Quote from Single Floor House for Summer Vacation on Hill :
Talking about the furniture sets, the airy space has a contemporary design of furniture with the simple but fashionable style. Furthermore, the red accent is always being there among the soft colored background. Sleek wooden benches in light brown get mating with the same color and manner bold rectangle table. A small vase lets this wooden furniture to have the eye-catching stuff on. The gray cornered sofa welcomes everyone to have a seat with the red themed pillows covers.

Lottery winners not sure what to do with new fortune
Merle and Pat are just regular people. But they're worth more than $110.5 million after winning their share of the biggest lottery jackpot in history.
The Red Bud, Ill., couple say they're trying to decide what to do with the money. They'll invest for sure — maybe even go on a vacation, said Merle Butler, 65, and his wife, Patricia, 62. Their identities were revealed Wednesday at a news conference.
"We are just everyday people who have worked hard all our life, who love our family and our city, (and) pay our taxes," Merle Butler said. "We just happened to hit it big in the lottery. We enjoy spending time with our family and friends, and — believe it or not — don't anticipate our day-to-day lives changing all that much because of the win."
The couple, married 41 years, are the last of the Mega Millions winners in three states to come forward and claim the third and final portion of the $656 million jackpot. Winning tickets were also sold in Kansas and Maryland, and those ticket holders chose to remain anonymous.
The Illinois Lottery generally requires, with some exceptions for "compelling reasons," that winners appear for a news conference and related promotions, partly to show that it pays out prizes as promised, said Mike Lang, a spokesman for the Illinois Lottery.
Lottery winners
Merle Butler bought $3 in Quick Pick tickets March 28 at the Red Bud Motomart, part of an Illinois-based convenience store chain. He learned the couple had won the night of the drawing March 30.
After checking his ticket, Merle said he shared the news with his wife. "She kind of looked at me funny, and I said, 'No, we won,' and she started giggling," he said. "She giggled for about four hours, I think. … We were up all night."
Merle Butler worked for General American Life Insurance in St. Louis for 25 years and retired about eight years ago, he said. Patricia Butler worked for several companies and retired from the Edward Jones' information technology department about five years ago.
"It really hasn't sunk in yet," Patricia Butler said. "Winning this amount of money is a major responsibility, one we take seriously and will figure out step-by-step as we go along. I'm sure we will be using part of the winnings to do some real good; we just don't know yet how that might manifest itself."
Records show the couple have lived in their home since 1977, own a home in Waterloo, Ill., and an 18-foot aluminum motor boat. They have a son, a daughter and several grandchildren.
Friends and former co-workers of the Butlers say the self-described "everyday people" are exactly that.
The two are well-known in their city (population 3,700) and spend a lot of time camping and enjoying their family, said Kelly Kueker, 23, who has lived across the street from the Butlers her whole life.
"They deserve it," she said. "They are very nice. They've always been very talkative."
Kueker was shocked when she realized her longtime neighbors were millionaires. "I just talked to them a few days ago," she said. "I would never have thought they won. They kept it pretty silent."
News of Patricia Butler's good fortune spread fast among her former co-workers at Edward Jones.
"Most people here knew Pat Butler, so we were really excited," said Gayle Gill, who works in the company's information technology department. "She was very dedicated to just doing a good job."
Mike Romano, who hired Patricia Butler, said she drove an hour each way to work everyday and couldn't remember Butler ever being late or absent. "She was a very nice person to work with," he said. "She's very family-oriented. I always heard stories about the family and camping."
Only about five people knew the couple won the lottery before the news conference, Merle Butler said. The Butlers put the ticket away in a safe deposit box at their bank and spent the past few weeks meeting with financial advisers and an attorney, he said.
"We've been thinking of ways we can invest it," Merle Butler said. "We're getting ready for the transfer. Over the next few months, we're going to start setting up different things we can use it for … possibly a vacation."
Soon after Wednesday's news conference, the Butlers took off in their car minutes before media trucks, reporters and police cruisers showed up outside their home and lined their neighborhood's streets, Kueker said.
Kueker doesn't expect to see her neighbors for a while.
"They will probably be out of town for a little bit to try to avoid the media," she said.

But actually, it refers to any close-up shot even of normal size objects, such as flowers, the human eye, or tree leaves. Macro photography images are usually taken using a special macro lens that allows you to take very close shots with a normal size ratio, such as 1:1. You can also use tools such as a close-up filter and reversing rings to get a macro shot without a dedicated expensive lens.
Another advantage of getting a macro lens is that it allows you to keep a proper distance between you and the object, which is helpful in taking shots of animals and insects that you do not want to disturb. Unlike normal shots, macro photography requires special points to take into consideration in order to get professional and sharp images, such as the following:
Choose Your Composition
The composition is the first thing that you should take care of when shooting macro photography, or even other type of photos. When taking macro photos, you should consider the small size of the object and what it will look like in the final photo.
Choose The Macro Lens To Use
While the focal length of macro lenses ranges between 50mm to 200 mm, even 50-60 mm lenses are suitable for taking normal macro shots, but they may not let you have enough distance between you and the object. So you can go with a higher focal length, such as 150-200mm that allows you to take macro shots of insects and butterflies from a proper distance. Thus, these higher focal length lenses are more expensive compared to lower ones.
Use A Tripod
When you are shooting macro photos, you are dealing with extreme focal length and zooming, so it is more likely to have a shaky shot because of the possible camera movement. The object can also move, especially when you are taking macro photos of flowers or insects. Therefore, you need to reduce this shaking by using a heavy tripod.
Get To The Same Level Of The Object
Due to the small size of these objects, you need to get closer to them, therefore every millimeter matters in getting a sharp shot. So, you need to get lower and put your camera lens in parallel with the object.
Control The Depth Of Field
If you would like to display the main object in the macro shot sharper than the background, you need to use a shallow aperture, such as f/2.8 or f/4. On the other hand, if you would like the whole shot to be sharp including the background, you need to choose a narrow f/16 or even f/22. Choosing the best aperture depends on your creative mind and how you really need to display the shot.
Use Fill-in Flash
In some cases, you may want to improve the composition exposure by using a fill-in flash. The flash light can help you fill in the dark areas in the shot and produce professional results. After reviewing these macro photography tips that can help you take professional shots, let us showcase some amazing macro photography examples by different photographers and see how the above tips can be applied to them.
Denean Melcher
Denean is a professional photographer in many fields of photography; her profile is full of life and appreciation for special moments. She is using her talent and Nikon to shoot nature, family, kids, and macro photography, such as the amazing examples below.
Marin Jr
Marin Jr is a talented photographer from Sao Paulo, Brasil. His photography includes different areas, such as nature, commercial, and macro photography. Here are some examples of Marin's amazing work.
Josh Beasley
For as long as 7 years, Josh has been taking different photos of various themes, such as macro photography, aviation, portrait and landscapes. His photography shows a great understanding of composition and the light around the objects in a scene.
Michael Stoop
Michael Stoop is another talented photographer from the Netherlands. While his main profession is in the IT field, his hobby and passion is photography, especially portrait and macro photography. Michael has been a macro photographer since 2006, and he describes these types of photograph, as follows: "Insects are very shy subjects similar to humans, you need to put them at ease and have the patience to allow them to show you their best side".
David Dousa
David is a professional photographer from Prague, and his profile varies from portrait photography, black and white, flower, nature, macro, animal photography, and more.
Toky Des Bois
Alexandre is an amazing photographer with a very interesting profile marked by bright colors, light and shadows. His profile varies from animal photography, flowers, landscape, black and white, night, and macro photography.
After this showcase of macro photography, I hope you will enjoy this type of photography and share with us your opinion about it.

Sir John Mills dies at 97
Page Tools
British actor Sir John Mills has died aged 97.
Photo: Reuters
Actor Sir John Mills, who played the quintessential British officer in scores of films, died today aged 97 after an Oscar-winning career spanning more than 50 years.
Mills died at his home in Denham, west of London, after a short illness, a statement from his trustees said. Details of the illness were not given.
Mills' roles ranged from Pip in David Lean's Great Expectations to the village idiot in Lean's Ryan's Daughter, for which Mills won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 1971.
His place in film history, however, is marked mostly by his war movie roles as a soldier, sailor, airman or commanding officer, in which he embodied the decency, humility and coolness under pressure so cherished in the British hero.
On Mills' 80th birthday in 1988, historian Jeffrey Richards called him "truly an English Everyman. His heroes have been on the whole not extraordinary men, but ordinary men whose heroism derives from their levelheadedness, generosity of spirit and innate sense of what is right."
Small, fair-haired, with a boyish face and blue eyes, Mills played the son, the brother, the boy next door who went off to fight the Germans and only sometimes came back.
In Forever England he was an ordinary seaman who pinned down a German battleship.
In Waterloo Road he played an AWOL soldier. In Noel Coward's 1942 classic In Which We Serve he was a Cockney seaman, and in Anthony Asquith's The Way to the Stars, one of the most popular films of the war, he was a schoolmaster-turned-RAF pilot.
Age seemed hardly to touch Mills, and he carried on in military roles for decades, eventually acting as the commander in Above Us the Waves in 1955.
He was trapped in a submarine in 1950's Morning Departure, toiled through the desert in Ice Cold In Alex of 1958, and in Tunes of Glory of 1960 he was the commander of a Scottish regiment, tormented by a fellow officer.
Born Lewis Ernest Watts, the son of a Suffolk schoolmaster, Mills started work at 17 as a grain merchant's clerk, but longed for the stage.
His older sister Annette, part of a dancing duo at Ciro's, the London nightclub, encouraged his ambitions, and he moved to the capital and changed his name.
Mills began his acting career as a hoofer, a song and dance man in old Fred Astaire roles. He once recalled how he spent the mornings selling disinfectants and toilet paper to pay the rent, and his afternoons at tap dancing lessons.
"Then I got into a very tatty double act with a man called George Posford who played the balalaika while I sang 'Sonny Boy', and that was how it all started," he said.
He was acting with a travelling troupe called The Quaints, in Singapore in 1929, when Noel Coward saw the show and suggested Mills look him up in London.
That led to parts in Coward's revues and eventually his war movies, where Mills swapped his dancing shoes for uniform.
Mills' own military career in the Royal Engineers lasted little more than a year, from just after the outbreak of World War II until he was declared unfit because of an ulcer.
Mills was married first to actress Aileen Raymond, then on January 16, 1941, to Mary Hayley Bell, an actress turned playwright.
Their son, Jonathan, is a screenwriter, and their daughters Juliet and Hayley are actresses.
Among Mills' many non-military films were Great Expectations, Hobson's Choice, The Wrong Box, Tiger Bay with his daughter Hayley, and Gandhi, in which he played the viceroy of India.
He was made a CBE, or Companion of the Order of British Empire, in 1960 and knighted in 1976.
Mills returned to the stage in a succession of musicals, including Goodbye Mr Chips, when he was 74, and the plays Separate Tables in 1971 and The Petition when he was 78.
He was wiry, fit and remarkably youthful to his old age, which his daughter Hayley attributed to his "joie de vivre".
"Maybe what attracts people is that exuberant spiritual quality that they recognise is still present," she said in 1986.
At 80, Mills rejected any idea of giving up acting.
"I've never considered myself to be working for a living; I've enjoyed myself for a living instead," he said.
Mills is survived by his wife and their children. The funeral service will be held on April 27 in Denham.

CPM meet
Chinsurah, Nov. 19: Police had to guard a CPM meeting venue on Sunday after Trinamul workers allegedly beat up the rival party's workers in Hooghly's Haripal, which was once a Left bastion.
The police said the Trinamul workers accused the CPM supporters of having criminal links and hurled stones at the zonal committee office in which a branch committee member was injured. Trinamul has denied the allegations.
SSKM death
Calcutta: A person in his fifties was found unconscious near a pond in the SSKM Hospital compound late on Sunday and died while being taken to the emergency ward. Police have ruled out foul play.
Marriage off
Midnapore: The block development officer of West Midnapore's Chandrokona on Sunday prevented a 16-year-old girl from being married off to her history teacher. The girl's parents, who had claimed her age was 20, failed to produce documents to prove that she was not a minor.
Killer brother
Bolpur: A farmer was beaten to death allegedly by his younger brother in a Birbhum village late on Saturday night over a long-standing family feud. The peasant's wife has lodged a police complaint against the brother who has fled home.
Bomb maker
Krishnagar: A man out on bail in an extortion case was killed when a bomb he was allegedly making in a Nadia house went off on Sunday. Bapi Das was taken to NRS Hospital in Calcutta but was declared brought dead.
Cong feud
Behrampore: Two Congress factions clashed in a Murshidabad village on Sunday. One group, owing allegiance to a panchayat samiti sabhadipati, accused the other of attacking the house of the Beldanga MLA. No arrests have been made.

240. Of course, it is enormously difficult
to get these concepts over, important though they are, to the
public, because I think, as one of the lobby representatives told
us a couple of weeks ago, personalities are often more interesting
than policies and politics?
(Sir Richard Wilson) There is a problem, which
is familiar. I had the experience, as I think I referred to earlier,
of working for Tony Benn for four years and he at that time was
very much in favour of consultation and passing that information
to the public. I can remember all sorts of incidents when one's
instincts were overruled and one learnt a lot from it, but one
of the things I am afraid I did learn is that sometimes you make
a big effort to be open and you give out the information, but
nobody reads it. That is just the sad truth, that quite often
the one bit of information people really want is the one bit of
information they cannot have, but I do not regard that as a reason
for not pressing on with it.
241. Just like the Wilson Report this morning,
you mean?
(Sir Richard Wilson) If I may say so, yes.
242. Or your advice to Alastair Campbell?
(Sir Richard Wilson) Yes, which we have already
agreed upon. I hope my clarification of that is clearly on the
243. Clearly Ministers are much more (to
use that horrible word) proactive now in communicating than they
may have been in the past, perhaps recognising that politics and
public relations, when they are done well, are the same thing.
It is about communicating and, indeed, listening and responding.
But do you think the balance at the moment between Ministers and
their special advisers and civil servants and the GICS has reached
the right balance, and if not, is it just a matter of bedding
down or are there structural problems there?
(Sir Richard Wilson) I do not believe there are
structural problems there. I believe that there is always in every
department a process of settling down and I think some of what
we have seen in relation to the heads of information reflects
244. May I turn to something that is related
to the bricks and breaking glass which you referred to earlier.
I do not know whether this comes within your area of responsibility
but I raise it simply because somebody rang me repeatedly from
France last night in mounting terms of anxiety, saying that the
French media's coverage of the unfortunate rioting in the South
of France yesterday carried absolutely no reference to British
Government statements, which she found both distressing and, indeed,
humiliating. She tried to telephone the No. 10 press office last
night and was told that she should ring back at nine o'clock in
the morning. She spoke to the Consul General in Marseilles who
told her that he did not have a press officer. As I say, I do
not know whether this is your territory as the Head of the Home
Civil Service but I mention it to you because you might know the
man or a woman who is responsible. But it does seem to me that
we are missing a trick, that the British Government ought to be
well represented out there, ought to be able to respond to these
events which are, frankly, all too predictable?
(Sir Richard Wilson) I think all I can do is offer
to look into that. It is way off my territory but I understand
the point and I will get someone to write to you.
245. It is not so much writing to me, it
is that if there are problems then they need to be attended to
very quickly. I think John Hipwood mentioned when he was giving
evidence here that there was a problem with 24-hour access to
government information, often it was difficult to get an instant
response when you needed it to meet a legitimate deadline, and
it seems to me that this is the other side of the coin. I find
it hard to believe that there was nobody at No. 10 to respond.
(Sir Richard Wilson) I am surprised but I will
take this away, if I may, Mr Chairman.
Chairman: Obviously
you are not responsible for the Foreign Office. On the other hand,
if it is a home government objective to get the World Cup to this
country, or to England anyway, in the year 2006, then if that
is a Government objective and that is being damaged by the failure
to communicate Jack Straw's condemnations on the floor of the
House or whatever, obviously that is a failure of government policy
in a way, is it not, the communication of it?
246. I am not suggesting that GICS people
should be sent abroad to lie for us but they certainly ought to
be there to represent the Government.
(Sir Richard Wilson) I am surprised by what you
said and I will try and see whether something has gone wrong and
whether we should put it right.
247. Perhaps I can follow on, to begin with,
from the last point about the long hours and access to information,
which you have already discussed to some degree, but I found it
quite surprising that Mike Granatt's report to you on the Government
Information Service should contain comments about the long hours,
not because it is not a problem for people to work long hours,
because it obviously is, but because of the 24-hour nature of
media activity, which has not come about either in the last few
months or, indeed, with the general election result of May last
year or, indeed, probably in the five years before that, but over
a period of time, which has been a fact of life for some time,
I would have thought. I think it provokes the question whether
there has been sufficient management attention given overall to
the Government Information Service and the way in which it operates,
the budgetary issues, the financing of it, whether it has sufficient
staff to meet the demands and whether, in effect, what happened,
or one of the things that happened, last May was that actually
the Government Information Service found itself under greater
pressure because of focuses on things like outcomes and the nature
of the Labour Party's machine in opposition and was not geared
up, but perhaps ought to have been geared up, long before that?
It is nothing particularly to do with the change of Government
but a change in style which perhaps the Information Service has
not kept abreast of over the last decade in total?
(Sir Richard Wilson) I think we all were taken
aback by discovering how far the Government Information and Communication
Service, perhaps in some departmentsI am not saying it
is universalhad fallen behind in some ways, and I think
that has been a lesson for all of us. But the problem of long
hours is one I take very seriously. I take it seriously not only
in relation to the GICS but more generally across the Civil Service.
We, as you know, over the last five years have undertaken a substantial
amount of de-layering and that has had the effect of putting greater
responsibility on to staffI do not know if you know what
I mean but the Grade 7, that sort of middle-management leveland
I think there is evidence emerging that a lot of people are working
very long hours. If that is just happening for a peak of work,
then I think you say good in a way because people are feeling
needed and everyone can rise to a crisis when they have to. But
if that is the norm, then it becomes a worry. It is not right
that people should work very, very long hours without any sense
of relief coming, and this is a management issue which I know
that the head of the Government Information and Communication
Service is concerned about. Like any management problem we can
only deal with it by taking it up with the management of individual
departments where we perceive a particular problem to be developing.
248. You think it is confined to particular
departments, do you, rather than a problem across the service?
(Sir Richard Wilson) I think it is a problem across
the service in the Civil Service. I think there is quite a lot
of evidence. It obviously varies. There are still variations between
different parts of different departments, but there are signs
at the moment that younger people are not only benefiting from
having more chance to show their paces but are actually snowed
under and that is something which, if it is true, we do need to
deal with.
249. But that is extra resources?
(Sir Richard Wilson) I must be very careful about
extra resources because the Government is, as the Chancellor explained
last week, following a very tough policy on public expenditure.
It is a mistake always to think it is about extra resources. It
can be about how you do the work. I am now talking about previous
departments I have been in. Sometimes people answering letters
from Members of Parliamentand I think it is acknowledged
freely there is an issue there at the momentare not going
about the task in a way that is most likely to provide an efficient
service quickly. Sometimes just by looking at the way you do the
job you can make it quicker and better and relieve people's problems.
So you have to be a bit careful about assuming automatically it
is always more money.
250. In terms of the individual departments
there is also a comment in this report about the degree of devolution
and the problems of job mobility, but also in relation to what
you have just been saying, the question of devolution to departments
will affect presumably to some degree how you can make changes
to efficient working, to the style of working, to 24-hour coverage
and all the rest of it, and I wonder how you are going to approach
that issue because there are clearly questions to which that gives
(Sir Richard Wilson) Yes. I am in favour of the
decentralisation which we have put through on personnel matters
over the last decade. I would not want to go back to the days
when everything was dictated from the Treasury or the Cabinet
Office. But I do think it is the case possibly that in decentralising
to departments, delegating great responsibility to departments,
we are actually now running into a new series of problems. By
having much greater self-management of careers, applying for advertisements,
allowing departments to negotiate their own pay scales, so that
real pay differentials are developing in some departments and
others, in the GICS as elsewhere, and by having appraisal systems
which may be different between different departments, we may unintentionally
have started to erect barriers between departments. I think it
is very important indeed that the Civil Service should continue
to be a career where people can move between departments and broaden
their experience. If departments get too shut up, inward-looking,
it is unhealthy and it does not make for a good development of
the people who work in them. So I am only in month five or month
six, and one of the things I have done is to ask for work to be
put in hand on this question of mobility because I am not happy
that enough mobility is taking place. I think there is too little
movement between departments. That is my strong suspicion and
I think we may need to do something about it. What it is I do
not know at the moment but I think there is a problem there which
I have taken on board.
251. But you will have to grasp the nettle
and do it at some point?
(Sir Richard Wilson) I do not think I am going
at the moment to hazard views on what we might do but I think
we may have to grasp the nettle, yes.
252. Obviously what you are saying, I take
it, really is that the Government Information Service in a way
highlights the problem about mobility across the rest of the Civil
Service, because it is small and you can see the problems very
rapidly with it?
(Sir Richard Wilson) Exactly. Very often the Government
Information Service is where you actually spot problems which
are happening more generally because it is small and it does operate
very much at the boundaries of politics and policies.
253. What about the use or the introduction
of people who are not career civil servants into the Government
Information Service, again a topic which you could apply to the
Civil Service more generally, and some posts are open to competition
outside and what have you? What is your view about how much the
Government Information Service ought to be, or is desirably, staffed
by those who are career grade civil servants and those who have
come from a professional background in the media or marketing
from outside, because the other aspect of the Government Information
Service, I understand from Mike Granatt's report, is that half
of the specialists there are specialists in pay, publicity and
marketing and obviously our focus tends to be away from those,
but it means there is a substantial element of that and there
might be reasons also for attracting people with marketing backgrounds
into jobs with that particular focus?
(Sir Richard Wilson) Yes. My short answer to your
question is that I am in favour of merit. I am very attached to
the basic principle of the Service, that people are recruited
on merit and promoted on merit and that you have in place systems
which are as objective in the measurement of merit and assessment
of merit as they can possibly be. The competitions which have
been held for the filling of the heads of information posts recently
have differed whether they were internal to a department or internal
to the Civil Service or open. We have had examples of all three
but all of them have been carried out, so far as possible, on
the basis of assessment of merit and I think that is the main
determining factor. There is always a judgment when you look at
a particular post whether you should have an internal competition,
whether you have a sufficient source or wealth of talent or any
available in the service to bring on so that you do not need to
go outside, or whether you would benefit either in testing your
talent against the outside world or in bringing in new blood.
There is always a judgment to be made and it varies from case
to case. It varies in Permanent Secretary posts, it varies in
GICS posts, it varies elsewhere. The crucial thing is that we
have to keep up the standards of quality of our staff and we need
from time to time to test the quality of our staff against the
outside world.
254. There is one particular area, or one
further area, that I am interested in, but in relation to what
you have just been saying about people moving backwards and forwards,
certainly I think you in some of your earlier comments and certainly
Sir Bernard Ingham talked about the role of the Government Information
Service in supplying information and trying to help journalists
do their job better as well as getting over the Government's message,
as it were, that those two things go hand-in-hand, but there is
a particular role in trying to help journalists and it is surely
better, in fact, if we have people some of whom have been on the
other side of that, at least some of whom are on the inside, because
a poacher turned gamekeeper (or whichever way round you want to
see it) is a good person to understand what the issues are the
other side of that fence?
(Sir Richard Wilson) Yes and, indeed, Bernard
Ingham himself was someone who came in with albeit humble experience
of being on the press side of the fence. There is a balance to
be struck and you do need to keep up the morale of people down
the line who work like mad and you do need to give them a chance
to compete. I think that the assessment centre procedure which
Mike Granatt has invented is an excellent innovation because it
is actually a way of finding out in depth what talents the different
candidates have and giving them the opportunity to show their
255. May I go back, finally, to one of your
opening comments, which was that you had a number of comments
or disagreements or things that you did not sign up to (I think
was the expression you used) in what Bernard Ingham had said to
us in his evidence but you would allow those to emerge during
the course of the morning. I do not think they are very clearly
emerging at this point and it would be helpful for us to know
if there are any significant areas on which you have a difference
of view on what Sir Bernard Ingham said to us?
(Sir Richard Wilson) There are two particular
points I would take. This is not to say I agree with everything
else he said but there are two in particular I would like to take.
One of them is that he said that Alastair Campbell should be paid
from Labour Party funds. I disagree with that. Alastair Campbell
is not a Labour Party spokesman. I am absolutely clear about that.
If he were a Labour Party spokesman the point would be a legitimate
one, but he actually speaks on behalf of the Government and I
think that is a proper expenditure for the taxpayer. That is one
thing I would say. The other was that I recall he made some remarks
about creeping politicisation. He thought that the Government
Information Service is becoming politicised. I simply do not believe
that is true. As I have already said, the recruitment of people
to fill these vacancies has been done through an independent,
neutral assessment centre process based on merit and I am entirely
satisfied that those posts have not been politicised. If he were
making the point that Government Information Service staff work
in a political environment, there is nothing new about that and
he most certainly operated in a political environment. So just
two points.
256. Just to follow on from that, I am slightly
confused about the linen. I guess we all are in one sense. It
is, of course, the Prime Minister's comments on the floor of the
House of Commons by citing that Alastair Campbell was particularly
good at attacking Conservatives that raise the issue as to where
boundaries are drawn in this matter. Clearly the Prime Ministerand
I do not hold anything against himin the heat of Prime
Minister's Question Time and the response that one gives, gave
a line that seemed to open up what others have perceived in the
press, that this was, as in Mrs Thatcher's days, a particularly
proactive press officer and the distinction between those who
are employed by the Civil Service on Civil Service terms and conditions
and those who are engaged in a wider political battleand
this seems constant from the evidence that we have had over a
period of time, Bernard Ingham versus Alastair Campbell, a lacuna
in this form maybe in the Major yearsI am not so sure there
was a tax on press officers for being so partisanand it
is in that context, where, as you said, he is very proactive,
wants to get involved across boundaries, but one is slightly concerned
as to the politicisation of the Chief Press Officer to a Prime
Minister, that some of us thought there was a resonance. Can you
distinguish between the two functions, the closeness of a press
officer obviously to the head of Government, and that is not just
in a government role but also in the fact that he is leader invariably
of the political party as well, and whether there can be a distinction
that these are funded from party political funds when he is doing
that second role or being, as the Prime Minister used the words,
"particularly good" at that second role, attacking the
Conservatives in his pronouncements?
(Sir Richard Wilson) I have made clear that I
think what the Prime Minister said has been misinterpreted. As
to whether the job can be done in the way that I described earlier,
that is to say, presenting the Government's policies in a political
context but not becoming political in a partisan way, I believe
that is actually what Alastair Campbell does. A lot of what he
does is a great deal less glamorous and exciting than this kind
of discussion might suggest. If he were to go wrongand
I do emphasise all I was saying earlier was that if he were to
go wrongI would go along and say, "Watch it."
I am not saying he has gone wrong but if he were to go wrong there
would be mechanisms in place to make sure that we had the touch
on the tiller to get it right. I actually think he does a very
good job in a very difficult position, a very exposed position.
If there were not all this publicity and press about him, I would
simply be saying that is running right to my mind, but it is something
where he is, rightly, himself wary and where I would wish also
to be wary on his behalf. I think we all recognise the danger
but I do not actually believe that the danger has materialised.
257. I really have quite a difficulty between
the distinction of one function and the other. I accept that you
say that the Prime Minister's remarks have been misinterpreted
on the floor of the House of Commons. It is just that I do think
there should be a distinction between the roles. That we are agreed
on. You are very sensitive to it. You have highlighted it. I noticed
that Sir Bernard Ingham also was sensitive to that point about
being a public employee, a public servant, civil servant, etc.,
the non-political nature of that, and
(Sir Richard Wilson) Perhaps I can put it in a
different way because I did watch Bernard from a polite distance
doing the job for some years, and what I have said actually, to
some extent
258. And you acknowledged he gets it wrong
or may have got it wrong?
(Sir Richard Wilson) Making mistakes occasionally in that
job would be easily forgiven because I think it is an extraordinarily
difficult job to do. The thing is that Bernard also did a job
which the vast majority of the time he got right and did with
some distinction, and what is really notable is that the moment
he got a foot wrong people were on to him. You were all giving
him a very rough time the other dayand you were right in
a senseabout holding a microphone for Mrs Thatcher on the
steps of whatever that French palace was after the election results
were through. One false step and you were on to him. To some extent
that is some protection for all of us. You are so alert. You are
looking at it the whole time. Actually he did not produce many
instances in however long he was there. So I am now saying something
on Bernard Ingham's behalf. I think the fact is everybody is alert
to this and has great fun if the person gets it wrong, but it
is difficult doing that job.
259. As a matter
of fact, I think the French palace you were referring to was the
British Embassy.
(Sir Richard Wilson) It looks like a French palace.

I went peddler's mall shopping yesterday. Yep that's right...AGAIN! I guess something inside my head says "go while you can because soon you'll be in N.J. working and won't see the light of day for a while". So go I must!
The cup is so old that the silver has worn away, leaving the copper exposed underneath.
I love the detail on the this cup....
The lace is a bugger to iron but isn't it beautiful?
The weekend was filled with stitching and crafting. I don't have a picture of the stitching part though. It seems the more I stitch, the more I rip. I'm not nearly as upset as I should be though. Maybe it's because I'm stitching on the Ten Commandments?? I had to rip an entire row out but now I'm almost done with the words and can concentrate on the border.
Here's the crafting part of the weekend....
I used some red wool that came from a sweater I found at the thrift store and also some that Shirlee sent me some time ago. I used plain old string to make the sections. I stuffed the bottom with crushed walnut shells to give it some weight and fiber fill on top. I haven't sewn the top on yet.
I am starting to feel the end of March creeping up on me. I need to start gathering what we will need to pack for the outage this Spring. I am always worried that when we get there I will have forgotten something. I have to pack enough clothes for work and also "civilian" clothes for when we visit family while up north. It's all those little things that make living in a hotel for so long easier that I really don't want to forget.
Thank you all for the kind comments you have left. I am so glad you all found the links provided in my last post helpful. Now I expect to see lots of pin cushion creating out there! :o)
Looks like we might get snow here in southern Kentucky! I'm not all that excited about it but I know some will be pleased.
Thanks for dropping by!

State Improperly Withheld Records In Child's Death
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services violated the state open records law by not releasing records containing information about the death of an eastern Kentucky toddler, the state attorney general's office concluded in an opinion released Monday.
Assistant Attorney General Amye Bensenhaver concluded in the opinion that the agency should have provided the records to The Mountain Citizen, a weekly newspaper in Inez.
The newspaper had requested records that would shed light on the 2-year-old boy, who died a year ago. The agency provided the newspaper with some documents that had information redacted. Newspaper editor Gary Ball then appealed to the attorney general.
"Neither Mr. Ball nor this office could ascertain what records were withheld and why," Bensenhaver wrote. "Such obfuscation is clearly impermissible."
Bensenhaver cited recent court rulings that said information about cases involving deaths or serious injuries of children the agency has placed in foster care should be fully disclosed.
The records The Mountain Citizen sought involved the toddler who the Cabinet for Health and Family Services had placed with his aunt and uncle in Prestonsburg in September 2011.
State officials had a long list of redacted information, including "confidential information" and "unsubstantiated reports," in the records that were finally turned over the newspaper.
Ball received records detailing the child's removal from his mother's home, criminal background checks on his aunt and uncle, an evaluation of their home, and a social worker's observation of the child's interaction with his aunt and uncle. He contended that he was entitled to "the investigative files" regarding the child's death.
Bensenhaver said "the information withheld exceeds the scope of permissible redactions under the Open Records Act and that the cabinet's response to his request was deficient."
Bensenhaver said her opinion was guided by rulings from Franklin County circuit court and the Kentucky Court of Appeals in similar open records cases.

I was wondering why there had been no annoucement on the lists yet about it, though I did notice it was date stamped today. Didn't realize I had caught it quite that quick though. :) I was just cleaning up the patches and web page for beta3 when I thought I had better check the ftp site just one more time. Especially after the last two times I have sat down to work on the Linux/Alpha patches, before I could finish a new beta would come out... and I it was true once again! :( Thankfully, my current beta3 patch applied only with a tad bit of fuzz to beta4. It was only the beta1 to beta2 transistion that was painful (thanks to int8.c). I guess it is only fair that I got "ahead" for once. Glad I was able to add a bit of humor to your day. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." | | --- Philippians 1:21 (KJV) | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ryan Kirkpatrick | Boulder, Colorado | http://www.rkirkpat.net/ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Analysis of Homicidal Leadership: Causes, Symptoms and Prevention
Homicidal Leadership (HL) is a conscious overt or covert effort by a leader aimed at frustrating a targeted employee, which eventually leads to that employee quitting, resigning, being terminated or forced out of the position. Homicidal leadership generally occurs when an employee's attitudes and dispositions are incongruent with the leader's. Or, the targeted employee may lack skills or may be unable to perform at optimal efficiency. To a lesser extent, HL may be based on hearsay. Homicidal leadership occurs in both the private and public sectors. HL is often practiced by a leader who does not have the backbone to terminate an employee, or in the case of educational institutions, who feels that his or her hands are tied because the employee is tenured and it is difficult to terminate a tenured employee even when there is just cause.

Kinsey Research
Representative Steve Stockman (R-TX) says the world-famous Kinsey Institute in Bloomington, Indiana should be investigated for possible fraud and criminal child abuse. Stockman has introduced the Child Protection and Ethics in Education Act of 1995 (H.R. 2749), which calls for a General Accounting Office probe of the government-funded studies of human sexuality conducted by Alfred Kinsey nearly 50 years ago. These studies were used as the basis for Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), two lengthy volumes which have had massive influence on American society.
If the GAO concludes that the Kinsey reports were based on "fraud or criminal wrongdoing (i.e., systematic sexual abuse of children)," then any organization or school that uses these studies, without indicating their unethical and unscientific nature, would be denied federal funds for any educational purpose. The Kinsey reports are widely used as resources for education on sexuality, AIDS, family life, and diversity.
Congressman Stockman tried to determine on his own the source for the data in Table 34, a chart in the original Kinsey Report that purported to measure the sexual responsiveness of teenagers, children, and infants as young as four months. His efforts turned into a wild goose chase. "First, I was told by the Kinsey Institute that the data were compiled from the notes of a single pedophile who is deceased," Stockman says. "But, according to Kinsey's book, the table was composed from the observations of 'several adult males who have had sexual contacts with younger boys.' "
Either way, Kinsey's research into the sexuality of children -- upon which professionals in various disciplines rely for their understanding of normal childhood development -- apparently rests on the testimony of at least one sexual deviant. "This indicates that the basis of sex education in America is a study of the systematic molestation of children as young as four months old," says Stockman. The only other alternative is that Table 34 is a complete fabrication.
"Other scholars who worked with Kinsey in the early '50s have said that the numbers ... were made up -- fraudulent research," he observes. Stockman says the purpose of the Child Protection and Ethics in Education Act is "to determine to what extent the U.S. Government funded these fraudulent and criminal studies and what liabilities should be assessed."
In a letter to his colleagues in Congress, Stockman points out that the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) bases its own widely-used sex education programs on the studies of Alfred Kinsey. "SIECUS was founded with the help of Wardell Pomeroy, a co-author of the Kinsey Reports," observes Stockman. "These texts form the basis of sex education in the public schools of America. Our children have been taught that they are sexual from birth, that any type of sex is a valid outlet for their emotions. They are taught that the problem with sex is not that it is wrong to engage in homosexual, bestial, underage, or premarital sex, but that it is wrong to do so without protection."
In his letter, Stockman urged his fellow Congressmen to view a videotape called The Children of Table 34, produced by the Family Research Council. Featuring interviews with Judith Reisman and other recognized experts in the field of sexology, the 30-minute expose charges that data recorded in the Kinsey Reports are based on "systematic molestation of infants and children." The documentary concludes that the evidence of fraud and ethical violations warrants an inquiry. "This documentary reveals the real question rising from these studies," said Stockman. "Were they criminal or fraudulent?"
