The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation

Barry Manilow, the coiffed, ever-young hero of blue-haired old ladies the world over, could live to see his music transformed from drunken pub fare into the newest innovation in crowd control, according to the Associated Press. A shopping mall in the New Zealand city of Christchurch is reportedly having trouble with juvenile delinquents spreading trash, getting drunk, getting high, tagging walls with spray paint, and talking filth to local shoppers. The solution? Pipe in hits like "Mandy" and "Can't Smile Without You," which, like this obnoxious tone said to be the scourge of teenage ruffians everywhere, will (it is hoped) clear the area of smack-talking punks. Paul Lonsdale, manager of the local business association, denies that Manilow was selected to drive teenagers crazy. "The intention is to change the environment in a positive way... so nobody feels threatened or intimidated," he says. "I did not say that Barry Manilow is a weapon of mass destruction."
No, for that look to some other acts, like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, which the CIA used to bully Al Qaeda leader Abu Zabaydah into spilling his beans (along with other forms of "enhanced interrogation"). We should also not forget that Van Halen, Whitesnake, and Black Sabbath, among others, ultimately convinced Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega that he'd rather spend the rest of his life in a federal supermax than sit through another minute of "War Pigs."
Will such tactics work on Christchurch's problem children? Doubtful if we believe 16-year old Emma Belcher. "We would just bring a stereo and play it louder," she told the AP.

They're red from all the chafing! In the latest installment of Irony and Hypocrisy Weekly, a study has shown that traditionally conservative states consume the most online pornography. Okay, the study (pdf link) was actually in the Journal of Economic Perspectives, and it looked at zip codes of credit cards used for "online adult entertainment" between 2006 and 2008. Researchers found that Utah led the way in sexy interweb fun times, with 5.47 subscribers per 1000 broadband users, followed by Alaska and Mississippi. Out of the top ten porn-using states, only Hawaii and Florida voted for Obama in the 2008 elections, and I think Hawaii is excused because they're so far away from, you know, actual sex with people they don't live next door to. Of course, one could also ascribe the higher online porn usage rates in red states to the simple fact that these states have often made in-person porn buying more difficult, but I prefer to think of it as another example of Larry Craig Syndrome: those who doeth protest too much are at home having a wanketh.
Researchers also found "marginally" higher porn subscription rates in the 27 states that had (at that time) passed anti-gay marriage laws, and in states where surveys show conservative positions on sexuality and gender roles. But in a boon to church-goers, there was also a slight dip in porn subscriptions on Sunday, although the oh-so-cynical researchers noted that this meant only that these people "shift their consumption of adult entertainment to other days of the week." Note to self: promote online porn company more aggressively on Saturdays and Mondays.

Wow, China never forgets, huh. Beatlesy British combo Oasis have had their first ever shows in the People's Republic of China canceled after the Chinese government revoked their performance licenses. The band's management issued a statement saying the decision "has left both Oasis and the promoters bewildered." But, according to Billboard magazine, band member Noel Gallagher had a deep, dark secret:
According to the promoters, officials within the Chinese Ministry of Culture only recently discovered that Noel Gallagher appeared at a Free Tibet benefit concert on Randall's Island in New York City in 1997. Consequently, Oasis is considered unsuitable to perform in the People's Republic of China during its 60th anniversary year.
If only it was just their 59th, right?
After the jump, a video from the band's most recent album, the underrated Dig Out Your Soul.

Marina Severa
Marina Severa († before 375) was the Empress of Rome and first wife of Emperor Valentinian I. She was the mother of later Emperor Gratian. Her full name is unknown. Marina Severa is a combination of the two names given in primary sources. Socrates of Constantinople calls her "Severa" while John Malalas, the Chronicon Paschale and John of Nikiû name her "Marina".[1]
Marina Severa married Valentinian before he ascended to the throne. Their son, Gratian was born in 359 at Sirmium in Pannonia. Valentinian was chosen emperor in 364. He divorced his wife around 370 to marry Justina, widow of usurper Magnentius.[2]
According to Socrates of Constantinople:
"Justina being thus bereft of her father, still continued a virgin. Some time after she became known to Severa, wife of the emperor Valentinian, and had frequent intercourse with the empress, until their intimacy at length grew to such an extent that they were accustomed to bathe together. When Severa saw Justina in the bath she was greatly struck with the beauty of the virgin, and spoke of her to the emperor; saying that the daughter of Justus was so lovely a creature, and possessed of such symmetry of form, that she herself, though a woman, was altogether charmed with her. The emperor, treasuring this description by his wife in his own mind, considered with himself how he could espouse Justina, without repudiating Severa, as she had borne him Gratian, whom he had created Augustus a little while before. He accordingly framed a law, and caused it to be published throughout all the cities, by which any man was permitted to have two lawful wives." [3]
This account was dismissed by later historians whose interpretation of it was an unlikely legalization of bigamy. However Timothy Barnes and others consider this decision to only allow various Romans to divorce and then remarry. The controversy being that Christianity had yet to accept the concept of a divorce. Barnes considers that Valentinian was willing to go forth with the legal reformation in pursuit of dynastic legitimacy that would secure his presence on the throne.[4]
John Malalas, the Chronicon Paschale and John of Nikiû report Severa to have been banished because of involvement in an illegal transaction. Barnes considers this story to be an attempt to justify the divorce of Valentinian I without blaming the emperor.[4] According to the account of John of Nikiû:
"For this just and equitable emperor hated oppression and judged with the voice of justice and practised equity. This great emperor did not spare (even) his wife, the empress Marina. Now she had bought a garden from a nursery woman (lit. a female planter of plants) and had not paid her the price which it was equitably worth, because the valuers had valued (it) out of regard to the empress and so had inclined to do her a favour. And when the pious Valentinian was apprised of what his wife had done, he sent Godfearing men to value that garden and he bound them by a solemn oath to value it justly and equitably. And when the valuers came to that garden, they found that she had been guilty of a grave injustice and had given the woman but a small portion of the price. And when the emperor heard, he was wroth with the empress (and) removed her from his presence and drove her from the palace and took to wife a woman named Justina, with whom he lived all the rest of his days. As for his first wife, he drove and exiled her from the city, and gave back the garden to the woman who had sold it." [5]
When Valentinian died in 375, he was buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople, next to his first wife.[6]

It took a lot of blinking and arm pinching before Falcon finally realised that he was not dreaming. The scene before them is like nothing he's ever seen before. There are more of the earth people, dozens and dozens of them, in the large cavern to which they have been lead. There are women and children here too, who look up at them with bright curious eyes. Falcon shifts uncomfortably, surprised and unnerved by all the attention. Evidently the younger ones have never seen humans before, nor does it seem have some of the older ones, who gather together in groups, whispering and pointing.
"It appears we've made quite the impact." he whispers to Eternal, not completely light heartedly.
Life appears to be the only one who isn't unnerved by all the attention, in fact she almost seems to be enjoying it, waving and smiling at the people looking at her. Up ahead, Thunder is greeting another party of earth people, presumably more of the hunters. Falcon continues to shift nervously, jigging from one foot to the other as if standing on hot coals. The people walk past them, gazing up at them inquiringly, tilting their heads in curiosity.
Okay... this is awkward, thinks Falcon, stepping closer to Eternal as Thunder returns. He's smiling again, and something about the way he's looking at Eternal sets Falcon's teeth on edge. No, he tells himself, I'm not jealous. It's just because he's not familiar, that's all. I'm just being cautious.
Aren't I?

Make the filling: In a large bowl combine well the scallion, the pork, the gingerroot, the bell pepper, the cabbage, the garlic, the oil, the soy sauce, the coriander, the egg, and salt and pepper to taste and chill the filling for at least 1 hour or overnight. Put about 1 heaping teaspoon of the filling in the center of 1 of the wrappers and moisten the edge of the wrapper. Gather the edge of the wrapper up and around the filling and form a waist with the wrapper, pushing the dumpling from the bottom and keeping the filling level with the top of the wrapper. (The filling should not be enclosed.) Continue to make dumplings with the remaining wrappers and filling in the same manner and arrange them in 1 layer on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper dusted lightly with the cornstarch. The dumplings may be prepared up to this point 8 hours in advance and kept uncovered chilled. Make the sauce: In a bowl whisk together the nam pla, the lime juice, the vinegar, the sugar, the gingerroot, the mint, the coriander, and salt, and pepper, to taste. In a large nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat until it is hot, but not smoking and fry half of the dumplings, flat sides down, for 1 minute until the undersides are golden. Add 1/2 cup water and steam the dumplings, covered, over moderate heat for 3 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook the remaining dumplings in the same manner. Garnish the dumplings with the coriander sprigs and serve them with the sauce.;

I can understand your frustration but I see other members are avoiding your question because they don't want take a position (or maybe hurt your feelings?). Dirkjan is the only one has taken a position and, personally, I agree with him, but you already know that since we discussed, partially, the topic days ago in another thread talking about list and show. Anyway, if you decide (I mean you all) that the couch apps are an integral CouchDB part, I think they should be a topic of the CouchDB main site and not live in a separate domain. Else, if you consider couch apps as an external resource, like any other projects made on top of CouchDB, I don't see any responsibility of yours. I suggest to take a vote on it. -Filippo On Nov 30, 2013, at 11:05 AM, Benoit Chesneau wrote: > Enough is enough, > > I am starting to be really frustrated this situation.

Thousands attend 42nd Atlanta Pride festival
ATLANTA - People gathered in midtown Atlanta on Sunday to watch the parade for the 42nd annual Atlanta pride festival.
Channel 2's Amanda Cook spoke with revelers, many decked out in rainbow-themed attire, waiting for the parade to begin on 10th Street.
Several participants said this being an election year, it is even more important for them to attend the festival.
"Politically speaking, our country is in turmoil. Republican v. Democrat. Gay v. non-gay. The whole Chick-Fil-A issue. It's ridiculous and crazy. Life is life, we'll see where it foes," Craig Slade, who recently adopted a child with his partner of 11 years, told Cook.
The parade route stretched from Ralph McGill Boulevard to 10th Street to the Charles Allen gate at Piedmont Park. Festivities continued after the parade at Piedmont Park. Traffic was blocked in those areas for a large part of Sunday.
Atlanta Pride is the largest pride event in the southeast and the largest event in the country to coincide with National Coming Out Day.


text: I have attached a good sized Zip file that has all my info. It's bizarre, either my computer freezes or blue screens, most commonly when playing a game (although it will all of a sudden Blue screen without any warning or degradation in performance). Often when it crashes a horrible continuos buzzing noise will play through the speakers. However there are times when I can use the computer without problems for hours. Sometimes after recovering from a blue screen my computer actually fails to boot, the fans are running but the single 'beep' to notify a boot doesn't work. I tend to find though that if i take out the mains leave it for 5 mins and then turn it on again it does boost. I have ran Memtest (several runs through) and Memory is fine, and I can't think of any hardware changes that may trigger the issue. After a BSOD the most common code I get when windows starts up and tells me about the previous Blue Screen is '768_1' In Event Log the main repeated errors I get are ID:3 ''The configuration of the AdminConnection\TCP protocol in the SQL instance MSSMLBIZ is not valid.'' and ID 11:Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. The system administrator should review the list of libraries to ensure they are related to trusted applications. If anyone can take a look i'd be grateful, it really has me stumped

Diana - Breaking Bonds
Cecil came rushing up to her, saying something so quickly that Diana couldn't make out head nor tail of it.
Cecil, please, slow down.
Cecil stopped talking, and collapsed into a prettily carved wooden chair. Diana stopped brushing her hair.
Now. Tell me, when will Belle come back?
"Oh, Diana, I'm not sure she --" Cecil stopped. She knew what she was about to say was against her promise to Belle. "Don't worry, she'll find us."
What has happened? What do you mean, she'll find us? Diana wrote, confused.
"Well, Diana, the most awful thing has happened. Your great aunt took Belle out of her employ!"
Diana was shocked. Cecil, are you lying to me?
"No, no! Diana, I'd never do that to you!"
Are you sure she didn't just tell Belle to go somewhere? I know you are good at jumping to conclusions.
"Diana, I was there. And oh, it was most awful to watch! I just stood there, watching helplessly, whilst your great aunt yelled at poor Belle."
Impossible! I must go and tell her about it! I am sure she'd change her mind after I talked to her.
"I beg that you don't, Diana. For your great aunt has already sent the stable boy to take Belle out to the edge of the city. I do not mean to seem rude, Diana, but right now I might as well storm out of this house on account of your great aunt."
Cecil, pray you not get into a frenzy. I will go and find her right now.
"Don't talk to her. She's in quite a mood. She hates reading Belle's slate, as far as I gather. If you do, I only fear the worse for you."
Very well. But tell me, Cecil. Did she tell you about a rendezvous point before she left? She's a smart girl, and I trusted that she'd remember that. She isn't one to let her emotions get the better of her.
"A rendezvous!" Cecil gasped, suddenly turning very pink. "That's what she was trying to tell me! Oh, curse and bother me! You're right, Diana, she isn't one to let her emotions get the better of her; I am. I was crying too heartily to notice that my dear friend was trying to signal something to me."
Take a deep breath and tell me what happened, Diana wrote, looking into Cecil's eyes. Trust in me, I will not blame you for anything.
"Oh, Diana, you will have been such a good friend, then, for it is entirely my fault, and you should blame me."
Tell me the whole thing.
"Well, it happened like this. I saw Mrs Anderty take Belle away, then started crying at the harshness and cruelty of it all. She called Belle the Mute One. Oh, Diana, can you believe it? And what did poor Belle ever do to her to get that nickname?
I heard a whip cracking, and that just made me cry even harder, for I now knew that my friend was getting further and further away by every second. Then I shook off those thoughts, for suddenly a thought came into my head that my friend was leaving, and I was not there to look at her departing figure and wave? I was not even looking up, and here was my friend, probably trying to say good-bye to me.
So I looked up, and found that she was trying to tell me something. I didn't really try to read her lips, for I was so sure she was trying to say good-bye to me. Now I know that I was being particularly silly, for we had already said our last condolences, and Belle was not one to repeat things twice. I now know that she was trying to tell me a rendezvous."
If that is the case, then it is truly not your fault, for all you were trying to do was to stay brave, so you could help me get out of this truly horrid place. My sympathies lay with Belle, not Great Aunt. Oh, now I see how truly wicked she is.
"Diana! We cannot waste anymore time! For Belle is out of employ already, and there is nothing more to wait for. Why stay for dinner? If you can quickly get out, and follow the coach, then we might at least try to find Belle."
Diana realized she was right, and quickly put her hairbrush away and got her Escape Bag. In it, she had a map of the city, candles and matches, food, spare clothes, and most importantly, money. All of her savings were in that little cloth bag. She could only pray that no pickpockets robbed them when they were on the streets.
Cecil, on the other hand, was praying that Diana didn't realize they had no chance of following a coach. Their best shot was to escape quickly, and hopefully meet Ben on the way back, so they didn't have to ask him about Belle in the Testhmus Property.
Diana had changed into her plainest dress, and Cecil had no need of bringing anything. Cecil lead the way out. They made sure they crept past Marryanne Le Testhmus' rooms extra quietly, lest she hear them and put a stop to their operation.
They also crept past the servants' quarters and the kitchen, for Cecil knew that Mrs Anderty had sharp ears, and took care to tell Diana so.
They went into the backyard, and Diana showed Cecil how to unlatch the gate.
Finally, they were free. Diana felt almost as if the restricting bonds of the house had broken, and she was free to do as she wanted. She knew this was not true, though, for they needed to find shelter and Belle.
At Cecil's insistent tugging at her hand, Diana took one last look at the home of her whole life, the home of her parents' whole life, and would-be inheritance, and fled.

Portuguese newspapers published blow-by-blow photographs of the fracas which is thought to have begun after a tackle by Thomas on the Ukrainian Sergei Kandaurov. The players scuffled until other players pulled them apart. The Benfica vice-president Jose Capristano described the spat as "a normal situation."
"It just shows that the players approach training sessions as if they were official games," he said. He added that the clash was "unpleasant".
Benfica, managed by Graeme Souness, currently lie joint second in the Portuguese First Division, one point behind Porto.
Roger Milla has criticised the state of the game in Cameroon describing the national side's recent performances as "lamentable". In the government- run Cameroon Tribune the former World Cup striker, now an assistant coach in Montpellier, France, said: "There is a need for us to bring back the soccer of the old days." He said that he would not return if approached to manage a Cameroon side. "I would prefer to stay in Montpellier, because I feel better there."
In recent years, Cameroon's Indomitable Lions have failed to find the form which took them to the 1990 World Cup quarter-final. They were eliminated in the first round of the 1994 and 1998 finals. Milla captained the 1990 team, scoring four goals, retired from the national side after the 1994 finals.
Following a series of financial problems, Cameroon football has faced trouble off the pitch. Last November football's world governing body, Fifa, dissolved the country's federation and appointed an interim executive to run the organisation for nine months.
In January, Fifa suspended the federation, excluding club and national sides from international competition. The suspension was lifted four days later when the government withdrew reservations over a previously agreed plan of action for running Cameroon football until a replacement executive is elected.

You can save in a variety of ways, such as 529 college savings plans, custodial accounts and Coverdell accounts. But regardless of how long your family has been saving or how much has been saved, federal financial aid may be available.
All families applying for financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can apply for federal aid beginning Jan. 1, 2014, for the 2014–2015 academic year. Keep in mind, there are other state and college deadlines, so it's important to check www.fafsa.ed.gov for information about your state.
Federal financial aid is need-based and determined by one equation:
Cost of Attendance (COA) - Expected Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need
Income and Assets Affecting EFC
Understanding how the federal financial aid system views income and assets will help you develop a more realistic expectation of your potential financial aid eligibility. Here is how certain income and assets affect the EFC calculation:
*Parent- or student-owned 529 and Coverdell accounts – These accounts are considered an asset of the parent and are required to be disclosed when applying for financial aid. Distributions from these accounts do not count as income on the next FAFSA filed. Custodial accounts (UGMA/UTMA), on the other hand, are considered an asset of the student. Distributions from these accounts must also be disclosed but do not count as income in the following year.
*529 and Coverdell accounts not owned by the parent or student – These accounts are considered an asset of the owner and therefore are not required to be disclosed when applying for federal financial aid. However, distributions from these accounts are reported as the student's income for that year on the next FAFSA filed, so you may want to delay such transactions until the student's final year of college.
*Retirement accounts – The federal financial aid formula does not include retirement account balances in assets. However, distributions from these accounts (whether taxable or not) and Roth conversions are counted as income for that year on the next FAFSA filed.
Remember, whatever you can save today can help your child or grandchild graduate with less debt to repay in the future.

Short version means that Tom Brady will retire as a Patriot. Peter King has the details of the deal. The extension will pay Brady a $3 milion signing bonus immediately, in addition to salaries of $7 million in 2015, $8 million in 2016 and $9 million in 2017. Brady told Sports Illustrated five years ago he wanted to play until he was 40, at least, and this will accomplish that. He turns 40 on Aug. 3, 2017. The upshot of the deal is to give the Patriots massive cap relief in a flat-cap era. He was due to count on the New England salary cap $43.6 million in 2013 and 2014. Now, his cap numbers will add up to $28.6 million in the next two years, a savings of $15 million in cap dollars at a time the Patriots have free agents they want to sign to help keep the team atop the AFC East, which they have dominated since Brady took over at quarterback in 2001.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - April 27, 2004, New Braunfels, Texas COMING FRIDAYTour of Faith Another dwrch is profiled in the weekly series. sSnwfe.W'Ug*m no mr:* Zeitung By Ron Maloney Staff Writer The grandparents of a New Braunfels boy missing since October 2002 in a child custody case pleaded guilty Monday to helping their daughter hide him. Judge Jack Robison accepted guilty pleas from Margaret and Edward Keams in plea bargains reached between defense attorney Ron Zipp and Assistant District Attorney Ed Jendrzey in 207th Judicial District Court. Robison will sentence the couple June 7. Edward Keams, 71, pleaded guilty to two charges of hindering the apprehension of a felon for his part in enabling his daughter, Suzanne DeWalt, to escape authorities with his grandson, Jeremy, at the conclusion of a custody trial and stay on the run since. On the first allegation, a class A misdemeanor, Keams would be sentenced to 180 days in county jail — which he has more than served since his Oct. 1,2003, arrest. On the second charge, a third-degree felony, Kearns would be placed on deferred adjudication probation for two years. If he meets the terms of probation, the charge would be removed from his record. Margaret Kearns, 68, disappeared with DeWalt and the child at the conclusion of a two-week custody trial without turning the boy over to his father, Michael DeWalt, as ordered by the court. Suzanne DeWalt and the boy have not been seen since and their whereabouts are not known.

Mayor Adam Cork, who has resisted expanding permit-only parking, asked council to paint stripes to denote "No Parking" zones in front of residential driveways in an area bounded by Union Avenue, Mather Street, South Street and South Central Street. Last week, Cork asked for funds to hire a full-time code enforcement officer, who would enforce the "No Parking" zones. "Id like to hire someone immediately," (kirk said. "I think it will offer some relief to those people in the neighborhoods that wanted permit-only parking." Cork said a code enforcement officer would be a certified police officer with authority to write citations for parking violations. "I asked for a budget amendment of $50,000 to fund the position," he said. "During the summer, the officer will enforce parking in neighborhoods adjacent to the river, but his other year-round duties would include enforcing city codes. I think this will also give the police department some relief during the summer."

"Attendance is very important," said Comal Independent School District public information officer Kari Hutchison. "Make-up tests are only available in math and reading." While there are no repercussions for individual students who may miss a test period, the school districts suffer.

Looking on are Kelli's parents Lonnie and Dorthy Curtis of New Braunfels. A golf tournament in Tony's memory will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Tony Leffingwell Memorial Golf Tournament is May 14 By Dylan Jimenez Staff Writer Tony Leffingwell never gave up during his two-year fight against leukemia. So why should his widow, Kelli? TVvo years after Tony died, the Tony Leffingwell Memorial Golf Tournament has raised $60,000 for the leukemia and Lymphoma Society. "She loved Tony so much," said Tony's father, Hal. "I was just so proud of her for doing it. It's a huge effort. It's her way of fighting back at the disease." Tony Leffingwell was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 29 — eight months after his son, Trenton, was bom. Chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant helped him recover until in August 2001, the leukemia resurfaced and took Tony's life. He was 31. Kelli and Tony's friends began talking about a gold tournament in his memory the day of the funeral. Tony was an avid golfer. He played on his high school golf team and attended college on a golf scholarship. The tournament seemed like a perfect way to memorialize him. "My attitude is rather than being negative, I wanted to use my energy tor something positive," Kelli said. The Tony Leffingwell Foundation was created in 2002. The golf tournament is the major fund-raiser for the year. All net proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which is charged with finding a cure for blood-related cancers and improving the quality of life of victims of these diseases. Two tournaments to date have allowed the foundation to give $60,000. Last years event was twice as successful as die first year and Kelli hopes support will continue to grow. "We're driven by trying to find a cure for leukemia," Kelli said. "We're on a mission to make a difference in peoples lives. We can't change the past, but we feel like we can make a difference." In August it will be three years since Tony Leffingwell died. Tony's father said dealing with the loss still is tough, but he is proud of Kelli. The golf tournament helps overshadows most of the feelings of loss. And seeing Trenton, Tony and Kelli's five-year-old son, moves Hal Leffingwell. Trenton hits the first ball to ceremonially start the golf tournament. He was three years old when the first tournament was held, but had a strong swing like his father, Hal said. "Tony had to be there wrapped around his little arms for him to hit the ball so far," Hal said. DID YOUKNOW? TONY LEFFINGWELL MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT.

The 20-acre property, located directly behind the county's rural recycling center and road department off Texas 46, was purchased two years ago. It will house a new home for the livestock association and the county Extension service office. T he livestock association has a 50-year lease on about half of the land, which has been designated as a county park. Waldrip said preliminary estimates put the facility's cost at $2 million or more.

Ben Palmer said his children, Harry, five, and Emily, two, still cry every night for their mother, Jessica, nearly three years after her death.
With Mother's Day approaching, he challenged Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt to explain to them why their mother cannot tuck them up in bed.
Mrs Palmer, 35, died less than a week after Emily's birth in June 2004 after medical staff repeatedly failed to spot that she had developed blood poisoning.
Yesterday a judge ordered that the hospital trusts involved pay the family £600,000 in damages.
Speaking after the hearing at London's High Court, Mr Palmer, 36, said: "My wife died a horrific death six days after giving birth to our daughter. This should not have happened.
"My son cries in my arms at night because he misses his mother, my daughter cries in sympathy and because she never knew her mother.
"I cry for them both, for the loss of their mother, my wife and best friend and for the joys of motherhood that have been denied Jessica.
"With Mothering Sunday coming up this weekend, I would like the Health Secretary to try explaining to my children why Jessica isn't going to tuck them up in bed tonight." Mrs Palmer, a personal assistant to former Conservative Cabinet minister Peter Lilley, gave birth to Emily at Kingston Hospital, South West London, on June 24 2004.
Despite displaying a raised temperature and heart rate and having low blood pressure, doctors discharged her the next day.
But after arriving home Mrs Palmer's condition deteriorated and her temperature soared to 40c.
Deeply concerned, Mr Palmer rang a midwife, Karen O'Connor, the following day.
But she told him she was too busy to visit. She came a day later but failed to take Mrs Palmer's temperature because she had forgotten her thermometer.
Miss O'Connor later sobbed at the inquest into Mrs Palmer's death as she admitted making a "gross mistake" in failing to spot the infection.
On June 28 Mrs Palmer rang his wife's GP, who diagnosed her with sciatica and did not make a home visit.
A day later she attended the GP's surgery herself, where an ambulance was called and she was finally taken to hospital suffering from septicaemia.
But it was too late. By then, Mrs Palmer, of Southfields, South-West London, was in septic shock and died of multiple organ failure on June 30.
Solicitor Robert Wilson, representing Kingston Hospital NHS Trust and St George's Healthcare NHS Trust, said they accepted liability for Mrs Palmer's death.
"Both my clients wish again to express their sincere apologies to Mr Palmer and the family for the shortcomings in care which led to the tragic death of Mrs Palmer," he said.
"Inevitably, this has led to a great deal of soul-searching and I would particularly like to convey the profound regret of all the clinicians and staff involved in her care.
"Of course, they recognise that the family has to live with the consequences for the rest of their lives and an apology is of scant help in these circumstances, but it is sincerely offered."
Approving the award of £600,000, which includes £23,667 to each of Mrs Palmer's children, Mr Justice Openshaw said it was a "most tragic case".
Mr Palmer, an IT consultant, said no amount of money could compensate his family.
"Nothing will bring Jessica back or make up for our loss," he added.
"More than anything I want action taken to ensure that maternity services are improved, that there is a continuity of care so that nothing like this ever happens again, and no other family has to go through what we have suffered."
Last night, Tory MP Mr Lilley said: "Jessica was simply one of the most delightful people I've ever known and her death is a terrible tragedy for her family and everyone who knew her."
"She was let down badly by the NHS - her death should never have happened.
"Lessons must be learned so that this never happens to anyone else again."

We stayed for a week at the Hotel Luna Convento in Amalfi recently.
As the name suggests it used to be a Convent and still has a private chapel which is used for Masses regularly.
The hotel is quirky and different from the more international type of place the staff are local, the breakfast excellent, and the location means wonderful views are visible for the bedrooms.
Light spaces, high ceilings, comfortable bed, scrupulously clean bathroom and character with each room being different - what more could you want.
Even when there was no hot water one morning the staff had a typically Italian, yet amusing response. "I am sorry Signora it is a penance of the convent"! What can you say!
I would recommend to anyone who likes authentically Italian hospitality.

text: 2011 NFL Draft Scouting Report: DJ Williams, Arkansas http://nflmocks.com/2010/07/04/2011-nfl-draft-scouting-report-dj-williams-arkansas/ AUTHOR: jcmadson | IN: NFL Draft | COMMENTS: None Yet | DJ Williams-TE-Arkansas 6-2 251lbs. Senior Stats: 2007- 5 receptions, 94 yards, 0 touchdowns 2008- 61 receptions, 723 yards, 3 touchdowns 2009- 32 receptions, 411 yards, 3 touchdowns Pros: The first thing I noticed when watching DJ Williams' film was how well he blocks. He is an incredible run blocker, to the point where if you are a linebacker or safety you can forget about making the play. He has great hand placement when blocking and drives his opponent until the whistle. With so many weapons on the Arkansas Razorback offense, he is also asked to stay in for pass protection quite often, he excels at this also. Has deceptive speed, can get down the seam. Very good hands. Not afraid to catch the ball in traffic. Cons: Needs to define his body. If he dropped 10 lbs. of fat and added muscle, he could be a serious threat. His speed, although deceptive, could be a hindrance in the NFL. Since he is surrounded by so many weapons, he might be the 4th option in most games this season. Thoughts: His willingness to block, above average hands and ability to get down the seam, make him an attractive option in the 2011 NFL draft. Projected Round: DJ Williams graded out as a 3rd round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.

The ExplosionMature
I felt myself slowly waking up. As this happened, I realized the back of my head felt like a hundred pound rock had hit it at a really high speed. I tried to sit up, but I was greeted by being pushed back down.
"Hey!" I started, until I realized it was Elizabeth that had pushed me back down.
"Don't 'Hey!' me. You just had a box of books fall on your head."
"So that's why I feel like my head's about to---" I stopped myself but it was too late. I watched terror go over Elizabeth's face.
"No, no, no don't do that. I'll be fine come morning… I just need to sleep it off." I said, trying to calm her down.
"But… it's my fault the books fell, I should have warned you all the boxes weren't exactly fully up on the shelves." she said, slowly and sadly.
"Elizabeth I'm fine, I should have stayed in one place but I let my curiosity get the best of me."
"I said no buts. I'll be okay, worse has happened to me."
About an hour later, I was laying the bed in the guest bedroom because Elizabeth had insisted I did and didn't stop until I was there. I was just about asleep when I heard a huge boom outside. I shot up and to the window and saw flames over the tree tops.
My heart started pounding through my chest when I realized the location where the flames were coming from were around my house. Elizabeth came in the room and when I turned to her, she looked about as panicked as me. I pushed past her, going towards the front door.

Councilwoman Kathleen Krueger could hardly wait for Mayor Bruce Boyer to open discussion on the agenda item before jumping in. "I have a problem with this not being a part of the $10.5 million we already approved for this project," she said. "I'm concerned that by the end of the day this could be a $12 million or $13 million civic center, and that would be dishonest." Council approved spending up to $10.5 million for the expansion project Aug. 8. TWo weeks later, they were asked to approve spending an additional $21,860 for surveying services. Although former city manager Chuck Pinto warned at the time additional items would come up before the project was put out for a final bid, council members seemed surprised Monday at the new expenses. Boyer told the city's Chief Financial Officer Jeff Hinson he wanted to see a bottom line number at some point. "Everyone wants to know how much this is actually going to cost," he said. "We owe it to the public to tell them how much we're spending." See COST, Page 2A By Jessica Sanders Staff Writer Tristan Drake is armed and dangerous. The shiny spurs, sheriff's badge and two trusty plastic guns are nice, but the 6-year-old said his smile is what will really knock 'em dead. "My dimples are my secret weapon," Tristan said with a grin. Wranglers, outlaws, Indian princesses and rodeo queens strut ted their stuff before judges during the Comal County Fair's Best Dressed Western Contest Sunday. Entrants ranged from toddlers in covered wagons to a 9-year-old in vintage lace. Eleven-month-old Charles Smith was one of the youngest entrants, dressed as a rodeo clown with backflap long johns, grease paint and a cowbell. His mother, Joy Smith, said her family has been participating in the contest for about six years. "We just do this to have fun and give the kids a chance to dress up," she said. Makayla Drake, Tristan's 7-year-old sister, said she has also entered for die last few years, widt great success. Makayla placed first and second in the last two contests. Dressed in a fringed dress with a shiny pink cowboy hat, she said great threads are the secret to success. "You win by doing the best and having the best outfit," she said. Louisa Hurter said her daughter Harleigh's outfit was part of a family tradition. Harleigh, I, wore a sequined mariachi dress from Mexico and a matching sombrero from Spain. "This outfit has been in the family for a long time," Louisa Turner said. "I wore it in this contest when I was a baby and won second place." In die end, however, die duds that really wowed the judges belonged to 2-year-old Kara Acker.

Darlene Acker said it took her about two weeks to create the outfit from pictures off the Internet. The most difficult part was cutting out die stars that decorated the vest and skirt. The work paid off, however, when Kara was awarded "Best Overall." "I was really upset at first," Acker said. "They didn't announce it until the end, so we diouglit she didn't win anything." Bull riders lay it all on the line for 8-second adrenaline rush By Jessica Sanders Staff Writer The temperature was high Sunday afternoon, but it wasn't enough to cool down James Mac. Mac, a bullrider from Houston, held on for two rough rides to win the Comal County Fair Bull Riders Extravaganza with a score of 164. "The heat didn't make a difference," he said, wiping sweat from under his black cowboy hat. Some of the bulls and riders stayed tough, while others fell flat during the fair's 11th annual Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association event. Mac said bullriding is especially challenging because it's a mixture of luck and skill. Riders draw their bulls at random before the competition. "You've got to draw real good, but you've got to ride real good, too," he said. Mac, an 11-year-veteran of the bullriding circuit, said his family's love of rodeo helped lead him to his career as a cowboy. "My dad rode bulls and my sister ran barrels," he said. "Most people go camping on the week end, but we did rodeo." Sherry Heinmeyer said rodeo has also become a way of life for her family. Her boyfriend, Fair Director Russell Urban, has worked behind the scenes at the fair's rodeo for more than IO years. "It's a family tradition," Heinmeyer said. "I don't want to see the cowboys get hurt, but I enjoy the thrill of watching." Fair Drover Nathan Dolle said he is finished with his bull-riding career, but working behind the scenes keeps life from getting dull. He puts the flank ropes on the bulls before the ride, and then removes ropes after they are returned to die corral. "The bulls buck up sometimes, they aren't very happy when they get back in there," he said. "I'm done with bull riding, but this keeps me in it." Evan Schmidt, a bull fighter from Morse, said he also gave up a career in bullriding to focus on protecting the cowboys.

Saturday, the National Weather Service in New Braunfels recorded a high temperature of 105 degrees. Sunday, it was 106. Monday hit 105 and today's expected high is near IOO. Some relief is anticipated Wednesday through the weekend when the fall's first cold front rolls through, bringing high temperatures late this week down into the 80s. While the weather service doesn't have statistics for New Braunfels, the weekend's highs in San Antonio of 105 easily eclipsed that city's record of 97 degrees set in 1993. National Weather Service Meteorologist Dennis Cook said Saturday's high was caused by hot. dry southwest winds spun off by Rita. "Sunday, it was just dry . high pressure over South Central Texas," Cook said Monday.

Anali: The New Home
I didn't sleep a wink that night but I wasn't really tired. I sat on the window seat that was in my room and looked out into the city. It looked so much more peaceful at night. Just then my cell phone went off. Who would be texting me in the middle of the night? I looked at my phone and almost dropped it when I saw the name. It was my ex-BFF Laura! I opened it at read the text.
Hey Ana! I'm really sry about what I did at school the day before u vanished. I went to ur house to say sry but ur 'rents said u ran away! I'm praying that ur cell isn't dead! Text me back!
I really wasn't sure of what to think. I decided after a minute or two to finally text her back and tell her the real reason why I wasn't with my parents anymore.
Laura don't believe anything my 'rents say 2 u. They're lying. They kicked me out of the house so I didn't know where to go. Right now I am staying in an apartment with some other kids.
I hit send then turned back to the window before falling asleep on the window seat.

Vettel triumphed at Suzuka for the fourth time in five years, and at the fifth consecutive grand prix this season, to move within touching distance of his fourth successive Formula One world title.
But instead of blasting away from pole position and opening up a gap, as has become his modus operandi over the years, Red Bull and Vettel had to play a more tactical game.
From second on the grid, Vettel was beaten into the first corner by both the Lotus of Romain Grosjean and his own team-mate Mark Webber.
To complicate matters, Vettel sustained minor front-wing damage after it clipped and punctured the right-rear tyre of Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes.
It meant Vettel had to be patient and let the race and a two-stop strategy come to him, before pulling off the defining overtake when he passed Grosjean for the lead after his second change of tyres.
Assessing a very different victory for Vettel, Horner said: "He had a damaged car, and yet he just managed to adapt.
"He played the thinking game. He watched and he waited in that first stint, and he preserved the tyres.
"He was very smart in the way he handled the race. He created the options for himself by having the range in that first stint.
"He then did the same in the second stint by making the tyres go longer and further than any of the other drivers.
"And then when he had the one opportunity when he needed to nail Grosjean, he did so immediately."Reuse content

ITV announced a fresh round of job cuts yesterday and appealed for help from the regulator Ofcom to dump much of its public service programming, as the nation's biggest commercial broadcaster revealed a slump in advertising.
New figures revealed that ITV plunged £1.54bn into the red in the first half of the year as it cut the value of its broadcasting businesses - including Meridian, Anglia and HTV - by £1.6bn due to a drop in advertising bookings for September and fears that the economic downturn will continue well into 2009.
The news was a serious blow to Michael Grade, who quit his post as chairman of the BBC in November 2006 to become the executive chairman of ITV. Shares in ITV dropped 10% amid worries about the company's ability to pay off its debts. Many in the City reckon the broadcaster is now an obvious target for a takeover, especially as Rupert Murdoch's satellite empire BSkyB prepares to offload its 17.9% shareholding.
Having held up through the first seven months of the year, television advertising has fallen off a cliff in recent weeks. ITV's advertising revenues for next month are already down 20% with the television market as a whole down 17%, year on year. Even stripping out the 2007 Rugby World Cup, which saw England reach the final and pulled in the advertisers for ITV1, revenues are down about 15%.
Grade was yesterday forced to admit that the gloomy economic climate means the business will miss some of the targets he set less than a year ago. "If you had told me at the time that we published the [turnaround] plan where we would be in 2008, which nobody forecast and nobody could have forecast, of course our plan would have been different," he said.
"This is a cyclical problem; it is not a structural problem. We are going through a downturn, that does not change the fundamentals of the business," he added. "Television viewing is at its highest level for 16 years so we are doing something right."
But Grade desperately needed some good news. His turnaround of ITV was based on improving its programming, spending £1bn a year, but new dramas that were supposed to bring in a younger audience - such as Echo Beach, The Palace and Rock Rivals - were high-profile flops.
He will be hoping that upcoming productions, including a remake of the cult 1960s TV series The Prisoner, starring Ian McKellan and Jim Caviezel, a lavish new production of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights and the return of staples such as I'm A Celebrity ... , will pull in the viewers and lure back advertising money.
To help pay for these productions ITV had expected its international business, which sells formats and programmes overseas, to make £1.2bn a year by 2012. Yesterday, however, ITV was forced to reduce that target to £1bn. It had also forecast that its online businesses, which include Friends Reunited, would make £150m a year by the end of the decade. That has been pushed back to 2012.
To save the missing cash, ITV yesterday halved its dividend payout to shareholders and announced that it wants to save a further £35m a year through "efficiencies", which will include job losses from the company's 5,000-strong workforce.
Grade also made it plain yesterday that he needs to be able to save money by dramatically reducing the public service programming that ITV is required to make in order to retain its licence.
The company has been locked in negotiations with Ofcom about its public service broadcasting (PSB) remit. ITV reckons it spends about £200m a year on national and regional news, religious programming and productions made outside London to meet its requirements. But the value of the broadcasting licences it gets because of its PSB status are much lower - at about £45m today - and diminishing because of the switch to multi-channel digital television.
ITV is already reducing its regional news output, despite protests from unions and MPs, and last month MediaGuardian published a leaked Ofcom document showing the regulator is minded to let the broadcaster further reduce its public service programming as the analogue TV signal is switched off in 2012. Grade, however, made it plain yesterday that he wants action much sooner.
"It is unarguable now that Ofcom needs to take quick action to redress the imbalance in the value of the licence and that which we are required to provide," he said.
"We would prefer to retain our public service broadcaster status, but not at any price ... the issue is the timing and how quickly we could get to a sensible accommodation and not have to spend way in excess of the value of that licence providing public service broadcasting."

Dear Dean,-
Sam examined these two words that sat on top of a blank sheet of paper. Dear Dean...it sounded so formal. Not at all like the little brother Dean had known just months before. Besides, since when had they ever used formality with eachother? Hell, Dean had written him one letter the whole time they had been apart, and he hadn't even bothered to sign it, much less greet him.
He tore out the sheet from his notebook, crumpled up the paper, and threw it into the trash can on the other side of the room, then posed his ballpoint pen to the fresh sheet of paper.
Hey, Dean,-
Perfect. Casual. Not screaming "college has corrupted my soul into being polite to you, jerk" or "save me, I miss you like hell". It was just a greeting. The perfect greeting for an overly-protective bull-headed big brother who would probably torment him if he sounded too hippy-like; or too anything-like, really...
His pen hovered over the next line. Damn. Now what was he supposed to say? Should he rush into a rant about what idiots his professors were? Should he ask about hunting? Or should he ask if they were okay first? Should he even mention Dad?
I hope you're both okay-
He stared at these words. They weren't lies, but they just weren't right. He crumpled this sheet of paper, pitching it to the garbage can. He didn't want to sound like Dad used to when he used to call back after leaving him and Dean alone. You two okay? or the infamous Hope you boys are okay if he had to leave a message. Like they were one and the same...he marvelled at how easily he had made this same mistake as he disposed of this paper.
Sam copied out his greeting again, then paused. How exactly should he put this delicate matter? He screwed up his face, thinking. What would Dean say? He allowed his mind to dwell on the infinite possibilities (after all, the best part about Dean was that Sam could never quite put his finger on what his big brother would say next), then decided on a first sentence.
Hope you've been keeping your dumbass safe and alive-
Nah. Sam crumpled it, and sent it sailing to join the other two. Dean certainly was a dumbass. But Sam, however, was anything but a dumbass- he knew it was about as safe to call Dean anything too derragotary (less he be demonically possessed when he read it) as it was to scream after a Wendigo.
Sam bit his lip, then pressed the pen to paper.
There's this girl in a couple of my classes. Her name's Jessica Moore, and-
No way. He regretted writing it the second he had pressed the pen into the page. Like Dean could get his hopeless brain out of the gutter long enough to even think past if Sam had asked her out, drank with her, and the things that usually followed those kinds of dates- things Sam would be ashamed to do on a first date that Dean probably fantasized about doing five minutes in- hell, possibly before that.
He ripped out the paper, savoring the tearing sound. He had to wonder if Dean's little bread-and-butter note had been this painful.
I hate writing this letter to you, especially that I have to write it-
Too honest. Way too honest. Out of the notebook and straight into the trash.
He chewed the inside of his cheek, finally ressolving to just write whatever the hell he wanted, figuring that's what Dean probably did.
Hope you're doing okay, and that the hunting's going well. College is pretty good- some of my professors are idiots. You'd hate it here, but I kind of like it.
Hmm...there it was. The perfect opener. Sam relaxed, allowing himself to write out some of his deepest feelings (stuff inside he didn't even know was there). It was like writing a note to himself-
As he read back over it, he realized that's exactly what it was- a diary entry. Dean would never let him live it down if he sent him a friggin' soap-opera themed letter. Best start again...
Finally, he stiffly wrote out a note that was perfectly neutral. Okay, so it sounded like some Stepford freak had written it, but better that than a diary. Sam had finally decided not to write anything until he was possitive that it wasn't too dorky. He'd written the whole letter- no way was he going through this again any time soon. Perhaps never again. So now, he had to decide what to put at the end.
Sincerely, Sam?
Yours truly, Sam?
Love, Sam?
Love, Sam?
From: Sam? Your brother, Sam?
Your brother, Sam?
Finally, he just signed his name, neat and simple, underneath his closing remarks.
He had sealed the letter into an envelope and addressed the envelope with "Dean Winchester" before his pen paused. Dammit. After all of this, after finally composing this waste of paper and words, he had forgotten that Dean had no address- unless, of course, you considered the Impala a good enough address. And his brother checking his e-mail? He had to chuckle at the mere idea. He had sent nine e-mails to Dean, and none of them had ever been replied to.
He crumpled it and threw it in a graceful arc to the trash can, where it settled in with all of the other rejected letters to his brother.

The government-backed survey of about 5,500 11- to 16- year-olds show that 53 per cent of the girls do not eat breakfast, one-third skip lunch and 17 per cent do not eat dinner.
The first survey, in 1986, found that 62 per cent ate breakfast, 84 per cent ate lunch and 89 per cent ate dinner.
The study, by Health Promotion Wales, is part of a wider European programme co-ordinated by the World Health Organisation. The latest report Diet and Young People in Wales, 1986-1992 shows that both boys and girls eat snacks more often.
The figure for boys snacking has risen from 28 per cent to 40 per cent in six years.

MUSIC REVIEW; Relaxing Together In Warmth And Blur
By BERNARD HOLLAND
Published: April 22, 1995
Little-played music has a perverse habit of showing up in flurries. Indeed, no sooner had Colin Davis brought the Sibelius Sixth Symphony to the New York Philharmonic a few weeks ago than the same enigmatic piece showed up on Wednesday night at the first of two San Francisco Symphony programs at Carnegie Hall.
Its four movements vary in mood and level of declamation, but a certain static quality hangs over all of them. Musical exposition does not so much begin and end as appear and disappear, often with little warning. Dynamic gesture is tempered by soft modal whole-step resolutions. Herbert Blomstedt's conducting probably had a lot to do with the very different character of Wednesday's performance; for where Mr. Davis and his Philharmonic players had produced fine, clear outlines, the San Francisco players smothered Sibelius in a warm, loosely organized indeterminacy.
This curious quality of playing held true through both Wednesday's and Thursday's programs; and hearing the orchestra so seldom in concert, I cannot really explain it. Nielsen's Suite in A minor introduced the San Francisco's resonant lower strings. The sound is rich and relaxed; it made the Praeludium dance graciously and later helped us forget the thinness of young Nielsen's inflated, though heartfelt, passions.
But in Nielsen as in Sibelius and as well in Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" after intermission, one had the impression of strong musicians who for one reason or another were having a hard time playing together. Detail in the Sixth was hidden in fog banks of approximation, as if the back-desk violinists really had no idea what their conductor was doing and proceeded as if none was before them. Everyone landed on the right spot at the right time, but even strongly accented entrances were not always arrived at precisely. Is this kind of blowziness, which by the way has an amiability of its own, an active interpretive style? I don't know.
Thursday's familiar repertory, with its widely shared stylistic gestures, muted such problems, but they never really went away. The San Franciscans were good accompanists in the Beethoven Fourth Piano Concerto, and the scaling back of string parts to near chamber proportions fit not only the music but also Peter Serkin's elegant and highly precise musicality in the solo parts. How interesting it is to hear Beethoven's brass and winds, usually half hidden in big-orchestra sound, speak out so clearly.
The big Schubert C-major Symphony at the end offered admirable intentions, hazily realized. This is music that lives and dies by the execution of the dotted rhythm, and yet no one could really decide just how it should be played. Horn players stretched the long note, rushing and slurring the short one. String players veered between crisp, elastic correctness and galumphing approximations. Hearing balanced definition in the wind sections (peopled evidently by good players) was a constant effort. It will be interesting to hear what the San Francisco's new music director, Michael Tilson Thomas, makes of this orchestra.

The ICC International Court of Arbitration chairman Pierre Tercier has resigned after a disagreement about the future direction of the court.
Tercier's resignation, which will take effect from the end of June, follows a decision by the ICC chairmanship, headed by Marcus Wallenberg, that it would not propose a renewal of his term in office to the executive board and national governing bodies
Tercier had been appointed chair of the Court in March 2006 which would have seen his term at the end of this year.
The chairmanship said that the decision had not been taken on the basis of Tercier's professional activities as chairman of the Court, but due to divergent views on the organisational relationship between the Court and the general secretariat of ICC.
An ICC spokesman added: "In view of the chairmanship's decision and its impact on his activities as chairman of the court, Mr Tercier decided to resign."
The successor to Tercier, who was appointed chair of the Court in March 2006, will be selected in due course.

Ok, I haven't done a silly post in a long time. Given that I haven't been posting every day I have not felt in danger of taking myself too seriously, but I should stay committed to my policy of regular silly posting none-the-less. I guess the real danger of taking yourself too seriously is when you think you are not in danger!
So, my silly post this week is about my idea to stage a protest outside of Red Lobster! We could make signs, form a picket line, stamp back and forth yelling slogans. It could even be a nationwide Red Lobster boycott that could make for silly nationwide news coverage!
Why am I picking on Red Lobster? What have they done? Violated workers rights or paid their employees paltry wages like McDonalds? Served french fries with 19 ingredients like McDonalds? Why am I not calling for a boycott of McDonalds instead??
Well, it's biblical.
The bible says that shellfish are an abomination! In fact, it says so 7 times, so it must be like a really bad abomination! So, that is why I'm asking the question (despite the fact that I don't believe hell exists, that happiness is inevitable for all living things, including lobsters, and that in the end Love always wins): Are lobsters going to hell?
Leviticus 11:10 says "Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you."
I'm not really clear if this means that those who eat lobsters are going to hell or that the lobsters themselves are going to hell, but someone sure is going to hell and it definitely means we should stage protests outside of Red Lobster! Right?
I always think of this when I see people protesting Equal Rights for LGBTQ persons on the basis of the bible. I want to join them with signs saying "Lobsters are Going to Hell!" and "Poly-Cotton Blends are Sinful!" and "Stop Women from Braiding Their Hair NOW!" (Yes, Leviticus also bans wearing cloth "of two kinds of material mixed together" and women braiding their hair or wearing gold, pearls or costly garments.)
In looking up Leviticus verses for this post I actually came across a website called God Hates Shrimp. I was relieved to find out that the site was in fact a parody, pointing out just the sort of thing that my Red Lobster boycott aims to – that to pick and choose which bible verses to plaster on neon green poster board is hypocritical at best, bigoted and hateful at worst.
The blog 11 points put together a list of 11 things that are banned in the bible that we do anyway, and no one thinks a thing about it. And there are much more than 11 things – and not all of them are silly. Along with the rules stating how many camels should be given in dowry to the husband's family, how many chickens should be given to the rabbi after each woman's menstrual cycle before she may enter the temple again and how a man may not harm the edges of his beard, the bible also calls for stonings and all kinds of barbaric punishments for relatively minor offenses and endorses slavery, as long as the slaves are foreigners.
Personally, I believe more in tuning in to the Living Word of God that resides in our hearts and tells us what is right, what is loving and what brings us closer to Christ or Krishna, but for an alternate use of bible verses – here is a list of 15 bible verses that support LGBTQ Equality!
So, in a typical self-contradiction, and in a typical silly post turning social justice, I have changed my mind and instead of boycotting Red Lobster, I call for Lobster Rights! Lobsters and Shrimp Unite! Take a stand for your worthiness in the eyes of the Lord! In my heart of hearts I know, God Loves Lobsters, too!
In the absence of a Lobster Rights Campaign, please consider helping Human Rights Campaign in their fight for equality!
