The Ashes may still be six weeks away but with Graeme Swann and Alastair Cook already in supreme form, Australia have plenty to fear from England.
With the help of England-based writer Sam Pilger, we take a look at who and what's making cricket news in enemy territory.
In form: Graeme Swann
Ominously for Australia, England's entire bowling attack appears to be heading into the Ashes series in exceptional form.
In the first Test at Lord's against New Zealand, Stuart Broad took those career-best figures, while in the second Test at Headingley, both Jimmy Anderson and Steve Finn took important wickets, but all three were put in to the shade by Graeme Swann's man of the match performance.
The England spinner grabbed match figures of 10-132, getting the Kiwi batsmen out both through the gate and by drawing plenty of outside edges.
This was the first five-wicket innings haul by an England spinner at this ground since 1985, and the first 10-wicket match haul since 1972.
Every week until the first Test we'll focus on "The Enemy" - the leading men, the bolters and what the media is saying.
"Graeme is a world-class spinner, but you never quite know how you're going to come back after an operation," said England captain Alastair Cook.
"He was put under pressure at Headingley to win the game and stood up and delivered."
On the way out?: Nick Compton
There used to be a time not long ago when an England batsman who had scored back-to-back centuries after only six Tests would be hailed as the saviour of the sport, knighted by the Queen and guaranteed a place in the batting line-up for the next decade.
But times have changed, and so Nick Compton, who scored those consecutive centuries in New Zealand less than three months ago, is now at serious risk of losing his position in the side before the Ashes.
Compton has now failed in his last six Test innings, scoring 13, 2, 16, 15, 1 and 7 against the Kiwis. He now appears to be gripped with fear, unable to play his normal strokes, and took a painful 45 balls to make that seven in his last innings against New Zealand at Headingley.
There is some talk about Joe Root replacing Compton at the top of the order, but that is unlikely, and such is the strength of this England batting line-up that they can now absorb a batsman out of form.
Just another century: Alastair Cook
When Alastair Cook reached his 25th Test hundred at Headingley, there was very little fanfare. It was no big deal because the England captain is simply expected to relentlessly make big scores like this.
Cook was already England's leading Test century maker, but has now put real distance between himself and the next names on the list.
He is now three ahead of Wally Hammond, Colin Cowdrey, Geoff Boycott and Kevin Pietersen, who each have 22.
Prickly Flower
Don't mention the A-word? It seems reports of England coach Andy Flower banning mention of the Ashes during the current Kiwi tour have been overstated.
Veteran BBC commentator Jonathan Agnew engaged in what he described as a prickly interview with Flower after England beat New Zealand in the second Test. Flower seemed upset at Agnew's suggestion that England had won while playing below their best.
The tense interview ended with the following Ashes-related exchange.
Agnew: You have a break away from the limelight now, the next time we see you will be that series beginning with A – are we allowed to talk about it or not, that A word?
Flower: Why might you not be able to?
Agnew: I thought we were put off talking about the Ashes…
Flower: No, I am asking you. Why might we not be able to talk about the Ashes?
Agnew: I don't know, I simply read in the newspaper that it was not a directive, but a preference for the Ashes not to be talked about at the moment?
Flower: OK, and where would that directive have come from?
Agnew: You, apparently.
Flower: Well, that is incorrect.
Agnew: OK, see you at the Ashes.
Quote of the Week
"I think it's going to be a lot tighter than a lot of people have been saying. There has been a lot of doom and gloom and negativity about our side, but not too long ago we were all being pretty positive about where we stood. Our batting is the key. If it can stand up to the English bowling then we will be competitive."
- Ricky Ponting, who has just arrived in England to play county cricket for Surrey, offers his former team-mates some hope.
Media watch
"The Australians have arrived, and we know what they bring with them. Fire. Death. Destruction. The same things they always bring. Standing in their way? Debilitating complacency. Uncharacteristic English overconfidence. An insidious belief that things are "shaping up nicely".
"Ashes cricket has one constant: when England are expected to perform badly, they do well. When they are expected to perform well, they do badly. Can't Ian Botham – with his "we'll beat them 5-0" – see? Can't anyone see? Optimism is poison. Predictions of victory guarantee defeat."
"So what if Ryan Harris cannot bowl without the aid of crutches? Or Michael Clarke is not speaking to Shane Watson. Or Phil Hughes still believes his stumps are 12 feet wide. To win the Ashes England must believe they are on the brink of losing. Stiff upper lips. Backs to the wall. A wicket that looks like it was laid upon the sand of Dunkirk."
Dan Hodges, The Daily Telegraph

Britney Spears Scares David Lucado Away With Wedding, Baby Talk?
"Britney Spears is working hard to win back her man!" declares Star. The tabloid claims the singer's boyfriend, David Lucado, "asked for a time-out on their romance earlier this summer after she continually demanded marriage and babies." Except Star says Spears quickly "realized how unreasonable she has become." "She was so desperate to get a ring on her finger that she didn't realize David was pulling away," explains a source for the tabloid. "It was a big wake-up call for her."
In other words, Star is pretending that Spears and Lucado had some kind of fight about their future, and is covering its bases by claiming that she had some dramatic epiphany and change of heart. Maybe it's time for the mag to let places with legitimate sources do the reporting from now on — because its Spears-Lucado track record is getting embarrassing. The story is false, and just an example of Star "trying to come up with something," a source close to the singer tells Gossip Cop.

|Bill Pinkney's Original Drifters
The Drifters
Willie "Bill" Pinkney (August 15, 1925 – July 4, 2007) was an American performer and singer. Pinkney was often said to be the last surviving original member of The Drifters, who achieved international fame with numerous hit records. He was chiefly responsible for its early sounds. The Drifters have had a strong influence on soul, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll music. As an original group member, Bill Pinkney was a 1988 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with The Drifters .
Early life[edit]
Born Willie Pinkney in Dalzell, South Carolina, Pinkney grew up singing his favorite music, gospel, in his church choir. Before his career with the Drifters, Pinkney was a pitcher for the Major League Baseball's New York Yankees sandlot team. He also served in the United States Army in World War II. He earned a Presidential Citation with five Bronze Stars (for battles including Normandy and Bastogne under General Patton). Returning from the war, Pinkney began to sing again in various gospel choirs. It was there that he would meet and join with the men who became the original members Drifters.
The Drifters[edit]
Bill Pinkney, brothers Andrew and Gerhart Thrasher, and bass singer Willie Ferbie were approached by Clyde McPhatter, who had just quit as the lead tenor of the popular R&B group, Billy Ward & the Dominoes. McPhatter proposed they create a new group to record for Atlantic Records. On their first record, "Money Honey", Pinkney, a natural bass-baritone with a multi-octave range, actually sang first tenor. After Ferbie left, Pinkney switched to the bass part, in which he was heard on "Honey Love," "White Christmas," "Adorable," "Ruby Baby," and many other early Drifters recordings. In 1954 the Drifters recorded their version of "White Christmas" by Irving Berlin. That version was featured in the 1990 movie Home Alone.[1] Pinkney can also be heard singing lead on the 1956 recording "I Should Have Done Right" and 1955's "Steamboat". Pinkney was in and out of the group from 1956 through 1958. He did not participate in the recording of later hits like "Fools Fall in Love" and "Drip Drop", which featured bass singer Tommy Evans.
After Pinkney's permanent departure, The Drifters recorded hit classics such as "Under the Boardwalk", "Save the Last Dance for Me", "There Goes My Baby", "Up on the Roof", and "On Broadway", with a completely new line-up.
Solo career and reformation of The Drifters[edit]
In 1958 George Treadwell, the group manager fired all of the individual Drifters and hired all new singers, The Crowns (formally known as the Five Crowns), signing them under the Drifters' name. Pinkney was forced to leave.
Pinkney quickly created a group called the Original Drifters, made up of key members of the first (1953–58) association. Pinkney's Original Drifters was consistently popular throughout the southeastern United States. For decades their music was a staple of the "beach music" scene.
Leaders such as President Bill Clinton and President Nelson Mandela of South Africa recognized Pinkney's contributions. Pinkney received many musical awards, including the Rhythm and Blues Foundation Pioneer Award, and was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,[1] United Group Harmony Association, and the Beach Music Hall of Fame.
He was selected for the South Carolina Black Hall of Fame and given a "key to the state", which proclaimed May 14 as Bill Pinkney Day. The cities of Sumter, Bamberg, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, each presented its "key to the city" to Pinkney. He also was honored by the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. In 2002, Pinkney received an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Music from Coastal Carolina University. During his final years, he still toured and recorded with The Original Drifters, while encouraging young talent in their musical endeavors.
Pinkney died the evening of July 4, 2007 in Florida from a heart attack, while staying at the Daytona Beach Hilton. He was to perform with The Drifters at the annual Daytona Beach 4th of July celebration, Red, White & Boom. Pinkney's funeral services were held on July 9, 2007 at the Sumter County Exhibition Center in Sumter, South Carolina. Pinkney was buried at the St. Luke AME Church in Sumter.
- According to the following sources Pinkney was born in Sumter, SC: Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll, page 286 (also they state that his name was spelled both as Pinckney and Pinkney); Rock Movers and Shakers, page 162; Peoples Almanac 2000, page 517.

Susana Baca
Baca was born in the black coastal barrio of Chorrillos, outside Lima, where descendants of slaves have lived since the days of the Spanish Empire. Her family was interested in music; her father played the guitar, while her mother was a dancer, and she grew up listening to Cuban musicians like Pérez Prado and Beny Moré. Baca's singing first came to public attention when she was a student. She formed an experimental group combining poetry and song, and started performing after receiving grants from Peru's Institute of Modern Art and the National Institute of Peruvian Culture. She attracted the attention of the composer and singer Chabuca Granda, who became her mentor. Granda encouraged Baca to record, but a 1983 record deal fell apart upon Granda's death. Baca then turned her attention to researching the Afro-Peruvian tradition. With her husband she founded the Instituto Negrocontinuo (Black Continuum) in Lima, which is dedicated to preserving Afro-Peruvian culture. She released a new EP, Seis Poemas, in 2009, following it with the full-length Afrodiaspora in 2011. ~ Spencer Harrington

no, its just not your style. we all have different styles and tastes
No, everyone to their own choice. Takes a lot of patience.
Nope. I don't like Batiks. It's just a personal preference.
I may as well get slapped in the face.....but I will just keep my mouth shut.
No comment.....
We like what we like and dislike what we dislike. I don't like grandmother's flower garden. That said, I do appreciate all the work that goes in but at shows, I usually breeze by those.
YES!!! hahahaa just kidding..you like what you like but not liking something is different then being a snob.. IF you snub your nose down on me or anyone who LOVES crumbs (ME!!!) then yup.. I would call ya a snob.. :XD: (please know Im laughing as Im writing this..No insult intended - unless your really a snob then I take it all back! lol... )
here's my crumb quilt...Yup you guessed it it has become a ufo till I finish my others.. But hey Im adding to my 'crumb' stash' Whoo Hoo!
You are not a snob because they are not your thing. I just made one. I was really trying to empty my scrap basket. I had lots of fun making it and I loved that it didn't cost me anything to make. I used scraps of batting too so it was a free quilt.
I save the crumbs... then look at them and wonder why I do. I like organized scrappy quilts... not hodge-podge ones, so I probably would have to say I am with you on this. I rarely find a crumb quilt that gets my attention. I don't think it is snobbish... just a personal preference. I have to admit that I look at a lot of quilts and wrinkle my nose. I've even done it to a couple of my own when I got them finished. :lol:

Christopher and Columbus HTML version
They had left early that morning for Boston, determined, as they wrote, no longer to
trespass on his kindness. There had been a discussion in their bedroom the night
before when they got back in which Anna-Rose supplied the heat and Anna-Felicitas
the arguments, and it ended in Anna-Felicitas succeeding in restoring Anna-Rose to her
original standpoint of proud independence, from which, lured by the comfort and
security of Mr. Twist's companionship, she had been inclined to slip.
It took some time, because of Anna-Rose being the eldest. Anna-Felicitas had had to be
as wary, and gentle, and persistently affectionate as a wife whom necessity compels to
try and get reason into her husband. Anna-Rose's feathers, even as the feathers of a
husband, bristled at the mere breath of criticism of her superior intelligence and wisdom.
She was the leader of the party, the head and guide, the one who had the dollars in her
pocket, and being the eldest naturally must know best. Besides, she was secretly
nervous about taking Anna-Felicitas about alone. She too had observed the stares of
the public, and had never supposed that any of them might be for her. How was she to
get to Boston successfully with so enchanting a creature, through all the complications
of travel in an unknown country, without the support and counsel of Mr. Twist? Just the
dollars and quarters and dimes and cents cowed her. The strangeness of everything,
while it delighted her so long as she could peep at it from behind Mr. Twist, appalled her
the minute she was left alone with it. America seemed altogether a foreign country, a
strange place whose inhabitants by accident didn't talk in a strange language. They
talked English; or rather what sounded like English till you found that it wasn't really.
But Anna-Felicitas prevailed. She had all Anna-Rose's inborn horror of accepting money
or other benefits from people who had no natural right to exercise their benevolences
upon her, to appeal to. Christopher, after long wrestling restored at last to pride, did sit
down and write the letter that so much spoilt Mr. Twist's breakfast next morning, while
Columbus slouched about the room suggesting sentences.
It was a letter profuse in thanks for all Mr. Twist had done for them, and couched in
language that betrayed the particular share Anna-Felicitas had taken in the plan; for
though they both loved long words Anna-Felicitas's were always a little the longer. In
rolling sentences that made Mr. Twist laugh in spite of his concern, they pointed out that
his first duty was to his mother, and his second was not to squander his possessions in
paying the hotel and railway bills of persons who had no sort of claim on him, except
those general claims of humanity which he had already on the St. Luke so amply
discharged. They would refrain from paying their hotel bill, remembering his words as to
the custom of the country, though their instincts were altogether against this course, but
they could and would avoid causing him the further expense and trouble and waste of
his no doubt valuable time of taking them to Boston, by the simple process of going
there without him. They promised to write from the Sacks and let him know of their
arrival to the address at Clark he had given them, and they would never forget him as
long as they lived and remained his very sincerely, A.-R., and A.-F. Twinkler.

Brent Expected to Continue to Slide Following US Budget Cuts
Brent crude oil slid lower to $110.36 at 10:49 GMT on Friday morning as markets waited tentatively for $85 billion dollars worth of spending cuts within the US government to kick in.
The world's largest economy and number one oil consumer was heading toward large scale spending cuts after Democrats and Republicans in Washington failed to compromise on an alternative plan to reduce the deficit.
The International Monetary Fund cautioned that US economic growth could slip by as much as 0.5 percent this year if a new agreement wasn't reached. With the budget cuts set to kick in on Friday, the IMF is expected to lower its global growth forecast if US government officials don't reach a last minute deal.
According to CNBC, many are expecting to see oil trade even lower throughout the next week as the market adjusts to big changes in the US. Since a last minute deal is considered highly unlikely, the global market is expected to suffer in the coming days, and in turn demand for oil will fall as well.
Also weighing on Brent prices was data from China, which showed that both foreign and domestic demand waned after official PMI data posted its lowest reading since September 2012 and fell to 50.1.
Problems in the Eurozone also brought Brent's prices down as political uncertainty in Italy continued to worry investors. An inconclusive election that showcased Italians' frustration with the current, austerity-focused path to recovery has sparked worries that this type of rejection of the eurozone's current austerity measures could spread to other struggling nations like Spain or Greece.

I don't think I would've thought of setting up a table for homemakers at a career day, but now that you mention it, it's a great idea. :)
Here are the things I can think of off the top of my head:
Taking care of your family and children yourself, the way you'd like it done, and getting to know and enjoy them
(Corollary: No or lower childcare bills)
A person minding the home can keep on top of things so a working spouse doesn't have to worry about them
Errands can be run during off hours
Self-direction and flexibility
Self-direction and flexibility! ;) (With few outside deadlines, it can be easy to procrastinate or let tasks take all day.)
Possible social isolation (unless you take steps to get out and be involved)
Possible disdain/disinterest of others (it can be hard to answer the question "so what do you do?" at a party or join in conversations about work)
Have a look around the rest of the site, too, if you haven't already. There are a lot of good articles. Good luck! :)

The lure of bricks and mortar boards
Over the past decade big private sector players have muscled in on the student accommodation market, which was once housing associations' territory. But with the UK's student population growing fast, there are still opportunities for the social sector. Keith Cooper reports
Last month, Derwent Living made its first push into London's lucrative student market, sealing a deal to build 136 studio flats near the capital's City University.
The £17 million project was phase one of the Derby-based housing association's plan to move beyond its traditional territories of the midlands, south Yorkshire and the south east.
'This would be a move into the capital, which we haven't done before,' says commercial director Paul Wisher. 'We have targeted our growth plan around where the main student demand is: either the capital or the Russell group [of elite research universities].' The association, which manages 3,700 student rooms in total, is also in negotiations to buy another 160 student homes near the City development.
It is not hard to see the appeal of London's student housing market.
According to a May report by property firm Savills, student numbers in the capital are growing 15 times faster than the supply of student homes - compared with a national ratio of 10 to one.
'Student housing continues to offer investors attractive investment returns, long-term income streams, rental growth prospects and high occupancy rates,' the research states.
With housing associations facing having to drop their rents by 2 per cent next year because the retail price index has fallen, the returns in the student section also look good. Nationally, average rents for purpose-built housing grew by 5 per cent in 2007/08 and 7 per cent in London.
Derwent Living is one of three housing associations to make Savills' list of the top 11 providers of purpose built student housing. The other two are Cosmopolitan Student Homes, a member of Cosmopolitan Housing Group, with 5,032 bed spaces, and Sanctuary Housing, with 8,255 (see table, right). The largest supplier by far is private firm Unite, which manages 36,700 units.
Marcus Roberts, director of student investment at Savills, says that social landlords hold a 20 to 25 per cent market share of the student accommodation sector.
'Housing associations were the trend-setters, but then the private sector got interested at the beginning of 2000 - before that Unite were relatively small,' he adds.
Attractive investment
But investors would be interested in financing new student accommodation projects led by housing associations, he predicts. 'There would be high-net-worth and overseas investors seeing the supply and demand imbalance and taking advantage of that.'
Sam McMillan, director of student services at Cosmopolitan, is equally positive about investors' confidence.
'We are looking at pension funds,' he says. 'They are looking for a stable return. The student market provides that because it is asset-backed with a good cash flow.'
The market was strengthened by increasing numbers of foreign students coming to the UK, he adds.
'It is looking quite buoyant. The pound isn't strong while foreign currency is, particularly the Chinese.'
In London alone, an extra 125,000 international students are expected to arrive over the next decade, the Savills report predicts. This is on top of the capital's current foreign student population of around 70,000, according to a financial report by Unite.
Martin Hadland, head of student housing at consultancy Drivers Jonas, reckons housing associations are in a good position to develop new student housing for cash-strapped universities.
'Very little new accommodation is coming through the universities and that is indicative of the future, because they have to spend a significant amount of money on their academic estate,' he says. 'The best fit is where the university and the housing association get together in a deal, because their objectives are pretty similar. Housing associations have a stronger pastoral role [than private providers] and are not-for-profit.'
Tony King, group director of capital investment at Sanctuary Group, says the recession has had a counter-cyclical effect on the student market. 'There are now more people looking to stay in education.'
But the recession has taken its toll on the market, according to Chris Baines, commercial operations director at Servite Homes, which manages 2,700 rooms.
'Traditional first year halls of residence have been part of the "student experience", but the increasing supply of empty buy-to-let street properties, as a result of the current economic climate, is creating a cheap alternative,' he explains. 'We have seen fewer second and third year and post-grad students in our halls as a result.'
And there were also fewer major student accommodation deals over the last 18 months, Mr Baines added, leading to a predicted two point drop in equity return to 6 per cent.
The government's licensing scheme for large multi-storey properties classified as houses in multiple occupation could boost demand, according to a study by Drivas Jonas.
'Some landlords may choose to let their property to the general market instead, saving them the time and regulatory burden on letting their property as an HMO,' it states.
'The removal of some HMOs will add further pressure to the supply/demand imbalance between students and the number of student beds.'

The Lincoln Lawyer
(out of 5)
Matthew McConaughey puts his slimy charms to terrific effect in this solid legal thriller with a wonderful twist on an old story: what happens when a lawyer not only knows that his client is guilty, but that revealing it could get him into serious trouble? McConaughey plays an advocate who specializes in tough cases that win him a huge payload, who has a familiar case fall in his lap that turns out to be irregular. A party-happy rich kid (Ryan Philippe) is accused of beating up a prostitute and faces spending serious jail time unless his lawyer can help him. In investigating the details of the case, our hero realizes that not only is it likely that Philippe committed the crime, but that he is also responsible for a murder that someone else, who was once McConaughey's client, wrongly went to jail for. Untangling this web has serious ramifications for the progatonist, who faces destroying his entire career to make wrong things right, and his getting himself out of this mess without hurting himself, his investigator best friend (William H. Macy) and fellow lawyer ex-wife (Marisa Tomei) and daughter is going to be tricky. Watching him work it out is a thorough delight.
Directed by Brad Furman
Screenplay by John Romano, based on the novel by Michael Connelly

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: open
As soon as I boot up when the KVM switch is attached, the resolution changes to 800 x 600. Unplugging the KVM switch and connecting direct to the keyboard/mouse/monitor, and it reverts back to the original settings.
Why does this happen?
Obviously, I have changed the resolution back to the original while the KVM switch is attached.
Strange thing is, I have never had the problem of the resolution changing on a hardware KVM switch before.
DDC is a signaling standard that allows your monitor to tell the computer it's resolution and other characteristics.
I would first make sure that when you reboot, you've switched the KVM to that computer. If that doesn't work, you'll have to configure your OS to explicitly set the resolution, rather than using DDC.
The KVM is switched to that machine, and it has all the latest drivers. Both machines are using XP Pro SP2 and the second machine works just fine.
But then, these things happen, and no one machine seems to perform the same. :/
It sure looks to me like the problem is DDC, since it works fine when you hook-up the monitor directly. The KVM is not sending the DDC to the video adapter.

Texture Coating for a New Concrete Block outside Wall
This weekend I built a 16w x 7h concrete block wall that separates the patios of my condo. I would like to put a good texture coating similar to what I have seen on many of the commercial buildings but I am not sure what that small pebble texture is and how to apply it where it looks so good (no signs of the concrete blocks behind the texture).
Any helpful ideals?
I'm not sure about "small pebble" but I've seen countless block walls that were stucco'ed that look great.
buy a hopper gun & hook it up to an air comp,,, we do it all the time.

text: 1) Quit playing Dyess. Replace his minutes with a combination of JMAX and Amir. This makes our whole rotation quite a bit quicker, more able to play defense. Better transition D. Better defensive rotation. Better defense against cutters / drivers to the basket. More bigs showing on the perimeter, to disrupt Cleveland's perimeter game. 2)Play Sharpe some. Just to get another tall, quick player out there that James has to think about. These minutes will come directly from Tay's minutes - unless Tay finds a way to actually guard Bron. If nothing else works, play Afflalo more on Bron, even if it means Tay sits 2 minutes into the game. 3)Providing that JMAX and Amir can play all the minutes at power forward while keeping out of any serious foul trouble, play the front line of Sheed, Amir, JMAX. If nothing else works, just start this group: Bynum, Afflalo, Amir, JMAX, Sheed. Play some defense. Subs: Stuckey, Rip, (Tay or Sharpe, depending on which one bothers Bron the most), Kwame. With Amir and JMAX taking turns sitting now and then, but never both at the same time. What Curry should absolutely not do. Go out weakly, never trying anything new, and making excuses at the end of each game.

Biting the hand that stopped feeding youby
I liked the headline so much on this post about French President Sarkozy's battle with public TV that I copied it. One of Sarkozy's contentions is that he noticed no difference between state-run and private TV offerings. Coming from a politician as nuanced as Sarkozy, that's strange. From what I recall in my years in France, at least one distinction is crystal clear: the porn on state-run TV is mostly soft and gauzy. Much harder fare runs on the commercial channels.
It's dead week here at BW. We don't publish an issue this Wednesday night. A lot of people are out on vacation. I feel free on weeks like these to wear sandals, take longer lunches and slump more than usual at my desk.
My wife and I are taking off on Thursday for a week in Quebec. We know next to nothing, have no plans, no reservations: just a car, credit cards and two bikes. Any suggestions?

Not one mention of mental health issues in your abysmal journalistic attempt. Maybe you'll get 'em next time, Jim. Oh, and thanks for the embarrassingly pointless polling information.
You hit the nail on the head. A fun side note:When I was a small child, growing up in the rural south, Jeff Sessions once knocked on our families door and offered to buy all of the bedsheets in the house for double their original cost. I know, weird.
Must have been taught writing by one of those semi-qualified teachers.
Teacher need to know HOW to teach as well as knowing the subject matter.
McSally has an F- on immigration - same grade as Raul Grijalva. She votes for increasing immigration and against enforcing immigration laws at virtually every opportunity.
As long as it's not to pay for more and more illegal aliens and their children, I'm happy to pay more in taxes for useful things like smart infrastructure, mental health care, and education. Unfortunately that won't be the case.
The media has fanned the flames of hatred and bears responsibility for pushing people to say and do stupid stuff. Tone it down.
Check a recent article in the newsweekly "Economist" for an unbiased review of vouchers and tax credits used around the world for education. The basic thrust of the article is that vouchers & tax credits do work - where there is strong central control. Netherlands is a case in point - number 7 overall in the world (US is 39th), vouchers are used there in religious and sectarian schools but the central government plays a strong roll in ensuring a quality education.
Just awesome topic! I also can be helpful here :) I just filled out Tax & Accounting with an online software. It looked much better typed than hand-written. I used originformstudio.com/profit-and-loss-statement and it's very easy to use.
Also worked with Allen in Las Vegas. I'm pretty sure it was the same company. I was startled when he did reporting when I was working at a station there considering I had worked with him here in Tucson for years.
Safier, you are so full of sh*t ...
"Tax and spend"?
How about call it what it is: Socialism, take from the people who worked for it and have it and give it to the people who haven't.
But the only problem with Socialism is that sooner or later, "you eventually run out of other people's money" (gee, what an irony..this quote is from Margaret Thatcher who is currently rolling over in her grave with this liberal Labour Party proposal).
This is a boon to private religioous schools who now can claim publ;ic vouchers for tuition.

Somebody is all wet.
I don't join the comments section much, but I gotta say, I rarely get so many people saying I got it right. I know people will be all over me in the next post no matter what it is, but I'm going to enjoy this brief moment of positive vibes while it's here.
Why so negative about pit bulls? They are not a social problem at all! Their a loving dog and very loyal to the family.
It's unclear whether Safier is trying to imply that the struggles over the TUSD Board were cast in the same mold ("privatization," or public district / union vs. charter) in which he says the L.A. struggles are cast. If he is implying that, he is wrong. Neither "faction" / coalition in the TUSD Board battles was pro-Charter, pro-privatization.
There are in fact many different kinds of "education wars" going on both locally and nationally. When it comes to figuring out what's going on or how to vote at the local level, it comes down to understanding the details of the business -- and the conditions in the schools -- in the districts in question. Some public districts are well managed. Others are not. This whole "privatization" narrative has the effect in some cases of throwing a cloak over instances of mismanagement by lumping all public districts in with the "good guys" in their fight against the "villainous privatizers." That's a unique form of B.S. that has developed in our contemporary education media scene that voters would be well advised to develop a way of detecting. If they don't, they may in many cases waste their votes on poor "leaders" who will, in office, do more to undermine the cause of public education than to support it, in spite of what they say during their campaigns.
You are correct and the world is wrong. Again. Or sometimes.
Not in my front yard! That's the Tucson we have been forced to know and love. I am introducing Doggie Diapers next month that I want the City to purchase with their sales tax increase. What a load.

The ISAF Sailing World Cup in Hyeres, France has hit the mid-way mark and many of the NZL Sailing Team continue to inch up the standings with Jo Aleh and Polly Powrie, and Peter Burling and Blair Tuke leading the charge, both now holding the overall lead.
Alexandra Maloney and Molly Meech have moved into the top three in the 49erFX, Andy Maloney lies third in the Laser, Josh Junior is in fourth in the Finn and Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski are fourth in the 49er.
"It was really nice conditions, a little more breeze than expected and it was nice to stretch out again," said Tauranga's Maloney. "It's always nice to get a bullet and it helps with confidence, it was a solid day and we're looking forward to the next three days."
In the women's 470 Aleh and Powrie placed 2nd in both gold fleet races and take the lead by two points from Sophie Weguelin and Eilich McIntyre (GBR). Over in the 49er class the gold fleet sailed three races and Burling and Tuke used them to take the lead and extend a points margin to stand 11 clear of chasing rivals Ryan Seaton and Matthew McGovern (IRL).
The overnight leaders, from Britain, slipped to third place with New Zealand's Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski now hot on their heals in fourth.
In the Finn class Josh Junior had his best day in Hyeres and lifted his overall position from seventh up to fourth as a result.
After another solid day Sam Meech retains seventh place in the Laser class, while Thomas Saunders sailed well to climb 10 places on the leaderboard.
Across the other fleets Gemma Jones and Jason Saunders sailed well in the Nacra 17 and are now in 14th. Paul Snow-Hansen and Daniel Willcox are lying 29th in the men's 470 and Sara Winther is the best placed Kiwi in the Laser Radial in 19th place. Jon-Paul Tobin lies 18th in the men's RS:X and Natalia Kosinska is in 15th in the women's division.

Immigrant Rights Supporters Protest Anti-Immigrant Crowd
When ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement buses tried to drop children off at a US detention center in Murrietta, CA, last week, a crowd of anti-immigrant "go home" protesters blocked the buses. The sight recalled nothing so much as the White Citizens Councils greeting Freedom Riders in the South, or racist crowds demanding segregation of schools.
In a most bizarre twist, the Dean of Morgan State University's Journalism school suggested sending the children to Guantanamo because there's a lot of empty space there. NO! Close that torture camp now.
But on July 4, and since, immigration rights supporters showed up in equal and larger numbers. Revolution reported
"People came to the immigration detention center in Murrieta from all over Southern California and beyond on the 4th of July to insist that the children with and without parents flooding across the border in Texas be treated humanely, with care and concern, and not as animals or criminals. And they came to challenge and confront the reactionaries whose ugly anti-immigrant xenophobia and pro-USA chauvinism has been given center stage in the national—and international—news all week...
"A high school student, dressed in white, told Revolution she had set up an event page on Facebook calling on friends to come dressed in white, and to march silently from the Wal-Mart a half mile away to the detention center. Though she was only familiar with a couple of her new 'virtual' friends, 30 people showed up for the July 4th march!
"A number of people from Murrieta came to oppose the racists. Two sisters from Murrieta—one in high school, the other in college with a young daughter—came together, carrying two handmade signs that each said: 'Our Land Is Your Land. Bienvenidos!' over a rippling American flag. They had first come to the detention center on Tuesday after hearing that anti-immigrant forces were out there."
A few photos capture a little of the chaotic and very political scene, which has continued for days.

A Treatise of Human Nature HTML version
him. The removal of either of these destroys the passion; which evidently proves that the
cause Is a compounded one.
Twould be tedious to trace the passions of love and hatred, through all the observations
which we have formed concerning pride and humility, and which are equally applicable
to both sets of passions. Twill be sufficient to remark in general, that the object of love
and hatred is evidently some thinking person; and that the sensation of the former passion
is always agreeable, and of the latter uneasy. We may also suppose with some shew of
probability, THAT THE CAUSE OF BOTH THESE PASSIONS IS ALWAYS
One of these suppositions, viz, that the cause of love and hatred must be related to a
person or thinking being, in order to produce these passions, is not only probable, but too
evident to be contested. Virtue and vice, when considered in the abstract; beauty and
deformity, when placed on inanimate objects; poverty and riches when belonging to a
third person, excite no degree of love or hatred, esteem or contempt towards those, who
have no relation to them. A person looking out at a window, sees me in the street, and
beyond me a beautiful palace, with which I have no concern: I believe none will pretend,
that this person will pay me the same respect, as if I were owner of the palace.
It is not so evident at first sight, that a relation of impressions is requisite to these
passions, and that because in the transition the one impression is so much confounded
with the other, that they become in a manner undistinguishable. But as in pride and
humility, we have easily been able to make the separation, and to prove, that every cause
of these passions, produces a separate pain or pleasure, I might here observe the same
method with the same success, in examining particularly the several causes of love and
hatred. But as I hasten a full and decisive proof of these systems, I delay this examination
for a moment: And in the mean time shall endeavour to convert to my present purpose all
my reaaonings concerning pride and humility, by an argument that isfounded on
unquestionable ex
There are few persons, that are satisfyed with their own character, or genius, or fortune,
who are nor desirous of shewing themselves to the world, and of acquiring the love and
approbation of mankind. Now it is evident, that the very same qualities and
circumstances, which are the causes of pride or self-esteem, are also the causes of vanity
or the desire of reputation; and that we always put to view those particulars with which in
ourselves we are best satisfyed. But if love and esteem were not produced by the same
qualities as pride, according as these qualities are related to ourselves or others, this
method of proceeding would be very absurd, nor coued men expect a correspondence in
the sentiments of every other person, with those themselves have entertained. It is true,
few can form exact systems of the passions, or make reflections on their general nature
and resemblances. But without such a progress in philosophy, we are not subject to many
mistakes in this particular, but are sufficiently guided by common experience, as well as
by a kind of presentation; which tells us what will operate on others, by what we feel

Randy Coates Releases THE MONARCHS
Author Randy Coates draws on real events from his life in his new book "The Monarchs" (published by iUniverse). He combines a love of travel with the experiences of a friend to craft an engrossing, empathetic tale.
In "The Monarchs," two retired school teachers who travel to Mexico regularly are mesmerized by the annual migration of the monarch butterflies, which brings them spiritual comfort. The couple finds that Mexico is a soothing remedy while the husband battles prostate cancer.
An excerpt from "The Monarchs":
"'It's cancer,' he said and when she did not speak, he shrugged his shoulders and raised his hands. No one said anything for a moment.
He shrugged his shoulders again. 'Prostate, of course.'
'Oh Robert...'
If not for the bad news, the sound of the swishing water as he adjusted himself would have been transfixing. It only added satire to the situation."
"Not many books that I have read show the physical love between two 60-year-olds, including their love-making," Coates says. "The book shows that sexual relationships between two people, regardless of age, should not make anyone squirm."

BA cancels flights from London's Heathrow, Gatwick after IT outage

* Total head says didn't know about illegal allocation system
* Vitol in spotlight, accused of corrupting foreign agents
By Chine Labbé and Alexandria Sage
PARIS, Feb 5 The chief executive of Total told a French court on Tuesday he had no knowledge that the French oil giant was buying illegally procured oil during the United Nations oil-for-food programme over a decade ago.
CEO Christophe de Margerie - who before taking the top post at Total headed its Middle East operations and its exploration and production unit - is accused of complicity in the misuse of corporate assets. He risks up to five years imprisonment and a fine of 375,000 euros ($499,300).
De Margerie, 61, is one of 18 individual defendants, along with Total and Swiss top oil trader Vitol, to face French criminal charges in the far-ranging corruption scandal.
"I have a great memory," de Margerie calmly told the three magistrates in the Paris criminal court. "I dispute this completely, I'm ready to state it yet again."
The 1996-2003 oil-for-food programme, which was intended to allow Iraq to buy humanitarian goods through U.N.-controlled sales of oil despite international economic sanctions, was undermined by kickbacks and influence peddling, according to an independent inquiry led by former U.S. Federal Reserve head Paul Volcker.
Some 139 companies that bought oil from Baghdad paid illegal surcharges or kickbacks that reaped $228.8 million for the Iraqi government between 2000-2002, according to the report. French companies were the top buyers after Russia.
Baghdad also allocated oil to influential individuals it believed could lobby on its behalf to reduce sanctions.
The non-transparent system relied on little-known companies as intermediaries that entered into contracts with Iraq or political beneficiaries who held oil allocations and subsequently sold oil to traders or oil companies, it found.
Prosecutors accuse de Margerie of introducing a Lebanese attorney with connections to the Iraqi government and to its oil, Elias Firzli, to Total's trading unit.
They say de Margerie could not have ignored the fact that Firzli was selling his illegal allocations of oil in violation of the oil-for-food programme's rules.
While de Margerie did not deny having introduced Firzli, now deceased, to Total, he told the court he knew nothing about Baghdad's system of oil allocations to influential individuals.
"I must be an idiot, but I didn't know the word 'allocations,'" de Margerie said, adding that Firzli never told him he was the recipient of such illegal supplies of oil.
De Margerie was placed under formal investigation in his role in the oil-for-food scandal in October 2006, just four months before being appointed to the top post at Total, now France's second-largest company by market capitalization.
Total, which faces up to a 1.88 million euro ($2.55 million)fine, has denied corruption and influence-peddling allegations.
The case also comes at an awkward time for Vitol, which has recently made headlines for dealing in Iranian fuel oil .
While Vitol's Iran deal was not illegal since it was executed by a trading branch outside the jurisdiction of European sanctions, it raised scrutiny of the traditionally secretive company and its British CEO, Ian Taylor.
In the Iraq-related case, Vitol is accused of corrupting foreign public agents between 2000-2003 and faces a fine of 750,000 euros ($1.02 million).
Two weeks ago, a judge overruled a constitutional challenge brought by Vitol's attorney, who had argued the company could not be judged in France as it had already been convicted of oil-for-food offences in a New York court.
According to the investigation, Vitol paid about $582,000 to Serge Boidevaix, a French ex-diplomat and former Total executive, to presumably procure oil allocations from Iraq.
The investigation found that Taylor asked that payments for the oil be made through an intermediary named Peakville which prosecutors say was intended for "discreet payments."
Vitol declined further comment on the case.
The trial is scheduled to run until Feb. 20. ($1 = 0.7376 euros) (Writing By Alexandria Sage; Editing by Leslie Adler)

Re: WWE 2011: Success Is A Journey, Not A Destination
Smackdown Review
I've been meaning to review this thread for a while, I feel like this time period was a massive wasted opportunity and led to a disappointing Mania. I'm hoping you you do a good job with it. I'll be reading. Anyway here is my first Smackdown Review.
I like the recap format. Short, simple, and to the point. Nice opening segment. Edge listing off all of his big wins was good because it made Cody look strong being brought in the same conversation as a John Cena, Undertaker, or Batista. Cody came out and got his in. I liked his character a lot around this time so I'm glad he's getting some main event exposure even though he won't win. And of course it wouldn't be a Smackdown opening segment if Teddy Long didn't come out and make a match. Pick your poison should be fun.
I like the idea of Superstars having to impress Teddy to get in the Rumble and I like the idea of Beth actively trying to get in. I think that is the first time we've ever seen that in BTB or honestly in a while in WWE. I liked how Beth was treated as a man because the way Kaval beat her down was damn good. Nice match
Rhodes and Big Show backstage, I hate face Big Show so hopefully he gets paired with Kane or turned soon. Either way still interested in who Cody picks to face Edge. I want more segments like this
I hope Drew destroys Barretta. McIntyre at least has some character.
Nice match for Show to stay strong, not much else to say about it. As it appears he's waiting on Cody Rhodes or hopefully turning.
Two more pick you poison segments. I like these. Edge's by far more serious with Master, I doubt he'll be the guy but it makes him look good. I lol'd at the Cody segment. It really gets over that no one likes him and wants to fight for him. I'm really interested to see whose gonna face Edge.
Rey Mysterio! Good choice considering he really has nothing else going on right now (Where's Alberto Del Rio btw) Glad Cody got the clean win over Rey it makes him look really strong going foward to the Rumble. Still waiting on Edge's opponent.
A nice sounding Kane segment. Please keep him heel, I didn't like the kind of random of face turn he got after the most brutal heel run in a while. I see him posing a threat in the Rumble before he getting knocked out by a lot of men at the same time.
I like the Kelly element of this Drew-Trent storyline. She's such a slut and it works. I hope she betrays Trent though. Drew > Trent
YES! YES! YES! YES! McIntyre looked a beast here. That was always won of the problems with how they booked him IRL. He was talked about as a future world champion, choosen one etc. And they never did anything to make him look like that. This was good with heel Kelly. AJ to the rescue! I hope Drew moves on past Trent and we just get Kelly vs. AJ instead of a mixed tag feud. I never really enjoyed those.
Lol "The Mask". This was obviously Rhodes the whole time but I loved it. Classic old school heel move to get one over Edge with the DQ and the beatdown after the match. Rhodes stands tall at the end again. This was a great way to end the show. Not only do I like Rhodes character here, wormy, sneaky, old school heel. You're making him look like a real threat to Edge which is hard to do consider, Edge just beat a monster in a Last Man Standing Match. How would anyone threaten him? Well Rhodes is doing a nice job.
Nice show, I'll definitely read more. The progression to the Rumble looked good. Edge-Cody is turning into a sweet feud that is making Rhodes into a star even if he fails to get the belt. Keep up the good work with these characters because they made for a good show. I'll be sure to be back and review again
