Jewish Slow Cooker Recipes by Laura Frankel, includes recipes like Essential Chicken Stock; Roasted Parsnip and Jerusalem Artichoke Soup; Dafina; and Kishke.
Makes 2-1/2 quarts
Having a good stock in your kitchen arsenal is essential for full-flavored sauces and soups. Feel free to add your own touches such as mushroom stems or additional herbs and spices. While canned stock will do in a pinch, homemade ranks head and shoulders above it in richness and flavor. I always have a container of chicken bones in my freezer. When I have enough bones, I'll start up a batch of this stock.
I cool stock in a sink filled with ice water (this does the job quickly), then store the stock overnight in the refrigerator. This makes it easier to remove the fat that rises to the top and hardens.
Store in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
1. Preheat a 6-1/2 quart slow cooker to High.
2. Place the bones in the slow cooker insert and add the onion, carrots, celery, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, clove, and peppercorns. Cover the bones and vegetables with water only to the top of the bones. (If you add too much water, the flavor will be diluted.) Cover and cook on High for 6 to 8 hours. You know your stock is done when it has a deep yellowish color and tastes very rich in poultry flavor.
3. Strain the stock into a clean container and discard the bones and vegetables. Cool the stock completely, and ladle off the fat from the top of the stock.
4. Portion the stock into storage containers.

Paramedics on bikes are being deployed at Westfield shopping centre in Stratford over Christmas.
They will carry defibrillators to restart the hearts of people who have suffered cardiac arrest.
The cycle response unit, pictured, will be on duty at Westfield from Wednesday to Sunday each week until mid-January, and on December 23 and 24.
The unit, set up by London Ambulance Service more than a decade ago, won a £100,000 NHS innovations award this week for helping to boost the service's cardiac arrest survival rate from 12 per cent to 28 per cent.
The cycle response unit's 34 staff respond to 16,000 emergencies a year with an average arrival time of five minutes.
Zoe Hitchcock, whose heart was restarted by cycling paramedic Eoin Walker in Oxford Street in June, said: "Nobody could have got to me as quickly as he got to me to help save my life."

Rubin Kazan 3-2 Chelsea (agg 4-5)
- From the section Football
Chelsea sealed their place in the Europa League semi-finals despite a careless second-leg defeat against Rubin Kazan in Russia.
Leading 3-1 from the first leg, the Blues scored a vital early away goal through Fernando Torres's deft lob.
Ivan Marcano's header gave Rubin hope but Victor Moses fired in to leave the hosts needing four more goals.
A Gokdeniz Karadeniz strike and Bebras Natcho's penalty gave Chelsea a late scare but they held on to progress.
The Blues never looked in any danger of being eliminated during a comfortable first-half performance after Torres's early opener.
But a contrasting display after the break, characterised by nervous defending on a synthetic pitch, denied Rafael Benitez's side the luxury of a straightforward passage into the last four.
Rubin capitalised on Chelsea's failure to deal with a series of high balls into their penalty area and it gives interim boss Benitez plenty to think about ahead of Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.
But they survived any further damage after Natcho's spot-kick made it 3-2 to the home side.
It means the much-maligned Benitez remains on course to win two trophies for the west London club and finish in the top four of the Premier League.
Chelsea's dominant display at Stamford Bridge a week earlier left Rubin with a difficult task, which was made even harder following Torres's early opener.
Frank Lampard showed remarkable vision to send Torres clear with a clinical first-time pass and when Rubin goalkeeper Sergei Ryzhikov raced out of his goal, the Spaniard coolly lobbed the ball into the empty net for his 19th goal of the season.
It left Rubin needing three goals to force extra-time but the complexion of the tie could have been different, had Rubin not spurned a glorious opportunity seconds earlier.
The Russians should have taken the lead when skipper Karadeniz picked out Roman Eremenko in space inside the visitors' penalty area, only for the Finland international to fire straight at Chelsea skipper John Terry.
It was a huge let-off for the Blues on their return to Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium - the scene of their penalty shoot-out defeat by Manchester United in the 2008 Champions League final.
Uefa ruled the match should be played in the Russian capital after concerns about Kazan's Central Stadium, and only 19,000 spectators were present in the 80,000-capacity ground.
Rubin boss Kurban Berdyev argued the switch had damaged his side's chances of progressing but, after the early blow of Torres's goal, the Russians gave themselves a lifeline shortly after the second-half restart.
Pablo Orbaiz's in-swinging cross from the right was powerfully met by Spanish compatriot Marcano, whose accurate header flew into Petr Cech's top corner.
The Russians were left deflated again when Moses stylishly steered past Ryzhikov following a neat exchange of passes with Ramires.
But they refused to give up as Karadeniz climbed above Dutch teenager Nathan Ake, making only his second professional start for Chelsea, to bury Cristian Ansaldi's cross from the left touchline.
Marcano again found space inside the Blues' six-yard box, only to flash a header wide, before Natcho blasted past Cech after substitute Aleksandr Ryazantsev fell under Cesar Azpilicueta's innocuous challenge.
Chelsea saw out the final 15 minutes to reach their 18th semi-final appearance of the Roman Abramovich era, where they will face either Benfica, Fenerbahce or Basel.

It's the latest craze sweeping the nation… No, I'm not talking about Fruit Ninja, I'm talking about gamification.
There's a reason "gamification" is the buzzword on the tip of so many tongues these days. It takes ideas and structures from games - the video kind and other types - to guide companies in their quest to affect consumer behavior. So should digital strategists at banks and financial institutions use gamification to meet their business objectives?
We'll get to that, but for now let's start by clarifying what we're talking about. Forrester defines gamification as:
The insertion of game dynamics and mechanics into non-game activities to drive a desired behavior.
These mechanics come in many shapes & sizes – SCVNGR, a mobile game developer, has a list of more than 40 – but here's a quick list of four major ones:
· Points. The most basic element of gamification, points is any type of virtual currency – or, in a few cases, IRL currency. Digital strategists at banks & credit card companies have used this tool for years in the form of rewards points.
· Achievements. Achievements are immediate and obvious responses to preferred actions. In video games, achievements signal attainment of a goal. Companies like Condé Nast have successfully used achievements in their gamification efforts.
· Progression. Keeping users up to speed on their progress toward key goals can be one of the most compelling mechanics in gamification. Just a few days ago, I came across a card issuer – Banana Republic, the retailer – using a progress bar to illustrate the cardholder's march toward a monetary target – in this case a $10 reward (see screenshot at the bottom of this post).
· Competition. Competition gives users the ability to compare their progression with that of others — including people they know and people they don't. Leader boards and standings are common examples in video and social gaming, though these are relatively rare in financial services. Citi's innovative tablet app includes peer comparisons within its personal financial management tools, but it is not part of a broader gamification effort.
Does it work? It certainly can. Gamification done right takes a behavior-focused approach to driving digital engagement. For example, USA Network – an American TV network – partnered with the gamification firm Bunchball to engage and reward fans of one of its TV shows. The effort resulted in tens of thousands of newly registered users, a 130% boost in page views, and a doubling of revenue for the program's online store.
The truth is, eBusiness leaders and digital strategists at financial services firms are already using gamification techniques, if somewhat unknowingly, every time they design a task flow with a progress bar, or tweak the "rewards" on a product.
Yet few are making a dedicated effort to use all – or even many – of the mechanics and concepts in the gamification toolkit. Back in 2007, Chase used gamification mechanics in its "We'll pick up the tab" promotion, and more recently Texas-based Extraco Banks rolled out its Bonus Banking game. American Express is incorporating gamification across many initiatives: from the communal pooling and sharing of rewards points, to rewarding cardholders with Farmville "cash." Other efforts include Michigan credit unions' "Save to Win" prize-linked savings account product, and Payoff.com, a firm that looks to incorporate gamification into banks' PFM tools with "badges," "communal discovery," and other gamification mechanics. Mint.com is another example, using challenges, leaderboards, and other gamification mechanics to increase stickiness and digital engagement.
But these are exceptions.
We believe there is an opportunity to use gamification within digital financial services efforts: as part of a mobile merchant-funded rewards initiative, within a bank's secure website, or as part of other banking interactions. But executives at providers should be careful and strategic. Think first and foremost about your audience and business objectives, and only then consider the potential value of using gamification mechanics.
If you feel gamification can help your digital strategy, take a look around: it's very likely you have a pool of passionate, talented (usually young) employees and team members eager to help you experiment with gamification techniques.

Gamification & Customer Service
Comment from Lisa Loeffler (not verified) on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 13:56
Peter, great post. Like the thinking about how financial institutions could potentially use gamification to support their customers. It could fit almost any channel. I posted "Please Aggravate Me: Is Gamifying Customer Service a Reality" recently about how brands might consider gamifying customer service to keep their customers happy while they wait on hold. Great for big brands when they have difficulty scaling the CSR/customer ratios.
RE: Gamification & Customer Service
Comment from Peter Wannemacher on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 10:54
Lisa, thank you. I completely agree that gamification is channel-agnostic, and that this is one of its potential benefits for digital strategists (at financial institutions and other companies). As for using gamification mechanics for customer service, it's an intriguing idea. As you note in your post, customer service is already a frustrating experience for many consumers (your United Airlines experience being one example). Companies have a lot to gain by improving customer service interactions, and gamification could be a part of that improvement process.
Thanks Peter! Appreciate your
Comment from Lisa Loeffler (not verified) on Fri, 06/01/2012 - 11:09
Thanks Peter! Appreciate your feedback. I'm sure we'll see some companies adapt this model more widely in the near future for their customers.

Morocco's rebel rapper released from prison

(AP Photo/Abdeljalil Bounhar)
CASABLANCA, Morocco (AP) — A Moroccan rapper known for his protest songs said Friday after completing a yearlong prison sentence that he will be concentrating on his studies and improving his music and is unsure about further activism.
Mouad Belghouat's angry rap songs excoriating the gaps between rich and poor in Morocco provided the soundtrack to the North African kingdom's Arab Spring protest movement in 2011 that called for social justice and greater democracy.
But while Belghouat, known as El-Haqed or "the enraged," was in prison, the February 20 movement, as it was known, faded away as popular ire with the state was defused by a string of reforms promulgated by the king.
"I will concentrate more on my studies — I have my high school exams to pass in June," said a pale, subdued 26-year-old Belghouat to journalists and activists, showing only occasional flashes of his trademark irreverent sense of humor. "I played around a lot before, and in prison I discovered the importance of reading more."
The rapper appeared in glasses, which supporters say he now needs because of how his health deteriorated in prison where he said he experienced harassment and even went on hunger strike at one point to protest conditions.
Belghouat was convicted in May for insulting a public official over his song "Dogs of the State," which was addressed to the police. An online video accompanying the song portrayed a police officer with a donkey's head prompting the lawsuit by authorities.
"You are paid to protect the citizens, not to steal their money," said one lyric. The song then asks the police to arrest the wealthy businessmen who have divided the country up for themselves.
Morocco, a popular tourist destination for Europeans, has one of the highest discrepancies between rich and poor in the Arab world, according to international development agencies.
"It was a huge relief when he was released," said Abdullah Abaakil, an activist with the February 20 movement that introduced the rapper at the news conference. He emphasized that Belghouat was key for the movement to reach out to young people, especially in the country's myriad slums. "He suffered for all of us… he more than did his part."
As the protests died away, dozens of activists from the February 20 movement have been arrested and imprisoned. A statement by 18 local non-governmental organizations in December said at least 58 activists were in prison.
Belghouat, who described in an Associated Press interview last year how he would go to poor neighborhoods to raise people's awareness about the injustices in the country, was noncommittal about his future as an activist.
"I am just out of prison, and I'm still tired, so I need a bit of time to answer this question about how I will assess the situation of the February 20 in the country," he said, though he didn't rule out staying involved. "And if tomorrow there was a demonstration for February 20, I might well join, why not?"
Associated Press reporter Smail Bellaoualli contributed to this report.

Ndou Defeats St Clair
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Photo: Clive Franklin
Former two time world champion Lovemore "Black Panther" Ndou (49-13-2, 31 KOs) outscored former IBF champion Gairy "Superman" St Clair (42-12-2, 18 KOs) over twelve rounds to capture the IBF Pan Pacific and WBF 147 pound title at the Southport RSL, Southport, Queensland, Australia Friday. Ndou controlled the bout in the early rounds as he connected with solid left jabs that set up combinations on his skillful opponent, who continually used every inch of the ring and proved to be a difficult target. Rounds six and seven had the Guyana-born and Australian-based St Clair stepping up the action as he scored with fast combinations. Ndou regained control in round eight but switch hitter St Clair rallied in rounds nine and ten – staying out of trouble with bob and weave tactics. Ndou outworked St Claire in round eleven as he scored with jarring left jabs but once again St Clair gave Ndou problems in the twelth and final stanza with his unorthodox tactics. Referee Phil Austin raised Ndou's hand winner by scores 117-112, 116-112, 116-112. who was having his first fight back in Australia after clashing with world class welterweights and light middleweights in South Africa, Mexico and England which included Saul Alvarez and Kell Brook.
"I am now fighting to raise funds for the Holy Trinity Youth Centre at Dulwich Hill. I want to thank Father Dave, who was in my corner tonight, for all his support," Ndou said. "I have Randall Bailey in my sights for the IBF 147 pound title and I do have a win over Noufell Ben Rabah, who is an IBF contender who I will give a rematch."

Primer Activator temp/speed
Hi, I'm ready to shoot high build primer in the garage and selected the activator based on the temps during the Fall here in MN. I selected the fast activator which says it's used for the temp range: 60-75 degrees. Unfortunately, I didn't do my homework and read the tech sheet first or read about it here on the forum. I have a feeling that I should have chosen the medium. I'm planning on a mostly sunny 65 degree day. Will this activator work for me or do I need to get a medium activator? Thanks, Grayle
it will ok. just keep it wet. primer is more forgiving than than paint or clear.
Make sure your metal is in the 60-65 degree range..the air temp may be fine but the metal may still may be cold..
Sounds good! I'll check the panel temp with a laser thermometer to make sure it's in the right range! Thanks!

Facilities description
GreenGen Ltd. Co. China was established by the China Huaneng Group and seven other Chinese state-owned companies in January 2006. Peabody Energy joined the consortium in December 2007 as the only non-Chinese participant in the program.
The goal of the GreenGen program in Tianjin is to develop a large-scale IGCC–CCS demonstration in China. The program is being carried out in three phases.
The first phase (Phase 1) of the program involves the construction and operation of a 250 MW IGCC power plant, the first IGCC facility of such size in China. Equipment is sized for coal gasification of 2,000 tonnes per day of pulverized coal. Construction of the plant began in 2009 and was completed in 2012. Since that time commissioning of the individual components was undertaken and the plant has been in steady-state commercial operation since 2014. The Huaneng Group reports that approximately 5,700 operation hours were recorded in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
The second phase (Phase 2) of the program involves a number of research and development activities:
- Carry out trial operations and optimisations to improve existing systems (safety, stability, reliability) within the 250 MW IGCC power plant
- Development of a demonstration-scale system that will draw about 7 per cent of the syngas from the IGCC power plant, shifts carbon monoxide (CO) and water (H2O) to CO2 and H2, and then separates the CO2 from the H2 after desulphurisation. The captured CO2 would be liquefied and used for EOR purposes. The amount of CO2 to be captured through this demonstration-scale plant is estimated at between 60,000-100,000 tonnes per annum. It is reported that construction of Phase 2 activities began in early 2014, with a 72-hour continuous operation full load commissioning test completed in July 2016.
- Conduct feasibility studies for GreenGen Phase 3
The third phase (Phase 3) of the program involves construction and operation of a 400 MW IGCC power plant with associated carbon capture facilities, capable of capturing up to two million tonnes of CO2 per annum. Construction of the proposed 400 MW IGCC plant will begin when the technology lessons from the first two Phases of the program are learnt. It is anticipated that carbon capture at the 400 MW power plant would begin in the 2020's timeframe. Storage locations are presently under evaluation and include EOR opportunities and geologic storage options.
The Tianjin plant, as an IGCC demonstration project of the CCS 863 Program, received financial support from the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and was supported by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) in its request for capacity development technical assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

So I have a problem. I need to drill about 150 holes in 7 large plastic buckets for a project I am working on and I realize that every hole I drill using a conventional bit is leaving all this rough, chopped up plastic inside the bucket where I need to place soft, impressionable materials that can scratch easily. What am I to do? I NEED smooth, clean holes in my bucket, dear Liza. The answer?
How do you cut clean holes in plastic?
Neiko 3-Piece Titanium Step Drill Bits Set
They are called step drill bits. In case you can't figure it out from the photo, it's like having 28 hole punchers in 3 different drill bits. You can get all kinds of sizes of individual step bits but this handy kit has so many different sizes already included, I doubt you would ever need anything else.
It works simply like this, grab your item that needs a hole punched in it and drill using one of these bits. If you need a really fat hole, you plunge the bit down deep. If you need a small hole, you make a shallow plunge of the drill. The bits are cone-shaped and get wider the deeper you go.
I will admit I started my bucket project with a really small regular bit to make pilot holes first. Pilot holes made the job slightly easier because I had so many holes to make and because the plastic bucket was really slippery. I didn't want the step bit running all over my bucket. I did however test making some holes with just the bit on my bucket and sure enough, the bit went right through without any trouble at all. I thought I would see a lot more running around of the bit all over before it started to dig in but that was not the case. The bit plunged right through with a bit of pressure on the drill. The very best part – the other side was PERFECTLY CLEAN! Seriously, not a bit of shrapnel, sharp edges, extra plastic I had to remove with a pair of needlenose pliers – nothing. It made perfectly clean holes.
Below is a view looking into the bucket from the top. Notice the different sized holes the bits made depending on how deep I plunged the drill. I use these bucket as industrial sized strainers by the way for dying leather.
These bits are also capable of making clean holes in light metals such as aluminum and very thin steel sheet. If you use them to cut metal it is advised you give the bit a few squirts of WD-40 or other lube to make the job a bit easier and also so you don't wear down your bit prematurely.
Two thumbs up for this great gadget. This tool made my life a lot easier. I cannot begin to tell you how many sharp edges I had to remove when I first started this project with a regular drill bit. It was insane. I spent two hours plucking plastic pieces from the inside with a pair of needlenose pliers. No need for that once my step bits arrived! We're giving this set a 99. Hands down.
You can get this terrific bit set cheap on Amazon.com. Just click the link below:

Bolivia's Morales Orders Nationalization of Four Electric Power Companies
Bolivian President Evo Morales ordered the nationalization of three generating utilities and an electric distribution company.
The three power generators were controlled until 1994 by the state-run Empresa Nacional de Electricidad, which would oversee them again if nationalized, according to former energy minister Saul Avalos.
The companies are Corani SA, Guaracachi SA and Valle Hermoso SA, and distributor Empresa de Luz y Fuerza de Cochabamba, said Jose Luis Valdez, a spokesman for Morales.
"We're fulfilling the thunderous request of the people to recover and nationalize natural resources and basic services, which previously belonged to the state," Morales said, according to the website of official state newswire ABI.
Morales enacted a new constitution last year that calls for increased government control over the country's natural resources and utilities. Only 33 percent of homes in rural Bolivia and 87 percent of urban homes have access to electricity, the Energy Ministry said on its website.
U.K.'s Rurelec Plc owns over 50 percent of Guaracachi. Corani is 50 percent owned by Econergy International Plc, a subsidiary of France's GDF Suez SA. The information was reported on the websites of Rurelec, Econergy and GDF Suez.
"I'm particularly disappointed that President Morales felt that he needed to nationalize our holdings when we have been really good partners investing in new power plants," Rurelec Plc. Chief Executive Officer Peter Earl said in a telephone interview from London. "We genuinely wanted to have a public- private partnership."
Earl said his company has invested $110 million since Morales took office in 2006. "The minimum price tab for today's action is $70 million," Earl said.
Valdez said that the nationalization was "negotiated" with the companies and the military had "peacefully" gone to the offices of each company to present the nationalization decree.
"Basic services can't be owned by private businesses; they should serve the public," Morales said today in Corani, in the central Bolivian province of Cochabamba.
Morales, an ally of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, won re-election last year with 64 percent support following a pledge to extend his socialist "revolution" and boost payouts to the poor and elderly. He originally came to power by promising to nationalize the country's gas industry, which he did in May 2006.
"Bolivia is in a very unique state of transition," William Petty, chief executive officer of San Antonio-based Franklin Mining Inc., a zinc and silver producer, said April 22 from Santa Cruz, Bolivia, in a telephone interview. "You have to make your deal with the state and make sure you're comfortable with the system."

Final design for the Alaska Class Ferry is expected to be complete by the end of this month, clearing the way for the state to award a construction contract to a shipyard this summer.
Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner Reuben Yost says the state has preliminary estimates from Vigor Alaska, formerly Alaska Ship and Drydock of Ketchikan, and Elliott Bay Design Group of Seattle. If the shipyard and architect are close on the final estimate, Yost says the ferries will be built in Ketchikan.
"When we have the contract design complete we will get estimates from both entities. That's in early March," Yost told the state House Transportation Committee Tuesday. "Then based on that, we will either be negotiating a maximum price with the shipyard or we will be advertising."
In late 2012, when Governor Sean Parnell announced the scaled down Alaska Class Ferry design, he said his goal was to have "Alaskans build Alaska's ferries in Alaska."
Representative Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins (D-Sitka) asked Yost what factors the department will weigh when deciding whether to award the contract to Vigor Alaska or go outside.
"I think everybody's got a vested interest in seeing the vessel built in Alaska," Kreiss-Tomkins said. "Presumably we would still build the vessel in Alaska even if the maximum price is a little bit higher than competitor shipyards in the lower 48, just because we're keeping dollars in state. But do you have any sense of how big that discrepancy has to get before you would look at awarding the contract to an out of state shipyard?"
Yost said the most important thing is for the project to stay within its $117 million budget.
"If we face a situation where we had very strong evidence that the vessel could be built within the existing budget out of state, through a competitive bid process, but not at the Ketchikan shipyard, then we would have to seriously consider whether we would continue with this process," Yost said.
According to Yost, Vigor Alaska and Elliott Bay Design Group are bound by confidentiality agreements that prevent them from sharing cost estimates with each other.
Yost said the state hopes to award a contract by June, with the first ferry completed by mid-2016 and the second vessel by mid-2017.
The 280-foot Alaska Class Ferries will be used primarily in Lynn Canal and on shorter Alaska Marine Highway System routes in Southeast Alaska. The vessels will be able to carry up to 300 passengers and 53 vehicles. Initially, the Parnell administration wanted open car decks on the boats, but the design was changed after input from the public and ferry designers.
Note: This story originally referred to Vigor Alaska by its former name, Alaska Ship and Drydock.

I don't like it when people from other political parties gleefully leap on the human failings of members of other parties, even when the failures are extremely unpleasant. I'm more than aware, as I've said before, that this could well happen in all parties.
So when I read of the unfolding allegations about Lord Rennard, I do have some sympathy for the staff and advisers in the Lib Dems. I can imagine how awkward it would be to be placed in a similar position, and am under no illusion that Labour politicians would never behave in such a way.
However, that very sympathy indicates that the failure in this case points directly to the Leadership of the Liberal Democrats.
The first thing that strikes me, as a political operative, is the wrongness of suggestions that this is some sort of political plot.
Rather, I am astonished by the forbearance of the women involved.
These are women who (at the very least) have been placed in incredibly awkward positions, and who seem to have known their experiences were not isolated but part of a pattern of behaviour, and yet chose to pursue their complaints in private, confidential, non-confrontational ways, presumably in order to not cause embarrassment to the party and cause they care deeply for.1
We should think about that.
Because that willingness to forbear, to be patient, to trust your party, to try and do what is in the best interests of the party, to stay quiet, is what places a burden on a party to do something about such exploitation when it is reported.
It is precisely because women might be prepared to 'put up' with such behaviour, to stay quiet about it for so long, to try to resolve it privately in the interests of the party that places a duty on the leadership of a political party to respond to their complaints properly.
As a former party staffer, I am under no illusions that the behaviour of people in politics can be exploitative and harassing. I don't think for one moment that harassment and groping is limited to the Lib Dems, and have heard enough (unsubstantiated, gossip-fueled) rumours to believe that it's far more prevalent than I would ever like to believe. Nor are these rumours about politicians alone. In truth, a lot of men make a lot of women deeply uncomfortable.
Yet, (and there sadly is a yet), such bad behaviour isn't straightforward for a political party to handle.
Think of it in these terms: If an allegation is made, it requires an investigation. Both the form and the nature of that investigation then become incredibly politically and personally sensitive. All sots of questions are raised, questions that can take you far way from the core questions of right and wrong.
These questions include some fundamental ones: To what extent should a political party be responsible for the behaviour of employees or elected representatives, if such behaviour occurs in the private -or semi-private- sphere in which much political activity occurs? How do you manage an investigation when the mere existence of a formal investigation might itself end the career of either party? If you wish to keep any investigation secret therefore, does this open you to allegations of a cover-up? Are the structures of a political party robust enough to conduct such an investigation?2
So I have a lot of sympathy for those in the Lib Dems who were first presented with these allegations. I can totally understand why their responses were unsure, or awkward, or unsatisfactory.
Yet this sympathy leads me to be even less sympathetic to the party leadership.
Because if such an allegation were presented to me, as a member of party staff, my instinct would be to do two things.
The first would be to show the complainant I was taking the complaint seriously. I'd want to log their complaint, understand what outcome they wanted, discuss and agree with them the steps I would take, and how I would communicate progress on these to them.
The next step would be to seek senior guidance.
It's here the Lib Dems seemed to have failed, and this is ultimately a failure of leadership. Given that the complaints were being made about the top official in the Lib Dems, then at some point the people who received complaints must have decided whether to pass the complaints on to the very highest level.
If they decided that they would not do so, or to hedge the nature of the complaints, because they knew that the complaints themselves would be unwelcome, then that itself is clearly a cultural failure and a failure of leadership.
So let's assume that they did pass on the complaints. In this case, then a leader has a clear responsibility – they have to say something along the lines of "If this allegation is correct it is unacceptable. We need to find a way to investigate this which is both fair to the complainant and robust in its process. I need a process along these lines setting up immediately, preferably with legal advice, and it needs to have the absolute confidence of the complainants".
Instead of this, the leadership response to the complaints seem to have been informal, provisional, even to deal with solutions (dread phrase) 'Man to Man'. This had the effect of keeping the whole issue quiet, of even being provisionally satisfactory.
The problem with this is that it leaves the question of resolution hanging.
If no clear action is taken, and the consent of the complainant to that resolution isn't agreed, then the complainants don't really know if their concerns have been addressed or ignored.
When they then later see the subject of their complaint honoured, or welcomed back into the counsels of the party, they will understandably fear the latter. They might then speak out, even years after their original complaint.
It is therefore, due to the way the complaints were handled that the complaints are aired many years later.
It is then the leaderships own fault that this comes up at times they do not control, because they sought to evade the responsibility that leadership placed on them.
Harassment is not the fault of a party leader. Harassment can be awkward and complex for any organisation to handle.
That is precisely why the response to harassment is the responsibility of a leader.
The lib Dem leader's reaction to the claims over Lord Rennard have been a classic example of an abdication of responsibility by a leader faced with an uncomfortable choice.
It is a failure of leadership.------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Indeed, the fact that the Telegraph had the details of the complaints, in the week before the General Election of 2010, but that the women concerned refused to speak out publicly suggests something along these lines was happening [↩]
- This is no small issue – If the allegation is possibly criminal, or could result in severe damage to someones career, or the conclusions do lead to someone losing their job, any investigation itself might be subject to legal review [↩]

From the WABI-TV5 & CW Forecast Center:
A storm centered near Newfoundland brought a gusty northwest breeze to Maine today. The gusty wind helped usher a chilly airmass into the Pine Tree State today and the cool air will remain across our region both tomorrow and Saturday. A dome of high pressure will bring generally fair skies to Maine to go along with the chilly temps tomorrow and the first half of Saturday as high temps hold in the 40s to very low 50s both days all across the state, with low temps running in the mid 20s to lower 30s. A storm moving east from the Great Lakes Region will produce a round of showers in Maine beginning later Saturday evening and continuing into Sunday morning, with a few snowflakes possibly mixed with the rain over northern parts of the state. High pressure building southeast from central Canada will bring more dry and chilly into New England as the workweek begins on Monday. The dry and chilly conditions will continue on Tuesday as high pressure dominates our weather, with a storm possibly bringing some rain and snow to Northern New England later Wednesday or Halloween.
Tonight: Mostly to partly cloudy, with a diminishing wind and low temps in the upper 20s to lower 30s.
Friday: Partly cloudy, breezy and cool, with high temps in the 40s to near 50.
Saturday: Partly sunny then increasing clouds afternoon clouds, with high temps in the mid 40s to low 50s.
Sunday: Showers likely possibly mixed with wet snow across the far north and high temps in the mid 40s to low 50s.
Monday: Partly sunny, breezy and cool, with high temps in the mid 40s to low 50s.
Tuesday: Partly sunny and chilly, with high temps in the upper 30s to upper 40s.

Do some reading on Lancôme Visonnaire Advanced Skin Corrector Serum. I'm not sure about how it works on oily skin, or how it works in general honestly, but I just watched some great reviews. I have had a sample bottle of it for 5 or 6 months and thought I would check out what it is supposed to do. I have now heard 3 people say that shrinks pores, acne scars, and corrects tone & discoloration of the skin. It is high dollar. $84 and a bottle will only last a couple months if you use it regularly. Your pores go back to a larger size when you stop using it (I think that's because it mainly blur's the appearance like some primers) but it's correction on acne scars/tone and discoloration seem to last.
You can get samples at Lancôme counters and try it out in advance. It's worth a shot if it seems like something you would be interested in.
When I hear terms like "
" I think, who told cliques they could leave high school??

text: the editor: I want to express my respect for the persons on the six-member jury who held firm in their conviction that no crime was committed when little Christian "CJ" got out of his home and drowned in Crooked River. This loss was a terrible tragedy for CJ's mother, Melissa, his grandparents, the rest of his family, and for all of us in this community. To charge Melissa with neglect, when she sincerely believed that she had provided for her beloved son's safety, is a misuse of our court system. I was appalled last December to read that the Crook County District Attorney justified his accusation by comparing Melissa to a negligent mother who left her three children in her car while she was getting drunk in a public drinking place. I still feel bewildered that such an inflammatory and prejudicial statement was made by someone involved in the case of little CJ's tragic drowning —- an accident, not a crime. I feel it was heartless to indict Melissa just before Christmas when she and her family needed that time to work through their grief together. Melissa had done what she could do to protect her precious child. In her book, It Takes A Village, Hillary Clinton would have you believe the village is the government and it takes the government to raise a child. That is not true. The village is the community. We who see and know any child are the ones who must watch for his well-being, who must be role models for him and his family, who must befriend them so we can help if needed. We must be alert so that if a child is observed to be alone we will immediately return him to his mother. May God help us in our busy lives to reach out to neighbors in our community!

Calvin Johnson's alter ego
ALLEN PARK -- Superstar wide receiver Calvin Johnson is always a conversation topic in the Lions training facility.
Whether it'd be an outstanding catch in practice or demonstration of dedication in the weight room, Johnson ensures that compliments and awe-struck moments of gazing are never few and far between.
Teammate Nate Burleson deviated from Johnson's usual nickname "Megatron" earlier this week, instead comparing the receiver to another out-of-this-world fictional character: Superman.
According to Burleson, Johnson's humble and unassuming personality reflects that of Clark Kent (Superman's alter ego) but his on-the-field performance is much more comparable to the super-human superhero.
"During the week, glasses and tie and we can see the cape hanging out the suit a little bit," joked Burleson. "Then on Sunday, he goes into that booth and he changes and he truly is Superman. The thing I appreciate about Calvin is that he doesn't just do it on Sunday. Last week, Matt threw a post route and it was clear to everybody on the practice field that Calvin wasn't going to get to it… He looked up and tracked the ball and hit another gear and got to the ball. It was one of those things that kind of makes you take deep breath and appreciate who he is.
"He's not just a game day highlight guy. He does things at practice that could make the SportsCenter top 10."
Willie Young Ready To Step Up
When the Detroit Lions selected defensive end Willie Young with the 213th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, they knew they were getting a project.
Young was considered to be a somewhat talented but undeveloped prospect.
That was evident during his rookie season, where he appeared in only two games and registered no tackles. However, he was able to progress and register three sacks in 2011.
After making a leap during his sophomore season in the NFL, Young is hungry for more but understands that to get on the field he must earn the coaching staff's trust.
"I want to continue to show the coaches that I'm trustworthy," said Young. "They can trust and believe in me. I've been averaging around 12-15 snaps. Whatever I deserve, which will be determine in OTAs, minicamp, training camp and the preseason. I'm going to go out and take it one day at a time and show the coaches. Build up my trust."
Young believe he has the talent to succeed and doesn't view himself as a late-round surprise.
"I come in with the approach with that I was a seventh-round pick but I wasn't really a seventh-round pick," said Young of his personal view of his talents. "I was a first-round pick. The confidence that I have, you can't play in this game and not have confidence in yourself. I wasn't hearing all the seventh-round stuff. I know I'm going to go in and do what I do. If you go back and watch my college film, high-school film, you'll see this didn't happen overnight. It took time."
Young has established high goals for himself and wants to reach double digit sacks in 2012.

: I use protective styles as a crutch
The other day I was having a conversation with an acquaintance who basically asked me why I was so ashamed of my hair that I rarely wear it out. I told her that I'm in braids(with my own hair) 97% of the time, because I'm trying to reach length goals and to do this I must protect my hair. However when I went home, I thought about it further and I've realized that I cannot handle my loose hair. I don't hate my hair texture but I just have not learned how to handle it in the 15 months that I have been natural, because I constantly use protective styles to avoid dealing with it.
Whenever I wear it out, its extremely dry and breaking by the end of the day although it was moisturized at the beginning. I henna with reshma(once a month), I shampoo with African black soap(once a month), I condition with desert essences coconut conditioner(once a week), I moisturize with qhemets amla and olive heavy cream and komaza care shea butter lotion(every week), and seal with komaza care moku butter and qhemet's olive and honey hydrating balm(every week), and I deep condition with mozeke's hair masque(every month.).
I feel like I'm doing everything right product wise but it seems like my hair is never happy. . Can y'all please help me find
/products that would allow me to wear my hair out more without dryness by the end of the day. I feel as though I shouldn't be remoisturizing everyday and that I must be doing something wrong as from most of the posts I've read a lot of ladies can go 2+ days without having to moisturize again.
Hair stats:
high porosity
coarse stands(majority of my hair) and fine strands at my nape
medium density
hates Shea butter alone
dislikes cones/petroleum

Thinking the Twentieth Century: Intellectuals and Politics in the… (edition 2012)
by Tony Judt, Timothy Snyder
Work details
Thinking the Twentieth Century: Intellectuals and Politics in the Twentieth Century by Tony Judt
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Before his death from ALS, Tony Judt unexpectedly blossomed into an intellectual titan: penning a history of post-WWII Europe, writing essays for the New York Review of Books, and collecting reminiscences of his lifetime. And just as luckily for us, all of those found print—Europe in the critically-acclaimed Postwar, his last essays in Ill Fares the Land, and his memoir in The Memory Chalet.
Yet Thinking the Twentieth Century is an altogether stranger beast: Judt's last work, which by necessity took the form of a conversation between himself and fellow-historian Timothy Snyder. Interspersed with Judt's own remembrances of his personal/professional trajectory and other topics, he and Snyder begin to trace how exactly liberalism won out over totalitarianism—first in the form of fascism, and then in the long grind against communism. This victory was by no means assured, and seemed impossible at points in the 30s and 40s. Yet it happened, and they tease out how exactly that victory was won.
It's not a book for everyone to be sure, and you'd be better-served tackling one of Judt's other more traditional works first. But it's a marvelous chronicle of a mind at work, and sadly the last one we'll get.
A pleasant journey through the delusional world of the intellectual mind, replete with straw men, ad hominem attacks, and hackneyed economic theory. A good case of Bush Derangement Syndrome adds a bit of humor to an otherwise waste of reading time.
Babelia's Book of the Year (2012)
This is a dense, yet conversational view of the history of the 20th century and the modern world. Judt relates a personal story of his childhood and early life, and then uses this as a background for a broad historical view of the circumstances which shaped and defined modern Europe. Snyder, a fine historian in his own right, acts as a good counterpoint in this dialogue.
These include the actions and reactions of various radical ideologies (Fascism, communism, their differences), the motivations and analysis of various political and economic thinkers (Keynes, Hayek, Lenin), and reactions and descriptions of events as they happened. They cover a lot, and with great detail. The state of Israel, the Hungarian Uprising, Vietnam, a proto-Fascism developing in the United States, and so forth.
I was surprised and saddened to hear that Judt passed away in 2010. I was dazzled by Postwar, his history of Europe post-1945, and was completely unaware of the news. It's heartening, though, to have his legacy go on, and men like Snyder who will come after.
"Not only academics and fans of Judt, but also those who enjoy the New York Review of Books and The New Yorker will flock to read it. Highly recommended."

Bone Volume 3: Eyes of the Storm (original 2006; edition 1997)
by Jeff Smith
Work details
Bone Volume 3: Eyes of the Storm by Jeff Smith (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The Bone trio are still in the valley. Fone really starts to feel for Thorn and Grandma. Phoney continues to scam and scheme. Smiley just goes along with whatever comes his way. The evil in the valley comes closer to war.
Ages 9 to 14
Much more interesting than I was prepared for. The throw-back youthfulness and simplicity of the artwork, and the fantasy genre of the material, had set me up for the kind of story that isn't usually up my alley, but the character work and the subtext of both the dialogue and the artwork made for a fun and eventually fascinating read. By the time I finished this, I wished I'd started at the beginning and was itching to read the rest.
This is another masterpiece in the collected bone series. This book answers some of the questions that readers have from reading the previous two volumes, but does not answer enough to take away from the overall mystery that has been built. The beauty is that it intensifies the mystery aspect of the story instead of taking away. When certain plot points are revealed it feels like we are more invested in the characters and want to know the rest of the details that are being hidden from us by the master craftsman of writing that is Jeff Smith. In some creator-owned series after awhile it seems that the artwork begins to take a hit (which was a fear since this became a popular series where Jeff Smith could have been asked to work for other comic book publishers) but it never does. It keeps the same high level of artistic whimsy that the original volume and the second one held. I highly recommend this and the previous volumes if you want to see how one can successfully create a mystery over a longer period of time without giving all the cookies away. I think almost anyone of any age could enjoy this book if given the chance and one looks past the "graphic novel" aspect that seems to irk some people.
The story progresses, and things are getting a bit darker. After spending time rebuilding Granma Ben's farm, the unusual band of adventurers are settling into more normal routines. At night, however, the ominous warnings continue. Thorn dreams that she is a princess, and is lured over by a shadowy man in a cloak, who looks and sounds like the mysterious villain introduced earlier in the series. However, when she gets to him, the cloak is thrown back to reveal Fone Bone. Fone, meanwhile, has his own strange dream. Borrowing from his favorite book, Fone dreams he is on a ship hunting the great white whale. When they finally spot him, however, he turns out not to be a whale at all, but a red dragon.
The next morning, Smiley and Phoney Bone are rounded up by Lucius, to head back to Barrelhaven and work off their debt to him. Meanwhile, Thorn and Fone talk about confronting Granma Ben over the secrets she is holding. A storm moves, and as it breaks, two conflicts also crash around them: Thorn angrily confronts her grandmother, and Lucius and the boys are chased by rat creatures. The boys get away when Smiley goads the horses to pull their cart over a cliff. Fortunately, they crash into a river and survive. Meanwhile, Granma Ben storms out into the rain to avoid Thorn's questions. Thorn and Fone chase her, and they are surrounded by rat creatures. In desperation, Fone calls out to the red dragon for help. Although Granma Ben tries to muffle him, the dragon does come, and they are saved.
Granma is finally ready to give some answers. She explains the history of the area: in this valley there once was a great kingdom ruled by people, called Atheia. The dragons ruled the mountains on one side, and the rats on the other. The rats wanted the valley, so they went to war with the humans. Eventually the war ended with the people still in control of the valley. Then the rats began attacking again, but this time they were smarter and crueler. The ruling family had to flee, and hide with the dragons, but in the process, the king and queen were killed, leaving their daughter behind. Thorn was that daughter.
In Barrelhaven, Phoney and Smiley have returned to their old antics. Phoney bet Lucius that he could do more business in the bar, forgetting that the whole town hates him. When he is losing the bet, he further alienates the town with insults, and unthinkingly wishes the dragon were there to protect him when the crowd gets unruly. The men are instantly arrested by the word, and demand more details about this dragon. In the hubbub, a mysterious figure takes Lucius aside and gives him a signal. The story then cuts to the bad guy, who is creepier every time we see him. This time, the crowd of locus comes swarming around his head for a little chat, before flying off on some unknown errand. He then walks up a rickety rope bridge to a cave, where he reports to a voice. So, creepy cloak guy is not the head boss. This volume ends with Granma Ben informing Thorn and Fone that she has received word that things have changed, and they need to go. They pack their belongings - including a sword and shield - and leave their house.
A lot of background is divulged in this book (making my review rather long). Some secrets are answered, but many more remain to be explored. The villain is increasingly fascinating and scary. The plot deepens, but the humor remains. Each volume adds more layers to its characters, and builds my attachment to them. The world is building out, too, as we learn more about its history and domains. I am quite intrigued by this story, and eager to read the next installment. However, I will start screening them before I read them to my girls. Affairs are getting darker, which works to make the story interesting to me, but might be too much for my little ones. This series may need to be one they read when they are older. I'll have the books ready to go for them, though, because I am on board and look forward to reading the next volume.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0439706386, Paperback)As the first Bone trilogy comes to a conclusion, questions are answered, mysteries are revealed, and the stage is set for the brewing conflict in the valley. Jeff Smith is in top form in Bone: Eyes of the Storm. His artful balancing of humor, suspense, and pathos makes for an unforgettable reading experience. The dream sequences in this volume are inspired pieces of comics storytelling, especially the six-page "Moby Bone" sequence: the pacing, illustration, symbolism, and panel layout are close to perfect. A special addition to this collection is a set of more than 40 pages that have been retouched from the already near-perfect original comics. There are also 5 never-before-seen story pages and 9 new illustrations.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:22 -0400)
Lucius, Smiley and Phoney are attacked by rat creatures in the forrest, barely making it to Lucius' tavern. At the farm, Fone Bone and Thorn are having strange dreams and Gran'ma Ben suddenly begins revealing long-kept secrets and new dangers.

Today my family took me out to the park and boy did I have fun. Sure it was a little hot, but nothing could stop me from enjoying myself. I took my masters for a walk and I even got to drink water out of a paper cup. I rolled around in the mud for a while and than it was time to go home. I was so good they even let me ride in the truck with them. BOY DID I HAVE A GOOD DAY TODAY! I'm exhausted now I think I'll go take a nap.
