Gillard - act decisively and go
Piers Akerman –, Monday, April, 30, 2012, (6:46am)
Julia Gillard is floundering in her desperation to hang on to power.
When she suspended Craig Thomson from the Labor benches she declared "I think there is a line which has been crossed here."
Former HSU trade union boss Thomson has had more than four years to explain how union credit cards from his wallet were used at a brothel, how his mobile phone was used to contact that brothel and how his signature managed to get onto receipts from that brothel.
Prime Minister Gillard's own appointees at Fair Work Australia have been conducting the slowest investigation in the history of the nation into the matter and have still not released any material and Thomson has continued to sit on the Labor side of the House.

Labour happy to sink the Slipper if it suits them
Piers Akerman –, Saturday, April, 28, 2012, (8:36pm)
On the one hand Nicola Roxon was happy to force Governor-General Peter Hollingworth out of office but on the other she wants Peter Slipper to stay on.
The Gillard government's daily stumbles make it a must-see reality television program. In recent episodes, the audience has seen Prime Minister Julia Gillard's hand-picked Speaker deny allegations of sexual harassment and misuse of travel entitlements; it has watched Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten audition for Yes, Minister with a jaw-dropping performance in which he says "yes" to whatever Gillard says, may say, or has said, and it has seen Attorney-General Nicola Roxon expose herself as one of the greatest hypocrites in the Labor ranks.
In a performance worthy of a Christmas pantomime, Shorten bobbed up on the box to suggest Slipper should not return to the Speaker's chair while allegations of sexual harassment remained untested.
"In terms of my opinion, the sexual harassment allegations are very harmful, they are very serious," he said on Thursday.
Just hours later, clearly having heard that Gillard wanted Slipper back in the chair ASAP, he reappeared in an interview on Sky TV to make clear where he stands: "I haven't seen what she's said, but let me say I support what it is she said."
It's a good thing Shorten is his own man.
The Roxon example is entirely different but goes to the heart of exposing Labor's extreme flexibility on matters of principle.
While using the word "expose" in relation to the ongoing Slipper show or the simultaneously running Craig Thomson folly (all of which Mr Thomson denies) might strike some as being a trifle risque, be calm, Roxon remained fully clad when she quite outrageously claimed Opposition leader Tony Abbott was "acting more like the leader of a lynch mob" than the leader of the Liberal Party in relation to the Slipper allegations.
"That's not how our legal system works in Australia. People are entitled to make allegations, but people are entitled to defend those allegations as well," she said.
But that's not how she wanted the system to work when she was in Opposition nine years ago and was part of a lynching party made up of senior Labor MPs who drove former governor-general Peter Hollingworth out of office though there were no allegations of civil or criminal misbehaviour against him.
Dr Hollingworth was left a shattered man by the vicious campaign Labor mounted against him, even after the threat of a civil action had been withdrawn.
Roxon was riding at the head of that lynch party. She moved a motion on May 15, 2003, urging members of the House of Representatives, senators, premiers and members of state parliaments to call "upon the Governor-General to resign, or failing that, to be dismissed by the Prime Minister".
Abbott has been far more measured regarding Slipper. He has not prejudged the claims, unlike Roxon who showed no understanding of the presumption of innocence in the Hollingworth affair, he has merely suggested that Slipper stand aside until the allegations are resolved.
There has been no call for him to resign, there has been no rallying cry to MPs, the Governor-General, premiers or anyone else.
Roxon's willingness to assist in destroying Hollingworth's reputation and her ugly contribution to the Slipper matter again underscore her unfitness for the position of federal attorney-general.
It was not just Roxon who wished to put the niceties of the legal system and its presumption of innocence to one side in their pursuit of what they hoped would be a political scalp.
The then Opposition leader Simon Crean claimed Hollingworth was dragging the nation or the office of the governor-general into disrepute.
"It's a continuing damage," he claimed on May 23, 2003. "It's the continuing disrepute, controversy, lack of support, all of those things. He (Hollingworth) is the head of state, he's not elected to that position, but he's the head of state and he has to command the respect and support of the whole of the nation. Clearly he doesn't do that."
Infrastructure Minister Anthony Albanese was another rider in Roxon's posse when she was out to lynch Hollingworth.
"Dr Hollingworth should take the dignified course of action and resign as governor general of Australia," he said on May 1, 2003.
"Dr Hollingworth can no longer fulfill the central responsibility of his office, and that is to be a unifying figure for our nation.
Albanese added: "Across the community, in the media and around the kitchen table, Australians are discussing the performance of our current governor-general, Dr Peter Hollingworth."
They certainly did not discuss Hollingworth's performance with the same grimace of distaste as the allegations against Slipper are being discussed today, but Albanese's judgment in such matters is not sound.
Even after the threat of civil action against Hollingworth had been withdrawn, Senator John Faulkner, often invoked as a Labor Party elder, was still baying for blood, urging on May 23, 2003, that "now that that matter is resolved I think it is time for the governor-general to step down. There is no alternative but for the governor-general to go. I think that is the proper thing for him to do and I think now he can make that decision and I hope he does it forthwith."
Failing that, Senator Faulkner wanted him sacked.
Today it is the whole Gillard government which stands accused of flawed judgment.
In clinging tenaciously to the tarnished Speaker, it daily demonstrates why it constantly fails the most basic character test.
Gillard, who in the past explained away her extremely bad judgment as an industrial lawyer to being "young and naive", cannot dodge the fallout as easily today.
She put herself forward as the better candidate when she led the first coup mounted in this country against a sitting Prime Minister and though she has subsequently presented herself serially as the "real Julia", I believe she is just as poor a judge of character as she was when she had youth and ignorance on her side.

Lest We Forget
Piers Akerman –, Wednesday, April, 25, 2012, (6:29am)
Under the Southern Cross, and wherever Australians gather today, we remember the more than 100,000 of our fellows who died in conflicts around the world.
It is 97 years since the original members of ANZAC, young men from Australia and New Zealand, landed on a narrow, pebbly beach at Gallipoli.
It is their spirit we celebrate today, and all those who died in other wars that we may live free of tyranny, enjoying a liberty that others envy.
It is a melancholy day, beginning with Dawn Services at the onset of our Southern winter, but it serves to bind generations in thanks and hope.
It does not celebrate war, but it recognises the need to fight when circumstances demand, and it honours those who died.
The ultimate sacrifice.

Hero cops at the Cross
Piers Akerman –, Tuesday, April, 24, 2012, (5:35am)
Kings Cross police are to be congratulated for speedily bringing to an end the weekend joyride in a stolen car that left a young woman seriously injured and other members of the public in severe shock.
Oh, and also left two teenagers in hospital with bullet wounds.
Sarah Roberts, 29, the young woman injured when the stolen Honda Civic mounted the pavement and started ploughing through the Saturday night crowd, was pinned under the vehicle and dragged along before police managed to stop the thieves' rampage.
She is recovering as is her badly shaken companion, Tanya Donaldson, who was struck but fortunately bounced over the bonnet of the car to comparative safety.
Did I mention bullet wounds?

Labor's putrid stench
Piers Akerman –, Monday, April, 23, 2012, (7:02am)
Slow learners in the media are now saying Julia Gillard's judgment may be questioned after her latest slip-up.
Who are they kidding?
It was apparent from the get-go when she lied to the Australian public about the carbon dioxide tax that good judgment is not part of her CV.
Her judgment stinks.
Even the questionable Speaker, Peter Slipper, highlighted Gillard – and Labor's – moral collapse yesterday when he, not the ALP, not Gillard, nor Treasurer Wayne Swan or Leader of the House Anthony Albanese, deemed it appropriate to stand aside while claims he misuses his taxi expense account are investigated.
Gillard didn't think it necessary, nor did Swan or Albanese.

Why Gillard must stand down Slipper
Piers Akerman –, Sunday, April, 22, 2012, (1:50am)
Prime Minister Julia Gillard's government is certainly arguably illegitimate and shabbily threadbare at best.
Elected without a majority and forced to rely on a small, unrepresentative clique of Green cultists, two turncoat independents who betrayed their conservative electorates and the votes of a Labor MP facing serious allegations relating to misuse of a trade union credit card, and a disgraced former Liberal sitting as Speaker, her administration is unquestionably the worst in the nation's history.
Yet today she is due to fly to Singapore and then on to Gallipoli to preside over the annual solemn Anzac Day commemoration services.
To do so, without asking Speaker Peter Slipper to stand aside until the serious allegations of sexual harassment and questionable use of travel vouchers revealed in The Daily Telegraph yesterday are resolved, would leave a noxious cloud hanging over her every action when nothing should be permitted to distract the nation from its annual day of mourning and remembrance.
Slipper, according to claims filed in a 15-page statement to the Federal Court by one of his former advisers, James Ashby, made unwanted sexual advances to him over several months. Yesterday, he denied the allegations.
The claims of Slipper's alleged actions are extraordinary and cannot and must not be ignored if Gillard wishes to be accorded any respect.
The Speakership is the most important office in the House of Representatives and under Section 35 of the Constitution, the House cannot operate without a Speaker.
Without repeating claims made by Ashby, it should be sufficient to note that they outline "unwelcome suggestions of a sexual nature" contained in text messages and in private conversations.
Gillard might be tempted to claim that natural justice demands that Slipper be permitted to remain in situ until the claims are tested before the courts, as she has done with allegations that have been made against Labor MP Craig Thomson.
But that would be a pathetic claim.
Thomson is not an officer of the Parliament, he is a backbencher. The activities he allegedly engaged in (which he denies) - misusing union funds and using a union-issued credit card to pay for prostitutes, occurred before he entered Parliament.
He may be a stinking cat slung around the neck of the Labor Party and the trade union movement, but if Gillard can live with the stench, that is her prerogative.
The allegations against Slipper are in an entirely different league. His alleged activities took place when he was Speaker and involved his office.
But like Thomson, Slipper - in his present incarnation - is entirely a creation of the Labor Party despite his Liberal Party background.
He enjoyed brief elevation to Parliamentary Secretary on two occasions under the Howard government in 1998 and 2004, but rumours of misuse of travel expenses followed him and he was forced to repay some $14,000 shortly after he assisted Gillard by becoming deputy Speaker in September 2010.
Last November, on the fourth anniversary of the Rudd Labor government's taking office, Labor nominated and elected Slipper Speaker after rejecting the nominations of every Labor member - including deputy Speaker Anna Burke - of the Speaker's panel, which provides support for the Speaker when that person is not occupying the Chair.
Labor engineered the unhappy resignation of Harry Jenkins, just as it seemed as though he was enjoying greater respect from MPs on both sides of the House. He was disposed of to give the Gillard government an extra body should Thomson fall.
Slipper can in no way be considered a creature of the Liberal Party, any more than the turncoat independents Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor can be considered creations of the National Party.
There is no certainty that Gillard will act with the national interest in mind, as opposed to narrowly partisan goals in this instance as Labor's record of dealing with impropriety is disgraceful.
The papers tendered to the Commission of Inquiry into the conduct of Labor hero and former Whitlam Attorney General and former High Court Justice Lionel Murphy remain sealed nearly 26 years after his death.
And Thomson has enjoyed the privileges of Parliament while the longest-running inquiry in the history of workplace relations was conducted by Gillard's Fair Work Australia - an inquiry which was found to be not only totally inadequate but also worthless by the federal Director of Public Prosecutions.
Gillard has maintained her support for Thomson throughout, though Victorian police and NSW police are scant months away from concluding their own inquiries - conducted with no co-operation from Thomson.
Charges may be laid relating to fraudulently obtaining benefits.
The onus thus shifts to the holier-than-though independents - Oakeshott, Windsor, Tasmanian Andrew Wilkie and Queensland's Bob Katter.
With the allegations against Slipper now in the public arena and enmeshing the office of Speaker as well as the personality of the office-holder, the independents must take the principled position, though it may mean bringing down this pitiful minority government.
Gillard has used all of her wiles and skills to keep these shabby cross-benchers aligned.
Oakeshott and Windsor have no chance of getting re-elected should they stand again, and Wilkie has been betrayed in his dealings with Gillard.
The national interest was betrayed when Gillard lied about the introduction of the carbon dioxide tax before the last election. The nation's dignity will be sacrificed should she stand before us on Anzac Day with the Speakership under this significant cloud.
Those who died - not only at Gallipoli but across the blood-drenched fields and copses of the Somme - did not give their lives for this.

Fantasy tour for Green leader
Piers Akerman –, Thursday, April, 19, 2012, (7:12am)
AS sections of the media gush over new Greens leader Christine Milne's public relations tour of the bush the National Party's Senator Fiona Nash has mapped out a more realistic itinerary which highlights the issues.
Milne discovered yesterday that the Gillard government's carbon dioxide tax is an insurmountable obstacle in her bid to connect with the real world but Nash found plenty more problems for the Greens as she drew a schedule for the loony party's leader.
Nash suggested Milne meet with irrigation communties in the Murray Darling Basin to explain why the Greens want to take 7600 gigalitres from them for the environment.
She said Milne should meet with dairy farmers and explain why the Greens (and Milne is a dairy farmer's daughter) pushed for a carbon tax that will cost farmers thousands of dollars extra in costs each year. Dairy Australia says it will be an additional impost of up to $7000 a year for dairy farmers.
Further Milne should talk to abattoir workers and tell them why meat processors must pay hundreds of thousands of dollars extra in carbon dioxide tax costs each year. She recommends a visit to Bindaree Beef in northern NSW which says the impact of the carbon tax will be at least $2.7 million in the first year alone.
Then Milne must talk to regional airlines such as Regional Express (REX) to justify the carbon tax. REX states the carbon tax combined with the axing of the en route rebate scheme, additional fuel excise and increased security screening will cost the airline at least $6 million a year alone. REX services to Taree, Grafton, Moruya, Bathurst and others are subsequently under threat.
Milne should also visit coal mining towns and explain to locals why the Greens want to shut the industry down and stop expansion, costing thousands of jobs.

Afghanistan - what have we achieved
Piers Akerman –, Tuesday, April, 17, 2012, (6:21am)
AUSTRALIA'S troops are coming home from Afghanistan – ready or not.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard will set out the timetable for withdrawal she will later take to a Chicago conference but it is expected many of the soldiers will be out before the federal election due in August next year.
The timetable has not been ours, it has been that of US President Barack Obama, who wants an exit plan for US troops in place before November's presidential elections.
As with everything the Gillard government has done, the withdrawal will sound good and look ugly.

The Financial Times columnist Philip Stephens offers a clear-headed comparison of the British National Health Service versus the U.S. private health care insurance system. His fundamental view is this: In both countries health care is rationed by rationing access and that what separates systems is efficiency and equity. He says that President Obama's opponents' claim that the National Health Service is state sponsored euthanasia is "palpable nonsense."
Stephens points out that 8 percent that U.S. taxpayers pony up to pay for the U.S. government health system, Medicaid and Medicare, is "only a fraction less than the proportion of its income that Britain spends on the entire National Health System. By this measure, U.S. health care is as 'socialized' as any in Europe."
While U.S. patients get the benefit of advanced technologies and medicines, we live shorter lives than other rich countries. As a result, all the money we spend hasn't improved outcomes.
"That the world's richest country can spend so much and still lag so far behind the best is an extraordinary indictment," Stephens writes. "But Mr. Obama's critics are throwing stones from a glass house in which the panes are already broken."

Because for the last 4 night my children have slept more then 2 hrs at a time. :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:
They are actually almost STTN. They have been sleeping between 7 and somewhere around 2 and then K will wake up again around 5. Its amazing. I know its probably a fluke and in a weeks time times we'll be back to the old routnine but until then I'm enjoying the extended amount of sleep. I cant believe how great I feel this morning. I think with both teeth in for Brad and Kaylee not hearing him stir, they are both able to sleep better. Really, I dont care what the reason is I'm just over the moon its happening. They even slept this way when we were away for the night in Ottawa which I was dreading because I thought the new surrounding would cause them to not sleep.
Just wanted to share....

Port Adelaide fans passionate, not feral, says club president David Koch
- From: adelaidenow
- April 29, 2013
PASSION is commonly defined as a strong feeling of fondness and enthusiasm toward something you care about.
That is exactly what the Port Adelaide community has shown toward their football club since 1870 and it was again shown on Saturday night at AAMI Stadium with our team heading for defeat.
But as the Power trailed by 41 points midway through the third quarter, not one of us left the stadium. Port Adelaide supporters and members stood by their team chanting and screaming themselves hoarse until their heroes orchestrated a famous victory.
There was no ripping up of seats, obscene behaviour or violent acts in the grandstands. All the Port Adelaide supporters wanted was to play their role in willing their team over the line.
So that is why I, and the entire Port Adelaide community, took offence to a social media reference on Saturday night, via an AFL smartphone application, labelling our supporters as "feral".
We're not being thin-skinned. We thrive on good-natured taunts and we give as good as we get.
AFL apologises after calling Port supporters feral
But we draw the line at the use of "feral" as a general description of us in an official AFL media outlet.
Passion, loyalty and mateship, whether it be toward your football club, your family and friends, your religion, your country, whatever it might be, is so quintessentially Australian. It should be encouraged and embraced and not defined by some vulgar, throwaway reference such as "feral".
We are proud of our club and its long history of success, our development programs of fostering young local talent through our local and junior grades, our vast work in the community (through Power Community) promoting healthy living in schools, our partnerships with charities and our Aboriginal Power Cup program. This passion is infectious.
We've had our best start to an AFL season and we've broken our previous membership record and we're on the way to cracking 40,000.
People want to be part of the Port Adelaide Football Club because of our passion and, as illustrated by their on-field performance again on Saturday night, our players thrive on this passion.
Passion is something that should be encouraged and embraced and never be denigrated as "feral".

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 564,029, dated July 14, 1896.
Application filed March 19, 189% To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY B. SARGENT, of New Haven, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new Improvement in Master-Key Pin-Tumbler Cylinder-Locks; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in
Figure 1, a view in vertical longitudinal section of one form which a lock constructed in accordance with my invention may assume, showing the lifting of the day-key bolts by the master-key bolts through the medium of the two-part or doubly-racked master-key tumblers under the action of the master-key; Fig. 2, a similar view showing the lifting of the day-key bolts through the medium of the day-key tumblers and the day-key without disturbing the master-key bolts; .Fig. 3, a view of the lock on the line a b of Fig. 1 on a smaller scale; Fig. 4, a detached broken plan View of the day-key bolts I and I and the master-key bolt J; Fig. 5, a view in front elevation of the lock drawn to ordinary size; Figs. 6 and 7, views in transverse section of the day and master keys drawn to the same scale as Figs. 1 and 2.
My invention relates to an improvement upon the master-key pin-tumbler cylinderlock disclosed in United States Patent No. 469,950, granted March 1, 1892, to Sargent & Co. 011 the application of John H. Shaw, the object being to improve the lock of the said patent and to produce a comparatively simple, durable, and safe master-key pin-tumbler cylinder-lock constructed with particular reference to preserving the integrity of a series of the locks by providing against the unlocking of any lock in the series by more than one day-key, while providing for unlocking all of the locks of the series by one master-key.
Before proceeding to a description of my present invention, I will briefly discuss the Shaw look, as in that way I can make my particular invention more clearly understood.
In a series of locks constructed under the Serial No. 504,210. (No model.)
Shaw-patent, the day-keys of all of the locks will correspond to each other so far as their master-key cuts are concerned, and will be differentiated from each other so far as their day-key cuts are concerned. Furthermore, the master-key cuts of all of the day-keys will exactly correspond to the master-key cuts of the master-key which has no day-key cuts. Some of the day-keys will have low day-key cuts and some high day-key cuts, and the range between the highest and the lowest of these day-key cuts will represent the range of differentiation which may be resorted to to secure the required dissimilarity between the several day-keys of the series. Under the Shaw construction, those day-keys which have low day-key cuts will become masterkeys for looks adapted to be opened by daykeys having high day-key cuts. The reason for this is that the low day-key cuts of such day-keys permit the day-key tumblers to drop away from the racking-line, while at the same time the day-keybolts of those day-keytumblers are lifted above the racking-line by means of the master-key bolts which have themselves been lifted by the master-key tumblers through the relatively high masterkey cuts of the said day-keys having low daykey cuts. It will thus be seen that day-keys having low day-key cuts when introduced into locks fitted for keys having high day-key cuts and therefore provided with short daykey tumblers permit those short tumblers to drop away and clear the racking-line, while the master-key cuts of those same keys oper ate through the mastenkey tumblers and master-key bolts to lift the day-key bolts above the racking-line. In this manner a day-key performs the functions of a masterkey through the medium of the master-key bolts. This unlocking of the locks may be said to be indirect, because the day-key bolts are lifted above the racking-line, not by the day-key tumblers, which ordinarily lift them above the racking-line, but through the agency of the master-key tumblers and master-key bolts. In the Shaw construction the master-key always unlocks the locks on this indirect, so to say, principle. It follows, therefore, that every day-key for a series of locks constructed under the Shaw patent be comes a master-key for every lock of the series which is fitted to be unlocked by a day-key of higher day-key cut.
The object of my invention is to improve upon the said Shaw lock and to produce a master key pin tumbler cylinder lock in which every lock of the series shall be inviolable by every other key except its own and by the master-key.
\Vith these ends in View my invention consists in a lock of the character described in which the master-key tumblers are made in two partsn amely, a key part with which the keys directly coact and a double-racking part which racks at each end, Within the length of which the entire range of diifcrentiation in the day-key cuts is confined and to the length of which the difference between the masterkey cuts of the master-key and the low neutral or clearance cuts of all of the day-keys exaetly corresponds.
My invention further consists in certain details of construction and combinations of parts, as will hereinafter be described, and pointed out in the claims.
In carrying out my invention, as herein shown, I have constructed the cylinderA with a series of five radial pockets B and with a longitudinal key-slot C, eentrallyinterseetin g the bottom walls of all of the said pockets. In these pockets I have arranged three day-key tumblers D and two two-part master-key tumblers,each comprising two members E and E, of which the former may be said to be the inner members and the latter the outer members. The said members E are double-racking, which is to say they rack at each end. In length they correspond exactly to the difference between the high master-key cuts of the n1aster-key K and the lowneutral or clearance cuts of all of the day-keys, one of which is shown and designated by the letter L. Furthermore, the entire range of differentiation in the day-key cuts of the day-keys is confined within the length of the said doubleracking members E, which correspond to each other in all the locks of a series, as do also the members E, which coact directly with the keys, and on that account may with propriety be called the key members of the two-part key-tumblers. It may be said in this connection that the day-keys employed with my improved lock have no master-key cuts, as do the clay-keys of the Shaw lock but instead thereof they have neutral or clearance cuts, which I choose to so call because they permit a passive action of the master-key tumblers rather than bring the same into active operation. Thus the said neutral or clearance cuts permit the said master -key tumblers, and hence the master-key bolts J and J, to move inward, whereby the latter are cleared from the day-key bolts I, I, and I which are never operated indirectly except by the master-key. Therefore, as the day-keys have no masterkey cuts,but only neutral or clearance cuts, no day-key can ever, under any circumstances,
have master-key functions or unlock any lock of the series but the one look it was designed to unlock. The said cylinder A is located in the usual mann erin alongitudinal cylindrical chamber F, formed below the center of a lockcase G, constructed with a series of five small radial chambers H, arranged in correspondence with the pockets B of the cylinder, and intersecting at their inner ends the large chamber F. In the said radial chambers II, I locate the day-key bolts I, I, and I and the master-key bolts J J in accordance with the corresponding arrangement of the day-key and master-key tumblers in the cylinder. It will be understood that whatever be the shape in transverse section of the said daykey and master-keybolts they will be adapted at their inner ends to enter the outer ends of the pockets B in the cylinder to lock the same against rotation. These bolts are constructed and arranged so that the master-key bolts will operate the day-key bolts without having the day-key bolts operate the master-key bolts. To this end the upper end of the master-key bolt J is constructed with tWo oppositely-projecting fingers 't' 2', located directly below and arranged to engage with corresponding inwardly-projecting fingers 'i '5, formed upon the upper ends of the day-key bolts I and I, while the upper end of the mastenkeybolt J is constructed with a finger j, located below and arranged to engage, when the bolt is lifted, with a corresponding finger 2' formed at the upper end of the day-key bolt 1 Under this construction, when the master-key bolts J J are lifted by the master-key K, the fingersjj of the bolt J will engage with the fingers z' t" of the day-key bolts I and I and lift the same so as to clear their inner ends from the pockets of the cylinder, and free the same for rotation, while the lifting at the same time of the master-key bolt J will engage its finger j with the corresponding finger i of the daykey bolt 1 and lift the lower end of the same out of engagement with the cylinder, and per mit the same to rotate. This result follows because the master-key cuts of the masterkey are high enough to lift the double-racking members E of the two-part master-key tumblers high enough to bring their inner ends A to the racking-line, as shown in Fig. 1, whereby the said members E are forced entirely out of the cylinder II into the case G, with the effect, as aforesaid, of causing the master-key bolts J and J to coact with the day-key bolts, so as to lift the same clear of the cylinder. This may be said to be an indirect action of the mechanism of the daykey bolts, as they are not operated directly through the agency of the day-key tumblers, but indirectly and through the agency of the two-part master-key tumblers and the master-key bolts. On the other hand, when any one of the day-keys L is introduced into the look, its low neutral or clearance cuts allow both members E and E of the two-part master-key tumblers to remain in the cylinder A,
the outer ends a of the double-racking members E being brought to the racking-line, as shown in Fig. 2. The master-key bolts J and J will not, therefore, be brought into active play, as their fingersj and j will not be brought into engagement with the fingers 'i, i, and t of the day-key bolts I, I, and 1 but, on the contrary, will escape engagement therewith by a distance which exactly corresponds to the length of the members E of the two-part master key tumblers. The day-key will therefore unlock the lock in the usual way by coaction with the day-key tumblers, which act directly 011 the day-key bolts, which will not in turn act upon the master-key bolts, as the fingers thereof are located below the fingers of the day-key bolts.
From the foregoing it will be understood that no day-key of the series can have a master-key function,because the range of the daykey cuts in the keys for the entire series of locks is confined within the length of the said members E, which will not engage with and lift the master-key bolts, so as to cause the same to lift the day-key bolts, unless moved outward a distance equal to their length, so that the day-keys having the highest daykey cuts will fall short of lifting the members E enough to operate the master-key bolts in operating the day-key bolts of any lock of the series, whereas in a series of locks of the Shaw construction the day-keys having low day-key cuts become master-keys and will unlock those locks of the series which are fitted for use with day-keys having high daykey cuts.
By constructing the upper ends of the daykey and master-key bolts, as shown and described, with coactin g fingers, the outer ends of the master-key bolts are as much exposed practically as the outer ends of day-key bolts. I am thus enabled to provide each master-key bolt, as well as each day-key bolt,with a spring M, the said springs being located in the outer ends of the radial chambers H, formed in the case G. Under this construction the masterkey bolts are as perfectly controlled as the day-key bolts.
I wish to call attention to the fact that the springs of the master-key bolts are as large and powerful as the springs of the day-key bolts, and are as readily assembled with the look as the same, and also equally convenient of access for renewal or any other attention that may be required. It is very desirable, of course, that the master-key bolts should be provided with springs for cont-rolling them, for otherwise they are liable to get out of place in case the lock is turned upside down.
It will be observed also that the chambers provided for the day-key bolts are of the usual size, instead of being much larger than usual, as in the Shaw look. This is, of course,
an advantage, and is made possible by furnishing the bolts with coacting fingers, instead of making the day-key bolts larger in diameter at their outer ends than the master-key bolts, so as to overhang the same. In my construction passage-ways on have to be formed in the case G to permit the said fingers to play back and forth, but those passages are easily formed and at small expense.
The number of tumblers and bolts maybe varied, and also their construction and relative arrangement. Furthermore, they may be changed in form without departing from my invention. As shown in Fig. 4 of the drawings, the day-key bolts I and I and the master-key bolt .I are circular in cross-section, as well as in the chambers I*I,'in which they are located, but obviously such form is not essential.
I might omit the projecting fingers on the master-key bolts and adapt the fingers of the day-key bolts to extend inward over the master-key bolts far enough to be engaged thereby when the same are raised by the action of the master-key. This construction would require the omission of springs for the masterkey bolts, or else the use of master-keybolt springs of different construction from these shown.
It will be clear that the construction just referred to would secure for my improved lock the advantage specified of reducing the cutting of the lock-case to the minimum. The construction just described would not, perhaps, require the cutting away of the lockcase less than the construction shown, but it would permit the use of simpler master-key bolts. It is apparent, therefore, that in carrying out my invention I may make some changes in the construction herein shown and described, and would have it understood that I do not limit myself to the same, but hold myself at liberty to make such changes as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.
I am aware that it is old in pin-tumbler master-key locks to employ two-part masterkey tumblers, one part of which racks at both ends. I do not,therefore,claim that construction broadly.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a master-key, pin-tumbler, cylinderlock, the combination with day-key tumblers, and two-part master-key tumblers, of which the inner members are double racking, of master key bolts and day-key bolts constructed and arranged so that the master-key bolts will operate the day-key bolts without in turn being operated thereby, substantially as described.
2. In a master-key pin-tumbler, cylinderlock, the combination with day-key tumblers, and two-part master-key tumblers, of which the inner members are double-racking, of master-key bolts, and day-key bolts constructed at their upper ends with projecting fingers located above the master-key bolts so that the m aster-key bolts will operate the daykey bolts without in turn being operated thereby, substantially as set forth.
In a master-key, pin-tu1nbler, cylinderloclc, the combination with day-key tumblers, and two-part master-key tumblers, of which the inner members are double-racking, of masterdcey bolts and day-key bolts, bot-h constructed at their upper ends with projecting coacting fingers, of which those of the master-key boltsare located below those of the day-key bolts, so that the master-key bolts will operate the day-key bolts without in turn being operated thereby.
4-. In a master-key, pin-tumbler, cylinderlock, the combination with a cylinder constructed with a longitudinal series of radial pockets, and a longitudinal key-slotinterseeting the bottom walls of all of the said pockets, of day-key tumblers and two-part master-key tumblers located in the said pockets, the inner members of the master-key tumblers being double-racking a lock-case having a longitudinal cylindrical chamber to receive the cylinder in which it rotates, and constructed with a series of radial chambers ar ranged in correspondence with the pockets in the cylinder, and day-key bolts and masterkey bolts located in the said chambers in correspondence with the arrangement of the daykey tumblers, and the two-part mastenkey tumblers in the pockets of the cylinder, the said bolts being constructed and arranged so that the master-key bolts will operate the day-key bolts without in turn being operated thereby.
In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

Parenting Information
Like adults, children and adolescents can have mental health disorders that interfere with the way they think, feel, and act. When untreated, mental health disorders can lead to school failure, family conflicts, drug abuse, violence, and even suicide. Untreated mental health disorders can be very costly to families.
"I lost a 14 year old son to suicide. He always had demons he fought his whole life. I do know that once someone sets their mind to it, there's no stopping them BUT maybe if he had gotten help back when he was younger, he would still be here now."
At HealthyPlace.com, we know that parenting can be a rewarding and sometimes tough job, but parenting a child with mental health concerns brings its own special challenges and can be extraordinarily difficult and stressful at times for parents and other members of the family.
In our Parenting Community, you'll find in-depth, authoritative information on various aspects of parenting as well as parenting a child with a mental illness. We also have comprehensive information on the different psychological disorders in other HealthyPlace.com Communities. Our goal is to help you learn about parenting, mental health disorders, and to offer you support in managing your and/or your child's psychiatric symptoms.
And if you are looking for parenting support, we hope you'll join the HealthyPlace.com Support Network (our social network). Sometimes, communicating with others who have similar experiences and who have faced similar problems, can bring comfort and be a great help.

CorTrust sent me card and after dedudting various one-time fees I was left with approx. $57---I closed acct. & paid off total amount of $333.49, including payment online they received a total of approx. $320.00 from me on 7/9/08.
Legacy aka First National Credit Card ( a sister Co. to the above) was almost same senario, however, they were pd. mo. fee in May 2008 online, I did not make June payment so I called them to say when I would send a payment & they proceeded to go into my personal checking acct. and retrieve $93 without my authorization on July 3, 2008. When I spoke with them explaining reason for non-payment in June I said "at some point after July 3rd I will be sending monthly payment due in full". I am disputing this with $93 with my bank & mentioned that to them & they angrily told me they would not have taken money if I had not authorized it, they had no way of knowing my bank info---I mentioned the online payment in May 2008 & they said "that's a lie!! You never made a payment online with us!!.
I have documentation of all negotiations with both of the above credit card thieves and if there is ever a class action suit against one or both I would readily jump on board!!!!

I worked for Winn-Dixie for approximately 7 years, and during that reign gathered valuable information concerning time-clock violations including tampering with hours to make a budget. I also gathered information concerning what is consumed in our so-called private personal files. Winn-Dixie and James Robin are meant for each other. Any company that makes you work off the clock on a periodic basis and then threatens to terminate employment if you go forward with the information has serious problems. This is what James Robin and Winn-Dixie are about.
I was laid off because I was tired of withholding this information and tired of working 100 hour weeks, and getting paid for 40 hour weeks. To all investers or anyone else interested in buying this company, please think twice. The list goes on when we talk about Winn-Dixie. For instance, James Robin believes in having his meat departments to reprocess meat on a daily basis. Yes, that means even if the meat is one week old, it is taken to the back and reprocessed and given new shelf life. This is what James Robin preaches to his meat departments. People are getting ripped off each day because of this. These are serious health and government violations. To all of you out there, please take your business elsewhere, for your safety.

Two weeks ago, the 845 Craft Guide began asking the crafty community of Times Herald-Record and Pocono Record readers to send in pictures of their best pumpkin carvings and paintings. Contestants really made the pumpkin their canvas. There were no simple triangles and jagged mouth jack o'lanterns here. The ideas flowed like the plentiful pumpkin seeds inside the great big gourd.
One carver showed both his good and gory side, displaying a ghoul alongside a good little monster: Elmo from "Sesame Street." Others resurrected deceased movie stars James Dean and Marlon Brando in their pumpkin patches. Joining that s�ance was Johnny Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean" character, Jack Sparrow.
Elmo wasn't the only furry friend immortalized in pumpkin pulp. Some artists decided to preserve their pet's portrait. Instead of dabbling in watercolors and oil paints they whittled the portrait into the tough orange flesh. I'm not sure what is more impressive; the accuracy of the carvings or that the dogs stayed still long enough to capture their own likeness.
From contestants' pictures it also appears there are rebel pumpkins among us raging against the humans who cut them. Watch out specifically for the hungry ones that swallow people whole, but spit out the legs.
Pumpkins provided a blank canvas for local readers. Each one submitted their best carving and painting creation. Vote by clicking here for the one you like the most by Oct. 29. The participant with the most votes gets $50. You can vote once per day.

The nine-foot gator had lived in a pond off Washington Road behind Brown Feed & Seed. During the weekend, trespassers killed the gator and used a reciprocating saw to remove its head, tail and two front legs.

Law Enforcement Sgt. Mark Padgett of the divisions regional office in Thomson, said anyone willing to share information on the case can contact him directly at (706) 737-1480 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
The identity of callers willing to provide information will remain confidential, he said, and they can still claim a reward without their name being made public.
