After Paris attacks on November 2015, Donald Trump categorically stated that he would ensure Muslims are banned from entering the USA in order to ensure "Safety" of its citizens.
Mr Trump was widely condemned for his call shortly after the terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015 to temporarily ban all Muslims until he figured out "what the hell was going on".
Now that he is president, he is having a change of heart as he has removed his policy on banning Muslims into the country from his website.
The website page where he stated his initial movement has now been redirected to a page where he is urging citizens to donate towards his government.
This was noticed on the 8th as the cached has been towards towards making people donate money to his government.
Hmmm so there might not be need for a migration of blacks and Muslims after all....

The volunteers left for Texas by steamer on the last day of 1835. That they were already regarded as soldiers in the Texas army is shown by a land certificate for 1,280 acres awarded Sherman for services from December 18, 1835, to December 16, 1836. They carried with them the only flag that the Texans had for the battle of San Jacinto. Sherman's volunteers went down the Ohio and the Mississippi and up Red River to Natchitoches, where Sherman was detained by illness. They reached Texas the day before the election for delegates to the Convention of 1836. Sherman's company demanded and received the right to vote. They proceeded to San Felipe, where they were received by Governor Henry Smith and Sherman received his command. When Sam Houston organized his first regiment at Gonzales in March 1836, Edward Burleson was made colonel and Sherman lieutenant colonel. The army was reorganized at Groce's Ferry and Sherman, recently promoted to colonel, was given command of the Second Regiment of the Texas Volunteers. On the retreat across Texas, Sherman was eager to fight. At the Colorado he asked permission to re-cross the river and engage Joaquín Ramirez y Sesma, but his request was refused. On the afternoon of April 20, 1836, the opposing armies faced each other at San Jacinto. Sherman called for volunteers to seize the Mexican cannon, but the weapon was withdrawn. On the following day Sherman commanded the left wing of the Texas army, opened the attack, and has been credited with the battle cry, "Remember the Alamo". After the battle he acted as president of the board of officers that distributed captured property among the soldiers.
President David G. Burnet refused to accept Sherman's resignation when the fighting was over and instead commissioned him as colonel in the regular army and sent him to the United States to raise more troops. After weeks of illness Sherman made his way back to Kentucky and sent troops and clothing back to Texas. His wife, the former Catherine Isabel Cox, returned to Texas with him. They established their home, Mount Vernon, a one-room log house, on a bluff below the San Jacinto battleground. In 1839 the family moved to Cresent Place on San Jacinto Bay. Sherman was Harris County's representative in the Seventh Congress of the republic, serving as chairman of the committee on military affairs. During his term in office he introduced a bill to establish the position of Major General of the Militia and increase protection along the western and southwestern frontiers. In 1843 he was elected major general of militia, a position he held until annexation. It was in his capacity as head of the militia that he presided over the trial of Capt. Edwin W. Moore.
After annexation, Sherman moved to Harrisburg and with the financial support of investors bought the town and the local railroad company. The town was laid out anew, and he organized the Buffalo Bayou, Brazos and Colorado Railway Company, which constructed the first rail line in the state. In 1852 Sherman was among the passengers when the steamer Farmer burst its boilers; he was saved by clinging to a piece of wreckage. In 1853 the Harrisburg sawmill, owned by Sherman and DeWitt Clinton Harris, was burned. After his residence also burned, Sherman sent his family to Kentucky, and he moved into the railroad office at Harrisburg. Then that office burned. Sherman was keeping the Island City Hotel in Galveston when the Civil War came. Appointed commandant of Galveston by the Secession Convention, he performed his duties ably until he became ill and retired to his home on San Jacinto Bay. A son, Lt. Sidney Sherman, was killed in the battle of Galveston. David Burnet Sherman, the remaining son, died after the family moved to Richmond, and Mrs. Sherman died in 1865. Sherman spent his last years in Galveston. He died there at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J.M.O. Menard, on August 1, 1873. Sherman County and the city of Sherman in Grayson County are named in his honor.
NOTESidney Sherman shares a memorial obelisk with David G. Burnet. In the photo below, Sherman is on the right.

Review for Park Place Bodywerks Auto Body and Collision Repair Center
Michael O. on 09/14/2015
Spoke with Van. She said the staff was not the most customer friendly people. They were a little aloof. Her vehicle was 1 week later than promised and it took too long. Her insurance company had originally prepared the estimate but a supplement was needed because this business said it was too low. They said this would take long but she was not properly informed of the matter. She is not sure if she is satisfied with the personnel.

Movie Pitch Mad Libs
Every time you go to the movies, you find yourself sorely disappointed. "This was not the creative, exciting film the trailers promised," you curse in silence as the credits roll. When you get home, you jump online to rant about the state of Hollywood and the film industry and how theater experiences aren't what they used to be and, damnit, movies just aren't original anymore. Wait just a minute! Before you hit "publish" on that raving blog post, take a breath. Your angry screed isn't helping anything; the industry's gonna stay that way as long as it keeps selling tickets. And, as the saying goes, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." With that in mind, I'll do you a favor: Here's five templates for movie pitches that are guaranteed to sell. Pick your favorite genre!
Romantic ComedyHe's a (adjective) (noun). She's a (opposite adjective) (stereotypically female profession). When they bump into each other at (location), it's love at first sight--that is until they realize each other's dark secrets. When she finds out he's secretly (verb ending in -ing) her (noun), she vows she'll never love him. Still, he's convinced she's the one, so he must convince her he's really (positive adjective). He follows her to (city) and romantically sweeps her off her feet by (action). The movie ends in the wedding of her dreams.
Action(tough-sounding male name) is a retired (profession). But when he finds out (landmark) is the next target of (collective noun), he returns to his old post to take them down. Unfortunately, he's the only one who knows of the plan, so he must convince (authority figure) to believe him. Armed with only his wits and his prized (noun), he goes rogue and must race against time to save (landmark). Bourbon gains the trust and help of (racial stereotype) and together the two take down the evil (collective noun) and save the day, earning (accolades) from (authority figure).
ComedyWhen (male name) finds out he's (revelation), his world is turned upside-down. He quits his job, he sells his house, and he moves to (location) on a whim. He finds out it wasn't what he expected and must learn to deal with a new way of life. While dealing with (revelation) he meets (second male name), a (profession) with a (adjective) attitude towards life. The two quickly become best friends despite their differences. Suddenly, everything changes when (main character) realizes his (revelation) was a complete hoax. Will he keep his new life, or try to return to his old one?
Horror(male name) and (female name) just moved to (location). It's their dream home and these newlyweds are excited to embark on their lives together. But their real estate agent didn't tell them their house is haunted by (plural noun). At first it's small things, like missing (plural household object) and broken (second plural noun). But the scares quickly escalate as the pair begins seeing (noun) and other specters roaming the house. They decide to call the police, but they can't help. The couple discovers their house was last occupied by (second male name), a (type of criminal) who was killed by (collective noun). Will the couple survive the haunting, or be torn apart by fear?
Kids' MovieThis animated feature is a wacky, modern-day retelling of (Shakespearean play) as told through the lives of (plural noun). The language is toned down for children and it's given a happier ending.

Through the first nine months of this year, IRI numbers are once again telling a familiar story: Craft and cider continue to carry the beer segment's growth across multi-outlet and convenience channels (MULC) with dollar sales swelling 21.3 percent and 82.1 percent, respectively.
There are some more specific noteworthy takeaways, however, in the data collected up through September 7, regarding specific styles, brands and packages.
For starters, the IPA continues its reign as the top selling craft style. Dollar sales are up 48.9 percent across MULC, which includes food, drug, club, dollar and military stores. That said, seasonal offerings are making significant gains, growing dollar sales 17.8 percent and amassing a 15.38 share of the craft category behind IPAs' 22.89.
Moving to the top 30 craft brands across MULC, two Lagunitas staples not only enjoyed near identical growth, but also boasted the highest overall increases in dollar sales.
Sales of the Petaluma, Calif. brewery's flagship IPA have grown 68.8 percent, to $29.7 million, making it the eighth best selling craft brand overall. Dollar sales for Lagunitas' flanker brand, Lil Sumpin' Sumpin' grew 68.6 percent, totaling $9.8 million in MULC, securing its spot as the 26th best selling craft brand.
Other notable flagships outpacing category growth included Bell's Two Hearted Ale (58.3 percent), SweetWater's 420 Pale Ale (40.2 percent), as well as New Belgium's Fat Tire and Ranger IPA offerings, which saw the second and third highest growth among top 10 craft brands, growing 26.4 percent and 32.1 percent respectively.
Boston Beer's seasonal offerings topped the list, growing dollar sales 18 percent, but, curiously enough, Boston's variety pack saw sales dip 9.6 percent, which was the most dramatic fall off among all top 30 craft brands.
From a packaging perspective, despite the emergence of canned offerings, glass still rules everything around beer. Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale in 12-packs was the only canned offering to crack the top 50 craft packages at number 18. Its 21 percent growth in dollar sales dwarfed that of its glass counterpart, however, which grew only 4 percent (though it was still the fifth best selling overall package).

The capital of France is one of three cities having the most developed economies in the world. It is voted as "the most romantic city" by a variety of tourists because of the beauty of the Eiffel Tower, the famous painting Mona Lisa, the Notre Dame, ect. If you want to plan a budget trip to Paris by yourself, this article will provide necessary knowledge to complete it.
Obviously, the first thing you need to do before going abroad is getting a visa. Therefore, find out about how to process one in you country. Besides, don't forget that a Schengen Visa will be more convenient since you can use it to visit many other countries in Europe.
You should choose AirFrance Airlines because all flights of this airline transit in Paris.
Although being one of the world's most developed cities, there is no need to worry about accommodation services here. There are good hotels or motels with extremely reasonable prices in Paris. You can rent a short-term hostel room in case that you visit the city just in few days or a week. Want to experience home stays? The Best and Breafast in Paris website is a good reference for you.
The main means of transport in Paris are bicycle, tram, bus and subway. If you want to explore around the city, bicycle and tram are the best choices because they are easy to rent. Especially, the first 30 minutes riding bikes would be free.
Another option is bus. This vehicle would provide information and knowledge of the destinations where it leads to while moving. At the price of 27 Euro per day, bus is very cheap and convenient for the tourists.
In case you like travelling by subway, you had better buy 10 tickets for the whole trip since it is much cheaper than purchasing one after another. You can pay for the ticket by visa, cash or buy it directly from the ticket counter.
In France in general and Paris in particular, almost people can speak English. However, you should learn a few sentences in French to show your friendliness to local people. They will certainly appreciate it.
The ideal time to travel to Paris is between February and June due to warmer weather. If you visit the city in July or August, the hot climate of the summer will make it uncomfortable to travel around. Likewise, with bitter weather in the winter, you can not experience beautiful landscapes as well as attractive activities here.
The famous Eiffel Tower is an impressive structure located on Champ-de-Mars Park, next to the Seine, Paris. This 300-meter high tower was built by Gustave Eiffel and his colleagues to celebrate the Universal Expo in 1889 and the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution as well. Since there are numerous people visiting it everyday, the most convenient and simple way is taking a tour of The Eiffel Tower.
movie Underworld: Blood Wars 2016 trailer
This is considered as the most famous museum all over the world with the painting Mona Lisa and thousands of other artifacts. Up to 25,000 visitors come here each day. Besides, the price of ticket is quite expensive. Hence, you should visit it at the weekend because there is no entrance fee. In case you want to see Mona Lisa, try to come soon and remember not to bring any food into the museum.
Have you ever read or watch the well-known movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame? In the 19th century, this work of the writer Victor Hugo became a driving force to urge the government to repair the church when it was destroyed by war. Additionally, it is an everlasting structure in the heart of those who love Paris. Especially, it is free to visit the church except for its top.
Eating and drinking is the costliest expense of a self-sufficient trip. You can eat fast food or prepare some before travelling. Nevertheless, don't forget to enjoy a meal with French classic fare at the La Cantine de Quentin. Another selection is small restaurants at the Latin Quarter. Especially, the price at noon is cheaper than in the evening. About drinking, you can take water from public taps since it is very clean and, of course, free. Finally, there are just few public toilets in the capital of France, thus, you can use WC of a café or a restaurant instead.

Day tour
The tour begins on Sukhumvit Road Soi 26 at 10:00 hrs. We cycle away from the jam-packed roads of Bangkok into the lively Khlong Toey market. Here we find a colorful blend of Thai and Chinese goods. The route takes us through a working-class neighborhood rarely visited by tourists, where you can experience yet another side of the metropolis. You'll also head through "Little Chinatown", where children enthusiastically wave and shout "hello" at the unusual sight of foreigners on bicycles.
We cross the Chao Praya river by a local long tail boat and enter an area called Phra Pradaeng, where we cycle on narrow elevated pathways through orchards and traditional Bangkok communities. While dining at a local home or restaurant, you will feel the hospitality for which Thais are known. You will be back at the starting point approx. 15:00 hrs.
Please note!
The route is subject to change because we offer different trips every day. You do not have to be in top physical condition to participate in the tour but you should expect to cycle 15-20 km for 4-5 hours. There are no hills to climb and you can expect an easy and relaxed ride.

Wang Wei is a 23-year-old Chinese photographer, based-in Beijing. He has been shooting film since 2011 with a SAMSUNG FF 222, a Konica Lexio70, and a Leica Minilux Zoom.
Wang who has just featured on Shooting Film has many reasons to love shooting film and he would like to share his 5 main things in this article.
1. The reality. I like to use film because its results turn out more realistic. Since most of my characters are young, they are usually confident, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as it is realistic, then it is perfect.
2. The convenience. I usually use a very simple camera, it is easy to carry with, and there is no complex settings, i just focus on the main object.
3. The colour. I do really like the colour from film compare to digital.
4. The unexpectation. I enjoy the unexpected results from film. With a DSLR people can see the result right after shooting and decide whether to keep or delete the photo within seconds.
5. The wait. With film, you have to wait for the end of each roll, also the development time to see the result. Can not delete or edit it.

Stay focused on the engineering reality defined by your capabilities and requirements. Line up the engineering tasks with the business value. A shift in the engineering tasks should be a conscious decision as a result of conversations between the technical and business leaders in order to better deliver on the business value. Technical debt can be discarded when the engineering objectives change. Remember all technology is transient and that pride cometh before a fall.
Given all that has passed and is pressing,
Shown beneath this velvet veil of night;
Shallow do these words now feel from this breath,
Small these thoughts held against your might.
Deep the wellspring of these flighty thoughts,
Ardent arrows of dreams their flight do aid;
If only one should land upon your fiery brow,
This task would stand completed.
This day that dawns a thousand sighs unbounded,
Should leave so barren a bosom as mine;
There across Hercules seas should flash,
Hermes's wings could barely keep apace.
Glorious in splendour lift up your eyes,
The days of your future stand ready to unfurl;
Beneath what skies none may yet say;
To you alone time listens,
the things we trust to github
One of the issues of using public GitHub is that, well, it's public. Even with the layers of security, it's all your information 'out there'. Somewhere.
However, it is a fact of life that we all use GitHub and many large and small companies choose the hosted GitHub option over hosting an in-house, expensive GitHub Enterprise environment. The problem is that developers and operations folks sometimes push things into GitHub without thinking. How about those keys or passwords you're meant to use Ansible Vault or StackExchange blackbox for but didn't?
With this in mind someone on the internet wrote gitrob to try and provide some kind of insight into what you may or may not be storing in your vast, sprawling, micro-services hell of repos. It's pretty neat and all but we're a docker house for better or worse and we wanted it packaged neatly for us. To that end we created a docker image for gitrob and how we use it at TES Global.
In essence, using docker, you can run a container as the main backend service while running a scan container on a cron job to keep the information updated. This works well for us, but your milage will vary. You will need Postgres and a GitHub OAuth token in order to get this to work. See the README.md here for more information.
By the way, all we did was dockerize this – much kudos to Michael Henriksen for gitrob!
a good policy
The new immigration policies coming into effect in April 2016 for the United Kingdom make it clear that we demand that those who wish to immigrate to this country are able to contribute and grow with the nation.
The left of course are up in arms over this and so are some sectors such as nursing. Of course people will be affected by this.
Policies aren't defined to effect the least number of people but to enact sensible constraints under which this nation can grow and become stronger.
If we require more nurses then let us invest in the training of nurses. Of educating young adults about the vocation, not buying the cheapest we can find or going abroad and paying rates that we can ill afford.
Disturbingly, this article cites the RCN as saying:
Research released by the RCN to coincide with its annual congress in Bournemouth, suggests that up to 3,365 nurses, who cost £20.19m to recruit, could be affected. But it says that figure could spiral by 2020, particularly, if workforce pressures lead to increased international recruitment, in which case 29,755 nurses, costing more than £178.5m to recruit, could be affected.
I wonder if I'm the only person who is dumfounded that it cost roughly £7K per nurse in recruitment fees? I've recruited large numbers of people before, with much tougher and rarer skillsets than nursing, and I've never paid that sort of price for a far small volume of staff.
Someone somewhere is fleecing the NHS and the country.
The article goes on to quite a Home Office spokesperson as saying:
A Home Office spokesman said: "As the prime minister has made clear, the government wants to reduce the demand for migrant labour.
"There are exemptions to this threshold for occupations where the UK has a shortage – but the independent Migration Advisory Committee recommended against adding nurses to the shortage occupation list after taking evidence from groups, including the RCN.
"Employers have had since 2011 to prepare for the possibility their non-EEA workers may not meet the required salary threshold to remain in the UK permanently."
So it seems that we've had four years to plan for this and yet, once again, our public sector seems to have buried it's head in the sand perhaps? Could they have been baking on a labour government to keep the feed trough open and pour more money into a badly run and poorly organised system? I suspect so.
Yes there will be disruption, which could have been avoided if these public service sectors who knew about it for four years had not ignored the coming change. Instead they chose to ignore it in the hopes it went away. Well, it won't. It's coming.
Time for change.
end austerity now
I posit that we must indeed end austerity now. As I'm an engineer and I never bring a problem to the table without options for resolution, let's have a look at this challenge shall we?
First, let's work out what that word Austerity means shall we?
Austerity– policies enacted by governments to reduce national debts.
Simple isn't it.
They are the policies that governments use to reduce national debt.
They are the policies that governments use to reduce national debt.
They are the policies that governments use to reduce national debt.
Now lets see what the national debt is shall we?
The National Debt – the total amount of money that a nation's government has borrowed.
The total amount of money that a nation's government has borrowed.
The total amount of money that a nation's government has borrowed.
The total amount of money that a nation's government has borrowed.
In taking these two terms we may then say that Austerity is the way in which a national government reduces the amount of borrowing it is forced into making.
Thus the real question becomes:
How do we end the reduction in borrowing.
How do we end the reduction in borrowing? Does that even seem like a sensible question to ask?
Well, my experience is that there are no nonsense questions but merely questions that help to refine ideas, so let's tackle this question.
If we are to attempt to stop the reduction in borrowing we must first understand why we borrow money. Think of it in personal terms. How much personal debt do you have? How much money have you borrowed for things and activities you really wanted but didn't have the cash for yourself?
Let's take a look at some key items of personal debt as researched by The Money Charity 2014 Debt Stats :
- £54,197 was the average household debt (including mortgages) in November
- £163 million was the daily amount of interest paid on personal debt in November
- 7,015 debt problems were dealt with by the CAB each working day over the year to September
- 1,315 people were made redundant every day between August and October
- 866,000 people had been unemployed for over a year between August and October
- £11.0 million of loans are written-off daily by UK Banks and Building Societies (based on Q3 2013 trends)
- Every 18 min 15 sec a property is repossessed (based on Q3 2013 trends)
- Every 5 min 3 sec someone is declared insolvent or bankrupt (based on Q3 2013 trends)
- £1.479 billion was the daily value of all purchases made using plastic cards in October
Those are startling figures and very worrying ones too I think you'll agree. But we're talking about the national debt so what's our national money being spent on? From the very useful website UK Public Spending we can see the following:
That website is really useful and you should spend time there looking at how spending is increasing. All those figures are in BILLIONS of £.
Sensible people will understand that ever increasing debt causes real issues. In your own life think about what problems mounting debt has caused and yes I speak from experience. In your own life think about what measures you took to get your debt under control and reduce it to a manageable level or eradicate it completely and yes once again I speak from experience.
The end goal is the same whether dealing with personal or national debt. Reduce it and if possible eliminate it. A surplus is what we as private individuals and as a nation should be aiming for. The mythical beast of manageable debt is a two faced hag that will get you in the end. It's really hard and sometimes not possible. Sometimes it takes years. For a nation, it takes decades. The numbers are so much bigger. I hope!
Going back to the question of ending Austerity then, we are trying to stop the reduction in borrowing. Should we in fact be trying to stop this then? The answer, should in my and a lot of peoples considered opinion, is no.
It is a good thing to reduce debt.
It is a good thing to reduce borrowing.
It is a good thing to have surplus cash in the bank.
I hope we can all agree that living in debt whether a private citizen or an entire nation is a very damaging situation to be in. As individuals there is a tendency at times to think, that as we are already in debt there's no harm in being more in debt. As a nation, socialist policies are in the same vein.
Both are irresponsible and completely without reason.
As a private individual, if we push ourselves further into debt it is only ourselves and our dependants we put at risk. As a nation we risk millions of people's lives and futures.
It is irresponsible.
The way to reduce debt and borrowing in either case is reduce expenditure. As a personal citizen it means being more rigorous about what we buy and what we think we need. As a government it means looking at where the public spending is largest and reducing that spend as much as possible. That means the government also has to be rigorous about who the money is really targeted at. It means making sure that those that need get the money and not those that just want it because need and want are two very different things.
We all have to reduce our debts. Because debt is bad.
The problem with the general public perception of Austerity is the one sided reporting by the media intent on feeding the frenzy of public reaction in order to sell copy or drive traffic to a website.
The government's Austerity measures are designed to better manage the available funding and to reduce the amount of extra funding we need from external sources.
Austerity measures are NOT designed to stop you paying your mortgage, getting medical help, being protected in your home, feeding your children, heating your home, going to work or any of the other things you want to do.
But that is exactly the way in which the socialist left want you to look at these measures.
The socialist left want you to feel that the government is attacking your ability to do the things you want to do.
The socialist left want you to feel that the government is trying to prevent your access to public services.
The socialist left want you to feel that it is them and us.
Don't believe the hype.
Yes. Some people are wealthy. Some were given their wealth by their parents. Some won it. Most however worked bloody hard to get it. But don't believe that just because they have money they don't worry about losing it all or that some financial market fluctuation couldn't see them and their families out on the street. The higher you climb the greater the fall. They worry about how they leave what they have earned to their children without a large part of it being taken by the government. They worry that perhaps they won't be able to send their children to the best schools to ensure they get the best chances for the future. They worry about being seen to be wealthy because they could be targeted for theft or worse.
Yes. Some people are very poor. Some don't have the education to enable them to get better paying jobs. They worry about how they can afford to get that education to try and better themselves and their families. They have more visceral concerns about where the next meal is coming from. They worry about paying for the heating. They worry about paying for the electric. They worry what happens when the last fiver is spent and they have to wait for the next benefits payment from the government to buy anything. They worry about how they're going to get their children better educated so they can have a better life. They worry about how they get their children to believe in being better when surrounded by so much negativity in the media.
Yes. Some people can't be bothered to be anything more than they are. They're concerned about affording that new flat screen T.V. and sure, the kids can have chips and low quality fried chicken so they can afford it. They worry they might have to use all the effort at doing nothing to actually do something to get their benefits in the future. They worry about popping down to some type of weekly payments store and getting themselves more debt they can't hope to repay. They're worried about these immigrants with their strange customs and languages coming in taking all the jobs they didn't apply for.
Yes. Some people are handicapped. They're worried that it's hard to find a job because employers aren't educated enough to understand a physical handicap is not an obstacle to mental agility. They worry that public transport doesn't always make it easy to get around when you have to rely on a wheelchair. They worry that the benefits they get might be reduced making it hard for them to live even though they're doing all they can to work hard.
Yes. Some people are liars, lazy or just stupid. They're worried they'll get found out for not actually being in need. They worry they'll be found out for stealing money from those that actually need to support to get ahead. They worry that the perhaps they'll have to do some level of work to get their benefits. They worry that their life of complaining and whining isn't enough for people to feel pity any more. They worry that they won't be able to get as big a part of the social fund as possible so they don't have to work or try as hard elsewhere.
There are many more types. Which are you?
Are you really so simple an entity that the term 'them' or 'us' fits who you are?
Think about it.
The only difference between each of us is the context we live our lives in. Of attitude. Of the desire to be better and have a better quality of life. Whether we understand that quality of life is defined by our effort and not given to us by anyone else.
If you want to end Austerity you have to be part of that solution. Because guess what?
Do you really believe the socialist press when they paint the government as some maniacal evil machine bent on oppressing you? Really? It's just easier for you believe in the black and white of the cartoon press instead of using your intellect to question and search for challenges and answers yourselves? Really?
The government wants to end the reduction in borrowing by eliminating the need to borrow.
That's the secret you're not meant to find out.
You're an intelligent and capable human being.
Be better than what the socialist left want you to be.
thank you charlotte
I refer in this post to the Channel 4 article reported on the 4th of June 2015.
Thank you Charlotte. Thank you.
Thank you for demonstrating so succinctly the reason why your particular brand of idiocy was booted out of government.
Thank you for demonstrating so succinctly how naive and small minded your brand of rose tinted spectacles really is.
Thank you for demonstrating so succinctly how ridiculous the socialists have truly become.
Thank you.
"The welfare state is everything, it's our fire service, it's our NHS, it's our education, our travel network; it's everything we have. So, we will all be affected by these cuts and I think, as soon as people realise the extent of it and how it really is going to impact pretty much all of us, I think they're going to be a lot angrier and a lot more discontent than they are now," she told reporters.
The welfare state, Charlotte, is a failed state. It is a state that works only in a microcosm of the society and the economic realities of the modern world. When bishop Temple coined the phrase he lived in a very different world to that which we inhabit today, no matter how much you and your socialist loonatics would like it to be different. It is an ideal rooted in the realities of an era now long in our past. Our problems stem from the lack of understanding about the irrelevance of the welfare state by people like you Charlotte.
We don't live in a world where the welfare systems of the nation are used by those only in real need but also by those who would choose to use it. We don't live in a world where an unending pot of money is readily available to be doled out to all and sundry in order to make everyone feel better. We don't live in a world where bloated services which are struggling to cope with change can be supplied an unending amount of money in order to keep the status quo.
Because that's what you and your naive friends are really calling for. To keep the status quo. You aren't asking for change Charlotte, because when change is offered to you it is attacked and refused because you'd all like the safe little cocoon you think you built yourself.
Ms Church added that the way the government has talked to the public about the economy was "unfair and unacceptable".
Really Charlotte?
The government has taken the sugar coating off the language used in the economy. The only way to make it any simpler is to – well, there isn't any way to make it simpler Charlotte. What's unfair and unacceptable is to lie to the people of this country as the last Labour government did about how well the economy would be doing if only we taxed all the rich people to hilt.
Charlotte? Are you listening?
They're the ONLY people who can afford simply to leave a system which is punishing them for their success. You want to tax big business to the hilt? Do you realise where that actually hurts Charlotte? People who WORK FOR A LIVING Charlotte.
Charlotte? Are you listening?
These companies can simply downsize and move their opportunities elsewhere to one of the many developing countries where they can save costs. Do you really believe you understand the delicate interdependencies that exist in modern society?
Do you get it yet Charlotte?
There isn't the money in the pot. It's been spent by a frivolous socialist government that wanted to give as much as possible for free.
Charlotte? Are you listening?
That means growth is followed by contraction and is further complicated by the geopolitics of a whole WORLD also trying to play the same tap dancing routine on quicksand. It means we're all interconnected Charlotte, right across the globe. It means that you ALWAYS have to budget for the bad and you HAVE to make sure you've got the buffer to survive.
Do you get it yet?
Something has to give.
It won't be the hardworking people who bust our balls to make our own way in the world.
It will be the enormous amounts of waste in our public services. The 40 or 50 day holidays. The overpaid and underworked temps.
It will be the idea that being born entitles you to anything but opportunity. The concept that somehow the government and the nation owes you a living, a house or a car.
It will be the idea that somehow those that have done well for themselves should give a large share of their earnings in order that everyone else can also enjoy the same level of lifestyle for which they have not worked for. The concept that by doing well we're some how indebted to those that haven't done the same as us.
Because Charlotte injustice and inequality is being taxed to the hilt to pay for services that fail to deliver regardless of the billions pumped into them. The services that bitch and complain about cuts and then go on strike – because that makes everything better. The people who think that driving a metal tube around a closed loop is somehow worth upwards of £60k a year when we could replace them with machines for a third of the cost.
Because Charlotte, injustice and inequality is having to work 18 hours a day to earn a great house, while someone else is handed a million pound house because they had a dozen children but can't afford to support them.
Because Charlotte, injustice and inequality is making a contribution to our society and our world but being derided for it because we've made better choices than others.
Because Charlotte, injustice and inequality is someone who can afford to drink every night and get the full range of Sky sports channels complaining that they don't have the same luxuries that others do.
Because Charlotte, injustice and inequality is the whining and the bitching from people who have chosen not to pursue a course of financial wealth about not having the same facilities as those who have. It isn't just nor is it fair for those who don't wish to concentrate on financial gain to demand parity with those that do.
Charlotte? Are you listening?
Money makes the world go round Charlotte. Try to wake up to that fact would you?
Money drives our lives, our choices. Generating money for ourselves, for our nation is the prime concern of a lot of people because money gives us the things we want. I would have thought you of all people would have understood that Charlotte.
People like you Charlotte have no idea what paying 60% or 70% tax for people who don't earn your level of income means. By all means, if you want to pay 60% or 70% tax, then please do so. The exchequer, depleted by the last bunch of socialist children, would welcome it.
You realise that you aren't the only person who pays all their taxes right Charlotte? Most of us do. We pay quite a lot and looking at the breakdown of where all the taxes go is sickening. Welfare outstrips everything.
You see Charlotte, the problem is that people like you believe that the world exists to make you happy and carefree. The world doesn't. It doesn't care. Wake up.
The thing is Charlotte, the world works very differently. The world understands that in order for a species to get better, to be brighter, to achieve more, people need a hand up NOT a handout. The welfare state Charlotte is a handout. What the government is building is a solution for giving those that reach for it a hand up.
There is no moral nor legal requirement for a government to make everyone happy. The government simply has to ensure that opportunity exists for those that wish to take advantage of it. It does not have to ensure that the rewards for those that don't strive for them match the rewards attained by those that do.
Ms Church said that Britain would see a "broad coalition against the vicious attacks from this vindictive government", adding: "It hasn't taken the Conservative government very long to attack unions by planning ballot thresholds, when it only had the support of 24 per cent of the electorate."
The government is not vindictive Charlotte. Grow up. This isn't reality T.V. It's reality.
The government is composed of people who do their best to ensure that the legacy our generation leaves for the next isn't one of debt, delinquency and apathy.
Your statements are vindictive Charlotte.
Your statements are vicious attacks.
The government do a dirty job leading people who wish to absolve themselves of responsibility – the populace. They do it for a very relatively small amount of money considering the responsibility and repercussions of their duty on themselves and their families.
The government isn't saying the unions can't ballot members for action. They're saying that if you as a union member feel that you should strike, then you have to vote for it. The London bus strike in January had a turnout of only 16% of the people entitled to take part in the ballot.
Charlotte, if you believe in the 24% point you make in the same statement you must agree that 16% is in the same vein?
All the government is saying is that you have to have a QUORUM in order to hold strike action ballots and if a union can't get that quorum then its a good indication that the members don't want it. If they can't be bothered to vote – that speaks volumes.
Just because it's a union it doesn't get a free pass through a reality check before affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of people trying to get on with their day.
That's injustice and inequality Charlotte.
You make a point of 24% of the eligible electorate voted for the Conservatives. There's a reason why 'first past the post' was selected by the populace when given a choice. Because it's meant to reduce the chance of a fragmented government unable to action any policies or make any progress.
You'll note that 66.1% of the electorate turned up to vote. 36.9% of them voted for the Conservatives. The rest decided to vote for other parties.
Charlotte? Are you listening?
The Conservatives had the biggest block of votes of any single party. There was a greater concentration of votes for that party than any others. That's the point.
Do you get it yet?
You think that hundreds of thousands of people marching through London causing mayhem and rioting, because you certainly can't control who turns up to your rally, is going sway the millions of people in this country who will be pissed off that once more a bunch of socialists who don't really get it are getting in the way of everyone else who does. That once more the minority who want something for nothing is complaining about not getting it. That once again 'celebrities' who have little or no visceral contribution to the planet are speaking about things they know nothing of.
Charlotte? Are you listening?
You're being naive and childish. Throwing your toys out of the pram because your particular brand of crazy lost the election. Because 36.9% of those that did bother to vote decided that the Conservative approach was the best approach.
Charlotte? Are you listening?
- Because of the 36.9% this country is going to build a buffer against the lean times to come.
- Because of the 36.9% this country is going to have a safety net for those that are in need instead of a feeding trough being abused by those that don't.
- Because of the 36.9% this country is going to once again have a world class education system.
- Because of the 36.9% this country is going to once again have a world class healthcare culture.
- Because of the 36.9% this country is going to have a public transport system other nations will model.
- Because of the 36.9% this country is going to get itself off its arse and start achieving.
Charlotte? Are you listening?
The duty of government is not to provide carefree lives for one group of it's citizens at the expense of another group of it's citizens. It's duty is to provide opportunities and promote abilities within its entire populace to seize those opportunities for advancement and betterment. To drive each of it's citizens to be better.
Do you get it yet?
The freedoms we enjoy come with the responsibility to work for them. They are not free.
perfect moments
Life can turn on one perfect moment. When you begin to lose hope, to douse the fires of ambition and want, there can be a pure moment of clarity and one may never know whence it came or how it maybe have been deserved.
It is never easy to know these moments and many will pass you by. Some however scream at you louder than a thousand tortured gales. These are those that you must listen to most intently. Within the roar is a quiet voice that asks for attention and will speak to your soul if you let it. It may seem this voice is unimportant, a whisper of potential soon lost in the maelstrom, but you must listen. You must reach for it with that invisible all that is your spirit. You must hold it, most gently, with the force of your will.
Some people come into your life with nothing more than a casual glance. Others with hollow fanfare. Those that mean something will simply seem to have always been there. You will know these people by the hole in your life you suddenly see which seems strangely an exact match for them. Revel in what they bring to you. Remember to give back more.

Rochester Honkers relief pitcher killed in auto accident
ROCHESTER -- Mitch Caster, a relief pitcher for the Rochester Honkers in the Northwoods League was killed in a car accident Monday morning.
Caster was driving home to Kansas when he lost control of his sport utility vehicle on Interstate 35 near Des Moines, Iowa. Caster's vehicle struck an oncoming semi after crossing the median into the northbound lane. The accident occurred just after midnight.
Caster pitched the sixth and seventh innings of Sunday's 9-1 championship game loss to Eau Claire, Wis. He allowed one run on two hits and struck out two. For the season, he was 1-4 with a 3.55 ERA in 19 relief appearances.
Caster also played in the Northwoods League for the Brainerd Blue Thunder in 2008. The 21-year old was about to begin his senior year at Wichita State. He was a 2007 graduate of Goddard High School in Goddard, Kansas.
According to a story in the Rochester Post Bulletin, Honkers teammate Jimmy Waters, who plays at the University of Kansas, was driving his car just ahead of Caster, who was alone in his car, and witnessed the accident in his rear-view mirror.
Waters told Honkers manager Ryan Ruiz in a phone call that he thinks he saw a front tire blow out on Caster's SUV, and that's what caused the crash. There has been no confirmation of that by police.

Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are three of philosophy's greatest contributors. You already knew that. But what you might not know is that they all lived in classical Athens at around the same time. You might not know that Socrates was executed for practicing free speech. You might not know that Plato was sold into slavery for making the Tyrant of Syracuse angry. And you might not know that Aristotle tutored the famous Alexander the Great.
The philosophers were part of some crazy world events as well. The Peloponnesian War, the Macedonian takeover, the 30 tyrants who thought they could wipe out Athenian democracy...it's all there.
Truth be told, there's not a lot of testimony out there detailing what their lives were like. Historians of those days were more concerned with documenting the perpetual civil wars, and the philosophers' students were more concerned with recording their teachers' ideas. However, this book by Simon T. Bailey, entitled Greek Philosophers: The Lives and Times of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, is a look into what it might have been like for Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to live in Athens in the fourth and fifth centuries BCE.
If you're looking for a dry, professorial work full of archaeological evidence, then this book isn't going to be your cup of tea, but if you're looking for a partially fictionalized rendition of the philosophers' lives and thoughts that seeks to humanize those marble statues or for something to wet your palate and get you excited about ancient Greek history and philosophy, then this book is your boon.

Blind Light Trailer (2007)
01 January 2007 22 mins
Blind Light is filmed in the artist's London loft. The presence of camera, studio and artist/performer are registered through image and sound, the loss of the former filling out the presence of the latter. In this way the physicality of object, space and subject as well as their inferiority is fleshed out, mapping out a space that is at once material and psychical. Controlling the light she allows into the frame, the artist lifts the blinds or pulls them shut, applies or removes lens filters, opens wide the aperture or closes it. Each performance or action threatens the image as it shifts in and out of 'proper' exposure until it disappears completely. Focusing either on the window or the sky, the artist narrates her camera operation whilst also describing what she sees; intermixing receptive and projective vision.

New York Yankees vs Minnesota Twins
MINNEAPOLIS -- Four games in three days, with one 16-inning affair mixed in, have the New York Yankees weary and facing a pitching shortage.
New York has little time to adjust as it travels to Minnesota for a three-game series with the Twins starting on Monday.
The overworked Yankees were left scrambling to the point where manager Joe Girardi wasn't able to say who would start on the mound Monday immediately after the team wrapped up a Sunday doubleheader at Boston.Read More...

The football season is rolling along, and baseball (except for the major league playoffs and some instructional leagues) is virtually over. But here in New Haven, the collegiate version of the diamond game took a last gasp Sunday at Yale Field. The annual City Series wound up, and the host team, Yale, gained the championship with a 6-0 shutout over Quinnipiac.
Along with the University of New Haven and Southern Connecticut, the four schools have staged the event for over 40 years, even before Ron Darling played in it as a Yale freshman in 1971.
Originally, they played the series in the spring, and the games were part of the official records. But scheduling problems caused it to switch to October, as a culmination of fall practice. However, these games are not scrimmages, but played with all the trappings and intensity of regular season contests.
As usual, at the historic ballpark on Derby Avenue across from the Yale Bowl, the big scoreboard in center field was in operation and the public address system was going. There was even food and beverage service available near the entrance. The attendance was moderate, but no worse than the colleges draw in springtime. Those who were there, however, seemed really into it.
In the first round on Friday, Yale defeated New Haven, 4-3, under the lights, after Quinnipiac won over Southern, 4-2. The Owls were the defending champion.
The third place and championship games were rained out on Saturday, then played under ideal October conditions the next day. It was probably just as well, since they would have been going on at the same time as the Dartmouth-Yale football game across the street.
After the New Haven Chargers defeated Southern for third place in the opener on Sunday, three Yale pitchers, Chasen Ford and two freshmen, Eric Brodkowitz and Drew Scott, pitched the shutout over the Bobcats. Scott struck out the side in the ninth.
Yale's big inning was the third when the Bulldogs scored five runs, bunting six times off Bobcats' hard luck pitcher, Joe Scaglione. The Bobcats committed three errors in that inning, and Yale capitalized on them.
David Toups, the Bulldogs' captain, was named the City Series MVP.
"We played really well today," said Yale coach John Stuper. "We played some small-ball, tested the defense a little bit, forced the action, and our pitchers were absolutely tremendous."
