Soundscape: Chain ferry to Guineaaudio, soundscapes posted by listentoafrica on Dec 15th, 2009
We reached the river that demarcates the Guinea-Bissau / Guinea border between Pitche and Foula Mouri early, while wisps of mist still hung over the river. The chain ferry tilted in the water at the near bank, attached to a chain stretching between the two banks. In this recording, you can hear the clunking of chains and the chatter as passengers hauled the ferry across the river. As our equipment was buried deep in the Land Rover (we took a lift across Guinea for security reasons), this was recorded on Atlantic Rising's kit, while they were doing real work (thanks folks!). You can read more about this journey in the blog.

In the war between waterhemp and producers, waterhemp is winning, says a University of Missouri Extension state weed scientist.
"As I drive around, I'd have to say that we're not there yet," said Kevin Bradley, who discussed waterhemp at the recent MU Crop Management Conference in Columbia. "I think we are doing better, but waterhemp is our driver weed. We pretty much make every decision on that one weed."
Bradley, who is also an associate professor of plant sciences in the MU College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, says the problems with waterhemp go far beyond glyphosate resistance.
"If you've just got glyphosate-resistant waterhemp, you should consider yourself lucky," Bradley said. "We're seeing waterhemp with multiple resistance to all the other herbicides that we would use to control glyphosate-resistant waterhemp, so we have fewer options and it is much more costly to control."
A different mindset when it comes to weed control is needed, Bradley says. Producers can no longer rely on the simplicity of a glyphosate system.
"It was simple, it was easy, it controlled everything, and now that is just simply not the case at all," he said. "As I look into the future, we're going to get more complex with our weed management. It is not going to get simpler."
Controlling waterhemp will require more proactive management, spraying much smaller weeds, and rotating to herbicides with different modes of action.
Bradley says understanding the biology of waterhemp and identifying its strengths and weaknesses is important. And its strengths are formidable: Waterhemp produces on average 300,000 seeds per plant, grows an inch and a half a day during the height of the growing season, and has evolved resistance to just about every herbicide ever sprayed on it.
"We can name strengths all day long. That's the hard part about waterhemp; it has so many things that enable it to survive," Bradley said. "But more important are the weaknesses, and waterhemp has two as I see it.
"Number one, waterhemp seed is relatively short-lived in the soil-four or five years. If you've kept waterhemp from producing seed and returning seed back onto that land for four years, you are probably going to virtually eliminate waterhemp from your fields."
The second weakness Bradley cites is that waterhemp seed does not emerge from low soil depths. He doesn't recommend it to every grower in every place, but where appropriate, deep tillage can bury that seed and it will not come up.
"In addition to understanding the biology of waterhemp, if we can rotate to multiple modes of action I think we can really get a handle on this problem," Bradley said.
For more information, see the MU Extension publication "Management of Glyphosate-Resistant Waterhemp in Corn and Soybean" (IPM1030), available for free download at www.extension.missouri.edu/IPM1030.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Behind the team's first two double-double's of the season by Christina Granville and Chelsea Williams the Saint Leo women's basketball team (5-0) defeated the Warner University Royals, 65-57, Wednesday evening from the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
In the non-region win, Saint Leo saw key baskets down the stretch from a pair of Lions as both Granville (21 pts., 12 rebs.) and Williams (10 pts., 11 rebs.) registered double-doubles en route to the team's fifth-straight win to start the season.
Saint Leo's offense was rolling from the opening tip as they quickly jumped out to a 16-point advantage as six different scorers assisted the Lions to a 25-9 lead with 9:08 to play in the first half.
A few moments later, Elise Clyburn capped a 6-0 Saint Leo run to give the Lions their largest lead of the game at 19 points.
On the opposite side, a stout Lions' defense held a normally prolific Warner offense to just 26 points as they coasted into the halftime break up 11, 37-26.
The Lions needed the lead, however, as Warner went on a three-point binge to reestablish themselves in the game. Despite scoring the opening two baskets, Warner connected on four three-point baskets over the first eight minutes to cut the lead to five, 45-40.
After briefly cutting the lead to three, a Williams' layup sparked a Saint Leo 8-0 run to expand the lead back out to 11.
Warner refused to quit as they used the remaining five minutes to slice into the Saint Leo lead one final time. After Shawnelle Campbell hit Warner's 12th three-point basket to cut the lead down to three, the Lions' defense stepped up and held the Royals scoreless over the final minute, and Saint Leo iced the game from the free throw line en route to the eight-point win.
Overall, the Lions turned the ball over a season-low 14 times and forced 17 of their own. The Lions' bench poured in 27 points and shot 42 percent (25-of-60) from the floor. Saint Leo also dominated the boards as they hauled-in 46 rebounds. Kinnara Lewis also chipped in a season-best 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting.
The Lions will return to action on Saturday, December 3, when they host Southeastern. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. from the Marion Bowman Activities Center. For the latest news, information, and updates on the women's basketball team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

I have a correction to make on the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies from last week. I forgot to add the 1 teaspoon of vanilla and it should have 2 eggs not 1. Sorry.
I hope these soups will warm you to the bone and make for a cozy night. Add some crusty bread to accompany the soup or fix a simple salad. Have a little dessert later with a cup of coffee or milk, and you're set for bed. If you have any recipes you would like to share, you can send them to my email judyd2313 @frontier.com. I would love to hear from some of you good cooks. I know there are a bunch of you out there with some different soups recipes.

|Associate Athletic Director
|(352) 588-8224
A long-time veteran of Saint Leo athletics as both a coach and administrator, Mike Madagan was named Associate Athletic Director in July 2015. In addition to assisting with sport oversight, Madagan oversees the University's athletic facilities including their game-day setup, maintenance and scheduling. He will also direct the Lions' developing summer camp operation as well the game management aspect of Saint Leo's game day operations.
After 12 years of serving as an assistant coach at the Division I and Division II levels, Mike Madagan served as Saint Leo's head men's basketball coach from 2001 to 2011. Madagan was assistant coach at Division II national power Florida Southern College and Division I University of South Florida prior to accepting the position at Saint Leo.
Madagan learned the game of basketball from the ground up. His desire to coach was fueled by four years as a student manager for the Northern Illinois University men's basketball team. Madagan graduated with a major in physical education in 1988. His coaching career began that fall at Conestoga High School in Berwyn, Pa.
The native of Newport News, Va., who graduated from D.C. Everest High School in 1983, joined the staff at Saint Leo in the fall of 1989 and served for three years as an assistant coach. He left here to become an assistant coach at Florida Southern College, also a member of the Sunshine State Conference. The Mocs won two regular season league titles, two tournament crowns and advanced to the Division II post-season tournament twice during his time there.
Prior to joining the Lions, Madagan served as assistant coach at Division I University of South Florida for five years. His duties there encompassed a wide range of responsibilities. His on-court coaching emphasized team defense and working with the front court players.
During the season he coordinated written and video scouting reports. In the off-season, Madagan was in charge of player skill development with individual workout programs. He also organized team travel, helped secure non-conference games, monitored player academics and handled the team's equipment, apparel and footwear needs. Madagan also assisted in various aspects of recruiting and ran the USF summer basketball programs.
Madagan earned his master's degree in physical education from South Florida in 1993.
Madagan is married to the former Georgianna Kimbrough. The couple has two children, Hannah and Sarah. In addition to raising two children of their own, the Madagans are involved with six other children from two different families and have been since 1989. The Madagans were featured in a Tampa Tribune article titled 'Every Day is Family Day' in the main sports section on Fathers Day in 2001 for their accomplishments.
The Madagan family resides in Dade City, Fla.

We thought 694 would present the worst travel problems this morning, but, in fact, I-94 through Woodbury and into Minneapolis is the biggest headache.
It's taking up to 45 minutes for commuters to get from Manning Avenue over to 35W in Minneapolis.
It's also plugged on westbound Hwy. 36 from 35E to W and ahead on 35W from Industrial Blvd. to downtown Minneapolis.
That is taking up to 30 minutes.

Today's storylines: UF at Miami
Published: Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 6, 2013 at 8:02 p.m.
Jones is off and running
Actually, Matt Jones figures to be doing more than just toting the rock for the first time this season. He'll also likely be catching it. When Jones distanced himself from the competition at tailback last spring, one of the big things in his favor was his ability to catch the ball with his big, soft hands. UF realized after last season that the backs were underutilized in the passing game. In Jones, the Gators have a real threat coming out of the backfield in passing situations. The big question today is how much he'll be able to play. He's been out since before the start of camp with a viral infection and has not really been hit yet this season. And, the heat and humidity could be a factor in how long he stays in the game and how many carries and catches he gets.
'Canes are running hot
The Hurricanes have some nice little streaks going headed into today's game. Perhaps the most impressive one is on offense, where UM has been flying up and down the field in its last three games, dating back to last season. During that three-game run, the 'Canes have piled up 126 points (42 a game) and 1,697 yards (565.6 a game), while winning by an average of 22 points. The defense also has an impressive streak going. The 'Canes have not given up a touchdown at home since Nov. 1 against Virginia Tech, a span of almost 161 minutes. All those offensive and defensive numbers may look and sound awesome, but consider this: that three-game offensive run came against South Florida, Duke and Florida Atlantic, while the TD streak was against South Florida and Florida Atlantic.
Secondary looking to atone
The last time the Gators faced a top drop-back quarterback, the results were not good. In the Sugar Bowl in January, Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater blew up a Florida secondary that had been sound and strong all season. It was probably the most shocking aspect of that loss from the Gators' perspective. Cornerback Jaylen Watkins said the defensive backs have not forgotten that humbling experience in the Sugar Bowl and are looking to atone, not just today (which, of course, could be vital in the outcome of today's game) but over the course of the season. The secondary will be facing one of its toughest tests today. Stephen Morris is one of the best passing QBs the Gators will see this season and the Hurricanes have speed and skill at the wideout positions.
Will Gators try to grind it out?
Miami's biggest defensive deficiency last season was its inability to stop the run. That certainly sounds good to the Gators, whose offensive strength is on the ground. The 'Canes think they've improved their run defense since last season, but the reality is the UM front was not really tested in an opening-night breather over offensively challenged Florida Atlantic. The 'Canes will find out today if, in fact, they are stronger against the run, because the Gators will try to pound the ball.
Duke hazard
Miami sophomore star back Duke Johnson is off and running to start his 2013 campaign. Coming off a career-high 19 carries for 186 yards and a touchdown before leaving in the third quarter of the Hurricanes' opener against Florida Atlantic, Johnson will again be the focal point of the offense. Johnson faces a much tougher challenge today in a Florida defense that only surrendered 50 rushing yards in its opener.
Turning a corner
The Gators' stacked secondary didn't seem to miss a beat without Loucheiz Purifoy in the opener, but they will be happy to have him back against a passing attack led by Miami quarterback Stephen Morris. With Purifoy, Marcus Roberson and Jaylen Watkins in the mix, it will be interesting to see how much action touted freshman Vernon Hargreaves III will get.
Flag football
Both UF and Miami are coming off debut games that saw flags flying liberally throughout. The Gators were penalized 10 times for a total of 70 yards while the Hurricanes saw eight flags for 67 yards. In a game where many in-state players have history with each other, maintaining discipline when tempers are flaring could be vital to a team's chances of winning.
Kicking habits
With a strategy of stingy defense, tough running and strong special teams, UF earned 11 wins last season. The defense and running game again got it done in Florida's opener, but the special teams were not exactly special. Filling the shoes of new Miami Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis is Austin Hardin, who missed a 39-yard try last week. Inconsistent kicking could be an issue in what might turn out to be a close game.
Today's game questions
1. What kind of impact will Florida tailback Matt Jones have in his first game back from a viral infection?
2. Will the Gators be able to hold Miami's Duke Johnson to less than 100 yards rushing?
3. Can the Gators hit some plays in the downfield passing game?
4. UF will be facing more of a classic drop-back passer today. Can the Gators bring some steady heat against Stephen Morris?
5. Will the Gators continue to hurt themselves with penalties?

I would try putting a live usb in and see how apt-get works in that. were you perhaps not as root when trying to update? Was another package manager running?
hope this helps
After having some issues getting triple booting to work, I have it all up and running. I have my laptop wired to my router, and can access the internet. When I try and update via apt-get update, it tries to connect to the archives, but doesn't get past connecting, and doesn't update. One of the errors is failed to fetch xx could not connect to archive, connection timed out(paraphrased).
The kicker is the last line says "W: You many want to run apt-get updated to correct these problems". I tried to ping it on my other machine but it couldn't connect either.
So either it's my isp blocking it, which to my knowledge they don't, but you can never be sure. Or there is an issue with the archive server, or a problem with my bt4 install and have ping disabled on the archives server.
Or I could have just missed something very obvious for the past few hours, which at this point I wouldn't put it past me.
I would try putting a live usb in and see how apt-get works in that. were you perhaps not as root when trying to update? Was another package manager running?
hope this helps
I tried it just with apt-get and sudo apt-get, with the same results with both. The only thing I had opened was the terminal. I don't think I said this in the first post, but linux isn't my strong point right now (not nearly as good as my google/search has gotten), but it has gotten better in the past few months. So if there is something simple I'm missing, please let me know.
I'll try the usb live and report back.
Well all I can tell you is that the reposerver is fine so its most likely a issue on your end.

I assumed it was something I did, but it doesn't hurt to check if a truck hit a power pole and took out the power.
I get the same results from a live cd, I also tried my live usb drive, but I think I broke grub on it, but I'm reformating that anyways for a multipass. I bypassed my router and still the same thing. So I'm left with my isp blocking it for some reason, or something is wrong with my install/install cd, since I had to do a manual install because it couldn't see my hard drive in the partitioner.
Since I'm pretty much out of ideas, I'm going to try it again with my college's internet tomorrow to see if it's a problem with my isp, and then see if any one there has any ideas.
I'd run a traceroute on to repositories. It sounds more like a networking issue beyond your hands.
Good call, I tried it, makes it to my external address of my router, then times out. So it doesn't know where to go from there. I tried doing a few searches to make sure it is using the correct IP, but I couldn't find any answers. The address I'm trying to connect to is 22.214.171.124, if someone could tell me how to check to make sure it is the correct address that would be very much appreciated.
Guess something is wrong with my home internet. I tried once I got to class and it worked perfectly. oh well, I'll just have to update at school from now on.
Thanks all

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/8/2013 (1453 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Tony Soprano, Don Draper, Walter White -- the swaggering, self-destructive men of prestige TV. Audiences can't get enough of these audacious antiheroes.
But their wives? Not so much. Somehow the women have been left to bear the brunt of the hatred that slides so easily off the backs of their manipulative, sometimes murderous spouses.
That's the way it is on Breaking Bad, where Walter White is considered complex and compulsively watchable as he kills people and cooks meth. Meanwhile, his wife, Skyler White, is attacked and despised. Her unforgivable sins? Mostly being shrill and naggy.
Skyler-bashing has become such a blood sport on fan sites and online comment boards that the phenomenon of hating the antihero's wife is termed "The Skyler White Effect." One commentator slyly defines this as what happens "when a female character is presented by the narrative as absolutely correct in her judgment of a male character, and yet the viewers assume she's the bitch."
The hostility directed at Skyler has recently become so intense that it extends to the actress who plays her. Last weekend, Anna Gunn took the unprecedented step of writing a New York Times op-ed piece about an Internet onslaught that has included death threats.
So what has Skyler done that makes viewers hate her so? (Besides smoking those three-and-a-half cigarettes when she was pregnant, of course.)
There are a few issues in play. First of all, there's momentum. Breaking Bad show creator Vince Gilligan has famously said that he wanted to take Mr. Chips and turn him into Scarface. There is an unstoppable narrative drive in the series that encourages viewers to identify with Walt as he fulfils his destiny, no matter how horrific that destiny is starting to look. Many fans see Skyler as at least a hindrance, at worst an obstacle to Walt's monstrous rise.
The identification effect is amped up by the fact that Walt, like many recent TV antiheroes, is a suburbanite who lives dangerously. Meanwhile, most of the show's viewers are suburbanites who totally DO NOT live dangerously.
From comfy couches, they're rooting for Walt as he transforms from a cautious, minivan-driving chemistry teacher to a scary, dead-eyed drug lord. Walter blowing up somebody's car or mowing down two street-level dealers? That's a vicarious thrill. Skyler worrying about a $15.88 charge on the MasterCard bill? That's just a bringdown.
Then there's LA FAMILIA. Family is everything, as any psychopathic cartel assassin will tell you. But many fans don't like Breaking Bad's domestic subplots. They would prefer more of those desert drug deals gone bad and fewer of those family breakfasts, where the Whites all pick at their eggs and silently stare at each other.
You can argue that it's Walt's increasingly hollow facade as a family man and straight-up citizen that gives the show its moral depth and dramatic tension, as well as its moments of bizarre comic juxtaposition. (Drug money in the diaper box. Blood on Walt's wallabees.) But a lot of viewers don't want to hear of it. For them, exploding DEA-informant heads are fun. The home front, represented by Skyler, is a drag.
Then there's simple old-school misogyny. Gunn suggests many people who have a problem with Skyler have a problem with "strong, nonsubmissive, ill-treated women." She believes "most people's hatred of Skyler (has) little to do with me and a lot to do with their own perception of women and wives."
Maybe the best evidence for misogyny is the fact that Skyler simply can't win. When she opposes Walt's desires, she's viewed as a harpie and a hypocrite. When she becomes his reluctant collaborator, she's considered an emasculating meddler. (Saul Goodman calls her "Yoko Ono.")
Then there's the strange conflation of the actress with the character, as if Skyler is such a bitch that she must be a bitch through and through. No one thinks Bryan Cranston actually peddles drugs to schoolkids, but many seem to believe that Anna Gunn is a strident, self-righteous shrew.
And what about the criticisms of Skyler's weight? That's right: According to an online "Periodic Table of Death," Walt can be connected, directly or indirectly, to 247 deaths. (And that was before the murderous new season kicked off.) But for some reason, we're worrying about Skyler's dress size.
Gender also factors into the likeability issue. Audiences have embraced the concept of the male antihero, the man who is dark, difficult, pressed in by circumstances and moral compromise. Within this paradigm, these guys aren't jerky; they're just manifestations of the tragic modern condition. Meanwhile, most female protagonists, especially wives and mothers, are still expected to be sunny and likeable.
So Skyler isn't likeable. Who on Breaking Bad is? Walt has long since gone to some terrible place where likeability isn't even an issue. Arguably, the only likeable person on the show is little Holly, the world's most convenient baby.
For Team Skyler, the solution wouldn't be to make Skyler good. In fact, the worse Skyler gets, the better a character she is. In the last two seasons, Skyler has been breaking fairly bad herself, whether she's sleeping with Ted, looking up "money laundering" on Wikipedia or just struggling with a tightening knot of actions and consequences, means and ends.
The show's writers have to take some responsibility for the problems many viewers have with Skyler. Her descent from happy suburbanite to complicit criminal hasn't always been believable, her motivations haven't always been fully rounded out and she has often ping-ponged inconsistently between nice and nasty.
Still, good or bad, Skyler seems destined to bear the weight of viewers' hatred.
There's a moment in the third season when the alarming, non-blinking Gus Fring says to Walt, "What does a man do, Walter? A man provides for his family." A crucial subtext in Breaking Bad is the new reality of the 21st-century American economy, in which it is hard for a regular guy with a regular job to be the sole support of his family.
Walt's solution to this common problem is a bit extreme. Most men worried about their children's college funds don't end up dissolving bodies in hydrofluoric acid. But like many of TV's recent antiheroes, Walt is a man having to redefine his role in a world of rapidly shifting economic and social conditions. And it's a sad and ugly truth, seen not just in The Skyler White Effect but in our culture as a whole: When masculinity is in crisis, women better watch out.
Walt will tell you he does what he does to provide for his family. You could take Walt at his word -- and a lot of the Skyler-haters do -- but you should maybe keep in mind what happens to people who take Walt at his word.
Breaking Bad becomes a much more interesting show if you see Walt as a master manipulator whose actual motivations are murky, especially as he increasingly doubles down on some mythic idea of masculinity. Skyler probably understands this better than most, which might be why some viewers choose to hate her. Walt has faced off against some real criminal bad-asses, but his final challenger might be his wife. As she memorably tells her husband: "Someone has to protect this family from the man who protects this family."
You go, girl.

Morrison's new novel speaks of 'Love'
Toni Morrison says there are two ripe features that aggrandize humans: love and language. So it is no wonder that her eighth novel, "Love," speaks to the human condition in search of its own voice.

Comedian and columnist David Mitchell, star of Peep Show and That Mitchell And Webb Look, has long played on the comic image of lonely, dysfunctional loser. But, as his autobiography Back Story reveals, he's really an incurable romantic who fell hopelessly in love with his fiancee, writer and presenter Victoria Coren - and waited three years for her to ditch her boyfriend before making his move. He tells Hannah Stephenson about their forthcoming wedding and his plans for the future.
By Hannah Stephenson
He's posh, uncool and a little nerdy. In fact, comedian David Mitchell has long played on the comic image of lonely, dysfunctional loser.
He made his name as repressed, socially inept Mark Corrigan in Peep Show, the longest-running sitcom in Channel 4 history which begins a new series in November co-starring his comedy partner Robert Webb.
And in his autobiography Back Story, the witty panellist on QI, Would I Lie To You? and Have I Got News For You, admits he's never been much good with girls.
Until the penultimate chapter, that is, when readers will discover that the Cambridge graduate and star of That Mitchell And Webb Look is really an incurable romantic who fell hopelessly in love with writer and presenter Victoria Coren - and waited three years for her to ditch her boyfriend before making his move.
"I'd never really had a long, meaningful relationship before," he says now. "I'd had the odd one-night stand here and there. I thought maybe it wouldn't work out for me.
"I had lots of friends who were serial monogamists and had a series of relationships, none of which was perfect, and I thought, that's not for me. I don't want to go out with someone who I'm not head over heels in love with.
"But then I met Victoria. It took us a while to get together but I was smitten."
They met in 2007 at a film premiere party and went out on a few dates, but then she dropped a bombshell when she emailed him to say that she didn't think the timing was right.
She went on to find another boyfriend. Mitchell went out and got drunk a lot.
"I didn't tell my closest friends or my parents of the enormous sadness that overshadowed my life," he writes. "I was ashamed and I knew what they'd say. 'Stop indulging yourself in these hopeless feelings. Snap out of it. She doesn't want to go out with you - she said so'."
Today, recalling this phase, he laughs and adds: "How did I feel? The word 'bad' springs to mind.
"It was terrible but at the same time I felt, you know what, I think it's still going to happen."
As his private life collapsed, his career went from strength to strength, with the sitcom, the sketch show and his appearances on panel shows.
Three years later, Coren, who is also a champion poker player, became single again and they started dating. They got engaged in March this year when he popped the question in her kitchen and the announcement appeared in The Times newspaper.
"She's clever, funny, beautiful," he says, beaming. "I think she's amazing. She's brilliant at what she does.
"For three years I thought about her all the time, and I still do but in a much happier way. I get to spend all my time with her and she is the most fun person to be with. That makes me incredibly happy.
"I didn't know whether I was built to be in a couple and finding that I am is tremendous.
"Life is a lot less bewildering and stressful when there's someone to talk to who you know will back you up whatever happens."
They live together in her London flat and are tying the knot in November in London. Webb will be the best man (Mitchell was Webb's best man in 2007). So will he be giving Webb any tips on what not to include in his speech?
"I'd much rather he didn't offend anyone than worry too much about being funny," says Mitchell, seriously.
Aside from wedding planning, Mitchell is currently promoting his memoir, which he wrote while sitting on a yoga ball due to a long-term back problem.
It takes readers on a walk across London (Mitchell finds relief for his back in walking) while he reminisces about his childhood, comedy career and other aspects of his life.
Born in Salisbury, Wiltshire, he is the son of a couple who ran a West Country pub in the Seventies and then moved to Oxford where they became lecturers in hotel management. The young Mitchell began to tread the boards at New College prep school in Oxford, but never thought he had a talent for comedy.
"I remember thinking, I'm quite bright but I'm not funny. It was only when I was a teenager and got involved with the debating society at school that I realised that, while some boys were trying to make arguments, I'd be trying to make jokes."
He failed to get into Oxford University but was offered a place at Cambridge to study history, becoming president of Cambridge Footlights, where he met Robert Webb. The pair formed a double act which has lasted 20 years.
Mitchell struggled to make ends meet for some years after leaving university, hanging around in digs in London's Swiss Cottage which he shared with friends.
"In some ways I was very driven," he recalls. "I knew exactly what I wanted to do and I wasn't going to give up. But I was extremely disorganised and quite lazy. It was that student combination of dynamism and incompetence."
He says now that Robert Webb kept him going. The fact that there were two of them working together made it easier to stick it out. They began performing a number of two-man shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and were then given the chance to write for Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller.
But it was their multi-award-winning Peep Show which raised Mitchell and Webb's profile to new heights, as did the sketch show That Mitchell And Webb Look.
Mitchell's quick wit and intelligence also made him a prime candidate for fast-moving, verbal-sparring panel shows including QI and Mock The Week.
Indeed, he was once nicknamed the 'Prince Regent' of panel games. Why does he do so many?
"I love doing them. You don't have to write the show, you just turn up and show off in front of people and, with a following wind, they'll laugh."
He is now wary of doing too many, though. "There was definitely a time when I did too many panel shows, I turn more down now and think more carefully about whether people need to see me again. But I do enjoy them and my whole career has always been about getting to do what I enjoy for a living.
"If you think too seriously beyond that, then you might as well be trying to climb the corporate structure of a multi-national."
He originally thought that the book was going to be a series of rants about issues that annoy him, but has to think hard about what things currently get his goat.
"As soon as you say that, the emptiness of my brain appals me. I've got to the point where I'm annoyed that things aren't annoying me."
In February, Mitchell and Webb will be appearing in a BBC Two comedy drama about diplomats called Our Men, in which Mitchell plays the British ambassador to a new fictional state, Tazbekistan.
But for now, his focus is on his personal life as his wedding day looms. And it's clear what love means to him...
"It would have been an incomplete life, one not properly lived, if I'd never fully loved or had the amazing feeling of it being reciprocated."

"We used this enclosure card to include some additional details for our guests. This card is the same size as the rsvp card, which is my only negative comment. I would have liked if it was slightly larger to give some variation in sizes. Also, this card came with free envelopes which I thought was strange - in most wedding invitations this card has hotel information (or something similar) and would never need to be mailed back. Nonetheless, I accepted the free envelopes and hope to use them casually."
"We ordered out free 8 samples and loved almost all of them, we had a last minute charge of heart on the original design selected and couldn't be happier with our choice! We love the boarding pass design, its fun and tropical for our destination wedding - we order in teal"
"This card was used to provide hotel information to our guests for our destination wedding. The palm tree and colors really set the beach tone. I was impressed with the quality of the paper (I didn't upgrade)."
"I loved the products! On the invitation I got the pearl shimmer but you can barely see it. The texture of the RSVP cards and the direction/reception cards was much better. I chose sandstone for all of my cards. Our colors are egplant and tan/sand. At first I thought I had chosen a light purple but it must have been my monitor but I loved our save the dates which were also "On The Shoreline" and sandstone so I went with it. I was afraid it was going to be too plain but I feel they are perfect! Text was made to fit I am very satisfied with these invitations I just wish there was more shimmer. Great invitations! Very happy!"
"We ordered these to go along with our invitations and I almost like these better than the actual invites. The pearl shimmer paper is gorgeous and worth the extra money. I'd highly recommend them!"

DRIVERS are being warned to expect long delays on Castle Lane East again this evening.
Yesterday hundreds of drivers were stuck in severe traffic jams due to temporary traffic lights at Barrack Road in Christchurch.
Road closures at Stony Lane, the Avon Causeway and gas works at Christchurch High Street also added to the problems.
Some reported being stuck in the car park at Royal Bournemouth Hospital for hours as they waited to get on to the main route.
Bournemouth Council tweeted to warn motorists there could be long delays between Royal Bournemouth Hospital and the Iford roundabout during this evening's rush-hour.
Meanwhile, Dorset County Council have issued contradictory statements about when the Barrack Road temporary lights will be gone.
A statement from Southern Gas Networks earlier said the work was due to finish by the end of Thursday and the lights would be manned at peak periods. "We'd like to apologise for any inconvenience which may be caused and thank motorists for their patience," a statement added.
Dorset County Council, which granted the company a licence for the work, said the lights should be removed before the Wednesday evening rush hour.
A hospital worker, who asked not to be named, said yesterday: "It's absolutely disgraceful.
"It's total disorganisation – I left work at 3pm thinking I would beat the fiasco and I've moved about two inches in 40 minutes.
"There's no direction from anybody, there's going to be an accident.
"There are patients here coming out that have had surgery and they're sitting in their cars."
Patient Nick Simpson said: "I've been in the hsopital to have my eyes lasered and I've been stuck in the bottom car park for about two hours."
Hospital worker Sara Padroni said: "I've been here for one hour 20 minutes and I'm at the same point I was before.
"In my opinion if someone switched off the traffic lights and they started to use common sense, the traffic would flow."

Mushroom Meatballs and Tinkyada Spaghetti photo by vsimon
This recipe appeared on the Healthy Eats blog as a guest post. But the post has disappeared, so I'll recreate it here.
You can sub many things for bread crumbs in meatballs and meat loaf. But my favorite is finely minced mushrooms. They are healthy, low cal, and enhance the meaty flavor.
And if you are into hiding veggies, they will never give you away. No colored specks, they look just like meat.
These mouthwatering meatballs are half meat and half mushrooms. This makes the meatballs so tender, even with the leanest meat. You'll be sure that many mushrooms won't mix into the meat, but they will.
You need to be gentle when simmering them in the marinara sauce. Keep the simmer low and don't disturb them for about 15 minutes. By then the meatballs will be "set" and you can carefully slide a metal spatula under them and turn them.
Use your favorite gluten free brand. I like Classico, we also like the Classico jar with measurements on the side. The website says they are not recommended for canning. But we save them and use them in the water bath canner all the time. (This cannot be a recommendation. Do this at your own peril.)
There are many other gluten free kinds of marinara available. Be sure to read the labels. And you can make your own of course.
Gluten Free Spaghetti
There is an explosion of choices now. I counted 8 different brands of spaghetti in the ever-expanding gluten free section of my regular grocery store today.
What you really want to know is:
What is available in my store?
How can I be sure it is gluten free?
Does it taste, look, and behave like "regular" pasta?
How much is it?
Gluten free is such a hot trend now that Bon Appétit did an article on their top three gluten free pasta brands. Two were from Italy, available online, and very pricy. Seven or eight dollars for 8 ounces, without the added shipping costs. That works out to about $15 dollars a pound. For that price, I prefer to treat myself to really good steak instead.
One brand in BA's top three is Ancient Harvest Supergrain Quinoa Pasta. No spaghetti in the store today, but they did have linguini. Close enough to give it a test (taste) drive. Suggested retail is 2.99 for 8 ounces. A bargain, sold!
When you open the box, there is a surprise inside. It's yellow, a combo of quinoa and corn flour. The directions say to cook for 6-9 minutes. Six minutes was truly undone. Eight minutes was perfecto. There is a small window to get this right.

My review
Ancient Harvest Supergrain Quinoa Pasta vs. Tinkyada
Some will like the sunny color of Ancient Harvest, others may think it is just wrong. The flavor and texture are fine. A few of the strands stuck together and didn't soften as much as the rest, despite stirring during cooking. Nutritionally, this pasta offers more fiber and iron than other gluten free pastas.
Ancient Harvest Supergrain Pasta comes in two varieties. One is gluten free and one is not- a combo of quinoa and wheat. At first glance, the boxes look nearly the same. My store stocked both in their gluten free section. Oops! And guess which one I grabbed first, bought, and cooked? Double oops! Be sure to thoroughly read the label and buy the gluten free kind.
My old time favorite gluten free pasta is Tinkyada. It is my standby and is in the meatball picture. For a long time it was the only real contender in gluten free pasta. Readily available, reasonably priced, similar in taste and texture to wheat. Made with brown rice and additional rice bran, it is bit paler, softer, and blander than wheat pasta.
And some folks prefer it to wheat pasta. Families with a few gluten intolerants and some not, easily switch to Tinkyada pasta. Suggested retail is $3.96 for 16 ounces. The best deal yet.
Tinkyada takes longer to cook, about 15 minutes. With a bigger window to get it just right. And since it is rice based, even brown rice, it is lower in fiber than Ancient Harvest pasta. Despite being whole grain, rice is pretty low in fiber. Tinkyada has 2 grams fiber per serving, Ancient Harvest 4 grams.
Tinkyada makes only gluten free pasta. So you do not have to worry about buying glutinous pasta. I am going to stick with Tinkyada.
Gluten Free Spaghetti and Mushroom Meatballs
Yield: 6 servings
1 pound fresh mushrooms
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
1 tsp dry mustard
2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano, basil, and rosemary)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (1/2 teaspoon if you like it spicy)
1 egg
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
24 oz gluten free marinara sauce
8 oz gluten free spaghetti
additional parmesan, optional
Pour marinara sauce in a large sauté pan with a lid. Large enough to hold the meatballs in a single layer. Use two pans if you need to. I like to have the marinara on a low simmer before I shape the meatballs, so I can put them in the sauce as I shape them.
Pulse the mushrooms in a food processor until they are the size of grains of rice. You might have to do this in batches.
In a large bowl, mix up all the meatball ingredients. Your hands work best for this. Shape into 18 meatballs.
Cover and simmer meatballs in sauce for about 15 minutes without disturbing them. Gently turn and cook 10-15 more minutes, or to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Meanwhile cook gluten free spaghetti according to package directions.
Drain spaghetti and place on dinner plate. Top with 3 meatballs and sauce. Garnish with parmesan if desired.
Make ahead
This dish freezes well. I package leftovers in lidded, stackable glass or ceramic containers. I prefer just 1 or 2 servings per container because they thaw and warm faster than larger amounts. Simply pull several containers from the fridge if you need more servings.
Layer spaghetti, then the meatballs, and sauce on top. Cover, date and label each container. Cool thoroughly in the fridge, then freeze. Thaw in the fridge overnight and warm in the microwave for just a few minutes per serving.
Dinner's ready!

Every time we view the trailer for the final film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, we find ourselves in a dark and dangerous mood. And whenever we get in a dark and dangerous mood, there's only one thing that will satisfy: deep, dark chocolate desserts. Just like the bat-signal, our cravings must be answered.
Fortunately, we've got plenty of lethal dark chocolate recipes on Cooking Channel. So go ahead: Indulge your dark side.
Our Favorite Dark Chocolate Recipes:
Mark Bittman's Chocolate Souffle — it's the ultimate "dark" indulgence that also "rises".
Laura's French (aka sexy) cake oozes dark chocolate — molten, hot liquid is a sure sign of danger.
These dangerous bacon-chocolate chunk cookies — and Nadia G. herself — will lure you to the dark side.
Sweet vs. salty, good vs. evil: Who will prevail? We should probably think this through over a thick slice of cake.

and later in discussion Anoran mentioned Cyrillic 'Ш' and 'Щ' as 'difficult to distinguish'.
Well, I'd like to add that 'a' and 'd', as well as 'l' and 'I' and many other are tergwariously similar. But English readers usually do not have issues with distinguishing them as well as Russian readers do not get confused with 'Ш'/'Щ'.
I believe that human perception can be amazingly precise, if properly taught. But I believe that the Tengwaritis does really exist.
We are all here about constructed scripts, me included. I've produced my own writing system for Russian and exercised reading in this newly constructed script a lot (I can convert Russian texts from regular Cyrillic to my script). So I have an experience to learn reading from the beginning. There are several stages of ability to read:
1. Not all letters are memorized.
2. All letters are memorized.
3. All letters are memorized and being recalled with no effort.
4. Words are being recognized with no effort.
I have reading skill 4 in my native Russian and 3 in my conscript. In my experience Tengwaritis is a disease which happens on stages 1 and 2. So I do not think elves have any Tengwaritis except on very early stages of education.

Late loss overshadowed by Happ's injury
Rays can't hold lead after Jays' pitcher struck in head by line drive
ST. PETERSBURG -- Late troubles continued to haunt the Rays on Tuesday night. A night after blowing a seven-run lead, they let a three-run lead get away in a 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays at Tropicana Field.
The Rays' second consecutive loss to the Blue Jays dropped their record to 14-18 on the season. More to the point, the loss was the team's 13th in which they held the lead in the game at some point.
The game was overshadowed by a scary injury to Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ, who was struck in the head by a line drive off the bat of Desmond Jennings in the second inning and was taken off the field on a stretcher and transported to Bayfront Medical Center. A nursing supervisor at the hospital told the Associated Press that Happ was listed in stable condition.
Maicer Izturis provided the winning margin when he homered off Joel Peralta with one out in the top of the ninth, completing the Blue Jays' comeback from a 4-1 deficit -- their second comeback win in as many nights.
"I was aggressive going into that at-bat," Izturis said. "I needed to be aggressive with that guy. And I was lucky I got a fastball and put a good swing on it. I feel like sometimes when I'm aggressive and put a good swing on it, the ball jumps off my bat and that's what happened tonight. I wasn't looking to hit a home run."
Peralta blamed the location of the pitch for the outcome.
"It was supposed to be down and away. I missed middle up and he got it," Peralta said. "Straight fastball."
Peralta was hardly the lone offender in the bullpen.
Roberto Hernandez started and had his best outing to date for the Rays, allowing one run on five hits while striking out seven over six innings before giving way to Jake McGee, who started the seventh with a 4-1 lead. The struggling McGee allowed a leadoff double to Adam Lind and Cody Rasmus followed with a home run to make it a one-run game.
Melky Cabrera doubled off Kyle Farnsworth to lead off the eighth inning. After he moved to third on catcher Jose Molina's passed ball, Jose Bautista doubled him home to tie the score at 4-4.
Tampa Bay's bullpen allowed five runs, sending the collective ERA of the group soaring to 5.19, which is the highest in the American League, despite throwing only 78 innings, the second fewest in the Major Leagues. Last year's bullpen pitched to a 2.88 ERA, the best in the AL.
"It's a bad stretch for almost everyone in the bullpen right now," Peralta said. "We're probably trying too hard. And sometimes the harder you try, the worse it goes. Right now, we just need to try and make the pitch in the right spot at the right time. We know how to do that. We've done that before. And I think everything is going to be alright if we do that."
Despite the recent collapses, Rays manager Joe Maddon still believes in the group.
"By the end of the season, that's going to be one of the best bullpens in the American League," said Maddon, who got ejected for a second-inning argument with homeplate umpire Marty Foster. "I have that much faith in these guys. This is one of those anomaly moments. I'm watching it from inside like from the third inning on ... there's all this crazy stuff happening. I don't know where the moon is right now. I don't know exactly what's going on, but I have that much faith."
Trailing 1-0 after Lind's first home run of the season with one out in the second, Tampa Bay got busy in the bottom half when Sean Rodriguez led off with a double to left off Happ. James Loney followed with a single to center that moved Rodriguez to third. Jose Molina then put down a bunt on the first-base side and Rodriguez attempted to score.
First baseman Edwin Encarnacion fielded the ball cleanly and went home with the ball. Catcher J.P. Arencibia tried a sweeping tag and appeared to miss Rodriguez, but Foster called Rodriguez out. That led to Maddon's ejection, but it did not end the rally.
A wild pitch by Happ allowed Loney to score and Molina to move to second. Yunel Escobar then singled and moved to second on a throw to the plate, while Molina went to third. Jennings then silenced the ballpark with a line drive off Happ's head.
The ball ricocheted into the right-field corner. Both runners scored as a visibly troubled Jennings advanced to third with a triple, while keeping an eye on Happ, who was sprawled on the mound.
An 11-minute delay ensued while Happ was being attended to on the field. The Blue Jays' left-hander was strapped to a stretcher and taken to the hospital for treatment.
Happ's condition remained a major concern for everyone inside the Rays' clubhouse. As for the way the Rays have been playing, Maddon was adamant about his belief that his bullpen is simply experiencing a bump in the road.
"Moving forward, I know it's frustrating right now for the fans to watch this stuff," Maddon said. "It's frustrating in the clubhouse. But it's an accountable group with great stuff, and they're going to be back."

Did you know?
The youngberry is cultivated in Australia, South Africa, and the southern United States.
Just a few kilometres outside the Overberg town of Swellendam, located in the lush Hermitage Valley, is the Wildebraam Berry Estate.
Here visitors can enjoy a free tasting while they sample some of the hundred or so delicious jams, chutneys, pickles, relishes and liqueurs produced in the farm's kitchen.
These products are made not only with the berries from the farm, but also using fruits like guava, gooseberry, pineapple and piquant peppers, which add a bite.
Sample the Pineapple Passion (a fruit compote perfect for making Pavlova or topping scones with), Sun-dried Tomato Mustard, Jalapino Jelly or Rattlesnake Bite (a tomato and chilli relish) to get a sense of the variety on offer.
Among the most popular products are the 10 Wildebraam liqueurs made with distilled alcohol, sugar and a fruit or flavour infusion. These flavours include youngberry, cherry, peppermint, honey, lemon, rooibos, hazelnut, fennel, guava and choc chilli (the most popular one in the range).
Many of these liqueurs work well on ice cream or as an after-dinner drink.
The farm also has several hectares of youngberry and blackberry bushes under cultivation.
Youngberries are a hybrid invented by an American called Byrnes Young, hence their name.
These berries are trickier to grow than blackberries and favour the acidic soil of the Hermitage Valley. About 85ha on the farm are devoted to blackberries.
If you visit in November or December, you can pick your own berries for a nominal amount, and eat as many as you like while you go about it. Frozen berries are sold all year around.
The goods on sale at the farm have no artificial flavourants, colourants or preservatives and so should be consumed quickly.
But then that is certainly no hardship!

Boston Globe Ignores Unprecedented Conservative Obstruction Blocking Obama's Judges
Blog ››› ››› SERGIO MUNOZ
A Boston Globe editorial noted that by the end of his first term, President Obama will have appointed far fewer lower court judges than either of his two predecessors, and chided him for "fail[ing] to make the most of an opportunity to shape the federal judiciary." The editorial referenced a recent New York Times article that highlighted unprecedented Republican obstruction of President Obama's nominees but does not actually mention this fact. By ignoring Republican obstruction, the Globe gives its readers far less than half the story.
The federal judiciary currently has so many vacancies that more than half of Americans are living in a "judicial emergency." That is, as district judges are increasingly faced with disproportionately large dockets, attention to individual cases falls, resolution is delayed, and access to justice for everyone suffers. As The New York Times reported, as of August 17, "Mr. Obama has appointed just 125 such judges, compared with 170 at a similar point in Mr. Clinton's first term and 162 for Mr. Bush."
This New York Times article upon which the Boston Globe relied repeatedly provides the reason for this significant difference. In large part, our federal courts are straining to perform their vital constitutional duty because Senate Republicans have engaged in unprecedented obstruction and refused to allow votes on even uncontroversial nominees. According to the Times:
Senate Republicans also played a role, ratcheting up partisan warfare over judges that has been escalating for the past generation by delaying even uncontroversial picks who would have been quickly approved in the past.
Even when the White House produced nominees, they faced significant obstacles on the Senate floor. Republicans used procedural rules to delay votes on uncontroversial appeals court nominees and on district court nominees, forcing Democrats to consume hours of precious Senate floor time on confirmation votes for judges of a type that previously would have been quickly handled.
But the Boston Globe editors ignore the Republican factor and instead argue Obama "should have picked up the pace." The Globe's readers are left without a clear response to the editorial's criticism that "[i]t's hard to understand how a president who headed the Harvard Law Review and taught constitutional law could fail to make the most of an opportunity to shape the federal judiciary."
As judicial nominations expert Professor Carl Tobias noted early on about this campaign of obstruction, Senate Republicans have caused the "confirmation bottleneck" since the beginning of Obama's presidency. It has not gotten better. According to the Alliance for Justice's most recent analysis on the state of the judiciary as the President's first term closes:
The Republicans' goal has been clear from the start--to keep as many seats as possible vacant for a future Republican president to fill with ultraconservative judges. Their tactics have meant that with one in ten judgeships unfilled, millions of businesses and everyday Americans have had their cases delayed and their lives disrupted. Before Congress recesses for the election in October, it is essential that the Senate mitigate the harm that endless obstruction has done to the federal judiciary and give a final yes-or-no vote to every nominee submitted by the president in 2012.

The US Congress might have made a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, but you don't actually think they're done with 11th-hour partisan battles that bring the country's finances to brink of ruin, do you?
Of course not. Sometime in the next six weeks, the US Treasury won't have enough money pay the government's bills. Prevented from borrowing more because of the self-imposed debt ceiling, it'll face two options: either Congress must agree to raise the debt ceiling, or something awful will happen.
Confused? Here's what you need to know.
What is the debt ceiling?
Before 1917, the US Congress literally had to approve each new debt issuance, deciding on the bond's maturity, its interest rate, and what the money was specifically to be used for.
This became too burdensome on the eve of World War I, when the US government needed to quickly spend a lot of money without stumbling over administrative rules. So, in 1917 Congress passed the Second Liberty Bond Act, which provided authority to issue new debt with relaxed restrictions on the maturity and redemption of bonds being issued.
Those restrictions were eased throughout the 1920s and 1930s until being removed in 1939, replaced by an aggregate debt limit. After that, Congress basically told the Treasury: "You can borrow this much money. Go figure out the best way to do it." When the limit was hit, Congress raised it. Thus began the modern debt ceiling.
What's happened since then?
Since 1939, Congress has raised the debt ceiling 83 times, or about every nine months. It's usually raised without any fanfare or protest. Raising it became an issue only in recent years, when political parties realised it could be used as a bargaining chip.
Logically, there's no reason for there to be any protest. The most important thing to understand about the debt ceiling is that it doesn't control how much money Congress spends. It controls the ability to pay for what Congress has already agreed to spend.
What's happening now?
The current debt limit, $US16.39 trillion, was hit last week. The Treasury can still pay the government's bills on time by juggling around payments - what it calls "extraordinary measures" - but only until the middle of February. After that, the government's previously agreed-upon spending will exceed tax revenue, and without the ability to borrow more, the Treasury won't have enough cash to pay its bills.
What happens then?
They've never not raised the debt ceiling, so there's no precedent for what might happen if Congress doesn't reach an agreement.
The Bipartisan Policy Centre estimates the US Treasury will receive $US277 billion in tax revenue between February 15 and March 15 and owe $US451 billion in spending commitments, much of which are tax refunds. So just in the first month, there's $US174 billion in bills that the Treasury would be unable to pay.
Legal scholars and government officials, including Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, dispute the idea that the Treasury can "prioritise payments" to pay the most important bills first and may instead be forced to pay obligations on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Mix them up any way you'd like. Someone or some program that most people would deem a "priority" isn't getting paid.
And that's important in the eyes of global financial markets. Even if bond interest is prioritised and paid on time, it's likely that investors would see any group not getting paid as a government default. Lending is about trust. If you see a defence contractor not getting paid for services it's already delivered, would you trust the US government's creditworthiness? You probably wouldn't. And neither would the bond market.
There's no telling what would happen to markets if the debt ceiling isn't raised, but the odds are high that it would be some form of panic, almost certainly sending the US (and likely world) economy back into a recession (which, ironically, would worsen the deficit). Ben Bernanke put it politely: Not raising the debt ceiling "would no doubt have a very adverse effect very quickly on the recovery. I'm quite certain of that."
If Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling, is there a reasonable Plan B?
Two options have been proposed that would let the Treasury borrow more even if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling.
One is to invoke a clause in the 14th Amendment to the US constitution and challenge the legality of the debt ceiling. But as President Obama said last year, "My lawyers ... are not persuaded that [the 14th Amendment] is a winning argument." Press Secretary Jay Carney put it more bluntly: "This administration does not believe that the 14th Amendment gives the president the power to ignore the debt ceiling - period."
Another is the so-called "platinum coin" option, where the Treasury exploits a law that lets it mint special-edition platinum coins in any denomination. In theory, it could mint a trillion-dollar platinum coin and cash it in at the Federal Reserve, thus creating enough money to pay its bills without borrowing more. As long as the Fed sold enough bonds to soak up the new cash created, it wouldn't lead to extra inflation.
Is the platinum coin option ridiculous? Of course. But so is voluntarily defaulting on your debt.
If they don't raise the debt ceiling, is the US bankrupt?
No. The debt ceiling is a self-imposed limit, and this is a self-imposed crisis. Global markets are more than willing to keep lending the US government money at very low interest rates. Congress can end this nonsense as soon as it wants to.
Cue Ronald Reagan:
"The country now possesses the strongest credit in the world. The full consequence of a default - or even the serious prospect of default - by the United States are impossible to predict and awesome to contemplate. Denigration of the full faith and credit of the United States would have substantial effects on the domestic financial markets and on the value of the dollar in exchange markets. The nation can ill afford to allow such a result. The risks, the costs, the disruptions, and the incalculable damage lead me to but one conclusion: The Senate must pass the legislation before the Congress adjourns."
Foolish takeaway
Australian investors know that while China's rise has made it an important trading partner, the US consumer sector still largely calls the global economic shots. A US recession would be bad news for the global economy, and we're far from immune, as American demand for Chinese (and other) manufactured imports would certainly waver or fall.
The best we can do is hope that US lawmakers aren't silly enough to plunge themselves into a crisis entirely of their own making, and to which they have the (unbelievably simple) solution. They wouldn't, right?

The following is a previously published column.
It was just a couple of weeks ago when a friend and I were having a long-distance conversation on the phone. I'm not sure which one of us brought up the topic of Father's Day, especially since both of our fathers are deceased.
The two of us have a lot in common when it comes to our fathers because neither of us had a Dad who took an active role in our lives. While my father was far more absent than her father was, we both know the pain of living without a male parent. We both know what it was like to see our friends with their fathers and listen to their stories of the roles their fathers played in their lives. As adults now, we are able to talk about it openly. More important, we are now able to acknowledge how our fathers' absence affected who we've grown up to be — good and bad.
It's no secret how the absence of a father can cause many problems for children, teens, adults. While the parental load is much lighter for children with just one active parent in their lives, the baggage can be considerably heavier. I'm sure there are statistics out there to prove that, but take my word for it ..., an AWOL father can cause some damage — mentally, psychologically, emotionally ...
As we continued to chat, something troubling occurred to me. It was obvious my friend still harbored a ton of resentment toward her then-absent, less-than-wonderful and now-deceased father. Her comments dripped of bitterness as she relayed incident after incident where her father had disappointed her. At one point, I even heard her voice crack as the pain from days gone by filled her heart. She spent quite a few minutes telling me how her father's actions (or lack of actions) had caused her to become a person who still lived with the effects of her deadbeat dad.
Perhaps that's why we're such good friends because I could clearly relate to her pain and bitterness, her hurt and troubled soul. Even though we both had other positive male role models in our lives, it didn't take the place of the man we were supposed to call Dad.
But while I understand her emotions, I believe I am different now. Sometime quite a few years ago, I came to the realization that I am not defined by the actions of an absent father. While I allowed him to make his absence my problem for many years, there came a time when I had to look at my own face in the mirror (ironically a face that looks like his) and give myself permission to go on without his baggage. Even though he was majorly responsible, I had to quit blaming him for my own shortcomings. I had to stand on my own two feet and say, "OK, Terri. He didn't give a damn about you, but now you have a choice. You can let that continue to destroy your life ... or you can move on."
I chose to move on ...
Now when I think of my father, I have more pity than pain, more apathy than empathy. I no longer think of what he ruined; I think of what he missed. The end result is that I am no longer bitter; I am better.
Years ago when I was consumed by a man who didn't give a damn about me, I wish someone would have told me — maybe even given me permission to drop his baggage and never look back. I can't get those years back, but I can tell a friend it's OK to let it go ... to move on ... to stop looking back.
And so I did. After all, we are who we are — genetically linked but not emotionally attached, and it's OK. I think I heard some relief in her voice after our chat. After all, sometimes letting go is the start of a journey we should have been on all along ...
To all the great dads out there ... You have my utmost respect.
And to those who can't be bothered ... I hope my words will cause you to think about how your actions impact the child you brought into this life.

CALDY registered their ninth National Two North victory of the season but it could not have been closer at Paton Field last Saturday.
In the end a converted 77th minute try tipped the balance Caldy's way 26-25 over a hard working Otley outfit in a tense and intriguing contest.
It was sweet revenge for the Wirral side who lost to a late score 27-31 in the away clash in October.
Otley will be kicking themselves as victory just eluded them. Few would have begrudged them at least a share of the spoils.
It was not to be but at least there was some compensation for them by way of taking away a brace of bonus points.
Happily the threatened rain held off for the most part. Caldy faced the wind in the first period and did well to turn round only 12-20 in arrears.
It seemed they would comfortably redress the balance later but Otley showed true Yorkshire grit and almost got home.
Caldy were behind in the eighth minute to a try by Fred Watson but hit back immediately with Gavin Roberts going behind the posts to leave Richard Vasey an easy goal.
A missed tackle let in Tom O'Donnell for a second Otley touchdown on 14 minutes converted by Chris Gemmell and then a long kick ahead on 18 minutes saw Harry Hudson win the race to the line to make it 7-17.
Craig Ross ghosted through for an excellent try five minutes before the break for Caldy but with the last kick of the half Gemmell made it 12-20.
The home supporters awaited for the second-half onslaught but it was not until the start of the final quarter the gap was closed.
Nyle Davidson forced his way over after being set up by John Broxham with Vasey adding the extras to cut the difference to a single point.
Alas just four minutes on Jack Mackie raced over for a bonus point try for Otley after the ball bounced unkindly for Caldy from a kick ahead.
The difficult conversion was blown away and it turned out to be pivotal.
Caldy refused to lie down and strong pressure was finally rewarded when Andy Soutar breached the tiring Otley defence.
It was then down to Vasey to earn the victory and as is so often the case he made no mistake with the extras kick.
Otley tried hard to rally again in the brief moments remaining and were threatening inside the home 22 when the referee signalled time up.
Caldy are now up to seventh place in the table whilst Otley drop to fifth bottom following this twelfth defeat.
This is the 90th season for Caldy and they have a double celebration in the offing.
The club played its first match on February 27 in 1924 then under the name of Old Caldeians.
On March 1 this year, there will be a 1920s themed Gala Dinner and Marquee Ball at Paton Field preceded twenty four hours earlier by a less grand three course meal at which a top rugby speaker will provide the entertainment.
Most of the local clubs had a free Saturday last weekend. Wallasey might wish they had been amongst them as they suffered yet another defeat, this time 3-60 at home to Ormskirk in South Lancashire/Cheshire Two League.
There were comfortable Division Three successes for Oldershaw 50-12 against Helsby and Prenton 35-3 at the expense of Congleton.
New Brighton had arranged to play their Cheshire Vase semi-final at home to Crewe and Nantwich last Wednesday evening under lights but the East Cheshire club called off the tie forty eight hours ahead of kick-off.
The Cheshire Committee will now have to decide if there is to be a re-arranged date or the Blues awarded the game and with it a final place.
It is back to full league action this Saturday.
Caldy are on the road to Luctonians in National Two North and there are interesting home fixtures in North One West for Wirral against Widnes and Birkenhead Park in a cross river derby against old friends LSH.
New Brighton who are clear at the top of South Lancashire/Cheshire One welcome Sefton to Hartsfield with win number seventeen very much on the cards. Anselmians currently third take on Manchester at Malone Field whilst tenth placed Hoylake head for Winnington Park.
Wallasey try to break their losing sequence in Division Two against Vagabonds but it is a tough ask in the Isle of Man. Port Sunlight ate at home to Ormskirk.
Division Three fixtures include Oldershaw at Knutsford, Prenton at Buxton and Oxton Parkonians v Congleton. Ellesmere Port are not engaged with Holmes Chapel having withdrawn from the league.

Use tax is a tax on goods used or certain services provided in Washington when sales tax has not been paid.
For example, you would owe use tax if:
§ you purchased goods from an out-of-state business via the Internet or from a mail-order catalog and the out-of state business does not collect sales tax.
§ you purchase goods in a state with no sales tax or a state with a sales tax lower than Washington's.
