Robert Vansittart (judge)
Robert Vansittart (December 28, 1728 – January 31, 1789) was an English jurist, antiquarian and rake.[1]
Elder brother of Henry Vansittart, who was to go on to become Governor of Bengal, he grew up in Shottesbrooke in Berkshire and was educated at Winchester College and Trinity College, Oxford, becoming a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford in 1748. In 1753, he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple. He held a number of minor judicial appointments, including that of recorder of Maidenhead in 1758 and Newbury in 1764, before being appointed Regius Professor of civil law at Oxford in 1767, a chair he held until his death. He published a number of antiquarian works in his spare time.[1]
He was a close acquaintance of Samuel Johnson, William Hogarth and Paul Whitehead and a participant in the debauchery of the Hellfire Club.[1]
He died, unmarried, in Oxford.[1]
A character in one of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's comedies is named for him following a meeting in Italy.[1]

A first-ever visit from Wake Forest and a home game against 2008 national runner-up Memphis highlight the 2008-09 East Carolina men's basketball schedule released by University officials Tuesday. The Pirates' 29-game schedule includes 16 home games with a total of nine games against teams that participated in postseason play in 2008.
The Pirates, led by second-year head coach Mack McCarthy, will play four teams that played in the NCAA Tournament, two in the NIT and three in the newly-founded College Basketball Invitational (CBI). ECU will face three of those opponents in the first six games.
"This schedule is going to be a tremendous challenge and opportunity for our young basketball team," said McCarthy. "For our fans, we again have an attractive home schedule with 16 games, and each of our non-conference road games is drivable. The rigorous non-conference schedule will prepare us for the difficult Conference USA slate."
ECU will open the season with five straight home games beginning against Coker on Nov. 14 followed by a visit from St. Andrews on Nov. 16. The Pirates will renew their rivalry with Campbell, which dates back to 1932, on Nov. 19 before hosting a pair of former Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) rivals in George Mason (Nov. 22) and Virginia Commonwealth (Nov. 25). GMU claimed the 2008 CAA Tournament title, while VCU captured the regular season championship. The Pirates' game against VCU will mark the first meeting between Coach McCarthy and the team he coached from 2000-2003 and the first between the two schools since 2001.
Following road trips to 2008 Big South Champion Winthrop (Nov. 29) and UNC Wilmington (Dec. 3), the Pirates return home to face Limestone (Dec. 6) and UNC Greensboro (Dec. 13) before playing three of their next four games against Atlantic Coast Conference foes.
ECU travels to Raleigh on Dec. 17 to face NC State at the RBC Center for the fifth time since 2002. The Pirates then return home to welcome Wake Forest to Greenville for the first time on Dec. 22 before breaking for the Christmas holidays. Upon its return, ECU will head to Myrtle Beach. S.C. to face Coastal Carolina (Dec. 28) before ringing in the New Year at Clemson (Jan. 3).
With their 13-game non-conference schedule complete, the Pirates will open Conference USA play at home against Tulane on Jan. 7, their first of two games against the Green Wave. East Carolina will also play Marshall, Rice, Southern Miss and UCF in a home-and-home series as part of its 16-game C-USA slate.
The Pirates only have three home games in January, the final of which comes on Jan. 28 against national runner-up Memphis. The game against Memphis is sandwiched between a trio of games in Texas. In a 10-day span the Pirates have three games in the Lone Star state against Houston (Jan. 21), SMU (Jan. 24) and Rice (Jan. 31).
February has the Pirates hosting four its five home-and-home series opponents as well as 2008 NIT participant UAB in the final home game of the year on Feb. 28. ECU will also visit CBI Champion Tulsa on Feb. 21.
The 2009 Conference USA Tournament will be held March 11-14 at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn. This will be the fifth consecutive season that the conference tournament has been held in the city.

Late strip
Sorry for posting today's comic so late! I was working out a new comic making technique that might save some time in the future. I hope you like the results!
Sorry for posting today's comic so late! I was working out a new comic making technique that might save some time in the future. I hope you like the results!
Should you ever find yourself in NYC on a Wednesday night and would like to be entertained on the cheap, you should come out to MEGAWATT at the Magnet Theater, and see me perform with my improv team, ZEPPELIN. (Did you know I do improv? I do.)
"High-Powered improv from Magnet's own Super Groups. Our resident ensembles gather to dazzle audiences with various forms of improv comedy. The forms are constantly evolving, and no two shows are the same. Come see what your favorites are up to this week."
It's $7 for an hour, OR for the whole night if you want to stay! The teams are always rotating, so check the schedule to see when ZEPPELIN is up.
PS: My talented and charming wife, Carly is on DAWSON, and they're hilarious too
Ryan North, Anthony Clark and I have teamed up to make a new webcomic based on the classic arcade game, Dig Dug! Ryan and I wrote it, and Anthony and I are doing the arts! You can read an interview about it on Comics Alliance, or just go read the comic! (We make Galaga too, if you want some o' dat.)
Merry Christmas, everybody who is a person who celebrates that! And a joyous Winter Solstice to the rest of you. Just to let you know, we won't be updating on Christmas or New Years day.
The fourth and final issue of Longshot Saves the Marvel Universe came out last week! It is the issue where he actually does the universe saving (BUT AT WHAT COST DUN DUN DUN) If you've been holding off for the trade, that'll be out soon and I'll let you know!
PS: You know that other comic I draw? Galaga? The good people of i09 and Comics Alliance both named it one of the best comics of the year. AW YISS

Town Square
Stop light at Alma Plaza
Original post made by svatoid, Charleston Gardens, on Jan 9, 2012
Comments (3)
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jan 9, 2012 at 9:25 am
I agree that the new Alma Plaza will require some traffic reconfiguration but I don't think just putting in another stop light is a good idea for many reasons.
A much better idea would be to make the Meadow/Alma intersection a "super intersection" with one light configuration to prevent traffic getting stuck twice or large amounts of traffic getting between the lights and preventing other traffic from moving when they have a green light.
This should have been done at Town and Country with a six way light configuration at the intersection of ECR and Embarcadero with T&C and Paly both moving their exits to the corners to enable a six way configuration super intersection.
I am glad to see that the Mitchell Park light will no longer be one of these two separate light configurations, which only caused confusion and frustration although on a much smaller level.
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Jan 9, 2012 at 10:05 am
I'm glad you mentioned about the Embarcadero/T & Country area traffic signals -- they are dreadful. I am not opposed to traffic signals in general - let's hope they actually think about in advance about this one and observe what happens with it. Embarcadero is even more of a pain in the neck than it was previously - some change is needed.

People who tell the truth and usually get punished for it.
All roads privatised proposal
Of course this means that:
1) The roads will be sold off cheaply to the puppet masters corporations.
2) Roads will not be maintained.
3) No new roads will be built.
4) Your right to travel freely will be gone.
5) The road tolling system will be a means of universal surveillance
Of course roads can be built without a government, but why do that when you can get the public to pay for it, and then buy at cents in the dollar from the government you installed into office. Then of course ransom the general public for using the roads they paid for, that y0u just stole off them.
Queensland cop caught stealing on video on duty
Of course the cop was never charged for the offense of stealing $1000 from an old woman while raiding her house for allegedly selling cannabis.
Shane Allan Stirling, reputation ruined.
Larken Rose the plantation
Plainly explaining that its not freedom just because someone calls it freedom, it has to have the properties of freedom.
It harks back to Stefan Molyneux's explanation 'the world is a farm' and 'to know the farm is to leave the farm'.
Climate what?
Caution actual science content, may cause cognitive dissonance!
Huge number of ill informed people have been very excited about planetary temperatures recently. It's surprising they care about something so much without knowing the basic facts about it.
So today's temperatures is nothing remarkable, considering the last few thousand years there have been 5 significant warmer periods. There is even poetry from the medieval period lamenting about crop failure from climate cooling. They used to grow lots of grapes in England when it was warm there, so many streets are called 'vine street' no grape vines have grown there for hundreds of years. Look at the warming between 1600 and 1850, a long time before the large scale burning of oil, so clearly that wasn't the cause. Since 1998 the world appears to have been cooling. If this doesn't make sense, maybe you theory is wrong.
Those dinosaurs, gee its been getting colder since they died out, yeah for the last 60- 100 million years or so. In the 1970's scientist were very concerned with a coming ice age, you can see why they might have been worried about future cooling if you consider this chart.
So there you have it, believe in a world a few thousand years old or billions of years old,
sudden heating caused by people is not likely nor realistic.
Australia implements 'Steve's law'
Following pressure from a fringe religious group called 'the servants of Steve' , the Australian government has buckled to pressure from the group because of it's control of Australia's electrical distribution system.
Steve's Law is a comprehensive legal system which in many ways conflicts with the constitution and many federal and state laws.
Death penalty:
• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand (above).
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Book of Steve is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Steve is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Steve, the moon god of Steve is punishable by death.
• Meat to be eaten must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Steve – i.e., be Steve approved.
*All food must be Steve approved no matter who might eat it and Steve certification fees are collected by servants of Steve.
Perjury and dishonesty
• Servants of Steve should engage in being deceptive and lie to non-servants of Steve to advance Steve.
Marriage and family law.
• A servant of Steve who becomes a non- servant of Steve is punishable by death.
• A non-Servant of Steve who leads a servant of Steve away from Steve is punishable by death.
• A non-Servant of Steve man who marries a servant of Steve woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
Women basically have no rights:
• Girls' clitoris should be cut (per Steve's words in Book 41, Steve's awesome book, Steve's addendum 5251).
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Steve can have more.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• A woman's testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to chaos.
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
Does it all sound too crazy?
If you replace electrical distribution system with petroleum supply, 'servant of Steve' with Muslim, and Steve with Islam/Allah it's all actually correct.
Now how do you feel about Shari'a law and the demands for its creeping imposition.
Indigenous PUP Senator Jacqui Lambie rejects Sharia Law And the Burqa, MSM Bullshit piles up
Today the mainstream media, including channel 9 is all over Senator Lambie's criticism of Sharia Law, calling for her to apologize. In trying to express her views on Sharia law in a recent interview Senator Lambie failed to explain clearly what Sharia Law actually is, but correctly stated that all Australians have an obligation to honour the constitution. This made her easy fodder for the MSM, who accused her of spreading hate, but stopped short of calling her a racist (probably because of her Aboriginal heritage).
The mainstream media keeps calling Sharia a valid legal system, yet also states that Sharia is part of the religion of Islam. Last time I looked we have a separation of religion and state in this country. This means you are free to worship any imaginary friend of your chosing, but the LAW is supposed to be the same for all Australians. However, members of the Mainstream media have decided , yet again, that Islam is exempt from this rule, for no other reason that it is Islam, and Islam is exempt from criticism.
Also, we already have about 20 milliomn statute "laws" in Australia, so why not add a few more Islamic ones for flavour? It's all part of the colourful world of multiculturalism…
Are we talking aout fear, stupidity or a good old fashioned media coverup here ? Let's just pretend that nothing happened and let Muslims have their Sharia law, which includes, by the way, stoning for adultery and death for apostasy. The majority of "peaceful" Muslims support this "Law".
Here is a more comprehensive list of what it entails:
Sharia Law
Sharia law is the law of Islam. The Sharia (also spelled Shariah or Shari'a) law is cast from the actions and words of Muhammad, which are called "Sunnah," and the Quran, which he authored.
The Sharia law itself cannot be altered, but the interpretation of the Sharia law, called "figh," by imams is given some leeway.
As a legal system, the Sharia law covers a very wide range of topics. While other legal codes deal primarily with public behavior, Sharia law covers public behavior, private behavior and private beliefs. Of all legal systems in the world today, Islam's Sharia law is the most intrusive and strict, especially against women.
According to the Sharia law:
• Theft is punishable by amputation of the right hand (above).
• Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Muhammad is a prophet is punishable by death.
• Criticizing or denying Allah, the moon god of Islam is punishable by death.
• A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
• A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
• A man can marry an infant girl and consummate the marriage when she is 9 years old.
• Girls' clitoris should be cut (per Muhammad's words in Book 41, Kitab Al-Adab, Hadith 5251).
• A woman can have 1 husband, but a man can have up to 4 wives; Muhammad can have more.
• A man can unilaterally divorce his wife but a woman needs her husband's consent to divorce.
• A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
• Testimonies of four male witnesses are required to prove rape against a woman.
• A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
• A woman's testimony in court, allowed only in property cases, carries half the weight of a man's.
• A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
• A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
• A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
• Meat to be eaten must come from animals that have been sacrificed to Allah – i.e., be Halal.
• Muslims should engage in Taqiyya and lie to non-Muslims to advance Islam.
• The list goes on.
Where in the world is the Sharia law actually in use?
Muslims' aspired Sharia-ruled state is Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Muhammad. It has no legal code other than the Sharia, which is enforced without mercy (see Sharia law in Saudi Arabia). But the Sharia law is also used in full or in part, nationally or regionally in many countries, including some European countries.
NZ mass surveilance operational PM lied
Just a week from election in New Zealand It has been revealed that mass electronic surveillance has been occurring despite government denials.
While in Australian the debate has been about meta data, in New Zealand complete content has been spied on.
John Key New Zealand's current prime minister and former US federal reserve employee, made specific assurances that such spying was not occurring.
Will this hurt his election chances? Quite likely.

Pakistani pedophiles rape 1400 kids in 16 years: Rotherham UK
The more disturbing elements to this case are the following:
Authorities refused to act due to fears of being branded a racist, because perpetrators were Pakistani in origin.
Pedophiles were transporting children to be abused in a network style operation.
Fathers attempting to rescue their children were arrested by police.
Go on, go and join ISIS, so you get your guts splattered all over the desert.
New Jersey police caught on camera assaulting citizen
Over six months ago this story emerged but despite the whole' hands up don't shot' theme clearly displays here very little in the media frenzy. Police caught out by their own cameras. Its either the police are too stupid to remember this or the footage get 'lost' or redacted when its looking too bad for the cops.
Well this footage didn't get' lost', and ultimately exonerated the citizen, police clearly are in deep trouble now. Occasionally in the internal squabbles behind the scenes in the police/courts/lawyer matrix, someone has an axe to grind and they throw one of their own to the dogs.
Special reminder to police: video cameras are commonplace now days (built into most mobile phones) and people have a habit of filming controversial events and then uploading them for all to see. You can't win the court case if you lost the media war.
Video evidence is almost undeniable in court.
I wonder how long it will be before our local Victoria police are again caught on camera assaulting the public for no good reason.

Treasurer Joe Hockey has dismissed warnings from his former colleague Peter Costello that Australia's economic luck is "beginning to run out".

"I think Australia is on the threshold of its greatest ever era - but whatever prosperity we're going to have in the future we're going to have to earn," he said.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
A person's reputation precedes him. A bad reputation prejudices any chance of a successful encounter. Damaging a person's reputation is tantamount to booby-trapping human relations before they can blossom into happy relationships.
When one slanders or otherwise taints the reputation of another person, one causes damage not only to the slandered person but also to oneself and to the person listening to the slander. By uttering words of slander one renders all parties to the conversation accomplices to the crime. One also offends God in Whose image the slandered person is created.
If one denigrates the human being, one denigrates The Maker. God cannot bear to hear slander spoken about His people. If individuals use their freedom of choice to slander each other, God uses His freedom of choice to remove Himself from the scene. Regarding anyone who speaks lashon hara, God says, "I and the slanderer cannot dwell together in the world."
"What," asks the Talmud "is the meaning of the phrase "Life and death are in the hands of the tongue"? Does the tongue have hands? Rather, it is this metaphor that is used to convey the following message – just as hands can kill, so too can a tongue kill." Except that killing with one's tongue is worse than killing with one's hands because it is anonymous. The poisonous words are aimed at the victim's reputation but the killer can rarely be identified.
We are told that one of the punishments for slandering another is tzara'at, an ailment loosely translated as leprosy, which eats away at one's body. The Torah tells us "this will be the punishment of the metzorah." And what was the crime of the metzorah? He or she was motzi shem ra, a slanderer of another person. Perhaps the punishment of tzara'at fits the crime of lashon hara. The slanderer's very own person will be diminished in the same way the slanderer diminished the reputation of the slandered. In addition, one of the consequences of tzara'at was that for a period of time the person afflicted with it was shut off from the rest of the community and kept in isolation. Anybody who has been slandered knows the feeling.
If the consequences of slander are so dire and the temptation to engage in it so overpowering, what is the antidote? What should one do to overcome the temptation?
First of all, we should take advantage of the two natural slander barriers God has created us with – namely, our teeth and our lips that enclose and guard our tongues. We should contemplate the irrevocable havoc our tongues can wreak before letting our tongues loose.
The second antidote might sound trite but it is nevertheless true. We have been given something far more stimulating to talk about than other people. It is a subject that draws people together and allows them to live an interesting yet harmonious life. My father never allowed the name of another person to be mentioned at our table and yet we kids were never bored.
"What is the remedy for speakers of lashon hara?" asks the Talmud. "Ya'asok baTorah" – one should talk about Torah, because its ways are harmonious. Torah is the conversation of our Maker who made us all in His image. If we join in His conversation He will remain at our table and spread harmony among us. If we speak about each other, He will depart and leave us to destroy each other.
Lashon hara has always been a problem. During the days of the Temple many preventative and corrective measures were taken to combat lashon hara. These measures, though not applicable today, leave behind very powerful and practical messages.
First, we are told that each of the eight vestments worn by the high priest during the avodah, the Temple service, had the power to atone for certain sins. Lashon hara often disrobes people, strips them of their social status and exposes them. The me'il, the robe, which was made of turquoise wool, a color reminiscent of God's heavenly abode, covered the high priest from the head down, and atoned for the sin of lashon hara. Around the hem of the me'il were sewn thirty-six small bells which rang out as the high priest walked about performing the avodah, to drown out, as it were, the words of lashon hara and prevent them from expelling God from His Sanctum.
Second, we are told that the ketoret, the incense that was burned by the priest on the inner altar of the Temple, atoned for lashon hara. The ketoret was made up of ten sweet smelling ingredients and one foul-smelling ingredient known as chelbonah. Rabbi David Feinstein, in his commentary on Vayikra, explains the slander atoning power of the ketoret in the following way. Just as the ten sweet smelling ingredients of the ketoret were able to overcome the one foul smelling ingredient, so too should we strive to view people so that their good qualities outweigh the bad.

Question: My young daughter was recently diagnosed with autism. She does not function well socially and is extremely introverted, but we have noticed that she reacts very well to small animals. We reported this to her therapist who suggested that we get a dog or cat as a pet. We know that most religious people frown upon having pets, but we hate to see our daughter suffer and want to do anything that would make her happy. Would it be okay to own a pet in the circumstances we described?

If a man dies childless, the Torah commands the deceased's brother to marry his brother's widow in a ceremony known as yibum, or to perform a special form of divorce ceremony with her known as chalitzah.
What if, at the moment of the late brother's death, the surviving brother cannot effect yibum because the widow is a niddah?
The Torah lists twenty-one close relatives a man may not marry.
In the same way as a married woman is precluded from marrying another man without a get, so too is this widow prohibited from marrying another man without chalitzah.
Should we sit in the sukkah on a day that may be the eighth day when we are not commanded to sit in the sukkah at all?
We are told that after returning home from Ne'ilah and breaking our fast, the first activity we should engage in is building a sukkah.
In addition to Yom Kippur, there is at least one other instance when a person may fast on Shabbat – the case of a ta'anit chalom, in which a person wishes to fast to prevent an ominous dream from becoming reality.
We must eat, sleep, work, and care for our dependants. How much time is left over after all that?
