Video: George Osboorne
Why did George Osborne get booed by 80,000 people? Because that's the maximum capacity of the Olympic stadium…
Why did George Osborne get booed by 80,000 people? Because that's the maximum capacity of the Olympic stadium…
What twa* decided to have Tory ministers dish out medals at the venue? You really couldn't make it up.
We have fecking knob-heads running this country . . .
1) f*cked up last election for conservatives.
2) double dip recession
3) Andy from News of the World
4) budget U turns
What has Osborne got on Cameron?
Osborne has also f*cked Conservatives chances for the next 20 years.
Leave George alone.
And Dave.
And Clegg.
And Miliband.
They are all undertaking great work for UKIP.
Carry on & keep quiet.
True. UKIP have my vote at the next election . . .
agreed – the guy is a complete fucking tool – he has to go
Whatever he has on Cameron he's still bloody there. Osborne=Broon.
I'm growing to like him
He is Southern Irish – and hasn't the slightest interest in seeing any good done for the UK. He should be banished from parliament – along with all the other foreigners (including the Welsh and Scots who have their own Houses in which to pontificate) who infest the place. Then we might get something done properly.
How many other parliaments allow foreigners in their midst?
I think it's wrong to mock the afflicted.
At least he had the good humour to laugh. If it had been a Labour chancellor, the Labour smear machine would've got to work straightaway and most of the audience would've turned up to work the next morning to be accused of being p-edophiles.
Labour are the Nazi party.
there is a similar video of that twat brown getting cheered handing out medals at the aquatic centre
talk about shooting the messenger!!
the man who created the vast out of control public sector boom in the last 13 years getting cheered and the man who is starting to sort it out getting jeered
To be fair, Gordon is eligible to compete in the C14 class.
Maybe something to do with the fact that Gordon and his chums dished out benefits aplenty to the disabled and the not so disabled.
There is a perception, misplaced perhaps, that Gideon is cutting those 'entitlements'.
Could not help feeling that the Labour Party and Unions have managed to get many of their activists tickets to the para-olympics. It was too orchestrated to be spontaneous. Lenin would be pleased.
That's a bit silly.
Gideon thought they were cheering him and booing the athletes. Could Labore actually manage to get 80,00 people together?
A fair few of the audience would have been from the disability rights/welfarist/bigger handouts section of the community so no surprise really-pretty silly to get him to do it though.
He might have been laughing, but I don't find the fact that this unqualified imbecile is ruining the economy, funny in the slightest.
Brown got booed at Wembley, also.
I see that the Daily Mail are trying to say that Cameron was booed at the Aquatic Centre last night – surely the BBC would have put this on a loop.
Typical left wing DM (masquerading as from the right). No wonder Daker and Brown are mates.
Osboorne? Watch those extra "o"s in the title
Were you all saying boo or Boo-urns?
Bigots! Where's Sue?
I had her "taken out" for putting me with that woman.
This story was news last night and this joke has been doing the rounds all morning.
If you are not in front of Greedo you must be an idiot.
It would be a bit ungrateful if any visitors from India and the European Commission were booing Osborne, granted that he's sending them all our money.
As seen here last evening > http://kebabtime.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/osbrowne-booed.html
Remember how Brown and Merkel were greeted at Wembley, nothing to hear, nothing to see, don't mention the lack of support or the boos.
Even Call Me Dave was cheered last night, but we'll overlook that. As for Brown how many were cheering because he was out of office for good.
They were cheering Gordy because they thought he was back from the dead as he hasn't been seen for many months
…but still claiming his Parliamantary allowance, I will bet,
They were probably cheering Brown because he was able to find his own way to Stratford, being classed as a S3 Parapolitician.
Chancellor George Osborne to keep his job in UK government reshuffle – @Reuters
Welfare Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and Education Secretary Michael Gove to stay put
These two will end up less popular than Gideon
Well Thank Goodness for that. IDS and Gove are probably the only two in this cabinet that are doing a decent job.
Osborne loves the abuse, don't encourage him.
"Why did George Osborne get booed by 80,000 people"
The fact that you have to ask, shows how out of touch you are Guido !!!
Until the UKs population is more transparent each faction will start building castles (metaphorically) and will exclude those that are not on message only the pure will enter their strongholds. Guido and his playmates are already building their castles, the Liebore lot are building theirs, Cleggy is trying to build his castle but it keeps being sabotaged and others nicking the blocks of stone.
Everyone stays in same place…errrrr
Except Clarke, who becomes "Minister for Nothing " and Andrew " Tim nice but dim" Mitchell get a whipping role.
You couldn't make it up
Seems as if we are just having repeat of a Liebour reshuffle before 2010, no change , roundabout still in working order, horses still made of wood.
It is a joy having you here – you are sooooo Rik from The Young Ones.
Right on. Smash the state bruvver.
Moose, "Minister for Nothing " used to be known as Minister without Portfolio there has always been one knocking around
Yeah, still sucking on the taxpayer's teat
Nice to see Lansley demoted, Moussa
I think we should cut the Tory part of the coalition some slack. The situation inherited from Labour would be difficult for any administration to rectify in just two years but to have to work with the Lib Dem's makes it a nigh on impossible short term task. I've not heard one single suggestion or theory over the past eighteen months that would dramatically change our current financial situation. If any of us are suffering it's because thanks to the last government we must.
Do you think that George will actually try some sound economic policies before he is finished?
Things like:
* Cut taxes
* Slash state spending by 50%
* Re-direct DFID cash to business tax cuts
* Suspend the £53.8 million pounds a day we give to the socialist EU to squander
For me & many others, the Conservative brand is now very toxic indeed.
It wanted so desperately to be loved by the Guardian & the BBC that it surrendered all principles it once had – now it lies festering in a no mans land of weak mediocrity & ridicule – with only Clegg as a backstabbing fair weather ally.
Vote UKIP
Bog Off Soph with your UKIP.
In answer to you question, no. There is no second way.
So many Lib Dems on Order Order these days…..
Sophie, these LibDems don't frighten you do they, Guido backs the Tories, the Tories have the money, to run a big campaign you need lots of money, the Ukippers will have to start saving, just one thing with Ukip, if they got into power and dragged the UK out of the EU what would you rename yourselves as the name Ukip would have no relevance
Still worth a shot though, better than all the thieves and backstabbers we've had to endure over the decades.
Just proves what I suspected all along – the Paralympics are a tool of self-congratulation for the Lefty Chatterati!
Why else is the TV coverage on Channel 4?
After the wall to wall hooha of the main Olympics, on local sports channels, there has been not one minute's coverage of this lot on any of my local land or satellite channels (except a line on the news about the blade runner fellow complaining that somebody ran faster than he did).
Have I missed anything?
Deck chairs moved so that we can have a new Minister for Awkward Question Time slot
It is just hilarious.
IDS and The Gimp are considered your best.
IDS, failed leader, and current minister who is never seen; and The Gimp is loathed by parents and the entire teaching profession.
On the other hand, we offer you Red Ed & Harridan Harmanhater.
Poor old Mousaka needs to get his recipe together as he has the wrong ingredients.
Gove has an intelligence, dedication, and toughness seen only in very few MP's.
Leadership, integrity, vision, etc etc are all in very short supply in all 3 parties, but especially in the left wing parties.
When you have to bring a bent crook back into government then you know this is a FACT.
I don't think you can be a parent . Gove has dramatically improved education in his short term at the DFEE – and all the parents I mix with think he's doing a good job. I haven't heard any of the teachers around here running him down either.Improvements in our education system here have been very marked and very visible.
But maybe the schools in your area are still under labour mind control and the self serving unions and therefore resisting any improvement.
They probably see you as a mad dangerous old woman and just hope you'll go away as quickly as possible.
Who's your 'best', Moussa?
It's the teechers unions wot iz complainin innit ? They r gonna hav to teech proper like them teechers wen I woz at skool.
Better late than never , video has been out for nearly a day now
and posted on here at least 6 times
You're either in front of Guido or ………………………
Maybe the stadium was full of leftie Unite members on holidays and sickies.
Boxtickers and bedwetters suffering from repetitive strain injury.
Ticking all those boxes is bloody hard work.
I would like to be following all this closely but I can see from my diary that I have a prior engagement and am cutting my toenails today.
You can at least navigate a diary! The silly bitch fronting the Home Office finds such documents a tad challenging . . .
Cats! Toenails?
Shamelessly purloined from the great Peter Cook.
see vi) You Rang?
Warsi out.
Why is that Mr Cameron getting rid of all those women Ministers?
I tell you it is not fair. They have been neither better nor worse than Mr Hunt and Mr Osborne
That poor Mrs Warsea was verbally abused by all those Conservative Pendlewitch members and they are still in the Party.
I tell you this is not right.
Fewer women = more room for new bumboys.
I'm loving it.
Isn't it funny how the likes of Amnesty, the UAF, Stop the War, SWP et al have been deafeningly silent over the arrest and detention of a christian child with learning disabilities in Craplakistan? They keep their mouths shut over this but if someone so much as buys a ham sandwich in Tower Hamlets, they're all over it. Bunch of utter, barefaced, shameless hypocrites.
So Theresa May's doing a good job and should continue eh?
LOL…what a shambles
At least he laughed. But it does tell the tale of what the people think about him and his policies. Hope for his sake he is in a safe seat come election time.
I bet the three competitors on the podium were more than put out.
You train for years, overcoming disability in the process, only to have your moment of triumph sullied and hi-jacked by braying morons in the crowd.
Vermin…..all of them
Whitestones, I agree about the athletes. But when you pursue policies that are not liked nor wanted by most of the population (as this evidince shows) then what do you expect a standing ovation? The instinctive nature of it speaks volumes. But I do agree it was sad for the athletes.
These "morons/vermin" as you call them will have included a lot of influential people as many keen sportspeople watch the paralympics and many have disabled people in their families.
I realise that the right wing dont see it/care, but his policies are breaking the social fabric of this nation and many are unhappy about it. Lords are now beginning to fear for our nation in this regard, and the people have instinctively spoken.
Election time is going to be fun.
Health Secretary…GONE. Admittance of failure….LOL
Been bested by the Shadow ultra slim Health Secretary? Oh! the shame..
Quite right he was booed. Osborne has been cutting benefits for disabled people all the time he has been chancellor.
He's the one who has limited contributory Employment Support Allowance to 12 months. After that it's tough shit, sick & disabled people, unless the underqualified idiots at ATOS somehow manage to put you in the Support Group.
And in a supreme act of irony, ATOS sponsor the paralympics….

With at least two Division I football prospects on the roster, Lyons has become a very busy place for college coaches during the spring evaluation period.
College recruiters started visiting high school campuses April 15 and that has kept Lions coach Kurt Weinberg busy with regular appointments. Weinberg, a physical education teacher at Lyons, has been meeting with coaches before and after school and during his 10:30 a.m. daily free period.
Recruiters are flocking to see two of the area's top recruits for the Class of 2015 — running back Leonard Ross and quarterback Tom Fiedler. The 6-foot, 195-pound Ross already was presented a scholarship from Illinois in May, 2013, while the 6-3, 170-pound Fiedler is still waiting for his first offer.

Today's Game: Nationals at Mets, 12 p.m. on SNY
The Nationals are in Tradition Field for the Mets' final spring training game in Florida, a 12 p.m. game.
The game will be broadcast live on SNY. Follow the game online with SNY GameDay.
Cory Mazzoni will start for the Mets, while Jordan Zimmermann will pitch for the Nationals.
|1. Eric Young Jr. – LF
|1. Anthony Rendon – 3B
|2. Daniel Murphy – 2B
|2. Denard Span – CF
|3. David Wright – 3B
|3. Jayson Werth – RF
|4. Curtis Granderson – RF
|4. Wilson Ramos – C
|5. Chris Young – CF
|5. Bryce Harper – LF
|6. Ike Davis – 1B
|6. Ian Desmond – SS
|7. Travis d'Arnaud – C
|7. Adam LaRoche – 1B
|8. Ruben Tejada – SS
|8. Danny Espinosa – 2B
|9. Cory Mazzoni – RHP
|9. Jordan Zimermann – RHP
Chris young was promised to be the starter......what a joke
What got solved this offseason? Not a whole lot.
8 and 9 are automatic outs now. Was going to buy tickets to the opener, but since the FO thinks Tejada is enough, I won't be going to the game. I usually buy decent tickets too...but why should I give them money that they won't use?
As much as I like Lagares in the field, this lineup is my favorite in terms of pure offense, and I don't think it's bad defensively either. I could very easily see this being the starting lineup to begin the season, with one of the Youngs getting phased out when they struggle offensively and then Lagares getting to play everyday. But this is clearly the best offensive lineup this team can put out there.
Start lagares in center and bat him leadoff. Don't wanna see tejada batting leadoff and I feel like the mets need c young in the middle of the lineup. I strongly believe that lagares will hit and he will serve as a solid center fielder for years to come
Get back on the bench, Juan! What do you think you're doing?
If this guy isn't starting CF on opening day, then this organization is more clueless than I thought.
ESPN announcers calling Lagares the best CF in Baseball
Lagares the MAN defensely!!!!
What a play by Lagares!
Lagares is a BEAST in CF!
LMFAO Tejada is a BUM he gives this team NOTHING
TDA needs to stop hitting under the ball
So now his failure is complete Familia was our only hope in the pen.
I'd take Seratelli as a backup over Q as they both play about equal def and Seratelli actually has some speed off the bench if needed, whereas Q is only an average defender, doesn't hit, and isn't fast. If neither hits and both play average def at least Seratelli has another useful tool for the team. Q doesn't bring anything...
Only if EYjr can play SS
Harper looks like a Roaster with that hair
I love how a guy gets picked off first and gets fist pumps in the dugout...
The apathy on this blog is pretty consistent with the apathy of Mets fans. I remember when spring training games would generate 800 posts. I know it is the middle of the day, during the work week, but Met fans have really disappeared....
"Young down on strikes"....we'll hear that 150 times this year......
" Granderson down on strikes".... We'll be hearing that 174 times this year.
@Zach Ripple No its not your missing Flores in the lineup over Tejada and then maybe its the best offensive lineup
@bingmets I honestly think that Lagares is also the better offensive option...he needs to start
@bingmets Tejada will be in the 8 hole, Eric Young will lead off, But im with you Ill rather see Lagares everyday
@ponzies86 Mike Trout just called. He laughed.
@ponzies86 Terry isn't sure yet. That is why we lose bad decisions
Nothing it's a shame, shoulda gave colons 2 yr 20 mil to drew
@72tilltc Because he gave up a hit? lol still hasn't given up a run yet this Spring...
@crafalko17 Not saying your wrong but fans are going nuts when we judge Wheeler and Travis D on a small sample. But after 25 innings with maybe 15 chances you could have seen you can judge Seratelli?
@ponzies86 He cant even play 2nd he was released he isn't good. Only Met fans are scanning waiver wires to find the next Mike Baxter.
@7up17_2go Probably a lot more than that since they'll be 2 Young's in the starting lineup
@7up17_2go As long as he pops around 30, fine with me
@Ken Thall @ponzies86 also ESPN announcers, im watching the game on ESPN right now and they calling him the best CF in baseball
@Mike Dell Italia Are you kidding me, Colon pick up is good this team has money to get both Colon and Drew they just dont wanna pay
@crafalko17 Just kidding he has looked good.
@72tilltc @crafalko17 Seratelli = not a prospect.
@72tilltc @crafalko17Well, it's more than we have seen a lot of Q and what he brings. Not like I am saying he'll be a great player or anything. Just he's like Q with speed which at least adds another facet to the team is all. Don't need to see him many times to see he is fast. Ya know?
only has to play well enough to finish out a game if Tejada is hurt, until a real SS comes from Vegas. Ridiculous to waste a roster spot on Q ... lose Brown's bat over this guy?
@72tilltc @ponzies86 I said IF he can play SS I would much rather see Eric Young Jr in the lineup then a dreadful Tejada
@Brian Webster @7up17_2go probably should have clarified my comment. C. Young..
@Ken Thall @ponzies86 These guys were drolling over Lagares
@Ken Thall @ponzies86 You sure your watching it on ESPN and not SNY?
@crafalko17 @72tilltc Hey If you saw it Im in. Just saying question Travis and Wheeler and it is all about scouting ranking etc.
@72tilltc @Thomas McKeever @ponzies86 Yes, that's exactly what Sandy wants.
(rolls eyes)
@Thomas McKeever @72tilltc @ponzies86 It would give us an advantage over teams with weak hitting Mid infielders. It just seems Sandy wants us to be mediocre in all categories.
@Thomas McKeever @72tilltc @ponzies86 Flores is another one I would rather see over Tejada
@72tilltc @ponzies86I can't wait for Flores to take over at SS
@ponzies86 @72tilltc I think his arm is the problem at SS I like Wilmer good arm and a threat with the bat.
@72tilltc @ponzies86 It doesn't matter Eric Young Jr would give you a hell alot more then a slow tejada, If He can play the position like an average SS I'll take that.
@ponzies86 @72tilltc You mean play it not stand at the position like Justin Turner

Owner '100 percent' sure his horse will win Kentucky Derby
By COLIN FLY AP Sports Writer May 1, 2012 9:00AM
Kentucky Derby hopeful Trinniberg with exercise rider Sebastian Garcia aboard, gallops at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., Monday, April 30, 2012. The 138th running of the Kentucky Derby is Saturday, May 5. (AP Photo/Garry Jones)
LOUISVILLE, Ky.— Bisnath Parboo took in the crowd of reporters asking his son over and over if Trinniberg could handle the mile and a quarter run at the Kentucky Derby after never going longer than seven furlongs. When the group dispersed, the 72-year-old from Trinidad finally spoke up.
"The way he's training now, I'm 100 percent certain he's going to win," Parboo said. "He's doing everything right. We couldn't ask for nothing more. Nothing more."
The patriarch of the family is doing it his way with the Teuflesberg colt purchased entirely by chance for $21,000 at a Florida auction.
When Parboo's family booked him in a fancy downtown hotel, he wouldn't stay — picking a cheaper option near the track. And when he arrived in the United States in 1982, a clerical error in the paperwork caused his last name to be misspelled. He didn't care, nor did he bother to work to get it changed.
"That's just Pops," son and Trinniberg owner Shivananda Parbhoo said. "It's my father. We just leave him alone."
Parbhoo, who expects more than 40 people from among his friends and family to attend Saturday, said he stumbled upon the sale for Trinniberg while making a delivery at Ocala Breeders Sales. He was taken by the horse's look and had to have him even though he didn't have his checkbook. Parbhoo shrugs at the notion that he had a special eye to find talent.
"I can't look at $500,000 horses," he said.
The dark bay colt is as colorful as the family. He wears bright yellow gear and even has his own Derby flair with a red decorative pompom attached to his head that makes him instantly recognizable as soon as he enters the track.
"Those are our colors," Parbhoo said. "Most of our horses, even though we run in a $5,000, they like to dress them up. It's just a style we have. He's going to wear it at Derby."
He's almost certain to lead on Saturday, too, when the Derby begins, having been in first place in all seven of his lifetime races at some point. He's certainly a pacesetter, once posting a first quarter mile of 20.8 in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint that he ended up losing by 13½ lengths.
But since Willie Martinez took over as his rider, Trinniberg has been perfect in two stakes races this year — winning the Swale at Gulfstream Park and Bay Shore at Aqueduct by a combined nine lengths. Martinez, who'll be in his fifth Derby, said the horse has grown up.
"It's an obvious question. Distance, distance, will he get the distance? That's what everybody's wondering," Martinez said. "The only thing that I can say from my side, the rider's point of view, there's no better feeling for a rider than when the horse relaxes, especially going two turns and especially when everybody's expecting you to be on the pace."
The horse expected to be a long shot certainly has looked relaxed in training sessions this week, and his early break may cause other speedsters like Juvenile champion Hansen and the Bob Baffert-trained Bodemeister to chase, too, and could cause a favorite or two to fatigue too soon.
Of course, a lot will still be determined on Wednesday's post-position draw and Hansen trainer Mike Maker joked that he has an idea for it.
"Trinniberg in the 1, Bodemeister in the 2 and us in about the 13 or 14. That's a perfect scenario," Maker said. "If I was picking a post position, that's what I'd pick."
Without knowing the starting order, Parbhoo hasn't thought about what strategy he might give Martinez. He does know he has no plans to sell Trinniberg, but did pause to reflect when asked what would happen if he were offered $1 million, $2 million or $3 million.
"I like the question," Parbhoo said, laughing. "Remember, everything is for sale in the USA. Everything. Everything is for sale. There's a price for everything."
But, there's no price tag for the experience of winning the Kentucky Derby.
"This is a race that you dream it, you chase it and you want to taste it. That's how I am right now. I'm just like Trinniberg, I'm champing at the bit to get a taste of it," Martinez said. "We don't have to worry about nothing so we're just going to go out there and have fun, take what they're going to give us and hopefully everybody else will expect to come back. He could rain on a lot of people's parades."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: I don't know what to say about transfers anymore
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told ITV's Gabriel Clarke he is tired of transfer talk, as he approaches the end of the window.
The Frenchman had just watched his side reach the Champions League group stage thanks to a 5-0 aggregate win over Fenerbahce.
"I think in the first half we were a bit lucky to be 1-0 up. We qualified, and that's what we wanted," Wenger explained.
Asked about potential incomings at the Emirates, Wenger became a touch coy.
"I don't know what to say anymore, as I've said it all about that. Now we just want to prepare for the next game, and now if we work hard, maybe we'll do something."

Beauty in the Eye of the Bootholder: David Hellqvist
We've invited some of the most influential stylists, menswear designers and editors to guest-write for us here on the Bootmakers Blog. Here's David Hellqvist, Online Editor at PORT Magazine sharing his thoughts about the history and inspiration that came with his pair of Timberland Abington Work Boots.
Inspiration is in the eye of the beholder. It's not exactly how the old saying goes, but it is equally true. Especially in all creative fields and when there's a journalist (me) involved, interpreting and translating what we see, trying to reference pieces and themes, putting them in a context that I and others will understand. Hopefully.
That's what happened when I first got my Timberland Abington 6″ Work Boots. In my eyes, the olive suede boots – 6013R if you want the proper colour code – were inspired by US army boots. It was something about how the suede mixed with the British Millerain canvas on the ankles that made me think of the USMC boots, worn by Marines all over the world. Clearly, the Abington appeared to a be a rarified version; the luxe Charles F. Stead suede, the white Vibram soles and subtle piping details made it obvious that this was a boot made for Hackney, not Hanoi.
Initially it was this connection that attracted me to the boots; all quality sportswear have elements of military utility details incorporated at one point. Why? The level of functionality and craftsmanship involved in producing military RAT gear (Rugged All Terrain) is superior. Take away all of the nasty and depressing downsides that comes with the military per definition, and you are left with one of the best sources of sartorial inspiration ever.
But. Having done a bit of research into the Abington 6″ Work Boot I soon realised that its humble beginnings was not a desert battlefield, but a mill in New England. The boot was modeled on the kind of protection gear workers "wore during their long, demanding shifts." And that was it, my dream of wearing US Marine Crops boots shattered. But then it hit me; after army-influenced equipment, what's the next best thing? What other category of professionals need and use hardened boots and state of the art protection gear? Workers, the people who gave us workwear!
The history and heritage of these workers go way back; mill towns and factory villages began developing in the Northeastern corner of the US from early to mid 19th century. Centered around New England, the factories manufactured steel products like saws, ploughs, cutlery, axes and guns, but textiles were also a big part of the production line.
It was the men who worked these factories who inspired my boots. And their need of footwear and clothing that kept them safe and dry is as an important source of inspiration today as any army gear, and rightfully so. There's something noble about going back in time, looking at what honest blue collar artisans wore, and how that can be translated into a 21st century wardrobe. Having read about the factories, I'm fine with wearing New England mill-inspired boots. I can always pick up a pair of Delta Force boots next time around.
In His Boots
Nigel Fisher is a humanitarian and international development expert who has lead relief and recovery efforts with UNICEF for over 20 years in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. He's done most of his work in a pair of Timberland Fastpacker Boots, circa 1997-98.
Mr. Fisher's boots have witnessed some truly amazing events, including wading through floods and knee-high mud in 2008 post-cyclone Haiti, through the 2004 post-tsunami rubble of Aceh, Indonesia and the 2010 post-earthquake devastation of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The boots were with Nigel as he visited a UNICEF-supported shelter for girls in Bunia, Democratic Republic of Congo, and again while he trekked across central Afghanistan in 2002 to visit the first schools for girls in remote communities and newly-opened health centres accessible to women for the first time.
These boots have personally encountered tens of thousands of children. If you bear in mind the negotiations undertaken, plans made, operations overseen, assistance delivered, schools built, while they were worn, and the fact that I often negotiated on behalf of UNICEF and many organizations for nationwide emergency or vaccination programs while wearing them, then they have influenced millions of children's lives.
- Nigel Fisher
Last week, I was honored to be on hand for the induction of Nigel's boots at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, where they will become part of a permanent collection. I was also delighted to present Nigel with a brand new pair of Timberland hikers, so that he can continue on his humanitarian journey. Nigel's wife was on-hand to accept as he joined us via satellite from Haiti, where he continues his work in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
You can learn more about Nigel's inspiring work and the Bata Shoe Museum exhibition in his honor here, and in the UNICEF Canada video below.
Walk With Me: The Marcus Troy Experience
Last month, Timberland convened a group of creative influencers, led by lifestyle and fashion journalist Marcus Troy, for a unique outdoor journey designed to take them from nature to city and back again. Against the backdrop of Timberland Canada's headquarters in Toronto, we outfitted our group of ten trendsetters in Timberland gear, including the Earthkeepers City Premium boot and GT Scramble and led them on a 2.8 mile hike through some of the city's most beautiful settings.
During the day, each participant was tasked with taking pictures and capturing the experience through their own creative lens. The result is a series of phenomenal images and perspectives that live on Marcus Troy's website.
What does an urban outdoor journey look like through the eyes of influencers like Karla Moy, William Yan, Shane Stirling and Bryan Espiritu? Immerse yourself in the Marcus Troy Experience to find out.
From Everest to Iditarod: Cindy Abbott's Incredible Journey
Cindy Abbott is a wife and a mother with some "normal" hobbies and interests (ballroom dancing, SCUBA diving and cheering on the San Diego Chargers) … and others that are not so normal. In 2010, Cindy summited Mount Everest, and she's currently in training for the 1150-mile Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska.
More extraordinary? Cindy was diagnosed in 2007 with Wegener's Granulomatosis – a rare and incurable form of vasculitis that affects the nose, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. She's functionally blind in her left eye and suffers extreme joint pain, fatigue and circulation issues because of the disease.
Not really the kind of person you'd expect to be summiting Mount Everest or braving the extreme conditions of the Iditarod, is she?
When we first heard about Cindy and her remarkable story, we did what bootmakers do (naturally): We sent her some boots. As she trains to compete in the "Last Great Race on Earth," her feet will stay warm and dry in a pair of our Earthkeepers Stratton Tall boots.
Cindy's motivation for taking on these incredible challenges is simply to raise awareness for rare diseases such as her own – and that's a mission we're happy to support. In the coming months, we'll be providing updates on Cindy's training and preparation for the Iditarod on our women's site – please check back often to see how she's doing. In the meantime, you can learn more about Cindy and the journey that has brought her to this point on her website, reachingbeyondtheclouds.com. To offer your support, go to Cindy's fundraising page.

Classic Meets Contemporary: The "Nadège Winter for Timberland" Collection
Parisian style icon Nadège Winter likes nothing more than to mix fashion, design and urban eco-awareness. You can imagine our delight when she approached our Timberland Europe team with her idea for "reinterpreting" our iconic classic yellow boot for women!
We connected Nadège, a freelance artistic director and communication consultant, with our long-time partner TRAID, a UK-based nonprofit that recycles, customizes and sells second-hand clothes to fund overseas development projects. Together, they set out to create a collection of footwear that was both fashion-forward and environmentally-aware.
After rummaging through the stock in TRAID's London warehouse in search of fabrics, Nadège opted for statement Liberty, bandana and floral motifs for her designs:
The end result is a series of uniquely beautiful boots that have kept all of their classic charm — honey nubuck skin, golden eyelets and original laces – but with fresh, stylish, light-hearted print detail.
Starting this month, the limited edition (1600 pairs) "Nadège Winter for Timberland" collection will be available exclusively at prominent outlets and Timberland® stores across Europe.
Inspired by the Past, Designed for Today: Timberland Boot Company
When it comes time for a new web experience for one of your pinnacle collections, what do you do? For Timberland Boot Company, we wanted to do create something extra special, something that would match the quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail that is embodied in every shoe and boot that is in our Fall 2012 line. We also recognized that our heritage-inspired products are most often viewed on very modern technology, and so we created a site that's designed for optimum viewing on devices like iPads and iPhones … giving you, our consumers, the best Boot Company experience we can (without actually putting our products on your feet).
The Fall 2012 Boot Company website highlights beautiful product photography, shot in our own backyard (at a Peabody, MA leather tannery and Lowell, MA mill) — meant to convey the spirit of the post-Industrial era and the hardworking men and women who defined it.
Like those craftsmen who mixed tradition with innovation, our collection keeps one foot rooted in the past while the other treads fearlessly into the future. We think they would have liked the Fall 2012 Boot Company collection … and we hope you do, too. Take a look: www.timberlandbootcompany.com
Behind the Scenes: Timberland Boot Company Fall 2012 Photo Shoot
Timberland Boot Company examines an era defined by hardworking men and women in New England from 1900-1045. This was a time when the world was rapidly changing, with one foot firmly rooted in the past and the other relentlessly marching forward. Precipitated by the advent of machinery, craftsmen mixed tradition with innovation.
When it came time for our Fall 2012 Boot Company photo shoot, we kept this spirit in mind and traveled to Peabody, Massachusetts — the unrivaled Leather Capital of the World. In the 1920s, men endured long days in harsh conditions to create exceptional footwear. To capture their story, we endured our own long days and harsh conditions inside one of the last remaining leather tanneries in North America.
There we found lots of rich material to act as a back drop to our amazing Fall 2012 product (as well as lots of trash, mice and other gnarly stuff). The air was stale, but steeped in a rich history. In true Boot Company fashion, we found vintage leather dying barrels, handmade carts resting next to industrial measuring and cutting machines. Stacks of beautiful, multi-colored leather sat unused next to well-worn tools and gears. It would be a DIY, restoration aficionado's dream. Interestingly, you could chart the history of this tannery through the various pin-up girl calendars scattered throughout the building.
Over the next few days, we worked feverishly to get all the shots in the waning winter light. Once we were done, we found out that we were the last ones to use the building before it was destroyed to make way for a condominium housing complex. Time continues marching forward.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the Fall 2012 lookbook images. Enjoy and stay tuned — Timberland Boot Company's Fall collection will be available soon.
What Happens When 400 lbs of Steel Meet PRO Boots?
The short answer is nothing good … the longer answer (complete with visual) you'll find below in an email we received from Michael, a Timberland customer who most definitely does NOT have a desk job.
Hearing from Michael made our day – and do you know why? Because there's nothing better than hearing from people who have nice things to say about their Timberland products. Check out the Timberlove:
A few weeks ago while working, a large 400 lb block of steel fell on my foot from about waist level. The way it landed, the tip of the steel toe took most the weight but part of the "foot print" of the landing caused it to hit above where the steel toe ended, resulting in a broken big toe. The boot held up, other than a gash in the leather. That aside, I know for sure if I was wearing any of my other brand boots … it could have been worse. I just have to say, as I walk on my foot that I still have, I'm definitely a lifetime Timberland customer.
We also received the following from Hall — longtime Timberlover, first time commenter:
Over the past 15+ years I have purchased numerous Timberland garment items (jackets, shirts, shorts, socks, shoes, etc.), and I don't recall that I have ever worn out any of these items to the extent that they are not still suitable for wear. This is an unsolicited compliment concerning the uncommon quality of all your products and, therefore, I am never reluctant to buy any garment that bears the name of your company.
I felt compelled to stop what I was doing and give you encouragement to continue providing the inimitable quality of products that I have experienced during the last 15 years and I thank you so much!!!
Believe it or not, we also like to hear it when our products don't work the way they're supposed to – knowing when there's a problem helps us to create a solution. Got kisses or disses for us? Fire away.

Pets Can Help With Social Skills
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 08-02-2012 - 5:01pm
A small study suggests that introducing a new pet to your autistic child can help them improve some social skills:
It appeared that having a pet at all didn't matter as much as when the pet was introduced to the home. Autistic children who grew up with a pet from birth appeared to be no different from those living in households without pets, but children who received a pet at age 4 or 5 showed major improvement in two social skills that are not only difficult for autistic people, but are also critical in sustaining human relationships: sharing with others and comforting people in distress.

Have you noticed that giving your child a pet helped them in these areas? Would you consider getting your child a pet of their own?

It's been seven years since he put out his last feature-length film, Inland Empire, but David Lynch is still staying Renaissance-man busy.
When he isn't spreading the gospel of Transcendental Meditation or making Vines, the director of weirdo-cinema classics like Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks heads into the music studio, apparently; he's set to release his second album, The Big Dream, this summer. Lynch wrote 11 of the album's 12 songs on his followup to 2011's Crazy Clown Time — including a "signature take" on Bob Dylan's "The Ballad of Hollis Brown."

Gingerbread House Adds Holiday Spirit to Small Town
Submitted: 11/25/2012
- Kids and adults love gingerbread houses around the holidays.
But in Phelps, they're taking that passion one step further.
What was a vacant lot has turned into the perfect place to start a new holiday tradition.
This life-size gingerbread house was the idea of Shelly Ray, who designed it so that every detail is just perfect. "Shelly had it all mapped out, and said, 'you're doing this, you're doing this, you're doing this', then we all came together and did everything," says Tuckey Requa of the Phelps Chamber of Commerce.
"I've been stringing the lights, making candy canes, and helping to put rebar in," Phelps student Taylor Huca chimes in.
Between this gingerbread house, the candy canes, the lollipops, it took a team effort from the people in Phelps to make it happen.
It's a true sign of the community in the small town.
"There's tremendous support in this town for itself. People pull together amazingly here. It's a very, very committed community," Requa says.
While the team finished the house Sunday, the real unveiling will be on Friday.
Santa lights the town Christmas tree every year around this time before dozens of anxious kids.
For the first time, it will be here, by the gingerbread house.
"It's drop-dead perfect. It's perfect. It's going to look gorgeous when it's lit up," Requa says.
"It's actually better than I imagined that it would be," says Huca.
A better gingerbread house - starting a new tradition in town.
Santa's visit and tree lighting are at 6:30 Friday night in Phelps.

data migration
Data migration is the process of transferring data between data storage systems, data formats or computer systems.
Data management tools
Data migration is the process of transferring data between data storage systems, data formats or computer systems. A data migration project is usually undertaken to replace or upgrade servers or storage equipment, for a website consolidation, to conduct server maintenance or to relocate a data center.
Factors to consider in a data migration project include how long the migration will take; the amount of downtime required; and the risk to the business from technical compatibility issues, data corruption, application performance issues, and missed data or data loss.
There are three broad categories of data movers:
- Host-based software is best for application-specific migrations such as platform upgrades and for database replication and file copying.
- Array-based software is primarily used to migrate data between like systems.
- Network appliances migrate volumes, files or blocks of data depending on their configuration.
The following best practices should be used to protect data during a migration:
- Understand what data you are migrating, where it lives, what form it's in and the form it will take at its new destination.
- Extract, transform and deduplicate data before moving it.
- Implement data migration policies so data is moved in an orderly manner.
- Test and validate the migrated data to ensure it is accurate.
- Audit and document the entire data migration process.
