Reaction to the US handgun issue: Degrees of unity
On one thing most agreed - that the intention to kill is stronger that the weapon used to do so.
Well, I'm a reasonable man. I understand that many of my countrymen justify ownership of a handgun as a form of self-defence. What really needs to happen to allow the handgun issue to be resolved is the development of an effective non-lethal personal weapon - the equivalent of the 'Star Trek' phaser on stun. Once we have something that an individual can use to protect oneself without killing anybody, then the greatest justification for having these weapons will be overcome.
I don't think I have ever seen such an arrogant bunch of Americans in my life. You need to stop being so selfish!! Another human's right to not be killed in a violent crime is more important than your right to carry a gun. In such an important issue, we all need to make concessions in order to help combat the problem.
Instead of gun owners and gun banners fighting for their separate causes we need to get together and solve the problem. I am a gun owner but I believe certain restrictions and regulations make sense. A total gun ban is not the answer but widespread licensing might help. We have already noticed an increase in persons holding concealed weapon permits. These people are law-abiding citizens who pass exams and receive state permits. Perhaps all gun owners should be required to carry a licence and be registered.
What's next eh? Banning bananas 'cos people slip on skins? I come from Northern Ireland and you can't buy guns there, and has it cut down on murder? Has it hell. If only the sectarian killers in my neighbourhood could buy their guns legally over the counter there'd be no more of this slaughter nonsense, and you could leave your front door open. I ask you, what's next, eh? Banning mustard gas just 'cos it causes eye irritation, blepharospasm, blurring of vision, pain and tissue damage? How I wish I lived in the crime and murder-free environment of the US, instead of this chaotic, violent society. You Americans don't know how lucky you are. DON'T EVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS!!
I'm a fifteen-year-old from Wisconsin, USA who is completely against gun control. I enjoy using guns for target shooting, trap shooting, and hunting. These are wholesome activities in which the majority of my school enjoys participating. If we banned guns we would end up like England where you can't even legally carry a pocket-knife. It is none of England's business. We don't tell you how to rule your country so don't tell us how to rule ours thank you very much. Please, we are dealing with this incident ourselves and even the families of those killed have expressed that gun control is not the answer.
There are guns here. But people do not murder people here. The problem is not with guns. The problem is a vicious society of self-centred people. People in America are seeing others as they see representations of people on TV - two-dimensional, no past, no future. They kill and expect no consequences. I love America and it makes me sad.
Making more laws restricting the freedom of the law-abiding is not the answer. If psychopaths are willing to break all the laws against killing people do you really think that they would be swayed by another law that says they can't own a pistol? In addition, an armed populace is an effective deterrent to violent crime. Since it is impractical to pack around rifles, pistols are the answer.
There is no gun problem, just a crime or mental health problem. In this country repressive gun laws were proposed by a Commission which included a retired Judge. The report from the Commission is being ignored, wisely, by Parliament.
Instead of blaming guns for this tragedy, we would be better served if we instead examined why 13 and 11 year old children felt that killing was an appropriate response to a romantic slight. What kinds of values have been taught to these children that they would try to steal from their parents and actually steal from their grandparents in order to commit such a crime?
Our problem is that children are being raised with NO sense of responsibility for their actions! A parent that spanks his/her child will end up in jail. We have liberals, like Clinton, who want to place the blame on everything but the actual cause. Their misguided polices!
GUNS don't kill people...PEOPLE kill people. This has always been true, what we need in America is more people acting responsibly and learning to use and respect guns, then passing this knowledge and respect down to their children. Kids are not being taught right from wrong by their parents, and I doubt from their actions that many of the parents even know right from wrong. The decay of American society falls on the attitudes of Americans and our hesitance to accept any responsibility for our actions.
Violent people will always find a way to excise their violent nature and victimize others. Banning handguns will only remove one more positive hobby opportunity from our people and remove our only means of protection from the violent people.
Well, I vote that they should ban guns but that's not really the problem, is it? I understand that most Swiss households have guns since they are trained to defend their country but the murder rate is extremely low. The real problem is the very sick culture of violence that has become the norm in the States as a diversion from the social and economic problems they suffer. The cult of "America, Love It or Leave It", the disgusting display of chauvinism when covering international events such as the Olympics, the chest-thumping brain-dead attitude of overweening megalomania - get the idea? does not lead to a milieu of tolerance, respect or non-violent problem solving.
This old saw about guns not shooting people, but people shooting people is plumb worn out.
If people did not have such easy access to guns, they would be too lazy and/or frightened to act in an alternate manner that would have such equally deadly consequences.
The statistics keep getting worse and more disheartening. It's about time we woke up and began to realize what a specious argument "freedom" is when it comes to being the most inhospitable, violent place in the world.
It's not the guns that are the problems. It is the parents who fail to teach their kids right from wrong. It is the fault of society by not empowering our schools to have the strength to discipline our nation's youth. It is the fault of each individual by constantly stressing the importance of violence through our music, movies, and moral laxity.
For those of you who are astonished as to why anyone would ever own a gun you've obviously decided to purposely ignore the huge historical importance of firearms as tools for survival, defence, sports, competition (even Olympic competition). For those who naively say "what use is a device just designed to kill people?" you can go on living in ignorant bliss, willfully dismissing the historical and practical context of firearms that lies behind this debate. Just don't expect everyone else to be as willfully naive or uninformed.
A few points: First, this whole debate seems very much a clash of cultures. I note that the American side of the debate frequently repeats that anyone could "take away their liberty" were not guns so widespread, and the fear here seems to be either that Americans are afraid of their own government or of foreign invasion. To me both these ideas seem hard to take seriously and I can't help wondering how much the prevalence of guns itself creates this atmosphere of fear. Certainly here in Ireland (unarmed police) there isn't the same degree of paranoia-even with paramilitary violence in the North. (As for the 'remember how we had to bail you out in WW2' remarks: Would a population with hunting rifles have delayed the panzer divisions of the Wehrmacht all that much?)
Any society that lets children regard weapons as toys needs to examine itself. Guns are dangerous. Unlike knives or clubs or many other items that can potentially maim or kill, guns are designed ONLY for killing. They should not be available for children to play with. How can we teach children the value of life and the wickedness of violence when guns are touted as fun toys or smart accessories?
This is the question which should be asked: Why are individuals at present finding it so easy to shoot others for no reason at all? A choice was made in Arkansas. Those two young boys CHOSE to shoot. The weapons did not jump into their hands and ask to be fired. The existence of guns did not cause these boys to fire upon innocent and defenceless human beings. I would like to know what did. This blaming of inanimate objects seems ludicrous to me.
I would like two simple questions answered by those who would ban handguns in America.
The availability of firearms is not directly linked to violent crime, and the country of Switzerland has proved this. In Switzerland the government requires every adult male to to keep an assault rifle, ammunition, gas mask, and other military equipment readily available in their home. Women are not required to own firearms, but they are encouraged to. In a nation of only six million people, there are at least two million firearms, including six hundred thousand automatic rifles and five hundred thousand pistols. Yet, Switzerland is considered one of the safest nations in Europe and the world. If firearm availability is indeed directly related to violent crime, then Switzerland should be the most violent and dangerous nation on the face of the planet.
Firearms kill thousands in the US every year. In other countries, where guns are more strictly regulated, there are relatively few homicides resulting from gun shot wounds. This is not rocket science. Either we argue, rather implausibly, that Americans are a particularly violent bunch, influenced by Hollywood's culture of violence. Or we agree that America's liberal gun laws have something to do with otherwise inexplicably high homicide rates.
I have to agree with Chris Pallaris, England. "...It would seem, however, that thousands of children will die before American ignorance and arrogance are laid to rest." What it all boils down to is EDUCATION. And from what I have seen during my stay here the basic standard of school education in this country (the USA) is appalling. You cannot expect a poorly-educated people to come up with any more worthy an argument than "It's our right" or "Free men are armed - slaves aren't".
Banning handguns, or any guns for that matter, is not the answer. America is simply becoming more and more violent. Millions of households here in the western part of America own at least one, if not several, guns. If handguns were outlawed the "underground" market for guns would explode. One must remember that with Mexico on our southern border, guns would easily be brought into the country for those who have the money. Prohibition did not work and I hear no-one demanding that we bring back that failed idea to solve the problem of drink-driving. Criminals need to be dealt with harshly. If you take a life, you give up your own-no matter your age! That is justice.
The problem is not with guns. Guns are just tools, useless hunks of metal, unless picked up by a human. Unfortunately, some humans are intent on evil, they will use any tools for their purpose, to harm others. The school shooting in Arkansas is a tragedy, much like the one in Dunblane. The two children were not taught to properly revere life, they were not taught the proper limit of reaction when your girlfriend breaks up with you, or when your classmates make fun of you. The fault lies with the two boys and their parents, not with the guns, not with the tools.
Guns are not the problem! Taking Mum out of the home and into the workforce has left no-one to raise the kids, unless you call TV an adequate sitter!
Here in Texas we still have some freedom in spite of Clinton. Some disturbed kid just ran down the halls of his school slashing people with a straight razor. The liberals keep telling us character doesn't count. I guess some kids are listening. The strongest country in the world (USA) doesn't ban guns. The rest of you cowards depend upon us for protection. Almost all of the problems in the USA can be traced to liberalism, aka socialism.
We have been out of control for too long. I'm afraid my kids will need a
bullet proof jacket for school.
A properly administered registration and licensing system, with safe storage facilities ensured, should continue to provide Americans with the right to possess firearms. State intervention and
a blanket-ban, as in the UK is not the correct step to take.
We should teach our children that everything in our society is to be done or not done strictly according to our system of laws, morality, and ethics, i.e., that handguns, as well as rifles and shotguns, are for punching holes in paper targets, empty tin cans, game animals, and, as a last resort, human beings, only strictly in accordance with state and federal laws.
Though I do think a ban would be a step in the right direction the American attitude must be changed. Here in Canada and in the UK (I am also a British citizen) society is more interested in the good of the whole, not the individual. The basis of this can be found in a comparison of the Canadian Constitution and the American one. Where the US has "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" the British North American Act has "peace, order and good government." This is supported by the majority of people in both the UK and Canada.
It seems that America has desensitised and trivialised the powerful image of guns around the world. Perhaps the glamour comes from the entertainment industry or the big business of war - who can ever prove it? The facts are that the boys who committed this crime lost their innocence long before they held guns. This tragedy was calculated and cold-blooded but it was as a consequence of something else. What we should ask ourselves is how does a child become
evil? It goes beyond their environment and laws. Their parents and all of America must search their souls for answers. In the meantime, sympathy and condolences must be extended to the families.
Once gain the media lobby is trying to blame a situation on an object. If the kids really wanted to carry out their plan and a gun wasn't available there are always sticks, knives and cars. As a whole the media, and Clinton, are blaming guns for a failed educational, and parental system. According to the FBI, last year in America, guns were used more then 250,000 times to save lives, yet that never makes the news, because in those cases guns are used for the good.
There are more people killed in and with cars and kitchen knives than guns, but no-one is trying
to ban cars or knives.
Shootings such as the one in Arkansas are indeed tragic. However, the frequency of this type of incident is dwarfed by the number of rapes, muggings, carjackings, and murders against people (especially women) committed by criminals (usually repeat offenders). To ban guns would put so many more people at risk of being easy victims of violent crime with no means of defence, than would ever fall victim from incidences such as happened in Arkansas. Remember, criminals will always be able to get guns -THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY GUN CONTROL-THEY DON'T OBEY THE LAWS!!
True, It's people that kill people not inanimate objects. But, it's also true that we all lose our tempers from time to time. If there's a gun to hand the consequences of a temporary loss of self- control may be somewhat different from a simple verbal argument.
The possession of firearms doesn't automatically mean that people will use them to commit mass-murder, as we can see from the Swiss example. The US problem seems to be more to do with their society than guns per se. But if you want to kill a lot of people quickly, guns are dead useful tools.
There is absolutely no need to ban handguns. Handguns have never been the issue. They have merely been a facade to confuse the issue. We have a crime problem in our country because of individual PEOPLE. We would like to simplify it and say that guns are the problem. We want to find the easiest way to solve this problem, and banning firearms seems to be the easiest way to do that. We need to educate our children in order to keep them from making mistakes that will lead to extreme consequences when they get older. They must be taught to RESPECT firearms in order not to MISUSE them. Remember, what we do today will affect tomorrow. We can't take the easiest way out, we have to weigh the issue and do what is right.
Punish the criminals. No plea bargaining. Violent crime, where a life is taken or killing is attempted, should be met with the death penalty.
One reason why our barely free country is still barely free is due to the fact that guns have not been banned completely, thanks to the 2nd amendment. I'm sure that the socialist gun ban folks will try to ban every rifle, pistol and shotgun now that this incident has occurred. It's time to get rid of the emotional sensationalism and get to the facts that banning an inanimate object won't curb crime. Getting back to the moral roots this country had when it was once great is the only way to stop needless acts such as these. Get a life, people! Criminals DON'T obey laws. That's what makes them criminals! Laws banning firearms only affect the law-abiding. It only makes sense.
Since we have started banning firearms in Canada the rate of violent crimes using firearms has gone up. Gun control is not crime control it is people control.
The private ownership of firearms is our country's guarantee of freedom. The American people need to be armed and vigilant. More restrictive laws are not the solution, as there were already plenty of laws in place which prohibited many of the actions taken by the juvenile perpetrators. In my opinion, gun safety and responsibility should be more widely taught to children. I have personally owned firearms for sixteen years and I have never hurt or killed anyone. If guns cause crime, then all of my guns must be defective.

I just wanted to post this because I saw confusion in this topic in several other posts with no definitive answers. Also, some Dell chat tech support reps give incorrect info on this. I was told by a tech support rep (I won't mention his name but definitely a name from India) that the Dell XPS 8300 can only use 2 hard drives. There were a few others I chat with who said the same thing. That is absolutely 100% incorrect. One can already make the speculation that it can support more than 2 hard drives just by counting the number of SATA ports in the motherboard - there are 4. However, I am speaking from my own personal experience in having successfully connected 3 hard drives, not just guessing or speculation. You could probably also connect 4 hard drives if you wanted, but you'd probably want 1 of the 4 SATA ports to be for your CD/DVD-ROM drive.
In another post someone is concerned with where a 3rd hard drive can be screwed into. A 3rd hard drive fits PERFECTLY into the slot just above the 2 hard drive slots (the flexbay slot). I mean perfectly – it is a very snug fit, it's almost as though this slot was designed to fit a hard drive (even though the Dell tech support rep said that this slot could not be used for a hard drive - how wrong he was). The hard drive does not move around (it takes a firm amount of pressure to move it) so there is no need to screw it in - it just stays in place firmly. And it works, I tested it and now I have 3 hard drives on my XPS 8300.
Here is a pic of all 3 hard drives installed. You can see the green underside of the first 2 hard drives and the 3rd hard drive is immediately to the left in this photo (if the computer is upright then it would be the slot above the hard drive slots):
Here is a front view photo:
Notice how the slot fits the hard drive perfectly. Again, it does not move easily without firm pressure so there is no need to screw it in. Note, I could have also put the hard drive into the 2nd CD/DVD-ROM bay but it wouldn't be an exact fit (you'd probably have to buy and put in brackets) and also, why waste this slot in case you do want a 2nd CD/DVD-ROM drive later? The tech support rep said that the flexbay slot is a "dummy" slot and does not have a purpose (but again he said that a hard drive could not go in there, so even this could be wrong info). Anyway I hope this helps someone who is also considering 3 hard drives in their Dell XPS 8300.
Here is a video I posted on the topic:
Again, this was not really a question but more of an answer to a question asked many times. If you have any input or feedback feel free to post...
Hi Outlier,
Nice work, and nice pics.
Please post back and let me know if you need more help.
Does anybody know if the Chassis of Dell XPS 8300 and the Dell Dimension 9200/XPS 410 are similar [same]?
My previous computer was a Dell XPS 420 and the chassis design is rather different. The XPS 420 is bigger and there was more room to maneuver and the 2 hard drive slots were very conveniently located - they basically snapped into place. It looks like a 3rd hard drive would have been possible but I never actually tried it with that computer. Being used to the XPS 420 and then going to the XPS 8300, it feels really tight in there. If you have big hands you may have to unscrew and remove the video card when plugging or unplugging the SATA cables into the motherboard (but hopefully you won't have to do this frequently, perhaps only once). I liked the XPS 420 design better (I started other threads about some issues I have with the XPS 8300 chassis design).
I should also mention, the first 2 SATA ports (labelled SATA 0 and SATA 1) are the higher speed ports, SATA 3.0, which means you can connect the faster 6 GB/s hard drives into them. The remaining two ports (labelled SATA 2 and SATA 3) are a slower speed, SATA 2.0, so it doesn't matter if you put a 6 GB/s drive or a 3 GB/s drive into them - it'll still only operate at 3 GB/s. So if you're on a budget then it's probably more economical to get a 3 GB/s drive for your 3rd drive.
Converted this to a wiki so it can be found more easily.

If my answer was helpful, please use the 'Did this answer the question' and click: YesForum Member since 2001I am not employed by Dell
Just for the record, even though the first two SATA ports are the newer and faster SATA 3.0 (6 Gb/s) ports, the hard drive that came with my Dell XPS 8300 is only capable of 3 Gb/s (the SATA 2.0 standard). So if you buy an XPS 8300 because it has faster SATA 3.0 ports, make sure the hard drive is also compatible with the higher speed. If not, and you want the higher speed, you'll probably have to replace it with a hard drive that is capable of the higher SATA 3.0 speeds (like I will be doing). If you're a casual computer user, you probably won't even notice a difference though...
So I'm guessing from these photos that one could also put in an SSD in that flex slot?
I just got my 8300 last week, with the 2x 500gb RAID 0 HDD config. But I was planning to put a 240gb Kingston HyperX in it and using that as my boot drive. Hoping it's possible.
Thanks for posting this info! It was helpful.
If a normal drive fits a SSD will fit as it uses the same driver bracket size

What other options do I have becuase my Flex bay is used with a USB 3.0 card that came with the computer? I was planning on installing a 120GB SSD Drive as boot up and then setting up a Raid 1 for the two 500gb drives! Any suggestions? Thanks,
The USB-3 interface card is in the back of the machine, The thing in the flex bay is just a cable from the card and a USB-3 jack. An inventive fellow (unconcerned about warranty) could find a way to move that usb-3 jack to another location - perhaps to an empty spot on the back of the machine.
@Outlier - A few quick questions, as I've gone ahead and ordered my HyperX SSD. Forgive my noobish-ness... it's been a while since I've worked with PCs.
1.) Once I install the SSD, I want to make it my boot drive. I assume I'll need to go into the BIOS to change that?
2.) Will doing so interrupt the RAID-0 configuration of my existing 2x 500gb HDDs? I actually want to wipe them clean (no OS--just storage).
3.) I assume I can use the Windows 7 disc I paid $15 to Dell for to re-install the OS to the SSD?
Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
1. you cannot set the boot "drive" in the BIOS ... only the boot device; your Windows installation on your SSD will be automatically added to the Windows "boot manager".
2. installing Windows to your SSD will not affect your current RAID 0 data, as long as when you install Windows you select the SSD and not the "disk" that is your RAID 0 by mistake.
3. yes, you can use the OEM DVD from Dell, but you could have also used Retail media to install, then activate by phone.
1.) Sorry--I mis-spoke. I think I meant the boot priority. (Can you tell it's been a while since I've used a PC?) Glad to know Windows will allow me to set this.
2.) Should I reformat the RAID disks, since they have the Dell restore partition and the existing OS on them? Or can I just manually nuke all that via Windows Explorer once Win7 is installed on the SSD?
3.) Not sure I follow here. Wouldn't it just be easier to use the OEM DVD from Dell? Since this is my only PC, it's the only copy of Win7 I have. Although I've heard Dell has a site to download the OS minus all the bloatware--not sure if that's accurate, tho.
Thanks for your input.

" Brand: Tomy / Type: Drawing / Age: 3 Years+ "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Tomy Disney Princess Aquadraw.
My daughter hannah received the disney princess cinderella aquadraw for christmas 2010.
As this was a gift i had no idea how much this cost or where it was bought from however after a little a look on the web i found this toy at various prices from £19.99 to £35.00 and available from ebay uk, amazon uk, toys r us, toymaster and john lewis.
Tomy cinderella aqaudraw is for age 3 years and up as stated on the box. The aquadraw toy comes in a pink cardboard box with pictures of cinderella and the mat on it. The box is quite compact and has a plastic carry handle at the top of the box. After we have finished play i pack the mat and accessories back it to the box to keep them all together and easy storage.
In the box their was the aquadraw mat, one pink pen, one pink roller pen and cinderella with her prince figurine on a plastic base.
The aquadraw mat is quiet big and requires floor space to be played with. The mats measures around 40 inches long , wide and is a square shape.
Around the edge of the mat is a pink border and has a design of cinderella themed items such as pictures of the glass slipper, peral beads, a carriage, ribbon etc. The white part of the mat is where you draw on with water, the back is plastic so no water or leakages will seep through to the carpet.
The aquadraw pen and roller have felt ends where the water comes out, these screw off and on so i can fill them with cold water. Their are small arrows on both pens stating witch way to twist to open close as its the opposite way you would open and close a bottle get a little confusing if not looking at the indicator arrows. Also a line stating where to fill with water.
The pen and roller ends are chunky , easy to draw with and hold. The ends where the water comes out so you can draw are made from felt, this is also a good thing because the felt stays nice and moist but does not let much water out even when pressed down hard on the mat. The roller takes a while for the water to seep through on as the felt is so thick however i always wet the roller under the running tap after i have filled with water so it can be used straight away and by the time the water comes though its still nice moist and usable.
The roller is one witch makes the tracks on the mat for cinderella and her prince to follow and dance on. It leaves a track with two straight lines but with cute full love hearts in the middle making the track look very pretty.
Cinderella and the price are one joined plastic figure sat onto of a plastic base. This base has two small metal prongs with sensors so it can follow the track with two tiny rubber wheels at the back making it easy for the base to spin around in any direction. Also on the base is an on / off switch, a small speaker that plays a very loud annoying princess themed tune, a batter compartment that takes 3 x aaa batteries.
Me and my daughters were excited when trying this toy for the first time and i was surprised how much fun it was. As i said we cleared the floor to make space to play and lay the mat out flat. The mat is cotton on top feels nice and soft so we filled the pens and my daughter practised writing her name , she was thrilled as the water makes the mat turn pink so she had her name and scribbles in pink. She really enjoys free drawing and writing all over the mat. The mat only took 15 minutes to dry out so we started all over again this time with the roller and made a track all the way around the edge finishing in a somewhat circle in the middle of the mat. Hannah then switched on cinderella and lifted her on to the track, we watched in amazement and listened the the tune while cinderella danced around the track with her prince spinning and twirling around.
This is a real nice toy that can be played with creatively and is a load of fun too. It must be good because my daughter is still fascinated and still playing with it now three months , she loves it. Very entertaining
Should the mat get dirty or marked it can be hand wash and left out to dry, comes up good as new.
This really is a lovely fairytale toy and a must for little princesses.
I highly recommend!
Tomy Cinderella Aqua Draw
My little one loves drawing, though can be very messy with pens and paints and for some reason does not like crayons! This is where the great idea for Aqua Draw mats really come in handy.
We bought this Aqua Draw in the sale for about £15.00, though it retails at double this price usually, and although it is a great drawing toy for youngsters, I do not think I would have paid the full price. It is recommended for children age three years plus, but to be perfectly honest, as long as your child can hold a pen and keep things from their mouth, then this works for younger children too.
The mat is in a lovely mix of pinks and whites with the main drawing area in white and the outsides a pale pink. When water is added to the white parts of the mat, the 'drawing' comes out a pale pink colour to match with the mat itself. It is quite a large mat and allows for a lot of drawing as well as my youngster sitting on it and drawing around her. The only small gripe I have with this mat is the fact that the water takes forever to dry and so once it is all full up, my little one gets quite frustrated that she can not do any more drawing. We have purchased some Aqua Draw mini-mats to pass the time of waiting for this main mat to dry!
As well as the Cinderella mat, this drawing toy comes with two water pens, both of which undo easily and are filled with cold water. The first is a simple pen to draw with and the second has a small attachment which creates a path for Cinderella to dance along. The Cinderella I am talking of is a small plastic figure of Cinderella and Prince Charming which dance around magically following the line you have drawn by the sensor on the base. This picks up any water marks on the mat, though, so if there are more than just one line which happens a lot with children, then Cinderella gets quite confused and dances off of the mat! Luckily, my little one prefers the actual drawing and uses Cinderella as a separate toy that dances so doesn't mind when she runs off of the mat.
Something to be careful of is spills onto the mat such as juice spills. These do not dry out like water alone and leaves faint pink marks on the mat which do not come off and hinder drawing over it. The same can be said if the mat is put away without drying properly.
I would certainly recommend this drawing toy though I would say that it is much better in the sale as too many things can go wrong with it for the top price of £30.00!
My daughter absolutely adores Cinderella and after demolishing her original aquadraw this seemed like the perfect replacement.
I purchased it when it was £29.99 which I do believe a little expensive for what it was.
It has the features of an original aquadraw that the child can draw anything they wish with the pen provided. For a girly girl this had the added bonus of the water sending the white aquadraw pink where it was written on.
You then have a roller which creates a star path for cinderella and her prince to follow. Although this is a great idea in principal they did not always follow the pattern. If the pattern started to fade then the sensor does not work properly. This also happened if the pattern was broken due to water not coming out of it properly. Perhaps not a big drama but it is when you have an impatient child waiting to play with it but needing it to dry out before she can get it to work properly.
The other problem we found is that if Cinderella came off the track she would struggle to get back onto it.
As with all aquadraws the one problem is the drying time. Once the child has drawn on it before it can be used again it needs to dry.
Also cleaning the mat was a problem and they do get dirty. For the amount of money I spent I do expect it to washable in some way or last longer.
This was a Christmas gift for my daughter last Christmas, at the time she was nearly 2 so a bit young (in my opinion) for this, mainly because the age on the box says 3+, and she wasn't even 2 at the time.
Anyway, what you get is a large mat, two drawing tools (a pen and a wheel which when rolled produces a row of stars) which have to be filled with water before they'll work, and a Cinderella and Prince Charming(??) musical thing which plays a ridiculous tune and is meant to 'follow' your drawings on the mat.
The two drawing tools are easily filled; you just unscrew the base, top up with water and screw the lid back on. The pen starts working straight away, but the wheel takes ages for the water to come through and I find myself rolling it around the mat several times before it starts to work. This not only frustrates me, but it also frustrates my daughter because she doesn't understand why I am playing with her wheel, and why nothing is happening.
The mat is very large (105 x 90cm), so the only place your child can play with this is on the floor, which is ok I suppose, but my daughter usually likes sitting to a table when she is colouring. It is pale pink in colour with a pretty 'princess' type border. When you use the pen or the wheel, your scribblings come out in a dark pink colour. This is quite nice and the pen gives a lovely thick line, so it is easy for a young child to scribble with it. I've found the stars to be a bit hit and miss you have to press quite hard to get a good solid row of stars.
The first time I got this out for my daughter she was quite keen to get scribbling with the pen on the mat, but once she realised it was only one colour then she got bored quite quickly. So I got the Cinderella dancing model out which I thought might entertain her as she danced around the mat. But this annoyed her more than anything and the repetitive tune drove me insane, but it also irritated my daughter because she asked me to put it away!
Cinderella is meant to follow the rows of stars, but I've found she likes to go off track sometimes and can get lost and often not even find her way back. I did actually think this part of the toy was rubbish because first of all the tune is highly irritating, and second of all, the main point of the mat is for drawing, so who wants an annoying Cinderella model dancing all over their drawings!? Certainly not me, or my daughter.
Once you have finished using the mat, all you have to do is leave it to dry and your drawings will magically fade away. I found that the colour takes a while to fade so if your child is someone who likes to draw a lot, then they may get agitated waiting for the mat to clear before they can begin another creation. On the other hand, some children may get annoyed if their picture clears too quickly, it's a no win situation!
So on subsequent occasions when I have got this out for my daughter to have a go with; it has never been any more successful than that first time. She seems to think that it's not really for drawing with and soon gets bored. You see she is quite an excellent little artist for her age, she can draw many things, but she just doesn't seem to want to draw anything on this mat. The only thing she has attempted to do is colour in the entire mat, which requires me to refill the pen quite a few times before she has achieved her goal! And she also ends up asking me to finish off colouring in the mat which is not my idea of fun.
So although I think the idea behind the toy is a good one (i.e. no mess!!), it just doesn't keep my daughter entertained, and for the price (£29.35 on Amazon at the mo) I just don't think it's worth it.
I bought this for my daughter for christmas as she is a huge disney princess fan although she has only played with it once! You draw with the pen or the roller and cindereall and prince charming are supposed to dance along the path you draw whilst playing a tune from cinderella (not sure which one). Although they often go off the path. It is meant to be able to relocate the path if it falls off it and 70% of the time it does. The roller isnt easy to use as it draw very faint lines and you need to press so hard which my daughter does not have the patience for. Its very pretty and "princessy" witht he pink border and pink water marks. Prince charming and cinderella is made of hard durable plastic but you can hear the motor over top of the music playing. it takes 2 x aa batteries
I suggested to the grandparents to get my daughter the Tomy Cinderella Aquadraw for her 2nd birthday after noticing her ooh'ing and ahh'ing at the advert every time it came on TV!
My mum brought it from Argos for £29.31, you can also purchase it from around the same price at all good toy shops.
The Cinderella Aquadraw comes in quite a large but not heavy cardboard box which is decorated very pink, pretty and eye catching.
The mat is 105 cm x 90cm which is quite big (not huge) and requires a fair amount of floor space. It has a border around the outside of it. The border is really girlie and Cinderella themed. It has beads, ribbons, hearts, glass slippers, horses, cotton reels and balls of wool on it. The mat itself (on which you draw on) is white with a slight light pink tint.
There are 2 writing accessories for the mat - one is a water pen and one is a water roller. They are both made from plastic and can be easily unscrewed to pour small amounts of water inside. Once they are both filled with water they are ready to use. Neither of them leak or spill which makes a nice change. The pen draws and writes whatever you desire, the roller is used to make a trail made from stars. The water also seems to last a while until it needs refilling.
A plastic toy of Cinderella and Prince Charming is also included. The toy requires 2 x AA batteries, which aren't included. Cinderella is wearing her beautiful trademark blue dress and Prince Charming is wearing red trousers and smart blue and yellow jacket - they are facing each other and holding one hand as if they are dancing together. The base of the toy has wheels on and some sort of sensor with 3 little metal prongs on. It also has an on and off switch.
Once the water pen hits the mat it turns bright pink. It looks just like it would if you got a bright pink pen and went over it. The same applies to the stamping roller which creates a trail of pink stars at it goes. To use Cinderella and Prince Charming on the mat, just flick the button to 'on' and place it on the trail of stars which has been made. The toy automatically picks up the trail and follows it. Cinderella and Prince charming spin in circles along the trail and appear to be dancing. If they lose the trail (if the trail is broken or fading) then the toy turns itself around and follows the trail back the way it came. I have no idea how it works so please don't ask! It just seems so clever. Once the toy has been turned on it plays a fairytale ballroom type of music which is really sweet and not too loud or annoying for adults. It is slightly repetative though! If the toy gets puts on the mat without a trail to follow then it just glides around the mat in circular motions.
There is no need to clean the mat off as the drawings just dissapear within around 5 or 10 minutes when the water has dried up, which makes space for more drawing.
Although the mat is quite big, it is really lightweight and can be folded up small which is really good for storing and travelling with. The whole thing is totally easy to wipe clean too.
When she opened her present she was so pleased and realised what it was straight away. This was also the one present which she and her cousin chose to play with throughout the rest of the day. She has also been having lots of fun with it by herself since.
The great thing about Aquadraw is not only is it fun and unique but it is completley mess free. It is recommended for 3 + years. I hope and am quite convinced that this is one of her toys that will stand the test of time.
I have noticed that the roller has become slightly awkward to use - it takes a few attempts to get the water to come out. I have also noticed that if there are water marks around the trail, then Cinderella and Prince Charming get confused and go in the wrong direction! For this reason I have deducted a star but still think it's a quality toy.
My toddler has loved drawing right from when she learnt to hold a pencil, and she in turn has loved her mini aqua draw mats that she has had at her young age. When I saw the large Cinderella aqua draw mat on offer at Amazon I couldn't resist it for her. Despite the recommended minimum age of 3 years, I knew enough to know she wasn't going to do any harm with a water filled pen and a drawing mat. She may need supervision with the Cinderella toy that comes with the mat but I can easily watch that.
The mat is a dual layer effect, which shows through the pink undercarriage when water is placed on the top layer. Brightly done out with a pink border and white centre, it's plenty big enough at approx half a meter square for any child to happily sit in the centre of it to do some doodling.
Included with the mat are also two water pens, one a standard pen and the other has a trail foam attachment to it to create the path for Cinderella to dance on.
The added extra to this large mat is the Cinderella and prince charming plastic toy that adds that something extra special to this mat.
Cinderella is designed to waltz about on the tracks drawn for her by the young artist. This is done by inserting two AA batteries into the base of Cinderella's toy and popping the happy couple on top to swan around the mat.
There is a sensor in the base unit of Cinderella that is designed to pick up any water tracks made by either the large pen of even the smaller pen. As the unit is switched on and detects these tracks then you will be able to watch the unit move around until it runs out of track.
I felt this part of the mat left the product down slightly, as it took us ages to get the unit to work correctly. To start with Cinderella just whirred a quiet sound as we placed her on the track and she didn't move anywhere.
Eventually after a lot of prodding and placing her on differing areas of water tracks we did get Cinderella to move.
My daughter isn't overly bothered by this part of the toy at her young age and for that I am thankful because Cinderella is now sitting on her shelf as a decoration looking very pretty.
Back to the mat, and with both the pens, my daughter will literally spend ages sitting down doodling onto it in her hap hazard toddler way. I know as she gets older and providing the mat stays with us that long then she will enjoy drawing actual pictures and being able to indulge in letting the picture fade away after as the water dries to be able to use the mat all over again.
This mat is invaluable for parents as it's a great way to allow children to draw without making any mess with accidental scribbles off the mat. As you are only using water then no extra mess can be made. Even if the child gets the lid off the pen (which is designed to do up and undo backwards to avoid this very reason), then all you have wasted is a thimble full of water as the pen doesn't hold very much at the same time.
I have noticed a few minor disappointments to this mat after constant use. My partner folded it away whilst there were still some distinct drawings on the mat, and the following morning when we got it out again we noticed that there were faded pink marks where the water hadn't dried properly. The marks are still there now so I would advise letting the product dry completely before folding and putting away.
The pen itself is quite small so for a fanatical artist you could be re filling the tube quite often, but also on the other side of the coin, when the toy is put away you should remember to empty any excess water out of the pen as it can ruin the pen nib over time if you don't.
I was lucky enough to get this on half price offer at £14.99 at Amazon after Christmas, and whilst I think I got a great bargain for this price, I'm not entirely convinced it's worth the £29.99 it retails at. I don't think even for older children it needs the Cinderella attachment; however I can see a short lived appeal to it. The mat will have longer popularity for the drawing aspect of it not the dancing plastic toy that may or may not go depending on the sensor and the amount of water involved.
Even for my toddler I think it's a great addition to her toys. It's given her a large surface she can sit on or lie next to and doodle when she feels like it. I also don't have to keep masses of pieces of paper with her first scribble on them (of course I'll still have these but this channels her drawing energy in a different direction).
My daughter recently celebrated her 5th birthday and as a gift we bought her a Disney Cinderella Aquadraw playmat.
I had been looking at the Aquadraw mats for a long time and had asked for the travel version for my youngest son for Christmas. While in Woolworths before Christmas I saw the Disney Princess version of the mat with 20% off in their closing down sale. I paid £19.99 for the Princess mat but I think they usually retail at anything up to £29.99.
Luckily no-one bought the travel mat for my youngest son so when my daughter opened the Cinderella mat on her birthday it was a new and exciting toy for all three of my children. I have two sons who like to play with the mat and they aren't bothered that it is pink and has princesses on it.
The mat is quite big when it is laid out and measures approximately 100cm x 90cm. The edge is pink and decorated with ribbons and glass slippers and birds and the centre is white. You get a writing pen and a star patterned roller with the mat. Both the pen and the roller need to be filled with water before you start. You also receive a figurine of Cinderella and Prince Charming in a dancing pose. Cinderella needs 2 x AA batteries which fit into the base, you will need a screwdriver to insert the batteries. You do not get any batteries with the mat so remember to buy some if this is intended as a gift.
Once you have inserted the batteries and filled your pens with water you are ready to play. The mat is made up of two layers. The bottom layer is pink in this case and the top layer is white. When you apply water to the top layer of the mat the pink colour from the bottom layer shows through as if by magic! You can draw pictures with the pen and draw a track with the roller. The dancing figures are activated with an on/off switch and when placed onto the mat they follow the wet areas and appear to dance around. If you have drawn tracks and pictures onto the mat the figures will sometimes follow your picture instead of the track. If they reach the end of a soaked area they spin around until the sensor picks up another wet area and then they go in that direction. All the time the figurine is repeatedly playing a short tune. Once the water dries out your picture is gone and the mat is clear for you to start again. I find it is best to leave it to dry unfolded as it can take a while to dry if you pack it away.
My daughter really enjoys playing with the princess Aquadraw and has used it frequently since her Birthday last month. I am glad I didn't pay £30 for it because this seems far too expensive to me. You can get it cheaper if you shop around or if you buy a different version of the Aquadraw mat. My younger children are 3 and 1 year old and although they are both boys they also enjoy the Aquadraw.
Aquadraw mats are available from Toy R Us, Argos and many toy stores. They come in travel versions and a multicoloured version. I think there is a Thomas the Tank Engine version like the Cinderella one but obvioulsy for boys. In this version a train follows a track around the mat.
There is no mess, no paint, and no fuss with this toy. It is easy to store and dry and there aren't loads of pieces that can be lost or broken. It is quick to set up and keeps them amused until there are no white bits left. The tune does get a bit annoying after a while but there are so many toys that make noise these days that you soon don't notice it!
I would recommend the Aquadraw Princess mat to anyone with a little princess who likes to draw!
Cinderella AquaDraw is a no-mess creative drawing toy that uses water in a special pen to draw on the mat provided--as the mat dries, the image fades ready for the next creation. Use the roller to draw a path of stars and watch as the Cinderella figure magically follows the path you've drawn!

Lopez arrives to give Giants lefty presence
Lopez arrives to give Giants lefty presence
SAN FRANCISCO -- Javier Lopez, left-handed pitcher, prefers to be described more as a "pitcher" than just "left-handed." Lopez understands why he's referred to as a "situational" left-hander. Left-handed batters have hit .204 off him, compared to .315 for right-handers. The Giants obtained him Saturday from Pittsburgh largely to fill the void created by the injuries to Jeremy Affeldt and Dan Runzler, who are expected to be sidelined for about three more weeks. Common sense dictates that Lopez, who broke into the Major Leagues in 2003 with Colorado, would be in a different line of work if he were completely helpless against right-handers. He also realizes that roles are assigned for a reason.
"I don't really enjoy the label," Lopez said Sunday of the lefty-specialist designation. "But the way I throw the ball with my [arm] angle, that's the label I have." The Giants are Lopez's fifth team, indicating that he always has been a desirable commodity. But he didn't believe he'd be leaving the Pirates as Saturday's Trade Deadline approached, though he said he heard "whispers" that he might be involved in a deal. When manager John Russell summoned Lopez to inform him of the trade, the 33-year-old said that "it came out of the blue." Lopez, who's wearing No. 49 with the Giants, primarily relies on a sinking fastball to coax grounders from opponents. He said that he typically resorts to an offspeed pitch when he needs a strikeout. Lopez didn't walk into a clubhouse of strangers upon reporting to AT&T Park. He was a Colorado teammate of infielder Juan Uribe's in 2003. Also, Lopez and Jonathan Sanchez joined forces on Puerto Rico's 2009 World Baseball Classic squad.

Ten years ago, gas was $1.83 a gallon, GM was still making Oldsmobiles, Martha Stewart hadn't seen the inside of a jail cell.
And there weren't any blogs at The Dallas Morning News — or at many other newspapers for that matter.
Dallas Morning Views, this newspaper's first blog and the nation's first editorial-board blog, turns 10 years old Saturday.
Today, The News hosts more than 40 blogs, which collectively contribute a sixth of the total traffic to the newspaper's website. And we hire journalists who don't have a clue what it was like to report in the pre-blog era.
I remember having to explain to the newspaper's lawyers in 2003 what a "web log" was before I could set about making the case for why the newspaper should have one. It was a tough sell. After all, the whole idea of a blog is the immediacy of communication to a broad audience. This meant empowering writers to post to the blog without editors peering over their shoulders.
You'd have thought we were proposing skydiving naked. In some ways, we were.
From the beginning, our blog had two main purposes: To explain, or make more transparent, the editorial board's thought process. And to engage more directly with readers. Those purposes persist today as we've added more goals:
Provide real-time commentary on breaking news.
Expand traditional methods of analysis to include graphics, interactive maps and video.
Offer an outlet for commentary around incremental developments on important issues that might not merit in-paper exposure.
Invite readers to influence the conversation by providing their opinions and analysis.
I recall that some of our earliest heated blog debates were around President George W. Bush's foreign policy, lessons from the Kobe Bryant rape case, and the publication of graphic photos of Saddam Hussein's dead sons.
Today we're blogging our opinions about the George Zimmerman acquittal, Wendy Davis' possible run for governor, Mike Miles' future as DISD superintendent and Congress' efforts to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
The greatest strength of our blog also is its greatest weakness. Our job as editorialists is to comment on a wide array of issues; the topic diversity is a source of strength and appeal to both writers and readers. But the blog's broad focus (e.g. it's not an education blog, an aviation blog or a Rangers blog) makes it difficult to define and brand. Our conversation tends to run all over the map, for better and worse.
There are bigger and better blogs these days, at this newspaper and beyond, but this one will always be near and dear.
Editorial writers Jim Mitchell and Bill McKenzie, our two most prolific bloggers, have been with this experiment since its beginning. Bill, an early skeptic of the whole idea, became such a fan that he not only posts regularly to this blog and the paper's education blog, but also launched the Texas Faith blog with Austin-based News political writer Wayne Slater.
Likewise, assistant editor Nicole Stockdale has led our strong annual Points Summer Book Club blog. (You can read more about her plans for this year in Sunday's Points section.)
It's hard to find better analysis of the state's transportation challenges than in editorial writer Rodger Jones' blog posts. He did a video post illustrating — vividly! — the dangers to pedestrians around certain DART rail stations. Another example: his detailed analysis of last year's Trinity Tollway debate, fueled in large part by tollway opponents on the Dallas City Council.
Editorial writer Tod Robberson is quick to build interactive maps to go with his blog posts, adding compelling visuals that, for instance, bust myths about where the city's crime hot spots actually are or illustrate the depth of the problem in southern Dallas when it comes to the prevalence of tax-credit housing, foreclosures, absentee landlords and payday lenders.
Deputy editor Sharon Grigsby has used the blog especially effectively to shake the bushes for information on important developing stories, including the city of Dallas' fracking ordinance. Editorial writer Mike Hashimoto revealed in this post that District Attorney Craig Watkins had suspended his office's resign-to-run policy, at least for Democratic attorneys seeking elected office. Editorial writer Ralph De La Cruz has used the blog to offer special insights into the moral imperative of the Voting Rights Act.
We're not all as deadly serious a bunch as these topics might indicate. Check us out at dallasnews.com/opinionblog and join the discussion. It won't be long before we're pestering Rodger again to update the "singing editorial" about his inspired State Fair romp.
Keven Ann Willey is the editorial page editor of The Dallas Morning News. Her email address is email@example.com.

Have you guys heard of Younique? I recently had the chance to check out their Fiber Lash Mascara. While I don't get out as much as I used to now that I no longer work outside of the house, I still love to get all dolled up occasionally. Most days I am good to get a shower so I don't necessarily wear make up every day. I still love to try out new colors and new makeup.
I was excited to try the Fiber Lash Mascara. I have pretty long eyelashes but the mascara really make them pop–it really is amazing. I like it because it's so easy to use . I can't deal with those extensions and the application is just a mess. With the Fiber Lash Mascara, you simply use the two coat system and it really does make your lashes look light they are twice as long.
If you are looking to try it out, Leslie at Younique can help you. Younique is a line of naturally-based makeup and skin care products. Their products are hypoalergenic, nocomedogenic and paraben and sulfate free. Many are also gluten free, soy free and vegan.
Their signature, top-selling product is 3D Fiber Lash mascara (that's what I tried out!). One coat of the two-step system will give you a 300% increase in volume and length! Say goodbye to fake lashes and extensions! They also have mineral eye, blush and concealer pigments, lip gloss, BB cream, cream foundation and pressed powder.
If you are looking to get started selling yourself, Leslie can help you there too. Younique is the first direct-sales company to market and sell almost exclusively through the use of social media. A Younique Virtual Party has no limits to your reach or who you can invite. This makes it so the traditional home party is not even necessary unless you choose to do it.
Be sure and check out Leslie's Facebook page where she shares info about new products, specials and giveaways!
If you are looking to host a party. Be sure and mention "I Heart Saving Money" – you will receive free 3D Fiber lashes in addition to your host rewards! Plus, Leslie is giving one I Heart Saving Money reader a FREE 3D Fiber Lash mascara.
Entry is simple…you just need to complete the tasks below! Just make sure that you leave one entry for each one — up to a total of 2 comments. As a reminder, comments left on Facebook, Twitter or other posts will not be included. I will choose the winner at random on 3/23 at 11 pm.
- Tell me your favorite make up product…what can you not live without?
- Like I Heart Saving Money Facebook and head over and "like" Leslie's Facebook page too.
Younique started in 2012 so it is still very much a ground floor business opportunity! The company is breaking sales records every month- January's sales were around $2 million and February's sales were just under $6 million! If you like makeup and Facebook this is the perfect company to make a little, or A LOT, of extra income with! For $99 you get over $400 in products, $25 in Younique product credits each year on your birthday and a free website for life. And the best part about working with Younique is no waiting until the end of the month for commission! All commissions are paid within 24 hours of the sale!
Leslie loves giving FREE Younique products for referrals so if you know someone who might be interested in hosting a party or becoming a presenter please contact her! They have recently expanded in to Canada and will be launching in England, New Zealand and Australia soon so she especially looking for referrals in those countries!
I was given the product listed above to facilitate my review. All comments and opinions are my own. The giveaway is provided by Leslie and she will handle prize delivery to the winner.

On a single day in 1940, as Victorine reflects on her past, we travel back with her, from the willow-lined canals of her childhood home in Vendie to sun-drenched days and languorous nights along the Mekong River at the dawn of the 20th century. Hers is an unforgettable story of adventure and self-discovery, of a woman's struggle between duty and independence, tradition and freedom, longing and regret.
©2004 Catherine Texier; (P)Random House, Inc., Random House Audio, a division of Random House, Inc.
"A steely, delicate fictional tale....Texier offers seamless transitions between the past and present." (Publishers Weekly)
"With lush, vivid description, Texier brings to life both the world around Victorine and the woman herself." (Booklist)

Summer Officially Arrives on Wednesday, June 20
You would think that summer began in East Texas last year around Christmas time. Balmy, along with warmer than normal temps, and the steady rumbling of the A/C unit, was plenty enough to suggest we were reeling from "the other summer" (winter), even if the calendar hanging on the wall in the kitchen had pictures of snowflakes, icicles, and polar bears.
The Summer Solstice arrives on Wednesday (June 20), and is so named because according to the gods of astronomy, it is the longest day of the year from sunup to sundown. When the Sun reaches its farthest point north of the equator, and the phraseology "high noon" has more significant meeting than a shoot-out in from of the saloon.
6:09 P.M. – That's the official welcoming time for Summer. So, for those of you that cannot get enough heat, I'm sure you will find the solstice – a somewhat cliche – sunsational!

if i gather right, the following is true of Custom class loading:
if u use a class loader "Cloader" to load a class, say "load.loadtest" then, this is not possible:
Class c=Cloader.loadClass("load.loadtest");
load.loadtest test=(load.loadtest)c.newInstance();
Instead we must use a superclass/interface to cast the result.
IN application servers which use dynamic class reloading extensively,how do they circumvent the above process? Or don't they? DO they use some interface to cast back the result??
For instance since we are never getting a handle to our servlet class directly, guess, the app.server casts the above result into some interface?
or does it use reflection to invoke a method???

A.M. Best Co. revised the outlook to stable from negative and affirmed the financial strength rating of "B++" (Good) and the issuer credit rating of "bbb" for Dallas National Insurance Company (DNIC).
The changes reflect DNIC's stabilization of risk-adjusted capitalization driven by continued operating profitability and more moderate growth in premium volumes and liabilities in 2007. The stable outlook also reflects management's more moderate growth projections while maintaining historical profitability, which should result in supportive risk-adjusted capitalization over the intermediate term.
The ratings reflect DNIC's adequate risk-adjusted capitalization, historical underwriting and operating profitability and the financial support provided by its owner.
Offsetting the positive rating factors are DNIC's rapid growth in premium volume and associated liabilities in recent years (although moderating in 2007) and the uncertainties associated with this growth and the company's expansion into additional states and new lines of business and its elevated common stock leverage.

Conservative Party leader and ex-Bullingdon Club member David 'Do Nothing Dave' Cameron was rocked on his heels today when he was outwitted by a ten year old child.
Mister Cameron, on his way to work was stopped by the child, one of the dreaded 'working classes' - who rank just below Al qaeda on the Tory hit-list, and asked, in straight forward terms:
"What you gonna do to make Britain better?"
"Let us be clear on this," Cameron began. "It's a case of addressing fundamental issues, and of repairing the damage done by previous..."
"What you gonna do to make Britain better?" the kid interjected.
"I was coming to that," Cameron said. "Britain is a global power that is not living up to its full potential. Gordon Brown and his cronies saw to that when they created the global economic downturn..."
"But what you gonna do to make Britain better?" the kid persisted.
"We have to analyse our role in the world. And we have to assess our economic performance against other nations. Let's be perfectly clear on this..."
"How many times do I have to ask you?" the kid said. "What you gonna do to make Britain better?"
"Let me be perfectly clear on this," Cameron replied. "It wasn't the Conservatives who plunged the world into depression. It's not the Conservatives who are proposing Tony Blair as President of Europe. None of this is our fault. Excepting perhaps welfare dependancy. Perhaps we did, as a political party play a major role in that, under Mrs T. But look, I'm a smooth guy, I have two eyes, I've got to be a better option than Gordon bloody Brown."
At which point, the ten year old kid looked David Cameron straight in the eye and said:
"I asked you a simple question Mister politician. You failed to respond. If you were elected tomorrow, you'd have no more idea what to do than I do. You sir, are a cunt."
More as we get it.

ISLAMABAD: Despite the fact that businesses continue to operate in a challenging environment, they remain somewhat optimistic about their future prospects, according to Business Barometer released by Pakistan Institute of Development Economics (Pide).
According to the report, energy shortage was not the top most constraint faced by most companies as they have made alternative arrangements to sustain their production. It said that firms that performed well in terms of production, sales and exports attribute their success to strong demand for their products.
However, the firms experiencing sluggish business activity blamed shortage of utility supplies as a major bottleneck hindering their performance. Meanwhile, the companies expected the inflation to remain in single-digits as most of them have reported increases in the prices during the first half of the year 2012 and expect them to increase in the second half.
The document said that slight improvement is expected in both the contractual and permanent employment statuses, especially in the sugar industry. It added that even though almost all the firms have reported to have a policy to increase wages once a year but not every industry is planning to do so.
According to the report, the firms highlighted the need for adopting policies to improve business climate in Pakistan.

Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed of the radical group Al-Muhajiroun said the meeting at Finsbury Park Mosque, titled "Sept. 11, 2001: A Towering Day in History," argues that the attacks were justified because Muslims must defend themselves against armed aggression.
Al-Muhajiroun says its goal is to make Britain an Islamic state.
The Syrian-born Mohammed had warm words for bin Laden and the al-Qaida network, though he said he disagreed with their violent tactics.

wikiHow to Make a Bandanna Bag
A bandanna bag is a chic way to carry around all your necessities, and it's so easy to make. Plus it doesn't cost a thing (if you've already got the required items)
1Grab at least two bandannas in the color of your choice. If you are making any outside pockets on your bag then grab another bandanna.
2Fold the main bandanna in half. (For now this is to determine where the pockets will go) Cut out the pocket (or pockets) in the right size and place them where you want to put them on the bag. Use a safety pin the hold the pocket(s) in place while you open the bandanna and sew the pockets on. Remember to leave one side open. If you don't want any pockets on your bag then you may skip this step.
3Re-fold your bandanna and sew the sides shut. Then fold the sides once and sew them again. Fold and sew them once more.
4Use your remaining bandanna to make the handle. Lay the bandana with one of the corners facing you. Cut straight all the way across the bandanna a few inches away from the corner. Now cut on the other side of the corner. To sew it onto the bag first fold the handle in half. Take one end and wrap it around the top corner of the bag. The part wrapped around the bag should look like a triangle. Now sew around the piece wrapped around the bag. The stitch should also look like a triangle. Repeat this step for the other end.
5Now you have your very own bandanna bag. Hope you enjoy using it.

Kids In The Hands Of God
Welcome to
Cumming Baptist Church
Weekday Preschool!
Then children were brought to him (Jesus)
that he might lay his hands on them and pray.
The disciples rebuked the people,

and do not hinder them,
for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."
And he laid his hands on them and went away.
Matthew 19:13-15 (ESV)
Our Purpose
The weekday preschool of Cumming Baptist Church exists to provide a safe, loving, Christian environment and to nurture the whole child spiritually, physically, academically, emotionally, and socially.

B.J. Upton's ninth-inning homer off Luis Vizcaino capped the biggest comeback in Tampa Bay history and the gave the Rays an 8-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Friday night.
The defending AL champions fell behind 7-0 before coming back with plenty of help from the last-place Indians.
The Rays scored two runs on throwing errors and a third on a wild pitch before Ben Zobrist led off the bottom of the eighth with a solo homer that made it 7-all.
Upton led off the ninth with his first homer on a 3-2 pitch from Vizcaino (0-1), who signed with Cleveland on Thursday.
A night after building a 9-0 lead and holding off the Rays in the late innings for an 11-7 victory, the last-place Indians jumped out to another big advantage against left-hander Scott Kazmir.
Grady Sizemore opened the game with the 19th leadoff home run of his career, breaking a tie with Kenny Lofton for the most in Indians history. Shin-Soo Choo homered for the second straight game, hitting a two-run shot that made it 7-0 in the fourth.
Evan Longoria, Carlos Pena and Willy Aybar drove in runs in the comeback against Indians starter Anthony Reyes and relievers Tony Sipp, Jensen Lewis and Rafael Betancourt, who escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh only to give up Zobrist's tying homer in the eighth.
Dan Wheeler (1-0) pitched one inning to get the win.
Kazmir allowed seven runs and 10 hits in 3 1-3 innings – his shortest outing of the season. Since beating Boston and the New York Yankees in his first two starts, the 25-year-old left-hander has yielded 30 runs, 41 hits and 22 walks in his last 28 2-3 innings.
Reyes retired nine in a row before Upton doubled for Tampa Bay's first hit. The speedy center fielder stole third, giving the Rays at least one swipe in 17 consecutive games, and scored on Pena's RBI single.
The stolen base streak matches the longest in the AL since 1954. The 1976 Athletics and 2001 Yankees each swiped a base in 17 straight, while the longest stretch in the majors during that span is 29 by the 1985 Cardinals.
A second run in the Rays' fourth scored on Choo's throwing error from right field, and Aybar followed with a RBI single that trimmed Cleveland's lead to 7-3.
The Rays pulled within two runs on second baseman Jamey Carroll's throwing error in the sixth, and Jason Bartlett scored on a wild pitch that trimmed the deficit to 7-6 in the seventh.
Notes:@ Indians manager Eric Wedge was ejected in the third inning. He argued with plate umpire Greg Gibson after Mark DeRosa, trying to score from second base on a single, appeared to slide in ahead of a throw from Upton but was called out. ... Rays LF Carl Crawford returned to the lineup after missing one game because of a bruised right shoulder. He had his major league-leading 23rd and 24th steals. ... Indians DH Travis Hafner, who's been on the 15-day disabled list since April 29 because of a sore right shoulder, began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus. ... Rays DH Pat Burrell, who sat out his fourth consecutive game because of a sore neck, received a cortisone shot and will be out Saturday, too. His status will be re-evaluated on Sunday.
