Regional Director
It is with great joy that we usher in the Christmas season this year. We have just been recently spared from a calamity that threatened to ruin our joyous celebration, and this calls for prayers of thanksgiving from all Bicolanos. We still need to join in the festivity that Christmas usually brings to people, despite the devastations brought about by natural calamities such as typhoons Glenda and Ruby, and the threat of the impending eruption of Mount Mayon. Whatever the circumstances are, Christmas time is an opportune moment to count our blessings and celebrate the birth of Christ in the most delightful way.
This is also a timely occasion for us to reflect as an organization about the essence that this season brings. As we count our blessings for having been equipped with the skills and facilities to address the various concerns that beset the educational system in the Region, let us all contemplate about what we can do more to better serve our pupils in the field. And as we continue to embark on our journey in public service, I enjoin every school official to keep in mind that we are serving the interests of these children whose bright futures we hold in our hands. Our best gift to them is compassion and understanding of their plight; especially those who are academically challenged and encountering difficulties in learning. Let us never tire of leading them to the right path and serving as their inspiration as these young minds continue to seek their rightful direction that will eventually lead to their completion of basic education.
This Christmas, and every day of our lives, let us always keep in mind that we are all stewards of change. We have to take this responsibility seriously, considering that we are entrusted with an accountability that will shape the lives of children today who will eventually become the members of our society in the near future. We want to secure that future for them, and ensure that our country will be better lived because we have given the best education that these children deserve.
Merry Christmas, everyone! Have a meaningful celebration of this season.

Is One's Course Preference Determined by NCAE Results
By: Ana Lisa P. Baluis
Secondary School Teacher III
Legazpi City
Doubts and presumptions are cleared when the subject hovers within one's experience, this, I realized upon my exercise of maternal obligation. My motherhood has brought me to ponder on the question of how reliable NCAE results are in the course preference among college entrants. How does it affect the choice of a career among college freshmen?
National College Assessment Examination (NCAE) is administered to Third Year students aimed at guiding them in their course preference as they enter college life. This program was conceptualized to prepare high school students in selecting a college course that would best fit them. One of the reasons for a declining economy is the so called "misfits" in the world of work and the government has found a way of escalating it through the administration of this NCAE. Misplaced workers, unemployment and underemployment arise from the wrong choice of course among college students. With this, NCAE was given birth to guide college entrants in their course preference.

I always look up to people who are leaders and their leadership inspire others to work.
I admire leaders whose personality are extraordinary. They possess qualities of agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability and openness to experiences. What does it mean ? Extraversion is someone who is sociable, talkative and assertive. Agreeableness is someone who is good-
Probe a woman who does not possess qualities of a leader but tends to believe she is a leader. She may not be consider a leader because she does not motivate others to work. She consider huge matters which will put other people to shame. Feeling rich as she is, she often does not smile thinking that she owns the world with her wealth and she can manipulate people to the best of her interest. She believes of herself only but, guessed others don't see her what she believes she is a leader. How can this woman develop others if she needs to be retooled and learn ethics, good manners and right conduct. Degrading and humiliating other people are bad traits of a leader. She may ruin and talk ill against someone for her to be pleasant and worth emulating in the eyes of dignified people.
Leaders who give considerations to her subordinates are worth rewarded. Considerations which may motivate them to do their job well. Leaders are guiders too. Guiders that they themselves are the model . They walk their talk.
Leaders are open minded-
Jennilyn is a woman who is not open minded. She always presumed that she does the right thing. Nobody can question her and that what she wants she gets it. She maybe perfectionist in all her dealings.
The real definitions of a good leader and to exercise leadership can be deduced from her.
A leader is sociable, talkative and assertive. A good leader can mingle with people in any walks of life. He can be friends with all people regardless of their economic status. He knows how to handle people feelings and analyze their behaviour. A good leader is a good speaker. He can talk well with sense and even explains well any topic. In decision making he is assertive. Assertive in the sense that he further explains to his subordinates the best solution to every situation. He has that sense of control over matters in issue not taking things personally, but professionally.
A leader is good natured, cooperative and trusting . A good natured leader loves somebody , anybody and everybody. He respects living and non-
A leader is responsible, dependable, persistent and achievement oriented. A leader who has that authority over his decision. He is accountable of all the actions made by people under her responsibility. A leader is someone whom one can depend on. Dependent for any assistance, guidance, technical skills, communication skills, operational skill and know how to run the organization. Persistent leaders are leaders who are risk takers. They stick to rules and regulations but sometimes go beyond the policy for the benefit and welfare of the majority. Achievement oriented leaders are men of action. They manifest the attainment of mission, vision, goals and objectives of the organizations.
A leader is one who is calm, enthusiastic and secure. A leader must always possess emotional stability. He can resist stress and has tolerance for various situations in the workplace. He is capacitated to give sound advice to people who need help for them not to panic amidst challenges. A leader is always energetic. He has that tremendous energy to boost others to work and maintain productivity and effectiveness. A leader is secure. He has that confidence that things should goes on smoothly. Normal as it may, in an organization, conflicts will always rise in a group. But a good leader is secured that he and his subordinates work together solve minor and even major problems.
Can we be leaders who are like Jesus Christ, willing to sacrifice his personal interest for the sake of his fellowmen? It's not too late to learn how to be a good leader. A great challenge! (8/27/2014)
The Need for School Principals as Instructional Leaders
by: Ms. Marivic P. Diaz, Ed.D.
Education Program Supervisor I
Ligao City Division
In the new millennium, the Philippines is aware of the global changes that bring about information to societies and new methods of learning based on a deeper comprehension of human capacity to think. "Education has become more global and international in its perspective. The Philippines continue to be more concerned about quality education that will respond to a technologically and information-
The challenges brought about by advancement in technology have a great impact in attaining quality education due to lack of qualified human resources that will lead in adopting these changes. It marks the difference in the direction of leadership styles that should be practiced by school leaders today. For indeed, we have to visualize the future. As Toffler quips:
All education springs from image of the future, and all education create images of the future. . . thus all education whether so intended or not is a preparation for the future. Unless, we understand the future for which we are preparing, we may do tragic damage to those we teach.
Education then calls for a strong leadership of school administrator like the school principal who would look into the enormous works and functions which can dramatically change or unchanged what happens in a particular school. As a leader in the 21st century, the principal will be far different from the principal of previous generations. He will have to face a different set of problems – the type of instruction and strategies, the school climate, the curriculum and approaches to be used. These are some of the challenges that a principal should be aware of insofar as attainment of quality education is concerned.
These concepts as cited by Sarajan 4 were supported by former Department of Education, Culture and Sports Secretary Gloria when he said that:
In developing our schools for the future programs, the key principle is to empower the school principal as an instructional leader so that together with a team of competent, committed and conscientious teachers, the potentials for pupil achievement can be brought to a higher level. Responsibility, authority and accountability for school improvement have been pushed down to the lowest level of the school.
In the new millennium, it is significant to recognize the pivotal role of the school principals as instructional leaders in creating a conducive teaching-
As instructional leaders, principals have to remember that good schools do not simply happen. Instead, what transpires in good school, functions in a way that which foster the achievement of the school goals. In good schools, people, process and technology -
Leaders need an ability to look through a variety of lenses. We need to look through the lens of the follower. We need to look through the lens of a new reality, through the lens of hard experience and failure, through the lens of unfairness and morality. We need to look hard at our future.
It is also equally important for principals as instructional leaders to recognize that it is necessary to establish and maintain the conditions for excellence and to enable others to collaborate to achieve excellence. Their role is to encourage collaborative groupings of teachers to play a more central role in the instructional, leadership of the school. This, then implies that one aspect of successful curriculum and instructional leadership is relying on the expertise of a strong teaching staff. As one principal so aptly stated, "one of the secrets of success for any principal is to surround himself with the best people he can have. If that is a given in any building that they're in, then they're off to the races." They need people, the kind of people who are willing to share, to take the risks, to work together, who are flexible and who really care about the pupils. . . nothing will happen if principals don't have these kind of teachers. Sergiovanni further supported these ideas when he said that:
As principals engage their teachers in more authentic and deliberate decision-
Furthermore, school principals need to consider how staff development will provide teachers as forum to discuss what are their learning as they teach, to consider new ideas they are generating or others are supporting. In like manner, there is a need to evaluate whether held beliefs, attitudes, knowledge and practice should be altered because they are interfering with the teachers' ability to accept and integrate new ideas or practices. Building upon this base, principals as instructional leaders, should consider providing teachers' staff development experiences that offer concrete illustrations which highlighted the reason to engage in new learning, as well as to apply what one is learning in classroom practice. Books asserts that staff development must afford teachers enough time to practice and experience new strategies as well as to be given a feedback concerning their performance as they struggle to integrate new ideas or practices with their style and mode of operation in working with pupils. In this way, staff development will influence classroom practice as teachers make new ideas, and practices their own strategies.
With this scenario, the principal as instructional leader is really the pivotal point within the school who affects the quality of individual teacher instruction, the height of pupils' achievement and the degree of efficiency in school functioning. They must be knowledgeable about curriculum development, teacher and instructional effectiveness, clinical supervision, staff development and teacher evaluation. Therefore, Stronge is right when he said that "if principals are to head the call for educational reforms to become instructional leaders it is obvious that they must take on a dramatically different role."
A principal may have grandiose visions for the school but without the respect of community, pupil and teachers, without the opportunities made accessible by professional organizations or the support of the other friends of education, such visions may remain beyond reach. Whether schools will be "beacons of brilliance" or "path holes of pestilence" depends largely upon the quality of leadership brought to the situation by the principal as instructional leader. How effective that instructional leadership will depend in turn, upon the conviction, credibility and competence of the principal and upon the degree to which constraints can be effectively removed or negated."
As educators, school principals are fully aware of the significant contribution of instructional leadership in the quest for quality education which is the main focus of education management. The government, the community and the school personnel are meant to provide the best educational opportunities to the learners. In search for effective, efficient and cost saving strategies to attain quality education, the need to have school principals as instructional leaders is of great importance and must be given due consideration.

Speech by Reagan's son postponed
Aug. 05, 2013 @ 02:09 PM
Conservative political commentator Michael Reagan's personal appearance scheduled for Aug. 17 at the Richard Childress Racing Events Center has been postponed.
The eldest son of former President Ronald Reagan will return to North Carolina in the early spring at a date to be determined, organizers of the event say.
"It's unfortunate we had to reschedule," said Mark Garrow, president of Garrow and Associates, who is promoting the event. "On the plus side, Mr. Reagan is still coming and we will have a new date figured out in, hopefully, the next 60 days. We're anticipating that will be late March or early April."
All tickets that have been sold for Aug. 17 will be good for the new date or will be refunded.

(KTSF by Jessie Liang)
San Francisco, CA – Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), Asian Law Caucus (ALC), and the Progressive Workers Alliance (PWA) announced the over $316,000 settlement of a major wage theft case in San Francisco, which resolved claims for unpaid wages, tips, meals and rest break premiums and penalties. It had been filed by eight immigrant workers from Pho Clement Vietnamese restaurant in the Richmond District.
The community organizations stated the eight restaurant workers from Pho Clement were working 12.5 hours per day for 6 to 7 days a week, earning an hourly wage of approximately $5.20, far below the $10.24 now mandated by San Francisco's minimum wage law.
The former Pho Clement worker Zhuo Quan Huang says they didn't know the state's labor law so they faced great hardship from wage theft and the long hours worked.
Another former Pho Clement worker, Luong Vuong, organized his seven Chinese and Vietnamese coworkers and sought assistance from CPA and ALC. In spite of their fears and language barriers, the workers persevered.
Organizers at CPA and legal advocates at ALC helped the workers file individual claims for amounts not included in the citations issued by the state labor agency. A few months later, ALC and the state agency were able to negotiate a lump sum settlement including the employer's commitment to follow applicable employment and labor laws in the future.
Shaw San Liu, lead organizer at CPA says, "Workers who are unlawfully treated by their employers should come out and fight for their rights. The community organizations and the state and city agencies are willing to help workers to restore wages that they earned."
In addition, PWA recently helped one worker from a restaurant in Chinatown win over $53,000 in unpaid overtime and minimum wages. The CPA also stresses that restoring wages to the workers who earned them can be a boom for the local economy as well because 70% of the US economy relies on consumer spending.
Workers who have a complaint about wage theft can go to their local Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) office. For more information, visit www.dir.ca.gov/dlse.

Like all Liblabconners his position will change as it suits him.
If Cameron had come out today saying "no referendum", would Ed Moribund now be demanding one?
My only policy is to oppose all other policies. Unless another party also has the policy to oppose policy, in which case I would be against opposing policies…I think.
I'd better just check with the unions first.
Nick Clegg was insistent on an in/out referendum. Right up until it became a possibility there might be one.
Are you two related?
Why don't we have the vote in the next few months?
We still don't know what Cameron wants from EU. It could be even a bottle of wine. Then there is trust, can Cameron can be trusted after a people had voted when he broke the cast iron ..?
Vote in the next few months? Because the vote will not happen – it is just a ploy by Cameron and his tory mates to scrape a few more votes together for May 2015 genius.
Taking Farage's thunder he is. I am looking forward to what he has to say with all this shallow rubbish and conning by Dave Cee.
Vote in the next few months? Because the vote will not happen – it is just a ploy by Cameron and his tory mates to scrape a few more votes together for May 2015 genius.
Taking Mige Fs thunder he is. I am looking forward to what he has to say with all this shallow rubbish by Dave.
Vote in the next few months? Because the vote will not happen – it is just a ploy by Cameron to grab some votes. Wonder what Farage has to say.
Essentially speaking Nige said, "It is just a ploy by Cameron to grab some votes". 10/10 for mind-reading, sir!
If Cameron came out and said it's not a good idea to murder your own children the sockmouthed unionista would have to, by default, tell us all to get out there and start murdering.
At least he's nailed his colours to the mast
Instead of counting on, as time slips past
Events making a vote irrelevant
And meanwhile spieling a right load of cant
At PMQs, Ed Miliband should call for an EU referendum – in 2015
He really is the gift that keeps on giving ….
Miliband plainly thinks that the people need saving from the possibility that, by giving them the right to make a choice, they might make a disastrous mistake. On that basis, can we scrap the 2015 general election?
Do fuck off. The establishment want their rent-seeking hidey hole called the EUSSR to rip us off.
those being ripped off want out NOW!
Referendum NOW!
Kent County Councillor for Sheppey and Swale Borough Councillor for Minster Cliffs, Adrian Crowther, has left the Conservative Party to join UKIP
The fatal in the Prime Minister's plan is, of course, that should we get out of Europe, the UK civil service would be running the country.
Agreed – Miliband will wait for the most appropriate bandwagon to leave before he jumps on it.
Breath taking comment from Caroline Flint on DP. She claimed that the Referendum Lock that the coalition introduced to stock further powers being seized by the EU was THEIR law.
Caroline Flint lied. Go get her Guido,
Fuck an actual policy !!!!!!!!!!
miliband is a c'unt
Cameron doesnt appear to have heard him as he was still asking him to state his position after he said it !!!!
I was amazed he did not pick up on it. An open goal. A proffered jugular.
Legs wide open stating "ram it into me big boy take me now "
and Dave missed it !!!
Yes it was an astonishing gaff, frankly unbelievable. Those around him and in following questions seemed to try to help him wexploit the opportunity but he lost it. Otherwise it was a better day for Cameron. Why does no one stop that awful leftie woman on the politics show always leading on selected anti tory emails. Even Andrew seems embarrassed about the lack of balance sometimes.
Good on Grant Schapps for pointing out that a positive story about the fall in unemployment figures had been dropped from the DP running order.
And just afterwards Dave claimed that Ed wouldn't say if he wants one…
I don't know about Cameron shooting UKIP's fox but there's a chance Miliband just did, along with his foot.
Milliband has just confirmed what we all knew.
He's total plonker completely out of touch with the British public.
was Balls in today? Or was he paying in some cheques at a Bank miles away from his work or home?
There but out os shot
Which home would that be ? The Family one in Yorkshire or errrr the Family home in London ?
Perhaps underpants was trying to find out he was busily texting throughout QT; then again maybe he was answering certain 'add's.
Balls escaped being tarnished with the "No to a Referendum" label.
A bit like Major making himself scarce when the Tories were stabbing Thatcher in the back.
No No No
You might want to change that date to 2013, G
Bloody hell Theresa May looks ill. Stress ????
Too much shagging.
Whatever, I still really love Theresa May !!!
Positions & policies , I feel , are very much over rated .
Tough on democracy, tough on the causes of democracy.
If Cameron was smart, after that massive gaffe, call an election soon and hoist Lab and Libdems up on the gallows with Clegg and Milliband hanging themselves.
Except the silly arse signed up to the LimpDums wheeze of fixed-term Parliaments. The only way he can engineer it now is to push them to the point of quitting the Coalition.
Propose a lentil and beard tax. That will send them running from the exit.
LMAO don't forget a sandals tax, that'll have them heading for the hills.
the advantage for the Tories is that most Liberal democrats, whether male or female, have sandals and beards.
Corduroy trouser tax?
By the way – does Cameron shave, upstairs that is? Never see any bumfluff on his chops.
Special 100% VAT on lentils is needed, I say. And on vegiburgers too – like eating fried grass they are.
There's nothing wrong with lentils.
They're quite useful for thickening a meat stew.
Except he isn't locked in at all, a vote of no confidence triggers an election, all he has to do is call for confidence then Lib/Lab would have to vote confidence in the government of face the voters.
Ed was expecting Cameron to say No and so didn't hear the three Yes's and conseqently got f*cked over and ended up saying No to a referendum
Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed Ed
We love you! Keep right on pal!
To begin with, I'll cover the legal formalities. Stuart Hall is innocent until proven guilty as the mantra goes, though I prefer a less didactic approach and use the Shrodinger's Cat analogy, whereby the accused occupies a state where he is neither guilty or innocent until he is removed from the dock.
Technically the writer here is wrong if the analogy is to hold.
The accused occupies a state where he is both guilty and innocent until he is removed from the dock.
In the many worlds theory he is not even in the dock somewhere
If we were talking about someone else (which of course we are not – perish the thought!) then that is not unlike the real world then. :-)
The flaw in the Many Worls theory is of course if it was true then somewhere "out there" Milliband would have some Policies :)
Milliband has no balls – he still has Balls.
Let's get this straight. If we ever do get a referendum (and Cameron knows he's going to lose the next election) and we voted to leave the EU, the BBC, Guardian and left establishment will never let it happen.
They would get round it by getting some sort of agreement from the EU to opt out of certain things, we'd vote again (like they keep doing in Ireland) until we give in and agree.
The EU then forgets all about what is 'promised' and the political establishment carries on as before.
Exactly, thats what my moniker is all about !
and then we have a massive civil war.
Ya think, DiNozzo?
How is Cameron going to lose the election? A 5% Labour lead mid-way through an austerity government won't translate into a Labour lead on polling day, or anything remotely like it. Miliband is on course for the biggest Labour defeat since 1983.
Only to be expected, a socialist is not going to rule out membership of the EUSSR.
Millibandus Minimus, as the son of a Marxist rhetorician, no doubt hopes for a senior role in the EuroPolitBuro.
So much for Labour's committment to democracy, freedom and choice, a flash of their true colours, bright red with a hammer and sickle in blue in the top right corner surrounded by 30 gold stars.
Yes, Ed's whole world is Camden and student politics of the extreme left. He wants to do what his father told him to do and was unable to do himself, f… this country. Ed's never met a working man in his life and would not have the faintest idea what to say. Surley the least credible PM hopeful ever.
He said HE wouldn't want a in/out referendum which isn't the same as a party decision.
Considering "anything to keep my job Dave" and his amazing referendum cant say what the new things he wants from Europe and wouldn't say then what he would do when he won't get them.
Not so much a line in the sand but a big long undulating scribble.
Excellent point by Eleanor Laing and one that the Tories need to remind people of at every opportunity.
Labour just shot themselves in the foot.
Feeling a bit dirty for betting against your own team, Eddos Traitorelli!
Elinor Laing just summed it up in a nutshell. Vote Conservative get a referendum , vote Labour and you wont. Now if only we could trust Cameron to stick to his word hmmmm
Cameron failed to ram home what Militit said,NO referendum from labour.
Not only that he completely failed to grasp what Milliband said, as he continued to askhim what he would do even after he stated it in no uncertain terms !!!!
I can't face watching it again but I thought that for some time that Milliband continued to be rather ambiguous and only gave a categorical refusal to have one at the end of his questions?
Let's hope the Conservatives remind him at every opportunity that he has refused to allowed the British people any say in the future of the relationship with the EU.
Milliband obviously thought his scripted line about "Part-time Chancellor" was very witty, he needs a better script writer
Miliband had Cameron up against a wall, pummelling him again and again, and then he fucks it all up, but stating Labour is against an In Out referendum.
No UK in EU = No cosy little Kinnochio type 'roles' for failed Labourites.
Of course they don't want a fucking referendum.
Don't worry Ed. As a good federast, I'll make sure we don't get a referendum either by losing to you, or whoever replaces you, or by deciding post election that the EU's changed so much, it would be silly to hold one.
"The question tonight is whether to add to that by passing legislation in the next session of this Parliament to provide for a referendum…
…which would include a question on whether Britain should leave the EU altogether.
This was not our policy at the election and it is not our policy now.
Let me say why I continue to believe this approach would not be right…
…why the timing is wrong…
…and how Britain can now best advance our national interests in Europe.
First, it's not right because our national interest is to be in the EU, helping to determine the rules governing the single market – our biggest export market, which consumes more that 50 per cent of our exports and which drives much of the investment into the UK.
That is not an abstract, theoretical argument: it matters for millions of jobs and millions of families in our country.
That's why successive Prime Ministers have advocated our membership of the EU.
Second, it's not the right time, at this moment of economic crisis, to launch legislation that includes an in-out referendum.
When your neighbour's house is on fire, your first impulse should be to help him put out the flames…
…not least to stop the flames reaching your own house.
This is not the time to argue about walking away.
Not just for their sakes, but for ours.
Legislating now for a referendum, including on whether Britain should leave the EU, could cause great uncertainty and could actually damage our prospects of growth. Third, and crucially, there's a danger that by raising the prospect of a referendum – including an in/out option – we miss the real opportunity to further our national interest."
Rt. Hon Dave Gimmick, October 2011
like Cameron is ever going to give an in/our referendum once he is secure in Number 10 at the next election. you people are deluded.
You presume he will be voted in by a deluded electorate who have not been blessed with the foresight of your astute mind.
I take it that means he has neatly avoided any policy talk about their position on a half-way in/out referendum as well then.
What a f_cking mong! The clown is too thick to even work out what he needs to do to get power! We need to get rid of every single one of the current membership of the HOC. They are damaged goods that needs to put in the waste. We need a new generation of MPs who come do not from the closeted world of the elite. Both Cameron and Millbean need to be defeated in elections to get rid of them. If Cameron wins the next GE then that is Millbean gone, the struggle then will be to win the Out vote, that is if Dave is going to let you have that vote! But if he loses the vote then that's him gone as well! Works for me and then we can get some real Conservative values.
I didn't jump up and down at PMQ's today. Frankly I put on a stone last month and I haven't the energy.
I wonder which current matter Theresa May is grappling with in her role as Home Secretary which has resulted in her looking like she hasnt slept or eaten in weeks ?????
Wouldn't is be nice if we could sprinkle all the money handed out by the EU godfathers with radio active particles and then run a geiger counter round Westminster.
Mili, Beeb and Guardian all bet (and hope) that within the first-past-the-post constituency-based system UKIP will garner sufficient votes and libdems will lose not too many to make a new con-dem coalition impossible and foster a lab-lib coalition.
Expect the BBC fronted by Nicky Campbell to now go all out on a wall of pro EU propaganda.
A Lab/Con coalition is the most logical arrangement, they both seem to share pretty much the same ideology, Lenin v Trotsky (all those ice picks flying around, oh, what fun!).
Milliband has paved the way for a Lib Lab pact-and we all know how the last one worked out.
What on earth was Mrs Dromey on about when he talks of British workers?
I think he needs to go and have a chat with his old boss 'poopy pants' in Kikardy.
When he says "we" I presume he does not mean the Royal We, so on whose behalf is he speaking for? And how does he know what they want unless he has asked them?
Labour has had a lot of time to prepare for this and they've still managed to create a ballsed-up, tactically incompetent position.
They may just have thrown Dave & Co a lifeline for a true blue gov in 2015. Something very few thought possible before the beginning of this year.
The oiks make a fatal mistake in assuming the toffs are stupid, and get rings run round them for it.
Cameron has always been a dead-cert winner for 2015, people just have very short memories and think a small lead mid-term in an austerity government will translate into a Labour victory in 2015. It won't. Foot and Kinnock had mid-term poll leads in the mid 20s and went on to lose. Miliband's lead with the only pollster that matters has fallen to 5%.
Today, I will be playing the 'Love on the Dole' suite by Richard Addinsell.
Followed by 'Ain't No Pleasing You' by Chas and Dave.
Not very bright, is he?
his brother David will challenge for leadership saying he will offer referendum 2015
Absolutely right, Mr Dick.
Doo you think Balls absence from the house was to distance himselffrom the predicted fuck up by Ed ?
He was there but Ed had wee Dougie next to him to add gravitarse.
Is Wee Doogie dying his hair?
My position is no – We don't want a posturing ninny as the next Prime Minister.
It will be interesting to see if Ed's position today is picked up on by UKIP (which it should be) and they manage to capitalize on this.
One suspects that not all core Labour voters are super keen on the EU either and that statement combined with Camerons lack of convincing action may help slow loss of Conservative support and stimulate a flow from Labour.
Perhaps the only reason Cameron did not make a point of this is that he does not actually want that to happen, or mistakenly thinks that his more pragmatic approach will win support.
The whole issue of 'negotiation' is false: There is no negotiation over sovereignty which is to the point. Entering into a negotiation from a stated negative position is not smart normally, unless you are talking about an absolute right being relinquished which has not been consented to by the people you represent.
David Cameron is an inspiration to medusozoae everywhere!
Does Huhne have to put all of these Court attendances down as holiday?
Surely innocent till proven guilty, but he should not be paid for the time spent on external matters?.
Could DC just have saved the Lib Dems from total destruction at the next General Election?
Vote Lib Dem rather than Labour, thus enabling those disgruntled leftwingers to not break the tradition of never voting Tory, get 'touchy-feely moderation' of Conservative policies (supposing coalition) AND a vote on the EU?
Surely the Clegg and Cameron combo won't con the british electorate again in 2015 with pure lies? Once bitten twice shy, and all that?
Tuition fees pledge? Referendum promise? They are more likely to turn to UKIP or abstain.
I am most displeased by this inconvenience.
I shall forgive this lapse if you sign this new EU budget, increasing 13% for the next ten years.
This is where his brother comes out from stage right and shouts, "OH YES WE DO !!!! "
Which ever way you look at Millibland's position, he is a SILLY boy!
The obvious is, as stated in the article, he has put himself on the wrong side of the argument……….. but what about the confidence thing?
Cambo has placed his reliance on winning over the electorate. Bland has decided he couldn't do that!
RT @jameschappers: Terrible confusion in Lab ranks. Aides now suggesting Miliband didn't mean to rule out a referendum forever #PMQs <haha
— Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) January 23, 2013
What arguement? Cameron was all over the French last week, licking them all over, for sending their troops into Mali, while he gives UB40s to our sharp-end lads.
I see the Cheshire Cat re-materialised on Radio 4 today (oh, Mandy!)
That is one hell of a lisp which Ed is spraying out in that pic.
The only in/out Miliband will have is when the party decides to throw him out. Miliband is totally bereft of any ideas, he only offers negativity and carping-on.
You know what, he's a gurning elitist North London left wing wanker and I would just as soon eat a Tescos burger with a jockey's whip sticking out of it than vote for him, but at least he is being honest and upfront about what his party's position is.
He's not lying that he can renegotiate powers back from an EU that only tolerates our current foot-dragging because of how much money we pay in. He's not using the promise of a distant in/out referendum as a bribe to UKIP defectors to come back and Tory Eurosceptics to shut up till after the election.
He's a useless fuckwit who's just lost Labour the election.
Does anyone seriously believe, that while David Cameron is the leader of the Conservatives, the tories will ever offer an in/out referendum on Europe?
They keep banging on about how its down to the people now, except it isn't. There's no guarantee that even if negotiations are unsucessful, it will be put to the people. Not only that, there is no indication of what a successful negotitation would look like.
This is just Cameron kicking the can further down the road in the hope of re-election.
The sad thing is both Labour and Lib Dem's positions are somehow worse. You have to be a fool of the highest degree to outright say no to a referendum.
In or Out? Trolololol.
Look here, I can't be seen to agree with the tory position, that would mean I have no views of my own.
My strategy is clear and considered, I must disagree with anything the other gang propose.
Why does no one understand my position? Its just not fair.
So basically he's lost the guidophile vote?
He'll be gutted.
Milliband has lost nothing we all knew he would be against a Referendum he was just thick enough to say it at PMQs
The real question is do we believe Dave ?
Er NO !!
My position is that I don't want a referendum because I will have to make a decision. In short …. we are fucked
He's a complete twat and no believer in true democracy.
The simple retort is: we want you either Mr Milliminor.
What's happened to Huhne today?
Who's this "we", Keemosabi?
What a cnut millipede is. Don't want the peasants actually having say when the liebor tossers know better what is good for us peons. Typical leftie pusbags.
It really doesn't matter what Miliband says, he is an irrelevance. Ed Miliband will never become PM. That he has positioned himself on the wrong side of the argument is depressing but unsurprising.
What's even worse for Labour is that they now have the disgraced Peter Mandelson going around TV studios speaking on their behalf.
BBC R4 PM in full EU mode picking DC to bits.!
The cnuts in the the BBC always analyse from the pro-EU slant, there is no impartiality, twats!
In other words, Millibrand doesn't think that the British people should be able to decide for themselves, absolutely, who makes the rules that govern them?
The government ignore what people want on the NHS, but you probably don't care about this.
To be fair we already did one – it was called Harold Wilson
This Milliband chap is more and more annoying : the new hectoring Fish Wife style is very annoying indeed …
Most normal people would prefer a referendum on the NHS bill, not this bollocks.
My family have lived in the same village for over 500 years. Where was Miliband's family 500 years ago? Where were they 100 years ago? Miliband should fuck off back to Poland or Belgium if he loves the EU so much. Who is he to tell us which direction our country should take?
But please note the double negative, there.
"No we do not…" So, does this mean that Ed really does want one? Or not? Does he know what he wants? What? Neil Kinnock fears for his EU pension? Is THAT why Labour is in the thrall of the EU, now?
Being in opposition doesn't mean you have to disagree with every single thing. Would you rather England became like Greece or is it better to try and improve and go forward

From "Racist," To "Dick," To Heckling: How The Press Treats Obama
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Neil Munro's infamously brazen and boorish act of disrespect last week at the White House represented an eruption of frustration that's been building within the right-wing media during Obama's time was president. That a partisan, political player from the Daily Caller would shout angry comments at the president, interrupting him while he gave a formal statement in the Rose Garden, was simultaneously shocking and quite predictable.
Shocking because the behavior was more akin to Nixonian rat fucking than it was to journalism.
Predictable though, because the GOP Noise Machine has for years depicted Obama as a lowly, un-American dictator/criminal; as someone unworthy of respect, which is exactly how Munro treated him. The only difference was that instead of doing that in the hothouse confines of Daily Caller's website where openly hating Obama in the expected norm, Munro lashed out in a very public setting.
Unfortunately, the casual tone of Oval Office disrespect that's become a hallmark of the right-wing media has found some pockets of acceptance, and even imitation, within the mainstream press. Yes, the press universally condemned the Daily Caller's classless attempt to upstage the president mid-sentence. But you can spot mainstream bouts of derogatory chatter that would have been unlikely when a Republican was in the White House. (Yes, it was Time's Mark Halperin who called Obama a "dick" on national television.)
Much like with the Clinton presidency, there has been a consuming effort by the conservative media (and the Republican Party) to delegitimize the current Democratic presidency. The difference this time, thanks to the shifting media landscape, is that right-wing name-calling has been ramped up and a runaway lack of civility is now worn like a badge of conservative honor.
Recall that following Obama's 2010 State of the Union Address, conservative media players responded to the president's policy-heavy speech by calling him a "grating," "flippant," "arrogant" "jerk" who's "cocky" and can't hide his "fake sincerity."
This, of course, after Glenn Beck strolled onto the set of Fox & Friends in July of 2009 and announced the President of the United States was a "racist" with a "deep-seated hatred for white people."
You probably can't even count the number of insults and smears that have been hurled at Obama by the GOP press, although Sally Kohn recently did a nice job of highlight some of the more vile broadsides:
- "We're now governed by people who do not like the country" -- Rush Limbaugh re: President Obama
- President Obama wants to "destroy capitalism" -- Hermann Cain
- President Obama "certainly isn't one of us" -- John Hinderaker
- President Obama "doesn't put America first" -- John Hawkins
- Questioning President Obama's patriotism -- David Limbaugh
- President Obama is "ruling" the US according to the dreams of his "philandering, inebriated African socialist" Kenyan father -- Dinesh D'Souza
- President Obama was "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia" -- Donald Trump
And it's not just the fringe players, either. Supposedly serious pundits who work at places like the Wall Street Journal have also spent an inordinate amount of time calling the president names instead of actually critiquing his policies. Journal columnist Bret Stephen lashed out at the president (and former Harvard Law Review editor) by calling him "stupid," while Peggy Noonan has labeled Obama a "boring" "loser" and a "walking headache" who ought to just "shut up."
Erudite commentary this is not.
The problem is that that kind of purposeful noise pollution cannot be discounted in terms of how it affects the mainstream media's dealings with Obama.

Lifemark administrator set to quit role
Eric Collard of KPMG Luxemburg is stepping down from his role as Lifemark provisional administrator and resigning from KPMG, Money Marketing understands.
It is understood he wants to remain as Lifemark provisional administrator until the liquidity issue is resolved.
The collapse of Keydata, which offered products underpinned by Lifemark life settlement plans, triggered a £326m FSCS levy associated with Lifemark, which saw advisers pay £93m.
Lifemark policies are designed to generate a return based on life insurance payouts. The firm, which entered into administration in November 2009, is suffering a liquidity issue owing to a lack of mortalities earlier this year.
In August, Money Marketing revealed Collard had been approached with a loan facility of up to £91m arranged by Keydata founder Stewart Ford to allow Lifemark to come out of administration and cover outstanding premium and servicing costs.
Collard is thought to be considering the loan facility, as well as an alternative £18m loan from the FSCS and the IMA.

Jacqueline Winspear - Leaving Everything Most Loved
In Leaving Everything Most Loved ($26.99) by New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Winspear, Maisie Dobbs investigates the murder of Indian immigrants in London. The year is 1933. Maisie Dobbs is contacted by an Indian gentleman who has come to England in the hopes of finding out who killed his sister two months ago. Scotland Yard failed to make any arrest in the case, and there is reason to believe they failed to conduct a thorough investigation. The case becomes even more challenging when another Indian woman is murdered just hours before a scheduled interview. Meanwhile, unfinished business from a previous case becomes a distraction, as does a new development in Maisie's personal life. Bringing a crucial chapter in the life and times of Maisie Dobbs to a close, Leaving Everything Most Loved marks a pivotal moment in this outstanding mystery series.
Jacqueline Winspear is the author of the New York Times bestsellers A Lesson in Secrets, The Mapping of Love and Death, Among the Mad, and An Incomplete Revenge, as well as four other nationally bestselling Maisie Dobbs novels. She has won numerous awards for her work, including the Agatha, Alex, and Macavity awards for the first book in the series, Maisie Dobbs, which was also nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Novel and was a New York Times Notable Book. Originally from the United Kingdom, she now lives in California.

This figure includes the $54.6 million received last quarter. Subject to the receipt of a third-party consent, it is anticipated that Kmart will receive the remaining sale proceeds during the fourth quarter.
As previously reported, Kmart and Home Depot entered into a revised agreement that provided for the sale of no fewer than 13 stores for $173 million in cash, and up to 19 stores for $288.5 million in cash.
Julian C. Day, president and CEO of Kmart, said, "We are pleased to announce the successful completion of this transaction. The stores we are retaining from the originally announced transaction have been operating profitably and better than plan for this year. We look forward to providing continued service to our customers at these locations."

Women in World War I Yeomen - Washington DC
Part I
World War I's rapid expansion of the Navy and War Departments produced a massive building boom in the Nation's Capital. Dozens of quickly-constructed "temporary" buildings were erected in Washington, D.C., parks and other open land to house the huge bureaucracies that administered the war effort. The most substantial of these structures, the Main Navy and Munitions Buildings, stretched along the south side of Constitution Avenue, NW, from 17th to about 21st Streets. Built of reinforced concrete and brick, with extensive glass windows, these two buildings were occupied in 1918. Many members of their initial work forces were Yeomen (F).
After the conflict's end, most of the wartime "temporary" buildings were gradually demolished. However, Main Navy and Munitions lasted far longer than intended. They served through the Second World War, the Korean War and most of the Vietnam War. In 1970, much to the amazement of the many "old hands" who had seen such decisions come and go uneventfully in the past, the Nixon Administration decided to tear down the old buildings and actually did it. Constitution Gardens park and part of the Vietnam War Memorial now occupy their sites.
This page, and those linked from it, feature images of Yeoman
(F) and other Naval personnel and civilians at work in Navy Department
offices in the Main Navy and Munitions Buildings, during 1918-1919.
These photographs provide a fine visual representation of early
20th Century office conditions, personnel and equipment.

Tigers Gear Up For Road Trip At Cal Poly, UCSB
The Pacific women's basketball team continues its four-game road swing with a trip to Cal Poly (Thursday, 7 p.m.) and UC Santa Barbara (Saturday, 2 p.m.).
The Tigers (10-8 overall, 3-3 Big West) look to bounce back from road loss at UC Davis Saturday. The Tigers fell 58-51 in a game that was a two point contest with five seconds to go.
Pacific had won 10 of 14 entering the match-up with the Aggies and fell behind early as Davis hit eight of their first 11 shots. The Tigers defense locked down after that, holding the Aggies to 13-of-44 shooting the rest of the way (29.5 percent), but against the Big West's number one scoring defense, Pacific couldn't climb all the way back.
Kendall Rodriguez scored 16 second-half points, including 13 in the final 8:33 of the game, helping the Tigers pull within 53-51 with 37 seconds to go. After a defensive stop, the Tigers' three-point attempt for the lead rimmed out, and the Aggies hit six of six free throws in the final four seconds for the margin of victory.
"We've got to bounce back, and we're on the road again against two tough teams," head coach Lynne Roberts said. "These are two big positioning games for us."
Pacific is among a log-jam of four teams in the Big West with three conference losses, but can gain separation this weekend, taking on Cal Poly and UC Santa Barbara, who are each 3-3 in the Big West.
Cal Poly opened Big West play with three wins, but have dropped three straight since. The Mustangs boast the conference's leading scorer, Kristina Santiago, who sits third in the nation with 23.6 points per game.
"She is a force, so we know we have our hands full with her," Roberts said. "You've got to do your best to slow her down."
Pacific has held its opponent leading scorer to below their season average in 13 of 18 games. The group of 18 leading scorers average 14.3 points per game on the year, but have combined to average 11.8 against Pacific.
On Saturday, the Tigers visit UC Santa Barbara, where Pacific knocked off the Gauchos in the Big West quarterfinals last season. The Tigers ended a 24-game home win streak by UCSB in the series, by using a 29-11 run in the final 17:14 to erase a 14-point deficit.
The Tigers will conclude their four-game road stretch on Feb. 4 at Cal State Fullerton before returning to the Alex G. Spanos Center on Feb. 9 to face UC Riverside.

That was before imaging. I'll reimage and report back.
Yes. That is post imaging, right? I presume it doesn't say that beforehand?
That was before imaging. I'll reimage and report back.
This is the disk info after imaging DC7900 after (2).JPG As you can see the end of sda2 is 1 cylinder more than before imaging.
I've taken another image this time with fog set to multiple partition single disk and that works fine on the desktops so just sending that to a different type of DC7900 to check that works.
Well the image works with the other type of DC7900 so I'm happy with that. While I was playing with fog I reinstalled win7 deleting the partitions and letting win7 create a new one. Fdisk listed the partitions as shown in the first screenshot. I took an image using single partition single disk but when reimaging the client wouldn't boot and gave the same error as before so it looks like I must use the multiple partition option.
Last edited by Jobos; 31st May 2012 at 05:48 PM.
As an aside, I have created my W7 image within a VM. I have had no issues imaging and deploying this through FOG. Initially I forgot about the 100mb system partition and set fog to upload the image as SINGLE partition. this still worked just fine on my first test PC. I since then use multiple partition model within fog and all is still well.
I think FOG automatically takes the system partition in to account. It may need the Host OS section to be set to Windows 7 before you upload the image, but all of my Windows 7 images are set to Single Partition and I've had no trouble deploying them. It's preferable to use Single Partition where possible because FOG can automatically resize the partition for you.
Sorry I forgot to say, I *did* set the host OS to windows 7 before upload so probably the same as you (i.e. have no issues). I only use a single partition on my PCs so I simply tell unattend.xml to expand.

1. The 'AutoLogon' part under OOBE in the AIK says to add the password, however for the life of me I could not figure out how to do this within the software. I ended up saving the unattend.xml file, then copying the password section from the later local accounts section and pasted it in using notepad. It then appeared in the AIK software.
2. If you have the Fog Service installed on the client, and you have it set to join Active Directory or similar, then your machine will restart whilst it is trying to set up the drivers. To resolve this, I added a net stop "Fog Service" to the setupcomplete.cmd file, and then a net start "Fog Service" to the end of the RemoveD.cmd file.
3. The script for removing the drivers folder refers to deleting a C:\D folder. This isn't needed any more, as that folder is auto-cleaned by the driver tool now.
Jobos (20th June 2012)
Oh, also, I found that the driver packs aren't 100% with our laptops - in particular, the multi-card reader and the free fall sensors didn't get installed on an Dell Latitude E5420. So, I crafted a custom driver pack using the instructions here: [Tutorial] Making your own DriverPacks for n00bs (Page 1) - 3rd Party DriverPacks - DriverPacks.net Forum
Fujitsus need an ACPI driver too, nothing critical though.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
