Labour Space: A National Conversation for England
Readers of Little Man in a Toque are cordially invited to join me over at LabourSpace in campaigning for A National Conversation for England.
'A National Conversation for England' is a campaign that urges people to engage positively in discussion on the question of England: our national identity, our democracy, our governance, our future. We call for a government consultation of, and for, the people of England, so that we - the people - can determine the form of government best suited to our needs.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a state in flux. Just as unionists in 1921 were forced to rethink the logical territorial boundaries of the Union (with the secession of the Irish Free State) today's unionists are coming to terms with nationalist governments in Scotland and Wales, and new territorial limitations on the extent of Westminster power. For the Scots and Welsh devolution has proved a liberating experience, invigorating national life, political debate and their national sense of self.
For the English it is becoming increasingly apparent that devolution to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland has moved power away from Westminster in a manner that has damaged English voters, and public consultations in Wales and Scotland threaten to further weaken the Union parliament and our sense of Britishness.
In Wales the 'All Wales Convention', a cross-party initiative, is looking at extending legislative competence to the Welsh Assembly. In Scotland the SNP Government is conducting a 'National Conversation' to enable the people of Scotland to 'decide Scotland's constitutional future', with the aim of bringing forward a referendum on independence or enhanced devolved powers. And alongside the Scottish Government's initiative there is the 'Calman Commission', a unionist cross-party consultative body, tasked with reviewing the present constitutional arrangements to enable the Scottish Parliament to better serve the people of Scotland (within the union).
Not to be outdone by the peripheries the government at Westminster has launched a 'Governance of Britain' initiative to 'help us define what it means to be British', an initiative that may well result in a British Bill of Rights and various policies to strengthen our feeling of Britishness.
But what about England; what about our feeling of Englishness? Unlike the other nations of the United Kingdom we have been offered no national consultation, nor a referendum, on how we wish to be governed. None are planned, nor even proposed. Instead we watch as our partner nations in the Union are consulted again and again, with the indulgence of the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties, with a view to further referenda which may again alter the very nature, balance and working of the Union state.
So in light of devolution and the growth in English national feeling, how should England be governed?
I believe that we - England - deserve a say because democracy works within defined territories: A contract of trust between citizens and politicians on a defined national community – we can elect you, we can remove you – is fundamental to a democracy.
Devolution to all parts of the United Kingdom except England has redefined England politically, once again, as a defined political territory…but only negatively. In a political, constitutional, sense England exists only as that part of Britain which is governed entirely from London, by the UK Government; that part of the union with no national voice and no legitimate political means of articulating its feeling of nationhood. England is the vacuum at the centre of our asymmetrically devolved family of nations, and nature abhors a vacuum.
2009 is the bicentenary of Tom Paine's death, and as such this year is the perfect anniversary for the people of England to assert "We the people", in the spirit of the Founding Fathers. It is time for the people of England to make claim to popular sovereignty; a nation not divided by ethnicity, class, geography and religion; but united as a national community, to discuss what England means to us and to determine our common future, whether inside the Union, or – if Alex Salmond gets his way - outside.
To begin with I propose an English equivalent of Scotland's Calman Commission, to be tasked with gathering evidence from around England, with a view to making recommendations to the Government on 'The English Question' – the question of how England should be governed. Following on from that an English Constitutional Convention should be established along with a Royal Commission on the Governance of England to bring forward proposals to the UK Government.
Ultimately resolution of the English Question will be determined by the people of England through a nation-wide referendum.

[edit] Background
Mr. Burns has taken over the Springfield public transit system and raised the cost of a bus ticket to $100! Choose one of your favorite Simpsons characters and set out driving around Springfield picking up people and taking them to the places they want to go. You're rewarded with cash depending on how fast you deliver your fares to their destinations.
[edit] Features
- Over 25 Simpson characters, featuring animations and unique relationships with other characters, are behind the wheel or wandering the streets of Springfield begging for a ride. "The fools will destroy the city. EXCELLENT."
- Bonus System rewards players of all skill levels and lets players choose which characters and cars they want to unlock. "Mmmmm bonus cars."
- Interactive worlds provide an intensely busy community environment alive with traffic and pedestrian interaction that adds to commuters' road rage. "This is a rhubarb of a pickle of a jam."
- Two player split screen action lets you beat your opponent in a race for the next passenger, or steal their passenger mid-ride! "Eat my shorts, dude."
- Sunday Driving Mode lets you pick up passengers and explore the city at a leisurely pace. "Don't have a cow, man."
- Car Physics feature wild jumps, powerslides, speed-starts and 2-wheel leans, all done with a simple arcade-style 2 button interface! Cruise throughhills, jumps, mountains, forests, and time-saving short-cuts. "Cowabunga!"
- Intuitive menus and in-game interface make this game easy to get in and play right away. As Homer would say, "If it's hard to do, it's not worth doing!"

Thy's Group
This is the first-cycle loan for Thy and third loan for his joint borrower with VisionFund (Kiva's partner); they are each seeking the same loan amount of 1,000,000 KHR each. As the leader, he will spend his loan portion to pay the plowing fee and to buy corn seeds. He strongly hopes that he will gain a good yield.
Additional Information
About VisionFund CambodiaVisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.
Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Usually when people talk about a movie feeling "European," it's not exactly a compliment. It's shorthand for languid pacing, character-based drama, maybe a few casually naked boobs and a general lack of Hollywood conventionality. The American feels very much like the product of people who want to make a "European"-style movie — except that they forgot to pay attention to the last word in that equation.
George Clooney plays a mysterious fellow — maybe his real name is Jack, maybe it's Edward, maybe neither — but you get a sense right away for why he's hard to pin down. Jack/Edward is a shadowy operative who sometimes kills people, and sometimes serves as the machinist creating specialized weaponry for someone else to do the dirty work.
After killers track him down in the Swedish wilderness, he flees to Italy and begins his latest assignment. Will it be his last — either by his own choice, or someone else's?
The opening sequence does a remarkably efficient job of setting up Jack/Edward's ruthlessness, and director Anton Corbijn (Control) builds tension through simple staging and spare use of orchestral score. Clooney's performance provides a strong foundation for the enigmatic character, whose body language and darting eyes capture a guy who's clearly expecting trouble around every corner.
But apparently he wasn't expecting it from the screenplay. Rowan Joffe, adapting Martin Booth's novel A Very Private Gentleman, eventually wallows in obviousness in his story about a killer searching for his soul. Jack/Edward begins chatting with a kindly priest (Paolo Bonacelli); he falls for a prostitute (Violante Placido). And both the tattoo on his back and later dialogue show us that our dangerous anti-hero is actually sensitive enough to be fascinated with butterflies.
Even all those casually naked boobs and occasional gunshots can't liven up the general tedium of a movie trying so hard to be oh so European. Grade: C-plus

A little over 11 years ago, I rescued a little Bengal kitten tossed into the street who did not live up to the expectations of the breeder (no spots). I hand raised from around 2 1/2- 3 weeks old and kept him as I grew very fond and attached to him with his multiple spots that came out slowly. I regret to inform you all of his very quick passing from HCM or a kitty heart attack with no warning of any kind at 3 o'clock in the morning. Since I was a Bengal owner with no guidance of any kind from a breeder (obviously), I was not aware of this genetic problem in these cats. If you have such a cat-get it tested. Even so, there is no guarantee that this will do much in prevention.
But I still post it everywhere in case someone else needs to know-even on the Bicycle Forums.

RUPESH ATMARAM Jadhav works at the Adidas showroom in Phoenix Mills, Lower Parel, Mumbai. He is thankful for his job that arrived at a time when his computer science diploma course wasnt fetching him a decent income. I was only getting jobs that offered not more than Rs 3,000-Rs 4,000. I had hoped my diploma would help me get at least Rs 10,000, he says with the determined tone of being cheated.
Growing up in Virar and Kandivali, Jadhav attended government schools. He believed engineering was the best option to get a job, but wasnt interested in academics.
He took up science in Class XII because of family pressure, but failed his exams and finally opted for arts through an open university.
His father, a peon at the Central Bank of India, had died, and his eldest brother replaced him at the job. Jadhav started work at a xerox shop in Vasai, earning Rs 1,500 a month. Many jobs and a failed lottery business made him realise hed need a diploma to enter the job market. Mushrooming malls in the city was a cue to plunge into retail.
When Jadhav started, four years ago, he got a salary of Rs 5,000. He has worked his way up to earn Rs 20,000- Rs 25,000 a month.
Peak sale seasons commissions come close to Rs 37,000. His salary depends on his performances, and is not always a fixed monthly sum.
For someone with below-average academic merit, he believes there is no better place than sales in the retail industry. I have tried different options, but nothing could undo my academic failings. This is the best I could have got, he says.
For Jadhav, this meant honing his communication skills, even if his English isnt perfect. An orientation with Adidas has equipped him with product and technical know-how, essential to make a pitch, making him part of a group of specially trained salespeople called Aditechi. This methodical approach makes him feel like a professional, and not just a salesman. Many of our products require technical explanations. When I can convince a customer to buy a product, it feels very good, he says.
He married his girlfriend last month and is proud that he could contribute Rs 2.5 lakh to the wedding expenses. But the uncertainty of the retail industry, and the fear of it reaching saturation, has

Sunday's Tyne-Wear derby hit the headlines for some utterly disgraceful fan violence, but before the match there was nothing but high spirits and jaunty melodies as Sunderland supporters travelled to the game.
Black Cats midfielder Craig Gardner was suspended after picking up his tenth yellow card of the season, but tweeted his intention to cheer the team with the fans a few days before the short trip to Newcastle. The former England U21 kept his word, and even made the journey to St James' Park on the Tyne and Wear Metro system. Just like a normal person!
When Gardner was spotted on the train among the proles, he was naturally asked to lead a chant. He immediately responded with an ode to new manager Paolo Di Canio, who led Sunderland to a surprise 3-0 victory later in the day.
Perhaps he is one of the 99% of Premier League footballers who have driving bans, or maybe he is also suspended from riding the team bus (did he break the "no number twos" rule?) but this will do nothing to harm his reputation with the Black Cats' faithful.

Centipede (2004) Movie Review
I liked this campy sci fi creature feature about a group of explorers trapped in the depths of a cave in India. It was fun and unpredictable with a satisfying ending. The location was interesting and, while the creature was a bit retro, it worked for this film. I would recommend "Centipede" to anyone who loves this genre.

Some U.S. progressives are supporting a move by Icelandic politicians to nominate alleged WikiLeaks collaborator Bradley Manning for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Manning was nominated for the prestigious prize by The Movement of Icelandic Parliament, a group of politicians in Iceland dedicated to empowering grassroots activism.
Critics already were blasting U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for saying the Republican Party's top goal during the next two years should be to ensure President Obama doesn't win a second term. But a recent revelation has some people stating McConnell is guilty of crass politicking and hypocrisy involving American troops.
The local chapter of the Coffee Party political movement will hold a rally Saturday to commemorate the eighth anniversary of the Iraq War, and call for reallocating war funds to a more useful domestic purpose.
The event, entitled the Patriotic American Peace Rally, will be held from 1-3 p.m. at downtown's Fountain Square. It will feature various speakers including an Iraq war veteran, along with live music.
As far as conservatives go, I can tolerate columnist George Will and often enjoy reading his work. Unlike most of what passes as conservatism today, Will tends to base his arguments on logic and fact, not emotion and rhetoric.
Making him even more of an anomaly in Republican circles, Will acknowledges and corrects his errors, when he makes them. As an added bonus, he's also a deft wordsmith.
Despite his many years in office, Congressman Steve Chabot (R-Westwood) could stand to take a few pointers from Will. Chabot, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, spoke during a hearing Wednesday about his concerns with a total withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq by year's end.
Supporters of low income housing programs are criticizing a bill proposed by U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Westwood). Chabot's proposal would impose restrictions on people who use the federal Section 8 housing program, which provides vouchers to help poor people pay their rent. Among his changes, people only would be able to use the program for five years. In Cincinnati, however, 53 percent of clients already leave the program within five years. Of the 47 percent who remain, many of them have problems like mental health issues and likely would become homeless and more expensive to deal with for the government, a housing advocate told The Enquirer.
To prepare for an influx of foreign visitors when the World Choir Games begin here in July, a new language translation tool is being launched. Cincinnati-based Globili is testing its text and mobile application for cellphones and smartphones that translates signs, menus and ads into about 50 languages. The event will be held July 4-14 at various locations in downtown and Over-the-Rhine including the Aronoff Center for the Arts and Music Hall.
It's been 147 years since the U.S. Civil War ended, but Kentucky lawmakers are just now getting around to abolishing a pension fund for Confederate veterans. The measure, which passed Kentucky's House of Representatives unanimously on Feb. 29, now heads to the state Senate for a vote. No one who is eligible to receive the pension has been alive for at least 50 years, lawmakers said. I guess things really do move more slowly in the South.
Business at the venerable Blue Wisp Jazz Club has increased since it moved to a new location at Seventh and Race streets in January. The club's owners attribute the jump to more pedestrian traffic and the number of hotels located near the new site. The front room includes a bar and restaurant accessible with no cover charge, while the back room is reserved for performances by Jazz musicians.
Steep spikes and drops on standardized test scores, a pattern that has indicated cheating in Atlanta and other cities across the nation, have occurred in hundreds of school districts and charter schools across Ohio in the past seven years, a Dayton Daily News analysis found. The analysis doesn't prove cheating has occurred in Ohio, but documents show state officials don't employ vigorous statistical analyses to catch possible cheating, discipline only about a dozen teachers a year and direct Ohio's test vendor to spend just $17,540 on analyzing suspicious scores out of its $39 million annual testing contract.
In news elsewhere, the U.S. Supreme Court begins its constitutional review of the health-care overhaul law today with a basic question: Is the court barred from making such a decision at this time? The justices will hear 90 minutes of argument about whether an obscure 19th-century law — the Anti-Injunction Act — means that the court cannot pass judgment on the law until its key provisions go into effect in 2014.
When it recently was announced that a U.S. soldier who allegedly went on a shooting spree in Afghanistan would be charged with 17 counts of murder, many people wondered about the number. After all, early reports indicated Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, a Norwood native, allegedly killed 16 people. Military officials decided to charge Bales with murder for the death of the unborn baby of one of the victims, a senior Afghan police official said today.
In a possibly related incident, a gunman in an Afghan army uniform killed two NATO soldiers today at a base in southern Afghanistan, NATO's International Security Assistance Force has said. Details were still sketchy, but NATO said in a statement that an individual wearing an Afghan soldier's uniform had turned his weapon against international troops. Coalition forces then returned fire, killing the gunman.
China and the United States have agreed to coordinate their response to any "potential provocation" if North Korea goes ahead with a planned rocket launch, the White House says. North Korea says the long-range rocket will carry a satellite, but U.S. officials say any launch would violate United Nations resolutions and be a missile test.
Somehow, 71-year-old Dick Cheney managed to get a heart transplant Saturday after spending nearly two years on a list waiting for a suitable organ to become available. Cheney, a former U.S. vice president and — some would say — unindicted war criminal, got the transplant even as much younger, healthier people continue to wait for a new heart. (My guess is he made a pact with Beelzebub.) Cheney has had five heart attacks over the years, the first occurring at age 37.
Activists gathered on Thursday outside of the West Chester office of U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, asking the House's top official to look at reducing military spending when coming up with a budget.
The group of nearly two dozen — which included nuns, a veteran, a retiree advocate, a small businessman and progressive activists — held signs reading, "It is time for Nation Building in the United States. Cut Massive Pentagon Budget Now!" and "End Tax Breaks for Richest 2%."
"We're here today in front of Speaker of the House John Boehner's West Chester office to drive home the fact that we believe that over 50 percent of the budget magically, this elephant in the House, has failed to be discussed as we discuss taking away services that provide human needs," said David Little of Progress Ohio.
"Any discussion that fails to address excesses in that budget is failing the American people."
Little added that it was possible to support the troops and veterans without spending billions on pointless wars.
Butler County attorney and Navy veteran Bruce Carter said the military can be more efficient in what he called the changing mission.
"When you refuse to have a discussion on over half of the budget, that's like trying to tell the Bengals to win a game without going over the 50 yard line," he said.
The group had a letter to deliver to Boehner, which contained what they called a statement of principles.
"We believe in a holistic approach to the budget crisis, and in order to protect the middle-class, cuts to the Pentagon need to be at the forefront," the letter states. "We understand that Pentagon cuts are a controversial issue, however, Pentagon cuts in the sequester do not threaten our national security."
The letter suggests that some of the money currently being spent on the Defense Department goes to providing services for veterans.
The military accounted for about 52 percent — or $600 billion — of discretionary spending in fiscal year 2011.
In contrast, education, training and social services collectively made up 9 percent of the budget.
The group of four activists weren't allowed into Boehner's office, but a young staffer met them outside. He said that the speaker thought everything should be on the table when it came to budget cuts.

My rare flats, every 1000 miles or so come when I start a new commute. I then search out a cleaner road even if it takes longer to get to the new job.
This space open
I can go a year or two without a flat and then have a run of them on different wheels and different bikes. Usually at times when I'm running late and it's raining.
This thread makes me feel superstitious, though. I don't know why I even offered an answer. I'll let you know if I get a flat this week and will definitely blame my participating in this thread as the culprit.
There's your answer.
Since switching to Four Seasons there have been no flats here either.
It seems to be a harder compound that does not pick up glass much which, of course, means there is nothing working it's way through the tires to the tubes.
There are a few cuts, down to the belts, from hitting larger stuff. Nothing has gotten all the way through yet.

I think I got some IRC fat knobbie tire and pobably some IRC tubes I think. Everything is pretty much stock from the bike store. I still carry a spare tube just incase seeing how I broke the 1000km mark a while ago and the bike shop last week said my stock chain still has lots of life left on it but I'd rather carry extras then get stuck out 50km out in the zone without a LBS around or worst, stuck in the bad areas.
I'd definately stick some self sealing tubes if I get my tire non-repairable flat and change the tires when they're worn out to punchture resistant tires and back it up with some puncture resistant liner tape so if you had to go Mad Max you know your tires will carry you home.
My other bike so far has only had one flat and that was a pinch. So far nothing els ei swrong so I'm happy. I probably would guess I get 0-1 flat a year.

Home > Old Lahaina Luau
It is believed by many that the Old Lahaina Luau is not only the very best luau on Maui, but actually in the entire state of Hawaii as well. The Old Lahaina Luau has been a tradition on Maui for years now, and as a testimony to its quality is almost always sold out. Not just sold out, but sold out for days and even weeks in advance. Their location is not at a hotel with a backdrop of hotels rooms behind you, but instead is located right on the beach in the area called Mala in Lahaina. Its only function there is to perform luaus, and it has perfected this to an art form. There are modest groups of visitors at this luau as compared to most as they only accommodate about four-hundred people, which is small in comparison to other luaus. The entertainment at this luau is also different in the sense that it all deals with the culture of old Hawaii rather than other cultures. The show is permeated with Hawaiian chants and traditional songs and dances. Many of the dancers were trained in local "hulau's" where they have learned the art of hula and other dances. This luau is as close as you will find to a luau that attempts to continue the traditions and culture of Old Hawaii.
If you're coming to the islands for a visit this is a "must book early". The program is informative as well as entertaining; beginning with the Kahiko (ancient) hula accompanied by chanting and ancient style instruments and continuing on to each era in Hawaiian history.

this will be fun!
mark my words this is setting up for a nice move.i bought more this am,low downside risk , very good upside potential.would have to be crazy to short this now.
tic tac .. tic tac .. tic tac .. tic tac ..
your ignorance is greatly overshadowed by your entertainment value!Hold it 'til $20...you'll be in the hole AGAIN!
IPIX still a good short here. Mags basing. (Put time window at 100 days or so)http://stockcharts.com/webcgi/perf.html?IPIX,MAGS,TBUS,IMX,visg
how do you figure,lowest volume in weeks.this is consolidation on low volume in a tight trading range.if anything the selling is getting exhausted.
You are exactly right! Every time it sinks below $14 and then pops back above, more of the "not-so-smart shorts" get the picture and take their capital elsewhere.(unless they are on can 'o whipass' list)

A Gourmet Lunchbox
What three top chefs make for their kids
The Lunchbox Burger
Alex Young, Zingerman's Roadhouse, Ann Arbor, Mich.
"My son loves burgers, so I pack him one Roadhouse-style: with ground beef shoulder, heirloom tomatoes, homemade mayo and an onion roll from our bakehouse—and serve it cold, like a meatloaf sandwich."
To prepare: Season ¼ pound ground beef shoulder with sea salt and black pepper. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Place patty in pan and cook 5 minutes on each side, or until slightly pink in center, flipping once. Remove burger from pan, let come to room temperature, then wrap and refrigerate until cool. Sandwich in a soft roll with a thick slice of tomato, onion and a slathering of mayonnaise.
Pack with: Carrot sticks with buttermilk dressing, an apple and an oatmeal cookie.
Spanish-Style Veggie Rice
Bill Telepan of Telepan, New York; executive chef for the non-profit Wellness in Schools
"My daughter and I make this hearty and healthy dish together. She loves the stickiness of the rice and the robust flavor. It can also be bulked up with shredded pork or chicken, in which case it becomes arroz con pollo."
To prepare: In a medium saucepan, saute ½ cup chopped broccoli, ¼ cup trimmed green beans and ¼ cup diced red pepper in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until soft. Add a pinch of salt and 2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth to the pan and bring to a boil; then stir in 1 cup long grain rice. Reduce heat, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Pack with: A salad of black beans, onion and tomato, and orange slices.
Albacore Sandwich With Sriracha Mayo
Traci Des Jardins of Jardinière in San Francisco
"Sriracha mayo gives this twist on the classic tuna sandwich a spicy kick that my son loves and zests up what might otherwise be standard fare."
To prepare: In a small bowl, use the tines of a fork to flake apart 1 small piece medium to medium-rare tuna (leftovers work great) or canned albacore. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise, a squirt of sriracha sauce (approximately ½ teaspoon or to taste) and a squeeze of lime juice. Spread tuna generously on a slice of sourdough bread, top with thinly sliced celery, red onion and lettuce. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, season with salt and pepper and top with another slice of bread.
Pack with: Cucumber with miso and roasted seasoned seaweed.

Sudan / Abyei: Continuing clashes cause increasing displacement

Violence between armed groups belonging to the Misseriya ethnic group and the predominantly Dinka Ngok police and security forces has increased in recent weeks in the contested north-south border region of Abyei. Abyei has witnessed continuing violence since a referendum on the future of the oil-producing region failed to go ahead in January.
According to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), tens of thousands of civilians have either been displaced by fighting or have fled due to fear of further attacks. The authorities in Abyei and humanitarian NGOs have struggled to respond. The state government of Western Bahr el Ghazal has handed over food items to the administration of Abyei, to support its efforts to assist IDPs and particularly vulnerable groups affected by the clashes.

Deepak's Upgrade to God 2.0
In the ABC Nightline debate between myself and Sam Harris v. Deepak Chopra and Jean Houston, Deepak read quotes from Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking indicating that they believe in God. I pointed out that both scientists stated quite clearly that they do not believe in God. Deepak responded that of course they (and he, Deepak) don't believe in the old white male bronze-age god of the Bible, and that we need to upgrade our ideas about god to include the findings of modern science, especially physics, most notably quantum physics. In response to this, one of my cycling training partners named Stephen Beckner outlined the best summary I have seen of what Deepak is proposing. Stephen writes me:
I finally got around to watching your debate with Deepak over at abc.com. Chopra has improved his debating skills a little over time, or perhaps it's better to say his tactics have evolved. His method is to attempt to make the skeptics appear stodgy and intransigent. In a brilliant turn of the tables, suddenly it's you who's stuck in the "dungeon of orthodoxy". He subtly invites his opponent to actually explain why his interpretations of quantum mechanics are wrong. But if the opponent steps into that trap, the audience will find the ensuing cascade of jargon alienating. They will feel stupid, and blame the skeptic. In light of this, I was inspired to create a visual aid for the next time you or Sam debate with him. This chart will help the audience to understand what Deepak really means when he speaks of God.
Deepak, if you read this, please let us know if this is, indeed, pretty much what you mean by upgrading our notions of the deity.
Upgrade to the all new version of God. Key improvements include the following:
GOD (beta version) GOD 2.0
Omnipresent Non-Local
Supernatural Anti-Matter
Hell Dark Matter
Eternity Space/Time Continuum
Holy Trinity Particle/Wave Duality
Leap of Faith Quantum Leap
10 Commandments E = MC2
Council Of Rome Copenhagen Interpretation
Peter's Denial Quantum Erasure
Judas' Kiss Decoherence
Parting of the Sea Sea of Consciousness
Loaves and Fishes Quarks and Bosons
Apostles String Theorists
Money Changers Quants
Burning Bush Roadside IED
Godhead General Relativity
Reincarnation Special Relativity
Karma Quantum Entanglement
Deepak (and anyone else), please feel free to reconfigure the God 2.0 chart as you think best.

Concrete Construction and The Concrete Producer presented the Most Influential People of 2013 on Tuesday afternoon at the World of Concrete. These seven individuals and one company represent the progress that we continue to make in the concrete industry. CC editor Bill Palmer introduced Anne Ellis, current ACI President; Bill Klorman, Klorman Concrete; Bill Phelan, Euclid Chemical; Bruce Suprenant, American Society of Concrete Contractors; and Bob Weatherton, The Concrete Pump Store. (see page 46 for more on each of these people). Palmer described why each was chosen—what they had accomplished that advanced the industry and improved contractors' lives.
Rick Yelton, TCP editor, introduced the most influential chosen this year by The Concrete Producer. This included David Biggs, Biggs Consulting Engineering, for his work on BIM for masonry; Central Concrete, represented by Mike Donovan and Jeff Davis, for developing an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) for ready-mixed concrete; and Jason Weiss, Purdue University, for his research on lightweight aggregate for internal curing of concrete.
At a special presentation that followed, Concrete Construction and the American Concrete Pavement Association, recognized Bob Weatherton's contributions to the concrete pumping industry and to the World of Concrete. Big Bob helped to start the WOC in 1975 and has been to every show since. There might never have been a World of Concrete without him, let alone a 40-year anniversary.

I was on a keto diet for two months while training six days a week (total of 8-10 training sessions per week) and I was fine. I felt like the only hard part was the first 48 hours or so when your body is not yet in ketosis. Extra weight dropped off like a charm and I was surprised how much energy I had in training. I think that when you're on a ketogenic diet, it becomes much more important to time your pre-workout meal right and you need to eat plenty of healthy fats (for example, nuts) before a workout to ensure you have enough fuel to train. When I finally had cut off the extra weight and I found out that I didn't get an opponent in my weight class, I started to load up on carbs every weekend to put on weight. I felt absolutely rejuvenated every monday after the load up and I had no problem "surviving" the approx. 48 hours required before your body goes to ketosis.
There's also different type of a keto diet that some people use, where they load up on carbs before a workout then go zero carb again until their next pre-workout meal, but can't say much about it because I haven't tried.
I have to say though, that eating a basic meal and making sure you hit your macronutrient goals is an easier and simpler way to manage your diet. Atleast for me the keto diet was very demanding to keep up and allows no room for mistakes or cheating, because once you drop out of ketosis, youre out of energy to train.
My definition of a clean diet is pretty much like the one on the "nutrition for boxing"-sticky:
- Plenty of water
- Avoid refined sugar and fast food
- Try to keep the processed food to a minimum and eat natural, whole foods instead
- Plenty of vegetables, some fruit and berries - especially deeper green vegetables such as broccoli, spinach and asparagus
- If/when you need filler carbohydrates, try to eat the lower gi-variations, such as brown rice, whole wheat pasta and the likes and avoid things such as white rice, french fries and processed wheat flour pastas etc.
I think that pretty much sums up how a clean diet looks like imo.

What is the treatment for a pinched nerve?
The treatment of a pinched nerve depends upon the location and the cause. Resting the affected area is often very effective, especially in cases of injury caused by repetitive activities. Physical therapy is frequently beneficial when a pinched nerve is caused by problems in the neck or low back. Exercises may strengthen the back or core muscles and decrease or eliminate pressure on a nerve root. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen and naproxen may be helpful. Injections of corticosteroids (an anti-inflammatory medication) may also be beneficial for many types of pinched nerves.
For cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, splinting or bracing the wrist is often used. In cases of ulnar neuropathy or common peroneal neuropathy, learning to change body positions may be required to achieve the best outcome.
Weight loss can be of benefit for many types of pinched nerves.
Surgery may be required to release pressure on the nerve if it fails to respond to medication, splinting, physical therapy, or injections. The specific type of surgery depends upon the nerve involved. However, the goal of the surgery is the same, to eliminate or relieve the pressure on the affected nerve. Continue Reading

Waxing a DC board
Hi lads,
I've just bought the DC PBJ, took it for a spin, sick board for rails for sure!
Only one concern, how do you wax and scrape a base like that? It's got these little dents in it wich is supposed to be like a golfball and make you go faster, but if I wax my board isn't all of the wax gonna get in those dents and if I scrape it how do I get it out of there? :')
It's a gimmick, just wax as normal.
3 Attachment(s)
Well it's not a gimmick. But yes you just wax and scrape as normal. Any of the extra in the dimples will just kinda rub off in a couple runs.
an ingenious or novel device, scheme, or stratagem, esp. one designed to attract attention or increase appeal.
a concealed, usually devious aspect or feature of something, as a plan or deal: An offer that good must have a gimmick in it somewhere.
a hidden mechanical device by which a magician works a trick or a gambler controls a game of chance.
Electronics Informal . a capacitor formed by intertwining two insulated wires.
verb (used with object)
to equip or embellish with unnecessary features, esp. in order to increase salability, acceptance, etc. (often fol. by up ): to gimmick up a sports car with chrome and racing stripes.
verb (used without object)
to resort to gimmickry, esp. habitually.
I hear that DC boards don't need wax. is that true?
3 Attachment(s)
Oh cool. You can quote dictionaries. Structurn works. It makes a board faster, longer. A guy I used to ride with liked sticky bases and was annoyed with his last year Kooley SantaCruz cause it had structurn and the thing wouldn't slow down for him even after a few days, on man made snow. Structurn. It works.
No, I was just telling you what a gimmick was. You said it wasn't a gimmick, but it obviously is. I didn't say it didn't work.
After a few full tunes, Structurn is gone. Sure it works, but it has to be there to work. And yes you have to wax DC boards. Wax-impregnated bases still need wax; they are not "endless-supply-of-wax" bases.

text: I am having LG Optimus M, which I brought last month. I had done rooting my phone and then removed some of the unwanted stuffs. Now, as the android market does not work, I am not able to connect to the computer through the USB cable. I also tried using the USB cable driver in LGMS690 zip file, but it did not worked for me. So I want to return to my original factory settings, that I got when I purchased the phone. Is there any way that getting something on my MicroSD card would solve the issue?

[caption id="attachment_111981" align="alignright" width="232"] Paulo Avelino[/caption]
Paulo Avelino's successive tweets over the weekend about pleading with ex-girlfriend LJ Reyes to let him see their three-year-old son Ethan Akio or Aki are not his.
According to the actor's manager, Leo Dominguez, the account was hacked and that the posts had been deleted.
Shortly after the removal, the actor posted, "Social media is full of hypocrites." Dominguez would comment in part, "Grabe whoever hacked it:("
Paulo and LJ confirmed the end of their four-year-relationship last year. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old father clarified that it doesn't keep him from seeing his son.
Hello, Instagram!
Paulo opened an account on Instagram recently and his first post was a photo of his son doing wacky face. He amassed nearly 2,000 followers days after with actress KC Concepcion being among first to "follow" him.
KC's comment congratulates the actor for the successful ending of his top-rated TV series "Honesto."
"Congratulations sa Honesto. Job well done," the post read
Recall that in November 2013, Paulo revealed that he's dating KC in a non-exclusive basis. Recently, she confessed having a crush on him.

Nonsurgical Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (cont.)
Yohimbine, an herbal product, comes from the bark of a West African tree. Its use in treating erectile dysfunction is questionable, and, in studies, yohimbine is only slightly better than placebo (no drug at all).
Nonetheless, yohimbine is considered safe with few known side effects. The usual daily dose is a 5.4-mg tablet taken 3 times a day.
Hormonal Therapy
Men with low sex drive and erectile dysfunction may have low levels of testosterone (the male hormone). As a general guideline, a testosterone level of 300 ng/dL or less is considered low, but this varies depending on the laboratory that does the testing and the time of day the sample is taken.
Hormone replacement may be beneficial, especially when used in combination with other therapies for erectile dysfunction; however, testosterone supplementation alone is not particularly effective in treating erectile dysfunction.
Sexual desire (libido) and an overall sense of well-being are likely to improve when serum testosterone levels (the level of the male hormone in the blood) are restored.
Replacement testosterone is available in the following forms:
If your doctor prescribes long-term testosterone replacement therapy, you will have follow-up visits to assess your testosterone levels, to periodically monitor your blood counts, and to undergo regular prostate checks, including digital rectal examinations and prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood tests.

My rhetorical question is a blatant attempt to get people interested in the thread. Some people might interpret it as a complaint about the prices we pay for this stuff, and if anybody wants to address that they're more than welcome. But in my case I'm directing the question to myself.
When I was a kid our connected home ent & comm consisted of a couple of rotary dial corded phones, a TV set that received two channels off the air, and AM/FM radio. We probably paid $15-20 a month for phone service and nothing for TV or radio.
Now in the year 2012, my total cost to be connected is about $300 a month, taxes in. That includes our bundled telephone/internet/cable TV with all the trimmings, two cell phones and an OnStar car phone.
That's a hefty chunk of change for someone in the middle middle class such as myself. And most of this is discretionary spending. I need the basic phone service, and that's about it. I am paying through the nose for stuff I don't really need. So why?
Well, in one sense I do need entertainment and communication to keep me from going crazy. In another sense, though, needs have been created for me and for us. We all managed to survive before there was an internet, before high def, big screen TV's, and movie channels with On Demand service and PVR's.
Am I thinking about cutting back on any of this? Not at the moment. If money got tight I would do it out of necessity. But for now I'm staying wired because I do like a lot of this stuff and I do think it enhances my life. Still, $300 a month is a lot of dough...


text: So the travel team that I'll be playing for wont be going to many big tourneys, mostly tourneys in the Illinois-KY-IN-TN area, not exactly a great place to try to get noticed. I will probably be at TGS Roanoke and I was wondering if there is any scouting at all there. Thanks.

ROCHESTER — Police here have arrested a Rochester man in connection with fabricating a story that he was kidnapped from Rochester Common and held at gunpoint earlier this month.
Steven Gilman, 22, of 30B Chestnut St., Rochester, has been charged with making a false report to law enforcement, a Class A misdemeanor.
Rochester police investigated a complaint from Gilman on Monday, Aug. 4, that while he was at the Common, he was approached by a male and female and was kidnapped. Gilman told police he was held at gunpoint in their vehicle by the male suspect as the female suspect drove him away from the Common.
Gilman told investigators he escaped by jumping out of the vehicle and fleeing while they were at the intersection of Columbus Avenue and South Main Street. He said he fled on foot and went to notify police.
Police claim they conducted an investigation and proved Gilman fabricated the entire story.
Gilman refused bail and was transported to Strafford County Jail. Her was arraigned on Thursday at the Rochester Court. He was held on $50 cash-only bail with a future trial date.

The film "War Horse" offers several examples of how military tactics and technology can bounce from era to era, including a nod to an artifact that's been at a Vancouver heritage site for almost a century.
The movie's first combat scene, set in the opening stages of World War I, shows a British cavalry squadron slashing through fleeing Germans … until (spoiler alert!) the saber-swinging horsemen are mowed down by machine guns.
Another example of overlapping eras is more understated. In scenes depicting trench warfare, a few soldiers on both sides of no man's land can be seen wearing something metallic under their uniform jackets: steel breastplates that might have been inspired by medieval armor.
An even more eye-catching example of that sort of throwback gear is a treasured artifact at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. It's a visored helmet that (other than the olive-drab paint job) would have looked right at home on Sir Lancelot.
There's a good reason for that, said Les Jensen, curator of arms and armor at the West Point Museum.
"It's part of a group of helmets designed by Bashford Dean," Jensen told The Columbian a few years ago in a story about the helmet. "He was a major in the ordnance department and assigned to design body armor. He also was curator of arms and armor at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
"A lot of the helmets he designed had a very medieval look because he was copying what was in the collection. A whole bunch of these experimental helmets were designed. One or two actually saw some service, but the vast majority never made it past the experimental stage," Jensen said.
Puzzling discovery
Fort Vancouver's steel helmet was recovered in 1971 during excavations just northeast of the reconstructed stockade, said Bob Cromwell, a National Park Service archaeologist. It probably was manufactured by the Ford Motor Co. in November 1918, Cromwell said.
It's officially a U.S. Army Model 8 helmet, Cromwell said, and only 1,300 were made. But how it wound up at what was then part of Vancouver Barracks … well, "It's beyond me," Cromwell told The Columbian.

Vent problems: I have a chicken that has what looks to be a ruptured vent. It is swollen, bloody and seems to be stretched out.
The chicken is only about 9 months old. It does not (at this point) seem bothered by it. Why did this happen and how do I treat it?
Hopefully this is not a prolapse, which is a very serious condition when a portion of the internal egg producing and laying path suffers some sort of trauma and is pushed with muscle contractions to the outside of the body.
Swelling, due to internal tearing, broken blood vessels, could cause what you have described.
It's possible that an egg was broken inside her, due to being handled roughly by a human or other animal.
Pushing the rough edges out as she lays the egg can cause cuts as it passes. You didn't say what size an area this involves, but by your input that: she doesn't seem to be bothered by it, may mean it is not extremely serious.
Sometimes, just like in childbirth, or the birth of animals, there can be a tearing in the "birth canal" when a hen lays an egg.
If she has just started laying, possibly an egg was poorly lubricated, the passage too tight and the egg too large for her to easily pass it.

Loved it and would go again. One minor complaint - people forget this is a concert in a performance venue, not a club. Please don't shout your conversations over the music and stand in your seats so people behind you cannot see. Everyone else wants to enjoy themselves, too.
Otherwise, the evening with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings was a highlight for the year!

A worker from the Regional Democratic Council (RDC), Region Six was placed on $75,000 bail yesterday after he was charged with exposing his genitals.
Narine Chattergoon, 49, of Bath Settlement, West Cost Berbice appeared before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus in the New Amsterdam Magistrate's Court where he pleaded not guilty.
It is alleged that on March 13, at the Regional Democratic Council office Vryman's Erven, New Amsterdam Chattergoon exposed his genitals to a woman.
It was alleged that on the day in question, the woman was at her home when she saw the accused on his motorcycle. She asked him if he could help her get a job as a neighbourhood police and he told her to meet him at his office. The woman reportedly told him that she did not have money to get to the office and he allegedly gave her $300.
The woman went to the RDC office and asked for "Anil" the name given to her. The security guard indicated that she did not know anyone by that name and asked her to wait.
Not long after, the woman saw the accused entering the compound and she followed him to his office. She said he acted as if he were making phone calls, the left the office. On his return, she alleged, he attempted to kiss her and she pushed him away. He then returned to his seat, exposed his genitals and asked her to perform oral sex, the woman alleged. She said she refused and left the office in shock.
When Chattergoon was contacted by police he denied the allegation. He is to make his second court appearance on July 18.
