A load of the shows I watch are winding down now. Scrubs has finished, Prison Break is finished, Lost has one season left, so does 24, etc... and I think I might need a new show. A list of a few shows I like, to help get an idea: Lost, Prison Break, Dexter, Scrubs, 24, Arrested Development, Inbetweeners, Futurama/South Park/Simpsons/Family Guy. What do you lot recommend I start watching?
My favorite drama series is House where Hugh Laurie is excellent, he gives a Golden Globe worthy performance in every episode and the character he plays is probably the most intriguing one I've ever seen. I don't understand why people in the UK don't like House. As far as comedies go, The Office US is the best comedy series right now. Also, 30 Rock and How I Met Your Mother are two quite enjoyable series.
The Wire, House, Curb Your Enthusiam and US version of the Office seem to stand-outs for me from what I've heard and seen briefly on TV. Which is the best of those? Or does it depend what type of show I'm looking for? Is House a comedy? What's The Wire about?
The Wire - Outstanding television Carnivale - A bit like Lost but with a more religious and surrealistic theme. Psych - A very funny show
Yeah I think I'll start watching the Soprano's. Never seen it but got the feeling I'll love it, into all the mob/mafia/gangster films anyway.
The Sopranos - Some of the best TV ever made, incredible The Wire - Same as above Generation Kill - Excellent mini-series Curb - The best comedy series on TV, Larry David's alter ego is a hero The Unit - Hardly breaks the mould, cheesy a times but not bad if you just wanna watch some action
The Wire is possibly my favourite TV Drama ever, which is quite a feat considering that I started watching it just after The Sopranos had finished. For comedies Curb is your best bet.
I watch practically the same shows as you've listed. I recommend House or Entourage, both brilliant entertainment.
Remember to give it time though. I was hooked immediately from the first episode but a few people I know said they took a while to get into it.
The West Wing. Brilliant show, underrated by many. And The Sopranos, I only have the last season of it left to watch.
I'm going to finish Season 5 of House this week, then start to catch up with Lost. Got a lot of shows I want to catch up with.
Entourage, How I Met Your Mother and House are good shouts. So is Death Note if you fancy trying out some japanese anime.
I've no idea where you cnuts get the time for all this. I've had series 2 of Rome on DVD since christmas, and I still haven't managed to take it out of its packaging yet
Having seen all episodes of The West Wing, it is a good program but if you are not very interested in the American political system, I'd skip it especially as there are over 140 episodes to get through. The Sopranos is probably the best written TV show ever. I could watch the the Pine Barrens episode and the Christoper intervention scene again and again! Thought the last season was a real let down, though. Overall, The Wire is the most rewarding programme to watch. It's like the writers had decided on the story for all the seasons decided from the get go. Every single character has a story arc which fits in perfectly with everyone elses.
I've started watching 'Southland' - which is a cop show based in LA (yes another one..). It's got Ryan from the OC in it as some Rookie Cop - I'm 4 episodes in but I like it. Good story, good directing and decent acting. Plus its pretty brutal which is what you want from cop dramas IMO. Anyone else heard of this?
Lie to me on sky one looks like it could be decent, I watched the first episode last week and it has the potential to be a regular watch for me! Another one i've seen advertised that looks like it could be good is 'The Take' that's to be shown on sky 1 through June. just two suggestions i've not seen in this thread already!
If you like Sci Fi then the Battlestar Galactica's that have just finished and Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles are/were both great. Fringe has been a slow burn but if you ever liked the Xfiles then this is in a similar vein and we have come to enjoy it. I have caught a few episode of Damages with Glen Close and although it was hard to figure out because it was mid-series, the structure, direction and characterisation were very classy.

ALIEN ANT FARM sign with EMG, original band line up set to release new album in 2012
by admin on Oct.04, 2011, under news
ALIEN ANT FARM is proud to announce their new deal with the Executive Music Group label via Fontana/Universal. The original line-up–Dryden Mitchell (lead vocals), Mike Cosgrove (drums), Terry Corso (guitar), Tye Zamora (bass)–will start to work on their fourth album in November and is looking to release it Spring 2012. It'll be their first release since 2006′s UP IN THE ATTIC, which spawned the hit single "Forgive And Forget," and the first with the original line-up since 2003.
"We are pretty excited for the year to come," declares guitarist Terry Corso. "We just came off of a three-month tour in the U.S. that made us realize that with the original line-up back together, we have fire and hunger again. That being said, we can hardly wait to hit the studio and start putting a new record together. We've been writing on and off for the past year and have a really good pile of new material. Basically the goal is to write another pile. With a fresh new collection, we hope to get our core fans excited, as well as turn some brand new listeners on to the ALIEN ANT FARM sound and show the world we have a lot more to offer than the average rock band."
"The timing of ALIEN ANT FARM signing to Executive Music Group is priceless," said EMG President Jacob Capricciuolo. "During a time where EMG is exploding and our philosophy is to 'hustle,' I feel together success is imminent. I couldn't be more proud of their work ethic and their willingness to do whatever it takes to be successful." As EMG Vice President Jimmy Swan continues: "For 10 years, I have used ALIEN ANT FARM's 'Smooth Criminal' to show all my bands the perfect example of how to cover a song. Being a huge fan of the band, it is an honor to be able to work with them. Having the original members back in the line up will give the fans what they have been waiting for."
This week they're traveling to the U.K. to participate in the "Michael Forever Tribute" on October 8 along with Black Eyed Peas, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aquilera, Ne-Yo, Smokey Robinson and others. The band will be performing two Michael Jackson songs, including their smash hit #1 single, a remake of "Smooth Criminal."
"Being a part of the Michael Jackson tribute is an incredible honor for ALIEN ANT FARM," proclaims singer Dryden Mitchell. "I love the idea that we will be the only rock band there. Michael just won't stop providing HUGE platforms for us to get noticed! My first concert was Michael Jackson on his Victory Tour at Dodger Stadium when I was 10 years old. Fast forward to all that he has done for my life. Simply amazing when I take a step back and try to take it all in. I LOVE THE MAN! Incredible to say the least."
ALIEN ANT FARM recently wrapped up their 60-date U.S. "ANTicipation Tour," which had the band performing in front of capacity crowds at every stop. It was their first headlining tour—on their own new bus–since the fatal 2002 bus crash that killed the band's driver and left singer Dryden Mitchell with a broken vertebrae. Lots more touring is already on tap for 2012. As Dryden proclaims, "In 2012, if them pesky Mayans are wrong…a bus load of touring to support a brand new stellar record. Naked hugs for all who come out."

Created in 2007 by Carnegie Hall's Executive and Artistic Director Clive Gillinson and The Juilliard School's President Joseph W. Polisi, Ensemble ACJW is an inspirational collective of young professional musicians who are fellows in a two-year program that supports them in building careers as top-quality performers, innovative programmers, and dedicated teachers who fully engage with the communities in which they live and work.
Ensemble ACJW includes music performance at the highest level, partnerships with New York City public schools, residencies at Skidmore College, opportunities to perform in a variety of community settings, and a robust commitment to professional development.
"The new face of classical music for New York ... these performers have the musical goods," said The New York Times.
More > < Less
Ensemble ACJW's in-school residencies represent one of the largest in-depth collaborations between a cultural institution and the New York City Department of Education.
Fellows serve as musical resources to schools in all five boroughs of New York City and bring mastery of their instruments as well as a professional performer's perspective to music classrooms.
Throughout the season, they participate in community-based performances at multiple non-traditional venues across New York City through Musical Connections, a program of Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute. Fellows also perform each year as part of WMI's exceptional Neighborhood Concert series.
Every two years, up to 20 of the world's finest young professional musicians are chosen by application and audition as Ensemble ACJW fellows.

Shameless plug for my own solution to this: https://github.com/coder543/procmon
Procmon is a tool to respond to changes in the process landscape. You can have a rule set so that when such and such game is started, kill unity. When it exits, start unity. Stuff like that... pretty simple, and compiling it is a breeze because it really is only one C file and one H file, and it acts as an interpreter similar to how bash acts as an interpreter.

Two women who worked as volunteers for the Walker County Animal Shelter have each been charged with 23 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty. Jerilyn Curtis, 19, and Angel Kitchens, 18, both of Walker County, were arrested Friday. Curtis, a longtime volunteer at the shelter, had been living with her uncle, Jeremy Curtis, who reported the incident to police after he found dead dogs on property adjacent to his on Highway 195.
Winston County Sheriff's office then took about 23 live animals from Curtis' property. Although seven of the rescued animals had to be euthanized due to illness and disease.
The uncle said on Wednesday that almost immediately after Curtis moved into his home, he began to notice his niece bringing home more and more animals from the shelter. The shelter permitted her to take dogs off the property with the assumption that they pets were being adopted or "fostered out." "At one point there were about 30 dogs here, and that's not including the three cats and rabbit running around in the house." It is unclear at this time the extent of Kitchens' role in the incident, but both women could be fined up to $3,000 and sentenced to six months in prison if found guilty.
According to her Facebook profile, Jerilyn Curtis graduated from Jasper's Curry High School in 2012 and was taking classes at a small college.

I created this command to give me a quick overview of how many file types a directory, and all its subdirectories, contains. It works based off file extension, rather than file(1)'s magic output, because it ended up being more accurate and less confusing.
Files that don't have an ext (README) are generally not important for me to want to count, but you're free to customize this fit your needs.
This searches the Apache error_log for each of the 5 most significant Apache error levels, if any are found the date is then cut from the output in order to sort then print the most common occurrence of each error.
This command will return a full list of Error 404 pages in the given access log. The following variables have been given to awk
Hostname ($2), ERROR Code ($9), Missing Item ($7), Referrer ($11)
You can then send this into a file (>> /path/to/file), which you can open with OpenOffice as a CSV
Finds the top ten pages returning an http response code of 404 in an apache log.
Most of the "most used commands" approaches does not consider pipes and other complexities.
This approach considers pipes, process substitution by backticks or $() and multiple commands separated by ;
Perl regular expression breaks up each line using | or < ( or ; or ` or $( and picks the first word (excluding "do" in case of for loops)
note: if you are using lots of perl one-liners, the perl commands will be counted as well in this approach, since semicolon is used as a separator
Get a list of all the unique hostnames from the apache configuration files. Handy to see what sites are running on a server.
Finds all (not just adjacent) repeated lines in a file.
Useful for C projects where header file names must be unique (e.g. when using autoconf/automake), or when diagnosing if the wrong header file is being used (due to dupe file names)
Improvement of the command "Find Duplicate Files (based on size first, then MD5 hash)" when searching for duplicate files in a directory containing a subversion working copy. This way the (multiple dupicates) in the meta-information directories are ignored.
Can easily be adopted for other VCS as well. For CVS i.e. change ".svn" into ".csv":
find -type d -name ".csv" -prune -o -not -empty -type f -printf "%s\n" | sort -rn | uniq -d | xargs -I{} -n1 find -type d -name ".csv" -prune -o -type f -size {}c -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | sort | uniq -w32 --all-repeated=separate

Streaking Mariners tab Harang to oppose Tribe
Indians ask Jimenez to stop homer-happy Seattle at Safeco Field
A day after Justin Masterson carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, the Indians head west for an offensive showdown against one of baseball's hottest clubs. The Seattle Mariners are averaging 6.4 runs a game in July, while Cleveland is second in the Majors with 247 runs scored on the road.
Veteran right-hander Aaron Harang takes the hill for the Mariners on Monday.
Harang will be pitching on 11 days' rest due to the All-Star break. In his last start, July 10 against the Red Sox at Safeco Field, he gave up seven runs on eight hits in five innings.
Manager Eric Wedge said the break should benefit the 35-year-old Harang, who has gone 4-8 with a 5.38 ERA in 15 starts since being acquired in an early-season trade.
"I think it's a good thing to have that extra rest," Wedge said. "He knows how to handle that and get the most out of it. The All-Star break is a healthy thing for everybody. I think it's going to pay off for all our guys."
Harang is 4-2 with a 2.95 ERA in 10 career starts against the Indians, but he hasn't faced them since 2010.
He'll square off against Ubaldo Jimenez. The 29-year-old is 7-4 with a 4.56 ERA.
The Indians have gone 7-2 in Jimenez's previous nine starts, although he allowed four runs and eight hits in just four-plus innings in his last outing against the Royals.
"In the two innings that they scored a couple runs, for some reason they got the leadoff guy on base, and that got me a little bit out of rhythm. "It was a little bit uncomfortable to throw strikes from the stretch," Jimenez said.
Mariners: Zunino takes much-needed break
Rookie catcher Mike Zunino got the day off on Sunday, but he is expected to be back in the lineup on Monday. He has impressed Wedge in his first 26 games in the Majors.
"It's just everything. It's the mental. It's the physical. He's done a great job," Wedge said. "I love the fact he's in on every pitch. He doesn't take a pitch off. As a catcher, that's how you have to be, if you're going to be a championship-caliber player, and that's what he's shown us so far. Because we have put a lot on him so quickly, I've got to give him periodic days off."
Zunino has contributed with his bat in addition to his solid work behind the plate. While the catcher is batting just .213 in July, he has a .321 on-base percentage thanks to his ability to work counts and draw walks.
• The Mariners have won a season-high six straight games, sweeping the Angels and the Astros.
• The Mariners are tied with Toronto for second in the Majors with 120 home runs. Baltimore leads with 134.
Indians: Kipnis flaunts opposite-field skill
Harang will have to contend with Cleveland's Jason Kipnis, whose tendency to launch opposite-field blasts made him an All-Star. Kipnis, who has homered to left in consecutive games, has rebounded from early-season struggles to become a reliable piece of the Indians' lineup.
"He just has that stroke where when he hits the ball with authority the other way he gets rewarded for it," manager Terry Francona said. "It's created a ton of confidence. It should. Right now, he's keeping everything fair, and he's hitting it with authority. That's a good recipe for success."
• The Indians haven't allowed a home run in 85 consecutive innings, the longest stretch since the Tribe went 96 innings without giving up a homer in 1992. That streak will be tested against the Mariners, who have homered in 24 of their last 25 games.
Worth noting:
• Seattle's Michael Saunders hit a double in the eighth inning of Saturday's game to extend his hitting streak to 10 games.
• Over the last 66 1/3 innings, Cleveland starters have allowed just 14 earned runs.

text: 189 min | R Martin Scorsese reteams with Leonardo DiCaprio in this Oscar nominated, wildly irreverent epic of Wall Street decadence in the 1990s. Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire) adapts Jordan Belfort's memoir of his notoriously indulgent ride from wealthy stock broker to headline–making arrest involving organized crime, corruption, and the government. Critically acclaimed as Scorsese's most dynamic film since GOODFELLAS, THE WOLF OF WALL STREET also stars Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, and Jon Favreau.


text: 112 min | PG EPIC reveals a hidden world unlike any other. From the creators of ICE AGE and RIO, this action-adventure tells the story of an ongoing battle deep in the forest between the forces of good who keep the natural world alive and the forces of evil who wish to destroy it. When a teenage girl finds herself magically transported into this secret universe, she must band together with a rag-tag team of fun and whimsical characters in order to save their world and ours.

Look! It's a bird! It's a plane!
No, it's a drone trying to smuggle drugs and cellphones into a South Carolina prison.
One man was arrested and police are still searching for a second suspect after the drone crashed in the bushes outside Lee Correctional Institute in Bishopville on April 21, according to ABC News.
It was carrying marijuana, tobacco and phones.
Investigators believe the drone was either crashed on purpose by the person piloting it or that it malfunctioned as it approached the maximum security prison.
Last year, four people were accused of trying to fly a drone carrying tobacco and cellphones into a prison in Georgia.

Our wedding philosophy
But seriously, I have a reason to be talking about weddings right now: Definitely RA wrote, at my request, two posts about weddings: one about her wedding philosophy and the other detailing her own wedding. Now, I haven't had my own wedding yet, so I obviously can't talk about what it was like, and plus you all already know all about the specific details that we are planning so far. But I haven't posted that much about wedding philosophy, and RA's post definitely made me think about it.
RA and I have simultaneously very different and very similar philosophies when it comes to wedding planning. She was very laid back about the whole thing; I like to think that I am as well. She didn't allow herself to get totally bogged down in little details that nobody was going to remember anyway; so far, I've avoided that trap as well. Her philosophy boils down to the fact that the beauty of a good wedding isn't in the details of the table linens, it's in the happy, emotional aspect of the day. That's exactly how I feel as well.
However, the place where we differ is in our opinions of who the wedding is all about. RA achieved her zen wedding attitude by reminding herself that her wedding was about her and her husband, not about all their guests. My philosophy is slightly more complicated. After four months of wedding planning, my feeling is that the ceremony is about the couple; the reception is about the guests. At least for us.
This is part of why we're trying to keep our guest list small. We want our wedding to really be about the people who are most important to us and not about politics or who we feel we should invite. And we want our closest friends and family to have a really great time.
Not that we don't want to have fun at our own reception, because we absolutely do, and fully intend to. The things we plan to do at our reception are things that we genuinely want to do. But we're also not flipping out about making this the perfect day for us, and a lot of the things that we're doing, we're doing for our guests. And I think that's how it should be. Almost all of our guests will be traveling a long way to get to our wedding, some internationally. They'll be spending money and taking time off work to come celebrate in our marriage.
And I want us to celebrate in our marriage, first in a ceremony that is meaningful, personal, and all about the two of us and our love for one another. And then in a reception that is just a big, awesome party. The only reason that all of our guests will be at this party together is because Torsten and I are in love and have chosen to bring together all the people that are important to us. We want them to have a good time. We want them to enjoy themselves. We want them to remember our wedding with only positive feelings.
And so we aren't asking the DJ to play a specific playlist of our favourite songs. We'll select the first dance song and maybe a couple other must-haves, but other than that, our only goal is to keep the dance floor packed all night long. We won't forbid our DJ to play the electric slide, though we also won't ask him to--but if a bunch of guests request it, why shouldn't they get to dance to it? There will be flip flops near the dance floor so that nobody goes home limping at the end of the night.
There will be favours, and damn it, they'll be nice and easily packed in a suitcase, though we don't yet know what they will be. We won't do a receiving line at the ceremony, because the receiving lines that I've been in involved waiting forever, then feeling pressured to talk for two seconds and then get the hell out of the way so the next person can have their turn. Instead, we'll make an effort to walk around to all the tables at our reception and have a longer chat with every one of our guests. Yes, we will bloody well eat first. But then, we will walk and talk.
There won't be expensive gift bags in everyone's hotel rooms, but hopefully I'll have it together enough to at least include a welcome packet with a map and a list of good nearby restaurants. We're paying extra to include a pasta dish that neither of us likes very much so that vegetarians will have a real dinner option. We're doing the formal photos before the ceremony so that the guests won't have to wait around. We're having an open bar so that people can celebrate in true Saturday night style.
I so do not want to come across as all smug and self-congratulatory about this. I really hope that I don't sound that way. I think RA is totally right that it's important to remember that just because the day focuses on you doesn't give you the right to go crazy and start making unreasonable demands. That's why I'm trying to focus on our marriage and what it means: our lifelong commitment to each other and the love we have for each other. The wedding is a celebration of that love and commitment, and to us, it's about bringing together the important people in our lives for the first time. I just hope they all have a damn good time.

If only all couples shared your philosophy. Then no one would ever hear, "I HAVE to go to a wedding this weekend." It would always be, "I GET to go to a wedding this weekend."

Yay! I like this post. And everyone will have a fantastic time because they love you guys and are there for YOU!
And also? You guys are awesome for not forbidding the Electric Slide because I know some people that are too "classy" for that dance, but dammit it's FUN!
PS - Did I tell you that Mark and I may be spending New Years in DC? Are you guys around that weekend? - Thursday, December 13, 2007 8:14:00 AM

"The ceremony is about the couple; the reception is about the guests."
Very well said. Sounds like the recipe for a great wedding for everyone! - Thursday, December 13, 2007 8:30:00 AM
- RA said...
I like how you separate out the ceremony and reception; it sounds very realistic to me. When I kind of discounted the guests, it was more to save myself the trouble of accounting for them at every step, you know? Our reception was proportionally very low-key.
Amen for not having a receiving line! We walked around to tables, and even though it took a while, I would hated being a part of what I affectionately call the bridal buffet. - Thursday, December 13, 2007 8:49:00 AM

I had a similar philosophy, I think; I was still a little stressed at the end when everyone and their brother called about last minute details, but in retrospect I should have just chucked my cell phone.
I think what helped me is to hire people you trust, who's artistic presentation is one that you love, and let them roam free. Specify the details that matter to you up front, and that's it. Edible favors and no antiquated traditions at your wedding sounds fabulous. - Thursday, December 13, 2007 9:42:00 AM

"The ceremony is about the couple; the reception is about the guests." SO TRUE!
Our philosophy was, of course, the meaningful ceremony. When it came to the reception, it was about throwing a kick-ass party that people would talk about for years and it totally was. 2 bottles of wine on each table, we kept the bar open during dinner, and we did plan our entire play list. There was not a single person who didn't have a great time and we danced all night.
Of course, I had one shot and half a Pepsi all night because I was so busy and I ate less than half of my dinner, and had bruises on my arms the next day from where my straps dug in while I was dancing. It really was the best night of my life though.
Ok, now I have to do a wedding post. - Thursday, December 13, 2007 10:21:00 AM
- Banana said...
This is the first question I ask my clients - what is the most important thing (besides the whole "marriage" thing) about your wedding day to you? What feeling/general atmosphere do you think of when you think of your perfect day? You can build your budget from there, focusing on the most important (to you) things first.
For my wedding I felt very similar to you - I wanted it to be the most fun party my guests had been to. There was no receiving line, I did all of the "formal" things like cutting the cake, the toast, etc.. at the beginning so that we could get on with the dancing... and the karaoke. Yes, I had karaoke at my wedding and it was awesome. - Thursday, December 13, 2007 10:32:00 AM
- Jess said...
Penny--That's good advice. Perhaps I'll appoint someone (like my sister/maid of honor) to be in charge of my cell phone, and not deal with it at all myself.
Saly--Oh good, I love drawing people into the cult of wedding posts. I can't wait to read yours! - Thursday, December 13, 2007 10:46:00 AM

I love that you want to make sure the wedding favors can fit in a suitcase. VERY thoughtful of you.

I'm pretty much on the same page about the ceremony being about us and the reception being about our guests.
Which is why I recently sucked it up and wrote a very large check to a company that will transport our guests to and from the church/reception site. I want them to be taken care of from the moment they arrive. - Thursday, December 13, 2007 2:23:00 PM

I really like your philosophy! It seems very balanced. I mentioned this over at RA's blog, but I really like the idea of giving out-of-town guests postcards and stamps so they can mail a greeting to a friend!

PaulaOklahomaWhat A MessI used the original hard green formula for years and LOVED it. This new "improved" formula is a DISASTER. I had to use a solvent hand cleaner to get it off my hands. It is a sticky gooey mess. If this had been my first experience at waxing, I would have sworn off it forever. I guess Ill just have to try a different brand.posted Aug 31, 2006Link to this post

AnonymousBuffalo, NYThe Best At Home Waxing I've UsedThis product was by far the best at home waxing kit Ive ever used, and it is also the least painful. I only gave it a 4 out of 5 because it was difficult to use on very dense sections of hair. The tops of the legs were painless, quick and easy. However on the denser sections, I sometimes got stuck halfway through the pull and it really hurt. Maybe Ill just get better with time...posted Jul 27, 2006Link to this post

AmandaThe Only Home Hair Removal Product You Need.Like every woman out there who has tried every home hair removal product out there only to have one horrible experience after another, I was ready to give up. I was fed up with spending wasted money on home kits that didnt work and were such a mess, but I was even more fed up with expensive salon prices and the inconvienence of having to squeeze in an appointment in my already hectic day. I am so glad that I decided to give Surgi-Wax a try. I was skeptical keeping in mind all of my other failed purchases, but when I got home and proceeded to follow the instructions, I was AMAZED how easy it was and IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I couldnt believe it, it really did everything the box said it would do. No more inconvienent trips to the salon, no more spending $100.00s a month to stay hair free. This product REALLY is amazing and the only hair removal product you need. Finally girls (and guys), something that works...I recommend it to everyone I know!posted Jul 4, 2006Link to this post
HeatherCTGreat ProductI wax my bikini line and this is the best product i have used.i used to buy it at walmart which was easy but i guess they stopped carrying it.anyway its great because it just attaching itself to the hair and not your skin which is probably the least painful.every wax is painful but i tried strips and other products and this one is by far the least painful.there is even an oil that you can put on before the waxing to make sure it only sticks to the hair.redness goes away after about an hour.posted Feb 24, 2006Link to this post

Hi: 14° Lo:7°
THE GREEN light for the controversial Shottery development has shattered the belief of Stratford people in the Government's commitment to localism, MP Nadhim Zahawi told the House of Commons this week.
The Stratford MP was speaking at an adjournment debate he had successfully called on Wednesday evening (November 7), which gave him an opportunity to call for an explanation from the Department for Communities and Local Government, as to why the 800-home development in Shottery had been given the go-ahead despite almost unanimous opposition from local people.
But if Mr Zahawi was expecting answers he was disappointed as planning minister Nick Boles, speaking on behalf of Secretary of State Eric Pickles, said he could not comment on details of the decision while it was open to a possible legal challenge.
Mr Zahawi however made his and fellow constituents' feelings clear over the Shottery decision, questioning the Government's commitment to localism, which is meant to give more power to local people to make decisions on local matters.
Mr Zahawi said: "Localism is important because the closer the decision is to the people whom it affects, the better it will be.
"In a single stroke, the decision shattered my constituents' belief in the Government's commitment to localism.
"It grants permission for a village-sized development to be welded to the edge of this important, historic town and to build a new link road directly behind the cottage in which William Shakespeare's wife grew up, which is a significant tourist attraction. Anne Hathaway's house is a grade I listed building, it has a registered listed park and garden, and is is an integral part of the Shakespeare story, which itself is an integral part of the story of our island, our culture and our language.
"This decision will create a permanent scar on the landscape, breach a historic town's boundary and begin an urban sprawl into what are currently open fields.
"In the planning inspector's own words, there will be "harm" to Anne Hathaway's cottage and, moreover, "a degree of adverse effect on tourist numbers cannot be ruled out."
Stratford District Council are set to consider next Tuesday (November 13) whether to appeal against the decision.
And a debate on Stratford district's planning policy is being held on November 19.
The Liberal Democrats demanded an Extraordinary Meeting of Stratford District Council to discuss on-going delays in the drawing up of the district's Core Strategy - guidelines for long term planning policy - which was originally expected in October 2009.
Lib-Dems want to discuss concerns including the delay to the Core Strategy, and are also concerned the Shottery verdict casts major doubts over the house building targets currently included in the draft Core Strategy, prompting fears it could lead to more sites becoming the target of developers.
Coun Chris Saint, leader of the Tory-controlled district council, last week issued a lengthy statement on the Core Strategy. He told The Observer it was vital the agreed Core Strategy had "integrity" and he was not prepared to compromise.
The full transcript of Mr Zahawi's and Mr Boles' speech in the House of Commons.
Nadhim Zahawi (Stratford-on-Avon, Conservative)
I am most grateful to the House for granting this debate. A commitment to localism was at the heart of the Conservative campaign in 2010, so much so that the Conservative party manifesto was entitled "Invitation to Join the Government of Britain". Our meaning was clear: in government, Conservatives would trust local people to make decisions about the things that mattered in their communities.
In the manifesto section on planning, we promised specifically that"people in each neighbourhood will be able to" choose "what kind of development they want"; that "new housing estates, will have to be designed through a collaborative process"; and that planning inspectors with no stake in the decision will no longer be able to rewrite local plans. Like many of my colleagues, I stood in village hall after village hall and sold that vision of a better politics.
Why is localism important? It is important because the closer the decision is to the people whom it affects, the better it will be. Why? That is because of accountability. If I or my councillors make a decision, we know we can be held accountable, not only at the ballot box but in the street. My constituents will see me at surgeries and the supermarket, or perhaps enjoying a glass of orange juice in one of Stratford's very fine public houses. If they do not like a decision, they can stop me and tell me why. Therein lies the strength of British democracy. We came into government because we wanted to undo the damage wrought by arbitrary target setting, anonymous officialdom and centralised control. We came into government to do away with the dictatorship of the clipboard-wielding jobsworth, yet time and again Members of the House and the people of this country have been let down by localism.
We had just such a decision last week in my constituency—the Secretary of State's decision to endorse an inspector's report on 24 October approving 800 new units on greenfield land on the edge of the town of Stratford-upon-Avon. In a single stroke, the decision shattered my constituents' belief in the Government's commitment to localism. It grants permission for a village-sized development to be welded to the edge of this important, historic town and to build a new link road directly behind the cottage in which William Shakespeare's wife grew up, which is a significant tourist attraction. Anne Hathaway's house is a grade I listed building, it has a registered listed park and garden, and is the location of Shakespeare's second-best bed, an item he famously bequeathed to his wife in his will. History is silent, of course, on who got the best bed. Anne Hathaway's cottage is an integral part of the Shakespeare story, which itself is an integral part of the story of our island, our culture and our language. It is no less a piece of this country's heritage than "The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples" of this nation's capital. Anne Hathaway's cottage has survived the English Reformation, the civil war, the industrial revolution and even 13 years of Labour. The question for my constituents is whether it will survive the careless stroke of a planning inspector's pen.
This is not about a modest conservatory extension to Anne Hathaway's cottage. It is a decision that will create a permanent scar on the landscape, breach a historic town's boundary and begin an urban sprawl into what are currently open fields. In the planning inspector's own words, there will be "harm" to Anne Hathaway's cottage and, moreover, "a degree of adverse effect on tourist numbers cannot be ruled out."
Some, such as my hon. Friend the Minister, might say that opposition to this development is just nimbyism, but they would be plain wrong. Stratford district council is doing the right thing. It knows that the area needs more housing. It has already planned for an increase of 15.6% in housing numbers. That is 500 more homes than the regional spatial strategy demanded and makes a total figure of 8,000 new homes in a relatively small district. What it had not planned for, however, is 10% of the 8,000 total being placed in one wholly unsuitable location.
In effect, this decision was a test case—the old system of centrally imposed targets and top-down decision making versus bottom-up planning and locally determined, evidence-based housing targets. There are no prizes for guessing on which side a planning inspector, an individual whose very existence relies on the top-down approach, came down. It is, however, deeply disappointing that a Secretary of State who has been so keen on promoting localism chose simply to rubber-stamp this decision and accept its flawed logic. Despite the inspector's view, if we subscribe to localism there is no question about a five-year land supply in the district. There has never been any suggestion that this land, adjacent to a historic property and on the special landscape of Bordon hill, would ever be considered acceptable for development.
I am sure that my Hon. Friend the Minister will tell me that as the council's local plan review contains the land west of Shottery, it has, as the inspector put it, "accepted that the harm created was acceptable".
However, if that is the case then the Minister, like the inspector has failed to recognise that the land was only included as a result of a top-down imposition. The location in question was introduced by a planning inspector in 2005, following an examination of the local plan review. When the council voted to reject its inclusion it was told by the inspectorate that it would have no adopted plan unless it was included. So in 2005 an inspector overrode the wishes of elected members and rewrote the local plan. In 2010, we promised that inspectors would no longer have that power, but two years later this Government used the land's inclusion by a bureaucrat, against the wishes of elected members seven years ago, to override a locally determined decision that was in line with locally determined emerging policy.
Thanks to this decision, Stratford district has again found that an inspector has effectively rewritten its local plan, imposing an increased housing target that is over and above that defined in both the local plan review and the draft core strategy. According to the inspector, the council's housing target must now be between 11,000 and 12,000 houses, a 25% increase over current numbers. Thanks to the continued power of an unelected inspector's recommendation, the council's chance of having that figure overturned, regardless of its evidence base, is slim, and it is now having to re-do much of its core strategy weeks before it was due to be submitted. This is not the localism that we were promised.
Again, I am sure that my hon. Friend the Minister will have an answer. He no doubt buys into the inspector's view that there is no evidence for the council's 8,000 figure, but the very same evidence report that the inspector references for the arbitrary 11,000 to 12,000 figure also provided evidence for the 8,000 figure, stating that a figure in this range has "the least environmental impact" and—importantly—is "the option likely to do the most to preserve the character of the District." That character is relied on heavily for the tourism trade on which Stratford so depends.
The alternatives that the council's independent consultants put forward were described in their report as scenarios in which "the environmental impact is high" or "the impact on the district's character is hard to judge". However, that would certainly be "higher" than if the council adopted a target in the lower 8,000 range.
The inspector wrongly declared that officers had recommended a figure of between 11,000 and 12,000, but that only happened in the dreams of the developers, not in real life. Even if it had, of what importance would it be? It should be elected representatives who make policy decisions, not unelected officials. Otherwise, we might as well do away with councillors, and, by the same thinking, Secretaries of State, in favour of letting the bureaucracy at the centre run the country. That is the central issue here. Either we believe in localism and trust the people to make the right decision, or we do not.
That is not to say that localism is easy. Not every local plan will succeed. Some will undoubtedly fail, but central Government cannot have it both ways. Either we believe in the capacity of local people to make good decisions about the future of their communities, or we admit that localism was just a vote-winning slogan and that people cannot be trusted. I believe, however, that we are quick learners. If one area is making decisions that benefit it significantly more, then similar decisions elsewhere will not be far behind. That is basic human nature and that is why localism, given a chance, will work.
I am extremely grateful that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has stayed to listen to my speech, and I am hopeful that the planning Minister will stand up and revoke his decision and allow the people of Stratford to have their choice. If he does not, however, I would like him to answer some specific questions. When will the west midlands regional spatial strategy be revoked? How does he defend his use of an outdated local plan review to justify housing being approved on a site when elected members expressly voted against the site in question, only to be told by an inspector rewriting their local plan that it must be included? When was the decision on Shottery made? If it was made in late October, how can this decision, which rewrites the housing numbers, not be premature in the face of a local plan that was to be submitted less than a month later? If it was made earlier, when the core strategy was, in the words of the inspector, "at a relatively early stage" rather than weeks away from submission, why was it not announced then?
How can the Secretary of State defend the newly imposed figure of 11,000 to 12,000 houses when there is, in the council's view, no more evidence base provided for that figure than the 8,000 figure put forward by the council? How can the Minister defend an inspector effectively rewriting a local plan when we expressly promised that that would no longer be the case? Finally, what is his answer to those who say that this kind of decision sets a precedent for the next tranche of localism, namely police and crime commissioners, and suggests that if the centre deems fit, it will simply overrule any local decision?
Response from Planning Minister Nicholas Boles (Grantham and Stamford, Conservative), on behalf of Eric Pickles, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
I congratulate my Hon. Friend Nadhim Zahawi on securing the debate on a subject of such great importance to his constituents. He is not just my hon. Friend, but I hope, even after the strength of feeling that he has expressed tonight, my friend—and he is not just my friend, but one of the great talents and one of the most effective constituency representatives to be elected alongside me in 2010. Madam Deputy Speaker, I am sure you remember—I certainly do—his speech in May when he moved the Loyal Address. The whole House was moved when he talked of his family arriving in Britain with £50 in their pockets, refugees from tyranny in Iraq. He talked of his pride in representing Stratford-on-Avon, one of England's most beautiful and historic towns. He paid tribute to another self-taught, self-made and self-created man: William Shakespeare, in my view the greatest Englishman who has ever lived.
I can understand my hon. Friend's determination to protect Stratford-on-Avon from inappropriate development and his disappointment at this recent planning decision. I hope that he will appreciate that I cannot comment on the details of the decision, because it is still open to legal challenge by the authority or, indeed, anyone else. It would be wrong for a judge to comment on his or her court judgments, and in this capacity the Secretary of State acts in a quasi-judicial role. The reasons are set out fully in the decision letter.
I would like to reassure my hon. Friend about the Government's commitment to localism in planning, while also illuminating the responsibilities, as well as the powers, that localism entails. The last Government believed that they could solve Britain's long-standing and severe housing crisis through regional spatial strategies and centrally imposed housing targets. Whatever the merits of the original concept, the facts are clear: they failed miserably. They infuriated local communities, such as Stratford-on-Avon and many others, and infuriated and undermined the councils that represented them. Those councils, quite understandably, responded by dragging their feet in making plans and doing their best to challenge and evade those regional housing targets.
What was the result for house building? It stalled during an economic boom, so when this Government came into office, we embarked on a different approach. We decided to give local authorities, representing local communities, the power to plan and the responsibility to provide housing to meet housing need in their areas. We encouraged them to adopt local plans, and communities —those that wanted to—to adopt neighbourhood plans to reflect local views about how their places should develop. We also decided that regional strategies would go.
We are trying to make as much progress as we can, within the law, to get rid of those regional strategies, but thanks to our old friend, the EU directive, this has taken longer and been more painful than we had hoped. But we are making good progress. Today we published the consultation on the strategic environmental assessment of the north-east plan, which means that we have now published consultation papers on five of the outstanding plans, and we hope to be able to respond to the consultation and all the comments it attracts shortly—and by that I mean months not years. We are making progress and there is light at the end of the tunnel, although we all wish that we had reached the end sooner.
I could take the easy way out and blame the Shottery decision entirely on the regional spatial strategy—that nasty hangover from a dictatorial Government—but it would not be wholly honest to do so. The regional spatial strategies came up with numbers for a region's objectively assessed housing need. Local plans need to determine equally objectively assessed local housing need in a local authority area. I want to help local authorities, not just in Stratford-on-Avon, but elsewhere, to understand both the powers and the responsibilities enshrined in the national planning policy framework, so that they can equip themselves to prevent such decisions in future.
England has a chronic and severe housing shortage, and we will fail the next generation of hard-working people if we do not build more homes for them to raise their families in. The national planning policy framework is therefore clear that councils must estimate their housing need based on an objective assessment of all available evidence and identify five years' supply of deliverable, developable sites.
If an authority has an up-to-date local plan, with identified sites to meet five years of objectively assessed need, it has all the powers it needs to resist speculative applications for development on sites that lie outside the local plan. Such an authority need fear nothing from the Planning Inspectorate or even clipboard jobsworths such as me. However, if an authority does not have a plan or even a draft plan that contains an objective assessment of housing need and identifies five years of developable, deliverable sites, it runs the risk of its decisions being overturned on appeal, as happened in the case of Shottery. I know that Stratford-on-Avon has been working on a draft plan and has commissioned a housing options study to inform it. I welcome that, but the regrettable truth is that rates of housing supply in the district of Stratford-on-Avon have been lower than those in Warwickshire and England as a whole. Like many authorities, therefore, Stratford-on-Avon still has much work to do.
The good news is that the Government's approach of devolving power and responsibility to local authorities is working. Forty-eight local plans have been adopted since May 2011, and 65% of councils have published a plan for public consultation. We also have 100 neighbourhood plans up and running, and we are supporting more than 200 communities to take control of the future shape of their towns and villages. I am delighted that Stratford-on-Avon's neighbourhood plan is making progress, and I would like to offer my hon. Friend all my support and that of my officials to help to achieve the truly local control of planning that he and his constituents seek. I know that the answer I have been able to give this evening will not satisfy him or his constituents fully, but I hope that he and they understand that this Government have put in place that power and responsibility, which will enable the people of Stratford-on-Avon to take control of their town and preserve it for many generations to come.

About Me New Owner
Comments about Primal Pet Foods Poultry Necks Raw Dog & Cat Food:
feed 6 mo 35 lb dog 3 necks/day (blanched with skin removed). A crunchy treat (he loves them!) that provides natural calcium. Careful defrosting in fridge, as bags can leak. When teething, I pre-cut into bite-sized pieces, now that he has all adult teeth, no longer necessary.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Both my Cockers were raised with periodic raw foods. They both love chicken necks and I can't open the freezer without them wondering if and when they will get some more. It is great excercise for their teeth and gums,and seems to satisfy chewing. I definitely think they are worth the trouble of ordering from out of state, and my girls think so, too!
