An ISA is an Individual Savings Account which is a tax-efficient way of investing. This means returns from investing are free from UK income or capital gains tax. The underlying funds you invest in through your ISA may have paid tax, but you can't reclaim this.
Each year, the Government sets a limit on how much money you can put into an ISA. In the 2014/15 tax year you can invest up to £15,000..
You'll be able to invest all of that allowance in a stocks and shares ISA or a cash ISA, or split it between a cash ISA and a stocks and shares ISA as you wish.
When it comes to selecting your funds, we offer you a choice of two different routes. You can either opt for ready-made funds or, if you feel confident enough, pick your own.
The minimum amount you can invest is £500 as a lump sum or £50 a month. You should consider this as a long-term investment and aim to leave your money in the ISA for at least five years.

Luna Park recs?
- t
- truliketrudat Jan 7, 2007 01:30 AM
I'm going to a birthday dinner at Luna Park tomorrow and I was wondering what stands out on their menu. I searched the board a bit and found recs for the mac & cheese, goat cheese fondue, pork cutlet, and s'mores. Anything else of note?
Any items without cheese that are delicious? The SO dislikes it for some reason that I will never understand.
burger and/or a steak - culotte or flatiron, i can't recall which, served w. caramelized onions (hold the cheese if they offer it).
Do not be, um, cowed by the anti-cheesist. Get the goat cheese fondue.
And a martini - they're BIG and very cold. And wet. And delicious.
I agree - the goat cheese fondue is a must-try. When I went to Luna Park with my ex, also an anti-cheesist, he loved it! We also enjoyed a ridiculous cocktail - can't remember the name, but it's the only on on the menu intended for two, with a volcano in the middle. You can't miss it!
I always get the Nicoise Salad, and my husband always orders the seabass. And don't forget the s'mores for dessert!
Last time I was there the bartender made a drink he called a "Chappquidick" (sp?). Muddled orange, lime, and cranberries, with vodka and I don't remember what else, topped with champagne. A definite winner. And FWIW, I was disappointed by the s'mores, but loved the caramel apple fondue for dessert.
Goat cheese fondue and the s'mores. My husband had the hanger steak and it was great, too. I really enjoyed my Mojito.
I think the best thing on their menu is the jerk chicken, though be warned it has quite a kick (I like that, but not everyone does spicy). Juicy and flavorful. I'm a huge mac and cheese fan, so I was really excited to try Luna Park's and while it will satisfy a craving, I was a little disappointed and I've found much better in LA. As for the pork...tastes good, but not inventive or flavorful. Kind of reminded me of catering food.
And don't forget their cocktails! They use lots of fresh ingredients, like basil and fruit. Must try!
I loved their hawaiian tuna poke appetizer. I really liked the the pork cutles with gruyere and mushrooms. It was really moist and delicious, I definately recommend it. The goat cheese fondue was tasty but a pretty small portion. Its a good restaurant, we really enjoyed ourselves.
One thing to note, its really loud in there, so request a booth if you can.
Thanks for all of your recs, I just came back from dinner and I had the mac & cheese which was wonderfully crusty. The SO managed to avoid the cheese by ordering the burger--I liked his fries. I liked them even better with my friend's sauteéd mussels which were wonderfully plump and flavorful--if I see sauteéd mussels I simply must get them, like at Nook.
Unfortunately the birthday boy was late so we didn't have the chance to sample too many apps, but I suppose I'll try the goat cheese fondue adn perhaps the tuna poke another time.
Yeah, it can be loud, but I suppose that is okay when your party is the source of all the noise.
The hawaiian tuna poke appetizer is surprisingly generous with the amount of tuna for an appetizer. That paired with the goat cheese fondue was an ample meal.
I don't really like the space, it's so dark and loud and not very comfortable. I went to use the cosmo card, and while the food was quite good, I don't think I'd go back.

These New York-based indie-rockers (recently relocated from Chicago, where they recorded both their albums at Steve Albini's Electrical Audio studio complex) figure there's no reason you can't work up a dense lather of electric-guitar distortion in one song and reduce another to a few plucked notes beneath a pretty harmony-vocal line. That they're correct in that assumption doesn't lessen the mild surprise you may experience while listening to Of This Blood, the Detachment Kit's new CD. The follow-up to 2002's solid but workmanlike They Raging. Quiet Army, Blood is a refreshingly eclectic take on underground guitar-rock: loud parts! quiet parts! fast parts! slow parts! a tune in which Ian Menard summons his courage and sings-not-shouts! The band's pairing with strong-willed Illinois rockers Local H here makes sense, but if it's not too late for the reunited Pixies to choose an opening act, can someone make a call?

Find Your Perfect Blond
Find Your Perfect Blond
If you've been craving a true blond color like Carrie Underwood, it's important to know which shades will flatter your skin tone. Look for dyes that include the words warm or golden on the box if you have a warm skin tone. Pick shades described as cool or natural if you have a cool complexion. If you're looking for a big change, blond isn't the way to go. Making the jump from a very dark color to a very light shade requires serious bleaching, which strips away moisture, leaving hair damaged. If you choose overall color (as opposed to highlights), go only one or two shades lighter than your natural shade.

I'm constantly looking for the best burgers. Here's my run down for areas north of you. The best burger in Sandpoint is at the Dairy Depot- a gas station so it is take out only. The second best is the "Damn Good Burger" at Cafe Trinity. It might be the best, but the $8 price tag brings it down a notch. In my opinion, the best burger in North Idaho is at the Elmira Store, a dozen miles north of Sandpoint. It is the kind of place you would love. They also have the best huckleberry shakes- served with the metal shake making cup next to your glass. Give a yell when you're ready to head that way and I'll steer you there. Keep up the good work/Arpie
Question: Do you agree with Arpie's analysis of best burgers beyond Coeur d'Alene proper?

Allen, Vanden Bosch "Luxuries" To Their DefensesPosted by on September 23, 2010 – 4:23 pm
Sunday's NFC North showdown at Mall of America Field features a pair of powerful defensive lines. The Vikings feature the Williams Wall and pass-rushing DEs Jared Allen and Ray Edwards, of course. The Lions acquired 3 new starters along the defensive line this past offseason in #2 overall pick Ndamukong Suh, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Corey Williams to go along with 3-year veteran Cliff Avril.
While it's difficult to distinguish which parts of each defensive line are the most valuable, what's clear to see is how valuable each team's top DE is to the defense. The Vikings acquired Allen before the 2008 season and the 3-time All-Pro has responded with consecutive 14.-sack seasons. Vanden Bosch was with the Tennessee Titans for 5 seasons prior to signing in Detroit as a free agent this past offseason and he's already been a difference maker, with 17 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his first 2 games.
Allen's 14.5 sacks in 2009 helped the Vikings lead the league in that category with 48. But a pass-rushing DE as productive and dominant as Allen does more than just help a team tally sacks. It impacts the overall pass defense and the way coordinators are able to scheme for opposing offenses.
"I know in our case, Jared has made a tremendous difference from a pass rush standpoint and the way I call games as well," Vikings assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier said. "Before he arrived we were a lot more pressure (blitzing) and giving people looks. Once he arrived we were able to stay with our four-man front a little bit more and count on our four guys to rush, which helped improve our pass defense.
"It just gives you a luxury you don't have if you don't have a Jared Allen, one of the premier pass rushers in the National Football League. He's made my job a lot easier and he's made our defense better. It's a luxury when you have a guy like that."
Although it's been just 2 games, it looks as if Vanden Bosch will have a similar impact on the Lions defensive line and overall defense. Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress described Vanden Bosch as a "Tasmanian Devil" earlier in the week and Lions Head Coach Jim Schwartz said the improvement in his defensive line starts with Suh and Vanden Bosch; Schwartz and Vanden Bosch spent time together in Tennessee when Schwartz was the defensive coordinator there.
Schwartz points to the Vikings defensive line as a model for what the Lions are trying to accomplish.
"Go out and get a player like Jared Allen, draft a player like Kevin Williams, sign a player like Pat Williams, develop a player like Ray Edwards," he said. "They don't have to blitz to get pressure on the quarterback. They don't have to get in an eight-man front to stop the run. That's a very comforting feeling for a head coach and a defensive coordinator for that to be the case. We're trying to build the same way."

The Lions are coming into the humptydome and are going to win 24 to 17. Suh will have 3 quality hits on Favre.

WTF, your glass is more than half empty, it's completely empty isn't it? I wonder why these other teams can't afford their own comment boards so they don't have to run to opposing team's comment boards? I guess their team's organiztion figures their fans aren't worth it.

here's 99.9 pecent of the proble, chilly! we could of had the best running back in the draft, chilly passed on him and he went to Detroit. he lets the best punt returner in the league go to the giants for a 7th round draft choice? then he goes for it on the 4th and 2 in the 1st quarter, that game is all on him. lets trade chilly to buffalso for a future 1st round draft pick

In all the pressers I have seen no one really mentioned or called anyone out for the fact they went for it on fourth down so many times.Kick the field goal its common sense.With the kicker we have Com'on.Missing an extra point can and has meant the difference between a W or a L.A little more imagination in the OFF game plan wouldnt hurt.If the O line doesnt improve soon forget it T.Jack will be in there by week 6.Favre got hit hard last week.He is tough but only human_(?)

OR…. Let's all just calm down and see if they can win this one at home vs the Lions, then use the bye week to figure out WTF they can do in the passing game and to help the struggling OL.

Please play more TE's. They could double and slow down the speed linemen. '
they could 'deliver' the block into the hands of our slower tackles and drift out for release valves and positive yards when no one gets open. Please give 'web a chance for a sneak or fake sneak, if you go for it again.

If Harvine is out, maybe Let Tahi work the slot for downfield blocks to spring AP or make the coverage guys see stars. Then recognize it and go to hurry up to attack the victim.

I hope we can play better, cuz if we go out there and play like we have the last 2 games, we lose. This is going to be a tough game…..Detroit is m uch improved
they always play us tough, and all divisional games are important.

Classy post, Lionsrock.
Yeah, the Vikings MIGHT lose this game, but they had better not. No disrespect intended, but the Lions haven't exactly torn up the record books in the past few, oh I don't know… decades. They are much improved, I grant you, but if the VIkes can't beat the Lions at home, there isn't a game on our schedule we CAN win. I'm going to say 16 – 14 Vikes.

Tahi in the slot? How about they use the slot receiver they traded the Dolphins for instead. Camarillo is a slot guy… now that Harvin is gimped, lets try using Greg where he can be useful.

Mississippi Boy,
Too bad brett never had a GREAT receiver over the past 20 years, with the exception of S. Sharpe who got injured prematurely. Brett Never had an Irvin, Rice, Moss, etc, to throw to. If he had, he would have multiple rings by now. His pro career has mirrored his S. Miss giant killer days when the small school from the deep south anually thrashed in state rivals like Miss. State , and pulled big upsets on the road like beating big money programs like Auburn, Alabama, and Florida State. He made plays and made average receivers look good, both in the NFL and college.With the exception of the superbowl years when he had Keith jxn, C'humura, Rison, and Freeman, he has always played with good receivers, but not a Hall of fame great( i do give Driver some CRED, but not GREAT, he and Brett had Chemistry). At this point he cant carry an offense like he once did , and should not have to. Confusing why so many good receivers were passed over this summer or let go? (still don't understand the J. Walker cu, Houzz passover, etc.t?)

After the St. Louis Rams cut Michael Sam from its final 53-man roster, he headed down south to Dallas to join the Cowboys' practice squad. As promotional luck would have it, DirecTV unveiled a new commercial during the NFL Kickoff game last Thursday featuring a gay couple. One of them was even wearing a Cowboys jersey.
"Chris and I have a friendly rivaly: Giants-Cowboys. You know the deal. … Sure, we still argue sometimes. But we're just like any couple, really."
Clearly, this spot was filmed long before Sam joined team's practice squad. Talk about perfect timing. Check out the football-obsessed lovers below. Fingers crossed Sam impresses the Cowboys organization and gets added to the official roster.
It appears football across the pond is a lot gayer than it is in North America. Earlier this week, Italian football team, the Bergamo Lions, filmed a anti-homophobia PSA. Now, we have an openly gay professional football player. 22-year-old Marcus Juhlin made it official by coming out on the latest issue of Sweden's largest gay magazine, QX. Here's a portion of what he told the publication. Translated via Google translator of course.
"I've known me since I was in middle school that I was not like everyone else, says Marcus. It's hard to explain, but I had one of those "ask chance on" girlfriend in sixth grade, but it never felt right. It was fun to hang out with my guy friends over to kiss her and hold her hand. Girls were boring and I know that I thought "I can not spend a whole life with a girl" – Marcus Julin
The wide receiver for the Carlstad Crusaders has won four straight national championships. He plays alongside two of his brothers on the squad. Juhlin attributes Michael Sam as inspiration for going public. Check out more pictures of Marcus below, along with the titillating PSA filmed by an Italian football team.
"I'm not afraid to tell the world who I am. I'm Michael Sam: I'm a college graduate. I'm African American, and I'm gay. I'm comfortable in my skin."
Given that the Associated Press selected Sam as their SEC Defensive Player of the Year, it's almost a given that he'll be picked by a team during the NFL draft in May. If that happens and no other NFL athlete comes out in the meantime, the defensive lineman from Missouri could make history as the league's first openly gay athlete.
"I understand how big this is," he said. "It's a big deal. No one has done this before. And it's kind of a nervous process, but I know what I want to be … I want to be a football player in the NFL."
Michael Sam publicly came out on Sunday during an interview with ESPN's Outside The Lines. He also revealed that his coaches and teammates at Mizzou have known since August about his sexual orientation.
For the most part, several NFL athletes have publicly praised and commended Michael for his courage. Included in that bunch is Super Bowl MVP, Seattle Seahawks' Malcolm Smith. The league itself also issued a statement declaring their admiration for the young athlete.
"We admire Michael Sam's honesty and courage," NFL senior vice president of communications Greg Aiello said in the statement. "Michael is a football player. Any player with ability and determination can succeed in the NFL. We look forward to welcoming and supporting Michael Sam in 2014."
Since a few of us were in Seattle last weekend to celebrate Adam's birthday, I decided to feature one of the players from the Seattle Seahawks for this week's Sports Stud. This week's sexy athlete is 25-year-old NFL football quarterback, Russell Wilson.
Back in 2012, Wilson signed a four-year, $2.99 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks was officially named the team's starting quarterback on August 26, 2012. Outside of football, he has also play Major League Baseball and in fact, this past December he was drafted to the Texas Rangers. He has endorsement deals with American Family Insurance, Nike, Alaska Airlines, and Larson Automotive Group. He's also been featured in many magazines, including GQ Magazine this year and some of these photos are included below. Good luck to the Seahawks who are playing the New Orleans Saints today! Enjoy the photos below.
For this week's Sports Stud (which will be the last one for 2013), I've decided to feature NFL football hottie, Kerry Rhodes. Way back when we first started this website, our own Jonny talked about how sexy Rhodes was in one of his posts. Well, he's right and there are some sexy shirtless pictures to prove it.
Rhodes previously played for the Arizona Cardinals but in March 13, 2013, he was released and is now a free agent. Prior to the Cardinals, he was with the New York Jets. He's been on several TV shows and magazines and perhaps you may even recognize him from one of Lady Gaga's music videos. That's right, Rhodes played the lead police officer in Gaga's "Paparazzi" music video.
Check out his hunky photos below!
This week's Sports Stud is a former American football defensive end and linebacker who spent a majority of his career for the Miami Dolphins in the NFL. In his 15-year career, Taylor played for the Dolphins on three separate occasions (1997–2007, 2009, 2011), and also played a season each for the Washington Redskins (2008) and New York Jets (2010).
This long time NFL hottie holds the sixth all-time career sacks record with 139.5 sacks, is the all-time leader in fumble return touchdowns with 6, while his 246 fumble return yards are the second highest total in NFL history. He officially retired on December 28, 2011. Aside from being really good at football, Taylor is great in front of the camera as you'll see in his photos. He's also competed in Dancing With The Stars back in Season 6 of the show. Check out his photos below!
Whenever Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake get together, it's guaranteed to be a good time. Their chemistry is undeniable and infectious. They've previously tackled the history of rap and now they've teamed up to show the evolution of end zone dances. With football season in full swing, the timing couldn't be more perfect.
Naturally, the duo poked fun at controversial NFL players Manti Te'o, Aaron Hernandez and Tim Tebow. The latter's signature pose was updated in light of his recent status free agent status. Shade, shade, shade.
But their clip wasn't just limited to athletes, even Timberlake was a target at one point. If you ever wanted to see Fallon execute 'N Sync's "Bye, Bye, Bye" choreography, you're in luck. Along the way, actual real touchdown celebrations are performed as well. Check out their dancing anthology below.
For this week's Sports Stud, I decided to highlight on of the sexy models/athletes features in ESPN's Bodies We Want Issue for 2013 – NFL Quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. The 25-year-old hottie is the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, towering at 6'5″ and weighing 230 lbs.
Kaepernick has already been praised for his performance and improvement this season. He credits this to what he did in his off season training. I've included a video below about what it involved, but he also said this to the BleacherReport: "I trained with a few Olympic runners and jumpers. Just to try to get a little bit faster, a little bit better. Anything I could do to try to get a little bit better and stay ahead of the competition. I think the biggest thing was the form of running and how to be more efficient when I run. I feel like that has helped me to this point, and its something I'm trying to improve on more and more, but I think those few weeks with them were very valuable."
Kaepernick has several tattoos on his arms and chest, many of which contain Biblical verses (he was baptized Methodist, confirmed Lutheran, and attended a Baptist church during his college years). Check out his sexy photos (included the naked ESPN pictures) below.

Speak Up, Stand Out
For Girl Scout Volunteers
Are you ready to make an impact on the ways Girl Scouting reaches your community? We are seeking passionate and committed Girl Scout members willing to take an active role in shaping Girl Scouting in Kansas.
The Volunteer Advisory Committee (VAC) shares input to shape volunteer guidelines and resources, volunteer events, and training. Volunteers trouble-shoot and problem-solve so that volunteer support services can be designed around volunteer needs. Speak up!
The VAC will include members from all regions of the council and meets primarily by conference calls.
What's in it for me?
Joining the VAC is a chance for you to:
- Have a positive impact on an organization that you love and care about!
- Meet Girl Scout members from outside your home community.
- Gain valuable experience on planning, policies, and managing outcomes – experience that might help with a job or college application!
- Help bring new members in Girl Scouts by sharing your experiences with others.
- Have fun!
How much time will the VAC require of me?
Most of the VAC meetings will take place by conference call. The exact schedule and meeting times will be determined by committee members, but you will be expected to commit several hours each month for the committee meeting and any meeting preparation. As the committee focuses on different projects, such as Leadership Conference planning or reviewing volunteer resources, subcommittees may meet for a short-time. We ask that committee members be willing to commit to a one-year term.
Why create these committees?
Council staff is responsible for overseeing opportunities for more than 12,000 girls and more than 4,000 adults who participate in Girl Scouting in different ways. We are constantly seeking member feedback, through meetings, surveys, and social media, so the Volunteer Advisory Committee is the next logical step. We want to create an opportunity for dedicated Girl Scout volunteers, who are invested in the Girl Scout experience, to help us make that experience better!
Where do I sign up?
Fill out the form below to apply for the VAC (volunteers). Applicants must have a current (within 3 years) volunteer application and criminal background check on file and must be currently registered members. The VAC will be limited to six to eight members.
The application is a chance for you to share why you are interested in being a committee member and how you believe you can contribute to the committee.
We accept applications at any time and review applications as they come in. Applicants will be contacted within two weeks of submitting an application.
Contact Holly Slawkowski at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lessons in a Lunch Box
Ben Milam Elementary kids treated to food for thought
Tooth decay remains the most common chronic disease of children ages 5 to 17.
Lessons in a Lunch Box: Healthy Teeth Essentials & Facts About Snacks is an educational oral health literacy program striving to give tooth decay the big brush off and help children live happier and healthier lives.
On April 13, children in first through fourth grade and a special education class at Ben Milam Elementary in Dallas enjoyed learning about oral health thanks to fourth-year dental students Carla Lopez, Purvi Patel and Rory Smith. The event was organized by the Department of Public Health Sciences in cooperation with the Dallas Independent School District.
Launched in Baltimore in 2008, Lessons in a Lunch Box empowers children and their families with the proper knowledge about routine dental care, proper oral health maintenance, good dietary choices and more using a "dentally designed" lunch box.
The presentations are geared to elementary school-aged children. They are led by eager and approachable dental and dental hygiene students who teach the children songs, how to brush and floss properly and the importance of good nutrition. The children are rewarded for their attentive participation with bright orange lunch boxes.
| Rory Smith, Carla Lopez and Purvi Patel with
one of the lunch boxes
As with any lunch box, it is what's inside that really counts. In addition to an illustration of the USDA nutritional diagram for children and a proper flossing and brushing guide, each lunch box contains a "Dental Care in a Carrot" case. The plastic "carrot" holds a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, sand timer and a "carrot" top which is also a rinse cup.
Texas A&M Health Science Center Baylor College of Dentistry was the only Texas dental school invited by the Maryland Children's Oral Health Institute to present this program in the state in 2010.
Leeanna Bartlett, assistant professor and director of social services, says it was easy to choose the student presenters. "Carla (Lopez) has a son who is a third grader. Purvi (Patel) volunteers regularly with children and Rory (Smith) plans to pursue pediatric dentistry. They were excellent representatives of the dental school, and the children enjoyed the program."
If Ben Milam Elementary is any indication, the dental students did an excellent job recruiting future dental care providers. At the end of the program Smith asked the children, "Who wants to become a dentist or dental hygienist?" Every hand in the crowd shot up in the air immediately.
Here's hoping the 187 children who received their lunch boxes on April 13 will grow up with healthy smiles and a healthy respect for dentistry.

Creating portals with Office Sharepoint
We are dubious about some of the claims made for Enterprise 2.0, the iteration of Web 2.0 social networking technologies that is supposed to turn business into greased lightning. Take dashboards as a small example. The executives cry out for them, the developers build them, and then... entropy. The abandoned wikis, the blogs …
Sharepoint is a pile of shite. People use it as a replacement for a network share where they're used to dropping hundreds of excel, word and powerpoint docs. Now they simply embed the damned things in Sharepoint pages, which themselves are hidden away somewhere on the Sharepoint server. Its not easy to find resources in Sharepoint because the data you're looking for is almost always obscured by being hidden inside a document so the search never finds what you're really looking for.
A better solution would be to encourage people to use a real Wiki, and write a proper document to wiki page converter. Thats the only true stopper for take-up. Microsoft reckon they have a word to wiki converter, but it only exists for a specific verison of office vs sharepoint server. A basic word document converter does exist for MediaWiki, but that doesn't deal embedded images in the document.
kinda agree...
we use heavily sharepoint and although I kinda do like it as a user, it is painful for admins to manage it. I agree with @Sharepain comment about network share ... this is really really weak in Sharepoint. I wish they would go more true web route and offer something like google docs. Sharepoint Wiki is still pretty painful.
At the same time, there are not that many easy to use corporate out-of-the-box solutions which cover what sharepoint does. Not saying that sharpoint is the best....
"Its not easy to find resources in Sharepoint because the data you're looking for is almost always obscured by being hidden inside a document so the search never finds what you're really looking for."
this is not true, you can search content of the files as well
Everything that he said and more. Sharepoint's version control is crap: it's unable to track deltas, instead just making multiple copies of changed files (imagine doing that with Powerpoint or giant Excel spreadsheets!), and it only works for documents, not for actual site content. Also, backing it up reliably is a huge pain in the ass. Sharepoint is an overengineered POS which constitutes a nightmare to deploy and administer; it may be acceptable for users, but there are plenty of solutions which do almost as much for substantially less time, effort, pain, and money.
And yet...
...people bash Lotus Notes, even though it's been doing all this and more since the early nineties. What's going on here - massive bleeding in the collective brain or someting?
SP was not designed, it grew.
Sharepoint was never designed as a single package. It grew organically into this giant sabre-toothed platypus that might be fun to look at but is absolute hell on zookeepers. Portals, sure we got portals. Here, let me hang a search on the side here. Oh, and reporting, that can go here. Look, another Search engine! Hey, this is fun! Ooh, shrapnel from the PerformancePoint crash. That can go over here...

The U.S. Army installation at Fort Hood, Texas, has strengthened its security policies and procedures after the shooting rampage that killed 12 soldiers and a civilian, reports CNN.com.
Steps have been taken to tighten restrictions on who gets onto the post, to position armed guards in key locations including behavioral health facilities, and to carry out random inspections of containers, said Col. Bill Hill, garrison commander.
"Relaxed entry will cease," he told post personnel in a televised town hall meeting.
All vehicles entering the post will be required to display a Department of Defense sticker or a secure pass, and some buildings will require badge access, he said.
Security at both the fort's airfields also will be tightened, with guards and patrols on site, he said.
Soldiers assigned to Fort Hood will have to register their personal firearms with the director of emergency services, he added. Fort Hood is home to some 50,000 active-duty soldiers and 18,000 of the soldiers' family members.
The alleged shooter Maj. Nidal Hassan, an Army psychiatrist stationed at Fort Hood and who is currently in the hospital recovering from gunshot wounds inflicted by a civilian police officer, has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder underneath the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). (Time has more on the UCMJ and what it means for Hassan.)
But for all these security measures, they probably wouldn't have stopped the rampage from occurring, the installation's commanding general Lt. Gen. Robert Cone told CNN.com.
"I don't think necessarily they would have had an effect on this event."

Religious Cleansing in the USA: Federal Judge Orders Mt. Soledad War Memorial Cross Be Torn Down Comments
A Federal District Court Judge named Larry Burns has ruled that the famous War Memorial, the Soledad Cross, must be torn down within 90 days. Fortunately, he also ruled that his order would be stayed pending appeal. This case must be appealed. The effort to scrub the public square of religious expression and symbols is a threat to religious freedom, runs contrary to our founding documents, and is unfaithful to our history as a free ...

Duke Newcombe, Tyler and winner - a message to you.
Christ's cross has been around for a lot longer than you young bucks. The vast majority of those who fought and died for your now-quickly-going-down-the-plughole-quicker-than-cr&p-no-thanks-to-the-liberals country believed in the Man who died on that cross which sustained them on the battlefield, in the air and on water. So, show some respect - if you don't know what that word means outside gangsta rap, get yourself a dictionary!
There are no atheists in a warzone.
So, what does that make you?!
11 months ago
The tallness of the cross draws attention to the war memorial from a distance, which attracts more people, and tourists to visit! To remove it would surely disturb the repose of the souls resting there! Come Holy Spirit, and dispel the darkness and blindness of those who cannot recognize the wonders of the Holy Cross, a symbol of Love stronger than death!

This event is synonymous with future of our country. The Catholic Liberal Leadership are giving their stamp of approval for this cross coming down. We are going down as a nation.
11 months ago
Seems to me that if we allow religious symbols on state property that we have to allow ALL religious symbols. So by insisting that we can post a christian cross means that we also open the door to religions like Satan worshipers or Islam. Same with prayer in the schools. If we make a ruling that it prayer is allowed we then open to door to all religious prayers. Call me old fashioned but I still like the idea of keeping church and state separate...

im glad theyre tearing it down its promoting pushing your stupid religion on non religious people.

Deacon, before this becomes another instance of Catholic Online presenting a story inaccurately or entirely falsely, it should also be noted CLEARLY that the exact same judge who issued the ruling ALSO issued a stay, pending appeal.
We should ALSO note that should the order be upheld- which is unlikely at best- an Episcopal church locater a couple hundred feet away has agreed to move the cross onto their property.

We have a moral obligation to peacefully and civilly disobey any unjust law, and this is one of them.
I tell you solemnly, ANYONE involved in taking this cross down will have their lives cursed in this life and the next.

The times they are a-changin', Keith, and somebody soon (very likely within my lifetime) the archaic ideologies to which you cling will be nothing more than an embarrassing memory to those of us humans who will have left you and all your god-fearing bugaboos in the dust.

It's simple. You cannot preferentially represent one religion over another using public funds on public property; which is what this monument does. Doing so mis-represents the people who died in the Korean War. Certainly some individuals could have had a religious affiliation that is appropriately represented by this monument. However, to presume that ALL veterans of the Korean have your religious convictions. Doing so is like a dog marking its territory on a fire hydrant. Many people despise your religion. Assuming that this religious monument is appropriate to represent them is just as bad as your presumed slight for having it removed.

It's PAYBACK time as HUMANS send a PROBE up ALIEN body
Re: Success?
Actually that's what the orbiter (Rosetta) will do, still doing very nicely flying around the comet and watching (and listening in case the lander does wake up as it comes closer to the sun).
The lander Philae was designed to have a primary mission of around 60 hours, and includes a hammer, drill, and instruments to analyse the comet's surface. Not to "film" the outgassing, which I imagine would be best done from slightly further away anyway, as Rosetta is.
Crypto collision used to hijack Windows Update goes mainstream
it ought to be impossible to recover the original information.
It still is impossible, and this exercise demonstrates that. Given the hash in question, there's no way to know whether it came from Barry White or James Brown.

That's not agile. Agile is about short development iterations, and frequent delivery, true, but not about shipping untested or unfinished product, or about leaving testing to the consumers.
In any case one delivery a year can't be classed as agile. It's just same old same old - delivery date trumped QA, corners were cut and/or testing insufficient.

I installed it on Saturday morning to fill the time on a train ride. Just in time it seems. Noticable was that it was small enough (a few hundred K IIRC) to do so over a mobile internet connection, and also that it required very few permissions.

Having said that there appear to be no ads in the Android version.
It is damn hard though, I will probably uninstall it if I can't beat my score of 5 by the end of the week!

BBC's 3D blunder BLASTED OUR BRAINS – Doctor Who fans
Re: Better publicity
I agree totally. They say there is not enough demand but I have never seen a bbc promo for 3d content (well maybe the olympics, I can't remember). I had to search online to find out what channel they were using for the Doctor Who 3D (now that BBC HD has been renamed to BBC2 HD. Aside: Can we have BBC4 HD please?)
I watched wimbledon a year ago in 3d after hearing about it by word of mouth.
How do they know people don't want it if they don't publicise it properly? The olympics and wimbledon were great in 3D. I would love more BBC 3D content.

Our school had a couple of 380Z machines in the early 80s which were owned by the maths dept I think. We then became part of some government pilot IT scheme (1983?) and were supplied with a network of 480Zs that shared one vast "Winchester" disk, probably 5Mb! Initially they were on a bus that traveled from school to school but the following year we got our own, on which we wrote games and otherwise messed around (yes also Wordstar dot commands, nostalgia....sigh)

NASA takes stick over feet and inches
Saturn V
I just got the Haynes Workshop Manual for Apollo 11 (yes!). Of course it doesn't really give you instructions for fixing the hardware ( "..first remove the [rocket] engine...") but it does have what looks like an original Boeing (I think) drawing of the Saturn V with lots of measurements on it. Every single one of them is listed in both Metric AND "English".
Who says Nasa can't do Metric? They apparently could back then.
And by the way, someone above compared Newtons unfavourably with Foot Pounds. They are different units for different purposes. Foot Pounds measures turning force around a fulcrum (as you said), the equivalent metric is Newton Meters not Newtons, which are just force, like pounds.
Millions opted into UK mobile phone directory
Their FAQ says...
Now I'm as paranoid as the next man when it comes to giving out my details (and getting p'd off when people ring up my number which they got "off a list" and claiming to be doing a survey when it's clear they are selling etc. etc.) but... the FAQ says the following:
"If you don't give out numbers, how does 118800 put me in touch with the person I want to contact?
When you search on 118800.co.uk, we'll send an SMS message to the person you're seeking givng them your contact details so they can call you back.
Why can't I have the number, rather than being put in touch?
Some people don't like the idea of their mobile number being given out to anyone who asks. So having worked closely with the regulatory authorities to provide a service that protects this right but also provides a successful directory service, we have developed simple ways of connecting you without ever giving out a mobile number."
Now this sounds to me like it would be quite easy to reject any calls from people using this service, and your number will not be given out.

But what about "P.C." with the dots? Does the dot remove the need for the apostrophe? ie. "P.C.s"? Shouldn't "PC" be "P.C." anyway, meaning that "PCs" or "PC's" are just wrong?

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a story of the British gentry in the first half of the twentieth century. It follows Charles Ryder as he comes in contact with the Flytes. He meets Sabastian in Oxford who takes him to Brideshead, his family seat. As the years pass he gets acquainted with the other members of the Flyte family and their lives. There is much religion especially Catholic religion with which we grapple repeatedly.
It's an overall nice portrait of the times. One of the most famous novels by Evelyn Waugh who is a much revered author and deservingly so. A solid read.
I have so much to think about and say about this book. You'll read the actual review in accidentallymars.wordpress.com in a day or so.
The environment of effeminate, aristocratic males of a private English school; the casual enjoyment of entitled wealth; the love for a woman above one's status and the jealousy engendered in her brother; all changed by the reality of WWI and the ultimate demise of the landed gentry. A very well written book. Engaging, but one feels a little dirty after reading it.
One of those books that have been lying around for ages (and where you have a vague recollection of an unwatched mini-series from 30 years ago.....).
First published in 1945, this book is split into 3 sections - the first being Charles Ryder, in the army, returning to Brideshead to use it as local army headquarters. He first visited Brideshead when he was at Oxford and met up with the younger Flyte son Sebastian. This takes us into a reminiscence of Charles's interaction with the Flyte family. Sebastian comes first, and he and Charles have some form of love affair. There is some debate as to whether it was just a romantic love affair (as some young men are wont to do - think it would be called a "bromance" nowadays) or something more sexual (unlikely to be more explicit considering time it was written). Julia is Sebastian's younger sister, an unavailable female version of Sebastian as well as their rather strongly Catholic mother. Their father lives in Italy with his mistress, unable to get a divorce because his wife wont grant it.
Sebastian only really appears in the first third of the book, and the relationship between Charles and the Flyte family falls apart through Sebastian's excessive drinking. Sebastian disappears onto the continent somewhere and is barely heard of again until the end, and only then by third hand.
The second section of the book details Charles's relationship with Julia, where the two meet again several years later and end up living together for several years - both having married and on track to get divorces as a result. They plan to get married once both divorces come through, but over the subsequent years whilst waiting on the divorces, several large events come about. Julia's brother Brideshead, decides to get married to a hideous widow with 2 children, and now that Julia's mother has died, Julia's father decides to return to Brideshead in order to die.
The last, short section of the book returns Charles to Brideshead as part of the army who have taken residence in the empty home.
There are large swathes of narrative, with page long paragraphs, especially at the beginning, which would have turned me off the book had it gone on for much longer. There is also some conflict between the very Catholic Flyte family and the rather atheist Charles, which brings conflict throughout the book.
Original post at Book Rhapsody.
Brideshead Revisited is arguably the masterpiece of its author, Evelyn Waugh. It is claimed so as well by the writer, but after he reread it years after its first publication date, he was appalled to find out that it isn't as good as he initially thought it was. But isn't that always the case? For us book bloggers, we think that we have just finished writing a wonderful review of a book after editing the typos and other errors, only to realize months later that it's rather distasteful.
Anyway, the novel's complete title is Brideshead Revisited, The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder. I think that the subtitle is a little oxymoronic and intriguing: how can the sacred and the profane intermingle with each other? It must be blasphemous then, no?
True enough, one of the novel's themes is Catholicism. Charles Ryder is drawn to the Flyte Family, a rich and opulent one, through his friend Sebastian Flyte. Sebastian, at first, is reluctant to introduce him to the rest of the Flytes lest they take away his only friend, but Charles is inevitably dragged to the very Catholic and very flawed affairs of the family.
The languor of Youth–how unique and quintessential it is! How quickly, how irrecoverably, lost! The zest, the generous affections, the illusions, the despair, all the traditional attributes of Youth–all save this–come and go with us through life; again and again in riper years we experience, under a new stimulus, what we thought had been finally left behind, the authentic impulse to action, the renewal of power and its concentration on a new object; again and again a new truth is revealed to us in whose light all our previous knowledge must be rearranged. These things are a part of life itself; but languor–the realization of yet unwearied sinews, the mind sequestered and self-regarding, the sun standing still in the heavens and the earth throbbing to our own pulse–that belongs to Youth alone and dies with it. Perhaps in the mansions of Limbo the heroes enjoy some such compensation for their loss of the Beatific Vision; perhaps the Beatific Vision itself has some remote kinship with this lowly experience; I, at any rate, believed myself very near heaven, during those languid days at Brideshead.
Brideshead is the name of the house, rather castle, of the Flytes. Charles Ryder, a fledgling painter, is checking out his ground-floor room at Oxford when Sebastian, out of nowhere, vomits inside through the window. The next day, Sebastian sends flowers to Charles's room and invites him for lunch.
That is the start of the friendship between the two. They spend most of the time with each other, mostly drinking and basically having the time of their lives. This friendship is a hot topic of debate among literary circles. Is it a homosexual relationship? Is it a deeply platonic relationship?
On the surface, there are no homosexual acts, but one may be led to think that there might have been stolen kisses here and there, and even more, if one dives deeper beneath the text. And what did I think of it? Sure, Sebastian is queer. He cares so much for Charles, but I don't think Charles reciprocated it in the same way as the former did. What they have must be a sort of bromance, something that fizzles out once the real object of desire comes along, which is Julia in Charles's case.
Julia, Sebastian's older sister, is very much like the younger brother in some ways. She becomes the love of Charles at the latter parts of the novel, but is she really what Charles wants?
The friendship between Charles and Sebastian crumbles slowly when Julia enters the scene. It ends when Charles was banished away from the family when he tolerates Sebastian's uncontrolled drinking, opposing the wishes of Sebastian's religiously oppressive mother. Years later, Charles and Julia are married but not to each other. The love between them that was thwarted earlier is rekindled as the two meet again. They go through an affair, but Charles wants more than Julia alone: he wants Brideshead.
So, why didn't they marry each other? Of course, there's Sebastian, but he isn't the sole and main reason. Charles, an uncompromising atheist, cannot be accepted into the Flyte family because of the family's strong Catholic foundation. In fact, it is too strong that the patriarch ran away for being stifled by the saintly matriarch. The latter's admonitions to the Flyte children poison them as they grow older, and this ultimately becomes the reason for the subsequent unhappiness of Sebastian.
Religion is good, but is it good enough to allow people to base their happiness on it? There is no problem if people are utterly happy in performing their religious duties, but what if their happiness is something that religion forbids? What does one do: denounce his faith or succumb to it?
Most of the characters in this novel undergo a sort of conversion. From the adulterous patriarch even to the wayward Sebastian, they turn back to religion that they felt constricted their lives. That is something that bothers me. Are they fully absolved in accepting what they shunned away, or is this just another plain ritual that the society has to act out? And how about Charles? Does he have a reason to seek conversion? Is he guilty of something? Is he the hunted or the hunter?
These are all very coarse and incoherent thoughts on the book, but disregarding them, this a very satisfying read. Waugh is an adept writer, sometimes evocative, sometimes humorous. It's also very nostalgic, and Charles, an outsider to a world of excesses and indulgence, becomes our eyes to the post WWI English high society.
"Lush and evocative ... the one Waugh which best expresses at once the profundity of change and the indomitable endurance of the human spirit."
But those who disagree with him on religious or political grounds, or both, will have a time for themselves in trying to prove that his beliefs have marred his literary artistry. "Brideshead Revisited" is Mr. Waugh's finest achievement.

McCotter Introduces Resolution Condemning Iran on UN Women's Rights Commission by Danielle Avel 22 May 2010 post a comment Share This: Last week, I published a column that details the disgraceful silence of the Obama Administration over the election of Iran to the UN women's rights commission. This week, I'm happy to update this story with a positive development -- Representative Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) introduced House Resolution 1371, "Condemning the selection of the Government of Iran to serve on the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women." The original Cosponsors of this measure represent a diverse, bipartisan group including Rep. Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Rep. Burton (R-IN), Rep. Campbell (R-CA), Rep. McCaul (R-TX), Rep. Inglis (R-SC), and Rep. Polis (D-CO). On April 28, Iran was handed a seat on the UN Commission on the Status of Women despite efforts by Iranian "gender-equality activists" and supporters to block this appointment. The US Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, made no attempts to thwart Iran's bid for a seat on this committee and on the day of the election, she did not even bother to show up for the meeting. Despite public outcry, the Obama Administration still fails to publicly condemn the appointment of Iran to the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Several members of Congress, however, have taken the lead in voicing the concerns of the American people. House Resolution 1371 points out that "Iran's Islamic civil and penal codes discriminate against women" and notes that "according to the Department of State's 2009 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, Iranian women are only 'nominally' granted 'equal protection under the law... in conformity with Islam.'" The resolution also highlights some of the human rights violations against women including: "under Iranian law, spousal rape is legal" "Iranian penal code dictates a punishment of lashings or a fine if a woman appears in public without an appropriate hijab" "Iranian law permits men to have as many as four wives" "adultery is punishable by death by stoning, and a man who kills his wife...may easily escape punishment," The proposed resolution not only "condemns" this UN appointment, but also "calls on the Administration to denounce the selection of the Government of Iran to serve on the Commission" and "urges the President to direct the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations to use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States at the United Nations to advocate for the removal of the Government of Iran from the Commission." The Representatives who cosponsored Resolution 1371 have taken leadership in Congress by standing in opposition to Iran serving on the UN's "global policy-making body" for women's rights. Although the Obama Administration currently still refuses to condemn the appointment of Iran to the UN women's rights commission, Congress members are taking initiative and expressing the concerns of the American people. Voters who are interested in seeing this resolution passed should contact Congress and voice their support for House Resolution 1371.
