Tips for Wednesday, November 14

Tell us what's what.
Have Your Say
It will be interesting to see whether the commision has a look at the music industry. Just at the weekend in the Australian there was mention of the fact that a Beatles biographer omited their "orgies". Lets face it, many of the "groupies" were young vulnerable girls below 16. In the UK Savile is an example of a predator who started in the music industry but was never sated. But he was not the only one abusing their privileged positions. The situation is undoubtedly the same in Australia. If these girls are allowed to come forward to testify then the sluice gates will definitely open. Which entertainment or Sports stars have been abusing young girls. This too is pedophilia.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:25pm)
Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:16am)
Yes, there is a need for a broader inquiry into pedophilia. Predictably, lots of people are barracking for a hatchet job on the Catholic church, but many of these people don't seem to realise that a large proportion of sex offences are committed by offenders who are related to their victims - offences committed within the family unit; in children's own bedrooms, at their uncles or aunts house, at the grandparents home, in the car on outings, at campsites, etc. Also, widespread abuse has occurred within the scouting movement, along with other organisations that have a focus on child membership. So Mr Jordon should spend less time singling out the Catholic church, lest he be viewed as having an agenda closely aligned with Labor's anti-catholic Abbott agenda.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:53am)
Saville went out of his way to groom pre pubescent children, often picking on kids in vulnerable situations which is a bit different to drug adled rockers bonking a mature looking groupie who was'nt quite as old as she said allthough i'me not excusing the "rocker" it's hardly in the same ball park.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:55am)
you are asking for a royal commisosn into the beatles? wtf?
How about we start with the what we know first- there are multiple serious allegations against saville and the australian roman cathloic church.
lets leave it at that for now, heh?
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:12am)
have been abusing young girls.
...and young boys!
If Gillard does not includes scrutiny of political parties/organisations, including the ALP, in the commission's terms of reference the inquiry will be nothing more than a McTernan contrived tool to smear Abbott.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:25am)
The job of a Royal Commission is to examine the systems which allow abuse to flourish in institutions and organisations, and to inquire into whether there was a cover up in order to protect the institution- if it expanded to include individual victims and perpetrators it would be never ending - the Irish High Court judge who conducted their inquiry has advised against "mini-trials".
While today we say we would not tolerate such behaviour young girls throwing themselves at pop stars was a common occurence, and if now they believe that it was wrong then they must live with their consciences or take individual legal action - that's what the police are there for.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:40am)
Is there evidence that the entertainment industry actively covered up child abuse and protected paedophiles. Stop trying to to deflect criticism from an organisation that has created situations where paedophiles can keep offending. It is shameful behaviour.
Roman, you seem to think that because abuse happens elsewhere the Catholic churches offences should be ignored. Should we not have a royal commission into union corruption because it happens elsewhere? If the church is guilty of these accusations, there should be consequences, same for anyone else.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:46am)
I hope they delve deep into politicians and the judiciary.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:20am)
When under age girls are willing participants (groupies as you suggest)there is no "abuse" and it is not pedophilia. At worst, it may be "carnal Knowledge" and in fact a well known Australian singer/actor was charged and found guilty of this offence when he was a rock & roll idol in the 1960s (I won't name him).
This could be a problem with this Royal Commission as people will remember that "Uncle Ernie" gave them a lolly when they were young and this was obviuosly a "grooming" tactic for a later act of sexual abuse and they have been traumatised by it all their lives.
I recently attended the world premiere of Danish film the "The Hunt" at the Canberra Film Festival. It deals with the mayhem and hysteria that follows in a small Danish village when a male kindergarten teacher is wrongfully accused of sexual misconduct with one of his students.
The same sort of phenonmenon will occur with this proposed Royal Commission I fear. Lawyers will love it.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (11:26am)
comment on Romans statement , " you are 100% correct in you statement , this should be re-typed in large Capital letters, and read by all before the next comment is posted.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (11:46am)
"Lets face it..." Jock implies that The Beatles were knowingly enagaing in orgies with underaged girls and some how, after nearly 50 years, these girls are not being allowed to come forward.
Where is there any evidence Jock, and who is stopping them coming forward?
Where is your outrage at the priests in the cases where victims have come forward?
Here's a tip. Peter Maher speaking on 3aw yesterday put you in the same category as Piers Akerperson, Alan Jones and Fox News. He reckoned that you are a negative for the conservative cause in the same way as Fox News was for Mitt Romney. Good work. Keep it up.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:37pm)
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:00am)
Who is Peter Maher?
Wed 14 Nov 12 (11:35am)
Come on Johnny you are as conservative as they come "can't believe it's not butter!"
Just a question for you, Andrew.
How can the media, being fully aware that Labor has conducted a full scale demonisation of Tony Abbott as their key re-election strategy, go along with it so blithely. They know none of it is true, they know it is contrived, they are even happy report how Labor intends to intensify the attack by taking advice from the US election.
So how can they report each of their vile claims and wild statements as news rather than exposing it as spin of the crudest kind?
I'm at a loss to explain such a lack of professionalism.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:38pm)
Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:22am)
Yes, professionalism is lacking especially when words are taken out of context and used by Labor and the media to make an incorrect and misleading point. However, when the famous misogynist speech was made Miranda Devine did write a very good article about it. It pulls "words out of context" to pieces. You may find it of interest....
Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:46am)
Lack of the media giving a balanced view on all this political strategy is not the real worry.
What concerns me is vast sections of the electorate are so gullible they cannot see through this gutter politics and allow it to sway their preferences.
This current government and the pseeudo Prime Minister we have made so many errors and changed Australia for the worse, it is shameful.
Time to forget individuals and concentrate on results. Were John Howard and Peter Costello so bad? Just think about it.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:35am)
Oakes & Grattan have sadly lost all credibility. They have proven to be ALP stooges and are the laughing stock of people with an IQ above 6 or an above grade 3 education.
I can only assume they are trying to pull a Maxine Hogg and get an official job within the ALP.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (11:00am)
When Labor start waving around fake birth certificates and spreading rumours of divorce you will know they are as bad as the Americans.
The ABC recently reported that Mildura was a greater risk of fire as it is getting hotter due to climate change.
Last summer felt like a very cool summer. My grapes ripened a month earlier than usual because of this. The plants metabolism slows down above 28 degrees to a stop at about 32 degrees. Mildura's average maximum is in the low 30s for the summer months, so a cool summer leads to early ripening. Apparently, scientists say that we need to plan for more earlier ripening due to climate change.
The official maxima for the summer months were slightly above average, even though it felt like the coolest summer since 2001/2002. A closer look at some of the data showed sudden increases in temperature of a couple of degrees on some days.
In July last year, Mildura had a minimum 7 degrees greater than Swan Hill, 125 km up stream. This is a bit unusual. On Thursday (27th I think) it was 5 degrees more than Swan Hill and 4 degrees more than Robinvale which is about halfway between the two towns. I checked the data on the BOM website and Mildura's temperature rose by 4 degrees between 12.30 and 2.30am on a winters night!
When I was young, there was a rumour that the lawns near the weather station would be watered in the mid afternoon so that the maximum temperatures on hot days would not scare tourists away. Is this why Mildura is being singled out for dodgy temperature measurements?
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:40pm)
Wed 14 Nov 12 (11:18am)
Hey Robert. I love the idea that your grapes ripened earlier last summer because the weather seemed cooler to you, even though it was in fact a year of above average maxima.
A friend of mine says that higher temperatures, low soil moisture and pruning to reduce yields all lead to earlier ripening, but he has only been doing managing vineyards for 40 years, so what would he know ?
You do belong on this site.
I noticed in the Week End Australian a feature article on the Ethnic Business Awards including some editorial on some of the winners.This is not being inclusive this is being divisive,imagine having a competition in any sphere within our society that excluded minorities there would be an outrage but if minorities have an event that excludes the majority that apparantly is OK
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:44pm)
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:09am)
Have a listen to the public funded NIRS, or watch the NITV. Your taxes at work.
Gotta laugh at the 'sponsors' on the NIRS website.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:04am)
There is a definite increase in awards give for numerous different purposes since Labor took office. If the radio chief shock jocks were to be more Abbott Abbott instead of Julia Julia the government would no doubt give an award to radio commentators.
An article on the investigation into the US Catholic Church abuses.
The statistics are interesting - particularly the difference between schools and the Catholic Church. If a teacher abuses a student they isolate it to that school. If a religious abuses a student then it is attributed to the whole national Catholic Church.
Tue 13 Nov 12 (08:50pm)
Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:27am)
In view of the fact that there have been many investigations into the abuse of children by Catholic priests elsewhere over a long period of time since the problem, as in all society, was first recognised, it is important that we are provided with more information such as this article. Thank you Despaxious.
The ABC in particular is having a field day. With every mention of the Royal Commission, what do they do? Show a picture of a Catholic Church.
If we are not careful, this will undoubtedly be a witch hunt, and the ABC should be very careful and tread lightly always remembering what has occurred at the BBC.
(I am not a Catholic.)
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:46am)
Schools don't actively cover up child abuse. The main criticism of the church isn't that some priests are paedophiles, unfortunately there will be monsters where there are people. There will be paedophile priests, teachers, police, plumbers etc. The main criticism is the church ignoring many victims' accusations and protecting these paedophiles, hence allowing them to offend again. I just cannot get over the fact you people are defending these actions which have allowed more and more children to be sexually abused. As they say, they have nothing to worry about if they have nothing to hide. And don't you think "witch hunt" is an ironic term to use.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:26am)
"If a religious abuses a student then it is attrubted to the whole national Catholic Church" - and in Australia, to any conveniently prominent lay catholic.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:28am)
I just listened to that incompetent Emily's lister AG Roxon this morning (on the ABC of course) stating that the Catholic confessional is on her radar - as in it's no longer being sacrosanct - this goes to the heart of Catholicism. The witch hunt is definitely on. A pox on her - being Catholic I shouldn't say that, but this mob have long since gone beyond niceties.
From 2012 the EU was to apply its ETS to foreign airlines. The move was widely condemned, with many threats being made against the EU, particularly by China and the US. China went as far as to hold up some orders for Airbus aircraft, the result being that the EU has now deferred the planned application of the ETS to international carriers.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (12:13am)
Desertec Desertions Continue
The (initial) fantasy of powering Europe using solar energy collected in Africa has lost another believer. Bosch announced that it will leave the "consortium" at the end of the year.
Siemens, another German manufacturing conglomerate announced its departure from the solar energy industry a little while ago, noting that it's PV branch had been a loss-leader.
According to the German ftd.de (Financial Times), business is shrinking and money is tight at Bosch so, according to their spokesthingy, they are focusing their resources on what they consider to be important.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (12:17am)
Those who delight in calling others sexists, racists and misogynists are worse than the subject of their ranting as such words are comparative in nature and as a result, mean different things to different people.
The crazy folk who fallaciously use such descriptors seem to believe theirs is the only correct interpretation and feign outrage at the drop of a hat, mainly to gain attention and particularly in the field of politics.
Should such folk ever happen to be described as bigots, they would surely react by seeking to define "bigot" on their terms just as they try to enforce their own meanings for sexists, racists and misogynists as being the standard by which all must be judged.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (12:37am)
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:07am)
There is another word that is never heard and that is 'MISANDRY', that is the opposite of 'MISOGYNY'. It means man hater. Extreme feminists by definition are Misandrists. (Man haters)
Considering the the vicious attack on Tony Abbott by certain females in government you can be sure they hate him.
A pack of Misandrists, nothing less. Call any one of them a Misandrist and they will do just as you say.
The CIA Andrew, and Australia. Why is the leak to Expendable.TV not being reported?
This is the page with the goodies:
And apparently they have more to come.
Why is there total silence? It's the same with the Keelty and Ellison cables, which are jaw dropping.
What is wrong with the media? This is an eye opener.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (12:44am)
Am I the only one smelling a conspiracy with all this attention by the ABC on Catholics and child abuse and abuse of students at the Catholic uni college in Sydney. They have been running stories 24/7 for the last couple of weeks and there is almost always a qiuck grab from Tony abbott.
Dont get me wrong, the Catholic Church has a huge amount to answer for, and not just on this serious issue, but the ABC is running hard with "Catholic" this and "Catholic" that and now we cross to Tony Abbott hoping for a gotcha moment. Are they becoming a party to the smear campaign hidden behind the veil of journalism, or have I missed something.

Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:19am)
Yes, the ABC is running a Crusade aginst the Church....I am not a catholic but can see an agenda favourable to Labor and one that airbrushes the various sex scandals involving ABC personalities.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:20am)
On this blog, you're never the only one smelling a conspiracy, george.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:29am)
Good point Mother G. Perhaps Gillard's commission should also look into the ABC after all it did have the presentor of THE COLLECTORS go down for collecting images of child pornography.
The commission could look into whether any other ABC employee or personality knew of his perversion and covered it up or even shared it. If it is good for the whole of the catholic church be demonised why not the whole of the ABC?
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:34am)
George I noted on the Drum one of the bloggers has tied pell and abbott together-- the implication being they were complicate in covering it up. This is disgusting on every level-- and every 7.30 report so far has focused on catholics. If one included families ( dads grandadas uncles etc )—they would get a huge shock- but wait-- that would not enable them to ties it to Abbott
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:45am)
I agree with you. Isn't it the way the desperate go ? Mitt Romney the Mormon. Etc Abbott the catholic. This has mcternan all over it in my view and as they uncover the deception of the church they will infer the mad monk rubbish. The way this govt is deliberately slandering Abbott is disgraceful and I would say to mark Latham that it is unaustralian.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:51am)
Mother G, it amazes me how dumb you people are. Did the ABC protect paedophiles? No. Did the church? Yes. How ironic using the word crusade and how sick of you to turn this into a political argument.
George, Tony Abbott and the Coalition have backed this royal commission.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:24am)
With the inquiry it should clear the air ,brought into the open if there has been cover ups by the Catholic Church. It should also include State Governments especially The Education Departments. Have all employees of this department been reported to the parents and police. One commenter suggests some are transfered without parents not being advised. Another good that could come out that people that have been abuse to come out now and put an end to this waiting for 20year before advising the authorities.

geoff of the central coast. your comments about the al gore trial in england is totally wrong. if you google the comments of justice burton, the judge in the trial. you will see that he is full of praise for ''an inconvenient truth''. hence his decision to allow it be shown in schools across the UK. he picked out only nine errors, none of them scientific. dont let the truth get in the way of your denialism eh?
Wed 14 Nov 12 (01:29am)

"if you google the comments of justice burton..."
Why don't you do the 'google' and provide a link?
Like your alarmist global warming religion, it is up to you to prove 'the devil is really carbon dioxide', not for others to prove your thought bubble wrong.

Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:54am)
heywood, it is not up to me to prove anything. i am reiterating what the entire scientific establishment is saying. there are many indicators C02 is the culprit eg a warming troposphere and a cooling stratosphere being just one. the greenhouse signature another. or maybe you would prefer the melting of glaciers as evidence of warming? or in your world of physics does ice melt when it is getting cooler ? i have sources and empirical data provided by those sources eg nasa and the world met .by comparison you have no credible sources and no alternative explanations for present warming. a scientific consensus can be overturned by providing evidence than can be tested and proven a fact or at least compelling. that is how relativity was accepted as fact. now where is your evidence that proves AGW is not factual. or at least that it is unlikely.? is that the sound of denial i hear ? the comments of justice burton are on line. if you lack the intellect to understand his comments [ recorded comments ] that really is not my problem.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:23am)
handjive, listen to your own link. You write:
"Like your alarmist global warming religion, it is up to you to prove 'the devil is really carbon dioxide'"
Here is Feynman about 1' 30" in:
"It is scientific only to say what is more likely and less likely and not to be proving all the time possible and inpossible."
Scientists reviewing the evidence have overwhelmingly concluded that humans actvity is responsible for significant global warming.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (11:44am)
Hilarious - "only" nine errors - in a film with the word "truth" in the title mind you!!
viewed the film at the parties' request. Although I can only express an opinion as a viewer rather than as a judge, it is plainly, as witnessed by the fact that it received an Oscar this year for best documentary film, a powerful, dramatically presented and highly professionally produced film. It is built round the charismatic presence of the ex-Vice-President, Al Gore, whose crusade it now is to persuade the world of the dangers of climate change caused by global warming. It is now common ground that it is not simply a science film – although it is clear that it is based substantially on scientific research and opinion – but that it is a political film, albeit of course not party political. Its theme is not merely the fact that there is global warming, and that there is a powerful case that such global warming is caused by man, but that urgent, and if necessary expensive and inconvenient, steps must be taken to counter it, many of which are spelt out. Paul Downes, using persuasive force almost equivalent to that of Mr Gore, has established his case that the views in the film are political by submitting that Mr Gore promotes an apocalyptic vision, which would be used to influence a vast array of political policies, which he illustrates in paragraph 30 of his skeleton argument:

"powerful case that such global warming is caused by man.." no roc, the sun is the cause of GWarming? that bright ball in the sky
you still know nought(like zero) of what you jibber on about.....
Wed 14 Nov 12 (11:20am)
Lifting something without citations? Isn't that plagiarism?
Since the ABC et al are taking the high moral ground against child sexual abuse, would they be so kind as to NOT repeat verbatim - with sub titles no less (just in case you can't hear the explicit details)- the graphic accounts of the sexual abuse perpertrated? It's the 7 o'clock news for goodnes sake!!! Imagine children siting in their family rooms being exposed to such graphic depictions of the nature of the abuse. I'm surprised the ABC doesn't put pictures up too. Pornography = "devil's pictures" - the verbal accounts are way too close to visual images for my liking - thanks very much. At least they could give a warning to viewers, like they do when they're going to mention or show pictures of a deceased indigenous person. Or dead sheep.

Environmental desecration proposed for one of Scotland's most scenic and historical regions,the Scottish Borders (2000 Sq Miles)
1000 wind turbines (1 x sq mile) proposed for the region which is famous for its scenery and one of the most visited areas in the United Kingdom.
Total madness coming to an area near you?

Watty, I have just returned from Scotland and the Scots are non to happy about the desecration of this area along with the Cairngorms.
The First Minister is a bloke called Alex Salmond who appears to be a complete lunatic and he is the one behind this madness. He is also the one calling for Independence of Scotland without saying how they are going to be able to pay for it.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:07am)
Depends what your definition of beauty is, I find windmills a fantastic sight, certainly better than a coal power station!!
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:44am)
Watty, it has already happened on the once pristine coastline of North Wales and the Isle of Anglesey. Once beautiful and unblemished it is now cluttered with ugly, useless and dangerous wind turbines.
Green lunacy and hypocrisy knows no bounds.
Hedley Thomas: Whistleblower Wayne Hem alerted AWU's national secretary to $5000 payment to Julia Gillard
A UNION employee who was concerned about wrongdoing told the national head of the Australian Workers Union in June 1996 that he deposited about $5000 cash into Julia Gillard's bank account at the request of her then boyfriend Bruce Wilson.
The disclosure by Wayne Hem forms part of a contemporaneous and confidential 150-plus-page diary that was kept by the then AWU joint national secretary, Ian Cambridge, now a Fair Work Australia commissioner.

Courtesy of the Labor and Independent MP's, and the media types intent on a crusade against the Catholic Church, the persecution and abuse has begun. Several people have mentioned that when they said whilst in a group, that they were Christians and Catholic, they were subject to abuse from some people. This country is now turning into a cesspool of hatred by people who feel free to abuse and belittle anyone they disagree with, be it Politically, racial, sexual, or creed, the chickens are now coming home to roost.

Attacks on the Catholic Church or the Catholic Church's attacks on children?

Umm… are you an Andrew Bolt fan? Because that last paragraph sums up this blog pretty well.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:26am)
I meant "last sentence".
Wed 14 Nov 12 (09:23am)
The Royal Commission is not limited to the Catholic Church, and it has bipartisan support. Are Abbott fans so far gone that they are going to criticise an attempt to address endemic child abuse?
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:09am)
Yes you are so right.
Media's intent to be crusaders for us sexual abuse victims at the hands of these vile Priests is a god send. Finally.
Who else have we got? Certainly not the Catholic hierarchy as we individually tried that before. Just got lip service.
Yes the persecution against the adult Catholic Church Leaders has finally begun. For us it was as a little innocent children who had no idea what sex was when we were raped many times.
The now rape of these precious and "poor me" adult Church Leaders who now see themselves as the victims is an insult to the real victims who have suffered all our lives. They have no idea what suffering is.
Let the truth come out.
Let these Pedohiles and those who aided and abetted them be put on trial.
Let all of these so called good Christian clergy be given a life sentence as the victims have had and will continue to have.
Let them live in their prison with pain and suffering as we victims have lived in our own prison of pain and suffering all our lives.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (10:55am)

Wed 14 Nov 12 (08:24am)
What do you fine more objectionable.
Attacks on the Catholic Church or the Catholic Church's attacks on children?
You tell me Mr Jordon, are the Catholic Church the only ones ever to molest children.
If it's more widespread than that, don't you think any inquiry should also be?
Or are molesters only involved in the Catholic Church?
Your honest opinion?
A reply would be nice.
Wed 14 Nov 12 (11:27am)
Mr. Jordan
Um can you rephrase your statement re Catholic church's attacks on children to predators who saw opportunity in the Catholic Order to prey on children! Unfortunately in the 50, 60, 70,s not only were children abused by these disgusting individuals but any child was vulnerable where children where unsupervised and in trusted organisations. Pedophiles were not as visible and discussed as in today's society.

Zack's Kernel News
Sam Ravnborg announced headercheck, a new script that tells whether any kernel headers have failed to include all of their own dependencies. Ingo Molnar thought this was a great idea, but he also bemoaned the absence of a tool that would identify headers that include too many dependencies. He said that "the current practice of 'include enough .h files in the .c file to make it build' has resulted in perversely long #include line sections in .c files." In one case, he said, he'd reduced the number of #include lines in a source file from 32 down to 11.

Well to be fair about $2319 was for tax, which went to the gov't. That leaves about 8000 unaccounted for.
Well the finance guy convinced my dad to buy the extended warranty on a Certified Preowned Vehicle. This was for $2,300 (overpriced). I am told this isnt worth more than 1000 - 1500. Secondly, the finance guy convinced my dad to get Lo Jack. For this he was charged $2700!!!!!! Now we all know Lo Jack is $995 max!!!
Basically his $5000 down payment was swallowed with the extend service contact and lo jack.
Being a second year business law major, I know legally we can't do anything. And I do not intend to pursue anything legally. BUT there are other methods. I am asking for the $3000 stolen from father, who was obviously taken advantage off, returned. Of course Paragon is not legally obligated to do anything, but it would be the right thing to do.
So if this is money is not returned, I will be letting all consumers at Paragon Honda know about their little scam by standing on the sidewalk with signs and flyers. And I have time on my hands. We'll see how it feels like to lose thousands then.

Brattleboro Retreat hospital to eliminate jobs
BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Retreat psychiatric hospital announced Wednesday that it is cutting 31 jobs, two days after unionized workers held an informational picket over what the union has called deteriorating contract talks.
Retreat Senior Vice President of Government Relations Peter Albert said the layoffs are due to projected deficits this year and next year. The cuts will be to both administrative and clinical jobs and affect both nonunion and union positions, he said.
"Any staff reductions are regrettable and very difficult for all of us given the incredible dedication that our employees have for their work on behalf of patient care," he said.
Jack Callaci, director of collective bargaining and organizing for United Nurses & Allied Professionals, which represents 500 Retreat workers, told the Brattleboro Reformer (http://bit.ly/ZLmNys ) that the layoffs show mismanagement among the hospital's administration.
"For the past few years we have been told time and time again about how successful the Retreat has been, and now we find out they have squandered millions of dollars," he said. "The programs they are getting rid of are the programs that used to set them apart.
They are giving more money to paper-shuffling managers and eliminating counselors who work with patients."
The union was notified of the layoffs during contract talks Tuesday.

Corruption is not an obstacle to business in Sweden. Sweden's Penal Code criminalises most forms of corruption, and there is a strong rule of law exisiting in the country. Municipal-level procurement is identified as a corruption risk. Swedish legislation does not make a distinction between bribery and facilitation payments, meaning there is no exception for facilitation payments. Companies should be aware of the Code on Gifts, Rewards and other Benefits in Business, published as a supplement to Penal Code changes (in Swedish). The government of Sweden has implemented anti-corruption laws effectively. The OECD Working Group on bribery recognises the efforts made by Sweden to enforce its foreign bribery offence.

This is fabulous. My DH, who can't get over barley that's not in soup, did not get this concept; I boldly told him that I can get another husband! I made as directed -- the French way -- sans crockpot -- and couldn't be happier with the results! Could be happier with the DH, but that's another story! Lol! Made for Aussie Make My Recipe tag game.
This was great, however I did not use the crockpot. I took MsSally's advice and changed things a bit. I boiled the broth and let the barley soak in it while I browned the chicken and then sauteed the vegetables. Once the vegetables were done, I put everything together in the pot, covered, and cooked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. I was absolutely wonderful and I didn't have to dirty the crockpot.
I must say I did make a mistake first off by reducing hte amount made. There are only 2 of us so I cut the recipe in half. MY MISTAKE! This is comfort food to beat comfort food. I was a bit skeptical, I use barley in soups and stews but thought what they heck. I am so glad I did. With each bite a different flavor was highlighted from the celery, to the carrots, to the bacon pieces mixed over the chicken. An explosion so subtle on the tongue you had to savor each bite. I had a lot of bites as I ate 2 small servings. I need to save some for leftovers LOL. This is wonderful. And so easy in the CROCK! I got to smell it all day! Thank you. Made for AUS/NZ Swap 48

Why does it have to be for the whole 100% - I would have thought that a 'controlling interest' would have been enough for the fans to make life VERY uncomfortable for the Yanks at board meetings. I would personally love to veto every single decision they tried to make and make them want to sell their shares in the club to DIC - then the fans could opt to sell up or reap the dividends a REAL backer would surely deliver.

Reviews for the MSI WindPad Enjoy 10"
Source: Tech2.in.com
The MSI WindPad Enjoy 10 is priced at Rs.16,999 (MRP). In our quest for more patience review for this tablet, the only major problem we actually had was the lack of a fluid user interface, which has been one of the crucial factors why we've given the tablet this rating. Had it been quicker, our rating would have definitely gone a few notches higher. So, if not this, then what? Well, the 17K price tag hasn't really been breached by an impressive 10-inch tablet still, so in our suggestion, you'd be better off holding on to your money, than splurging on something you'd regret later on. If you're hell bent on getting a tablet in a similar price bracket, we'd recommend the Motorola Xoom (Wi-Fi only version) considering it's selling for Rs.19,990 and has 32GB of inbuilt memory. It's back to the drawing board for MSI.

Thankfully, the anti-science propaganda campaign surrounding man-made climate change seems to have lost some of its effect.
Are you seeing storm clouds on the horizon? Two recent studies suggest that the latest anti-science campaign is following its forerunners--the propaganda campaigns attempting to refute science that tobacco causes cancer, that CFC's caused the hole in the ozone layer, and so on—into oblivion. Global warming denial seems to have climbed to a peak in 2010, and global warming acceptance is now climbing. This bodes well for rational public policy.

As to the current state of affairs in this nation I will say this.
Maybe we'd be in better shape if conservative politicians actually helped run the country. Instead all they do is squat on their responsibilities and sit in the corner and pout.
They also try to undermine everything Obama does.
I mean what was their plan from the get go? Make Obama a one term president the country be dam'd.

Mr. Plantain and Dr. Revere were at a baseball game when a line drive foul ball sped toward Plantain's head.
"The ball is coming! The ball is coming!" Revere cried.
Plantain peered into his beer. "I don't see any ball," he insisted.
"You'd better duck." Raising his cup to his mouth, Plantain said, "But I read about a Yankees fan in 1952 who got smacked by a foul ball and wasn't harmed."
"Plantain, it's my learned opinion as a doctor that the ball will hurt you if you don't move."
Plantain shook his head. "Give me one provable scientific fact the ball will hurt me. Just one."
"Sure. Don't duck."

And on the border issue. Within a month of 9-11-01 that border should have been the process of being sealed.
Bush had eight years to take care of it and didn't lift a finger once.
But leave it to a conservative to leave something unfixed and then ***** and complain when the next guy doesn't fix it either.
Hows it put in cases like that.

Oh and Tiredofit. You got 203 pages with lots of info to go through for the information you seek. Have at it sport.
We've played this game a multitude of times.
Facts are laid out and you reject them.
So really whats the point in repeating something that you have already rejected time and time again?
There is none!
You are as simple as a child and the "discussions" devolve into schoolyard banter when you are in the mix.
You aren't interested in the facts.
You are one of those idiots that likes to take something that's been put on the table then sweep it off on the floor with your hand while laughing like a hyena and doing a victory dance.

We dont really have a good choice when it comes to who governs us.
Sad to say it it all comes down to the lesser of two evils. The people understand this and vote accordingly.
Twice they voted against conservative governance.
And to make out like the left is the only ones telling fibs is completely disingenuous.
But whats to be expect from the righties.
They're hardcore hypocrites.

OMG! The idiocy abounds on here.
Socialists and commies and marxists oh my!
Hey Ithink. Winning because of lies?
A war got started because of lies. Thank Bush for that.
Which by the way has blown up in our faces. You see as bad as Saddam was he kept the lid on groups like Isis. I don't ever really think he would have ever used a WMD on us. ISIS on the other hand? They'd nuke us in heartbeat if they could.
So there's that little problem.

"How many terrorists has obama let cross our border?"

It seems Obama won in spite of lies toward him: Kenya, Birth Certificate, Socialist, war on coal, taking guns away, being Islamic...all lies and yet he still won.

"He is a loser"

Obama's foreign policy is to bow to our enemies and bad mouth America. Check the news and see how that is working out. He is a loser, but unfortunately, we are losing too. Big time.

This game is almost unheard of, and I'm not sure why. It's not only a great (and difficult) single player game, but has a great 2 player fighting mode. A great feature is that you can actually get out of your Mech, and you may need to in order to open doors, or platforms. Having man-only-battle is also really fun!

Metal Warriors is actually a very rare game. Only 50,000 units were produced back in the day, which greatly limited its ability to find an audience. That even hurt the game's ability later on to be rediscovered through emulation. Anyway, it's quite timely that you posted this because I'm getting ready to play this game myself. It's one of the few remaining SNES games in my backlog, and I'm hoping it's as good as I remember it.
RentingPosted: Jan 28, 2013 12:00AM PST by Willso
I didn't know it was that rare! I could probably sell it for quite a lot, if I wanted to... I used to rent it a lot, back when that was common, and bought it when they were selling all the 16bit generation games. I've still never beaten the single player mode. I began playing a few old games I had, since I was stuck at home for a few days, and decided to finally beat the game; I didn't, but got a lot further than I had before. I'm glad someone else knows how great the game is.
WillPosted: Jan 29, 2013 12:00AM PST by temperance
Of, I forgot to leave this link for you. There's some interesting info in there about the development of Metal Warriors, as well as the bit about its rarity. But, yes, you could definitely sell this game for a quite a bit of money. The cheapest it goes for on Amazon is $180, and I'd imagine it gets that high on eBay.
Also, I discovered this game through a rental, too. I had a blast with the competitive mode, but I never spent much time with the single-player portion (because, as you said, it was really hard). So, when I came across the game years and years ago at Gamestop, it was quite cheap ($18?) and I bought it for future use.
Other than that, I do hope you eventually beat it. I might need to pick your brain later if I get stuck while playing it!
ThanksPosted: Jan 29, 2013 12:00AM PST by Willso
Playing competitive as people often resulted in one player cheating and getting in a mech, destroying the other... Nonetheless, it's still a blast to play with friends!
Most of the time, I'd get to level 3, or 4 (the snow level), and get stuck, wasting most of my lives.
I recently found it's better to take it slow and, if possible, make sure you have an extra mech. I don't have my SNES with me, but would be glad to share any pointers.
Anyway, Yeah, I'll probably keep my game [Metal Warriors] for a while.
Yeah, thanks for the articles; Goof troop is another game I remember playing... a lot. My friend had some of the popular-favourites, like StarFox, F-Zero, and Kirby's Dream Course. A while ago, another friend and I were discussing playing virtual console/ emulated games, and that they just don't feel the same as the original.
You're very welcomePosted: Jan 30, 2013 12:00AM PST by temperance
There's just a tremendous wealth of information on that site. Just be careful about trawling through it; those related articles can pull you from one great game to the next, and before you know it you've lost an afternoon. I mean, just now I had to read that piece about Goof Troop and Higemaru (I never knew they were connected). That said, if you dig around enough, you'll probably come across the Star Fox, F-Zero, and Kirby pages and be sent down memory lane.
As for emulation, that's one of my complaints about it as well. While it's good in a pinch, it's still not an accurate representation of the real game. So, I try to play games in their original format whenever possible with the original controllers, especially if I'm going to review them (unfortunately there are times when that is impossible, like with old TGCD games).
Finally, if I remember correctly, that's where I stopped playing Metal Warriors. After a while the game starts dropping tough environmental puzzles on you (with the block dropping mech) and that was too much to figure out in a rental period. I have plenty of time to figure them out now, though!

If i was you Vlad i'd be worried.Your manager and owner are not speaking and there's only one winner there. I have my doubts that Maureen will be there next year..who will Abramovich bring in? If your manager goes who will he take with him?Terry is stalling so is Lampard.If those go,especially Terry,real problems. In the present Ballack and Lampard look like strangers;Shev...where do you start;defence needs reinforcing. Abramovich has spent £300m+ trying to win the Champions league and i cant see him waiting forever. A long way to go and you are still in for all 4 trophy's but the warning signs are there.

go peter go!
Good Luck Peter!!
I am so excited....walked 5 miles this morning at an acceptable pace. So far no pain in my back or hip!! WooHoo!!
Bill - you were motoring this morning ...nice run!
Nice hilly 10.2 mi ... 1:37:07 ... 9:34 pace ... 143 hr. Nice coffee and chatter after the run.
Great running everyone! Go Peter!
Good Morning Boomers! Peter good luck on your marathon today. I can certainly understand perception of temps. In vegas the highs were mid 50's, most of the folks were wearing jackets and sweaters, while Kay and I was running around in short sleave shirts. Right on mcsolar...kick some butt!
I am not going to do alot of running for the next week or so. I don't want a burnout like last year. Time to step back re- evaluate reasonable goals for this year. Some things that I would like to do is to continue to build to a higher base, run 2 marathons easy, and try to improve my 10k times while running some real 10k's as opposed to a couple of time trials this year. I also don't want any chronic injuries that would interfere with my running. Is running injury free an unreasonable goal?
Good Runs All, Larry

This morning was a trip to the gym with an upper body workout and some time on the elliptical.
I've been around but mostly lurking. I enjoyed the race reports, especially those from Seattle. I don't reply much because I fall far below the average wittiness of the group, but on some thread I think we were all given permission to go ahead and just answer when/how we want to. !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!
I've going through more injuries this year than I have in all my years of running and coach potatoing. Most have come from non-running activities. But I have been getting in 2-3 runs of 3-5 miles a week and am determined to turn things around.
Like Larry, I'm in easy mode after a marathon last weekend (did I mention that I qualified? !http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|src=http://www.coolrunning.com/forums/smile.gif|border=0!). ~6 miles on an indoor track with my running buddies (most of them went farther), with pace varying from 8:35-9:10. In the last mile, my legs started reminding me about last weekend's adventure.
Peter, fly, fly, fly. Is this your first? I hope you generate some terrific memories. Good luck to all the other racers too.

GrayDave -- nice to see you posting. Though it may seem so, I haven't forgotten RW/runango and the great people I met there. It's nice to see you here. I don't want to move again, either.
Lynden -- you too. I like seeing you post more.
Holly -- good DD gift idea with the tix. I'll take DD to see the Nutcracker again (Pacific Northwest Ballet puts on a wonderful production) but she's not into ballet herself. Prefers hip hop. Okay, I admit it. The Nutcracker mom-daughter event is really for me. I'm racking my brain this year for the kids and long for the days when trucks and dolls were all they wanted. This year DS wants an ipod Nano and DD wants a cell phone. Oh, and another guinea pig.
Been sick for the last 3 days but today plan to try a few miles and see how it goes. Tonight will bundle up and do a walk around Green Lake with the kids and friends -- the city lights up the 3-mile route for one night with luminarias and there is singing, etc. In all the years I've lived here, I've never done this holiday walk.
Good running or cross training this weekend, everyone.

8.5 miles for me today in 1:27:48. It was absolutely beautiful out today. I felt so good during my run, I threw in an extra half mile just because I could.
Good luck to all the other racers this weekend.
rest up, Soundie!
Here's an interesting (to me at least) graph of crowding at the Seattle half marathon. In my 10-minute time slot, over 1000 people crossed the finish line (or 100 people per minute). In Soundie's 10 minute time slot, 600 people crossed the finish line. I want to be fast like Soundie and outrun the masses!

Go Peter! I can't wait to see your report. I ran this same marathon last year and it was fabulous
-great course and great foks all.

The results are already up and it looks like Peter ran a great race I don't know what he was going for, but it looks rock steady awesome to me. The course is full of rolling hills and no cake walk. The winning male time was a 2:39 or something and the 2nd overall finisher was a 25 yr. old woman at 2:45.

I hope you are relaxing now Peter and relishing the accomplishment-Congratulations!!!
15 miles for me today at 9 AM
-34F, sunny, steady pace LSD in 2:04 flat course that skirts a park where they run a 5k and 10k winter series (alternating weekends) This was 10k weekend and my running buddy and I saw the race leaders go into their final mile--nice view of some men in tights. We picked it up and then laughed as we realized that we did so to look at the view for as long as possible.
Happy Saturday to all and good luck to all the racers this weekend.
Go Peter go!! enjoy your marathon to it's fullest.
Mcsolar, great interval run this morning even with such a strong wind and rain. I ran yesterday on a 17mph wind with a slow pace and I thought that was hard. You are so ready to

Peter, you're probably finished by now, but good luck and I hope you enjoyed the experience to the fullest. Looking forward to reading the RR.
6 nice easy miles @10:32 pace this morning. About 31 degrees and misty. Nothing frozen yet, but when I was finished and stretching, I did notice a thin layer of ice on some handrails.
Really nice morning, though....don't we live in a beautiful world? Even with all the "other" stuff happening in some places, I'm thankful for the peaceful time spent running this morning.

Make a Pot Rack From a Screen Door
We ran across this fun little project over at Better Homes and Gardens where this periwinkle door is a pretty sight to see. They suggest using a heavy gauge wire mesh stapled down and then suspending the entire unit from chains.
If you're a little uneasy about the mesh holding you might try pieces of lucite. They are relatively inexpensive at your local big box hardware store and can be cut to size to fit in the same place mesh would. Drill evenly spaced holes for S-Hooks to sit in and you might find yourself with surface that can take a little more weight.
It's a pot rack that has a little upper storage space as well and we think it's a great idea if your kitchen has space. How would you improvise the project to make it yours? Let us know in the comments below!

The Chevy dealer has quit dealing with me and left me alone alone to deal with reading truck body because that is there problem according to Buckalew Chevrolet. I have dealing with reading truck body for a while now to try to get this bed replace. In the first 7 month it spent 4 weeks in the shop getting worked on.
There customer service is the worst I have ever seen and dealt with. I have lost many expensive tools and stock because they tell me it's fixed and the next time it rains the bins get full of water. I got 2 tickets by the police because the tail light fuse would blow all the sudden when we where driving down the road, the shelf inside have broken, the alarm for bed quit, and has taken a year to get them to finally replace the bed.
I would not recommend buying a Reading aluminum service body van, there customer service is terrible, they don't stand behind there product, they don't care about there customers or there property, and they will do what ever they want with you! I'm going to buy another service van this year but I will never ever buy another reading service body or anything from reading ever again, and will not recommend anybody buy from them!

James Toney-Denis Lebedev in Play For November 5?
All-time-great boxing champion James "Lights Out" Toney is turning a negative into a positive… As in he's positive he's going to Russia to kick Denis Ledbedev's ass.
After training extremely hard in preparation, Toney was informed not long ago that his next unified rules MMA bout with Ken Shamrock would be delayed until yearly part of 2012. Already in terrific shape and weighing near the cruiserweight limit of 200 lbs, Toney has decided to instead re-focus on his boxing career and target the #1 cruiserweight contender Denis Ledbedev, who recently knocked out one of his old-time rivals, Roy Jones Jr.
"November 5th, I'm going to invade Russia and show this pretender what happens when he messes with a real fighter," said the always quotable Toney. "I'm calling it 'Lights Out Russia' because he's just the first one I'm going to whip. After I beat up Ledbedev, I'm going back to Heavyweight and I'm knocking Povetkin out"
Toney was last seen in the ring in February when he pitched a 10-round shutout over veteran Damon Reed. He is the current IBA Heavyweight Champion.
"If they think the Roy Jones fight was big over there, wait till I get there and see what I do to this European fighters. The Roy Jones that Ledbedev beat was finished. I'm ready and I'm as good as I've ever been, watch what I do to him. And now I hear Povetkin wants to beat up Holyfield, Evander has been done since I knocked his ass out in 2003. If Povetkin isn't scared he can jump in the ring after I put his teammate away on November 5th"
Toney says he was offered to face Ledbedev at a catchweight, but has been training so hard for that he won't need any allowances.
"I'm going to beat his ass at his weight class, so he can't make any excuses". The last time James Toney fought at this weight he beat the than undefeated IBF Cruiserweight Champion Vasiliy Jirov in what became 2003 fight of the year, he then proceeded to stop Evander Holyfield in his next fight.
"I'm going to do it again in November." James "Lights Out" Toney proclaimed.

Breaking faith with jobless Americans over an applause line

The total for 2010 was 1,334. Net factory billings fell to less than $8 billion last year from more than $13 billion in 2008, retrenchment to a level not seen since 2004.
