School Board Considers Alcohol Wands
The first reading on a proposed policy on alcohol sensor devices used to detect underage drinking was heard last night at a special Teton County School District Workshop. At the request of parents, the Teton County School Board has been drafting a new policy involving alcohol wands to be used at school dances and other school sponsored events. The wands would be used to sense alcohol that is present in the air several inches from a student. The proposed policy outlined some general provisions including that the devices may be used as a condition of participation at certain school functions, particularly school dances, and that law enforcement may be called if a student who refuses to participate in a screening exhibits other signs of alcohol use. Only a handful of parents approached the podium during the public comment period but all were in support of the proposed policy. School board member Paul D'amours was the only person to voice doubts about the proposed policy during the workshop. He worried that students might turn to other drugs not detectable by the alcohol wand and that the policy only addressed alcohol use at school related events. The proposed policy will be an agenda item during the Teton County School Board's meeting Wednesday, January 11th.

Force India not shown on TV in qualifying
|S. Vettel
|L. Hamilton
|M. Webber
21 April 2012 – Suspicions have been aroused in the Formula 1 paddock after Bernie Ecclestone's FOM television failed to show a single full frame of a Force India car during the qualifying broadcast for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
After several weeks of bickering as to whether or not the sport should be travelling to Bahrain amid the ongoing civil unrest, four Force India mechanics found themselves caught up in a protest when travelling from the circuit to their hotel on Wednesday night. Fearful of safety, Deputy Team Principal Bob Fernley confirmed on Friday that the team would skip second practice to ensure that all staff returned to capital city Manama before nightfall, despite an offer from Ecclestone of a police escort.
As Force India's decision generated much press coverage even outside of Formula 1, many inside the sport and fans across the internet are now convinced that their cars were not shown in qualifying because of an order from Ecclestone. FOM (Formula One Management) is responsible for the world TV feed, which is used by global broadcasters of the sport and cannot be replaced by independent directors.
The only brief sight of a Force India during qualifying was when Mark Webber, watched from his on-board camera, shot past Paul di Resta in the closing moments.

1 charm = same
2 charms = trade
3 charms = random item
As to that question, I believe he was talking about having the option to use more than one charm on a single roll. So if you use one, it works the same as now. If you elect to use 2 charms, then you can trade a drop you have for a different one on that loot table. Like if you have the helm and you just got another helm, you could choose to use 2 charms and trade that for the sha-touched weapon. And finally for using all 3 charms on one roll, you are guaranteed a drop but it's random from the loot table.

text: Think Progress, Daily Kos, Crooks and Liars Punked By Parody Site by Debra Heine 27 Jul 2014 post a comment Share This: The left-wing website, Think Progress had to issue a major correction on a post about Michele Bachmann, Sunday - and by major correction, I mean the entire post has been crossed out - except for the correction. The news site KCTV7 News is a parody. Rep. Bachmann (R-MN) never made the statement. We sincerely regret the error. Think Progress, which is operated by the Soros-funded progressive "idea factory," the Center for American Progress - failed to vet a "too good to check" story that claimed Minnesota U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann was pushing "Americanization" labor camps for Central American migrant children. Sounds pretty likely, right? Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has offered up a new solution to the humanitarian crisis along the US/ Mexico border, where tens of thousands of unaccompanied illegal immigrant children are currently being detained. And now she's calling on President Barack Obama to help push forward a bipartisan effort to see her idea become a reality. Bachmann's plan? Send those children to labor camps, which she warmly refers to as "Americanization Facilities," with the goal of having them pay off their past, present, and future care expenses, while assimilating them into American culture. And in exchange for that labor, the children would be fast-tracked on a path to citizenship. The hoax, which stoked left-wing fantasies (and projection) about conservatives behaving like Nazis, reeled in two other major left-wing websites - Daily Kos, and Crooks and Liars, according to the Daily Caller. In its parody article, KCTV 7 claimed that Bachmann called for the work camps in an interview with Minnesota's Twin Cities News talk radio host Jason Lewis. But the fake site merely linked to Twin Cities News' website, not to an actual article or radio interview featuring Bachmann. Kansas City is home to KCTV 5 - a legitimate news station. There is no KCTV 7 in the Kansas City area, and if the Think Progress writer had bothered to look, there are several online posts point out that KCTV 7 is a fake news site. The Daily Caller reports another liberal website, the Raw Story, pointed out the massive hoax. But the Raw Story seemed to provide cover for Think Progress' error in its headline, which read "Crazy racist Bachmann story so believable liberal websites fall for parody." Which is the same excuse snookered libs are using in the Think Progress comment section.

According to a friend of the pilot, the pilot was taking the airplane to have an annual inspection completed. The friend assisted the pilot before departure and watched as the airplane departed. He did not notice any anomalies with the airplane during the takeoff or the climbout. According to a witness in the vicinity of the accident site, he heard the airplane coming toward him, and it was flying very low. He looked up and saw the airplane approximately 200 feet over his house and descending toward the trees. As he watched the airplane, he noticed that the right propeller was not turning, and the right engine was not running. He stated that the left engine sounded as if it was running at full power. The airplane pitched up to avoid a power line and rolled to the right, descending below the tree line. A plume of smoke and an explosion followed.Examination of the right propeller assembly revealed evidence of significant frontal impact. The blades were bent but did not have indications of rotational scoring; thus they likely were not rotating at impact. One preload plate impact mark indicated that the blades were at an approximate 23-degree angle; blades that are feathered are about 86 degrees. Due to fire and impact damage of the right engine and related system components, the reason for the loss of power could not be determined. An examination of the airframe and left engine revealed no mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.A review of the airplane maintenance logbooks revealed that the annual inspection was 12 days overdue. According to Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1009AS, the recommended time between engine overhaul is 1,200 hours or 12 years, whichever occurs first. A review of the right engine maintenance logbook revealed that the engine had accumulated 1,435 hours since major overhaul and that neither engine had been overhauled within the preceding 12 years. Although the propeller manufacturer recommends that the propeller be feathered before the engine rpm drops below 1,000 rpm, a review of the latest revision of the pilot operating handbook (POH) revealed that the feathering procedure for engine failure did not specify this. It is likely that the pilot did not feather the right propeller before the engine reached the critical 1,000 rpm, which prevented the propeller from engaging in the feathered position.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

EoT: The British on Texas Prisons, and El Paso Invents Thanksgiving?
By the Reporting Texas staff
Eyes on Texas is a weekly roundup of news about the state from around the world.
The British media are, if nothing else, occupied with the Texas criminal justice system (and usually the death penalty). A Guardian column notes that Texas has shut a high-security prison for the first time in history. Can the state "with more executions and fewer bleeding hearts than elsewhere in America" teach the Brits a thing or two about cutting crime, costs and the numbers in jail? A letter to the editor in the Toronto Star this weekend says that the Harper government in Canada should take note.
The Sunday Morning Express reports on a documentary about a British woman on death row here. Linda Carty was sentenced to death for the abduction and murder of 25-year-old Joana Rodriguez, allegedly in order to steal Rodriguez' 4-day-old son. If she's killed, Carty will be the first British woman to be executed since Ruth Ellis, who was hanged in London in 1955.
Gawker takes a straight Houston-area story and runs with it. The New York blog takes a jab at Fort Bend District Attorney John Healey, claiming that a "murder suspect goes free after DA forgets to indict him." How did it happen? Gawker offers the following scenario: "Make pozole for office party? Check. Pay mortgage? Check. Buy dog food? Check. Indict that dude Richard for murder? … Aw …"
The History News Network looks at the legend that the first Thanksgiving was near El Paso! From CNN (via Amarillo's KVII) and the Huff Post: Instead of Turkey, Texas, how about Tofurky, Texas? PETA can only ask. (Also a lesson in how a state video can make a national splash.)

Radiohead Morning Bell Lyrics
Last updated: 09/27/2013 09:35:12 AM
Morning bell
Morning bell
Light another candle
Release me
Release me
You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Coming down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Release me
Release me
Where'd you park the car?
Where'd you park the car?
Clothes are all over the furniture
Now I might as well
I might as well
Sleepy jack the fire drill
Run around around around around around....
Cut the kids in half [x3]
The lights are on but nobody's home
Everybody wants to be a
The lights are on but nobody's home
Nobody wants to be a slave
Walking walking walking walking...
The lights are on but nobody's home
Everybody wants to be a
Everyone wants to be a friend
Nobody wants to be a slave
Walking walking walking walking...
Thanks to janet for submitting Morning Bell Lyrics.
¡¡Thanks GOD I do not understand english easily, so I only enjoy the music......!!! | Reviewer: Nepo | 9/27/13
As I said in the title of my comment:
¡¡Thanks GOD I do not understand english easily, so I only enjoy the music......!!!
English IS NOT my native language, and I must do an effort to translate in my mind....But, as the MOST of the lyrics, HAS NO SENSE, I only enjoy, in this case, the 5/4 tempo, combined with a growing tension along the song. I have trained my ears listening CLASSICAL MUSIC, sinphonic, fugues, barroque, etc....
Is easy to me ELIMINATE the sense of the LYRICS, and GET THE VOCALS AS AN ANOTHER INSTRUMENT, like a guitar, or a sinthesyzer...
Meaning? | Reviewer: mat | 3/14/12
Guys (and Girls, of course)
I started (ended) here to find out, and I still don't have a clue what the song really is about - but I truly enjoyed reading your discussion and I think it frankly pointed out the way it is.
Thank you so much,
Nah | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/29/11
I am not sure that there is a specific story being told. I think that there are just a bunch of phrases here that all evoke certain emotions. The journey that the song takes you through is about those emotions, and not so much about a story.
For love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/3/11
To those of us who still believe radiohead is merely stating political controversies:
listen closely because radiohead has something more to say than just nuclear attacks and war. Their music is a song for the soul. Stop searching for a meaning. Just sit back, listen, and let them heal your soul.
To David | Reviewer: Justin | 1/19/11
Trust me, I believe that Radiohead songs are DEFINATELY up to personal interpretation. But this song is not meant to be listened to alone, Kid A is meant to be listened to from start to finish, therefore the song must be put in context with the album. Thom Yorke describes this song as a very violent song, which seems to lean much more towards the nuclear holocaust theory than the divorce theory. Saying the song is about divorce completely takes it out of context from the album, which is very much illustrating an apocalyptic atmosphere. Just read the lines in the album. Optimistic- "Flies are buzzing round my head, vultures circling the dead." Idioteque- "We're not scare mongering, this is really happening." and most importantly to this conversation, Morning Bell- "Clothes are on the lawn, with the furniture." All of these seem to scream apocalypse to me, but I'm not saying it can't be taken in a different context. The thing is though, if you take morning bell in a divorce context, you'd have to take the whole album Kid A in a context that would make it fit. After all Thom Yorke has said the album is meant to be listened to as a whole, and that it tells a story. As for "Sit Down, Stand Up", I believe what your describing is an excellent personal interpretation of the song. But to me, it seems much more to be written the way it is, to put an emphasis on how blindly we follow our rulers, doing pointless things over and over for them like sitting down, and standing up. Don't forget that Hail To The Thief is supposed to be a record describing a dystopian future much like George Orwell's novel "1984" does, and the song 2+2=5 is a referance to this very novel. Sorry for the rant ha, I can see that we are both passionate about this band, so I'm assuming your just as big of a fan as I haha (:.
Justin, you are wrong about some things | Reviewer: David | 1/17/11
First let me just start off by saying you are correct about how they wrote most of the songs on Kid A (drawing attractive sentences/phrases out of a hat) but it is not all pure coincidence. Thom has been singing a lot of songs lately hinting at divorce (look up Lotus Flower, it will be on the next album) but you are way off about "Sit down, Stand up". Yes, it is sung from a dictator-like perspective, but the whole message of the song is that less than 0.00001 of humanity controls the fate of the world (that is, the people that can actually call a nuclear strike.) This is what it means: Sit down, Stand up, it doesnt matter, once the nukes blow, nothing matters. Walk into the jaws of hell, anytime. The nuclear apocolypse = the jaws of hell, and if the nukes are launched, its fair to say we wont know, as civilians, until its actually blown up, so it could happen before i finish this sentence. Also, when this song is performed live, Thom likes to do a little skit during "The raindrops..." part, where he puts his shirt over his head (likes its raining) and he runs in place. If we go into a Nuclear Winter (like idioteque/Sit Down, Stand Up portrays) debris will fill the atmosphere and it will rain most days out of the year. One big problem. Its radioactive rain. Ok, now lets put that into context (and chronological order.) Sit down, stand up, it doesn't matter what YOU do cus it only takes 1 man with the power to make the whole world walk into the jaws of hell at anytime. Sit down, stand up, it doesnt matter what YOU do cus we can whipe you out, anytime. Even if you do somehow survive, even the raindrops will kill you. And lastly, the beauty of Radiohead is that on different days, in different moods, every song can totally change meaning on you out of nowhere. So don't be so hasty to write peoples interpretations off, cus i guarantee you that someone going through a divorce, and someone who has survived an air-raid, will get just as much satisfaction and meaning out of this same song (Morning Bell). Do you see what I'm trying to say?
I can't believe people aren't seeing the meaning here. | Reviewer: Justin | 1/15/11
Divorce? Really? The Morning Bell is obviously referring to the alarm that would go off before a bomb raid, and the song depicts the chaos that follows. Put this song in context with the song before it on Kid A, "Idioteque", which also depicts an apocalyptic atmosphere, and makes references to possible nuclear holocaust. And to the person who said "Sit Down, Stand Up" has no meaning, your talking out of your ass. Thom Yorke was imitating a person of power or a dictator in that song, ordering the people below him to do pointless things like "walk into the jaws of hell." "And the rain drops" is repeated to put emphasis on the dark atmosphere the world is in. I can't believe most people can't see that alot of Radiohead's music is kind of warning us about the potential disasters the world can be facing in the future, this is what Thom is trying to do. Anyways, this song is brilliant, and Kid A is a perfect album.
Doesn't mean much | Reviewer: Phil | 11/4/10
Quite frankly, this song means little. It is a well known fact that during Kid A sessions, Thom Yorke had trouble writing songs. He, thus wrote down a lot of lines, put them in a hat and randomly drew them out. Of course there are references to divorce, this is the theme of the song, however I think trying to over-analyse it is unnecessary and meaningless. For example: try to explain "sleepy Jack the fire drill." Or the title, "Morning Bell," itself is probably only related to the bell synth used in the beginning. A lot of Radiohead songs mean nothing. For example in "Sit Down. Stand Up." Thom said in an interview he only sang "the raindrops" because "it sounded cool on recording."
Cut the Kids in Half | Reviewer: Lewis | 1/18/10
This song has loads of different meanings like the divorce, king solomon and also the cannabalism of the "cut the kids in half" line and obviously being Radiohead, we're never going to find a right or wrong answer (which is great, what the hell does he say in the "Just" video for example)but I got thinking the other day when I read that amnesiac was "Kid A's twin" obviously talking about the two ablums being written at the time. What if Thom diliberately put that line in the song to signify that Amnesiac and Kid A were joint in some way and they had to "cut the kids in half" (two albums) and joint by the song which had that line in it? Its probably really far fetched but I like to think that re-releasing morning bell on Amnesiac (both are amazing) was more than just to "give us another version"
Nonsense | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/9/09
I find that alot of public school boys talk alot of bollocks. Yes i enjoy Radiohead's music, i've bought their records i have seen them live, and i am very much so a devotee. However i find your critique does not validate your interpretation to understand. I find that Radiohead's music is superb in every singular form (thus making them possily one of the greatest bands ever to surface in contemporary music). I do think the meaning and subject matter to songs are interesting. But there's nothing creative about sounding off your own pompous and sickingly pretentious annotations. Kid A is a brilliant record and it won't be forgotten.
Palm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/6/09
I do not understand why people utterly believe that lyrics, music, drawing, literature, etc. were meant to vague conceptions of the artists. Yes, it may their creation, but their jobs are also to create something that an audience will grasp to. So vagueness and art seem to contradict. Not narcissistic, just in actuality an honest understanding of what they're representing.
Ring a Bell | Reviewer: Flic | 8/4/09
I think that Anonymous has it right. This is an adult that has memories of the big bust-up of his parents. The material things were not important. Furniture on the lawn presumably thrown out by the spouse who will remain and the other saying keep it.
There is a choice - leave the family home or stay in an unhappy marriage - bumps on heads. But its a choice that cannot be made because there are kids. The release needed is from the kids who cannot be asked and who aren't likely to agree anyway. And leaving will cut the kids in half metaphorically. The madness of the argument is explained away as a fire drill to protect the sleepy kids from a reality that has been avoided so many times and might be once again. But I think that divorce finally came for Kid A to Kid n.
The violence suggested by "bumps on the head" is a way out of this prison-like situation as others might force a decision on you.
The movie Paris - Texas (Wim Wenders) begins with the walking that ends this piece of genius. But there is another song on Amnesiac "I might be wrong". And I might.
more on deevorce | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/12/09
Not intellectual enough to identify all of the metaphorical references, with some research could probably identify...
if not literally about divorce, could be paralleling the concept of "divorce" more broadly. Release me from the "contract" or attachment to all of these grotesque/maddening circumstances.
I don't know: being a victim again of my own critique: I just see the fire alarm being such a parody to the arguments in divorce that just go round and round in circles: emergency emotional flare ups over and over again until you just want to start walking away and you walk until you find some sanity again.
just thoughts.
Deevorce from your "self" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/12/09
We are such a narcissistic society. Is it possible that Radiohead's lyrics were not meant to be so much "personalized" and matched with your emotions (he's not singing about YOU, more at ALL OF US) who are in this crappy dysfunctional society with it's fantasized utopia and grotesque manifestations of "successful" capitalism.
I am glad people can "personally" relate to Radiohead, but sometimes it seems like the greater irony of Mr. Yorke's lyrics are being missed entirely: ironic in itself is the narcissists only ad to the irony: I guess YOU ARE the "ones" Tom's singing about. Every thread has posts about the emotional attachment to Mr. Yorke, and how they can "personally" relate. I'm not an authority on the subject by any means, but he seems generous enough to "relate" to the human experience that all of us are having in the modern world. However, he is also rather sarcastic about our self-centered and off-based attempts at "self-realization" and seems to be trying to request that we admit to the harsh realities that do actually exist around us...
I do see the parody of complex thought in many of Radiohead's songs- along with analysis of historical and scientific reference.
In this particular song: (of course I don't know the man who wrote it personally so am not an expert on his intentions/interpretation), but in this song in particular, it seems rather obviously about DIVORCE.
Of course, perhaps I am a victim of my own critique and am relating "personal experience" to the lyrics. Who knows?
Cut the kids in half | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/30/09
Cut the kids in half probably has something to do of king solomon's story about the two women arguing over who was the mother of the kid. I think it has something to do with how much we are attached to things and people.

The Associated Press
P-1 Editor's Note -- Read about other off-duty heroes Off-duty Mass. officer jumps into action, ends gunfight Off-duty Ohio officer's shots foil bank robbery Off-duty Calif. officer suprises robbers; pulls out gun instead of wallet Off-duty Conn. officer helps end violent crime spree
The 18-year-old gunman was killed in a shootout with police Monday night.
"He had one thing in mind and that was to kill a large number of people," Salt Lake City Chief Chris Burbank said.
"Heroic efforts by an off-duty officer distracted him and contained him in a position until officers arrived and actually resolved the situation," Burbank said.
The off-duty officer's "quick actions saved the lives of numerous other people," the chief said.
The gunman was identified as Sulejmen Talovic, who had a backpack full of ammunition, a shotgun and a .38-caliber pistol, police said. A motive still was unknown.
"We know very little, other than he was a resident [of] Salt Lake City and was 18 years old," the chief said.
No motive yetDetectives were still trying to determine what sparked Talovic's rampage at the Trolley Square shopping mall on Monday night.
Card store Cabin Fever had been packed with Valentine's Day shoppers when the shooting started, said owner David Dean. He said his assistant manager called him, saying "someone's in the store killing people."
The place was "all shot up" when he saw it Tuesday, and Dean said he believed three or four of the victims died had died inside.
As investigators began interviewing the 100 to 200 witnesses, people placed candles and flowers at two memorials outside the mall for the victims. Business owners surveyed the damage, and shoppers who had fled returned to pick up cars they had to leave parked overnight.
Marie Smith, 23, a Bath & Body Works manager, said she had seen the gunman through the store window. She watched as he raised his gun and fired at a young woman approaching him from behind.
'An Average Joe' explodes"His expression stayed totally calm. He didn't seem upset, or like he was on a rampage," said Smith, who crawled to an employee restroom to hide with others. He looked like "an average Joe," she said.
Killed in the attack were two 28-year-old women, a 52-year-old man, a 24-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl, Snyder said. Four people were hospitalized — a man and a woman in critical condition and two men in serious condition, Snyder said.
For hours after the rampage, police searched stores for scared, shocked shoppers and employees who were hunkered down awaiting a safe escort.
Matt Lund was visiting his wife, Barbara, manager of the Secret Garden children's clothing store, when he heard the first shots. The couple and three others hid in a storage room for about 40 minutes, isolated but still able to hear the violence.

2 indicted in pastor slaying
mswafford, I was in agreement with you all the way until you got "drunk stoned pastor" out of "Alcohol and THC — marijuana's key ingredient — were found in Strong's system". I think we do ourselves a large disservice when we add to the report our assumptions and not sticking to the facts as presented. Without amounts we don't know that he was "drunk" or "stoned", and in any case those factors are not an acceptable "excuse" for his murder.

Shark VZ40, VZ42 & VZ43 Visors - Clear
Product Details
Fitting Guide
Compatible Helmets
These are Genuine Shark Visors, we are official Shark stockist and supply all visors that Shark produce. There are many visor colours available for the Shark, we can supply Clear, Light Tint, Dark Tint, Silver Mirror & Blue Mirror. Please note only the Clear and Light Tint are EC2205 approved. Please see below for details on the different visor options and Pinlock information.
Visor Options
|Pinlock Prepared The visor is fitted with Pinlock pins installed on each side of the visor, this makes the visor ready to accept the Pinlock anti fog insert if required. These antifog inserts can be purchased separately. A visor with the pins can be used with or without the antifog insert, ideal if you may want to fit the insert at a later date.
|Standard The visor is supplied without any alterations or upgrades from its original state. No pins, posts or antifog treatment, just a standard plain visor.
With Clear Pinlock
The Pinlock pins are installed in the visor and you are also supplied the Clear antifog insert insert to go with it. The Pinlock insert is sold at a reduced price if purchased at the same time as the visor.
Antifog Coated
A visor supplied with a anti-fog treatment on the inside to help reduce misting. These visors have to be treated with care as the coating is less durable then the visor.
Pinlock Information
The Pinlock system is based on three basic principles:
- Moisture absorbing material — Unlike the visor, the Pinlock insert is made out of a soft, porous plastic.
- Material thickness — Because thicker material absorbs more moisture and offers more impact protection.
- Double lens system — The air-tight pocket in between the Pinlock insert and the face shield creates an extra insulation layer further increasing the anti-fogging properties of the total system. Fogging up is a thing of the past!
Pinlock inserts are created out of a moisture absorbing plastic. The silicone seal on the insert creates an airtight pocket between the visor and insert. The Pinlock insert is placed between two adjustable eccentric pins, making it easy to install or switch inserts as weather conditions change.
The Pinlock is a very flexible system, allowing you to switch the colour of your insert adjusting to changing weather conditions. You can click one insert out and put the next one in.

Here's my round-up of the top political stories of the week in Kent and beyond:
1. After trying to stave off calls to quit, Maria Miller capitulated to the inevitable and quit her job as culture secretary. Few Kent MPs seemed prepared to comment in public about the saga which left Mr Cameron facing questions about his judgement. One that did was Tracey Crouch, the Chatham and Aylesford MP, who said Mrs Miller was right to resign but expressed frustration that MPs elected in 2010 were being tarred with the same brush despite the expenses rules being tightened.
2. Rarely out of the political spotlight, the definitely not shy or retiring UKIP leader Nigel Farage had another week in the headlines. A poll suggested that if he chose to stand at the general election in Folkestone and Hythe against Conservative incumbent Damian Collins, he would run him close but may not win. Bring it on, said Mr Collins. Mr Farage dropped an even heavier hint that he was eyeing up a Kent seat in 2015 but declined to say which one. Our bet? It will be Thanet South.
3. There may have been a spectacular increase in people cycling but Kent's track record on encouraging more people to use two wheels rather than four was under the spotlight. Census figures suggested fewer people were cycling to work than ten years ago - compared with more forward-looking places like Brighton and London. The Green county councillor Martin Whybrow denounced the county council for its track record, altlhough given that the Conservative leader of KCC is an enthusiastic rally car driver, maybe he shouldn't have been that surprised.
4. An unfortunate piece of timing left some people wondering whether David Cameron was "running frit' after a scheduled and heavly trailed interview with Radio Kent was abruptly cancelled - supposedly so he could make a telephone call to a fellow unnamed Prime Minister. Was it coincidence that the interview was due to take place the day after Maria Miller quit? Who knows.
5. Uncertainty continues over the fate of Manston Airport as the final flight by KLM took off on Wednesday and the airline boss of the Dutch operator made clear the carrier would most definitely would not be coming back. There continue to be talks over a possible buyout and owner Ann Gloag has agreed to consider a rescue plan drafted by staff. A case of watch this space.

Share this post:
There are not many issues where David Cameron and Nigel Farage agree. But fracking is one: both believe that shale gas has the potential to drastically reduce energy prices in the UK and that benefit is one that trumps the enivronmental arguments made against it.
The UKIP leader was in characteristically forthright mood on a visit to Kent to rally his troops when asked about fracking, saying it was a "God-given" opportunity for the county and whatever hazards the process of extracting shale gas may have, they are no worse than other industries, such as coal.
Farage: fracking in Kent a God-give opportunity>>>
This UKIP/Conservative consensus over energy is revealing.
Both parties clearly feel the case for lower energy prices has more resonance for hard-pressed families and pensioners who may consider that the anti-fracking protest movement is a luxury they cannot afford.
Their stance also reflects the scepticism that both have over renewable energy sources, particularly wind energy and is a less-than-subtle acknowledgement that many communities fear the blight of wind turbines littering the landscape.
It is a calculated risk. Events in Balcombe suggest that local communities, presented with the prospect of even just exploratory drilling actually taking place on their doorstep, will find the lower energy bills argument rather less persuasive when contrasted with the disruption.
This means there is politically a lot at stake for both parties. Fracking itself won't determine the outcome of the next general election.
But on the back of Balcombe, it is easy to see how revolt in the shires once companies get the go-ahead for licences could swing votes away from both.
Will he, won't he? Nigel Farage is batting away questions about whether he intends to stand as a candidate at the next general election in Kent.
He says speculation will detract from his focus on the European elections next year.
My suspicion is he that he doesn't actually know or has a few seats in his mind but can't decide. The list may include a few Kent constituencies.
Had the long-standing Roger Gale opted to retire from Thanet North, he might have fancied his chances there.
While UKIP has taken votes away from Labour in recent elections, its support will probably hold up better at the general election, meaning seats like Dover and Thanet South are probably out of the question.
Which leaves Folkestone and Hythe as one possibility, but even here he would face an uphill battle.
Still, it does incorporate Dungeness, where he does like to fish for sea bass.

by Peter Cook
You can rely on governments to take something quite simple and turn it into a mass of complexities that no one understands. What is all this nonsense about gas?
Gas is gas – right? The gas that cooks your Sunday roast is pretty much the same as the gas that warms my living room.
It comprises the same molecules, comes out of the same hole in the ground, and travels through the same pipes for most of its journey.
So why should your gas cost more or less than that consumed by the people next door, even though, sometimes, you might be signed up to the same company.
This all started back in the Thatcher era. Before that the gas industry was nationalised and we all paid the same per therm – whatever a therm is.
Then came the holy grail of privatisation. The gas remained the same, but the people to whom we paid our bills changed. The whole set up was fragmented into a number of companies all vying for our custom.
When it comes to gas, or electricity and water come to that, you can't really compete on quality – gas is gas as I said.
There isn't a "Cosytherm" product that will warm your room more enticingly. Or a "Cookwell" gas, guaranteed to produce mouthwatering meals.
So all the gas companies can work on is price. The idea was competition would make them more cost effective, and so bring down the price.
But one company is pretty much as smart as the next, so before long the efficiency options are used up. Now what have they got?
The only thing is a tariff system which becomes so horrendously confusing that only they can understand it. And each company produces a different one, so that comparing like with like is an impossibility.
This makes customers vulnerable to high pressure sales staff who ring us up at inconvenient times, such as in the middle of a football match, to bamboozle us into believing they can offer gas at cheaper rates than the next lot.
Perhaps they can, perhaps they can't. Who would know? You would need to go on a training course to understand the system. And even if you did understand it, that would be irrelevant, because next month they are going to change it all again.
Politicians make it worse by saying we have a responsibility to shop around in order to bring down prices. If we did that for everything we'd never do anything else. Life's too short. Especially at my age.
They tell us what we – the consumer – want is choice. Rubbish. What we want is an efficient service at the lowest possible price.
I can't believe the employment of a massive sales force brings down the price of gas. Nor do advertising campaigns and all the deceitful connivance of marketing.
So I hope Mr Cameron sticks to his guns and really does insist that energy companies are compelled by law to offer their lowest tariff.
If he does, of course, it will destroy the tariff system. Who's going to opt for anything but the lowest? And they'll have to offer the same or go out of business.
So if he does what he says we'll all be better off. But don't hold your breath.

Politicians face a conundrum whenever they talk about welfare reform. On the one hand, it can pay to talk tough and vow to cut spending; on the other, they risk being seen as uncaring about those in genuine need at the bottom of the ladder.
David Cameron tried to strike a careful balance when he came to Kent for a set-piece speech on his thoughts about welfare reform - conscious that early trails of his speech had already characterised it as being the end of 'compassionate Conservatism.'
He made clear his thoughts were not yet policies and he wanted "a big debate" about the issue - a tactic beloved of politicians when they are floating contentious ideas.
But he will have calculated that when it comes to benefits, most polls indicate that the public do generally feel too much money is spent on welfare and the bill needs to be cut.
The difficulty with welfare reform is that it can be very tricky deciding what the cut off point should be - there are enormous variations in people's circumstances and reasons for being reliant on benefits.
It may be unpalatable that young adults can claim housing benefits without, as it is claimed, putting in to the system. But sending them scurrying back home to take up residence with their parents might not go down well in some quarters.
The difficulty is deciding what the cut off points should be and avoiding the law of unintended consequences - as has happened with the housing benefit limits that have been introduced.
But it cannot, as Cameron said, be right that in the UK, one in six children are from workless households. That is not evidence of a welfare system working properly.
KCC has a role to play safeguarding the county's heritage and its important historical assets but even so, it is a surprise to find they are together worth close to £6m. Even more surprising is the collection of art it possesses, worth £2.3m.
It is hard to conceive that all this art has close connections with or origins in Kent. Perhaps it's time to call the auctioneers - or the TV producers of 'Cash In The Attic'.

THERE will be considerable dismay in some quarters that the Prime Minister appears to have agreed that the idea of an airport in the Thames Estuary should be fully investigated.
Government to consult on Boris Island airport scheme>>>
But there ought not to be surprise - even if opponents will throw back at him his declaration more than a year ago that the government had 'no plans' to build such an airport. A similar commitment was given to the Rochester and Strood MP Mark Reckless by new transport secretary Justine Greening in precisely the same terms.
But it was George Osborne who paved the way for the idea of examining the scheme in November when he announced the government would 'explore all the options' for tackling the problems around aviation capacity.
Even so, today's news will be seen as a U-turn and a politically awkward one given the deep hostility among his own MPs in Kent.
It is worth pointing out that there has never been any likelihood the government itself would 'build' an airport - that would be for private investment consortiums.
Some will see it as a shot in the arm for Boris Johnson's campaign to be re-elected as London Mayor although I've never been persuaded that aviation capacity is something that preoccupies London voters as much as issues like tube fares or crime.
Politically, Mr Cameron will have to confront the fact that among the county's Conservative MPs, there is universal opposition. The Conservative controlled Medway Council remains wholly unconvinced - although there have been recent hints that Kent County Council may not be quite as implacably opposed as it once might have been.
He may also be seen as having performed an about-turn and of betraying those who took him at his word that the government was not interested in the idea. Never an ideal position for a PM or for backbenchers who, in some cases, have marginal seats to defend in 2015.
What has changed? Underlying the news appears to be the feeling that aside from addressing the problem of capacity, a new airport would deliver a huge jobs boost and regenerate a part of the south east in a way no other project could conceivably get close to.
Perhaps it is no coincidence the news has come out on the day that unemployment figures have shown another rise in both Kent and Medway.
Those arguments will inevitably have to be balanced against the fact that an airport would have huge environmental consequences.
One thing is clear from today's news. Whatever one thinks of the idea, it can no longer be dismissed as 'pie in the sky.'

Have you ever tried to persuade your Christmas dinner to come down from a tree? It's not easy, I can tell you. But more of that later.
Alan Watkins' splendid Codgers' Club piece last month about growing up as a kid and the complete absence of the health and safety police struck a chord with me.
Strange, isn't it, that as Codgerdom arrives, it's easier to remember events more than half a century ago than to recall what happened last Wednesday.
Having fun required a great deal of creativity when you were growing up, as I did, in the early to mid-Fifties. Britain was a drab place then, still in the grip of post-war austerity.
Hard to believe now, but many people were still wearing the suits and coats they had worn during the war years. Of course, I didn't know that then, aged only 10 or so, but later I realised that domestic life in Britain had barely changed at all between 1939 and 1955.
We lived in what could be described, in estate agent's parlance, as a semi-rural location. Our small, old-fashioned bungalow had a large, rambling garden, about the size of half a football pitch.
My dad worked, just like everyone else, but we also had a smallholding. My parents kept chickens, rabbits and half a dozen geese in that large garden. It was wise not to upset the geese. They would advance, like a line of infantry, necks extended and hissing furiously. They were scary.
To the left at the bottom of our garden was a cornfield, swarming with rabbits. My father owned a shotgun and occasionally he would bag a couple for Sunday lunch. I had an air rifle but never managed to shoot anything. To the right was a meadow, with a grassy path leading down to a couple of unmade roads.
Like Codger Watkins, we made our own fun. Bike rides, daring each other to run through a field with a bull in it and endless fun with fireworks in the run-up to Bonfire Night.
Penny bangers which exploded with a thunderous crack and jumping jacks which would leap about unpredictably were affordable even on limited pocket money. Oh, and I'd also better mention the catapult I made to fire at old tin cans, using stones picked up from the beach as ammunition.
We had a huge poplar in our garden and I built a crude tree house in one of the massive forks in the branches. It was a 20ft climb to reach the platform. I never once put a foot wrong. We walked to school and back, on our own. There were no parental obsessions about paedophiles lurking round every corner.
It was a different, safer era, not least because there were far fewer cars on the roads. The real dangers for today's kids are nearly always created by someone other than themselves.
At this point, I know that this Codger's contribution is beginning to sound like an episode of the Darling Buds of May. It wasn't idyllic as in the fictional world of Ma and Pa Larkin, but it was a pleasure growing up where there were more fields than houses.
Like all good things, it eventually had to come to an end. We grew up and our parents moved to a more urban location. Today, all the fields around our old bungalow are now housing estates and even our large garden has three or four houses on it.
But back to that Christmas dinner in the tree. One year, my parents bought a young turkey in Maidstone Market – not a frozen one but a turkey very much alive and kicking.
It used to run around with the chickens. It was one of my jobs to feed it and it grew rapidly. Every evening, as dusk approached, it would fly up into a tree and refuse to come down, despite my best efforts to persuade it to rejoin the chickens by doing a passable impression of a turkey calling to its mate.
There were no credit cards then and if your parents didn't have the money, it didn't get bought. There were no supermarkets either, shelves bursting with festive goodies – just butcher's shops, greengrocers, corner stores and the occasional toy shop.
Britain today is a land of plenty compared to those grey days of the Fifties. The range of festive food, toys, and Christmas decorations now available and affordable to some degree by virtually everyone would have seemed like a fairytale paradise to a kid growing up in the Fifties.
This Christmas, however much you might moan about your stretched family finances, however hard-up you claim to be, I can guarantee that your home will be stuffed with more festive treats than any average youngster in the Fifties could ever have imagined.
It was in 1957 that the then Prime Minister Harold Macmillan famously, or perhaps infamously, remarked: "You've never had it so good."
For most families then, that was sheer nonsense. More recently, Lord Young, David Cameron's adviser, was sacked for using almost identical words. But in my view, Lord Young got it right.
Today, most families have a far better standard of living than could ever have been dreamed of 50 years ago, despite the problems caused by recession.
That said, did we enjoy ourselves just as much on Christmas Day 1957, when the food and the presents were far less lavish, when life was far less complicated, and the festive fun simple?
The answer to that is a resounding "yes".

Grab the New Jerusalem (I gather that's this week's in-phrase for the World Wide Web). Seize the communications powers..... I did (puff). I have (puff). I will – if only I can keep up with developments.
These days my legs don't move as quickly as they used to. Did you know we Codgers now blog and tweet? Now in my younger day tweets were certainly an insult, and might have been grounds for selecting weapons at dawn in Gillingham Park.
Having blagged for most of our lives, we are having to get used to calling ourselves bloggers. Back in the early Eighties I was one of the first to have a computer attached to the internet.It allowed me to send quick letters to customers and clients. It was a strange device, however, big, grey, extremely hot and noisy.
It needed lots of words set inside funny brackets that might have escaped from a British Railways misguided notice board.
Now, as it happens, I have been blogging for a little time, picking up various tales from Gun Wharf and relaying them to the wider world for Medway Messenger's on-line readers.
Incidentally, I thought playing on line was dangerous: my old gramp told me you should never play on railways, then took me to a loco shed to look at the brutes on which he worked. I also Google (but the doctor says it is all right providing I keep it under control).
In the past few years new words have appeared, and old ones have been corrupted (something that apparently happens occasionally to hard drives).
There are things I draw the line at undertaking. I refuse to socially network on something called Facebook (whatever it is). I even have a tag (which, for Mr Cook's benefit, we used to call a handle).
I have a digital camera. It has a piece of plastic the size of an undernourished thumbnail. Somehow it holds 16,000 pictures, and thanks to an army of pixies (I think that's what they call themselves) can be uploaded to a computer in a matter of nanoseconds.
You can let loose a Paintshop professional who lives inside your computer. He can turn them green, add faces, words and nu merous other things to distort your original image.You can write a document using a similar number of fonts in different sizes.As for vocabulary, heaven help my 20-month-old granddaughter. She already knows how to choose TV channels, call grandma on her parents' mobile phones (another device that deserves kicking into touch) and change the music on the multiplayer at home.
What will she have to confront when she is a Codger herself? It is time for Codgerdom to demand: Bring back the quill!
At least David Cameron should be delighted at the savings that will achieve for the British economy.

I'm always suspicious of anyone in a senior public role called Dave.
The name is used in a pejorative sense about the Prime Minister - "Dave" Cameron - but it does not sit easily on the shoulders of a PM. Then there is Dave Prentis, the trade union leader - but that sounds more appropriate.
So when David Hartnett, permanent secretary to HM Revenue and Customs, is introduced as Dave, somehow his stature is diminished.
Should we trust this Dave? Like many tax officials, he comes over as arrogant and his initial failure to apologise for a catastrophic computer error affecting six million people, was contemptible.
No wonder his political masters got him to change his stance and issue a belated apology. But because it was only made after this pressure, the slice of humble pie was distinctly lukewarm.
Dave should have been savvy enough to realise that apologies are the stuff of politics these days. Everyone does it. So he was out of step and out of order.
The most fatuous advertising strapline is - sorry Moira - is "tax isn't taxing." That's a falsehood for it is a huge headache for millions. We have one of the most complex tax systems in the world, and the claim should be reported to the Advertising Standards Authority.
It's a shame that HM Customs and Excise had to merge with the Revenue. They had a reputation for being slightly more human than income tax collectors. The whole department is now too unwieldy and prone to error.
Dave needs to be taught some social skills if his attitude is to come into line with the friendly tone of his department's advertising. The debacle has brought stress to millions and it is time he recognised it as much more than routine "reconciliation."
Perhaps we would have more respect if he restored the name he presumably was given at birth.

Before there even was an iPad or iPhone, there was Lemur. The touch-based controller device was theoretically the first-ever consumer multi-touch hardware. Early adopters connected the pricey smart display via Ethernet to a computer, and wowed friends with flying faders and bouncing balls and new ways of doing everything from manipulating spatial audio to playing instruments.
Then, the iPad arrived, and Lemur had a new life as an iOS-only app. For many of us, it's alone reason enough to own an Apple tablet.
But Apple tablets are pricey. Android tablets are cheap. And Android tablets are increasingly available in more sizes. So, maybe you want to run Lemur on Android. Maybe it's your only tablet. Or maybe you're just worried that now your live performance set depends on an iPad mini, and if it dies, you're out hundreds more – so Android is an appealing backup.
Well, now, Lemur has come to Android. It wasn't easy; it required lots of additional testing because of the variety of devices out there and weird peculiarities of making Android development work properly. (Disclosure: I was one of Lemur's testers, and was gratified when it suddenly started working on my Nexus 7, which is a fairly excellent low-cost device.)
But now it's here. And it's fantastic. Nick from Liine came to our monthly mobile music app meetup in Berlin and showed us just how easy it is to code your own custom objects using the canvas – more on that soon. But combine that with a stable app for hosting your own creations, and Lemur is simply indispensable. It's US$24.99 on the Google Play store.
Oh, and one more thing: wires. Continue reading »

Video Shows Man Pull Gun In N.C. Road Rage Fight
NEWPORT, N.C. (AP) — Carteret County deputies re looking for a man who fired several shots into a pickup truck after he was beaten in a road rage incident.
Investigators released video of the fight that happened around 1 p.m. Sunday just off U.S. 70 in Newport.
The video shows a man getting out of an SUV and asking the driver of a pickup truck why he ran him off the road. The pickup driver and his passenger began beating up the SUV driver, throwing him to the ground.
A woman then calmly walks out of the SUV and gives the man a pistol. He points it at the men who beat them up, who hurry into the pickup and drive away as the man fires several shots.
Deputies say no one was hurt.

[B]I got this in a E-Mail today. It doesn't surprise me in the least and if this is true we are in a heap of trouble!
John McAfee, founder of anti-virus company McAfee, Inc, on the ObamaCare exchanges:
On Fox Business Networks Cavuto on Wednesday, computer programmer and founder of McAfee, Inc. John McAfee said the online component of Obamacare is a hackers dream that will cause the loss of income for the millions of Americans who are going to lose their identities. For starters, McAfee said the way it is set up makes it possible for fake websites be set up to fool people to think theyre signing up for Obamacare.
Its seriously bad, McAfee said. Somebody made a grave error, not in designing the program but in simply implementing the web aspect of it. I mean, for example, anybody can put up a web page and claim to be a broker for this system. There is no central place where I can go and say, OK, here are all the legitimate brokers, the examiners for all of the states and pick and choose one. Instead, any hacker can put a website up, make it look extremely competitive, and because of the nature of the system and this is health care, after all they can ask you the most intimate questions, and youre freely going to answer them, he continued. Whats my Social Security number? My birth date? What are my health issues?
According to McAfee, theres not a quick fix and as long as it set up this way, it could be a playground for computer hackers. Heres the problem: Its not something software can solve, McAfee continued. I mean, what idiot put this system out there and did not create a central depository? There should be one website, run by the government, you go to that website and then you can click on all of the agencies. This is insane. So, I will predict that the loss of income for the millions of Americans who are going to lose their identities I mean, you can imagine some retired lady in Utah, who has $75,000 dollars in the bank, saving her whole life, having it wiped out in one day because she signed up for Obamacare. And believe me, this is going to happen millions of times. This is a hackers dream. I mean I cannot believe that they did this.
So, instead of redistributing wealth from the middle class to welfare deadbeats, ObamaCare will redistribute that wealth to Internet thieves. Can you visualize the mob of fleeced ObamaCare customers forming from coast to coast? Now might be a good time to invest in tar, torches, feathers, and pitchforks to sell to the mad as hell people on the march who won't take it anymore.
Hope & Change, baby,

Year end : Favorite music of 2013
Yeah, everyone has a best of list. But, we know everyone has different tastes. My friend Dan has his Top 100 Albums list, and hardly any of ours match up. But he knows a whole lot more about music than I do. So this is just my favorites of the year. I'm sure they aren't the "best". But they'll definitely continue on my play lists in 2014! I hope everyone had a great 2013 & an even better 2014!!!
