2012 was the second-wettest year in Dorset's history
Posted: January 03, 2013|
2012 was the second-wettest year in Dorset since records began in 1910.
Statistics from the Met Office show 1262.4mm of rain fell in Dorset last year - 133 per cent above average.
The only year more rain fell in Dorset was in 1960, when 1357.1mm was recorded.
The data suggests that Dorset and the UK is becoming wetter. Nationally, 2012 was also the second wettest year - only beaten by 1337.3 mm falling in 2000.

Professor Julia Slingo, Chief Scientist at the Met Office said: "The trend towards more extreme rainfall events is one we are seeing around the world, in countries such as India and China, and now potentially here in the UK.
"Much more research is needed to understand more about the causes and potential implications.
"It's essential we look at how this may impact our rainfall patterns going forward over the next decade and beyond, so we can advise on the frequency of extreme weather in the future and the potential for more surface and river flooding."
Flooding has brought chaos to Dorset this year, and it is thought that extreme rain may occur more regularly in the future.
A Met Office spokesperson added: "We have always seen a great deal of variability in UK rainfall because our weather patterns are constantly changing.
"However, preliminary evidence suggests we are getting slightly more rain in total and it may be falling in more intense bursts."

Back 9: Newest Hi-Tech Golf Faze: TwitterWritten by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
Golf has been all about Hi-Tech for many years. Low compression, soft feel, golf balls that explode off of a 460cc, high MOI, WMD with light weight, composite graphite shaft that produces more swing speed, a higher launch angle and less spin for extra carry and distance. Yadda, Yadda, Yadda. The newest and hottest technology, by far, is Twitter and it doesn't even cost a dime, no $499.99 price tag. Even the worst weekend hacker can chat up Hank Haney, Paul Azinger even Rory McIlroy on your home computer or smart phone.
With the explosion of the social media phenomena the newest hi-tech advancement for golf freaks is Twitter. It seems that Twitter connects nearly everyone in the golf world. In fact Ian Poulter and Stewart Cink are in a tight race for the most followers or Tweeps. Poulter has 1,210,038 but Stewie Cink is currently the leader in the clubhouse, however, with 1,210,205 followers. That's right I didn't stutter, they have over 1 million followers, each. And you thought you were the only crazy golf nut out there.
Twitter offers anything from swing tip advice from Hank Haney to up to the minute news flashes from Tiger Woods. That's right "The" Tiger Woods. He announces everything via his website and twitter. You can get up to the second news that ESPN, the Golf Channel, or other sports news media receive about tournament scoring, updates or even Eldrick, himself. Follow the LPGA, PGA, Ladies and Mens European Tour, or Golf Channel announcers such as, Brandel Chamblee, Frank Nobilo, and Rich Lerner for golf news and analysis. It's inter-active, you can even chat them up, in 140 characters or less.
If you like to talk about golf 24/7/365 and are looking for others to chat with, Twitter is for you. There is always someone on Twitter that will chat, argue, or discuss any golf topic that meets your fancy. Enhance your viewing pleasure by twittering with other golf fanatics while watching golf on TV. Make fun of the announcers, share the joy of an amazing golf shot just pulled off by one of the professionals, or ruminate over the 13 shots that John Daly just took on the par 4.
If you decide to join golf's newest hi-tech phenomenon, jump on Twitter, follow me, and give me a shout out @tolohgolfr. I'll be there. I'm hooked.

Random Thought... Wait, What's Today?
Thank goodness it's Thursday and not Tuesday. I am so ready for this week to be over.
It's amazing how when I don't blog my stats go down. You don't want to come to my blog and read all of the nothing I've been posting? Weird!
My loverly sister and my cute company pomegranate&pink is going to be at a huge boutique Thanksgiving weekend, in Spanish Fork. I'm so excited that we got accepted! But you should all mark it on your calendars right now so you can make it. Okay? Thanks for your support. :) And I've been attempting to craft my eyes out so I can have all sorts of cute things for it, like the most amazing magnet sets you'll ever see. Seriously.
I feel like someone stabbed me in between my pelvis and my hip. It's pretty painful and really uncomfortable and I would like to know who in their right mind sneaks into people's houses at night and stabs them in their sleep with some sort of special magic knife that leaves no detectable stab wounds on the surface, just incredible pain.
Hobby Lobby just opened, 15 minutes from my house. That's closer than the next closest one by 45 minutes. WOOT! It's ridiculously large and I spent 45 minutes there just wandering the aisles. I could spend thousands of dollars there. The other craft stores in the area are in trouble.
I should have bought magnets while I was there but totally forgot. But I did come home with some felt sheets, a white boa, scrapbook paper, mini cupcake liners and some amazingly cute hot pink and black zebra flowers. It was a good trip.
I am not lying when I tell you this, and I'm going back today to see if it's still there so that I can take a picture for all you non-believers (Husband!), but yesterday I saw a car on the back of a tow truck, and that tow truck was on the back of another tow truck, and that tow truck was on the back of another tow truck. It was INCREDIBLE! So much redneck glory all in one car-dog pile.

You can get lost in Hobby Lobby!ReplyDelete
You think 15 minutes is bad!? It's only like 5 from my house. I'm staying far, far away from that place.ReplyDelete
That is exciting about the craft fair. I will have to do my best to try and make it down there. I don't go down to them parts much. (Insert hick accent here)ReplyDelete
U better do something about that pain.
Might have to check out that boutique if I am around, sounds like fun!ReplyDelete
Never been to a Hobby Lobby and pretty sure that's a good thing. I get in trouble @ Roberts and Michaels spending to much money LOL
Hope your pain goes away soon.. thats no fun!
And yes, I have the same problem too..I take a day or two of not blogging and I swear everyone disappears LOL
i love hobby lobby...but it is not close enough. i could shop for hours.ReplyDelete
My dads a nerd! We have went to the sand dunes like 3 times this year. We just take our ranger and go like .03 miles an hour up hills. We laugh our asses off which makes it like 10 times funner. He really likes you guys though. How are things going? If you still have my cell phone number can you text me your home address? (I also just need your number because I have a new phone and I lost all of the numbers out of my old one.) Love your guts hope to hear from you soon.ReplyDelete

The investigation into a fatal shooting of two suspects by a pair of Anderson County deputies is closed, and both the TBI and the District Attorney General's Office have determined that the officers acted appropriately and should be commended for their actions.
The outside investigation was requested by Anderson County Sheriff Paul White after the shooting, which happened on February 29.
In a press release, District Attorney General Dave Clark outlined the findings of the TBI investigation, which revealed new details about that day, including the fact that the suspects were under the influence of a drug called "bath salts," which is "sometimes associated with irrational and even violent behavior."
The two suspects, Michael Joseph Baker and Shanna Lee Richardson, of Indiana, were driving a stolen pickup truck and were suspected of stealing gas that morning in Lake City.
After the gas drive-off, they somehow ran the truck off the road and into a ditch. An Anderson County man stopped to help them, and because of their behavior, he called police and described the vehicle.
Shortly afterwards, Deputy Jonathan "Adam" Bryant spotted the suspect vehicle on Raccoon Valley Road, and began a high-speed pursuit when the driver, Baker, wouldn't pull over. The investigation found that items were thrown from the truck during the pursuit, and the suspects fired a gun at Bryant.
Eventually, the truck grazed a power pole, causing the tire to go flat. The driver pulled into a gravel lot near the Claxton Volunteer Fire Department on Old Emory Road.
At that time, an off-duty deputy who has since been promoted to Corporal, James Daniel "J.D." Powell, arrived on the scene. He had been in the area and was monitoring the pursuit on the radio, and came to assist.
Richardson, who was in the passenger seat, began firing at the deputies through the back window of the truck. They fired back until she stopped shooting at them. Then Baker, who was crouching down outside the driver's door of the truck, started running. He was armed and refused to stop, so the deputies fired and incapacitated him.
After the gunfire stopped, Richardson was found dead in the cab of the truck. Baker was treated at the scene and taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Two gunshot holes were found in Bryant's patrol car.
An empty .22 caliber pistol was found two feet away from Baker's hand after he fell. Inside the truck, officers found a 12 gauge pump shotgun and 34 rounds shotgun ammunition, along with 58 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition. There was also a spoon with residue which tested positive for the illegal drug commonly found in products marketed as "bath salts."
Autopsy results show that Richardson has consumed marijuana and "bath salts." She was struck six times by bullets. Baker had "bath salts" and clonazepam and his blood stream. He was shot twice. The autopsy did indicate that one bullet could have caused more than one entrance and exit wound.
The investigators spoke with both deputies along with several civilian witnesses to the shootout. They also examined the physical evidence at the scene.
After reading the investigative file and results, General Clark has determined that "Baker and Richardson demonstrated indifference to police authority and disregard for the safety of other citizens," and the fact that they fired a gun at deputies and would not yield to their commands to stop, that "the deputies had little choice but to employ the use of deadly force."
General Clark has closed the investigation, also saying that "Deputy Bryant, in particular, who was the primary officer involved, should be commended in the manner of his tactical performance at the scene. It is also commendable that even though he was off-duty, Corporal Powell recognized that a nearby deputy might need aid and was willing to come to his aid."

Doesn't the headline say Monroe advanced and the article that EB did?
hey noneedtoenter: you can't have it both ways. You all caused these anti-harrassment laws and policies by whining that your little babies were voted off their lunch tables. Schools no longer have discretion. Not one ounce. They didnt create the laws.
Here's how it works grympy. Whenever you are in a situation that could wind up in court, you say nothing. Only a moron would make a public statement. That's the world we live in. So if it's a choice between satisfying your curiosity and losing millions of taxpayers dollars in court, I'd rather leave you hanging.
Mr. Moran never once mentioned the President. Why are you? The colum is about in incredibly insensitive remark about good middle class people losing their homes and being called "couch potatoes."
Wanting to know anything more than the fact that a school leader had a DUI is gratuitous busybodyness and pretty pathetic. As far as the district making a public statement, I'd rather have a couple of knuckleheads on NJ.COM get indignant about their "right to know" than publish a statement that an attorney didn't take great care to craft. One falkse statement could cost the taxpayers millions. Yet, some of you would believe your morbid curiousity should take precedent over liability to the district. In this litigious age it's commen sense and you all know better.
@"ChristieRocks" - so just to be clear (I want your "hating-for-the-sake-of-hating" on the record), if there are 50 states in the U.S. and NJ ranks in the top three (or higher depending on the category), you are saying that's nothing to be proud of? Even Mr. Christie would say that's hard to swallow. Mr. Christie points to the urban schools that need fixing and that's legitimate. To play down the ranking though of NJ as the elite public education systems in the nationa seems kind of ignorant - I mean, is there any other way to describe it? Oh, and by the way, NJ competes globally in math as well. Face it, you simply live in a really great state when it comes to educating children. Accept it. The rest of the world has.
first of all it's "wazoo" and secondly you should be happy to know that teachers have had a wage freeze for at least two years now and will be paying nearly $10,000 a year for benefits soon despite a contract to receive benefits. In effect, your teacher example at $78,000 is likely to stay there for many years to come. And why shouldn't teachers earn a good salary? They have a very important job and do it better than any other state in the U.S. The way educators have been painted in NJ it's a wonder anyone would sign up to be a teacher. Just when education was finally getting the top third of graduates from college to be educators, these reforms will put us back to recruiting only the bottom third. But that's okay because the rich have access to private schools. Education has been a great equalizer but when the compensation of teachers falls to a point where you would have to be a saidst to be a teacher, you will get what you asked for. Rich kids with great educations and opportunities and everyone less than rich will be taught by a less than average pool of talent. It amazes me that middle class people would sit back and let the current amdinistration's policies create this elite class that will exclude you and your children and grandchildren. I would love to hear form someone why they want to be stepped on and pushed down by people who may have swindled their way or been born into being the top 1% of the wealthy class. What's wrong with you people. You are being set up and so are your children.
It is incredibly difficult to rank schools but I think your methodology makes good sense. Advanced proficient is an excellent indicator of maxing out the brightest students. If you're a wealthy district with a low advanced proficient rating then the advantages that go with wealth such as private tutors are not translating into performance and then the school may not be performing as well as it could. I think this study may be more valid and useful than NJ Monthly. Unfortunately, its editors have commented here on the board.
@ Hartnellshairless regarding those who can, doing. . . Just exactly where are all these people who "Can" do things in America? The world is better at just about everything private sector Americans do. Except industries where lobbyists and politicians allow them to fleece the middle class such as banking and health care. What do you do Hartnell? What are you all puffed up about?
cbmax, regarding your outside of NJ education that you're so thankful for not getting: based on hard test data, only two other states out of 50 in this ocuntry could have educated you better than NJ. So if you suggest that public school teachers in NJ are not exceptional then you are just being ignorant.
John, thanks for the softball info on a rainy day with no games. Are you planning strike out leaders, RBI, avg. for the county?
The reason open yr eyes mentions the governor is because he makes such a spectacle of controlling how tax funds are used. RU is state funded, this event was therefore funded by taxpayers and that is a questionable expense. I am not a teacher and I can't say whether open yr eyes is. I must admit, it's a stretch to blame it on Christie but I can see the connection if you're a Christie detractor (which I am - full disclosure). More disturbing is the fact that Snooki is compensated for being what she represents. It's a sad commentary on the decline of the U.S. culture. We keep giving the people the crap they want so we can have them scrape out a measely salary and pay their bank bailouts. We talk about U.S. obesity but there's also an intellectual lethargy and lack of mind nutrition that is just as devastating to the long-term health of our culture.
JD - Consolidate Bayonne, Jersey City and Hoboken? Really? Please run this stuff by someone with half a clue before you post.
koaj - each state funds schools differently. You may be surprised to learn that New Jersey spends less on schools than any other state in the US. That's why your property taxes are so high. The state doesn't fund the schools enough; its all passed on to the local tax base. It's an important distinction because in these tough times many people are hurting so bad they'd rather have someone to blame.

She said that another teacher did not lose her job even after using the "N" word. Ploshnick did not use it in the context of a slur. She expressed her opinion that she felt a teacher should have been fired for using that word. I tend to agree but I do not know all the facts so I would leave it at that until I did. I think the point is that even with the complete and malicious intent (on the part of the fake reporters) they still demonstrated that you cannot condemn and entire group of people for how something may appear. This episode should be a moment of recognition for the Governor. If hew must pursue his agenda he should do so assuming more than the worst of people. That's how to achieve productive resolution. How can demoralizing an entire segment of the population who shape the lives of 80 - 90% of the youth population be a good idea? The Ploshnick story is a perfect example and it's by mere coincidence that the "poster child" of NJEA tenure abuses turns out to be a person who has devoted her whole life to children and even laid this life on the line. Nothing good can come of blind hate. And when you couple blind hate with blind ambition chances are only bad things can happen.
You said it! Well said.
It is projected to save a grand total of 10 Million Dollars. I guess that's a start. He owes NJ another 390 million dollars for not handing in his Grant App homework correctly.
Mama, please name one other half billion dollar screw up. Mistakes like this DO NOT HAPPEN every day. They almost never happen. The only other hundreds of million dollar "mistakes" that I can think of are by the banks who make them on purpose to steal hard working americans retirement investments. This half billion dollar gaff is what happens when you are more focused on harming a group than getting the application right. I think it is safe to say that Christie can no longer say he is driven by reducing property taxes. He lost 400 million and is refusing to sign his name to another 268 million offer from the federal government. he wants to harm public education. period. Only a fool would argue otherwise. 668 million dollars Christie is costing NJ on top of the 860 million he cut from school funding last year. And how about the 250,000 he flushed down the toilet by hiring a loser oversight consultant to make sure "an everyday error" wouldn't cost us. You can't get any more incompetent than every decision and action Christie has made in the name of public education reform. HE hired the incompetent Schundler he needed to fire. He hired the oversight consultants who missed the error that cost a half billion dollars. I am shocked that anyone in this State could defend this incompetent loser. He has done everything wrong. He is driven by vendetta, not vision. Why dismantle the second best public education system in the Nation? This man is sick. And anyone who doesn't see how warped he is is even sicker.
What do you mean get something done, DJ. NJ Public educators are ranked in the top three States in the country. Check NAEP, the only data source for national ranking. Why would you rebuild something from the ground up when it is one of the best in the country? Or have you just bought into the negative propaganda? Someone says something hateful loudly enough you'll buy into it, huh? I know people like you. They are all miserable, negative people who try to build themselves back up by hating on someone else.

Not They Shall Not Pass. This group ain't the Spartans, that's for sure. These guys CANNOT pass.
People can talk about shooting all night long, but when you're passing the ball out of bounds, or to the other guys every other possession then you're going to have to shoot twice as well to make up for it.
Not to mention the momentum-killing effect such dunderheaded passes have.
It is impossible to be a good team and pass the ball poorly. But if you can pass the ball well (see Chicago tonight) you can be a weak offensive team without your All-Star PG and still play well.
And if you have really good players you can be the Spurs, old as they are.
There's probably no more valid indicator of basketball IQ than passing skill. It literally demands anticipation, vision, hand/eye dexterity, timing, deception, execution, and good old-fashioned quckness of wit.
So to me it's no coincidence that the second unit frequently plays better/smarter than the first team, especially when Sullinger is with them. Pressey, Olynyk, Humphries and Wallace are alll better passers and see the floor better than the guy they come in for.
Jeff Green apparently thinks that his idea of the required speed and crispness of a pass, which is to say 3/4 speed and casual, is the NBA norm, and he seems forever surprised when such passes become turnovers. Tonight he couldn't extend himself to even catch two wing passes that became turnovers.
Brandon Bass really cannot make a pass under even token pressure, nor see nearly any play developing ahead of time.
Avery Bradley appears congenitally unable to make even basic, sensible plays by passing the ball, to wit, Maxwell tonight noted the same thing, saying, "And you just saw an Avery Bradley assist."
Of the starters that leaves Crawford and the aforementioned Sullinger. Sullinger is a good, potentially great passer.
Crawford can occasionally make a great pass, but mostly the ball sticks to him even when he's trying to pass it. There's a deadly lag in time between when the ball needs to get out of his hands and when it actually does. Sometimes he adds a quarter body turn and then passes across himself; sometimes he loses a quarter tic turning the ball over on his high dribble; most times it's just slow except when he makes the occasional quick strike. He gets 5-6 assists a night, but he's not a clean ball-mover. There's a noticeable difference between the way ball moves when Pressey's at the point.
So maybe the whole starters/bench equation should be reworked to put at least 3 passers on the floor instead of 3 "scorers?"
And who's the guy teaching Green, Lee, and, especially, Bradley to pass one-handed?

Zimbabwe: Why Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC 'lost' the election
[Click HERE for more on Zimbabwe.]
By Munyaradzi Gwisai
August 6, 2013 -- For a good part of his 33 years in power, Robert Mugabe has presided over a ruthless dictatorship. From the thousands killed in the 1980s Gukurahundi massacres and misery for millions under ESAP [structural adjustment plan], Operation Murambatsvina and hyper-inflation of 2008.
Yet in the July 31 general election, endorsed by Southern African Development Community and African Union, the 89-year -old ruler annihilated the hitherto iconic working-class leader Morgan Tsvangirai and his Movement for Democratic Change (MDC-T), who beat him in March 2008.
Mugabe got 61% to Tsvangirai's 34%. The Zimbabwe African National Union-Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) won a 76% parliamentary majority, enough to re-write the new constitution and doing better than it did in 1980.
What happened?

1. Despite the boasting of the "Yes" group that at 93% or 3,079,966 votes they scored a landslide victory [in the March 16-17, 2013, constitution referendum], the 5.4% or 179,489 scored by "No" is a very significant minority. In most urban areas the no vote was over 7% of the vote, scoring more than 1000 votes in constituencies. The voter turn-out, at 3.3 million or 55% of registered voters or slightly less than 50% if one considers all eligible voters, was not overwhelming.
2. Although we had aimed for a better performance, the 5.4% of the no vote is still commendable for several reasons, including that the referendum was not free and fair:

March 2013 -- The people of Zimbabwe go to the polls on March 16, 2013, to endorse or reject a draft constitution. The latest edition of the International Socialist Organisation Zimbabwe's (ISOZ) newspaper, Socialist Worker, is almost entirely devoted to arguments against adoption of what it describes as a deeply flawed "elitist peace pact by the three parliamentary political parties (ZANU-PF, MDC-T, MDC) and their Western backers".
"The people have demanded a constitution written by themselves in a democratic, participatory and gender-youth-disability balanced way. A constitution that ends the imperial executive presidency and guarantees democratic and accountable political governance and bread and butter socio economic rights", said ISOZ leader Munyaradzi Gwisai. "But in an era where 85-year-old Pope Benedict XVI resigns citing advanced age, the draft allows an 89-year-old President Robert Mugabe to potentially rule for another 10 years, until he is 99! It (also) fails to address fundamental issues of severe poverty, gender and social inequality, economic democratisation and full political democracy."

Zimbabwe: Corporate collaboration lets Mugabe continue abuses
Corporate cash continues to feed Mugabe's rule.
Patrick Bond, Zimbabwe
August 15, 2012 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- Zimbabwe's political-economic crisis continues because dislodging decades of malgovernance has not been achieved by the Government of National Unity that began in early 2009, civil society activism or international pressure, including this week's Maputo summit of the main body charged with sorting out democratisation, the Southern African Development Community (SADC). With a new draft constitution nearly ready for a referendum vote, followed by presidential and parliamentary elections by next April, the period immediately ahead is critical.
Many examples of chaos appeared over the last week (much of which I spent in a rural area northwest of the capital of Harare). On Monday, for example, 44 activists were arrested in the Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe office at a project launching documentation of the repeated violations of their human rights. Though released, it reminded the society of the power of dictatorship mixed with homophobic social values.
The contradictions of Ronnie Kasrils: The leftist spy who came in from cold Pretoria
Ronnie Kasrils speaks out against Israel's apartheid policies, March 5, 2009.
By Patrick Bond, Durban
March 26, 2012 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- 'I don't have the stomach or the taste to serve any more at this level,' said the normally ebullient minister of intelligence Ronnie Kasrils, as he quit after 14 years of service to the South African government. It was late September 2008, just after Thabo Mbeki was replaced in palace coup.
Kasrils' intelligence service was by then an international laughing stock, with spy-versus-spy intrigue spilling out wide across the political landscape. His own troops were locked in unending, ungovernable, internecine battles against each other's factions, using hoax emails, other disinformation and extraordinary political contortions unknown in even the ugliest Stalinist traditions of the African National Congress (ANC). Recall that Mbeki's police chief Jackie Selebi was also the head of Interpol, and to have the mafia penetrate such high levels made South African security farcical at best.
International solidarity helps keep the 'Zimbabwe 6' out of jail
Johannesburg protest in support of the "Zimbabwe 6", March 20, 2012.
By Lisa Macdonald
March 22, 2012 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal/Green Left Weekly -- Six Zimbabwean activists who were convicted for watching a video of the Arab Spring in February 2011 won a partial victory on March 21 when they were given suspended jail sentences of two years, ordered to each do 420 hours of community service and pay a fine of US$500 each.
The six activists were convicted in the Harare Magistrates Court on March 19 of trumped-up charges of "conspiracy to commit public violence". They had faced up to 10 years' imprisonment, a sentence demanded by the state prosecutor, Edmore Nyazamba.

STOP PRESS: March 21, 2012 -- The final verdict is two years' jail, suspended for five years (on condition that no similar "offence" is committed), 420 hours of community service (about six weeks Mon.-Fri.) and an US$500 fine each. The sentence is designed to be a chain on their ankles, but clearly the state does not feel confident to smash them. That is certainly a victory for the mass showings at the courts in Harare, and the international solidarity campaign that included the sending of protests messages from around the world and the holding of pickets and demonstrations. Viva, viva comrades there for resisting the intimidation, and also for the many forms of international solidarity. Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal would like to thank its many readers for their participation in the campaign.

Letter from Zimbabwe: Court dismisses acquittal application by the '6 Egyptians'
Action is support of the charged Zimbabwean activists, Fremantle, Western Australia. Six Zimbabwean socialists are charged with "inciting public violence" (which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment). Munyaradzi Gwisai, director of the Labor Law Centre, Tafadzwa Choto and Tatenda Mombeyarara, trade unionist Edison Chakuma, debt rights activist Hopewell Gumbo and student leader Welcome Zimuto were arrested on February 19 while meeting to watch video footage of democracy protests in Egypt and Tunisia (David Mpatsi, one of the 45 activists originally charged with treason for attending the film screening, died following a rapid deterioration in his health while he was imprisoned and denied medical treatment). The following letter explains the latest developments. For more background to the case, click HERE.
February 16, 2012 -- Yesterday Magistrate Kudakwashe Jarabini dismissed the defendants' application for the discharge of charges of conspiring to commit public violence. Their lawyer, Alex Muchadehama had applied for discharge at the close of the state's case on the basis that the state had failed to produce sufficient evidence to require the defendants to put up a defence.
Zimbabwe: Petition to drop false charges against political activists

For more detail on the case, see http://links.org.au/taxonomy/term/171. You can download a postcard version to send direct to Zimbabwe HERE.
International solidarity activities in February and March condemning the arrests were an important contribution to having the original charges of "treason" dropped and the comrades released on bail. But the campaign isn't over and the comrades are asking for any solidarity that can be extended to them on or before August 22.

Zimbabwe socialists facing treason charges call for solidarity! Trial now August 22, 2011
Action in solidarity with the Zimbabwe socialists, July 18, 2011.
By the National Coordinating Committee, International Socialist Organisation Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe: Treason charges dropped, but trial to go on
June 7, 2011 -- The Zimbabwean state has dropped the most serious charges against six activists who faced the death penalty for treason. (Click here for background articles.) They now face the lesser charge of "subverting a constitutional government"—but this still carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. Their trial begins on 18 July.
Their bail conditions have also been relaxed—they have to report to the police once a month instead of three times a week.
The six, including former MP Munyaradzi Gwisai, were among more than 40 people arrested on February 19 for watching a video about the revolutions in Egypt and Tunisia.
Keep up the international pressure and solidarity to get all of the charges dropped.
(Updated March 19) Zimbabwe: Prisoners released on bail! International day of solidarity with political prisoners on March 21
Prisoners now released on bail! March 21 demonstrations remain urgent
March 18, 2011 -- Solidarity with Zimbabwean Political prisoners -- Thanks in part to donations from supporters abroad, friends and family raised the $12,000 US needed to get the six prisoners released on bail on March 17. They are now back with their loved ones -- but will be in court on March 21, standing trial for treason.
The international day of action in solidarity with the Zimbabwean activists remains as urgent as ever. Now the demand is even simpler: Drop all charges now!
Updates on Twitter from Shantha Bloeman -- wife of Munyaradzi Gwasai, one of the prisoners -- give supporters outside Zimbabwe a glimpse of this week's developments from the inside. A few entries:

The 'mubaraking' of Gaddafi, Maliki, Mugabe and others
By Patrick Bond
February 27, 2011 – Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- The late South African anti-apartheid poet-activist Dennis Brutus occasionally used "Seattle", the name of a city in the northwestern United States, as a verb. We should "seattle Copenhagen", he said in late 2009, to prevent the global North from doing a climate deal in their interests, against Africa's.
(Updated March 4) Zimbabwe: Socialists and Egypt solidarity activists charged with treason! Protest urgently needed!
46 arrested activists charged with treason, tortured
February 25, 2011 -- It has now been confirmed that detained labour movement activist and leading member of the International Socialist Organization Zimbabwe Munyaradzi Gwisai (pictured) and 45 other activists detained by the Zimbabwe state on February 19 have been charged with treason. If found guilty of treason, the activists risk a sentence of death or life imprisonment. They are being tortured to extract bogus confessions. The arrests followed a raid on a closed meeting that was discussing the implications of the revolutions in the Arab world. Gwisai is director of the Labor Law Centre and former Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) MP.

Stop working on the rest of your skills and only work the blocking drills?
Your Coach would love that.
Hey battle -
Without research, the only one that comes to mind is the Cowboys, with Jason Garrett filling the same roles as Coach Shurmur did.
Very glad that was addressed, as the huge load really took away from his strengths and caused some obvious problems last year.
Thanks, again, John.
It will be great to have more interaction with the staff. Much appreciated.
Yes, I mistakenly left the "s" out of "misconstruation" in my reply.
Hey Boogie -
Cool you've got oldies, too. Don't feel like a fool! Really enjoy having them, especially when the recent seasons feel so void of spirit and promise for the Tribe. They help bring back memories of why we loved baseball in the first place.
I noticed Doby looking sad in his photos as early as the '54 Bowman. Have to wonder what was in his heart back then, how much of a burden he felt he was carrying around.
Curious, do you have one of the '51 Doby Bowman's?
Terry -
Excellent column.
Please, keep putting the pressure on this group. As you can see, the support for this regime is almost nil.
They gotta go.
Thank you, Randy.
2 excellent posts today. Love it.
Don't apologize for a fine post, Boogie.
True, some prefer 1 or 2 sentence opinions, but many who have loved the game for a long time enjoy the thought and evaluation of good fans. Same as changing channels, if they don't want to read the post, they're free to move on to others.
It's kinda cool, though, it seems a lot of the group here read many of the posts. Sure there are disagreements, and more, but it shows how deeply the most of the posters here care. I like that a lot.
Please don't forget Atkins and Mirabelli as well. Nothing personal guys, Tribe just needs an overhaul. Soon.
Hey Boogie -
Glad to hear...it's a beautiful card. One of my faves also. Not sure why the bottom was cropped here, but happy that you recognized it. A lot of the '51s turned out great. Do you have one?
I decided to put it up in honor of Larry and his family when they named Larry Doby Way.
Any other cards from the past you love?
For my new friend, 7th -
No need for the paranoia. I see John Kroll addressed your post, so you can relax.
As far as "miscontruation", maybe you're just a serious and literal guy. It was but a small gift for you to enjoy. You won't find it in any dictionary. Having fun with language makes writing and reading a little more fun. Evidently you misconstrued it's intent.
John -
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply.
It's reassuring when you visit from time to time to answer some questions here.
Nice post, Randy -
Hit the salient points right on the button.
Runs Produced makes OBP worthy.
All good points, running.
Just curious about relating Hillis' qualities to Cleveland's, as you didn't include flaky and immature. I love flaky as long as it works, immature I guess you deal with that issue by issue.
Hey 7th,
Still need to see what shakes out, boastful wagers or no.
If there's nothing intelligent to say, kid's nicknames are the next stop on the list.
Hey Tilted -
Agree there's a lot riding on getting Weeden ready and developed. Colt also needs to be developed. I don't look at it as 'either/or'...just 'and' at this point.
Btw, you forgot to capitalize 'Wizard of Oz'....LOL! Betcha he makes outrageous half time locker room speeches....."Now go out there and bring me the the clipboard of the Wicked Coach of the Allegheny Valley....now go....GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"
The Walrus was Paul.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, John!
Although it is humorous to watch "?" post replies to their own comments!

Wish I had the honor of meeting her already!

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup
evaporated milk
3 cups
white sugar
2 tablespoons
1 cup
crushed pineapple, drained
2 teaspoons
lemon juice
This is a great fudge. Similiar to the one sold at Disney World. I did make some changes. I added 12 oz of pineapple with the juice squeezed out and I used heavy whipping cream for rich flavor. The directions aren't specific enough for the inexperienced candy maker though. This fudge should be cooled til lukewarm without stirring. The trick it to not being crumbly is to beat it until it thickens somewhat and the color becomes duller and lighter than it was before you started beating it.
A VERY sweet fudge. Smells good while cooking. Seems to take forever to get to the softball stage though. And after it set, it was almost to the stage of crumbly.
21 Ratings
Perhaps one CUP, as the recipe calls for, instead of the can used, wouldn't yield a pan of sludge. You can't specify how long something cools for- ti's different depending on the temperature, humidity, etc. Cool is just... cool. LOL
Please try the recipe again!
OHHHH they are sooo good if they didnt turn out people did it wrong (there is some texture to them but nothing bad)I will so make these again and I am not experienced with candy (thanks to the helpful reviews appriciate it) these turned out awesome definatly will make again!
I have made this one many times now and do not understand the problems others seem to have had. Perhaps people are adding a can instead of a cup of pineapple?? Sweet-just like fudge is supposed to be! I will continue to make this as our Thanksgiving/Christmas fudge.
Love it.
I am not impressed. This turned into a pan of pineapple-ish sludge. Perhaps if the receipe was more specific (ie. what size can of pineapple, and how long to let it cool).
I made this recipe using the tips from the review where the one person used heavy cream. It still came out very crumbly before I added the lemon juice. Here's how I fixed it: I added an extra teaspoon of lemon juice and I drizzled in some extra heavy cream. Just enough to make it smooth when mixed. Mine turned out very well...very smooth. Of course there is that bit of texture, but you expect that because there is pineapple in it and no matter how much you cook it pineapple will be grainy. It is very sweet though, so I'd suggest cutting it in smaller peices than you normally would for fudge. I hope this helps someone. Have fun!
I decided to make this even though the ratings were not that good. Like others I followed the recipe to the letter. It did set up and had a good taste but was very grainy. Like crystalized sugar. I will not make again.

Orbz 2 is a simple yet awesome game. In this game you are an orb. You got to choose from a variety of orbz - all rather cosmetic - but it will define who you are. There is no storyline at all, just beat a level and get ready for the next one, etc. Welcome to the platform games of old…
The point is to take your orb, aim it - taking into account arc, speed, inclination, etc - and hit a star. There are different stars - some are yellow others are red - floating around the level/map. You aim, fire and pray you hit. Each will give you points to will be added to your score. If you manage to hit more than one star in a row, meaning that in every shot you at least hit one, you will gain more points. Also, if you manage to make a long range shot, you gain additional points. With red stars you acquire more points than with the yellow ones. Simple.
Also within the environment you'll see some blue bubbles floating around. These will take you to a specific point or to the other side of the map/level. Some of the bubbles will lead to "bonuses" such as: stronger shot, sticky shot, money (will increase the points a starts give you, only for a certain time), and others. They're simply bonus options.
All you need for this game is a mouse, maybe a keyboard if you want to insert your name or chat in the multiplayer option (more on that later). With the mouse you move the crosshairs of your Orb. (Your orb will stay in position after you shoot it and your next shot will be from where it stopped) After you aim, a "power" meter will come up. There you choose how far you will want your orb to go based on the strength of your "throw". This involves some strategy - getting the right power with the right settlement of the aim for your orb to hit the star - it is tricky. Durned physics!
Each map/level has its own theme and there great variation among them. Some might be really easy, while others are rather difficult. You are also awarded with medals depending on your score. If you get 2,000 points you will get bronze, 4,000 for silver and 7,000 for Gold. This may vary depending on the map's difficulty. You may also have a limited time finish the map.
There is also the Multiplayer Online aspect of the game, where you play any map/level from the single player against online players to see who gets the highest score. You can chat during the game with your fellow enemies, you can smack them off by telling them how much you are beating them, or you can simply say "I am lagging that's why I am losing". But all in all, the multiplayer is as fun as the single player mode. Maybe more so with the addition of stars and bubbles, which allow you to affect your opponents. Back to start anyone?
The game might sound simple, but the game is truly a lot of fun. You should just head to www.garagegames.com download the demo and give it a try, you will see what I am talking about and you won't regret it. This is definitely a game for the fun of heart and sure of aim!

The idea behind using '611' rather than '911,' is '611' is the number in the US that you call from your telephone/cellphone when you have a problem, and need 'help' or 'repair.' It normally connects you to your phone carrier's 'custoner service' or 'repair' department. Plus, the Mac911 domain was already registered.
Mac611 Puts The Fun Back in Tech Support, Right From Your iPhone
Dave Merten from MacOSG informs me that he has created a new web app for iPhone that provides instant access to support guides right from your iPhone. It's called Mac611 (shouldn't that be 911?). Check it out for yourself, or better still... break your Mac and try to fix it using this service. I'm going to the tool shed now to get my sledgehammer.
