Shuddup Hill 4: The Retard Version
Chapter 1: What the Hell
It all began two years ago, when Henri TownShit moved into Room 302 of North AssFeeld Heights, a crappy apartment building located in a sickeningly little tiny-sized city, north of AssFeeld. Henri was very happy and was beginning to enjoy his new life living alone in this new apartment until five days ago, when something unexplainable had happened. Henri began to wet his bed each night. One other weird thing: He simply just couldn't get out of Room 302.
Two years ago...
"Um... Mister Sonnderland... what the hell do you think you are doing, looking through my suitcases?" Henri asked, as he stared at the Super suspiciously. "Are you trying to steal my stuff?"
"Huh? Who? Me? Ha-ha... um... well, I-I... I... um... I... nothing... ha-ha... I was just trying to see if I can help you to bring up some of your suitcases..." He replied nervously, with a cheesy smile.
"Oh, its okay actually... I can bring the rest of my stuff to the room myself, Mister Sonnderland..." Henri said, as he walked up the stairs clumsily with the five suitcases in his hands.
"Please, call me Crank..." The Super replied. "And its alright... I needed the exercise anyway..."
"But Mister Sonnder... um... I mean, Crank... you don't..."
"Nonsense... Now look Henri, just let the cute guy help you with your suitcases already... now, how many more suitcases do you have left?" Crank asked.
"Huh? Who's the cute guy?" Henri asked, looking around.
"Me, of course." Crank replied proudly.
Henri sweatdrop.
"Well... in that case, you could help me to carry the remaining 128 suitcases at the bottom of the stairs..." Henri replied.
Crank sweatdrop.
After huffing and puffing, carrying the 128 suitcases, up the many flights of stairs to the third floor, Crank was practically sweating out like a pig. The Super then throws the final few pieces of the suitcases into the living room of Room 302 before he collapses onto the floor on all four, like a cockroach, as he suffers from the involuntary twitching and cramps in his arms and limbs.
"HEY! Watch it, old freak! Dammit! Those are my stuff you are dealing with..." Henri scowled. He then looked at the pathetic old man lying on the floor. "Um... Crank? Are you alright? Crank?" He asked, when suddenly a look of fear plastered across his face. "OH NO! THE SUPER'S DEAD... HE IS DEAD... THE SUPER IS SO FUCKING DEAD..." Henri said. "This is all my fault..."
"Shut up, you fucking bastard..." Crank shouted. "I'm not yet dead..."
"What shall I do with the body? WHAT SHALL I DO WITH THE FUCKING BODY?" Henri screamed. "Wait! I could pour acid on him to get rid of the body... no... maybe I could chop the body into pieces and serve them as dinner for the everyone... tee-hee... that'll be so cool..."
Crank sweatdrop. "I SAID I'm NOT yet dead, asshole..." Crank shouted.
"Or... or maybe I could just burn this place down, together with the body..." He thinks aloud. "Or maybe..."
"Ouch!" Henri wailed.
"LISTEN TO ME AND SHUT YOUR BLOODY MOUTH UP, YOU IDIOT... I'M RIGHT HERE, ALIVE AND KICKING... I'M NOT YET DEAD, OKAY? YOU SICK BASTARD!" Crank retorted.
Henri gasped. "Oh my god! You are alive? CRANK, you are ALIVE! YOU ARE ALLIIIVVVVEEEEE!" He screamed madly as his arms swings wildly in the air.
Crank sweatdrop. "Stop it, you imbecile... you look stupid..." Crank muttered as he covers his face with his hand and shakes at his head.
"WHAT? What do you mean I LOOK stupid?" Henri scowled.
"Well... stupid as in 'idiot'... 'moron'... 'brainless'... 'retard'... and..." The Super replied.
"SHUT UP, OLD MAN! I'm not stupid! I'M NOT STUPIDDDDDD! Okay? Well, maybe for the retarded and brainless part... (looks over to see Crank staring hard at him)... alright, alright... fine, I'm also an idiot and a moron... but I'M NOT STUPID!" Henri screamed at the Super.
"Yes, you are!" The Super said sarcastically.
"No, I'm not... dammit!" Henri argued.
"Yes... yes... yes!"
"No... no... NO!"
"Oh yeah? Bring it on, old man..." Henri challenged the Super, as he bounces back and forth on the spot, clutching at his fists.
Crank laughed haughtily. "No go, Henri... the apartment lease contract clearly states that Super cannot be beaten up or abused in any way by any of the tenants..."
"Huh? What the-?"
"Ha-ha... I win and you LOSE!" Crank snickered.
"Damn..." Henri grumbled.
"Oh yeah... speaking of apartment lease, why is the rent for this apartment so bloody cheap?" Henri asks.
"Well... um..." The Super began to fluster.
"Oh god! Don't tell me its got something to do with that rumor..." Henri scampered.
"Um... ha-ha... w-what rumor? What the fuck are you talking about?" The Super stammered, as he looked around uneasily.
"You mean you don't know? How can you not know about such things?" Henri said.
"Ha-ha… um… w-what things?" Crank asked, staring stupidly at the ceiling as he played around at his fingers.
"You dumb or something? Haven't you heard? There's this rumor from one of the tenants here... um... wait, let's see... i-its... its something about a guy who used to live here... he suddenly disappeared a few months ago..." Henri asked the old man innocently. "So what's that all about? Is he a magician or something?"
Crank immediately turned pale in the face. "Huh? Um... w-what do you mean?" He choked at his own saliva, as he looked around and feigned ignorance. "Um... Henri, don't just believe in whatever gibberish things you hear from the other tenants here... ha-ha... (gulp) this... uh... this room... um... is p-perfectly perfect... eh, trust me..." He said, looking away nervously.
"Hmm… alright then..." Henri finally relented. "Well, for a moment there, I thought that this room was haunted by ghosts and that a serial killer is on the loose trying to murder the occupants of this apartment building or something..."
"Um... ha-ha... well..." Crank looked around and he acted as though someone was calling him from outside. "I... I-I... I think I hear someone calling me... um... ha-ha... I-I... I'll make my move now... ha-ha... um... BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Crank immediately ran out of the apartment in fright.
Henri stared at the Super as he leaves the room. "Weirdo..." He shrugged as he continues to unpack his stuff.
End of Flashback...
Joey Schrubber slowly got up from his bed as he looks around the bedroom. The walls of the bedroom were covered in vomits. "Huh? What's with this room anyway? The disgusting vomits, the smell, the slimy shit... eeeeeeeeew... I can still see the chunks of meat and vegetables splattered all over the wall? Now that's gross... geez, is the person sick or something? (snickers) HEY! Wait a minute... (looks around the room) this looks like my room..." He told himself.
Joey could no longer stand the disgusting sight in the bedroom any longer. He quickly made his way out of the bedroom and squirms his way down the smelly and slimy-looking, vomit-filled narrow hall to his living room.
The living room was in an even greater mess. Not only were there traces of freshly vomited food all over the entire apartment walls, the unearthly sight of foul smelling wet excretion seeping through the ceiling above him was beginning to make his stomach churn and his bladder burst.
"What the hell is WRONG with this apartment? I mean... it IS my apartment alright, b-but... but what the fuck has happened to it?" Joey grunted. "There's crap, crap and CRAP everywhere... damn fucking cheap apartments!"
Then, all of a sudden, the lights in the apartment started to flicker and a brownish wet stain suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the wall. The disgusting pungent of wet excretion was getting stronger every minute. The excretion stain on the wall soon evolved into a huge brown patch as thick slimy wet excretion begins to seep through its surface, and a big fat purple Teletubby was seen wriggling its tub-of-lard smelly ass through the stained wall. The Teletubby then stumbles and falls to the ground with a thud.
(Teletubby giggles)
The giggling Teletubby slowly hopped towards Joey.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed like a girly punkass and fainted.
Henri jerked awake from his dream.
"Woah... what a fucking dream and (He looks down at his pants)... AAAAAAAH! I've wet my pants, again! Shit..." He groaned. Henri looked around his room. The room was back to its original state. No crap. No rubbish. Nothing. And most importantly, there was no freaky Teletubbies.
He immediately got out of his bed for a quick change of pants.
Henri cringes at the very thought of Teletubbies. In fact, he hated the Teletubbies, especially the purple one. Their stupid giggling sounds always make his head hurt bad. Henri always feels that there was something weird and seriously wrong going on behind those childish giggles and fake cheesy smiles of the Teletubbies. With all the information he had gathered through many years of research and confrontation, Henri finally concluded on one thing.
The Teletubbies were gay.
(Telephone ringing)
The telephone on his bedside table suddenly rang. Henrie stands limply by his bed, with his pants down, as he stared at the ringing telephone like a complete moron. It basically took a while for the reality to seep into his retarded tiny brain before he realized that his telephone was actually ringing. Henri immediately pulls up his new set of clean pants and buckles it before making a run over to the telephone.
"H-hello?" He answered.
"Hello." The voice replied.
"Yes?" Henri asked.
"Who is this?" The voice continued.
"Hey, you are the one calling, so I should be the one asking you that... so who the fuck are you?" Henri retorted.
"Why don't you tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine?"
"What the hell? Now, look here.. who are you trying to reach, anyway?"
"Oooh... what's that noise?"
"HUH? WHAT? WHAT NOISE? There's NO fucking noise around here... and stop changing the topic, you sick fuck! WHO are you trying to reach?" Henri shouted at the receiver.
"Its popcorn? Right?" The caller asked.
"Like hell, no! Look here buddy, I seriously think you've got the wrong number!" Henri said.
"What? No way..."
"Yeah, I think you do... no worries, dude... it happens ALLLLLL the time..." Henri comforted the caller.
"So, what's with the popcorn? You watching a scary movie?" The caller continued.
"What the-? I TOLD YOU BEFORE... THERE'S NO POPCORN, DAMMIT! NO POPCORN, YOU IDIOT! DON'T YOU EVEN BOTHER LISTENING TO WHAT I'VE SAID?" Henri yelled at the top of his voice.
"I see..." The mysterious caller finally said.
"There you go... now stop bothering me and-"
"So, what's your favorite scary movie?" The caller interrupted.
Henri sweatdrop. "WHAT?"
"Hello? Are you still there?" The bothersome caller asked.
"SHUT UP AND GET A LIFE, LOSER... DAMMIT! I'm gonna hang up..." Henri said.
"WAIT... WAIT... Don't hang up on me, yet!" The mysterious caller screamed.
Henri slammed the receiver back onto the phone.
(Telephone ringing)
"Great! Now what?" Henri thought. "Hello?"
"You haven't told me your name yet..." It was the mysterious jackass caller again.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GO EAT YOUR OWN SHIT, YOU MORON..." Henri screamed at the receiver disappointingly. "I'm hanging up..."
"YOU HANG UP ON ME ONE MORE TIME AND I'LL MAKE SURE TO RIP YOUR GUTS OUT AND LET YOU BLEED TO DEATH!" The caller threatened.
"What? Is this a prank?" Henri asked. "Is that you, Crank? This IS so not funny..."
"No, you dimwit... I'm NOT Crank..."
"Okay, fine... have it your way... and since you are at it, I might as well just play along with you..." Henri answered annoyingly, as he rolls his eyes over. "So, why do you want to know my name anyway... Mister-Psychopath? I mean, I'm just a typical, handsome and sexy looking single white male with an attractive bum and..."
"SHUT UP! I just wanna know who I'm looking at..."
Henri gasped. "What did you just say?"
"I SAID, I wanna know who I'm looking at... Sidney..."
"What the hell? I'm not Sidney... dammit!"
"What? Wait, isn't this... the Prescot residence?"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Henri asked.
"Oops... sorry, got the wrong number! BYYEEE!"
The mysterious caller hung up.
"What the hell?"
Henri throws the receiver angrily down at the telephone. "THAT'S IT! NO MORE NUISANCE CALLS FOR ME!" He said to himself as he viciously rips the cord of the telephone out from its socket box. "Ha-ha... that'll teach you psycho-maniacs from calling to... Oh my god! Why didn't I think of that? THE telephone! That's it... I can use it to call out for help and... (glanced back at the telephone)... S-H-I-T! I've ripped the cord off already..." He groaned miserably. "Dammit..."
Henri then heads out into the living room where he still sees the front door tightly chained up from the inside.
(Weird moaning sound…)
"Five days ago... that was when I first wet my bed... Damn... since then, I haven't been able to get out of my apartment... My fucking world has been turned upside down, inside out, and round and round and round... The door's heavily chained up and all the windows are sealed shut... Strange enough, I can still breathe... I wonder where the supply of air is coming from..."
Suddenly, the words "Do Not Go Out, Wolter" appeared on the door.
"What the hell?" Henri exclaimed, as he places his hand on the writing. "Dammit! Its permanent ink! Now Crank's gonna beat the hell out of me for this..."
(Sounds coming from outside the door)
"Eh? What the-?" Henri said to himself as he moves forward to look through the peephole on the door. Outside, along the corridor, was a fairly attractive lady busily stuffing bottles of milk into her grocery bag.
"That's Elyne Craving from next door... and... and... damn, she's stealing my milk... AGAIN!" He fumed. "That bitch!"
Elyne nervously looked around to make sure that her there was nobody around before she stuff the last bottle of Henri's milk into her grocery bag. "Tee-hee... I sure hope that all these milk for my milkbath will change my luck before the party tonight..." She mumbled to herself before walking away to her own apartment.
(Henri bangs on the door)
"HEY! BITCH... LEMME OUT... CAN YOU FUCKING HEAR ME? LEMME OUT AND... WAIT! D-DID YOU JUST SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A PARTY? WHAT PARTY? IS IT FUN? KINKY? DAMN... WHY WASN'T I INVITED?" Henri screamed. "HEY BITCH! ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING? I SAY LEMME OUT, GODAMMIT!"
(Continues to bang at the door)
"Eh? What the fuck is that noise?" Eylne stopped at the last bottle of milk in her hands as she lifted her head up to look around.
"ITS ME... YOU DUMB BROAD... GET ME OUT OF HERE...!" Henri pleaded.
"Oh... ha-ha... its just my stomach growling..." She giggled as she continues to stuff the final bottle of milk into her grocery bag. "Meh... I am so hungry... Guess I'll just pop by UnHappy Burger for a quick bite..." She said as she walks down the corridor.
Henri sweatdrop.
Just then, Henri felt something slipped under the door and he bends over to pick it up. It was a message with the words "Mommy-dearest... wake up already, dammit!" childishly written on a tiny piece of dirty paper in colorful crayons.
"Fuck... do I look like someone else's mommy?" He shouted angrily. "Damn kids nowadays... can't even differentiate between a man and a woman..."
Henri throws away the piece of paper in disgust as he walked towards the fridge for some snacks. But to his dismay, all that was left in the fridge was a bottle of expired chocolate milk and an empty wine bottle.
Moments later...
Henri slowly walks towards the windows at the far end of the living room, when he noticed some crappy old scrap book sticking out awkwardly from behind the bookcase. "Eh? What is this?" He said to himself as he bends over to pick it up to read at its contents.
"Through the silly Ritual of the Holy Exhumation, he built a wonderland. It exists in a fucking space isolated from the wonderland of our Management. To be more precise, it is either within or without the Management's wonderland and that sucks big time. Unlike the wonderland of our so-called capable Management, it is a funny place in extreme flapdoodle. Explicit broken doors or jagged walls, dancing floors, sexy-looking creatures, a fantasy wonderland only he can play with... any sucker being swallowed up by that wonderland will automatically be granted to migrate over there forever and ever and ever and ever... as an undead. The new immigrants will then gain their exclusive life-long realm membership, absolutely free-of-charge. But how can the wonderland Management allow such rules? I mean, it practically violates all the wonderland practices that we preach... not to mention the possible losses incurred through tax payments..."
"What the hell?" Henri mumbles. "Who the bloody idiot is the author anyway? Everything written in this piece of crap just doesn't make any logical sense... dammit... what a rip-off..."
Henri then disregards the stupid scrap book as he looks through the windows in the living room, staring at a slutty woman with big boobies doing some cheap erotic dancing along the subway entrance. The woman giggled like a retard as she dances provocatively along the stairs when suddenly, she loses her footing when her heels slipped off the edge of the stairs and she falls and rolls down the flight of stairs into the subway station. "What a bitch..." Henri snickered with a snort.
(Heavy loud crashing sound from the bathroom)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He shrieked, looking startled. "Shit... I nearly crap in my pants... Dammit! What the bloody hell was that?"
Henri swiftly made his way to the origin of the noise as he enters into the bathroom. To his shocking find, Henri saw a hole in the wall.
"What the hell?" Henri exclaimed. "Oh shit... the Super is so gonna kill me this time and... (his eyes suddenly brightens up)... hey! Maybe this could be my ticket outta this freaky room... WOO-HOO!"
Henri excitedly hopped towards the entrance of the hole to pull out a broken pipe, which was sticking out in an awkward position from the edge of the hole on the chipped off wall, before shoving his big head into the grimy-looking hole.
"Hello? Anybody there?" His voice echoed, as he continues to squeeze himself through the dark and smelly tunnel.
Henri began to crawl along the tunnel. "Meh, this tunnel is damn filthy... I mean, look at all this filthy rubbish in here..." He grumbled as he continues to push himself further into the tunnel when, not long after, he saw a beam of light at the other end of the tunnel.
"Ooh... goody... goody... THE EXIT!" Henri cheered. He could almost feel the taste of freedom. The moron giggled like a girl as he continues down the filthy tunnel towards the light.
"Yes... a little bit more... a little bit more..." He told himself. "Just a little... Huh? What the fuck?" He shouted in disbelieve.
(Making pig-like struggling sounds)
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Fuck! I'M STUCK!" He screamed as he started to hyperventilate.
He struggled hard in the tunnel. "Alright Henri... calm down... there's gotta be a way out of this situation... now, think thin... Henri... think THINNNNNNNNNNNN!" He reassured himself.
Henri kicked and struggled inside the tunnel when suddenly, the light at the end of the tunnel suddenly grew brighter and brighter, until he was totally swallowed by the whites of the light.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! MY EYES... MY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSS!" He hissed, as he writhed in agony. "HELP... I'M STUCK IN A FUCKING TUNNEL AND I CAN'T FUCKING BREATHE... AND NOW MY EYES HURTS... HEELLLPPPPPPPPP!"
Henri was screaming so much that he fainted from exhaustion.
Henri slowly opens his eyes. He looks around groggily, only to find himself sitting on the steps of a very slow-moving escalator. "What the hell?" He wondered. Henri attempts to stand up when he lost his balance and falls down the moving escalator.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He cried painfully.
Henri slowly pulls himself up from the floor as he looks around the place. "Holy cow! What the fuck is this place anyway? It looks like the North AssFeeld Subway Station but... where the fuck is everyone?" Henri grumbled as he continues down the empty hall at when he chanced upon a scantily clad woman standing at the far end of the hall, back facing him.
"Helloooo, lady..." He called out. When the woman did not respond, Henri shouted out again. "HEY! YOU THERE... BITCH, I'M CALLING YOU!"
The woman turns around. Henri shrieked, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek..." He screamed before he puked all over himself. The woman was the most hideous-looking piece of crap Henri had ever seen in his life. She had thick bushy eyebrows with tiny sesame seed-sized eyes and she also has a goatee around her big and fat slimy lips.
The woman sweatdrop.
"Oh, stop squirming like a sissy!" She scolded him. "Anyway, who are you? What your name?" She asks.
"Um... H-henri..." He stammered. "And you?"
"What? This is my dream and you don't even know my fucking name?" She said sarcastically. "Its Sinthia."
"What the fuck are you talking about? What dream?" Henri scowled as he stares at her suspiciously. "Are you high on drugs?"
"Oh, shut up Henri..." She said. "Don't you know? This is just a dream... MY dream... and for your fucking information, I'm not a drug-y... asshole... (looks at him) Geez... guess you are not that smart after all, aren't you?"
"Oh yeah? So, you think this is your stupid fucking dream, huh? A dream, is it? A DREAM? A DREAMMMMM?" He rumbled madly as he pulls at his hair.
"Stop it, Henri... you are scaring me..." Sinthia chided. "Anyway, I really wanna get the hell out of this stupid place... but I just can't find the exit... Will you help me to find it?" Sinthia said, as she playfully fondles at his chin.
"Stop that... it tickles!" Henri scolded as he swipes her hand away.
"Alright, fine... so what do you say?" She prompted.
"What?" Henri asked annoyingly.
"Dammit, Henri... I said, will you help me to find the exit?"
"Hmmm..." Henri hummed.
Five minutes later...
"Well?" She asked impatiently.
"WHAT? After all this time, and all you could come out with is 'NO'?" She said angrily.
"You said this IS your dream... your little fantasy, right? So you go look for your fucking exit yourself, bitch..." He said, with his hand shooing her away.
"Arrggghhhh... alright... alright... here's the deal... I'll do a SPECIAL favor for you if you help me out here..." She said, as she runs her fingers suggestively along her sexy neckline.
"Oooh... kinky!" Henri purred.
"Yeah... this necklace of mine is indeed precious... its yours if you could help me out here..."
"What the hell?" Henri almost shouted.
"What do you mean 'what the hell'?" Sinthia asked, as she looks at the weird expression on his face. "DAMMIT HENRI... WERE YOU THINKING OF SOME SEX-EXPLICIT KIND OF REWARD? WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE TO YOU? A WHORE OR SOMETHING?" She said angrily.
"Well... um... ye... I-I... I mean, no... NO... of course not! Eh, trust me... ha-ha..." He faked a cheesy smile.
Sinthia continues to stare at him angrily.
"Alright... alright... let's just go find the exit and get you outta here..." He said, as he rolled his eyes over.
As soon as he had said that, Henri began to walk down the hall with Sinthia following up behind him. The duo continues down the poorly lit hall as they childishly pushed at one another, punching and pinching at each other while screaming and laughing out loudly.
The two hadn't walked far from where they had started when Sinthia suddenly groaned as she stopped abruptly while clutching tightly at her tummy in pain.
"Hey! What the hell is your fucking problem now, bitch?" Henri asked.
"Henri... wait... I-I... I don't feel so good..." She said.
Henri, who had finally sensed the seriousness of the situation, immediately walks over to Sinthia. "Are you alright, Sinthia? I swear that I did not kick you there... really... I swear!" He said.
"No Henri... its not that..." Sinthia replied. "W-wait a minute... Henri, I-I... I think I'm gonna puke..." She reaches for her mouth to cover it with her hand.
"Shut up, bitch... I know I've not been showering this past few days but... honestly, I don't think I smell... at least not that bad, that is... wait... you ARE gonna WHAT?" Henri scowled.
"Henri... I-I... I said... I... I am gonna puke... NOW!" She shouted through her retch as she rests herself onto him for support.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew... get away from me, bitch... I don't want you to vomit all over me... um... (looks around)... go over to the restroom over there... go... Go... GO!" He screamed as he pointed in the direction of a nearby restroom. Sinthia quickly struggles past him, as she ran madly towards the restroom.
Three hours later...
Henri lazily stood by the wall opposite the restrooms, wondering what was keeping that fucking bitch so long in the restroom. He taps his foot impatiently at the cold cemented floor and whistles.
"Meh... what the hell is that self-obsessed vomiting bitch doing in there? Its been like three hours already..." He thought. "Even with the vomiting out of her guts and all her internal organs wouldn't take that long..." He thought.
(Sounds of door opening)
The door to the men's restroom slowly creaked opens.
"What the-?" He mumbles. Henri slowly walked towards the entrance of the men's restroom for a closer look.
"Sinthia? Is that you? Hurry up and come out now, you fucking bitch... this is SO not funny... you hear me?" Henri suddenly stopped as he stood frozen over his words. "WAIT! If Sinthia had gone into the ladies' restroom just now... then this can't be her..." He debated as he stared at the door with his bloody mouth wide open.
However, before Henri could even finish his conclusion, the door to the men's restroom suddenly swings ajar and something flew out.

Awsome Lipstick!

This is natural and moisturizing! The color is a beautiful mildly frosty pink. It perks up any look. Most importantly, it does not have the taste that most commercial lipsticks do - that toxic chemical flavor that you just can't get away from. This is creamy delightful and you doesn't have any weird taste to it at all! Highly recommend any of these lipsticks from Honeybee Gardens. Its about time someone made a product like this!
Great natural color

Furious commuters have hit out at black cab drivers after a protest over the "destruction" of the capital's taxi trade left them stranded in central London during a downpour.
Drivers parked their cars outside Palestra House, opposite Southwark Tube station, as part of the demo against issues including "deregulation of the taxi trade" and complaints over rules surrounding minicabs.
Video posted on social media showed hordes of vehicles crawling past the building on Blackfriars Road as bus routes were diverted away from the area over fears of delays and congestion.
The protest blocked roads around Southwark and Waterloo station, with some passers-by reporting that an ambulance struggled to make its way through the protest.
Twitter user Bethany Lovell described "gridlock" at Waterloo.
She posted a picture of the ambulance pulling into a traffic jam close to the iMax cinema with the caption: "[Traffic] still at a standstill, even @Ldn_Ambulance can't get through."
Others described chaotic scenes as they tried to make their way home from work during a torrential downpour.
Jordon Butt tweeted: "Irony: when your bus is 40 mins delayed due to a taxi demo so you consider getting an UBER home."
Victoria Smith added: "I set off from work over 1.5 hours ago and still stuck in #traffic #taxidemo #demonstration #london #nothappy."
And, Siobhan Andrews said: "Well this taxi demo has messed up my evening. No uni for me today."
The Independent Taxi Alliance said in a statement about the protest: "It's perfectly clear to us all, TfL have an agenda to destroy the London Taxi Trade.
"There has been widespread incompetence and alleged corruption at TFL and by taking part in demos, we are showing TFL we have had enough.
"The message behind the protest is simple: No more deregulation and no more dismantling of the taxi trade."
Peter Blake, TfL's Director of Service Operations, said: "There is no need for this protest that will cause unnecessary disruption to people trying to go about their business.
"We urge the organisers to call it off. The Mayor has recently launched a comprehensive Taxi and Private Hire Action Plan that is aimed at driving up standards and improving safety.
"We will work with all industry stakeholders to help shape the implementation of the Action Plan."

It's been quite a week for "Joe the Plumber," aka Joe Wurzelbacher of Ohio. His comments elicited a telling moment of candor from Barack Obama, who insisted that "when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." The redistributionist tone of Obama's remarks received plenty of attention, not least from John McCain; they were a rare – and disturbing – insight into the mindset of an unusually disciplined candidate who has been remarkably under-covered by the press.
Not surprisingly, things soon took an ugly turn for Joe. In an effort to discredit him, the media camped out on his front yard and started nosing around in his past. In just two days, America learned more about Joe the Plumber than the press has told us in two years about Barack Obama. Both Obama and Joe Biden ridiculed Mr. Wurzelbacher, scoffing that they knew very few plumbers whose taxes would increase under their plan. Videos even went up on YouTube, fantasizing about Joe's violent death, and publicizing his (and his ex-wife's) phone numbers.
Maybe Joe should have expected it. After all, Americans have seen this kind of vitriol before. Back in 1991, the left unleashed the full weight of its fury against Clarence Thomas, a black man who refused to subscribe to liberal theories about race. It surfaced again this summer, when "feminists" came after Sarah Palin. Now, it's Joe's turn.
Justice Thomas, Governor Palin and Joe the Plumber have one thing in common: Their lives make a mockery of the Democrat Party's
To those with left-wing sympathies, Joe's repudiation of Barack Obama's tax plan must seem incomprehensible. How can a plumber like Joe – who, as Obama and Biden took pains to point out, hardly falls into the category of "rich" – want to vote for Republicans? How can he identify with the "haves," when (in their estimation, at least), he should be seeing himself as an aggrieved "have-not"?
Up until now, the left has had its own answer, albeit a remarkably condescending one. Liberals have concluded that people like Joe simply don't understand their own interests. In "What's the Matter With Kansas?" Thomas Frank theorized that blue collar voters have ignored their economic interests because of an allegedly delusive belief in a "liberal elite" pushing a left-wing social agenda. In part, it's the issue Barack Obama was addressing when he told liberals at a San Francisco fundraiser that, because economically distressed workers had been underserved by government, they "get bitter, [and] they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Joe the Plumber's great achievement was stripping bare those pretensions. He made it clear that he understands his economic self-interest perfectly well, thank you. And he isn't interested in supporting a politician who asks him to mortgage his dreams for the future in exchange for a handout today.
There are still many people like Joe the Plumber in America. We'll find out just how many on Election Day. In the meantime, their views were well-represented by a family friend, a guy who's working eighty hours a week in order to succeed at a new job and support a young family. Agreeing with Joe the Plumber, he said, "I don't want their money, I don't want their "help," and I don't need their sympathy. I just want to be free."
Amen, brother.

Drawer 311328, New Braunfels, Texas 78131-1328. or brought to our offices at 186 S. Casten. The grapes of wrath Dear editor : On March ll, my husband and I and our children were doing our weekly grocery shopping at Kroger's, as we have done for the past several years. (Since they opened .) We had shopped a few aisles, when we were apprehended by the store manager, Mr. Robert Wade. who, after a slight argument, accused us of eating grapes before purchasing them Shocked at such an accusation. we replied that we were chewing gum. not eating grapes. Our own son. riding in the cart, had. however probably consumed 4 or 5 grapes, and we apologized profusely (and offered to pay for them). The manager continued to berate us in front of our children, other customers and employees He states he had witnesses who had seen us consuming the fruit Although humiliated and hurt, we continued our shopping, (filling two carts) and moved to the checkout counter There we asked for Mr Wade so that we could settle the grape situation and asked to bring forth his "witness " At this point, unkind words were exchanged between us. but not an apology on Mr Wade's part We are disappointed with Kroger's attitude, as reflected by Mr Wade, and have written him accordingly Although avid Kroger shoppers for years, we will no longer set foot within the store, and wish to advise our friends of the manner in which we were mistreated Futher. we wanted the community to know the type of attitude exhibited by the management Same u ithheld Double standards To the editor. Fellow taxpayers. I am tired of the double standards being presented by current long standing members of council concerning our present ftnan cia! straits lf I have heard it once. I have heard it a dozen times. "previous councils have shirked their responsibility by not raising taxes " My what short memories they have' Some were members of those previous councils and were always very vocal in their opposition to any form of tax increase Then to add in suit to injurs they petitioned and campaigned for a 40 percent homestead exemption saying that "our taxes are too high, they need to go down." I wish to call your attention to the Wednesday, Sept 28. 1983 front page headline in the Hearld-Zeitung that says "Five-cent tax hike needed for new exemption." This is in reference to a public workshop held to discuss the 40 percent exemption. As you now know, this advice was not taken Instead. several months later your council incumbents tCIoodbread. Tieken and Winkler* ran and were elected by supporting a tax cut Therefore, it is no one s fault but their own "Let s call a spade a spade." I hope you will remember this tomorrow w hen you vote and vote to elect council members who "will say what needs to be said, not what you w ant to hear " Respectfully submitted. Chere Stratemann Realtors haven't endorsed Dear Sir . As an active member and officer of the New Braunfels Board of Realtors, I would like to set the record straight A recent letter to the editor stated that the Board of Realtors had selected and supported a particular candidate for city coun cil. This is not correct The New Braunfels Board of Realtors has not endorsed or selected any one candidate for city council The board does encourage the active participation of its members in the political Action Committee In keep mg with this philosophy, we sup ported a forum at our March meeting at which all nine candidates had the opportunity to present their views and positions Just as any other segment of the community. Realtors are interested and concerned about the well being of our city and are therefore par ticipating in the campaigns of various candidates, on their own not at the behest of the Board of Realtors Sincerely.

I can\'t imagine what kind of an explanation I would give the police for shooting a bad guy who is 1000 yards away.:question:

In a defensive situation I would only shoot if it prevented my death or the death of someone in my family, regardless of range.
I can\'t imagine what kind of an explanation I would give the police for shooting a bad guy who is 1000 yards away.:question:
Up to 100 yards i can reliably pin someone down with a handgun. not every shot will hit obviously, but it will be enough to keep their head down while i escape.
There\'s a parking lot at my college that is right up against I-95. I-95 is recessed and while exiting his car last year, a student was shot at from the other side. that\'s a good 40-50 yard engagement. He was unarmed, but in the same situation i would have not trouble taking cover and returning fire. The ******* is wildly spraying shots at you so take good aim. you\'ll probably only get off 1 or 2 shots before he bolts. Hit him or miss, you stopped the threat.
If the criteria for taking a shot are met... I would shoot at the BG where ever he was.
With my USP .45 100 and some yds is probably my absolute limit. With my XD9 sub my limit is around 75 yds. But under stress it would be real tough and these #\'s are probably optimistic.
If my life or the life of another is threatened u gotta do what u gotta do.
My eyesight is 20/20 with corrective glasses. I can\'t make out someone\'s features at 60yds.
It\'s 100feet from my front door to the street of my property, 200ft from the back of my house to the edge of my property, 60feet on each side.
So how far out would I engage? As far as my voice travels combined with as far away as I percieve a threat to my existence/home is.
What do you do if you HAPPEN to be using your bird watching binoculars and see five guys creeping/running towards your house from 200 yards away? How do you know there is a threat directed at you? Don\'t you have to visually or verbally engage the suspect/target 1st?
NYC Drew
\"What is the longest shot you would take at a BG?\"
How far away is the BG when he decides to attack me? there is your answer... :kay:
95% of the time I practice at 7 yards. That is the backdrop I built at my home, rural area. Next spring we are having a horse barn built and I will also construct a berm at 25 yards and expand my practice routine. As someone else said, if the conditions were right, I\'d let one go at whatever the distance.
Just say he tried to run and you gave him a five minute lead...Originally posted by Hask12
I can\'t imagine what kind of an explanation I would give the police for shooting a bad guy who is 1000 yards away.:question:
To restate the obviously already stated:
You engage the life threatening bg, . . . when and where he/she becomes a life threatening bg: 3 inches or 100 meters, . . . life threatening is life threatening. If it isn\'t, . . . y\'all best not be shooting.
Distance is the good guy\'s friend, . . . if he is capable at that distance, . . . near proximity works more in the bg\'s favor.
Personally, . . . my plan is to stop the threat just as soon as I ascertain it is indeed a deadly/maiming threat.
May God bless,
Depends on the situation, is the BG 25 yards away and shooting at me? If so, 25 yards, as that is the farthest I can expect to reliably place rounds accurately.
I shoot IDPA twice a month. With handguns I regularly practice a draw from a cover garment at ranges from contact out to 25 yards. Three in an \"A\" zone (either center chest or head) are often required.
My 5.56mm I practice out to 300 meters with iron sights. One shot every 3-5 seconds on reactive targets.
My M1A Super Match with rangefinding Shepherd scope I can fire a 5 rd group at 100 yds and cover it with a dime. Out to 900 yds I\'m pretty certain of hitting a man sized target in the chest 90% of the time.
But somebody else on the board put it perfectly, so I\'ll quote that post: \"When my life is in danger? As far as I need to.\" That says it all....just perfectly. :kay:
When he starts shooting at me...I would be running and shooting at him!
As soon as the BG shoots at me I am p***ed, I would be shooting back and trying to find a place to hide me and my family!
I\'ll shoot as far and as many times as I need to.
I regularly practice handgun shots out to 150m. My normal range is alternating shots at 50, 75, and 100m.
Most of the guys who don\'t think they can hit something at those ranges haven\'t tried - it\'s really not horribly difficult.
This means that when I have the allegedly typical 7 yard shot it shouldn\'t be much of an issue - I practice far harder than I expect to ever have to use it.

TB & Chest Dept/Hospital Govt. Medical College, Patiala, India
Recent literature implicate free radicals in physiologic/pathophysiologic processes and in wide spectrum of diseases.Tuberculosis is an ancient disease but has stayed in modern times. Mycobacteria are intracellular pathogens who grow and replicate in the host macrophages. In an attempt to kill mycobacteria, host cells namely-macrophages, neutrophills and monocytes generate huge amounts of reactive oxygen species, which also contribute to inflammatory injury to host tissues. Many studies are not avialable where oxidative stress and antioxidants have been studied in pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). So present study was undertaken.
In 50 patients of PTB and 30 normal controls,malonyldialdehyde(MDA)as marker of oxidative stressand glutathione(GSM),Vit.C,superoxide dismutase(SOD)fot antioxidants status were studied.MDA,GSH,Vit. C and SOD were estimated by methods of Stocks and Dormandy(1971),Beutler et al (1963),varley (2004) and Marklund and Marklund (1974) respectively.Patients of PTB were classified according to radiological extant,sputum grading and cavity status.
Levels of MDA,GSM,Vit.C &SOD and there statistical significance is as given in table below there was significant correlation between radiological extent,sputum grading and cavity status of PTB and the levels of MDA, GSM,Vit. C and SOD.
There is oxidative stress and decreased antioxidants activity in patients of PTB which correlate with radiological extent,Sputum grading and cavity status.

Mr Frank Painter
Mr Frank Painter was born in Southampton, Hampshire, England in the second half of 1883.
He was the youngest son of Henry Painter (b. 1841), a bricklayer, and Fanny Diaper (b. 1842), Southampton natives who were married in 1869, and he was brother to Henry David (b. 1870), William James (b. 1877) and twins Thomas John and Edwin Mark (b. 1880).
He first appears on the 1891 census living at 20 Cross Street, St Mary, Southampton and by the time of the 1901 census he and his family are residing at 9 Popes Buildings, Southampton and Frank is described as a general labourer.
He was married to Elizabeth Jane Grant (b. 1881 in Totton) in 1906 and they had two children: Elsie Doris (b. 1907) and Frederick Frank (b. 1909). Although absent from the 1911 census, Frank's wife and children were shown living at 27 Morpeth Terrace, Mortimer Road, Itchen.
When Frank signed on to the Titanic, on 10 April 1912, he gave his address as 10 Bridge Road, Southampton and his previous ship as the Olympic. As a fireman he could expect to earn monthly wages of £6, 10s.
Frank Painter was lost in the sinking and his body, if recovered, was never identified.
His widow Elizabeth never remarried and remained living in Southampton. In 1926, she lost her daughter Elsie aged just 19. Elizabeth herself died in 1969 aged 88. Her son Frederick died in Crosby, Liverpool in 1974.

LIFE starts to get a little blurred around the edges as we get older - after all, it's rare to reach middle-age without your eyesight deteriorating.
If you are lucky, you probably just need reading glasses. But the bleaker picture is that you could be suffering from one of the age-related eye conditions detailed below - some of which can lead to blindness if not tackled early enough.
These conditions are easily spotted by an optician, but at the moment four million pensioners are failing to have a free eye test, thereby putting their eyesight at risk.
So don't be short-sighted when it comes to your ageing eyes. Here's a round up of the conditions to be aware of and how to protect your peepers from them...
AGE-RELATED macular degeneration - AMD for short - affects around 500,000 people in the UK. It occurs when cells in the macula (an area at the back of the eye) are damaged.
Dr Frank Eperjesi, a research optometrist at Aston University, says: "Dry AMD is the most common, where sight loss occurs gradually over several years. But with wet AMD, which affects 10 per cent of sufferers, sight goes rapidly."
Symptoms include loss of central vision and distorted vision. Despite the names, the terms "wet" and "dry" bear no relation to the way the eye feels.
Protect your peepers Being a smoker significantly increases your risk, so pack it in now - even just living with a smoker doubles your chances of contracting AMD. Obesity, poor diet and exposure to sunlight also make you vulnerable.
Dr Eperjesi says: "Wear sunglasses with a total UV block. And eat at least five portions of fruit and veg a day, especially green leafy veg such as spinach and kale, which contain lutein.
One study showed that 10mg a day of lutein could help to reverse dry AMD."
If you can't stomach spinach, try an eye health supplement instead, such as Visionace (#6.95 for 30 tablets) from pharmacies. See your optician if you suspect you have dry AMD. But if your vision is distorted go to your nearest A&E as your sight could be in danger.
Lucentis, a new drug for early-stage wet AMD, is now licensed. In trials it improved vision in a third of patients and stopped deterioration in most.
Call the Macular Disease Society helpline (9am-5pm) on 0845 241 2041.
MORE than half of over-65s have some evidence of cataracts, which are caused by a clouding of the lenses.
Symptoms include blurred or double vision, light sensitivity and seeing a yellowish tinge.
Protect your peepers As with AMD, give up smoking and eat healthily. "Smoking destroys the eye's defence mechanism and, along with obesity, alters the body's ability to absorb nutrients from food," explains Dr Eperjesi.
Long-term sun exposure is also known to raise your risk of cataracts, so don't forget your shades - even on bright winter days.
Fortunately, they are easily cured with a simple, low-cost operation to replace the clouded lens. The 45-minute procedure only requires a local anaesthetic.
Dry eye syndrome
LACK of tear production causes a painful dryness in the eyes.
Central heating, air conditioning and regular computer use all make it worse. Seven per cent of over-50s are affected.
Protect your peepers Include lots of omega-3s in your diet. These are found in oily fish, fortified breads, walnuts and sesame seeds.
Research has found that women with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their diets have a 20 per cent lower risk of getting dry eye syndrome than those with the lowest levels of omega-3s.
Eye drops can soothe irritation while Clarymist (#12.95 for 10ml) reduces the evaporation of tears. Or ask your optician about special plugs for the tear duct to stop tears draining away.
Long sight
AS we age, the lens - the transparent body behind the coloured bit of our eyes - loses its ability to focus on near objects.
Protect your peepers Reading glasses should correct this problem. However, there's also a state-of-the-art surgical solution. Only available privately at around #2,000 per eye, you can have an operation to replace the faulty lens with an artificial multi-focal one - this can fix both short and long sight.
For advice, call the Eyecare Trust on 0845 129 5001 or visit www.eye-care.org.uk
THIS sight-threatening condition affects two per cent of people aged over 40, but, tragically, half don't become aware of it until too late.
Glaucoma is caused by damage to the optic nerve due to a build-up of pressure. It leads to tunnel vision and eventually blindness.
It's important to spot it early. So make sure you go for eye tests every two years - or every year if you have a close relative with glaucoma.
Call the International Glaucoma Association on 0870 609 1870 or visit www.iga.org.uk
EVERYONE should go for an eye test every two years, but the over-70s and anyone at risk of a disease like glaucoma should have annual check-ups.
Even if you have perfect vision, your optician may spot life-threatening health problems including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a brain tumour or even an imminent stroke.
Call the RNIB helpline on 0845 766 9999 or visit www.rnib.org.uk .

I stood,
waiting for an age.
The warming rain poured down on me.
I waited for the sun to shine.
The moment didn't come.
I sat,
my spirit feeling dead.
I was in a circle which I'd drawn around me
in the hope of finding strength.
No strength came.
I watched,
alone and scared;
the changing landscape passed me by.
I was stuck with my problems.
No solution came to light.
I sigh,
my tears barely noticeable to me.
I gaze out of the window
of the tower he'll rescue me from.
The exit is the entrance
but the prince has not come in.
I lie,
in mind-numbing pain
at the foot of the stairs
for someone to find me: someone to comfort me.
No one has come for me.
You're hanging,
from a string my words tied around you
- else why should you read?
You want a satisfactory ending...
Don't hang around.
It might not come.

Moira Stuart tells us "tax doesn't need to be taxing" on scores of television ads and on thousands of poster sites when she urges us to send in our self-assessment forms by 31 January. But it is taxing. And if you haven't dared think about it yet it could be too late, even if there are still some days to go – unless you signed up last week, all the speed your broadband can muster will be of no help.
For thanks to the now-traditional cack-handed interface between government departments and what is still called "new" technology, signing up to file online involves completing an electronic form and then waiting until the snailmailman delivers not one, but two, envelopes, each containing a secret code. One has a pin and the second a user ID. You need one to unlock the other.
And all this can take up to seven working days to arrive. It might be slightly quicker than this, but there is no way any new application will result in the two envelopes hitting your letter box in time for January 31. So if you've not already applied, you are well and truly stuck.
HMRC's reasoning is that old excuse "security". It says: "The pin and user ID is sent to the last known address we hold on our database for that taxpayer – neither one on its own is of any use if stolen." Apparently, in Revenueland the post is more secure than codes sent directly to your inbox.
Security is to be applauded, but how sad do you have to be to want to fill in my tax form? ID fraud exists but who can gain from hijacking my return?
So if you've not got your pass codes, what do you do to avoid all those penalties and interest payments hiding behind Moira's smile?
Under a little known tax law you can only be fined if you owe money. No one who pays in full (or overpays to be on the safe side) can be penalised, even if there is no form. You could therefore work out what you owe and send the Revenue an online bank transfer.
The only problem is the calculation itself. Unless they are tax experts, most people use the Revenue's free online software to work out how much they owe. But, in a wonderful bit of circular thinking designed to drag more people into the penalty zone, you can only access the software if you log on using the codes contained in the envelopes that won't arrive in time. An alternative is to find an accountant, which will probably cost in excess of £150, or buy commercial software from a firm like TaxCalc.

Every week we take a peek back at the best of the hair, makeup, and nail looks we saw on the blog, and this one is no different. Here's the cream of the crop:
Look 1) Taylor Swift's saucy shaggy hair and gold smoky eyes at the AMAs.
Look 2) Anne V's ethereal eye makeup.
And look 5) Taylor Swift's faux-bob updo.
You'll notice Taylor made the list twice this week—a first! But both her looks were too gorgeous. I just couldn't choose between them.
Which is your fave?

18 March 2013: "There's No Point In Making The Effort And Taking the Risk of Travelling the World, Disturbing People And Animals As You Go, When You Can See It All on TV or the Internet."
Seeing Is Believing
"We went to Sea to see the World/What do you think we saw?"
There is something - and I'd like to believe that it's in all of us - that bids the urge to explore. To find out. To seek truth. It's like a pandemic of knowledge-seeking, fuelled by determination and dopamine, to find out everything about anything. I certainly feel it. And with the Internet and shows like The Big Bang Theory - a show about the adventures of a group of know-it-alls - it's almost become cool to embrace you inner nerd.
But then there's another side to it that not everyone has. The types you'll find at Scouts and Cadets and similar organisations have it. Most sport-inclined people have it. "It", that I discuss here, is the urge to go out, get up and experience for yourself what the World is really like.
I know that not everyone is so inclined: I, for instance, am as bookish as they come. But I think that everyone should travel the World, if only to broaden their own character and have an understanding of the place they live in that somebody's article - like this one - or a TV show just can't tell you.
For instance. The Internet cannot show you what life is like in rural Arcadia (in Greece), it can only pique your interest. Most people, if they read a blog or watched a show on Arcadia, they would think at once that they know an awful lot about the place, its people and its customs - when, in fact, it is crazy to think that at all. The one true way to discover this place is by visiting it - because you will always discover more that way. Someone will always tell you something more; show you something more, that the show missed out, which brings me onto my next point:
TV shows - and the Internet - have an audience that has almost no attention span. There are only twenty-four hours a day and I'd say that for the average person three or four of those [hours] are spent on the Internet, and websites like Twitter and Wikipedia reflect this. There is absolutely no way a blog (for the sake of argument) about a visit to Bora Bora (ditto) could fit everything about the system and culture there without becoming boring and subsequently unpopular. It is well known that the Internet is a very social kind of network and nobody likes to be ignored: after all, nearly everyone is on there. But I digress. The point is, the TV and Internet must omit detail - precious detail, that could give you more of a feeling for the place - to keep its viewers interested.
In light of this I will continue, to say that there has in recent times been a lot of misinformation circulating the Internet. I believe rightly that this misinformation largely results from misunderstanding. A certain celebrity had it right when she said that "anyone will believe anything if you put #fact after it" and it is true. Many people would rather post than think, in fact, they do so, and slander, rumours and half-truths (if they contain any truth at all) are widely circulated under the pretence of being "scientific studies". How, I ask, in view of such misinformation, is one supposed to form correct and proper judgement of a people or a place, or deduce truth from untruth?
It follows without question that a student or postgraduate should travel the Earth. Not everything in TV shows or the Internet is true fact, and the only way to find out the truth - and to broaden one's horizons and come back a better-rounded person - is to go and see for yourself. There are different ways of doing things out there, ideas we can bring back home and implement, if they are superior. The information exchange rates between people are higher than ever, yet most of it is false and it is not all there. People and animals need to be seen, to be observed, and in the case of the latter, eaten - in sensible amounts, and people to be observed in a non-intrusive way, but I hoped that went without saying.
In fact, I wish you, Reader, were not reading this article now. I wish you were up, out, and doing something with yourself and yours while you still have time left. It is sad, anyway, to watch presenters talking to these amazing people and doing these amazing things while you yourself just sit there.
Go. Go now, find yourself a holiday or travel destination, and find it all out for yourself.

Clive Palmer is insisting power companies prove they have reduced electricity prices by the full amount of the carbon tax in a legislative amendment the Palmer United party senators will insist upon before they will vote to repeal the tax.
Palmer had his first meeting with the prime minister, Tony Abbott, on Thursday morning after his dramatic announcement alongside the former US vice-president Al Gore on Wednesday.
The PUP leader is beginning to provide some details of the only condition he has put on his party's support for the carbon tax repeal: that there be tougher legal requirements to ensure the repeal flows through to household bills.
"The Palmer United party amendments will provide an enforcement mechanism to ensure the generators and then the retailers are required by law to pass on the full benchmarked electricity and gas price falls associated with the carbon tax repeal," Palmer said in a statement.
"This would go beyond government provisions which only give the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission enhanced monitoring arrangements."
Industry groups were scrambling to try to understand what Palmer meant by the condition on Thursday, but Guardian Australia understands it will involve reversing the onus of proof – in some way requiring companies to show and certify that they have taken the full carbon price out, rather than just relying on the ACCC to monitor prices.
Sources say Palmer wants to hold Abbott to a promise he made last year.
"When this bill is passed, this government estimates that power prices will go down by 9%, gas prices will go down by 7%, and that means that the average power bill will be $200 a year lower and the average gas bill will be $70 a year lower," Abbott said on 15 October.
But exactly how Palmer's idea would work is unclear given that prices are set by state regulators in all states but Victoria and South Australia, and the carbon price increase averaged 9% but varied between states depending on how they generate power. Furthermore, big industry usually gets power through long-term contracted arrangements with generators.
The ACCC chairman, Rod Sims, has said he believes he has all the powers he needs to make sure the repeal is passed through to lower household bills.
Emerging from his first meeting with Abbott since the pair had a very public altercation at a Liberal party federal council meeting two years ago, Palmer said the prime minister had been "very receptive".
"To be fair to the PM, our agenda we announced yesterday was a surprise to him, but with any good idea, he's taken time to get some advice and that's what you would expect him to do," Palmer said.
He thought Abbott would be able to agree on the power price amendment.
"He can legislate anything, he has a will to do that," Palmer said. "It takes a few days to draft up provisions.
"If energy generators are going to save a lot of money they should pass that on to their customers. We will put our amendments and see whether the government accepts them. Sincerity is always subject to proof, so we want to see them passed to see electricity prices brought down," Palmer said.
Abbott's spokeswoman also said the meeting had been "genial" and the government was confident it would be able to achieve the carbon tax repeal.
Palmer is continuing to insist he will seek to establish an emissions trading scheme, with the price set at zero until China, the US, the European Union, Japan and South Korea also have such schemes.
But the government would almost certainly reject any new ETS legislation in the lower house.
Palmer claimed he wanted to "change the world" and said he would attend the UN conference in Paris next year where it is hoped a global agreement can be reached for emissions reduction targets to take effect after 2020.
Palmer said his senators would oppose the abolition of the $10bn Clean Energy Finance Corporation and oppose any changes to the renewable energy target until at least 2016.
But he will also oppose the Direct Action plan, meaning the government will be left without a clear mechanism to achieve Australia's international pledge to reduce domestic emissions by 5% by 2020.
The House of Representatives continued to debate the carbon tax repeal on Thursday, in preparation for it to be put before the new Senate almost as soon as it sits for the first time on 7 July.

Forex trading plan for June 26
EUR/USD is fluctuating around 1.1200 as traders await news from Greece. It looks like the negotiators will take their time. On Friday there will be the second day of the EU Economic summit. Before that there will be more discussions and press conferences on Thursday evening. German finance minister Schaeuble said that Greece has actually moved backwards and that no progress has been made so far and that the difference between two sides has become larger. The key differences are over pensions and other budget cuts. On the other hand, EU's Moscovici said the creditors agree with Greece on some aspects of reform proposals. Support lies at 1.1150 ahead of 1.1050.
The pound was supported on Thursday as the US dollar remained held by the hopes about Greece. Yet, there's strong resistance for GBP/USD in the 1.5800 area. Support is at 1.5640 and 1.5593 ahead of 1.5550. The Bank of England's Governor Carney will speak at 14:15 GMT.
USD/JPY is trading sideways. The latest US economic releases have been mildly positive for the greenback, but the yen is supported because of uncertainty about Greece. Keep an eye on Japanese inflation data due early on Friday: figures are expected to be weak and may lead to some USD buying. Still, there's resistance in the 124.40/60 area ahead of 125.00. Support is at 123.20 and 122.45. The US will release revised consumer sentiment figures at 14:00 GMT on Friday.
AUD/USD has some support above 0.7700/0.7680. Resistance is at 0.7795/0.7800 and 0.7850. The near-term outlook for the pair looks neutral. No important releases are planned in Australia. NZD/USD recovered from 5-year lows, but New Zealand's trade balance data if shows deficit may hamper the rebound. Resistance is at 0.6940 and 0.7000. Support is at 0.6850.
