Knock Sensor #4
I have a fault code, and it's for this. I had knock sensor #4 replaced, and the code still persists, can anyone help me out I didn't get much of a response on bf.c
Where is knock sensor#4? On my M62 engine, I know there are two under the intake manifold on either side of the valley pan gasket. They would be very difficult to replace.
Please help... still ongoing!
F.Y.I. knock sensors are basically microphones listening to your motor.If not properly torqued to specifications it may be over sensitive or send erroneous signals.I would check the connectors and follow it all the way to the DME.Simple continuity test from end to end eliminates the thought of any broken wires.Since you stated that they were replaced and still persists,the next step is to check your harness and the DME.I have seen cases where the thermostat (map cooling) connector craps out and can carry coolant that seeps through the wire insulation all the way to the DME drowning it with coolant.
Will def check that out coolant was everywhere, before I did the cooling system, and even after theres the smell of it. I'm guessing the process to check isn't very DIY ?
NOW, in the past 2 weeks the following have been replaced by the dealer under warranty in order to remedy this: MAF, VANOS, Knock Sensors, Air Intake Temp sensor, fuel system clean (seafoam) Nothing, i mean NOTHING has deleted the pinging.
And finally my question is.... Would the OXYGEN SENSORS be at fault? EVEN THOUGH there's no rough idling; no poor gas mileage; no codes.
The car has 90,000 on the clock. Could these "tired" O2 sensors be causing my pinging/detonation/pre-ignition?
Should i have them replaced???
Thank you in advance for your expert advice! :)
4 knock sensors on V8
Item #19 in the above link.
Replacing the knock sensors on the 540i is a royal pain in the butt.
There are 4 knock sensors. They are located in the V of the motor on both banks. Replacing them involves removing the intake manifold. If you need to replace the knock sensors on bank 2 (driver side head) you must drain the coolant, disconnect the water manifold on the back of the motor to remove the 2 long coolant pipes that run between the heads below the intake manifold. The bolts on the knock sensors will not clear these pipes.
If you are doing the knock sensors, you might was well replace your valley pan gasket, water manifold gaskets, o-rings, intake manifold gaskets and your CCV. The parts for all of that will run you a decent sum of money.... Then about 6 or so hours of labor on top of that.
Was the knock sensor installed BACKWARD???
1228 Knock Sensor 4 This code is set when Knock Sensor #4 has sent multiple signals or a break or short has occurred in the sensor or its wiring. Check the Knock Sensor and its wiring for defects. Check the grade of fuel being used (RON>91). Increase octane if necessary.
People make mistake.
Experienced doctors make mistakes (removing wrong kidney etc.).
I don't know, just a guess on human errors.
True but they spent 2 hours troubleshooting it so, I'd hope he would have checked. the CEL was also on before it was replaced.
Then it is wiring issue. Check for broken wiring or conatminated with coolant.
I am confused.
If the shop did all the work, they should be the one chasing the Knock sensor code # 4 for you.
How long ago did they do the work?
You might want to post a message on www.bimmerboard.com and ask for "Jim Cash"...he is the guru overthere.
Another thought:
1. Clear the code using a scanner or OBD-II tool. See if it comes back.
2. This is from 740i M62 intake job but the knock sensors are mentioned in Figure 4:
I think the first thing you have to do is figure out where knock sensor#4 is. IIRC, there are only two near the valley pan.
Anything vibrating in the same frequency of spectrum that a knock sensor is designed can trigger the knock sensor.
Knock sensors picked up a binding water pump and tried to adjust the engine accordingly. Made the entire car rock at idle! Let's just say anyone who rode in the car at that time was less than impressed with the crown jewel of the BMW line-up! The defecytive WP can barely be turned by hand.
And in typical fashion that incident was followed shortly with a failed radiator!
What is your year and mileage?
WP original???
If you haven't done the cooling system overhaul, here is the info:
I used to have the same problem in my (now sold) 1996 VW Passat, the knock sensor (also made by BOSCH) was replaced 4 times by the dealer and still the same problem. A known issue in the 96 Passat. The engine otherwise was running fine.
Perhaps they designed the knock sensor a bit on the sensitive side, so any little vibration knocking set it off???
Sometimes it is very difficult, if not impossible, to find the root cause.
As long as the engine runs fine, there is no urgency to solve it right away but you have time to play detective work for the next few weeks and months.
Your other option is swap sensor between let's say #3 and #4, so now if the engine code turns into knock sensor #3 code then you know the wiring for #4 is OK, but rather the sensor is defective.
There are 2 strings of 2 sensors under the intake mainifold, so yes a total of 4. The cover, fuel injectors and rails and intake have to come out to get to them. They bolt down in the valley. The drivers side is cylinder 1-4 and the passenger side is 5-8.
Another thought: sp plugs, did you use the 4-prong??? Try OEM NGK.
This kind of detective work requires alot of patience and persistence!!!!!!
Back in the old days, when cars ran on carburator, we never have to worry about this crap...haha!

AgammaglobulinemiaBruton's agammaglobulinemia; X-linked agammaglobulinemia
Agammaglobulinemia is disorder passed down through families in which a person hasvery low levels of protective immune system proteins called immunoglobulins. Immunoglobulins are a type of antibody. Low levels of these antibodies make you more likely to get infections.
Agammaglobulinemia is a rare disorder that mainly affects males. It is caused by a gene defectthat blocks the growth of normal, mature immune cells called B lymphocytes.
As a result, the body makes very little (if any) immunoglobulins in the bloodstream. Immunoglobulins play a major role in the immune response, which protects against illness and infection.
Persons with agammaglobulinemia repeatedly develop infections, especially bacterial infections such as Hemophilus influenzae, pneumococci (Streptococcus pneumoniae), and staphylococci. Common sites of infection include:
- Gastrointestinal tract
- Joints
- Lungs
- Skin
- Upper respiratory tract
Agammaglobulinemia is inherited, which means other people in your family may have the condition.
Symptoms include frequent episodes of:
- Bronchitis
- Chronic diarrhea
- Conjunctivitis (eye infection)
- Otitis media (middle ear infection)
- Pneumonia
- Sinusitis
- Skin infections
- Upper respiratory tract infections
Infections typically appear in the first 4 years of life.
Other symptoms include:
- Bronchiectasis (a disease in which the small air sacs in the lungs become damaged and enlarged)
- Unexplained asthma
Exams and Tests
The disorder is confirmed by laboratory measurement of blood immunoglobulins.
Tests include:
- Flow cytometry to measure circulating B lymphocytes
- Immunoelectrophoresis - serum
- Quantitative immunoglobulins - IgG, IgA, IgM (usually measured by nephelometry)
Treatment involves taking steps to reduce the number and severity of infections. You will receive immunoglobulins through a vein (IVIG), which boosts your immune system.
Antibiotics are often needed to treat bacterial infections.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Treatment with IVIG has greatly improved the health of those who have agammaglobulinemia.
Without treatment, most severe infections are deadly.
Possible Complications
- Arthritis
- Chronic sinus or pulmonary disease
- Eczema
- Intestinal malabsorption syndromes
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
- You or your child has experienced frequent infections
- You have a family history of agammaglobulinemia or another immunodeficiency disorder and you are planning to have children (ask the provider about genetic counseling)
Genetic counseling should be offered to prospective parents with a family history of agammaglobulinemia or other immunodeficiency disorders.

The band liked the way the second season ended in March this year and won't spoil the Emmy-nominated show with a third season.
Flight of the Conchords decide that it is time to go back to their roots in 2010. The New Zealand band who play fictionalized version of themselves on "Flight of the Conchords" would not return for a third season in order to concentrate on their music tour.
"We've noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won't be returning for a third season," the pair wrote at their website. "We're very proud of the two seasons we made, and we like the way the show ended."
Thanking fans for watching it for two seasons, the band said, "While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine [Clement] will continue to exist."
Despite ending the show, Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie said in an interview with NME that there could be a movie version. "I don't know if it's officially dead, but I think it'd be more likely that we'd do a film or something like that," he said.
Now that the HBO show is not in production, the band are free to visit countries for a tour. "We toured North America earlier this year, and we are planning to tour Europe in the New Year, yeah," McKenzie added.

A rugged defender whose versatility served Bill Shankly well, Ferns was born in Liverpool and signed professional forms for his local club in September 1957.
Aged 19, he was unable to force his way into the first-team until the 1962-63 season when he briefly covered for Tommy Leishman (three times) and Ronnie Moran (twice) as Liverpool returned to the top division after an eight-year absence.
When the club won the League Championship for the sixth time in 1964, Phil played in enough games (18) to qualify for a winners' medal but was only selected on four more occasions the following season before being transferred to Bournemouth in August 1965.
He later made over 100 appearances for Bournemouth and Mansfield.
Other clubs:
Everton, Manchester City, Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic, Mansfield Town, Rhyl (amateur), Poole Town (amateur)

Positive Feedback ISSUE
RS250 MKII loudspeakers
as reviewed by Fown-Ming Tien
For someone just getting into audio, there is no better time! There has never been equipment of such high quality being offered at entry-level prices. Many manufacturers have taken production to China, which has allowed them to offer better products at lower prices. The internet has also given manufacturers a way to offer their products directly to the consumer, which removes costly middlemen and the overhead costs associated with the traditional business model. While purchasing a piece of audio gear over the internet makes it difficult for the buyer to "test drive" it before handing over their cash, most of the direct-to-consumer companies offer a 30-day, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantee.
In PFO Issue 15, I fell in love with the Onix H34, an overachieving integrated tube amp that redefines the meaning of value. When Mark L. Schifter, founder of AV123, offered to send me a review pair of the entry-level, $699/pair Onix Rocket RS250 MKII two-way monitor speakers, I eagerly accepted. I wanted to hear what $699 could buy, and how the RS250s would stack up to other offerings in the ultra-competitive sub-$1K market.
Other than a reworked crossover, everything about the RS250 MkII is identical to the original RS250, which has been around for over two years. The new crossover purportedly improves cone control to provide better detail, clarity, imaging, and coherency. Owners' comments on AV123's website indicate that the RS250 did not have as high a reputation as the company's beloved floorstanders. Never having heard the original RS250s, I will not be able to offer a comparison between the old and the new model, and can only report on whether the MkIIs deliver on AV123's philosophy of providing products that exceed expectation.
The speakers arrived double-boxed in a single container that weighed nearly 55 pounds. Within high-density foam, each speaker was wrapped in its own protective sock made of t-shirt quality cotton. Each RS250 MkII weighs 24 pounds, which might not seem like much, but the speakers are only 13.75 inches tall, 13.5 inches deep, and 9.5 inches wide. Most two-way monitors in this price range weigh about 10 to 20 pounds. Also included is a pair of soft cotton gloves that allows handling the speakers without leaving oily fingerprints on the glossy black end caps.
The review pair came in a matched red ebony veneer. No words or pictures can do the finish justice. These speakers are gorgeous! The sides of the cabinets are elegantly sculpted. The fit and finish is first rate, on a par with speakers costing twice as much or more. Their wife acceptance factor should be sky high. The binding posts are high-quality WBT look-alikes. The tweeter is the Vifa Ring Radiator, partnered with a custom 6.5-inch aluminum alloy long-throw cone woofer. A third-order crossover is responsible for directing traffic.
The RS250s have always been attractive, but what good is a pretty face without an irresistible personality? Would the MkIIs be the real deal, or would they come up short? Since no monitors can fill my large listening room, I set up the MkIIs in a second room, which is about 12 by 15 feet. After placing them on my 24-inch Osiris stands, two feet from the side walls and two feet from the front wall, I aimed them inwards at my shoulders and hooked them up to the Onix CD-1 CD player and Onix-34 integrated tube amp. I played Natalie Cole's Unforgettable, With Love to get the ball rolling. The RS250 MkIIs sounded quite good straight out of the box, but were a bit restrained, so out came Natalie Cole and in went Dave Matthews. I cranked up the volume, closed the door, and let the speakers play. AV123 recommends 100 hours of break-in time before critical evaluation, but I found that the speakers opened up after around 50 hours. High frequencies had a sense of ease akin to running a hot knife through a bar of butter, and the woofer had loosened up considerably.
I played the Natalie Cole CD again, and this time the tightness was gone, leaving only the silky smooth sound of her beautiful voice. Because I had had quite a bit of experience with the Vifa tweeters in other speakers, I was not surprised by the silkiness of the upper midrange and highs, but the quality of the bass was completely unexpected. The MkIIs are said to be down 3dB at 48Hz, which is quite good for small monitors (fantastic for monitors that sell for $699), but having owned a pair of Dynaudio Audience 52 monitors, which are known for their tight, extended bass, I was skeptical that the RS250 MkIIs could deliver as much in the low end. "The Very Thought of You" has some low bass that kicks in around a minute into the track, and it was at this moment that the 250s really grabbed me. The bass was superior to that of the Audience 52s—it was tighter and had more impact! The $850 Selah SA-1 monitors that I reviewed a few months back went a little lower, but the bass was warmer and less tight, probably due to cabinet resonance. The cabinets of the 250s are made of 1-inch MDF, and the curved sides are designed to reduce cabinet resonance. I also suspect that the MkIIs' revised crossover is responsible for the great bass performance, since the stated purpose of the revision was to help control the woofer. Low, tight, full, and balanced bass is very rare in speakers at this price. Compared to my Onix Reference 1 monitors, the bass from the 250s is on the warm side, and it has more overhang, yet gives up little in articulation.
The next track, "Paper Moon," opens with some crashing cymbals—a great test of treble detail, air, and transparency. The Vifa tweeters did what it they were asked to do. They sounded very natural, and did not draw undue attention to themselves. Compared to the Selah SA-1s, with their superior ribbon tweeters, the 250s lacked some air, transparency, separation, and detail. Because my Reference 1 speakers use the same tweeter, but have more of these qualities, I believe that the difference is in the crossover. It's a case of more money buying more performance. Nevertheless, the high-frequency response of the 250s is far superior to that of the DM series monitors from B&W, with much greater refinement. The refinement of the 250s is remarkably close to that of the Nautilus N805s.
The 250s' treble and bass are quite good for monitors, but the strength of these speakers is in the midrange, which is full and detailed yet smooth and grain-free. Voices seem to flow effortlessly, and lack the hardness of other speakers in their price range. Attack, decay, sustain, and imaging are better than the price of the 250s would indicate. They also throw a soundstage that extends well beyond their physical placement, and reproduce scale better than their size and price would lead one to expect.
The RS250s can be driven pretty hard before losing their composure. Complex orchestral music can cause them to sound congested, but such pieces can also be challenging for more expensive speakers. While the RS250s raise expectations of what entry-level speakers can do, the thing that differentiates them from more expensive speakers is the ground they give up when it comes to providing that last 5 to 10 percent of fine detail. Of course, no speakers are perfect, and I would certainly not expect perfection from bookshelf speakers at such a low price. However, the Onix RS250 MkIIs deliver much, much more than I thought was possible for $699. They are entry-level speakers that perform well enough to anchor a system for a budding audiophile. They can also be used to build a better system, and might not even be outgrown. Highly recommended! Fown-Ming Tien

An Experimental Study of Self-Regulated Learning with Gifted Learners
In accordance with the principles of differentiated education, learners of varying abilities must be given equal opportunities in the teaching-learning situation to realise their full potential. Unfortunately, this goal has not yet been attained in South Africa due to the misconception that the present OBE curriculum in the various subjects sufficiently satisfies the learning requirements of highly intelligent learners. The literature study reaffirms the view that gifted learners are endowed with unique personality traits, enabling them to study at higher levels of thinking, at a faster pace and with a greater degree of autonomy than their average coevals. An empirical study was conducted with grade eleven learners who were considered to be specifically gifted in Accounting. The main purpose of the experiment was to investigate whether gifted high school learners could master subject matter of an advanced level on their own. The empirical results suggest that gifted learners in high schools are capable of self-regulating their own learning through self-monitoring, self-evaluation and self-reinforcement. The study confirms that self-regulated learning offers an alternative approach in implementing an advanced level curriculum in a subject for the gifted in the mainstream of education.

Diyarbakir, Turkey (AFP) Jan 16, 2013
Turkish jets have pounded Kurdish rebel hideouts in northern Iraq in the fiercest aerial campaign in years, military sources said Wednesday, as the bodies of three Kurdish activists who were killed in Paris arrived home.
Sixteen F-16 fighter jets took off from their base in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir, a Kurdish minority stronghold, around 10:00 pm (2000 GMT) on Tuesday and bombed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) bases in the Qandil mountains, 90 kilometres (55 miles) from the border, a military source said.
"More than 50 targets were hit in the three-hour operation" targeting the leadership of the outlawed separatist group using its bases in northern Iraq as a springboard for attacks inside Turkey, he added.
The source did not provide any casualty tallies.
The day after the operation, a plane carrying the bodies of three female activists in a PKK affiliate who were slain in Paris last week landed in Diyarbakir.
Thousands of people gathered at the airport for the arrival of the coffins, many of them carrying portraits of the three victims and chanting: "Martyrs will live forever."
Police heightened security around the airport.
A memorial service is planned for Thursday, before the bodies are sent to the victims' nearby hometowns the next day.
The planned ceremonies have raised tensions in Turkey, with government leaders urging calm among the Kurdish minority, which makes up around 20 percent of the population.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey's security forces would be on alert during the ceremonies in case of "any kind of provocation" such as a large protest.
Diyarbakir Mayor Osman Baydemir however dismissed such concerns.
"The people of Diyarbakir know very well how to mourn and how to claim their dead," he told reporters.
One of the slain women was Sakine Cansiz, a co-founder of the PKK, which took up arms in 1984 for Kurdish self-rule in southeastern Turkey. She still held a Turkish passport when she was killed.
The fighting between the state and the insurgents has resulted in the death of 45,000 people, mostly Kurds, and led to Turkey and much of the international community branding the PKK a terrorist organisation.
Turkey has sought information from France over the Paris killing of the activists, a foreign ministry spokesman said.
"Contacts are under way between the police departments of the two countries," Selcuk Unal told a weekly press conference.
The execution-style murders may have been a bid to derail peace talks between Turkey's secret services and jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan, according to Turkish officials.
Erdogan said the peace process would be a "litmus test" for those who want a settlement, as he insisted military operations would continue to root out the armed wings of the PKK.
"Our security forces will continue operations until the terrorist organisation lays down arms and ends its attacks," he said in televised remarks.
But Diyarbakir's mayor said a "simultaneous ceasefire" would be the only way to prevent any disruption of the peace talks.
"The attitude of Diyarbakir will be one that... contributes to the evolution of peace talks to permanent negotiations and peace," he said.
Abdulrazzaq Bayiz, mayor of the Senkasar region of Iraqi Kurdistan, told AFP that Turkish aircraft hit two villages in his region for 45 minutes, but that there were no casualties.
On Sunday, a senior PKK member was reported killed in a shootout in the town of Nusaybin in southeastern Turkey on the border with neighbouring Syria.
Turkey says around 2,000 Kurdish rebels are hiding on the mountainous Iraqi side and it targets their hideouts to eliminate the leadership cadres of the complex organisation.

wmaster0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Device or resource busy.
I have no idea what is wrong, I have install latest drivers and everything.
Another thing that I do not see working well is that when I run

With every report of continued strength in the remarkably stubborn Canadian housing market (and we have had more such indications this week), the question gets asked: How can Canada's housing sector possibly keep this up?
National Bank Financial believes it has one compelling answer: Immigration.
In a report issued Thursday, NBF senior economist Matthieu Arseneau argued that Canada's unusually high level of net migration in the 20-44 age group is underpinning a high rate of formation of new households in the country, and that has been driving housing demand. He noted that in 2012, Canada's overall population growth in that age group was 1.1 per cent, compared with a decline of 0.3 per cent in the rest of the developed world. And that growth was entirely driven by immigration; without the influx of new Canadians, Canada's population in this critical household-forming age group would have shrunk last year.
"There is reason to believe that the resilience of Canadian employment in the recent economic downturn has made Canada a destination of choice for foreigners looking for work," Mr. Arseneau wrote. "In 2012, the country's employment rate for residents born abroad was among the highest of the advanced economies."
He argued that the pace of household formation is the key difference between Canada's current strong housing market, and the housing bubble that eventually blew up in the United States last decade.
"As the U.S. housing bubble formed in the years from 2001 to 2006, households were formed in Canada at three times the U.S. rate. Over the next five years, the Canadian rate was twice that of the United States," he said.
"Though the growth of the 20-44 age group is set to decelerate over the next five years, it is likely to remain positive and well above the trend line of other advanced economies. We expect that this phenomenon will cushion the effect of rising mortgage rates on the Canadian housing market," he concluded.Report Typo/Error

A proud liberal
The following is an exact quote of the definition from Webster's Dictionary:
Lib' er-al, I.a 1. Possessing or manifesting a free and generous heart; bountiful. 2. Appropriate and/or fitting for a broad and enlightened mind. 3. Free from narrowness, bigotry, or bondage to authority or creed, II.n. 1. Any person who advocates liberty of thought, speech or action.
Yes, my friends (and enemies), I am proud to be considered a liberal.

Post is exclusive
Cry -Cry-Cry Mary Hayes,
You feel left out, stop and take a look at the requirements to join the American Legion Post 61. Once a veteran always a veteran, now tell me how many veterans have been denied acceptance in your organization. Possibly Post 61 should have been over looked many years ago. I am not saying your organization does not benefit communities and towns, but remember most organizations are readily involved, helping their community in a way they deem needed. And yes I am a NAVY VETERAN, but I don't cry.

Lake project is a mess
I'm sure you all know by now that my husband, dog and I walk around the lake in Litchfield Park nearly every day. We watch it pretty closely, especially since April when the renovations began.
It appears everything is done except the actual walkway. Now it looks like they are putting some sort of cap around the perimeter of the walkway. Maybe the concrete will be poured soon.
Many of the ducks returned on their own and, since it is now winter, many coots also returned. Approximately three weeks ago some sort of blue chemical was added to the lake, and all seemed to be fine. Apparently, it didn't affect any of the wildlife. But, in the past week something green has been added and most of the wildlife has now left. There are about four ducks and maybe six coots left. One gentleman we talked to said that he personally pulled about ten dead cormorants out of the lake and all the minnows have also died.
We were told this whole project would take until the end of September. Now, we are well into December and still no end in sight. It seems this has been a mishandled project since the get-go. I can't imagine how the City will be able to do the annual trout derby next month. To add insult to injury, all the grass in the park is dead, none of the non-working lights around the perimeter of the lake have been fixed, the watering system has not been addressed and the fountain still doesn't work. Our once-beautiful little lake is rather a pathetic mess. I pray things will soon change, but am not holding my breath.

F-35 is necessary
Since we've heard a lot about the new President calling for re-negotiation with Boeing over the new Air Force One that has been ordered, we are glad that our government has started to watch the costs. To meet the pledge of fully equipping our military, we hope it will be noted that the F-35 Fighter Jets that will secure our nation well into the future, has seen declining costs for the past few years. This fighter jet is the most futuristic aircraft ever invented. Designed to provide maximum protection for our pilots, I am confident that this is a worthy expenditure for our country and hopeful that the new President feels the same.

Thank a police officer
On Thanksgiving my husband and I decided to be part of the madness at Wal-mart. We went to the Wal-mart in Goodyear and when we were walking to the front we saw some police officers pulling a man out of a pickup truck. At first we thought they were arresting the man for stealing or something and began to chuckle but they laid him on the ground and starting doing CPR on him so we knew it was some type of medical issue. We should have walked away and minded our own business but like the other onlookers we watched. The officers did CPR until the fire truck and ambulance arrived. Within a few minutes the man was sitting up on the stretcher and appeared to be alright from what we could see. We felt obligated to share this story because of what our police officers and public safety is going through. They have gotten a bad rap and it's important people know they are there to protect us (and save us too). Please keep all police officers and firemen in your prayers this Christmas. Many have been killed this year that won't get to spend Christmas with their families. When you see a police officer thank them for what they do.

Election results, consequences
The election shock is still being digested by those on the right (adulation) and those on the left (disbelief) with all of the accusation, denial and excuses justifying the outcome. One side pointing to the Electoral College and the other the popular vote. The reality is Americans in key rural areas around the country came out in support of a change in direction for the county. This came as a shock to urban America. The message is simple, the economy and jobs are a top priority, improving healthcare and the regulatory regime, And finally and most importantly. RESTORE law and order to the streets of America and STOP the execution of police officers on the streets of America.....It's time to accept the outcome of the election and step up and support this President as we have every other President in our history. The media or those that would not give the administration a chance is doing our nation a and it's people a dis-service. At this point speculation on WHAT may be done is not criticism of a deed, it criticizing some you THING will be done....Holding the President accountable is part of our job, but letting him get to work for the country is also an obligation.....OUR SYSTEM IS MESSING FOR A REASON...God Bless America......

Seasons greetings
Since, this year, Chanukah and Christmas overlap, it's especially appropriate to consider the Jewish holiday's importance for everyone.
Thousands of years ago Antiochus Epiphanies (ruler of the Middle East) had a not terribly original idea. He launched a "culture war" to unify his kingdom, requiring everyone to follow his religion (and its "traditional values"). The plan failed in the land of Israel, where the people revolted, threw out the foreign occupiers, and rededicated the Temple in Jerusalem to their God. (Chanukah means "rededication".)
This may be the first war fought for religious freedom, a signal event in human history. It's important for America, a land founded on freedom of religion, and freedom from government meddling in or control of religion. It also has significance for Christians.
Consider the consequences had the revolt failed. Jesus would have been born into a pagan family, in a pagan land. The Jewish scriptures would have long been forgotten. Could Jesus have even commenced preaching in such circumstances? Would there be an audience that could even understand, much less be inspired by the message?
So as my Christian neighbors and friends prepare to celebrate what I hope is a very Merry Christmas, remember: without Chanukah there could be no Christmas.
Happy Holidays to everyone!

Russia, Trump in cahoots
First Conversation That Trump Has With Vladimir Putin:
Putin: "Congratulations Mr. President Trump; we are very pleased and pleasantly surprised with your election."
Trump: "So was I!"
Putin: "Well you should be because our cyber operatives advised us that the metrics reveal that our hacking into the Democratic Party database did significantly alter the perception of Hillary Clinton's issues with her e-mails and we successfully conflated the leaks in conjunction with Julian Assange. This made the difference that got you elected, Mr. President. By the way, your FBI Director, James Comey, was a great help in proliferating our manufactured perception about Mrs. Clinton. He's a keeper."
Trump: "I did appreciate it."
Putin: "And we know how grateful you are. Because of this we are asking you to honor our requests of you and your government on certain issues."
Trump: "What?"
Putin: "To begin, we now expect you to join us as an ally in the conflagration in Syria and do expect you to commit to sending your share of troops to assist in the fight to keep Assad in power among other favors. Let's have some of your wretched vodka that you sent us 20 years ago. We saved it just for this occasion. Let's toast to you and your administration which are now beholden to Mother Russia and Me.
"NOSTROVIA MR. COMRADE PRESIDENT! Maybe you and I can wrestle a bear later"
Trump: "OMG!"
Putin: "Da! If you follow through on your obligations to us we may even allow you to erect one of your monolithic high-rise buildings in Moscow! Of course you will have to use our state-approved contractors and sub-contractors but you have been doing that with the Mob in the United States for years."
Trump: "Well now Mr. Putin, you have made this palatable. NOSTROVIA!"

Parents on naughty list
On Dec 15th, I attended my grandson's Christmas program at Inca Elementary School. He auditioned for the Fine Arts Club and got a part in the program. He has been practicing every week after school since mid September. The parking lot was overflowing, and the gym was filled to capacity with many left to stand against the wall. The Fine Arts Club teacher made an announcement before the performance, asking the audience to be quiet so the students could be heard, and to not move around so as not to block another parent's view of their child. I thought to myself, really? You have to tell adults to be quiet? Not even half way through the performance, I understood why the announcement was made. Parents, shame on you. Numerous times the students were left standing on stage waiting for the crowd to quiet down. One time, after several minutes of waiting, the teacher closed the curtains and said "We are waiting for the audience to be quiet." As if that wasn't bad enough, parents began to leave after their child's grade was done singing. Students who spent numerous hours rehearsing lines and songs were seeing the crowd disperse as they performed on stage. How rude, how disrespectful. By the time the performance was over, 3/4 of the crowd had already left. Congratulations parents, you just taught your child that if they are not the center of attention, it's not necessary to stay till the end. You taught your child that it's ok to be disrespectful and rude to the people around them. You taught your child how to be part of the "I'm the only one that matters" generation. Performers, outstanding job; you were awesome. While you are home on Christmas break, please teach your parents some manners.

Liberal crybabies back at it
Liberal fantasy players at it again. Now, trying to overturn Presidential election results because they unhappy over results because their gal or guy didn't win, otherwise you wouldn't hear a peep out of them. The electoral college was established to level the playing field for all states to have a voice, not just super states like Calif and NY. It's why we are called a Representative Republic.
It's beyond sad what cry baby liberals have done to the Democrat party and civility of our nation. It's beyond their pea brained comprehension that people are fed up with it.

Thoughts about 2 issues
Gun Control?
Some perspectives would qualify the issue of gun control as complex. However, from a "Pro-Life" perspective this is a simple issue. Many countries have dealt with this issue and reduced the loss of life significantly. All we need to do is swallow our pride and accept the fact that this relatively young country, though very powerful country, can still learn some things. This is a simple case of the value we put on human life. An idea that philosophers use to rate a civilization.
This is another issue that if looked at from a "Pro-Life" perspective is a simple issue. Yet most "Pro-Life" people are against protecting life with "Gun Control". Most "Pro-Life" people are also against strong government control. However, nothing is more controlling than restricting the rights of women to make their own health care decisions.
Gun control is an issue mostly effecting the rights of men. Anti-abortion is an issue effecting the rights of women. Men are more likely to commit violence than women. Women are more likely to own guns to protect themselves from the violence of men. Men have total control over the health and reproductive ability of their bodies. Pro-Life would take away women's control over the health and reproductive ability of their bodies. Let's switch the gender of these two issues. Assume for a moment that men have the more complex and amazing ability to grow and nurture life and women had only the task of impregnating the men. What government and what religion would limit the rights of men to have an abortion, and how long would there be no gun control if women were committing the violence?

Whoa! Hold your horses!
Full disclosure: I have met Mayor Meck and worked on his re-election campaign. I have met Dave Nigh. I have not discussed this with either gentlemen.
Now, that is out of the way, I would like to say to all of those who have been charged for excessive water usage…I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
In the summer of 2015 and 2016 we received excessive water bills. From 0 usage to 10K or 20K in 1 month. We contacted the Buckeye Water Dept in 2015 and the issue was resolved. In 2016 my intelligence was insulted and I was offended by the manner in which the office personnel treated me. I wrote Dave Nigh, attached supporting documents, our meter was checked, and our account was adjusted.
Questions: Faulty meter? Hasty meter read? Temp help? Same problem/attitude in other communities? Personnel attitude for fear of losing their job or just protocol?
It does take time to research and resolve these issues. Firing or Recalling will not solve the problems. Perhaps only inhibit finding the answers. Work with the Mayor and Council. A recall election is expensive and will cost EVERY TAXPAYER. Something to think about.

Obama's Chanukah Spirit
Permalink Submitted by gingerale93 on Mon, 12/26/2016 - 11:17am
Dear Gordon,
You might say that using the Christmas and Chanukah holidays "the Democrat" President Obama has reversed a longstanding U.S. policy that in the end delegitimizes Israel. Both Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump view the Obama Administration's position as a betrayal to Israel. Therefore, Gordon either stands with Netanyahu and Trump or he must abandon the Israeli point of view in favor of the "hypocrite" Obama's action. There is no middle ground to hide upon on this issue.
"You might say"
Permalink Submitted by Gordon Posner on Mon, 12/26/2016 - 11:47pm
Dear Thomas:
Yes, you might say that. I say it's CRAP!
I have no doubt that Netanyahu wants a policy of blind support for anything he does, but that isn't and hasn't been the policy of the U.S., nor should it be.
And since when does the entire State of Israel consist of just one man? To paraphrase Shakespeare, upon what meat doth our Bennie feed that he has grown so great? What you, and Lying Trump (if I can accept that he also voices such a view), are saying is that Netanyahu is now the King of Israel, and can do whatever he wants by "Divine Right". Jefferson must be spinning in his grave.
All the resolution did was condemn the Israeli Settlements in the West Bank - properly so, since there is no legal basis for them to exist! If condemning theft is a "betrayal", then why did we bother fighting a "hot" war against Germany and a "cold" one against the Soviet Union?
I'm sorry, but as a Jew I'm not obliged to approve or support anything the Likud government in Israel does. (Anymore than Israelis who voted against said government are obliged to.) And as an American I'm certainly not obliged to support what I consider to be wrong, or to demand my government support it either.
You have no idea what the "Israeli point of view" is, anymore than you know what the "American point of view" is. All you know are the views of their governments, but so long as America remains a democracy, and so long as the First Amendment has any value, then every American has the right to disagree with the views of both their government, and that of Israel. Since I disagree with Netanyahu, I obviously agree with America's action at the U.N.
And if anything, I say it's the mindless supporters of Netanyahu (I don't mean all of them, just those who do so mindlessly) who are "betraying" Israel. Tell me, Thomas, what's to become of the Palestinians whose lands are being seized? This is all part of a long-range plan to create a "Greater Israel", and abandon the U.N. Partition Plan (with its "Two State Solution") which is the only legal basis for Israel's existence! Just what does the future hold for a "One State Solution"? Here are the alternatives I see:
1) Israel expells all the Palestinians, a bit of ethnic cleansing reminiscent of what the Romans did when they sent the Jews into Exile.
2) Israel establishes isolated Palestinian "homelands" which are both politically and economically unviable, which grant their "citizens" no rights in the government which actually rules over them (Israel's), which is nothing more than Apartheid.
3) Israel accords the Palestinians it "absorbs" into Greater Israel full citizenship rights. Which means, of course, that within a generation the Palestinian controlled Knesset votes to abolish Israel, and rename the country Palestine!
Saving Israel from such a future set of choices is what a "good friend" does. Friends don't let friends drive drunk, or run a country when they're drunk with power. Netayahu is driving Israel off a thousand foot cliff at 200 mph. I think it no "betrayal" for the U.S. to agree a "Stop Sign" warning "Cliff Ahead" is a good idea.
As always, I stand with "little" things like facts, reason, and truth. As always you make your stand with ignorance, arrogance, partisanship, and mindless ideology.
P.S. - And thanks for ruining the holidays that way. I trust you received nothing but coal in your stockings!
Simple Facts
Permalink Submitted by gingerale93 on Tue, 12/27/2016 - 4:27am
Dear Gordon,
Sorry, but Panels Politics of Tel Aviv conducted a survey poll in 2012, before the collapse of Israeli-Palestinian talks under the Obama Administration, 21 percent of Israelis felt he was pro-Israel . Some 47 percent of Israelis viewed the Obama Administration as being pro-Palestinian.
In 2015, Panels Politics found that 60 percent of Israelis viewed the Obama Administration as being pro-Palestinian and only 9 percent being pro-Israel. Of course polls have been known to be a little off or who would have thought Trump would have beaten Hillary. Oops, Hillary won the popular vote so "progressives" feel it should somehow de-legitimize Trump.
Another factor is even though polls claim Obama has over 50 percent of a favorable rating, fact remains he turned more blue states into red ones.
Ooh, by the way it was the New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer who voiced his displeasure of the action that president Obama took in abstaining in the anti-Israel UN Vote.
You have my permission to further your rhetoric with the continued use the ad hominem, a proven fact of the inconsistency of your own arguments.
Opinions aren't facts.
Permalink Submitted by Gordon Posner on Tue, 12/27/2016 - 9:56am
Dear Thomas:
Sorry yourself (and you're a pretty sorry character) but opinions aren't facts! So what if a poll showed more Israelis thought poorly of Obama than approved of him. As I recall we kept hearing throughout this year of polls showing a certain Democratic candidate was "inevitable", and her victory on Election Night was assured. How'd that work out?
So, which set of "facts" are we to believe? Was Hillary "inevitable", is Obama Pro-Israel? Apparently polling indicated both are true! (At least, in the latter case, I bet among Israelis who disagree with Netanyahu.)
And you certainly seem insecure about Lying Trump's "legitimacy" (as the President-elect). That's why you and other "conservatives" try to pretend he somehow has a "mandate" from the American "people". Sorry, he doesn't. The nation is bitterly divided about that guy, and a majority of the Americans who bothered to vote (the only people who count being the ones who voted) didn't vote for him! Some "mandate".
Does this "delegitimize" his presidency? No, I expect he'll manage to do that all by himself, and soon enough the land will reverberate with the cry "Impeach Him Now!" Maybe that's what you're afraid of, so (in classic fashion) you try to hide your insecurity with bluster, bravado, and sophistry. (Classic not just for you, but for all insecure people.)
And I love the way you supposedly "independent thinkers" among the "conservatives" keep repeating the same talking points about how many States the Democrats have lost during the Obama years, as if State elections are entirely determined by who is President. Gee, that explains how Arpaio just got re-elected! (Oh, wait, he didn't? Never mind.) Once again your insecurity is showing.
Democratic Senator Schumer can disagree with the President. (There's no such thing as a "Democrat Senator", you Republi-Con!) It's a free country (so far), and he's entitled to his opinion, as you are to yours, and I am to mine. And we can hold our opinions without being called "traitors", "un-godly", "hypocrites", or any of the other epithets Republi-Cons like you like to hurl at those who disagree.
(So no hypocritical lectures about using ad hominems from you sir. I'll stop when you stop.)
Meanwhile, I can't help noticing the complete lack of substance to what you wrote, and how you evaded and avoided just about all the points I made. A sure sign you have no good arguments to make! So, let's try this again, and see if you're even capable of honestly addressing what I said; specifically what's your response to the following points I previously made?
1) Must the U.S. blindly support everything Netanyahu does (or wants to do)?
2) Does the opinion of one man (even if he's the Prime Minister) constitute the opinion of all of Israel, or just of its current government? (And, given how fractured Israel's parliamentary system is, can we even say that?)
3) What legal (let alone principled or moral) basis is there for the Settlements?
4) Must Jews blindly support everything Netanyahu does (or wants to do)?
5) Must all Israelis (both the Jewish and Muslim Israelis) blindly support everything Netanyahu does (or wants to do)?
6) On what basis do you claim to "know" what "the Israelis point of view" is? (And opinion polls don't count, for reasons already stated.) Remember, the only thing two Jews can agree on is that a third Jew is wrong! Rather hard to get unanimity of opinion among such a "stiff-necked" and argumentative people.
7) I repeat: "what's to become of the Palestinians whose lands are being seized?" You didn't answer this all important question, and I must insist that you do, since Israel's fate depends on it. (You can offer other alternatives than the three I offered, but the more you evade and avoid this critical question, the more you prove you have no answer!)
And finally,
8) Should friends let their friends drive drunk? (I've already explained the metaphor.)
Time to put up or shut up, bubalah.

Dear Patrick,
Patrick often brings a unique perspective to any conversation however; there is no need to be Gordon's cavalry. He is quite capable of sinking within his own rhetoric.
Never said, nor do I recall quoting Netanyahu but, what occurred was Obama's blunder opened the door to Netanyahu's political agenda. You will have to ask Gordon about the Palestinian territory in the West Bank was an issue that he brought up.
The "Fact" of the painful truth is the Democratic Party has lost enormous political ground over the past eight years under Obama's leadership. Unfortunately, for Obama by abstaining on the controversial United Nations Security Council resolution will cement his legacy as being the most anti-Israel president in American history.

Permalink Submitted by Gordon Posner on Wed, 12/21/2016 - 8:29pm
Dear Ms. Placious:
I do thank the Police, but (as I just finished explaining to Mr. Warden), I don't assume they're always in the right, or that the people they encounter are always in the wrong. (I don't assume the opposite either.) That, after all, is what we have trials for: to determine (as best we can) what happened.
Permalink Submitted by Gordon Posner on Wed, 12/21/2016 - 8:26pm
Dear Mr. Warden:
There are a few shocking things about your Letter I wish to address.
First, I suggest you proof-read your Letters before sending them. I know of no one who criticizes Lying Trump for what they "THING" will be done. (Though, criticism of Hillary for what "Trumpsters" merely thought she would do, or had done, was very popular with that crowd.) And while our "system" (whatever system you're referring to) could use improvement (nothing's perfect after all), I don't see what "MESSING" has to do with it. Are you suggesting we just need a good set of maids and housekeepers? If so, perhaps we should reconsider Lying Trump's immigration policies!
Second, I question the popular (and media driven) notion that this election was a "war" between rural and urban areas.
Even "Blue" States like California and New York have plenty of rural areas. (In New York politicians talk about "upstate" versus "downstate".) And the reverse is true for "Red" States, they have plenty of urban areas too. (And what are we supposed to do about Suburbia?) For that reason alone talking about "urban vs. rural" is nonesense.
Furthermore, I'm sure there were plenty of voters for Lying Trump in "urban" areas (such as Chandler, Mesa, and Scottsdale here in Arizona), and while I consider Flagstaff to be rather "rural", I wouldn't be surprised to find plenty of Hillary voters there.
Finally, the illusion of rural vs. urban comes in part from the winner-take-all system most States employ for assigning their electoral votes. All that counts is one candidate getting one vote more than the other, and the State becomes "Blue" or "Red". So don't pay too much attention to the Electoral Map. It merely shows how the total electoral vote went. It tells us nothing about how the popular vote went in each State, nor whether it was "rural" voters who carried the day in "Red" States (etc.).
Here's a challenge for anyone who has the time, energy, and interest: find out how the popular votes were cast in every county in the nation. Then throw out any votes for Lying Trump in "urban" counties, and any for Hillary in "rural" ones. (Suburbia could be split between them, they keep all the votes they get there.) Then go back and recalculate the electoral votes based on that. I wonder what the results would be if Lying Trump only got "rural" votes, and Hillary only got "urban" ones. (Poor Dr. Stein and Governer Johnson can't participate in this.)
Third, the reasons for the outcome of the election are many and varied, so assigning the cause to the issues you mentioned is a bit of hyperbole. I might add there's little a President can do to "restore law and order" (whatever that's supposed to mean). Most Police matters are handled on the State level.
While the execution of police officers by lone nuts is a valid concern, I think the fear that there may be too many "bad apples" in our police forces is also valid. The key is to employ the principle of Due Process (enshrined in the 5th and 14th Amendments). Don't assume every person shot by the police is a "thug", and don't assume every member of the police who pulls the trigger is a "killer". There's a reason we have Courts of Law and trials: to resolve such events, and determine (as best as humanly possible) what happened.
As for your call that we must all "accept the outcome" of the election, and support Lying Trump "as we have every other President in our history", I suggest you read my Comment to Mr. Sharp. That's exactly what those of us appalled at the prospect of a Lying Trump Presidency are doing!
It's how Republicans and "conservatives" behaved in 1992, 2008, and 2012. Now it's "our" turn!
Proof, please.

Dear Mr. Compton:
Much as I loathe Lying Trump, I can't "sign-on" to your little "novella", and not just because you failed to mention that conversation took place while the two were in bed together!
While I think there were many things that went wrong with this election, including the items you discussed (among other things), and they need to be investigated thoroughly, I can't join the call of those who think this somehow invalidates the results of the election. Why? Because of a lack of proof on the critical issue of causation.
Let's assume the Russians, acting on orders from Putin, sought to (and did) interfere in our election in the manner you mention (either to elect Lying Trump, or as "payback" for things Clinton said about Putin). Leaving aside the fact that there's no constitutional method for undoing an election, you must first be able to prove that but for the Russian hacking (or any of the other things) Lying Trump would have lost.
This cannot be done!
Doing so would require asking every voter how they voted and why. We would then have to see how much of a difference it would have made. For example, even if half of the voters for Lying Trump in California were influenced by the Russians, that wouldn't change the outcome since under the winner-take-all system Hillary got all of California's electoral votes whether she won that State by only 50% + 1, or by 99.999999999999%! No matter how many additional popular votes she might get if we threw out the votes "affected" by the Russians, she'd get no more electoral votes. The same problem exists in all 50 States.
Then there's the problem that we can't question the voters. The "voting booth" is one of the most private places in our nation. We simply can't be forced to reveal who we voted for, or why. Add to that there's no way to insure the honesty of those who'd voluntarily answer our questions (and that includes whether they're being honest with themselves), and it's clear the task of proving causation is impossible!
That doesn't mean all these things shouldn't be thoroughly investigated, but only prospectively. We can't undo this election, but we can do all we can to insure such "hacking" (and other things such as "fake news") have no influence in the future.
After all, I'm sure our "conservative friends" wouldn't like it if in 2020 President-elect Warren was helped by Putin's hackers, after his "bromance" with Lying Trump falls apart!

Dear Mr. Boyle:
While I appreciate what you're trying to say, and agree somewhat, I'm afraid you've muddled things a bit.
The issue isn't how "Pro-Life" one is. As you ably demonstrated that term can mean many different things to different people. Our Vegan friends would argue one can't be "Pro-Life" while slaughtering animals for consumption, while others might point out that going to war to stop monsters like Hitler is very much "Pro-Life".
But make the issue instead the proper role of government in our lives, and I think what you're trying to say (assuming I understand you) can be made more clearly.
Those who oppose Gun Control base their position on the Second Amendment, which expressly guarantees a "right" to "keep and bear arms". (Nevermind, for our purposes, how they misapply and distort that Amendment.) Since there is no such express statement in the Constitution of a woman's "right to chose", they can argue that no such "right" exists, and be consistent.
Wrong, but consistent. Again, let's not debate how to interpret or apply the Constitution, just whether they're doing so in a consistent manner.
And that's where their demand for express constitutional provisions trips them up. (It's also where so-called "small government conservatives" run afoul.) Most "Pro-Lifers" support Federal laws like the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003. But, nowhere does the Constitution grant the Federal government the power to pass such a law! (The power of State governments to do this is another matter entirely.) Yet these same "conservatives" will use the absence of express power over the environment, healthcare, and a legion of other topics, as an argument against things like the EPA, innumberable Federal regulations, and (of course) "Obamcare".
I've pointed out this hypocrisy many times (here and elsewhere), inviting "conservatives" to come up with a consistent and constitutional explanation why the Abortion Ban is okay, but "Obamacare" (etc.) isn't. So far none have met the challenge.
But I must really disagree with your claim that "Gun control is an issue mostly effecting [sic] the rights of men". Indeed, you contradict yourself by noting that women also own guns. Such women have as much to be concerned about Gun Control as any man. But then, so do all of us (whichever side of the issue we're on).
"Conservative" Hypocrites Back At It!

Dear Mr. Sharp:
Of course you remember back in 1992, when Bill Clinton won by 370 electoral votes to Bush's 168, and won the popular vote by a margin of over 5 Million votes (way more in either count than Lying Trump received), all you good "conservatives" immediately put the election behind them, renounced mindless partisanship, and pledged to work with Clinton for the good of the country.
They didn't whine that Bill wasn't "really" elected, because of all the votes Ross Perot "stole" from Bush, or that since he didn't get a majority of the popular vote he had no "mandate".
And I'm sure you remember how in 2008, after Obama won by 365 electoral votes to McCain's 173 (with a popular vote margin of nearly 10 Million), again far more than Lying Trump, "conservatives" rushed to declare their acceptance of the result, and vowed to work with the President-elect to make his a successful Administration.
You surely also recall how, after Obama's victory in 2012, where he won 332 electoral votes to Romney's 206, and had almost a 5 Million popular vote margin, yet again more than Lying Trump got in either the electoral or popular vote, "conservatives" again stepped up to declare their support for the man the nation had chosen as its President.
Oh, wait, they didn't? Never mind.
As for your argument about being a republic is the reason we have the Electoral College, I'm going to submit a series of Letters (with accompanying Comments) demonstrating how false your argument is. In fact, the College as it operates today is the exact opposite of what the Founders intended, and isn't the way a "Representative Republic" is supposed to function.
And no lectures on "civility" from a supporter of Lying Trump, please. Remember, he's the man who falsely claimed to have seen a non-existent video of
"Dancing Muslims In Jersey City", and continued to adhere to that Slander even after it was proven to be false! His entire campaign was nothing but an appeal to the devils of our worst natures (which earns him the title of "the Anti-Lincoln"), and sowing division is what helped him get elected. But what can I expect from a member of the Republi-Con Party but consistent hypocrisy and deceit?

Labor is in severe danger of sliding into electoral oblivion. Sure, it's escaped from near-death in the past. But there are signs the latest decline may be terminal, at least at the federal level, unless drastic remedies are accepted against fierce resistance.
At the April 5 Senate election in Western Australia, Labor got a dire 21.7 per cent of the primary vote versus the Liberals' 33.8 per cent and National's 3.1 per cent. On current indications, the Coalition parties seem to have enough votes to win three out of the six Senate seats and Labor only one. Ominously for Labor, 38.5 per cent of valid votes went to candidates other than itself or the Coalition.
With voting now finalised in the March 14 Tasmanian state election, the ABC's analyst

His disdain for what he sees, with scant evidence, as commercial despoliation in this case was not apparent when, as PM, he dealt with Moore Park, another of Macquarie's gifts to the public. Keating effectively gave a large part to News Ltd to build commercial facilities, including a failed movie theme park.
