A place of sanctuary?

Comments Off
CentreForum's report, A place of sanctuary? urges the Government to make the asylum system fairer and more efficient. It argues that the most "draconian elements" of the current system were a response to the large number of applications in previous years which have fallen by 72% between 2002 and 2013. The report makes recommendations in the areas of institutional reform, detention, destitution, etc. For details see: http://www.centreforum.org/assets/pubs/a-place-of-sanctuary.pdf
Executive summary and recommendationsThe UK's asylum system was severely tested by a surge in asylum seekersaround the turn of the century. The government responded with a flurry of legislation designed to curb numbers by restricting border access for potentialasylum seekers, reducing the scope for successful applications and appeals and by making living conditions more uncomfortable.

Early day motion 99: HIGH COURT JUDGMENT ON ASYLUM SUPPORT

Comments Off
Despite Refugee Action's apparently successful judicial challenge of the rate of asylum support payments an internal Home Office review has concluded there is no need to alter the basic rate of asylum support payments. They have even suggested that to equalise payments to parents for children by reducing the rates for under 16 year olds.
Currently 16 and 17 year old rate is £39.80 whereas under 16 year olds the rate is £52.96. Still Human Still Here will continue to lobby on this issue.

Comments Off
"That which is morally wrong cannot be politically right" 1822 Quaker Faith and Practice 23.26
Enforced destitution is being used as an instrument of immigration control and, increasingly, of other government policies which primarily affect the most vulnerable. Quakers believe that there is that of God in every person and strive towards equality of respect. Refusing people any legal means of survival or dignity is denying the divine and humanity, which can never be justified. While we being mindful of settled residents struggling with poverty and destitution because of austerity pay rates and austerity benefit policies, we should neither ignore nor blame those who have sought sanctuary in the U.K. Read more
Sign the letter: Saving refugees in the Mediterranean.

Comments Off
It is with great sadness that we write to you today.
As the world faces its most pressing refugee crisis since the Second World War – with hundreds of thousands fleeing deadly conflicts and oppressive regimes across Africa and the Middle East – the announcement that Britain will not support any future search and rescue operations to prevent migrants and refugees drowning in the Mediterranean has shocked us.
Where there should have been humanity, there was cold cynicism; where there should have been compassion, there was indifference.
This is not an issue of immigration or economics, but of ethics and morality. The announcement on Monday has revealed that Britain's respect for the sanctity of human life has all but vanished. Read more
Refugees and Migrants (Search and Rescue Operation)
Hansard 30 Oct 2014 : Column 397
10.32 am Mark Lazarowicz (Edinburgh North and Leith) (Lab/Co-op) (Urgent Question): To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make a statement on why the Government have decided not to support search and rescue operations for refugees and migrants in the Mediterranean.
The Minister for Security and Immigration (James Brokenshire): The United Kingdom has a long and proud tradition of providing sanctuary to those who genuinely need it. We work closely with our European neighbours to provide assistance to those fleeing from fear or persecution and to deter those whose criminal actions stand in the way of providing effective help.

Pros: Expensive video card
Cons: Video card family has a serious hardware wink and blink problem when attempting to operate at reasonable bandwidth. When gaming online or even attempting to watch DVD videos, card halts, blanks the screen, then restarts1 second later. Newer drivers simply cause computer to lock, requiring reboot. Other gamers have noted this serious bug.
Other Thoughts: Skip the GTX670 family and wait for the hardware fixed chipset next year. No help from Galaxy or Nvidia for support as they all know it is hardware related.

International Edition
Eatocracy's Managing Editor Kat Kinsman attempts to vegetable garden on a roof deck in Brooklyn, NY in USDA Hardiness Zone 6b. Feel free to taunt, advise or encourage her efforts as this series progresses.
This morning, I stood on my roof deck and made my African Guinea Flint corn have sex with itself.
Some folks knit, ride dirt bikes or collect small, disturbingly lifelike figurines of a baby Lord Voldemort. I get my kicks from raising heirloom vegetables.
The process isn't always quite so hands-on. Mostly, it's just a matter of sticking seeds or shoots in dirt, fertilizing, watering and presto - potatoes, tomatoes and radishes as far as the eye can see. And if you have the acreage, corn would probably not require the services of a social director. The way corn propagation generally occurs is that stalks are planted in semi-dense blocks of rows. Male tassels at the top of the stalks produce pollen, which must be carried down to the silks emerging from the tips of newly-forming ears. Each silk strand corresponds to a kernel of corn and must be pollinated to assure that there will be no gaps on the cob.
Out in a commercial field or garden plot, gravity, wind and insects would assist with this process, and most importantly, there would likely be no shortage of pollen to ensure a hearty dusting. I, on the other hand, have four stalks. Just four, and they're growing in a galvanized tin tub on my Brooklyn roof deck at slightly different rates.
They need all the help they can get, which is why earlier today, I could be found outside, gently brushing pollen from tassel to silk with my fingers in the hopes of knocking up my corn. I may have been humming some Serge Gainsbourg and Barry White as I worked. These things happen.
But the embarrassing part? Before this, I cannot in all honesty say that I knew how corn...happens. I've been eating it all my life, from supermarkets and farm stands and lived across the road from a vast, undulating plain of it in grad school. I'd tried to grow it myself, on occasion - never to great success and it never occurred to me that perhaps there was something more to the whole process than plant, water, ears, shuck, eat.
Yes, clearly pollination has to take place at some point, but for the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, beans and okra I'd long grown (to varying degrees of success), the bees, butterflies and other winged things popping about from flower to flower seemed to do the trick. Corn doesn't have flowers - well, technically the tassels and silk are flowers - at least in the format I was used to; and it's actually a kind of grass.
Come to think of it, until I started growing them for myself from seed, I could not have, with any level of certitude, explained how exactly potatoes, artichokes, pattypan squash, horseradish, cauliflower or edible loofahs came into being. Blame my having fallen asleep on that day in elementary school, childhood in a suburb where the Chem-Lawn man was king or even my own lazy lack of exploration. I could cook the dickens out of these things but could not connect the items on the shelves and in the stalls (and if we're going back to my childhood, from the cans and frozen block) to how they'd come forth from the earth.
That's sad, and sadder still - I doubt I'm alone. And this is why I'm grateful for the emergence of chef/farmers like Charleston, South Carolina's Sean Brock, Greenville, South Carolina's Shaun Garcia who physically work the land on their own farms - and aren't afraid to evangelize about the importance of knowing where food comes from and what goes into growing it. Brock himself gave me, and other attendees of the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival, the rare heirloom kernels I used to grow the stalks to which I played Dr. Ruth earlier today, in the hope that increased propagation will keep this endangered strain from dying out completely.
Brock told me that he, himself likely won't even taste a kernel - he's saving his all for seed, to beget more seed and so on. I admire his restraint, but I'll have to nibble at least one ear and taste the fruits of my labor.
The farm-to-table movement is criticized by some as being elitist or precious - and sure, some of the culture around it may indeed be at times - but at its core, it's anything but. It's incredibly empowering to know whose hands touched the food I'm eating, how it was cared for, the way it formed and that some day, if push comes to shove, I could coax some into being - one blushing ear at a time.
Previously – Tubers on the roof and Letting failure bloom
Great article! I did not know how baby corn kernnels came to be, so I found it very interesting, thank you. Can you post pictures when the corn are ready? I want to see if it worked... I have to live vicariously through others growing their own produce as I have way too many critters visiting the yard these days. :)
@RICHARD HOOD That *must* be just a username. I certainly hope it is, anyway. Surely your junk mail does not come addressed to "Dick Head".
No it doesn't. It comes to him addressed as "Master of the Universe" and you will bow down to him.
I saw Chuck Norris delivering mail to the "Master of the Universe."
Hey Pete, do moths have moth balls?
Kind of like pumpkin sex.
The Great Pumpkin would never do that !
I worked for four years for a corn research company in Iowa, pollinating for ten hours a day. I could tell you a story or two but they mostly involve sweaty teenagers and aphids.
Farm to table seen as elitist?! Really?! That surprises me. I think of it as my grandfather who worked out in his garden for years and years and then my grandma cooked whatever he picked. My sister in law, just hired a new chef/manager at her wood fired oven restaurant and he's from the area originally. They are going to be doing a lot more farm to table at the restaurant. I'm sooo excited about it. I think it just makes sense. It's the freshest ingredients you can find. He's using local corn for a vegetarian corn chowder that people are raving about.
Yes, there are some stupid people out there who consider this kind of thing elitist. Like someone is locking them out of doing it themselves.
They forget that it wasn't very long ago that it was the poor people who worked their tails off on the farm to eat and the rich city folk who got to purchase food from elsewhere. These days we think of wealthy people eating fresh food from the garden and poor folk eating crap from cans and boxes. Either way, knowing where food comes from and how to grow it is a basic necessity for the survival of our species. Someone had better know where baby corns come from!
... there's a mommy corn and a daddy corn who love each other very much .....
part of the reason it's deemed elitist in places like brooklyn (where i actually live and base my business) is because of the influx of upper class into traditionally poor neighborhoods. if this kind of stuff was taught and shared with the natives it would be much more palatable to me.
good read though.
– lisa
@RichardHead – It's legal in New York as long as it isn't really fun.
Soooo,this is what our fearless leader actually does on her Birthday....Forced cornication on a hot tin roof. Is a female vegetable domination video in the works? Is this legal in the State of New York? We will have to wait and see.

As recently as 2000, chicken pox was not considered the plague, as evidenced by this Mattel doll. Children were not routinely vaccinated against the disease, instead they caught it as tots and then kissed it goodbye. Moms, and little girls playing Mommy, helped make the chicken pox disappear.

I can tell you that snakes adore Snake-Away. My next door neighbor feels the way you do and so he put that all around his patio. I have a friendly black snake that was snoozing on my lawn and as soon as she smelled it she raced over there to see what was going on. |
Well you certainly covered every arguement I could think of in favor of having snakes around! That list is funny! Now as for your question, the only thing that I've ever seen keep away snakes is a small dog (haven't seen a single snake in my parent's back yard since they got their australian terrier) or a housecat that's skilled at hunting. Word of warning, some skilled hunters seem to believe that the best thing to do with a snake is to present it alive to a member of the household. I had a cat who presented the same live black racer to my mother several times before we relocated the poor snake miles from the house. My mom's terrified of snakes and the cat would only present the snakes to her! Which truyly disappointed me and dad as we love seeing and handling snakes. Kara |
Yeah, the teenager next door and I have a running joke about him keeping HIS garden snakes on HIS property, thank you very much. For a while I would go banging on his door to come and fetch one of the snakes out of my yard, but that got a bit ridiculous. (Teenagers don't appreciate bright-and-early Saturday and Sunday surprise visits. Who knew?) Of course, they are harmless black racers or whatever, and I am not nearly as phobic as I used to be, but I still smack my shovel around and try to make all kinds of noise to let them know I am coming when I head out into the garden. I have taken to sending my dog, Scout, (who I now call Snake Scout, hoping she will get the hint) outside ahead of me to make the commotion so they won't surprise me on the stone patios in front and back where they like to sun. Those little dudes even sun themselves stretched across THE TOPS OF MY HEDGES!! Not cool. The ironic thing is, now we have these fat, disgusting curly tail lizards (not your average cute indigenous insectivores, but carnivorous, semi-erect dinousaur-looking things that have invaded from the depths of hell, build nests with twigs like birds do, and hunker down in one spot to spawn more little vermin), and I have to say that if there was a showdown under the boxwood I would definitely be rooting for the snakes. On principle. Oh well, I will just keep smacking the hedges and making as much noise as possible before I go into the foliage. Gina, Garden Wimp |
How funny, my parents terrier is also named Scout and she is quite the hunter. Australian terriers are actually bred to go after snakes and rodents. She hasn't attacked anything but when she finds a critter in her yard she makes a fuss over it until Dad comes to check it out. As soon as he deals with whatever it is she calms right down. Yeah, some snakes like to sun themselves in high places. Years ago mom had an arbor over a sidewalk that was covered in confederate jasmine. Well, late one afternoon dad was walking under it and had a large racer fall off the arbor and slide down his body before hitting the ground and taking off! Needless to say the jasmine was quickly cut down and relocated and now a much thinner and tamer climbing rose is growing there. Kara |
Gina, I think you might be talking about Knight Anoles. I have a few here too. Some one said they aren't native and should be destroyed, but I am not sure about that. BTW, your post was very funny and it made me laugh out loud. :o) |

I had placed a cement roof tile (it is V-shaped) in front of a new bamboo shoot so the lawn guys would not weed whack it. I went out to take the tile away when the shoot was tall enough to be easily seen, and I picked up the tile to reveal a very small baby snake who had apparently been using it as his own little puptent. I thought he was cute, but you probably would not have been amused. |
I see on tv a product called Liguid Fence and it is supposed to keep out unwanted critters. You buy the one you need. I haven't tried it myself, but thought about the one for rabbits. |

In West Texas they use moth balls under the houses to keep rattle snakes out from under their homes. I do not know how well it works but it is used quite a bit there. |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Wed, May 9, 12 at 10:29
Moth balls are part of the formula in snake-away, which seems to attract rather than repel snakes, so I doubt the efficacy of that. In one way, I suppose it works, since you will not want to go outside and so will not be likely to see the snakes. :) |
I suppose since I live in what should still be the Everglades that I am just lucky I don't have boas and anacondas that idiot pet owners let loose. |

Guineas usually will alert you to anything going on in your yard. They jump straight up in the air when there is a snake and will pin point it for you. They are easy on the garden too. Alas, they roam and do not want to roost where you have designated them to. Grays are better than whites as you won't lose many to hawks with the gray color. AND most snake repellents are moth ball based and they do not work. There is nothing that will inhibit a snake other than a bullet. AND if it isn't poisonous why not leave it alone? Learn to to tell the good from the bad and please do not kill the good ones! Thank you! |

First of all, you should be happy to see snakes in your garden. they do a lot of good and no harm as far as I know. There are two things I can think of that predate snakes. King snakes and Red Shouldered Hawks. You may not be happy about the King snakes and the hawk will probably go away once it has cleared the are of snakes. Get over it. john |

Most cats will do a number on snakes. I keep all my cats indoors though. We've been in a drought so I set out shallow containers of water for the lizards, skinks, and snakes. I have a nice 4 ft black racer that visits my garden. I'm quite fond of him. |

I neither hate nor love snakes. But I do enjoy seeing the Black Racers here in Florida and have caught and released 6 foot Black(Rat?) Snakes(from my bedroom) in Ohio. That said, I'll introduce a poisonous threat to me, my dog, or the neighbor kids to the business end of a hoe and not feel too quilty. Not that I've ever had to do that, I haven't. Garter snakes? I've never seen that many in my yard to be concerned with but I suppose if I did, like in the Idaho house, I'd be getting a couple outdoor cats. Or chickens? That or call call an exterminator. |
Hummmmmm. Guess I'll tell my story. About 2 years ago, I was taking foliage off my daylilies. I gave a leaf a jerk and a snake comes flying out of the daylily box, bounces off my leg and lands on my foot. I did a dance that convinced him he was endangered and he disappeared. About 3 weeks later. My husband was in the guest room recovering from cancer surgery two days before. Wouldn't disturb him for ANYTHING!! I needed something from the garage, grabbed it and sped out to the backyard (I always walk fast). Stepped into the grass and stopped in my tracks. I had stepped on that **!*??@ snake. He writhed under my feet, hitting my legs with his fangs. Finally I took a step back and ran like ..... to the garage. The "incident" was in front of the window to the guest room where husband was recovering. I couldn't yell! I came back out in time to see the snake leaving the ferns under the window. Those ferns were removed later that day. That's when we named the snake MUSTGO. Oh, about a month later. Helped the NJ lady who owns the home behind us. She is skittish about FL, but as nice as they come! We were trimming the palmettos that are on the property line between us. I stepped back to admire our work and there was MUSTGO. Up in the palmettos, about 6 ft off the ground. Watching us. I didn't panic, so she didn't either. I went home, got my husband (who was sorta recovered) and he did in MUSTGO. To this day I regret it. Fastfoward to two days ago. I'm removing leaves from that same daylily box, and I see a movement. Ain't no anole. I smile. I've seen a 3' black races on the back sidewalk and he doesn't respond to "shoo, shoo". Today left the house by the front door and was occupied with putting keys back in my purse and I darn near stepped on that snake. I think he's MUSTGO's grandson or great grand son. He's safe. He just sticks his tongue out at me and I stick mine out at him. My husband doesn't understand, but the snake is still safe. |

I saw liquid fence, SnakeAway, and high pitched frequency sound emitters, while searching for a nice way to repel deer. Where is Saint Patrick when you need him? I have Black Racers, they don't eat hard to find plants from Siberia...see post "Eastern Prince Magnolia Not Deer Resitant. " I can live with snakes, difficult to wake up and find nubs where a plant used to be though. |
Thanks for all the fun snake stories...i only saw Snakie once this week. And John, Mr. Bossy-Pants, I thank you for finally curing me forever of my snake phobia. The "get over it" stuff is GENIUS! How lucky you are to fear nothing. |
So this morning I am taking my daughter to school (smack in suburbia) and there is Snakie curled in the hedge 5 feet from the front door, minding his own business. I saw him in the same spot yesterday, curled up sleeping. Kinda reminded me of the dog. I was planning to give that hedge a haircut, and I thought to myself, well, I could whack it down to a foot of leafless trunks, and maybe he will go away. But then I realized, ya know, it would really suck if I came home and someone had bulldozed my house. (Might be more like if someone ran over my favorite recliner with a 4 x 4, but go with me here.) So I seem to be making some major psychological progress, anthropomorphizing the little dude (he is about as thick as a hotdog and maybe 18 inches long) and sympathizing with him. It has taken me 46 years to get to this point, and I am not in general a wuss. Bugs, spiders...no problem. I have dissected many species, dead and alive (sedated) ,including a human cadaver, and performed countless surgeries and bloody medical procedures. If anyone wonders the surest way to create a snake phobia in a kid: From when he/she is tiny, start putting snakes in his/her face at zoos and nature centers. If she shies away, take her little hand, drag her up to the snake, and put her hand on it, insisting how it's not slimy or scary. At parties where the "Steve the Snake Guy" brings his reptiles, be sure to shove her into the photo with all the kids and the big snake draped over all the little shoulders. Play fun family games in gift shops and toy stores where you toss rubber snakes at her, and tell her to buck up when sadistic older siblings have friends come over with pet snakes coiled around their necks to chase her around the house and yard. In short, do everything you can to expose your kid to snakes "up-close and personal". After all, you mean well, your kid needs to learn to get over her fear, and you know better than she does, right? Just sayin'. |
Hi Gina, I don't know if you'll get this message, but I'm disappointed in the messages I'm reading, because I don't think they are very helpful. It's sad to hear most seem to laugh at that phobia, and not take how you feel seriously. You just want an answer. I love to organic garden, and live in CT by the shore. I too am not the girl who would enjoy stepping on snakes while I'm finding peace digging and planting. I found a great article, that is more helpful. ( (1). I plant short marigolds against my home, about four feet from my tomatoes, etc. - I don't have too many issues with bugs due to this. This also doesn't give snakes too much to eat, I believe it helps starting with the bottom of the food chain, naturally, of course. (2). Don't put wood or cement down in your garden, seal places they love to hide, etc...). Here's the article: (It may be all we can do until the day we feel comfortable picking one up and giving it a big kiss, like some others have no trouble with! Lol!)-cut & paste: http://www.gardenguides.com/79595-keep-snakes-out-flower-beds.html |

Personally, I HATE SNAKES. I am such a phobic that I have to kill every one I see....yes...even the "good ones"!!! (I will kill my own bugs and mice too, thank you.) The only good snake is a dead one. I get very physically ill when I see them. However, they MUST DIE! My family is able to recognize in a split-second my "snake scream." Therefore, let me assure you the following story is gospel truth... One day a couple of years ago I came home from work for lunch. I step out to the porch swing to enjoy the lovely day and the beautiful flowers. What do I see? A writhing mass of ugliness in my yard! My husband isn't home, so I call him as fast as I can hit speed dial on my phone. He says it'll take him about 5 minutes to get home. I tell him to hurry and run to get the garden hoe. I'm sure all the neighbors thought they had a crazy lunatic neighbor if they saw me chopping up snakes while throwing up at the same time! I killed 8 snakes in that bunch! A couple got away and went under my front porch. My husband said they were "only garter snakes" but he would get some Snake-Away and put under the porch to get rid of them. He threw it under one end of the porch and my son (home from Afghanistan on military leave) waited at the other end. The snakes couldn't leave fast enough!! My husband and son killed over 30 snakes as they slithered out from under my porch!! The Snake-Away smells like mothballs, but it had a lovely odor to me!! :) Hope my story helped. If you don't like the mothball smell, I have also heard that marigolds keep them away too and they're much prettier! :) By the way...I've always kept the garden hoe by the back door of the house since that day! |

LOL,LOL,LOL!!! Olny thing works for me is a hoe!! Sorry, I have heard all the reasons why not harm them, But I live in the wilderness (not by choice) and there are way too many snakes out here, It is nothing to walk out to the patio and find 5 or 6 sunning some being water moccasins. Ergggg! no thank you! I do what I have to do to be safe in my home, there are hundreds of acres around here where they can hang. |
I'm no fool, I don't like the poisonous ones. But other than that I'm not afraid of snakes. But I do understand phobias since I have one with cockroaches (go figure that I stay here in Florida!) Anyway, last week while in the veggie patch, I noticed the dog growling and jumping at something. Sure enough, it was a HUGE striped rat snake. I made her stop since it's harmless and I don't want her messing with snakes since we have killed rattle snakes here. Later on that afternoon I go to the chicken coop to gather eggs, I opened up the hatch to the nesting boxes and this snake is inside one of them, trying to swallow a golf ball, with a real egg laying right beside it. So I grab a stick and try to sweep it out of the coop, the stick is brittle and keeps breaking off. I finally get it out of the coop on the ground, still the golf ball is in it's mouth. So I go to look for the pitchfork only to pick it up and move it off the property - when I get back it is gone - the golf ball lying there where it finally managed to spit it out. So I'm searching for it, can't believe it disappeared so fast. Then I looked up in a close-by tree and there it is, out on a limb, sticking it's tongue out at me. So I gave up for about and hour and went back to check the coop - it's back in there AGAIN trying to swallow another golf ball. I chased it back and forth all over that chicken coop but it got away through the chicken wire and into another tree. The next time I will get a pair of gloves on and snatch that sucker up and dispense with him to the neighbor's property. |
Snakes follow scent glands of the females, so I think the moth balls mess up the trails, I have used them for years around my old house and finally see very few. Used to have them in and out of the house. Garters are very prolific, can be hundreds born alive, black snakes lay eggs and leave them, like under a old tree stump. |
I'd be glad to take in unwanted snakes. I like them, and they do a good job keeping down the rodent population. I've come across them from time to time in my garden, I leave them alone, they leave me alone. I used to keep some as pets when I was younger, they are beautiful and interesting critters. |
Ok...snakes are good...just get over it, right? No. Snakes reside under my back door step. I have asked them nicely to just be aware that it is my space too; please respect that fact...do they? Well no, they do not. Fact is that they do fright me upon enter/exit as they just appear, usually quickly; soon I expect that I will break an ankle or hip. I do not want a dog either. What to do? |

You are probably going to just have to live with the snakes. |

I don't know about repelling snakes, but supposedly you don't want Muhly Grass. "Snakes love to hide in that stuff" according to my M-I-L. Though, she's seen five or snakes in her garage which is five or six snakes more than I have seen in my Muhly Grass. So apparently if one has an issue with snakes, the last thing one wants is a garage. |
- Posted by love_the_yard z9A Jax FL (My Page) on Fri, Jun 6, 14 at 21:27
The prior owner of my home carpeted the garage with an indoor/outdoor carpet. When I moved in, I took several large boxes, flattened them and laid them out where I park the car to save the carpet. A few years later, I went to replace the cardboard and between the layers was a perfect snake skeleton. |
I don't do snakes, they can live somewhere else thank you!! |

I don't like it much. I think the old Today's Post section was better than Latest Activity. Maybe I'll get use to it and come to like it...
Considering that this was done in a day, congratulations to all those who cursed, sweated, cried, and had nervous breakdowns to get this all completed. It's a lot of white space for me as for the looks, but I have sunglasses next to my computer for such purposes, the autosave is interesting, and I can think of times when I've needed it. The edges and fonts are cleaner and if my only gripe is the white space well I have my sun glasses if I'm too lazy to change it.
It's kind of like an Ubuntu upgrade: some things are "whoa, cool", some things are "aaagh how do I change it back", but you just have to calm down and realize that within a matter of days or weeks someone will have sorted the real problems and you'll be accustomed to the rest.
Thanks for those who did the work!

The best knife I have ever owned! Just purchased another one & the Buck Edge Tech sharpener! Customer Service was A+ as well, Thank You!
Excellent quality
Bought for my other grandson and hope he likes it.
Bought for my grandson and hope he likes it.
Classic knife that really can't be improved.
Solid classic, really like this knife. The 50th Anniversary edition replaces one I had stolen during a military move from overseas and it's so good to have a Buck 110 back in my hands. This is not a little knife, it has a lot of heft and I really like that feel in the hand. The wood scales and brass bolsters are a thing of beauty, all snug in the leather sheath. The clip point is great for so many uses and comes very sharp. Don't get a knockoff/copy, get the original Buck 110, it's a keeper.
A beautiful 50 year anniversary addition.
We love the knife that we purchased for our grandson. The knife is fabulous and so is the way it was personalized!

G. Martin Wagner
The General Services Administration has tapped
G. Martin Wagner
to be acting commissioner of its new Federal Acquisition Service when Barbara Shelton steps down.
Wagner will take over Shelton's role Dec. 21, GSA said. Shelton is expected to return to her job as administrator of GSA's Mid-Atlantic region, a position she held before coming to Washington in February as acting commissioner for the Federal Technology Service. She took over at FAS in June when GSA merged FTS with the Federal Supply Service.
Wagner takes over at FAS after a 10-year stint as GSA's associate administrator for governmentwide policy. Before that, he was a deputy commissioner in GSA's Information Resources Management Service.
John Sindelar, deputy associate administrator for the Office of Governmentwide Policy, will assume Wagner's current position on an acting basis.
R. Paul Ryan
has been named administrator of the Defense Technical Information Center. Ryan had been acting administrator since November 2004 and, before that, served as deputy administrator overseeing daily operations, budget and personnel for the center. He has been instrumental in helping DTIC migrate from a paper-based workflow to an electronic one.
Robert Henke took the reins last month as the Veterans Affairs Department's chief financial officer and assistant secretary for management.
Henke came to VA from the Defense Department, where he served as the principal deputy undersecretary and comptroller. Previously, he was a professional staff member with the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. He replaced William Campbell, who left VA last year.
Maj. Gen. Michael D. Maples
is the new director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. He replaces Navy Vice Adm. Lowell E. Jacoby, who had held the position since Oct. 17, 2002.

Reviews of Sossus Dune Lodge
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Amazing place. Great service.
We loved that place. The rooms are excelent, in a unique location.
Very nice personnel.
Breakfast in the Dunes brilliant!
Could not have a better location and being able to see the sunrise before other people in the dunes was a privilege.
The guide for the Sunrise tour was excellent and the breakfast amongst the dunes an experience never to be forgotten.
Also went to Dune 45 for sunset - spectacular!
The staff generally could not have been more helpful and friendly. Luckily all our luggage was taken to our room as it was a bit of a hike on the boardwalks as we were in one of the furthest rooms. The room itself was a joy and the stars at night spectacular.
A very special place, would have liked to stay longer.
Sossus Dune Lodge review
This is the only place to stay if you want to get to the dunes early. That is all I need to say in this review. If you want to get the shot of the Deadvlei in the shade and the dune lit like the Franz Lanting shot...then put off the trip until you can stay here.
We loved our room. The meals were excellent. The thing we disliked the most was the parking area was below the lodge. You were dependent on walking or having someone come down and pick you up by car and take you up. THe problem was that the person picking you up also took people's luggage to the room. So if you were unlucky to arrive at the wrong time...no one was there to pick you up. So we had to hike up with all our luggage. I think 50% of the time we had to hike the distance. That is really unacceptable. They desperately need a dedicated person.
We saw Oryx on the way into this lodge but never saw any animals at the watering hole here...but this is not why you are here. I wish they had a better map. I am very good with maps and assume they are accurate in orientation. Their map was not and I made some decisions based on it that were not accurate that cost us valuable time. I think something more organized to reference that described the hikes nearby and options of things to do would have been nice.
In the area, we enjoyed the hike at the Ses Reim Canyon very much. We hiked up Dune 45 and loved Hidden vlei and its serious hike and Dead vlei. Elium Dune was ok but we didn't hike to the top ...so maybe I didn't give it enough. I strongly recommend the helicopter ride to deadvlei for serious photographers. Our hot air balloon ride was cancelled but after some discussion we decided the helicopter was really the better option for us anyway. If you have a car, there seems to me no reason to do any activities with this lodge.
Sossus Dune Lodge review
Pricey for the value, but travelers have no other choice! We had two wheel drive car, so we had to depend on the shuttle to take us to the dunes.
They told us to park at the 2wd car park and wait for the shuttle which will come by around 6:15am, in time for the sunrise. They didn't come till 6:45am, way AFTER the sun rose by the time we get to the dunes! The shuttle driver claimed that he was not contacted by the Dune lodge to take us up there. Who knows what's the truth. It is annoying to spend that much money and stay in the park, THEN MISS THE SUNRISE.
We were also given a room stuck behind a pile of rocks, while there were other empty rooms in the lodge.
Sossus Dune Lodge in the National Park
Superbly designed and constructed spacious and clean chalets, very private with stunning views and game wandering past the deck. We sat for many hours on the deck with binoculars just watching. The lounge/bar/restaurant were excellent as was the food. The staff were very friendly and helpful although the bar service was sometimes a little slow.
We went on a sundowner drive to the dunes with a really good guide, who was extremely informative in respect of the location and also in respect of Namibian life. The three of us were lucky enough to have the desert to ourselves that evening! This enthused us to get up early and make our own trip to watch sunrise the next day.
Perfect location and ambiance
Relaxing and very spiritual. Guides were excellent and whole experience a great joy
Read more about the whole safarisossus Dune Lodge
Ideally placed to visit dunes before dawn. We did this each morning twice in our own vehicle and once using the Lodge tour. We also had a lodge tour in the afternoon to Sossus Vlei when it is much quieter.
The Lodge vehicles work out at about £45 per person but I felt they were worth it for a hassle free ride through deep sand. Service in the Lodge was much improved from when the Lodge opened and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. We had packed breakfasts each day which were fine..
The only inconvenience is the long journey from the farthest rooms to the main buildings.
Sossus Dune Lodge review
The lodge was beautiful, nice big spacious rooms and lovely setting. Location was stunning, and meant we could come back after sunset. We were a little chilly at night, and some extra blankets would have been good.
The restaurant staff were very slow, and the food wasn't very special, but nor was it inedible.
Sossus Dune Lodge review
We booked here to be inside the park for access to the dunes at sunrise and sunset, which was a huge advantage. We were pleasantly surprised by how good the lodge was. Excellent food and friendly staff. Good rooms, although ours was a tediously long walk from the central facilities.
Sossus Dune Lodge could however benefit from better management. While the staff were helpful, they did not appear well managed, as we found on several occasions, including when trying to find somebody to let us check out when we left.
A very peaceful camp inside the National Park
Although there are 24 rooms, there were only four occupied during our three night stay, which meant it was very peaceful.
Comfortable large room with great views towards the dunes. Food was good and cheerfully presented. We felt that a bit more attention to detail would have made our stay even better.

Adios Amigos (and VA SPURS)
Today, I ended my holiday break in a very chilly San Antonio. Sorry for the obnoxious title but basketball season is in full throttle and the spurs are my team.(!!!!) Not really, but everyone loves to say that here and rep the spurs with flags and stickers on their cars. Gotta admire that pride, huh? Anyways back to the important stuff, I am feeling very excited but anxious about the next five months. I can't believe the first leg of my journey is already here and about to ...
Visiting Friends
... mmm enchiladas. Then Evan and I went for a walk downtown and poked around the Alamo a few shops and along the river walk. Then we headed to the Shambhala Meditation Centre to practice together. Morgan met up with us at the centre and we went out for dinner. I tried fish and shrimp tacos quite good! Then a jazz band started playing so overall good food, good music and good conversation! I'm glad I made time to connect with friends ...
Day 2 San Antonio to Gonzales, Texas (Friday)
... setting off a cacophony of jungle screeches and roars. Interesting... After that, we had to visit the Alamo (recalling the show F-Troop from our childhood - "remember the Alamo!"). This was originally a mission, later used as a military fortress where brave Texans, well outnumbered, fought off the invading Mexican Army, and lost. Jim Bowie and Davy Crockett both died in the Battle of Alamo. By then, it was late afternoon and time for our own battle ...
Slow Beginnings
... most to us was SHARP (Sexual harassment/assault) training. We watched a video about harassment that was extremely funny as well as informative, and learned that "our sexual perpetrator could be sitting to the left or right of us" (to a room of mostly female nurses). We had alcohol training where we watched videos of drunk guys doing stupid things, but also learning about different drugs/drinks that are banned by the military. ...
83. Yeehaw Mexican Cowboy!
... and those who fought for it. There were a fair few cowboys there too, little boys dressed up just like their Dad, in checked shirt, jeans, boots, and cowboy hat. Too cute.
All in all, it was a relaxing and enjoyable day (aside from the wee driving incident in the morning) in a nice city. Texas is off to a good start.

From an editorial published Thursday in the Washington Post:
Down on the farm, the latest news is the battle over dairy policy that thwarts passage of a new five-year package of federal subsidies for agriculture and the nutrition aid for low-income families that is attached to the bill. The conflict pits the Democratic-majority Senate, which wants to boost dairy farm incomes in part by limiting milk supplies, against the Republican-led House, whose leader, Speaker John A. Boehner of Ohio, calls the Senate approach Soviet-style. This story of partisan bickering true enough as far as it goes does not quite do justice to the wasteful absurdity of the entire dairy-subsidy effort.
Start with the fact that dairy farmers are beseeching Congress now to undo damage that Congress did through past efforts to aid corn farmers specifically, mandating the addition of vast quantities of corn-based ethanol to the nations fuel supply. This forced dairy farmers to compete with ethanol producers for grain to feed their cows. Grain prices have shot up over the past half-decade or so and become more volatile. With their operating margins shrinking, dairy farmers ran to Capitol Hill even though the government already had helped them to the tune of $5.3 billion between 1995 and 2012.
The House and the Senate obliged; each bodys version of the farm bill contains a new margin insurance program that pays farmers when the difference between their operating income and their operating costs goes below a certain amount. Unlike previous safety net programs, however, this one would cover large-scale, high-income producers; farms with more than 1,000 cows would get 36 to 43 percent of the benefits, as opposed to 6 percent under current law, according to the University of Minnesota Food Policy Research Center. How this helps mom-and-pop operations in the long term is not obvious.
The Senate would add a market stabilization program to margin insurance. Basically, farmers who participate in the latter would agree to curtail production at times of low margins in return for full benefits. The goal, of course, is to reduce supply when farmers margins are low, drive up prices and help producers at less cost to the government. This is the provision Mr. Boehner decries as Soviet economics though it might be more accurate to call it a federally sponsored cartel.
The industrys real problem is that it has become phenomenally efficient at producing huge quantities of a substance Americans no longer want as much as they used to: per-capita consumption of fluid milk is down 30 percent since 1975. The Agriculture Department expects that to continue. Congress can write all the farm bills it wants, but it cant repeal the law of supply and demand.

Definition of Glandular feverGlandular fever: Glandular fever is infectious mononucleosis. "Mono" and "kissing disease" are popular terms for this very common illness caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). By the time most people reach adulthood, an antibody against EBV can be detected in their blood meaning they have been infected with EBV. The illness is less severe in young children. The infection can be spread by saliva. The incubation period for "mono" is 4 to 8 weeks. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands. "Mono" can cause liver inflammation (hepatitis) and spleen enlargement. Vigorous contact sports should be avoided to prevent spleen rupture.

Other than that, they could at least try to give the Grass types a dual typing for once. The only Grass type starter I can recall being a dual-typed one was Bulbasaur. From there on out they've just been plain and boring
View original post
Torterra is Grass/Ground. You can argue that none of the starters when you first receive them are dual-type but with that in effect the
starter that had been a dual-type when you first receive it is Bulbasaur. Everyone else gain their second typing upon evolution.
That said, I'll simply agree with typings. At least with Fire/Fighting. If sixth generation has a fire/fighting Starter I'm going to cry. Or rather, fighting in general. It would be nice to see a typing that hasn't been on a starter before on a starter. Grass/Fire/Water is fine by me; just the dual typing need to be more original every now and then.

Aereo, the Internet TV start-up backed by the media company run by billionaire Barry Diller, has raised $38 million and will expand to 22 US cities including Chicago, Houston and Miami.
Business | Media and Marketing
US web TV start-up to ramp up coverage to 22 cities
Tapping into a rich funding vein for the expansion
Diller is chairman of IAC, which led the latest investment round along with Highland Capital Partners. This is its biggest funding round to date. It previously raised $20.5 million last February in a round led by IAC.
Aereo was launched last March to New York-area subscribers for $12 per month. It lets subscribers stream live broadcasts of TV channels on phones, tablet computers and other devices using individual antennas. Users can watch the major broadcast networks such as CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, the CW, PBS, Telemundo and other channels.
The TV industry sees the service as a threat to its ability to control subscription fees and generate advertising income, its two main sources of revenue.
Aereo said in a statement that the 22-city expansion is the first phase of its national expansion. Philadelphia, Washington, Denver, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Tampa and Cleveland are among some of the new cities Aereo will reach. Aereo has not disclosed revenue or user numbers.
Before Aereo's launch, broadcasters including Walt Disney Co's ABC, CBS Corp, Comcast Corp's NBCUniversal and News Corp's Fox filed lawsuits accusing it of copyright violations.
In November, broadcasters challenged an earlier decision by a US district court that rejected their request for a preliminary ban against Aereo. Aereo is waiting for a decision in that case, a spokeswoman said in an e-mail.

You should start work more on the brushes and maybe try make it more invisible that you've taken a picture into the backgrounds, it's kind of very visible of these. Also you HAVE to work on the text's, I can't read any of them. Try use a different font and maybe make some sort of border around the text with a different colour to make it more visible?
I like your latest the one with yuna, the brushes looks good but still this font problem and you should try zoom in when you are earising it's older background.

A 37-year-old Helenville woman died after her vehicle hit a tree in an early-morning crash last week in the Town of Waukesha.
The crash occurred at 12:15 a.m. March 26 when the woman's vehicle hit the tree head-on on Merrill Hills Road, south of Kame Terrace.
According to Lt. Bryan Ulm of the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, the car had severe front-end damage, and the driver, the lone occupant, was found unresponsive and trapped in the car.
She was pronounced dead at the scene, Ulm said in a news release.
The initial investigation indicates the car was traveling northbound on Merrill Hills Road and after cresting a hill, it appears the driver failed to negotiate the slight right curve and crossed the southbound lane, left the roadway and struck the large tree, Ulm said.
The crash remains under investigation by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.
