Retired army generals: Spend Trident money on the army
Three long-retired British army generals have written to the Times, expressing their opinion that the UK should not - as the government has said it will - renew the Trident nuclear weapons programme. The three ex-soldiers are Field-Marshal Lord Bramall (87, retired as head of the armed forces in 1985); General Lord Ramsbotham ( …
... Prime Minister.
I am sure this was the story line on an episode of Yes Prime Minister, where Hacker tried to re-introduce National Service. He was planning to scrap Trident and use the money for the larger armed forces that would be a result of National Service.
In actual fact, I suspect there's actually MORE need for an independent deterrent now - I'm far from convinced it ever made sense in cold war scenario, but for dealing with rogue states it starts to make sense.
Interesting piece
...and particularly the linked article, Lewis. While I don't agree that Trident should be renewed, your article just goes to show that a cogent, well-written article is more persuasive than liberal-bashing name-calling.
Thing is, of course, that the Lib Dems don't stand just on the promise of decommissioning the nuclear deterrent - if they did, they would make rather more of a fuss about it, and not let the government keep it nice and quiet to avoid upsetting the proles. They stand for, er, Segways! And marriage to remarkably pert Romanians! And, er.... I'm not sure what else...
We don't have a democracy.
We can't decide on individual issues. Every four or five years we can decide between two centre-right parties which have more or less the same policies. We elect one lot until they fuck up the economy, then we chuck them out and elect the other lot. The only time we get a referendum is when the party in power doesn't want to take the blame for the outcome or when it is split down the middle.
Not missing the point
"The three generals mutter discontentedly that "our independent deterrent has become virtually irrelevant except in the context of domestic politics", rather missing the point that this is a democracy and domestic politics is where the issue has to be decided."
I don't think this is missing the point; it is precisely the point. They are claiming that the issue is relevant solely to domestic politics, but the whole reason for a nuclear deterrent is to be relevant to international politics (i.e. to deter someone from doing something). If the British public were deeply concerned about U.K. trade agreements with the moon, it might result in money being allocated, but it still wouldn't make it a good idea. If the programme has no relevance internationally, then it's a waste of money whether it is popular or not.
If you think Trident actually makes a difference to anyone outside the U.K. (other than foreign defense contractors who sell and service bits of it), then you can disagree with them, but don't just dismiss the statement as missing the point.
I can remember the debates in the late 70's about the UK no longer needing large aircraft carriers saying they were no long needed by the UK's defences since we were so focused on defeating the USSR's subs in the north east Atlantic
So we built 3 smaller carriers that could carry 20 harriers each
Then came the Falklands
Then gulf war 1
then Bosnia
Then Afganistan
then Gulf war 2
All where having a large carrier capable of lobbing 60+ planes in the air would be damned handy
Flames... because we'll all end in them
unlikely the military would keep any savings
Putting aside the obvious question about who these puppies would ever be used against[1]. the biggest flaw in these guys arguments is the idea that the military could simply divert the money saved into buying more stuff to kill people. It's much more probable that the govt. would merely trouser the cash themselves - having said to the mil. "look what you made us do" - and spend it on something equally unpopular: like more CCTV, or ID cards.
[1] Nukes are not a weapon per. se. they're merely a tool for diplomacy. however, they're a bloody expensive way to say to other countries "look, we should be taken seriously". Especially when everyone knows that they'd never be used. The popular argument that we don't know what the russians or chinese will develop into over the next 20 years forgets the counter-argument that we don't know what the americans will evolve into either. I tend to agree with the "Yes Minister" view, that the only reason we keep them is because the french have them.
Cold War is over, time to move on.
These guys are right on track if you ask me. Trident is a massive waste of money that is not needed in today's world.
Yes I know some may argue that if your attacked then you should be able to respond, but lets face facts if the UK was attacked then as a NATO member the remaining members would have to come to assist in such an eventuality.
Its amazing that we preach disarmament to others yet still retain these weapons ourselves (at great financial cost), I too would rather the armed forces got what they truly needed rather than my tax money being wasted on Nukes that everyone knows SHOULD NOT ever be used.
As a deterrent their value is worthless because everyone knows that nobody wants to push the button and bring about nuclear annihilation.
The security council
It's a £20bn ticket to sit on the UN security council. No more, no less.
The scenarios in your linked article are lacking context. Does our enemy suddenly decide to fire without our knowledge of their capability, without an existing conflict, without motive?
One other thing:-
"The prime minister has no button to press."
Good, even if we have the response I wouldn't want them to use it, if the missiles are inbound then it's already failed.
Of course ......
I was very, very drunk .........
If the Americans want them, let them pay for them
"Our" Trident missiles can not be fired without US-supplied codes which can be changed by the US without notice 24/7. Unless the current occupant of the White House agrees with the decision to fire them they're just a heap of iron. As such, they can only be fired at America's enemies when America wants them fired. So why are we paying for them and maning them?
Trident is worthless as a weapon or as a diplomatic lever specifically because it is in no way independant. We can't even fire them in response to a direct attack.
Childhood memories come flooding back...
Sir Humphrey: Don't you believe that Great Britain should have the best?
Jim Hacker: Yes, of course.
Sir Humphrey: Very well, if you walked into a nuclear missile showroom you would buy Trident - it's lovely, it's elegant, it's beautiful. It is quite simply the best. And Britain should have the best. In the world of the nuclear missile it is the Saville Row suit, the Rolls Royce Corniche, the Château Lafitte 1945. It is the nuclear missile Harrods would sell you. What more can I say?
Jim Hacker: Only that it costs £15 billion and we don't need it.
Sir Humphrey: [Begrudgingly and exasperated] Well, you can say that about anything at Harrods.
...Well, wikiquote helped.
@ Whitter
If that's the case then the question really needs to be 'Is the seat on the council worth £20bn?'
My own feeling, with admittedly nothing to back it up, is that it is. What else does the UK have that could replace the influence with countries that aren't on the council?
How often is our vote bought at the council and how much is that worth to the UK? Two questions that certainly can't be answered by anyone here but I suspect the answers are 'As often as the Americans want to pay.' and 'Significantly more than £20bn.'
I agree that the scenarios presented in your referenced article do make you think "oh no, we must have a deterrent". However, I suspect once a nuclear war starts it's pretty much game over anyway.
I do think the money might be better spent on better ISTAR equipment and a more flexible range of more precise technologies better suited to the most likely threats (terrorist attacks, support to deployed forces, etc.).
El REG think/regeneration tank needed
Can't you guys bring together a few experts from the old days when IT was a high value game? Then you could spout off on lot of things that are more worthy to be on a spending list.
@"The Cold War is Over" commenters
Yes, the cold war is over. But it lasted for 50 years, and the current trend for antiterrorism has lasted all of 7 (before that we had the ability to combat terrorism without cowering in corners). So it's more likely that we'll need the WMDs.
If we get rid of them then how do we get them back when they ARE useful? Phone up the 'States and say "Excuse me, good man, but we'd like to buy 100 nuclear weapons of varying descriptions. Could you build them have them over here by tommorrow? We're having a spot of bother with the Ruskies, you see"?
Also, if we lose them then we lose the ability to wipe off the map any country allying it with terrorists. Which is a bad thing as it removes a further obstacle for terrorists- and provides no benefit for us beside a couple of tens of billions of pounds that'll just get wasted shoring up failing businesses or better funding the military.
The Nuclear Deterrant is one of those things that takes a great deal of money and provides no visible benefit. But that's the point- if the benefit WAS visible the deterrant would have failed.
From a humanitarian point of view
surely the Trident programme is a good thing? Otherwise those 20bn will be spent on ships and equipment and men with the sole purpose of killing lots of people.
The Trident replacement would be a £20Bn lifeline to millions of people- it's money that can't be spent putting our soldiers at risk. It's money that cant be spent killing little children. It's money that can't be wasted on ID cards or shoring up failing businesses.
Not replacing Trident would cause the death of thousands- and that's discounting the deterrant effect that it's very proveably had.
You see that gravestone icon? Buy shares in people who make these if we don't replace Trident.
And @Pete: Yes, we don't know what the Americans will evolve into. But they're less likely to turn into things we don't like than China or Russia with whom there are already tensions.
@Robert Long
No US involvement is required to fire Trident.
I agree that it's broadly useless though.
missile count
When this was in the news a while back they said that they were going to make 250 odd new nuclear missiles. We have 4 trident subs each of which has 4 nuclear missiles on board which by my maths = 16 missiles in total, if you have a spare one of each, that's 32, what are the other 220 odd for? Where will they be kept? What is the point in them generally?
I fully accept that I may be missing something here, but my maths is probably right :P
Death Ray
Nukes are old technology. The trident budget should go into developing a Tesla style death ray capable of disintergrating tanks and vapourising troops from distances of up to 200 miles.
Tesla could do it in 1908 with Victorian style tech we should be able to do it more better and as an added bonus, no radiation just lots of electricity traveling at the speed of light.
Sodom and Gomorrah
Christianity incompatible with nukes
Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah
Turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction
Sounds pretty nuke-like to me; granted it's Old Testament...
The French
There is one simple reason why the UK must its nuclear weapons: the French have got them.
Steady on!
Yes it all sounds fine, no nukes and all that, but while the world may no longer require a nuclear deterrent what happens when aliens attack or a huge asteroid suddenly appears?
You'd all feel pretty silly for junking the nukes then I think.
Opening up a NeuReal Assymetric Front
"As even the most passionately committed anti-nuclear general would acknowledge, the armed forces must remain obedient to the civil power."
Why, Lewis, whenever they are so corrupt and so easily corruptible. I would suggest the exact opposite as being a much more agreeable future prospect albeit with it mitigated by a Novel Transparency which would share the Burden and the Decisions Making in an Ambiguous House Propping up and Pimping Democracy rather than Championing Meritocracy..... although in the former is the latter to oft voted down with Ignorance triumphing over Beta Good Sense and Innovative New Proposals....... such as a Dept. of CyberIntelAIgent Research and dDevelopment for NEUKlearer HyperRadioProActive Defence Works ...... for Command and Control of Critical Computers and Compromising Communications in CyberSpace.
And that would attract Foreign Investment and not cost a Dime, which is probably also a concern to those with their snout in the pork trough, but that is their concern to have angst about.
"'Our' Trident missiles can not be fired without US-supplied codes which can be changed by the US without notice 24/7."
Do you have a source for this?
How about...
spending the money on social welfare or industries that do not inflict pain, destruction and suffering on other sentient beings?
The industrialists, military men, those who profit from the arms trade and their proxies in the media are in the business of inventing, create and talking up threats to justify their existence as a deterent.
Missing the point exactly that the best way to stop war is not to start it.
Our friends in America
The Nu Lab government clearly sees the UK as a lesser partner in a great Anglo Saxon political, economic and military superpower, and signing up to the new nukes is part of this political axis. The key factor is that there is currently a world-wide ban on developing new nuclear weapons, but just like the war in Iraq its much easier for the US to go against the international community's wishes if the British are on their side. Quid pro quo - the US gets our political support, we get a new nuclear deterent that would not be affordable if we tried to go our own way.
If we cancelled the Trident replacement, it would really, really annoy the Americans - in my book, this is reason enough to do it.
@"No US involvement is required"
Sorry, but everything I've read says it is, at some level or other.
Unless you can provide a definitive (ideally independent) reference that this really is an *independent* nuclear deterrent, I'm not convinced.
Re "£20Bn that cant be spent killing little children": er, what exactly do you think Trident is for, or would happen if the button was independently pressed? A lot of little children (and others) would die.
If we put a bit of the £20Bn to truly "thinking of the children", and put some of that through the UN, would that not be better? it might even get us a voice at the UN (if we thought we needed one).
Safeguard your political legacy!!!
No Prime Minister with any ability to think of the future will get rid of the UK's nuclear deterrent. It's simply a matter of stumping up £1billion-ish / year, or possibly going down in history as the Prime Minister who got rid of them only then to be faced with an unforeseen foreign nuclear ICBM threat. There'd be no recovering from that scale of cock-up. Remember Brown's £2billion splashout on fixing the political damage from scrapping the 10% tax band, just to try and win a labour safe seat in a by-election? £1billion / year is cheap when it comes to safeguarding a political legacy.
It's interesting to note what's happened between India and Pakistan. It was only after both countries demonstrated a nuclear capability (through underground tests) that they sat down and started patching up their relationship over Kashmir (it's not perfect but it's better than it was). The nuclear threat in that case seemed to have a sobering effect on both countries.
I like to think in the event of my death by a nuke being launched against the UK, that the government's reaction would not be to blow up the innocent civilians in another nation. The reason a nuclear deterrent is so useless is that the only people likely to fire on the UK are dictators, who are unlikely to get hit by any retaliation, instead the (realativly) innocent people of said country would. Thusly, no. I don't think we need a nuclear deterrent.
My two cense.
Waste of money if you ask me. Actually that's a lie, it's a good idea to have a deterrent. The problem I have with nukes and indeed the armed forces is simply this;
We are an aggressive state, we have been for centauries and for as long as our head is up the arse of the yanks we shall continue to be.
With the exception of the Falklands we've not fought a defensive battle since world war 2 and even then the Falklands was a political move by Thatcher in order to raise public opinion of the Conservatives, it was a war that shouldn't have been fought and could have been fought in the court room.
We're only the target of rogue states because we're complete assholes with utter disregard to said "rogue states" way of life.
Pull all our forces out, keep our traps shut, throw no weight behind Americas continuing reign of terror and hey presto our enemies will disperse.
Well said JonB
"Good, even if we have the response I wouldn't want them to use it, if the missiles are inbound then it's already failed."
You exactly summed up the issue with the linked article. The first scenario is the only one that makes any sense at all. We could easily base our missiles on land, and make it part of the deal that allows America to keep Nuclear weapons in the UK that we also are allowed to do the same in the US.
I believe we should have a Nuclear arsenal and accept that any such arsenal will be in some way reliant on the US for full functionality (hell our warning system will be their NMD system). I don't however think we need to maintain a fleet of submarines for this, when we could use a cheaper land system and spend the money saved on say some aircraft carriers that will be of use in the non-nuclear wars we actually intend to fight.
@Robert Long
It seems you have been impressively misinformed. The "launch codes" that we see in movies all the time are actually related to arming the warheads - all of which are British. The missiles themselves are American, but we retain operational control of them. We can launch them independently, but would be unlikely to do anything without American support and in reality the missiles will never get used. They are a deterrent and if they are ever actually needed we have already lost.
Why don't we...
Just use all the ICBMs and WMDs we found in Iraq?
Falklands, Kosovo, GWI, GWII, Afghan, Sierra Leone - what use was the Vanguard fleet for any of them? Add to that it has a Scottish base so if they get their independence and decide to close Rosyth what then?
Spend the money on more Astutes and Tomahawk missiles if it has to be spent on subs - a far more credible stick to threaten anyone with than an ICBM.
@ Adam Foxton
Very well said sir.
Actually, the US have several layers of veto on Trident, from the hardware, through the software and on upwards. For example, the system simply will not accept an independant attack plan (ie, one adopted by NATO, which means one adopted by the US) and even if such a plan could be forced into the system, the hardware can be locked by the Pentagon at any time. In practise, the system is probably always locked with a special clause to allow test firings, which it is capable of distinguishing. That's all I know about but since the source code for the software is not shared with the UK, there could be absolutely anything else in there too.
That's just the way it is, sorry.
America is not our ally and never was, WE are their ally, following them around like the school bully's sidekick hoping that being sycophantic will spare us their wrath. They would never and have never hesitated to shaft us when it suits them. To say that they are any different from Russia or China is foolhardy and ignorant. All three are superpowers pursuing their goals which are chiefly the control of energy supplies to their economies by a combination of manipulating international treaties, assassination-based regime change, and propaganda-based regime change. Democracy and all the rest of the crap spouted by their politicians is just vote fodder for the people back home.
@Adam Foxton
> And @Pete: Yes, we don't know what the Americans will evolve into. But they're less likely to turn into things we don't like than China or Russia with whom there are already tensions.
I'd suggest that in the future we'll spend a lot more time and money kissing up to the Russians (who could / do turn off a lot of our energy supply at will) and the Chinese (who could turn off all our manufactured goods, equally at will) than the Ameriicans, as the worst they could do is stop selling us crappy TV programmes. As it is, I doubt that we'd rank particularly highly in the considerations of any of these countries either with or without nukes.
@"No US involvement is required"
>Unless you can provide a definitive (ideally independent) reference that this really
>is an *independent* nuclear deterrent, I'm not convinced.
Right, such a source would have to have detailed technical access to Britain's entire nuclear weapons arsenal and sub fleet without being connected to either government or military.
Conspiracy theorists aside, we can only work with the information available.
@ Glyn
The discrepancy is that Trident is a MIRV missile - that is one mind-bendingly expensive missile can do the work of half a dozen older ones, by deploying multiple warheads which each steer their way to a city of *YOUR* choosing.
Honestly, what's not love?
Each Trident missile can carry up to eight warheads which means you could use one to blow up most of London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and Edinburgh and still have one left over for Milton Keynes (just because).
How cool is that???
What's wrong with a bomber force?
Sorta surprised that no one mentions the option of buying a few B2's; it can be used for the conventional stuff when there's no immediate threat, and graduate to standing air patrols when needed. Having some land based cruise missiles as a bad up would be fairly cheap too
An Armed Society is a Polite Society
Heh, the deterrent inherrent in most arguements for keeping Nukes should be applied to handguns too!
Muggings should stop overnight as would knife crime!
No-one is going to rob a post office, if they don't know who's "carrying heat" in the queue will they?
After all, the Granny second in the queue might be a little deaf, but she can see when that hoodie pushes in, she could pull her 9mm glock from her trolley and teach him a lesson in manners there and then!
But far from being an impolite society, I don't think America has benefited from the inception of the optimistically named Colt "Peacemaker" to these modern times.
And not having nuclear weapons would give the UK a disarming arguement. Just think about the Dalai Lama or the Pope or Mother Teresa or Ghandi. Do you think their messages of peace would have carried as much weight if you knew they preferred high capacity 9mm automatic pistols as opposed to old fashioned but powerful and reliable revolvers?
Your maths is right, but you're missing two very important things. Firstly, each sub has 16 missiles, not 4. Secondly, each missile can have up to 12 separate warheads. By my count that's a maximum of 768 nukes required. Of course, "up to" doesn't mean that every missile actually does have 12 nuclear warheads, so obviously that number will be rather lower, but 250 new warheads doesn't sound at all out of order.
how about...
...we keep the nukes, get rid of everything else, stop interfering in other parts of the world. Since everyone will have nukes in due course maybe this is inevitable.
The big woolly one please... to keep warm. Russia can sit on it's gas if it likes, so to speak.
"What missile would Christ use?"
Surely there is a religious war in the offing, with pro- and anti-nuke Christians calling down hell-fire from heaven on one another.
Mine's the one with the bloody cross on the back.
"But the aggressor nation still has missiles left, and it is clear that in the event of any retaliatory strike, Washington or Paris will share the fate of London. France declines to act. In America the debate is longer and harder fought, but in the end the result is the same."
Lewis, what planet were you on when you wrote that? Can you really envisage the American public letting its government leave alone a country that has demonstrated a willingness to use nuclear weapons against the West instead of unleashing over-whelming devastation to neutralise the threat and deter anyone else from trying something similar?
Seriously, JB, what planet did you grow up on? The US has absolutely no intention of allowing us to nuke who we want when we want. For that matter, why would they?
Just for a laugh, why do YOU think they hide the source code to the Trident system we pay them billions for? It's not to stop leaks - US personnel are as (un)likely to leak as Brits.
Problems with money? Dig Hole, Hit Poles And Have It All Just For $999,000,000,000,000!
Oh, talk about nukes? Does anyone really know why nukes are called a suicide weapon?
"call from those who front each other but they the one shall be heard in waters seven whales shall pour their fountains at head and feet of goddess she will find pleasure relief will release the shield will cry her tears away meeting kiss of one was her beloved enemy will open herself for new life"
New Life? New Pharaons, maybe?
- just words, nothing special for them to moder them...

when baking, follow directions.. when cooking, go by your own taste.. ~ Laiko Bahrs
we took a short hiatus from the big city and drove back to Alor Star, Kedah to visit my father in law..a 3-4 days much-needed break filled with relaxation, catching up with dad, and also food hunting..we were thankful that the weather wasn't too hot this time around, compared to the blazing heat we had to endure the last time we came back..
being a neighbor to gastronomical haven Penang and eclipsed by the over-commercialization of its food, it's no wonder that not many people take much notice of the delicious delicacies that can be found in Alor Star and other neighboring towns in Kedah..Kedah is the 'rice bowl'/negeri jelapang padi of Malaysia, accounting for one-third of the country's total production of rice..the land consists of relatively flat terrains, therefore it's suitable to grow rice, the staple food/makanan ruji of the country..however, it also means the weather is constantly sunshiny and warm, all year round..
Alor Star, the capital of Kedah is a very peaceful and quaint little town, living up to its honorific 'Darul Aman' (Abode of Peace), with upcoming bursts of architectural progress and modernization..one can see a few flyovers being built on main roads, new modern buildings standing in stark contrast amidst the old ones, and the number of vehicles on the roads are growing fast by the day as well..
despite the country's speedy urbanization progress and economic inflation, food sold at the numerous stalls and restaurants here are still reasonably priced, though some shops have hiked their prices to equal those in big cities..however, many old-school businesses have closed down due to the bad economy and the invasion of rivaling modern business operators, which is a common phenomenon nowadays especially in small towns..very few remain in the heritage style buildings of old, each awaiting the same fate as the rest..in my opinion, the state government should do something to preserve or resuscitate old school businesses and heritage commercial complexes before everything die a natural death to make way for modernity..each time the husband and i go back to alor star, my father in law tells us of businesses dying down one by one, especially those in the food and beverage industry..some couldn't withstand the high costs incurred due to inflation, while some couldn't find predecessors to continue their legacy on..i sigh and wonder each time, wondering what will become of the heritage that is slowly dying in the town that i've grown fond of..one can see new, big shopping complexes housing hypermarkets and other modern facilities slowly sprouting and forcing its way into the lives of the peaceful locals who were once used to the way things were done old school style before modernization seeped in..
well, anyway..
a definite must-have in Alor Star, Kedah is a plate of authentic old school nasi kandar..here, nasi kandar is also known as nasi lemak among the locals..in KL, overly-commercialized nasi kandar is sold in big, brightly lit restaurants, some alongside other cuisines as well..the restaurants are normally open for whole day dining, some 24 hours..which is a stark difference to the old-school style nasi kandar shops in Alor Star and its neighboring towns in Kedah and also Penang, where nasi kandar is sold in small shops, some operating only during the morning, but most are open from late afternoon to late night..only a few are open for 24 hours, like Restoran Yasmeen..
another major difference between nasi kandar sold in KL and Alor Star is the rice, dishes and gravy..in KL, nasi kandar comes as a serving of white rice with numerous choices of accompanying dishes..one will be spoilt for choice to choose from the many countless side dishes being offered..in Alor Star, the rice is cooked with coconut milk, almost like coconut rice, hence the local name for it, nasi lemak..one can choose from a few dishes such as beef, whole squid, prawns, or chicken cooked in curries/gravies and also fried fish and chicken..the rice is then served with 3 types of gravies or kuah campur poured all over it..the gravies each combined give a sweet and spicy taste to it..
in the town of Alor Star, there are a few household names in the nasi kandar/nasi lemak business..Royale, Zam Zam and Ali, each with its own speciality..you can find branches of Royale and Zam Zam in a few places in Alor Star, sometimes a few blocks away from each other..these small eating shops are usually full during dinner time, with long queues of customers lining up to choose their dishes for either dining in or takeaway..
upon reaching Alor Star during supper time, we drove over to a Nasi Lemak Royale shop that was still open and tapao-ed 2 packets of nasi kandar with beef, fried fish and blanched okra..that marked the first food craving we satisfied in Alor Star..
*BURP* *grins*
Nasi Lemak Royal yang popular di sekitar Alor Setar, Kedah mempunyai cawangan di Ampang. Sesiapa orang Alor Setar yang mengidam boleh lah ke sana untuk melepas geram. Hehe :)

Hearing loss affects personality among elderly
Hearing loss among old people leaves a deep impact in their personality as well, research finds.
The researchers studied 400 people in the age group of 80-98 over a period of six years.
They were assessed in terms of physical and mental measures as well as personality aspects such as extraversion, which reflects the inclination to be outgoing and emotional stability in every two years.
The results show that even if the emotional stability remained constant over the period, the participants became less outgoing.
Thus far, the researchers were not able to connect the observed changes to physical and cognitive impairments or to age-related difficulties finding social activities.
The only factor that could be linked to reduced extraversion was hearing loss.
"This is the first time a link between hearing and personality changes has been established in longitudinal studies. Hearing loss directly affects the quality of social situations," explained Anne Ingeborg Berg from department of psychology at University of Gothenburg.
The study throws interesting lights on personality development among the elderly and also points out the importance of acknowledging and treating hearing loss among the elderly.
"Even if we can't conclude anything about causal relationships, we can guess that the link between hearing loss and social withdrawal forms a potential threat to older people's wellbeing," the researchers said.

Way Too Big 8.5
"The color: Cobalt was beautiful. They would really make a pair of jeans pop. I had to return my usual size: 8.5 - it was almost a size and a half too big!I can also understand the issue with the inside stitches- must wear socks with these. I'm still trying to find a size that fits. Design is beautiful- with a soft sole. I have to have a soft sole these days.With a super padded shoe liner plus socks- these would be fabulous."

Cute Moccasins
"I've had my eye on these for awhile, and I'm glad I finally bought them. They are very comfortable, even on the first day of wearing them. They are also really cute. I wear them with my leggings, and they are exactly what I wanted. I do think they run a little on the narrow side, but maybe that is just how my foot fits them."

We offer you simply the best live chat cams on the net and not only the ones with the best cam quality but also most cams compared to any other cam chat site on the internet. Our amateur live chat cams feature not only solo models posing, spreading their legs, masturbating, fucking their shaved pussy with a big fat dildo, playing with their big juicy boobs or doing other nasty things but also real amateur lesbian and straight couples who fuck for you and have oral sex right in front of the cam while you are the only guy on the world watching them doing so.
Now, how does this sound?! I'm sure you usually watch hardcore porno videos or hardcore sex pictures but be assured, watching at a mesmerizing cam hottie either in front of a solo cam or together with a sex partner is much hotter than watching vids or nude pics.

Besides those high quality live chat cams we also have a lot of sex pics and hardcore videos showing our cam hosts. Those videos and pictures can be found on the individual profile pages of our sexy cam hosts and sex couples. On the profile pages are also info's about the cam babes and couples, for example when you can see them in front of the cam each day. You can also find out what kind of sex positions they like and what they dislike... But most of the babes and couples we have are really nasty and don't dislike a lot. Come inside now to watch them posing and fucking while you keep telling what to do exactly! Now you probably think the access to our livesex site is very expensive. Or you think it is free but there are hidden costs or you think it's legit but as soon you start chatting with one of the models we want cash. But let me tell you, we are free to access, you can chat with our cam models without paying a cent and you can also check out their nude pics and sex vids without paying anything! There is no catch, no hidden costs, no shady tactics, only pure pleasure! All we need from you in order for you to become a member is a valid email address where we can sent the password to.

Too much Atlanta -Property Virgins
HGTV does too many shows in Atlanta period, but PV has become unbearable with an entire season dedicated to Atlanta (with the random NY/NJ episode thrown in). Most of the homes on Atlanta are generic new builds or small, poorly cared for bungalows, furthermore Atlanta is not the most interesting market for property virgins, especially since the cost of housing is so low..i don't feel like this show is providing real estate buying education by focusing on a market that doesn't reflect so many other parts of America. If Egypt can't leave Atlanta to shoot, maybe you all should do multiple hosts, I know budgets are always a concern, but even if you shoot a block of shows in 3-4 citites, that would allow for some variation.
PV used to be one of my favorites, but I can no longer stand to watch it. Also, please bring back more midday and evening design shows, there are only so many tract homes we want to see couples purchase, but there is a huge market that needs some inspiration (in different prices points and design styles) on how to decorate and/or remodel their homes.
(BTW, it seems like a good 90% of African Americans you have on HGTV are only on PV & HH Atlanta...we buy houses in other markets you know)This message has been edited. Last edited by: Day2204,

|21st Feb 2014✧09:044 notes
Thank you all for the messages of congrats! I didn't post them so I don't clog up your feeds, but I just want you to all know I'm so overwhelmed by how sweet you are and I'm excited about sharing Andy and I'd journey with all of you.
When my fiancé tells me I'm cute on days that I haven't had any time to care about my appearance because college.
This is only the beginning of our journey and I could not be more excited.
Sometimes people hurt you just for the sake of hurting you. And sometimes they do it to wreak havoc on your life and your relationships. Don't let them. And remember who you are, your purpose in life, that you're loved by the One in control, and move on from there. Life is too precious and far too short to let petty people and their behaviors affect your heart, your relationships, and your emotions. Keep strong, keep yours eyes ahead, and don't look back.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life;of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1, ESV
I think I might actually be ready for grown up life.
I am so thankful to have found someone who can love me so completely, so beautifully, and so wholly. I never thought this would happen to me. I thought it was just something that happened to those exceptionally beautiful women who seem to have everything in their lives go perfectly. My life is far from perfect, and he isn't perfect either. But as we tell each other all the time, neither of us is perfect but we are perfect for each other.
This moments when you realize just how blessed you are. I have been having those over and over lately.
I graduate in three months, I'm in love with the most incredible man in the world (and he loves me back!), and I have the best friends and family of all time. I'm so overwhelmed with joy I can hardly contain myself. I'm soaking it all in because I know life will not always be this good. So I'm loving it and trying to love these people in my life as much as I possibly can.
Happy Sunday, everyone.
I just want to graduate.

M'Cheyne: Dn 9 (txt | aud, 5:36 min)
Ps 117-118 (txt | aud, 3:00 min)
Highlighted: Dan. 9.4-5
Disconnect: When Martin Luther pounded the 95 Theses into the door of All Saints Church in Wittenberg, Germany he began with the simple but profound statement that, "the entire life of believers [is] to be one of repentance." Luther's actions began the Protestant Reformation, abandoning the then-current practice of indulgences for a lifestyle of repentance. Repentance requires a sometimes painful examination of our lives and submission to a standard outside of ourselves. Because of this, just a few hundred years later, and downstream from the movement which Luther's words and sacrificial actions began, the idea of repentance ranges anywhere from foreign to offensive for many.
Immovable: The prayer that consumes most of Daniel 9 is, "aflame with the purifier of sincere repentance," says F.M. Wood. Daniel cries out, "O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules." The contrast between a broken people and a God who is immovable in faithfulness could not be stronger. Because God's faithfulness cannot be shaken or diminished he is able to both establish a standard for life and offer forgiveness without compromise, albeit at great cost to himself.
Repentance: Daniel's prayer seeks repentance for national abandonment of the Covenant—it cut to the deepest part of the prophetic heart in his day. For modern Christians, our wounds run no less shallow and may feel intensely more personal. In many ways, repentance is the process of revealing our deepest hurts and asking God to restore us where nothing else can. The full process of repentance in Christ is re-humanizing, brimming with grace, and overflowing with love. It leaves us stunned by the grace that renews us. We walk away with a new name – one that speaks not of our pain, but of our journey and interaction with a God who is, as Nehemiah says, "ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love – a God who does not forsake us." [2]
Prayer: Lord, thank you for being slow to anger and abounding in love. Like Adam hiding in the garden we find hurt and shame driving us from the one who can heal us. Restore us, O Lord, let us see the joy of your salvation. Give us life and heal us through the power of your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Next to the agriculture business, nothing influenced the development and evolution of Sunnyvale quite like the tech industry.
From orchards to offices, the city is now home to some of the biggest names in the industry. Apple, Nokia, Broadcom, AMD, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Juniper Networks, Intuitive Surgical, Bloom Energy, Motorola Mobility and Google have come to call Sunnyvale home.
Before the city became a Mecca for technology, several things had to happen. Even in its early days, the city was home to industry innovators.
Albert W. Bessey founded the Jubilee Incubator Company, according to Sunnyvale Heritage Park museum director Laura Babcock. The company patented a redesigned poultry incubator that replaced internal kerosene lamps with externally supplied hot water. The new design allowed for even heating and greatly reduced the risk of fire.
The museum has an incubator on display today.
Sunnyvale started branching out beyond agriculture--as far out as outer space--with the development of Moffett Field in the 1930s. The large air base was first managed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which would later become the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
According to historian Mary Jo Ignoffo, construction projects at Moffett Field provided many jobs for local workers in the early 1930s, but it wasn't enough to compensate for the steady stream of Dust Bowl migrants searching for work.
Farmers sought extra work at canneries and Hendy Iron Works, which contributed to the war effort in the 1940s.
But it wasn't until Lockheed arrived in the 1950s that the technology boom in Sunnyvale really began to take shape. Hundreds of engineers, a caravan of 350 people, made the move in 1956, according to Ignoffo.
"Once Lockheed came, technology just boomed in Sunnyvale," Babcock said. "Lots of kids had engineers for parents, so they were really on the cutting edge of technology."
These kids included Sunnyvale native Steve Wozniak.
"We have a direct inheritance from the very birth of Silicon Valley and the electronics age," said longtime Silicon Valley historian Michael S. Malone. "When I was kid, you could stand right on the corner of Bernardo and Fremont [avenues] and you could see Steve Wozniak come home from Cherry Chase swim club, or Ted Hoff or his boss Robert Noyce racing down the street. The creators of the integrated circuit, the microprocessor and the personal computer--perhaps the three most important inventions of the 20th century.
"As much as any place on earth, Sunnyvale is the birthplace of the digital revolution."
Military and defense operations became a huge driver for the local economy. In the 1970s, the semiconductor industry developed in symbiosis with the military-industrial field, including Electro Magnetic Systems Laboratories and Fairchild Semiconductor.
Between 1959 and 1979, former Fairchild employees founded more than 50 separate companies, sparking the computer industry.
Computer engineer Gene Amdahl left IBM in 1970 to develop his own line of faster and cheaper mainframe computers, and in 1976 Wozniak built a home computer from a used microprocessor he bought for $20, according to Ignoffo.
Throughout the 1980s and '90s, technological advancements were cultivated right here in Sunnyvale, including anything from virus detection systems to online gaming. Today, Sunnyvale boasts the latest in cutting edge tech, from robotic surgery to smart phones to social networks.
Such technological growth actually landed the city the No. 1 spot in a list of innovative cities compiled by The Daily Beast in 2011. The rankings were based on the number of patent applications per 100,000 residents.
For more information on technology in Sunnyvale, visit the Technology Timeline Exhibit at the Heritage Park Museum, 570 E. Remington Drive.

I wasn't sure whether to put this here or in "Networks". Apologies if I'm wrong!
I'm trying to get my head around "Bypass traverse checking" in XP Local Security Settings and "Traverse Folder / Execute File" in Special Permissions and how they interact. Here's the test setup:
2 PCs connected via a switch. One has a shared folder and contained text file. There's no firewall and I can happily browse the contents of the shared folder as well as open the text file across the network. Both PCs have the same User Account and Password and I log into the client using that account.
I've tried several combinations of the configurations ("Bypass traverse checking" and "Traverse Folder / Execute File") to prevent my listing the folder contents but still be able to access the file using it's UNC path (\\RemotePC\Share\test.txt) but nothing seems to work. Either I have no access to the text file (despite knowing it's exact path) or I can see all the contents of the shared folder. I've tried rebooting both PCs after I've changed any configurations but that didn't make any difference.
Can someone give me some tips? I'm pulling my hair out!

It leaves a nice visible line of holes for feedback, and you can practice keeping your line straight, staying the correct distance from the edge of the fabric, and making corners neatly without wasting fabric or thread.?

I am health conscious, and physically active, I like to dance. I feel most comfortable in quiet earthy settings..with intimate conversation. My life is about healing divided minds and nurturing the collective heart, one by one... we are one..with laughter, fun, and creative love; music, sharing, and artistic flow...fully living, moving freely... and all kinds of letting go. I am a progressive thinker, always ready to challenge limiting beliefs -including my own. I have been blessed to know love in my life and all the lessons learned from it..and so now... I'm willing to bare my soul for beautiful.

Iran & Zimbabwe had less of a decline than Thailand? LOL Time for new methodologies in measurement. (though i suppose a ten-year measurement tends to dilute recent events of the past 6 months...)
The report can be found here: http://info.worldbank.org/governance/wgi/index.asp
The methodology focus on a number of indicators (e.g., "voice", "government effectiveness", "rule of law", etc.), and there is an interactive application to perform comparisons based on each.
"Better" governed is highly subjective. A lot depends on what is considered to be the baseline. A tiny increment of increased freedom in one country could represent a major change while a similar increment in another country could be considered a step backwards.
Since 9/11 quite a few countries have surrendered some "minor" freedoms to their government but this has not necessarily made their country a "better" governed one, just one with "more".
The United States is one of these.
No doubt that Eritrea, Belarus and Thailand have all had pretty bad decades when it comes to governance. However, Zimbabwe's "government" has taken it from the "Breadbasket of Africa" darling a decade ago to today's hyper-inflationary economic and humanitarian disaster zone that is both a global pariah and a major exporter of starving political and economic refugees to the region. Surely the Thais and the Belorussians deserve some more credit than this?!
The economist wrote:
"While the precision of the data may be debatable, the direction of movement looks plausible."
That's like saying, "I can't back up neither the sources i used, nor the conclusion I've arrived to."
As with any index, only the tendancy is to be taken seriously (as stated in the text). Economist could provide further information, as to weighted criteria used and some general idea of how they were measured.
One major absentee strikes me: how would 7 years of Patriot-Act style governance fair up to 7 years of equivalent military invasion of another country? Or to communist countries?
As a citizen attempting to be informed, I find the daily graphs interesting. However, as an economics major, I find them unendingly frustrating. While they display trends well, they often are not very clearly labeled. This one is no different. What is the quantifiable or practical difference between a country at 0, and one at +1, or -1, for that matter?
Like I said, I enjoy the graph, but I wish they were more clearly labeled, or the system behind the graph clearly explained.
I'm sorry ginmartini, were you refering to the dead from Saddam's gassing of the Kurds, victims of his internal police, casualties from the Iran-Iraq war which he started, the victims of his invasion and rape of Kuwait, or the final war to rid the world of one of the great menaces in history. Please be specific.
Very interesting, but it would be much more informative if we knew the range of the scale; an improvement of 1.0 would mean a lot more if the maximal theoretical possible improvement—ie, from the very worst to the very best—were 2 than if it were 10 or 50.
Please note that this chart covers the period until Dec. 2008. The new U.S. administration took over in Jan. 2009. If the U.S. were to be included on the chart, most likely it would appear on the negative side of the chart.
Nice chart. I think it would be great to see the aggregate value for the world as well to indicate the direction in which we are headed.
Biased much? So the US can cause the second great depression and still not decline on this index. Give me a break.
Something resembling a democracy from a totalitarian regime.
Seems like progress to me.
People might not like the reasons why the US invaded, but anybody who said they would rather live under Saddam must be a bathist party member, because the Shiites, Kurds, and lower level Sunnis are much better off under the current government.
That Iraq is one of the "most improved" reminds me of The Onion article "Dead Iraqi would have Loved Democracy".
I guess they didn't poll the dead people about how they felt about their government. It's an interesting twist on survivorship bias.

BLAIRSVILLE, Pa. – They say you can get almost anything at Wal-Mart. But the Pennsylvania Game Commission says one deer hunter took it too far.
Forty-year-old Arcangelo Bianco Jr. is charged with reckless endangerment and hunting law violations, accused of shooting across a highway to kill a 10-point buck he spotted in a Wal-Mart parking lot in November.
Defense attorney Jason Huska declined to comment Wednesday on the specific allegations but said his client denies wrongdoing. Bianco faces a preliminary hearing May 1 on charges reported by the Indiana Gazette (http://bit.ly/YEmOVY).
Wildlife Conservation Officer Jack Lucas said Bianco fired several shots in the parking lot, then retrieved the deer from the side of the highway opposite the store, about 30 miles east of Pittsburgh.
Lucas said the buck is one of the nicest taken in Indiana County in recent years.

Truth for Life - June 9, 2011
June 9
Look at the Positives
Some Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything, and to dwell more upon what they have gone through than upon what God has done for them. Ask for their impression of the Christian life, and they will describe their continual conflicts, their deep afflictions, their sad adversities, and the sinfulness of their hearts, but with scarcely any reference to the mercy and help that God has provided them.
But a Christian whose soul is in a healthy state will come forward joyously and say, "I will not speak about myself, but to the honor of my God. He has brought me up out of a horrible pit and out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings; and He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. The Lord has done great things for me--I am glad."
This summary of experience is the very best that any child of God can present. It is true that we endure trials, but it is just as true that we are delivered out of them. It is true that we have our corruptions, and sadly we acknowledge this, but it is just as true that we have an all-sufficient Savior who overcomes these corruptions and delivers us from their dominion. In looking back, it would be wrong to deny that we have been in the Slough of Despond and have crept along the Valley of Humiliation, but it would be equally wicked to forget that we have been through them safely and profitably; we have not remained in them, thanks to our Almighty Helper and Leader, who has "brought us out to a place of abundance."
The deeper our troubles, the louder our thanks to God, who has led us through them all and preserved us until today. Our griefs cannot spoil the melody of our praise; we consider them to be the "bass line" of our life's song, "The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad."

USA Cycling will award its annual "Athlete of the Year" designations on Nov. 5 at the 2011 U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame Induction ceremony in Davis, Calif.
Developmental mountain biker Stephen Ettinger (Cashmere, Wash./BMC Mountain Bike Development Team) will receive the men's award while the women's designation will go to the foursome of Sarah Hammer (Temecula, Calif./OUCH Pro Cycling), Dotsie Bausch (Irvine, Calif.), Jennie Reed (Seattle, Wash./OUCH Pro Cycling), and Lauren Tamayo(Asheville, N.C./Peanut Butter & Co. TWENTY 12) for their success in the team pursuit.
"Being recognized as 'Athletes of the Year' for the Women's Team Pursuit is such an honor," said Reed. "We've all been working hard and continuing to get faster and faster, so it's always nice to be recognized for our hard work and achievements. These women motivate and push me every day to reach a higher level."
Ettinger got his start as a 10-year-old in Washington State's local race scene. By age 16, he was competing for national titles, and by age 18 was competing at world championship events. He finished third is his inaugural pro race and has posted 23 top-10 finishes (including eight victories) in the more than 40 races he has entered since 2009. As a member of USA Cycling's National Development Program, Stephen has consistently shown that he is able to compete among the world's best. This summer, at the USA Cycling Mountain Bike Cross-Country National Championships, he repeated as champion in his event by more than three minutes.
In the last two years, American women have experienced unprecedented team pursuit success. On May 12, 2010, Sarah Hammer, Dotsie Bausch, and Lauren Tamayo set the world record for the team pursuit—3:19.569—becoming the first team ever to break the 3:20 barrier. This achievement set the stage for the UCI Track World Championships, where the USA women had never won a medal. At the 2011 Worlds in the Netherlands, the determined trio of Hammer, Bausch, and Jennie Reed reached the gold medal round against Great Britain and eventually earned the silver medal; another landmark for American cycling.
In addition to the USA Cycling "Athlete of the Year" awards, four legends of American cycling will be inducted into the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame on Saturday.
The four honorees represent a range of cycling disciplines, including Olympians, World and National Champions, and industry pioneers from the 1920s to the present. The inductees are: Marty Nothstein (Modern Road & Track Competitor),Ruthie Matthes (Off-Road Competitor), Bobby Walthour, Jr. (Veteran Road & Track Competitor), and Mike Sinyard (Contributor to the Sport).

The rooms were well appointed and comfortable; no air conditioning, and it was in the 80's, however that was unusual for the area.
The staff was young and pretty dismissive, disorganized and'snotty' when presented with a request.Parkinglot was being resurfaced; the front desk did not collect guest car information at the point of checkin, which caused them to have to randomly call around to ask if you were driving a 'xxxx' car, because it needed to be moved to accommodate the resurfacing. There was no working height surface to use a laptop, either in the rooms or in the lobby. The wifi was very unreliable in strength, depending on your room location.

Good location 4 miles from Friday Harbor. Clean rooms, nicely decorated. Good breakfast Pet friendly.
There are a series of very high steps leading to the front entrance which makes this hotel not accessible for handicapped or elderly guests. It also makes it difficult to carry or roll luggage up and down these steep steps which become slippery when wet.Pleasant hotel. Be sure to ask for the larger rooms as the room with the queen-sized bed is quite small and narrow for two people. Internet access was intermittent at best -- just a few hours over a three-day period which meant we had to drive into a coffee house in town to get our e-mails.

NONE at all!The best I could have given as a birthday gift to my bf is an overnight stay to this boat! He was totally surprised and it is his dream to sleep in a private boat like this. Laura, the main owner gave us hands on awesome hospitality and a great breakfast that she did herself! Since we came at a low season, she upgraded our room and we had the boat to ourselves! We definitely loved the location, the view and the boat deck where we hang out and drink champagne with stars and crisp cool air. You might end up paying a bit more than hotels but this an unforgettable experience thats truly one of a kind!

What God thinks is all that matters.
These books are about God, UFOs and YOU in other words about God'. If you are not truly searching for yourself as ONE with God, or if your mind is not open to an Omnipotent God who does not depend on your beliefs for her existence, then you likely will not finish reading these books. So why begin? Sure, okay - shock will suffice for a start. Yes, these books should shock you. If you stay curious you will end up in AWE of God, and likely in eternal Heaven at some point beyond this exceedingly short material life.
The world-renown religious leader, Reverend Billy Graham agrees that most people, who find God through Jesus Christ, do so at a relatively young age, and as a person grows older it becomes increasingly difficult to change his or her world views. They become enamored of the world as it is and themselves as they are. Change is difficult; however, Dr. Graham also knows that all things are possible with God. Therefore we ask you to keep an open mind and not to give up. Your eternity must be godly in order for you to continue existing as you albeit a changed' you.
On reading these books, a few people might
conclude they are fiction and perhaps relegate them to fantasy. Many opinions are expressed herein by the
main character - portrayed as a human in dog form. Now, really; does that sound like fiction or
fantasy? Of course not - or at least it
should not - after you read the books.
These works are based on truth, with perhaps just perhaps,' mind you…
a tad bit of fictional coloration. Keep
in mind that God is fully capable of any scenario portrayed in these books and
to the extent it would be factual, not fictional. You should see for yourself, God is
involved in these books.

There is no proper response to this film. It is an enormous fact, a 550-minute howl of pain and anger in the face of genocide. It is one of the noblest films ever made... It is an act of witness.Shoah is a Documentary by Claude Lanzmann about the extermination of the Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe. It is widely considered the definitive nonfiction film on the topic.Between 1976 and 1981, Claude Lanzmann interviewed many protagonists of the Holocaust, both survivors, bystanders and former perpetrators. His film, clocking in at nine hours, is a collection of these interviews, interspersed with shots of the ruins of the extermination camps. There is, however, no archival footage whatsoever, and the horror is made all the greater by the audience having to rely on oral testimonies to imagine it, rather than actually being shown.Several of the interviewees were "cogs in the machine", people who were just doing their jobs—it didn't matter much to them that their jobs involved making industrial-scale murder possible. As such, this film is a harrowing illustration of Hannah Arendt's line about "the banality of evil".
