife, Lorraine, presented the recipients with their scholarships, Vitale addressed the 500 audience members about doing the right thing.
"Life is very simple," Vitale said. "Life is about good decisions or bad decisions. If you make good decisions, a lot beautiful things are going to happen in your life. If you make bad decisions, a lot of bad things are going to happen in your life."
Vitale urged club members to pursue their dreams and their goals.
His advice: "Don't ever, ever let the word 'can't' be a part of your life."
The Vitale family has donated a total of $60,000 in scholarships to the Boys and Girls Club in the last 12 years.

What is the theme?
Topic: Araby
What is the theme?
10 Answers | add yours
Best answer as selected by question asker.
A theme is a universal truth about a work of literature expressed as a sentence. A work can have many themes not simply one. Some of the themes of "A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings" might be: (1) The life of an individual is both fragile and transient (as evidenced by the sudden recovery of the mortally ill infant [paragraph 4]); (2) Human beings, almost by their very nature, reduce everything to their own levels of comprehension; (3) The curiosity that people show in unusual things, but also their fickleness when the novelty wears thin, and (4) People inevitably introduce adaptation and opportunism for survival (as shown in Pelayo's accrual of money by exhibiting the angel [paragraph 11])

Another important theme is the isolation and meaningless of life in the industrialized world. Gregor is a traveling salesman who has no time to forge relationships outside his immediate family, and even those prove to be a bit strained. He hangs up a picure pulled from a magazine because he doesn't have a lady friend. While he is devoted to his job, he hates it. He is unappreciated and generally ignored until the one day that he is late. On that day, his work not only wants to know where he is, they actually show up at his home to find out what is keeping him and threaten immediate dismissal if he doesn't come to work. He is literally treated like a bug -- like a busy anonymous worker ant.
Once he becomes a bug, he is isolated by his family and he chooses to isolate himself in his room. The family barely tolerate him, and only his sister can bear to be in the same room with him for a short period of time. Out of deference to her, Gregor isolates himself from her by hiding under a sheet and under his bed.

This is a deceptively simple question. A theme, in short, is the main idea of a story. However, you have to keep in mind that stories, especially good ones have many themes, and some of the best stories have two or more themes that may even compete with each other. In this way, it leaves the reader to decide for himself or herself what the theme is. Let me give you an example.
In the tragedy, Antigone, there are many themes. On the one hand, loyalty to family is a theme. This is why Antigone wants to bury her brother even at the expense of the law of Creon. Creon, the ruler of Thebes does not want anyone to buy Polynices, the brother of Antigone, because he attacked the city.
On the other hand, there is a theme of obeying the laws of the land. So, what should a person do? This is not an easy question. So, here is an example of many themes and in this situation there are two themes that oppose each other.

'Theme' is a literary term used to convey the central idea or message in a literary text. The theme is not the same thing as the subject of the text. For example, the subject of the story "Chicken Little" is a paranoid little chicken, but the theme of that story could be fear or hysteria.
One of the key points in literary analysis when reading a poem or novel is to be able to identify what the theme is. Understanding the theme of text is important, because then the reader can make connections to what the author's purpose for writing the text may have been.
For example, in Macbeth by William Shakespeare, the central character Macbeth murders the king so that he may rule instead. A central theme of this play is ambition, because the Macbeth's thirst for power causes him to commit terrible acts. A thematic statement then describes how the theme relates to the specific text; for example: In the play Macbeth, unchecked ambition leads to dire consequences.

One theme is Appearances can make one more favorable and believable. In the story the angle does not look the part of an angle having "[...] huge buzzard wings[...]" instead of the stereotypical heavenly white dove wings, his appearance causes the villagers to deem him unpromisisng but when they see a spider woman and "[...] the truth of her horror [...]" of her condition they believe everything she says. This theme is present in realistic circumstances. How a person looks can either help or hurt them. For example when going to an interview of any sort one is told to "dress for success" or "dress for the role" this is because good impressions are not only nased on what one knows or does but on how one looks as well.

I'm not sure exactly what you are referring to when you say "the theme", but I'm assuming you mean the definition in general. The theme of any literary work is the enduring message or insight about life that the reader is left with after reading and analyzing the work. Sometimes the "big idea" or essential question of a unit is another way of referring to theme. You may have heard your teacher use some of these terms in class.
Posted by jamie7539154 on January 16, 2013 at 2:56 AM (Answer #2)
Like any work of literature, there are mutliple possible themes. One possible theme could be, "We should learn to value ourselves before seeking validation from others." From the very beginning of the story you can tell that Alice is very insecure. She bases her self-worth on relationships with boys and popularity in school. This also applies to her relationship with her family: Alice's fear about how her family will react to her mistakes plays a big role in her digging herself deeper into trouble instead of asking for help. This can be seen in the chapters set in San Francisco where she wants to contact them but repeatedly puts it off.
A note on themes: remember that the topic of a book is different from the theme. In my example above, the topic could be "social acceptance" or "self-esteem," but if your teacher is asking for a theme, they probably want to know what the book is saying about that topic. Try to apply your theme to the reader and not just the character(s) in the book. Also, if you can't point to specific parts of the story that show your theme, you should probably pick a different theme.

There are several important themes of Kafka's Metamorphosis, but certainly one that is central and anchors them all is engulfment vs. freedom.
The man in the story is the meal ticket to everyone in his family. However, he feels engulfed even before his transformation took place. He felt trapped by his family, the co-workers, his job, and everything around him. He was so fed up that he would pretend things in his head, talk to himself in hopes to establish firmness in his identity, and dreams of the day when he can heave everything behind.
Yet, he continues to be engulfed by society, his own guilt, his sense of duty, his family's obligations, and the reality of his life.

We are a department-sized grouping of researchers in Life Sciences who use a wide range of techniques from computational to whole organism experimental approaches in our pursuit of understanding biological systems. A main theme of our research is the use of an evolutionary perspective to inform and predict the behaviour of biological systems. If you have any questions about the research we do, are interested in scientific collaborations or education/training opportunities in Manchester please contact us.
Research group leader: Dr Daniela Delneri
Research in this theme focuses on fundamental questions covering a range of key topics from sexual selection, behavioural genetics and epigenetics, signalling and communication to the evolution of sociality and coevolution. We study animal behaviour and ecology in the lab and the field as well as using computational and modelling approaches. Much of our research overlaps with interests in conservation biology, genetics and physiology and is supported by state of the art facilities.
This use of computers in biology has never been so important and, alongside continuing data representation and analysis, a major goal of computational biology is the in silico representation of dynamic biological systems. For example, at the cellular and molecular level, biological structures and functions are the product of complex interactions between proteins and other molecules. Using a systems biology approach, we are interested in exploiting evolutionary signals to study the nature of these interactions and how they change. We also develop software and host several databases; see our Bioinformatics page for more details.
In this theme we study genome evolution and its consequences at different levels of generality and over varying time-scales, often bringing together computational and experimental approaches. For example, specific research projects include: using evolutionary signals to understand the specificity of protein-protein interactions, comparing genomes from divergent species to identify probable non-coding RNAs (see the miRBase database), development of new bioinformatics software (e.g., phylogenetic methods), HIV-1 diversity and evolution, and large international genome projects, for example, the mouse and fruit fly.
The underlying focus of this theme is understanding how structure and function relate through evolutionary processes. Our research interests cross over between field and laboratory-based studies and are focused on understanding how organisms work and interact with their environment. Specific research projects underway include comparative physiology and biomechanics, functional morphoplogy, the use of computer simulations to understand the movements of both living and fossil animals such as dinosaurs, the evolutionary genetics of social interactions and complex traits and the interplay between evolution and development.

Worst move ever? Hello, Red Sox fan here. I think I know a bad sports move when I see one, and trading Shaq was not the worst ever.
Well, Big Ben doesn't have an offensive game so that's probably why he wasn't mentioned. Or maybe Shaq's just being a sore loser.
Far be it for me to defend Shaq in any way, because he's a moron, but exactly why does he owe Ben Wallace any respect? Because the Pistons, AS A TEAM, beat the Lakers?

Thats true, Shaq averaged more points against Ben and the Pistons than he did against any other team.
Shaq seemed to have his way with them every game, he doesn't owe them any respect.
Well, it's not like JO has ever torched Shaq either. Ben's the third best big man in the East and he was an all star starter, DPOY etc etc. He does deserve respect, though not necessarily for the Pistons beating the Lakers. And as far as Shaq having his way with Pistons, that was their game plan and however many points Shaq did score, it obviously wasn't enough so he does owe the Pistons some respect.
Um, shaq had his way with the Pistons how many games?
Compare SHaq's finals averages in his previous three appearances, then look at his stats in the 2004 finals, and THEN tell me he had his way.....,
By the way, Chamberlain typically had his way statistically with Russell, but Russell's team always won.
Stats don't matter, its who wins or loses. Bow down, Shaquille.
2013 Pacers Digest NBA 2K13 Champion (Xbox 360)
Shaq did better against the Pistons offensively than any other team in the 04 playoffs. It's silly to compare the finals stats last year for Shaq to the finals stats in 00,01,02...because in those 3 finals series, Shaq got the ball constantly. Come 2004 playoffs, Kobe took alot more shots.
Kobe took 113 shots in the finals, made 43, and averaged 22.6 points a game.
Shaq took 84 shots, made 53, and averaged 26.6 points a game.
That's probably the funniest stat I've ever seen.
But the fact is, in 2004, Shaq played considerably better against the Pistons than he did against the Rockets, Spurs, or Wolves. That's not taking anything away from the Pistons, thats just a fact.

The regular season is mostly about statistics, because its a much longer period of time, and most any superstar can take his team to the playoffs. However, the Playoffs are where your repuation is made. Nobody is going to give a damn how many points you scored, if you don't take your team along with you.
2013 Pacers Digest NBA 2K13 Champion (Xbox 360)
Kstat, I think you're missing the point. This is about Shaq not giving Ben respect. It has nothing to do with the Pistons as a team. The only love he gave to any East player not on his team is JO.
"I'm not arguing; I'm explaining why I'm right."
And I made the point that it really doesnt matter what or not he thinks, this was all decided back in June, and there's nothing he can say or do about it right now.
Scoreboard, shaq. Ben's got the ultimate trump card. DIsrespect him all you want, doesn't change the fact his team whitewashed yours.

Batch 10-12 delays [ Mon Nov 26 2007 4:17 PM ]
My order for various ingredients FINALLY shipped today. Last Wednesday, I knocked a few things (hops and heather) off of it that were holding it up, but somehow it didn't get out before the holiday hit. At least now, it's finally moving. 34 pounds by UPS ground. I doubt I'll be brewing this coming weekend, but *maybe* it'll get here on time. Batch 10 will be a rye ale. Victor doesn't sell malted rye, which is why I had to order online, though I will also get some flaked rye from the co-op. I'm going to try to hit a reddish color, though I might come out a little darker than that. It's similar, in some ways, to what I was trying to do with batch 5, but lighter bodied and I'm not using any lactose or vanilla on it. Batch 11 will be the mocha stout. Have to do a stout every few batches, ya know. And that will be the end of the WLP051 colony's enslavement. Batch 12 will use a fresh colony of yeast, from Edinburgh. Yep, it's the return of Scottish ale, though differing from number 6 in a number of ways. The big one is that it will be totally hopless, with even more heather than last time. It will also be my biggest mash yet, over 8 pounds (mostly Golden Promise, but some specialty grains too) and a long, long boil (probably two hours). But it's still not all-grain: I'll be using some Munich extract. This is gonna be one malty beast! After that, it's hard to see the future. The hop shortage is making some things hard. Ooh, and somewhere in there, maybe even disrupting the aforementioned batch numbers, I just might try to sneak in my first lager. We'll see. I have this one room that gets really cold... Hm...

NYT on the Continuing Love for Harry
OpinionJuly 31, 2005, 11:16 AM
Harvard sophmore and soon-to-be-published novelist Kaavya Viswanathan writes in today's New York Times about first reading Harry Potter just before begining eighth grade, and her continuing love for the series.
Harry is an endearingly normal hero, enduring the same romantic insecurities, friendship pressures and temper tantrums that I encounter all the time, and it is oddly comforting to think that such a seemingly ordinary boy could achieve the extraordinary.
Each time I reread a Harry Potter novel, I am reminded of the ability of everyday people to reach unprecedented heights for a cause they believe in, as well as of the importance of love, friendship and loyalty - qualities as essential to the wizarding struggle as to our own. Even adults like to think that somehow, everything will be all right.
Also, the Book Review section today features a review of HBP; reviewer Liesl Schillinger takes pains not to spoil the book, but notes that JKR "has succeeded in delivering another spellbinding fantasy set in her consummately well-imagined alternate reality." Thanks to Marie for the link.

This was one of a handful of settings I sent to me now fiance, but I didn't tell him this was my favorite because he wanted it to be at least a bit of surprised. Luckily, this was the setting he chose and I could not be happier. I have a cushion cut diamond, which I wish BE would show more pictures of - although the roun diamonds are lovely, it's nice to have options. I could not be more thriled with my beautiful ring!

My fiancee loved the ring, and she gets lots of compliments. It is a great combination of modern and antique-looking, and is super super sparkly.

Comments about PT Victorian Halo Diamond Ring:
I received this setting with a cushion cut diamond as my engagement ring last month. The ring was a surprise, but my fiance got the size right. He was nervous about ordering a ring that he would not see until it arrived in the mail. He spoke to customer service and was assured that they would go over everything with him before it was made.
There have been so many compliments because the design is not "cookie cutter" like most of the halo rings on current brides. The design is unique and the pictures on the website do not capture its true beauty. My camera didn't either. I do not wear jewelry, except for small stud earrings, so it has taken some getting used to. However the band is thin enough that I'm adjusting to it slowly.
The design has a lot of entry points for light and any center diamond you put in will look larger because of the small diamonds surrounding it.
I'm a fan of the antique design and the milgrain details on the border sets is apart.
I'm looking forward to passing it on in the future.
The fact that they use conflict-free diamonds has also helped me sleep at night! Everyone teases me (in a good way) about the rock that I'm lifting every day.

Comments about PT Victorian Halo Diamond Ring:
The on-line picture does not do this ring justice. I ordered this on-line and was nervous about the quality and what the ring would actually look like (size, clarity). It was perfect and exceeded my expectations. My fiance loved it! She was sized at a 6.5 and that is what I ordered. It fit perfectly and needed no adjustments. The customer service was outstanding and I would definitely suggest this ring to anyone that is considering it.

Mechanic drove three miles with angry bloke on bonnet
A Northern Ireland garage mechanic who drove for three miles with a disgruntled customer clamped to the bonnet of his car has been cleared of a raft of charges including assault and dangerous driving, the Belfast Telegraph reports. Gerry Brown, 53, was at his yard near Castlewellan in February 2008 when Lesley Quirey and his …
"They said there was nobody available"
Yet they managed to divert someone to nick him.
I know police forces can be overstretched, but "there's no one available" just isn't an acceptable answer.
reminds me of this joke, you might have heard.
but i'll repeat in for those that haven't. It's supposed to be a true story, don't know can't verify.
Guy out in the sticks calls the police late at night and says "There's a burglar downstairs, I don't think he knows I'm here so if you come quick you'll catch him!"
To which the police despatcher replies "I'm sorry sir we have no-one to send"
The guy swears and hangs up, but rings back a couple of minutes later and says "Don't worry about that burglar, I got my shotgun out the case and blew his head off, I'll dispose of the body in the morning!" and hangs up.
5 minutes later half the damn police force turns up, cars, vans, armed police, helicopter and dog unit where they accidentally catch the burglar attempting to do a runner.
When confronting the homeowner one very angry police officer says "I thought you shot him?!"
to which the man replies "I thought you had no one to send?"
I can kind of vouch for that...
...the other year I was assaulted out and inside my home for my car keys by three large youths.
So whilst one solitary vigilant neighbour of mine (thanks modern society) had looked outside, seen the racket I was making for somebody to call the police, the buggers said they had absolutely nobody to send as the city had apparently suffered some kind of crime wave at the time, yeah right.
They questioned him further, wondering whether it was a genuine call, and he had to argue loudly to the police down the phone that he was staring at the perps who at that time had me pinned to the ground!
So of course, after the scumbags had shot off with my car, my DSLR camera and laptop, an unknown amount of time passed (I was in shock of course) some officers turned up saying they were only just returning to the station from doing a patrol of the streets in a different area of the city! Basically I got a response from the absolute dregs of police response, not that they didn't handle it reasonably professionally, I suppose.
It happened again a few days later to somebody else on my street! Again, the perps spent a lot of time ransacking the house and got away scot free.
To my knowledge they're still on the loose.
I always do this with CrimeStoppers. I just call them (it's anonymous!) and tell them that some extremely dangerous sh*t is happening. They tell me to call police (which is a waste of time) and I tell them that if somebody dies or get seriously hurt it's their fault. Then hung up.
Police always comes in 5min max. Plus you don't need to leave your details, so nobody harasses you afterwards. Job well done!
Not arf
re: Ha ha ha ha!
That'll be the one where Graham Norton et al were riverdancing in the tiny caravan?
Let's hear it for common sense!
Someone's running in fear of their life, so what do the Police do? Arrest him on a bunch of silly charges and let the guy threatening him go because it's going to be easier to charge the victim with crimes than make a case against the attacker...
"Regarding the Staffordshire bull terrier, Philip Quirey admitted he and his nephew happened to have one in the car boot..."
Aye, they're right boogers to shift once they take a liking to a place.
I once had a whole family of Great Danes took up residence in the glovebox of my Mini....
Better to get someone charged with motor vehicle offenses ( and the ensuing fines presumably), than go after the nut job...
"a toy for the dog"
Balls. Any of my Staffs would have reduced a pick-axe handle to rocking horse shit in about 30 seconds. A crowbar, now, that might last.
Re: "a toy for the dog"
Double balls. Any self-respecting Staffie would knock itself cold trying to get through a door at full pelt with the centre of the pick axe handle in its mouth and the rest stuck out either side. Trust me on this, I've yet to meet a Staffie that has any idea of its own width or that of whatever it happens to be carrying, which is one of the reasons they're widely known as "comedy dogs" to those in the know...
!just dogs
Hamster's have the same problem if you give them digestive biscuits that are too wide for Habitrail tunnels.
Reminds me..
Of one I read about a while ago, some guy looks into his backyard or whatever and sees someone breaking into his shed, he calls the police telling them thats it happening right now, but "noone is available", so he claims something along the lines of "ok, I'll get my rifle then." or something like that.
Within minutes the place was crawling in coppers who suddenly did get very very available, to probably arrest the home owner for making a threat, I can't recall details now.
..just suck.
poor guy. as the victim, he is the one getting prosecuted because some neanderthal with a dog and an Axe tried to scare the life out of him, and would've probably beaten it out of him too.
the police should just be given pink uniforms and told to stand on motorways with hairdryers because they are a waste if this case is the rule rather than the exception...although one hopes not..i do live in a dodgy neighbourhood and would not like to be prosecuted for public indecency if i get the shirt stolen off my back and the shorts from my crack.
Bull Terrier? Dangerous dog? "Happened" to have one in the boot?? So, maybe they just forgot it was there (Another criminal offence)
Obviously dangerous, as it needed a pickaxe handle for a 'toy'. I'll get my moggie a chainsaw or an AK47 to play with.
Sense prevailed. Personally, I'd have slammed the brakes on, forcing the prat onto the road, and "Unfortunately, in the confusion, I mistook the brake for the accelerator, M'lud"
Oh, they weren't chasing him with the broken-down car, I guess.
Re: Unbe-fuc*king-lievable!
A staffy isn't necessarily a dangerous dog, you prat. All kinds of people keep them as pets, some of whom are aggressive idiots like this one, and I think he was probably doing quite well with the intimidation on his own without the dog.
You're having a bit of a week, aren't you?
Indeed, Sarah.
"There are no bad dogs, just bad owners."
People, both intentionally and inadvertantly, train their dogs to do all kinds of thinkg. aggressiveness is just one of them, and it's tradgic.
Breeds have distinct tendencies
All dogs are potentially dangerous given the right circumstances. They are subject to instincts, and will attack given the right signals. I've seen a dog that was normally a timid, docile animal tear a possum apart with its teeth - almost a 'jekyll and hyde' experience - and at times like that you see the animal concealed beneath the 'man's best friend' exterior.
Certain breeds have a greater tendency to aggressive behaviour, and with some breeds that risk is high no matter how well they have been raised. There have been more than a few unfortunate cases where a trusted (well-kept) family pet has killed a baby or ripped into a visiting child, much to the horror of the owners. There are certain breeds that should never be kept by a family.
@Sarah, @oninoshiko
The law may be a bit arbitrary with regard to dangerous dogs, but the simple fact is that certain breeds are inherently dangerous. There are plenty of bad owners, and as a result there are plenty of dangerous dogs that are not officially on the dangerous breeds list, but which are never going to be safe without a muzzle, but that simple, sensible half-way house seems to be too easy an idea.
Re: @Sarah, @oninoshiko
I don't think you know very much about dogs, but I'll grant you that large or powerful dogs are more dangerous than smaller ones in the sense that *if* they attack, they'll do more damage. However, you can't tell just from a dog's breeding whether or not it will ever attack anyone or anything. You can't. Sorry.
You're having a bit of a week, aren't you?
Men don't suffer from direct PMT. Just indirect PMT, from their female partners.
once again the police go after the little man
... literally in this case. Were they intimidated too?
At least...
... they couldn't charge him with being Tall in the presence of a police officer. Probably got him for glancing with intent to eyeball instead.
Wasn't it a Python skit?
[Constable] "The defendant dealt me a nasty blow to my fist with his eye"
reminds me...
Of an urban myth (or true story) Chap phones the police, explain burglars are in the garden. Police explain they are busy and cant get anyone there for 30 minutes. Caller says he will go out and investigate with his gun. 3 minutes later armed response arrive saying we thought you had a gun. Caller retorts I thought you didnt have anyone available for 30 minutes.
common sense prevails!
reminds me of when my cousin (only 18) and his mate were out town drinking. they get jumped and soem guys try to mug them and beat them up. so they ran to their car and drove to the police station for help. where he was charged with drink driving and lost his license!!!!
and the pigs wonder why nobody likes them?
I want this judge...
...to be sat on a panel of 'overjudges' to review cases in the UK. Sounds like he actually has some sense!
Typical police behaviour though...a guy calls up begging for help and the only response is 'if we can't nick you we aren't coming'. Whatever happened to police HELPING those in need?
Mmmm pickaxe handles..
jesus, if that mutt "toys with pick axe handles".. what would he do to a leg??
Paris, because she knows how to handle an axe..
(there's gotta be a better variation on that)..
Here's a variation for you
A pick axe handle is also known as a shaft.
I'm sure that fits better with your comment :)
You are not even trying Sir
She can play with my handle......
Paris probably plays with bigger toys....
I seriously can't believe
that with this whole story to choose from, you pick on the dog. Which didn't attack anyone. Or get involved in any way.
Explain this to me?
Its time the police used some common sense
A good start would be an intelligence test for all recruits and senior officers.
But though the judge showed common sense in dismissing the case, he did less than he could. A better judge would have insisted that the officer responding to the call was barred from public service for life and his seniors formally reprimanded for allowing an incompetent person to be employed.
Common sense is counter productive in law enforcement, as in it is not profitable.
In the the US they DO take an intelligence test... only if you are too smart they won't hire you.
There was a big ruckus raised about that a couple years ago, I forgot the exact details, but basically some guy took their intelligence test, scored too high and they refused to even interview him for the job.
This is really scary
Sometimes the UK "justice" system just baffles me. In many ways things have regressed to the dark ages. Even refusing to sit quietly in your flat and letting someone hack off your arms is likely to get you arrested for making too much noise.
Maybe the driver got charged because it was the word of 2 (assailants) against 1 (victim). Or perhaps one of the assailants had noble blood? Not that NZ has any, but DAMN Folks!!
You know the French were really on to something with that whole revolution thing. Granted they went a bit too far but they did certainly fix the immediate problem. At the absolute minimum the government should pay the poor bloke a BIG settlement and ALL the police involved (including the idiot 999 operator) should be fired and bared from ever working in a police service again.
So typical....
.. that the police got it so wrong.
Do you have to permanently disable the common sense parts of your brain when you become one? It sure sounds like it.
Win...win for the police
".... subsequently charged ....using a mobile phone."
Quote from Police HQ " What do you mean he is the victim. Whats that got to do with anything? I've also got an idea. Its only one incident but if we charge him for using a mobile phone as well we can claim two detections. It also beefs up our 'using mobile phone whilst driving' figures due next week at the Home Office. Lets do him! "
SOP for the Cops...
Anyone who looks as if they are trying to undermine the cops monopoly gets busted. The original criminals are a far lower priority... Anonymous because, well, you don't need to ask...
You do realise that this is in Castlewellan, a place where people leave bombs?
Maybe the PSNI did have something else to do?
And now we have Theresa May...
... telling the Police that they will have more opportunities to decide who gets charged for "minor crimes" instead of needing to check with prosecutors to see if there's actually a case to answer, let alone a chance of conviction.
I can't see this one going wrong at all...
dumb cops
Ok so the cops are dumb. But who was the prosecutor that thought it was a good idea to go to court on this.
What's next ? You get stabbed and because the knife is still in you ,you get charged for having an illegal weapon .
Charges they should have brought
"Staffordshire bull terrier and pickaxe handle" - Posession of a dangerous weapon
"started banging on the car" - Criminal Damage
"He's f****** lost it. He's going to kill me" - Public Order Act Section 4 Fear or Provocation of Violence.
"pickaxe handle was a toy for the dog". - Taking the piss
"A row quickly ensued, and Lesley Quirey "ran around to the back of his car, where there was a Staffordshire bull terrier and pickaxe handle and I immediately thought that something wasn't right", as Brown explained."
Ah, British understatement, gotta love it. Something wasn't right indeed.
Entry requirements
I work with an ex-policeperson and this doesn't surprise me at all. It seems there is a minimum height and a maximum IQ for joining the police.
Reminds me...
Of an urban (it might have been suburban) myth about a man who phones the police to report a burglar trying to break into the building across the road. The police say they're too busy so he says he'll nip out and shoot them with his camera. Within minutes a squadron of coppers arrive on the scene and arrest him under section 44(2) of the Terrorism Act.

Mexican election result radicalises student protest movement | World news | guardian.co.uk
I asked my friend, Dany36, to locate (and possibly translate if necessary) any articles or important tidbits about the situation in Mexico. These are what she presented to me.MEXICO CITY — Thousands marched through Mexico City's center on Sunday to protest what they called the "imposition" of the candidate of the old ruling party as the country's new president.
Protesters carried signs accusing presumed President-elect Enrique Pena Nieto of electoral fraud and Mexico television giant Televisa of being a "factory of lies." Opponents say Pena Nieto's party, the Institutional Revolutionary Party, won the July 1 election through vote-buying and overspending, including paying major media outlets such as Televisa for favorable coverage.
"Mexico didn't vote for fraud. Mexico wants a country that is honest and democratic," said marcher Marlem Munoz, 26, who studies dentistry at Mexico's National Autonomous University. "What happened in the elections was a total mockery directed at the Mexican people."
The PRI has vehemently denied the charges and on Friday accused losing leftist candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador of trying to "disqualify the entire electoral process with lies." Televisa also has denied charges of being paid for positive coverage.
Mexico City authorities did not immediately release an official crowd estimate, but the march appeared to draw far fewer people than similar protests before the election with as many as 90,000 participants. A July 7 march, the first after election, drew 50,000. The events have attracted people from a new student movement, "I Am 132," and leftist groups supporting Lopez Obrador.
The lower participation raises questions of whether Mexico's university students have spawned a real movement in their demand for "authentic democracy" and an opening of Mexico's media, or if it's just part of the standard post-election protests in Mexico. In 2006, after Lopez Obrador narrowly lost to President Felipe Calderon, he marshaled hundreds of thousands of supporters to block Mexico City's main center for weeks.
Lopez Obrador said he will not mobilize people to the streets this time. His choking of central Mexico City in 2006 was highly unpopular with everyday residents.
I Am 132 has released a series of proposed events over the coming weeks, including Sunday's march, designed to overturn the vote results.
Other groups have said they will block the Dec. 1 inauguration of Pena Nieto.
Pena Nieto, 46, won the presidential election by 6.6 percentage points, according to the official count, bringing the PRI back to power after 12 years in opposition. The party had ruled Mexico for 71 consecutive years, with what critics say was the help of corruption, patronage and vote fraud.
The final vote count must be certified in September by the Federal Electoral Tribunal.
The current ruling conservative National Action Party, whose candidate came in third, joined Lopez Obrador's Democratic Revolution Party this week in demanding that electoral authorities investigate the purported use of pre-paid debit cards by Pena Nieto's campaign to disburse an estimated 108 million pesos ($8.2 million) in funds.
The PRI counters that they have presented no -evidence.
And finally, below is a video (in Spanish) containing footage of a man telling police officers about the votes being bought out, only to be ignored (starting around 2:58). At 3:33, you can see PRI propaganda outside the voting booths, and a man instructing how to vote for the PRI.
I just find all of this abhorrent. I can understand the need for food, but I don't think it really justifies selling out your vote. According to my friend, they pretty much declared the PRI candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto (commonly referred to as EPN), as the president when only some 2% of the votes had been tallied. Unfortunately, this movement seems to be losing momentum.
I have plenty of related material, if anybody wants more.

You won't go wrong reading any of the Sherlock Holmes novels. Try the Hound of the Baskervilles. You can also read any of the Sookie Stackhouse novels(basis of TrueBlood series) for your vampire fix. For fiction, I would definitely recommend The Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby. Happy reading.

You might want to try Anne Rice's vampire series, beginning with Interview with a Vampire. All of the series is available in paperback and at most libraries. There is nothing wrong with the Twilight series, but Rice is a wonderful writer, and her vampires truly come to life for the reader. She also has a series of books about witches, I think they are called the Mayfair witches, and there is some overlap in characters between the two series, which is always fun.

I think that modern teenagers still enjoy The Outsiders. It speaks to a lot of themes that are still important today. As for the specific topics you mentioned, I have to agree that that Sherlock Holmes mysteries are still as entertaining as anything out there. I have heard nothing but good things about the Hunger Games series, if that's your thing, and of course, there's nothing wrong with enjoying the Twilight books either (though I haven't actually read any of them or seen the movies.)
Posted by rrteacher on June 14, 2012 at 7:03 PM (Answer #5)
If you have not readThe Hunger Games, read them.
Another great author I'm personally just becoming interested in is John Green. He writes realistic YA fiction--interesting characters and stories, unique sense of humor.

If you have not read The Giver, I heartily recommend that book. The themes of what constitutes a perfect society are very thought provoking. I would also recommend James Patterson's Maximum Ride series, which is about teenagers who are two percent bird. I would also recommend anything written by Robert Cormier who has a way of leaving you on the edge of your seat from chapter to chapter.

Check outUglies, Pretties,andSpecialsby Westerfield. It's about a dystopian society with a lot of fun technological toys and advancements that the young kids use to fight the controling government. All of my 14 year old students love this series!
Posted by tinicraw on June 17, 2012 at 4:17 AM (Answer #8)
Did you read A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness? Fun and a great vampire/witch plot line! It is an adult book, but still very fun and a quick read.
I also just read A Fault in Their Stars and it is witty and funny but incredibly sad and poignant. Little Bee is another incredibly sad but poignant novel. It has great depth but provides moments of comic relief too.
For a good mystery, I really enjoyed The Body of Christopher Creed - my students enjoy this piece too. Other good YA novels that I enjoyed: The Book Thief by Mark Zusak, Twisted by Laurie Anderson, and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins as someone else suggested.

14 year olds should be prepared to read high school books as it will help in the future. Most popular books read at 14 year olds were historical fiction or nonfiction books.
Examples such as Night by elie Wiesel or Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

Garlic, Echinacea & Goldenseal+ is a comprehensive botanical formula combining the benefits of many well-known herbs, including Echinacea, Garlic, Elderberry and Goldenseal, traditionally used to provide seasonal support and defense.
Used as a remedy by the Plains Indians more than any other herb, Echinacea is one of the most popular botanicals used today. Garlic Echinacea Goldenseal+ combines the immune-boosting activity of Echinacea angustifolia root extract, standardized for 4% echinacosides, and Echinacea purpurea herb to provide complementary, full-spectrum Echinacea benefits. No herb was more revered by early Native American tribes than the versatile Goldenseal root. Today, Goldenseal is often combined with Echinacea and other seasonal-supportive botanicals to provide a complete, synergistic formula.
Garlic Echinacea Goldenseal+ is further enhanced with Elderberry fruit and flower extract. Elderberry has been involved in human history for centuries, with a reputation for supporting both the body and the spirit. Modern science has validated Elderberrys historical use of boosting the immune system by showing how Elderberry helps block viral replication.

Shotgun Joe's advice: Don't take it
This week, Biden shared advice he gave to his wife. "I said, 'Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. You don't need an AR-15 - it's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun! Buy a shotgun!"
The man put in charge of the Obama administration's gun-control initiative recommends firing two warning blasts from a double-barreled shotgun. What if the intruder is not scared away? You'd better be quick at reloading. Also, how is public safety improved by encouraging people to fire shotguns off the balcony instead of taking aim (whether firing or not) directly at intruders?
The worst part of this advice, though, is that yet again the administration ignores the reason we have a Second Amendment. It is not for sport or self-defense. Those are excellent uses for weapons kept legally under the Second Amendment. But the amendment exists because weapons are "necessary to the security of a free state." Funny how the administration never brings that up.

A very well written article , however what advice do you have for those of us who are still struggling with English , just about use the internet , had never seen a desk top computer until I was well in my thirties ? I am now being asked to re-learn English. Heaven help me !
Erkernermerst, Ermahgerd... Those who coined these words probably knew about ancient Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian pharaohs and kings or read... J. R.R. Tolkien!
"Ehrmergerd" translator:
You're welcome.
Johnson, why are you deliberately using fancy words?? Just get to the point, no reason to show off your vocab
If you have it , why not flaunt it ? I quite like Johnsons style of writing , which I find refreshing and novel.
now, go back to writing posts about farming subsidies in Bulgaria.
Although this was a fascinating article, this reader would like to point out that humans have communicated in the written word in real-time long before now, albeit on a much smaller scale. Foreign (especially Korean) Confucian scholars visting Imperial China in the Ming and Qing dynasties would commonly have conversations with Chinese Confucians by each writing in turn on a piece of paper, because, while written Classical Chinese characters were learned by nearly all members of the seventeenth century East Asian intelligentsia, most Koreans would still not speak Chinese, or vice-versa. Indeed, the many dialects of Chinese, often as different from each other as Spanish and Italian, ensured that the near-universal character system would serve as a lingua franca for centuries, allowing persons who would be unable to communicate with spoken words to speak through writing.

[Where were you when we needed you a year ago? Thank you for this post. Can't thank you enough.]
Thanks for the tutorial . However I am sure you know what Johnson meant . Even if he knew about ancient Chinese Confucians mode of communications, I am sure that is not what Johnson had in mind. Let's not be so pedantic.

i feel quite bad about having asked you to battle on my rushed terms just because i'm moving cities... you're entitled to as much time as you want before the deadline to prepare, and in light of that if you want the win you simply have to ask, i'm willing to give you the game. if time was an issue for me then i should have stepped back and down, not asked you to battle immediately. so let me know k :)
kir if it is at all possible can we play now-ish? i'm starting medicine at university tomorrow and am moving to a new city and all, i won't know when i'll have reliable internet again... it would be a 100x easier for me to play now, but if you don't want to i understand...
hi we have to battle for r3 of team trials, i'm GMT+0 timezone, around what times are you free to battle?
Yo bro, go to xat.com/pokebattlecenter today or tomorrow, i should be on, if not, just message me back and lets get something set
Sup bro? For the team trials thing, go to xat.com/pokebattlecenter to contact me, bcos im not very active on the forums, thankies
I'm central timezone and available most of the time, if needed. Anyways, once I make a team I'll be sure to let you know.

SNETTISHAM, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 09: A general view over the wash after high tide at the RSPB's Snettisham Nature reserve on September 09, 2013 in Snettisham, England. The reserve lies on the edge of 'The Wash', one of the most important bird estuaries in the UK, supporting over 300,000 birds. A few times every year higher than average tides force thousands of waders including Knot, Oystercatchers, Sanderlings, Black and Bar Tailed Godwit and Plover to take flight, and advance up the mud flats in search of food. The event is one of the most incredible wildlife spectacles in the UK. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)

Hello from Illinois!
My wife thanks all of you for all of this new camping gear. So far I have a wbbb, wbsf, and working on uq. I think I am getting the hang of all the acronyms (pun intended). Slept out in 33* w/5-10 mph winds. Did well, but my wife woke me up at 3AM wondering where the heck I was and what the heck I was doing sleeping outside in the cold. I told her "it's all secure in sector 7". This confused her even more. Anyway, all of the threads I've read here have really helped me make sense of all this hanging around stuff. Thanks again!

Looks Last Minute: Cartoon Cosplay Wedding
Seen here donning their best (but still very bad) Jessica Rabbit and Superman costumes, English couple Nyssa Pratten, 19 and Rob Taverner, 32 (CRADLE ROBBER!) tied the proverbial nuptial noose in a comic book/cartoon-themed wedding this week that gives every indication of being planned entirely the night before. Kidding guys, you look great. Well, Nyssa anyways.
Bride Nyssa walked down the aisle to the 'Star Wars' theme, and after confirming their nuptials the happy couple left to the famous 'Looney Tunes' exit music.
Mr Taverner said that he and his wife had a shared love of cartoons and comics.He said: 'I'm what everyone calls a 'geek', into all the nerdy stuff like computers, comics, sci-fi and graphic novels.
'Nyssa's into more of the girlie stuff like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but she's learning - she gets really proud of herself when we're all chatting and she gets a reference.'
The blushing bride, who is 15 weeks pregnant, said that it didn't take her long to choose her outfit.
"...gets really proud of herself when we're all chatting and she gets a reference". Don't worry Nyssa, I know the feeling. I nearly crap my khakis with pride every time I pick up on a reference. Which, admittedly, is rare. "Dammit GW, you're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie and wants to know..." *BRAP!* Big Lebowski -- BIG LEBOWSKI!
Hit the jump for a couple more shots, including some of the other colorful characters that were there for the ceremony (including a dude in a Supergirl costume -- ZANY!)
