George takes the cake, and the child
7 comments:
George supposedly never had time for his daughter, Lucy. But what about his wife, Eve? They appear to have been married for a long time, and she seems a kind, loving person - so how was it possible for George not to see Lucy?
- 14 March 2010 at 09:05
I think we all thought George was going to be a villan but it turns out he is just a bombastic Grandad, a man used to getting his own way by fair means or foul. I think he thought he had messed up with his daughter, Lucy, and wanted to make amends through Simon by "giving him a good life". Peter has just given him all the ammunition by keep going back to the drink and who says he won't do it again, he is a bit of a loser. I hope this is not the end we see of Anthony Valentine because he has been great and I would like to see him and Eve popping up every now and again like Jack and Connie.

I think it was more to do with Lucy refusing to see George from what i got out of this.

George may well have been right to have his concerns about Peter/Simon, but the way he went about it was downright evil. I'm going to be gutted if he turns out to have gone soft/reconciles with Peter/Ken, as it looked very much like he was doing in the last episode - I hope he has further villainy up his sleeve. It'll be much more entertaining.

I can understand why George is doing this but behind even his wifes back shows just how determined and actually blinkered he has become.
He wasn't there for Lucy when she was little, that is established. Character wise his actios have actually been consistent and certainly not rash. Initially he was trying to help Simon indirectly by supporting Peter and Leanne. He ploughed a small fortune into the bar of course. Also he was very pushy about the private schooling and even (at such a late stage) paid for Peter's rehab treatment.
A lot of this was down to his enthusiasm at discovering he actually had a grandson of course. He desperately wants to play a very much active role in his upbringing (which i hope he still can).
His conflict with Ken was predictable but actually quite apt in many ways. It helped him get closer to Peter and thus to Simon. It also showed some of Ken's true colours that have exasparated Deirdre for so many years.
He showed a devious (or determined) side however, by manipuLAting Leanne when she very much needed support, in taking Simon away. After actually doing a much needed turn in having Simon over, he quickly abused this position and decided he could do a better job of caring for him.
This, as we know, is very short sighted. Particularly when you consider he was a struggling father himself, with demons, like Peter. He wasn't there for his own daughter. Did he not stop to think that his inherently selfish actions where not only to Simon's detriment but also forcing his own shortcomings as a father onto Peter as another?
I hope to see his relationship with Eve tested through this storyline and i also hope that they both become permanent additions to the cast.
So often with storylines like these, the character is introduced for the short term effect of the storyline, rather than long term to the benefit of the show. Stephanie Beacham being a good recent example.
A fantastic storyline. Consistent in its execution and in my view, a highlight of the rather underwhelming Kim Crowther era. - 14 March 2010 at 16:16
- Yoork said...
Yeah, George can't "rest in peace" one day knowing how he abandoned his daughter, and has made it his quest to care for Simon.
This was a good storyline, yes. Although, I feel so bad for poor little Simon, hopefully he can resume a normal life after. - 14 March 2010 at 19:23
Any alternastive would be better for the child rather than living an a stinking smoke filled room above a bookie's with a hopeless alcoholic loser of a father.

The 1st Annual L.A. Sriracha Festival
Yes, it's true! I'm putting together a Sriracha Festival in downtown Los Angeles with my good friend Joshua Lurie from FoodGPS.com!
The 1st Annual L.A. Sriracha Festival is taking place on Sunday, October 27, from 3 pm to 6 pm at LOT 613 in the downtown L.A. Arts District. This chef-driven, all-inclusive, 21+ event spotlights the world's most iconic hot sauce in a casual industrial setting. Multiple stations allow guests to enjoy a variety of Sriracha themed dishes, including desserts, at their own pace. Local craft beer, cocktails, and sodas help tame the heat while a live DJ set helps create a fun and unforgettable food and drink experience.
Some of L.A.'s best chefs and restaurants participating in this year's event include:
- Wesley Avila— Guerrilla Tacos — "Best Tacos in LA Under $10", Time Out LA (2013)

Inventive bartenders Josh Goldman (Soigné Group) and Matthew Biancaniello are serving creative cocktails in the main festival area and at the Plan Check Bar booth, respectively. Los Angeles Ale Works has created artisan ginger ale (with or without Sriracha!), Pure Water of Los Angeles is providing beyond-green purified water from their water systems.
Huy Fong Foods, Inc. has generously come on board as a presenting sponsor. David Tran, founder of Huy Fong Foods and mastermind behind their Sriracha, will be making a rare, special appearance at the event. Uber is offering festival guests a free ride valued at up to $20 for first time users, and Ten Speed Press is giving a copy of The Veggie-Lover's Sriracha Cookbook to all VIP guests.
A portion of proceeds from the L.A. Sriracha Festival will directly benefit Food Forward; a North Hollywood-based charity whose mission is to rescue and donate fresh local produce that would otherwise go to waste. Over 1.6 million pounds of food has been gleaned since 2009, which goes to local food pantries, helping feed over 40,000 hungry Southern Californians each month.

Wheat Beer Article in Edible Westside
0A few years ago, I wrote up a couple pretty sweet articles for a now-defunct magazine called Edible Los Angeles. (And I know what you're thinking… but noooo, it did not go out of business because of my writing.) For reasons unbeknownst to me, and unimportant to this post, it went bye-bye. Ho hum.
Fast forward to June 2011, and I get this email in my inbox from a polite stranger by the name of Linzy May Mahoney, who tells me she's looking to publish a new Los Angeles edition under the Edible Communities umbrella. (Did you know there are around 70 of these awesome hyper-local magazines all across the country? Even having worked with them before, I had no idea!) So Linzy introduces herself, tries to win some points (successfully) by telling me she loves Sriracha and my cookbook, and asks if I'd be interested in writing about beer for her new publication, Edible Westside. Naturally, I said hell yes.
How could I not? She was so passionate about wanting to highlight the brilliant artisans, great home cooks, dedicated farmers, and talented chefs, bartenders, and retailers that are continually working to shape and redefine our thoughts on eating and drinking. And as the name implies, Edible Westside would be focusing heavily on the west side of Los Angeles, in neighborhoods with pretty exciting culinary culture, like Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City, and Malibu, among others. I was definitely in.
For her inaugural issue, which just launched on March 1, I wrote a focus on wheat beers, explaining the use of wheat as a beer ingredient and several styles that typically use it. In addition, I put together a little cheat sheet that gives a brief overview of wheat beers made in and around Los Angeles including Golden Road Hefeweizen, Craftsman Heavenly Hefe, TAPS Hefeweizen, Manifesto Eagle Rock Wit, El Segundo White Dog Wheat IPA, The Bruery Hottenroth Berliner Weiss, and Ladyface La Blanche Wit. The entire article, and actually the entire magazine, can be read for free right here: Edible Westside, Spring 2012 issue.
(And if you're after a physical paper copy, here's a map of Edible Westside distribution points that shows where you can find one around town.)
It's been really incredible to see how much work she's put into this, and I've loved watching the whole thing come together. It came out looking absolutely stunning, and I couldn't be more proud of Linzy. I mean, seriously… she started a friggin magazine! And I'm super stoked to have had the chance to be a small part of that. Now, I've gotta get back to writing; I've got a deadline for my sour beer article in the summer issue that will be out in June!

(P.S. It's worth noting that I also wrote a blog post for EdibleWestside.com back in November that was all about porters & stouts, with interviews from Rob Croxall, Bremaster at the El Segundo Brewing Company, and Victor Macias, a 13-year veteran of Pacific Gravity, the local Culver City homebrew club. Dig it.)

Mortgage Acts and Practices
Mortgage applications dropped 3.6 percent last week, even as rates remained mostly unchanged.
Applications for mortgage refinances continued to tumble last week as mortgage rates hovered near two-year highs.
Even after being saved from foreclosure through a HAMP mortgage modification, some home owners are still defaulting on their loans.
For the second consecutive week, mortgage rates showed signs of receding, helping to "alleviate concerns over a slowdown in the housing market," Freddie Mac reports.
The mortgages once blamed for the housing bust are luring home buyers again with their low introductory offers.
The rise in mortgage rates over the last couple of months has been "significant" and could hamper the housing recovery, economists say.
More potential home buyers are turning to margin loans for short-term financing to close on a purchase or win a bidding war.
Following several weeks of rises, mortgage rates took a small dip, giving some relief to home buyers.
Mortgage giant Fannie Mae takes a close look at what history teaches us about how rising mortgage rates impact home prices and sales.
With mortgage rates likely to approach 5 percent next year, normalized underwriting standards are crucial.

What better way to commemorate your favorite pooch than with a custom stuffed dog from Shelter Pups?
For $125 the company uses pictures you send of your beloved pooch and attempts to replicate their appearance in stuffed animal form. Every quirk or distinct characteristic that your dog has will be sure to be represented in the toy. The clever idea is a great way for dog owners to either pay homage to their critters or is a great gift for young children to have something they can cuddle and throw around as much as they want. The best part is that all proceeds made from its sales will be going towards animal rescue shelters!
For cat owners interested in this service, do not fret because the company will begin making cat versions of these custom stuffed dogs in 2013.

The Summer Solstice Light Spectacle, a dazzling light display, is a natural phenomenon unique in the southern hemisphere. It occurs throughout December and early January.
Due to the alignment of the sun over the Tropic of Capricorn brilliant direct sun light penetrates the darkness of the Belfry Cave through a 14 metre vertical shaft in the cave roof at midday. The effect is electrifying. The colour of peoples clothing is reflected all round the cave walls and a disco mirror ball creates light patterns on the roof.

But like locusts that fly away when the sun comes up to warm the earth, all of them will fly away and disappear. | 17 Your guards are like locusts, your officials like swarms of locusts that settle in the walls on a cold day-- but when the sun appears they fly away, and no one knows where. |

BIA/Kelsey Adjusts 2010 Radio Industry Revenues Forecast
Chantilly, VA - May 27, 2010 - BIA/Kelsey has slightly raised its outlook for the radio industry in 2010. Based on first-quarter results from a number of radio ownership groups and other market insight, BIA/Kelsey now expects total radio industry revenues to hit $14.21 billion, an increase of 3.7 percent over 2009. The higher forecast, which appears in the second edition of BIA/Kelsey's quarterly Investing In Radio Market Report, also reflects radio's continued success in incorporating digital and mobile plans into its overall strategy.
Radio's position in the overall local marketplace is also significant when compared with the revenues of other local media including direct mail, newspapers, television and Yellow Pages. According to BIA/Kelsey's Media Ad View reports, over-the-air radio ranks fourth in 2009 U.S. local media revenues, with 10.5 percent of the $130.2 billion total. Media Ad View provides research, trending and analysis across 12 media categories.

Peacefully HomeGrown is a "micro-enterprise", which uses peaceful, sustainable, only natural, time-tested methods to grow heirloom, open-pollinated vegetables, flowers, herbs and gourds.
When you buy open-pollinated varieties, you are taking a step towards self-sufficiency, as you can save your own seed and grow your own veggies from your own seed supply, and no longer be dependent upon others for a that particular part of your food requirements. Hopefully seed-saving will "grow" on you!!
I know that Mother Nature knows best and I skip all the icky, chemical stuff. It is my strongest desire that everyone will learn to grow at least a little of their own food, to help out in uncertain times ahead.
I sell my products exclusively thru LocalHarvest.org year-round, and local Flea Markets in spring
I also keep bees, make herbal remedies and create seasoning mixes and herbal vinegars right here at home.
I strongly encourage all people to learn to grow at least a little of their own food. It's so very rewarding to have any degree of food self-sufficiency.
"Peacefully HomeGrown" means that no herbicides, pesticides or chemical fertilizers have been used on anything I have grown. No animal products (manure, bone or blood meal, feathers, etc.) have been used either. I strive to live a vegan lifestyle.
I grow only open pollinated plants, and have a penchant for the heirloom varieties. I was into heirlooms before it became the "in" thing to do! I choose open pollinated because I see the need to protect our plants' genetic diversity, plus, they just taste better!!!!
It's never too early to start thinking about your 2015 garden!! All Peacefully Products are grown without the use of any artificial, chemical product. ONLY sustainable, natural methods are used in all aspects of cultivation. Sorry, Peacefully HomeGrown is not open to the public

Federal Real Property:
Excess and Underutilized Property Is an Ongoing Problem
GAO-06-248T: Published: Feb 6, 2006. Publicly Released: Feb 6, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
At the start of each new Congress since 1999, we have issued a special series of reports entitled the Performance and Accountability Series: Major Management Challenges andProgram Rsks. In January 2003, GAO designated federal real property a high-risk area and issued an update in January 2005 on this area. GAO identified excess and underutilized property as one of the major reasons for the high-risk designation. This testimony discusses GAO's designation of federal real property as a high-risk area, focusing on excess and underutilized property and describes various efforts to address the problem and what more needs to be done.
The conditions that led to GAO's January 2003 high-risk designation still exist. The government's vast and diverse portfolio of real property reflects an infrastructure based on the business model and technological environment of the 1950s. Many assets are no longer effectively aligned with, or responsive to, agencies' changing missions and are therefore no longer needed. GAO's high-risk reports, updated most recently in January 2005, highlighted problems with excess and underutilized property at several agencies, including the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, the U.S. Postal Service, and the General Services Administration. Furthermore, many assets are in an alarming state of deterioration; agencies have estimated restoration and repair needs to be in the tens of billions of dollars. These problems have been exacerbated by underlying obstacles that include competing stakeholder interests in real property decisions, various legal and budget-related disincentives to businesslike outcomes, and the need for better capital planning by agencies. The administration has acknowledged the problems in this area; in February 2004, the President added the Federal Asset Management Initiative to the President's Management Agenda and signed an executive order on real property reform. These and other efforts at the agency level are positive steps. However, despite the progress that has been made, GAO still believes that current structures and processes may not be adequate to fully address the problems. The breadth and complexity of the issues involved and the long-standing nature of the problems and their underlying causes will likely continue to hamper agencies' efforts to realign their real property assets to their missions.

Two Parks Department locations in Bayside — the Joe Michaels Mile and Oakland Lake — have been funded for improvements with work expected to begin next year.
A $1.7 million allocation from Borough President Helen Marshall's Office will provide new pavement and lighting for a portion of the Joe Michaels Mile.
The mile-long path along Little Neck Bay in Crocheron Park was named after the drummer for '60s rock band Jay and the Americans, who developed a heart condition and suffered several heart attacks. He was able to turn his life around by becoming a runner, losing a lot of weight and improving his overall health, though he still died young.
Michaels became a marathoner and the first president of the Alley Pond Striders. He died at the age of 45. The pathway was named in his honor in 1988 and is a popular site for runners today.
Also allocated was $1.6 million by the City Council and Marshall's office to construct a walkway around Oakland Lake. The area floods on a regular basis making it difficult to walk around the 7-10ths of a mile path.
The city has tried numerous remedies, but the area remains wet much of the time. The Parks Department has received a permit from the state Department of Environmental Conservation to proceed with the project.
The city agency is now procuring a contractor and expects work to begin in the spring. The project is anticipated to take a year to complete.
Oakland Lake, part of Alley Pond Park, is a 15,000-year-old spring-fed glacial pond. For almost two decades the city has tried to improve the area. It has cleared invasive species, planted native vegetation and rain gardens to absorb excess moisture, cut down dead trees, removed tons of debris and beautified the park edge facing 56th Street.
The project calls for a raised boardwalk and adding drainage pipes under the path to prevent flooding from water running down the park's slope.

Breaking Local News
Ruling goes in favor of Mine Workers
A ruling by the National Labor Relations Board means jobs and back pay for more than 80 former workers at Horizon Natural Resources in Kanawha County. In the ruling, the board found that Massey Energy and its subsidiary, Mammoth Coal Company, broke the law by refusing to hire workers who had been part of the United Mine Workers of America, when Horizon went bankrupt and Massey bought it in 2004. In a statement, the UMWA president called it a victory for the workers . The companies also have to recognize the UMWA and bargain with the union, if requested, under the ruling. Alpha Natural Resources now owns the site since Alpha bought Massey last year.
Coal industry has major impact on state budget
Coal production is down and that may drag down revenue growth this budget year. Tax collection numbers for September were released Monday and they show most categories at or just below estimates, and coal is the exception. State Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow says $21.2 million in severance tax revenue was collected last month and coal makes up part of that. He says that total is about $11 million below estimates for the month and 50 percent less than last year at this time. The downward trend in coal is having a dramatic impact on the entire revenue picture this budget year.
Local schools try for federal grant money
Kanawha County schools are applying for $25 million in federal Race to the Top education funds. The money would be aimed at cutting down on the high school dropout rate and instillinga a career-minded mentality early on by exposing students to things like auto mechanic and other trade-based skills sets while they're still in elementary school. Kanawha County will request their share of $400 million in federal funds under President Obama's Race to the Top program later this month, and there are plans to start internships with local businesses. You may also see career fairs at middle-schools and revised course material that is more career-focused. The grant money is awarded in December.
Trial set for son accused of attacking mother
The reasons that the mother and son were said to be in the Thomas Memorial Hospital waiting room at the same time are said to be pure coincidence. Talton Pratt was there with his girlfriend, and Marcia Chandler was there visiting her mother. There was a confrontation that day last may, and Talton is accused of attacking his mother and throwing her to the floor, then beating her until she lost consciousness. Pratt pleaded not guilty to several charges Friday and trial has been set for December 17
Long-running grocery store permanently closes its doors
A longtime grocery store has shut its doors for good. The Oakhurst IGA, just off Corridor G, has been open for decades and even survived a gas explosion in the early eighties. That caused the store to close for three years during the rebuilding process, but it eventually reopened. This time the owner of the store sold the building and a new tenant will take over, and decided against making it a grocery store. The Oakhurst IGA closed for good on Saturday evening.
Winfield man sentenced to life in prison
50-year old Eric Brian Pauley of Winfield has been sentenced to life in prison after telling a judge he shot and killed his girlfriend in 2011 because she interrupted his sleep. Pauley pleaded guilty to first-degree murder on Friday in Putnam County Circuit Court and told the judge he shot 52-year-old Debra Rosiek because he was mad that she woke him up in the middle of the night. Pauley will be eligible for parole after 15 years.
Sissonville cleanup a success, more planned
Hundreds turned out over the weekend for the Kanawha County cleanup. The effort kicked off Saturday in Sissonville where everything from tires to household trash, electronics and scrap metal was collected to be sent off for recycling. It's a free service, and it wasn't the last. There are more cleanup sessions planned this fall, including one October 13 in Cabin Creek behind the Go-Mart, and another October 27 at the Rehab Center in Institute.
Boone Co. man may have been murdered for drug money
More now about the death of a 71-year-old Boone County man. The body of Jimmie Cooper was found last week, first discovered after co-workers became concerned that they hadn't seen him for several days. Detectives now say a woman killed him to sell his belongings for drug money. Twenty-year-old Maura Shea Perry of Hamlin has been charged with first degree murder. Boone County Sheriff's Deputies think Perry had an ongoing relationship with Cooper and stole property after the murder, then pawned it to get money for drugs. Cooper's car was found at a park and ride in Scott Depot and several items have been recovered from pawn shops around the Kanawha Valley, according to the sheriff's department.
Man arrested after making threats toward Sissonville football game
A man has been arrested after making threats to a crowd at a Sissonville High school football game over the weekend. 41-year old Shawn Patrick Foglesong of Kelley's Creek was arrested Friday after reportedly telling his therapist he planned to attend the game and shoot people in the crowd. A report from the Kanawha Bureau of Investigation notes the therapist was compelled by law to report the threat to local police. Foglesong's plan was to force officers to shoot him to stop the violence, according to the news release. Officers got a warrant and arrested Foglesong at his home without incident before he attended the game.
Twitter suspends fake WV political accounts
The Democratic party complained about fake accounts, and Twitter shut them down. Accounts set up under the names of West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw and state Sen. Walt Helmick were fakes, and they are no more. Twitter has also suspended at least three other accounts operated by West Virginia Republicans. Most of the accounts had just a few followers and hadn't sent too many tweets when they were suspended. If you want to know whether an account is the real deal, look for that little blue verified check mark.

4 years ago Comments: I've seen what it takes to provide quality 24 hr. care to a quadraplegic. My cousin became paralyzed at the young age of 21. Fortunately my aunt & uncle took care of him all their lives so he received excellent care. When he was first injured there were no special tools to help him become more independent. My uncle made a special device that strapped onto Gene's wrist & hand then a spoon could be attached so Gene was able to feed himself. Next my uncle made a device so Gene could write somewhat. (This was long before computers.) These things helped give him some dignity and a bit of independence. Having quality care is a necessity of life. Please see that David is given his due rights.

The Next Big Thing
Posted by kfzuzulo
The Next Big Thing is whatever you're working on. The Next Big Thing Blog Hop is an opportunity for authors around the world to tell you what that is. Last week, I was tagged by E.M. Powell, author of The Fifth Knight in this literary jaunt around the internet. For her, The Next Big Thing is Blood of the Fifth Knight. Read E.M. Powell's blog about this much anticipated book here. The Fifth Knight is her debut novel. It is published by Thomas & Mercer and is currently on Kindle Serials release in the US, with UK release planned for 2013. And I will heartily agree that this will be the next big thing…because I read The Fifth Knight, which remains a big thing on my list of favorite books.
So now it's my turn to share The Next Big Thing with you.
1) What is the working title of your next book?
The Genie Smolders. Book Two in The Zubis Chronicles
2) Where did the idea come from for the book?
From Book One, which is The Genie Ignites. I needed to continue the story of Zubis and Bethany. I wanted to find out what came next as much as my readers do
3) What genre does your book fall under?
Paranormal Romance.
What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in the movie rendition?
Jason Momoa would make an amazing Zubis. My genie is clean-shaven and although many of Momoa's roles have him bearded and scruffy, he cleans up real good.
Jessica Biel not only has the right look for Bethany O'Brien, she has the intrepid spirit to play a woman who loves a genie, stops a coup, and never gives up.
5) What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
When their child becomes a pawn in a dangerous game between humans and genies, Bethany O'Brien and Zubis will risk the love they share and their own lives to save her.
6) Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
Neither. I submit my books directly to my editor, Christopher Keeslar, at Boroughs Publishing Group.
7) How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
Not including research, about three months.
8) What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
If readers like Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series, Heather Graham's romantic suspense novels, or Nora Roberts' Sign of Seven trilogy, they'll enjoy The Zubis Chronicles.
9) Who or what inspired you to write this book?
It may have been a jinni, but I'd rather not say.
10) What else about the book might pique a reader's interest?
Although this book is fiction, my details around the world of the jinn rely on authentic research into what is actually known and believed about this mystical race. For example, a reader will learn how genies live, how long they live, and how they die…among other things.
The Next Big Thing Blog Hop is winding down now, but there's still time for me to bring to your attention some authors I enjoy reading. This next list of authors are not all hopping in the hop. But they have either recently released or are now working on The Next Big Thing. Check them out; they'are among my favorites.
- Lisa Pietsch is a USAF veteran, a multi-published novelist and freelance writer. See her full bio here, as well as a list of her books. Visit her website to learn more about her kick-ass character Sarah Stevens and get her first novel, The Path to Freedom, for free!
- Susan MacNicol is the author of the romance novel Cassandra by Starlight. Her Next Big Thing is Together by Starlight, coming soon from Boroughs Publishing Group.
- Ann Leary is the author of The Good House, which was just released yesterday. Now, that's big. Go get your copy! She's a witty, sharp, insightful writer you won't be able to put down.
- Daniel Silva is the author of the series of thrillers starring Israeli agent and art restorer Gabriel Allon. His Next Big Thing is The English Girl, to be released this summer.
- Oliver Pötzsch is the author of The Hangman's Daughter series of novels. The Next Big Thing here is The Beggar King: A Hangman's Daughter Tale, which was released last week.
Now get reading!
Best Wishes,

Amazing that the author misses the most vital point - they are there to benefit people on low or no incomes
I have an allotment and love it and i actually love spending my weekends digging up dirt to get carrots. Tomatoes btw grow above ground. There is a sense of enjoyment in doing in and it is a very British thing, that I am proud to have.
Annoyed and frustrasted with my local council however preventing us using hosepipes as our water is metered. I shall begrudgingly hand over my £75 ($119.50) yes I did say £75 for the year, to have the pleasure of it's use for the year.
To see an allotment as just land to grow stuff on is also to miss the point.
I've spent many more calories digging and weeding than I have at the gym. They are social too, especially important (at my plot at least) considering most holders are retired.
Finally, growing such an abundance of food even during the bad years means a cheap and healthy source of sustenance. When you've several kilos of spare beetroot, you learn to like it.
So, cheap, healthy exercise which encourages a social community and healthy eating... I can't understand why there isn't more encouragement from 'above'.
would be fairer and more effective to give the low paid money or to lower council tax for them than to let a minority of rich and poor people hang onto an allotment. They may not even use it productively.
Personally I resent subsidising your hobby or business of growing stuff. The land is worth millions no doubt and all we as taxpayers get is a meagre sum to compensate for the massive capital investment. I am sure pensioners and the low paid are pleased to be subsidising your middle class hobby!
How about a simple technical solution to the problem. No one likes spending their weekends digging up dirt to get some carrots and tomatoes. Set up local greenhouses. Multi story organic hydroponic green houses that churn out mass cheap fresh fruits and vegetables. People can join the coop green house, and then share in the costs via buying a 1/2 share, 1 share or 2 share of product. Simple, technically advanced, and real practical. Heck you can bring food production from the farms into the heart of the city. You can have multi story high rises, that produce groceries right where people consume it. This is where food production needs to go, fresh local produce, where the people are, and make the people part of the process to produce their own food.

Bills' Robert Woods: 'You Gotta Be A Man'
Posted By Sports Talk Florida On December 23, 2013 @ 11:43 AM In News and Rumors,NFL | No Comments
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Robert Woods spoke to reporters Monday for the first time since being ejected in Sunday's victory over the Miami Dolphins, saying he knows what he did was wrong but he felt he had to stand up for himself.
"Of course you shouldn't throw a punch in a football game, but if you're playing outside the rules, sometimes you got to be a man sometimes," Woods said. "But I learned my lesson and just can't do it again."

Federal Employees' Health Benefits:
Effects of Using Pharmacy Benefit Managers on Health Plans, Enrollees, and Pharmacies
GAO-03-196: Published: Jan 10, 2003. Publicly Released: Jan 10, 2003.

(202) 512-7059
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Rising prescription drug costs have contributed to rising employer health plans premiums in recent years. Most federal employees, retirees, and their dependents participating in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), are enrolled in plans that contract with pharmacy benefit managers (PBM) to administer their prescription drug benefits. GAO was asked to examine how pharmacy benefits managers participating in the federal program affect health plans, enrollees, and pharmacies. GAO examined the use of PBMs by three plans representing about 55 percent of the 8.3 million people covered by FEHBP plans. For example, GAO surveyed 36 retail pharmacies on prices that a customer without third party coverage would pay for 18 high-volume or high-expenditure drugs and compared these prices to prices paid by the plans and PBMs.
The PBMs reviewed produced savings for health plans participating in FEHBP by obtaining drug price discounts from retail pharmacies and dispensing drugs at lower costs through mail-order pharmacies, passing on certain manufacturer rebates to the plans, and operating drug utilization control programs. For example, the average price PBMs obtained from retail pharmacies for 14 brand name drugs was about 18 percent below the average price paid by customers without third-party coverage. Enrollees in the plans reviewed had wide access to retail pharmacies, coverage of most drugs, and benefited from cost savings generated by the PBMs. Enrollees typically paid lower out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions filled through mail-order pharmacies and benefited from other savings that reduced plans' costs and therefore helped to lessen rising premiums. Most retail pharmacies participate in the FEHBP plans' networks in order to obtain business from the large number of enrollees covered. Pharmacy associations report that the PBMs' large market shares leave some retail pharmacies with little leverage in negotiating with PBMs. Retail pharmacies must accept discounted reimbursements from PBMs they contract with and perform additional administrative tasks associated with claims processing. OPM generally concurred with GAO's findings. The plans and PBMs reviewed provided technical comments, and two independent reviewers stated the report was fair and balanced. One pharmacy association expressed strong concerns, including that the report did not more broadly address economic relationships in the PBM industry. GAO examined relationships between the PBMs and manufacturers and pharmacies specific to their FEHBP business. However, relationships between PBMs and other entities for other plans were beyond the report's scope.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Tarantino's slave high jinks doesn't claim historical accuracy, but ends up being the most truthful among the Oscar winners
- Published: 15 Mar 2013 at 00.00 | Viewed: 2,740 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Life
- Writer: Kong Rithdee
Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained is a happy whip, drawing as much blood as laughter. It runs on Road Runner humour, fired by cruel comedy, cartoon revenge, cracking you up and making you wince, and that balancing act has always been one of the secrets of Tarantino's brilliance. Still, this is a serious film about history and how cinema appropriates history. In a year that most Oscar-contending titles lay pompous claims to accurate retelling of the past, from Argo, Zero Dark Thirty and Lincoln, the blissful disregard of "history" somehow makes Django the most truthful film of the lot. Or at least it feels truthful in spirit, leaving the grandstanding of other filmmakers looking spurious, frivolous, or simply wrong.
Jamie Foxx is an ex-slave on a mission in Django Unchained.
The Jews got to club the Nazis in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, now it's the black slaves who get to cane the white masters. Set in the pre-emancipated American South, Django Unchained could have been a prequel to Steven Spielberg's Lincoln (which opens here next Thursday), a sort of wacky brother to the headmasterish elder. In Basterds, Tarantino's half-playful, half-serious scheme to show how cinema can alter World War II history is an open conspiracy; in Django, the subversiveness is aimed at both the shameful past of the birth of the American nation and at American cinema that has long skirted the subject. The two films are often described as "revenge fantasy", and because fantasy is to look at truth from a different angle, it can sometimes hit the nail more directly in the head. It can also give us _ us being neither black nor white _ a jolly good laugh along the way.

scared at first site
I was a little scared to try these out with the areas that touch the board. I thought they would be way to flexy and that I wouldn't be able to do good tricks. First run down they did feel a little weird, but throughout the day I started to get good at them and they felt like pretty great bindings. I liked that I didn't have any pain from tightening them and they kept my foot in good. As much as I liked these bindings I think I will send them back and stick with my contrabands.

Maniston Get Busy in the Backseat
Jennifer Aniston is clearly into John Mayer, so much so she used her VIP access in the wings to snap pictures while Mayer crooned to an audience of thousands in London's Hyde Park during his performance for the Hard Rock Calling concert on Saturday.
One night earlier, the star of He's Just Not That into You was spotted at John's recital at the Brixton Academy, after which the two enjoyed some limo nooky. How very senior prom of them.
It's all so Adnan Ghalib and Britney Spears:
Jen acts like she's sneaking pictures of John, who pretends he doesn't want anyone to snap photos of him. Then they go crazy on each other while the pics upload to her laptop. Hotness.

Gates begins farewell visits with troops
June 5, 2011 - 1:32 AM
FORWARD OPERATING BASE WALTON, Afghanistan (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is beginning two days of farewell visits to remote U.S. troop bases in Afghanistan.
He began by flying Sunday morning to a base near Kandahar City in southern Afghanistan, where he was greeting soldiers and having lunch with junior enlisted troops.
Gates, who is retiring June 30, is assessing the situation ahead of a presidential decision within weeks on the start of a U.S. troop withdrawal this summer.

Waning Pax Americana - U.S. Intelligence Sees China Overtaking U.S. Economy by 2030 – http://abcn.ws/UtZHXK (Ryan)
The 'Cliff', as Viewed from Detroit – Devin Dwyer reports: If President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner are making any progress towards a "fiscal cliff" deal, Obama didn't hint at it today during his campaign-style stop in suburban Detroit. Obama is using the trip to highlight the jobs news as a bright spot in uncertain economic times, while trying to bolster his image as a "warrior for the middle class." Before a backdrop of auto workers, Obama renewed his push to extend for 98 percent of Americans the current tax rates which are set to expire at the end of the year. But even as the president has carried on with his public pressure, there are some signs of progress back in Washington. The president met with Boehner in person for the first time in 23 days to discuss the fiscal cliff on Sunday. There was no apparent resolution, but the two camps issued the same statement afterward. http://abcn.ws/Rl86Cp
'Right to Work' in Michigan, as Viewed from Washington - Michigan is smack dab in the middle of a heated battle over controversial right-to-work legislation, and on Monday, before several hundred UAW workers and the Michigan Democratic congressional delegation, President Obama waded into a brewing fight over the pending legislation that would curb union influence across the state… If the bill is passed and signed Tuesday, which is when the legislature reconvenes in the state, Michigan will become the 24th right-to-work state, and Snyder will likely face a political backlash in the state that gave birth to the U.S. labor movement.

Colorado Compact - A dairy farmer, a bishop and a Latino rights advocate all signed a compact. It sounds like the start to a bad joke, but it's actually an attempt in one of the nation's most compelling swing states to recognize the importance of immigration reform. Following a year and a half of about 200 meetings and planning sessions, Senator Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and former Senator Hank Brown, R-Colo.,unveiled what they are calling the Colorado Compact on Sunday at the University of Denver. Nearly 100 diverse signatories, from Latino outreach groups to state agriculture groups, signed the compact, which is "an effort to convene and promote a reasonable conversation on immigration in Colorado that could lead to real and lasting federal reform." http://abcn.ws/TMbGRC

The charge, buried in a recent regulation, works out to tens of millions of dollars for the largest companies, employers say.

Ingram Micro Inc. Presents At Barclays Capital Global Technology, Media And Telecommunications Conference, May-23-2012 01:45 PM
So those are the overall goals. They were dependent on -- and there was a couple of assumptions that were included in there or a revenue growth expectation over the 3 years before 2015 and including 2015 of 4.5% to 6.5% revenue growth run rate. Which if you look at overall global demand and global spend, especially back in November. That was roughly around mid-single digits where IT demand was forecasted by the IDC as the gardeners of the world. And we did expect a gross margin level of 5.4% to 5.65%. Overall, we were -- when we set those targets for gross margin, which kind of built into our overall operating margin, we're coming off of what I would say a gross margin low for us in the third quarter of 2011 of about 4.95%. So that impacted some of our target setting at that point in time. Since then, we've made some great progress on that.
Now overall, so those are our overall targets. I would imagine the next question would be what are your key drivers there.
Benjamin A. Reitzes - Barclays Capital, Research Division
You got it.
William D. Humes Sure. So I'm a good a setup man for that. As I talk about on the overall leverage side of things from the 4.5% to 6.5% revenue growth expectations, we do expect to deliver about 25 to 35 basis points of operating margin leverage by really holding OpEx fairly consistent to just slightly above half the rate of sales growth. So obviously, if there's a lower level of revenue growth, it's a little bit more challenging to drive a lot of operating leverage. But if there's higher growth rate towards the 6.5% range of revenue, then having OpEx growth monitored and managed at that reasonable level is fairly well controlled and very confident in being able to do that.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

This is my least favorite massage bar. Smells OK, not great-a mild chocolate with strong orange tones. It moisturizes well as do all the massage bars, but it's difficult to maneuver with my hand. This doesn't rub easily over the skin at all. I'll stick with my tried and true SFF and Mange Too.
NO. JUST NO. I don't know if i got bad(poor quality) one since I ordered it online, or every friends with benefits massage bar smells like that, but I gotta tell you: This is the worst massage bar I have ever smelled in my whole life!! It gave me an instant headache and I had to throw it away! Waste of money! Please do not buy it online without testing it in the store first or you might end up disappointed just like me. Big mistake. Big. Huge.
Smells EXACTLY like a chocolate orange :) I use this as a moisturizer and it works very well. It does take a while to sink in, about 10 min, which is fine with me. Seriously amazing scent though, nothing artificial about it. Would buy again :)
Loooove this massage bar! I bought it to replace my Soft Coeur, and I like it even better. It has a gorgeous chocolate scent and works just as a massage bar should.
smells very distinctly of chocolate, a little like chocolate orange and a little spicy. the essential oils are probably responsible for that slightly savoury, spiciness. but like many have said, that gives it a very decadent, expensive independent chocolate boutique kind of feel! i feel like this is the kind of scent that has to slowly grow on you, because in my opinion it's very unconventionally chocolate-smelling.
this is very rich and enveloping, and this settles into my skin over time into a very woody chocolate, and this also is so unbelievably moisturising. which is why i love it for winter.
personally, this doesn't compare in my opinion to 'Mange Too', their discontinued massage bar, which was truly amazing. however, this is still nice and it does make me feel very cosy and pampered, so i would buy again.

Mark Sanford has overcome his past–for now. The disgraced former South Carolina governor ran a successful Republican primary campaign for the House seat he held in the 1990s, besting attorney and former Charleston County Council member Curtis Bostic Tuesday night in a runoff.
Sanford's win followed a 16-way first round of the GOP primary, in which he rose above a large and varied field of South Carolina politicos.
But more importantly, it followed nearly four years in the political wilderness. In 2009, Sanford revealed an extramarital affair with Maria Belen Chapur, now his fiancee, during one of the most memorable and strange political press conferences of the century, punctuated by personal openness and tears, after going AWOL for seven days, leading staff and public alike to believe he was hiking on the Appalachian Trail. It seemed he would never surface in politics again.
Sanford said as much, two years later: "No, I'm not," Sanford told Fox News' Sean Hannity in 2011, when asked if he was considering a return to politics.
It's difficult to say whether Sanford's win on Tuesday night was triumphant.
He took 57 percent to Bostic's 43 percent–a substantial margin, but perhaps not what one would expect of a former statewide officeholder with near-universal recognition in the district.
Forgiveness was an early theme in Sanford's campaign, featured in his first TV ad in the district, and Sanford will now test voters' forgiveness against Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert.
The question now becomes: Could Sanford blow it?
The First District favors Republicans, in a big way. No Democrat has represented it in Congress since 1981.
Still, Sanford brings his unique problems to the race.
Aside from the question of whether Sanford's highly public extramarital affair will damage his standing, particularly among female voters, one South Carolina Republican insider suggested to ABC News that voters would forgive his personal conduct–but not his "abandoning" the state while on his then-mysterious Argentinian trip.
Another South Carolina GOP politico, who worked for Sanford primary rival Larry Grooms, suggested Colbert Busch has a real shot.
"Yes, very much so," said Hogan Gidley, a former state party director and former consultant for Rick Santorum's presidential campaign. "She's well-known, she's well-liked and she's well-respected. It's just a political reality that it will be very difficult for Sanford to attack her in any way … [that] could trump party loyalty as a motivator. If it does you'll see the fiscal conservatives and social conservatives sending a loud message we are not just about winning, principals really do matter."
No poll has been conducted in the district that meets ABC's standards for reliability. Although Colbert Busch claims to lead Sanford both in horse-race polling and in favorability, based on a survey her campaign commissioned, she hasn't yet endured the withering attacks sure to come her way, almost certain to paint her as an Obama-loving liberal who lacks fiscal-conservative cred. The National Republican Congressional Committee is already criticizing Colbert Busch for her support for parts of the president's health law, although not yet in paid advertising. On top of that, Mitt Romney won the district handily over President Obama in the fall.
One South Carolina Republican questioned whether Colbert Busch's star power, and the attention that Democrats from other states will give her, would help or hurt her in a heavily Republican district.
Sanford will have until May 7 to tell voters about his opponent, as the focus now shifts from his own improbable comeback to a race against a Democratic opponent who, some think, could turn a deep red district blue.

The cost for a Christmas tree this year will be: £50.00.

Please post your payment to: the Alresford Pigs Association, C/o Barnes and Liddiard, 26 The Dean, Alresford, Hampshire, SO24 9AZ.
On-line booking and payment here
The closing date for ordering your tree is Saturday 15th November.
The trees will be erected on Saturday 29th November and

IUD found as best form of birth control
Tuesday, June 21, 2011 - 2:29pm
NBC NEWS — A new bulletin from the American College of OBGYN's says IUD's are the most effective form of contraception.
Intra-Uterine devices and implants have the lowest pregnancy rate of all forms of contraception.
Doctors say the upfront costs are high, and women need to go to the doctor's office to have the procedure. But, over the long run they are more cost effective than other methods.
Doctors also say complications are extremely rare.
