Two and a half years ago I was sitting, bleary eyed, on my sofa, waiting for the appropriate hour to wake and feed my then six month old daughter. I was watching an ITV documentary on the UK pension situation which demonstrated how most of the country would be virtually penniless once they reached retirement age. Whether it was the tiredness or the growing hopelessness of the impending crisis, from somewhere came a flash of inspiration. I finally had my idea for the novel I always told myself I would write.
All this time later, I have finally finished my first draft. It's been difficult finding the time but I've done it. The novel – provisionally titled 'Entropy' – is a piece of speculative fiction, set in the near future (2048 to be precise). A future where the fledgling issues of today – unfunded pensions, world over-population, food shortages – have become very real nightmares.
The first draft of Chapter One is below. Note that it does contain some profanity so please don't read if you are of a sensitive disposition. All constructive feedback appreciated – either through comments or direct reply.
Chapter One
Dylan Sharkey stepped off the train at Clapham Junction.
A lovely evening to fuck up your life he reflected as he forced his way past the motley collection of pan handlers, pushers and prostitutes that loitered around the platform looking to score business of one sort or another.
He knew the script in these places. Ramming his fists deep into his pocket, gripping tightly on his possessions to keep them from probing hands, Dylan dipped his head down to avoid any eye contact. He pushed his way towards the faded yellow exit sign hanging over a battered, decaying staircase. He descended warily, clocking that his path was being tracked by a pair of pleading blue-grey eyes at the bottom of the stairs. The eyes were attached to puddle of rags; a collapsed wretch writhing amongst the tatters. A man probably no older than he was but whose face bore the ravages of a life driven to exhaustion through the constant battle for daily survival. A man broken by the relentless march towards the new world order, left scrabbling amongst humanities' putrid swill for the sustenance to prolong his life that one extra, meaningless day.
"Help a dying feeb out" The beggar revealed his bleeding, ulcerated gums perforated only by the occasional black or yellow stump protruding through the pulp. Dylan swiftly returned his gaze feetwards and strode onwards, not stopping to look back until he had finally passed out of the station's maelstrom and out into the fresher air and relative calm of Battersea's historic centre.
He was well aware of "The Junction" and it's wayward, villainous reputation. Friends and associates who claimed knowledge on these matters had regaled him with their myths of whoring salary men and drug addled students on their way home to faithful wives and mothers in Brighton, Wimbledon or other such bastions of dullest suburbia. The tales always began with the lustful fool slinking off the train at Clapham and would end with abduction and body parts being sold off to various organ trafficking mafias. Dylan had never believed these fanciful fictions but now, as the pit of his stomach began to twitch like billy-o, he wasn't so sure.
Looking around, he tried to recall the route he had spent all afternoon memorising. He daren't expose himself as a Junction virgin so he casually leant against the nearest wall and scanned the vicinity. He took in the various drinking hostelries. Filled with local wide boys and the outsiders who had congregated to indulge in their vice of choice. The constant hum of laughter and revelry seeped out over the cracked and potholed streets, the soundtrack to a good evening's debauchery. Interspersed with these booze dens he noted the rotting, boarded up shopping units. Their best days were long gone, now fit only for those so doped out of their faces they were oblivious to the mould spores clinging to their lungs, sucking their very existence from them.
After a minute of trying to look inconspicuous whilst scoping the place out he finally caught sight of the landmark he was searching for. A decaying, Victorian era clock tower perched on top of a dilapidated red-brick building. It appeared to have been at one time a reputable retail palace. Whilst the masonry was crumbling and the walls bore the name of every local scrote who walked by with a penknife or a can of spray paint, the building, even now, retained a trace of the majesty that it once commanded. It's distinguished curves swept around the intersection and the original company crest gazed down from the top of the building. A&H – Arding and Hobbs.
As he mentally charted his course and set off up the hill, Dylan wondered what Mr. Arding and Mr. Hobbs would make of the area nowadays.
The mugging would no doubt be bad for business. But at least the boozing and the tarts would be fun.
He knew he couldn't dawdle. He made his way past the bored youths casually booting stray debris up one end of the street and then back again. Past the inebriated businessmen phoning their wives. Past the fading advertising hoardings promoting beer brands that no longer existed. Past the handsome, lichen covered yellow brick houses which were once home to the stockbrokers, lawyers and bankers of decent London society but now housed only the rejecters of that society – the dope-addled artists, the pimps, the pusher men. Up towards his doom. Up towards the Common.
He knew he was getting closer as the houses shifted from being largely occupied to mainly derelict: Flats built only twenty five years ago abandoned and left to the mercy of vandals and any would-be squatters who had so far avoided the pleasure of meeting the Metropolitan Police's Vagrant Protection Squad. Georgian townhouses long since burnt out stood forlornly, soot still ringing their windows like panda eyes. The dregs of the Junction didn't even seem bothered enough to hustle up this way. The only evidence of human activity was the kids scampering up and down the piles of rubble that scattered the landscape, using them as their own personal ammo dumps.
Innocent little buggers. Haven't learnt the penalties for getting caught in this sort of caper yet.
The thought stopped Dylan dead in his tracks. Oh shit, shit, shit.
It set off a chain reaction of alarm in his head.
How could I be so stupid, walking all the way up here with my commy still in my pocket?
He couldn't afford to be caught going where he was going. He did as an abrupt volte face and started marching right back down the hill, his mind buzzing with potential ways to cover his tracks.
Dylan remembered that he had passed an abandoned corner shop – next to a pub – about half a K back. That was probably far enough away for his purposes. He sauntered in its direction, slowing his pace as he approached in order to scan the locality and make sure no-one was clocking his game. He had planned to do something like this but the adrenalin that was coursing round his system had made him disregard the most basic counter-surveillance precautions. If he could plant the phone as near to the pub as possible he could claim he'd gone in for a beer with a pal. Still not a great place to be caught visiting if they ran a location check but infinitely more defendable than what he was actually about to do.
He waited until a couple of ratty looking teenagers had entered the pub, leaving the coast clear. He sidled furtively up to the derelict structure and hurriedly vaulted over the neighbouring wall. This allowed him to slip unobserved around the back of the property and make his way to the rear. Approaching the door – despite the general air of decay around the place it looked surprisingly sturdy – he scoped a scattering of used syringes littering the floor.
I hope there are no junkies here, he cursed to himself, I fucking hate junkies.
Dylan had had more than his fair share of run-ins with dope fiends on his way back from a night out Usually they just consisted of mumbled threats and garbled demands for money but they had occasionally turned violent. His general policy was to leg it if they said so much as bonjour to him. He wasn't sure that would work here if they caught him red-handed in their den though. He pushed on the door and was gratified to discover that the locks were frailer than they had originally looked.
It was a stinking pit of despair. The stench of damp cabbage mingled with burnt tar hung in the air. The bare wooden floor was strewn with corroded drug paraphernalia. In amongst the hypodermic needles lay rusted old empty cans that once contained spam, beans or soup but now only held the residue of whatever narcotic the resident hophead had been able to beg, borrow or steal. Dylan carefully avoided their jagged, rusty edges as he took his first tentative steps into the gloomy hollow.
There didn't seem to be any evidence of recent habitation so Dylan felt more confident as he made his way further inside, swerving past an old shop counter that had more recently served as a place to cook up whatever shit was the special of the day. The muffled roars of violence and ritual bottle smashing told him which was the connecting wall to the pub. He picked his way there round the burnt out fires, scuttling earwigs and blood stained rags.
Another quiet night out in the Junction
His eyes searched for a place to stash the device that would betray him. Spying a rotten, loose, floor board below his feet he bent down, flicked away the beetle that was meandering across it and slowly began to pry it upwards.
A soft creak caused him to freeze. Was that movement upstairs? Was the place full of coked up maniacs ready to butcher an intruder on their patch? He strained his ears for more evidence. Maybe it was just one of the ubiquitous diseased mongrels that roamed the scummier areas of London and had happened to make this hovel its home. Either way he wasn't going to stick around and find out. He shunted his commy under the disintegrating floorboard and bolted back out of the door from whence he came.
The fear was beating in his belly, his heart pounding so fast that his natural caution was overruled. Jump that fucking wall, leg it across the road spraying shit behind you, round the corner, up the hill and keep going. Keep going until no fucker can see you. Until no bastard can rob you, drag you into a dark alley, batter you, murder you and dump you in a burnt out house for the winos to find.
He finally stopped, shattered, against the side of one of the burnt out end-of-terrace houses. He hunched double, the vomit rising up his throat, and struggled to catch his breath.
After two minutes he had calmed down sufficiently for a modicum of clarity to have returned. Idiot, he admonished himself. You were hearing things, there was no bugger there. Now you've probably been spotted leaving the house by every two bit grafter in the Junction.
The thought of getting clocked by boozed up hustlers didn't bother him unduly. He was moving too fast for them to recognise him and they probably didn't care anyway. Skittish looking men fleeing from something were an everyday occurrence in the Junction. What bothered him more was the thought that he had been spied by one of the local Citizen Information Officers.
The police force were so under resourced they relied on a network of appointed citizen spies to help them identify and catch 'enemies of the state'. Albie's army as they were also dubbed – after Jodwell Alberforce, the minister who had conceived and established the concept – were not fair and free minded citizens doing their bit for the good of society. Rather they tended to be lonely, hateful individuals who fed off the pain of those they helped lead to the gallows. Ironically, the had proven utterly useless at preventing the relentless flood of petty criminality that infested neighbourhoods like the Junction. That didn't make anyone any money. There was no glory to be had by the police for picking up vandals, burglars and brawlers so they didn't pay out bonuses for anything as inconsequential as that. Instead, the big bucks were to be made shopping those who had contravened, or looked like they may some day possibly contravene, one of the core 'societal directives'. The scum who would undermine the health and security of our great nation and betray us all.
Dylan's friend Higgins despised them and actively encouraged vigilante revenge missions against those who had been responsible for "innocent" men being carted away to one of the new correctional facilities that had been built in the middle of the Dartmoor or the Highlands. He ran an underground website dedicated to exposing the identity of as many of them as possible.
Whilst Dylan had previously found 'The Army' merely distasteful, it was only now that he truly began to share Higgins's rabid revulsion. He wasn't an enemy of the state was he?
So why am I petrified of being gripped?
What to do now? In his mind there was only one thing he could do. He'd come here to see Shady and he was damn well going to do that.
Dusk was starting to fall as he skulked back up the hill, tracing the exact route that he know avoided the security cameras that were strategically positioned at each corner of the common. The underweb chatter was that only 5% of cameras actually worked but he wasn't going to take any chances.
As he reached the top of the mount he was hit by the sight of the phenomenon that he'd always heard whispers about. The situation was never mentioned by the official channels and he'd never felt the need to validate the rumours himself. Now he saw it with his own eyes, the vast scale of it took his breath away.
An ocean of cobalt blue tarpaulin billowed out across the common. Hitched to the nearest tree, post or makeshift stave, the canvas covered the entire expanse where grass once grew, creating thousands of jury rigged shelters for the dispossessed wretches within.
The feebs. Rejects from society forced to eke out an existence in this most desperate of environments.
The acrid smell of burning plastic reached Dylan on the soft wind. Plumes of jet black smoke meandered upwards into the darkening twilight air. The wind started to whip up with slightly greater strength, causing the tarpaulins to flap around helplessly. The place looked like one robust gust would flatten it for good.
Dylan hoped that he hadn't changed his life irreversibly, that there was a path back from what he was about to do. He scanned around, locating a suitable flap with which to enter the canvas maze, glanced up to the heavens, took a deep breath and slipped inside.

Many of these Finnish bands have extensive musical training from their schools. Notice how these bands have expert control over melody AND harmony. Plus they're pretty good at key changes as well as time changes. They know what they are doing musically.
I suppose that also sums up my thoughts on the album.
@ST33L: They probably look like that because maybe Finland's not as polluted as the U.S. is? I don't know; I'm just goofing around.

Very nice room, beatifully designed
The rooms and aircon was very good also the restaurant in the evening was very good. The breakfast was typical Italian,not much choice and even no fresh espresso!It came out of a tourist machine!! No danish in a four star place?the restaurant could do better with Fresh OJ and fresh baked eggs and bread.
new rooms, interesting design, good food, nice landscape arround, good price. We will come back.
Staff and restaurant was great Internet was poor and seemed to block basic sites like web based email. Hotel was hard to find even with navigation system in car
Bedrooms are spacious and fairly clean. Excellent, prompt, dependable staff and reception desk. Air conditioning works very well, and there is a minifridge in the room. The beds are comfortable. Other reviewers commented on the noisiness of the passing train; in my room with the windows closed it sounded like faraway thunder, and wasn't loud enough to wake me up (and I wake up with almost any noise). Location is very bad. It is on a secluded road without any restaurants or shops nearby. Must drive, or take a taxi or a train to get into Rovereto or other nearby towns. On closer inspection, the sheets and towels were not very clean, though the rest of the room was impeccable. The hotel restaurant has high-quality food, but it is predictably more expensive than comparable restaurants in town.
It was one of the very few hotels that offered accomodation for a family at a reasonable price. The Hotel was fine but the whole town shuts at 2100 so if you are eating out, eat early!
Very good Any restaurant and bar
the cleaning services were good there is no bar at the lobby, the wi fi was very bad.
Good location This hotel looks better than it is. Strange smell in bathroom from air con, worst coffee I have ever tasted, staff helped but were distant.
It gave the impression of luxury, was interesting in design, and friendly. There was no Bar in the Hotel, or restaurant, which meant we spent nearly 200 euros in the Hotel down the road.
It is close to the train station, the service in general is good. Some of the people (not all) working there are kind of descriminatory to people from other countries.
very good quality environment and friendly staff. Very good buffet breakfast.
The friendliness and helpfulness of the hotel staff. They even booked an appointment for our dog. This is our 3rd stay at this hotel and will not be the last. Not applicable
Staff Internet WIFI is quite expensive but first hour is free
New smartly refurbished frontage and foyer, staff very pleasant, rooms fresh and clean and excellent buffet breakfast
Quality of hotel & very helpful staff
Very nice hotel with excellent service. I would gladly stay here again.
the location right in the center and the restaurant
Location. It is near the train station and on the main street of Rovereto. The hotel is family run and is very clean and the staff for the most part is very helpful. I have stayed here before and the breakfast this time was not as good as the last time we stayed.
The booking process was absolutely excellent. I phoned on a Sunday and had no problem getting through to Active Hotels. I was given superb guidance, the man whom I booked the hotels with with even helped me choose the best stop over places. As I was driving from uk to Greece his help was so valuable. I had 2 dogs with me, the man at Active Hotels made finding a dog-accepting hotel so easy. Would throughly recommend Active Hotels, every stop over was excellent, thank-you.
A nice hotel in centre of Roveretto. the room and evening meal were very nice. We even had tea/coffee making facilities
Very good and comfortable. Exceptional value for money. Quiet, clean, well furnished. Perfectly staff. Nothing to complaint
The staff at reception were very helpful and very friendly. The hotel had free coffee in the lobby with the latest magazines ( pity I couldn't read italian). An easy 150 metre to the train station on smooth pavements so easy to pull a suitcase. Close to shops, supermarket, museum, Everything in easy walking distance. Breakfast not included in the rate but I knew this when I booked.
Nice centrally located hotel. Poor equipped mini-bar. Coffee wasn�t what I expected. Wlan expensive.
The convenience of the location and the evening disco for the children. I was rather upset when leaving as I was aked to pay 200 euro for the room rather than the 120 euro booking price. I was charged an extra 80 euros for my two small children even though extra beds were not necessary as the room slept 4 people. My firend with the same room booking and two older children was not asked to pay an additonal fee.

UVic Holds Open Houses For CARSA/Parkade
Series of open houses launches widespread process
The University of Victoria will be reaching out to the surrounding community and seeking input over the next four months on its proposed Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities (CARSA) and related parkade. The process follows recommendations in the Better Neighbours report commissioned by UVic from community engagement and municipal planning firm HB Lanarc - Golder to evaluate concerns regarding previous consultation efforts for CARSA.
"We recognize that our neighbours and surrounding communities have concerns about specific aspects of the CARSA project," says Kristi Simpson, UVic's associate vice president responsible for campus planning. "We will offer community members several opportunities to learn more about and provide feedback on the project and to discuss traffic management concerns, and we will share additional information about new design options for the parkade. Connecting with and hearing from the communities around the university and those who will use CARSA are of utmost importance to UVic."
Members of the public are invited to submit feedback at any of the upcoming interactive 'drop in' open houses:
|March 8, 2012,
Lambrick Park Secondary
4139 Torquay Drive
5 to 8 p.m.
|March 10, 2012,
St. Aidan's United
3703 St. Aidan's Street
12 to 3 p.m.
|March 14, 2012,
2494 Arbutus Road
4 to 8 p.m.
After the open houses are complete, if you have not had a chance to attend, you will be able to provide your feedback online at www.uvic.ca/carsa.
"We're committed to a meaningful consultation process and look forward to hearing input and sharing information with the community over the next several months," says Simpson. "This process will also help us develop a consultation framework for future campus planning and development projects."
UVic will use the input gathered during the March open houses and online to prepare a revised design for the parkade that will be presented at a second series of open houses planned for May.
For more information on the CARSA project, please visit the website at www.uvic.ca/carsa.
Kristi Simpson is available between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. Feb. 22. Please contact Patty Pitts (UVic Communications) at 250-721-7656 or firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange an interview.

UMAG, Croatia, July 25 (Reuters) Romania's Andrei Pavel ground out a surprise 7-6 7-5 victory over Croatia number one and third seed Ivan Ljubicic in the first round of the Croatian Open today.
After narrowly losing the first set of the match that finished well past midnight after the programme was disrupted by rain, Ljubicic took a 3-1 lead in the second set and the contest appeared to be heading for a decider.
However, too many unforced errors enabled the 33-year old Pavel to break back twice and clinch a place in the second round.
Ljubicic is the second leading player to be eliminated in the first round, joining second seed Nikolay Davydenko of Russia on the sidelines.
Yesterday, four seeds -- four-times winner here Carlos Moya of Spain, his compatriot David Ferrer, Guillermo Canas of Argentina and Italy's Filippo Volandri -- secured their places in the second round.
Top seed and last year's runner-up Serb Novak Djokovic will face compatriot Viktor Troicki later today for a spot in the quarter-finals.

Today I did a compression test and results are NOT GOOD!!!
-the left side of engine was fine(cylinders 2,4) at 160 lbs each
-but the right side, cylinder 1, was at 80 lbs and cylinder 3 at 165lbs, which is fine.
-I noticed the condition on the outside of the right side of the engine(cylinders 1,3) was a lot dirtier, like with oil and dirt, BUT the left side was clean as a whistle...I'm wondering if it might be the headgasket because I'm sure it couldn't be the rings yet nor valves. What do you all think it could be??? My car is burning oil too...during cold start-up and once warm you rev it a little, there is whitish-bluish smoke from the exhaust then it stops once it has warmed up. I would appreciate your help THANKS!!!

"I never thought I'd be sending out so many thank you notes after having a baby. These are great, simple notes that include the baby's picture and signature on the bottom. I get tons of compliments on them. The paper quality is great!"
"I ordered this thank you for my daughters first birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The quality was amazing and everyone just loved them."
"I wasn't sure about this design, I am not a huge fan of everything being pink just because I have a baby girl, however I picked the option for my picture being black and white and it came out so adorable with the pink background. The quality of the paper is great! Very sturdy paper/stationary.I also chose to have our return address put on the envelope and it gave it and elegant look and saved me so much time. I should have ordered more, I only ordered 30 and now there are so many more people I'm thinking I could have sent this to that would've really liked a picture of our daughter rather than a plain thank you card. I wasn't expecting such great quality and such a good looking card so I didn't want to order too many. Now I know what to expect from this company and I will definitely be ordering again!"
"I received many positive comments from recipients. They all mentioned how cute the card was. I would order it again. The cards arrived in good condition and in a timely manner."
"Great card for boy/girl twins! Love the bright colors and the polka dots on the back of the card. A little smaller size than I expected, but still a fun card."

Beryl and I have been getting a CSA box from the good people at Local Roots Farm this summer. Each Tuesday we pick up a big box and digging into it feels a bit like Christmas. We can usually count on some lettuce, but the rest of the box is a surprise. We've gotten purslane, peppers, and purple potatoes, beans, peas, tomatoes and chard. It's an enormous amount of fun and an equally large challenge to get through it, especially given the productivity of our own garden (we're up to our ears in zucchini…). Between the CSA and the garden, we have not been able to get to the farmers market as much as we'd like, and we really only let ourselves go if we've made a respectable dent in the CSA haul by Sunday. So you'll understand why I was so excited last week when we were able to use not only half of the CSA box, but also a host of things from the garden and the cupboard in a single dish! The dish was a Niçoise salad. There are a bunch of recipes floating around the web, so I won't post one here, but I will direct you to a good one at Simply Recipes.
In this single dish, we were able to use the following things from the CSA, garden and cupboard: lemons, shallots (a gift from a friend's farm in CA), thyme, basil, oregano, eggs, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, green beans, olives, capers, and a can of tuna! We always feel so victorious when we have everything on hand for a delicious meal. After all that, it was a bit of a bonus that the salad was delicious, nutritious, and very filling!

Born in Geneva in 1980, Yannick Jacquet lives and works in Brussels, Belgium.
Originally trained as a graphic artist, he now devotes his time to developing a personal language using video and a wealth of projection techniques.
His work is characterised by a desire to break out of the traditional formats of video-projection and finding ways to integrate video into the performance space. These ideas are developed and performed in the form of audiovisual performances, installations and scenography. Often being « in-situ », his works are strongly influenced by questions linked to architecture.
Yannick Jacquet often collaborates with numerous artists, notably with those of the AntiVJ label, of which he's a founding member.

"It's especially hard when you've played four Test matches," said Ganguly, who also played 10 one-dayers.
"I don't think it's fair to change the finals but we can reduce the number of group games."
Australia begin a tour of Sri Lanka on Friday and Ganguly said: "It will be hard work, but Sri Lanka can win."
"They lifted their game but we just didn't perform," he said. "We are tired but that's not an excuse, they played the same amount of cricket as us."
Ganguly complained to Ponting about a comment he received from one of Australia's fielders as he went out to bat but he played down the incident afterwards.
"There was a reason for it, which I don't want to make public. It happened from the time I walked out of the gate until I reached the stumps," he added.
"I'm not upset. I just told [Ponting] I don't want to start it all over again. I told him I don't want to blow it out of proportion."

As close to perfect as the Packers were at the midpoint of last season – they were 7-1 and running away from the rest of the NFC North – they're a team dotted with blemishes as they get ready to play division rival Minnesota in game No. 9 for the third straight year.
They can't stop the run. They've had trouble running the football. Early-season injuries took a toll. They've had more failure than success in games that go down to the wire.
Head coach Mike McCarthy didn't mince words Wednesday when he was asked where he thought his team was with half of the 16-game schedule complete.
"Where do I think we are? I don't want to be rude, but we're 4-4," McCarthy said. "We're 4-4 for a reason. We haven't made plays in critical times of football games. We've been competitive in every outing this year. We've had opportunities to win those games. We did not."
"It's the details," he added, pointing to a 19-16 overtime loss at the unbeaten Tennessee Titans on Sunday. "[It's a] very good description of the things we need to do to win tight games. We have to win the close, tight games. We haven't done that this year."
Considering 11 of the last 12 meetings between the Packers and the Vikings have been decided by no more than seven points, Sunday's matchup at the Metrodome in Minneapolis would be a good time to start getting things turned around.
The Packers know they can't afford another letdown, what with them locked in a second-place tie with Minnesota in the division. Both teams trail the front-running Chicago Bears by a game, and the Packers have a home game against the Bears around the bend Nov. 16.
"As a team, we're just hungry to get better," Packers nose tackle Ryan Pickett said. "We're not happy with our record. We feel like we're much better than a 4-4 team. It's not a good place for us. So, we're definitely going to come out and try to win this game."
Pickett called it the most important game of the season, which perhaps was overstated in that seven more weeks of football will be left to play.
Tight end Donald Lee stopped short of saying the Packers are in must-win territory right now, as they try to regain their hold on the NFC North.
"I wouldn't say must, but it's very important that we do win the game," Lee said. "We want to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. This is a step toward that."
The Packers won't be taken seriously as a challenger for NFC supremacy, never mind the league title, until they iron out the deficiencies that have plagued them to this point.
Their run defense ranks 27th in the 32-team loop, allowing an average of 146.4 yards per game. Now Green Bay will have to deal with Minnesota's Adrian Peterson, the No. 2 rusher in the league.
"The reality is they've got a great running offense, [and] we've got a great opportunity to get better this week," Packers defensive end Aaron Kampman said. "I feel like we can play great run defense. We've proven it, even this season. We just have to become more consistent, and that's our focus."
Thankfully for Green Bay's offense, a mostly solid first half of the season by Aaron Rodgers in his first year as a starting quarterback at the pro level enabled the unit to overcome a sluggish running game. Ryan Grant's production has picked up the last few games, but the Packers rank 21st in the league with an average of 101.1 rushing yards per outing.
"He's a fine young quarterback," McCarthy said of Rodgers. "I say it over and over again, the beauty of Aaron is he's going to get better. I believe that with my heart. I believe that with my eyes. He's going to continue to get better."
Rodgers certainly isn't a polished leader of the offense, and he was reminded of that when McCarthy came down on his shaky decision making in the recent game against the Titans. The Packers scored only one touchdown in four red-zone visits.
"You can't get down there, you can't have 400 yards of offense and only score 16 points. It's unacceptable," said guard Daryn Colledge, putting the blame on the entire offense.
McCarthy had a simmering fire to douse in the wake of critical comments rookie tight end Jermichael Finley made about Rodgers following the Packers' 19-16 overtime loss at the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Finley, a third-round draft pick who entered the game with zero catches, was the intended target on two critical incompletions in the first half. Both were touch passes from Rodgers that Finley couldn't reel in – the first on a fourth-and-1 call at the Titans' 44-yard line, and the other on a second-and-goal play from the Tennessee 5 in a drive that ended with only a field goal.
Finley told a reporter after the game that Rodgers "didn't throw it good at all" on the fourth-down pass.
McCarthy took exception to Finley's published comments Monday, then said Wednesday he had a talking-to with the player.
"It's over with," McCarthy said. "So, he made a mistake."
Finley hasn't spoken to the media since Sunday. …
The Packers have had the rival Minnesota Vikings' number of late. Green Bay is riding a five-game winning streak in the series into Minneapolis this weekend for the teams' annual grudge match at the Metrodome.
"There's no real secret formula in this series," Kampman said. "We know each other extremely well. We've played each other, obviously, twice a year. We've seen each other in the playoffs. This is a team that we know very well. They know us very well. So, it's basically come down to execution."
The longest string of dominance by the Packers against Minnesota is six consecutive wins, attained at the outset of the series from 1961-63.
The Vikings own the longest winning streak in the series – a seven-gamer from 1975-78. The streak was stopped by a 10-10 tie in their final meeting of the 1978 season at Green Bay. Minnesota then won the teams' first matchup in 1979, extending its unbeaten run to 8-0-1. …
Colledge didn't get the result he wanted in the presidential election Tuesday.
The avowed Republican was supporting the ticket of John McCain and Sarah Palin, who is the governor of Colledge's home state of Alaska. Democratic rival Barack Obama beat McCain in a landslide vote to win the presidency.
"Anytime you lose a race, it's tough," Colledge said. "But, I think everybody is excited for change. I'm excited to see what [Obama] has. I thought he gave a great speech [Tuesday] night. He seems willing to go out and get the work done. That's what's going to be important."
McCarthy said the election outcome was discussed in a team meeting before practice Wednesday.
"When we hit that topic, everybody clapped and was excited about the future," McCarthy said.

As WikiLeaks faces financial limitations caused by big corporations putting the squeeze on funding, the whistle-blowing site's founder Julian Assange is still dealing with some considerable issues that could threaten his personal freedom—namely, the two allegations of rape and sexual assault that still await him in Sweden.
On Wednesday, Assange lost a round in his fight to avoid extradition to Sweden, but he and his legal team are planning to appeal again, this time taking it all the way to the top of the British legal system. Meanwhile, the BBC helpfully noted in its courtroom report that Assange showed up for the judgment "wearing a smart suit and Remembrance Day poppy," thus satisfying any pressing curiosity about his sartorial choices for the occasion.—KA
Two judges at the High Court in London decided that a previous ruling in favour of extradition must be upheld.
Swedish authorities want him to answer accusations of raping one woman and sexually molesting and coercing another in Stockholm last year.
Mr Assange's lawyers say they will appeal at the Supreme Court.

Well... That was not a good idea..
Alright so a few weeks ago my car was running low on anti-freeze and not knowing BMW made special anti-freeze, just filled my car full of John Deere tractor anti-freeze. Now a few weeks later the computer is telling me my anti-freeze level is low so I called and found out it takes a special kind. So my question is what should I do? Should I stop driving the car and order some BMW to put in it when the anti-freeze comes? Should I drain it then re-fill it with BMW anti-freeze? Should I continue putting John Deere anti-freeze in it? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Woah. No idea what tractor anti freeze is composed of. Google search?
Anyways, does the 7er have an expantion tank? Might be idea to drain that, then refill, then idle the car. If you did that three times, seems like most of it would be gone?
But yeah, no idea what that stuff would do. If it were mine, I'd get it replaced.
Yah these cars are very sensitive and do require their own antifreeze , what i would do if i was you , would be taking it in for a coolant service by a BMW dealer , $200 bucks they will flush and clean all the contamination ( if there is any ) etc and let you know if there's anything wrong . Just my .2c
You may possibly have a bad coolant level sensor. To my knowledge its just a float in the expansion tank that measure coolant levels. Or you may just be low. My .02
I cant see there being a sensor that detects a special compund or ingredient in the coolant so the car can tell if it bmw or other brand.... if there is tho, jeez:tsk:..
and if you dont have a leak... then you are low maybe because there is air in the system? and it appeared full but when turned on the air went to the radiator..
My question is why does it keep getting low....
try filling is with distilled water... that way you arent putting the wrong antifreze in and damaging anything.. plus its probably cheaper:thumbup:...
If it is full still then bad sensor seems probable...
or you can just go to the dealer:mad:

The huge gravy train is disclosed following the Enron scandal which highlighted the alarming lack of independence among many auditors.
And the shock figures will increase fears that accountants' conflicts of interest mean many of them are failing to safeguard the interests of shareholders and pension holders - the very people they should be protecting.
There have already been warnings from major shareholding groups - including the Association of British Insurers and the National Association of Pension Funds, which speak for about two-thirds of the stock market - that they are ready to vote against the reappointment of auditors if they earn too much in consultancy fees.
Figures from the buyingTeam consultancy show that, far from reducing the sums paid to accountants for non-audit work, Britain's 100 largest firms are paying more than ever.
In 1998, auditors earned 1.6 times as much from consultancy as they did from audit fees from the FTSE 100 companies. Last year, that gap widened to 3.13 times. BSkyB was the biggest spender, paying 23 times more on consultancy to its auditor, the stricken Arthur Andersen.
The biggest single non-audit fee was £45m paid by Unilever, though the consumer goods giant says it will review future payments.
And Financial Mail can reveal that BT is facing a shareholder revolt over massive consultancy fees paid by the telecoms group to its auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers. BT's annual report shows that it spent ten times more on consultancy from PWC than it did on auditing. PWC was paid £2.7m for signing off BT's accounts in the year to March, but collected £22.7m on non-audit items. These included £14.2m for fees relating to BT's record-breaking £5.6bn rights issue last year and demerging its mobile phone division, mmO2. PWC was also paid £2.6m for systems advice and £2.2m for 'other' consultancy services.
The National Association of Pension Funds said it was alerting institutions about companies that pay accountants more for non-audit work than for auditing the accounts.
With PWC up for reappointment at BT's annual meeting next month, the company will be forced to justify the spending to its biggest shareholders. One leading institution said: 'Chairman Sir Christopher Bland pleased many shareholders when he said BT should no longer be a machine for generating investment bankers' fee income - perhaps he should have mentioned accountants, too.'
BT said it had tried to make its disclosure 'totally transparent'. A spokesman said: 'It should also be noted that the largest figures came from work that is clearly nonrecurring. We aren't going to be demerging mmO2 again.'
BT is causing particular concern because its non-audit spending with PWC has rocketed in the past three years. In 1999, BT paid the accountants £2.5m for auditing out of a total spend of £10.7m. By 2001 the audit fee was £3.7m and the non-audit fees were £16.2m.
Matthew Eatough, managing director of buyingTeam, said: 'There is now clearly a market failure in the provision of accounting services. With 93% of companies in the FTSE All-Share index audited by what is now the Big Four, executives and shareholders simply do not have sufficient choice.
'The balance of power has shifted from the purchasers - ultimately the shareholders - to the providers, leaving the shareholders more exposed than ever.'
Only seven FTSE companies have changed their auditors over the past decade. According to data from buyingTeam, three of those appointed accountants where their chief executive or finance director had been a partner.
The Enron affair, where audit partners had moved from Andersen to join the company, highlighted the risks of such close connections.Reuse content

I crimp all my reloads if it is any help.

I had a Lyman press sitting around for about a year, and finally remembered to buy dies for it.
The dies I got are Lee .45acp. There are four dies, but the instructions only cover three.
I have the first three (decapping, flaring, seating) set up to specifications.
The fourth I cannot find much about. From what I can find on the Web, it's "factory crimp die" or something of the sort.
Nobody seems to agree as to whether it's needed on the .45acp.
I am not reloading for anything except practice ammo.
Do I need this fourth die? If not, I'll put it back up. If I do, does anyone have instructions on how to set it up?
Thank you,
Josh <><
P.S. I have manuals on order, and will not go past the depriming process until I have them in hand and have read them. In fact, I am intentionally holding off on powder so that I'm not tempted to do this! No worries there. Thanks. J.S.

It is probably a factory crimp die. There should be instructions included with the die set. While the 3 die set will cetainly load decent ammo, you would be well advised to go ahead and make the extra effort and use the factory crimp die also.
Thanks folks.
No setup instructions with the set, but I got 'em elsewhere.
I appreciate it.
Josh <><
I don't use the factory crimp with my 45,didn't come with one and my loads come out perfect,if you do use it when your reloader is at the top of the stroke with a loaded case in position after seating a bullet turn the die down til it stops, then lower the press and turn die another 1/2 turn that should be about right
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
I have bought and use the factory crimp die on both my .45 and .9mm. Especially with lead bullet rounds it eliminates malfunctions due to slightly oversize rounds. If the loaded round will go into either a max cartridge gage or min chamber gage, you are OK.
Before I used it I had malfunctions that were a result of slightly out of tolerance size rounds. I would not be without it.
I had problems with that procedure on my .44 rounds with 240gr plated bullets. 2-3 light taps on the base against a hard surface would cause significant setback, so I had to tighten the crimp some more, a lot more. This might be due to the softness of the plating vs. a jacketed round in the heavier bullets. Had a bit of the same with the 180gr .40 cal but it only took maybe another 1/4 turn. With the increased crimp, I had to adjust the seating depth a little deeper because the tight crimp would increase the OAL.
Just something to think about.

this Lyman die. I know that Berry specifically warns against using a heavy roll crimp on their bullets:Is separation a problem with Plated Bullets?Since the taper crimp compresses more of the length of the case and not just the case mouth, you should be able to get a solid crimp without damaging the plating on the bullet.
Separation is very rare. Two things can cause a jacket to separate from the lead core: excessive speeds (magnum velocities) and a real tight roll crimp (cuts through the plating). If you'll keep these two items in check you shouldn't have a problem with bullet separation.

One of the big things The Lee FC die does it will post size your final round taking it back to SAAMI specs, this can be good or bad depending. Good if you have a tight chamber, bad if you intentionally want slightly oversized rounds to match a larger throat. It also will be sure to fit any chamber in anybody weapon.
I use mine, as when I go shooting, I furnish ammo to my buddies, and want to be sure it will fit their gun. But I have also in the past 30 years loaded thousands of rounds with out it with no problems, So it is kinda your call.

One problem I've found with the FC die is on rifle brass you need to make sure all your brass is sized the same length,if you adjust it and end up getting a little longer case than the one it's adjusted for it will crush the case down causing a bulge,same thing as if you tighten it to much when setting it up.If you resize pistol cases but after loading them they won't feed in the chamber It's probably because you have your die set to deep causing the case to bulge out a little,back the die out until it holds the bullet securely and your case will slide in and out of the pistol chamber smoothly

I always crimp my ammo but that is mainly because they are used for competition. If I do not crimp them about half will not fit in a case gauge and are likely to give me troubles in an after market barrel. I would say do it since it does not take much time and there is nothing more frustrating than getting to the range and having half your ammo not go into battery due to case size.

Horsburgh Island
Horsburgh Island (in Malay, Pulo Luar or Pulu Luar) is one of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Its area is 1.04 square kilometres (0.40 square miles). There is a small lagoon in the interior of the island to the northeast.
The Clunies-Ross Family kept deer on the island for hunting. In 1941, during World War II, gun emplacements were installed on the southern point of the island and manned by Ceylonese troops. The Cocos Islands Mutiny began on this island. The Ceylon Garrison Artillery on Horsburgh Island mutinied on the night of 8/9 May 1942, intending to hand the islands over to the Japanese.[1]
This island is named after James Horsburgh, hydrographer to the East India Company and author of the long-titled "Directions for Sailing to and from the East Indies, China, New Holland, Cape of Good Hope, and the interjacent Ports, compiled chiefly from original Journals and Observations made during 21 years' experience in navigating those Seas". Horsburgh's Directory was the standard work for oriental navigation in the first half of the 19th century, until Robert Moresby's survey of the Archipelagoes of the Central Indian Ocean when for the first time in history accurate maps of atolls like Keeling or Cocos were published.

Her intention was to embarrass..clearly. One of the tellers even whispered "I'm sorry" as Cecile was barking out legal nonsense. I have not returned to the bank yet...but have communicated via phone. She has referred me to TD Bank security but refuses to give me their direct contact information and told me to "expect a call"... I have yet to receive such a call.
We have setup new deposit accounts at another local bank in town that was happy to have our business. The manager was happy to have us lawfully carry in the bank. If you have Ocean Bank near you, I would suggest switching... they are primarily a New England bank, I believe.
If it isn't public, they'll just say "hey, who cares about one account". But if they fear others hearing about this and changing, then they might re-consider.
Publicity changes everything.

Have you considered writing a letter to the CEO or Chairman? A respectfully written, clearly typed letter might do wonders. I would consider asking how, as a customer, should you feel about the bank after the treatment you received. I would also ask how can you trust a banking manager who blatently lied to a customer.
While I believe the branch manager was acting in the interest of the branch, her tactics and actions emphasize the need for training and education on the subject.
Not sure if i would ask that question where the bank robbers could hear me.Next time make sure you are available when there is a bank robbery and she and you are both victims.
When she has a gun pointed to her head. Ask her " Now do you wish you hadnt demanded I disarm?"
Unless someone is killed, injured or you are sure one or the other is going to occur, be cool and be the perfect witness.

Just an update. I went in to the branch on Friday afternoon. Cecile was in the lobby and I thought there would be an issue, as I was open carrying again. She was pleasant and courteous - no confrontation. She even said "good to see you here again"...
I suspect the phone calls, emails, and letters worked.
Thank you to those who supported the cause.
that is a good thing. I glad it worked out.
I hope the business you work for has some "strong numbers" in terms of business with that bank. If that's the case, upper management with the bank will tell her to zip her mouth shut rather than lose your business.
If you have the influence to get your business to change banks, I'd likely do that immediately to add an exclamation point to your displeasure with being treated the way you were!

I had a problem like that at the local grocery store. I use to work on a farm and I was getting paid to kill crows so I brought my air gun to shoot them. Well after 7 hours of killing birds you get hungry so I walk into the store got some snack food and walked to the counter to pay and the manager and like 5 workers walk up to me and ask to see my CWP which I then informed them that since it was a air gun and was visabile that I did not have to have a CWP to carry it. Well the sheriff was in the store and they called him over .... 30 mins later after he explained that it wasn't illegal for me to carry a air gun into store and that he knows me and knows that I wouldnt do anything illegal with it. The manager then said I had to leave and that I couldnt even buy my food. So I talked to my parents and we called the main office and talk to some and they made the manager write me a letter of apology and sent me a 100$ gift check. moral of the story fight for your right to bare arms no matter how small they are.

Once this is done, I start Pandora on my phone, and then with the car's radio / head unit, select the "Aux" input source. At this point, the radio should pick up the feed from your phone (be it Pandora, or stored music you have on there) and play it over the speakers.
However, there is a device out there called the Blackberry Media Gateway which can simplify things a bit, allowing you to get Pandora to your car's stereo wirelessly via Bluetooth. (Again, this is if you don't have iDrive). I have one on order, and it should be here in a few days. It should alleviate the need for attaching and unattaching my phone every single time I drive the car.
Now if your car has iDrive, I believe you can stream music directly via bluetooth without the need for gateways or cables, but I don't know how that is accomplished.

From there I became interested in SVG, the open-source scalable vector graphics format which allows line drawings to be zoomed in or out without loss of quality. There's a good site VectorMagic.com which will allow you to convert a limited number of bitmap line drawings into SVG format without needing to install any software.
One of the best I've done is a scalable copy of the WWII "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster, which is in the public domain (no copyright) since Crown Copyright, at the time the post was made, expired after 50 years. Since it can be enlarged without loss of quality, it is suitable for reprinting as a poster or a t-shirt, in addition to being used as an icon. I've placed it on Wikimedia Commons and you can download it perfectly legally from:
I've also been looking at games to play on my Asus Eee 901 netbook running Ubuntu-Eee Linux. Last night I perfected my install of classic Quake using ezQuake after I dug out my original v1.01 DOS Quake CD (which, yes, was covered in dust) to obtain the pak1 file. I'd forgotten just what a superb, fast-paced, involving game this is. In particular I'd forgotten how much fun it was exploring the maps to find the various keys needed to progress through locked doors. Since the game runs so fast on modern hardware, you can run from one end of the map to the other without any lagginess, and you never get bored travelling around.
Of course, this meant I needed a classic Quake icon. Ubuntu-Eee comes with a dark background, so the original Quake icon didn't stand out. I added a yellow-ish border to it, and it stands out much better. Available as an SVG here.
Update: Being colour blind, it's possible I've got the background red colour wrong on the Keep Calm poster. If a fully colour-sighted person could give me a corrected HTML RGB code, I'd be very grateful. Currently it is: #F50401

Cop Attacked by Dogs
Two pitbulls are being held at Animal Services for attacking three Alachua police officers. Their owner, Gerard Moore was arrested for not complying with the officers.
Cops say, "once you let a vicious dog loose on a law enforcement officer and the officers have given a lawful command to control your animal, it is legal for them to protect themselves and take your dogs".
Late last night police we're called out to the area of NW 135 terrace. and NW 158 ave. where two men started fighting.
They found one man lying on the ground with minor injuries and located Moore a few blocks away with his dogs. That's when the confrontation with police took place. The owner took the dogs to a stop sign, where he left them, but did not secure them.
Once the officers began taking the suspect into custody, the dogs got loose, started attacking the officers, leaving blood on the streets.
One officer was badly bitten on the thigh and his colleagues were bitten on the arm and the foot. One bite going through the officer's boot. Two officers were able to get one dog into a car and tasered the other to get him off the third officer. The officers were treated and released.
Moore was charged with aggravated battery times three and is being held on one hundred thousand dollar bond. The dogs will be quarantined for ten days.

Lara Davies and Jess Wright of Home-work. Photo – Sean Fennessy.
If the two smiley-faced lasses above look familiar, that's probably Lara Davies and Jess Wright are two of the clever designers and co-founders of Harvest Workroom and Textiles in Brunswick! Since launching Harvest four years ago with co-director Emma Byrnes, this industrious team have done such seriously amazing things – from facilitating a huge variety of craft classes at their Lygon st 'Workroom' space, to hosting residencies with a bunch of amazing Australian artists, and of course, creating their own range of fabulous hand printed products.
Today, we're excited to be the first to announce Lara and Jess's new venture. This month marks the launch of a brand new print project for this talented duo – Home-work!
As with their creative output at Harvest Textiles, everything in the Home-Work range is printed and made in Melbourne, but for the first time Lara and Jess are experimenting with digital printing, giving them incredible scope to create some killer new patterns! 'We are excited to offer a new range that includes digital sublimation printing as well as wide format screen printing. This means that we can FINALLY produce Queen size bedding as well as design with as many colours as we want, all whilst keeping our production in Australia!' says Jess! 'We had heaps of fun designing the new range and meeting lots of talented Melbourne manufacturers'.
Jess and Lara have been working hard over the past few months to design Home-work's debut range, but they do need a little support to get production off the ground. For this reason, today they're launching a Pozible campaign to kick-start their fledgling new business! Do check out the campaign to see their new range of fabulous designs – at present the only way to purchase is by making a pledge via the Pozible campaign. Pledges start at just $10.00, and all pledges are rewarded with various product from Home-Work's debut range. We're also SUPER PUMPED that we'll have a small selection of the range at TDF Open House LATER THIS WEEK!
Lara and Jess have many more projects in the pipeline already for their new label – they have produced a limited edition print for a show called Supermarket at Craft Victoria next month, there are lots of new products in development already for 2014, and they're also planning to open a dedicated retail space for Home-work next year. Go girls go!
Check out the Home-work Pozible campaign and video here.
And in case you were wondering, yes, Harvest Workroom is still operating as usual, with lots of workshops scheduled for the Summer and 2014. The only difference is the girls have moved into a brand new (and seriously HUGE) studio in Brunswick, so there's a new location for all the Harvest workshops. 'Classes have already started in our new space and the students are loving the new studio!' says Lara.

Reform and Welfare Policy: The Contribution of Henrietta Szold
Jewish Communal Service Association of North America (JCSA), December 1981
This article looks at the contributions that Henrietta Szold made to reform and welfare policy. The author states that Szold realized that effective social service must be coupled with legislation. In this sense she reflected the foresight of her American colleagues who placed legislation first on their agenda. Szold argued that "social legislation.. .on the one hand should tend to nullify the need for social service; on the other hand should fortify the social service machinery and the values attained through communal effort." In Journal of Jewish Communal Service, 58:2.

Negative effect. I've had my Canon Powershot S3 1S for over a year now. The other day I was taking pictures and it was working fine. I turn it off and set it down.

2011/12 Never Summer Proto CT 154 for sale
I got this board last year brand new and definitely got my use out of it. I rode backcountry and park on this board the last 2 years. It has one real core shot that is being fixed at the Never Summer factory right now. There are 2 other spots with some P-Tex put into the base. I've found the carbonium top sheet is the toughest top sheet I have ridden. Like I said I rode it hard for 2 years and there is minimal damage to the top sheet. There is no peeling just some scratches on the edges of the top. Since the NS Factory currently has the Proto I don't have any pictures at the time. I should be getting it back with in the next few days and then ill post many pictures. I'm looking for $230 but i'm willing to negotiate. For more information message me.
