Providence, R.I.--Elena T. Yee, a former administrator at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, Calif., has begun serving as the first director of Providence College's Balfour Office for Multicultural Activities (BOMA).
Located in the Slavin Center, BOMA is a newly designed unit within the Office of Student Affairs Administration that engages the campus community through a number of multicultural events, activities, and opportunities. The focus of the office is to provide a place where members of the College community--representing a variety of backgrounds--can participate in meaningful engagement.
Prior to joining the College, Yee served as director of intercultural programs and as coordinator of student ministries and missions from 2000-11 at Westmont, which is a Christian liberal arts college.
Her duties included training students on issues relating to diversity and leadership; organizing volunteer opportunities for students; advising student organizations that conducted community service in southern California, Mexico, and overseas; and partnering with members of the college community to retain students of color and offer diversity programming.
From 2006-09, Yee was fund development co-chair for Just Communities Central Coast in Santa Barbara. She also served as a member of the organization's board of directors and advisory board. The community-based organization offers cultural competency training to organizational leaders, seminars for the general public, leadership training for students and teachers, and consultation to local agencies for diversity and organizational change initiatives.
Yee earned a bachelor's degree in industrial technology from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell. She received her master's degree in intercultural studies from Wheaton College (Ill.).
Drawn to "commitment to diversity"
A native of Massachusetts, Yee said she was drawn to the position because of the "clear commitment to diversity" shown by PC.
"It's an opportunity to enact a vision for which all students--of every race, ethnicity, and creed--may engage and respond to the realities, gifts, and challenges that come with being diverse," she said.
Yee said her initial goals are to share the vision for BOMA with the campus community and to organize diversity programs with student organizations, academic departments, and staff.
"The vision is to provide opportunities for all students to cultivate and deepen their intercultural understanding through building intentional relationships with one another, examining historical and theological perspectives, serving locally and globally for mutual benefit, and providing collaborative educational programs on- and off-campus for learning and growth," she said.

Moving with a cat
At the end of Feb I have the pleasure of moving my boyfriend's cat from New York to South Carolina, a distance of about 900 miles. I'm not quite sure on the best way to do this. Anyone have any tips or pointers?
Are you travelling by car?
A crate would be a good idea. Get a leash for potty stops.

2. If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm chewing something up, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If it's broken, it's yours.
Don't be surprised if the kittie leaves a stinky present for you in his crate...cats get stressed on car trips and sometimes poo happens. You should probably bring an extra towel or two in case you need to clean up!

A thought: You could take him/her for a few short trips in his/her crate in the car, before you actually leave. Give him/her a bit of time to get used to it.
You could use a small blanket to cover the crate; he/she might feel safer.
Belt the crate in securely in your car. Keep a window down. Take water and food.
Keep a tight hold of the leash when you take her out. My cat got out of my hands at the vet, and it was a mission catching her and finding her again; in my car engine of all places.

She loves to hang out in my dogs crate when he's not in it, so she's already used to being in one and she has gone on a few car rides in a crate and doesn't seem to mind it that much, just not one for 14 hours. Do they make little litter boxes that can go in a crate? She's an indoor cat so I don't know how she'll respond to going outside, when we got her we tried to put her on a leash and she just layed on the floor and didn't move at all! Do you think going outside might be too stressful for her, since she isn't use to it?
Thanks for the help--the boyfriend owes me big for this
We travel with Bailey every year down to NC (from MO, an 18 hour trip) and she's pretty good. We have a crate, but Her Majesty prefers the door open so she can come and go as she pleases. (We do shut her in the crate whenever we stop for gas and to switch drivers - about every two hours.) We bought a deep plastic pan that fits on the floor behind the front seats and use those absorbent crystals (had to get her used to those before the trip since it's not something we use at home on a regular basis.) The high sides help contain any 'accidents' if Bailey misjudges the size of the box.
Unless your cat is used to going outside in unfamiliar territory (we did have one cat, Brando, who was quite happy walking along with the dogs, no matter where we were), I'd leave her in the car. Less stress for her and you don't have to worry about losing her if she slips out of the leash.
Whenever you take a break at a rest stop or gas station, let her out and offer her some water (I doubt she'll eat, although you can try.)
Once you get to her new home, it would probably be less stressful for her if you put her in a room by herself to acclimate (maybe with some of your boyfriend's clothes) for a little while. She'll let you know when she's feeling brave enough to explore the rest of the house...
This is Bailey. (The Queen Is Not Amused...)
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but Im not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. -Robert McCloskey
Drug the Cat for 14 hours
Just kidding, but I do not envy you at all... I cant stand being in the car with my cats for the half hour car ride to the vet... they scream the entire way. I would bring a regular litter box and stop every few hours... go in somewhere and get something to eat... leave the litter box on the seat and hope the cat uses it while you are gone (obviously you need to leave the cat out of the crate at this point). Cats really can hold it a long time. Good Luck and the boyfriend certainly owes you.
The crate sounds like a good idea. For the litter box, try to find a container that you could put down that's not too big. You might try holding it in place with a few pieces of velcro on the bottom so it doesn't move around.
Bring some earplugs. We moved a cat 800 miles and she screamed the entire way. It got so loud that my father was threatening to put her in the bed of the truck. (Of course he would never actually do that but darn! she was loud). She was inside a crate but thankfully did not leave us any gifts. Our new cat on the other hand, pees in his crate in the 10 minuets it takes to get to the vet.

At the Johns Hopkins Children's Center, "Share the Spirit" with a Harriet Lane Clinic family this holiday season. You'll receive the children's toy wish lists and information on family members' ages and clothing sizes. Contact Allison Pina, pediatric social work, at 410-502-0057 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Adopt-a-Family Project provides holiday cheer to more than 40 families from the pediatric and adolescent HIV clinic at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center.

Does anyone know of a farmer's market in or near the Lehigh Valley where I could find paw paw or american persimmon fruit? Alternatively, I'd settle for the location of said trees growing wild. I had no luck at the Allentown market last year.

WATCH: Farage Defends "Love Britain" Slogan
UKIP Lift Old BNP Slogan for Spring Conference
"It's our slogan now, not changing it. To hell with the BNP."

Is Chilcot still alive?
Who would have thought Guido Fawkes and the BBC would join forces to attack a man who loves Britain?
Will they pick on Churchill next?
G'uido's piece has got the UKIP message out on national television with a perfect sell by F'arage.
Given what is in the news cycle at present, that is impressive.
Even though it was likely unintentional, G'uido should be hat tipped for genius PR here.
"VOTE" + "LOVE BRITAIN" is 75% the same.
"UKIP" is 25% different.
Not the same slogan, then.
Never mind the semantics ,we want out of the EUSSR !
Good for Nigel!
Instead of squirming, meet the bastards head on.
Well done that bloke!
Gets my vote.
Good man, a very impressive interview.
Back of the net !
Scansion's better, you have to give them that.
Vote UKIP
Another low blow from Guido me thinks, luckily Nigel can turn it around for UKIPs benefit. Don't forget vote UKIP!
How about Guido Fawkes? it's been done before, he was executed, how's your neck?
Vote UKIP
Come all the electorate throughout the UK
It's time to ignore what the LIBLABCON say
Lets face it these parties have all had their day
Our politics need rearranging
So go out and vote UKIP lets sweep them away
For the times they are a changing
Not one of them listens to our point of view
They'd sooner give our cash to the EU
So lets kick them out and try something new
We can't afford this lot remaining
Political rethink is long overdue
For the times they are a changing
They lied about Lisbon and promised a vote
There all Europhiles and in the same boat
Their treachery just bring a lump to my throat
As each other they just keep blaming
So send them a message and let them take note
That the times they are a changing
We will no longer tolerate lies being told
Tax breaks for the rich but more tax for the old
Ruled from the EU and our birthrights sold
They ignore us when we are complaining
If we all vote UKIP their out in the cold
For the times they all need changing
Just what is UKIP policy on the top rate tax and tax avoidance? And what are they going to do about massive banker bonuses?
Precise and straight to the point reply.
You'd never hear this from LibLabCon
Ah, when I think back to that cosy chat I had with our BBC. We vigorously edited it and thought that would be enough to get me and my wife off the hook with just a bit of faux agressive quetioning left in to fool the surfs, but now that commoner Hewitt has gone and thrown a spanner in the works.
Dromey put down your lap top and get me that ittle man Katz on the telephone.
It's very true, straight talking Farage will appeal to a lot of voters with a simple, logical message like that.
It makes Cast Iron and Calamity Clegg look like bumbling fools, lying and conning the public with their weasly words and general hatred of anything and everything that is British.
Clegg must be dreading the debate he asked for, and Cast Iron must be cursing him for suggesting it.
Clearly, with his simple, logical message and friendly image, Farage has great appeal down the pub – but will that translate during an election?
Yes indeed,really great stuff from Nigel.
Reposted from an earlier thread.
The B*N*P also used the Union Jack. Is everybody who flies it going to be condemned too?
Is political correctness going to prevent any mention of a national identity in the same way as the BBC prohibited any discussion about immigration as being racist?
The EU would very much like to make any mention of a national identity completely illegal and socially unacceptable.
Good work by the EU trolls; you are getting more subtle.
Doubtless the same condemnation would apply if people were stamping their feet and saluting the European Union?
Or perhaps not.
That edition of political correctness is burning on the pyre with L'abour and H'arman's political career.
Prepare big exhale of relief. ;-)
Gordon Brown used the phrase British jobs for Britidh workers. I wonder where he got that slogan from?
So is this racist now ?
Wherever he got it from, you can be 100% certain that he stole it.
Why can't we have Owen Jones deported to North Korea?
Feck off
Even they are not that stupid!
Send him as a goodwill envoy. As soon as he arrives, send a message to the North Korean government that Jones is a capitalist agitator who hates the idea of being fed alive to pigs.
My pigs are not that hungry
Homosexuals are not welcome in the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea
Smear Campaign
An "unfair or untrue political attack. It employs the logical technique of conflation in which separate concepts, identities, or reputations of individual or groups are combined into one word or concept, losing individual meanings and differences as in swiftboating… Smear campaigns are often based on information gleaned from opposition research conducted by paid political consultants… Smear campaigning is related to propaganda, media bias, yellow journalism, and other falsehood-related terms such as the use of libel and pejorative terms. In extreme cases, smear campaigns may lead to widespread persecution of a group, such as in the case of the Dolchstoßlegende" before WWII." Wikipedia
memo to news staff:
Get a f*cking better interviewer who doesn't sound transparently leftie, and then compounds it by namedropping Google AND Guido
Why did Nigel Farage not get a mention on the mainstream media with Merkel's visit I wonder.
Her visit nicely took attention away from Blair on Brooks and Blair with the Irish Republican amnesty betrayal, like we've somehow forgotten about that one
Just watched 2 lefties being interviewed on Sky – Peter Kellner (aka Mr Baroness Ashtray and YOU GOV poll boss) and J.Rentoul from the Indie. Both thought that UKIP was really only a flash in the pan and would disappear up their own fundaments in the next 6 months or so.
Wonder why there was no UKIP bod on to also join in the discussion? Sky is getting worse by the day.
New LibLabCon slogan:
"Fuck Britain. Vote LibLabCon"
Hate Britian – Love Marxists ?
Vote LibLabCon.
When the word 'Love' is taboo, political correctness has brought us to a very sad place indeed.
I love Nigal
F**k em All
Yes, he does.
Especially if they've got fat arses.
Mastur Bation Wanking.
Mastur Bation Wanking.
That's *my* slogan now. To Hell with David.
Master Bater-in-Waiting is your official title Ed
I'll bring net immigration down!
Its a done deal!
New UKIP slogan.
Love Europe
Fuck EU!
It suggests that the other parties hate Britain , which by their actions seems true.
Well done Nigel. Don't take any bigoted nonsense from the Establishment state media.
Love Britain. Vote UKIP ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Good response by Farage there.
If you want to tell Alliance Boots, owners of Boots, what you think of them paying nonce enabler Patricia Hewitt to be one of their consultants, contact them here: email@example.com
If enough people contact them, they'll have to drop the bitch. The last thing Boots, a family brand, wants is an association with someone who was a friend of p*edos.
The CEO is Ornella Barra
Might as well go straight to the top eh?
Good idea, thanks.
Get some people with some placards to demo outside Boots headquarters and get the SKY/ITV reporters down there :-)
Hewitt's other consultancy positions:
Chair of the UK India Business Council (UKIBC)
On the board of BT Group plc
Non-executive director of Euro Tunnel Group
Member of the Barclays Asia Pacific Advisory Committee
A £55,000 role with Cinven
An email campaign to all of them would be good. Some of them won't give a fuck, but the likes of Boots have a brand and image to protect.
CEO of BT is Gavin Patterson.
Tell him what you think at email@example.com.
Thanks, old chap. You're being exceedingly helpful. Let's fuck the bitch's earnings up! :-D
I thought she was of the I hate the capitalist system persusion?
Is she a f'cuning great hypocrit or what.
Someone could custard PIE her as well :-)
More placard demos outside these companies headquarters as well :-)
The Executive chairman is Stefano Pessina.
Glad to be of help.
We can't get the bitch in prison but we can certainly do something about the blood money the former death secretary and nonce enabler is making.
Both good old fashioned English names!
It was bought (I think) by venture capitalists.
Andy Hornby (Ex HBoS) was CEO for a while.
Wasn't he the bloke that had fuck all qualifications to run a bank and knew fuck all about running a bank?
Are we beginning to see a pattern here?
That's the chap.
Although it was Peter Cummings who actually took on all the shit loans that destroyed the bank.
All departments 'siloed' you see. Everybody running their own little fiefdom and Cummings posting monster profits and keeping any curious onlookers well away from 'his people'.
Boots emailed and said she hasn't worked for them for 4 years.
F***K the MsM Nigel is right and we will fly the union jack as well.
also F***K the BNP
What a stupid slogan, who's fault is it? Sue's I think.
British jobs for British workers!
British jobs for British workers.
British nobs for British wankers :-)
British bonuses for British Bankers.
British bennies for the worlds shirkers ;)
British kids for British fiddlers!
British kids for Foreign Fiddlers !
"One Asian" !?!
Can anyone recommend a few good 5***** hotels, I'm running out of places to stay on my expenses?
Have you tried any of the classy YMCAs in Cape Cod? Some of them might have a 1 hour massage with a tanned Latino as part of the fee. It's ok, Gordie, you don't need to pretend any more. We know your beard spends most of her time on her own or in Canterbury.
Yes, the Treblinka Hotel.
British jobs for British workers – a slogan used by the Bee NP and lifted by Labour but you won't hear the BBC saying as much
What a disgusting xenophobic, nationalistic, jingoistic and racist slogan!
Yeah, great isn't it.
Terrible bigot…. Oh Fuck! the Mike's on (buries head in hands). It's that bitch Sue's fault…… feckin priceless.
I am a Hobbit. I will be voting for Lobelia Sackville-Baggins (nee Bracegirdle) because although the grasping old bat is inclined to fiddle her expenses and is a tactless old battleaxe, she had the guts to oppose Saruman's thugs and stood up for the Shire, whereupon she was made a political prisoner in the Lockholes of Michael Delving.
To no.105. Your title is fabulous.Fell around laughing. My thanks as it is the first time I have laughed today.
Any political party who wants to hand British sovereignty and rule over to a foreign power by any logic must hate Britain.
The only conclusion must be that the LibLabCon hate Britain. In other words they are traitors.
They are traitors and they know they will get away with it while they fill their bank accounts and pensions with our taxes, the major problem in stopping them is the brain dead public who's one brain cell between the LibLabCon public is the problem also the other problem that's stops change is tribal, red or blue or yellow rosettes stuck on ciggy ends, the tribes will vote for their colour on the ciggy end until people realise it's their money they are wasting on this charade nothing will change.
They are hateful quislings…
Why do you lot worry so about the EU? For the political "Elite", having nearly cut a deal with with Hitler in 1940, finally sold Britain out Uncle Sam.
Gotta love him.
I watched the video clip.
The ITV interviewer very clearly comes across as one of the EU's useful idiots.
That's a BBC interview.
My apologies.
I should have recognised the hallmark BBC bias immediately.
BBC, Sky News and now ITN – can not be that many TV outlets left to attack?
Nigel should have mentioned that UKIP have done more to marginalise the B.N.P than the other three parties put together
Farage did well with his speech today, after listening to the end of the politics show with those two MEPs, democracy in the EU doesn't exist, it a private club for the rich and the greasy pole climbers but not for the people who pay for it.
No doubt Nigel Farage is champing at the bit to give all of that up.
'One People, One Nation, One Leader'
Alex Salmond wants the same for Scotland Ed, so why are you against Scottish independence?
It's King Salmond to you…tho' I'll accept "President For Life"
Yes, Len McLusky
Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer
Violence swept through the streets of Venezuelan capital Caracas yesterday as anti-government protesters rioted over President Nicolas Maduro's attempt to buy them off with a six-day long-weekend.
Hundreds of students rallied in the city's eastern suburbs demanding an end to the government crackdown on protests and the release of those jailed in recent weeks.
And that silly little boy Owen Jones thinks we don't understand.
Rise up brave Venezuelans and kick out your murderous Communist overlords.
They can murder our students our beauty queens and our boxers but they'll never take our freedom.
[Pause to reload]
Didn't he try to bribe the populace with a shit load of Samsung tablets as well?
But you must understand the true nature of US trained and backed Color Revolts. So why do you maintain the fiction that the violent thugs have something to do with Power Power?
P.S: Bet you did not cheer-on the 'free-loving' protesters when they tried to burn down London a few year back?
Something like "More Power To You" would have been better.
Patricia Hewitt's husband is a judge. Might be worth checking if he's ever presided over any child abuse cases and what sort of sentence, if any, he handed down.
Yeah, and how many times has he 'handed down', we should be told.
Indeed. And if he is the one who will supervise the rest of the DLT trial, he should be asked by the defence counsel: M'lud, before you were a judge, you were a barrister; before that you were a legal trainee; and before that you were a student. Now, can you honestly put your hand on your heart and swear that as a youthful teenager you never ever not once accidentally on purpose happened to brush against some young lady's developing breast?
If he says No,not once, he's an outright liar; if he says yes he should dismiss the case without further ado.
A Union Jack! Just how oppressive can these people be!? We're all World Citizens – feel the love!! (only they can keep their claws of my personal stash of cash, that's for the Workers and Oiks to pay for)
Is Owen Jones actually gay or is it a ruse to attract women?
Vote UKIP
Every time I hear Farage I become more likely to vote for him in May.
I to that decision some time ago when it became clear that Cameron was not going to deliver on his manifesto pledges.
It was a very easy decision to make.
I to that decision = I took that decision (for the pedants society)
Must point out that pedants should have an apostrophe;( i.e. pedant's.)
(Sorry; couldn't resist it).
I to that decision some time ago… is perfect English…Shakespearean. No need to apologise. Love Britain :-)
Watch it sunny Jim
Boo!, a reply that neatly avoids any chance of a Fawks' pas with an apostrophe.
When you here Cast Iron or Milliband tying themselves in knots, lyng, and contradicting themselves as they try and pretend to be on the side of British people and British industry and British jobs it is a complete disgrace.
And then in the same breath Cast Iron and Milliband say anybody from Europe can come here and claim benefits because of the EU, and anybody in the world can claim asylum and get benefits thanks to the EU and ECHR, and that 70% of our laws are made by the EU and we can't dredge rivers becuase of EU rules.
When we hear that, it brings into shart perspective what dulicitous b@stards the LibLabCon really are.
Compare that with striaght talking Farage and UKIP who present a clear message that it is good to be proud of your country and proud to be British. They clearly love the UK and want the best for its peoples and are not afraid to say it.
When you compare UKIP to the other LibLabCon with their lies and mixed messages, it really isn't a difficult choice, in fact it's very easy.
same here
Oh a straight talking politician – if only we had more of them!!
A lot of them are straight talking – trouble is they are mostly lying through their teeth as they do so. There is a difference between straight talking and honest talking.

Room for 4 Roma in there, 8 if you fit bunks.
I see you have also supplied fresh meat for lunch. Well done.
My how the Lion of Britain has shrunk and prefers a quick lie down nowadays.
It's upside down you oiks!
Pictured with her gun: Woman armed police officer, 34, sues Scotland Yard over claims she suffered racial and sexual discrimination
Did she ever stop to think it was the daft tattoos on her hands that held her back?
Pleased I am not the only one who thinks tattoos are bloody awful.
And piercings. Why people go out of their way to make themselves ugly is a mystery to me.
When I were a lad the only time you saw piercings through noses, cheeks and bellies and black inked tats was on BBC documentaries when they found some lost tribe in bongo bongo land.
Interestingly all those BBC documentaries have been disappeared. Which is odd as there were hundreds of them
UKIP's conference being held in Torquay is significant.
Torquay is the home of Fawlty Towers and who is more of a stereotype UKIP man than Basil Fawlty?
Basil operated a small family business; he didn't make a lot of money, but he worked very hard to earn a living despite the oppressive restrictions and red tape of the state personified by the Health Inspector and he had to put up with useless Irish builders and thick and lazy immigrant staff.
He was very conscious of how the country has gone to the dogs, yearning for a time when people knew their place and was desperate to keep up appearances despite the rising tide of leftie trash; he was also very clear on his attitudes to European integration.
I always thought that Sybil was a Tory, but now one sees through her hectoring, screeching tone and need to always be in control and her interference in every aspect of Basil's life, that she is an amalgam of Harman, Jowett, Hewitt and a dozen other political harridans, that she would have been New Labour.
The Major would probably have been a former Tory, now also UKIP.
The dead man killed by Kippers was most certainly a Lib-Dem.
I'd had thought you liblabconners had more pressing issues to sort out – like your noncing scandals.
No, I am 100% behind UKIP, as I believe that Basil would have been. He had absolutely the right idea about Europeans and other nationalities, the lower orders, the toffee-nosed upper classes, the handicapped, the scroungers and especially about sexual deviants. I shall not only be voting UKIP, I shall be campaigning for them.
The use of "handicapped" in your post above suggests you're a paid TROLL.
Do you get paid by the post or by the day ?
You are obviously ignorant of the FT characters–viz. The Deaf Lady.
Lefties use the word disabled. Personally, I prefer the traditional words, like spastic–like yourself; an onanite incapable of posting under a consistent moniker.
Ah know nuuuthink…
For Cameron's lot:
"Love Eton. Vote Conservative".
For Clegg's lot:
"Love Oaten. Vote Liberal".
For Miliband's lot:
"Love troughing. Vote Labour".
> "Love troughing. Vote Labour".
"Love paying for troughing. Vote Labour".
"Love troughing. Join Labour".
What was the Labour slogan that turned out to have been recycled from the East german communist party?
"Love America Vote Democrat" Obama's slogan
I for one welcome our new EU Overlords
I for one welcome our new EU Insect Overlords.
Immigration disaster figures for LibLabCon, so let's slander UKIP. Who'd have thought bloggers would fall for the political elite's spin?
ahh, but Guido is now a bought and paid for establishment stooge!
Dear Auntie,
Thanks for the massive publicity you've given to our Love Britain Vote UKIP slogan. You've allowed us to take love for Britain away from the EU obsessives troughing in Westminster and Salford.
Please make sure you let millions of Britons that love their country, know who to trust and who to vote for, by spreading the message across all BBC channels all day and everyday until May 22nd.
Would somebody from the BBC like to leak to Guido all those EU instructions regarding their reporting of UKIP and the EU elections?
You know what I mean; that "Editorial Guidance", issued in return for all those EU grants and loans.
Farage seems angrier and angrier each time he's on telly and is asked any pointed question that doesn't agree with him. Could do with some media training imo
I'd be getting irritated if an entire media system which prides itself on being even handed and thorough was constantly trying to stitch me up because my party is a threat to their precious fucking metropolitan lefty sensibilities.
If UKIP ever gain significant power I will relish watching them destroy the BBC, hopefully first by removing the idiotic way TV tax evasion is dealt with as a criminal offense.
a million
The membership have politely asked Nigel to act like we would if pompous and bigoted BBC parasites ask prejudiced questions.
Gordon Brown laughingly and without any sense of irony came out with
" British jobs for British workers"
Ages after the b*p had been using it. No interrogation off lefty TV interviewers about that as I recall.
Should Scotland become independent?
Under the watch of our Conservative PM?
Will he forever be known as "The Wrecker"?
Never to be listened to ever again?
Alec Salmond embraces isolation,
He wants HIS country to be free,
Yet will eagerly join the European Union,
Lose Sovereignty for ever -is THAT what is to be?
To break away from the spoken English?
And freedom at last be won?
To join up to the European Union,
The Devils work at last be done.
Twice before in loving memory,
Just one hundred years ago,
To conquer and destroy our sovereignty
Recorded in history, be it ever so.
Yet come the General Election
In the year of 2015,
Elect UKIP or others that want freedom,
And your simple "cross" may set us free.
Leave not one untouched Ballot Form,
For others may then to use,
Use your cross well, placed by those you know,
Or your Country you may lose.
Fruitcakes, racist, barmy…whatever. All the other parties have their fair share of nutjobs too. That's not what UKIP is all about. At least this guy has a "call a spade a spade" and screw the PC-brigade attitude, which I like. Farage's way of sticking to the script, and slapping away the ignorant headline-chasing w*nker journalist who thinks he's going to somehow trap Farage into saying something he'll regret is such a massive contrast to that smarmy Clegg wimp who'll say anything to please voters, and then have to backtrack later when he realises how silly he is….like that whole episode of declaring the LibDem guy guilty and forcing him to apologise, and almost getting sued to oblivion for it. Farage over Clegg any day.
Well done to both Guido and Nigel!
To hell with the Brains lookalike (Robinson) and his employers. Come the revolution, no more BBC!
"Love Britain Vote Ukip"
Nice one Nigel, great response.
Vote Uip
Nigel does it every time. We love Farage and the way he talks about our business.
Staines – get out from under this MSM BNP bus. Shame on you for following the Sun into this story. We know they pay you for your column, but keep your knickers clean.
Nigel makes being a normal person something that even normal people can believe in.
We are so fed up with the fake politics about people who aren't us. We do politics, too. Watch it Staines – this is as close to the edge of disgrace as you have ever travelled.
We are the people and we've had enough of politicians telling us how we should think, vote and feel. Go Nigel, Go.
Love Britain, vote UKIP
Rape children, vote LIBLABCON
"To hell with the BNP."
And may their god and/or their dog go with them? For Ukip to join the political mainstream, its vital that they also possess an ideology they cannot explain. Not that difficult. Given that each party allegedly has access to the same information, yet still manages to come up with a different interpretation.
Love Kiddie fiddlers – Vote Labour
Thank Guido for the Extra coverage, I missed the original, you have to say that Farage hits all the right buttons, (sorry for the pun) for right leaning voters!!!

Description:Villa La Borghese has something new to discover in every season: from the splendid colors of the autumn foliage to gazing at the stars in the clear winter sky, from rides on horseback to relaxing in pools of water at different temperatures, all amidst breathtaking scenery.. nAn exclusive resort in Tuscany in an unspoiled setting, offering state-of-the-art amenities and technologies. nGASTRONOMICAL EXPERIENCE nVilla La Borghese marries the local gastronomic tradition with the natural oasis that surrounds it. Dishes typical of Tuscan cuisine with products from the large organic vegetable garden and livestock raised on the estate, such as pigs, cows, sheep, goats and trout. nThe cooks revive forgotten flavors that the guests can enjoy in the wood-scented dining room with its imposing stone fireplace, or on the terrace in fine weather. The menu offers an unexpected exploration of the senses. The vegetables cultivated in the garden and the fruit are carefully selected, making the most of biodiversity. nAt Villa La Borghese the flavors satisfy the body just as the places set aside for refreshment buoy the spirit. The dining room conjures up stories of the past, from the paintings of ancestors on the walls to the large chandeliers of hand-wrought iron, while the diners are kept warm in cold weather by a grand fireplace built of travertine. In the evening everyone gathers around the long wooden table that can seat up to thirty people. The hosts have taken care over every last detail in order to create a warm and refined atmosphere: ceramic plates, crystal glasses, candles. nDuring the spring and summer the residence opens up its terraces: meals are served in the Domus, the Roman-style gazebo set in a scented garden with a view of the woods, or in the Rotonda above the Vegetable Garden, under a canopy next to the barbecue. nTHE BEDROOMS nVilla La Borghese is a small hamlet of three adjoining buildings, in which the bedrooms are located, many of them opening off cozy lounges: here guests can sit on comfortable sofas by the fireplace to read, listen to music or sip a good Tuscan wine. nFourteen of the villa 's rooms are large (15-20 sq m), with spacious bathrooms en suite, filled with light and furnished with period pieces. Every detail is a homage to nature lovers: the windows open onto the park, the swimming pools and the woods, stretching as far as the eye can see. nRefined in their simplicity, all the spaces combine tradition and luxury: flat-screen TV with satellite links, fast internet connection, linen of local manufacture, toiletries made from olive oil, private bathroom with shower and/or Jacuzzi, hairdryer, underfloor heating supplied with hot water from a biomass-fueled boiler and solar photovoltaic and thermal panels, as well as a cellar-effect cooling system, again located under the floor. n nAdditional amenities include: chef included, cleaner included, cinema, heliport, toiletries, nanny (extra charge), chef (extra charge), linen included, treatment to prevent legionnaires ' disease, towels included, shuttle service, transfers included, astronomical observatory, olive pool toiletries, fine bedlinen, organic vegetable garden with covered outdoor kitchen, hairdryer, underfloor heating in bathrooms.

Description:14 Bedrooms, 15 Bathrooms, 28 Sleeps. Villa Ferraia is located twenty-six kilometers south of Siena and sits on a secluded mountaintop. The name Ferraia originates from ferro, or iron, which was mined here in medieval times. Tastefully simple, yet luxuriant, each en-suite bedroom boasts a flat screen television, fine linens and towels, Florentine soaps and shampoos, and private baths, all to ensure a relaxing and comfortable stay. The television screens can also be utilized as computers and the villa has HADSL connection. Wireless connection inside the entire villa. A telephone and a fax machine are available in the reception area for emergency use only. The attractively furnished dining room seats 27 guests. Outside the Tuscan conservatory, the domus provide a covered space where guests can eat or gather and enjoy the beauty of the gardens and surrounding forests while enjoying a leisurely aperitif before dinner. A state-of-the-art kitchen with wood-burning oven, 2 acres of organic vegetable and herb gardens, and an 1800 square foot greenhouse greatly enhance the joy of Italian cooking. Adjoining the vegetable gardens is an outdoor kitchen and dining area where guests can join the chef in cooking the fresh vegetables in true Tuscan style. The pleasure gained from preparing a meal from the freshly picked vegetables can be enjoyed with a fine Tuscan wine (Cost of chef separate). To visit the organic garden and use the vegetables of the garden is necessary to ask at our chef. A separate medieval stone building houses the library, a state of the art cinema and lounges to relax and enjoy a movie or a book. There is an extensive terrace around the cinema furnished with luxury Italian lounges that provide a wonderful panorama of the lush green forest that radiate peace. There are also several secluded sitting areas throughout the villa which can be used for moments of solitude. Star gazers will delight in the observatory complete with a high-tech telescope far from the light pollution of modern civilization. A Meade LX200R 14inch research telescope has been installed complete with a seated viewing area and a 60 inch flat screen monitor. The local astronomy society is at our guests ' disposal to explain the wonders of the skies above. A large infinity pool overlooks the beautiful valley below. The adjacent change rooms and sauna are at the guests ' disposal.. The external part of the complex is complete and includes three tubs heated to different temperatures, a frigidarium (cold), the tepidarium (tepid) and a caldarium (hot) nestled on the edge of the forest with the perfume of the nearby lemon and orange trees wafting past. Guests can start their circuit of the bath complex with a sauna in the fine Finish sauna, progress to the solar heated swimming pool and then to the roman styled tubs. Villa Ferraia exudes such tranquility and natural beauty that it will be very tempting to just stay there, enjoying the fresh air, walking through the forest, toiling in the organic vegetable garden with the gardener, assisting the chef to prepare dinner or simply lazing around and listening to the sounds nature.

Scarcely a week goes by without learning that it's International Day of the Something. With charities and PR companies scooping up the entire calendar, we picked out some of the more interesting, important or downright silly dates of awareness for the year ahead.
20th-26th February – National Chip Week
What is it? Pretty self- explanatory really - National Chip Week celebrates the nation's love affair with the fried potato slice.
Did you know? The Oxford English Dictionary cites A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens as the first recorded use of the word "chip" as a foodstuff.
What to do? visit the Potato Council's website for recipes and make your own. Or use it as an excuse for a trip to the chippy.
1st March – World Book Day
What is it? A registered charity, World Book Day aims to get people, especially children, excited about books and reading.
Did you know? Leaf through a few books on any bookshelf and you will notice that many have blank pages at the end. Why? Books are printed in batches of pages called signatures, which are then folded and stitched together. Intentionally blank pages are there to complete the signature.
What to do? Visit Old Trafford library on Shrewsbury Street or bring a book to swap at the exchange in the St John's Centre. Or just settle down with your favourite potboiler.
14th March – No Smoking Day
What is it? 2012 will see the 29th No Smoking Day. Recently teaming up with the British Heart Foundation, the organisers of the day want to make sure that anyone that wants to give up smoking has the chance to.
Did you know? 23% of people in the North West smoke, 27% are ex-smokers and 50% have never smoked. The region has the highest percentage of smokers in England.
What to do? If you're thinking of quitting, talk to your GP, who can give advice or refer you to the Trafford Stop Smoking Service here in Old Trafford.
14th June - World Blood Donor Day
What is it? Almost everyone knows someone who has been treated in hospital with donated blood. World Blood Donor Day celebrates the vital importance of blood donors to the lives of hospital patients across the globe and aims to encourage new donors to step forward.
Did you know? Only 4% of the population who are able to give blood do so. Low blood stocks cause a particular headache for doctors treating patients from diverse communities like the one here in Old Trafford. A good example is blood type U negative, which is unique to Black African and Caribbean people. To meet the needs of hospital patients, 7000 people from South Asian, Black African and Caribbean backgrounds need to give blood each day. Only 200 people currently do so. But the simple truth is that whatever your background, blood stocks are always low and donating is quick, easy, pretty painless and saves lives.
What to do? Save a life and give blood. Ask your GP or visit blood.co.uk to find local donation sessions. Regular donation centres are held at Old Trafford football ground, Plymouth Grove and St Matthew's Hall in Stretford.,
21st November – World Hello Day
What is it? World Hello Day began in 1973 as a response to the Yom Kippur War, a conflict between Egypt and Israel in the Fall of 1973. Since then, World Hello Day has been observed by people in 180 countries., and aims to get people talking by encouraging them to say "hello" to ten people.
Did you know? Alexander Graham Bell, who was awarded the patent for the first telephone, is said to have favoured the use of the word "Ahoy" as a telephone greeting. Evidently it failed to catch on (except with Mr Burns from The Simpsons).
What to do? Don't be shy! Greet ten random people with a smile and a friendly hello. Or why not get in touch with a friend or loved one by phone, text, email or social networking site.
1st December – World AIDS Day
What is it? Arguably the most recognised health day on the calendar, World AIDS Day's aim is to raise awareness, remember those who have died from the virus and recognise the progress made in combating AIDS.
Did you know? More than 90,000 people are living with HIV in the UK. It is estimated that around a quarter of those people do not know that they have the virus.
What to do? Buy a red ribbon. If you are under 25, contact the sexual health clinic at the Old Trafford Youth Centre on St Hilda's Road for advice about contraception and testing. If you are older and have concerns, speak to your GP. If you are a parent, talk to your children about the importance of safe sex. Don't wait until December, do it now. Ignorance, laziness and squeamishness are not excuses.

2012: Year of the…Sock?!
2012 is over! 2013 is here!
Did you make any goals?
I have a handful, one of which is to knit 12 pairs of socks in 2013!
I learned how to knit socks last December with the encouragement of Kayanna, Amy & Angela. Most people think I learned how to knit last winter but nope! I learned how to knit in 2002 when I first started blogging but I never did more than ugly scarves for my moms cat Simon and lumpy hats for myself. Plus, the internet knitting world was incredibly inspiring but also intimidating/not super friendly to newbs.
Fast forward to me spending each winter knitting a handful of hats, scarves..lots of little things to keep myself warm.
One thing I always wanted to try. SOCKS. Now I'd tried socks three times before, epic fail. The most recent time was the first summer Chop & I started dating he took me to Reno for the first time in my life. I won $75 on a penny machine at one of the casinos. I decided I was going to Truckee (where Jimmy Beans Wool used to have a shop!) and buying sock needles and yarn and I was going to knit a pair of Jaywalker Socks that summer. I got to the heel flap and gave up. I'm pretty sure those teeny tiny bamboo DPNs and tangled yarn are in a box still. I remember it was Lorna's Laces and it was sort of hot pink & gray?!
So when I decided I wanted to do socks again, I hemmed and hawed for a few weeks. I researched. I bought yarn. I visited the library. I polled twitter. I stalked ravelry. I talked myself out of it a million times. My knitting confidence wasn't super high. Then those girls were basically like, BUCK UP! YOU CAN DO THIS YOU WEENIE!. So I made a Monkey Sock. Exactly as the pattern was written. And it fit! It was neat! But it wasn't exactly fun & I felt like I was missing something other than a second sock. So I decided I wanted to really, really, FOR REAL learn how to knit socks. So I took a Saturday afternoon class at Heartstrings in Chico. Each Saturday they have a drop in time where you can ask a teacher questions for $10. The gal next to me was using Wendy Johnson's Socks from the Toe Up book and knitting two Valentine's Day red heart socks for her daughter. She had two circular needles with one sock on each one and kept them in two separate zip lock bags. I took one look at her and said "I WANT TO LEARN THAT!"
One skein of Tosh Sock divided into two balls and I was ON MY WAY! I learned so, so, so, much! Magic loop, Judy's Magic Cast On, etc! I was EXCITED! I made a pair of socks that FIT! I went back and finished that pair of Monkey's, this time toe up and it was GREAT!
Since then, I haven't been able to STOP knitting socks. I knit in the car. I knit while watching t.v. I knit with friends. I'm by no means a pro but this year I knit 12 pairs of socks in the photo plus I have one pair on my needles right now, I knit a pair for my mom, I have a secret pair I can't share until the pattern is released, I frogged a pair and I was commissioned to knit a pair! So a total of 15.75 pairs. The .75 is because I only have an inch of ribbing on my current socks left to do ;)
I am *not* a hip knitter, I don't knit the most complicated patterns, I don't belong to any clubs & I'm not super active on ravelry. I knit for warmth, to keep my hands busy and to support my yarn dyeing friends. I found a sock "recipe" that works for me and I love that. I might knit nothing but plain socks all year and smile the entire time. The main thing for me is I love wearing hand knit socks. I see that stack of socks I made and I'm filled with a crazy amount of pride. They have mistakes, they aren't even remotely perfect but they are MINE! High 5! Things like quilting & cooking I am obsessive about and make sure everything is as perfect as I can possibly make it but knitting? Not so much. I just want them to fit, be warm and cute. I wear these socks daily in the winter and I like showing my friends the socks I'm wearing that day. I love buying sock yarn and have a basket full of the prettiest yarns ever. It's sort of like my therapy. Bad day? Knit socks. Tons of housework? Clean for an hour, knit for an hour. ;)
Here are my favorite sock-y things in list form:
Favorite Sock Knitting Pattern. I take this pattern and pop cuff down designs into it. It just fits my foot the nicest!
Favorite Sock Knitting Books. I had both books spiral bound together at Staples for $4.95. Now all my patterns are in one place. I can't say enough about these books, they help me so much! I think Wendy is amazing. They are just written in a way that clicks for me!
Favorite Sock Needles: Budget Friendly & Indulgence. I like point-y needles in either a size 0, 1 or 1.5 with a 32 inch cord. I can't use DPNs successfully. I like the 32 inch cord for both one at a time and two at a time.
Favorite Sock Yarns: Cakewalk, Hedgehog Fibres, Plucky Knitter, Phydeaux Designs, Pigeonroof Studios, Madelinetosh (It drives me nuts that some yarns discharge color like crazytown, but when I contacted them about it, they were nice, so I can't complain too much!), Cephalopod Yarns!, The Woolen Rabbit
Sock yarns I'm dying to try in 2013: A Verb for Keeping Warm, Sunshine Yarns, idk what else…leave me some new folks to try!
Adorable Stitch Markers! I'd love that little heart shaped sugar cookie for Valentine's Day!
I bought myself a yarn bowl on Christmas Eve. I got it at my local yarn store and I'm not quite sure who makes them but I know they are in the Chico-ish area. I'm crazy in love with it. It's clean & simple, in my favorite speckled gray color. I know the yarn store ships things, if you wanted to be my twin you could order one over the phone. I'm pretty sure I got the large size and it held a skein of sock yarn divided in half beautifully.
I think that's it about socks! I'm hoping to finish my pheasant socks this week and share them with you. I'm crushing on these socks FIERCE and I'm pretty sure I'm going to knit all my socks this year 2 at a time, it just feels rad!
Also, don't forget, the sale on Woodland Sampler ends soon!
ps: seriously, let me know some sock yarn dyers I should try! I love new stuff! <3!

8 Very Rare (and very expensive) Video Games
If you've ever collected baseball cards, comic books, stamps, or maybe those limited edition commemorative plates, you understand the concept of the "Holy Grail" item.
It's that last, hard-to-find, incredibly rare, usually expensive piece that you have to have before you can officially say your collection is complete. If you're a collector of vintage home video game cartridges (or "carts"), sometimes that can mean paying a pretty penny for the pièce de résistance.

Useful Tips On Data Security For Business Owners
Invention of computers has revolutionized communication and reduced the world to a global village. This has changed the way people do business and handle information. However, with the globe connected to the internet, it has encouraged the growth of cyber crimes, which have seen many lose colossal amounts of money. For this reason, data security has become one of the most emphasized subjects for businesses today.
Companies thrive in secrets. What you should ask yourself is, how much you stand to lose if that which you know, gets in the wrong hands. This applies to all business records stored in desktops and servers. You should grade the information in hierarchy of sensitivity and risks involved in case of loss. This can be the guide on how the information is handled in your organization.
It is useful to educate workers in the need to handle company information securely, since these stand higher chances of misusing it. In case of any breaches, strict measures should be taken on the culprits. On the same, new employees must be trained before they are assigned any official duty.

Scroll through other Bury St Edmunds closed premises
A former Commercial & Family Hotel and posting house, the current building dates from 1833, when it was rebuilt and changed its name from the Greyhound to the Suffolk Hotel. The original Greyhound building dated back to at least the 16th century. According to Alfred Hedges' book, "Inns and Inn Signs of Norfolk and Suffolk",
It is sometimes claimed that the nearby abbey owned the house as early as 1295 and although the precise date may be open to dispute, there is no gainsaying the fact that it was owned by the monks, for at the Dissolution in 1539 they surrendered the property to the Crown. It was subsequently leased at a yearly rental of £5 6s 8d to Thomas Brown, who combined his trade of mercer to that of innkeeper.
The larger coaching entrance was blocked up before 1880s (see early pictures). The horse drawn coaches on the right then took the hotel guests to and from the railway station.
In 1912 it is also described as having a motor garage & pits on the premises.
The building is now used as retail premises.
A report in the Ipswich Journal** on January 20th 1750 recounts:
Lost on Thursday the 11th day of January instant from the parish of Alpheton near Long Melford, Suffolk-one dark colour'd roan filly between 8 and 9 years old-about 15 hands high-long mane-short tail-spavin on off leg behind-blind in off eye-had on when left a bridle and saddle with a green saddle cloth. Whoever gives notice of the above mare to Mr Bezar Blundel at the Greyhound Inn in the Butter Market, Bury or to Thomas Paulston at the Kings Head, Lavenham or to Mr Joseph Pawsey of Alpheton shall be well rewarded for their trouble. By me Joseph Pawsey.
Suffolk Shades was located to rear of premises for some time in more recent times.
Sadly one person now said to haunt the building is a woman, in life a doctor, who committed suicide here in 1981 and still has a lasting prescence in room number 63!
