Mighty morphin' HillaryDecember 06,2012Everyone expected Hillary to lower the boom on Bibi Friday night.
The bullying Israeli prime minister is fond of demanding that America set red lines on Irans nuclear ambitions. But he blithely stuck a finger in the eye of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Clinton Friday and went over a red line for successive U.S. administrations: Israel gave the White House only a few hours notice that it was defying the U.S. and planning new settlements in the most sensitive territory east of Jerusalem, a move that Washington fears could obliterate any prospect of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
If such a project were to go beyond blueprints, Jodi Rudoren and Mark Landler wrote in The Times, it could prevent the creation of a viable, contiguous Palestinian state by closing off the West Bank from East Jerusalem.
The brazen and counterproductive action, designed to punish the Palestinians, flouted the Obama administration, which had Israels back twice recently: in the clash with Hamas over Gaza and, despite increased diplomatic isolation, in opposing the successful vote to upgrade Palestine to a nonmember observer state in the United Nations.
The provocation preceded Hillarys speech at the Saban Forum at the Willard Hotel here Friday night. The conference on the Middle East is run by Haim Saban, an Israeli-American media and entertainment mogul from Beverly Hills who is best known for three things: bringing the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers from Japan to America, being a vocal supporter of Israel and lavishing the Clintons with donations. (He gave $5 million to the Clinton presidential library and $5 million to the Clinton foundation and avidly supported Hillarys 08 bid against Obama.)
Last year, at the Saban forum, Hillary infuriated some Israeli ministers when she said she was alarmed about the rights of women and antidemocratic bills proposed by far-right members of the Netanyahu government. She talked about her dismay at learning that some religious Israeli soldiers walked out of events where women were singing and that some buses in Jerusalem operated under gender apartheid reminiscent of Rosa Parks, as she put it. So, many in the audience this time assumed that the outgoing secretary of state would lay down the law to Bibi on settlements, and they were surprised when she pulled her punches and made only a mild reference, eschewing the word settlements.
These activities, she said, set back the cause of a negotiated peace.
She said the Palestinians could have had a state as old as I am if in 1947 they had made the right decision or if they had worked with my husband in 2000. And she urged Israel to be generous toward the Palestinians. But she didnt whack Bibi, as he deserved.
Many there came away assuming that it was the beginning of Hillarys 2016 campaign, that she was thinking about her future rather than her present. Her reasoning, they reckoned, was this: If Obama doesnt want to have anything to do with the settlement issue, if hed rather spend his time in Myanmar than Israel, then why should she stir up trouble with Israel and her pro-Israel supporters on her way out the door?
And aside from the dog that didnt bark, there was the video that roared. A film that introduced Hillary featured leaders and Israeli pols including Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, Shimon Peres and Tzipi Livni gushing over the secretary.
In a dispatch headlined Hillary Is Running, David Remnick, The New Yorker editor, wrote: The film was like an international endorsement four years in advance of the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary.
How can we focus on Barrys transition when Hillarys is so much more riveting? Far from being depleted and ready for a spa, shes energetically rounding up the usual suspects. She took steps to solidify her relationships with some Democrats by sending hand-signed notes to candidates who got bested in close congressional races, offering them encouragement and succor, The New York Observers politics blog reports. That provided a marked contrast to Obama, who did not bother to rally Democrats in his acceptance speech.
Clinton also reached out for the first time to reunite her Irish-American fundraisers and top supporters. IrishCentral.com reports that Kris Balderston, a Hillary aide at State, sent invitations to several prominent Irish Democrats who raised millions for her Senate and presidential runs to accompany the top diplomat to events in Dublin and Belfast this week. Although other possible 2016 contenders, like Joe Biden, Andrew Cuomo and Gov. Martin OMalley of Maryland, have Irish connections, Hillary is the cushla, or darling.
I hope this means Hillary is running, said Niall ODowd, the publisher of IrishCentral.com and other Irish publications in New York, who is joining the secretary in Ireland at her invitation. She has enormous strength in the Irish-American community because of the Clintons massive role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland. Shes a country mile ahead of every other contender with the Irish.

In search of Jewish Mother Grizzlies
There is an old joke that states a genius is an average student with a Jewish mother. And that may explain in part why Sarah Palin has just announced she is planning to visit Israel. Perhaps just what the average student turned presidential candidate needs is the love and protection of a bunch of Jewish Mama Grizzlies.
Of course, Palin's announcement … and the similar announcement by Mike Huckabee … is evidence of something else. It is a clear sign that the Republican right thinks Barack Obama is vulnerable on Israel policy. In the same way that you already see potential Republican presidential candidates combing over the wreckage of Obama's past bastion of support on Wall Street, this gravitation to the Holy Land is less spiritual and more calculatedly opportunistic.
Not only have the administration's efforts to restart the dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians been fitful and recently, embarrassingly confused, but behind the scenes Israelis are yearning for the good old days of Bush and the neocons. Or of Clinton and Rabin. Or of Bush, Reagan, Carter, Nixon, or, in fact, virtually anyone else. The reasons for these feelings are manifold. But even those who wanted to give Obama the benefit of the doubt are themselves now doubters.
There is an irony in this, of course. Because any clear-eyed assessment of what has gone wrong on the Israeli-Palestinian front demands the conclusion that Obama is not the problem and that changing U.S. leaders is hardly the answer. The needed political changes are not only much closer to home for the Israelis (and the Palestinians) but they are less changes about people and more about attitudes and circumstances.
Israel's biological clock is ticking. Demography is changing the country and its political landscape profoundly. The Israeli Palestinian population growing in ways that will, in a comparative blinking of an eye, make it the country's majority population. There has also been a major shift in the nature of Israel's Jewish population, now more diverse and divided than at any time in the country's history. Both factors make progress and compromise difficult.
Further, global public opinion is arguably more on the side of the Palestinians right now than ever before. As just the latest sign of this, Brazil last week officially recognized Palestinian sovereignty.
The United States is suffering a bad case of Middle East fatigue. The Europeans never really wanted in. And all of a sudden the Chinese are playing a decisive role in the region thanks to their leverage as a growth market and their willingness to deal with Iran and others among Israel's enemies. Ultimately -- watch this space -- Chinese unwillingness to engage in a meaningful way on the Iranian nuclear issue will be a critical contributor to Iran gaining, as it almost certainly will, nuclear weapons.
In short, Israel's position is weakening. Netanyahu is only exacerbating the problem and the Palestinians are happy to dither in the interim because they know which way the wind is blowing.
Which brings us back to Palin, Huckabee and company. Politically, their math adds up. Barring an incredibly unlikely positive development on the negotiations front, Obama is likely to be seen as lukewarm on Israel at best, his initiatives ineffective and consequently he will be open to criticism that he has not been an effective friend. (Let's defer to a different time the arguments about whether or not he has effectively advanced U.S. national interests -- that's not what I'm talking about here. This is not even about just a "Jewish vote" were such a thing to exist or be materially important. Just to be clear the much bigger "pro-Israel" vote they're after is from the religious right.) No, on a broader level, it's about weaving a narrative for right wing and independent America that Obama has backed off from or undercut traditional U.S. positions associated with past U.S. strength.
Agree or not regarding the implications for U.S. policy in the region, these predictable moves by Palin and Huckabee provide important insights into how the battle of 2012 will be waged and what kind of picture of the president his opponents will paint.
For the Israelis however, don't expect that even with a biblical name, biblical values and reflexively pro-Israel views that Sarah Palin is the answer. This is not just because of the debates that will surely ensue when Palin argues that life begins at conception and the Jewish Mama Grizzlies counter that it only begins when your child graduates from medical school. It's also because while she may be able to field dress a caribou, she can't undo the transformative history of the past 20 years. (To be honest, it seems fairly unlikely she is even aware of it.) And that, regardless of who is the president of the United States, is what will lead to the coming crisis for Israel that will almost certainly be the greatest of its existence.
And while stale the old Jewish jokes are running through my mind (and this post), that of course reminds me of the famous Jewish telegram which reads: "Begin worrying. Details to follow."

Denver proposes $3.3M jail abuse settlement
Denver officials have reached a deal to pay $3.3 million to settle a federal jail-abuse lawsuit.
The proposed settlement, announced Tuesday, would be the largest such settlement in the city's history. It still must be approved by the city council and the federal judge overseeing the lawsuit.
Among other allegations, former jail inmate Jamal Hunter alleged that a sheriff's deputy not only allowed but encouraged a group of inmates to brutally attack him and scald his genitals with burning water in July 2011.
About two weeks later, jail surveillance video recorded Hunter being choked by another deputy.
The allegations led U.S. District Judge John Kane to request a Department of Justice investigation into the practices of the Denver police and sheriff's departments.
Word of a settlement came a day after Denver's sheriff resigned.

Women's Rugby World Cup hosts France remain on target for the Grand Slam in the Women's Six Nations but England, Ireland and Italy are only two points adrift in the standings after three rounds.
France proved too strong for winless Wales, winning 27-0 at the Talbot Athletic Ground on Sunday, although two late tries from centre Shannon Izar and wing Marion Lievre made the scoreboard look better for the visitors.
The sides were separated by just three points at the break with France leading 3-0 after Sandrine Agricole's penalty, but Wales would have fancied their chances in the second half with the elements in their favour.
However basic errors and poor handling gave France the opportunities they needed with the first try coming within five minutes of the restart from Assa Koita after Wales failed to deal with a missed penalty attempt.
Agricole converted and then scored France's second try just after the hour mark. France's big pack then started to turn the screw on their opponents, and while the Welsh rear guard soaked up the pressure, the two late tries were disappointing for coach Rhys Edwards.
"We thought that if we were in the game at half-time we could kick on and win it. We thought that with the wind behind them in the first half the score would have been bigger than 3-0 so we were really positive coming out for the second half," Edwards said.
"We knew the opening five minutes would be key. Even at 10-0 down we were the dominant team – the message was quite simple, get out of our half and keep pressure on them but they got an opportunity and scored another try.
Ireland to do it the hard way
"The last five minutes isn't acceptable at this level. A good team punishes you. We pride ourselves on our defence, at times we are probably better without the ball, but the last six or seven minutes isn't acceptable."
Defending champions Ireland saw their hopes of back-to-back Grand Slams disappear after a 17-10 loss to England at Twickenham on Saturday, although they head the pack chasing France by virtue of their better point differential.
Ireland fell behind to a try from number 8 Sarah Hunter as England signalled their intentions to avenge a 25-0 loss to their visitors in Ashbourne in 2013. However, a Niamh Briggs penalty and then a try for scrum half Larissa Muldoon edged the Irish into a 10-7 lead.
However, England went back in front before half-time as player of the match Emily Scarratt sent winger Kay Wilson over in the left corner, a score coach Philip Doyle described as a "killer blow" to his side.
The loss of the impressive Briggs, a constant threat from full back, and centre Jenny Murphy was another blow for Ireland, while losing Lynne Cantwell and Heather O'Brien to the sin-bin in the second half didn't help their cause.
In reality defence dominated the second half and England made certain of victory with replacement flanker Marlie Packer's try on the hour mark, leaving Doyle's side to "do it the hard way" if they are to defend their first Six Nations title.
"I still think we can win the Championship. We just have to do it the hard way now," conceded Doyle.
Italy too strong
Cantwell added: "We won the Grand Slam last year and that's money in the bank, an incredible achievement. But I don't think you'd be a competitive person if you didn't expect to build on that.
"You don't just stop there, there's more in us. We still have more in the tank and that's what we need to keep on striving towards. The Six Nations is still within our reach and that's what we're going for."
Italy meanwhile bounced back from their defeat to France a fortnight earlier with an emphatic 45-5 victory over Scotland at the Stadio Parco Urbano in Milan on Sunday, the home too dominant for their misfiring visitors.
Flanker Ilaria Arrighetti scored Italy's first try in only the third minute and Italy were quickly out of sight with tries following for Michela Sillari and Manuela Furlan, together with the boot of Schiavon making it 24-0 after only 21 minutes.
Replacement Beatrice Rigoni added another before half-time and there was no let-up in the second half with back row Sara Barrattin and Rigoni touching down. Scotland did have the final say with a try from Annabel Sergeant, but it was nothing more than a consolation.
That try provided Scotland's first points of the competition as they seek a first Six Nations win since 2010. In the next round they will face the unbeaten France at Howthornden on 9 March, a day after Italy play Ireland at the Aviva Stadium with England and Wales kicking off the action on the Friday.
Scotland coach Jules Maxton said: "We made basic errors out there and that cost us dear. We need to perform more effectively and we need to maintain focus for 80 minutes. This team can do better but they didn't help themselves."

MANKATO, Minn. - After finally finding out Brett Favre won't be joining them, the Minnesota Vikings are getting ready for training camp.
The majority of players and coaches are scheduled to arrive at the dorm at Minnesota State University on Wednesday evening. Everyone is required to report by Thursday, and the first practice is Friday.
Now that Favre decided to remain retired, presumably for good, the attention turns to quarterbacks Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels.
They'll fight for the job they were already going to compete for before the Vikings' high-profile pursuit of the NFL's all-time leading passer.
Teammates openly lobbied for Favre throughout the spring and summer, casting doubt on the internal confidence in Jackson and Rosenfels.

FoxIT update defends against PDF peril
It's not only Adobe Reader that needs patching against maliciously constructed PDF files. Targeted attacks against an unpatched flaw in Adobe Reader over recent weeks has stimulated interest in alternative PDF viewers, such as FoxIT. However FoxIT is also vulnerable to the same type of threat, promoting the release of a security …
Eating in the dark
Back in the day, sailors used to eat in the dark so they wouldn't see the maggots that had infested the foodstores. That kind of reminds me of Foxit. A few days ago it was safe:
Now it isn't:
But it's more fun to hate Adobe, right?
Even if Foxit is not 100% safe
It's also not a slow bloated pig. I've just installed the 3.0 update for Foxit... where is the Adobe update?
@Funky Dennis
Yes first Foxit is safe because they use their own JBIG2 code to process images.
Quote "Foxit uses our own JBIG2 decoder and it handles those malicious JBIG2 stream gracefully (empty image will be displayed instead of crashing)." More fool me for believing them.
And then Foxit go and fix the non existent vulnerability. So did Foxit programmers code the exact same flaw into their own JBIG2 code. Or did they just reverse Adobes and "borrow" Adobe code?
"But it's more fun to hate Adobe, right?"
No not at all, just more righteous ;-)
Mr Creosote
> But it's more fun to hate Adobe, right?
Well yes, but also it's more 'fun' to open a PDF quickly in a reader that doesn't default to loading 467 other add-ons and plug-ins before it will show the file, and [even after you've turned everything off] has a software footprint that makes Internet Explorer look lean and trim by comparison.
Adobe lost the plot somewhere around Reader 6, and Foxit and the other alternatives now fill the need for a quicker, smaller viewer.
Software bloat, thy name is Adobe Reader. However recent releases of Foxit seem to be getting a bit over-multi-functional and sluggish as well ....
Classic FD! I wonder why no one has called "Grace" on that?
Did they not bother to check?
Hey, El Reg, why not ask them for a comment on their "rigorous" testing procedures.
Paris, because she likes he buffers probed.
Oh, really?
"......but because the security bugs in Adobe's software are the focus of targeted hacking attacks over the last three weeks or so."
But surely if FoxIT has the same vulnerability it doesn't make any odds to the severity of the weakness which product the attack is targetted at?
If you shoot someone, I'm sure that the fact that you were actually trying to shoot someone else doesn't make your victim feel any better about being unexpectedly dead......
How about formatting for
my computer screen? Or better still a small part of it!* Then I wouldnt have to bloat my computer with Pointless Document Format and have to print all that trash** that comes in a PDF document that I cant read on screen - only to find its mostly useless anyway.
*nothing more fun than having to print out the 'how do do the paperless office' instructions cos you can use them alongside the IDE cos they are formatted for paper.
** contents and indexes that are almost never linked to the document, and talk about pages that bear no relation to the real page number
PDF - a bit like the red flag of office software to slow your computer down but a different colour to be 'innovative'.
its not just me then
i am glad I am not the only one that thinks adobe reader is a bloated pile of shite. I actively avoid bloody pdf files when at all possible.
And for Preview?
Does Preview on the Mac suffer from same difficulties with PDF files?
Foxit virus
In the past, but if it could happen once...
But at least FoxIt has the balls to fess up to it, instead of trying to deny deny deny and sweep it under the rug like some other companies do.
@AC 10 Mar 20:48gmt
re: And For Preview?
Not that I know of; I only use Preview because I can't seem to find any other alternative PDF readers for MacOS for some odd reason.
Still, I'm kind of stuck with the Dried Mud Software Corp's Acrobat Pro on my machine as I work in graphic design, send out proofs and finals as "press-ready" PDF, and only Acrobatshit can display them properly for a final look before I send them out. Otherwise, I avoid Acrobatshit like... like...
...well, like Paris.
(yeah, yeah, I know, alright... finish beer>coat>door>subway)

Carly Rae Jepsen Sex Tape: Actually in Existence?!?by Hilton Hater at . Comments
A Minka Kelly sex tape is reportedly in existence and may be shopped to the highest bidder in the coming days.
As you process that (sexy!) stunner, consider the following report: Carly Rae Jepsen may also have pulled a Kim Kardashian at some point in her past.
We have very little information on this alleged video, but Perez Hilton has posted photos from the supposed tape and... well... the mostly naked woman at the forefront does look an awful lot like Jepsen.
Click on the preceding link to see for yourself.
We'll confirm or shoot down this claim when more news breaks, but in the meantime, this much is certain: Carly Rae performed at the Teen Choice Awards last night!
UPDATE: Jepsen shot down the rumor this morning with the following Tweet: "Crazy morning. Discovered that someone put up a sex tape claiming to be me. Ridiculous. Obviously not me."
it wasnt him then he got a girl pregnant i lost repcest for him then but he took a dna test wasnt the father then he threatins paprazi forced a fan off his arm at a concert and beat up an old guy and made rude comments about michle jackson as far as im concered hes just trying to redeem himself here
That is not me! Ugh I hate liars! Y would I do a XXX sex tape thts dumb! And I'm not dumb!
This is such an OLD story, THG you should be ashamed. This was debunked WEEKS ago, and the actual chick in the video came out and debunked it herself... THG and Perez are fucking old news and a waste of time.. I am no longer following you guys for the latest gossip.
UPDATE: She claimed on twitter that is isn't her :)

Colorado State Patrol is calling their holiday heat a success after initial statistics show no one died in a DUI-related crash this New Year's.
The enforcement period, which lasted from Dec. 28 to Jan. 2, included increased patrols by CSP and local law enforcement.
Across the state, troopers suspect four injury crashes involved alcohol and/or drug use, and 81 people were cited for DUI/D.
Here in Grand Junction, CSP investigated a fatal accident in the Redlands on New Year's Day, when a vehicle hit a man walking down the road. Troopers think the pedestrian was intoxicated.
Even though the crackdown has ended, CSP urges Coloradans to make the resolution to plan ahead, designate a sober driver, and never drink and drive.

Racist Reg hacks slammed for 'vitriolic hatred'
Our recent piece of silliness entitled So, what's the velocity of a sheep in a vacuum? was generally well received by you, our beloved readers. Sadly, though, it didn't go down quite as well in one small corner of west Wales: I found the manner, tone and contents of your article offensive and I suspect in breach of the Uk …
Sheep Shaggers
Good bloody grief. Piss off you boring tosser. No sense of humour at all. Tell you what, if El Reg wants to talk about sheep shaggers, us Aberdeen fans are more than proud of the fact, so next time there's talk of sheep, spare a thought for the Dons and leave the boring welsh to moan amongst themselves.
"We're only sheep-shagging bastards!" (TM)
this welsh man laughed
so there!
besides i dont see ne kiwi's or ozzies complaining and they got way more sheep than wales.
I suppose you also find baa baa blacksheep an opressisve hymn, doubly racist in your eyes no doubt.
if you aint worked it out the english just give us shit cus they are jealous, get over it you hyper sensitive tit.
Nice try but...
It's iechyd da - not lechyd da. I know the Reg tries hard and changes the banner on St. David's day - but sadly your welsh credentials have taken a knock.
The flame is well over the top but I didn't find the article funny either. Ooh, sheep shagging and Wales. Hilarious. You must be up for that Perrier award thing.
Mind you, it was probably enough to make an Englishman laugh...
Oh dear
A Welshman walks into a pub with a sheep on his shoulder. The landlord asks, "Where the f#@k did you get that. "In Wales" the sheep replied, "There's thousands of 'em over there"
I'm Welsh, albeit resident in England for an arbitrary time period. I laughed.
Someone need to get a sense of humour
I think Mr. Bevan could do well to take a leaf out of the book of an ex-colleague of mine who was from Wales. When confronted by the inevitable 'sheep shagger' comments, his only reply was 'We shag them and you eat them!' See, Mr Bevan, that is what is technically known as a JOKE, as is the original article.
Too Easy a Target?
I do think the Welsh and Wales do get a bit of a raw deal from actual and would be comedians. They are a bit of an easy target and I guess it does somewhat rankle with some of them. Is it our only remaining "legal" racial target remaining? Have we given up with the Scots and Irish? Perhaps the Cornish should be next?
Nick - no Welsh blood but a touch of sense perhaps.
Bee-gorrah and bee-gosh
next they'll be saying associating an Irish man with a pint is racist!! Some people really need to remove the stick from where the sun dont shine
Now, im off to pick some potatoes and drink some whiskey and beat my wife!
Croeso Cymru
WTF is complainant D Bevan on about? To me, the piece made only affectionate mention of Wales.
If Mr Bevan wants to make the mental jump between Wales, sheep and bestiality then it is in his own head: nowhere did El Reg suggest that Welshmen like to shag sheep. Nor did the article imply that the Welsh have red hair - being acused of tending to ginger would be legitimate grounds for complaint.
As a quarter-Welsh myself (and from personal experience), the fact is that in the north of their country, the Welsh insist on using their gutteral 'language' to annoy English speakers. What's more, they burn down our holiday cottages. In the south, they slouch about on street corners blaming us English for destroying their mining industry (which, to be fair, our Tory government did). So the Welsh can hardly complain if they are widely perceived as belligerant, touchy, and chippy. As, indeed, Mr Bevan's letter confirms them to be.
Next up: complaints from EU grapefruit-growers.
PS: what is the Welsh word for 'wanker'?
Somehow I think...
... that D Bevan doesn't get out much
sheep of light
I would have thought this disclaimer from the original article
"Clearly, the difference in these two results means that a compromise standard is required. The El Reg Ssx uses the classic Cheviot as its sheep of choice, with a wooldrag of 50. Wm is in this case 0, since everyone knows that Welshmen do not in fact have intimate relations with sheep and any reference to the same is just a cheap attempt to drum up laughs."
was enough to head of any outrage unless some one is, like a closet republican, protesting to much about sheep innuendo.
My girlfriend is Welsh (when she wants to be!) and she thought it was funny.
Actually, she's from Cardiff, which I gather is not "real Welsh" - apparently the "real Welsh" discriminate against and generally dislike people from Cardiff more so than they do the English; you know the tricks - talking perfectly good English until an Englishman walks in and then suddenly deciding that Welsh is the language of the moment and refusing to speak anything else!
...or is that just my imagination and racial prejudice coming through? :-)
Angry Welshman
Clearly your angry welshman could not see past the thick redness of anger in his eyes (possibly due to the hint of truth that he may well be a wooly creature comforter) to read the following sentance in said offending article -
The El Reg Ssx uses the classic Cheviot as its sheep of choice, with a wooldrag of 50. Wm is in this case 0, since everyone knows that Welshmen do not in fact have intimate relations with sheep and any reference to the same is just a cheap attempt to drum up laughs.
truth hurts I guess
Shouting "racist" for no reason...
... makes society more lethargic when acts of REAL incidents of racism occur.
What a plank.
...there some of them unhumour welsh git!
Get a life!
OK D.Bevan was over the top but compounding the article with
with further ignorant jibes has made the Reg writer look the stupid one
Who was "Owen Glyndwr"? Why does he have an Olde Englishe titled beer named after him and what on earth is "Lechyd da" supposed to mean?
I suppose the basis of most predjudice is ignorance.
Cymru am byth.
Quite obviously some people lack sense of humour
So should all proud owners of airbags and funbags (and their significant halfs who have vested interests in the matter) from another well known small country complain against el Register under both the race relations act and sexual discrimination act?
Having lived there for twenty odd years somehow I would expect not to. For a multitude of reasons like:
A) Their sense of humour has not been amputated at birth.
B) The air/funbags in the original car incident which coined in the phrase belonged to a beginner serbian style "turbo-folk" starlet. There it is a tool of the trade. You can't deliver entertainment primarily oriented to drunk international trucker audience without having the appropriate tools for that.
C) The actual average cup size in the aforementioned air/funbag country is actually 1-2 sizes less than the UK. So besides race relations and sexual discrimnation, defamation is also quite fitting. If your sense of humour has been amputated at birth that is. If it has not - you laugh :-)
Next time...
When dealing with small country members, you should drop the vitriol and go for the most appropriate tone: Pity.
'Nuf said
Well I don't know about your friends...
But everyone I've showed it to in Wales found it just as funny as all the English people I've showed it to! Methinks you need to get to know a livelier bunch of people ;-)
Here we go...
... with comments like Mr Bevans' causing the Welsh to look like a bunch of humourless, whining windbags with nothing better to do than conduct Ned Flanders-esque trolls through the media looking for words like 'sheep'
I'm Welsh and thought the article was great... I didn't even think it discriminated against vacuums
If El Reg succumbs to this type of 'Political Correctness' (an oxymoronic statement) I'm gonna stop reading
Oh by the way it's iechyd da, not lechyd da you racist, barely-coherent bunch of Wales-haters!!! :-)
All that ranting about the article is no more than a pathetic rant of "politically correct wanking".
Ha ha
Bloody hell D. Bevan. That article had nothing racist in it. Are you sure you aren't just making it up because you are bored? And what gives you the right to demand apoligies eh?
And to the Register, great article, and nice response to this nutcase.
Oh, and I forgot, I am Welsh, and this article was great.
IMHO, The Vultures are not racists...
IMHO, The Vultures are not racists. They seem to hate everyone equally, at least until we die. Then they feast on our rotting equally. No fuss, no muss...No harm, no foul...
You talk about converting the size of Wales in the opening paragraphs to imperial measurements, maybe she inferred from that you were talking about a French-inspired Metric Wales, and not the classic British Imperial Wales. Maybe thats what set her off, I mean the idea of a non-British wales would set of a lot of people.
As an Englishman living abroad
As an ex-pat I'm often teased about my Englishness. I've also been teased by Welshmen too.
It really isn't a problem, I think you have to allow room for good natured humour, even if some people are offended. In reality it's a difficult line to draw when this becomes unacceptable but I'd say El Reg are no where near that line now.
If UK law makes jokes like this illegal then I think the UK is in more trouble than I ever imagined.
Incidentally, yes I would joke with a West Indian, or anyone else, about stereotypes etc. It seems the Jamaicans, at least, are happy with this looking at a recent Jamaican advert with the "total gridlock" line. In fact there was also the noodle mining advert that was apparently OK for the Welsh.
It seems to be that it's part of becoming an adult to learn to laugh and put aside childish insecurities. This doesn't grant people the right to abuse one another but it gives space for people to get along.
Get a life
How was the article racist ? The whole article was in jest, and the only bit that could be claimed as racist was about men chasing sheep (no mention of sex), which had the sentence
"since everyone knows that Welshmen do not in fact have intimate relations with sheep and any reference to the same is just a cheap attempt to drum up laughs."
A few words to Mr. Bevan:
Cau dy geg ac dos i chwarae efo dy nain
Welsh aren't a race
They are the same race as the rest of us.... human.
Hey Vultures, get over it...
Hey Register, most of the time you guys hit the spot, but this time i think you've got it wrong..
The OP made a point ,you may not like it , but the article did take the micky out of the welsh and that bloke did not find it funny. So sense of humour failure maybe but "FotW"?
If you make a joke at a minoritys expense expect some response from that minority. Be big enough to say "OK we're sorry" not hold the complaint up for the world to ridcule as "FotW"
The "flame" he sent you is hardley worth the title , it seems thought through, lacks grammatical errors (unlike this post) and express's a legitamate concern."Vitriolic" is over the top for what was an attempt at humour , but by giving this FotW status you just draw your attention to what is a very old joke about sheep and welshmen.
<Cough>Anyway , everyone knows its the Kiwi's that are the real sheep botherer's these days.</Cough>
I read that article and found it very funny. So funny in fact I sent it on to my mother (Who's Welsh), my boss (Also Welsh) and many other people who may, or may not, have also been Welsh or sent it on to others who were.
None of them were offended. At all. Not even slightly. Some didn't find the concept of sheep in vacuums and their velocity funny, but then again they were generally fans of the Mighty Boosh and as such have no sense of humour!
Anyone offended by that article really needs to have a quick reality check and deal with whatever deep-seated insecurities they have .... and there's plenty of merriment and mirth thrown around about all of the Countries that make up the UK.
Any comments posted after the article should not be held against the Reg as they are only allowing us the freedom of speech which is pretty much central to the ideals of Democracy.
Now fuck off back to Valleys you annoying Taffy bastard. (And yes, thats something I do say to my boss quite a bit...and he finds it very funny, stop being so over-sensitive)
WTF? Welsh? Sheep ?
I'd hate to think that the El Reg were singling out Mr D Bevans fellow country men as the ONLY lovers of our fluffy little sexy friends? Have you no respect for the Scots? Aberdonians would like to disagree with you!
I found the manner, tone and contents of your article offensive and I suspect in breach of the Uk race relations act.
"Under the Race Relations Act, it is unlawful to discriminate against anyone on grounds of race, colour, nationality (including citizenship), or ethnic or national origin. All racial groups are protected from discrimination."
I fear that Mr D Bevans could be right, not only were the Welsh singled out for being sheep lovers... but they discriminated against the Scots by NOT including them in the article!
Bevans, take your political correct bullsh!t and stick it up your hairy @rse! It's people like you that are ruining this fine country. We'll, you and accountants, not that I'm singling them out or anything... fook it, add lawyers to the list too.
If you cant laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? (well, the English, but thats another story)
no guesses where I'm from :P
Get a life
Its a laugh. Bet you would have laughed it up if it was about an English bloke or a scot or any other apart from the good proud welsh. I found it funny. Racism is getting used as the word for anything the individual doesn't like, to fight the many with. Soon there will be a race finder general and he will be burning folk at the stake for using the t**fy word or the N***r word. people get a grip we are better than we used to be on accepting other cultures and races. Hell, the benny hill show was so bad but made millions laugh every week but now its practically banned. I demand an apology.... for what been welsh and having no sense of humour????
Owen Glyndwr was a Welsh prince. (The last "real" one? I can't remember.) He's featured in Henry IV.
The "Sons of Glyndwr" were a Welsh terrorist group who burned holiday cottages to discourage English holiday makers from visiting Wales. (Hence the old joke, "Come home to a real fire, buy a cottage in Wales")
The Sons of Glyndwr have mostly disappeared now, although some of them might have moved to Cornwall...
Obviously not a regular...
...as any regular Reg reader will know that Vulture Central is one of the few IT sites to consistently tip its hat to St. David's day.
Mr Bevan, I know quite a few Welsh people and they constantly extract the proverbial from the English; happily the average person, English, Welsh or otherwise, is secure enough in their own nationality to take this kind of humour with the pinch of salt required, whilst carefully edging away from scary nationalist types who tend to foam at the mouth and shout at the TV a lot.
Defaid am byth
.. is what a friend of mine from Amlwch claimed was the motto of those with over-developed ovine tendencies.
What about the sheep?
I fail to see any evidence of racism in the article (although I am detecting a serious sense-of-humour failure from the complainant). What worries me, however, is the article seems to support the notion of placing sheep in a vacuum. My Dyson doesn't have a bag, and the hose is quite narrow - I don't think any amount of suction is going to help. Also, does the drag factor differ between a cylinder and an upright? And will it damage the wool? I would imagine that at the very least, it's going to cause a bad fleece day...
@Next time...
"When dealing with small country members, you should drop the vitriol and go for the most appropriate tone: Pity."
I'm a cnut remember.... :-)
(oh wait. I'm only half Welsh)
What ISN'T funny....
Is the barstewards they gave us for neighbours.
Welsh exile
West Wales = English
If he's from West Wales likely as not he's from Pembrokeshire. Notice how they refused to change the name to a Welsh one.
Anyone with a predominantly ovine agricultural industry is referred to as sheep shaggers. The English tend to shag goats, as in the article a few weeks ago.
I'm Welsh, I approve of this joke. You weasely English cunts.
The right to take offensive
.. and the right to be offensive
That article was deeply offensive...
to sheep!
As usual, I had to keep myself from laughing outloud in the office with that article.
Troll: (n) someone who intentionally posts messages to cause controversy
Maybe I'm just too naive, but I find it difficult to believe that anyone can really be /that/ touchy.
welsh for wanker....
pretty sure its wanker
Re: Actually...
Bore da!
It is very true that the northerners don't consider those in the south east of Wales as actually Welsh. But you know what the southerners say? The northerners are the piles of Wales. If the come down and go back up again that's fine. But if they come down and stay down they're a pain the arse.
My parents live in Wales and I have Welsh ancestry and I laugh at being called a sheep shagger...
Hwyl fawr
Don't blame Mr Bevan
If he's from West Wales he's probably just bitter that the M4 and fast rail service to London ends at Swansea - thus preventing his rapid escape from the Land of His Fathers.
I was one of the lucky Taffys to live near Cardiff and got out more.
It made me titter.
@Adrian Jones
I think Big Tim's point was that there's no such person as Owen Glyndwyr. He was actually Owain Glyndŵr.
Ok, so it's an entirely pointless and pathetic complaint, but it's a bit tame for a FoTW! Where's the hopeless spelling and grammar? The inappropriate use of capitals? The mindless swearing and threats? And he might have at least questioned the IT relevance of the original article...
Learn to laugh...
...at yourself. It's a great sign of maturity as a person, being able to see what's funny, even in your own life. Otherwise you take offense at anyone who is different to yourself. And that IS one small step away from being a racist.
(...and I myself being from South Africa, we have to laugh at ourselves all the time!)
@Adrian Jones RE: "Owen Glydwr"
You seem to have missed the point.
" *Owain* Glyndŵr" was the person you describe.
Still no idea why he'd have a beer named after him in Olde Enlgishe language or what "Lechyd da" is supposed to mean.
I didn't find the original article offensive, D-Bevan was way overracting.
The stupid jibes afterwards were just that and made the Reg look stupid and ignorant (as do many of the comments that have followed e.g. : "gutteral language").
RE: welsh for wanker....
Can't be wanker... there's no K in the Welsh alphabet (probably wancyr :-) )

Growing oats for extra pasture, hay, silage
By Noel Mues
If you are interested in having some extra pasture and hay this spring, oats might be an option. There is still time to plant oats, and they might be one of the surest ways to provide feed for your cattle.
Oats make an excellent source of forage for several reasons. First, oats can be grazed earlier than anything else you plant this spring and are often ready for grazing about a month after planting. Oats grow during cool spring weather when rain is most likely to occur and when soil moisture is used most efficiently to produce forage.
Another advantage of oats for spring pasture is the low cost of seed. Also, oats can be used in several different ways. If the forage isn't needed for grazing, it can be made into hay. Oat hay makes ideal feed for young livestock if it is harvested when the plants just begin to head out. Oats make excellent feed for stock cows and yield will be increased by about one-third if harvested for hay during the milk stage.
If rainfall is adequate and pasture isn't needed in the spring, oats can still be harvested for grain and straw. Oats that are planted under irrigation can be grazed or cut for hay early enough to permit double cropping to soybeans or a summer annual forage crop. Or under this situation they may even be double cropped to corn for silage.
Drill about 3 bushels per acre by late March or early April and oats will be 6 to 8 inches tall and ready to graze in early May. With good soil moisture and 30 to 60 pounds of nitrogen, oats can provide a couple months of grazing for 1 or 2 cows per acre.
For an inexpensive and reliable temporary feed source this year oats may be your best option.

Speaking to the Huffington Post on September 5, Kerry said: Constitutionally, every president, Republican and Democrat alike, has always reserved to the presidency, to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, the right to make a decision with respect to American security. Bill Clinton went to Kosovo over the objections of many people and saved lives and managed to make peace because he did something that was critical at that time. Many presidents have done that... A lot of presidents have made a decision that they have to protect the nation. Similarly, Kerry said "Obama reserves the right in the presidency to respond as appropriate to protect the security of our nation." Follow AWR Hawkins on Twitter @AWRHawkins.

Chicago Bears misspell Shea McClellin's name on jersey
Chicago Bears defensive lineman Shea McClellin's name has a slew of "L's" in it, and it looks like the team's equipment managers had forgotten about one. Oops.
Chicago was playing Minnesota, and for the occasion the Bears sported 1940-style jerseys. Unfortunately, we didn't have spellcheck back then.

Would you take your ex back even when environment isn't supporting?
My family and friends don't support my ex because he behaved very bad. He didn't beat me but didn't show up on a appointment with the parents, threw water at me during a fight, doesn't know how to appreciate things.. He says he changed and that he want to do it right this time. We broke up before. we Haven't been in contact since 30 nov until today. do you think he really loves me or just wanna have sex? how do guys feel about this situation?

Get to know him first, see if he actually changed because talk is cheap. He can tell you he's changed and he loves and respects you, he's sorry about his bad behavior and wants to make it all up to you. So tell him you might be willing to take another shot with it, but that you wanna take things slow and you want to get to know the "new him" first so you won't end up hurt again.
Don't let old emotions control your actions. this boy didn't know how to respect you or your family and shouldn't be in your life. If you were so important in his life he wouldn't have messed things up in the first place. remember many people can act as if they changed for a few weeks and go back to their old ways.. give yourself and your family the respect you all deserve!

Good food but marred by poor counter service
- Overall
- Food/Drink
- Ambience
- Value
- Service
Tasty, wholesome food.However turned off by the counter staff-always seem to be the same lady serving the counter every time we go there for family meals.No smile,no thank yous ...rather blunt way of speaking with a flat facial expression.worse still,got our orders wrong as well and used gesturing (instead of talking politely) to tell us to bring our trays away to clear the counter.The food is good but given its prices I would expect better service befitting a place calling itself a restaurant.I would say,Macdonalds staff definitely fares better in terms of service.It will not hurt to put on a smile ,lady.The customers do not owe you your living.The dining experience gets affected if you care about things like service.

Using All-Flash Arrays to Solve Tier-1 Database Problems
By Pure Storage | 24/3/2014
Latency is the life-blood of any database application.

new capacity,
Mississippi Silicon,
Rima Industrial,
John Correnti
CHICAGO Globe Specialty Metals Inc. is not concerned about potential new silicon metal capacity in North America, citing increased demand and low energy costs, according to the companys top executive.
Recently announced projects also might not impact the market for yearsassuming they are ever built, Jeff Bradley, chief executive officer of the silicon metal and silicon-based alloys producer, said during an earnings conference call with analysts Feb. 7.
"Markets are improving all over the world," he said. "So as time goes you will see more capacity come up. ... As demand continues to grow, there is more capacity that will be needed."
That ramped-up demand comes from growth in silicon metal-consuming markets, such as automotive aluminum, solar energy and silicones, Bradley said. Asian demand is firm, European demand is rebounding and Canadian demand has expanded by 25,000 tonnes due to a successful trade petition that New York-based Globe filed against Chinese silicon metal (amm.com, Nov. 19), he said.
Given high power prices in Europe and elsewhere that are forecast to increase, Bradley said it makes sense to locate production capacity in North America, where energy is less expensive. "When you look around the world, one of the best places to manufacture is the United States," he said.
In the United States, Mississippi Silicona partnership between the Vicintin family, which owns Bocaiúva, Brazil-based Rima Industrial SA, and Clean Tech I LLC, a U.S. investment group whose members include steel industry veteran John Correntiplans to spend $200 million to build a 36,000-tonne-per-year silicon metal plant in Burnsville, Miss. (amm.com, Jan. 2). In Canada, Grupo FerroAtlántica SA has announced plans to spend $375 million to build a silicon metal plant in Quebec (amm.com, Feb. 4).
But Bradley questioned whether the facility in Canada would be built, brushing it aside as "just an announcement" and noting that permits have yet to be issued. "Once they get the permits, its going to probably take three to four years to get a plant up and running if they actually do."
Bradley also dismissed concerns about overcapacity in China, arguing that Beijing is "finally" pushing to shut down polluting and inefficient silicon metal plants. He estimated the silicon metal market at about 2 million tonnes per year, with Chinese exports accounting for about 400,000 to 500,000 tonnes.
While Bradley downplayed the threat of excess Chinese silicon metal in the global market, he also stressed that Chinese-made silicon metal is locked out of U.S., Canadian and European markets because of dumping cases, and a pending investigation in Australia could see Chinese silicon metal pushed out of that market as well.
All comments are subject to editorial review.

After a methodical 30-14 choking out of the Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon, the Texans moved to 2-0 on the season, Bill O'Brien becoming the first of the Texans' three head coaches in their short history to win his first two games.

The early time of death was surprising. But with a painful illness that we already knew to be fatal, perhaps it's a relief for everyone involved.

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) is a rare and complex lymphoproliferative disorder, clinically characterized by widespread lymphadenopathy, extranodal disease, immune-mediated hemolysis, and polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. Significant progress has been made in the understanding of AITL since its recognition as a clonal T-cell disorder with associated deregulation of B-cells and endothelial cells within a unique malignant microenvironment. However, as the responses to conventional chemotherapy have not been durable, prognosis with current treatment approaches has remained dismal. Here we review the clinical presentation, prognosis, and management of patients with AITL. We discuss recent developments in the understanding of the pathogenesis of AITL at a cellular and molecular level, including the implication of the follicular helper T-cell as the corresponding cell of origin, the roles of Epstein-Barr virus, B-cell deregulation, angiogenesis, and other signaling pathways in AITL, and the therapeutic implications of these findings. Finally, we discuss recent clinical trials and novel treatment approaches in the management of patients with AITL.
