SO-CALLED "consumer" credit regulation is an area of law which businesses cannot afford to ignore.
Lots of businesses overlook the UK Consumer Credit regime on the basis that "we don't deal with consumers. We only deal with other businesses, so it's nothing to do with us".
Admittedly, the title of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 is confusing, but it does apply to dealings with some businesses as well as with consumers.
For example, your business will need to consider the consumer credit regime if you provide loans, or offer instalment payments or hire goods to individuals (including sole traders), to partnerships with three or fewer partners, or to unincorporated associations (such as social clubs and societies).
In most cases, it does not matter if you offer these credit facilities interest-free or if your business does not normally enter into those types of arrangements; your business can still be caught by consumer credit laws.
This is too important to ignore as non-compliance poses a significant risk to your business. This is because providing or arranging consumer credit without a licence from the Office of Fair Trading is a criminal offence and can result in a fine and/or imprisonment.
In addition, businesses cannot enforce credit agreements if they are not licensed to provide consumer credit, which means that they may not be able to get their goods or their money back from the debtor.
Furthermore, credit agreements are heavily regulated. In order to be enforceable, consumer credit agreements must contain certain information, they must be set out in particular way and there are various procedural formalities relating to the way in which they are formed which must be followed.
Many loans, instalment payments and hire agreements will be caught by the consumer credit regime. However, there are various exemptions which might apply to your agreements. For example, business credit over a certain sum or credit extended to high net worth individuals might be exempt but in order for the exemptions themselves to apply, certain formalities must be followed.
The consumer credit regime also impacts on other ancillary credit services such as introducing people to credit, debt counselling and debt adjusting, so it is important to work up an awareness of those implications.
Consumer credit is a highly technical and heavily regulated area of law. If you are in any doubt about whether or not the regime applies to you, you need to find out.

3 year old hitting
I need help with my 3 year old daughter. She has been hitting my husband and I out of frustration and/or anger. In the past we have gently held her arms and said "we don't hit in this house, when you are ready to not hit I will let you go." And then we offer a hug instead of her hitting. But the behavior continues. I have read so many parenting books and they all suggest empathy and teaching children to identify their feelings. We have tried that too. Saying "i Know you are really angry right now because of XYZ, but hitting hurts and it is not allowed." The behavior still continues. I am at a loss. Sometimes it makes me so mad I want to just send her to her room and tell her not to come out until she decides not to hit. But I feel like that is acting out of anger. Please help. I am at a loss.
Perhaps your daughter could use some other outlets for her anger and frustration. When used with a time out alone in her room she may be able to manage her anger better. You could give her a special doll or plush to talk to when she is angry, or a special box of crayons and paper for her to use draw her angry feelings and then to throw away the drawing along with her anger when she feels she is free of it. I don't think that sending her to her room with a loving direction that she needs some time alone to work out her anger is a bad strategy at all, it depends on how you do it - not as a punishment or in your own fit of anger, but to show her that you have confidence that she can work out a better solution than hitting if she has the space and privacy to do so.
You can also try to explain to her that everyone gets angry but adults manage it by talking and doing sport and hobbies, so hitting is a natural impulse that everyone struggles with sometimes. I'm not a fan of restraining a child unless it's absolutely critical. I suspect it may escalate the frustration. So you seem to be phasing away from that anyway. You and your husband may want to discuss why she hits him. Maybe their relationship could use some work? It's worth exploring. Hang in there! |
She is getting a lot of attention and hugs for hitting. You are inadvertently conditioning your child to hit, reinforcing the hitting behavior. I don't know if you have read Alfie Kohn's Unconditional Parenting, but it left the impression with some parents that praise was required to condition a child whereas in fact attention and hugs are also reinforcers and often more powerful than praise.
Give her attention, hugs, face-time, and discussion (discussion of how opposite is appreciated and admired by you, not discussion of hitting) for doing the opposite: being civil, nice, kind, or use the words that are best for you. Time to calm down and regain her composure so she can be kind to others that pumabearclan recommends is not really a punishment. But, if you use it, call it something like "calming time" or something positive rather than "time to work out your anger". It's better to focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. But it might be more effective to just walk away from her when she hits. |
our four year old went through a phase of this when he was three as well. It was beyond frustrating. There were days I wondered if it would ever stop and if our approach was at all effective as he just kept doing it when he would get frustrated. I will say that he has almost stopped doing this. He still has some days where we see this. But it helped me tremendously to know this is quite common in some kids at this age and I wasn't alone.
What I have put together from the last year is that for our son, the hitting was always present when he had some big feelings to deal with and he didn't know how, so this is how it would come out. When I started trying to help him with these feelings rather than just try to stop the behaviour, we got a lot farther. In the moment, I would tell him it's not ok to hit, get the situation under control. Then I would make the observation that something must be bothering him for him to act this way. He couldn't tell me for the longest time what was upsetting him, so I'd start guessing. I could tell when I'd hit the nail on the head as his whole body would change from wound up to relaxed. We would talk about what was bothering him, which usually involved me naming it for him and explaining the situation a bit more so he didn't have to be as anxious or angry about it. And usually that settled things for him for the rest of the day. Now we take things a bit further by expecting him to verbalize what's going on for him. He is starting to be able to do this often, but not always. We help when he needs the help with this. Sometimes I think he just tells us something but there's more going on, so again we start guessing what it could be. I'm not sure our approach is ideal as my son went through a period where he would almost excuse his behaviour by saying something was upsetting him. But we continue with this train of conversation by explaining its ok to feel a certain way but the hitting isn't an ok way to deal with it. He's coming around. I find I tend to do sort of a time out when he acts up these days - I pull him out of the situation and we sit for a minimum of four minutes. if he keeps hitting, I increase the time by a minute for every hit. We spend the time sitting, I don't interact much with him but encourage him to spend the time sitting with his feelings (We have a book Ahn's Anger where the child sits with his anger so we find ourselves using some of this same lingo. He likes this book). I do stay with him in the chair so it doesn't turn into a game of him trying to get out of the chair, and I think having a parent with him helps him. We do chat about the situation a bit once he's calm and we have begun strongly encouraging him to find ways of making the situation right again, by apologizing or showing some sort of affection toward the person he upset or hurt. So for us, it's been a process. I can say we have seen an improvement. good luck! |

Since we delivered our first Cloud Servers iPhone app in September 2009, a lot has changed. Tens of millions of iPhones were sold in 2010 and it seemed everyone wanted an iPad for Christmas.
Today, we are excited to announce new updates of our popular Rackspace Cloud Application for iPhone/ iPod Touch and Rackspace Cloud Pro for iPad.
Whether you are on a beach in Maui or traveling for business, these applications allow you to easily and quickly administer your Cloud Servers and Cloud Files on the go. They are not yet a complete replacement for our browser-based control panel or APIs, but these apps allow customers some powerful remote administration capabilities.
To download the app, go here.
Rackspace Cloud Pro is an iPad app published by Rackspace that offers an alternative to the web control panel at manage.rackspacecloud.com. It offers most of the functionality of the Cloud Servers API and some of the functionality of the Cloud Files API. For a list of features, click on the following link.
What's New in Version 1.1.1?
Chef Bootstrapping – In the Settings section of the app, there is now the option to turn on Chef Integration. With this enabled, users will be able to provide a Chef run list when creating a Cloud Server. The server will automatically install Chef and attempt to install and configure its software based on the run list. The following is a video demo of Chef Integration in action:
A detailed explanation of what Chef is and what it does is available at link.
Configurable API Endpoints – On the login screen, there are now three fields: user name, API Key, and Authentication API Endpoint. The endpoint defaults to the US endpoint: https://auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0
UK Cloud users should change this to: https://lon.auth.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0

What's New in Version 1.3?
Configurable API Endpoints – In the iPhone Settings application, there is an API Endpoint field in the Rackspace section. US and UK Cloud users should use the aforementioned endpoints.
Enjoy these updates and know that we will continue to update our iOS Apps and innovate new features to add to your Cloud experience. Stay tuned!
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Kelly Goolsby. Kelly Goolsby said: RT @rackcloud: "@jimbattenberg: Rackspace Cloud iPhone and iPad Apps updated for UK and with Chef http://t.co/BLtrITO" |Thanks @greenisus! […]
Will the Chef bootstapping be available in the web-based control panel sometime soon?
I'm not sure, but it's definitely doable by the Cloud Servers API using the file injection technique. That's how the iPad app does it.
Will there be apps for Android as well?
There is an app for Cloud Servers in the Android Market already. It will be updated in the future to include the features from the iPhone app.
is this work on iphone 4 as well?
where do I go for support on this?
the ipad app crashes everytime on login… is brand new ipad on 4.2
does the company need overflow servers, that i could set up
I have a US and UK Rackspace Cloud account, is there/will there be a facility to add multiple accounts with different API endpoints?
Yes, there will be! Version 2.0 is coming on March 11 and it will allow you to have as many accounts as you want on as many Rackspace Cloud / OpenStack endpoints as you want.

CPUCentral Processing Unit: the silicon chip at the centre of a computer system.
CPU technology have brought the desktop and laptop much closer together in terms of power and performance. Modern laptops can happily run a recording studio, or be used as a performance instrument in a live situation. For recording on the move or on location, the advantages are clear. However, the emphasis with laptop design is on small size and low power consumption, and this brings performance compromises: typically, hard drives are slower, DDRDouble Data Rate memory is the standard RAM used in most computers. DDR can read data on both the rise and fall of the computer's system clock cycle, where older SDRAM could only transfer data on the rise.
RAM is slower, and the connections between components are not so efficient, so you will never achieve the level of performance that you'll find in a similarly specified desktop computer. If you are planning to work on the move, something else to consider is battery life: manufacturers figures of 4, 5 or even 6 hours plus are normally based on light usage or running on standby; but if youre recording, mixing or performing, then the laptop will be working very hard indeed. 1-2 hours is a more realistic time to think about being away from a plug socket, and even less if your laptop is powering a USBUniversal Serial Bus: a system for connecting low-to-mid speed computer peripherals which has largely replaced a variety of competing serial connection standards. USB allows up to 127 devices (in theory) to be connected in series, and exists in two variants: USB1 (12Mbps) and USB (480Mbps). USB ports are backwards-compatible, but connecting a USB1 device will limit all devices on that port to the slower speed.
USB AudioGenerally used to mean "sound"; technically it describes periodic fluctuations of air pressure or electrical energy at frequencies and amplitudes within the human range of hearing; sound, or electrical energy that represents sound; acoustic, mechanical, or electrical frequencies corresponding to normally audible sound waves.
audio InterfaceA device enabling the connection of two or more devices, or types of devices. Examples include MIDI interfaces, for connecting MIDI equipment to a computer, and audio interfaces.
interface. WindowsA family of computer operating systems developed by Microsoft, using a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in which software programs display visual information, images, text and other data in independent screen areas ('windows') which may be moved and re-sized independently.
Windows laptops also tend to be more prone to compatibility issues. EffectsGeneral term applied to audio processors for dynamics, time, ambience and equalisation whether in the form of 19" rack units, guitar floor pedals, or software plug-ins.

The day before they had kicked some demon ass and therefore, the next day was a free one, where they could do anything they wanted. And besides making out with his girlfriend, he couldn't think of anything amazing he could do.
And with the demon count quite low at the moment, he had a lot of free time at the moment. So, what did one do with such freedom? Have a house party of course.

The house party hadn't turned out quite as well as he wanted. It mainly consisted of a bored looking Isabelle flipping through a gossip magazine on the large sofa, beside her sat Maia, who was playing with a braid, her combat covered feet propped up on the arms of the sofa while her hand was stuffed in the bowl of ready salted crisps.

Not the misguided shadowhunter that had faced the tragedies and lies of life; and he looked gorgeous to Clary. She dropped her head back onto his chest and moved closers towards him as she could feel the warmth of his breath on her forehead.

The loud drumming of her heart drowned out her ears. She had been standing outside the weapons room for over twenty minutes just wondering what he would think and how to tell him.

This could possibly be the worst time to someone this but she had to do it.

Clary sat on her bed, shock covered her face and ran through her body. She felt numb and alone, her whole life had been turned upside down in a week. Not even bothering to change into her pajamas she turned off her light and curled into a ball on her bed.
Her mother, missing.

"Isn't it obvious? I never thought Jace would've agreed to this." Clary just stood there, where was Jace? She wondered, he was here only a moment ago.

With that Clary headed towards the door without looking back to Isabelle.

You goth-tastic my dark friend. Alec chuckled, covering his mouth. Jace glared at him, mock laughing. Keep it up and the free beer will not be shared. Alec gasped. You wouldnt! Jace smirked and stalked into the crowd without another word.

Happy EndingsJace sat on the train listening to the 'click, click, clack' of the trains wheels on the steel tracks. He was on his way home from a demon job just outside of the city. He wanted to go home and see his family; Clary, and 2 children Arriane and James-or also know as Jamie. Arriane was only 7, and Jamie was 2. And, with Jace at 36, and Clary at 35, they were still energetic to keep up with the kids and their crazy hours.Happy Endings3 years ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
Jace was ecstatic when Clary told him she was pregnant with Arriane, and then again with Jamie. Arriane was born with his golden hair, and Clary's piercing green eyes. Arriane was more like her father in some ways. Example, his short attention span. Jamie had strawberry-blonde hair, and Jace's golden eyes. And Jamie was more like his mother.
Arriane wanted to come with Jace when he went on a demon job, but he said she was too young, and the demon's he was with were very bad and dangerous ones. He'd always tell her when she's older, she could come, and then she
Mortal Instruments Idol Jace lounged on the couch, flicking through the channels. He heard Isabelle's voice from the shower, and like always it rung perfectly with the music that faintly played along with her. He was annoyed that Isabelle could sing like that, and more annoyed that it was in the shower of all places.Mortal Instruments Idol4 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
There had been ads across town for American Idol and Jace had mulled over the idea of getting Isabelle in the competition. He wanted to show her he could sing also and maybe get the smug winning of her crying. It took a lot of stress to get her to lash out and cry.
The shower died off and Isabelle padded out and across the living room, into her bedroom and shutting the door. There was rummaging around and she immerged several minutes later in Fancy sweat pants and a tight tank. She plopped down on the couch beside him, grabbing the remote from Jace's hands and changing the channel to Australia's Next Top Model. She sunk down slightly, ripping the remote i

Returned from this lovely hotel a few days ago. For the vacationing family with 2 children 7 and 8 years old. The location is excellent, very close to the historical centre. All in close availability - market, children's playgrounds, a big Park area, a cafe, where you can have a bite. Also enjoyed the room, which was equipped with all necessary. The children really liked the shower. The number itself is decorated with a romantic style. Clean bed linen and towels, comfortable beds. Week of our s - Anonymous
Brilliant position right on the best square in the city. Ask for a room overlooking the square on floor four or above and you have a fantastic view of the fountain both day and night.

Location for beach was ideal. 2 mins walk away from the beach, and beach side restaurants. Good transport system into the city centre, the no. 19 bus takes you all the way for €1.50 otherwise taxis are easy to flag down.

I had a very good time when living in Melia Valencia. I think this 4 stars hotel is the best one that I have ever lived at the same level so far and it is a good budget-friendly hotel compared with the same level hotel.

Newly decorated rooms with sufficient space and particularly comfortable shower.

Fireman Ed's Gesture to Mark Sanchez
Posted by Erik Manassy on Sep 10, 2012 in Main, Player Tweets | 1 comment
About a Month ago in Canton Ohio, I confirmed what I already knew, Fireman Ed was going to change his infamous #42 Jersey to #6 to support Mark Sanchez for the 2012 season. The information was burning a hole because I was sworn to secrecy from the man himself, Fireman Ed Anzalone.
Fireman Ed had gave a hint a month before that moment simply stating on the Hargz and Carter podcast that he was going to do something to support Mark this season. I put out a tweet saying that I believed #42 was going to be replaced. I didn't get any reaction or reply from Ed so I let it die knowing that I was going to eventually find out if I was right.
That hot summer day in Canton Ohio at the Hall of Fame minutes before the ceremonies were going to begin, I met up with Fireman Ed for a couple of brews and to talk Jets football. As everyone was getting settled in, I turned to Ed and said, "Hey, so was I right with my tweet? Are you going 6?". He pulled me aside and said "OFF THE RECORD, and I'll kill you if you leak it, Yes you got it right". Hey Ed, I kept my promise.
This tweet popped out a day before the Sunday opener against the Bills.
FiremanEd42 If there is or was any question on my support of #6 Mark Sanchez, there won't b after tommorrow! #42 is in my heart and NOW so is #6 #truth 9/8/12 9:11 PM |
I was fired up because think about it. This is sending a message to the world that one of the biggest known Jets fans is making a bold statement that he believes in the QB everyone is trying to doubt. Mark really proved the doubters wrong in this early season by probably playing the best game of his career for a regular season.
Don't think Fireman Ed was fired up yesterday. After the game, he put this out:
FiremanEd42 Clowns, will show u Clowns! One game, anybody thought we weren't in the mix think again. Where in the mix! POW! POW! #jets united POW! 9/9/12 8:42 PM |
http://twitter.com/07shari22 shari white
Fireman Ed makes me proud to be a Jets fan. His chant is and always will be music to my ears! As for Sanchez led the Jets, yesterday they set a franchise record for points scored in a season opener. Something tells me this is the start of something good!

Artistry, technique, and creativity dominate the curriculum at The Center for Contemporary Dance. The nonprofit organization is supported by the United Arts of Central Florida and its instructors—many of whom have credentials spanning decades of professional dance—adhere to the National Standards for Dance Education. Mindful of these standards, they stage classical, contemporary and world dance classes for adults, teens, and kids. Their facility features two air-conditioned studios, each outfitted with a sound system, sprung wooden flooring, and mirrored walls so that people can flirt with themselves using their new dance moves. In addition to fostering the future of dance, The Center for Contemporary Dance celebrates movement's current state by producing a new season of dance performances each year.
Teaching hips to swivel to new circumferences, dance instructors impart their masterful moves unto students in the respected tradition Arthur Murray schools have upheld since 1912. Students can bring a partner to their lessons or fly solo and dance with the instructor. Protégés may find their new moves applicable in a number of settings, such as when prepping for a wedding dance or when blending into an airport crowd that breaks out in the cha-cha. Embodying the three-count time of a stately waltz brings partners in close, and rumba moves or swing steps add vibrancy and playfulness to a repertoire.
The Orlando studio provides a warm, aesthetically sound environment for engaging in private and group dance lessons. The full class schedule is well suited to teaching feet to slice and dice a rug until it is no longer recognizable.
The Hershey Theatre, conceived in 1933 by noted philanthropist and chocolatier Milton S. Hershey, stands as an opulent tribute to the performing arts. Taking architectural cues from Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice, the foyer's towering arches gleam with golden paint and crystal chandeliers. The blue-and-gold mosaic that leads to the main seating area is the masterwork of two German artists who spent two years on its construction. Once inside the theater, audiences might think they've stepped onto the streets of Venice thanks to the atmospheric ceiling, stonework facades, and gondoliers paddling them to their seats. ####Bethel Woods Center for the Arts Music has permeated the 800 manicured acres where the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts has stood since 1969, when farmer Max Yasgur agreed to let love, peace, and harmony grow wild at the very first Woodstock festival. These days, the renowned outdoor venue and cultural center continues to attract the biggest acts in music to its pavilion stage. The open-air design ensures ample ventilation on the natural sloping lawn, and a roof protects up to 15,000 fans from inclement weather and the prying eyes of Cessna pilots.
Melanie LaJoie's dance career began almost three decades ago and has since taken her to Morocco, Egypt, and Russia, where she developed her expertise in an impressive number of ethnic dance traditions. Today, she directs the instructors at A Magi Temple Belly Dance and choreographs and performs pieces at local sites such as Universal Studios, Walt Disney World, and the House of Blues. Her students, who can include ladies age 10 and up, learn everything from warm-up exercises to routines in Bollywood, belly-dancing, and flamenco classes scheduled five days per week.
Established in 2007, Pulse Performance Studio is a performing arts school offering classes to students of all ages and levels in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, drama, voice, flamenco, and contemporary styles. With and award winning company and a professional staff, Pulse has become E. Orlando's best school of performing arts
Legendary rock icon and influential multi-instrumentalist Edgar Winter struts his decades of musical savvy as his latest tour rollicks generations of fans. A child prodigy, Winter has built a long-lasting career on imagination and inimitable virtuosity. Famous for such classic-rock staples as "Tobacco Road," "Free Ride" and the hummable No. 1 hit "Frankenstein," the performer left his forever stamp on popular music by pioneering the use of keyboard body straps, synthesizers, and solar-powered kazoos in his live shows. Winter whisks away audiences on an electrifying trip through his oeuvre, hitting all the hits and running through genres with no regard for the genre guard.

By Jeff Mason
HONOLULU (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has set his New Year's
resolution high for 2011: repair the struggling economy.
In his weekly radio and Internet address on Saturday, the vacationing
president said recent data showed the economic recovery was gaining
traction even as millions of Americans are still out of work.
"Our most important task now is to keep that recovery going," Obama said.
"As president, that's my commitment to you: to do everything I can to make
sure our economy is growing, creating jobs, and strengthening our middle
class. That's my resolution for the coming year."
Unemployment of nearly 10 percent and dissatisfaction with Obama's efforts
to spur an economic recovery from the worst recession in decades helped
fuel Republican victories in congressional elections in November.
Republicans will control the House of Representatives this year and
Democrats will have a smaller majority in the Senate, a new political
reality that will affect Obama's ability to push through his policy
The president, who forged a deal with Republicans to extend Bush-era tax
cuts in the waning days of 2010, sought to strike a bipartisan note in his
"In a few days, a new Congress will form, with one house controlled by
Democrats, and one house controlled by Republicans -- who now have a
shared responsibility to move this country forward," he said.
"I'm willing to work with anyone of either party who's got a good idea and
the commitment to see it through."
One area where Democrats and Republicans will be challenged to work
together is on deficit and debt reduction.
Senator-elect Kelly Ayotte, a Republican from New Hampshire, said her
party was ready to spearhead that effort.
"Congress must get serious about meaningful debt reduction," she said in
the weekly Republican address.
"This isn't a Republican problem or a Democrat problem -- it's an American
problem that will require tough decision-making from both parties.
Republicans are ready to lead that fight."
Obama, who arrives back in Washington on Tuesday, will have a new top
economic adviser soon to help navigate the country's economic challenges.
He is expected to name a replacement shortly for Larry Summers, who held
the job for the first two years of his presidency.
With Republicans gearing up for the 2012 presidential race, worries about
the economy and U.S. deficit are likely to take center stage in the
process of finding a candidate to challenge Obama, who is expected to run
for a second White House term.
Ayotte signaled that Republicans would take credit for the deal with Obama
to extend tax relief as one key ingredient in boosting economic growth.
"With millions of Americans unemployed or under-employed, we must work
quickly to jumpstart our economy," she said.
"The successful Republican effort to prevent any income tax hikes on
families and small businesses over the next two years was an important
first step."

New book: 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out
Edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott
Olive Branch Press (Interlink Books)
Pre-pub Review (more follow…)
"This is the most important book of our time. Distinguished national and international scientists and scholars present massive evidence that The 9/11 Commission Report is a hoax and that the 9/11 "terrorist attack" has been manipulated to serve a hegemonic agenda in the Middle East. The book's call for a truly independent panel of experts to be empowered to bring out the true facts must be heeded or Americans will never again live under accountable government." — Paul Craig Roberts, Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury during the Reagan administration
1. 9/11, the American Empire, and Common Moral Norms
David… Continue reading
by Reprehensor
NINE-ONE-ONE — This three number combination is etched into the public psyche and instantly conjures up images of America's most recent Day of Infamy. The images of chaos and terror were speedily delivered via satellite to anyone near a television set. At first, these images burst into the minds of the TV audience without context, but television viewers were not left long to worry their beautiful minds with troublesome questions like: "Who perpetrated these crimes?"
The narrative vacuum was quickly filled by the "official" story. This version of the events of 9/11 is forever enshrined in the volume known as The 9/11 Commission Report.
Proceeding apace with the development of the official story was an entire universe of unofficial stories. These alternative points of view were helpfully framed by President George Walker Bush on November 10th, 2001:
"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty." (1)
More than a few watching the President address the UN that day were puzzled by the phrase "outrageous conspiracy theories" regarding 9/11. As they logged on to their dial-up Internet connections that evening, trying to understand what the President was talking about, they were privy to the nascent chatter that over time has morphed into a kaleidoscope of alternative narratives, fueled by 9/11 skepticism.
As new… Continue reading
Bullshit Artist: The 9/11 Leadership Myth (Paperback)
by Ron Schalow
(From BUZZFLASH REVIEWS; republished here under fair-use provisions)
Subtitled "America was under attack for 102 minutes and for 102 minutes the president did nothing: How George W. Bush turned his pathetic performance on 9/11 into political gold," this book certainly caught our attention.
This 312-page compilation of the Bush crew's totally inept performance on 9/11 — including their failure to take a single action to prevent it from occurring even when warned — was fascinating even to the eyes of jaded 'ol BuzzFlash, who monitored the news reports of 9/11 as it happened.
Part of the attraction of "Bullshit Artist: The 9/11 Leadership Myth" is that its citizen-author, Ron Schalow of North Dakota, mixes fact with sardonic commentary and a playful layout. Can it be fun finding out how the Bush Administration is incompetent? Well yeah, in a sort of "all hail to the dunce" perverse sort of way.
May 11, 2006: The latest book about 9/11 documents the actions of the president and the formal civilian and military leadership before and during the attacks. They were AWOL. According to the review in Buzzflash.com, author Ron Schalow is not alone in believing the administration displayed an awesome incompetence and negligence, failing to stop a preventable attack and allowing a far worse tragedy on the day itself. These views happen to correspond to the frontier of acceptable opinion. In considering the same data, we arrive at… Continue reading

The Big Wedding: 9/11, the Whistle-Blowers and the Cover-Up
by Sander Hicks
Vox Pop, 2005
180 pages, $14.00
Includes Index, Over 100 Footnotes, and Bibliography
The term "conspiracy theory," with the image it invokes of a cabal of black-hearted men who convene on a regular basis to consolidate their power, reduces alternate history to a cartoon. By using it to discredit, however, journalists only reveal how inadequate their inability to untangle webs the powerful weave makes them feel.
One who's undaunted by the degree of difficulty is Sander Hicks, who endeavors to shed new light on events leading up to 9/11 mostly through meetings with, if not remarkable men, remarkable maniacs. In fact, his book, The Big Wedding, named after Al Qaeda code for 9/11, could just as easily be called "My Adventures Covering the Terror Beat."
The first portrait in his rogues' gallery is Randy Glass, an informant for an ATF/FBI terrorist sting. Pre-9/11, he dined out in Manhattan with a Pakistani arms dealer, who, gesturing toward the World Trade Center, exclaimed, "Those towers are coming down."
"The 9/11 Commission Report," Hicks concludes, "has topped the Warren Report…as the greatest cover-up of all time."
A State Department official told Glass they were aware of bin Laden's plans. But to keep Pakistani President Musharraf and his nuclear arsenal in their corner, they were banking on his guarantee that he could stop the attack. After all, as Hicks maintains, where Al Qaeda ends,… Continue reading

January 18, 2005 (FTW) – In an argument of over 600 pages and 1,000 footnotes, Crossing the Rubicon makes the case for official complicity within the U.S. government and names Dick Cheney as the prime suspect in the crimes of 9/11. Since the publication of this book (to which I had the privilege of contributing a chapter), many people have asked to hear the case against Cheney argued "short & sweet."
I will make it as short as possible, but it can never be sweet.
There are 3 major points made within this book that are crucial to proving Cheney's guilt. I shall first list them and then go on to prove each point as laid out in Crossing the Rubicon.

"The most persuasive argument I have seen for further investigation of the Bush administration's relationship to that historic and troubling event." – Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States
"It will be painful, and disturbing, to turn the pages of this thoughtful and meticulously researched book. But turn we must. For we owe the truth to those who died, and nothing less." — Colleen Kelly, sister of Bill Kelly, Jr., who was killed in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11, and Co-Founder of September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows.
About the book
From a skeptical vantage-point, but also taking to heart the classic idea that those who benefit from a crime ought to at least be investigated, Griffin, an eminent philosopher and theologian, brings together an account of the national tragedy that is far more logical than the one we've been asked to believe. Gathering stories from the mainstream press, reports from other countries, the work of other researchers, and the contradictory words of members of the Bush administration themselves, Griffin presents a case that leaves very little doubt that the attacks of 9/11 need to be further investigated.
The disturbing questions emerge from every part of the story, from every angle, until it is impossible not to seriously doubt the official story, and suspect its architects of enormous deception. Long a teacher of ethics and systematic theology, Griffin writes with compelling and passionate logic, urging readers to… Continue reading

The 9-11 Tragedy: Official Story, or Inside Job
Find out in this startling analysis by a leading investigative journalist. Order here
The official story about 9/11 is discredited. That is the sobering conclusion reached by millions of Americans, all across the political spectrum, who have sifted through the evidence uncovered by hundreds of independent researchers. Many honest citizens are now forced, with sadness and reluctance, to make an almost unthinkable inference: Powerful US officials must have had foreknowledge of the planned attacks, and then acted from the inside to:
Were the horrific events of September 11, 2001 truly an inside job? This book will help you decide for yourself. In this work, world-renowned conspiracy theorist Jim Marrs makes a compelling case that 9/11 marks the intersection of several conspiracies at once, each based on overlapping political agendas. Support for his thesis comes from this sampling of the many disturbing anomalies, cited by Marrs:
by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed
In the weeks before the 9/11 attacks, warnings poured in from the world's spy agencies, but U.S. officials did nothing. Instead, our intelligence agencies were reined in, air interceptors grounded, and the attacks exploited to launch a devastating war on Afghanistan. The results: a U.S. corporate takeover of Central Asia's oil and gas – a wealthier Bush family – and more censorship.
The War On Freedom is an explosive exposé that rips apart the veil of silence surrounding 9/11, and lets readers look at the facts for themselves.
Was the attack on America to open the door for a more aggressive U.S. foreign policy – and uncurbed surveillance of the American people? Compiled from hundreds of newspapers, experts and official documents, "The War On Freedom" is the definitive account of how and why America was attacked.

September Song
A Review of "The New Pearl Harbor"
By Marc Estrin
The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11
David Ray Griffin
Olive Branch Press, 2004
Paper, 214 pp, $15.00
The official story goes something like this:
With no actionable warning from intelligence agencies, four planes were hijacked by terrorists on the morning of September 11, 2001. Two crashed into the Word Trade Center, which then collapsed, and shortly thereafter, the third into the Pentagon. The last plane went down in Pennsylvania after a struggle between passengers and hijackers. Air defense arrived too late to stop the catastrophes. Responding to this attack on the homeland, the president declared a global war on terror which may last for generations until evil is finally eradicated, the security of America firmly established, and the world made safe for freedom and democracy.
In The New Pearl Harbor, David Ray Griffin compiles the evidence that every single assertion in the official story is implausible or impossible, and that something other must explain the inconsistencies and contra-factual assertions.
The implications of the accumulated evidence is that the Bush administration was complicit in the events of September 11th, and not merely a victim of structural problems or incompetence on the part of the intelligence establishment. In a nuanced discussion of "complicity", Griffin distinguishes eight possible levels, from the lying about events to maximize political ends, through intentionally allowing expected attacks, to actual involvement in the planning of them.
Griffin does not make specific accusations, nor does he hypothesize a "true" version of what happened. But he does demand unflinching investigations of all the contradictions, clear reporting of the results, and most difficult, a courageous drawing of conclusions, no matter how "unthinkable" or outrageous they may appear.
Excellent review of Griffin's tour de force by the intrepid Counterpunch crew, one of the few lefty journals willing to even look at that day.
In the months since the book was published, we have been swamped with news from the 9/11 Commission concerning both domestic and foreign intelligence which indicated a large and imminent attack on the United States. But the Commission, its members appointed by President Bush, is focusing on the future. According to Vice-Chair Lee Hamilton, "We're not interested in trying to assess blame…" Their goal is to understand what happened so as to restructure intelligence so that such "a breakdown" may not happen again. Given this limited mandate, almost none of the contradictions Griffin raises is likely to be discussed, or its ramifications analyzed before the case is closed.
The first part of The New Pearl Harbor looks in detail at the timeline and events of 9/11 itself. How is it, Griffin asks, that even the first airplane was not intercepted — given standard procedures, operating normally many times a year, for off-course or otherwise anomalous aircraft? The FAA, NORAD, and the NMCC (National Military Command Center at the Pentagon) have a clear and working set of standard operating procedures which on September 11th, and on that day only, failed to operate. Griffin lays them out, along with the strange, and changing official excuses for their "failure". Continue reading

We had a good time with the kids watching a movie here. The facilities could use some updating, but overall we had a great time.
This was a terrible experience.they only took cash or checks, the man showing the movie was rude, the film was awful and there was nothing to see besides an inaccurate model of the solar system. The girl at the desk was nice, but that was the only positive I can say about it. They can do so much better! This... More
This place could be a cool thing to do if they would put a little money into the place to renovate it. It is looking worn out. It would be awesome if they would add imax. Parking is really hard to come by now that the new convention center is there.
The show was educational, but technology has come a long way since this planetarium was built and it doesn't seem to have kept up with the times. The staff were friendly and accomodating.
This was my first time to the Planetarium. While it seems a little dated it was still a great trip. We came to watch the Wild Ocean movie. The staff was very nice and the movie screen was cool to see.
I love the experience of the planetarium. It is great for a rainy afternoon when the kids want something to do!
This sky show (New Horizons about Pluto) was so outdated and boring that we fell asleep. The graphics from this film looked like they were from the 80's. The only interesting thing was the sky, and it was more of a filler than the program itself. If you are going to see something, make it one of the films.
It's a regular everyday planetarium, but things there are a little dated. Still worth a visit though!
It's kind of an older planetarium, but sometimes newer isn't always better. Go on an evening when they are showing the night sky. Your kids will enjoy it.

"Stainless steel maslin pan
by Mrs Osborne
I used the pan today for the first time. The recipe from Lakeland book called to boil the jam without stirring about 35 minutes. The contents were burned to the pan so badly that it can not be washed even after soaking for hours. The pan did not boil dry, there was 2 litres of jam in the pan. Item description is not correct - 'you can not keep rolling boil for long time without the contents sticking'. Wasted fruit, sugar and time. Pan is not useable now.
Published 26 08 2014
A note from the team: Thank you for placing your review and giving us the opportunity of speaking to you about this. We're sorry to hear you've experienced this problem and agree it's important to keep a close eye on the jam as it boils.We hope that you have better results next time.
"well worth the money
by Mrs Evans
I wanted to start making jam again and bought this a couple of years ago. It has not disappointed, even having to cope with a quite frankly underpowered ceramic hob. No sticking whilst having to boil the jam unstirred for often up to an hour (due to the weedy hob), also for a sticky courgette chutney. It's also come in handy for parboiling the christmas day roasties when we had a crowd. Cant recommend it highly enough!

"Amazing Item
by Sandra Miller
I have been making preserves for years. I have looked at buying a special pan but thought that as I had big saucepans I did not need one. How foolish I was. I bought this and it is simply amazing. Easy to clean, does not burn and the handle that I was worried about is excellent. I wish that I had bought two at the same time as I have to order another one as preserving time is so busy in this house and two pans are required. Thank you Lakeland for such a great product you are selling.

"Goodbye old brass preserving pan.. hello Lakeland Maslin..
by Mrs Beaumont
For years I've used the family's old brass preserving pans but their weight and, dare I say it, increasingly less than flat bottoms, finally convinced me I needed something better. I can't recommend the Lakeland Maslin highly enough. I can lift it with no pain even when full prior to potting up and the resulting jams and chutneys are unparalleled. It is easy to fit into the sink for washing and quicker to use as yes, the base is beautifully flat and all parts are in contact with the hob. If you're hesitating, don't - buy it for all your preserving needs and enjoy!

by Mrs Bridge
My husband bought me this as a early wedding anniversary present. I was not disappoint. Due to a back injury I can't use anything heavy I found this pan easy to lift and pour even with my batch of marmalade inside. The bottom is very thick so the marmalade didn't stick or burn but still boiled quickly too. Im looking forward to making more jam and chutney now for people especially as this pan made everything so easy

by Simon Carn
I bought this for my first attempt at Jam making and was not disappointed. Its extremely well made and solid (note its quite heavy), and I had no issues at all with anything sticking to the bottom or the sides. The combination of two handles and the pouring spot made this very easy to fill up jam jars in minutes. Great product Lakeland.

"this one is going to Portugal!!
by Maggie Milner
We purchased our first Maslin pan from Lakeland several years ago when we had a glut of tomatoes and it has been monopolised by my husband ever since!. He has made many different chutneys, chilli jam and his speciality piccalilli which is much in demand!! We are now lucky enough to have a second home in Portugal and are involved in fund raising for local charities over there hence the purchase of a second pan so we can get cracking on filling the many jars that friends have collected so that we can sell our chuteys at the monthly car boot sale. We looked at others but none come up to yours!

I looked around both online and in the shops for a while before finally deciding on this Maslin Pan from Lakeland. It has not disappointed. I had it a while before using it recently to make chutney and marmalade. It is an excellent size and due to the measurements on the inside of the pan it makes it easy to know when you have reached your goal when making your preserves. It is excellent quality without being too heavy which makes handling it easy enough and it looks really nice too! I am very happy with it.

It happened at 10282 Seven Hills Road in Tyler.
Smith County sheriffs officials tell us that the toddler was playing with some other children outside his home while his parents were installing a sprinkler system and the boy wandered away from the group.
When his mother noticed he was gone, she went looking for him and found him in the pond.
Offiicials say the father attempted to do CPR, and the child was taken to the hospital where he died.

I like boobs. I'm a straight woman, but really, who doesn't appreciate them? Robots. Reptiles. Sauron. That's about it. And I'm not even positive about Sauron. He might have, at some point, before he was all disembodied. Breasts are awesome. As feminist writer Gail Collins said in her New York Times piece, "Everybody likes breasts — infants, adults, women, men. Really, it's America's most popular body part." But sometimes it seems like we only get to talk about how awesome certain kinds of boobs are. The ones that are bold, perfectly round, Sports Illustrated-style, belonging to Christina Hendricks, full, plush, generous, prominent, and just generally big.
Those words do not describe my breasts, but I like mine anyway. For some reason, I never learned to be ashamed. I listened to my brothers (and the world) make enthusiastic comments about well-endowed women, and, although I had a few moments of "Seriously, God? Where's the rest of my chest? YOU FORGOT SOMETHING," I grew up generally liking the way I looked. It could be that there's something wrong with my brain. But I think it's more likely that small boobs are pretty great. Here's why.

Cerus Signs Agreement With Swiss Red Cross For Initial Deployment Of The INTERCEPT Blood System For Plasma
Cerus Corporation (NASDAQ:CERS) announced today that it has signed a two-year purchase agreement with two regional Swiss Red Cross Blood Services for deployment of the INTERCEPT Blood System for plasma in Lausanne and Zurich. These two pilot centers supply an estimated 15,000 plasma units annually.
"We are committed to providing patients in Switzerland with the highest quality blood components available," said Dr. Beat M. Frey, director of the Swiss Red Cross Blood Service in Zurich. "Considering the escalating threats to the blood supply from emerging infectious agents, we need to adopt proactive measures in addition to the traditional testing strategies in order to maintain transfusion safety. Based on our extensive experience with INTERCEPT platelets, we expect a simple and successful implementation of the INTERCEPT plasma process."
Prof. Jean-Daniel Tissot, chief physician of the Swiss Red Cross Blood Service in Lausanne, added, "The implementation of INTERCEPT for plasma will further safeguard the blood supply, and is the next logical step in the paradigm change of pathogen inactivation for all blood components in the future."
"We are honored that Swiss Red Cross centers in Zurich and Lausanne have chosen INTERCEPT as their pathogen inactivation technology for plasma," said Caspar Hogeboom, president of Cerus Europe. "We look forward to meeting their high standards and potentially extending the implementation of INTERCEPT plasma to other Swiss Red Cross centers in the future."
The INTERCEPT platelet system is currently used by all 13 Swiss Red Cross blood centers. Switzerland produces approximately 35,000 platelet units and 50,000 plasma units for transfusion annually. To date, the INTERCEPT Blood System is the only technology approved in Switzerland for pathogen inactivation treatment of platelet and plasma components on a single platform. ABOUT CERUS Cerus Corporation is a biomedical products company focused on commercializing the INTERCEPT Blood System to enhance blood safety. The INTERCEPT system is designed to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted diseases by inactivating a broad range of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites that may be present in donated blood. The nucleic acid targeting mechanism of action enables INTERCEPT treatment to inactivate established transfusion threats, such as hepatitis B and C, HIV, West Nile virus and bacteria, and is designed to inactivate emerging pathogens such as influenza, malaria and dengue. Cerus currently markets and sells the INTERCEPT Blood System for both platelets and plasma in Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Middle East and selected countries in other regions around the world. The INTERCEPT red blood cell system is in clinical development. See http://www.cerus.com for more information.
