Tory trash talk fails to halt bin bugging plans
The UK government has green-lighted microchip wheelie bin pilot schemes despite one council calling for the technology to be scrapped because it "failed to work" under test conditions. In 2002 Tory-controlled South Norfolk Council was the first in England to use the microchipped bins, which have been designed to allow specially …
Another example of guilty until proven innocent
How can the council prove that the rubbish in my bin is mine as the lid is not locked so anyone can open the bin. Then the next big issue is that I live in a row with 5 other houses and all our bins go out for collection in the same little area. The bin I take in Thursday this week may not be the bin I take in Thursday next week.
"I for one welcome...
...our wheelie-bugging cyber-bin overlords..."
Well, someone had to say it...
Jobsy, 'cause he's been selling chips attached to garbage for decades...
(and AC so the Mac-istas can't find me :P )
So what if it doesn't work, the NeoLabory party have no interest in it working just how many chums pockets they can fill.
ID cards won't work sides filling pockets, NHS It plans don't work, sides filling folks pockets, the list of unworkable or illegal things the NeoLabory party have done is longer then an unraveled roll of andrex, but hey who cares? The world is gonna sink, terrorists are eating babies, and men who live in basements are prowling about just waiting for a chance to commit a sex crime.
Odd combination
"Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)"
That's as bad as the US ATF, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
Mine's the one with the pint of whiskey, pack of smokes (fags for you Brits), and shoulder holster sewed into the lining.
Must remember to not put the bin out
I'm lucky I can keep my bin at the back of the house -- out of the way of the possibility of fly tipping.
Will they get suspicious if the bin doesn't get emptied?
Is it cheaper to drive my rubbish to the local dump instead?
Will young whippersnappers go round leaving bins open when it's pouring with rain?
A new meaning to Moonlighting?
Cue the emergance of the new moonlighter - Filling up the neighbours bin
with your rubbish.
Only to find that the neighbours have swapped their BinChip with yours !
Only a govment that is so expert in IT could think of this.
Use your neighbours bin!
Does using your neighbour's bin count as fly tipping? can i put a lock on my bin to stop my neighbour putting 3 hundred weight of rubble in it?
It would be nice to have better recycling (i have three bins at the moment, normal waste, garden waste and paper). I dont use the paper one much as i do everything online, the garden waste one gets used a couple of times a year, so i have 3 bins and use only one. now if i had a glass and plastic one, that would be used every week!
At least it should even out the unfair council tax though. I pay the same as my neighbour with 10 kids, so they will kop it wth any waste charges.
Chip and bin?
I'll get me coat.
And they measure the amount recycled by?
The council round here are too inept at recycling. The only things they take are my non recyclable rubbish and my garden waste (thank goodness they've got around to doing that - I generate quite a load of grass trimmings and have much privet hedge, generating piles of trimmings several times a year).
Kitchen waste now please - If other councils can manage high temperature composting (enabling all kitchen waste, including cooked meat and bones) to be recycled I don't see why they all can't.
All the recyclables go to the local tip because the council won't collect half of it, and only supply tiny little red boxes, not nearly enough space for a fortnightly collection.
The trip to the tip is combined with a shopping trip, adding perhaps 300 yards and 3 minutes to the journey.
The newly refurbished tip is a joy to use, and there is always someone there to help if you have any awkward items.
So my recycling rate according to the council - 0%
My real rate - Don't know. Just done some back of envelope calculations and I reckon its 50% ish
Next we will have to pay to use the lav, but if they try to chip me or my bog, I'll see them all here.
Phew, it's hot, no coat needed.
ffs... anyone can see the massive problems this will cause...
1) i have to put my bins out at 7:45 am, before i go to work. the bins then sit there an hour or so before the bin men come. any bastard can stick whatever they like in my bin and i know nothing about it!
2) i recycle a lot so my black bin hardly ever goes out. will they be able to get an average of my yearly tippage? how will they take into account such things?
3) whats to stop someone just throwing litter into my bin whilst unattended? it could even be none-malicious but i can get fined for it!
4) whats to stop the always useless binmen from dumping their shit into our bins?
5) what if its pissing down with rain, my house is about 10 mins walk from a school, i can see the kids flipping back all the bin lids to let them fill with water so we all get screwed...
6) its hard to be annoyed with people who do not recycle after finding my council (Lincoln) wasnt recycling lots and was, in fact, dumping it. WE then get fined by the GOV through council tax hikes due to this council's shite behaviour!
this is just a farce! what next? scanning our sewage to see if we have been smoking 'killer' skunk or 'binge drinking' (when i was younger we had binge drinking - it was the fucking weekend!)
so, the question is.... do all politics degress come with a lobotomy?
ahhh fuck the black choppers!
Huh ?
I thought Gordan promised not to roll this out ?
Personally if they roll out microchipped bins in my area I will in the spirit of being pissed off remove the chips and jump up and down on them.
We already suffer in my area with kids opening the bin lids and then they fill with water.
Also your bins end up with other peoples rubbish in them.
If they do this a V style march on London will be called for.
Pubs next
What an amazing country - everything is so wonderful that the gov can turn its attention to something like this. I think I'll have to move there (rotfl). A safe bet is that there will soon be an ever-increasing charge by weight for removal.
I guess you can also look forward to chipped toilets and urinals? Mandatory in pubs and able to read the chips in your ID cards so beer drinkers can be taxed twice (coming and going).
@Odd combination
It's actually BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) aka Lords of All the Fun Stuff.
Kill the Chip
As it's probably just a standard RFID chip then just kill it with a microwave or some other suitable device depending on where the chip is.
Get a cheapo RFID scanner just to ensure it is dead and then just throw whatever you like.
If the council complain, tell them that you don't know what happened - blame it on an electrical storm if you like and that you'd love them to replace the bin (at *their* expense).
Then go round and randomly blast a few other bins near you, wait for the council to replace these bins.
With the cost of wheelie-bins, I can't see this making any money at all!
I wonder
what would happen if you collected all the chips from all the bins on one road, and put them into one bin just in time for the collection...
Paris? 'Cos she's as clueless as our Government seem to be....
I don't bother with bins. I have a large tank of helium, a box of balloons and some string. When I have some waste I tie it to a balloon and release it out my window.
Another law...
Obviously nobody has noticed the other law that our beloved dictators have sneaked in allowing councils to insist that all such bins are locked shut. Failure to comply will bring the usual prison sentence, fines, etc while the real criminals (rapists, murderers, politicians, etc) get off scott free because they're too much trouble to prosecute and not profitable enough.
The alternative plan, of course, is to find the addresses of your local councillors and just dump your rubbish in their gardens - taking care to remove all addressed items first, of course.
What we need
Is a body with veto powers, whose job it is to go round and inspect our various organs of government and then advise them, 'just fucking stop it, OK?'
@ Kill the Chip
All they'll do is make it your responsibility to ensure your bin and its sensor are secure. If it breaks, they'll just charge you an arbitrarily high figure until you get a new one.
Oi! Councils, NO!
If this starts up in my area I'm going to turn uban gorrila on them.
How about dumping as much rubbish as I can in the gardens of high ranking members of the council? Not my own rubbish mind, no point in making is easy for them to trace me ;)
AC because they could be watching me right now...
Gordon promised not to roll it out...
But when does that man ever keep his promises?
Why no alternative before punishing people?
Why doesn't the government offer an alternative to over use of packaging BEFORE stressing people out with these fruitless fascist efforts?
Simple solution
These chips are easy to interrogate and clone, the hardware is cheap and the software readily available. What you do is;
1) Pull / drill out the chip module in your bin
2) Use a hand held reader to read the bin RFID of the nearest MP who voted for 42 days detention
3) program said ID into the new, read-write chip in your bin (a couple of quid on eBay)
4) post the ID # on the Internet so lots of other people can also bill their rubbish to those who really should pay
Has this lot got one brani cell between them all?
Re the problems of dumping in other bins as listed above, of course it's not *their* fault when neighbours get into screaming arguments about who dumped what in whose bin. Nothing to do with them making it inevitable that this will happen.
My local lot only partly empty the recycling bin each week - they leave a whole lot at the bottom. Presumably I will get charged twice for this as it's weighed again the next week.
Am I now going to be charged for throwing away all the advertising junk that gets dumped through my letterbox. INCLUDING THE "NEWLETTER" THAT THE COUNCIL THEMSELVES SHOVES THROUGH THE DOOR (which is simply a bragsheet for them to boast how wonderful they are and actually reveal yet again their incompetence).
Oh well, I'll just save the junk up and dump it in the forest every so often. I think I'll buy a red VW microbus and fill it with shovels and rakes and implements of destruction.
just burn it
Bedfordshire council have some plot of land that is going to be used for incinerators, 10% used, so space for another 9 incinerator units.....
Guess they will be importing rubbish from london as per usual ?
Next door neighbours are poles, they have lots of rubbish, if it ends up in my bin, it will get dumped on the road
Bin Scales
I think I'd invest in a suitable set of scales so I could weight the bin when I put it out, then dispute any difference if the council claimed it weighed more. And that's after I'd invested in something to zap RFID chips. I can see a market for such a device, with the RFID technology becomine ever more prevalent.
A big chuckle
In the village I moved to in France some time ago we had a a small problem - - just over half the village were given wheelie bins and were told they would only have a collection TWICE a week the remainder of us in the old part still get our THREE times a week collection because we have common bins and they can only get a small pick-up up the roads to empty them. We also have large glass, paper and plastic collection points dotted round the village.
In fact the Mayor was voted out of office because of it in the last elections.
Watching Stalin, sorry, Gordo's speach on TV it appears that those left in England will have to beware the english goulag that will be set up to house all those that want freedom.
Is your electricity meter spying on you as well?
Shouldn't power be charged at a flat rate however much you use? How is garbage different, then?
There is a simpler way of doing this. Don't have bins, have council pattern garbage bags on sale at supermarkets for $5 or whatever, including collection. That's how it works here in Wellington, NZ. Or, you can go to an alternative garbage collector who provides a bin.
Sorry! Had to say it. The tossers, sorry council, where I live have designated my particular street one which cannot have wheely bins, for reasons as yet unclear. They waffled on about bin lorries unable to get down the lane at the rear which they have previously been doing for 28 years. (Suddenly got a piss artist driver no doubt!!!) Still, its an ill wind! Black bags it is then! And we all know where to dump those 'cos how many office blocks/factories and other places of torture(sorry work, must have a complex tonight!) have no rubbish bay. Love the chip zapping suggestions though, 'cos ANYTHING that screws the council or government gets my vote! Powerful magnets and high voltages shot through wire coiled around chip seems promising, as does a powerful dose of RF for the radio geeks smongst us.On the subject of green bags the tossers who run the council have admitted they send it all to China for processing.And to think I know folks who wash the stuff prior to green bagging it! Who in their cotton pickin mind is going to worry about the state of any of the stuff which goes in THAT scow! If they can afford to ship garbage to PRC,they can knock a few bucks offf my garbage bill! Either way, I'll beat these bastards! Oh yes, this should be loads of fun! ENJOY! Gary
re: Use your neighbours bin!
My neighbours are already practicing for this. Where I live 6 flats share a common bin area with a bin each. We use about a third of our bin capacity over a week. Two of the neighbouring flats seem to have a serious fetish for heavily packaged consumer goods and use all bins for their crap. All 6 bins are usually overflowing with 3 days to go before collection. My East London council couldn't give a rats arse about this or the attendant health issues, and will doubtless similarly not care when they charge me for my neighbours 'fly tipped' crap.
Paris, 'cos anywhere on earth is better than Newham
We simply pay according to the size and number of bins. In the neighbouring council it's by how often it's picked up. Never heard of abuse by neighbours. I guess Brits are just too unruly to be trusted to play by the rules.
Trash Billing
If the council are charging for the rubbish I throw away (although I stupidly thought that was what Council Tax was for?) can I expect an itemised bill at the end of each month like my credit card?
In line with 'Green Credentials' will my council rather than sending a paper copy out then create an eTrash statement administered wholly online, and allowing you to charge heathens who still recieve the paper version?
And will the administration of this in some data centre cost more in resources and council tax than just collecting the bloody stuff in the first place?
I seem to be getting more and more confused as to what the point of all this is.........
I don't see the problem
Someone who uses energy-saving light bulbs and switches off appliances at the wall when not in use pays less for their electricity than someone who leaves filament light bulbs and electric heaters blazing away in unoccupied rooms.
Someone who has a high-efficiency combination boiler and TRVs on all radiators pays less for their gas than someone who leaves pans uncovered and has an inefficient, permanent-pilot boiler with a poorly-insulated, gravity-fed hot water cylinder.
Someone who drives a small, efficient car when absolutely essential and sticks to Shanks's Pony when it isn't pays less for their petrol than someone who runs a four-wheel-drive with automatic transmission and insists to drive anywhere further than the end of the street.
Someone who has a dual-flush toilet, takes only showers, makes sure they have a full load before running their washing machine or dishwasher and uses a rainwater harvesting system for watering their garden pays less for their water than someone who has a leaky swimming pool, takes two deep baths a day and wastes a full bowl of hot water to wash up just one cup.
So why the fuck should I pay the same amount to have a two-thirds-full wheelie-bin removed about once every six weeks, as somebody who puts out an overflowing wheelie bin every single week?
Re: Kill the chip / Simple solution
Guys, forget the drills and microwaves - you just need a screw driver.
The chip is a disc a little bigger than a 5p coin thats held in place under the rim of the wheelie bin with a plastic plug. Just pry out the plug with a screwdriver and switch the RFID chip with the chip from your MP's bin. It only takes a few seconds.
Or do what I did and throw the chip in the bin - it seemed poetic justice.
My area has the perfect defence for this kind of thing, it's called bin burning chavs. See we don't have wheelie bins becouse whenever they tried to set them up they got set fire too.
What about me?
I live in a block of flats with comunal bins. How will they work out who owes what for us, because im not paying for someone elses rubbish.
Neighbour fly tipping
So we need a chip in each bin, a lock on each bin to stop neighbours using them, and the binmen can have a seperate truck to carry the keys for all the bins in.
Or the government could apply pressure to the companies who package everything 3 times and observe the effect of reduced packaging = reduced consumer waste.
A mass wheelie bin protest would be quite comical though if we all wheeled our bins to the council offices with pitch forks.
@ all the "why should I pay as much" crowd
All those who think it is unfair that they should pay as much for their 20% full bin as for someone with a family of 4 and a full bin every time please raise their hands.
OK, quite a few of you.
Now, put your hand down if you think that in a pay to throw system you will in actual fact pay the same or even more than you do now.
Ah, not many hands left. Now put your hand down if you are a drooling retard.
So, no raised hands anymore.
Last one, raise your hand if you think that by everyone paying more to have their rubbish collected your local council will either improve services or reduce council tax or charges.
Still no hands then.
What a load of moaning bitches
The idea's good. STFU and help make it work. Why should I have to pay the same to throw my stuff as someone who has twice as much? It will make people think twice about how much packaging they buy with their shopping and increase pressure on supermarkets to stop selling vegetables in trays etc. Those complaining about dishonest neighbours protest too much I think. Maybe if you got on better with your neighbours you wouldn't have a problem?
They're targetting the wrong end.
To my shame, I work in one of these local red tape manufacturing plants that we call councils. Our recycling figures (across our county) are at 40% and they want to get it up. The trick is this ... people can only recycle what they buy which IS recyclable.
If the government want to target someone, then get on the backs of the manufacturers to sort their packaging out, not penalise residents for not being able to recycle more.
Green & Blacks chocolates is a case in point - I had a go at them in Dec 2006 for their package waste. I was surprised a year later when they sent me another box of chocks - packaging completely redesigned - only the chocolates themselves were wrapped in virgin paper and the box was made from recycled paper; the plastic tray had gone completely and even the plastic see through window was reduced to half of its previous thickness. The whole box took half the space of its predecessor and that had savings in storage and transit costs to boot.
Congratulations Greene & Blacks for a stunning performance ... and get on yer bike government; and don't run any red lights while you're at it.
Hidden Chip
Apparantly they did a trial round here with some bins - I've checked mine with an RFID scanner so know mine doesn't have one, I'll have to pop and see some friends out who live a few miles away.
Gotta be fun to play switch-the-chip. Just doing it once a month on a handful of bins will mean that the councils data is totally incorrect.
Probably the next step will be a nice LCD on the back of the bin lorry to tell them which house the chipped bin should belong to so it ensures that the right chip ends up back at the right house after a week.
All those people who painted their house number on their wheelie bin might be a bit confused why the binmen keep giving their bin to someone else though!
We already pay to throw ...
that's what council tax is for. Damn thieves.
Fly tipping anybody?
The best statement we've had from the government about this is that it will reduce the incidence of fly tipping? What!? How? The only thing it will do is increase fly tipping. Your local authority will then, in effect have to pay for the clean up twice. First they will have to pay for the clean up then they will have to pay fines for missing their targets on fly tipping.
They will fund this by increasing the charges that honest people will pay for filling their bins, which will increase fly tipping further, and so we enter a positive feedback loop.
But the government will not accept any responsibility for all this because they have stated that councils have free will in all this. The sad thing is that the government seriously believe that they won't get the blame just because they've told us it isn't their fault.
Next step:
There will be a scale at the entrance to each bus, tube and train entrance, which will then check how much you weigh and then charge you weight and distance to your destination. It only makes sense when they are trying to charge you for every little thing.
Works in Dublin
Apparently. You get rebates if you do it properly. I wonder if any Irish readers would care to comment??
Tax creep...
Our income taxes used to pay for regular collections.
Then poll/council tax was introduced to fund for the service (telegraph.co.uk: "At present the £125 of the average council tax bill goes to cover the cost of rubbish collection and disposal"), but the income tax didn't reduce.
Council taxes inexorably increased.
Now we have to pay again - again, for the same service, yet our council tax still goes up.
On top of that the collection rate substantially reduced (bi monthly, about to be made monthly), so the cost of the service is substantially reduced.
Then you have the 'two finger' rule where a binman will refuse to take the bin if they cannot move it using two fingers, even though they have 8 available per man.
Then there is the closed lid rule where failure to abide can get you a criminal record.
Then we have the 7:30am rule where putting out rubbish earlier than that on the day of collection will see you fined (I know people that leave for work at 6:00am, WTF should they do?)
God help you if you accidentally put the wrong sort of rubbish into the wrong bin, even if the council mixes it all up anyway.
Furthermore, it has been stated that a bin with a damaged chip will not be emptied.
As someone touched on above, a law will be / has been snuck in such that the bins have to be padlocked.
To those who voted these f***ers in: do you still believe you won? Don't you instead feel like we are the laughing stock of the world?
Did you know that throwing paper/cardboard in a landfill acts as a carbon sink? (and a renewable one at that) - that is, if you believe we can really can 'stop/curb/tackle climate change'!
so that's it then
It's pitchforks and torches at 7 at the council.
Of all the things to get pissy about
Seriously guys. Get a grip.

With the 32nd pick of the 2014 MLB draft, the Atlanta Braves select TC Roberson High School outfielder Braxton Davidson.
The now 18-year-old (his birthday was June 18…was 17 when drafted) is listed as a 6'3″ 205 pound outfielder or first base and was considered one of the top power-hitting prospects in the draft.
Davidson had signed with North Carolina when still in school but he said after being drafted by the Braves he wanted to begin his professional career immediately.
So that is what he did…Braxton signed with the Atlanta Braves a few days later and the same day he took batting practice with the Braves at Turner Field.
Braxton reported to Disney at the Spring Training facilities in Florida on June 21st to begin practicing and looks to get on the field shortly for the Braves.
@Braves@B_Davidson06 first day on the job. #CHOPNation#BravesCountrypic.twitter.com/2mZmJaJfT5
— Jeff Morris (@Morris81107) June 21, 2014
He was drafted, signed, reported, now it's time to play!
But prior to all that and the success in high school, Braxton wore the hat of the Atlanta Braves when he was still a little boy. Could this had been an omen of things to come? One could only imagine.

6L6GC-STR RCA-Style black-plate TAD PREMIUM Selected
The Classic 6L6 Sound - Excellent Tone and Maximum Lifetime!
TAD has the remakes of the all time favorite 6L6 classics by RCA and GE. The TAD 6L6GC-STR is your perfect choice if you are up for the sound of the rock legends. It provides the low end with the right amount of pressure, as known from the famous RCA tubes. It has clear, transparent but unobstrusive highs and exactly the right bite to provide you with all those classic 6L6 sounds from big warm cleans to modern hard rock sounds.
This TAD 6L6GC-STR combines the famous reliability of the american made Philips/Sylvania STR series (also known as MESA 6L6GC-STR415) with the black-plate system of the highly regarded vintage RCA 6L6GC tubes. We joined best of both worlds! Silky top end, combined with deep bass response and lots of headroom make this tube a living classic. Our choice for lively clean sounds and powerful broadband multichannel amps.
Exclusive black-plate designs, gold gird wire, double getter construction, no-noise filaments and the 1.2mm thick heavy duty glass envelope.
Darryl Harrison (5/5)
Grzegorz Sawa-Boryslawski (5/5)
Gary Roufosse (5/5)
I custom designed and built a Class A amplifier system for Hi-Fi. I spent hundreds of hours on the project and used very high quality parts. It sounded terrific, and sounds better as all the parts \"run-in\". The amplifier has 45W RMS/channel, and uses a quad on each side. I had tried many different types of tubes and some were better than others. As you know, a Class A amplifier can be truly revealing so the tubes have to be good and the right quality.
I looked at the design of the TAD 6L6GC and decided to give them a try. I was impressed with the look and the fact they were designed in Germany - the home of great engineering. When I received them, I was very happy with the build quality and appearance. However, the real surprise was running them in my amplifier! These are fabulous tubes! They do something for the music unlike any other tube I have tried. And I have even tried the famous RCA black plates, and yes, these do sound better. In fact, I bias them at 68mA and I use PEARL tube coolers, so far, they have been extremely stable and I have about 300 hours on them with no bias drift. Fantastic!
I am now building the second amplifier - a clone of the first as I can bi-amplify my speakers - and will no doubt be using the TAD 6L6GC in that amplifier as well. I recommend them to anyone who wants a great tube in their home tube audio system!
Thank you
john gibbsy (5/5)
I play blues and rock and i have got a best
vintage sound , warmer , and more sustain with TAD tubes.
In addition they are cheaper than mesa tubes.
Many thanks to Stephan Meyer who help me to make the right selection for my DR.
Quick delivery.
I hope that TAD company will continue to ship
such quality products.

I am still making progress which is great! I have lost another 3.5 inches since last week and have so much more energy. We have had some great training sessions already this week. You know you had a great session when your abdominal muscles are sore for two days post workout.
We have decided to change up the nutritional plan I'll still be consuming the same number of meals, but we needed to change up the calorie intake. I am a lot more active now than when I first started. My body needs more fuel to be able to function.
I am enjoying my new supplements from Met-Rx as well as Xbox Kinect time with my kiddos. =)
Enjoy your week & your workouts.

Chicken Broccoli Parmesan in the Slow Cooker
My husband did not like chicken or sour cream much at all when I met him, but he has since become a fan of them both, especially when they are together in dishes like this saucy chicken and vegetable combination.
I especially like how easy this is to put together – it has simple ingredients that don't take much preparation except to add to the crock pot. I could easily throw it together before rushing out the door to work or to an appointment, and then later I can come home to a delicious dinner.
Chicken Stuffed Peppers Kissed by Cheddar
When summer gardens start producing peppers and tomatoes, it's time to cook some chicken stuffed peppers. The flavors are always popular… and who can resist the eye-candy appeal of those rich, contrasting colors and textures in the dish?
This version is "lightened up" with chicken so it will be a little healthier…my original version is made with beef.
There are so many wonderful ways to cook chicken stuffed peppers while peppers are in season. I like to use cubed chicken breasts in my chicken stuffed peppers because everyone in my house absolutely loves them! Here in N.E. Ohio, this year's crop of green bell peppers were so succulent that my husband (Al the Grinch) even commented about how good and tender they were.
Barbecue Shredded Chicken in the Slow Cooker
I really like to come home to the aroma and taste of Gluten-Free, Barbecue Shredded Chicken!
This tangy, filling dinner is just what I need after a long day at work, shopping at the mall or an afternoon of gardening in my backyard.
While "30 minute meals" are really helpful, a meal like this, that only requires me to spend about 10 minutes putting ingredients in the slow cooker is even better. Slow cooker meals are, to my mind, the ultimate in "set and forget" cooking activities!
I just load the ingredients into my crockpot and …
Gluten-Free Chicken Paprikash
I have liked the flavors of Chicken Paprikash since I first moved to Illinois in my early twenties. After the stress of being transplanted from Texas to Illinois, and worse yet, leaving behind the wonderful Mexican food that was everywhere to be found in Texas, the first restaurant in Illinois where we ate had a delightful dish of Chicken Paprikash on their menu.
The unfamiliar name intrigued me, and I quickly discovered the flavor was wonderful!
It wasn't gluten-free then – I didn't know that was a problem for me anyway — but with so many options for gluten-free pasta available now, I can easily make this for dinner anytime.
This version of Gluten-Free Chicken Paprikash may not be exactly like the original dish I enjoyed years ago, but it is flavorful and easy to make. And my husband even likes it!
Chicken Breasts Sautéed with Spinach and Parmesan
I like an easy chicken dinner that cooks the vegetables right in the skillet with the chicken.
Since the chicken in this recipe is boneless it cooks very quickly, and the flavors of chicken, aromatic garlic and onion, carrots and spinach mingle in the pan to make a flavorful sauce that even my husband likes.

Our offices should encourage casual, cafe-style interactions, but allow people to disappear into personalized, private spaces when they want to be alone. Our schools should teach children to work with others, but also to work on their own for sustained periods of time. And we must recognize that introverts like Steve Wozniak need extra quiet and privacy to do their best work.
Before Mr. Wozniak started Apple, he designed calculators at Hewlett-Packard, a job he loved partly because HP made it easy to chat with his colleagues. Every day at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., management wheeled in doughnuts and coffee, and people could socialize and swap ideas. What distinguished these interactions was how low-key they were. For Mr. Wozniak, collaboration meant the ability to share a doughnut and a brainwave with his laid-back, poorly dressed colleagues — who minded not a whit when he disappeared into his cubicle to get the real work done.

Clean and Clear's Advantage line of acne products promotes confidence, freedom, and people can see the "real" you. In the three commercials for Clean and Clear Advantage formula young girls explain how they have to "hide themselves when they break out", "how they are unable to have "real" conversations with people when they have acne", and main culprit "people can see the real me when I have clean skin".
Since when has acne defined who you really are as a person? Yes, I understand that acne sucks. I've suffered from chronic acne for years and I can completely understand that acne isn't any fun. I also understand that Clean and Clear is an anti-acne brand, and they must advertise. But is it right to belittle people who are already in pain from their acne even more by telling them that they can't be their real selves just because of hormonal blemishes on their faces?
Johnson and Johnson are promoting that because you have acne, you can't be you. Acne is hormonal and everyone goes through it. Just because you have acne doesn't mean you can't be yourself. People will still like you despite what you look like. You can still have friends and be happy. Above all, you can be confident even with acne.
Advertisements like this are degrading and make people feel ashamed of something that they cannot control. You can always be the "real" you. And nothing, especially acne, should ever deny you of a basic human right.
For shame Johnson and Johnson.

Address and location
The main university campus is set high on the Penglais Hill, from where there are spectacular views of Aberystwyth and Cardigan Bay. Apart from being the home of thousands of students this is also the location of the National Library of Wales, recently proclaimed as the finest facility of its kind.Aberystwyth University Old College King Street Aberystwyth Ceredigion SY23 2AX T: +44 (0) 1970 622270
Background and history
The University College Wales first opened its doors in 1872. Some years later the college became a founder member of the University of Wales. One of the significant moments in Aberystwyth's history came during the 1960s, with the relocation to the Penglais campus. Since then the institution has continued to expand, in some part thanks to financial assistance from the Welsh Assembly Government.
Location and accessibility
By rail: Although Aberystwyth is tucked away in Eastern Wales, it does have good train links with the areas as far away as the Midlands. Students travelling from south England or Scotland should prepare for a very long trip.
By road: The Welsh road network is surprisingly good and it shouldn't take too long to reach Aberystwyth once you're on the A44 or A487. Aberystwyth university has made a commitment to offering outstanding services to students with mobility issues. Special arrangements can be made regarding note taking and exam scheduling, if so required. The friendly library staff are very happy to help with the use of specialist computing software and learning material access.
What's on offer
BA, BSc, Foundation Degree, MscEcon, FdSc, MA, MPhil, PhD, Mphys, MBA, Law
Entry requirements

"At Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, there is a mass animal exodus underway. Miles of buffalo can be seen running frantically from the Northwest end of the park. They are even running down roads. Elk are also evacuating at an astounding rate. Smaller animals such as rabbits and squirrels are also fleeing Yellowstone. According to one expert, Thomas Lupshu, the only possible explanation is that the seismic activity in Yellowstone which has been increasing over the past month could mean that an eruption is on the way. "
I'm pretty scared right now
As someone who wants to study the human consciousness I found this very interesting.
Scott Routley was a "vegetable". A car accident seriously injured both sides of his brain, and for 12 years, he was completely unresponsive.
Unable to speak or track people with his eyes, it seemed that Routley was unaware of his surroundings, and doctors assumed he was lost in limbo. They were wrong.
In 2012, Professor Adrian Owen decided to run tests on comatose patients like Scott Routley. Curious if some "vegetables" were actually conscious, Owen put Routley in an fMRI and told him to imagine walking through his home. Suddenly, the brain scan showed activity. Routley not only heard Owen, he was responding.
Next, the two worked out a code. Owen asked a series of "yes or no" questions, and if the answer was "yes," Routley thought about walking around his house. If the answer was "no," Routley thought about playing tennis.
These different actions showed activity different parts of the brain. Owen started off with easy questions like, "Is the sky blue?" However, they changed medical science when Owen asked, "Are you in pain?" and Routley answered, "No." It was the first time a comatose patient with serious brain damage had let doctors know about his condition.
While Scott Routley is still trapped in his body, he finally has a way to reach out to the people around him. This finding has huge implications.

This is such an important thing to say, though.
A lot of people are acknowledging this as a very powerful sound bite, but take a minute to really consider the context of this.
Every time you misgender a trans person, you are putting their lives in danger.
You aren't just hurting our feelings - and there is nothing "just" about hurt feelings for people prone to suicide - you risk outing us to people we may not want to be outed to.
It opens us up to harassment, discrimination, and even assault. We could lose our jobs, our families, and our livelihood.
Every time you intentionally misgender a trans person, you tell us that you consider us to be less than animals.

We are playing the waiting game too and I know that's hard enough without all the extra crap. I am hopeful for you!!

It is officially underway! Its going to drive me positively nuts.
I really need this since my former employer is being difficult about my final pay
I work remotely so getting the computer shipped is a big deal.
The company performing the background check still has it showing on their web portal as 'in progress' which has me a bit nervous. But it does look like that always awesome SI MOJO is working!
This is all very good b/c the company that fired me is jerking me around about my final expenses which total up to about month's worth of my household bills. That has definitely added to my tension level!
Thanks everyone...my work computer and phone arrived today. I think its all good. I have orientation Monday.
I'll be sending out all this good Mojo to the rest of my fellow job hunters!
Hope you get the money from your last job ASAP!
This may be one of the blessings in disguise moments. I really liked the people I interviewed with a lot. There will be opportunities for me to move into a less travel intensive position and still work from home in 1- 2 years.
The job loss also provoked me to start exploring some other career and educational options that I will continue to pursue now that I've got the momentum going. I've meant to do them for a while but I've been busy and preoccupied.
This is also huge because the old job is really making my life difficult. They are holding my last expense report payments because they are 'auditing' them. This totals about 2 -3 months worth of my living expenses. I've already paid off half of my credit bill also so really the total unavailable is closer to 4 months. This was really going to start to be a problem if I didn't get employed soon.
Above all, be the heroine, not the victim. - Nora Ephron
It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
- J. K. Rowling
I hope your mojo rubs off on me, i have an interview on Wed.

White T Diet Cola is a decent beverage, but the product has a noticeable aftertaste. The aftertaste is likely the result of the Splenda and tea flavors. This being said, this product was somewhat difficult to drink. To compare it to a somewhat similar product, we'd much prefer this product if it had a stronger cola flavor like Diet Cricket Cola does. Overall, it is our opinion that this product is purely mediocre and could have clearly used a bit more time when creating the formula -- it just doesn't feel like a mature product.

Watch HuffPost Science's Cara Santa Maria speak with the man and the legend, himself. Talk nerdy to me!
"Don't know much about science" may be a good description of many students in U.S. public schools, at least if you're swayed by a new report issued by The Fordham Institute.
The report, The State of State Science Standards 2012, indicates that K-12 science standards of most U.S. states are mediocre at best - with only 13 states getting an A or B and 38 receiving a grade of C or lower.
Which states fared the worst? You may be surprised. Click here to to see a slideshow of the 27 states that received a D or F, including one state that got a perfect score…of zero.

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I have sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness.
Last night, I knew what to say
But you weren't there to hear it
These lines, so well rehearsed
Tongue tied and over-loaded
You'll never notice
t started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
You can take up all my time 'cause you're the only one
That can make a storm cloud break
Pulling out the sun
And I can't get caught in the rain
Can I get your lips to speak my name?
He doesn't look sr thing like Jesus, but he talks like a gentleman, like you imagined, when you were young.
Simple Plan - Welcome to my life lyrics:
We The Kings: Say You Like Me (Official Lyric Vid…:
Cause baby you weren't the first or the last or the worst
And I've got to fill the blanks in the past with a verse
And we could sit around and cry but frankly you're not worth it anymore
Why can't I feel anything for anyone other than you.
Your lipstick his collar, don't bother Angel,I know exactly what goes on.

Weve taken delivery of our brand new server in preparation to replace our old Admin SIMS Server.
I know there are issues with SIMS not (officially) supporting Windows 2008 R2 etc, but it does seems such a shame not to install Windows 2008 R2 with SQL 2008 R2 as we have the licenses to install them!
Anyone else running SIMS on a similar setup? Any issues etc?
I suppose the alternative is to build the server with Windows 2008 R2 and use Hyper-V for a virtual instance of SIMS server running Server 2008 64Bit? But Ive not done Hyper-V virtual servers before, and then there are the issues of backups etc. Although we have Backup Exec 12 that does not support 2008 R2, the SIMS data is backed up remotely using Attix and that is compatible, so we can continue to use that until we can upgrade the backup solution etc.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

So you have a son who you know has been gay since he was three, but he hides that from you and pretends to be straight. Do you force him out of the closet? No, you let him have the fucking fantasy that he is passable as a straight man. And when he finally comes out you don't pretend that it's a shock, you know what you do? You tell him it's not going to be easy for you since you're an honest mother fucker. But you also let him have the bit of drama he needs since, let's face it, he lives off of drama, so you ask him if he's sure about it. Oh, and let's not forget that you tell him you love him no matter what and hug him, even though you aren't the hugging type.
Now your flawless bitch of a son is depressed and thankfully it's not about a guy, it's about the fact that his choir director won't give him a chance to audition for a solo he can sing. What do you do? You threaten that son of a bitch director and that good for nothing school with a flame thrower and get your son the chance to audition. Then when he throws it since he doesn't want to hurt you, you admire him more than anyone else and invite him to spend time and bond with you. Like a mother fucking boss.
But now your flawless bitch of a son set you up with another woman who you love dearly and he's upset that you're bonding so well with this woman's son—who's, not secretly, a lot manlier and a lot more what you expected your son to be when you first held him in your arms. Do you yell at him for being slightly bratty about it because this boy never had a father and you give all your love to Kurt? No. You give him space. Then your flawless bitch of a son starts dressing more like you and talking about Melloncamp and even starts making out with a cheerleader in your basement. Do you pull him aside and tell him that he should stop being ridiculous since he's gay? No, you tell him that you're okay with whatever sexuality he is and to be safe, but you leave him be since you know he won't do anything with this girl. Then when you see your son upset and singing his heart out to an empty auditorium, you comfort him but refuse to let him play the victim since you have done nothing wrong, either, your son it just hurting. Then you hug it out like the flawless bitches you are.
Now you have your girlfriend and her son move in with you and your son and agree to let the boy live with your son, because you that's the only other room and it's homophobic to say they can't? But then the boy starts yelling homophobic slurs so the claws come out. NOBODY MESSES WITH YOUR BABY BOY. Yeah, maybe if you were calmer you would've found out what was going on with the whole situation first, but who the fuck cares? Your son's emotional state and heart are more important in the long run. So you kick that motherfucker out of your house, solidifying that you love Kurt above everything else. Fuck yeah.
Now your son decides to be a bitch again, this time about not wanting to go to a family dinner after missing several beforehand. Do you let it slide? No, you tell him that you're disappointed since these meals have been sacred since his mom was alive, so he needs to sort out his priorities. Then you have a heart attack but does that stop you from being awesome? No, you're still the best motherfucker in the whole motherfucking world.
And when you find out about your son liking the boy, you store it until it's a good time to talk to him about it. And you don't let him get away with it. But you still love him and comfort him, but just inform him that he needs to wait for someone as brave and flawless of a bitch as he is.
Then you finally propose to that woman who is as flawless of a bitch as you and your son gets you a free fucking band. Most people would just walk down the aisle while a teenage show choir sang a sappy romantic song, but not you. What do you do? You fucking dance down that fucking aisle like it's a fucking runway and embrace the white dancing you do.
Then your son, who got a death threat from a bully, is in danger, so you and your flawless bitch of a wife sacrifice your honeymoon savings to transfer him to a safe school. Oh, and you go after that motherfucker. Yeah, not the smartest move since he's a minor but no one messes with your beautiful baby boy. Plus
Then you find another guy in your boy's bed. Your gay son's bed. No, that's not gonna slide. You wouldn't let your stepson have a girl in his, so yeah, this won't fucking slide. You confront him. And yeah, maybe he didn't do anything with the boy but he's still gay and it's inappropriate. And you try so fucking hard to be this flawless bitch for your son and it's hard to follow Brokeback Mountain because it involves tents and well
But then this boy must have some balls since he comes to your shop—where you have some sharp tools and hammers—and he tells you to give your son a sex talk. And y'know what, it kind of makes sense how that hobbit puts it, funny enough. So yeah it's scary as fuck, but you get those pamphlets and read them—God you will never look at the name of your car shop the same way ever again—and make your flawless baby boy read them since he needs to be aware of these things, whether he wants to or not. It's tough, it's awkward, and you didn't want to do it, but you did it because you do whatever the fuck you want, because your name is Burt Mother Fucking Hummel. And bitches better recognize.
Burt is our hero
