The official video [1] for Canadian Owen Pallett [2]'s (aka Final Fantasy) gossamer-gutwrench "Lewis Takes Off His Shirt" from the new Heartland is a Ryan Trecartin [3]-esque romp with witchy hats, hockey masks, Balloon Boy, Orange Crush, jumbly geometrical soap sculpture, and self-stabbing.
But this live vid of the song, from a downpour at the Hillside Festival in Guelph, Ontario last June, shows that the effervescent one-man band needs no electro-conceptual props to get the joy across. (He'll be here May 5 [4] at the Independent [5] -- indoors, alas.)

Reuters - Wed, 09 Jun 17:25:00 2010
Dane Thomas Bjorn has changed his mind about resigning as chairman of the European Tour's powerful players committee.
The 39-year-old said last year he would step down after becoming frustrated at the decision to shelve a plan to increase the mandatory events players needed to compete in to retain a tour card.
It had been mooted that tour chief executive George O'Grady should take over as chairman but Bjorn is less than happy with that idea.
"I am still acting chairman and I'm still in a position where I do a lot of talking in discussions," Bjorn said on the eve of the Portuguese Open. "It's very difficult for us to find a solution.
"There are quite a few guys who would be good at it but I'm not sure they'd want to do it. So maybe it would be best, if the committee wanted me, I stay on as chairman.
"I've got a great relationship with George and maybe it's what the tour wants at this time -- a little bit of stability. I don't think it's the right way forward to have the chief executive as chairman and I don't think the players do," added Bjorn.
"We want to have our say behind closed doors. We've got to have strong voices with what goes on on tour. If George, or any chief executive, starts chairing, then the players lose a little bit of identity of what the European Tour's about."
Last year former Ryder Cup player Bjorn led a move to increase the number of events European golfers needed to compete in as he tried to halt an exodus to the US but the scheme was rejected by the tour.
"We were all a little bit surprised at the decision but by no means does it mean that we won't do that in the future," said nine-times tour winner Bjorn.
The Dane's golfing performances nosedived between 2007-09 but they have picked up in the last week as he finished joint ninth in the Wales Open on Sunday and pre-qualified on Monday for next month's Open Championship at St Andrews.
Bjorn cannot, however, see himself qualifying for captain Colin Montgomerie's Ryder Cup team for the biennial match with the US in Wales in October.
"I played some nice stuff in Wales and played lovely on Monday but to even think about playing in the Ryder Cup is getting way ahead of myself," he said.
"If Colin offers me the vice-captaincy of course I'd take it. I know the players well and I know Monty well. Any captain needs great help around him.
"I've done it once before and it's a great experience to be on the sidelines."

Woman dies after crashing into SUV; car caught fireJanuary 29,2013JAMAICA — Authorities say a car skidded across a snow-covered southern Vermont road and crashed into a large SUV before catching on fire, killing a woman.
State police say the collision happened Monday afternoon in the town of Jamaica.
A preliminary investigation shows that a car was traveling southbound on Route 30 when the female driver lost control and the vehicle skidded across the road. It crashed into a northbound SUV driven by 48-year-old Gavin Scotti, of Greenwich, Conn.
Authorities say the car caught on fire shortly after the crash, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name is being withheld until family can be notified.
Scotti and his 14-year-old passenger were taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

o, and the ointment for the eyes?
btdt moms, did you refuse the hep b vaccine? why?
o, and the ointment for the eyes?
No. I don't decline most vaccines after doing my own independent research on them. I do have an extensive scientific background and I have a physician in the family who I thoroughly trust. She gives me great advice as well and isn't one of 'those' type of doctors. So far I haven't found any reasons to decline the medical treatment I've received so far.
I know I do not have an STD, but I feel the preventative measure outweighs my need to decline the ointment.
Hep b is sexually transmitted
And the eye ointment is for women who had a caginal disease they can pass to the baby in which case I do not and the ointment blurs the vision of the baby for over an hour

Mommy + Daddy = Raelynn 3-16-11 & Baby Due September 9-15-13..
Also here's the info on hep B
People who may be at risk of hepatitis B are those who:
Have unprotected sex with an infected partner
Receive blood transfusions (not common in the United States)
Have contact with blood at work (such as health care workers)
Have been on long-term kidney dialysis
Get a tattoo or acupuncture with unclean needles
Share needles during drug use
Share personal items (such as toothbrush, razor, and nail clippers) with a person who has the virus
Were born to a hepatitis-B infected mother
Nate & Tmac newleyweds and expecting His 1st biological Child- AdoptedDMelissa (20) DDShayne (6)
GrandDaughter Andalyne (2)
Hep B is not strictly sexually transmitted. The largest number of the virus is found in blood and it can be passed through dirty needles, someone leaving blood on a surface (it is very stable outside the body) and it touching an open wound anywhere on your body or mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth).
The highest concentrations of HBV are found in blood, with lower concentrations found in other body fluids including wound exudates, semen, vaginal secretions, and saliva (439,440). HBV is more infectious and relatively more stable in the environment than other bloodborne pathogens like HCV and HIV.
I took this information from the CDC. http://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment/2010/vaccine.htm#a2
As a BTDT mom of science I delay the Hep B shot for awhile but I accept the ointment. I had the Hep B series all ready and plan on repeating it in the next year.
She got the eye drops, just because they did them while i was being stitched up from tearing. Nbd to me.

Pure talent. Amazing. Love the album.
Brillent new talent, bridging the depths of the blues with rock, jazz and other genre. She also feels no need for gimmick presentation that other great talents have fallen into. She lets the strenght of her instrument to tell the story. I have not bought a new artists cd since the release of Alicia Keys' first cd but Adele's '19' and '21' are a must .
This album is a masterpiece. Great material and great voice. Nuff said.
Just bought Adele 21. I bought it for her first song on it, very soulful. I was disappointed in the rest. Everything else was depressing. She has a tremendous voice, great instrumental and backup.
Barry Walters from Spin should try harder to write sentences that make him sound cool....what a tool. The album a great sophmore release and while there are a couple of tracks worth skipping, overall, it's a great listen. "Out of the box" I like it more than 19, which I love.
Love her and cant wait to see her live in San Francisco
Check out my review of Adele's album and also how the music industry has it wrong http://theinsiter.blogspot.com/2011/03/adele-second-album-21-proves-music.html
Adele is one of the best new talents out there. Not only are her singles amazing from both '19' and '21', but both albums are very listenable. I agree that not every song is a knock-out, but her versatility and style are unbeatable. 'Rolling in the Deep', 'He Won't Go', and 'Turning Tables' are three amazing songs that stand out well on their own. Strong, talented, and mature voice - so much more than many of the "artists" today.
i wish i could see and meet you .your music speaks to the soul.do not change keep on keeping on.
mi piacerebbe scriverti un'e-mail ma non la trovo in internet face book a mè non interessa se non interessa la cosa cestina l'e-mail nel mondo non sei sola anche in mezzo di 5000 persone la porta del cuore lasciala aperta qualcuno prima o poi busserà in amore si gioca in due se sente uno solo non funziona quello che vedi sono i sentimenti vedi tutto rosa ma si gioca in due se nò ci si fa male e basta un conto è amare un'altro è farsi male ,il mio è un consiglio da amico luca

The jury will remain out on Turinui and remain out a little longer to decide about Wendell Sailor who saw precious little ball but the one they were all raving about - and rightly so - was out-half Elton Flatley. The number 10 was seen very much as an, "ah you'll do" option in the absence of Stephen Larkham but against the Irish, the Queensland Red was a revelation. Not only did he carry out his primary function superbly, he returned a 100% kicking average, his defence was outstanding, embellished by that 65th minute tackle on Dempsey when it seemed the Irish full-back simply had to score. Flatley and Kefu will be facing the Irish again later in the year.
Elsewhere, George Gregan simply confirmed what was already known, that he is the best scrum-half in the world at present while up front David Lyons had a big game and is another who Ireland will have to plan for come the autumn.
From an Irish point of view, Victor Costello was superb - particularly in the opening half - until seeming to tire in the final quarter while Geordan Murphy looked to be the one Irish back whose skills could be accomodated in the Wallaby ranks. Murphy is lightning fast and whenever he gets the ball there is a tingle of anticipation all around, a tremor of fear in the oppostion.
From where O'Sullivan sits there was probably too many errors, unforced or forced. Too much ball coughed up in the tackle and far too many first time tackles missed. But with sixty minutes gone and even though they were 15 points adrift, the Irish were not out of this match.They weren't going to win from there but they weren't done yet.
Not until Flatley's tackle on Dempsey. And given that they had arrived here at the end of a long international and domestic campaign, it was probably understandable the tiredness shone through in the closing stages. Probably tired minds as much as tired muscles. They players will know better than anyone that the mistakes they made cost them dearly but they can take heart from some of the passages they put together and look forward to their return to Oz in the autumn - after a well deserved rest.

Chris Kronner Planning Second KronnerBurger in Oakland
He'll only say that, like the pop-up at Bruno's, it will be within another business.
We'd heard late last year that chef Chris Kronner was on the hunt for at least one, if not two permanent locations for his burger venture, KronnerBurger. The pop-up at Bruno's (2379 Mission Street) has already won him a lot of fans, and today Grub Street caught up with Kronner for an update on his expansion plans. He tells us that for now he plans on staying at Bruno's indefinitely, and that since it's "going really well," there's no need to think about moving until much further down the line. He is, however, aiming to open another pop-up across the Bay in June. All he'll say now is, "The second location will also exist within another business. And it will be in Oakland." Any guesses? File under: Developing. [Earlier]

A reader wrote recently about his father, who has been a farmer, but is now ready to retire. His father figured on selling his land to get some money for his golden retirement years. But he found that he cannot get anywhere near the land's market value because busybodies have passed laws that destroy most of that value by restricting the sale of farmland.
The rationale for such laws is "preserving farmland." Think about it. Two of our biggest problems today are obesity and agricultural surpluses. The last thing we need to do is keep farmland from being sold to those who want to use it to build housing, businesses or other things.
Even if we accept, for the sake of argument, the notion that farmland needs to be preserved in order to serve some great national interest, the Constitution of the United States says that private property cannot be taken by the government without just compensation.
When the government destroys half the value of someone's property, that is the same thing economically as taking half of that property. But, because the farmer is left owning all his land, judges have let politicians get away with essentially confiscating much of its value without having to pay any compensation.
People who lead crusades to preserve farmland usually know little about farming and less about economics. Yet they think that they have a right to prevent other people from making mutually agreeable transactions, when that goes against the fetishes of third parties.
Busybodies may flatter themselves that they are wiser or nobler than others -- which is perhaps the biggest benefit from being a busybody -- but the Constitution of the United States says that all citizens are entitled to the equal protection of the laws.
In other words, people who want to wring their hands about farmlands or wetlands, or about some obscure toad or snake, have no more rights than people who don't care two cents about such things. It is hard for those who have presumptions of being the morally anointed to accept that, but that is what the Constitution says.
Unfortunately, too many judges are ready to fudge or fake what the Constitution says because they too share the vision of the anointed. So they downgrade property rights and let third parties impose their pet notions on others, using the power of government to violate the rights of those who do not agree with them.
What makes a lot of the talk about "preserving" or "saving" farmland or other things as phony as a three-dollar bill is that the real agenda is often very different -- namely, keeping out people who do not have the income or the inclination to share the lifestyle of the anointed.

How to cook yummy beef?
Answered on February 11, 2014
Created November 23, 2013 at 7:41 PM
I feel like I can't cook beef???whenever I cook it on stove top it tastes gross???something about frying it that is bad? Grilled meat tastes great, and meat in soup???but fried is just blah! Maybe I am cooking it on too high of a heat ruining it? Anyone every experience this?
This thumb to finger thing is confusing but I'd like to understand. Please elaborate. Are we poking the steak to see if it feels like our thumb feels to those fingers or something?
Slow cooking is key I think! I think cooking too fast destroys the meat cause there isn't enough fat. It just tastes icky! I ordered some grass fedd beef! I hope that is better! Thanks so much! I'm really trying to get good sources of things while avoiding all dairy, processed foods, soy, and most evil grains. I wish I could have milk like some people and not get zits, but I just don't think I can
I sympathize with you. I tried a buffalo burger once and it was awful and dry as sawdust. Now I'd have to add some fat to it if I tried it again. Low and slow cooking for very lean meats is really the only way.

Here's all you need to know:
Take away: season well before and allow to rest. Works for me. Also - for oil I use butter ghee.
@Methodician http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/the_finger_test_to_check_the_doneness_of_meat/ your supposed to know this stuff!!! Google is your friend cooking 101....
Buy a grill and a good cookbook chef ramsay has some great recipes. Do not coat a steak with oil there is no reason to do this. If your going to cook it in a pan no need to go crazy with oil, olive oil in the pan works just fine. Salt and pepper for seasoning if you like your steak rarer you can use the finger to palm rule. Thump to index finger rare, Thumb to middle finger medium rare, thumb to ring finger is done, thumb to pinky is well done. Do this and touch the meaty part of your thumb you will feel the difference from soft to hard same thing works with steak.
This thumb to finger thing is confusing but I'd like to understand. Please elaborate. Are we poking the steak to see if it feels like our thumb feels to those fingers or something?
Here are some tips for a tastier pan-fried steak:
First, bring the steak to room temperature by letting it sit for 30-60 minutes.
Coat the steak with a very thin layer of oil. Use one with a high smoke point.
Liberally salt the steak on both sides, and pepper it as you like. Rub the salt and pepper in on both sides. I use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of salt on each side. Kosher salt sticks to the steak better and tastes better.
Allow the steak to sit for five minutes after salting- this helps to make it juicier.
Heat a cast iron skillet on high for three minutes.
Add your steak to the pan, and do not move it until you flip it. This forms a delicious brown sear. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes for a medium-rare steak (of 1.25in thickness)
Using tongs, place the steak on a plate and loosely cover it with foil. Let it sit for five more minutes, then enjoy!
These extra steps have helped me cook some really delicious steaks at home.
BBQ all day... I BBQ 3-5 times a week mostly grass fed ground beef patties
i literally cook all of my beef on the stove top and it tastes good- filet mignon, sirloin, ground beef, shaved steak. i always start with high heat, like samc, and usually reduce to medium and cover it with a lid to cook it through. i usually put bacon fat in there, too, so the meat doesn't burn.
What kind of beef are you cooking. I sometimes pan fry a steak with a high temp and sear it on both sides, although I much prefer to broil it. I would pan fry a hamburger with a bit of coconut oil or butter to keep it from sticking. Beyond that I don't fry beef. Tougher cuts would be slow roasted or crock pot cooked.

Spascupreel Winning Combintation
2 людей считают этот отзыв полезным
Отзыв оставлен Reviewer1193079 Oct 19, 2008
I take this on its own, and also in combination with Traumeel or Zeel. I have a muscle in my shoulder that just refuses to stay calm on its own. When flared up it is impossible to continue life as normal. With the Traumeel/Spascupreel combination for a couple of hours, things go back to normal. Also take as a preventative when going to do work that involves the upper body (use the computer, cut the grass, vacuum) Highly recommend.
Excellent results

I have been using Spascupreel in conjunction with a couple other homeopathic medicines for my dog who has degenerative disk disease and arthritis and we have not had to use ANY prescription NSAID's on him in well over a year, close to two now. Very happy :)
Excellent product!

I suffer from severe muscle spasms in my neck/shoulders due to a misaligned pelvis and currently am in the process of realigning that with a shoe lift, causing everything in my back to shift. I cannot take many medications due to a corn allergy, and i came across Spascupreel thru much internet research. I have been using the Traumeel Ointment for months which is fantastic for specific areas such as shoulders, but this seems to reduce the severity of spasms when i take it three times a day on a daily basis. On my really spasm'd days, i alter between Spascupreel and Traumeel tablets. This is an excellent product, and i recommend it to everyone. The best part is there are no side effects as with regular medications!
helps with IBD (Crohn's specifically)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about Wank, a mountain in the Bavarian Alps. Wank can also be slang for masturbation.
Wank is a mountain in the Bavarian Alps, by Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany, close to the Austrian border. Wank is 1780m tall, and has a cable car, the Wankbahn, which takes people almost all the way to the top. Near the peak, there is an inn called the Wankhaus which was built in 1911 that allows people to spend the night.


text: I was digging through my large hoard of vintage cameras when I came across a Roamer I 6 x 9cm folder by the Universal camera company. Not a very good camera but it does have a better than average body over engineered in stainless steel and takes either 620 or 120 film. The biggest draw back of this camera is it's poor lens with a single shutter speed. So, off to the repair bench it went. I first pulled its lens and did a bit of machining to the front standard to accommodate the larger and more versatile Kodak Anaston lens which is also vintage. After fitting the new lens a finder was needed so I pulled a Zeiss finder from a Polaroid 360 land camera (Yes they used a Zeiss finder) The new finder was attached with minimal adjustments needed!. This was a pretty easy mod / upgrade to get a decent 6 x 9 with 120 film on the cheap! So, if you see any Roamers out there they can be a good camera if outfitted with a better/ modern lens. Just my 2 cents.

Mykal did a masterful job handling a misdemeanor case for a family member of mine. His knowledge of the law and the criminal justice system really helps guide his clients through their difficult time. At each phase of the case, Mykal was there offering wise legal counsel and helping us improve our case. On top of all that, his fees are very affordable/reasonable for the level of service he provides. I would recommend Mykal without reservation to anyone who finds themselves facing a criminal case in Austin.

Mykal is a miracle worker and an extremely knowledgeable professional. He exceeded my expectations with little to no effort on my end and got both of my cases dismissed. I couldn't thank him enough!

Mykal is a magician. He promised he would do his best to rid my worries and he did. He got my possession case dismissed. A few hours of community service was all I had to do. Very grateful to have him on my team!

Mykal Fox went out of his way and did everything he could to get the best result for my case. He is a great lawyer, extremely knowledgable, and a really good guy to work with. This man deserves a lot of credit and I recommend everyone to use him for their case. I have worked with other lawyers who did very little to get a good outcome. They wanted to get things done as soon as possible. Mykal took the extra time to renegotiate a better deal, even though it didnt mean he would be paid more. Fox is the MAN!
Posted by a DUI & DWI client
Mykal did a terrific job with my case. He was able to get me into a pre trial diversion program that I should not have qualified for based on the requirements. He also helped me avoid having to get an occupational license. He was very responsive, kept me informed, and guided me through each step of the process. I would strongly recommend him to any friends/family.

Evolving Systems Inc. Stock Downgraded (EVOL)
TheStreet) -- Evolving Systems (Nasdaq: EVOL) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including feeble growth in the company's earnings per share, disappointing return on equity and weak operating cash flow. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Software industry. The net income increased by 1055.1% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $1.58 million to $18.20 million.
- EVOL's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.00 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.83, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- EVOL, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 2.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 21.8%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$1.69 million or 239.55% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, EVOLVING SYSTEMS INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Pinhole Passion: A Project on Pinhole Photographywritten by sudhashunmu on 2013-05-01 in #lifestyle
A pinhole camera is a simple camera (can be made using cardboard too) without a lens and with a single small aperture – effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. The basic procedure of a pinhole involves light passing through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, that is photography in its simplest form. The human eye in bright light acts similarly, as do cameras using small apertures.3 8 Share Tweet

What is achalasia?
Reader Stories
Achalasia is a rare disease of the muscle of the esophagus (swallowing tube). The term achalasia means "failure to relax" and refers to the inability of the lower esophageal sphincter (a ring of muscle situated between the lower esophagus and the stomach) to open and let food pass into the stomach. As a result, people with achalasia have difficulty swallowing food. In addition to the failure to relax, achalasia is associated with abnormalities of esophageal peristalsis (usually complete absence of peristalsis), the coordinated muscular activity of the body of the esophagus (which comprises 90% of the esophagus) that transports food from the throat to the stomach.
How does the normal esophagus function?
The esophagus has three functional parts. The uppermost part is the upper esophageal sphincter, a specialized ring of muscle that forms the upper end of the tubular esophagus and separates the esophagus from the throat. The upper sphincter remains closed most of the time to prevent food in the main part of the esophagus from backing up into the throat. The main part of the esophagus is referred to as the body of the esophagus, a long, muscular tube approximately 20 cm (8 in) in length. The third functional part of the esophagus is the lower esophageal sphincter, a ring of specialized esophageal muscle at the junction of the esophagus with the stomach. Like the upper sphincter, the lower sphincter remains closed most of the time to prevent food and acid from backing up into the body of the esophagus from the stomach.
The upper sphincter relaxes with swallowing to allow food and saliva to pass from the throat into the esophageal body. The muscle in the upper esophagus just below the upper sphincter then contracts, squeezing food and saliva further down into the esophageal body. The ring-like contraction of the muscle progresses down the body of the esophagus, propelling the food and saliva towards the stomach. (The progression of the muscular contraction through the esophageal body is referred to as a peristaltic wave.). By the time the peristaltic wave reaches the lower sphincter, the sphincter has opened, and the food passes into the stomach.
How is esophageal function abnormal in achalasia?
In achalasia there is an inability of the lower sphincter to relax and open to let food pass into the stomach. In at least half of the patients, the lower sphincter resting pressure (the pressure in the lower sphincter when the patient is not swallowing) also is abnormally high. In addition to the abnormalities of the lower sphincter, the muscle of the lower half to two-thirds of the body of the esophagus does not contract normally, that is, peristaltic waves do not occur, and, therefore, food and saliva are not propelled down the esophagus and into the stomach. A few patients with achalasia have high-pressure waves in the lower esophageal body following swallows, but these high-pressure waves are not effective in pushing food into the stomach. These patients are referred to as having "vigorous" achalasia. These abnormalities of the lower sphincter and esophageal body are responsible for food sticking in the esophagus.

Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class (original 2011; edition 2012)
by Owen Jones
Work details
Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class by Owen Jones (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A polemic that wears its leftwing politics unashamedly (and largely legitimately) on its sleeve. This is a solid review of the excesses of Thatcherism, how gravely it damaged working-class culture in the 1980s, and its upshot in Britain today - where a working-class rump has gone from being viewed as 'salt of the earth' to 'scum of the earth'. Some discussion of globalisation would have been useful (after all, Thatcher's economic policies and smashing of the trade unions didn't take place in a national vacuum), but overall this is a fairly convincing read.
I really enjoyed reading this thought-provoking book about discourses about working-class people and issues that they in particular face in British politics and media. I think it would have been even better if it had spent some time right at the beginning to discuss the range of meanings that the term "working class" has and how those might have shifted over time.
I think that this is a really important book. It explained to me how & why Labour has, to my mind, lost its way and how many of the problems we now have are still the legacy of Thatcherism. Reading it was like having the lens on our society cleaned.
An outstanding read that isn't at its heart about chavs at all. During my visit to Manchester and Liverpool, I could observe, to my horror, the strange customs and dress code of the British working/under class. In contrast to Orwell's Road to Wigan Pier, the working class is no longer invisible in the street. They even have reality TV show vehicles like "Geordie Shore" to beam their behaviors across the globe. In contrast to their visibility in life and in the media, politics is ignoring this lost generation completely.
Jones' claims that this is the consequence of the Thatcher revolution which broke the trade unions and conquered the mind of New Labour. Politics has ceased competing for working class votes. The working class which still accounts for over 50 percent of all jobs has answered by not voting at all (the so-called sofa option) or voting for protest candidates (who usually are ineffective and do not last long in politics). Owen's description of the English political landscape is smart and the absence of a nutty left to balance the nutty right a misfortune for sound governance. Between Tories, Lib-Dems and Labour, English voters are offered three flavors that may taste a bit different but contain much the same ingredients and perform whatever the City of London demands. No wonder that the areas that profit least from such politics such as Wales and Scotland increasingly seek to go their own way. I hope that the author will present a follow-up book soon.
A very passionate call for the return of class politics, Jones' book will be read by nods of agreement by anyone with a flicker of belief in social justice. The only problem is of course that only the already converted will actually read this; but thats the same for all polemics.
Jones' argues that the working class have become acceptable targets for ridicule and victimisation and its hard to argue with him. Starting from Thatcher's destruction of British manufacturing as a price worth paying to emasculate the trade unions, the myth of "aspiration", the identification of the working class with lack of aspiration and ambition and indeed with being a "non working class" , the developing weasel narrative that poverty is mainly the fault of the poor, the domination of media channels by the wealthy, the lack of actual social mobility other than amongst the very rich - these are all themes Jones explores well and at length. Mainly I agree with him. The Shannon Matthews and Madeline McCann cases, and their very different treatments in the press based on the class of the families is particularly well handled
The reasons this book doesn't get 5 stars from me are partly literary and partly interpretative. From a literary perspective there is sone repetition here - basically we have heard all Jones' arguments (and are in agreement) by around page 150. The rest feels like filler or a restating of the obvious. Secondly he needs a greater range of sources - Larry Elliott and Polly Toynbee of The Guardian are quoted often, but their opinions are already well known. We need to hear from a greater rage of right wing sources too, rather than Simon Fuller and the eccentric David Davis. But his discussions with "ordinary people" are well done
From an interpretative point of view, I would pick a number of nits. I don't think football hooliganism - and its very important part in making the population scared of young working class men from industrial towns, even if many perpetrators were not working class - is given enough attention. Thatcher's crack down on football hooligans was applauded by most - and set up a political mood where crackdown was an acceptable and appropriate policy. The break up of the miners strike was a short step from there. I also disagree with his image of the mining village and working class towns based around one industry as social utopia - most miners hated mining and were very eager for their children not to follow their footsteps. The difference of course is that mining, factory work, what Jones call "decent jobs" were at least SOMETHING. Now they have been replaced by the shopping centre, the call centre or nothing at all. The was nothing wrong with getting rid of nasty, dirty jobs in unprofitable industries - the tragedy was to replace them with nothing.
But on the whole warmly recommended. It would be nice if some Conservatives would read it. But they wont

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 184467696X, Paperback)
A compelling investigation into the myth and reality of working-class life in contemporary Britain.In modern Britain, the working class has become an object of fear and ridicule. From Little Britain's Vicky Pollard to the demonization of Jade Goody, media and politicians alike dismiss as feckless, criminalized and ignorant a vast, underprivileged swathe of society whose members have become stereotyped by one, hate-filled word: chavs.
In this groundbreaking investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from "salt of the earth" to "scum of the earth." Exposing the ignorance and prejudice at the heart of the chav caricature, one based on the media's inexhaustible obsession with an indigent white underclass, he portrays a far more complex reality. Moving through Westminster's lobbies and working-class communities from Dagenham to Dewsbury Moor, Jones reveals the increasing poverty and desperation of communities made precarious by wrenching social and industrial change, and all but abandoned by the aspirational, society-fragmenting policies of Thatcherism and New Labour. The chav stereotype, he argues, is used by governments as a convenient figleaf to avoid genuine engagement with social and economic problems, and to justify widening inequality.
Based on a wealth of original research, and wide-ranging interviews with media figures, political opinion-formers and workers, Chavs is a damning indictment of the media and political establishment, and an illuminating, disturbing portrait of inequality and class hatred in modern Britain.

We want to clear up confusion about protection orders issued by tribal courts in Alaska. The truth is the State of Alaska has recognized and enforced tribal court protection orders since at least 2008, as required by the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
The recent amendments to the VAWA did not change this. The "Alaska exception" to the 2013 VAWA amendments provides that Alaska tribes have the same jurisdiction now that they had before the amendments.
Because the State fully recognized and enforced tribal protection orders before the amendments, it continues to fully recognize and enforce tribal protection orders now. The Alaska exception neither expanded nor retracted the existing authority of tribal courts or the State, including tribal courts' authority to issue protection orders to be enforced by the State.
It has always been the State's position that an individual's safety comes first. Presented with a tribal protection order, the trooper first ascertains whether a person is in imminent danger. If the person is in imminent danger, the trooper will take necessary steps to protect the person. This could be arresting for a violation of the tribal order or it could be arresting the perpetrator for a violation of another state crime.
Even in those cases where a state law enforcement officer is unable to enforce a protection order by making an arrest because they do not have probable cause, the trooper should provide protection through alternatives like transporting the victim to a shelter, helping the victim contact supportive family members, or assisting with having the order filed in state court.
Furthermore, the troopers have gone above and beyond the requirements of VAWA governing full faith and credit. The troopers will attempt to deliver valid tribal protection orders to the defendants on behalf of the petitioners (victims).
Over the past six years, at least 48 tribal court orders have been filed with the State court and formally recognized by the State. We know there are other tribal protection orders that were never formally filed with the State, and that is the individual choice of the petitioner (victim).
However, there are benefits to filing the tribal court order with the State, including that the order will be entered into the central registry for protective orders. This can provide greater safety and ease of enforcement as a petitioner (victim) moves about the state -- often without a copy of the order in his or her possession.
In addition to protection orders, the VAWA amendments authorized tribal jurisdiction over special domestic violence crimes. But as defined by the VAWA amendments, special domestic violence crimes occur only in Indian country. Therefore, this section has only limited application in Alaska because, aside from Metlakatla's Annette Island Reserve, Alaska does not have Indian country. The 2013 Alaska exception simply stated what was already true -- statutes based on the existence of Indian country do not apply in Alaska, aside from Metlakatla.
Of course there is always more to do, and so we appreciate the spotlight turning to rural Alaska's difficult public safety issues. Governor Parnell has long focused on these issues and has made ending the epidemic of domestic violence and sexual assault in Alaska a personal priority. He included funding for 15 additional village public safety officers in every proposed budget since becoming governor and prompted us to pursue agreements with tribal courts to act on a host of domestic violence and alcohol-related matters.
The bottom line is that the State of Alaska has given and will continue to give full faith and credit to tribal court protection orders. We welcome additional ideas on ways to make Alaska safer for all. We look forward to collaboration among tribes, the State, the federal government, Native corporations and others to solve these issues.
Michael C. Geraghty is the attorney general for the state of Alaska, and Gary Folger is commissioner of the Department of Public Safety.
