Trentadue Winery
Central Valley region
Creative Spirit and Can-Do Attitude are Hallmarks of Trentadue's Success
In 1959, after twenty-five years of farming fruit orchards in California's Santa Clara Valley, the Trentadue family decided it was time to move on. "We were pushed out by the subdivisions," says patriarch Leo Trentadue. "You can't farm properly with housing tracts and businesses all around you," he adds. Indeed, for that area is now the heart of California's so-called "Silicon Valley," home to some of the world's leading high-tech companies.
With the thought of continuing his fruit farming elsewhere in California, Leo began searching the Central Valley where some of his former neighbors had previously relocated. After looking in vain for several months, his attention was diverted to Sonoma County. An uncle, who was already farming there, suggested that he look at a ranch that was for sale. The property was comprised of 117 acres of prune and apple trees, and about 50 acres of unusually mature grapevines. In fact, these vines were planted back in the 1880s and were producing small yields of highly concentrated, excellent quality fruit. With the purchase of the ranch in 1959, Leo Trentadue had suddenly become a grape farmer.
Under the watchful eye of Leo's father, Joseph who was a veteran winemaker, they began removing prunes and apples and planting grapes. These vines were among the very first to be planted in Sonoma County since the days of Prohibition. Those "new" plantings today are more than 40 years old, and the "old" vines are more than 100 years old!
Over the next ten years, the Trentadues added over one hundred additional acres and planted a multitude of varietals. All of the grapes were sold to neighboring wineries. "We've been selling fruit to wineries like Ridge, Seghesio and Asti for years," reveals Leo. "They all encouraged me to start my own winery and finally I did," he explains. In 1969 he converted an old barn on the property into a makeshift winery until a permanent structure was built several years later. "We were just playing around at first," he says half kidding. "We made about 3,000 gallons of 5 or 6 different varietals and it was snapped up virtually overnight!"
Knowing they were on to something, Leo continued to expand the winery operation. Amazingly, at one point Trentadue Winery had 23 different wines offered for sale! In 1990 the winery replaced all of their old winemaking equipment with state-of-the-art machinery. They brought in all new barrels, hired a new winemaker and down to the last detail, redesigned their label. A smart decision was made to pare the wine offerings down to a more manageable seven.
Today, Trentadue Winery is still 100% family owned. Leo Trentadue and wife, Evelyn are both still active in the winery. Their son Victor oversees the vineyards as well as the winery day-to-day operations. One of their two daughters, Annette, works in the tasting room and helps organize special winery events. Both Victor and Annette have children who also occasionally work at the winery, starting a fourth generation of Trentadue Winery history.
Wine industry veteran Miro Tcholakov (Meer-oh Choe-la-kawv) handles the winery's 15,000 case production of mostly red wines. Trentadue is a high quality producer of primarily, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Petite Sirah and a special red blend they call "Old Patch Red." Growing our family winery continues to be a great adventure," says an obviously proud Leo Trentadue.
Miro Tcholakov - one of the top 20 winemakers in America
Born and raised in northern Bulgaria, Miro Tcholakov became winemaker at Trentadue Winery in the summer of 1999, and has since produced wines with an unbelievable quantity of accolades from the professional wine press. Trentadue's cabinets are filled with over 60 Gold Medals, more than 30 Double Gold and Best of Class, and hundreds of Silver Medals! In 2005, Miro was chosen by popular media as one of the top 20 winemakers in America. He also handcrafts wines for his own label, Miro Cellars.
The Trentadue Team
'Growing our family winery continues to be a great adventure," says an obviously proud Leo Trentadue. In Italian, the word Trentadue means 'thirty-two," thus the 32 designation on the wine label. Speculation is that the family name comes from a group of 32 emigrants who settled in their hometown area of Bari, Italy centuries ago. Leo's father was born in Italy in the late 1890s. At the age of 16, he and his family came to America at a time of growing strife and threat of war in Europe. After various odd jobs and a stint in the Army, Leo's father was preparing to go back to his homeland. 'That's when he spotted a 'Come to Sunny California' poster," Leo recounts. 'He had nothing to lose so he went to California and never left!" he adds.
By the mid 1930s he was able to buy some ranch land near San Francisco that he converted to fruit orchards. 'I grew up working in those orchards," recalls Leo, 'most of my childhood, every day after school and every weekend. So at the time I wasn't real anxious to keep doing that for the rest of my life." After finishing high school, Leo spent a few years in the Army. Still not entirely enthusiastic about the prospects of farm life, he enrolled at San Jose State University to earn a degree in horology (the science of measuring time and the art of watch making). He subsequently bought a jewelry store and ran it for several years until 1954 when the pull of the land finally brought him back to the family orchard farm. A few years later succumbing to urban sprawl, Leo and his family sold the orchard farm and moved to Sonoma. Leo and his wife Evelyn live on the vineyard property in Sonoma that they purchased in 1959. Although they easily could, they are not interested in becoming a big winery operation like a lot of their neighbors. Their goal is simple: 'We want to continue making good wines," states Leo. 'And maintain the farm lifestyle to which we are accustomed."
Wine industry veteran Miro Tcholakov (Meer-oh Choe-la-kawv) handles the winemaking. Born in a grape-growing and winemaking area of Bulgaria, Miro's love of wine began at an early age. As a small boy Miro helped his grandfather work their small family vineyard and make wines. 'We little boys were thrown in vats of grapes up to our chins. It was hot, sticky and full of bees, but it was the highlight of every year," says Miro. Before joining Trentadue Winery, Miro worked at Dry Creek Vineyards where he was Cellar Master and then Assistant Winemaker. He acted as liaison between the winemaker and the wine, making sure that the winemaker's decisions were followed throughout the winemaking. 'I'm with the wine all the time," says Miro. 'I follow its progress from the vine, through crush, fermentation, racking, barrel work, blending, filtration and bottling. Then it's out of my hands."
To complement his early induction into winemaking, Miro graduated with high honors from the Higher Institute of Agriculture in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, with a degree in viticulture and enology. Since moving to California, Miro has supplemented his experience with courses in red wine production at University of California, Davis, and supervisory management classes at Santa Rosa Junior College in Sonoma County.
Trentadue Winery is primarily a red-wine winery, giving emphasis to Merlot, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon and a special red blend they call 'Old Patch Red." Conceived almost 20 years ago, Old Patch Red is a unique field blend named for the original 1896 plantings, and some of the vines are still producing today. Recently, the winery introduced a collection of super premium wines they call La Storia, that are crafted from the best grapes available to the winemaker, which are aged in the best oak barrels until the optimum time to release. They currently have a Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, a red blend named 'Cuvee 32," and a Red Meritage.

However, last week we contacted the firm by email (as no one answers the telephones unless you are a new customer) to inform them that meals were missing for all three parties for the next four days.
While I immediately received an autoresponse, more than four days went by and still no one from customer service bothered to call me to find out what happened or to give us the meals they owe us.
Again on Monday I called and again while there was someone there to pick up the phone for new orders, no one was available to deal with those of us already paying. So - while everyone in my family is missing meals throughout the week (which we already paid for) the people at diettogo do not have the time nor the courtesy to do anything more than send an automatically generated response to my emails.
I have to say that while the quality of the food is good, if your time is valuable find an altnernative source.

Testing the dev version 0.4a (on a 3.1RC4 install with ONE super admin) I find that I cannot delete any roles I. It just keeps adding more...
1. Check on /wp-admin/network/settings.php?page=esa_options_page some capabilities and hit "Save and Add another"
2. After the page reloads, there is a new grey area above that one with the title "New Role" but this new area can not be folded open or close and shows only "Would you like this role to be deleted?" with a checkbox beside it.
3. Place a checkmark in that checkbox and hit "Save and Add another" again.
4. Now there are TWO of those anonymous grey beams at the top. Indistinguishable from each other and not removable...
For what it's worth: the capabilities that I had initially checked to be removed have indeed gone for this super admin :)

Apocalypse delayed
Andrew Bolt
–, Monday, February, 08, 2010, (12:03pm)
Fifty per cent of hype deducted:
Glaciologists at the Laboratory for Space Studies in Geophysics and Oceanography (LEGOS – CNRS/CNES/IRD/Université Toulouse 3) and their US and Canadian colleagues (1) have shown that previous studies have largely overestimated mass loss from Alaskan glaciers over the past 40 years. Recent data from the SPOT 5 and ASTER satellites have enabled researchers to extensively map mass loss in these glaciers, which contributed 0.12 mm/year to sea-level rise between 1962 and 2006, rather than 0.17 mm/year as previously estimated.
(Via Watts Up With That.)
Have Your Say
But but we were told that thousands, if not all credible scientists had peer reviewed all this. The science was settled. Thousands got it wrong - almost all credible scientists ? On their own words they're incompetent. Demand an inquiry. Scientists cannot be trusted.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (12:14pm)
Mon 08 Feb 10 (02:09pm)
Try reading the actual press release, like others have done beow rather than a knee-jerk post about scientist "can't be trusted".
Next time you take some anti-biotics, fly an aircraft or use the internet just remember how trustworthy those scientists are.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:11pm)
Oh dear Mike identifies with the discredited scientists. I have worked with scientists. Not impressed at all.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:31pm)
Next time you ... fly an aircraft
Confusing engineers and scientists?
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:43pm)
And I'll be grateful that they were overseen by engineers: anti-biotics - process engineers, planes by aeronautical engineers, internet by electronuc engineers ... who understand risk, quality control and sensibility checking none of which scientists have undertaken in respect of AGW.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:45pm)
Mike, the things you listed are created and/or maintained by: Chemists, Engineers and Engineers. Chemists are not observational scientists (unless in R&D;) but 1 out of 3 ain't bad right?
Mon 08 Feb 10 (04:24pm)
Actually Mike, I think you might be thinking of Engineers and Chemists.
Science is a continuing effort to discover and increase human knowledge and understanding through disciplined research - not the practical application of the results.
I wonder what the future holds for washed up discredited alarmist 'Climate Scientists'?
Surely there are not that many positions for used car salesmen.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (12:23pm)
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:22pm)
Speaking of unwarranted alarmism and 'hype', Andrew Bolt might want to note that a reduction from .17 to .12 is actually a 29% reduction, not 50% as he has implied in this post.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (04:32pm)
Simon, maybe you should read the actual article before taking a swipe at Andrew or anyone else for that matter.
Why did they overestimate ice loss from these glaciers by 50%? The impact of rock debris that covers certain glacier tongues (4) and protects them from solar radiation (and thus from melting) was not taken into account in the previous work. Moreover, their sampling was limited to longitudinal profiles along the center of a few glaciers, which geometrically led to overestimation of ice loss.
There was an actual overestimation of 50% - fact. I suppose though that when the edifice in which you have invested so much confidence is crumbling around your ears then there is a tendency to thrash around looking for accusations.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (04:45pm)
Simon, actually an exageration from .12 to .17 is 41.66%. Whether the difference is 29%, 42% or 50%, they all are substantial differences and show, yet again, that the science is not settled.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (04:58pm)
Simon, read the article in the link…
the 50% uplift is discussed there:
Why did they overestimate ice loss from these glaciers by 50%?
see… 'peer review' does work when conducted properly.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (05:00pm)
Andrew Bolt might want to note that a reduction from .17 to .12 is actually a 29% reduction, not 50% as he has implied in this post.
Doesn't matter Simon - this is just one of a myriad of climate parameters which are input to scientific and economic climate modelling. If even a few of these parameters are out by as much as 30% it means the modelling is completely useless. We now know enough to categorically conclude that the outputs and conclusions of these models are utter garbage.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (05:12pm)
Simon, I think Bolta was using the more accurate value as the basis for the calculation. If the real value is 0.12, then the value of 0.17 is almost 50% deviation from the reality.
Best to start from real things, don't you think?
Mon 08 Feb 10 (06:11pm)
If even a few of these parameters are out by as much as 30% it means the modelling is completely useless. We now know enough to categorically conclude that the outputs and conclusions of these models are utter garbage.
What nonsense MAGB. We can now estimate with relative certainty that the sea-level increase arising from ice-loss from these glaciers is likely to be between .12mm/year and .17mm/year.
Your complete rejection of science as a useful tool to humankind, based on the totally unremarkable fact that models/predictions undergo regular revision, is ridiculous.
To the others - re the % issue - fair cop.
Firstly, this is no conspiracy, there is no mistake uncovered by the denialists. This is merely estimations of ice loss becoming more accurate. The difference between 0.12mm and 0.17mm per year is miniscule when referring to just Alaskan glaciers.
Secondly, read the entire press release, particularly the last paragraph:
"Ice loss from Alaskan glaciers since 1962 is evidently smaller than previously thought. However, thinning (sometimes over 10 m/year, as in the Columbia glacier) and glacial retreat remain considerable. Moreover, the spectacular acceleration in mass loss since the mid 1990s, corresponding to a contribution of 0.25 to 0.30 mm/year to sea-level rise, is not in question and proves to be a worrying indication of future sea-level rise."
And Andrew Bolt accuses climate change scientists of hysteria and distortion.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (12:46pm)
Mon 08 Feb 10 (01:35pm)
if its only .12 to .17mm why the hell are the AGW lot running around saying the 'world going to end'.
Same goes for C02 levels - they need to be 100x more before they become apocalyptic - to quote a phrase "Get a grip on Reality"
Mon 08 Feb 10 (01:44pm)
Beat me to it there WS.
But as we all know, the only argument left to those of similar coldaholic viewpoints is "hysteria and distortion".
Alas, or perhaps, in spite of their best efforts; all their theories and postulations of natural climate change are falling apart around them and any residual truth is merely a litany of lies and deceit.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (01:50pm)
Hysteria & distortion is claiming that a full jumbo will fall from the sky because 1 passenger's luggage is 1kg overweight.
Which is on the same level as the pro-agw 'science'.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (02:04pm)
They've exaggerated the consequence by almost 40 percent and that doesn't matter to you? My word. You've reached a stage where you're saying you are happy to be deceived so long as it is within a respectable range. Incredible.
Note that there is no link. NO LINK btwn the mass loss of Alaskan glaciers and CO2 emitted by human activity. My word but you people are in an hysterical state of denial.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (02:10pm)
0.17 divided by 0.12 is approximately 1.42, which is a FORTY TWO PERCENT OVERSTATEMENT.
If the raw data are sufficiently reliable to measure this degree of difference, then the error in the final result is remarkably large.
Furthermore, 0.30mm a year is 30mm in ONE HUNDRED YEARS. 30mm is not enough to trouble anybody.
There is no need to ram through Mr Rudd's CPRS in order to "save the world" - on the contrary, there is plenty of time to build a nuclear power industry over the next twenty to thirty years and at least correct the local "problem", if one actually exists.
Of course, by then China will have built two or three coal-burning power stations for every one we shut down.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (02:12pm)
Yes, WS, I noted that too. One often finds that links in this blog contain actual direct contradictions to the point trying to be made. It's as if someone wasn't reading them properly. Casual, and hardly the stuff of good science, is it?
Mon 08 Feb 10 (02:17pm)
I suggest you read the press release again.
The issue is the mass loss in Alaskan glaciers as reported in the refenced study.
Based upon a lack of accreditation, I suggest that the last paragraph is not appropriated from the study.
Bias anyone??
Mon 08 Feb 10 (02:18pm)
You accuse AB of hysteria and distortion?

Secondly, add this 'mistake' to all of the other climate- gate , glacier -gate amazon forest- gate ect. and you should see whats unfolding here. The biggest scam ever to be tried on mankind. AGW is a Hoax.

Perhaps the AGW industry (worth trillions worldwide??? could buy their propagandists some Grammar lessons.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (06:43pm)
Grammar/English teachers are among the most fanatical supporters of this scam.
The trouble is that glaciers continue to lose mass at an accelerating rate. This poses problems not only for sea level rise, but also for the water supply of millions of people.
We can expect this acceleration to increase further, given that current temperatures are at record highs, well above IPCC projections.
You also might want to recheck your maths, as your claim of "fifty percent of hype deducted" does not stand up to scrutiny.
If I may anticipate an objection, I am aware that criticisms have been levelled at the IPCC's inclusion of a claim that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035. Let me state that such criticism is justified in this case, but does not in any way mean that glaciers aren't shrinking rapidly, with potentially dire consequences for the water supply of millions.
These disturbing scenarios may indeed be "delayed', but burying your head in the sand will not make the problem go away.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (01:24pm)
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:56pm)
problems for sea level rise??
where do you think the glaciers came from. Glaciers grow and shrink all the time.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (04:17pm)
Nearly as hot as twelve years ago (as per the link to Bolt's previous article) is neither:
a) Record highs.
b) Well above IPCC projections.
I accuse you of lying. Please feel free to:
a) Provide evidence to back up your claims.
b) Apologise for lying.
c) Abuse or ignore me, ie standard warmist operating procedure.
I think I know what I can expect!

BM, I choose option A. The records I'm referring to are the all time highest temperatures for January and November as recorded by satellite data.
No need to apologise for accusing me of lying, though.
Mike J, as you can see the number glaciers receding far outweighs the relatively much smaller number that are growing.
Steve, irrelevant because the current world population is approaching 7 billion, something unprecedented in history.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (09:38pm)
BM, you also accused me of lying when I correctly asserted that current temperatures are above IPCC projections.
The information can be found in Bolt's own post.
The IPCC projection is the thick purple line in the second graph. Recent independent satellite measurements are indicated by the dotted lines.
I know your accusations were the result of ignorance, and you weren't maliciously defaming me, so once again, no apology necessary.

Andrew's already done two of them, moron. What, were a swarm of you given that "accusation" as an assignment today to smear all over this blog, without having checked over the last week's worth of posts here? Haha - you look silly now hmm?
Of course this new estimate suggests that another area is losing more mass than reckoned,to account for observed sea-level rise,or thermic expansion has been under estimated.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (01:38pm)
0.25 to 0.30 mm per year…
So 3 cm in 10 years if accurate. 30 cm in 1 century.
Yep I'm so worried about that rapid rise.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (01:44pm)
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:40pm)
0.30mm/yr = 30mm (3cm)/100yrs!
Even less of a worry. Hardly catastrophic.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (04:19pm)
Your maths is alittle faulty. That's about A QUARTER of a millimetre per year. Or 25-30 millimetres a century, not centimetres!!!
Thus, in one hundred years there might be arise of around an inch (28 millimetres). You now have one-tenth the reason to be worried. Cheers

Retreating glaciers don't calve: Portage Alaska
A number of Alaskan glaciers are advancing
Mon 08 Feb 10 (01:47pm)
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:55pm)
Yes, Jan, 10 are advancing ,"in stark contrast to the majority of Alaskan glaciers" according to that abstract, which is worth reading in full for its account of the circumstances of these exceptional advancers.
Please try reading the actual research or original soruces. Simply reposting recycled blog comments from the WUWT blog without actually understanding what the research states does not add to this blogs credibility.
This is what the press release actually says:
Ice loss from Alaskan glaciers since 1962 is evidently smaller than previously thought. However, thinning (sometimes over 10 m/year, as in the Columbia glacier) and glacial retreat remain considerable. Moreover, the spectacular acceleration in mass loss since the mid 1990s, corresponding to a contribution of 0.25 to 0.30 mm/year to sea-level rise, is not in question and proves to be a worrying indication of future sea-level rise.
In short, it's still thinning and they can measure the rate more effectively. In fact the research supports the science of climate change. So called climate scpetics misrepresenting real science again… what's up with that?????

Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:56pm)
I suggest you do some engineering maths and learn variability. Try to understand that assuming rather uniform changes over the planet is absurd. That one would expect rises and falls in different places. I suggest you do some auditing. Difficult hey ? Because your entire study is within natural variability. In other words your playing around in the white noise part of variables. You do understand I hope that all numbers have deterministic and stochastic parts. I hope you understand that most material properties are poorly understood. And I hope you do understand that just cranking up computer models does not add to accuracy. You're in white noise. It's like you're playing heads and tails and you just got a longer string of heads than ever before. That doesn't change the fact that head and tails next throw is still 50/50.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (04:03pm)
In stark contrast with the majority of glaciers in Alaska that are losing volume and retreating in response to climate forcing, about 10 large glaciers are increasing in volume and advancing.Hubbard Glacier, near Yakutat, Alaska, is the largest calving glacier on the North American Continent is one of the advancing glaciers...No reasonable change in climate will change this imbalance and stop the advances of these glaciers.

And you are concerned Mike? Now, just go down to the beach with your ruler and measure that 0.30 mm and then come back and tell me again what difference it will make.
Better still, wait 100 years and then go and measure the 30mm and come back and tell me what difference it has made.
Do you people ever stop to consider just how stupid your fearmongering actually is?
And now for Africagate....
Following an investigation by this blog (and with the story also told in The Sunday Times), another major "mistake" in the IPCC's benchmark Fourth Assessment Report has emerged.
Similar in effect to the erroneous "2035? claim – the year the IPCC claimed that Himalayan glaciers were going to melt – in this instance we find that the IPCC has wrongly claimed that in some African countries, yields from rain-fed agriculture could be reduced by up to 50 percent by 2020.
At best, this is a wild exaggeration, unsupported by any scientific research, referenced only to a report produced by a Canadian advocacy group, written by an obscure Moroccan academic who specialises in carbon trading, citing references which do not support his claims.
Unlike the glacier claim, which was confined to a section of the technical Working Group II report, this "50 percent by 2020? claim forms part of the key Synthesis Report, the production of which was the personal responsibility of the chair of the IPCC, Dr R K Pachauri. It has been repeated by him in many public fora. He, therefore, bears a personal responsibility for the error.
this latest debacle, which is now under investigation by IPCC scientists and officials.
What follows is a detailed investigation by Dr. North, I highly recommend reading it here:

Ta for link, BULMKT. Here's a favourite of mine from Will Alexander, from Seth Effica;
Aptly titled "Climate Models for Monkeys"
"Before I start, my very important question is why are these models that are described below, and which have rainfall, river flow and open water surface evaporation in their inputs, not included in the classification of climate prediction models? What is the difference between predicting future rainfall and flows in our rivers and predicting future temperatures in South Africa? The reason why hydrological models are not considered to be climatological models is obvious. They completely undermine climate change theory and the models based on it".
It seems that every time we get a climate story based on alarming data, a review of that data either comes up with something much less alarming, or the source turns out to be particularly dodgy (or both). Today we have the above glacier story, and also a very dodgy IPCC claim on African agriculture. There seems to be a new one almost every day; so many, I am losing track.
Yet there are still stories out there saying "it's worse than previously thought". These stories seem to be mostly based on output from computer models.
The models are diverging more and more from the real world. Something's gotta give, and soon.

Thats why Kevin0/7 has shut up about the Greatest Moral Challenge of our Generation..It was days left to save our Reef, Kakadu and the Grandkids prior to Cophehagen,these little changes have bought him some time......Or it was all crap and he was just destroying his opponents with cheap political pointscoring with the help of a compliant media and he didn't care if he introduced an Australia destroying ETS in the process.....now which is the most likely?

Loved this bit
"..the (earlier) researchers inferred elevation changes and then extrapolated this to other glaciers."
Such is the research upon which myths are built. My colleagues and I used to call that sort of stuff SWAG sampling, or scientific wild-arsed guessing.
These current guys still give the mandatory genuflection to global warming but don't seem to worry about the fact that we are still coming out of the last ice age.
I'd perhaps be a bit more heedful if it wasn't for the fact that the US government had spent over $79billion since 1989 trying unsuccessfully to prove that mankind is heating the world to hell. The EU has spent God knows how much more.

That's still a large rise in sea levels. At this rate I'll be able to fish from my back door. I'll have to wait around for about 100,000 years,though
Still how cool will that be.

I was wondering if there has been a report Andrew on Lord Monckton meeting the Press Gallery on the 4th Feb and did you attend, also can anyone tell me if it is possible to watch the program through the internet.

Hi Lucinda,
We watched through the Sky News Channel; I'm not sure if you can still press the red button (from your remote at home) and scroll to view, but its definitley worth a try. He was absoulety brilliant.
Good Luck
PS you may want to try the Sky News Australia website!
Bravo, bravo Andrew! My husband and I have been eagerly awaiting the return of the ABC program the Insiders. So we were absolutely delighted to find that you were appearing on yesterday morning's show.
Thank you for pointing out about that appalling photo that was taken and published in one of our newspapers of Lord Christopher Monckton. Even if you don't agree with his theories does not give you the right to attack him on his physical appearance.
It's the same if you disagree with the asylum seeker issue, we have noticed that the comments become quite nasty and personal. I've been saying for some time now that you have restored my faith in journalism; we now think that even if you are one of the majority we're not listened to anymore. So much for living in a democratic society!
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:07pm)
Can someone here explain to us how the sea level is measured? Such minute measurements as .12 and .17 seem almost impossible to measure, in view of the ever changing tides.I am interested.
Mon 08 Feb 10 (03:48pm)
Tue 09 Feb 10 (01:13am)
the numbers given(0.12 and 0.17mm/per yr)were reached by a process involving a few steps.
satellites photos are used to accurately measure the changing height, mass, extent and flow of the glaciers. the glaciologits then calculate the amount of ice lost from the glaciers per year into the oceans. this volume is then integrated accross the volume of the worlds oceans to give a figure of contribution to sea level rise per year.
the revised figure refers to avg loss from 1962-2006.
the article also highlights that the annual contribution from 1990-2006 is 0.25-0.3mm/yr. indication the increasing rate the glaciers are retreating.
hope this helps
See the thing about science is that there's very few areas of it that are well understood. There are new discoveries all the time that discredit long held theories that had stood solid for many many years.
The climate system is chaotic. Yes, there are repeating patterns and things that can be relatively confidently predicted (we call that weather), but even the most definite prediction can turn wrong.
So with that in mind, why on earth would governments commit billions, if not trillions of dollars to combat a problem hypothesised in the last 20-30 years about our climate system?
All these stories of conflicting studies are to be expected, but it's an absolute travesty that it's such big news. And it's only big news because the scare campaign based on this solid hypothesis (that CO2 contributes to warming) with very flaky, even outrageously thin evidence to support it.
The hypothesis and associated model has been shown in numerous studies not to fit the real world data. So what's their response? The data must be wrong.
Ayeyayyayyayyaye! The gods (scientists/politicians/Gore) must be crazy!
Mon 08 Feb 10 (04:30pm)
Andrew, this is all great stuff. It is so important that people are questioning the veracity of all scientific claims meade by the IPCC and individual scientists and researchers. After all, '...think for yourself, question authority...'.
But from all I have seen presented on this blog is perhaps evidence that some claims are overstated ie glaciers are melting but not as fast as claimed, sea levels rising by 0.12mm per year, not 0.17mm per year, and global temperatures rising but not by as much as predicted.
Isn't there a theme here...that the underlying theory is right and that the planet is warming, sea levels are rising, glaciers are melting etc it is just the rate of change that is hard to predict exactly?

GENEVA, Ala. (AP) - A grand jury has indicted a former Geneva pastor on theft charges.
Geneva County District Attorney Kirke Adams said Steve McQueen faces three counts of first-degree theft for allegedly stealing church funds.
He said the investigation started about a year ago after members of the Solid Rock Worship Center suspected improprieties.
Adams said McQueen was indicted and arrested last week. The indictment alleges around 50-thousand dollars was taken from a church building fund.

An Open Letter To: Meryl Beard

Fax # (561)994-9829
Re: Acct#: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
Mr. Beard,
I am writing you this letter to ask for your assistance in a matter with your Bank.
I have recently paid off the above referenced account in full. You company placed this account in a charge off status in June 2003. The reason for this is that the person I was a joint account holder with listed another account with your bank in her Bankruptcy. This account was not to be included.
I spoke with your customer service department and was told that it is the policy of your company to include all accounts regardless of status. I was able to get this account taken out of the BK, however as a result of being included in the first place, it was past due. At that point your company charged off the account. My thought process is that if you had not placed this account in the BK and had not stopped sending statements there would have been no late payments.
I have since paid off the account. I feel that since the account has been paid in full, without settlement that you should work with me in resolving this matter. Removing the trade line from my credit history can do this.
My experience wit you customer service department (to this point) has been like pulling teeth. I have been sending faxes and making phone calls with no response from your company what so ever. I would ask that you, yourself respond to me with a resolution to this issue.
I feel that my request is fair and not unwarranted.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Orlando, Florida

there transportation but not to get off campus whenever.
I live 30 minutes away, so transportation isn't bad for me. We have public transportation that takes you wherever you need to go off campus.
If you need to go somewhere you have to ask someone who has a car because you never know what time the bus is coming or you can call a taxi.
Great Bus Schedule – I have to applaud Morris College on providing Bus Transportation to students, during the week. Our school teamed up with The RTA Bus system to run as early as eight in the morning to late afternoon, and on Thursdays and Fridays until 9:00 p.m. The buses run every hour,until they close, just have your ID ready, so you won't have to pay!

National History Day 2014
This past June a number of staff from the AHA and I had the opportunity to serve as judges in the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest, held at the University of Maryland-College Park.
This past June a number of staff from the AHA and I had the opportunity to serve as judges in the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest, held at the University of Maryland-College Park.
The AHA has been following the controversy over the College Board's revised curriculum framework for Advanced Placement US History.
"It's our history, don't make it mystery!"
Today's What We're Reading features the unstoppable Teddy Roosevelt, student walkouts in Colorado, animals on trial, and much more!
If you haven't thanked a teacher this week, there's still time. As Teacher Appreciation Week winds down and students and teachers alike turn to appreciation of summer, we offer just the slimmest sample of links to articles in Perspectives on History by committed, engaged, and innovative history teachers over the past few years.
The articles below are just a taste of what's appeared in Perspectives on History. We welcome other links and resources in the comments section. We also recommend our Resources for Teachers page.
History Blueprint is a new history teaching website spearheaded by the California History-Social Science Project at the University of California, Davis. Just recently launched, the site currently offers one curriculum unit (on the Civil War) and three prototypes of teaching tools.
The AHA is a partner in this History Blueprint project, and was pleased to be represented by AHA Council and Teaching Division member Anne Hyde, who contributed by helping build the Civil War unit. Read on for her report on the experience and how the History Blueprint project will continue in the future.
The American Historical Association is pleased to announce the expansion of the William Gilbert Award for the Best Article on History Teaching. Starting this year, the award will be conferred annually and the winning author of the article as well as the journal that publishes it will each receive $1,000. These changes will (we hope) encourage journals to accept more articles on the teaching of history.
Edwyna Gilbert, a professor of English at the University of Kansas, established the award in the memory of her late husband, a historian, in 1995.
Teachers registered for the 126th annual meeting can earn Continuing Professional Development Units for attending sessions and workshops. The Illinois state form will be provided daily to be completed by the teacher for each day attended. Teachers from outside the state of Illinois may be able to use the form for their own state's requirements. A new form will be available each day in Registration located in River Exhibition Hall B in the Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers.
See also our past blog post, Teaching Sessions at the 2012 Annual Meeting, for a complete list of workshops, luncheons, receptions, and sessions for teachers and those with a special interest in teaching—featuring at least one activity in every time slot from Friday morning through Sunday.

Week 7 already? The first six weeks went by so quickly.
Injuries are beginning to mount up everywhere, especially after last week's brutal hits on some very key players.
What are we looking forward to this week? The 4-1 New England Patriots, who got a huge boost from Deion Branch last week, go on the road to face a 2-4 San Diego team that no one can seem to figure out.
Philadelphia (4-2), minus DeSean Jackson, will travel to Music City to take on Tennessee (4-2). The Titans lead the NFL in sacks with 24. The Eagles have surrendered the second-most sacks in the league (20). Advantage: Tennessee.
Baltimore (4-2) gets safety Ed Reed back today for the first time all season, but it probably won't even matter against hapless Buffalo, which is still seeking its first win.
Oh, and some guy named Favre will lead the Minnesota Vikings back to Lambeau Field—a place where he kinda became a big deal—later tonight to take on the Green Back Packers.
Enjoy the games!

Abstract: Peptide profiles generated using SELDI/MALDI time of flight mass spectrometry provide a promising source of patientspecific information with high potential impact on the early detection and classification of cancer and other diseases. The new profiling technology comes, however, with numerous challenges and concerns. Particularly important are concerns of reproducibility of classification results and their significance. In this work we describe a computational validation framework, called PACE (Permutation-Achieved Classification Error), that lets us assess, for a given classification model, the significance of the Achieved Classification Error (ACE) on the profile data. The framework compares the performance statistic of the classifier on true data samples and checks if these are consistent with the behavior of the classifier on the same data with randomly reassigned class labels. A statistically significant ACE increases our belief that a discriminative signal was found in the data. The advantage of PACE analysis is that it can be easily combined with any classification model and is relatively easy to interpret. PACE analysis does not protect researchers against confounding in the experimental design, or other sources of systematic or random error.We use PACE analysis to assess significance of classification results we have achieved on a number of published data sets. The results show that many of these datasets indeed possess a signal that leads to a statistically significant ACE.

How does sun exposure damage our skin?
DEAR DOCTOR K: You've said many times that the sun can harm our skin and increase the risk for skin cancer. How does it do that?
DEAR READER: As you age, the single biggest cause of damage to skin is sun exposure. This damage is called "photoaging." Over the years, sun exposure causes fine and coarse wrinkles; baggy skin with a yellow, leathery appearance; and dry, scaly skin. It also reduces collagen, a natural chemical that gives strength to tissues and that supports a network of blood vessels in the skin. As a result, the skin bruises more easily.

The Parliament of 1624

The Parliament of 1624
Date of writs of election: 30 Dec. 16231
Session dates:
12 Feb. 1624 (adjourned)
16 Feb. 1624 (adjourned due to the death of the duke of Richmond and Lennox)2
19 Feb.-25 Mar. 1624 (adjourned for Easter)3

19 May-29 May 1624 (adjourned and prorogued)6
Dissolved by the death of the king 27 Mar. 1625
Although James had sworn never to summon another Parliament, developments on the Continent once again forced him to reconsider his position. During the course of 1622 most of the Palatinate not already in Spanish hands was overrun. In consequence the Spanish Match assumed a new importance, for as well as being seen as a panacea for the royal finances it was now regarded at Court as essential if the Palatinate were to be restored. By early 1623 the negotiations were at an advanced stage, and it was therefore with high hopes that Prince Charles, accompanied by the marquess of Buckingham, arrived unannounced in Madrid in March. Though he refused to convert to Catholicism himself, Charles agreed to bring up his children in the Catholic faith and to cause his father to suspend the penal laws against recusants in England. However the negotiations were dealt a fatal blow in August after the Spanish declared that restoration of the Palatinate would be conditional on the Elector Palatine agreeing to marry his eldest son to the daughter of his enemy the Holy Roman Emperor and sending him to Vienna to be raised in the Catholic faith. Charles was furious, as his sister Elizabeth and her husband the Elector could not be expected to agree to such humiliating terms. When it became apparent that the Emperor himself knew nothing of this plan, Charles realized that the Spanish had no intention of ever returning

FOSDEM 2005 in Brussels, Belgium
The annual winter meeting of Europe's open source developers took place February 25-27 in Brussels, Belgium. Again the event was a mustn't miss for thousands of contributors to free projects and a welcome opportunity for developers to exchange ideas outside the borders of their own communities.
In the fifth year since its inception, the FOSDEM (Free and Open Source European Meeting) developer conference remains true to its principles: free, as technical as possible, and only as commercial as needs be. This concept continues to draw increasing numbers of developers from all over Europe and the US. The big guns were all there; for example, Alan Cox, who has returned to kernel development after a break, Wikipedia founder Jimbo Wales, Richard Stallman, Theo de Raadt from Open BSD, KDE founder Matthias Ettrich. The organizers talked of 3,500 attendees, but arrived at this figure by adding the attendees from both days. Realistically, the figure is somewhere between 2,000 and 2,500 participants, as the majority attended both days.

Today's Technicolor lithograph is a bit different than the others, featuring a border on three sides and a smaller image than typical. But what a nice image. It's titled "Dream Girl" and comes from the U.I. Co. of New York. We have no date, but we're guessing by the hairstyle and general model type that it's from 1955 or a bit earlier.

Below, a cover and interior scans from the mid-century burlesque magazine Cancans de Paris, with Sophia Loren, Martine Beswick, Laya Raki, and Senta Berger, who the magazine mistakenly calls Santa. Well, ho ho ho—if you want to be even more naughty this Sunday click the links for the other two Cancans de Paris we posted here and here.

Bet it's been a long time since you heard the term "Hershey highway." Well, Rampage, which bills itself as "America's top satire and humor weekly," fixes that on this cover from today in 1973 with a story about the utility of anal sex for birth control. The cover features a curious photo of a girl with her tongue out. We showed it to the Pulp Intl. girlfriends and here's an actual reaction: "Sure. Laaaaaa—I want dick in my butt. Sorry. Not having anal sex with you." It wasn't a hint—we just wanted a good quote. Mission fully accomplished.
Rampage's anal sex story is told in first person and goes into astonishing detail. Here's a snippet: "He holds on to the cheeks of my ass, keeping them spread wide while his manhood rams me like a goat. I reach back with one hand and alternately massage my clitoris and his balls." You get the picture. The author basically makes this a primer on back door loving, from beginning to end, so to speak, stopping just short of discussing how to avoid santorum problems. In fact, the story is so positive about the practice maybe we'll ask the girls to read it and tell them it is a hint.
This is classic Rampage—sleaze dressed up as journalism, written from the point-of-view of a sexually precocious sixteen-year-old, but doubtless penned by a thirty-something aspiring Faulkner. Did any of these hacks go on to write novels? Who can say? It's always a fun game uncovering the respectable authors behind sex fiction, but in the case of tabloids the undoubtedly informal nature of commissioning the articles would make tracing their provenance an impossible task. The authors would have to admit it themselves. And why on earth would they do that? Eleven scans below.

Sticking with the recent tabloid theme, above is a National Informer Weekly Reader that hit newsstands today in 1974. Inside is a rather funny story about a Honolulu restaurant called Dunes, which was allegedly staffed by nude waiters. Do we buy this tale? We didn't at first, but we checked online and sure enough—there was such a place and owner Jack Cione did indeed feature nude waiters during lunch service. We're for nudity of any sort, male included, but we don't want any stray dick tips in our shrimp salad, so maybe we'd pass on the actual lunch aspect.
Also in the issue editors ask, "What Ever Happened To June?" That would be British pin-up June Wilkinson, who not been seen on the showbiz circuit since starring with her husband—NFL star Dan Pastorini—in the film Weed: The Florida Connection. After Weed Wilkinson didn't appear onscreen for eleven years. Occasionally, that's a sign you've made a disastrous movie, and Weed is indeed terrifically bad. We'll talk about it a bit later. We have eleven more scans from National Informer Weekly Reader below, including a nice shot of Italian sex symbol Nadia Cassini.

Japanese model Nami Asada gained wide recognition for posing naked with an apple for a Yoichi Aoyagi photograph, an unusual way to become a celebrity for sure, but certainly worthwhile, at least in our opinion. The photo, which appeared in the magazine Heibon Punch, preceded a best-selling book of images called Apple 1972-1977. You see the cover for that at right. That release turned into a follow-up called Apple 2, a third book called Another Apple, and so forth. The photo above comes from the Apple sessions and was featured in the same 1973 Heibon Punch as the Ryôko Ema image we shared last week. We have dozens of Apple shots, but so do other people. If you're interested you can see some at the website Bulles de Japon, here.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to be impressed by those who do. Especially when it comes to art. The very nice image above was shot by Parisian photographer Dani Olivier. He has published three photo books, exhibited his pieces all over France, as well as in galleries in such places as Kiev, Moscow, and Los Angeles, and describes his work as an effort to create nude portraits "that [haven't] been shot before." Ah, but they have been shot before, Dani, they surely have, and by one of your countrymen, no less—Fernand Fonssagrives, as we discussed here.
There's no doubting Olivier's light patterns are more varied and detailed, however Fonssagrives might have gone in a similarly precise direction had he possessed similarly superior projection technology. In any case, we love Dani Olivier's work. But the quote about its originality caught our eye, as well as the fact that none of the articles we checked on him mentioned Fonssagrives, so we were pretty much compelled to bring up the old master, who certainly deserves his just due.

The "Mike" referred to by Luis in Goodyear, Az is Mike Ross. He threatened my life this morning. I spoke to a Michael Good as well. He told me that the name of the supervisor was Gabriel Kick but futher investigation reveals no such person in the US or Canada. I have alerted the FCC, the FTC and the AG's office in NY. I also filed a criminial complaint with the NY state police regarding the threat. I intend to visit the PA AG's filed office tomorrow with all of these complaints IN HAND to see if there is something that can be done about these low-rent losers!! I have also contacted the major networks (ie:NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX) in hopes that someone exposes these lizards so that no one else suffers the same way that we all have. I am interested in pursuing a class action if anyone is on-board!
I will update you with further developments!
Like I told Mr. Ross this morning...

Upon deplaning I was greeted by a small but spacious and superbly appointed six-gate terminal which was quite welcoming. The terminal is remarkably well-maintained and is very user-friendly with nice short distances good signage and a few clean shops to pick up a magazine or a quick meal. The personnel (both Delta and the airport security) were some of the most courteous airport employees that I have seen in a while with an genuine eagerness to serve. The only downside to DAB is the relatively small number of airlines and flight choices; prices are often higher than Orlando or Jacksonville and you will probably have to catch a connecting flight through a major hub to get to your destination. And auto racing fans can catch a good view of Daytona International Speedway (right across the street from the airport) on landing if they are lucky. Recommendedno

See? Harvey,(Mastersofconcretepoure rs)is revealing real names after announcing to everyone not to do it because it is against the rules. "Mster" and 1M other sock names had nothing to do with destroying this forum by endlessly posting someone's criminal record over and over and over and over and over and over, did you Harve?

You've posted Old Cold Warrior's real name many times.
You forgot about the the picture site Dennis made of a previous residence where I lived. I'll find that in the bookmarks and post it

Baloney. You are a phoney Harvey.
I couldn't care less about your feud with Dennis. Two wrongs do not make a right and posting his personal information multiple times per day for YEARS is not justified by anything.
Leon is vulgar and stupid. You are vicious and evil.

No job or women or life or wife or spouse, the cyber-turds waste their time and words in their little make-believe imaginary playhouse; fantasies have them smilin', when they imagine that they can plan and ban someone from their little island, hoping someone will give up and quit and give a shit. They are mean and envious but not sweet, knowing that conerning learning and real writing, they cannot compete. They want to care it and share it but cannot bear it, these little liberal wannabe squat to pee MSNBC parrots.

K's Restaurant in Brookville, Ohio, has a great real coffee-counter discussion site, where men can sit and drink coffee and bitch and complain and fight. They don't cuss and fuss much while they discuss much about the government they do not love or trust much; while looking at waitresses and pretty patrons whom they'd like to touch.

But the Tallaght native, who separated from his wife last year, says, for now, he isn't interested in relationships and is concentrating instead on getting his weight under control.
"Dr Eva came to my house last week -- we had great fun and I saw a whole different side to her," Gavin told the Herald.
"She's great fun to be around, but it's just an old joke between us that she's going to find me a woman.
"I'm not too pushed right now as I'm trying to figure out what I want so I'm not looking for anything," added Gavin, who has four children.
Gavin auditioned for the sixth series of the hit weight loss show after the break-up of his marriage and he blames gruelling shift-work for causing havoc with his diet.
The 35-year-old sparked one of the most emotional scenes of the show so far when he opened up to show psychologist Dr Eddie Murphy about his feelings of loneliness.

They will take your money, then approx 25 hours after they send an email requesting additional information and to reset the 24 hour clock for the unlock code. 24 Hours later like clockwork you receive another email stating they cannot unlock your phone. They also give you a lost of possible options to unlock the phone number. One should be to call an online co that knows what they bare doing.

8 of 8 people found the following review helpful
Depends what you are looking for..........,
This review is from: Awakening The Spine (Paperback)
There have been a number of reviews of this book already. Why add one more?
Well, the existing reviews seem to fall into the "love it or hate it" category. I read just about the whole of this book in a very understanding bookshop in Sydney. I did not buy it then; I was looking for more "instructional" books. But I remember more of the content than I would have believed possible on so short an acquaintance, in fact I was quite sure I had bought a copy until I had gone through everything we shipped back from Australia. Alas it is not currently available, otherwise I would certainly be buying a copy right now.
The book is valuable for its reflection of a life inspired by yoga, and as a demonstration of what can be achieved by someone who came to yoga relatively late in life. Her anecdotes of meetings with the 'giants' of modern yoga underpin the theme that finding the correct teacher is crucial to a student's development. And none of this is presented with the self-serving egotism which, I'm afraid, disgraces many well-known writers on yoga (even some of the best).
Not a book to buy if you are short of cash, but certainly one to read - and to lend to your friends.

Rooney appeal
Rooney's appeal against his ban has, unsurprisingly, failed.
So, the FA's Kangaroo Court, headed by City fan Bernstein, has its pound of flesh.
Let's see what happens in any future case.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Eric Cantona Eric Cantona Apr 7, 2011 18:12 Flag
So the FA has dug a mighty big whole for itself.
United fans will now want every player seen swearing, starting with Crouch, treated the same.
- 3 Replies to Eric Cantona
The ridiculous thing is that in every single match you can lip-read players effing and blinding when a decision doesn't go their way, or even when a shot goes agonisingly wide. If all the players were wearing microphones every game would sound like an episode of The Osbournes.
This is the absurd thing about Dave Steer's viewpoint - swearing goes on all over the pitch. And let's not forget the crowd who are perfectly audible and somewhat given to colourful language. Should they all be banned from games? And God forbid that cameras and microphones ever enter the dressing-room at half-time! This is all a storm in a teacup. When will people get real? Gerrard hired a gangster to shoot a man in the face, he battered a bloke in a bar, yet he is still a cuddly role model, whereas Wayne utters one of the most commonly used words in the English language and is crucified by the middle-class media and outraged of Tunbridge Wells types like DSteer.
That's "hole", Eric.
When will the idiots who run the FA be replaced / removed from running our game. Rooney has admitted his guilt requested that his ban be reduced issued an apology ....What else does he have to do ???
I seem to recall when he was on England duty and he was swearing at the cameras about the England fans on his way off the pitch NO action was taken by the FA (And even FIFA didn't poke their noses in) as I guess that they thought his absence would be detrimental to the England team ....HYPOCRITES

i think we are so quick to take responsibility away from ppl these days.
& this is the cas again with rooney.
lets blame the cameraman or the media.
if rooney doesnt act like an angry idiot then theres no prob.
what next? u can celebrate by doing a wanka sign to the camera?
its ok because most kids now what a wanka sign is.
its the camera mans thought for getting to close.
its like taking the blame away from your rooneys & crouchs for cheating, by blaming it on the girls who hand it to them on a plate.
its still rooney/crouch choosing to cheat.

"We've already established lots of players swear at European jreferees without getting bans for it. It was purely because he did it to camera wih a big nasty f word (albeit after 9pm) that he got the ban" So you thought it was harsh ? Am I misunderstanding " it was purely because he did it to camera with a nasty f word"

All this talk about working class and middle class reminds me of that series with John Prescott when he said to a young woman in a run down area that she was working class and she told him she wasn`t cause she didn`t work. Its also wort noting that those sections of the press that like to label football a `working class` sport seem totally unaware of the history of the game and the fact that for many years in the 19th century the most successful team in the fa cup were the Old Etonians and that until blackburn won the trophy towards the end of the century their main rivals were other old boys teams such as Charterhouse.

"So now Mason is corrupt and in Man City's pocket? Where did that come from?" Now did I write that ? Don't think I did. But , do you deny that the ex-chairman of Man City is not the chairman of the FA ?
I misread the final sentence in your response to Robert. Apologies for that. That said, regardless of their middle-class origins, you cannot deny that the members of these extreme right groups today are primarily working class.
You can go on about 'middle-class ponces' all you like. I think you'll find that the reason that many middle-class people have a problem with those from the working class is because they have been blameless victims of ASBO-esque behaviour. I know I have.
Stefan, you perhaps shouldn't jump to conclusions so easily. I was involved with anti-fascist groups for a number of years. So I can easily attest that your "utter tripe" jibe is based on a lack of knowledge.
Let's take Combat 18/Headhunters & the notorious Chris Henderson for starters. Henderson despite his claims to being white and working-class was actually the son of a Lord and was educated at Charterhouse public school. Ian Stuart Donaldson of Skrewdriver fame was also a middle-class boy. Don't be deceived by appearances.
The NF's leadership was almost totally middle-class: Colin Jordan, John Tyndall, Martin Webster, Griffin, etc, etc.
These groups did attract working-class support, but nearly all of those people came from Tory-voting families and consequently had anti-working-class politics.
We've already established lots of players swear at European jreferees without getting bans for it. It was purely because he did it to camera wih a big nasty f word (albeit after 9pm) that he got the ban.
Drogba's ban hasn't stopped players swearing at European referees, nor got them banned, nor caused United fans to whinge on and on about unfairness to Drogba. This ain't no different.
It will sink in eventually.

So robert, let's take your logic and agree Rooney should have been banned, fair enough. Can you explain in a non-pompous way why Ashley Cole is not in prison now, after bringing a gun into work, and shooting someone, or why the FA seems to think shooting someone is not a serious offence ?
i don't remember coming to a conclusion about whether I thought it harsh or not. You can trawl through the relevant posts and enlighten me if you like. I think I was entirely more bothered about the outrageous refereeing and its implications than Drogba getting his normal holiday at the start of thenext CL campaign.

Monday, Circuit Court Judge Rosemary Aquilina ruled that the Lansing City Council was wrong to deny an application for tax breaks by the Gillespie Group at last Monday's meeting. The ruling, which came just before Monday's meeting, is immediate and means the development surrounding the City Marketplace can go forward.
Last week, council voted 4-4 to approve the application. Five were needed for it to pass.
Here's the official ruling handed down by Judge Aquilina:
"NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED adjudged and decreed that the Marketplace Development Brownfield Plan #52 complied with all applicable criteria and considerations under the Brownfield Redevelopment Act and should have been approved by the Lansing City Council and, therefore, as of the date of this Order, the Marketplace Redevelopment Brownfield Plan #52 submitted by Plaintiff and the Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority is APPROVED for all purposes consistent with the Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Act (the "Act"). This order shall constitute the approval of the governing body of the municipality (in this case the Lansing City Council) as contemplated by the Act."
