+ + + Sky: Purnell Standing Down at GE + + +
Update 10.47: Seems this was shock even to his own constituency office: "trying to find out what going on! i was with him last night, he was talking about the rest of campaign.. odd"

Shame – at least he did the right thing and stood down – shame the others didn't follow him.
Well at least he will have plenty of time to clean his flat.
Ed Balls will be pleased. Unless of course, he has his own Portillo moment…
All the blairites are standing down that just leaves the brown nosers.
System slow today Guido. You sure Mossad aren't tampering with your site?
The Blairites jump, so that Labour in opposition have no-one even half-sane to lead them? Oh happy days… now if Cameron could stop trying to impersonate Heath, I'd be a happy boy!
Purnell dropped his resignation the day before Labour's election launch and after Browns big speech today. The Boy has immaculate timing.
A coward, jumping ship before he is pushed by the electorate. Shameless!
It'll never happen whilst he has the Postal Vote on his side.
He probably just to get on the job market ahead of the rush.
He probably just wants to get on the job market ahead of the rush. Not totally stupid then.
Once less New Labour piggy. Now how about people like Jacqui Smith standing down, now she has all the taxpayers money?
Perfect timing, I just hope that he has the decency to stab Brown in the front.
Bang on for timing.
Then we can get the Bully Boy Brown story out over the weekend.
Can thunder thighs window dresser wot's her name resign at 5.15pm again?
Why not get a badge made for everyone to wear – "I ducked the Nokia and survived".
This is weird, 2 supposedly Labour safe seats with majorities of 7910 for Walsall Sth and Purnells majority of 8500 both quit 2 days in succession, what are we missing here? Is Labour internal polling so bad that these guys are running away.
Seems weird 1 day before an election launch, you have 2 labour mps running off for no reason in moderatley winnable or non target seats.
In Purnell's case the clue is in the election launch. Bruce George has stood down to precipitate an AWS to prevent a local Asian man from being slected.
"The former cabinet minister, James Purnell, is on the romantic wing too. Purnell has become one of the country's most stimulating politicians because he dares to surprise sometimes in a stifling, cautious political world where the unexpected does not happen very often."
Unexpected now, Steve?
I've just written to the Israeli Ambassador in the UK asking for a price list to renew my British Passport. If they can give me one cheaper than the UK Passport service, I will buy it.
Expecting a no fun reply, but suggest we all do the same to wind them up.
He used to take a dump in his kitchen sink and there is a picture in the Guido archive to prove it.
I say again and again – Labour know from their private polling that they are facing complete,utter,total and unbelievable meltdown at the ballot box.
Every time they try and put their flag in the ground,slong comes another statistic to knock them for 6;
0.1% growth
21,000 new benefits claimants
Economy worse than Greece
Retail sales down 1.8% – largest ever dip
January borrowing worst on record in a month when they have never had to previously borrow.
The cancer that is coursing through the country is now making the body smell and bleed.
Brown cannot control it and he can only make more ridiculous statements.
Expect him to get worse as the evidence of the reality of the mess keeps piling up.
Majority of 8,348, it would take 12% swing to remove him; so maybe he figures best to jump ship & get a real job but who knows… if he doesn't feel safe with that majority then the inside polling/story must be grim or maybe he has no stomach for the inevitable bloodletting that will follow…:)
Look back in anger:) James Purnell MP, Stalybridge & Hyde (TheyWorkForYou.com) http://bit.ly/bITQG6
That's great news
I'm going to get well fucked by stella tonight, just bought 2 cases of it.
so much for Purnell's trust in Richards, feed him some crumbs but saves the big treat for afters.
ho, ho, ho, ho.
I wonder if there be some more resignations later today.
Purnell is going to make an attack on Brown over the weekend – the presses are being prepared.
Brown to go by the end of next week.
The only surprising thing about Purnell is the filthy state he left my flat in.
The deposit came nowhere near the cost I incurred cleaning it up after the dirty bugger left.
It was like a bloody pig sty. He even shat in the sink for Christ sake!
Got up this morning and found comment on economy delted , whats goin on fawkes ?
I suspect that the private polling of marginals particularly in the West Midlands is pretty dire for Brown & Labour.
That's why he's launching his campaign from Coventry on Saturday(?). Labour have taken some pretty big hits locally on unemployment increases and over the "botched" Cadbury's jobs guarantee by Mandelson which has been proved to be even less enduring than a Cadbury's Flake in a heat wave.That's ignoring the subsequent closures/job losses/increases in youth unemployment/jobseeker claimants in the region which are a daily feature of local news bulletins
I'll be next one to go.
Politics is hacking me right off
My wife wanted one of them new bum bags, I had to shop around but i found a blue ikea bag that covered one cheek .
You wish there will be no brown out the labour party are too weak to get rid of that Hunt
"trying to find out what going on! i was with him last night, he was talking about the rest of campaign.. odd"
Downing Street have released dirt on him to the Sundays perhaps? They have a lot of previous in this area.
Wind up Mossad?
I wait for the news that a Mr.Purpeline has assasinated an arab leader.
Didn't Brown say he was going to Brum?
Curry houses blighted by exploding tandoors
Health and Safety officers have issued a warning to the curry houses of Birmingham after a spate of injuries caused by exploding tandoori ovens.
If Purnell is followed by a couple more MPs, it would really stiich Brown up.
How could he claim to have a united party? The headlines for Brown would be even more grim.
Go on, go on, you know you want to. Stitch the Hunt up.
Dabbling in gemstones too?
Fraser Nelson over at The Speccie will be heartbroken…
If James was joining any other party, all he had to do was cross the House. Something is up and it could be the dissolution of the House of Labour into it's tribal groupings.
It is not possible to wind up Mossad. They have no sense of humour or else they would realise how ridiculous they are.
I mean, look at those syrups FFS.
Well done Jimmy – immaculate timing too, just before the election campaign launch :-)
Mothball production will increase under Labour! They have a new plant in Teeside.
Hmm. Lots of tough talk but then turns into a blubbering crybaby. Hey, that reminds me…
I wonder what NICE LITTLE EARNER he has lined up?? No dole queue for him methinks!
and watch him get tasered by the cops at a baseball match.
My target is some Hunt that sits in his underpants calling people Hunts. Off to Coventry with me Passport application hopefully
Purnell standing down? Symptom of more rifts in the Liebore party, methinks – especially given the timing.
On an unrelated topic, more common sense from Jeff Randall in the Telegraph, quoting even more sense from Churchill.
The Conservatives have been fucked yet again at local council elections and they will be at the General Election
Labour gained two seats from the Liberal Democrats in the latest council by-elections with just 15 weeks at most before Gordon Brown's date with destiny.
However there was also good news for the Lib Dems after victory in a west country Tory stronghold
Another good man gone. Time to go after Brown in every way possible. I'm doing my own bit with myLabourposters Unleashed at http://jontomes.typepad.com/blog/
Breaking on Dales Diary
McBust called to face Chilcot 4/5 March so March 25th date is on(?) as if he calls for dissolution 1 March he will be regrettably unable to attend due to prejuding election
James would not wish to join a bunch of losers going under the name of the Conservative Party
Or even prejudicing(bloody keyboard)
They'd better put the fire out in the blast furnace first, or the smell of burning mothballs will anaesthetise any remaining Labour voters around Teesside.
Well he certainly won't be launching it from Teesside.
Another 1,600 direct steel jobs going today and the supply chain will add another >4,000. How many mortgages andrepossessions will that mean?
British dole for British workers!!
That's over a quarter of the PLP who are leaving the sinking ship. Do they know something we don't?
Made my fucking day. This careerist creep, emblematic of the good for fuck all political class has never known a day`s honest in his life, merely sliming his way up the greasy pole.
It was brilliant to see the twat resign last year in anticipation that he`d precipitate a coup against McBirdbrain only for the rest of them to bottle it and instead of him ending up as Home Secretary under Miliband he was on the back benches.
Am entertaining the delicious thought Purnell will end up in the Jobcentres of which he was once overlord but no; his networking skills have no doubt landed him a lucrative chair polishing position in quango land, very likely as Mr Expat suggests working for the Tories. He won`t be the last one on the U boat to Argentina: Mandelson`s probably already positioning himself.
Can you put up a pic of Stinkies kitchen Guido ?
It always cheers me up and makes me feel less guilty about not doing the washing up.
None of this is being reported on Radio 5 mind, instead all they can do is get the fat queen Nolan (is he really one of the Nolan sisters by the way?) to spout on about how the Tories are boycotting Liebour's plan to save the elderly (by taxing them even more)
That's 1/4 who are leaving voluntarily and another 50% who will be leaving at the behest of the voters. There's going to be fuck all of the imbeciles left at this rate.
But while there is a single Labour MP re-elected who served in this government of all the imbeciles then it is one imbecile too many.
Radio 5 presenters will be able to afford clever accountants who will get them out of paying the new Death Duty for the Rest of Us. So why would they care?
I wonder how many of the Labour MPs about to leave Parliament would come back if Gordon were to do the decent thing & stand down as Leader after the disastrous election defeat…. just shows that the cowards should have fought him together but they didn't dare. Go Gordon go. ABGB.co.uk
We are unable to confirm or deny rumours that George Osborne will resign this week-end !!!
We are able to confirm that he is a economic clown
More than 60 leading economists backed Chancellor Alistair Darling today over his decision to delay spending cuts until next year.
In two letters to the Financial Times, they said it could be "positively dangerous" to begin cuts – as the Tories are planning – and would risk tipping the economy back into recession.
The letters are a direct riposte to a letter sent to The Sunday Times by a group of 20 leading economists urging more rapid action to tackle Britain's £178 billion deficit.

More problems for the Chief Hoon, Boris Johnson
The Fire Brigades Union is calling on London Mayor Boris Johnson to fire the vice chairman of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, Councillor Bertha Joseph.
Ms Joseph was suspended as a Brent councillor, and her appeal against suspension was rejected last week.
Her six month suspension – the longest the Standards Committee can impose – came after she allegedly used charitable donations to buy herself ball gowns. She was also ordered to repay £200.
She will not be able to perform council duties until the end of the suspension period, including constituency work and any formal business of the
FBU executive member for London Ian Leahair is writing today to Mayor Johnson, who alone has the power to remove her.
Mr Leahair said today: "This councillor, mired in sleaze, is considered unfit to sit on Brent Council.
"Yet Mayor Johnson apparently thinks she is perfectly fit to have a key role in running London's fire service. The Mayor must have a very low opinion of firefighters and the fire service.
Resigning never works old chap, just look what happened to me!
Bruce George (who?) in Walsall South will be 68 in June.
Presumably he wants to take his payoff and retire in the style he's been used to.
On the other hand there are about 2,000,000 micro-economists who have to manage small budgets on a monthly basis who endorse the fact that Gordon Brown's Chancellorship and unelected premiership has truly screwed the country and that neither he or his sink rat Darling have the slightest clue how to fix it.
60 leading economists?
Can any one of these useless c*nts point to the letter they all wrote and signed back in 2001 warning Brown not to employ one million non-jobbers on insane salaries and advising him that house prices were going up by 15 – 20% a ear and he'd better put up interest rates or the economy would go down the shitter?
60 leading economists?
I have shit better economists.
A smelter of discontent…
How bad will it get? Brown is worse than his mentor Sunny Jim.
Socialism, lest we forget.
They're not trying to fix it. They're still trying to cover up their incompetence that got us into this fix. It is their failure to admit they fucked up and the massive 500bn quid cost of the cover-up that is going to fuck us over far more than putting their hands up back in 2007 and changing tack.
We have just marched three years down totally the wrong path just because Brown and his imbecile government cannot admit they fucked up and that we need to change the plan.
Arseholes. Incompetent, mendacious, scum-sucking fuckwitted arseholes.

All good reasons to shoe horn the election in on March 25th ahead of a budget…..
I love the small of napalm in the morning – it reminds me of Middlebrough!
Nobody gives a shit about this no-mark from the FBU any more than that troughing tart from Brent.
A 'key-role' in running the Fire service? What's to know? Plug in the post code on your SAT-NAV. Drive to the fire. Put the fucking thing out.
How much will Corus get in CO2 reduction credits for this?
Carbon trading, you know it's a con.
Mossad Direct? Is that some sort of tennis clothing catalogue?
It's the right thing to poo.
You'll be able to watch me on BBC Parliament then!
The only economist I'm interested in is one who will give me a decent return on the few bob I have in the building society. I'm talking a minimum of 5% here, preferably more.
Is this why Brown and the p aedo cabal want children to have laptops at home:
We designed the Carbon Trading Scheme with our good friend Al Gore and we deeply resemble that remark.

Right ! I'd rather stay here with the Liebour Party winners…..
…"trying to find out what going on! i was with him last night, he was talking about the rest of campaign.. odd…"
Very odd. What has been uncovered and likely to be used against him in the campaign? We know what sick minds many of those at the top of politics have. What was about to break in this case?
O/T….Can you imagine the outcry if Laura Bush had visited a school somewhere in Africa where whites made up say 10% of the total population,and Laura had swooped down hugging all the white kids in the school audience ignoring the blacks?Can you imagine what would have been said if she then invited 10 white kids from that school in an African country back to the White House.There would have been an absolute outcry.So why is is alright for Michelle Obama to invite black kids from Islington to visit her in Washington. Laura Bush would have been called a raciist but good ol' Michelle can do no wrong. This is absolute outright racism.Apparently they had a competition for the best essays and these kids supposedly won the competition,the prize was a trip to Washington to meet Mrs Obama.Well,if you are black in London you get extra help from the EMAG (Ethic Minority Achievement Grant) YOU are all paying for it but only blacks need apply.There is extra tuition etc etc…….. I know that poor white kids in areas of London have a really bad time at school. My mother who is not known for her incisive political analysis (well she is rather ancient) also noticed that Mrs Obama was favouring black kids. It's bloody outrageous.How can she bring herself to sleep with a half white man? It must be very very difficult.

Shame that those who share the Blairite philosophy are all moving into and taking over the tory party from within now.
This will not make the labour party any more electable, but if they excrete the Blairite, "new-labour" poison from their party, they may become a party that is honest and can stand for a principled position on something. Unfortunately for them and their supporters that thing will be socialism, a regularly tried and failed philosophy.
But at least they could openly and honestly argue a case for something they actually mean for once.
Try moneysupermarket.com Lots of accounts paying 5% for 5 year bonds or NS&I paying Index-linked+1%.
What does Cameron do all day? Why is he so nice and timid?
It seems people prefer liars and bullies!
Just an observation.
This is excellent news, the more anti modernisation, anti Anglo Saxon, anti aspiration, anti prudence, high tax leftists in Government and the PLP, the better I say.
But I am a bit mental
It wasn't me – I had that Mark Oaten round my place.
Knew it was a mistake. Now Fatso McDoom is going to splash it all over the newspapers, which is what I asked Mark to do in the first place.
That Exlax – so unreliable>
But these pseudo socialists have one rule for them and another for everyone else. We see it every day with the labour party and Brown.
They are very confused, screwed up people who live in denial. They all need help. Brown, Obama – the whole bleedin lot of them.
Faked photograph
In September 2007, a photograph of James Purnell was faked and released by the press office at Tameside General Hospital as part of a press release for the Tameside Hospital Private Finance Initiative (PFI) rebuilding deal.[3] The Tameside Trust claimed that Purnell agreed to the amalgamation of the two photographs,[4] as he was late for the original photo call, but Purnell denied this. Another Labour MP, Tom Levitt, present for the photoshoot stated that he and other Labour MPs deliberately left a gap for Purnell when the original photograph was taken, knowing that Purnell's image would be superimposed onto their photograph. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Purnell
Forgive me. Who is this Purnell chap?
What has Purnell ever achieved?
Replies welcome.
Keynesians and socialists to a man (and woman).
Labour supporters sound like they are anaesthetised already. Every time they talk politics I cannot help but think that they are in a dreamworld.
Achieve ??Achieve ?? They ACCRETE.
Lab MPs don't achieve anything. They just accrete wealth.
McShiteGob doesn't do reality, hasn't done so since he was rector of some totally useless Uni in McLand where he spent his time bouncing rent cheques.
MY economist is BIGGER than your economist ——- so there !!!!
No doubt he is about to be exposed for fraud and financial shennigans
Never trust any man with bushy sideburns who isnt in a 1970s sitcom
Oh and sexual perversity
So its lobbying and blackmail as Jimmys new career choice
"How much will Corus get in CO2 reduction credits for this?"
I believe the figure is in the region of £200 mil.
Oh yes and to maintain production levels, they are building a replacement plant in India with loans from British Banks and grants from the EU and Indian governments.
Stangely I can see no mention of any of this in the MSM or the BBC. All I have heard today, is some cockwaffle about falling demand worldwide and a drop in steel production, due to the recession.
Jobs created abroad and paid for by the EU and British Government via the AGW de-industrialisation program, while British workers are thrown onto the scapheap these bastards continue to lie about the dangers of CO2.
To paraphrase another rotten regime from another elitist age, "let them eat carbon credits".
What about Diversity? Recruiting disabled firepersons? Solidarity with Cuban Firepersons etc…
Times says he can see which way the election is going and wants out.
Say 'Tata' to all those jobs – yet more manufacturing lost because Labour have cosied up to their corrupt subcontinental friends.
I wonder how many steelworkers will relish being retrained as LGBT outreach facilitation coordinators?
And you can't mothball a blast furnace – once it's cooled down, the lining is fucked and you have to rebuild it.
Coming to Sky3 soon – "James Purnell Waltzing with Mathilda "- Ex Cabinet Minister James Purnell goes on a terribly long railway journey through Australia in a sort of amusing kind of blokey manner- meeeting all sorts of funny characters with heart warming stories on the way!" To be followed by a stint as Chairman on the new series HIGNFY(James takes an irreverent look at his former colleagues in Westminster)
there were rumours of him being spotted in a New York Bath House with a male friend from school/uni.. Evening standard planted Story? Maybe someone can verify?
At least ONE of them in a position to have his voice heard in the MPC was pushing for even lower interest rates in the years the asset bubble was inflating…had that happened the collapse would, I venture to say, been even worse for the UK (as if it isn't bad enough)
Plumbers know about plumbing, bookies know about gambling, violinists know the violin and farmers know about farming yet, strangely, economists seem to know nothing at all about money.
I'm sure he has something cushty lined up in the city or on the continent. We desperately need a decontamination law to be applied to all central and local government troughers to prevent them from taking their address book to the private sector where they can make a few million. Ten years should do it.
The only way we will ever get politicians we need is to make the job so difficult and thankless for the holder, that it is only taken up by those with a genuine urge to serve the country.
It's racist when you honky folk do it, but not when we do it!
Perhaps his boyfriend is pregnant? Or maybe he just wants to spend more time with his fridge magnets?
if it wasn't rent cheques it was rent boys he bounced
Remember, there's no such thing as racism against white people.
Indeed, predicting a tax take of c 1 billion in January -we borrowed 4 billion plus instead.

Not much point in anyone with political ambitions standing for a party headed by Gordon is there?
BBC RADIO 2 running with Winterton story – "different class"
On the basis that power changes hands every so often,it's bad news in the long run(and not only for the future opposition )to lose one of the few left in Nulab with any sense at all.
Only he won't actually be there, they will just paste in a picture of him….
Depends, he might be stepping down because he has a big story to tell that will destroy Brown forever.
60 beats 20, so they must be right! (Finding out they are wrong will be too late of course.)
Funny that.
Its exactly like that on the 08:10 virgin intercity from cheshire to london.
Wouldn't it be great if MP's only got their money for leaving Parliament if it was involuntary….ie they got voted out as opposed to simply standing down or not getting selected?
Or maybe it would be better the other way? I wonder how many Labour MP's would show their confidence in Gordon Brown by not following Purnell if that were the case!
It was a fucking disgrace that on Questime Time last night, not one of the panel had the inclination to mention the carbon trading aspect to all this. Factories all over the developed world will soon be shut down in exchange for carbon cash, only to be shipped overseas to operate under weak environmental laws. All part of the plan, mind you.
We need a volunteer to ride naked through the streets to protest oppressive taxation.
Yes but one of those economists is one D. Blanchflower, of the parish of BBC and Channel 4; if I were Chancellor my instincts would be to do the exact opposite of what this individual advocates.
That's the one. The really worrying thing is – they think this is perfectly normal conduct.
Purnell won't have any trouble in being in politics and out of politics – the man who can be in two places at once.
LFEPA responsibilities Bertha Joseph
Deputy Chairman, (Ceremonial events and activities associated with Community Outreach)
Stop being silly Gordon, people are seeing through that, I did it for a long time and now no one believes me.
One of his local Bruvvers has just commented 'Good Riddance'. Yes…lets not have any poncy intellectuals around here getting in the way of the socialist workers dream. Throw another billion on the fire Gordon … its a bit cold today.
Don't forget that Purnell was the lying c.unt who appeared on tv the weekend after the Scottish Abrahams fake donations scandal to say that they HAD been repaid. Anyone who can lie so blatantly for ZaNuLieBor can never be said to have any sense.
A lying hoon is what he is.
Only when he has lots of coppers around him. Fat gobby, illiterate c.unt!
I don't blame him. Clearly he doesn't want to be associated with Robber Brown even distantly.
It's bad enough being in the same solar system as him – I can't imagine being in the same Party.
Actually they are boycotting labour's plans to take the houses off the hard-working families who look after frail relatives.
I know that I have worked hard to pay for my home. I would like to leave that home to my only child when I die. I do not want the fucking thieving bastard government to get one penny of it!
If I was in power, I would change the law so that if you own a property that you use as a family home, and it is your ONLY property and you own it outright, you could voluntarily apply to have that property de-listed as an asset, or listed as a valueless home. This would then be the case until you die, or you apply to have it re-listed as an asset.
In other words, You would volunteer to have the property listed as a valueless, unsaleable item. You would not be able to rent it out, sell it, and you could not be taxed on it, or have it included as an asset in any kind of benefit claim. You would not be able to take out loans against it, nor use it for any sort of revenue generation at all. It would be a home and nothing more than that.
After making such a declaration, there would be a five year limit before being able to re-list it as an asset. Any re-listing as an asset would take place no sooner than 10 years after the application to re-list it, to prevent people abusing the system for instant personal gain.
This way your home could be passed to your children, as a home, but not an asset. If they wanted it to become an asset, then they would have to apply for it to be re-listed as an asset too and then realise the asset value of it after 10 years.
I think that there should be a legal definition of a 'home' that is distinct from property, and that a person could own their own home, giving them peace of mind and security, without having any of the financial benefits or traps of property.

Expect to see Baron Purnell on the Tory benches after the general election and if Cameron is Prime Minister! He will also have a position in government.

A Physicist, an Engineer and an Economist are shipwrecked on a desert island. There is no food but one day a packing case filled with tins of baked beans is washed up. They open the case and puzzle on how to get the beans out of the tins.
The Physicist says "Easy! Put the tins on a fire and the heat will not only cook the beans but when it gets hot the lid will burst open!"
The Engineer says, " Easy, put a sharp stone under the rim of the lid and knock the lid off"
The Economist says, "Easy, assume we have a tin opener!"
Left foot Straw and Hopi Sen found it hard to cover this breaking news story, funny how they both found other stories to blog about today,
I suspect he will end up trying and resume his career with the BBC after the election where he was head of corporate planning. This would fit in with his stated desire to continue to be of service to the Labour Party. Doubtless after the election many of the Labour government will be looking for jobs in the BBC as it's where they are made so welcome while in opposition.
Or parliamentary seats are assigned via a lottery.
I have more and more sympathy with those who think the last people we should allow to be politicans are those willing to be elected.
Then we may purge our political system of the current crop of war-mongering psychopaths.
Remember "No10's gay smear attack on James Purnell after bust-up with the Prime Minister Hissy Fit Shock Horror Probe"
Thanks Bill. Just off to have a shower now I think.
Have just read an interview.
My conclusion – mid life crisis/breakdown.
One thing in his favour and the thing that should be noted is he at least has the balls to stand down.
This takes more fortitude than staying where you are.
I think this bloke should be congratulated on at least having some morals.
[my previous post was made in ignorance before I read his interview]
He used to be captain of Spurs (in the days when they could play a bit,).
He should have stuck to football.
Middlesbrough is the classic example of what Labour gives you.
A crap Labour council and a crap Labour MP who take their electorate for granted.
If you are ever unlucky enough to experience the place, bear this in mind.
So some clueless leftie economists write a stupid letter in the Pinko FT?
So what?
The truth is that FWIT Brown has bankrupted the nation!
Well, I've no complaints.
It's been a nice little earner for me!
Blanchflower, speaking from the USA, seemed a bit bonkers on Channel 4 last night. They turned the volume off on him to allow the other economist to speak.
Perhaps it was jet lag.
It why "Dave" should end the TV_Tax, goto encrypted subscriptions, and let subscribers elect the BBC board.
Ho Hum…..
Only 13 economists in the whole world predicted the GFC – global financial collapse.

Oh be sure and hide your cheque books from Stuart's son, won't you…
Can they provide fake biometric information on the passport too? And bodge the British records so that the new 'Mossad Issue' appears on the real British passport list? I'll have two of those please.
Economist are accountants without wacky the sense of humour!
Looked it up. Saw the line :
Sayanim must be 100% Jewish. They live abroad, and though they are not Israeli citizens, many are reached through their relatives in Israel.
Didn't the Soviet Union do the same thing? Pressure on people outside the USSR via their relatives/friends still there?
Not at all, feel free!
O/T but I just saw a quote on Norman Tebbit's site:
"I did go to one Bilderberg meeting (on the advice of my officials that I should know what it was all about). I was never invited to another – which tells you something about both the Bilderbergers and me."
Respect to Tebbit ;)
What is it about these w*nkers in the public sector politics, do they feel that a 'trough' is their birthright!!
Coventry would sooner be bombed by hitler again that see that one eyed twat get re-elected
We are going to pay £250 million to have our street light-switches changed. It will take over 100, yes one hundred years, to get a return from this stupidity. However the magic ligths we will get are not going to need replacing for……… Oh 20/30 years. Brill.
However the boys and girls in the council are going to get jobs on the board of the company set up to run this Public Private Initative.
Some would call that corruption. I how ever, couldn't possibly comment.
Is he waiting to sign on? Someone should tell him he's not entitled to JSA becuase he left his job voluntarily.
This guy is a talent. It wouldn't surprise me to see him switch sides.
Very sad to see Purnell go, I felt he was the one potential Labour leader who could turn the troubled party around. I may well have voted for him, whereas I can't say the same for the Milibands, Johnson, Harm-men or Balls.
Where do Labour go from here? It looks pretty bleak for them now.
Indeed, if arch-dove Blanchflower had managed to get his way, he would have made the debt problems which led to this crisis far, far worse.
The single most stupid decision, however, was Brown's decision to remove house prices from the official inflation figures. House prices are central to the British economy, unlike other nations.
It's pretty bleak for the Tories if the latest poll in The Times is correct. Cameron has to remove Osborne and substitute Ken Clarke NOW. It's the only way for the Tories to pull it off. He has to do it this weekend – no ifs, no buts. NOW.
And then Ken Clarke can replace Cameron with Lord Heseltine and it will be just like the old days.

Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Ghosts will feature Kinect-enabled voice commands, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg has confirmed with VentureBeat.
The executive explained that the updates Microsoft has made to the Kinect 2.0 sensor will lead to a level of "responsiveness and detail" that was not possible before.
Hirshberg said more information about Kinect integration for Call of Duty: Ghosts will be revealed at a later date, and made clear that Infinity Ward believes the technology will better the game.
"We've always made sure that we don't just use new technology for novelty's sake," Hirshberg said. "We always make sure that it makes the gameplay better. In this case, we think it will."
Also in the interview, Hirshberg commented on the cross-generational nature of Call of Duty: Ghosts. He said gamers who pick up the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions will enjoy a "superb experience" that will include many of the gameplay ideas, including dynamic maps and character customization, promised for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions.
To achieve this vision, Hirshberg said it was decided early on that Call of Duty: Ghosts for current-generation platforms would be developed alongside the next-generation versions at Infinity Ward instead of being ported by an outside studio.

These discs weren't flops, but they didn't sell in huge numbers, either. So it was no surprise when Hancock subsequently founded his own label, Transparent, and reunited with Laswell, who'd been behind the boards for his biggest commercial triumph. But even though its handle is obviously intended to recall the Future Shock period, Future 2 Future is no "Rockit" rehash: Rather, it's an ambitious and adventurous collection of modern soundscapes that grew out of conversations Hancock had with Laswell about a series of subjects, only one of which was music.
"I wanted to find out about Bill's life and the issues he's concerned about," Hancock says. "What are his cares? What does he feel passionate about? Because I have certain things I feel very passionate about, and I don't want to just make albums with tunes anymore. I want to have a purpose.
"We talked for two hours about humanity, about political issues, about social issues, about art and its role. And then Bill said to me, 'You know, this area of music they call electronica -- did you know your work has been a big influence on a lot of the people who work in that area?' And I hardly knew anything about electronica. I thought maybe he was talking about 'Rockit' or Head Hunters. But he said, 'Not "Rockit," and not Head Hunters, either. Sextant.' I said, 'What?' Because Sextant was my first record for Columbia Records, and it was a very far-out, avant-garde jazz record that was done way back in the early '70s. So," he chuckles, "I didn't believe him."
He should have. Sextant, an excellent effort reissued a few years back on the Legacy/Columbia imprint, is frequently name-checked by electronica practitioners and jazz types with electro leanings, like Bugge Wesseltoft. Furthermore, "Nobu," a cut from the 1974 Hancock opus Dedication, is seen as an important precursor of the form -- hence its presence on Checkone: Applied Rhythm Technology, a mix compilation tracing the roots of the movement that also sports a thumper by rave royalty Carl Craig, a prominent guest on Future 2 Future.
Still, Hancock didn't react to this news by immersing himself in today's electronic music, "which is why I made the record I made," he says. "I couldn't have made it if I'd had too many external influences in the same area. It might have been somewhat derivative otherwise, and I'm not the kind of person who's satisfied with being derivative. And even if I'd tried not to do what other people were doing, it would have been reactionary. So by not doing it, I started out with a clean slate."
Laswell built upon Hancock's decision by tweaking the procedure they'd previously used together. "Usually, Bill likes to prepare something musically of his own, without me being in the studio with him," Hancock reveals. "Then he takes those tapes and plays them for me, and in the past, I would listen to what he prepared, and we'd start analyzing it, discussing it, picking out elements that could be a springboard for a melody or harmonic content or structure. And we could erase the whole thing if that's what I wanted.
"This time, though, he didn't do it that way," Hancock points out. "He did start off preparing things, but the first time I heard what he'd prepared, I was at a keyboard in the studio with the 'record' light on, which forced me to be totally right-brain. There was no time to analyze anything, because I didn't know what would come up next; I had to immediately respond and react, which is a rare way to do things. Even during the major avant-garde period of jazz in the late '60s and early '70s, the songs usually had melodies, some harmonic starting-off point, or something to unify a particular piece in the beginning. But in this case, Bill knew what the elements were, but I didn't, which made the situation pretty unique."
Even so, Hancock wasn't immediately sure this method would yield results. "The first time I overdubbed something, I thought it was nonsense, garbage," he admits. "I told Bill, 'Maybe we ought to do that again.' And Bill said, 'No, that's cool. I can use almost everything on that one.' And he could, because with the technological developments in music, there are all sorts of things you can do in production and post-production. You can expand, repeat, even change keys and do other things electronically to give certain elements and phrases more cohesiveness. It can seem random, but it can be used in a way that's not."
True enough: Future 2 Future holds together despite its quirky birth and a dizzyingly eclectic array of assistants that encompasses jazzbos (percussionist extraordinaire Jack DeJohnette), hip-hoppers (former X-Men member Rob Swift) and even a full-fledged diva (Chaka Khan), one of several featured vocalists. Not all of the latter are singers, however.
"When Bill and I started talking more specifically about the elements I might want for this record, I was thinking about what could set this record apart from other records I've done," Hancock recalls. "And I said to him, 'You know, most of my records have been instrumental. On very few have I' -- and I started to say, 'had singing.' But instead, I said, 'had the human voice.' Which is a whole other level of thinking."

Heathen Kindred in Laramie, Wyoming
Laramie, WY 82073
United States
These are either events the Wolf Tree Kindred and its members have recently attended (blue), events we are planning on attending or that are up-coming (red) or events we are planning on hosting ourselves (orange). Anything else that is of interest is in green.
Our Kindred feels that events are an important way of building our community and meeting other Heathens and Pagans in our area. Online forums that are dedicated to networking Heathens and other Pagans are great for just that, but we feel that meeting in person with other heathens and pagans allows more of a connection than talking online. Looking people in the eye and shaking hands is an experience that will never leave and allows for more understanding and connection than just typing on a computer.
Saturday's 1pm - 3pm
This study group has been going for the last year and a half! If you are interested in joining us please email us and we will send you what we are currently studying! Right now we are studying the Havamal.
March 22nd or 23rd
Wolf Tree Kindred's Ostara event. Potluck as always. Please let us know you want to come so you can get directions!
April 10th-13th
Central Corridor Heathen Celebrations is proud to once again offer Ostara at Wister State Park! A fantastic gathering f the Folk in Oklahoma that remains personable at the same time as spiritual.
Registration costs:$75 Single, $125 Couple, $150 Family
We are planning on going, as we do every year! If you want to carpool, we do ask for a gas contribution and only if we have the space. Email us!
Our plans for the future include many different events some of which may not be listed here.

Hello! I'd like to be able to climb up on my roof -- to reach the very top of it and the chimney. Unfortunately, the roof is too steep to be able to do this at will... We are replacing the roof right now and my plan is to build steps: nail the roof brackets: My concerns are:
For the last concern, I'm thinking of using 2x4 planks instead of 2x6 - so that there will be a 1.5-2" gap between each plank and the roof. (Where the plank contacts the bracket, insert the additional chunk of treated wood). Anything else I should worry about? Any other ideas? I don't think, anyone else in the neighborhood has access to their roof - am I crazy wanting to able to walk up there? |

Instead of permanently-installed steps with the flashing issues that may ensue, may I suggest you get a roof ladder with roof peak hooks and just hook it over the peak and leave it installed. It's not really noticeable most situations and provides ready access for a host of roof-top jobs.. You can even get ladder hooks with rolling wheels that make it a snap to roll it up and hook it over the peak. I do the slate repairs on our seven two-story plus buildings, and of course you can't walk on slate. We also heat with wood so have frequent needs to go up and clean out chimneys. We keep a ladder permanently just lying on the backside of the roof right next to the chimney. Then all we need to do is raise an extension ladder to the eave and step right on to the roof ladder. On a different wing we keep another roof ladder permanently on the roof to access our private cell service repeater (it needs tweaking after every big windstorm, alas.) The roof ladders are just single leafs of an appropriately-sized extension ladder taken apart (a two-fly ladder yields two sections that are used independently.) I think the reason we do that is it is cheaper than buying a single ladder that long. We got the last one at Home Depot or Lowes. I buy the roof hooks from the source below because I often take the permanent ladders off to work on other roofs. Having wheels enables me, a smallish-sized woman, to easily slide 16 and 20 foot ladder sections right up to the peaks and hook 'em over.You can find non-rolling ones in many places, and that may be fine if you aren't moving the ladder very often. I think that having a ladder would be safer than stairs, because the ladder will help you keep in mind that you need to keep your weight into the roof. You can get in real trouble standing upright on a roof as if it was level ground. If your roof is really steep, you should be wearing a fall-protection harness system. I do on our tallest and steepest barns, and my DH who works for a solar company uses one every time he's on a roof. You can get harness systems from this same source, which specializes in roofworking (especially for slate and metal roofs) supplies and tools. I have been their customer for years, and never been disappointed. They have all the good - and often hard to find - stuff needed for slate work (except the slate!). HTH L. |

The only safe way to have permanent year round access to your roof is to have a metal shop fabricate a permanent steel staircase, attached at the ridge and the eaves. It would be made so the treads are expanded metal mesh, at an angle so they are all horizontal to earth, and with handrails. Your brackets will wear the shingles, probably come loose at the fasteners, and the wood will become slick with mold in wet weather, icy in cold weather, and break down over time. Roof jacks as pictured are temporary. Casey |
Thanks to all replying. I am not a fan of the ladders because those cost about just as much while not giving the same comfort and convenience. I got the point of wearing the shingles by the wood planks, but my plan was to use 2x4s instead of 2x6s -- and have a gap between the planks and the shingles. This would keep the wood from touching the shingle (except where the bracket is already touching it). The nails holding the brackets will be covered by the next layer of shingles (and thus not exposed). I understand, that a custom-made all steel staircase (with railings) would've been better, but that's way too much money and trouble. If I planned on walking out there regularly -- may be. For a twice a year exercise it seems like an overkill... Thanks again! |

The heel of the metal bracket sits on the shingles, and nails are very temporary, you would _have to_ use screws. Of course, you only need a pair about every 32", you pull yourself up from one set to the next. You will inadvertently rub the gravel off the shingles at the level of the 2x from foot contact.

A 2011 state review of Winona County Child Protective Services revealed statistics that some local advocates found alarming: child risk and safety were adequately assessed and managed in only 37.5 percent of cases studied; workers did not make mandated timely contact with children reported to have experienced serious abuse or neglect in 33.3 percent of cases reviewed by the state.
Members of the Winona County Human Services Advisory Committee approached the County Board in December of that year with a plea for more resources for a department that had experienced staffing cuts, attrition and other changes. Committee member Matt Vetter said the mandated 24-hour response time for workers to make contact with an allegedly abused child can mean life or death. "Do you want to see Winona on the front page of the newspaper about the death of a child?" he asked the board.
On Tuesday, Winona County Commissioners will learn more about a county "Performance Improvement Plan" approved by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. The plan aims to address and correct the problems identified in the 2011 child protection review. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 28 at 7 p.m. at the county office building on Main Street.
The problems
During the 2011 program review period, the Winona County Human Services Department had experienced staff cuts and the loss of its interim director, both identified in a 2012 departmental review as a variable that had caused remaining staff members stress and contributed to problems in the department. Additionally, when an employee retired or left his position, departmental leaders had to justify the need to fill the vacancy to County Administrator Duane Hebert. It was a new practice meant to help produce efficiency among the county workforce, but it also contributed to unrest, according to the 2012 department review.
The use of the synthetic drug "plant food" had also spiked during the timeframe reviewed by the state. Related child protection cases were complex, department staff reported, which contributed to the lackluster state review of county child protection services during that time.
The state 2011 review of the department showed that "risk and safety" were adequately addressed and managed in 37.5 percent of cases studied. Inconsistencies in practices, explained the report, contributed to some of the cases needing improvement, including times when infrequent visits with children, or gaps in visits, caused a problem in protection workers' ability to assess risk and safety. Overall, frequency of staff visits with children was found sufficient in 62.5 percent of cases reviewed a percentage that does not meet state and federal child protection requirements.
For children placed outside the home, such as in foster care, group homes or with relatives, county workers met with 43.6 percent of children each month they were not in their homes between October 2010 and September 2011. "State statutes require monthly caseworker visits and federal expectations are that 90 percent of all children in placement have visits with their caseworkers every month," the state report indicated.
The solutions
Since the 2011 report, the county has employed a director to oversee Human Services and Community Health departments, along with a director of social services. The county has also made changes in intake procedures and shifted more staff members to assessment duties.
In the third quarter of 2012, child protection workers met with at least 90 percent of children involved in maltreatment reports and have undergone specific training sessions to improve risk and safety assessment and management in child protection cases.
The department did not meet its performance goal for the number of children who must re-enter foster care, although there was improvement in 2012 over 2011 statistics.
According to the Minnesota Child Safety and Permanency Division, adequate supervision has been provided to child protection workers since the director positions were filled following the 2011 review. "The leadership provided by the [directors] throughout the program improvement plan phase has been instrumental in the progress made and completion of goals," states the letter.

375 Mr R. G. Casey, Minister to the United States, to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 241 WASHINGTON, 31 March 1941, 6.26 p.m.
Repeated to London 37, and to Tokyo 15.
In accordance with diplomatic practice, I called on the Japanese Ambassador [1] today. He made the following observations:
(1) That his mission was to endeavour to keep peace.
(2) That the Japanese Navy was behind him.
(3) That Japan had enough trouble on her hands.
(4) That nothing of importance would result from Matsuoka's [2] visit.
I then called on Sumner Welles. [3] He showed me a confidential telegram from a reliable American source overseas to the effect that Prince Paul of Yugoslavia had visited Hitler secretly at Berchtesgaden on 11th March. Latter in the course of argument for Yugoslavia joining with the Axis said Germany would attack Russia in June or July. On my enquiring the degree of reliability of this remarkable information, Sumner Welles said all he could say was that it fitted in with information from other quarters. He said that he believed it possible that Hitler's motive in getting Matsuoka to Berlin was to discuss the possibility of a conjoint German-Japanese pincers movement on Russia.
Sumner Welles was very pleased with the result of the visit of the American warships to Australia. On my enquiring if a similar visit was possible to Darwin he said that they had this and other naval activities in South-West Pacific under consideration, but that they did not propose to do anything more until after the result of Matsuoka's visit was clearer.
Sumner Welles expressed high regard for the Dutch Minister for Foreign Affairs [4] who will be visiting Australia later.

Free Pattern
Moon over the valley
by Janet Cook
Copyright 2004
This is my adaptation of the traditional block "Moon over the Mountain". As I cannot see mountains from my home, just a gentle valley, I devised this block to enable me to make a quilt based on my village. Its unusual shape - 8 x 5 instead of square, and its asymmetric centre make it interesting.
Download the pattern for the block (this is a pdf file and requires Adobe Acrobat which can be downloaded free from Adobe). The pattern should be printed on A4 paper
There is great scope in the centre to play with the illusion of transparency. By using paler versions of the colours you have used for pieces A and B, you can make the moon appear transparent. Or you can have a dark moon with paler hills, sky and valley. Experiment with different fabrics. Your colour choices don't have to be realistic! Experiment also with the placement of the blocks. Laying them out like bricks gives a completely different effect to laying them out in neat rows. Note also the interesting secondary pattern that emerges.

I have given you guide lines on the templates to make the job of sewing easier. If your fabrics are loosely woven you will find that spraying them with starch will help to prevent stretching. I prefer to hand sew the curved pieces and machine the straight seams - I get greater accuracy that way.

Great day tour priced right. Tour guide and boat crew were all you could ask for. On time-food and beverage wonderful. delivered as promised.
August 2014
I love this place it was beautiful. The company that managed the tour was 35 minutes late picking me up and they did not accommodate vegetarian meals(breakfast and snack-spent the day without food- no place to purchase) so I had to stay with food all day. We had to pay for additional items if you wanted to enjoy this place- the Beach chair, walking tour, snorkeling all were additional expenses

noun \ˈnär-sə-ˌsiz-əm\ (Medical Dictionary)Medical Definition of NARCISSISM
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Mental disorder characterized by extreme self-absorption, an exaggerated sense of self-importance, and a need for attention and admiration from others. First identified by Havelock Ellis in 1898, the disorder is named for the mythological Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection. In addition to an inflated self-image and addiction to fantasy, narcissism is characterized by an unusual coolness and composure, which is shaken only when the narcissistic confidence is threatened, and by the tendency to take others for granted or to exploit them. According to Sigmund Freud, narcissism is a normal stage in children's development, but it is considered a disorder when it occurs after puberty.

"Great recipe! Dough is soft and easy to work. My granddaughter and I made breadsticks and pepperoni rolls and they turned out great! Thanks for a great, easy recipe!"
"itried this recipe today with my grandson, he thinks doughnuts are a food group. He liked them as did his mother. They kind of reminded me of fried bread dough. I am not sure if I will make these again or not."
"I have been making these for a while now and I am finally getting around to rating the recipe. They are a huge hit at our house. I bake the cupcakes and let the kids fill them, they love it. But usually after filling one or two, they have to stop and eat one."
"M granddaughter and I make bread every week. We always used the italian bread recipe that came with my ABM, but this time we decided to try this one. My breadmaker died right after we put all the ingredients in, so we used the kitchenaid. This bread was exactly how I remember the Italian bread that my mom used to buy from the Italian baker who ..."
"I just made these. They are fresh out of the oven. I have been looking for a hamburger bun recipe for months now and I have found the one I will use. My husband and I couldn't resist, we had to try them right out of the oven. They are wonderful and soft. I did bake at 375 and had no problem with them being too soft,"
"I tried this today and like some others mine didn't rise. I am going to try to fold in the flour instead of using the low speed on mixer. My mom always made amazing angel food cake. I was hoping mine would turn out like hers. Sadly it didn't. I am giving this 5 stars because it tastes good and I am sure the mistake was probably mine."
"I have been trying sandwich roll recipes since I got my ABM. They were all too dense and were like rocks. This recipe was perfect, I am so glad to have finally found a recipe that I can use. This will be the go to recipe for sandwich rolls. They were light and delicious."
"A friend at work was talking about snickerdoodles, and I had to make some. I have recipes for this cookie but decided to try this one. I am glad I did they are yummy! I made a double recipe and baked half, I kept the rest for when my granddaughter comes so we can bake them together. She better visit soon because if these all get eaten, I will ..."
"I used this recipe and although it was similar to my vanilla frosting recipe, this was much creamier. I am going to use it on cookies this weekend with my grandchildren. Thanks for a great easy recipe."
"I made this cake for Sunday dessert . Although the cake was good, to me it would have been more like a shortcake rather than your typical yellow cake. I will try the recipe again in strawberry season, but not as a frosted cake."

Leonard Cohen To Tour US and Canada
To fulfill my promise made in Uncut Leonard Cohen Tour Troop Interviews to list the links to the last two interviews of that set, I checked the Uncut site tonight and found that the Roscoe Beck interview was indeed available at Roscoe Beck Uncut Interview.
It's a great interview filled with insightful anecdotes about Leonard Cohen.
I chose as an excerpt, however, something less insightful but nonetheless pretty darn interesting. Read on:
And new songs forthcoming?
Well, he's [Leonard Cohen is] writing. He's already got some things written. He's played me two of the songs. And there are more new songs. I saw him writing on the plane yesterday, in his notebooks. And he's talked to me about wanting to do a new record. But it will probably be when the touring's done. Just because we still have dates – we're in Europe until December 1, we'll break for Christmas, then I think we're going to Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia and the Far East, after that will be the US and Western Canada, so there's at least that much touring before we can start on a record. That will probably take us to at least October 2009 before we can even think about recording. [Emphasis mine]
And this is why one should always try to keep ones promises and carefully read the fine print.

Anthro (magazine)

Anthro is a bimonthly furry online fanzine which started with its September/October 2005 issue. The work carries a number of regular features, and a complement of stories, poems, interviews, and factual articles.
Anthro's editor/webmaster is Quentin 'Cubist' Long, who performed similar duties for his other (now dead) fanzine TSAT. Michael W. Bard -- Long's partner-in-crime -- initially performed associate-editorial duties as he'd previously fulfilled for TSAT, but stepped down after Anthro #6 (July/August 2006). Neither Long nor Bard considered themselves to be furries when they started Anthro; Bard later came out of the closet, but Long still maintains his distance.
Long's primary goal for Anthro is to make it a known source of high-quality furry material, including stories, art, columns, fact articles, poetry, webcomics and reviews. Long hopes that the zine's readers will enjoy it enough that they choose to support it in a concrete manner (for example, by buying posters/t-shirts/books/etc; donating money; or by purchasing a subscription), thereby providing enough revenue that he can afford to pay his contributors.
The inspiration for Anthro was a conversation between Quentin and Phil Geusz at the 2005 TSA-Bash about the lack of online furry publications focussing on quality written work.[1]
Anthro went on an unplanned hiatus from October 2010 to October 2011 due to the editor's personal issues.[2][3] A Google search for 'anthro' puts the zine in the top five results (and often in the top three).
- Through the Looking-Glass. Michael Bard's column (formerly editorial) about how furdom looks to one who is new to it.
- Down the Rabbit Hole, by Phil Geusz, which focuses on the relationship and interactions between furdom and mundane society.
- Reality Soundbites, by Keith Morrison; this column, whose first installments appeared in TSAT, addresses the question of how to make stories believable.
- The Red King's Dream, by Wanderer Werewolf, which touches on (among other things) the more-furry aspects of roleplaying games.
- Zebra Girl, Joe England's excellent webcomic about a woman transformed (by random magickal mishap) into a horned, hooved, three-eyed demon. Anthro presents the comic with England's permission, at a rate of about 8 strips per issue, starting from the very beginning.
- Castle Horsetooth, Oren Otter's and Eala Dubh's comic strip (currently on hiatus) about the fairy-tale adventures of valiant Sir Fluren and his noble steed Briarwood in the kingdom of Jaywardia. The events of the first storyline, The Case of the Six-Cent Song, bore a curious resemblance to Sing a Song of Sixpence; the second storyline is entitled Plague and the Pilfered Posies.
- Sandusky, John Pergaman Jr.'s webcomic about the misadventures of a boy and his cougar. As with Zebra Girl, this comic is presented in multiple-strip packages, with its creator's permission, starting from its first strip.
- From the Editor's Maw, in which Long explores whatever topic strikes his fancy.
Anthro offers four levels of subscriptions, with increasingly great benefits to the subscriber
- Bronze (USD $12/year): A Bronze subscription helps ensure that Long can pay his contributors as they deserve.
- Silver (USD $24/year): Silver subscribers support Anthro's creators; they also get an exclusive mini-CD of Brothers Under the Skin (excerpt available here), an original song commissioned from noted filker Tom Smith.
- Gold (USD $48/year): Gold subscribers support furry creators; they get the Brothers Under the Skin mini-CD; and every year, they receive a complimentary copy of that year's ANTHROlogy paperback, autographed by Long.
- Platinum (USD $96/year): Platinum subscribers get all the benefits of Gold, and then some; supporting furry artists and writers, the Brothers Under the Skin mini-CD, and each year, they get three complementary ANTHRO Press books -- an autographed copy of that year's ANTHROlogy, and any two other ANTHRO Press titles of their choice.
In addition to the zine's online presence, Anthro is also a source of actual ink-on-paper books. Long produces an annual collection, ANTHROlogy, whose raison d'etre is to be an 'analog' version of the zine; he also works on other volumes of interest to the furry community. As of this writing (29 June 2009), the ANTHRO Press catalog consists of:
- ANTHROlogy ONE: 602-page collection of virtually everything that appeared in Anthro's first year, issues 1 through 6. Cover by Lucius Appaloosius
- ANTHROlogy TWO: 638-page collection of the lion's share of everything from issues 7 through 12, Anthro's second year.
- The Human Memoirs, G. Howell's Anthro-serialized novel of a man who finds himself trapped in a parallel world where humans never evolved sentience... but felines did.
- The First Book of Lapism, an omnibus edition of four of Phil Geusz' Lapist stories, with introductions by Kris Schnee.
Select examples of Anthro's art are available as posters, T-shirts, and a variety of other forms. These include Leomorphic Da Vinci, by Cubist (cover of #1); Straightaway, by Lucius Appaloosius (cover of #2); Wanted: Dead and Alive, the cover of Anthro #7 and Zoomin', by Ian Williams (illustration for the Michael W. Bard story Zoo'm'in Along in Anthro #10).

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Samantha-Adopted!!
Facts about Samantha-Adopted!
- Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Samantha-Adopted!'s Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and not good with cats.
My name is Samantha, although, my people have several nick names that they refer to me by such as the "Little Tank", "Wiggle Butt", or even the "Little Bulldozer". In their defense they also tell me often that I am their bestest girl. I did get somewhat lazy over the summer and as a result I have gained a few too many pounds. I am working very hard on getting my girlie figure back by staying on a strict diet and I am back to running and playing in the yard. I have never met a person, adult or child, that I don't like. I sure wish someone would take me into their home so they could benefit from my unconditional love. I love to play with the toys and I really love to just sit with my people and let them pet me. I don't much care for other dogs so I would be my best in a home without other animals. Please take a moment to get to know me and I am sure you will want me as part of your family.
Thanks so much

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Samantha-Adopted!, a Detroit American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever for sale in Detroit, or seeking a American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Detroit.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Detroit already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Detroit breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever breeders who help with American Staffordshire Terrier/Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Detroit paves the way for another one to be saved.
