If Google is in the dock about child sex abuse, then so are judges
There can be no one solution to the problem society has with sexual violence
It is important to put the Stuart Hall case into its full context.
Earlier this week, the elderly TV celebrity was jailed for 15 months for sexually assaulting young girls during the 1970 and 1980s. It comes after Jimmy Savile. It comes before trials of other celebrities for alleged sexual misconduct. And it should be read with two recent murder cases.
Mark Bridger, who was sentenced to life for the murder of five-year-old April Jones in Machynlleth, Powys, had been searching the internet for child abuse and rape images. And police who examined the Croydon home of Stuart Hazell, jailed for life for murdering 12-year-old Tia Sharp, said they had found "extensive" material featuring young girls.
There is something else, too, which has been well documented by the NSPCC and which I found astonishing when I first read it. Many cases of child sex abuse are committed by under-18s. Yes, under 18 years old. In March, the NSPCC published the results of public information requests to all police forces. Some 34 of them responded. Between them, the 34 police forces reported that a total of 5,028 offences had been recorded in the three years between 2009/10 and 2011/12 where the perpetrator was under 18, with some as young as five or six.
The alleged crimes included rape and other serious sexual assaults. Nearly all – 98 per cent – of the 4,562 offenders were boys. And where the relationship was recorded, at least three out of five of the victims knew the abuser. More than one-third of the offences appear to have been committed by a family friend or acquaintance, and one in five by family members.
The NSPCC says that, in some cases, older children are attacking younger ones and, in other cases, it's sexual violence within a teenage relationship. The charity adds that "we know that technology and easy access to sexual material is warping young people's views of what is 'normal' or acceptable behaviour… We are treating an increasing number of children who have carried out online grooming, harassment in chat rooms and 'sexting'… Children who are sexually abusive have often been victims of abuse, harm and trauma themselves. Exposure to this can make them think abusing someone or being sexually violent is OK".
Society thus has a big problem with sexual violence and with the pornification of children. There can be no one solution. Every part of society has to do what it can – as the NSPCC does and as internet firms are being asked to do. Yesterday, companies such as Google, Microsoft and Twitter agreed to give the Internet Watch Foundation more powers and resources to search out abusive images. The Culture Secretary, Maria Miller, said the public expected that everything possible be done to remove "absolutely abhorrent" material – including images of child abuse – from the web. "What has been agreed today," she said, "is a fundamental change in the way the industry will approach child abuse images and removing them from public view."
This duty to do what you can applies also to parents, who may have to get used to the idea that their children need to be taught what porn is. And it applies to the processes of the law. Jail sentences, for instance, should fit the crime but should also, from time to time, send a signal to society about the seriousness of certain criminal activities. The lenient punishment of 15 months in prison given to Stuart Hall, the former BBC sports presenter, for 13 cases of sexually abusing young girls, fell short of both requirements. The judge, Anthony Russell QC, said he was bound by the guidelines in place at the time of the offences.
Wrongly, some people will see Hall's incarceration as purely symbolic. He is no longer a danger to society. The reputation he spent 50 years building is now in ruins. Doubtless, too, friends and neighbours had started to shun him. He must have been frightened to leave his house. Moreover, Hall is 83 years old and would be highly likely to die in prison if he had been given a much longer sentence.
This compassionate approach, however, would ignore three features of Hall's series of crimes that make them all the more horrific. The first is the sheer number of individual cases, 13 altogether. Each victim can see – by dividing the number of crimes into the total length of the sentence – that her particular ordeal, which wasn't limited to the assault itself but also included living for many years with the knowledge of what happened, has been assessed as worthy of just more than a month behind bars, indeed only a fortnight if remission for good behaviour is taken into account. That meagre punishment humiliates the victims. It says that society doesn't think that what they went through amounted to very much.
A second obnoxious feature was the very young age of some of the victims. Hall fondled a nine-year-old girl as he read her a bedtime story in her parents' home. He also gave a 10-year-old champagne before assaulting her. And the third unpleasant aspect of the case was that Hall, before finally admitting his crimes, publicly declared that the girls who had complained to the police, by now mature women in their fifties and sixties, were liars. They had been taking part in a vendetta against people in the public eye. That attack on their character was his final blow and probably not much less painful than what had happened 30 to 40 years earlier.
In view of these considerations, the Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, has been asked to refer the lenient sentencing to the Court of Appeal. He should do so. The public would not understand a refusal. And, given that 13 cases are involved, the Appeal Judges should consider a lengthy sentence. Hall's age cannot be a consideration. Multiply Judge Anthony Russell's 15-month sentence by the number of cases, and you come to slightly more than 16 years. That sounds too severe, but the right term must fall between five and 10 years.

Sowing the seeds of a healthy diet, or how I came to love germination
Mark Cullen: As we wade into spring, there is a general awakening that occurs in us. The seeds we sow each spring go through a similar process: Mother Nature has programmed them to produce a root right about now.

"One of the most delightful things about a garden is the anticipation it provides."
— W.E. Johns, The Passing Show
On my property stands an authentic pioneer cabin from the 1840s. My late father, Len, salvaged it from the wrecking ball on the Pickering Airport lands about 30 years ago. Inside of this fine virgin pine structure is a collection of gardening paraphernalia that I have collected over the years.
Among the artifacts is a box of swede (a type of turnip) garden seeds that date back to 1947. I tested some of them recently and, lo and behold, they are still viable: they germinated in spite of being dormant in a dusty box for over 60 years.
The seeds that you buy on the racks at your local retailer this time of year are, thankfully, a lot fresher than my swedes. In fact, the producers of retail seed packets are required by law to sell seed that was harvested last year for sale this season. That is why the back of a seed packet is generally stamped with the date.
As we wade into spring, there is a general awakening that occurs in us. Something stirs that makes us want to get outside to throw a Frisbee or take the dog for an extra-long walk. Like a bear waking from hibernation, we go outside and breathe deep the fresh air of spring. There is something primal about it. The seeds we sow each spring in our garden go through a similar process: Mother Nature has programmed them to produce a root right about now. Or, over the next few months.
For this reason, I draw to your attention the great pleasure and immense satisfaction that can be derived from seed-starting this time of year.
The timing for sowing seeds varies widely, depending on the type of plants that you wish to grow. Some seeds should have been started by now (like petunias, impatiens and geraniums), but in most cases you still have time to get started.
What you will need:
To determine the best time to get seeds started, consider the number of days it will take to grow a transplant to planting size and count the days back from the planting date. For instance, if May 24 is the planting date and you want to start tomatoes (which will grow to planting size in four to six weeks), the seed starting window is during the first two weeks of April.
Or, follow the chart, which assumes May 24 is the planting date (easier, right? Just post this on your fridge).
Starting a garden from seed is one of the most satisfying experiences you can have as a gardener. Imagine telling friends that the tomatoes they are enjoying at your dinner party were not only grown by you but started by you from seed. You will surprise yourself at how easy it really is.
Garden pro, Rob Sproule, loves talking to gardeners who are just starting out and are eager to get their fingers dirty. Rob has written two books, most recently Gardening with Colour: Creative Design Ideas for Canadian Garden. He writes dozens of articles a year and speaks across Canada.

Ashes 2013: It's been tough but we fight on, says not so jolly Chris Rogers
Stephen Brenkley
Stephen Brenkley is Cricket Correspondent for The Independent.
Tuesday 30 July 2013
Australia's senior player has reflected on the rigours of playing in an Ashes Test series. Chris Rogers was determinedly realistic and refreshingly candid, but he did not sound like a man who seriously thought that the 2-0 losing margin against England was about to be overturned.
"The pressures that come with playing international cricket are far more than in domestic cricket, naturally," he said. "It's still quite hard to experience once you're in, just the scrutiny I guess that comes with that, particularly as we haven't played to the standard that we would have liked, and myself individually."
Rogers was chosen for this tour at the age of 35 as the experienced old hand despite having made his only Test appearance five years ago. It was felt that his knowledge of English conditions playing for Middlesex and his calm demeanour would buttress a fragile batting order.
Although he scored a staunch half-century at Trent Bridge in the second innings of the first Test, it has not gone according to plan. At Lord's Rogers was out twice to Graeme Swann, lbw to a full toss which he ought to have reviewed, and then bowled by a ball to which he shouldered arms. He knew what to expect in this series, but it appears to have taken its toll.
"It's been tough to take in some respects but I knew this was going to happen so I've just got to get on with it," he said. "There's things about it that are quite intense and sometimes hard to enjoy. There's pros and cons, but I'm loving this opportunity."
Rogers will probably keep his place for the third Test but, like almost every other batsman in Australia's top order, he needs runs to continue to justify his selection. Darren Lehmann, the Australia coach, gave Rogers and Shane Watson his blessing as openers in a pre-emptive move almost as soon as he took over and it would be seen as panic to change after two matches.
But Australia seem certain to make at least one alteration to the team which were roundly defeated at Lord's, with David Warner coming in. He will probably dislodge Phil Hughes, who looks distinctly out of sorts and out of his class for the second successive Ashes series in England.
Steve Smith, another under-performer in the middle order, is in some discomfort with a sore back. Although it is assumed he will be fit, it may give the selectors an opportunity to try someone else. Australia need runs so desperately that they seem prepared to try almost any combination.
The fact they have settled neither on their personnel nor the order in which they will bat is testament to their present difficulties. They will not, it is presumed, make the mistake of fielding two spinners simply because England have two in their squad. Rogers assessed that the team has plenty to do.
He said: "I don't think there's anything else you can do, fight as hard as you can, try to stay out there and not surrender your wicket, which we've probably been doing a little bit too easily."

MINNEAPOLIS - 2009: Leslie Frazier of the Minnesota Vikings poses for his 2009 NFL headshot at photo day in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by NFL Photos)
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Off of last week's disappointing loss at Chicago, Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier polled his team whether any motivational speeches need to be delivered prior to Sunday's game at Green Bay. Minnesota still has playoff hopes, and possibilities, but time is running short for the Vikings to make their run. Frazier's players didn't need any speeches. They say they know the importance of Sunday's game against the Packers. "At this level, if you can't get excited about this opportunity, whew, you're in the wrong business," Frazier said. "I asked them this exact question, 'Do I have to give a motivational speech to get us ready to play this game?' And I asked them to give me some feedback and, to a man, no. We'll be ready to play. It's a matter of are we good enough to get it done on the road? I just don't sense that they'll be lackadaisical about their approach this week." Speeches have ...

Beau Raymond Chooses Genelec Active Monitoring for His New Studio Facility
â Producer/engineer for artists including Joss Stone, Motley Crüe, members of the Black Crowes and others, now has the acclaimed Genelec 8260A System in place at Family Farm, his 2,500-square-foot
facility in Portland, Oregon â
Beau Raymond knows sound. Having served as the engineer or producer for a wide range of artists (Joss Stone, Motley Crüe, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Devendra Banhart, Little Joy, members of the Black Crowes, Bert Jansch, the Neptunes), and working alongside production legends (Joe Chiccarelli, Rick Rubin, Rich Costey, Pat Leonard, Bob Rock), heâs now taken his substantial experience in Los Angeles studios and migrated it to indie music hub Portland, Oregon. There he opened his 2,500-square-foot Family Farm studio in 2011. For monitoring, he turned to Active Monitors from Genelec, the worldâs longstanding pioneer in active monitoring. The 6,000-square-foot building also houses a lounge and a spacious apartment for visiting recording artists. The studio has already done sessions with the Dandy Warhols, the Jayhawks and the Portland Cello Project.
Raymond is a highly critical but curious listener and a self-confessed âgear junkie,â so he was up for checking out the pair of Genelec 8260A Tri-Amplified DSP Monitors suggested to him by retailer Vintage King and brought over to his studio by Scott Esterson of Genelec. âI listened to them and they sounded good, but you canât really understand a speaker until youâve actually done work on them,â Raymond points out.
He used the Genelec 8260Aâs to mix the unfinished tracks of a record he had been working on at that time, and during the course of the mix, he came to appreciate the 8260Asâ accuracy and authenticity. But what sold him was the enthusiastic response of the mastering engineer he sent the record to after the mix. The mastering engineer immediately recognized that the record had been mixed on two different pairs of monitors, and he raved to Raymond the mix of the songs that happened to be mixed on the Genelecs. âConsiderably more depth in the low end, greater accuracy and better balance across the sound field,â says Raymond. âBut perhaps best of all, they were both fun and functional; they can give me the kind of volume I need for when clients want to track and listen back loud, but they actually sound great at any volume. And while I was initially skeptical of the DSP system â I always wondered if systems like that actually compensate for deficiencies in the speakers themselves â I quickly realized that the Genelec DSP system really works. The speakers sound great on their own, but the DSP brings them to the next level by adjusting them perfectly to the room theyâre in. Iâm glad I have them.â

India: A Million Mutinies Now by V.S. Naipaul (out of print). A great, patient encyclopedia of India, illuminating the present through long biographies of tradesmen, entrepreneurs, and retired court officials. Strong prejudices and learning, controlled in careful, objective prose.
Travels in Arabia Deserta by Charles M. Doughty (Adamant Media, 2 vols., $33 each). Part pilgrim, part martyr-manqué, Doughty walks for two years through the most xenophobic areas of Arabia in the 1870s, enduring beatings, fevers, poverty, and death threats. He recorded it in an archaic Anglo-Saxon–inflected epic prose.
Tristes Tropiques by Claude Lévi-Strauss (Penguin, $20). "Je hais les voyages et les explorateurs"—"I hate journeys and travelers"—is the first line. The structural anthropologist's ironic, paradoxical insights into "primitive culture" and the illusions of foreigners are combined with an adventure up the Amazon.
River Town by Peter Hessler (HarperCollins, $15). A Peace Corps volunteer describes two years teaching in a Chinese city on the Yangtze. Hessler's 2006 book is open to the comedy of the everyday; it's self-deprecating, respectful, and funny. It captures the provincialism, the modernity, the xenophobia, and the energy of modern China.

I used to work for a trucking company in Minnesota that had been around for 96 years, but it shut down in 2009. I couldn't find a job, so I ended up declaring bankruptcy and going through foreclosure.
Then I finally found a job at Walmart, where I made $7.50 an hour. But even that wasn't enough to live on, especially since I have to pay $759 a month in child support.
So when I found out Walmart really needed people to work in the Williston location, and that they would pay me more per hour to move there, I put my name in right away. I moved here in July, and I now make $16.80 an hour and get lots of overtime -- at $25.39. I usually get $2,400 every two-week pay period, and I get health benefits.
It's surrealistic here. Just crazy. Every day it gets crazier. You sometimes just don't believe the things you see. The other day I was texting on my cell phone in the Walmart doorway and some kid took off stealing stuff from inside and ran right smack into me. I went flying into the air like a tackling dummy.
The town has started cracking down on people like us living in the Walmart parking lot. But since it's a 24-hour location, we just keep buying little things from the store and keep the receipts in case someone tries to make us move.
In Williston, N.D., America's newest oil boomtown, thousands have come looking for work. Yet, many of them can't find housing.

The annual Christmas party for Southern Cross Austereo staff has been cancelled as the company feels the backlash against 2Day FM's royal prank phone call.
Fairfax Media has learnt the sombre feeling at the station over the tragic death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha extended to radio bosses cancelling the event, which was planned for Thursday night, out of respect to her family. The bash was to be held at the Oxford Arc Factory in Sydney.
Calls to the Darlinghurst venue confirmed the event had been cancelled.
The party, which had been planned before Saturday's news of the death of the British nurse, was cancelled as the station sought to distance itself from responsibility for the prank call to King Edward VII's Hospital on December 4.
After a tough year in which the broadcaster plunged from scandal to scandal, putting out fires largely centred on presenter Kyle Sandilands's on-air gaffes, staff were said to be looking forward to seeing the year out on a high with the Christmas party a chance to finally let down their hair.
"It was like we had just seen the light," said one radio worker in sales.
"Morale had just started to build after the last Christmas, which was bad enough. And now this Christmas is, well, just an awful disaster. Staff are really dejected."
After last week's stunt in which the Summer 30 DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian pretended to be the Queen and Prince Charles in a prank call, the station suspended all advertising, terminated the Hot 30 show, made a company-wide suspension of prank calls and set up a comprehensive review of company policies and processes.
The duo appeared on Channel Seven's Today Tonight and Channel Nine's A Current Affair in carefully scripted interviews on Monday night to speak of their sorrow and regret.
Staff within Austereo are also said to be spooked by a YouTube video, which has since been removed, purporting to be from the vigilante "hacktivist" group Anonymous, which threatened 2Day FM and its advertisers.

Best coffee shop I've ever been too. Aero press is available and tastes amazing. Chap knows his beans and coffee for sure. Highly worth a visit!
If I have to choose the best coffee I had in Norwich, the one in Littlehaven would be the one. It is a small and cosy place where you can also find delicious pastries and cakes (I particular recommend orange and almond cake). The owner is very friendly. It's worth to visit!
Have been to Littlehaven for enjoyable trips multiple times. Very friendly owner with a good knowledge of coffee. Great little breakfast and small lunch snacks on offer (particular recommend the Brie, bacon & chutney ciabatta) and a great range of hot drinks. Can't praise this place highly enough!
if you like your coffee as much as I do then this cafe has got to be the place to go. One of the best places in Norwich to enjoy the bean in many guises, the owner certainly knows his trade and takes the time to explain to the not so well versed.
I make a point of going every...
This little coffee shop is the best. I visited whilst in Norwich and went back nearly every day, service is always with a smile, coffee is excellent. The oat and raspberry muffins are fab. Definitely reccomend a visit.
I've been coming to the Littlehaven for a long time and figured I should write a review! The coffee is consistently excellent and it is my personal favourite coffee shop in in Norwich. There is also a good range of tasty sandwiches and cakes, which make for a lovely lunch. All in a very friendly environment.
Finally made it here after their summer break. A very cosy little place and symptomatic of many similar bars springing up in Norwich right now. Good coffee and a friendly welcome with the only downside from my point of view being that it's not on my route into work. Deserves the good reviews that it has already garnered.
Nice enough little cafe. People seem to come for the coffee, which I can't comment on, not being an expert. So, judging it on food, tea and atmosphere alone, I'd have to say that it's fourth for me in Norwich, after The Window (fab, friendly atmosphere and location), The Greengrocer (amazing food lovely staff) and Cafe Marzano (location, opening hours...
its just a nice cosy little place to drop in for a lovely coffee and nice sandwichs and a cake..with a very warm welcome from nick...and its mostly organic and healthy food...yes i would reccomend it to anyone ....for a good cuppa and snack....well done little haven
I visited this place because of its good reviews in this website. The reality surpassed my expectations by far. Coffee is strong, acid, but flavorful, probably the best you can have in Norwich. Cakes are gentle to the palad, intense in flavor, humid...honestly, the best cakes I've ever had. 2 coffee, 1 brownie and 1 sponge cake costed around 7,5£,...

Bengazi Report Part of Cover-up
The Bengazi mystery boils down to one key question: On what basis did Hillary, Susan Rice and the president camouflage the terrorist attack on our consulate as an over-reaction to a film about Muhammed?
The blue ribbon commission charged with investigating the attack not only has provided no answer to this question, it perpetuated a cover-up by distracting attention from the main issue to side matters.
We understand that there was a lack of security at the consulate. We get it that it was foolish to rely on Libyan troops or police to protect our people. We already know that warnings of an impending attack were ignored. We have gathered that Ambassador Stevens might have been more forceful in requesting security. We know all that.
But we don't know on what basis the top officials in our country pretended the attack was something it was not and refused to acknowledge what it was — a terror attack on the anniversary of 9/11.
All the report does is to further beg this question by noting that the raid was never anything but a terror attack. There was never, according to its findings, the remotest reason to ascribe it to a civil demonstration turned violent. But, in the middle of an election campaign, the president, the woman who wants to be the next president, and our U.N. Ambassador lied and told us that the attack was a reaction to a film. How was the decision made to have the president go before the United Nations and discuss the importance of respect for one another's religion in the same breath as he commented on the attack? What was the anatomy and evolution of this lie?
The administration's desire to throw us off the trail and cover-up the terror attack ranks up there with British Prime Minister Tony Blair's attempt to "sex up" Saddam Hussein's supposed ability to hit Britain with WMDs prior to the Iraq invasion.
One wonders at the severity of Hillary Clinton's conveniently timed illness and her unfortunate inability to testify. But the State Department report makes it even more urgent that she be summoned to testify when she recovers, even if the testimony comes after she has left office. The offense of lying to the American people and the world about so important an issue must be examined and the proper blame allocated to the public officials involved.
But there will be a temptation on Capitol Hill to drop the inquiry after the Hillary-less hearing. We must not let them do so! Don't let her off the hook.

Recent highlighted incidents of bullying in some of our schools have increased an awareness of the high level of bullying among schoolchildren. Bullying, a behaviour characterized by teasing, taunting, name-calling, threatening, spreading gossip or malicious rumours, hitting and stealing, is normally initiated by one or more students against another. It can also include situations where the student is wilfully "left out", causing that student to feel isolated. Parents must not be fooled. Bullying is done by both sexes. However, girls tend to be a bit more subtle than boys, using exclusion and verbal weapons rather than fists and fights. With the advancement of technology, cyberbullying has become a major force. Some students in the comfort of their homes are sending harassing emails or instant messages, as well as intimidating blogs, striking fear in the hearts of others. They are also impersonating others or posting personal information, photos, or videos with the intention being to hurt, embarrass or destroy. Bullies attack their victims for a variety of reasons. It may be due to different cultural or religious beliefs, jealousy, high intellect or the perception of being privileged. There are many factors that might cause children to become bullies. They may have fallen in with the wrong crowd and are being influenced. In their bid to be accepted, they must "walk the walk". Furthermore, they may have a personality disorder where their emotional and behavioural development has been neglected or starved, and in order to feed this they resort to bullying. What can parents do? • Look for the signs. Some children might be afraid to go to school. They may complain of headaches or stomach aches and have trouble concentrating on schoolwork. They might be depressed, have low self-esteem and/or suffer from anxiety. Sad but true, they may cherish thoughts or attempt suicide. • Some children might even show signs of aggression. • Talk with your children. Prolonged bullying can cause serious damage to the educational and personal development of children and may cause them psychological distress. • Communicate concerns to the teacher at once. Be sure to document all you know about the situation so that you do not forget to mention any important points. Do not exaggerate. • Find out what action the school intends to take and give it sufficient time to deal with the matter. • If it is convenient, remove the child from the environment. Get the child a transfer to another school. Physical punishment is an inappropriate punishment for the bully, for it reinforces that violence is an appropriate solution to any problem. Instead, provide support, supervision and mentoring. If the bully refuses to respond positively to the assistance given, then he or she should be removed to protect the other students. Parents need to teach their children how to recognize and respond to bullying. When a child complains of being bullied, take action and investigate. It is a matter that should not be taken lightly. Do not leave any "stones unturned"; "get to the root of the matter" before it is too late. Step up and stamp out bullying now! • Rhonda A.

Axed workers train Indian replacements
Sacked Telstra staff are being forced to train the Indian help-desk operators who'll replace them.
More than 250 local staff have gone in the latest round of staff cuts which have totalled more than 2,000 in recent years.
Operators from an Indian outsourcing company are already in Melbourne being trained.
Len Cooper from the Telecommunciations Union says staff were instructed by the union not to co-operate but Telstra found a way around it.
PLAY: The union details what's happening to Neil Mitchell

Here here Allan Hall. I too would love a public list of companies that use offshore call centres so that I could boycott them.Kathryn Tuesday 14 February, 2012 - 6:50 PM
... "still votes for Labor, they ceased to represent the working people of this country decades ago, about time we got rid of the useless bunch of corrupt lying fools"
Mmmmm I seem to recall one J Howard/LNP who promised never ever GST and whose progressive IR law reforms decimated the Australian workforce and didnt employers lap it up and wield their power.
People need to realise that any Government elected to office in this country (like any other country) couldnt give a toss about its people.Back in the good old days the economic system in Australia worked for everyone in a way that it will never work again. Poor and working class people had the opportunity to work their way up if they wanted, and that's just not always an option today no matter which political party gets into office.To paraphrase,"most decisions made in the banking and corporate boardrooms favour the 1% while the rest of the 99% are paying the cost".citygirl Tuesday 14 February, 2012 - 5:50 PM
Is Jan like the serial Liberal pest on this site - an opinion on everything but no balance!Craig in Ballarat Tuesday 14 February, 2012 - 5:06 PM
These workers will all have to wait 13wks to receive welfare if they are eligible at all while the imports are all getting money for nothing. We are nothing more than a nuisance to the Govt and Industry.Rob Tuesday 14 February, 2012 - 4:50 PM
Wow Peggy that's disgraceful, it is about time our pathetic federal government did something about protecting jobs in Australia, it's in the pollies interest how will they get their big fat pensions for life if there are no workers left to pay the taxes for them. What is going to happen when our mineral resources finally run dry?
Although I guess, the bludgers in power up in Canberra do not give a crap about the average worker in this country, I do not understand how any who works for a weekly wage still votes for Labor, they ceased to represent the working people of this country decades ago, about time we got rid of the useless bunch of corrupt lying foolsJan Tuesday 14 February, 2012 - 12:37 PM
Jan, I would too if it were tat simple. They ALL do it, even Dodo.
I know that Optus, Telstra, TPG and Dodo do it because it was shown on a current affair program so which one can we chose? I would gladly switch to the one using our people. They are all based in the Philippines. It was shown that they were trained in India so even India is now charging too much. When they can pay an employee @2000 a year they will not consider Australia. Unfortunately these sacked employees most likely have mortgages with these banks.Peggy Tuesday 14 February, 2012 - 11:08 AM

The last time that Ukraine had a mixed election system – electing half of its 450 members of parliament in geographic districts, the other half through party lists – was 2002. This year's return to the mixed system a decade later, for the Oct. 28 parliamentary election, is instructive because of the high probability that history will repeat itself in the voting results.

Thomas Donnelly
She takes the dark
Turns it into light
And my wound she heals it
Where once I was blind
Now there is sight
And my ire she cools it
She takes the dark
Turns it into light
She sings to me
From a far universe
This bond survives
And worlds traverse
You think me broken?
Quite the reverse
She sets me free
When I am bound in chains
I can't explain it
Two different swords
But the steel is the same
Forever may it be
And thus we sit
By our respective seas
Our bond lives on
Each other in our dreams
We close our eyes
And oh how far we see!

Biggest welcome from Liam and well looked after by Steve over brekkie. Location was great, quiet and a nice walkable distance to restaurant
The mattress was definitely soft and could do with updating,
The' staff culture' at the hotel is welcoming, helpful with a light friendly manner.Very good at giving information if asked. Chef is very good as the food is excellent, with a very good choice on the menu, and we were never disappointed with our meals.
having to leave !!!
cleanliness and staff`s courtesy.
Despite not liking hard beds, this one was so soft that both my husband and sustained back ache! always a disappointment not to have a bath to indulge in.
We felt welcome and the staff are really friendly. The hotel is set back from the beach so it's in a quiet location. The rooms are a nice size and lovely and clean. The king size double beds are so comfortable we had a great night sleep.
The only thing we both did not like was the cooked breakfast. It's was only thing that let the hotel down. The breakfast was microwaved and was over cooked and tasteless.
Friendly helpful staff. Good service & variety at breakfast. Good location.
No car park although free on street parking located easily enough. Not the most comfortable bed.
Good Breakfast. Lovely decor in lounge /dining areas. Close to prom and sea front. Friendly staff.
lots of little staircases although stair lifts are available. bedrooms are a bit dated although clean and comfy.
Very friendly and approachable staff on both reception and at breakfast. The hotel is spotless and has been recently decorated to a very good standard. It has a TV lounge a restraunt and also a very nice bar and lounge. Again all decorated really nice and again spotless. The bedroom was perfect and had all that we needed for our stay. Definitely would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again
There was nothing to dislike about anything about this hotel.
Friendly, helpful staff. Dog friendly.
No airco in the room but staff did offer to supply a fan.
We were very impressed with the hotel staff who were very accommodating. The quality of the food was superb with a varied menu to suit all tastes. Facilities to charge a motorised scooter were especially welcome.
Very clean and staff were very accommodating!
The decor was a bit dated and room smelt a bit musty and damp
Friendly reception staff Good breakfast
Room located adjacent to kitchen extractor flue Poor room temperature Mattress too soft
Friendly staff Clean room
Bed too soft Room too hot Shower spray not working properly
Very friendly staff, lovely breakfast. Very good location, close to the beach and restaurants.
The room was a bit too noisy, could hear music, not sure if it was in the hotel or outside then had someone singing outside in the early hours!
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was good, nice menu, something for everyone in our party.
Great staff clean rooms nice location, lovely restaurant.
Rooms seem quite dated.
Extremely helpful staff in a well cared for hotel. Informative and available.
we loved everything
The staff were very friendly and accommodating from arrival the hotel is immaculate and breakfast was superb- great variety and well presented. Couldn't fault out stay in anyway, a stones throw from the seafront- perfect!
Maybe slightly modernise rooms eg; curtains and interior decor to match the rest of the hotel downstairs - but that's a personal thing!!!
good breakfast, helpful staff
some one had smoked in the lift
Friendly staff, very close to the beach and located in a lovely area!!!
Very friendly staff
Uncomfy small beds Noise from the entertainment Noise from road Lack of parking on busy theatre days
fresh croissants for breakfast
no wifi in the room
Staff we're welcoming, friendly and very helpful. Room was very nice and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was excellent. We will be going back on our next trip.
Only stayed the one night but found the staff very welcoming and friendly. Room compact but clean and comfortable. Close to the theatres and only a 10 minute walk to town and pier so accessible to all amenities. Would definitely return.

And just like that, hours after its debut at the Game Developers Choice Awards, we've got the Deus Ex: Human Revolution trailer for you to enjoy after the break. There's not a lot to see so, instead, let's talk about what we hear. Is that Christian Bale or just a Batman soundalike?

Cyber Sites for Moms: Word Power
by Kathleen Bieke
Working on a school paper and wishing you had bought that thesaurus at the store last week? Having a tough time remembering where you put that dictionary? Being online definitely has its advantages. Go to Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online and with just a few keystrokes get the information you need.
Type in the word and Presto! There is your answer! If you are uncertain how many s's are in Mississippi, you can use the Wildcard Search. Simply insert question marks where the s's are and the search engine will find words close to the letters you have entered.
Trying to increase your vocabulary? The Word of the Day feature may interest you. You don't just get the word, definition and pronunciation. There is also an example sentence and an informational section called Did You Know? This is great for exposing kids to new vocabulary words. Even if you did a word a week, it opens their mind to words other than "play" "video games" and "clean your room."
The Word Game of the Day is interesting as well. There are 5 different ways to play and previous games are archived. It's a fun way to learn new words but be prepared to feel like a 6 year old looking at a college textbook. LOTS of big words! Of course you can download and buy related material here too. This is a wonderful resource to have bookmarked. Until next time.
