These guys are blinded by greed. DC is flooded with islamic lobbyists and our senators are stuffing their offshore accounts.

Tuesday was a bolt out of the blue for the Country Club Republicans. They are scared.Interesting how vicious they are when it comes to Grassroots Republicans. These are the same guys the Rovettes tell us are just really good conservatives and we must vote for them to re-take the Senate. You know, the guys who send letters and invite them for coffee?Just remember, John Cornyn is part of the group helping the slimy Thad Cochran.

The GOP Establishment´s reaction to Cantor´s loss tells us all we need to know about who they are and why they do what they do.A teachable moment. I hope America is watching.

But.. but.. a few weeks ago these same GOP "leaders" were proclaiming that they have embraced the policies of the Tea Parties and there was no further need for them.Baloney.After Cantor´s defeat, the gloves are off. The Establishment has been "outed". The Establishment continues its war with the Tea Party movement. It´s them or us.I say, it should be us.The NRCC and NRSC have a lot of influence in primary races, with all that CofC money they can throw around. Their influence diminishes, however, in the general elections. If the GOP Establishment wants to dig in for the remaining primaries, then we can dig them out in NOvember.We can vote to defeat Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Lamar(!) Alexander, John Boehner, Paul Ryan, and others in the general election.Time to replace this corrupt and feckless party with a new one.The country is sinking fast into dictatorship, and we need an effective opposition party to stop the Democrat juggernaut.The GOP "ain´t" it.

Rather stomps on the phrase "power to the people". Truly, the elite permanent political ruling class did not see this coming after the 9% approval rating, and the recently published book, Throw Them All Out by Schweitzer? Not sure of the spelling of his name, but it was a very informative book.

Why blame/credit the tea party who had very little to nothing with this election? Heres a flash for the dolts in the media and the elite pubbies. Rumor has it the vote was about immigration- illegal immigration. The tea party stands for "taxed enough already". Why is this so hard for you to understand.?

FTA: "No amount of money or mudslinging can drown out the will of the people when they engage the system," McDaniel said.Amen to that! The Brat victory proved that money does not always predict the winner.

Now, as others have mentioned before, they would expend 1/10 of their energy and political capital fighting the TRUE opposition instead of the conservative wing of their own party, we might get somewhere.

LOL - The GOP apparently hasn´t learned that the "TEA Party" isn´t a party. It´s millions of citizen patriots whom they can´t control. And as Dave Brat´s victory proved, money isn´t everything.

They still treat red-blooded Americans with contempt.My prediction is that the GOP will actually assist the Dems in driving the USA right into the cesspool of socialism. I´m losing hope much more rapidly these days. To the GOP, it´s not about America any more, it´s about their own personal enrichment and holding onto power.Our country is doomed, and trust me when I tell you that I am very saddened that I´ve even found it necessary to say that.

We can´t win every battle, but we can win enough of them such that they begin to realize we´re watching how they vote, what they say at home vs. what they do in DC and we are prepared to remind them that nobody is indispensable. We are also learning as we go. For example, Lindsey Graham ran against too many opponents. The Tea Party needs to settle on one, and the grassroots can focus. Meanwhile the first stage of grief is denial….

It won´t be a "Surprise" when McDaniel slaughters Cochran on the 24th!Donate to McDaniel now.Also, donate to the Democrap opponents of The Bonner, McCarthy and McConnell in September/October and if possible, vote for those same opponents in November.Consider the same for Ryan and a few others.Axing several establishment RINOs from the House and replacing them with Donkeys would not change control of the house but sure as hell would send a message.I´d also love to see Alexander and Graham get the rug pulled out from under them but that would probably nix taking control of the Senate in this election cycle.Kafir

Got a call last night from a paid GOP National Committee fundraiser. After I told her that I would not be contributing and may well re-register as an Independent, she indignantly asked "You´re still a conservative, aren´t you?".I was so shocked by her temerity, I could only hang up.

Why can´t the GOP go after Obama with the same zeal that they go after the Tea Party people that got then the majority in the House? Do they not understand that we are not good little solders that will just blindly pull the leaver for whom ever they say we should. We are not liberals after all we know how to reason and think.It seems to me that they are trying very had to emulate the left in how they treat us the people that put them into office. I am starting to think that they are to stupid to understand that the Tea Party people hold them in the same contempt as we do the left and will do all they can to remove them.

We know the tune they sing - "Pander to the Left for a little mainstream love, honey!" - and we reject it.Principle before profit. Ideas and Ideals before expediency and the aura of social acceptability. We chauffeured Boehner et al to the ball but they think we don´t wear deodorant or something so they won´t dance with us.

How much of this is just a media-driven kerfuffle? Too many voters pay too much attention to the few elites in Washington and their opinions. It´s time for voters to expend a little energy and look into the candidates views and voting records and then make up their own minds. The screeching and arguing on so-called TV panels is just to get attention, avoid the real issues and sound as if they will do something. It´s just entertainment. Maybe Washington GOP is stunned but those of us outside the beltway will just go on as before and do the best we can to survive this stupidity.

FAR: ´´Why blame/credit the tea party who had very little to nothing with this election?´´The Tea Party did not dump a lot of money on Brat, but they DID have a lot to do with the election because many of the voters belong to a Tea Party (there is not just one) and they voted for Brat.

Due to retirements, Garden City Public Schools is welcoming two new administrators: Dawn Cerrone will serve as the director of Athletics and Physical Education, and Lynette Abruzzo was appointed as the director of Pupil Personnel Services.
Cerrone was awarded her building and district administrative certificates from Albany's College of St. Rose in 2008 and 2009, respectively. She received her Master's in Health Education from Hofstra University in 1989 and her Bachelor's in Physical Education from St. Bonaventure University in 1986.
Long Island University (LIU) announced that Garden City native Dr. Kimberly R. Cline has been honored as a 2014 Distinguished Leader in Education by Education Update.
Past recipients of the publication's Distinguished Leader in Education awards include: Harold (Terry) McGraw III, chairman of the board and former president and chief executive officer of The McGraw-Hill Companies; Dr. Susan H. Fuhrman, president of Teachers College, Columbia University; and Dr. Lisa S. Coico, president of The City College of New York.
The Stewart Manor Board of Trustees began its most recent meeting in high spirits, presiding from the newly-renovated, cherrywood justice's bench in village hall.
Mayor Tangredi offered up thanks to the court system for providing the grant that paid for the improved bench. Trustee John R. Egan also was in fine fettle in his return after missing previous meetings due to health issues.
The Garden City Public Library's Board of Trustees and Library Director Lisa Paulo are dedicated to continuing the patron-friendly atmosphere in the library. It is an experienced and dedicated panel, who with a knowledgeable staff under the direction of Library Director Lisa Paulo, will continue to develop interesting innovations. The trustees anticipate many productive years ahead.

It might not be cold enough to build a snowman, but that hasn't stopped Elsa from Disney's Frozen from parading the streets of Garden City this summer. In fact, young Disney fans in the village went nuts at her last appearance at the Garden City Promenade, a weekly event on Seventh Street.
Gina Naomi Baez, famous for her impersonations of the Disney character Elsa, performed at the promenade twice last Friday, Aug. 9. For her first performance, she disguised herself as Elsa and sang hits from the movie Frozen. These included "For the First Time in Forever," "Do You Want to Build a Snowman," and of course, "Let It Go." Prior to the show, Baez also signed Elsa's autograph for the crowds of excited children attending the event. She let parents snap photographs of their kids with Elsa. Some of the girls, so enthusiastic to meet her, had even dressed in their own Disney princess attire for the occasion.
Newscaster Tom Brokaw once said, "It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference." If anyone knows the truisms of that quote, it's the members of the Stewart Manor Beautification Committee. It's a sentiment echoed by Mayor Gerard Tangredi who had this to say about this all-volunteer organization:
"They're hard working residents that take care of their families and homes but still find the time to volunteer. They try their hardest to keep Stewart Manor a great place to live in."
Garden City Public Library's Children's Department will be exhibiting "Highlights From Children's Literature" through Aug. 28 in the library's showcases located at 60 Seventh St., in Garden City. Kids of all ages are sure to enjoy seeing a variety of dolls and stuffed animals paired with coordinated books in this collection. Young readers are encouraged to join in this year's collaborative "Fizz, Boom Read! 2014 Summer Reading Club" program. Come check out fun stuff for kids!
Calling all park rats, You are cordially invited to a Tullamore Park Old Timers' Day Reunion that will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6 to honor George Roth and Richie Anderson for their years of service to the Garden City Recreation Department.
For all of you who have memories of spending most of your youth playing at the park, it's a chance rekindle old friendships and play a game of softball or kickball and remember all the good times you had at your second home. There will be a $30 fee for all those who plan on attending (children are free) that includes a spot on the team, a T-shirt, and food at Doc O'Grady's immediately following the games. All proceeds collected will be directed by the Friends of Garden City Arts, Parks and Recreation for general park improvements.
A local art studio is offering a workshop at Adelphi University on Thursday, Aug. 21, to help people design their own Creative Cups—turning ordinary bras into works of art—for the Creative Cups Fund Raiser that will be held next March. Artists Denise Collins and Laura Bykowski, owners of The Mermaid Art Studio of Long Beach, will guide participants in the design of their Creative Cups and help them reach their artistic vision. They will also help participants with the registration and submission process. The completed bras are due by Oct. 15.

This studio has proven to be a valued asset to the curriculum, School and University for many reasons. Promoting the University and SA+P in the public view, demonstration of unique and experimental design and construction methods, contemporary cultural and environmental concerns, and providing for a sense of identity and pride among the students in our program. As well, the studio provides them with hands-on education in the many aspects of designing and then constructing a project of significant scale. This year, the studio is being led by adjunct faculty, Architect David Lopez and BEAR Lab Coordinator, Brian Stansbury, and is focused on the student experience in SA+P and the CBEIS building. The 11 students in the studio have been hard at work during Summer Session I, developing skills and exploring the processes of making, and are now finalizing the proposed plans to construct two small structures that will compliment the outdoor spaces surrounding CBEIS. The two structures are meant to create an engagement between the students and visitors to the building and some of the exterior spaces not typically occupied. These two intimate "spaces" are designed around the complimentary activities of Laughter, and Contemplation, and are intended to provide interesting and thought provoking destinations for visitors to enjoy at there leisure. Dr. Keith Jackson addresses students about their project Student stands by design build project Provost, Dr. Keith Jackson cuts the ribbon for one of the projects Students gather around Space of Contemplation Student enjoys work from afar View from Garage Brian Stansbury and Dr. Keith Jackson talk about the project.

Bathroom ceiling bubbles
I repainted the ceiling in my master bath about a year ago. The old paint was adhered well, but I went over it with Zinser primer and top-coated with Duron semi-gloss. I'm now seeing some bubbles in the paint, primarily in the area directly over the shower stall. The bathroom has a good fan that works well.
What are the right prep steps and products to permanently fix this issue?
Bathroom ceiling bubbles
Is the Duron paint suitable for bathroom with high moisture content? Otherwise you`ll have to scrap off the bubbles and re-prime the ceiling.

jasmine market - burmese food - thx j. gold!
- modernist Jan 11, 2008 01:47 PM
went for lunch today
nestled inbetween a particularly shady looking "chiropractic" office and a hyrdoponics warehouse is what must be the only burmese joint west of the 605 and the great restaurant golden triangle in whittier.
ok i'm a jonathan gold neophyte and i was particularly pleased to find his review of this spot in the la weekly, and that its just close enough in my lunch radius.
in 2004 i spent about 3 weeks travelling myanmar. the capital city of yangon, the magical spiritual city of Bagan, the serene glassy waters of inle lake and the cultured mandalay. honestly, i wasn't in love with the fish and shrimp paste and tumeric heavy room temperature stews of burmese cuisine but it was a fascinating mix between indian, chinese and thai flavors...
the family running jasmine market and deli are some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, and the clientele includes japanese hip hop scenesters, halal seeking muslims, ethno bohemian hipsters and jonanthan gold worshippers. many people came in talking about the article which the family still hasn't seen!
before 5pm on a weekday the dishes are going to be basically indian food, but on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays there are some typical burmese dishes, including the national dish mo-hinga (fish stew with banana tree root), as well khaut swe (cocount chicken noodle soup) which thailand explorers will know as khao soi, which is a staple of chiang mai cuisine. there is also a tofu dhut (mixed tofu salad) as well as asawn dhut (large mixture salad).
the family has exchanged thanakha (yellow face paste) and longyis (cloth skirt) for paul smith glasses and levis, but the cooking is spot on... so far i've only tried the lamb biryani (friday special) and the samosas, but i'll be back for more dishes as well as the burmese dishes, and im pretty excited to do so.
you can also pick up an issue of the mandalay gazette or the burma herald to catch up on news on burmese american rappers and catch gossip snaps of yangon hotties.
I stopped by for a late afternoon lunch a few months ago. I thought that I had read on CH that this was a Pakistani market w/prepared food and as you report it is not. I agree that the family was lovely and the Indian food that I tried that was made to order was pretty darn good. I have to go back now and try the Burmese dishes!
thanks for the heads up, i've driven by the place countless times and will drop in and try out the eats and the food sounds good!!
I almost emailed Mr. Gold to complain about outing 'my' place. Oh, well.
Jasmine Market and Deli
4135 Sepulveda Blvd, Culver City, CA 90230
re: Jerome
i have yet to try the burmese dishes at jasmine and thats all that i've ever had at golden triangle. so i'll have to get back to you on that one...the menu is far more limited than golden triangle thats for sure... they only cook about 6 burmese dishes and the rest are more standard fare..
bobthebigpig, yes, the tzatziki-ish / raita-ish cucumber dip was very spicy.. i was going to ask what was inside but they started to get busy around 1pm...
This is one of my favorite lunch spots and I'm glad to see it get some deservingly good press, although I'll be sad when the valet parking goes in and the plate prices jump to the $15.00 range. The first time I ate there, the young man told me they were thinking of having BBQ dishes and asked if many American people liked BBQ. I assured him that this was so, and suggested he put the BBQ outside where folks on Sepulveda can see and smell the action; unfortunately, he explained that various city codes make this difficult.
The people there are terrific and the food is exotic and delicious. Try the curries and the cucumber/yogurt salads laced with hot peppers. Tandoori chicken is good too.
i went back with four other friends last night and had a great meal eating:
more indian:
garlic naan
beef boti kebab
aloo puri
keema paratha
mixed vegetable curry
more burmese:
mohinga (fish soup)
kaut swe (chicken coconut noodle soup)
khaut swe dhut (noodle salad)
asawn dhut (mixed salad)
and ended the evening with some pistachio kulfi..
we got to meet the dad and hes just as rad as the rest of his family. it was quite a lively scene last night with a huge family group and other tables with kids running around....
apparently there are about 1000 burmese in the LA area and this guy knows most of them... even if the food sucked, they are so rad that i'd go there to eat and support them...luckily the food is really good.
the mohinga and coconut chicken soup were favorites.. the two salad dishes were similar. and had that flavor, that i remember eating in myanmar. but i cant place what it is. they were the most different tasting dishes. mom oversees all the cooking (and the flavors feel like youre being served at someones home), dad mans the register, kids are there around lunch.
re: modernist
Nothing new to report except to say that this place is still going strong, and that was hands-down the best lamb curry I've had in L.A. ("lamb boti kebab" - *not* a kebab; basically stewed pieces of meaty lamb bones, onions and chilis - photos greatly aid ordering. Served with naan, everything super-fresh and homemade not in the rough-around-the-edges way, but like you've been invited into the home of a far superior cook.
One thing - the dish took a solid 20 min. to arrive, and there was no one ahead of me in line - I may order ahead next time.
I had dinner there tonight, and was very impressed! I had the lamb biryani, which was tender, fragrant and delicious. It was a huge portion too - I was completely stuffed and still had about half a plate of rice left. And at $6.99 it was a great deal. They have even better lunch specials from 11-4pm daily. I can't wait to go back, and try their other dishes.
re: echoparkdirt
if you haven't already had the catfish noodle soup that they only make on weekends, definitely get it!

Martha Not Returning for 50th Anniversary
Will Martha make an appearance for Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary? According to Freema Agyeman, fans shouldn't hold their breath.
There have been rumours brought on by some of Agyeman's comments previously. However in a recent interview Agyeman claims she will only be doing publicity to help promote the big occasion.
Agyeman told Crave: "I'm doing two things for the 50th but nothing to do with being in the drama.
"I got misquoted hideously once saying that there are some rumblings going on about being involved in the 50th in terms of the drama. It's not. It's in terms of conventions and interviews and things like that, which we're all doing stuff to promote the 50th. We have to. It's the 'Doctor Who' family and we want to.
"I think in terms of my involvement in the show, that's a different thing now. It moves on, it changes and that's a good thing."
So looks like another companion we can cross off the list…

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. (AP) -- Phil Hughes allowed only three hits -- one, a two-run homer by Matt Jocye -- in five innings, and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-2 Wednesday. After walking Carlos Pena to lead off the bottom of the second inning, Joyce cranked a first-pitch cutter to dead center field for his third homer of the spring. But that was all the offense Tampa Bay could muster. Hughes, who is contending for a rotation spot and looking to rebound from an injury spoiled year, was otherwise effective. He struck out three and threw 50 of his 73 pitches for strikes. Kyle Farnsworth, J.P. Howell and Burke Badenhop combined for five scoreless innings for the Rays. Jeff Niemann started in a minor league game rather than face the AL East rival.

Energy minister gives grudging nuke endorsement
UK Energy Minister Chris Huhne has given a ringing endorsement of nuclear energy and lauded the potential of thorium reactor technology, in his speech to the Royal Society today. Actually, he didn't – that sentence is entirely a Johann-Hari style fictionalisation. Huhne did give a speech to the Royal Society on nuclear energy, …
"Careful readers will note that without the burden of CCS, gas is by far the cheapest of all: and likely to fall dramatically as onshore unconventional reserves are exploited. We'll have more gas than we know what to do with."
So lets just fall into the trap! Lets just waste this resource until in 30 years or so were are back to square 1. Wow, was this comment considered in any way?
Except that for there to be any sort of "trap" to fall into there, there would have to be no other major developments in the next 30 years or so. E.g. to pluck an obvious one out of the air, workable Fusion power.
History is not on your side here.......
That'll be sorted in about 50 years time. That still leaves a 20 year gap to fill.
Any other major development can only realistically come from fission power, which the western world seems to be trying to sideline as much as possible, hindering the sort of major developments we really need.
Fusion has been going to be ready in about 25 years since research started just after world war 2. It's probably not worth pinning hopes on it. If it is ready, that's great, but it has a consistent history of looking like it's just about ready for a very long time.
ITER is being built, and the roadmap to DEMO is pretty much outlined to be on schedule by 2050. Unless NIF beats ITER to the game, which would bring fusion closer...
Get real
How long before the idiots we elect to govern, regardless of political persuasion, realise that unless they spend billions in research into fusion (cold, warm, tepid or whatever), building new or replacing old fission reactors is about the only reliable way we're going to keep the lights on around these parts in the not too distant future?
Short of surrounding these shores with flocks of whirling windmills or tidal flow turbines and continuing to plant even more in what's left of our green and pleasant land (before the new planning bill covers it in concrete & tarmac) , use what's left of our coal reserves (heresy, fancy thinking of that) there's no RELIABLE, immune to changes in weather, wind, whatever, electrical source to provide enough to keep my Mac running so I can read El Reg.
Build enough and we might be able to sell some of the output back to the Germans?
uneconomic and cheapest?
Er. So nuclear is uneconomic, but it's also the cheapest base load option? Can anyone tell me how that isn't a contradiction?
Cheap is uneconomic.
Poverty is wealth.
Powercuts are illumination.
(Yeah, that was a bit tenuous)
Look, it's simple...
If you're in the green, anti-nuke lobby, you don't have to be consistent, sensible, or even coherent.
You spread FUD, then some more FUD, and then some more. Then you fret about Tsunamis hitting Norfolk. Nuff sed.
Tsunamis hitting Norfolk?
Ever heard of the Storegga Slide?
Storegga Slide
OMG it was in 6000BC! Only eight thousand years ago!! In the f*cking bronze age!!!
And don't forget
Nuclear is still uneconomic after the taxpayer assumes all the disposal and insurance underwriting costs. Goodness only knows what it would be like if the nuclear industry had to pick up its own costs.
A minister who gave the nuclear industry a ringing endorsement after its relentless failures to bring projects in on time and on budget would be a minister who hadn't read his brief. And judging by the former flag bearer for the whole nuclear industry: Olkiluoto 3 in Finland; we're in for a whole raft of substandard construction, cost overruns (now 50% over budget) and delays (at least 3 years). Strange how the nuclear business has gone so quiet over Finland.
Nice to see the old thorium chestnut again. It's been a while since that brand of snake oil was given a good marketing. There isn't a single thorium reactor operating in the world. There isn't a licensed thorium design in the world. There isn't a prototype thorium reactor operating in the world. Nor is there a reprocessing plant to deal with the thorium cycle, nor even an international agreement to regulate the mountains of highly fissile U-233 which would be produced.
But there is .....
A tide generator that is producing the amount of power forecast as well as solar and wind power generators in the UK producing the forecast amounts of electricity 365 days per year in accordance with the lovely brochures that were sent out.
Oh sorry, just realised that old chestnut won't go away either since to date none of the renewable energy sources we are currently subsidising such that our fuel bills are over priced whilst the City and the companies involved make a fortune, is anywhere near producing the level of power that we need them to.
On the other hand, existing nuclear power stations continue to provide consistent levels of power and of course the people we will have to buy future power supplies from, the French are busy building new nuclear power stations.
Nuclear is the only option we have, we need to research new, safer methods of production but in the long term it is the safest and cleanest means of producing power.
Well, that might be a problem if we somehow had another ice-age, and didn't notice - to pile up moraines again.
you'll note the Norwegian coast has been surveyed pretty intensively, to check for potential for antoher such landslip - in order to understand the risk to oil and gas installations.
anywhere else you want checked?
the proponents of tidal power always forget one toher thing - although it's predictable, it's still intermittent - with all the problems that causes.
The Severn barrage as most recently proposed would cost about £20Bn. It's advocates quote it's PEAK power output - about 10GW. That's what it's make at the usual highest spring tide of the year.
On most days, it'd make 8-9GW - at peak.
But over a month, it'll average a LOT less - about 1.8GW.
In any given day, it'd run through a cycle of starting with peak output, gradually declining to zero over 6 hours or so. Then (as the reservoirs refill) it'd produce nothing for six hours, until coming back onto full power, then declining again, and refilling again.
So, dependent on the time of day when those peaks and troughs occur, I've got to cycle lots of other plant in and out - like, half of the entire current gas fleet. The implications of that would be dropping the capacity factor of those gas stations from about 65% to around 30%.
Then think about the implications of the fact that, ovr a month, the timing of the two peak outputs.
At this time of year, demand varies through 24 hours from a peak of about 47GW down to about 22GW and then back up again. Peak covers about 3 hours. is about 7pm (demand will be above , and demand is pretty much flat at a minimum from about 11 pm until around 5am. What's basically done is the the most efficient/lowest marginal cost stations run 24 hours as baseload (Sizewell B typically refuels then runs flat out for about 18 months until it needs to refuel again, for example). Accomodating the Severn Barrage means I can't use 22GW of plant in that efficient mode - I can use 12GW.
Worse, I've a 50% probability that one of the peaks of output from the Barrage would happen in that low demand period, and a 25% chance that one will coincide with the peak demand period.
To cut a long story short, integrating something like the Severn Barrage into a reasonably efficient grid, where other plant can run even close to optimally would be an utter nightmare.
It's not a contradiction. Nuclear is the cheapest low-carbon option, but if you force it to compete with high-carbon options that have externalised their environmental costs, it loses.
Actually I urge everyone to follow the link to the speech. It's not half as wild as the article suggests and (allowing for the fact that the Huhne seems to find it emotionally difficult to turn his back on an anti-nuclear childhood) reasonably sane. He *is* calling for a new generation of nuclear stations. He just doesn't want to write a blank cheque. Since I'd be underwriting that cheque, I'm inclined to agree with him.
Most of the swipes he takes at the UK's past exploits in the nuclear field are painfully true. The civil program was always hobbled by the priorities and the secrecy of the military one, and building the Magnox reactors to 11 different designs was quite astronomically stupid. If we are to avoid similar stupidity in the new nuclear program, we need to be able to admit that.
RE: Tsunamis hitting Norfolk?
"Ever heard of the Storegga Slide?" Yes, an event that would first need another extended ice age to create the underwater silt build-up necessary for a repeat, which kinda suggests we're not going to see another Storegga Slide soon. Of course, don't let those simple facts stop you Greenpeckers screamning about it like it was a reasonable idea.
No: "as the reservoirs refill) it'd produce nothing for six hours"
If it is designed like the Rance Estuary scheme then it will produce power for those 6 hours as the water flooding into the reservoir turns the turbines,
Backwards, you might say.
No, there are two tricky periods, around slack water, when some otehr way of storing energy has to be used if you want continuous power.
Alternatively, you could sell power cheaply when the turbines will be spinning, and more expensively when it comes from other sources, and let power-users adjust themselves.
The tides have an advantage of being predictable for arbitrarily long times into the future, so scheduling is not ridiculous.
Olkiluoto 3
The latest delay, announced here in Finland a couple of days ago, takes operational power generation by OIkiluoto 3 to 2014, a delay of five years from the original date.
Many of the delays have been due to the detection of substandard work, as you note, and one to the fact that a crucial part of the safety plan wasn't yet ready [*]. The long chain of subcontractors has complicated matters, and there has been at least one strike at the plant due to lowest-in-the-chain workers being paid a pittance. I'm sure that encourages quality work. Not.
And this was supposed to be a shining (no pun intended) prototype of a modern nuclear power plant which Areva hopes to sell many more of. After the fiasco of Olkiluoto 3, I wouldn't be so sure of that anymore.
Oh by the way, is the Register now of the opinion that climate change is, in fact, happening? This article was missing the usual snide comments on the matter, and in fact repeated the standard concerns of increased carbon output. Or is Lewis Page The Register's only denialist? And why isn't he doing his thing anymore?
[*] http://www.ecology.at/nni/index.php?p=site&s=207 says:
The Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority Finland (STUK) has asked Teollisuuden Voima Oyj for further clarification of the overall design of automation systems for the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant by 31 July 2009. This request for further clarification is related to the decision made in summer last year by STUK, in which it demanded that TVO revise the architecture of the plant's automation systems.
In its inspections early last year, STUK observed several deficiencies in the automation system design of the Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant. From a safety point of view, the most significant deficiencies concerned the mutual independence of automation system components that back each other up. In July 2008, STUK issued a decision, in which it presented comments on the automation system design and demanded that TVO revise the documentation. STUK particularly emphasised the significance of the overall architecture of the automation systems.
TVO submitted a revised plan for the inspection of STUK in December 2008. Although the plan had been improved, the documents still contained weaknesses and contradictions with earlier documents. STUK asked for further clarification and, through a separate decision, presented demands for a protection system for the reactor. The reactor's protection system is part of the key section of the automation system, the protection automation system, the function of which is to start up the plant's safety systems in case of accident or malfunction.
In March 2009, TVO submitted a new version of the plan concerning automation system architecture. Both the automation system design and its related documentation had been improved, but they still contained deficiencies, resulting in STUK having to request for a third time greater precision and revisions. STUK is now requiring TVO for updated documents by the end of July. In addition to the documents in question, STUK has also asked TVO for further clarification concerning the validation of individual automation systems and devices.
@Mike Richards

Facts? Yeah - we've heard of them...
They're both "Ebb flow" designs , Adrian
If you design for bidirectionality, you reduce the total flows available - worse, you tend to end up with complex multi-reservoir designs.
Here's FoE's comment:
"The installed capacity, or maximum output, of the Project proposal would be 8,640 megawatts (MW) or 8.64 gigawatts (GW) and would have a load factor of about 23 %. Generation would occur on the ebb tide."
Note the dates
"Stuk requests more details on EPR systems
04 June 2010
The Finnish nuclear regulator has said that it is satisfied with the modifications proposed for the design of the control and safety systems of the Areva EPR under construction at Olkiluoto, but clearer documentation on the independence of the systems must still be provided.....
......The Finnish radiation and safety authority, Stuk, which first raised queries about the EPR's systems in December 2008, has now reviewed technical plans submitted by Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) concerning the control and safety systems of Olkiluoto 3. It concluded that "no notable change" would foreseeably be needed for the planned design.
However, whilst noting that considerable progress has been made in the design of the systems, Stuk said that it "has requested TVO to update the reviewed documentation in such a manner that it provides the necessary initial information of detailed system design in an unambiguous format."
In particular, Stuk requested that "the principles of securing the mutual independence of systems backing up each other are defined clearly enough.""
In other words, issue closed, now catch up with the paperwork.
You fail to note, by the way, the 3rd and 4th EPRs (at Taishan) are pretty much on time and budget - much as you'd expect with series build.
"But over a month, it'll average a LOT less - about 1.8GW."
So its *average* output is close to *two* usual sized UK power stations. in a system with a life span at least as long as the Hoover dam or the Rohn barrage in France, rather than the nuclear power stations built so far.
With *no* nuclear waste disposal problem.
I'm not saying it's the best solution but like geothermal it's likely to last quite a long time (roughly until the Moon hit's Roche's limit and disintegrates, which won't be for a while).
@Adrian Midgley 1
"If it is designed like the Rance Estuary scheme then it will produce power for those 6 hours as the water flooding into the reservoir turns the turbines,"
I had forgotten this fact entirely.
I suspect it's one of the *major* differences between conventional dams and tidal barrages.
Not obvious but pretty important.
"So its *average* output is close to *two* usual sized UK power stations."
Well, the EPR is designed at 1600MW, with an inherent stretch to 1800. And there's a design stretch for the AP1000 in the works to 1400MW. So, nearer to one than two. And both are designed around a 60 year design life.
The problem is, cost.
Even the Sustainable Development Commission saw a 1.8 GW average Severn barrage coming in at the £20-25Bn mark. Which conservatively prices the ouput in the £180/MW range, roughly comparable to offshore wind. That's excluding the system costs of the variability, by the way. Colin Gobson, former COO for National Grid estimates the incremental life-cycle costs for offshore wind are increased by about 50% by such afctors (transmission investment, back-up and variability compensation, inefficiencies in the compensating capacity) - that wouldn't be so bad, because there's at least some predictability, but it's still unlikley to add less than 25%.
The last review decided that the barage was unfundable - even assuming large government interventions. I've not seen anything to suggest otherwise since
Dear Santa,
For christmas futures I would really like the following enery policy:
Sufficient nuclear base load to power the country, including capacity for electrification of rail where possible and for electric road vehicles as they come on line, and perhaps the ability to export electricity to our neighbours should they need it as they do to us currently (sorry about that).
Some diversification into other predictable renewables such as tidal, hydro-electric, solar (PV and Thermal) etc as technology improves just to ensure we're not totally nuclear dependent, with some gas fired generation for quick start backup as well. Microgeneration such as PV or "uplift" such as ground source to be incentivised although perhaps in the case of PV a bit more logically than at the moment. Wind to be dumped as a serious power source (as it isn't one).
Adapting where possible the non-electric road fleet onto products derived from all that gas they're finding, which could also be used for domestic heat and cooking if required.
Saving our remaining oil for things that cannot fall into the above categories such as avation, off-grid (as in gas) backup generators where high energy density is required, vehicles that cannot easily access grid connected "gas" etc. And the chemical industry which everyone forgets about.
I fear however, that as with the Lego sets I asked you for years ago I'll be disappointed.
It may well be uneconomical in the face of shale gas
But that's a definitely finite resource.
Forty years of lacklustre support for nuclear research will cost us dearly; only recently has HMG woken up to the pitiful lack of nuclear physicists and engineers and the army of highly skilled construction staff that a nuclear industry requires. The way things are going right now, its going to get increasingly difficult even to buy that expertise from abroad if the German anti-nuclear stance becomes popular elsewhere. Still, at least the French have their heads screwed on, right?
Maybe the Chinese will save us from ourselves, by keeping all their neodymium so they can build the fleets of electric cars that their power grid will be able to support and wind power will become even more grievously uneconomical than it is now. Lets hope they don't mind selling us their thorium tech, eh?
We already import most of our clever stuff from China. We might as well import our power generators as well I suppose.
That's a sad joke icon by the way because that's what our energy policy is.
Green Electricity?
There are suppliers who specialise in providing tree-huggers with electricity generated from wind and PV, so co-called green electricity. But nowhere is there a supplier who buys nuclear energy for their customers as much as possible.
Perhaps more to the point, people who presently commit a few thousand quids to the installation of PV panels on their roof will be in receipt of inflated feed-in tariffs guaranteed for the next twenty-five years, increasing the price for everyone else in order to cover the subsidy. This scheme is a nice little earner for those involved.
What we need is a similar opportunity to buy a slice of equally 'green' nuclear generating capacity, a stake in new power stations. This energy wouldn't need to be subsidised, simply supplied free from the absurd loading that the wind and PV programme is and will for decades be adding to electricity prices.
David Pollard
"What we need is a similar opportunity to buy a slice of equally 'green' nuclear generating capacity, a stake in new power stations. "
At the risk of getting shot, watch for announcements in the next few months from a certain large nuclear-orientated energy retailer....
Interesting Idea
May I suggest a slogan for you:
Adopt an Atom Today!
Said in a nice, stereotypical, 1950s BBC English voice. Could be a great campaign. You could have Adam the cuddly Atom teddies and badges, like BT's Buzby campaign in the 80s.
...Thinks... I've had a busy week, have I been overdoing it?...
How time flies
A decade ago, I was talking with a bunch of farmers, and Chernobyl had hit farming in some places quite hard. You wouldn't expect them to be nuclear enthusiasts. But there was all the pressure to grow crops for fuel, and a tendency for these schemes to collapse between sowing and harvest. And farmers do tend to think long-term, more so than MBAs.
Nuclear power was something we knew how to build and operate. It was, ten years ago, clearly the best option available. It would take time to build, but everything does.
Fuel crop schemes still struggle. Wind farms are working. Tidal and wave power are still at little better than the prototype stage.
And we've wasted ten years on waiting for more nuclear power.
Some of the big coal-fired stations will now be worn out before any nuclear power plants can be built to replace them.
Gas should be sent direct to the consumer unaltered through the existing gas pipework network, not converted into electricity and diverted onto the electricity network. We've got 300 years of coal under the ground, that should be being used for conversion to electricity.
Throw in some diversified mixed source electricity production to spread the dependancies as well.
RE: J.G.Harston
"Gas should be sent direct to the consumer unaltered through the existing gas pipework network...." That would require every household to have a miniture gas-burning generator for powering items like PCs, TVs, fridges, etc, which cannot be gas-powered directly - not very efficient compared to a centralised generator - and a massive increase in the gas infrastructure to cover the extra demand. Are you sure you don't want to think that one through again?
Perhaps I'm being thick here but .....
..... if the waste is still radioactive, doesn't that mean it's still got some PE in it? And if we harnessed all that energy, then it wouldn't be radioactive anymore?
If it's quite happy to give up that energy slowly, it probably could be persuaded to give it up a bit faster by bombarding it with the right kind of particles. Why isn't anyone researching turning radioactive waste into lead?
Somewhat inefficient
A fair amount of nuclear waste simply isn't very useful. Its nasty, toxic, awkward to work with and in most cases there's nothing useful to be done with it. There are various kinds of reprocessing that can be done to extract useful fuel from waste, but they're not entirely economical at present and many kinds of waste wouldn't yield anything usefully fissile. The radiation and heat you get from this useless waste is simply too low to turn into useful power... you'd be better off building wind turbines and photovoltaic panels instead.
There are various interesting things you could do with a working fusion device that produced a decent amount of neutrons that you use to irradiate radioactive waste, but a) we don't have a working fusion device, b) fusion devices that produce a high neutron flux will create their own hazardous waste products and c) no-one really wants to associate lovely shiny fusion power with nasty dirty fission waste.
In the UK this matter is becoming urgent
Roughly 20-25% of *all* UK electricity is currently nuclear generated.
Those reactors are getting long in the tooth.
The fact that nuclear power comes out cheaper even when decommissioning costs are factored *in* is pretty astonishing. If the claim holds up the British civil service's apparent ability to handle *one* alternative energy source at a time looks even lamer than ever.
Note that "Thorium" comes in various different flavors and that nuclear reactor builders make most of their money in the (incompatible) fuel *elements*, not building the things in the first place.
Refueling a conventional reactor is complex and often done with it switched off entirely. Refueling a molten salt design (in principle) needs a shovel.
Stoke the Atom Furnaces!
Flash Gordon is approaching!
"Stoke the Atom Furnaces"
Yes, I am old enough to have seen this.
Ludicrous IRL but it is sort of a compelling image.
I'd like supporters of MSR's to adopt it as their symbol, but that's a long shot.
Wind Power Rules
But we want higher energy bills, increasing fuel poverty, freezing elderly folk and the like! We can only do this with massively subsidised renewables that produce expensive power and cost money even when we have to turn them off:
It's about time the government ignored sensible, practical and real alternatives. It's not like we have a debt problem to worry about because printing money, I mean... quantitative easing should completely solve the problem.
(On a genuine note, I have nothing in principle against wind power when it can compete fairly against other forms of power generation. At the moment not only is it too expensive when it works, it often doesn't work because we simply don't have the tech to store that much energy for later usage)
more gas than we know what to do with
What we should do with gas is not piss it away producing electricity.
We should save it for the pipes already feeding most of our homes and use more of it to power vehicles instead of idiotic batteries.
JP19, yes, and no
TBH, using gas as fuel for domestic heating is about as silly as using it for fuelling power stations. We should be looking to a transition to heat pumps (ground or air-source) over the next 20 years or so.
And don't underplay the need for at least some gas in the power station mix. It's uniquely good at being flexed for peaking, and for assisting with the extremes of the load curve. It'd never make sens to go beyond (say) 70-80% of electricity production (maybe 60% of capacity) coming from nuclear. Although newer nukes can load-follow uite happliy, they'll never do real instantaneous load-matching, and the economics of using them in modes where capacity factors drop below 75% or so are horrible.
Gas-fired plant is a beautiful match, if you've got no hydro - it's fixed costs are extremely low, and it's technically highly responsive - which means you can live with the plant having low capacity factors as is needed for plant for peaking and extreme load following.
The nice thing is, you can even do gas CCS quite economically - you don't need to size the CCS plant to support the gas to run at full power for any extended period, and you just hold reformed hydrogen in buffered storage.
And it's an utter doddle to sibstitute for transport fuels.
If governments insist...
...on using reactors that are designed primarily to breed material for bombs, then of course there will be problems with waste. There are better ways, including thorium cycle plants.
As for safety, "The possibility of a Fukushima-type accident in Britain is as remote as me getting hit by a meteor".
"As we discussed here, 99 per cent of waste can now be converted back to fuel using fusion."
Yes, but once you've mastered fusion, it doesn't exactly endorse fission as an energy source. If anything, it just closes the book on the legacy of today's nuclear industry. Sure, you might want some use for those neutrons, but messing around with uranium and thorium will be very much taking a back seat at that point.
It's amusing to see fusion dragged up when most fans of fission usually pooh-pooh the idea. What next? Fusion making natural gas extraction from tar sands and shale economically feasible and not damaging to the environment? It's almost like buying a supersonic jet and using it to taxi around town.
Not that this comes naturally, but...
Huhne does have at least some points....and that's from someone who's not only seriously pro-nuclear, but took his bachelors degree in Nuclear Engineering.
We have managed to consistently cock-up technology choices - and then make an even worse job of actually building stations in the past.
Going with the Magnox designs was probably sensible, given the constraints of the time - little enrichment capacity, no forging capability for larg(ish) high pressure vessels and the fact we'd got the hang of machining high-purity graphite when we built the Windscale piles.
What WAS unforgivable was the fact that in building eleven stations, we used seven different designs. Which completely bolloxed the idea of a learning curve.
It was only then that we REALLY cocked -up. In the early 1960s, the CEGB and SSEB approached the then Secretary of State for Energy for permission to start the procurement of their "second generation" nuclear plant. They thought the gas-graphite line of development had gone as far as it reasonably could - and wanted to adopt an American LWR design. The UKAEA was at the same time lobbying for a "super-Magnox" - the AGR (funny that an R&D organisation wanted the option that needed lots of R&D, but maybe that's just me being cynical). The CEGB claimed the complexity of the design, and the need to fabricate almost the whole thing on site would make it expensive and prone to delays. The Secretary of State sided with the AEA, as he wanted to develop a "distinctively British" technology for export - that was Tony Benn, by the way, fresh from the decision to build Concord.
Not a single AGR was ever sold abroad. Not a single AGR was finished on less than a 50% cost over-run, or less than three years late on a seven year build programme. Hardly surprising, because not only had we picked a pig of a design to build, we then managed to decide to build three and a half different designs amongst seven stations built. Dungeness B, the first to be started, was twelve years late on a seven year build. THe last two, Heysham II and Torness were meant to be built as copies of Hinkley Point B and Hunterson B, but finished up with change on every major system.
At roughly the same time as we opted for the AGR, the French were faced with the same choice. They went the other way, and licensed the Westinghouse PWR. In the same time it took us to built seven AGR stations (14 reactors, totalling 9,200 MW) the French deployed about 55 PWRs, totalling about 50,000MW, using just four designs, each larger than the last. They also manged to export something like 20 of the things.
We're about to build a derivative of that design, scaled up to 1600MW in a single reactor - the EPR. The other candidate for new build in the UK is also a PWR derivative - the AP1000 from Westinghouse .
Only one country has built a gas-graphite reactor in the period since we started building AGRs.
North Korea.
The moral of the story? Keep Ministers, and especially the British Civil Service, a thousand miles away from any aspect of technology choice.
Next, onto Thorium
Title (optional)
"Smart" metering will mean that in the future when we are short of electricity (and we will be) tarrifs can be adjusted many times during the day so that the price you pay for the electricity you use at any given time of the day (or how windy/sunny it is outside) reflects the amount of electricyty available. Simple supply & demand economics.
The reason we WILL run short of electricity (and personally I can't wait for that to happen) is that no-one is prepared to pay the real cost of power generation, whether that's nuclear, fossil or renewable. The end user will have to pay a lot more for energy in the future if new power generation and transmission infrastructure is going to be built.
The act that no-ne wants to pay for it is perfectly illustrated by today's furore over OFGEM's claim that (once again) energy companies are charging us too much.
You can't have your cake and eat it as they say.
We are paying to much
And one reason is that when the big six increase the price of electricity and gas due to the "increasing cost of buying gas/oil/name your own feedstock" they also quietly pump up the profit margin whilst they are it.
For example if the cost of gas rises by 10% you bill does not go up by 10% of increase in gas prices instead it goes up by 10% plus the 10% that is applied to the profit margin. OFGEM if it had the power could insist that the companies concerned only increase the cost element of their pricing as opposed to the whole thing. Whilst not having a massive impact on the overall costs of provision, it would force electricity generators to find other ways to improve their profit margins rather than as now, simply boosting it when the price of feedstock goes up
Not quite, Bluenose.
Say you pay £10 for electricity at the moment. About 70% of that is the wholesale cost of the power at "station gate" (of which about, with out current generation mix about 45-50% is fuel, 15% operational and finance costs, 6-7% is renewables subsidy, and the rest generator's profit margin...and yes, those are meant to add up that way) . Transmission and distribution together add another 15-20%. Metering and the operations cost for the retailer is about another 5%.
Retailers gross (not net) margin will hit about 9% this quarter before declining to about 6% next year. For the last couple of quarters, they've been around the 1% mark. Which is below the reatiler's cost of capital. Averaged over the last ten years, margins have been about 1-2%.
" the wholesale cost of the power at "station gate"
With the greatest possible respect (given your other contributions), don't you mean the *alleged* wholesale cost of the power at the station gate? The vast majority of our electricity comes from vertically integrated suppliers whose economics are deliberately obscured to prevent regulatory intervention.
There is a bit of a regulatory and economic parallel here with the situation with BTwholesale, BTretail, the ever-incompetent Oftel/Ofcom, and such. We do not as yet have the electricity equivalent of local loop unbundling to radically change the market dynamics, and I hope we never see the same "race for the gutter" in electricity supply as the race for ever-cheaper broadband has produced in the broadband market.
You need to understand a bit of the history, AC
Energy was the model followed in when the local loop unbunding came in - the transmission infrastructure was separated from generation, retail and distribution at privatisation, and separation of distribution from retail was enforced from the mid nineties (first on a "chinese wall" basis, and now almost total separation of ownership - the only part of the network in England and Wales owned by a firm that's also active in retail and generation is the old Manweb patch)
And we did indeed run a "pool" - compulsory short term auctions - from privatisation to 2001. It didn't work especially well, being prone to "gaming" by generators, and causing a lot of instability in price.
For those reasons, it was replaced in 2001 by something called NETA - "New Energy Trading Arrangements". You can judge the effectiveness of it by the fact there was something like a 25% drop in average wholesale prices in the 12 months following it's introduction - and prices (allowing for gas and coal prices, which are internationally traded) have if anything fallen further.
It's also worth saying that both OFGEM and the Competition Commission have been over the generation trading arrangements several times since, and found no evidence of collusion to drive prices. And although its true most power comes from generating capacity owned by the big 6 there's significant capacity that doesn't, or has to be traded outside the parent group. The two biggest examples are Drax (4,000 MW), and Eggborough (2000MW); plus as part of the deal to buy British Energy, EDF signed a deal to sell half its production outside the group (something like 5,000MW. Also, the production from the remaining Magnox stations - about another 1500MW - is not part of any of the big 6. Add that lot together - I make it about 12,500MW - and you've something approaching 30% of total generation. More than enough to establish a reasonably liquid market, and to get a price baseline.
Part of the problem is, the press is lazy - they conflate concentration in retail with concentration in generation, and don't look at the internal structures of the market. For example, Centrica has no choice but to trade for 75% of its electricity requirements (and they're the biggest player - 25% of the residential market). They simply don't possess enough generation, so buy from just about everyone out there. By contrast, EDF/BE and SSE are notably long in generation compared to retail - EDF/BE produces about 25% of total production, but only has about 10-15% of the retail market. Indeed, as I commented elsewhere, SSE's gambit about open auctions is more to do with the fact they're short on sales for their generation, and their plant's running horrifically low capacity factors as a result.

The first step in the Vikings offseason will have to be to look at themselves, as a front office and as a coaching staff, to see if any major changes are needed. Considering the surprising success of this season, coupled with an apparent lack of interest in our coaches from teams with vacancies, I would venture a guess at this point that nothing major is coming.
So, assuming our schemes stay relatively close to what we saw in 2012, I have decided to list and rank the Vikings pending free agents. As I usually do, I have taken a "world view" approach to ranking these players which means talent is only one of the factors taken into consideration. Age, projected cost, injury history, and other factors have also played into these rankings.
So, without further ado, here are how I rank the Vikings 2013 free agents from best to worst:
Jamarca Sanford, S: Yes, I have listed a part time player in the top spot. No, I am not crazy… I don't think. The Vikings secondary made huge strides this season and I just feel like they cannot afford to take a step backwards, and there are no guarantees they will be able to take a step forwards as options are limited and they have bigger fish to fry. If they do get their hands on a starter that is superior to Sanford or Mistral Raymond then great, Sanford is a fine special teamer that shouldn't cost a ton to retain. He plays the run very well, flying around the field, and has a knack for causing fumbles. He is a liability in coverage, and can't seem to catch a football to save his life, but there is no reason the Vikings shouldn't keep him around to ensure, at the very least, that some depth is maintained at the safety position.
Jerome Felton, FB: Wild card weekend was proof, in each game played, that the fullback position is not dead at all. Felton proved this all season long, however, as he paved the way for Adrian Peterson's incredible season. Rick Spielman reportedly told Felton that the team wanted him back, but money could be a sticking point, especially since the Vikings have a decent backup option in Rhett Ellison. Ellison's presence, other free agent options, and Felton's DWI charges from last offseason are the only reasons he doesn't sit atop this list.
Phil Loadholt, RT: On most lists you will probably find Loadholt listed as the top free agent that the Vikings have pending. This was certainly his best pro season in a number of ways. In fact, it has been reported that the front office approached Loadholt about an extension in the middle of this last season. I worry about a player, however, that seems to play much harder during his contract year. Also, the fact that no mid-season extension was agreed upon suggests to me that Loadholt is hoping to get more money than the Vikings are willing to shell out. Lastly, there are a number of very good tackles set to become free agents this offseason, so if the Vikings are going to back up the money truck then perhaps they should be looking to do so for a player that demonstrates more consistency. In the end, however, Loadholt is worth a decent (but reasonable) contract and the Vikings will give serious thought to getting a deal hammered out in the coming months.


text: OutKast's Big Boi Makes Case Against Gun Control Print article Send a Tip by Ezra Dulis 21 Jul 2012 post a comment While most of the entertainment world reacted to Thursday's massive shooting spree at a Colorado theater with urgent calls for gun control, one music star had quite the opposite message. Big Boi (real name Antwan André Patton), one half of the rap outfit OutKast, took to Twitter and defended individuals' right to bear arms. They trying take 🔫 outta the hands of the American people #yup🔍 — Big Boi of OUTKAST (@BigBoi) July 20, 2012 Presumably, the 🔫 is an image of a gun specific to his Twitter app, Echofon. Patton then went on to quote lyrics from an OutKast song: " We slum , kept all the guns , I GOTTA protect my family " Big Boi from Da art of storytelling pt. 1 — Big Boi of OUTKAST (@BigBoi) July 20, 2012 Unlike insular journalists such as Piers Morgan and Roger Ebert, Patton understands there are dangerous places in this world and dangerous people for whom the only effective suppressant is superior force. When criminals would take the life of innocent families, no amount of feel-good dialogue and negotiation has been statistically proven as effective as gun ownership to prevent those murders. Patton later retweeted a follower who points out that historically, the purpose of gun control was to oppress free blacks. Gun control laws. started with racists disarming freed slaves RT @BigBoi They trying take 🔫 outta the hands of the American people #yup🔍 — JJBOOGIE (@therealjjboogie) July 20, 2012 As Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas declared in his McDonald v. Chicago opinion, gun control laws were part and parcel of white-on-black oppression during the Reconstruction era. So if the left wants to squeal that voter ID laws are Jim Crow reborn, let's have this conversation. Why do Piers Morgan, Salman Rushdie, Roger Ebert, DL Hughley, Michael Moore, and John Leguizamo want to take away blacks' right to defend themselves? Why do they want black Americans defenseless in high-crime areas? Why would they pass laws that have historically led to higher rates of gun crime, knowing that black youths are already disproportionately affected by gun violence? This same follower sent out another link detailing the racist history of anti-gun laws. #yup🔍 RT @therealjjboogie: HIstory of racist gun control lawsfirearmsandliberty.com/cramer.racism.… @BigBoi #mustread — Big Boi of OUTKAST (@BigBoi) July 20, 2012 Of course, famous as he is, Patton is bound to attract criticism, which he handles with dry humor: Deer Hunters RT @kenjiberry: @BigBoi what civilian needs automatic weapons tho? — Big Boi of OUTKAST (@BigBoi) July 20, 2012 Its called Sarcasm...graduateRT @spartantown: @BigBoi @kenjiberry if you need an automatic weapon to hunt with you suck as a hunter. — Big Boi of OUTKAST (@BigBoi) July 20, 2012 Yes, the old, "You don't need [x type of weapon]." Nobody needs to run their own newspaper, either, but that extreme manifestation of speech is protected by the First Amendment. And, while he may not have meant it that way, Big Boi's "Deer Hunters" quip cuts to the heart of the issue: the Bill of Rights isn't meant for the government to allow us to do what we need. It's meant for the government to protect us doing what we can. And if you want to hunt deer with an assault rifle, by gum, it's your constitutional right (after jumping through all the hoops required to buy Class III weapons, that is). Patton then retweets another follower who uses the example of Switzerland to demolish the myth that private citizens owning automatic weapons results in more crime: For every 100 homicide in us Switzerland has 1 but has more automatic weapons per capita than us - two per household @bigboi @kenjiberry — rawdawgbuffalo (@rawdawgbuffalo) July 20, 2012 And finally, Patton reveals that he entered this conversation not for any pet issue of his but for the rights of everyone. Im not Pro GUNS , but I am 100% Pro Freedom , and 1000% PRO LOVE for all --RT @MrBryanBarber: @BigBoi so what you tryna to say?! — Big Boi of OUTKAST (@BigBoi) July 20, 2012 On a day when progressive celebrities responded to a national tragedy with their sanctimonious default position -- that elites must make more decisions for the unwashed masses -- it was a satisfying end to the day discovering Big Boi's Twitter missive. For all the typos and neologisms, his was the entertainment industry's most eloquent defense of liberty against aggressive statists out to exploit death.

#Celtics guard Rajon Rondo gave mostly short, glum answers to media after tonight's win. Perhaps it's just a case of Montezuma's revenge. — Scott Souza (@scott_souza) December 6, 2012 The Boston point guard is getting some grief from the local media for his post game interview last night: While I understand how it could be frustrating to have your questions answered in such a manner, it is pretty hilarious to watch. In particular his interaction with CSNNE's Jessica Camerato at the 30 second mark really cracked me up: "How long did it take you to find your rhythm after being out the last two games?" "Like two seconds." "That's pretty quick... you time it?" Hysterical. Thanks to WEEI's Ben Rohrbach for the clip. Follow Mark on twitter @LucidSportsFan

Don´t be so sure about that.Problem is, #1: what are the Pubbies doing to curtail voter fraud? With even Rand Paul putting out the "caution" flag on Voter ID, lack of poll watchers and lawsuits to challenge illegal voting, and lack of any organized campaign to address the issue, they are complicit in their silence.And then there is the factor that their leadership is attacking their base. That may well backfire on them. They had better hope they can persuade enough blacks and Hispanics to counter those who will either sit home or cast their vote elsewhere. (I recommend the latter, as it would tally the protest.)If the GOP puts up legitimate conservatives, vote for them. Otherwise, deny them your vote and let the chips fall. I, for one, will not cast my vote for Lamar(!).

November 26, 2014
PHOENIX (AP) - Toronto Maple Leafs owner Richard Peddie will not have to answer questions in the court fight over the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes.
Attorneys for Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie and Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes had wanted to question Peddie over what role the Maple Leafs might play in the proposed relocation of the Coyotes to Hamilton, Ontario.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Redfield T. Baum denied that request on Thursday in an order naming officials who will give depositions in the complicated Chapter 11 bankruptcy case.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly - who have already been deposed once - will answer questions, as will Boston Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs and Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leipold. Balsillie also will be deposed, along with his aide Richard Rodier and Moyes.
