Continuing our look at the Mayoral party manifestos, UKIP (or Fresh Choice for London, as they're billing themselves this time around) launched theirs on Thursday. It's a brief document (PDF), but launch speeches from party leader Nigel Farage (pictured, in the UKIP taxi) and Mayoral candidate Lawrence Webb made it very clear that if you're a small or medium business owner who drives, this manifesto is aimed squarely at you.
On transport, UKIP want parking controlled centrally instead of by the boroughs, 20 minutes free parking across London, free Saturday night and all-day Sunday parking and to scrap the congestion charge. Like the Lib Dems they have an idea for a transferable bus ticket, but lasting 70 minutes instead of the Lib Dem hour.
Another policy similar to the Lib Dems, but amped up, is the idea of getting people involved in policing, But where 'Paddick Patrols' would be the "eyes and ears" of the police, UKIP want to encourage Londoners to perform citizen's arrests for crimes like drunkenness, shoplifting, vandalism and – rather dangerously – possession of weapons.
As befits their anti-EU stance, UKIP also believe ending open-door immigration would create more jobs for Londoners, and want to prioritise Londoners (the definition seems to be someone with a 'historical link' to the capital, rather than having a London borough on your birth certificate) for housing and jobs and plan to cap the number of immigrants allowed to settle in London. They also want to reduce VAT on beer and cider to 5%. Currently the Mayor doesn't have the power to do these things, so we asked Lawrence Webb how he planned to achieve them. We'll bring you the answers tomorrow.

What's so good?
By Anu Rana | Apr 18, 2013 | Total plays: 5,816
As a subjective preference, I could do without the introductory vocals, only because the music produces a richer story than the one the lyrics are telling. I'm suddenly brought back to reality, whereas I was previously entranced by the texture alone. Later on though, as the synth beautifully echoes in rhythm with the percussion, the vocals haunt again, and all elements fall into their emotional place.
This remix of "On Fire" is Portrait's own. The original comes from the San Francisco native's debut album, Symphony of Errors, which, according to Portrait's Facebook page, displays the spectrum "of our endless, and often solitary, search for truth in life, love, and relationship."

The Syrian Central bank is pictured in Damascus on May 4, 2011. (AFP PHOTO/LOUAI BESHARA)
BRUSSELS: European Union foreign ministers agreed new sanctions against Syria Monday, targeting its central bank and seven Cabinet ministers to try to curb funding for the government and increase pressure on President Bashar Assad.
The measures, expected to be enforced this week, include prohibiting trade in gold and other precious metals with Syrian state institutions and a ban on cargo flights from Syria operated by the country's carriers.
"Today's decisions will put further pressure on those who are responsible for the ruthless campaign of repression in Syria," the EU's high representative for foreign affairs, Catherine Ashton, said in a statement.
"The measures target the regime and its ability to conduct the appalling violence against civilians. As long as the repression continues, the EU will keep imposing sanctions."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said the sanctions – at least the tenth round imposed by the EU on Syria – were critical for putting pressure on Assad to end violence in which around 6,000 people have been killed over the past 11 months.
But other than sanctions, few concrete steps emerged from Monday's talks, underlying the West's difficulty in finding a solution to the crisis, with efforts to get a U.N. Security Council resolution vetoed by China and Russia.
EU governments renewed international calls on Damascus to allow humanitarian aid into Syria but offered no plan on how to enforce this. France, one of EU's military powers, has suggested that U.N. set up humanitarian corridors in Syria to alleviate civilian suffering. But any such move would have to secure backing from Moscow and Beijing and that remains unlikely.
EU institutions and governments have allocated 8 million euros ($10.7 million) for humanitarian assistance in Syria, but lack of access is hindering the delivery of aid.
EU states also reiterated their support for the Syrian National Council, an opposition umbrella group, but said anti-government activists needed to come up with a unified approach and alleviate concerns about sectarian conflict in the country.
In her statement, the EU foreign affairs chief referred to the SNC as "an important interlocutor" rather than as the EU's sole point of contact with Syrian groups arrayed against Assad. That contrasts with last year's recognition of Libya's rebel council as that country's legitimate representative.
Western concerns at the divisions among the Syrian opposition are complicating efforts to lend support to them and adding to worries that the Syrian conflict could further inflame sectarian tensions throughout the Middle East.
"We've talked to a number of different groups in Syria and we've been saying to them: 'come together and try to form a group together to be able to represent as many people as possible'" Ashton said.
"Inclusivity would enable everyone to feel they have a future. We want to see a united opposition, that's so important, if they are going to be able to reach out to all the people."
EU governments have steadily ratcheted up sanctions against Syria over the past six months, but have been careful to take the lead from Arab states in their approach.
Monday's decision complements an oil embargo imposed in September, and extends the list of people targeted. More than a hundred Syrians, including Assad, already face asset freezes and visa bans.
European firms are also banned from doing business with nearly 40 Syrian companies and institutions, some of them large businesses involved in trading and exploring for oil.
Western sanctions are taking a toll on the Syrian economy and powering discontent among the middle classes, from which Assad draws much of his support.
Oil sanctions have damaged a vital source of hard-currency income – EU states used to buy some 90 percent of oil exports, and the Syrian pound has hit record lows against the dollar on the black market.

2. The only legitimate way to get remuneration is to install on your computer the software (i.e. program, application, etc.) which is covered by the Program and is available through the Site and/or to invite your friends to do so. The Owner will pay for each single installation, i.e. an installation of the software together with all add-ons installed by default during installation process. The Owner will not pay for subsequent installation of the same software or for incomplete installation, i.e. installation which does not include add-ons for which we pay remuneration.
3. Payments from the Owner are made through PayPal and/or Skrill roughly once per month.

EVERY scientist should be familiar with N-rays, discovered in 1903 by the French physicist René Blondlot. These had properties the science of the day couldn't explain, and the physics community's excited speculation won many adherents to Blondlot's claims. These faded quickly when the American physicist Robert Wood visited Blondlot's lab and showed that recording of the N-rays was not the slightest bit changed when he surreptitiously removed what was supposed to be a crucial component of the apparatus.

Picture gallery: Images of new signing Helenius at Bodymoor Heath
Check out a picture gallery of Helnius on his first day at Villa.
Helenius followed in the footsteps of fellow summer signings Aleksandar Tonev, Jores Okore and Leandro Bacuna by agreeing to join the claret and blues.
The 6ft 5in striker completed a medical before putting pen to paper on a three-year deal.
Shortly after his transfer was rubber-stamped, Helenius posed for photos and sat down for an interview with the club's in-house TV channel AVTV.
The 22-year-old was able to don the club's colours for the first time, wearing both the brand new home shirt and the new Macron training top for 2013-14.
Club photographer Neville Williams was first on the scene to snap Helenius in his new surroundings.

Up until now Michelle Obama has been pretty tight-lipped about what she will wear to her husband Obama's inauguration today but as everyone now knows she chose a sparkling yellow Isabel Toledo outfit for the swearing-in ceremony.
The Toledo dress is slightly similar to the Diane Von Furstenburg sketch drawn up for the ceremony but what she will wear to the ball remains to be seen. The attorney could well go for a dress by one of her favorite designers Maria Cornejo but I'm sure she will have her pick of the frocks! See after the jump for the Christian Lacroix and Carolina Herrera sketches and stay tuned to find out what she ends up choosing!

Replying to: Samsung - Same phone, different shell... by SB2002
There's more than you can see..
Just because you don't see it, that doesn't mean Samsung is not producing new interesting phones. In Korea, they aleady have TV phones in the market, they also have phone that can do banking, etc. Samsung is becoming more careful about showing off new phones at the shows because companies like Nokia and Motorola plus other Asian companies have been copying Samsung phones lately.^^ Plus, there's no point of showing off new phones unless carriers can acutally adopt them. But I have to admit that Moto's getting very creative and have been coming out with very good phones lately.

Recipe by BobBlum
"A delightful hearty corned beef stew; complex flavors from the corned beef spice packet and addition of vinegar. It makes a wonderful leftover."

1/3 cup
all-purpose flour
1 (3 pound)
corned beef brisket (with spice packet), excess fat trimmed and meat cut into 1-inch cubes
1/3 cup
olive oil
1 1/2 pounds
red potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups
peeled and cubed parsnips
2 cups
peeled and cubed carrots
1 extra large
onion, cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle
Irish stout beer
1 (10.5 ounce) can
beef broth
1 head
cabbage, cored and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup
distilled white vinegar
I haven't tried this as of yet, but I know it will be wonderful I can smell it cooking already. Thanks for the recipe..
Stew is always a 'whatever I have' mosh pot in my kitchen. With that said I am rating this with a few substitutes but really do not think it changes the outcome except for minor personal tastes. I used raw apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar, regular beer, no parsnips and added peas at the end. Absolutely loved it, had a reminisce flavor of sauerkraut which goes hand-in-hand with corned beef.
6 Ratings
Wonderful recipe! It was a huge hit. I added 6 garlic cloves, 1 TBS pickling spice & homemade beef broth.
I made this for our St. Patrick's Day Sunday dinner. We had our Mexican friends over and they loved it! Even my daughter, who didn't think she'd like it ate a bowl. I didn't really make any changes to this at all, just made it as is. I made a loaf of soda bread and had a bowl of fresh strawberries and grapes and dinner was a huge hit with young and old alike! The 7-year old Mexican boy proclaimed we were all leprechauns now!
I thought this was delish. I saved it and will make it again.

There was some thought that this year the jig would be up for the farm bill. There were multiple efforts in the various "grand bargain" bills to factor out direct subsidies to farmers, and that was thought to be a done deal. And that's mostly the case, the subsidies get replaced this year by a crop insurance piece, to compensate farmers in low-yield years. But in the apparently bipartisan zeal – the Senate farm bill is the product of both Republican Pat Roberts and Democrat Debbie Stabenow – to cut more out of the farm bill, to save a relatively paltry $24 billion over ten years, another source of money has been attacked – food stamps.
The Senate farm bill tightens enforcement measures to prevent waste and errors in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Under a separate provision, it also cuts $4.5 billion in food assistance to families that receive heating aid. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the latter will reduce benefits for about [500,000]* by an average of $90 a month.
The changes are meant to appease Republican concerns about food stamp abuse and waste, while also giving Democrats more flexibility on farm subsidies, the other major focus of the farm bill.
Just how prevalent are food stamp abuse and waste? In 2010, SNAP's payment accuracy rate averaged 96.2 percent nationwide. That's an all-time high for the program and includes both under- and overpayment. The error rate drops below 3 percent for overpayment alone.
So the Senate wants to cut back food stamps for those who get heating assistance – because we can't just heat a poor person's home AND make sure they don't starve – as well as address an almost non-existent error rate. CBO couldn't even score the savings on abuse because there largely is no abuse.
The idea is to stop anyone who receives $1 in energy assistance to qualify for food aid. I don't know why the assumption is that there's a universe of the poor that can afford food but not heat for their homes in the winter, but there we are. This is $4.5 billion directly out of the mouths of the poorest citizens in the country, at a time when the tax rate for the top 1% is at the lowest level in several decades.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand made an emotional speech to try and restore this funding, through an amendment she has to the farm bill. She would pay for the restoration by reducing the crop insurance funds. Many of the crop insurance companies, who would see a cap on their payouts down to $825 million from $1.3 billion and a reduction in guaranteed profits from 14% to 12%, are based overseas. This is a simple values question. Who do you support, foreign corporations and their corporate welfare, or the desperately poor?
"Under this bill, families in New York that are already struggling will lose about $90 a month for food that goes onto their tables," Gillibrand said. The senator recalled one mother describing how her son would scrounge extra food from school lunches so the family could have something for dinner before they finally qualified for food stamps.
"Ninety dollars a month may not sound like a lot to some people. But I can tell you that if you're a parent who's trying to protect your children and feed them good, wholesome, nutritious food, it means everything in the world," said Gillibrand, noting that in New York state alone, some 300,000 people would lose enough food aid to leave them hungry one week a month.
"I don't know if any parents who're watching today, whether you personally ever heard your child say, 'Mommy, I'm still hungry.' Well, imagine not being able to help your child and feed your child," Gillibrand said. "Imagine that your child says this every single day. That is what we are facing here."
Food stamps have already been cut twice – once for the child nutrition bill – in the past couple years, after a big expansion under the stimulus package. The needs are clear: 45 million Americans used food stamps in 2011. The House bill is even worse than this Senate cutback of $4.5 billion, seeking a whopping $36 billion in savings. So it looks like, one way or the other, the poor will take another punch in the gut during this recession. At least with Gillibrand's amendment, the Senate would start from a higher position when the inevitable compromise measure comes down.

YIELD: Makes about 1 dozen
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a mixing bowl. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until it resembles cornmeal. Add the milk, stirring until the dough just comes together to form a ball.
2. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface. Gently pat the dough down with your hands and fold it over on itself. Pat the dough down and fold it over once or twice more. Loosely cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for a half hour or so.
3. Being careful not to overwork the dough, roll it out until it is 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Cut dough into biscuits using whatever cutter you like. Grandmother used an inverted juice glass, which was really an old preserves jar. For more biscuits, use a smaller glass.
4. Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet and bake until uniformly golden brown, 1014 minutes.

Cynic used in a sentence
How to use Cynic in a sentence as a noun
Inheritance Fever Ideals; So keenly bought, And easily worn, In youth, Are hard to sell. In the end, It's simply best to pass them on, Like a benign influenza, To the young with minds still open. Just charade the grumpy cynic, And the kids will take them from you, Slipping them on, with relish. Please note: Your responding disdain must be all embellish.

But then they send me away to teach me cynicw to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical.
ACT says New Zealand workers are lazy. Typical of their cynical view of the human race. Labour will back kiwi workers by driving unemployment down to 4%, supporting local businesses through more government procurement, creating high value jobs through the R&D tax credit, and rewarding work with a more sustainable minimum wage.
"So crucify the ego, before it's far too late And leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical And you will come to find that we are all one mind Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable So let the light touch you so that the words spill through And let the past break through bringing out our cynicpe and reason Before we hide away.

To everyone who thought I was cynical or a bit of an cynichole for my views about this...Just saying. It's to the point where someone who wants to donate to a charity or a cause is better off and more productive finding someone affected by this cause and just handing them some money. Between this and things like the March of Dimes, "non-profit" organizations are becoming more of a social tool. Please do some research before following whatever the next charity fad or lazy activist hashtag cause you're going to follow next...

Quote Examples using Cynic
명연설이네. 비록 영화의 한 장면이지만, 마음에서 나오는 외침인듯. 이 영화도 광해도 못 봤지만, 리더십은 자리에서 나오는 게 아님을 생각하게 하는 명연설이다. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.... The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. ..... Soldiers! don't give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: "the Kingdom of God is within man" - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will! Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!"Anonymous
I normally try to stay neutral to most views. People have a right to say what they want, but when people continue to act as if they "art better than thou" in attitude and speechwork, it twings a chord in brain. You might think its a waste of time, and you can think that, and you can say that. But the way some people continue and continue and continue and continue to act like cynical critics on life like its a b+ plus movie that CinemaSins made a parody of, it gets really tiring. Really grating. Really really really annoying. As I said, everyone can have their own opinions and thoughts and can express if they want, but here's my opinion: shut up already. We get you don't like the world as it is. Instead of complaining on the internet like a troll waiting to be fed, you go do something about it. You make a difference. You make change. Start a revolution or sit back. He knows who he is.Anonymous
