Possibly the most beautiful swimming pool in the world, even if it is jammed on hot days. It combines an impossibly idyllic setting (tropical foliage, waterfalls, Italian architectural touches) with freshwater, replenished nightly in summer months from a subterranean aquifer. Once a quarry, it was built in the 1920s as an exotic locale for swimming and entertainment; back in the day, there were gondolas and orchestras; movie stars such as Esther Williams and Johnny Weissmuller of Tarzan fame serenaded poolside dancers. These days you might catch the filming of aqua aerobics classes for television. Everyone wants a piece of the pool. Luckily for Joe Public, it's open to the masses seven days a week, but it is perhaps best enjoyed when not overrun with toddlers and boom-box blasts (avoid weekends).

Really beautiful place! Unfortunately, the staff is super rude. Be prepared to pay for chairs that are sold out from the early morning and to pay to go to the bathroom, also you can not bring food in, but food is not sold inside the place. Went once and wouldn't go again.
So cool
Very nice look like a little paradise around the pool just thought it was bigger.

Nature, earth, magic, wildlife, folklore… I think these are the words most people associate with me, and my art. They wouldn't be wrong. But it might surprise you to know that when it comes to movies and books, I tend to gravitate toward Science Fiction. One of my all-time favorite films is Alien (and it's sequel, Aliens). I'm also a big Star Wars fan. I had so many Star War toys growing up–so many!! For a short time, when I was a kid in Laurel, MD one of my cousins lived with us. She was an amazing woman. She worked for NASA as an engineer on the Hubble Space Telescope program. I received the VIP tour of Goddard Space Flight Center!
So yeah, I love Science and Science Fiction. If you're an artist, the things you love inevitably end up in your art.
None of the pieces above are new, but I haven't shown them on my website till now. For a long time I didn't think they fit with my other work, but nowadays I just don't have time to worry about it. It's all a part of me. I was surprised though, when J Edward reached out to see if we could strike a deal on the use of my SciFi art for book covers. I never imagined how awesome they might look…
You can find A Door Never Dreamed Of and Darkness Between the Stars on Amazon.
I do focus more on my fantasy and nature art, but you can probably assume I always have something else in the works, behind the scenes. Right now it's a piece I'm calling Remnants. I hope to finish it and unveil it in the next couple months. I'm also beginning to add prints to my shop!
To celebrate the release of Darkness Between the Stars and officially incorportating my SciFi art into my portfolio, J Edward Neill and I are hosting a giveaway!! Using Rafflecopter, one person will win a paperback copy of his new book and 16×20 inch print of the original art, The War for Jupiter. This giveaway is only open to US residents (SORRY!!). The winner will receive their prizes separately from myself and J Edward Neill.
Congratulations to Kerry Correa for winner our giveaway!!

He will be truly missed. Pray for his family. They are wonderful people.

You are totally unbelieveable! You support the sale of alcohol, plan on opening a bar, support the abuse of women and children, have no respect for the sanctity of marriage by encouraging men and women to become adulters just to name a few and you expect this young mans family and wife to believe that you KNOW how to pray. Don't make me gag! Your MOTHER should have considered an abortion when she found out she was carrying you.
#5 Jan 10, 2012
You are absolutely right! My sincere apologizes to you and this young mans family. There is no excuse for MY rude behavior. My only excuse, I have read that woman's evil and trashy comments on other topics and found it unbelieveable that she could offer up prayers to this family in their time of sorrow. My second mistake was not making sure what topic I was reading before posting. This was NOT the place for what I said. My apologizes to the family.

I think it takes a sick idiot to put anything negative towards anyone on here at this time.I dont think there is a RIGHT way to pray.Doesnt mean prayers will not be answered.Dustins family can use each and every prayer we can get,and I dont think God intended us study a blueprint to do so.God answers prayers.As for yourself,you should take your trouble making inconciderste attention wanting self centered tail away from this post.Didnt see you offering up any prayers.God bless him and we thank him for the prayers.

1st off, if you don't know how to use topix then dont get on it! Dustin was an amazing boy! I grew up with him in church! He was such a loving, caring, sweet boy! It makes me sick to even think that someone would say something so hurtful to anyone, especially a U.S ARMY SOLDIER that DIED fighting for an jerk as yourself!He had just started his life, and got it take way to soon! He is loved, and missed by not just a few but by millions of people. I love you Dustin, and your family is in my heart and prayers!

I feel sorry for this boys family but i dont know where people like you say that someone like this boy gave his life for us , i have never had any of these people from other countries do anything to me .
They have never come here and said i cant watch Tv if we buy and pay for our tv's no one should tell us when we can watch them .
Death is a bad thing for anyone ,i dont see how anyone could take any human life .The world is in bad shape not just in this country. Did you see the 18 news tonight said that 4 marines was caught in pictures urinated on the ones they killed , them dead bodies was someones loving child too . All lifes are precious and we are all Gods children no matter what race or country we are from. Just pray for world peace and for our soldiers to come home .

Fadden, Lethbridge to open vs. Calgary on ThursdaySubmitted by chad on April 15, 2008 - 13:11
The Lethbridge Hurricanes and Calgary Hitmen will begin their WHL Eastern Conference championship series on Thursday in Calgary. There was a question of when and if No.1 Calgary would host the first couple games because the Calgary Roughnecks of the National Lacrosse League have a home game Saturday night and the NHL Flames would play the Sharks on Sunday should that series go 6 games.
Game 2 will be Friday night in Calgary before moving to Lethbridge Tuesday and Wednesday for Games 3 and 4.
Lethbridge, the East's No.3 seed who had the second-most points in the conference, went 5-1 vs. Calgary this year, including two shutouts. In their last meeting on March 9, the 'Canes won 4-3 in a game in which Lightning prospect Mitch Fadden had a goal and an assist and was named first star. For the regular season series, Fadden had 3 goals and 4 assists for 7 points in the 6 games.
Fadden currently has 13 points in 11 playoff games, including 4 goals.
In the Western Conference, No.1 Tri-City, fresh off their 5 game series win over Riku Helenius and Seattle, will meet No.3 Spokane, who disposed of No.2 Vancouver in 6 games. That series will begin Friday.

Congratulations to Dana Tyrell on scoring his first professional goal. The 2007 2nd round pick finishes his ATO with Norfolk with 1 goal and 6 points in 11 games with a +1 rating and 6 penalty minutes.
With the win, Norfolk surpassed the 28 wins of the Springfield Falcons of a year ago and finished 6 points ahead of the former Lightning affiliate's total from a season ago. It's progress, however modest.

AHL Game Night 4/11: Admirals at SenatorsSubmitted by pete on April 11, 2008 - 20:50
A big win for a young team.
Jonathan Boutin stopped 30 of 32 shots for the win to break a personal seven game losing streak. The win also helped Boutin raise his save percentage back to .900 for the season. It's been a roller coaster ride all year for Boutin as he seems to win and lose games in month long streaks. At one point a little over a month ago he seemed to be coming into his own showing a winning record and a save percentage above .910. Unfortunately he hasn't shown the ability to step up and win games on his own in the last month, which is the next big hurdle he has to get over in his professional development. The legitimate starters don't post 7 game losing streaks. They find a way to pull out wins even when the team in front of them struggles. Boutin isn't quite to that point yet.
First Period

Kyle Wanvig and Justin Keller were named the game's first and second stars.
Congratulations to Dane Crowley on his first professional point and congratulations to Dana Tyrell on his first professional multi-point game.
With the win, Norfolk matches the win total set a year ago by the Lightning farmhands in Springfield of 28. They've also accumulated 4 more points than the Falcons did last season. The importance of hitting this milestone cannot be underestimated, in my opinion. It would have been a terrible blow to the organization if the move to Norfolk and the time spent developing their prospects hadn't shown any measure of improvement on the ice. Modest as it may be, these Admirals have gotten better compared to last year's Falcons, and they'll have one more swing at besting last year's win total tomorrow night against the Pens. It'll be a tough nut to crack against the division leaders, but it would be a heck of a way to end the season if the Ads could pull off one more big upset to head into the offseason on a high note.

Stranded in Paris
Short Story by: Quickpaws
Status: Finished
Genre: Humor
My boyfriend Tom, my Rottweiler/Pit Bull dog Ginger, and I were on our first road trip from Sacramento, California, to Greenwood, Mississippi. One of the states we had to drive through was Texas.
Late one afternoon, Tom and I parked our F-150 Ford pickup at a restaurant. I hooked up Ginger's leash and fastened her to the bumper of the truck. I put a bowl of water near her. Tom and I were hungry, and we were hot and tired from driving all day long. I hobbled up the wheelchair ramp on crutches because a few days earlier, Tom had run over me and broken my foot. (Curious? Check out the short story "The Agony of de Feet". It'll give you all the gory details!) We looked forward to a relaxing meal after a hard day of traveling.
The food was a refreshing break from the taste of Texas dust. We came out of the restaurant after our meal to find Ginger licking her lips, gazing longingly into a disposable plastic bowl that had been placed in front of her while Tom and I were in the restaurant. A spoonful of the meal sat on the bottom of the bowl, still begging to be eaten.
"Oh, great!" I commented. Some Bozo had fed my dog chili! No wonder the water in her bowl was gone! I didn't know what kind of chili it was: four-alarm, three- alarm, two-alarm, one-alarm, or false alarm. By about half an hour after we got back on the road, I knew it had been "four alarm" chili. Ginger's well-intentioned benefactor had inadvertently given her a DEADLY case of gas, and I had the joy of sitting next to my dog for the next hour as we tried without success to find a motel with a vacancy.
I would roll up my window to avoid mosquitoes. Ginger would tear one loose, and I'd have to hastily roll the window back DOWN for air. I've had a lifelong addiction to oxygen, but my DOG was the one who needed to be de-toxed. I would glance sideways at her when she'd let one, and was appalled to find a look of exquisite satisfaction on her brindle-colored face. The air around me would slowly turn green. I'd try to push her away from me, but only succeeded in pushing her closer to my husband, who was doing the driving! Over and over, my dog enjoyed that bowl of four-alarm chili. Over and over, I neared the point of suffocation and prayed for a motel with a vacancy. There was none to be found. We were stranded in Paris, driving around in an eight-cylinder gas chamber.
Tom grew tired and badly needed rest. I sat next to my gassy Pit Bull and badly needed air! Where in the world were we going to spend the night?
Finally, Tom decided to take a long shot and pulled into a filling station with a large parking lot. The manager was very kind after he heard the details of our situation. He graciously allowed us to park on the other side of the lot and sleep until we could be on our way the next morning. It wasn't a motel room, but at least we had a place to park.
Tom is able to sleep sitting up. I usually can't, so I used his leg as a pillow. I kept the temporary cast on my leg so that Ginger could rest her head on it. I was ALMOST asleep when Ginger let one rip again! She had so much gas, I just knew that if she had stepped outfor a walk,Arabs would have beenfollowing her. Between Tom's snoring and Ginger's explosive revelations, I couldn't sleep.
I sat up and rolled the window down to let air into the cab. As soon as I did, the mosquitoes invited themselves to dine on my arms, legs, and face. Ginger slept peacefully in a self-renewing cloud of methane, no doubt dreaming about dog-paddling through a river of hot, four-alarm chili.
Finally, I could stand it no longer. I shook my boyfriend awake.
"Tom!" I whispered. He stopped snoring long enough to answer me.
"What?" he enquired.
"I'm going to tie Ginger to the bumper," I informed him.
"Okay," he acquiesced. "Be careful."
I woke up my 85-pound gas factory, wondering what effect she would have on the greenhouse emmissions here in Texas. She let me tie her to the bumper. Now she could let 'em rip and it wouldn't bother me at all!
I climbed back into the cab and rolled up the window. I reached briefly into my nearby purse and sprayed a small amount of air freshener into the immediate atmosphere. Finally, I had what I needed: oxygen, protection from mosquitoes, and quiet. Well, almost quiet. Tom still snored loudly enough to wake the dead!
If anyone ever tells you about the joys of visiting Paris, take my advice: be a little skeptical. In MY experience, Paris was extremely overrated!

Swiftkey 3 leaves beta, enters Google Play Store.
Here is some good news to start the day with today. Swiftkey has come out of beta and is now live in Google Play Store.
After months in beta and tested by a large VIP community, Swiftkey is now ready for the big time and is live in the Google Play Store.
Swiftkey is arguably the best keyboard available for Android, with a version for phones and tablets, if you have never heard of Swiftkey Keyboard where have you been?!?! Here is what they say about it in their blog:
It's time. After months of work and refinement by our team of developers, we are proud to officially unveil SwiftKey 3. It learns how you think to type what you mean. It's the best keyboard we've ever made and we're extremely proud to share it with you.
Today the rest of SwiftKey's users can access SwiftKey 3 for the first time. Here's what's new:
Smart Space – adding to SwiftKey's already cutting edge correction, Smart Space detects mistyped or omitted spaces across strings of sloppily typed words in real-time.
Two new themes – a new theme, 'Cobalt', to match SwiftKey's new look and feel, and an Ice Cream Sandwich-styled 'Holo' theme, as voted for by SwiftKey's VIP community.
An enhanced UI – a much larger space bar and smart punctuation key help improve accuracy and make it quick and easy to access common punctuation.
Additional languages – SwiftKey 3 now offers support for an additional seven languages, bringing the total up to 42. The new languages are Korean, Estonian, Farsi, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian and Serbian.
And here is some even better news. For the first week of launch Swifkey is half-price and it is a FREE UPGRADE for Swiftkey X users!

Summer in Kilkee
Poem by: Mr Benn
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
From George's head to the Pollock holes
The wind blows hard and the water rolls
People struggle up the strand
Raincoats on, umbrellas in hand
Hats fly off across the beach
Always blowing out of reach
Hardy swimmers brave the sea
As darkness falls at ten past three
Across the sky thunder crashes
Out over the bay lightning flashes
Torrential rain rips thru' the air
Girls try in vain to save their hair
All run like mad in search of cover
A distraught babe wails for his mother
Beach now deserted, sad, forlorn
Windbreaks abandoned, tattered, torn
Is this some freak storm from o'er the sea?
No, its just summer in Kilkee!

Excellent meter and rhyme. Ireland is one place I've yet to go and really hope to get there one day. Your imagery is beautiful .
Beautifully evoked, great rhythm and excellent rhyming. Actually feels like the rhythm of walking round Kilkee on such a day! That mix between getting out for a walk, and wanting to get back into the warmth as soon as possible! Really enjoyed it, thanks.
We are publishing a new book on Kilkee this summer called "Kilkee Moments" and it is for a charitable organisation called The Kilkee Marine Rescue Service, it is mainly photographic. We are wondering if you woulld mind if we published your poem in our book? More details can be found on our website www.kilkeemoments.ie or our facebook page, also called "Kilkee Moments", we will look forward to your response!
Kind Regards
That's fantastic, thanks! Would you like to be accredited as Mr Benn, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com if you wish to be accredited otherwise? Thanks again!
If you could include my name, Jamie McGowan, I would be delighted. Really looking forward to seeing the book. Kilkee is a brilliant place. My wifes family have been spending summers ther since her mother was a toddler so going on 70+ years.

Food Service Professionals
The module Food Service Professionals use is called Lunch. The Lunch module services both breakfast and lunch. Included with the Lunch module is the Point of Sale (POS) Software.
The lunch module has recently gone through some significant changes. Lunch transaction records now have the capacity to store additional details, especially with regard to how or why a student was directly certified as free or otherwise determined to have a free or reduced lunch status. Also, some processes and reports have been updated to take advantage of these new details. Click here to read more.
We have recently released comprehensive Lunch documentation for Next-Gen clients. Click here to download.
In general, Food Service Professionals set up JMC in the following way:
The lead Food Service Professional has the JMC Office program on their office computer to complete the following steps:
- Review family and student lunch account information.
- Determine Free or Reduced Status for students and print the reply letter with all federally mandated information.
- Set up Breakfast, Lunch, and A La Carte prices.
- Send low balance notices home to parents/guardians via email, USPS, or the student.
- Run reports for end of the month reporting and analyze lunch information.
Any computer in the "lunch line" must have the Point of Sale (POS) software loaded onto it to record Breakfast and Lunch transactions. The POS software can be loaded onto as many computers as you would like, but each user will need their own user name and password. When customers enter the "lunch line" there are a variety of ways to identify who the customer is. Customers are able to:
- State their last and first name. This process is free but is the slowest way to identify the purchaser.
- State or type in their Student number (or ID Number). This process is free and is a very quick and easy way to determine who the customer is. Schools have had students from ages 4-18 remember their student numbers successfully and easily.
- Pass a bar code under a bar code scanner. Customer bar codes can be printed, at no cost, from the Lunch module. A 3rd party bar code scanner must be purchased for this option to work.
- Various other methods of identification can also be used including finger print scanners. These are 3rd party hardware options. Contact us if you are interested in these other options.
- Online Parent Access allows parents/guardians to view family balances, their students' up-to-date balances and what they have eaten on a daily basis throughout the year. In addition, we do work with 3rd party software to allow parents to deposit money into their accounts with a credit card.
- Roll all of the account balances over from the previous year in Lunch: Data Setup: Import Account Balances From Previous Year.
- Import students' lunch status from the previous year in Lunch: Data Setup: Import Free and Reduced Status From Previous Year.
- Delete any Lunch accounts that will not be used for the current year.
- If you use Family Lunch Accounts, create lunch contacts for all new students using Lunch: Data Setup: Initialize Family Lunch Contacts. This should not be done until all primary contacts have been entered in the Attendance module and attached to each student.
- Adjust lunch contacts for any students who have lunch contacts that are different than their primary contact.
- (Optional) Enter the state and federal reimbursements in Lunch: Data Setup: Edit Meal Prices.
- For all parents/guardians who applied for free or reduced status, determine free and reduced status in Lunch: Free/Reduced: Determine Free or Reduced Status.
- New Teachers/Office/Administrator/Staff should have a lunch account created for them. This is done by creating each of them as a new student and making their grade level "A." This means they are recorded as an adult. The Lunch module needs every adult to be in a price group so you will need to choose a price group from the pop-up menu. (It usually doesn't matter which price group you choose because adults typically pay the same price no matter what price group they are in). Uncheck their Attend, State Reporting, Rank, and Honor Roll flags/boxes in the General tab. You can leave the Active flag/box checked or uncheck it. Now that adults are in their own grade level many schools will leave it checked so they can print labels, send emails, run reports etc. for the adults entered in JMC. Also, you can only see/edit adults by choosing the "Adult" grade level in the pop-up menu on the top right corner of the screen.
The POS program is used to charge student, adult, staff, guest meals and a la carte items.
We have the following resources to help you learn more about the POS program.
- The POS instructional video is a great instuctional video for those who are new to the POS program or for food service professionals who want a refresher. Click here to watch the POS instructional video.
- The Lunch documentation contains a section on the POS program. Click here to download the Lunch documentation.
- If you are brand new to the POS program you can click on the "Practice" tab on this page and download and use a practice POS program. This may require some help from your technology professional.
If you are a new Food Service Professional at your school complete the following steps to learn how to use the Lunch module and POS (Point of Sale).
Watch Instructional Videos Click here to watch "Setting up Lunch." Click here
A. Click here to watch the Lunch Overview
B. Click here to watch Setting up Lunch
D. Click here to watch Lunch Reports
- Explore the Lunch module after you have watched the instructional videos to gain familiarity with the program. If you would like to explore/practice a with a demonstration school, click on the "Practice" tab on this page. Some new users feel much more comfortable exploring a demonstration database then their own school.
- Download and review the Starting the 2016 - 2017 School Year Checklist - This checklist is the tool every lead Food Service Professional should use to make sure they are starting the school year correctly. This lays out all the steps that need to be taken to start the school year in a simple-to-understand and easy-to-follow format. Click here to download. The Lunch module steps are found on page 4 of this document.
- Make yourself familiar with the Food Service Professionals user page. As we add new features to JMC, resources for these features will be listed on this page if they are applicable to Food Service Professionals.
- Download the Lunch documentation by clicking here.
- If further training is needed two options are offered to you from JMC:
- The tech support line can answer any question you have Monday - Friday from 8:00 - 4:30 CST. The phone number is 800.524.8182.
- You can set up hands-on web training where a JMC trainer can work with you over the phone and view your computer, with your permission, to go over any questions you have. Click here to download a training request form and fax it to us at least two weeks prior to the day you are requesting training.
Are you interested in trying a demonstration copy of the POS (Point of Sale) program or the Lunch module in the JMC office program?
You can follow the directions below to download a folder to your desktop and try out the POS program and the office program without worrying about working with real student data. If you haven't already done so it is strongly recomended that you view the Lunch Overview and JMC POS Point of Sale Software instuctional videos before you start practicing. The folder you will download will contain the following items:
- The DJMC Data Folder and the DJMC Transcripts Folder. These folders contain the demonstration data you will be working with.
- The JMC POS District v4.3 application. This is the red POS application that will allow you practice charging student lunches.
Please Note: This process may require some help from your technology professional. We strongly encourage you to have your technology professional help you with this process. If at any time you need help with this process please call tech support at 800.524.8182 x1.
Download, to your desktop, the correct folder below.
Click here for Windows computers Click here for Macintosch/Apple computers
- Double click on the folder to unzip the folder. (If you are using a Windows computer you will need to Extract all Files.)
- Double click on the POS program.
When you double click on the icon it will ask you to select/find the:
- Macintosh/Apple computers point to the DJMC Data Folder. This folder is located in the same folder as the application.
- Windows computers point to the JMC file STUDENTS which is located in the DJMC Data Folder. This folder is located in the same folder as the application.
- Next it will ask you to find the Transcripts folder.
- Now it will ask you which building you want to work with. For the purposes of the demo choose JMC Instructional CSD. Hit OK.
Enter the user name: JMCADMIN
Enter the password: demo
- Now you can start using the program.
- If you are using the POS program you can use Student #'s 1 - 29 in the Student box to identify the student.
- Very Important: After you are done practicing with this demonstration data you need to put it in the trash/recycle bin! You do not want to accidentally go into this program after you have started the school year.
How are Adults handled in the Lunch module? Follow the directions below.
- New Teachers/Office/Administrator/Staff should have a lunch account created for them. This is done by creating each of them as a new student and making their grade level "A." This means they are recorded as an adult.
- The Lunch module needs every adult to be in a price group so you will need to choose a price group from the pop-up menu. (It usually doesn't matter which price group you choose because adults typically pay the same price no matter what price group they are in).
- Uncheck their Attend, State Reporting, Rank, and Honor Roll flags/boxes in the General tab. You can leave the Active flag/box checked or uncheck it. Now that adults are in their own grade level many schools will leave it checked so they can print labels, send emails, run reports etc. for the adults entered in JMC.
- Also, you can only see/edit adults by choosing the "Adult" grade level in the pop-up menu on the top right corner of the screen.

Everything Labour. Every weekday morning.
Watch Yvette Cooper being questioned by Andrew Marr on her leadership ambitions:
Oh come on. This really is a non-story. What did she actually say? 1) The bookies are rubbish – look how wrong they called Bradford West 2) She isn't happy with her current job because she wants to be the actual Home Sec (with Ed M as PM) not the Shadow one. Why are people trying to turn this into a plot against Miliband?
I think she handled it very well.
Yep. I agree completely. Very loyal despite what some would like to see.
The BBC truble making again.,
Trouble, of course I meant. typo
There isn't a vacancy
When has that stopped an interviewer from trying to make a story, he pushed it by saying yes but what if.
It would have been easy for her to have said well, yes if.
Obviously you're not talking about the "vacancy" between many a politician's ears.
What is laughable is that some people think that Yvette Cooper as Labour leader would make more people trust and turn to Labour than Ed Miliband. Talk about grasping at squaws… sorry… straws.
I beg your pudding!
Squaws Jesus mate is that what you think of women squaws
Got something against Algonquians Robert?
very funny.
No, treborc. But it IS what I think of Yvette Cooper.
Well over the years labour has come to be what it is, middle class middle of the road party for careerists, you have most Union these days run by people who see the labour party as a second source of income.
Life I suspect
What any serious leader of Labour should state irrevocably now is that there will never be any accommodation with the LiBDem MPs who are now in Parliament. They are charlatans, all of them. After their rabid denunciation of Labour's 'authoritarianism', they have supported a government which is introducing expanded surveillance of electronic communications by GCHQ. You cannot negotiate with deceit and hypocrisy. They are mere lickspittles and despicable.
" there will never be any accommodation with the LiBDem MPs who are now in Parliament"
Fat chance. Ancient Westminster proverb: When ministerial limousines are waiting, deals will be done.
Probably futile, but please consider signing the petition:
Yvette Cooper,
Jeff you have a solid point. Yvette Cooper talks a real good job.
This is the criteria you need for Labour Leader.
1. Attend an Oxbridge university
2. Visit your constituency office once a week on Friday.
3. Live in London
4. Have your children attend a school in London and not in you local constituency.
5. Go to Harvard university as a visiting lecturer.
6. No life experience
7. No link or familiarities to those that you represent (working class)
8. Be unpopular with your local members and constituents.
9. Be out of touch with the community, labour party members and society as a whole
10. Favoured for a safe seat (Parachuted by stealth)
11. Go on Andrew Marr on a Sunday morning because it easy to do so because I live in
12. Hold a monopoly in the party (The few political elite preching the many)
13. Have links to Unite or a major union.
14. Run the country whilst eating lasagne at tea time.
Quitely frankly. Is the party not getting the message. Members want better candidates, not more of the same candidates. Bradford is not a one off. People are turned off by politicians like this who are full of their self importance and ignorance. They have no real community in their blood, placing their careers before the people. Bradford has sent a message you can win a seat by changing tactics.
When MP's are campaigning in the constituencies they don't represent, they turn up on a friday to do a surgery or visit their constituency office, attend think tank conferences and residential weekends, have summer of (three months break), easter off and xmas off, attend two labour labour party conferences, stay in London all week etc….when do they have time to represent and speak to their local constituents
£62,000 pounds of taxpayers money sorry, £250,000 pounds of taxpayers money to fund an office that does not function for the people it represents.
Now call me a cynic
The party of privilege, not the party of the people.
14 points that paint a true picture of the appalling Ms Cooper.
The reason Ms Cooper never strays from the party line is because she needs the party "advisers" to tell her what to say . . . line by line!
Ah yes but of course she is secret weapon for Labour, when all else fails have your self a lady leader, labour Thatcher.
It's been said if all else fails ring for a red or pale bluer Thatcher, I can see it now New labour has Thatcher, swing voters return home.
But she is not, she is red, she stands up for the working class, sadly dreaming.
Nonsense. And Bradford West was a one off!
Prove it
What do you mean "prove it", I mean is your brain moribund or perhaps that is not worth answering since the answer is pretty obvious. The fact of the matter is that George Galloway stood in a seat with a massive Asians and Muslim population, where is very able to whip up racial tensions in order to gain support. He did that successfully in Bethnal Green and Bow, which was an extremely safe constituency and an area which was Labour for fifty five years before Galloway took in 2005. Labour knowing Bradford West was a relatively safe seat were utterly complacent and no one genuinely believed that Galloway would take the seat, even hours before the count. This gave him an opportunity to campaign hard on the issues he spoke about like the Afghanistan War and how much Labour abandoned them. This is the only reason why Galloway stood in that seat. But because he is very strategic and intelligent, he is also a great speaker and a charismatic man which appealed to a lot of voters. Also, he demolished the Lib Dem vote and the Tory vote too, which is a place where they need to make headway or reduce majorities if they want a majority at the next election – they flattened completely. But there is only one George Galloway and no seat that he can win. It is an absolute one-off.
I can't believe that Politique genuinely thinks that Bradford West wasn't a one-off. This is just his plot for the Labour Party to move into a loony left position! Nonsentical.
I suppose having George Galloway elected is the same as the one off elected English Democrat Mayor of Doncaster.
And the green Party MP Caroline Lucas…a one off.
Ed Miliband beating his brother who was odds on favourite…a one off.
Boris Johnson was a one off according to Red Ken
I can't believe that the Labour Party actuallythinks that Ken Livingstone will become London Mayor.
They will hoping for a one off.
Evan as a socilaist, I admit we need charisma in a leader.
I am not totally convinced by him yet – he still wavers too far to the right – but Chuck Umanna is head and shoulders above any other Labour politician I see on TV or in other media today. I am sorry he flirted with Blue Labour and I know he went to a private school (at least they were very minor ones).
He should be way ahead of Yvette in terms of who we think of next.
[If it were a woman by the way, I would support Harriet Harman. It is ludicrous that in the UK we write off politicians over 50. Harriet is 61, and has at least 20 years more fire in here belly…]
Yes, Harriet is a very good performer and nearly always nails the argument.
Chuka needs to improve his street cred and ditch the New Labour vapidity – your 'Chuck' is the way to go. When/if it comes to his first general election as leader his slogan should be: "Chuck Um says F*ck um!"
Brilliant. You should email that suggestion to his office.
Have people not learned? Having Cooper/Balls/David Milliband/etc. would be more of the same of what we currently have.
The only options after the next election defeat are:
Chuka Umunna
Jim Murphy
With Andy Burnham also a slight possibility.
Chukka Ummuna is handpicked by Miliband. Another London dinner part attendee. No. Andy Burnham not a bad choice though
Doomed we are all doomed!
Tony Blair, Cherie Blair, come on a lot believe in the second coming of new labour.
I think that very clearly means "YES"
If she where to become leader and then PM we would have PM Cooper and Co-PM Balls
I'm rooting for Andy Burnham
Everything Labour. Every weekday morning

Unfortunately no. The only options for mass changes involve deletion and reclassifying. People have asked for that feature request so you may want to search the Feature Requests forum and add your spiciness to the thread to hopefully get the feature added.

My alarm went off urhh sometimes I hate being the prefect, I slip out of bed and put on the school uniform, Black plieted skirt,shite blouse with a crimen red bow(crimsen red tie for boys) and a blazer. I had boots on so I could run and jump with ease. I went and washed my face and looked at my reflection, I had a angelic face and my eyes were deep red, framed with long black eye lashes, I need to feed soon I thought. I tied my hair in two hight pony tails and it still trialed down my wavy. No too childish so I left falling lossly down my back and I had a little cresent moon clip in my hair.
As a prefect I have to check the school is safe before any studant step foot inthe school. I walk out my room and check the girls dorm. its a spacious buling and each room catures to a different creatures need. the whole school is an fashion vitorian style and if a human could you would feel an eeire atmsphere but it makes me feel at home.
The whole school was safe,like always ut you never know who could be lurking around the cornor.
I walked into the school cafertia and went to the blood vending machine. I slot the money and sighed, yes it satified my thirst but it want as good as the real thing.
Alow husky voice whispersin my ear "arhh yes that blood never as good as the real thing is Midnight" I gasped quickly moved away from the voice, and pulled out my weapon which look like about a metal pole when I press it, it shoots aout and is a lot longer and will electicute however I hit it with.
I turned and face the owner of the voice, No it couldnt me A tall muscular man and I smart black suite bloned shaggy hair that nearly coverd his wonderful steel eyes,it was Mr James.
I put my weapon away blushed and bowed my head Im in trouble !! he chuckled at me "Im sorry sir I didnt realise it was you Mr james please is there anything I can do to make it better"
he laughed even loud and it made my heart skip a beat "Yes theres one thing stop saying sorry and dont be so formal Midnight call me Orlando I was called that for a reason" I stood up proply and opened my can of blood and sips I look at him he just smiles at me. I blush teachers normally ignore me why was he different.

Apple may "revamp" all iOS displays in 2014

Yes please. The only time that I'll switch my GS4 to an iPhone is when they switch to at least a 5" screen.
4. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Not going yo happen anytime soon. If they jump ship a larger screen size, expect 4.3" at max. Fragmentation will occur if they jump straight into the 5" territory.
16. HansGoneInsane (unregistered)
Hopefully not more then 4.7". I really don't want a larger device than that. They might bring a Phablet as well. Who knows. At least it looks like that Apple is not willing to let the same happen to its tablets as to its iPhones because Apple differentiates its iPads much better and faster than its iPhones.
64. Luuthian (Posts: 268; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
I agree... I'm not a fan of screen sizes greater than 4.5". I like operating my phone efficently with one hand. Operating my old Galaxy Nexus with one hand was a pain in the ass.
72. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3733; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Please explain further, Smurf. The last increase in screen was by .5". Why would they only go to 4.3" at max next time? Also, it would seem to me that making the phone much bigger would allow them to quadruple the resolution (go to 2272x1280) easier. Not saying that that's what Apple is planning on doing, but doubling both dimensions would actually reduce fragmentation, would it not?
2. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
What Apple needs to do is at least offer a display with at least a HD resolution. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to keep 640p in 2013?
3. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Because the masses will still buy it.
5. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Selling the same display dimensions for three years in a row is what I call stubborn. The hell with this company.
7. brrunopt (Posts: 742; Member since: 15 Aug 2013)
no, it's actually being smart.
Because people will always buy the "new" iPhone , and by keeping it the same Apple makes even more money...
8. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
You can call it stubborn, but the customer satisfaction numbers continue to be "through the roof" of any leading flag ship smartphone.
10. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I see your point, but for a company that brags about them having the most innovative OS in the world, it can't support 720p resolution for their smart phones. The iPhone needs a complete 360 in design, inside and out.
12. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
The 5S is my first iPhone. I tried android for 2+ years and with the 5S' 64-bit processor, there's simply no comparison.
I approached some strangers to engage in speed tests using wifi. These android users had the latest smart phones and they were just as curious to see the 5S in action. It was no contest running speed tests on testmyspeed.com or testmy.net (we ran the test 3 times on each site). The 5S is no joke -- it's a beast of a device.
Apple got one thing right with the 5S -- they made sure the end user will have a great web surfing experience.
14. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4708; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
Lots of people like Miley Cyrus, what's that say?
17. sipha (Posts: 438; Member since: 12 May 2012)
yeah, completely agree the should have atleast introduced a 720p resolution this year so the apps could catch up with new resolution..and then jump 4.3" screen in 2014!! [or even 4.5"]
19. DukeX (Posts: 327; Member since: 28 Aug 2013)
Of course it's going to have high customer satisfaction because it's the SAME PHONE EVERY YEAR. And as far as those speed test. Look man for god sake the os is limited.How do you think it will do in a speed test. I notice you didn't mention features on the 5s. Because that's it's main weak point. Thise people with those flagships could probably care less about some speed test. They are too busy with multi windows and real multitasking.
21. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
a great web surfing experience on a 4" screen? LMAO
Yeah good luck with that, hope you dont get astigmatism staring at that tiny screen. now the nexus 7 2013 is a great web surfing experience.
22. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
This Android guy is using an iPhone 5S for 30 days to compare it with Android:
23. GeekyGene (Posts: 88; Member since: 25 Aug 2013)
What do you mean a 360 in design *inside* and out though? You do not consider the A7 to be worthwhile? I think they are doing pretty darn well on the innards, since they started doing their own silicon designs. The A7 is a beast despite running at only 1.3Ghz and being Dual Core.
25. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
So we're supposed to believe total strangers had a speed test against your new phone? ok
26. GeekyGene (Posts: 88; Member since: 25 Aug 2013)
You mistake ease of use and simplicity, with 'limited'. That is not why the device is fast. You know iOS is derived from OSX (as in UNIX)... the fact the front end is simple and easy to use does not make the OS itself "limited".
27. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
It's actually limited. Basic tasks are much simpler and easier on Android.
29. GeekyGene (Posts: 88; Member since: 25 Aug 2013)
This >was the point.
This >is you.
See how they are not near each other?
30. tedkord (Posts: 13238; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Are you implying that internet speed tests are an indication of processing power?
31. tedkord (Posts: 13238; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
The fact that so much functionality is left or makes it limited.
33. 9thWonderful (Posts: 232; Member since: 24 Jan 2013)
says you, the average salary commenter on a cell phone forum...yet w/out 720p resolution & a so-called outdated OS Apple continues to hit solid figures in terms of money made from iPhone alone & contains a very loyal customer base. numbers show that they don't need a 360 redesign...at least not yet.
34. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
You went up to total strangers and ran tests... Yeah ok buddy lol.
iPhones have some of the worst wifi performance of any smartphone. Put an iPhone 5S next to a S4, Oppo Find 5, HTC One, or Note 3 and all will score more than the iPhone does (Speedtest.net app).
35. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
36. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
No, I don't. Design, screen size, screen resolution, NFC, larger battery capacity, and camera all need to change with the new iPhone. The whole rehashing things from last model is doing more harm than good. And don't even bother playing the "9 million iPhones sold" card. It was 9 million shipped.
42. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Dude, let's be honest here... I'm tired of people and their "the device x is my first x brand device and its much better than my previous brand y device" anyone with some time posting around here should easily know you have been an apple fanboy from day 1 not only having arguments on how much you love iOS but you also lacked basic android knolege and frequented posted links to what it seemed to be your blog so we would see your post (reason witch got you banned once if I remember correctly). If papa or xperia where the ones posting this I would believe them but since its you I doubt it
48. mattmasi303 (Posts: 18; Member since: 04 Jul 2013)
*the latest smartphones* lol sounds like bs to me, and ican run 4 different speed test apps on my home wifi can get way different speeds. You can hand a iphone 5 to any iphone user and call it a 5S and you wouldn't see a difference in how they perform..

An Amish couple who are in hiding with their daughter plan to pursue their legal arguments to make healthcare decisions for her, even if judges allow a court-appointed guardian to withdraw from a campaign to put her through cancer treatments.
Andy and Anna Hershberger are appealing a court decision that allowed the guardian to step in. The Amish couple said they were not objecting to the treatment for religious reasons but because they believe the chemotherapy was killing 11-year-old Sarah. Meanwhile, the guardian says she cannot contact the family and has asked to withdraw from the case.
The Hershbergers say assigning a guardian to have the final say robbed them of their constitutional rights. They are appealing under the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment that voters approved in 2011. The amendment prohibits any law from forcing Ohioans to participate in "a healthcare system".
The appeal marks the first time a court has been asked to determine the scope of the amendment, which was largely thought to be a symbolic vote against President Barack Obama's healthcare overhaul, under the Affordable Care Act.
Maurice Thompson, of the libertarian 1851 Center for Constitutional Law in Ohio, helped draft the state amendment and is now representing the Hershbergers.
"Allowing an uninterested third party, one that has never even met the family or the child, to assert an interest in an exceedingly important parental decision will completely undermine the parent-child relationship," Thompson said in a filing with the Ohio supreme court.
Doctors say Sarah's leukaemia is treatable, but say she would die within a year without chemotherapy. Still, the Hershbergers decided last summer to halt the cancer treatments for Sarah because they said the chemotherapy was making her too sick. Instead, they decided to use natural medicines, such as herbs and vitamins.
The hospital went to court to force the family to continue chemotherapy. A guardian, Maria Schimer, an attorney who is also a registered nurse, was given the power to make medical decisions for Sarah.
But the girl and her parents, who normally live in an Amish community about 40 miles south-west of Cleveland, went into hiding more than four months ago, in order to avoid the chemotherapy. They do not plan to return to their farm until the guardian is removed, their attorney has said.

Obama Confident NSA Proposal Will Protect U.S. From Terrorism
President Obama says he's confident his new proposal on National Security Agency spying and retention of telephone data will allow the U.S. to deal with the dangers of terrorism.
During a news conference today at the Nuclear Security Summit in the Hague, Obama said because of the revelations of widespread NSA spying, the U.S. must win back the trust of ordinary citizens and foreign governments.
The President is expected to ask Congress to end much of the government's collection and holding of phone data and records.

Don't Know What To Do?
Illegal Drug Use in Utero
National incidence rates have been estimated of infants exposed to legal and illegal drugs in utero. A pilot study of 36 primarily urban hospitals estimated that 11 percent of all infants are exposed to alcohol or other drugs in utero each year (Chasnoff, 1989c). These figures are among the highest estimates and are probably the ones most often cited by persons advocating that increased resources be directed to this problem. The American Academy of Pediatrics (1990) estimates that one of every 10 newborns in the United States has been exposed to an illicit drug. The U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) (1990) reviewed data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey, and found a much lower number of drug-exposed infants - fewer than 14,000. However, the GAO acknowledges that these figures represent a substantial undercount because not all women or infants are screened or tested for exposure.
Examining the same database (hospital discharges), and adjusting for underreporting, other investigators estimated that about 38,000 drug-exposed babies were born in 1987. This study also found an estimated 361 percent increase in the number of drug-exposed newborns between 1979 and 1987, with most of the increase occurring after 1983. The authors cited data suggesting that the increase in incidence slowed significantly after 1988 (Dicker and Leighton, 1991).
Drug Exposed Infants- Local Statistics
Local studies suggest that a large number of newborns were exposed to drugs, with the number rising sharply during the 1980s:
- New York City - From 1983 through 1987, the number of babies exposed to drugs in utero rose from 7.9 to 20.3 per 1,000 births. In 1989, more than 5,000 babies were born drug exposed. One Brooklyn hospital reported that 14 percent of newborns tested positive for cocaine.
- Dallas, Denver, Oakland, Philadelphia, and Houston - All these cities reported threefold to fourfold increases in the number of drug-exposed infants born between 1985 and 1988 (Kandall, 1991b).
- Boston - In 1984, a city hospital reported that 17 percent of mothers reported the use of an illicit drug at least once during pregnancy and 8 percent reported the use of cocaine. A later study (1989) in the same hospital showed that 31 percent of pregnant women had used marijuana and 18 percent had used cocaine (Khalsa and Gfroerer, 1991). (Although not yet fully documented, there is a new trend of increased heroin use throughout the country - a phenomenon not unusual given the increased use of cocaine. Historically, whenever a cocaine epidemic subsides, it is followed by an increase in heroin usage.)
More reliable national data may be forthcoming in the near future. The National Pregnancy and Health Survey, sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, will provide data on the prevalence of licit and illicit drug use by pregnant women, as well as limited data on infant birth weight and length of hospital stay. These data are eagerly awaited by researchers and practitioners in the field and will certainly be useful. However, additional epidemiologic and etiologic studies will be needed to determine the extent of the problem of infant exposure to licit and illicit drugs (Khalsa and Gfroerer, 1991).
Difficulties Obtaining National Data
Difficulties in obtaining national data are due in part to problems in diagnosing in utero drug exposure, especially to cocaine. As summarized by Bandstra and Burkett (1991), these problems include: 1) the unreliability of mothers' self-reports, 2) the limitations of urine toxicology techniques, and 3) the nature of observable clinical conditions (for example, prematurely, intrauterine growth retardation) associated with drug exposure, many of which require lengthy differential diagnoses and have multiple complex etiologies besides drug exposure. These problems are compounded when women do not self-report due to fear of prosecution.
Another reason for sketchy and inconsistent national data is the lack of uniformity in hospital policies and procedures for maternal and infant drug screening and testing. In the GAO study cited previously, medical records were examined at a small sample of hospitals. Some hospitals had no protocol for drug testing, whereas others tested only if the mother reported drug use or the infant showed signs of drug exposure. In hospitals serving primarily non-Medicaid patients, drug screening was notably less practiced, with over half of the hospitals having no protocol for identifying drug use during pregnancy. Lack of uniform hospital policies and procedures results in prejudicial and inaccurate detection practices, which may lead to stigmatization of minority children and differential approaches by social service agencies.
Dicker and Leighton (1991) point out a third possible reason for widely differing epidemiologic estimates by drawing a distinction between "drug-exposed" and "drug-affected" infants. Drug-exposed infants have been exposed to a drug or drugs (even if only once) during the mother's pregnancy. In contrast, drug-affected infants are found at birth to have symptoms diagnosed by hospital staff that are due to drug use by the mother. Thus, being drug affected is a subset of being drug exposed in epidemiologic studies, but it is not always clear which variable is being studied. Please note that in this report, the term "drug-exposed" is used for infants and children with a history of maternal drug abuse during pregnancy and for infants who have exhibited observable effects of maternal drug abuse and who have had a positive toxicology screen at birth. The term "drug" in this report refers to legal and illegal drugs.

We had a super trip and a nice stay. Plenty of space and super service. We will be back... :-)
We already had a very nice contact with Albertino. We could ask him everything :) Albertino gave us also a fantastic taxidriver! We had to wait for a missing bag, but the driver was so nice and kindley and wited the whole time! The appartment was fantastic! Very central, clean, nice livingroom and lots of sleeping rooms. We had two bathrooms and a nice kitchen. Thank you so much for a fantastic weekend in beautiful Lisbon!
This Holiday flat is in a great location, a few minutes from the metro and under ten minutes from the train station. It was comfortable for six single persons, my only major complaint was there wasn't enough cooking pots and pans (Yes, I like to cook!).
We were given a friendly welcome by one of the staff and a adequate induction for the flat. The flat was was in a clean and orderly state. During our stay we had two problems; one power cut, WiFi stopped working for a couple of days. However in both cases, the response was quick and resolved.
Overall we were given good service and the apartment was well decorated and functional.
We were 6 people who lived in the apartment and all had major problems with noise from the roads around. It was not air conditioned and very hot inside. The distance to the center was a little long. It was not pleasant in the living room. I would not stay here again.
Paulo was very friendly and gave us useful information . The apartment was clean and well located . It was a great stay in Lisbon . We would always like to go back to this apartment again . Price performance was fine
Albertino has been an amazing host. He has been helpful and nice. His house is beautiful, warm (quite important at night in Lisbon), full of light, quiet, clean... We really loved to stay there and for sure we are going to repeat the experience asap. THANK YOU
Beautiful appartment with a REAL splendid view. comfortable, quiet, and very well located for exploring Lisbon. The welcome was friendly, it's perfect. I am very satisfied, Franck.
Everything was fine and Paul was very friendly. Recommend it absolutely!

Country: Ghana,
Type: Humanitarian & Community Development , Medical & Health Care, Teaching & Education, Working with children,
While we have a placement at a home specifically for mentally and physically disabled children, you may also find that there are some children with disabilities in the orphanages and other care placements sites as well. In whichever volunteer care project in Ghana you find yourself, you need to be ready for a challenge.
Many of the children are desperate for attention and there will undoubtedly be children present who have health problems and who need special attention due to disabilities.
