The parliament of Hungary passed a new piece of legislation designed to protect future generations against the stupidity of modern leaders who refuse to deal with the environment. Sandor Fulop, an environmental lawyer, has been appointed to the new position of what is being termed the "green ombudsman." In this position, Mr. Fulop's main responsibility will be protecting the rights of Hungarians yet to be born that their current nation is considering the world into which they will be born. The hope is to halt efforts by modern Hungarians to impact the environment in destructive ways.
Mr. Fulop's main responsibility is to analyze actions by Hungary's government that entail making "environmentally destructive decisions" which can prove damaging to the rights of those unborn to inhabit a world that allows humans to live in harmony with their planet. This appointment may be the first of its kind on planet Earth and the Hungarian people deserve an accolade for their creative futuristic manner of thinking.

The study: Active video games that get kids dancing and boxing may provide significant cardiovascular benefits and calorie burn. A study published online today in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine noted the physiological changes in 18 boys and girls aged 11 to 15. The children played two Kinect games: Dance Central and Kinect Sports Boxing as well as sedentary video games.
During the Dance Central game energy expenditure increased 150 percent over resting rates, and during the boxing game it went up 263 percent. Compared to passive video gaming, the rates were 103 percent and 194 percent higher, respectively. Researchers also saw improvements during the active games in heart rate and peak oxygen uptake, both markers for cardiovascular health.
MORE: Obesity Drops Among Philadelphia: Are Programs Working?
What we already know: Exercise physiologists have had high hopes for active video games ever since they came on the market, believing they might be a great way to get sedentary kids to move. With childhood obesity rates at alarming levels, practically anything that encourages exercise is welcome. Early games however, promoted little activity, and controllers were cumbersome and got in the way.
However, as games evolved they allowed kids to really step it up. A 2011 study in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine journal found that games such as Dance Dance Revolution and Sportwall helped kids burn more calories compared to walking on a treadmill at 3 miles an hour. The advent of controller-less Kinect games (the system uses a webcam-style sensor) allows players to move more freely.
What this means for you: If you want to get your couch-loving kids to move, you might try giving them what they already love: video games. Make sure they're games that encourage moderate to vigorous exercise—you could even try them yourself.
The study authors wrote that while the results of these games were good, there's no data to tell if children will still use them several months or even a year down the road. Even if they are, it's a good idea to introduce kids to different types of age-appropriate games and workouts that train various muscles and stave off boredom.
Do you think active video games are a good way for kids to get exercise? Let us know in the comments.

A festive mood prevailed as the annual Thanksgiving parade made its way through the crowded streets of New York under brilliant sunshine. About 3.5 million people were expected to crowd the parade route, sponsor Macy's predicted, while an additional 50 million watched from home.
A jetpack-wearing monkey and a freakish creation from filmmaker Tim Burton are two of the big new balloons making inaugural appearances. They joined fan favorites like Snoopy and Spider-Man. "Those kids, they play good music and they really put on a good show," said Wilfred Denk, from Munich, as he watched the marching bands. He and his wife, Bethina, were on their honeymoon in New York.
In all, the parade featured more than 40 balloon creations, 27 floats, 800 clowns and 1,600 cheerleaders. The star power included Mary J Blige, Cee Lo Green, Avril Lavigne and the Muppets of Sesame Street.
When the parade started in 1924, it included live animals such as camels, goats and elephants, but they were replaced by giant helium balloons in 1927. Since the beginning, the balloons have been based on popular cultural characters and holiday themes. Returning favourites this year include Buzz Lightyear, SpongeBob SquarePants and Kermit the Frog.
Barack Obama telephoned 10 US military members stationed abroad to wish them a happy Thanksgiving and praise their service. The President made the calls yesterday morning from the Oval Office to two members each from the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy who are deployed in support of US operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The G Perspective
Friday, 14 February 2014
Ah, Valentine's Day, the hallmark holiday here to bring the annual reminder to the single that they are in fact single. With the uneasy transition of January into February I think we saw this day approaching. During the days leading up to Valentine's Day, a few of my friends asked me how I was going to "deal" with being single on this momentous occasion. I simply explained that I would go about my day like every other day, loving life, loving the lord, and loving myself. In this day and age people have started describing singleness as a "curse" or "just a phase we all go through", when really it's an awesome season of life. For the single this valentine's day, DON'T ABUSE YOUR SINGLENESS, because you don't know how long you have until it's over! And personally, I think you can't be happy with someone until you learn to be happy with yourself. You can't expect someone to be the source of all your joy. The thing about people is, is that we're only human. We'll let you down, we'll disappoint you, and we'll inevitably mess up. You can't completely wrap your life around one person. You have to learn to be happy alone before you can ever be happy with someone else. Your partner should be someone to compliment you, not complete you. So, Happy Valentine's Day to all the happy couples, what you have together is beautiful and special (don't abuse each other either!), and to all my single ladies and men Happy Valentine's day, and just have fun with it!

Jimmy Kennedy and
Larry Johnson were some of the elite names opting out of the festivities here in
Indianapolis, favoring individual workouts to show their talents to scouts.
Despite that, several players substantially enhanced their draft rankings since Thursday.
The offensive linemen were the first to take the turf Friday morning as several enhanced their stock with impressive performances. Jordan Gross of Utah stood out and after running as fast as any blocker in attendance, turned in a terrific drill session which garnered the attention of several teams. Gross is stating his case to be a top five pick and the recent rumors of Houston tabbing him with the draft's third selection may not be off base.
Eric Steinbach continued his tear from the Senior Bowl and after a vertical leap of 36-inches, again displayed the skill to be a blind side protector at tackle which endeared him to the hearts of scouts in attendance.
Vince Manuwai redeemed himself after a sub-par showing in Mobile and had a good session on Friday. The Hawaii guard was fleet across the surface of the RCA Dome but most importantly weighed in with only 18.6% body fat, which was a concern for teams.
Equally as impressive was Kwame Harris, the most athletic blocker on the field Friday morning. The recent history of right tackles from college moving to the weak side in the NFL has not been good but Harris seemingly displayed the skills needed to be successful in that transition should he be asked to make it.
Obviously the headline of the afternoon's session was Justin Fargas. Known mostly as a power back during his tenure in college, the USC product scorched the field clocking a pair of forty-times in the 4.3-area. Each time he sped across the turf scouts put down their watches and said, "WOW!" Factor in the pass catching skills Fargas displayed at the Senior Bowl and he jumped into the draft's initial forty-five selections.
Today the defensive linemen had the spotlight and several fared well. Junior Johnathan Sullivan of Oklahoma State's Kevin Williams both displayed top-notch athletic skills and moved their 300-pound frames easily about the field, giving scouts the impression both would be effective in a two-gap (three-four alignment) scheme as well as holding their own as stand-alone tackles. Williams especially further enhanced his final grade.
Many of the smaller defensive ends were put through a battery of linebacker drills at days end and some results were sterling. Clemson's Bryant McNeal and Cincinnati's Antwan Peek, a pair of players that lined up in a three-point stance in college, looked natural playing off the line off scrimmage and making plays in space. Even with that none compared to Shurron Pierson.
The little known junior prospect from the University of South Florida sped across the field with a pair of forty-times in the low 4.6-area. He then blew away the competition with a broad jump more than 6-inches longer than the nearest linemen. When placed at linebacker Pierson displayed the same quickness and explosion as he had earlier in the day. While the NFL rarely looks to the USF Bulls for pro-prospects, Pierson has turned their heads and may now be headed towards the first day of the draft.
On the flip side, several of the invitees did not fare as well and performed poorly over the last two days. Derrick Dockery looked slow and sluggish, or more to the point as one scout said, woefully out of shape. Washington State's Rien Long also looked heavy footed even though he did not run. There are still serious questions about where the Outland Trophy winner will be drafted.
Passes will be flying in the air tomorrow as the quarterbacks take flight working out along with the receivers and tight end.
Many Enhanced Their Draft Ranking

nak so it'll be brief.
babe takes my pinky and is relatively calm when dh is driving...meaning cries off & on
if i drive...he's screaming bloody murder ...sometimes will fall asleep, sometimes quiet for few moments then start crying again.
don't want to use a pacifier... i talk to him, sing to him, pat his head...
anybody else dealing or dealt with this? ideas? it's so sad...just breaks my heart!
Yeah, the hating the car stage is one I'm dreading - it took a full year after DS stopped to stop having a racing heart pulling up to a red light.
White noise, shushing, singing, and loud music can help.
DCP to 1 busy munchkin! and a CRST too!
Yep we're dealing with that too. So far my solution is to avoid driving anywhere. I do have to get groceries now and again though and have just had to deal with it. It's so stressful, even for a 10 minute drive.
My other possible solutions are:
Set him in the car seat in the house for short periods so he gets used to being in it
Go for short rides to get him used to being in the car
Change car seats (I also have a convertible & another bucket I can try)
I've tried shushing, loud music and a soother, he won't take it, nothing helps. My ds hated his car seat til he was 3months and dd hated hers for a year so i don't know if anything will work. I have heard of people getting chiropractic help for it so that's maybe another option.
I would like to go to my SIL baby shower in 2 wks and it's a 1.5hr drive and for Easter we want to visit our extended family 2 hrs away so I'm hoping something gives before then!
In my circle of friends carseats are jokingly called "baby torture devices." We were minimizing DS's trips...which got easier when the axle on our van broke last week. Riding the bus in the sling he minds not at all.
I did introduce the pacifier today...and DS actually fell asleep NOT on a person and stayed that way...for an hour now. Yay! He'd been nursing about half the time all day with no real nap. (I don't like using the sling in the house, and our pattern has become sit and nurse, DS fall asleep, lay him down, have 5 minutes to do something else, DS wakes up, we do a burp and diaper check then sit and nurse, repeat).
breastfeeding, babywearing, homeschooling Heathen parent to my little Wanderer, 7 1/2 , and baby Elf-stone, 3/11!
Julian quiets right down when we start music. Anyhing will do but he loves the songs I played a lot during preganacy!
That's so hard. I don't really have any advice because we use a paci for the carseat but for a while I had to ride in the backseat and attend to baby while daddy drove. Do u not use a paci because of LAM or do you just not want to use a paci? I had totally made up my mind to not use a paci before she was born but now she of course uses one (grrrr...dang it!). I have made up my mind though, that as soon as she starts teething its GONE! She really only uses it if she is having trouble falling back to sleep in the middle of the night. For some reason she doesn't fall asleep when she nurses...just dozes off for a minute and then has to babble to herself and wave her arms around for about 15 minutes like she's talking to her invisible friend before falling back to sleep. Silly girl .
At least you aren't one of those mommies that tote their babies around in the carseat carrier everywhere and never carry them. That always bothers me.
baileyb--i'm not sure what LAM is...but i just don't want to use one, i just don't want to get babe attached to a thing that means withdrawal later. i also have a stepdaughter who still sucks on one at 6 and i'm probably a bit against it for that too. i'd rather he get that comfort from me. hopefully this passes soon. but i have heard all kinds of time ranges. luckily it's not everyday that i need to drive by myself!
as for the babe always in the car seat...that bothers me too! in fact we took the kind you can't carry around with you like that because i didn't want to deal with carrying it! i'd much rather carry the babe...it just looks like a back-breaker to carry around!
Thankfully, Mazie seems to be ok in the car most of the time. It really helps that she has her fabulous big sister right next to her to keep her company. It's so much harder when it's your first, and they're alone back there crying inconsolably. With #2 and #3 we skipped the infant (bucket) seats, but we did have one with #1. Because it was a lot shorter than a convertible, I was able to reach back and let her suck on the pinky of my right hand while driving with my left. Not very comfortable, but super helpful! I don't know what kind of car you have (ours was pretty small), but maybe you could find a bucket seat to borrow for awhile and see if you can reach Phoenix? Even when my pinky didn't keep Raina from crying, I was glad I could at least touch her and hold her hand.
try tuning your FM station to one of those inbetween ones where it's really fuzzy and turn it way up! white noise may help.
This may be very controversial, but with our first (who screamed from the minute she got in the car until the minute she got out -- for MONTHS) we finally decided to put the carseat in the front with me. Our car automatically turns off the airbags with a weight sensor. It was a tricky balance, but I felt that between my stress level and the distraction (and body contortion), it was safer for her to be in the front seat.
Yes, to everyone else's suggestions: singing, radio, etc. We also pump the brakes a bit at red lights to keep the car moving/bouncing. We tried to introduce a paci just for the car but they tend to lose it anyway and when you're driving you can't really help them find it. (For what it's worth though, both of my kids did take some comfort from the paci in the car occasionally and never really got into it otherwise - they were hardcore nursers through and through). We also limit car rides as much as possible.
And unfortunately, it didn't really get better until they were out of the bucket seats, and got better again when they were turned front facing (DS was turned too early because I didn't know better).
Silas has surprised us so far and is remarkably good about the car seat. He is 7 weeks and I've only experienced one drive where he didn't calm down as soon as the car was moving. I keep trying to remember how soon car seat hatred starts - I'm not ready to believe yet that he'll be ok with it. With the other two I remember just awful car rides!!
Sorry that you're dealing with that Ashley - it's really not fun.

text: I am going to ask a probably stupid question. Has anybody "sighted in" their P22. I am shooting high left, does anybody have any idea which front sight I should attached and if the rear sight is adjustable. I don't have the gun with me right now. So I can't check on these things.

Pumpkin Spice "Bulletproof" Coffee
Fall is officially here y'all so why not start adding a little pumpkin to your coffee. This Pumpkin Spice Bulletproof Coffee came from a desire to add better carbohydrates to my diet (Since going the Paleo route) and because I love the coffee that can be purchased at Starbucks but what nutritional value could that possibly have? I must confess I love Pumpkin in anything (at least as far as I know now)
Bulletproof coffee is not my concept or idea. This credit must go to Dave Asprey and this is a link to his recipe and his story of how this deliciousness came to be. I have been absolutely amazed at how great I feel drinking this coffee with either Grass Fed Butter (which is really just whipped cream folks) or some high quality coconut oil like Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.
Here is my take on this yummy fall goodness. Enjoy.
6 - 8 oz of fresh brewed coffee
2 T of Pumpkin Puree
2 T Coconut Cream
1 t Pumpkin Pie Spice
2 T Maple Syrup
1 1/2 T Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil
dash of Cinnamon for the top of the drink
Place all of the ingredients in either a blender or you could use an immersion blender like I do. If using an immersion blender you will need to place the ingredients in a glass twice as tall as needed. This extra space will be needed for the whipping and frothing. Blend all of the ingredients until well combined, approx 1 minute. If using the immersion blender make sure to push it up and down the full length of the glass and at the end let it blend close to the top of the mixture to help create a nice froth.
**This recipe would also be delicious with some whipped Coconut Cream added to the top.**
Pour your combined mixture into your favorite glass. Add a dash of cinnamon to the top and enjoy!
I had to take a sip!

April is a big month for tree-huggin' hippies like me across America and around the globe.
On Monday April 22, environmentally-concerned citizens worldwide will celebrate Earth Day. And on Friday April 26, tree-loving Americans will celebrate Arbor Day.
Since its inception in Nebraska way back in 1872, Arbor Day has spread to every continent although it's held on various days throughout the year.
So, how do you celebrate with the tree-hugger in your life? Perhaps you'll consider sending cookie gifts or a brownie gift basket wrapped in our festive and flowery springtime bands.
Now, at Fairytale Brownies, we love our cookies. They taste amazing and look darn good too.
However, we can't match the artistry of Japan's 23-year-old wunderkind Risa Hirai, who uses colored icing to paint intricate bonsai trees onto vanilla cookies. Her work has become so famous that it was recently displayed at Gallery Tokyo Humanité.
There's only one downside. You can't look at them after you've eaten them.
"I often eat them," Hirai told NPR. "Those exhibited for a while cannot be eaten, so I keep them displayed. But I eat other cookies with friends or give them to someone as a gift."
We think Hirai's cookie creations are too beautiful to be eaten. So, here's our recommendation. Keep on painting those beautiful bonsai cookies. But don't eat them!
Send brownie gift baskets or cookie gifts from Fairytale Brownies instead. Your friends will have something delicious to eat without devouring something so beautiful to view.
P.S. At Fairytale Brownies, we strive to do our part for the planet including printing our catalogs on paper certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative.

t approximately 11 o'clock Monday night, April 5, 2010, DeFuniak Springs Police received a 911 call concerning an armed attack taking place at the Chevron on US Highway 331 South.
The victim, a 60 year old white male, reported he was waiting outside of the store to give one of the employees a ride home. While filling his tires with air he was approached from behind, a gun stuck in his face, and a man's voice saying "give me your money".
Once the victim yelled out for help, he was struck in the back of the head with what is believed to be the butt of the gun. The suspect, a black male described by witnesses to be bald, and about 6 foot tall and weighing approximately 200-250 pounds, then fled on foot running through the Lowe's parking lot, adjacent to the scene.
The victim was transported to Healthmark Regional Hospital for medical attention. The DeFuniak Springs Police is conducting an ongoing investigation. If anyone has information pertaining to this incident please contact the DFS Police at (850) 892-8513.

The production is set in England with the Dashwood family. It begins with the loss of Henry Dashwood. His widow and two daughters are left on their own to find their future.
Dashwood's brother, John, fails to support the three women, so they accept a new residence in a different village. Before their departure, Elinor, the oldest daughter at 19 years of age, begins to fall for her sister-in-law's brother, Edward. Edward in turn falls in love with Elinor, but the play leads to secrets and confusion between the woman he wishes to love versus the woman his forward mother seeks for him.
During this time the younger Dashwood daughter, Marianne, falls for the handsome John Willoughby who also falls for her, but leaves for London and is caught in a marriage he did not seek.
Love from a Col. Brandon comes to Marianne over time as she recognizes his love and care toward her. Austen's portrayal of love creates a lesson for what real love is and the principle of how women and men do not always understand each other in relationships, but come to an understanding in the end.
Marianne's struggle to overcome her strong feelings for Willoughby, who is played by Sam Ashdown, was portrayed much like a real-life relationship break up. Austen's story portrays realistic situations and brings a spark of passion and emotion as the viewer can experience the journey the characters go through.
Actresses Cassandra Bissell and Eva Balistrieri play the Dashwood sisters with precision. Audience emotions connect freely with the stage performers. These two bring the play to life.
The character Mrs. Jennings, a widow herself, takes the Dashwoods in and seeks to help the Dashwood daughters to find their husbands. Kathleen Brady plays this part of a mother seeking the best for a pair of daughters she informally adopts as her own.
The play is enjoyable with small town gossip, high expectations, a yearning for love and humor in a classic story adapted for the stage.

Jenkins: What Labor Could Learn From NFL Refs
In the pro-football standoff, the referees association won largely because—get this—it brings value to the league.
Many Americans start from the premise that in any dispute between organized labor and management, labor should win. Yet it's hard to see why. We don't assume one party is virtuous and the other wicked when two parties are bickering over the price of a car on Craigslist.
Labor fights are fights over more for me, less for you. They aren't (usually)...

Jamal argues that, in state-centralized environments, associations can just as easily promote civic qualities vital to authoritarian citizenship--such as support for the regime in power. Thus, any assessment of the influence of associational life on civic life must take into account political contexts, including the relationships among associations, their leaders, and political institutions.
Barriers to Democracy both builds on and critiques the multifaceted literature that has emerged since the mid-1990s on associational life and civil society. By critically examining associational life in the West Bank during the height of the Oslo Peace Process (1993-99), and extending her findings to Morocco, Egypt, and Jordan, Jamal provides vital new insights into a timely issue.


text: chris - Unregistered February 27, 2012 4:14 PM Same old garbage about Schumacher depriving some other driver of a good F1 seat. The Merc board are quite capable of choosing the driver they want, and in fact have said they might want to extend Schumacher's contract. Was Rosberg quicker in last weeks Barcelona test? - no, Schumacher was. Schumacher was also more positive about the cars potential. Rosberg to date is certainly the better qualifier, but a dull racer. Schumacher showed far more fight last year. 15 agree 6 disagree

Good day to be out riding around with the top down!! Did anybody go to the cruise in?
I had planned on it but me and Jason put my snorkel on lastnight. I still need to clean up the cut and put some trim on it so its kinda ugly looking now. Besides, I WAY overslept!
Very cool you got the snorkel too! Did you get the same as Jason? We ended up taking the motorcycle out for a drive instead of the Jeep. Are you still thinking of getting the Jeep bed lined? I have the guys contact info and he does really good work for a phenomenal price.

Nice!! I like it.

Cool thanks.
So I went and explored part of the Iron Bridge Wildlife area by Mother Neff State Park. I didnt get many pictures of the area because I was trying (unsuccesfully) to get a cool shot of my Jeep. Spent about 3 hours playing around there.
Most of you lifted and locked folks would be bored, but I still had fun.
I was alone so I didnt want to get crazy. Couple of those mud holes got my heart pumping even though I was taking it slow.
The river there wasnt much for fishing so then I went over to the actual Iron Bridge Park.
Not much for fishing there either, but all I had was bass lures, looked like the others there were going for cat.
All in all a fun morning. Now I have to go hose the Jeep down, my appartment people have already complained about the mud, and I've only been back for 15 mins!
That does look like fun! We went out there once after a heavy rain and it was really muddy and slippery. Like you we took it easy since we were solo. Let us know if you want to go again sometime.
Cool pics!
When is the next meet
Hey guys/gals, please feel free to come down to Bryan/College station to join us at our meets at Brazos Valley Off Road Ranch.
The link to the thread here on WF is the second link in my signature. Promised fun for all who come!
We are wheeling this Sunday at 2pm if anyone would like to join us. Also there will be a film crew on hand doing some off road riding and filming. So you may get lucky to have someone ride with you!

I thought I would post a pic I took in January of a pair of Barrows that I saw in Soda Springs. This was after the season and they were sitting on a city fishing pond.
A friend and I have done some studying and we think we know where we can find some late season this year. It would be pretty cool to put a Barrows on the wall this year.
Sorry the photo isn't great, it was pretty foggy that morning.

Summer practicum is an immersive experience that takes students out of the classroom and into the outdoors at the Solon Dixon Forestry Education Center outside of Andalusia, AL. Students live and work at the Dixon Center taking courses that provide them with hands-on learning and the field skills necessary for their education and future careers.
Our alumni tell us that summer practicum is transformative. Not only do students experience a 5,300 acre classroom like no other, but lifelong friendships are made during practicum.
Forestry students are required to attend for eight (8) weeks and wildlife students, six (6) weeks. Summer practicum will begin May 8th, 2017. Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the timing and register for the second minimester, which begins June 26.

Mandatory reporting legislation in the USA, Canada and Australia: a cross-jurisdictional review of key features, differences and issues
Mathews, Benjamin P. & Kenny, Maureen (2008) Mandatory reporting legislation in the USA, Canada and Australia: a cross-jurisdictional review of key features, differences and issues. Child Maltreatment, 13(1), pp. 50-63.
|PDF (100kB)
Mandatory child abuse reporting laws have developed in particular detail in the US, Canada, and Australia, as a central part of governments' strategy to detect cases of abuse and neglect at an early stage, protect children, and facilitate the provision of services to children and families. Yet, the terms of these laws differ in significant ways, both within and between these nations, with the differences tending to broaden or narrow the scope of cases required to be reported, and by whom. The purpose of this paper is to provide a current and systematic review of mandatory reporting legislation in the three countries which have invested most heavily in them to date. A comparison of key elements of these laws is conducted, disclosing significant differences and illuminating the issues facing legislatures and policymaking bodies in countries already having the laws. These findings will also be instructive to those jurisdictions still developing their laws and to those which may in the future choose to design a system of mandatory reporting.

MPs will press the Treasury this week to drop the controversial automatic rise in beer duty above the rate of inflation. This follows claims that it could cost the pub and club industry as many as 10,000 jobs over the next two years.
Andrew Griffiths, the chairman of the all party Parliamentary Beer Group requested the debate after an online petition attracted more than 100,000 signatures. He said: "This is a big chance to get the beer duty escalator scrapped once and for all."
The escalator, introduced by the Labour government in 2008, means that duty on beer rises by 2 per cent more than inflation every year automatically.
The motion which will be debated for three hours on Thursday calls for a full review of the escalator and its "economic and social impact" as more and more pubs close.
The British Beer & Pub Association (BBPA) says that one million jobs rely on the £28bn-a-year brewing and pub industries. It says since 2008 beer duty has increased by 42 per cent and now more than £1 goes to the Treasury on every pint sold.
Greg Mulholland MP, the chairman of the Parliamentary Save The Pub group, said: "There has never been a review of the beer duty escalator since its introduction. We are calling specifically for that to happen now before the Budget of 2013 to allow the Treasury to review the situation and make recommendations on how it should change."
The Treasury estimates that next year's beer duty escalator will raise an extra £35m but the BBPA claims that the subsequent drop in beer sales and job losses would far outweigh this.
In the three months to September, the BBPA says beer sales in pubs fell by 4.6 per cent or the equivalent of 117 million fewer pints being drunk than in the same period last year.
Jonathan Neame, the chief executive of Kent-based brewer Shepherd Name and currently chairman of the BBPA, said: "Far from bringing more cash in, we know that huge tax hikes are costing the Government revenues, yet do nothing to tackle the deficit, as the Government claims.
"We also need to recognise that not all drinks are the same. Spirits are now the drink of choice among young adults on a 'big night out', with vodka increasingly favoured by under-18s.
"While taxation is a blunt tool to tackle alcohol misuse, it should at least encourage consumption of lower-strength drinks, like beer."
The Government's side in the debate is likely to be put by Treasury minister Sajid Javid.Reuse content

I live in a three section housing development, and the first section (right next to mine) had a reall issue not long ago with home invasions. The last was in broad daylight, the guys kicked in the door to a house while a single mom and her daughter were inside watching TV.
My neighbors, being frightened, decided to do something about it. They came to me and said they were calling me if someone was trying to break in. My response, "Don't bother. I won't come. Call the cops. Or maybe buy and learn how to use your own gun." Unfortunetly, only two did go out and buy guns (both shotguns). And months later... our one ultra liberal family, who was part of that group, has now started trying to bring up me disarming myself in casual conversation (somehow, guns in my home are a threat to their children three houses away... who never come to our house). I just laugh and walk away.
Action will always be put off... usually put off longer than memories last.

Re: Rule 18 and Starboard Tack at the Leeward Mark
Thanks for confirming that. It "felt" wrong - if everyone did that we'd have loads of collisions.
If you truly were the inside boat in the three boat length circle at the leeward mark then you were required to be given room by the other boats. The starboard boat which came in from clear astern only had rights on boats which were outside or behind him before the three boat length circle. By that boat making you change course at the mark rounding he fouled you and every other boat that owed you room at the mark.
In a protest committee you would've been exonerated and probably could've gotten redress for avoiding the collision. The boat on starboard that barged in would've been thrown out for not exonerating themselves by doing a 720. This would of course only have occurred if someone on your boat or the surrounding boats had protested as per RRS or the SI's if they were different.
The overtaking boat should've taken the outside of the pinwheel, gotten clear air and left you behind. I see this situation a lot with catamaran sailors who think higher speed = more rights.
Rule 18 and Starboard Tack at the Leeward Mark
A situation I was in in a race last year has been bugging me and it would be awesome to get some clarity on it.
Winds were light and as we rounded the leeward mark on port tack (heading for a port tack reach) we were in a bunch of boats, perhaps half a dozen or so. We managed to get inside and overlapped on the front row and it seemed like we were going to have a great rounding, though everyone was going pretty slowly.
Into this situation a significantly larger and faster boat approached, in clear air and on starboard. We were already within a couple of boat lengths of the mark and they just barged in front causing us to take evasive action and nabbing our position on the inside of the rounding.
The captain and tactician did not protest as the other boat had starboard advantage but my understanding is that this only applies at the windward mark and in this case big boy needed to step back and take his turn.
Who's right?

1932 Auburn 12-160A news, pictures, specifications, and information
Frank and Morris Eckhart of the Eckhart Carriage Company were responsible for founding the Auburn Automobile Company in 1900 and by 1903 they produced their first car. It was a small center-engine chain-driven one-cylinder runabout with nothing but the basics, though it did ride on pneumatic tires. The company grew gradually going from two- to four- to six-cylinders and by 1918 it offered four body styles, all six-cylinders. Hit hard by the post-War depression, Auburn was facing insolvency by 1924. Along came Errett Loban cord. Cord arrived in Chicago in 1919 with just $45 to his name. He was hired by the Quinlan Motor Company to sell Moon automobiles; quickly rising through the ranks becoming general manager and ultimately purchasing an interest in the company. Now with $100,000 in his pocket, he was hired by Auburn as general manager whereby he purchased a controlling interest in the company. By 1924 he became president of the company and bought the famous Duesenberg marque as his crowning jewel.
A young designer named Alan Leamy, himself arriving at Duesenberg when he was just 25 years old, was the man responsible for penning the Auburn Speedster just three years into his career at the age of 28. George Kublin, Auburns chief engineer, designed the 160 horsepower Lycoming-built V-12 which powers this Speedster. Auburn built just 59 Speedsters including 37 highly appointed 12-160A models like this at a base price of $1,425. Included was a newly developed Columbia 2-speed rear-end, effectively giving the car six forward speeds, as well as cockpit adjustable shock absorbers and Startix automatic re-start. Today it seems hard to believe that a car this stylish was America's lowest price V-12 when new.
The group formed by Errett Lobban Cord was one of the most creative in American automotive history. They were responsible for the Duesenberg J in 1928, the Cord L-29 in 1929 and the Auburn V12 in 1932. The 391 cubic-inch V12 engine developed 160 horsepower and had a top speed of 93 mph. An Auburn V-12 set many speed records in 1932, some of which survived until after World War II.
The most distinctive characteristic of the new Auburn was its outstanding price, which is very affordable. They offered five versions: a coupe, cabriolet, brougham, sedan, speedster, and a phaeton. None of them cost more than $1,145 in 1932.
This vehicle is equipped with wood 'Artillery' wheels, which are somewhat unique as most 12-160As were purchased with wire wheels and dual side mount spare tires. According to records, this is one of the few remaining (if not the only one) examples with these 'Artillery' wheels.

(did not sell)
In the 1930s E.L. Cord's Auburns offered multi-cylinder performance and dramatic styling at a price that was noticeable lower than that of many other luxury cars. This V-12 convertible Phaeton, with a Lycoming-built V-12 engine and a 2-speed rear axle, is an excellent example of why the cars were such a success during the difficult economic times of the early 1930s.
Phaeton Sedan
This car is Adam Leam's design, known as the 'Baby Duesenberg.' It has a Lycoming twelve-cylinder overhead-valve engine, with 160 horsepower, and a Columbia two-speed differential. The price new in 1932 (during the height of the Great Depression) was $1,545.00.
This Auburn Coupe is one of only four known to exist. The Auburn Twelve cylinder line was introduced in 1932 and was the least expensive twelve cylinder automobile ever marketed. The Auburn Company had hoped that marketing a twelve cylinder vehicle in a price class of eights would be the key to its success. Unfortunately, the car never sold in sufficient numbers.
The current owner purchased this car in 1959.

This 1932 Auburn 12-160A Sedan has been driven only 8800 miles since new. It was purchased in 1932 by Mr. Robert Heinemann of Hamiliton, Ohio. It was properly stored and maintained for several decades by the original owner. It is believed to be the lowest mileage Auburn twelve cylinder vehicle to exist. This is a very complete vehicle, even retaining the operating instruction tag for the two speed rear axle and free wheeling device.
By Daniel Vaughan | Jul 2010
Automobile enthusiasts Baron Jr., Miles, and Sam Collier of New York's Collier Advertising dynasty were instrumental in forming the Airmobile Racing Club of America in the 1930's. This 1932 Auburn Speedster was owned by Sam Collier who nicknamed the car Beelzebub. The vehicle was somewhat modified for racing by adding the small windshields, the large tachometer and the copper cooling coil. The vehicle was road raced in Europe in 1933 against smaller cars such as MGs, Bugattis, and Model A Fords. In 1936 Sam raced it at the Cotton carnival Road Race in Memphis where he took top honors for the Touring Class. In 1937, Sam's brother Baron Jr., sped to a second place overall victory in the Climb to the Clouds race held at Mt. Washington.

Sold for $110,000 at
2010 RM Auctions
This Model 12-160A has a two-tone red color scheme with orange pinstriping and a tan canvas top and matching cover for the rear-mounted trunk. The car is fitted with Trippe driving lights, and dual side-mount spares that carry mirrors at the top. The interior is upholstered in brown leather with tan contrasting tan carpets. The odometer currently shows 2,025 miles which may well be the mileage accumulated since the restoration. A Philco accessory radio is fitted, installed under the dashboard with the control head on the steering column.

The V-12 engine found in the 1932 Auburn was designed by chief engineer George Kublin. It had a narrow 45-degree 'vee' and an unusual combustion chamber, which was set on an angle to the cylinders. The valves were in the heads, but they were horizontal, and they were operated by a single camshaft through the rockers. The 391 cubic-inch engine offered 160 horsepower. Though the engine was smaller than its competitors, it was no less powerful. Standard equipment on the Custom models included the famous Dual-Ratio rear axle, allowing the car to be driven in either high gear ratios, for open country roads, or in a lower ratio, for city driving.
At Muroc Dry Lake, Eddie Miller drove a Speedster model to 31 American speed records from flying starts and nine international records from standing starts.
These cars were produced for only a short period, lasting from 1932 to 1934. They were the first 12-cylidner car to have a starting price under $1,000.
This Auburn Twelve Custom Phaeton model 12-160A was formerly owned by Larry Dorcy who displayed it at the 2009 edition of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The car was restored several years ago in a two-tone blue, using shades similar to the factory-correct Auburn Blue. There is a leather interior, a canvas top, and blue Wilton wool carpets. During restoration, the car was upgraded with the Salon model trim, including chrome inserts below the windows, Salon door handles, and polished stainless trim on the hood louvers. It has chromed headlamps, headlights, and wire wheels with covered side-mounts. The engine was fully rebuilt during the restoration, and given an American-LaFrance V-12 engine block.

Alan Leamy designed the Auburn speedster at the young age of 28, and George Kublin, Auburn's chief engineer, designed its 160 horsepower Lycoming V12 engine. The car was very advanced for its day, yet it was quite reasonably priced at $1,425. It featured Auburn's newly developed Columbia 2-speed differential, which effectively gave the car six forward speeds as well as cockpit-adjustable shock absorbers and a Startix system that automatically restarted the engine if it stalled. In 1932 Auburn built 37 speedsters, and this is one of just six known to survive. This car's history can be traced back to the late 1950s, but it has recently been restored.
At the tender age of fifteen Errett Lobban Cord, commonly known as E.L. Cord, left school in pursuit of a job as a car salesman. After a successful stint in that profession he began working as a mechanic in a service station located in Los Angeles. This led to modifying his Model T's to include bodywork and engine modifications. He later moved to Chicago where he went back to selling vehicles. He moved to Milwaukee where he opened his own car distributor company and by 1924 was looking to purchase his own manufacturing company.
When the Auburn Automobile Company prompted Cord with a top level management position, he accepted but under conditions. He demanded that he be given 20% of the profits and complete control of the company. He also stated that he wanted the option to buy the company once it recovered. The partners, at this point, were on the verge of bankruptcy, so they accepted the offer.
Cord had a profound knowledge of marketing and was very business savvy. During his career he purchased Duesenberg, cab companies, Aircraft Company, and a New York shipyard. By 1932 he purchased controlling interests in the Aviation Corp, which later became American Airways and is currently known as American Airlines.
His fortunes turned during the mid-1930's as the stock market crashed and the Great Depression brought many of his business to a bitter end.
The Auburn Company had turned a considerable profit during the 1920s but keeping up with the changing market was difficult. The cylinder wars of the early 1930s sent many companies struggling to keep up with the changing technology and mechanical advancements. Auburn answered this challenge in 1932 with the creation of their twelve-cylinder engine in 'Vee' configuration. To stimulate even more interest, the 12-160A was offered at an incredibly low price, at just under a thousand dollars. At that price it has remained in history as the lowest 12-cylinder vehicle ever produced. Many people feared that the quality of the engine or the vehicle was reflective of the price. This mindset backfired and as a result did not sell as well as intended. By years end the company had lost more than a million dollars.
The 6.5-liter Lycoming engine produced a respectable 160 horsepower and enough torque to propel the vehicle to around 100 mph. One of the most ingenious components of the vehicle was the 'Dual Ratio' differential which was operated by a dashboard lever. There were high and low ratios available for each of the three gears which improved fuel and oil consumption. The end result was less strain and wear-and-tare on the engine.
Cord had encountered problems with the Securities and Exchange Commission and fled to England in 1933. Harold Ames was left in control, though times were difficult since production had fallen nearly 85%. The 12-161A was introduced in 1933 though never achieved the desired success. The Great depression, struggling economy, and near-bankrupt company were part of the problems.
The Auburn 12-160A Speedster body was the most exclusive of the offering. With its low price tag, the vehicles were a bargain. Tough times and consumer fears were its ultimate demise and its potential was never realized.

An exceptional value for their day, the Auburn was the least expensive marque in the Cord Empire that also comprised Duesenberg. Priced at $1,250, the Auburn was a spectacular value for a twelve-cylinder automobile. From 1927 to 1938 the Auburn/Cord/Duesenberg Company manufactured hand-built custom vehicles of the highest quality in Auburn Indiana. Rated at 160 horsepower, the 1932 Auburn 12-160A featured a twelve-cylindered Lycoming engine. The car weighed 4,165 lbs and had a wheelbase measured at 132 inches.
From 1900 through 1937 Auburn was a brand name of United States automobiles. The Auburn Company was grown out of the Eckhard Carriage Company which was started by Charles Eckhart. On an experimental basis, Eckhart's sons, Morris and Frank began building vehicles before entering the business in earnest. In 1909 they moved into a larger plant. Modestly successful, the company did well until World War I forced the plant to close due to material shortages.
A touring car model, the 1904 Auburn was equipped with a tonneau that could seat 2 or 4 passengers. The touring was priced at $1000. Producing 10 hp (7.5 kW) the flat-mounted single-cylinder engine was placed in the center of the vehicle. Weighing 1500 lbs, the angle-steel-framed vehicle used half-elliptical spring and was fitted with a 2-speed planetary transmission.
The Eckhart brothers sold their company to a group out of Chicago investors in 1919 headed by Ralph Austin Bard. Though the business was revived, the new owners failed to produce the profits that they had hoped for. The new owners approached Errett Cord in 1924, a successful automobile salesman, with an offer to run the company. In an offer that amounted to a leveraged buyout, the Chicago group accepted the offer.
Before the end of 1925 Cord completed his buyout and aggressively marketed the company's unsold inventory. In 1926, Cord partnered with Duesenberg Corporation and used it as the launching platform for a line of high-priced luxury cars. Cord built vehicles that became famous both their advanced engineering and their striking experience. He also employed imaginative designers such as Gordon Buehrig and Alan Leamy.
Unfortunately Cord's vehicles were priced too expensively for the Depression-era market and Cord's stock manipulation eventually forced him to give up control of his car companies. Cord was forced to refrain from further violations by injunctions from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He sold his shares from his automobile holding company and in 1937 all production of Auburns, Duesenbergs and Cords ended.
The Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum is now housed in the company's art deco headquarters in Auburn and was made a National Historic Landmark in 2005.
The last few cars that made the Auburn Company famous before it the factory was shut down were the 851 and 852 Speedsters, and the Aubern 12.
The Auburn Twelve was produced in the early 1930's and was designed with innovation, elegance, power, style and speed. The Auburn Model 12 – 165 was introduced in 1933. The 1931 Auburn came with a 127 inch wheelbase, 98HP straight 8, and a long large roomy car that came with a door so wide that rear seat passengers could enter without disturbing those in front. The price was $945. The 1934 Auburn 12 Cabriolet came with a 12-cylinder engine and had wide whitewall tires and wire wheels. The 1934 model also came with an auxillary trunk that was mounted on the back.

A day in the life of WA Regional Drive
23/10/2012 , 7:02 PM by Meghan Woods
Have you ever wondered how a radio program gets made? There's a lot more happening than what you hear on air so I thought I'd make a video to capture some of the behind the scenes action.
There's a lot of preparation that goes into the program and behind the scenes work that listeners may not know about.
We spend most of our day coming up with story ideas, making phone calls, writing scripts and preparing for our three hours on air.
Have a look at the video and join Andrew, Barry and me for a day in the life of WA Regional Drive.

Your Family tree is wrong. Aegon the 5th is the Mad king's grandfather, not his father.
- Bother to read articles before commenting on them: see "Aerys II Targaryen#In the books": "In a minor change from the books, Aerys II is said to be the son of King Aegon V Targaryen, rather than his grandson. His father, Jaehaerys II, appears to have been eliminated from the roll of kings. The reason for this appears to be to simplify the relationship between Maester Aemon - Aegon V's older brother - and the other Targaryens (by making Aemon Daenerys' grand-uncle, rather than great-grand-uncle). " --The Dragon Demands (talk) 04:08, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
Aegon the Unlikely
Does the show or any of its extras in fact mention Aegon being a fourth son of a fourth son and that being a reason why he's called Aegon the Unlikely? I know that in the books Maekaer's eldest son was Daeron but it appears he was written out entirely on the show just like Jaehaerys II. Unless I'm missing something here, it appears all references to Aegon being referred to as Aegon the Unlikely should be moved to the "In the Books" section. Shaneymike (talk) 17:09, February 20, 2016 (UTC)
- Not yet, actually.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 18:30, February 20, 2016 (UTC)
- I'm just wondering if for the sake of clarity the intro should say he was called Aegon the Unlikely because he was the fourth son of a fourth son in the books whereas the show so far has Maekar having three sons, not four. Shaneymike (talk) 19:11, February 20, 2016 (UTC)
- It was cheating a little bit supplementing with book info like that, but they haven't contradicted it yet either. Eh, I abstain.--The Dragon Demands (talk) 19:36, February 20, 2016 (UTC)
- I'll wait and see if anyone else agrees before I change anything. If the writers do at some point officially mention Daeron, son of Maekar, we can always change it back. But again I'll wait and see if anyone else agrees before I do anything with the intro on this page. Shaneymike (talk) 20:26, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

We are about to enter a year that will prove memorable for fourth-generation (4G) technology, or so Strategy Analytics believes. According to the research company, global shipments of LTE-enabled smartphones will soar in 2013, trebling in number compared to the figure recorded in 2012.
Strategy Analytics forecasts that 275 million LTE smartphones will be shipped next year compared to 90.9 million units leaving factories in 2012. Senior analyst Neil Shah said that growth would be spurred by several major markets, namely the US, the UK, Japan, China and South Korea. Network operators in those countries have undertaken aggressive expansion of their 4G infrastructure to cope with exploding demand for mobile broadband. With regard to handset vendors, the vanguard will feature the likes of Apple, Samsung, LG, Nokia, HTC and Motorola, Shah said. His colleague Linda Sui added that the highly valuable LTE smartphone market would eventually lure new players but they should be prepared for ferocious competition. Newcomers will have little chance of success unless they come out with strongly differentiated products with regard to design, price and services.
Strategy Analytics executive director Neil Mawston summarised the prognosis by stating that 2013 would undoubtedly be the year of 4G. Global shipments of LTE smartphones will pass the quarter-billion mark for the first time. Many operators and handset vendors will be bringing out dozens of LTE-enabled models, offering them in many countries across the globe. The LTE market has grown fast to become a very valuable one and operators, service providers, component manufacturers and handset makers cannot hope to be successful if they ignore it, Mawston stated.

Saturday night I did something I have never done before - make sushi. I have eaten it. A lot. And it is so much easier to make than you would think. (Easy for me to say...I only rolled the items up.) Megan had all of the ingredients, including the best filler in sushi ever -- cream cheese.
My favorite roll is the candy roll (minus avacado, add cream cheese) at In the Raw, so I tried to recreate my own - shrimp, crab, cream cheese. And, if I do say so myself, it totally rocked. I will tell you this, if I could do it anyone can. I may even try it on my own.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have an outdated will and will be creating a Living Trust. I assume I won't need to update my will. Is that a correct assumption?
That is technically a correct assumption and the attorney who drafts your estate plan can go over it in more detail with you. Usually when someone creates a trust it supercedes all previous estate planning documents. I assume your current will details what you want to happen with your estate and who you want to be in control of it. The new trust will do that as well thereby making that will obsolete. That said, most estate plans include a pour-over will. This will usually does not have any specific bequests in it, but simply names an executor and states that the property will be distributed to the trustee of the trust to be distributed pursuant to the terms of the trust. This document is done so that if something is not properly funded into your trust and must go through probate, that will can be probated but the items will end up back in your trust and distributed under the terms of your trust. Hope this helps.Ask a similar question
While it is true that anything in a living trust will pass outside of the probate process, it is generally a good idea to have a Will that leaves any assets remaining in the estate to the Trust. Sometimes an asset doesn't get transferred, which may require probate. In the absence of an updated Will, or any Will, that asset would not necessarilly go where you wanted it to go.Ask a similar question
No. Even if you have a fully funded trust, you should still have a will in case something is missed or probate is needed for some other reason. If you restate your trust, you should update your Will to mention the restated trust. Also, be sure your executor is still who you would want.
The general advice above does not constitute an attorney-client relationship: you haven't hired me or my firm or given me confidential information by posting on this public forum, and my answer on this public forum does not constitute attorney-client advice. IRS Circular 230 Disclosure: In order to comply with requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Service, we inform you that any U.S. tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) is not intended to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing, or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.

Disclaimer: The materials provided below are informational and should not be relied upon as legal advice.
As my colleagues properly point out, it would behoove you to prepare a "pour-over" will along with your living trust. This way, any items in your estate not directly placed in your living trust will be poured over into the trust. Be sure to consult your own attorney to protect your legal rights.Ask a similar question
The attorney who drafts your revocable living trust will also draft a pourover will, which will supercede your existing will.Ask a similar question
I agree with you, but i get the impression this person is trying to draft his own trust. I hope that he gives up on that idea and comes to see you instead.
Most all trusts are created with "pour over" wills.
They leave everything to your trust that you failed
to retitle in the trust name and also handle personal
items like jewelry.

Man sentenced for stealing Road Commission for Montcalm County truck
STANTON — A man was sentenced to jail time Thursday after stealing a vehicle from the Road Commission for Montcalm County and then fleeing Michigan almost eight years ago.
Anthony Weir, 28, was charged with unlawfully driving away an automobile, malicious destruction of property more than $1,000 and malicious destruction of property to gates and fences. He pleaded guilty to unlawfully driving away an automobile.
Weir was sentenced Thursday to 10 months in the Montcalm County Jail with credit for 75 days already served, five years probation, 150 hours of community service and $4,292.70 in restitution to the Road Commission for Montcalm County.
Weir was 21 years old when he stole a Ford F-150 pickup truck from Road Commission for Montcalm County in Stanton the night of Aug. 24, 2004. He drove the vehicle through a fence to escape. Neighbors saw the truck parked in front of Weir's Fenwick home and called the police. The hood, windshield and top of the truck were damaged.
Weir fled Michigan and lived in Oregon and Nevada before returning to his mother's home in Michigan, where he was apprehended.
8th Judicial Circuit Court Judge David Hoort was going to send Weir to prison instead of jail, but changed his mind after speaking with probation officers.
"You are fortunate that you are not on your way to prison," the judge told Weir.
