Londoners in growing numbers are unwillingly joining the "£5k Club". That's the group of unlucky commuters who have to stump up at least £5,000 a year for a season ticket. Some pay £10,000 or more a year for the privilege of finding a home in the sticks that they can afford.
However, if instead they ploughed that money into their repayment mortgages, even at an interest rate held at three per cent, and without factoring in inevitable train fare rises over the next 25 years, it could mean an extra £180,000 to spend on a home closer to their work.
No one wants to spend a fortune just to battle on to an early morning train to the office. The solution might be to house hunt in one of the locations where season tickets are cheaper, homes are relatively affordable, schools are good — and the neighbourhood is interesting. Here are some examples.

1. Esher, Surrey
Affluent Surrey provides surprisingly rich hunting ground for those willing to spend no more than £3,000 per year on the commute.
Esher to Waterloo takes 31 minutes by train and an annual season ticket costs from £2,124. In the heart of classic stockbroker belt, Esher is a villagey town of smart boutiques, plenty of restaurants and bars, and the chance to spot a Chelsea player or two, since the club's training ground is in nearby Cobham. Esher Church School, a primary, is rated "outstanding" by Ofsted, while Esher Church of England High School gets a "good" report.
You do not have access to view this Atom.
Alex Herman, a partner at Knight Frank, said that Esher's homes above £2.5 million are not selling fast thanks to increases in stamp duty, but below that things are humming along — with prices up around five per cent last year. Buyers could pick up a two- or three-bedroom Victorian terrace for £650,000 to £700,000, a four- to five-bedroom Thirties house from around £800,000, or blow the budget with a five- to six-bedroom, detached period house for between £1 million and £1.5 million.
2. Dorking, Surrey
Dorking is less expensive, and you are 40 minutes from both London and the coast. Dorking Halls has a good programme of cultural events, there is a cinema, good shops, and Box Hill and Surrey Hills on the doorstep. "There is hardly a front door in Dorking from where you cannot be in countryside within a 10-minute walk," said James Cargin, a partner at Patrick Gardner & Co estate agents.
The area attracts families with its schools. St Paul's CofE (Aided) Primary School is rated "outstanding" by Ofsted and The Priory CofE Voluntary Aided School, for seniors, is "good", according to the schools watchdog. It is a safe and pretty area and when teenagers get bored they can get more nightlife a 20-minute drive away in Guildford.
Up to half of Cargin's buyers are moving out of London — "usually from SW-something". Property options range from pretty two-bedroom cottages at about £250,000 to three-bedroom Thirties semis for about £500,000, to substantial five-bedroom farmhouses on the outskirts for about £1.4 million.
Trains to Victoria or Waterloo take just over 50 minutes. An annual season ticket costs from £2,520.
3. Godstone, Surrey
If you are prepared to get on your bike, pretty Godstone is a good choice. An annual season ticket costs a hefty £3,776 but cycle a matter of minutes to nearby Oxted and you can get to London for an annual cost of £2,168 — and you can cancel your gym membership.
Alternatively, make the three-mile trip to Caterham and be in town in just over 45 minutes. An annual season ticket costs from £1,820. Godstone is the perfect English village, with its pretty green and duck pond, cute timber-framed houses and fine church. This thriving village has three pubs, a primary school and a shop, plus an active football club.
Colin Barwick, director of Rayners Town & Country estate agents, says Godstone's more practical advantages include proximity to the M25 and a location within the green belt. Expect to pay about £350,000 for a two-bedroom cottage; the same for a three-bedroom Thirties semi, or £650,000-£700,000 for a detached Victorian house with five or six bedrooms.
4. Brentwood, Essex
Good-value commuting options north and east of London include Brentwood in Essex. It's famous for Towie, of course, but there are some lovely villages around the well-stocked if slightly brash town. Trains to Liverpool Street take just over half an hour and an annual season ticket costs from £2,532. It is also only a stop from Shenfield, which will join the Crossrail line in 2018, with services to the West End and Heathrow.
Two local senior schools are "outstanding" — Becket Keys Church of England Free School and St Martin's School Brentwood. Nigel Coyne, managing director of Keith Ashton estate agents, recommends Blackmore, a lovely medieval village six miles to the north with pub, shops and school. There is a farmers' market, an annual bonfire night display, a sports club, a youth club, and a pre-school.
Blackmore is one of Chelmsford's more exclusive villages — expect to pay £400,000-plus for a three-bedroom semi, which range from post-war homes to period timber-frame houses. Modern four-bedroom detached houses are around £450,000 to £500,000, while a picturesque manor house with five bedrooms and two or three acres would cost around £1.5 million.
Ingrave village is a couple of miles south of Brentwood with a pub, a shop, a school and a trio of golf clubs. Thorndon Country Park is also very close by for nature walks. Prices here range from £400,000 to £500,000 for a three-bedroom semi, but you could pay well over £1 million for a four- to five-bedroom manor house set in an acre or two.
5. Chorleywood, Herts
Hertfordshire is an option for value-seekers. It includes Chorleywood, a half-hour hop to Marylebone for an annual price of £2,568, with independent shops and cafés in its high street, and the open space of Chorleywood Common. It has great schools: Christ Church Chorleywood CofE School (primary) and St Clement Danes School (senior) hold "outstanding" Ofsted reports.
There are multimillion-pound trophy homes behind locked gates, but you can find three-bedroom properties at about £650,000. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs, and Heathrow and the M25 are near-ish.

Print Interview
It's hard for any of us to imagine what you experienced, as an adolescent, in the concentration camps. How did that affect and change what you did with your life?
Elie Wiesel: It affected me a lot. I cannot talk about myself. I like to talk about other people, not about myself, but I'll try to answer you.
Of course it had an overwhelming effect. After the war -- I was 15 when I entered the camp, I was 16 when I left it and all of a sudden you become an orphan and you have no one. I had a little sister and I knew, with my mother the first night that they were swept away by fire. My older sister I discovered by accident after the war in Paris, where I was in an orphanage. But to be an orphan -- you can become an orphan at 50, you are still an orphan. Very often I think of my father and my mother. At any important moment in my life, they are there thinking, "What an injustice." To date, I haven't written much about that period. Of my 40 books, maybe four or five deal with that period because I know that there are no words for it, so all I can try to do is to communicate the incommunicability of the event. Furthermore, I know that even if I found the words you wouldn't understand. It is not because I cannot explain that you won't understand, it is because you won't understand that I can't explain.
[ Key to Success ] Courage
The idea of the writer's mission, to be a witness, to be a messenger, was that part of your intention as a writer?
Elie Wiesel: I wasn't that ambitious really. I wanted to write. I wrote my first book in Yiddish. In 1956, it came out in Buenos Aires, and then in French in 1958, and in New York in 1960.
I wrote it, not for myself really. I wrote it for the other survivors who found it difficult to speak. And I wanted really to tell them, "Look, you must speak. As poorly as we can express our feelings, our memories, but we must try. We are not guaranteeing success, but we must guarantee effort." I wrote it for them, because the survivors are a kind of most endangered species. Every day, every day there are funerals. And I felt that there for a while they were so neglected, so abandoned, almost humiliated by society after the war.
When I became Chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust in 1978, I wanted really to glorify the survivors. There wasn't a committee that I didn't appoint a survivor, because I felt they deserve it. The same reason I wrote is really for that mission. It's always afterwards that, in a way, your friends or your readers convince you that you went beyond that, that you are a messenger, and so forth. I didn't use those words, I used the words simply, "Look, we have to tell the story as best as we can. And we know that we won't succeed." I know I won't succeed. I know I haven't succeeded. Take the word "Holocaust." I am among the first, if not the first to use it in that context. By accident. I was working on an essay, a biblical commentary, and I wrote about the sacrifice, the binding of Isaac, by his father Abraham. In the Bible, there is a word in Hebrew ola, which means burned offering. I felt that's good. That's "holocaust." That's good because it's fire and father and son. Meaning [in the Bible, it was] the son who almost died, but in our case it was the father who died, not the son. The word had so many implications that I felt it was good. Then it became accepted, and everybody used it and then I stopped using it because it was abused. Everything was a holocaust all of a sudden. I heard myself on television once, a sportscaster on television speaking of the defeat of a sports team and he said, "Was that a holocaust!" My God! Everything became a holocaust. In Bosnia, I remember, they spoke about a holocaust. I went to Bosnia to see. I felt, if it is, I must move heaven and earth. Even if it isn't, I must move heaven and earth to prevent it, but at least not to use the word. Well, all of this really is not very easy, but why should it be?
After the war, you did not speak; you were not a witness, for ten years.
Elie Wiesel: I was. You know...
You can be a silent witness, which means silence itself can become a way of communication. There is so much in silence. There is an archeology of silence. There is a geography of silence. There is a theology of silence. There is a history of silence. Silence is universal and you can work within it, within its own parameters and its own context, and make that silence into a testimony. Job was silent after he lost his children and everything, his fortune and his health. Job, for seven days and seven nights he was silent, and his three friends who came to visit him were also silent. That must have been a powerful silence, a brilliant silence. You see, silence itself can be testimony and I was waiting for ten years, really, but it wasn't the intention. My intention simply was to be sure that the words I would use are the proper words. I was afraid of language.
[ Key to Success ] Integrity
What persuaded you to break that silence?
Mauriac was an old man then, but when I came to Mauriac, he agreed to see me. We met and we had a painful discussion. The problem was that he was in love with Jesus. He was the most decent person I ever met in that field -- as a writer, as a Catholic writer. Honest, sense of integrity, and he was in love with Jesus. He spoke only of Jesus.
Whatever I would ask -- Jesus. Finally, I said, "What about Mendès-France?" He said that Mendès-France, like Jesus, was suffering. That's not what I wanted to hear. I wanted, at one point, to speak about Mendès-France and I would say to Mauriac, can you introduce me?
When he said Jesus again I couldn't take it, and for the only time in my life I was discourteous, which I regret to this day. I said, "Mr. Mauriac," we called him Maître, "ten years or so ago, I have seen children, hundreds of Jewish children, who suffered more than Jesus did on his cross and we do not speak about it." I felt all of a sudden so embarrassed. I closed my notebook and went to the elevator. He ran after me. He pulled me back; he sat down in his chair, and I in mine, and he began weeping. I have rarely seen an old man weep like that, and I felt like such an idiot. I felt like a criminal. This man didn't deserve that. He was really a pure man, a member of the Resistance. I didn't know what to do. We stayed there like that, he weeping and I closed in my own remorse. And then, at the end, without saying anything, he simply said, "You know, maybe you should talk about it."
He took me to the elevator and embraced me. And that year, the tenth year, I began writing my narrative. After it was translated from Yiddish into French, I sent it to him. We were very, very close friends until his death. That made me not publish, but write.

OK I am not religious and I apologize if I offend those that are.....BUT one of my favorite religious jokes fits this to a "T".....
A man living by a river is standing on his porch watching as the rising flood waters are approaching, a man in a jeep pulls up and hollers "Jump in, I'll take you to high ground". The man answers "No thanks the lord will save me" and the jeep drives off.
The flood waters keep rising and cover the porch and first floor and the man is hanging out of a second story window when a powerboat comes by and the man driving hollers "Stand by, I'll come get you and take you to higher ground", the man answers "No thanks the lord will save me" and the boat goes on searching for other people.
The waters keep rising and soon the second story is flooded and the man crawls out on the roof from an attic dormer and is spotted by a helicopter and a rescuer is lowered and tells the man "Put the harness on and we'll take you to higher ground" but the man answers "No thanks the lord will save me" and the rescuer is pulled up and the helicopter leaves.
Shortly there after the house is swept off the foundation and breaks apart, as the man is swept away by the water and is starting to go under he looks up and hollers "Where were you lord, I counted on you to save me and you let me down"!
There came a thundering voice from the sky that said "I sent you a jeep, a powerboat AND a helicopter, what more did you expect".

A man who does not provide for his family is worse than an infidel.
As I'm the husband, I provide money, housing, and protection to my family. If fate takes me away, that is what life insurance is for. They would rather have me fight and survive that sit there helpless and not.
An enemy of liberty is no friend of mine. I do not owe respect to anyone who would enslave me by government force, nor is it wise for such a person to expect it. -- Isaiah Amberay
Theres many ways to view this... I live in a Mennonite area, Mennonites are members of what is called the "Peace" groups. Others in the group include the Amish and Brethren. They believe like your sister does, and most of them will not defend themselves.
People have a vague misunderstanding of God. Some look at the NT, but forget about the OT. God is unchanging. I believe and I know the bible teaches that God is allknowing. He knows our day of departure from this earth. So whether or not I carry, has nothing to do with the day I die. When my day comes, then it comes. But I guarantee you God already knows how it will play out. I am a Baptist, and attend College to become a Pastor myself. My CWP class has 9 members from our church. Although I disagree with your sisters view, I respect her opinion, as I do with some people in my own family who are like she is.
The best thing to do is not argue, since you said she respects your view also.:)
Not to deride your sister's religious views but I've wondered about this point before. I cannot seem to reconcile religious people who also believe in fate. To me, they seem to be at odds with each other.
If everything in our lives is predestined, wouldn't it be a little unfair for a God to punish one person for leading a bad life (ie. sending bad people to hell). After all, the concept of fate is akin to actors on a stage just following a script.
My fate may be already written and predetermined, but I plan to rewrite it to my best advantage...
Maybe my lot is going to be determined by fate, I dont know, but Im not going to win at Powerball without buying a ticket and I sure as hell am not going to win a gunfight if my pistol is on the counter at home.
One of the fundamental truths of the universe is that there isn't anything that cannot be improved with the addition of pirates, ninjas, strippers, midgets or monkeys.
"A car door is not cover. In fact a car is not cover. Cement is." - military contractor in Iraq 2004
Reminds me of something I heard in a movie, I believe it was Pursuit of Happyness;
One day a man fell out of his boat and was stuck swimming in the ocean. Another boat came by and said "Do you need help?" and the man said "No thanks, God will save me." Another boat came by and they asked him if he needed help, but the man said "No thanks, I know God is going to save me." This happened a third time with the same response. The man eventually drowned and went to Heaven. While he was there, he went up to God and said, "I was drowning in the ocean and I was waiting for you to save me. Why didn't you help?" And God said, "I tried to save you 3 times but you said no to all of them."
What are your sisters thoughts regarding the events leading up to her "fate controlled death?" Does she consider having to endure rape, torture and mutilation prior to her death as part of that same fate experience? What makes her think it will only be a gunman who takes her life in an instant?
I can assure you if she looks at that with some abstract concept that it is all part of the "fate experience" then I would strongly urge her to see a psychiatrist, a priest, a minister, a rape counselor, a homicide investigator or a medical examiner. Any one of those mentioned would be able to put things into a proper perspective for her whether it's through spiritual guidance or a reality approach.
I once ran a woman who jumped out of a 3rd story window after being held captive in an apartment for two days. She was sexually tortured and repeatedly raped over a two day period by an escaped convict before she had an opportunity to escape herself by jumping through a glass window on the third floor. She was repeated raped by the man as well as being violated with a the metal leg off of a table and other objects. She was also beaten extensively and burned all over her body with a cigarette. I can assure your sister she wasn't thinking about her destiny being controlled by fate or "God's will" during the ordeal, and if she could have, she would have killed him.
I have stood slack jawed and stared deep into the lifeless eyes of many homicide victims and pondered just what kind of horror they suffered before death came to them. It's a sickening experience.

There is fate, and then there is stupid. Standing in a bunch of rattlesnakes and thinking God will protect me is stupid. If I'm dumb enough to do it, I'm sure God will laugh at me when I see him.
I had a similar discussion with a good friend of mine a few months back. We are of the same faith and church. Her take was that we don't need guns to protect us because God will protect the righteous.
I brought up PLENTY of counters to that from numerous time frames, ie. Martin Luther, Martin Luther King Jr., Peter, James, John, etc etc etc.
I also commented on the use of a seatbelt and possession of a fire extinguisher. Needless to say, you can't convert an anti gun sheeple with fact. At least, not right away.
I carry a gun because I believe that God gave us brains to use. My brain says that if I can protect myself and my family by carrying a gun, I should carry a gun.

One of the biggest football clubs in the world, Real Madrid, and some of its star players, including David Beckham, Zinédine Zidane and Ronaldo, are suing several UK bookmakers over claims they have used the club's name and players' images without authorisation.
The club said it and some of its players were taking action against seven bookmakers, including Ladbrokes, part of the Hilton Group, William Hill, Sportingbet, Betfair and Victor Chandler. It claims these companies have been using photographs and images of players, wearing Real Madrid shirts and badges, on their internet-betting sites without permission.
Real Madrid said: "During the past few years we have seen a spectacular growth in the activities of sporting betting organisations that operate on the internet. It has been proved that these online betting companies use the name of Real Madrid and that the majority of its players without any type of authorisation." The club said it had begun legal action to "obtain the cessation and redress of the harm caused by these companies to Real Madrid and players by the unauthorised use of their names and images".
The bookmakers intend to fight the allegations, however. A spokesman for Ladbrokes said: "The details of these claims are still unclear, but we believe we have done nothing wrong and we will defend ourselves robustly."
A spokesman for William Hill said images on its website are sourced from an authorised, third-party supplier. "The name of Real Madrid does appear on our website, but so it does on every bookmaker's, because we offer odds on its games. We have no doubt that the images we have used were fully authorised and are completely baffled by this action," he said.
Real Madrid said legal proceedings had been launched in France, Belgium and Germany against the companies.

One of the men enlisted by Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to coach his former high school football team has a history of committing violent crimes that was concealed from school administrators through the use of false identities.
Peter Payman was identified in game programs as a coach for Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School's football team until the end of last season. But years before he joined the mayor on the sidelines, that same man served as an enforcer for Alessandro "Sandro" Lisi, one of the key figures in the illegal drug scandal that has dogged Mr. Ford's administration, The Globe and Mail has learned.
Mr. Lisi was arrested last week in a marijuana-trafficking sting that police say is part of a broader police probe examining some of the mayor's associates, an expanding web of characters that have alleged ties to the illegal drug trade. Since May, when journalists from the Toronto Star and a U.S. gossip website reported that drug dealers had tried to sell them an alleged video of the mayor purportedly smoking crack cocaine, concerns have been repeatedly raised about the people the mayor has surrounded himself with – or in the case of Peter Payman, the people he placed around his teenage charges.
Although he is called Peter Payman in the school's football literature, his real name is Payman Aboodowleh, a 38-year-old who has a history of violent crimes, including assaulting a peace officer, assaulting his brother and breaking and entering.
But Mr. Aboodowleh's violent history was not revealed to administrators in the Toronto Catholic District School Board, which says it was supplied a false name for his police records check, a requirement for anyone who volunteers in the board's schools.
In an interview in the doorway of his mother's house, where he lives, Mr. Aboodowleh acknowledged having served a sentence in a provincial jail, but said that his criminal record posed no problems with the school board, explaining that most of his crimes were for "bar fight"-type incidents and not for anything that the school board would deem him unsuitable to work with young men.
But the board says that is not true and that when Mr. Aboodowleh served as a volunteer coach – the board isn't entirely sure how long he was a coach, but several players said he had been with the team as far back as 2007 – information was withheld from administrators about him.
Before the start of 2012 season, which ended with a Don Bosco Eagles loss in the city championship, an incorrect surname was supplied for Mr. Aboodowleh's requisite police records check, with the 'L' in his last name having been replaced with an 'I': Aboodowieh. As a result, the package the school received from the police showed no criminal convictions, said John Yan, a spokesman for the school board. To thwart those who might use pseudonyms to subvert the police record check process, the school is supposed to cross-reference the name on an application form with government-issued identification. It's not clear whether that happened.
Mr. Yan said Mr. Ford played no role in Mr. Aboodowleh's criminal record check, but specified that Mr. Aboodowleh was one of the mayor's recruits. "He was brought in as a volunteer by the mayor," Mr. Yan said.
Mr. Ford did not respond to a list of detailed questions that were sent to two mayoral staffers and a lawyer who has represented him in the past.
Mr. Aboodowleh also started the 2011 season as a coach and at that time also submitted a criminal records check application form, the board and police say. This time, however, his real name was provided, but before his background check was completed by the Toronto Police Service, he was asked to leave the team by the then principal because of a "nose-to-nose altercation" with a player at practice, Mr. Yan said. (Mr. Aboodowleh's return to the team the next season was requested by the mayor, Mr. Yan said.)
Even if that 2011 reference check had been completed, it likely would not have turned up some of Mr. Aboodowleh's recent convictions, such as his 2009 conviction for assaulting a peace officer and dangerous driving. That's because he has yet another alias – Pejman Aboodowleh – that he has used during some of his interactions with law enforcement. That name happens to be the former name of Mr. Aboodowleh's younger brother who was forced to legally change his name in 2003, two sources say, because his older brother Payman's use of his younger sibling's identity during encounters with police.
As a result, the many criminal records that exist within the Ministry of Attorney-General's computer database about Mr. Aboodowleh are listed under two identities – Payman Aboodowleh and Pejman Aboodowleh – and no one in the system seems to have recognized that they are the same person. Two Globe reporters witnessed Mr. Aboodowleh's use of multiple identities firsthand. When they approached Mr. Aboodowleh at his mother's house, he claimed that he was his brother, before admitting that he was in fact Payman.
Exactly how much Mayor Ford knew about Mr. Aboodowleh's history, and his past with Mr. Lisi, is unknown.
Mr. Lisi, 35, has been a drug dealer in central Etobicoke since the late 1990s, according to seven sources interviewed by The Globe who said they have either purchased marijuana or cocaine from Mr. Lisi or witnessed him supplying people with the illegal drugs. Since 1997, Mr. Lisi has been charged with 36 criminal offences, but has only been convicted of six crimes, including assaulting an ex-girlfriend and threatening to kill a different woman, according to a review of public court records.
The Globe has interviewed numerous people enmeshed in Etobicoke's drug subculture and who know Mr. Lisi in an effort to understand how he became acquainted with the mayor. One of the connection points that emerged in those interviews was Mr. Aboodowleh.
"I bet my name came up," said Mr. Aboodowleh, who was wearing a black tank top and green Don Bosco Eagles shorts when he was approached for an interview. He referred to the scandal surrounding the mayor and Mr. Lisi as "a great adventure."
"Like, one day if it comes out in a book, you'll be like 'Wow.'"
Mr. Aboodowleh denied that he had assaulted anyone on behalf of Mr. Lisi but acknowledged that they were long-time associates. His reputation as an enforcer for Mr. Lisi is the product of people who have seen him with Mr. Lisi over the years and jumped to conclusions, he said. "People saw me and must have thought 'Don't fuck with Sandro.' " He added later about Mr. Lisi: "I don't know what he does now. I don't even talk about that guy or like to hear his name."
But in the pocket of central Etobicoke that serves as the mayor's political base, Mr. Aboodowleh's street fights are the stuff of legend. Numerous people interviewed for this story, all of whom spoke on the condition that they would not be identified because of what they said was Mr. Lisi's history of harassing those who cross him, recalled Mr. Aboodowleh taking on multiple opponents at the same time. Three people who said they had direct knowledge of Mr. Lisi's drug-dealing operations referred to Mr. Aboodowleh as one of Mr. Lisi's assets – someone who could be called upon if Mr. Lisi was threatened or if a client needed to be scared into paying their debt.
Mr. Aboodowleh has always had a penchant for tall tales and boasting, the sources said. On his Facebook page, for instance, he identifies himself as a former university-level player at UCLA, and he told The Globe that his scholarship was revoked after he injured himself on the practice squad in his first year at the Los Angeles-based school. However, the online service that UCLA uses to verify someone attended school there found that no one by Mr. Aboodowleh's real name and birthdate had ever been enrolled at the school.
At least one parent of a teen who played for Don Bosco had misgivings about Mr. Aboodowleh. Rob Leaver, whose son played under Mr. Ford for two seasons, said that the coaching staff was great, but that he told his son to stay away from Mr. Aboodowleh.
He said that he isn't necessarily bothered by Mr. Aboodowleh's criminal past – which came as a surprise to him – saying that everyone makes mistakes. But he was suspicious about how Mr. Aboodowleh passed a security check.
"If he's using a different name and purposely … that makes me concerned, and I'm glad I told my kid to stay away from him. If someone has to lie about who they are to be able to hang around children, something's a little bit deeper there."Report Typo/Error

Anonymous Targets Formula 1 Website in Protest of Bahrain Regime
Anonymous, famous for wreaking havoc on credit card companies, major financial institutions and other business titans, is now targeting Formula 1 racing.
Its attacks are based on disapproval around how the Bahrain regime is treating its citizens, even while a major sporting event takes place. Certain members of the Force India F1 team have already left in light of the violence. Thousands and thousands of protesters have also gathered to demonstrate disapproval.
Now, the infamous hacker's association comprised of countless computers volunteered by their owners to blindly contribute to Anonymous' causes is turning its gaze on the Formula 1 site, which is being shut down with a Distributed Denial of Service attack.
An official press release explaining the attacks hit the web late this morning that discussed specific reasons for its interference.
"Anonymous has watched with growing alarm the incredible human rights abuses of the Bahrain regime. We have watched this tyrannical government tear gas it's own people literally to death, with over 30 fatalities so far. We have watched as thousands of innocent protesters and activists have been jailed," the release said.
The release goes on to say that Anonymous intends to see Bahrain's ruler removed from power and tried for crimes against humanity. It also warned that the trouble for Formula 1 has only just begun.
"Beginning tomorrow, and lasting for the duration of this race – Anonymous will turn your web site (www.formula1.com) into a smoking crater in cyber space. We will also jam your phone lines, bomb your E-Mail inboxes – and wreck anything else of yours we can find on the internet," it said.
More is sure to unfold and we'll be keeping tabs on it for you, so check back to AutoGuide for updates.

It is either the most important discovery in human evolution for decades, or one of the biggest blunders of modern science - and there's not much room for anything in between.
She was either a new species of miniature "Hobbit-like" human, just three feet tall, who lived 18,000 years ago on a remote Indonesian island among giant rats, pygmy elephants and massive, dragon-like reptiles. Or she was just another member of our own species - Homo sapiens - who was unfortunate enough to suffer from a severe congenital disorder that meant she developed an unusually small braincase, stunted body and shortened limbs.
If the latter is ever proved to be the case, it will come as a huge embarrassment to the scientists behind a study published in the journal Nature in 2004, claiming that Homo floresiensis truly represents a new species of miniature human being.
The latest salvo in the dispute over the bones has come in a study published in the current issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, which backs up claims that the "hobbit" is nothing more than a small-brained member of our own species.
The authors of the study claim that the original assessment of the remains was wrong, and that there is no evidence for the existence of a miniature species of human who hunted pygmy rats and who was in turn hunted by giant Komodo dragons.
The dispute over the bones of the "hobbit" broke out almost as soon as the details of its existence emerged in a groundbreaking piece of research that, it is fair to say, set the world of palaeo-anthropology alight.
A team of Indonesian and Australian scientists had found a partial skeleton of a creature they labelled LB1, the first human from Liang Bua cave on the island of Flores.
What was unique and utterly amazing about the individual - apparently an adult female, although the original artist's impression that accompanied the research, right, was drawn depicting a male - was that she must have lived with a skull containing a braincase no bigger than a grapefruit - about a third of the size of that of modern-day humans. She would have also stood barely three feet high.
Being this height is not in itself unusual. Some modern-day pygmies are this height, a dwarfism that results from lacking the typical adolescent growth spurt of non-pygmy humans. But the head size - and braincases - of modern pygmies still fall within the normal range of the other members of Homo sapiens.
But the "hobbit", as the female at Liang Bua cave was nicknamed, had a far smaller head that was more in proportion with her body.
Professor Mike Morwood of the University of New South Wales in Armidale, a leading member of the team, said at the time that he could not believe what he and his colleagues had found - especially given that the carbon dating pointed to the creatures still living on Flores as recently as 13,000 years ago.
"It is a new species of human who actually lived alongside us, yet were half our size. They were the height of a three-year-old child, weighed around 25 kilos [4 stones] and had a brain smaller than most chimpanzees," Professor Morwood said in 2004.
"Even so, they used fire, made sophisticated stone tools and hunted stegadon - a primitive type of elephant - and giant rats. We believe that their ancestors may have reached the island using bamboo rafts. The clear implication is that, despite tiny brains, these little humans were intelligent and almost certainly had language," Professor Morwood said.
For evolutionary biologists, the discovery pointed to the first case of endemic island dwarfism in humans. Animals isolated on a remote island can evolve into giants - like the Flores rat - or pygmies, such as the stegadon.
"Although a common feature of large mammals in insular environments, this has never been recorded for a human relative before," said Peter Brown of the University of New England, another leading member of the team.
Archaeological evidence suggests that the Liang Bua cave was inhabited by early humans of some description for about 800,000 years.
Archaeologists have also found relatively sophisticated stone tools in the cave that appear similar to those made at other sites in the world by an earlier species of human called Homo erectus. However, the crucial difference between Homo erectus tools and those at Liang Bua is that the Flores cave artifacts are far smaller - suggesting that they were honed by the tiny hands of the miniature humans.
"Finding these hominins on an isolated island in Asia, and with elements of modern human behaviour in tool-making and hunting, is truly remarkable and could not have been predicted by previous discoveries," Professor Brown said.
Within weeks of the discovery, however, doubts began to arise. The leading critic of the "hobbit theory" emerged in the form of Professor Teuku Jacob of Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta. A veteran Indonesian palaeo-anthropologist, Professor Jacob suggested that Homo floresiensis was not a new species at all, but merely an unfortunate, anatomically modern human with microcephaly - a disease that causes stunted growth and a small braincase. "Everything points to the direction of Homo sapiens," he said.
Professor Jacob, an influential figure in Indonesian science, infuriated the original discoverers of the hobbit by getting access to the bones through his friend and long-time colleague, Professor Radien Soejono of Indonesia's Centre for Archaeology in Jakarta, who was a co-author on the original Nature study.
There have since been claims that the bones have been damaged during the time they were in Professor Jacob's care, claims he denies.
Professor Jacob leads the list of authors in the latest paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, which also includes Professor Soejono, who now appears to have changed his mind as well as his allegiances.
The study also includes Robert Eckhardt, professor of developmental genetics and evolutionary morphology at Penn State University. "LB1 is not a normal member of a new species, but an abnormal member of our own," Professor Eckhardt said.
The thrust of the criticism is that the original researchers used a Eurocentric approach in determining whether the features of the LB1 skeleton were indeed unusual enough to warrant classification as a separate species.
"LB1 looks differently if researchers think in terms of European characteristics because it samples a population that is not European, but Australomelanesian, and further because it is a developmentally abnormal individual, being microcephalic," Professor Eckhardt said.
"To establish a new species, palaeo-anthropologists are required to document a unique complex of normal traits not found in any other species," he said. "But this was not done. The normal traits of LB1 were not unique and its unusually small braincase was not normal."
To date, scientists have amassed skeletal remains from nine individuals from the Liang Bua cave but most of these are body fragments - such as an odd tooth - rather than the partial skeleton and skull of LB1.
"What would clinch it is if we could find another skull," said Professor Richard Roberts of the University of Wollongong in Australia, one of the original discoverers.
The latest onslaught from the non-hobbit camp does not impress the team who made the find and wrote the seminal 2004 scientific paper in Nature. "There's nothing in it that's revelatory. I'm not changing my mind on the basis of what they have published," Professor Roberts said yesterday."Complete rubbish. None of their arguments stand up at all," said Professor Brown, who questioned whether the study had been properly peer-reviewed by the journal.
"There's absolutely nothing to it. We've been asking them to supply any modern skeleton that has the same features as the hobbit, and they haven't done it," he said.
Such disagreements are unlikely to be resolved for some time. Yet another study is shortly to be published in the Journal of Human Evolution which supports the idea that the LB1 skeleton of the "hobbit" does indeed belong to a new human species.
Debbie Argue and Colin Groves of the Australian National University in Canberra dismiss the idea that the individual is microcephalic and their assessment supports the contention that the "hobbit" belongs to a new species called Homo floresiensis.
"This is a completely independent study and it validates our claim that the skeleton belongs to a new human species," said Professor Brown. "It completely supports our original study and it's by a group who don't have a political axe to grind," said Professor Brown.
But even this is unlikely to be the final word on the LB1 skeleton. Another group of scientists at Stony Brook University in New York have studied it in detail and concluded that "she" may not have been female after all.
Few bones of contention are destined to be chewed over for so long as those of the hobbit.Reuse content

Summit Mount Jefferson, Mount Clay, and Mount Washington
Rate this Adventure New Hampshire › Caps Ridge Trailhead
Added by Leah Joy
Knock three peaks off the 4000' list including the tallest in the Northeast, Mount Washington. This hike will give you challenging terrain, incredible views and lead you through a ridgeline where you feel like you're wandering through a far away land.
Hike with at least one other and take two cars. First drop one car at the Cog Railway parking lot (Base Station Rd, Bretton Woods, NH). Jump into the second car and drive about 15 minutes to the Caps Ridge Trailhead on Jefferson Notch Road ( N 44° 18' 15"W 71° 21' 42" )
The Caps Ridge Trail will lead you to Mount Jefferson Peak in 2.5 miles with a 2730' gain. Check your map as several trails merge at the peak and head onto the Mt. Jefferson Loop trail which in .3 miles will intersect with the Gulfside trail. Continue on the Gulfside trail until you merge with Mount Clay Loop trail. Follow the trail up to the peak of Mount Clay that sits at 5533'. Pay no attention to how far Mt. Washington may look, you'll make it there soon. Continue .7 miles down Mount Clay Loop trail to merge back onto the Gulfside Trail. Here, you'll follow along the Gulfside trail which runs parallel to the cog railway for a bit and eventually crosses over it. Mt. Washington peak is well in sight and close at this point but navigating the trail can be difficult. Look for carins and trail markers and eventually find the Trinity Heights Connector which will lead you to the peak of Mount Washington, 6288'. Most of this hike is above treeline which makes for breathtaking views and scenery, but can also make for unpredictable weather. Mt. Washington is knows for "the worst weather in America" so come well prepared.
Mount Washington Peak is often very crowded as the auto road as well as the cog railway run up to the peak. It offers a large indoor visitor center with a cafeteria and restrooms. Enjoy some lunch and prepare for the hike down.
Begin your descent down Crawford Path which will lead you to Lake of the Clouds Hut. Be sure to check out the lake and feel free to stop in to the hut if hiking during the summer season (June-Sept). Lake of the Clouds would also be a great place to spend a night (Reservations required, weekends book up very fast and early in the season (http://www.outdoors.org/lodging/huts/lakes/)
Mt. Monroe is in plain sight and .4 miles up. It's tempting to check off another peak; however, you may be feeling very tired at this point having completed 7.4 miles.
From the hut head down the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail where in 3.1 miles you will reach your car, hopefully packed with a comfy pair of shoes and a cold beer.

Of course I love the Bummi's diaper covers for their adorable patterns but the Grovia are my favorite of this stash because of the fit and ease of use. Because they are All in One's their is no stuffing or cover needed, and the elastic around the waist and legs keep everything inside and make for a snug fit. Not to mention how soft they are! They do take a bit longer to dry though. I can't wait until the warmer weather so that Emma can sport the Bummi's patterned covers with nothing but a coordinating top. She is going to have the cutest fluffy bum on the block!
This is Emma sporting the Fuzzibunz Perfect Size pocket diaper in XS. This is a great fitting diaper that comes in a wide array of colors. It is a pocket diaper so you can double stuff it for night time use. My only issue with it is the gaping at the legs. There is no elastic and at it's smallest setting there was a bit of a gap which caused many leaks in her early weeks. Now that she is 8+ lbs she is filling it a bit better but it is still not as snug around the leg as I would like for containment purposes.
Keep an eye out here for more reviews on Cloth Diapers as I add to my stash and try and test different brands. I love cloth diapering so much I want to share my knowledge with any mom's out there thinking of trying it. My advice? GO FOR IT! But don't give up! My first experience with it was in 2006 with my first born using Bum Genius Diapers but I gave up too quickly. I didn't do enough research and had no support. Not to mention not enough diapers to make a successful go of it. My second child didn't see a cloth diaper once. I was too stressed with a 2 year old and a newborn at home all day to even THINK of it! But I am SO GLAD I gave it another whirl the 3rd time around. You know what they say - third time is a charm! If you have any cloth diaper tips or brands you love feel free to let me know in comments!
Happy Diapering! =)

Michael Dennis "Mike" Duffy (born May 27, 1946) is a Canadian senator and former Canadian television journalist. Prior to his appointment to the upper house in 2008, he was the Ottawa editor for CTV News Channel. After resigning from the Conservative caucus on May 16, 2013 during a controversy over the expense claims filed by him and other Senators,[2] Duffy sat in the Senate as an independent, representing Prince Edward Island, until the Senate voted on November 5, 2013, to suspend him without pay for the remainder of the term. On April 21, 2016 he was acquitted of all 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery laid against him, by a judge who sharply rebuked the police and Crown for pursuing the charges.[3]
Early life and journalism career[edit]
Mike Duffy was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island to Lillian and Wilfrid Duffy, and is the grandson of Gavan Duffy, a PEI Liberal MLA and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island.[4]
Duffy briefly studied humanities at St. Dunstan's College.[4] He became a ham radio operator at the age of 16. He began his career as a teen disc jockey at CFCY-TV in the mid-1960s. He moved to print journalism with The Guardian in Charlottetown, before heading to CFCF in Montreal as a lineup and assignment editor in 1969, and in 1971 he joined CFRA radio in Ottawa as a political reporter.
Duffy joined CBC radio's Parliament Hill bureau in 1974, and became a reporter for The National in 1977. Duffy became the lead CBC television reporter on Parliament Hill and covered most of the important federal stories of the Trudeau, Clark and Mulroney governments. Duffy is primarily known for his work as an Ottawa journalist, but he has been a foreign correspondent. He covered the fall of South Vietnam in April 1975 for the CBC and was one of the last journalists to leave Saigon before the arrival of North Vietnamese troops and Viet Cong insurgents.[citation needed]
In 1988, Duffy joined Baton Broadcasting as the first host of its Sunday morning news program Sunday Edition based in Ottawa. When that series ended in 1999, Duffy moved to his role as a show host and interviewer with CTV Newsnet (now the CTV News Channel). Long known as an "Ottawa insider", he was able to get many elected officials to appear on his programs. Duffy hosted two programs on CTV Newsnet, Countdown with Mike Duffy and Mike Duffy Live. The latter program was broadcast from Parliament Hill and featured interviews with prominent Canadian political figures and commentators. Upon Duffy's departure for the Senate, CTV Newsnet temporarily renamed the program On the Hill and installed Graham Richardson as the host. On the Hill ran for one month before being permanently replaced with Power Play.
2008 federal election broadcast controversy[edit]
In 2008 split decision, a panel of the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council ruled that CTV Newsnet had violated broadcasting codes during the 2008 federal election. The panel concluded that CTV Newsnet's decision to air, on Duffy's network show "false starts" of an interview with then-Liberal leader Stéphane Dion recorded by CTV's Halifax affiliate "was not fair, balanced, or even handed."[5]
Awards and honours[edit]
In 1986 he won an ACTRA Award for live television reporting, for his coverage of the 1985 Turkish embassy attack in Ottawa by the Armenian Revolutionary Army.[6] In 1994, Duffy was inducted into the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame.[6][7]
Duffy has received honorary degrees from the University of Prince Edward Island, as well as Wilfrid Laurier University and from Niagara University in Niagara Falls, New York.[8] He has been a visiting fellow at Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina, and has been twice nominated for the "best in the business" award by the Washington Journalism Review.[8]
In 2002, he was awarded the Golden Jubilee Medal by the Governor General of Canada on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II.[9]
Political career[edit]
On December 22, 2008, Duffy was named a Prince Edward Island representative to the Senate on the advice of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, sitting as a Conservative.[8][10] He subsequently retired as a TV journalist at the end of 2008. He was introduced to the Senate on 26 January 2009 immediately prior to the Speech from the Throne.[11]
Expenses controversy[edit]
In 2012, Duffy was one of four senators accused of claiming primary residency outside of Ottawa in order to claim living expenses for time working in Ottawa.[12] In his trial decision, Judge Vaillancourt said Duffy had no choice in the matter, as he had been appointed to represent Prince Edward Island in the Senate[3] On February 28, 2013, the Senate Committee on the Internal Economy announced that Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Mac Harb, and Patrick Brazeau would be subject to a forensic audit to determine appropriateness of their expense claims.[13]
PMO involvement[edit]
After several weeks of negative public attention Duffy, despite believing he was entitled to claim the PEI residence,[3] volunteered to pay back the expenses he had claimed for his Ottawa residence. Duffy had expected the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) to cover all expenses he claimed improperly.[14] In late February 2013, it was alleged that special counsel and legal adviser Benjamin Perrin drafted a letter of understanding between Chief of Staff of the Office of the Prime Minister of Canada, Nigel Wright and Duffy.[15] Perrin denied involvement in a May 2013 statement.[16][17] Wright then wrote a personal cheque to Duffy for $90,172 to cover past residency expenses claimed as part of the agreement with the PMO. A Conservative Party spokesman confirmed the money was a gift with no expectation of repayment.[18] Duffy then repaid the Government of Canada $90,172 in March 2013 for expenses previously claimed.
After repayment Duffy refused to meet with independent auditors or supply financial records, credit card statements and information about his calendar related to the investigation. Duffy's lawyer claimed that since the money had been reimbursed "Senator Duffy's participation in the review of the requested information was no longer needed."[19][20]
Reaction to expense controversy[edit]
In May 2013, the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner of Canada confirmed it was investigating Wright's gift of $90,172 to Duffy.[19] Duffy resigned from the Conservative caucus on May 16, 2013, and became an independent senator.[21] On November 5, 2013 the Senate voted to suspend Duffy without pay for two years.[22]
Criminal charges[edit]
On July 17, 2014 Duffy was charged by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with 31 offences.[23] These included fraud, breach of trust and bribery. He was charged with fraud and breach of trust in relation to $80,000 in expenses that he claimed as a senator. Eighteen of the charges were laid in relation to $50,000 in travel expenses which Duffy claimed as a senator. A further eight of the charges of fraud and breach of trust were laid in relation to the alleged misuse of $60,000 in public funds for consulting contracts.[24] The bribery charge was in relation to the $90,000 he received from Nigel Wright, Stephen Harper's then chief of staff. The trial began on April 7, 2015. Duffy was acquitted of all charges on 21 April 2016 and immediately resumed his seat in the Senate.[3]

John Burroughs running back Jake Bain was one of the best backs in the state of Missouri a year ago as a sophomore and is off to a strong start through the first two games of his junior campaign.
"We started off a little slow in the first game but I think we came back really strong in our second game," Bain said, "and I was able to break some long runs and see the field a little bit better in the second game."
Bain racked up 2,503 total yards (2,172 rushing, 331 receiving) and scored 31 touchdowns in 15 games as a sophomore in helping the Bombers go 14-1 and win the Missouri Class 3 title.
Through two games this season, the 6-foot, 180-pound speedster has 376 total yards (295 rushing, 81 receiving) and seven touchdowns.
The Bombers were defeated 27-26 by St. Dominic in Week 1 but bounced back with a 44-14 win over Lake Forest Academy in Week 2. Bain did his part in the victory, rushing 21 times for 176 yards and four touchdowns and catching two passes for 81 yards and another score.
"My role has changed a little bit this year," Bain said. "I think I will be moving around more from the backfield, to the slot more, and even to the split out more to get me in some space to make plays. I think we have a great system and we are able to move guys around a lot to put us in different positions to make big plays, especially with how good Tyler (Foote) is going to be this year."
Tyler Foote, the Bombers' strong-armed quarterback, is also a Division I prospect and has offers from Yale and Southeast Missouri. Through two games, Foote has completed 64.9 percent of his passes for 468 yards and three touchdowns.
Bain is still waiting on his first offer but has attracted plenty of early interest from schools and performed well on the camp circuit this summer.
"I have heard a lot from Indiana, Vanderbilt, Mizzou, Northwestern, Purdue and Duke so far," Bain said. "I visited Indiana, Ohio State, Duke, and Vanderbilt over the summer. I also did camps at Indiana, Ohio State and the Nike Opening regionals."
The Bombers' last two running backs before Bain turned out to be highly-successful players and highly-recruited prospects.
Ezekiel Elliott was one of the best players in Missouri in 2011 and 2012 before moving on to Ohio State. John Moten transferred to Burroughs before his junior season, put up big numbers in 2013 and 2014 before signing with Northwestern.
Bain proved himself worthy of that lineage a year ago and still has the rest of his junior season and all of his senior campaign to build on that.

Bluepoint offers a full array of Check21 compliant, image-based check capture solutions. With our integrated approach, credit unions can easily produce electronic cashletters that include items from all points of presentment—mobile, in-branch, and remote. Members appreciate faster deposit availability, while credit unions reap the benefits of streamlined processing, transmission and research capabilities. At the same time, our integrated, cross-channel duplicate detection and fraud modules provide check loss protection. Get more information about check payment processing and fraud prevention here.
Making sure that all of your check capture points are covered is the best way to position your credit union to meet current and future member needs. Although mobile deposits are gaining popularity, up to 90% of teller transactions remain check-based. Credit unions, especially those with widespread membership or large indirect loan portfolios, also receive quantities of mailed-in check deposits and payments. And your business members still receive many customer payments by check. These check transactions will continue to affect credit union operations for many years to come, and Bluepoint's integrated approach will continue to evolve as the environment changes.
Read on to learn about flexible solutions for these seven capture points:
A strong mobile-first strategy, including mobile remote deposit, is no longer a nice-to-have service but a definite member expectation. QwikDeposit ToGo from Bluepoint Solutions is a proven mobile deposit solution that can be integrated with most mobile banking platforms, and can be implemented either in-house or in a hosted version. Credit unions can defend against fraud by incorporating their own deposit and item amount limits and other business rules. This allows the system to determine member eligibility and require central review before accepting deposits. Make mobile deposit part of your engagement strategy to attract Millennials and other tech-savvy members who may never visit a branch.
Your business members still receive many check payments from their customers, which means disruptive trips to the branch and delayed availability of funds. QwikDeposit Pro from Bluepoint Solutions is a mid- to large-volume check image capture solution that places multi-check scanners right at the business location. Businesses appreciate that the system is browser-based, supports multiple accounts for deposit, and automatically walks them through any necessary corrections before transmitting items for clearing. Deposits are quick and accurate, and the system is easy to manage and customize, requiring very little costly maintenance. Help your business members focus on running their business, not on making deposit runs.
The ATM channel continues to grow, meeting consumer demands for round-the-clock access and self-service convenience. ImagePoint ATM integrates with image-enabled ATMs to capture check images and transaction data. If necessary, it places items into a review and correction queue before adding them to the credit union's consolidated cashletter for clearing. As your ATM network grows, leverage its image capabilities to speed deposits, while cutting costs by eliminating frequent ATM service trips.
Accepting checks right at the teller line increases heads-up time, so tellers can actively contribute more to member relationships. ImagePoint Teller is a universal check imaging solution that lets tellers scan check deposits so they are immediately ready for item processing. Because tellers remain balanced throughout the day, you can reduce or eliminate end-of-day balancing. And because errors, and even fraud, are easy to catch, you can reduce exception handling. ImagePoint Teller can also be used in conjunction with Receipt Manager® to efficiently generate high quality print or email receipts, all while capturing transaction data for future use. Give your tellers more time and attention to spend with members, and watch your service levels rise.
Consumer preferences and expectations are evolving and savvy credit unions are responding. One way to transform the branch experience is to add video tellers. ImagePoint ITM is designed specifically to integrate with Interactive Teller Machines (ITMs), incorporating check deposits directly into the item processing workflow. Credit unions can more cost-effectively staff their branches when tellers can serve multiple locations from a central location. Complete your ITMs and video teller service with real-time check capture and transmission.
Credit unions receive many types of paper remittances—home and auto loan payments, credit card payments, leases, individual member deposits and business members' customer payments. ImagePoint Mailroom is an affordable way to scan, sort, apply and split payments and deposits, immediately validate the data, and then export it for clearing, posting and archiving. Any credit union staff member can quickly and easily process items from any workstation with a connected scanner. Ideal for credit unions with large mail volumes, extensive indirect loan portfolios (also see our PayAnyware ACH solution) and widely dispersed members.
Adding a technically superior branch capture solution for Check21-compliant, image-based check clearing is a good starting point for many credit unions. ImagePoint Branch offers an economical way to scan checks, at the back counter or after hours, and transmit them for further automated processing. And because ImagePoint Branch is part of our integrated solutions set, you'll find that upgrading to the sophisticated capabilities of ImagePoint Teller will be smooth sailing. Over a thousand institutions of all sizes have incorporated ImagePoint Branch technology into their operations. Cover the basics with a robust, comprehensive branch capture solution.

How to Get a Great Graphic Designer
It is not easy to differentiate a good graphic designer from a bad one. Art is not subjective. There is neither bad nor good art. It is all dependent on personal view. What I may perceive as bad is not what you may perceive bad. Even though we know and understand that there is a huge difference between the normal art and graphic art. They still lay on the same boat.
However, art is mainly centered on the personal perception of things while graphic design is mainly centered on a specific outcome. That is why graphic design is used in marketing and entertainment.
