Re: Idiots, morons and dickheads!
Apparently not. Fairfax reports this:
Yes, but Fairfax is a big corporation that the laws of the land don't apply to. The ten-years-in-prison clause is only for the little guys like you and me. If one of us had published this bungle on our little Wordpress blogs, WE'D be looking at 10 years' chokey, but Fairfax and Murdoch's minions have effective carte blanche.
Always remember the Prime Directive of 21st century lawmaking: one law for us, and another for them.
'Cowardly, venomous trolls' threatened with TWO-YEAR sentences for menacing posts
Re: The determination!!
Hell, why not just go the whole hog and bring back the guillotine, the gallows and the garrotte. We even could bring back public burnings of the worst ones, just to set the example for others who dare to speak out of line! Or hanging, drawing and quartering for extra spectacle!
That reminds me, while our governments are busy using Orwell's political diatribes as instruction manuals, there's a scene in the Radford movie our parliamentary do-gooders might like. When Winston and Julia meet in Victory Square to arrange their first excursion, truckloads of prisoners are being brought in and tied up to stakes around the square. One guard goes along machine-gunning them in the legs and letting them hang there in agony for a few minutes until the next guard comes along popping caps in their skulls. I'm sure our modern Moral Guardians and Easily Offended Purveyors Of Political Correctness would revel in this kind of rally, cheering on the public executions of the outspoken and other doubleplusungood crimethinking ownlifers.

Martha Lane Fox: YEUCH! The Internet is MADE by MEN?!?
Re: Barking @Yet Another Anonymous Coward
The biggest problem with Australia's voting system is not just that it's mandatory, it also uses what are called "preferences". Now, remember you HAVE to vote, and if you don't want to vote for Labor or Liberal, you could vote for a minority party like the Greens, the Sex Party, the Pirate Party, Hemp Party, One Nation and so on. But all of those parties are forced to stipulate "preferences" to other parties.
What this means is that if the candidate (and their party) you voted for doesn't get voted in, that party's votes are forwarded to the "preferred" party of their choice. So, say you vote for the Greens, and they preference Labor, but they don't get in. Then your vote for the Greens gets counted as a vote for Labor, whether you wanted Labor in power or not. You can't choose for your vote not to count at all if your desired party doesn't get in. Ultimately, because Labor and Liberal between then have an absolute oligarchy in this country, everyone is forced, through this system of preferences, to vote for one or the other, regardless of what you actually want.
Even an informal vote (e.g. a blank ballot paper, or one with a penis drawn all over it, or simply turning up and signing your name off and not putting a ballot in at all) is counted as a vote for the incumbent party, so you can't escape voting that way either.
The upshot is, if you live in Australia, you either vote Liberal or Labor, regardless of how much you hate either - or both.

Re: ROTM @Voland's right hand
The ghastly things wake me up every morning at 5:30 am with their discussion of "news of the day" on their way out to farmer fields.
Be grateful you don't live in Australia. Rooks have voices like Maria Callas compared to the Australian Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo, a large and exceedingly early-rising flock of which have taken up residence in the roadside trees right outside my house. If you haven't heard the raucous, ear-shredding shrieks of these avian abominations you have never experienced true aural agony. Trust me, these damnable creatures constitute the world's most sadistic alarm clock.
If you're feeling particularly masochistic and want to experience for yourself a sample of what I get hauled out of my sweet dreams by every morning, then give this YouTube video a listen. If you can keep that video open for more than 30 seconds, you're either deaf or an ornithological saint!

10 Top Tips For PRs Considering Whether To Phone The Register
The record (that we're aware of) is over half an hour!
That's an achievement to be proud of, even more so given that you kept them holding that long with nothing but hold music.
I have a specially crafted MP3 file that I've carefully honed over the years to try and match, as closely as possible, the scripts these droids use when pitching something. I came up with it because I found that simply saying I'd get the person and leaving the phone on hold never kept them on the line for more than a minute or so, and I wanted some method for maximising their time wastage while minimising my own. So the MP3 I created goes something like this:
"Good day, [My company name], Steve speaking...[5 second pause]...Okay...[8 second pause]...Uh huh...[6 second pause]...Probably not, but if you could explain it to me I might be able to refer you to someone... etc, etc.
The MP3 file is about 30-odd minutes long. The longest I've been able to hold a telemarketer on the line with it before they realise they're talking to an answering machine and hang up, is 17 minutes 36 seconds. The average is around 8-10 minutes.
So respect to you being able to tie them up for half an hour with nothing but hold music. Well done!

Australia mandates* cloud use by government agencies
Well considering that cloud storage by its very nature is all three of those; namely insecure, expensive and can't do the job, I'd say our government agencies shouldn't be adopting this toxic technological trend any time soon.
Murdoch to Europe: Inflict MORE PAIN on Google, please
I would be quite happy
if Google simply stopped linking to his sites altogether. I'm sick of Googling some current event and finding half the first page links to articles hidden behind Murdoch's paywalls. Especially considering that if I set my user-agent string to simulate the googlebot I can often access the articles without restriction. This means he's showing one thing to the googlebot and another to regular browsers - which I was under the impression was a huge no-no in Google's books, guaranteed to get you ranked off their index. Not to mention the sheer ironic hypocrisy in his doing this, and then complaining about Google scanning his articles and reprinting them in their news searches!
So it'd be great if Google could just wake up to this and give his shit-sites the go-by and link me to actual news sites, instead of that evil bastard's pay-per-view propaganda rags.
Apple's ONE LESS THING: the iPod Classic disappears
"Whenever he's browsing his playlists for stuff for us to listen to there are gaps where music that he used to be able to stream is no longer available."
And here we have another reason why I abominate this emphasis on "cloud." This is the Ministry of Truth in all its ugly glory. When all movies and songs and books are stored in the cloud and "hoarding" (I see the pejoratives for those who prefer to keep their own data are already being circulated) is a thing of the past, how easy is it to simply delete undesirable parts of history, or to edit songs and movies to suit modern PC sensibilities? All you have to do is alter or remove one file from the cloud server, and it instantly affects everybody. Looks like Winston Smith and his ilk will soon be out of a job.
I give it 10 years before our government starts making it illegal to keep your own copies of media files and mandates exclusive use of the cloud for exactly this reason. Once that happens, our journey to Orwell's nightmare will be complete. What will the penalty for keeping a diary be then? 30 years in a joycamp?
Privacy law reboot needed says Oz Law Reform Commission
Re: Accessible?
I believe the solution to that would be for ALL persons appearing in court to have their legal counsel appointed by the court - no matter who, or how rich, you are. If your income is below a certain threshold, then you should be eligible for a subsidy from the government to cover the cost of legal counsel and court fees, which would be reclaimable from you in the event you are convicted in a criminal case. This would put a dead stop to rich people and corporations using highly-paid mouthpiece lawyers to sway and manipulate the judicial process. If all lawyers were appointed based on equivalent competence for both sides, a much fairer trial and more accessible justice would be assured.
But since the rich and powerful and their mouthpieces are the ones that own the government and run the legal system, the chances of seeing such a remedy are about on par with those of the Curiosity rover discovering Martian crested three-winged pigs.
Hot Celebrity? Stash of SELFIES where you're wearing sweet FA? Get 2FA. Now
I'm just... gobsmacked... that system designers aren't limiting login attempts by default without even thinking about it.
Way back in the early 80s, when banks first started introducing ATMs, it was made very clear that if you got your PIN wrong 3 times the machine keeps your card. And in high school in 1983 on the old BBC Micro network (remember the old *I AM NAME and *PASSLOOK anyone?) 3 failed login attempts locked your account and you had to go and see the teacher to reset it.
Ever since then, I've always designed systems to lock an account after 3 failed login attempts, believing this to be industry standard practice. That it clearly now is not is utterly unbelievable, not to mention stupendously irresponsible. I say that any systems engineer designing a system without a failed-login lockout condition should be charged with criminal negligence.
iCloud fiasco: 100 FAMOUS WOMEN exposed NUDE online
This is exactly the kind of scandal that is needed to wake people up to the hazards and dangers of relying on cloud storage.

As to all those who brush off their reliance on cloud with "I have nothing to hide, so nothing to fear" - you fucking well have plenty to fear now!
Top beak: UK privacy law may be reconsidered because of social media
Re: Televising courts
Another major problem in televising court cases is cherry-picking by the media. We all know the mainstream media have their own political agendas and biased reporting and selective coverage to present one side of the story is normal these days. So of course the MSM would leave out certain statements and replay others a dozen times, in the usual Trial By Media fashion.
If we allow this, then we have to add a stipulation that if a TV station wishes to broadcast a court case it must broadcast the ENTIRE hearing UNABRIDGED and UNEDITED. Otherwise we'll simply turn our justice system into a media-biased kangaroo court.

Turnbull to Big Content: Let your movies RUN FREE ... for a fair price
"Of course, that contrasts with other 'normal' products; you can, for instance take a car you already own and use it in a movie without having to pay any more money."
Actually, you can't. Product placement in movies, TV shows and video games is subject to agreement with the brand or trademark owner. Car designs represent an intellectual-property factor as well. This is why you see notices in movie credits like "Vehicles provided by Ford" or similar, and why every single car you see in a movie (even ones incidentally parked or driving in the background) are all from the same manufacturer. It's why, when you see a movie character drinking a can of Coke, you can bet that Coca-Cola has had some say in its inclusion.
Any display, or even mention, of any recognisable product or brand name in a movie, TV show or video game, constitutes commercial use of that trademark, and if done without the trademark owner's permission, can render you liable for infringement action. This is why, for example, Quentin Tarantino uses his own made-up brands in his movies, like Big Kahuna Burger or Red Apple cigarettes.
Because of this, it would be almost impossible to make a live-action movie set in any inhabited area without inadvertently including a trademarked product or brand and thus having to contact the relevant trademark owners. CGI or animation is about the only way you could guarantee to avoid this exposure.

Re: "...a well-educated populace..."
Upvoted by an Australian who agrees with you.
The fact of the people of this country willingly embracing the cloud wholesale, without any forethought or consideration of privacy, control of one's data, and the associated dangers, costs and consequences, show a distinct lack of education and a decidedly sheep-like follow-the-hype mentality indicative of your analysis.
Facebook: Want to stay in touch? Then it's Messenger or NOTHING
Re: can I has all your data?
" If they remove the messaging feature from m.facebook.com then I think they'll lose a few customers, but they won't be bothered by it as the numbers will just be a drop in the ocean."
They probably won't lose any customers, since the advertising agencies that comprise Facebook's customer base aren't adversely affected by this feature change. However, Facebook may lose a fair few of the products they're selling to their customers...
Famous 'Dish' radio telescope to be emptied in budget crisis: CSIRO
Re: True, but
"What I don't understand is whether or not SQA is intended to replace the older radio telescopes."
There's also the question of instrument availability. There's already a queue a mile long of astronomers and related scientists waiting for time on the big telescopes, and this would be bottlenecked by pushing them all onto one instrument. Also, the SQA may be overkill for some projects, for which the Parkes telescope could be ideal, and shorten the queue by moving those scientists whose projects don't need the massive power of the SQA onto the Parkes dish.
Pinterest diversity stats: Also pale and male (but not as much as Twitter)
@ NoneSuch
"Would someone please post the "proper" heterogeneous mix"
Oh, that's easy: The "proper" mix in the "perfect" (read: politically correct) company is one whose board is entirely devoid of white males, regardless of what the race and gender mix actually is. As long as there are no white males.
After all, I'd love to see the gender and race makeup of the boards of, say, Huawei or Samsung or Aramco. I'd wager they consist mostly of Chinese, Korean, or Saudi Arabian males respectively. But notice how we're not seeing demands for more "diversity" on these companies' boards? Notice how it's only companies whose boards do consist mainly of white males who are being targeted? Nobody's harassing Samsung or Huawei or Mitsubishi or Foxconn or Aramco about the diversity of their boards. That's because they don't have any white males on them, so they're already politically correct.
Of course, I'll probably be accused of being a racist sexist bigot for pointing this out, but those who do so won't actually offer any reasoned argument as to why they think my perception of this is wrong.
MARS NEEDS OCEANS to support life - and so do exoplanets
Re: I'd also add...
"..a working magnetic core but I guess a little factor like that got overlooked in all the excitement."
And I'd wager a large moon is probably essential to the formation of said magnetic core. Note that of the terrestrials only Earth is equipped with a large moon to roil its interior with tidal forces and thus set up the conditions for the formation of a magnetic field. These tidal forces also create the conditions necessary for vulcanism and plate tectonics, both of which in turn maintain the carbon cycle and are also essential for life.
Without any large moons, Venus and Mercury lack these forces, and thus also lack the vlucanism and tectonics, and the magnetic fields necessary to protect life from solar radiation and prevent ablation of liquid water via solar wind.
If this is the case, then it's likely life-bearing planets are much less common than we might think, since besides being in the Goldilocks zone a planet would additionally need to have formed a large moon in a stable orbit to create the conditions required for life. And I would hazard that the number of terrestrials with large moons is significantly less than terrestrials in stars' Goldilocks zones, with the probability of both occurring being minute indeed.

Ex-despot Noriega sues: How dare Call of Duty make me look like, like...
I thought this bullshit was covered
In movie and game credits towards the end there's a work-of-fiction disclaimer, usually something along the lines of:
"This is a work of fiction. All characters, places and events depicted in this motion picture are purely imaginary and no resemblance to actual events, places, or persons, living or dead, is intended or should be inferred."
or similar such wording. I have one on my own gallery to ensure people don't equate my pictures with anything in the real world. Do these disclaimers not carry any weight now? Do artists now have to make certain that their characters, places and events bear no resemblance whatsoever to anything or anyone in the real world? Because if this is passed, any form of creative expression other than the surreal or abstract is now dead, since it is not possible for any artist to vet their works against all 7+ billion people and the trillions of possible events in history to make sure there's no resemblance.
This shit needs to be stopped right now, otherwise we can forget any right of artistic expression.
Whoah! How many Google Play apps want to read your texts?
Re: Yup.. rubbish permissions handling in Android
"MS specifically state that the location given is anonimised, but I am not sure how that makes sense if the app knows who you are."
It makes perfect sense, when you consider that MS is simply saying "It's anonymised" as placatory buzzword blurb intended only to allay your privacy concerns and get you to buy the product - or BE the product, as the case may be.
"Anonymised" doesn't actually mean anything to these people, to them it's just another meaningless buzzword that they've figured out that consumers like to hear, along with expressions like "scientifically proven" and "as seen on TV."

Accused! Yahoo! exec! SUES! her! accuser!, says! sex! harassment! never! happened!
It's funny
that it's two women in a sexual harassment case. Who knows who's going to win this one?
If one of them was male - either the accuser or accused - it would be much more cut-and-dried: guilty by possession of a penis. But in this case the uncertainty is high enough that we could take bets on the outcome. Zhang or Shi? Boss or underling?
I'd probably put my money on Shi since allowing a defamation countersuit as a response to a sexual harassment claim would likely set an undesirable precedent in the eyes of the pro-feminist power base within the legal system.
VMware hiring exec to launch Australian hybrid cloud
In other words
VMWare have become aware of many Australian businesses' desire to avoid trusting their data to US hosted cloud servers, and seeks a way to sneak around this avoidance by "partnering" with Australian providers to create the impression that the data is hosted in Australia when there'll be a good chance it isn't.
Thanks but no thanks. I'll continue to run my own servers where I know exactly who has access to my data and where it's kept, thank you.

Brit celebs' homes VANISH from Google's Street View
Re: Right to be forgotten. Absolutely.
What if you have a common name, like mine? There are over 240 people called "Steven Roper" in Australia alone (I was part of a survey some years back), any and all of whom could come up in a Google search of the name. I was surprised to learn a while ago that there's even a well-known American comic-book character with my name (Intrepid reporter Steve Roper and his sidekick Chief Wahoo) which will quickly dominate any search for it.
Which I'm actually quite glad about, since it makes it very hard for anyone to positively identify any search result with me personally, and gives me a nice level of plausible deniability should anyone decide to go digging up some dirt!
But in regard to this business of de-indexing my name, how would I tell Google which results relate to me, which to the well known doctor in America with my name, and which to the even better-known comic strip character? Do I have to supply every URL that contains the information I want removed? And if so, wouldn't I then be giving Google a list of everything I specifically want to hide?
Seems to me to be better if you just keep your mouth shut and ignore any detrimental references to your name on the internet. It seems better to keep the plausible deniability than to demand some dirt's removal and inextricably link yourself to it in some watchlist somewhere...
Would it be BAD if the Amazon rainforest was all FARMS? Well it WAS, once
Re: Sahara etc
"Not sure about Australia."
Before European colonisation, much of Australia, except for the Nullarbor and inland deserts in the main body of the continent, was covered in eucalyptus forest, while the Murray-Darling Basin was mostly mallee. Mallee is a large bush or small tree, famed for its toughness and resilience, that in the wild forms an interlocked and impenetrable tangle of head-high scrub. Most of this was cleared for farmland during colonisation, although large swaths of it remain in places like the Sunset Country and Big Desert national parks.
Considering that mallee wood is as hard as steel and blunts axes and chainsaws with infuriating rapidity, clearing thousands of square miles of that shit was no mean feat!
Re: duck...!
We had two Muscovy ducks as pets when I was a kid back in the 70s. They were lovely as ducklings and we kids loved them. Then they grew up and covered the entire backyard in a 6-inch deep layer of duck shit, which Dad loved for the garden, until Mum slipped in it and hurt herself.
Whereupon the ducks were politely escorted off the premises and dumped in the Torrens to fend for themselves, since we kids refused outright to allow Dad to kill and cook them. A few months later, the Department of National Parks and Wildlife gassed all the feral ducks on the Torrens to allow the native species to return. So in the end they died anyway and we missed out on some roast duck for our sympathy!

"Frank Herbert's logorrhoeic idiot son"
Having read his extensions to the Dune saga recently, I have to agree with that assessment - in part. The three Butlerian Jihad books were pretty good, with just a few minor niggles (like the supernatural powers of the Sorceresses of Rossak.) Nor were the two post-Chapterhouse continuations too bad, although the final ending was a bit twee in a "happily ever after" kind of way. But the three House prequels set just before the events of Dune and the interquels were an atrocity. As far as I'm concerned, like the mythical Highlander II, they don't actually exist!
PANDA chomps through Spotify's DRM
Re: If you can read it, you can copy it. End of.
This is exactly why DRM is snake oil, and those who sell it are the real thieves, not so much to us, the end-consumers, but to all the music and media companies they keep on selling the same lie to over and over.
In cryptographic terms, DRM is flawed because in any DRM scenario, Bob and Mallory are the same person. That is, in the usual cryptographic cast of characters where Alice, the sender, sends a message to Bob, the intended recipient and Mallory, the attacker, trying to intercept the message, DRM is treating the intended recipient as the attacker. But since Bob has to have the decryption key in order to read the message, it follows that DRM, by definition, is giving the key to Mallory to decrypt the message, since the recipient is ipso facto the attacker.
This principle is why DRM is a scam, no matter how the snake-oil merchants try to dress it up. Were I in power, I would have every staff member and shareholder of every DRM company arrested and charged with fraud for this reason.

Keep NH death penalty: No good reasons to repeal it
Manchester police Officer Michael Briggs is one such reason. His murder at the hands of a cold-blooded killer remains fresh in the minds and hearts of his fellow law enforcement officers and of the citizens he was sworn to protect. Because of this, note the "except for Addison'' position of certain death penalty opponents, notably Gov. Maggie Hassan.
If that is so, isn't it particularly "cruel and unusual punishment'' for Michael Addision to spend years knowing that New Hampshire isn't going to put anyone to death, except him?
New Hampshire, which has had the death penalty on its books for as long as it has had those books, has rarely had occasion to use it. The last time was 75 years ago.

France were also not the strongest side, as all the internationals players above 30 were not included, and there were a lot of new players (Buttin, Dulin, Machenaud..) or young players with just a handful of selections (Fall, Lapandry). And first match for Michalak for France for ages.
Good experience for everybody here.

Argentina snatch victory from France with late try in Cordoba
Well done Arrgentina, for waiting for french mistakes. The French were awfull, and both teams were full of young guns (bald Argentinians boys as they played their first match as Internationals against Italy the week before).
I hope the second match sees a better french team.
As for the inclusion in the tri nation, remember Italy in the 6 Nations, they were loosing every game at the beginning, and are now better.
I guess the same will happen for Argentina.
And it will be great to see how the Big Three adapt to the passionate Argentinians on their home soil.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla.- There was a dramatic rescue off the coast of Bonita Beach Wednesday morning, as a Coast Guard swimmer pulled a man out of the Gulf. The good news is, it was all a drill ahead of one of the most dangerous weekends on the water.
Coast Guard auxiliary officers gave WINK News a close look as they brought a helicopter in for several rescue drills. It's all part of National Boat Safety Week, leading up to what is far too often a dangerous, even deadly, weekend on the water.
The scenario Wednesday was a victim in the Gulf, stranded and struggling to stay afloat. Coming to his aid were Coast Guard rescue swimmers who used a number of tactics to get him out, including this basket, called a litter, if he falls unconscious or suffers broken bones.
The display gives the public an idea of what rescue swimmers are up against. It was a nerveracking site for onlookers and that was the point.
The national boating fatality rate is at its peak. Florida averages 70 boat-related deaths every year. The biggest danger is alcohol.
Wednesday, sobering images will hopefully keep similar situations from becoming a real emergency. The Coast Guard will be stepping up patrols out on the water this weekend.
The Coast Guard reminds boaters that at least one properly sized life vest per person is required. They say 80 percent of boat-related deaths are people who drown due to not having a life vest.

Dovenby hospital memories form basis of new book
Last updated at 13:52, Friday, 30 November 2012
Former nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, voluntary workers and patients were reunited at the launch of a book about the former Dovenby Hall Hospital near Cockermouth.
Around 50 people were at the launch of Dovenby Days, which looks at the history of the hospital which was for people with learning disabilities.
The Whitehaven Hospital Research Group, a group of retired general nurses, started researching material for the book about three years ago with the help of former Dovenby nurses Joan Warwick and Edyth Stephenson,
The book features photographs taken at the hospital by staff and patients.
In its heyday the hospital, which was open from 1931 to 1996, had 400 residents and employed more than 400 members of staff.
Johnny Sealby, 89, of Challoner Street, Cockermouth, who was a physiotherapist there for 12 years, said: "I have very pleasant memories of working here.
"I remember when I first started, Dr Tom Ferguson took me onto the wards and one of the wards smelt rather like a latrine and that's not a criticism. He said to me 'if you can stand this for a fortnight then you're here for life' and I was. That was just the beginning.
"You might wonder why a physiotherapist was needed there but a lot of the patients had physical disabilities."
Mr Sealby, who trained at the Royal National Institute for the Blind in London, added: "I was sad when the hospital closed, as it was the wrong thing to do.
"It was a safe place for the residents and they weren't just stuck inside. They had regular exercise, would be taken out into the community and some would even go on holidays abroad."
Lilian Lister, 94, of Holmewood Residential Care Home in Cockermouth, was one of the first nurses to work at the hospital from 1939 to 1952.
Mrs Lister said: "We had some great times at Dovenby Hall and have so many memories. There are only about three of us left who were the first nurses there as the others have sadly passed away."
Maureen Fisher, group leader for the research group, said: "Anyone interested in local history knows that it's important to record reminiscences and information about our communities before that knowledge is lost and forgotten.
"We didn't do it to be judgemental about how people with learning disabilities were cared for in the past. The contributions tell the story, warts and all."
Also at the event, held at Dovenby Hall now the home of rally business M-Sport, were Mayor of Allerdale Carole Armstrong and her consort Glynnis Ackerley and businessman Malcolm Wilson, who owns the present Dovenby Hall site, and his mother Pearl Wilson.
The Times & Star Charitable Trust donated £500 towards the cost of the book.
The group has made 1,000 copies to be sold at The New Bookshop in Cockermouth and libraries in Workington, Seaton and Maryport.

Have your say
I trained at Dovenby Hall under the guidance of Joan Warwick and it was great to read this article on line as I am now a Senior Manager in the Health service. It brought back fond memories of days gone by and Mrs Warwick was an excellent mentor and leader of nurses

It ain't your peg Jez. It's just the peg you use from time to time! :) I was using it in the 70's when it was just a matchstick! Thanks for the memories. Tight lines.
Truly stunning photo. I wish I was back there again.
Thank you. There was so much light at the time I took the picture and I think Merrions Wood is Enchanted. I have visited there recently and it is full of Blue Bells.
Thank you, I try and visit here every time I am in the area.
This photo was taken by my ten year old son, like his dad, he has a good eye for beautiful scenery.
I captured this amazing picture whilst my dad was waiting for that 'screaming run' every carp fisherman waits for. In the trade, I class that as good luck .
Amazing we have Scots in our family from the Walsall area. Just to think who ever owned the land could be related to us.
That's so nice, memories
I went there
Okay, I will see what I can do. I have on my list the churches at Coughton and Studley. I can get some shots the next time that I travelling up the A 435 on a sunny day. I will certainly look out for the Scott family vault and try to get something representative.
All best, Graham

When I was 18 I had casual sex and now years later I have been known to have casual sex with 18-year-olds, so I guess I have covered all the possible bases of what Casual Teen Sex can be. Sunrise, sunset, the circle is truly complete.
CasualTeenSex, the site, looks to only be concerned with one of those things - the one in which coeds get it on with dudes close to their own age. These Eastern European amateur performers look to have many good years of fucking ahead of them.
The site is easy to navigate, but they have annoyingly chosen to fill every page with ads for other sites. This busies up the pages too much and leads to sometimes clicking on an ad because you thought it might be actual content. Still, it isn't too bad and you can save your favorites, rate the content and leave comments.
Speaking of the content, there are 202 videos and many come in HD. You can stream them in an embedded player as well as download them as MP4s and 3GPs. You can download 183 sets of high-res photos in Zip files.
The scenes I watched all played out with the dude chatting up some chick in the subway station, at a house party or on the street and picking her up and getting her back to his place. Since they are speaking Russian I can't tell you what he says to do it.
Once back at his place, the amateur acting (looking at the camera and the director) and production continues as they strip down and fuck. The camerawork is pretty good, but it is also amateur, so there is some shaking and camera clicking at times. The sex is standard and captures all the licking, sucking, fucking and cumming one expects.
I can confirm that they are adding a new video once a week. Between updates, you can keep yourself busy with the extras. There are 20 bonus sites to explore, including My Dirty GF and 18 Pussy Club. There are also a bunch of video feeds for you to check out, but know that you don't get access to all of them all at once. More and more of them become available to you over time.
Casual Teen Sex is a good site and that's worth your time and money. Give it a look if you're interested in seeing cute teen babes suck dick and fuck.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Score without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I signed up for one day trial. no indication of limitations of trial. Whatever I tried to download it wouldn't. It wanted to force me to upgrade to a full membership whatever movie I clicked on also it tried to trick me into buying a subscription to Mofos if I wasn't careful enough not to click on the Mofo model that appeared on the CasualTeenSex site. I really don't have sympathy for these companies anymore. I try to always buy my adult content in fairness, but I am constantly confronted with deplorable business practices like the ones I have described above. The companies must learn that they will suffer loss of business if they chose to pursue highly misleading and devious business practices

Ferguson slowly starting to make comeback
The unmistakable signs of healing are beginning to dot Ferguson, even the small area of this St. Louis-area suburb that was the center of attention for three weeks. But those in the community know they've got a long way to go.
Associated Press
The unmistakable signs of healing are beginning to dot Ferguson, even the small area of this St. Louis-area suburb that was the center of attention for three weeks. But those in the community know they've got a long way to go.
Some merchants say business hasn't come close to recovering from the aftermath of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black and unarmed, by a white Ferguson police officer.
Businesses along a stretch of West Florissant Avenue that were victimized by looting are replacing boarded-up windows, with signs out front reading, "Open For Business." People who have been too scared to take their kids out of the home are milling about once again. A barbecue joint nearly torn apart hasn't been fully repaired, but an outdoor grill fills the air with a tantalizing smoky aroma.
"Look at those signs over there," Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said as his SUV drove past a row of tidy ranch-style homes, all with "I Love Ferguson" signs in their front yards. "A few days ago those signs would have been ripped up or thrown in a trash can or painted on. And they stand today.
"That is definitely symbolic of marching down the road toward solutions and a better tomorrow."
Ferguson, once a hardly noticed suburban St. Louis community of 21,000, has raised new concerns and questions about how police interact with the black community, as the immediate aftermath of the shooting was looting and rioting met with a police response of tear gas, military-style vehicles and police dogs. The police action in those initial days drew so much criticism that Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon stepped in and appointed Johnson and the highway patrol to take over security on Aug. 14.
Johnson, 51, has more at stake in Ferguson's rebound than a typical police officer -- he's lived just outside of the town most of his life.
Many of his friends and acquaintances have been brutally honest: One man told him he has been broken by Brown's death and the events that followed. Another man who has run a business on West Florissant for two decades said he didn't know if it was worth it to reopen.
"But I went by the store the other day and I saw him fixing it up," Johnson said. "There's nothing greater than the will to withstand."
Willpower alone can't restore normalcy to the shops and restaurants on the avenue. Former Mayor Brian Fletcher started the group "Friends of the City of Ferguson," which has raised more than $13,000 to help businesses repair the damage.
Mohamad Yaacoub, owner of Sam's Meat Market & More, had two signs in the front of the market. One read, "Our Prayers Go Out To The Michael Brown Family." The other, "Now Open," was tacked to plywood where a window used to be.
He's not certain he'll ever get all of his customers back.
"Many of my customers are not from Ferguson and they're afraid to come back because of the violence," said Yaacoub, who immigrated to the United States from Lebanon in 1999. "We're not selling anything."
The good news for Yaacoub is the support from the neighborhood -- people dropping by with best wishes. One small boy offered to donate a dollar. Yaacoub took the money, and gave the boy candy in return.
Down the street from Yaacoub, Ferguson Burger Bar & More owner Charles Davis took over the restaurant Aug. 8 -- the day before Brown was killed. He kept his doors open throughout the unrest, and he's still waiting to see what a normal week will look like.
"Ferguson is strong," the 47-year-old said. "It will go back to normal. We're still going to be here after America's moved on to something else. We're strong and we're going to only get stronger."
AP reporter Jesse Holland in Ferguson, Missouri, contributed to this report.

Author/Artist Review
Located in: Grand Rapids, Michigan
Submitted: July 30, 2000
Tell us a little about yourself. I'm an ordained minister in the Reformed Church in America. I served congregations in Stickney, Illinois; Morrison, Illinois; and Pompano Beach, Florida, for 15 years before becoming associate editor of the Church Herald in 1975. In 1979 I joined the staff of the Reformed Church in America as a writer and editor, a position I held until retirement in April of 2000. Throughout most of this time I continued to do freelance writing (14 books, etc.)
What was your motivation behind this project? Beauty Care for the Tongue was originally written as a study book for the Women's Department of the Reformed Church in America. It was republished by Zondervan in 1974, where it went through 18 printings and sold 150,000 copies. Even though the book has been out of print for about 20 years I have continued to receive requests for it, so I am grateful that Kregel has agreed to republish it. The book has been extensively updated.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? Feedback from people who have studied the book (either privately or in group study) indicates that it is a life-changing experience. I have deliberately taken a positive approach, showing the potential for a tongue that is positive, loving, clean, honest, etc. rather than decrying the negatives. The chapter titles emphasize this: "A Beautiful Tongue is a Silent Tongue," "A Beautiful Tongue is an Appreciative Tongue," "A Beautiful Tongue is a Witnessing Tongue," etc.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: "Many of our women have said this has made a real difference in their lifestyloe. This, without question, has been the most meaningful and easiest lesson book to present of any ever supplied us." That letter, from a women's church group in New York, is typical of the many I have received.

Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray advance
BARCELONA, Spain -- Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray cruised into the Barcelona Open quarterfinals with straight-set victories on Thursday.
Nadal broke Robert Farah of Colombia in the first game on his way to a 6-2, 6-3 victory for his 31st straight win at the tournament. Nadal set up a quarterfinal match with fifth-seeded Janko Tipsarevic after the Serbian beat Frederico Gil 6-2, 6-2.

"It may sound stupid, but against players like him, you have to go for victory, if you look for a fight you've already lost," Tipsarevic said. "Rafa is playing like he always does on clay, the best, but I'll go out there looking to win and see what happens."
Nadal beat Tipsarevic 6-1, 6-0, 6-2 in their previous meeting, which came in the Davis Cup three years ago.
Murray made quick work of another Colombian in a 6-1, 6-2 win over Santiago Giraldo, the fourth-ranked Briton serving up nine aces in a quick victory.
Murray will play Milos Raonic next after the 11th-seeded Canadian got past Nicolas Almagro 6-3, 6-3.
Also, third-seed David Ferrer broke Albert Montanes five times to topple the fellow Spaniard 6-0, 6-2, while 2010 winner Fernando Verdasco defeated Kevin Anderson of South Africa 6-4, 6-4.
Also, Japan's Kei Nishikori beat Spain's Albert Ramos 7-6 (2), 6-3 and Feliciano Lopez also reached the last eight with a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Jarkko Nieminen.
