Skip to comments.Queen hands over the reigns to Prince Charles - historic step closer to a new king
Posted on 01/19/2014 10:33:59 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
It is being dubbed the gentle succession as the Queen gradually begins to relinquish some of her traditional duties as monarch.
As she approaches her 88th birthday in April after almost 62 years on the throne, she has agreed to hand over part of her workload in a historic job-share arrangement with Prince Charles.
In a royal first, he will be taking on more head of state-style responsibilities as the Palace starts to make tentative plans for his eventual succession.
Courtiers yesterday described the softly-softly move as wise and just plain common sense.
The first sign of the partial power transfer will be the merging this week of the Queen and Charless press offices.
In future any announcements concerning the monarch and her 65-year-old eldest son will now come from the same source. Palace sources insist the switch will be entirely seamless.
Princes William and Harry will also play their part in the new set-up, with both assuming far more responsibility since they relinquished their military roles.

She had lived so long trying not to do this,sad for the UK.
It is really sad when you birth an idiot.
she has lost her last marble
he is depraved and an idiot
yes, but it is sadder she's presided over her country being overtaken by muzzies and big brother and she couldn't stop it, and maybe shares in the blame for it. only thatcher would have had a chance to prevent what's happened to the uk.
I can't respect Charles.
It was my hope she would skip a generation, and make Charles' eldest son king.
Perhaps there's no way to do that.
At least morons around the planet can gain peace knowing one of their own has finally been crowned.
UK Royal succession ping
He's mind-numbingly aboard the global warming express. Things can only go downhill with him at the helm. His son may never see the throne if his idiocy removes the monarchy form of government due to his liberal agenda ideology.
Maybe we can bring back something like George III's porphyria and have a Regency under William. It got England through Napoleon.
"It was my hope she would skip a generation, and make Charles eldest son king."
"Perhaps theres no way to do that."
Actually, there is a way to do that, but the London tabloids would be all over her for that.
I think William has a much more level head than his dad.
Even William would know better than to act like his dad did towards his mother.
It honestly makes me cringe every time I see Camilla at some event. No class whatsoever those two...
The tabloids can go... well nevermind.
Thanks for the mention BTW.
This could all be a feint.
Somehow, I get a feeling Charles will handle this change well. Part of the conditions for The Queen to abdicate might be that Charles must give his oldest son William and wife Kate a big role in the public eye. Everyone knows it is Will and Kate who excite and inspire the crowds in London. Kate may be expecting again.
Prince Dufus doesn't deserve to be king.
Charles' first official position is that of a Royal Tampon.
She never had any marbles to begin with. She has proclaimed: "Le Reyne le veult" to each and every Act of Parliament since She ascendented the Throne.
However, Liz is not dead yet, and he is no spring chicken either, and men dont live as long as women. It may be that he might die before her, or only be on the throne for a short time.
Charles reminds me of Edward VII. Too long without real employment. He will be pretty lackluster I think
"...she has agreed to hand over part of her workload in a historic job-share arrangement with Prince Charles."
Which means one brainless twit handing over part of her non-existent "workload" over to another brainless twit.
Too bad they both can't run for Congress. They would fit in well.
I am lucky enough to be a friend of the Prince of Wales, and he's not an idiot.
The Prince is, on most issues, a staunch conservative. Because of this significant sections of the mass media does its best to try and make him look a fool - as they typically try to do with most conservatives.
It surprises me to some extent to see people on Freerepublic falling for such tactics, because they seem all too aware of them when they are applied to American figures - and the British press is, if anything, for the most part even more left wing than the US press.
People also don't seem to understand that virtually every speech made by the Prince of Wales is written for him by British civil servants acting on the instructions of British politicians. The nature of the constitutional monarchy means that it is important the Prince is never seen to be in significant conflict with Her Majesty's Government on any major issue. One reasons the Prince has made so many speeches in recent years on environmental issues is because it represents one of the few areas where he does tend to agree with the 'progressive' line of British governments. They don't want him speaking on issues like gun rights (which he supports) or stronger sentences for criminals (which he also supports) or a wide range of other conservative issues.
The Press also tends to highlight these speeches, while paying much less attention to cases where he is meeting with and supporting troops and veterans (which he does regularly, and which is also largely supported by the current government - but not necessarily by the media).
He's a good and decent man, who is unfortunately not really in a position to defend himself. I'm his friend and I will do so. And when he becomes King - assuming he does - he will do his best and do his duty to his country, and to the Commonwealth - as he has all of his life.
I do - but I am lucky enough to know him, and not have to judge him just through how he is presented by the press.
It was my hope she would skip a generation, and make Charles eldest son king.
Perhaps theres no way to do that.
The Queen cannot do this. Parliament could - it has the power to pass a law altering the succession (as it is currently doing to give females the same right as males) but the Queen cannot do so.
But Parliament would only do it for extremely compelling reasons - or if both the Queen and the Prince of Wales asked them to (which might happen if she reaches 100 and he'd be nearly 80 but is unlikely to happen unless something like that takes place).
People should understand that being King is an immense responsibility - and so is being Heir Apparent. The Prince of Wales has been Heir Apparent since he was five years old - he has never really had a chance at much of a normal life, and when he becomes King that becomes even more true. Even if he didn't want to be King, he would take the Crown at this point partly just to keep that burden from falling on William - he is not going to force his son to give up his chance at something close to a normal life for as long as possible.
As a matter of fact, she hasn't. There are certain bills for which a different phrase is used (just mentioning that as a point of interest, given it's quite rare to encounter anybody who is even aware of the formal phrase). And the Queen doesn't proclaim it - the Clerk of the Parliaments does.
But she has to give consent. The United Kingdom is a Constitutional Monarchy and the Constitution gives the power to make laws to Parliament. The Monarch could only refuse assent in very extreme cases which are defined by the Lascelles Principles - and no such case has arisen during the reign of the current Queen. The last time a King even came close to refusing assent was in 1910. The last time it actually happened was in 1708.
The existence of the power prevents Parliament presenting such bills in the first place, because it would be used if it had to be.
Incidentally Her Majesty did refuse consent to a Bill in 1999 - a Bill that would have given Parliament the ability to overrule the Monarch in a dispute over whether Britain went to war or not - but that is different from refusing assent (refusal of consent stops Parliament from even debating a Bill and can only be used in the case of a few very specific royal perogatives.)
Interesting that you know the Prince of Wales. I know two people who know him (one is married to a famous actress) and neither of these two people like him.
Thanks for sharing this info. You would never know that by what you read in the press.
Being likable isn't the top qualification for being good at one's job. Plenty of people say that 0vomit and Clinton are very likable.
Well, not everybody who knows me, likes me either. I don't know why - I'm charming :)
Seriously, people can know him and not like him. It happens that I do. What concerns me isn't whether or not people like him or not - just whether or not, he's judged fairly. And I think the media has made it very hard for people to judge him fairly. That's a product of them being largely left wing and rarely being fair towards either conservatives or conservative ideas, and the virtual worship of much of the media of the late Diana, Princess of Wales (who I met a few times, but did not know well - she seemed to me like a lovely lady and a loving and devoted mother, but she certainly was not the near-deity that some elevated her to), which lead them to treat him as some sort of cartoon villain.
Skip all that.....go directly to Harry !
Well, this one friend continually refers to him as "a jerk." I think Charles flirts with his wife too much. But he should be used to this - in England this woman is pretty much adored.
I have not liked a lot of Charles' public statements which I'm sure - not withstanding who writes them - reflect his own values. Did he not say he wants to be "Defender of All Faiths"? or was that wrong?
The term is actually Latin - Fidei Defensor, which can be translated into English as either Defender of Faith, or Defender of the Faith. There are rumours - but they are completely unconfirmed - that when he is King, he wants the former to be used rather than the latter in his English language 'Style'. It could be true.
If it is, it reflects nothing more than his desire to be a King for all his people in both Britain and the Commonwealth. He wants to defend freedom of religion - including and especially freedom of religion.
Here is an extract from a speech he made last month:
For myself, I have for some time now been deeply troubled by the growing difficulties faced by Christian communities in various parts of the Middle East. It seems to me that we cannot ignore the fact that Christians in the Middle East are, increasingly, being deliberately targeted by fundamentalist Islamist militants. Christianity was, literally, born in the Middle East and we must not forget our Middle Eastern brothers and sisters in Christ. Their church communities link us straight back to the early Church, as I was reminded by hearing Aramaic, Our Lord's own language, spoken and sung a few hours ago.
Yet, today, the Middle East and North Africa has the lowest concentration of Christians in the world just four per cent of the population and it is clear that the Christian population of the Middle East has dropped dramatically over the last century and is falling still further.
This has an effect on all of us, although, of course, primarily on those Christians who can no longer continue to live in the Middle East: we all lose something immensely and irreplaceably precious when such a rich tradition dating back two thousand years begins to disappear. It is, therefore, especially delightful to see such a rich panoply of church life here to-day, including the Antiochian, Greek, Coptic, Syrian, and Armenian Orthodox Churches, the Melkite, Maronite, Syrian Catholic, Chaldean, and Roman Catholic Churches, as well as the Church of the East, and Churches established, dare I say it, somewhat more recently, including the Anglican Church!
In saying all this about the difficulties facing the Christian churches in the Middle East I am, of course, conscious that they are not the only faith community in this region suffering at the moment, nor is the Middle East the only part of the world in which Christians are suffering, but, given the particularly acute circumstances faced by the church communities in the Middle East to-day, I felt it worthwhile to draw attention to their current plight. It is important to note, above all, that the decline of Christians in the region represents a major blow to peace as Christians are part of the fabric of society, often acting as bridge-builders between other communities.
When he becomes King he wants to be a King for all Britons, for all citizens of the Commonwealth Realms, and he wants to Head of Commonwealth for the entire Commonwealth. He is Christian - and he will take his role as Supreme Governor of the Church of England seriously - but he will defend the rights of all to worship freely. So yes, he may well prefer to be Defender of Faith, rather than limit that only to his own. But he makes the distinction very strongly between those who simply live a life of peaceful faith - and those who take an extremist view and use their religion as a justification or excuse for violence.
It's worth remembering that his mentor, the man he was closest to outside of his own family was brutally murdered by people who claimed their Roman Catholicism was part of their justification for killing people - and he saw the same group bomb his country repeatedly. He sees the difference between true religion and religion as an excuse for violence more clearly than most people - and treats those who simply want to worship as they wish with respect, while having nothing but contempt for those who practices the perversions of terrorism.
British clintons.
Plus, William has a very important credential....... he is young.
By force of vigor and personality he might restore the authority of King his grandmother threw away
Thanks for the history lesson.
I'm kind of the opposite...not everybody who knows me, hates me. I don't know why, I'm meaner than a snake....
The only really mean snake is the cotton moth.
Maybe you can be called cotton mouth from here on
The IRA is a left-wing terrorist organization and is not supported by the Catholic Church. I don't remember the Vatican praising the butchering of Lord Mountbatten.
And, please, no more lectures on the wonders of Prince Charles. I have enough problems following American politics. If you want to talk about Queen Elizabeth, I'll engage.
He will get to preside over the event where Buckingham Palace is turned into a Mooookus.
She should skip over him for William
If he is not an idiot, why does he act like one? If His Royal Highness was an American citizen, he would be an Obama-boosting liberal Democrat. If he ejects all the Muslims from Great Britain and stops calling himself Defender of the FAITHS, I might reconsider my opinion of him.
Izlamist King of England...Them English got to be proud...
Hmmm. Cyber "Cotton Mouth" liberty. Has a ring to it, but too much like "Big Mouth," and everybody already knows that about me.
"Cobra" maybe?
The miching buffoon is 66 years old. We can only hope that he ends up face first in a butt of Malmsey, or at least so frequently imbibes pomace brandy that he is numbered among those who have experienced spontaneous combustion.
When speaking in reference to other countries, an American is well advised to be cautious about the meaning of the term, conservative. this reply on an old thread is one of my favorites, on the topic of American conservatism and its relation to conservatism in other countries.Because of this significant sections of the mass media does its best to try and make him look a fool - as they typically try to do with most conservatives.
My take on American conservatism (which may be relevant to Britain) is that Theodore Roosevelt nailed it in his famous speech to the Sarbone in Paris in 1910:It surprises me to some extent to see people on Freerepublic falling for such tactics, because they seem all too aware of them when they are applied to American figures - and the British press is, if anything, for the most part even more left wing than the US press.There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes to second achievement.Clearly, the press is guilty of functioning as the critic in TRs posited scenario. It is only natural that they should tend to do so; they dont do anything which makes them accountable for, you know, actual results - but they can criticize like nobodys business. And - crucial point - journalists behave precisely as Adam Smith predicted:
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life's realities - all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. They mark the men unfit to bear their part painfully in the stern strife of living, who seek, in the affection of contempt for the achievements of others, to hide from others and from themselves in their own weakness. The rôle is easy; there is none easier, save only the rôle of the man who sneers alike at both criticism and performance.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeatPeople of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations (Book I, Ch 10)Since all major journalists work for members of wire services, and since wire services function as virtual meetings of people of the same trade (of journalism), nothing else can be expected but that journalists will go along and get along with each other - to the detriment of the public. Especially do they do so by claiming that all journalists are objective, which in effect is a claim by each journalist that he himself is objective. Say what you will of the virtue of diligently trying to be objective, arguing from the assumption that you actually are objective serves the same function, and is no more justifiable, than claiming superior wisdom. Either amounts to mere arrogance in service to an attempt at censorship.
Considering how our journalists strain at gnats (in Chris Christies Bridgegate( and swallow camels (in reference to all things Benghazi, and ObamaCare, and Fast and Furious, and . . .) that is quite a strong claim you make about the British press.
But then, I can match your friend Charles Global Warming credulousnes with that of a friend who is legitimately a scientist but who claimed to me that the science (of global warming) is good. So why should we wonder that conservatives are sometimes gulled by press reports?It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.

Whether the Affordable Care Act can attract young, generally healthy people to buy individual health insurance through the new exchanges remains in question. Near universal participation will be paramount to making the health care program work. If large numbers of young to middle-age individuals choose instead to pay a tax penalty rather than buy insurance, higher premiums will result and the ACA will not meet the affordability goal.
On Oct. 1 individuals can start utilizing the exchanges to shop for health insurance. The days leading up to that landmark date have seen much information and many predictions released as to how things will play out, much of it contradictory and weighted by advocacy for or opposition to "Obamacare."
In reality, no one can know for sure what will happen. This is an extremely complex way to achieve universal health coverage for Americans. The obvious alternative, essentially extending a Medicare-type system to all, was politically impossible - universally opposed by Republicans and by many moderate to conservative Democrats.
Instead, the nation got the ACA, intended to utilize the private health insurance market to provide universal coverage by creating competition on the exchanges, with tax credits for individuals to offset the cost. But the approach comes with protections and mandates that raise costs for insurers, who in turn will pass them along through higher premiums. These mandates include no denying no denying coverage to people because of pre-existing conditions, and free preventive services that include annual physicals, HPV DNA testing for women 30 or older, and colorectal screenings.
In a good news/bad news report this week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said that based on its analysis, individual premiums purchased on the exchanges would be on average $768 less per year than the Congressional Budget Office had estimated.
In Connecticut, however, the cost of a medium-range plan will be among the highest in the nation at $436 per month, compared with a national monthly average of $328. That is not surprising, however, given the high cost of health insurance found in the state now, tied to its high income and high cost of living statistics.
To mitigate the cost of premiums, tax credits will be available for individuals earning up to $46,000 annually and for a family of four up to $94,000, with the average credit of $2,700 per family, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
However, in a recent Forbes article, Obamacare critic Avik Roy said HHS released selective information. Those 40 and under and healthy will end up paying more for health insurance on the exchanges than they can buy it now, even accounting for tax credits. In 2014 that could lead many to opt to pay the tax penalty - 1 percent of income or $95 per person, whichever is higher - rather than buy insurance.
However things play out, there will need to be adjustments. Simply saying no to Obamacare is not a policy. Adjusting it or displacing it with a plan that meets the goal of making health insurance available to all Americans would be.

I tuned into The Inauguration on MLK Day and was pretty perturbed—not only by Beyonce's ship-syncing performance but also by the amount of faux fleece scattered across the National Mall like it was a regular mall.
I get it; it's cold. L.A. temps were dipping it low last week. Luckily—like "The Carrie Diaries"—we're now back in the '80s. We are not, however, back in the times when they figured out how to make fabric from recycled soda bottles. Only the Navy is that old, and the gap between Then and Now is at least XX2 years.
Here are a few contempo' solutions to beat the cold and get away with it.
Statement (Of the Union) gloves provide a punch of color that fingers you as a fashion-pro in a Wintour-wonderland. Here's our dazzling First Lady, Michelle Obama. Notice: no faux fleece.
While we're sugar coating… Wool-n't it be nice to be warm in something patterned and fitted? Michelle's tiled and pleated coat gives her the silhouette she deserves, the iconic intrigue of a First Lady, and the propriety to which she must adhere—albeit grudgingly. Way to go, designer Thom Browne. Pretty sure the Alejandra also passes the same bill—she's proper with whimsy.
You need to (North) face the fact that faux fleece should be relegated to boot-linings, pj's, pet beds, snuggies, the wilderness, ski slopes, and charity bins. Even Artesa would have trouble keeping it streamlined against a poly-plush cover-all—and she's the one of the sleekest bags I've seen.
Quit fretting if the previous trends didn't warm you up, because you can always chan'el quilted looks for added warmth and comfort. From coats to hot totties like Emmalina, this controlled cush' helps heat things up.
Richy T. – lip-syncing the National Anthem every Thursday.
1. Hi Monica! How's it going? Thanks for setting some time aside to catch up. What's your average day like working the front desk at ShoeDazzle?
Monica: The pleasure is mine! A typical day consists of greeting guests, answering calls, receiving mail…oh, and feeding the company's pet piranha named Dazzle!
2. Dazzle is a cutie! You started out working in Client Services then transitioned into this role. Describe the major differences.
M: In Client Servcies, I got to work hands-on with clients assisting them with their orders, talking about shoes, and all of the extra good stuff. Now that I'm ShoeDazzle's receptionist, I'm exposed to different fields and aspects of the company. I meet cool new people every day and I'm always keeping busy with various tasks. I do miss working personally with our awesome clients though!
3. We have such great clients. We all really love how we are able to get so personal! Speaking of shoes, what was your first ShoeDazzle purchase?
M: The ever-so-popular, Ciji!
4. Oh, that Ciji! She had to make quite a few comebacks! What are the highlights of your job (aside from all of the great shoes)?
M: On my first day working as the receptionist, I had the pleasure of grabbing Rachel Zoe an iced latte and some English Breakfast tea. It's kind of silly but i would say that had to be one of the best moments of my job everrrrr since I love Rachel Zoe, but it was also nerve-wrecking at the same time since it was my first day.
5. Oh, I bet! We are beyond excited to have her on board as Chief Stylist. So, we heard your boyfriend works for an airline and we're all a little jealous of that. Do you two get to travel everywhere?
M: I guess we like to consider ourselves little jet setters! Occasionally, we fly out and go on one day trips to Vegas just to have lunch. This definitely spices up the average date night!
6. That is definitely not average and we like it. Valentine's Day is coming up. 1. What are you getting your significant other and 2. Are there any special plans in store?
M: Ahh, we're actually not too big on Valentine's Day but I do love to surprise the boyfriend every now and then. I truly believe that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach. He can expect a good meal to come! Will I be cooking for him? Maybe. I do like to play chef in the kitchen while experimenting with a dish or tow.
7. Lucky man! What are some of your beauty must haves?
M: I'm currently obsessed with my Clarisonic I got this past Christmas. Ladies, it is a must! I will never wash my face using my hands again!
8. What are five ways you would describe yourself?
M: Macaron lover. Queen of happy hour. A foodie-enthusiast. Travelista. Bargain-shopper-whore (I'm always looking for a good deal!)
9. The best thing about working in Santa Monica is _____.
M: All of the amazing places to go eat! I get so excited every time lunch comes around. I'm always looking for new places to try.
10. We're lucky to be in such a prime location. Lastly, your current obsession is…
M: I would have to say working out! I've never been much of a gym rat so let's see how long this lasts!
Thanks Monica! I'm sure our readers had just as much fun reading this as we did making this blog post with you!
On Monica: Sabina (coming soon! )

It's always exciting to see a girl who can work an outfit that's bursting with color, and we figure the easiest way to achieve the look is by following the rules of color blocking. Although it seems intimidating to swap out mundane shades such as grays and blues for reds and violets, it's super easy to pull off.
You can either wear one color throughout your outfit in several different shades or combine garments of complementary colors together. Hint: use a color wheel to get the perfect blend of tones.
Get started on your bold ensemble with a few pieces that seem to be made for color blocking like the Kiara and Diane.
Extra, extra: Read all about NewDazzle. The latest layout makes me happy with all its sexy simplicity and a stellar new chief stylist who doesn't know we're about to be best friends. It's "Zoe" going to happen.
A teacher once told me that delayed gratification was the key to scholastic success, but I've learned that anything worth studying is immediately pleasing. That's why we have a new Fix on the daily. Think of it as the Cliffs Notes to current style, discounted temporarily for a starving student budget.
Speaking of which…Recent studies indicate there's no telling what designer styles will show up in your future showrooms. We're kicking access and taking name brands—all up in your Facebook. Starting now, you'll see stuff that's expertly designed by known designers to buy, like, and share. Oh, and devotees will still see plenty of ShoeDazzle originals.
Tag yourself in cohesive collections of stylized footing in our shakin' Boutiques. There, you'll find all the pieces you need to clique with the right trend in the right color way. Bouti' bouti' bouti' bouti' bouti' bouti' bounce. Today I feel like being…(insert fad-ulous fashion trend here).
That was my version of a site tour. You can take the real one here, but I'm relatively certain I covered the basics in a way that would make the bosses cringe.

Bi-directional reflectance properties of the land surface over Canada derived from MODIS multispectral observations at 1-km spatial resolution. 2000-2004Entry ID: Canada_GeoGratis_Bi-dirReflProp
Abstract: The MODIS data are an important component of the Climate Change program as they
provide high quality measurements of fundamental land surface properties of the
Canadian climate system at the national scale. Satellite data are the only
source of information that offers national scale coverage and high frequency
To produce these data we relied on ... MODIS pre-processed data available from NASA
Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC). The original MOD43B1 data set is
available as a set of granules (1200x1200 pixels) in EOS HDF format and ISIN
projection. At the first step, we processed all granules that cover the
Canadian territory and composed them into one large image in Lat./Long.
projection. For the second step, images in the Lat./Long. projection were
re-projected into the LCC (Lambert Conformal Conic) projection. To minimize
re-projection errors, the procedure was applied to super-sampled data using a
3x3 matrix for each pixel with subsequent weighted averaging in order to
preserve the 1 km/pixel spatial resolution.The MODIS data are valuable for many
climate change and environmental applications such as land cover mapping,
vegetation dynamics (Vegetation Indices), Fraction of Photosynthetically Active
Radiation (FPAR), Leaf Area Index (LAI), forest disturbances (insect and forest
fire), snow/ice mapping, radiation budget and cloud and aerosol radiative

France: Anti-Semitism Is 'A Reality That We Must Combat'
Click here to join a discussion about anti-Semitism.
PARIS - A French woman who claimed she suffered an anti-Semitic attack that shocked France told police on Tuesday she made up the incident, a judicial source said.
The 23-year-old woman and her male companion were detained after police called them in to discuss the alleged attack, in which she said six knife-wielding youths of Arab and African origin had daubed swastikas on her stomach on a Paris train.
"She admitted to inventing the whole thing," the judicial source said.
The woman, identified only as Marie L., had alleged the attackers wrongly thought she was a Jew and also toppled a stroller carrying her 13-month-old baby.
When news of Friday's alleged attack emerged, Chirac and other leading French politicians condemned it.
But anti-racism group Mrap criticised officials for being too quick to blame youths of Arab and African origin.
"Mrap strongly condemns the irresponsible comments of people who took advantage of this invention to once more use anti-Semitism as a tool against a specific group of people," it said in a statement.
Government spokesman Jean-Francois Cope told RTL radio a rising trend of anti-Semitic attacks was "a genuine evil" in France, even if the woman's case might not be real.
Whether the woman's account proved true or not, he said, has little bearing on France's need to act against growing intolerance toward minorities and the violence that stems from it.
"The explosion of the number of racist and anti-Semitic acts committed in our country in the last few years is a reality that we must combat," Cope said.
The Interior Ministry released figures last week showing that hate crimes had spiked in the first half of the year. There were 510 anti-Jewish acts or threats in the first six months of 2004 - nearly as many as in all of last year, 593.
Racist attacks were up too: There were 95 attacks and 161 threats through June, compared to 232 total such crimes reported in 2003.
The woman initially told police she was robbed by a gang of six young men, who cut open her shirt with knives, drew swastikas on her body after mistaking her for a Jew and overturned her stroller causing her infant to tumble out. Neither she nor the child were seriously hurt.
The woman also said that none of some 20 witnesses came to her rescue.
Newspapers gave the story front-page prominence Monday with headlines like "The Train of Hate."
On Tuesday, front pages were universally skeptical. "Questions on an attack," blared Liberation, which said the woman's account was full of "gray areas" and "contradictions."
Surveillance cameras at the station where the culprits reportedly left the train showed no young men running from the scene, and none of the alleged 20 witnesses have come forward despite repeated calls from officials and promises of anonymity.
The daily newspaper Le Figaro quoted an unidentified source close to the woman as saying she was a "mythomaniac."

Place we're curious about ... Paris
Posted 18 October 2011 - 09:00 AM
C'est une histoire de l'Espagne, du riz Bomba et des jambes. (de cochon)
I was told to do le menu, mais demander le riz aux langoustines. ("C'est top, mais c'est copieux, Chambo, C'est tres copieux. Il faut avoir faim").
Chambo is still somewhat skeptical.
I was also told the wines were a bit weak, or at least not to this wine freak's preference ("les vins trop corsés"). He has been there a number of times.
I quickly peeked my head in there over the weekend while strolling by. The long, thin space on quai des Grands Augustins seems pretty nice.
Le restaurant parle d'une "riz-volution espagnole" a Paris !
Them's big words. Them's fighting words. Aux armes, oui ! Mais, aux forchettes ??
Should chevalier Chambo put on his armor and engage in battle? Should he raise his mouthfuls standard, race into action and take one for the team ? Or should he maintain his standards and stand pat until further intelligence guarantees that this is a fight worth fighting.
Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Because you won't find Alberto Herraiz's rice dishes over the border. He has pondered over paella for years and has truly developed a style of his own. El Fogon is not exactly a Spanish restaurant in Paris. It is a very Parisian restaurant.
I've not been, but it certainly isn't on my wish list. As I remember, one person I trust recommends it if one insists on tapas and isn't worried about the tab. But, I ask, why would I choose this in Paris? Why not wait until a hop over the border is in order? So my sense is that you should stash the armor and battle-fork for now. IMHO...
This is not to entice you into going there. I hear some mixed reports: some like it, some don't. Last time I was there was one year ago and it was quite good. My son and his girlfriend went there recently for her birthday and loved it, with a special enthusiastic note on dessert.
Also, I rather like the wines.

L'Auberge du 15 is very good. It's an unusual beast. This is totally classic, French cuisine often with recipes from 50 years ago. The chef does some pretty serious shit here at dinner. Silky soups too. Can you say "say grand marnier souffle six fois fast".
They can cook at Cobea. I had an entree de couteaux to kill for. And the lunch and dinner menu degustation is identical. And the chef is in da house for both services. White tablecloths, more serious service - they are aiming more for suits and those who work in the Tour Montparnasse and those denizens of the 14th than kool kats like us. But go, you'll like.
The effers at Fogon wouldn't appropriately seat Chambo on a Sunday night when I attempted to pop in unexpectedly. Their nice front room was full and I rejected their offer to sit in purgatory in the back. There were 3 two-tops empty. There said they were already reserved. I was skeptical. I called their bluff and said it's either the front room or the front door for Chambo. They booted me out of their place. No biggie. I went to Terra de Bellotta and ordered up a simple feast. Gosh, and I thought that I was doing Fogon a favor by frequently them on a Sunday. Who knew ?
I would Neva say neva but I haven't rushed back to Neva. It was good and an excellent addition to the neighborhood. Given the neighborhood it's slightly expensive for lunch and probably a good deal for dinner. I liked it. I didn't love it. But I don't quite think that the chef has to chops too keep it interesting and evolve it. That's my gut feel based on nothing more than slightly more than nothing. She may suffer from La Grande Cascade disease.
I fully accept that Septime rises above Akrame but I can assure you from my 5+ visits that Septime is far from amazing. Example - last time there, I was with 3 people. The menu has 3 starters. Fine, we had them all and I tasted them all. Menu had 2 mains to choose from - mackerel or colvert. No one wanted mackerel. Everyone had colvert. I wasn't missing much on that menu. It was solidly good to very good. That's a solid compliment from Chambo because he uses adjectives appropriately. Modest sized portion. I'm not complaining but I'm not raving either. Go to Septime, yes. I liked the vibe and the energy there and the food. You will too. But don't assume you're going to be amazed or you very well may be disappointed.
I've been to Galopin for lunch. I'll go back for dinner. Gotta choose the right folks to do it with. Rustic, cool, slightly hipster-ish staff (in a low-key and real way, not in a totally annoying wannabe way). They spent zero, I mean zero, on decor. It works because of who they are and all the windows and le quartier. It's what we French foodie professionals call cohérent - il s'accorde avec le quartier. Again, a great addition to the neighborhood. Nice guy, the chef. He's pretty down to earth given his Top Chef fame.
Okay - a quick quiz - and Frenchies are not allowed to take it - and googling not allowed:
Where does the name of restaurant Septime come from ?
Where does the name of restaurant Galopin come from ?

Where does the name of restaurant Galopin come from ?
Quoting from the blog The Paris Kitchen (Wendy-Lyn), "Le Galopin is an interesting name with an equally interesting history. As Mr. B tells it, Most people know it as a 25 cl glass of beer that is thrown back quickly but back in the day a galopin was the midnight rider you dispatched to rush a sealed letter in his coat pocket to your secret lover or, if a restaurant needed more bread or butter etc. all they had to do was step out onto the street and call over the nearest boy (galopin) to race off and get it, with the promise of extra money if he returned swiftly.
Posted 20 September 2012 - 06:51 PM
Just noticed this ... F Y I
Quoting from the blog The Paris Kitchen (Wendy-Lyn), "Le Galopin is an interesting name with an equally interesting history. As Mr. B tells it, Most people know it as a 25 cl glass of beer that is thrown back quickly ...
A Galopin is NOT a 25 cl glass of beer. That's a bock ou un demi.
A Galopin is a 12.5 cl glass of beer in France. (The Swiss are different as usual, but it ain't 25 cl there either.)
And this is not some minor technicality that Chambo is pointing out. This is essential beer (and life) knowledge.
Per (Galopin's chef) Romain, he and friends were knocking back some beers and trying to come up with a name for the resto. Someone floated Le Galopin and it stuck.
Still no guesses for Septime ... I'll tell ya then ...
I brought some friends to Septime a long while ago and during the meal someone asked where the name of the resto comes from. Good question, I thought. I had no idea, but I knew how to find out. I walked over to Bertrand at the pass and had a quick chat :
Bertrand : What's up, Chambo ?
Chambo : Septime, le nom du resto, ca vient d'où ?
Bertrand : Where do you think it comes from ?
Chambo : Aucune idee ... L'Empereur romain ? Pas Romain du Galopin mais l'empereur romain africain.
Bertrand : Who's that ?
Chambo : Septime Sévère. Empereur fin deuxieme, debut troisieme siecle.
Bertrand : (with a chuckle) That's a good guess, Chambo, but an incorrect one. Do you like French films ?
Chambo : (with an indifferent shrug) Pffffff ... ca va. Il y a un ou deux qui n'est pas mal.
And then Bertrand told me about Le Grand Restaurant and its maitre d'. Funny as all hell, that movie, as is de Funès as Septime. (If you understand that last sentence then you understand what I'm talking about. If not, then you got some homework to do ...)
And it's a funny joke that a place like Septime would be named after that Septime.
We don't dine like that anymore !
We don't dine like that Septime did, we dine like today's Septime does.

If you were going to be in Arles, would eating at L'Atelier de Jean-Luc Rabanel be a good idea ? I know it has stars ... but would it be a good idea ?
And if you had a handful of spare meals, where else would you definitely want to hit within ... let's say ... a 50 miles radius ?
You can go a bit outside that circle if it's really worth it.
I've done some but far from all of the options in this neck of the woods. And I'm too time-constrained to research it.
Thoughts ?

Posted 20 September 2012 - 11:39 PM
Grégory de Frenchie supported L'Atelier with a strong and affirmative nod.
would eating at L'Atelier de Jean-Luc Rabanel be a good idea ?
He vigorously recommended La Chassagnette which I had on a "possibly" list.
I will now be calling them tomorrow morning to reserve. (True true true ... I'm not proud ... I'll ask anyone for resto recommendations and I'll do triage.)
Other musts ?
J'écoute ...
Posted 20 September 2012 - 11:48 PM
They blast a hole through the right wall, added 20 seats and a decent sized kitchen.
Gregory was there cooking tonight. He was even taking Chambo's order. He's an extremely nice and unaffected semi-celeb chef.
Shockingly good vis-a-vis my expectations. I was thinking that I might be able to snag a pate de compagne, some charcuterie, some cheeses, etc.
I ate serious food. Chambo likes.
But those high tables and not high enough tabourets make for slightly uncomfortable and awkward eating. Chambo dislikes.
But I'll go back and eat the rest of the menu ... why not ? ... they serve til 11pm ... that's handy in Paris de temps en temps.
Posted 21 September 2012 - 03:28 PM
That's just walk-in, right?

R&B heartthrob Trey Songz appeared on the scene in 2004 with Open the Closet, an answer track to R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet, and hasn't looked back since. His debut album, I Gotta Make It, took the charts by storm, and his second album, Trey Day, earned him his first Grammy nomination with the single "Can't Help But Wait."
His early success led to a collaboration with Drake on the Top 20 hit "Successful" and an opening slot on Jay Z's "Blueprint 3" tour, where Trey Songz concert tickets were sizzling hot. A 10-part documentary series on BET, My Moment, followed Trey on tour as he developed his fourth album, Passion, Pain & Pleasure, featuring the hit single "Bottoms Up" featuring Nicki Minaj.
Songz also collaborated with Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones on a new version of "We Are the World" and appeared in the P. Diddy video for "Your Love."

Al Yanes, president and chairman of PCI-SIG, and Ramin Neshati, chairman of the PCI-SIG Serial Communications Workgroup, addressed the current timeline of PCI Express 3.0 development.
On Wednesday, June 23rd, PCI Express 3.0 revision 0.71 was released. Yanes stated that the 0.71 release marks what is believed to be the resolution of the backward compatibility issues that had caused an initial delay. Neshati described the primary compatibility issue as "DC wandering," which he explained as PCI Express 2.0 and earlier devices "not having enough zeros and ones" to satisfy the demands of the PCI Express 3.0 interface.
Now that the backward compatibility issues are resolved, the PCI-SIG says it is on track for the base release of the 0.9 revision "later this summer." This is expected to be followed by the base release of revision 1.0 in the fourth quarter of this year.
Of course, the most pressing question is when can we can expect to see PCI Express 3.0-based motherboards on store shelves. Neshati stated that he expects to see initial products in the first quarter of 2011 (the "FYI" triangle on the Timeline image).
Neshati added that there would be "no silicon-impacting changes" (the only changes would be software/firmware-related) between revision 0.9 and revision 1.0, which is what will allow some products to start to trickle into the marketplace before the final release of the 1.0 revision. During this time, products will be able to qualify for the PCI-SIG "Integrator's List" (the "IL" triangle), which is PCI-SIG's version of an approval logo.
Neshati jokingly referred to the third quarter of 2011 as the "Fry's and Buy" date (an apparent reference to Frys.com and either Buy.com or Best Buy). This is the time in which we can expect to see a large selection of PCI Express 3.0-based merchandise for sale on the Web and in retail stores.
1tranzz , 3 August 2010 17:39Check out the link to screensavers on page 7 - very cool
1Anonymous , 3 August 2010 22:24The author is missing the point by asking whether the extra bandwidth provided by PCIe 3 is needed right now, because of the lifespan of components and the need for backwards compatibility bandwidth needs to stay a generation ahead of the technology it enables.
In perhaps 2 years time, there will still be a very large number of PCIe 2 motherboards being used, and new technology must still work with those motherboards. And PCIe 3 must provide enough bandwidth for every component that's released until PCIe 4 is on the majority of motherboards
-4chechak , 5 August 2010 02:58PCI Express 3.0 is it needed Right know?
is it stable?
the answer the second half of this year
0daglesj , 5 August 2010 21:38Two words...Market Churn.
I'm still looking for stuff worth installing in all the other PCI Express slots in my motherboard.
All very well building in more and more bandwidth but 99.999% of us aint got nothing to use it with.
Its just another logo to slap on motherboard boxes to shift one over another with PCI-E 2.0 written on it.
0borandi , 5 August 2010 23:52CUDA programmers, especially those working with large amounts of data and data transfer, love bandwidth increases. Good times.
0daglesj , 6 August 2010 00:47Yep the 0.001%.
0wasabi-warrior , 6 August 2010 18:19Well, im all for it. Im guessing that even if the majority dont use it, within 6 months of the release, there will be some crazy motherboard from some company, and some game made just for it. Bandwith increase, bah. Some one will fill the gap soon enough.
0Cogwulf , 6 August 2010 19:21Right now you have to buy a new motherboard to take advantage of a new generation of CPUs. But it's taken for granted that you can buy a top end graphics card and put it in a two year old motherboard and still get the same increase in performance, this is thanks to manufacturers keeping PCI-e a step ahead of other hardware.
If they just increased the bandwidth of PCI-e as it was needed, it would force people to buy a new motherboard every time they buy a new graphics card
0voloda , 8 August 2010 19:56Do we need a PCI-E 3.0 right now is NO! As simply as it sounds the reasons are several.... for example, it would be implemented in high-end MB-s which means it will be overpriced anyway and I doubt that people will switch. Another reason is that even 2 year old PC will be able to run latest APPs and Games on high settings with medium resolution (1650x1080) take my PC for example:
HDD: Samsung F1 750GB
... have not done any upgrades since 2008 and still can run latest apps and games pretty smoothly!
On the other hand remember what happened with UBS1 when it was implemented first, you would find hardly no-one unsing it, but in the long run USB port won anyway. Maybe that will happen with PCI-E 3.0!? Concluding this thought I think that they must not rush the release of PCI-E 3.0! What do you think?
0chainlash , 8 August 2010 20:18yeah maybe christmas 2011 will be a good time to get this
0voloda , 8 August 2010 20:24chainlashyeah maybe christmas 2011 will be a good time to get this

Filmmaker Prakash Jha, whose "Chakravyuh" revolves around Naxalite wars, says he has interacted with Naxalites and tried to showcase both sides of the issue through the new film.
"The message of the film is to understand the whole issue of Naxalites, what happens and why it happens, to bring into the limelight the tragedy, which unfolds everyday. If the problem is diagnosed with an open mind, the solution to this problem will also arise," Jha said on the trailer launch of the film Friday night.
"We have tried to bring out both sides of the situation to the public domain through this film," he added.
Though he supports Naxals' or Maoist rebels' ideology of social equality he isn't in favour of the method they adopt to achieve it.
"I have been meeting Naxalites since years. They are just like us. They want a classless and equal society, something which I support. I don't support the method which they adopt in order to achieve their goal," he said.
The film has been shot in Bihar and the entire schedule was wrapped up in about 57 days. Slated for Oct 24 release, "Chakravyuh" features Arjun Rampal, Abhay Deol, Manoj Bajpayee, Kabir Bedi, Esha Gupta, Anjali Patil and Om Puri.
Talking about the cast of his film, Jha said: "When we spoke about the issue, we immediately thought of Arjun for the role of Adil Khan. I called him up and blocked his dates immediately. For Abhay, we needed someone vulnerable. I was lucky enough to get Abhay as he was already shooting for a film at that time."
"For the roles played by Esha and Anjali, we thought of many people and we needed someone young. When you see the film, you will not think of the cast at all and will enjoy the film," he said.

Volunteer firefighter charged with Dupont arson
State police have charged a volunteer fireman with arson for allegedly torching a home on Main Street, Dupont, on Dec. 10.
David C. Donnora, 23, of Highway 315, Pittston, was charged with arson, reckless burning and criminal mischief.
State police say Donnora was among the firefighters who responded to the fire at 215 Main St. around 6:50 a.m. In fact, he was the first firefighter to arrive at the station when 911 dispatched fire crews to the blaze, arrest papers said.
Arrest papers say a state police fire marshal became suspicious while investigating the fire because Donnora "was following him, taking interest in what he was doing."
Fire Marshal Ron Jarocha, who eventually ruled the fire arson, asked firefighters what they thought occurred and Donnora offered "evasive" answers, arrest papers say.
Jarocha interviewed other firefighters, who live close to the fire station, and they said Donnora was the first fireman to arrive for the call and was almost done suiting up before they arrived.
In an initial interview, Donnora told police he responded so quickly because he was on his way to the gym when the fire call came out. During a follow-up interview, Donnora admitted to setting the fire when investigators advised him they believed he set the blaze, state police say.
Donnora was arraigned Wednesday by on-duty Magisterial District Judge David Barilla, who released Donnora on $25,000 unsecured bail.
Donnora will appear for a preliminary hearing Dec. 26 at 1 p.m. in front of Senior Magisterial District Judge Andrew Barilla in Pittston.

Hearn believes the London Legacy Development Corporation has broken its own rules in not allowing the League One club to be 'teamed' with the Hammers in the bidding process.
Hearn, who wants his own club and the Hammers to become joint tenants of the £429million stadium, has repeated his claim that the Os will have no future if the Hammers move in.
Hearn told his club's official website: "I was concerned that this was a done deal for West Ham before the bidding began, but the fact that both clubs had to commit to teaming made me believe that we were getting involved in a fair process.
"However, the LLDC have not stuck by their own rules and have left Orient with no option but to challenge their decision in the Courts.
"We don't intend to interfere with West Ham's residency at the stadium, but maintain the position that if they are going to be there, then we need to be there too.
"As I have said many times before, if West Ham move to the stadium and we are left a mile up the road, Leyton Orient will not survive."

Colicchio Plans New Restaurant for Next Year
Plus, more good news from the Don.
During a conversation with Eater, Tom Colicchio calls B.S. on Frank Bruni teasing him for picking up the phone while in his open kitchen ("Big deal. I could be calling a supplier"), reveals that Damon Frugal Fridays were discontinued because it was priced too cheaply (Tom Tuesday Dinner, meanwhile, continues on and is still just as hard to score a seat at), and without offering details, says that he's planning a TTD-esque restaurant for next year. More good news: He says his business has been up since October, and it seems to be the case with others, too.

First, I want to comment on how great this site is. It's been a great resource so far.
I've started cycling for these reasons:
1) I'm training to climb Mt. Rainier and running isn't good on my clydesdale frame (6'2" 245lbs)
2) My pickup truck is aging fast and I don't want to replace it with another car
3) I was an auto mechanic for the better part of 10 years and I harbor a passionate hatred of cars
4) I like how simple bicycles are compared to other modes of transportation
My ride of choice is a 2006 Specialized Allez triple. The LBS gave me a deal on it and i'm sure it'll make for a nice commuter.
I'm also interested in bike mechanics. My project bike is a Specialized Allez M2 Comp. I'm unsure on what to turn it into.
Thanks again for the great site!

Colombian women fined, ordered deported for illegal entry
Four Colombian women, who entered Guyana illegally, were yesterday fined $30,000 or six months' imprisonment each and ordered deported.
Appearing before Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrate's Court were Nilly Dallaray Murillo Silva who entered Guyana at Charity, Essequibo on October 10, 2012; Diana Rivasquerrero who entered on August 14, 2012, at Lethem; Patricia Quinones who arrived on October 8, 2012, at Charity and Gladys Solis Cuero who also entered via Charity on January 2, 2013. According to the charges, none of the women presented themselves to an immigration office.
The quartet pleaded guilty to the charges.
Attorney-at-law Paul Fung-a-Fat who represented the women asked that they be deported to Colombia since none of them had the money to get themselves home.
The magistrate then fined the women, with the alternative of six months' imprisonment if they are unable to pay the fines and subsequent deportation.

The Threat of Hydraulic Fracturing Waste By Michelle Kanu • Apr 5, 2013 Listen Listening... / The fracking process used to extract natural gas has been vilified for the millions of gallons of fresh water it uses, and the amount of waste water it produces. But drilling also generates leftover dirt, rocks, and mud that gets trucked off to landfills. Many people have raised concerns about the potential contaminants in that dirt, and whether it poses an environmental threat.

Looks really cool in my engine compartment and sounds great when I lay on the throttle. Can't say I noticed and performance or gas mileage increase. Im going to add a throttle body spacer and see if that helps .The fact that it is reusable and looks cool makes it worth the purchase.

Product is real nice but the gasket that is supplied with the spacer had the mounting holes punched incorrect. Had to modify the gasket to fit. Other than that its a easy bolt on. Should have come with info on placement of spacer had to call about it, was told part number on spacer faces out.

Avatar - America's new superhero...Cenex Guy
This is really desperate on his part. Perhaps it was Dallas' **** poor defense that cost them the series. Maybe it was Dirk playing like a chump. Maybe it was their horrible play on the road. Maybe Nellie knows that team like the back of his hand and Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis played steller.
Nope, it was "confidential information."
Maybe Cuban shouldn't have let Nellie go so unceremoniously.
I doubt that Nellie has ever had a better feeling than beating his old team.
