"Children Croossing"? What's "Croossing"? Are they crooning while they're crossing? Look left, look right, shoobie shoobie do?

I originally read that as "Children Grooming" and figured the owner was being a little too honest about why he took the job.

Natural landscaping ideas needed
I'm in northern lower Michigan. I need some natural landscaping ideas for a house I just bought in a wooded area. The yard has been neglected. The side yard was once used as a dog run, which appealed to me because it's completely fenced and my dog needs to be contained or he'll wander. It was pretty rough looking when I moved in. I had the "field" mowed down, then I raked it and cleaned out the debris.
I know what I want, but I'm not sure how to execute it. I want to have a nice lawn in front with a stone or brick path down the middle. The sides bordering the trees and toward the back I want to leave natural so it blends into the woods. I also started a brush & compost pile in the back that I want to camouflage.
I also want to put in some kind of natural border. I have lots of fallen trees on the property and thought I could use them. Any ideas on how to do that? Then I'd like to encourage the ferns and other natural vegetation to grow behind the border and in front of the trees. Are sumacs a bad idea? I know they're invasive and there's a drain field close by.
This picture shows the entry way from the deck. There's a gate there and that's where I want the path to start.
Here's a wider view. I want the lawn to end just beyond that group of shrubs (choke berry?) The brush pile is on the left. On the right is a fence bordering the front yard, so that side will be all lawn. The drain field is on this side too so I have to keep it clear. That cement block is covering the sewer pipe! I'm looking into getting a proper cover put on.
I'd love any ideas. I'm looking for easy maintenance and cheap. I have enough to deal with on the other 3 sides of my house. I'll be doing the work myself... except for the path because I have a bad back.

If you live in the country like I think you do you are going to have weeds and a large garden is out of the question with your back. I would use those logs to make a split rail fence along the side and plant a hardy vine like honeysuckle or hops along the fence. You may have to put up a lattice for it to climb on at first but it should soon take over.
Where that clump of small trees are I'd make an oblong flower bed and plant low care perennials and wild flowers native to your area. You can edge it with whatever you do the path out of or trench it. That would be enough for you to weed. You can put patches of native wildflowers (to your area) here and there to break up the expanse of trees. I wouldn't try to manage or do much weeding of these except to pull out the most obnoxious of them.
I think it's a beautiful property as is. I like the stone path idea. I would have the path open up into a patio where you can set up a seating area for the morning coffee. Creeping Thyme would look nice bordering the path.
I would use taller shrubs like ninebark darts gold, (ninebark is native, and comes in several colors/sizes) way back towards the trees, to soften the edge of the forest. Maybe put different low growing evergreen shrubs in, as you get closer to fallen logs that form the grassy area border. Sumac is lovely, but I would choose a colorful variety, like tigerseyes, using foliage for contrast, instead of relying on flowers. Epimedium is a flowering, dry shade ground cover, some having near red leaves. Flowers geranium Rozanne blue flowers, all summer in loose drifts.
Unbiddenn, these are awesome ideas. Really makes it easy to visualize. Going to save all these suggestions.
Now that things are cooling off I can start working on the lawn. It's much greener since that picture was taken, but still full of weeds. Sewer pipe is covered & buried, so I can check that off the list!

Awake: A Fairytale
by Jessica Grey (Goodreads Author)
by Jessica Grey (Goodreads Author)
Carla Laureano's review
May 25, 12
Fast, fun retelling of the classic "Sleeping Beauty" story with a little bit of a girl-power twist. Quite honestly, the writing was cleaner and more descriptive than I usually find in self-published books, which I enjoyed, but the climax built too fast and the book ended somewhat abruptly. It would be a good read for the under-16 set, or any grown-up who likes to remember their goofy and self-conscious youth.

text: |Welcome back to Bloomington, Ind., where some of Kingsbury's most popular Christian novels are set. Kingsbury's latest feel-good offering launches a new four-book series to follow the Baxter Family Dramas, which have nearly two million copies in print. She introduces a few new faces and follows familiar characters like the Baxters through their mostly sunny lives. Unfortunately, the plot is all but nonexistent. Hunky actor Dayne Matthews and the lovely Katy Hart are engaged to be married, but they face a dilemma: how to plan a private wedding that won't be overrun by reporters desperate for a shot of the Hollywood heartthrob tying the knot. Dayne hires a Tinseltown wedding planner who specializes in secret star nuptials, although Katy frets that keeping the wedding hush-hush may necessitate deceiving some close friends and relatives. Meanwhile, Jim Flanigan, football coach at Clear Creek High, suspects his players are drinking and tries to crack down. Inspirational platitudes litter the pages ("Jim already knew the possibilities. Now it was a matter of trusting God for the outcome"). Readers new to Kingsbury will have a little trouble keeping the characters straight and figuring out the backstory, but her many fans will relish this visit with old and new friends, despite the cliches.

Franklin — The plan commission decided a funeral home may not be a suitable replacement for the city's old bowling alley during a meeting April 17.
The commission voted unanimously to recommend denial of an application proposing to turn the former Root River Center bowling alley and banquet hall facility, located at 7220 W. Rawson Ave., into a funeral home for Milwaukee's Hmong population.
The Hmong, an Asian ethnic group, have special rituals for their funeral services, and the proposed funeral home would require 24-hour operation during weekends.
Franklin Planning Manager Joel Dietl said there were residential concerns that the funeral home's requirements did not fit in with the neighborhood.
"There was concern about a 24-hour operation … and that the applicant wanted to leave the building open for other uses, but couldn't say exactly what for," Dietl said.
The commission also wanted additional sidewalks and a rejuvenated exterior to the property, but the applicant, Lamont Thao, did not wish to abide by those conditions, Dietl said.
Alderman Dan Mayer, who oversees the district that the bowling alley is in, said the building has potential for better-suited purposes.
"I know the last thing we want in the city is another vacant building, but that does not mean we should jump at the first proposal that come along," Mayer said. "I think that a funeral home is not a good fit for this building. I firmly believe that something better will come along or maybe the building should be raised and a new development put in."
The commission's recommendation will be brought before the common council at a future meeting for a final decision.

'Show Us the MF Money' Part II: Latest Round of Corzine Congressional Testimony
**Written by Doug Powers
Yet another day of "Occupy Congressional Hearing" for former MF Global CEO & Joe Biden phone-a-friend economic advice lifeline, Jon Corzine. C-SPAN 3 is carrying the hearing live.
From USA Today:
WASHINGTON – Jon Corzine has told a Senate panel that he never told anyone to "misuse" customer money that vanished when MF Global collapsed this fall.
An estimated $1.2 billion in client money is missing. Senators are demanding Corzine and two other executives at the securities firm explain who authorized the transfer of money in the days before the firm collapsed in the eighth-largest bankruptcy in U.S. history.
"I never gave any instruction to anyone at MF Global to misuse customer funds," Corzine testified at a hearing of the Senate Agriculture Committee on Tuesday.
Corzine, a former Democratic New Jersey senator and governor, resigned as CEO of the securities firm last month.
Bradley Abelow, the firm's president and chief operating officer, and Henri Steenkamp, the chief financial officer, also tried to distance themselves from any decision to transfer the money at the hearing.
All three witnesses said that they don't know where the money is.
Yet their testimony varied in subtle ways. Corzine said he did not direct anyone to misuse the money. Abelow said he does not recall directing anyone to divert the money. Steenkamp said clearly that he did not "authorize, approve or know of any transfers of customer funds" out of their accounts."
Wow. It's like asking my kids what happened to the $1.2 billion worth of cookies that were in the jar.
Meanwhile, the RNC is seizing the day:

U.S. In Danger of Losing Earth-Observing Satellite Capability 258
from the well-that's-embarrassing dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
We'll just outsource it all to India and China.
This is a simple problem to solve. All they have to do is label the satellites as "anti-terrorist", or something like that, and they'll get all the funding they need.

2. ????
3. Jesus Comes
Congressman: So this satellite...
NASA: The "A-TOP" Anti-Terrorist Observation Platform, sir.
Congressman: It says it's for observing terrorists, but it looks like it's for monitoring the weather...
NASA: It's for monitoring terrorist efforts to use the weather as a weapon, sir.
Congressman: They can do that?!?
NASA: They're very clever, sir.
We don't need no fancy satellites -- I bet they were dreamed up by some liberal thinker at a UNIVERSITY.
Jesus and the Bible tell us everything we need to know about climate changes, and that's that the world is going to burn. Judgment Day is approaching and those who aren't saved are going to burn to death forever.
Don't knock the F-22. It's a great plane--as long as the person flying it doesn't need oxygen, anyway.
A perfect example of Short-Sightedness.
No doubt the free market will step in and launch satellites that are better, faster, and cheaper.
But you'll have to pay for it.
But there's a silver lining to this cloud!.
At least people will stop blaming the government for not predicting hurricanes and tornados!

My iPhone got wet!
Hi , i dropped my iPhone 4 in the toilet , the thing is that it didnt turn off when i removed it from the toilet, so it kept turned on till the second day then it was off, i put it in rice from 3 days ,and then plug it into the mains,the iTunes symbol shows up and if i remove the iPhone from the mains,it immediately turns off ,i tried restoring through iTunes , but i got an error 1611 .. i tried restoring in dfu mode also i got an error .. some guys told me that its a battery problem and i need to change it,any help ?the iPhone is 15 days old ,and i barely used it,i am so upset :( thanks everyone!
Edited by: oldturkey03 ( )
Bahij, I would start of with this Guide After that I would most certainly change the battery. Water and the batteries do not get along at all. Reevaluate when you have this accomplished. foolow the guides listed on the right hand side of this page to get to your battery. They also sell the proper tools on here. There of course is also the possibility that it is not your battery but your dock connector. Anyhow, follow the guide, change the battery and recheck
Bro i live in Lebanon and they don't ship the tools here to Lebanon i don't know why . I am scared that the logic board might be damaged . i took it to a local store here in my country , he told me that its totally immersed in water and is dead forever , but i am not sure , cause here they don't have much experience in iPhones . Regards
Even so it has been totally submersed, there is no way I would give up on it. Still follow the guide. Have you contacted ifixit for the tools and see if they ship to Lebanon? If not may be somebody could help you out from here and send it to you.
I was thinking of sending it to my friend in Canada , I heard that apple replaces water damaged iPhones if we pay an out of warranty (OOW) which is 220$ + tax in Canada , and i think if i disassemble it they won't replace it . do u have any info about that bro ?
I do know that the program exist but " For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications." So it is still Apples call if you are going to get it fixed. At this time you do not have anything to lose. I suppose. Go give it a try. http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=s...
Accepted Answer
The first thing to do is take it apart and inspect it. Try this guide:
and then let it dry for a couple of days. A iPhone 4 battery is cheap so I would try that first.
Edited by: Jake Devincenzi ( )
Nope it does not boot up if i connect it to iTunes, it just gives the iTunes symbol and a USB cable . Thanks
Here is what I would do if I were you. Call Apple and set up a repair/replacem
Yeah thats what i am going to do ! I am thinking of sending it to my friend in Canada so that he sends it to the apple store , but i am concerned about the sending it and paying the shipment fee(which is rather high here) and then apple rejects to replace it . Anyway i am going to give it a shot ! its worth doing it ! it would be great to get a new iPhone even if its refurb. ! Thanks for the info bro !
My country is not supported by apple.. so i cant call apple .I dialed the Canadian number for the apple store , they said that i don't have enough credits to call them ! and i have 50$ in my phone ! how is it possible that it costs more than 50$ to call apple ? :S
definitely putting in rice will not solve your problem.
If it is still under warranty take it back for a replacement.
If not send it to a qualified repair tech. This phone will have to be
disassembled cleaned up, restored and some parts will need replacement.
Have a niceday.
Yeah it is still under warranty but if it got water damaged , the warranty will be voided . Cheers
How do you remove all the dirt and corrosion?
Get 99% Isopropyl alcohol, take the phone apart and let it sit in it for a day or 2 to clean off any gook and let it dry throughly,
I cannot think of it, but there are 2 types of water(ironic, I know) that will do this, I don't remember what types
NEVER put the battery in no matter what, you may short it and it may work!
In regards to the screwdriver, it will need a Pentelobe screwdriver, I do not think radio shack sells that, but they sell the phillips you need, water sensor wise, there is one in the headphone jack , one in the dock connector, some in the phone
Here is the water damage guide
and the pentelobe screwdriver
Also, IPA stands for isopropyl alcohol
When you asked about accessory and why I am afraid if apple, I thought I would take a few minutes to explain now when I should be in bed, so that version of accessory means I helped you do something illegal and I knew that, so the court can potentally get a warrant and track our IP addresses, come to our houses and take our computers, heck, we might even be in jail
*I do not claim to be a lawyer, I found this out on google so if you want proper legal advice, do not ask me, call a lawyer and ask them, they went through law school and know a lot more about legal stuff then I ever will*

Compatible with the type 5IPR fasteners used on the iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5. Swivel top handle with precision tip driver. — 50+ available at 11.95 each.

So? what should i do ? i really need help guys ! i would be so happy if you helped me out , since i don't have an apple shop in my country (lebanon), and i don't have an idea about opening an iPhone .. I don't have the right tools :S
It was sort of a controversial way to make water sensors white
Do what I suggested with IPA, that will yield some serious successes, so that may work
I didn't get it , what should i do then ? please can you speak something clear since i don't know how to make the sensors white nor what is IPA .. Cheers

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Here's a project with multiple uses! This Picket Fence Holder from Terry Ricioli makes unique napkin rings and unique votive candle holders! This cute and versatile project is great for wedding favors or spring decor!
- Picket fence
- Craft wire
- Acrylic beads
- Glass votive candle holder and votive candle
- Wire cutters
- Pliers
- Paint color of your choice
- Paintbrush
- Cut the picket fence where it meets when wrapped around the votive.
- Press the wire ends against the pickets with the pliers.
- Paint the fence in your favorite spring color.
- Cut a piece of wire about 8" long and leaving a tail, wrap it around a picket on one end of the fence and then the other end to hold the fence in a circle. Add beads to the ends of the wire and curl the ends of the wire. Craft wire is easy to curl using a pencil or a dowel, or you can use round nose pliers. Cut another piece of wire and make another wrap in the same way to secure the ends together.
- Continue the process varying the lengths of the wire and placement on the fence until it's covered as much as you like, adding beads as you go. Slide it over the votive.
- Here's a set in green. You can also use this design as a napkin ring. Or, you could put it around a small vase or flower pot.

This is a fun vintage amber Lucite drops swag necklace. There are no markings. The metal is brass. The necklace has 2 chains in front, 1 with 6 and the longer with 9 drops. The 2 chains are joined to the larger single necklace chain that has a sturdy spring ring clasp in back. Each amber Lucite drop is made from a bead capped by a fancy many pronged cap.
This necklace is has a wearable length of 16" aroundand teh swag has approximately a 2" drop in front.
Condition is good, with expected patina from age.
I estimate that this necklace dates from circa 1940s-1950s. It is a fun piece of vintage costume jewelry to add to your wardrobe.

This is part of our real world test regiment. Roughly 45GB of data resides on the target drive before the '15GB Block' is transfer. The 15GB Block is the same data we built for the Data on Disk Testing and is a mix of compressible and incompressible data.
Transferring mixed compressible and incompressible data though shows the performance hit when writing data to the drive. The write directory copy performance is down quite a bit when compared to the other drives on the chart.

Watson: Being the new kid on the block
When I had only been in Wichita Falls a few months, I attended a meeting in our newspaper's auditorium and walked around the room to introduce myself.
It was the polite thing to do, I thought.
New to the community, and oblivious to the six degrees of separation that exists in such a small-big town, I greeted each person as a unique individual whose history was, to me, a clean slate.
I didn't know anyone from Adam, and I certainly didn't know Adam was married to Eve, or had once been married to Eve, and that you're not supposed to mention to Eve you know Adam.
It's a sticky situation, being new to a town.
Even after two decades, twice as long as I've lived anywhere else, I still feel, and am sometimes treated, like the new kid in town.
But 20 years ago, at that meeting where members of the community participated, I was the new kid in town, and deserved the benefit of the doubt.
Making my way around the room, I extended my hand, introduced myself and waited for the other person to give his or her name. Our guests were not wearing name tags, where I could mentally link names to simple biographies I had tried to commit to memory, so any offering of information was greatly appreciated.
All but one told me their name.
We shook hands, and I waited.
Awkward silence.
"And you are ..."
It's not the classiest way to ask a person's name, sure. But just standing there, waiting, I could think of no other way.
"Sugar," the older woman said, "If you don't know who the heck I am, you've obviously not lived in this town long enough." Ouch.
Maybe I flinched as if I'd been slapped; it still stings to think about it now. Not so much because of what she said, but because, after I relayed the encounter to colleagues later, they said one of two things:
"You should have known who she was."
"She didn't mean it that way."
Right, to the first option.
Sure felt like she meant it, to the second.
Through the years, I've learned quite a bit about this person, long-since passed away. She was a pillar of the community, a legend in her field. She knew it, and she relished it. I enjoyed crossing paths with her, and she never mentioned our first encounter. Maybe she didn't remember. Maybe she did that to everyone.
While I've accepted the notion that her introduction was somewhat charming rather than solely scolding, I still don't like being told, by the person in question, just how famous he or she is.
Obviously you're not.
Someone tried to tell me that last week, in a nearly 30-minute conversation that detailed why he was so famous, and why everyone in the world knew exactly who he was.
Not everyone.
I'd never say that out loud.
And, I've learned, that those who deserve to be famous never really tell you just how famous they are.
The most cherished stories I've told at this newspaper have been about people we all know, but who started the conversation with, "I have no idea why you'd want to tell a story about me."
I jump at the chance to tell those stories.
One of my favorite news obituaries started with a proud son saying, "He was just Dad."
Some folks don't need to tell you just how well-known they are.
It's kind of like telling someone how much money you have. You just don't.
And you don't ask. I learned that, too, when I asked a rather successful rancher how many head of cattle he worked.
"A few," he said politely. A few, apparently, means tens of thousands.
Rather classy, famously so.

Japan Plucks Sweden's Ukelele World Record
Originally published on Tue July 31, 2012 12:25 pm
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
Japan has edged out Sweden for a world record. No, not the Olympics but the Guinness Record for largest ukulele ensemble. More than 2,000 people in Yokohama went to the street to strum their tiny Hawaiian instruments. Trying to top the record is becoming a sport in its own right. Earlier this month in Cairns, Australia, people took on the Swedish record, but they missed the mark by a 150 strummers.

The best for my body type I love 937str (all I wear) but my 36 x 34 are a little small now, but I don,t need 38 waist, I NEED 37 x 34 Help March 23, 2015
Need additional lengths Love the Wrangler products but your jeans have only a minimum length of 30". I have short legs which need an inseam of 28". Would like to see the jeans having a shorter inseam in consideration of shorter people. April 20, 2014
Great fit! I love the color of these jeans and they are very comfortable! You get your moneys worth!! December 9, 2013
Just what I was looking for I generally wear the regular fit and they are a little "baggy" on me. Now that I have worn the slim fit I will stay with it. I am also pleasently suprised at how light the stretch jeans are. I live in the south and it gets hot so the lighter the better for me. April 12, 2013
good fit A little stretch in fabric makes all the difference in comfort for me. Usually comfort jeans are baggy, unflattering - not so with these. You can look good and feel good in this style. Very happy i found these online. March 18, 2013
The quality of these jeans was excellent I liked the overall slim fit in the rise and seat but the legs were a bit larger than expected. The color was great and lasted thru numerous washings. I will buy another pair but wish the legs were slimmer January 26, 2013

A royal farewell
The textbook will close on Woodbury High School Principal Linda Plante's storied career.
Plante will retire at the end of the school year after 12 years as principal at WHS.
The Cottage Grove resident has been with District 833 for a total of 20 years.

Don't squeeze the Charmin!
Forget for a moment (if you can) recent events on the Hill. The story of that week, possibly the month, or maybe even the year, Mr Editor, may yet turn out to be the one headlined: "Charman: Corporate tax would benefit Bermuda."
Heads were spinning, phones ringing and tongues wagging, I bet, after that one — and I won't even get into what was tearing up the blogs. It was no early April's Fool joke either. It read like Mr Charman was...

Why our politicians need tighter briefs
There must be some other way, Mr Editor, and of course there is.
It is just a matter of will and reorganisation on the Hill. We just need Government to lead the way and Ministers to start by tightening their briefs. Say what?
I am, of course, referring to the recently concluded annual Budget Debate, which actually very rarely resembles debate and all too often, if you happen to tune in (good luck), sounds more like remedial...

It ain't easy. Mr Editor, never was — and most likely never will be. Think about it for a minute: long days, late nights, three times a week for two weeks. A Budget debate that is anything but a debate. Two parties, two viewpoints and some very strong differences of opinion — and that's putting it mildly: maybe too mildly in view of recent events. Invariably decisions that go against you and, wham, bam, thank you ma'am, it's a wonder that all...

PAC: we can learn a lot from across the pond
Readers write, Mr Editor, and I am grateful. They are never wrong and I generally enjoy what they have to say. This week I feature what one astute reader had to share with me: the views of the retired head of the UK Civil service, Lord O'Donnell, on the importance of the work of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) across the pond.
This reader has obviously been keeping up with what I have been writing about PAC here and its most recent...

Collaboration? Maybe a lot more than you think
Here's a novel exercise to undertake, Mr. Editor, when assessing the Annual Budget Debate. Let's look for a change at the issues and approaches on which the Government and Opposition appear to agree and put to one side for a moment the differences, the real, the imagined and the manufactured. You might be surprised (pleasantly, I hope) at the number of items on the list. Heck, you might also start to think that there is sufficient common...

Do we really need outsiders to do our work?
This is serious business, Mr Editor, governing Bermuda. If you had no sense of how serious — and that's no small "if", you do now.
The 2015/16 Budget Statement makes it pretty clear, although I agree pretty is not exactly the right word here.
What makes it even clearer is the apparent about-face the Minister of Finance and his Government are about to take. Despite signs that the economy may be turning around, albeit slowly, and...

People pin hopes on results, not promises
Tough: that is what we have been told to expect with the 2015-16 Government Budget. We will soon know whether that means tough for those who had to put it together, or tough on all the rest of us. Or both.
No guesses or predictions or special wishes here; the document is drafted and ready for delivery, and instead today, Mr Editor, a kind of political potpourri of leftovers as we brace ourselves for the worst. But you will detect a...

DUI stats say it all, let's find a solution
Traffic, Mr Editor, traffic: it seems everyone has an opinion about the problem and the solution — and why not?
We are all drivers, riders or users of the road in some way, form or fashion; and if we are all a part of the problem — and we are — then we should all be part of the solution.
Road summits are good. So, too, will be any sustained multifaceted education campaign. But a one-off big police crackdown, I am not so sure.
Feb 16, 2015 8:00 am
Time for PAC to flex its legislative muscle
PAC, man, is no game. Nor should it be, Mr Editor. At least not the one I am constantly going on about. Readers will know where I stand on the matter of the Public Accounts Committee. It is long since time that this bipartisan parliamentary committee started to flex its legislative muscle and got on with the job of tracking how our Government manages our money and not just years after the fact, after funds have been spent and the damage has...
Feb 13, 2015 8:00 am
Conflation – we need more of it, folks!
Talk about juxtaposition Mr Editor. Former Premier and astute businessman Sir John Swan thinks we are about to fall off the edge of a cliff. An OBA spokesperson affirms her party's confidence in a confidence survey of Bermuda businessmen which indicates that we may be turning the corner, and declares that the Government is on the right track.
Confused? Don't be. They are only opinions and both may be right. We may yet go...

Brace yourself for possible health rates shock
It was only a small slip, of information, Mr. Editor, but it struck me as a possible tell. In the throes of the dispute over furlough days, the BPSU declared that they had been threatened with a 19 per cent hike in health insurance premiums. Around about the same time, the rest of us were put on notice by the Finance Minister to expect (his words now) a tough Budget in a little over a week's time.
Inquiring minds begin to wonder; no,...
Jan 31, 2015 8:00 am
Build lines of communication
Maybe, Mr Editor, it is a waste of time and space going on about the need for greater collaboration and cooperation, as one keen reader of mine has suggested.
Sure, they are fine words, he says, that need to be said from time to time, but nothing is going to change.
On one thing he and I agree: nothing is going to change until the people who have the power to bring about change, make change happen.
He thinks that unlikely.
Jan 30, 2015 8:00 am
A good time to dust off the SAGE report
Hindsight, as they say Mr Editor, is 20/20 vision. It is easy to say that they should have done this or they should not have done that. Nonetheless, there are always lessons to be learned from looking back.
As I watched this week's events unfold, I got to thinking about the SAGE Commission and the Commissioners' recommendations. You remember them, don't you?
Commissioned by the One Bermuda Alliance Government, the fulfillment of...
Jan 26, 2015 8:00 am
Who has failed whom over the DPP decision?
The DPP decision was as confounding as it was disappointing, Mr Editor, on two fronts.
We know this much: the appointment is in the discretion of the Governor. The Bermuda Constitution Order does not require him to consult with anyone or any one body. He is free to appoint as he sees fit. Mind you, he did tell us that HE did do some consulting; his decision was in line with advice received from a "Judiciary and Legal Services...
Jan 23, 2015 8:00 am
A different approach needed
Calls for collaboration and cooperation sound and look an awful lot like wishful thinking, don't you think Mr Editor?
If the banter on the blogs is any indication, we have people on either side who keep scorecards, lengthy lists of the wrongs that each party has committed or of things that have been said, one about the other, that point up why neither side will ever work together — or should not.
Stop it people. We have got to...
Jan 20, 2015 8:00 am
Cannonier return smacks of internal politics
Politics offers up plenty of twists and turns, Mr Editor, some of them predictable and some not so predictable. The unpredictable can be a pain. When asked what could scupper his government's plans former United Kingdom Prime Minister Harold Macmillan famously replied: "Events, dear boy, events".
That we understand. But politicians who twist and turn is an entirely different matter, and while political contortions may be readily...
Jan 19, 2015 8:00 am
Our children deserve absolute commitment
It was a criticism that was bound to be levelled, Mr Editor, and so it was. Bermuda could use an America's Cup approach to public education.
Everyone knows it too, and have known for a long, long time. How long? Long enough.
Our political parties have certainly recognised this — at least when it comes to acknowledging the problem in their campaigns and their promises to fix it.
The need for educational reform has been a...

Cutting political corruption
This letter was prompted in part by my column headlined "Important to tie your camel" about the need for a stronger more active and robust Public Accounts Committee and the need for greater and closer oversight of Government spending.
The following is a list of anti-corruption steps that can be implemented by the Bermuda Government to dramatically reduce political corruption.
Many of these steps have been enacted into law in...

OBA lacking communication skills
This letter was penned by a reader who wishes to remain anonymous and was sent not long after my columns following the Throne Speech, one of which was entitled "Constructive work for idle hands".
The speech underscores the OBA's inability to sustain communication with the community. There's a major "say-do" gap. It's hard to argue with what's been said in the Throne Speech, but harder still to follow what ends up being...
Dec 12, 2014 8:00 am
Legislation of elephantine proportions
Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither apparently was the Casino Gaming Act. This, Mr. Editor, is legislation of elephantine proportions: some 100 plus pages of over 200 clauses that any reasonable person might regard as complex, if not complicated, most especially for those not versed in legalese, and certainly difficult to digest in one sitting whether in the House or out.
You have to wonder though as it highlights once again the...
Dec 12, 2014 8:00 am
A hole in our hearts
There isn't just a hole to fill on page 4, Mr Editor. There is a hole in all our hearts. I am saddened to know that my column will no longer get to bask in the glow of Peter's good humour. He was a great companion to all of us each Friday over the years. His wit and his wisdom and his charm, evident each week in his cartoons, will be sorely missed.
May Peter now rest in peace – with that unmistakable trademark smile on his face, I am...

Write on, inquiring readers
By John Barritt
Readers write, Mr Editor, and they are seldom wrong – as well you know. Much like voters, which most of them probably are. This week I share a few. Comments, that is.
Feedback was strong on recent columns on the need for stronger parliamentary oversight of Government spending whether it be the proposed new airport project, the recently completed acute care wing of the hospital or the Port Royal Golf Course...

Important to tie your camel
By John Barritt
The Arab proverb has it right, Mr Editor: Trust in God but tie your camel. It is good sound advice that makes even more sense (and dollars and cents) when it comes to Government and Government spending. Just look at the track record — and what better place to begin than with reports of the Auditor General. They make the case better than I can.
The Port Royal golf course "special report" (which, as it turns out, is...
Nov 21, 2014 8:00 am
Children please, it's time to grow up
No need for sub-titles, Mr Editor, or interpreters. No need to read between the lines either. I shall try and keep it plain and simple and short. I tell my grandchildren all the time, as I did my children before them, two wrongs don't make a right. I know, I know, you say that you didn't start it and I hear what you say you heard, but that's not the point. I want you to do better than that. Try, please.
Now you and I both know it's an...
Nov 14, 2014 8:00 am
Constructive and critical work for idle hands
Maybe, Mr Editor, there is another way to make the point. Hurricanes do tend to bring out the best in us. We all face a common enemy. We all share a common goal. We cooperate and we collaborate and we all get to participate in cleaning up and turning the Island around. We are pretty good at it too. So the call goes forth, a plea even, for a similar community approach to the economic challenges we now face. Enter Throne Speech 2014.

The hands of Esau are at work
They're back, Mr Editor. The House on the Hill reopens today after a 16-week absence with all the usual pomp and pageantry the colony can muster for the occasion. But, as one faithful reader has already speculated, the dignity and civility on parade today will very likely quickly dissipate as members of the two parties get down to business and go after one another.
Okay, maybe. But not necessarily on the first day back. Tradition has...
Oct 31, 2014 8:00 am
Time to change the approach
We are in a hole. Our Government is in a financial hole. We all know what needs to be done, where we need to get to. The disagreement is over how. But surely, Mr Editor, that comes as no surprise … to anyone.
Yes, we expect our Government to lead. The governing party was elected promising to do just that, ie to turn this economy around and to improve Government finances. But lead does not mean dictate.
People want to be...

It took a hurricane to unite us
"A plague upon this howling!"
With apologies and credit to Will, Tim, I lift a few lines from his play to make a few points about the still-vex'd Bermoothes. Vex'd? Then maybe, Mr. Editor, but not so much now. Thankfully.
"I do now let loose my opinion: hold it no longer: this is no fish but an islander, that hath lately suffered by a thunderbolt." [Trinculo]
Well maybe not a thunderbolt. For all I know, there may have been...

Measure twice, cut once
By John Barritt
Consultation, Mr Editor, I am all for it. Our people deserve the opportunity to be engaged on the issues of the day and the difficult decisions facing their government. I would even go so far as to say that as voters they are entitled. Attempts this week are therefore welcomed. They are steps in the right direction. But they are only steps and whether it is a question of too little too late — or more accurately perhaps,...
Oct 3, 2014 8:00 am
Increasingly irresponsible government
The joke is, Mr Editor, that we obtained responsible government almost 50 years ago with passage of the Bermuda Constitution Order 1968 and that it has grown increasingly irresponsible ever since. You think I jest. I don't.
It depends on how you think government should work. But let's get one thing straight right from the start. I am not going after the UBP or the PLP or the OBA. Rather this is a critique of how our government has...

Why nations fail – and succeed
You thought maybe I might touch on Scotland this week, right? Wrong. Try Botswana. Yes, Botswana, Mr Editor, and if space permits I think I can bring it back to what happened in Scotland. Stay with me now.
I have just finished reading a fascinating book, Why Nations Fail, the product of 15 years of painstaking research, co-authored by Daron Acemoglu and James A Robinson, one a professor in economics at MIT and the other a professor of...

Politics, lies and ice cream
Speaking is relatively easy. The thinking bit is harder. So always be sure the brain is in gear before putting the jaw in motion: I have never forgotten that admonition. The same is true for writing, don't you think, Mr Editor? Well, we try. So when readers write it gets even better; right on, readers, even when, no especially when, you think we've got it wrong. What was it that Alan Greenspan, the famed US economist was reputed to have said...
Sep 12, 2014 8:00 am
Something that is needed
Functional unity is a beautiful thing, I reckon Mr Editor. But like beauty, functionality is in the eye of the beholder, or perhaps when it comes to politics in the eyes of the beholden. Of course, we would all like to see a little more functional unity among all of those who constitute our parliamentary functionaries, known collectively the Legislature, whose chief function, according to the Bermuda Constitution Order, is to make laws for...
Sep 5, 2014 8:00 am
Plain old grit for the mill
Position is the art of gunnery, Mr Editor, or words to that effect. A former comrade in arms, politically speaking of course, not literally please, used to remind us of this at critical junctures in caucus discussions on issues of the day. I think we all understood what he meant. Strategy is important in politics. Timing isn't everything either, but it's important too.
Two very recent events prompted the remembrance and I will come on...

More than lost opportunities
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's an old saw, readily understood by most, which I have always rather liked, Mr Editor, and that's because I also happen to think the reverse is true.
That's why, for those who wonder, I go on from time to time (actually pretty regularly, I will concede) about the need for parliamentary reform and why I believe it was one of the keys to changing the way in which we run our government and conduct our...
Aug 22, 2014 8:00 am
The dialogue of the deaf continues
People are looking for answers, Mr Editor, and when people want answers they start by asking questions. Hmmn, questions. Fair enough.
On the Hill in the House, there is a parliamentary version: Question Period. A fair chunk of time is set aside each morning, our representatives meet to give members an opportunity to question Ministers of the Government. Albeit narrow in scope and limited in purpose, the goal here isn't just to elicit...

Election promises should be costed
This is one for the books, Mr. Editor. Literally. In the Canadian province of New Brunswick the Progressive Conservative Government there brought in legislation that requires the government of the day to provide voters with a fiscal update of public finances 60 days before an election, and further that all political parties contesting the election tabulate and publish a costing of their promises in advance of polling day. Wow. This particular...

Twisted words of political double-speak
T & A, Mr Editor, transparency and accountability, are the key to good governance. Both words are bandied about frequently by those in and out of politics, myself included. The two principles are, we are told, the dynamic duo to democracy, the Batman and Robin if you will, that can set things right; or, on the other hand, the one-two counter punch should you be on the wrong side of what's right.
The challenge sometimes is figuring...
Jul 25, 2014 8:00 am
The elephant and the mouse
Disappointing, Mr Editor, is just one of the words that comes to mind (there are others) — and on so many fronts. First, it took ten weeks to produce the report. Ten whole weeks. It should never have taken that long and the blame here doesn't fall entirely to the party chairman. The people who knew what was what were in the OBA caucus. They only had to tell each other and the party chairman what went on. I think we all thought that would...

Will for reform is needed
Bob Dylan wrote it. Jimi Hendrix aced it. From All Along The Watchtower:
"There must be some kind of way out of here, said the joker to the thief.
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief."
Maybe so, Mr. Editor, maybe so.
First, it should come as no surprise that I believe in a strong and independent Legislature. It is key to good governance. The role the Legislature is required to play is set out carefully...
Jul 11, 2014 8:00 am
Win was a hollow victory
It was a whopper that came up a cropper, you could say Mr Editor. Let me explain myself. The One Bermuda Alliance Government looked to be stuck with an investigation by a Commission that it seemed it neither approved of nor wanted.
Initial reports cast it as a victory for the Opposition PLP (which it was) as it was their motion that succeeded thanks to support from one member of the OBA backbench and the disqualification from voting of...
Jul 4, 2014 8:00 am
Living in 'paradis fiscal'
There's nothing like a road map to see what lies ahead here at home and abroad. But I begin with a disclaimer, Mr Editor: I have no crystal ball. First, our Finance Minister got me to thinking with his frank admission fresh from his promotional reconnaissance in France. We don't see eye to eye, he reported on his return, and nothing he had to say to the French caused them to change their minds. We have some "philosophical" (ahem)...
Jun 27, 2014 8:00 am
Immigration — the third rail of politics
You could call it the third rail of local politics, Mr Editor: immigration generally, status specifically. For those who don't know, the third rail is a metaphor often used to describe an issue so fraught with controversy that any politician, or Government for that matter, that tackles the subject will invariably suffer, politically. It is the exposed electrical conductor that has to be handled with care, preferably by those who know what...

Roll up the sleeves and get on with reform
The absence of information helps fuel speculation. Dots left dangling get connected, whether the dots warrant it or not, and that which might otherwise be viewed as unreasonable comes across as reasonable.
As you well know, Mr Editor, it happens a lot in politics: sometimes innocently, mostly not.
Let me give you a current example. Developer Nathan Landau was reported as having given $300,000 to the One Bermuda Alliance election...
Jun 13, 2014 8:00 am
Time for some accountability
GM got me to thinking, Mr Editor: General Motors, that is, the car manufacturer that was recoiling under intense scrutiny and withering criticism for those faulty ignition switches that claimed 13 lives and caused countless other accidents and injuries. It was what GM did in response that caught my attention.
The company commissioned an independent investigation by a former US Attorney and then — wait for it — made the findings public.
Jun 6, 2014 8:00 am
Noise we can all do without
What's past is prologue. The bard had it right did he not, Mr Editor? It's also so much better than saying, again, and again, and again, that what we so often see is what we get, i.e. the same old, same old. Like you, I try to keep up with debates on the Hill but when I tune in I soon find myself tuning right back out. They might as well all be on rewind: stuck on stuck. Like so many of their political partisans hiding behind pseudonyms...
May 30, 2014 8:00 am
That dog won't hunt no more
Fissiparous was a word that had readers thumbing through their dictionaries last week, Mr Editor. It had them thinking and talking too. Good. So, too, did the challenge of trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. It ain't easy.
This week, same subject, but a different approach to change things up, a bit. This is a favourite line of mine that originates in the southern United States, I believe, first employed on the 'big stage' by LBJ...
May 23, 2014 8:00 am
It's not possible to unring the bell
Here's the thing, Mr Editor: ever tried putting toothpaste back in the tube? Try it some time. It isn't easy. But that is what the OBA Government is facing and they need to be very, very careful here as they try to get back to running the country. The usual spin just won't cut it.
We don't need to be told that there are bigger more important issues at stake here than the sad, sorry debacle now known as the "Jetgate" affair. All of us...

F John Barritt — in his own words
A son remembers his father, Mr Editor, and I do so today with his words, not mine. Rummaging this week through papers he gave me some time ago, I happened to come across a speech which I think he must have given 46 years ago, on the eve of the 1968 election, I believe — his first.
It helps explain, I think, how and why he came to be involved in politics. It is also reflective of the man and his times. The speech was relatively short...

Neither helpful, nor productive
Everyone has a story to tell and most of us quite naturally want our stories to be heard. So for me last week's march was no surprise. Nor were the numbers of those who took part. Whether we like it or not, there are a lot of people out there who are hurting, who are angry and who are disappointed. They are out of work or underemployed and struggling, wondering, if not worrying about what may be coming next. For those who were looking for a...

The kettle and the pot
It's ironic really. One party complains about criticism levelled by the other and invariably replies in kind, whether by style or in substance, or both, touching of further rounds of more of the same. So it goes in politics in Bermuda as the kettle calls out the pot and vice versa. Some of it, I swear, Mr Editor, you couldn't make up even if you tried. But please don't. It isn't that it isn't helpful. It is not. It's just that it only serves...
Apr 25, 2014 8:00 am
Spare us the politics. Just fix it
Spare a thought for the Health Minister. He hasn't been in office four months and grease balls surface on the South Shore. If that isn't bad enough, the US Consulate issues a travel warning about swimming on our beaches. But look, it happens: the unexpected and the unwelcome, that is. Or to steal a line from Forrest Gump, politics can be like a box a chocolates, you never know what you are going to get from one day to the next.
Apr 11, 2014 8:00 am
Can economic growth continue?
A change is as good as a rest, Mr Editor, so this week a break from my usual.
Everyone wants more and few among us desire less. As a general rule I think that's pretty true. The trouble is that it also presents a challenge in today's economic climate and Bermuda is no exception, perhaps even the more so given what we are: an isolated island community of 20 square miles with limited resources.
Economic growth is often advanced as...

The kind of exchange and challenge we should see
The annual Budget Debate is behind us. Time to take stock. How was it for you? The debate, I mean.
Frankly, I wonder how many people bothered to listen in. Even for a period of time.
Mind you, there was plenty of opportunity for those who were interested, spread out as it was over three days a week for just over two weeks for a total of 56 hours.
You might however, have had difficulty following along. It is far easier if you...

STORRS, Conn. (AP) -- While playing flat and sloppy ball, top-ranked Connecticut needed a spark. The Huskies found it in sophomore guard Ann Strother.She had 11 of her 14 points in the first half, hustling for loose balls and rebounds to lead the Huskies to a 69-45 win over Siena on Tuesday."I felt like I needed to get something going and get something started, whether it was to get a basket or a rebound or get a steal, just something to get the energy going," Strother said.Strother finished with three of UConn's 11 steals and had five assists.The victory extended the Huskies' home winning streak to 67 games. The Huskies are now two wins short of matching Tennessee's record for most consecutive victories at home.The Huskies (4-0) tipped off against the Saints just hours after learning that reserve guard Nicole Wolff was lost for the season with a torn ligament in her left knee. Wolff was injured during practice Monday and tests Tuesday confirmed the tear. She missed all but 10 games last season with stress fractures in her left foot."We were thinking about it, but it shouldn't affect the way we play," said Diana Taurasi, who finished with 13 points and five assists. "We weren't defending, we weren't rebounding."The Huskies had five turnovers in the first four minutes and Siena (2-3) made them pay. The Saints scored seven of their first nine points off turnovers and built a 9-2 lead."The first half was just bad basketball. That's all you can say to explain it," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "There was no flow to it."UConn got its first lead at 14-13 on Strother's inside basket with 9:52 remaining. Siena regained the lead on a 4-0 run with jumpers by Michelle Blot and Trish Lyons.Strother hit a backdoor shot with 4:16 left to key a 9-1 run to end the half. The Huskies led 29-23 at the break, then controlled play in the second half.The Huskies had a 27-5 run, wearing down the overmatched Saints by pushing the tempo and forcing 10 turnovers. UConn forward Barbara Turner scored all 12 of her points in the first seven minutes of the second period.UConn also played more sure-handed and committed just four turnovers in the final 20 minutes."UConn came out on fire. They knew they needed to step it up," Siena coach Gina Castelli said. "I thought we just ran out of gas."Jolene Johnston led Siena with 12 points and eight rebounds. Liene Jansone added 10 points.

Two from London school were here on an exchange programme
Two representatives from Burton-On-The-Wolds School, London, under an interactive exchange programme, visited the Army Public School, Kamaraj Road, here to learn the real-time running of an Indian school, and also the Indian ethos, culture and life.
Bhumixa Shah and Jenny Hodgkinson from the London school found that the relationship between teachers and students was far closer than in the U.K. and the methodology used in India, with puppets and personal interaction, served as an inspiration to the visitors. The visitors wished to inculcate in their students the Indian practice of students doing work on their own and the classroom displays featuring their personal work rather than printed handouts.
"We made a very informative presentation of Rajasthan with some videos and skits showcasing tourism of that State. I was thrilled to note that our guests from England enjoyed our presentation," said Kumudvathi Voleti, a Class 6 student.
Fellow student Rohan Verghese added: "We presented them with the delicacies of Maharashtra, such as puran poli in a simple thali , and also showed them the beautiful silk saris of Aurangabad with gold borders. The girls, dressed as sari-sellers, also wore the sari to show off its grace and beauty."
