Whether or not she was "pure evil" - as the police described her this afternoon - Karen Matthews was undoubtedly a very bad mother. With seven children by five different feckless fathers, all reared amidst chaos, neglect and, it would seem, regular brutality and possible abuse, Matthews was manifestly unfit for parenthood.
Yet, were it not for her scheme, as stupid as it was squalid, to arrange her daughter's kidnap, she would still be providing her prolific brood with the worst possible start in life. In retrospect, for nine-year-old Shannon Matthews being kidnapped by her mother's toyboy's uncle may well have been the best thing that ever happened to her. Indeed, reading between the lines, she seems to have enjoyed her captivity rather more than her accustomed life. Which, given that she was drugged and possibly tied up, is really saying something.
But for all her scuzzy ineptitude Karen Matthews was only repeating the pattern of her own childhood. One of seven children herself, she left home at 14 and ended up in care; by the time she was 17 she was shacked up with her first boyfriend and starting out on her career of miscellaneous breeding. Her sister Julie Poskett "said she began to despair of her after the birth of the first child which saw the start of a series of relationships aimed at maximising benefit claims." All the clichés of underclass dysfunctionality were present and correct: she was Vicky Pollard, Waynetta Slob - even the kidnap plot is said to have been inspired by an episode of Shameless.
Attention in recent weeks has been directed at extreme cases of child killing ("Baby P") or sexual abuse (the "British Fritzl") but, as the contested figures published in the Lancet yesterday hint, low-level but damaging forms of child-abuse persist in all developed countries. Different regimes of social services and state intervention face the blame when things go tragically wrong but seem, whatever the dogma or training of separate national systems, unable to provide much more than sticking plaster. Baby P was exceptional, though far from unique - an average of one child every week dies in Britain from abuse or neglect. Karen Matthews, until her stroke of would-be genius, was not. And as Martin Narey, formerly of the prison service and now of Barnardo's, pointed out in a tactless but probably accurate speech the other week, had Baby P lived the chances are he would have ended up an antisocial lout. Be that as it may, it's fair to say his chances of studying at Oxford are likely to have been fairly slim.
No doubt it was ever thus. To blame the decline in marriage and the increase in casual relationships and single parenthood, as some social and religious conservatives do, is to paint a false picture of a golden age of happy families. In reality there has always been neglect, abuse and poor parenting - indeed practices now regarded as abusive were once commonplace. It is not that long ago that "spare the rod, spoil the child" was proverbial wisdom and, unfashionable as it may be now, there are still many who in their hearts believe it.
Hand-wringing in the Guardian yesterday about the failures of child protection, Yvonne Roberts wrote that "It's too draconian to suggest that if every child matters, then every would-be parent should first be passed as reasonably fit for purpose". And that would seem to be an obvious point to make. The right to "found a family" is enshrined in the European Convention; to require state permission to fulfil nature's function would be to extend the nanny state to almost totalitarian proportions, to make real the fantasies of Utopians from Plato to Huxley, to resurrect the buried nightmare of eugenics.
Yet the situation we now find ourselves in with regards to the family and the state is illogical. Why should having a child - one of the most serious and important things anyone ever does - be subject to almost no government regulation and interference while far less complex or momentous activities, like inviting a singer to perform in a bar or selling fruit and veg in pounds and ounces, is the stuff of red tape or bans? Why do health and safety inspectors order the destruction of harmless horse chestnut trees when anyone can squirt out a baby? You require a licence to drive a car, shoot a grouse or leave the country for a short holiday. It will soon be impossible to volunteer to referee a school football match without undergoing extensive police checks - yet statistics consistently prove that the vast majority of abuse occurs in the home, in situations where there is no prior vetting and intervention is patchy at best and could never be failsafe.
Couples who wish to adopt - or even to foster - are subjected to the most intense scrutiny and then face being turned down for reasons that often seem purely arbitrary, those who through no fault of their own have reproductive difficulties are faced with bureaucratic hurdles almost as high before being granted NHS treatment. Yet anyone capable of getting themselves up the duff is legally able to have their baby, however unqualified or unsuitable they are, however inappropriate their circumstances - unless for some reason they have attracted the adverse attentions of the social services. This isn't merely irrational, it's unfair - even, dare I say it, discriminatory. If there are sound reasons for making things so difficult for the childless then they should apply - perhaps more so - to the carelessly and dangerously fertile.
The Dutch socialist politicain Marja Van Dijken recently suggested that women identified in advance as potentially unfit mothers - or who had shown themselves to be so in the past - could be subjected to forceable contraception or face automatic removal of their children at birth. Actually, that last part is not that dissimilar to what sometimes happens in Britain even now, leading to fears in some quarters that newborn children are being unnecessarily taken into care to meet adoption targets. There was widespread outrage at a proposal that seems so statist and illiberal. But perhaps Van Dijken wasn't going far enough. Instead of waiting for a potentially bad parent to come to the attention of the authorities, shouldn't all parents be screened before they are allowed to breed?
It could be achieved, in the first instance, by putting all girls (boys too, if possible), as they reach puberty, onto some form of contraception, perhaps by way of a course of injections. On deciding to start a family, having reached the age of at least 21, they would be able to apply to the authorities to have the contraceptive treatment withdrawn. This would be done, but only after a number of conditions were satisfied. Among these might be the following:
One advantage of such a scheme would be the virtual elimination of teenage parenthood. Younger parents may have the energy to bring up children, but they have neither the life experience or, frequently, the staying power. It is, apart from anything else, nonsensical that 16 year olds are forbidden from buying a cigarette, a knife or the smallest quantity of alcohol, may not even watch a film which the BBFC in its wisdom has decided is too much for them, yet they are allowed to take on the onerous responsibilities of parenthood. And the bad results, in terms of their own and their children's life chances, are all too apparent. Just ask Karen Matthews.
How would all this be funded? There would, of course, be a huge increase in the social service budget, but this may to some extent be offset by savings in benefits payments and - further down the line - fewer casualties of neglectful parenting would end up in prison. Moreover, parenting licences need not be free - nor, necessarily, would the classes. Driving lessons, after all, are not free. Nor are passports, which have increased severalfold in cost in recent years and are likely to do so even more in future as the expensive formalities necessary to ensure the security of the ID cards register come on stream. A fee - payable by installments - of around £1000 ought to cover most of the cost of the new system.
Given that the Times reported in 2006 that it costs around £180,000 on average to raise a child to adulthood, an extra £1000 should not prove too great a burden on prospective parents, while the expense of the fees would serve the additional purpose of weeding out some "sub-prime" families. Investment in a parenting licence would demonstrate not merely financial stability - essential to the wellbeing of children - but also seriousness of commitment. For those who became pregnant without securing the necessary licence a fine of, say, £500 over and above the cost of enrolment in the scheme might prove an appropriate corrective - or, if the expense were deemed to great for poorer families, it might be possible to achieve a licence by doing voluntary work - for example, hands-on experience at a nursery.
As an additional incentive, those who prove particularly effective parents - as judged by educational attainment, participation of the children in voluntary activities, psychological testing, etc - might be refunded part of the cost of the training, or receive grants towards free educational holidays. In time, the savings in the costs of social failure would probably come to outweigh the costs of extra social workers and health inspectors; and since well-brought-up, healthy children usually become effective, well-balanced and productive adults the wider economy would benefit.
My proposed scheme is not, like the ID cards programme, for the benefit of the state or the convenience of bureaucrats. Nor does it resemble the discredited notions of early 20th century eugenicists. The eugenicists feared that the stupid and feckless tended to breed like the proverbial rabbits, while those of higher brainpower and morality had fewer children and sometimes none at all. Their concerns strike us now as offensively elitist: they stressed things like the "quality of the race" and raised spectres of a society sinking back into stupidity and barbarism as the well-bred failed to breed. No-one would speak in such terms now, even though they might think it privately. More importantly, the eugenicists had a simplistic view of heritability. Intelligence is not a simple matter of genetic inheritance; geniuses sometimes emerge from the most unpromising backgrounds.
A system of licensed parenting, by contrast, is not concerned with breeding more intelligent, stronger or more physically attractive children or eliminating unwanted characteristics or disease. It is merely for the sake of the children. For some parents the arrangements would be intrusive, onerous or unnecessary. But that would be a small price to pay to eliminate the misery of so many deprived and abusive childhoods.
Who could possibly object?

Actually, your point about adoption is well made. We have friends (who have one happy, healthy child) who have been put through the most ridiculous and intrusive two years trying to adopt another child.
The whole thing seems to be run by committees because no individual will ever take any responsibility. The hoops they insist you jump through are quite unbelievable.
Our friends are bright and pragmatic people who have tolerated the rubbish because they wish to have another child but they are reaching an end point because their existing child is getting older and they think it will be more difficult to integrate another child.
The really sad thing is that these are people I (and I'm sure most of you) would describe as ideal parents. I despair.

Fantastic idea! Police and community support officers could be given special powers to detain any pregnant women they see who are unable to prove they are licensed to procreate!

Your argument seems thus: the government interferes in lots of stupid trivial ways, when there are big, serious ways in which it does not. Therefore, it should interfere in these serious ways.
My point would be: maybe it should stop interfering in stupid trivial ways and leave me and everyone else alone. And harsh as it sounds, if this means that some kids suffer, then I am afraid that may just be the way it has to be.
I can't help but feel that the entire post was written tongue-in-cheek, but it is late, and I've eaten too much...

When you talk about the charges in your scheme, I think you've touched on part of the problem but not the right solution. Part of the problem of what you call 'sub-prime parents' is that in its obsession with 'hard-working families', government provides what are essentially economic incentives to breed. Rich people are not persuaded by the relatively small amounts, but some poorer people see them as a revenue stream. Because such people are having children, often in quantity, whilst not being interested in parenting, the risks of child abuse are that much greater than in a small family where the children were actually wanted.
The trouble is how to combat this. One can't simply cap funding after so many children without leaving existing families to suffer; and a policy that applied different rules to new families would, if not threatened by human rights legislation, cause widespread howls from the populace at large.
But what if we look at why children are seen as an economic benefit? Surely, if the benefits given for children were spent on the children they would be of little benefit. The truth, however, is that this isn't what happens: parents with large benefit families spend only a fraction of the benefits on the children, the rest are reserved for their own pleasures. If we could find a mechanism to prevent this - perhaps by applying a card system where the money can only be spent on appropriate goods and services - then we would remove the incentive to raise kids as a cash crop. We'd probably even make it easier for social services to cope.

I appreciate that this scheme would run into many practical difficulties and - as Anonny Mouse detected - I am not being entirely serious. I offer it more as a thought experiment. My scheme would mean huge state interference in private life, but unlike many manifestations of bureaucracy, it would be interference for an uncomplicated public good.
Many of the social problems with which we are inflicted, from crime and anti-social behaviour to economic deprivation, could be solved - or at least greatly mitigated - if only we could find a way of ensuring that only responsible, stable people became parents. The incompetence of the social services, revealed by Baby P, would be much lessened if Baby P had never been born. There would be far fewer abortions. Nor would children continue to be punished for the incompetence and fecklessness of their parents. The alternatives - withdrawal of benefits, or forcing mothers prematurely back to work - hit children hardest.
You raise some interesting points, Andrew. But a card system such as the one you propose would serve to increase dependence on the state. The trouble is that any system aimed at punishing the feckless would impact most on the children. The only equitable solution would be to prevent them having children in the first place.

I bet she did not read the Daily Mail! she was apparently more of a Mirror women, at least her pedo livin plant life was.
Sorry but the moral vacuum we have created with our new secular religion of non judgementalism, and moral relativism is at the heart of all this.
This monster of Underclass has been created by the state and is sustained by the state, the state has in effect become a surrogate family, and a surrogate community.
- 5 December 2008 at 10:53
- The Heresiarch said...
I'd be surprised if she read any sort of newspaper.
As for the underclass being created and sustained by the state... well yes, but what is to be done about it now? Making people jump through state-approved hoops before they could start a family would bring with it obvious dangers of politicisation, as I hinted in the article. But at least it would produce future generations that were unlikely to fall into a condition of chronic dependence and anti-social attitudes. Moral fortitude would re-assert itself as the underclass disappeared. And whatever you think of my proposal (whatever I think about it) it could hardly be described as "non-judgemental".
- 5 December 2008 at 11:01
Whats to be done?
Push real power down to the bottom, Whitehall might tolerate KM but I bet her local neighborhood given half a chance would not.
elected prosecutors, elected chiefs of police, elected council officials of depts, the lot.
Yes of course plenty of towns will muck up big time, but over time thru the trial and error process they will start to work.

I agree with your idea, H. I know it was tongue-in-cheek, but that doesn't make it wrong. I'd add an age limit. Don't let anyone be a parent till they're 21. After all, raising a new human being is a damn sight more important than being an MP.
Passer by, I agree. But introduce compulsory voting, too; otherwise - given the low turnouts at local elections - you could end up with an Islamist police chief and a creationist school board.
- 5 December 2008 at 17:44
- The Heresiarch said...
Let me tell you, Valdemar. I started writing this as a piss-take of state nannying, but by the time I finished it I thought it was a good idea. Well, sort of. Certainly making sure unsuitable people didn't have children would be a much better use of the state's nannying resources than preventing people rolling cheese down hillsides.
I don't like compulsory voting, though. Low turn-outs in elections "send a message" to politicians that they're not up to the job. And I think the prospect of an Islamist police chief would probably bring out the voters anyway.
- 5 December 2008 at 17:50
Not sure on the compulsory voting bit, but a smart thing to do might be to give a 50 quid discount on your council tax if you turn up to vote?

Authoritarian bilge - fuck off.
- 5 December 2008 at 19:38
Oh dear! Irony is dangerous especially when you start to construct an argument - one can be led into strange places. I think I have come across this plan somewhere before - in an Aldous Huxley novel or story maybe.
As it happens, the most morally reprehensible human being I have ever met was the son of a bishop and a highly educated Oxford man. And curioulsy enough, one of my best friends went to a neighbouring college, got an exceedingly good degree and is now a very rich man indeed and remains a nice guy. His mum only gave up her stall in Glasgow's Barras just a couple of years ago. My own family background, come to think of it, is not brilliant!
You are quite right about the child - she should have a better chance now, poor kid. But the only real difference between her awful mum and some equally awful middle-class mums I know is simply one of money - and brass neck perhaps.
PS - I lie the comment 'Authoritarian Bilge' above. This I suppose is a Turkish lady, perhaps a Bilge cousin of Boris's. . .
- 5 December 2008 at 20:07
To be honest I was pretty unsure of your idea in this article, but then I read this article today. Oh, dear.
I'm coming around to the idea of licenses now.

LONG BEACH — Jennifer Hill was opening presents with her two small children on Christmas morning when Long Beach police officers knocked on her door with upsetting news.
Her shop, Sneaky Tiki at 2234 E. Fourth St. on Retro Row, had been burglarized sometime overnight. The burglars smashed the glass front door and made off with more than $6,000 worth of merchandise including vintage wool shirts, custom jeans, leather jackets and jewelry, she said.
For Hill, a Long Beach resident who depends on sales from the shop to help support her family, the loss is devastating.
"I just don't understand why they have to steal from small stores," she said. "They have no idea how hard it is to run a small, local store. It's very depressing."
This is the fifth break-in for Sneaky Tiki in its nine years on Retro Row, a collection of eclectic shops along Fourth Street between Cherry and Junipero avenues.
Many Retro Row shop owners have installed security bars to help prevent burglaries. Hill said she now plans to install security bars as well.
"I didn't want to have to put in security bars, but I guess now I have no choice," she said.
Long Beach Police Sgt. Aaron Eaton said the crime was reported on Christmas morning when a passerby noticed the shattered glass. Police have no known witnesses and are asking for the public's help.
Hill is offering a $500 reward for any information that leads to an arrest. She's hoping that someone will recognize some of the shop's unique items, especially Sneaky Tiki's exclusive brand of jeans called Evil Denim Jeans.
"We're the only ones who make those jeans, you can't get them anywhere else, so we're hoping somebody will see somebody wearing them," she said.
Other unique items include vintage Pendleton wool plaid shirts, women's SourPuss brand clothing, vintage studded belts and biker-style skull rings.
Hill said she believes there was more than one burglar and the criminals likely came in a few days before the burglary to case the shop.
"I just hope they get caught because I don't want them to do this to anyone else," she said.
Anyone with information should contact Long Beach Police Burglary Detail at 562-570-7351. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous may call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or text TIPLA plus your tip to 274637 (CRIMES), or visit www.LACrimeStoppers.org.

8 Senators: Blow the Doors Open on FISA Court
(NEWSER) – Here's one way to cut down on leaks about spy agencies' use of the super-secret FISA court—make the rulings public. Eight senators from both parties backed a bill today that would bring far more transparency to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, reports Roll Call. They want key rulings from the court declassified in the wake of last week's leaked reports in the Guardian andWashington Post. The Hill notes that the bipartisan group of eight ranges from Al Franken on the left to Tea Party favorite Mike Lee.

Police say it's not known yet when the man apparently fell to his death. His name hasn't been released.

ONTARIO - Kathy Milton often flies to the Inland Empire from her home in Reno to visit family.
But without a direct flight, the trip could sometimes take six hours, between connections and layovers, before arriving at L.A./Ontario International Airport.
Now, with a 90-minute nonstop flight to ONT, Milton said she no longer has to spend a significant portion of her day traveling.
"With this I'll be able to come down and visit for weekend jaunts," said Milton, who added this new flight allowed her to fly back in time for work Monday morning.
The route is aimed at winter sports enthusiasts seeking vacation travel to Reno-Tahoe area.
As Milton was getting ready to return home Monday morning she encountered a celebration for the seasonal service by Los Angeles World Airports and Southwest Airlines from ONT to Reno-Tahoe International Airport, which began on Sunday. Several items of snow gear was also raffled off.
To commemorate the service, LAWA staff treated passengers and members of the airport to breakfast. An area of Terminal 4, near the boarding gate for the Reno flight, was sectioned off and decorated to resemble a snowy lodge in the mountains, complete with some wildlife.
This is the first new route out of ONT in 18 months. Daily service will run for three months from January to early April. The carrier plans to use a 137-seat 737 for daily flights, a spokeswoman for the airline said.
Southwest, the largest carrier at ONT, is the only airline to provide nonstop, round-trip service between ONT and Reno/Lake Tahoe with one daily flight. Southwest operates out of Terminal 4 with arrivals at 7:30 a.m. and departures at 8:05 a.m.
"I'm excited to get to have this nonstop which is much more convenient. I just hope it's going to be supported," Milton said. "I really want this to happen."
That's exactly what airport manager Jess Romo is hoping for. He hopes the flight to Reno proves popular, which could lead to Southwest expanding flights from Ontario.
"I hope it does grow and sustain itself to be viable route," he said.
Southwest Reno-Tahoe service was cut as Southwest changed its presence in different airports over the past five years, Romo said.
At the same time, how successfully Southwest can book enough seats for Reno will determine its success.
LAWA - which also operates Los Angeles International and Van Nuys airports - has paid for print advertising in Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley regions to market the flight. Romo would not say how much has been invested in the advertising, adding that ONT staff are working on a bigger marketing plan for the airport which will be released some time this year.
He did say they expect a more grassroots effort, relying on more word of mouth advertising to market the service.
The last time the airport got a new route for a major carrier was in the fall 2010, when Southwest opened flights to Midway International Airport in Chicago, Romo said.
Carolyn Odoh, Southwest Customer Service supervisor based at ONT, said Monday's flight had about 43 passengers but expects to see high-volume of passengers on Thursdays and going through the weekend.
"We are excited about the new nonstop service and new cities throughout the 2013 year," she said.
Southwest Airlines recently merged with Airtrans which mean new cities could come to ONT, Odoh said.
Passengers on Monday morning talked about the convenience of the service. Kierstein Weik admits she had no idea ONT even existed until she began looking for flights for her daughter, Keaerra, who attends a university in Reno. The San Marcos resident said she normally chooses Los Angeles International Airport and in some cases San Diego International Airport.
"It's more reasonably priced than San Diego and much more shorter distance than LAX," she said.
Even though Weik has flown out of LAX, she has sometimes been stuck with a connection.
"It takes up your whole day," she said.
Assemblyman Mike Morrell, R-Rancho Cucamonga, was on his way to Sacramento when he saw encountered the festivities.
Morrell said he had no idea about the event or the flight option.
"It's nice to see our airport expanding considering our challenges with L.A.," he said. "Every little bit helps. It's a shot in the arm to the airport."

It would appear the svn-update for w3af died while in progress. I'd kill that process, run apt-get autoremove to cleanup, and try the upgrade again.
Your needs may vary, but I've personally never done a BackTrack upgrade. I do a backup, then a fresh install of BT, and restore my backup.

It's not unusual for Chelsea Phillips to hold up two or three fingers as she walks past her coordinator's office her way of showing how many pet adoptions she helped arrange that day.
"It is a lot of work in one day to get them adopted and stuff," said Phillips, "but it's well worth it."
Phillips, 21, and her best friend, Andy Finnegan, 22, are fixtures at Salt Lake County Animal Services. The two began volunteering there more than a year ago as part of Granite School District's GIFTS Program (Gaining Independence For Transition Success). The program aims to help special-education students such as Phillips, who has a learning disability, and Finnegan, who was born with brain damage, gain the job and life skills necessary for adulthood.
The two have stayed on at the center far past the program's requirements. Why? Because they love the critters.
"I would never stop coming," said Finnegan, whose lifelong ambition has been to work with animals. "It makes me happy. These animals need a home."
Finnegan volunteers there about 40 hours a week, on top of school and his part-time job as a movie theater ticket-taker. Phillips lends a hand five days a week, each afternoon after class.
They arrive each day via public transportation (neither one has a car). There, they help arrange adoptions, clean, walk dogs and feed the animals. They've both won President's Volunteer Service Awards for their commitment.
"These two young people are so dedicated," said Jenny Bloom, Salt Lake County Animal Services volunteer coordinator. "I don't think we could really do it without our volunteers, especially these two."
Finnegan is particularly attached to the dogs, and Phillips has an affinity for the cats, especially when it comes to matching felines with families.
"Seeing all their faces and getting to know them, making sure they're getting attention," Phillips said, "just makes me feel good."
Her record is nine adoptions in one day.

That wasn't really the crux of Jamaal Charles ' conversation with NFL Network on Thursday, but it makes for the most attractive headline.
So, yes, Charles said it is possible that 2,000 yards is in his near future, and he continued to express his love for the Chiefs' new offense, which will include some sets out of the pistol offense. That makes Charles happy.
"I ain't never been around no offense that's about to be explosive and about to put me in space and making me make plays," Charles said as a guest on "NFL AM."
Fantasy Analysis:
Putting Charles in the pistol formation is just another wrinkle for the Chiefs as they continue to explore different ways to get their best player involved. Don't worry about 2,000 yards; Charles is going to be plenty productive. He'll be especially valuable in PPR leagues since he will likely catch at least 60 passes this season.

It works fine with WEP. However, when I do iwconfig wlan0 enc (WPA2 key) it says: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A): invalid arguement "(key)".
Is there something special when connecting to WPA or WPA2 networks?

Hey all,
I've been using BT3 since the release and i have almost no complains at all, it works great, except for a few annoying things:
1. When i use Compiz everything works good apart from the fact that my desktops are being duplicated by 4, ie. when i have chosen 2 desktops - it shows 8. When i'm checking KDesktop it shows only 2 desktops but in the taskbar it shows 8.
2. If i choose the Compiz-Fusion (NVIDIA) option, everything works fine but when i want to log off X window, on the shutdown menu i have only "End current session" option, and even though it is set on Session Manager to place "Restart computer" as default option. But if i choose the first option on the BT3 boot loader, just BT3+KDE then i have all the 3 options of logoff, restart and shutdown. any idea what's the cause?
3. In order to have windows titlebars in X windows i have to run a command:
nvidia-xconfig -d 24
so i've edited /etc/rc.d/rc.local and added this line but it won't do it, and so whenever i log into X after boot i have to run this command and then restart X. - it sucks.
4. Last thing that annoys me is that i have such a badass computer and i'm using a Sandisk Cruzer 8GB flash disk but still, BT3 looks better and boots better on laptops
I have an Intel core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz E6550 with 4 gb XEON ram and GeForce 8800GTX.
I'll be grateful if you'll provide me some answers,
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I have persistent changes.

Japan's Complete Fighting System "Shin Kage Ryu"
Shin Kage Ryu jujutsu has existed as a fighting system since the nineteenth century, and the literal meaning of the three Chinese characters is "spirit shadow way." Originating in J apan and influenced by Okinawan fighting systems, the art has evolved into one that ip.corporates karate-like kicks, punches, and strikes, as well as the throwing, grappling, and joint techniques of judo. Thus, Shin Kage Ryu is a complete fighting system, one that combines the best elements of karate with those of jujutsu.
The unique mix of disciplines in Shin Kage Ryu makes it possible to fight with an opponent in an upright position and, if necessary, take him to the ground and score a victory by grappling or choking. Students are also taught extensive attack and defense techniques with both the sword and knife.
Author of the successful Karate Training: The Samurai Legacy and Modern Practice, Robin L. Rielly has written this book as an introduction to Shin Kage Ryu for those unfamiliar with it, and to insure that the knowledge of this fighting art is not lost. It remains a pure martial art, and because it is not practiced in sporting contests, its kata are often closer to real combat. Although in some ways similar to karate kata, advanced black belts in karate agree that the kata of Shin Kage Ryu have a different feeling-one that is both powerful and effective. As such, this book is an essential handbook for every karate practitioner and enthusiast.

Tsarnaev Doubles Sales of Rolling Stone
(NEWSER) – Further proof that a good furor can gin up business: Despite a boycott that saw some retailers yank the issue from shelves, Rolling Stone's "Boston Bomber" cover featuring Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was a hit on newsstands, selling twice as many issues as usual, Ad Week reports. The mag unloaded 13,232 copies between July 19 and July 29 at nearly 1,500 retailers—a 102% jump from last year's average. (In case you're wondering why that number seems low, only 5% of Rolling Stone's circulation is sold at retail.)

While graffiti writers face trial and prison sentences for their art, some street artists' work is lauded and protected behind Perspex.

Some things are better off left buried, and the longer the better. Septic tanks top this list.
That's one of the reasons why ABC Precast & Ready Mix of Nanaimo, British Columbia, has turned to advanced sewage treatment systems to make sure concrete tanks remain the product of choice for local residents.
"The biggest problem with septic tanks is leaching, causing degradation to concrete," says A.J. Hustins, general manager of ABC Precast & Ready Mix, which has been in the tank business for 40 years. "To minimize these problems, we take special care to form our septic tanks with newer molds and high-quality concrete that exceed industry standards for thickness and strength. We also look to new industry advancements to further improve our final product."
ABC had been testing an additive for waterproofing, protecting, and improving concrete strength in some of its other product lines. The product was performing well, so ABC tested it in its septic tanks.
The producer tested the product, Xypex Admix C500, in a variety of conditions, including compressive strength and sulfate resistance. Added to concrete during batching, the product reacts with calcium hydroxide and other byproducts of cement hydration in the concrete. This causes a catalytic reaction that generates a nonsoluble crystalline formation throughout the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete.
Mixed with Xypex Admix, the concrete becomes permanently sealed against the penetration of water or liquids from any direction and deterioration due to harsh environmental conditions. It resists chemicals and can seal a hairline crack up to 0.4 mm. Unlike a coating system applied to the concrete after it's formed, it never has to be reapplied.
Typically, ABC looks to achieve a minimum 32 MPa in the tank mix design at a 28-day break. With Xypex, the producer averages 45 MPa.
Higher strength
"The crystalline reaction helped the concrete hold more moisture over a longer period of time so we get a longer, slower moister cure, which ultimately yields a higher strength," says Hustins.
Some of the benefits were visible to the naked eye. "We knew our tanks were working in terms of waterproofing," says Hustins. "We'd look at a tank that was full of water and see if the color of the concrete was getting darker and showing signs of dampness. Had we seen a color change, it would have been a clear sign that water was leaching through the concrete."
Not so easily detected is the protection the product provides against sulfate attack. Acid resistance tests show that by blocking the penetration of acids into the concrete, Xypex prevents the formation of sulfoaluminate hydrate, an expansive compound that causes the concrete to self-destruct.
Today, the precast producer uses Xypex in all of its septic tanks, which are available in volumes of 300, 480, 900, 1200, 1440, 2400, and 4800 U.S. gallons. It is added at a dosage rate of 3% by weight of the portland cement for precast tanks.
Many septic tank installers and contractors in British Columbia now recognize the difference. Recently, ABC Precast & Ready Mix was awarded a contract to supply a local registered installation company with a multiple tank system for one of the Gulf Islands, located off the east coast of Vancouver.

String Shoot - Morgan County - Decatur, AL Aug. 11-12 2012
Morgan County will host a "String Shoot" on Aug. 11-12 to help raise funds for the Morgan County Schools NASP program. Casual Start both days, gate will be open at 7:00 am with last card out at 3:00 pm both days. The fee is $10.00. This will also be the last shoot at this range since we will relocate to our new archery park at Point Mallard in Decatur for 2013.
For those who haven't shot a string shoot, a string is run through the course of which you will follow. The number of targets is unknown (may be 20, 23, 30 etc.) and the stations aren't marked. You follow the string and "hunt" for the targets and find your best place to stand for the shot. The catch, you can go forward along the string, but you can't go back. Once the one in rotation stops and shoots, that's where the whole group shoots from. Women & youth will be able to cross the string and move forward in order that they still are able to shoot from their comfort zone.
It's primarily a bowhunter challenge, but you're not required to use bowhunter setup. This is mainly a shoot for fun as well as trying something different. A group of us went to one up in Tennessee a couple years ago and had a blast. The targets will not be stretched out (max. distance will most likely be below 35 yards). This is a shoot that the entire family will enjoy. Grab your buddies who never go shoot 3D courses and bring them out, I promise, they will have a great time, plus it's a good warmup session for hunting season.
If you have any questions, please feel free to shoot me an email ( email@example.com and I will be happy to address your issues. You can also visit our website (www.morgancountyarchery.com) for directions and maps or go to:

[quote:10193131:MV8yMTIxMzI3XzM1Nzk2NDQ3XzYxMUQ3MjVE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 23252973:MV8yMTIxMzI3XzM1Nzk2MzU3XzdENDk1NTk5] I need to criticize and compliment the OP. You have cracked the movie wide open, but you have yet to really make sense of it. That said, kudos on stating the film is about the audience, not the film. Kubrick's 2001 was not even about space, it was about the person watching it. There are great YouTube videos that explain his methods. So far, your explanation is too schizophrenic. You have cracked open the atom, but have yet to describe the junk inside. Please let us know when you figure out the junk. [/quote] As far as the junk is concerned, it's largely irrelevant. Kubrick's 'invention' is loosely based upon the 1926 German Novella 'Traumeville', or Dream Story. Like all Kubrick work, the Title is never actually what it seems to be. It is always Kubrick's total reworking of a piece. It's like he draws a scetch of a famous painting and then completely repaints it according to his own needs. For example, The Shining was not at all what Stephen King wrote. Kubrick took a work, gutted it of its inards, took the shell and then crammed it with the story he wanted and needed to tell. So it is with Eyes Wide Shut and Dream Story. Kubrick took a scetch and followed a sequence of events that generally fell along the story line and then showed how a similar series of events could have been (and is) set into motion with Monarch programming in today's world. Everything in Eyes Wide Shut is symbol. Everything is abstract, overarching and archetypical of the major Monarch program. The plot is useless. In fact, the story itself is useless. The only thing that matters in Eyes Wide Shut is the sequence of events leading to a point. There is only technique in Eyes Wide Shut. It is a clinic and a documentary thinly vieled as fiction. The sex is dry and robotic, so the critics claim. This is intentional. The story isn't about sex. The story isn't about Satanic cults. The story isn't about love. The story isn't about the 7 deadly sins. There is no important story except the story of Monarch mind control and how it works. That's the whole point. And you either get it and use it or you don't. The end. [/quote]
Original Message
I've recently watched Eyes Wide Shut again. Maybe the implanted triggers of Christmas or winter time woke up this sleeper memory fragment. I don't know.
All I know is that I take Eyes Wide Shut a lot more seriously than I used to. I hear it got horrible reviews when released at the box office. It was generally a flop and crowds were either disappointed or confused.
The very fact that the general audience didn't 'get' Eyes Wide Shut tells me just how important that film really is. It is as relevant as when first released, perhaps more so now that we have entered 2013 and the Time of Awakening in now complete. The very fact that it failed to shock is a tell of just have brainwashed the masses really are. It failed to shock because people saw it as being too 'normal', or Victorian concerning sexual taboos. (!) This may well have been what Kubrick was hinting at as well. Not only are the characters of the film more asleep when they 'wake up' then they were when they were asleep, but more importantly, the general audience is asleep with eyes wide shut in a completely zombified state not realizing that the film was more about the audience than it was about the film. They are hypnotized and don't even recognize it.
But I digress. I'll simply state that the film is a clinic and how-to of Monarch MK. The Navy is invoked in the film, which was first to test Monarch, but this really isn't what the film is about. The film is about the Monarch as practiced by Illuminati Jesuits. Monarch was known and practiced LONG before the Navy got involved.
It is the butterfly effect and chain of events. It is the law of cause and effect in action with triggers and plants in motion. 'Domino' starts the chain of events. Everything seems coindidental. Everything seems left up to chance. Everything has plausible deniability. However, from start to finish, nothing in this story happens by random chance.
It is all staged as the magic of a Thousand Points of Light around the Dr. Even his friend the piano player is a plant. Domino is a plant and an Illuminati Zebra. His wife is a plant. The two women at the party are plants. The costume store owner is a plant. His daughter is a plant. The two asian men are plants. The doctor's patients are plants. Everyone in this film is a plant and part of the chain and network of Monarch Mind Control that is leading the Dr.
The movie even ends with a trigger word and command being given by his wife who has become his 'handler'. 'Now that we're awake, there is something very important we need to do as soon as possible'. What's that? 'Fuck.' And with this, the Doctor's initiation into the Sex/Death/Satanic cult, his altered persona, and his Monarch programming are complete.
The movie is more horrifying than people know. And the only reason that people are not and were not alarmed by the film is that it has never dawned on them that they are the Doctor and his wife.
There is the type of audience member who probably saw the film for a cheap thrill or to see some tna. However, to the thinking movie viewer, who actually understands what Kubrick did in all his films (give visual essays and comentaries on sociology), the film is a lot deeper. In Eyes Wide Shut, we are given a black and white tell-all about the very poison that is infecting society and exactly how it does so. It is not something similar to what is going on in society, it is EXACTLY what is going on. Eyes Wide Shut isn't a just a film, and an archetypal documentary.
The doctor could be any upper middle class yuppy. The wife could be any typal upper middle class yuppy's gold-digger of a wife. The daughter is a product of her environment and training, a young consumerist whore being trained from birth to get anything she desires.
Is trauma necessary for Monarch to 'click off'? Yeah, probably. However, it's not exactly the 'trauma' we're used to in science fiction movies. It doesn't require electroshock like so many imagine. There are many 'stressors' that can be used to induce Monarch. It is all about the law of attraction. Monarch shoots situations. These situations are left up to the law of 'probability', cause and effect. The Weather is a function of a Chaos equation. When we predict the mathematical probabilities of weather patterns, we are ingaging in probability and statitics--Chaos Theory.
Magick is a Chaos Function, like rhetoric, or politics, or movies, or anything actually. The Key is to determine what will most probably happen given a set of circumstances--situations. You might come up with 5 to 10 senarios in such a function. If the victim chooses to do one thing, you and your team of a thousand points of light, or illuminists will surround that situation with dominos, or mirrors of possiblity, suggestions, situations, arrangements. When the Magick Circle spirals in closer and closer to what the victim 'might' do to what the victim is 'doing', your Chaos equation and fuction becomes all the more probable of succeeding. This is how Silent Weapons also work in society. They all amount to what used to be refered to as Black Magick or Shadow Magick. In reality, they are simply the results of choices and most probable outcomes. These probable outcomes can then most often be reproduced, yet with ephemeral outcomes using hypnotically planted trigger words which generally work to restart/recreate the domino or butterfly effect.
This is the Key to all Magick, to any spell whatsoever, whether good or evil. You will notice that the HighPriest is cicumambulating in counter-clockwise motion which is a sign of a working of dissolution functioning on Chaos motions. The 12 maidens generally represent the 12 seasons, 12 signs of the Zodiac being sent out monthly and in order according to their monthly sign to raise Babylon and the High Priest is the Scarlet Beast Himself, the Phallic Energy of the Averse Star of Babylon. This is Babalonian Sex Magick/Sorcery, plain and simple. This is an old world, no holds barred, 100% accurate Jesuit Bavarian Illuminati, Beast and Whore 666, Inverted Satanic Black Mass. Period. And it is from this very kind of Chaotic light and mirror magick that the Illuminati have controlled the world for so long.
The Aureole of the Illuminati is the attracting magnate. What does a person want, what does a person not want? The magnate is the desire and the fuctional ability to make that desire into a reality by the members of the Order. This is how the Illuminati Aureole magnetizes and attracks the peoples of society. (Actually, it's also how any other idea attracks anybody else, too, including the Gospel). Disney, the Stock Market, Hollywood, etc.. All these are examples of the Illuminati magnate and Aureole in action in larger society. It is a Delusion a Desert Mirage that people willingly submit to. And in Eyes Wide Shut, the members of the Order at the Sex Rites seem self-aware of their chosen dissolution--willing nihilism in its true and veritable form.
However, in various circles, there are also magnates that can be just as powerful in certain situations. And it is by these smaller magnates that bigger magnates become possible. In short, Babylon (or Hell) wasn't built in a day. It was built one consensual brick at a time. And in the end of Eyes Wide Shut, Tom Cruize's character, the doctor, becomes just such a willing brick.

In the words of sickn3ss.....
Let me google that for you
I just installed BT5 but im having an issue when i run "apt-get install basket" and i get the following error:
The program 'basket' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install basket
You will have to enable the component called 'universe'
so my question is how to enable the component called universe???
In the words of sickn3ss.....
Let me google that for you
Hi also newbie here.....I'm using the provided link above
<http://lmgtfy.com/?q=enable+universe+component>, however,
*absolutely* no response whatever from this link!! YMMV.
Assistance appreciated. Thnx. Have A Healthy, Prosperous Day!
To everyone else who *did* Google for how to resolve this (and that's how they found themselves on this thread), in recent versions of Ubuntu:
Go to:
System Administration -> Add/Remove Software -> Settings -> Edit Software Sources
check the box: community maintained open source software (universe)
Telling people to Google when they already did is kind of silly, does anyone actually use forum search anymore?
i just enter in backtrack world by now and install backtrack 5 r3 after 2 days work but i dont have "System Administration "-> Add/Remove Software -> Settings - options you mention above any hepl :ty
and i am trying to get pwlist some how i try crunch as in m search i get by it but it did not work for me i do install but still
is there a ready made pwlist anywhere on google or anyoone can send it to me or give me link of software and can guide me a bit as i just start BT5
IF you are using the command line, type "startx" (without the quotes) to access the GUI interface

REDLANDS - Citrus Valley High students ran away with the win.
A trio of students took the top three spots in the second annual Constitution Day Essay Contest, sponsored by the Redlands Sunrise Rotary and the 4400 Project.
Citrus Valley junior Daniel McFarland of Highland took first place, senior Jonathan Roberts of Highland placed second, and junior Marissa Montoya of Yucaipa came in third.
This year's contest, held from Sept. 17 to Nov. 1, asked high school-aged students from Redlands schools to write an essay on the Constitution and its history.
Entries were judged on historical accuracy, grasp of the subject, presentation, grammar and spelling.
A committee was formed to read the entries, which took about two weeks, said Terri Wimer, project coordinator for the contest and the 4400 Project.
All the participants names, ages and school information were kept under wraps, she said, adding that it was later revealed the winners came from the same school.
"We read each and every essay. We basically went two weeks doing nothing but reading, and it was a joy," she said. "The quality was exceptional, and I enjoyed it."
Although the three Citrus Valley High students were informed that they'd won the contest, where they were placed was kept under wraps until Tuesday's City Council meeting.
"It was great (to find out I won)," Daniel said. "It was also great, too, because Jonathan and Marissa are friends of mine, so that was really exciting."
The Citrus Valley High junior said he'd learned about the contest when Wimer stopped by the school to advertise the contest.
Daniel said he spent several weeks brainstorming ideas before settling on a prompt and writing the essay.
"It was pretty neat to be able to just write an essay about something that's interesting and important like the Constitution," he said.
In addition to taking home the bragging rights, Daniel also received a $1,000 prize.
Jonathan received a cash prize of $500. Marissa received $250.
Wimer said she is hoping the excitement that surrounded this year's contest will roll over to the next.
She said the 4400 Project is working on similar contests for lower grade levels.
The idea is to get people excited about history, she said.
"We want to support the schools, the curriculum and the teachers as best we can and to make history fun - especially our early American history," Wimer said. "And by offering money and prizes, we hope to stimulate that interest and a motivation to learn."
CHVS teacher Vanessa Aranda also took home a prize for being the teacher who submitted the highest quality of essay entries to the contest, Wimer said.
The 4400 Project is a group of local citizens from all walks of life focused on youth and education, with an emphasis on American history.
