Blair Iraq war inquiry: Calculus of risk on WMD changed after 9/11
(Read article summary)Testifying in front of a special inquiry into the Iraq war, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair said he had told President George W. Bush that they had to deal with the WMD threat even if it meant a regime change in Iraq. Blair denied any secret deals.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair began testifying in front of a special Iraq inquiry about Britain's involvement in the war on Friday morning. Among the many issues he will be asked to address, Mr. Blair is expected to answer questions about when Britain decided to commit troops to Iraq and whether intelligence reports about weapons of mass destruction were embellished to make a case for the war.
Blair has faced much criticism for involving Britain in the unpopular war, and the inquiry is seen by many as a critical moment for not only Blair, but for the entire nation as they try to understand the motivations that led them into the war. The inquiry is Britain's third major investigation into the Iraq war.
Blair opened the inquiry by saying that, while the threat posed by Saddam Hussein did not increase after 9/11, the "whole calculus of risk" changed. He told the inquiry that the attacks made the threat of terrorism much more daunting to the United States and the United Kingdom, and the two nations had to ensure that terrorist organizations could not acquire weapons of mass destruction, reports the Guardian, which broadcast the hearing live on its website with other major news organizations.

About Emergency Management
The Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management (MCOEM) is responsible for developing plans and programs that prepare Montgomery County and its communities to effectively prevent, respond to, and recover from catastrophic disasters.
Now is the Time to Prepare for Winter
Winter storms can range from a moderate snow over a few hours to a blizzard with blinding, wind-driven snow that lasts for several days. Many winter storms are accompanied by dangerously low temperatures and sometimes by strong winds, icing, sleet and freezing rain.
One of the primary concerns is the winter weather's ability to knock out heat, power and communications services to your home, sometimes for days at a time. If you lose your heat, consider staying with family or friends rather than relying on unsafe heating sources.
Remember to stay indoors as much as possible. Use layered clothing and blankets to stay warm. If you must be outside, dress in layers and avoid exposed skin. The frigid temperatures can produce frostbite quickly.
Understand that shoveling snow can easily cause overexertion. Watch for warning signs of a heart attack, including lightheadedness, dizziness, being short of breath or if you have tightness or burning in chest, neck, arms or back. If you think you are having a heart attack call 9-1-1.
Prepare your home for winter
- Cut and remove low-hanging and dead tree branches. Ice, snow and strong winds can cause tree limbs to break and fall.
- Have your gutters cleaned. Snow and ice can build up quickly if gutters are clogged with debris.
- DO NOT USE propane grills, charcoal grills or gas ovens for heating living spaces, even with an open door or window. These devices produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (a colorless and odorless poisonous gas) and can result in death.
- NEVER thaw frozen pipes with a torch or other open flame.
- Perform scheduled maintenance on auxiliary heaters, furnaces and fireplaces before using. A working carbon monoxide detector should be present in the living space.
- Space heaters, if used, should be placed three feet away from all objects that could catch fire. They should be turned off at night when unattended.
- Fireplaces should be used to heat the living space only if the flue and chimney have been inspected and are safe. Keep a screen or glass door unit over the opening of the fireplace to prevent embers from escaping. Dispose of ashes only in metal containers and move them well away from the outside of the house.
- Be very careful when using kerosene heaters. Remember to fuel the unit outside the house, keep combustible objects at least 3 feet away from the unit.
- If using a portable generator, read instructions thoroughly to guard against carbon monoxide poisoning. Keep them outside and away from windows, doors and vents with the exhaust pointing away from the home. Do not use them inside a garage, basement or partially enclosed area, no matter how well ventilated.
- It is best not to use extension cords with heat-producing appliances, but if you must, make sure it is rated for the same wattage as the appliance and only use one cord.
- Review your homeowner's insurance policy.
Prepare winter disaster kits for the home and vehicle
Refresh stored nonperishable foods and bottled water. Change the batteries in your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and radios. Winter emergency kits should include warm clothing, blankets, flashlights, new batteries, coats, hats, gloves, a battery-operated or hand-cranked radio, first aid kit, and enough nonperishable food and water (one gallon per person, per day) to sustain every family member for at least three days. Have stored food, bottled water and supplies for your pets, as well.
Personal preparedness means Get a Kit, Make a Plan, and Be Informed!
Get a Kit
Prepare a Disaster Supply Kit for you and your family. A spill of hazardous materials could mean instant evacuation from your home. A winter storm could confine you to your home for several days. Whether you are forced to remain indoors or forced to take shelter somewhere else, a disaster supply kit is one of the best ways to help your family cope.
Your kit should include:
- One gallon of water per person per day, for a minimum of three days. If you live alone you need a minimum of three gallons of water. A three-person household needs a minimum of nine. And don't forget water for your pets.
- Store at least a three-day supply of nonperishable food for everyone in your family.
- Ready-to-eat canned meats, fruits, and vegetables.
- Canned juices, milk, and soup.
- High energy foods like peanut butter, jelly, crackers, and granola bars.
- Comfort foods like cookies, instant coffee or sweetened cereals.
- Don't forget to pack food for infants or the elderly who may have dietary restrictions.
- A manual can opener.
- Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert.
- Flashlight.
- Extra batteries. Remember to keep your batteries out of your equipment until you are ready to use it.
- A first aid kit.
- Whistle to signal for help.
- Dust mask.
- Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation.
- Local map.
- Small tools, including a wrench or pair of pliers to turn off utilities.
- Prescription information and a three-day supply of any medications that are being taken.
- Important family documents, such as copies of your insurance information, identification, and bank records kept in a waterproof portable container.
- Blankets
- Books, games, cards, puzzles or other small portable activities to help keep yourself and your children entertained.
Make a Plan
Planning ahead can be the most important step you take to prepare your family for disasters. You may not have time to decide what to do when a disaster strikes, so discuss with your family what actions you'll take should the worst happen. Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes, so plan in advance: how does everyone get to a safe place? How will you contact one another? How will you get back together? And what steps do you take if different disasters strike? Plan on doing different drills like a fire or tornado drill at home, or practice having everyone call your out-of-town contacts to let each other know where you are. Use planning tools like this Family Emergency Plan Worksheet provided by ready.gov. Use the contact information at the bottom of this page to contact the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management for more planning information and tools.
Be Informed
Know what hazards can affect your area. Is your area more prone to hurricanes or earthquakes? Do you know how to shelter-in-place and what is the best location in your home to do so? What are the best sources of information in your community? Learn more about the different types of disasters that can affect you. Use resources, like the Natural Disasters page of ready.gov, and talk to your local American Red Cross about getting trained in CPR and First Aid.
Know the Weather Terms
Know the difference between storm watches and storm warnings.
For example, a tornado watch is issued by the National Weather Service when conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes in and close to the area. During a tornado watch, review tornado safety plans and be prepared to move to a safe place if conditions worsen. Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio (see below) or local television or radio newscasts for storm updates.
A tornado warning is issued by the NWS when a tornado has been detected by Doppler radar or sighted by storm spotters. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, do not stop to take pictures or shoot video. Seek safe shelter immediately. Continue to listen to your NOAA Weather Radio or TV or radio newscasts for up-to-date weather information.
Other tornado safety tips include:
- During tornado drills or actual tornado warning, DUCK!
- D - Go DOWN to the lowest level
- U - Get UNDER something (like a basement staircase or heavy table or desk)
- C - COVER your head
- K - KEEP in shelter until the storm has passed
- Be prepared for severe weather before a storm watch or warning is issued. Meet with household members to develop a disaster plan to respond to all hazards, including tornado watches and warnings. Conduct regular tornado drills.
- If you are a person with special needs, register your name and address with your local emergency management agency, police and/or fire departments before any natural or man-made disaster occurs.
- The NOAA Weather Radio has alerting tools available for people who are hearing impaired. Some weather radio receivers can be connected to an existing home security system, similar to a doorbell, smoke detector or other sensor. For additional information, visit the NWS NOAA Weather Radio page.
- The safest place to be during a tornado is a basement. If the building you are in has no basement or cellar, go to a small, centrally located room on the lowest level of the building, such as a bathroom or closet or interior hallway.
- If you are in a vehicle, trailer or mobile home, get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building or storm shelter. Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little or no protection from tornadoes.
- If you are outside with no shelter, lie in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands. Do not seek shelter under a highway overpass or bridge. You will be exposed to stronger winds and flying debris.
Invest in a NOAA Public Alert/Weather Radio
Every home, school and business should have a tone-alert weather radio with a battery back-up. Weather and public alert radios are programmed to automatically sound an alert during public safety and severe weather events. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radios are one of the most effective means for you to receive timely warnings of severe weather events. For full details of this program check out the Wilmington National Weather Service Office site. The local NOAA broadcast frequency is 162.475 MHz (WXJ-46).
If you have a radio capable of Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME), the SAME code for Montgomery County is 039113. Click here for more information on the SAME system.
2019 Mitigation Plan Update
The Montgomery County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan is a stand-alone plan that identifies priorities and projects designed to reduce the impact of disasters on communities. By maintaining a current hazard mitigation plan the County and local jurisdictions are eligible for federal mitigation funds as they become available. In order to complete this process we are asking the public to provide comment on the 2014 Montgomery County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan (link provided in Highlights box above), and any changes they would like to see as we begin work on the 2019 Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. Citizens may direct their comments regarding revisions to email@example.com.

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites; | 1 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter--Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. |
2 of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon joined to these in love. | 2 They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods." Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. |
3 He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. | 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. |
4 For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father. | 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. |
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. | 5 He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech the detestable god of the Ammonites. |
6 Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and didn't go fully after Yahweh, as did David his father. | 6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done. |
7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. | 7 On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable god of Moab, and for Molech the detestable god of the Ammonites. |
8 So did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods. | 8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods. |
9 Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, | 9 The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. |
10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he didn't keep that which Yahweh commanded. | 10 Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD's command. |
11 Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, Because this is done of you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant. | 11 So the LORD said to Solomon, "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates. |
12 Notwithstanding in your days I will not do it, for David your father's sake: but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. | 12 Nevertheless, for the sake of David your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son. |
13 However I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen. | 13 Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen." |
14 Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom. | 14 Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom. |
15 For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom | 15 Earlier when David was fighting with Edom, Joab the commander of the army, who had gone up to bury the dead, had struck down all the men in Edom. |
16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom); | 16 Joab and all the Israelites stayed there for six months, until they had destroyed all the men in Edom. |
17 that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child. | 17 But Hadad, still only a boy, fled to Egypt with some Edomite officials who had served his father. |
18 They arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land. | 18 They set out from Midian and went to Paran. Then taking men from Paran with them, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food. |
19 Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen. | 19 Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage. |
20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh. | 20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath, whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There Genubath lived with Pharaoh's own children. |
21 When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own country. | 21 While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David rested with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army was also dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me go, that I may return to my own country." |
22 Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country? He answered, Nothing: however only let me depart. | 22 "What have you lacked here that you want to go back to your own country?" Pharaoh asked. "Nothing," Hadad replied, "but do let me go!" |
23 God raised up [another] adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah. | 23 And God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah. |
24 He gathered men to him, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them [of Zobah]: and they went to Damascus, and lived therein, and reigned in Damascus. | 24 He gathered men around him and became the leader of a band of rebels when David destroyed the forces [of Zobah]; the rebels went to Damascus, where they settled and took control. |
25 He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad [did]: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria. | 25 Rezon was Israel's adversary as long as Solomon lived, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled in Aram and was hostile toward Israel. |
26 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king. | 26 Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled against the king. He was one of Solomon's officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah. |
27 This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father. | 27 Here is the account of how he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the supporting terraces and had filled in the gap in the wall of the city of David his father. |
28 The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph. | 28 Now Jeroboam was a man of standing, and when Solomon saw how well the young man did his work, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the house of Joseph. |
29 It happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; now [Ahijah] had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field. | 29 About that time Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, and Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh met him on the way, wearing a new cloak. The two of them were alone out in the country, |
30 Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces. | 30 and Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore it into twelve pieces. |
31 He said to Jeroboam, Take ten pieces; for thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you | 31 Then he said to Jeroboam, "Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'See, I am going to tear the kingdom out of Solomon's hand and give you ten tribes. |
32 (but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel); | 32 But for the sake of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe. |
33 because that they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and [to keep] my statutes and my ordinances, as did David his father. | 33 I will do this because they have forsaken me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molech the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked in my ways, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my statutes and laws as David, Solomon's father, did. |
34 However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes; | 34 " 'But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon's hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who observed my commands and statutes. |
35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes. | 35 I will take the kingdom from his son's hands and give you ten tribes. |
36 To his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there. | 36 I will give one tribe to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name. |
37 I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel. | 37 However, as for you, I will take you, and you will rule over all that your heart desires; you will be king over Israel. |
38 It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you. | 38 If you do whatever I command you and walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and commands, as David my servant did, I will be with you. I will build you a dynasty as enduring as the one I built for David and will give Israel to you. |
39 I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not forever. | 39 I will humble David's descendants because of this, but not forever.' " |
40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon. | 40 Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam fled to Egypt, to Shishak the king, and stayed there until Solomon's death. |
41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren't they written in the book of the acts of Solomon? | 41 As for the other events of Solomon's reign--all he did and the wisdom he displayed--are they not written in the book of the annals of Solomon? |
42 The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years. | 42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. |
43 Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place. | 43 Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king. |

Sports psychologist banned by Tour after hitting caddie
By Norman Dabell
VILAMOURA, Portugal (Reuters) – British sports psychologist
John Pates has been banned from the European Tour for three
months following a scuffle in China last week with a caddie.
Pates, who includes Welsh World Cup player Bradley Dredge
on his client-list, was caught on close circuit cameras in a
fracas with Dredge's former caddie Rick Brand before the start
of last week's Champions tournament in Shanghai.
Pates told Reuters on Thursday: "The fact that I hit him
was, in hindsight, unacceptable. At the end of the day, what I
did was wrong.
"I have no choice than to accept the ban. I need
accreditation to work and they don't want me to work."
The 6ft 3in English sports psychologist admitted striking
caddie Brand, 5ft 7ins, in the foyer of the players' hotel in
The ban was imposed after telephone calls between Pates and
Tour director David Garland on Thursday during the World Cup in
Portugal, where Pates was on hand advising Dredge and Scot
Stephen Gallacher.
"John Pates will have his accreditation taken away for a
period of three months, effective from December 1 2005. The
caddie has been fined an undisclosed sum," Garland told
Brand, who is caddying this week for Dutchman Robert-Jan
Derksen, had provoked Pates, the psychologist said. The caddie
was not immediately available for comment.
Although Pates has been told he must not frequent players'
hotels, there is nothing to stop them visiting him for advice
if their meetings do not take place at European Tour
Dredge would say nothing about the matter after he and
Stephen Dodd challenged strongly two shots off England's early
World Cup lead, but when asked what the English mental coach
had advised this week, joked: "Be more aggressive."
Gallacher added: "This was all completely out of character
for John."

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

Deforestation Index Rises in Honduras
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduras lost 37 percent of its forests over the past 20
years, revealed the Treehugger website owned by Discovery, which places
this country among the most deforested in the world.
The forest area in Honduras has disappeared rapidly since 1990, says the
publication, which includes the state of the planet in this field.
The Timber Association of Honduras described as incorrect the Treehugger's
information and ensured that all data in its possession and the empirical
observations contradict the internet publication.
"We all know that deforestation is a major problem, but we have no data
that allow us to quantify it. All the data we know and our empirical field
observations contradict the report of Treehugger. The rate of
deforestation in Honduras is less," said that organization.
According to the United Nations Programme for the Environment (UNEP),
Haiti topped the list of nations with the highest rates of deforestation
in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The problem also affects Mexico and El Salvador, where many forest areas
disappear every year.

Trademark for a preparation of diazepam. A tranquillizing drug used to treat anxiety and tension states and as an aid in sedation, first introduced in 1963, it belongs to the group of chemically related compounds called benzodiazepines, the first of which was synthesized in 1933. Side effects include drowsiness and muscular incoordination; physical dependence can result after prolonged use. The discovery of Valium and similar drugs led to a new era in psychopharmacology.

Today was my first eperience of The Bathpool Inn, a party of 4 and a half (a very bubbly 18 month old!) of us arrived and being a coeliac I was fully epecting to have to dodge gravy, yorkshire pudding and other wheaty food stuffs! We hadnt booked and the pub was very busy; however we were greeted by friendly staff and seated within 2 minutes. On explaining to them that I can't eat wheat, provisions were instantly made and I was able to enjoy gravy on my roast! It was fantastic and I would highly recommend to anyone (coeliac or not!!). Thank you for a lovely Sunday!

Just when you thought that one villain would be enough of a challenge for Chris Evans' Captain America, The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog today announced that Toby Jones (W, Infamous) will play Nazi genetic engineer Arnim Zola in Joe Johnston's upcoming event picture.
In comics lore, Zola created clones and various monstrosities for Hitler. He also captured his own mental self, inserting it into a robot, and survived the war. Hugo Weaving will portray main baddie The Red Skull in Paramount Pictures fourth superhero film, which will blast it's way into theaters on July 22 2011, just a two and a half months after Thor.
The World War II-set movie also stars Sebastian Stan as Cap's sidekick Bucky Barnes and Hayley Atwell as the hero's love interest, Peggy Carter. All parties are gearing up for a summer shoot in England, which should begin in July.

3. Everything / History & Politics / Historical Figures 2. The Universe / The Earth / Europe / United Kingdom / Scotland / Perth and Tayside George Ballinger, Dissident of Dundee We are out for Revolution! George Agustus1 Ballinger was born in St Austell, Cornwall, in 1887, the son of Charles Ballinger and Sarah Backhouse. George and his family moved north to the city of Dundee, Scotland, sometime during George's infancy and he settled and lived in Dundee for the rest of his life. The 1901 Scottish Census shows a 13-year-old George as living at an address in the St Mary's housing area of Dundee, along with his mother Sarah, father Charles, and brothers Harry (21) and Arthur (18). The Great War George was a working class family man who later became disgruntled with the lack of work and a means to support his family after returning from fighting in the First World War. He saw action in both France and Russia, during which he was the victim of a serious gas attack, and he was also buried alive at one point - being rescued by being dug out and then spending three months in a military hospital recuperating. Before the outbreak of the war George had been a foreman in one of Dundee's jute mills, but had left this position to enlist. He became a sergeant in the newly formed 14th Battalion, Tank Corps, and was awarded the Military Medal2 for 'gallant devotion to duty'. However, on demobilisation, George found it very difficult to find work back home in Dundee. He eventually managed to gain temporary work for the local Corporation (council), repairing roads as a labourer. He kept this position for nine months and then two days after the birth of his twin children he was laid off. George was said to have become very depressed at this point. As well as having his new twin children to take care of, he also had another daughter, who was two years old. The 'Rebel Army' George soon started to voice his opinions on the high unemployment rates in Dundee, and became an official for the Dundee faction of the National Unemployed Workers' Movement (an organisation set up in 1921 by members of the Communist Party of Great Britain). On 6 October, 1921, George (then aged 34) took part in a speech in Dundee City Square to more than 500 men and women (even though he was not a member of the Communist Party) in which he was quoted as saying, We are out for Revolution! Get out your notebooks! We are out for Revolution! Join up in the Red Army for you will have to fight! You will have to be the Iron Division. It depends on the capitalists whether it will be a bloody revolution or not. If it is a bloody revolution, let them have it! Get hold of all the machinery of production. We want the whole damn lot! It is ours. We produced it!The following week, on 14 October, at another open-air meeting in front of up to 1,000 people, George gave another address in which he said,
Into the Courts George was soon arrested and charged with the crime of sedition, and his trial began on Monday, 17 October, 1921. George pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to 60 days imprisonment by the presiding judge, Sheriff Malcolm. George had spoken of Russia in his rhetoric, and Sheriff Malcolm remarked on passing sentence that if George had 'done the same there he would have been executed without hesitation'. On Sunday, 27 November, 1921, while George was still serving his prison term, one of his infant twins died. George was granted permission to attend the funeral which was held on the Wednesday. He was accompanied to his home by a prison warder and a police detective. He was allowed into the house alone, where his wife, Margaret, greeted him, holding the remaining twin girl. He then carried the small white coffin containing his dead infant out to the waiting car. The car was followed to the local graveyard by hundreds of members of the unemployment movement, and the interment was witnessed by many more. George and his wife, Margaret (nee McCabe), had seven children in all. Of these seven children, only three daughters survived into adulthood; Margaret, Grace, who was the remaining twin, and Elizabeth. War Once More At the outbreak of the Second World War, George was in his early fifties, but this didn't stop him trying to re-enlist and fight again for his country, even after his experiences in the First World War. He was turned down for active service, but was reinstated to the rank of sergeant and put in charge of a unit of men. They became known in the Beechwood area of Dundee as 'George and his boys'. George Ballinger died on 26 August, 1949.

Wahoo, it feels GREAT to be back. Actually, it feels outstanding. After a short holiday we're back, back, back and feeling alkaline, feeling fresh and ready to blow you away with our biggest, best bunch of beautiful alkaline resources ever.
And where better to start than with a fresh, new alkaline recipe of the week!
Alkaline Diet Recipe #147: Mexican Tortilla Soup
Serves Four
500ml of (alkaline) water
2 teaspoons of vegetable bouillon or 1 yeast-free vegetable stock cube
1 ripe avocado
1/2 red capsicum (pepper)
1 tomato
1/2 bunch of coriander (cilantro)
2 large handfuls of spinach
2 cloves of garlic
1 lime
1 corn on the cob (about 4 inches long)
1 chili/jalapeno (to your taste)
Pinch of black pepper and Himalayan (or Celtic Sea) Salt
1 sprouted tortilla wrap
This is a fantastic alkaline diet recipe that takes no time at all to prepare and is great as a warmer in winter or in summer as a refresher.
Firstly, get your tortilla ready by slicing into 1cm wide and 5cm long strips and lightly toasting under the grill.
Now prepare the base by simply boiling the alkaline water in a large pan and dissolve the stock cubes/bouillon to make a vegetable broth as a base.
Next, get the veggies ready by dicing the capsicum and tomato and roughly chopping the coriander. Now peel and dice the avocado and finely dice or mince the garlic. Next, slice up the chili/jalepeno to your hotness preference and put to one side. Wash and roughly chop your delicious super-alkaline spinach and dry with a tea towel.
Now finally prepare the corn by slicing the kernels from the cob with a sharp knife (see dull but decent video tip here).
All that is left is to combine everything into the broth – so simply throw it all together and heat through. You may choose to keep the tomato and chili to one side and throw in right at the end so that it stays quite raw – that's just how I do it
This is really easy, a great way to alkalise and perfect all year 'round.

Failure to "adhere to a clear breadstick policy" is one of the many, many things Olive Garden is doing wrong, according to a new presentation by Starboard Value. Read more »
Olive Garden
Hedge Fund To Olive Garden: You Wanna Make Some Real Money? Cut The Breadstick Bull Sh*t
By Bess LevinOnce upon a time, say from 1995 through 2002, there was no better place to be come chow time than the Olive Garden. Oh, the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks! The pastas, whose recipes were pretend-learned at the maybe-not-so-much-extant Culinary Institute of Tuscany! The shrimp scampi, rivaled only by OG's sister restaurant and frequent neighbor, Red Lobster.
Well, things have gone somewhat downhill since those carefree salad days, and now the OG is a millstone around the neck of its owner, Darden Restaurants. Both because it is not growing as fast as such Darden gems like Bahama Breeze and LongHorn Steakhouse and Eddie V's Prime Seafood, and because it has attracted the attention of hedge-fund rabble-rousers Barington Capital Group and Starboard Value.
To fend off these advances, Darden has suggested spinning off Red Lobster—and Red Lobster alone. This will not do for Barington and Starboard Value, who propose much more radical surgery, including a real-estate spinoff, but, most importantly, keeping the largest purveyors of shrimp scampi in the U.S. under one roof. And that is something Brad Blum, Olive Garden president from 1995 to 2002, can get behind. Read more »
Poll: How Long Must Coke Fiends Wait 'Til The Olive Garden Currency Is More Valuable Than The Dollar?
By Bess LevinHoping to receive $10 worth of cocaine in exchange for Olive Garden salad in a to-go box, a Salt Lake City woman instead was charged with a third degree felony by an undercover police officer. In addition to the salad, the woman also offered the officer $2, and vowed to return later with more money or Olive Garden gift cards. The officer was not persuaded and in addition to the felony, the woman was also charged with one count of attempted possession or use of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia (she had a glass pipe in her pocket), a class A misdemeanor.

Mt. St. Helens and the Cascade Volcanic Arc: Iceland in America
Mt. St. Helens erupted 30 years ago. With an Icelandic volcano causing global problems today, the Mt. St. Helens anniversary is a reminder of volcanic activity in America's Lower 48 states.
Dean J. Koepfler/Tacoma News Tribune/MCT/Newscom
The 30-year anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens arrives today as both a moment of reflection and a poignant reminder.
Mt. St. Helens struck a nation that – at least in its 48 contiguous states – often sees volcanic eruptions as exotic events on civilization's fringe, the narratives of Hawaiians and Icelanders and (more recently) Europeans stranded in shuttered airports.
Yet America has its own Iceland, in some respects. It is called the Cascade Volcanic Arc, running from northern California through Washington State, and the eruption of Mt. St. Helens on May 18, 1980, was just a taste of what it can do.
IN PICTURES: Volcanoes around the world
The dynamics of the region's tectonics make the Cascades and Iceland different. The Cascades, for one, are far less active. But each Cascades eruption has the potential to be far more explosive – as was demonstrated by Mt. St. Helens.
Mt. St. Helens vs. Eyjafjallajökull
The reason is that, geologically speaking, Iceland is set to simmer. New earth is constantly bubbling up through the rift that runs across the island and separates the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. The function of Iceland's volcanoes is essential to perpetually replenish the earth's crust with new magma, which cools into rock.

how interesting that you post this today, because I am facing a situation right now with a nonconfrontational, "work out your own differences" type of boss, and I'm reaching my breaking point.
Which really disturbs me, because I'm a hard worker, and I work well with people – but I can't take not getting even a little recognition for my efforts, compounded by an underserving co-worker who is giving assignments she's not capable of – assignments that should go to me. It's a loyalty issue – she's been there a bit longer, her husband is one of our best engineers. I'm in a pretty impossible position. Anyway – maybe it's time to press the issue.

Lots of people (esp. in my field) become managers because there's no other way to get a salary hike and stay with the same company. Either you stay in your current position with your lowly salary or you agree to manage because you need the raise. Never mind that you have no business being a supervisor. Peter Principle in full effect.
Well it's not a simple thing really – it's more of an art than a science. Good managers know this, the poor ones DO NOT. "Management" really is "Managing PEOPLE". People are vastly different from one to the next. The manager who excels is the one who can quickly identify what motivates any given individual and then utilizes those mechanics to encourage healthy productivity and spawn growth of ability and efficiency. People DO NOT want to reminded constantly that their boss is around to make them do things that they do not necessarily like and that their boss is making the task even more unappealing in the way he's managing the task and/or the situation. People want to feel motivated and excited about their job. They want to feel appreciated, respected, and needed. Under these circumstances, some individuals flourish, others, feeling as though there is opportunity, take advantage of the situation. This is where a manager must see the dynamics and approach the situation appropriatly. It's been said before, but is SOOOO true, managers make you work, leaders make you want to work. I've worked for both.

I think the mark of a good manager is the realization that each person needs to managed differently. I, personally, love the fact that my manager is so hands-off in her style. I function best this way, and have actually left a job much more quickly than I otherwise would have because I felt like I was being over-managed.
It's my feeling that if you can't give me a task and a little direction and trust me get it done (or share my ideas on how it could be done more effectively) then you had no business hiring me to do the job.
Posted by Jacqui on March 22, 2007 at 8:33 pm | permalink |
Jacqui, I think I'm a lot like you. My needs are simple: Give me a lot of responsibility, and then leave me alone to do it. I hate it when I'm not busy, and I hate being micromanaged.
I can see, though, that if someone is a star performer – your accountant who automates the month-end closing cycle from eight days down to four, for example – you need to recognize them. Not by shoveling more grunt-level work at them, but by giving them raises, promotions, and more challenging tasks. They've already proven they can handle a challenge, right?
Employees who are process-improvers save companies a ton of money. Once that streamlined process is in place, it will always be there, continuing to save money, long after the employee is gone. But of course you don't want that person to leave, so make sure they can't find a better deal elsewhere!

I work for a technology company in which the owner/manager has a hands off style. There are no set rules as to the time to come in, what to do if you are going to be late, etc. The only time someone mentions a problem to you is when you step over some invisible line.
Although this was somewhat confusing when I was first hired, I am a self-motivated individual and I did very well. However, I am now a manager of eight other scientists.
I find that I somehow exceed my place and am reprimanded because I said something or did something outside of my area of responsibility. I am the most "hands on" of the managers at my company, and my team is the highest rated.
Although I have been told by the owner that I am a "natural manager", I do not seem to just know where my responsibility ends. When I ask for guidance, I get one of those goofy "well, what do you think you should do?" answers rather than any real set of guidelines.
Also, I have noticed that women (I am a woman) seem to need a totally different approach than men. Men are relatively easy to manage because they follow rules more easily, especially in a team environment, such as the one I foster. Women seem to want to be competitive with me and challenge every guideline (as you see, I do this myself!).
For example, our company will grow from 100 employees to about 500 within 2 years. I believe that it is important for there to be some uniformity in form and in the systems each manager uses to schedule work and also in the general format of the work. Then, if a manager leaves, any other manager will be able to take over his/her workload with little transition time. The women I manage want to argue about my system and about these rules. How do I handle this?
Also, the other managers at my level balk when I try to amend or suggest changes in the way that we are doing things. I think that they do not like the idea that I am trying to manage any area over which they have purview.
I feel like there is a lot of short-sightedness in the management and that no one seems to understand that we are going to have a nightmare on our hands if there is not some infrastructure in place in the near future.
The management style that works for 50 employees is not going to work for 500-or am I wrong?
Posted by diane jones on April 21, 2007 at 2:32 pm | permalink |
This is an interesting and astute observation. I have worked with bosses who aren't "people persons." That translate into closed doors, hands-off, feigned ignorance, inability to manage confrontation successfully and letting "the chips fall where they lie."

I didn't know there was a tag assigned to what I actually do ever working weekday…..UNDERMANAGE. I knew that the day to day operations were greater than what one person could possible manage efficiently, I know that I am uncomfortable with the amount of time spent at my desk as opposed to be out on the unit with my staff. The endless e-mails marked urgent; the projects that are still a work in-progress; the original messages forwarded to me again by my director asking, "status???" Not to mention the over-due Performance Appraisals. Do I leave my office door open or close it and be tagged as "unapproachable", or "too busy?"

But after a career spent selling intercity bus travel, Zelle is enough of a salesman to know that he'll need more than arithmetic to convince Minnesotans to dig deeper for a transportation investment surge. He needs a vision. He wants to describe what a competitive transportation system would look like, and how businesses would benefit from it. He's got a video to help him; it's at www.dot.state.mn.us/tfac.
"We don't aspire to have world-class transportation because we love concrete and I-beam spans are the coolest thing in the world," he said of MnDOT. "It's because we aspire to have a world-class state. It's about the people and its citizens. It's really about health, the environment and our prosperity."
Though much has changed at the Capitol since the last Transpo Session, this hasn't: The business community is still the big dog. Even in DFL hands, the Legislature isn't likely to enact a multiyear, big-bucks plan unless the state Chamber of Commerce, the Business Partnership and their allies give their assent.
Zelle's credibility and clarity should help those business organizations decide whether, on this issue, their self-interest lies in trying to beat this governor or in joining him.

Our law firm handles injury and wrongful death cases in the Kansas City area courts, including Jackson County, Wyandotte County, Johnson County, and the surrounding communities. Such cases involve helping individuals badly injured in accidents caused by negligence or reckless conduct. When a client is badly injured, we investigate to prove the negligent act or wrongful conduct. We research the damages such as medical bills, lost wages, disability and disfigurement. Our legal team then presents the personal injury, medical malpractice or wrongful death claim to the opposing party, their insurance company, or attorney representing them. If these negligent parties then refuse to accept fair responsibility and pay damages to our clients via an out of court settlement, we often file a lawsuit and zealously litigate as we head to trial or settlement. The injury cases we handle typically involve death or personal injury caused by medical malpractice, defective products, serious car accidents, intentional torts like battery, and DUI wrecks.
Contact us today to arrange a consultation to discuss your injuries and concerns at no cost. We represent clients on a contingency fee basis. You pay attorneys' fees only as a percentage of the amount of money damages we help you actually recover, whether it be through a jury verdict at trial or through an insurance settlement.

Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
Acronyms become buzzwords
so quickly in our blog-driven society that it sometimes takes time for the citizenry to catch up. When I first started hearing the term "FUD," I kept waiting for someone to explain what it meant. I finally had to do a web search to get a definition. As you probably know by now, FUD means "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt," and it refers to the tactics used by proprietary software vendors such as Microsoft to foment paranoia about Open Source. The term FUD is truly at the zenith of its popularity now. I see it almost every day. Even big companies like IBM and Novell use the word to rally their troops.

Updating my projected depth chart
Two weeks into camp, two weeks until the opener — the Ducks are halfway through preseason camp.
By now, you've probably read a whole lot about Oregon's two weeks' worth of practices. You've read reports here and on other websites noting which guys have looked good, and which guys have struggled. You've read about big plays that stood out, and gaffs that were also notable.
Here's the thing: All that stuff is great entertainment, and some of it can be insightful depending on the source. But the judgments about good days and bad by any given player are subjective, by media members with varying degrees of "expertise." And any single play noted by myself or others is obviously completely lacking in context; we have no idea if the big play was set up by an egregious error on the other side of the ball, for one thing. And that one big play might have been offset in the coaches' eyes by nine BAD plays that we DIDN'T note in our practice reports.
All of which is to say, take everything in those reports with a grain of salt. And also, what follows is possibly the most objective — and frankly the most insightful — post you'll see here each week. This depth chart is my assessment after watching nearly every moment of practice so far, based on practice reps received, which are the truest illustration of where a player stands in the eyes of coaches, assuming he's healthy.
It ain't as sexy as a bunch of highlights, I know, but it's much more valuable if you want to know where guys stand at this point.

What this doesn't reflect is guys who are versatile enough to play multiple position. Clanton looks like he may be the top backup at both spots on the left side of the offensive line, and ditto for Cody on the right side. Taylor Hart could also play some defensive end if necessary.
