Another hilarious and moving novel from bestselling, critically acclaimed author David Walliams, the natural successor to Roald Dahl. A story of prejudice and acceptance, funny lists and silly words, this new book has all the hallmarks of David's previous bestsellers. Our hero Ben is bored beyond belief after he is made to stay at his grandma's house. She's the boringest grandma ever: all she wants to do is to play Scrabble, and eat cabbage soup. But there are two things Ben doesn't know about his grandma. 1) She was once an international jewel thief. 2) All her life, she has been plotting to steal the crown jewels, and now she needs Ben's help!

I am no legal expert ("we have noticed Paul"), but I do want to give an hint about what I am on about when I mention the words "Feudal law" or Roman law or modern law – it if be wrong….. well see later for my "get out of jail" card on that.
Before I say anything more I had better state that one can have serfdom without feudalism (for example the Emperor Diocletian established de facto serfdom by declaring that peasants could not leave the land – and many other legal systems had done this before him) and one can have feudalism without serfdom (places like Sark, feudal to only a couple of years ago, were not known for serfdom).
"Feudalism" is (if it is anything – other than just a word) a system where people swear loyality (they make an active choice) it is a MILITARY thing at base, and "feudal" law is about (fundementally) such blood contracts (after all one is swearing to defend someone to the death – one's own death, and the other side of this contract, the obligations of one's lord, has to be fundemental also) are based on tradition and custom – made into formal law. That is why (by the way) "Feudal" law can be different in different places – different old customs and traditions.
"Feudal" law can not, logically, be anything else (than old customs and traditions presented as formal law). as if this law can be changed by "the Prince" (either a Roman Emperor or a modern "legislature") then they can not be part of a contract – as they are, effectively, "above the law" (because the can change it whenever they feel like doing so).
One swears to defend one's lord to the death and he (or she – for a fedual overlord can be female) swears to unhold the law (as, for example, Henry the First of England did in his formal charter of 1100 – in order to get the people to rally to him against his older brothers) – if the "the law" is simply whatever they say it is (as with a Roman Emperor or a modern Parliament or other legislature) then this is not Feudalism – any more than the "my honour is loyality" of the SS was the warrior code of Northman (indeed, as Tolkien noted, to pretend that there is no difference between honour and loyality – and to hold that loyality is unconditional, i.e. that one will do dishonorable things if ordered to do so, is a direct and deliberate MOCKERY of the traditional honour code). One swears to to defend one's lord to the death (one's own death) in return not for "protection" (that is a Roman view of law – or a modern one – after all if one is promising to shed one's life's blood for someone else personal protection is not the main thing in play), but for JUSTICE for the upholding of tradition and custom. Seen as a manifestation in this world of divine and universal justice (different in details from place to place – but not in fundemenal PRINCIPLE and, for the same reason, not changing fundemenally over time). This is why the oath is a sacred thing – based on the creator of the universe and the natural law itself.
"All theory Paul – what does this mean in PRACTICE?"
Very well.
First for Roman law (i.e. late Roman law – the law of the Empire). For this I will turn to "Justinian's Institutes" (Cornell University Press 1987). By the way this is only a tiny part of Roman law of the time – there were many volumes of the writings of previous law officers and the legislation of Emperors (actually the truth of the so called "Code of Justinian" is that most of it is not from Justinian and it is not a code, the "Twelve Tables" back in 450 B.C. may or may not have been a code, but the endless rules and regulations that Romans lived under more than a thousand years later certainly were not a code).
In this work it is stated (Book Two, section one "The Classification of Things") that neither the seashore or rivers can be privately owned.
So no private beaches under Roman law – and no protected fishing (or protection of water supply from rivers) either.
Anyone may fish where they like – and no private person or association (what Romans would call a "collegia" – spelling alert) may restrict water supply by stating that it is private (they can do that with a well – but not with a river).
In the modern age such thing as Spanish law (that holds that no river is private) and even supposedly Common Law New Zealand (where the last Labour party government nationalized the sea shore) follow the idea that neither rivers or the sea shore (the beaches) can be private property.
It is very different under Feudal law – the notion of "private property" may not be formally stated (that depends on the exact type of "Feudal" law we are talking about – for example it was stated under the law of Norway) the King (as lord of lords) may (or may not) formally "own" everthing – but he certainly can not BEHAVE as if he does (more on that later).
And rivers and beaches can be de facto owned under Feudal law.
For example under Scots law (inherited from their local version of feudal law) right up to 1845, if you wanted to sell something you gave a public display of what it was – remember most people could not read.
And if you wanted to sell private fishing rights (something that can not exist under Roman law) you, as well making a speech before witnesses (plus anyone who wanted to turn up to the river to watch the former owner of the fishing rights sell them to someone else) you handed over a fish.
For land it was some earth (on the site you were selling – again before witnesses), for the hunting rights of birds it was a bird (again….) and so on.
Also under Roman law the owner of a transport service (say someone who makes their living with a couch or carts) or the owner of an inn (or other establishment of business) could not turn away a customer – could not "discriminate" against them (to use modern language) as the owner of a transport service was a "common carrier" and the owner of an inn provided "public accomidations".
Feudal law does not even know what "common carriers" and "public accomidations" are.
If you owned a cart (or some such) you could transport people or goods. And if you owned a building you could put people up (in return for payment).
But you did not have to do so – if you did not want to.
Owning a cart did not make you part of a special caste that served the state (indeed the term "state" does not really fit into feudal thinking – it is a Roman term or a modern term).
Ditto if you owned a building and put people (if you had a mind to) in return for money, that did not mean you were a special sort of animal called a "public accomidations" person serving the needs of the state (whatever "the state" is supposed to be).
But all the above misses the point anyway……..
As the point is – if Justinian (or some other Emperor) had decided (on a whim) to change the above "legal principles" they could (they were above the law – and could make the law whatever their WILL wished it to be).
If a feudal overlord said one day "I have decided to change the law – after all the law is whatever I say it is". People would have thought they had gone mad – they might even have called a priest to fight against the demon or devil that had taken over the mind of their lord.
Of course one would fight to the death to save the life of one's lord – but the lord had no rightful power to "change the law". After all that would mean a power to overthrow custom and tradition – the manifestation in the land (the spirit of the land) of the law of God, the natural law of the universe. This might manifest itself differently in different lands (depending on the customs and traditions of that land and people), but the fundemental principles of the law were divine and universal.
Of course Roman legal thinkers (like Greek Stoics and Aristotelians before them) also accepted the existance of natural law – but they held that state law trumped it.
"Feudal" thinking (when understood the concept of "the state" at all – which it did not really) held the exact opposite.
The King might give orders in battle and war (and so on) – but if his orders went against the law, they were void (at least to a man of honour). That is why "the spirit of Nurenberg" ("I was only obeying orders") might be fine from a Roman point of view – but does not make any sense from a "feudal" one.
The lord may call upon you to fight to the death – indeed he should not have to call (you should do that without him asking). But he may not order you to rob or murder someone else – to commit an injustice.
Of course terrible injustices (mass murder, rape and so on) might still occur. But if someone said "what I did was lawful because the Prince (or council or….) told me to it" then they simply showed (even to a person with no learning at all) that they simply did not understand what the words "right" and "law" meant – and were, at best, insane.
Canon Law (church law – and it is impossible to understand "feudal" law without understanding the influence of religion upon it – whether Christian or PAGAN) held the same view – see Brian Tierney's "The Idea of Natual Rights" (Emery University 1997).
Like Roman Law, Canon Law held that there was positive law (the commands of the Prince – of council in a Republic like Venice) and natural law.
But (like "feudal" thinking) it turned the Roman law thinking on its head.
Far from "positive" law trumping natural law – natural law trumped the "will of the ruler".
Hence more than a thousand years of Church-State disputes (or disputes between Canon Lawyers and Roman Lawyers – in spite of them, in many ways, shareing the same tradition) they looked at things in reverse ways.
"That was just because the Church wanted to declare what natural law was – as a power grab"
Partly YES – but the Church always made a distinction between Christian practices (the rules of the Church) and the universal laws of God – that applied to nonChristians as much as to Christians (indeed even to nonChristians AGAINST Christians).
Of course some Popes and so on were corrupt scumbags guilty of every crime known to man – but some were not, and even the worst of them held that there were things they should not do (even if they did them) the idea that their WILL was law, would have been denounced as the vomit of the Devil (even by the worst Popes.
Canon lawyers (like "Feudal" ones) would have regarded the pretensions of modern Parliaments (and "human rights" courts) to change fundemental law as they see fit – as, at best, insanity and (more likely) as clear evidence that these "legislatures" and "judges" were agents of the Evil One.
And one must not think that such people were stupid or filled with silly fancies. Many of the Popes and theologians of the past were profound legal thinkers and philosophers – not every Pope spent their time chasing girls and murdering rivals (and even the oness that did often did good work also).
Still back to "Feudal" law – and a single example to come to the end of this post……
I draw from "A Summery view of the feudal law, with the differences of the Scots law from it; together with a dictionary of the select terms of the Scots and English law, by way of appendix" (John Dundas 1710).
As a general rule of thumb – the older an account of "feudal" law the better. As old accounts are more concerned with just laying the thing out – not (like Maitland and his, Blackstone influenced [no wonder the Founding Fathers of the United States despised Blackstone - with his doctrine that whatever Parliament declared was law], crew "explaining" what law "must" be i.e. whatever the state, Parliament, says it is).
Difference number 80.
"By the Feudal law no Man is forced to part with or sell his Few [fief of land] or any part of it.
By our law [i.e. law made by Parliament and so on] a vassel may be forced to give some part of it for High-ways and if his Neighbour be building a Park, or Inclosure, he may be forced to sell an adjacent corner of his Grounds to him, to perfect it".
This is much like the so called "Edict of Quierzy" (877) which repeated the "old right" that not even a King of France could take the land of one person and give it to another (or himself).
To a Roman lawyer this makes no sense.
To a modern lawyer (such as that scumbag Maitland – and I am right to call him a "scumbag" after all he claims that no Act of Parliament "has ever been passed" that was irational or evil, so there is no need for any judge or jury to oppose an Act of Parliament as being against natural justice, a concept he scorns anyway – I could name a hundred Acts of Parliament passed before Maitland wrote that Devil-vomit lie, that were utterly evil and against basic natural justice) it makes no sense also.
As Maitland says, mocking the upholders of the "speculative dogma" of natural justice "We can (its upholders seem to say) concieve that a statute might be so irational, so wicked, that we would not want to enforce it; but as a matter of fact, we have never known such a statute made."
Pages 107-108 "A Sketch of English Legal History" G.P. Putnam and Sons, New York and London (1915) chapter five (written by Maitland rather than his coarthor Francis Montague) on "Statute and Common Law".
Oh you dog Maitland, you pig – may you be burning, even as I type these words, for your lies. What of the Statute of Labourers that tried to reduce all peasants (including those who had always been free – such as the people of Kent) to serfs? Much in the manner of the Emperor Diocletian. Or the Stature of Artificers under the first Elizabeth that tried to turn all people (bar the rich) into de facto slaves – forbidden to practice any other trade than that of their father, and forbidden to leave the parish of their birth? What of the "Black Act" (passed as late as the 1700s) that punished some two hundred crimes (some quite minor) with death?
What of so many other Acts of Parliament – both so irational and so wicked that no one (other than a monster) would uphold them?
However, I hope the idea of law as trying (in the circumstances of time and place) to give effect to the principles of jusice (NOT the WILL of the ruler or rulers – in the mannor of the late Roman Empire or of Thomas Hobbes and his "Legal Positivists" with their Hell vomit doctrine that whatever the "legistlature" declares is law) makes a some sense to libertarians.
As for my errors – no doubt many and terrible……
I offer the words of John Dundas.
"If this Treatise should happen to be less correct, the Reader would be pleased to give himself the trouble to mend the Errors, and excuse what is amiss, this Book being given to be printed by a certain person when the Author was our of Town, and knew nothing of the publishing of it, not having designed so soon to send it abroad into the world."

MESA, Ariz. (AP) - A large debris fire is burning for a third day near the Loop 202 freeway in Mesa.
State highway patrol officers are monitoring the blaze Friday due to concerns that smoke could pose driver visibility issues along the freeway.
Authorities say it's still unclear what started the 15-foot pile of yard waste to start burning Wednesday. But they suspect it started spontaneously due to the natural breakdown of the organic material.
The fire poses challenges to fire crews due to the large amount of material fueling the flames.
Fire crews hope to break up the pile to speed up the burning process by using heavy equipment among other methods.
No structures have been threatened by the blaze.

Screams the headline on Huffington Post. It has become evident that the White House is not only not doing enough for a public option but actually not fighting against the proposals being pushed. It might be surprising to some but the writing was on the wall for a long time.
Since the story first broke on TPM the White House released the following statement:
"The report is false. The White House continues to work with the Senate on the merging of the two bills. We are making good progress toward enacting comprehensive health reform."
However Huffington Post did a detailed follow-up:
But the push-back, say sources with direct knowledge of deliberations between leadership and the administration, does not square with Obama's private indications to Senate leaders. The sources say that the president has left little doubt about his apprehension regarding an opt-out approach.
It is not philosophical, one White House aide explained, but is a matter of political practicality. If the votes were there to pass a robust public option through the Senate, the president would be leading the charge, the aide said. But after six months of concern that it would be filibustered, the bet among Obama's aides is that Reid is now simply being too optimistic in his whip count. The trigger proposal, said Democratic aides, has long been associated with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
"He's been so convinced by his political people from the beginning that we can't get a bill with a public option, he's internalized it. Even though it's now become obvious we can get a bill without selling out the public option, he's still on that path," said a top Democratic source. The White House, he said, continues to assure progressives it'll improve the bill in conference negotiations between the Senate and House, but advocates are unconvinced.
"If we're this close in the Senate and they're not helping us, I have a feeling they could screw us in the conference," said one.
Moderates in the Democratic party have been dithering on the public option without any leadership from the White House. As a result we have a vague statements like this emanating from the conservative Democrats:
Appearing on ABC's "This Week," Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO.) conspicuously did not predict that a robust, national public option would pass. The Missouri Democrat said that leadership would likely "end up... having votes on a number of choices" including a public plan that states could opt into, one they could opt-out of, and a plan that would be triggered in "if these insurance companies don't manage to bring down costs within a certain period of time."
McCaskill, who recommitted herself to voting for the public option, told ABC that the final product would likely be "some kind of opportunity to go to a public not-for-profit among many private options for people don't currently have insurance."
It was a remarkably vague response -- though the phrasing seemed to hint that she believed the Senate would settle on a trigger proposal. The concern among senators, McCaskill admitted, was about vote counts. "I would be less than honest if I didn't say all of us were concerned about getting the votes to move forward," she said. "But I remain pretty optimistic."
The lack of any position taken by this President has not gone unnoticed. The lack of enthusiastic support for a compromise like the opt-out has not gone unnoticed even among the Democratic Senators:
That is not good enough, Harkin said. "I've not been very happy with the White House's lukewarm support of the public option," he said, articulating a gripe liberals have been making for months.
"I would hope the president would speak out more forcefully in favor of the public option," Brown said, adding "I expect he will."
The anger in the Democratic base over the sell-out of a campaign promise has riled people up. The upside of it is Sen. Harry Reid, who is now fighting a tight re-election campaign, now appears to be the champion for public option reacting to pressure from the progressive base:
On Thursday evening, after taking the temperature of his caucus, Reid told Obama at a White House meeting that he was pushing a national public option with an opt-out provision. Obama, several sources briefed on the exchange, reacted coolly.
Finally the progressives have turned their attention to the President, who beyond giving repetitive speeches has really not done much to shore up the waffling moderates to support the public option, instead has propped Sen. Olympia Snowe as the de facto commander on this issue. It is time for this President to act like a Democratic President and live up to his campaign promises to the same grass-roots that helped elect him instead of placating with empty speeches and carefully organized beltway talking points. Here is the latest ad directed towards the president:
It is high time progressive joined this campaign: http://yeswestillcan.org/p-tpm

Mental Mondays #11
With this week's mental and oral starter idea we are thinking about counting on (and counting back) and place value.
Like most of our other suggestions this can very easily be adapted to suit the needs of your children, which means it could be used with Early Years right up to Key Stage 3. We have also found that it adds a renewed level of interest and enthusiasm to 'counting on'.
Here's how it works with (say) Y3 children. You need a set of five cards showing different counting steps – these can be simply numbers written on scraps of card:
The cards are shuffled and held face down by the teacher. The top card is turned over and held up so all of the children can see it, they start counting from zero in steps as indicated on the card, for example:
"2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14"
The card is displayed throughout the count.
When the count is established (after seven or eight numbers), the teacher puts the card down and immediately shows the next one, the count must continue unbroken from the point where the cards were swapped:
(continuing from 14) "19, 24, 29, 34, 39, 44, 49"
Next card…
(continuing from 49) "50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57"
Next card…
(suddenly we are counting down) "47, 37, 27, 17, 7"
Next card…
"107, 207, 307, 407, 507…"
When children are confident with this, and can move fluently form one type of counting to another, the cards can be changed more frequently. You could also ask a child to take control of the cards; to orchestrate the counting.
Extension and Alternative ideas:
Younger children could use a simplified set of counting cards; possibly ones containing duplicates, so that on occasions when the card changes the counting step remains the same. For example:
1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 10
More able groups should be challenged by using a broader range of counting steps:
-10, -5, -2, 0.5, 3, 7, 9, 50
It would also be useful to use algebraic variables
This is displayed on the wall:
a = 2
b = 10
c = 100
Counting cards include:
1/b, 1/a, ab, c/a
Extension – challenge the children to keep the counting cards the same, but to find other values for the letters a, b and c that would give meaningful counting steps.

Of course, Riesling wines are quite diverse and complex – but how do you convince consumers of this when the stigma has been around for decades? Enter the International Riesling Foundation (IRF), a non-profit industry group formed to promote the grape. As part of a new marketing initiative from IRF, Riesling bottles being sold in the US this year will feature a Riesling Taste Profile designed to help consumers assess the taste of a bottle before opening it. Divided into the four categories of Dry, Medium Dry, Medium Sweet, and Sweet, the profile aims to make people aware of the range of styles Riesling can be made in. Wineries in the five largest Riesling-producing US states have signed up to the program, along with producers from other countries including Germany and Canada. Nicolas Quillé of Washington's Pacific Rim Winery has been using the scale on his back labels since late 2OO8 and saw business grow 5O% in 2OO9.

Graves are collapsing at veterans cemeteries across the state. It's a problem that needs to be fixed, but the plan being considered for upkeep could lead to another problem.
"Anything that's slightly out of alignment sticks out like a sore thumb," said Many-Bears Grinder, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs.
At the Tennessee Veterans Cemetery in Nashville and other veterans cemeteries across the state, some graves have started to sink, mainly from settling over the years.
"When (a) grave sinks, it's unsightly to the family of the veteran who deserves the best," Grinder said.
Workers spend many hours every day patching holes, filling graves with dirt and spreading grass seed in order to repair the sinking graves.
"We see, in some parts of the state, veterans being brought to the cemetery in trash bags, cardboard boxes, and some of those in caskets don't have vaults," Grinder said.
And that's part of the problem.
"What happens as a result over time, that material deteriorates, and the graves sink," she said.
Cemetery officials said they normally see graves starting to sink after a slow soaking rain, something as much as 2 to 4 inches.
The problem is much worse in Memphis, where graves are sinking at an alarming rate in part because of the soil and weather. The number of veterans buried there nearly doubles the other cemeteries in the state.
"Our veterans have served. They have sacrificed, and their final resting place should be nothing but pristine perfection," Grinder said.
It costs nearly $216,000 a year to repair the graves, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Now, there is a proposal on the table to outsource the maintenance of veterans cemeteries in the state, but outsourcing may come with a price: Possible job loss.
"If this comes to fruition, we're going to work very closely with those employees to do everything we can for them to gain employment," Grinder said. "For example, we want to write into the contract they are required to interview each employee who will not be retained."
Grinder presented a $4.9 million budget request to Gov. Bill Haslam this week. The department is asking for an additional $1.1 million for the potential outsourcing work.

High school can be tough for teens. Going from kid to adult in just four years, trying to find yourself and target your future, and don't forget about internet bullies and acne. All of this on top of summer jobs, extra curricular activities and getting that A+ is enough to make even the most focused teen lose sight of her priorities.
The road to college is especially precarious for student athletes with schedules as strenuous as their team practices. According to Coach Chris Buck, however, making the goal and making the grade is totally realistic for students.
The brokerage firm owner turned life coach now dedicates his life toward helping student athletes raise their expectations of themselves and reach their highest potential through Get It Done consulting.
"I once had a student tell me 'I'm just a B student' and I said, 'No, you're an A student putting forth B effort,' and it just clicked for him. I help identify and tear down barriers they didn't know existed," said Buck.
Buck, a current New Canaan resident, went back to school for his Masters in Sports Psychology and uses his knowledge of brain development to develop the most effective means of communication with teenagers.
"I work from the future backwards," said Buck, "I ask them where they want to be when they're 30, and then I tell them, 'OK, well you need have a good job at 23 if you want to be there when you're 30, and you need to get into a good college if you want a good job at 23, and you need good grades if you want to get into a good college, which is why you need to study right now for that quiz tomorrow.'
"I also focus on learning to learn and not just to get an A. I'll say 'Don't study Spanish like you have a quiz tomorrow. Study Spanish like you're spending the summer in Spain and you need to navigate the country," said Buck.
Buck says he started to consider a new career path after 9/11 when he starting thinking about what he'd like to do everyday for the rest of his life, even if he didn't get paid for it. He eventually left Wall Street to pursue a life helping kids succeed and started Get It Done consulting in September of 2008.
"It's awesome. It's just the best," said Buck, "I get to change their perception of self where they don't think they can do it, find out why and change that. When a student goes from a 2.6 to a 3.5 in one quarter, he thinks of himself as a different person. It was tough starting from scratch, but I love it and wouldn't change a thing. It's the best job ever."
Buck works with students for a ten-month period, meets with them once every two weeks for an hour, and is available to mentor his students 24/7. While his focus is generally on academics, Buck is also a sports coach and helps guide athletes through their chosen sport as well.
There are numerous testimonials on the Get It Done website, one from a parent reads:
"Chris Buck coached our daughter for three years in high school. Her freshman year coach told her that she should not expect to play Division 1 lacrosse. However, under Chris' guidance, she made the Arizona All-star team for three years, was named First Team All-American and Academic All-American her Junior year, and her senior year was named First Team All State Midfielder of the Year and led the league in scoring."
Another from a student reads:
"Coach Buck's "Get it Done Experience" has proved to be invaluable. In the two years since I stared working with Coach my grade point average has improved 5 percentage points. Not only has he improved my GPA but he has helped me to become a more focused and objective individual on and off the field. He has stayed on top of my grades and athletic schedule at all times helping me to keep things in order. He is always available and willing to help. I credit much of my new found academic and athletic success to Coach Buck. "

Renovations to Calumet Park is expected to be complete next month, according to LaGrange City Manager Tom Hall.
LaGrange City Council voted in September to spend $100,000 on park improvements after Hall said several residents in the area approached the council at several council meetings requesting revitalization of the area.
"We're always interested in working with neighborhoods to make a positive impact and improve the quality of life," said Hall.
Work began late October with the demolition and removal of the pavilion in the park and the repairing of the roof to the concession stand.
The basketball court has been revamped, the pavilion has been replaced and a parking lot and walkways have been paved around and throughout the park.
In the upper level of the park, there will be additional playground equipment, a splash pad and fountain area large enough to accommodate 40 children, and a green space for play.
Picnic tables and grills will also be stationed throughout the park.
The project is paid for with special-purpose local option sales tax money that had been set aside for neighborhood park revitalization and a community development fund from that federal government that is to be used in underprivileged areas, Hall said.
The city will cover water costs for the splash pad.
All fixes to the park are expected to be complete by Memorial Day, said Hall, who believes the neighborhood splash pad and park will be a success.
"This will be the first one-splash pad- in a neighborhood with such nice features," said Hall. "It's going to be very popular and it's going to have a positive impact."

787 fire investigation looks at pinched battery wiring
Investigators believe the July 12 fire on a 787 Dreamliner at Heathrow was likely caused by incorrect installation of a battery that pinched some wires and caused a short circuit.
Seattle Times aerospace reporter
Boeing and government investigators now believe the July 12 fire on a 787 Dreamliner at Heathrow Airport in London was likely caused by the incorrect installation of a small lithium battery inside an electronic device.
If that's confirmed, the fire was due to human error, not a Boeing design flaw.
U.K. investigators who examined the device, called an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) and made by Honeywell, found that the internal wires connecting the battery to the ELT had been trapped and pinched when the cover was reattached as the batteries were inserted, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter, one inside Boeing and one outside.
In photos of what was left of the device, "You can clearly see the two wires crossed over each other. It's quite evident the wires show evidence of being smashed," one source said.
Installing the battery package entails unscrewing the cover of the relatively small device, dropping the battery pack of five cells into a slot and connecting the two wires that protrude from the battery pack to a receptacle in the ELT.
It appears the wires were trapped when the cover was put back on.
The leading theory concerning the cause of the fire at this stage is that the pinching of the wires compromised the insulation, and the crossed wires short-circuited to start the fire, which was then fueled by the lithium ion battery, said the two sources.
Boeing has issued a service bulletin to operators telling them to either remove or inspect the batteries.
That will be followed up later this week by a mandatory Airworthiness Directive from the Federal Aviation Administration telling 787 operators "to inspect for proper wire routing and any signs of wire damage or pinching," according to an FAA statement last week.
The inspection involves removing the 7-pound ELT from its bracket, unscrewing the cover and examining the wires. It takes less than an hour, one source said.
The ELT, which transmits location data to satellites in the event of a crash, is not unique to the 787. Honeywell has produced about 6,000 of them for many different jets since 2008.
Honeywell could not be reached late Tuesday for comment. Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel said the jet maker "cannot comment due to the ongoing investigation."
The fire on the Ethiopian Airlines 787 caused intense heat damage above the ceiling at the back of the passenger cabin. It scorched a large area of the carbon-fiber skin on the crown of the fuselage just in front of the vertical tail fin.
The two sources suggested that Honeywell might have replaced the batteries at some stage before delivery of the jet because the devices sat on the shelf during the years-long 787 program delays.
If this were correct, it could explain why the accident happened to the 787 in particular.
Investigators are also looking at whether overheating of the batteries as they sat parked in the sun during the four-month grounding of the 787 fleet earlier this year could have led to internal damage that contributed to the failure.
There's no evidence of moisture damaging the batteries, which had been another theory put forward in the press.
For now the FAA will require inspections only of the 787 fleet, but it will later have to consider whether to demand closer inspection of ELTs on other jets — especially when the batteries are changed.

Thanks for that Digitalversus link. At least it's something. Same driver too as the L1. Neutral, so they say.
Sounds really interesting.
Thanks for that Digitalversus link. At least it's something. Same driver too as the L1. Neutral, so they say.
Sounds really interesting.
Interested in reading some impressions about this M1
I have to admit I returned them to Amazon after a short listening session: too recessed highs for my taste, a bit bloated bass and too hot on my ears for prolonged office use -- overall a disappointment to me. Anybody looking for a fun amount of bass might like the sound signature though.
I do still own the L1, which shares some of these faults but has better build quality overall (cups are metal, not plastic, headband has better cushion etc.), still too dark but avoids the midbass hump I had with the M1 a bit better. Nevertheless I'm going to sell them as soon as the next pair of my small collection drops down to 'office use' ;-)
I tried them today. My ears tend to hurt easily with on ear, but the comfort on these ones was really good. I think the sound was alright but perhaps a bit too much bass for me, especially in this price range. I don't like the thought about turning down the bass or increasing the treble for something more expensive than Koss Porta Pro.
I bought them today with a 50% discount. However, I am still a little disappointed. As with the L1, comfort is amazing. Build quality is not on the same level, but still good.
Sound, though, is a different story.
It's not just warm and bassy, but there's really missing some highs at the top end. Bass bleeds and timbre is really not so good. Resolution is poor.
For us head-fiers the M1 should not be interesting. The HD25-II easily owns the Fidelio M1!
I think masses will be better off with the M1 instead of Beats Solo or Bose on-ear, but sadly the M1 belongs into the same category.
what about isolation on these?
I own them. did a write up:

Tonight's game against Cincinnati is going to be a tough test for a Hoya team that found a way to win over the weekend despite a lackluster performance. But, as much as I know how wrong it is, I have to admit that I'm already looking ahead to Saturday's game. I'm not looking ahead to just watching the Orange get crushed at Verizon. I'm looking ahead and looking forward to the Senior Day ceremony that will precede the Orange beatdown.
Senior Day Memories After The Jump:
Most Hoya fans from the Ewing era point to the John Thompson Jr. and Fred Brown hug after securing the National Championship as the most emotional moment in Georgetown basketball history. After all, this could have been written by Hollywood -- basketball player who threw away a chance at a National Championship is vindicated two years later and before 60 or so million Americans shares an emotional hug with his head coach. It was pretty good stuff. In fact, it was a great moment.
But for me, it was not the most emotional moment in my Hoya personal history. That was because it was a TV experience and watching something on TV, even on a 90 inch HD projection TV, can't ever approach the feeling of being there.
In fact the most emotional moments for me were not part of the actual games. The most moving moment for me was the speech John Thompson Jr. gave to students and fans in the aftermath of the loss to North Carolina in 1982. In a nondescript New Orleans hotel ballroom, JT Jr summed up what it meant to be part of the Georgetown community. Putting a week of Hoya Paranoia aside, Thompson emotionally told the crowd how proud he was of his team and how his team had exhibited what's best about the Georgetown community for 40 minutes on that now famous Monday night. It was the best recruiting pitch I'd ever heard for joining Georgetown or any organization for that matter. And it sure made the 24 hour drive home go a lot better.
A close second on emotional moments was Senior Day 1982. Yes, 1982 was a magical season for the Hoyas. But much of that magic was not yet revealed to all of us. This random Tuesday night in February wasn't about winning National Championships, it was about celebrating four years of commitment to the University, the student body, and the game.
These were my classmates we were honoring that night. Rather than hitting the floor with the usual Hoya swagger, the five seniors walked out calmly and slowly with their Mothers and Fathers, Grandmothers and little sisters, all dressed in their Sunday finest.
We honored Eric Smith that night. He was without a doubt the steadiest player on the team. A shutdown defender who could and would score on nights that Sleepy Floyd was off, or Patrick Ewing was in foul trouble. That night I remembered Eric from our Intro to Drama class and his memorable performance of the Richard Burton character in Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolff. Eric is at almost every home game sitting along the Hoya baseline.
We honored Mike Hancock that night. Mike was about 6' 9", but could not have weighed more than about 200 pounds soaking wet. He started on a team that was one pass away from a national championship. LIke Eric, Iremeber Mike from class also. He was a tall African American version of Michael J Fox's Alex Keaton. Came to class every day wearing a sports coat and carrying a briefcase.
We honored Ed Spriggs that night. Ed was working as a mailman, or so the story goes, when Thompson recruited him. Bad knees and all, he provided defense, rebounding and five hard fouls every game. In an age before blogs and nonstop sports talk, "the mailman" was the everyman that students and the broader community could all relate to. He didn't have a lot of natural talent, but he left it all on the court every night.
And of course we honored Sleepy Floyd that night. The leading scorer in Georgetown history, Eric walked out with family just like all the other seniors. Just like Jim Corcoran, a walk-on who on that night was as big a part of the team and ceremony as Sleepy or Patrick.
It was an emotional night because whether we shared classes or nothing more than games, we had all grown up together. And this February ceremony was the first of many reminders that our time on campus and in college was coming to an end.
We destroyed a pretty good Providence team that night. The players, the parents and the fans all left the Cap Center proud to part of the special community Thompson would point to in defeat only a month later.
In many ways I feel a connection to our current seniors that rivals my graduating class. After a good decade or more of losing track of Georgetown basketball, I randomly went to a meaningless December game a few years back and was hooked again. I think we beat up on American that day. I remember the swagger of a very young but aggressive scorer named Chris Wright and effortless scoring potential of his running mate Austin Freeman.
The last four years have been a great ride thanks to Chris, Austin, Julian Vaughn and Ryan Dougherty. There will be other opportunities for us to extol their virtues on these pages. Saturday is about making sure their parents and families understand how much they mean to us. Smacking down the Orange will be gravy on an already special day.
One last note, we should not take these days for granted. It is a big part of what makes Georgetown special. John Calipari won't be hosting a Seniors Day. In fact, most big time programs will have said goodbye to their stars well before the hint of graduation. Not at Georgetown. With the exception of Allen Iverson and Jeff Green, our stars stay for four years. It is one big reason Hoya basketball is special, and different from most elite programs.

Gregg Will be Comm Sec Mon.-NYT-And?
by art3, Sat Jan 31, 2009 at 09:15:25 AM EST
Sen. Gregg of NH will be Comm. Sec Monday says NYT. We need the 28th amendment passed prohibiting guvs from appointing senators-and this case will show why yet again. It appears Gregg cuts a deal with Guv Lynch to have a republican replace him-a placeholder. Some say former moderate GOPer Sen. Rudman may get the seat until 2010. Others think Lynch may appoint his close friend Ms. Swett-a moderate democrat who chaired Lieberman's 2004 presidential bid. Swett would be the best we could get out of libertarian NH. NH is going more Dem so I expect Rep Hodes, a democrat to tae the seat in 2010 even more easily now. Expect a liberal firestorm if a Dem guv fails to deliver that 60th seat we so need. In addition, expect that 28th amendment ending these appointments to get real momentum from pissed House and Senate Dems. This will be a real show.
Obama Ready to Pick Republican Senator for Commerce Post
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
Published: January 31, 2009
WASHINGTON -- The White House on Saturday confirmed the widespread speculation that President Obama is set to pick Senator Judd Gregg, Republican of New Hampshire, as his nominee for commerce secretary.
If Gov. John Lynch of New Hampshire, a Democrat, replaced Mr. Gregg with a member of his own party, that would put the Democratic majority at 60 -- a magic number in the Senate, because 60 is the number of votes needed to control the legislative agenda and block a Republican filibuster.
But there are no guarantees that Mr. Lynch will pick a Democrat: New Hampshire is a state that prizes its political independence, and Mr. Lynch is a moderate. Some analysts say the governor could turn to a well-regarded Republican -- the name of Warren Rudman, a former senator from New Hampshire, has been mentioned -- to serve as a kind of "caretaker senator" to fill out the remainder of Mr. Gregg's term, which expires at the end of 2010.

Over the last 2 days, give or take, PtR was in chaos. PATFO suprised us all with swapping RJ and a 1st rounder for a chance to put Captain Jack in the sliver and black yet again.
We all started to ponder and wonder why PATFO made it and whether the locker-room can withstand the headcase that it is Steven Jackson. Well, If I wasn't completely sure before last night, now I am: The Real reason is Kawhi Leonard.
You may be wondering, Why didn't pop just benched RJ? Well, this is another greatness of our front office! In order to prevent the humiliation that comes from a vet being benched for a rookie, RC found a way to let RJ play, probably in a place more fit for his abilities. [In my eyes they even sacrificed the 1st rounder for him.]
From what I understand, Pop and TD talked to Jackson before the trade happened. They probably told him that status where he is a sub for Leonard. He had to agree, the fact that he did tells me that it could work.

Steering Rack And Pinion Problems of Chevrolet Cobalt
Chevrolet Cobalt owners have reported 10 problems related to steering rack and pinion (under the steering category).
#1 - Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
The car was a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The steering mechanism on the vehicle has become faulty, fortunately this occured on leaving my house and I was not traveling at speed. . As one drives the steering begins to pull heavily to the right and one has to forcibly hold the steering wheel to keep the vehicle from leaving the road. I took the vehicle to a local mechanic. The initial thought was that this related to the rack and pinion. This was replaced but didnt solve the problem. The mechanic made some inquiries and found that the vehicle had been subjected to a recall for faulty steering. After further examination, he found that the issue related to a sensor in the steering column which had become faulty. Since a recall had been carried out in August 2012, he suggested I refer the matter back to the vendor who performed the recall. The vendor jimmy gray of southaven have told me that the recall was only for a steering motor replacement and that the sensor replacement was not covered. Apparently one needs to replace the entire steering column when the sensor fails. I contacted gm and they are supporting jimmy gray and refusing to replace the sensor as part of the recall. The issue related to the motor asembly may have been wrong in the first place, it could have been the senor all along causing the problem. It would be greatly appreciated if you could look into this matter and advise. This vehicle belongs to my son, I cannot let him drive it the way it is at present. It was Thu., Feb. 21, 2013 when this steering rack and pinion issue occurred.

#4 - Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
The car is a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. I bought a new 08 Cobalt in sept 08. I have had to have two steering columns put in, a power steering pump, stabilizer bars, front end bushings and bearings, and now a rack pinion (along with multiple other unrelated repairs). I took the car back to the dealer (ron marhoffer stow OH) after each repair and was told that there was nothing wrong with the steering or suspension of the car. The car would pull out of my lane to the left and was very difficult to control. I actually lost control of the car and went into a ditch on one occasion. I do not believe that the dealer knows how to fix the problem and therefor just keeps throwing parts in it. However the problem still exists. It is very dangerous. The dealer also replaced multiple fornt end parts including stabilzer bars, bearing and bushings on oth fron wheels tryng to correct the steering problem. I also have had to replace the tires on the car twice on the front end due to abnormal wear and tear from the car constantly pulling while driving. It was February 1, 2009 when this steering rack and pinion issue occurred.
#5 - Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
The car involved is a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. My 2007 Cobalt drove fine,until it reached 55000 miles. One day it felt and sounded like the front end was going to fall out. If I would go slow over a hump,you could hear a knocking noise at the bottom of the steering column. I took it to 6 different mechanics, who checked everything, struts,springs, rack & pinion,etc. Finally,one mechanic,turned the steering wheel left to right about a 1/2 an inch and you could hear a knocking. He said, take it to the dealer, it is the steering. I made at least 10 trips to get it worked on. I was on the phone daily with gm. I explained when I am driving down the road,the car is all over the road,they think I am drunk, it does what it wants to. The steering wheel turns way farther than a normal steering wheel,alot of play. I can park and the wheel will be upside down,but my tires will be straight. Or driving straight and wheel is turned to one side. I was soo upset, mad, because this is a 2007 vehichle. I knew nothing of a recall. They replaced my 2 front lower control arms and my lower steering column. I had to pay $900. 00 for all of the work. It fixed my problem about 60%. The dealer was so nice and understanding, that he reimburse me. Which I am soo thankful. So I haven't even bothered to get back intouch with them. I am to the point that I do not care. If I wreck, I wreck. I am tired of all the hassling, time, money, aggravation and days on the telephone. I still hear a knocking going over a small hump. I drive slow, stop at railroad crossings,because I try to take care of my car. I have always bought Chevrolet and have never had this kind of trouble. I really do hope they figure this out and they probable do to. They are not allowed to sale any Cobalts off the dealer lots at this time,until it is resolved. I am sure it is not all Cobalts with these problems. I believe atleast 50% of the people have heard or read of these steering problems and are saying that theres does the same thing. I just know that I would hate to be in gm's shoes right now. Thank you. It was Aug. 16, 2009 when this steering rack and pinion issue occurred.

#6 - Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
The vehicle was a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. 2006 chevy Cobalt . The car started to rattle when driving couple days latter the steering wheel started to wobble from side to side. I took it to a automotive repair garage and had the look at the problem and was told by the garage that the rack & pinion steering assembly needed to be replaced. There was a lot of play in the steering assembly. The garage had me speak to the local chevy dealer. The service department informed me that there has been major problems with the Cobalts steering and there is 1. 3 million chevy & pontiac cars that have a steering issues but there is nothing they could do for me but buy a new assembly at $367. 00 plus labor to correct the problem. Gm might recall the problem. The steering has locked up on me today after the gm dealer said it was ok to drive. Thank god I was no going at a low speed. I hope that nobody gets killed. I have parked the car until I can have a new assembly installed by the repair garage. The assembly is a special order from a gm dealer. This also takes a toll on the tires and front end. This steering rack and pinion problem happened on March 2, 2010.
#7 - Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt

See all problems of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt.
#9 - Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
The vehicle involved is a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt. Bought a used 2005 chevy Cobalt for my son when he graduated from high school. It had less than 30,000 miles on it but no warranty because of the year. A couple of weeks later he started having problems with the power steering. In researching the problem I have found that it is a major issue with the 2005 and 2006 Cobalt. The dealership is well aware of the problem but their hands are tied because no recall has been issued. When you spend the money to replace the rack and pinion and the power steering motor it is a new design so chevy is obviously aware of the problem because they redesigned the faulty part. I will pay the $2,000 to get my son's car repaired because his safety is a priority. What I don't understand is with the number of complaints how has chevy gotten away with not issuing a recall. The power steering comes and goes randomly and if you are pulling on a steering wheel with no power and suddenly the power steering comes back you are likely to lose control and hit something or someone. My guess is that someone will have to be killed before it becomes an issue and I don't understand why it has to get to that point before they are forced to do something. This problem occurred on November 2, 2009.
#10 - Steering Rack And Pinion problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
The car was a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt. There were no events leading to the failure of the power steering system. I was driving the car under my everyday commute and the power steering system went out and the message center flashed power steering. Since the initial failure there has been no power steering in my vehicle. The system appears to function properly until driving begins and then the steering system shuts down and leaves me with just a rack and pinion system to operate with. The failure date was Monday, February 2, 2009.

The way you train can affect your results. When attempting to achieve maximal growth, many people make the common mistake of increasing training volume and intensity. Instead, you should emphasize heavier movements, doing fewer reps and total sets and resting longer between sets. Include the following tips to get the most from your program:
- Emphasize heavy compound movements. These exercises -- deadlifts, bench presses, shoulder presses, squats and pull-ups -- are the most efficient for stimulating more muscle growth. Build your workouts around them.
- Keep training sessions to no more than four per week. Training every day will burn too many calories and undercut the benefits of the overfeeding day. Train four times weekly and try to complete all workouts in 60 minutes or less.
- Emphasize heavy weights in the 6 - 8 rep range. This range is best for stimulating muscle growth. Avoid high-rep sets, except for warm-ups.
- Avoid detail and finishing movements. Single-joint, isolation movements are for refining, not building muscle mass. Drop the majority of them from your routine for this two-month program, except, of course, when training arms.
- Emphasize free weights over cables and machines. Often, cable and machine moves are detail movements; most of these are not good mass-builders. Eliminate them during this program.
- Keep cardio moderate. Don't perform more than three 30-minute sessions of cardio per week and keep it leisurely. You'll still get the heart benefits, but you don't want to burn too many calories, which will undercut the effects of your overfeeding program.

It appears that the Philadelphia police department is looking to do balistics test to see if the gun is related to the 2008 shooting. Once again, the report seems slanted against Harrison in what is becoming typical ESPN fashion. This doesn't look particularly good for Harrison but there still is not much of a case against him.

12:25am Sunday 8th April 2012 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Chris O'Dowd has revealed he is enjoying planning his wedding to fiancee Dawn Porter.
The Bridesmaids star, who announced his engagement on Twitter last December, insisted he was not finding planning special day at all stressful - yet.
Chris said: "It's been going really well. Do you know what, we're at the really fun bit where we get to pick the music and the food and there's not actually that much stress yet."
But the 32-year-old Irish actor and comedian admitted starring in wedding comedy Bridesmaids had made him aware of how wedding planning can go wrong.
He joked: "I've always been scared of women because they're such bizarre creatures, so yeah I'm terrified of it all.
"But it's good. I'm going to enjoy getting married all of the times I do it."

The building became an almost communal haven for artists. Elaine deKooning had a studio above the orthopedic shop, and the top floors held dancers and sculptors. Frank threw parties here, with John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, and many others. When he wasn't socializing, he watched westerns on his black-and-white TV and wrote poems, but only occasionally. Mostly, at 791 Broadway, Frank O'Hara drank. The contents of his refrigerator, says Gooch, had been "winnowed down to a bottle of vodka, a bottle of vermouth, and some olives for martinis."
At this time, his poems began to publish in earnest. It would have been to this address that copies of Lunch Poems were sent from City Lights. And it would have been here, on a muggy Friday morning, that he packed a bag for a weekend in Fire Island where he met his death under the wheels of a beach taxi.

The sad thing is, this isn't the only building with a story like that. (Jeremiah's Vanishing New York/Orange Crate Art)

What a tragic image: A man and his son handcuffed and shackled together, yet musingly delighted about seeing a senior family member whom they are not going inside to visit. Rather, the two are to join in what is widely considered as America's modern day form of slavery. The inhumanity represented in this artwork should be disturbing to anyone with a conscience – but few are moved.

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby was named captain of Team Canada for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Crosby was considered the favorite to receive the honor but Chicago Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews was also considered. Toews and Nashville Predators defenseman Shea Weber will serve as alternate captains. "Sidney, Jonathan and Shea have been leaders on the international stage in the past, as well as with their NHL teams," Team Canada coach Mike Babcock said in a statement. "These three players will be at the forefront of our efforts in Sochi, but we are confident we have 25 players on our roster that will lead in their own way and allow our team to be successful." The selection of Crosby as captain was led by Team Canada executive director Steve Yzerman. Crosby has 25 goals and 43 assists in 48 games this season. He leads the NHL with 68 points. Scott Niedermayer was captain of Canada's 2010 team in Vancouver, and was recently inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Crosby scored the game-winning goal in overtime against the U.S. to win the gold medal. Russia selected Detroit Red Wings center Pavel Datsyuk as captain. Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara is Slovakia's captain and Montreal Canadiens center Tomas Plekanec is captain of the Czech Republic. The U.S. team has not yet announced its captain. General manager David Poile said Minnesota Wild defenseman Ryan Suter, Wild left winger Zach Parise, Los Angeles Kings right winger Dustin Brown, New York Rangers right winger Ryan Callahan and St. Louis Blues center David Backes are the candidates.

LOL...hilarious. You're what...late teen's, early 20's??? I never said anything about picking a QB. Wow...since you started this, I will now end this. You aren't very bright are you? I asked some basic questions regarding OTHER qbs(specifically super bowl winning qbs). I never once said you should draft or pick a qb based on XYZ. Does mom know you're on her computer? For all your knocks on my intelligence, it is obvious you are a moron. Seriously? I actually feel sorry for you. Too f-ing funny. Thanks for the laugh pal.

The fourth round of discussions over the terms of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) took place in the Belgian capital Brussels from 1-5 July.
The Vietnamese delegation at the negotiating table was led by Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Quoc Khanh, while the EU representatives were headed by Mauro Petriccone, Director for Asia and Latin America at the European Commission's Directorate General for Trade.
Both sides declared themselves pleased with the progress made during the talks, which focused upon trade in goods and services, investment, customs cooperation, technical barriers to trade (TBT), sustainable development and legal issues.
The latest round of EVFTA talks was described as frank, open and constructive.
The two chief negotiators said that both Vietnam and the EU now have a strong foundation from which to accelerate negotiations, particularly in such major areas as goods and services distribution, investment, intellectual property rights and government procurement.
They added that both sides are aware of the realistic capacity of the other, and are factoring these considerations into their negotiations.
The next round of negotiations is scheduled to be held in Hanoi next November.
Once the FTA is eventually signed, it will benefit Vietnam by fostering trade activities and offering more secured investment for enterprises.
The EU is now Vietnam 's second largest trade partner and largest importer.
Last year, two-way trade between Vietnam and the bloc reached 29.1bn USD. Of that figure, Vietnam 's export turnover to the EU market made up 20.3bn USD.
