Homicide suspect spotted in Ellensburg
SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane homicide suspect Tony Callihan has fled our area and was spotted in Ellensburg Monday morning.
Witnesses say Callihan was driving the green 2000 Dodge stratus he stole from his alleged victim, Michelle Koenen, last Friday.
Ellensburg Police report Callihan stole two cans of gas from a greenskeeper at Central Washington University. That greenskeeper spotted Callihan in the act as he was taking the gas cans from his utility truck.
He wasn't able to stop him but was able to get his car's license plate number, which he turned over to Ellensburg police and turned up as being wanted out of Spokane in relation to the Koenen homicide investigation.
The car is registered to Koenen, who was found strangled in her home last Friday afternoon. Koenen was Callihan's girlfriend.
Spokane Major Crimes detectives have asked police from Portland to Seattle to be on the lookout for Callihan, who is considered armed and dangerous.

Not for below freezing temps
By TXcop
from Ft. Worth, TX
I've been using them for the last few months on patrol in Texas. They are comfy and well built. They don't offer much warmth once it gets below freezing. Directed traffic in them for about 30 minutes and my fingers were freezing. Good for short stints out in the cold. Would recommend for southern states but you guys up north will be disappointed.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Would be good if they fit right
By Brett
from Central VA
I bought these gloves because I'm a police officer and I need a glove with good grip, tighter fitting, and can access weapon without bulk, keep hands warm. The grip is good they fit snug on the hand and width of the fingers. But a few of the fingers especially the index (trigger finger) was way too long. I had people who wore much bigger gloves than me try them on and they fit too tight obviously for the hand but the fingers were still too long. I tried to contact camelbak via email and haven't received any advice about the fit. I have to take the gloves off to do anything other than just walking around with them because of the fingers making it hard to feel things to get out of my pocket like a pen and such. These gloves protect your hands a little from the cold but after about an hour walking around for events my hands are cold instantly still in 30 degrees.I was excited about the gloves due to great reviews but now feel I am stuck with them because I have worn them a few times just to keep my hand s little warm.If it came down to it and I needed to use my glock I would take my trigger hand glove off and shot. I have practiced with the glove on and I can do it but it is not reliable due to the long fingers.These gloves are pretty thin like I wanted for winter gloves but for me these are just not tactical gloves that I had hoped for.

Excellent gloves!
By Operator
from Iowa
These are the best gloves I have ever had, and after 30 years in the Army, 12 with Special Ops - I have a had a few pairs of gloves. They are the best built, most versatile, multiuse glove you can get for the money. I wear these for everything from hunting to working on vehicles... Highly recommended, buy two pair and they'll lasta lifetime.

Excellent gloves for cold ...
By Rob
from Undisclosed
Excellent gloves for cold environments! Recently used a pair for a New Zealand alpine trip and was impressed. Warm without being bulky and a good snug fit without being restrictive. Brilliant grip from the palm while using tools or trekking poles, plus the ability to operate carabiners and tie knots. A well made and thought out glove!

Submitting your manuscript online
Important Note: If you submit your manuscript online, please do not submit a hard copy to the editorial office or send your manuscripts by e-mail.
- Follow the Intructions to Authors regarding the format of your manuscript and references.
- Prepare your manuscript, including tables, using a word processing program and save it as a .doc, .rtf or .ps file. All files in these formats will be converted to .pdf format upon submission. Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type. Prepare your figures using applications capable of generating high-resolution files (1200 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for colour and half-tone artwork). The printing process requires your figures to be at this resolution if your paper is accepted and printed. For useful information on preparing your figures for publication, go to http://cpc.cadmus.com/da.
- Prepare any other files that are to be submitted for review, including any supplementary material. The permitted formats for these files are the same as for manuscripts and figures. Other file types, such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations may be uploaded and will form part of the single .pdf file that is created for use in the peer review process. It is also possible to upload LaTeX files but these will not be automatically converted to .pdf format (and are therefore discouraged). The journal staff, editors and reviewers will only be able to view these unconverted files if they have the appropriate software, which cannot be guaranteed.
- When naming your files, please use simple filenames and avoid special characters and spaces. If you are a Macintosh user, you must also type the three-letter extension at the end of the file name you choose (e.g. .doc, .rtf, .jpg, .gif, .tif, .ppt, .xls, .pdf, .eps, .mov).
- The online submission software will automatically create a single .pdf file containing your main text and reduced-resolution versions of any figures you have submitted. This document will be used when your manuscript undergoes peer review. Your submitted files will appear in this .pdf sequentially, as specified by you on the submission page, and you will have an opportunity to enter figure captions/legends and to check the .pdf file prior to final submission. Please make sure that you proof the converted pdf file so no material is missing, and there are no conversion errors.
Now that your files are ready, visit the online submission web site.

- From the files you submit to make up your manuscript, the system creates and stores separately two types of documents:
- Files for Review. These will be the files viewable to the editor and reviewers of your manuscript. The system will automatically convert your text documents (any document in .doc, .rtf or .ps format) into .pdf and make that newly converted document accessible for review, leaving the originally uploaded document under the second column, 'Files for Production'. [Note: PDF files are readable with Adobe Acrobat Reader, available for download from the main login screen of ScholarOne Manuscripts, as well as from www.adobe.com.] The system will also convert and save under 'Files for Review' all files with images (figures, charts, graphs, etc.) in.jpg, .gif, .tif and .eps format, converting them into smaller .jpg images, leaving the original files under 'Files for Production'. The smaller versions of your image will include in the filename '_sm.jpg'. The system will also save under 'Files for Review' any documents which are uploaded in formats that it cannot convert.
- Files for Production. These are all the original word-processor files and figures you uploaded. Not listed here will be those files you designated for review but submitted in a format that cannot be converted by the system.

- After the manuscript has been submitted you will receive an email confirmation stating that your manuscript was successfully submitted. This email will also give the assigned manuscript number, which is used in all correspondence. If you do not receive this email, your manuscript will not have been successfully submitted to the journal and the paper cannot progress to peer review.

- If you return to your 'Author Centre' you will notice that your newly submitted manuscript can be found in the 'Submitted Manuscripts' area. Among the information listed there, the 'Processing Status' section provides information on the status of your manuscript as it moves through the review process.
- Logon to the online submission web site as before and, in the 'Author Center', click on 'Manuscripts with Decisions'. You will then see the title of any manuscripts you submitted that have decisions. If the decision requires submission of a revised paper, click on "create a revision." You will reach the revision submission procedure.
- First, you will be asked to respond to the decision letter for the original submission. Responses to the referees should be pasted into the box provided, or uploaded as supplementary files, but not included in the Cover Letter because referees cannot see this. The next steps will be the same as the original submission procedure. When you reach the File Upload stage, you will see that the files from the original submission will already be uploaded for you. Please delete any files that you revised, and upload the new files.
- If you need to logout during the submission procedure and need to continue the process, go to the 'Author Center' and click on 'Revised Manuscripts in Draft.' Click on the blue 'Continue Submission' button, and you may resume submission.

Nonna Luna's Rice
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, divided, at room temperature
- 2 cups parboiled long-grain rice, such as Uncle Ben's
- 3 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 pounds small shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 cup lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 cup whipping cream
- Freshly ground black pepper
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
In a medium nonstick saucepan, heat 1/2 of the butter over medium-low heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken stock and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer covered for 20 to 25 minutes until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and rest covered for 5 minutes.
In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic. Add the shrimp, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Stir in the cream and heat through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Using a fork, fluff the rice and arrange on a platter. Spoon the shrimp cream sauce over the rice and serve.

I just put in an order for some Margaret's Hope White Pearls (http://www.thunderbolttea.com/pages/special_teas_darjeeling_tea_gardens.html) from Thunderbolt Tea. I'm a huge fan of Darjeelings, and I just got my first gaiwan, so this seemed like a perfect match.
Anyway, I'm curious about a couple of things. Does anybody have experience with either this tea or this vendor? This is my first time with both, so I wanted to hear some others' thoughts. Thanks!

Now through the 27th Amazon.com is offering the first 3 seasons of Mad Men on Blu Ray for $9.99 apiece. You usually can't find that price for the DVD version. Regular retail price is listed as $50. If you're like me and didn't get into Mad Men when it first came out and wanted to get caught up quicker than the 1 DVD at a time Netflix way, you can not miss this deal. Even if you've already seen every episode and love it, order them now, this is one of the best Black Friday deals I've ever seen and you don't even have to leave the house, let alone wait in line.
Another fantastic deal is all 3 Lord of the Rings movies on Blu Ray for the astounding price of $7.99 apiece. Just the regular movies, not extended editions, but you can't really complain for that price. Any or all of them would make great gifts but you gotta order before, I believe, the 27th is over. I'd do it ASAP just to make sure you get the deal.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $6.04 (30% off)
Posted by 4974378732333400441 on Jun 27, 2014
I would honestly give this 0 stars if I could. I hate how misleading the advertising it but I guess it's my fault that I thought I was getting quality matcha for a fraction of the price I normally do. This is definatly not ceremonial grade matcha. It tastes horrible and disgusting, not to mention it is only 20% matcha. Don't waste your money.
Dull army color = BAD
Posted by PhyllisLee on Nov 07, 2013
Good quality matcha tea should be bright electric green in color and NOT other shades of green. The tub I received is a dull army green color with acidic aftertaste. Have written in, hope I get a refund for this.
Not pure, it's 80% rice solids!
Posted by 4820317958418509589 on Apr 17, 2015
On opening this I was surprised to see it was more greeny brown that rich green. If you read very closely you'll see that a 5g serving only contains 1g ( 1000mg ) of Matcha Green Tea. The other ingredient listed is brown rice powder. This is very impure. I don't know how they can say it is Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Drink. It is mostly rice. I suspect the 5 star reviews are paid reviews, or silly people who have never had %100 Matcha Green Tea before. Here's a clue - it's Green! I threw this in the bin. Tastes like dirt.
Product OK but totally misleading marketing & packaging
Posted by MattCHK on Aug 02, 2015
Buyer beware. I bought this on the advice of a colleague thinking I was buying high quality green tea. It's actually mostly brown rice, with 20% green tea. The deceptive labelling and marketing leads creates suspicion about the other claims made for the product. This product should be clearly labeled as a "Green Tea Drink" with something like "Contains 20% Green Tea" or "Contains 1gram of Green Tea in each serve" clearly visible. Shame, as if it was properly labeled I'd rate it more highly. It mixes and tastes OK - but can't be trusted because of the label.
Posted by 5561234863228638336 on Dec 22, 2015
It's misleading to call this "ceremonial grade" green tea. The powder is light yellow green in color instead of bright green as it should be. I was surprised to read that in fact, in a 5 gram serving, there is only 1 gram of matcha - the rest is brown rice fillers! The manufacturer should be more upfront about what this powder is. I don't dislike drinking this, but it's definitely not ceremonial matcha. If that's what you're looking for, move on.
Dull color and taste
Posted by 5274405737423883138 on May 31, 2015
When I opened the package I was surprised that the product was a light brown color, in contrast with the vibrant green I have come to expect and enjoy in pure matcha I have purchased. The taste was also surprisingly dull, compared with previous matcha I have enjoyed. I read the fine print, and the product contains brown rice solids--perhaps this explains its dull color and taste? I will use in baking and smoothies, but definitely not high enough quality to drink as tea.
Fine product
Posted by Reviewer3027087 on Feb 28, 2012
I agree with the reviewer from Finland, a serving of 5 gr only contains 1 gr of matcha tea. However, brown rice solids are very healthy! So I don't mind this product being a blend of matcha tea and brown rice solids. I drink this instead of coffee and feel a whole lot better. More sustainable energy, healthier and no more stomach aches. Brown Rice Solids provide you with a sustained supply of energy to help get you through the most physically demanding activity or your most hectic day without experiencing the symptoms of low-blood sugar that can impede your performance or slow you down. Brown Rice Solids are basically new functional protein ingredients that are processed from sprouted brown rice following organic methods. They are a kind of organic rice protein concentrates but unfortunately, most rice protein concentrates currently available have limited solubility and emulsification properties, poor taste and gritty texture, making it an unsuitable choice for beverages. However, Brown Rice Solids are hypoallergenic, have a sweet-bland taste, highly digestible by infants and adults, and rich in all essential and non-essential amino acids. Moreover, organic Brown Rice Solids are not only a quickly oxidized energy source, but also provide the highest level of naturally occurring nutrients. For example, organically produced Brown Rice Solids contains high levels of potassium and magnesium.
Misleading, NOT ceremonial grade!
Posted by 5331978969266682254 on Jul 12, 2015
ONLY 20% Matcha. 80% brown rice. Very weak in terms of flavor.
Poor quality, bad taste
Posted by 5225153097559668929 on Mar 30, 2014
This is not a good quality matcha. Tastes terrible. I've even tried to put it in baking to try to use it up, and it is still the worst matcha I've ever tried. As a last resort I'm going to try adding it to smoothies because I hate to waste it. There are other much better brands here on iHerb that I would recommend before this one.
Posted by 4786205124798351315 on Sep 18, 2014
I have never come across such a brown coloured matcha green tea. It is definitely a cheap product and of poor quality. Wont be buying this again.

Yesterday, you voted overwhelmingly that Tea was more important than your teaware...kind of. You may still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.
TeaDay, Yikes...TeaChat was down for hours last night...I waited and waited and waited. Not even spammers could register. But, I could also not do TeaDay.
Welcome everyone to TeaDay. Share with everyone what is in your cup. Make sure you check out what is in everyone elses cup.

DALLAS (May 28, 2011) – To say Jennifer Bonilla (Reseda, Calif.) will have a busy summer may be an understatement. To say volleyball will be a part of her summer would also be an understatement.
Bonilla has been a part of the USA Volleyball High Performance pipeline since 2004 at the age of 12. Seven years after making her first HP Select team, she continues to enjoy the sport and will don the USA uniform in two separate competitions starting with the USA Volleyball Open National Championships that had its first serve on May 28 and runs through June 4 at the Dallas Convention Center.
Bonilla, a libero who recently finished her freshman academic year at the University of Illinois, is one of 36 players in this year's U.S. Women's National A2 Program. The program consisted of five days of training at University of Texas-Dallas in preparation for the Open Division bracket of the USAV Open National Championships. She has been placed on the USA Blue roster for the event that has 534 overall teams competing for 26 total titles.
"It has been a lot of fun," Bonilla said of the five days of training. "I have had the chance to meet a lot of new people."
However, the fun and games were mixed in with training and repetitions in preparation for the international-style Open Division competition this week.
"At the beginning, the coaches told us that we would be doing a lot of repetitions as part of training," Bonilla said. "Of course, there are always some small things to learn along the way and reinforce."
Even during the week of training in Dallas, Bonilla's calendar of events spoke volumes of the kind of person she is – one of caring and giving. On Friday afternoon, she and her teammates gathered together and visited a local nursing home. The diversion from training provided an uplifting experience for the three dozen players and staff.
"It was really nice to visit the individuals at the nursing home," Bonilla said. "To see them happy with smiles on their faces was great to see. At the same time, it was good to get away from training for a little while and something nice for people."
A day earlier at the USA Volleyball's Boyce Awards and Recognition Banquet held in Dallas as part of its Annual Meetings, Bonilla shared her childhood story of growing up in Los Angeles' inner city and escaping the troubles associated with area gangs. The daughter of a single mother from El Salvador, she attended St. Thomas the Apostle and immediately took a liking to her kindergarten teacher, Gustavo Beltran. Even after moving up the educational later, Bonilla would often go back to see Beltran, who got her started in volleyball at a very young age as he coached the middle school volleyball program at St. Thomas the Apostle.
As the years went by, Beltran developed into the father that she did not have in her life and Bonilla essentially became part of his family that included his wife Virna and son. In many regards, Bonilla's story is similar to the based-on-reality Hollywood motion picture "Blind Side" of a National Football League player, but with a volleyball angle. (For a more detailed story on Bonilla's childhood, click here.)
During the Boyce Banquet, Bonilla felt at home with the family atmosphere displayed among the 170 attendees.
"The whole volleyball community is unique and special," Bonilla said. "It was amazing to see the friendships and relationships of all the coaches and volleyball leaders in attendance."
While this may be her first USA Volleyball Open National Championships, she does not want it to be her last one.
"I want to continue to be part of (the U.S. Women's National A2 program) through my senior year," said Bonilla of wanting to be part of the program for as long as she is eligible. "You get to meet so many nice people and the whole experience of the Championships is amazing."
After the USA Volleyball Open National Championships and the U.S. Women's National A2 Program, Bonilla will get to have an added experience within the HP pipeline. She will be on the U.S. roster for the 2011 FIVB Women's Junior World Championship that takes place July 21-30 in Peru. Two years ago, Bonilla hit the major international stage at the 2009 FIVB Girls' Youth World Championship in Thailand.
In between training and competitions with the USA Volleyball High Performance pipeline, Bonilla have three other primary focuses back home in Reseda – summer school, working summer camps and more volleyball. She departed the University of Illinois on May 13 after completing her freshman academic year, and immediately started summer school in the morning and giving back to her former St. Thomas the Apostle school by working afternoon summer camps with the young children.
"All I am doing this summer is volleyball, work and training," Bonilla said. "Along the way, I will get some reps with my dad. I am excited for this summer. I am getting to do all the things I love."

I'm starting up a new project, which from the title is rather self describing. Firefox's purpose is to let you access the Web, but it unfortunately often blocks users from accessing the Web until they have responded to some form of question. This is particularly ironic given the massive amounts of time and developer resources that we've been pouring into improving our start up time. What's the point of loading 300ms faster if the user is about to spend 7000ms on reading, 2000ms on thought, and 4000ms on interaction?
In many cases start up dialogs represent some form of failing, ranging from a failing of engineering (unable to find or implement a cleaner solution), a failing of design (unable to determine the best approach) or a failing of security (delegating a decision so that we can blame the victim). In all of these cases the dialog itself is simply the manifestation of a larger problem that we need to attack. So perhaps "eradicating start up dialogs" is an overly negative title, this is really more about "solving a range of complex problems, but entirely behind the scenes."
To help up us prioritize and also make sure we have everything covered, I have two questions:
1) What do you think is the most annoying start up dialog
2) What do you think is the most obscure start up dialog that hasn't been mentioned yet in the comments above the comment you are about to write :)

Turning Kids Into Killers
Last Friday, an 11-year-old Wampum, Pennsylvania, boy allegedly picked up his youth-model 20-gauge shotgun and shot his father's pregnant girlfriend as she slept. The boy, Jordan Brown, had received the gun as a Christmas gift from his father, who was reportedly teaching the child to hunt in the woods surrounding their rural home.
This wouldn't be the first time that a kid who had been schooled in the ways of snuffing out wildlife turned his gun on another human being—and it almost certainly won't be the last. Remember 13-year-old Mitchell Johnson and 11-year-old Andrew Golden of Jonesboro, Arkansas? In 1998, they took the hunting guns belonging to Andrew's grandfather—who had taught Andrew to hunt—and used them to ambush their fellow students, killing four girls and one teacher. In her book, Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings, Katherine Newman writes that the young killers "dressed in camouflage clothing, exactly as Andrew did when he went hunting. … From across the field, their classmates and teachers seemed less like the human beings they went to school with than like quarry to be killed."
In 2006, the Pennsylvania Game Commission announced the creation of the Mentored Youth Hunting Program, "to encourage more young people to take up hunting to increase hunter numbers." In the wake of last week's tragic shooting, we've written to the governor of Pennsylvania, urging him to ban all hunting by children under the age of 18. You can read our letter here.
Not everyone who stalks and kills animals will stalk and kill a human. But every time a person picks up a gun, aims it at another living being, and fires, it must deaden a piece of his or her heart. Children have a natural affinity for animals, yet we hand them guns and teach them to be killers. Can we be surprised, then, when these children direct that violence at others?

We teach our children to fish and hunt not to learn how to kill but to learn how to live. We have a great respect for mother nature and everything she has to offer, but we must never lose the most basic skills to survive.I hope the day never comes when trains stop running and starbucks stops brewing and you have to fend for yourself, half of you will die without your ipads. This is why only 20% of do the heavy lifting and fight the wars. So stay on west coast and stay on the east coast and we take care of things in America.
Umm i hate to say these but that is incredibly wrong? I've used guns my whole life, and it hasn't destroyed my heart? Never in my life has it gone through my mind to shoot someone. Just because you hunt doesn't mean you are mentally unstable. The two guys from columbine were not hunters, they were just mentally unstable
@John, the reason people hunt is (obviously) that we are Omnivorous, and naturally we require meat and fruit alike, although full plant diets have been created, we are still omnivores.
You have one case that you have found where a kid killed somebody was a hunterwhat about all the school shootings that happened?
I COMPLETLY DISAGREE WITH PEOPLE WHO SAY HUNTERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF SOCIETY! I have hunted squirrels doves rabbits and quail since I was 10. I am a certified vet and have always been at the top of my class. Anyway hunters only shoot at the animals they are 100 sure they can kill in 1 shot. And we only kill the ones we will eat.
Hello all in an attempt to be wellmannered and pleasant in this somewhat… Spirited debate I'd like to give you some personal experience with hunting. Yes I am a bowhunter. So that removes any question of gun rights and gun violence. Secondly I am not an American. I am an Australian and thus i can truthfully and genuinely claim that the hunting I and my friends do is environmental. As most of the game animals hunted are feral animals Deer rabbits foxes pigs etc this contributes in efforts to control and reduce numbers of introduced species. Now onto the main point which is children going hunting. For many a year it's been a rural Australian for children to go spotlighting rabbits with Dad and a .22. There is nothing particularly insidious or evil about this. More often then not it's because there is a rabbit infestation and a bullet is the cheapest and most human way to fix this. By humane I mean that it is an instant death. Hunting is just something done out of necessity. And there is an enjoyment factor to it. Humans are designed to hunt plain and simple. If rabbit hunting turns kids into murderers and going deer hunting with Grandpa is evil I'm yet too see any evidence towards it. Thank you for listening.
well spoken gary and keith. i couldn't agree more. I am from northern wisconsin where deer hunting is a way of life. opening day of hunting season is on par with christmas and thanksgiving. It is a way for families to bond. It is a way to provide delicious healthy organic free range meat to ourselves and communityfmany hunters donate venison to needy families what these PETA ppl forget to mention is how many motorists are injured and killed each year from collisions with deer. Should i start a movement against deer just because they destroyed my 94′ ranger. Which they did!! The midwest is overpopulated with deer who are also currently spreading disease such as lyme. Hunting keeps the population stable. And having this whole argument based around guns ignores the fact that many hunters prefer the old fashioned method of huntingBOW AND ARROW If you don't like hunting thats fine and dandy but don't try to destroy what we hold so dear… no pun intended
"…justtrying to clarify if you meant the "Bubba Factor" was a way of calling hunters hill billiesrednecks hicks etc. " i find it more than a little strange that you are attempting to "fill in the blanks" for someone whom claims to be highly educated in fact claiming to be college eduated. Go figure. Bubba Factor is a Bubba Factor does. "they couldn't figure out what the "Bubba Factor" meant is because they never heard of it before." Google it it ain't hard to find. "The majority of people don't hunt because are heartless killers they hunt for the excitement and challenge." Wrong. First a very small select population hunts in the first place whether for sustinence or sport. This is one example of the mass media overplaying their hand ignoring the hard cold facts creating myth and fomenting fractured naive macho stereotypes to worship and adore. Just plain silly. And second we have all seen or heard the usual gutless selfish and remote justifications for hunting they are all equally implausible. and the majority of people hunt because they are lazy and indifferent and typically unenlightened. They aren't doing you or me any favors also i thinks it's a grand stretch that you should be pretending motivations and justifications for hunters and other abusers of mother nature.
Vegancoin I think the question was trying to clarify if you meant the "Bubba Factor" was a way of calling hunters hill billiesrednecks hicks etc. I would venture a guess to the reason they couldn't figure out what the "Bubba Factor" meant is because they never heard of it before. Its a made up word from a person who neither takes the time nor the opportunity to understand that way of life nor would they want to given the chance. I don't care what you say hunting is an innate instinct engrained in all humans. Some choose and have the opportunity to express those instincts some people do not. The majority of people don't hunt because are heartless killers they hunt for the excitement and challenge. Killing the animal is just part of the process and it serves a purpose of feeding the hunter and his family for an extended period of time. You don't understand this because you won't try. If you talked to a hunter you would call them names and attack them instead of talking to them and see their perspective.
"Can you please define the "Bubba Factor"… unable to comprehend what exactly the Bubba Factor is?" All the swagger and sway of a foolproof condescending speciesist claims to be college educated yet can't figure out what The Bubba Factor is. Amazing. and commonsense will tell you that anytime you have killed something you have committed murder. i am not surprised that you found it necessary to hide behind biblical fairy tales and defective warped interpretations to defend your remote and foolish viewpoints.
I totally agree! Teaching children these things is what ruins there life! And as a person who cares a hell of a lot for animals I believe that no child should be taught to hunt and kill ANY living thing whether it be an animal or a human. I am only 14 and do not know all the facts about all of these type of things but I completely disagree with hunting! I believe we should all step in and make a change that counts!!!
About what Gary said The only reason forests would be degraded if whitetail deer were not hunted none of that would be a problem if hunters Sarah Palin and co. hadn't killed off all the animals at the top of the food chain like wolves bears and panthers. When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone the entire ecosystem went back into balance. Now Palin still kills wolves and bears either by her own laws or illegally.
I agree with Elizabeth that maturity is a big part of the equation. I feel that maturity is amongst the highest of virtues as well as compassion and humbleness. I think that these virtues typically are not exclusive from each other nor are they a destination but a constant journey or practice that is tested changed and evolved every day through our choices and actions. This maturity cannot be limited to one lifestyle choice. Again Elizabeths argument did make a lot of sense to me but I cant help but find hypocrisy in these types of responses again I mean no disrespect I know that I too am often hypocritical but I still like and respect me . Try this as an example. Reread her statement but replace HUNT and GUN with the following sets of words Have Sex Condom Charge Credit Card Religion Bible Torah Koran Drive Car Text CellphoneComputer Smoke Joint and my favorite Eat Candy Candy Bar! As far as giving children guns I have to say that someone who would hand an 11 year old a gun has to be stupid. Anyone who is around children would most likely agree that anyone under the age of 18 and sometimes older is not the most mature person in the world. People should be mature before they make a decision about whether or not they are going to hunt. When they are older and have graduated from college if they want to hunt that's their problem. However it's very likely you will find that waiting until they are in or have graduated college will cause many people to understand that hunting is wrong. Also by teaching a child to hunt before they have matured you have taken their personal choice out of the equation. Teaching a child to hunt can indoctrinate them to believe that hunting is OK whereas if they were given the choice when they have been raised in a neutral environment they may decide that they think hunting is wrong. Bottom line is children are too immature and young to make decisions about hunting. You can do this with every possible part of life. There is a time and place. Its not the same for everybody. Moderation and education are great tools in all aspects of teaching our children and ourselves. For me hunting is a part of life. Its as much a part of me as my finances my sexuality my religion my personality my diet and an infinite list of other traits that make me who I am. And when the time comes for me to have children it would be impossible to keep any of these parts of my life away from them. Does this mean that Im going to give my children a gun and make them kill something? Of course not. No more than Id give them a football and make them be a quarterback I didn't play but it sounds more exciting than running Cross Country or hand them a bible and force them to know GOD. On the other side I will not hide the fact that the venison in our spaghetti can from my hunting or the fact that sugar or smoking can be bad for you or that Jesus Christ is my Savior I hope no one cringed at the last one. We teach our children and our communities primarily by example. I live my life the best way I know how. And that way is constantly shifting sometimes only slightly sometimes dramatically. I dont expect my everyone to be like me thats insane. I like wolves but I dont expect the eagle or maple tree to become a wolf. Id sure like to see more wolves though and I still like them more than other creatures. Sorry for being long winded but I cannot look at any situation especially if it involves a belief system or set of beliefs without comparing it to as many others as I can. We need to not only be mature and teach our children what we believe and why but we need to teach them how to learn and make informed decisions FYI I think two people can have the same information and rightfully come to different conclusions. So I will teach my children about hunting yes. But I also hope to teach them to learn and make their own decisions about whether or not they will hunt for themselves.
Fitz Thanks for the thoughtful post I agree very much that a sensible discussion of opposing viewpoints is much more productive than arguing and namecalling. Though I am opposed to killing animals for any reason excepting humane euthanasia when the animal is suffering and I hate guns I do tend to have more respect for hunters who strive to make a clean and painless kill than people who don't have the stones and pay someone else to do the killing for them. Though it is still harmful for the animals who are hunted and for the families they leave behind they at least have a better life and death than animals who are raised on factory farms and die in slaughterhouses. Dr. Cochran It's good to see you here again!
I need to proofread a little better…I meant to say we are clearly less adapted to eat animal based products than plant based.
Personally I believe that hunting is wrong. I also think that making an assumption about all hunters based on no actual scientific data is wrong. As far as giving children guns I have to say that someone who would hand an 11 year old a gun has to be stupid. Anyone who is around children would most likely agree that anyone under the age of 18 and sometimes older is not the most mature person in the world. People should be mature before they make a decision about whether or not they are going to hunt. When they are older and have graduated from college if they want to hunt that's their problem. However it's very likely you will find that waiting until they are in or have graduated college will cause many people to understand that hunting is wrong. Also by teaching a child to hunt before they have matured you have taken their personal choice out of the equation.

Bottom line is children are too immature and young to make decisions about hunting.

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California has halted the patent infringement case filed by Rambus against Micron Technology. The stay order, issued by the Honorable Ronald M. Whyte, comes after an earlier decision by the U.S. District Court of Delaware that Rambus' patents in that case were unenforceable against Micron.
"We are pleased that Judge Whyte recognized that the Delaware Court's unenforceability ruling impacts the patents asserted by Rambus in the California matter, and that he stayed Rambus' patent case against Micron. We believe that Judge Robinson's thorough decision will be upheld on appeal," said Rod Lewis, Micron's vice president of legal affairs and general counsel.
Judge Whyte likewise stayed proceedings in parallel patent infringement cases filed by Rambus against Samsung Electronics, Nanya Technology Corp. and Hynix Semiconductor. Therefore, Rambus can still demand licensing fees from the aforementioned companies.
On January 9, the Honorable Sue L. Robinson of the U.S. District Court of Delaware held that because Rambus' "spoliation conduct was extensive, including within its scope the destruction of innumerable documents relating to all aspects of Rambus' business", the only appropriate sanction for the conduct was "to declare the patents in suit unenforceable against Micron".
In the opinion issued today, Judge Whyte acknowledged the impact of the Delaware Court's decision and declared that the cases should be stayed indefinitely, pending appeals of the Delaware spoliation and unenforceability decision and a spoliation decision by Judge Whyte in an earlier case involving Rambus and Hynix.
"While we are disappointed with the stay of the coordinated cases, it is our expectation that the conflicting opinions of the district courts regarding document spoliation will go up together on appeal. We believe that our view will be vindicated," said Tom Lavelle, senior vice president and general counsel at Rambus.

BEIJING (AP) Japan's Miyuki Maeda and Satoko Suetsuna upset defending Olympic champions Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen of China on Monday to advance to the women's doubles semifinals in Olympic badminton.
Maeda and Suetsuna, who are unseeded, took advantage of unforced errors by the top-seeded Chinese duo en route to an 8-21, 23-21, 21-14 win at Beijing University of Technology Gymnasium.
After they won, both Maeda and Suetsuna bowed deeply in the center of the court.
"This is the biggest win of our lives," Suetsuna said. "They are the Olympic champions so even when we had match point we couldn't take anything for granted."
It was the first major setback of the tournament for the host nation which is looking to dominate on home soil after winning three of five gold medals in Athens.
"We couldn't focus in the third set," said Yang. "We just made too many unforced errors."
Japan's Kumiko Ogura and Reiko Shiota, scheduled to play later Monday, are sixth in the world rankings and hugely popular in Japan. Few had expected such a strong showing from Maeda and Suetsuna, who are eighth in the rankings.
Earlier, Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei defeated Singapore's Ronald Susilo in the second round of men's singles.
Second-seeded Lee, who is bidding for Malaysia's first Olympic gold medal, downed Susilo 21-13, 21-14.
"I was nervous at first but got more confidence as the game went on," said Lee, a favorite to win the tournament. "There is a lot of pressure on me here to get a medal."
Susilo upset Lin in the first round four years ago in Athens but was no match for Lee's powerful smashes on Monday.
Top-seeded Lin Dan of China will play his first match later Monday, taking on unseeded Ng Wei of Hong Kong.
South Korea's Lee Hyun-il defeated fifth-seeded Kenneth Jonassen 15-21, 21-14, 21-19 while third-seeded Bao Chunlai of China defeated Guatemala's Kevin Gordon 21-17, 21-16.
Indonesia's Sony Dwi Kuncoro, who is seeded sixth, defeated Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand 21-16, 21-14.
In women's singles, Indonesia's unseeded Kristen Maria Yulianti upset sixth-seeded Tine Rasmussen of Denmark 18-21, 21-19, 21-14 to advance to the quarterfinals.
"I was a little nervous but it's the Olympics and everyone has to deal with that," said Rasmussen. "I didn't play my best today and she took advantage."
Defending Olympic champion and second-seeded Zhang Ning of China also advanced with a 21-11, 21-12 win over South Korea's Jun Jae-youn. Fifth-seeded Pi Hongyan of France got past Japan's Eriko Hirose 21-12, 16-21, 21-6.

Beatles For Sale
Original Studio Album Remasters Stereo Vinyl Box Set
The Holy Vinyl Grail, Part 1 officially arrived in stores November 13. I was blessed to get the Beatles' original studio album remasters stereo vinyl box delivered to me a full month early, and I still feel that I haven't spent enough time with the 14 albums contained therein. (To paraphrase a song title, I'm no longer sleeping.) There is so much to love within and without this full-on 180-gram cavalcade. A deeper dive is forthcoming once the mono box set is in hand in early 2013, but I did zero in on a few touchstones. Paul McCartney's loping bass line that fuels "Tax Man," the opening track on Revolver: Check. The creaky chair heard at the apex of Sgt. Pepper's "A Day in the Life": Check. Ringo Starr's squeaky drum pedal on, well, too many songs to mention: Check. I'll be grilling mastering engineer Sean Magee in the near future - for one thing, it is said that he used the original 24-bit remasters rather than the 16-bit versions that were required for CD production. In the meantime, four words: Get. This. Box. Now.

Topic: Definition of Ruby Symbols
I'm wondering if this is a decent definition of what symbols are:
"A symbol type--symbols are effectively pointers to strings stored in a hash table. So you can test equality by comparing a pointer, instead of comparing each character."
I've been looking for something that explains the "implementation" of symbols, but usually get "read the C source code" (which I'm about to do...) or "it doesn't really matter how their implemented".
Now, the definition above seems pretty concise and definitive. I think it's interesting that I found it in a discussion about the nine principles of LISP: http://www.paulgraham.com/icad.html
Also from Ruby for Rails there is a mention that symbols are strings without the overhead (which makes sense since strings are classes with all those methods...) Of course they're immutable and always refer to the same thing.
There's also the point that they are used internally when you assign a variable.
Anyone else care to chime in on the specifics of symbol implementation--anyone read the C code?

Slogging through all of the new fall TV series can leave a viewer feeling hopeful one minute . . . and disgusted with the entire medium the next. Such is the world of entertainment.
Here are five shows that appear promising:
"The Blacklist" (NBC, Sept. 23) — James Spader. That's enough, really, but if you need more: He's a fugitive — one of the FBI's most wanted — who inexplicably turns himself in and offers to help the agency catch the bad guys he used to help. Of course it's not that straightforward, and the mind games look popcorn-worthy.
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" (Fox, Sept. 17) — The golden retriever goofiness of Andy Samberg and the dramatic presence of Andre Braugher in a cop comedy. OK. Worth checking out a few episodes, at least.
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." (ABC, premieres Sept. 24) — It's got action, drama, humor and Joss Whedon's name on it. Go ahead and plan for Season 2. In the meantime, enjoy Clark Gregg's not-dead Agent Coulson and what looks like a well-chosen, if not big-name, cast. My money is on Fitz and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge and Ian De Caestecker) becoming immediate favorites.
"The Michael J. Fox Show" (NBC, Sept. 26) — By far the funniest new-show clip I saw — which means nothing, but with Fox (and Betsy Brandt from "Breaking Bad" as his wife), the comedic timing is going to be golden. And, to put it simply, Fox doesn't waste his time with junk projects.
"Sleepy Hollow" (Fox, Sept. 16) — I'll take any opportunity to promote the name Ichabod; it's that cool. But a show from the guys who produced "Fringe" that brings Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and the Headless Horseman into the 21st century? I'm in.
What should you avoid? A lot, probably. Many trailers for new shows generated a big "eh" on my end. (But so did the first "Modern Family" teaser. You never know.)
There are numerous possibilities, but these are my nominees for each network's first cancellation:
"Back in the Game" (ABC, Sept. 25) — James Caan isn't enough to save what looks like a mundane comedy . . . but it's on with "The Middle" and "Modern Family," which might earn it extra episodes.
"The Crazy Ones" (CBS, Sept. 26) — It's got Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar and was created by David E. Kelly. Why does it look so bad?
"Dads" (Fox, Sept. 17) — This may survive longer than it should because it was created by one of the network's favorite sons, Seth MacFarlane. That doesn't mean it deserves such grace. Early scenes are maddeningly unfunny.
"Dracula" (NBC, Oct. 25) — Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays the count, who arrives in Victorian London looking for all kinds of revenge. Lots of money went into sets and special effects, apparently at the expense of smaller details such as the script. And vampires are so 2011.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionBerthella plumula appears transparent and fragile with an oval, convex body, up to 6 cm in length. The shell is up to 3 cm long but internal, covered by the mantle which overlaps the shell edges. The mantle itself is smooth, and pale yellow to orange in colour, often having net-like markings down the middle. The edge of the mantle may actually be raised on the right side where an elongated gill is situated, for respiration. Its head has a noticeably flat oral veil with enrolled rhinophores (sensory processes). A conspicuous gland (the metapodal gland) develops at the posterior end of the body at a pre-sexual stage when the species is approximately 1.75-3 cm in length. When in danger acid glands in the skin secrete sulphuric acid for protection.This is a slow moving opisthobranch and a specialised predator; feeding on compound ascidians. Breeding occurs in spring. Spiralled egg ribbons are attached to rocks, with the larva being planktonic.

In short: One day challenge - good atmosphere, plenty of planning needed. Date of review: November 7, 2013
In short: FunIn full: A good race with some challenges for everyone. Some queuing at obstacles but that allowed for some good chats with fellow competitors. Good organiser, great atmosphere. Book an early race if you plan on racing around though to beat the busy spots.Date of review: November 16, 2012
In short: One of my FavouritesIn full: I was the unlucky guy in the first wave with the broken Fib and Tib. 2nd year doing the run and was pushing a great time this year. I unfortunately slipped on the little hills at Holme Pierrpont. Ironic having done the course before and finished the Tough Guy easily this year too.I like the race, it breaks up what can be a, dare I say, another boring flat 10K.The organisation was good again. I have even been contacted by the organisers while in hospital to check how I am doing etc.I will be back again next year once I can walk/run again and I will get a better time that my first year!Date of review: October 26, 2009
In short: Great race, made a change from the mundane usual 10K although I think this was more 11 1/22. Definate do again! Fun and recommendedd, just need a bit more space on the obstaclesDate of review: October 18, 2008
In short: I competed the Hoofers Relay SectionIn full: I competed in the Hoofers Relay race of the Marathon.The information and details supplied were very good with photos of the check points. Although one team member missed the relay point at 11 miles as the flag was blowing backwards so delayed us by 10 mins.I ran the 6.1 miles around holme pierpont and found encouragement was good and expected this to be the hardest part of the course due to the straight long lake. Wasnt bad and I beat my expected time.I trained to do 5 miles in 50 mins and did 6.1 in 48 mins. Got to be happy :-)Date of review: September 16, 2008
In short: Thank you for a well organised race that suits allIn full: I ran this race today for the first time. I should say I am an experienced runner having done 10 full marathons plus including the south downs way in 96'. But I have not ran for 10 years and wanted something open to everyone to get outside and to get off my treadmill (bought 6 weeks ago) and back into real running. This was well orginised, easy to find and friendly. There where runners of all abilities and suited me brilliantly. I managed a slow 30 mins (which I am happy with given my current fitness) but if I'd been a 40 min runner I would have found good support too. Fast runners got praise just the same.Friendly race and actually is suitable for all, I was sceptical and was worried about the pace but overall a nice break back into running.Thanks.(next time I'll be at the front lol)NickCan I get my fitness back to 10 years ago:-London Marathon 96 & 98 (3.58)South Downs Way trial 96 (80 mile)(21 hours)Sheffield Marathon Twice 96 & 97 (1.37)Sleaford Half (1.32)Woodhall Spa Twice (1.36)Newark 3 times 94 +(1.32)Three miles felt hard today but well worth it,Thank you Date of review: August 22, 2008

Time Travelling Feature Discovered In Real ID
According to this screenshot that my brother sent me, I haven't logged into World of Warcraft for 41 years. Rather impressive consider neither I nor WoW were around in the 60s.
Dear Blizzard, to discover the perpetrator of this bug simply look for the coder who recently received the entire series of Quantum Leap on DVD and is currently reading any H.G. Wells novel.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Big City Big Race In full: Bristol is not a city that I'm over familiar with and it is clearly bigger than I realised. It also clearly wants people like me to think of it as bigger than I did, and this race is an excellent example of it raising its profile with an ambition.The crowds were great - a little sparse away from the main part of the city as one would expect, but very vocal where they were.The drinks volunteers were great - huge thanks for slick organisation and enthusiasm there.The route is nice - a little twsity and turny - more to showcase the city and creat spectator friendly viewing perhaps than for the sake of the runners in the second half. I enjoyed it never the less and it added to the atmosphere if not the quickness towards the end.No problem with arrival of the race pack for me, although the signage could have been a little clearer on race day.Overall a good day out, although I may choose a slightly cheaper "runners race" next year over the extra cost associated with what afterall was a big event, not just a running race.Date of review: September 14, 2008
In short: Fast & FlatIn full: Does what it says on the tin. Nice 10 m ile race. Well organised on a fast flat course in the shadow of a nuclear power station!Date of review: August 31, 2008
In short: My local race, so maybe I'm biased...In full: ...but then again, maybe that makes me more critical? Not the flatest of races, and the safety barriers can slow you down. Multiple laps makes for excellent spectating and support though, and good racing. Superb event extras with stands, police & fire engines & bouncy slide all there for the kids!Date of review: June 2, 2008
In short: Grey & cold, but quickIn full: Nearly didn't get out of bed for this, feeling rough with the remains of a cold. Made the trip to be met by wind, rain and cold. Started the race and it was al forgotten as the excelent organisation, friendly marshalls, and course which lends itself to fast times all played their part.51 seconds faster than last year even feeling bad, so a PB to take home along with a new sports bag.Date of review: February 3, 2008
In short: Don't mention the hills!In full: Scenic race in parts, with lovely views from the top of the hills - ok, so you have to go up them first, but hey, it all adds to the challenge.Not a PB course, unless its your first one, but a good race well organised over a good route excellently marshalled, with a great atmosphere.Date of review: October 26, 2007
In short: Flat & fast... ...mostlyIn full: Great race well organised once the parking had been sorted - would have been panicking if I hadn't got a codriver to park the car for me.Flat course, not super scenic, but its a city race so what do you expect - and actually for a city race I thought it was pretty good.I say flat, but that last mile was a sting in the tale, and this combined with the twists and turns , and those cobbles ( nobody mentioned the cobbles before hand!!) makes it imperative that you have something left for the end.Date of review: October 14, 2007
In short: Glorious sunshine and wondeful views...In full: ...the day before. Seriously, if everyone on race day could have seen what I saw when I went for a run up to the roundabout the day before they would have been gobsmacked.As it was , the race day weather just added to the character of a sporting test of a run, which everyone seemed to enjoy. Such a shame we all dashed off to our cars in the field and then onwards to hot showers, but not even the organiser's unbounded enthusiasm could hold back the rain.A huge thank you to the marshals - I think I said as much to all, (although it nay have just been a grunt towards the end!)Perfect timing with the Hay festival - never been to that before either, so had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend (until I had to pack the tent away of course, but thats another story...)Date of review: May 27, 2007
In short: April showers In MayIn full: If only FLM had had this weather (at least up until shortly after I finished, at which point it started to really rain properly!) Certianly can't blame the heat for a time a little slower than I had hoped for, so it migth be the fact that the route is not as flat as its made out to be, or the fact that I'm just tired after a long week!Parking was a nightmare - but again my own late arrival didsn't help that.Great atmosphere at the start, and good to catch up with nervous pre-race chat.Friendly marshals and water station volunteers (thank you again for your efforts) made for a good atmosp[here during the race. Traffic control in the latter stages through the town was poor though - I was pretty much on my own, so I wonder waht it was like when the large numbers started to come through?Goody bag had plenty to drink in it, and just when I thought medals were going out of fashion at races (I've not long started back again) a nice shiney gong has made it home for the kids to wear around the house!Will probably do the race again - and all in all, after a visit to Startford to see the triathletes in action in the torrential rain, I'm glad I did the run rather than the swim/bike/run option today!Date of review: May 13, 2007
In short: Great Day Out For All The Family - And Sooooo Many Prizes!!In full: Set up for a friendly family day out running and playing, by a friendly family centred organising team. Bargain BBQ. Bouncy castle and stalls for the kids, plus fun runs of different distances on the field for children too - with certificates for all of them and medals for winners. Main even extremely well organised and marshalled. Trophies for just about every age group and alcoholic prozes too (and not just the raffle!)New team trophies for this year.All round great day out :-)Date of review: May 6, 2007
In short: Excellent "Big Race" feel in town - mixed with quiet country lances - and housing estates.In full: The whole town centre atmosphere was excellent- the organisers had clearly put a lot of effort in to the Market Square start /finish area.Water stations very well staffed, and marshals were excellent and encouraging.Course itself was a little more "sporting" than I previoulsy thought, and in my count back of the last mile I think there must have been 18 twists and turns, and 6 curbs - not good for trying to kick to the finish if you have dodgy knees or ankles.Scenery, whilst not stunning, was nice in places.Well organised at the finish too - no sooner had I crossed the line than I had a water, a banana, and an appropriately sized t-shirt in my hands!Date of review: March 25, 2007

Now the issue of the Budgit...In one sence Labour have a good point. The Government made a bad budgit, coz the chancellors a fool, and they keep reversing their decisions....David Cameron is very poor at admitting this
BUT what does piss me off about the Left wing is...that all the U-Terns have been beneficial for the country, and things that Labour have called for...so why they feel the need to call the government stupid for doing so many U-Terns IN THEIR FAVOUR is a cheap shot
Finally, the double dip recession has nothing to do with the austerity cuts as Labour try to insist...the truth of the matter is obvious...the double dip recession is all about the problems of Europe. We arent taking on water due to holes in our hulls, we are taking on water due to waves from the continents bad finances....But Labour cant admit that...because they are Pro-Europe...but if I was Cameron....that would have been my point!
..one final thing...If only Mr Cameron would have the balls to say to America, what he did to Europe about the Financial Bailouts, concerning the Extradition Pacts we have left over from the Bush Administration. I'm sorry, but it IS that simple. Westminster needs to simply say NO to Washington when they ask for our citizens on riddiculous grounds, but fail to send their people to informal, non-judicial friendly fire accidents....I know he bought it up with Barack Obama at their last meeting...but really, we see no evidence that the American Administration intends to play fair...so IMHO its time for Westminster to withdraw from that treaty until such time as the United States sees fit to extend its much cherished "freedom" to those beyond its soverignty.
The British Parliament sat on July 4th to discuss taking back what belongs to England....
I Kid, I Kid although Europe came up again....
I see no evidence that food inflation is falling...Subject specific...the Prime Minister avoids it when he's in the wrong The Banking System needs neither reform, nor a parliamentary enquiry, nor a public enquiry...I'm afraid what it needs is a Criminal Prosecution against the top brass of the major banks. These people have got away with too much for too long...are responsible for the current climate in this country, but protected from it, vastly over paid and under worked.
They need to be taken to a Criminal Crown Court, they need to be charged, they need to be put on trial under Criminal and not Civil Law, and the outcome should be public. They should pay everything back via civil recovery, including the multimillion pound bonus, they should be sacked from their jobs, and they should spend time in prison.
Now they have found the "god partical" I ask the obvious question...what particals make that partical up LOL
I say call a Referendum on Europe...for the simple reason...its not getting any better, and sooner or later something major will have to happen...why not actually let the public decide? particularly as they will back the Government in distancing itself for Europe substantially.
I echo the shock of the person who asked for the Government to promise it would never bail out a bank again. I dont believe in nationalizing banks willynilly...but we all know what would have happened if the US Administration had failed to do it...its a last resort of course...but favourable to complete anarchy surely!

Its always fascinating to know who the Government are in bed with "Google"
"Can I remind the Prime Minister what he said before the Ellection, When he was asked Why he wanted to be Prime Minister. He paused, and with characteristic humility he said "Because I Think I'd be Good at it"
Now, last night they had an historic vote on reform in the house of Lords. Because this Government is a coillition, many Conservatives did not want to vote positive on the reform as it was the main point of the Liberal Democrats...and so they basically rebelled despite the Party Whips telling them what they should vote....The Prime Minister was anoyed by this and after the failed vote he confronted one of the ring leaders and their were...erm...raised voices.
I am VERY GLAD that this reform has been delayed and will have to be ammended before passed. I dont believe in a second house of ellected members...that defeats the point of having a House of Lords whose names are their due to services to the Monarchs at a time prior to proper Government. They should remain if you ask me...infact...I would the vast majority of changes the government have already made forcing life time peers to leave office...its cruel.
"What can be weaker then have 91 people vote AGAINST you in the house of commons" (when they are your own party members!)
BTW...I think cutting the armed forces is revolting....I think they are absolutely wrong to put us back in napoleonic levels, I think they are casting off their responsibilities by expanding the territorial army....its absolutely wrong IMHO...never comprimise on the safety of this country for cost cutting measures...cut somewhere else.
btw...just today it was announced that the security firm employed to cover the olympics cant...so the military will be drafted in to help...thats fine....but check the numbers...next month there will be MORE military peeps doing bag checks in central london, then fighting in the Just War of afghanistan....
Parliament is back from Reccess...though not for long, they will break shortly for their conference season, and ahead of that in this next weeks you can bet the cabinate reshuffle will be the hot topic of conversation.
I am pleased to say I LIKE this reshuffle, EXCEPT for the person taking over the NHS who I feel should have been sacked for his naughtiness as Cultural Secretary,
Basically, the Liberal democrats in the coillition have been shunted, and instead the more Right wing Conservatives have appeared...the stupidly liberal foreign woman who always puts her foot in it has gone...a Euro-Skeptic has been hoisted instead...and finally they have a more conservative person for criminal justice
Who cares about the chancellors position not changing...in this economy noone could do any better...and some could do a lot worse by tying us closer to europe out of fear.
Todays topics include youth unemployment....and of course...PLEBGATE
Plebgate is about a Chief Whip in the Conservative party who is accused of being verbally mean to a police office in downingstreet....The minister in question told the police man that he was a Pleb
Its not funny of course
...Trident Nuclear deterent is here to stay, thank GOD!
Last edited by Tyburn; 10-17-2012 at 08:46 PM.
The topics include the closure of the Levenson Enquiry. Lord Justice Levenson was charged with doing an investigation into the British Press because it came to light that some of the papers were hacking peoples phones and mobiles. He was to look into Press Standards...and of course what sort of constraints should their be on the press...people like me do fear a certain level of political grabbing of press standards going on because of course the one thing the press in england do equisitiley is hold the Government to account...we dont, therefore want the Government to have control over media standards do we
The Opposition then goes on about the level of unemployment and the work schemes in place by the governement. You know...my views are that there are plenty of jobs out there...but people are way to choosy about what they want to do. My own thoughts on the matter would be very, very simple. Bring back National Service...and force people who can not get a job in six months, to go back to the forces in some way, shape or form....believe me, they would soon decide that being a bin man...or doing two part time jobs, rather the one full time was worth it. We work for money, not for pleasure...the sooner that jobless realize that, the better.
Compensation for the flood victims is raised...difficult subject. Most of England is below sea level, and most of the entire middlands are a flood plain for one of our greatest rivers. The last couple of years have seen horrendous water rises, mainly due to precipitation, but its the same rivers that burst their banks over and over, and thus the same villages washed away time and again....its gotten to the point where the inusures for those areas wish to decree flooding as an Act of God, that they dont need to pay out for Now there is the issue of flood defences...I guess the problem their is, they cost money....
A Fascinating Question arrises from the back benches...will the Government move to vote in favour of recognising Palestine as its own state, and give it, without condition, the full United Nations honours? The Prime Minister handled it very well. He said "We can wish for all we want in the United Nations, but" and went on to say that the two sides have to work things out...or not...for this sort of thing to be resolved.
Employment might be on the rise...but welfare benefits are on the fall
One Minister claims that the Prime Minister is indanger of repealing a law found in the Magna Carte of 1297 Please remember people, that this Law was made between a Sole Monarch and his Barons...it was NOT made to enforce ANY Government....It was a Law AGAINST The Monarch by something which, in terms of the present day, doesnt really look much like a "Government" nor even a Parliament.
oh...and Ulster raises its ugly head again
