Published: 20th Jun 2014
The government's plans to improve rural broadband have been criticised by a Liberal Democrat MP.
Writing for the Mirror, MP for Wells Tessa Munt said the coaltion looks likely to miss its target of providing super-fast availability to 90 per cent of homes by 2015.
She then claimed the fact the government has allowed BT to begin the rollout of improved services in urban areas - which already have a good level of connectivity - first before moving out into the countryside is "completely mad".
"What 'superfast rural broadband' means to me is starting in those parts of England with no coverage and working back into the towns. Not the other way round," Ms Munt stated.
She went on to discuss the problems a lack of fast internet access causes for the people in her constituency.
"If you don't have a decent broadband connection, life is made harder and sometimes, the best deals - or even your best business opportunities - can pass you by."
She claimed the government should not assume that everyone with a computer will be able to access broadband speeds like those available in London.
Ms Munt revealed she is finding it challenging to learn which areas in constituency will not receive super-fast connectivity through the government rollout.
The MP said people who are going to miss out have a right to know in advance as this will allow them to look into alternatives, such as satellite broadband. However, she claimed BT has said it does not know which areas will not have access to improved connectivity.
Ms Munt concluded by saying she is worried the government has been "taken to the cleaners" by BT, which must be "laughing all the way to its bank".
The Lib Dem politician is not the first to express concerns about the coaltion's plans for rural broadband, as the Public Accounts Committee has been highly critical of the scheme in recent months.
It has questioned whether public money is being spent effectively and has accused the government of allowing BT to establish a monopoly. This view was supported by the Independent Networks Cooperative Association and other campaign groups.

After tonight's public meeting in Madison County, the kindest thing I can say about State Senator Shadrack McGill (SD-08) is that he needs to spend more time with his mouth shut and his mind open. During a sometimes-contentious public meeting in Madison County tonight, McGill got just one friendly question – about widening Winchester Road – and he couldn't answer it. He did answer numerous other questions about women's health, religion, education funding, tax reform, and state employee retirement.
We'll have a lot of fun video up soon, but the entire event lasted about 90 minutes so editing will take a while. A few highlights though….
I haven't had that much fun at a public meeting since angry Save Alabama PACT parents confronted Kay Ivey with questions about her competence. Let's just say that nobody would even bother to question Senator McGill's competence because his lack of it is splayed out in full living color.
- McGill lamented that last term, he got just one call (from a pastor) in support of the legislature's 7 anti-abortion bills, but got thousands of calls about the budget, education, and other issues. McGill seemed genuinely puzzled that people were more interested in "bills pertaining to money more than morality."
When asked if perhaps that showed his constituents were indeed more worried about education, jobs, taxes, etc. than they were about abortion, McGill explained: "they just need to be educated."
- One of the legislative priorities that McGill listed in his PowerPoint presentation was that we needed to cut "unnecessary programs that are not proven to work" out of the education budget. When asked for specifics: "Which programs, Senator?" McGill couldn't name a single one. "I'm relying on you to tell me," he smirked.
- Once again, the Senator got lost in the verbal weeds as he once again tried to justify his statement that teachers don't need raises but legislators do "to stop corruption." The longer the poor guy talked about "balance," the more bizarre it got. If I can stand to watch that performance again, I'll post the video.
- McGill proclaimed that "God placed me here" in the Legislature. Wonder where they sent the voter registration card?
- To complete his Deity analogy, McGill complained about being "crucified" and "misquoted" by the press. Hey brother, we have it all on tape tonight!
- To McGill, "nothing is more important" than protecting fertilized eggs. In a truly bizarre answer about in-vitro fertilization, he turned it into an abortion discussion, describing a scenario where a woman would decide "on the spur of the moment" to have an abortion. Yeah… that happens all the time, right?
On a whim, she pulls into the clinic, asks the doctor "please kill the life inside me" and then asks the doctor – while he's at it – "please kill me too."
Would we allow that? McGill asked. Nobody in the audience responded because we were too busy wondering "WTF kind of drugs is this guy on?"
Hoping that whets your appetite enough for you to stay tuned for some of the scariest, most riveting video you'll see for a while.

We are trying not to think about next week so we can really enjoy this one
Sabrina is getting a good 'taste of her life to come' as she does a homestay with a Chinese teacher and her family. Sabrina is to teach English in exchange for Chinese lessons and room and board. We are very happy for Sabrina and her quest to learn Chinese and could not think of a more worthy challenge in light of how the Chinese are challenged here for academic, physical and artistic excellence. Chinese families aspire (save like crazy) to send their child to England to learn English (not the US or Canada) as it is considered to have the best academic system.
Observations this week:
1. Lots of wealth here and Hong Kong.
a. Guards limit the number of people allowed into the designer shops (Rolex, Prada, Louis Viton, Gucci etc.) as they stand in line down the streets in Hong Kong.
3. China is NOT the place to be fat (I know that is not PC back home but it is here)
a. Buildings under 8 floors don't require an elevator (used to be 10) compared to our 4 it' long climb and every extra once is too much to carry in the heat.
b. We order 20 liters of water each day that has to be carried up!
4. With about a billion people riding bicycles NONE of them wear helmets but cycle with an umbrella so they don't risk getting a sun tan.
a. Perhaps we should learn to drive and ride a bike and our streets would be safer.
5. Personal Space dimensions are much smaller here
a. I have observed driving that would cause the calmest pastor to 'flip the bird' or 'yell' in North America but here not even the slightest flinch
b. I was swimming at a local pool for swimming lengths and people will swim perpendicular to the lane and think nothing of cutting you off and interrupt your swimming even though the lanes are clearly labeled. Back home you would have a water riot!
6. Health is very important here
a. They drink tea before and after drinking tea – tea tea tea and more to tea!
i. Yet, you can be swimming in an outdoor pool and the lifeguard (looking like an Olympic swimmer) sitting guarding the pool smoking a cigarette!
Back in Greece, I had a dream to run a marathon from the city of its name sake (and origin of great battle at Marathon) to Athens last week but it became evident that the 40 degree heat was not my biggest problem but rather a hip that would not cooperate. I consulted my Specialist (aka my wife) as well triple confirmed her in China and my running days are over!! I must seek an alternative sport – how about competitive sweating? At the rate I'm sweating now – I will win gold!
We continue to have lots of laughs and making lots of memories – we hope YOU are too! Keep cool and we will chat next from the 'spicy and Panda province'!

Many law firms, irrespective of size, will use either the very senior or the very junior barristers for chancery work. The work in the middle range will be kept in-house.
The qualities considered most important in chancery barristers are clarity, perception, an ability to pay attention to technical detail and being able to provide a practical answer to a particular problem. The caveat is that clients do not necessarily want an extremely complicated tax scheme unless it is tried and tested – they do not want to litigate with the Inland Revenue if they can possibly avoid it.
On the more contentious side, or what may be considered the more commercial chancery practice, David Oliver QC at Thirteen Old Square "definitely comes in the top half dozen of chancery advocates", and Michael Lyndon-Stanford QC at the same set is "slightly unorthodox but can be very effective". Patrick Talbot QC, also at Thirteen Old Square who made his name in trusts-type work, is now doing more litigious chancery work.
Charles Aldous QC at 7 Stone Buildings is also "highly regarded".
At 3-4 South Square, there is more of an emphasis on liquidation and insolvency work. Michael Crystal QC "has a wonderful reputation," and, say solicitors, he is in great demand.
Gabriel Moss QC at the same set is also rated highly.
David Unwin QC at 7 Stone Buildings is said to be one of the brightest of the chancery barristers, "head and shoulders above the pack, with an absolutely daunting intellect, and a phenomenal grasp of the most complex issues which he is able to explain to clients in simple terms".
Named as one of the up and coming stars is Anthony Trace at Thirteen Old Square, while the slightly more junior Richard Hacker at 3-4 South Square, is considered "a real star".
Anthony Mann QC at Enterprise Chambers, headed by Benjamin Levy, is "friendly, bright and positive, with a good attitude". At Charles Sparrow's set at Thirteen Old Square, Frank Hinks is a senior-junior regarded very highly on trusts, and Elizabeth Jones is "careful and assiduous, slightly aggressive and is very good".
Where solicitors are dealing with traditional corporate practice or the corporate side of banking and commercial law, they tend to instruct a number of barristers who seldom have to appear in court.
Head of Erskine Chambers Richard Sykes QC is very rarely in court but "what he says is the law, is, very often, the law". Robin Potts QC and David Chivers of the same set are also often referred to.
Of the modern breed of barristers, instructed for example in cases involving fraud, Nigel Davis QC is "first class" and Guy Newey has impressed.
And at 4 Stone Buildings, headed by Peter Curry QC, names to watch include Anthony George Bompas QC and Malcolm Davis-White, as well as two Maxwell litigators John Brisby and Jonathan Crow.
Susannah Meadway at 8 Stone Buildings is another junior to keep an eye on.
Other barristers rated highly include Daniel Hochberg at 9 Old Square, and Leslie Michaelson at Enterprise Chambers.
At 17 Old Buildings, those regularly used and rated highly are John Child, Andrew Lloyd-Davies and Alexandra Mason.
On the chancery side of intellectual property work, Simon Thorley QC at 3 New Square is considered to be the leading QC, and the leading juniors are Andrew Waugh at the same set and Henry Carr at 11 South Square.
In the more esoteric area of charities, as well as chancery, Robert Venables QC at 24 Old Buildings is "practical, experienced and good for a bullish opinion".
Hubert Picarda QC at 10 Old Square is the "doyen of charity lawyers, who is always looked to for the definitive response".

Contrary to popular belief Nutella is not a healthy snack. Really! For some strange reason I always thought that Nutella provide some sort of nutritional value. We've quite often seen athletes promote this devilish spread but that's in Italy where Nutella originates from and lets face it they think pasta covered in cheese offers lots of nutritional value too!
So, I'm not surprised when my hubby asked me to bake him some Nutella Bars claiming them to be nutritional snacks. After two weeks of pleading to the point my 11 month old says "nack", I decided to make some Nutella Bars. I also wanted to clear out the pantry from nearly expired foods too so I thought to compromise and got creative and made another famous and adored Nutella Recipes.
Here it is the recipe for Nutella Hazelnut Bars.
Nutella Recipe for – Nutella Hazelnut Bars Recipe
Getting creative with Nutella – A dangerously delicious Nutella Hazelnut bars that won't last long in the fridge.

- Place the melted butter and graham cracker in the food processor and mix until combined. Once mixed place the graham cracker into the baking pan and spread evenly in the pan.

- Drizzle the hazelnuts evenly on top on the Nutella.
- Pour the can of condensed milk over the hazelnuts and Nutella.

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone's knitting is going smoothly.
I finished the Besotted scarf for my mom, and tonight started the Seaman's Scarf from Knitpicks for my dad.
The cable part of the pattern is a little confusing. Is it written the way it is in expectation that the knitter will do it without using a cable needle? Here's the cable section from the pattern:
[FONT=AJensonPro-Bold]8 Row Cable Sequence with 3 stitch garter stitch border:[/FONT] [FONT=AJensonPro-Bold]Row 1 of Cable Sequence (RS): [/FONT][FONT=AJensonPro-Regular]Slip 1 as if to purl with yarn in front, K2, * P2, slip next 6 stitches off left needle, use left needle to pick up the 2 far right stitches leaving the other four stitches in the front, use the right needle to place the middle 2 stitches on the left needle, finally use the right needle to place the far left 2 stitches[/FONT] [FONT=AJensonPro-Regular][I]onto the left needle, k6 * repeat between asterisks ending with P2, K3.[/I][/FONT]
It isn't truly complicated, but I haven't tried to do a cable pattern written like this before. Hope someone can advise me so I'll know what's going on!
IN the long run the cable is the same whether you work it with or without a cable needle, but perhaps this reading would make more sense to you.
Slip two stitches to right needle; place next 4 stitches on cable needle in front. Transfer the two slipped stitches to left needle. Slip two stitches from cable needle to right needle and then slip those two to the left needle. Slip remaining two stitches from the cable needle to the left needle. knit the 6 stitches.
Also beware I think there is a correction needed on that pattern. Keep in mind I did this 2 years ago and it was my first cable project, so maybe it has been corrected. If I recall they had you doing a knit stitch and it should have been a purl on the cable or visa versa. :shrug: It is a very cool scarf and my son really likes his. :yay: Good Luck!
Thank you for the rewriting! It was a little easier to slip the first two to the right needle than to bump them off the needle altogether. I know everyone says that not using a cable needle is easier and faster, but I like to be secure! :mrgreen:
Thanks again.
I think it must have been fixed, because I did three pattern repeats of the cable section last night and I can't see any glaringly wrong stitches. (That's just luck on my part!) The one problem I saw is that the info page says it has a moss stitch border, and it doesn't.
What color did you use? I'm doing my father's in a light gray, kind of a classic "sweatshirt" gray. I think it would look better in a cream or light woodsy color, but my color selection is very limited for this weight of yarn and this was the best color I could find. My LYS only had this gray, black, and burgundy (which I bought for my grandmother to make her the Ropes and Ladders scarf from Pieknits).
Glad I could help!

Fresh from my local gun shoppe. H&K P2000SK with factory lazer. I am not a huge fan of lazers in general but I like how compact the whole package is. Lite, small, and tight. Fits my hand like it was made for me. It's my first poly frame as well as my fist H&K too. I am impressed with H&K altogether.

I really like those sk. Nice weapon.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
Pretty gun. I like Hk too and have always thought the Sk fit my hand very well also. Just couldn't get past how much the Hk's cost.
Please do give us a range report after you shoot it the first time!

Wait 'til you shoot it! The P2000sk is a great pistol. The accuracy is astonishing. HK is a master of recoil control...you will be very happy with how it feels in your hand. Yes, they cost more than some, but they are worth every penny. I've carried one for a bit over three years now and it has yet to disappoint me in any way.I am impressed with H&K altogether.
Sometimes CDNN has USPc/P2000 10 round mags cheap, about $10. These fit and make range time more fun. They stick out the butt a bit, but who cares.
Enjoy your new HK, a great choice.
Congrats on a fine gun! You will not be dissapointed, HKs are great! The more you shoot it the more you will like it.

I have the p2000sk and love it! In fact I just ordered a P2000 to keep it company. Yes I know very similar handguns but I was looking for a new .40 and always came back to the H&K.
Registration: A prelude to Confiscation and Anarchy.
Nice-look forward ot the range report
Expecting a carjacker or rapist or drug pusher to care that his possession or use of a gun is unlawful is like expecting a terrorist to care that his car bomb is taking up two parking spaces.-Joseph T. Chew
I will post a range report as soon as I can break away from work and Easter activities with the kids. I have a range date scheduled for next Friday morning weather permitting. I also have 350 round of 9mm to keep me there for a few hours. I have handled and shot one of the H&K P2000 handguns before and it was the first poly frame that I enjoyed shooting. I did not get to shoot the P2000SK but it fits my hand even better that the P2000 does. I have smallish paws anyway.
Have you ever looked at the rifling (grooves) inside the barrell? It is machined unlike any other barrell I have ever seen. I did not notice it until I took it apart for a preliminary cleaning and lube. It is not a conventional rifling.....it's a smooth cupped twist inside the barrell that should make cleaning a breeze. I am not sure why they chose to cut them that way but I imagine that cut pattern is whay H&K has the accuracy reputation. The lack of deep grooves will keep the barrell wear to a minimum too. Unusual steel work though
2A is not negotiable
HK's polygonal barrels almost look like facets on a diamond. A bit different than Glocks plygonal shape.It is machined unlike any other barrell I have ever seen.
If you think the P2000sk is odd, look at it's older brother P7, a unique chamber.
Your going to love the SK. I have both the P2000 and the P2000SK. And they are by far my favorites. The recoil is good for such a small package and it aims very well. It will also eat anything. I have never had any FTF or FTE. Great choice and I look forward to the range report. Also like someone else said pick up the 10 round mags for it and HK sells a spacer to fix the gap in between the mag and the grip so you can have more in your mag on the range.

Phil 1:6
Bought one last week, it is a magnificent shooter. I am on the hunt for factory 10 round magazines for it. HK USP compact magazines will fit it, BUT, the bottom sticks out about 1/2 an inch.
I am also looking for a full size P2000 V3. That is how sold I am on them.

Bus driver's fatal decision
Relevant offers
The driver of a bus which went through a red light before crashing and killing a Hamilton woman had just months earlier done the same thing - but without injuring anyone.
The revelation came during the sentencing of Huntly woman Eva Kahu Tawha in the Hamilton District Court yesterday.
She pleaded guilty last month to a charge of careless driving causing the death of Lynelle Joy Bray, 46, and charges of careless driving causing injury to Graham Clothier and Wayne Cowan-Simpson after driving her Pavlovich-contracted bus through the intersection of Te Rapa Rd/Forest Lake Rd/Ulster St and Victoria St on December 30, last year.
Sergeant Andrea McBeth told Community Magistrate Kathryn Wilson that Tawha had driven through the intersection of Bryce and Anglesea Sts in March last year and was dealt with by her employer through a driving assessment.
When approached outside court, Bray's Tauranga-based mother, Joy, said she was surprised and confused to find out that Tawha had driven through a red light previously and not been charged by police.
"I was a bit surprised that it had happened and that she hadn't been held to account and they still talked about her having no other [convictions]. It didn't make any sense to me."
On the day of the crash, Bray and Clothier were heading west across the intersection when Tawha's southbound bus went through the red light, crashing into Bray's car.
Bray died at the scene and Clothier suffered serious injuries which he still battles. Cowan-Simpson also suffered a minor injury.
The court room was packed with family members of both Tawha and Bray, with some standing and others spilling out the door.
An emotional Joy Bray spoke of losing her best friend and how hard it had been to adjust her and husband, Bevan's, lives after their daughter's death.
"No-one expects their children to die before them - it goes against everything you grow up believing."
Karen Donald, Bray's older sister, said her death consumed her so much that she struggled to sleep.
Tawha's counsel Len Caley said his client was remorseful and although she had since her lost her job, she would pay emotional harm reparation.
Wilson convicted Tawha and sentenced her to 200 hours' community work, ordered $2000 reparation to the Bray family and disqualified her from driving for 18 months.

Online Extra: Johnson wins for record 8th time at Dover
By DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
DOVER, Del. — Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.
His slice of track history was more than just another milestone to tack on his bio.
His latest win at his favorite track put the Chase field on notice that his run at a sixth championship in the No. 48 is gaining steam. Johnson never let Dale Earnhardt Jr. catch him down the stretch Sunday and won for a record eighth time at Dover International Speedway.
Johnson had shared the mark of seven wins on the concrete mile with Bobby Allison and Richard Petty.
"Truthfully, it was the first thought that went through my mind when I crossed the finish line," Johnson said. "It wasn't long after I thought about the impact of winning in the Chase."
Johnson's win bumped him from third to second in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings. Matt Kenseth, who won the first two Chase races, holds an eight-point over Johnson as the Chase heads to Kansas for the fourth race.
Led by Johnson's fifth win, the entire top 10 was made up of Chase drivers. Joey Logano, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five. Kevin Harvick, Kenseth, Ryan Newman, Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyer completed the top 10.
"You've got to win when you're at your best track," Johnson said. "We had to win here today. I think any points on the 18 or 20 would have been a very good day. Max points, it's an awesome day."
Not so much for Earnhardt, who had one of the fastest cars, but he missed pit road and gave up the lead early in the race. He had a strong enough No. 88 Chevrolet to get back into the race and contend for his first win of the season but couldn't pass Johnson.
"We left everybody in the mirror. We were clicking off some laps," Earnhardt said. "But just not fast enough to get to Jimmie."
Kenseth kept his points lead even as he fell short in trying to become the first driver to win the first three Chase races.
"For how bad I felt like we struggled with the car, that was a decent finish," Kenseth said.
Johnson dominated as he usually does at Dover and led 243 of the 400 laps to help extend his Chase record with his 23rd career win in 93 starts in NASCAR's version of the playoffs. He swept Dover in 2002 and 2009 and won races in 2005, 2010 and 2012.
He jumped a restart and served a pass-through penalty that cost him the win in the spring race.
Crew chief Chad Knaus brought the same car back for this one and, this time, Johnson was pretty much flawless.
Johnson has his sights set on a bigger piece of NASCAR history. He's in the hunt for his sixth Cup championship, which would put him one behind Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr. for most in series history.
"Jimmie is probably the most underrated champion we have in this industry," Knaus said. "He is by far and above the most powerful driver over the course of the last 25, 35 years in this sport."
Johnson caught a huge break when Earnhardt slowed during a green-flag pit stop and missed the entrance to pit road. He went from holding a 3.7-second lead on Johnson to trailing by more than 9 seconds after he finally made his stop.
Johnson took the lead — and took off for his 65th victory in 428 career starts. Even smart pit strategy that included a late four-tire stop wasn't enough to boost Earnhardt past his Hendrick Motorsports teammate.
"The mistake I made coming on to pit road and missing pit road completely (cost us)," Earnhardt said. "If I had not given up that track position and had a smart enough race to keep the lead when it counted, right at the end we might have won the race. It would have been hard to get by us just like it was hard to get by Jimmie."
Other Chase driver finishes include, Kasey Kahne in 13th, Kurt Busch 21st, and Carl Edwards 35th. Edwards entered fourth in the standings but plummeted to 11th once a late tire issue sent him to the garage.
Most drivers insisted this weekend that it would not be a three-driver Chase. With seven races left, Kyle Busch is third and only 12 points back. But Harvick and Gordon are 39 points out, and Biffle and Newman are both more than 40 points behind.
It's going to take major problems out of the top three and an improbable winning streak from some drivers in the back to shake up the standings.
Kyle Busch has a pair of seconds and a fifth to open the Chase.
"It's certainly appealing and you could be happy with it," he said, "but we're a little disappointed at the same time."

Katz 2015 | ISBN: 0262029634 | English | 280 pages | EPUB + MOBI | 4 MB + 4 MB California's Silicon Valley is home to the greatest concentration of designers in the world: corporate design offices at flagship technology companies and volunteers at nonprofit NGOs; global design consultancies and boutique studios; research laboratories and academic design programs. Together they form the interconnected network that is Silicon Valley. Apple products are famously "Designed in California," but, as Barry Katz shows in this first-ever, extensively illustrated history, the role of design in Silicon Valley began decades before Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak dreamed up Apple in a garage. Offering a thoroughly original view of the subject, Katz tells how design helped transform Silicon Valley into the most powerful engine of innovation in the world. From Hewlett-Packard and Ampex in the 1950s to Google and Facebook today, design has provided the bridge between research and development, art and engineering, technical performance and human behavior. Katz traces the origins of all of the leading consultancies - including IDEO, frog, and Lunar - and shows the process by which some of the world's most influential companies came to place design at the center of their business strategies. At the same time, universities, foundations, and even governments have learned to apply "design thinking" to their missions. Drawing on unprecedented access to a vast array of primary sources and interviews with nearly every influential design leader - including Douglas Engelbart, Steve Jobs, and Don Norman - Katz reveals design to be the missing link in Silicon Valley's ecosystem of innovation. ] (epub) ] (mobi) Buy Premium From My Links To Get Resumable Support,Max Speed & Support Me Code: Download ( NitroFlare ) http://nitroflare.com/view/3992277D9DFCFEA/h1n0z.0262029634.epub.rar http://nitroflare.com/view/7D7D9241B8F865D/h1n0z.0262029634.mobi.rar

Parents Upset About State Cuts To Local School Budgets
According to the Alachua County School Board, art teachers, music teachers and media specialists are now on the chopping block.
In what is supposed to be a school-related meeting discussing the fate of the advanced placement programs and the international baccalaurate program at Eastside High School has drawn out parents from all over Alachua County, who want to know the fate of all schools throughout the county this fall. Superintendent Dan Boyd and at least two school board members are also expected to come.
With the first round of budget cuts levied from the state, the School District has planned for a 14 million dollar cut to next school year, which has put funding for school bands on hold for a year. Some magnet programs and many electives like home ec and chorus have already been cut.
But now, a second wave of budget cuts means the school district has to brace for another four pecent reduction from the state, which will mean four to six million dollars less, and now on the line is art, music, and media specialists.

Chapter Three - Looks Can Be DeceivingMature
The first Hogsmeade visit was in the middle of October, on a stormy Saturday and the heavens appeared to be in an unforgiving mood - when Jimmy and Ritchie walked into the Great Hall for breakfast in the morning, the ceiling (which was enchanted to look like the sky outside) was very dark and the Hall was lit mostly by the candles that lined the walls. When they got out of the castle, it was even darker and it was a very unpleasant journey down the slopes of Hogwarts towards the village below.
Jimmy and Ritchie huddled as close to one another as possible, walking sideways more than forwards through the rapidly growing mounds of sleet, the first snow fall of the year and possibly the most aggressive. But the weather wasn't to blame completely for their foul moods, Hogsmeade village was a shadow of its former self unfortunately, more shops than not had been bordered up and closed due to the growing danger of the outside world.
Even the very popular Zonko's Joke Shop - which both Jimmy and Ritchie had enjoyed immensely last year - and it meant that they were due for a far less enjoyable day than they had planned indeed.
Ritchie had hoped there would be enough things to do and places to go during their trip in order for Jimmy to forget Ginny Weasley. Unbeknown to his best mate, he secretly prayed that if she was at Hogsmeade, that she would be on a date with Harry Potter, and that they would spend all their time at Madam Puddifoot's - the small teashop that was usually occupied by couples - and not bother to show up in the undoubtedly crowded pub the Three Broomsticks.
They made their way towards Honeydukes first, thankfully it was one of the shops not boarded up - but unfortunately due to the limited amount of places you could go, it meant the famous lolly shop was so overflowing with students that it looked impossible to move your elbows, let alone browse and purchase items.
They decided then to make a small detour into the a shop opposite instead - called Gladrag's Wizardwear, which had only a handful of students purchasing new robes to replace old or torn ones - to pass the time.
'I could always do with some new socks,' Jimmy said with a shrug, picking at some pairs that were quite a horrid colour indeed.
They literally walked around in circles within the shop, peering out the window every second lap, waiting for the crowd within Honeydukes to thin. Ritchie actually bought a new pair of socks that looked fairly normal, and Jimmy succumbed to buying a beanie that didn't fit while they waited - eventually becoming concerned that the products they wanted could be sold out before they got there, the two of them trudged back over to Honeydukes and squeezed their way in.
They slowly moved through the crowded room, somehow Ritchie finally came face-to-face with the wall of candy at the other side. He grabbed a basket and began filling it with Chocolate Frogs, before Jimmy reappeared at his shoulder.
'Hey, you remember that cute blonde girl I pointed out to you at breakfast this morning? She totally just had her entire hand on my left butt cheek,' Jimmy hissed in Ritchie's ear, 'does she think I wouldn't notice or what?'
'You really have a problem,' Ritchie hissed, now counting his money to make sure he had enough for the Chocolate Frog's.
'Look who's talking,' Jimmy retorted, indicating the basket which was overflowing, 'I keep telling you, you're never going to find someone who has that Cornelius Agrippa card, let alone find one in a pack-'
'It could happen,' Ritchie was hopeful, and while he knew spending most of his money on Chocolate Frogs was quite a waste, he still went through with it anyway.
This meant that he watched on jealously as Jimmy browsed an assortment of lollies and chocolate, choosing at will what he found particularly inviting, and even having the tenacity to ask Ritchie for help in choosing either chocolate flavoured or strawberry flavoured Drooble's Blowing Gum. Eventually having tortured Ritchie enough, Jimmy made his purchases and lead the way out of the shop.
'To the Three Broomsticks then?' Jimmy practically yelled through the white wind whilst he pointed in the general direction of where he thought the pub was.
Ritchie agreed, though visibility was so poor, they weren't exactly sure the way they were going was the right way - forward movement was still slow and rather all over the place, and they took to following other students with their heads bowed against the wind, simply praying that they were headed in the same direction as them. When they eventually managed to find the correct door to their destination, they scrambled through it, bending over on the threshold, absolutely exhausted.
The Three Broomsticks was warm, and smelled strongly of Butterbeer - it took both Jimmy and Ritchie to a few moments to regain their senses, the room was spinning for them, and it didn't help that they had to do a couple of laps of the crowded pub until they found a spare table at the back somewhere.
'My shout then?' Jimmy said in amusement, knowing well and good that he'd just watch Ritchie (who sat down miserably) spend all of his Galleons on Chocolate.
He returned shortly with two large mugs of Butterbeer and he handed one to his friend. They both took a sip in earnest at the same time, and instantly they could feel the warmth returning to their bodies - slowly everything in the room made sense, they began to feel like themselves again, as if their souls had been sucked out centuries ago and finally put back in again.
'Guess who I saw up the front, ordering two drinks?' Jimmy asked his friend curiously after a pause of letting this feeling settle in.
'Oh no-' Ritchie said under his breath, feeling his stomach drop.
He had been afraid of this - encountering her could be the trigger for him to start talking about her again, for him to spend the next month, day in and day out until Christmas listing nothing but the measurements of her bust, waist and hips.
'It was Harry,' Jimmy said, looking puzzled at Ritchie's reaction, 'Harry Potter - and he wasn't sitting with his two friends, he was sitting with-'
Here it comes, Ritchie thought miserably.
'-Loony-Lovegood!' Jimmy let out a evil cry of laughter which attracted the attention of some scared looking Hufflepuff's nearby.
'Loony- really?' Ritchie was suddenly very intrigued.
'No doubt about it,' Jimmy said with a nod of his head, 'she ordered a Gillywater and everything.'
'Harry Potter and Loony-Lovegood,' Ritchie repeated, barely able to believe what he was saying, 'but that means-'
'Peeves will have a field day with that one,' Jimmy pointed out, making Ritchie roar with laughter.
Now in much better spirits, the both forgot about Harry and Luna and even Ginny and went on to talk about Quidditch, as the two young Wizards normally did in each other's company. One thing was for sure, as best mates they knew each other well, if conversation ever went pear-shaped, they could always fall back onto Quidditch, whether it be of Hogwarts standard or International standard.
Over the next half-hour or so, they had each consumed one and a half mugs of Butterbeer, whilst Ritchie had absent-mindedly been opening Chocolate Frog cards, searching for the very one that continued to eluded him. Their laughter carried throughout the pub, only Professor Slughorn a couple of tables over out bellowed them - he appeared to have found a drinking partner in the form of Rubeus Hagrid and they both looked rather drunk, as it wasn't just Butterbeer they were drinking.
Jimmy was about to suggest that he go and buy them another Butterbeer each, when a distraction in the form of Ginny Weasley appeared, curiously attracted to their laughter which had grown louder and louder as they discussed possible ways for the Chudley Cannons to finish ninth again this season.
'Hello boys,' she said, appearing from nowhere at Jimmy's shoulder and forcing him to stop mid-laugh and do a double-take.
A sudden swooshing sensation filled in his stomach, as though he missed a step going downstairs.
'Hi,' was all Jimmy managed to squeak out of the side of his mouth.
'What's so funny over here then?' she demanded to know with a wry smile, looking between them, the several empty Butterbeer mugs on the table and the pile of opened and unopened Chocolate Frog cards scattered around it.
'Hi Ginny,' Ritchie said finally, giving Jimmy a stern look, 'we're just talking Quidditch.'
'Oh,' she seemed disheartened, as if hopeful that it would be something much more mouth watering, 'mind if I join the conversation with you guys?'
'But, to what do we owe such a pleasure?' Jimmy asked, finally speaking properly.
'No particular reason,' Ginny said calmly, sitting down in the spare seat, 'does a girl need a reason to sit and relax with a couple of her team mates?'
'Absolutely not,' Jimmy announced to the world, holding a finger up as if to make a statement, before nervously draining the rest of his Butterbeer.
There was a pause, where the three sat in an awkward silence. Ritchie thought perhaps they should resume their discussions on Quidditch, as that usually cured it, but Jimmy - who was not very good with awkward silences - bounced to his feet before he could say anything and pointed to the two of them in turn.
'Butterbeer? Butterbeer?'
'Yes please,' Ginny nodded, Ritchie nodded also.
'Three Butterbeers,' Jimmy yelled over some heads, as if Madam Rosmerta was waiting for his order.
He turned away, and Ginny giggled a little - Ritchie thought at first it was a false laugh, and when she turned back to face him, her smile stayed, but she was definitely thinking about something else and Ritchie knew he had to say something.
'Are you really here because we're team mates?,' he asked, 'or - and you can be honest here - or are you actually just sitting with us because Harry's sitting over there with Luna, and we're the last resort?'
Ginny sighed.
'Am I that obvious?' she yielded, slouching in her seat and propping her elbow up on the table and putting her head in her hand.
'No, I guessed,' Ritchie lied with a shrug, though Ginny appreciated it all the same with a smile.
'I tried to sit with Ron and Hermione,' she tried to explain, 'but they bicker far too much, so I followed the laughter-'
'And what of Demelza Robbins?' Ritchie asked curiously, 'you two are friends aren't you-?'
'Busy also,' Ginny indicated over her shoulder with her thumb to where the young Chaser was mouth-to-mouth with some random boy Ritchie did not recognise.
'I see,' Ritchie nodded his head and paused, waiting for something to be said, before deciding he may as well ask her.
'I hope you don't mind me asking,' he said cautiously, 'but, from the past couple of weeks, the amount of times I saw you and Harry together in the corridors, well I naturally presumed that...'
Ritchie trailed away, unsure where to go from there, he didn't want to be the one to say it.
'He mostly talked about Luna, actually,' Ginny explained, 'asked me if I would mind if he asked her out, wasn't quite sure why he needed my permission, but I told him to go for it. And then I proceeded to give him every bit of knowledge I have on her to help.'
'Well,' Ritchie tried to find the positive, 'it shows that he values your opinion highly, even if he is thick enough not to notice someone like you right in front of him.'
'It's sweet of you to say that, but,' Ginny shrugged, 'I don't hate him for it, and I don't need to hear that he's thick or anything - I'm happy for them, really. Luna deserves to be lucky for once, I will just have to find someone else one day, amongst this lot...'
Just as she finished that sentence, Jimmy reappeared with immaculate timing, a giant smile etched across his face as he handed them both a Butterbeer.
'Took your sweet time,' Ritchie snapped, taking his drink and sipping it too.
'Hey, I did my best... I might have stopped to tell a joke alright-?' Jimmy snapped back.
Ritchie stared at him in disbelief.
'Not the one about the hag, the Healer and the Mimbulus mimbletonia?' Ritchie pleaded, but the look on Jimmy's face told it all.
'Madam Rosmerta appreciated it at least,' Jimmy said, bringing his drink to his lips, 'even if you don't.'
And as he took a drink, and Ritchie put his head in his hands, Ginny looked from one to the other and asked, 'wait, what's joke?'
'Trust me Ginny, you don't want to know,' Ritchie insisted, ignoring Jimmy, 'but on to more pressing matters, where do you believe the Chudley Cannons will finish this year? Ninth again do you think?'

[Page H2941] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] PATRICK HENRY COLLEGE'S NATIONAL MOOT COURT TEAM (Mr. MEADOWS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Patrick Henry College's National Moot Court Team on their fifth consecutive national championship this year. The team boasts two two-time national champions, as well as a national orator champion who holds the record for the most points earned in the history of the league. Patrick Henry College, or PHC, has now won a total of seven national moot court championships and has built a strong reputation for success nationwide. I thank the coaches--Dr. Michael Farris, founder of PHC, and Dr. Frank Guliuzza--for their leadership and investment in these young leaders. In a time when we are asking the government to get out of the way, PHC serves as a shining example of what can be achieved when freed from the binds of the government's purse strings. From day one, the college has not accepted Federal funding. I congratulate Patrick Henry College, and its talented young people, for the example it has and will continue to set for higher education in America. I also thank Congressman Frank Wolf for graciously giving me the opportunity to make these remarks. ____________________

Overwork is creating a vicious cycle that results in net losses.
During the recession of the late aughts, organizations laid off a ton of employees. Many of them didn't replace these people, but the amount of work remained. Nearly seven years since the recession began, individual American professionals are feeling the fatigue of doing the jobs of two or three former colleagues.
In their State of Workplace Productivity Report, Cornerstone on Demand cites the results of a new study demonstrating that nearly 70 percent of American employees are suffering from an overabundance of work, and two-thirds feel that work overload is the most significant factor negatively impacting their productivity.
Overwork is a Damaging Epidemic
As I see it, there are two issues here. The first is why Americans are overworked to begin with, and the second in the relationship between overwork and the loss of productivity. Beginning with the first, the staffing shortages I just mentioned are a primary reason employees are burning more of that midnight oil. Jobs were scarce during and immediately after the recession, and employees willingly took on extra responsibilities in order to stay safe. Even when things got better, many companies realized they could do just fine with less and never staffed up again.Posted in Team Productivity | Tagged Collaboration, communication, emotional intelligence, management, managing teams, motivation, overwork, productivity, stress, technology, telecommuting, telework, time management, troubleshooting, Wi Fi

When you consider your goals, do you experience peace or stress?
This question is a simple way to check in with the goals and intentions you've set for yourself. Notice the energetic state your intentions are bringing you.
If your intentions and goals are causing you to contract, stress out, or run away then it's time to go to work! You have two options here:
1. Rewrite or Revise. Rewrite the goal so it propels you forward and energizes you.
2. Courageously Drop It! Liberate yourself from the idea and create space in your life for something that really matters.

So he's the rat-catcher-in-chief?
Rentokil does indeed have a pest control business, but it has other strings to its bow, too – everything from cleaning to courier services.
How's it doing?
Pretty well thanks. It made a £77m profit in the first half of this year, it said yesterday, up by 39 per cent on the same period of 2009.
Where there's muck there's brass?
Quite – and not just for the company. Mr Brown and two other management colleagues are in line for a tidy windfall if they can keep the good times going.
That sounds good.
You don't know the half of it. Mr Brown's contract stipulates that if he can get Rentokil's share price above a series of trigger points – 120p, 180p and 280p – he'll get shares worth more than £30m.
Wow, how's that going?
The price has been hovering at around the 105p mark, so he's not far off the first trigger.
Is he really worth so much?
Well, Mr Brown and his colleagues were brought in two years ago from ICI where they were credited with rescuing what had been a struggling company. At the time, Rentokil faced all sorts of problems, particularly at City Link, its courier business, prompting a series of profit warnings. If the new brooms hit those share price targets, they'll also have created plenty of value for shareholders who haven't had much to crow about in recent times.
The investors are happy then?
Not all of them. The critics point out that these are absolute benchmarks, whereas most companies set relative targets, where managers have to do better than rivals to get bonuses. In theory, all Mr Brown needs is for the stock market as a whole to rise for a while and he'll be quids in.
What will he do with the money?
Well, he's a motor sports enthusiast, so maybe he'll add to his vintage cars collection. He already owns a 1931 Invicta and a 1972 Porsche.
