The UK unemployed get more money than hard working people in most parts of the world.
People should learn to take responsibility for their own finances & not sponge of the productive people in the economy."
You would have a point, if the unemployed could get their money here and spend it in Sudan. They can't, the cost of living in the rest of the world is irrelevant, it is the cost of living here that matters.
As for sponging off the backs of the productive members of the economy. Who exactly are they? The workers in the city, who have taken government handouts which amount to what the poor would receive in how long? A 1000, 10000 years? You know the people who caused the economic crisis, not those on the dole or minimum wage.
Of course if you had a plan for full employment, you might have a point. But you don't, if welfare support disappeared over night, there wouldn't be enough jobs. There would be crime, the unemployed would have little choice. In which case you would demand more jail time, which would cost more than unemployment benefit anyway.
The poor are an easy target, but the reason for the large level of benefit dependence is the collapse of the British economy. It no longer produces enough jobs. Benefits were relatively higher in the 60's and 70's; yet less people were on them. Because there was still mass employment available in industry, industry that no longer exists in this country. It wasn't those now in poverty that shut those factories down, sent them aboard and claimed that we didn't need to make things any more. That was done by the rich, the same people who attack the victims of their own folly.
...Again, why must media perpetuate that old nonsense, that VAT is regressive? Poor people don't pay VAT!
Food, children's clothing, second hand white goods, gas & electricity and rent are all zero rated for VAT. For me, about 90% of what I spend is on zero rated stuff. That would be even more so the case if I were in deeper poverty, or had kids.
It's the rich - those who buy new furniture every few years, splash out on show-off cars, restaurant meals, pedicures, spa treatments, more clothes and shoes than they can wear out - they're the kind of people who will be hit by a VAT hike. And, it is such people who are best positioned to pay it.
The top rate of VAT should be as high as law/ tax enforcement authorities can cope with... it's the fairest means of raising revenue, whist doing the least to deter investment. Bring on 20%.
My friend Jeff111, can you tell a little child of a drug addict mom to take responsibility for his/her own finances? One should know the living costs by the roadside are minimal. Just a pussy needs a roof in British winter.
the topic is too serious to leave it to the thatcherite trolls of daily mail. the ultimate responsibility rests with the politician class of the country. rulers of this country which mindlessly contributed to destruction of manufacturing, too big and dangerous dependence on North Sea fields and the City financials.
The UK unemployed get more money than hard working people in most parts of the world.
People should learn to take responsibility for their own finances & not sponge of the productive people in the economy.
'The coalition government promises that it will not "balance the budget on the backs of the poor".- article
Well, the government may have said that- but attacking the poor is precisely what they have done. And it must have been their intention!The tax and spending changes mean those earning under £14,200 a year will lose 21.7% of household income, 6 times as much as those on over £49,700.
Reducing income tax? Hidden in the budget small print was an increase in the tax on income under the tax credit scheme from 39% to 41%. (Yes, a worker pays 20% income tax, 11% NI and this 41% on every extra £1 earned).
And if earnings fall by £2500 the plan is for the government to keep extra 41% paid.This is called introducing a disregard for falls in income.So,an employee with children whose income falls from £20,000 to £17500 would pay £1025 on income he/she has never even received!
Plus- more rent to be paid out of basic benefits which were never calculated to be sufficient to pay rent. And then a 10% reduction in housing benefit for those unemployed for over a year.
And quite an offensive against the unemployed. Rather than changes in unemployment being related to the business cycle it seems they are now due to a cycle of laziness. In a downturn people become lazy,in a boom less lazy, then they start getting lazy again!
Of the 2.5 million unemployed almost a million do not get benefits at all. Yet they are still unemployed. And many unemployed for over a year.
It's a shame more of a move to implement the Mirrlees report recommendations hasn't been made so we have more of an expenditure tax based system, lower job taxes and benefits disincentives to work and savings, less incentives to excessive leverage/borrowing...
Though sure cuts need to be made, and the system streamlined, it need to be well planned and well thought out, in some areas there is just not the work, or at least it doesn't cover what it needs to pay wise in places, and those places can be difficult to leave due to expenses (and I don't mean London! Try going to places in rural SW and take a look at the living costs and damn wages.)
National Service anyone? Could work and would be a way of retaining people and getting them in to a work regime. That or making sure that Employers can't take the piss with wages.

Soulfly / Cavalera Conspiracy / ex-Sepultura legend Max Cavalera has the ultimate metal family.
Radio is a lot like real life. Moods change. People come and go. And a lot of stuff gets shoved into the back corner of the attic somewhere.
Over the 20 years 99X has been on the air in the Shreveport area, literally thousands of songs have graced our airwaves
It may be a stretch to call Killer Be Killed a "Supergroup", but to fans of, shall we say - the heavier forms of rock, this band has a serious pedigree.
Comprised of Max Cavalera (Soulfly, ex-Sepultura), Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan), Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and Dave Elitch (ex-The Mars Volta), Killer Be Killed are ready to drop their self-titled debut on May 13
Last week, it was revealed that former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo would guest on Sepultura's upcoming album. Now, the latest installment of Sepultura's studio diary features a brief video of Lombardo jamming with Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande (watch above).
Sepultura are hard at work on their new album and guitarist Andreas Kisser revealed through his blog studio diary that former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo will be a guest on their forthcoming record.

It's a good hub they said, no need to worry they said. BULLSH!T!!
For the last few rides I have been experiencing what I thought was the chain "skipping" when climbing, but when it kept happening with a new chain and cassette, I figured something else was up.
Less than 100 miles and I made this POS 9:ZERO:7 (cho sen) 197TA rear hub my b!tch. The bearings in the freehub are already pretty rough, and am I flexing the rear end enough to cause the fh body to contact the teeth of the drive ring and cause damage.
Using the ol' Google machine turns up similar results with Stans and Sun Ringle hubs, which are the same as 9:ZERO:7.
I am the lightest I have ever been since I started biking (235lbs), but the strongest I have ever been.
Please try convince me that clydes don't put down the power.
Not my pic, but my hub looks exactly the same with very similar damage. Pic taken from Stans ZTR thread.

Schools and Libraries Program:
Update on E-Rate Funding
GAO-01-672: Published: May 11, 2001. Publicly Released: May 11, 2001.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6520
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 expanded the traditional definition of universal service--affordable, nationwide telephone service--to include eligible schools and libraries. The act authorized the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to begin a program to help these institutions acquire advanced telecommunications services. Under FCC's program, often referred to as the 'e-rate' program, schools and libraries can receive discounts from the vendors on the cost of eligible telecommunications services, Internet access, and internal connections. FCC appointed the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) as the program's permanent administrator, although FCC retains responsibility for overseeing the program's operations and ensuring compliance with its rules. USAC's Schools and Libraries Division (SLD) is responsible for carrying out the program's day-to-day operations. Schools and libraries do not receive funding directly from the program. The committed funds are held by USAC, which reimburses vendors directly for the discounted portion of the e-rate approved services that they provide. This report provides information on (1) the amount of funds requested and committed for all three program years (1998-2000) and (2) the result of FCC and SLD's steps to reduce the amount of committed funds that go unspent. GAO found that requests for e-rate support have risen steadily each year since program funding began in 1998. For the third and fourth program years, total requests greatly exceeded the program's current annual funding cap of $2.25 billion. For the third program year (2000), the requests exceeded $4.2 billion. Although SLD had sufficient e-rate funds to support all valid requests for telecommunications services and Internet access for the third year, it could not support requests for internal connections from applicants with discount levels of 81 percent or lower, leaving nearly $2 billion of the $3.2 billion requested for internal connections unfunded. For the fourth program year (2001), SLD estimates that applicants requested nearly $5.2 billion in program funds as of April 2001. However, it appears that a large proportion of the nearly $3.5 billion in internal connection requests may go unfunded. Data from January 2001 indicate that more than $880 million (24 percent) of the $3.7 billion committed to applicants for the first two program years remains unused. This is a decrease from $1.3 billion in unused funds (35 percent) at the end of August 2000. GAO also found that FCC and SLD have taken steps to reduce the amount of committed funds that go unspent, including canceling the funding commitments of second-year applicants that have not confirmed that they have begun receiving services associated with these funds.

Good God I'm full of questions. I noticed you have some grown in pots. So how do you know which variety can be put in a pot and which ones cannot? Most of my plants, except the dwarf ones, are very bushy (2 - 3 feet wide). I don't know how I would've fit them in a pot.
Beautiful, the photography is excellent. I am glad you are sharing your wonderful dahlias with us. I only have two plants and they are dinnerplates, but I'm certainly looking forward to planting more next spring. I will use pots now that I know they will survive.
DB - what soil mix are you using?
I've always grown them in pots as the deer would demolish them if I took them off the deck. Just need to make sure the soil drains well/but holds enough moisture. My first 2 years I bought professional Pro-Mix but decided that is too peaty - it needs something to help it drain. This year I mixed 1/3 Pro-Mix, 1/3rd 2 yr old composted wood chips, 1/3 Sweet Peet(compost made of cow manure and chip bedding) and a little perlite in, along with some styrofoam popcorn from packing. I use 65 gallon containers,
planted 3 to a pot and put them on rolling trays. So they are almost in a soil-less mix. I took a chance and did them all in this but they are doing great.
I'm planted with a double layer of Bulbtone and then I'm using Messenger and Mighty Plant starting now as they are just budding. I didn't get mine in till the 2nd week of June.
All I can say is WOW!
Besides the beauty of your workings (which I'm sure for you and your DW is not work but endless pleasure), the clarity of your pics are outstanding. Do you use a digital or convential 35mm and what is the make and model?

Perceptual and linguistic interactions in speeded classification: tests of the semantic coding hypothesis
Gail Martino, Lawrence E Marks
Received 30 October 1998, in final form 16 March 1999
Abstract. We tested the semantic coding hypothesis, which states that cross-modal interactions observed in speeded classification tasks arise after perceptual information is recoded into an abstract format common to perceptual and linguistic systems. Using a speeded classification task, we first confirmed the presence of congruence interactions between auditory pitch and visual light-;ness and observed Garner-type interference with nonlinguistic (perceptual) stimuli (low-frequency and high-frequency tones, black and white squares). Subsequently, we found that modifying the visual stimuli by (a) making them lexical (related words) or (b) reducing their compactness or figural 'goodness' altered congruence effects and Garner interference. The results are consistent with the semantic coding hypothesis, but only in part, and suggest the need for additional assumptions regarding the role of perceptual organization in cross-modal dimensional interactions.

The prosecutor delivering opening arguments Monday in the murder trial of David Escovedo painted a grisly picture for jurors of Maxine Patsy Trujillo's final moments and of her partially decomposed head being discovered on Feb. 14, 2011, six weeks after authorities believe she was killed.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Thomas Clayton told jurors they'd hear testimony that Trujillo, 46, died from massive head trauma, a blow that was so severe that it cracked her skull.

Day 12 on the rails again
... only have a 22min connection time so if all goes well after we catch the connection I will relax this will prove to be my stress day of the entire trip. We'll train moves off all goes well but as we get to the 1st station they change the engine so we are delayed we now only have 20 min change over, and so the journey continues and with each station something causes longer delays till finally we are resolved there is no way we are going to get ...
"I love your Ice Cream"
... back to our hostel in the rain to get ready. The Halls so far have been really easy to get to. I guess we had gotten used to Central America where the English meetings were few and far between. We could almost never make them because they would be so far outside of the city centers. Here it was a twenty minute tram ride with no changes and we were at the door. When we walked in the attendant brother quickly explained that for some reason the English congregation ...

There are a number of instruments, clothing, equipment, documents and photographs detailing their story. From here we move into several different compartments of the bunkers, but only several as not all are open to the public. We view where the bathrooms were, the intelligence rooms, where people would've spent their days and equipment rooms.
Nuremberg and Prague
Hello! We have made it to beautiful Prague and have been blessed with clear blue skies after a week of clouds and drizzle. Before coming to Prague we spent a day in Nuremberg. Very interesting place but is quite a dark city especially their dark Nazi history and the over-the-top architecture that Hitler insisted of the buildings. He also built ...
Pretty Prague
... These religious sights highlight the Jewish customs and traditions, here we spent our time recapping the history of the War and the terror that occurred to the Jews. The old city also is home to Kinsky Palace which was once a palace and now a museum and in front of it the Statue of Jan Hus- symbolises Bohemia rebirth. We ended the tour in New city specifically in Wenceslas Square over looking the famous Charles Bridge.

Originally formed in 1992 from the ashes of two of the most legendary and lauded guitar bands of the time, The La's and Shack, Cast released four albums (three of them top 10), and had ten top 10 singles. The second album also went platinum. During that time, Noel Gallagher described watching the band as "a religious experience", and at release 'All Change' was the highest biggest selling album of all time for Polydor. After the band's split, Power released three solo albums, and has played intermittently since 2005 with the reformed La's. A decade later, and the original line-up of John Power (guitar/ vocals), Liam 'Skin' Tyson (lead guitar), Pete Wilkinson (bass) and Keith O'Neill (drums) have reunited with original producer John Leckie (Stone Roses, Radiohead, The Fall) for 'Troubled Times'. The reinvigorated band have produced an album full of the anthemic, melodic and beautifully written songs for which they have always been loved by their fervent fanbase.

As handy as online Japanese-to-English dictionaries are for looking up individual vocabulary words, automated translation programs tend to spit out much spottier results. A big part of the problem is how much more Japanese relies on context for meaning, which in turn means speakers can, and often do, abbreviate and omit whole words and phrases which human listeners can easily understand implicitly.
Automated programs, though, lack this ability, which means their translations are often missing vital elements needed for the sentence to make sense in English. It's a problem software engineers and linguists are trying to address, but adding such soft logic to machines is a difficult endeavor.
In at least one case, though, the Google Translate team seems to have been too effective, as trying to convert a Japanese phrase meaning, "Goodbye, my beloved" into English produces a result that seems to have roughly 38 hours of backstory behind it.

mosiac question
I just started a new BB last night using stained glass and tile. The two are quite different in thickness. I'm at a point where I could probably cut the pieces off if I need to. I'm just wondering if anyone has mosiaced (sp?) with different thickness items and how it turned out? They will be close to each other.
You could add extra bonding material under the thinner pieces to raise them up to the same height as the thicker pieces. Otherwise the finished project will be difficult to grout and will have a patchy appeareance. Grout will want to flow over the thinner material and will be a bear to remove.
I use different thickness all of the time, sometimes I do it to create a "look" I'm going for, I haven't done a bowling ball for a while now...have decided to switch to making my own cement balls(out of light globes filled with concrete then after curing,smash the glass off)as they will hold up in the freezing weather better, but have a few to mosaic, just been busy with other stuff so they are at the back of the Project List(
ohhh, calamity, I like that idea - there are lots of cool light globes out there......

The Best Of Cloud-To-Butt, The Only Extension You'll Ever Truly Need
Back in August we happened upon what quickly became our favourite browser extension: Cloud to Butt Plus. And now that we've had a good six months to live in a world where every instance of "cloud" on the internet is replaced with the word "butt", we've amassed quite a collection of clippings. It is glorious to behold.
Watch Different Layers Of Clouds Move In Completely Different Directions
Video: This is cool. A timelapse, aptly named Highway in the Sky by the guy who filmed it, shows how different layers of clouds in the same sky can actually move in completely different directions. It's like seeing clouds respect different flows of traffic. It's like seeing multiple skies in one. It's like staring at a computer program in the sky.
Rare Video Of An Airbus A380 Cutting Through Clouds
Video: Sometimes, you get a unique combination of circumstances that produces a rare look into a common event, like this Emirates' Airbus A380 arriving to Amsterdam's Schiphol airport at the perfect time and the perfect angle to produce a few seconds of beautiful cinematography, cutting a cloud in two.
Watch This Terrifying Rolling Cloud Overtake A City In This Timelapse
A Chrome Extension That Replaces 'Cloud' With 'Butts' Wins Everything
Earlier today, we asked you to tell us about all your favourite Chrome extensions. And while the ultimate winners will be revealed at a later date, Gizmodo reader pacguy has introduced us to one sparkling diamond of an extension that, frankly, would be an injustice to keep hidden. Friends, you need to install Cloud to Butt Plus immediately.
Amazing Cloud Waves Herald The Alien Invasion Apocalypse
Looking at these time-lapse videos of Undulatus asperatus — a cloud formation proposed as separate cloud classification in 2009 — look like the ocean's surface in a stormy day as seen from under the water. They also look like those scenes in sci-fi movies, when something really bad is coming to kill us all from the sky.
Watch A Massive Thunderstorm Form In This Timelapse
Man, this looks like some end of the world type weather. It's the type of thunderstorm I'd see in a movie and think the CGI was too fake. It's the type of supercell I'd see in real life and think it's all over for everybody. It remind us how small we are, how incredible (and scary!) nature can be and how damn cool it is to look up in the sky every now and again.

This is a plastic bag with the 1990s Kmart logo that I got in August 2011 at the Kmart in Wise, VA.
Look In The Tunk, professionalwannabe, and 3 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Kmart is so outdated that they even give customers outdated bags?
Actually, they just ran out of the current logo bags (at least the small size), so they had these on hand until they got some a short time later. In any case, it wasn't every day that one would see these bags now, so I kept this one.
Kind of a Kmart trademark. Any time I want to find something I know has been discontinued, I always head straight to Kmart to see if they still have it.
I went into a Kmart for the first time in ages last weekend(Saturday to be exact, I did it for fun), and I saw a few clearance DVDs that still had the, get this, the 'Today's Kmart' on this with that logo! Geesh, that goes to show how many years those DVDs probably haven't been sold off at all....
Kmart sold DVDs back when they were a niche item? Nice!
I bought The Rugrats' and (I want to say) The Wild Thornberry's Movies on VHS at my local Kmart about 3 years ago. I'm guessing someone found an old box in the back.

For users of a Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring ("CGM") device
Just as a reminder with the recent release of the new Dexcom G4 to the US market--it is NOT okay to post about previous models or older sensors as being 'for sale' on this site.
It is a violation of the Terms of Use because it is a prescription device, and any such efforts will unfortunately be removed.
We encourage you to donate supplies to non-profits such as the Charles Ray III Diabetes Association (http://www.cr3diabetes.org), which accepts unexpired glucometer and insulin pump supplies, or alternatively you may talk to your physician's office or other local medical group to discuss donating them to those in need of assistance.
Thank you all for kindly refraining from this activity.

LOL. When I went through i raised my shirt to show them the Dexie and the Omnipod. The did some kind of 'residue' test to make sure they weren't bombs strapped to me. Then I just went on. No problems.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences! Now I am sure they will not force me into throwing my transmitter in the bin, as they do with pens and scissors...I know it is not a dangerous item but the fact that it cannot be turned off gave me some worries...
As for flying, I have taken the attitude with TSA of teaching. If I get anything less than a TSA officer responding like they see hundreds of diabetics a day, I go into teach mode. Most appreciate it. I use a Ping and a Dexcom 7+. I do nothing different than if I were entering a secure building. I declare, explain, cooperate, and teach the office so if you see me or another pumper/CGM wearer, you will know what you are seeing and testing. Letters from physicians are worthless based on comments I have had directed to me from TSA, Federal Protective Service, and US Marshall's staff.
Michale's comment, about syringes, reminds me....soem years ago, before it was common to travel to China, I had to clear in at a relatively small coastal town, while on a business trip. When the local customs officials saw abotu 100 syringes, in my luggage, they got really excited; probably anticipating the promotions they'd receive for apprehending this "western drug smuggler". Their dismay was palpable when I produced an authoritive letter, in Chinese, explaining my need for all this medical stuff. At that time, disposeables were a black market item!
I get more hassle (if any) for my syringes!
Dexcom sent me a letter to show to TSA about a year ago. It confirms that the device is safe for flight.
I fly constantly and have never had to use the letter.
no you do not have to turnt he receiver off in-flight. There are exceptions for medical devices.
Massimo - one hint that I've used many times. If I know I'll be flying a little ahead of time, I make sure to use my abdomen as my sensor site. That way if TSA wants to see it, I can just lift my shirt and reassure them it's nothing dangerous. Otherwise if it's in your leg or a hard to reach spot on your arm, you have to go into a room and get partially undress just to show them the sensor.

A new has provided a deeper insight into air pollution and climate change that are involved in the increasing prevalence of allergies worldwide.
The so-called household "green" products, including air fresheners, cleaning products, laundry supplies and personal care products, contain lot of health hazards, finds a new study.
The US Environmental Protection Agency announced plans Wednesday to strengthen emission regulations for ozone, a smog-causing pollutant blamed for respiratory ailments affecting millions of Americans.
NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has provided scientists its first look at Martian upper atmosphere, it has been reported.
NASA has said that astronomers searching the atmospheres of alien worlds for gases that might be produced by life can't rely on the detection of just one type, such as oxygen, ozone, or methane, because in some cases these gases can be produced non-biologically.
The ozone layer that shields life from cancer-causing solar rays is showing its first sign of recovery after years of dangerous depletion, a UN study said on Wednesday, in a rare piece of good news on the environment.
The depleting ozone layer is well on track to recovery in the next few decades because of "concerted international action", according to an assessment report by UN Enviornment Programme and World Meterological Organisation.
A new study has found four new man-made gases in the atmosphere which are destroying the ozone layer.
A new study has suggested that ban on ozone depleting chemicals may have impacted the global temperature rise.
A lethal gamma-ray burst from a star about 8000 light years away could hit earth and possibly wipe out a quarter of our atmospheric ozone, astronomers have revealed.
Scientists showed that the reaction of iodide with ozone leads to the formation of both molecular iodine and hypoiodous acid.
Ozone, even at low levels, can affect worker performance significantly, says the first ever research on the direct impact of pollution on individual productivity.
The increased risk of ozone damage to vegetation is mainly due to rising ozone concentrations and higher temperatures in the future.
Over 1,100 cylinders
containing 15,500 kg of a very strong ozone depleting gas
which were brought into the country on the sly have been
seized by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence.
Kudzu, an invasive vine that is spreading across the southeastern United States and northward, is a major factor in the large-scale rise of the pollutant surface ozone, says a study.
India on Wednesday attributed the
success of the Montreal Protocol on Ozone depleting substance
to the principle of "common but differentiated responsibility
and respective challenges" being agreed by the developed
Laughing gas or Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is the most abundant ozone-depleting substance in the 21st century as the emissions of CFC, another green house gas, has come down, a new study suggests.

"Tried three times to like this book"
because I am a big Weber fan. I haven't made more than an hour dent in it. There are so many characters and connections that I'm going to have to try to read this and make notes. The reader is flat and everything runs together.
"Scott Brick is not right for this book."
All the style of William Shatner's acting. I just can't get into it, so distracting..
"Only because I can't give it a zero."
"Horrid...drivel" Just wish I'd read that review. Slanted, out of date and selective in it's "facts".

National Moth Week 2012
KC Clark - Zone 2012-6a OHJuly 12, 2012
The FIRST National Moth Week -> July 23-29
Hope you're all getting ready for it.
I linked the website below. On Facebook, search for "moth week"

KC Clark - Zone 2012-6a OH
I'm surprised no one had posted it before. From looking at the Ohio events, other moth'ers knew about it in March. I found out because I needed more sleeve material and saw a blurb about the week on BioQuip's website. BTW, they have a nice luna shirt for sale. Does not come in my size. :(
Having knowledge of moths and general biodiversity will increase interest of nature lovers. Good to find.Thank you very much KC.

Open forum: What's wrong with this picture?
In Philadelphia an 11-year-old child cannot take an Aspirin in school without a letter from his/her parent and supervision by the school nurse.
The same 11-year-old child can, however, receive free condoms shipped to his/her home from the city health department at taxpayer expense.
Another example of the moral decay in our country today.
