The Armchair Guru speaks…
The most senior Catholic Cleric has criticised Government plans for same sex marriage. Cardinal Keith O'Brien, leader of the Catholic Church in Scotland has given the most recent opinionated view on this polarising debate.
The Church of England went first last weekend with their disdain and disapproval of UK Government plans to consult on legalising same sex marriage. I'll be honest I thought this was already legal, I mean we are in 2012.
We all know of opposite sex marriages that simply haven't worked, ending in damaging divorce. Does this mean the institution of marriage as it is known is simply outdated and no longer fit for purpose?
The war of words and rhetoric between the state and religion is not anything new. Marriage in its weird and often clandestine journey has been a private, religious and then state matter. Now it is a bit of everything, something and nothing.
Cardinal O'Brien says that same sex marriage is set to redefine reality and "dismantle the universally understood meaning of marriage".
Well let's take a look at this reality that he thinks is being redefined.
You have countries where arrangements of the very young continue to be part of marriage. We have cultures where having one partner is not considered the norm.
Marriage with its chequered history has fuelled the notion of women having fewer rights. This practice continues in many cultures and not just the obvious ones that will spring to mind. "Man and Wife…" are three words I find quite objectionable.
I am not obsessively focussed on the inequality of women. I am more a get on with it Armchair Guru. However in a modern society where a woman becomes a wife while a man stays a man, even if it is because it's just twee and how marriages were ordained is still a bit strange. However choice is choice. It wouldn't be my choice and I know it isn't everyone's.
We still have countries where marriages that end leave the woman as a pariah and untouchable. Even as a widow you can be seen as tainted, your life over when your partner died. No-one wonder they felt the need to throw themselves on the funeral pyre. I suspect it was less about a broken heart and more about a destroyed life.
Cardinal O'Brien I beg to differ that there is any universal understanding of the meaning of marriage. Even in the religion that O'Brien represents marriage is extended to incorporate young girls who adorn themselves in white at their first holy communion to become a bride of Christ.
I think we can safely say that marriage has many definitions and means different things to different people too. Like religion who is to say whose version is right? Can we not start from a place that what works for you is fine and what works for me is fine too, so we start from cooperation and not a fight?
The significance of Cardinal O'Brien's outburst isn't so much about same sex marriages for me but more about highlighting how outdated and out of touch religion really has become. It also shows how the relationship with God has evolved, many have a relationship that is likely to be based outside of the rules and sometimes shackles of religion.
This saga certainly doesn't endear me to Catholicism or any religion for that matter. Marx was right when he said religion was the opiate for people. It can make you a drone. It can make you closed minded.
On the other hand the quote: 'Guns don't kill people – people kill people' springs to mind here as being religious doesn't mean that you will be closed minded and preaching indirect or direct harm towards sections of society. Religion is simply a tool interpreted by the individual to justify their beliefs. Maybe religion isn't the issue but people's misrepresentation of it!
There is however a higher probability that in the name of God much will be prejudiced and abhorred. My god is better than yours…we've heard that playground chant for a very long time.
Marriage isn't about God unless you want it to be. Marriage isn't an institution that is owned by any Church as much as any other religion cannot claim ownership or copyright over this universal choice. It certainly used to be, but those days are gone and the institution of marriage has moved on.
In the same light the State doesn't control marriage either on its own or in partnership with the church. The biggest feature of marriage, speaking for the UK, are the people who choose to get married. Therein lays a holy trinity if ever there was one, the church, the state and the people.
What Cardinal O'Brien shares is the opinion of his religion and sadly it creates harm and division. You can't be gay and Catholic or gay and Church of England either. Ostracising some whose choices you don't agree with is bullying and dressing it up with religion is so passé.
Lord Carey said of the same: "an act of cultural and theological vandalism". Harsh words also but for both it's their choice and for that I accept their words but am not moved by them to influence me. The right to speak is equal but we must learn to speak of choice, cooperation and harmlessness. Just because you don't agree doesn't make anyone wrong.
Same sex marriage is not against religion but it appears religion is against same sex marriage.
From a Spiritual perspective, which is not organised religion, being harmless is a basic tenet of being human. Living without the need to control and coerce others to your way of thinking is also a basic fundamental aspect of community cohesion and good community development.
Is it your business or mine who gets married to who? No, is the short answer. The law provides space for all types of union for those who choose to create their lives with others as a way of protecting all concerned under the morals of law and not religion. But even the state cannot get too heavily into the business of marriage.
Marriage as a choice is something that is best left between those who choose to do it. If marrying someone who is the same or the opposite sex is your choice, then that is simply what it is. On this occasion good on the Government in helping protect those who are in unions that are classed as marriage.
It is time to live in tolerance and time for religion to modernise and stop being stuck in the muddle ages! Or to quote Ben Summerskill – Chief Executive of gay, lesbian and bisexual charity Stonewall: "Our strong advice to anyone who disagrees with same-sex marriage is not to get married to someone of the same sex." I suspect this will be the case and my advice is make marriage a union of love. If religion wants to judge your love, let them and don't get sucked into the fight with them, just be part of the wave of change!"
If churches don't want to welcome same sex marriage then boo hoo to them as my understanding of God, naïve and unacademic as it maybe is that God doesn't judge only man does, God simply loves.

If "man bites dog" is what makes news, "woman bites" dog is sure to make big news.
The police of Lake in the Hills, Ill., are discovering that after they arrested 19-year-old Analise Garner for biting her family bulldog, Kingston, numerous times in the back during a domestic disturbance.
Police in this Illinois village acknowledge that Kingston also bit Garner on the left hand, but say it was only after she attacked the dog early Sunday morning.
"The bulldog finally did bite her back in self-defense," Sgt. Mike Smith told the local press."
Smith added, "There were no charges against the dog."
As in all cases where dog bites person—even if a man or woman first bites dog—the McHenry County animal-control office was notified. A standard bite report noted that Kingston is a three-year-old, 80-pound neutered male with no previous history of biting. It did turn out that Kingston's rabies vaccinations were not up to date, and as a further matter of routine the dog was placed on a 10-day-quarantine in the home supervised by a local vet.
Garner, meanwhile, was ordered by the court to stay away from the apartment for 72 hours. Her bites promise to have no lasting physical effect on Kingston.
"The dog is fine," a county animal-control supervisor is happy to report.

4.0 stars 5 totalReview Aaron Butler
Posted by anonymous
I hired Aaron to looking over my employee contract because my former managers were trying to prevent me from taking another job opportunity. Based on what my manager did, he put my job opportunity in jeopardy. Aaron went to work and didn't waste any time. Not only did he share with me what my rights were, but he also showed me how my former employer broke the law. He immediately sent out a cease and desist letter to my managers and within a week, my employers let me out of my contract and I was able to take my new job opportunity. Aaron is a professional who's proven he's about getting results for his clients, and in a timely manner. If it wasn't for Aaron, I wouldn't be in my new role with my new employer. If you want an attorney who is personable, multifaceted in many areas of the law, and drives to get results immediately for their client, then choose Aaron Butler.

I hired Mr. Butler to represent me during my divorce which should have been a simple job. I paid him good money to handle my case and he let the opposing lawyer completely run the show. I also learned from a friend that Mr. Butler was also going through a divorce at the time and he didn't bother to mention that fact to me, otherwise I would have never hired him in the first place. He was obviously not concerned with my case and because of his negligence and poor counsel I ended up losing thousands of dollars. I had to fire him and hire someone else to represent me which cost even more money out of my pocket. My divorce could have been over quick and painless but because of his lazy attitude it ended up lasting over a year. It's amazing what people will do to earn a quick dollar these days.

Aaron is a very competent lawyer. My wife and I hired Aaron to complete our bankruptcy. Not only did Aaron take the case for a reasonable price, he also agreed to stick to his original quoted price once the case began to sprawl.
Aaron did an outstanding job of protecting our assets through the process of the bankruptcy. We came through with our house, our cars, and our retirement accounts intact. He is a masterful attorney who really puts his client's needs first.
I also like Aaron as a person- he is honest and will give you a straight answer to a straight question.
Long story short: hire this man if you are seeking bankruptcy relief.

Mr. Butler was a wonderful assistance to my family as we were dealing with a home repair contractor who was unwilling to fulfill the contract we signed but also wanted to charge US an exhorbitant amount of money to withdrawl from the contract. Mr. Butler was very helpful when consulting with him about the issues and was willing to be very flexible with his schedule to conference with us when it was convenient for us. His knowledge of consumer protection law was excellent and very informative. As soon as we authorized him to contact our repair contractor he had the whole matter settled within less than 24 hours. We have every intention of using Mr. Butler's services whenever we may need professional legal assistance in the future. We can't thank him enough for helping our family get through a stressful situation. Also, his prices are very reasonable.

Aaron did a wonderful job at my attorney and for my case. He was always available for questions, always willing to help, very flexible on payment plans. Aaron was flexible with his time and made sure he was ontop of every detail with my case. He was always on time for court times and hearings, Aaron was trustworthy and never judged me nor my situation. He always kept me informed.

ASBURY PARK — Police have left the scene of a shooting that left a 1-year-old girl, her mother and a man wounded on the streets of Asbury Park.
Police say as many as 15 bullets were fired as children played on Comstock Street Monday night.
Police say the 29-year-old mother and her baby were innocent bystanders. But officers are not sure why the 19-year-old man was involved.
The mother was shot in the ankle and the baby was hit in the leg. The injuries are not considered life-threatening
Capt. Anthony Salerno tells the Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/1h9kTii ) someone knows who committed the shooting and needs to step forward to stop the violence.
Resident Kathy Acevedo says she was indoors when the "pop, pop, pop" of gunfire made her dive to the floor.

Cab Driver Violated Civil Rights of Same-Sex Couple
Last July, a cab driver was accused of kicking a lesbian couple out of his cab, and leaving the women along I-84. The couple said the driver was throwing gay slurs at them, the driver said they were drunk and refused to pay.
The couple filed a report with Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industry and BOLI did find that the driver violated the couple's civil rights. The investigation found evidence to support the claims of the couple.
The complaint is now in BOLI's Administrative Prosecution Unit, which will try to bridge a settlement between the two parties. So far, they have not reached a settlement. There is still time for them to do so, but if no settlement is reached, the state could file formal charges against the driver. Ahmed Egal was driving a Broadway cab, but is the sole-proprietor of the car and business.

A Few Thoughts on Abortion and Planned Parenthood Videos
by Bruce Gerencser cross posted from his blog The Life and Times of Bruce GerencserI've been asked to give my take on the Planned Parenthood videos.When it comes to Planned Parenthood's mission, to provide healthcare to women, I am 100% in their corner. Providing abortions is a small part of Planned Parenthood's services, and defunding Planned Parenthood would have a deleterious effect on the health of poor women. Attempts to defund Planned Parenthood are driven by religious belief and bad science. We live in a secular state, one that supposedly separates church and state and one that values science; yet, when it comes to abortion, the debate is framed by religious claims that result … [Read more...]

text: Self-management By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Lifestyle and home remediesSome allergy symptoms improve with home treatment. Sinus congestion and hay fever symptoms. These symptoms often improve with saline nasal irrigation — rinsing out the sinuses with a salt and water solution. You can use a neti pot or a specially designed squeeze bottle to flush out thickened mucus and irritants from your nose. However, improper use of a neti pot or other device can lead to infection. Household airborne allergy symptoms. Reduce your exposure to dust mites or pet dander by frequently washing bedding and stuffed toys in hot water, maintaining low humidity, regularly using a vacuum with a fine filter such as a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and replacing carpeting with hard flooring. Mold allergy symptoms. Reduce moisture in damp areas, such as your bath and kitchen, by using ventilation fans and dehumidifiers. Fix leaks inside and outside your home. PreventionPreventing allergic reactions depends on the type of allergy you have. General measures include the following: Avoid known triggers. Even if you're treating your allergy symptoms, try to avoid triggers. If, for instance, you're allergic to pollen, stay inside with windows and doors closed during periods when pollen is high. If you're allergic to dust mites, dust and vacuum and wash bedding often. Keep a diary. When trying to identify what causes or worsens your allergic symptoms, track your activities and what you eat, when symptoms occur and what seems to help. This may help you and your doctor identify triggers. Wear a medical alert bracelet. If you've ever had a severe allergic reaction, a medical alert bracelet (or necklace) lets others know that you have a serious allergy in case you have a reaction and you're unable to communicate. Continue to eat normally if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Guidelines no longer recommend avoiding highly allergenic foods when you are pregnant or breastfeeding. In fact, studies now suggest this exposure may protect children against future allergies.

New Jersey's Election Law Enforcement Commission cited a pair of local political candidates Wednesday for failing to file campaign finance reports in the 2011 general election.
ELEC said Ricky Cistrunk, a candidate in Pleasantville, and Brandi Endicott, a write-in candidate in Port Republic, both face thousands of dollars in fines for each transaction that they allegedly did not report, although ELEC has historically imposed much lower fines on individual candidates.
Cistrunk is a Pleasantville City Councilman who has served on that body since 2002. ELEC alleged he never filed several mandatory campaign finance reports that specify how much he received and spent in the November 2011 election. These reports were due 29 and 11 days before and 20 days after an election.
This is not the first time ELEC has cited Cistrunk, a Democrat.
The agency named him in December 2009 for not reporting expenses during the 2008 general election. He later filed documents saying he did not raise or spend more than state minimums, but on Wednesday, ELEC said he still had an unpaid $556 fine dating from then. Wednesday's filing indicated the agency's previous reprimand meant he now faces fines of as much as $13,600 per violation.
Cistrunk did not return a call seeking comment.
Endicott, a Democrat, ran unsuccessfully for a seat on Port Republic's City Council in 2011. ELEC alleged she also did not file any campaign reports in the 2011 general election. Consequently, she faces as much as $6,800 in fines for each reporting violation.
She is currently the Democrats' candidate for Atlantic County freeholder in the 4th District, running to represent Galloway Township, Brigantine, Absecon and Port Republic. Republican Richard Dase is the current 4th District freeholder.
Endicott said the ELEC citation was an "oversight" and she recently wrote to the agency to explain her circumstances.
"I was a write-in candidate and I didn't raise any funds whatsoever," Endicott said. "It was just a tiny little election. It just took three people to write me in, so it was just an oversight."

You know what I would like to see as a new contentious argument for 2012? Right now, the representational artworld is all about Classical Realism, in the whole hyper-rendered lineage of those academic folks we all know and love. However, what we're missing is the debate of the kind that engulfed the art world when Ingres and Delacroix were having at it. Where's the folks on the Delacroix side of the argument these days? Someone should be around, making representational painting in the lineage of, say, Titian-Rubens-Delacroix-Manet-Daumier-The Eight, and getting all up in the grill of the ARC folks and having a real debate about whether or not those folks are confusing rendering with drawing, and what other, less rendered modalities of contemporary representational art might look like.ReplyDelete
Anyhoozles, that's an argument I think would be interesting, and worth having. It could go on for a long time, too, and would distract people from all these silly snits we're holding onto. Anybody? Anyone at all?

Usually about this time in the post-election season, the elation of the victorious and the pangs of the defeated begin to fade with the disappearance of the political yard signs we've grown so sick of. But something different is happening this year.
The enthusiasm and energy of Barack Obama's supporters is continuing to provide a sense of euphoria, dedication and purpose. Tied together by email, websites and text messaging, they are joining the effort to reconstruct America from the failures of the past.
Case in point is my local group, Durham For Obama. After the election, not 48 hours passed before the first emails went out preparing to mobilise resources – not to organise bus rides to the inauguration or other self-congratulatory measures, but to establish just what issues are most important to our local community, as well as solicit suggestions. While plans are still nebulous, a great number of good ideas have been generated, from doing door-to-door surveys to community outreach to organising ways of lobbying our representatives in support of Obama's (and our own) initiatives.
This was, without a doubt, the internet election, and the traffic on Obama's new website, change.gov, is heavy already. That's part of the transition strategy, to cement the electoral mandate with continued citizen participation. As much a platform for inter-Obamanaut bonding as a political tool, the site seeks to elicit discussion on a wide-array of topics, soliciting ideas and opinions about policy. Unlike most political websites, it's probably a good bet that someone in authority within the new administration is actually reading them with interest. Indeed, Obama plans to run the White House in the same wired way as he did his campaign.
Obama's new administration plans to use the web to its greatest effect. Already he has promised a five-day online comment period before he signs any non-emergency legislation, so that citizens have an opportunity for input after their representatives have made the laws. Are weekly YouTube fireside chats and instant email updates about policy plans far behind?
When legislation favoured by Obama inevitably gets stuck in Congress, you can count on the fact that a targeted email to supporters in the obstinate congressman's district will be sent to put pressure on him or her to do the people's business. And if a local person has an insightful perspective that might help shake things loose, you can bet that it's going to be seen by someone who can utilise it to advance the legislative agenda. To this end Obama has already pledged to not only appoint a chief technology officer for the US, but to embark on a crash programme to bring broadband internet to the vast rural areas of the country.
That's the great thing about the new style of politics. Unlike the party politics of yesteryear, where the party leadership established policy and more-or-less dictated the direction of the party to the rank-and-file, the Obama campaign and its post-campaign successor are actively combing for ideas, initiatives and activists to help drive change. They may very well change the entire American party system radically in the process.
Usually about this time in the post-election season, the elation of the victorious and the pangs of the defeated begin to fade with the disappearance of the political yard signs we've grown so sick of. But something different is happening this year.

Tel Aviv, Israel (UPI) Sep 30, 2009
Israel has taken delivery of two German-made submarines capable of launching missiles with nuclear warheads.
"We have received two Dolphin-class submarines built from Germany," Israel and Arab media reported quoting an anonymous Israeli military spokesman.
Called U212s, the submarines were upgraded in Germany by Israeli technicians and engineers in order to enable them to carry nuclear warheads.
Initially in 2006, when the sale was confirmed, the German government said the two vessels were not equipped to carry nuclear weapons.
The submarines were ordered in 2005, and delivery was originally scheduled for 2010.
With the latest delivery, Israel now holds five state-of-the-art U212s, designed for a crew of 35 and capable of launching cruise missiles that carry nuclear warheads to a distance of 2,810 miles.
The submarines are the most expensive weapon platforms in Israel's arsenal.
Since the end of the Second World War and the mass murder of Jews under the Nazi regime, Germany has made it its historic obligation to help Israel.
The first two U212s were donated by Berlin to the government of Israel after the 1991 Gulf War.
It split the cost of the third with the Jewish state, offering it at an almost symbolic price, local media reported.
"The German government decided to deliver Israel the five vessels and allow its experts to manipulate them in order to provide Tel Aviv with hardware needed to evacuate its entire nuclear weaponry arsenal on an appropriate fleet, while allowing it to be employed in warfare," the Arab monitor reported.
It said the delivery was in violation of German law forbidding the export of military equipment or weapons of non-NATO countries engaged in warfare.
One of the subs delivered by the German government is permanently stationed in the Gulf, and Israeli media have said that the fleet of five vessels could be key in any decision by Israel to launch an attack on Iranian targets from the sea.
An Israeli submarine recently used the Suez Canal for the first time, anchoring in the Red Sea in a journey that would have normally required the Israeli vessel to travel around the coast of Africa.
Escorted in June by Egyptian navy vessels, the move was intended to send a message to Iran.
The delivery of the submarines follows Tehran's missile tests earlier this week.
Israel suspects Iran of trying to develop atomic weapons under the pretext of its civilian nuclear program. Tehran has repeatedly denied the charges, saying it is acting well within its rights.

Throughout the month of November local adoption centers will be offering kittens for the bargain-basement adoption fee of $10.
Kitten season starts in January and often reaches its peak in the fall in Santa Clara County. The race to find a home for the kittens is fierce as local shelters are filled to the brim with felines.
City of Palo Alto Animal Services, City of San Jose Animal Care & Services, Humane Society Silicon Valley, and Town Cats in Morgan Hill are participating in this adoption event.
The Santa Clara Animal Care & Control in San Martin and Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority also will be offering cats, but not for the same low price.
The shelter felines have undergone health and behavior checks and have been spayed or neutered to ensure they are ready for a new home. Shelter officials urge people in the community not only to adopt the babies, but to help round up stray cats and have them neutered before returning them to their regular haunts.
Materials, supplies, and volunteers are also in demand at these shelters during kitten season.

the blockades - Davey
Local Liberal Democrat MP,
Edward Davey has called on the Government to break the
petrol blockades. Edward Davey said:
should order these blockades to be broken. The
country cannot be held to ransom by a tiny
"If this goes on businesses will close, operations
could be cancelled and vulnerable pensioners could go
without food or visits.
"Whatever their argument, the hauliers' blockades
are hurting ordinary people and cutting off the lifeblood
of the economy. They must be ended."
In addition to using the law to break the blockades,
Liberal Democrats would:
* Cap the money the Government receives from the
fuel duty and VAT on fuel. The Chancellor's war
chest should not profit at the expense of motorists.
* Ring-fence the extra revenues it has gained from
petrol and spend the money on public transport and action
to help road hauliers.
* Reduce VED for road hauliers, financing the loss
by charging foreign lorries to drive on our roads.
* Cut VED for small, fuel-efficient cars.
* Campaign for motorists to practice fuel
economy. By reducing their speed, drivers can save
up to 8p a litre.

Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA - Good things come to those who wait. Good things, as evident on Saturday night, wear No. 7 for Penn men's soccer.
In his final game as a Quaker, senior captain Travis Cantrell scored one goal and assisted on two more as Penn finally checked two markers off its list of season goals in a 3-1 win over Harvard in 2012's final match.
The win was the first at home all season for the Quakers and the first inside the Ivy League, moving Penn ahead of the Crimson in the Ancient Eight table to round out the season.
Fans should have expected a fast-paced match with two teams playing to end the season on a positive note. The focus on scoring was evident with two goals 51 seconds apart in the third minute of action. Harvard scored first, 2:02 into the match on a crossing play between Brian Rogers and Hiroki Kobayashi. Their passing sequence found the foot of Zack Wolfenzon who scored left post to give Harvard and early one-goal lead.
Penn, rather than wilt on another bad break in a season rife with them, mounted a comeback brief in nature but effective in result. 51 seconds after conceding the lead, Penn answered on the first career goal for Kamar Saint-Louis. He chipped on a ball from 23 yards out, lofting it over the head of Harvard keeper Evan Mendez who has taken the slightest of steps out of position. Mendez was drawn out of position once the ball found the feet of Travis Cantrell, who feigned a shot and slipped a pass to Saint-Louis for the goal.
In the second half, Cantrell again initiated a strike for the Red and Blue, serving a corner kick over the scrum and to a waiting Jonny Dolezal outside the far post. Dolezal one-touched a pass back to a wide-open Sam Engs who knocked in his second goal of the season in the 54' to give Penn the lead.
11 minutes later, Cantrell scored his final goal as a Quaker, finishing a pretty passing combo between Engs and Duke Lacroix in the 65th minute. Lacroix started the play, attacking a defender head on at the 25-yard area. Lacroix dished to his left to Engs, who quickly sent the ball back across the field to an onrushing Cantrell who stepped into his shot for the no-doubt insurance marker.
Tyler Kinn picked up the win for the Quakers with a six-save outing in goal. He made four of those stops in the final 45, including a point-blank stop on Kobayashi on a breakaway in the 84' to preserve the two-goal lead.

Independent Finds Yet Another "Unprecedented" Global Warming ChallengeMark Finkelstein, writing for Newsbusters, makes well-deserved fun of the ridiculous UK Independent story "Starving Polar Bears Shame Bush to Act," dated February 12.
The article begins:
Starving polar bears are presenting an unprecedented challenge to George Bush's refusal to take action over global warming - and may succeed where environmentalists and other governments have failed in getting him to curb pollution...Thoughts on the opening sentence:
1) Can "a refusal' be "challenged"? President Bush can be challenged, but "a refusal" isn't responsible for itself. What would be the point of challenging it?
2) If this particular global warming challenge is "unprecedented," how do we characterize the 999,999 other articles in the Independent crying about global warming challenges? Were they secretly about something else?
3) The Bush Administration (correction: U.S. taxpayers) spent $10 billion since 2001 on clean energy research and Bush proposes increasing this by 22 percent. The UK Independent may call this "a refusal to take action," but you can be sure the Independent's stalwart commitment to whining about Bush would not keep them from utilizing whatever benefits may come from this spending.
4) "Getting him to curb pollution." Does this even need to be fisked? Americans in the private and public sector have spent billions curbing pollution (primarily not a climate change issue anyway, even if one accepts the environmentalist notion that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, which it is not), and Bush has not stopped this. In fact, despite what one hears from often politically-motivated environmentalists, Bush has added to these regulations. (Take, for instance, environmentalist complaints about Bush's mercury regulations. Bush, unlike Clinton, acted decisively on mercury, but MoveOn.org nonetheless ran an ad campaign attacking their design -- featuring the Clinton Administration's EPA director. Shameless.)
I could go on fisking this piece, but fisking its first 35 words took me 298 words. At that rate, fisking the entire thing would take 3,900 words. The article doesn't deserve that kind of attention, and, besides, I promised my kids I would take them out to play in the snow.
Addendum, 2-12-06: The Political Dogs has identified "more eco-garbage." Bizzy Blog seems to be taking it more seriously, however.

Laughs and Landscapes Exhibition for VasLan Media
In 2014 my self and a small group of youth volunteers were commissioned by VasLan Media to create a collection of short films that documented some of Southern Glasgow's historical and cultural sites. The exhibition was showcased in New Lanark where it was very well received over the summer months. During the project I worked with several young people mentoring them in the methods of film making, teaching them the basics and occasionally throwing in some classic techniques. The point of this exhibition was firstly to presents Southern Glasgow's rich history by covering many different areas from the Cambuslang Miners to The David Livingston Centre. The second was to give young volunteers the skills, experience and a portfolio of film's that would help secure places in higher education and a route into the creative industry. I'm proud to have been able to hopefully set these young filmmakers and artists on their way to long creative futures.

Where we are today.
Vauxhall is leading from the front foot of the automotive industry. The recent announcement that it is to be core sponsor of the UK Football Association's Home Nations teams has concluded an exciting two years in which the company has launched a wide variety of eye-catching customer incentives to accompany its highly-regarded product lines.
Most importantly, in August 2010 Vauxhall was the first car company to offer a Lifetime Warranty with its new cars, a groundbreaking initiative that has now been extended to its used models sold through Network Q.
Since the Insignia model went on sale early in 2009, it has dominated the popular mid-size class, its premium styling and forward-thinking technology helping it win the coveted European Car of the Year award.
In other sectors, models such as the recently facelifted Corsa and British-built Astra, figure continuously in the UK's top ten most popular new cars, while generating a succession of new and interesting derivatives.
Vauxhall's low-emissions ecoFLEX range has been expanded and now covers almost all car lines, with a total of eight models alone achieving less than 100g/km, and many others scoring less than 120g/km, providing customers with reduced fuel bills and tax-breaks for company car drivers. The crowning glory in Vauxhall's green strategy will be the revolutionary Ampera Extended-Range Electric Vehicle, which provides real-world usability and will launch later this year and appear in UK showrooms early in 2012.
Three models will dominate Vauxhall's launch schedule in 2011. In February, the new Antara will reach UK showrooms, offering generously-equipped SUV motoring for under £20,000 — a highly competitive price in this rapidly growing sector. In addition, the new Zafira will be launched this year and the three-door Astra — shown in concept at last year's Paris show — is also likely to make an appearance in the UK press, bolstering Vauxhall's sporting credentials still further.
Founded in 1903, Vauxhall is the UK's oldest automotive brand. In 1905, the company moved to Luton from London and rapidly established itself as a manufacturer of quality motor cars. General Motors bought Vauxhall in 1925 — the first of GM's overseas acquisitions — and a long line of memorable cars followed, such as the Cadet, Light Six, Big Six and 10-Four, all of which saw Vauxhall safely through the Second World War.
Today, Vauxhall's modern assembly plant at Ellesmere Port can produce more than 180,000 cars and vans a year, including the Astra 5-door hatch, the Astra Sports Tourer and the Astravan. GM Manufacturing in Luton, which builds the Vivaro model, as well as derivatives for Renault and Nissan, is the UK's largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.0049 Monday, 10 January 2000.
Date: Sunday, 9 Jan 2000 13:33:27 -0500
Subject: Web Site
Dear SHAKSPER-types:
For some time now it has seemed to me there might well be something
missing from all the different varieties of Shakespeare web sites on the
internet. I was thinking of a site aimed more at the great unwashed
mass of Bard fans, those who enjoy discussing the playwright's life and
works but make no claim to the highest academic degrees or impressive
scholarly backgrounds. In other words, a cyberplace where ordinary
people can have a good time talking about Shakespeare.
So I take the liberty of mentioning the web site titled "Savage
Shakespeare," designed for just this purpose. (The address is
Thanks for your consideration.

Mollie's Public House
WHERE: 31 Forest Ave., Riverside
HOURS: Kitchen from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Bar remains open until midnight Monday through Thursday, until 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and until 10 p.m. Sunday
DRESS CODE: Casual
INFO: www.molliespublichouse.com, 708-447-2233
When I stepped into Mollie's Public House in Riverside, I was in a contrarian mood. Feeling like I had settled into a rut of always ordering the same sorts of meals no matter where I went, I was resolved to try something out of character.
Something I would normally reject out of hand. I perused the menu and forced myself to overlook some pretty enticing options, such as the buffalo wrap, classic Reuben and half-pound burgers. All sounded great, but I needed something different.
Then I came across "Big Bad John." The description read:
"Roasted pork loin wrapped in bacon, stuffed with corned beef and Mollie's sauce topped with cheddar cheese and a pineapple slice, served on a pretzel bun. Accompanied with our hand-cut french fries."
Pork loin. Bacon. Corned beef. Cheddar cheese. With a pineapple slice. I could safely say I'd never eaten anything like it.
My dining companions opted for more standard fare, a burger and the shepherd's pie, and both looked terrific. They're on my to-try list the next time I stop by Mollie's. But the Big Bad John sandwich dwarfed all other food options. It's probably the largest sandwich I've ever attempted to consume. I wanted to finish it – who wants to let pork loin go unfinished? – but it was such a massive amount of food, I couldn't manage it. But I certainly got my money's worth, and my taste buds were pleased by the savory combination of meaty flavors and the occasional hint of pineappley sweetness.
Since my visit, Mollie's has posted a summer menu online that replaces such heavy, cold-weather options with some lighter fare. Most notably, it offers a slew of salad choices, including a grilled vegetable salad with asparagus, squash, zucchini and red pepper, and a fregadero salad (fregadero is Spanish for kitchen sink) that has more ingredients than I have space to list here.
The interior at Mollie's is an authentic pub experience, with lots of dark wood features, but a high enough ceiling that it doesn't feel cramped. There's a sporty vibe with TVs mounted above the bar, and a soccer jersey on display, plus a great outdoor seating area to enjoy the fresh air and ambiance of Riverside's downtown.
Frankly, I don't think I'd get the Big Bad John again, as much as I enjoyed it, because wolfing down that much protein just isn't the norm for me. But given that I had a great experience even while going outside my comfort zone, I'm sure I'll be even happier with some of the options that are more aligned with my typical palate.
Assuming I'm not in a contrarian mood again the next time I drop by, that is.
The Mystery Diner is a newsroom employee at Suburban Life Media. The diner's identity is not revealed to the restaurant staff before or during the meal. Only positive experiences will result in published reviews.

By the time, I did some random tests with 'ip arp', and found a simple way to solve the problem I reported initially. This can be of interest to others BTW : Trivial example below : My host wants to use address 10.0.0.1 to talk to the world, but through the gateway 188.8.131.52 reachable from 22.214.171.124 : ip address add 10.0.0.1/24 dev eth0 ip address add 220.127.116.11/24 dev eth0 ip route add default via 18.104.22.168 src 10.0.0.1 => same as before till this ip arp append table output to 22.214.171.124/24 oif eth0 src 126.96.36.199 => now it will use 126.96.36.199 to find its gateway (18.104.22.168) So as a general rule of thumb, I would recommend people to systematically call "ip arp append table output to [network] oif [NIC] src [local_ip]" after an "ip address add [local_ip] dev [NIC]". And yes, I agree that these are standard tools, but I maintain that the default behaviour should be cleaner. I also found that I can filter incoming requests easily with "table input" : ip arp append table input deny ip arp add table input allow from 22.214.171.124/24 to 188.8.131.52/24 iif eth0 ip arp add table input allow from 10.0.0.0/24 to 10.0.0.0/24 iif eth0 I don't understand how the forward table is used, BTW, but I'll search a bit more. If I finally understand how all this works, I may propose a simple how-to to put under Documentation/networking/arp.txt so solve most common problems. Cheers, Willy

After stating their names and where they were from, three Assyrian Christians wearing orange jumpsuits were shot in the back of the head as they knelt in the desert sand.
The next scene of a video released by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) on Oct. 7 shows three additional Assyrian brothers in Christ kneeling before the bodies lying in the bloody sand. As the masked ISIS fighters stand behind them with pistols in their right hands, the men share their names and the middle one, pointing at the bodies, declares "Our fate is the same as these if you do not take proper procedure for our release."
Before stating their name, each hostage said "I am Nasrani," a derogatory Muslim term for Christians.
The execution of the three men, Dr. Abdulmasih Enwiya, Basam Michael and Ashur Abraham, took place Sept. 23 – a day Muslims celebrate the "Festival of the Sacrifice."
The Assyrian Christians were among the 253 villagers who were abducted seven months ago in northeastern Syria's Hasaka province, where ISIS militants attacked 35 Assyrian villages along the Khabur River.
Of those originally abducted, ISIS released 48 elderly and child hostages. ISIS is demanding $50,000 for each of the nearly 200 remaining hostages.

Mr. HULTGREN. Madam Speaker, $52,653. A lot of numbers have been associated with our skyrocketing debt and government overspending, but $52,653 is a particularly striking one and should give everyone pause as the specter of an unwanted sequester looms over the Federal budget this week. $52,653 is the amount each individual American man, woman, and child owes as of today to pay off the country's $16.6 trillion debt.
Clearly, overspending by the Federal Government has saddled us and our children with unsustainable debt, And just as clearly, any alternative must include reduction in spending.
I'm not looking for winners or losers in D.C.; I want the American people to win when we make the cuts that need to be made. Controlling spending is a necessity. Targeted spending cuts, such as the House has twice proposed and passed, is vital to the sequestration solution.
There is nothing worse than passing on a legacy to our children of a lower standard of living. Madam Speaker, we can and must deal with this issue of debt and overspending so that our children will not have to face $52,653.

Be very keen to know if the company you want to hire will carry your work itself or they will sub contract another company. Hire the company that will do your work itself and it will be answerable on its own. Make sure the company is well registered and has fulfilled all the legal requirements.
Be aware of the type of contract you will enter with the building company. Before you sign any document with them be sure of the following. All the cost and charges you are expected to pay. It should be clear what would happen if some unforeseen cost occurs. The time they would take to finish your work should be very certain. Any special condition in the contract should be explained to you. The agreement should also state the mode of payment. You should also be aware consequences in case of breach of contract by either party. Seek legal advice from your attorney for more information.
Be sure the company you have chosen will meet your expectations. Ensure the company has good reputation and not involved in scandals. Hiring the best building company would ensure you have a house that would be your pride for many years.
