Skip to comments.Rangel wants wealth redistribution, says rich didn't sacrifice for war
Posted on 10/26/2011 9:39:39 AM PDT by jazusamo
Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) on Wednesday called for the redistribution of America's riches and hammered the wealthy for benefitting from a war effort fought by the poor and middle class.
Citing statistics that show 1 percent of Americans now own 42 percent of the nation's wealth, the lawmaker representing Harlem said: "There is something wrong with that formula."
Rangel offered no specific remedy for adjusting those figures during his comments on the House floor, but argued further that the wealthiest one percent have the added benefit of not needing to get involved in military service.
"Why is it that we know, or that we can suspect, that in this war where we lost so many lives, that so many people have been wounded, that our brave men and women coming home will subject themselves with a lack of funds to deal with their physical or mental problems?" he asked. "Any yet we somehow know that that 1 percent was not involved in defending our great nation."
"We can almost know without any investigation that the wealthiest of Americans never found themselves protecting our flag," he added.
Rangel said the economy would be helped by getting more money in the hands of the other 99 percent. "If we have the other 99 percent of the people who are not wealthy, and if it was possible for them to get a fair shake and have more expendable income, you wouldn't have to put out ads for them to buy," he said.
Rep. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) spoke after Rangel and argued and the U.S. as a nation is not broke, even though the federal government is broke. the U.S. is effectively keeping the federal government broke by not taxing the wealthy, he said.
"Despite what you hear on TV, despite what you hear on Fox News today, taxes as a percentage of GDP today are at a 60 year low," Murphy said.
Murphy said taxing the top 1 percent more is a needed step because the income of the other 99 percent has remained mostly flat over the past several years, while the income of the top tier has increased sharply.
Unreal. I truly dislike this bunch. Charlie lets start with you! You put up a fight when you had to pay the IRS.
My Dentist runs a huge dental clinic that offers every kind of dental work imaginable. He's a very wealthy man. He also goes to Iraq/Afghanistan every year for 3 months and offers his services to the soldiers. So up yours Charlie.
I think we need to call him "Charlie Censure" from now on.
The largest group of people that are trying to stop people from becoming rich, in this country, are liberal democrats. It sure as hell isn't those already "rich". I don't see the mountain of evidence for that. I see the mountain of evidence against liberal democrats however, of doing just that.
While Charles Rangel lived across the street in luxury Harlem digs, his tenants coped with collapsing ceilings, sinking floors and roaches.
In just one apartment in the six-unit building on West 132nd Street, city inspectors found nine violations in 2003. Rangel and his wife, Alma — the landlords — were ordered to repair the wood floor in the entire apartment, plaster, paint, fix broken bathroom tiles and faulty window frames, and get rid of roaches and mice.
The city also found that the Rangels failed to file the building's annual occupancy statement five times between 1982 and 1996.
I'm still trying to figure out how a person who has never worked in the private sector made so much money.
Lotta chutzpah coming from a tax cheat whose salary is paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
I see the English language is not one of his strong suits either.
I believe we all know how he made much of his money, and it wasn't legal. Then when he got caught red handed for tax fraud the IRS wouldn't prosecute, if it would have been you or I we would have been in a federal courtroom.
If Rangel took 30 seconds to do a Google search before he opened his tax-evading mouth, he'd know he's full of it.
Here's an interesting article about CEOs and military service.
So...if they are getting ready to over regulate / deregulate or mandate eggs, lumber, coal, miners..etc, you name it....They can buy or sell shares/futures...knowing what's going to happen in advance.
"Rangel wants wealth redistribution"
LOL! So get crackin' Rangel...what frauds these people are.
Charlie, how much of that Pay for Play have you Ratholed in some off shore account? Let's start with you with an audit of your campaign treasury.
Let's start with Charlie. Would he be willing to accept a salary that is mean/median/mode of his fellow country men?
Funny stuff coming from a tax cheat and a con-man.
He an his constituents need to go live in North Korea and then get back with us on how it's going.
Sounds silly, but Bob Casey won himself a Pennsylvania Senate seat with a not dissimilar argument.
Boy, they don't even bother to hide the Marxism any more.
What these ideological resentful jerks don't acknowledge is that wealth is not something that just 'exists'. Wealth is the result of effort, risk taking, and innovation. It's not something that is there at baseline, to just be harvested and distributed. If you take away the incentive of those who create wealth, you will not have wealth. It's that simple.
Further, Charlie, if you don't have wealth as a nation, it doesn't matter who you put on the battlefield. You can't fight a war without weapon systems and money. Poor countries with big populations are not necessarily world powers. Further, compare the standard of living of poor in this country, with the average standard of living in much of the world. Even the poorest here in the US live relatively well, Charlie, because the cumulative wealth here is higher - thanks to a system that allows people to benefit from their own efforts.
Ok Charlie, which one of your beach houses are you willing to give up for the cause?
He means reparations when he and his ilk talk of wealth redistribution.
What most of these people (libs) aren't getting is: taxes are not the only thing that redistributes the wealth. How about jobs? Jobs that the wealthy create. THEY pay the wages for the people they hire, NOT the government. So, I would say they ARE paying "their fair share"after all, yes? I wish THAT would get pointed out to the libs; also, NO ONE questions WHY they need to pay more in taxes. For what? So the "demons" can keep on spending OUR money on what THEY want, or giving it away to other countries?? THAT"S why the wealthy have to pay more??
"Rep. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) spoke after Rangel and argued and the U.S. as a nation is not broke, even though the federal government is broke. the U.S. is effectively keeping the federal government broke by not taxing the wealthy, he said."
Rep Murphy is welcome to move to Cuba. Before he does, how about APOLOGIZING to the slim percentage of Americans that pay the majority of our taxes? What rate is the correct rate Mr. Murphy? 60%? 70%? 95%? At what point should hardworking Americans simply acknowledge their status as slaves? Further, how incredibly insulting to suggest more 'revenue' is needed when so much of our tax dollars are pissed away.
I like Perry's plan. I like parts of Cain's plan. I sure as hell hate the notion that we need to further tax ANYONE, especially those who create jobs and invest in our economy!
Can these dems just come out of the political closet start flying their sicle and hammer flag as the party logo?
Another millionaire tax-cheat communist racist traitor... what's not to hate?
AND, if you redistribute the wealth enough (give it all to the poor), then the poor become the rich. Then what? Redistribute again? And, as Poster #23 said, where would the incentive be to become wealthy and prosperous. These idiots are not thinking this thru - and they never will, as they are not logical.

However, two days ago, my fiancee, who has lived with me for 8 months, got one of their nasty grams to the tune of $486 bucks.
The bill had been sent to his old address and forwarded here, but the service dates were for the time he lived here not there. PLUS we were both out of town for the service dates. Plus we have a cable modem.
So, I called Aylon, recognizing the name and the format of the website from the experience with my dad (who also has an unlisted, but not unpublished number). I still didn't think to see if it was a scam. We get so many rude bill people, what's one more? The guy I talked to heard my first question, and right away asked me if I had read the FAQ (of course they tell you all sorts of stuff about how Aylon could no way be in error) but I told him that my BF didn't have that phone number on the dates of service on the bill.
He told me that I had to call the phone company and have them fax to him an affadavit stating that fact, and that he could "no longer" take this information on a three way call. He also said that if the phone company gave me any trouble to give them his name and phone number????
What's up with that? I thought they were supposed to be avoiding that...He said "we are having billing problems because the phone companies are giving us innacurate address information for the phone numbers we have." See below, as far as I can tell, my fiance and this phone number have never been related in any way shape or form.
I then asked him why, if they were having so much trouble, they didn't have someone in house who was tracking down all these errors? I could prove it wasn't us, but that wasn't going to help him find out who really owed the money! He said (loudly and rudely) "Do you know how much that would cost us? That would be three or four people a month just to handle those issues!" I was sort of dumbstruck. Isn't that the point? For them to collect their money?
I pointed out that since it was in the company's interest to track down who really owed the money, and didn't really "give a s**t" (excuse my profanity, I was getting mad by then, and I still didn't know it was a scam but it was sure sounding like it at this point) if they ever got their money and it was sure wasting time I didn't have and there was absolutely nothing in it for me to prove it wasn't us.
He said fine, let the collection agency go after you, and I said fine, good luck proving this... you get the picture. Bottom line is that I have talked to too many collecters over the last few years to let them mess with my head or I probably would have let him rip me off... I am sort of surprised that the a-hole on the phone didn't ask me to pay over the phone, and taken a credit card or checking account, that would have been the ultimate.
By the way, I used to work for SBC, so I have some experience with how the phone number issue is handled.
Anyway, I then called the phone company...(not AT&T, which another poster mentioned as a culprit here, but these numbers and their privacy are kept by the local phone companies, but SBC) and they told me it was an unpublished number and it had been assigned to someone else for over 15 years. This person DID live in the same general area (very large) as where my fiance had, but that is the only connection I can find.
Thus there is not a chance that Jim moved and then the number was assigned to someone else. Not to mention that it hadn't been his number. Not to mention that they would never assign that recently used a number to someone who wanted an unpubbed number.
PLUS he had then and we still do now have a cable modem, not an ISP so this wasn't a dialer issue as has seemed to have been the case before now...
I was under the impression that this company was being held accountable by the FTC. Why then do I get to them just on June 19th?
Does this mean that Aylon is morphing into a new scam? To whom-all should I report this? I read the BBB site and was not very impressed with what I thought should be some pretty severe warnings to whoever looked Aylon up. The FTC, who else? I would think that messing with the phone company would warrant the FBI. I am going to tell my cousin too, he is certifiable and thinks that there is a conspiracy among big business and the Devil, I bet he can make some pretty good noise...
I have to add that I am particularly amazed that these evil clowns can continue with this unabated while the powers that be stand by and let it happen. It's shameful. Maybe my cousin is right and isn't so crazy after all.

WOODBRIDGE - Investigators from the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office are asking for the public's help after a man was shot to death Saturday night in Woodbridge.
Deputies were dispatched to the 300 block of Woodbridge Road, just south of Woodbridge Regional Park, about 11:30 p.m. after receiving reports of multiple shots fired and a man down, officials said.
Neighbors said they heard the gunfire and saw a body at Woodbrigde Road and Triolo Street, where bullets struck at least one parked car.
When deputies arrived, they found a man with a fatal gunshot wound, the Sheriff's Office said. His name has not been released pending positive identification and notification of next of kin, authorities said.
Investigators are still trying to establish a motive for the killing, but they have very little information to work with, officials said.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at (209) 468-4400. Cellphone users can text a tip to 274637 (CRIMES) by entering the keyword "SJSO" followed by their tip.

Tired of that constant, nagging pain? According to the FDA, that arthritis pain is a two-billion dollar annual business, partly because a whole bunch of products claim to relieve arthritis.
"I'm not in favor of running to a doctor. I'm old school Italian," said Cg A Vcchiano.
You name it; tennis champ Al Vacchiano tried it for his knee, but the pain stayed.
After five years, he tried the least invasive surgical option, arthro-scopy. But by then, he had advanced arthritis, and surgery made it worse.
Now your joint's going to be all sore and inflamed from the surgery that you had, so most patients are actually much worse after an arthroscopy," said Geoffrey Westrich, M.D., Co-director of joint replacement research Hospital for Special Surgery New York, NY.
Doctor Geoffrey Westrich says advanced pain patients should ditch those unproven pills, devices, and minimally invasive surgery. For bone-on-bone arthritis, he says joint replacement is the best option.
"Patients are much better having one anesthetic, one correct operation, than having to have two operations with two anesthesias," said Geoffrey Westrich, M.D.
So what's your arthritis IQ? Contrary to popular belief, arthritis is NOT an elderly disease. Two-thirds of patients are under age 65.
Weather is also NOT a factor. In fact, there's no science showing a flare up happens during bad weather.
Finally, you may be happy to know that exercise DOES help arthritis. Doctors say walking, biking and swimming can ease your pain.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
by C.S. Lewis
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Exploration Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
The name of the ship was Dawn Treader. She was only a little bit of a thing compared with one of our ships, or even with the cogs, dromonds, carracks, and galleons which Narnia had owned when Lucy and Edmund had reigned there under Peter as the High King, for nearly all navigation had died out in the reigns of Caspian's ancestors. When his uncle, Miraz the usurper, had sent the seven lords to sea, they had had to buy a Galmian ship and man it with hired Galmian sailors. But now Caspian had begun to teach the Narnians to be once more sea-faring folk, and the Dawn Treader was the finest ship he had built yet. (2.53)
One of the signs that Caspian's uncle Miraz was a bad king is that he squelched exploration of the seas. A good king, like Caspian, encourages his people to learn arts and sciences, like maritime skills and cartography, and also supports meeting other countries and peoples and getting to know them. A bad king, like Miraz, is narrow-minded and fearful, suppressing knowledge and cutting off diplomatic relations with other nations.
Quote #5
While all this was being done Caspian missed no chance of questioning all the oldest sea captains whom he could find in Narrowhaven to learn if they had any knowledge or even any rumors of land further to the east. He poured out many a flagon of the castle ale to weather-beaten men with short grey beards and clear blue eyes, and many a tall yarn he heard in return. But those who seemed the most truthful could tell of no lands beyond the Lone Islands, and many thought that if you sailed too far east you would come into the surges of a sea without lands that swirled perpetually round the rim of the world – "And that, I reckon, is where your Majesty's friends went to the bottom." The rest had only wild stories of islands inhabited by headless men, floating islands, waterspouts, and a fire that burned along the water. Only one, to Reepicheep's delight, said, "And beyond that, Aslan's country. But that's beyond the end of the world and you can't get there." But when they questioned him he could only say that he'd heard it from his father. (4.48)
Years before Star Trek, the Dawn Treader seems to be going where no man has gone before. Caspian and his crew are exploring the seas beyond the Lone Islands for the first time. We're a little curious as to why nobody's ever tried to do this before – didn't the people who live on the Lone Islands wonder what was just down the sea from them?
Quote #6
Bern could only tell them that he had seen his six companions sail away eastward and that nothing had ever been heard of them again. He said this when he and Caspian were standing on the highest point of Avra looking down on the eastern ocean. "I've often been up here of a morning," said the Duke, "and seen the sun come up out of the sea, and sometimes it looked as if it were only a couple of miles away. And I've wondered about my friends and wondered what there really is beyond that horizon. Nothing, most likely, yet I am always half ashamed that I stayed behind." (4.49)
Bern confesses to feeling "half ashamed" that he opted for a pleasant, comfortable life in the Lone Islands instead of accepting the challenge of exploring the edges of the known world. This gives us a clue to the attitude behind the novel: curiosity is highly valued by our narrator, and probably the author as well. Notice that people rarely get into serious trouble in the world of Narnia for poking their noses into things. When Lucy looks into a wardrobe, she finds a magic country; when Reepicheep insists on sailing into an evil-looking darkness, the Dawn Treader is able to rescue Lord Rhoop. What great deeds might Bern have accomplished if he'd continued voyaging?

Hey Ladies! So I've been having health issues for almost 3 years now, mainly with stomach pain and recently a lot of lower back pain. It was getting to the point where I could barely function and all my testing was coming back normal so I finally went to the E.R. I was diagnosed with a complex ovarian cyst (5cm). After reading all of the symptoms and things that this could cause such as bloating, gas, pain after intercourse, frequent urination, lower back pain... I met every single one except infertility. EVERY SINGLE ONE! My question is has anyone else had an issue with these cysts? Should I be really concerned? My OBGYN appt is on Friday and we will work from there on what to do but on the phone she sounded really unconcered because they are so common, but this COULD be the cause of all my pain. Any advice?

I had an ovarian cyst at 14, it hung around so to speak for about 2 or 3 months before it burst on its own. While non harmful it sure was freaking painful.
My cousin also got cysts from time to time as a teenager and in her early 20's was finally diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian syndrome. I don't know exactly how a history of cysts plays into it as far as severity, frequency, size etc but I do know it's very common for pcos suffers to have had normal simple cysts before a diagnosis. Just something to talk about with your gyno while your there.

I do my best spell checking after I hit send.

A simple flash game with a basic platformer setup. The hero needs to jump around and save his girl. The catch? The girl is a zombie. The gameplay involves getting the girl through obstacle courses into her cage to be contained fighting off other zombies if need be avoiding touching her at all. It's up to the player to Earn Your Happy Ending!It has two sequels: I Saw Her Too, With Lasers, a puzzle game; and I Saw Her Across the World, based more around exploration.
This game contains examples of
- And Then John Was a Zombie: The girl and the player at the end of the game.
- Book Ends: The first two games' endings and beginnings take place on a flat plane where you have no choice but to die.
- Boy Meets Ghoul
- Escort Mission: Some puzzles require that you protect the girl zombie - the second game is mostly about getting the boy zombie to the girl safely, or vice versa, without having them getting eaten or disintegrated.
- Fission Mailed: You have to go to the girl and die on the first level and the last.
- Foreshadowing: The game's story is told in a pseudo-hulk speak throughout the game and the story is in past tense becoming a zombie destroyed the hero's grammar.
- Hulk Speak: The games narration is told in simple sentences with no regard to capitalization most of the time.
- It Can Think: Zombies are in fact capable of love. And making pancakes.
- Last of His Kind: The protagonist is implied to be the last human. Near confirmed at the ending of the game, when he gets turned into a zombie it says "All of the humans are dead."
- Non-Action Guy: The protagonist is unarmed for half the game but gets a gun to fight off the other zombies later.
- No Zombie Cannibals: The green zombies won't hurt the girl. The sequel does away with this, though the scientist you play as only describes them as 'filling the [victim] with despair.
- Paranormal Romance
- Stick Figure Game: The art style is minimalistic to say the least.
- Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide": The zombies kill all of the humans by the games end. Though it's likely that that's because the player was the last human.
- Zombie Infectee: Double Subverted If you touch the girl or any other zombie during the game you just die. But in the end the girl touches the hero and he becomes a zombie.

We've regenerated! After 11 fantastic years, we're moving into the future with a bold new identity! Much of what you've come to expect from us will remain the same, but we'll also be looking at exploring new and exciting dimensions. And we've got some excellent guests to help us celebrate our rebirth! First up is Sixth Doctor himself, COLIN BAKER. Mr. Baker first visited us in 2013, and has become a great friend and supporter of our convention, and it seemed most appropriate for us to have him back to kick off the next phase of our convention. Joining him for her first visit to Atlanta is LOUISE JAMESON, who in 2017 will be celebrating the 40th Anniversary of her debut as Leela in 1977's "The Face of Evil." And that's not all! We'll have more fabulous Guest announcements throughout the year, so please stay tuned and join us for WHOlanta in May 2017 for what we promise will be "the trip of a lifetime"!
Tell us how we did!
Hope everyone had a fantastic TimeGate 2016! Now tell us how we did. There are two different surveys you can fill out – surveys for individual panels and an overall convention survey. Each survey will redirect you to a Google Form. If you have a few minutes, please take some time to fill out both.
Panel Survey – This covers particular panels you attended. If you can't remember the particular panel name, try to be descriptive as possible.
Overall Convention Survey – This survey covers everything from the panels to the hotel to everything else!
Preparing for TimeGate 2016. . .
TimeGate 2016 is right around the corner. Here are some helpful tips and some great information to know. *This may get updated if we missed anything*
- The convention is not sold out! There are still plenty of weekend and 1 day badges available at the door.
- Once you've parked and entered the hotel, head immediately to registration to pick up/buy your weekend/day membership.
- Registration opens at 4 on Friday. The convention officially kicks off at 6.
- With that said, here's what each day costs:
- Weekend badges are $65
- Friday badges are $25
- Saturday badges are $40
- Sunday badges are $30
- If you pre-ordered a t-shirt, these will be available for pickup at the TimeGate store.
- IF YOU DIDN'T PRE-ORDER your t-shirt, autograph ticket, or photograph ticket. these will all be sold at the TimeGate store, located right outside Main Programming.
- If you pre-ordered your autograph or photographs, pick up your tickets at the TimeGate store. When it's time for your autograph or photograph session, head to the Centennial D.
- There are no assigned times to choose from this year for autographs and photographs. You are free to choose whatever time works for you based on the schedule that's posted (i.e. so if Paul McGann is signing at noon on both Saturday and Sunday, you can go to either one).
- The photos from the photo session will be printed on site. Give a few hours after your session to pick up your photos. This should give you plenty of time to have the guest sign your photo.
- Are you a TimeGate Immortal Member? Then you get to hang out with the guests at your own private reception on Friday at 6:30 PM in Main Programming. You also get front row seating at all panels in Main Programming.
- The VIP reception will take place in Main Programming and allows you to rub elbows with this year's guests. This takes place at 7 PM on Friday. We still have some tickets available, so if you want to attend, you can buy your ticket at the TimeGate store.
- No flash photography is allowed at the reception.
- The Marriott Century Center still has rooms available. You can call the hotel to see if you can get the TimeGate room rate of $94 but technically our room rate closed on May 13th.
- The hotel has quiet hours starting at 10 PM in the main lobby, so try and keep it down. But back in the programming rooms? Be as loud as you want (not really, but you get the idea).
- There is free onsite parking for the con. If the lot fills up, overflow parking is available across the street at the office complex.
- There will be program books available at registration. There will also be a digital copy linked to the app.
- There's an app! It's been submitted to the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Windows Phone store. Updates will be available throughout the entire weekend.
- The schedule will be printed out and on display at the Information Services desk. Any updates to the schedule will be posted there.
- Don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter all weekend. Also share your photos with us during and after the con.
- Use #TimeGate2016 whenever you reference us on social media!
- Make sure you're following us on Twitter because we may live stream some of the con!
- MarksterCon's Time Lord Party III is for ages 18+.
- We do have a Kids Track that has programming schedule throughout the weekend. Definitely go check them out. They've got some fun stuff planned!
- TimeGate has a ConSuite. What does that mean? If you are feeling peckish and don't want to leave the hotel for a snack, visit room 1508 and grab a quick bite. Hotel Rules: The hotel does not want any food from the con suite on the first floor. They're being extremely gracious by letting us have a con suite, so let's not push our luck with the hotel.
- The hotel restaurant will be selling Grab n Go lunches in case you don't have time between panels to have a sit down meal.
- Have a question? Head to Information Services. They're located right off the main hallway on your way to the two video rooms. Can't miss 'em.
- The Masquerade and Cabaret are both on Saturday this year.
- Sign up sheets for the Masquerade are available at the Information Services desk.
- The Cabaret is on Saturday night. Like always, admission to the cabaret is $5 and all proceeds go to charity. This event is rated PG but we can't always control the actors so a bad word may slip out every once in a while.
- Gallifrey Game Night on Saturday night is for the 21 and older crowd (sorry kiddos):
- Gallifrey Game Night – Similar to Hollywood game night, but on Gallifrey – and with our celebrity guests.
- We have two new games running during the convention:
- The BBC Quiz Show will be Saturday from 11:30AM-12:30 PM in the back half of Main Programming.
- The "Find the Doctor! Choose Your Own Adventure Game" will start at 2PM on Saturday in Decatur 1.
- There is a wrap up panel on Sunday at 6. Tell us how we did. Shower me with praise. There will also be a few announcements that you'll be the first to hear!
- Remember to have fun. This is going to be a great con and we are so excited for everything planned this weekend!

Tick Tock, Goes the Clock . . .

About 1year and 2 weeks after the purchase of my new refrigerator from HHgregg of a Haier the handle broke off in my 10yr
old daughter's hand. Both HHgregg and Haier said it is out of warranty, even with my extended warranty! Haier of the
Philippines did say though that they would replace the handle if I could email them a copy of the receipt!! Heir representative
gave me bogus email address to send it too!! When I call back to get a correct email address, a different representative could

I took a quick look at this website and they are advertising that they design websites. After looking at thier portfolio, they have poorly made websites and they charge for their services. They use a FREE Product. Wordpress, to make websites. You can do everything they do on your own. Im assuming they charge anywhere from $100-500 just for their services.
They make it sound like its really hard but a few google searches and you can have a website in under an hour. I dont even know how much they charge and really do not want to find out. I found out that the designs they actually alter or make themselves are very poor and ugly.

Liverpool Message Board
Tactical Solution to make a BIG Difference
I think coming off the Newcastle match, I find it hard to complain about anything at all as far as effort, performance, heart and style. 1 lapse of bad defending, and 1-2 glaring easy chances wasted, and it goes from 1-1 (maybe never conceding) to 2-1 or 3-1, but, as tends to be our case, it is what it is..
Having said that, I'm wondering if anyone else has been pondering this, or at least part of this from what I think tactically, where I almost never question Rodgers so far, outside of the Carling Cup vs Swans..
I would have a full blown, competition, fighting tooth and nail between Sahin, Suso, and Shelvey, with the best one in training, meaning attacking, pressing, winning the ball back, completing through balls and high efficiency chances, and ghosting into the box to finish.. Best man starts, and I'd like that to be Suso.. here's why:
Suso has shown at every level he's been at so far, what a creative, clever and talented player he is on the ball, with the ability to control it at his feet, pick a pass and unlock some defenders, BUT, he is not blessed with tremendous speed or pace, though tricky. I view him as our very young version of a David Silva type, so my rationale here, in highliting his lack of straight line pace is that he shouldn't play as that wide right attacking winger, but rather right up front, behind Suarez. What this would then allow us to do is put Sterling right, and Assaidi left, both of which are True wide players, and wide attacking players with the ability to race past a man, dribble around one, and deliver crosses as well as cut in for shots. Most importantly, what this would do as 2 true wide players, is keep Suarez centrally, which is where he can be at his destructive / devastating best. Just think of that play where Suarez had rounded his man wide right and cut an easy goal over to Shelvey who scuffed it! Now, if that had been Sterling laying it off to Suarez, that's buried, and bang 2-1..
No, this does not solve the problem of having depth or another clinical finisher behind Suarez, who isn't always clinical himself, but, it could relieve some pressure on him, also take him out of some of those situations where he's occasionally a bit selfish and misses an open player, where his focus could be right on goal, and at the same time, since all 4, Suarez, Sterling, Suso, and Assaidi (or Shelvey/Sahin) are quite interchangeable, so it wouldn't prohibit Suarez from going wide time to time in counter attackes or loose balls, but just over all, give him less to burden, and more to finish..
This also still allows Gerrard to make his surging runs from time to time (which he'll never stop) and allow Allen to cover..
This resembles 4-2-3-1, which BR did at Swansea with Gylfi behind Graham, and now Laudraup is doing with Michu and Graham, while still using Dyer, Pablo and Routledge as his wide players..
Again this doesn't solve the depth issue, prevent an injury (god forbid) or make Suarez that much more clinical, but it certainly would allow more creativity and pace from the entire front 3, give him less to do by picking it up deep, taking on 4 defenders and then trying to finish..
I'm just wondering what the reason for not seeing Assaidi as a starter, let alone a sub very much in the league yet.. maybe physicality? But, sooner or later he has to be used, and I certainly would have used him over Downing vs Newcastle without hesitation. By that point, Newcastle were dog tired and chasing shadows while we bombarded the final 3rd with an extra man up..

...hahahahahah, sucking jasons ringer.slurp slurp
typrickal redshyte gobshyte
I think that formation is pretty much what Rodgers is trying to achieve with different personnel in different places obviously.
I've been having my own little personal debate (yes I've been spotted talking to myself again) on the set up of the forward line or front 3. We clearly have some issues with our chance conversion rate being poor at best. So something needs to change there and it's how best to achieve it. So it's another Pink Custard Analysis.................
Firstly Suarez is a shoe in. Simply too good on his day to leave out but where and how to play him. I see two options.
1. As a old fashioned inside forward, a provider who will also score goals;
2. or as a False nine as they are now called.
The two are different, not so much in what Suarez does but more in who you put around him. As an inside forward you need to put a srong minded centre forward alongside him. One that will demand the ball from him and basically score goals. Suarez would play one of the wider roles of the front 3.
The latter which seems to be Rodgers favoured option is to have Suarez in the central role but in no way resembling a centre forward. As Suarez wanders one or both of the wider players must tuck in and become that centre forward. This means that those two wide players are not wingers but forwards that play the channels. Width comes from the full backs. Those forwards need to be a bit more flexible than an out and out centre forward but they must still be able to score goals.
That's our current problem. Not one of the forwards we have is both flexible attacking force and can score goals. Sterling perhaps as he develops pehaps and while Shelvey shows the nonce to be able to get into the correct position he still hasn't convinced anyone of his goal scoring prowess yet.
To me this also means that there is no place in the squad for Downing. Assaidi too perhaps as he is also an out and out winger.
Perhaps Rodgers will be clever and buy players in January that will give us the flexibility of both approaches?
- 1 Reply to Colyn
Noo Noo, you have a very good understanding of the Rodgers system, I think it is the best way to get the most out of Luis and will long term be the best for Sterling too. The system is good though the tools are not perfect, to be fair, it must take time for Suso, Assaidi and Sterling to work out when and where they should be so it is no suprise to see a slow realisation process. I really don't know whether bringing an out and out starting 11, through the middle centre forward will be a good idea or not, i'm thinking we need to keep the faith in Rodgers 'masterplan' and get the LF and RF sorted.
Jason, I like your attacking intent but do you not see that as more a 4-4-1-1 formation? I think pushing a more attack minded player through the middle and losing a midfielder would concede more possesion and make us less dominant whilst limiting the 'wide' players to having a bit more discipline too?
I think both of your ideas about Assaidi almost answer themselves, he is more of a tricky touchline winger so should make for an excellent supersub. From what I have seen of him, he looks technically excellent and doesn't lose the ball too much. He looks very skinny though and I have yet to see him make a tackle despite good work rate. I think it will come with him but I am suprised he hasnt had more playing time in the premier league yet.

US dollar is gaining against all comers today, thanks to expectations that a rate hike is coming by the end of 2016.

How do you fix a carriage jam?
How do you fix a carriage jam in the photosmart printer?
Is this a good question?
How do you fix a carriage jam in the photosmart printer?
Is this a good question?
Note that there is a difference between a paper jam and a carriage jam, although one can cause the other. Auyeung1962's answer worked for clearing a carriage jam message on my HP PhotoSmart c4385 that persisted after the paper path was clear, the print carriage was moving freely, power was confirmed, and a hard reset had been performed.
Specifically, the carriage Auyeung1962 refers to is an inkjet wiper tray that sits under the cartridges on the right side of the printer. The tray should slide easily back and forth, at right angles to the print carriage, with just a little hesitation when the wipers go under a scraper bar that sits behind the carriage.
My c4385 was out of warranty and had printed almost 9000 pages when enough ink had accumulated to gum up the wiper tray rails. I cleaned mine with cotton balls, a hemostat, and cheap vodka. I don't think it took me so long, but I didn't go nuts, just cleared where the moving parts slide. I was careful not to get alcohol anywhere where ink doesn't normally splash.
When you've got the tray moving smoothly, make sure you remove any stray cotton fluff, especially from the rubber wipers. Then close up the printer and print a test page (On the c4385 press the Cancel and Green buttons).

HP states to NOT pull the paper out.
Here's a link to HP's solution to a carriage jam on this model: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...
Was this answer helpful?
I do this all the time, I've heard some BS about it ruing print heads, but I doubt, I've never had that problem. I've followed their advice, but pulling it out always works well.
Here is what I discovered...
You need to clean the ink cartridge carriage tracks. the carriage is under the ink cartridges. it slides forward/backward but excess ink was sprayed into the guide tracks and gummed up the tracks.
I used rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs to clean out the tracks. it took over 30 minutes to get it clean enough. there are several track sections.
good luck
Was this answer helpful?
You have to open it up and take a look, pull down the drawer thing that is above the paper slot, then look and see what's blocking it, you should be able to pull/yank it out if it's just paper.

The carriage of a printer is the assembly that holds the ink cartridges and slides back and forth to transfer ink onto printer paper. Paper jams can sometimes lead to carriage jams, especially after printing on thicker paper like an envelope. When the carriage stalls, you may hear a grinding noise as the printer attempts to move the carriage. The problem is that the actuator arm is stuck, which prevents the carriage from moving.
To clear a paper jam from the rear door, complete the following steps.
Press in the tab on the left side of the rear door to release the door. ...
Gently pull the paper out of the rollers. ...
Reattach the rear door. ...
To continue the current print job, press the Start Copy Color button ( ) to select OK.

What is Dual Enrollment
Dual Enrollment provides the perfect opportunity for high school students to reap the rewards of college coursework while still in high school. The program allows high school students to earn college and high school credit for the same course. Students enroll in college-level courses that are taught at their high school or attended at one of our campuses.
Why should I participate?
Dual Enrollment students have the opportunity to acquire college credit while satisfying their high school credits. Students are able to participate in challenging college-level courses while getting a head start on completing a future college credential and potentially saving money in the process.
What are the eligibility criteria?
To qualify for any general education and business courses students must have an unweighted high school GPA of 3.0 and meet the following minimum English and reading scores on a college admissions test as listed below. PLAN ACT and PSAT scores are not permissible for seniors
- ACT or PLAN ACT score of 18 in English and 19 in Reading
- SAT or PSAT score of 500 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
In addition to both the English and reading score cutoffs above, to take a math or science class students are required to have the following math test score in the math section of the college admissions test that they completed. Math score cutoffs for ACT, PLAN ACT, SAT, and PSAT for popular dual enrollment math and science courses are as follows.

*NOTE: Only juniors and seniors are eligible for the Dual Enrollment Grant.
Am I a good fit?
- Are you mature?
- Are you responsible?
- Do you take initiative?
- Are you a good student?
- Are you ready to make the sacrifices necessary to perform well in your college courses?
Each of these qualities present a significant advantage and are typically found in successful Dual Enrollment students.
I'm interested. What do I do now?
Please view the Dual Enrollment Checklist for details and next steps.
Things to be aware of
Dual Enrollment students are treated the same as all other Pellissippi State students. In fact, unless a student self-discloses, it is entirely possible that his or her professor will never know that a dual enrollment student is in the class. It is also important to remember that Dual Enrollment courses become part of a student's permanent college transcript. No matter where you plan to attend college after graduation, a copy of your Pellissippi transcript will be required. Finally, please keep in mind that college professors cannot speak with parents about student attendance, grades, etc. unless the student signs a waiver form. This is true even if the student is a minor.

Agrarian Trust has the mission to support land access for next generation farmers, and is a project of the Schumacher Center for New Economics.
In the next two decades, 400 million acres of U.S. farmland will change hands, and the question of what will happen to that land when it reaches the market is crucial to the future of our food system.
Just in time for this pivotal land transition is a new generation of young farmers, eager to become stewards of our land and healthfully provide for their communities. However, these farmers face ever greater odds in accessing affordable and secure land tenure; the price of land in the US has skyrocketed in the past decade, and one acre of farmland is lost to development every minute.
A sea change is needed to ensure secure, affordable tenure for this new generation of land stewards in this crucial moment of intergenerational land transition.
Agrarian Trust was initiated in January 2013 by a group of stakeholders in sustainable agriculture; many of them farmer service providers and beginning farmers who have witnessed firsthand the formidable obstacles we face – there is great work being done to help farmers access land, but it is not enough to make the change needed. Working together for 3 days, this group came up with a plan of action to address the needs of service providers and next generation farmers.
Goals of Agrarian Trust:
- Build the issue (of land access) and reframe the solution through public symposia, collaborative advocacy campaigns, and stakeholder meetings.
- Support the network of stakeholders and service providers through collection and documentation of innovative models for land access. Create a comprehensive resource portal to pool the useful tools already developed.
- Build the Agrarian Trust that can hold and transfer land to regional land organizations, and ensure its sustainable and productive stewardship for generations to come.
We are currently hard at work on the first two of these goals, as well as working towards incorporation as our own legal entity.
We hope that you will join us in this effort. For land access stories, information about our upcoming Symposium, and to join our email list, please visit the Agrarian Trust homepage.

Agrarian Trust is a Participating Member of the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition
Farmland Access remains a keystone issue for the next generation of farmers in the country and for farming as a whole. In historical terms, the 'agricultural use value' and 'real-estate value' have never been more polarized. In other words, the value that you can earn from production on the land is far below the value of the land in the marketplace. As a consequence financing of land adds to the the high capital needs of a start-up farm business ( restoring barn, cooling, greenhouses, fencing, pasture upgrades, equipment etc) along with inevitable life and operations costs: healthcare, gasoline, housing. In a cheap-food economy earning enough to pay for these four costs : 1.) land, 2.) infrastructure, 3.) working capital, 4.) living expenses presents a major challenge for new farm operators. Add on to this high perishability, high labor costs, un-predictable weather and a persishable product, you can see why it takes a brave soul to enter agricultural entrepreneurship.
And yet this is exactly what our rural economy needs, more producers operating at an appropriate scale, with the ability to create jobs, care for the soil and water, and produce healthy food for markets, schools, hospitals and distribution networks. We must also rebuild regional infrastructure: cold storage, juice presses, creameries, co-packers, aggregators. These farms produce goods of community value, and as a result to ensure that these farmers can operate we must employ tools which allow the producers both economic opportunity, and the ability to make decisions that are good for the land over the long run.
Each year, a new crop of eager apprentices enter the field, training with experienced mentors, in CRAFT programs, incubator programs, Extension-based farmer training, HMI based business trainings and as farm managers. We have seen an explosion of new farm startups in the last 8 years, but still farmers 65 and older outnumber farmers 35 and younger by a factor of 6: 1. ( USDA census). As a nation, we have an abundance of high quality agricultural land and simply need the best farmers and farming techniques to sustain our lands, and ourselves.
Phase 1 (2013)
We understand that innovation often happens at the edge, therefore our task is to gather together the insights and institutional patterns from our national community.
Each of these case models ( from legislation, cooperative investment, support groups for landowning women) represents a useful tool for farmers and others to use in designing their own farm-land access strategy. We will catalog these case models, interpret them, and evaluate them according to the criteria we developed at our founding meeting.
-Find and showcase models from across the country: innovative practices employed by farmers, communities, planners, investors and cooperatives to address this key issue of land access.
- -Document and promote regionally-appropriate models that conserve productive farmland dedicated to sustainable agriculture, and make the land available to next-generation producers.
- -Expand and enhance the financial, legal, and technical assistance networks that are central to the political and economic success of the next generation of American agrarians;
- - Facilitate and develop the social and intellectual networks required to overcome the present cultural economy of industrial agriculture. See the resource map we created.
- By learning from successful models, we can scale up the rate of farmland succession
Phase 2: (2014)
Raise the profile of Farmland Succession Issues.
- Presentation at Oxford Real Farming Conference ( January)
- Our Land Symposium (April 26 & 27)
- Land Negotiation Training Event (May 3)
- Presentation at BALLE Conference, Oakland (June)
- Presentation at Summer NOFA Conference ( August)
- in partnership with Conservation Law Foundation
- Presentation at American Farmland Trust annual gathering (September)
- Presentation at Bioneers ( October)
- Presentation at Presentation at Slow Money Conference ( November)
- Farmland for the Future, (November 2014)
- in partnership with Community Food Funders, and North Star Fund.
Build the legal structure and institutional structure to hold the trust in partnership with Sustainable Economies Law Center.
Release 2nd guidebook: " Benevolent Investors Guide to the New Farm economy"
Phase 3: (2015)
Begin Accepting Land Gifts, and donations to purchase farmland for Agrarian Trust.
Begin accepting new farmer proposals for farmland purchase and protection
Release 3rd Guidebook
Agrarian Trust was conceived in January 2013 by a 30-member team of farmers, ranchers, lawyers, conservationists, farm-service providers, philanthropists, farm business advisers, technical assistants, agricultural economists and accountants at Paicines Ranch, Paicines California.
Our mission is threefold:
- Build the issue of land transfer. What Henry George called "The Land Question."
- Support stakeholders (landowners, new farmers, investors, farm service providers, farm heirs, farmland owners) to make good decisions for the best interest of the land and its stewards
- Build a Farmland Commons to hold the land, a gold standard that provokes a powerful conversation about the commons.
After another convening at Paicines Ranch in January 2014, we released a set of principles, which we made public at the 2 day, OUR LAND Symposium in April of 2014.
Agrarian Trust is happy to be partnering with the Sustainable Economies Law Center of Berkeley California in writing the legal language to hold land in the farmland commons. We hope to be ready to take in farms by April 2015, primarily via " land gifting" in the tradition of the Bhoodan movement.
The trust design is based on the work of Terre De Liens, a French group that has protected more than 100 organic farms, as well as the principles gathered from our stakeholder community during the Paicines sessions.
The design is informed by the question: "What does the land want?" And how can we arrange the social and economic relationships around that goal. Through our work we can preserve affordable farmland for sustainable agriculture, in perpetuity. In the face of land grabbing, speculation, financialization and farmland loss to development– we know the power of example to provoke a conversation about the foundation of our economy.
On our site you'll find many useful resources including a guidebook: Affording Our Land, a young farmers guide to farm finance. We also have a blog of "Land News" and over 70 documented Land Access Stories & Strategies, which will continue to grow. We are committed to tracking, and interpreting innovative models of partnership, lease-to-own, community finance, and land-gifting, and welcome your suggestions of more leads to follow up on. You can also find a comprehensive resource list and geocoded map, access to a network of Agrarian Lawyers, and the Kiva Zip program.
For landowners and land-seekers, check out the Land Listings.
Want to work with us?
Please send a resume (or link to an online bio) plus a letter of interest to email@example.com.
We are currently looking for:
journalists and story-tellers to write up our growing list of land access case studies
development and fundraising expertise
land access hub coordinator (farm inquiries, resources, partnerships)
social media and blog coordinator

Chicken Giblets: An Illustrated Guide
Most industrial, large-scale farmed chickens do not come with giblets. Pity. But if you buy your poultry from a small farmer or a good butcher, you may find this little treat wrapped up inside the cavity of the bird. Minus the liver which can give the stock a bitter flavor, the giblets are best prepared as a stock to then add to the drippings in the roasting pan, and end up with a flavorful gravy. They can also be added to a stock made with a left over chicken carcass or two. In that case, toss them in raw while the stock simmers away. The liver is best pan-fried with garlic and spread on toast, if you want one cook's opinion.
Turkey giblets are usually significant enough in size that they can be used in a dish like pâta. Some people insist in cooked and chopped up giblets being added to their Thanksgiving stuffing.
Get to know this part of your chicken. How would you like it if someone tossed your vital organs in the trash?

We love everything about this plugin except the nasty link it inserts into the thumbnails, that goes to shrinktheweb, before the actual website. We would prefer no link at all on the thumb (since it's on the right already). Is there a solution?
The Support Forums will be in read-only mode for a scheduled maintenance window on 01 September 2016 14:00 UTC - 20:00 UTC. More information.
We love everything about this plugin except the nasty link it inserts into the thumbnails, that goes to shrinktheweb, before the actual website. We would prefer no link at all on the thumb (since it's on the right already). Is there a solution?
This has nothing to do with my plugin. Thank you for blaming me. Feedback like yours is why I love being a plugin developer. not.
If you check out the latest STW changes, you'll see that this is a result of using the free STW account. They emailed everyone about this weeks ago. It's in their FAQ too.
Alternatively you can use the custom thumbnails feature, or you can pay for an account with STW.
Thanks for the solution, all you had to do was tell me that the solution would be to get a STW account instead of going all defensive about your plugin... maybe you missed my first part of the sentence.... WE LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLUGIN... typical developer attitude. Not being a developer myself, I thought the problem was plugin related which is why I posted asking for a solution. We looked online for a solution and came up with nothing. Since we only signed up with STW yesterday, I am guessing we did not get the memo... so please, before you come back to me with attitude rather think about the whole picture.
Sadly I get 1 to 2 emails a week complaining or criticising me about this plugin. It erodes my interest in the plugin as a result. Most WP developers feel unappreciated.
I completely understand how you feel based on my reaction. If you re-read your first sentence in your message, you blame my plugin for inserting a nasty link. If you look at the code, it does no such thing. When someone criticises my hard work, I take it personally, especially as so few people say thank you.
Your work with this plugin over the years has been exemplary. There will always be complainers, but hundreds if not thousands of people use this plugin with out issue. It's a shame more folks don't tell you what a great job your doing.
Well I just wanted to say thank you. It certainly makes a big difference to me.
Should be a warning about the thumbnail issue in bold and large type on the main page of the plugin. I didn't figure out about the problem until after I'd already installed it. Shame that STW did that, it renders the plugin unusable for most.
I agree with the OP, plugin is fantastic outside this glaring issue.
As stated earlier, this link has nothing to do with the plugin. Also, this issue disappears if you opt for the paid version of STW. There are other portfolio plugins, so just try one of those if you're not happy.
Wow, what an attitude. Give you a compliment for a great plugin, point out a flaw that should be remedied for an improved user experience, and you throw it back in my face? If you would read, I clearly didn't blame you for STW link issue.
In regards to paying over a $100/year for thumbnails, that's laughable. What should be done with the plugin is the option to disable STW and upload screenshots.
Either way, you get a big fat gold star in the egotistical jerk developer field for the day. Perhaps you should instead put in big bold type "I don't want to hear any commentary or feedback about my plugin, otherwise I will give you whiplash with my attitude problem."
Hello, I had no intention of offending, I was merely being to the point. I apologise, I did mis-read your comment about STW.
I have tried updating the documentation for the plugin to highlight the change in behaviour with STW, but I've been having technical issues with WordPress.org and updating the plugin code.
I agree that STW is really expensive. There's no need to disable the STW functionality, as you can upload a custom thumbnail with the plugin already. It's called Custom Thumb URL. Adding that field will automatically override the STW functionality. I think I might make the docs clearer to state that STW accounts are not needed to use the plugin.
Again, apologies for the confusion. I can see how what I said could make you feel like that, but I was genuinely trying to be helpful.
Kind Regards

Robert Snodgrass gave the Canaries a half-time lead, a Ben Foster howler gifted Grant Holt a second, the third was an own goal from Gareth McAuley and Jonny Howson scored a spectacular late fourth to leave Clarke to reflect on a forgettable afternoon.
"We've been terrific this season, here we were the opposite," he said. "We were really poor.
"It's a blow to us because that's not a normal performance for West Bromwich Albion. We were nowhere near it. It was Norwich's day, not ours."
Foster's decisive error with 28 minutes remaining gave the Canaries some breathing space.
The England goalkeeper met Wes Hoolahan's prod forward with a mis-kick which allowed Holt to walk the ball in. But his manager refused to criticise Foster.
"It's a mistake," Clarke said. "He knows it's a mistake. He didn't do it on purpose. And it was pivotal in the game.
"At 1-0 there was still the nervousness and the tension around the stadium. At 2-0 it released the pressure and they ran away with the game at the end."
Peter Odemwingie came on as a substitute late on after a second half of the season in which his Twitter tirades have been an unwanted distraction and Clarke expects the Nigeria forward to leave this summer.
The West Brom boss said: "His future will be decided in the summer. I don't think he'll be here next season."

I'm already waiting for the next album!
From the brilliant songwriter who brought us Seven Days, A Thousand Years, Shape Of My Heart, Lazarus Heart, Fortress Around My Heart, Be Still My Beating Heart, Something The Boy Said, A Ghost Story and Everybody Laughed, the new album is comparitively so average. It seems that witty songwriting and playing have given way to lots of Kipper-style programming (great work but so boring) in their place. The album is boring. There's nothing in 7/4, no vocal phrases with interesting shapes. The opening track is quite beautiful, but the rest is terribly unmemorable. I'm still a huge Sting fan and regard him as one of the most gifted musicians (as a whole package... writer, lyricist, player, and of course singer) to walk the face of the earth, but this new album is a terribly mundane and uninspiring offering. After a 3 year gap since writing the material on Brand New Day, I had really expected some great material. I don't feel that any of these tracks would stand up to the "play them on the piano" test... in other words, without the production and interesting sounds (including the sho and 'cello), would there really be much substance / emotion / wit to any of the material? There is still a place in this world for great playing and songwriting, recorded without excessive production... Dave Matthews and his band are a lesson in how this is done. And anybody who knows Ten Summoner's Tales or Soul Cages would know that Sting was once the master of this art too. Is Sting losing his edge? I think I'll hold off making that judgement until the next album comes out... which, given that I'm writing this on the day his new album has been released, my not be any time soon!

Definition of hanky-panky in English:
noun[mass noun] informal, humorous
Behaviour, in particular sexual or legally dubious behaviour, considered improper but not seriously so: suspicions of financial hanky-panky
More example sentences
- Catching the spirit of the movie, we want to believe that you and the young cast indulged in all sorts of fantastic sexual hanky-panky.
- How come the same people who call same-sex marriage immoral are so often up to their necks in heterosexual hanky-panky?
- Which only goes to show that there's nothing better than a bit of sexual hanky-panky to divert the public from more serious matters.
goings-on, funny business, mischief, misbehaviour, misconduct, chicanery, dishonesty, deception, deceit, trickery, intrigue, skulduggery, subterfuge, machinations;
extramarital sex, infidelity, unfaithfulness, adultery, liaison, affair, fling
informal monkey business, shenanigans, carryings-on, carry-on, fooling around, playing around
British informal jiggery-pokery, monkey tricks
North American informal monkeyshines
formal fornication
archaic knavery
Mid 19th century: perhaps an alteration of hokey-pokey.
People have been talking in disapproving terms of hanky-panky since the 1830s. Then it tended to mean 'trickery' or 'dishonest behaviour', whereas since the 1930s it has mainly referred to sexual indiscretions. The word is possibly an alteration of hocus-pocus, which was said by conjurors as they performed their tricks, rather like 'abracadabra!'. This appeared in the early 17th century based on a pseudo-Latin phrase hax pax max Deus adimax used by conjurors as a magic formula. Hoax (late 18th century) may be a shortening of hocus-pocus.

Basic apartment but clean and functional - we arrived very late (1am) but handover was carried out with minimum of fuss.
At the top of 3 steep flights of stairs but it was very quiet, essentially well placed - next to Gare Du Midi with a number of amenities nearby, a stroll from the centre and pleasantly multi-cultural, atleast for us.
Also 2 minutes down the road is Cantillon Brewery. Please make sure you get to view this iconic and unique establishment.

DOHA: The Qatari bourse has urged the owners of small and medium businesses to contact its listing department to exchange ideas in its preparations to launch a junior stock market.
"Medium and small enterprise owners are invited to take the initiative of contacting the listing department of Qatar Exchange (QE) to exchange ideas and views that could contribute to the successful development of the market," a senior QE administration official said.
In a statement, Ahmed Al Sayed, vice-chairman of QE's board, said the proposed parallel market will offer investors as well more options for investment by increasing the number of listed companies.
Al Sayed said he lauded the decision of the Supreme Council for Economic Affairs and Investment, approving the establishment of a junior market for small and medium enterprises (SME's) at Qatar Exchange as a major milestone in enhancing the role of these companies in supporting the national economy and contributing in the achievement of Qatar National Vision 2030.
He said the move would contribute to developing the SMEs companies and increasing their efficiency and enhancing their role in the national economy.
The management of Qatar Exchange will take the necessary measures to implement the decision in cooperation with the concerned financial and governmental entities and in coordination with the Enterprise Qatar, Qatar Development Bank and Silatech, he added.
Al Sayed stated that the criteria, which will be set for small and medium enterprises, will be different from the currently-applicable requirements for listing companies on the main market, noting that the establishment of a junior market will give SME owners the opportunity to be listed in Qatar Exchange in accordance with flexible regulations, in addition to giving them further financial resources to grow and expand their businesses.
