This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
VL - In an ideal world I don't have a problem with grid girls using their looks to get a job. The bugger is that the resulting "objectification of women" causes offence to most females and may be a factor in the attitudes that some low-lifes have towards women.
Paul Henry
I would agree with you Timmy - the idea of having sex with someone who was not enamoured of my manly charms - be it a rape or with someone I had to pay is too alien to contemplate
Col Rouge
Timmy A: I know, I know. Thought can be a deadly thing in the wrong hands. Best you leave it to the experts, dearest.
James Wall
Gee P, I wish it was that simple, I really do...........
Dr Jube - Being high on Opinion of the free choice of others to dress and wear what they want is not a characteristic attractive in this modern world.
Col Rouge
Phil H,
James Wall, I find the idea of anyone having to weigh up the pros and cons of committing rape reprehensible (and scary), no matter what decision they come to.
Timmy A
I have been following this in the media with some interest. It seems to me that the players allegedly took advantage of an available opportunity not even considering for a second that it could lead to rape charges. What astounds me is that this girl went back to the players room. Surely most women would have the thought cross their minds (even after a few drinks) that in going willingly to a footballers hotel room they are putting themselves in a potentially risky situation. Even in this so-called enlightened, post-feminist age, women still have to accept the fact that we need to take some responsibility for our own safety. If the girl had taken the player back to her place, or somewhere away from the venue where they would be alone, instead of going back to the hotel room, the (alleged) gang rape by his uninvited team-mates would not have happened.
VL - noone is saying that EVERY woman who cries gangrape is lying. Just that some of them do. What those girls are doing is demeaning the difficult experience that your mother, yourself, and lots of other women have been through.
How is it that grid girls using their looks to get a job are different to sports men using their muscles??
I really think that this forum is becoming a lot of hoo-haa over an extremely rare occurence.
If women behaved then what their status would improve considerably. But they want equality to drink alcohol and exhibit loose behaviour. Is it any wonder they are treated as valueless?
VL: My girl feels perfectly confident walking down the street on her own as I've instructed her to carry a knife and to always go for the eyes. Maybe you could get a 'His and Hers' set for your folks.
James Wall
My mother was raped and didn't report it because she was so humiliated by putting herslef at risk in the first place, so to say that women cry rape to save face is crap.
Gill, I know at least one rapist personally, and know, or have known in the past, at least a half dozen women who have been raped or sexually assaulted.
Phil H
ZIGGY - While personally I don't get the whole groupie thing, and I personally would find it demeaning - that's a personal choice for each woman.
For some its just jealousy because they perceive that they have had to work hard for what they have achieved while others just because they are beautiful are rich and famous. there is no account for how hard they have worked to become rich and famous. Being beautiful does get you aheadand so it should because it is an attribute just like intelligence.
Some men obviously have trouble distinguishing between women who want to have sex with them, and women who don't. Nobody can argue with the fact that the gridgirls are being paid to flaunt their sexuality. They are also paid to accept the leering and the derogatory comments. My worry is that these men will then not be able to tell the difference between a gridgirl and me (and I don't just mean the hotpants). If these men have trouble with the basics, I don't want to make it even more confusing for them!
Cerb, how is 'selling their dignity' as you put it, not demeaning!? I'm not forcing my opinions of morality on them as such and at no point did I say I am speaking for all women. I'm just saying I'm bloody well sick of living in a society that seems to think it is OKAY to objectify women.
Dr Jube
Dr Jube,
Changes in a males perception of women would be hard task to complete.

Historical analysis
This analysis makes use of a heuristic for historical thinking know as SCIM-C developed by David Hicks, Peter Doolittle and Tom Ewing. For more about this historical thinking heuristic please see [1]
Summary of the telegram
In this telegram, Lincoln asked Major General Benjamin Butler to pursue a prisoner exchange for Edward Brooks, and adjunct general from Wisconsin.
The Context for this telegram
Prisoner exchanges were common during the Civil War. The process was often negotiated at high levels, but involved prisoners at all ranks.
General Benjamin Butler was in charge of the Union Army of the James in Virginia and North Carolina. Butler served as a representative in the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts before the war. In the early years of the war, Butler was placed in charge of the Union occupation of New Orleans in 1861.
Edward P. Brooks was an adjunct general from Madison, Wisconsin who commanded troops at the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. Major General Abner Doubleday mentioned Brooks in his report on the Gettysburg battle. "In the Sixth Wisconsin, Adjt. Edward P. Brooks is mentioned for greatly aiding the successful capture of the two regiments in the railroad cut, by throwing a body of men into the cut so as to enfilade the rebel line." [1]
Brooks capture was recorded by James P. Sullivan in a memoir he wrote some years after the war. "Also in November, Edward P. Brooks the handsome young adjunct whose earlier capering had been chronicled was captured. It was another example of comely Southern womanhood who led the Madison lad into his captors' hands." [2]
Butler replied to Lincoln by telegram that same day that he would execute a prisoner exchange right away [3]
Inferences about the telegram
We can infer from this telegram that Lincoln was involved in the process of prisoner exchange. We might also infer that Lincoln was familiar with the Brooks story.
Lincoln might also have been acting on a request from someone else. James P. Sullivan's recounting of the capture of Brooks suggests that his capture was non-military. Lincoln could have been trying to pursue a prisoner exchange because he thought the terms of capture were unfair.

Wanted to grab a quick dinner in Harvard Sq. the other night so ducked into the upstairs, casual Z Square to check it out (the downstairs fancy spot, which I peeked at, looked like a pleasant place for a cocktail at the very least). As a New Orleans food lover, I went for the muffelata sandwich. It was very tasty, but I wouldn't call it a muffelata, at least none like I've ever had before. For starters, it came warm, with melted cheese -- that wasn't a surprise, since it was listed in the hot sandwich section of the menu, but it served to alert me that we were in non-traditional territory here. What disappointed me, however, was the olive spread, which was layed on thin like mayonnaise and had little olive flavor and not a hint of garlic. So what you have is a tasty hot Italian cold cut sandwich with cheese, but nothing, I believe, that anyone from New Orleans would recognize as a muffelata. I give Z Square credit for the thought -- it's some sort of an achievement that muffelata's are now being sold around Boston at all, even though I'm sure 99 per cent of the local population never heard of 'em -- but I can't understand the olive salad deficit, since the muffelata's specialness comes from a heavy helping of oily, garlicky olive stuff. I did enjoy the side dish of potato salad, which is homemade with little red potato halves in a sweet-ish curry dressing (you can get apple slaw, which sounds interesting, or a green salad instead of the potato salad if you prefer).
I still haven't made it over to the Allstar sandwich bar to try their muffelata, but my curiosity is now aroused. Gotta give it a try, assuming it's still on the menu.

Oldsmobile Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
hi, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will try to help you .
yeah, there is only two things that will do this when the coil pack is only sparking from a few coils or even just one of the towers is not sparking.
that is the coil pack itself or the module ,since you have replaced the coil pack the module would be at fault..
you can ohm out the coil pack using an ohm meter .on each of the coil pairs that is like 2&5-3&6 or 1&4 the meter should read around 5.8 ohms or close to that . since you already replaced the coil pack twice the module (ignition) is bad .
you can get the ignition module checked for free at autozone .not sure if other parts stores have the tester but autozone does .this will test the module under different loads and heat testing ...jazzmaster...

Yankees' general manager, Brian Cashman, has shot down rumors mentioning the singer has been banned from the team clubhouse following June 18 inicdent, saying 'She's not banned.'
A representative for the New York Yankees has shot down reports Lady GaGa has been banned from the team clubhouse after allegedly infuriating baseball bosses with her drunken behavior on Friday night, June 18. The "Poker Face" hitmaker, a lifelong Yankees fan, joined star players including Ronson Cano for drinks inside the team's clubhouse after they lost the Subway Series game 4-0 to the New York Mets.
The New York Post claimed an inebriated GaGa, who was scantily dressed in a Yankees shirt worn over black underwear with fishnet stockings, had angered team bosses by talking her way into the private lounge after the game. The tabloid went on to allege the singer stunnned sportsmen by groping her breasts over her jersey before leaving via a private exit.
News of GaGa's raunchy antics quickly reached the Yankees' top executives and co-chairman Hal Steinbrenner was reportedly so angry at the revelation, he'd notified all staff at Yankee Stadium that the eccentric pop star is no longer welcome in the clubhouse. But the Yankees' general manager, Brian Cashman, dismissed the claims, telling ESPN, "She's not banned. Celebrities aren't banned."
Acknowledging the singer's presence at the venue on Friday, Cashman adds, "There is just a time and place. It is not her fault." It's not the first time the singer has hit the headlines at a baseball game, GaGa caused controversy in early June when she attended a match between the Mets and the visiting San Diego Padres, when she demanded a seat change after noticing photographers snapping her every move.
She was moved to comedian Jerry Seinfeld's vacant box but proceeded to take off her leather jacket to reveal her underwear and then began to flip her middle finger at the snappers down below.

As Obamacare Problems Mount, HHS Secretary to Visit San Antonio
As questions continue to swirl around the HealthCare.gov Obamacare web site, and political pressure mounts on the Obama Administration over the bungled health care rollout, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius, who is in the hot seat over Obamacare, will attend a forum in San Antonio today, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Mayor Castro, who will accompany the embattled secretary, says it is a good move, because there are some 300,000 people in the city along who are uninsured.
"We want them to have health insurance, so they don't have to use the emergency room as their primary care physician," Castro said.
Castro will be joined by County Judge Nelson Wolff, who is also a huge supporter of Obamacare, in a talk at a south side medical clinic which the White House says is part of a tour of the ten cities in America with the largest number of uninsured residents. Sibelius will also travel to Austin as part of her trip.
"It is important that local governments do everything we can to make sure that people have the information and resources they need," Castro said.
Sibelius is certain to get peppered with questions about the disastrous rollout of HealthCare.gov, and allegations that the government dropped the ball on unveiling the President's signature domestic policy priority to the public.

Compliance Requirements for 2013.
Over the past few years the printed circuit board industry has had numerous regulatory and compliance initiatives forced upon it. Some of these may have been well intentioned but the unintended results have yet to be realized. For example, many of us are familiar with RoHS, Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. The directive restricts the use of several substances by manufacturers. The only substance restriction that really affected the printed circuit board industry was Lead. Tin-Lead solder was used in the industry for decades. RoHS sought to remove Lead from the electronics industry. Many people recall how harmful Lead in gasoline and paint proved to be to both the environment and the human condition. Removing Lead from electronics would sound like a good idea. Right?
The decision to remove lead from electronics was made by politicians and administrators. It was not based on science or any quantifiable evidence. There have been no documented cases where solder used in electronics composed of Tin-Lead have proven harmful to the environment or to the human condition. The frustrating point of this line of thinking is that the Lead-Free solder alternatives are harmful and are able to leach into the environment. Click here to access a paper published by the IPC located on their web site. The effect of questionable alternatives to Tin-Lead solders on the environment is one negative. The effect on product reliability and longevity is another negative. Phenolic cured grades of FR-4 that are able to survive the higher temperatures of Lead-Free soldering are mechanically weaker than the traditional grades of dicey-cured FR-4 we have used for decades. Lead-Free solder joints are more brittle. The reliability and longevity of Lead-Free solder joints has yet to be determined. The Lead-Free soldering process is also more damaging to the printed circuit boards and assembled components due to the higher soldering temperatures and time at temperature required to form the solder joints. (Can someone explain to me why we did all this in the first place?)
The burden of the compliance effort for RoHS on the printed circuit board industry resulted in millions of dollars of non-value added spending by manufactures to comply with a directive where the cure is obviously more harmful than the diagnosis. That leads me into the point of this blog post. What new directives and regulations do we have to look forward to in regards to non-value added costs placed upon the industry in 2013…
- RoHS2
- Conflict Minerals
- Ozone Depleting Chemicals
These are just a few that come to mind. I've added REACH/SVHC to the list. It has been in place for years but the EU keeps expanding upon it.

Vienna (AFP) Jan 31, 2013
Arnold Schwarzenegger called Thursday for an end to "doom and gloom" environmentalism as he hosted the first conference of his new green movement fostering action by local governments and individuals.
"If we want to inspire the world, it is time for us to forget about the old way of talking about climate change, where we crush people, where we overwhelm people with data," the former California governor, bodybuilder and film star said.
"There is a new way, a more sexy, a more hip way. Instead of using doom and gloom and telling people what they can't do, we should make them part of our movement and tell them what they can do," he said.
"I mean I still drive my Hummers but now they are all on hydrogen and biofuel ... We need to send a message that we can live the same life, just with cleaner technology."
Following his success implementing environmental legislation in California ahead of federal US action, Schwarzenegger's created the R20 Regions of Climate Action movement in 2010.
It is aimed at getting other regions, states and cities to follow the Golden State's example in the absence of effective national and international agreements on reducing carbon emissions widely blamed for the Earth's climate becoming more volatile in recent decades.
"The old way was to wait for the capitals, or an international agreement to create a sustainable energy future, is over," Schwarzenegger, 65, told the conference of around 800 people in his native Austria.
"We believe in a new way, in moving forward at a subnational level. We can't be paralysed, waiting for an international agreement or federal action or anything else," Schwarzenegger said.
"I believe we should move forward at a subnational level, in the states, in the provinces, in the cities, in the private sector, in the academic sector and in the non-profits. These should be defined by our momentum, not our hesitation."
Attendees in Vienna included Jose Manuel Barroso, European Commission president, but absent were green pressure groups such as Greenpeace or WWF, who complained last week that the event risked being "elitist" and "Greenwashing".

Investigators believe a small plane that crashed in the Alabama woods was taken without permission for a joyride by a student pilot and two other teenagers who died in the wreck Tuesday night. Walker County sheriff's Chief Deputy James Painter said Wednesday authorities are still investigating but believe the three teenagers took off in the plane before it went down in a wooded area near Jasper, northwest of Birmingham. "We don't know for sure but we think it was some teenagers who stole the plane and were sort of joyriding it," Painter told The Associated Press. "They got it in and took off and didn't go very far." Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the Piper PA 30 crashed less than a mile from the Walker County Airport in Jasper

There's a new Trojan going round - this time using Skype.
The German version of it comes with Skype messages (in German language) "aren't these photos from you ?" - and links, which direct towards a site which has a name with looks similar to google - but only at first glance.
And this is the newest trend in Virus-making : Adressing people
, with their exact
personal names
I recently had a Trojan embedded in an personally adressed ( yes, they used my personal real name ! ) billing message over several hundred Euros, together with an aggressive language ( meant to switch off pepople's Logik ! ) claiming that they would send an Inkasso bureau after me if I wouldn't pay this …
The E-Mail's attachment contained a Trojan in .com form, which was embedded twice in an .ZIP container.
Trojan makers explicitely use emotional, aggressive writings to make people literally "loose their heads".
Because in an
emotionally unstable
state, people not only do mass shootings, but they also klick on EVERY message link/button/attachment…
And Trojan/Virus makers are HUGE fans of the
"shock moment"
approach !
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. (E.F.Schumacher, Economist,

Two men have died in the unrest that broke out in Honduras after deposed President Manuel Zelaya made a surprise return here two days ago, police said Wednesday.
One man died Wednesday in hospital after being injured in clashes with anti-riot police the previous night, said Orlin Cerrato, spokesman of the National Police.
"We don't know how the other person died," Cerrato said, adding that the victim had been involved in a protest against the June 28 coup.
Deposed President Manuel Zelaya is hunkered down at the Brazilian embassy in Honduras with dwindling supplies as soldiers fired tear gas at protestors outside.
Zelaya's surprise return on Monday, almost three months after he was ousted, spun the Central American nation into chaos and threw it into the spotlight, just as world leaders gathered at the UN General Assembly in New York.
United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon announced the withdrawal of election assistance to the crisis-hit Central American nation, saying conditions were not favorable for the poll set for November.
Throughout the day, power was restored and water allowed to flow again inside the embassy, but food was in short supply.
Outside, thousands of red-clad Zelaya supporters poured onto the streets of the capital Tegucigalpa in one of the largest pro-Zelaya demonstrations since the president's June 28 ouster that was backed by the military.
Heavily-armed riot police and soldiers detained an unknown number of protesters after clashes broke out.
Hundreds more flocked to gas stations and supermarkets to stock up during a brief respite from a nationwide curfew.
Zelaya told AFP he sought face-to-face talks with de facto leader Roberto Micheletti on restoring his presidency.
"That's the goal, to talk personally with him -- not only with him, but also with the political and economic groups in the country," Zelaya said by telephone from the embassy.
Micheletti offered late Tuesday to hold direct talks with Zelaya if he recognized the validity of the November 29 elections, but the ousted leader dismissed that offer as "manipulation."
The United States meanwhile welcomed an invitation by the interim leaders -- who shut down airports and imposed curfews after Zelaya's return -- for senior international diplomats to visit the country.
State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said de facto foreign minister Carlos Lopez Contreras had invited "a representative group of foreign ministers" from members of the Organization of American States (OAS) to go to Tegucigalpa for talks.
"We welcome that announcement and we look forward to supporting that initiative," Kelly said.
In New York, Argentine President Cristina Kirchner called for a "strong, precise multilateral strategy" to return democracy to Honduras.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva demanded that Zelaya be restored to power immediately, and Brazil has asked the Security Council to take up the Honduran crisis.
The country's embassy now lies at the center of a tense waiting game to see how long the occupants can hold out.
Most access to the embassy had been denied, although US embassy vehicles removed some Brazilian staff on Tuesday.
Honduran writer Milton Benitez, a staunch Zelaya supporter in the embassy, complained of deteriorating conditions.
"We're still wearing the same clothing, we haven't been able to bathe," Benitez said, calling the conditions "sub-human."
Some exhausted Zelaya supporters inside stood guard all night long, wary of a possible attack on the building by troops, though Micheletti's government Tuesday insisted they would not enter the compound by force.
The European Union told the interim government to respect the "physical integrity" of Zelaya and the inviolability of the embassy.
Amnesty International meanwhile expressed alarm at the escalating tension in Honduras, saying human rights and the rule of law were at "grave risk."
The London-based rights group called for the authorities to end their reported crackdown on Zelaya supporters.
The cowboy-hatted deposed president veered to the left after his election to a single term in 2005, influenced by fellow leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
The army sent Zelaya away at gunpoint during the coup, backed by the country's courts and congress, amid a fierce dispute over his plans to change the constitution.

The Alexandra Theatre, George Street, Hull
Above - An early photograph of the Alexandra Theatre, Hull - Courtesy David Fewster
The Alexandra Theatre in George Street, Hull was designed by Thomas Guest who also designed the Carlton Theatre, Birmingham. The Theatre opened on Boxing day 1902 with Frederick Moyes and Edith Cole in a production of 'A Royal Divorce'. This was preceded by the National Anthem played by the Theatre's own orchestra under the direction of Alfred Rhodes. Two performances were put on for the opening day, one in the afternoon and another in the evening, in which the owner of the Theatre, William Morton, made a speech thanking the crowded house for coming to the opening of the new Alexandra Theatre. The acting manager for the Theatre was Morton's son, George.

The exterior of the Alexandra was constructed in the Renaissance style with bright red bricks and terra cotta dressings, and the main entrance to the Theatre was on George Street, although there were also entrances to the Gallery and Pit from Bourne Street, and exits to Mason Street. The exterior also had a tower on its George Street and Bourne Street corner which was fitted with a powerful search light and must have been visible for miles around.
The Theatre's auditorium, which was lit by electricity from the start, was constructed on four levels, stalls and pit, dress circle, family gallery, and gallery, and could accommodate 2,200 people seated and a further 500 standing. The auditorium also had a large glass and iron sliding roof which could be opened for ventilation. The Theatre was equipped with a large stage with a proscenium opening of 36 foot wide and enough dressing rooms to provide accommodation for large touring productions.
The Alexandra Theatre was a casualty of the Second World War when it was destroyed by enemy action in 1941.
A visitor to this site, Pat Clark' says:- ''My great grandad came to Hull to work at the Alexandra theatre, I think between 1906 and 1908. He was a stage carpenter. His youngest daughter, who is now deceased, told me that he came to stage manage. His name was Augustus George Thomas Haecker." - Pat Clark.
And another visitor to the site, Jonathan Bohman, says:- 'My great uncle, Harry Thornton, played at the Alexandria Theatre, Hull - sorry, don't have a date. He played piano and his wife Emmie (Wagner) sang. I'm not sure how they were billed and I don't think they were ever a 'big act', however Harry is famous for his grave in Highgate cemetery which is shaped like a grand piano. He died in 1918 - Spanish flu.' - Jonathan Bohman.

We think the photograph must have been taken between 1932 and 1937. My Dad was Leader of the New Theatre, Oxford during my early years.'

Newlyweds Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley
Katherine and Josh Care For All Their Four-Legged Friends
Newlyweds Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley took their many (how many? Pet got to the bottom of it) doggies of all shapes and sizes to the vet in LA yesterday afternoon before heading out at night to celebrate Josh's birthday. It looks like one of their pups is having some trouble getting out of the back of the car these days, poor baby. Katherine may be starting to talk about kids, but it looks like she and Josh definitely have their hands full of leashes for the time being. Hopefully all their pooches are having a good time getting accustomed to their unknown diggs since the couple finally moved into their newly finished home over the weekend. Hopefully she has a chance to sit back and enjoy it for a second before her next project — she just signed on to star in the romantic comedy, The Ugly Truth, alongside Gerard Butler. Lucky lucky girl.

text: I live in Greenville, SC and always make a traditional southern style Thanksgiving meal. I'm thinking about switching things up this year and cooking a SW style meal. I have some thoughts of putting together a rub for the turkey of some combination of kosher salt, black pepper, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, perhaps garlic powder and lime mixed with butter. I need some recipes for a SW cornbread dressing, maybe a potato dish (twice baked potatoes with green chiles or jalapenos seems appealing) or some macaroni dish, also some sort of corn dish (I'm thinking Corn Maque Choux though I know that it's actually a Cajun dish), maybe some deviled eggs with avocado (though I'm not sure if that is a good flavor combination) and some sort of dessert. I'm also considering jalapeno pimento cheese stuffed celery. I also love LeSeur peas and wonder if there's some way to southwesternize those. And my favorite part of the TG meal is the turkey, dressing and gravy. I can't figure out any way to create a gravy for this style of turkey. Does anyone have any recipe suggestions.

When grocery shopping, Lori, her husband Roger, and their three children – 12-year-old daughter Claire, 10-year-old son Ross, and 6-year-old son Dale – always take time to read the labels. "We initially read labels because of food allergies. In doing so we became aware of how highly processed so much of our food is. Checking the ingredients before making a choice made us realize that certain foods aren't the best things to have, so we stopped buying them."
Lori also finds that just putting less on their plate keeps family members from eating more than they need. "When I grill chicken, instead of putting five chicken breasts on the table, I slice them all up first. This way, we're inclined to take less but there's always more if we want it."
When it comes to treats, Lori follows the same principles. "We buy a lot of fruits and vegetables at local farms and markets in the summer and freeze them for use all year," she explains. Lori knows frozen fruits and vegetables have just as much nutritional value as fresh ones, and that they make a great fun, healthy snack. "On hot summer days the kids actually love to go into the freezer and grab some frozen peas, corn, or fruit."

Re: All componens different
Hi Wolfgang,
How about this ...?
d[v_] := Length[v] == Length[Union[v]]
If you want to verify that the list consists of natural numbers, you'll
have to put in that constraint in your definition of v.
Best regards,
David Carraher
Given a list v of natural numbers I'm looking for a function d[v_] that
returns True if all components are different and False otherwise.
One solution is
d1[v_] := ! Or @@ Flatten[Table[v[[i]] == v[[k]], {i, 1, Length[v]},
{k, i + 1, Length[v]}]]
Can you find more efficient (and elegant) solutions?

It was ghastly, like watching Wackford Squeers thrashing Smike at Dotheboys Hall. She had to appear first before the select committee for culture, media and sport, which is headed by Gerald Kaufman, who, as Gerry K, Britain's most aggressive chat show host, has been eating culture secretaries as a lunchtime appetiser for years now.
Then she almost ran from the committee room to the chamber, where it was the turn of the Tories to beat her with bamboo rods.
Gerry K tried to sound polite - always a mistake. He doesn't do polite. He kept calling her "secretary of state", which might have been courteous the first time, but constantly repeated began to sound like sarcasm.
The gist of his refrain was that Sport England, a quango responsible to Ms Jowell's department, had "flung" £120m of lottery loot at the Wembley national stadium people, who had ignored all the rules for spending public money. Meanwhile, Sport England had allowed them to go their merry way, "without lifting a finger to monitor how the money was spent".
Now it was too late, the new stadium was still a distant dream, and - this was implied if not stated - it was all Ms Jowell's fault for being asleep at the wheel.
"Secretary of state, that is examining the lock on the stable door long after the horse has bolted ... Sport England should have been vigilant. In fact they were slack to the point of scandal!"
It was all a "total disgrace". There had been a "deplorable response" to the charges of "serious culpability and negligence".
And, he concluded, since Sport England had to report to her department, "if they will not answer for the way in which they have conducted themselves, then the miasma of Sport England is cast - upon the government!"
Gerry K's act is familiar, but nonetheless loved by the fans. For example, we get a tear-jerking moment from the annals of his deprived Gorton constituency, where the same Sport England had refused to fund a sports hall "for a fraction of the money they have flung at Wembley!"
Ms Jowell remained calm and declined to be drawn into the shouting match Gerry wanted. (Usually, like his near-namesake Jerry Springer, he stirs the fight then stands back as if it was nothing to do with him.)
Next she had to appear in front of the Commons where she said that things might look bad, but were actually getting better.
Few believed her, and the Tories jeered almost every line. She was fortunate, though, that the opposition was led by Anne McIntosh instead of her boss, Tim Yeo.
She praised Gerry K (these Jowell-baiters stick together) which went down well with Gerry K, but spoiled her assault by reading it in a flat monotone with many pauses, so that when she asked rhetorically: "Where does that leave Birmingham and Coventry?" even the doziest Labour members had time to yell: "In the West Midlands!"
She ended: "Precisely how many more drinks will Wembley enjoy in the Last Chance Saloon?"
Inside poor Ms Jowell, something snapped. "I am sure - and I mean no disrespect - that you wish your senior colleague was present, because that was a pretty PATHETIC contribution!"
She must have felt a lot happier after that.

Slide tile under door casings
When installing floor tile in a finished room, it's better to slide the tile under door casings rather than fit it around them. You'll end up with a better-looking floor. If you butt the tiles against the casings (Photo 1), you'll usually end up with uneven gaps that you have to fill with grout. The gaps won't look good, and chances are the grout will crack from the vibration caused by the closing door.
Cutting the casings is fairly easy and only takes a few minutes if you have a sharp handsaw or special "jamb" saw. Simply place a tile next to each casing, add 1/8 in. for the adhesive thickness (use 1/8-in.-thick cardboard as a guide), mark the casings and saw at the mark. Sliding the tiles under the casings eliminates the need for grout and hides the cut edges (Photo 2).

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/8/2011 (2169 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WILL someone please represent Glenboro and Cypress River on the Prairie Spirit school board?
The area's trustee stepped down for medical reasons earlier this year and, so far, an extensive search for a replacement has been fruitless.
"We've advertised twice for the ward," superintendent Don Hurton said from Pilot Mound.
Alas, no one stepped forward, so Prairie Spirit extended an appeal to anyone living in the entire far-flung division. "We've been advertising to appoint anyone from another ward," Hurton said.
Again, no takers to represent the ward from anyone in Cartwright or Pilot Mound or Treherne or Baldur, or anywhere else in Prairie Spirit.
The next move will be to call the provincial department of education "to find out what our next step is," Hurton said.
All nine trustees were acclaimed in last fall's municipal election, Hurton said, which is not unusual.
The 311 school board seats across Manitoba were the least-contested in memory -- there were 149 acclamations and 11 seats had no one running to fill them.
Turtle Mountain superintendent Larry Rainnie said his division eventually filled a vacant seat in Killarney this year when a search committee finally found a taker.
Portage la Prairie School Division found itself in a weird situation, said assistant superintendent and secretary-treasurer Mike Mauws.
A candidate last fall was acclaimed for a seat at the nomination deadline, but that would-be trustee immediately resigned. Seems her employer does business with the division and didn't want to create a conflict of interest.
Other sources said that in small towns it's tough to find a working person whose employer doesn't provide goods or services to the school division, but the employer insisted.
Portage la Prairie held a byelection, with the only candidate acclaimed.
More than three months after Joyce Bateman became an MP in the federal election, Winnipeg School Division has not even scheduled a byelection to replace her.
But out in Minnedosa, Rolling River S.D. wasted no time in scheduling a Sept. 6 byelection to fill a vacant seat in the area that includes Elton, Forrest and Duncan. Sabrina Bornkesse and Ron Rioux are running to succeed Daniel Mazier, who resigned in the spring.
Mazier said he resigned both for work reasons and because his youngest child graduated in June. "I no longer had kids in the system, so I thought I'd give someone else a chance," said Mazier.
Brandon trustee Jim Murray is running in the Oct. 4 provincial election. He's taking a leave of absence from the school board but doesn't have to resign his seat unless he wins provincially.
Louis Riel trustee Mike Ducharme is going to run in the St. Vital city council byelection -- to replace Gord Steeves, who is leaving council to run provincially -- and city officials advise that Ducharme must resign his school board seat before he can register as a council candidate, a prerequisite to being nominated.
The city says there would be savings to running the St. Vital and Louis Riel byelections on the same day and even some statutory advertising costs could be reduced if the WSD byelection were also held that day.

Any four-year-old kid in Lebanon, and certainly in the Shi'ite community, knows who was responsible for Thursday's attack in Hezbollah's Dahieh stronghold of Beirut that killed at least 18 people. You don't need to be an intelligence operative or a Middle East analyst to recognize that extremist Sunni groups operating as part of the Syrian opposition made good on their promise to strike at Hezbollah and its supporters on their home turf.
This was a response to the dominant involvement of Hezbollah in the fighting against the rebels in Syria. On Thursday evening, the "Brigade of Aisha" even issued a statement of responsibility to make it crystal clear to Hezbollah why it carried out the car bombing.
And yet despite this, a whole host of Lebanese politicians, not all of them Sh'iites, rushed to charge that Israel was involved. These allegations are ridiculous and in Lebanon too are considered an insult to the intelligence — even when they come from President Michel Suleiman, who claimed that the blast bore the fingerprints of the Israelis, or from Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, one of the Middle East's great opportunists, who leveled similarly ridiculous charges.
The reason for these claims is obvious: These politicians, including Suleiman, are worried that an attack like this will prompt a particularly violent Hezbollah retaliation. In pointing the finger at Israel, they are trying to manufacture a common enemy for all Lebanese. Suleiman, who only days ago demanded the disarming of Hezbollah, understands that an attack like this in Dahieh could eventually lead to a complete takeover by the Shi'ite Hezbollah in Lebanon and a cleaning out of all pockets of opposition — be they Sunni extremists or rival politicians.
Like many in Lebanon, Suleiman recognizes that the Syrian civil war, which has intermittently seeped into Lebanon, on Thursday escalated to a still more dangerous level for his country. It was notable that the internet site of Hezbollah's TV station Al-Manar was quick to publicize comments by the organization's number 2, Naim Qassem, who said that Israel is deterred from confrontation with Hezbollah "and checks itself a thousand times over before risking any aggression against us." This was Hezbollah telling all those politicians, and its own people, that, no, Israel isn't the problem right now.
But Hezbollah does not have too many good options right now. For a start, it doesn't have a clear target to attack or punish.
The car bombing was not a particular surprise. Hezbollah only recently told its men to be on the alert in Shi'ite areas for fear of suicide bombers, car bombs or missile attacks. Evidently this didn't help.
Thursday was one of the harshest terror attacks Hezbollah has ever suffered. And it does not reflect well on the ostensible wisdom of Hezbollah's secretary general Hassan Nasrallah. This purported strategic genius made a foolish mistake when he ordered his men two years ago to increase their involvement fighting alongside Bashar Assad's forces in Syria; a similar mistake to the one he made in 2006 when he approved the kidnapping of Israel soldiers that led to the Second Lebanon War.
Right now in Lebanon, the Hezbollah-affiliated TV channel Al Mayadeen has been broadcasting nightly episodes of a series dedicated to that war, which happened to end precisely seven years ago. Nasrallah himself is interviewed in the final episodes and restates his assertion of Hezbollah victory. He appears to have forgotten his acknowledgement immediately after the war that the kidnappings had been a mistake and that, if he had known the price that Lebanon would pay, he would not have approved them.
It's fair to assume that on Thursday night, too, Nasrallah was internalizing the scale of the mistake he made when he caved in to Iranian pressure and agreed to send his forces to fight alongside Assad's in Syria. Thursday's car bombing was only the beginning for those terror groups associated with al-Qaeda who see the Shi'ites — no less than the Jews and Christians — as their enemy.
Nasrallah may even be starting to realize that he is now at odds with the only people in the Middle East whose mindset may be even more pernicious than his own.

Just last week, author S.U. Pacat announced her Captive Prince novels will be published by Penguin. Pacat notes that this will be the publisher's "first m/m romance paperback release." The final book in the trilogy will be published in both trade paperback and e-book.
Long before this development, Mandi from Smexybooks was championing the series. Here's why:
I don't normally seek out fantasy books, but when I received several recommendations for Pacat's Captive Prince series, I decided to try it out. A planned trilogy, Captive Prince: Volume One and Volume Two are already out, with Volume Three eagerly anticipated as the second book ends on a cliffhanger. Pacat not only writes and builds an amazing world, but she gives us two heroes who start as such great enemies and eventually will have a happily ever after. It's really quite amazing how she writes this story.
Damen, a prince and the rightful heir to the throne of Akielos, gets drugged, kidnapped, and sent into enemy territory as a slave. He gets sent to the court in Vere, and is now owned by Prince Laurent. Laurent is an ice-cold, frigid twenty-year-old, and in less than a year, will rise to become King. No one in Vere knows Damen's true identity, thinking he is just another slave, or that Damen killed Laurent's brother on the battlefield years ago. This death devastated Laurent, and he has vowed revenge against Damen. If he only knew he now owned him.
From here, Damen is truly treated as a slave and there are definitely some brutal scenes in Volume One, but I also felt they were very important to the story. By all accounts, Damen is the wronged man. He is the slave, and as the reader you immediately root for him to escape Laurent's clutches. But this is where the brilliance of the author emerges. Because ever so slowly, without you even realizing it, she makes Laurent a person with whom you also sympathize. She makes him vulnerable. And Damen comes to realize this, too. They both start to have a common enemy and they are forced to work together to outwit those around them.
After I finished Volume One, I thought, Wow that was a good book. But then I read Volume Two and I was really blown away. It has such a huge payoff. Pacat peels back these really complicated layers of both characters, but especially Laurent. All of a sudden you can't imagine Damen with anyone else, and while it takes quite a long time to get there, the romance between Damen and Laurent does happen and is worth the wait. And the twists she throws into the book will have you screaming and smiling all the way until the end.
These two still have a long ways to go, though. I hesitate to speculate about Volume Three, because Volume Two ends with such a jaw-dropping moment. But I can't wait to unveil all the secrets, see what other twists and turns await, and finally get that happy ever after that these two so deserve.
Have you read the Captive Prince? If you haven't, what are you waiting for?
Mandi Schreiner from Smexy Books.
