All of us at Creating Hope International (CHI) and the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) would like to thank our donors for their support of our "Fast-Tracking" program. Since January, we have educated almost 15,000 women and girls in a variety of subjects, including literacy, tailoring, and computers. The "Fast-Tracking" program allows women to receive education at a different speed than traditional school classes, which are more geared toward educating students at a steady pace. The program allows for a flexible schedule, where students can get educated in a subject in a matter of months or at their own pace if their schedule does not permit them to go to class every day.
From January to July this year, AIL has taught literacy courses to over 3,700 students, 2,300 of which were women and girls. Many of our 200+ literacy classes are part of the fast-tracking program, and are a big reason why we are able to reach so many. AIL has also started offering classes in 'mobile literacy', that is, teaching literacy through texting with cell phones. This method has proved to be very fast and efficient in literacy education. A student can enter a mobile literacy course illiterate and leave reading and writing at a 3rd grade level in as little as 5 months.
One girl who attended one of our centers, Nafas, took a fast-tracking course in literacy:
I am a 19 year old girl and I have two children. I hoped one day to go to school and become literate, but because there was no school and the unsafe situation in our area I couldn't go to school and learn. I told myself that if I could go to school, I would get a job and reach my goals.
It was painful for me when my brother was able to read and write, but I couldn't. One day I saw some women with their children who were going somewhere, I asked, "Excuse me, where are you going?" She answered, "A learning center has been opened for illiterate women and their children recently. I want to go to register myself and my children." When I heard it, I was so happy and I said to her, "Please wait a minute I should go with you and start literacy class, too." I soon took my veil and joined them to go to the learning center. When we arrived, I was excited because I saw a lot of women there who had been learning. Right now I can write, read and I can say proudly that I am literate, and I am reaching my wishes and goals.
Nafas' story is one of many similar stories. Women with children want to get educated, but cannot do it the conventional way. AIL is reaching thousands of women and children from all backgrounds. The Fast-Tracking program is just one of many programs helping to bring education, health, and equality to Afghanistan. Again, we want to thank our donors for helping so many people, all of us greatly appreciate it!
So many wonderful things have happened for the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) in the last few weeks, and we're very excited to share a few of them with you.
First, on Tuesday the Executive Director of AIL, Sakena Yacoobi received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Princeton University. The official citation reads:
With a profound reverence for the well-being of others, this visionary leader devotes her life to the empowerment of poor Afghan women and children. With an unwavering commitment to social justice, against all odds, and often at great personal risk, she built and sustains an institute that makes healthcare and education possible for the most vulnerable. It owes its success in establishing clinics, teaching children, and training educators and caregivers to the deep and lasting ties she has forged with the people she serves and with global communities of care. After decades of work, she is still creating hope, in her home country and throughout the world.
Additionally, AIL has had two articles posted at The Huffington Post. The first focuses on AIL's belief that Education Is the Way to a Healthier Country.
The second article details AIL's Mobile Literacy Program, giving details of how adding texting to a traditional literacy curriculum helped to accelerate the pace of learning.
Finally, tomorrow is a Global Giving Matching Day, and because AIL is a superstar partner, all donations will be matched at 50%! Matching will begin at 9:00 am EST and funds generally run out after just a few hours.To select a project that you might like to donate to, visit AIL's page on GlobalGiving.
The Afghan Institute of Learning is very excited to have been given the opportunity to blog at Huffington Post! Our first blog about the Women's Networking Movement taking place in some of AIL's centers has been posted. The Women's Networking Movement is taking place in about 30 of AIL's centers, schools and clinics. The women coming to these centers are sharing thoughts and ideas in ways that have not been possible until recently.
To learn more about the Women's Networking Movement, check out our blog at Huffington Post!
Creating Hope International, AIL's partner, has set up a Facebook page where we will be sharing more news, pictures and information about AIL's programs. Make sure that you 'Like' Creating Hope International on Facebook to get all the latest news!
2013 has thus far been a successful year for Creating Hope International (CHI) and the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL). Our learning centers are growing and expanding, and the attendance rates for our Herat and Kabul centers are significantly higher than the rates recorded last year. Small communities in rural parts of the country have requested that AIL open centers in their villages, because they see the positive impact these centers have on communities comparable to their own. Changes like these are promising because it shows that perceptions on educating women and girls has transformed to the point where communities are actively requesting that AIL educate their wives and daughters.
We are providing education to a growing number of women and girls of all ages and backgrounds. In January of this year, we brought education to over 7,300 girls in subjects such as literacy, English, Arabic, and computer technology. We have also provided these women and girls with ample opportunities to gain skills in sewing, tailoring, carpet and silk weaving, macramé, and painting. All of these skills open doors for careers and other opportunities to make an income. In addition, our Fast-Track program has opened doors to women and girls by providing them with flexible schedules to learn the basics as fast or as slow as they are able to. We have recently started a mobile literacy course where students can obtain accelerated proficiency in literacy in as little as 4 months. Again, we wish to thank you all for your generosity and compassion in making these hopeful changes possible!
The Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) and Creating Hope International (CHI) would like to wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons. As you celebrate with those you love, please take a moment to look at CHI's yearly newsletter, which we've attached to this report. As you will see, 2012 has been a transformative year for AIL and CHI. After years of working tirelessly to provide education, training and healthcare to Afghans, we are beginning to see a real change. The minds of those AIL works with are being opened to the possibility of a peaceful Afghan society.
AIL is in the process of finalizing a 5 year funding plan, which will be put into place beginning in 2013. We are looking forward to sharing the details of this plan with you soon, and hope that you will find it in your heart to give generously to help us reach our goal. The people of Afghanistan are making great strides, but our work is not done yet. Instead of backing down, we need to push ahead and continue to give Afghans the tools they need to create a more peaceful country. We are hoping that we can count on you to help continue our work.
The women are beginning to see that through education they can have a better life, and are insisting on educating their children. They are taking charge of their health, and we are seeing more and more women requesting workshops on pre-natal issues as well as reproductive health. AIL is encouraged to see so many Afghan women looking forward to a brighter future and is planning to be there to help the women lead the way to the Afghanistan of their dreams.
Finally, we'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that donations up to $2,000 are being matched at 50% by the Safer World Matching Fund, while funds last. Take this opportunity to make your donation go further this holiday season.

Assurance (or lack of it) that an employee has about the continuity of gainful employment for his or her work life. Job security usually arises from the terms of the contract of employment, collective bargaining agreement, or labor legislation that prevents arbitrary termination, layoffs, and lockouts. It may also be affected by general economic conditions.
Use job security in a sentence
The job security of the software engineer was 100% because he knew he had ten other companies that would immediately hire him if need be.
I did not have a feeling of job security and it made me think that I would be losing my job very soon.
Since people are living longer every year the medical field need is steadily rising, and this is great for persons in these fields due to their job security.

Steam's February update for Greenlight adds another ten games and two other software products, the cream of Greenlight's crude. Oddly enough, there aren't any "big name" titles in this wave of greenlit games, but there weren't really any last month either. They're almost all indie darlings with a few mobile ports coming to PC. Of the over seventy greenlit titles, sixteen games have been released.
Here's the full list of new gaming titles from this month's Greenlight:
- Anodyne
- Distance
- Evoland
- Huntsman:The Orphanage
- Kingdom Rush
- Legends of Dawn
- Organ Trail: Director's Cut
- Receiver
- Surgeon Simulator 2013
- War Thunder
My personal recommendations are Kingdom Rush, Anodyne, and of course the wonderfully realistic Surgeon Simulator 2013. Which titles are actually available yet, or will be available soon is unclear. Sometime's it would be nice if Valve provided a bit more information in their press releases.
Check out Steam Greenlight to get a better look at each of these games and what their release schedule looks like. Also, add your voice to what should be included in next month's wave of greenlit titles.

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
by Benjamin Franklin
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Education Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Paragraph)
Quote #4
[B]eing on some Occasion made asham'd of my Ignorance in Figures, which I had twice fail'd in learning when at School, I took Cocker's Book of Arithmetic, and went thro' the whole by myself with great Ease. I also read Seller's and Sturmy's Books of Navigation, and became acquainted with the little Geometry they contain, but never proceeded far in that Science. (1.21)
Education for Franklin isn't just about reading, although that's what he likes best. He wants to know everything. Even though he was only in school for a little while, he managed to flunk out of math twice. So he's compelled by both his desire just to be better educated and his embarrassment at not knowing better math, to seek out subjects he finds difficult and master them.
Quote #5
The two works I allude to, Sir, will in particular give a noble rule and example of self-education. School and other education constantly proceed upon false principles, and show a clumsy apparatus pointed at a false mark; but your apparatus is simple, and the mark a true one (2.12)
Vaughan makes an argument for why Franklin should keep writing in a way that suggests he knows very well how to influence his old friend. Since Franklin's been so invested in educating himself throughout his life, Vaughan encourages him to keep writing by telling him his life story (and the Art of Virtue, which Franklin doesn't finish) will help other people engage in that same kind of "self-education." This may appeal to Franklin even more than flattery or compliments: seeing his work as an instrument that will help other people to do something he believes in so much.
Quote #6
Reading was the only Amusement I allow'd myself. I spent no time in Taverns, Games, or Frolics of any kind. (2.36)
Franklin's such a crazy, wild man. Right. What we really mean is, he comes off here as constantly virtuous and industrious, not as someone who likes to party. Whether that's true is another story. According to what he says here, though, in order to motivate himself to keep getting better educated and continue learning, he considers reading a pleasure as well as a practical or important activity. He equates it to more traditional "Amusements" like gambling and drinking, and uses it as a replacement for fun social time.

I'm setting up a Dynamic Content Gallery on a custom page template so that the gallery shows up to the left of the page's content. I used a table setup with the DCG in a left cell and the page's content in the right cell.
The problem is: the page content is aligning with the bottom of the gallery window. I've used valign=top in the tables, but am baffled as to why my content title's baseline is aligning with the bottom of the gallery window. Whatever height I make the gallery window in the CSS settings on DCG, the content cell's title moves with it.
Any ideas why this would be happening?

Frequently Asked Questions
|Specific Race Day Instructions
|ADDRESS is 1700 Butterworth Drive SW, Grand Rapids. Your GPS might take you farther out Butterworth, so be cool. When you go past the Coke Plant and under the underpass, you'll veer left into the park.
PACKET PICKUP at Fulton Street Pub & Grill, 801 W. Fulton St, Grand Rapids Friday night from 3pm-8pm. At Race site, Saturday morning starting at 5:30am
PARKING There is plenty of parking on-site
WATER TABLES There are two water tables for elite runners. Yes, that means YOU. If you want your own special water bottles, we will have two boxes available until 6:30 for your bottle to be transferred to each of the two aid stations. After the "elite" water tables, there will also be water and Gatorade. Just past the aid station, there's a "drop zone" where you can drop your bottle and it will be transported back to the "elite" water table.
PACING: We'll have signs at the starting line. Talk to the people who are shooting for the same times, and plan to work together with them as you work your way into Boston! You may use GPS technology. The first three digits of your race bib correspond to your BQ time, so you can easily find the people you want to pace with.
|Will this get me into Boston 2017?
|Yes, if you make the qualifying standards.
- Early Registration (20 minutes below qualifying standards) starts on the Monday following our race.
- Or the first day of General Registration (all qualifying times) the next Monday. We will keep you posted as we hear more from the BAA about the opening of the 2017 qualification window.
|What race finish times are needed to make me eligible for the Last Chance BQ.2.
|Our "recommended standards" can be found on our Eligibility page.
|Do you have Pace Teams?
|No. We have something better. The first three digits of your bib number are your qualifying time. Example: If your qualifying time is 3:30, your bib number will be 330-XX. You will line up with the people with the same qualifying time, where you can work together with others who have the same goal. The object of this race is to get EVERYBODY to Boston, so while there's competition, there's also cooperation.
|How will the Elite water bottle tables work?
|Get ready – you are about to be treated like an elite runner! Just bring one or two of your own water bottles filled with your (preferably non-performance enhancing, non-alcoholic) drink of choice, and marked with your bib#. (Bib numbers and marking instructions will be available before the race.) Tables of 25-30 bottles each will be available along the route at both of the aid stations (see the course map) marked with the last two digits of your bib number. For example,Know your bib#, know your table location, and volunteers at each table will help insure you get the right bottle, and in many cases will be ready to just hand it to you as you run by.If you drink-and-drop in the designated drop zone within 200 yards, we will retrieve your bottle and have it waiting for you the next loop. (as long as it remains properly marked). A Water / Gatorade station will be available shortly after the elite water table in case you miss your bottle on any loop. And the starting line is a special drop zone, so you can keep your bottle with you until the gun goes off.
|When / where is Packet Pickup?
|Packet Pickup will be available Friday at Fulton Street Pub and Grill from 3-8pm, and on race morning beginning at 5:30 am.
|Do you offer gear check?
|Will there be Finisher Medals?
|Absolutely. Runners have always loved our medals, and the Last Chance 26.2 medals will be another big hit. As a finisher, you will get one regardless of whether or not you meet your qualification goal (but we hope that you do!) as long as you finish within the 4:30:00 time limit.
|Will there be Age Group Awards?
|No, the size and purpose of the race make Boston qualification your award. There will be an award for the top Male and Female. Unlike Facebook, however, we are not able to offer awards to the top 'transgender', 'gender fluid', 'intersex', or 'neither' finishers. Pick a washroom, use it, and register for that gender's award.
|Will you offer race shirts?
|Yes, we will be offering gender specific long sleeve tech shirts, ideal to kick off your fall Boston training or to wear on a cool Boston race day! See the question on Age Group Awards for gender details.
|I'm already signed up for a the Metro Health Grand Rapids Marathon race. Can I run this instead?
|Yes, (space permitting), if you are eligible for the Last Chance BQ.2 race, you can sign up before May 31, notify us via email and we will refund your MHGRM entry fee. So pick a spring half, get eligible, and take the plunge.
|I've registered but cannot run. Are there and Refunds, Deferrals, or Transfers
|No, No, and No.

We save money to get things we can't afford to buy now. Saving for the future requires patience but it can be worth it when we get what we want the most. Successful savings depends on three elements which are presented to students as the ABCs of saving. A is for Aim: setting a goal. B is for Bank: creating a place to put savings. C is for Coins and currency: making saving money a habit. Students participate in an activity in which they must distinquish between short-term and long-term goals. In a second activity, they discover that when they decide to save for a future goal, they are giving up the opportunity to buy something now. What they give up is their opportunity cost—the thing they wanted second most. The well-known fable about The Grasshopper and the Ants helps illustrate this point. Big Banks, Little Banks (http://???) can be used as a follow-up lesson introducing students to the advantages and disadvantages of different savings places.
The picture book One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference, written by Kate Smith Milway, takes place in Africa. Here in a Ghanan village, young Kojo cannot afford to go to school after the death of his father. His resourceful mother takes out a small loan and with a few leftover coins he buys a chicken. Soon he is selling eggs and with the profit slowly acquires a large flock. Kojo is able to complete his education and establishes a business that becomes the foundation of his entire community. Upon adulthood, Kojo loans money to aspiring entrepreneurs and the cycle of economic growth continues. Based on a real-life story, this upbeat microfinance story helps students grasp economic and personal finance concepts and admire creative problem solving.
This lesson will help students become good consumers and producers by taking turns buying and selling things in a classroom-created market. Students will establish prices for items and observe what happens during the sale of those items.
The following lessons come from the Council for Economic Education's library of publications. Clicking the publication title or image will take you to the Council for Economic Education Store for more detailed information.
This interdisciplinary curriculum guide helps teachers introduce their students to economics using popular children's stories.
29 out of 29 lessons from this publication relate to this EconEdLink lesson.
This publication contains 15 lessons that complement the 3-5 Student Workbook. Specific to grades 3-5 are a variety of activities, including a guessing game using clues to identify various occupations; the story Urban Mouse and Rural Mouse which teaches students about entrepreneurs and opportunity recognition; and a role-playing activity in which students learn which method of payment is appropriate in a variety of situations.
17 out of 17 lessons from this publication relate to this EconEdLink lesson.
This publication contains fourteen lessons that use a unique blend of games, simulations, and role playing to illustrate economics in a way elementary students will enjoy.

I have a long-standing interest in bioinformatics, especially in the identification/prediction of the function of viral genes by database searching. It is clear that standard search techniques are not always adequate to recognize distantly, but significantly related sequences. Examples include the identification of the myxoma interferon-gamma binding protein and the vaccinia uracil DNA glycosylase. More recently we have focused on trying to predict viral genes by examining pI and amino acid content.
We are also developing databases and software to analyze viruses. These tools are useful for the characterization of viral genes, proteins and genomes; they are especially useful for comparative genomic studies and have user-friendly graphical interfaces. A wide variety of virus families are supported.

D700 problem with hot shoe?
I'll preface my question by saying that I own two D700 cameras and my results have moved up to an entirely different level with them. When I transitioned from the D200 to the D700, I assessed it not as an evolutionary change, but a revolutionary one. It raised the bar by an order of magnitude. I am neither a Nikon hater nor a D700 disliker. I love both.
But now -- my problem. My second D700 body is off for service, including replacing the hot shoe because of problems with communication between the camera and SB-800 flashes. I was informed today that I am in for a hot shoe replacement on this body and when I asked if that was unusual, I was informed that this has not been an unusual repair -- they have replaced "a lot" of them.
Again, I am not complaining about my D700 cameras -- just their hot shoes -- and I think it is high time that Nikon acknowledges there is possibly a problem. In the meantime, I am going to get a flash bracket of some sort and move my SB800s off of the hot shoe, both to move the light source farther from the lens axis and to take the strain, that it appears the camera cannot take.
I'm not calling for a revolt or a march on Nikon or a class-action suit. I have no thought of changing brands or replacing either of my bodies or anything else rash. But I'd be interested in other D700 users' experiences with their hot shoes and Nikon flashes on same. This marks the 3rd repair I have needed on a D700 -- and that is the third Nikon body I have had to have repaired in 40+ years -- two times now for hot shoes. Coincidence?

as i recall, early on, there were numerous posts about repairs for the D700 hot shoe problem. If I remember correctly, the tolerance of the hotshoe was a bit loose allowing the flash to move enough communication with the camera was lost. some brave souls tried tapping on the top edges of the shoe with a hammer to bend them down a bit solving the problem in some cases at least.

I was one of those that adjusted the hot shoe by carefully pressing down at several points along the length of each L shaped legs to close the gap. I used my drill press (turned off of course) with a squared off 3/8 inch diameter rod in the chuck. This really worked! BUT it took sometime before I noticed that my manual focus was out, but my auto focus was right on.
One of my photography experts said the problem could be that the manual focus uses the prism mirror to verify focus but autofocus does not. So, the act of me pushing down on these contacts may have thrown out the alignment of the prism, but I'm not sure since I had also dropped the camera once.
Why didn't I notice this out of focus problem earlier? I thought it was my poor shooting technique or manual focus abilities. After carefully shooting to eliminate poor technique to test manual focus I determined there was actually something wrong with my D700 and it wasn't me. I finally sent it in for repair with copies of my out of focus test photos. Nikon did a wonderful job of repairing the out of my warranty camera by replacing the rubber grips, focusing screen, card holder door AND replacing the hot shoe. This cost me $224 USD plus the cost of me shipping the camera to Nikon. I have not had a problem since with my SB900 firing erratically, so the replacing of the hot shoe and what ever else Nikon did to fix the manual focus did fix the flash issue too.
In conclusion:
1. I wouldn't push down on the L shaped legs.
2. The erratic flash firing is, I think, a Nikon problem that should be fixed by Nikon by sending it in for repair under warranty - if the camera still is under warranty, or providing a complaint to see if Nikon will repair without charge. I could not try this because of me making adjustments to the contacts. Good luck!
Update: I just read ajdooley's comment that he has replaced his hotshoe 2 or 3 times already, so my currently working hotshoe may begin loosening up it's contacts again. I have to admit that the pressing down technique I used had to be done periodically to maintain a good connection. Based on this, I think the Nikon flash connection design should be changed to similar connection Canon uses which consists of a thumbscrew that firmly pushes the unit onto the contacts - however, I have read there have been issues with that design too, but not related to erratic flashing. If erratic flashing starts up again, I will just go with the off-camera connection rather than sending it in for a new hotshoe. In any case, something needs to be done to permanently fix this problem.

#2. "RE: D700 problem with hot shoe?" | In response to Reply # 0
I had the hotshoe problem with D700. The hotshoe exhibits some odd misfires when communicating with the flash. I experienced frequent unwanted low-power discharges; almost as if the flash were "loose", even when fully secured. Then I shipped to be repaired at APS spending about $300. At the studio I work, there were 6-7 D700 had the same problems.
Now I use "water guard (WG-AS3)", when I place SB900 on hotshoe of D700 or even D800e.
#4. "RE: D700 problem with hot shoe?" | In response to Reply # 2MTP1 Nikonian since 14th Apr 2009Mon 30-Jul-12 01:07 AM
I have a D200, the first Digital I purchased, and a D700. I opened Nikonians tonight to ask about the very problem you posted. I have had my D700 for over a year with no problems. I am in Boston now helping my first grandson celebrate his 2nd birthday. I brought my D700 with a SB910 and SAB900 flash.When I tried taking pictures, neither flash would work when attached to the flash shoe of the D700 . I tried both flashes on my daughter's D200 and they worked perfectly. I was able to take some pictures with my D700 by shooting the SB910 or the SB900 remotely by using the pop up flash on the camera as commander. This is the first time that this problem has occurred. I was hoping that I had just pushed a wrong button or changed a menu setting somewhere by mistake, and someone on the forum could advise me of a possible solution. But from reading your post I probably need to send the camera to Nikon for repair. Do you agree?
Thank you,

#6. "RE: D700 problem with hot shoe?" | In response to Reply # 0
Update: I got one of my D700 bodies back, with a new hot shoe. It is DEFINITELY tighter and the SB-800 more rigid than on the one that has had problems again. But... try this before you send the camera off:
-- Clean the contacts ob both the camer hot shoe and the flash.
-- Mount the flash on the camera. If it is loose, gently press it backward , and if it resumes functioning correctly, the issue is a loose or "sloppy-loose" hot shoe. Before you spend $200+, I'd be inclined to try the water guard recommended elsewhere in this thread and or go to a flash bracket and connection to the hot shoe. That puts less stress on the camera hot shoe and reduced red eye substantially. I don't recommend trying to bend the hotshoe closed a little, as some have done. There are parts under it and dinging them is a distinct possibility -- probability in my clumsy case!
I am NOT a camera repairman -- but this worked for me. I am now more convinced than ever, that the D700 hot shoe is NOT strong enough to take the use many of us subject it to when using Nikon flashes. It seems to "open up" under use, causing insufficient contact with the contacts and thus, disabling communication between the flash and camera.

Controversy always seems to ensue when rail trails are initially developed. Trail opponents recite a series of flimsy arguments in opposition, just as the trail opponents in McPherson County have recently done. They try to intimidate and bully trail supporters into giving up. That approach has worked to some degree in the past, but as more trails are built and more people use them, the fallacy and motives behind those arguments and tactics become clear.
While trail opponents claim trail developers are operating illegally, they refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the trails and the legal rights trail developers have. They place illegal fences across trail right of ways, blocking access to the trail and falsely claim the trail is "trespassing" on their property.
Trail opponents demand their property rights be protected while blatantly ignoring and abusing the trail owner's property rights.
Trails provide economic benefit to communities, provide healthy, safe places for families to bike, walk and ride horses. Communities with trails will tell you and studies confirm, that crime, vandalism, litter, and other hazards opponents cite seldom occur. Trail opponents bring up these issues to instill fear and are not based on the reality surrounding trails.
I would encourage the McPherson County Commissioners to educate themselves on the benefits of trails and their positive impact on communities. Commissioners should view The Central Kansas Conservancy's efforts to develop the trail as a free public recreational enhancement not created at taxpayer expense.
Something to be promoted, encouraged and enjoyed by all.

Yes, Greg, end your vicious name-calling
Andrew Bolt
–, Tuesday, October, 16, 2012, (7:21am)
Shame on them - not just for their hypocrisy, but for the poison they spread:
End the name-calling! Insiders:
COMBET: The Insiders is a show that is known to listen to a lot of this (politics), but people outside hear bits of it. And I think they would prefer politicians to get off name-calling and get on with the business of government.
End the name-calling? Leader of the house Anthony Albanese, Hansard, February 9, 13, 16, 29 and June 25:
IN your guts, you know he (Tony Abbott) is nuts.
Defence Materiel Minister Jason Clare, Hansard, February 29:
(ABBOTT) stands for nothing. He is the Nancy Reagan of Australian politics without the astrology: say no to everything, just rancid, dripping, relentless negativity.
Julia Gillard, Hansard, May 28:
(ABBOTT) is Gina Rinehart's butler.
Labor MP Richard Marles interview, May 29:
TONY Abbott is . . . a dog of a candidate.
Labor MP Rob Mitchell tweets, May 29:
ABBOTT is a Neanderthal.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports on posters on Health Minister Tanya Plibersek's walls, June 1:
TONY Abbott: Note to ladies: Make me a sandwich.
Tony Abbott: I'm threatened by boats and gays. Gays on boats are my worst nightmare.
Wayne Swan, Hansard, June 18:
THE Leader of the Opposition (is) a dodgy snake oil salesman.
Labor MP Mark Dreyfus, Hansard, June 26:
YOU'RE left thinking that (Tony Abbott) sees political advantage in people dying.
The PM, Hansard, August 20:
LIKE Jack the Ripper, he is going to be there wielding his knife.
The Treasurer, Hansard, September 11:
HE wants to go the biff day after day after day . . . His aggressive negativity, day after day, going the biff, showing aggression . . . He is a thug.
Swan tweets, September 19:
TONY Abbott is the poster child for the vile, bully-boy values.
Gillard, Hansard, October 9:
I WILL not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man. I will not—not now, not ever. If he wants to know what misogyny looks like in modern Australia, he does not need a motion in the House of Representatives; he needs a mirror.
Labor MP Steve Gibbons tweets, October 10:
THAT douchebag Tony Abbott.
Have Your Say
Actually saw Combet on the Insiders on Sunday am. Loved It - never seen anyone looking so downcast and miserable. Whenever Emerson, Albanese, et al. appear on the TV I love the misery in their faces. They're on a loser and they know it. Gives me a nice warm glow and hope for the future.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (08:32am)
And this is our government.
And to think, people actually voted for this rabble and will do so again in large numbers.
Has our decline ever been made so clear?
Tue 16 Oct 12 (08:34am)
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:06am)
People that vote labor bring shame to themselves. How can anyone be happy with the vile that comes from labor? Disgusting.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:37am)
When you have no sense to vote Labor in the first place. Would one have the sense to vote them out next time? Or are there few university Labor voters?
Labor's little McTernans. The hate filled foul mouthed failures destined for the Sulo bin of history. And they won't be recycled.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (08:34am)
With the exception of Kamikaze Wayne, all the slanderers are from seats with huge, safe margins.
As always, it'll be the Poor Bloody Infantry of the Labor Party that'll have to pay for their lousy leadership skills.
Anthony Albanese - Member for Grayndler - 20.6%
Jason Clare - Member for Blaxland - 12.2%
Julia Gillard - Member for Lalor - 22.1%
Richard Marles - Member for Corio - 13.5%
Rob Mitchell - Member for McEwen - 9.2%
Tanya Plibersek - Member for Sydney - 17.1%
Wayne Swan - Member for Lilley - 3.2%
Mark Dreyfus - Member for Isaacs - 10.4%
Steve Gibbons - Member for Bendigo - 9.4%
Tue 16 Oct 12 (08:39am)
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:03am)
And should any of the above be returned at the next election, I'd suggest they would resign from Parliament because they will be embarrassed every time they are focussed on in Parliament.
They won't have the gumption to go full term.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:04am)
"Wayne Swan - Member for Lilley - 3.2%"
The albatross ain't safe…
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:14am)
Interesting Dave, I wonder when Swan will have his light bulb moment and realise he is the biggest loser in your list!
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:24am)
Maybe the true believers could do something about the preselections of these duds. They might be winning their seats but they lose votes for Labor candidates is seats less safe than their own.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:31am)
Be interesting to know what the percentage points would be without the green preferences. I am sure that Swan for one would be gone?
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:37am)
I think anyone with less than a 10% margin could be at risk. I hope so! Why anyone would ever vote labor again I have no idea. I find it hard to believe there are that many who hate their country and don't care for the future of their children.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:39am)
Those margins Dave might have been safe under an averagely bad government, but not under such a disastrous mismanagement as this one.
The Queensland swing was big and those poll figures of 60% Lib/Nats to 40% Labor recently confirm that Labor are facing a wipe out.
What is remarkable is that Gillard gets worse as she tries one stupid desperate tactic after another. If she had had any sense she would have thrown in the towel after the Cattle export fiasco.
You forgot to mention Windsor calling Abbott a rabid dog. Oakeshott and Windsor wanted a new tone and stable government. How's that working out for you's?
Tue 16 Oct 12 (08:44am)
And there you have it Ladies and Gentlemen, people sheltering under the umbrella calling itself a Government. Shame on you Gillard, Swan, Albanese, Labor members. If you put as much dedication into the welfare of this nation Australia would not be in the dilemma it's in. Border protection - gone, businesses closing down, unemployment going up, bills going up, National debt going up, wasted policies with wasted money. Name calling and smear are not becoming of a member in the office of Government. Get on with solving the problems of the above, especially the people smuggling trade! Show some maturity and responsibility.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (08:47am)
Calling someone a douchebag is misogynist.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (08:50am)
Surely you must be joking Andrew? Labor are such
stand up "give him a go" people,and their female
MP's are so prim and proper,they could not utter such garbage-could they? Shame,Shame,Shame!!
In fact the word Shame,has been said almost every day this past year by Deb O'neil sitting up behind Gillard,as day after day Abbott is abused and lied about by LABOR!!!Ever seen him whinge about it?
( Funny thing though,O'neil seems to have changed tact since the Jones business hit town---no one wants to say shame anymore-- )
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:00am)
Andrew all you need do until the next election is just repeat this column every day.
Add the new additions each day also because this mob cannot help themselves and there will be plent more entries.Anything to try and divert our attention away from their inadequacies is the name of their game.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:00am)
What a disgraceful rabble of schoolyard bullies we have running our poor country.
Tony Abbott is right - they would be totally ashamed of themselves if they had the moral courage to have a good hard honest look at their behavior and dishonest accusations - they know Mr Abbott is none of the dreadful things they call him!!!!
And now they want to argue the policies not the man, well that ball has always been in their court, and 'foul ball' calls are on their heads!
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:02am)
Methinks they doth protest too much.
Actually you never hear Tony Abbott say anything remotely as crude as this lot of scumbags.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:04am)
"The Sydney Morning Herald reports on posters on Health Minister Tanya Plibersek's walls, June 1: "
So she didnt say it, other people posted it on her wall....
And what exactly has she done wrong there?
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:05am)
What greg means is that he'd like all the crap his side throws at Tony Abbott not to be returned in spades.
combet reminds me of those fire fighters who start a bush fire so they can go and be heroic by putting it out after it has demolished a few peoples' lives and extinguished a few others. He and his colleagues are, on the whole, exactly what they call their opponents.
But I guess if you have absolutely no policy successes, and your term in office is one expensive disaster after another, then name calling is all you have left.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:11am)
They are ill-mannered and un-Australian in their approach to their high paying public service jobs.
TPilbersek is apparently on the video of the lewd joke about Ms Credlin, and seen laughing and enjoying it.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:15am)
And of course if anybody calls Gillard a 'barren spinster' all hell breaks loose.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:17am)
I see gillard now for what she really is… she is so up herself and really thinks we is doing a great job as leader.... This lady has taken australia to a new low. Other world governments are in real big trouble and here is gillard going on about what she may have been called or going off her face when someone looked at their watch....
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:23am)
The Labor government tactic of smear and fear will backfire.
Newman in Queensland profited from this mudsling nonsense.
The Minister of No Consequence aka Mr Carmel Tebutt is a poor tactician for that once great and respected party.
His dabs were all over the recruitment of Slipper as the Speaker. What a coup- not!
Many saw the dangers and he failed to heed the warnings.
His dabs were all over the failed attack on Tony the Phoney Misogynist. What a debacle.
Just to stop the Coalition having a win on its sack Slipper motion, No Consequence directed the P.M. to make a speech attacking Abbott the Misogynist.
The effect was that she defended the disgusting Slipper, an arch misogynist.
It was clear to anyone watching that her speech was drafted in advance of the debate on the Coalition's motion.
The McTernan factor has magnified No Consequences failings.
In a mud fight all the participants are smeared.
Forget the mud.
Relegate No Consequence. Sack McTernan.
Get back to policies and capabilities and maybe, just maybe the voters can be reached.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:24am)
Good heavens, and these people are running Australia????????? WTF
They are showing themselves to be extremely shallow and stupid
No plan, no ideas, no nothing, so we attack the leader of the Opposition
Abbott has more culture, brains and morality than all of these scum-bags put together.
This has that scottish flea mcternan's grubbly little mits all over it
THANKS OAKSH*T, you really did give us stable government
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:27am)
If one doesn't feel "SHAME AND DISGUST" when reading all that abuse and slander directed at Tony Abbott by the pm and members of parliament , then we as a nation do not desever to be respected by other nations.
Tue 16 Oct 12 (09:28am)
The Name Calling is alive and very well, thank you!
I watched Lateline 1 or 2 days after Julia Gillard's tantrum. Tony Jones interviewed Wayne Swan. Jones asked him if he thinks and agrees that Tony Abbott is a misogynist. His answer was YES I BELIEVE THAT HE IS!!
So much for Ms Gillard now wanting to clean the slate.
Sorry, the cot is empty - and certainly no new toys for Christmas either!
