Snoop-happy councils warned off RIPA abuse
The head of the Local Government Association (LGA) has today warned every council in England to restrict how their investigators use new surveillance powers, or risk losing public support. Sir Simon Milton's letter follows a recent rash of news stories exposing how councils nationwide have been using the Regulation of …
So thats all right then!
"Whilst it is a matter for each council to determine for its area, our advice is that, save in the most unusual and extreme of circumstances, it is inappropriate to use these powers for trivial matters." He also noted that RIPA calls for spying powers to be used only when "necessary and proportionate to prevent or detect a criminal offence".
In other words, we've got to be seen to be doing something, but this won't change a thing
Not a local matter
"Whilst it is a matter for each council to determine for its area"
No, it isn't, the right to privacy is a basic right written into law. It's not up to the council to decide that privacy can be removed for littering or whatever, it's for the courts to decide.
If you want public support, then each case should be reviewed by a judge. If it's not important enough to get a warrant then why is it important enough to spy on people?
Surely if you are claiming 'fraud' (like the local council vetting people who apply for a school place did), then they can get a warrant?
Imagine how insane that is, a Council can obtain records of everyone you've called or who has called you, with nothing more than a letter asking for it.
The request is kept secret, so if they're misusing the power you would never know and would never be able to challenge.
The ombudsman is only informed if the council informs him, and even then he is a toothless watchdog intended to present an air of auditing to these.
First off...
RIPA is not anti-terror legislation. Yes it can be used for that but it's original purpose was for the prevention and detection of crime. This hang up on 'anti-terror' is just media hype.
Second, RIPA is a fantastically badly written piece of law. It was rushed through to counter the effects of Human Rights Act (which basically said 'thou shalt not spy on anyone - unless your law says it's legal to' which ours didn't.)
Thirdly, local authorities are quite specifically only allowed to use RIPA for the prevention and detection of crime. If they have, as the reports suggest, being using it for dog turd droppers then the recipient of the fine has particularly good grounds not only to get the fine dropped like a tab end but for getting the council bollocked for inappropriate surveillance.
As bad as it is, this isn't an issue of 'new' spying laws or even of government big brother. It's basically some council jobsworths with bad oversight deciding that as they've got some bright and shiny cameras why not try and make a few of the gazillion quid they've spent on them back by collaring fag droppers and turd leavers.
In fairness, I don't particulalry mind it. People who leave behind the turds of their dogs should have their face rubbed in it to make sure they don't do it again.
Who DIDN'T expect that?
Terrorist threats identified using RIPA? None.
UK Citizens arrested for letting their dog crap on the pavement using RIPA? If it's more than 'None', the law needs to be thrown out.
Dog mess indeed
<...>RIPA calls for spying powers to be used only when "necessary and proportionate to prevent or detect a criminal offence".<..>
Erm by the Police and Security services. What exactly are local councils doing getting involved in criminal or terrorist investigations in the first place?
Allowing minor local functionaries this kind of power is the sort of madness we expected from Eastern Europe decades ago.
Entirely the wrong approach
Councils simply shouldn't have these powers. He's saying "play nicely or people will rumble that we shouldn't be able to snoop on them", after the tabloid press for once highlighted a proper target: councils using "anti-terrorist" powers to spy on people who've aplied for popular schools.
@ secretgeek
first off
not clearing up dog turd and littering are technically crimes under the environmental protection act 1990 (as ammended by several hundred newer acts and regulations) by not clearing up after your dog / littering you are not complying with the duty of care requirements of waste handeling which is the same legislation used for fly tippers. it is a requirement of the waste producer to ensure that it is disposed of correctly or transfered to an appropriatly licenced waste handler.
as for following people home to ensure they live in the correct district this is an abuse of the powers as i cann't see what harm has een done (i.e. if the grandparents or whoever live in that district then they are paying council tax for the education of children aswell as the parents)
I can see both sides of this...
Being an Ex Councillor I know just how frustrating it is to continuously spend time and money clearing up after people's anti-social behaviour, which is getting worse by the way.
The public are only too happy to complain about litter, dog fouling, parking on pavements, fly tipping, noise and just about anything else, but when it comes to standing up and being counted they are crap, the see nothing. The Police are useless, and have palmed much of the enforcement of this kind of thing on to local authorities, and spend most of their life filling in forms anyway.
So what, do you expect the local authorities to do then, they are not policemen, they aren't trained to deal with situations in the same way as the police nor do they have the authority too. For their own safety they have to use remote enforcement methods, and I don't blame them.
Doesn't mean I have to like it though.
Oh there is an alternative though, you could become a law abiding citizen and so not have to worry about it. And just think next time you drop your chewing gum and litter on the pavement, if you and everyone else put stuff in the bins, councils wouldn't be using these methods. The don't spend money just because they can you know.
"[...] its call for restraint was backed by all three Westminster party leaders."
At least one of these leaders is a member of the Party that, in 2003, allowed David Blunkett to wave through an expansion of the number of organisations able to invoke the act from nine to seven hundred and ninety two...!
Criminal dog owners
@Secretgeek - I agree with the spirit of your post but I'm afraid you're wrong about the status of dog fouling. It most certainly is a crime, under the EPA amongst others.
Re: First off...
First off, when the legislation was put before the commons, it was all about how it was necessary for the war on terror to ensure our safety.
The LAW never mentioned this.
But since the politicians were stampeded into saying yes or being against our safety, the reason for the law that was stated is CENTRAL to how it should be applied.
If the discussion was "we need this to stop dog owners letting their pooches poop on our pavements", I doubt many would have said "OK".
"RIPA is not anti-terror legislation. "
I'm with elReg on that, the justification is there right in the first paragraph of RIPA, the intention of RIPA was clear.
"An Act to make provision for and about the interception of communications, ... to the carrying out of their functions by the Security Service, the Secret Intelligence Service and the Government Communications Headquarters; and for connected purposes."
So RIPA was drafted for "Security service" "Secret Intelligence Service" and GCHQ. No mention of 'local council dog poop' in the intro.
2002 Added local authorities (and a bunch of other agencies, even politicaly controlled ones) to the list of agency. This causes a backlash, people are very unhappy that any local official can have a look at their private phone, and other records.
2003 Sought to address the backlash with a 'code of practise' and a 'commissioner'. A few sops, essentially the core problem remained, non judges issuing letters equivalent to legal warrants without the right to consider the privacy right.
2004 Leveraged the EU mutual assistence treaty to extend RIPA to intercepting info for non UK people, and also non UK countries can require the RIPA data.
2005, Port authorities added to RIPA, now the Port of Liverpool can demand your records, without a warrant. Nuclear police (the private security agency that protects nuclear power stations) get the snoop powers too. Snoop powers for everyone!
2006 we had the demands for data retention in the EU, 'for national security purposes'. Effectively this killed the right of privacy by allowing data to be stored for people not suspected of crime.
2007 further expansion of RIPA.
By 2008 the data grabbed in 2006 is being made available for other purposes other than national security, see Home office recent internal memos. + data mining of all stored data.
By 2010 I expect all Brown/Smith will have all transaction monitored for every purpose with no right to privacy.
@Ash; "Dog walkers" should get all they deserve.
Cathing people who fail to clear up after their dogs is an entirely proper use of RIPA. Have you tried to navigate a baby-buggy and a 3 year old child through the minefield left by one of these selfish oafs' mutts?
Generally I agree with El Reg's view that we are slipping into a police state, but lazy dog walkers need to be forced to eat up their pet's excrement with a spoon (perhaps only on a third offence) and RIPA will generate the evidence required for a conviction.
and why shouldn't they
Survey on people?
IMO, there isn't enough survelance in parks, it a child can go into a park and stepin/roll in, fallin /pick up dog shite then there is clearl someone who has broken the law and made what was once and still should be a clean and safe place for kids to play into an area of land littered with what is essentially sewage.
perhaps the dog walkers should pick up their dongs shit, and since they don't then i feel it's perfectly reasonable to have park attendants actually watch to see who it is that won't pick up after their dog, and ensure that they are punished for breaking the law.
Where the issue of dogs crapping on the grass is concerned, you're not into the realms of black helicopters following all dog walkers down the street. you're looking at a bunch of people who are shrugging their responsibility getting pictured in the act.
people who cheat benefits getting caught.
this is the ideal situation. the local councils are able to take responsibility for ensuring that the law is followed, and the streets are safe and clean, whilst allowing local police to get on with real policing business.
@dog turds
"People who leave behind the turds of their dogs should have their face rubbed in it to make sure they don't do it again."
Hear, Hear! :-)
Gaulieters Rule!!
They will hate it if their powers to snoop are curtailed. They, like the cops, want more powers - just in case they need them. Spineless NuLab are all for giving officious busybodies and such all sorts of powers as they request. Some they'd not even dreamed of asking for, as they did not think any sane government would grant them. 42 days detention ring a bell with anyone?
If these laws are not for use in certain circumstances...
... then the wording of the law should say so. It doesn't because Labour hires illiterate mentally retarded wombats from the planet Stupid to write the text of its laws.
Death's too good for them
"perhaps the dog walkers should pick up their dongs shit,"
That brought one of those uncontrollable smiles to my face.
Needless to say, I chose the icon with the guy rummaging through pockets for a pooper scooper.
"more serious transgressions such as fly tipping"
The act was brought in asa necessary tool in the fight against terrorism, and yet fly tipping is judged to be serious enough to use it?
There are a lot of offences I would rate worse than fly tipping but not serious enough that the council had the right to spy - even murder doesn't automatically qualify. Going down the list, we have rape, violent assault, armed robbery, robbery, blackmail, anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, littering, allowing a dog to foul the pavement and many more. Of those, which suspects deserve to lose their liberties?
How about we recognise that this legislation had one specific use when it was drafted, and stick to that?
Liberty Land
"The public are only too happy to complain about litter, dog fouling, parking on pavements, fly tipping, noise and just about anything else, but when it comes to standing up and being counted they are crap,"
Yeh, we should have compulsary DNA, so that any chewing gum found can be tracked back to the individual and the chewing gum stuck in their hair.
Dogs should have their DNA taken too, any dog poop can be checked for residual dog DNA and traced back to their owners to have dog poop smeared in their faces.
The cameras that already monitor cars who stop to let out school kids, could be used to monitor people. Add a barcode to their foreheads to make for easier scanning.
Councils could form vigilante units to shoot repeat offenders.
We could put a fence around Britain, add some concession stores, a few fenced walkways, a drive through area with some signs warning visitors not to open their windows or leave their cars, and us Europeans could come visit, for a laugh.
Spying on people is anti-social too. Wasting tax payer money is anti-social. Invading people's privacy is anti-social. Assuming guilt of many to catch one or two is anti-social. But hey, bears shit in the woods? OMG how anti-social!
I'd write...
... 'I told you so' in the dust. But there's a CCTV camera pointing right at me.
Fine, fine!
I bow to the weight of more knowledgable commentators that letting your dog crap everywhere is a criminal offence.
Man, that'll teach me to not do my research.
And if you're correct - let's fire up those closed circuit badboys and catch us some poopers!
If police had a day without crimes being committed
they'd find a person, make up a crime, and arrest the person just to keep from being bored. Once massive spying power is conferred on the government, sordid employees can abuse the power so they can find individuals who made imagined slights against them, and make their life a living hell, for no better reason than because they could. It's not the guilty people who should be afraid, they're already know they're going to get it eventually. It's the innocent people who should be afraid. Anyone who knows a police officer knows that most of them lose their belief in humanity early on, and subsequently look upon everyone as guilty of something (justifying any action they choose beforehand).
If you want a return of brutal feudalism, keep giving the government and police more power. They will return your trust with blood - yours.
Local Authorities Snooping?
Local Authorities were using listening devices to prove or disprove statutory noise for years before RIPA came into existence. If you live next door to a neighbour causing a noise nuisance in the early hours of the morning, the only recourse may be to have noise monitoring equipment installed for the LA to electronically witness it to take further legal proceedings. Noise Nuisance is actionable by issuing a legal Enforcement Notice under the Environmental Protection Act. Non-compliance could lead to court and if found guilty, it IS a criminal offence. As for turd-leavers.... post it back through their door!
Maybe all the people shouting about their freedom wouldn't mind so much if their lives were being made hell from sleep deprivation from noisy neighbours. If you're not doing anything wrong in life, why should you worry? Simplistic, maybe?
@Local Authorities Snooping
Yes, I do have a noise problem where I'm living and I'm dealing with it. Now please get real for a moment, there is a world of difference between a neighbor measuring noise levels in their own home and dodgy council workers being given an excuse for following young schoolgirls around whenever they feel the urge.
Given the financial restraints imposed on LA's, I find it ludicrous to find people actually believe they have the time, money or inclination to squander scarse resources on 'following young schoolgirls whenever they feel the urge'. The same goes for the misguided belief LA's get involved in fighting terrorism, isn't that primarily a Police role?
No, YOU get real! I used Stat Nuisance of an example of LA's being obliged to abide by RIPA. They still use good old-fashioned street patrols (with vetted, Professional Officers) to fine the dirty bast#!ds who feel it acceptable to tarnish the streets with their litter and dog turds.
@I can see both sides of this...
Sounds like a very one-sided view to me.
You now have wardens going round giving people on the spot fines in the street -- why the hell do you need the powers to check phone records, car number plates and god knows what else?
It's using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
If we're going to have this legislation they should fully open it up to the public -- it's only fair. After all, if you're going to have 800 companies able to use RIPA you may as well make it available to the other 12 people in britain who cant currently use it...
In my day...
We used to follow the dog owner to their home, wait until they were gone and then place the offending pile into the intake of their air conditioning unit (always pleasant on an extremely hot summer day) or under the car door handle. And yes, you use a plastic baggie to pick it up, the kind responsible dog owners use.
"They still use good old-fashioned street patrols (with vetted, Professional Officers) to fine the dirty bast#!ds who feel it acceptable to tarnish the streets with their litter and dog turds."
Clearly they aren't doing so enough, or in the right places/times.
RIPA is not appropriate for this stuff, but I do quite agree that dog owners should be made to clear up, by Bobbies on the Beat !!!
Memories of the communist state!
Without doubt this RIPA legislation is being abused by 'nosey-parker jobsworths' in our local councils. They're like kids with a new toy on Christmas morning, eager to use use & abuse this law in whichever way they see fit so they can tell their 'mates' about it in the pub and impress their girlfriends with tales on 'national security' snooping. Snooping on parents that may live just outside school catchment areas and dog lovers that let their filthy animals defecate all over public areas and children's play areas.
Why do we need such Orwellian state legislation to prevent irresponsible dog owners letting their dogs leave Toxicara infested piles of scat all over the place?, why not just make their owners eat it on a sesame seed bun, garnished with yellow dog p*ss?, this may make them think twice about letting these filthy animals empty their bowels in whatever place they see fit!

Milton wrote: "Whilst it is a matter for each council to determine for its area, our advice is that, save in the most unusual and extreme of circumstances, it is inappropriate to use these powers for trivial matters."
Therefore, it is appropriate to use RIPA for trivial matters in extreme and unusual circumstances.
It's all a load of poo
I think this country has much more to worry about than who's dogs shite where and what school little Johnny goes too. Fact is, the cameras are not ding what they are supposed to do and thats deter / detect real crime. The camera opposite my house is currently pointing at someones window and has been for the last 3 days. Are the operators perving? What happened to the privacy zones these cameras should be programmed with (ie. no snooping into peoples windows)
Its been proven so far that our camera state has only detected 3% of crime, compare this to the costs of running such systems, they should be scrapped. Cameras run by local authorities is just another excuse to spy on us normal everyday citizens whilst in reality, they don't prevent and detect real crime. I'm fed up with being snooped apon when I'm walking, shopping, driving, having a meal out, having a pint out and probably whilst I'm having a dump in a public toilet somewhere. When has any of these cameras contributed to busting a terrorist or drugs cartel? Never.Congratulations for all the Dog Shit detection! Horrah for watching little johnny go to school, What a feat which costs us millions of pounds to have these jobs worth, perving camera operators film our every movement.
What a weak nation this pathetic island has become!
@ Mycho I've read the posts and I may have missed it but I'm pretty sure that no-one mentioned council workers 'following young schoolgirls around whenever they feel the urge'.
Have you just given us an enlightening insight into your foetid imagination?
Or was it just your run of the mill Freudian slip? ;-)
Seriously, I work for a council and I haven't followed any schoolgirls around....
...since the court order.
Plastic mac please.
You're only jealous.
Pooh Trees
Would offenders please refrain from bagging their dog shit and then hanging it from trees or chucking it at the path side(Why do they do this?). It takes light years to break down, and it confuses my dog!

Elizabeth Banks Talks Stepping Into Her 'Hunger Games' Role
Say hello to Effie Trinket!
Hunger Games doesn't hit theaters until March 2012 (with its sequel dropping in November 2013), but Elizabeth Banks is already talking about her role as the eccentric, pink haired, District 12 escort.
The 30 Rock actress spoke with Vulture about the role, what the transformation was like, and whether or not she read the books herself.
When asked about the look of her character, Banks said:
"All I can tell you is that Effie does have pink hair. When the hair and makeup was finished, we had all these people in the trailer and it was like everybody just got giddy all at once, like, "We did it!" and "This is Effie! It's going to be awesome!" We were so happy."As it turns out, EB had read the book long before it was in talks to become a film:
"I read the book a long time ago. I was a very early adopter. I'd actually just read a book called The Maze Runner, which is another great book with a similar theme, but it has a male protagonist … my husband and I are always looking for properties to produce. So we had an advance reader's copy of The Maze Runner."Click here to read more of Elizabeth's interview!

Spring Break is officially over and everyone is back to their regular schedules. A lot of people returned with a tan…and those who did not are pretty jealous. But no worries, they'll get tan soon cause warm weather is coming! One thing I love doing in these gorgeous weather is reading outside! I just finished reading Divergent, which was amazing. And since it is a trilogy I'm onto the next book!
But before I started the second book, I wanted to see the movie Divergent first, which is currently in theaters. Westminster has a great movie theatre located down the road…it is attached to the mall. The mall has a lot to offer. They have a number of stores, places to eat, and of course of the movie theatre! Anyway, my friends and I decided to go for a Matinée showing since it is cheaper! And let me just say….the movie was amazing! I would definitely recommend you go see it!:) It is similar to the Hunger Games, so if you were a fan of that…I think you would enjoy this story! It's great having a movie theatre right down the road for times like this!

Imation usb flash disk not working in Win7
Help please,
I have an Imation Usb Flash disk 4GB nano pro,
everytime I plug in to my Toshiba Laptop A300 using Windows 7
it says windows update cannot find the driver ,
so it say usb device not recognized and I cant see it in my Devices with removable storage.
When i go to device manager, i can see the unknown device as nano pro
but no driver installed, it has an yellow exclamation mark. tried update driver but failed because Windows 7 cannot find it online.
When i run Ubuntu OS on the same laptop,
usb imation is working so i guess theres a problem only with Windows 7 driver or Windows 7 OS .
Could someone help me find the driver installer...
Also, i tried a different brand usb flash disk and its working on Windows 7 only this Imation brand.
Thanks a lot

Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
Try these fixes, starting from the easiest.
1. Power cycle your laptop. Remove the battery, Remove the AC power (mains plugged out).Leave for a few minutes and then connect the battery and the AC Power. Boot and then plug in your pendrive. (This simple procedure helped many.)
2. Try Microsoft Fix-it. Fix All Types Of USB Related Problems In Your Windows With Official Microsoft USB Fix It
3. Do a drive clean up. USB drive or flash problems? How to cleanup and remove old USB storage drivers - TechSpot Forums Note: a) download the latest version v0.8.1 drivecleanup.zip from Drive Tools for Windows b) Instead of moving the DriveCleanup.exe to the System32 folder you can right click on the .exe file (32bit or 64bit depending upon your system bit version) and run it as administrator.
4. Copy some important USB related files as detailed in Problem with usb drives/ports showing in explorer . Note: Before copying these to the locations specified, you may backup the existing files in another location - just in case you need to go back.
5.Rebuild the infcache.1 file. Refer to this tutorial USB Driver - General Fix for Problems Note: a) Repeat Fix 3 drive cleanup. You may then omit the first part since you would have already eliminated all non-present devices. Just execute the delete infocache.1 file as detailed. b) You may move it to another location again just in case you want to revert. c) In case of any problem ask pooch.
Try these in the order specified. I really do not know which one may work in your case and we will be learning as much as you will be.

Try checking the USB drive for errors in Windows on the laptop that works with it. Run Check Disk.
Have you tried copying the data from the flash drive on the laptop that works, formatting the flash drive and copying the data back? Then inserting it into the laptop that cannot read it. Failing that it will be a possible registry issue or a bad usb drive that simply won't work on 7 any more.

The Origins of the English Reformation ReconsideredPosted on October 8, 2014 | No CommentsHow different might the first years of the English Reformation look if we try to view them forwards rather than backwards, remembering that the first generation of converts to reform were not early 'Protestants,' but late medieval Catholic Christians?
An evening with Philippa Gregory : The King's CursePosted on September 23, 2014 | No CommentsBritish author Philippa Gregory delighted a packed auditorium last night in Toronto, as she spoke about the way she writes historical fiction, her views on Henry VIII, and the travails of going on tour.
Sir Thomas MorePosted on July 23, 2013 | No CommentsHe may have considered becoming a monk but eventually decided to remain a layman after marrying and becoming a Member of Parliament. He was to wear a hair shirt under his clothes for the rest of his life, emulating the Carthusians.
Milton's History of Britain in its historical contextPosted on April 8, 2013 | No CommentsThe prologue studies the Tory publication of Milton's Character of the Long Parliament (1681). It argues that the provenance of this tract is best explained if Milton did in fact attempt to include the Digression in his History of Britain. Further ambiguities in Milton's early reputation are discussed in a review of the History's reception.
Representations of Elizabeth IPosted on April 8, 2013 | No CommentsThis thesis looks at three themes in representations of the Queen in Elizabethan literature. They are: the problem of representing a female ruler; the relation between the cult of Elizabeth and the cult of the Virgin Mary; and representations of Elizabeth as Cynthia, the moon-goddess. These topics are seen as focal points for problematic issues in panegyric.
The role of the laity in the Church of England, c. 1850-1885Posted on April 7, 2013 | No CommentsThe initial hypothesis which I state and then set out to test and refine here is the hypothesis that lay membership of the Church of England during the Mid and late nineteenth century largely ceased to be an involuntary act and became, instead, a voluntary one.
"The lying'st knave in Christendom": The Development of Disability in the False Miracle of St. Alban'sPosted on April 1, 2013 | No CommentsWhat none of these studies have examined, however, is the performance of disability at the center of the St. Alban's episode.
On Resistance: The Case of 17th Century QuakersPosted on March 3, 2013 | No CommentsDrawing on Scott's influential paradigm I present an historical anthropology of seventeenth century Quakerism, focusing on this religious movement from its genesis in around 1650, to the Act of Toleration in 1689.
The impact of the Reformation on the Tudor royal household to 1553Posted on February 11, 2013 | No CommentsThe primary objective is to examine the impact of the Reformation upon private devotional practices of individuals within the royal household.
The house is hers, the soul is but a tenant': Material Self-Fashioning and Revenge TragedyPosted on January 27, 2013 | No CommentsPlaying dead, however, is not merely a staging issue, though performance of a single character in two simultaneous but separate locations is a legitimate concern, both metaphysical and staging, since playing dead also poses eschatological and ontological challenges to neoplatonism, stoicism, and Christian theology, frameworks within which many Jacobean and revenge plays are conceived.
'An honest dog yet': Performing The Witch of EdmontonPosted on January 24, 2013 | No CommentsAt the climax of Dekker, Ford, and Rowley's 1621 tragedy The Witch of Edmonton, the devil treats a young morris dancer named Cuddy Banks to a discourse on the relationship between the everyday world in which Cuddy lives and the demonic realm over which he himself reigns.
Miraculous Rhetoric: The Relationship between Rhetoric and Miracles in the York 'Entry into Jerusalem'Posted on January 20, 2013 | No CommentsI argue that the York playwright juxtaposes overt references to verbal persuasion with depictions of miracles to highlight the differences between the uncertainty of his audience's world and the miraculous certainty of the biblical narrative performed before them.
The Kirk, the Burgh, and FunPosted on January 16, 2013 | No CommentsThis complex web of interests and principles produces individual ironies, and the paper contrasts the activity of Haddington's one-time schoolmaster and play director, James Carmichael, who, as he reformist minister of the town, was chosen to subdue the author of a local May play (here named for the first time).
The Gunpowder Plot: Terror and TolerationPosted on January 7, 2013 | No CommentsThe relatively minor role torture played in the Gunpowder Plot investigation is a good example of the myths that surround this emotive subject. Permission was given to employ torture on Fawkes, who initially refused to say anything, but whether it was actually used and how much is unclear.
Lessons from history: asylum patients' Christmas experiencePosted on December 24, 2012 | No CommentsWhile it may be claimed that contemporary practice offers drug treatments and a wide range of therapeutic interventions unimaginable 150 years ago, it could also be argued that for all the advances in care and treatment the quality of life that patients experienced in the 19th century was, to some extent, superior.
Recusancy and Regicide: the Flawed Strategy of the Jesuit Mission in Elizabethan EnglandPosted on December 9, 2012 | No CommentsRecusants, or those who refused to attend protestant services, were acknowledged by the Catholic Church to be the highest, most noble sort of Catholics.
Sincere Lies and Creative Truth: Recantation Strategies during the English ReformationPosted on November 27, 2012 | No CommentsThis leaves a blank page in the history of religious persecution and tolerance in sixteenth- century England. This paper hopes to contribute to some recent studies which are attempting to fill it, such as those of Susan Wabuda and Brad Gregory. These historians both suggest that the crown did not press for recantation only to maintain power.
"The Wonderfull Spectacle" the Civic Progress of Elizabeth I and the Troublesome CoronationPosted on November 27, 2012 | No CommentsElizabeth I faced far more challenging ecclesiastical and liturgical difficulties than either of her predecessors, and yet, characteristically, her solution was more adroit and more oblique.
Some Bloody good reads for Halloween!Posted on October 30, 2012 | No CommentsSome Bloody good reads for Halloween!
"Pillars of the Authority of Princes": Reflections on the Employment of Bishops in the British Isles in the Reign of James VI/IPosted on October 22, 2012 | No CommentsEven if he had never succeeded Elizabeth I and become king of England, James VI of Scotland was well aware of the regional challenges presented by the British Isles, and the limited force of government authority in some of its more remote areas.
The Rise and Decline of the British "Patriot": Civic Britain, c. 1545-1605Posted on October 15, 2012 | No CommentsHume's dialogue provides one of the earliest instances of the Anglophone neologism "patriot" used to describe a participant in either Scottish or English politics. The term itself, however, was far from new: it had appeared in print in Huguenot tracts at least from 1574, following the St. Bartholomew catastrophe.
Oliver Cromwell : Man of ForcePosted on October 5, 2012 | No CommentsThere is no denying the fact that in many instances, Oliver Cromwell was in the right place at the most opportune time and that events often seemed to work in his favor through sheer luck, assuming that he had no hand in them.
Religious Disputation in Tudor EnglandPosted on September 20, 2012 | No CommentsIt may be said that the Reformation itself began with a disputation: the Ninety-Five Theses of Wittenberg, on which Martin Luther offered debate with all comers, and Luther was tulned into a schismatic by another disputation, in which he gave his enemies definite grounds for urging his excommunication.
An Englishman Who Collaborated with the Spanish ArmadaPosted on September 15, 2012 | No CommentsAccording to Catholic historians, this one man is the prototype of all the guileful Jesuits who creep furtively in and out of the plots of numerous English novels.
Francis Bacon's use of ancient myths in Novum OrganumPosted on September 8, 2012 | No CommentsIn this paper, I will show how the ancient myths of Pan, Perseus, Dionysius, and Prometheus have an impact on Book I of Francis Bacon's Novum Organum.
Protestant Bishops in Restoration EnglandPosted on September 7, 2012 | No CommentsCensure provoked defence; from the 1570s onwards, the English episcopate had faced various demands for further reform or else its total extirpation.

If you want to start a thread about Bachmann, please do so.
This thread is about Benghazi. Please stay on topic.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.

Obama and his team fumbled the ball.
It's not like they killed 100,000 plus people AFTER standing on an aircraft carrier off of the coast of San Diego, and declaring "Mission Accomplished."
Or telling the truth about Weapons of Mass Destruction, and talking about "mushroom clouds" before the House of Congress.
Is that the "truth" that you're looking for?
Is that the truth that you and the right wing pundits have got their panties in a twist about?
Suddenly they have a back bone, and want to start calling a White House Administration out on a "lie?"
This American is SO GLAD, that you, the right wing Media, and the Republican Leadership are finally getting with the program.
For someone like you, to make the claim that people like me "don't get it," I just realized that the goal is to see how far the other can get their head up their ass.
Thank you.
I concede and publicly declare you the winner!
Never regret anything, because in that moment it's exactly what you wanted.
But it makes you an anonymous troll when attacking women for their looks.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.

that's against the rules
i don't know what happened
but i want to
call me curious
curiosity is the sign of intelligence
and your personal bullshit attacks are tiring
make up your mind moderator - poster etc
pick one and be good at it
instead of big footing
NO ONE IS ENTITLED TO AN OPINION BUT ME!... says chance.
The problem with Benghazi is NOT that questions are being asked ... in fact UNLIKE Watergate every document asked for is delivered NOT hidden.... no the problem is that re-fuck-licans have already predetermined that the muslim invader of their Whitehorse has a conspiracy in place to willing kill americans and then lie about it.
The reason it remains a under covered story according to some in this world is because everytime the willful neglect theory is tested it FAILS.
But go ahead and pretend your looking for the truth while you constantly berate every poster on the board except lapdogs.
3 people on the ground who know their shit trump jayhawk
sorry is that "berating?"
keep up the new mantra with your poster-moderator support
i'd ask u more questions but i already did and u whiffed
clearly the admin was negligent prior/during and after
shit happens
lying about it is what makes it BS
and ur all good with that
Does anyone actually read all the way to the bottom of his Jenga posts? Just checking.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
who gregory hicks is ?
that the attack happened on 911 ?
that there were repeated requests for more security ?
that while the battle raged for hours upon hours - and no one could know that it would
reinforcements were not called in
did u know that when they decided what to tell the american public, the people on the ground were not asked what happened
did u know that pres. obama lied about what caused the attack?
did u know that the WH told us the CIA changed the talking points ?
then we found out that the state dept. edited them because they did not put forth a good impression of their job?
there's more but u can find out if u look - if u look
when you have something to offer with regard to the topic u should return and enlighten us
and not just do your child-like BENGHAZI thing that for some reason the moderators think is cute or something
See, I just HAVE to stop after the fourth line...
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
THIS is what I'm personally talking about.
Make your FUCKING POINT!
I buried my Dad's Dad back in 1983.
He called it like he saw it.
Either you're an Irish Immigrant, or a WAP... that "tans really well," or just a douche bag who likes Cape Cod.
Either or, or Either Way your priorities are fucked up.
As Moderators we don't make concessions for STUPID.
Never regret anything, because in that moment it's exactly what you wanted.
Hicks has a political agenda. Nothing more. All will be very clear soon, and without the assitance of the republican fucktards who wanna make this into Watergate where it is clearly not. They are just desperate for some reason they wont look like complete shitheads in the national spotlight. THIS will be another miss.
Now it's the "85%", moderators AND admin who are completely wrong in the forum. Everyone but chance and his couple of head nodders.
This thread is beyond over.
And especially considering how well respected they are. The mod especially. Chance must be really confused.

Do you think he's successful? I hear reality is pretty aggressive in NY.
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
The only thing I agree with is he's not confused. Wish there were more Chances.... wish I were better at expressing myself but this issue won't go away now that you can't just ascribe everything to a Fox News obsession. as multiple news sources are looking at this Adinistration's honesty. And I wasn't supportive of a lot of Bush/ Cheney so no one dare accuse me of being a far right, Fox news imbibing dolt. I remember two very powerful, articulate gay conservatives who used to post here, and who would make the 85 sweat a lot because of their gifts with the English language and the art of persuasion and argument. Chance has heart, and genuineness and as I've said counrtless times has repeatedly shown himself NOT to be the wild, raging ideologue unable to let go of an argument ( though as much as he is dissed here by committee I would myself have a difficult time containing my own bitterness if my positions, passionately held, were so thoroughly demeaned and dismissed). Plenty of times Chance will look at differing perspectives if civilly presented. However if there is an issue which seems to be dismissed or minimized, where those who don't hold the liberal line on EVERYTHING are fodder for amusement and sport .... in which Chance is regularly the favorite target because he just won't fold up and go away or feel compelled to blend in like the rainbow conformist automatons you on the left really seek here (outside of your bash the outsider sport, of course. Token pile ons are fun it sure seems)then I certainly understand his defensiveness and prickliness even if I think he shouldn't allow you to get to him and fling your nonsense off as if it were a tingle up nutty Chris Matthew's leg. And when I say "your" nonsense it's addressed to all who do nothing but look for opportunities to rub Chance's face in the dirt. Some I expected, some really have given me pause not in a positive way. I have friends here from different perspectives and respect them all, certainly I want to. I will not see someone I like here demeaned even if it's from another friend though... keep your disagreements among yourselves and don't poison the well.

Sausy, you know the universe laughs at you every time you post about being moderate, center or the like, right?
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
^ lol.
Glad to see though that Chance has such a staunch friend and defender to use a wall of text to bludgeon everyone else on his behalf.
Sorry but we know that Sausy has also irrationally hated Obama so passionately for so long, that to make the claim of being one of the only 'balanced' posters on JUB is risible.
Hicks is a respected 22 year vet on the job
You ?
Hicks has a political agenda ?
Does Hicks post anti republican Obamapologist bullshit every day
Hilarious take on a tragic situation
But u attacked Stevens from the get go do your attack on hicks is par for the course
Oh puhleeze.
And trust you to be so far out of the loop that you missed the entire point of the Sandwich thread but somehow think that it is worth trotting stuff (as usual) from one thread or forum to another when you've got nothing to add of substance. Pretty sad.
You and Fox have come up empty on this topic but are desperate to paint it as the worst thing to happen in any presidency ever. It isn't. We get it. You hate the Dems and Obama with a passion. You are afraid of Hilary taking the WH in 2016. Your panic is palpable.
The only person who has offered more ridiculous observations on the entire mess in Libya than FOX and the JUB 15TM is Cheney...who had the 'big balls' you seem to love to announce that under the Bush regime 'they were always prepared for 9/11".
^ You're wasting your time Canuck.
He lives in a bubble.
Never regret anything, because in that moment it's exactly what you wanted.
I think it's time for the CEP 85% to start reading the news and acting like inquisitive intellectuals.
Your unabashed loyalty to Obama is blinding you.
All you seem to be able to do it attack the people (like Chance and Saucy) who are asking responsible questions and talking about the issue.
The links are easy to read guys -- the ones on ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC. Forget FOX.
There are questions that the Administration refuses to answer ... the media is waking up (I hope).
Apparently only Chance, Springer, Sausy and Reardon are able to process 'information'. Only they and FOX are above 'baseless attacks'. The rest of us will just have to muddle along somehow.
Oh the irony.
You're posting on a message board, for FREE that supports GAY PORN!
DUH!I don't see any interest at all in getting to the truth of Benghazi. No interest in a dead Ambassador, no interest in why the US military was ordered not to come to the aid of Americans in trouble.
Do you think that my neighbors, my friends, and my family are going to get any answers in West, Texas?
How many "innocents" died under Bush43?
Because the Democrats...like always...just sit on their thumbs.
The reason why Benghazi doesn't stick is because most Americans don't give a shit.
They see and recognize everyday that our elected representatives are bought and paid for by "corporate america."
Behghazi is an in-house talking point in Washington, District of Columbia.
Nothing outside of New York Citiy, or LA matters.
Except little winy ass bitches who live near New York City, or cute Latino boys who lived in the Suburbs of Lost Angel ease...who don't post here anymore,
Never regret anything, because in that moment it's exactly what you wanted.
The republicans and their mouthpiece Fox News shamefully politicized the deaths.
If you can't see that then you're really blinded by your hate.
new day - good day - sunny in glamourous astoria - trader joes run done - brunch with mom soon
unfortunately while it's a new day - it's the same BS from the gang that follows the narrative w/o actually reading much less investigating
we have people who trash heroes on the ground - in libya - one who died - others who were involved prior to/during/after the terror attack - he says they suck
we have others who derail threads with bush this bush that
and other who just types BENGHAZI !!!!
this constitutes critical thought it appears
well, critical thought is something else - and here's some of it for ya - happy mothers day from a mother and a smart lady
a couple of pearls but not nearly enough so see if u can spare some time to read it - think about it - perhaps chat about it
vs. what you've been doing
cheers and happy mothers day to all
this week the fog has lifted - for those interested in seeing that is -
this admin is not very good at getting things done for the american people but they do run a good campaign - that we knowThe Benghazi story until now has been a jumble of factoids that didn't quite cohere, didn't produce a story that people could absorb and hold in their minds. This week that changed. Three State Department officials testifying under oath to a House committee changed it, by adding information that gave form to a growing picture. Gregory Hicks, Mark Thompson and Eric Nordstrom were authoritative and credible. You knew you were hearing the truth as they saw and experienced it. Not one of them seemed political. You had no sense of how they voted. They were professionals. They'd seen a bad thing. They came forward to tell the story. They put the lie to the idea that all questioning of Obama administration actions in Benghazi are partisan and low.
why couldn't they just tell the truth ?The Obama White House sees every event as a political event. Really, every event, even an attack on a consulate and the killing of an ambassador. Because of that, it could not tolerate the idea that the armed assault on the Benghazi consulate was a premeditated act of Islamist terrorism. That would carry a whole world of unhappy political implications, and demand certain actions. And the American presidential election was only eight weeks away. They wanted this problem to go away, or at least to bleed the meaning from it.
this week's testimony from 3 respected and credible witnesses - non political ones - provided CLARITYBecause they didn't want this attack dominating the headline with an election coming. It would open the administration to criticism of its intervention in Libya. President Obama had supported overthrowing Moammar Gadhafi and put U.S. force behind the Libyan rebels. Now Libyans were killing our diplomats. Was our policy wrong? More importantly, the administration's efforts against al Qaeda would suddenly come under scrutiny and questioning. The president, after the killing of Osama bin Laden, had taken to suggesting al Qaeda was over. Al Qaeda was done. But if an al Qaeda offshoot in Libya was killing our diplomats, the age of terrorism was not over.
how funny (not really) that at the beginning it was too early to talk about ...... and perhaps that's true and now it's old news per Jay Carney - who must want to quit in the worst way no ?This week's testimony from Messrs. Hicks, Thompson and Nordstrom was clarifying, to say the least.
Mr. Hicks, deputy chief of mission at the time of the attack, said the YouTube video was never an event in Libya, and no one in Benghazi or Tripoli saw what was happening as a spontaneous street protest. Beth Jones, the acting assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, sent an email on Sept. 12 saying: "The group that conducted the attacks, Ansar al-Sharia, is affiliated with Islamic terrorists." Mr. Hicks himself said he spoke to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at 2 a.m. Benghazi time the day after the attack and told her it was a planned attack, not a street protest.
a great read gents - enjoy with your breakfastFrom the day of the attack until this week, the White House spin was too clever by half. In the weeks and months after the attack White House spokesmen said they were investigating the story, an internal review was under way. When the story blew open again, last week, they said it was too far in the past: "Benghazi happened a long time ago." Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, really said that.
You have no idea what you're talking about man. It appears you only listen to what you agree with and don't have an open mind.
The story is beyond what FOX covers ... read about it on ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times and other newspapers.
Putting you head in a hole will not let this story go away. The Administration is going to have to answer questions regarding what happened and why the responded in the way they did.
I couldn't give a fuck about the future of Hillary Clinton -- she's 65 -- an old woman with vision problems who I doubt will have the ability to run for office at age 69.
Nice try Robert -- let's talk facts not conspiracy theories.
The only way that Benghazi can hurt Obama and Hillary is if they don't come clean and tell us all what happened.
Just what exactly is the scandal all about anyway? Exactly what terrible thing did Hillary Clinton and President Obama do that has the right wing up in such a tizzy they can't see clearly?
It's shameful republicans and the right wing are exploiting these deaths to attack their political enemies. Republicans exploit a lot of tragedies for supposed political gain.

The Bookshelf: Harvest to HeatWith more and more chefs taking up the mantle of the locavore movement, we rarely find ourselves sitting down to a menu that doesn't recognize the sources of its ingredients. These small-print acknowledgements often leave us wondering about the individuals who are responsible for getting those products from farm to table. Thankfully, a new cookbook called Harvest to Heat puts artisans and farmers front and center. Its recipes are not only attributed to the chefs who cook them, but also to the small-scale craftsmen who grow, raise, or craft the essential ingredients; every dish illustrates a mutual respect and collaboration between producer and chef. Authors Darryl Estrine and Kelly Kochendorfer have also included captivating profiles on these behind-the-scenes craftsmen, many of whom work tirelessly to advance local- and national-scale causes when they aren't doting on their products. Dave Hoyle of Creative Growers in Nori, Oregon, has introduced Naomi P

Traditional American food is not always easy to define, especially when you live in New York, where ethnic restaurants and New American cuisine arguably reign. At first we think of diner food—omelets and grilled cheese and French fries—but aren't those of French descent? Hamburgers and hotdogs, perhaps, but aren't those from Germany?

On the Menu: Winter Truffle ExtravaganzaIndulgence takes many forms, and for many food lovers, feasting on one of nature's most delicious and elusive subterranean delicacies—winter truffles—is the ultimate.

text: Greetings unto all; I hope this Holiday season finds you all happy, healthy and safe. I am coordinating the merchants for Steppes 12th Night this year (coming year technically? whatever! *lol*), and am putting a call out for merchants. We have 1 or 2 indoor spaces left, however we do have a couple more outside spots available. The outside space does indeed mean you have to bring your own pop-up. Now, do you have to? No. If you want to just have a table out there, and chance the weather, that is completely up to you. However, I would recommend something with walls, or at least partial walls. I am told there will be access to power, so bring extension cords. Long ones. (just in case the power source is farther than anticipated) You can bring heaters for your pop-up, and do what you need. The fee is half for outside what it is for inside. Also, if you want to share a space inside, or are willing to take a 5x5 space, let me know, and you will also be given a reduced fee. Thank you for your time! -Lady Annwn

'I Can Hear the Bombs Falling': Fighting Engulfs Libya
Guns rule the streets. Foreigners are leaving. 'Freedom fighters,' who once battled against oppression, now battle each other. Libya is burning.
Guns rule the streets. Foreigners are leaving. 'Freedom fighters,' who once battled against oppression, now battle each other. Libya is burning.
Global media watchdog organization Reporters Without Borders has released its annual list of "Enemies of the Internet," highlighting countries that restrict online freedom of expression. The list's release coincides with World Day Against Cyber Censorship, March 12, a day the organization started in 2008 to rally the world behind an open Internet.
The world learned Thursday that rebel fighters captured and killed former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who ruled the country for 42 years until NATO-backed rebels overthrew him earlier this year. Naturally, people turned to Twitter to learn what had happened and to share their opinions -- including tweets that were informative, serious or humorous -- about the incident.
U.S. President Barack Obama is expected to make a statement at 2 p.m. ET about the killing of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Reports of Gaddafi's death began circulating Thursday, but the U.S. government has not yet confirmed it. Obama made a similar televised statement to announce the killing of Osama bin Laden. You can watch the live stream here at 2 p.m. ET. SEE ALSO: 25 Twitter Reactions to Gaddafi's Capture and Death [PICS].
As reports of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's death circulate on the Internet, so is a gruesome cellphone photo of what appears to be his severely wounded body and another that appears to be his dead body. Both are likely opportunities for spammers with bad intentions. The first photo was distributed by the news agency AFP after commanders for Libya's transitional military, the National Transitional Council (NTC), said they had captured Gaddafi after invading his hometown of Sirte.
As rebels surround Libya's capital city of Tripoli, widespread tweets are claiming Libyan leader Colonel Muammar al-Gaddafi has left the country. So far, NBC correspondent Richard Engel reports via Twitter that "people are celebrating … still lots of gunfire … but reports from here in Libya still unconfirmed." Follow the tweets at #Libya -- here's a sampling: [View the story "Gaddafi Leaves Libya?" on Storify].

"In this life, one thing countsThe preferred method a Street Urchin uses to acquire stuff — since they're too poor to afford it legitimately — is to sneak it out of their mark's pocket and/or into their own. A Rebellious Princess sometimes does this for the sheer thrill of it, or because they honestly believe they don't have to pay for anything; expect some kind of Freudian Excuse to come into play. The Kleptomaniac Hero also does this to anything that isn't nailed down and/or can be sold for money. Someone with Sticky Fingers does it merely because they want or are compelled to. When this is done to a retail establishment, this is known as shoplifting. Ballistic Discount is a subtrope which adds murder to the ensemble and will likely get you killed if you should ever try it in a real gun shop. Percussive Pickpocket is a method of invoking this trope where the theft is disguised as a harmless bump on the street.

Best Grocery Stores In TO . . . . Where do you shop?
- pancake Sep 9, 2006 04:15 PM
One of my favourite passtimes is going grocery shopping/food shopping. . . . Just wanted to know where others go to buy there food and browse the aisles . . . . Here are some of my fav's:
- La Rose Bakery (for italian bread/antipasto bar/ Cheese)
- St. Lawrence Market (for steak and everything else delicious)
- Loblaws Superstore (for organic/ health products/produce)
- Asian Grocery Store (Lawrence and Black Creek) - feels like I am in Asia when I go there, definately worth the trip for all those asian ingredients. Highly recommended)
- Dominion (for those packaged staples. . its convenient)
I like to shop for small doses often.
I love:
Ambrosia Natural Foods
Big Carrot
Riverdale Farmer's Market (still a few Tuesdays left before they stop for the year)
Merchants Of Green Coffee www.merchantsofgreencoffee.com
If I don't make them myself, sometimes I even go to restaurants for little things like salsa, guacamole, etc instead of buying the inferior grocery store jarred versions.
Hope this helps
re: sweetspotlee
How about Lady york and Next to it City fish Great fish
re: ognir
Here's a web site for some info:
I think grocery shopping in TO is sadly lacking. Has anyone ever been to Larry's in Seattle? I mean, why can't we have a chain of stores like that here? It blew me away. Makes Loblaws look like a no frills.
Ziggy's at Y&S used to be great, but they ruined it with "improvements" a few years ago. (I think it's now called the St Clair Market.)
I agree the grocery stores are pretty lame. Typically I pair my shopping each week. I get all that needs to be fresh & flavourful at the St. Lawrence Market. I then gather frozen/dry goods from either the Dominion Front (very bad) or Loblaw's Market (okay, but no great whoop). I've tried to shop at grocery stores alone in the past for the convenience, but it makes for very disappointing dinners. I will say that at least Sobey's carries Alberta lamb, which I find better than Ontario or New Zealand. That takes a certain degree of caring about the products offered, I think.
I'm always a little embarrassed to go, I but like Whole Foods (Avenue Road/ Hazelton Lanes, right under the Rolls Royce dealership). Whole Foods is a posh American chain. It's kind of fun to watch customers there. You see models with whole carts of water from Fiji, people buying three hundred dollars worth of food.
Not everything is over-priced, but somethings are hideously expensive so be careful. Their fish and cheese departments are stellar. In winter, we go to whole foods as a treat. It's like a vacation in CA.
re: arugula
I was just at Whole Foods yesterday during the film fest and I also feel a bit embarrassed every time. But they do have a great selection of organic drinks and their bakery section is to die for! Also got some really good take out salad bar food. Pricey, so a guilty pleasure every once in a while.
re: arugula
Whole Foods has great specialty items (like soy products for us lactose intolerant folks) that are really reasonable. The bakery makes a fabulous dairyfree chocolate cake that rivals Sweets from the Earth.
The fish and meat selection is awesome and I love the wonderfully displayed vegetables. It's so pretty that you don't want to disturb the beautiful composition by removing an item and making it off balanced!
It is fun for people watching and for grazing. They have the best samples. Yum.
re: mickeyj
We go to Fiesta regularily as well. For its size and the area, it is really good, especially for the produce. Their main weakness is their cheese selection (excepting the Italian and Portuguese cheeses).
re: Brain of J
on the corner of Lawrence and Black Creek (South/East)......drive up in the plaza and its the last store to the right......its VERY asian.....meaning no one speaks english and all the products are imports.....I just had fun going in and not recognizing half the products in there.....plus I was able to find lime leaves to make some good thai dishes!
re: pancake
One of the Fruit and Veggie store in the lower level of the south market sells fresh lime leaves and fresh Thai basil.
It is the store in the middle of the north (back) part of the basement. Beside the chinese hot food stall. Behind the brick wall from the ATM and the choclatier.
Carrot Common for Meats and Produce (plus a few other things) especially if I didn't make it to the Market.
The Market -- as often as I can.
Loblaws for staples and supplies, plus, sometimes for lettuces, breads, etc. . . .
Kensington to fill an afternoon for fun.
T&T (see Kensington)
other than T&T, which has already been mentioned, for a fun browse and picking up a couple of interesting items (it's pricey, so not a place to do a big one), I love Nunzio's on Bayview, south of Eglinton
Other than that, I make do with Loblaws/No Frills/Supercentre.
I was surprised, but I went to the No Frills once at Bloor at Dufferin in the mall and I was amazed, for a No Frills, it's a good one.
I'm very happy to be in the far west end of the GTA in Miss. Nearly unlimited choice ranging from Brandt Meats and Dimpflmeier Bakery, Mike's(All Seas)Fish, Korean+Japanese along Dundas W., Asia Bakery for Afghan breads, H&H+T&T for Chinese, good Italian+Portuguese bakeries, all sorts of S. Asian in Miss and Brampton, and huge No Frills, Highland Farms, Loblaws and Costco for the rest.
re: Kagemusha
Iam new to mississauga and very enjoy living here. Wos wonderingw whether you could post the names/address/url of the good italian and portugese bakeries in 'sauga that you have mentioned in your post above. I found a few of them in some other topics at chowhound let me know how they fare. I would appreciate your help very much.
The Apricot Tree in Sherwood Forest
Perugina on Renforth South of Eglinton.
Molisana Creditview S of Eglinton.
Britannia Italian Bakery
La Sem
Nova bakery...Cawthra & Burnamthorpe (South East Corner)
St Lawrence Market - For everything, especially on Saturday at the farmers market.
El Grande Cheese - For Italian specialties
House of Spice (Kensington) and BJ Supermarket (Little India) - For spices
Perola's - South American and Mexican ingredients
No Frills - For cheap basics
Arz Bakery - Middle Eastern delights
Bonjour Brioche - Baguettes
Whitehouse Meats / Meat on the Beach / Fresh from the Farm - Meats
Kings on Danforth - Fresh produce
Cajun Corner - Southern Spices and Tasso, crayfish, etc
Sanko - Japanese
Gerrard St Chinatown - For all chinese and SE Asian basics
Winners - for condiments - no really, I bought truffle oil(about 500 ml) for $8.99 and excellent vanilla for $20, this weekend
The Cheese Boutique - Only when I am feeling rich
And does anyone know about this Trader Joe's in the states which the American's rave about.
Sun Valley on the Danforth west of Pape is good. And Royal Beef on Danforth west of Woodbine.
re: Ice Queen
Hi Ice Queen,
Googled Ocean's Treasure with no hits. Where on Danforth is it located.
re: Ice Queen
would they cut the fish into particular oz fillets for me?
re: Ice Queen
Thanks, its right by my house. For some reason I always forget about them, but I have gotten wonderful fresh fish there before. Also just south on Pape there is a Greek butcher who we have been getting prime rib steaks from this summer for $7.99 a pound. Cut to order they were delicious.
re: Ice Queen
I can walk to Ocean's Treasure in less than 3 minutes, but rarely do since I can get what I consider to be better fish at lower prices at Bill's Lobster Fish Market, 599 Gerrard St. E. (just a short walk east of Broadview). It's also open till around 7:30 most weekdays.
Try it out, I'd like to hear what you think of it.
Sushi grade salmon is around $10 /lb.
re: Ice Queen
mm perfect
I don't know why i forgot Fresh on the Farm on Donlands. I think they have another location on Bloor. They are only open a few days of the week, but they have organic and locally produced food, fair trade products, and some randon European products that I absolutely love. The people are fantastic, adn they take orders for freshly butchered meat. They don't have everything, but everything they have is excellent quality, local and reasonably priced. It's also just a lot of fun. Food shopping is the only shopping I enjoy. I highly recommend it.
Most sushi restaurants buy from a fish place at Dupont and Dufferin. It's nice, but go early in the day, or all you will find is frozen fish.
Check out Starskys on Dundas St in Mississauga. It is a FANTASTIC european deli supermarket. And it is huge! Love the place. http://www.starskycanada.com/whats-ne...
re: Ice Queen
Thats why i thought it was closed! I will go this weekend to check it out. Loved shopping there on occasion. THANKS!
re: Ice Queen
WOW thanks! Better than ever before and the prices are still very good. We grilled two fabulous rib steaks tonight.
re: JesseJensen
I second Village Grocer. Some of the best meat and produce in the GTA. Downtown Toronto, the Healthy Butcher at 565 Queen West is highly recommended - finest organic meat with the right approach.


text: California Senate Reverses, Backs Cell Phone 'Kill Switch' Print article Send a Tip by William Bigelow 8 May 2014 post a comment The California Senate suddenly reversed itself on Thursday in voting for a bill that would force cell phones to have remote "kill switches" that would let the owners disable them if they are stolen. Late last month, the bill was defeated by a narrow two-vote margin. The bill, SB 962, pitted two lobbies with substantial resources against each other. Law enforcement groups such as the San Francisco District Attorney's Office arguing passage of the bill would deter criminals, while technology companies asserted that the bill was superfluous because the owners of the cell phones would have the option to disable their phones themselves. SB 962's author, Sen. Mark Leno, (D-San Francisco), revealed that because of amendments to the bill he had authored, Apple had decided to withdraw its opposition. One change Leno made was to force only cell phones, and not tablets, to have "kill switches"--and even that change would not take effect until July 2015. The San Francisco District Attorney's Office said that over 50% of all robberies in the city dealt with mobile devices, and 75% in Oakland, according to the Sacramento Bee. Republicans had opposed the bill because of its potential costs to business. Having passed the State Senate, the bill will be considered by the State Assembly.

After the U.S. Supreme Court properly ruled in 2010 that a full handgun ban in Chicago was unconstitutional, the city found a way to get around the ruling and, in effect, to keep its excessive gun-control rules on the books.
It declared that guns were technically permissible inside a private home if the owner were trained in handling a firearm. But that "training" requirement included practice at a firing range — and Chicago forbids firing ranges inside the city!
So a person who wishes to have a handgun in his home for protection is forced, at his expense, to leave the city to seek out the necessary training.
That is plainly unreasonable, and various groups and individuals have joined a federal lawsuit to overturn the anti-Second Amendment ordinance.
Gun owners obviously should handle their weapons responsibly. But government should not set up gun restrictions so burdensome that their practical effect is to forbid gun ownership.
chicago is a democrat party dictatorship. pretty much a socialist thugocracy. being a native of the
area i can say that from first hand experience. it's amazing how democrats continue their assault
on law abiding citizens who want to own guns. chicago is a city overrun by criminals..and there's
no sign of it changing.
at least 4 people were shot this weekend in Chattanooga.
As the number of impoverished families increases,so does anger and frustration at the inability to survive playing by the rules. American society is slowly breaking down and at the individual level,owning a gun seems like a logical response to greater numbers of "dangerous" people.
Guns,however,are not a cure,not even an effective palliative for the problem. Guns are the individual's reflex reaction to problems beyond the individual's control and will actually make America worse.
