Expresses serious concern over fake encounters by the police
The Supreme Court on Friday expressed serious concern over fake encounters and said "tolerance of police atrocities would amount to acceptance of systemic subversion and erosion of the rule of law."
Upholding life sentence awarded to four police officers who were responsible for the kidnap and killing of a human rights activist, a Bench of Justices P. Sathasivam and B.S. Chauhan said: "Police atrocities are always violative of the constitutional mandate, particularly, Article 21 [protection of life and personal liberty] and Article 22 [person arrested must be informed the grounds of detention and produced before a Magistrate within 24 hours]."
Writing the judgment, Justice Chauhan said: "Such provisions ensure that arbitrary arrest and detention are not made. Police atrocities in India have always been a subject matter of controversy and debate. In view of the provisions of Article 21 of the Constitution, any form of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment is inhibited."
The Bench made it clear that torture was not permissible "whether it occurs during investigation, interrogation or otherwise. The wrongdoer is accountable and the state is responsible if a person in custody of the police is deprived of his life except in accordance with the procedure established by law."
The Bench said: "When the matter comes to the court, it has to balance the protection of fundamental rights of an individual and duties of the police. It cannot be gainsaid that freedom of an individual must yield to the security of the state. The state must protect victims of torture, ill-treatment as well as the human rights defender fighting for the interest of the victims, giving the issue serious consideration for the reason that victims of torture suffer enormous consequences psychologically."
The Bench said: "The state must ensure prohibition of torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment to any person, particularly at the hands of any state agency/police force. Torture and custodial death have always been condemned by the courts in this country. In a given case if there is some material on record to reveal the police atrocities, the court must take stern action against the erring police officials in accordance with law."
In the instant case, five police officers Prithipal Singh, Satnam Singh, Surinderpal Singh, Jasbir Singh and Amarjit Singh were awarded seven years' imprisonment by a trial court in Punjab for the kidnap and murder of Jaswant Singh Khalra in 1995. On appeal from the victim's wife for enhancement of the punishment, the Punjab and Haryana High Court, while acquitting Amarjit Singh, awarded life sentence to the other four. The present appeal by the four convicts is directed against this judgment.
Dismissing the appeal, the Bench agreed with the submissions of Additional Solicitor-General Mohan Jain that there were concurrent findings of facts by two courts that all the appellants were guilty of abducting Jaswant Singh Khalra with intent to eliminate him.
The Bench said: "The findings so recorded are based on appreciation of evidence. In a case where the person is alleged to have died in police custody, it is difficult to get any kind of evidence. Rarely in cases of police torture or custodial death, is direct ocular evidence available of the complicity of the police personnel, who alone can explain the circumstances in which a person in their custody had died. Bound as they are by the ties of brotherhood, it is not unknown that police personnel prefer to remain silent and more often than not even pervert the truth to save their colleagues." In such cases, corroborative evidence or sole testimony of a witness would be sufficient to hold the accused guilty of the offence, the Bench held.

GUTERRES, Zaira da Rosa et al. Genotoxic and antigenotoxic effects of organic extracts of mushroom Agaricus blazei Murrill on V79 cells . Genet. Mol. Biol. [online]. 2005, vol.28, n.3, pp. 458-463. ISSN 1415-4757. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-47572005000300022.
Agaricus blazei Murrill, popularly known as the sun mushroom, is a native mushroom in SP, Brazil, that has been widely used in the treatment of cancer and many other pathologies in different parts of the world. A water-soluble protein-polysaccharide complex (1 ® 6)b-D-glucan has been isolated from its fruiting body that showed immune-modulation activity. From organic extracts, linoleic acid has been isolated and determined to be the main substance with antimutagenic activity. Using both the micronucleus (MN) and comet (single cell microgel electrophoresis) assays, this study determined the genotoxic and antigenotoxic potential of A. blazei (AB) obtained from commercial sources or the following strains: a) strains AB 97/29 (young and sporulated phases); b) a mixture taken from AB 96/07, AB 96/09 and AB 97/11 strains; and c) commercial mushrooms from Londrina, PR and Piedade, SP, designated as AB PR and AB SP, respectively. The extracts from these mushrooms were isolated in chloroform:methanol (3:1) and used in vitro at three different concentrations. V79 cells (Chinese hamster lung cells) were exposed to the extracts under pre-, simultaneous and post-treatment conditions, combined with methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). Under the circumstances of this study, these organic extracts did not show any genotoxic or mutagenic effects, but did protect cells against the induction of micronuclei by MMS.
Keywords : Agaricus blazei; micronuclei; comet assay; V79 cells; mushroom extracts.

The Fuming Fuji Says No to Pita Chips
Posted By Worker Bee On January 2, 2007 @ 12:09 pm In Humor,Hype,Raising Healthy Children | Comments Disabled
The Fuming Fuji is outraged at the marketing of toxic food, especially when it's aimed at the small fry. This week, the Fuming Fuji has decided to have a serious problem with pita chips.
But Fuming Fuji, you ask, aren't pita chips healthy?
The Fuming Fuji says no!
The claim: The Fuming Fuji was blinded by "natural" and "wholesome" and "whole-grain". Also, by a lovely Granny Smith strolling past.
The catch: Lies, all lies. Pita chips are not healthy because they are greasy, salty, and fried. It does not matter that pita is a nice word which is very fun to spell.
The comeback: That's it? That's your best? Come on, Fuji – pita chips have to be healthier than nachos.
The conclusion: People, for the last time: A chip is a chip is a chip, except Pentium, which is admittedly low-fat. The Fuming Fuji does not care to comment. EVEN if a chip is not made with trans fat and EVEN if a chip is made from nice grains and EVEN if a chip is baked instead of fried, the chip is still a chip! It is still a processed food made with the use of a stamp.
The catchphrase: For pita's sake!
Disclaimer: Mark Sisson and the Worker Bees do not necessarily endorse the views of the Fuming Fuji.

105-year-old bike to be auctioned
Wednesday December 28, 2011 08:10:39 PM,
London: A rusty, old motorbike from 1906, believed to be one of the world's oldest motorised two-wheelers, will soon be auctioned. The 1906 Indian Camelback is reportedly one of the world's "most sought after" motorbikes and is expected to fetch 50,000 pounds, The Sun reported. Only 1,698 such vehicles were made that year and the one to be auctioned is one of the few remaining. It was owned by the du Pont family, which bought the "Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing Company" that built it. The company was the rival of Harley-Davidson but went bankrupt in 1953. The motorbike was equipped with a single cylinder and 2.25 horse power, and probably reached speeds of around 50 km per hour. The vehicle that was last ridden in the 1970s would be auctioned at Bonhams in Las Vegas, Jan 12.

MORRISTOWN – Coach Rich Rupert begins his second season at the helm of the Morristown Girls Basketball program and likes his teams progress from last year.
One of the biggest things we did last year was teaching the basic fundamentals. This year. We have those basics pretty down and right now we are just growing on them, said Rupert whose team opens play at the Morristown Green Rockets Turkey Tip Off Basketball Tournament sponsored by the schools booster club on Friday with Lyme.
We only have seven girls playing varsity. But numbers are good at the JV level (nine) and modified level (18) so thats promising. But the seven girls we have are very solid.
Senior point guard Jordan Tully returns to the team along with junior Sam Green guard, sophomore forwards Taylor Piercey and Jessica Geddes and junior forward Mackenzie Barse.
Liz Troiano who played at the modified level and Micaela Roberts are two newcomers.
Liz is a good athlete and has picked up the sport well after not playing for two years. Teams are going to be surprised on our conditioning. And weve improved a lot on offense and defense from a year ago. Were still have a lot of improvement but I like what Ive seen so far, said Rupert who will be assisted by his brother Scott and nephew Andrew Rupert who also work with junior varsity and modified teams.

Learning to fly will change your life forever, while opening up a world of possibilities to you….and the exhilarating sensation of flight is more fun than you ever imagined! You're confidence will soar as you master challenging skills. Imagine flying to a nearby community for breakfast or dinner, following your favorite team to away games, and taking your friends or family on a weekend getaway and still having plenty of weekend left to enjoy!
If you're ready to begin flight training, call us to schedule your first lesson. He's here to help answer your questions and teach you to become a safe and well trained pilot. At JCFS our private flight and ground school lessons work together for maximum retention. Almost every lesson will begin with ground instruction followed by a flight. You'll learn flight rules and regulations, flight planning, navigation, radio procedures, weather, flight safety, airports, aeronautical charts, airspace and air traffic control services including the use of radar.

At JCFS our private flight and ground school lessons work together for maximum retention. Almost every lesson will begin with ground instruction followed by a flight. You'll learn flight rules and regulations, flight planning, navigation, radio procedures, weather, flight safety, airports, aeronautical charts, airspace and air traffic control services including the use of radar.
Flight School
The fun starts the first time you are learning to fly the airplane. You'll be in the left seat during your very first lesson and you'll be doing most of the flying. Our certified flight instructor will be in the right seat with its own complete set of flight controls. The first thing you'll do is learn how to handle the plane on the ground. In the air, you'll begin with the four fundamentals – climbs, descents, turns and straight and level flight. Then you'll master takeoffs, learn maneuvers that refine your skills and teach you how to correct for the effects of wind and learn how to land the airplane. You'll repeat these skills until they become second nature to you…gradually taking on more and more responsibility, until you are ready to fly the airplane alone.
Your First Solo Flight
After about 15-20 hours of training, you'll be ready to take your first solo flight! Everything you have learned has prepared you to take this exciting step in your aviation training. The weather and traffic conditions will be just right; your instructor will complete the proper paperwork and get out of the airplane. You are on your own and this is the day that you truly become a pilot.
Cross Country Flying
After mastering the basics, you'll learn how to go somewhere in the plane. You'll plan a "cross-country" flight between two distant airports and how to navigate in the air. You'll use nautical charts, navigational instruments and how to fly at night and find your way around. You'll learn about weather and determine whether it's safe to fly before you ever leave the ground. As you make multiple solo flights to numerous destinations in the local area and cross-country, your confidence will increase and you'll be well on your way to becoming a competent pilot.
Getting Your Certificate
It is now time for you to take your FAA tests. There is a knowledge test that consists of 60 multiple choice questions that evaluate your knowledge of the ground school material and a practical test with an FAA designated pilot examiner. The practical includes both an oral and flight portion. When you successfully complete these tests you will receive your private pilot certificate and be able to take your friends and family on their first airplane ride with you at the controls.
Private Pilot Certificate
You can now fly solo, carry passengers, fly during the day or night and fly to any of the 12,000 airports across the country. You can share the cost of your airplane rental with your passengers, as long as you pay an equal share—but you cannot receive compensation for your piloting unless you earn a Commercial Pilot certificate.
You can continue to rent an airplane each time you fly, or many pilots choose to own their aircraft.
Good pilots are always learning, so many continue to improve their skills and expand their flying options by pursuing an instrument rating that allows you to fly in the clouds or in low visibility conditions. You could also pursue a commercial certificate that permits you to fly for hire.
How Long Will It Take?
The Private Pilot Course at JCFS could be completed in as little as 60 days. On the average you can expect to complete this program in five months. There are no time restrictions as to how long a student takes to complete their training. 45 – 60 hours is the average amount of time it takes to complete the course.
What Does It Cost?
Your cost to obtain your private pilot certificate will vary depending on the amount of time you put in, how often you fly and how quickly you learn. Learning to fly is not inexpensive, but it is an investment that will continue to bring you enjoyment and opportunities for the rest of your life.
Yes, you can learn to fly!
You've always dreamed of flying and it's easy, affordable, accessible and safe. You will need to meet a few basic requirements to become a private pilot. You must be at least 17 years old to receive your pilot's certificate, but you can begin lessons at any age and solo at 16. You must also be able to speak, read and write English and pass a basic medical examination.
What You'll Fly
At JCFS, our training fleet includes a Cessna 150 and two Piper Warrior 160s. Our aircraft are impeccably maintained from nose to tail. These aircraft are perfect for flight training. They're easy to fly, stable, sporty and fun! The interiors offer great visibility, comfortable seating, are IFR Certified and have GPS technology.

Industry Focus: Healthcare IT
When it comes to medicine, technology always seems to lag behind. Misalignment, mismanagement and other stumbling blocks have made it difficult for healthcare firms to truly realize the benefits technology can bring to the industry. This special industry focus highlights recent advancements in telemedicine, the development of new treatments and, of course, the ongoing push to digitize patient health records.

SNAP! A Spate of Subpoenas
The Dems are getting serious. Get this: They may subpoena Condi to get her to testify about her role in pumping the whole Niger uranium myth. The House Judiciary Committee also voted to grant former senior Justice aide Monica Goodling immunity in exchange for her testimony on the U.S. Attorney firings. A subpoena for Bush's Monica was approved but not issued (yet). My personal favoritejust because the Condi affair seems pretty stale at this pointis that Patrick Leahy wrote a note to Alberto Gonzales telling him to refresh his memory and report back in a week. (There was much the Attorney General couldn't recall in his testimony last week.) Subpoenas were also approved for members of the Republican National Committee, who the House hopes will shed some light on the slew of missing emails from Attorney-gate.

I think describing color to anyone would be like speaking gibberish. Honestly describing any mental state or perception just totally breaks down, in my opinion. But I'm one of those crazy clowns who still reads Wittgenstein.

I think words come with sensations for blind people. I mean, if your other senses are how you "view" the world, then maybe it isn't illogical to think that with a better perspective on blindness, a seeing person could describe green by using a series of words that have a particular feeling to them, or sentiment, or texture. The only problem is, we the seeing have no concept of word texture (not in the same way the blind do, unless you have synaesthesia :P) Oh, wait, yeah. Just get synaesthetics to describe green to the blind; some of them experience color through other senses anyway.One of my classmates is a pianist with synaesthesia, and he says certain notes are connected to certain visions, be they color or image or some combination. Pretty cool.

Can someone please explain why we would be explaining colour to a blind person in the first place? If they were born blind, then they wouldn't even know that colour existed unless told about it, and I doubt they would ask since they would never see it. If they were blinded later in their life, most likely they had working eyes before they went blind and saw the colourful world around them. :OFor describing colour though, I don't know all these technical words everyone's using, but i'd probably describe the colours to what they would normally relate to, red would be a warm colour, or angry, blue would be cool and such, and so on. No doubt they'd get a good idea of what it would generally 'look' like, or it's presence would have an effect of to someone like in a painting, not general use.

wow, reading these posts hurts my head. i find it very hard to attempt to think logically
Posted Apr 6, '08 at 2:00am
any way, my description of color... well, its not really a feeling, i mean, it cant be... well, colors do represent feelings to a point i suppose, but if u dont know colors exist, then how can they stand for anything? but, how can colors not exist though? i mean, what color does a blind person see? i mean, they cant see, but, that feeling has to exist somehow, doesnt it? i mean, can u imagine there being no such thing as sight?
Posted Apr 6, '08 at 2:01am
oops i didnt mean feeling but that sense
Posted Apr 6, '08 at 2:15am
Well, colour is made through our brain and eye's cooperation, also, you can imagine colour in your head, now you know what colour looks like, so you automatically use them, but what if you never saw colour before? The colours we see everyday are 'mandatory' for us, therefore, when someone who has never seen anything like it before, couldn't they think about it? Even perhaps imagine new colours not see-able(as they've never been exposed to the spectrum we see). I'm not saying it's possible, but then again, I'm not blind, I've seen the world, and I don't study and 'ologies' that circulate around the human neurological system and such.

- For other uses, see Passepartout (disambiguation).
Passe-Partout (French for "passkey" or "all-purpose") was a Quebec French language children's television program produced by Radio-Québec (later Télé-Québec) that was in production from 1977 to 1987. It aired on Radio-Québec as well as on Radio-Canada for thirty minutes, lasting on some networks until 1998. It incorporated both live actors and puppets although neither group interacted with the other.
Show History[edit]
When Sesame Street was released in 1969, the possibility of translating it in Quebec French for broadcasting in Quebec was considered. However, the conclusion was that Quebec children would not be able to identify with an American television show, and thus the Quebec Minister of Education began investigating the possibility of a children's show shot in the province. After two years (in 1973), the project was handed over to a producer, Laurent Lachance.
However, internal conflict between Lachance and Radio-Québec led to several delays, and ultimately, to Lachance stepping down as producer. The government then turned toward private enterprises, and, on February 14, 1977, contracted JPL Production to produce the show.
The commentary for the first season's DVD mentions that the Quebec Minister of Education was being pressured to take over the pre-school program as part of the regular program (prématernelle). It reveals that the government, experimentally, opted to invest in a show that could have a comparable outreach for the curriculum for a fraction of the cost of establishing and maintaining an actual educational program of similar content within its school system.
Show Concept[edit]
Live Action Segments[edit]
Live action segments usually featured the activities and relationships of several humorous and infantile characters: Passe-Partout (a woman dressed mainly in blue played by Marie Eykel), Passe-Carreau (a woman dressed mainly in yellow played by Claire Pimparé) and Passe-Montagne (a man dressed in brown sporting butterfly-shaped bowties played by Jacques L'Heureux). Other characters that sometime appeared were André (a young adult male played by André Cartier), Julie (a young adult female played by Jocelyne Goyette), Fardoche (a male farmer played by Pierre Dufresne) and Grand-mère (a neighbouring older woman that played grandmother for the actors). The latter would sometime narrate legends (the actress playing Grand-mère, Kim Yaroshevskaya, used to be the hostess of another children show called Fanfreluche where she also acted as a storyteller).
Apart from the distinctive costumes of the main actors, the live action segments had a surrealistic feel due to the absence of any visible walls: all doors, windows and portraits were seen to hang in mid-air. Whether this was due to budget constraints or artistic choices is unclear.
Segments in this category could either be educational (counting, language skils, memory work, etc.), musical (featuring original songs composed in a traditional folk style), moralistic (personal responsibility), or storytelling.
Puppet Segment[edit]
Unlike the live action segments, these were filmed in a realistic environment (although of course scaled down). The various sketches involved the twins Cannelle (girl) and Pruneau (boy). Their stories often featured Perlin and Perline (their parents), Grand-Papa Bi (their grandfather, father of Perline), Madame Coucou (a neighbour), Rigodon (their same-age male cousin), Ti-Brin (the slightly older bully/bad influence) as well as their classmates: Doualé (a girl from the fictional country of Cantaloupe) and Mélodie (Cannelle's friend who often acted as an object of pity). Another character which never interacted directly with the children (although they often conversed, largely perhaps in the children's imagination) was Alakazou, an anthropomorphic zebra who hosted Cannelle and Pruneau's favourite TV show.
More often than not, the puppet segments dealt with social and moral issues relating to children. In one notable instance, the children's father lost his job and went on extended unemployment benefits, making their future uncertain.
Many innovative short films were shown in between segments. These could be anything from animation (a face forming out of vegetable), art (a woman carving a puppet out of an apple) or children's testimonials. Many of these shorts depicted real-life activities that viewing children could either relate to (kids playing) or learn from if they happened to be from the opposite end of the spectrum (city life v. country life). Many also aimed to teach about daily happenings, from going to the dentist, getting x-rays, starting school, playing with friends (or alone), cleaning your bike, or simply going to bed.
While most of these shorts did not involve any of the characters from the other segments, more orchestrated ones did (such as Passe-Carreau getting her car serviced, Passe-Montagne getting his shoe fixed, etc.).
People who grew up watching the program as children are termed the "Passe-Partout generation". In 2005, "Les Francs-Tireurs" dedicated one of their episodes to Passe-Partout (with Marie Eykel present), while in 2006, "Ici Louis-José Houde", a show tracing a humouristic history of Québec television, aired an episode tracing the history of children's show in Québec, with much of the show dedicated to Passe-Partout, and Eykel, Pimparé and L'Heureux all present.
It was also announced early in 2006 that work was underway on putting together DVD releases of the first two seasons of the show, in reaction to the sales of pirate versions of the series on eBay (with bids reaching the hundred dollars by the time the auction was canceled). Initially Télé-Québec was not interested in re-broadcasting the series, nor in producing a DVD. Marie Eykel and Jacques L'Heureux obtained the broadcast rights to the first 125 episodes. The DVD is produced by both actors, Télé-Québec, and Alliance Atlantis Vivafilm.
The DVD was released on November 21, 2006 - nearly selling out on first day sales. [1]
On September 29, 2009, a CD album entitled Génération Passe-Partout was released with some of the songs recorded by current artists from Quebec.

February 12th, 2013 at 8:10 amA couple of months ago Clare Curran sparked a furore at The Standard, where accusations of gagging and intimidation of Labour Party members were made. Curran admitted involvement but she stated:
"Not at any point have I sought disciplinary action against any individual."
One of the targets of the actions, Colonial Viper, has just suggested otherwise:
…Clare, Trevor, and a substantial portion of both the Labour Caucus and NZ Council know exactly who I am.
And I don't just "claim" to be a Labour Party member, I'm a Labour Party member, donor, activist, and organiser that the ABCs threatened in person, and then wanted to revoke the membership of via disciplinary proceedings in front of NZ Council.
Curran has just postyed that she wanted to comment occassionally at The Standard – but pretending there's no unresolved history is not a good way to start. Especially if the appearance that she may have been fibbing is not addressed.

For those who haven't heard,
Washington State recently passed two new laws – gay marriage and legalised marijuana.
The fact that gay marriage and marijuana were legalised on the same day makes perfect biblical sense because
Leviticus 20:13 says "If a man lies with another man they should be stoned."
We just hadn't interpreted it correctly before!

February 12th, 2013 at 9:11 amThis is peculiarly an age in which one of us may, if he do but search diligently, find the literature suited to his mental powers. Grave and earnest men, at school and elsewhere, had tried Griff with Greek, Latin, and with English, and the sheep-like stolidity with which he declined to be interested in the masterpieces of all three tongues had left them with the conviction that he would never read anything.
And then, years afterwards, he had suddenly blossomed out as a student. Only, it is true, a student of An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, but still a student. His was a dull life, and Al Gore was the only person who brought excitement into it.
Existence for Griff was simply a desert punctuated with daily oases in the shape of reading about global warming and smoking pot.

February 12th, 2013 at 9:19 amPosted this late last night on the Sweden thread…
Sweden has the highest rape count in the world, and it's mostly Muslims committing the crimes.
Who has the highest number of rapes in the world?
The title sadly goes to Sweden, which now sees one out of every four Swedish women being the victim of rape.
Is this the result of the rapid influx of Muslim immigrants who continue to form a larger percentage of the Swedish population?
From the Counter Jihad Report:With Muslims represented in as many as 77 percent of the rape cases and a major increase in rape cases paralleling a major increase in Muslim immigration, the wages of Muslim immigration are proving to be a sexual assault epidemic by a misogynistic ideology.
The escalation of rape in Sweden is so bad that in July of last year there were an average of five rapes a day reported in Stockholm. Think about that for a minute; five women being raped a day in a modern civilized city. This isn't Afghanistan or Mexico we're talking about; it's Sweden.
France is no better off where Muslim immigrants rape 24,000 French women on average and gang rape 7,000 females in France on a yearly basis.
Only Lesotho, a small country in south Africa, has more reported rapes than Sweden.
1. Lesotho: 91.6
2. Sweden: 53.2
4. Zimbabwe: 25.6
5. Norway: 19.8
6. Israel: 17.6With that in mind, the Dutch have given up on multiculturalism –
The Dutch government says it will abandon the long-standing model of multiculturalism that has encouraged Muslim immigrants to create a parallel society within the Netherlands.
A new integration bill (covering letter and 15-page action plan), which Dutch Interior Minister Piet Hein Donner presented to parliament on June 16, reads: "The government shares the social dissatisfaction over the multicultural society model and plans to shift priority to the values of the Dutch people. In the new integration system, the values of the Dutch society play a central role. With this change, the government steps away from the model of a multicultural society."
About time….
Hopefully some other countries in the E.U will follow suit -

February 12th, 2013 at 9:29 amSo, one of the FBI's former top experts on Islam says that Obama's pick to head the CIA is a Muslim – converted to Islam years ago.
One of the FBI's former top experts on Islam has announced that President Obama's pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, converted to Islam years ago in Saudi Arabia.
As WND has reported, former FBI Islam expert John Guandolo has long warned that the federal government is being infiltrated by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood. But Guandolo now warns that by appointing Brennan to CIA director, Obama has not only chosen a man "naïve" to these infiltrations, but also picked a candidate who is himself a Muslim.
"Mr. Brennan did convert to Islam when he served in an official capacity on the behalf of the United States in Saudi Arabia," Guandolo told interviewer and radio host Tom Trento.
"That fact alone is not what is most disturbing," Guandolo continued. "His conversion to Islam was the culmination of a counterintelligence operation against him to recruit him. The fact that foreign intelligence service operatives recruited Mr. Brennan when he was in a very sensitive and senior U.S. government position in a foreign country means that he either a traitor … [or] he has the inability to discern and understand how to walk in those kinds of environments, which makes him completely unfit to the be the director of Central Intelligence."
See the interview with Guandolo in which he makes these claims –
Brennan admits it himself in a video, in which he goes on to make a speech in Arabic.
Anyone else think it's a bad idea for Obama to be stocking his top positions with people like Brennen and Hagel?

UK's Sun might scrap topless pics
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, whose Sun has featured a large picture of a bare-breasted model on page three since 1970, has indicated that it may be time for a change in tack.
In response to a tweet saying: "Seriously, we are all so over page 3 – it is so last century!", the 81-year-old Australian replied: "You maybe right, don't know but considering. Perhaps halfway house with glamorous fashionistas."
The "No More Page Three" campaign sent an open letter signed by more than 50 members of parliament to Dominic Mohan, editor of the Sun, which is part of News Corp's British newspaper division News International.
"We want to live in a society where the most widely-read newspaper is one that respects women," read the letter, posted on the campaign's website.
"Instead, the Sun publishes Page 3, which reduces women to objects. It reduces men to objectifiers. And it reduces this country to one that upholds 1970s sexist values. We're better than this."

She must have been a diabetic drinking that much sugar. Just undiagnosed, since she "was scared of doctors". Too right, they probably all gave her a bollocking for her diet.

The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test Ban Treaty Organization detected the seismic event at 11.57am Korean time (NZT 3.57pm).
The Vienna-based CTBTO said on Twitter that ''our analysts are currently studying data'' and indicated the event had ''clear explosion-like characteristics''.
The South Korea Defence Ministry has indicated the seismic activity could be from a 6-7 kiloton or stronger nuclear blast.

Oct 2 2012- 96-98kg. I start getting it right with diet and exercise in Oct. Fat burns off quick as. It's a damned miracle.
Start of Nov- 91kg
Start of Dec- 84.5kg
Start of Jan 2013- 80kg
Right now- 78.3kg.
Aha… but past seven days, lowest and highest reading of 76.5kg Feb 8 and 84.4kg Feb 6 respectively….I think of myself as a bloke who was on the line for clinical obesity…. has since lost the weight… and now I'm happy floating around high 70s/ 80kg. That actually pissed me off to the extreme to hear some idiot seriously trying to tell me I'm anorexic and making comments like we'll have to watch you when you go to the bathroom. Really? What a fucktard. He was dead serious.

February 12th, 2013 at 8:00 pmA study conducted by Otago's Department of Psychiatry has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For example: if she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his chest while he is on fire. No further studies are expected.

February 12th, 2013 at 8:13 pmYou have not done those things you ought to have, Dunne
Posted on Tuesday 12 February 2013 by RichardSince August 2011, Peter Dunne has banned 30 synthetic cannabinoids by issuing Temporary Class Drug Notices. These are published in the New Zealand Gazette, "the official newspaper of the Government of New Zealand." Here's an example.
According to 4C(3), since August 2011 Peter Dunne has been satisfied 30 different times that a particular substance poses, or may pose, a risk of harm to individuals, or to society. Well, it's nice to know that someone's getting some satisfaction.
Now, according to 4D(6), "while a temporary class drug notice is in force, the Minister must seek advice, as he or she considers appropriate, under section 5 or 5AA, or both, in relation to the temporary class drug and its appropriate classification, if any (including as a precursor substance, or as a restricted substance as defined in section 31 of the Misuse of Drugs Amendment Act 2005), under this Act." What advice did Peter Dunne consider it appropriate to seek, regarding the 30 substances he's banned? He must have sought it. So what was it?
So far, Peter Dunne has renewed all his Temporary Class Drug Notices issued in 2011, prior to their expiry. Note that, according to 4E(2), this is only for the purpose of allowing sufficient time for the Minister to obtain the advice that is to be sought under section 4D(6). Peter Dunne must be seeking lots of advice. Otherwise, what's taking him so long?

*Refusal to maintain a normal body mass index for their age* Nope
*Fearful of even the slightest weight gain and takes all precautionary measures to avoid weight gain and becoming overweight* Yep.
*Obvious, rapid, dramatic weight loss* Yep, but it's around the same sort of numbers all the time now.
*Obsession with calories and fat content of food* Yep
*Preoccupation with food, recipes, or cooking; may cook elaborate dinners for others, but not eat the food themselves* Yeah actually- I learnt to make biscuits and given most of them away. I had some biscuit mix today though.
*Dieting despite being thin or dangerously underweight* No. What is thin exactly?
*Rituals: cuts food into tiny pieces; refuses to eat around others; hides or discards food* Fuck off
*Purging: uses laxatives, diet pills, ipecac syrup, or water pills; may engage in self-induced vomiting; may run to the bathroom after eating in order to vomit and quickly get rid of the calories[27][28] (see also bulimia nervosa).* WTF??
*May engage in frequent, strenuous exercise* Yep- how the fuck do you increase muscle cell size without it being strenuous?
*Perception of self to be overweight despite being told by others they are too thin and, in most cases, underweight.* Nope- I'm in the best shape of my life and love my body.
*Depression: may frequently be in a sad, lethargic state* I look too good to ever be depressed…. ever.
*Solitude: may avoid friends and family; becomes withdrawn and secretive* I'll avoid them if they're dumbarse dipshits, yeah.
*Cheeks may become swollen because of enlargement of the salivary glands caused by excessive vomiting* Eeer… that would be no.
*Swollen joints* I don't think so- not that I know of.
*Abdominal distension* dis what now?
*Bad breath (from vomiting or starvation-induced ketosis)* I don't vomit if I'm not forced to watch Shortland St
*Hair loss or thinning* I'm 36 ffs- give me a break- sheesh…
*Fatigue* I'm 36 ffs- give me a break. This list is fairly tiring and I need a nap. Actually that has happened…. low blood sugar level. I tried cutting out carbs and my body stopped moving so I gave up that genius idea.
*Rapid mood swings*- Ah fuck off-I've always had those!! Less rapid now if anything.
*Alcoholism* Really? Lots of kj in that shit. Not me!!
*Tendencies to drug addictions* I'm high on life- nope.And the upshot is…..?? I don't know… how long's a piece of string?

It's along the lines of vegans who force their nutty diets onto their kids….even seed & nectar eating birds generally have enough sense to feed their chicks with insects to give them enough protein to grow properly.

February 12th, 2013 at 8:49 pmUmmm….. yeah I've got the continual obcom checking thing… scales just said 77.4kg. ???? That's what I mean… that can't be right. That's a fair bit of water weight to lose in a fairly shortish time. It's not bodyweight weight loss if that makes sense.
You know what…. I'm quite knocked back… I exhibit a few behaviours that are obvious markers of someone with anorexia.
Oh well… goodbye cruel world… you can all kiss my bony shrinking saggy white arse….
It's true I can absolutely well and truly turn the screws on my calorie intake if I want to.

But there may be a hidden dark side to soy, one that has the power to undermine everything it means to be male"
Couple of nut bar vegans I know brought Up their Kids up on soy milk.
Both boys are surprisingly effeminate. -

February 13th, 2013 at 6:38 amAs predicted by this sage our nanny Govt. and its mothers baby helpers are right on target to raise the minimum wage.
The Government is not buying into the idea of a "living wage" BUT, the new Minister of Labour says the minimum wage will continue to increase.
Newly elevated Tauranga MP Simon Bridges said he didn't want to sound "like a typical politician" who hadn't had any advice on the idea of a living wage, but his tentative view was the idea was overly subjective and simplistic and wouldn't be a priority for the Government.
Hmm, so he doesn't want to sound like a typical politican. Well then Simon get the hell out of the Labour market.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10865014Like the union movement he doesn't consider his constituency to be the unemployed or the job seeker. So no reason to care about them.

February 13th, 2013 at 6:48 amDefining Waitangi Day.
Our political leaders all sweep up to the Bledisloe-gifted grounds, far away from most of us.
I suppose they could have some solemn moments there for TV and a few well-chosen words for us all but there isn't. Nothing of much weight or significance is ever said or happens. Except the protests.
The protests are the only bit of news from the day and the only bit that's half interesting.
We have had the wet T-shirt thrown at the Queen, Helen Clark reduced to tears, Don Brash hit with mud and John Key assaulted.
It's these events that mark Waitangi Day rather than a few well-chosen words and some respect for who we are and what we have achieved.
This year we had the public spat about which elderly woman would hold the Prime Minister's hand. It was argued on camera. And resolved on camera. The elderly woman prepared to cause the most trouble won.
On TV Titewhai Harawira appeared selfish, mean and bullying.
Perhaps we should rename the day Titewhai's Day.
After all, that's what it's become.
