Crossing paths
The Crossing was designed to please. The 24,700 square metre development is the focal point of Auckland's Highbrook, a 40-hectare business park in the southeastern suburbs. Five buildings around a central plaza incorporate office, retail, accommodation, hospitality and leisure services for the thousands of people who work at the business park, and the 28,000 commuters who travel through the park each day.
"We wanted to make it so interesting that people driving past would feel the need to stop and have a look," Goodman New Zealand general manager, development, Pete Dufaur said. Work to install infrastructure and parking facilities began at the end of 2011, with Dominion Constructors starting construction the following March. Three main buildings constructed on a central concrete plinth form the basis of the development, with the potential for two more to be constructed at a later date. The first, a two-level office block with retail units below, is already complete and most tenants have moved in. The second building, which sits opposite the office and retail block, is still under construction and will house a 60-room Quest hotel, a conference centre and a gym.
The third is a glass and steel two-level structure called 'The Icon', which will have a restaurant and bar on the ground floor, and offices with extensive parkland views on the level above. The main facade is due for completion at the end of April 2013. A covered walkway will lead from The Icon into the central plaza, with canopies made of clear fabric on a steel structure.
Construction was originally planned so all buildings in the overall development would be complete at the same time. "But the need to complete the office building in time for law firm Wynward Wood to move in last month put pressure on the construction time frame," JCP project manager Lisa Bryan said. "The Icon has only been coming along in the last week or two," she said.
"As well as the office on level one, there will be a small mezzanine office with the building. LED lights will surround the edge of the building so it can be seen from a wide surrounding area when lit at night." The office building has precast panels erected onto its structure, with hexagonal metal sunshades. Most are on the northwestern corners, which get the most sun, and were designed to mimic the shapes of the surrounding headland.
CDA Architecture designed the hotel building, while Jasmax designed the other four buildings. A nine-storey tower between the office building and hotel is planned to complete the development, while space will allow for another three-storey building if required at a later date.
Dominion Constructors project manager Graeme Harvey said the project involved overcoming various challenges, something which required precise planning. "The Icon is a structurally glazed building with a steel frame. The challenge has been dealing with the specifications on structural steel caused by the weight of the glass facade," Mr Harvey said. "Each section of window weighs between 350 and 400 kilograms, with some of the big ones weighing up to 600 kilograms."
There were also issues with windows in the main hotel building, in which everything was in modules of 1.2 metres. "We've got raking sections in hexagonal shapes and needed to get the windows behind the 1.2 metre segments. When we put the windows in we had to make sure the precast was spot on. We started at the front atrium and worked anti-clockwise around the building with the window installation. It was crucial wherever we had a change in direction in a hexagonal shape that the windows lined up."
Levels one and two had to be fitted up to the curtain wall, with windows on those levels fitted up to the curtain wall on the four external corners of the building. The precast installation took two and a half months. Mr Harvey said the project took a lot of planning; including ensuring the precast was precise for the windows."We also had to have a special crane for the office building.
"A circular crane was set up on the podium between it and the hotel. It focused on the precast, with the structure and panels we had to put around the building. "One of the things we had to manage was getting that section finished so we could get the crane out in time to finish the structure for the concrete podium." The Crossing is quickly coming to life, with one set of tenants already occupying a level of the office building, and the retail units below nearly full. "The amenity has been designed to provide everything the tenants of Highbrook might want on a day-to-day basis," Mr Dufaur said.
Although a nine-level tower is being planned for The Crossing, it is difficult to predict tenant demand. But those that come along early in the process are more likely to have a say about how it will be completed. "Quest had a substantial say in how the hotel building would work, as did Waipuna, future tenants of the conference centre that is now under construction."
Goodman New Zealand head of projects Peter Yendell said The Crossing was efficiently planned, with infrastructure and outside car parks put in first to enable easy access for builders. The company was also made aware early on in the development planning process that there was interest from a number of short-stay accommodation providers. "There were project teams coming out to businesses in the park and very few places to stay in this part of the world. We ended up opting for a 60-room hotel, which is being leased to Quest for 10 years."
Mr Yendell is excited about the attention to detail on both the buildings themselves, and with the amenities being provided. "The plaza is intended as an attractive area for relaxation, with its canopied walkway, seating, shelter from the wind, landscaping, and an open fireplace, as well as a crossing place between buildings. And the planned nine-level building between the offices and hotel will make the plaza even more enclosed. The lighting at the top of The Icon will be a focal point for the whole park and nearby community – a beacon."

Hyundai has confirmed that the rear-drive Genesis Coupe will be built in right-hand drive and will arrive in the UK towards the end of 2010. The coupe is based on the Genesis saloon, which will be built in right-hand drive as well; however, it will not come to the UK. Rather, it will be sold only in Australia, Japan and South Africa.
Engine choices vary for Hyundai Europe and Hyundai UK. Europe is reported to prefer a four-cylinder 2.0-liter turbo, while the UK has a liking for a V6.
The four-cylinder produces 207bhp at 6000rpm and 223lb ft at 2000rpm, while the V6 produces 302bhp at 6300rpm and 266lb ft at 4700rpm.
The Coupe comes with a six-speed manual 'box or a six-speed ZF auto. Moreover, the US model offers a limited-slip diff as an option. Hyundai is slated to produce up to six new models until 2011.
This lineup includes the Veloster coupe and the i40, which replaces the Sonata and will be launched first as an estate.
According to a Hyundai insider, the difference between the i40 and the Sonata can be likened to the Accent and the i30. Hyundai also plans to give the i10 a facelift as well as Hyundai's new three-cylinder petrol engines at the end of next year.

Scott Byrom, of moneysupermarket.com, told the Daily Mail: "Customers are still paying average gas bills of nearly £800 even though the price of wholesale gas fell by 60 per cent from mid 2008 to the end of 2009."
The British Retail Consortium explained that, though food price inflation in January was 2.9 per cent, by February it had fallen to just 1.3 per cent. Similarly, Christine McGourty of Energy UK, insisted that the UK enjoys "one of the most competitive energy markets in the world".

The theme of the 30-second advertisement is Bring Vegas Home and it stars an ordinary British couple who bring Vegas home when they play online and mobile casino games at All Slots Casino.

At Dream Day Cakes, we love creating custom birthday cakes that are both unique and fun. This Hello Kitty birthday cake featured Princess Hello Kitty celebrating the birthday from her lovely castle cake.
We used fondant to create the princess figurine, as well as to cover the entire cake. This helped us create details such as the bricks, turrets, and other decorative features.
Celebrating a young girl's birthday, this Hello Kitty themed castle cake truly brought out the smiles.The detail on the dress helped transform this Kitty into a true Princess.
We love helping to celebrate birthdays here at Dream Day Cakes.
Little details added to the fun of this cake — for example a purple heart on the top of a castle turret.
Fondant shrubbery helped accentuate the castle's tower. We made the entire castle edible.
Our fully licensed bakery, located in Gainesville, Florida, creates custom cakes that look as incredible as they taste. Every celebration deserves Dream Day Cakes.

Galton also came to the attention of the notorious double agent Kim Philby at MI6 who wanted to know what Security Service knew about her.
Her file shows she visited Leningrad on the SS Sibier in August 1934, and by January 1935 was working at London University and had been elected as a delegate from the Association of Women Clerks and Secretaries.
Special Branch made "discreet inquiries" around Hampstead where she lived in August 1942, adding that the area was "one which is well populated with persons of communist type and sympathies".
She was described as aged 41, and 5ft 8ins or 9ins tall, "well built and athletic, fresh complexion, dark bobbed hair, oval face, sharp features, wears spectacles, wears no hat".
Philby forwarded an inquiry he said had come from the FBI which noted Galton had been "instrumental in effecting reconciliation" between Stalin and Sir Bernard Pares, Professor of Russian language at London University's School of Slavonic and East European Studies.
It is not known if this was Philby fishing for information but Roger Hollis, later director general of MI5, wrote back to "HAR Philby Esq OBE, SIS," detailing Miss Galton's visit to the USSR in 1934 and another trip with Pares in 1935-1936, and carrying information that she had been instructed by a party superior to abandon her political work for "special research work".
The memo added: "I should very much like to know what the FBI are up to."
In September 1946 Philby received another note from MI5 saying: "Our view of Pares is that in the context of his relations with the Russians he should not be regarded as anything but a silly old man (he is 80 years of age).
"If the FBI want to entertain deep suspicions about him I suppose there is nothing we can do to stop them. The only information which has already been supplied to the FBI is to suggest to them that in our view they would be much more usefully occupied in paying some attention to Dorothy Galton."
By February 1947, she was said to be living at 15 South Hill Park Gardens in Hampstead with the mathematician Professor Hyman Levy, described as a "well known communist" who had moved in with her.
MI5 decided she was no longer of interest and cancelled a "letter check" on her address in February 1952 but a year later a note said she had recently acquired a cottage in the home counties near Windsor and added: "She goes down to it every weekend on her mini-motorcycle."
An informant in the school described her as "a most unpleasant and seriously unbalanced woman and the only person in the place who makes a serious attempt at administration. She is by no means efficient, yet through her industry and her policy of interfering in every aspect of the school's activities, she exerts considerable influence."
A small row broke out that the Armed Services had not been told about concerns given her the involvement with Joint Services School of Language but the file noted: "Service departments have been fully warned about Miss Galton's record and are on their guard."
MI5 noted that she was moving to a country cottage in Parndon, Essex, part-owned by her brother-in-law, Albert Evans, the Labour MP for South West Islington, and had "disposed of her motor-scooter and invested in a car."
Her retirement from the university saw her turning her attention to bee-keeping and the work "Survey of a Thousand Years of Beekeeping in Russia."

Lakers fans will not be surprised by this news: Bulls forward Pau Gasol is the winner of the 2014-15 Magic Johnson Award, which is given annually by the Professional Basketball Writers Assn. to the player who excels on the court and in showing dignity in dealing with the media and public.
Gasol, who showed great patience and poise during some tumultuous times with the Lakers, was gracious as always upon hearing the news.
"It's easy to be friendly. It's easy to be kind," Gasol told reporters on Wednesday. "It rubs off on people, so you want to balance out the negatives in the world with some positives. So that's what I try to do.
"I just try to be helpful. I try to help other people do their jobs well," Gasol said. "I understand my position and that this is a part of our jobs. So I always try to be kind and polite, even when I'm not feeling great or I might be upset because of the loss. I understand that it's still part of my job to be one of the team's leaders and role models to stand up and share my thoughts when I need."
Gasol has helped the Bulls reach the playoffs despite injuries to key players this season, including All-Star point guard Derrick Rose. Chicago has a 2-0 series lead over the Milwaukee Bucks, who host Game 3 on Thursday night.
Gasol, who averaged 18.7 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists this season, admitted the award is special because it's named after basketball legend Magic Johnson.
With regard to criticism, Gasol said, "I try to understand that it's nothing personal. People are just trying to do their jobs. I don't like people getting me to react in a negative way. So when there's criticism, when things are not going well, you understand it, you accept it, and then you spend some time with yourself and you release and understand why things happened and you move on.
"We're all human, we're not all the same," Gasol said, adding of the media, "but you have to understand that people are just trying to do their jobs and you guys are a big part of our success and that's why all the news gets to people and people follow us and the sport is as big as it is. So the more coverage, the more attention, the better it is for the sport. But some guys don't see that perspective because the feelings and emotions get in the way and that's human as well. I just try to do my best as always."

Australia faces extreme weather rise, says leaked UN report

- Australia faces extreme weather rise, says leaked UN report
Fri Mar 30, 2:33 AM ET
SYDNEY (AFP) - Australia will suffer more droughts, fires, floods and
storms due to global warming and its famous Great Barrier Reef will be
devastated by 2030, according to leaked extracts Friday of a UN report.
The draft UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report warns
that temperatures in Australia would rise by 6.7 degrees Celsius
before the end of the century, the ABC and Sydney Morning Herald reported.
The report, due to be released on April 6, said rising temperatures
would cause more intense bushfires and lead to deaths from heatwaves.
It also predicted rising sea levels would push the coast back 110
metres (yards) in some Sydney beachside suburbs, swamping some of the
city's most exclusive real estate.
It said tropical cyclones would become more common on Australia's east
coast, where most of the population lives, while 80 percent of the
Great Barrier Reef would be bleached by 2030.
Australia's conservative government played down the report, saying it
was based on previously published scientific research and represented
nothing new.
"Everything in there is well known to us, we know that there is the
possibility or the probability of a hotter and drier future in
southern Australia," Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull told ABC radio.
"We have a whole climate change adaptation framework under way, we are
very focused on adapting to climate change."
The UN report is the second in a series of three addressing climate
change that has been prepared by a panel of more than 2,000 scientists.
The first, released in February, linked the rise in global
temperatures to human activities, the second examines inpacts in
individual countries and the third looks at how the problem can be

UUCP History
Hints of Our History—Historic Nuggets
UUCP 50th Anniversary Chair Barbara Goggins and A-Team member Dolly Berthelot are developing a short history in progress. Information from the deep past draws heavily from the early history written by the late Edna Colby, then incorporates short pieces by Carolyn Salmon and others along the way, plus Board and Congregational Minutes, Light Newsletter, and other documents, on which Barbara Goggins has done the major research and compilation. The narrative is being expanded and further developed, and edited by Dolly Berthelot, using memories from her own involvement over nearly three decades, plus interviews, emails, and written memories shared by other members past and present. As the big 50th Anniversary weekend approaches, they are also developing some Historic Nuggets and sharing them in Sunday services, in February till April. Some of those capsules are available on this web site, as hints of our rich heritage. Attendees April 11-13 will receive a small booklet of our history—and have opportunities to offer memories, perspectives, and facts that may influence future revisions or expansions. The history is being rushed to press for this event. Within a tight time frame, we make every effort to be accurate and fair, and apologize in advance for any unintentional errors, omissions, or distortions, real or perceived. History writing is always a dynamic and a subjective process. Any honest history will present some painful thorns, along with the abundance of brilliant and beautiful roses.
First Known Universalist Presence in Pensacola
Unitarian Roots in Pensacola
Dynamic—and Sometimes Distressing—1980s
Mid-1990s Anti Abortion Violence, Aftermath
UUCP "pre-history"
Before there were UU's, there were U's and there were U's. One of those U's was present in Pensacola at the turn of the twentieth century. That U was for Universalist, which became part of our name when Unitarians and Universalists merged in 1961. Nationally, the Universalist organized in 1793; the Unitarians organized in 1825. Overseas, their roots go back centuries, according to the Unitarian Universalist Association.
In 1902, a woman named ATHALIA IRWIN was ordained in our fair city as a Universalist minister and served the Universalist church here from 1902-1904.
The Universalist denomination was the leader in ordaining women. In fact, it ordained Universalist Minister Olympia Brown in 1863. She is often cited as the very first woman minister in the United States, but there is some dispute about that.
The local Universalist church, the one where ATHALIA IRWIN was ordained, was located in downtown Pensacola. The city directories of the time showed a listing under CHURCHES –WHITE – – UNIVERSALIST — FIRST UNIVERSALIST CHURCH with an address of 44 E. CHASE Street.
This would put the church approximately on the back corner of the First Presbyterian Church complex and next to the old Pensacola Glass Co. The 1903 directory showed Rev. Irwin living in a house at 500 N. Hayne Street.
That Universalist church started in 1898, and services were held on the first and third Sundays. That church continued till about 1935.
April 11-13, 2008, we celebrate the start of the Unitarian group which has been a continuous presence in Pensacola since 1958 and evolved directly into UUCP.
Barbara Goggins and Dolly Berthelot
PUUF/UUCP Earliest
It all began fifty years ago. In January of 1958, Penny Barney, a local resident, placed an advertisement in The Pensacola Journal, asking persons holding liberal religious beliefs to attend a meeting. Five individuals responded to her ad. Penny became the founder of what became Pensacola Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (affectionately called PUUF), and decades later, the congregation renamed itself Unitarian Universalist Church of Pensacola.
As Penny was taking this local initiative in 1958, the national Unitarian denomination sensed a budding interest in the South and sent a man by the name of Monroe Husbands to aid in organizing groups to become Unitarian fellowships. Mr. Husbands came to Pensacola. His talk, announced in The Pensacola Journal, brought a number of people together. Some came out of curiosity about the unfamiliar word "Unitarian," others came to satisfy a real need to communicate with people holding values similar to their own.
On July 16, 1958 the American Unitarian Association admitted the Pensacola group into fellowship.
Finding a place to meet proved difficult. The group met in private homes, the Armory, Temple Beth El, a day nursery, the YWCA, even in a closed bar. Cramped facilities and protesting babies in a nearby room at times made serious thought difficult.
During one period, the Pensacola Unitarian Fellowship met on Sunday mornings at the American Legion Hall. Church school was then held in the bar of the hall, says Penny's original song about PUUF, "where the spirits of the night before lingered to mingle with that of the classroom.
The facilities problem was solved in September of 1965 with the purchase of the Jehovah Witnesses meeting house at 904 East Scott Street. Cost was $5,200. Pensacola Home and Savings held the mortgage for $3,500 and an interest free loan was obtained from the United Unitarian Association for $1,700 which was to be paid back at a rate of $10.00 per month. The payment on the mortgage amounted to $39 per month or $468 per year. –Barbara Goggins
PUUF/UUCP History, 1980s
The Dynamic—and Sometimes Distressing—1980s
The 1980s brought dynamic growth and transformation, under the consecutive leadership of three exceptionally active presidents–who were then elected for two-year terms followed by two more on the Board. Art and Linda de Tonnancourt entered on Easter 1978, finding an informal discussion group of 25-30 folks, some even smoking. The couple had tremendous impact. Art's 3 years as president (1 replacing Bob Haywood) helped the Fellowship become a more stable organization with governing board and real services. We improved 904 Scott St., added a kitchen, bought a cottage two doors down (924) as an RE building, started a canvass system of regular pledges, and grew a financially supporting membership of about 85 by 1985, when VP Carolyn Salmon ably took the helm.
President Carolyn Salmon carried on and extended earlier initiatives, and led us toward a full time settled contract with our half-time extension minister, Rev. Michel Seider.
But a funny thing happened a day or two before Dolly Berthelot officially began her presidency, expecting a stable year led by the minister to whom we'd become accustomed. Michael Seider knocked at her door at 9:30 pm to announce his departure—from PUUF, from Pensacola, and from Ministry. He simply felt a change of heart. Turmoil, commitment, and creativity resulted, with most making a tremendous effort to pull together. With devoted help from the Board, Service Leader Marion Holland and the president beat every bush, including UU General Assembly, for speakers, and found excellent ones. With no minister, the president led almost all services. Stalwart leaders Dorothy Hinkle, treasurer, and Liz Pedro, secretary, became critically ill that year, and the VP suddenly moved out of town. Amid all else, those key leaders had to be replaced. Art deTonnancourt stepped up again, as VP.
A Search Committee was elected to find a new minister. Carolyn Salmon and Ron Berthelot co-chaired. By spring, a short-term interim, Rev. Wyman Rousseau, briefly brought much needed relief, particularly welcome while the president's father was also dying of cancer in Louisiana. All the beleaguered workers excitedly looked forward to meeting the ministerial candidate the Search Committee had rushed to put forth, and we anticipated the usual, and especially needed, restful summer…
But more shock waves hit. At her first Sunday service and candidating week here, the candidate was judged a poor match for PUUF and was rejected—even by some search members who chose her, and by other leaders who most needed respite. We had to start the whole process over.
All hell broke loose. A few advocates of this candidate, led by two search members and their spouses, started Sunday home meetings—the same time as PUUF services. Some expressed belief that the No vote meant the Fellowship didn't really want any minister, and that PUUF did not adequately support Religious Education. RE leaders were among those who fled, so the refurbished RE house was deserted for weeks. Summer conflict resolution meetings with UUA consultants Roger Comstock and Eileen Karpeles helped. Almost all members returned and were quickly re-integrated. We paddled forth, happily together again.
Jean Shields chaired a short-term Interim Search Team carefully appointed to represent diverse factions and theological perspectives for a religiously diverse congregation.
Nov. 20, 1988, Interim Minister Steve Stock began his 20-month tenure, in time to participate in our quickly created and wonderful 30th Anniversary Celebration, Dec. 4, 1988. Steve was naturally facilitative, accepting, and witty. He provided terrific, provocative services and was a soothing salve, relieving our stress and pains from past traumas.
That 30th Anniversary event was rousing, rejuvenating, and joyous.
Our lively PUUF Founder, Penny Barney Long, flew in from Kansas, and shared her original song about our Fellowship. Now a lively 87-year-old, she sends best wishes, and is sorry she won't be able to make our 50th Celebration, April 11-13. However, we will hear her delightful song again. –Dolly Berthelot
UUCP History, mid-1990s
Anti-Abortion Violence, Tragedy, and Aftermath
In a climate of rising abortion controversy and anti-abortion violence in the 1990s, several of our members were bravely escorting at two women's reproductive health clinics, as some members still do. July 29, 1994, the second clinic murders took the life of Dr. Bayard Britton and our beloved member, retired Lt. Colonel Jim Barrett, age 74, and wounded his wife, June Barrett, who remained actively committed in our area and beyond.
Moving memorials were held (with police protection) at Pensacola Unitarian Universalist Fellowship on Scott Street and at Christ Episcopal Church. UUA President John A. Buehrens and District Executive John DeWolf-Hurt rushed down for support. We were then in-between ministers, after the Rev. Rod Brownand before interim minister Rev. Robert Flanders. With help from a devoted board and others, new PUUF President Thom Botsford ably led us through periods of mourning, coping, dealing with regional and national media, and moving forward. Rodney Wells chaired a dynamic, multifaceted Social Action Committee.
PUUF got intensely involved on several fronts. The Women's Reproductive Rights subcommittee of our Social Action Committee launched the White Ribbon Project, a national fundraising and awareness campaign, and won a UUA grant for security videotaping at both clinics, to document protester activities and to reduce violence. New member Jodie Manale coordinated a series of public small group dialogues designed by the national Common Ground organization. Various members facilitated; both members and people of other faiths participated. An interfaith coalition of women's groups developed from these PUUF subcommittees and successfully lobbied the City of Pensacola to adopt a Safety Zone around both clinics. This interfaith coalition led to Florida's first chapter of theReligious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.
An HBO special highlighted our later memorial service for Jim, with our choir performing "Jim's Song" written by R.C. Edwards.
Focus on the abortion issue attracted some visitors who became members and caused some members to drift away. June Barrett lives now in Port Charlotte, FL. She and her daughter Mary Holley are coming to our Anniversary!
Our beautiful grand piano is dedicated to Lt. Colonel Jim Barrett. Some 53 people contributed to its purchase. As you enjoy this instrument each Sunday, please remember and appreciate its powerful history. —Dolly Berthelot

Watching: Sherlock Season 3
Listening: Clarity - Zedd
Reading: Nothing! I need a book.
Looking Forward To: Seeing friends at the weekend, buying clothes, moving house!
Feeling: On the mend :) Happy, happy, happy!!
It looks amazing, perfect length for you <3
Jennie xo | sailorjennie.com
Lovely length - although I always like your hair no matter what style:P But I totally understand why you would chose to cut it, I too am really considering it! This has encouraged me, thanks :)
Love, Lou xx
Like I said before, I really like your new hairstyle, even if both styles look nice on you. Is it possible that the reason you had so much trouble with your long hair, is that maybe you did not use organic shampoos and you did not comb it the right way? I used to have a LOT of problems with my hair before, and was dreading dealing with it too. But then my best friend introduced me to the Parabens and Sulfate free shampoos (AVEDA, CHI shampoo/conditioner...) and I learned how to properly comb my hair. Since then I love my hair, it is longer than it has ever been and I do not fear tangles and love to wash it as often as is recommended. But in any cases, a change of looks is always good, it is like starting from fresh :D

Good government is committed to the happiness of the people and knowing HOW to attain happiness of the people.
How well do you think our government is living up to this ideal in our day?
Which Presidential candidate would be best for the country and why?
In that case you will not have good government. Candidates and parties are funded by corporations and it is he who pays the piper that calls the tune. So ultimately it is the purpose of government to be committed to the happiness of shareholdrs otherwise their funding streams are cut off and they do not get elected.
The Constitution is supposed to work in favor of the happiness of the people, not shareholders and corporations.
What is causing this problem?
...something the framers did not count on?
can we fix it?
Stop supporting the GOP and you will be well on your way toward a solution.
Voting provides a REVOLVING door. The advantage is that those in office will not be in a position of too much power or corruption.
Also, The Executive Branch needs to have a true dedication to the People!
The one who puts his hand on the Bible, regarding his oath of office to uphold the Constitution… and to serve THE PEOPLE... needs to be telling the truth.
In the UK the idea of funding political parties from general taxation instead of corporations , individuals or trade union funding has been mooted on many occasions as a potential solution to cleaning up politics. However the commonly held image of a career politician just in it to feather their own nest means that this is not particularly popular with the public in general.
The uncorrupted are waiting to come in...
PS Whats wrong with flat tax and No IRS!
Legitimate individual contributions, (which are the result of freedom of speech, after all,) are now limited through modern legislation, such as the campaign financial reform bill. Back door deals, however, are not targeted, but they should be... and the ones doing the wheeling and dealing should be punished by law!

Missing EgyptAir MS804: How the world reacted to latest plane mystery
AS THE world wakes up to the chilling news that yet another passenger jet had disappeared some 37,000 feet above we recreate the reaction – as it happened.
One Briton is among 66 missing on the EgyptAir flight MS804 that vanished and hour before it was due to land in Cairo.
The flight left Paris at 11.09pm on Wednesday night (10.09pm GMT) but failed to land as scheduled in Egypt at 03:15 on Thursday morning (04:15am GMT).
Some five hours later the world is still watching and waiting for good news.
Twitter was set alight with updates from airline EgyptAir's account, which continued to Tweet updates throughout the early hours.
The airline confirmed the disappearance just before 4am (3am GMT).
An informed source at EGYPTAIR stated that Flight no MS804,which departed Paris at 23:09 (CEST),heading to Cairo has disappeared from radar.— EGYPTAIR (@EGYPTAIR) May 19, 2016
As the confirmation came in at around 4am (GMT), thousands took to social media to share their concern for all involved.
Laila Ahmed took to Facebook to share concerns that her cousin – an EgyptAir pilot – was on the missing flight.
She wrote: "I can't believe I have woken up to this!! I'm in utter shock, not just because it is such a tragedy, but because I use that airline often whenever I travel bk home [sic] and many Egyptians I know do too! Not to mention my cousin Akram M. Sabour is a pilot for EgyptAir, and I still haven't heard back from him!!!! - Really trying hard not to panic!!!"
"All so suspicious"Ayesha Bashir
But an hour later Laila confirmed that he was safe after hearing from relatives.
Social media was rife with conflicting reports over the cause of the missing plane.
Aviation experts came forward to claim their disbelief that the plane has vanished or was continuing to travel – as first believed in the MH370 incident in 2014 – due to mechanical failure.
Others have suggested the disappearance is due to a deliberate terrorist attack.
But air travel expert Julian Bray said the lack of distress call could mean the airliner suffered a "catastrophic failure" possibly as a result of an explosion.

A source at a Greek airport reportedly confirmed that the plane had crashed off the Greek Island of Karpathos – causing many media sources to report the information.
But EgyptAir quickly refuted any claims on its Twitter account.

Meanwhile the families of the 66 on board - including French, Egyptian and a British national were rounded up at Cairo airport – arriving at around 8am (GMT).
Destraught, they were seen telling journalists that they had been left without any information.
The ongoing mystery sparked rumours and conspiracy theories across the web too.

Airbus regrets to confirm the loss of an Egyptair A320, flight #MS804. Statement #1: https://t.co/M2bCgegqH5 1/2— Airbus (@Airbus) May 19, 2016
Plane manufacturer Airbus took to Facebook to express its concerns for all onboard.
It confirmed that the A320 operated by EgyptAir lost at around 03:30 this morning had been with the airline since 2003 and accumulated 48,000 flights hours - with no technical issues reported.
Airbus A320's have been in production since 1988 and last month there were almost 7,000 in operation worldwide.
Plane watchers took to Twitter to post the spot where the plane had its last communication with air control as well as weather updates that show there were no tricky conditions for the pilots to manoeuvre.
Turbulence charts as of 7 PM CDT show no significant trouble areas where Egypt Air 804 disappeared. #EgyptAir pic.twitter.com/MVfsoKNEfu— Sheraz Masoud Gondal (@itxSMG) May 19, 2016

Usually held in a town hall or boring looking office blocks, I've been to some brilliant (and awful) ones for brands including Urban Outfitters and Accessorize, as well as designer brands, and you really can get some unbelievable bargains.
|Some recent sample sale bargains include Pierre Hardy, Swedish Hasbeens, and Miu Miu boots!
Here are my top tips for surviving a sample sale:
Have an idea of what you're looking for
By the time you get in it's likely clothes will be on the floor, sizes won't be in their allocated areas, and there will be more left shoes than right. Go with an idea of what you want rather than aimlessly rummaging through everything with the vague hope of finding something or anything.
Don't buy for the sake of it
I found an amazing Alexander McQueen leather dress recently and picked it up quickly before anyone else nabbed it. Then as I walked around I started realising that I had only picked it up because it seemed like a good purchase. It's never a good purchase if you're not going to wear it!
Take a bag
This isn't a civilised shopping experience most of the time, and there aren't baskets or sales assistants. I've ended up with armfuls of stuff that I've been hardly able to carry and seething with jealousy at the clever woman who brought her Tesco bag for life.
Plan your arrival time
If you get there first, you're in with a greater chance of getting the best quality bargains, and things that are more likely to be on trend now. However, if you get there late you can benefit from final reductions and offers as retailers don't want to take anything back with them.
Don't expect brand new
These items are likely to have been used in photoshoots or window displays, or have been returned as faulty. It is highly unlikely that you'll find a brand new, never worn item, so go with the expectation of having to sew up a hole or put up with a small biro mark. It's a small sacrifice to pay to the bargain gods!
Do a second circuit
I took my boyfriend to a sample sale recently (his first) and he quickly said that he couldn't find anything. After convincing him to do a second circuit while I still rummaged, he ended up getting 3 pairs of shoes for about 1/5th of their retail price. People put things down or you could purely have missed something the first time around, so go back just in case.
To find the best sample sales I recommend signing up to your favourite retailers' newsletters and Twitter feeds as they are often announced online. I also use http://samplesal.es/, which is specifically for London sales.

Shield won a Leopardstown bumper in March and ran well on the Flat at the Curragh last month. Blow The Doors Off landed a Sligo bumper in May and there was plenty to like about his first start over hurdles at Galway last month when runner-up to Very Wood. Valmy Baie has already had four runs over timber in France and has joined Gordon Elliott after an excellent second at Enghien in February. Valseur Lido landed a bumper in France a year ago over 1m4f and will be much better suited by this stiffer test while Katie T should go well after a decent effort here a fortnight ago. VOLUPTUEUX showed the benefit of his opening run when well supported in a bumper at Limerick and coming home in fine style. He's given the nod in a race that should produce plenty of future winners.
Blow The Doors Off 4-1 (11-7) Soon chased leaders, 2nd approaching 3 out, pushed along before straight, no impression and kept on same pace from last, 2nd of 7, 3 1/2l behind Very Wood (11-7) at Galway 2m 4yo mdn hdl hvy in Oct.

Jason Manford: 'I'm looking at the funny side'
With more than a decade of stand-up under his belt, comedian Jason Manford has set himself some greater challenges
When Jason Manford was shooting the series Ordinary Lies, rumours swirled that he was playing Michelle Keegan's husband. He wasn't, but he found people's bemused reaction a little insulting.
"I was more offended that people thought it wasn't believable!" jokes the 34-year-old. "But hang on a minute, I don't have to be good-looking - I'm funny."
And Manford will be putting his "funny" talents to use in a new series for ITV called It's A Funny Old Week. Following the success of his annual comedy review show, A Funny Old Year, this time he'll be casting his eye over weekly events from the worlds of news, showbiz, culture and sport.
"I'm made up to be hosting it after three end-of-year specials," says the Salford-born presenter, who adds that "everyone's in for a treat".
"It's a fun recap of the news from local headlines to world events. I'm looking at the funny side of what goes on in the world each week and discovering how crazy the news can be."
Citing Billy Connolly as his early comedy inspiration, Manford was only 17 when he first tried stand-up. He was working as a glass collector at a comedy club at the time, when an act didn't arrive for their spot one night, so he stepped in. Just a few gigs later, and he earned the title of The City Life North West Comedian of the Year.
In 2005, Manford walked away with the prestigious Perrier Award in Edinburgh and now, 10 years on, he's one of the country's most established comics.
Recently, however, he's been looking to challenge himself in other areas, including focusing more on his acting, following cameo appearances in TV series such as Shameless.
"Stand-up is my favourite job and I'll never stop doing that, but you get to a point where you go, 'Right, I've played the arenas and the London Palladium and the Royal Albert Hall and The 02'," he reveals. "You're always getting better, but I never think, 'What else have I got to learn?'
"Well, until I see someone amazing like Louis C K," he adds, "and think, 'Oh God, I've still got work to do.'"
But with acting, he feels he's constantly learning something new.
"I'm working with people I can learn from directly," explains the father-of-five (he has four children with his ex-wife Catherine and one with girlfriend Lucy). He's also appeared in the third series of Ripper Street - "I looked like the bloke from the Go Compare adverts" - and Tommy Cooper: Not Like That, Like This, and he's enjoying his role in Ordinary Lies.
While presenting and acting both involve being in front of the camera, there are fundamental differences - and he's particularly enjoying one of them.
"First of all, I don't have to look at it when I'm acting," he explains.
This is "the complete opposite of what I'm used to", when working on shows like 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Live At The Apollo and The One Show. "That's just reading the autocue and pretending to look like you're not reading."
And he takes his new-found craft seriously. "I suppose as a comic coming into this world, you do wonder what people are thinking. What's weird is that you'd think I'd mess about, but the pressure of that means I never do," he continues.
"I'll do it a lot off camera and we'll have a laugh in the rest period, but I'm never thinking, 'Oh, I wonder whether this will get on It'll Be Alright On The Night?' That's not on my mind. I'm genuinely thinking, 'Right, let's get this done properly'."
Thankfully, learning lines isn't a problem. "I'm on stage a lot with two hours' worth of material in my head, so remembering what to say isn't a problem, but it's a very different discipline and I have a lot of respect for the guys and girls who do it all the time. In a way, I'm glad I'm able to do different things."
He also finds it's a relief to do something where "I'm not looking for the laugh all the time".
"There's a slight pressure, even in a conversation on a chat show or panel show, where you're always thinking, 'How can I get something funny in?'" he admits. But then in his line of work, people have certain expectations.
"If you work in an office and you're in a mood, you can just go in and keep your head down and not have anyone talk to you that day, but when you're doing something that's with people, whether performing or sales, that's you're bread and butter, so you've got to shut off whatever's going on in your life," Manford notes. "You have to put on a face."

from operating the City of David Archeological Park outside Jerusalem's Old City
Walls, concluding a three-year legal saga.The Ir Amim organization filed
the petition in July 2010, alleging that the contract between the Israel Nature

the area is a national park and should be public.

It's both. Despite nightwork4's idea that "we are killing our planet," when Mt. Saint Helens erupted years ago, more co2 was released than in the entire history of fossil fuel consumption. . . .so nature is a far more powerful source of the warming than we are.
I'm not saying at all here that we shouldn't be more responsible, we should be more responsible. The nightwork4 perspective is false, and based in a guilt that you and I should not have.
"We" are not killing our planet, corporations are, and mother nature is a destructive force herself.

There has been much to indicate that it is a supposition that is assumed rather than proven. The evidence presented by some scientists is a bit doctored in order to reach the conclusions necessary to prove global warming. In truth, we do not possess enough historical weather data observations to make a conclusion of statistical significance with regard to global warming. While I certainly believe we should all use commen sense and be good stewards of our world, we have to be able to separate truth from fiction. To operate on the assumption that mankind even possess the ability and power to alter the atmospheric conditions of the earth is a rather pompous position of ego. Global warming provides some of the same financial opportunities afford by racial conflict etc. Those professing to be perveyors of it often are also making a tidy income from it thus they love to hammer the point. The day Al Gore can show up somewhere and swear that he has never made a dime off of environmental issues and does not stand to make any money off of Cap & Trade will be the day the world likely stops turning on its axis. As a public we are far too gullible and not willing to follow the money in these scenarios. Often, the money is the reason the concept came about and the wonderful thing about using an environmental issue is that it is impossible to prove a negative when someone says "okay prove that mankind is not damaging the atmosphere"...It's foolproof and there are plenty out there like Gore who will tout their background and intellect as the basis for why you should believe. Believe it if you want to but don't take their information as the basis for your belief. If less scientists in this country were not dependent on government and private grants for their livelihood you might hear far more of them speaking out on the fallacy of global warming. Most are remaining mute and hanging on to their research grants.

There are climate cycles. "Global warming" may or may not be happening at present. Humans are contributing to it in the sense that if the climate is getting warmer, we are making it warmer. If the climate is cooling, we are slowing the cooling.
But the whole debate is designed by your rulers to divert attention from the REAL problem that no one -- you or your rulers -- wants to address. That is overpopulation and the resource crash occurring because of it.

BATA founder member Dr Nasser Siabi, CEO of Microlink PC, has received a lifetime achievement award in the National Diversity Awards held at the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool recently.
Nasser has spent 25 years spreading the message about inclusivity and creating opportunities for disabled people. In 1992 he founded Microlink, now the largest independent supplier of assistive technology ion the UK.
Some 40% of the company's employees are disabled and Microlink has helped over a quarter of a million individuals around the world.
For example, Microlink has developed a mass screening tool to identify needs and target solutions for disabilities, which has been successfully piloted in several schools in Cape Town, South Africa.
The judges described Nasser as a man who has "dedicated his life and personal time to his vision".
He has now turned his attention to a project which aims to create a 'truly inclusive classroom' to help every student in this country reach their full potential..
"I focus on finding the barriers that young disabled people face and do my up most best in breaking these," said Nasser.
"Making employers aware of the skills that these people can offer, and changing their preconceptions is of upmost importance to me. I hope the work I do gives people the life opportunities that we all take for granted. It's about giving people the life they want and deserve.
"By making people aware of the changes that need to be made, I hope that preconceptions will change and there will be increased opportunities for young and disabled people.
"Some are easy, some are not, but I believe that the work I'm doing is making a difference. We need to focus on youth and give them all the life opportunities they deserve and want. They are our future after all."

The exposure given bassist Dennis Irwin in Malinverni's scheme of things reveals his appreciation of the reliance Evans placed on the many good bass players he used to help deliver his musical message. Listen to Irwin rhapsodize on "What Is there to Say?", one of the several opportunities he gets to show off his skills on the bass. Veteran drummer Leroy Williams applies his drum sticks and swishing brushes appropriately and judiciously throughout the session, always on top, but never dominating.
Malinverni is vocalist Jody Sandhaus' regular accompanist and has worked with jazz artists representing a variety of styles such as Ralph LaLama, Tom Harrell and Don Menza. But clearly he is quite comfortable in the trio format as shown on this highly recommended album.

A mid-season form slump saw plenty of questions raised about Brisbane's premiership credentials, those questions were answered in resounding fashion on Friday night.
The Broncos' 26-16 win over Melbourne at AAMI Park, off the back of a vital result against Canterbury the week before, showed that no matter where they finish on the NRL ladder, the Broncos will be a dangerous opponent come the playoffs.
Brisbane got the better of Melbourne in the middle of the park behind the leadership and energy of milestone men Sam Thaiday (250th game) and Matt Gillett (150th game).
Captain Corey Parker insisted the difference in the way the Broncos are playing is simply their improved execution.
"I think for us, it is just actions," said Parker.
"That's what was missing, I suppose, six weeks ago.
"We weren't putting those actions in place, that's where we've turned it around."
Coach Wayne Bennett was clear in his feelings that recovering from the busy State of Origin period was the main reason for Brisbane's return to prominence.
"It all happened through the Origin period," said Bennett of his team's earlier form slump.
"You forget when you are finding fault with us and criticising us,, but on two occasions, they had to back-up three games in eight days.
"No club had more representatives in Origin than we did. It has a huge impact on your club."
Melbourne captain Cameron Smith agreed that, having recovered from the effects of representative football, Brisbane's class was beginning to show.
"Oh yeah, they've got a quality side. I know they went through a bit of a rough patch there through Origin," Smith said.
"That's always going to take its toll on a team. But they all look quite refreshed now and they are all playing well."

If the forest regulations unveiled by the Bush administration Wednesday had been in place years earlier, the fight over Northwest old-growth trees and spotted owls could have taken...
If the forest regulations unveiled by the Bush administration Wednesday had been in place years earlier, the fight over Northwest old-growth trees and spotted owls could have taken a different direction.
Environmentalists' successful legal challenges to logging in Northwest national forests in the 1980s and early 1990s hinged partly on rules now being set aside in favor of streamlined regulations.
As national forests around the region prepare to overhaul their plans for the first time since the earlier timber wars, environmental veterans warn that the new regulations will help undo a Clinton-era measure that led to dramatic cuts in logging on Northwest national forests. And they say it removes vital tools used in that era to prod the U.S. Forest Service to protect the environment.
Forest Service officials, however, say they are trying to respond to new threats facing Northwest forests — including massive wildfires and invasive weeds — with more speed and agility, and without drawn-out bureaucratic processes that deter public involvement. Widespread logging is largely a thing of the past, they said.
"We're still arguing about logging, and frankly we're not doing a lot of logging," said Linda Goodman, the regional forester who oversees national forests covering 25 million acres in Washington and Oregon.
The new regulations govern how land managers devise 15-year plans for the future of each national forest, governing everything from wildlife protections to logging to recreation.
The new rules replace requirements for highly detailed plans in favor of overarching goals that can guide future decision making, as the agency grapples with changing and often competing demands.
If the new regulations survive expected legal challenges, their effect could be felt throughout the Northwest, where national forests are scheduled to revise long-term plans that guide everything from logging and mining to salmon protection and trail maintenance.
"The litmus test [for the administration's new regulations] will likely occur with the Northwest Forest Plan, because it is the granddaddy," said Andy Stahl, executive director of the Portland-based Forest Service Employees for Environmental Ethics.
That plan was the federal government's 1994 answer to U.S. District Judge William Dwyer's rulings blocking logging until the Forest Service came up with a plan to protect the spotted owl, listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. It put large stretches of old-growth trees off-limits to chain saws.
While the Endangered Species Act gained much of the attention at the time, it was the less-well-known law governing plans devised by national forests that was the linchpin. Environmentalists successfully argued that the Forest Service hadn't shown its plans would protect the "viability" of the spotted owl, something required under regulations at the time.
The new regulations would scrap the "viability" language in favor of broader language requiring protection of a diversity of plants and animals. It also would make an environmental-impact statement about the forest plan optional. Dwyer's rulings over the spotted owl focused on whether those impact statements were adequate.
Getting rid of those provisions could make it harder to hold the Forest Service accountable, and reopen some areas closed to logging by the Northwest Forest Plan, said Todd True, an attorney for the environmental group Earthjustice, who was the lead lawyer on the spotted-owl lawsuits.
"The regulations that were changed by the Bush administration were the fundamental catalyst in the lawsuits over Northwest ancient forests," he said. "They played that important role because they set standards that the public, or anyone else, could use to be sure that the government was accountable — that there was a yardstick you could measure its actions against."
Forest Service officials say the new regulations do take into account the needs of animals and plants in the forest, but with a broader eye toward protecting overall habitat, rather than species by species. That's in keeping with the latest science about how ecosystems work, said Sally Collins, associate chief of the Forest Service and a former forest supervisor of Oregon's Deschutes National Forest.
"We've got to have a regulation that really is allowing us to bring new science in and take old science out," Collins said. "We're going to have as much analytical work done to take a look at biological diversity as we have in the past."
The provisions of the Northwest Forest Plan, written into the plans of individual forests, will be reviewed as each plan comes up for revision, Goodman said.
"They'll be taking a lot of what the Northwest Forest Plan says and saying, 'What do we need? Do we need more? Do we need less?' "
Chris West, vice president of the American Forest Resource Council, which represents forest-product manufacturers and landowners, said the new regulations would allow environmental studies of individual projects. Those should be more useful than overly broad examinations of programs throughout a national forest or region, he said. It also would help break bureaucratic logjams that environmentalists have used to block legitimate projects, he said.
"The environmentalists aren't going to like this because they've been able to use and abuse the 20-plus-year-old regulations to obstruct activities," he said. "They want to block things. They want to turn national forests into national parks."
But Stahl said lifting the requirement for broader environmental-impact statements could neglect the cumulative effects of a myriad of smaller projects.
In Washington, three national forests east of the Cascades could be the first place where the new regulations are put to the test. The Okanogan, Wenatchee and Colville forests are all in the early stages of revising the forest plans. It hasn't been decided whether those will take the new track or continue down the regulatory path they began on, Goodman said.
Those forests are grappling with questions of how to regulate off-road vehicles, how to deal with forest-fire threats, what areas might warrant additional wilderness protections and whether to maintain limits on cutting large trees, among other things.
