Chris Davies Attacks UKIP's Farage Over Transparency
He does appear to have a point.
The UKIP transparency reports stop in 2011…
We is doin' what Gordo says – so fuck you!
You too? I am no good at remembering faces.
Well looking on the bright side at least the wing commander isn't asking for his back pocket monies to go up by 4bn quid unlike the rest of the troughers there
Mr Davis, please drop the fake righteous indignation. Losing a receipt is something that happens to us all these days – especially as shops seem to be intent on stuffing our pockets with pieces of till-roll (even if we are only buying a newspaper). True, Mr Farage should provide a transparent account of his expenses – but failure to do so completely does not mean that his message to the EU is not accurate, or well timed.
The EU's inability (or is it unwillingness?) to manage its finances is on an industrial scale, and given the army of bureaucrats who are well paid (and exceptionally well pensioned) there really should not be a problem with producing auditable accounts.
Please remember that the EU has failed to have its accounts signed by external auditors for well over ten years. It may as well not even bother to produce any accounts – for they are worthless….
If that's all he can find to criticise in the EU Duma, I certainly don't.
Nothing to see here. Look over there at Farage ——>
If you sit in a transparent glasshouse throw stones through the open door. So perhaps Mister Fa Rage will rage about his expenses next time. They're all at it.
It's called an own goal !!
Is Chris Davies,s accounts transparent ? where can I have a look ? and he has just summed up what is wrong with the EU
Why does it let such lax accounting procedures prevail ?
If UKIP is transparent up to 2011 that is a resut, how many years have the Auditors refused to sign of the EUs accounts now.
Farages response should be fun
The chuffing irony.
A Liberal Fascist Demonprat calling for UKIP transparency.
A good sign this – obviously dawning on the Liberal quizzling traitors that UKIP have just overtaken them in the polls.
Ha. Ha. Ha.
Rattled is who Chris Davis is.
Like all other Lib Dems.
UKIP now the third party in polls.
A Coalition attack dog out on a first sorte to snap at the heels of Nigel and UKIP.
This is seismic – Tories getting a hoon like Davis to do their dirty work.
And was it only Friday when Camerons whips slithered up to McShane to get him to ask a question in support of the EU?
OK…so Chris Davis find a couple of hundred £ in a set of UKIP statements, so that makes it ok to false account, pay bribes, be subject to multiple layers of crime in the EU's own accounts.
There is a word…and he is full of it.
My only expenses were on raffia tea, and a DVD of fern gully the last rainforest (Bless to Gaia pbuh)
So this non-entity is getting all het up 'cos Farage's accounts haven't been made transparent for a couple of years? I really couldn't give a toss.
The EU is costing us £53 million a day, and their accounts haven't been signed off for what..? 17 or 18 years?
Just another sign the liblabcons are getting rattled. Chris Davies can f*ck off.
25 convicted paedophiles behind bars having had positions with the Labour Party.. http://t.co/PJEwGftp

Chris speaking to his usual captive audience. Where the f*** are all the other MEPs?
Oh, I thought you meant pathetic .
The irony of some bed wetter who supports an organisation which hasn't been able to get its accounts signed off for 10 plus years, lecturing Farage on transparency !
Good to see the ConsLieLaborLibDims are really getting very rattled by the
continued RISE in the Opinion Polls of U K I P.
Pushing the LibDims down into 4th place or lower…where they belong….LOL……
NIGEL, Keep at these Pim*ps, Para*sites & Lee*ches they are getting very shitty
as there total demise fast approaches day by day…….LOL
Why not draw of a league table of who has the most kiddie fiddlers in number
that are known & include the latent ones as well, or do they believe they are never
going to be outed because of being ma*so*ns ??? like J*S
Christ on a bike, I barely made it halfway down the page before I had to stop out of nausea. It documents a catalogue of horrific abuse by Labour councillors and mayors over the years. Why hasn't there been more publicity about this? Labour seems to be riven with rapists and perverts. One would be a bad apple, but THIS many p*edos in the party holding senior positions?!
EU toady makes desperate attempt to ignore the truth by smearing whistleblower.
Yes, the EU and their running dogs the Limpdums seem to be a little rattled, te he, but myself, I would vote for Vlad the Impaler whilst he munched his way through an orphanage full of five year olds and farted the national anthem, as long as he got us out of the EU.
Once out of the EU we could sort out his flatulence problem.
Eid Mubarak to all my constituents across the North West
— Chris Davies (@ChrisDaviesEU) October 26, 2012
Get down the bookies then and put your house on UKIP polling more than the Liberals in the next GE.
See if you have a roof over your head after the election.
He's merely pointing out Farage's hypocrisy.
Looks like all the MEPs are working hard, just not in the Parliament! No flocker there…..
Fuck off from all your constituents who don't believe in sky fairies and regard the religion of piss with well-grounded suspicion.
This Tos***r says about Farges empty chair? has he had a look around!
i can see loads of empty seats. Davies is So F*****G boring, they all F***K off
what a pr**k we are haemorrhaging billions and this Tw*t can only talk about Farge .
By the way look at his expenses .he must be kidding right! look at some of those exspenses FFS Repairs and maintenance £7,254.00

It's about time someone gave Farage some of his own medicine. No matter what you think of UKIP's policies or the EU, Nige can be a rude, pompous twerp at times, using the chamber for personal grandstanding in a way that no Westminster MP would ever get away with.
Has to be ….. his outfit just about sums it up. Perhaps some leather patches on the sleeve needed to finish it off…….
Let us not forget Kinnock sacking the accountant for not signing those very accounts.
We've just ordered several new sky fairies from Airbus to add to our key House of War – House of Islam routes.
I think Nigel is brilliant. I urge everyone to vote UKIP. Vote UKIP – get Libor.
Ukip could avoid any criticism of this type by announcing that their MEP's elected in the 2014 elections will not attend the EU.
Anyone from any party who wants to leave the EU could vote UKIP without compromising their loyalties.
They are already on target to win more MEP seats than Lab or Con.
No referendum needed if they get enough support.
Wonder if he tweets for the other religions in the region?
Let's not be too hasty with that publicity thingie.
Vote Conservative.
– They always looked after me.
Personal Income:
MEPs are paid a salary fixed at the rate of 38.5% of the basic salary of a judge serving on the European Court of Justice. At time of writing (March 2012) this amounts to €7,957.
what the fuck?
Time for Farge to rip this Hunt a new arsehole….and perhaps ask what those he employs, all 7 of them, actually do each and every day. Guido should ask Davies for his receipts. Lets see if he is that transparent himself.
And a Hosni Mubarak to you too, Sunny Jim. As-salaam Al-laikum, and I like salami, too, as we used to say.
Unlike the front benches on both sides of the House who are rude, pompous twerps most of the time. A reckoning is coming. The English have had enough and the more the twerps look down their noses and think they know best what is good for us the worse it is going to be.
Henceforth November 22 2015 will be known as "Capitulation Day" the day when Cameron surrenders to his EU bosses on budget reform an also to the European Courts on votes for villains
Initially Cameron was talking about vetoing ANY rises, now its been watered down to above inflation. But fear not Cameron WILL give in to Rumpy and pay whatever Rumpy demands. There will of course be buckets of spin put on his surrender to make him sound tough but we will still pay up, The convicts WILL get the vote too just you watch
Oh yes they will get the vote, Cameron will capitulate. A couple of weeks ago he said he would veto ANY rise in the EU budget and would push for a reduction. But he is now in discussions with Rumpy about a rise in line with inflation at 5%. You can bet he will capitulate on this as well, However for some reason he thinks the electorate will believe his promise of a referendum AFTER the next election, you couldn't make it up, Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!!!!!!
The Spinmiesters will pull out all the stops on this one, Just watch this space
Care for a bet with me on the UKIP successes to come?
The Lib Dems are toast.
Go to a student stronghold like Sheffield – see what those ex-Young Libtards are saying about Cleggs duplicitous party after the last GE lies.
I would not take any notice of what that pot smoking poor excuse of a politician says .
So the Coalition attacks begin!
This is a good day – obviously after cameron gets a slime like McShane to ask questions of Carswell in the House & now Clegg getting a spineless creature like Davies on the stump our Mr Farage must be doing something very right.
Ho. Ho. Ho.
Yep, desperate times etc, first McSlime and now indignant traitor Davies. Whoever next, Keith Vazoline and Simon 'straight choice' Hughes tag teaming in? Terrified…..not.
Fuck the students. By the time of the next election all those who voted thinking there would be no increase in student fees will be five years older and have left university. It will, at this point dawn on them, assuming they are in any way employable and are now paying taxes themselves, that actually the taxpayer doesn't owe them a university education. And particularly not a degree in 'media studies' or any number of other bullshit courses.
The kids who will be starting university in 2015 will have had the benefit of a full five years to target their 'A' Levels towards a degree that might actually offer them a paying job rather than the comedy arse-wipe certificates they've hitherto been paying 3,000 quid a year to receive.
he still hasn't published HIS expenses like he said he would.
troughing pig.
he's still smarting after being slapped down by the co-leader of the EFD group Lega Nord.
Lega Nord is not merely a partner of UKIP in the EFD group, the party shares the group presidency with Nigel Farage.
When the convicted racist Lega Nord MEP Mario Borghezio praised the murderous fascist gunman Breivik, Farage assured the UKIP membership that he was 'suspended' from the group. This was bollocks.
Lega Nord co-president of the group, Frank Speroni, holds the whip hand over Farage. Lega Nord was not prepared to even consider allowing Borghezio to be suspended from the EFD group, and Farage was put in his place. He was told, at a meeting between the two delegations, that if action were to be taken against Borghezio then Lega Nord would leave en masse, and collapse the group.
The group is important to Farage as his presidency gives him access to certain privileges. This apparently comes before principle, before UKIP's political integrity, and certainly before telling the truth to the party membership
a lot of Labour voters will be getting their collars felt at the BBC though.
My new car came with a European flag on the rear plate. Twats.
I am not a European citizen and in protest will be returning my Nobel peace prize.
"how many years have the Auditors refused to sign of the EUs accounts now."
A mere 16 coming up to 17 years, I mean a piffling 100 billion un-accounted for, lost or stolen. Peanuts!
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Looks like the Lib Dems have decided to move to stage three.
Nigel must be delighted.
So the libsh*tes and the uconned us attacking UKIP, sounds more like defending themselves.
Given that about half Biggles' MEPs are on fraud charges, they're not going to be stupid enough to keep receipts now are they?
Damn right, and if this is the europhiles fight back he's wasting his time.
We don't trust any of 'em. Will our Brussels Broadcasting Corporation be showing this or would that mean acknowledging that ukip exist?
There's a head of steam among real people here about the eu. Labour may unwittingly have helped stoke the boiler when all they meant to do was get a cheap point or two over DC and his eurodiscomfort.
The eu will never accept any meaningful renegotiation and our establishment is so housetrained they're only fit for traitors gate.
It's all going to have to fall apart before we get free.
There's a picture worth a thousand piss takes, Chris Davies so indignant he had to read his 'heart felt' anger off of a f*kking script. Absolute hypocritical tosser. You know the saying, 'let him without sin cast the first…..you know the rest.
Let's not forget Godfrey Bloom's bunkup with the Front National. To be fair, it's hard to know whether this is better than the tories' Council of Europe alliance with Radovan Karadzic's party.
Don't vote UKIP get Continuity Omnishambles.
The Rainbow Coalition will make all the same decisions unless you vote differently to what you normally vote.
shouldn't that be Sandra in Accounts Fiddling..?
Ukip needs destroying before it condemns the country to another Labour government and even worse, a failed 'out' vote thanks to your murky, troughing, lying, court case riddled excuses for MEPs.
"total demise fast approaches day by day…….LOL"
A demise that is no more richly deserved, though it is a close call, than for Chris Davies and his Lib-Dim sellout scum.
sure, but EUkip have singularly failed to achieve anything of not over the last 20 years after millions of pounds spent.
I joined when Jimmy started it up, poor sod must be spinning in his grave
feels like it – doesn't it?
now – after the US election – its cut, cut and cut again in the US – defence spending and – subject to the 'trade round' – aggie subs
EU wants more money – no wonder – its losing its voter popularity sur le continent – and needs the slush to buy loyalty (cf imperial elections for the HRE several centuries ago)
with luck its falling apart anyway
But will they ? it occurs to me that UKIP really do need to get their house in order, wasnt Nigel in trouble a few years back with his expenses ? Because a lot of people are sceptical about the EU it doesnt follow that UKIP are the answer, unfortunately there are a lot of people about who are gullible.They couldnt tell you one policy but they say they will vote for them.
At least he was there, you must have noticed Nige wasnt.
So it doesnt matter that nigel cant be bothered to audit their finances (again )
We always knew that Sovile was a wrong' un. How many times did we speak out against him ? I've lost count. Mind you, I lost count when I was writing Gordon's budgets.
Why are you defending Nigel, i would really like to know. You were all hysterical when the latest rent fiasco started here, double standards.
There'll be no more fucking U turns this side of the election. Not until after tomorrow anyway.
If it walks like a duck and quacks it's probably a duck. Farage looks to me like lying shitbag.
I am led to believe"sandra in accounts" hasn't taken any annual leave for the past 12years so I suspect she may indeed be up to something.
Im afraid this subject has been taken over by UKIP staff. There is no way genuine posters on this blog would all be coming out so hysterically for UKIP, you never hear anybody in real life saying they will vote for them !
I believe he was a Liberal MP for Saddleworth for a very short period of time .
The good people of Saddleworth then decided to vote him out in favour of Phil Woolas .
Not to be outflanked by this Chris Davies got his name on one of those lists no one ever sees to become a Euro MP and you can guess the rest for yourself .
I couldnt agree more, there is something very false about Nigel, im not convinced he has the intelligence to do more than he is doing at the moment, i find myself questioning his motives. Remind me how you get rid of the EU when you are troughing there yourself !
A lot of people who glibly trot out !in voting UKIP" havent got a clue what they stand for, or what troughers its leaders are !
If only this chap got so worked up about the apparent corruption within the EU.
The Tories are scared – sh1t scared – so scared they're resorting to this.
Methinks somebody is concerned for his job so I say this to whoever Mr Davies is (sorry, never heard of you before) – goodbye.
No body seems to grasp that UKIPs rise is the most meteoric in British political history.
No body seems to grasp that UKIP are the SECOND BIGGEST PARTY in the Parliament that makes, sorry rubber stamps 80%, of British laws.
I will be voting for them and I am not staff or a member of the party.
I'm just an ordinary voter, one that is sick to the back teeth of being lied to the three main parties, in reality there's no more than a fag paper between them.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the fact that the hysterical nonsense has begun, it means UKIP are being taken seriously. As for their policies, if you presented them to the average voter they wouldn't disagree with any of them.
I'm real and alive, and I have and will in future vote for them so there!
Lots of tired UKIP cliches here. UKIP finished with this debate in the nineties :
We stand for the European Parliament because (ironically) it was the only place in which we could gain representation.
We regard the EUP as a foreign government which has been forced on us without our consent. Consequently our MEPs do not feel obliged to attend. We use the money we 'get' from our MEPs to fight our case.
The choice for us was to; behave in this way or continue to be systematically ignored by our – one party, LibLabCon, political elite – elected representatives.
They must be getting really worried about the gravy train derailing, who is he anyway?
Look at the chamber…
He's speaking to an empty house.
Don't know who the bloke is but he is correct. Farage is a joke and the fact that he is the "leader" of UK Euroscepticism sums it up really.
If Farage is allowed to be the face for the No campaign, we will lose. He is an arrogent, ranty disgrace of a politician. Even UKIP supporters tacitally agree: you all claim that you will come first in the EU elections but that you won't get a seat at the GE. Why? The Green Party has an MP; you are aknowledgeing that you are less electabe than the Greens! Pathetic.
What have UKIP done for the anti EU cause? Nothing. We get no research (of any analytical or academic note), they have not formed any alliances with other groups or outfits (thinktanks, media, unions, businesses) and they cannot articulate WHY we should leave just that we SHOULD leave.
There is a massive base of former tory actavists and members who have left the tory party over the EU and UKIP has done nothing to recruit them to the cause.
It is a shambles operating in an amateur manner and is an embarrasment for the genuine anti – EU movement who recognise that some form of plan is needed as withdrawl from the EU will be complex. What do you do with the people who live here who have come from other EU states? What happens to British nationals living in EU states? What form of bilateral trade negotiations do you intend to pursue and with who m ?- these take years to complete. Do you recognise that much of EU policy has come from the British government?-How will you reform our government? Will we need visas to visit France, how will we extradite our criminals who have fled and so on. This is a complex reationship which needs a detailed and clear plan in order to disintagle ourselves. UKIP have made no effort to present one, rather we have some random policies tacked on to the religious dogma which is that we have to leavre the EU.
There is no understanding that this issue crosses party and ideological lines: a coalition needs to be built to determine and argue WHY and HOW we can leave rather than the childish approach UKIP gives us.
You cannot convince people to go for radical reform on the basis of insulting speeches and a few pints in the pub. What a farce. You couldn't even register your London Mayor candidate properly!
I have absolute sympathy with Nigel Farage. We politicians are just too busy to properly audit our expenses. Boaz.
Yup, Guido made one or two posts on Farage and a little matter of expenses a few years ago, nothing has changed
There is something about him I cannot put my finger on it, he has that smirk beloved by a few politicos eg Osborne, Hunt, Carswell, and a few others, it's creepy and in my eyes not very trustworthy.
It's true, his mother didn't get good care *because* she was an MP's mother, she got good care *despite* the fact her son is a Microcephalic Parasite.
Not true I speak to a lot of people in real life and many are going to vote UKIP.
Nige as you call him thinks he is on the brink of hitting the big time (and big expenses)
Wearing a poppy means nothing. Cameron, Osborne, Hague, Milliband, etc. etc. are all wearing them. Not wearing a poppy is the only honorable thing to do when all the shitehawks have hijacked the symbol.
Off topic I know, but you have not commentated on the loss of jobs at UBS 5,000 split between the USA and UK, 100 already gone, what proportion of that 4,900 will go in London, at a guess London will take the biggest hit, still they could get a job at the Royal Mail parcels
Good to see that Nigel was/is employing his wife at EU taxpayers' expense – quite right too. Although at £25-30,000 per annum she is probably entitled to a rise: that is not very much by way of salary for having to put up with him.
When they verbally attack him he just smirks still it would be nice to know his expenses, but go on tell me, the EU records do not record everything
we're unlikely to feel anything adverse are we?
should we?
let us know of UBS's true losses in recent years
and we'll at least get some idea of proportion- to the bank's shareholders' capital and to the PBT
I don't give a flying fukk about your procedures and negotiations. Out first: iron out the details afterwards. That's what more and more people want.
He is trying to get noticed and make a name for himself, the point is would you trust him with your wallet, if not don't vote for him.
All I can say listen to the news over the next 3 years, when one bank goes there maybe others, I think the word is downsizing, the 100 that have gone are dealers
You Miss the Principal point.
If UKIP MEP's adopt a policy of non attendance, their other polices and irrelevant in the EU Elections.
Your post smacks of the pathetic "occupy" movement, no actual ideas, just a vague feeling that you are fed up with existing politicians. Well the news is being "fed up"means b**er all unless you have some intelligent solutions to problems. Voting for random single issue parties in a fit of pique is what caused us to have a coalition government.Saying "iron out the details later "is utter madness.FFS grow up.
Wasnt Nige in trouble a few years back with his expenses ? i wish i could remember the details. It was a lot of money, i know that. The sheep who keep saying vote UKIP wouldnt have been on the bandwagon back then.
They are better than the principles or vested interests of the other parties.
"wasnt Nigel in trouble a few years back with his expenses?"
There were one or two ukip Mps who had dodgey expenses and they were expelled from ukip as soon as it came to light.
Davies has admitted in the past to claiming for first class travel to/fro his constituency and Brussels/Strasbourg but only paying standard and then pocketing the difference. His defence? He gave it to the LibDems!
He was also convicted of drug offences at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court in 2002, together with a fellow traveller Italian MEP. Fine or prison. Davies paid the fine (ie as his employers the taxpayer did); but his Italian colleague opted for prison and spent ten days or so in HMP Strangeways for his principles.
They had both pleaded not guilty all throughout the judicial process, several court appearances to get to Crown Court for a jury trial, only to change their plea in writing the night before. His Honour Judge Fish blasted the pair for wasting the court's time which otherwise could have been spent dealing with more serious matters like child sex offences.
Davies' solicitor was Saj Karim now a Conservative MEP (although originally elected as a Liberal).
He looks like that bloke from Shameless who has had a quick visit to the market for some cheapo clobber to look smart. If he was wearing a tie, he'd look like he was in the dock.
£1650 on postage?
Is he sending food parcels worldwide?
Stationary and computer – these should be split
Needs a new accountant methinks.
Kids these days are being shafted from every angle by old farts who had it free and easy.
Their school education was fucked by Blair.
Their uni education was fucked by everyone.
Their rents are being fucked by QE, mass immigration, inflation, housing benefits and lack of house building.
Their pensions are being fucked by QE too.
And all of that is before they even manage to find themselves a fucking job.
Old farts like you had it easy.
Gee losing to Phil Woolas – must be very embarrassing for Davies.
No mate you're wrong. There's just a few ordinary people here fed up with being taxed more and more for less and less services, and seeing our country invaded on the largest scale since 1066.
If you really think UKIP are a single issue party then you have not got the intelligence required to enter a political debate.
Every new post by you shows how more desperate you have become.
Farage scaring them? I don't think so! And at least Chris Davis is polite when addressing the Parliament not like the foul mouthed attack Farage made on the President.
Vote tory, labour or libdem …
… if you want more moslems, more taxes, and less money
SPAD alert
No wonder you want to remain anonymous when you spout that tory/libdem/labour bullshit.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Put your name here and get yo ass sued off you arse-bandit.
May one just smirk at the sudden deluge of dino-politico-spads trying to diss da UKIP.
One can almost smell the fear.
Whether you spads come from tory, libdem or labour – you're all dinosaurs – you offer nothing but more taxes, more immigration and less liberty.
He seems to be saying that Mr Farage might be as corrupt as he and the rest of them are.
At least Nigel says he wants to end it.
£60000 exes in 3 years, i foolishly thought i voted for the common good when my vote went to these charlatans., i am so ashamed now. crooks, perverts and mountebanks. how the hell do we rid ourselves of these awful people
Ah – the delicious irony if it ……. UKIP MEPs taking the EU's money to fund the campaign for our country's exit from the EU!
UKIP is not a rich party, so every Euro extracted is more money to fight the good fight.
Keep at it Nigel & Co. !
The dear leader and his personally approved MEP cohorts have only one mission, trough as much as possible from the EUSSR petty cash box whilst proclaiming loudly they are England's saviours…
Me too. I joined UKIP 3 years ago and will and have voted UKIP at every opportunity.
The more they're hurting the more it's working. UKIP are getting to them.
Shine the light on three quarters of the treacherous vermin in Brussels and you will find fraudulent claims of every description.
As in the old soviet union those crimes are ignored if they are loyal to the 'cause' it's the dissenters only, who go native, that are brought to book.
There is only one way to end all this corruption and that is to do exactly what UKIP are campaigning for.
But UKIP don't go far enough.
The UK should also sue the EU for its failures, as would happen with a fraudulent private company and claim back ALL the net contributions it has made since this omnishambles began.
Take it back to the garage and demand a British flag. They are legally obliged to do this.
Yes, Ginny, B'Liar that is another one with the constant daft smile, he is not smiling so much these days, maybe he is slowly realising he is not as popular these days because he has been rumbled
In the UK that is 3300 standard second class letters, goodness only knows how many that buys 1st class, letters posted on the continentbuys even less.
So what is your real name sonny, now there's a good boy and go away and play
whatever. I am someone who wants to leave the EU but sees that we will not win a referendum if UKIP, who have shown themselves to be lazy and amateurish – you couldn't even register a candidate! – are allowed to lead the leave campaign.
I am the first anonymous, not the second.
Farage couldn't get elected in Buckinghamshire, with no competition from the three main parties. The guy was in an aeroplane on polling day rather than getting the vote out – what more evidence do you need that he is useless?
you guys keep shouting about having a referendum and how we have to leave. don't bother with planning, organization, hard work or strategy and see where it gets you.
when we lose the referendum because of lazy amaturish idiots who shout slogans and cannot counter the stay campaign (which will be well finance, organized and motivated) you will no doubt claim vote rigging or the like. perhaps you will remember that you were told that you'd have to do some work to achieve your goal and you couldn't be bothered.
it is easy to shout and scream but it is more effective to do some work.!
May be mr davies would like to comment on this. Before having a pop at Farage
Chris Davies is a rabid Europhile with an 'agenda'……say no more.
All of Westminster and Brussels are stealing from you an me daily. So nothing new here.
Paragraph one of your post is prima facie evidence of a criminal offence under section 16 Theft Act 1968 .
Why is it you can never find a policeman when you want one .
I have tried telephoning but they wont speak to me .
Have you tried phoning and telling them that when you were a very young boy Jimmy Savile put his hand down your trousers ?
There is something very strange about a man who gets in an airplane and tries to make a few shillings by placing an advertising hoarding out of the window and then crashes on the ground .
I always thought he was a greedy self seeking bastard with a chip on his shoulder .
Much less meteoric than that of the SDP, and look what happened to them
This all sounds quite reasonable having just seen Farage fail to answer even simple economic questions on The Sunday Politics. UKIP need to pull their socks up.
I've watched all Farages videos on Youtube in the parliament and have NEVER SEEN THAT BLOKE BEFORE.
Wow. This blog seems to be the home of blind "men" and distractions. How so many can believe even half of this "debate" holds any sensible ground is truly beyond me. How some seek to judge Nigel Farage by… Yes… His smile? His dress sense? I've heard hoodies standing outside The Premier shop, eagerly awaiting their fags and booze to be delivered by some pathetic excuse of a man called Jim, barely able to form a cohesive moral in his washed up brain, make better arguments against a man than some of what I'm reading here.
So… UKIPs finances havent been signed since, OMG, late 2011. Less me not forget the fact that UKIP are under no obligation to commit this material but wanted to, actually wanted to out of decency and transparency. Yes, he needs to get it sorted. But where's the hypocrisy coming from? I'll point it out. Are any of you aware that the EU has failed, FAILED, to sign off their accounts for, wait for it… 17 years. That's an aweful lot of pennies and pounds that have, for want of a better description, disappeared. This doesn't bother you? Let's just rip into Farage some more shall we… Wait, I got more.
So we look back to when a particular MP, one Dennis MacShae was it, started pointing fingers at Farage 3 odd years ago over the parties (EFD) rightful and lawful claims of expenses, which was totally in line with what everyone else in the EU parliament claims. Low and behold, one week ago MacShae steps down as MP for utterly false claims up to £19,000 which to receipts were utterly fiddled. Its getting better isn't it?
The fact so many people are using "looks" and nonsensical old news stories to discredit a man who seemingly has many credible, valid, pertinent arguments on the basis of common sense just shows a complete one sided, childish argument not worthy of an awful lot of attention.
If your all happy to continue voting as your parents did, for the same political tennis game that's dogged Britain since the turn of the 19th century, are happy to continue the dissolution of national state democracy, are happy to keep sending the publics money (some 10 Billion net, annually) to Brussels to make rules and laws which make no sense and hold no place in Britain, are happy to see our parliament and the Mps WE have VOTED for whih have not been imposed by one small group which bares more resemblance to the ruling of China and are happy for all the above and (havnt even scratched the surface) much more to continue without our say then please do as your parents did. Capitulate to national press, believe everything you hear on the BBC (because we all know how reliable that is) do what your told to do, vote the same and get the same. But history tells us that once something is gone, it's a little tricky to get it back.
The moral of my ramblings is, look at the entire picture on both sides, don't believ everything the news tells you, look beneath the surface and don't judge by looks. It makes you look like a bunch of childish muppets.

Boris on British Jihadis. Apparently based on MI5 intel:
"If you look at all the psychological profiling about bombers, they typically will look at porn. They are literally w***ers. Severe onanists. They are tortured. 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."

Through its recall power, the Consumer Product Safety Commission aims to protect Americans from unreasonable risks found in the things they buy. And when companies know about a defective product but don't tell the CPSC right away, they can end up facing millions of dollars in penalties for delaying a recall. Just ask the South Carolina go-cart manufacturer hit with the agency's largest-ever penalty. [More]
Fitbit Puts Allergen Warning Labels On Wearables
You may remember the Fitbit Force, a fitness-tracking wristband that went on the market at the end of 2013, then was eventually recalled after Consumerist brought rashes caused by the devices to the world's attention. We've heard reports that the Force's less intelligent cousin, the Flex, also caused skin irritation in some wearers. Know who else heard that? The Consumer Product Safety Commission. Fortunately for Fitbit, they're only getting a warning. Label. [More]
Meijer Agrees To Pay $2M Fine For Continued Distribution Of 12 Recalled Products
By now we should all know that once a product has been formally recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, it is illegal for a retailer to sell that item – or to distribute that item to other stores. Yet, there have been several cases in which that rule isn't followed, leading to stiff fines for the stores. The latest case involves national retailer Meijer paying $2 million in penalties for the continued distribution of 12 recalled products. [More]
Brita Recalls Hello Kitty, SpongeBob, Dora, Ninja Turtles Water Bottles Because Kids Don't Like Lacerated Lips
Taking a drink of water should be a pain-free experience – I mean it's just water, right? That might not be the case when it comes to a set of Brita's children-friendly water bottles that have the potential to create a painful situation by cutting drinkers. [More]
CPSC Finally Announces Recall Of Buckyballs, Kicking Off Refund Process
After two years of fighting the makers of Buckyballs and related Buckycubes to get the manufacturer to issue a recall of the magnetic toys that health experts say can rip through your gut if swallowed, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says it's reached a settlement with the owner of the former company, and consumers can start filing their refund requests.

Recall Of 200K Pacifiers: While A Baby With A Mustache Is Cute, It's Not Worth Choking Over
Look that baby! She's got a mustache and a tiny little beard! Isn't that just so adorable, because see, babies can't grow facial hair and also she's a girl? Sure, it might be cute, but the company behind three novelty pacifiers, Fred & Friends, has announced it's recalling 200,000 over safety concerns. Namely, that a baby could choke on some of the parts included. [More]
Buckyballs Founder Could Be Found Personally Liable For $57 Million In Refunds
Buckyballs: cute office toy, or powerful balls of magnetic doom? The inventor insists they're the former, the Consumer Product Safety Commission insists they're the latter, and the lawsuit fighting it all out just keeps getting uglier. [More]
Stinky Drywall Legislation Passes Congress––After Construction Industry Watered It Down
The Drywall Safety Act of 2012 passed Congress on New Year's Day 2013 and is currently waiting for President Obama's signature. The purpose of the bill is to keep stinky and hazardous drywall out of American homes. Simple enough. Thanks to the miracle of democracy, the bill has been watered down and gives less power to the Consumer Product Safety Commission and more to the building industry to draw up its own voluntary standards. [More]
Fisher-Price Recalls 800,000 Newborn Rock 'N Play Sleepers Seats Because They Might Be Moldy
Fisher-Price has issued a recall of about 800,000 of its Newborn Rock 'N Play Sleepers due to an insidious problem that could be growing right under customer's noses: mold.

Seized Pirate Costumes Rendered Decidedly Scarier Due To High Levels Of Lead
Attention, Halloween lovers: While you might want to be perceived as dangerous this Halloween, there are some costumes that are so dangerous they're actually harmful to your health.

The better to sink you with when you walk the plank, perhaps, but not so great for your health. [More]
Over 1 Million GE Dishwashers Recalled As Flames Shouldn't Be Part Of The Rinse Cycle
If it's too hot, sure, you need to get out of the kitchen. But it shouldn't be literally too hot because your dishwasher is on fire. To that end, GE is recalling around 1.3 million of its dishwashers due to a possibility for the heating elements to fail and cause fires. [More]
The Maker Of Buckyballs Embarks On Impassioned Campaign To "Save Our Balls" From CPSC
The maker of Buckyballs, those powerful tiny magnet desktop toys that can be harmful if swallowed, isn't going down without fighting the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Last week the CPSC convinced 11 retailers, including Amazon, to pull the toys from sale and sued Buckyballs' company, Maxfield & Oberton, to get it to stop selling them. But instead, the head of the company is embarking on a media blitz to "save our balls." [More]
Some Retailers Pull Magnetic Desktop Toy Buckyballs After CPSC Files Complaint
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has dealt a swift blow to the makers of desktop magnetic toys Buckyballs after filing an administrative complaint against them earlier this week.

We've already heard from one reader who had a Groupon deal refunded because of the CPSC's filing. [More]
Toy Manufacturers Try To Block Online Injury Report Database
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is set to launch a database in the next few weeks that tracks reports of injuries resulting from strollers and cribs. A group of children's product manufacturers are trying to coax lawmakers to stifle the database and roll back other health regulations. [More]
Don't Worry, Reselling Children's Clothing Isn't About To Become Illegal. Probably.
Reselling your kid's used clothing could soon violate federal law. Come February 10, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act will prevent retailers from selling children's products that haven't been certified as lead free. Old hand-me-downs, of course, haven't been certified for anything more than running around the yard. Parents are worried, petitions are being drawn up, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission isn't doing much to clarify the law.
Hooray! CPSC Agrees To Exempt Some Natural Items From Product Safety Act
Step back from the ledge, makers of lovingly hand-carved wooden dolls: the Consumer Product Safety Commission has lurched into action and tentatively agreed to exempt some materials and items from the lead-testing requirements in the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.

Congratulations: You've survived. Or, you haven't and are still bitterly reading a Wall Street blog. No matter. The first group of you may be 1,000 members fewer this year, but you'll be $20 billion richer by the time the last bonus checks go out.
New York securities firms will pay employees $20 billion in cash bonuses, up from $18.5 billion for 2011. The projected increase follows a steep decline of 19% for such payouts a year ago. Even so, bonuses remain about 42% below the lofty levels of 2006, when the pool totaled $34.3 billion….
The average cash bonus rose 9% to roughly $121,900. The figure increased more than the total cash bonus pool because it was shared among fewer workers than the prior year, the report said.
Employment totaled 169,700 jobs as of December 2012, 1,000 fewer jobs than in December 2011, as the securities industry shrank again In response to fearful markets and muted client activity. The report estimated that Wall Street lost 28,300 job from November 2007 to January 2010, but has added only 8,500 so far during the recovery from the global financial crisis.

"Congratulations: You've survived (more miraculous than Meriwether still having a fund) . Or, you haven't and are still bitterly writing a Wall Street blog of a much lower quality than Dealbreaker."
Well, at least now I have the time to attend the UC San Diego Conference on Transfer Pricing!
What is the point of this dull article?Its also misleading, but probably unintentional, that title talks about gaining extra cash in the form of a greater share of bonuses but article claims a (collective) gain of $20bn , with the implicit comparison being to those who got no bonus at all.
Bankers earn more with extra bonus than without, you heard it here first.

don't laugh....but my husband sat blender on stove top recently, then later turned on a burner and realized he turned on the wrong one when he smelled burning! Bottom of blender (plastic) began to melt and now is stuck to stove top. I tried the cleaner that's made for smooth top stoves but it didn't work, any other suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Your husband achieved a two-for He destroyed two appliances simultaneously. It is not going to come off. |
Wow. How about heating the plastic with a blow dryer or a heat gun until it's soft and scraping it with a plastic scraper? In a pinch, a credit card might do the trick but a scraper with an edge would do a better job. Get what you can up and use a soft abrasive cleaner (bar keepers friend) for the residual. |
I've used a razor blade window scraper to get up boiled over and burned mess. Didn't hurt the cook top. |

America's Chickens Are Coming Home To Roost
John Ruberry shared with me a blog post which highlights a salient point on the defamation of the Tea Party by the Main (Lame) Stream Media and Democrat congressmen this past week – heck - this past year.
For the record, tea partiers don't wear masks, don't chant obscenities, and when the police tell them to do something–they do it. They're quite different from the chlamydia-cluster I wrote about in two years ago.
Yes, there is a police presence at tea parties–but they concentrate on traffic control.
John and I were part of a contingent of credentialed bloggers covering – at our own expense – the 2008 RNC Convention and counter demonstrations in St. Paul. It wasn't unusual to see protesters wearing Che t shirts and bandannas obscuring their face. Real sons of liberty ready to accommodate the wishes of the MSP police gathered at the 12 Street Bridge in St.Paul:
Of course I have video of the angry mob in action:
Doesn't look like any TeaParty I've attended, perhaps it is closer in tone to recent CoffeeParty events. Note the chant 'resist, resist with your fucking fist' intermixed with the 60′s standard 'The Whole World is Watching". This was back in 2008, when Obama was encouraging his supporters to "argue with your neighbors and get in their faces" and bonding with Philly natives by observing how he would bring a gun to a knife fight – because folks in Philly like a good brawl. In 2008 and 2009, promoting violence was an effective political tool of the Democrat party, now the chickens have come home to roost.
March 2010, a wildly unpopular health care reform bill is passed despite vigorous bipartisan disapproval of the bill. Democrats now shirk from the 'bring a gun to a knife fight' bravado of the past two years and cry victim. Interestingly, every instance they've brought up as proof of right wing extremism and racism as motivators for unrest over the passage of this disastrous bill has been shown to be blatantly false.
This wasn't a tactic reserved for national Democrat efforts. Locally, I've witnessed first hand how the same violent language has lead an individual, John Meicht, to attack a female blogger who had diverging political views. John is a member of the Chester County Peace Movement who stated he was angry when he struck the videographer – twice. The director of the group, Karen Porter, feeds her followers a steady diet of racism and hate mongering of anyone who stands to the right of her. The following video is one piece of evidence of the hate spurred by Karen's words.
In fact there is more evidence to support this tactic has backfired on them on a national and local level. America's chickens are coming home to roost. Donald Douglas of American Power crafted a detailed list of violence committed by the tolerant left over the past two decades.

"The funds raised will be used to purchase additional defibrillators for our labor and delivery patients," foundation director Laurie Latham said. "We sincerely appreciate all of our supporters for 'Opening Up their Hearts and Kicking Up their Heels' and helping to make this purchase for our patients possible."

No Kaep Time this week. ESPN's Adam Schefter on #49ers QB Alex Smith (concussion): "They feel pretty good that Smith should be able to go."
— Evan Silva (@evansilva) November 14, 2012
Those of you championing for the Colin Kaepernick era to begin in San Francisco will have to wait at least one more week. Again, injuries concerning the head are prone to swings in both the positive and negative direction. Keep an eye on Smith's status as the week progresses.
His match-up this week is quite unfavourable –at home versus the Bears– so even if he is able to play, you may want to leave to Smith on the bench.

Review: Etude House Silk Scarf
I originally bought this hair treatment with the intention of doing a WTF with it because it just seemed like a wonderful find. But after reading the instructions I realized it would be pretty hard to accomplish that on camera at the studio. No shower and all! What was I thinking? Well now it's an Open The Happy find! WAHOO! There are so many neat things coming out in Korea cosmetic wise that I really want to be able to do more product reviews. I just saw a Dust Off spray or something like that at Etude House which is supposed to be able to keep off pollen and yellow dust. HRM. But this will become an expensive habit if I'm just buying stuff to try and then finding out I hate it…so luckily I didn't hate this mask! YEAH!!!
Okay, so as I mentioned in the video, I think this treatment is good for people who find that oil treatments are too heavy for their hair. I remember the first time I tried to do an intensive coconut oil hair treatment. Even with my current level of hair damage (due to everyday hair drying and the bleaching for the pink) the coconut oil was just too intense for my hair. I ended up with heavy flat hair, that looked smoooooooth but also greasy. I was like, Snape 2.0 without the scowl and magical abilities. So I wasn't like Snape at all. But I wish I was like Snape 'cause he has some serious eye stare abilities. And he's a wizard. Okay, focus Martina, focus.
So yes, those of you with fine wimpy hair like me, or those of you with just normal – not great hair damage, I think this mask would be great. I left it in longer than 15 minutes out of pure neglect because I was watching a TV show, but it didn't seem to cause any problems. I also tossed the hair dryer on my hair while under the cap because I also find heat and hair treatments to go hand in hand. Who knows if it helped out? All I know is I usually can't brush through my hair after a shower if I don't super duper condition it. Since this hair mask was the only product I put in my hair after shampooing, I was very hesitant. I actually considered adding conditioner to my hair after I rinsed out the mask but in the end thought that wouldn't be a very fair test. So science fair project of me, right? Just picture a colourful poster board below.
Project Title: Will The Hair Mask Suck?
My Hypothesis: the hair mask will suck.
Testing My Hypothesis: use the hair mask.
Conclusion: the hair mask did not suck.
A++ right there people! I'll even include some diagrams of me ripping the mask open. I'll even demonstrate my hair washing abilities with a barbie doll in a bathing suit and a mini shower equipped with real water through a squeeze tube. This is getting out of control. I just really liked science fair projects and was very good at them. Kindof want to enter a science fair project again now…
OKAY so that's my story! Anyone else use this hair mask and have anything to say about it? Do you guise know my feel about oils being too heavy for your hair or do you have think and supple hair that can take it? My hair is SO fine that even gel and hairspray can murder the curl out of my hair. Hours of hair curling murdered by one bad spray.
Also, we're publishing this now because our Music Monday is going to be a bit delayed, as some people might already know. It'll be out tomorrow early afternoon. We didn't want today to be totally empty, though, so hopefully you're ok with this video. And, if you like it, you can always subscribe for more, you know?

Try a dry shampoo (http://www.totalbeauty.com/content/gallery/best-worst-dry-shampoo) or when you do wash your hair in the shower, use a little bit of baking soda. You put a small amount of the product in your hand dry, then add a few drops of water to make a paste. Then rub it into your scalp. Then another small amount, blah blah blah, until you have enough to give a coating on your scalp. Scrub it in like you would if you were using shampoo. Rinse, then you're suppose to use an apple cider vinegar/water rinse to the ENDS of the hair. I have super oily hair and found this helps keep down the damage and also i don't have to wash so often. This is a trial and error thing but using less is better, you can always add more ;) I like this because it's cheap, or at least cheap in North America….
Hopefully you'll find something to help out your hair. Girls' hair is important to us!
Wow, Martina! I always love your makeup but I think you look even more beautiful without it! You actually remind me a lot of Scarlett Johansson suddenly – the face shape, cheekbones, and eyes. I swear! Very jealous.
I've used this as well and I found it didn't do very good for me.
Plus I found it very inconvenient to have to STOP Your shower and dry your hair and then use this. Did not like that aspect.
I, also, have super thick hair that is half coarse half smooth (kind of does it's own, wild crazy curly, maybe wavy, i'm not sure) thing that is really annoying.
However! I have found that the argan seed oil treatment that Etude house sells actually works VERY well for my hair (not the scalp unfortunately, but the hair it works wonders on) and it smells very good too.
To keep my color vibrant I only wash my hair once every 5 to 8 days (i know, gross, to some people, and others are like 'wtf how!?' but it took about a year of training my hair to be able to do this. Also my hair is naturally VERY dry. hair and scalp. So even by the end I'm not very greasy. Just the bangs–anyway) . Only wash every 5 to 8 days and maybe every other week I will use the mask/treatment. If I use it two weeks in a row my hair gets TOO soft and feels like it's going to break any second. (did that once, didn't like it).I have also tried a lot of other Korean brand shampoos and conditions. ^^ I have a super dry scalp that itches and flakes (it's not dandruff, just dry scalp) and I have found that Innisfree's Jeju green tea shampoo and condintioner while it SMELLS very good… Just made the itchy-ness worse.
OnL! (i think is the brand?) had some Red Gingsing intense moisture shampoo and conditioner treatment on sale.. Tried that. Works all right, but it smells like .. Earth? Dirt? when I use it.
Lastly. The best shampoo I have found is actually Very Berry (i think?) from Tony Moly. Their hair dye also works very well! best red I have found yet.Anyway~! I wanted to add this too: Martina, it feels like you're slowly, slowly, slowly making more and more of your hair pink lol. In a few years will it just all be pink? ^^
So are you saying it may not be a great product for thick hair? because I have insanely thick hair and dye my hair pretty often :/
I have yet to try a hair mask, as my hair sounds a lot like yours, Martina! So hard to manage with the thininess ._. *le sigh*. I love chocolate strawberry face masks though :D
Yo Simon! I heard you're playing Lightning Returns. Caius should be your last boss battle until the end, so you should go finish all the other main missions as well as a lot of side quests. You shouldn't fight him until your magic is over 900 and your strength is at least over 800. I fought him when my strongest magic schemata was around 1300 and my strongest strength was like 1000, and he was a chew toy for me! Hope that helps :D
…… Um….. PLEASE TRY LUSH PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bleach and dye my hair blue ALL of the time and I have that fine, stick straight hair as well and let me tell you, without LUSH I would have hair like hay. Try it Martina. Try it. Just do it already. Please.
Thank you for doing this review/demo! I would love to see more like this :)
Aaah! Whenever Martina tries out a beauty product I get the urge to try it too. But alas, Etude House only exists in Korea :P
i was wondering in the world of youtube and i end up in the weird side yet again HOWEVER i found a quite awesome + weird + funny + i don't know what the hell i'm watching mv its japanese doe xD so yeah i wanted to share it.
Umm……*tries to find words*…….*fails miserably*…….
Thank you? -
i just watched it to the end-
thanks for sharing!!!!!!! =^-^= -
*silently watches the video*
I…I.. I approve the cause of this fight! *aggressively plays rock paper scissors* *w*Thanks for sharing~! ^^
I love your open the happy videos ^^ I'm really sick today and this video made me smile (: especially the ninja escape attempts and funny sound effects (love the editing and sound in your videos~) Thank you guys! I hope Meemers is doing well!
Argan oil also works miracles for the hair! It's a bit pricey, but definitely worth it! It saved my hair after dyeing the tips blue :D
this was hilarious. it made my day! :))
This was the cutest video I have seen in a long time. Holy smokes, you guys >3<
On my part I really love using Lush's haire treatments. I use the Jasmine & henna fluff eaze. It makes my hair soooo soft, shiny and control my curls, waves, straight hair (because it seems like my head can't decide what it wants). And the smell. . . I love it ! my hair smell jasmine for daaaays <3. I guess the Marilyn hair treatment for blonds would be a fit for you :P
My mother is a professional hair stylist and she always put the client under the dryer for about 30 minutes while conditioning or doing a protein treatment. Also DON'T RINSE YOUR HAIR WITH HOT OR WARM WATER IT WILL STRIP THE CONDITIONER instead use cold or lukewarm it will fuse the conditioner.
Im from texas, the heat and humidity alone kill my hair. I have yet to find any good hair treatments, glad you were able to find one that works for you. Sending good vibes to meemers, cant wait to hear more news about him…Go Meemers!!!!
use an oil treatment (coconut oil, hot oil, whatever) overnight and in the morning wash your hair with either clarifying shampoo or if you don't have one (anyone who regularly uses hair products should tho!) wash your hair twice with your current shampoo! follow with a very light conditioner (or possibly none at all depending on how it is!) depending how fast your hair gets oily you may have to wash it again as soon as the following morning to get the last of the oilyness from the treatment out but you still get the benefits :3 nature republic has an aloe gel (for like 4,000won) that i like to use on my scalp when it's acting up! just pure coconut oil is also great! also mixing raw egg, mayo, and honey together is a really intense treatment! tho egg alone will do the trick :3 adding a mushed banana can be great too but it is notoriously annoying to get out haha
but since you've recently dyed your hair i would suggest trying an egg treatment! :3
since you guys film like everyday it may be difficult, but even going on like a 3 day binge of hair treatments (even if it's just coconut oil) will make a huuuuuge difference! :3
there's tons of other natural remedies to scour on youtube where the ingredients are easy to find at the local supermarket~ i don't trust treatments from stores tbh, unless they cost a pretty penny (like salon quality)! but i'm also kind of a hair snob so :l haha -
Hello! I tried that mask a month ago. My hair is super dry and even damaged so when I bought this I thought it will become healthier. So I put this mask on my head (which smells sooooooooo good) and when I removed it my hair was soft and shiny. BUT it doesn't last forever… 1 week later it was again damaged and dry. I think you need to use this at least once a week to have really good results.
I really want to know what the idols us for their hair.. Especially Snsd, it's always really shiny. And I want to know what kind of extensions CL and Bom use..

One of the things I really look forward to each summer is our grandchildren's vacation away from their parents.

Q: Our 12-year-old daughter seems driven to run in circles. For years now, every day, often many times a day, she suddenly will start jogging in a big circle around the family room or anywhere else in the house when the urge strikes. She stops when one of us tells her to stop, but a bit later she's off again. We've sent her outside to run many times, but that doesn't help either. While this may sound like a minor problem, it is so strange and it's most certainly driving us nuts. Help!
August is National Breastfeeding Month, and it's interesting to note that breastfeeding once again is spiking in popularity among new moms as the preferred method of feeding their newborn babies. More than half of all new mothers now breastfeed their babies because they understand why it is so important.

The holidays are meant to be a time of joy, renewal and togetherness. However, in the relations between people, there also can be less-than-positive interactions - even jealousy and anger. Sometimes, we don't take very good care of each other or ourselves.

There are a few things that I always look forward to during the holiday season. Getting together with family is the first.
The holidays are a time of overindulgence. People often eat way too much, and frequently their pets are right there beside them.
One of the easiest, least expensive ways to stay healthy often is one of the most overlooked. Avoiding the common cold - or worse, the flu - can be as easy as washing your hands.

Amelia Freidline, Fresh TakeThe Center for Science in the Public Interest, Washington, D.C., recently released a study saying 97% of kids' meals at major restaurant chains it surveyed failed to meet governmental nutrition guidelines.
The same day, chicken chain KFC rolled out its Li'l Bucket, a revamped kids' meal styled after the company's iconic bucket packaging.
The default options in the Li'l Bucket, which KFC dubbed the "thinking mom's kids' meal," are a grilled chicken drumstick, green beans, a Capri Sun Roarin' Water drink pouch and a GoGo squeeZ applesauce pouch. That meal clocks in at 210 calories, considerably below the 430 calories the CSPI cites as the expert nutrition standard for kids' meals.
So KFC's move should have met with applause, or at least an "E for effort," right?
Well, not so fast.
Coverage of the launch by major news outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times was fairly even-handed, pointing out the fast-food industry's conundrum of balancing healthy options for children with foods kids like to eat. The Journal said the most commonly ordered KFC kids' side items were macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes, which are also options in the Li'l Bucket.
Regarding entree options, the Journal quotes KFC senior director of marketing Cynthia Koplos' take on the grilled chicken leg: "My guess is it will probably not be the No. 1 choice."
The other three entree options are breaded or fried, a fact that foodie website Eater jumped on with a vengeance.
"Of course, representatives from the company that brought such culinary innovations as the Double Down and the Cheesy Bacon Bowl are concerned about providing healthy meals for America's youth," snarks Eater writer Hillary Dixler.
"To that end, one of four chicken choices in the Li'l Bucket is not fried and one of the three options for sides is a non-starch."

The author, presently a counsellor with "Insight for Living," is best known for his work The Minister's Library. To his prolific list of books he here he adds fifteen readable chapters expounding the whole book of Judges. His exposition displays the high relevance of Judges to Christian life today, showing that present problems were problems in Israel, too`problems such as depression, lukewarmness, idol worship, homosexuality, rape, etc. He directs attention to spiritual solutions for these both in the days of the Judges and now.
"Many see Judges as a dismal record of Israel's failure, but to me it illustrates God's power, a message both timely and relevant" (p. 9). God's Spirit, operating through ordinary men and women, can accomplish the will of God. The work's introduction discusses various views of Judges' theme and concludes it is the power of God displayed through His representatives (p. 24). Barber gears his book for Christian lay people, not scholars or seminarians (p. 9).
Spiritual lessons are plentiful throughout, and aptly worded headings in bold-faced print mark out subdivisions. Short paragraphs carry the reader's thought through the text quickly. Frequent illustrations spice the content. For example, Pogo the cartoon character returns from a battle saying, "We have met the enemy and he is us" (p. 53). A line at the bottom of each page shows the exact verses dealt with on that page. Barber weaves in timely quotes from other sources.
Graphic sections depict Othniel, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson. Along with Gideon's faith, commitment, and perseverance, Barber is quite candid about the ephod marring his later years (p. 108). He favors the view that Jephthah gave his daughter over to perpetual virginity (pp. 149-50), but his reasons for doing so are sometimes rather arbitrary and not difficult to answer for those who hold the popular view that Jephthah gave the girl as a burnt offering (cf. among evangelicals, J. J. Davis, Conquest and Crisis [Grand Rapids: Baker, 1969] 124-28; F. D. Lindsey, "Judges," in Bible Knowledge Commentary [Wheaton: Victor, 1983] 1:402). A better balance in supporting both views would strengthen the book here. It seems arbitrary to argue, as Barber does, "It is difficult to imagine the Holy Spirit using Jephthah [a man who sacrificed his daughter] as an example of faith if his act was so contrary to God's revealed will" (p. 150). What, then, of other characters who are noted for faith in Hebrews 11, but who also failed miserably at times?
Some will also feel uncomfortable with the book's attempt to bring Samson into a good light, even in cases of possible sexual impropriety (pp. 155-56). An example is Samson's relations with the woman from Timnah, where Barber stresses Samson's good design to bring peace between the Philistines and Israel (pp. 170-74). Here, Barber sees a Sid=i q=a marriage arranged between the groom and the bride's family. Barber does not condone Samson's immoral conduct with the prostitute at Gaza, but many will not agree that Samson was not motivated by lust (p. 199), but by a desire to ravish her to show his power in defying the enemy. Barber likens this to Absalom's show of authority over David by going in to David's palace concubines in 2 Samuel 15-17. A more balanced view is that Samson was lustful, even if the power factor was present (cf. the recognition of lust by Davis, Conquest 138; Paul Enns, Judges [Zondervan] 111; Leon Wood, Distressing Days of the Judges [Zondervan] 325-28).
The section on Samson includes much that is helpful. Barber is sensitive to many areas readers want discussed. No writer covers everything because of space limitations. Still, one could wish that the book offered some explanation for how Samson may have caught and managed three hundred foxes to send on a fiery mission through Philistine fields (p. 185).
Barber sees as reprehensible and unconscionable the Levite's act in submitting his wife to the men of Gibeah for a night of using her for sexual pleasure (p. 227).
Many fine discussions popularly written help the book offset the few places of possible disagreement. Overall it has much to stimulate and benefit preachers, Bible study leaders, and Christians in general who appreciate the colorful tracing of a passage's flow. Barber's endnotes for each chapter reflect his use of good sources. A Scripture index and a person/title index are also beneficial.

Irvine, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/30/2014 -- Dr Sam Mogari DDS, leading dentist and owner of the Langley Dental Practice in Middleton, Manchester, was speaking recently about oral health in middle-aged men. He has been a practising dentist for over 25 years so he has a wealth of experience treating patients of all ages. He was speaking about recently published research which highlights the increased risk of gum disease amongst middle-aged men.
Dr Sam Mogari DDS is the Clinical Lead Dentist for the Irvine Smile Design In California. As a leading expert in the field of dental medicine, he values research as a method of improving dental treatments and dental patient care. He said, "Research is essential in order to identify areas of improvement and the potential of new treatments in dental medicine. Recently published research reveals that non-active middle-aged men could be at increased risk of developing gum disease."
Dr Sam Mogari DDS, a leading dentist, believes research and development in dental medicine is vital in order to continue effectively treating patients. He was speaking in reference to a recently published article in Denistry Today website. The article can be read in full here.
Dr Sam Mogari DDS, leading dentist and teacher of dental medicine, went on to say, "Middle-aged men who have a sedentary lifestyle and do not engage in regular exercise could be at increased risk of developing gum disease, the research says. Researchers from The Hanover Medical School, Germany, analyzed information from a sample of 72 men who did not engage in sport or have an active lifestyle. The results indicated that they were at much higher risk of developing gum disease, and other oral health issues, than their younger more active counterparts."
Dr Sam Mogari DDS, renowned dentist, went on to say, "We already understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet, and regular exercise. This combination can improve health and prevent the development of serious illnesses like, heart disease, diabetes, and many cancers. Understanding the effects of lifestyle on our oral health is equally important so I welcome this latest research."
Dentist Dr Sam Mogari DDS continued by saying, "The report revealed that men with a low BMI and a healthy lifestyle had a 40% lower risk of developing gum disease. This is a significant drop in risk. It is clear that work is required to ensure men in their middle age are informed of the risks to their health if they are not active or living a healthy lifestyle. I will be sharing this news with patients as appropriate. I believe we need to inform the general public about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise, a good diet, and an active life will keep our bodies strong and healthy, and this includes oral health. Just by eating healthily, maintaining good oral health, and by attending the dentist regularly for check-ups, patients can dramatically reduce their risks of developing serious oral problems like tooth decay, tooth loss, gum disease or mouth cancers."
All dental patients who are interested in learning more about the benefits of implant supported dentures are advised to call Irvine Dentist Dr Sam Mogari D.D.S office. Not all patients are good candidates for dental implant surgery in Irvine CA, so an appointment is required to see if you meet the requirements for implant supported dentures.
"We do offer conscious sedation and general anesthesia services for those with high anxiety, extensive treatment, disabilities, or just for the convenience. We use a highly experienced dental anesthesiologist."

Nero DiscSpeed 4 Continued
CPU load is considerably low for Blu-ray media and the ASUS offering continues to keep it low on our DVD when compared to the Pioneer DVR-212BK.
Spin down times are similar between the two drives using our DVD but it's interesting to see that the Blu-ray disks manage to spin down the fastest.
We see that the Pioneer DVD-only drive manages to cut the load time down by a few seconds but we again see that Blu-ray load times are quite low.

Shock Doctor Teen Ultra Supporter with UC Cup
Comfortable fit
I purchased this for my son and it was the first time he had to wear one for football. He said "it's like it's not even there".

great cup
I got this teen cup because I had outgrown my old one, and this one looked cool. I am 13, and this cup is super comfortable and protects the parts it is supposed to. I am a catcher, so wearing a cup is mandatory, but I don't even realize I have this one on, which makes it great for games. The first time wearing it, I got hit there with the baseball, but didn't get hurt. It's a great cup!!

Comfiest supporter ever!
Nice to have one that is actually comfortable and not annoying, chafing or irritating in any way! Will definitely purchase this again when the time comes to replace.
