A septic system achieves sewage treatment and disposal for rural homes where centralized sewage systems may not be available. It is composed of a septic tank and a drain field. The sewage flows from the house to the septic tank where the solids are removed; the wastewater then flows to the drainfield where it is allowed to soak into the ground.
The drainfield (leachfield, disposal trench or subsurface disposal field) is an underground piping network buried below the surface of the ground. The field distributes the effluent from the septic tank over a large area allowing it to percolate through the soil.
Conventional drainfields have used perforated pipe and stone systems or concrete galleries to distribute the effluent. CULTEC's Contactor and Recharger plastic chambers may be used in place of these conventional systems for more effective installation.
Each state (and sometimes county or local municipality) has written septic regulations and guidelines which outline the square footage sizing required for a given septic leachfield. Our plastic septic chambers have been widely accepted in most parts of the United States for gravel-less septic leachfields as replacements for concrete galleries and conventional pipe and stone systems. Contact area is maximized by the fully open bottoms, perforated sidewalls, and use of CULTEC No. 410 Filter Fabric. The CULTEC No. 410 Filter Fabric works as a sponge wetting the entire surface area of the chambers and prevents soil intrusion. Units may be configured in trench or bed installations using gravity feed or pressure distribution according to acceptance by local regulations. Due to their greater contact area, CULTEC chambers are commonly allowed to reduce the overall system sizing requirements up to 50% when approved by the local authority. This sizing reduction may be a key factor when choosing septic products for a residence with tight site constraints, existing landscaping or when area is desired for other structures such as a swimming pool.

Sound is used both actively and passively as created by vocal toning, tuning forks, other vibrating instruments and verbal instruction. Some of the benefits reported by participants of SYT are deep relaxation, increased vitality, enhanced concentration and physical, mental and emotional well-being.
I grew up performing and singing. My family loved music and the arts and we went to the theater, ballet and symphony all the time in Houston Texas. My mother used to play music to get me to sleep when I was very young. She played opera by the famous Italian tenor Caruso and symphonic music by the French Impressionist composer Debussy. As a teenager I played the guitar and sang folk and pop songs with my friends. When I became an adult my interest turned back to classical music and opera as I had heard as a toddler. Eventually I found myself on stage singing opera in New York City and classical chamber music at Tanglewood in the Berkshires. I began teaching voice while I was getting a Bachelor's Degree in Music at the University of Texas. When I came to New York City I opened the Vocal
We all spend most of our time living and observing the external, the world around us. There is much to be enjoyed and experienced here of course, actually an infinite amount of things to do, see, smell, taste, touch, hear, and experience.
Inversely, when we go inward and meditate, we can experience the infinite existence that is built within us, one that vibrates at the speed of light. It has become apparent to scientists, holistic practitioners, and the mainstream medical community that there is no substitute for meditation. Let's learn why.
Jonathan S., a native of Manhattan New York City, is an experienced and seasoned professional musician, trumpeter, and teacher. Over the past 14 years he has appeared on TV and radio broadcasts with his own quintet or with many other ethnically and culturally diverse artists and groups from around the globe. Jonathan has already been recognized as one of the best young jazz trumpet players in the United States, and the world, by not only securing first place in the International Trumpet Guild Jazz Improvisation Competition, but also by competing as one of 5 world-wide finalists in the Carmine Caruso Jazz Trumpet Solo Competition. Major jazz publications have compared S's music to that of Dave Douglas, Miles Davis, John Zorn and even "the Blue Note records of the early 1960's. Jonathan is ...

Nxabega: High Style
The appeal of Nxabega (pronounced "neh-sha-bay-ga") is its intimacy. Commanding a 17,000-acre wildlife conservancy beside the Moremi Reserve, nine tents face the sunrise across a sweeping bank studded with palm trees. A huge jackalberry tree shades the camp's public areas. Inside the straw-roofed main lodge are comfortable sofas of textured ostrich leather, patchwork hide carpets on the floors, and Bushman art on the walls. My large suite feels like a tent within a tent; if I unzip its back, I can step into the bathroom. Morning coffee, I'm told, will arrive on my viewing deck at sunup in a basket.
Communal mealtimes can take many forms, from brunch in the bush to a picnic at a swimming hole to dinner presented on a West African funeral bed reinvented as a table. At all the Okavango camps, food must be flown in from Maun, the nearest town, which means that bush dining isn't always an affair to remember. But here, the menu is innovative. The flavorful dinners might be ostrich fillet with an African chutney of apricots, cinnamon, and raisins, or grilled balsamic chicken with wild-date rice, all served on big white platters. Breakfast is muesli or a steaming bowl of porridge with lashings of whiskey, cream, and vanilla brown sugar.
As I follow our guide, Fraser Gear, through the forest, he explains that Botswana's flooded Okavango Delta is one of the few places in Africa where you can see the animals from the waterways. Traditionally, each mokoro, or canoe, was carved from a single sausage tree, but environmentalists now insist that they be built of fiberglass. The boat sits very low in the water and can accommodate only two passengers and a poler, who propels it like a Venetian gondolier. We pass a tiny painted reed frog clutching a bleached shaft, barely protruding from the water and practically at my eye level. An elephant has crossed the channel in front of us, leaving a trail of flattened grass.
Halfway into our trip, we disembark, and our poler fills mugs with coffee and tea and sets out freshly baked oat cookies on a blanket. Fraser explains how the branches of the magic guarri tree can be used to clean one's teeth or to make a dye for clothes or baskets. But mostly we learn how to keep quiet and listen to the sounds of the bush. As we drive back to camp in the dark, our newfound skills come into play. A pride of lions prepares for an evening hunt in the distance, and we listen in silence to their gentle stir.
Stanley's Camp: Animal Interaction
Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of seeing a wild elephant just feet from your safari vehicle. But I'm looking forward to my night at Stanley's Camp because of the three tame pachyderms that live on the property, relocated from Kruger National Park (where their parents were culled in an effort to control the park's elephant population). We arrive in the heat of midday to a processional: the staff singing a welcome song and carrying trays of chilled lemonade. From the stilted lounge deck, I can look out across the camp's 260,000 acres. The horizon stretches beyond my peripheral vision.
Because it's located at the southern tip of Chief's Island, Stanley's Camp still has plenty of water even when the floodplains are drying up farther north. Winter—the dry season, which runs from June through August—is prime viewing time at Stanley's, when the antelope give birth and large animals congregate around scarce watering holes. It's also a bird-lover's paradise, with hundreds of species of migrants: wattled cranes, saddle-billed storks, lesser jacana.
On an evening game drive guided by Custard Samoya, we spot most of the big mammals in succession: lion, elephant, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, sassaby (a large antelope), and wildebeest. Before darkness blankets the plains, Custard veers off the road to an ebony tree hung with lanterns. There some of the staff dance and sing around a table set with white linen. Stuart Hill, a camp manager, prepares the fire for a surprise bush barbecue of ribs and maize meal. We watch the blue sky dissolve into magenta, sienna, and, finally, black.
Our tent is one of eight, all with hand-crafted beds, fine linens, and antique furniture. At 8 a.m., Custard wakes us up to meet the elephants. Their caretakers introduce us to Jabu, a 15-year-old male, who at nine feet towers over us, and two females, Tembi and Morula. The three animals graciously allow us to touch their wrinkled hides and peer at their long eyelashes. Tembi thrives on the attention, but Jabu and Morula eventually grow bored and wander off to feed. This signals us to begin our walk, led by Jabu, deeper into the bush.

Blue Badge fraud & misuse
Under the terms of the Blue Badge scheme, a Blue Badge can only be used in a vehicle when it is being used to transport the Blue Badge holder. Under no circumstances should someone other than the badge holder be claiming the Blue Badge concessions. Therefore, they must never give the badge to anyone else to use if the badge holder does no intend to travel, even if they are a friend or family member. This includes friends or relatives collecting items such as prescriptions on the badge holders behalf.
Misuse of the badge by someone who is not disabled is an offence under section 117 of the Road Traffic Act 1984. The maximum fine on conviction is £1,000. This applies in addition to whatever penalty may be imposed for any parking offence.
We are working closely with Sussex Police and NSL to tackle Blue Badge fraud & misuse in the city. If you suspect someone is abusing the Blue Badge scheme please report it to us today.
All personal information with be dealt with in the strictest of confidence.
Please, where possible, provide the Blue Badge reference number, expiry date and issuing authority. Please also supply the vehicle registration the badge is displayed in and where the vehicle is usually parked.

-- Outline Of Need: Bill Joseph, his wife Bertha, and their three children moved back to Majuro in 2001. Since their return, they had been living in his parents' house, caring for his elderly mother. Living with extended family in limited space can be hard, and Bill had been working to try and change that with hopes to have a new home for his family. How Rural Development Helped: Working with the Marshall Islands Development Bank, Bill and ten other families went through the process of building each other's homes through USDA Rural Development's Mutual Self-Help Housing Program. Through the program, participants are required to spend 40 hours per week building each other's homes. At the end of the process, they had invested their time and hard work which reduced the cost of their home. Once all the homes in the group were completed, families could then move in. Bill first learned about this opportunity from friends and family on Majuro who had previously participated in the program. He and his family members continued to work full-time jobs and still found the time to work on building the family homes, reaching the required number of hours needed for the program. The Results: In May 2013, the Joseph family moved into their new home. "It's been a very long time, but we now have a sense of freedom and are grateful for everyone's help," Bill said. In recent years, the partnership between USDA Rural Development and the Marshall Islands Development Bank has allowed 23 low-income families on Majuro to achieve the dream of homeownership through the Mutual Self Help Program.

ChromHMM is software for learning and characterizing chromatin states. ChromHMM can integrate multiple chromatin datasets such as ChIP-seq data of various histone modifications to discover de novo the major re-occuring combinatorial and spatial patterns of marks. ChromHMM is based on a multivariate Hidden Markov Model that explicitly models the presence or absence of each chromatin mark. The resulting model can then be used to systematically annotate a genome in one or more cell types. By automatically computing state enrichments for large-scale functional and annotation datasets ChromHMM facilitates the biological characterization of each state. ChromHMM also produces files with genome-wide maps of chromatin state annotations that can be directly visualized in a genome browser.

The Dynamic Regulatory Events Miner (DREM) allows one to model, analyze, and visualize transcriptional gene regulation dynamics. The method of DREM takes as input time series gene expression data and static or dynamic transcription factor-gene interaction data (e.g. ChIP-seq, ChIP-chip data), and produces as output a dynamic regulatory map. The dynamic regulatory map highlights major bifurcation events in the time series expression data and transcription factors potentially responsible for them.

The Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM) is a Java program for clustering, comparing, and visualizing short time series gene expression data from microarray experiments (~8 time points or fewer). STEM allows researchers to identify significant temporal expression profiles and the genes associated with these profiles and to compare the behavior of these genes across multiple conditions. STEM is fully integrated with the Gene Ontology (GO) database supporting GO category gene enrichment analyses for sets of genes having the same temporal expression pattern. STEM also supports the ability to easily determine and visualize the behavior of genes belonging to a given GO category or user defined gene set, identifying which temporal expression profiles were enriched for these genes. (Note: While STEM is designed primarily to analyze data from short time course experiments it can be used to analyze data from any small set of experiments which can naturally be ordered sequentially including dose response experiments.)

I was given a tree from one of the big box stores a couple months or so back. I really didn't expect a redwood to grow here in Central Florida, but so far it growing at an astonishing rate and looks as healthy and green as any my native Slash and Loblolly Pines. Question is... will they grow here or have I just been lucky with it so far? It was a small bare root tree when I got it, now it's in a small pot and it's branching out and has doubled in size. I just need to know what to do with it and what to expect as I have never "noticed" a Redwood tree here in Central Florida.

I don't know as to why... it's was on "Earth Day" and they were giving them away for free. Below are 3 pics I took this afternoon... the tag says it's a "Coast Redwood". I put the tree in a chair to use as a "size scale". As stated above, I live in Central Florida... "Lakeland" area to be more specific... between Orlando and Tampa. |
Pretty little tree. Use it for a Bonsai, and it'll be easier to give it what it needs to stay alive in your climate. |
I knew someone who tried Coast & Dawn redwoods as well as giant sequoias in Merritt Island (east of Orlando on the coast.) Seems like they grew well at first and then faded away. |

Well, I had/have a feeling that it's just not meant to grow down here... So, if I keep it in a pot... explain the Bonsai method since I know nothing about it. |
In a nutshell, Bonsai involves keeping a tree small with a combination of root pruning, crown pruning, defoliation, wire training and other techniques. The object is a small plant with the aspects of its full-grown nature. Here's an example of a Coast Redwood on display at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens: There are thousands of books on the subject and reams of free online information on the how-to aspects. Linked below is a good summary article at Wikipedia. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wikipedia on Bonsai
I work at Leu Gardens in Orlando. We planted out a Sequoia sempervirens 'Majestic Beauty' in Sept. 2000 and it grew well until this fall. It started to decline and was dead by spring. Don't know what happened. It was about 4ft tall when it was planted and was about 15ft when it died. This spring I planted out a small S. sempervirens and a S. sempervirens 'Aptos Blue'. So far they are doing well. Now Dawn Redwood, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, does well here as long as it gets moist/wet soil. We have several planted out along with specimens of several cultivars. The only problem I have noticed is that the variegated/spotted/golden cultivars lose their coloring after a couple years. Sequoiadendron does not grow here at all. |

I can imagine Coast Redwood doing alright in Florida since it seems to do well in the Central Valley of California if provided irrigation. It also does well in Georgia and South Carolina which also suggests that its reasonable to give it a try. |

There are a few very, very large ones around north Florida and south GA - at least 30 meters tall and more than 50 years old. They need good moisture to do well - this is definitely true of Metasequoia. |
I have a small grove 10 of coastal redwoods growing in Tallahassee Florida. I've been working on it for 25 years now, the largest tree is 40 feet tall with a base girth of 40 inches, second largest is 35 feet with base of 27 inches. The others vary and are from many planting attempts at different times. The most successful trees have happened when the tree actually rooted itself out of the container and I carefully cut away all of the container and buried the surrounding area in a mixture of 1/3 pete moss, 1/3 compost and 1/3 of the surrounding soil that is at a Ph of about 6.5. All previous attempts to fertilize my trees have either killed or weakened them. What works best is a thick laver of mulch (up to 12 inches). I use grass clippings, pine needles, cypress chips, pine chips and basically any green matter from my property that doesn't have any undesirable invasive species in it. The grove struggles every year through the heat of August and September but always recovers and thrives in December and January. |
jimv, out of curiosity, I wonder if your best success with trees that root themselves out of the pots, indicates something about drainage and the water table in Florida ? |
I don't think so. I'm over 100 ft. above sea level and my soil here, equidistant between Georgia and the gulf is labeled reddish brown , moist, medium to fine clayey sand from it's perk test. The test in that area showed 1 minute per inch. My well is 140 ft. deep at the second aquifer. I can't logically explain why the redwoods that root where I set the pots thrive while the ones that I "decide" to plant don't. I've decided (totally illogically) that redwoods want to "grove" instead of stand by themselves. I split the saplings from root bound containers and always have between ten and twenty young trees in 1 to 3 gallon containers. The ones that I have set around 10 to 12 ft from the largest trees will send roots out the drainage holes in their pots in a month or two while the ones I set in other places simply don't. After fighting with them for a number of years I decided to yield. It could be coincidence or the larger trees might be having some impact on the soil that the saplings are responding to. Regardless, after trying many plantings in different places that never thrived I decided to let them "grove" ! It did occur to me that you don't ever see a redwood tree standing alone, they're always in a grove. Having been around since before the dinosaurs, maybe they have some strategies we don't know about or can't measure. |

After The Sacramento Bee uncovered records of a $10 million public relations contract agreed to by state officials overseeing the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, the Brown administration quickly cancelled the agreement. "When we found out about it, we cancelled it," Jim Evans, a spokesman for the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, said.
According to columnists Philip Matier and Andrew Ross in the San Francisco Chronicle, Governor Jerry Brown personally ordered the cancellation of the contract.
Among other things, the contractor, World Pictures Ideas LLC, was expected to produce a video and book highlighting events leading up to the opening of the alternative east span of the bridge, which is far over initial cost estimates. (CalTax: We wonder if the video and book would have highlighted this aspect of the project, which now is estimated to cost $6.4 billion.)
Mr. Evans said the contract was excessive, and had not been properly vetted at CalTrans headquarters. It was approved by District Supervisor Bijan Sartipi.
Bart Ney, speaking on behalf of the company that was awarded the public relations contract, said other large infrastructure projects have included money for commemorative books. Mr. Matier and Mr. Ross reported that Mr. Ney was to get $355,000 per year under the contract. Mr. Ney said his salary was to be less than $200,000, with the rest for benefits and overhead.
According to the Chronicle columnists, CalTrans has spent another $8 million on bridge PR over the last four years, with much of it going to the same consultants. A sizeable amount went to a five-person communications team that billed $75- to $160-an-hour each. (Sources: The Sacramento Bee, December 13; San Francisco Chronicle, December 16.)

Clematis montana rubens
Anemone Clematis
Deciduous, Vines
CLEMATISOf the more than 200 clematis species, most are deciduous vines; exceptions include the useful evergreen vine C. armandii, as well as some interesting upright herbaceous types.
Attractive blooms come in a wide variety of shapes; they may resemble bells, stars, tulips, saucers, urns—even miniature lanterns. Each flower consists of a central brush of stamens surrounded by petallike segments called sepals. Range of flower colors is wide, from pastel pinks to crimson red; periwinkle blue through soft lavender shades, rich magenta, and dark purple; and pure white through creamy tones and even golden yellow. Unless otherwise specified, blooms are 4–6 in. across. Float cut flowers in a bowl of water to make a choice indoor display. Burn cut ends of stems with a match to make flowers last longer. The blossoms of the large-flowered hybrids and a few species are followed by fluffy clusters of seed heads, also useful for flower arrangements.
Leaves vary from pale to dark green, usually divided into leaflets. Leafstalks twist and curl to hold plant to its support.
Vigorous growth to 25 ft., with pale pink 2–2 1/2 -in. flowers and new foliage that is rich bronze, maturing to bronzy green.

Who is that florid chap who seems unable to use a comb?
NHS fault, Cameron, Tories
The BBC haven't mentioned Labour once. So just who was running the NHS when all this happened you BBC scum?
Guido. I have just been passed a draft of the revised inside front page for the British Passport.
Her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs and Bumsex Requests and requires in the Name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer, himself a queen by statute, to pass freely with his Bumsex partner, without let or hindrance, and to afford the bearer, and his Bumsex partner, such assistance and protection as may be necessary.
Naturally, I have already enquired as to why the Bumsex should be capitalised whilst bearer is not as it might make it appear that the former term is more important than the latter but, despite chasing, I have not yet had a reply.
Any thoughts I can pass on?
I would have guessed Neo, but his face is too smoothly shaved, and his clothes too neatly pressed, to be Our 'Arry. Must be his evil twin.
Just tried to download it onto my LipZor cold-sore device.
Hmm……download an app from somebody who works for Rupert Murdoch???
Tunisia: Poltician Shot Dead Outside His Home.
Now who would do a thing like that?
Hi Tony. Well I've fucked up bigtime, by doing this austerity shit, and now it's all going tits up.
Any chance of a heads up on what to do next?
Spares the carpet, marginally better than being shot dead inside your own home.
What do you have to do to actually get the sack from the public "services" in this country. It seems that it has to be more serious than killing hundreds of people through neglect.
I've got a copy of GCSE Economics you can borrow, George.
I don't want to talk about that. I want to talk about my triumph in getting justice for the Hillsborough families. I've got some great pics where I'm superimposed onto a cheering crowd.
I noticed that on the Toady program this morning, when they did their prim time slot on it.
They are quick to mention tories whenever there is blame to aportion though.
Cnuts that they are.
1.) Wear a small cross on a chain or pin
2.) Declare support for UKIP
3.) Speak out against gay marriage
4.) Hold any non-socialist view
5.) Be a member of a gun club
6.) Send your child to private school (unless you are an MP)
7.) Anything else that occurs to them at the time
It looks a little like the late Reg Presley before he could afford a tie.
Stafford was labour controlled at the time . Would you expect anything other than mass killings ?
Has Gordon Brown said sorry for the murders of hundreds of not thousands at the hands of HIS NHS?
Why does Cameron keep having to say sorry for Brown's fuck ups?
Before some lefty mong protests, Brown was in charge of all domestic policy during the Labour years, Blair did foreign policy (and what a fuck up he made of that) and no one took a shit in the NHS without Brown's say so.
Brown fucked the NHS over with his targets obsession and his PFI schemes.
Don't worry George. Our benefits will only cost just over half of that.
The BBC keep blaming Fatchur for things that happened 20 years after she left power (like the banking collapse).
It's funny because when the BBC thought things were going well they never stopped mentioning Brown and his "economic miracle". Now you'd think he'd not been in charge for 13 years. And remember HE ran everything domestic, Blair just did foreign policy stuff.
I know Homosexual Bill was on the prowl last night but your moniker takes things a bit far, old chap.
Would have been a different ball game had it been a private hospital.
Was about to press "Submit Comment" when it occurred to me that maybe the above comment was wrong.
The many THOUSANDS of breast implants that were performed privately using faulty baps that are a great hazard to the lives of those unfortunate to receive them, leaving the recipients with little or no recourse to corrective measures.
Yet faulty parts installed by plumbers or motor mechanics can (and in most cases are) resolved at the expense of those tradesmen themselves. Seems like the medical profession have their "cowboys" as well.
Gordon is a gem. He will always get my vote.
You can get a colonoscopy on the NHS without charge now.
If you are brave.
Many of us working in the NHS are not cowboys.
We are Indians.
It's Neo looks as if he went thru a car wash that had a barbers shop and a drycleaner or maybe he's been taken in hand by a girlfriend or maybe he's been watching too much of Sheldon in the Big Bang Theory and has learn't how to tidy himself up a bit..
I intend to miss this opportunity to have a radical overhaul of the NHS, just as I missed the opportunity to overhaul the BBC.
The tall guy who wasn't hitting back deserved all he got.
If you do not defend yourself, expect that in the video to happen.
I think you had it right first time, PS.
There is not an equivalence between vanity surgery and treatment for illness.
Additionally, the bap makers were the ones who caused the reliability problem. But the client/patient had the real problem. Better to be happy how you are.
Yes, I certainly have paid bailiffs something in the last 4 years, and a dashed good job they did, too! I could never have winkled old Mrs Miggins out of her cottage without them!

2001 – 2005 Thatcher
2005- 2008 Brown

Surely now that you work for the Digger you can just put it on all our phones anyway?
As much fun as Bruce Willis dying on his arse on the 'One show'
Just leave it for Liebour to get back in after all "lessons have been learn't" ask little Peter and the rest of humanity they helped.
Would expect more than mass killings irrespective of who was in control.
That Labour delivered mass killings is the problem, and that no moron appears to be doing anything about holding them to account is compounding this.
That applies to America only.
Their prisoners are released without any support, they go and live under bridges and in cardboard boxes and storm drains.
Our prisoners are released into social housing and their only downside is lack of a sky subscription.
How come Matt Ridley got voted into the Lords today ?
Why do they bring on 22 kids to support the Football " Stars " …and then studiously ignore them?
A word from Bobby Charlton or Peter Shilton, is it too much to expect?
That makes sense. Was confused as couldn't see Northern Rock being the reason.
C4 News.
No mention that labour were in power when the Stafford Hospital issues took place.
Re RBS Stephen Hester should have smacked Guru-Murthy in the face. Murthy is an arrogant shit.
C4 News biased towards the left.
Just checking my memory was correct
"There is not an equivalence between vanity surgery and treatment for illness."
Patients with a flat bap can be very ill indeed. Their vanity surgery was the cause of it and they (some) are left with no alternative but to have corrective surgery paid for by the taxpayer.
Plumbers and motor mechanics would also like the taxpayer to underwrite their losses. Fat chance.
And now Brown's tea boy, Ed Miliband, has taken over the reins. Why hasn't Andy Burnham resigned?
Does it come in pink?
Another for your bookshelves. ( and my bedside pile )
Oh yes we wrote the book on little tricks like that, glad to see C4 towing the party line.
They don't do resignations in Liebour, they just move them on the destroy something else.
Yes – you were correct.
Didn't know he was a libertarian: Monbiot did a hatchet piece on him, http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/oct/23/comment.business
It wasn't a libertarian business model which broke Rock. It was business decisions made by individuals who did not understand how a bank functions, and who had a poor grasp of poorer economics.
They were playing the carry trade without understanding the true nature of that dynamic.
Seems like a good guy, but he should steer clear from finance moving forward.
This may be worth watching:
He won the Hayek prize 2011.
May give rational optimist a miss though: Gates rightly criticized that book. Optimism is what one hopes to be born from pessimistic decision making, at least in the real world that is the case.
Optimistic thinking like that can blind you to the realities of life. The financing structure of the Rock is the text book anti-thesis.
Figures for last year showed that 29% of people who died while being treated by the NHS died from the Liverpool Care Pathway. That 29% = 129,000 patients.
Why are the BBC not parked up outside Burhnam's house doing a live piece to camera?
@ffs: Thank you for reading and pointing out the pleonasm.
The BBC have their noses shoved too far up bum boy Burnham's arse to do interviews.
it is good to help but isn't the private eye supposed to help us,
but then
they might feel more important.
no peace when money speaks.
Why does the myth of the angelic nurse still prevail? The fact is that the vast majority of hospital staff are a disgrace. There is no semblance of compassion or care in the profession. The staff who were at Stafford have since moved on, so they'll be spreading their delightful brand of care at other hospitals now. They're not facing any prosecution or disciplinary process.
And against this grim background, let's not forget who else has blood on their hands. Labour. This happened on their watch and under their targets-fixated culture. Cameron should not have apologised today for what happened under Labour. He should have laid the responsibility at the feet of the Labour front bench.
Would evidence that a major children's charity knowingly employed an international terr0rist as a social worker be enough to cause a ripple in the Westminster pond ?
We are talking of two different things. I was talking about the initial insertion which is why I used the term vanity surgery. Clearly if it goes horribly wrong, then the patient has an illness which may have been caused by the initial surgery but requires a different treatment. That would not be classified as vanity surgery.
We agree on the final outcome.
Many prisoners have nowhere to go where they are welcome and re-offend within weeks in order to go back inside
Seen the myth in action last year, some old lady wanted the toilet, it took the b,stards over an hour to get some ancillary staff to help, all we got from the so called nurses was just press the call button, they were too fkin busy eating and drinking or maybe with their new found university status it was below them to help, Liebour the destroyers their own ideals.
According to reports, Julian Assange is running for the Australian Senate. Presumably in the unlikely circumstances that he is elected, he will claim diplomatic immunity.
I went into Stafford Hospital and came out with a hump. That's the NHS for you.
Cameron should have laid out the facts of the slaughter, then offered the despatch box to Ed Miliband to apologise on behalf of the government he was an integral part of at the time
Actually, us care workers are just updating our statuses on Facebook, and humping each other in the staff room, so fuck you!
In the public sector there are too many instances of nobody will take responsibility,all we hear is lessons will be learnt.
The NDS and you can figure out what the D means has been shown up as what a disgrace it has become,and again nobody takes responsibility.
Do any of you think that in private industry this would become the norm barring odd cases?.
Having worked in private industry almost all my working life and latterly in senior positions,I can tell you that you would not get away with,not me guv and lessons will be learnt.
Cammoron today offering an abject apology on behalf of the Liebour part was a disgrace,where was mascara man and others?.
As for that Millitwit and his ramblings about a bedroom tax,why does this pillock not understand the definition of what a tax is,frankly he is a prize asshole.
That would not work.
The only way the diplomatic immunity deal could work is if he became a UN special envoy. And then safe passage is only granted to New York when the UN recall him.
You should worry Richard, I was the bloody transplant donor.
Something definitely not smelling right at all…
That's really unfair. I am NOT updating my status on facebook. I am doing research for my next qualification and those bloody patients better stop messing me about.
I am studying the social interactions between disparate communities in hospital (aka Angry Birds).
Burnham, Johnson and Brown must be proud of their NHS. Mid Staff over a 1000 dead (probably double that in reality) and Maidstone hospital (hundreds dead) and now even more hospitals accused of exterminating their patients.
The picture below sums up Labour's management of the NHS.
Why is the media not asking if any of the Labour politicians involved going to resign their seats?
That he is being so blatantly dumb is odd, almost like he was throwing bones which were not being picked up.
Something very off.
Whether Jockland is a white country is a moot point. Highest per capita prison population in Europe, highest drug abuse offenders, highest single mums, highest rate of population on benefits. That's what you get for a hundred years of socialism and voting exclusively for the fucking Labour party. Rock on!
I would like to state that what has been going on over the past few years is not far off the mark, and your comparison is disturbingly precise.
A difference between the two events though is that those responsible for the bodies in the photo did not try to pass the crime off as an administrative error and were largely prosecuted for their crimes.
That cuunt in charge of the NDS reminds me of the leather faced bitch who took the kids off the UKIP couple.
Notice how THAT story soon died a death as well, our fucking media are shit, crap and fucking useless.
The problem was when Liebore were in power the media were all sucking Brown's cock dry of cum, the BBC and fucking Hunts like Mark Easton couldn't wait to get on the air and read out the latest tractor stats as FACTS, yet all the time the piles of bodies were being racked up. The families of the dead were simply being ignored by the media for fear of upsetting the most mentally unstable human being to have ever walked the Earth.
Note the difference now, the BBC challenge THIS government every single day, can you remember one Newsnight where they were not investigating or accusing the current government (and lying) yet under that fucking one eyes Scottish retarded shitbag not a single word was said.
Piss off you BBC cuunts
The deaths of 90 hospital patients from clostridium difficile are "scandalous", Health Secretary Alan Johnson has said.
Mr Johnson said he was shocked by the findings, but denied accusations the problems were caused by staff being put under pressures to meet government A and E targets.
Well well well that sounds familiar doesn't it?
Emily Shitless on Newsnight straight in. "The government are here to explain why no one has lost their job"
So why no Liebore cuunts on Newsnight then Titless? Where is bummer Burnham or Alan "postman Twat" Johnson?
Due to recent developments, the list has required extension:
before 55BC savages – Thatcher without clothes
55 – 54 BC Julius Caesar – didn't like the Tories and left
53BC – 43 AD Proto-Thatcherites
43 – 410 Romans – mildly Thatcherite and therefore still bad
411 – 1066 Traces of Thatcher burning cakes
1066 – 1373 Norman Conquest – couvrir de chaume
1373 – 1452 First Thatcher reign
1452 – 1485 Richard III lived in a Nissan Micra, recently discovered
1486 – 1837 Thatcherite Empire – the sun never set which was awkward
1837 – 1900 Queen Victoria – probably Thatcher in disguise
Then as you so correctly set out.
I suspect both alanjohnson and andy burnham who created and presided over the destruction of our nhs to the point where people were either left disabled or encouraged to die are in hiding tonight!
So what is Hattie Hatemen's excuse going to be for the NHS fuckups? She blamed MEN for the banking failure, but being as the NHS is dominated by women who is she going to blame this time?
Nah, their out dining on their hard earnt cash.
People were dinking vase water, laying in their own mess and dieing, what's that to us we are here to stop the tories from privitising the wonderful NHS.
Woman on Newsnight explaining to Emily Shitless that she had hundreds of emails about shit care in the NHS.
So will Newsnight investigate? Of course not.
Just wait till they get something about the NHS to hang round the necks of the Tories, Newsnight won't shut up about it then.
They're big men when they're mobhanded – on a one to one basis most of these budding mujahideen are gutless no-hopers.
Give it a few days and Bungham will slither onto the BBC somewhere.
Johnson usually appears on This Wee with brillo, I'm not expecting him to get a kicking if he does.
Ed Miliband seems rather quiet as well.
It is interesting the company that some keep:
You don't have permission to access /images/battle_holocaust12.jpg on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
He was a critic of the 'moderate Islamist' ruling party – apparently someone didn't catch the Beeb's bit about them being moderate.
Recording the sex of aborted foetuses would be too costly and could distress women, ministers have ruled, despite evidence that illegal terminations on gender grounds may be taking place in the UK.
…Nothing to do with the fact that records wold show up an ethnic bias.
Being as abortion is legal in the UK and as I understand it women don't have to give a reason to get rid of it, what's the problem?
Feminists support abortion but not if it's baby girls being got rid of? Only baby boys? I'm confused if women want rid of a kid because of its gender what's the problem?
All I object to is fucking paying for it.
I've still got this nice blank sheet of paper…..

Biased BBC in all of its glory.
The appalling corrupt Emily Nomates on Labour's Newsnight undertakes an aggressive interview of a coalition minister, immediately after a puff piece with Postie Johnson, giving him a chance to say Stafford was all the Tories fault (no challenge from her).Read the Guardian's comments this evening for a signpost of where Newsnight would go with this.
The BBC has been in 'Defend Labour' mode all day, from Gameshow Campbell this morning who belittled the 1200 dead by seeking balance (that's a novelty) by asking also for people's good experiences -when there weren't enough, he claimed those ringing in with their bad experiences were 'self selecting'.
THE BIG QUESTION to Nikki-ta and his biased BBC chums is; Where the fuck is Andy Burnham today? Have they sought him out? Are there questions you need to ask him?
Yup but what about the rest of the MSM. A couple of undercover nursing assistants with covert cameras doesn't cost a fortune.
Rabid MPs to be micro-chipped.
Can do far more harm that a couple of dogs
We promised a new headline every day.
Gays to be allowed to marry
Dogs to be micro-chipped
Margarine to be banned
Horse-meat to be Halal
Sausages to be given more teeth.
NHS Managers to be Knighted for services to population control.
This all happened under Liebore, Bumthem and Johnstoned can't wheedle out of this. Also that one eyed twat Brown is involved as well. Like I said elsewhere, no one took a shit in the NHS without the say so of McFucking uselessjockstupidmongbastard.
Nicky Campbell loves Gordon Brown and Labour he won't tolerate a single word against them.
He gives the game away by always calling Labour politicians by their first name, but Tory ones by the surname. I don't even thing the jock twat realises he's doing it.
We end up like China with a shortage of pussy. Is that enough of a reason

as I sometimes use this space to express my own slant I will say that
All life is connected. The sense of self that you feel is also shared by the sparrow and the rabbit. there was something else that I was going to say but I think I will leave that 'till later.
Because no one in the MSM dared to take on McHalfwit or Nu Labia. Liebore basically ran a 3rd world dictatorship for 13 years. Just look at how the MSM take the Tories apart every single day, you saw none of that, even back during the Iraq war the BBC were 'timid' in attacking Liebore, instead going after Bush and the USA.
Brown and his goons ruled by fear except with the BBC who were always willing to offer a blow job, especially after the champagne strewn corridors of the BBC back in 97.
But sometimes I am a sparrow…I don't really have a sense of self but of selves.
I think that its called MURDER in many societies
I would however make exceptons in the case of McMental

The M case involving police has been somewhat vexing.
It was well documented that M has a volatile way. Certain reporters at the Telegraph testify to that. In fact, Project Umubano was where that started in Rwanda. An interesting one for DFiD.
So why did M lose it so when a young lady penned a bad report ?
Also, why on his last day before becoming chief whip did he sign off aid to Rwanda despite it being well known that the UN was about to release a report implicating Rwanda's involvement in East Congo war. G'ning had to correct that.
So: M, Rwanda, UKAid.
M has another major interest: Armajaro. They have an interest in Cocoa and Coffee: Some nicknames connected include Chocfinger.
Rwanda produces a lot of coffee and some cocoa. Rwanda's commodities exports got hit quite hard in the downturn of 2008, making its products a very good buy.
Strangely enough, Uganda is another country to which DFiD funds have been held back by G'ning, due to Uganda's misuse. This is again connected with the conflict in Eastern DRC. Windmills were the advertised project for Uganda.
Uganda also produces quite a lot of coffee.
Armajaro is attempting to diversify away from commodities now. They were developing interest in green energy among other things, like wind turbines.
Dave gets on quite well with Rwanda as well.
Is the smell of coffee and cordite getting stronger in the breeze ?
Time to wake up.
When these facts are understood, it is quite clear who was behind pleb gate and why.
It doesn't pay to get too greedy at the trough, or abdicate oneself from a certain degree of discrete decorum. Silly boy.
> NHS Managers to be Knighted for services to population control.
– Not correct.
> NHS Managers to be Knighted for reducing state pension obligations.
– Correct.
It is interesting to note that Tony Bliar is a personal adviser to Rwanda's premier Paul Kagame.
This UN report was quite damning and explains why both Rwanda / Uganda are supporting M23 in Eastern DRC:
It is all about mineral smuggling. The red line for the UN was the capture of Goma.
UN Res: 2078 : DEMANDING END TO OUTSIDE SUPPORT FOR M23 REBELS, SECURITY COUNCIL ADOPTS RESOLUTION RENEWING DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO SANCTIONS REGIME

They will be very badly adjusted in their relations with women, and that is a symptom of their feeling of being failures and that the world is against them. They are not making it with girls, and so they turn to other forms of spiritual comfort — which of course is no comfort."

Calling upon trade and industry to give up pessimism, President Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday said it was time for them to rededicate themselves to the cause of growth and in doing so they should consider adopting a "domestic demand growth strategy."
Addressing a felicitation meeting organised by the Madras Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) here, Mr. Mukherjee said: "Nothing can be more dangerous than negative sentiment. I am sure you will continue to radiate confidence and drive development process with courage and a spirit of adventure and confidence."
There was no dearth of self-styled Cassandras and prophets of doom. Collective efforts had helped overcome the problems in the past and they would to overcome the challenges now too, Mr. Mukherjee added.
Deviating from his prepared speech, he said there may be difficulties, many of which appeared insurmountable; yet each of the problems could be solved through determination and innovation. The slowdown in the GDP, the high rate of inflation and the widening current account deficit besides the fiscal deficit, which continued to be a serious concern, were issues facing the country. "We have to solve these problems, lamenting and spreading negative sentiments will not help," the President said.
No country could live in isolation and international events affected domestic economy, the resolution of the eurozone crisis was not in the horizon. Thus, the need was to use the domestic market. "It [growth] is not so high, but cannot be too low also," he explained. A look at the growth scenario in the country over a period of time revealed that there was nothing disappointing. The fundamentals continued to be strong, he added.
The country was able to recover after the global financial crisis in 2009-10 and 2010-11. The GDP growth shrunk last financial year and in the first quarter of the current fiscal, it was 5.5 per cent, which no doubt was disappointing. But "not many countries are doing better than us" and IMF had also revised the growth projections of many countries, Mr. Mukherjee said.
The President also underscored that the nation's growth should be as inclusive as possible to encompass all sections of the society and it should be ensured that each and everyone got to reap the benefit of development.

If you can get some bloodroot, Dutchman's britches, Spring beauty, and trout lily, they would all grow well in your woods. I also plant spring bulbs (scilla 'siberian squill' looks great next to bloodroot,) and I love the little species tulips.They remain small (I plant them in groups of at least 6-8) and naturalize over the years. |
Bloodroot, wild ginger, false solomon's seal, virginia blue bells, baneberry, blue cohosh, trout lily, running strawberry vine (euonymus obovatus), Uvularia, violets, wild blue phlox, marginal fern, maidenhair fern, wood poppy, wild geranium (G. maculatum), wild columbine, foam flower are some of the plants in my woodland. The biggest problem is finding ethical nurseries to buy them as they are all native and often wild collected. I buy mine at wildflower society sales and small native plant nurseries. |

VA Loan Funding Fees and Tax Deductions: A Reader Question
A reader asks, "Can anyone tell me where I can find up-to-date (2013) information of VA home loan funding fee and if it is tax deductible?"
The VA published some revised guidelines for VA loan funding fees in a mortgagee letter back in 2011, which addressed VA loan funding fees through September 2016.
That guidance is available at http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/circulars/26_11_19.pdf as a downloadable .PDF file.
It's important to note that this file, which contains the most recent updated VA loan funding fee guidelines (and is linked to from the main Funding Fee page found at VA.gov) contains funding fee information for a specific set of dates from 2011 but also the most current VA loan funding fee information effective from November 22,, 2011 to September 30 2016.
We mention this here to help avoid confusion–it's easy to glance at the VA loan funding fee chart and assume the first set of numbers are the ones currently in effect.
This is not so–the current VA loan funding fee chart has two sections for each VA loan funding fee percentage–one for the now-expired VA loan funding fees in effect in 2011, and another for the VA loan funding fees good until 2016.
To address the second part of this reader question–whether or not a VA loan funding fee is considered tax deductible–it's our policy not to give out tax advice related to VA home loans for two important reasons. One, we specialize in VA home loans and the issues around them, not taxes. Tax questions should be directed to a tax professional who knows the ins and outs of the tax system.
Two, tax laws change frequently and what was permitted yesterday may not be allowed tomorrow. Tax pros know all the latest rule changes and are the ones best equipped to handle these types of tax-related questions. You can also get tax information from www.IRS.gov which may or may not have specific web pages to answer this question.
For more information on VA loan funding fees, speak to a loan officer or contact the VA directly by calling 1-800 827-1000.
Do you have questions about VA home loans? Ask us in the comments section.

Please clarify….I bought a home in 2013 using my VA loan benefit. Is the VA Funding Fee a tax deductible item in filing my taxes for 2013.??

A very unfortunate situation, no matter what. Twin brothers, both killed in, what appears to be, gang related activity. A very unnecessary position that causes havoc no matter where and countless heartaches to a lot of other people. My sincere condolences to all the family members. Such a loss of life and double tragedy to many.

WA Lawyer Free Speech
IJ v. State of Washington
Government Agency Seeks to Silence Not Only Citizen Activists, But Their Public Interest Lawyers, Too
IJ Client Robin Farris |
A government agency whose job it is to limit political debate is now seeking to drastically restrict free civil rights advocacy—advocacy that has guided our nation to live up to its ideals of freedom and justice. A first-of-its-kind legal battle over the agency's actions is now raging in Washington state and will answer important questions about the limits of government power, the right of free speech and political participation, and the ability of civil rights advocates to represent their clients against a government agency when that agency is violating constitutionally enshrined rights.
It is bad enough that Washington's Public Disclosure Commission is working to silence those who merely seek to participate in the political process. But now, the PDC has sunk to a new level of vindictiveness pursuing a policy that threatens America's long-held traditions of civil rights advocacy: The PDC is now seeking to unconstitutionally silence the public interest law firm that came to the aid of those the PDC tried to bully into silence in the first place. Undaunted, the grassroots political activists and their pro bono public interest attorneys filed a lawsuit in state court against the Public Disclosure Commission seeking to vindicate their right to receive and offer free legal aid to those whose most-fundamental civil rights are being violated by the government.
Since 2011, the Institute for Justice (IJ) has represented "Recall Dale Washam" in a challenge to a PDC-enforced statute that caps the amount of contributions that can be donated to a recall campaign. IJ, like most public interest law firms, is a 501(c)(3) organization, which doesn't charge its clients for its services and, under the tax code, attracts tax-deductible contributions to sustain its mission. But if the PDC is successful in its efforts to require the Recall Dale Washam campaign to count IJ's help as a campaign contribution, IJ would not only lose its ability to speak out freely through its pro bono legal help, it would also jeopardize the organization's tax status because its legal services would be misconstrued as political advocacy—a "no no" in the nonprofit world. The recall campaign itself would face massive fines and even criminal punishment for accepting what the PDC is calling "in-kind contributions"—or what American jurisprudence has always considered vitally important free civil rights legal representation. Despite administering one of the most restrictive and intrusive campaign finance regulatory regimes in the country, the PDC seeks to limit the amount of legal services organizations like IJ can provide to organizations to vindicate their rights. For instance, in the recall context, the limit is a mere $900—or about two hours of billable time for the average attorney from any major American city.
The PDC has left IJ with two unacceptable choices: Jeopardize its nonprofit status or limit its public interest advocacy. Representing itself as well as its clients from the recall case, who rely on IJ's free civil rights representation, the Institute for Justice selected a third option: Take the PDC to court. IJ filed suit in the Pierce County Superior Court in Tacoma, Wash., on June 13, 2013. The case—which is the first of its kind in the nation—seeks to put an end to the PDC's unprecedented actions. The case seeks to set an important precedent to stop this brazen attempt to frustrate federal civil rights law and secure the plaintiffs' ability to provide, and receive, legal help in vindicating fundamental constitutional rights.

Art and Soul is in its fourth year at Hayes Cooper and this year's theme is "Don't Stop Believing in the Arts at Hayes Cooper Center."
"The format of Art and Soul has changed over these four years but our goal remains the same; provide the students of HCC with a variety of visual and performing art experiences despite limited funding in this area," said Allyson Hardy, chair of the program.
Hardy explained this year's Art and Soul Night would focus on a presentation and celebration of all that the students have done in their PACs (Preferred Art Club) classes.
Art and Soul Night will be on Friday at 6:30 p.m. at the Merigold Storm Shelter next to HCC.
The cost of admission is free and donations are welcome.
"All of the art created in the PACs will be on display and the stage performance will begin with a live auction of our large student-created art," explained Hardy.
The auctioneers this year will be HCC parents Arnold Luciano and Aaron Lasker.
Hardy, Sherry Tubbs, Casey Andrews, Celeste Aguzzi, and student art teacher Amber Wolfe, and parents Courtney Dean and Mary Rizzo led the creation of collaborative art pieces.
The art pieces range from silk painting, watercolors, collage, fibre weaving, and painting.
Students will also perform for attendees in areas such as percussion, vocal, African drumming, and student produced iPad movies.
The PACs classes included culinary arts, photography, African drumming, shadow dance, voice, creative movement, mixed media, and much more.
Each PAC class met every Friday afternoon for one hour for five Fridays.
"Students seemed to enjoy focusing on a specialized area of the arts. This year we wanted to expand the idea of what we traditionally think of as the arts. Students use those creative thinking skills when making an iMovie, creating a new culinary dish, writing a script for shadow dance, designing a puppet, or doing a science project. We hope we inspired students in their particular area of interest and helped them to see how the arts touch so many areas of their life," said Hardy.
Hardy went to say that schools are losing funding for arts programs and it is now more important to keep the arts strong in the lives of children.
"In this day and age of standardized testing and little funding for the arts, HCC continues to put a priority on finding a way to make the arts a part of their curriculum in order to give their students the enrichments in their education that only the arts provide," said Hardy.
Through the past four years the Art and Soul program has grown and in their first year the program consisted of a talent show-like formant along with inviting local artists in to do collaborative large art. Each grade was given a famous artist, which inspired the artwork.
The second year the talent show and collaborative arts still continued and a silent acution was added with a stronger focus on individual student art inspired by the theme "Rollin' on the river."
The third year the program changed by having a presentation on a "grand stage" and a strong fundraising effort and gathering of the community support.
"This resulted in us being able to do a Broadway show with a school-wide cast of 170 students in 'Alice in Wonderland' on the BPAC stage. Again we asked local artists to help with large collaborative art that was for the first time auctioned at a live auction. It was very successful and as a result we have been able to pay artists to teach PAC classes," said Hardy.
By having these artists come to the school and work with students, Hardy said students had the chance to choose a medium that interested them most.
"This year we wanted to give students the ability to choose the area of the arts that most interested them. We also wanted to give them smaller class sizes that enabled more one-on-one instruction. We have over 22 PACs with class sizes of 15 or less. Each PAC teacher was paid with funds raised by Art and Soul in previous years," she explained.
Hardy said the Delta Arts Alliance helped in connecting with artists for the program.
"We appreciate the support of the DAA who helped us connect with local artists and for Rori Herbison who has taught our Marketing PAC," she added.
